NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of RCM Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (“RCM” or the “Company”) are unaudited. The year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to reports on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended January 3, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for such period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods.

Results for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year.

2.	Fiscal Year

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The fiscal year ended January 3, 2015 was a 53-week reporting year. The first fiscal quarters of 2015 and 2014 ended on the following dates, respectively:

Period Ended	Weeks in Quarter	Weeks in Year to Date
April 4, 2015	Thirteen	Thirteen
March 29, 2014	Thirteen	Thirteen

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and borrowings under line of credit, 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

4.	Accounts Receivable, Transit Accounts Receivable and Transit Accounts Payable

The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised as follows:

	April 4, 2015		January 3, 2015
Billed	$48,231		$47,318
Accrued and unbilled	7,065		4,853
Work-in-progress	8,146		8,027
Allowance for doubtful accounts	(1,165	)	(1,011	)

Accounts receivable, net	$62,277		$59,187

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 contractually invoices at future dates.

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) may engage subcontractors to provide construction or other services; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value; and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is typically 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 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. The Company’s transit accounts payable generally exceeds the Company’s transit accounts receivable but absolute amounts and spreads fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the normal course of business. The transit accounts receivable was $4.6 million and related transit accounts payable was $5.4 million, for a net liability of $0.8 million, as of April 4, 2015. The transit accounts receivable was $3.8 million and related transit accounts payable was $6.7 million, for a net liability of $2.9 million, as of January 3, 2015.

The Company has a subcontract agreement with Black & McDonald Limited (“B&M”) to provide engineering and procurement services under B&M’s master services agreement with Ontario Power Generation (“OPG”). The Company understands that in October 2014, OPG provided to B&M notice of default and termination of a large purchase order from OPG to B&M with respect to which B&M had engaged several subcontractors, including the Company. B&M notified the Company that it is disputing OPG’s default claim on this purchase order. As of April 4, 2015 the Company had outstanding accounts receivable to B&M of $4.5 million under the disputed purchase order and, including such amount, a total of $10.9 million of outstanding accounts receivable to B&M. OPG has indicated to the Company that it will not make any further payments to B&M on the project in dispute. The Company has received notice from B&M that while B&M disputes OPG’s assertion it is in default, B&M believes that in the event that it is in default under its agreement with OPG, then the Company may also be in default under its agreement with B&M. The Company does not agree with this assertion.

The Company does not believe that any of its account receivables with B&M have been materially impaired and believes that its accounts receivable with B&M remain collectible, subject to existing reserves. However, it is possible that a protracted dispute between OPG and B&M may impact the Company’s ability to collect its outstanding accounts receivable in a timely manner.

5.	Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost 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 annual rates are 20% for computer hardware and software as well as furniture and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

	April 4, 2015	January 3, 2015
Equipment and furniture	$2,243	$2,585
Computers and systems	4,176	6,553
Leasehold improvements	674	781
	7,093	9,919

Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization	3,473	6,622

Property and equipment, net	$3,620	$3,297

The Company periodically writes off fully depreciated and amortized assets. The Company wrote off fully depreciated and amortized assets of $3,441 and $902 for the thirteen week periods ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively.

6.	Acquisitions

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 April 4, 2015, the Company had two active acquisition agreements whereby additional contingent consideration may be earned by the former shareholders: 1) effective July 1, 2012 the Company acquired certain assets of BGA, LLC (“BGA”); and 2) effective August 1, 2014 the Company acquired all of the stock of Point Comm, Inc. (“PCI”), as more fully described below. The Company cannot estimate future contingent payments with any certainty. However, the Company estimates future contingent payments at April 4, 2015 as follows:

Fiscal Year	BGA	PCI	Total
2015	$127	$262	$389
2016	271	197	468
2017	-	307	307
Estimated future contingent consideration payments	$398	$766	$1,164

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

6.	Acquisitions (Continued)

Actual future contingent payments may materially differ from the estimates above. Future contingent payments to be made to BGA and PCI are capped at cumulative maximums of $2.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company estimates future contingent consideration in payments based on forecasted performance and recorded the net present value of those expected payments as of April 4, 2015. The measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASU Topic 820-10-35) refers to as Level 3 inputs.

The Company paid $0.1 million and $0.3 million in contingent consideration during the thirteen week periods ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively. There were no other changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration during the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015.

Goodwill

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 and the balances are as follows:

8.	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 the Company determines that 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. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships and non-compete agreements.

The following table reflects the components of net intangible assets, excluding goodwill:

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 $35 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 12, 2014 when the maturity date was extended to December 11, 2019. 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, typically borrowed in fixed 30-day increments or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate generally borrowed over shorter durations. 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. The effective interest rate, including unused line fees, for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 was 2.5%.

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. The Company paid a special cash dividend on December 30, 2014 which was expressly permitted under its amended Revolving Credit Facility. As of April 4, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in its Revolving Credit Facility.

At both April 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015, borrowings under the line of credit were $20.0 and there were letters of credit outstanding for $0.8 million. At April 4, 2015, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $14.2 million.

10.	Per Share Data

Both basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods are calculated based on the reported earnings in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The number of shares of common stock used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the thirteen week periods ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014 was determined as follows:

	Thirteen Week Periods Ended
	April 4, 2015	March 29, 2014

Basic weighted average shares outstanding	12,456,220	12,455,004
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options	210,261	184,634
Weighted average dilutive shares outstanding	12,666,481	12,639,638

There were 240,000 and 30,000 absolute anti-dilutive shares not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents for the thirteen week periods ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively. These were determined to be anti-dilutive because the exercise prices of these shares for the period were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the same period.

Unissued shares of common stock were reserved for the following purposes:

	April 4, 2015	January 3, 2015

Exercise of options outstanding	49,500	53,000
Restricted stock awards outstanding	496,667	500,000

11.	Share-Based Compensation

At April 4, 2015, the Company had three share-based employee compensation plans. The Company measures the fair value of share-based 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. Awards 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 $304 and $174 was recognized for the thirteen week periods ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively.

As of April 4, 2015, the Company had approximately $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based 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 share-based awards that may be granted in future periods or reflect any potential changes in the Company’s forfeiture rate.

Incentive Share-Based Plans

2000 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan)

The 2000 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in April 2001, provided 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 consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. As of April 4, 2015, options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock granted under the 2000 Plan were outstanding.

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 consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. As of April 4, 2015, under the 2007 Plan, no shares of common stock were available for future grants and options to purchase 24,500 shares of common stock, as well as 296,667 restricted stock units, were outstanding.

The 2000 and 2007 Plans are expired and therefore no shares are available for grant thereunder.

2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the 2014 Plan)

The 2014 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in December 2014, provides for the issuance of up to 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, non-employee directors, employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the vesting period at the time of grant. As of April 4, 2015, under the 2014 Plan, 200,000 restricted stock units were outstanding and 425,000 shares were available for awards thereunder.

As of April 4, 2015, the Company had approximately $31 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option 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 options that may be granted in future periods or reflect any potential changes in the Company’s forfeiture rate.

11.	Share-Based Compensation (Continued)

Restricted Stock Units

From time-to-time the Company issues restricted stock units. These restricted stock units typically 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 stock units that ultimately do not vest are forfeited.

To date, the Company has only issued restricted stock units under the 2007 and 2014 Plans. The following summarizes activity in the restricted stock units under the 2007 and 2014 Plans during 2015:

	Number of Restricted Stock Units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding non-vested at January 3, 2015	500	$6.61
Granted	-	-
Vested	3	$6.61
Forfeited or expired	-	-
Outstanding non-vested at April 4, 2015	497	$6.61

Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $6.54 per share on April 2, 2015 (the last trading day prior to April 4, 2015), the intrinsic value of the non-vested restricted stock units at April 4, 2015 was approximately $3.2 million. As of April 4, 2015, there was approximately $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company implemented the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan with stockholder approval, effective January 1, 2001. Such Plan was subsequently amended, pursuant to stockholder approval where required, effective June 18, 2009 and September 16, 2009 (the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as so amended, the “Purchase Plan”). 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. The Company has two offering periods in the Purchase Plan coinciding with the Company’s first two fiscal quarters and the last two fiscal quarters. Actual shares are issued on the first day of the subsequent offering period for the prior offering period payroll deductions. The number of shares issued at the beginning of the current period (as of January 5, 2015) was 32,940. As of April 4, 2015, there were 89,544 shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

12 .	Treasury Stock Transactions

On October 28, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program to purchase up to $5.0 million of outstanding shares of common stock at the prevailing market prices, from time to time over the subsequent 12-month period. On September 30, 2014, the Board extended this repurchase program through October 31, 2015. During the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 and the comparable prior year period, the Company did not repurchase any shares.

13.	New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method on adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including which transition method it will adopt.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which states management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise a substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and likely to occur at the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard update will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, however, early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April, 2015, The FASB issued ASU 2015-03 S implifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the standard, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The standard will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2015. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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. As of April 4, 2015, the Company did not accrue for any such liabilities. Included in the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses is a provision for losses from legal matters aggregating $0.1 million as of March 29, 2014. Asserted claims in these matters sought approximately $1.4 million and $7.6 million in damages as of April 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015, respectively.

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.

ITEM 2.

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

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.

Despite a modest decrease in revenues, the Company experienced an increase in gross profit of 8.5% and an increase in operating income of 15.6%, as well as a modest increase in net income, during the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014.

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. This has had an adverse impact on spending by current and prospective clients 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.

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.

ITEM 2.

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

Overview (Continued)

Costs of services consist primarily of salaries and compensation-related expenses for billable consultants and employees, 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 current revenue recognition standards under ASC 605, 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 2.

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 Accounts Receivable and Transit Accounts Payable

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) may engage subcontractors to provide construction or other services or contracts with manufacturers on behalf of the Company’s clients to procure equipment or fixtures; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value or a negotiated mark-up on subcontractor or procurement charges 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 subcontractor/procurement costs or transit costs. In those situations, the Company charges the client a negotiated fee, which is reported as net revenue when earned. During the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015, total gross billings, including both transit cost billings and the Company’s earned fees, was $18.1 million, for which the Company recognized $10.7 million of its net fee as revenue. During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014, total gross billings, including both transit cost billings and the Company’s earned fees, was $14.6 million, for which the Company recognized $11.0 million of its net fee as revenue.

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is typically 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 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. The Company’s transit accounts payable generally exceeds the Company’s transit accounts receivable but absolute amounts and spreads fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the normal course of business. The transit accounts receivable was $4.6 million and related transit accounts payable was $5.4 million, for a net liability of $0.8 million, as of April 4, 2015.

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.

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.

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. During all periods presented, the Company determined that the existing qualitative factors did not suggest that an impairment of goodwill exists. Since there have been no indicators of impairment, the Company has not performed a quantitative impairment test.

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 2.

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 the 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 April 4, 2015, the Company had domestic short term deferred tax assets of $0.8 million, total domestic long term net deferred income tax assets of $0.6 million and a foreign short-term deferred 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 primarily 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, Canada and Puerto Rico. 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. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining fiscal tax years 2011 and 2012. The State of New Jersey is currently examining fiscal tax years 2009 through 2012. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by federal, state and local tax authorities in the United States for tax years prior to 2010. The Company is no longer subject to audit in Canada prior to tax year 2009. The Company is no longer subject to audit in Puerto Rico prior to tax year 2004.

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.

There were no changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the comparable prior year period.

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.

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 engineering and information technology 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.

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The fiscal quarters ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014 consisted of thirteen weeks each.

Revenues. Revenues decreased 1.2%, or $0.6 million, for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014 (the “comparable prior year period”). Revenues decreased $1.9 million in the Engineering segment and $0.4 million in the Information Technology segment and increased $1.7 million in the Specialty Health Care segment. See Segment Discussion for further information on revenue changes.

The Company has material operations in Canada; this business is conducted primarily in Canadian dollars. Since the Company reports its consolidated results in U.S. dollars the consolidated results are subject to potentially material fluctuations as a result of changes in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate. For the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015, the Company generated total revenues from its Canadian clients of $12.6 million in Canadian dollars ($11.9 million generated by work performed in Canada and $0.7 million generated by work performed in the U.S.), which translated to $10.2 million in revenues in U.S. dollars based on an effective Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate of 80.6%. For the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014, the Company generated total revenues from its Canadian clients of $14.6 million in Canadian dollars ($12.8 million generated by work performed in Canada and $1.8 million generated by work performed in the U.S.), which translated to $13.2 million in revenues in U.S. dollars based on an effective Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate of 90.3%. Had the effective Canadian exchange rate for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 of 80.6% been the same as the comparable prior period effective rate of 90.3%, reported revenues in U.S. dollars for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2015 would have been $1.2 million higher.

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

Thirteen Week Period Ended April 4, 2015 Compared to Thirteen Week Period Ended March 29, 2014 (Continued)

Cost of Services and Gross Profit. Cost of services decreased 4.5%, or $1.6 million, for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cost of services was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and a deliberate effort to reduce cost of services as a percentage of revenues across all three of the Company’s segments. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 72.3% for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 from 74.8% for the comparable prior year period. See Segment Discussion for further information regarding changes in cost of services as a percentage of revenues and consequently, gross profit.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses increased 6.9%, or $0.7 million, for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in SGA expense was primarily due to investment in personnel and infrastructure necessary to support current and prospective revenues and new service offerings. As a percentage of revenues, SGA expenses were 22.2% for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to 20.4% for the comparable prior year period. SGA expense as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to the decrease in revenues. However, SGA expenses as a percentage of gross profit decreased to 79.9% for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to 81.2% for the comparable prior year period.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, 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 that may occur from time to time. The Company’s interest expense, net of interest income for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 increased by approximately $0.1 million as compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the Company borrowing $20.0 million under its line of credit facility. The Company borrowed the $20.0 million in order to finance a special cash dividend of $25.3 million paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized $0.8 million of income tax expense for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to $0.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the current period was 37.5% as compared to 39.1% for the comparable prior year period. The projected fiscal 2015 effective income tax rate as of April 4, 2015 was approximately 41.8% and 31.0% in the United States and Canada, respectively. The relative income or loss generated in each jurisdiction can materially impact the overall effective income tax rate of the Company. The consolidated effective income tax rate decreased for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period because the Company’s Canadian income before taxes increased as a percentage of total income before taxes.

Segment Discussion

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $22.8 million in the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 decreased $1.9 million, or 7.8%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues of $2.4 million in the Company’s Canadian Engineering group, resulting from a reduced level of project activity with the Company’s Canadian engineering clients and a significant decrease in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The effective Canadian dollar exchange rate for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2015 for Engineering segment revenues was 80.6% as compared to 90.2% for the comparable prior year period. The change in the effective exchange rate resulted in a reduction of revenues converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars of $1.2 million for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015. The Engineering segment’s gross profit increased by $0.4 million or 7.5% for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Engineering segment’s gross profit margin increased to 24.7% for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2015 as compared to 21.2% for the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in both gross profit and gross profit margin was due to improved utilization in the Company’s Canadian Engineering Group as that unit increased gross profit by $0.4 million. The Engineering segment operating income was $1.1 million for both the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 and the comparable prior year period.

Segment Discussion (Continued)

Information Technology

Information Technology revenues of $14.7 million in the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 decreased $0.4 million, or 2.4%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues of $2.1 million from the Life Sciences Practice’s two largest fiscal 2014 clients that had multiple projects either conclude or decelerate. The Information Technology segment’s gross profit for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 increased marginally as compared to the comparable prior year period due to an increase in gross profit margin to 31.1% for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to 30.2% for comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit margin was due to an overall focus by the Information Technology segment on providing higher value higher margin services to its clients, improved utilization as well as natural quarter-to-quarter fluctuations. The Information Technology segment operating income was $0.8 million for both the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 and comparable prior year period.

Specialty Health Care

Specialty Health Care revenues of $10.5 million in the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 increased $1.7 million, or 19.2%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The primary drivers for the increase in the revenues for the Specialty Health Care segment were increases of $0.6 million from travel nursing staffing, $0.5 million from the Honolulu office and $0.2 million in permanent placement revenues. The Specialty Health Care segment’s gross profit for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 increased by $0.6 million, or 25.6%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the increase in revenues and an increase in gross profit margin to 29.6% for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to 28.1% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by an increased focus on delivering higher margin staffing services and increases to its permanent placement revenues. Specialty Healthcare experienced operating income of $0.4 million for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to $0.2 milling for comparable prior year period. The primary reasons for the increase in operating income were the increase in gross profit and the decrease of SGA as a percentage of revenues. SGA expense increased to $2.7 million in the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to $2.3 million in the comparable prior year period while the SGA expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 25.2% as compared to 26.1% in the comparable prior year period. SGA expense increased primarily due to increased investment in the Specialty Healthcare’s newer service lines (travel nursing staffing and health information management), and also a higher allocation of corporate infrastructure costs. SGA expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased due to the higher revenues and the spreading of fixed costs over a higher revenue base.

The following table summarizes the major captions from the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

		Thirteen Week Periods Ended
		April 4, 2015		March 29, 2014
Cash provided by (used in):
	Operating activities	($4,909	)	($2,807	)
	Investing activities	($617	)	($484	)
	Financing activities	$108		($94	)

Operating Activities

Operating activities used $4.9 million of cash for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to $2.8 million in the comparable prior year period. The major components of cash provided by or used in operating activities in the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 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, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued payroll and related costs.

Net income for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 was $1.4 million as compared to $1.2 million for the comparable prior year period. An increase in accounts receivables in the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 used $5.0 million of cash as compared to $4.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company primarily attributes the increase in accounts receivables for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 to normal fluctuations in collection cycles and sequential revenue growth from the Company’s Specialty Healthcare segment. The Company anticipates that those balances will decrease from the April 4, 2015 balances during the remaining three quarters in the Company’s fiscal 2015.

The Company’s transit accounts payable generally exceeds the Company’s transit accounts receivable, but absolute amounts and differences fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the normal course of business. The net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable was a net liability of $0.8 million as of April 4, 2015 and $2.8 million as of January 3, 2015, so the cash impact during the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 used $2.1 million in cash. The net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable was negligible at both March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 so the cash impact during the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014 was also negligible. Prepaid expenses and other current assets used a negligible amount of cash for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to using $1.2 million in the comparable prior year period.

An increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $1.5 million for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to providing a negligible amount of cash for the comparable prior year period. The Company attributes these changes to general timing of payments to vendors in the normal course of business. The decrease in accrued payroll and related costs for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 used $1.6 million in cash as compared to providing $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The primary reasons for the decrease in accrued payroll and related costs during the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 were the payment of fiscal 2014 bonuses subsequent to year end and the timing of biweekly payrolls.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $0.6 million for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to $0.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company continued to invest in its internal information technology infrastructure during the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015, including $0.2 in a new project management software platform, initially for its Canadian Engineering division. The initial implementation is anticipated to be substantially complete and operational by the end of the Company’s second quarter and the total cost for the first phase is expected to be as much as $1.0 million, inclusive of amounts already spent. The Company anticipates that it will extend this new project management software platform to its United States Engineering divisions and possibly its Information Technology segment, starting as early as the Company’s second quarter and costing as much as an additional $0.5 million. The Company utilizes SAP software for its financial reporting and accounting system which was implemented in 1999 and has not undergone significant upgrades since its initial implementation. The Company believes that it will become necessary to upgrade or replace its SAP financial reporting and accounting system, perhaps as early as the second half of fiscal 2015 but more likely some time in fiscal 2016. The Company estimates this upgrade or replacement of SAP will cost somewhere between $1.0 million and $2.0 million. These estimates are subject to change.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $0.1 million of cash for the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015 as compared to using $0.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The Company generated $0.2 million in both the current and comparable prior year periods from sales of shares from its equity plans. The Company paid contingent payments of $0.1 million and $0.3 million to the former principles of BGA during the current year and comparable prior year periods, respectively.

As of April 4, 2015, $0.2 million of the $0.5 million (on the Consolidated Balance Sheet) of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries, with a negligible amount of this portion held in U.S. dollars and the balance held in Canadian dollars.

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. The Company has acquired numerous companies throughout its history and those acquisitions have generally included significant future contingent consideration. 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 purchased and began implementing a new project management software platform in early 2015, initially for its Canadian Engineering division. The initial implementation is anticipated to be substantially complete and operational by the end of the Company’s second quarter and the total cost for the first phase is expected to be as much as $1.0 million. The Company anticipates that it will extend this new project management software platform to its United States Engineering divisions and possibly its Information Technology segment starting as early as the Company’s second quarter and costing as much as an additional $0.5 million. The Company utilizes SAP software for its financial reporting and accounting system which was implemented in 1999 and has not undergone significant upgrades since its initial implementation. The Company believes that it will become necessary to upgrade or replace its SAP financial reporting and accounting system, perhaps as early as the second half of fiscal 2015 but more likely some time in fiscal 2016. The Company estimates this upgrade or replacement of SAP will cost somewhere between $1.0 million and $2.0 million. These estimates are subject to change.

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 for at least the next 12 months.

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):

2018	1,579
2019	670
Thereafter	265
Total	$9,500

Future Contingent Payments

As of April 4, 2015, the Company had two active acquisition agreements whereby additional contingent consideration may be earned by the acquired entities: 1) effective July 1, 2012 the Company acquired certain assets of BGA, LLC (“BGA”); and 2) effective August 1, 2014 the Company acquired all of the stock of Point Comm, Inc. (“PCI”). The Company cannot estimate future contingent payments with any certainty. However, the Company estimates future contingent payments at April 4, 2015 as follows:

Period Ending	BGA	PCI	Total
January 2, 2016	$127	$262	$389
December 31, 2016	271	197	468

Estimated future contingent consideration payments	$398	$766	$1,164

ITEM 3.

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 April 4, 2015, 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. Based on the Company’s variable-rate line of credit balances during the thirteen week period ended April 4, 2015, if the interest rate on the Company’s variable-rate line of credit (using an incremental borrowing rate) during the period had been 1.0% higher, the Company’s interest rate for the period would have increased by $0.2 million. The Company does not expect any material loss with respect to its investment portfolio.

ITEM 4.

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.

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.
