Annex A (pursuant to Part IV, Question 3)
 
The following discussion of changes in results of operations from the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to the quarter ended June 30, 2009 describes certain of the significant changes in the results of operations of Accountabilities, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” “our” or “us”) that are expected to be reflected in the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Because disclosure regarding the Company’s discontinued operations have not been finalized, please note that the disclosure below may be materially revised:
 
Revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, revenue decreased $2,322,000, or 15%, to $12,858,000, as compared to $15,180,000 for the same period of the prior year.  This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue of $1,145,000, $483,000 and $497,000 from the Staffing Abilities service offering businesses acquired in the Stratus, US Temps and ReStaff acquisitions, respectively, as well as a decline in our Direct Professional Services offering of $953,000 associated with a single office in Connecticut which focuses on the provision of temporary engineers.  These declines were due to a combination of the loss of accounts and lower billings for several larger customers in our light industrial and engineering service offerings that were not fully offset by the acquisition of new accounts or existing account increases and are also consistent with significant declines industry wide.   The revenue decreases were partially offset by increased revenue of $767,000 from our new Staffing Abilities offices in California and Virginia, established in April 2008 and November 2008, respectively.

Direct cost of services

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, direct cost of services decreased by $1,967,000 or 15% to $11,192,000, as compared to $13,159,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease is consistent with the decline in revenue during the period.

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, gross profit decreased $355,000, or 18%, to $1,666,000, as compared to $2,021,000 for the same period in the prior year.  As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased to 13.0% compared to 13.3% for the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the weakening demand for temporary services industry wide, coupled with greater competition for existing customer accounts without the ability to offset these pricing decreases with lower labor costs in a sufficiently timely manner.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $126,000, or 7%, to $1,631,000, as compared to $1,757,000 in the same period of the prior year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses include non-cash charges for stock based compensation expense of $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with $41,000 in the same period of the prior year.  The decrease also reflects cost reductions in several administrative functions including accounting, information technology and risk management.  As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 11.6% during the same period in the prior year.

 
 

 

Depreciation and amortization

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, depreciation and amortization decreased $17,000, or 15%, to $99,000, as compared to $116,000 in the same period in the prior year.  The decrease is attributable to lower amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets acquired in the Stratus Acquisition as a result of the reduction in the value of the asset recorded on November 28, 2008.

(Loss) income from operations

As a result of the above, loss from operations was ($64,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to income from operations of $148,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense

Interest expense includes the net discounts associated with the sales of accounts receivable, as well as interest on debt associated with acquired companies and financing our operations. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $86,000, which represents a 40% decrease from interest expense of $144,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease is attributable to a reduction in the amount of debt outstanding that occurred during fiscal 2008 through restructuring outstanding debt, conversion of debt to restricted shares of common stock and repayments of principal.  In addition, the reduction in the federal prime lending rate from the same period of the prior year, resulted in lowered interest expense on our sold outstanding accounts receivable.

(Loss) income from continuing operations

The factors described above resulted in a loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of ($150,000) as compared to income from continuing operations of $4,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations reported during the three months ended June 30, 2009 includes the settlement of outstanding commissions payable of $204,000 due to CPA Partner on Premise clients for $121,000, resulting in a gain of $83,000, which was partially offset by losses from operations of $8,000.

Net (loss) income

The factors described above resulted in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of ($75,000), as compared to net income of $5,000 during the same period of the prior year.
