ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentages of total
revenues represented by selected items in the Company's statement
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993
TEMPORARY AND STAFF LEASING SERVICES REVENUES. Total
revenues increased $6,532,000 (31.8%) to $27,067,000 for the
first quarter of 1994, compared to the comparable period of the
prior year. The increase in total revenues was attributable to
growth in temporary service revenues and staff leasing services
revenues of $3,547,000 (43.2%) and $2,985,000 (24.2%),
respectively.
Approximately 55% of the increase in temporary services
revenues was due to the acquisition of two temporary services
businesses, and the balance to the Company's ongoing internal
sales program. The acquired companies had total revenues of
approximately $25,000,000 during 1993.
The increase in staff leasing services revenues in the first
quarter of 1994, compared to 1993, is primarily attributable to
the addition of new clients in Oregon. The company markets its
staff leasing services through its Oregon and Maryland branches
using its branch office sales staff. The Company also obtains
- 9 -
referrals from existing clients and other third parties, and
places advertisements in the Yellow Pages.
PAYROLL COSTS, PAYROLL TAXES, AND BENEFITS. Payroll costs,
payroll taxes, and benefits for the Company's temporary services
and staff leasing services employees increased by $5,438,000
(31.0%) in the first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period
in 1993, primarily as a result of growth in the number of
employees. As a percentage of revenues, such costs decreased
from 85.3% in the first quarter of 1993 to 84.8% in the 1993
period, reflecting a decrease in the Company's statutory payroll
taxes for 1994.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND SAFETY INCENTIVES EXPENSE. The
Company has been a self-insured employer for workers'
compensation coverage in Oregon since August 1987 and became
self-insured in Maryland in November 1993. Workers' compensation
expense currently includes the cost of self-insurance for the
Company's employees in Oregon and Maryland, and third party
insurance coverage for such employees in California and
Washington. As a percentage of revenues, workers' compensation
expense decreased from 4.1% in 1993 to 3.3% in 1994, due
primarily to better performance of the Company's self-insured
workers' compensation program in the first quarter of 1994
compared to the same period in 1993. The Company's self-insured
workers' compensation expense is tied directly to the incidents
and severity of workplace injuries to its employees. Significant
elements affecting the performance of the self-insured workers'
compensation program include the regulatory climate surrounding
workers' compensation, the Company's workplace safety program,
and the claims management efforts of the Company and its third
party administrators.
In April 1994 the Company incurred a self-insured workers'
compensation fatality claim in Oregon. The estimated present
value of the future benefits payable to the beneficiary of the
fatally injured employee is expected to be at least $350,000.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling,
general and administrative expenses (including the provision for
doubtful accounts and the amortization of intangibles) primarily
consists of compensation and other expenses incident to the
operation of the Company's headquarters and branch offices in
marketing of its services. As a percentage of total revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 7.3%
during 1993 to 7.6% during 1994, due primarily to the shift of
the Company's business toward temporary services through the
acquisition of two temporary services businesses. Temporary
services have higher overhead requirements as compared to staff
leasing services.
- 10 -
PROVISION AND PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The
Company was exempt from taxation as an S corporation until its S
corporation election was terminated on April 30, 1993. The pro
forma effective tax rate of 39.0% is effective tax rate that
would have been recorded if the Company had been a C corporation
for the first quarter of 1993. The effective tax rate for the
first quarter of 1994 was 37.9%.
SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS
The Company's revenues historically have been subject to
some seasonal fluctuation, particularly in its temporary services
business. Demand for the Company's temporary employees and its
payroll requirements (and associated mark-ups) for certain of its
staff leasing clients decline during the year-end holiday season
and periods of bad weather. Correspondingly, demand for
temporary services and the operations of some staff leasing
clients, particularly agricultural and forest products-based
companies, increase during the second and third quarters. Since
1990, staff leasing revenues have represented a significant
portion of total revenues and this has diminished the effect of
seasonal fluctuations since staff leasing clients are engaged in
a wide range of industries with varying seasonal demands.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations and met its
liquidity needs primarily from cash flow from operations of
$2,233,000 and $715,000 during the first three months of 1994 and
1993, respectively. The principal uses of funds during 1994 was
for the acquisition of two temporary services businesses and the
repayment of a note payable, in the amount of $103,000, to the
estate of the former majority stockholder.
In February 1994, the Company acquired the assets of
Personnel Management and Consulting, Inc. ("PMC"), a Maryland
corporation, for $270,000, of which $42,000 was paid in cash and
$228,000 was paid in the form of 12,000 shares of common stock in
the Company. PMC had unaudited revenues of approximately
$800,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993, primarily from
sales of temporary services provided through three branch
offices, one in each of Salisbury and Easton, Maryland; and
Seaford, Delaware.
In March 1994, the Company acquired the assets of Golden
West Temporary Services ("Golden West"), a California
corporation, for $4,514,000 in cash from working capital. Golden
West had total revenues of $24,533,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993, from the sales of temporary services provided
through four branch offices, one in each of San Jose, Santa
Clara, Mountain View and Fremont, California.
- 11 -
The Company has an unsecured bank line of credit for a
maximum amount of $2,000,000, expiring subject to renewal on May
31, 1994. Outstanding balances against the line of credit accrue
interest at the bank's prime rate. The highest borrowing against
the line during 1994 and 1993 was $60,158 and $1,189,000,
respectively. The average balance outstanding against the line
for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $668, compared to
$5,444 during 1993. There was a zero balance outstanding under
the credit line at March 31, 1994, and 1993. The line of credit
agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions that were
amended on March 29, 1994. Under the amended agreement, the
Company is required to maintain (i) a ratio of total liabilities
to tangible net worth of not more than 2.0 to 1.0, (ii) positive
quarterly net income before taxes, (iii) tangible net worth of at
least $6,000,000, and (iv) a zero outstanding balance against the
line for a minimum of sixty (60) consecutive days during each
year. The Company is also prohibited from pledging any of its
assets other than existing mortgages on its real property.
The Company hopes to expand its self-insured workers'
compensation and staff leasing program to Washington during the
second quarter of 1994 and to California before the end of 1994.
If self-insured status is obtained, the required surety deposits
for these two states are expected to total at least $2,500,000 to
be paid from cash or other funding sources, potentially including
letters of credit from the Company's lender and surety bonds from
providers of third party insurance.
A key part of the Company's business strategy is continued
growth through the expansion of operations at existing offices
and the acquisition of additional personnel related businesses,
both in its existing markets and other geographic areas. The
Company actively explores proposals for various acquisition
opportunities on an ongoing basis, but there can be no assurance
that any additional transactions will be consummated. The
Company believes that available credit lines, other sources of
financing, and anticipated funds to be generated from operations
will be sufficient in the aggregate to provide funds for
expansion and its working capital needs for the foreseeable
future.
INFLATION
Inflation generally has not been a significant factor in the
Company's operations during the periods discussed above. The
Company has taken into account the impact of escalating medical
and other costs in establishing reserves for future expenses for
self-insured workers' compensation claims in Oregon and Maryland.
