NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Staffing 360,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2009, as Golden Fork Corporation, which changed its name to Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., ticker symbol “STAF,” on March 16, 2012. On June 15, 2017, the Company changed its state of domicile to Delaware. We are a rapidly growing public company in the international staffing sector. Our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring, suitable, mature, profitable, operating, domestic and international staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is focused specifically on the accounting and finance, information technology (“IT”), engineering, administration (“Professional”) and light industrial (“Commercial”) disciplines.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), expressed in U.S. dollars.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019 which are included in the Company’s December 28, 2019 Form 10-K (“Fiscal 2019”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2020. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended September 26, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year end. This report is for the period June 28, 2020 to September 26, 2020 (“Q3 2020”), December 29, 2019 to September 26, 2020 (“Q3 2020 YTD”), June 30, 2019 to September 28, 2019 (“Q3 2019”) and December 30, 2018 to September 28, 2019 (“Q3 2019 YTD”). The Company uses a 4-4-5 calendar month which only has 364 days and as such an extra week would need to be added every few years. In October of 2020, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved the addition of this extra week to this year’s fiscal year end resulting in the year ending on January 2, 2021.

Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the quarter ended September 26, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $89,938 and a working capital deficit of $16,440. At September 26, 2020, we had total debt of $57,253 and $7,370 of cash on hand. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, term loans, promissory notes, convertible notes, private placement offerings and sales of equity. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities and debt repayments

The financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity, capital requirements and that our credit facilities with our lenders will remain available to us.

On October 26, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”) and a Second Amended and Restated 12% Senior Secured Note due September 30, 2022, or the Jackson Note, with Jackson Investment Group (“Jackson”), which amended and restated our Existing Note Purchase Agreement, as amended. The Amended Note Purchase Agreement refinanced an aggregate of $35.7 million of debt provided by Jackson pursuant to the Existing

STAFFING 360 SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All amounts in thousands, except share, per share and stated value per share)

(UNAUDITED)

Note Purchase Agreement and the Existing Jackson Notes. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Notes shall be due and payable on September 30, 2022. For more information, see Note 13.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement includes certain financial customary covenants and the Company has had in prior periods had instances of non-compliance. As of September 26, 2020, any non-compliance of the covenants were waived with the refinancing. Management has historically been able to obtain from Jackson waivers of any non-compliance however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers, and should Jackson refuse to provide a waiver in the future, the outstanding debt under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement could become due immediately, which exceeds our current cash balance.

During Q3 2020 and on October 26, 2020, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company entered into amendments to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2015, as amended (the “Credit and Security Agreement”), with MidCap Funding X Trust, as successor-by-assignment to MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”) to extend the maturity date of the facility from August 8, 2020 to September 1, 2022. For more information, see Note 13.

As discussed further below under COVID-19, during the second quarter of 2020 the Company received funds under the Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) amounting to $19,395. While such amounts could be forgiven under the terms of the PPP, there can be no assurance that forgiveness will be granted. As of September 26, 2020, the short-term balance of amounts due under the PPP loan exceed our current cash balance.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company’s debt obligations and certain unsecured payments associated with historical acquisitions are due in the next 12 months, and the Company’s debt obligations with Jackson and MidCap may become due on demand due to certain covenant violations discussed above, which are in excess of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Historically, the Company has funded such payments either through cash flow from operations or the raising of capital through additional debt or equity. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such payments may not be made on time.

The Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), is impacting worldwide economic activity, and activity in the United States and the United Kingdom where the Company’s operations are based. The nature of work of the contractors the Company supports mostly are on the site of the Company’s clients. As a result, the Company is subject to the plans and approaches of the Company’s clients to work during this period. This includes whether they support remote working when they have decided to close their facilities. To the extent that the Company’s clients have decided to or are required to close their facilities or not permit remote work when they decide to close facilities, the Company would no longer generate revenue and profit from that client. In addition, in the event that the Company’s clients’ businesses suffer or close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may experience decline in its revenue or write-off of receivables from such clients. During the quarter ended September 26, 2020, the Company recognized a write-off of receivables amounting to approximately $900 as a result of a customer’s business closure. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted the Company’s ability to deploy its staffing workforce effectively thereby impacting contracts with customers in the Company’s Commercial Staffing and Professional Staffing business streams where the Company has seen declines of approximately 17% in revenues during the third quarter of 2020 as compared with the first quarter of 2020; however, compared to the second quarter of 2020, the Company has seen 12% increases in revenues. Compared to Q3 2019 YTD, the Company has seen declines of approximately 30% in revenues during Q3 2020 YTD. Such government-imposed precautionary measures may have been relaxed in certain countries or states, but there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. Therefore, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect the Company’s operation and to disrupt the marketplace in which the Company operates and may negatively impact its sales in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity. These factors combined with the uncertainty generated by the economic reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Divesture of Business

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC d/b/a firstPRO, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Seller”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with FirstPro Recruitment, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Seller sold to the Buyer substantially all of the Seller’s assets used in or related to the operation or conduct of its professional staffing and recruiting business in Georgia (the “Assets,” and such sale, the “FirstPro Transaction”). The Buyer is a former employee of Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC d/b/a firstPRO.

(All amounts in thousands, except share, per share and stated value per share)

(UNAUDITED)

In addition, the Buyer has agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the Assets. The purchase price in connection with the FirstPro Transaction was $3,300, of which (a) $1,220 was paid at closing (the “Initial Payment”) and (b) $2,080 was held in a separate escrow account (the “Escrow Funds”), which will be released upon receipt of the forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loan by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). In the event that all or any portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven by the SBA, all or portion of the Escrow Funds will be used to repay any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan in full. The FirstPro Transaction closed on September 24, 2020. In September, the Company submitted the PPP Loan forgiveness applications to the SBA. As of the date of this quarterly report, the PPP Loans have not been approved for forgiveness, and there is no guarantee that all or portion of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. The consideration of $3,300 is presented as restricted cash in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2020 due to the escrow arrangement and restrictions set forth by Jackson.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions customary for agreements of this type. In addition, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Buyer against certain liabilities, subject to certain conditions and limitations as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

In connection with execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Consent Agreement (the “Consent”) with Jackson, a noteholder under the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Consent and the Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), in consideration for Jackson’s consent to the FirstPro Transaction, the Initial Payment was used to redeem a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock subsequent to September 26, 2020, and the Escrow Funds, subject to the forgiveness of the PPP Loan discussed above, will be used to redeem a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock. On September 28, 2020, the Company redeemed 1,300 shares of Base E Series E Preferred Stock for $1,300, as such there is currently 11,700 shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock outstanding.

To induce the Buyer to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement with the Buyer, pursuant to which each party will provide certain transition services such as payrolling through to year end 2020 to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the Seller and the Buyer arising from the FirstPro Transaction.

COVID-19

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this quarterly report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted the Company’s ability to generate revenues. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the global responses to curb its spread and to treat its impact, the Company has seen a reduction in sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; however the Company continues to take action to reduce the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations through various cost cutting initiatives including reductions to support personnel, temporary salary reductions, and elimination of other non-essential spend. Should the impact from the pandemic go on for an extended period of time, management has developed further plans to partially mitigate the impact of the pandemic.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19.

On May 12, 2020, Monroe Staffing Services, LLC (“Monroe Staffing”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a note (the “May 12 Note”) with Newton Federal Bank (the “Bank”), pursuant to the PPP of the CARES Act administered by the SBA. The principal amount of the May 12 Note is $10,000.

In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company and Monroe Staffing (collectively, the “May 12 Note Borrowers”) used the proceeds from the May 12 Note in accordance with the requirements of the PPP to cover certain qualified expenses, including payroll costs, rent and utility costs. The May 12 Note Borrowers used the entire proceeds under the May 12 Note for such qualifying expenses. Interest accrues on the May 12 Note at the rate of 1.00% per annum. In September 2020, the May 12

STAFFING 360 SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED)

Note Borrowers applied for forgiveness of the amount due under the May 12 Note, in an amount equal to $10,000. As the date of this quarterly report, the May 12 Note has not been approved for forgiveness, and there is no guarantee that all or portion of the May 12 Note will be forgiven.

Subject to any forgiveness under the PPP, the May 12 Note matures two years following the date of issuance of the May 12 Note and includes a period for the first six months during which time required payments of interest and principal are deferred. Beginning on the seventh month following the date of the May 12 Note, the May 12 Note Borrowers are required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The May 12 Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity. The May 12 Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to breaches of obligations under the May 12 Note, including a failure to make payments, any bankruptcy or similar proceedings involving the May 12 Note Borrowers, and certain material effects on the May 12 Note Borrowers’ ability to repay the May 12 Note. The May 12 Note Borrowers did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the May 12 Note.

On May 20, 2020, Key Resources Inc. (“KRI”), Lighthouse Placement Services, LLC (“LH”) and Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC (“SG”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into the following notes, each dated May 20, 2020, with the Bank, pursuant to the PPP of the CARES Act administered by the SBA. KRI entered into a note (the “KRI Note”) for the principal amount of approximately $5,443, LH entered into a note (the “LH Note”) for the principal amount of approximately $1,890, and SG entered into a note (the “SG Note,” and, together with the KRI Note and LH Note, the “May 20 Notes”) for the principal amount of approximately $2,062. The combined total of the May 20 Notes is approximately $9,395.

In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company, KRI, LH and SG (collectively, the “May 20 Note Borrowers”) intends to use the proceeds from the May 20 Notes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP to cover certain qualified expenses, including payroll costs, rent and utility costs. Interest accrues on each of the May 20 Notes at the rate of 1.00% per annum. The May 20 Note Borrowers may apply for forgiveness of the amount $9,395 due under the May 20 Notes, in an amount equal to the sum of qualified expenses under the PPP. The May 20 Note Borrowers intend to use the entire proceeds under the May 20 Notes for such qualifying expenses. As the date of this quarterly report, the May 20 Note has not been approved for forgiveness, and there is no guarantee that all or portion of the May 20 Note will be forgiven. In the event that all or any portion of the May 20 Note is not forgiven by the SBA, all or portion of the Escrow Funds will be used to repay any unforgiven portion of the SG Note in full. For more information on the Escrow Funds, see “—Divestiture of Business” herein.

Subject to any forgiveness under the PPP, each of the May 20 Notes mature two years following the date of issuance of the May 20 Notes and include a period for the first six months during which time required payments of interest and principal are deferred. Beginning on the seventh month following the date of each of the May 20 Notes, the May 20 Note Borrowers are required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The May 20 Notes may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity. The May 20 Notes provide for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to breaches of obligations under the May 20 Notes, including a failure to make payments, any bankruptcy or similar proceedings involving the Borrowers, and certain material effects on the Borrowers’ ability to repay the May 20 Notes. The May 20 Note Borrowers did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the May 20 Notes.

Based upon these payment terms the Company has recognized $10,775 of the PPP Loan as a short-term obligation and $8,620 as long term.

The application for these funds required the Company to certify in good faith that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account the Company’s current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The Company made this good faith assertion based upon the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company’s business and the degree of uncertainty introduced to the capital markets. While the Company has made this assertion in good faith based upon all available guidance, management will continue to assess their continued qualification if and when updated guidance is released by the Treasury Department.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the eight-week period beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount

(UNAUDITED)

may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. The ultimate forgiveness of the PPP loan is also predicated upon regulatory authorities concurring with management’s good faith assessment that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support ongoing operations. If, despite the Company’s good-faith belief that given the circumstances the Company satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP Loan, the Company is later determined to have violated any applicable laws or regulations or it is otherwise determined that the Company was ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, the Company may be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety and/or be subject to additional penalties. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. The Company has applied for loan forgiveness and waiting for notification from the SBA.

Effective March 27, 2020, the Company is deferring Federal Insurance Contributions Act taxes under the CARES Act section 2302. Payment of these tax deferrals are delayed to December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with various acquisitions and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable intangible and tangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to periodic review for impairment. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, a decline in the equity value of the business, a significant adverse change in certain agreements that would materially affect reported operating results, business climate or operational performance of the business and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.

In accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment, or ASU 2011-08, the Company is required to review goodwill by reporting unit for impairment at least annually or more often if there are indicators of impairment present. A reporting unit is either the equivalent of, or one level below, an operating segment. The Company early adopted the provisions in ASU 2017-04, which eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the Company's goodwill impairment tests include only one step, which is a comparison of the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value, and any excess carrying value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, is impaired.

The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assignment of the appropriate assets and liabilities to each reporting unit. Assets and liabilities were assigned to each reporting unit if the assets or liabilities are employed in the operations of the reporting unit and the asset and liability is considered in the determination of the reporting unit fair value.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing as of September 29, 2019 and no impairment was recognized. In Q1 and Q3 2020, the Company determined that the COVID-19 outbreak is, and is continued impact on certain reporting units was a triggering event due to its this could impact on industry and market conditions, have negative effect on earnings and cash flows, and overall financial performance. The Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples) and income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) to derive the fair value of the reporting unit when performing its impairment testing. Volatility in the Company’s stock price can result in the net book value of the Company’s reporting units approximating, or even temporarily exceeding market capitalization, however, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units is driven solely by the market price of the Company’s common stock. As described above, fair value of the Company’s reporting units is derived using a combination of an asset approach, an income approach and a market approach. These valuation techniques consider several other factors beyond our market capitalization, such as the estimated future cash flows of our reporting units, the discount rate used to present value such cash flows and the market multiples of comparable companies. Changes to input assumptions used in the analysis could result in materially different evaluations of goodwill impairment.

The Company recognized an impairment with respect to its FirstPro reporting unit of $2,969 during the quarter ended March 28, 2020. The impairment resulted from a continued decline in that reporting unit’s revenue which experienced significant and prolonged declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To determine the impairment, the Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples), income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) and prevailing market conditions to derive the fair value of the reporting unit. Under ASU 2017-04, which the Company early adopted, the impairment amount represents the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit.

In Q3 2020, the Company determined that the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is a triggering event for certain reporting units. The Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples) and income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.

STAFFING 360 SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(All amounts in thousands, except share, per share and stated value per share)

(UNAUDITED)

No impairments to goodwill were recognized during the quarter ended September 26, 2020, however, in the case of one reporting unit, the fair value exceeded the carrying value by a minimal percentage. This reporting unit has goodwill of $14.2 million and an estimated fair value that exceeds its carrying value by 2.4%. Goodwill for this reporting units should be considered at risk given the approximation of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. In the assumptions utilized by management, declines to revenue are expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2020 and then improve in future years with modest growth rates. Management has made assumptions regarding partial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022. The assumed discount rate utilized in the income approach model was considered to be commensurate with the estimation uncertainty for this reporting unit. If the assumptions utilized by management are not achieved and declines to operations are greater than anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020 while failing to achieve growth in future periods as a result of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 pandemic an impairment to goodwill could be recorded and such amount could be material to the financial statements. A reduction in the projected long-term operating performance of this reporting unit, market declines, changes in discount rates or other conditions could result in a material impairment in the future.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenues from Contracts with Customers”, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms and services offered vary by client.

The Company has primarily two main forms of revenue – temporary contractor revenue and permanent placement revenue. Temporary contractor revenue is accounted for as a single performance obligation satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance on time based basis. The contracts stipulate weekly or monthly billing and the Company recognizes revenue when the performance is completed, based on the time incurred at the contractual rate as we have the right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance completed to date. Permanent placement revenue is recognized on the date the candidate’s full-time employment with the customer has commenced. The customer is invoiced on the start date, and the contract stipulates payment due under varying terms, typically 30 days. The contract with the customer may stipulate a guarantee period whereby the customer may be refunded if the employee is terminated within a short period of time, however this has historically been infrequent, and immaterial upon occurrence. As such, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon commencement of the employment, at which point control has transferred to the customer. Revenues in Q3 2020 was comprised of $47,177 of temporary contractor revenue and $1,463 of permanent placement revenues compared with $63,821 and $3,499 for Q3 2019 of temporary contractor revenue and permanent placement revenues, respectively. Revenue in Q3 2020 YTD was comprised of $145,150 of temporary contractor revenue and $5,543 of permanent placement revenue, compared with $205,809 and $8,835 for Q3 2019 YTD, respectively. Refer to Note 10 for further details on breakdown by segments.

Reclassifications

We may make certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.

The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes, and tax audit settlements. The effective income tax

rate was (4.28)%, 2.60%, (1.81)% and (11.16)% for the period ending Q3 2020, Q3 2019, Q3 2020 YTD and Q3 2019 YTD, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The Company recorded a non-cash foreign currency remeasurement gain (loss) of $442, $(467), $(348) and $(484) in Q3 2020, Q3 2019, Q3 2020 YTD and Q3 2019 YTD, respectively, associated with its U.S dollar denominated intercompany note.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 31, 2019, the FASB issued ASC 2019-12 “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the certain exceptions. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for (1) public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of losses. This model replaces multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP, which generally requires a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including the interim periods in the year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective.

NOTE 3 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company utilizes the guidance per ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income/loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during each period. Our Series A, Series E and Series E-1 Preferred Stockholders (related parties) receive certain dividends or dividend equivalents that are considered participating securities and our loss per share is computed using the two-class method. For Q3 2020, Q3 2019, Q3 2020 YTD and Q3 2019 YTD, pursuant to the two-class method, as a result of the net loss attributable to common stockholders, losses were not allocated to the participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common stock shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes, unvested equity awards and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified treasury stock method). Such securities, shown below, presented on a common stock equivalent basis and outstanding as of September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019 have not been included in the diluted earnings per share computations, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss as of September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019:

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED FINANCING FACILITIES

HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd – Facility

On February 8, 2018, CBS Butler Holdings Limited (“CBS Butler”), Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and The JM Group, entered into an arrangement with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd (“HSBC”) which provides for HSBC to purchase the subsidiaries’ accounts receivable up to an aggregate amount of £11,500 across all three subsidiaries. The terms of the arrangement provide for HSBC to fund 90% of the purchased accounts receivable upfront and, a secured borrowing line of 70% of unbilled receivables capped at £1,000 (within the overall aggregate total facility of £11,500). The arrangement has an initial term of 12 months, with an automatic rolling three-month extension and carries a service charge of 1.80%.

On June 28, 2018, Clement May Limited (“CML”), the Company’s new subsidiary entered into an agreement with a minimum term of 12 months for purchase of debt (“APD”) with HSBC, joining CBS Butler, Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and The JM Group (collectively, with CML, the “Borrowers”) as “Connected Clients” as defined in the APD. The Connected Client APDs carry an aggregate facility limit of £20,000 across all Borrowers. The obligations of the Borrowers are secured by a fixed charge and a floating charge on the Borrowers’ respective accounts receivable and are subject to cross-company guarantees among the Borrowers. In addition, the secured borrowing line against unbilled receivables was increased to £1,500. In July 2019, the aggregate facility limit was extended to £22,500 across all Borrowers. The facility was reviewed on June 30, 2020 and extended for another 12 months.

Under ASU 2016-16, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), the upfront portion of the sale of accounts receivable is classified within operating activities, while the deferred purchase price portion (or beneficial interest), once collected, is classified within investing activities.

Midcap Funding Trust

On August 2, 2019, the Company amended the facility with Midcap to allow for additional borrowing against the unbilled receivables by $1,000 to a cap of $2,300 and extended the maturity of the facility to August 8, 2020. During Q3 2020 and on October 26, 2020, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company entered into amendments to the Credit and Security Agreement with MidCap to extend the maturity date of the facility from August 8, 2020 to September 1, 2022. In addition, the Company also agreed to certain amendments to the financial covenants.

As of September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 approximately $12,324 and $17,298 are outstanding under this facility, respectively.

Jackson Debt

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Fourth Omnibus Amendment and Reaffirmation Agreement with Jackson, as lender, which, among other things, amends the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to this Existing Note Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Jackson a 18% Senior Secured Note due December 31, 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,538. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this term note was due and payable monthly on the first day of each month, beginning on October 1, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of this term note, if this term note was not repaid by December 31, 2019, the Company was required to issue 100,000 shares of its common stock to Jackson on a monthly basis until this term note is fully repaid, subject to certain exceptions to comply with Nasdaq listing standards. The Company has booked additional

expense of $0 and $324 related to the issuances of 0 and 500,000 shares of common stock to Jackson for the period Q3 2020 and Q3 2020 YTD, respectively. The Company paid the $2,538 loan in full on May 28, 2020.

On October 26, 2020, the Company entered into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Jackson Note with Jackson, which amended and restated the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. The Amended Note Purchase Agreement refinances an aggregate of $35.7 million of debt provided by Jackson, extending the due and payable of this to September 30, 2022. In connection with the amendment and restatement, the Company paid Jackson an amendment fee of $488 in the fourth quarter.

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and Jackson Note, the Company is required to pay interest on the debt at a per annum rate of 12%. The interest is payable monthly in cash; provided that, the Company may elect to pay up to 50% of monthly interest in-kind (“PIK Interest”) by adding such PIK Interest to the outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note. For any month that the Company elects to pay interest in-kind, the Company is required to pay Jackson a fee in shares of our common stock (“PIK Fee Shares”) in an amount equal to $25 divided by the average closing price, as reported by Nasdaq, of such shares of common stock over the 5 trading days prior to the applicable monthly interest payment date. If such average market price is less than $0.50, or is otherwise undeterminable because such shares of common stock are no longer publicly traded or the closing price is no longer reported by Nasdaq, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $0.50, and if such average closing price is greater than $3.50, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $3.50. For the period of November 2020 through and including March 2021, each monthly interest due and payable shall be reduced by $166, and for the period commencing May 2021 through and including September 2021, each monthly interest due and payable shall be increased by $166.

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to make a mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Jackson Note of not less than $3,000 no later January 31, 2021. This amount has been reflected as a current liability as of the quarter ended September 26, 2020. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note shall be due and payable on September 30, 2022. The debt continues to be secured by substantially of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement with Jackson, dated September 15, 2017.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement includes certain financial customary covenants, including a leverage ratio covenant. As of September 26, 2020, any non-compliance of the covenants was waived with the refinancing in October 2020. For more information, see Note 13.

The Company has presented the Jackson term note refinanced in October 2020 within long term liabilities in accordance with ASC 470 which provides that the short term obligation as of September 26, 2020 can be excluded from current liabilities as the Company has demonstrated the ability to refinance the short term obligation on a long term basis by virtue of the October 26, 2020 debt amendment.

HSBC Loan

On April 20, 2020, the terms of the loan with HSBC was amended whereby no capital repayments will be made between April 2020 to September 2020, and only interest payments will be made during this time. On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into a 3 year term loan with HSBC in the UK for £1,000.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach allowed under ASU 2018-11 which releases companies from presenting comparative periods and related disclosures under ASC 842 and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. As of September 26, 2020, as a result of the adoption of ASC 842, we have recorded a right of use (“ROU”) lease asset of approximately $3,310 with a corresponding lease liability of approximately $3,341 based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases. The Company’s finance leases are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.

Series E Preferred Stock - Related Party

The Series E Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock and any other series or classes of preferred stock now or after issued or outstanding with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock was initially convertible into 561.8 shares of our common stock at any time after October 31, 2020 or the occurrence of a Preferred Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation for Series E Preferred Stock, as amended). A holder of Series E Preferred Stock is not required to pay any additional consideration in exchange for conversion of such Series E Preferred Stock into our common stock. Series E Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company at any time at a price per share equal to the stated value ($1,000 per share) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. While the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company is required to use the proceeds of any sales of equity securities, exclusively to redeem any outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, except that the Company was permitted to use up to an aggregate of $3,000 of the gross proceeds from any equity offering completed on or before November 15, 2019 for working capital purposes.

On January 22, 2019, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 387,500 shares of common stock that generated $775 in gross proceeds that were used for working capital purposes. On February 12, 2019, the Company closed its previously announced firm commitment underwritten public offering in which, pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and the underwriter, dated as of February 8, 2019, the Company issued and sold 2,425,000 shares of its common stock, at a public offering price of $1.65 per share.

Instead, the Company used such excess proceeds to make a terminal payment to the sellers of FirstPro. in final settlement of all deferred consideration due under our asset purchase agreement with such sellers.

As of September 26, 2020, 7,303,371 shares and 734,337 shares of common stock were issuable upon the potential conversion of Series E Preferred Stock and Series E-1 Preferred Stock, respectively.

If such average market price is less than $0.50, or is otherwise undeterminable because such shares are no longer publicly traded or the closing price is no longer reported by Nasdaq, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $0.50, and if such average closing price is greater than $3.50 then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $3.50. Dividends on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock may only be paid in cash. If the Company fails to make dividend payments on the Series E Preferred Stock, it will be an event of default under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Earn-out Liabilities and Stock Value Guarantees

Pursuant to the acquisition of CBS Butler on September 15, 2017, the purchase price includes an earn-out payment of up to £4,214 (payable in December 2018, based upon CBS Butler’s operating performance during the period September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018) and deferred consideration of £150 less the aggregate amount of any net asset shortfall amount, if any, as determined pursuant to the acquisition agreements for the acquisition of CBS Butler. In September 2018, the Company paid the deferred consideration of £150 ($195).

While the Company had recognized the liability for the contingent earn-out due the sellers of CBS Butler within current liabilities as of December 29, 2018, in March 2019 the Company filed a warranty claim against the sellers asserting certain misrepresentations for an amount which approximates the contingent earn-out. In April 2019, the sellers of CBS Butler responded denying the Company’s warranty claim and asserting that the earn-out amount is due. On July 5, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the selling shareholders of CBS Butler for the full and final satisfaction of claims in exchange for a payment of approximately £2,150 by the Company to the CBS Butler shareholders. The payment was due no later than July 26, 2019. The Company did not make the payment on July 26, 2019, as such the parties agreed to adjust the amount payable to £2,500. The Company paid this in full on August 30, 2019 and recorded a gain of approximately £894 ($1,077) on final settlement. The Company used the proceeds from the term note entered into with Jackson on August 29, 2019 for $2,538, to satisfy this obligation.

Pursuant to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of FirstPro Inc. by Staffing 360 Georgia LLC on September 15, 2017, the purchase price included deferred quarterly installments of $75 beginning on October 1, 2017, and $2,675 was payable annually in three equal installments beginning on September 15, 2018. The Company made $300 and $892 in quarterly installments and annual installment in Fiscal 2018. On March 1, 2019, the Company paid $1,125 in full satisfaction of the remaining liability, recognizing a gain of $847.

Pursuant to the acquisition of Clement May on June 28, 2018, the purchase price includes an earnout payment of up to £500 to be paid on or around December 28, 2019; and deferred consideration of £350, the amount to be calculated and paid pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, on or around June 28, 2019. The Company paid deferred consideration of £350 ($444) on June 26, 2019. The earnout payment of £500 ($656) was paid in December 2019.

Pursuant to the acquisition of KRI on August 27, 2018, the purchase price includes earnout consideration payable to the seller of $2,027 each on August 27, 2019 and August 27, 2020. The payment of the earnout consideration was contingent on KRI’s achievement of certain trailing gross profit amounts. On September 11, 2019, the Company entered into an amended agreement with the seller to delay the payment of the first year earnout of $2,027 until no later than February 27, 2020. For each full calendar month beyond August 27, 2019, that such payment is delayed, the Company is required pay the seller interest in the amount of $10 with the first such payment of interest due on September 30, 2019. In addition, the amended agreement was further amended to change the due date for the second year earnout payment of $2,027 from August 27, 2020 to February 27, 2020. The seller of KRI, Pamela D. Whitaker (“Whitaker”) has filed a lawsuit against the Company asserting claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against the Company due under a share purchase agreement and is seeking $4,054 in alleged damages. While the Company had recognized the liability for the earnout consideration of $4,054 due to Whitaker, within current liabilities as of September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, in February 2020, the Company filed an action against Whitaker for breach of contract which more than approximates the earnout consideration recognized. The Company paid interest of $40 during the period ended September 26, 2020. Refer to legal proceedings below for action filed against Whitaker, the former owner of KRI.

Defendants removed the action to the Middle District of North Carolina on January 7, 2020, and Plaintiff moved to remand on February 4, 2020. Briefing on the motion to remand concluded on February 24, 2020. Separately, Defendants moved to dismiss the action on January 14, 2020 based on Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim, improper venue, and lack of personal jurisdiction as to defendant Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. Alternatively, Defendants sought a transfer of the action to the Southern District of New York, based on the plain language of the Share Purchase Agreement’s forum selection clause. Briefing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss concluded on February 18, 2020. On February 28, 2020, Plaintiff moved for leave to file an amended complaint. Defendants filed their opposition to the motion for leave on March 19, 2020. Plaintiff has filed a reply.

On June 29, 2020, Magistrate Judge Webster issued a Report and Recommendation on the pending motions, recommending that Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted with regard to Defendants’ request to transfer the matter to the Southern District of New York, and denied in all other regards without prejudice to Defendants raising those arguments again in the new forum. Magistrate Judge Webster also recommended that Plaintiff’s motion to remand be denied and motion to amend be left to the discretion of the Southern District of New York.

Plaintiff filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation on July 9, 2020. Defendants responded on July 23, 2020. A decision regarding Plaintiff’s objection, and whether the District Court will accept Magistrate Judge Webster’s recommendations on the motions remains pending.

Separately, on February 26, 2020, the Company and Monroe filed an action against Whitaker in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:20-cv-01716) (the “New York Action”). The New York Action concerns claims for breach of contract and fraudulent inducement arising from various misrepresentations made by Whitaker to the Company and Monroe in advance of, and included in, the share purchase agreement. The Company and Monroe are seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial but in no event less than $6 million. On April 28, 2020, Whitaker filed a motion to dismiss the New York Action on both procedural and substantive grounds. On June 11, 2020, Monroe and the Company filed their opposition to Whitaker’s motion to dismiss. On July 9, 2020 Whitaker filed reply papers in further support of the motion. The parties await decision from the court on Whitaker’s motion.

On October 13, 2020, the Court denied Whitaker’s motion to dismiss, in part, and granted the motion, in part. The Court rejected Whitaker’s procedural arguments, but granted the motion on substantive grounds. However, the Court ordered that Monroe and the Company may seek leave to amend the complaint by letter application by December 1, 2020. Whitaker’s opposition, if any, will be due on January 5, 2021 and Monroe and the Company’s reply will be due on January 25, 2021.

The Company intends to vigorously contest Whitaker’s claims in the North Carolina Action and pursue its claims in the New York Action.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Note Purchase Agreement with Jackson Investment Group, LLC

On October 26, 2020, the Company entered into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Jackson Note, with Jackson, which amended and restated the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. The Amended Note Purchase Agreement refinanced an aggregate of $35.7 million of debt provided by Jackson pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and a Senior Secured 12% Promissory Note. In connection with the amendment and restatement, the Company paid Jackson an amendment fee of $488.

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and Jackson Note, the Company is required to pay interest on the Loan at a per annum rate of 12%. The interest is payable monthly in cash; provided that, the Company may elect to pay up to 50% of monthly interest in-kind by adding such PIK Interest to the outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note. For any month that the Company elects to pay interest in-kind, the Company is required to pay Jackson a fee in shares of its common stock in an amount equal to $25 divided by the average closing price, as reported by Nasdaq, of such shares of common stock over the 5 trading days prior to the applicable monthly interest payment date. If such average market price is less than $0.50, or is otherwise undeterminable because such shares of common stock are no longer publicly traded or the closing price is no longer reported by Nasdaq, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $0.50, and if such average closing price is greater than $3.50, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $3.50. For the period of November 2020 through and including March

(UNAUDITED)

2021, each monthly interest due and payable shall be reduced by $166, and for the period commencing May 2021 through and including September 2021, each monthly interest due and payable shall be increased by $166.

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to make a mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Jackson Note of not less than $3,000 no later January 31, 2021. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note shall be due and payable on September 30, 2022. The Loan continues to be secured by substantially of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement with Jackson, dated September 15, 2017.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default for a senior secured loan including, among other events of default, (i) failure to timely pay interest and principal, (ii) other breaches and violation of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, (iii) bankruptcy and insolvency events affecting us and/or subsidiaries and (iv) the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition to customary remedies for senior secured lenders following an event of default, Jackson shall have the right to cause us to engage a financial advisor to provide a valuation analyses of us as a going concern and analyses of strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. The Company is obligated to provide all such analyses to Jackson.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement also contains restrictions against incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) on any of the Company’s equity interest or repayment of debt, consolidations, mergers, sales of assets or change in control and financial covenants.

Amendment to Series E Preferred Stock and Series E-1 Preferred Stock

In connection with the entry into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, the Company also filed with the Amendment to the Series E Certificate of Designation. Under the amended terms, holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to monthly cash dividends on our Series E Preferred Stock at a per annum rate of 12%. At the Company’s option, up to 50% of the cash dividend on the Base Series E Preferred Stock may be paid as the PIK Dividend Payment, commencing on October 26, 2020 and ending on October 25, 2022. If the PIK Dividend Payment is elected, a holder of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to additional fee to be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock an amount equal to $10 divided by the average closing price, as reported by Nasdaq of such shares of common stock over the 5 trading days prior to the applicable monthly interest payment date. If such average market price is less than $0.50, or is otherwise undeterminable because such shares are no longer publicly traded or the closing price is no longer reported by Nasdaq, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $0.50, and if such average closing price is greater than $3.50 then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $3.50. Dividends on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock may only be paid in cash. If the Company fails to make dividend payments on its Series E Preferred Stock, it will be an event of default under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms of the Amendment, shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the liquidation value of each shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock divided by $1.00 per share commencing October 31, 2020. Each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. Shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock will be also convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock after October 31, 2022. The conversion rate for Base Series E Preferred Stock is equal to the liquidation value of each shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock divided by $1.00 per share. Each share of Base Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share.

Amendment to Warrant Agreement with Jackson

On October 26, 2020, in connection with the entry into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated April 25, 2018, as amended (the “Warrant”), with Jackson. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the exercise price of the Warrant was reduced from $1.66 per share to $1.00 per share and the term of the Warrant was extended to January 26, 2026.

Amendments to our Credit Agreement with MidCap Funding IV Trusts

2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On September 29, 2020, the Company held its 2020 virtual annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), pursuant to which we may grant equity incentive awards to our key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors. The 2020 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards, which may be granted singly or in combination, and that may be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock. A total of 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for grant under the 2020 Plan, plus any awards reserved under the Company’s prior equity incentive plans, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement. The 2020 Plan had been previously approved by the Board on June 30, 2020, subject to stockholder approval, and will terminate on June 30, 2030.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue, gross profit, operating profit, cash flow), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “intends,” “project,” “predict,” “plans,” “estimates,” “goal,” “target,” “possible,” “potential,” “would,” “seek,” and similar references to future periods. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the geographic, social and economic impact of COVID-19 on our ability to conduct business and raise capital in the future when needed; the termination of a major customer contract or project; our ability to achieve loan forgiveness under Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”); negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation; our ability to access the capital markets by pursuing additional debt and equity financing to fund our business plan and expenses on terms acceptable to us or at all; and our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including in respect of our debt; potential cost overruns and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods; weakness in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; weakness or volatility in the financial and capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our customers' capital projects or the inability of our customers to pay our fees; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our customers; competitive market pressures; the availability and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our temporary employees; our performance on customer contracts; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We recommend readers to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. As a rapidly growing public company in the international staffing sector, our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S. and U.K. based staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is focused specifically on the Professional Sector and Commercial Sector disciplines.

Recent Developments

NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Requirement

On September 24, 2020, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Listing Qualifications Department”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between August 12, 2020 through September 23, 2020, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 23, 2021 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

In order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event we do not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of our publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we meet these requirements, we may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to the Listing Qualifications Department that we will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, the Listing Qualifications Department will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting.

(All amounts in thousands, except share, par values and stated values)

The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of our common stock, which has continued and will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. Although we will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other listing criteria of the Nasdaq.

NASDAQ Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement

On June 3, 2020, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that we are no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. Further, as of June 9, 2020, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days, or until July 20, 2020, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. On September 9, 2020, based on our submission, the Listing Qualifications Department granted us an extension of time to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1), subject to our providing the Listing Qualifications Department with certain interim progress reports.

If we fail to evidence compliance upon filing our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, our common stock could be delisted. In such event, Nasdaq Listing Rules permit us to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules or maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

Note Purchase Agreement with Jackson Investment Group, LLC

On October 26, 2020, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”) and a Second Amended and Restated 12% Senior Secured Note due September 30, 2022, or the Jackson Note, with Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“Jackson”), which amended and restated our Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with Jackson dated September 15, 2017 (the “Existing Note Purchase Agreement”). The Amended Note Purchase Agreement refinanced an aggregate of $35.7 million of debt provided by Jackson pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and a Senior Secured 12% Promissory Note. In connection with the amendment and restatement, we paid Jackson an amendment fee of $488.

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and Jackson Note, we are required to pay interest on the Loan at a per annum rate of 12%. The interest is payable monthly in cash; provided that, we may elect to pay up to 50% of monthly interest in-kind (“PIK Interest”) by adding such PIK Interest to the outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note. For any month that we elect to pay interest in-kind, we are required to pay Jackson a fee in shares of our common stock (“PIK Fee Shares”) in an amount equal to $25 divided by the average closing price, as reported by Nasdaq, of such shares of common stock over the 5 trading days prior to the applicable monthly interest payment date. If such average market price is less than $0.50, or is otherwise undeterminable because such shares of common stock are no longer publicly traded or the closing price is no longer reported by Nasdaq, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $0.50, and if such average closing price is greater than $3.50, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $3.50. For the period of November 2020 through and including March 2021, each monthly interest payment shall be reduced by $166, and for the period commencing May 2021 through and including September 2021, each monthly interest payment shall be increased by $166.

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, we are required to make a mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Jackson Note of not less than $3,000 no later January 31, 2021. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note shall be due and payable on September 30, 2022. The Loan continues to be secured by substantially of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement with Jackson, dated September 15, 2017.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default for a senior secured loan including, among other events of default, (i) failure to timely pay interest and principal, (ii) other breaches and violation of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, (iii) bankruptcy and insolvency events affecting us and/or subsidiaries and (iv) the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition to customary remedies for senior secured lenders following an event of default, Jackson shall have the right to cause us to engage a financial advisor to provide a valuation analyses of us as a going concern and analyses of strategic alternatives that may be available to us. We will be obligated to provide all such analyses to Jackson.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement also contains restrictions against incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) on any of our equity interest or repayment of debt, consolidations, mergers, sales of assets or change in control and financial covenants.

Amendment to Series E Preferred Stock and Series E-1 Preferred Stock

In connection with the entry into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, we also filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the second Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designation (as amended, the “Series E Certificate of Designation”) of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Base Series E Preferred Stock”) and Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E-1 Preferred Stock,” and collectively with the Base Series E Preferred Stock, the “Series E Preferred Stock”). Under the amended terms, holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to monthly cash dividends on our Series E Preferred Stock at a per annum rate of 12%. At our option, up to 50% of the cash dividend on the Base Series E Preferred Stock may be paid in kind by adding such 50% portion to the outstanding liquidation value of the Base Series E Preferred Stock (the “PIK Dividend Payment”), commencing on October 26, 2020 and ending on October 25, 2022. If the PIK Dividend Payment is elected, a holder of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to additional fee to be paid in shares of our common stock an amount equal to $10 divided by the average closing price, as reported by Nasdaq of such shares of common stock over the 5 trading days prior to the applicable monthly interest payment date. If such average market price is less than $0.50, or is otherwise undeterminable because such shares are no longer publicly traded or the closing price is no longer reported by Nasdaq, then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $0.50, and if such average closing price is greater than $3.50 then the average closing price for these purposes shall be deemed to be $3.50. Dividends on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock may only be paid in cash. If we fail to make dividend payments on our Series E Preferred Stock, it will be an event of default under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms of the Amendment, shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into our common stock at a conversion rate equal to the liquidation value of each shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock divided by $1.00 per share commencing October 31, 2020. Each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. Our shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock will be also convertible into shares of our common stock after October 31, 2022. The conversion rate for our Base Series E Preferred Stock is equal to the liquidation value of each shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock divided by $1.00 per share. Each share of Base Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share.

Amendment to Warrant Agreement with Jackson

On October 26, 2020, in connection with the entry into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated April 25, 2018, as amended (the “Warrant”), with Jackson. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the exercise price of the Warrant was reduced from $1.66 per share to $1.00 per share and the term of the Warrant was extended to January 26, 2026.

Amendments to our Credit Agreement with MidCap Funding IV Trusts

On October 26, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 17 to Credit and Security Agreement with MidCap Funding IV Trusts (“MidCap”), dated April 8, 2015, whereby, among other things, MidCap agreed to extend the maturity date of our outstanding asset based revolving loan until September 1, 2022 (such transaction, the “MidCap Amendment”). In addition, we also agreed to certain amendments to the financial covenants contained in the Credit and Security Agreement as more particularly described in Amendment No. 17.

FirstPro Transaction

On September 24, 2020, we and Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC d/b/a firstPRO, our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Seller”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with FirstPro Recruitment, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Seller sold to the Buyer substantially all of the Seller’s assets used in or related to the operation or conduct of its professional staffing and recruiting business in Georgia (the “Assets,” and such sale, the “FirstPro Transaction”). In addition, the Buyer agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the Assets. The purchase price in connection with the FirstPro Transaction was $3,300, of which (a) $1,219 was paid at closing (the “Initial Payment”) and (b) $2,080 was held in a separate escrow account (the “Escrow Funds”), which will be released upon receipt of the forgiveness of the Seller’s Paycheck Protection Program loan (the “PPP Loan”) by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). In the event that all or any portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven by the SBA, all or

portion of the Escrow Funds will be used to repay any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan in full. The FirstPro Transaction closed on September 24, 2020. In September, we submitted the PPP Loan forgiveness applications to the SBA. As of the date of this quarterly report, the PPP Loans have not been approved for forgiveness, and there is no guarantee that all or portion of the PPP Loan will be forgiven.

In connection with execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Consent Agreement (the “Consent”) with Jackson, a noteholder pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Consent and the Series E Certificate of Designation, in consideration for Jackson’s consent to the FirstPro Transaction, the Initial Payment was used to redeem a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and the Escrow Funds, subject to the forgiveness of our PPP Loan discussed above, will be used to redeem a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock.

To induce the Buyer to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Seller also entered into a Transition Services Agreement with the Buyer, pursuant to which each party will provide certain transition services to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the Seller and the Buyer arising from the FirstPro Transaction.

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On September 29, 2020, we held our 2020 virtual annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), pursuant to which we may grant equity incentive awards to our key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors. The 2020 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards, which may be granted singly or in combination, and that may be paid in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock. A total of 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for grant under the 2020 Plan, plus any awards reserved under our prior equity incentive plans, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement. The 2020 Plan had been previously approved by our board of directors (the “Board”) on June 30, 2020, subject to stockholder approval, and will terminate on June 30, 2030.

Business Model, Operating History and Acquisitions

We are a high-growth international staffing company engaged in the acquisition of United States (“U.S.”) and United Kingdom (“U.K.”) based staffing companies. Our services principally consist of providing temporary contractors, and, to a much lesser extent, the recruitment of candidates for permanent placement. As part of our consolidation model, we pursue a broad spectrum of staffing companies supporting primarily accounting and finance, information technology, engineering, administration (collectively, the “Professional Business Stream”) and commercial (“Commercial Business Stream”) disciplines. Our typical acquisition model is based on paying consideration in the form of cash, stock, earn-outs and/or promissory notes. In furthering our business model, we are regularly in discussions and negotiations with various suitable, mature acquisition targets. To date, we have completed ten acquisitions since November 2013.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for Q3 2020 YTD were $33,890, a decrease of 3.6% as compared with $35,173 for Q3 2019 YTD. The decrease in operating expenses was driven by primarily by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,943 resulting from cost cutting efforts, decrease in depreciation and amortization of $309; offset by goodwill impairment charge at the FirstPro Inc. (“FirstPro”) reporting unit of $2,969. Excluding the impairment of goodwill charge at FirstPro, operating expenses declined by 12%.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for Q3 2020 YTD was $6,283, an increase of 50.8% from $4,168 in Q3 2019 YTD.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also use non-GAAP financial measures and Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) in addition to our GAAP results. We believe non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs may provide useful information for evaluating our cash operating performance, ability to service debt, compliance with debt covenants and measurement against competitors. This information should be

considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

We present the following non-GAAP financial measure and KPIs in this report:

Revenue and Gross Profit by Sector We use this KPI to measure the Company’s mix of Revenue and respective profitability between its two main lines of business due to their differing margins. For clarity, these lines of business are not our operating segments, as this information is not currently regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to allocate capital and resources. Rather, we use this KPI to benchmark us against the industry.

Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing calculated as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities plus net proceeds from accounts receivable financing. Because much of our temporary payroll expense is paid weekly and in advance of clients remitting payment for invoices, operating cash flow is often weaker in staffing companies where revenue and accounts receivable are growing. Accounts receivable financing is essentially an advance on client remittances and is primarily used to fund temporary payroll. As such, we believe this measure is helpful to investors as an indicator of our underlying operating cash flow.

On February 8, 2018, CBS Butler Holdings Limited (“CBS Butler”), Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and The JM Group, entered into a new arrangement with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd (“HSBC”) which provides for HSBC to purchase the subsidiaries’ accounts receivable up to an aggregate amount of £11,500 across all three subsidiaries. The terms of the arrangement provide for HSBC to fund 90% of the purchased accounts receivable upfront and, a secured borrowing line of 70% of unbilled receivables capped at £1,000 (within the overall aggregate total facility of £11,500). The arrangement has an initial term of 12 months, with an automatic rolling three-month extension and carries a service charge of 1.80%. Under ASU 2016-16, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, the upfront portion of the sale of accounts receivable is classified within operating activities, while the deferred purchase price portion (or beneficial interest), once collected, is classified within investing activities. On April 20, 2020, the terms of the loan with HSBC was amended whereby no capital repayments will be made between April 2020 to September 2020, and only interest payments will be made during this time. On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into a 3 year term loan with HSBC in the UK for £1,000.

The Leverage Ratio and Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing should be considered together with the information in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, immediately below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Historically, we have funded our operations through term loans, promissory notes, bonds, convertible notes, private placement offerings and sales of equity.

Our primary uses of cash have been for debt repayments, repayment of deferred consideration from acquisitions, professional fees related to our operations and financial reporting requirements and for the payment of compensation, benefits and consulting fees. The following trends may occur as the Company continues to execute on its strategy:

•

An increase in working capital requirements to finance organic growth,

•

Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,

•

Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as we expand within existing markets or enter new markets,

•

A continuation of the costs associated with being a public company, and

•

Capital expenditures to add technologies.

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations could significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and increase the use of resources.

On September 15, 2020, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into the Consent and Amendment Agreement (the “Consent and Amendment Agreement”) with Jackson, which amends the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement, the stated maturity of the previously issued notes (the “Existing Jackson Notes”) under the Existing Note Purchase Agreement was extended from September 15, 2020 to October 15, 2020.

On October 26, 2020, we entered into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Jackson Note, with Jackson, which amended and restated our Existing Note Purchase Agreement, as amended. The Amended Note Purchase Agreement refinanced an aggregate of $35.7 million of debt provided by Jackson pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and the Existing Jackson Notes. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Notes shall be due and payable on September 30, 2022. For more information, see Note 13 to our financial statements contained elsewhere in this quarterly report.

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement includes certain financial customary covenants and the Company has had in prior periods had instances of non-compliance. As of September 26, 2020, any non-compliance of the covenants waived with the refinancing in October 2020. Management has historically been able to obtain from Jackson waivers of any non-compliance; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers, and should Jackson refuse to provide a waiver in the future, the outstanding debt under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement could become due immediately, which exceeds our current cash balance.

During Q3 2020 and on October 26, 2020, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into amendments to the Credit and Security Agreement to extend the maturity date of the facility from August 8, 2020 to September 1, 2022. For more information, see Note 13 to our financial statements contained elsewhere in this quarterly report.

On September 24, 2020, we entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with the Buyer, pursuant to which the Seller sold to the Buyer substantially all of the Seller’s Assets. In addition, the Buyer has agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the Assets. The purchase price in connection with the FirstPro Transaction was $3,300.

Under the terms of the Consent and the Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock, in consideration for Jackson’s consent to the FirstPro Transaction, the Initial Payment was used to redeem a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and the Escrow Funds, subject to the forgiveness of the PPP Loan discussed in “—Recent Development”, will be used to redeem a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock. For more information, see Note 2 to our financial statements contained elsewhere in this quarterly report.

As of and for the nine-month period ended September 26, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $16,440 and accumulated deficit of $89,938, and a net loss of $13,401.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of us as a going concern. We have unsecured payments due in the next 12 months associated with historical acquisitions and secured current debt arrangements which are in excess of cash and cash equivalents on hand, in addition to funding operational growth requirements. Historically, we have funded such payments either through cash flow from operations or the raising of capital through additional debt or equity. Although we have raised an aggregate of approximately $19,395 through PPP Loan, if we unable to obtain additional capital, such unsecured payments may not be made on time. In September, we applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan in the aggregate amount equal to $19,395. Additionally, with the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is further uncertainty related to our future revenues, gross profit and cash flows.

COVID-19 is impacting worldwide economic activity, and activity in the United States and the United Kingdom where the Company’s operations are based. The nature of work of the contractors the Company supports mostly are on the site of the Company’s clients. As a result, the Company is subject to the plans and approaches of the Company’s clients to work during this period. This includes whether they support remote working when they have decided to close their facilities. To the extent that the Company’s clients have decided to or are required to close their facilities or not permit remote work when they decide to close facilities, the Company would no longer generate revenue and profit from that client. In addition, in the event that the Company’s clients’ businesses suffer or close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may experience decline in its revenue or write-off of receivables from such clients. In addition, in the event that our clients’ businesses suffer or close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience decline in our revenue or write-off of receivables from such clients. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted the Company’s ability to deploy its staffing workforce effectively thereby impacting contracts with customers in the Commercial Staffing and Professional Staffing business streams where the Company has seen declines of approximately 17% in revenues during the third quarter of 2020 as compared with the first quarter of 2020, however compared to the second quarter of 2020, the Company has seen 12% increases in revenues. Such government-imposed precautionary measures may have been relaxed in certain countries or states, but there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. Therefore, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect the Company’s operation and to disrupt the marketplace in which the Company operates, may negatively impact its sales in fiscal year 2020, and its overall liquidity.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Whitaker v. Monroe Staffing Services, LLC & Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

On December 5, 2019, former owner of Key Resources, Inc. (“KRI”), Pamela D. Whitaker (“Whitaker”, “Plaintiff”), filed a complaint in Guilford County, North Carolina (the “North Carolina Action”) asserting claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against Monroe and the Company (the “Defendants” arising out of the alleged non-payment of certain earn-out payments and interest purportedly due under a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Whitaker sold all issued and outstanding shares in her staffing agency, KRI to Staffing 360’s subsidiary, Monroe Staffing Services in August 2018. Whitaker is seeking $4,054 in alleged damages.

The Company intends to vigorously contest Whitaker’s claims in the North Carolina Action and pursue its claims in the New York Action.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Except as otherwise set forth below, there have been no material developments to alter the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019, and our quarterly report for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2020.

The recent COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect our business.

In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has spread globally, resulting in government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in affected countries. The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting worldwide economic activity, and activity in the United States and the United Kingdom where our operations are based. Much of the independent contractor work we provide to our clients is performed at the site of our clients. As a result, we are subject to the plans and approaches of our clients have made to address the COVID-19 pandemic, such as whether they support

remote working or if they have simply closed their facilities and furloughed employees. To the extent that our clients were to decide or are required to close their facilities, or not permit remote work when they close facilities, we would no longer generate revenue and profit from that client. In addition, in the event that our clients’ businesses suffer or close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience decline in our revenue or write-off of receivables from such clients. Moreover, developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted our ability to deploy our staffing workforce effectively, thereby impacting contracts with customers in our commercial staffing and professional staffing business streams, where we have seen declines in revenues during the Q3 2020. Such government-imposed precautionary measures may have been relaxed in certain countries or states, but there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. Therefore, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect our operation and to disrupt the marketplace in which we operate and may negatively impact our sales in fiscal year 2020 and our overall liquidity.

While the ultimate economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others, the pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions in the general commercial activity and the global economy and caused financial market volatility and uncertainty in significant and unforeseen ways in the recent months.. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital and on the market price of our common stock, and we may not be able to successfully raise need capital through the sale of our securities or refinancing any of our debt facilities. If we are unsuccessful in raising capital in the future, we may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.

In addition, the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic or an outbreak of other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A low trading price could lead Nasdaq to take actions toward delisting our common stock, including immediately delisting of our common stock.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq, and the quantitative listing standards of the Nasdaq require, among other things, that listed companies maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. On September 24, 2020, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between August 12, 2020 through September 23, 2020, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 23, 2021, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

We can regain compliance with this requirement if at any time before the expiration of the Compliance Period the closing bid price for our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance during the Compliance Period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Hearings Panel. If we fail to regain compliance within our applicable cure period, or fail to satisfy other listing requirements, our common stock may be subject to delisting.

To resolve the noncompliance, we may consider available options including a reverse stock split, which may not result in a permanent increase in the market price of our common stock, which is dependent on many factors, including general economic, market and industry conditions and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s shares to decline in the period following a reverse stock split.

The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of our common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. Although we will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other listing criteria of Nasdaq. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.

NASDAQ has listing requirement of a minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500. If we fail to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500 within any provided cure period, our common stock may be involuntarily delisted from NASDAQ.

companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500. Further, as of June 9, 2020, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

If we fail to evidence compliance upon filing our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, our common stock could be delisted. In such event, Nasdaq Listing Rules permit us to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel; however, there is no assurance that our appeal would be granted, and if granted, our appeal would be able to delay or prevent delisting. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules or maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

Although we expect to take actions intended to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would be successful, or that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock. Should a delisting occur, an investor would likely find it significantly more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of our common stock, and our ability to raise future capital through the sale of our common stock could be severely limited. Furthermore, we expect these additional reporting rules and regulations would increase our legal and financial compliance costs.

The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile. This may affect the ability of our investors to sell their shares, and the value of an investment in our common shares may decline.

Historically, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated over a wide range. During the 12-months period ended November 10, 2020, our common stock traded as high as $1.44 per share and as low as $0.33 per share. The market prices of our common stock may continue to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

•

our quarterly or annual operating results;

•

changes in our earnings estimates;

•

investment recommendations by securities analysts following our business or our industry;

•

additions or departures of key personnel;

•

negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation;

•

changes in the business, earnings estimates or market perceptions of our competitors;

•

our failure to achieve operating results consistent with securities analysts' projections;

•

changes in industry, general market or economic conditions, including levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; and

•

announcements of legislative or regulatory changes.

Furthermore, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in the staffing industry. The changes often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent months. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital and on the market price of our common stock.

There has been a limited trading market for our common stock in the past, and we cannot ensure that an active trading market for our common stock can be sustained.

Historically, there has been relatively limited trading volume in the market for our common stock in the past, and the market for our common stock was illiquid. Although the trading volume of our common stock has increased in the recent months, a more active, liquid public trading market may not develop. In addition, we cannot ensure that an active trading market for our stock can be sustained. Limited liquidity in the trading market for our common stock may adversely affect a stockholder's ability to sell its shares of common stock at the time it wishes to sell them or at a price that it considers acceptable. If we are unable to maintain an active trading market for our common stock, we may be limited in our ability to raise capital by selling shares of common stock and our ability to acquire other companies or assets by using shares of our common stock as consideration. In addition, if there is a thin trading

market or "float" for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile and it would be harder for a stockholder to liquidate any investment in our common stock.

We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our recently received Paycheck Protection Program Loan, and our application for the Paycheck Protection Program Loan could in the future be determined to have been impermissible or could result in damage to our reputation.

On May 12, 2020, Monroe Staffing, our indirect subsidiary, received loan proceeds of approximately $10,000 pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act administered by the SBA. In addition, on May 20, 2020, KRI, LH and SG, each of which is our wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary, received loan proceeds in the aggregate amount of $9,395 pursuant to the PPP. We and our subsidiaries used the PPP Loans in accordance with the requirements of the PPP to cover certain qualified expenses, including payroll costs, rent and utility costs. The PPP Loans are evidenced by promissory notes, dated as of May 12, 2020 and May 20, 2020, as applicable, issued by Newton Federal Bank, which contain customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to breaches of obligations under the PPP Loans, including a failure to make payments, any bankruptcy or similar proceedings, and certain material effects on our ability to repay the PPP Loans. The PPP Loans mature two years following the dates of issuance, bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, and are subject to the standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act.

Beginning on the seventh month following the issuance dates, we are required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The PPP Loans may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity. Under the CARES Act, as amended in June 2020, loan forgiveness is generally available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the dates of the first disbursement of the PPP Loans. The amount of the PPP Loans eligible to be forgiven may be reduced in certain circumstances, including as a result of certain headcount or salary reductions. In September, we applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loans in the aggregate amount equal to $19,395. As of the date of this quarterly report, the PPP Loans have not been approved for forgiveness. We will be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be eligible for loan forgiveness or that any amount of the PPP Loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.

In order to apply for the PPP Loans, we were required to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the PPP Loans request necessary to support our ongoing operations. We made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, the maintenance of our workforce, our need for additional funding to continue operations, and our ability to access alternative forms of capital in the current market environment to offset the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following this analysis, we believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loans, and that our receipt of the PPP Loans is consistent with the broad objectives of the CARES Act. The certification described above did not contain any objective criteria and is subject to interpretation.

On April 23, 2020, the SBA issued guidance stating that it is unlikely that a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets will be able to make the required certification in good faith. The lack of clarity regarding loan eligibility under the PPP has resulted in significant media coverage and controversy with respect to public companies applying for and receiving loans. If, despite our good-faith belief that given our circumstances we satisfied all eligible requirements for the PPP Loans, we are later determined to have violated any applicable laws or regulations that may apply to us in connection with the PPP Loans or it is otherwise determined that we were ineligible to receive the PPP Loans, we may be required to repay the PPP Loans in their entirety and/or be subject to additional penalties, which could also result in adverse publicity and damage to our reputation. Should we be audited or reviewed by federal or state regulatory authorities as a result of filing an application for forgiveness of the PPP Loans or otherwise, such audit or review could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention and legal and reputational costs. If we were to be audited or reviewed and receive an adverse determination or finding in such audit or review, we could be required to return the full amount of the PPP Loans. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On September 25, 2020, we issued 2,800 shares of common stock to each of our directors as equity compensation for Board services, resulting in the issuance of 11,200 shares of our common stock. The issuance of the shares of common stock to the directors was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, and the shares of the common stock were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

None.

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 dated October 26, 2020 (this “Amendment”) amends the Warrant (defined below), and is by and between Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Jackson Investment Group, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Holder”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the Holder’s execution of that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof, between Holder and the Company, the parties desire to further amend the Warrant to decrease the Exercise Price and to extend the Exercise Period.

6.Legend. The following legend shall be placed on all certificates issued representing Awarded Shares:

On the face of the certificate:

“Transfer of this stock is restricted in accordance with conditions printed on the reverse of this certificate.”

On the reverse:

“The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate are subject to and transferable only in accordance with that certain Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company in New York City, New York. No transfer or pledge of the shares evidenced hereby may be made except in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Plan. By acceptance of this certificate, any holder, transferee or pledgee hereof agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of said Plan.”

The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate evidencing Common Stock issued under the Plan if the shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:

“Shares of stock represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon

4813-2077-5620 v.2

evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”

All Awarded Shares owned by the Participant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be represented by a certificate or certificates bearing the foregoing legend.

7.Delivery of Certificates; Registration of Shares. The Company shall deliver certificates for the Awarded Shares to the Participant or shall register the Awarded Shares in the Participant’s name, free of restriction under this Agreement, promptly after, and only after, the Restriction Period has expired without forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.

8.Rights of a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 4 and Section 5 above, the Participant shall have, with respect to his Awarded Shares, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any dividends thereon. Any stock dividends paid with respect to Awarded Shares shall at all times be treated as the Awarded Shares and shall be subject to all restrictions placed on such Awarded Shares; any such stock dividends paid with respect to such Awarded Shares shall vest as the related Awarded Shares become vested. Any cash dividends paid with respect to unvested Awarded Shares shall at all times be subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth above); any such cash dividends paid with respect to such unvested Awarded Shares shall vest as such Awarded Shares become vested, and shall be paid to the Participant on the date the Awarded Shares to which such cash dividends relate become vested.

9.Voting. The Participant, as record holder of the Awarded Shares, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Awarded Shares until such time as the Awarded Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 9 shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Awarded Shares otherwise have no such right.

10.Adjustment to Number of Awarded Shares. The number of Awarded Shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11-13 of the Plan.

11.Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for a breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

12.Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he will not acquire any Awarded Shares, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Awarded Shares to the Participant hereunder, if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The rights and obligations of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

13.Investment Representation.

Unless the Common Stock

4813-2077-5620 v.2

is issued to him in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

17.Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

Each of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement.

1.Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as adopted by Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company grants to

(the “Participant”)

who is an Employee of the Company, an option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase a total of _________________ (____________) full shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Optioned Shares”) at an “Option Price” equal to $_________ per share (being the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant or 110% of such Fair Market Value, in the case of a ten percent (10%) or more stockholder as provided in Section 422 of the Code), in the amounts, during the periods and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Incentive Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”).

The “Date of Grant” of this Stock Option is ______________, 2020. The “Option Period” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant (or the date immediately preceding the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant, in the case of a ten percent (10%) or more stockholder as provided in Section 422 of the Code) unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4 below. The Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option.

2.Subject to Plan.

The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Stock Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and communicated to the Participant in writing.

a._______________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall be exercisable on the Date of Grant.

d._______________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on ___________________, provided the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

[In the event that (i) a Change in Control occurs, and (ii) this Option Agreement is not assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent, or the surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute its own option for this Stock Option, then immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control, the total Optioned Shares not previously vested shall thereupon immediately become vested and this Stock Option shall become fully exercisable, if not previously so exercisable.]

4.Term; Forfeiture.

a.Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares that are not vested on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date. The unexercised portion of the Stock Option that relates to Optioned Shares which are vested on such date will terminate at the first of the following to occur:

v.5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

b.For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in any employment, consulting, or other service agreement in effect by and between the Company and the Participant; provided, however, at any time there is no such agreement in effect, or if such agreement does not define such term, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) the Participant’s commission of a dishonest or fraudulent act in connection with the Participant’s employment, or the misappropriation of Company property; (ii) the Participant’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or crime involving dishonesty; (iii) the Participant’s inattention to duties, unsatisfactory performance, or failure to perform the Participant’s duties hereunder, provided in each case the Company gives the Participant written notice and thirty (30) days to correct the Participant’s performance to the Company’s satisfaction; (iv) a substantial failure to comply with the Company’s policies; (v) a material and willful breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties in any material respect, provided in each case the Company gives the Participant written notice and thirty (30) days to correct such breach; (vi) the Participant’s failure to comply in any material respect with any legal written directive of the Board; or (vii) any act or omission of the Participant which is of substantial detriment to the Company because of the Participant’s intentional failure to comply with any statute, rule or regulation, except any act or omission believed by the Participant in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company (without the intent of the Participant to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Participant was not legally

4842-2559-4052 v.2

entitled). Any determination of whether the Participant should be terminated for Cause pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the sole, good faith discretion of the Board, and shall be binding upon all parties affected thereby.

5.Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to his death prior to the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof: the personal representative of his estate or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant, provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

6.No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

7.Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”) which shall be at least three (3) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon, and whether the Optioned Shares to be exercised will be considered as deemed granted under an Incentive Stock Option as provided in Section 11. On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Company; (b) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, Common Stock (including Restricted Stock) owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date; (c) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, by delivery (including by FAX) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price; and/or (d) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion.

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause the Common Stock then being purchased to be registered in the Participant’s name (or the person exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of the Participant’s death) promptly after the Exercise Date. The obligation of the Company to register shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

4842-2559-4052 v.2

If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, that portion of the Participant’s Stock Option and the right to purchase such Optioned Shares may be forfeited by the Participant.

8.Nonassignability. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

9.Rights as Stockholder. The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant or the registration of such shares in the Participant’s name for the shares of Common Stock. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. The Participant, by his execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock.

10.Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 – 13 of the Plan.

11.Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent the number of Optioned Shares exceeds the limit set forth in Section 6.3 of the Plan, such Optioned Shares shall be deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option. Unless otherwise indicated by the Participant in the notice of exercise pursuant to Section 7, upon any exercise of this Stock Option, the number of exercised Optioned Shares that shall be deemed to be exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option shall equal the total number of Optioned Shares so exercised multiplied by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which is the number of unexercised Optioned Shares that could then be exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option, and (b) the denominator of which is the then total number of unexercised Optioned Shares.

12.Disqualifying Disposition. In the event that Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Stock Option is disposed of by the Participant in a “Disqualifying Disposition,” such Participant shall notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition of the date and terms of such disposition. For purposes hereof, “Disqualifying Disposition” shall mean a disposition of Common Stock that is acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option (and that is not deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option under Section 11) prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from the Date of Grant of this Stock Option or one (1) year from the transfer of shares to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option.

13.Voting. The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.

14.Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

4842-2559-4052 v.2

15.Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

16.Investment Representation. Unless the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

17.Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his review by the Company and represents that he is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Stock Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

18.Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

19.No Right to Continue Employment.
