CCNI Command Center Inc

Command Center, Inc. (OTCQB: CCNI) (http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/CCNI/quote), a national provider of on-demand and temporary staffing solutions, today reported revenue of $19.09 million for the thirteen-week period ended March 30, 2012. This represents an increase of 16.6% on revenue of $16.38 million for the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2011.

For the first quarter of 2012, the company reported a net loss of $561,496, or ($.01) per share, based on 59.04 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For the comparable year-ago period, the company reported a net loss of $2.30 million, or ($.04) per share, based on 55.05 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The company said a noncash expense of $616,183 related to a “change in fair value of warrant liability” was charged against income from operations of $250,633 in the first quarter of 2012. The company had reported a loss from operations of $1.31 million in the first quarter of 2011.

According to Command Center Chairman and CEO Glenn Welstad, “This is the first time we have reported a Q1 operating profit in any year since the company’s inception. It has resulted from a steady improvement in sales along with a significant increase in operating margins and management’s ongoing efforts to maintain cost controls. We are extremely pleased with these results, particularly in light of first quarter historically being the weakest time of year in the staffing industry. This is an excellent start to 2012 and, I believe, bodes well for the company’s performance in subsequent quarters.”

Mr. Welstad noted that the gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2012 was 24.3% versus 19.6% in the first quarter of 2011 and 22.8% for fiscal 2011. First quarter SG&A expenses were $4.27 million, or 22.4% of revenue, versus $4.38 million, or 26.8% of revenue, in the like year-ago quarter.

“Following the release of first quarter results last year,” concluded Mr. Welstad, “I discussed several factors that had negatively impacted margins, and I stated that management had begun to make significant adjustments designed to move margins back to earlier levels, including the need to focus on higher gross margin contracts. As a result of the measures that were successfully implemented, we have reinstated healthy margins that management will strive to improve even further.”
