ANIZATION 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 (“Golden Fork”), which changed its name to Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., ticker symbol “STAF”, on March 16, 2012.
The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on September 17, 2015. Following the reverse split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock decreased from 45,732,674 to 4,573,360. All share and per share information in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. As of August 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $16,025, an accumulated deficit of $45,465, for the quarter ended August 31, 2016 a net loss of $1,294, and, as of the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has approximately
$9.3 million associated with long term debt and other amortizing obligations,
due in the next 12 months.
The Company’s projected cash flows from operations for the same period are not sufficient to address these obligations in the normal course. As a result, the Company will need to seek additional funding through capital raises to meet some of these short term obligations.
Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from organic revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs
. In addition, the Company has the ability to raise additional capital through private investments. As of August 29, 2016, as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, the Company
had received a memorandum of understanding and was in discussions with one investor for capital that would be at least sufficient to meet all of the obligations discussed above. Subsequent to that date, that investor informed the Company that its intention was not to pursue the investment opportunity. As such, management continues to have discussions with other potential investors.
Management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management’s ability to successfully secure additional sources of financing and increased profitable operations.
Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. However, based upon an evaluation of the Company’s continued growth trajectory, past success in raising capital and meetings its obligations as well as its plans for raising capital discussed above, management believes that the Company is a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. As described below, the Company consolidates PeopleSERVE PRS, Inc. (“PRS”), an entity of which it previously owned 49%, since the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of this entity. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. On April 29, 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 51% for $101. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Interim Financial Statements
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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All amounts in thousands, except share, per share and stated value per share)
(UNAUDITED)
These unaudited condensed consolidated f
inancial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which are included in the Company’s May 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K fi
led with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2016. 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 p
eriod, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year endin
g May 31, 2017.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentations. These reclassifications had no impact on reported results of operations. In accordance with
ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 – 10 “Revenue from Contract with Customers: identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”. The amendments in this Update clarify the two following aspects (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. This guidance has no effective date as yet. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is to be applied for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, modified retrospectively, or prospectively depending on the amendment(s) applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, the sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

(UNAUDITED)
In
January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities und
er the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losse
s on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balanc
e sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument
-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)”. The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)”. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance
.
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 available to stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common stock shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock share equivalents consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified treasury stock method). Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of August 31, 2016 and 2015 have been excluded from the per share computations, since its inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

The Certificate of Designation sets forth the
11
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)
voting powers, designations, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and relative rights applicable to the Series D Preferred Sto
ck. Except as otherwise required by law, the Series D Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, except: (a) during a period where a dividend (or part of a dividend) is in arrears; (b) on a proposal to reduce the Company's share capital; (c) on a resolut
ion to approve the terms of a buy-back agreement; (d) on a proposal to wind up the Company; (e) on a proposal for the disposal of all or substantially all the Company's property, business and undertaking; and (f) during the winding-up of the entity.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, pari passu with any distribution or payment made to the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock (each a “Holder”) will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock equal to $10,000 (whole dollars), plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid In-Kind Accrual thereon.
Commencing on the date of the issuance of any such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock will accrue a cumulative in-kind payment accrual (“In-Kind Accrual”), at a rate equal to 6.50% per annum, subject to adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations, of the Face Value. In-Kind Accrual will be payable with respect to any shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon any of the following: (a) upon redemption of such shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designation; (b) upon conversion of such shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designation; and (c) when, as and if otherwise declared by the board of directors of the Company. The In-Kind Accrual is not a dividend that accrues and payable but rather used only the calculation in the case of a redemption or conversion.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Company and Holder thereof, in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designation) determined by dividing the Face Value of such share of Series D Preferred Stock by the conversion price for the Series D Preferred Stock, which shall equal $2.50, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Certificate of Designation. Holders may effect conversions by providing the Company with a conversion notice in accordance with form and procedures set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The shares of common stock underlying the Series D Preferred Stock offered by this prospectus supplement will be fully paid and non-assessable.
The Company may not issue shares of Common Stock to any Holder which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then deemed beneficially owned by such Holder, would result in such Holder owning more than 4.99% of all Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance; provided, however, that such Holder may increase such amount to 9.99% upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
On June 24, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company sold to the purchasers 211 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock at a face value of $10,000 (whole dollars) per share of Series D Preferred, and Original Issue Discount of 5% and a conversion price into common stock of $2.50 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $2,000 before placement fees and estimated offering expenses. The offering of the Series D Preferred Stock was made under the Company’s Shelf Registration.
During the three months ended August 31, 2016, holders of this series converted 93 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to 1,061,425 shares of Common Stock.

determined that a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) existed in the amount of $615, which was recorded within Additional Paid-In Capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On September 22, 2016, the Company and Discover Growth Fund have agreed that a Trigger Event, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement between Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. and Discover Growth Fund dated June 24, 2016, filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K on June 27, 2016 (the “Series D Purchase Agreement”), has occurred as of September 22, 2016. A Trigger Event gives the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock certain additional rights and removes certain restrictions in respect of the Series D Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Series D Purchase Agreement. Discover Growth Fund has agreed not to submit any additional conversion notices until we obtain stockholder approval for the transaction, so long as such approval is obtained by January 2017. We intend to seek stockholder approval for the transaction in our proxy statement.

(CSI), the purchase price includes monthly cash payments to the former owners and shareholders of CSI for performance-based compensation equal to 20% of CSI’s consolidated gross profit from the date of closing through the end of the sixteenth quarter following the date of closing not to exceed a total of $2,100. During the three months ended August 31, 2016 and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, the Company paid $39 and $160, respectively, towards the earn-out liability. At August 31, 2016 the remaining balance was $1,359 of which $159 is recorded in other current liabilities and $1,200 is recorded in other long-term liabilities.
Pursuant to the acquisition of Lighthouse Placement Services, Inc. (Lighthouse), the sellers received 62,460 shares of Common Stock. In the event that the VWAP price for the 90 days prior to the anniversary of the acquisition date, is less than $10.00 per share, then the Company shall pay to the sellers an amount equal to $10.00 per share less the VWAP price multiplied by each share. On the anniversary of the acquisition date, the Company calculated the amount as $500. As of August 31, 2016, the Company paid $100 and the remaining $400 was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. In September 2016 the remaining $400 was paid.
Legal Proceedings
NewCSI, Inc. vs. Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.
On May 22, 2014, NewCSI, the former owners of Control Solutions International, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, against the Company arising from the terms of the CSI Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2013. NewCSI claims that the Company breached a provision of the CSI Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA § 2.7”) that required the Company to calculate and pay to NewCSI 50% of certain “Deferred Tax Assets” within 90 days after December 31, 2013. The Complaint sought payment of the amount allegedly owed under SPA § 2.7 and acceleration of earn-out payments provided for in the CSI Stock Purchase Agreement of $1,400, less amounts paid to date, and attorneys’ fees. The Company responded denying the material allegations and interposing numerous affirmative defenses. On October 8, 2014, NewCSI filed a Motion of Summary Judgment (the “Motion”). On March 30, 2015, a Magistrate Judge of the District Court issued a Report and Recommendation that the District Court deny the Motion. The Recommendation became a final decision on April 13, 2015.
On December 31, 2014, NewCSI filed an amended complaint to which NewCSI added an additional count asserting an “Adjustment Event” had occurred requiring an acceleration of earn-out payments provided for in the CSI Stock Purchase Agreement of $2,100, less amounts paid to date ($1,671 at December 31, 2014), should Staffing 360 or CSI “be unable, or admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they mature.” The Company responded denying the material allegations and interposing numerous affirmative defenses, including that the earn-out liability was fully expensed at the time of the acquisition and fully accrued for on the Company’s balance sheet as part of the purchase accounting at the time of the acquisition. The final pretrial conference in this matter was held April 22, 2015. A jury was selected on May 14, 2015, and the trial was held May 18-20, 2015. On May 20, 2015, the jury rendered a verdict, finding that Staffing 360 had not complied with SPA § 2.7 and owed $154, but that NewCSI had not proven that Staffing 360 or CSI had become unable to pay debts as they came due. The Court had held that it was not a question for the jury to decide if damages for breach of SPA § 2.7 should include accelerated earn-out payments.
On June 3, 2015, NewCSI filed a Motion for Entry of Judgment as Matter of Law seeking entry of a judgment in the amount of $154, plus accelerated earn-out payments in the amount of $1,152, plus statutory interest. NewCSI did not challenge the jury verdict on the

ability to pay issue. Also on June 3, 2015, Staffing 360 filed a Motion for Entry of Judgment as a Matter of Law seeking entry of judgment against NewCSI on the jury’s findi
ng that Staffing 360 had not complied with SPA § 2.7, or, in the alternative, for a reduction of damages to $54 and to hold that NewCSI may not be awarded accelerated earn-out payments as that would result in an illegal penalty.
On October 21, 2015, judgment was entered in this action in favor of NewCSI and against the Company in the amount of $1,307, plus pre-judgment interest, post-judgment interest, and costs.
On January 26, 2016, the District Court set the bond in respect of the NewCSI litigation at $1,384. The Company has filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit seeking reversal of the judgment and posted a supersedeas bond to stay the execution of the judgment pending appeal. On April 18, 2016, the Court granted the NewCSI shareholders’ request for payment of attorneys’ fees, but reserved judgment on the amount of fees to award pending the outcome of the Company’s appeal. As of January 2016, the NewCSI shareholders have claimed they have incurred $552 in attorney’s fees, which could increase during the pendency of the appeal. On September 16, 2016, the Company was notified that oral argument for the appeal is scheduled for November 3, 2016.
We believe that the Company acted in a manner consistent with our contractual rights, and we intend to aggressively defend the Company against NewCSI. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the outcome of this litigation, which is now pending before the Fifth Circuit, will be favorable to the Company.
Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.
On November 13, 2015, in a separate proceeding, Staffing 360 initiated an arbitration before JAMS against three officers of Staffing 360, each a former Staffing 360 officer and employee. In its demand for arbitration and statement of claim, Staffing 360 alleged that these individuals breached their employment agreements with Staffing 360 and the fiduciary duties each owed to the Company. The three respondents responded with a counterclaim alleging wrongful termination and have moved to dismiss the arbitration, as well as moved for severance in relation to the remainder of their contracts.
On July 20, 2016, the arbitrator decided in favor of both of the respondents’ motions. Further on September 21, 2016 the arbitrator rendered the final award, which was set at $1,433. The Company is awaiting the respondents’ motion to confirm the award.
In addition, the Company has calculated interest and made a payment towards legal fees included in the final award amount. As of August 31, 2016 the balance is $1,539. This amount has already been fully accrued for and expensed on the Company’s balance sheet.
