Competition
The staffing industry is intensely competitive and fragmented and has limited barriers to entry. The Company competes for employees and clients in national, regional and local markets with full-service and specialized temporary staffing services businesses. A significant number of the Company's competitors have greater marketing, financial and other resources and more established operations than the Company. Price competition in the staffing industry is intense, particularly for the provision of commercial personnel, and pricing pressures from competitors and clients are increasing. Many of the Company's clients have relationships with more than one staffing service company. However, in recent years, an increasing number of companies have consolidated their staffing services purchases and entered into exclusive contracts with a single temporary staffing company or a small number of temporary staffing companies. If current or potential clients enter into exclusive contracts with competitors of the Company, it will be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain business from such clients. The Company expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase its market share or maintain or increase gross margins, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Business Plan
The Company has implemented a strategy intended to continue its growth in existing and new markets, the key elements of which are to: (i) increase the Company's focus on Professional Services; (ii) cross-sell service offerings in existing markets and expand into new markets; (iii) focus on commercial staffing in small to mid-size cities; (iv) increase vendor-on-premises relationships; and (v) expand through acquisitions.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used to repay certain indebtedness and for working capital and for general corporate purposes including future acquisitions.
