REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of BGSF, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BGSF, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2020, based on criteria established in 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 11, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Acquisition of EdgeRock Technologies Holdings, Inc. – Fair Value of Intangible Assets
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of EdgeRock Technologies Holdings, Inc. (EdgeRock) for a purchase price cash consideration of $21.7 million, which resulted in $10.3 million of intangible assets. The $10.3 million of intangible assets is primarily comprised of a customer relationship intangible asset and a tradename intangible asset. The determination of a fair value for the customer relationships required management to make estimates of discounted future cash flows and included their subjective assumptions of the appropriate discount rate, the growth of revenue, and rate of attrition for the related customers. Management estimated the fair value of the tradename using the relief from royalty method which is based on the costs saved by owning the tradename rather than licensing it. This method also required management to estimate discounted cash flows with subjective assumptions of the appropriate discount rate, an appropriate royalty rate, and future revenues.
We identified the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the EdgeRock business combination to be a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the selection of discount and royalty rates, as well as forecasts of future revenues and cash flows.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our audit procedures related to the discount rates, royalty rate, and forecasts of future revenue and cash flows used by management to estimate the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the EdgeRock business combination included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s EdgeRock purchase price allocation, including those over the determination of the fair value of intangible assets, such as controls related to management’s selection of discount rates, the royalty rate, and forecasts of future revenues and cash flows.
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology, (2) discount rates, (3) the royalty rate, and (4) future revenue and growth rates, including testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and the royalty rate, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.
• We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues and cash flows by considering the past financial performance of EdgeRock and current economic factors.
Goodwill and Intangibles
Description of the Matter
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment involves the comparison of the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets at a reporting unit level is performed annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its respective carrying value. The Company uses the discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of goodwill, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rates and forecasts of future revenues and reporting unit profit margins. The Company uses a relief from royalty model and residual income model to estimate the fair value of intangibles which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to discount
44
rates and forecasts of future revenues, reporting unit profit margins and customer turnover. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill or intangible assets impairment charge, or both.
During the second quarter of 2020, the company identified circumstances that caused it to evaluate the goodwill and intangibles associated with one of its reporting units, the finance and accounting group, within the Professional segment for potential impairment. The Company updated their valuation models as of June 28, 2020 to reflect current market conditions and as a result of the test recorded a $7.2 million impairment of intangibles using the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets and residual method for the definite-lived intangible assets. As of December 27, 2020, the remaining goodwill and intangibles balance for the finance and accounting group was $2.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Subsequent to the impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2020, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter. Because the estimated fair values of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values, no additional impairments were recorded. Given that forecasted revenues and reporting unit profit margins for the Real Estate, Light Industrial and Professional reporting units are highly sensitive to changes in demand, sales and customer mix, and efficiency of operations, auditing management’s assumptions including the selection of discount rates involved especially subjective judgment. As a result, we identified the Company’s evaluations of goodwill impairment for the Real Estate, Light Industrial and Professional reporting units as a critical audit matter due to the high degree of auditor judgment and the increased extent of effort that was required when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the forecasts of revenue and profit margins, as well as the selection of discount rates, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our audit procedures related to forecasts of future revenues and operating unit profit margins (“forecasts”), and the selection of discount rates for the Real Estate, Light Industrial and Professional reporting units included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over goodwill and intangibles, including controls over the forecasts related to revenue and operating unit profit margin and selection of discount rates.
• We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenue and operating unit margins by performing a retrospective review of prior forecasts compared to actual results.
• We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s current revenue and operating unit margin forecasts by comparing the forecasts to historical results and internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year
The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal years for the consolidated financial statements included herein are for the 52 weeks ended December 27, 2020, December 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, referred to herein as Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2018 and 2019 financial statements to conform with the 2020 presentation.
Management Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include allowances for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, lease liability, contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions, and income taxes. Additionally, the valuation of share-based compensation expense uses a model based upon interest rates, stock prices, maturity estimates, volatility and other factors. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reliable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on our economy as a result of measures designed to stop the spread of the virus. In light of the currently unknown ultimate duration and severity of COVID-19, we face a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making the judgments and estimates needed to apply the Company’s significant accounting policies. As COVID-19 continues to develop, management may make changes to these estimates and judgments over time, which could result in meaningful impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Instruments
The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to, interest rate swap agreements used to mitigate interest rate risk, and the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO”) that provides for a revolving credit facility and term loan and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk. The fair value on the interest rate swap is based on quoted prices from BMO.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s diverse client partner base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic locations nationwide. No single client partner accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019 or revenue in Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018. Geographic revenue in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue in Fiscal 2020 and the related percentage for Fiscal 2019 and 2018 was generated in the following areas:
2020 2019 2018
Maryland 11 % 11 % 11 %
Massachusetts 14 % 1 % 2 %
Tennessee 14 % 15 % 14 %
Texas 23 % 28 % 29 %
Consequently, weakness in economic conditions in these regions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of future operations.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its client partners in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable represents unpaid balances due from client partners. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected losses resulting from client partners’ non-payment of balances due to the Company. The Company’s determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, prior loss experience, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual client partners and the Company’s ongoing examination process. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the fiscal years are as follows:
2020 2019

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property and Equipment
The Company depreciates the cost of property and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method ranging from five to seven years . The costs of leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operating expenses as incurred. Material expenditures that increase the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The cost of properties sold, or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any gains or losses are reflected in current operations.
Deposits
The Company maintains guaranteed costs policies for workers' compensation coverage in monopolistic states and minimal loss retention coverage in all other states. Under these policies, the Company is required to maintain refundable deposits of $ 3.8 million and $ 3.6 million, which are included in Deposits and other other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the development of internal-use software. Cloud computing implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements are capitalized and reported as a component of other assets. All other internal-use software development costs are capitalized and reported as a component of computer software within intangible assets.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. There were no impairments with respect to long-lived assets during Fiscal 2020, 2019 or 2018.
Leases
The Company leases all their office space through operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2025. Many of the lease agreements obligate the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain renewal provisions from 3 to 10 years, exercisable at the Company's option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term.
Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Intangible Assets
The Company holds intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years , based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.
Identifiable intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets based on the income approach valuation model whereby the present worth and anticipated future benefits of the identifiable intangible assets are discounted back to their net present value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company capitalizes purchased software and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the modification of software for internal use. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period incurred.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. Further, during second quarter 2020, the Company assessed the current market capitalization, forecasts and the current carrying value in the 2020 impairment test. As a result of the certain business developments and changes in the Company's long-term projections, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred that required an interim impairment assessment to be performed. The qualitative assessment thresholds were met on all reporting units except the finance and accounting group, within the Professional segment. The Company calculated the quantitative impairment test of the finance and accounting group using the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets and residual method for the definite-lived intangible assets by asset group (see Note 6). In the professional segment, the Company recognized a $ 3.7 million trade name impairment loss and a $ 3.5 million client partner list impairment loss during the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2020. The Company determined that there were no impairment indicators for these assets in Fiscal 2019 or 2018.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the enterprise value/cash paid less the fair value of all recognized net asset fair values including identifiable intangible asset values in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. As a result of the certain business developments and changes in the Company's long-term projections, during second quarter 2020, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred that required an interim impairment assessment to be performed. The qualitative assessment thresholds were met on all reporting units except the finance and accounting group. The Company calculated the quantitative impairment test of the finance and accounting group using the discounted cash flow method and concluded there was no goodwill impairment loss. Based on annual testing, the Company has determined that there was no goodwill impairment in Fiscal 2020, 2019 or 2018.
The Company first evaluates qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If after qualitatively assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then further testing is unnecessary. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company then estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill, as discussed below.
In assessing whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value.
The quantitative impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of a comparison of the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, a reporting unit shall recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess.
The quantitative goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step, the reporting unit's fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.

Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred financing fees are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the respective loans. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.
Contingent Consideration
The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain future operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. The fair value calculation of the expected future payments uses a discount rate commensurate with the risks of the expected cash flow. The resulting discount is amortized as interest expense over the outstanding period using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues from three segments: Real Estate, Professional, and Light Industrial. The Company provides workforce solutions and placement services. Revenues are recognized when promised workforce solutions are delivered to client partners, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent workforce solutions rendered to client partners less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and the related amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services.
The Company records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified field talent, (ii) has the discretion to select the field talent and establish their price and duties and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by client partners.
Workforce solution revenues - Field talent revenues from contracts with client partners are recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, when the services are rendered by the Company’s field talent.
Contingent placement revenues - Any revenues associated with workforce solutions that are provided on a contingent basis are recognized once the contingency is resolved, as this is when control is transferred to the client partner, usually when employment candidates start their employment.
Retained search placement revenues - Any revenues from these workforce solutions are recognized based on the contractual amount for services completed to date which best depicts the transfer of control of services, which is less than 1% of consolidated revenues.
The Company estimates the effect of placement candidates who do not remain with its client partners through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances, recorded as a liability, are established to estimate these losses. Fees to client partners are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for placement workforce solutions are charged to employment candidates. These assumptions determine the timing of revenue recognition for the reported period.
Refer to Note 17 for disaggregated revenues by segment.
Payment terms in the Company's contracts vary by the type and location of its client partner and the workforce solutions offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 27, 2020. There were no revenues recognized during Fiscal 2020 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods. There are no contract costs capitalized. The Company did not recognize any contract impairments during Fiscal 2020.
Advertising
The Company recognizes advertising expense in selling, general and administrative expenses as the services are incurred. Total advertising expense for Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $ 1.7 million, $ 1.9 million, and $ 1.9 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options or restricted stock that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Antidilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.
The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods:
December 27,
2020 December 29,
2019 December 30,
2018
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding: 10,311,606 10,238,565 9,577,498
Effect of dilutive securities:

Warrants 25,862 — —
Antidilutive shares 449,212 238,750 175,000
Income Taxes
The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. The Company recognizes any penalties when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 27, 2020, goodwill of $ 31.6 million, which is limited annually, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts are classified net as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. As of December 27, 2020, the Company has a $ 6.5 million net operating loss carry forward from the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition with no expiration date.
When appropriate, the Company will record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based in part upon management’s judgments regarding future events and past operating results. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized and thus, believes that a valuation allowance is not required as of December 27, 2020 or December 29, 2019.
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which provides guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the Step 2 procedure from the goodwill impairment test. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning with the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company early adopted this ASU in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) and ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), respectively. Together, ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other arrangements that are expected to be impacted by the global transition away from certain reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, towards new reference rates. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and, once adopted, may be applied prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, if adopted, and currently does not expect that it would be material.

NOTE 10 - DEBT
On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), maturing July 16, 2024, led by BMO, as lead administrative agent, lender, letters of credit issuer, and swing line lender. The Credit Agreement provides for the Revolving Facility permitting the Company to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount up to $ 35 million. The Credit Agreement also provided for a term loan commitment (the “Term Loan”) permitting the Company to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $ 30 million with principal payable quarterly, based on an annual percentage of the original principal amount as defined in the Credit Agreement, all of which has been funded. The Company may from time to time, with a maximum of two , request an increase in the aggregate Term Loan by $ 40 million, with minimum increases of $ 10 million. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement bears interest either at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company also pays an unused commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of Revolving Facility and Term Loan.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company is subject to a maximum Leverage Ratio and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 27, 2020.
On December 13, 2019, the Company borrowed $ 7.5 million on the Term Loan in conjunction with the closing of the LJK acquisition. On February 3, 2020, the Company borrowed $ 18.5 million on the Term Loan in conjunction with the closing of the EdgeRock acquisition. On April 6, 2020, the Company borrowed the remaining $ 4.0 million on the Term Loan and the proceeds were used to pay down the Revolving Facility. The Company borrowed $ 20 million under the Revolving Facility to pay off existing indebtedness of the Company under an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”) and such agreement (and related ancillary documentation) was terminated on July 16, 2019 in connection with such repayment. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $ 0.5 million related to the unamortized deferred finance fees. On February 8, 2021, the Company borrowed $ 3.8 million on the Revolving Facility in conjunction with the closing of the Momentum Solutionz acquisition.

Letter of Credit
In March 2020, in conjunction with the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit arrangement, which expires December 31, 2024, for purposes of protecting a lessor against default on lease payments. As of December 27, 2020, the Company had a maximum financial exposure from this standby letter of credit totaling $ 0.1 million, all of which is considered usage against the Revolving Facility. The Company has no history of default, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under, any of these arrangements, and believes that the resolution of any disputes thereunder that might arise in the future would not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in respect to these arrangements as of December 27, 2020.
Line of Credit
At December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, $ 6.0 million and $ 20.3 million, respectively, was outstanding on the revolving facilities. Average daily balance for Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $ 11.7 million, $ 16.5 million, and $ 15.6 million, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedge
In April 2020, the Company entered into a pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swap agreement with our bank syndicate led by BMO that reduces the floating interest rate component on the Term Loan obligation. The $ 25.0 million notional amount was effective on June 3, 2020 and designed as a cash flow hedge on the underlying variable rate interest payments against a fixed interest rate that terminates on June 1, 2023. In accordance with cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the Company has determined that the hedge is perfectly effective using the change-in-variable-cash-flow method.

BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unrealized gains or losses associated with the change in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company reclassifies the interest rate swap from accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss against interest expense in the same period in which the hedge transaction affects earnings. Hedge effectiveness is tested quarterly. As of December 27, 2020, the instrument was perfectly effective and no additional amounts were reclassed from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income for Fiscal 2020. See Note 11 for location on the balance sheet.
NOTE 11 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value and establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities - includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs - includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy:
Amounts Recorded at Fair Value Financial Statement Classification Fair Value Hierarchy December 27,
2020 December 29,
2019
Interest rate swap Other long-term liabilities Level 2 $ 122,874 $ —
Contingent consideration, net Contingent consideration, net - current and long-term Level 3 $ 2,287,926 $ 2,174,378
The changes in the Level 2 fair value measurements from December 29, 2019 to December 27, 2020 relates to entering into an interest rate swap agreement. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the interest rate swap as of December 27, 2020 are quoted prices from BMO (See Note 10).
The changes in the Level 3 fair value measurements from December 29, 2019 to December 27, 2020 relate to $ 0.2 million in accretion and gains included in earnings. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019 included the discount rate of 7.5 % as well as management's estimates of future sales volumes and earning before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
NOTE 12 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of the loss can be made.
The Company insures against, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of various insurance policies, claims or losses from workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, professional liability, employment practices, fiduciary liability, fidelity losses, crime and cyber risk, and director and officer liability. Under the Company's bylaws, the Company’s directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. The Company also has an insurance policy for our directors and officers to insure them against liabilities arising from the performance of their positions with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers.

Impact of COVID-19
Our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted in material respects by COVID-19 and by related government actions, non-governmental organization recommendations, and public perceptions, all of which have led and may continue to lead to disruption in global economic and labor markets. These effects have had a significant impact on our business, including reduced demand for our workforce solutions, early terminations or reductions in projects, and hiring freezes, and a shift of a majority of our workforce to remote operations, all of which have contributed to a decline in revenues and other significant adverse impacts on our financial results.
Other potential impacts of COVID-19 may include continued or expanded closures or reductions of operations with respect to our client partners’ operations or facilities, the possibility our client partners will not be able to pay for our workforce solutions, or that they will attempt to defer payments owed to us, either of which could materially impact our liquidity, the possibility that the uncertain nature of the pandemic may not yield the increase in certain of our workforce solutions that we have historically observed during periods of economic downturn, and the possibility that various government-sponsored programs to provide economic relief may be inadequate. Further, we may continue to experience adverse financial impacts, some of which may be material, if we cannot offset revenue declines with cost savings through expense-related initiatives, human capital management initiatives, or otherwise. As a result of these observed and potential developments, we expect our business, results of operations, and financial condition to continue to be negatively affected.
Employment Agreements
The CEO’s employment agreement was effective as of October 1, 2018 and shall continue through September 30, 2021.

Additionally, she will become 100% vested in any awards outstanding under the the Company's 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, (“2013 Plan”) or similar plan. Should there be a sale of the Company that results in the termination of her employment or a material adverse change in her duties and responsibilities, she will be entitled to all of the amounts listed above, however, base salary shall equal eighteen months.
The CFO’s employment agreement was effective as of October 1, 2018 and shall continue through September 30, 2021.

Treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded.
NOTE 14 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
In December 2013, the board of directors adopted the original 2013 Plan. Under the original 2013 Plan team members, directors and consultants of the Company may receive incentive stock options and other awards. A total of 900,000 shares of common stock of BGSF, Inc. were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the original 2013 Plan. On November 3, 2020 and May 16, 2017, stockholders of the Company approved and made effective amendments to the 2013 Plan, which each added an additional 250,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. To the extent any option or award expires unexercised or is canceled, terminated or forfeited in any manner without the issuance of common stock thereunder, such shares shall again be available for issuance under the original 2013 Plan. As of December 27, 2020, a total of 1,088,739 shares remain available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.
The term of each option is determined by the board of directors but cannot exceed 10 years. Unless otherwise specified in an option agreement, options vest and become exercisable on the following schedule: 20 % immediately and 20 % on each anniversary date of the grant date. Each option shall be designated as an incentive stock option (“ISO”) or a non-qualified option (“NQO”). The exercise price of an ISO shall not be less than the fair market value of the stock covered by the ISO at the grant date; provided, however, the exercise price of an ISO granted to any person who owns, directly or indirectly, stock of the Company constituting more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company, shall not be less than 110% of such fair market value.
The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions in the following table. Because this option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed below. The Company bases the estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatilities of the Company for a period equal to the expected life of the option.
The risk-free rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company expects to use historical data to estimate team member termination within the valuation model; separate groups of team members that have similar historical termination behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.
On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a stock option cancellation agreement (the “Option Cancellation Agreement”) with L. Allen Baker, Jr., the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Baker $ 18.00 per share of common stock underlying his vested in-the-money stock options granted under the Company’s 2013 Plan, less the exercise price per share thereof, in exchange for the cancellation and termination of such stock options. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Cancellation Agreement, the Company paid $ 3.3 million to Mr. Baker in exchange for the cancellation of 284,888 stock options granted to him under the 2013 Plan.
For Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $ 0.5 million, $ 0.7 million and $ 0.6 million of compensation expense related to stock awards, respectively. Unamortized share-based compensation expense as of December 27, 2020 amounted to $ 0.9 million which is expected to be recognized over the next 2.5 years.
