NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim information and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  The September 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.
2010 of General Employment Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance which amended the existing guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The guidance also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity, and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the guidance requires any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity to provide enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2010 but the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance which amends the disclosures regarding fair value guidance.  This guidance was issued in response to requests from financial statement users for additional information about fair value measurements.  Under the new guidance,

A reporting entity is now required to disclose separately the amounts of, and reasons for, significant transfers (1) between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and (2) into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the reconciliation of Level 3 measurements.

A reporting entity is no longer permitted to adopt a policy recognizing transfers into Level 3 as of the beginning of the reporting period and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.  Rather, an entity must disclose and follow a consistent policy for determining when transfers between levels are recognized.

This guidance became effective for the Company on October 1, 2010, except the required disclosures regarding the Level 3 investments, which will not become effective for the Company until October 1, 2011.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance regarding additional disclosures of Level 3 investments to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement was subject to certain conditions, including entry into a definitive management and services agreement for the management by the Company of the businesses of certain affiliates of DMCC, RFFG of Cleveland and Mr. Bean (the “Management Agreement”). by the Company.  On November 30, 2010, Business Management Personnel, Inc. (“BMP”), an indirecta wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Management Agreement, effective as of November 1, 2010, with RFFG, LLC (“RFFG”). (Refer to Entry into Management Agreement footnote below for further description).

The assets purchased related tofrom RFFG of Cleveland and DMCC constitute businesses and as such the acquisition of these assets were accounted for as a business combination. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue $2,400,000 in shares of its common stock (5,581,395 shares based on the December 30, 2010 closing date) to DMCC and RFFG of Cleveland upon receipt of (a) stockholder approval of the transaction and of an increase to the Company’s authorized Common Stock and (b) approval of an additional listing application by the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange (5,581,395Exchange. On March 24, 2011, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of shareholders from the holders of 71.8% of the shares based onof Common Stock, (i) approving the December 30, 2010 closing date).issuance of 5,581,395 shares of the Common Stock to DMCC Staffing and RFFG of Cleveland pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock to DMCC and RFFG of Cleveland as may be necessary pursuant to certain earn-out payment provisions under the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (ii) approving an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 20,100,000 shares to 50,100,000 shares and to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

In addition, commencingCommencing in 2011, if the aggregate EBITDA of the business acquired.acquired, including any management fees earned bypaid to the Company under the Management Agreement meets certain targets (each, an “EBITDA Target”) over a four-year period ending December 31, 2014 (the “Earnout Period”), the Company will be required to make earn-out payments to DMCC and RFFG of Cleveland, each payable in three equal installments.   In the event that an EBITDA Target for a certain period is not met, the earn-out payment in respect ofto such period will be reduced proportionately.  The EBITDA Targets will beare $300,000, $600,000, $900,000 and $1,200,000 for each of the three-, six-, nine- and twelve-month periods, respectively, in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, and earn-out payments will consist of quar terlyquarterly payments of $150,000, payable in three equal monthly installments, if the relevant EBITDA Targets are met. Starting in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the EBITDA Targets will be adjusted annually to reflect the EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on December 31st of the most recently completed fiscal year (each, an “Annual EBITDA Target”) and earn-out payments for the year will be adjusted to equal 50% of the relevant Annual EBITDA Target divided by four. At the end of each fiscal year during the Earnout Period, if the aggregate EBITDA for the 12-month period then ended is greater than the Annual EBITDA Target for such year, then the Company will pay to DMCC and RFFG of Cleveland the amount of such excess, 50% in cash and 50% in shares of common stock.

The accounting guidance requires that contingent consideration be added to the purchase price and the resultant liability be recorded at fair value.  Given the terms of the earn-out provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, , the Company believes that the earn-out will be paid and accordingly, has included the fair value of the projected total earn-out payments in the total consideration paid for the acquisition.  Through March 31, 2011, there has been no change in the estimated fair value of the earnout consideration to be paid.  The total consideration paid is summarized as follows:

In Thousands   
    
Stock consideration $2,400 
Earn-out consideration  2,198 
     
Total consideration for acquisition $4,598

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to further refinement based upon completion of asset valuations.  The results of operations of DMCC and RFFG of Cleveland are included in the Company’s statement of operations from the effective date of the acquisition, November 1, 2010.

In connection with the application of purchase accounting, the Company recorded its identifiable intangible assets at fair value. Fair value of the intangible assets was determined primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow analysis projected the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the underlying assets and discounted these at a rate reflecting perceived business and financial risks. The projected cash flow estimates used in the discounted cash flow analysis are based on management’s best estimate and actual results may differ. The valuation of these intangible assets is based predominately on Level 3 inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, included quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Acquisition of On-Site Services, Inc.

On June 1, 2010, the Company, through its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary Triad Personnel Services, Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “On-Site Asset Purchase Agreement”) with On-Site Services, Inc.

Bean..Bean.  On-Site is located in Florida and provides labor and human resource solutions, including temporary staffing, human resources, labor and employment consulting and workforce solutions to the agricultural industry. Pursuant to the the On-Site Asset Purchase Agreement, upon On-Site’s direction, the Company issued  1,476,015 shares of its common stockCommon Stock (no par value) to Big Red Investments Partnership, Ltd, an affiliate of On-Site (based on a stated value of $600,000 divided by the average share price of the 20 consecutive trading days prior to th ethe second trading day prior to the closing of the On-Site Asset Purchase Agreement).  For accounting purposes, the common stockshares of Common Stock issued were valued at approximately $487,000 based on the quoted market price on the closing date.  Under the On-Site Asset Purchase Agreement, if the aggregate EBITDA of the business acquired meets certain targets over a period of four years, the Company will be required to make earn-out payments to On-Site totaling up to $1,020,000, $600,000 of which is payable in cash and $420,000 of which is payable in cash or common stock,Common Stock, or any combination thereof, in the Company'’sCompany’s sole discretion. The Company has determined the fair value of the contingent consideration that could be paid under the earn-out  provisions of the On-Site Asset Purchase Agreement is zero based on the estimated probability of any payment being made under this earn-out arrangement. Therefore, at the date of the acquisition, no value has been assigned to the contingent considerati on.consideration. Any subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration will be recorded in the Company’s statement of operations.  Through DecemberMarch 31, 2010,2011, there have been no changes in the estimated fair value of the potential earn-out consideration.  In addition, the Company also provided the seller,principal, Thomas JJ. Bean, of On-Site Inc a non-interest bearing advance of $300,000 on June 1, 2010, which was fully repaid by June 30, 2010.

The loan was secured by accounts receivable and other property of the Company.  Interest was charged at the rate of 1% above the prime rate.  Interest expense under this agreement was $4,500 for the quarter ended Decembersix months end March 31, 2010.2011.  In addition, the agreement required a maintenance fee of $3,500 per month and an annual loan fee of 1% of the maximum borrowing amount under the agreement. The Company incurred $29,000 of fees related to this agreement during the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2010.2011.  The term of the agreement was for three years or earlier upon demand by Crestmark, and was to be renewed automatically for consecutive two year terms unless terminated by either party.

In December 2010, the Company terminated its agreement with Crestmark Bank and entered into a two year $3 million$3,000,000 account purchase agreement (“AR Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The AR Credit Facility provides for borrowings, on a revolving basis, of up to 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable less than 90 days old and bears interest at a rate equal to the three month LIBOR plus 5.25% (effective rate was 5.55%6.59% as of DecemberMarch 31, 2010.2011.) Under the terms and subject to the conditions in the agreement, Wells Fargo may determine which receivables are eligible receivables, may determine the amount it will advance on any such receivables, and may require the Company to repay advances made on receivables and thereby repay amounts outstanding under the AR Credit Facility. Wells Fargo also has the right to require the Company to repurchase receivables that remain outstanding 90 days past their invoice date. The Company continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased. The Company will carry the receivables and any outstanding borrowings on its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company will carry the receivables and any outstanding borrowings on its consolidated balance sheet.
