NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (OTCBB:CRRS), a national provider of diversified staffing, recruiting and consulting services, today reported results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Companya™s quarterly results were materially impacted by its acquisition of certain assets of GT Systems on April 5, 2010.

Revenues for the third quarter increased to $32.5 million from $12.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase of approximately 150% is primarily attributable to revenues generated as a result of the acquisition by the Company of certain assets of GT Systems. Since the acquisition, the acquired business has been operated by the Companya™s wholly owned subsidiary, Corporate Resource Development (CRD). The balance of the increase is attributable to additional demand from existing customers, which the Company attributes to improvements in the industry as well as the Companya™s ordinary business cycle.

Direct cost of services increased for the quarter to $25.9 million from approximately $11.1 million in the 2009 comparable period, an increase of approximately 130%. The increase in direct cost of services is a direct result of the increase in business and revenue. Gross profit increased by approximately 310% to $6.6 million from $1.6 million. The Companya™s gross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as a percentage of revenues, was approximately 20%, as compared with a 13% gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in gross profit and in margins was a result of the gross profit generated from the higher margin CRD business following the April acquisition, all of which was realized during the third fiscal quarter.

The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $736,000, or ($.03) per share, versus a net loss of $75,000, or $.00 per share in the 2009 period. The increase in net loss was due to increases in marketing, selling and administrative expenses due to the acquisition, transaction costs associated with the acquisition and increases in interest expense due to acquisition financing incurred during the quarter.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, revenues totaled $60.1 million, as compared to $42.3 million for the comparable period during fiscal 2009. Direct cost of services for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $50,747,000, as compared to $36,770,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenues and direct costs of services were the result of the operations of CRD following the GT acquisition.

Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $9,360,000 (15.5% of consolidated revenues), as compared to $5,545,000 (13% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $3,815,000 and the increase in gross profit as a percentage of consolidated revenues are primarily attributable to the gross profit generated by CRD, which was offset somewhat by pricing pressures in the Companya™s other lines of business during the period.

The company reported a net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 of $3,326,000, or ($.13) per share, as compared with a net loss of $568,000, or ($.01) per share, for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase in net loss was due primarily to increases in marketing, selling and administrative expenses, transaction and interest expenses associated with the acquisition of certain assets of GT Systems, and losses of approximately $1.4 million recorded on exchanges of outstanding debt for equity, reported by the Company previously.

Jay Schecter, CEO of the Company, said, aWe closed the acquisition of certain assets of GT Systems in early April, and this is the first quarter that our results include the operations of the acquired business. Our results are in line with our expectations, as we continue with the process of integrating the operations of this significant acquisition with our existing business. We believe the Company is now, and in the near future will continue to be, positioned to be a significant player in the staffing marketplace, as we continue to seek out acquisitions on favorable terms that will expand our presence in existing markets, as well as give us a foothold in attractive new markets throughout the country. We are also making investments in our sales organization which are critical and believe will show significant returns in future periods.a
