Fiscal 2009 Business Development

    Sale of the Company's Value Added Reseller ("VAR") Assets

        We entered into and closed on an asset sale agreement on August 4, 2009 for our VAR operations. In consideration for the assets sold, which were primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, we received $3.0 million in cash at closing and, based on the number of customer contract assignments received prior to December 31, 2009, we earned an additional $0.5 million in cash payable to us in August 2010 which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded a gain on the sale of the net assets of $0.1 million in fiscal 2009.

        We believe the sale of the VAR assets will significantly impact our future operations. For fiscal 2009, the VAR operations generated revenues of approximately $21.4 million and had an unfavorable contribution margin of approximately $0.7 million.

Customer Information

        Approximately 95 percent of our annual revenue is from services and products provided to our existing customer base, which consists primarily of Fortune 500® companies. This high percentage of repeat business demonstrates our commitment to customer satisfaction and the development of long-term relationships with customers who have an ongoing need for the types of services we provide. Many of our customer relationships go back more than a decade, some as far back as 25 years.

        We provide services to a wide range of industries. Excluding the VAR operations, our revenue for fiscal 2009 was derived from services rendered to customers in the following industry groups:

 
  Approximate
Percent of Fiscal
2009 Revenue
 

Manufacturing

    35.5 %

Government

    17.3 %

Business & Technology Services

    14.4 %

Energy

    10.6 %

Finance & Insurance

    5.1 %

Communications

    5.0 %

Retail

    3.9 %

Utilities

    3.2 %

Healthcare

    2.4 %

Other

    2.6 %

        We provided services to more than 500 customers during fiscal 2009. Consistent with practices in prior years, we rendered these services predominantly on a time and materials hourly rate basis under which invoices for services rendered were typically submitted no less frequently than monthly.

        International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") has been a significant customer of ours for many years and represents the only customer relationship we have that exceeds 10% of our total revenue. The services we provide to IBM are predominantly in the area of IT staffing. The IBM business accounted for approximately 11%, 13% and 14% of our total revenue for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Sales and Operations

        We provide our services principally at customer locations with the support from 17 local and regional sales and delivery offices throughout the United States. Our sales personnel serve customers in local markets as well as on a national basis and generally have over ten years of experience in our industry. Our sales and delivery personnel utilize the services performed by our centralized sales support and administrative functions.

        Our compensation programs for sales and recruiting personnel are intended to provide incentives for higher margin business and the delivery against our designated strategic business development goals.

Personnel

        Our business is dependent on our ability to attract and retain talented personnel to serve our customers. Our staff consists of 1,015 personnel. Of these, 878 are IT professionals and 137 are individuals who work in sales, recruiting, management, delivery, administrative and support positions. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are represented by a labor union. AIC is an equal opportunity employer.

Table of Contents

Competition

        We compete with the computer consulting and/or IT staffing divisions of several large companies (including Adecco (Ajilon), MPS Group (Modis), TEKsystems, and Spherion) on a national basis. These organizations are substantially larger than us in terms of sales volume and personnel and have substantially greater financial resources.

        We also compete with other national IT services companies such as Computer Task Group, Comforce, Ciber, Inc., Comsys IT Partners, Tech Team Global and RCM Technologies, Inc.

        Our branch offices compete in local markets with numerous regional and local IT services firms. Most of these competitors are approximately the same size as or smaller than our local office, although in certain market areas they are larger than our local office.

        Principal competitive factors in the IT services business include technical expertise, the ability to hire quality technical personnel on a timely basis, responsiveness to customers' staffing needs in a broad spectrum of skill sets, reputation, credibility, service delivery models and tools, and bill rates. We believe we are competitive in all these respects.

Available Information

        We maintain our website at www.analysts.com and make available, free of charge, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, in the Investor Relations section of the website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Other Matters

        Our principal executive office is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Raw materials, seasonality, compliance with environmental protection laws, and patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, research and development and other concessions are not material to an understanding of our business. No portion of our business is subject to re-negotiation of profits at the election of the government. No material governmental approval is required for any of our principal products and services and no existing or probable governmental regulations are material to an understanding of our business. Backlog is not material because nearly all of the Company's contracts for services, including contracts with the government (which in the aggregate are not material), are terminable by either the customer or the Company on notice of 30 days or less.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

The economic downturn has had a negative effect on our business, causing our revenues to decline and adversely affecting our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

        The financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 made conducting our business more difficult. The economic recession of 2008 and 2009 caused some of our customers to reduce their spending related to technology, which resulted in (and may continue to result in) reductions in our business. Our results of operations are affected by the level of business activity of our customers, which in turn, is affected by the local, regional and global economic conditions in which they operate. If our customers reduce, delay or cancel spending on their IT projects or infrastructure, that decision could result in a reduction in sales of our services and products, longer sales cycles and increased competition. There can be no assurances that the recession has, in fact, ended or that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will restore spending to previous levels. A continuation or worsening of the economic downturn could negatively affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, we may not be able to benefit from the strengthening in business activity levels experienced by some of our competitors during the fourth quarter of 2009 and expected during 2010. If so, our revenues, gross margins and earnings per share could continue to be depressed.

        Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our customers. We evaluate the financial condition of our customers, bill the customers, and typically collect amounts due from our clients. We maintain allowances against receivables, but actual losses on customers balances could differ from those estimates. In addition, timely collection of customers balances depends on the business health of our customers. As a result, any continuance or worsening of the economic downturn could result in our clients seeking to extend payment terms, delay payments or to enter into bankruptcy or liquidation, any of which would negatively affect our ability to collect client balances on a timely basis which would negatively affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, we depend on several large customers for a significant portion of our revenues and, generally, do not provide services to our customers under the terms of long-term contracts. Termination or reduction of services as a result of the economic downturn by one or more of our large customers could adversely affect our business.

Intense competition within the IT staffing industry may result in a loss of market share or lower bill rates, both of which could adversely affect our business.

        The market for our services is extremely competitive and fragmented. Intense price competition in the area of IT staffing, continued pressure on billing and customers' continued requests for discounts, rebates and price concessions involving lower cost models for IT staffing services will continue to exert downward pressure on our operating results and could adversely affect our operating results. Management expects that our customers will continue, for the foreseeable future, to request lower cost offerings for IT staffing services through e-procurement systems, extremely competitive bidding processes, the granting of various types of discounts, engagement of vendor management organizations and the use of offshore resources, all of which tend to lower our gross margins. Our ability to respond to customer requests for lower pricing or to provide other low-cost solutions in this area of our business will have a direct effect on our performance. If we are unable to maintain or increase (a) the number of hours billed by our consultants, (b) their current billing and/or utilization rates or (c) the gross margins we realize from their work, our financial results will be negatively affected. Additionally, stiff competition, especially in our core IT staffing business, may also require us to accept less favorable contractual terms, especially in the area of limitations on liability (with respect to both direct and consequential damages) and indemnification. We are also experiencing pressure from some customers who desire to utilize companies with larger market capitalization than ours for their IT staffing needs.

Table of Contents

        Additionally, many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do and as a result, may be able to adjust to changing market conditions and respond to customer demands more effectively. They may also have greater resources to devote to the development of new technologies, products and services. It is possible that new competitors, alliances among competitors or alliances between competitors and third parties may emerge and acquire significant market share. If this were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We expect highly competitive conditions in the market for IT staffing services to continue for the foreseeable future.

Our success is directly dependent on our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified technical personnel. Increased competition for these individuals may adversely affect our business.

        Our ability to quickly identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified technical personnel, especially during an economic recovery, will affect our results of operations and our ability to grow in the future. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and consultant turnover can be high. Further, we may face increases in employment-related costs for our consultants, such as higher health care and unemployment taxes. If we are unable to hire or retain the talent required by our customers in a timely, cost-effective manner and with mutually beneficial pay rates and benefit packages, it will affect our ability to operate our business and stabilize or improve our financial performance.

We do not maintain an "offshore" outsourcing center to provide lower-cost IT services to our customers.

        The use of "offshore" outsourcing and development centers, particularly in India, has become relatively commonplace for domestic providers of IT services. The use of offshore IT service providers has tended to slow growth in domestic IT staff augmentation revenue for companies such as ours. Further, a significant amount of IT staffing and project work has been replaced by offshore resources. At present, we do not have an "offshore" outsourcing or development center and do not have any strategic alliances with a partner to provide offshore alternatives. This may adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability.

We may be unsuccessful in restoring the company to profitability and increasing shareholder value.

        Our current strategic plan includes the attainment of several objectives including:

    restore profitability;

    achieve industry standard gross margins;

    increase revenues;

    close fiscal 2010 with 1,000 IT staffing professionals; and

    build cash to invest in our future strategy;

        We were not successful in achieving our goal of increasing revenue and achieving profitability during fiscal 2009. The improvements achieved in our gross margins have been attenuated by the lower volumes of business and the effect of the economic downturn. If we are unable to increase our revenues or achieve one or more of the other objectives listed above, we may fail to restore profitability and increase shareholder value.

Our ability to manage our working capital and our credit facility is critical to our success.

        From time to time, our operations may require more cash than is available from operations. In these circumstances, it may be necessary to borrow from credit facilities. Our ability to obtain financing in the future through credit facilities will be affected by several factors including our creditworthiness, our ability to operate in a profitable manner and general market and credit conditions. An inability to

8


Table of Contents


obtain additional working capital on terms reasonably acceptable to us or access to our existing credit facility, should it be required, could have an adverse material effect on our business. We believe our working capital and the availability under our existing credit facility will be sufficient for the foreseeable needs of our business. Significant changes in our business or cash outflows from operations could create a need for additional working capital. We may be unable to obtain necessary financing on terms reasonably acceptable to us. Reflecting a concern about the recent stability of the financial markets generally, some lenders and institutional investors have reduced funding to borrowers. A lack of available credit or continued reduced business activity could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to obtain and manage our liquidity.

        Our ability to maintain and invest in our business requires sufficient bank credit lines to support short-term borrowings. If we are unable to continue to access the capital markets through short-term borrowings, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. Our $15.0 million credit line, which expires on September 30, 2012, includes a number of significant financial and operating restrictions. For example, the total amount available for borrowing under the facility fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable and is subject to reduction at the discretion of the lender. These provisions may limit our ability to conduct our business, take advantage of business opportunities and respond to changing business, market and economic conditions. In addition, they may place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other companies that may be subject to fewer, if any, restrictions on may otherwise adversely affect our business. Failure to comply with the requirements of our credit agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel or the inability to attract key personnel could weaken our ability to deliver quality services and could adversely affect our business.

        We are substantially dependent on certain key employees and we are dependent on the services of our executive management team to direct efforts related to execution of our strategic plans. We are also dependent on certain personnel to maintain critical existing customer relationships and attract new business. The loss of one or more of these key personnel could have an adverse effect on our operations, including our ability to execute our strategic plans, maintain existing customer relationships or attract new customers in the context of changing economic or competitive conditions. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel to perform these services, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Global Market's continued listing requirements, including a minimum price per share of $1.00, our common stock may be delisted, which would likely impair the liquidity and the value of our common stock

        On September 15, 2009, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualification department indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Bid Price Rule"). In accordance with the Bid Price Rule, we have 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance.

        We currently do not meet the initial listing requirements for the transfer of the listing of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, our Board of Directors has approved a one for five reverse stock split intended to allow us to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, with an effective date of February 26, 2010.

        To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum period of 10 consecutive business days. Based on the recent average closing price of our common stock, we anticipate the reverse stock split will initially result in a market price for our common stock of approximately $2.50. There can be no guarantee that our common stock will continue

9


Table of Contents


to trade at or above this price or that the reverse stock split will ultimately prevent us from being delisted. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by March 15, 2010. Nasdaq will provide us with written notification that our securities are subject to delisting, which we could then appeal to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules.

        If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market, and we remain unable to transfer the listing of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market, trading in our common stock would likely be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a regulated quotation service. If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity of our common stock may be reduced, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts' and the media's coverage of us. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock. Delisting could also result in a loss of confidence by our suppliers, customers and employees.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to various factors discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the "Risk Factors" described in Item 1A.

    A.
    Our Business

        Analysts International Corporation ("AIC," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is an information technology (IT) services company. We employ approximately 1,000 professionals and are focused on serving the information technology needs of mid-market to Fortune 500 companies and government agencies across North America. AIC was incorporated in Minnesota in 1966 and our corporate headquarters is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    B.
    Consequences and Challenges of the Economic Environment on Our Business

        The sharp contraction in the U.S. economy that began in the second half of fiscal 2008 and continued through 2009 has had a significant and continuing impact on our business. The effects of this economic recession have presented significantly greater challenges than we previously anticipated, accelerating downward pressures on our revenues, margins, results of operations and cash flows. We expect the ongoing impact of the economic recession to continue to impact us and our customers into fiscal 2010 and expect operating losses to continue through the first half of fiscal 2010. The objectives of our 2010 strategic plan call for us to emerge as a stronger, more institutionally mature business that can serve as a platform for future growth. However, if the economic downturn worsens or extends significantly into the future or we are unsuccessful in executing on the objectives of our 2010 strategic plan, we would expect to incur additional losses from operations and reductions in our cash flows and liquidity.

    C.
    Fiscal 2010 Strategic Plan

        Our primary goal for fiscal 2010 is to achieve profitability and return value to our shareholders. In order to achieve that goal, our fiscal 2010 strategy emphasizes growing our core IT staffing business, accelerating the execution of sales and recruiting, controlling costs and delivering profitable financial results.

        Our 2010 objectives in support of our strategy are as follows:

    1.
    Increase revenue;

    2.
    End fiscal 2010 with 1,000 billable consultants;

    3.
    Achieve industry standard gross margin rates;

    4.
    Become a profitable company; and

    5.
    Build cash to invest in our strategy.

    Increase revenue

    We have over 40 years of experience in IT staffing and enjoy long-standing relationships with customers across the U.S. We believe rebuilding and strengthening our core IT staffing business is essential to our financial stability and long-term profitability.

Table of Contents

    End fiscal 2010 with 1,000 billable consultants

    We ended fiscal 2009 with 878 billable consultants. Our objective is to have 1,000 billable consultants by the end of fiscal 2010. This increase in billable staff will require us to execute on our sales strategy, build world-class recruiting capabilities and expand our low-cost sourcing model.

    Achieve industry standard gross margin rates

    In fiscal 2009, we increased our gross margin rate 230 basis points to 20%. In fiscal 2010, we will implement pricing and margin policies and procedures that are designed to continue to increase our gross margin rates.

    Become a profitable company

    Growing our revenues, improving our gross margin rate and reducing our SG&A through continued process improvements and cost reductions should allow us to achieve profitability and provide additional operating capital to support our business and fund future growth.

    Build cash to invest in our strategy

    By focusing on our core competency, increasing the number of billable consultants, improving our margins and controlling expenses, we should be able to build additional cash. Building our cash balance is necessary to mitigate the financial risks if the economy recovers more slowly than expected but it will also enable us to further invest in our strategy and provide us with the opportunity to take advantage of market opportunities.

    D.
    Business Developments

        Sale of the Company's Value Added Reseller ("VAR") Assets

        In line with our objective of exiting non-strategic or non-core lines of businesses, we entered into and closed on an asset sale agreement on August 4, 2009 for our VAR operations.

        In consideration for the assets sold, which were primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, we received $3.0 million in cash at closing and, based on the number of customer contract assignments received prior to December 31, 2009, we earned an additional $0.5 million in cash payable to us in August 2010 which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded a gain on the sale of the net assets of $0.1 million in fiscal 2009.

        We believe the sale of the VAR assets will significantly impact our future operations. For fiscal 2009, the VAR operations generated revenues of approximately $21.4 million and had an unfavorable contribution margin of approximately $0.7 million.

        In addition, we believe the sale of the VAR assets will help us achieve several of the objectives in support of our business strategy. Exiting the lower margin product reseller operations, which is working capital intensive, should allow us to better manage our balance sheet and cash flows as well as improve our margins. The cash provided by the sale allows us to further invest in our core business offerings. In addition, the sale allowed us to further reduce our general and administrative costs to align our back office operations with the remaining business operations. We also expect lower capital expenditures and related depreciation expense as a result of the sale of assets.

    Sale of the Company's Medical Concepts Staffing ("MCS") Assets

        On September 25, 2009, we entered into and closed on an asset sale agreement for our full service nurse staffing agency operations. In consideration for the assets sold and the liabilities transferred, we received $0.5 million in cash. We recorded a gain on the sale of the net assets of $0.2 million. For fiscal

14


Table of Contents

2009, MCS generated revenues of approximately $2.0 million and had an unfavorable contribution margin of approximately $0.1 million.

    Corporate Restructuring

        During fiscal 2009, we realigned our corporate back office to further reduce our general and administrative costs and shift more of our resources to make the strategic investments required to grow our business and better support our ongoing core operations. In fiscal 2009, we incurred $1.6 million in severance and other severance-related restructuring charges.

        In addition, we incurred office closure/consolidation charges of $2.2 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income) as a result of restructuring six sales and support locations and consolidating our corporate office space.

    New Credit Facility

        On September 30, 2009, we entered into a revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") pursuant to which Wells Fargo will advance up to $15.0 million to us for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit.

    Change in Leadership

        On December 14, 2009, our Board of Directors terminated the employment of Elmer N. Baldwin, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. Mr. Baldwin served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company.

        On December 18, 2009, our Board of Directors appointed Andrew K. Borgstrom as our new President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Borgstrom has been a member of our Board since May 2008 and has more than 25 years of experience in the IT services industry.

    Reverse Stock Split

        On February 11, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a 1-for-5 reverse stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") of our common shares to all holders of record effective February 26, 2010. Each share of our pre-split common shares shall automatically be reclassified and converted into 0.20 shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock on February 26, 2010. Our Board of Directors has authorized an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and on February 26, 2010 our total authorized number of shares shall be reduced to 24,000,000 common shares of the par value of ten cents ($0.10) per share. Until the Reverse Stock Split is effective, our common shares will trade on a pre-split basis.

    Sale of the Company's Managed Staffing Operations and Discontinuance of a Large Staffing Account

        In fiscal 2008, we sold Symmetry Workforce Solutions ("Symmetry"), our managed staffing operations, to COMSYS Information Technology Services, Inc. and discontinued our staffing relationship with one of our large staffing accounts. Together, business through Symmetry and the large staffing account represented approximately $15 million in quarterly revenue and $60 million in annualized revenue.

    Overview of Fiscal 2009 Results

        During fiscal 2009, we focused on increasing our mix of higher margin services, exiting low-margin, non-core lines of business, such as the VAR and MCS, and restructuring our back office operations to reduce our selling, administrative and other expenses.

        For fiscal 2009, our revenues decreased $141.0 million, or 49.6%, primarily due to the negative impact the economic environment has had on the demand for our IT professional services (26.5%) and our planned exit from non-core and low-margin lines of business (23.1%).

        Gross margins as a percent of revenue increased due to the impact of implementing our strategy of exiting low margin lines of business and accounts and the reduction in lower margin product sales.

        SG&A expenses declined in fiscal 2009 due largely to the exit from the VAR operations, the impact of the personnel and facility reductions and due to the overall reduction in business volume. During fiscal 2009, we recorded $3.8 million of restructuring charges comprised of severance and severance related costs and future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income).

        The fiscal 2009 operating results also include a non-cash impairment charge of $2.3 million. The impairment charge is the amount by which the carrying value of our customer lists exceeded the fair value. The customer lists were subsequently sold with the sale of the VAR assets.

        We used cash from operations of $0.4 million and generated cash from investing activities of $2.0 million during fiscal 2009. As of January 2, 2010, we had a cash balance of $3.8 million and no borrowings under our Credit Facility.

    Revenue

        Total revenue from services provided directly declined 39.3% to $131.3 million for fiscal 2009 from $216.5 million for fiscal 2008. The decline in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in the number of billable hours as a result of lower business volumes and the sale of the assets of the VAR operations on August 4, 2009 and MCS operations on September 25, 2009, partially offset by an 3.6% increase in overall billing rates over the prior fiscal year. Our subsupplier revenue, which is mainly pass-through revenue with associated fees, declined by 92.4% in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 due to the sale

17


Table of Contents

of Symmetry early in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and due to lower business volumes on the remaining pass-through revenues. Product sales declined 73.3% to $9.3 million for fiscal 2009 from $35.0 million for fiscal 2008 due to the sale of the assets of the VAR operations and an overall reduction in business volumes.

    Cost of Services Provided Directly

        Cost of services provided directly represents our payroll and benefit costs associated with our billable consultants. This category of expense as a percentage of direct services revenue increased to 79.4% for fiscal 2009 from 78.9% for fiscal 2008 due to the impact of customer bill rate reductions without offsetting consultant pay rate reductions.

    Cost of Services Provided Through Subsuppliers

        Cost of services provided through subsuppliers represents the cost of third parties to fulfill the obligations to our customers. This category of expense as a percentage of revenue for services provided through subsuppliers was 94.5% for fiscal 2009 compared to 96.4% for fiscal 2008. The decrease in expense as a percentage of subsupplier revenue was primarily due to the retention of a higher margin client relationship in fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008.

    Cost of Product Sales

        Cost of product sales represents our cost when we resell technology hardware and software. This category of expense, as a percentage of product sales, was 85.4% for fiscal 2009 compared to 90.3% for fiscal 2008. The decrease in expense as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the reduction of lower margin commodity hardware sales between the comparable periods. Due to the sale of the assets of the VAR operations on August 4, 2009, we no longer resell technology hardware and software and, thus, we do not expect to incur this category of costs in the future.

    Selling, Administrative and Other Operating Costs

        SG&A costs include management and administrative salaries, commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, location costs, benefits for SG&A personnel and other administrative costs. This category of costs decreased 24.4% to $37.9 million for fiscal 2009 from $50.1 million in fiscal 2008. SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to the impact of personnel reductions, the elimination of costs as a result of the VAR and MCS asset sales, the implementation of non-personnel cost reductions and a reduction in sales and recruiting incentive compensation expense due to the decrease in business volume. These amounts represent 26.5% and 17.6% of total revenue for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs increased due to the lower revenue base in fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008.

    Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs

        For fiscal 2009, we recorded workforce reduction charges and office closure and consolidation charges totaling $3.8 million. Of these charges, $1.6 million related to severance and other severance-related costs and $2.2 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income).

        For fiscal 2008, we recorded workforce reduction and office closure and consolidation charges totaling $2.9 million. Of these charges, $2.6 million related to severance and other severance-related costs and $0.3 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income).

    Goodwill Impairment

        In fiscal 2008, we determined that events and changes in circumstances had occurred in our business that would indicate the remaining goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 3, 2009 was impaired. Our forecast for operating results for future periods had declined and we experienced a significant drop in the price of our publicly traded shares. As a result of these two events, we determined it was likely that a reduction in fair value of our reporting units had occurred. Given these indicators of potential impairment, we performed an impairment evaluation as of January 3, 2009 which considered these changes in circumstances. Based upon the results of this analysis, we recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $6.3 million of our remaining goodwill balance.

    Impairment of Intangible Assets

        During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we reviewed our customer lists in accordance with FASB SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (codified in FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment) based on the expectation that the business with which the customer lists are associated would be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Additionally, in determining fair value, we considered the expected consideration to be received from the sale of the VAR assets, which implied the customer lists were impaired. Based on this measurement, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment loss, which is the amount by which the carrying value of the customer lists exceeded the fair value.

    Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization of intangible assets primarily relates to our customer lists. This category of expense decreased during fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 due to the SequoiaNet.com trade name and a related customer list becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2008, the impairment of intangible assets recorded in fiscal 2009 and the sale of the assets of the VAR operations on August 4, 2009 whereby we disposed of the remaining balance of our customer lists intangible asset.

    Non-operating Income

        Non-operating income decreased slightly in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 as a result of less interest income earned from our cash balances due to lower interest rates and lower interest income earned related to a customer equipment lease.

    Interest Expense

        Interest expense decreased to $39,000 for fiscal 2009 from $156,000 for fiscal 2008 due to a decrease in average borrowings from $2.4 million for fiscal 2008 to $13,500 for fiscal 2009. Offset slightly by an increase in interest rates from 3.25% at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 to 3.75% at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

    Income Taxes

        For fiscals 2009 and 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes for amounts due for certain state income taxes and changes in our reserves for tax obligations. We recorded no additional income tax expense or benefit because any tax expense or benefit which would otherwise have been recorded has been negated by adjusting the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. If, however, we successfully return to profitability to a point where future realization of deferred tax assets, which are currently reserved, becomes "more likely than not," we may be required to reverse the existing valuation allowance to realize the benefit of these assets.

19


Table of Contents

    Personnel

        Our IT consulting staff levels finished fiscal 2009 at 878, a 34.9% decline against the comparable prior period. The decline in IT consulting staff levels was due to the sale of assets of our VAR operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and an overall decline in business volume. The decline in management and administrative personnel was due to our focus on reducing the number of management and administrative personnel that are necessary to support the business operations and due to the sale of the VAR operations. The reported IT consulting staff levels for fiscal 2008 exclude MCS, our medical staffing business, due to the separate industry focus of that business.

    Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        As of January 2, 2010, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

    Revenue

        Revenue from services provided directly declined 11.0% from the comparable period a year ago. The decline in revenue was primarily due to our decision to discontinue our relationship with one of our large staffing accounts and a reduction in the number of billable technical consultants which was partially offset by an 8.0% increase in overall billing rates over the prior year. Our subsupplier revenue, which is mainly pass-through revenue with associated fees, declined by 44.0% over the prior year due primarily to the sale of Symmetry early in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Product sales during fiscal 2008 declined by 39.5% over the prior year due to an overall reduction in business volume.

    Cost of Services Provided Directly

        Cost of services provided directly represents our payroll and benefit costs associated with our billable consultants. This category of expense as a percentage of direct services revenue was 78.9% in fiscal 2008 compared to 79.8% in the prior year. The decrease in expense as a percentage of direct services revenue is a result of our focus on delivering a greater level of higher value staffing services. These services are delivered at higher rates which enable us to better leverage the cost of service delivery.

    Cost of Services Provided through Subsuppliers

        Cost of services provided through subsuppliers represents the cost of third parties to fulfill the obligations to our customers. This category of expense as a percentage of revenue for services provided through subsuppliers was 96.4% in fiscal 2008 as compared to 96.0% in the prior year. The increase in the expense as a percentage of subsupplier revenue is a result of increased rates from our subsuppliers.

    Cost of Product Sales

        Cost of product sales represents our cost when we resell technology hardware and software. This category of expense, as a percentage of product sales, was 90.3% in fiscal 2008 compared to 88.6% in the prior year. The increase in expense as a percentage of revenue is a result of the mix of product sales between the comparable periods.

    Selling, Administrative and Other Operating Costs

        SG&A costs include management and administrative salaries, commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, location costs, benefits for SG&A personnel and other administrative costs. This category of costs decreased approximately $8.3 million from fiscal 2007 and represented 17.6% of total revenue for fiscal 2008, compared to 16.2% in fiscal 2007. SG&A expenses decreased primarily as a result of personnel and facility reductions and a reduction in sales and recruiting incentive compensation due to the overall decrease in business volume.

    Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs

        During fiscal 2008, we recorded restructuring and severance related expenses totaling $2.9 million. Of this amount, $2.6 million related to workforce reductions and severance. The remaining $0.3 million related to lease obligations and abandonment costs (net of anticipated sub-lease income) for locations where we have chosen to downsize or exit completely.

        We recorded restructuring and severance related expenses of $3.6 million during fiscal 2007. Of this amount, $3.3 million related to workforce reductions and severance. The remaining $0.3 million related to lease obligations and abandonment costs (net of anticipated sub-lease income) for locations where we have chosen to downsize or exit completely.

    Intangible Assets Impairment

        During fiscal 2007, we determined that the customer list intangible asset, which had been established when Redwood Solutions Corporation was acquired in 2005, had become impaired and recognized an impairment charge of $1.4 million. During fiscal 2007, we also impaired our trade name intangible asset and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $1.5 million.

    Goodwill Impairment

        In fiscal 2008, we determined that events and changes in circumstances had occurred in our business that would indicate the remaining goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of

22


Table of Contents

January 3, 2009 was impaired. Our forecast for operating results for future periods had declined and we experienced a significant drop in the price of our publicly traded shares. As a result of these two events, we determined it was likely that a reduction in fair value of our reporting units had occurred. Given these indicators of potential impairment, we performed an impairment evaluation as of January 3 2009 which considered these changes in circumstances. Based upon the results of this analysis, we recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $6.3 million of our remaining goodwill balance.

        In fiscal 2007, we changed our key business strategies and we experienced a significant drop in the price of our publicly traded shares. As a result of these two events, we determined it was likely that a reduction in fair value of our reporting units had occurred. Given these indicators of potential impairment, we performed an impairment evaluation at December 29, 2007 which considered these changes in circumstances. Based upon the results of this analysis, we recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $5.5 million for fiscal 2007.

    Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization of intangible assets relates primarily to our customer lists. This category of expense decreased due to the write-off of certain intangible assets in fiscal 2007 that were no longer amortized in fiscal 2008.

    Non-Operating Income

        Non-operating income decreased by $0.2 million during fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The prior year included a $0.2 million non-cash item resulting from the return of 124,654 shares of our common stock from an escrow account following the departure of two of the principals of Redwood Solutions Corporation.

    Interest Expense

        Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.2 million for fiscal 2008 due to a decrease in average borrowings to $2.4 million from $4.8 million in fiscal 2007. Additionally, a reduction in interest rates from 7.25% at the end of fiscal 2007 to 3.25% at the end of fiscal 2008 reduced the amount of interest expense.

    Income Taxes

        During fiscal 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes for amounts due for certain state income taxes and changes in our reserves for tax obligations. We recorded no additional income tax expense associated with our net operating losses because any tax expense that would otherwise have been recorded has been negated by adjusting the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. If, however, we successfully return to profitability to a point where future realization of deferred tax assets, which are currently reserved, become "more likely than not," we may be required to reverse our existing valuation allowances to realize the benefit of those assets.

        During fiscal 2007, we recorded $2.6 million of income tax expense, which relates to a $2.6 million increase to the valuation allowance to fully reserve our remaining net deferred tax assets at the end of fiscal 2007.

    Personnel

        Our IT consulting staff levels finished the year at approximately 1,348, a 35.6% reduction from the prior year. The decline in IT consulting staff levels is due to a reduction of approximately 320 billable consultants as a result of the transfer of our existing contract with one of our largest staffing accounts

23


Table of Contents

to other suppliers and an overall decline in business volume. The decline in management and administrative personnel is due to our focus on reducing the number of management and administrative personnel that are necessary to support the business operations. The reported IT consulting staff levels exclude MCS, our medical staffing business, due to the separate industry focus of that business.

    Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        As of January 3, 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

    Change in Working Capital

        Working capital was $15.0 million at January 2, 2010, a $7.8 million reduction from January 3, 2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased by 3.9% from January 3, 2009 to January 2, 2010.

        Our total current assets decreased approximately $16.3 million in fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year as a result of significantly lower accounts receivable offset slightly by an increase in our cash and cash equivalents. Our accounts receivable decreased primarily due to the general decline in business volume and the sale of assets of the VAR operations.

24


Table of Contents

        Our total current liabilities decreased approximately $8.5 million in 2009 compared to the prior year due primarily to the general decline in business volume, the sale of assets of the VAR operations and staff and consultant reductions which were partially offset by an increase in our restructuring reserves. In fiscal 2009, our accounts payable and deferred revenue balances declined approximately $8.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, due to the general decline in business volume and the impact of selling the assets of the VAR operations. The reduction in the number of personnel at the end of fiscal 2009 is primarily responsible for the lower salaries and benefits balance. In addition, the remaining severance and facility payments associated with our fiscal 2009 restructuring activities increased our restructuring accrual balances.

        We believe our existing working capital and availability under our revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") will be sufficient to support the cash flow needs of our business in fiscal 2010. Continuing operating losses, an increase in bad debt experience from our clients, a lengthening of payment terms from our clients, or significant costs associated with additional restructuring activities could create a need for additional working capital. An inability to obtain additional working capital, should it be required, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We expect to be able to comply with the requirements of our credit agreement; however, failure to do so could affect our ability to obtain necessary working capital and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

    Sources and Uses of Cash/Credit Facility

        Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.5 million from January 3, 2009 to January 2, 2010. Our primary need for working capital is to support accounts receivable and to fund the time lag between payroll and vendor disbursements and receipt of fees billed to clients. Historically, we have been able to support internal growth in our business with internally generated funds and through the use of our credit facility.

        On September 30, 2009, we entered into a Credit Facility with Wells Fargo pursuant to which Wells Fargo will advance up to $15.0 million to us for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit. The total amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility will fluctuate based on our level of eligible accounts receivable.

        The Credit Facility carries an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. The Credit Facility has a one-time origination fee of $150,000 which is being amortized over the life of the credit agreement and an unused line fee of 0.50% annually on the daily average unused amount. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is September 30, 2012 and may be terminated or reduced by us on 90 days notice in exchange for a termination fee of 2% of the maximum line amount or reduction of the maximum line amount in the first year or 1% of such amounts in the second year and no fee in the third year. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by all of our assets.

        The Credit Facility requires us to meet certain levels of year-to-date earnings/loss before taxes. Additionally, the Credit Facility limits our annual capital expenditures to $2.0 million and requires us to maintain an excess borrowing base of at least $5.0 million and contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding annual, quarterly and projected financial reporting requirements, collateral and insurance maintenance, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the facility contains customary negative covenants limiting our ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, repurchase our stock, create new subsidiaries, sell assets or engage in any change of control transaction without the consent of Wells Fargo.

        Upon an event of default, Wells Fargo may terminate the facility or declare the entire amount outstanding under the facility to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights under the agreement. The events of default under the facility include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a change in control and bankruptcy events.

Table of Contents

        As of January 2, 2010, we were in compliance with all the requirements and had no borrowing under the Credit Facility. Total availability under the Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $7.2 million as of January 2, 2010.

        On September 30, 2009 upon consummating the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo, we extinguished our previous asset-based revolving credit facility. Extinguishment expenses of $40,000, relating to the remaining deferred financing costs and transaction-related expenses were expensed in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and are included within SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        On August 4, 2009, we entered into and closed on an asset sale agreement for our VAR operations. In consideration for the assets sold, which were primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, we received $3.0 million in cash at closing and based on the number of customer contracts assignments received prior to December 31, 2009, we earned an additional $0.5 million in cash payable to us in August 2010 which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

        On September 25, 2009, we entered into and closed on an asset sale agreement for our MCS operations. In consideration for the assets sold and the liabilities transferred, we received $0.5 million in cash.

        During fiscal 2009, we made capital expenditures totaling $1.3 million compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2008.

        As of January 2, 2010, we had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. If we are successful in reaching profitability, we expect our federal and state net operating loss carry forwards to offset approximately $55.0 million of pretax earnings.

    Contractual Obligations

        We have entered into arrangements that represent certain commitments and have arrangements with certain contingencies. We lease office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, are engaged in license agreements with future commitments, and have deferred compensation that is payable to participants in accordance with the terms of our Restated Special Executive Retirement Plan and other agreements. We incur interest expense on our deferred compensation obligation. Minimum future obligations on operating leases (net of sublease contracts), license agreements, and deferred compensation as of January 2, 2010, are as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates

        The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our

26


Table of Contents


financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the estimates described below are the most sensitive estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements.

    Deferred Tax Assets

        Realization of our net deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to achieve and maintain profitability. Realization of our net deferred tax assets also requires the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the federal and state net operating loss carry forward benefits. In evaluating net deferred tax assets, we are required to make critical accounting estimates regarding our future operating results. These estimates are based on management's current expectations but involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        In each reporting period, we determine the reserve required to address potentially uncollectible accounts. An evaluation of the risk associated with a client's ability to make contractually required payments is used to determine this reserve. These determinations require considerable judgment in assessing the ultimate potential for collection of these receivables and include reviewing the financial stability of the client, the client's ability to pay and current market conditions. If our evaluation of a client's ability to pay is incorrect, we may incur future charges.

    Accrual of Unreported Medical Claims

        In each reporting period, we estimate an amount to accrue for medical costs incurred but not yet reported under our self-funded employee medical insurance plan. We base our determination on an evaluation of past rates of claim payouts and trends in the amount of payouts. This determination requires significant judgment and assumes past patterns are representative of future payment patterns and that we have identified any trends in our claim experience. A significant shift in usage and payment patterns within our medical plans could necessitate significant adjustments to these accruals in future accounting periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgments and uncertainties or affect significant line items within our financial statements and potentially result in materially different outcomes under different assumptions and conditions. Application of these policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the accounting policies described below meet these characteristics.

    Goodwill

        Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible (codified in FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 350") prohibits companies from amortizing purchased goodwill. Instead, we have examined our goodwill at least annually to determine if impairment has occurred. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, we evaluate our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. We performed the annual evaluation of goodwill as of the last day of our monthly accounting period for August 2008. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an impairment charge for the remaining balance of our goodwill.

27


Table of Contents

    Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets consisted of customer lists. We evaluate our customer lists for possible impairment whenever indicators of impairment existed. SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 360") requires that if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, impairment must be recognized in the financial statements. If an asset is deemed to be impaired, then the amount of the impairment loss recognized represents the excess of the asset's carrying value as compared to its estimated fair value, based on management's assumptions and projections. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we sold the assets of our VAR operation, the primary asset of which was the remaining balance of our intangible assets customer lists.

    Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs

        We believe our current estimates regarding severance, other severance related expenses and lease obligations are adequate; however, our inability to sublet the remaining space, negotiate early termination agreements or obtain payments from sub-leases could necessitate significant adjustments to these estimates in the future.

    Revenue Recognition

        We generally recognize revenue as services are performed. This includes staffing services, technology integration services, and outsourcing and advisory services that are billed on an hourly basis. For product sales, except in rare circumstances, we act as the primary obligor in the transaction. Accordingly, except for those rare situations where net revenue reporting is appropriate because we are acting as an agent in the sale of product, product revenue is recorded for the gross amount of the transaction when the products are delivered. Certain of our outsourcing and help desk engagements provide for a specific level of service each month for which we bill a standard monthly fee. Revenue for these engagements is recognized in monthly installments over the period of the contract. In some such contracts we invoice in advance for two or more months of service. When we do this, the revenue is deferred and recognized over the term of the contractual agreement.

        In certain situations, we will contract to sell both product (including third party software and/or hardware) and services in a single client arrangement with multiple deliverables. These arrangements are generally to resell certain products and to provide the service necessary to install such products and optimize functionality of such products. We account for multiple deliverable arrangements involving third party software products under the provisions of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (codified in FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) and have established vendor specific objective evidence of each deliverable. Other non-software related multiple deliverable arrangements are accounted for utilizing the guidelines of ETIF 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition). We account for each of the components of multiple deliverable arrangements separately by using the identified fair values of each component to allocate the total consideration of the arrangement to the separate components.

        In certain client situations, where the nature of the engagement requires it, we utilize the services of other companies in our industry. If these services are provided under an arrangement whereby we agree to retain only a fixed portion of the amount billed to the client to cover our management and administrative costs, we classify the amount billed to the client as subsupplier revenue. These revenues, however, are recorded on a gross versus net basis because we retain credit risk and are the primary obligor to our client. All revenue derived from services provided by our employees or other independent contractors working directly for us are recorded as direct revenue.

        We periodically enter into fixed price engagements. When we enter into such an engagement, revenue is recognized over the life of the contract based on time and materials input to date and

28


Table of Contents


estimate time and materials to complete the project. This method of revenue recognition relies on accurate estimates of the cost, scope, and duration of the engagement. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of the work to be performed, then future revenues may be negatively affected or losses on contracts may need to be recognized. All future anticipated losses are recognized in the period they are identified.

    Income Taxes

        We file a consolidated income tax return in the US federal jurisdiction. We also file consolidated or separate company income tax returns in most states, Canada federal, Ontario province and the United Kingdom. As of January 2, 2010, there are no federal, state, and foreign income tax audits in progress. We are no longer subject to US federal audits for tax years before 2006, and with few exceptions, the same for state and local audits.

        We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

        We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize a portion, or all, of our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance.

        We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740) on December 31, 2006. ASC Topic 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. ASC Topic 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

        We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within interest and penalties expense.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Interpretations

        In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations) which amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations, on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting FSP FAS 141R-1 will depend on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the effective date.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (both codified in FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments) to require an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 would apply to all financial instruments within the scope of

29


Table of Contents


FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and will require entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, in both interim financial statements as well as annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

        In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (codified in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events). FASB Statement No. 165 establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued ("subsequent events"). FASB Statement No. 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. FASB Statement No. 165 provides largely the same guidance on subsequent events which previously existed only in auditing literature. FASB Statement No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 165 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). FASB Statement No. 168 establishes the FASB Standards Accounting Codification ("Codification") as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities and rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification superseded all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards upon its effective date and subsequently, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. FASB Statement No. 168 also replaces FASB Statement No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" given that once in effect, the Codification will carry the same level of authority. FASB Statement No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this FASB Statement No. 168 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Description of business

        Analysts International Corporation ("AIC," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a national information technology (IT) services company with more than 15 U.S. office locations and a small presence in Puerto Rice and Canada. We employ approximately 1,000 professionals and are focused on serving the information technology needs of mid-market to Fortune 500 companies and government agencies across North America. AIC was incorporated in Minnesota in 1966 and our corporate headquarters is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    Basis of presentation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Fiscal year

        Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. References to fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 refer to the fiscal years ended January 2, 2010, January 3, 2009, and December 29, 2007, respectively. Fiscal year 2009 contains 52 weeks, fiscal year 2008 contains 53 weeks and fiscal year 2007 contains 52 weeks. The additional week in fiscal 2008 did not have a material impact on our results of operations.

    Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

    Reclassifications

        To maintain consistency and comparability, we reclassified certain prior-year amounts previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications affect only the grouping of line item balances within current liabilities and non-current liabilities. The reclassifications were deemed immaterial to the financial statements as they did not change the character of any liability and had no effect on total current and non-current liabilities, net income or cash flows.

    Fair value measurements

        Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (codified in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 820") which:

    defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date;

35


Table of Contents


ANALYSTS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

    establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the observability of the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date;

    requires that the use of observable inputs be maximized and the use of unobservable inputs be minimized; and

    expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.

        The adoption of ASC Topic 820 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements or the valuation methods consistently followed by the Company.

        The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument's level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

    Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted market prices.

    Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using observable inputs.

    Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation.

        We also adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (codified in FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments) at the beginning of 2008. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We did not elect the fair value measurement option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value.

    Cash equivalents

        Short-term cash investments in money market accounts are considered to be cash equivalents. The estimated fair values for cash equivalents approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Accordingly, cash equivalents are classified as Level 1.

    Intangible assets

        Intangible assets consisted of customer lists. We evaluated our client lists for impairment whenever indicators of impairment existed. SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, codified in FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 360") requires that if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying

36


Table of Contents


ANALYSTS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

value of the asset, impairment must be recognized in the financial statements. If an asset is deemed to be impaired, then the amount of the impairment loss recognized represents the excess of the asset's carrying value as compared to its estimated fair value, based on management's assumptions and projections.

    Goodwill

        SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible (codified in FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 350") prohibits companies from amortizing purchased goodwill. Instead, we examined our goodwill at least annually to determine if impairment had occurred. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company is required to evaluate its goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The Company performed the annual evaluation of goodwill as of the last day of our monthly accounting period for August 2008. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an impairment charge for the remaining balance of our goodwill.

    Equity compensation

        Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"), (codified in FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 718") which required us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards. We elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC Topic 718. Accordingly, results from prior periods have not been restated. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 include:

    a)
    Compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to December 31, 2005, which were not fully vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of ASC Topic 718; and

    b)
    Compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718.

        In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the presentation of our consolidated statement of cash flows changed to report the excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows.

    Revenue recognition

        We generally recognize revenue as services are performed. This includes staffing services, technology integration services, and outsourcing and advisory services that are billed on an hourly basis. For product sales, except in rare circumstances, we act as the primary obligor in the transaction. Accordingly, except for those rare situations where net revenue reporting is appropriate because we are acting as an agent in the sale of product, product revenue is recorded for the gross amount of the transaction when the products are delivered. Certain of our outsourcing and help desk engagements provide for a specific level of service each month for which we bill a standard monthly fee. Revenue for these engagements was recognized in monthly installments over the period of the contract. In some of

37


Table of Contents


ANALYSTS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

these contracts we invoiced in advance for two or more months of service. When we did this, the revenue was deferred and recognized over the term of the contractual agreement.

        In certain situations, we will contract to sell both product (including third party software and/or hardware) and services in a single client arrangement with multiple deliverables. These arrangements are generally to resell certain products and to provide the service necessary to install such products and optimize functionality of such products. We account for multiple deliverable arrangements involving third party software products under the provisions of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (codified in FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) and have established vendor specific objective evidence of each deliverable. Other non-software related multiple deliverable arrangements are accounted for utilizing the guidelines of ETIF 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition). We account for each of the components of multiple deliverable arrangements separately by using the identified fair values of each component to allocate the total consideration of the arrangement to the separate components.

        In certain client situations, where the nature of the engagement requires it, we utilize the services of other companies in our industry. If these services are provided under an arrangement whereby we agree to retain only a fixed portion of the amount billed to the client to cover our management and administrative costs, we classify the amount billed to the client as subsupplier revenue. These revenues, however, are recorded on a gross versus net basis because we retain credit risk and are the primary obligor to our client. All revenue derived from services provided by our employees or other independent contractors working directly for us are recorded as direct revenue.

        We periodically enter into fixed price engagements. When we enter into such an engagement, revenue is recognized over the life of the contract based on time and materials input to date and estimate time and materials to complete the project. This method of revenue recognition relies on accurate estimates of the cost, scope, and duration of the engagement. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of the work to be performed, then future revenues may be negatively affected or losses on contracts may need to be recognized. All future anticipated losses are recognized in the period they are identified.

    Depreciation

        Property and equipment is being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. See table below for estimated useful lives used in the financial statements.

    Taxes

        We account for our sales tax and any other taxes that are collected from our clients and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. The assessment collection and payment of these taxes are not reflected on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

    Net loss per share

        Basic and diluted losses per share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (codified in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share) herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 260"). Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Options to purchase 3,089,000, 2,443,000, and 1,921,000, shares of common stock were outstanding at the end of fiscal periods 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. All such options were excluded from the computation of common stock equivalents in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 because they were anti-dilutive.

    Significant customer

        Our largest customer, International Business Machines Corporation, represented approximately 11%, 13%, and 14% of our fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007 revenue, respectively.

    Accounting Pronouncement

        In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations) which amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations, on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting FSP FAS 141R-1 will depend on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the effective date.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (both codified in FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments) to require an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 would apply to all financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and will require entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, in both interim financial statements as well as annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

        In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (codified in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events). FASB Statement No. 165 establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued ("subsequent events"). FASB Statement No. 165 sets forth the period after the

balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. FASB Statement No. 165 provides largely the same guidance on subsequent events which previously existed only in auditing literature. FASB Statement No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 165 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). FASB Statement No. 168 establishes the FASB Standards Accounting Codification ("Codification") as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities and rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification superseded all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards upon its effective date and subsequently, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. FASB Statement No. 168 also replaces FASB Statement No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" given that once in effect, the Codification will carry the same level of authority. FASB Statement No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this FASB Statement No. 168 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

B. Sale of Assets

    Sale of Value Added Reseller ("VAR") assets

        On August 4, 2009, AIC entered into and closed on an asset sale agreement for the Company's VAR operations. In consideration for the assets sold, which were primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, we received $3.0 million in cash at closing and, based on the number of customer contract assignments received prior to December 31, 2009, we earned an additional $0.5 million in cash payable in August 2010 which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded a gain on the sale of the net assets of $0.1 million in fiscal 2009.

Customer lists

  $   $   $   $ 13,259   $ (7,155 ) $ 6,104  

        In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we disposed of the remaining balance of our customer lists. Our customer lists were sold as part of the VAR assets sale as described in the Sale of Assets footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

        During fiscal 2009, we incurred amortization expense of $0.5 million, recorded an impairment of our customer lists of approximately $2.3 million, as described below, and disposed of the remaining balance of our customer lists of approximately $3.3 million.

        During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we reviewed our customer list intangible asset, which had been established when SequoiaNet.com and WireSpeed Networks, LLC were acquired in fiscal 2000 and 2005, respectively, in accordance with ASC Topic 360 based on the expectation that the business with which the customer lists are associated would be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Additionally, in determining fair value, we considered the expected consideration to be received from the sale of the VAR assets as described in the Sale of Assets footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which implied the customer lists were impaired. Based on this measurement, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment loss, which is the amount by which the carrying value of the customer lists exceeded the fair value. The impairment loss is included within Intangible assets impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        During fiscal 2007, we determined that the customer list intangible asset, which had been established when Redwood Solutions Corporation was acquired in 2005, had become impaired. We utilized a present value cash flow valuation technique to measure the fair value of such assets and determined that the remaining net asset values should be written down to zero because the future expected cash flows were negligible. This write-off resulted in an impairment charge of $1.4 million, which is recorded within Intangible assets impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        During fiscal 2007, we also impaired our trade name intangible asset. Trade names with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset might be impaired. In December 2007, we adopted a new business plan which significantly changed our key business strategies. We determined that the trade name was no longer going to be used and therefore determined the trade name to have a finite life. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, if an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite life, the asset shall be tested for impairment. In addition, the remaining asset shall then be amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. An impairment charge of approximately $1.5 million was recognized in fiscal 2007 which represented the excess of the book value over its remaining fair value at the end of fiscal 2007. In determining the fair value of its trade name, we applied the income approach, using the relief from royalty method. This charge is recorded within Intangible assets impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining carrying value of $0.1 million as of December 29, 2007 was fully amortized during fiscal 2008.

        In fiscal 2008, we determined that events and changes in circumstances had occurred in our business that would indicate the remaining goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 3, 2009 was impaired. Our forecast for operating results for future periods had declined and we experienced a significant drop in the price of our publicly traded shares. As a result of these two events, we determined it was likely that a reduction in fair value of our reporting units had occurred. Given these indicators of potential impairment, we performed an impairment evaluation as of January 3, 2009 which considered these changes in circumstances. Based upon the results of this analysis, we recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $6.3 million of our remaining goodwill balance.

        In fiscal 2007, we changed our key business strategies and we experienced a significant drop in the price of our publicly traded shares. As a result of these two events, we determined it was likely that a reduction in fair value of our reporting units had occurred. Given these indicators of potential impairment, we performed an impairment evaluation at December 29, 2007 which considered these changes in circumstances. Based upon the results of this analysis, we recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $5.5 million for fiscal 2007.

F. Financing Agreements

    Revolving Credit Facility

        On September 30, 2009, AIC entered into a revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") pursuant to which Wells Fargo will advance up to $15.0 million to AIC for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit. The total amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility will fluctuate based on the Company's level of eligible accounts receivable.

        The Credit Facility carries an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. The Credit Facility had a one-time origination fee of $150,000 which is being amortized over the life of the credit agreement and an unused line fee of 0.50% annually on the daily average unused amount. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is September 30, 2012 and may be terminated or reduced by the Company on 90 days notice in exchange for a termination fee of 2% of the maximum line amount or reduction of the maximum line amount in the first year or 1% of such amounts in the second year and no fee in the third year. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by all of the Company's assets.

        The Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain levels of year-to-date earnings/loss before taxes. The Credit Facility limits the Company's annual capital expenditures to $2.0 million and

F. Financing Agreements (Continued)


requires the Company to maintain an excess borrowing base of at least $5.0 million and contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding annual, quarterly and projected financial reporting requirements, collateral and insurance maintenance, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the facility contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, repurchase Company stock, create new subsidiaries, sell assets or engage in any change of control transaction without the consent of Wells Fargo.

        Upon an event of default, Wells Fargo may terminate the facility or declare the entire amount outstanding under the facility to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights under the agreement. The events of default under the facility include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a change in control of the Company and bankruptcy events.

        As of January 2, 2010, we were in compliance with all the requirements and had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. Total availability of the Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $7.2 million as of January 2, 2010.

        On September 30, 2009, upon consummating the new Credit Facility, we extinguished our previous asset-based revolving credit facility. Extinguishment expenses of $40,000, relating to the remaining deferred financing costs and transaction-related expenses were expensed in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and included within SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Capital Lease Obligation

        Effective July 1, 2008, we entered into a three-year software enterprise license agreement. The license agreement qualifies for capital lease accounting treatment which resulted in the establishment of a $0.5 million software asset and related financing liability, of which $0.2 million remains as a present value liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2010.

        During fiscal 2009, we recorded workforce reduction expenses of $1.6 million in the Restructuring costs and other severance related costs line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of January 2, 2010, all individuals affected by these workforce reductions had either been terminated or been notified of their pending termination and such pending termination payments were contractually payable to the individual at a termination date within 60 days of the date the individuals were notified.

        In addition, during fiscal 2009, we recorded office closure and consolidation charges totaling $2.2 million related to future rent obligations, net of anticipated sublease income. The office closure charges are for locations we closed during fiscal 2009 and the consolidation charge primarily relates to the consolidation of our corporate office during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

        During fiscal 2008, we recorded workforce reduction expenses of $2.6 million in the Restructuring costs and other severance related costs line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of January 3, 2009, all individuals affected by these workforce reductions had either been terminated or been notified of their pending termination and such pending termination payments were contractually payable to the individuals at a termination dated within 60 days of the date the individuals were notified.

        Also during fiscal 2008, we recorded a net charge of $0.3 million related to future rent obligations, net of anticipated sublease income, on locations closed or vacated prior to January 3, 2009.

        During fiscal 2007, we recorded workforce reduction expenses of $3.3 million in the Restructuring costs and other severance related costs line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of December 29, 2007, all individuals affected by these workforce reductions had either been terminated or been notified of their pending termination and such pending termination payments were contractually payable to the individuals at a termination dated within 60 days of the date the individuals were notified.

G. Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs (Continued)

        Also during fiscal 2007, we recorded a net charge of $0.3 million related to future rent obligations on locations closed prior to December 29, 2007.

        We believe all reserves for both workforce reductions and office closures and consolidations remaining at January 2, 2010 are adequate; however, differences in actual expenses related to our workforce reduction as well as unanticipated sublease activity in the future could create the need for future adjustments to these reserves.

H. Deferred Compensation

        The Restated Special Executive Retirement Plan (the "Deferred Plan") is an unfunded deferred compensation plan for past and present AIC executives. The Deferred Plan calls for us to credit active executives' accounts at an agreed upon percentage of base pay and to credit periodically all existing account balances at a rate equivalent to the 10-year treasury rate plus one to three percent as determined each year by the Company's Board of Directors. Active executives can also contribute up to fifty percent of their annual base pay and one hundred percent of their incentive bonus, if any. Employer accruals and employee contributions are one hundred percent vested at all times. Additionally, the Deferred Plan allows for discretionary employer contributions with separate vesting schedules if approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Participants are allowed to choose between a lump sum distribution or one hundred twenty months of payments and a date of distribution for employee and employer contributions, subject to the "one-year, five-year" rule and other deferred compensation rules issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Key employees are not allowed to take distribution for six months after separation from service. Hardship distributions from the Deferred Plan are not allowed, and deferral elections will be canceled following any participant's hardship distribution from his or her 401(k) account. The Deferred Plan provides that upon a change in control, a rabbi trust will be funded, and payments will be made if the Deferred Plan is subsequently terminated within twelve months of a change in control or due to a participant's right to take distribution upon a separation from service.

        As of January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, our liability to active and former employees under the Deferred Plan, post-retirement medical benefits and other deferred compensation arrangements was $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Deferred compensation expense for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.2 million, $0.4 million, and $1.0 million, respectively.

        SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, codified in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes and herein referred to as ("ASC Topic 740") requires deferred tax assets to be reduced by a valuation allowance if some portion or all of the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realized. Accordingly, at December 29, 2007, we concluded that we could no longer demonstrate that it was "more likely than not" as defined by ASC Topic 740 to realize the net deferred tax asset of $2.6 million. As a result, we recorded an additional valuation allowance to fully reserve the remaining deferred tax assets, resulting in an income tax expense of $2.6 million in fiscal 2007. As of January 2, 2010, we continue to fully reserve any deferred tax assets by offsetting changes in the deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance adjustment. After such time we believe realization of these assets is "more likely than not", we will adjust the valuation allowance which will create a benefit for income taxes.

I. Income Taxes (Continued)

        As of January 2, 2010, we had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. If we are successful in reaching profitability, we expect our net operating loss carry forwards to offset approximately $55.0 million of pretax earnings from federal and state income taxes. The federal net operating loss carry forward benefits of $0.9 million, $0.1 million, $3.5 million, $1.1 million, $1.7 million, $3.5 million and $7.4 million expire in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, respectively. The state net operating loss carry forward benefits expire as follows: $1.4 million in 2010 through 2020 and $1.4 million in 2021 and beyond.

        The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the federal statutory income tax rates to pretax (loss) income as a result of the following differences:

        We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on December 31, 2006. FIN 48, also codified in FASB ASC Topic 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. ASC Topic 740 was effective for us beginning December 31, 2006. Upon implementation, we determined our positions will more-likely-than-not be sustained if challenged. Therefore, no cumulative effect relating to the adoption of ASC Topic 740 resulted. As of January 2, 2010, we determined our positions will more-likely-than-not be sustained if challenged.

        We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within interest and penalties expense. During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, we have not recognized expense for interest and penalties, and, do not have any amounts accrued as of January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 respectively, for the payment of interest and penalties.

        We file a consolidated income tax return in the US federal jurisdiction. We also file consolidated or separate company income tax returns in most states, Canada federal, Ontario province and the United Kingdom. As of January 2, 2010, there are no federal, state, and foreign income tax audits in progress. We are no longer subject to US federal audits for tax years before 2006, and with few exceptions, the same for state and local audits.

J. Equity

    Equity Compensation Plans

        Currently, we have equity based options outstanding from six plans and have the ability to issue equity-based options from three of these plans. Under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, we may grant non-qualified options to its employees for up to 225,000 shares of common stock. Under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, we may grant incentive options, non-qualified options or restricted stock awards to our employees and non-qualified options or restricted stock awards to our Board of Directors for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, we may grant incentive options to our employees and may award non-qualified options, restricted stock and other stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards and other stock awards to our Board of Directors and non-employee consultants for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. We also have outstanding options under the 1994 Incentive Option Plan, the 1996 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the 1999 Stock Option Plan.

        The maximum term for options is 10 years; the exercise price of each option is equal to the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant; and the options and awards become exercisable or vest in one of two vesting schedules that comprise nearly all of the current outstanding options. The first vesting schedule is in annual increments of 25% beginning one year after the grant date and the second schedule is to vest 25% of the option awards immediately and 25% each year thereafter, beginning one year after the date of grant. Upon the exercise of stock options, new shares are issued from the authorized, unissued common stock.

        Prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 718, we reported all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the presentation of our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows changed to report the excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows.

        The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.39, $0.58 and $0.81, respectively.

        No options were exercised during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007. The actual income tax benefit realized from stock option exercises totaled nil in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007.

        Total stock option expense included in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $0.5 million, $0.5 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. The tax benefit recorded for these same periods was $42,000, $51,000, and $8,000, respectively. This tax benefit is offset against our valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset.

    Stock Awards

        Annually on or about the first business day of the fiscal year, each of the non-chair independent members of the Board of Directors is awarded 1,000 shares of fully vested common stock, whereas our independent board chair is awarded 2,000 shares of fully vested common stock.

        As of January 2, 2010, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock granted under the 2004 plan. The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 was approximately $5,000, $13,000, and $0.8 million, respectively.

    Shareholder Rights Plan

        Under the Company's common stock shareholder rights plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one common share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock and stock options granted and available for grant. The rights, which were extended by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2008 to expire on February 27, 2018, are exercisable only under certain conditions, and when exercisable the holder will be entitled to purchase from us one share of common stock at a price of $15.00, subject to certain adjustments. The rights will become exercisable after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock or after a person or group announces an offer, the consummation of which would result in such person or group owning 15% or more of the common stock.

        If we are acquired at any time after the rights become exercisable, the rights will be adjusted so as to entitle a holder to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company equal to $15.00 divided by one-half the then-current market price of the acquirer's stock for each right owned by a holder. If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our shares, the rights will be adjusted so as to entitle a holder (other than such person or group whose rights become void) to purchase a number of shares of common stock of Analysts International Corporation equal to $15.00 divided by one-half the then-current market price of Analysts International's common stock or the Board of Directors may exchange the rights, in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one common share per right (subject to adjustment).

        At any time prior to an acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our shares, the Board of Directors may redeem the rights at $.001 per right.

        Rent expense, primarily for office facilities, for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $2.7 million, $3.4 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.

        We have compensation arrangements with our corporate officers and certain other key employees which provide for certain payments in the event of a change of control of the Company.

        We also sponsor a 401(k) plan. Substantially all employees are eligible to participate and may contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax earnings, subject to Internal Revenue Service maximum annual contribution amounts. Beginning in September 2009, we ceased making matching contributions to employees' pre-tax contributions. Prior to this change, after one year of employment, we made matching contributions for non-highly compensated participants in the form of Company stock of 18% of a participant's first 15% of pre-tax contributions. Matching contributions vest at the rate of 20% per year and are fully vested after five years of service. We made matching contributions for fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, in the amount of $0.2 million, $0.4 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.

L. Subsequent Event

    Reverse Stock Split

        On February 11, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 1-for-5 reverse stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's common shares to all holders of record effective February 26, 2010. Each share of the Company's common shares ("Pre-Split Common Shares") shall automatically be reclassified and converted into 0.20 shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common shares ("Post-Split Common Shares") on February 26, 2010.

        AIC's Board of Directors has authorized an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and on February 26, 2010 the total authorized number of shares shall be reduced to 24,000,000 common shares of the par value of ten cents ($0.10) per share. All fractional shares will be rounded down, such that any shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Post-Split Common Share will be paid the fair market value of the fractional Post-Split Common Share in cash within a reasonable period of time after February 26, 2010. Until the Reverse Stock Split is effective, our common shares will trade on a pre-split basis. All

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Analysts International Corporation
Minneapolis, Minnesota

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Analysts International Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years ended January 2, 2010, January 3, 2009, and December 29, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Analysts International Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended January 2, 2010, January 3, 2009, and December 29, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

        There have been no disagreements with or changes in the Company's independent auditors within the past two fiscal years.

Item 9A(T).    Controls and Procedures.

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed timely, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") ("Disclosure Controls") was performed as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Office, Andrew K. Borgstrom and Chief Financial Officer, Randy W. Strobel. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that these Disclosure Controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)   Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Such internal control includes those policies and procedures that:

    pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets;

    provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and

    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2010. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of January 2, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

        This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not

subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

(c)   Changes in Internal Controls

        There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
