CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those that address activities, developments or events that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Annual Report, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
As used in this Annual Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Staffing 360°” and the “Company” mean Staffing 360° Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Annual Report are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The disclosures set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended May 31, 2012. Because of the nature of a relatively new company, the reported results will not necessarily reflect the operating results that will be achieved in the future.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Staffing 360° Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2009, as Golden Fork Corporation (“Golden Fork”). On March 16, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name from Golden Fork to Staffing 360˚ Solutions, Inc.
On February 15, 2012, TRIG Capital Group, an affiliate of the Company, executed a Letter of Intent to acquire IDC Technologies, Inc., a successful Silicon Valley IT staffing and business processing outsourcing company (“IDC”). On February 21, 2012, TRIG Capital Group assigned the Letter of Intent to us.
On February 17, 2012, Alida Heyer (the “Seller”), who held the voting rights equivalent to 78.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with TRIG Special Purpose 1, LLC, a Nevada Corporation, (the “Purchaser”) to sell to the Purchaser all her shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of 2,000,000 shares (the “Shares”). Following the sale of the Shares, the Company effected a one-for-three forward split on April 13, 2012. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser paid the Seller $240,000 for the Shares in a private transaction and the Company has become a 78.7% owned subsidiary of TRIG Special Purpose 1, LLC ) (“TRIG”) and there has been a change in control. The Company’s President and Director, Alfonso J. Cervantes, through his beneficial ownership of Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. (”Trilogy Capital”), beneficially holds 50% of TRIG.
In March 2012, the Company commenced its operations in the international staffing sector pursuant to a consolidation business model. The Company anticipates initially acquiring a platform company concurrent with an Alternative Public Offering as it pursues the acquisition of a broad spectrum of staffing agencies in the IT, financial, accounting, healthcare and banking industries. We are a start-up corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Between March 5, 2012 and May 2012, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreements and a related Note Agreement (the “Note Agreements”). Pursuant to the Note Agreements, we issued a Note in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (the "Note). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are due on February 20, 2013. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the last day of every fiscal quarter commencing March 31, 2012 and on the Maturity Date. We shall not have the right to prepay this Notes. However, within 15 days following the closing of an acquisition of a suitable platform company, we will pay the Notes (principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest) by delivering to the holders shares of common stock of the Company at a common stock price equal to 50% of the following: (i) if the securities sold in the equity raise (“PIPE”) consist solely of common stock, the per share price of the common stock; (ii) if the securities sold in the PIPE consist solely common stock and securities exercisable for (e.g. warrants) or convertible into (e.g. convertible preferred stock or convertible debt) or common stock, the lowest of the per share price of the common stock and the exercise or conversion price of the other securities; and (iii) if the securities sold in the PIPE consist solely of securities exercisable for or convertible into common stock, the lowest of the exercise price or conversion price of such securities.

On April 13, 2012, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for its name change and a forward split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on a basis of 1 for 3 (the “Forward Split”). Upon effect of the Forward Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall increase from 2,540,000 to 7,620,000. FINRA declared the Forward Split effective as of April 13, 2012. In connection with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol was changed from “GDNF” to “STAF” (the “Symbol Change”).
The Company is presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include organizing the business and raising capital. The Company is a development stage company with no revenues and no profits. Since the Company has a limited operating history, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate the Company’s performance and its prospects for achieving its intended business objectives
Limited Operating History
The Company has generated no independent financial history and has not previously demonstrated that it will be able to expand its business. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.
There is no historical financial information to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in development stage operations and have yet to generate revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns.
We will be seeking equity financing in the future in order to obtain the capital required to implement our business plan. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available to us on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to our existing shareholders.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.

Plan of Operation

We anticipate initially acquiring a platform company concurrent with an Alternative Public Offering as we pursue the acquisition of a broad spectrum of staffing agencies in the IT, financial, accounting, healthcare and banking industries. We are a start-up corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2012 contained herein. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Our financial statements 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 amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Stock-based compensation
We account for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. There were no options outstanding as of May 31, 2012. We account for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on December 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on December 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and have not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on our financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2011-02 has become effective for the Company on September 1, 2012. The Company does not believe that the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Results of operations
For the year ended May 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended May 31, 2011
Revenues
Since inception, we have not generated any revenues.
Operating expenses
For the year ended May 31, 2012, operating expenses amounted to $241,838 as compared to $12,550 for the year ended May 31, 2011, an increase of $229,288 or 1,827.0%. For the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, operating expenses consisted of the following:
8 |
For the Year Ended May 31, 2012 | For the Year Ended May 31, 2011 | |||||||
Compensation and benefits | $ | 37,008 | $ | - | ||||
Consulting fees – related party | 109,500 | 3,000 | ||||||
Rent – related party | 2,000 | 3,000 | ||||||
Professional fees | 82,370 | 5,150 | ||||||
Other general and administrative | 10,960 | 1,400 | ||||||
Total Operating Expenses | $ | 241,838 | $ | 12,550 |
For the year ended May 31, 2012, the increase in our operating expenses as compared to year ended May 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to:
· | An increase in compensation and benefits of $37,008. In February 2012, we hired our chief executive officer pursuant to an employment agreement. |
· | During the year ended May 31, 2012, we incurred consulting fees to related parties of $109,500 for management and business development services |
· | For the year ended May 31, 2012, we incurred professional fees of $82,370 including consulting fees of $39,486 for business development services, accounting fees of $3,500, legal fees of $25,846, and other professional fees of $13,538. We expect professional fees to increase substantially as we incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and professional fees in connection with our new business model. In March 2012, we commenced limited operations in the international staffing sector pursuant to a consolidation business model ad new expect to incur additional legal, consulting and other fees related to these operation. |
· | We also experienced an increase in general and administrative expenses in the 2012 period and expect these expenses to increase in the near future as we implement our business plan. |
Other Expenses
For the year ended May 31, 2012, we incurred aggregate interest expense of $2,975 and $68 related to outstanding notes payable and related party notes, respectively. We did not incur interest expense in the 2011 period.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for the year ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 was $244,881 and $12,550, or a net loss per common share of $0.03 and $0.00 (basic and diluted), respectively.

Liquidity and capital resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations through the sale of our common stock and from advances from our former majority shareholder/office/director.
Our primary uses of cash have been for professional fees related to our operations and financial reporting requirement and for the payment of compensation and benefits. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and implementing our business plan. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:
· | An increase in working capital requirements to finance targeted acquisitions, |
· | Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows, |
· | Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as the company expands within existing markets or enters new markets, |
· | The cost of being a public company, and |
· | Capital expenditures to add additional technology. |
We are not aware of any known trends or any known demands, commitments or events that will result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. We are not aware of any matters that would have an impact on future operations.
Since inception, we have not had any revenue. At May 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $18,867. Since inception we have funded our operations as follows:
· | Since inception, we raised $27,000 from the sale of common stock to fund our operating expenses and pay our obligations. |
· | Pursuant to a term sheet wherebywe are offering for sale promissory notes in the aggregate principalamount of up to $500,000 to provide funds for expenses related to the acquisition of aprivately held staffing company, during the year ended May 31, 2012, we entered into Note Purchase Agreements and a related Note Agreements (the “Note Agreements”). Pursuant to the Note Agreements, we issued Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (the "Notes). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are due on February 20, 2013. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the last day of every fiscal quarter and on the Maturity Date. We shall not have the right to prepay these Notes. However, within 15 days following the closing of an acquisition of a suitable platform company, we will pay the Notes (principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest) by delivering to the holders shares of common stock of the Company at a common stock price equal to 50% of the following: (i) if the securities sold in the equity raise (“PIPE”) consist solely of common stock, the per share price of the common stock; (ii) if the securities sold in the PIPE consist solely common stock and securities exercisable for (e.g. warrants) or convertible into (e.g. convertible preferred stock or convertible debt) or common stock, the lowest of the per share price of the common stock and the exercise or conversion price of the other securities; and (iii) if the securities sold in the PIPE consist solely of securities exercisable for or convertible into common stock, the lowest of the exercise price or conversion price of such securities. |
10 |
· | In August 2012, we issued Notes with the same terms as above in the aggregate principal amounts of $100,000. |
· | On April 20, 2012, we entered into a note agreement with Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. (“Trilogy Capital”), a company majority owned by Company’s president and director in the amount of $3,800. This note is unsecured, bears interest at 5.0% and is due one year from the note date. This note was repaid on May 18, 2012. At May 31, 2012, interest due under this note amounted to $15 which has been included in due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet. For the year ended May 31, 2012, interest expense related to this note amounted to $15. |
· | In April 2012, we entered into various note agreements with a Robert Y. Lee and Grandview Capital Corp. shareholders of TRIG in the aggregate amount of $9,600. These notes are unsecured, bear interest at 5.0% and are due one year from the respective note date. At May 31, 2012, the aggregate principal amounts due under these notes amounted to $9.600. At May 31, 2012, interest due under these notes amounted to $53 which has been included in due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet. For the year ended May 31, 2012, interest expense related to these notes amounted to $53. |
· | Subsequent to May 31, 2012, we entered into various one-year note agreements with Trilogy Capital in the aggregate amount of $14,000. These notes are unsecured, bear interest at 5.0% and are due one year from the respective note date. |
· | In August 2012, we entered into various note agreements with a Robert Y. Lee and Grandview Capital Corp. shareholders of TRIG in the aggregate amount of $18,000. These notes are unsecured, bear interest at 5.0% and are due one year from the respective note date. |
We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We must raise funds to implement our business plan in order to pursue the acquisition of a broad spectrum of staffing agencies in the IT, financial, accounting, healthcare and banking industries and for working capital. Currently, we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. Currently, we do not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
11 |
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.
Operating activities
For the year ended May 31, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $270,543 and was attributable to our net loss of $244,881, offset by the add back of the non-cash item of donated services and rent of $4,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(29,653).
Financing activities
For the year ended May 31, 2012, net cash flows provided by financing activities was $289,401 and was attributable to the sale of our common stock of $27,000, proceeds from convertible debt of $250,000, and net cash received from related party notes of $9,600.We did not have any financing activities in the 2011 period.
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of May 31, 2012 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Staffing 360o Solutions, Inc. (Formerly Golden Fork Corporation)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Staffing 360o Solutions, Inc. (Formerly Golden Fork Corporation) (A Development Stage Company) as of May 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the periods then ended and from inception (December 22, 2009) through May 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Staffing 360o Solutions, Inc. (Formerly Golden Fork Corporation) as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Staffing 360º Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2009, as Golden Fork Corporation (“Golden Fork”). On March 16, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name from Golden Fork to Staffing 360º Solutions, Inc. The business purpose of Golden Fork was to enter into the catering services industry and to become a recognized leader in our targeted market for onsite food preparation and catering services. Since the date of inception to February 2012, the Company’s development activities related to the catering service business were minimal.
On February 17, 2012, Alida Heyer (the “Seller”), who held the voting rights equivalent to 78.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with TRIG Special Purpose 1, LLC, a Nevada Corporation, (the “Purchaser”) to sell to the Purchaser all her shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of 6,000,000 shares (the “Shares”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser paid the Seller $240,000 for the Shares in a private transaction and the Company has become a 78.7% owned subsidiary of TRIG Special Purpose 1, LLC ) (“TRIG”) and there has been change in control. The Company’s President and Director, Alfonso J. Cervantes, through his beneficial ownership of Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. (”Trilogy Capital”), beneficially holds 50% of TRIG.
In March 2012, the Company commenced its operations in the international staffing sector pursuant to a consolidation business model. The Company anticipates initially acquiring a platform company concurrent with an Alternative Public Offering as it pursues the acquisition of a broad spectrum of staffing agencies in the IT, financial, accounting, healthcare and banking industries.
Basis of presentation and going concern
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.
The Company is presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include organizing the business and raising capital. The Company is a development stage company with no revenues and no profits. Since the Company has a limited operating history, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate the Company’s performance and its prospects for achieving its intended business objectives. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Staffing 360º Solutions, Inc. is unable to continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2012, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $214,080, has not generated revenues, has accumulated losses of $264,560 since inception, and for the year ended May 31, 2012 had net cash used in operations of $270,534. The continuation of Staffing 360º Solutions, Inc. as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the 2012 and 2011 period include the valuation of deferred tax assets.
Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
* | Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. |
* | Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
* | Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes and mortgages payable, and amounts due to related party approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Mortgage and other notes payable carrying value approximate fair value based on the market interest rates under such notes. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
May 31, 2012 | May 31, 2011 | |
Level 1 | - | - |
Level 2 | - | - |
Level 3 | - | - |
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at May 31, 2012 or May 31, 2011.
Income taxes
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the United States. The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," 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 or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income taxes (continued)
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of May 31, 2012 and 2011, management believes the Company had no material uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.
Advertising
Advertising is expensed as incurred. For the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not incur advertising expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not incur research and development costs.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Net loss per share of common stock
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible promissory notes (using the if-converted method). All potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses. Potential dilutive securities include securities issuable upon the future conversion of convertible debt (see Note 2) and upon the attainment of certain milestones pursuant to an employment agreement (see Note 6).
Forward stock split
The Company effected a one-for-three forward stock split on April 13, 2012. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this forward stock split.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on December 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on December 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and have not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on our financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2011-02 has become effective for the Company on September 1, 2012. The Company does not believe that the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 2 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
Pursuant to a term sheet whereby the Company is offering for sale promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000 to provide funds for expenses related to the acquisition of a privately held staffing company, on March 5, 2012 and May 4, 2012, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreements and related Note Agreements (the “Note Agreements”). Pursuant to the Note Agreements, on March 5, 2012 and May 4, 2012, the Company issued Notes in the principal amount of $50,000 and $200,000 (the “Notes”), respectively. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are due on February 20, 2013. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the last day of every fiscal quarter commencing on the first calendar quarter subsequent to the respective Note date and ending on the Maturity Date. The Company shall not have the right to prepay this Note. However, within 15 days following the closing of an acquisition of a suitable platform company, the Company will pay the Notes (principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest) by delivering to the holders shares of common stock of the Company at a common stock price equal to 50% of the following: (i) if the securities sold in the equity raise (“PIPE”) consist solely of common stock, the per share price of the common stock; (ii) if the securities sold in the PIPE consist solely common stock and securities exercisable for (e.g. warrants) or convertible into (e.g. convertible preferred stock or convertible debt) or common stock, the lowest of the per share price of the common stock and the exercise or conversion price of the other securities; and (iii) if the securities sold in the PIPE consist solely of securities exercisable for or convertible into common stock, the lowest of the exercise price or conversion price of such securities.
Since the convertible notes include an embedded conversion feature, management evaluated this feature to determine whether it meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) within the scope of ASC 480-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Note holders shall have the option to exchange all or a portion of the face amount of the Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into the applicable dollar amount of any other securities issued by the Company in connection with the subsequent financing, at a conversion price equal to 50% of the subsequent financing offering price. In accordance with ASC 480-20 which deals with instruments containing a fixed percentage conversion feature dependent on a future event, the Company estimated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features of at March 5, 2012 and May 4, 2012 (the “Commitment Dates”) of $50,000 and $200,000, respectively. However, these amounts will only be recorded at the date the Company enters into the subsequent financing arrangement.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed and submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision of and with the participation of its executive officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the sole executive officer of the Company has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this Annual Report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
14 |
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during or subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.
In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2012, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:
· | Lack of segregation of duties |
· | Lack of internal accounting staff |
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:
1. | Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in fiscal 2012; and |
2. | We will appoint personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations. |
