Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Proxy Statement are in United States dollars.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 7, 2013

Our Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and Annual Report are available at: www.columbiastock.com/voting

PURPOSES OF ANNUAL MEETING

Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see “Voting at Annual Meeting”) will be asked to consider and take action on the election of Frederick J. Sandford, John Schneller, JD Smith, John Stewart and Jeff Wilson as directors to the Company's Board of Directors to serve for a one-year term or until their successors are elected. (See “Election of Directors”).

Ratification of Auditors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see “Voting at Annual Meeting”) will be asked to consider and take action to ratify the appointment of independent auditors. (See “Ratification of Auditors”).

Advisory Vote/“Say on Pay”

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see “Voting at Annual Meeting”) will be asked to provide an advisory vote to approve our executive compensation, as well as an advisory vote on the frequency of voting on our executive compensation.

Other Business

We may also transact other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting, postponement(s) or any adjournment(s) thereof. See “Other Matters”.

VOTING AT ANNUAL MEETING

General. The close of business on September 6, 2013, has been fixed as the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and right to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 59,611,242 shares of Common Stock entitled to vote. A majority of such shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The holders of record on the Record Date of the shares entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting are entitled to cast one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. All action proposed herein may be taken upon a favorable vote of the holders of a majority of such shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Internet Voting. We are furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each shareholder. By doing so, we save costs and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. On September XX, 2013, we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to certain of our shareholders. The Notice contains instructions about how to access our proxy materials and vote online or vote by telephone. If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you previously chose to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive access to these materials via e-mail unless you elect otherwise.

Proxies. Shares of Common Stock which are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting and which are represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted: (1) FOR election of Frederick J. Sandford, John Schneller, JD Smith, John Stewart and Jeff Wilson to the Company's Board of Directors; (2) FOR ratification of PMB Helin Donovan as independent auditors; (3) FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our officers; (4) FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of holding a vote on officer compensation every year; and (5) AT the discretion of the proxy holder, any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies. A shareholder who has executed and returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by timely executing and returning, by Internet, mail, or in person at the Annual Meeting, a proxy bearing a later date; or by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at 3901 N. Schreiber Way, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815 prior to the annual meeting; or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person; or by delivering instruction to the Company via email and with written confirmation. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incompetence of the maker unless, before the authority granted thereunder is exercised, written notice of such death or incompetence is received by the Company from the executor or administrator of the estate or from a fiduciary having control of the shares represented by such proxy. Your right to revoke your proxy is not limited by or subject to compliance with a specified formal procedure, but you should follow one of the methods listed above so that the number of shares represented by proxy can be recomputed. Attendance at the meeting, in and of itself, will not constitute a revocation of a proxy.

Inspector of Elections. Proxies and ballots will be received and tabulated by Columbia Stock Transfer Company, our transfer agent and the inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting.

Quorum. A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting. If shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Shares represented by proxies containing an abstention as to any matter will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Similarly, shares held by brokers or nominees for the accounts of others as to which voting instructions have not been given for that matter and for which the broker does not have discretionary voting authority for that matter (“Broker Non-Votes”) will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Brokers may exercise discretion to vote shares as to which instructions are not given with respect to the proposals regarding the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of the independent registered accounting firm.

Effect of Abstentions, Voting Requirements, Withheld Votes and Broker Non-Vote. The indication of an abstention on a proxy or the failure to vote either by proxy or in person will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” the election of any director. Each of the other matters must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, assuming a quorum is present. Abstention from voting will have the practical effect of voting against these matters since it is one less vote for approval. The shares of a shareholder whose ballot on any or all proposals is marked as “abstain” will be included in the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Broker Non-Votes, shares held by brokers or custodians for the accounts of others as to which voting instructions have not been given, will be treated as shares that are present for determining a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a proposal. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held by a broker or other custodian, you may instruct your broker how you would like your shares voted through the voting instruction form included with this Proxy Statement.

If you wish to vote the shares you own beneficially at the meeting, you must first request and obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker or other custodian. If you choose not to provide instructions or a legal proxy, your shares are referred to as “uninstructed shares.” Whether your broker or custodian has the discretion to vote these shares on your behalf are routine matters for consideration at the meeting, in this case, items 3 and 4, the advisory vote for “say on pay” and “say when on pay” proposals. Prior to January 1, 2010, brokers and custodians were allowed to vote uninstructed shares in uncontested director elections. As of January 1, 2010, brokers and custodians can no longer vote uninstructed shares on your behalf in director elections. For your vote to be counted, you must submit your voting instruction form to your broker or custodian.

Proposal Number	Item	Votes Required for Approval	Abstentions	Uninstructed Shares
1	Election of Directors	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Not voted
2	Ratification of Independent Auditors	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Discretionary vote
3	Advisory vote to Executive Compensation	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Discretionary vote
4	Advisory vote on the frequency of Future advisory votes relating to Executive compensation	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Discretionary vote

Record Date. Shareholders of record at the close of business on September 6, 2013, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On September 6, 2013, the Company had 59,611,242 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

Discretionary Authority. If any nominee for director is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, or if any matters not specified in this proxy statement come before the meeting, eligible shares will be voted as specified by the named proxies pursuant to discretionary authority granted in the proxy. At the time this Proxy Statement was printed, we were not aware of any other matters to be voted on.

Solicitation of Proxies. Proxies may be solicited by officers, directors and regular supervisory and executive employees of the Company, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for their services. The Company will bear the expense of preparing, printing, and mailing this Proxy Statement and the proxies we solicit. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited by directors, officers and employees in person.

Mailing and Forwarding of Proxy Materials. On or about September XX, 2013, we first mailed this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to shareholders. We will arrange with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the common stock as of the record date and will reimburse such brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that they incur as a result of forwarding the proxy materials. Your cooperation in promptly voting your shares and submitting your proxy will help avoid additional expense.

Executive Offices. The principal executive office of the Company is located at 3901 N. Schreiber Way, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815. The mailing address of the principal executive office is 3901 N. Schreiber Way, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815. The telephone number for the Company is (208) 773-7450.

The consent to receive stockholder communications through the Internet may be withdrawn at any time to resume receiving stockholder communications in printed form.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Election of Directors

It is intended that the proxies solicited hereby will be voted for election of the nominees for directors listed below, unless authority to do so has been withheld. The Board of Directors knows of no reason why its nominees will be unable to accept election. However, if a nominee becomes unable to accept election, the Board will either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, proxies will be voted in favor of such nominee. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve as a director.

Under the current bylaws of the Company, the proposed term of office for which each nominee is a candidate is until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified.

The affirmative vote of the majority of the common shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for election of each of the directors.

Nominees

Five directors will be elected at the meeting, each to a one year term, to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and until such director’s successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected PMB Helin Donovan ("PMB") as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2013. Shareholder ratification of the selection of PMB as the Company’s independent auditors is not required by the Bylaws or otherwise. However, Management is submitting the selection of PMB to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, Management will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, Management, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

PMB is experienced in the field of accounting and is well qualified to act in the capacity of auditors. A representative of PMB will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions by shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if desired. Services provided by PMB to the Company in fiscal 2012 are described below.

The following table presents fees billed to the Company relating to the audit of the Financial Statements at December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively as provided by PMB and our predecessor independent registered accountant, namely MartinelliMick, PLLC. We expect that PMB will serve as our auditors for fiscal year 2013.1

Year Ended	December 28, 2012	December 30, 2011
Audit Fees	$140,300	$84,000
Audit-related Fees	-0-	-0-
Tax Fees	$26,100	-0-
All Other Fees	$7,200	$1,500
Total Fees	$173,600	$85,500

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accountant for Fiscal Years 2012 and 2011.

For the fiscal year ending December 28, 2012, our independent auditor was PMB. For the fiscal year ending December 30, 2011, our independent auditor was MartinelliMick, PLLC.

The Audit Committee reviews and approves audit and permissible non-audit services performed by its independent auditors, as well as the fees charged for such services. In its review of non-audit service fees and the appointment of its independent auditors as the Company's independent accountants, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining its auditors' independence. All of the services provided and fees charged by its independent auditors in 2012 and 2011 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by MartinelliMick, PLLC for professional services for the audit of the annual financial statements of the Company and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2011 were $84,000.

The aggregate fees billed by PMB for professional services for the audit of the annual financial statements of the Company and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2012 were $50,000. The aggregate fees billed by MartinelliMick, PLLC for professional services for the audit of the annual financial statements of the Company and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2012 were $90,300.

__________________________

1 As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2012, the Company dismissed MartinelliMick, PLLC as our independent registered public accounting firm. The report of MartinelliMick, PLLC on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2011, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

Audit-Related Fees. Other fees billed by MartinelliMick, PLLC for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and not reported under “Audit Fees” above for 2011 were $0.

Other fees billed by MartinelliMick, PLLC for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and not reported under “Audit Fees” above for 2012 were $7,200. These fees were for review of the Form 10-K.

Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed by MartinelliMick, PLLC for professional services for tax compliance billed in 2011 were $0.

The aggregate fees billed by PMB for professional services for tax compliance billed in 2012 were $22,000.

All Other Fees. There were no fees billed by MartinelliMick, PLLC during 2011 for any other products or services provided. There were no fees billed by PMB during 2012 for any other products or services provided. The services described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the policy described below; the Audit Committee did not rely on any of the exceptions to pre-approval under Rule 2 01(c)(7)(i)(C) under Regulation S-X.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The Audit Committee will pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm prior to the engagement of the independent accountants with respect to such services. Prior to appointment of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors approved such services. The Company’s independent accountants may be engaged to provide non-audit services only after the Audit Committee has first considered the proposed engagement and has determined in each instance that the proposed services are not prohibited by applicable regulations, and that the accountants’ independence will not be materially impaired as a result of having provided such services. In making this determination, the Audit Committee takes into consideration whether a reasonable investor, knowing all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that the accountants’ exercise of objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within the accountants’ engagement would be materially impaired. The Audit Committee may delegate its approval authority to pre-approve services provided by the independent accountants to one or more of the members of the Audit Committee, provided that any such approvals are presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

This report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

Management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting and Oversight Board and issuing an opinion thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. As part of its ongoing activities, the Audit Committee has:

●

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 2

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company is providing its shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay-proposal”) as described below. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shareholders are entitled to an advisory (non-binding) vote on compensation programs for our named executive officers (sometimes referred to as “say on pay”). In accordance, we are asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s listed officers disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” and Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes, and narrative in this Proxy Statement for our 2013 Annual Shareholders Meeting. The Company believes that it is appropriate to seek the views of shareholders on the design and effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program. Therefore, in accordance with that policy and pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s listed officers disclosed in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes, and narrative in this proxy statement for our 2013 Annual Shareholders Meeting.

As described below in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, our compensation program and stock option plan are designed to support its business goals and promote short- and long-term profitable growth of the Company and align compensation with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

We urge shareholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narratives, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our listed officers. The Board believes that the policies and procedures articulated in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our listed officers reported in this proxy statement has supported and contributed to the company’s recent and long-term success.

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote. Because the vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors will not be required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The Board of Directors will carefully assess the voting results, and if those results reflect any broadly held issues or concerns, we will consult directly with shareholders to better understand their views.

The frequency of holding “say on pay” advisory votes will be determined by the decision of the shareholders as to Proposal No. 4.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR

APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 3

PROPOSAL 4: ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The federal law that now requires each U.S. public company to hold a “say on pay” advisory vote also requires that shareholders be asked to vote on the frequency of “say on pay” votes. Pursuant to this new law, which is set forth in Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are asking shareholders to vote on whether future “say on pay” votes such as the one in Proposal 3 above should occur every year, every two years, or every three years. This vote on the frequency of “say on pay” votes is advisory in nature and must be held at least once every six years.

The Company welcomes the opportunity to submit the three alternative frequencies to our shareholders for consideration. Some commentators have said that a two-year or three-year frequency might be better aligned with compensation trends or programs and would place less emphasis on the results or actions of a single year; other commentators have stated that an annual vote provides a company with more opportunity for timely feedback and reflects a higher level of corporate governance. We are prepared to operate under any of the three alternative frequencies and look forward to the Shareholder vote for input.

Shareholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years, or abstain. The Board of Directors believes that holding an advisory vote every year establishes the preferred level of corporate governance and therefore the Board recommendation on this matter is to approve “1 YEAR.” Your shares will not be voted on this matter unless you specifically indicate your preference among the choices. This advisory vote is non-binding on the Board of Directors, but the Board of Directors will give careful consideration to the voting results on this proposal and expects to be guided by the alternative that receives the greatest number of votes, even if that alternative does not receive a majority of the votes cast.

SHAREHOLDERS MAY CAST THEIR ADVISORY VOTE TO CONDUCT FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EVERY “1 YEAR,” “2 YEARS,” OR “3 YEARS,” OR “ABSTAIN.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR

APPROVAL OF 1 YEAR ON PROPOSAL 4

PROPOSAL 5: OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than those described above. Should other business properly be brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the accompanying Proxy will be voted thereon in the discretion of the persons named as proxies.

Meetings and Committees of The Board Of Directors

The Board of Directors

During the fiscal year ending December 28, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) was composed of four outside directors and Glenn Welstad, then Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Todd Welstad, then Chief Operating Officer, Chief Information Officer and Executive Vice President of the Company. Subsequently, on February 19, 2013, Glenn Welstad resigned as an officer and director of the Company. Although Todd Welstad’s appointment as an officer terminated on July 11, 2013, he remains a member of the Board of Directors.

Each director is expected to devote sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure diligent performance of his or her duties and to attend all Board, committee and shareholders’ meetings. Meetings and actions of the Board include regular meetings, special meetings and actions by unanimous written consent.

During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2012, the Board met five times, one of which was a regular meeting and four of which were special meetings and has acted through unanimous consent three times. All directors who have served since the beginning of the last fiscal year have attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which they have served. There is no policy regarding director attendance at the annual meetings and special meetings of shareholders. The Company did not have an Annual Meeting of Shareholders last year.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities. The committees are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The composition and function of each of our committees complies with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that are currently applicable to us and we intend to comply with additional exchange listing requirements to the extent that they become applicable to us in the future. The Board has also adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. Charters for each committee are available on the Company’s website at www.commandonline.com. The charter of each committee is also available in print to any shareholder who requests it. The table below shows current membership for each of the standing Board committees.

Audit Committee	Compensation Committee	Nominating and Governance Committee
Jeff Wilson (Chair)	John Schneller (Chair)	JD Smith (Chair)
John Schneller	Jeff Wilson	Jeff Wilson
--	Ralph Peterson	Ralph Peterson
--	--	John Schneller

The Committees are described below.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as of December 28, 2012, is comprised of Jeff Wilson (Chairman) and John Schneller, and it operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website, www.commandonline.com, in the “Investors” section. On August 1, 2013, Ralph Peterson was appointed as Principal Accounting Officer of the Company on an interim basis, and on that date he relinquished his position on the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Wilson qualifies as an audit committee “financial expert” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the applicable rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Both of the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate pursuant to the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Remote meetings to review our quarterly and annual filings were held each quarter, and several remote meetings were held to discuss the December 28, 2012, audit and the preparation of the financial statements for the period then ended. The Audit Committee held four formal meetings in 2012.

The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:

●	appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

●	reviewing and discussing with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;

●	pre-approving auditing and permissible non-audit services, and the terms of such services, to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;

●	coordinating the oversight and reviewing the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting;

●	establishing policies and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting related complaints and concerns;

●	preparing the audit committee report required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

●	determining funding for, selecting, evaluating, and replacing independent auditors.

For the fiscal year ending December 28, 2012, the audit of our financial statements was reviewed by the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. The Company’s auditors also held a teleconference with the Audit Committee. During the telephone conference, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the auditors, among other things:

●	the status of any significant issues arising during the quarterly reviews and annual audit of the Company’s

financial statements;

●	the Company’s annual audit plan for 2012 and the internal and external staffing resources necessary to carry out the Company’s audit plans;

●	the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates;

●	the Company’s progress toward documenting internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

●	the impact of new accounting pronouncements;

●	current tax matters affecting the Company; and

●	the Company’s management information systems.

Compensation Committee. John Schneller (Chairman), Ralph Peterson and Jeff Wilson currently serve on the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is comprised of three non-employee directors. Directors John Schneller, Ralph Peterson and Jeff Wilson have been determined by the Board to be independent pursuant to Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Compensation Committee held three formal meetings in 2012.

The Compensation Committee oversees our executive compensation program, establishes our compensation philosophy and policies, and administers our compensation plans. The Compensation Committee generally reviews the compensation programs applicable to executive officers on an annual basis. In setting compensation levels for a particular executive, the Committee takes into consideration the proposed compensation package as a whole and each element individually, as well as the executive's past and expected future contributions to our business.

The scope of the Compensation Committee’s authority is outlined above. The Committee has the authority to engage its own independent advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. No such advisors are currently engaged. The Compensation Committee did not use an advisor to assist it in determining executive compensation for our 2012 fiscal year. Executive management of the Company is actively involved in determining appropriate compensation and making recommendations to the Committee for its consideration.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee Charter grants such Committee the authority to determine the skills and qualifications required of directors and to develop criteria to be considered in selecting potential candidates for Board membership. Neither the Committee nor the Board has established any minimum qualifications for nominees, but the Board does consider the composition of the Board as a whole, the requisite characteristics (including independence, diversity, experience in industry, finance, administration and operations) of each candidate, and the skills and expertise of its current members, while taking into account the overall operating efficiency of the Board and its committees.

The Nominating and Governance Committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

●	developing and recommending to the Board criteria for Board and committee membership;

●	establishing procedures for identifying and evaluating director candidates including nominees recommended by shareholders;

●	identifying individuals qualified to become Board members;

●	recommending to the Board the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of the Board’s committees;

●	developing and recommending to the Board a code of business conduct and ethics and a set of corporate governance guidelines; and

●	overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management.

JD Smith (Chairman), Ralph Peterson, Jeff Wilson and John Schneller currently serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee held three formal meetings in 2012.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board has a comprehensive enterprise risk management process in which management is responsible for managing the Company's risks. The Board and its committees provide review and oversight in connection with these efforts. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Purposeful and appropriate risk taking is essential for the Company to be competitive and to achieve its strategic objectives.

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through committees, which play a significant role in carrying out risk oversight. The risk oversight responsibility is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. These areas of focus include competitive, economic, operational, financial, legal, regulatory, compliance, safety, environmental and political risks. While the Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of management’s risk management policies, oversight responsibility for particular areas of risk is allocated among the Board committees according to the committee’s area of responsibility as reflected in the committee charters.

In particular:

●

The full Board oversees strategic, financial and execution risks and exposures associated with the annual plan and other current matters that may present material risk to the Company’s operations, plans, prospects or reputation, in addition to acquisitions and executive management succession planning.

●

The Audit Committee oversees risks associated with financial matters, particularly financial reporting, tax, accounting, disclosure, internal control over financial reporting, financial policies, credit and liquidity matters and compliance with legal and regulatory matters including environmental matters.

●

The Compensation Committee oversees risks and rewards associated with the Company’s attraction and retention of talent, management development, executive management succession plans, and compensation philosophy and programs, including a periodic review of such compensation programs to ensure that they do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

●	The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees risks associated with company governance, including our code of ethics, director succession planning, and the structure and performance of the Board and its committees.

The Company believes that its leadership structure, discussed in detail above, supports the risk oversight function of the Board. Strong directors chair the various committees involved in risk oversight, there is open communication between management and directors, and all directors are involved in the risk oversight function.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The following director and executive officer served as a member of the Compensation Committee during some or all of fiscal year 2012: Ralph Peterson served on the Compensation Committee, as well as the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee throughout 2012, including the time period until May 16, 2012 when he served on a short-term, interim basis as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

As set forth in the written charter of the Audit Committee, any related person transaction involving a Company director or executive officer must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote on the approval or ratification of the transaction. Related persons include any director or executive officer, certain shareholders and any of their “immediate family members” (as defined by SEC regulations). In addition, the Board of Directors determines on an annual basis which directors meet the definition of independent director under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and reviews any director relationship that would potentially interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

As set forth in the Charter of the Audit Committee, any related person transaction involving a Company director or executive officer must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote on the approval or ratification of the transaction. Related persons include any director or executive officer, certain shareholders and any of their “immediate family members” (as defined by SEC regulations). In addition, the Board of Directors determines on an annual basis which directors meet the definition of independent director under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and reviews any director relationship that would potentially interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

There are no reportable related party transactions between the Company and any executive officer, director or affiliate.

None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. None of the current members of our Compensation Committee, nor any of their family members, has ever been one of our employees, except for Ralph Peterson, as discussed above.

From time to time, our Audit Committee will review and report to our Board of Directors on any related party transaction. In considering related party transactions, the members of our Audit Committee are guided by their fiduciary duties to our shareholders. Our Audit Committee does not currently have any written or oral policies or procedures regarding the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related parties.

Indebtedness of Management

No director or executive officer or nominee for director, or any member of the immediate family of such has been indebted to the Company during the past year.

Officer and Director Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings involving officers or directors of the Company.

Director Independence

The Board affirmatively determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with certain criteria, which include all elements of independence set forth in the related Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Regulations and the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. As part of the Nominating and Governance Committee meetings and as they feel necessary or appropriate at full board meetings, the independent directors meet in executive session without management or any non-independent directors present.

Based on these standards and information provided in the Director and Officer Questionnaire, and by unanimous vote at meetings held on August 1 and August 19, 2013, the Board determined that John Schneller, JD Smith, John Stewart and Jeff Wilson, as non-employee directors, are independent and have no material relationship with the Company, except as directors and as shareholders of the Company.

In making their determinations, the Board found no transactions, relationships or arrangements which might impair the independence of the respective directors.

In addition, based on Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Regulations and NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, the Board affirmatively determined that Frederick J. Sandford is not independent because he is our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Indemnification

The Company’s Bylaws address indemnification of Directors and Officers. Washington law provides that Washington corporations may include within their Articles of Incorporation provisions eliminating or limiting the personal liability of their directors and officers in shareholder actions brought to obtain damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, as long as the alleged acts or omissions did not involve intentional misconduct, fraud, a knowing violation of law or payment of dividends in violation of the Washington statutes. Washington law also allows Washington corporations to include in their Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws provisions to the effect that expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred, subject to an undertaking on behalf of the officer or director that he or she will repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation because such officer or director did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that a director or officer is not personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of distribution in violation of Washington Business Corporation Act.

Code of Ethics

We have prepared a Code of Ethics applicable to all directors and employees of the Company and a separate Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer that are designed to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The draft Codes of Ethics are intended to be submitted to the Board of Directors for adoption at a regular meeting.

We intend to disclose our Codes of Ethics, and any subsequent amendments thereto, (other than technical, administrative or non-substantive amendments), and any waivers of a provision of the Code of Ethics for directors or executive officers, on our website at www.commandonline.com once such Codes of Ethics are adopted.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Company has assessed the potential risk associated with the Company’s compensation programs, including any risk that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This included an assessment of risks associated with each element of employee compensation. The assessment considered certain design features of the compensation programs that reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking, such as reasonable performance targets, capped payouts of incentive compensation, a balance of short-term and long-term incentives, a balance of cash and equity incentives, and the vesting of awards over time. The Company does not believe our compensation program encourages excessive or inappropriate risk taking.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers, directors, and certain other persons to timely file certain reports regarding ownership of and transactions in our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Copies of the required filings must also be furnished to us. Based solely upon a review of the copies of Section 16(a) forms received by us, the Reporting Persons have not all complied on each occasion with applicable filing requirements. Section 16(a) filings do not reflect the award of 20,000 shares of Command Center common stock to each of our four outside directors.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion reflects compensation paid to Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) during our fiscal year 2012, including former executive officers Glenn Welstad, Dan Jackson and Todd Welstad. Please see the Summary Compensation Table and the footnotes therein, below.

Overview of Compensation Program

We compete with many other temporary staffing companies in seeking to attract and retain a skilled work force. Our compensation philosophy is to offer our employees, including our executive officers, compensation that is competitive and that meets our goals of attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled employees, but that is also consistent with our financial goals of cost containment and long-term profitability. Utilizing this philosophy, our executive compensation policies are designed to:

●	provide a total compensation package that is competitive with other companies in the temporary staffing industry, yet is consistent with our focus on profitability; and

●	emphasize incentive and equity compensation for our executive team in order to promote long-term incentives to increase shareholder value and align the interests of our officers with those of our shareholders.

General Philosophy and Objectives

In general, our objectives in structuring compensation programs for our NEOs is to attract, retain, incentivize, and reward talented executives who can contribute to our growth and success and thereby build value for our shareholders over the long term. In the past, we have focused on cash compensation in the form of base salary as the primary element of our compensation program for NEOs.

In past years, we did not have any executive compensation policies in place, and our Board of Directors was responsible for annually evaluating individual executive performance. In 2008, the Board of Directors appointed the Compensation Committee and adopted the Compensation Committee Charter. Subsequently, our Compensation Committee has reviewed and approved all of our executive compensation packages, and determined the appropriate level of each compensation component for each NEO based upon available compensation data. Our Compensation Committee has also relied on its members’ business judgment and collective experience in our industry. Although it did not benchmark our executive compensation program and practices, our Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation levels have historically been at or below compensation levels for comparable executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development in similar industries and locations.

Elements of Our Compensation Program

The three primary components of our executive compensation program are: (i) base salary, (ii) incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses, and (iii) equity based compensation.

Base Salary: The compensation received by our NEO's consists of a base salary. Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and individual experience. Subject to any applicable employment agreements, base salaries will be reviewed annually, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

Base salaries for each of the NEO’s for 2012 were as follows:

Name	Position	2012 Base Salary Earned
Glenn Welstad	Chief Executive Officer, President	$200,000
Dan Jackson	Chief Financial Officer	$130,110
Todd Welstad	Chief Operating Officer, Chief Information Office, Executive Vice President	$185,000
Ronald L. Junck	Executive Vice President, Secretary, General Counsel	$185,000
Ralph E. Peterson	Chief Financial Officer	$74,000

On the date of this Proxy Statement, our present NEOs, along with their present base salaries for 2013 are:

Name	Position	2013 Base Salary
Frederick J. Sandford	Chief Executive Officer, President	$175,000
Ronald L. Junck	Executive Vice President, Secretary, General Counsel	$185,000
Ralph Peterson (1)	Principal Accounting Officer	--

_______________

(1)

On August 1, 2013, Ralph Peterson was appointed as non-employee Principal Accounting Officer on an interim basis. At the time of his appointment, Mr. Peterson was given nominal personal property with a value of approximately $1,000, but he received no additional compensation for serving as the Principal Accounting Officer.

Annual Bonus: In addition to base salaries, NEO compensation may include annual bonuses based on satisfactory achievement of performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. The Compensation Committee objectives for 2012 are based upon positive cash flow for the Company. Under these objectives, 35% of cash flow for the fiscal year comprises the bonus pool available for allocation among the NEOs, subject to a maximum limit for each NEO equal to base salary. We may increase the annual bonus paid to our NEO's at our discretion. Any annual bonuses must be approved by the Compensation Committee.

For 2013, the Compensation Committee has adopted an Executive Bonus Plan based upon a combination of earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and revenue. The Board of Directors believes that the current plan will best align the interests of the executive officers with the interest of the shareholders. Under this plan, the executive bonus pool will consist of the sum of: (i) 35% of EBITDA for 2013 in excess of $2,700,000 and (ii) 2% of revenue for 2013 in excess of $98,400,000. The bonus pool will be allocated 40% to the Chief Executive Officer and 20% to each other executive officer. The 2013 bonus is not subject to a maximum limit. As was the case in 2012, annual bonuses must be approved by the Compensation Committee and may, in the discretion of the Committee be increased.

Bonuses for each of the NEO’s for 2012 were as follows:

Name	Position	2012 Bonus Earned
Glenn Welstad	Chief Executive Officer, President	$107,082
Dan Jackson	Chief Financial Officer	93,810
Todd Welstad	Chief Operating Officer, Chief Information Officer, Executive Vice President	133,738
Ronald L. Junck	Executive Vice President, Secretary, General Counsel	99,050
Ralph E. Peterson	Chief Financial Officer	-

Equity and Other Compensation: We offer $20,000 of Company-paid life insurance to most employees, including officers.

Stock options granted to each of the NEO’s in 2012 were as follows:

Name	Position	2012 Stock Option Grants ($)
Glenn Welstad	Chief Executive Officer, President	-
Dan Jackson	Chief Financial Officer	$166,575
Todd Welstad	Chief Operating Officer, Chief Information Officer, Executive Vice President	$33,315
Ronald L. Junck	Executive Vice President, Secretary, General Counsel	-
Ralph E. Peterson	Chief Financial Officer	$13,326

In addition, employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and President may in the future provide for certain retirement benefits and potential payments upon termination of employment for a variety of reasons, including a change in control of our Company. See Summary of Employment Agreements below.

Summary of Executive Employment Agreements

During fiscal year 2012, there were no executive employment agreements with any NEO. On February 22, 2013, we entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Frederick J. (“Bubba”) Sanford, our new Chief Executive Officer and President. The key terms of the Agreement are as follows:

Bonus (1)	255,000	340,000	--	--
TOTAL	$510,000	$680,000	$85,000	$85,000

(2)	Includes base salary and bonus for 18 months.

(3)	Includes base salary and bonus for 24 months.

(4)	Includes base salary for six months.

Payments Made Upon Any Termination

Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment terminates, the executive is entitled to receive amounts earned during his term of employment. Such amounts include: earned but unpaid salary through the dare of termination; non-equity incentive compensation earned and payable prior to the date of termination; option grants received which have already vested and are exercisable prior to the date of termination (subject to the terms of the applicable option agreements; and unused vacation pay.

Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination Without Cause

As a result of employment agreements entered into by the Company with the named executive officers, in the event that a named executive officer’s employment is involuntarily terminated without cause, the executive would receive, in addition to the items identified under the heading “Payments Made Upon Any Termination” above:

In the case of Mr. Sandford, he will continue to receive his base salary and maximum base bonus for the remainder of the then-current term.

Payments Made Upon a Change in Control

As discussed in detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Mr. Sandford’s employment agreement, along with the Stock Award Plan, contain change in control provisions. The benefits, in addition to the items listed under the heading “Payments Made Upon Any Termination” above, include:

In the case of Mr. Sandford, he will continue to receive his base salary and bonus for 24 months.

Payments Made Upon Death or Permanent Disability

In the event of the death or permanent disability of a named executive officer, the executive would receive, in addition to the items listed under the heading “Payments Made Upon Any Termination” above:

In the case of Mr. Sandford, his personal representative or estate will continue to receive the executive's base salary during the six-month period following the date of termination.

Other Retirement or Disability Payments

Except for Mr. Sanford, the Company has no formal retirement obligations to make any payments to any other NEO upon his death, disability or retirement.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

From a philosophical standpoint, the Company does not provide NEO’s with perquisites and personal benefits that are not available to all employees. The Company makes available standard health benefits packages including medical, dental and vision coverage, for the same premium contributions as offered to all full time employees of the Company. The Company believes that the compensation potential available from its three main components of compensation detailed herein are sufficiently attractive that the reliance on other forms of exclusive perquisites and benefits are not necessary to enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions.

The Company does not believe that the aggregate value of any perquisites for any NEO exceeds $10,000 per year.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee meets regularly with our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sandford, to obtain recommendations with respect to Company compensation programs, practices and packages for executives, other employees and directors. Mr. Sandford makes recommendations to the Committee regarding the base salary and equity compensation for the executive team. The Compensation Committee values Mr. Sanford’s input since he is well placed to know the capabilities and achievements of each of our NEOs, as well as what would motivate his team financially, both in terms of long-term and short-term compensation.

Mr. Sandford attends many of the Committee's meetings, but the Committee also regularly holds executive sessions not attended by any members of management or non-independent directors. The Committee discusses Mr. Sanford’s compensation package with him, but makes decisions with respect to his compensation without him present. The Committee has not delegated any of its authority with respect to the compensation of executive officers. The Committee also consults our Principal Financial Officer and General Counsel in evaluating the financial, accounting, tax and legal implications of our various compensation programs.

Policy on Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to a public Company for compensation over $1 million paid to its chief executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive officers. However, if certain performance-based requirements are met, qualifying compensation will not be subject to this deduction limit. Current compensation levels are substantially below $1,000,000 to our CEO and the other four most highly compensated executive officers. While the limitations of Section 162(m) generally have not been of concern to us, we intend to consider the requirements of Section 162(m) in developing our compensation policies in the future.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments, including its stock option plans in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the foregoing “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” as required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with Management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this Proxy Statement and the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2012.

Summary of Director Compensation

Our employee directors receive no additional compensation for attendance at Board meetings or meetings of Board committees.
