TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and subsidiaries (referred to as the
"Company"), provides a broad spectrum of outsourced human resource services,
including professional employer organization (PEO), payroll processing, human
resource administration and placement of temporary and permanent employees.
Effective August 31, 2001, the Company acquired all the stock of BrightLane.com,
Inc. (BrightLane), an Online Business Center and technology group providing
Internet-based solutions for growing businesses. BrightLane's developed
technology had focused on increasing buying power and reducing transaction costs
for growing businesses. This technology is now refocused to drive a new venture
for the Company under the name "TeamStaff ConnXions." TeamStaff ConnXions will
be a conduit to both the clients and worksite employees of TeamStaff offering a
variety of services through strategic partners such as a full line of insurance
and benefit products and procurement services. BrightLane integrates these
services through proprietary unified login and hub technology that offers
businesses security. BrightLane is also spearheading the technology efforts of
the Company in total. Other than payments for fractional shares, the
shareholders of BrightLane received an aggregate of 8,066,522 shares of
TeamStaff's Common Stock in exchange for their BrightLane Common Stock, Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred Stock.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company acquired the accounts and related assets
of Corporate Staffing Concepts, LLC, a PEO entity operating primarily in western
Massachusetts and Connecticut. This asset acquisition is not material to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report
on Form 10-K. This financial information reflects, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to
present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of TeamStaff,
Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of operations of acquired
companies have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date of acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
8 of 29
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassed to conform to current year
presentation.
(2) RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141) and
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141
changes the accounting for business combinations, requiring that all business
combinations be accounted for using the purchase method and that intangible
assets be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they arise from
contractual or other legal rights, or if they are separable or capable of being
separated from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or
exchanged. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 specifies the financial accounting and
reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and
indefinite life intangible assets will not be amortized but rather will be
tested at least annually for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. However, early adoption is allowed and
the Company has adopted SFAS No. 142 as of October 1, 2001.
SFAS No. 142 requires that the useful lives of intangible assets acquired on or
before June 30, 2001 be reassessed and the remaining amortization periods
adjusted accordingly. Previously recognized intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives should be tested for impairment. The Company's intangible
assets consist primarily of the TeamStaff trade name and the First
Union/Wachovia Relationship. This relationship requires First Union/Wachovia to
promote TeamStaff's services to its banking customers throughout the United
States. All of the Company's intangible assets have indefinite lives and are no
longer being amortized effective October 1, 2001 because they are expected to
generate cash flows indefinitely. The effect of not amortizing goodwill and
intangible assets on income before income taxes and net income for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 is $234,000 and $195,000, respectively and for the
nine months ended June 30, 2001 is $714,000 and $585,000, respectively. The
Company estimates that net income and diluted earnings per share would have been
approximately $614,000 and $0.07, respectively, for the three months ended June
30, 2001 and $1,945,000 and $0.24, respectively, for the nine months ended June
30, 2001 had the provisions of the new standard been applied as of October 1,
2000. The Company tested its intangible assets during the first quarter, as
required by SFAS No. 142, and there was no impairment. The Company has tested
its goodwill for impairment during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as required
by SFAS No. 142 and there is no impairment. As of June 30, 2002, total goodwill
was $27,289,000 consisting of $25,584,000 and $1,705,000 for the PEO and Medical
Staffing segments respectively. Goodwill for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2002 increased $90,000 and $848,000, respectively. The increase, all of
which related to PEO operations, resulted primarily from the acquisition of
Corporate Staffing Concepts, LLC and additional cost associated with the
BrightLane acquisition.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and is
effective for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management
9 of 29
does not expect the impact of SFAS No. 143 to be material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of, and establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Management does not expect the impact of SFAS No. 144 to be
material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
On May 1, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1,
2002. The Company is in the process of evaluating what impact, if any, this
standard will have on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 is effective for disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is in the
process of evaluating what impact, if any, this standard will have on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") is calculated by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted
EPS") is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to
reflect potentially dilutive securities.
The following table reconciles net income and share amounts used to calculate
basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share as they were not dilutive.

(4) INCOME TAXES:
The Company has recorded an $8,925,000 and a $9,225,000 deferred tax asset at
June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively. This represents management's
estimate of the income tax benefits to be realized upon utilization of its net
operating losses and tax credits as well as temporary differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, for which
management believes utilization to be more likely than not. Management believes
the Company's operations can generate sufficient taxable income to realize this
deferred tax asset.
(5) WORKERS' COMPENSATION:
As of March 22, 2002, TeamStaff's insurance provider is Zurich American
Insurance Company (Zurich) and the program is managed by Cedar Hill Insurance
Agency, Inc (Cedar Hill).
The Zurich program will cover the period March 22, 2002 through April 1, 2003,
inclusive. The program contains a large deductible feature of $500,000 for each
claim, with no maximum liability cap. The premium for the program is paid on a
monthly basis based on estimated payroll for the year and is subject to a
year-end audit. The Zurich deductible program is collateralized by a letter of
credit inuring to the benefit of Zurich, and cash held in a trust account with a
third party. The letter of credit for $4,150,000 has been secured through Fleet
National Bank (Fleet), as part of the Company's line of credit. Payments will be
made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the year. Interest on
all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and
claims expenses will be made from the trust. Payments to the trust may be
adjusted from time to time based on program experience. Claims handling services
will be provided by a third party administrator assigned by Cedar Hill.
Additionally, TeamStaff has outsourced its underwriting and program management
for the Zurich program to Cedar Hill and The Hobbs Group, the Company's workers'
compensation insurance broker. At June 30, 2002, the Company has a prepaid
current asset of $1,494,000 for the premiums and the prepayments made to
the trust.
TeamStaff's primary workers' compensation insurance provider from January 22,
2001 through March 21, 2002, was Continental Assurance (CNA). This policy
covered its corporate employees, the worksite employees co-employed by TeamStaff
and its PEO clients, and the temporary employees employed by TeamStaff to
fulfill various client-staffing assignments. TeamStaff does not provide workers'
compensation to non-employees of the Company.
The CNA policy originally covered the period from January 22, 2001 through
January 21, 2002, but was extended to March 21, 2002. It was a large deductible
program ($250,000 for each claim) with a maximum liability cap. The premium for
the policy was paid monthly based upon estimated payroll for the year and is
subject to a year-end audit by the provider. TeamStaff also maintained a
separate policy insuring a portion of the maximum deductible cap, which it may
be required to pay if claims exceed a determined number. To date, the Company
does not anticipate any additional payments will be required. The policy,
including the extension, insures payment of the maximum cap in excess of the
first $2,093,000, which the Company pays, up to $8,663,000. Once the $8,663,000
is exceeded, then the Company pays 89.5% of paid claims up to $12,133,000. If
the claims and fixed costs under the policy are less than the amounts
11 of 29
TeamStaff paid, plus investment returns thereon, the insurer will refund the
difference to TeamStaff.
As part of the two-month extension, which was negotiated in January 2002, the
Company was required to pay $495,000 which CNA asserted was owed to cover costs
for claims incurred during the policy years 1997 - 1999. As previously
disclosed, the Company had received a release for those periods from CNA in
January 2001, when the Company accepted CNA as its new insurance carrier. The
Company has denied CNA's claim and, to date, has received $224,000 back from the
original $495,000 payment. It is the Company's belief that the remaining funds
should be returned as well. Should the Company be unsuccessful in receiving a
refund of all monies paid, it will be required to absorb these claims. However,
the Company has a liability on its books for the estimated claims for the
two-month extension, which exceeds the $271,000 disputed amount. Accordingly,
the Company plans to offset this amount from any monies owed CNA.
TeamStaff maintained a separate policy for certain of the business of its
subsidiary, HR2, Inc., which had provided that TeamStaff was only responsible
for the audited premium for each policy period. This policy ended on December
31, 2001. From January 1, 2002 through March 21, 2002, these employees were
covered under the CNA policy.
On August 7, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a prior workers'
compensation and employer's liability insurance carrier fully and finally
settling all loss and expense charges for periods of coverage through the
insurance carrier in exchange for an immediate payment by the Company. Pursuant
to the agreement, the insurance carrier agreed that no more recalculations would
be done for any of the Company's workers' compensation programs with the
carrier. As a result of the final adjustment, the Company reduced its reserve
for workers' compensation which resulted in a decrease in direct expenses of
$2,661,000.
The Company records in direct expenses a monthly charge based upon its estimate
of the year's ultimate fully developed claims plus the fixed costs charged by
the insurance carrier to support the program. This estimate is established each
quarter based in part upon information provided by the Company's insurers,
internal analysis and its insurance broker. The Company's internal analysis
includes a quarterly review of open claims and a review of historical claims
related to the workers' compensation programs. While management uses available
information, including nationwide loss ratios, to estimate ultimate claims,
future adjustments may be necessary based on actual claims. Since the recorded
ultimate expense is based upon a ten-year projection of actual claims payment
and the timing of these payments as well as the interest earned on the Company's
prepayments, the Company relies on actuarial tables to estimate its ultimate
expense.
The Company's clients are billed at fixed rates, which are determined when the
contract is negotiated with the client. The fixed rates include charges for
workers' compensation, which are based upon the Company's assessment of the
costs of providing workers' compensation to the client. If the Company's costs
for workers' compensation for the workers' compensation policy year are greater
than the costs that are included in the client's contractual rate, the Company
is unable to recover these excess charges from the clients. The Company reserves
the right in its contracts to increase the workers' compensation charges on a
prospective basis only and may do so when its workers' compensation policy is
renewed or when workers compensation rates are increased by state agencies.

As of June 30, 2002, the adequacy of the workers' compensation reserves was
determined, in management's opinion, to be reasonable. However, since these
reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed due to their
relatively young age, and such variables as timing of payments and investment
returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, actual results may vary from current
estimates. The Company will continue to monitor the development of these
reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of
these payments, the interest accumulated in the Company's prepayments and adjust
the reserves as deemed appropriate.
(6) ACQUISITION OF BRIGHTLANE:
Effective August 31, 2001, the Company acquired BrightLane. Under the terms of
the purchase agreement, the Company acquired all the stock of BrightLane through
the issuance of 8,066,522 shares of TeamStaff stock, valued at approximately
$41,900,000. The Company also incurred $2,534,000 of certain legal, accounting
and investment banking expenses, resulting in a total purchase price of
$44,434,000. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method
and the results of operations of the acquired company have been included in the
statement of income since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price has
been allocated based on the estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition
as stated below:
Cash acquired $12,031,000
Deferred tax asset 7,400,000
Investment in TeamStaff preferred stock 3,500,000
Other assets acquired, net 1,538,000
First Union/Wachovia relationship 6,900,000
Tradename 10,000
Goodwill 13,055,000
-----------
Total $44,434,000
===========
In connection with the transaction, persons holding BrightLane options to
acquire approximately 2,078,000 BrightLane shares (the equivalent of
approximately 481,000 TeamStaff shares) exercised their options. TeamStaff made
recourse loans of approximately $1,047,000 to the holders of these options to
assist them in the payment of tax obligations incurred with respect to the
exercise of the options. The loans are repayable upon the earlier of (i) sale of
the TeamStaff shares or (ii) three years. As of June 30, 2002, approximately
$339,000 of these loans has been repaid or forgiven. All loans must be repaid in
cash with the exception of one loan. Under the terms of the Company's employment
agreement with an executive officer of the Company's BrightLane subsidiary, the
loan ($131,000) is to be forgiven over a two-year period of time as long as the
officer remains employed by the Company.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of consolidated
financial results of operations of the Company and BrightLane as if the
acquisition had occurred October 1, 2000.

(7) DEBT:
On April 9, 2002, the Company entered into a revolving loan facility with Fleet
National Bank, (Fleet). The total outstanding loan amount cannot exceed at any
one time the lesser of $7,000,000 or the sum of 85% of qualified accounts
receivable, less an amount reserved by Fleet to support ACH processing exposure.
The interest rate is either the Fleet prime rate or LIBOR, at the discretion of
the Company, and is currently 4.75%. The facility is collateralized by
substantially all of the assets of the Company, including its accounts
receivables. The facility is subject to certain covenants including, but not
limited to, interest rate coverage of 2.0 to 1.0, total liabilities to tangible
net worth ratio of 2.0 to 1.0, and minimum working capital of $10,000,000. As of
June 30, 2002, there was no amount outstanding on the credit facility. The
Company has an outstanding letter of credit of $4,150,000 under the facility for
the Company's workers' compensation policy, as previously mentioned.
(8) SEGMENT REPORTING:
The Company operates three different lines of business: professional employer
organization (PEO), medical staffing and payroll services.
The PEO segment provides services such as payroll processing, personnel
administration, benefits administration, workers' compensation administration
and tax filing services to small business owners. Essentially, in this business
segment, the Company provides services that function as the human resource
department for small to medium sized companies wherein the Company becomes a
co-employer.
The Company currently provides temporary and permanent medical staffing for
medical imaging professionals and nurses with hospitals, clinics and therapy
centers. Medical staffing enables clients to attain management and productivity
goals by matching highly trained professionals and technical personnel to
specific project requirements.
Through its payroll services business segment, the Company provides basic
payroll services to its clients, approximately 70% of which are in the
construction industry. Services provided include the preparation of payroll
checks, filing of payroll taxes, government reports, W-2's, remote processing
directly to the client's offices and certified payrolls.
All corporate expenses, amortization of goodwill (until October 1, 2001),
interest expense, as well as depreciation on corporate assets and miscellaneous
charges, are reflected in a separate unit called Corporate.
The Company has changed its segment reporting as of October 1, 2001. The
contract staffing business located in New York City, which included
voucher-processing services, a small amount
14 of 29
of PEO services and temporary staffing services, had been previously reported in
temporary staffing. The voucher processing service business is now managed and
reported in the Payroll Services group. The PEO and temporary staffing business
is now managed and reported in PEO. BrightLane costs have been allocated to
Corporate since BrightLane is primarily viewed as the information technology
department of the Company. Prior year figures have been adjusted to conform to
the current year presentation.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates the
performance of its business lines based on pre-tax income.
The following tables present the condensed financial results for the nine and
three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 for each of the Company's segments:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"1995 Reform Act"). TeamStaff, Inc. desires to avail itself of certain "safe
harbor" provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this
special note to enable the Company to do so. Forward-looking statements included
in this report involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors
which could cause the Company's actual results, performance (financial or
operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance
(financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such future results are management's best estimates
based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. These
risks include, but are not limited to, risks associated with risks undertaken in
connection with acquisitions, risks from potential workers' compensation claims
and required payments, risks from employer/employee related suits such as
discrimination or wrongful termination, risks associated with payroll and
employee related taxes which may require unanticipated payments by the Company,
liabilities associated with the Company's status under certain federal and state
employment laws as a co-employer, effects of competition, the Company's ability
to implement its internet based business and technological changes, and
dependence upon key personnel.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company believes the accounting policies below represent its critical
accounting policies due to the significance or estimation process involved in
each. See Note 2 of the Company's 2001 annual report on Form 10-K for a detailed
discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company operates three different lines of business from which it derives
substantially all of its revenue: professional employer organization (PEO),
medical staffing and payroll services.
PEO revenue is recognized as service is rendered. The PEO revenue consists of
charges by the Company for the wages and employer payroll taxes of the worksite
employees, the administrative service fee, workers' compensation charges, and
the health and retirement benefits provided to the worksite employees. These
charges are invoiced to the client at the time of each periodic payroll. The
Company negotiates the pricing for its various services on a client-by-client
basis based on factors such as market conditions, client needs and services
requested, the client's workers' compensation experience, the type of client
business and the required resources to service the account, among other factors.
Because the pricing is negotiated separately with each client and varies
according to circumstances, the Company's revenue, and therefore its gross
margin, will fluctuate based on the Company's client mix.
17 of 29
The medical staffing revenue is recognized as service is rendered. The Company
bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover
the Company's direct labor costs of the temporary employees, plus an estimate to
cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, included in revenue
related to medical staffing are commissions from permanent placements.
Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a
medical employee to a customer's workforce as a permanent employee.
The payroll services revenue is recognized as service is rendered and consists
primarily of administrative service fees charged to clients for the processing
of paychecks as well as preparing quarterly and annual payroll related reports.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19 "Reporting Revenue Gross
as a Principal versus Net as an Agent," the Company recognizes all amounts
billed to its PEO and medical staffing customers as gross revenue because the
Company is at risk for the payment of its direct costs, whether or not the
Company's customers pay the Company on a timely basis or at all, and the Company
assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as a co-employer of
its worksite employees, and employer of its medical employees, and therefore, is
deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. The Company also
recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis,
any such amounts which relate to services performed by worksite and medical
employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the
accounting period.
Direct costs of services are reflected in the Company's Statement of Income as
"direct expenses" and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. PEO
direct costs of revenue include wages paid to worksite employees, employment
related taxes, costs of health and welfare benefit plans, and workers'
compensation insurance costs. Direct costs of the medical staffing business
include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses. Payroll
services' direct costs includes salaries and supplies associated with the
processing of the payroll service.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Beginning October 1, 2001, with the adoption of the new required accounting
standard, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill or indefinite life intangible
assets. The Company will also continue to review annually its goodwill and other
intangible assets for possible impairment or loss of value. The Company
determined that no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets existed as of
the date of adoption.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
As of March 22, 2002, TeamStaff's insurance provider is Zurich American
Insurance Company (Zurich) and the program will be managed by Cedar Hill
Insurance Agency, Inc (Cedar Hill).
The Zurich program will cover the period March 22, 2002 through April 1, 2003,
inclusive. The program contains a large deductible feature of $500,000 for each
claim, with no maximum liability cap. The premium for the program is paid on a
monthly basis based on estimated payroll for the year and is subject to a
year-end audit. The Zurich deductible program is collateralized by a letter of
credit inuring to the benefit of Zurich American Insurance Company, and cash
held in a trust account with a third party. The letter of credit for $4,150,000
has been secured through
18 of 29
Fleet National Bank (Fleet), as part of the Company's line of credit. Payments
will be made to the trust on a monthly basis based on projected claims for the
year. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff.
Payments for claims and claims expenses will be made from the trust. Payments to
the trust may be adjusted from time to time based on program experience. Claims
handling services will be provided by a third party administrator assigned by
Cedar Hill. Additionally, TeamStaff has outsourced its underwriting and program
management for the Zurich program to Cedar Hill Insurance Agency, Inc. and The
Hobbs Group, the Company's workers' compensation insurance broker. At June 30,
2002, the Company has a prepaid current asset of $1,494,000 for the premium and
the prepayments made to the trust.
TeamStaff's primary workers' compensation insurance provider from January 22,
2001 through March 21, 2002, was Continental Assurance (CNA). This policy
covered its corporate employees, the worksite employees co-employed by TeamStaff
and its PEO clients, and the temporary employees employed by TeamStaff to
fulfill various client-staffing assignments. TeamStaff does not provide workers'
compensation to non-employees of the Company.
The CNA policy originally covered the period from January 22, 2001, through
January 21, 2002, but was extended to March 21, 2002. It was a large deductible
program ($250,000 for each claim) with a maximum liability cap. The premium for
the policy was paid monthly based upon estimated payroll for the year and is
subject to a year-end audit by the provider. TeamStaff also maintained a
separate policy insuring a portion of the maximum deductible cap, which it may
be required to pay if claims exceed a determined number. The Company does not
anticipate any additional payments will be required. The policy, including the
extension, insures payment of the maximum cap in excess of the first $2,093,000,
which the Company pays, up to $8,663,000. Once the $8,663,000 is exceeded, the
Company pays 89.5% of paid claims up to $12,133,000. If the claims and fixed
costs under the policy are less than the amounts TeamStaff paid, plus investment
returns thereon, the insurer will refund the difference to TeamStaff.
As part of the two-month extension, which was negotiated in January 2002, the
Company was required to pay $495,000 which CNA asserted was owed to cover costs
for claims incurred during the policy years 1997 - 1999. As previously
disclosed, the Company had received a release for those periods from CNA in
January 2001, when the Company accepted CNA as its new insurance carrier. The
Company has denied CNA's claim and to date, has received $224,000 back from the
original $495,000 payment. It is the Company's belief that the remaining funds
should be returned as well. Should the Company be unsuccessful in receiving a
refund of all monies paid, it will be required to absorb these claims. However,
the Company has a liability on its books for the estimated claims for the
two-month extension, which exceeds the $271,000 disputed amount. Accordingly,
the company plans to offset this amount from any monies owed CNA.
TeamStaff maintained a separate policy for certain of the business of its
subsidiary, HR2, Inc., which had provided that TeamStaff was only responsible
for the audited premium for each policy period. This policy ended on December
31, 2001. From January 1, 2002 through March 21, 2002, these employees were
covered under the CNA policy.
On August 7, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a prior workers'
compensation and employer's liability insurance carrier fully and finally
settling all loss and expense charges for periods of coverage through the
insurance carrier in exchange for an immediate payment by
19 of 29
the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the insurance carrier agreed that no
more recalculations would be done for any of the Company's workers' compensation
programs with the carrier. As a result of the final adjustment, the Company
reduced its reserve for workers' compensation which resulted in a decrease in
direct expenses of $2,661,000.
The Company records in direct expenses a monthly charge based upon its estimate
of the year's ultimate fully developed claims plus the fixed costs charged by
the insurance carrier to support the program. This estimate is established each
quarter based in part upon information provided by the Company's insurers,
internal analysis and its insurance broker. The Company's internal analysis
includes quarterly review of open claims and review of historical claims related
to the workers' compensation programs. While management uses available
information, including nationwide loss ratios, to estimate ultimate claims,
future adjustments may be necessary based on actual claims. Since the recorded
ultimate expense is based upon a ten-year projection of actual claims payment
and the timing of these payments, as well as the interest earned on the
Company's prepayments, the Company relies on actuarial tables to estimate its
ultimate expense.
The Company's clients are billed at fixed rates, which are determined when the
contract is negotiated with the client. The fixed rates include charges for
workers' compensation, which are based upon the Company's assessment of the
costs of providing workers' compensation to the client. If the Company's costs
for workers' compensation for the workers' compensation policy year are greater
than the costs that are included in the client's contractual rate, the Company
is unable to recover these excess charges from the clients. The Company reserves
the right in its contracts to increase the workers' compensation charges on a
prospective basis only and may do so when its workers' compensation policy is
renewed or when workers compensation rates are increased by state agencies
As of June 30, 2002, the adequacy of the workers' compensation reserves was
determined, in management's opinion, to be reasonable. However, since these
reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed due to their
relatively young age, and such variables as timing of payments and investment
returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, actual results may vary from current
estimates. The Company will continue to monitor the development of these
reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of
these payments, the interest accumulated in the Company's prepayments and adjust
the reserves as deemed appropriate.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
$174,930,000 and $164,427,000 respectively, which represents an increase of
$10,503,000 or 6.4%. While the Company's Medical Staffing business continued its
strong growth, growing $1,929,000, or 11.9%, over last year's third quarter, PEO
revenues grew $8,413,000, or 5.7%, over the same period last year. The modest
growth in revenue in PEO is principally the result of two factors: the sale of
the Company's El Paso based PEO business in September 2001 and the loss of a
major customer. In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the El Paso business
accounted for approximately $6.5 million in PEO revenue. In addition, a large
customer in our Boca Raton, Florida PEO region filed for bankruptcy protection
in the fourth fiscal quarter of last year and we ceased providing services to
the entity effective in July 2001. This resulted in a loss in revenue of
approximately $7.2 million on a quarterly basis. The Company's PEO revenue
growth is being affected in part by the Company's program, begun in the second
fiscal quarter of 2002, to review
20 of 29
the profitability of all PEO clients and effect price increases where
appropriate to meet a targeted level of profitability. For the nine months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company's revenues were $502,220,000 and
$487,497,000 respectively, which represents an increase of $14,723,000 or 3%.
The Medical Staffing business grew $11,409,000 or 25.3%. PEO revenues increased
$3,040,000 or 0.7%. The combined effect of the sale of the El Paso business and
the ending of our relationship with the bankrupted customer was approximately
$45.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002
Direct expenses were $164,020,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
$157,315,000 for the comparable period last year, representing an increase of
$6,705,000 or 4.3%. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were 93.8% and 95.7%, respectively. This
decrease is due primarily to the settlement of approximately four years of
workers' compensation programs with one of the Company's former insurance
carriers resulting in a reduction of direct expense by approximately $2.7
million. In addition, the Company's Medical Staffing business made up a larger
percentage of the consolidated revenue of the Company in this quarter versus the
same quarter in fiscal 2001, with its lower direct expenses as a percentage of
its revenue. In the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Medical Staffing
business made up 10.4% of the Company's consolidated revenue versus 9.9% in the
three months ended June 30, 2001. In the three months ended June 30, 2001, the
Company recorded a $582,000 workers' compensation charge to increase its
workers' compensation reserve for the policy period covering August 1, 1999 to
January 21, 2001. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, direct
expenses were $475,822,000 and $466,891,000 respectively, representing an
increase of $8,931,000 or 1.9%. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for
the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were 94.7% and 95.8%, respectively.
This reduction is due to the reasons previously stated. In the nine months ended
June 30, 2002, the Medical Staffing business made up 11.2% of the Company's
consolidated revenue versus 9.2% in the nine months ended June 30, 2001.
Gross profit was $10,910,000 and $7,112,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively, representing an increase of $3,798,000 or 53.4%. Gross
profit, as a percentage of revenue, was 6.2% and 4.3% for the quarters ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the gross profit
percentage is primarily due to the $2.7 million insurance settlement previously
mentioned, the continued growth in the Medical Staffing business and the
increased profitability in the PEO business. Eliminating the impact of the
insurance settlement, gross profit would have been approximately $8.2 million,
representing a 16% improvement over the same period last year. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenue would have been 4.7%. As previously stated, the Company
reflected a $582,000 workers' compensation charge in the third fiscal quarter of
2001, to increase reserves to the maximum limit for the policy period August 1,
1999 through January 21, 2001 based upon the increased development of incurred
losses. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, gross profit was
$26,398,000 and $20,606,000 respectively, representing an increase of $5,792,000
or 28.1%. Gross profit, as a percent of revenue, for the nine months ended June
30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, was 5.3% and 4.2%, respectively. The increase was
due to the reasons stated above. Eliminating the impact of the insurance
settlement, gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 would have been
approximately $23.7 million, or 15.2% higher then the same period last year. As
a percentage of revenue, gross profit would have been 4.7%. Eliminating the
impact of the $582,000 workers' compensation charge recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001, gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2001
as a percentage of revenue would have been 4.1%.
21 of 29
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $7,546,000 and $5,787,000, respectively,
representing an increase of $1,759,000 or 30.4%. As a percentage of revenue,
SG&A expenses increased to 4.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 versus 3.5%
in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Of this increase, $252,000 was due to the
acquisition of BrightLane, $129,000 was due to the acquisition of certain assets
from Corporate Staffing Concepts LLC ("CSC"), $175,000 was due to a bonus given
to the Chief Executive Officer upon the successful negotiation of the Company's
new workers' compensation policy, $205,000 was due to investment banking fees
and related cost incurred with respect to the analysis of strategic alternatives
associated with the Medical Staffing business and $247,000 was due to other
one-time Corporate overhead expense increases. The SG&A expenses in the
Company's Medical Staffing business grew by $311,000, in order to support its
growing business. Excluding the SG&A expenses from the acquisition of CSC, PEO
SG&A expenses increased $241,000 over the same quarter last year. Excluding the
impact of these costs, PEO SG&A for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased
7.3% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2001. This reflects the cost
reductions implemented in the second and third quarter of fiscal 2002, as
previously announced.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, SG&A expenses were $21,268,000
and $16,435,000 respectively, an increase of $4,833,000 or 29.4%. As a percent
of revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 4.2% in the nine months ended June 30,
2002 versus 3.4% in the nine months ended June 30, 2001. Of this increase,
$1,485,000 was due to the acquisition of BrightLane, while $240,000 was due to
the acquisition of the assets of Corporate Staffing Concepts LLC. The SG&A
expenses in the Company's Medical Staffing business grew by $971,000, in order
to support its growing business. Corporate overhead grew by $1,481,000, which
was mainly due to $159,000 in acquisition costs incurred in two aborted PEO
acquisition efforts, $409,000 in staff additions, $175,000 was due to a bonus
given to the Chief Executive Officer upon the successful negotiation of the
Company's new workers' compensation policy, $205,000 was due to investment
banking fees and related cost incurred with respect to the analysis of strategic
alternatives associated with the Medical Staffing business, $247,000 was due to
other one-time Corporate overhead expense increases and $212,000 in corporate
insurance associated with the growth of the Company. PEO SG&A expenses increased
$631,000 or 6.5% over the same period last year. Of this increase, $240,000 was
due to the acquisition of CSC and $155,000 was due to increased bad debt
expense. Excluding the impact of these costs, PEO SG&A increased $236,000 or 2%
over the nine months ended June 30, 2001. This reflects management's ongoing
efforts to reduce the PEO overhead costs.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
were $355,000 and $358,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $3,000 or
0.8%. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, depreciation and
amortization were $1,017,000 and $1,078,000, respectively, representing a
decrease of $61,000 or 5.7%. As a result of implementing SFAS No.142 as of
October 1, 2001, the Company has ceased amortizing any indefinite life
intangible assets and goodwill. In the three and nine months ended June 30,
2001,
22 of 29
the Company amortized $234,000 and $714,000 respectively, in intangible assets.
This decrease was partially offset by depreciation expense from the software and
hardware acquired in the BrightLane transaction.
Interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
$299,000 and $203,000, respectively, representing an increase of $96,000 or
47.3%. Of this increase, $60,000 reflects the referral fees the Company is
receiving as a result of the referral to a third party of certain of the former
Medical Staffing business when it closed its Houston Medical Staffing service
office in April 2002. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, interest
and other income were $887,000 and $621,000, respectively, representing an
increase of $266,000 or 42.8% for the same reason as mentioned for the quarter,
as well as increased late payment fees.
Interest and other expense were $60,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as
compared to $446,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001, representing a decrease
of $386,000 or 86.5%. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, interest
and other expense were $92,000 and $1,373,000, respectively, representing a
decrease of $1,281,000 or 93.3%. These decreases were due to the retirement of
the Company's debt facility with FINOVA Capital affected August 31, 2001.
Income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $1,205,000 versus $305,000
for the similar period last year. The Company's effective tax rate was 37.1% and
42.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income
taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 were $1,785,000 versus $981,000
for the similar period last year. The Company's effective tax rate was 36.4% and
41.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months relates to
non-deductible goodwill, which, as of October 1, 2001, is no longer amortized as
a result of implementing SFAS No. 142.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $2,043,000, or $0.13 per
fully diluted share, as compared to $419,000, or $0.05 per fully diluted share,
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Net income for the nine months ended June
30, 2002 was $3,123,000, or $0.19 per fully diluted share, as compared to
$1,360,000, or $0.17 per fully diluted share for the nine months ended June 30,
2001. Eliminating the impact of the various items mentioned above, including the
favorable settlement on the workers' compensation policies of $2,661,000,
investment banking fees and related cost incurred with respect to the analysis
of strategic alternatives associated with the Medical Staffing business of
$205,000, the bonus given to the Chief Executive Officer upon the successful
negotiation of the Company's new workers' compensation policy of $175,000 and
the $247,000 one-time Corporate overhead increases, net income for the three
months and nine months ended June 30, 2002 would have been $823,000 and
$1,903,000, respectively. Excluding the impact of a $582,000 workers'
compensation charge for the policy period August 1, 1999 through January 21,
2001, which was reflected in the quarter ended June 30, 2001, net income for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2001 would have been $757,000 and
$1,698,000 respectively. Earnings per fully diluted share for those prior
periods would have been $0.09 and $0.21 respectively. As a result of these
items, net earnings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002, increased
8.7% and 12.1% respectively, from the same periods last year, as adjusted. Net
income per fully diluted share would have been $0.05 and $0.12, respectively.
Diluted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2002 doubled from 8,320,702 at June
30, 2001, to 16,201,579. The increased shares were due to the BrightLane
acquisition in August 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal
2002 was $2,517,000 compared to $3,237,000 during the same period of fiscal
2001. The decrease in cash from
23 of 29
operations compared to last year relates primarily to timing of payments in this
period versus the same period last year in accounts payable, accrued payroll and
expenses. The timing and amounts of such payments can vary significantly based
on various factors, including the day of the week on which a month ends and the
existence of holidays on or immediately following a month end. In addition there
was an increase in other current assets of $1,256,000 primarily resulting from
prepayments to our workers' compensation insurance carrier and a lower increase
in accounts receivable then the prior period due to the change in payment terms
in the TeamStaff SB PEO business, offset to some extent by the continued
earnings improvement of the Company.
Cash used in investing activities of $2,650,000 was primarily related to:
cost incurred for the implementation of the Lawson financial system amounting
to $814,000; capitalized internally developed software of $414,000;
other computer hardware and software of $152,000; and capital additions
associated with the move to our new PEO location in Boca Raton, Florida of
$246,000. Cash invested in acquisitions of $848,000 was due to the purchase of
the assets of Corporate Staffing Concepts amounting to $282,000 and additional
charges to goodwill associated with the acquisition of BrightLane of $730,000,
which were related to adjustments of estimates for professional services and
employment contracts.
The cash used in financing activities of $689,000 included the repurchase of
$780,000 of the Company's stock, offset slightly by proceeds from the exercise
of options and warrants. During the nine months ended June 30, 2002, the Company
repurchased 147,544 shares at an average price of $5.29.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13,032,000
and net accounts receivable of $25,794,000.
Management of the Company believes that its existing cash will be sufficient to
support cash needs for the next twelve months. The amount of available cash
includes cash held for future payroll and other related taxes payable on a
quarterly basis.
On July 22, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up
to 3% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Since inception,
the Company has repurchased 234,855 shares at an average cost of $5.46. These
share repurchases are reflected as treasury shares in the Company's financial
statements and will be retired. There were no shares repurchased this quarter.
However through the nine months ended June 30, 2002, 147,544 of the shares have
been bought at a cost of $780,000.
On April 9, 2002 the Company entered into a revolving loan facility with Fleet
National Bank (Fleet). The total outstanding loan amount cannot exceed at any
one time the lesser of $7,000,000 or the sum of 85% of qualified accounts
receivable, less an amount reserved by the Bank to support ACH processing
exposure. The interest rate is either the Fleet prime rate or LIBOR, at the
discretion of the Company, and is currently 4.75%. The facility is
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including its
accounts receivable. The facility is subject to certain covenants including, but
not limited to, interest rate coverage of 2.0 to 1.0, total liabilities to
tangible net worth ratio of 2.0 to 1.0, and minimum working capital of
$10,000,000. As of June 30, 2002, there was no amount outstanding on the credit
facility. The Company has an outstanding letter of credit of $4,150,000 for the
Company's workers' compensation policy, as previously mentioned.

EFFECTS ON INFLATION
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on the Company's
net revenues and results of operations in the last three fiscal years, as the
Company has been able to modify its prices and cost structure to respond to
inflation and changing prices.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
The Company does not undertake trading practices in securities or other
financial instruments and therefore does not have any material exposure to
interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or
other similar risks which might otherwise result from such practices. The
Company has no material interest rate risk and is not subject to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or other market rates or prices from
market sensitive instruments.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is engaged in litigation from time to time during the ordinary
course of business in connection with employee suits, workers' compensation and
other matters.
TeamStaff's subsidiary, BrightLane.com, Inc. is party to a suit brought by one
of its former shareholders (Atomic Fusion, Inc. v. BrightLane.com, Inc. Civil
Action No ONS02246OE, Fulton County State Court, Georgia, which the plaintiff
has moved to transfer to Fulton County Superior Court, Georgia). The plaintiff
seeks damages for alleged unpaid contractual services provided to BrightLane,
alleging that the shares (both in number and value) of BrightLane stock provided
to the plaintiff's in payment of services were inadequate to pay for the alleged
agreed upon value of services (approximately $70,000). The plaintiff claims that
they should have received BrightLane shares at $0.13 per share (approximately
538,000 BrightLane shares, equal to approximately 116,000 TeamStaff shares). The
Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter and believes that it
has meritorious and valid defenses to plaintiff's claims. The former
shareholders of BrightLane have placed approximately 158,000 shares in escrow.
The escrow shares are intended to cover the breach of any representation or
warranty contained in the acquisition agreements among the parties, and claims
such as those asserted by Atomic Fusion, subject to a minimum of $300,000 of
cost and expenses that TeamStaff will bear. If any of the $300,000 is incurred
by the Company, it will be charged to goodwill.
On July 12, 2002, the Company filed an action against one of its software
vendors, Lawson Software, Inc. ("Lawson") (TeamStaff, Inc. v. Lawson Software,
Inc.; Civil Action No. 02:CV3450, United Stated District Court, District of New
Jersey). In August 2001, the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
BrightLane) and Lawson entered into an
25 of 29
agreement pursuant to which the Company would license certain of Lawson's
software products for use in the Company's business operations. The complaint
alleges, among other things, that Lawson misrepresented the software's
capabilities to induce the Company to enter into the license agreement. Among
other remedies, the Company sought specific performance of the software license
agreement, damages, litigation costs and attorneys' fees. On August 12, 2002,
the Company and Lawson entered into a Settlement Agreement settling the parties'
dispute. Among other things, the Company will remain a licensee of certain of
Lawson's software products and the Company has agreed to dismiss the complaint,
with prejudice.
The Company is engaged in no other litigation the effect of which would be
anticipated to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
