ADMINISTAFF, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2010


1.            Basis of Presentation

Administaff, Inc. (“Administaff” or the “Company”) is a professional employer organization (“PEO”).  As a PEO, the Company provides a bundled comprehensive service for its clients in the area of personnel management.  The Company provides its comprehensive service through its Personnel Management System, which encompasses a broad range of human resource functions, including payroll and benefits administration, health and workers’ compensation insurance programs, personnel records management, employer liability management, employee recruiting and selection, employee performance management, and employee training and development.  For both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, revenues from the Company’s Texas and California markets represented 29% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.

In June 2010, the Company acquired One Mind Connect, Inc. which conducts business under the name “ExpensAble”, and provides expense report management solutions delivered in both a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) and as a desktop software product.  The acquisition of ExpensAble extends the sales opportunity of the Company’s human resource offerings as well as the solutions available to the Company’s current and target clients.  The Company paid $5.6 million upon the closing of the transaction and expects to pay an additional $1.0 million in 2011 based on the terms of the agreement.  Additional consideration, up to $3.0 million, may be paid during 2011 through 2013 if specific revenue levels are achieved.  The allocation of the purchase price is based on initial estimates and is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation.

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2010, and the


Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, have been made. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

 The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time these financial statements in the Form 10-Q report were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.

2.            Accounting Policies

Health Insurance Costs

The Company provides group health insurance coverage to its worksite employees through a national network of carriers including UnitedHealthcare (“United”), PacifiCare, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, Hawaii Medical Service Association and Tufts, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts.

The contract with United provides the majority of the Company’s health insurance coverage.  As a result of certain contractual terms, the Company has accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model.  Accordingly, Administaff records the costs of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the “Plan Costs”) as benefits expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The estimated incurred claims are based upon: (i) the level of claims processed during the quarter; (ii) recent claim development patterns under the plan, to estimate a completion rate; and (iii) the number of participants in the plan, including both active and COBRA enrollees.  Each reporting period, changes in the estimated ultimate costs resulting from claim trends, plan design and migration, participant demographics and other factors are incorporated into the benefits costs.

Additionally, since the plan’s inception, under the terms of the contract, United establishes cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter.  If the Plan Costs for a reporting quarter are greater than the premiums paid and owed to United, a deficit in the plan would be incurred and the Company would accrue a liability for the excess costs on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.  On the other hand, if the Plan Costs for the reporting quarter are less than the premiums paid and owed to United, a surplus in the plan would be incurred and the Company would record an asset for the excess premiums on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The terms of the arrangement require the Company to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9.0 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid insurance.  In addition, United requires a deposit equal to approximately one day of claims funding activity, which was $2.6 million as of June 30, 2010, and is reported as a long-term asset.  As of June 30, 2010, Plan Costs were less than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $23.8 million.  As

 
- 10 -


this amount is in excess of the agreed-upon $9.0 million surplus maintenance level, the $14.8 million balance is included in prepaid insurance, a current asset, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The premiums owed to United at June 30, 2010 were $7.6 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Workers’ Compensation Costs
 
 
Since October 1, 2007, the Company’s workers’ compensation coverage has been provided through its arrangement with ACE Group of Companies (“ACE”).  Under the Company’s arrangement with ACE (the “ACE Program”), the Company bears the economic burden for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence.  ACE bears the economic burden for all claims in excess of such first $1 million layer.  The ACE Program is a fully insured policy whereby ACE has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policy regardless of whether the Company satisfies its responsibilities.  The Company’s workers’ compensation coverage from September 1, 2003 through September 30, 2007 was provided through selected member insurance companies of American International Group, Inc. (the “AIG Program”). The AIG Program coverage and structure was consistent with the ACE Program.

Because the Company bears the economic burden of the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence, such claims, which are the primary component of the Company’s workers’ compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred.  Workers’ compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury.  Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires a significant level of judgment.

The Company employs a third party actuary to estimate its loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of worksite employees’ job responsibilities, the location of worksite employees, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends.  Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into the Company’s workers’ compensation claims cost estimates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Administaff reduced accrued workers’ compensation costs by $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods.  Workers’ compensation cost estimates are discounted to present value at a rate based upon the U.S. Treasury rates that correspond with the weighted average estimated claim payout period (the average discount rate utilized in both 2010 and 2009 was 1.8%) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table provides the activity and balances related to incurred but not paid workers’ compensation claims for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Long-term portion of accrued claims
    54,474       51,348  
    $ 92,218     $ 86,624  

At the beginning of each policy period, the insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”).  The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and expected workers’ compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier.  Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as restricted cash, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits, a long-term asset in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  In June 2010, the Company received $15.6 million from ACE for the return of excess claim funds related to the ACE program, which reduced deposits.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company had restricted cash of $37.7 million and deposits of $46.2 million.

The Company accounts for its financial assets in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement.  This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

 
·
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets using identical assets;
 
·
Level 2 - significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs; and
 
·
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes the levels of fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets:

Revenues

Our revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 2.0% over the 2009 period due to a 5.1%, or $63 increase in revenues per worksite employee per month, offset by a 2.9% decrease in the average number of worksite employees paid per month.

By region, our revenues compared to the second quarter of 2009 and revenue distribution for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

The decline in U.S. economic activity and associated reductions in employment levels late in 2008 and in 2009 impacted the Company’s client base and target market.  The net employee reduction within our existing client base and client terminations have exceeded additions of worksite employees through new client sales throughout 2009 and early 2010.  Our average number of paid worksite employees in the second quarter of 2010 declined 2.9% compared to the second quarter of 2009.  However, during the second quarter of 2010, the net change in existing clients and client retention improved, as compared to the second quarter of 2009, while new client sales were consistent with the 2009 period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 decreased less than 1% to $71.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2009.  The average gross profit per worksite employee increased 2.3% to $226 per month in the 2010 period from $221 per month in the 2009 period.  Our pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by increasing revenue per worksite employee to match or exceed changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses.

While our revenues increased 5.1% per worksite employee per month, our direct costs, which primarily include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, increased 5.7% to $1,079 per worksite employee per month in the second quarter of 2010 versus $1,021 in the second quarter of 2009.

 
·
Benefits costs – The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $36 per worksite employee per month, or 7.5% on a cost per covered employee basis compared to the second quarter of 2009.  This increase was due to increased

utilization by active participants, as well as higher claims associated with increased COBRA participation resulting from the severe economic environment and the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) legislation.  Please read “Risk Factors” on page 29 for a discussion of ARRA.  The net costs of COBRA claims per enrollee are approximately double the cost of claims associated with active enrollees.  In addition, the number of individuals electing COBRA coverage has increased from 5.9% of participants in the United Plan in the second quarter of 2009 to 7.1% in the second quarter of 2010.  The percentage of worksite employees covered under our health insurance plans was 74.3% in the 2010 period compared to 74.9% in the 2009 period.  Please read Note 2 - “Accounting Policies – Health Insurance Costs” on page 10 for a discussion of our accounting for health insurance costs.

 
·
Workers’ compensation costs – Workers’ compensation costs decreased 6.0%, or $1 per worksite employee per month compared to the second quarter of 2009.  As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs decreased to 0.64% in the 2010 period from 0.68% in the 2009 period, primarily due to a decline in the actuarial loss development rate for the second quarter of 2010. During the 2010 period, the Company recorded reductions in workers’ compensation costs of $1.7 million, or 0.09% of non-bonus payroll costs, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods compared to $1.6 million, or 0.08% of non-bonus payroll costs, in the 2009 period.  Please read Note 2 “Accounting Policies – Workers’ Compensation Costs” on page 11 for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs.

 
·
Payroll tax costs – Payroll taxes increased 2.3%, or $23 per worksite employee per month compared to the second quarter of 2009.  Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll cost were 7.3% in the 2010 period compared to 7.1% in the 2009 period.  The increases in payroll tax costs were due primarily to higher state unemployment tax rates, which increased approximately 54.0% over the 2009 period, as a result of unemployment claims experienced during 2009.

Operating expenses decreased 0.9% to $62.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2009.  Operating expenses per worksite employee per month increased to $199 in the 2010 period versus $195 in the 2009 period.  The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

·
Salaries, wages and payroll taxes of corporate and sales staff decreased 3.2% and remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2009 period.

·
Stock-based compensation decreased 17.2%, or $1 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period, due primarily to an increase in forfeitures of restricted stock.  The stock-based compensation expense represents amortization of restricted stock awards granted to employees over the vesting period.

·
General and administrative expenses increased 2.9%, or $2 per worksite employee per month compared to the second quarter of 2009.

·
Commissions expense decreased 2.7%, but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2009 period, due to a lower average number of paid worksite employees.

·
Advertising costs increased 36.6%, or $4 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period, due in part to the timing of advertising activity, as well as an increase in the level of marketing and advertising in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the 2009 period.

·
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 12.3%, or $1 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period, due primarily to the reduction in capital expenditures during 2009 and early 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) decreased from $358,000 in the second quarter of 2009 to approximately $255,000 in the 2010 period due to the continued decline in interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 42.0% in the 2010 period compared to 39.9% in the 2009 period due to the impact of non-deductible expenses on lower pre-tax income, as well as lower tax exempt interest income.  Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

Operating and Net Income

Operating and net income per worksite employee per month was $27 and $16 in the 2010 period, versus $26 and $17 in the 2009 period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first half of 2010 decreased 7.4% to $144.0 million, compared to the first half of 2009.  The average gross profit per worksite employee decreased 2.1% to $230 per month in the 2010 period from $235 per month in the 2009 period.  Our pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by increasing revenue per worksite employee to match or exceed changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses.

While our revenues increased 6.2% per worksite employee per month, our direct costs, which primarily include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, increased 8.0% to $1,162 per worksite employee per month in the first half of 2010 versus $1,076 in the first half of 2009.

 
·
Benefits costs – The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $43 per worksite employee per month, or 8.5% on a cost per covered employee basis compared to the 2009 period.  This increase was due to increased utilization by active participants, as well as higher claims associated with increased COBRA participation resulting from the severe economic environment and the enactment of ARRA legislation.  Please read “Risk Factors” on page 30 for a discussion of ARRA.  The net costs of COBRA claims per enrollee are approximately double the cost of claims associated with active enrollees.  In addition, the number of individuals electing COBRA coverage has increased from 5.3% of participants in the United Plan in the first half of 2009 to 7.0% in the first half of 2010.  The percentage of worksite employees covered under our health insurance plans was 74.7% in the 2010 period compared to 75.0% in the 2009 period.  Please read Note 2 – “Accounting Policies – Health Insurance Costs” on page 10 for a discussion of our accounting for health insurance costs.

Workers’ compensation costs – Workers’ compensation costs decreased 9.2%, or $2 per worksite employee per month compared to the first six months of 2009.  As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs decreased to 0.63% in the 2010 period from 0.67% in the 2009 period, primarily due to a decline in the actuarial loss development rate for the first half of 2010.  During the 2010 period, the Company recorded reductions in workers’ compensation costs of $3.7 million, or 0.10% of non-bonus payroll costs, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods compared to $3.9 million, or 0.11% of non-bonus payroll costs, in the 2009 period.  Please read Note 2 “Accounting Policies – Workers’ Compensation Costs” on page 11 for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs.

·
Payroll tax costs – Payroll taxes increased 3.2%, or $44 per worksite employee per month compared to the first half of 2009.  Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll cost were 8.3% in the 2010 period compared to 7.9% in the 2009 period.  The increases in payroll tax costs were due primarily to higher state unemployment tax rates, which increased approximately 53.0% over the 2009 period, as a result of unemployment claims experienced during 2009.

Operating expenses decreased 1.7% to $131.7 million compared to the first half of 2009.  Operating expenses per worksite employee per month increased to $211 in the 2010 period versus $203 in the 2009 period.  The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes of corporate and sales staff decreased 0.8%, but increased $6 on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2009 period.

Stock-based compensation decreased 26.7%, or $2 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period, due primarily to an increase in forfeitures of restricted stock.  The stock-based compensation expense represents amortization of restricted stock awards granted to employees over the vesting period.

General and administrative expenses increased 0.4%, or $2 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period.

Commissions expense decreased 9.1% and remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2009 period, due to a lower average number of paid worksite employees and lower sales production.

Advertising costs increased 15.5%, or $3 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period, due in part to the timing of advertising activity, as well as an increase in the level of marketing and advertising in the first half of 2010 as compared to the 2009 period.

 
- 22 -


Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 10.7%, or $1 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2009 period, due primarily to the reduction in capital expenditures during 2009 and early 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) decreased from $937,000 in the first half of 2009 to approximately $458,000 in the first half of 2010 due to the continued decline in interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 42.0% in the 2010 period compared to 39.6% in the 2009 period due to the impact of non-deductible expenses on lower pre-tax income, as well as lower tax exempt interest income.  Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

Operating and Net Income

Operating and net income per worksite employee per month was $20 and $12 in the 2010 period, versus $33 and $21 in the 2009 period.

 
- 23 -


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-bonus payroll cost is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of bonus payrolls paid to our worksite employees.  Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program.  As a result, our management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting our workers’ compensation costs.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  We include these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred under our current workers’ compensation program.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the table below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other things, our expansion plans, acquisition plans and other operating cash needs.  To meet short- and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of direct and operating expenses and repaying debt, we rely primarily on cash from operations.  However, we have in the past sought, and may in the future seek, to raise additional capital or take other steps to increase or manage our liquidity and capital resources.  We had $210.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2010, of which approximately $66.2 million was payable in early July 2010 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, and approximately $20.5 million were client prepayments that were payable in July 2010.  At June 30, 2010, we had working capital of $144.3 million compared to $127.6 million at December 31, 2009.  We currently believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our

 
- 24 -


liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2010.  We will rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital needs.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in 2010 was $10.2 million.  Our primary source of cash from operations is the comprehensive service fee and payroll funding we collect from our clients.  The level of cash and cash equivalents, and thus our reported cash flows from operating activities are significantly impacted by various external and internal factors, which are reflected in part by the changes in our balance sheet accounts.  These include the following:
 
 
Timing of client payments / payrolls – We typically collect our comprehensive service fee, along with the client’s payroll funding, from clients at least one day prior to the payment of worksite employee payrolls and associated payroll taxes.  Therefore, the last business day of a reporting period has a substantial impact on our reporting of operating cash flows.  For example, many worksite employees are paid on Fridays; therefore, operating cash flows decrease in the reporting periods that end on a Friday.  In the period ended June 30, 2010, which ended on a Wednesday, client prepayments were $20.5 million and accrued worksite employee payroll was $152.7 million.  In the period ended December 31, 2009, which ended on a Thursday, client prepayments were $13.1 million and accrued worksite employee payroll was $93.1 million.
 
 
Workers’ compensation plan funding – Under our workers’ compensation insurance arrangements, we make monthly payments to the carriers comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”).  These pre-determined amounts are stipulated in our agreements with the carriers, and are based primarily on anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and workers’ compensation loss rates during the policy year.  Changes in payroll levels from those that were anticipated in the arrangements can result in changes in the amount of the cash payments, which will impact our reporting of operating cash flows.  Our claim funds paid, based upon anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and workers’ compensation loss rates, were $19.0 million in the first half of 2010 and $20.5 million in the first half of 2009.  However, our estimate of workers’ compensation loss costs was $15.6 million and $18.0 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  During June 2010 and 2009, we received $15.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively, from ACE for the return of excess claim funds related to the ACE Program, which resulted in an increase to working capital in both periods.
 
 
Medical plan funding – Our health care contract with United establishes participant cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter.  Therefore, changes in the participation level of the United plan have a direct impact on our operating cash flows.  In addition, changes to the funding rates, which are solely determined by United based primarily upon recent claim history and anticipated cost trends, also have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.  Since inception of the United plan, premiums owed and cash funded to United has exceeded Plan Costs, resulting in a $23.8
 
 
- 25 -


million surplus, $14.8 million of which is reflected as a current asset, and $9.0 million of which is reflected as a long-term asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2010.  The premiums owed to United at June 30, 2010, were $7.6 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
 
Operating results – Our net income has a significant impact on our operating cash flows.  Our net income decreased 45.3% to $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $13.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Please read Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 on page 20.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Our net investment in marketable securities during the first half of 2010 was $35.5 million.  In addition, we invested $5.6 million in the acquisition of ExpensAble.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $3.9 million.

Recent Legislative Developments

Healthcare Reform

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) was signed into law on March 23, 2010.  The PPACA was subsequently amended on March 30, 2010 by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act”).  The PPACA and Reconciliation Act (collectively the “Act”) entail sweeping health care reforms with staggered effective dates from 2010 through 2018, and many provisions in the Act require the issuance of additional guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, and the states.  Because many provisions of the Act do not become operative until future years, we do not expect the Act to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in 2010.  However, given the length and complexity of the Act, the extended time period over which the reforms will be implemented, and the unknown impact of yet to be issued regulatory guidance, we are unable to determine the impact of the Act on our health insurance plan in future periods.

The number and complex nature of federal and state regulations facing employers has continued to increase over time, including the enactment of the Act.  We believe that additional regulatory burdens placed on employers can increase the demand for our services because small and medium-sized businesses are especially challenged by such governmental regulations due to limited resources and the lack of expertise.   As a co-employer in the PEO relationship, the Company assumes or shares many of the employer-related responsibilities and assists our clients to comply with many employment-related governmental regulations.  Historically, the Company

 
- 26 -


believes that it has successfully marketed the compliance component of our service offering and that our compliance-related services have increased the value proposition of our service offering.   However, currently we are unable to determine the impact the Act will have in future periods on the costs we will incur to comply with the Act, our ability to match any resulting increased costs with pricing, our ability to attract and retain clients, our business model and our results of operations.

Our review of the Act is ongoing, but we have initially identified certain provisions that could materially affect the Company.  Beginning in 2010, the Act provides for a small business tax credit for eligible companies offering health care coverage to employees.  Based upon information contained in the Congressional Record, which specifically references professional employer organizations, we believe that these tax credits will be available to our clients that meet the qualification requirements.  However, the Act does not expressly address the issue of whether qualifying small business clients of a professional employer organization are entitled to the tax credits.  At this time, we are unable to determine whether this issue will have an adverse effect on our operations or our ability to attract and retain clients.

Beginning in 2011, the Act contains a number of mandates for health insurance plans, some of which are already standard in our group health plan.  For mandates not already included, we intend to work with our insurance carriers to incorporate the required changes.  One of the 2011 mandates, the requirement to extend dependent child coverage to age 26, was implemented in the second quarter of 2010 with respect to certain dependent children already covered under our plan.  The Act also provides certain exemptions for “grandfathered plans” in existence on March 23, 2010.  The application to our health plan and clients of the rules and related exemptions relating to grandfathered plans is unclear.  While we are unable to determine the impact of these required plan changes and grandfathered plan rules at this time, in future periods they may result in increased costs to the Company and could affect our ability to attract and retain clients.  Additionally, contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset the associated potential increased costs.

Beginning in 2014, the Act provides for the establishment of state insurance exchanges (“Exchanges”) to make health insurance available to individuals and small employers (initially defined as 100 or less employees).   Small business tax credits and subsidies will be available to qualifying businesses and individuals who purchase health insurance through the Exchanges.     Also in 2014, the Act implements “pay or play” penalties for large employers (those with at least 50 full-time equivalent employees) who fail to offer “minimum essential coverage” or affordable coverage to employees.  In 2018, the Act implements rules imposing excise taxes on employers who offer excessive health benefits under so-called “Cadillac plans.”  We anticipate taking appropriate steps to avoid, to the extent necessary and possible, incurring any such excise taxes.  At this time, we are unable to determine the effect the Exchanges, “pay or play” penalties, and excise taxes will have on our costs, our ability to match pricing with any increased costs, our results of operations and our ability to attract and retain clients.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are primarily exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and the effects of those fluctuations on the market values of our cash equivalent short-term investments.   Our cash equivalent short-term investments consist primarily of overnight investments and money market funds, which are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk, except to the extent that changes in interest rates will ultimately affect the amount of interest income earned on these investments.

We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk primarily through diversification and low investment turnover.  Our investment policy is designed to maximize after-tax interest income while preserving our principal investment.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

In accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010.
 
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Please read Note 6 to financial statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “possibly,” “probably,” “goal,” “objective,” “target,” “assume,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “predicts,” “appears,” “indicator” and similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  In the normal course of business, Administaff, Inc., in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing.  Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, unit growth, profit per worksite employee, pricing, operating expenses or other aspects of operating results.  We base the forward-looking statements on our expectations, estimates and projections at the time such statements are made.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that we cannot predict.  In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate.  Therefore, the actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements.  Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: (i) changes in general economic conditions; (ii) regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations; (iii) the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for health insurance and workers’ compensation contracts at expiration of current contracts; (iv) increases in health insurance costs and workers’ compensation rates and underlying claims trends, health care reform, financial solvency of workers’ compensation carriers and other insurers, state unemployment tax rates, liabilities for employee and client actions or payroll-related claims, changes in the costs of expanding into new markets, and failure to manage growth of our operations; (v) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (vi) changes in the competitive environment in the PEO industry, including the entrance of new competitors and our ability to renew or replace client companies; (vii) our liability for worksite employee payroll and benefits costs; (viii) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (ix) our ability to integrate future acquisitions; and (x) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Administaff.  These factors are discussed in detail in our 2009 annual report on Form 10-K under “Factors That May Affect Future Results and the Market Price of Common Stock” on page 38, and elsewhere in this report.  Any of these factors, or a combination of such factors, could

 
- 29 -


materially affect the results of our operations and whether forward-looking statements we make ultimately prove to be accurate.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed pursuant to Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Extension of COBRA Continuation Coverage Could Adversely Affect Total Health Care Plan Costs 
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as amended (“ARRA”), provides a 65% subsidy for COBRA continuation coverage premiums for up to 15 months for employees who are involuntarily terminated.  Pursuant to the Temporary Extension Act of 2010 and the Continuing Extension Act of 2010, enacted on March 3, 2010 and April 15, 2010, respectively, eligibility for the COBRA subsidy was extended through May 31, 2010.  Under ARRA, Administaff pays the 65% subsidy and then is reimbursed by the federal government through a credit against payroll taxes.  The remaining 35% is paid by individual participants electing COBRA.  Plan Costs include the net difference between the premiums collected and the associated cost of any COBRA claims.  Historically, the net cost of COBRA claims per enrollee has been approximately double the cost of a non-COBRA enrollee.  The subsidy of COBRA premiums mandated by ARRA, coupled with the severe economic environment, has contributed to an increase in the number of individuals electing COBRA coverage, from 3.8% of participants in the United Plan in the second quarter of 2008 to 7.1% in the second quarter of 2010, resulting in higher benefits costs incurred.  Depending on the number of participants electing COBRA and the resulting claim activity levels, COBRA-related claims have the potential to increase total Plan Costs in future periods as well.  Contractual arrangements with our clients limit our ability to incorporate such increases into service fees, which could result in a delay before such increases could be reflected in service fees.  As a result, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.  The end date for the ARRA subsidy is currently August 2011; however, it has been extended on multiple occasions and may be extended again.

Recently enacted health care reform legislation may increase our costs, impair our ability to match our pricing with any such increased costs, impair our ability to attract and retain clients and thus have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Congress has recently enacted sweeping health care reform legislation that will be implemented on a staggered basis over the next eight years, and that contains a number of provisions the application of which to our Company and clients is uncertain at this time.  These include but are not limited to the implementation of a small business tax credit; required changes in plan design; “grandfathering” provisions for existing plan; state insurance exchanges; “pay or play” requirements; and a “Cadillac plan” excise tax.  This legislation and these provisions are discussed in more detail under Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Legislative Developments—Health Care Reform.”  We are currently in the process of reviewing the impact of health care reform on our company and clients, and thus are unable at this time to determine the long-term impact of such legislation on our business.  However, health care reform as mandated and implemented under the Act and

 
- 30 -


any future federal or state mandated health care reform could materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations by increasing our costs, hindering our ability to effectively match our cost of providing health insurance with our pricing and hindering our ability to attract and retain clients.
