# GEVITY HR, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(in $000s,
except share and per share data)

# 1.     GENERAL

The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Gevity HR, Inc., and
its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or Gevity) were
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Form 10-K). The financial information furnished reflects all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the interim periods presented.

The
Companys significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the
Companys consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Form
10-K. The Companys critical accounting estimates are disclosed in Item 7,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, in the Companys Form 10-K. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates
its policies, estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition,
workers compensation receivable reserves, medical benefit plan liabilities,
intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and deferred taxes. Since the date of
the Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the Companys significant
accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

Conversion of Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock

On
May 19, 2004, the holders of the Series A Convertible, Redeemable Preferred Stock (the
Preferred Stock) converted 100% of their holdings into the Companys
common stock. The conversion price was $5.44 per share and resulted in the issuance of
5,514,705 shares of the Companys common stock. The former Preferred Stock holders
sold 3,555,000 shares of the 5,514,705 shares received upon conversion as part of the
Companys secondary stock offering (see Note 10).

In
connection with the original issue of the Preferred Stock on June 6, 2003, the Company
recorded the Preferred Stock at its fair value on the date of issuance of approximately
$30,000 less issuance costs of $2,314, and less an allocation of $27,298 to a beneficial
conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature resulted from the conversion feature
of the Preferred Stock that was in-the-money on the date of issuance attributable to the
increase in the market price of the Companys common stock during the period from the
date on which the conversion price was fixed (approximating market price at that time) and
the date on which the Preferred Stock was issued, following shareholder approval. The
beneficial conversion feature was calculated as the difference between the market price
and the conversion price on the date of issuance, multiplied by the number of shares of
common stock into which the Preferred Stock was convertible. The beneficial conversion
amount was recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the Preferred Stock and an
increase to additional paid-in-capital. The difference between the aggregate liquidation
value of $30,000 and the initial balance of $388 recorded in the Series A Preferred Stock
account on the Companys balance sheet, as a result of the beneficial conversion
feature and the cost of issuance, was being amortized over the periods from the date of
issuance to the respective demand redemption dates for each 10,000 share tranche,
utilizing the interest method.

Following
the conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock into common stock, the Company recorded in
the second quarter of 2004 a non-recurring, non-cash charge of $29,317 to retained
earnings and reduced net income attributable to common shareholders by a corresponding
amount. This charge was required in order to account for the acceleration of the
unamortized discount related to the beneficial conversion feature and stock issuance
costs. The effect of the Preferred Stock transactions (which include the accretion of
redemption value of the Preferred Stock prior to conversion and the Preferred Stock
dividends) reduced earnings per diluted share by $1.14 for the nine months ended September
30, 2004, and the Company recorded a net loss attributable to common shareholders of
$7,753, or $0.34 per diluted share for the nine month period. This transaction had no
effect on the third quarter of 2004.

Earnings Per Share

Recently Issued Accounting
Standard  In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on
EITF Issue 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two Class Method under FASB Statement
No. 128. The guidance in this EITF issue is effective for quarters beginning after
March 31, 2004. EITF Issue No. 03-6 provides additional guidance to determine whether a
security is a participating security and therefore subject to the two-class method under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per
Share. Under this method, the Company must calculate the assumed distribution of all
earnings in the period to holders of basic and preferred securities. If the basic earnings
per share (EPS) under this method is less than the basic EPS calculated under
the method originally prescribed in SFAS 128, this lower figure must be recorded as the
basic EPS. The consensus in EITF Issue 03-6 must be applied by restating previously
reported EPS. Basic EPS for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 have
been restated as necessary for the application of the consensus in EITF Issue 03-6. This
resulted in a reduction of basic EPS for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2003 of $0.04 per share with no effect on previously reported diluted EPS. The EPS
presented for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 also reflect the
adoption of the consensus. However, there was no effect on the three month period ended
September 30, 2004 as a result of the conversion of 100% of the preferred stock on May 19,
2004 and there was no effect on the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of
the net loss attributable to common shareholders during that period.

The
reconciliations of net income attributable to common shareholders and shares outstanding
for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

For
the three months ended September 30, 2004, options to purchase 712,987 shares of common
stock, weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding, were excluded from
the diluted earnings per share computation because the exercise price of the options was
greater that the average price of the common stock.

greater that the average price of the common stock.

shares of common stock at various prices and inclusion of the Preferred Stock on an
if-converted basis for the period it was outstanding would have been
antidilutive and therefore were not reflected in the diluted earnings per share
computation.

For
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, options to purchase 351,277 shares of common
stock, weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding, were excluded from
the diluted earnings per share computation because the exercise price of the options was
greater than the average price of the common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

In
December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosurean amendment of SFAS No.
123. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change
to the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This
statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation,and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company
implemented SFAS No. 148 effective January 1, 2003 regarding disclosure requirements for
condensed financial statements for interim periods. The Company has determined it will not
voluntarily change to the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation.

As
permitted by SFAS No. 123, and as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to
continue to account for its stock option plans in accordance with the intrinsic value
method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Intrinsic value per
share is the amount by which the market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise
price of the stock option or award on the measurement date, generally the date of grant.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the plans. Had compensation cost
for the options granted under the plans been determined based on the fair value at the
grant date consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Companys net
income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

# 2.     MARKETABLE SECURITIES
 RESTRICTED

At
September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Companys investment portfolio
consisted of restricted marketable debt and equity securities classified as trading and
available-for-sale.

Restricted
marketable securities designated as available-for-sale include auction market municipal
bonds, auction market preferred shares, and money market funds. These securities relate to
collateral held in connection with the Companys workers compensation programs,
collateral held in connection with the Companys general insurance programs and
escrow amounts held in connection with the TeamStaff acquisition (at December 31, 2003)
and have been classified as restricted in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets. Due to the short-term maturity of these instruments, the carrying amount
approximates fair value. The interest earned on these securities is recognized as interest
income on the Companys consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted
marketable securities designated as trading are mutual funds held in a rabbi trust in
connection with a non-qualified deferred compensation plan assumed in the EPIX acquisition
(see Note 5). These securities are recorded at fair value. Realized and unrealized holding
gains and losses related to these investments, as well as the offsetting compensation
expense, are recognized in net income as they occur.

The
amortized cost and estimated fair value of the marketable securities portfolio by type and
classification as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 is as follows:

|                                                    | Amortized

# 4.     WORKERS
COMPENSATION RECEIVABLE

The
Company established an annual loss sensitive workers compensation insurance program
with member insurance companies of American International Group, Inc. (AIG)
effective January 1, 2003. In 2003, the Company also began to operate a wholly-owned
Bermuda-based insurance subsidiary as a component of its workers compensation
programs. See Note 7 regarding the Companys prior years workers compensation
insurance programs with CNA Financial Corporation (CNA).

The
AIG workers compensation insurance programs provide for a sharing of risk between
the Company and AIG whereby AIG assumes risk within the following parts of the programs:
(i) individual claim stop loss insurance risk; (ii) for the 2003 program year only,
aggregate claim stop loss insurance risk; and (iii) premium payment credit risk.

The
Company, through its Bermuda-based insurance subsidiary, assumes risk related to claims
not subject to the individual claim stop loss insurance amount or claims not subject to
the aggregate claim stop loss insurance amount.

With
respect to the individual claim stop loss insurance risk, the Company is responsible for
paying, through AIG, claim amounts related to the first $1 million per occurrence for the
2003 program year and $2 million per occurrence for the 2004 program year. Claim amounts
in excess of $1 million per occurrence for the 2003 program year and $2 million per
occurrence for the 2004 program year are insured through the AIG program. For the 2004
program year, claim amounts between $1 million and $2 million per occurrence have been
reinsured through Munich American Reassurance Company. The Company, through its
Bermuda-based insurance subsidiary, remits premiums to AIG, to cover AIGs estimate
of claims up to the per occurrence claim amount. Under the 2004 workers compensation
program, of the $111,000 of such premiums paid, the Company is guaranteed by AIG to
receive a 2.92% per annum fixed return on amounts held by AIG in excess of claims paid.
Under the 2003 program with AIG, of the $85,000 of such premiums paid, the Company is
guaranteed by AIG to receive 2.42% per annum fixed return on $73,500 and 1.85% on the
remaining amount in excess of claims paid. In order for the Company to receive the
guaranteed return rates, the excess premiums must remain with AIG for at least 10 years
for the 2004 program and 7 years for the 2003 program. If excess premium payments are
withdrawn prior to the stated period, the interest rate is adjusted downward based upon a
sliding scale.

With
respect to the aggregate claim stop loss insurance risk for the 2003 program, claims
amount in excess of 175% of the insurance companys estimate of expected losses for
the program year are insured through the AIG program. The amount of the expected losses is
established at the beginning of the program year based on an expected volume of payroll
associated with the employees of the Company and its clients. If the payroll volume varies
during the year, the amount of the aggregate claim stop loss insurance risk changes
proportionately. The Company generally does not pay additional premiums during the program
year unless payroll volume or actual losses exceed certain estimated amounts established
at the beginning of the program year. This results in premium payment credit risk to AIG.
Additionally, AIG does not require collateral equal to the limits of the aggregate claim
stop loss amount. The absence of this collateral requirement results in credit risk to
AIG. The Company did not elect aggregate claim stop loss insurance for the 2004 program
year.

---

Finally,
with respect to the premium payment credit risk, this program is a fully insured policy
written by AIG. If the Company were to fail to make premium payments to AIG as scheduled,
then AIG would be responsible for the payment of all losses under the terms of the policy.
Under the 2003 program, AIG required the Company to provide $17,000 of collateral related
to premium payment credit risk. The required collateral was provided in the form of cash
and short-term investments placed into a trust account. With respect to the 2004 program
year the Company reached an agreement with AIG whereby the $17,000 of collateral related
to premium payment credit risk for the 2003 program would serve as collateral for the 2004
program. This amount was included as long-term marketable securities-restricted as of
December 31, 2003. During the third quarter of 2004, AIG released approximately $13.6
million of this collateral to the Company in connection with the premium audit and annual
loss provision adjustment for the 2003 program year.

The
Company accrues for workers compensation costs under the AIG programs based upon
premiums paid, estimated total costs of claims to be paid by the Company that fall within
the policy deductible, the administrative costs of the program, return on investment
premium dollars paid and the discount rate used to determine the net present value of the
expected future payments to be made under the program. At September 30, 2004 and December
31, 2003, the discount rate used to calculate the present value of claim liabilities was
2.5%. Premium payments made to AIG during 2004 and 2003 were in excess of the present
value of the estimated claim liabilities. This resulted in a workers compensation
receivable, net at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 of $68,481 and $24,355,
respectively, of which $27,910 and $11,734 was classified as short-term at September 30,
2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

# 5.     INTANGIBLE ASSETS

EPIX Acquisition

On
March 26, 2004, the Company acquired the human resource outsourcing client portfolio of
EPIX Holdings Corporation (EPIX) and certain of its subsidiaries. The
transaction was accomplished by an assignment from EPIX and its subsidiaries to the
Company of all of its client service agreements, which covered approximately 2,000 clients
and approximately 30,000 client employees.

The
purchase price for the acquired assets was $37,834 (including direct acquisition costs of
$1,834). In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a $35,000 unsecured
credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (see Note 8). The Company utilized $20,000 of
this credit agreement to fund the purchase price for the acquisition and paid the
remainder of the purchase price from its internal funds. Of the amount paid to EPIX,
$2,500 was placed in an escrow account as security for certain indemnification obligations
of EPIX under the asset purchase agreement. In connection with the acquisition, the
Company assumed certain employee benefit plans of EPIX that cover certain of the client
employees acquired by the Company. Amounts held in the escrow account may be used by the
Company under certain circumstances to reimburse or compensate itself for adverse
consequences resulting from a breach by EPIX of certain representations and warranties in
the asset purchase agreement or issues related to any assumed employee benefit plan that
result from any action or failure to act on the part of EPIX prior to the closing date of
the transaction. An amount equal to $1,250 (plus investment income earned), to the extent
then held in the escrow account, will be released to EPIX on March 26, 2005, with the
remaining amount, if any, released to EPIX on March 26, 2006. In June 2004, the Company
converted the EPIX clients and client employees to Gevitys Oracle Human Resource
Management and Payroll applications.

---

The
EPIX acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, in accordance with SFAS No.
141, Business Combinations. The results of operations for EPIX are included in the
Companys statement of operations for the period March 27, 2004 through September 30,
2004. The purchase price of $37,834 was allocated to assets acquired based upon their fair
values on the date of acquisition as determined by a third party valuation and by
management estimates. This resulted in 100% of the purchase price being allocated to the
client list intangible asset. This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years.

In
connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed the assets and liabilities related to
a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. At September 30, 2004, plan assets of $4,692
are held in a rabbi trust and included in long-term investments  restricted (see
Note 2) and the related deferred compensation plan liability of $4,692 is included in
other long-term liabilities.

Under
the EPIX acquisition agreement, EPIX agreed to pay the Company for the assumption of
certain employment related liabilities. EPIX also agreed to perform transition services
through June 30, 2004 for a fee and the Company agreed to process payroll for the EPIX
internal employees under a co-employment agreement. In connection with the above and as a
result of net cash received by EPIX related to client billings subsequent to March 26,
2004, the Company has a receivable remaining from EPIX of approximately $329, which is
included in other current assets as of September 30, 2004. Both companies are currently
finalizing their review of the receivable balance and resolution is expected by the end of
the year.

The
following pro forma data summarize the results of operations for the periods indicated as
if the EPIX acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the periods presented.
The pro forma data gives effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisition,
adjusted to include the pro forma effect of interest expense, amortization of intangibles
and income taxes and adjusted to exclude the facility related costs of branches not
acquired, depreciation effects of assets not acquired and the effect of unusual,
nonrecurring EPIX expense items. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of
the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred as of the
beginning of the periods presented or that may be obtained in the future.

TeamStaff Acquisition

In
March 2004, the Company and TeamStaff, Inc. (TeamStaff) agreed to release to
TeamStaff $2,250 of the $2,500 held in the escrow account created in connection with the
acquisition of TeamStaff on November 17, 2003. The escrow related to contingent purchase
price was released to TeamStaff based on the retention by Gevity of approximately 90% of
the former TeamStaff client employees during the measurement period. The balance of the
escrow was returned to Gevity. The $2,250 has been added to the client list intangible
asset and will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset.

reimburse BCBS for the cost of the claims incurred by participants under the plan, plus
the cost of plan administration. The administrative costs per covered client employee
associated with this policy are specified by year and the aggregate loss coverage is
provided to the Company at the level of 115% of projected claims. The Companys
obligation to BCBS related to incurred but not reported claims is secured by a letter of
credit. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the amount of the letter of credit
for BCBS securing such obligations was $6,000. The amount of the letter of credit was
initially intended to approximate one months claims payments. The policy allows for
an adjustment to the letter of credit amounts based on premium volume and for increases to
the claims payment factor to a maximum of two months of expected claims payments.

Aetna
is the primary medical care benefits provider for approximately 27,000 client employees
throughout the remainder of the country including client employees acquired in the EPIX
acquisition. The Companys 2004 policy with Aetna provides for HMO and PPO offerings
to plan participants. The Aetna HMO medical benefit plans are subject to a guaranteed cost
contract that caps the Companys annual liability. The Aetna PPO medical benefit plan
is a retrospective funding arrangement whereby the PPO plan is subject to a 7.5%
additional premium if actual claims are greater than projected at the inception of the
policy year.

The
Company provides coverage to approximately 1,000 client employees under regional medical
plans in various areas of the country. Included in the list of medical benefit plan
providers are Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. in California, Colorado and Georgia,
Health Partners (Minnesota) in Minnesota, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare in Massachusetts and
Capital Health Plans in the Tallahassee, Florida region. Such regional medical plans are
subject to fixed cost contracts that cap the Companys annual liability.

The
Companys dental plans, which include both PPO and HMO offerings, are primarily
provided by Aetna for all client employees who elect coverage. In addition, Delta Dental
and American Dental provided dental coverage for certain client employees acquired in the
EPIX and TeamStaff acquisitions through September 30, 2004. All dental plans are subject
to fixed cost contracts that cap the Companys annual liability.

In
addition to dental coverage, the Company offers various fixed cost insurance programs to
client employees such as vision care, life, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term
disability and long-term disability. The Company also offers a flexible spending account
for healthcare, dependent care and transportation costs.

Beginning
October 1, 2004, part-time employees of clients are eligible to enroll in limited benefit
programs from Star HRG. These plans include fixed cost sickness and accident and dental
insurance programs, and a vision discount plan.

Client
employees acquired in the EPIX acquisition and the TeamStaff acquisition were provided
medical care benefits under the medical benefit plans in which they participated on the
date of the respective acquisitions through September 30, 2004. These plans were fixed
cost contracts that capped the Companys annual liability. On October 1, 2004, these
employees were offered coverage through the Companys on-going plans.

Included
in accrued insurance premiums, health and workers compensation insurance reserves at
September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are $35,629 and $20,233, respectively, of
short-term liabilities related to the Companys health benefit plans. There were no
long-term liabilities related to the Companys health benefit plans at September 30,
2004 and December 31, 2003.

Health
benefit reserves are based primarily upon an independent actuarial estimate of claims
incurred but not reported and for claims reported but not yet paid. The calculation of
these reserves is based upon a number of factors, including current and historical claims
payment patterns and medical trend rates.

# 7.    WORKERS
COMPENSATION INSURANCE RESERVES

The
Company has loss sensitive workers compensation insurance programs with CNA for
program years 2002, 2001 and 2000. See Note 4 regarding the Companys 2004 and 2003
workers compensation insurance programs with AIG.

The
CNA insurance program provides for a sharing of risk between the Company and CNA whereby
CNA assumes risk in at least four areas within the program: (i) individual claim stop loss
insurance risk; (ii) aggregate claim stop loss insurance risk; (iii) claim payment timing
risk; and (iv) premium payment credit risk.

The
Company assumes risk related to claims not subject to the individual claim stop loss
insurance amount, claims not subject to the aggregate claim stop loss insurance amount and
claims not subject to the claim payment timing risk.

With
respect to the individual claim stop loss insurance risk, the Company is responsible for
paying, through CNA, claim amounts related to the first $1 million per occurrence. Claim
amounts in excess of $1 million per occurrence are insured through the CNA program.

With
respect to the aggregate claim stop loss insurance risk, the Company is responsible for
remitting premium payments to CNA sufficient to fund 130% of the insurance companys
estimate of expected losses for the program year. The amount of the expected losses was
established at the beginning of each program year based on an expected volume of payroll.
If the payroll volume varied during the year, the amount of the aggregate claim stop loss
insurance risk changed proportionately. Total claims amounts during a program year that
exceed 130% of the expected loss amount are insured through the CNA program.

With
respect to the claim payment timing risk, the Company paid premiums to CNA and guaranteed
a specific investment return on those premium payments. If the premium payments plus the
guaranteed investment returns were not adequate to fund a specific amount of claims due to
the payment pattern of those claims being faster than expected, then CNA was required to
fund the additional amounts required. For the 2000 and 2001 program years, the Company
guaranteed that the premium paid to CNA would earn an annual rate of return equal to seven
percent. For the 2002 program year, the Company guaranteed CNA that the premium would earn
a rate of return equal to four and one-quarter percent. The Company was required to pay
additional premiums to CNA after the close of each calendar year based on the difference
between the actual return earned by the premium paid and the guaranteed annual rate of
return. The additional premium paid to CNA was used to pay claims incurred during the
program year and was included in the amount of accrued insurance premium reserves at
December 31, 2003.

16


---

Finally,
with respect to the premium payment credit risk, since this program is a fully insured
program written by CNA, if the Company were to fail to make premium payments to CNA as
scheduled, then CNA would be responsible for the payment of all losses under the terms of
the program. CNA did require the Company to provide collateral based on the estimate of
expected losses for each program year. CNA did not receive collateral equal to the limits
of the aggregate claim stop loss insurance amount, which is 130% of the estimate of the
expected losses for the program year. Not receiving collateral equal to the aggregate
claim stop loss amount resulted in premium payment risk to CNA.

On
October 11, 2004, the Company finalized agreements with AIG and CNA related to the
Companys 2000, 2001 and 2002 workers compensation insurance programs with CNA.
The agreements have an effective date of September 30, 2004. Under the new agreements, the
Company purchased insurance from AIG to cover the Companys workers
compensation claims liability up to the $1 million per occurrence deductible level for the
program years 2000, 2001 and 2002. CNA remains the insurer on the underlying claims for
these program years. The insurance purchased from AIG provides the Company greater
protection relative to the aggregate insurance stop-loss coverage by reducing the
Companys maximum exposure from 130% of expected total losses to approximately 117%
of expected total losses over the life of each program year.

An
insurance premium of $102,000 was paid by the Company to AIG in October 2004 and was
funded substantially through the release by CNA to the Company of restricted marketable
securities of approximately $76,500 previously pledged to CNA as collateral and of
premium payments and deposits approximating $24,700 previously paid to CNA. Of the
premium paid by the Company, AIG deposited $94,400 into an interest bearing loss
fund account to fund all claims under the program up to AIGs aggregate limit.
Interest on the loss fund account (which will be reduced as claims are paid over the life
of the policy) will accrue to the benefit of the Company at a fixed annual rate of 3.0%
until all claims are closed. AIG will return to the Company that portion of the loss fund
account, if any, not used or retained to pay claims, including interest earned, at
intervals of 36, 60, 84, and 120 months from the date of inception of the agreement. The
maximum return amount, which is based upon a pre-determined formula, at 36 and 60 months
is limited to $5,500 each, with no limit as to the return amount at 84 and 120
months. The original agreement with CNA did not provide specific guidelines for the return
of excess collateral.

The
transaction with AIG did not have any impact on the Companys accrued workers
compensation insurance claims reserve at September 30, 2004. The Company expects this
agreement will reduce future administrative expenses associated with the 2000, 2001 and
2002 program years.

The
Company accrued for workers compensation costs under the CNA program based upon
payroll dollars paid to client employees, the specific risks associated with the type of
work performed by the client employees, the administrative costs of the program, the
expected rate of return earned by premium dollars as part of the program and the discount
rate used to determine the present value of future payments to be made under the program.
The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the claim liabilities was 2.5% at
September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Total liabilities for workers compensation
costs at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $65,928 and $71,118, respectively,
of which $49,110 and $59,280, were classified as long-term at September 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively.

The
Company had pledged $76,441 and $79,136 in restricted marketable securities at September
30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, as collateral for the Companys CNA
workers compensation programs.

# 8.     REVOLVING CREDIT
FACILITY

On
March 26, 2004, in connection with the EPIX acquisition (see Note 5), the Company entered
into a $35,000 unsecured credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The credit agreement
was subsequently amended on September 22, 2004 to allow the Company to purchase shares of
its capital stock under certain conditions and to revise certain financial covenants (as
amended, the Credit Agreement). Certain of the Companys subsidiaries
named in the Credit Agreement have guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for revolving borrowings in an amount not to exceed $35,000
and has a term of three years. Loan advances under the agreement bear an interest rate
equal to the applicable margin, (based upon a ratio of total debt to EBITDA, as defined in
the Credit Agreement), plus one of the following indexes: (i) 30-day LIBOR and (ii) the
Bank of America, N.A. prime rate. Up to $7,000 of the loan commitment can be made through
letters of credit issued by the Bank of America. A fee, determined by reference to the
applicable margin will be charged on the aggregate stated amount of each outstanding
letter of credit. A fee of 50 basis points per annum is charged for any unused portion of
the loan commitment. The Credit Agreement includes certain financial maintenance
requirements and affirmative and negative covenants, of which the Company was in
compliance with all at September 30, 2004.

On
May 19, 2004 the Company repaid outstanding advances under the Credit Agreement with
proceeds from its secondary offering (see Note 10). The Company recorded $61 of interest
expense during the three months ended September 30, 2004 related to the amortization of
loan costs and unused loan commitment fees and $216 for the nine months ended September
30, 2004. As of September 30, 2004, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit
Agreement.

# 9.     COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The
Company is a party to certain pending claims that have arisen in the normal course of
business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations if
adversely resolved. However, the defense and settlement of such claims may impact the
future availability, retention amounts and cost to the Company of applicable insurance
coverage.

From
time to time, the Company is made a party to claims based upon the acts or omissions of
its clients employees and vigorously defends against such claims.

Regulatory Matters

The
Companys employer and health care operations are subject to numerous federal, state
and local laws related to employment, taxes and benefit plan matters. Generally, these
rules affect all companies in the U.S. However, the rules that govern Professional
Employer Organizations (PEOs) constitute an evolving area due to uncertainties
resulting from the non-traditional employment relationship between the PEO, the client and
the client employees. Many federal and state laws relating to tax and employment matters
were enacted before the widespread existence of PEOs and do not specifically address the
obligations and responsibilities of these PEO relationships. If the IRS concludes that
PEOs are not employers of certain client employees for purposes of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the tax qualified status
of the Companys defined contribution retirement plans in effect prior to April 1,
1997 could be revoked, its cafeteria benefit plan may lose its favorable tax status and
the Company, as defined, may no longer be able to assume the clients federal
employment tax withholding obligations and certain defined employee benefit plans
maintained by the Company may be denied the ability to deliver benefits on a tax-favored
basis as intended.

However,
on May 12, 2002, the IRS released guidance applicable solely to the tax-qualified status
of defined contribution retirement plans maintained by professional employer
organizations. In that guidance, the IRS declared that it would not assert a violation of
the exclusive benefit rule under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code if a
professional employer organization that maintains a single employer 401(k) retirement plan
for client employees takes certain remedial action by the last day of the first plan year
beginning on or after January 1, 2003.

18


---

The
Company previously maintained a frozen single employer 401(k) retirement plan benefiting
certain client employees and took remedial action to qualify for relief provided under the
IRS guidance within the applicable deadline. As part of the remedial action, all of the
plans assets (approximately $900 as of December 31, 2003) were transferred
out of the plan, as directed by participants, and the plan was terminated.

The
status of the active multiple employer 401(k) retirement plans maintained by the Company
are unaffected by the IRS guidance.

# 10.     EQUITY

On May 19, 2004, the Company completed its secondary public stock offering of
1,750,000 shares of its common stock for $21.75 per share, less underwriting discounts and
commissions of $1.305 per share. Net proceeds from the offering totaled approximately
$34,727 (net of $1,052 of stock issuance costs). A portion of the proceeds from the
offering totaling $20,000 was used to repay outstanding borrowings under the
Companys credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The remainder of the proceeds
are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Included
in the public offering were 3,770,000 shares of the Companys common stock sold by
selling shareholders. Selling shareholders included the former preferred stockholders (who
sold 3,555,000 shares) (see Note 1) and certain members of management, directors and other
selling shareholders (who sold an aggregate of 215,000 shares). Proceeds from the sale of
these shares went directly to the selling shareholders. The shares sold by the former
holders of the Preferred Stock included 720,000 shares purchased by the underwriters
pursuant to an over allotment option granted to them. In connection with the secondary
offering, all shares of Preferred Stock were converted into common stock.

Employee Stock Option
Plans

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 585,478 and
1,199,807 shares, respectively, of its common stock to directors, officers and employees
of the Company under the Companys stock option plans upon the exercise of
outstanding options for aggregate proceeds of approximately $2,186 and $5,801,
respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase
Plan

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, 27,777 and 45,500 shares, respectively,
of the Companys common stock (from treasury) were sold to employees participating in
the Companys employee stock purchase plan, which was adopted on July 1, 2001.
Proceeds from the employee stock purchase plan were approximately $366 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and $156 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

# 11.     INCOME TAXES

The
Company records income tax expense using the asset and liability method of accounting for
deferred income taxes. Under such method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying values and the income tax bases of the Companys assets
and liabilities. The Companys effective tax rate provides for federal and state
income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the
Companys effective rate was 33.0%.

# ITEM 2.  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The
following discussion contains forward-looking statements. The Companys actual
results could differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below
and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Companys condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this filing and in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for
any future period.

# Non-GAAP Financial
Information

The
following table reconciles results calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) and results reported excluding certain charges
(non-GAAP financial information). The pro forma non-GAAP financial information
is included to provide investors a more complete and transparent understanding of the
Companys underlying operational results and trends, but should only be used in
conjunction with results reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the
pro forma non-GAAP financial information set forth below provides useful information to
show the effect on diluted earnings per share when the non-recurring, non-cash charge to
retained earnings to accelerate the amortization of the discount associated with the
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock), the
accretion of redemption value of the Preferred Stock prior to conversion and the related
Preferred Stock dividends, are excluded, in light of the full conversion of the Preferred
Stock into common stock on May 19, 2004 (See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements).

# OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION

The
Company is a leading U.S. provider of human capital management solutions. The Company
offers its clients, which are typically small to medium-sized businesses with between one
and 500 employees, a broad range of tools and services that provide a complete solution
for the clients human resource outsourcing needs. The Companys tools and
services include assisting clients with:

| |  | finding
the right employees;
| | - | ----------------------------

| |  | developing
and managing their employees;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| |  | retaining
high-quality employees;
| | - | ---------------------------------

| |  | managing
their paperwork, including benefits administration, payroll administration, governmental
compliance, risk management, unemployment service administration, and health, welfare and
retirement benefits; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | protecting
the clients business.
| | - | ---------------------------------

The Company delivers its tools and services to its clients through an integrated and
proactive client relationship management system. Each client is assigned a dedicated human
resource consultant who is located at either a local Gevity branch office near the
clients location or at the Companys centralized field support service center
located in Bradenton, Florida. In addition, the client has continuous access to its human
resource information via the Companys internal portal, Gevity CentralSM,
as well as access to specialized human resource consultants in areas including 401(k) plan
administration and unemployment service administration.

The Company believes that the human resource outsourcing market focusing on small and
medium-sized businesses, as measured by the number of employees per client, is its most
attractive market in terms of customer concentration, need for customized solutions, price
sensitivity, capital investment, new client acquisition cost, sales cycle and market
growth.

The Company believes that the human resource outsourcing competitive landscape is highly
fragmented and populated by various point solution providers who offer segments of the
entire service offering that the Company provides to its clients.

The Company focuses on the professional service fees that it earns from its clients as the
primary source of its net income and cash flow. By delivering human resource outsourcing
solutions to its clients through a co-employment relationship, the Company is also
responsible for providing workers compensation and unemployment insurance benefits
to its clients employees as well as health and welfare benefits. In doing so, the
Company has an opportunity to generate net income and cash, but does not believe that this
can be a significant portion of its overall business profitability.

In addition to the market growth opportunity that exists in the underserved small to
medium-sized business market, the Company believes that there also exists an opportunity
to increase prices from the current level of professional service fees being charged in
delivering its human resource outsourcing services.

The
Company believes that the primary challenge and risk it faces in delivering its human
resource outsourcing solutions is its ability to convince small to medium-sized businesses
to accept the concept of human resource outsourcing. The Company believes that most small
to medium-sized businesses outsource certain aspects of the Companys total solution,
including payroll administration, health and welfare administration and providing
workers compensation insurance, but that only a small number of businesses outsource
the entire offering that the Company provides.

The
Company has transitioned its business from one that provided discounted insurance products
to its clients to one that delivers human resource outsourcing solutions for its clients.
During this transition, the total number of client employees serviced by the Company
declined from over 130,000 client employees in 1999 to under 90,000 client employees
during 2003. Following the acquisition of TeamStaff and EPIX, the Company now services
over 134,000 client employees. During the transition, the Company increased its
profitability by focusing on increased profitability per client employee.

The
Company continues to focus on increasing the profitability of each client employee as well
as on increasing the overall number of client employees serviced. The Company believes
that it can increase the overall number of client employees serviced through: (i) the
enlargement of its target market focus to client prospects having 20-500 employees; (ii)
the reconfiguration of sales territories to fewer territories that are larger in size;
(iii) improved human resource outsourcing service offerings that will lead to higher
current client employee retention levels; and (iv) acquisitions of other human resource
outsourcing client portfolios.

The
Company has announced a long-range strategic objective of providing its range of insourced
human resource services to its clients without the risk associated with providing
workers compensation and healthcare insurance programs to its clients. The Company
expects to evolve toward a business model that does not require the co-employment
relationship but allows clients to retain their own insurance programs, which the Company
will administer. To date, the results of this new business model have not had a
significant impact on the Companys revenues or results of operations.

The
following tables for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003
provide information that the Company utilizes when assessing the financial performance of
its business, which includes the effect of the TeamStaff acquisition in November 2003 and
the EPIX acquisition in March 2004:

| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
Company believes that the primary risks in being able to increase the overall number of
client employees serviced are: (i) the amount of time required for sales personnel to
begin to acquire new client employees may be longer than anticipated; (ii) the current
client employee retention levels may decrease if clients decide to use alternative
providers to service their human resource outsourcing needs; (iii) other human resource
outsourcing client employee portfolios may not be available for acquisition due to price
or quality of the portfolios; (iv) the Company (under its co-employed service option) may
not be able to continue to provide insurance-related products of a quality to acquire new
client employees and to retain current client employees; and (v) the time to achieve
acceptance by prospective clients of the Companys new business model may be longer
than anticipated.

# Acquisitions

EPIX Acquisition. On March 26, 2004, the Company acquired the human resource
outsourcing client portfolio of EPIX Holdings Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries.
The transaction was accomplished by an assignment from EPIX (and its subsidiaries) to the
Company of all of its client service agreements, which covered approximately 2,000 clients
and approximately 30,000 client employees.

The purchase price for the acquired assets was $37.8 million (including direct
acquisition costs of $1.8 million). In connection with the acquisition, the Company
entered into a $35.0 million unsecured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A.
Approximately $20.0 million of this facility was utilized to fund the purchase price
for the acquisition and the remainder of the purchase price was paid from internal funds
of the Company. Of the amount paid to EPIX, $2.5 million was placed in an escrow
account as security for certain indemnification obligations of EPIX under the asset
purchase agreement. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed certain
employee benefit plans of EPIX that cover certain of the client employees acquired.
Amounts held in the escrow account may be used by the Company under certain circumstances
to reimburse or compensate the Company for adverse consequences resulting from a breach by
EPIX of certain representations and warranties in the asset purchase agreement or issues
related to any assumed employee benefit plan that result from any action or failure to act
on the part of EPIX prior to the closing date of the transaction. Escrow amounts
remaining, if any, will be released to EPIX over a two-year period. The Company converted
the EPIX clients and client employees to Gevitys Oracle Human Resource Management
and Payroll applications during June 2004.

23


---

TeamStaff Acquisition. On November 17, 2003, the Company acquired the human
resource outsourcing client portfolio of TeamStaff, Inc. together with certain other
assets. The TeamStaff acquisition was accomplished through an assignment by TeamStaff (and
its subsidiaries) to Gevity of all of its client service agreements, which covered over
1,500 clients and over 16,000 client employees. The other assets acquired consisted
primarily of a proprietary benefits reconciliation software program and leases of certain
office space occupied by TeamStaff. The Company has completed the conversion of the former
TeamStaff clients and their employees to Gevitys Oracle Human Resource Management
and Payroll applications.

The purchase price for the acquired TeamStaff assets was $9.7 million (including
direct acquisition costs of approximately $0.2 million), which was paid in cash from
internal funds. Of this amount, $2.5 million was held in an escrow account and was to
be released based upon the retention of former TeamStaff clients. In March 2004, the
Company and TeamStaff agreed to release $2.25 million of the escrow proceeds to
TeamStaff based on the retention by Gevity of approximately 90% of former TeamStaff client
employees during the measurement period. The balance of the escrow was returned to Gevity.

# Revenues

The
gross billings that the Company charges its clients under its Professional Services
Agreement include each client employees gross wages, a consolidated service fee and,
to the extent elected by the clients, health and welfare benefit plan costs. The
Companys consolidated service fee, which is primarily computed on a per employee
basis, is intended to yield a profit to the Company and to cover the costs of the human
resource outsourcing services provided by the Company to the client, certain
employment-related taxes and workers compensation insurance coverage. The
professional service fee component of the consolidated service fee related to human
resource outsourcing varies according to a number of factors, such as the size and the
location of the client. The component of the consolidated service fee related to
workers compensation and unemployment insurance is based, in part, on the
clients historical claims experience. All charges by the Company are invoiced along
with each periodic payroll provided to the client.

The
Company accounts for its revenues using the accrual method of accounting. Under the
accrual method of accounting, the Company recognizes its revenues in the period in which
the client employee performs work. The Company accrues revenues and unbilled receivables
for consolidated service fees relating to work performed by client employees but unpaid at
the end of each period. In addition, the related costs of services are accrued as a
liability for the same period. Subsequent to the end of each period, such wages are paid
and the related service fees are billed.

The
Company reports revenues from consolidated service fees in accordance with Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus
Net as an Agent. The Company reports as revenues, on a gross basis, the total amount
billed to clients for professional service fees, health and welfare benefit plan fees,
workers compensation and unemployment insurance fees. The Company reports revenues
on a gross basis for these fees because the Company is the primary obligor and deemed to
be the principal in these transactions under EITF No. 99-19. The Company reports revenues
on a net basis for the amount billed to clients for client employee salaries, wages and
certain payroll-related taxes less amounts paid to client employees and taxing authorities
for these salaries, wages and taxes.

24


---

The
Companys revenues are impacted by the number of client employees it serves, the
number of client employees paid each period and the related wages paid, and the number of
client employees participating in the Companys benefit plans. Because a portion of
the consolidated service fee charged is computed as a percentage of gross payroll,
revenues are affected by fluctuations in the gross payroll caused by the composition of
the employee base, inflationary effects on wage levels and differences in the local
economies in the Companys markets.

# Cost of Services

Cost
of services includes health and welfare benefit plan costs, workers compensation
insurance costs and state unemployment tax costs, as well as other direct costs associated
with the Companys revenue generating activities.

Health
and welfare benefit plan costs are comprised primarily of medical benefit costs, but also
include costs of other employee benefits such as dental, vision, disability and group life
insurance. Benefit claims incurred by client employees under the benefit plans are
expensed as incurred according to the terms of each contract. In addition, for certain
contracts, liability reserves are established for benefit claims reported and not yet paid
and claims that have been incurred but not reported.

In
certain instances, the Company decides to make a contribution toward the medical benefit
plan costs of certain clients. The contribution is referred to as a health benefit
subsidy. The addition of the client employees of these clients as participants in
the Companys medical benefit plans helps to stabilize the overall claims experience
risk associated with those plans. An aggregate health benefit subsidy in excess of a
planned amount may occur when the medical cost inflation exceeds expected medical cost
trends or when medical benefit plan enrollment of those who qualify for a subsidy exceeds
expectations. Conversely, a health benefit surplus may occur when the medical
cost inflation is less than expected medical cost trends or when medical benefit plan
enrollment of those who qualify for a subsidy is less than expectations.

The
Company offers its medical benefit plans in conjunction with various health care
companies. Most of these companies have strong reputations in the markets in which the
Company operates.

Substantially
all of the Companys client employees are covered under the Companys
workers compensation program with member insurance companies of American
International Group (AIG) which became effective January 1, 2003. Under this
program, workers compensation costs for the year are based on premiums paid to AIG
for the current year coverage, estimated total costs of claims to be paid by the Company
that fall within the policy deductible, the administrative costs of the program, the
return on investment premium dollars paid as part of the program and the discount rate
used in determining the present value of future payments to be made under the program.
Additionally, any revisions to the estimates of the prior year loss sensitive programs are
recognized in the current year. In states where private insurance is not permitted, client
employees are covered by state insurance funds. Premiums paid to state insurance funds are
expensed as incurred.

On
an annual basis, the Company reviews the current and prior year claims information with
its independent actuaries. The current accrual rate and overall workers compensation
reserves may be adjusted based on current and historical loss trends, fluctuations in the
administrative costs associated with the program, actual returns on investment earned with
respect to premium dollars paid and changes in the discount rate used to determine the
present value of future payments to be made under the program. The final costs of coverage
will be determined by the actual claims experience over time as claims close, the final
administrative costs of the program and the final return on investment earned with respect
to premium dollars paid.

State
unemployment taxes are generally paid as a percentage of payroll costs and expensed as
incurred. Rates vary from state to state and are based upon the employers claims
history. The Company aggressively manages its state unemployment tax exposure by
contesting unwarranted claims.

# Operating Expenses

Operating
expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and commissions associated with the
Companys internal employees, and general and administrative expenses. Sales and
marketing commissions and client referral fees are expensed as incurred. The Company
expects that future revenue growth will result in increased operating leverage as the
Companys fixed operating expenses are leveraged over a larger revenue base.

# Operating Income

Profitability
is largely dependent upon the Companys success in growing the business and managing
the costs that are within its control.

The
Company believes it can continue to profitably grow its business through (i) effective use
of the operating leverage that exists within the Company; (ii) pricing opportunities that
exist with respect to the product offerings; and (iii) growing the number of client
employees served by the Company through increased organic growth and through client
portfolio acquisitions.

The
most volatile factors that drive cost of services primarily relate to workers
compensation coverage, health benefit plans and state unemployment taxes. The Company
seeks to manage these costs through the use of: (i) workers compensation
arrangements with carriers who efficiently manage claims administration and the
Companys internal risk assessment and client risk management programs; (ii)
appropriately designed health benefit plans that encourage client employee participation
and efficient risk pooling; and (iii) active management of its state unemployment tax
exposure. These factors will diminish in significance as the Companys optional new
business model gains acceptance.

# Income Taxes

The
Company records income tax expense (benefit) using the asset and liability method of
accounting for deferred income taxes. The Companys effective tax rate for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was 33.0%. Such effective tax rates
differed from the statutory federal tax rates primarily because of state taxes and federal
tax credits.

For
the three months ended September 30, 2004, revenues were $148.0 million compared to $102.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 representing an increase of $45.2
million or 43.9%. Revenue growth was primarily a result of the TeamStaff and EPIX
acquisitions. Also contributing to the growth were increases in the charges for
professional service fees, as part of the Companys strategy to emphasize the human
resource consulting services that it provides to its clients, and increases in fees for
providing workers compensation insurance and health and welfare benefits for client
employees.

As
of September 30, 2004, the Company served approximately 8,800 clients as measured by each
clients FEIN and approximately 10,000 as measured by separate client payroll cycles,
with approximately 134,000 active client employees. This compares to approximately 6,100
clients as measured by each clients FEIN and approximately 6,600 as measured by
separate client payroll cycles, with approximately 88,000 active client employees at
September 30, 2003. The change in client employees is a function of client employees added
through acquisitions and organic growth, less attrition, plus the net changes due to the
hiring and termination of employees by existing clients. The Company operates branch
offices in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota,
New Jersey, North Carolina, New York, Tennessee and Texas.

The
average number of paid client employees was 125,262 for the three months ended September
30, 2004, as compared to 84,381 for the three months ended September 30, 2003,
representing an increase of 48.4%. The increase was primarily a result of the TeamStaff
and EPIX acquisitions, which accounted for approximately 39,000 additional average paid employees
for the period.

increased 7.0% to $36,061 from $33,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This
increase is consistent with the Companys strategy of focusing on clients that pay
higher wages to their employees.

Revenues
for professional service fees increased to $35.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004, from $22.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003,
representing an increase of $12.1 million or 53.0%. The increase was primarily due to the
TeamStaff and EPIX acquisitions. In addition, there was an increase in professional
service fees per client employee of 3.0%, from $1,084 for the three months ended September
30, 2003 to $1,117 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Such service fee
increases per employee were attributable to both current and new client employees.

Revenues
for providing health and welfare benefits plans for the three months ended September 30,
2004 were $79.5 million as compared to $52.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2003, representing an increase of $27.2 million or 52.0%. Health and welfare benefit
plan charges primarily increased as a result of the effects of the TeamStaff and EPIX
acquisitions. Additionally, health and welfare benefit plan revenues increased as a result
of higher costs to the Company to provide such coverage for client employees and the
Companys approach to pass along all insurance-related cost increases.

Revenues
for providing workers compensation insurance coverage increased to $30.0 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $26.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 representing an increase of $3.7 million or 14.2%. Workers
compensation billings, as a percentage of workers compensation wages for 2004, were
2.80% as compared to 3.82% for 2003, representing a decrease of 26.7%. Workers
compensation charges increased in the third quarter of 2004 primarily due to the TeamStaff
and EPIX acquisitions and was partially offset by a decrease in billings for Florida
clients reflecting a reduction in Florida manual premium rates.

The
manual premium rate for workers compensation applicable to the Companys
clients decreased 24.6% to $3.46 during the three months ended September 30, 2004 from
$4.59 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Manual premium rates are generally
the allowable rates that employers can be charged by insurance companies for workers
compensation insurance coverage. The decrease in the Companys manual premium rates
reflects the change in the workers compensation insurance risk profile of the
Companys clients.

Revenues
from state unemployment taxes and other revenues increased to $3.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
2003 representing an increase of $2.1 million or 153.1%. The increase was primarily due to
the TeamStaff and the EPIX acquisitions.

Cost
of  services  that  include the cost of the  Company's  health and welfare  benefit
 plans,  workers' compensation  insurance,  state  unemployment  taxes and other costs
were $103.9 million for the three months ended September  30, 2004,  compared to $74.0
 million for the three months ended  September  30, 2003,  representing  an increase of
$29.9  million or 40.3%.  This  increase was  primarily  due to the effects of the
 TeamStaff  and EPIX acquisitions.

The
cost of providing  health and welfare  benefit plans to client's  employees for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 was $79.4  million as compared to $52.3  million for the
three months ended  September 30, 2003, representing  an increase of $27.1 million or
51.8%.  This increase was  primarily  attributable  to the effects of the TeamStaff and
EPIX acquisitions and higher costs associated with providing benefits coverage.

Workers'
 compensation  costs were $21.2  million  for the three  months  ended  September  30,
 2004,  as compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended  September 30, 2003,
 representing  a increase of $0.5 million or 2.5%.  Workers'  compensation  costs
increased in the third quarter of 2004 due to the net effect of an increase in workers'
 compensation  expense as a result of the TeamStaff and EPIX  acquisitions and the
overall reduction in workers'  compensation costs. The decrease in overall workers'
 compensation costs is due to the following factors: (i) the  elimination  of the
 aggregate  stop loss  coverage  under the 2004 AIG  workers'  compensation  insurance
program;  (ii) a  decrease  in  premium  expense  relating  to the  individual  stop loss
 coverage  as a result of reinsuring the $1 million to $2 million per occurrence  layer
with Munich  American  Reassurance  Company;  (iii) a decrease in general  premiums and
taxes  associated  with manual premium rate  decreases in Florida;  (iv) a higher
investment  return on a higher premium  amount with AIG associated  with claims below the
$2 million per occurrence deductible; and (v) improved workers compensation claim metrics
in the third quarter of 2004.

headcount related to a sales force expansion during 2003 and an increase in headcount
related to the TeamStaff and EPIX acquisitions.

general and administrative expenses were $10.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 as compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30,

an increase in postage and delivery fees related to the additional client employees, and
an increase in rent expense and associated utilities for additional service branches
opened in 2003.

Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004
compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is

million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 representing an increase of $124.2
million or 40.4%. Revenue growth was primarily a result of the TeamStaff and EPIX

decrease of $1.8 million or 2.8%. Workers compensation costs decreased in the first
nine months of 2004 due to the net effect of an overall reduction in workers
compensation costs and an increase in workers compensation expense as a result of the
TeamStaff and EPIX acquisitions. The decrease in overall workers compensation costs
is due to the following factors: (i) the elimination of the aggregate stop loss coverage
under the 2004 AIG workers compensation insurance program; (ii) a decrease in
premium expense relating to the individual stop loss coverage as a result of reinsuring
the $1 million to $2 million per occurrence layer with Munich American Reassurance
Company; (iii) a decrease in general premiums and taxes associated with manual premium
rate decreases in Florida; (iv) a higher investment return on a higher premium amount with
AIG associated with claims below the $2 million per occurrence deductible; and (v)
improved workers compensation claim metrics in the first nine months of 2004.

State
unemployment taxes and other costs were $14.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2004, compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
representing an increase of $8.6 million or 138.9%. The increase primarily relates to the
effects of the TeamStaff and EPIX acquisitions, as well as higher state unemployment tax
rates beginning January 1, 2004.

# Operating Expenses

The
following table presents certain information related to the Companys operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

|                                 | Nine Months Ended
|-------------------------------- | -----------------
|
|
|Operating expenses:              |                  
|Salaries, wages and commissions  |                  
|Other general and administrative |                  
|Depreciation and amortization    |                  
|                                 |                  
|Total operating expenses         |                  
|                                 |                  
|Statistical data:                |                  
|Internal employees at period end |                  

Total
operating expenses were $93.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as
compared to $67.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, representing an
increase of $26.0 million or 38.7%.

Salaries,
wages and commissions were $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as
compared to $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, representing an
increase of $13.8 million or 35.6%. The increase is primarily a result of increased
headcount related to a sales force expansion during 2003 and an increase in headcount
related to the TeamStaff and EPIX acquisitions.

Other
general and administrative expenses were $30.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2004 as compared to $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
representing an increase of $7.3 million or 31.7%. This increase is primarily a result of
increased costs associated with the TeamStaff and EPIX acquisitions, including an increase
in postage and delivery fees related to the additional client employees, and an increase
in rent expense and associated utilities for additional service branches opened in 2003.

Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is
primarily attributable to the amortization of the intangible assets associated with the
TeamStaff and the EPIX acquisitions.

# Interest Income, net

Interest
income, net, was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to
$1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily due
to an increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 associated
with the Companys revolving credit facility utilized in connection with the EPIX
acquisition and repaid in connection with the Companys secondary stock offering.

# Income Taxes

Income
taxes were $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $5.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is primarily due to an
increase in taxable income for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the first nine
months of 2003. The Companys effective tax rates for 2004 and 2003 were 33.0%. The
Companys effective tax rates differed from the statutory federal tax rates primarily
because of state taxes and federal tax credits.

# Net Income and Diluted
Earnings Per Share

As
a result of the factors described above, net income increased 114.1% to $22.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $10.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. Net income per common share on 27.7 million diluted shares was
$0.80 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 excluding the impact of the
non-recurring, non-cash charge related to the Preferred Stock conversion, the accretion of
redemption value of Preferred Stock prior to conversion and the related Preferred Stock
dividends, as compared to net income per common share on 24.0 million diluted shares of
$0.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. There were no pro forma adjustments
applicable for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. See the reconciliation of the pro
forma information under Non-GAAP Financial Information.

Preferred Stock
Conversion and Accounting Treatment

On
May 19, 2004, the holders of the Preferred Stock converted 100% of their holdings into the
Companys common stock. The conversion price was $5.44 per share and resulted in the
issuance of 5,514,705 shares of the Companys common stock.

In
connection with the original issue of the Preferred Stock on June 6, 2003, the Company
recorded the Preferred Stock at its fair value on the date of issuance of approximately
$30.0 million less issuance costs of $2.3 million, and less an allocation of $27.3 million to a beneficial
conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature resulted from the conversion feature
of the Preferred Stock that was in-the-money on the date of issuance attributable to the
increase in the market price of the Companys common stock during the period from the
date on which the conversion price was fixed (approximating market price at that time) and
the date on which the Preferred Stock was issued, following shareholder approval. The
beneficial conversion feature was calculated as the difference between the market price
and the conversion price on the date of issuance, multiplied by the number of shares of
common stock into which the Preferred Stock was convertible. The beneficial conversion
amount was recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the Preferred Stock and an
increase to additional paid-in-capital. The difference between the aggregate liquidation
value of $30.0 million and the initial balance of $0.4 million recorded in the Series A Preferred Stock
account on the Companys balance sheet, as a result of the beneficial conversion
feature and the cost of issuance, was being amortized over the periods from the date of
issuance to the respective demand redemption dates for each 10,000 share tranche,
utilizing the interest method.

Following
the conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock into common stock, the Company recorded in
the second quarter of 2004 a non-recurring, non-cash charge of $29.3 million to retained
earnings and reduced net income attributable to common shareholders by a corresponding
amount. This charge was required in order to account for the acceleration of the
unamortized discount related to the beneficial conversion feature and stock issuance
costs.

# LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS

# Cash Flow

# General

The
Company periodically evaluates its liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability
of capital resources in view of its plans for expansion of its human resource outsourcing
portfolio through acquisitions, collateralization requirements for insurance coverage and
other operating cash needs. As a result of this process, the Company has in the past
sought, and may in the future seek, to obtain additional capital from either private or
public sources.

On
May 19, 2004, the Company completed its secondary public stock offering of 1,750,000
shares of its common stock for $21.75 per share, less underwriting discounts and
commissions of $1.305 per share. Net proceeds from the offering totaled approximately
$34.7 million (net of $1.1 million of stock issuance costs). A portion of the proceeds
from the offering totaling $20.0 million was used to repay outstanding borrowings under
the Companys credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The remainder of the
proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On
March 26, 2004, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Bank of
America, N.A. The credit agreement was amended on September 22, 2004 to allow the Company
to repurchase shares of its capital stock under certain conditions and to revise certain
financial covenants (as amended, the Credit Agreement). Certain of the
Companys subsidiaries named in the Credit Agreement have guaranteed the obligations
under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving borrowings in an
amount not to exceed $35.0 million and has a term of three years. Loan advances bear
interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin (based upon a ratio of total debt to
consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus one of the following
indexes: (i) 30-day LIBOR; and (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate. Up to $7.0
million of the loan commitment can be made through letters of credit, a fee determined by
reference to the applicable margin will be charged on the aggregate stated amount of each
outstanding letter of credit. A fee of the 50 basis points per annum is charged for any
unused portion of the loan commitment.

The
Credit Agreement includes certain financial maintenance requirements and affirmative and
negative covenants, including the following:

| |  | the
Company's consolidated net worth at the end of any quarter may not be less than the sum
of:
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 85%
of the Company's consolidated net worth as of December 31, 2003; plus
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | as
of the end of each quarter commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an amount
equal to 75% of the Companys consolidated net income for the quarter then ended
(substituting 40% for the 75% if the Companys board of directors authorized a
repurchase of shares of the Companys common stock); plus
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 100% of the proceeds of certain issuances of
the Company's capital stock after March 26, 2004.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | the
Companys consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, may not be less
than $30.0 million for each twelve month period ending as of each fiscal quarter;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | the
Companys ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) to consolidated EBITDA as of the end of any fiscal quarter may not be greater
than 1.50 to 1.0; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

36


---

| |  | the
Companys consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) as of the end of any fiscal quarter may not be less than 1.5 to 1.0. If the
Companys board of directors authorized a repurchase of shares of the Companys
common stock the fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1.2 to 1.0.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
covenants in the Credit Agreement also restrict, among other things, the Companys
ability to: incur liens; make certain investments; incur additional indebtedness; engage
in certain fundamental corporate transactions; dispose of property; redeem the Series A
Preferred Stock; or make certain restricted payments. The Credit Agreement contains
customary events of default and allows the bank to accelerate amounts outstanding under
the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events of default.

On
March 26, 2004, the Company borrowed $20.0 million under the Credit Agreement to partially
fund the EPIX acquisition. The Company used approximately $20.0 million of the net
proceeds from its secondary stock offering to pay in full the amount outstanding under the
credit agreement.

The
Company currently believes that its current cash balances and cash flow from operations
will be sufficient to meet its operational requirements for the next 12 months, excluding
cash required for acquisitions, if any.

The
Companys primary short-term liquidity requirements relate to the payment of accrued
payroll and payroll taxes of its internal and client employees, accounts payable for
capital expenditures, the payment of workers compensation premiums and medical
benefit plan premiums. The Companys billings to its clients include: (i) each client
employees gross wages; (ii) a professional service fee which is primarily computed
as a percentage of the gross wages; (iii) related payroll taxes; and (iv) the
clients portion of benefits, including medical and retirement benefits, provided to
the client employees based on elected coverage levels by the client and the client
employees. Included in the Companys billings during the first nine months of 2004
were salaries, wages and payroll taxes of client employees of $3,300.0 million. The
billings to clients are managed from a cash flow perspective so that a matching exists
between the time that the funds are received from a client to the time that the funds are
paid to the client employees and to the appropriate tax jurisdictions. As a co-employer,
and under the terms of each of the Companys Professional Services Agreements, the
Company is obligated to make certain wage, tax and regulatory payments. Therefore, the
objective of the Company is to minimize the credit risk associated with remitting the
payroll and associated taxes before receiving the service fees from the client. To the
extent this objective is not achieved, short-term cash requirements can be significant. In
addition, the timing and amount of payments for payroll, payroll taxes and benefit
premiums can vary significantly based on various factors, including the day of the week on
which a payroll period ends and the existence of holidays at or immediately following a
payroll period-end.

# Restricted Cash

At
September 30, 2004, the Company had $179.8 million in total cash and cash equivalents,
certificates of deposits and marketable securities, of which $85.1 million was
unrestricted. The Company is required to collateralize its obligations under its
workers compensation and health benefit plans and certain general insurance
coverage. The Company uses its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to
collateralize these obligations as more fully described below. Cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities used to collateralize these obligations are designated as restricted
in the Companys financial statements.

At
September 30, 2004, the Company had pledged $94.7 million of restricted certificates of
deposit and restricted marketable securities, with original maturities of less than one
year, as collateral for certain standby letters of credit, in collateral trust
arrangements issued in connection with the Companys workers compensation and
health benefit plans, and in a rabbi trust in connection with a deferred compensation plan
assumed in the EPIX acquisition as follows:

The
amount of collateral required to be provided to BCBS may increase based in part on the
increase in plan participation and the requirement by BCBS to increase the Companys
collateralized obligations from one months estimate of claims payment to two months.
The Company was not required to collateralize the Aetna program for 2004 and 2003.

On
October 11, 2004, the Company finalized agreements with AIG and CNA related to the
Companys 2000, 2001 and 2002 workers compensation insurance programs with CNA.
Under the new agreements, which became effective as of September 30, 2004, the Company
purchased insurance from AIG to cover the Companys workers compensation claims
liability up to the $1.0 million per occurrence deductible level for program years 2000,
2001 and 2002. CNA remains the insurer on the underlying claims for these program years.
The insurance purchased from AIG also provides the Company greater protection relative to
the aggregate insurance stop-loss coverage by reducing the Companys maximum exposure
from 130% of expected total losses to approximately 117% of expected total losses over the
life of each policy. An insurance premium of $102.0 million was paid to AIG in October
2004 by the Company and was funded substantially through the release by CNA to the Company
of restricted marketable securities of approximately $76.5 million previously pledged to
CNA as collateral and of premium payments and deposits approximating $24.7 million
previously paid to CNA.

As
of September 30, 2004, the Company has recorded a $40.6 million receivable from AIG
representing premium payments made to AIG during 2004 and 2003 in excess of the present
value of the estimated claims liability. During October 2004, the receivable from AIG is
expected to increase by approximately $41.5 million due to premium payments in excess of
the present value of the estimated claims liability pursuant to the October 11, 2004
agreement with AIG. This receivable represents a significant concentration of credit risk
for the Company.

The
Company does not anticipate any additional collateral obligations will be required in 2004
for its workers compensation arrangements.

# Operating Cash Flow

At
September 30, 2004, the Company had net working capital of $92.0 million, including
restricted funds classified as short-term of $86.5 million, as compared to $90.1 million
in net working capital as of December 31, 2003, including $90.3 million of restricted
funds classified as short-term.

38


---

Net
cash provided by operating activities was $33.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, representing an increase of $27.1
million. The overall increase in cash provided by operating activities is attributable to
the increase in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and other net changes in working capital items,
including accounts receivable, workers compensation receivable, accrued insurance
premiums, health and workers compensation reserves, accrued payroll and payroll taxes, and
customer deposits and prepayments.

If
current workers compensation trends continue, the Company anticipates receiving
during the third quarter of 2005 approximately $28 million from an additional release of
premium by AIG as a result of the premium audit and annual loss provision adjustment.
Additional releases of premium by AIG are anticipated in future years if such trends
continue.

# Cash Flow from
Investing Activities

Cash
used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $26.0 million
primarily relates to the funds used for the EPIX acquisition ($37.8 million, including
direct acquisition costs of $1.8 million), the release of $2.3 million of escrow to
TeamStaff related to the settlement of the TeamStaff acquisition contingent purchase price
and the release by AIG of approximately $13.6 million of collateral held in connection
with the Companys workers compensation program. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, the Company incurred $3.3 million in capital expenditures primarily
related to investments in its information technology systems.

# Cash Flow from
Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of
$32.9 million was primarily a result of the closing of the secondary public offering of
1,750,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $21.75 per share, less underwriting
discounts and commissions, of $1.305 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from the
offering totaled approximately $34.7 million, (net of $1.1 million of issuance costs) of
which $20.0 million was used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Bank of America,
N.A. credit agreement.

The
Company received approximately $2.6 million from directors, officers and employees of the
Company upon the exercise of 585,478 stock options and the purchase of 27,777 shares of
common stock under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The
Company paid dividends to the common and preferred shareholders of approximately $4.4
million during the first nine months of 2004.

# Inflation

The
Company believes that inflation in salaries and wages of client employees has a positive
impact on its results of operations as certain amounts of the professional service fee
earned from clients is proportional to such changes in salaries and wages.

# ITEM 3.     Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The
Company is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on its
investing and cash management activities. The Company utilizes U.S. government agency and
other corporate debt with fixed rates and maturities of less than one year and money
market funds to manage its exposures to interest rates. (See Note 2 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q). The Company
holds restricted collateral with respect to its insurance programs provided by the member
insurance companies of AIG, which have been invested in money market funds. If interest
rates decrease, the interest income with respect to these investments would be reduced.
The insurance premiums paid to AIG under its workers compensation insurance program
earn a fixed rate of return and are not subject to market risk from changes in interest
rates (See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q). The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a
material effect on income or cash flows in 2004, although there can be no assurances that
interest rates will not change.

# ITEM 4.     Controls and
Procedures

As
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon
that evaluation, the Companys management concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this report and no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting were identified in the prior fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
