# GEVITY HR, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES                         NOTES 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 (the Company or Gevity) have been 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 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. 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 Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the Companys
significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Significant Accounting
Policies

Stock-Based
Compensation  In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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
March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Companys investment portfolio consisted of
restricted marketable debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale.

Restricted
marketable securities include 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 and
EPIX acquisitions (see Note 5) 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.

The
carrying amount of the marketable securities portfolio by type and classification as of
March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 is as follows:

|                                                    | Amortized

# 4. WORKERS
COMPENSATION RECEIVABLE

The
Company established a loss sensitive workers compensation insurance program with
member insurance companies of American International Group, Inc. (AIG)
effective January 1, 2003. In 2003, the Company began to operate a wholly-owned
Bermuda-based insurance company 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, aggregate
claim stop loss insurance risk; and (iii) premium payment credit risk.

The
Company, through its Bermuda-based insurance company, 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 policy year and $2 million per occurrence for the 2004 policy year. Claim amounts in
excess of $1 million per occurrence for the 2003 policy year and $2 million per occurrence
for the 2004 policy year are insured through the AIG program. For the 2004 policy 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
company, 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 $96,600
of such premiums paid, the Company is guaranteed by AIG to receive a 2.92% per annum fixed
return. 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 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 policy year are insured through the AIG program. The amount of the expected losses is
established at the beginning of the policy year based on an expected volume of payroll. 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 policy year unless payroll volume or actual losses exceed certain
estimated amounts established at the beginning of the policy 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. The Company has reached an
agreement with AIG whereby the $17,000 of collateral related to premium payment credit
risk for the 2003 plan will serve as collateral for the 2004 year plan. This amount has
been included as long-term marketable securities-restricted as of March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003.

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

# 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 cover approximately 2,000 clients
and approximately 30,000 client employees. Approximately 50 internal employees of EPIX
have accepted permanent employment with the Company. In addition, approximately 110
employees of EPIX will remain with the Company for a transitional period of 90 days from
the date of the EPIX acquisition.

The
purchase price for the acquired assets was $37,507 (including direct acquisition costs of
$1,507). 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. The Company expects to convert EPIX
clients and client employees into the Gevity system within 90 days after the closing of
the acquisition.

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 March 31,
2004. The purchase price of $35,007 (excluding $2,500 of contingent purchase price related
to the escrow account and included within short-term and long-term marketable
securities-restricted as of March 31, 2004) was preliminarily allocated to assets acquired
based upon their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition as determined by
management estimates. Preliminarily, 100% of the purchase price was 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. The final allocation of the purchase
price is dependent upon completion of a valuation study expected to be completed by June
30, 2004. Changes to the intangible asset and related amortization as a result of the
finalization of the valuation study could be material. Additionally, resolution of the
purchase price contingency may result in an additional amount (up to $2,500) allocated to
the intangible asset.

In
connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed the assets and liabilities related to
a deferred compensation plan. At March 31, 2004, a receivable from EPIX of approximately
$4,814 related to plan assets to be transferred to the Company is included in other
current assets and the related deferred compensation plan liability of $4,814 is included
in customer deposits and prepayments.

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 and was released 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. The $2,250 has been added to the client list intangible
asset and will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset.

# 6. HEALTH BENEFITS

Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Florida (BCBS) is the Companys primary healthcare
provider in Florida, delivering medical care benefits to approximately 22,000 Florida
client employees. The Companys policy with BCBS is a minimum premium policy expiring
September 30, 2005. Pursuant to this policy, the Company is obligated to 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 March 31, 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 is 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 23,000 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 an HMO and PPO
offering 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 8,000 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, Health Partners
(Minnesota) in Minnesota, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare in Massachusetts, Capital Health
Plans in the Tallahassee, Florida region, and Health Net, Inc. in New Jersey and New York.

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

In
addition to dental coverage, the Company offers various guaranteed 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 and dependent care costs.

Client
employees acquired in the EPIX acquisition and the prior year TeamStaff acquisition
continue to be provided medical care benefits under the medical benefit plans in which
they participated on the date of the respective acquisitions. These plans are guaranteed
cost contracts that cap the Companys annual liability.

Included
in accrued insurance premiums, health and workers compensation insurance reserves at
March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are $24,879 and $20,233, respectively, of short-term
liabilities related to the Companys health care plans. There were no long-term
liabilities related to the Companys health benefit plans at March 31, 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
policy years 2000, 2001 and 2002. 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.

12


---

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 policy year. The amount of the expected losses is
established at the beginning of the policy year based on an expected volume of payroll. If
the payroll volume varies during the year, the amount of the aggregate claim stop loss
insurance risk changes proportionately. Total claims amounts during the policy year that
exceed 130% of the expected loss amount are insured through the CNA program. The Company
generally does not pay additional premiums during the policy year unless payroll volume or
losses exceed the estimated amounts established at the beginning of the policy year.

With
respect to the claim payment timing risk, the Company pays premiums to CNA and guarantees
a specific investment return on those premium payments. If the premium payments plus the
guaranteed investment returns are not adequate to fund a specific amount of claims due to
the payment pattern of those claims being faster than expected, then CNA is required to
fund the additional amounts required.

For
the 2000 and 2001 programs, the Company guaranteed that the premium paid to CNA would earn
an annual rate of return equal to seven percent. For the 2002 program, the Company
guaranteed CNA that the premium would earn a rate of return equal to four and one-quarter
percent. The Company is 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 is used to
pay claims incurred during the policy year and is included in the amount of accrued
insurance premium reserves at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Finally,
with respect to the premium payment credit risk, since this program is a fully insured
policy 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 policy. CNA does require the Company to provide collateral based on the estimate of
expected losses for each policy year. The payment of first year claims by the Company and
premium payments to fund claims to be paid in later years by CNA reduce the amount of the
total collateral to be provided by the Company. The required collateral can be provided in
the form of deposits paid to CNA, cash and short-term investments placed into a trust
account, letters of credit and surety bond collateral provided by independent surety bond
companies. CNA does 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 policy
year. Such collateral amount is established at the beginning of the policy year and actual
payroll volumes may vary, resulting in a difference in the amount of expected losses and
in the amount of collateral provided based on estimates of expected losses made at the
inception of each policy year. Such variances, in addition to not receiving collateral
equal to the aggregate claim stop loss amount, results in credit and premium payment risk
to CNA.

The
Company accrues 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 paid to CNA as part of the program and
the discount rate used to determine the present value of future payments to be made under
the program. Total liabilities for workers compensation costs at March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003 were $70,796 and $71,118, respectively, of which $59,280, was classified
as long-term for both periods. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of
the claim liabilities was 2.5% at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

The
Company pledged $78,954 and $79,136 in restricted marketable securities at March 31, 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. 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 3 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 is charged for any unused portion of
the loan commitment. The credit agreement includes certain financial maintenance
requirements and affirmative and negative covenants, all of which the Company was in
compliance with at March 31, 2004.

As
of March 31, 2004, there were $20,000 in borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement
at an interest rate of 3.1%.

# 9. COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

On
August 12, 2003, a former employee filed a lawsuit against the Company (Donald
Lauderback vs. Gevity HR, Inc., d/b/a Gevity HR Healthcare Plan) in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiff sought monetary damages based on his
claim that the Company wrongfully terminated him after approximately two weeks of
employment, for raising concerns related to the operation of the Companys health
insurance programs. He also sought monetary damages for a purported class of individuals
based on the manner in which the Company operated its health insurance programs. On
February 27, 2004, the Court granted the Companys Motion to Dismiss All Claims and
on March 1, 2004, entered Final Judgment in which all of Plaintiffs claims were
dismissed with prejudice.

The
Company is a party to certain other 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 benefits 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.

# 10. EQUITY

Employee Stock Option
Plans

During
the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, the Company issued 224,453 and
122,722 shares, respectively, of its common stock to directors, officers and employees of
the Company under the Companys stock option plans for aggregate proceeds of
approximately $966 and $340, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase
Plan

During
the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, 18,379 and 21,912 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 were approximately $189 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 and $75 for the three months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Companys
effective rate was 33.0%.

# 12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

For
the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, 495 and 770,300 options, respectively,
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.

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 our Form 10-K. Historical results are not

# 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 100 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 nearby 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 significant market growth opportunity that exists in the underserved
small to medium-sized business market, the Company believes that there also exists a
significant 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 prior to the acquisition of TeamStaff. 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
hiring of additional sales personnel that will result in a larger amount of new client
employees acquired, (ii) improved human resource outsourcing service offerings that will
lead to higher current client employee retention levels and (iii) acquisitions of other
human resource outsourcing client portfolios.

The
following table provides 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:

|Statistical Data:                          |                                     
|Average number of client employees paid by |                                     
|month                                      |                                     
|Average wage per average number of client  |

|Professional service fees per average      |                                     
|number of client employees paid by         |                                     
|month                                      |                                     
|Gross profit per average number of client  |                                     
|employees paid by month                    |                                     
|Operating income per average number of     |                                     
|client employees paid by month             |                                     

The
average number of client employees paid by month is calculated based upon the sum of the
number of paid client employees at the end of each month divided by the number of months
in the period. All other statistical information above is based upon the actual
quarter-to-date amounts, which have been annualized (divided by three and multiplied by
twelve), and then divided by the average number of client employees paid by month.

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 the additional sales
personnel to begin to acquire new client employees that may be longer than anticipated;
(ii) the current client employee retention levels may decrease if clients decide to source
their human resource outsourcing needs from alternative service providers; (iii) other
human resource outsourcing client employee portfolios may not be available for acquisition
due to price or quality of the portfolios; and (iv) the Company 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.

# Acquisitions

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 cover
approximately 2,000 clients and approximately 30,000 client employees. Approximately
50 internal employees of EPIX have accepted permanent employment with the Company. In
addition, approximately 110 internal employees of EPIX will remain with the Company
for a transitional period of 90 days from the date of the EPIX acquisition.

The purchase price for the acquired assets was $37.5 million (including direct
acquisition costs of $1.5 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 expects to
convert EPIX clients and client employees into the Gevity system within 90 days after
the closing of the acquisition.

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. In addition, approximately 70 internal employees
of TeamStaff became internal employees of Gevity. In connection with this acquisition, the
Company also assumed certain of the employee benefit plans that were offered by TeamStaff.
The Company has completed the conversion of the former TeamStaff clients and their
employees into the Gevity system.

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 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 the 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.

19


---

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.

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 partnership with premier health care
companies. These companies have extensive provider networks and strong reputations in the
markets in which the Company operates.

20


---

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.

# 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
months ended March 31, 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.

# Profitability

Profitability
is largely dependent upon the Companys success in generating professional service
fees and managing the costs that are within its control. 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.

For
the three months ended March 31, 2004, revenues were $125.9 million compared to $102.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 representing an increase of $23.1
million or 22.5%. Revenue growth was primarily a result of the TeamStaff acquisition and, to a lesser extent, the EPIX
acquisition, which together provided $16.8 million of revenue during the first quarter of 2004.
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 March 31, 2004, the Company served over 9,000 clients as measured by each clients
FEIN and approximately 10,000 as measured by separate client payroll cycles, with over
138,000 active client employees. The Company operates branch offices in Alabama, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, New York,
Tennessee and Texas.

The
average number of paid client employees was 103,107 at March 31, 2004, as compared to
87,945 at March 31, 2003, representing an increase of 17.2%. The increase was primarily a
result of the TeamStaff acquisition (13,438 additional average paid employees for the
first quarter of 2004). The effect of the EPIX acquisition on this calculation was minimal
for the first quarter of 2004 (3,500 additional paid client employees), as the number of
paid client employees for EPIX were only included in the calculation for a portion of the
month of March.

The
average wage of paid client employees for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased
3.9% to $31,759 from $30,569 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $28.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2004, from $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing an
increase of $5.9 million or 26.5%. The increase was a result of increases in professional
service fees per client employee of 7.8%, from $1,021 for the three months ended March 31,
2003 to $1,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Such service fee increases per
employee were attributable to both current and new client employees. In addition,
professional service fees for the three months ending March 31, 2004 were higher by $3.0
million as a result of the TeamStaff acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition.

Revenues
for providing health and welfare benefits plans for the three months ended March 31, 2004
were $65.4 million as compared to $52.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003,
representing an increase of $12.9 million or 24.6%. Health and welfare benefit plan
charges primarily increased as a result of the effect of the TeamStaff acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX
acquisition (together $9.1 million). 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 $25.4 million in
2004, from $23.1 million in 2003 representing an increase of $2.2 million or 9.5%.
Workers compensation billings, as a percentage of client salaries and wages for
2004, were 3.10% as compared to 3.44% for 2003, representing a decrease of 9.9%.
Workers compensation charges increased in the first quarter of 2004 primarily due to
the TeamStaff acquisition and, and to a lesser extent the EPIX acquisition (together $3.2 million) 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 8.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 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 $6.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003
representing an increase of $2.1 million or 44.2%. The increase was primarily due to the
TeamStaff acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition (together $1.5 million).

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 $90.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $78.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, representing an increase of $12.1 million or 15.6%. This
increase was primarily due to the effect of the TeamStaff acquisition, and and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition.

The
cost of providing health and welfare benefit plans to clients employees for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 was $65.4 million as compared to $52.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2003, representing an increase of $12.9 million or 24.6%.
This increase was primarily attributable to the effect of the TeamStaff acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX
acquisition.

Workers
compensation costs were $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as
compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing a
decrease of $4.1 million or 18.6%. Workers compensation costs decreased in the first
quarter 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 acquisition and, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition. 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 $1 million per occurrence deductible; and (v)
improved workers compensation claim metrics in the first quarter of 2004.

State
unemployment taxes and other costs were $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2004, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing an
increase of $3.3 million or 99.2%. The increase primarily relates to the effect of the
TeamStaff acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition 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 three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

|                                  | Three Months Ended | 
|--------------------------------- | ------------------ | 
|
|
|Operating Expenses:               |                    | 
|Salaries, wages and commissions   |                    | 
|Other general and administrative  |                    | 
|Depreciation and amortization     |                    | 
|                                  |                    | 
|                                  |                    | 
|Total Operating Expenses          |                    | 
|                                  |                    | 
|                                  |                    | 
|Statistical Data:                 |                    | 
|Internal employees at quarter end |                    | 

Total
operating expenses were $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as
compared to $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing an
increase of $5.3 million or 24.9%.

Salaries,
wages and commissions were $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as
compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing an
increase of $3.8 million or 29.9%. 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 acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition.

Other
general and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2004 as compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing
an increase of $1.2 million or 17.4%. This increase is primarily a result of increased
costs associated with the TeamStaff acquisition, 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 $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004
compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is
primarily attributable to the amortization of the intangible assets associated with the
TeamStaff acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the EPIX acquisition.

# Interest Expense

Interest
income, net was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.4
million for the first three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease is due to a slight
decline in overall interest rates.

# Income Taxes

Income
taxes were $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to an increase in
taxable income for the first three months of 2004 compared to the first three 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.

# 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. Certain types or amounts of financing will require the consent of the
Frontenac entities so long as they hold (or are entitled to vote) a majority of the Series
A Preferred Stock.

On
April 22, 2004, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to register 6,325,000 shares of its common stock. An amendment to
the Form S-3 was filed on May 4, 2004 and the registration statement was declared effective
 by the Securities and Exchange Commission
on May 7, 2004. In connection
with the registration statement, the Company will offer 1,750,000 shares of its common
stock to the public, selling shareholders will offer 3,750,000 shares, and 825,000 shares
relate to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters by certain selling
shareholders. The offering price for the 6,325,000 has not yet been determined. The
Company will not receive any of the proceeds related to the shares offered by the selling
shareholders (4,575,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised).

Each
of (i) Frontenac VIII Limited Partnership and Frontenac Masters VIII Limited Partnership,
(ii) BVCF IV, L.P., and (iii) C&B Capital, L.P. has agreed to convert all shares of
Series A convertible, redeemable preferred stock (the Series A Preferred
Stock) that it holds following the completion of the offering if it sells shares of
common stock in the offering representing at least 60% of its current holdings of the
Series A Preferred Stock. SunTrust Equity Funding, LLC has agreed to convert all shares of
Series A Preferred stock that it will hold following the completion of the offering if it
sells at least 125,403 shares of common stock in the offering. The obligations of BVCF IV,
L.P., C&B Capital, L.P. and SunTrust Equity Funding, LLC to convert their shares is
contingent on the conversion by Frontenac VIII Limited Partnership and Frontenac Masters VIII Limited Partnership
 of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The outstanding shares
of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 5,514,705 shares of the
Companys common stock, which includes 3,535,000 shares being offered by the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock in the offering as selling shareholders (4,360,000 shares
if the over-allotment option is exercised.). Other selling shareholders (which include
directors and officers of the Company) will offer 215,000 shares in the offering.

On
March 26, 2004, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A.
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 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 March 31, 2004; plus
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

26


---

| |  | as
of the end of each quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2004, an
amount equal to 75% of the Companys consolidated net income for the quarter then
ended; plus
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 100%
of the proceeds of all issuances of the Company's capital stock after March 26, 2004;
less
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | the
amount of Series A Preferred Stock repurchased by the Company;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 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
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 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.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 our 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 intends to use approximately $20.0 million of the
net proceeds from its proposed 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 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 three months of 2004 were
salaries, wages and payroll taxes of client employees of $883.9 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
March 31, 2004, the Company had $140.1 million in total cash and cash equivalents,
certificates of deposits and marketable securities, of which $32.3 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
March 31, 2004, the Company had pledged $107.8 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 an escrow account as contingent consideration related to the
EPIX acquisition, as follows:

The amount of collateral required to
be provided to BCBS is expected to 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.

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

# Operating Cash Flow

At
March 31, 2004, the Company had net working capital of $45.3 million, including restricted
funds classified as short-term of $89.5 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.

Net
cash provided by operating activities was $6.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2004 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2003, representing an increase of $5.2 million. The overall
increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the
increase in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003
 and other net changes in working capital
items, including accounts receivable, workers' compensation receivable, accrued payroll and payroll taxes, and
customer deposits and prepayments.

# Cash Flow from
Investing Activities

Cash
used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $39.0 million,
primarily relates to the funds used for the EPIX acquisition ($35.0 million, including
direct acquisition costs of $1.5 million and excluding contingent purchase price of $2.5
million held in escrow) and the release of $2.3 million of escrow to TeamStaff related to
the settlement of the TeamStaff acquisition contingent purchase price.

# Cash Flow from
Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of
$19.9 million was primarily a result of the borrowing under the Bank of America, N.A.
credit agreement of $20.0 million related to the EPIX acquisition.

The
Company received approximately $1.2 million from directors, officers and employees of the
Company upon the exercise of 224,453 stock options and the purchase of 18,379 shares of
common stock under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The
Company paid dividends to the common and preferred shareholders of approximately $1.3
million during the first quarter 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 collateral with respect to its workers compensation insurance provided by the
member insurance companies of AIG for the 2003 and 2004 workers compensation
program, which has been invested in money market funds. If interest rates decrease, the
interest income with respect to these investments would be reduced. The Company is also
subject to market risk from exposures to changes in interest rates related to insurance
premiums paid to CNA under its workers compensation programs for the policy years
2000 through 2002. The insurance premiums paid to CNA are invested in cash and cash
equivalents, government and corporate issued securities and mortgage and asset-backed
securities. In the event interest rates decrease, the returns on insurance premiums will
be reduced and as a result the Company may be required to make additional premium payments
to CNA. The insurance premiums paid to AIG under its workers compensation incurance
program earn a fixed rate of return and are not subject to market risk from changes in
interest rates. 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.

# PART II.       OTHER
INFORMATION

# ITEM 1.       Legal Proceedings

On
August 12, 2003, a former employee filed a lawsuit against the Company (Donald
Lauderback vs. Gevity HR, Inc., d/b/a Gevity HR Healthcare Plan) in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiff sought monetary damages based on his
claim that the Company wrongfully terminated him after approximately two weeks of
employment, for raising concerns related to the operation of the Companys health
insurance programs. He also sought monetary damages for a purported class of individuals
based on the manner in which the Company operated its health insurance programs. On
February 27, 2004, the Court granted the Companys Motion to Dismiss All Claims and
on March 1, 2004, entered Final Judgment in which all of Plaintiffs claims were
dismissed with prejudice.

The
Company is a party to certain other 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.
