1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. | ||
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of CBIZ, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (CBIZ) as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Due to seasonality, potential changes in economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors, the results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CBIZs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. | ||
Organization | ||
CBIZ is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, provides professional business services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and Canada. CBIZ delivers its integrated services through the following four practice groups: |
| Financial Services | ||
| Employee Services | ||
| Medical Management Professionals (MMP) | ||
| National Practices |
See Note 14 for further information regarding CBIZs practice groups. | ||
Principles of Consolidation | ||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of CBIZ and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. See further discussion under Variable Interest Entities. | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Managements estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimates of collectibility of accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, the realizability of goodwill and other intangible assets, the fair value of certain assets, the valuation of stock options in determining compensation expense, estimates of accrued liabilities (such as incentive compensation, self-insurance reserves and legal reserves), income taxes and other factors. Managements estimates and assumptions are derived from and are continually evaluated based upon available information, judgment and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain amounts in the 2007 consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation to reflect the impact of discontinued operations. |
6
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues | ||
Revenue is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our fee to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria are in accordance with GAAP and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104 Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). | ||
Contract terms are typically contained in a signed agreement with our clients (or when applicable, other third parties) which generally define the scope of services to be provided, pricing of services, and payment terms generally ranging from invoice date to 90 days after invoice date. Billing may occur prior to, during, or upon completion of the service. We typically do not have acceptance provisions or right of refund arrangements included in these agreements. Contract terms vary depending on the scope of service provided, deliverables, and complexity of the engagement. | ||
Certain of our client arrangements encompass multiple deliverables. CBIZ accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If the deliverables meet the criteria in EITF 00-21, the deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting and revenue is allocated to the deliverables based on their relative fair values. Revenue for each unit is recognized separately in accordance with CBIZs revenue recognition policy for each unit. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting, revenue from all deliverables are treated as one accounting unit and evaluated for appropriate accounting treatment based upon the underlying facts and circumstances. | ||
CBIZ offers a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services are delivered through four practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those groups, is provided below. | ||
Financial Services Revenue primarily consists of fees for services rendered to our clients for accounting services, preparation of tax returns, consulting services, compliance projects, services pursuant to administrative service agreements (described under Variable Interest Entities), and valuation services including fairness opinions, business plans, litigation support, purchase price allocations and derivative valuations. Clients are billed for these services based upon a time and expense model, a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee, or as a percentage of savings. Revenue recognition as it pertains to each of these arrangements is as follows: |
| Time and Expense Arrangements Revenue is recognized based upon actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses. The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in which the change becomes known. | ||
| Fixed Fee Arrangements Revenue for fixed-fee arrangements is recognized over the performance period based upon progress towards completion, which is determined based upon actual hours incurred on the client project compared to estimated total hours to complete the client project. | ||
| Contingent Revenue Arrangements Revenue is recognized when savings to the client is determined, collection is reasonably assured and all contingencies have been satisfied. |
Employee Services Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions, fee income for administering health and retirement plans and payroll service fees. Revenue also includes investment income related to client payroll funds that are held in CBIZ accounts, as is industry practice. A description of the revenue recognition, based on the service provided, insurance product sold, and billing arrangement, is provided below. |
7
| Commissions Revenue Commissions relating to brokerage and agency activities whereby CBIZ has primary responsibility for the collection of premiums from insureds (agency or indirect billing) are recognized as of the latter of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date billed to the customer; commissions to be received directly from insurance companies (direct billing) are recognized when the data necessary from the carriers to properly record revenue becomes available; and life insurance commissions are recognized when the policy becomes effective (i.e. the insured is afforded protection under the policy). Commission revenue is reported net of sub-broker commissions, and reserves for estimated policy cancellations and terminations. The cancellation and termination reserve is based upon estimates and assumptions using historical cancellation and termination experience and other current factors to project future experience. CBIZ periodically reviews the adequacy of the reserve and makes adjustments as necessary. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different results. | ||
Commissions which are based upon certain performance targets are recognized at the earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved, or cash collection. | |||
| Fee income Fee income is recognized in the period in which services are provided, and may be based on predetermined agreed-upon fixed fees, actual hours incurred on an hourly fee basis, or asset-based fees. Revenue for fixed-fee arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period, as these services are provided to clients continuously throughout the term of the arrangement. Revenue which is based upon actual hours incurred is recognized as services are performed. | ||
Revenue for asset-based fees is recognized when the data necessary to compute revenue is determinable, which is typically when either, market valuation information is available, the data necessary to compute our fees is made available by third party administrators or when cash is received. CBIZ only recognizes revenue when cash is received for those arrangements where the data necessary to compute our fees is not available to the Company in a timely manner. | |||
| Payroll Revenue related to payroll processing fees is recognized when the actual payroll processing occurs. Revenue related to investment income earned on payroll funds is based upon actual amounts earned on those funds, is recognized in the period that the income is earned, and was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
Medical Management Professionals Revenue is primarily related to fees charged to clients for billing, collection and full-practice management services, which are charged to clients based upon a percentage of net collections on our clients patient accounts or a fee per transaction processed. Revenue also relates to fees charged to clients for statement mailing services. The revenue recognition as it pertains to each of these arrangements is as follows: |
| Fee income For those arrangements where fees to clients are determined based upon a percentage of net collections, revenue is determinable, earned and recognized when payments are received by our clients on their patient accounts. For those arrangements where clients are charged a fee for each transaction processed, revenue is recognized proportionately over a predetermined service period. | ||
| Statement mailing services Revenues for statement mailing services are recognized when statements are processed and mailed. |
National Practices The business units that comprise this practice group offer a variety of services. A description of revenue recognition associated with the primary services is provided below. | ||
Technology Consulting Revenue consists of consulting services and sales of hardware, software and service agreement contracts and is recognized as follows: |
8
| Consulting Services Consulting services primarily relate to the maintenance and repair of hardware. These services are charged to customers based upon time and material, cost-plus an agreed-upon markup percentage, or a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee. Revenue related to consulting services is recognized as services are performed or upon acceptance by the client, depending on the client contract terms. | ||
| Service Agreement Contracts Revenue associated with service agreement contracts is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the agreement. | ||
| Hardware Revenue associated with hardware sales is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the product. | ||
| Software, Post Contract Support and Installation Services CBIZ is a re-seller of software and post contract support (PCS) that is provided by software vendors. CBIZ also provides installation and implementation services that do not involve significant production or modification of software. Revenue related to software, PCS and installation services is recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2. | ||
CBIZ sells installation and implementation services and PCS on a stand-alone basis. Software is typically sold with installation and implementation services. Revenue is allocated to each element based upon vendor specific objective evidence of fair value which is commensurate with prices charged to the customers for these items. Revenue related to the sale of software and PCS is recognized upon delivery, and installation and implementation service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. |
Health Care Consulting Clients are billed for health care consulting services based upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee, time and expense, or as a percentage of savings. Revenue for fixed fee and time and expense arrangements is recognized over the performance period based upon actual hours incurred, and revenue that is contingent upon savings is recognized after contingencies have been resolved and verified by a third party. | ||
Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Advisory Clients are billed monthly for non-refundable retainer fees, or upon the completion of a transaction (success fees). Revenue associated with non-refundable retainer fees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the engagement, as services are performed throughout the term of the contract period of the arrangement. Revenue associated with success fee transactions is recognized when the transaction is completed. | ||
Operating Expenses | ||
Operating expenses represent costs incurred to operate our business units and are primarily comprised of personnel costs and occupancy related expenses. Personnel costs include base compensation, commissions, payroll taxes, income or losses earned on assets of the deferred compensation plan, and benefits, which are recognized as expense as they are incurred. Personnel costs also include stock-based and incentive compensation costs, which are estimated and accrued on a monthly basis. The ultimate determination of incentive compensation is made after year-end results are finalized. Total personnel costs were $116.6 million and $106.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. | ||
The largest components of occupancy costs are rent expense and utilities. Base rent expense is recognized over respective lease terms, while utilities and common area maintenance charges are recognized as incurred. Total occupancy costs were $10.0 million and $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
9
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||
CBIZ carries accounts receivable at their face amount less allowances for doubtful accounts, and carries unbilled revenues at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectibility of receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the overall collectibility of receivables, CBIZ analyzes historical bad debts, client credit-worthiness, the age of accounts receivable and current economic trends and conditions. | ||
Funds Held for Clients and Client Fund Obligations | ||
Services provided by CBIZ include the preparation of payroll checks, federal, state, and local payroll tax returns, and flexible spending account administration. In relation to these services, CBIZ collects funds from its clients accounts in advance of paying these client obligations. Funds that are collected before they are due are segregated and reported separately as Funds held for clients in the consolidated balance sheets. Other than certain federal and state regulations pertaining to flexible spending account administration, there are no regulatory or other contractual restrictions placed on these funds. | ||
Funds held for clients are reported as current and non-current assets, as appropriate, based upon characteristics of the underlying investments, and client fund obligations are reported as current liabilities. If the par value of investments held do not approximate fair value, the balance in Funds held for clients may not be equal to the balance in Client fund obligations. The amount of collected but not yet remitted funds may vary significantly during the year. | ||
Funds held for clients include cash, overnight investments and Auction Rate Securities (ARS). ARS are classified as available for sale securities in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS No. 115). See Note 7 for further discussion of ARS. | ||
Variable Interest Entities | ||
In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), as amended, CBIZ has determined that its relationship with certain Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms with whom we maintain administrative service agreements (ASAs) qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect the consolidation of the variable interest entities, as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. | ||
The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements may operate as limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with separate governing bodies and officers. CBIZ has no ownership interest in any of these CPA firms, and neither the existence of the ASAs nor the providing of services thereunder is intended to constitute control of the CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA firms maintain their own respective liability and risk of loss in connection with performance of each of their respective services, and CBIZ does not believe that its arrangements with these CPA firms result in additional risk of loss. | ||
Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue (at net realizable value) in the consolidated statements of operations. In the event that accounts receivable and unbilled work in process become uncollectible by the CPA firms, the service fee due to CBIZ is reduced on a pro rata basis. Although the administrative service agreements do not constitute control, CBIZ is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear certain economic risks. | ||
Earnings Per Share | ||
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted average diluted shares. Weighted average diluted shares are determined using the |
10
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of potential future issues of common stock relating to CBIZs stock award programs, CBIZs convertible senior subordinated notes and other potentially dilutive securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock awards is computed using the average market price for the period, in accordance with the treasury stock method. | ||
As further described in Note 5, CBIZs convertible senior subordinated notes (Notes) may result in future issuances of CBIZ common stock. Under the net share settlement method, potential shares issuable under the Notes will be considered dilutive, and will be included in the calculation of weighted average diluted shares, if the Companys market price per share exceeds the $10.63 conversion price of the Notes. As of March 31, 2008, the Companys market price per share had not exceeded the conversion price of the Notes. | ||
New Accounting Pronouncements | ||
Effective January 1, 2008, CBIZ adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities, this statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007 and does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather expands the disclosure of fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 which delayed the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157 to fiscal years ending after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Accordingly, CBIZ did not apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets that are measured for impairment testing purposes. See Note 8 for further discussion of the adoption of SFAS No. 157. | ||
Effective January 1, 2008, CBIZ adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its existing financial instruments as of March 31, 2008 and the Company has not determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future. | ||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer, a) recognizes and measures the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired, and c) determines what information to disclose. SFAS No. 141R also requires that all acquisition-related costs, including restructuring, be recognized separately from the acquisition, and that changes in acquired tax contingencies, including those existing at the date of adoption, be recognized in earnings if outside the maximum allocation period (generally one year). SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 141R on the consolidated financial statements. | ||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS 160 establishes requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company (sometimes called minority interests) be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parents equity.

value. This statement is effective for CBIZ beginning January 1, 2009. CBIZ is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements. | ||
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161) as an amendment to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. SFAS No. 161 is effective for CBIZ beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements. | ||
On May 9, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt that may be settled wholly or partly in cash when converted to account for the debt and equity components separately. FSP APB 14-1 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. This standard will have an impact on the Companys financial statements, however, the Company has not yet determined the amount of the impact. | ||

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes | ||
CBIZ had $100.0 million of convertible senior subordinated notes (Notes) outstanding at March 31, 2008. The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of CBIZ and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of CBIZs existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture dated as of May 30, 2006, with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee. The Notes and Indenture are further described in CBIZs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. | ||
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.125% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1. The Notes mature on June 1, 2026 and may be redeemed by CBIZ in whole or in part anytime after June 6, 2011. The Notes are convertible into CBIZ common stock at a rate equal to 94.1035 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.63 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, CBIZ will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 or the conversion value (as defined in the Indenture) and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds $1,000, at CBIZs election, cash or shares of CBIZ common stock in respect of the remainder. | ||
Bank Debt | ||
CBIZ maintains an unsecured credit facility (facility) with Bank of America as agent bank for a group of five participating banks. CBIZ had $75.0 million and $30.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Rates for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 were as follows: |
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Weighted average rates |
5.49 | % | 7.05 | % | ||||
Range of effective rates |
3.99% - 7.25 | % | 6.09% - 8.25 | % | ||||
CBIZ had approximately $14.9 million of available funds under the facility at March 31, 2008. Available funds under the facility are reduced by letters of credit and obligations determined to be other indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the facility. The facility expires November 2012 and was amended effective April 3, 2008 to increase the commitment from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. | ||
The credit facility provides CBIZ operating flexibility and funding to support seasonal working capital needs and other strategic initiatives such as acquisitions and share repurchases. Under the facility, loans are charged an interest rate consisting of a base rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the facility. |
13
The facility is subject to certain financial covenants that may limit CBIZs ability to borrow up to the total commitment amount. Covenants require CBIZ to meet certain requirements with respect to (i) minimum net worth; (ii) maximum leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The facility also places restrictions on CBIZs ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to make certain payments, investments, loans and guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. According to the terms of the facility, CBIZ is not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other than dividend payments made by one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to the parent company. The facility contains a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the facility may be terminated. | ||
There are no limitations on CBIZs ability to acquire businesses or repurchase CBIZ common stock provided that the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.0. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as total debt (excluding the convertible senior subordinated notes) compared to EBITDA as defined by the facility. | ||
6. | Commitments and Contingencies | |
Acquisitions | ||
The purchase price that CBIZ pays for businesses and client lists generally consist of two components: an up-front non-contingent portion, and a portion which is contingent upon the acquired businesses or client lists actual future performance. Non-contingent purchase price is recorded at the date of acquisition and contingent purchase price is recorded as it is earned. Shares of CBIZ common stock that are issued in connection with acquisitions may be contractually restricted from sale for periods up to two years. Acquisitions are further discussed in Note 12. | ||
Indemnifications | ||
CBIZ has various agreements in which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by CBIZ under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are typically subject to challenge by CBIZ and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, CBIZs obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, CBIZ may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by CBIZ. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of CBIZs obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2008, CBIZ was not aware of any material obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require payments. | ||
Employment Agreements | ||
CBIZ maintains severance and employment agreements with certain of its executive officers, whereby such officers may be entitled to payment in the event of termination of their employment. CBIZ also has arrangements with certain non-executive employees which may include severance and other employment provisions. CBIZ accrues for amounts payable under these contracts and arrangements as triggering events occur and obligations become known. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, payments regarding such contracts and arrangements were not material. | ||
Letters of Credit and Guarantees | ||
CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits which totaled $3.7 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. In addition, CBIZ |
14
provides license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $1.4 million. | ||
CBIZ acted as guarantor on various letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an affiliation, which totaled $1.4 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, as amended, CBIZ has recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees, which is recorded as other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management does not expect any material changes to result from these instruments as performance under the guarantees is not expected to be required. | ||
Self-Funded Health Insurance | ||
Effective January 1, 2008, CBIZ converted its comprehensive health benefit plan from a fully-insured plan to a self-funded program. Total expenses under this program are limited by stop-loss coverages on individually large claims as well as an overall aggregate amount of claims. A third party administrator processes claims and payments, but does not assume liability for benefits payable under this plan. CBIZ assumes responsibility for funding the plan benefits out of general assets, however, employees contribute to the costs of covered benefits through premium charges, deductibles and co-pays. | ||
The Companys policy is to accrue a liability for both known claims and for estimated claims that have been incurred but not reported, as of each reporting date. The third party administrator provides the Company with reports and other information which provides a basis for the estimate of the liability at the end of each reporting period. Although management believes that it uses the best available information to determine the amount of the liability, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments and net earnings being affected if circumstances differ from the assumptions used in estimating the liability. CBIZs net healthcare costs include health claims expenses, premiums for the stop-loss coverages described above and administration fees to the third-party administrator. | ||
Legal Proceedings | ||
CBIZ is from time to time subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. | ||
7. | Financial Instruments | |
Auction Rate Securities | ||
At December 31, 2007, the fair value of our investments in ARS approximated face value and totaled $22.5 million. These ARS were recorded as Funds held for clients current in the consolidated balance sheets. There were no impairment charges recorded for our investments in ARS during the year ended December 31, 2007. | ||
As a result of recent liquidity issues experienced in the credit and capital markets, CBIZs ARS have experienced failed auctions during the first quarter of 2008 and one of the investments was downgraded below the minimum rating required by the Companys investment policy. While CBIZ continues to earn and receive interest on these investments at the contractual rates, the estimated fair value of our investments in ARS no longer approximates their face value. | ||
At March 31, 2008, the face value of ARS held by CBIZ totaled $23.4 million, of which $2.0 million was redeemed by the issuer in April 2008. On March 31, 2008, CBIZ reduced the carrying amount of the remaining ARS by $2.1 million, to $19.3 million. CBIZ determined this decline in fair market value to be |
15
temporary, and recorded the decline as an unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The impact to accumulated other comprehensive loss was $1.2 million, net of income taxes. | ||
CBIZ reclassified $19.3 million of the ARS with maturity dates beyond March 31, 2009 from current assets (Funds held for clients current) to non-current assets (Funds held for clients non-current), as CBIZ intends to hold these investments until anticipated recovery in value occurs. | ||
Interest Rate Swap | ||
In December 2007, effective January 3, 2008, CBIZ entered into a two-year, zero-cost interest rate swap (swap) for the purpose of managing cash flow and interest rate variability on a portion of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility. CBIZ does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. | ||
Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, CBIZ pays interest at a fixed rate of 3.9% plus applicable margin under the credit agreement, and receives interest payments that are variable with one-month LIBOR. Interest is calculated by reference to the $10.0 million notional amount of the swap and payments are exchanged each month. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, CBIZ recorded additional interest expense of approximately $6,000 related to the swap agreement. | ||
CBIZ has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge and accounts for this swap in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133) and related amendments and interpretations. Accordingly, the interest rate swap is recorded as either an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity, net of tax, to the extent the swap is effective. Amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to interest expense as interest on the hedged borrowings is recognized. Net amounts due related to the swap are recorded as adjustments to interest expense when earned or payable. Any ineffective portion of the swap is recorded to interest expense. | ||
The fair value of the swap is included in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and was $0.3 million at March 31, 2008. Fair value represents the amount that CBIZ would have to pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. Over the next 12 months, CBIZ expects to reclassify approximately $0.1 million of deferred losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as related interest payments that are being hedged are recognized. | ||
At its inception, the critical terms of the swap matched the underlying risks being hedged, and as such the swap is expected to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. The swap is assessed for effectiveness and continued qualification for hedge accounting on a quarterly basis, and there was no ineffectiveness for the first quarter of 2008. If the swap were to be de-designated as a hedge, it would be accounted for as a financial instrument used for trading. | ||
8. | Fair Value Measurements | |
As discussed in Note 1, SFAS No. 157 was adopted for measuring and reporting financial assets and liabilities in the Companys financial statements beginning January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: |
| Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
16
| Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | ||
| Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and are significant to the fair value measurement. |
A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following table summarizes CBIZs assets and liabilities at March 31, 2008 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value (in thousands): |

Ending balance |
$ | 19,338 | $ | (294 | ) | |||
Due to the liquidity issues described in Note 7 and because quoted prices from broker-dealers were unavailable for CBIZs ARS, the majority of the investments in ARS were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the first quarter of 2008. Accordingly, a fair value assessment of these securities was performed in accordance with SFAS No. 157. The assessment was performed on each security based on a discounted cash flow model utilizing various assumptions that included maximum interest rates for each issue, probabilities of successful auctions, failed auctions or default, the timing of cash flows, the quality and level of collateral of the securities, and the rate of recovery from bond insurers in the event of default. This fair value analysis resulted in a value of 90.3% of face value resulting in a $2.1 million temporary impairment. | ||
CBIZ has determined that the impairment is temporary due to the recent dislocation in the credit markets, the quality of the investments and their underlying collateral, and the probability of a passed auction or redemption in the future, considering the issuers ability to refinance if necessary. In addition, CBIZ has sufficient liquidity in its client fund assets to fund client obligations and the Company |
17
does not anticipate that the current lack of liquidity of these investments will affect its ability to conduct business. Therefore, CBIZ has the ability and intent to hold the ARS until anticipated recovery in value occurs. The decline in fair value has been recorded as an unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes. | ||
9. | Other Comprehensive Income | |
Other comprehensive income is reflected as an increase to shareholders equity and is not reflected in our results of operations. Other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, net of tax, was as follows (in thousands): |

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was approximately $1.6 million and $0.1 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of adjustments, net of tax, to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and the interest rate swap, and foreign currency translation. | ||
10. | Employer Share Plans | |
CBIZ has granted various stock-based awards under its 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan and 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, which are described in further detail in CBIZs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The terms and vesting schedules for stock-based awards vary by type and date of grant.

12. | Acquisitions | |
During the first quarter of 2008, CBIZ acquired a payroll business and an insurance agency, both of which are reported in the Employee Services practice group. The payroll business is located in Palm Desert, California and provides payroll processing services to a large number of clients primarily in California and Arizona. The insurance business is located in Frederick, Maryland and is a broker of |
19
innkeepers insurance programs. In addition, CBIZ acquired a client list during the first quarter of 2008 which is reported in the Financial Services practice group. Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $7.1 million in cash paid at closing, and up to an additional $6.0 million in cash which is contingent upon future financial performance of the acquired businesses and client list. In addition, CBIZ paid approximately $9.2 million in cash and issued approximately 183,800 shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2008 as contingent proceeds for previous acquisitions. | ||
During the first quarter of 2007, CBIZ acquired an accounting firm and three client lists. The accounting firm is located in Phoenix, Arizona and is reported in the Financial Services practice group. Two client lists are reported in the Employee Services practice group and the third is reported in the Financial Services practice group. Aggregate consideration for the acquisitions consisted of approximately $0.7 million in cash paid at closing, and up to an additional $1.4 million in cash which is contingent on certain future revenue and earnings targets. In addition, CBIZ paid approximately $6.8 million in cash and issued approximately 21,800 shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2007, as contingent proceeds for previous acquisitions. | ||
The operating results of these businesses are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition. Client lists and non-compete agreements are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, (including client lists and non-compete agreements) are allocated to goodwill. | ||
Additions to goodwill, client lists and other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and contingent consideration earned during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands): |
2008 | 2007 | |||||||

13. | Discontinued Operations and Divestitures | |
From time to time, CBIZ divests (through sale or closure) business operations that do not contribute to the Companys long-term objectives for growth, or that are not complementary to its target service offerings and markets. Divestitures are classified as discontinued operations provided they meet the criteria as provided in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and EITF No. 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations. | ||
Discontinued Operations | ||
Gains or losses from the sale of discontinued operations are recorded as gain (loss) on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, proceeds that are contingent upon a divested operations actual future performance are recorded as gain on sale of discontinued operations in the period they are earned. | ||
During the first quarter of 2008, CBIZ sold an operation from the Financial Services practice group. Proceeds from this sale consisted of approximately $1.5 million in cash and resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.1 million. In addition, CBIZ committed to the closure of a business operation in the National Practices group and recorded an estimated loss of $0.3 million related to the closure of that operation. |
20
During the first quarter of 2007, CBIZ sold an operation from the Financial Services practice group for proceeds that consisted of $0.6 million cash and $0.6 million in notes receivable, and resulted in a net loss of $0.2 million. CBIZ also received a $1.5 million payment during the first quarter of 2007 related to contingent proceeds for an Employee Services operation that was sold during 2005. Contingent proceeds were recognized as Gain (loss) on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax in previous periods. | ||
For those businesses that qualified for treatment as discontinued operations, the assets, liabilities and results of operations are reported separately in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Revenue and results from operations of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands): |

CBIZ sold certain assets and client lists in prior periods which did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations. The gain on sale of certain client lists has been deferred and the deferred gains are recorded as other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The gain on these sales is being recorded as Gain on sale of operations, net as cash payments are received. Additionally, CBIZ may earn additional proceeds on the sale of certain client lists (sold in previous years), which are contingent upon future revenue generated by the client lists. CBIZ records these proceeds as other income when they are earned. | ||
14. | Segment Disclosures | |
CBIZs business units have been aggregated into four practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services, Medical Management Professionals (MMP), and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. | ||
A general description of services provided by practice group, is provided in the table below. |

Corporate and Other. Included in Corporate and Other are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of certain compensation costs (including incentive compensation, stock compensation, and adjustments to the fair value of the investments held in the deferred compensation plan), infrastructure costs and consolidation and integration charges. | ||
Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Upon consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated; thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income excluding the costs of certain infrastructure functions (such as information systems, finance and accounting, human resources, legal and marketing), which are reported in the Corporate and Other segment. |
