PART I
Overview
CBIZ is a diversified services company which, acting through its
subsidiaries, provides professional business services to
businesses of various sizes, as well as individuals,
governmental entities and not-for-profit enterprises throughout
the United States and Toronto, Canada. CBIZ provides solutions
that enable our clients to better manage their finances,
employees and technology. CBIZ delivers its integrated services
through the following three practice groups: Accounting, Tax and
Advisory, Benefits and Insurance, and National Practices which
includes CBIZ Medical Management Professionals.
CBIZs mission is:
|
|
|
|
|
to enable our clients to grow and prosper by providing them with
superior services and products; |
|
|
|
to provide a professionally rewarding career for our
employees; and |
|
|
|
to create shareholder value. |
CBIZ built its professional services business through acquiring
accounting, benefits, technology, valuation and other service
firms throughout the United States. CBIZs growth strategy
consists of three major components: internal growth,
successfully cross-serving current clients, and acquisitions.
During 2005, CBIZ acquired three businesses that enhance our
investment advisory, valuation and accounting, tax, and advisory
services. Our intention is to continue to selectively acquire
businesses with complementary service offerings in our target
markets.
History
CBIZ was incorporated in Delaware in 1987. On December 23,
1997, CBIZ changed its name to Century Business Services,
Inc. and began trading under the symbol CBIZ.
Effective August 1, 2005, after approval by our Board of
Directors and shareholders, CBIZ changed its corporate name from
Century Business Services, Inc. to CBIZ,
Inc. CBIZ believes that this name change is integral to
promoting greater name recognition in the marketplace, and to
reinforcing our image as a unified provider of professional
business services.
Business Strategy
CBIZs business strategy is to grow in the professional
business services industry by:
|
|
|
|
|
offering a wide array of professional business services; |
|
|
|
cross-serving these services to our existing client base; |
|
|
|
attracting new clients with our diverse business services
offerings; and |
3
|
|
|
|
|
developing our core service offerings in target markets through
internal growth and selective acquisitions. |
Providing a range of business services to a client results in
advantages for both the client and for CBIZ. Working with one
provider for several tasks saves the client the time of having
to coordinate with multiple vendors. For example, the employee
data used to process payroll can also be used by a CBIZ health
and welfare insurance agent and benefits consultant to provide
an appropriate benefits package to a clients employee
base. In addition, the relationship our accounting and tax
advisors have with their clients allows us to identify financial
planning, wealth management, and other business opportunities.
The ability to combine several services and offer them through
one trusted provider distinguishes CBIZ from other service
providers.
CBIZ is looking to strengthen our operations and customer
service capabilities by making selective acquisitions that are
complementary in building out our service offerings in target
markets. CBIZs strategy is to acquire companies that
generally:
|
|
|
|
|
have a strong potential for cross-serving to CBIZs clients; |
|
|
|
can integrate quickly with existing CBIZ operations; |
|
|
|
have strong and energetic leadership; |
|
|
|
are accretive to earnings; and |
|
|
|
help enhance the core CBIZ service offering in a geographical
market. |
In accordance with our strategy to deliver services to clients
locally and to promote cross-serving between our various service
groups, CBIZ consolidates office locations wherever practical.
Since 2001, CBIZ consolidated offices in Atlanta, Boca Raton,
Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, Orlando, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City,
San Diego, San Jose, St. Louis and Tucson. CBIZ
may consolidate additional offices locations in the future, and
thus may incur additional costs associated with such
consolidations.
Business Services
The following is a description of the business services
currently offered by CBIZ.
Accounting, Tax and Advisory. The business units
that comprise CBIZs Accounting, Tax and Advisory
(ATA) group offer services in the following areas: federal,
state and local tax return preparation, planning and consulting
for individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates and trusts;
strategic planning; consulting; record-keeping and financial
statement preparation; tax planning based on financial and
investment alternatives; tax structuring of business
transactions such as mergers and acquisitions; quarterly and
year-end payroll tax reporting; financial staffing services
including chief financial officer services; financial investment
analysis; succession, retirement, and estate planning; cash flow
management; profitability, operational and efficiency
enhancement consulting to a number of specialized industries;
litigation support services; internal audit services; and
Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services.
Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and state
accountancy laws and regulations preclude CBIZ from rendering
audit and attest services (other than internal audit services).
As such, CBIZ and its subsidiaries maintain joint-referral
relationships and administrative service agreements (ASAs) with
independent licensed Certified Public Accounting
(CPA) firms under which audit and attest services may be
provided to CBIZs clients by such CPA firms. These firms
are owned by licensed CPAs, a vast majority of whom are also
employed by CBIZ subsidiaries.
Under these ASAs, CBIZ provides a range of services to the CPA
firms, including (but not limited to): administrative functions
such as office management, bookkeeping, and accounting;
preparing marketing and promotion materials; providing office
space, computer equipment, and systems support; and leasing
administrative and professional staff. Services are performed in
exchange for a fee. Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are
recorded as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations and amounted to approximately $69.0 million,
$46.3 million, and $39.8 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, a majority
of which is related to services rendered to privately-held
clients. 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. The ASAs
typically have terms ranging up to ten years, and are renewable
upon agreement by both parties.
With respect to CPA firm clients that are required to file
audited financial statements with the SEC, the SEC staff views
CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we have contractual
relationships as a single entity in applying
4
independence rules established by the accountancy regulators and
the SEC. Accordingly, we do not hold any financial interest in
an SEC-reporting attest client of an associated CPA firm, enter
into any business relationship with an SEC-reporting attest
client that the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain,
or sell any non-audit services to an SEC-reporting attest client
that the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain, under
the auditor independence limitations set out in the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other professional accountancy
independence standards. Applicable professional standards
generally permit the ATA practice group to provide additional
services to privately-held companies, in addition to those
services which may be provided to SEC-reporting attest clients
of an associated CPA firm. CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we
are associated have implemented policies and procedures designed
to enable us to maintain independence and freedom from conflicts
of interest in accordance with applicable standards. Given the
pre-existing limits set by CBIZ on its relationships with
SEC-reporting attest clients of associated CPA firms, and the
limited number and size of such clients, the imposition of
Sarbanes-Oxley Act independence limitations did not and is not
expected to materially affect CBIZ revenues.
The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs operate as limited
liability companies, limited liability partnerships or
professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities
with separate governing bodies and officers. 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 its respective
services. Attest services can not be performed by any individual
or entity which is not licensed to do so. CBIZ can not perform
audits or reviews, does not contract to perform them and does
not provide audit or review reports. Given this legal
prohibition and course of conduct, CBIZ does not believe it is
likely that we would bear the risk of litigation losses related
to attest services provided by the CPA firms.
At December 31, 2005, CBIZ maintained administrative
service agreements with 9 CPA firms, which has decreased from 41
CPA firms during 2002. Most of the members and/or shareholders
of the CPA firms are also CBIZ employees, and CBIZ renders
services to the CPA firms as an independent contractor. The
number of firms with which CBIZ maintains administrative service
agreements decreased when a majority of the partners of the CPA
firms with whom we previously maintained ASAs joined Mayer
Hoffman McCann, P.C. (MHM P.C.) an independent national CPA
firm headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas. MHM P.C. has
approximately 200 shareholders, a vast majority of whom are also
employees of CBIZ. MHM maintains a seven member Board of
Directors. There are no board members of MHM P.C. who hold
senior officer positions at CBIZ. CBIZs association with
MHM P.C. offers clients access to the multi-state resources and
expertise of a national CPA firm. The advantage to CBIZ of these
consolidations is a reduction in the number of different firms
with which we maintain ASAs.
Although the ASAs do not constitute control, CBIZ is one of the
beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear certain economic
risks. As such, the CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains
administrative service agreements qualify as variable interest
entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as
amended. See further discussion in Note 1 of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
CBIZ is also able to offer its clients access to multi-state and
international resources through relationships maintained with
professional organizations such as Kreston International. CBIZ
joined Kreston International in the third quarter of 2005.
Kreston International is an international organization of
affiliated accounting firms that allows CBIZ to access
accounting services in more than 70 countries around the world.
At December 31, 2005, CBIZs ATA practice was divided
into four regions, representing the East, Midwest, Great Lakes,
and West regions of the United States. Each of these regions is
headed by a designated regional director, each of whom report to
the Senior Vice President, Accounting, Tax and Advisory
Services. The Accounting, Tax and Advisory group contributed
$245.5 million of revenue, representing approximately 43.9%
of CBIZs consolidated annual revenue in 2005.
Benefits and Insurance Services. The business
units that comprise CBIZs Benefits and Insurance group are
organized by the following two groups: Retail and National
Services. At December 31, 2005, the Retail group was
divided into three geographical regions representing the East,
Central, and West regions of the United States. Each of the
retail operations provides a broad range of primarily commercial
employee benefit and property and casualty insurance services
within their geographic area. Specific services provided by the
Retail group during 2005 included: consulting and brokerage of
group health and welfare plans (group health, dental, vision,
life and disability programs); the design, implementation and
administration of qualified retirement plans, such as profit-
5
sharing plans (including 401-k plans), defined benefit plans,
and money purchase plans; actuarial services for health and
welfare plans and qualified retirement plans; COBRA and
Section 125 plan administration programs for employees;
communications services to educate employees about their benefit
programs; executive benefits consulting on non-qualified
retirement plans; human capital advisory services; business
continuation plans; and wealth management services, including
registered investment advisory services, investment policy
statements, mutual fund selections, and ongoing mutual fund
monitoring. In addition, the Benefits and Insurance Services
group provides some personal lines brokerage for property and
casualty and individual life and health insurance.
The National Services group is comprised of several specialty
operations that provide unique services on a national scale. At
December 31, 2005, specific services provided by the
National Services group included: brokerage services for
specialty high-risk life insurance and clinical underwriting;
wholesale insurance brokerage services; bank-owned executive
life insurance; and wealth management services, including
registered investment advisory services, investment policy
statements, mutual fund selections, and ongoing mutual fund
monitoring.
CBIZs Benefits and Insurance group also provides an
on-line enrollment service, CBIZSolutions, that in concert with
our payroll services, enables employers and employees of a
client to access information such as health and welfare
benefits, retirement fund balances and payroll information;
enroll for benefit plans; and access certain human resource
documents such as employee handbooks and policies.
CBIZs Benefits and Insurance Services group maintains
relationships with many different insurance carriers. Some of
these carriers have compensation arrangements with CBIZ whereby
some portion of payments due may be contingent upon meeting
certain performance goals, or upon CBIZ providing client
services that would otherwise be provided by the carriers. These
compensation arrangements are provided to CBIZ as a result of
our performance and expertise, and may result in enhancing
CBIZs ability to access certain insurance markets and
services on behalf of CBIZ clients. The aggregate of these
payments received during the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004 was less than 2% of consolidated CBIZ revenue for the
respective periods.
State insurance regulators have conducted inquiries to clarify
the nature of compensation arrangements within the insurance
brokerage industry. To date, CBIZ, along with other major
insurance brokerage companies, has received requests for
information regarding our compensation arrangements related to
these practices from such authorities. In addition to inquiries
from various states insurance departments, CBIZ has
received subpoenas from the New York Attorney General, the
Connecticut Attorney General, and the Ohio Department of
Insurance regarding its insurance brokerage compensation
arrangements. CBIZ is cooperating fully in each inquiry. CBIZ
has discussed the nature of these inquires and compensation
arrangements with each of the major insurance carriers with whom
we have established these arrangements. We believe that our
arrangements are lawful and consistent with industry practice,
and we expect that any changes to compensation arrangements in
the future will have a minimal impact on CBIZ, barring future
regulatory action. Future regulatory action may limit or
eliminate our ability to enhance revenue through all current
compensation arrangements, and may result in a diminution of
future revenue from these sources.
CBIZs Benefits and Insurance Services group operates under
one Senior Vice President, who oversees the three retail regions
and their respective regional directors, as well as each of the
National Services companies. The Benefits and Insurance group
contributed $146.2 million of revenue, representing
approximately 26.1% of CBIZs consolidated annual revenue
in 2005.
National Practices. At December 31, 2005, the
business units that comprised CBIZs National Practices
group offered services in the following areas: payroll
processing and administration; valuation services including
financial valuations, tangible and intangible asset valuations
and litigation support services; mergers and acquisitions
services; health care consulting; government relations; and
information technology consulting, including strategic
technology planning, project management, development, network
design and implementation, software selection and
implementation, and voice over internet protocol consulting and
implementation.
CBIZs wholly-owned subsidiary, CBIZ Medical Management
Professionals (CBIZ MMP), is also managed within the National
Practices group. CBIZ MMP, provides coding and billing as well
as full-practice management services for hospital-based
physicians practicing anesthesiology, pathology, radiology,
emergency medicine, and other areas. CBIZ MMPs billing
services include: billing and accounts receivable management;
claims processing and collection; comprehensive delinquent
claims follow up; compliance programming to meet government
regulations; and comprehensive statistical and operational
reporting. The practice management services provided by CBIZ MMP
include: financial reporting, accounts payable, payroll, and
general ledger processing; design of physician employment, stock
and compensation arrangements; and comprehensive
6
budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis. Additionally,
CBIZ MMP conducts analyses of managed care contracts with a
focus on negotiation strategies, pricing, cost containment and
utilization tracking; reviews and negotiates contracts with
hospitals and other entities; identifies and coordinates
practice merger and integration opportunities; and coordinates
practice expansion efforts.
At December 31, 2005, the business units within the
National Practices group reported to CBIZs President and
Chief Operating Officer. The National Practices group
contributed $167.6 million of revenue, representing
approximately 30.0% of CBIZs annual revenue in 2005.
Included in the results of the National Practices group are
those of CBIZ MMP, which contributed $97.6 million of
revenue, or 17.4% of CBIZs consolidated annual revenue in
2005.
Sales and Marketing
CBIZs branding strategy has historically focused on
providing CBIZ with a consistent image and value proposition
within each of its primary geographic and industry markets. For
2005, CBIZ capitalized on those successful efforts by refining
its message to reinforce the CBIZ Client Centric
model a more intuitive way of taking the wide array
of CBIZ service offerings to market, based on the fundamental
needs of businesses to manage their financial, employee and
technology challenges. These efforts included an evolution of
the CBIZ advertising strategy, focusing on our three primary
service offerings: employee management; financial management;
and technology, as well as the development of a revised web
presence, new collateral materials, and the introduction of
several new direct marketing and
e-marketing vehicles.
The Client Centric model was also used as a basis to begin to
better understand and define each clients unique areas of
need and decision making authority, through the use of our
proprietary database, CNECT. This level of client information
will prove strategically important for revenue generation as it
enhances CBIZs ability to identify the most appropriate
cross-serving opportunities.
Beyond branding, a major marketing initiative was undertaken to
enhance CBIZs targeted marketing capabilities. While it is
CBIZs intent to continue to foster the entrepreneurial
spirit of our offices by allowing each practice area and
locality to execute their local marketing plan, CBIZ has
significantly increased our ability to provide offices with a
host of highly targeted marketing tools, support, and strategies
to better capitalize on market opportunities in selected
industries and practice areas. These tools include print and
radio advertisements, printed material such as brochures and
stationery, and CBIZ-branded merchandise for trade shows and
other client-oriented events. CBIZ continues to be focused on
creating business development tools and programs on a national
level that can be easily customized for use at the local level.
Customers
CBIZ provides professional business services to approximately
80,000 clients. CBIZs clients prefer to focus their
resources on their own operational competencies while utilizing
CBIZ to provide various administrative functions. Reducing
administrative functions allows clients to enhance productivity,
reduce costs and improve service, quality and efficiency by
focusing on their core business. Depending on a clients
size and capabilities, it may choose to utilize some or many of
CBIZs broad array of services.
CBIZs clients come from a large variety of industries and
markets, and no single client individually comprises more than
3.0% of our total consolidated revenue. Edward Jones, a
financial services firm and client of CBIZ Network Solutions for
electronic networking and information services, is our largest
client and contributed approximately 2.6% of CBIZs
consolidated revenue in 2005. Management believes that such
diversity helps insulate CBIZ from a downturn in a particular
industry. Nevertheless, economic conditions among selected
clients and groups of clients may have an impact on the demand
for such services.
Competition
The professional business services industry is highly fragmented
and competitive, with a majority of industry participants, such
as accounting, employee benefits, payroll providers or
professional service organizations, offering only a limited
number of services. Competition is based primarily on customer
relationships, range and quality of services or product
offerings, customer service, timeliness, geographic proximity,
and competitive rates. CBIZ competes with a number of
multi-location regional or national professional services firms
and a large number of relatively small independent firms in
local markets. CBIZs competitors in the professional
business services industry include, but are not limited to,
independent consulting services companies, independent
accounting and tax firms, payroll service providers, independent
insurance brokers and divisions of diversified services
companies.
7
Acquisitions and Divestitures
CBIZ seeks to strengthen its operations and customer service
capabilities by selectively acquiring businesses that are
complementary in building out our service offerings in our
target markets. During 2005, CBIZ acquired three businesses
including a registered investment advisory firm in Cleveland,
Ohio, an accounting and consulting practice in San Diego,
California, and a valuation firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In
addition, CBIZ acquired two client lists which complement our
Accounting, Tax and Advisory and Benefits and Insurance
practices.
In January 2006, CBIZ completed the acquisitions of two
companies: The TriMed Group is located in Flint, Michigan and
provides medical billing services and in-house computer systems
primarily to hospital-based physician practices; and Valley
Global Insurance Brokers is a property and casualty insurance
broker located in San Jose, California.
In 2005, CBIZ sold a business operation from the Benefits and
Insurance practice group and closed an operation from the
Accounting, Tax and Advisory practice group. In addition, CBIZ
committed to the divestiture of a business unit from the
National Practices Other practice group which is
expected to be completed in 2006. These divestitures were made
in an on-going effort to rationalize our business by divesting
of units that were either under-performing, located in secondary
markets, or did not provide the level of synergistic
cross-serving opportunities with other CBIZ businesses that is
desired. These divestitures are consistent with CBIZs plan
to focus on metropolitan markets in which we can strengthen our
core service offerings. In the future, CBIZ may from time to
time divest of additional business operations and thus may
recognize additional gains and/or losses on divestitures.
Regulation
CBIZs operations are subject to regulations by federal,
state, and local governing bodies. Accordingly, our business
services may be impacted by legislative changes by these bodies,
particularly with respect to provisions relating to payroll,
benefits administration and insurance services, pension plan
administration, tax and accounting. CBIZ remains abreast of
regulatory changes affecting our business, as these changes
often affect clients activities with respect to
employment, taxation, benefits, and accounting. For instance,
changes in income, estate, or property tax laws may require
additional consultation with clients subject to these changes to
ensure their activities comply with revised regulations.
CBIZ itself is subject to industry regulation and changes,
including changes in laws, regulations, and codes of ethics
governing its accounting, insurance, valuation, registered
investment advisory and broker-dealer operations, as well as in
other industries, the interpretation of which may restrict
CBIZs operations. CBIZ is currently in compliance with
laws and regulations that have been recently changed or imposed,
and is not aware of any proposed changes that will have a
negative impact on CBIZs operations, or our ability to
comply with such existing or proposed regulations.
CBIZ is subject to certain privacy and information security laws
and regulations, including, but not limited to those under the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA), The Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), and other provisions of federal and
state law which may restrict CBIZs operations and give
rise to expenses related to compliance. CBIZ is currently in
compliance with such laws and regulations, and expects to remain
in compliance in future periods.
As a public company, CBIZ is subject to the provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to reform the oversight of public
company auditing, improve the quality and transparency of
financial reporting by those companies and strengthen the
independence of auditors. CBIZ is currently in compliance with
those requirements.
Liability Insurance
CBIZ carries policies including those for commercial general
liability, automobile liability, property, crime, professional
liability, directors and officers liability, fiduciary
liability, employment practices liability and workers
compensation subject to prescribed state mandates. Excess
liability coverage is carried over the underlying limits
provided by the commercial general liability and automobile
liability policies.
Employees
At December 31, 2005, CBIZ employed approximately 4,700
employees, approximately half of whom hold professional
certifications or degrees. CBIZ believes that it has a good
relationship with its employees. CBIZ believes that as a
professional services company that differentiates itself from
competitors through the quality and
8
diversity of our service offerings, the Companys employees
are our most important asset. Accordingly, CBIZ strives to
remain competitive as an employer while increasing the
capabilities and performance of our employees.
Seasonality
A disproportionately large amount of CBIZs revenue occurs
in the first half of the year. This is due primarily to our
accounting and tax practice, which is subject to seasonality
related to heavy volume in the first four months of the year.
CBIZs ATA group generated approximately 42% of its revenue
in the first four months of 2005. Like most professional service
companies, most of CBIZs operating costs are relatively
fixed in the short term, resulting in higher operating margins
in the first half of the year.
Uncertainty of Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of
historical fact included in this Annual Report, including
without limitation, Business and Properties and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations regarding CBIZs
financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives
for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can
identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate
strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking
statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and
phrases as intends, believes,
estimates, expects,
projects, anticipates, foreseeable
future, seeks, and words or phrases of similar
import in connection with any discussion of future operating or
financial performance. In particular, these include statements
relating to future actions, future performance or results of
current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and
financial results. From time to time, we also may provide oral
or written forward-looking statements in other materials we
release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking
statements in
this 10-K, in the
2005 Annual Report and in any other public statements that we
make, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
Such forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate
assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and
uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in Item 1A.
Risk Factors will be important in determining future
results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be
guaranteed. Our actual future results may vary materially. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any
further disclosures we make on related subjects in the
quarterly, periodic and annual reports we file with the SEC.
Also note that we provide the following cautionary discussion of
risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions
relevant to our businesses. These are factors that we think
could cause our actual results to differ materially from
expected and historical results. Other factors besides those
described here could also adversely affect operating or
financial performance. This discussion is provided as permitted
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following factors may affect our actual operating and
financial results and could cause results to differ materially
from those in any forward-looking statements. There may be other
factors, and new risk factors may emerge in the future. You
should carefully consider the following information.
A reversal of or decline in the current trend of
outsourcing business services may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our business and growth depend in large part on the trend toward
outsourcing business services. We can give you no assurance that
this trend in outsourcing will continue. Current and potential
customers may elect to perform such services with their own
employees. A significant reversal of, or a decline in, this
trend would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We may be more sensitive to revenue fluctuations than
other companies, which could result in fluctuations in the
market price of our common stock.
A substantial majority of our operating expenses such as
personnel and related costs, depreciation and rent, are
relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, we may not be
able to quickly reduce costs in response to any decrease in
revenue. For example, any decision by a significant client to
delay or cancel our services may cause significant variations in
operating results and could result in losses for the applicable
quarters. Additionally, the general condition of the United
States economy has and will continue to affect our business.
Potential new clients may defer from switching service providers
when they believe economic conditions are unfavorable. Any of
these
9
factors could cause our quarterly results to be lower than
expectations of securities analysts and shareholders, which
could result in a decline in the price of our common stock.
We have a risk that payments on accounts receivable or
notes receivable may be slower than expected, or that amounts
due on receivables or notes may not be fully collectible.
Professional services firms often experience higher average
accounts receivable days outstanding compared to many other
industries. If collections become slower, our liquidity may be
adversely impacted. We monitor the aging of receivables
regularly and make assessments of the ability of customers to
pay amounts due. We provide for potential bad debts each month
and recognize additional reserves against bad debts as we deem
it appropriate. Notwithstanding these measures, our customers
may face unexpected circumstances that adversely impact their
ability to pay their trade receivables or note obligations to us
and we may face unexpected losses as a result.
We are dependent on the services of our executive officers
and other key employees, the loss of any of whom may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Our success depends in large part upon the abilities and
continued services of our executive officers and other key
employees, such as our business unit presidents. In the course
of business operations, employees may resign and seek employment
elsewhere. Certain principal employees, however, are bound in
writing to non-compete agreements barring competitive
employment, client solicitation, and solicitation of employees
for a period of between two and ten years following his or her
resignation. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain
the services of our key personnel. If we cannot retain the
services of key personnel, there could be a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. While we generally have employment agreements and
non-competition agreements with key personnel, courts are at
times reluctant to enforce such non-competition agreements. In
addition, many of our executive officers and other key personnel
are either participants in our stock option plan or holders of a
significant amount of our common stock. We believe that these
interests provide additional incentives for these key employees
to remain with us. In order to support our growth, we intend to
continue to effectively recruit, hire, train and retain
additional qualified management personnel. Our inability to
attract and retain necessary personnel could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and
conflict of interest rules may limit our ability to provide
services to clients of the attest firms with which we have
contractual relationships and the ability of such attest firms
to provide attestation services to clients of ours.
Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and state
accountancy laws and regulations preclude CBIZ from rendering
audit and attest services (other than internal audit services).
As such, CBIZ and its subsidiaries maintain joint-referral
relationships and administrative service agreements (ASAs) with
independent licensed Certified Public Accounting
(CPA) firms under which audit and attest services may be
provided to CBIZs clients by such CPA firms. These firms
are owned by licensed CPAs, a vast majority of whom are employed
by CBIZ subsidiaries.
Under these ASAs, CBIZ provides a range of services to the CPA
firms, including (but not limited to): administrative functions
such as office management, bookkeeping, and accounting;
preparing marketing and promotion materials; providing office
space, computer equipment, and systems support; and leasing
administrative and professional staff. Services are performed in
exchange for a fee. Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are
recorded as revenue in the accompanying 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.
With respect to CPA firm clients that are required to file
audited financial statements with the SEC, the SEC staff views
CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we have contractual
relationships as a single entity in applying independence rules
established by the accountancy regulators and the SEC.
Accordingly, we do not hold any financial interest in an
SEC-reporting attest client of an associated CPA firm, enter
into any business relationship with an SEC-reporting attest
client that the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain,
or sell any non-audit services to an SEC-reporting attest client
that the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain, under
the auditor independence limitations set out in the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other professional accountancy
independence standards. Applicable professional standards
generally permit the ATA practice group to provide additional
services to privately-held companies, in addition to those
services which may be provided to SEC-reporting attest clients
of an associated CPA firm. CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we
are associated
10
have implemented policies and procedures designed to enable us
to maintain independence and freedom from conflicts of interest
in accordance with applicable standards. Given the pre-existing
limits set by CBIZ on its relationships with SEC-reporting
attest clients of associated CPA firms, and the limited number
and size of such clients, the imposition of Sarbanes-Oxley Act
independence limitations did not and is not expected to
materially affect CBIZ revenues.
There can be no assurance that following the policies and
procedures implemented by us and the attest firms will enable us
and the attest firms to avoid circumstances that would cause us
and them to lack independence from an SEC-reporting attest
client; nor can there be any assurance that state accountancy
authorities will not extend current restrictions on the
profession to include private companies. To the extent that
licensed CPA firms for whom we provide administrative and other
services are affected, we may experience a decline in fee
revenue from these businesses as well. To date, revenues derived
from providing services in connection with attestation
engagements of the attest firms performed for SEC-reporting
clients have not been material.
Governmental regulations and interpretations are subject
to changes.
Laws and regulations often result in changes in the amount or
the type of business services required by businesses and
individuals. We cannot be sure that future laws and regulations
will provide the same or similar opportunities for us to provide
business consulting and management services to businesses and
individuals. State insurance regulators have conducted inquiries
to clarify the nature of compensation arrangements within the
insurance brokerage industry. Future regulatory action may limit
or eliminate our ability to enhance revenue through all current
compensation arrangements, and may result in a diminution of
future insurance brokerage revenue from these sources.
Accordingly, CBIZs ability to continue to operate in some
states may depend on our flexibility to modify our operational
structure in response to these changes in regulations.
We are subject to risks relating to processing customer
transactions for our payroll, medical practice management,
property tax management, and other transaction processing
businesses.
The high volume of client funds and data processed by us in our
transaction related businesses entails risks for which we may be
held liable if the accuracy or timeliness of the transactions
processed is not correct. We could incur significant legal
expense to defend any claims against us, even those claims
without merit. While we carry insurance against these potential
liabilities, we cannot be certain that circumstances surrounding
such an error would be entirely reimbursed through insurance
coverage. We believe we have controls and procedures in place to
address our fiduciary responsibility and mitigate these risks.
However, if we are not successful in managing these risks, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be
harmed.
We are subject to risk as it relates to software that we
license from third parties.
We license software from third parties, much of which is
integral to our systems and our business. The licenses are
terminable if we breach our obligations under the license
agreements. If any of these relationships were terminated or if
any of these parties were to cease doing business or cease to
support the applications we currently utilize, we may be forced
to spend significant time and money to replace the licensed
software. However, we cannot assure you that the necessary
replacements will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
We could be held liable for errors and omissions.
All of our professional business services entail an inherent
risk of professional malpractice and other similar claims.
Therefore, we maintain errors and omissions insurance coverage.
Although we believe that our insurance coverage is adequate, we
cannot be certain that actual future claims or related legal
expenses would not exceed the coverage amounts. In addition, we
cannot be certain that the different insurance carriers which
provide errors and omissions coverage for different lines of our
business will not dispute their obligation to cover a particular
claim. If we have a large claim, or a large number of claims, on
our insurance, the rates for such insurance may increase, and
amounts expended in defense or settlement of these claims prior
to exhaustion of deductible or self-retention levels may become
significant, but contractual arrangements with clients may
constrain our ability to incorporate such increases into service
fees. Insurance rate increases, disputes by carriers over
coverage questions, payments by us within deductible or
self-retention limits, as well as any underlying claims or
settlement of such claims, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
11
Our principal stockholders may have substantial control
over our operations.
As of December 31, 2005, the stockholders identified below
owned the following aggregate amounts and percentages of our
common stock, including shares that may be acquired by
exercising options:
|
|
|
|
|
approximately 15.3 million shares, representing 20.7% of
all our outstanding common stock, were owned by Michael G.
DeGroote; |
|
|
|
approximately 5.8 million shares, representing 7.9% of all
our outstanding common stock, were owned by Cardinal Capital
Management LLC; |
|
|
|
approximately 5.1 million shares, representing 7.0% of all
our outstanding common stock, were owned by Dimensional
Fund Advisors Inc.; |
|
|
|
approximately 29.2 million shares, representing 39.6% of
all our outstanding common stock, were owned by our executive
officers, directors, and the foregoing as a group. |
Because of their stock ownership, these stockholders may exert
substantial influence or actions that require the consent of a
majority of our outstanding shares, including the election of
directors. CBIZs share repurchase activities may serve to
increase the ownership percentage of these individuals and
therefore increase the influence they may exert, if they do not
participate in these share repurchase transactions.
We have shares eligible for future sale that could
adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Future sales or issuances of common stock, or the perception
that sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock and dilute the percentage ownership held by
our stockholders. We have authorized 250 million shares,
and have issued and outstanding approximately 74 million
shares at January 31, 2006. More than 47 million of
these shares have been issued in connection with acquisitions.
As part of many acquisition transactions, shares are
contractually restricted from sale for periods up to two years,
and as of January 31, 2006, approximately
242,000 shares of common stock were under
lock-up contractual
restrictions. We cannot be sure when sales by holders of our
stock will occur, how many shares will be sold or the effect
that sales may have on the market price of our common stock. As
of January 31, 2006, we also have registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, 15 million shares of our common
stock, most of which remain available to be offered from time to
time by us in connection with acquisitions under our acquisition
shelf registration statement.
We are reliant on information processing systems.
Our ability to provide business services depends on our capacity
to store, retrieve, process and manage significant databases,
and expand and upgrade periodically our information processing
capabilities. Interruption or loss of our information processing
capabilities through loss of stored data, breakdown or
malfunctioning of computer equipment and software systems,
telecommunications failure, or damage caused by fire, tornadoes,
lightning, electrical power outage, or other disruption could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Although we have disaster
recovery procedures in place and insurance to protect against
such contingencies, we cannot be sure that insurance or these
services will continue to be available at reasonable prices,
cover all our losses or compensate us for the possible loss of
clients occurring during any period that we are unable to
provide business services.
We may not be able to acquire and finance additional
businesses which may limit our ability to pursue our business
strategy.
CBIZ acquired three businesses during 2005, and two in January
2006. It is our intention to selectively acquire businesses that
are complementary in building out our service offerings in our
target markets. However, we cannot be certain that we will be
able to continue identifying appropriate acquisition candidates
and acquire them on satisfactory terms. We cannot assure you
that such acquisitions, even if completed, will perform as
expected or will contribute significant synergies, revenues or
profits. In addition, we may also face increased competition for
acquisition opportunities, which may inhibit our ability to
complete transactions on terms that are favorable to us. There
are certain provisions under our credit facility that may limit
our ability to acquire additional businesses. In the event that
we are not in compliance with certain covenants as specified in
our credit facility, we could be restricted from making
acquisitions, restricted from borrowing funds from our credit
facility for other uses, or required to pay down the outstanding
balance on the line of credit. However, management believes that
funds available under the credit facility, along with cash
generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our
liquidity needs, including planned acquisition activity in the
foreseeable future. To the extent we are unable to find suitable
acquisition candidates, an important component of our growth
strategy may not be realized.
12
The business services industry is competitive and
fragmented. If we are unable to compete effectively, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be
harmed.
We face competition from a number of sources in both the
business services industry and from specialty insurance
agencies. Competition in both industries has led to
consolidation. Many of our competitors are large companies that
may have greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources than us. In addition to these large companies and
specialty insurance agencies, we face competition in the
business services industry from in-house employee services
departments, local business services companies and independent
consultants, as well as from new entrants into our markets. We
cannot assure you that, as our industry continues to evolve,
additional competitors will not enter the industry or that our
clients will not choose to conduct more of their business
services internally or through alternative business services
providers. Although we intend to monitor industry trends and
respond accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able
to anticipate and successfully respond to such trends in a
timely manner. We cannot be certain that we will be able to
compete successfully against current and future competitors, or
that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff
Comments
None.
CBIZs corporate headquarters is located at 6050 Oak Tree
Boulevard, South, Suite 500, Cleveland, Ohio 44131, in
leased premises. Some of CBIZs property and equipment are
subject to liens securing payment of indebtedness of CBIZ and
its subsidiaries. CBIZ and its subsidiaries lease more than 140
offices in 34 states, the District of Columbia and one in
Toronto, Canada, as well as office equipment and company
vehicles. Included in this total, and managed within the
National Practices group, is the Companys medical practice
management business unit which has 74 offices. CBIZ believes
that its current facilities are sufficient for its current needs.

Item 3. |
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.

Dividend Policy
CBIZ has not paid cash dividends on its common stock since
April 27, 1995, and does not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. CBIZs Board of
Directors has discretion over the payment and level of dividends
on common stock. The Board of Directors decision is based
among other things, on results of operations and financial
condition. In addition, CBIZs credit facility does not
permit CBIZ to declare or make any dividend payments, other than
dividend payments made by one of CBIZs wholly owned
subsidiaries to the parent company. CBIZ currently intends to
retain future earnings to finance the ongoing operations and
growth of the business. Any future determination as to dividend
policy will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors
and will depend on a number of factors, including future
earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and future
prospects, limitations on dividend payments pursuant to credit
or other agreements and such other factors as the Board of
Directors may deem relevant.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
(c) On February 10, 2005, CBIZs Board of
Directors authorized the share repurchase of up to
5.0 million shares of CBIZ common stock; this plan expired
December 31, 2005. On February 9, 2006, the Board of
Directors authorized the purchase of up to 5.0 million
shares of CBIZ common stock through March 31, 2007. Stock
repurchase activity during the year ended December 31, 2005

CBIZ utilized, and may utilize in the future, a
Rule 10b5-1
trading plan to allow for repurchases by the Company during
periods when it would not normally be active in the trading
market due to regulatory restrictions. Under the
Rule 10b5-1
trading plan, CBIZ was unable to repurchase shares above a
pre-determined price per share. Additionally, the maximum number
of shares that may be purchased by the Company each day is
governed by Rule 10b-18.

Effective January 1, 2002, CBIZ adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No., 142 Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), which requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no
longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at
least annually at the reporting unit level. CBIZ finalized the
required transitional tests of goodwill during 2002, and
recorded an impairment charge of $88.6 million on a pre-tax
basis. This non-cash charge is reflected as a cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $80.0
million, net of a tax benefit of $8.6 million. |
|
|

Pro forma net income represents income from continuing
operations assuming that the change in accounting principle for
SFAS No. 142, adopted January 1, 2002, was
applied retroactively (net of taxes) to the year ended
December 31, 2001. In addition, pro forma diluted weighted
average common shares for 2001 are 96,442, as the effect of the
incremental shares are not anti-dilutive on a pro forma basis. |

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion is intended to assist in the
understanding of CBIZs financial position at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and results of operations and
cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with CBIZs consolidated financial statements and related
notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. This
discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and
should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures and
information contained in Uncertainty of Forward-Looking
Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors in
this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Overview
CBIZ seeks to strengthen its operations and customer service
capabilities by selectively acquiring businesses that are
complementary in building out our service offerings in our
target markets. During the year ended December 31, 2005,
CBIZ acquired three businesses consisting of a registered
investment advisory firm in Cleveland, Ohio, an accounting and
consulting practice in San Diego, California, and a
valuation firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In addition, CBIZ
acquired two client lists which complement our Accounting, Tax
and Advisory and Benefits and Insurance practices. CBIZ expects
to continue its acquisition strategy, and in accordance with
such acquired The TriMed Group and Valley Global Insurance
Brokers in January 2006. The TriMed Group is located in Flint,
Michigan and provides medical billing services and in-house
computer systems primarily to hospital-based physician
practices; Valley Global Insurance Brokers is a property and
casualty insurance broker located in San Jose, California.
As part of its strategy to promote and strengthen cross-serving,
CBIZ consolidates operations and locations in fragmented
markets. During the year ended December 31, 2005, CBIZ
consolidated offices in the Denver market, and continued
consolidation activities in the Chicago market.
CBIZ continually evaluates its business operations, and may from
time to time sell or close operations that are underperforming,
located in secondary markets, or do not provide the level of
synergistic cross-serving opportunities with other CBIZ
businesses that is desired. During 2005, CBIZ sold a business
operation from the Benefits and Insurance practice group, closed
a business operation from the Accounting, Tax and Advisory
practice group, and committed to the divesture of a business
unit in the National Practices Other practice group.
These divestitures are consistent with CBIZs plan to focus
on metropolitan markets in which we can strengthen our core
service offerings.
CBIZ believes that repurchasing shares of its common stock is a
use of cash that provides value to stockholders, and accordingly
the Board of Directors approved a plan allowing CBIZ to
repurchase up to 5.0 million shares of its common stock
during 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2005, CBIZ
repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares of CBIZ common
stock at a total cost of $16.7 million. The credit facility
and net cash provided by CBIZ operations were utilized to fund
share repurchases. On February 9, 2006, the Board of
Directors authorized the purchase of up to 5.0 million
shares of CBIZ common stock through March 31, 2007. The
shares may be repurchased in the open market or through
privately negotiated purchases.
Effective February 13, 2006, CBIZ entered into a new
$100 million unsecured credit facility, with an option to
increase the commitment to $150 million. The new facility
provides CBIZ with lower borrowing costs and greater flexibility
with regards to corporate initiatives such as acquisitions and
share repurchases.
Effective August 1, 2005, pursuant to approval by our Board
of Directors and shareholders, CBIZ changed its corporate name
from Century Business Services, Inc. to CBIZ,
Inc. CBIZ believes that this name change is integral to
promoting greater name recognition in the marketplace, and to
reinforcing our image as a unified provider of business services.
Results of Operations Continuing Operations
CBIZ provides solutions that enable our clients to better manage
their finances, employees and technology, through three practice
groups. A brief description of these groups operating
results and factors affecting their businesses is provided
below. The Medical Management Professionals unit (CBIZ MMP),
which reports under the National Practices group, exceeds the
quantitative threshold of SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, for aggregation and therefore is reported as
a separate segment.
Same-unit revenue represents total revenue adjusted to reflect
comparable periods of activity for acquisitions and
divestitures. For example, for an operation divested on
July 1, 2005, revenue from the periods July 1 through
16
December 31, 2004 are reported as revenue from divested
operations; thus, same-unit revenue includes revenue for the
periods January 1 through June 30 of both years. Revenue
from divested operations represents operations that did not meet
the criteria for treatment as discontinued operations.

Same-unit revenue growth was 6.2% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004. A
detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included
under Operating Practice Groups below.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $485.3 million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005, from
$438.4 million for the comparable period in 2004, an
increase of $46.9 million or 10.7%. As a percent of
revenue, operating expenses (excluding consolidation and
integration charges) were 86.1% and 86.3% for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The primary
components of operating expenses are personnel costs and
occupancy expense, representing 80.0% and 80.3% of total
operating expenses and 69.5% and 69.7% of revenue for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As
the majority of CBIZs operating costs are relatively fixed
in the short term, gross margin as a percentage of revenue
generally improves with revenue growth. However, for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005 versus the comparable period
in 2004, gross margin as a percentage of revenue did not change
primarily as the result of consolidation and integration charges
incurred during 2005 (described in further detail below), and
expenses related to our incentive compensation plan. A more
comprehensive analysis of operating expenses and their impact on
gross margin is discussed by operating practice group below.
Consolidation and integration charges are reported as operating
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations, and were 0.7% and 0.5% of revenue for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
increase in consolidation and integration charges in 2005 versus
2004 was primarily due to co-location activities in the Denver
and Chicago markets during 2005.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to
$24.9 million from $24.1 million, but decreased as a
percentage of revenue to 4.4% from 4.8% for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
increase in corporate general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to compensation and benefits, including
expenses related to our incentive compensation plan. The
incentive compensation plan is further discussed under
Critical Accounting Policies Incentive
Compensation below.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $15.2 million or
2.7% of revenue for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005, compared to $16.0 million or 3.2% of revenue for the
comparable period in 2004. The decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense was primarily attributable to the shift
from purchasing computer-related equipment and furniture to
leasing such items. Operating lease costs are recorded as
operating
17
expenses rather than capitalized and recorded as depreciation
expense. Lease expenses related to these items totaled
$3.5 million and $2.5 million for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased by $1.6 million to
$3.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005, from $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2004.
The increase in interest expense was the result of higher
average debt and higher interest rates during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 versus the comparable period in
2004. Average debt was $51.6 million for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 compared to $40.9 million for
the comparable period in 2004, and average interest rates were
5.4% and 3.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, respectively. Higher debt during 2005 compared to 2004
was primarily due to $29.3 million in spending during 2005
for share repurchases and acquisitions. Debt is further
discussed under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Gain on sale of operations, net was $0.3 million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005, and was related to
the sale of client lists from the Accounting, Tax and Advisory
and Benefits and Insurance practice groups. For the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004, gain on sale of operations,
net was $1.0 million and was related to the sale of two
operations and three client lists in the Accounting, Tax and
Advisory practice group, and a client list from the Benefits and
Insurance practice group.
Other income, net was $5.1 million for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005, and $3.5 million for the
comparable period in 2004. Other income (expense), net is
comprised primarily of interest income earned on funds held for
clients at CBIZs payroll business, income earned on assets
held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred compensation plan,
gains and losses on sales of assets, and miscellaneous income
such as contingent royalties from previous divestitures. The
increase in other income for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004, was
primarily the result of higher interest earned on restricted
cash and funds held for clients primarily at CBIZs payroll
business, higher contingent royalties earned from previous
divestitures, and income earned on assets of the deferred
compensation plan. The increase in other income was partially
offset by $0.4 million in interest income in 2004 related
to a tax refund, that did not recur in 2005.
Income Taxes
CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of
$14.6 million and $8.0 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The effective tax
rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was
40.3%, which is generally in line with statutory federal and
state tax rates of approximately 40.0%. The effective tax rate
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was 27.4%,
and reflected a $3.5 million tax benefit related to a
favorable tax position which was successfully resolved upon
completion of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service for
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000.

Same-unit revenue for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 increased by $16.5 million or 7.8% from the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004. The growth in same-unit
revenue was primarily due to an increase in fees earned pursuant
to administrative service agreements (further described under
Business Services of Item 1), an increase in
the aggregate number of hours charged to clients for consulting,
litigation support and
18
Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services, net price
increases for traditional accounting and tax services and
litigation support, and a higher number of transactions closed
by our real estate brokerage firm during 2005 versus 2004. The
growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by
accounting and consulting firms in San Diego, California
and Denver, Colorado. Divested operations represent one small
unit that did not provide opportunity for growth or
cross-serving capabilities.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Accounting,
Tax and Advisory practice group are personnel costs, occupancy
costs and professional service fees paid to third parties,
representing 88.0% and 88.1% of total operating expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Personnel costs increased $19.7 million in
2005 from 2004, primarily due to additional professionals
employed by CBIZ, both from acquired businesses and to
accommodate growth in revenue. As a percentage or revenue,
personnel costs decreased to 65.5% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005, from 66.6% for the comparable period in
2004, primarily as the result of improved utilization of
personnel. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature but
increased $0.8 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004,
primarily due to the business acquired in San Diego,
California. As a percentage of revenue, occupancy costs
decreased to 6.4% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 from 7.0% for the comparable period in 2004, primarily due
to the increase in revenue previously discussed. Professional
service fees paid to third parties increased $2.0 million
to 2.8% of revenue from 2.3% of revenue for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Professional service fees paid to third parties are primarily
the result of our utilization of third-party professionals to
provide Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services to our
clients.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue increased by 1.3% for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from the comparable
period in 2004, primarily due to the improved utilization of
personnel combined with an increase in net rates charged to
clients for accounting and tax services and an increase in the
number of hours charged to clients for consulting, litigation
support and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services.
CBIZ expects revenue growth for the ATA practice to continue in
2006, which is consistent with trends in the accounting
industry. The accounting industry is experiencing growth in
revenue from both an increase in services being provided to
clients and an increase in the rates being charged to clients.
The accounting industry also continues to experience pricing
pressures on compensation as firms compete for qualified
professionals to support the growth in revenue. As a result of
these pricing pressures, CBIZ expects the growth in revenue to
be accompanied by modest improvements in gross margin in 2006.

Same-unit revenue for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 increased by $1.1 million or 0.8% from the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004. The growth in same-unit
revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our group health
and human capital advisory businesses. These increases were
partially offset by the loss of a large client from our retail
business, the pricing of property and casualty policies sold
during 2005 versus 2004, and a decline in revenue in our
bank-owned life insurance business. The growth in revenue from
acquired businesses was provided by a group benefits business in
Owings Mills, Maryland and a registered investment advisory firm
in Cleveland, Ohio.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Benefits
and Insurance practice group are personnel costs, commissions
paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing
86.5% and 86.3% of total operating expenses for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Personnel costs increased $5.1 million to 57.0% of revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 55.4% of revenue
for the
19
comparable period in 2004. Acquired businesses contributed
$2.1 million of the increase in personnel costs; the
remainder of the increase was primarily the result of
investments in sales and support personnel intended to promote
organic growth. Commissions paid to third party brokers
decreased as a percentage of revenue to 6.1% for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005 from 7.8% for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to a decline
in revenue at a national business unit that specializes in
bank-owned life insurance. Such revenue loss resulted in a
decline in commissions paid to external brokers. Occupancy costs
are relatively fixed in nature and decreased as a percentage of
revenue to 5.7% for the year ended December 31, 2005 from
5.8% for the comparable period in 2004, primarily as a result of
overall growth in revenue.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue increased by 0.6% for the
year ended December 31, 2005 from the comparable period in
2004, primarily due to the growth in revenue combined with
expense management efforts. In 2006, CBIZ expects growth to
continue in the Benefits and Insurance group based on our
intention to continue making investments in sales and support
personnel in select markets, to continue providing superior
consulting and brokerage services for our commercial clients, to
continue seeking cross-serving opportunities within CBIZ to
garner new business and grow market share and to strengthen
existing client relationships in order to promote retention.

CBIZ MMP revenue increased by $10.3 million, or 11.8%, for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from the
comparable period 2004. Growth was attributable to new clients
obtained in 2005, the maturation of clients obtained in 2004,
and growth in revenue from existing clients.
The largest components of operating expenses for CBIZ MMP are
personnel costs, occupancy costs and office expenses (primarily
postage), representing 88.1% and 88.9% of total operating
expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. Personnel costs increased by
$5.1 million, but decreased as a percent of revenue to
58.0% from 58.9% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in personnel costs was
directly related to an increase in the number of client service
staff employed by CBIZ MMP during 2005 compared to 2004, as
required to support the growth in revenue. Additionally, CBIZ
MMP added personnel in the compliance and technology disciplines
to support the current infrastructure and to position the unit
for continued growth in the future. Occupancy costs increased
$1.0 million to 7.0% of revenue for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 from 6.7% of revenue for the comparable
period in 2004. The increase in occupancy costs was primarily
due to additional space required and expenses incurred to
accommodate overall growth of the unit. Office expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 increased 6.0% from
the comparable period in 2004 in response to overall growth of
the unit.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 0.4% for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from the comparable
period in 2004 as a result of the growth in revenue. CBIZ
expects MMPS operating expenses to increase in 2006 based
on significant investments to upgrade their operating system to
allow for future growth. As a result of these investments, gross
margin in 2006 is expected to remain consistent with 2005;
however, gross margin as a percentage of revenue is expected to
decline.

Same-unit revenue for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 increased by $3.4 million or 5.2% from the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in same-unit
revenue was primarily due to growth in our technology businesses
of $3.5 million, offset by a decline in revenue generated
by the mergers and acquisition business of $0.5 million. Growth
in revenue experienced by our technology businesses was largely
the result of sales to new clients, as well as higher product
sales at one unit. The decline in revenue experienced by the
mergers and acquisition business was attributable to the number
and size of transactions that closed during 2005 versus 2004.
The mergers and acquisition business closed two transactions in
2005 as compared to three transactions that closed during 2004.
The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a
technology firm in Cleveland, Ohio, and a valuation business in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The largest components of operating expenses for the National
Practices Services Other segment are personnel
costs, direct costs and occupancy costs, representing 89.6% and
90.8% of total operating expenses for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Personnel costs
increased $1.4 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004, of
which $1.1 million was attributable to acquired businesses.
As a percentage of revenue, personnel costs decreased to 59.5%
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from 62.5%
for the comparable period in 2004. Direct costs (which consist
primarily of product costs associated with hardware sales in the
technology businesses) increased $2.1 million to 13.8% of
revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from
11.8% of revenue for the comparable period in 2004. Direct costs
increased as a percentage of revenue, and personnel costs
decreased as a percentage of revenue, as a larger portion of
revenue was derived from product sales during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 than in the comparable period of
2004. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and
decreased as a percentage of revenue to 4.8% for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005, from 6.4% for the
comparable period in 2004. The decrease in occupancy costs as a
percentage of revenue resulted from a combination of revenue
growth and the shutdown of unprofitable facilities. CBIZ closed
facilities in the mergers and acquisition and valuation
businesses in June 2004, as well as an unprofitable office in
the valuation business during the first quarter of 2005.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue increased by 1.7% for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004, primarily as the result of
growth in the technology businesses and operational efficiencies
in the valuation business. Due to the unpredictable nature of
the mergers and acquisitions business, CBIZ expects gross margin
for 2006 to be in line with 2005 levels.

Same-unit revenue growth was 4.8% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004 from the comparable period in 2003. A
detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included
under Operating Practice Groups below.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $438.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004, from $419.9 million for the
comparable period in 2003, an increase of $18.5 million or
4.4%. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses (excluding
consolidation and integration charges) were 86.3% and 86.7% for
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The primary components of operating expenses are personnel costs
and occupancy expense, representing 80.3% and 80.5% of total
operating expenses and 69.7% and 70.1% of revenue for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. A more
comprehensive analysis of operating expenses (excluding
consolidation and integration charges) and their impact on gross
margin is discussed by operating practice group below.
Consolidation and integration charges are reported as operating
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations, and increased as a percent of revenue to 0.5% from
0.4% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The increase in consolidation and integration
charges was due primarily to real estate leasing costs in the
Chicago market during 2004.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to
$24.1 million or 4.8% of revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2004, from $18.7 million or 3.9% of
revenue for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in
corporate general and administrative expenses in 2004 versus
2003 was primarily the result of an increase in legal expenses,
settlements (net of recoveries), and litigation reserves of
approximately $3.2 million, to address several
long-standing litigation issues. Additionally, CBIZ incurred
approximately $1.0 million in expenses during 2004
associated with its compliance efforts in connection with
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to
$16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004,
from $16.6 million for the comparable period in 2003, a
decrease of $0.6 million, or 3.4%. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the shift from purchasing
computer-related items and furniture to leasing such items.
These operating lease costs are recorded as operating expenses,
rather than capitalized and recorded as depreciation, and total
$2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and
$1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. As
a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense
was 3.2% and 3.4% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased to $1.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004, from $1.1 million for the
comparable period in 2003, an increase of $0.4 million, or
42.8%. The increase in interest expense was the result of higher
average debt of $40.9 million during the year ended
December 31, 2004, compared to $18.2 million
22
during the year ended December 31, 2003. Higher debt during
2004 was primarily due to share repurchase activity. The
increase in interest expense due to higher average debt balances
was offset by a decrease in average interest rates to 3.5% for
the year ended December 31, 2004 from 4.4% for the year
ended December 31, 2003. Additionally, interest expense for
year ended December 31, 2003 included fees related to an
interest rate swap that was terminated during the second quarter
of 2003.
Gain on sale of operations, net was $1.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, and was related to the sale
of two operations and three client lists from the ATA practice
group, and a client list from the B&I practice group. For
the year ended December 31, 2003, gain on sale of
operations, net was $2.5 million and related primarily to
the sale of Health Administrative Services from the B&I
practice group. Three businesses from the ATA practice group
were also sold during the year ended December 31, 2003.
CBIZ reported other income of $3.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004, compared to other expense of
$1.2 million for the comparable period in 2003, an increase
$4.7 million. Other income (expense), net is comprised
primarily of interest income earned on funds held for clients at
CBIZs payroll business, adjustments to the fair value of
assets held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred
compensation plan implemented in the first quarter of 2004,
gains and losses on the sale of assets, and miscellaneous income
such as contingent royalties from previous divestitures. The
change in other income (expense) for the year ended
December 31, 2004 from the year ended December 31,
2003 was primarily related to $2.8 million of impairment
charges to notes receivable during the year ended
December 31, 2003 that did not recur in 2004. Of those
impairment charges, $2.4 million related to the impairment
of a note taken in connection with the divestiture of the
hazardous waste operation in 1997, that filed bankruptcy in
2003. Additionally, other income for the year ended
December 31, 2004 included approximately $0.4 million
of interest income related to a tax refund that is discussed in
further detail below, and approximately $0.4 million
related to the deferred compensation plan that was implemented
during the first quarter of 2004.
Income Taxes
CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of
$8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004,
compared to $11.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The effective tax rate decreased to
27.4% for the year ended December 31, 2004, from 43.8% for
the comparable period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the
year ended December 31, 2004 was lower than statutory
federal and state tax rates of approximately 40.0% due to a
$3.5 million net tax benefit related primarily to a
favorable tax position which was successfully resolved upon
completion of the Internal Revenue Service examination for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000. The
effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2003 was
higher than the statutory federal and state tax rates of
approximately 40.0%, primarily due to capital losses resulting
from certain impairment charges that were not offset by capital
gains and thus were not deductible in the period.

Same-unit revenue for the twelve months ended December 31,
2004 increased by $6.9 million or 3.4% from the twelve
months ended December 31, 2003. The growth experienced in
same-unit revenue was primarily due to an increase in the
aggregate number of hours charged to clients for litigation
support and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services, combined with
modest price increases for traditional accounting and tax
services. The growth in revenue from acquisitions was primarily
from Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services provided by CBIZ
Harborview, which
23
was acquired in September 2003, as well as accounting services
provided by firms in Denver, Colorado, and Orange County,
California. Divested operations represent several smaller units
that did not provide opportunity for growth and cross-serving
capabilities.
The largest components of operating expenses for the ATA group
were personnel costs, occupancy costs and professional service
fees paid to third parties, representing 88.1% and 87.2% of
total operating expenses for the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. Personnel costs increased
$3.2 million primarily due to increases in staff to
accommodate revenue growth, as well as annual increases in
compensation rates. As a percentage of revenue, personnel costs
were 66.6% and 68.3% for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively. The decrease in personnel costs as a
percentage of revenue was the result of improved utilization of
personnel. Occupancy costs, which are generally fixed in nature,
were 7.0% and 7.2% of revenue for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Professional
service fees paid to third parties increased $3.3 million
to 2.3% percent of revenue for the year ended December 31,
2004 from 0.8% for the same in 2003, as the result of outsourced
professional services utilized primarily at two business units;
one unit that delivers services requiring specialization in
state agency compliance and CBIZ HarborView that delivers
Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services.
Gross margin improved by 1.3% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004 over the comparable period in 2003,
primarily due to growth in Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services,
as well as modest increases in hourly billing rates.

On a same-unit basis, the Benefits and Insurance (B&I) group
experienced an increase in revenue of $0.5 million, or 0.4%
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 compared to
the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. This growth was
the result of strength in our core retail businesses, primarily
group health and welfare, offset by a decline in revenue at a
national business unit that specialized in bank-owned life
insurance. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was
provided by firms in Chicago, Illinois, Salt Lake City, Utah and
Owings Mills, Maryland, that specialize in group benefits and
property and casualty services. The decline in revenue from
divested operations was primarily the result of Health
Administration Services which was sold in May 2003.
The largest components of operating costs for the B&I group
were personnel costs, commissions paid to third party brokers,
and occupancy costs, representing 86.3% and 86.4% of total
operating expenses in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Personnel
costs increased as a percentage of revenue to 55.4% from 53.4%,
primarily as a result of investments in sales and support
personnel intended to promote organic growth. Commissions paid
to third party brokers increased to 7.8% of revenue in 2004 from
7.7% in 2003, primarily due to a higher portion of revenue being
generated with third party brokers during 2004 than in 2003.
Occupancy expenses are relatively fixed in nature, but decreased
as a percent of revenue to 5.8% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004, from 6.1% for the comparable period in
2003, primarily as the result of cost savings realized from
office consolidation and integration activities that occurred
during the year.
Goss margin decreased in 2004 compared to 2003, primarily as the
result of the decline in revenue experienced by the national
business unit described above. A large portion of this
units costs are fixed in the short term, thus resulting in
a negative impact to margins when revenue declined. The growth
in revenue experienced by our core retail businesses did not
result in a similar favorable impact on gross margin, as the
retail business units have a more variable cost structure.

CBIZ MMP revenue increased by $11.5 million, or 15.1%, for
twelve months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the
twelve months ended December 31, 2003. Approximately
$4.2 million of the growth was attributable to new clients
obtained during 2004. The remaining revenue growth was the
result of the maturation of clients obtained in 2003 and strong
existing client sales.
The largest components of operating expenses for CBIZ MMP were
personnel costs, occupancy costs and office expenses (primarily
postage), representing 88.9% and 90.0% of total operating
expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Personnel costs increased by $7.7 million to
58.9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004, from
57.6% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003. This
increase was directly related to an increase in the number of
client service staff employed by MMP during 2004 versus 2003,
required to support the growth in revenue. Additionally, MMP
added personnel in compliance and technology to support the
infrastructure and to position the unit for continued growth.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue were 6.7% and 7.1%,
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Office expenses for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004 increased 5.9% from the comparable period
in 2003 in response to overall growth of the unit.
Gross margin declined in 2004 from 2003, primarily as a result
of investments in additional staff to support and facilitate
growth.

On a same-unit basis, the National Practices group, excluding
CBIZ MMP, experienced higher revenues of $4.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2003. Approximately $2.1 million of
the same-unit revenue growth was attributable to three
transactions that closed during the first six months of 2004 in
CBIZs mergers and acquisition business. The remainder of
the increase was primarily from our payroll processing unit and
valuation business. The payroll processing unit made investments
in their business processes and systems during 2003 to position
the unit for growth. These investments, along with increased
client satisfaction (evidenced by higher than anticipated
retention rate), resulted in favorable revenue results in 2004
as compared to 2003. This increase was offset by lower revenues
in CBIZs technology and health care consulting businesses
in 2004. Revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a
technology business located in Cleveland, Ohio. Revenue from
divested operations related to the closure of unprofitable
locations in the technology businesses during 2003.
25
The largest components of operating expenses for the National
Practices Services Other segment were personnel
costs, direct costs and occupancy costs, representing 90.8% and
89.9% of total operating expenses in 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Personnel costs decreased by $2.2 million,
and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 62.5% for the year
ended December 31, 2004, from 70.2% for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of
a reduction in personnel related to the closure of unprofitable
locations in the mergers and acquisitions group. Direct costs
primarily consisted of product costs associated with hardware
sales in the technology businesses. These costs decreased by
$0.7 million, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to
11.8% for the year ended December 31, 2004, from 13.7% for
the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease was
primarily a result of lower product costs at our technology
division due to the closure of unprofitable locations during
2003. Occupancy costs are generally fixed in nature and
decreased as a percentage of revenue to 6.4% in 2004 from 7.1%
in 2003, primarily as a result of the shutdown of unprofitable
facilities in the technology businesses described above.
The improvement in gross margin for the year ended
December 31, 2004 from the year ended December 31,
2003 was realized as the result of closing unprofitable
locations in the technology businesses and discontinuing
unprofitable product lines, combined with the three mergers and
acquisitions transactions as previously discussed, and
improvements and operational efficiencies in the payroll,
technology and valuation businesses.
Results of Operations Discontinued Operations
During 2005, CBIZ closed an operation from the Accounting, Tax
and Advisory practice group, and sold a business unit from the
Benefits and Insurance practice group. In addition, CBIZ
committed to the divestiture of a business unit in the National
Practices Other practice group. CBIZ plans to divest
of this business in two portions, one of which will be sold and
the other which will be closed. The National Practices business
unit is classified as available for sale at December 31,
2005.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, CBIZ divested of
three business operations; two business units from the
Accounting, Tax and Advisory practice group were divested
through a sale and a closure, and a business unit from the
National Practices Other practice group was closed.
During 2003, CBIZ committed to the divestiture of five and
divested of six business operations, (of which one was available
for sale at December 31, 2002). There were no businesses
available for sale at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
These operations qualified for treatment as discontinued
operations, and have been classified as such in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 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. Accordingly, the net assets,
liabilities, and results of operations of these businesses are
reported separately in the consolidated financial statements
included herewith. Based upon the sales proceeds and costs of
closure, CBIZ recorded a gain on disposal of discontinued
operations, net of tax, of $3.6 million, $0.1 million
and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004, and 2003 respectively. Revenue associated with
discontinued operations for the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003 was $6.0 million, $18.5 million
and $37.0 million, respectively. The loss from operations
of these discontinued operations, net of tax, for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was
$6.5 million, $5.4 million and $0.7 million,
respectively.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $454.6 million, total liabilities were
$199.9 million and shareholders equity was
$254.7 million as of December 31, 2005. Current assets
of $209.2 million exceeded current liabilities of
$153.4 million by $55.8 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.6 million to
$8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Restricted cash was $9.9 million at December 31, 2005,
a decrease of $0.2 million from December 31, 2004.
Restricted cash represents those funds held in connection with
CBIZs securities regulated operations and funds held in
connection with the pass through of insurance premiums from our
clients to the respective carriers. Cash and restricted cash
fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash receipts
and related payments.
Accounts receivable, net were $99.2 million at
December 31, 2005, an increase of $0.2 million from
December 31, 2004. The slight increase in accounts
receivable is attributed to the increase in revenue from
internal growth and acquisitions, offset by an improvement in
collections from a year ago. Days sales outstanding
(DSO) represents trade accounts receivable (before the
allowance for doubtful accounts) and unbilled revenue
26
(net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period,
divided by daily revenue. CBIZ provides DSO data because such
data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and
investors and as a measure of the Companys ability to
collect on receivables in a timely manner. DSO for continuing
operations was 67 days at December 31, 2005, a
6 day improvement from 73 days at December 31,
2004.
Other current assets increased by $1.5 million at
December 31, 2005 from December 31, 2004, primarily
due to an increase in prepaid expenses offset by a decrease in
interest receivable. The increase in prepaid expenses was
attributable to the timing of insurance premium payments; the
decrease in interest receivable relates to a tax refund that was
received in February 2005.
Income taxes recoverable at December 31, 2004 includes the
expected refund related to a favorable tax position which was
successfully resolved upon completion of the IRS examination of
tax years 1998-2000. The tax refund was received in February
2005.
Funds held for clients are directly offset by client fund
obligations. Funds held for clients fluctuate during the year
based on the timing of cash receipts and related payments, and
are further described in Note 1 to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated
amortization, increased by $12.9 million at
December 31, 2005 from December 31, 2004.
Acquisitions, including contingent consideration earned,
resulted in a $15.5 million increase in goodwill and other
intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2005.
This increase was offset by $2.6 million of amortization
expense.
Assets of the deferred compensation plan represent participant
deferral accounts. The assets are held in a rabbi trust and are
directly offset by obligations of the plan, representing
obligations due to the participants. Although the assets of the
plan are specifically designated as available to CBIZ solely for
the purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation
plan, in the event that CBIZ became insolvent, the assets would
be available to all unsecured general creditors. The plan is
described in further detail in Note 11 of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
The accounts payable balance of $26.4 million at
December 31, 2005 reflects amounts due to suppliers and
vendors; balances fluctuate during the year based on the timing
of cash payments. Accrued personnel costs of $35.9 million
at December 31, 2005 represent amounts due for payroll,
payroll taxes, employee benefits and incentive compensation;
balances fluctuate during the year based on the timing of
payments and our estimate of incentive compensation costs.
Incentive compensation is described more fully under
Critical Accounting Policies Incentive
Compensation below.
Other liabilities (current and non-current) increased by
$3.6 million at December 31, 2005 from
December 31, 2004. The increase in other liabilities
relates primarily to amounts owed by CBIZ as contingent proceeds
earned by acquired businesses. The increase is also the result
of differences between cash payments required under various
operating leases, versus rent expense which is recognized on a
straight-line basis.
Income taxes payable of $1.1 million at December 31,
2005 represents our estimate of taxes due on current year
income. At December 31, 2004, CBIZ recorded income taxes
recoverable of $7.1 million, which is discussed in further
detail above.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, CBIZ paid
$29.3 million in cash for business acquisitions (initial
consideration and additional consideration earned) and share
repurchases, in addition to reducing the amount of outstanding
debt under the credit facility to $32.2 million at
December 31, 2005 from $53.9 million at
December 31, 2004. Cash to fund acquisitions, share
repurchases and the reduction in bank debt during the year ended
December 31, 2005, was provided by CBIZ operations.
Stockholders equity increased $8.2 million in 2005
from 2004, primarily due to net income of $18.7 million,
and the exercise of stock options which contributed
$5.4 million. The increase in stockholders equity
resulting from net income and stock option exercises was
partially offset by share repurchases. During 2005, CBIZ
repurchased 3.8 million shares of common stock which
resulted in a $16.7 million decrease in stockholders
equity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
CBIZs principal source of net operating cash is derived
from the collection of fees and commissions from professional
services rendered to its clients. In addition, CBIZ supplements
net operating cash with a senior secured credit facility. The
$100.0 million facility carries an option to increase the
commitment to $125.0 million,
27
and allows for the allocation of funds for strategic
initiatives, including acquisitions and the repurchase of CBIZ
common stock. The facility has a five year term with an
expiration date of August 2009.
At December 31, 2005, CBIZ had $32.2 million
outstanding under its credit facility, as well as letters of
credit and guarantees totaling $4.4 million. Available
funds under the facility based on the terms of the commitment
were approximately $54.1 million at December 31, 2005.
The credit facility was secured by substantially all assets of
CBIZ, as well as the capital stock of its subsidiaries. Under
the credit facility, CBIZ was required to meet certain financial
covenants with respect to (i) minimum net worth;
(ii) maximum leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio. CBIZ believes it was in compliance with
its covenants as of December 31, 2005.
Effective February 13, 2006, CBIZ entered into a new
$100.0 million unsecured credit facility, which replaced
the previous facility. The new facility has an option to
increase the commitment to $150.0 million, and has a five
year term expiring in February 2011. In addition to providing
lower borrowing costs, the new facility provides CBIZ with
greater flexibility in regards to on-going corporate
initiatives. Specifically, the new facility removes limitations
on share repurchases and acquisitions provided the leverage
ratio (total debt compared to EBITDA as defined by the facility)
is less than 2.0. CBIZ believes it is in compliance with
covenants under the new credit agreement.
Management believes cash generated from operations, combined
with the available funds from the credit facility, provides CBIZ
the financial resources needed to meet business requirements for
the next twelve months, including capital expenditures, working
capital requirements, and strategic investments.
CBIZ may also obtain funding by offering securities or debt,
through public or private markets. CBIZ currently has a number
of shelf registrations active, under which it can offer such
securities. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial
statements included herewith for a description of these shelf
registration statements.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended
December 31, 2004
Cash provided by operating activities represents net income
adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and
liabilities. During 2005, cash provided by operating activities
was $52.8 million compared to $19.7 million in 2004.
The increase of $33.1 million in cash provided by operating
activities in 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in the change
in income taxes of $13.2 million, a decrease in the change
in accounts receivable, net, of $6.4 million, and an
increase in the change in accrued personnel costs of
$7.4 million. The decrease in income taxes due was related
to a $4.0 million refund received during 2005, combined
with the overpayment of taxes during 2004, which were used to
reduce 2005 tax payments.
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of
payments toward capital expenditures and business acquisitions,
proceeds from divested operations and the collection of notes
receivable. CBIZ used $14.3 million in net cash for
investing activities during 2005, compared to $8.6 million
during 2004. Investing uses of cash during 2005 primarily
consisted of $12.6 million of net cash used towards
business acquisitions and $6.9 million for capital
expenditures (net), offset by $2.1 million in proceeds from
discontinued and divested operations and $1.7 million in
net collections on notes receivable. Investing uses of cash
during 2004 primarily consisted of $5.7 million of net cash
used toward business acquisitions and $7.4 million for
capital expenditures (net), offset by $4.6 million in
proceeds from discontinued and divested operations and
$0.2 million in net collections on notes receivable.
Capital expenditures primarily consisted of technology
investments, as well as leasehold improvements and equipment
purchased in connection with the consolidation of certain
offices.
Cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of net
borrowing and payment activity from the credit facility,
repurchases of CBIZ common stock, net borrowing and payment
activity toward notes payable and capitalized leases, and
proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Net cash used in
financing activities during the year ended December 31,
2005 was $35.0 million compared to $9.6 million for
the comparable period in 2004. Financing uses of cash during
2005 included $21.7 million in net payments towards the
credit facility, $16.7 million in cash used to purchase 3.8
million shares of CBIZ common stock, and $0.8 million in
net payments towards notes payable and capitalized leases,
offset by $4.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of
stock options. During 2004, financing uses of cash included
$50.4 million in cash used to repurchase 10.4 million
shares of CBIZ common stock through a tender offer and open
market purchases, and $0.4 million in net payments towards
notes payable and capitalized leases, offset by
$39.9 million in net proceeds from the credit facility and
$1.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
28
Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended
December 31, 2003
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was
$19.7 million versus $38.9 million in 2003, a decrease
of $19.2 million. The decrease in cash provided by
operating activities was primarily due to an increase in the
change in income taxes of $10.8 million, and a reduction in
the change in accounts payable of $8.8 million during the
year ended December 31, 2004 versus the comparable period
in 2003. The increase in income taxes was attributable to
deferred tax assets utilized in 2003 in connection with the
divestiture of two non-core business units.
CBIZ used $8.6 million in net cash for investing activities
during 2004, compared to $4.6 million during 2003.
Investing uses of cash during 2004 primarily consisted of
$5.7 million of net cash used toward business acquisitions
and $7.4 million for capital expenditures (net), offset by
$4.6 million in proceeds from discontinued and divested
operations and $0.2 million in net collections on notes
receivable. Investing uses of cash during 2003 primarily
consisted of $3.8 million of net cash used toward business
acquisitions and $10.4 million for capital expenditures
(net), offset by $7.2 million in proceeds from discontinued
and divested operations and $1.8 million in net collections
on notes receivable. The decrease in cash used for capital
expenditures (net) during 2004 versus 2003 was primarily
attributable to the shift from purchasing computer-related
equipment and furniture, to financing such equipment under
operating leases.
Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $9.6 million compared to
$36.9 million for the comparable period in 2003. During
2004, financing uses of cash included $50.4 million in cash
used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock through a tender
offer and open market purchases, and $0.4 million in net
payments towards notes payable and capitalized leases, offset by
$39.9 million in net proceeds from the credit facility and
$1.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock
options. During 2003, financing uses of cash included
$3.5 million in net payments towards the credit facility,
$33.6 million in cash used to repurchase shares of CBIZ
common stock, and $0.7 million in net payments towards
notes payable and capitalized leases, offset by
$0.9 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements with
independent CPA firms (as described more fully under
Business Services Accounting, Tax, and
Advisory above), which qualify as variable interest
entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as
amended. The impact to CBIZ of
29
this accounting pronouncement is not material to the financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ, and is
further discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements included herewith.
CBIZ provides guarantees of performance obligations for a CPA
firm with which CBIZ maintains an administrative service
agreement. Potential obligations under the guarantees totaled
$2.4 million and $1.3 million at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. 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. The liability is
recorded as other current liabilities in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. CBIZ does not expect it will be
required to make payments under these guarantees.
CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of
its leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which
totaled $2.0 million and $2.9 million at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, CBIZ
provides bonds to various state agencies to meet certain
licensing requirements. The amount of bonds outstanding at
December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $1.2 million and
$1.6 million, respectively.
CBIZ has various agreements under 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. It is not possible to
predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under
these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature
of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular
agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these
agreements have not been material. As of December 31, 2005,
we were not aware of any indemnification agreements that would
require material payments.
Interest Rate Risk Management
CBIZ has used interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate
mix of its credit facility and related overall cost of
borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of floating
for fixed rate interest payments to effectively convert floating
rate debt into fixed rate debt based on a one, three, or
six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow CBIZ
to maintain a target range of fixed to floating rate debt.
During June 2003, CBIZ paid its revolving credit facility
balance down to zero, thus requiring it to terminate its
interest rate swap, which was scheduled to expire during August
2003 and carried a fixed rate of 5.58% (fixed Libor rate of
3.58% plus an applicable margin of 2.0%). During the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, CBIZ did not utilize interest
rate swaps. Management will continue to evaluate the potential
use of interest rate swaps as it deems appropriate under certain
operating and market conditions.
CBIZ invests funds held for clients in short-term investment
grade instruments with a maturity of twelve months or less from
the date of purchase. The interest income on these short-term
investments mitigate the interest rate risk for the borrowing
costs of CBIZs credit facility, as the rates float based
on market conditions and the average balances of the respective
investments and debt are comparable in size.
Critical Accounting Policies
The policies discussed below are considered by management to be
critical to the understanding of CBIZs consolidated
financial statements because their application places
significant demand on managements judgment, with financial
reporting results relying on estimation about the effects of
matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these
critical accounting policies are described in the following
paragraphs. For all of these policies, management cautions that
estimates may require adjustment if future events develop
differently than expected.
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
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). CBIZ
offers a vast array of products and business services to its
clients. Those services are delivered through three practice
groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to
those groups, is provided below.
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
30
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.
Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services
Revenue consists primarily of fees for accounting services,
preparation of tax returns, and consulting services including
Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance projects. Revenues are
recorded in the period in which services are provided and meet
revenue recognition criteria in accordance with SAB 104.
CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed
fee or actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net
realizable rates per hour, plus any
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.
Through one of its ATA units, CBIZ provides flexible benefits
administration services to clients, grants access of its
proprietary software to third parties, and provides hosting to
these parties. Revenue associated with set up and license fees
related to our flexible benefits services are deferred and
recognized pro rata over the life of the contract.
Benefits and Insurance Services
Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions,
and fee income for administering health and retirement plans. A
description of the revenue recognition, based on the insurance
product and billing arrangement, is described below.
|
|
|
|
|
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 policy becomes effective; and life insurance
commissions are recognized when the policy becomes effective.
Commission revenue is reported net of sub-broker commissions.
Commission revenue is reported net of reserves for estimated
policy cancellations and terminations. This 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 is recognized in the period in which services are
provided, and may be based on actual hours incurred on an hourly
fee basis, fixed fee arrangements, or asset-based fees. |
National Practices Services 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.
|
|
|
|
|
Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Advisory
Revenue associated with non-refundable retainers is recognized
on a pro rata basis over the life of the engagement. Revenue
associated with success fee transactions is recognized when the
transaction is completed. |
|
|
|
Technology Consulting Revenue associated with
hardware and software sales is recognized upon delivery and
acceptance of the product. Revenue associated with installation
is recognized as services are performed, and revenue associated
with service agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis.
Consulting revenue is recognized on an hourly or per diem fee
basis as services are performed. |
|
|
|
Valuation Revenue consists primarily of fees for
valuation services such as fairness opinions, business plans,
litigation support, purchase price allocations and derivative
valuations. Revenues are recorded in the period in which
services are provided and meet revenue recognition criteria in
accordance with SAB 104. CBIZ bills clients based upon a
predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee or actual hours incurred on
client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus
any 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. |
|
|
|
Payroll Revenue is recognized when the actual
payroll processing occurs. |
31
|
|
|
|
|
Medical Management Group Fees for services are
primarily based on a percentage of net collections on our
clients patient accounts receivable. As such, revenue is
determinable, earned, and recognized, when payments are received
on our clients patient accounts. |
Valuation of Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Specifically, management must make
estimates of the collectibility of accounts receivable,
including unbilled accounts receivable, related to current
period service revenue. Management analyzes historical bad
debts, client credit-worthiness, the age of accounts receivable
and current economic trends and conditions when evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the
collectibility of notes receivable. Significant management
judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with
establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts in any
accounting period. Material differences may result if management
made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
Valuation of Goodwill
CBIZ utilizes the purchase method of accounting for all business
combinations in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations. Intangible assets, which include client
lists and non-compete agreements, are amortized principally by
the straight-line method over their expected period of benefit,
not to exceed ten years.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is
not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during
the fourth quarter of each year, and between annual tests if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying
value. There was no impairment of goodwill during the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004, or 2003.
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies, including litigation claims, are recorded as
liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.
Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time
periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis that often
depends on judgment about potential actions by third parties.
Incentive Compensation
Determining the amount of expense to recognize for incentive
compensation at interim and annual reporting dates involves
management judgment. Expenses accrued for incentive compensation
are based upon expected financial results for the year, and the
ultimate determination of incentive compensation can not be made
until after year-end results are finalized. Thus, amounts
accrued are subject to change in future interim periods if
actual future financial results are higher or lower than
expected. In arriving at the amount of expense to recognize,
management believes it makes reasonable judgments using all
significant information available. At December 31, 2005,
CBIZ believes that the accrual for incentive compensation
accurately reflects amounts that will be paid under the plan.
Income Taxes
Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense,
income tax liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities
involves management judgment. Management estimates an annual
effective tax rate (which takes into consideration expected
full-year results), which is applied to our quarterly operating
results to determine the provision for income tax expense. In
the event there is a significant, unusual or infrequent item
recognized in our quarterly operating results, the tax
attributable to that item is recorded in the interim period in
which it occurs. Circumstances that could cause our estimates of
effective income tax rates to change include the impact of
information that subsequently becomes available as we prepare
our corporate income tax returns; the level of actual pre-tax
income; revisions to tax positions taken as a result of further
analysis and consultation; the receipt and expected utilization
of federal and state income tax credits; and changes mandated as
a result of audits by taxing authorities. Management believes it
makes reasonable judgments using all significant information
available when estimating income taxes.
32
Other Significant Policies
Other significant accounting policies not involving the same
level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above are
nevertheless important to understanding the consolidated
financial statements. Those policies are described in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained
herein.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued the revised Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)), which addresses the accounting for
share-based payment transactions in which the Company obtains
employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of
the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair
value of the Companys equity instruments or that may be
settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. This
statement eliminates the ability to account for employee
share-based payment transactions using APB Opinion No. 25
and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for
using the grant-date fair value based method. In April 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed the effective
date for SFAS 123(R) until the first fiscal year beginning
after June 15, 2005. As a result of this SEC ruling, CBIZ
is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123(R) in the
first quarter of 2006.
CBIZ expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123(R) using
the modified prospective method. Pursuant to this method of
adoption, prior periods will not be restated. Rather, this
method requires that compensation expense be recorded for the
unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain
outstanding on the Statements effective date, as the
related services are rendered, based on the awards
grant-date fair value as previously calculated for the pro forma
disclosure under SFAS 123. Compensation expense calculated
in accordance with SFAS 123(R) in future periods may differ
from the pro forma amounts disclosed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements included herewith, as the
amount of compensation expense will vary depending on
assumptions for future forfeitures, the number of options
granted in 2006, the market value of our common stock and
changes in other variables impacting stock option valuation
estimates.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, Share Based Payments,
which summarizes the views of the SEC regarding the interaction
between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations,
and also provides the SECs views regarding the valuation
of share-based payment arrangements. CBIZ will consider the
guidance provided by SAB 107 as it implements
SFAS 123(R).
In August 2005, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position
(FSP) No. FAS 123(R)-1, Classification and
Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally
Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under
SFAS No. 123(R). FSP
No. FAS 123(R)-1 states that a freestanding
financial instrument issued to an employee originally subject to
SFAS 123(R) becomes subject to the recognition and
measurement provision of other applicable generally accepted
accounting principles when the rights conveyed by the instrument
to the holder are no longer dependent on the holder being an
employee of the entity. The provisions of FSP
No. FAS 123(R)-1 are effective upon CBIZs
initial adoption of SFAS 123(R). Adoption is not expected
to have a material impact on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
In February 2006, the FASB issued FSP 123(R)-4,
Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued
as Employee Compensation that allow for Cash Settlement upon the
Occurrence of a Contingent Event. FSP 123(R)-4 amends
certain provisions of SFAS 123(R) and addresses the
classification of options and similar instruments issued as
employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the
occurrence of a contingent event. The provisions of FSP
No. FAS 123(R)-4 are effective upon CBIZs
initial adoption of SFAS 123(R). Adoption is not expected
to have a material impact on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement
No. 3. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods financial statements of
changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to
determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative
effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires that
retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be
limited to the direct effects of the change; indirect effects of
a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the
period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 is
effective for CBIZ in the first quarter of 2006.
In October 2005, the FASB issued FSP
No. FAS 13-1,
Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction
Period. FSP
No. FAS 13-1
clarifies that there is no distinction between the right to use
a leased
33
asset during the construction period and after the construction
period, and therefore rental costs associated with ground or
building operating leases that are incurred during a
construction period shall be recognized as rental expense. FSP
No. FAS 13-1 is
effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2005. Adoption is not expected to have a
material impact on the financial position, results of operations
or cash flows of CBIZ.
In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and
FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.
This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is
considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than
temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP
FAS 115-1 and 124-1 specifically nullifies the requirements
of paragraphs 10-18 of
EITF 03-1 and
references existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance.
The guidance under this FSP is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FSP
FAS 115-1 and 124-1 is not expected to have a material
impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of CBIZ.

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
CBIZs floating rate debt under its credit facility exposes
the Company to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results
when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. A change
in the Federal Funds Rate, or the Reference Rate set by the Bank
of America, would affect the rate at which CBIZ could borrow
funds under its credit facility. If market interest rates were
to increase or decrease immediately and uniformly by
100 basis points from the levels at December 31, 2005,
interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately
$0.3 million annually.
CBIZ does not engage in trading market risk sensitive
instruments. CBIZ has used interest rate swaps to manage the
interest rate mix of its credit facility and related overall
cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of
floating for fixed rate interest payments to effectively convert
floating rate debt into fixed rate debt based on a one, three,
or six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow
CBIZ to maintain a target range of fixed to floating rate debt.
Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of
interest rate swaps as it deems appropriate under certain
operating and market conditions.

Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period
covered by this report. This evaluation (Controls Evaluation)
was done with the participation of our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SECs rules and forms. Disclosure Controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that
our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls over financial
reporting (Internal Controls) will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources,
and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative
to its costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within CBIZ have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in
34
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur
because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can
be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a
control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and may not be detected.
In the course of our ongoing evaluation, we have identified
internal control deficiencies in a number of business processes.
These deficiencies were not material to our operations or
financial reporting either individually or in the aggregate. In
each instance, we have undertaken efforts to remediate any
deficiencies identified. We are continuing to implement new IT
systems where needed to support corporate functions or business
unit operations in order to further enhance operating
efficiencies. As these new systems and procedures are
implemented, we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our
Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls.
Conclusions
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have
concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the
Disclosure Controls are effective in providing reasonable
assurance that material information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Other than disclosed above, there were no changes in our
Internal Controls that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our Internal Controls.
Item 9B. Other
Information
None.
Item 9C. Managements
Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Companys management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision of
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework provided
in Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework). Based on this
evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2005.
CBIZs independent auditor, KPMG LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on
managements assessment of internal control over financial
reporting which appears in Item 8 of this Annual Report.

Executive Compensation |
Information with respect to this item is incorporated by
reference from the discussion under the heading Executive
Compensation in CBIZs Definitive Proxy Statement for
the 2006 Annual Stockholders Meeting to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 120 days
after the end of CBIZs fiscal year.

Item 12. |
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management and Related Stockholder Matters |
Information with respect to this item is incorporated by
reference from CBIZs Definitive Proxy Statement for the
2006 Annual Stockholders Meeting to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 120 days
after the end of CBIZs fiscal year.
|
|
Item 13. |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions |
The following is a summary of certain agreements and
transactions between or among CBIZ and certain related parties.
It is CBIZs policy to enter into transactions with related
parties on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than
those that would be available from unaffiliated parties. Based
on CBIZs experience and the terms of its transactions with
unaffiliated parties, it is the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors and managements belief that the
transactions described below met these standards at the time of
the transactions.
A number of the businesses acquired by CBIZ are located in
properties owned indirectly by and leased from persons employed
by CBIZ. In the aggregate, CBIZ paid approximately
$1.3 million, $1.3 million, and $1.4 million for
the years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, under such
leases which management believes were at market rates.
39
Rick L. Burdick, a director of CBIZ, is a partner of Akin Gump
Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP (Akin, Gump). Akin, Gump
performed legal work for CBIZ during 2005, 2004 and 2003 for
which the firm received approximately $0.1 million,
$0.2 million, and $0.2 million from CBIZ, respectively.
Robert A. OByrne, a Senior Vice President, has an interest
in a partnership that receives commissions from CBIZ that are
paid to certain eligible benefits and insurance producers in
accordance with a formal program to provide benefits in the
event of death, disability, retirement or other termination. The
program was in existence at the time CBIZ acquired the former
company, of which Mr. OByrne was an owner. The
partnership received approximately $0.3 million,
$0.3 million, and $0.4 million from CBIZ during the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
CBIZ maintains joint-referral relationships and administrative
service agreements with independent licensed CPA firms under
which CBIZ provides administrative services in exchange for a
fee. These firms are owned by licensed CPAs who are employed by
CBIZ subsidiaries, and provide audit and attest services to
clients including CBIZs clients. The CPA firms with which
CBIZ maintains service agreements 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 administrative service agreements 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 its respective services, and CBIZ does
not believe that its arrangements with these CPA firms result in
additional risk of loss.
Although the service agreements do not constitute control, CBIZ
is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear
certain economic risks. As such, the CPA firms with which CBIZ
maintains administrative service agreements may qualify as
variable interest entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46
(FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, as amended. The impact to CBIZ of this
accounting pronouncement is discussed in Note 1 to
CBIZs consolidated financial statements included herewith.
CBIZ acted as guarantor on three letters of credit for a CPA
firm with which it has an affiliation. The letters of credit
total $2.4 million and $1.3 million as of
December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004,
respectively. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45
(FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others and its amendments, 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
financial statements. Management does not expect any material
changes to result from these instruments as performance is not
expected to be required.
In 2003, CBIZ executed a note receivable with a CPA firm whose
partner group has since joined MHM P.C., a CPA firm with
which CBIZ maintains an administrative services agreement. The
balance on the note at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.
In an effort to rationalize the business, CBIZ has divested of
several operations that were underperforming, located in
secondary markets or did not provide the level of synergistic
cross-serving opportunities with other CBIZ businesses that is
desired. In accordance with this strategy, CBIZ has sold and may
sell in the future businesses to former employees or
shareholders. Management believes that past transactions were
priced at market rates, competitively bid, and entered into at
arms length terms and conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CBIZ, Inc.:
We have audited managements assessment, Managements
Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, included in
Item 9C of
Form 10-K, that
CBIZ, Inc. and subsidiaries (Company) maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). The Companys management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
consolidated financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of CBIZ, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2005, and our report dated March 15, 2006
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CBIZ, Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CBIZ,
Inc. and subsidiaries (Company) as listed in the accompanying
index on page F-1. In connection with our audits of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index
on page F-1. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of CBIZ, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on
criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report
dated March 15, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on
managements assessment of, and the effective operation of,
internal control over financial reporting.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
1. |
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies |
Organization
CBIZ, Inc. 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 Toronto, Canada.
CBIZ, Inc. offers integrated services through its three practice
groups: Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services (ATA), Benefits
and Insurance Services (B&I), and National Practices.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (CBIZ). 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 below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States 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, accrued liabilities (such as incentive
compensation), 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 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation. Reclassifications include, but may not be limited
to: legal settlements (previously reported as other income
(expense), net, which are now reported as corporate general and
administrative expense), discontinued operations and certain
other expenses that were reclassified between operating and
corporate general and administrative expenses.
In 2005, CBIZ has separately disclosed the operating and
investing portions of the cash flows attributable to its
discontinued operations, which in prior periods were combined
and reported as a single amount. Prior periods have been revised
to conform to the current year presentation. There were no
financing activities attributable to the operations of
discontinued operations in 2005, 2004 or 2003.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less at the date of purchase.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents fees earned by CBIZ in relation to
its capital and investment advisory services, as those funds are
restricted in accordance with applicable NASD regulations.
Restricted cash also represents funds on deposit from clients in
connection with the pass through of insurance premiums to the
carrier; the related liability for these funds is recorded in
other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
F-8
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Funds Held for Clients and Client Fund Obligations
Payroll 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, and may include cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments. 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 and the related client fund obligations are included in
the consolidated balance sheets as current assets and current
liabilities, respectively. The amounts of collected but not yet
remitted funds may vary significantly during the year.
One of the business units classified as a discontinued operation
collects funds from clients accounts in advance of paying
the related client obligations. These funds and related
liabilities are reported as assets of discontinued
operations and liabilities of discontinued
operations, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. The amount of funds held for clients by our
discontinued operations is disclosed in Note 18.
Assets of Deferred Compensation Plan
Assets of the deferred compensation plan represent marketable
investments that consist primarily of mutual funds, money market
funds and equity securities. CBIZ classifies these marketable
securities as trading securities under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities. In accordance with the provisions of this
statement, the investment balance is stated at fair market value
based on quoted market prices, and realized and unrealized gains
and losses are reflected in earnings. The assets held in the
deferred compensation plan reflect amounts due to employees, but
are available for general creditors of CBIZ in the event CBIZ
becomes insolvent. As such, CBIZ has recorded the investment as
a non-current asset titled assets of deferred compensation
plan and has established a corresponding other long-term
liability entitled deferred compensation plan
obligations in the consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
CBIZ records derivative instruments in accordance with
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as subsequently
amended by SFAS 137, SFAS 138 and SFAS 149.
Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value.
The treatment of gains and losses resulting from changes in the
fair values of derivative instruments is dependent on the use of
the respective derivative instruments and whether they qualify
for hedge accounting.
CBIZ did not utilize derivative instruments in 2005 or 2004. In
2003, CBIZ terminated an interest rate swap that was originated
in 2001. The interest rate swap agreement qualified as a cash
flow hedge, which was used to manage the interest rate mix of
its credit facility and related overall cost of borrowing. For
the year ended December 31, 2002, the change in fair value
relating to CBIZs hedging activity resulted in a loss of
approximately $0.3 million, which is recorded in
stockholders equity under accumulated other comprehensive
loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of CBIZs cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying
value of bank debt approximates fair value, as the interest rate
on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market
rates.
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 net realizable value. Assessing the collectibility of
receivables (billed and unbilled) requires
F-9
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that may subject CBIZ to concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable. CBIZ places its cash and cash equivalents
with highly-rated financial institutions, limiting the amount of
credit exposure with any one financial institution. In addition,
CBIZ conducts on-going evaluation of credit-worthiness of the
financial institutions with which it does business. CBIZs
client base consists of large numbers of geographically diverse
customers dispersed throughout the United States; thus,
concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable
is not considered significant.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
CBIZ utilizes the purchase method of accounting for all business
combinations in accordance with SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations. Identifiable intangible
assets include finite-lived purchased intangible assets, which
primarily consist of client lists and non-compete agreements.
These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over
their expected periods of benefit, generally two to ten years.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is
not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during
the fourth quarter of each year, and between annual tests if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying
value. To conduct a goodwill impairment test, the fair value of
the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the
reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value,
CBIZ records an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying
value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Fair values
for reporting units are estimated using discounted cash flow
valuation models.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets primarily include property and equipment and
identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. In accordance
with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, these assets are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
or groups of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
long-lived assets or groups of assets is assessed based on a
comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value
of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is
written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted
cash flow analysis. Determining the fair value of long-lived
assets includes significant judgment by management, and
different judgments could yield different results.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
provided on the straight-line basis over the following estimated
useful lives:
|
|
|
Buildings
|
|
25 years |
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
5 to 10 years |
Capitalized software
|
|
2 to 7 years |
Equipment
|
|
3 to 7 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the respective
lease.
Capitalized Software
The cost of software purchased or developed for internal use is
capitalized in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use. The
F-10
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
costs are amortized to expense using the straight line method
over an estimated useful life not to exceed seven years.
Capitalized software is classified as property and equipment in
the consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
currently due and deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. State income tax credits are accounted for by the
flow-through method.
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized. CBIZ determines a valuation allowance based on the
analysis of amounts available in the statutory carryback or
carryforward periods, consideration of future deductible
amounts, and assessment of the consolidated and/or separate
company profitability.
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
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). CBIZ
offers a vast array of products and business services to its
clients. Those services are delivered through three practice
groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to
those groups, is provided below.
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 recognized
on a pro-rata basis over the term of the arrangement.
Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services
Revenue consists primarily of fees for accounting services,
preparation of tax returns, and consulting services including
Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance projects. Revenues are
recorded in the period in which services are provided and meet
revenue recognition criteria in accordance with SAB 104.
CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed
fee or actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net
realizable rates per hour, plus any
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.
Through one of its ATA units, CBIZ provides flexible benefits
administration services to clients, grants access of its
proprietary software to third parties, and provides hosting to
these parties. Revenue associated with set up and license fees
related to our flexible benefits services are deferred and
recognized pro rata over the life of the contract.
Benefits and Insurance Services
Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions,
and fee income for administering health and retirement plans. A
description of the revenue recognition, based on the insurance
product and billing arrangement, is described below.
|
|
|
|
|
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 policy becomes effective; and |
F-11
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
life insurance commissions are recognized when the policy
becomes effective. Commission revenue is reported net of
sub-broker commissions. Commission revenue is reported net of
reserves for estimated policy cancellations and terminations.
This 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 is recognized in the period in which services are
provided, and may be based on actual hours incurred on an hourly
fee basis, fixed fee arrangements, or asset-based fees. |
National Practices Services 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.
|
|
|
|
|
Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital
Advisory Revenue associated with non-refundable
retainers is recognized on a pro rata basis over the life of the
engagement. Revenue associated with success fee transactions is
recognized when the transaction is completed. |
|
|
|
Technology Consulting Revenue associated with
hardware and software sales is recognized upon delivery and
acceptance of the product. Revenue associated with installation
is recognized as services are performed, and revenue associated
with service agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis.
Consulting revenue is recognized on an hourly or per diem fee
basis as services are performed. |
|
|
|
Valuation Revenue consists primarily of fees
for valuation services such as fairness opinions, business
plans, litigation support, purchase price allocations and
derivative valuations. Revenues are recorded in the period in
which services are provided and meet revenue recognition
criteria in accordance with SAB 104. CBIZ bills clients
based upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee or actual hours
incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per
hour, plus any
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. |
|
|
|
Payroll Revenue is recognized when the actual
payroll processing occurs. |
|
|
|
Medical Management Group Fees for services
are primarily based on a percentage of net collections on our
clients patient accounts receivable. As such, revenue is
determinable, earned, and recognized, when payments are received
on our clients patient accounts. |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses represent costs of service, as well as other
costs incurred to operate our business units. These costs are
primarily personnel related expenses, occupancy expenses, and
consolidation and integration related expenses. Personnel costs
include base compensation, commissions, payroll taxes, and
benefits, which are recognized as expense as they are incurred,
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, thus
estimates are subject to change. Total personnel costs were
$353.0 million, $317.7 million and $304.3 million
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003,
respectively.
The largest components of occupancy costs are rent expense and
utilities. Rent expense is recognized over respective lease
terms (see operating leases below), and utilities
are recognized as incurred. Total occupancy costs were
$35.5 million, $34.1 million and $33.6 million
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003,
respectively.
Consolidation and integration charges are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
Accordingly, CBIZ recognizes a liability for non-cancelable
lease obligations based upon the net present value of remaining
lease payments, net of estimated sublease
F-12
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
payments. The liability is determined and recognized as of the
cease-use date and adjustments to the liability are made for
changes in estimates in the period in which a change becomes
known.
Operating Leases
CBIZ leases certain of its office facilities and equipment under
various operating leases. Rent expense under such leases is
recognized in accordance with SFAS 13, Accounting for
Leases. SFAS 13 requires lessees to record rent
expense evenly throughout the term of the lease obligation when
the lease commitment is a known amount, but allows for rent
expense to be recorded on a cash basis when future rent payments
under the obligation are unknown because the rent escalations
are tied to factors that are not currently measurable (such as
increases in the consumer price index). Differences between rent
expense recognized and the cash payments required under
operating lease obligations, are recorded in the consolidated
balance sheets as other current or non-current liabilities as
appropriate.
CBIZ may receive incentives to lease office facilities in
certain areas. In accordance with SFAS 13, such incentives
are recorded as a deferred credit and recognized as a reduction
to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leasehold improvements made at the inception of or during the
lease are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the
lease term.
Variable Interest Entities
Effective January 1, 2004, CBIZ adopted FASB Interpretation
No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities (FIN 46), as amended. In accordance with the
provisions of the aforementioned standard, 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 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 its 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 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 and other potentially dilutive
securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock awards are computed using the average
market price for the period in accordance with the treasury
stock method.

Stock Based Awards
CBIZ accounts for its employee stock options in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
Accordingly, compensation expense is recorded on the date of
grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeds the exercise price. CBIZ provides pro forma net income
and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock
option grants as if the fair-value-based method had been applied
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. Had the cost of stock option plans been
determined based on the fair value of options at the grant date,
CBIZs net income and earnings per share pro forma amounts
would be as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

A tax rate of 40.0% was applied to the fair value of options in
determining pro forma net income for each of the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. |
The above results may not be representative of the effects on
net income for future years. CBIZ applied the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to determine the fair value of each option
granted during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants, and
are granted at no cost to the recipients. The market value of
shares awarded is recorded as unearned compensation, and is
expensed ratably over the period which restrictions lapse.
Guarantees
CBIZ recognizes a liability for the fair value of obligations
undertaken in issuing guarantees, in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, as amended (FIN 45). The
liability is recognized at the inception of such guarantees, and
is recorded as other current liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets.

The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended
December 31, 2005 was primarily due to changes in the
valuation allowances for state tax credit carryforwards, capital
losses realized in excess of capital gains, and NOL
carryforwards. The net change in the valuation allowance for the
year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to changes
in the valuation of NOL carryforwards. The net change in the
valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2003
was due to increases in valuation allowances for NOL
carryforwards, state tax credit carryforwards, and asset
impairment charges, offset by a decrease in the valuation
allowance for state deferred taxes related to an impairment of
tax deductible goodwill.
The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to
significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities from continuing operations at December 31, 2005

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) made a final determination relative to its examination of
CBIZs federal income tax returns for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000. The IRS agreed with
CBIZs favorable tax position, which resulted in an income
tax refund of $4.0 million for the years under examination.
At December 31, 2004, this amount was recorded as income
taxes recoverable in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. CBIZ also recorded a deferred tax liability of
$1.3 million, and reversed an accrual for income taxes
payable of $0.8 million related to the audit results. These
items resulted in a net tax benefit of $3.5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2004. The tax refund was
received in February 2005.
Net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for continuing
operations at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows

The availability of NOLs is reported as deferred tax
assets, net of applicable valuation allowances, in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. CBIZ established
valuation allowances for portions of the U.S., Canadian and
state NOL carryforwards, state income tax credit carryforwards,
and for capital losses realized in excess of capital gains.

During 2005, CBIZ maintained a $100.0 million credit
facility with Bank of America as agent bank for a group of five
participating banks. The credit facility had an option to
increase the commitment to $125.0 million and was secured
by substantially all assets of CBIZ, as well as the capital
stock of its subsidiaries. The credit facility included a letter
of credit sub-facility, allowing CBIZ to issue letters of credit
up to $20.0 million. See Note 9 for further discussion
regarding letters of credit. Management believes that the
carrying amount of bank debt approximates its fair value, and
CBIZ had approximately $54.1 million of available funds
under the facility at December 31, 2005.
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 Eurodollar rate plus an
applicable margin. Additionally, a commitment fee of 30 to
45 basis points is charged on the unused portion of the
facility.
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
F-19
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
worth; (ii) maximum leverage ratio; and (iii) a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Limitations are also placed
on CBIZs ability to acquire businesses, repurchase CBIZ
common stock and to divest operations.
The bank agreement 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 agreement, 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
agreement contains a provision that, in the event of a defined
change in control, the agreement may be terminated.
Effective February 13, 2006, CBIZ entered into a new
$100 million unsecured credit facility, which replaced the
previous facility. The new facility has an option to increase
the commitment to $150 million, is maintained by Bank of
America, N.A. as agent bank for a group of five participating
banks, and has a five year term expiring February 2011. Interest
and commitment fees for the new facility are determined in a
manner consistent with the previous facility, although the
applicable margin and commitment fee percentages have been
reduced. In addition, the maximum leverage ratio has been
increased, and limitations on share repurchases and acquisitions
have been removed provided that the leverage ratio (total debt
compared to EBITDA as defined by the facility) is less
than 2.0.

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. Acquisitions are further disclosed in Note 17.
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
F-21
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
material individually or in the aggregate. As of
December 31, 2005, CBIZ was not aware of any obligations
arising under indemnification agreements that would require
material 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 years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, payments regarding such contracts and arrangements have
not been 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 $2.0 million and $2.9 million at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, CBIZ
provides bonds to various state agencies to meet certain
licensing requirements. The amount of bonds outstanding at
December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1.2 million and
$1.6 million, respectively.
CBIZ acted as guarantor on various letters of credit for a CPA
firm with which it has an affiliation, which totaled
$2.4 million and $1.3 million at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. 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.
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.

Consolidation and Integration Reserve |
Consolidation and integration charges are comprised of expenses
associated with CBIZs on-going efforts to consolidate
operations and locations in fragmented markets to promote and
strengthen cross-serving between various practice groups. These
expenses result from individual actions in several markets and
are not part of one company-wide program.
Consolidation and integration charges include costs for moving
facilities, non-cancelable lease obligations, adjustments to
lease accruals based on changes in sublease assumptions,
severance obligations, and other related expenses. Significant
consolidation and integration initiatives during 2005 included
the consolidation of offices in the Denver market and the
continuation of consolidation activities in the Chicago market,
resulting in $0.5 million and $1.3 million in
consolidation and integration charges during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005, respectively. During 2004, CBIZ
incurred consolidation and integration charges of approximately
$1.0 million related to real estate leasing costs in the
Chicago market. Other consolidation and integration initiatives
during 2004 were individually insignificant. During 2003, CBIZ
initiated the consolidation of offices in Orange County,
California, and Cleveland, Ohio, which resulted in
$0.5 million of costs for non-cancelable lease obligations
and moving expenses. In addition, CBIZ continued the
consolidation in the Kansas City market, which was initiated in
2002.

Employee Savings Plan
CBIZ sponsors a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan that
covers substantially all of its employees. Participating
employees may elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, up
to 80% of their pre-tax annual compensation (subject to a
maximum permissible contribution under Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code). Matching contributions by CBIZ are
50% of the first 6% of base compensation that the participant
contributes, and additional amounts may be contributed at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. Participants may elect to
invest their contributions in various funds, including: stock;
fixed income; stable value; and balanced lifecycle funds.
Employer contributions (net of forfeitures) made to the plan
during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
were approximately $5.0 million, $5.2 million, and
$5.1 million, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
CBIZ implemented a deferred compensation plan during the first
quarter of 2004, under which certain members of management and
other highly compensated employees may elect to defer receipt of
a portion of their annual compensation, subject to maximum and
minimum percentage limitations. The amount of compensation
deferred under the plan is credited to each participants
deferral account and a deferred compensation plan obligation is
established by CBIZ. An amount equaling each participants
compensation deferral is transferred into a rabbi trust and
invested in various debt and equity securities as directed by
the participants. The assets of the rabbi trust are held by CBIZ
and recorded as assets of deferred compensation plan in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
F-23
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Assets of the deferred compensation plan consist primarily of
investments in mutual funds, money market funds and equity
securities. The values of these investments are based on
published market quotes at the end of the period. Adjustments to
the fair value of these investments are recorded as other income
(expense), offset by adjustments to compensation expense in the
consolidated statements of operations, and were approximately
$0.6 million and $0.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These investments
are specifically designated as available to CBIZ solely for the
purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation plan.
However, in the event that CBIZ became insolvent, the
investments would be available to all unsecured general
creditors.
The deferred compensation plan obligation represents amounts due
to participants of the plan, and consist of accumulated
participant deferrals and earnings thereon since the inception
of the plan, net of withdrawals. This liability is an unsecured
general obligation of CBIZ, and is recorded as deferred
compensation plan obligations in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
CBIZs authorized common stock consists of 250 million
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common
Stock). The holders of CBIZs Common Stock are entitled to
one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote
of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights with
respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, the holder or
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
will be able to elect the directors of CBIZ then standing for
election as terms expire. Holders of Common Stock have no
preemptive rights and are entitled to such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors of CBIZ out of funds legally
available therefore. The Common Stock is not entitled to any
sinking fund, redemption or conversion provisions. On
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CBIZ, the holders of
Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets of
CBIZ remaining after the payment of any and all creditors. The
outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The transfer agent and
registrar for the Common Stock is Computershare Investor
Services, LLC.
CBIZ completes registration filings related to its Common Stock
to register shares under the Securities Act of 1933. CBIZ has
filed an effective registration statement with the SEC to
register the sale of up to 15 million shares of common
stock that may be offered from time to time in connection with
acquisitions.
Treasury Stock
In February 2005, CBIZs Board of Directors authorized the
share repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of CBIZ common
stock. During the year ended December 31, 2005, CBIZ
repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares of its common
stock in the open market, at an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $16.7 million. The repurchase plan expired
December 31, 2005.
In March 2004, CBIZs Board of Directors authorized share
repurchases of up to 8.5 million shares of CBIZ common
stock. A supplement to the plan was approved by the Board of
Directors in May 2004, authorizing CBIZ to purchase an
additional 2.0 million shares of CBIZ common stock, for a
total of 10.5 million shares. In April 2004, CBIZ completed
a tender offer that resulted in the purchase of approximately
7.5 million shares of CBIZ common stock at a purchase price
of $5.00 per share, or a total cost (including legal and other
direct expenses) of approximately $37.8 million. During the
year ended December 31, 2004, CBIZ also repurchased
approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock in the
open market, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$12.6 million. The repurchase plan expired
December 31, 2004.
In June 2003, CBIZs Board of Directors authorized a share
repurchase of up to 15.0 million shares of CBIZ common
stock (not to exceed $52.5 million). In July 2003, CBIZ
completed a modified Dutch Auction tender offer which resulted
in the purchase of approximately 10.0 million shares of
CBIZ common stock at a purchase price of $3.30 per share, or a
total cost (including legal and other direct expenses) of
approximately $33.2 million. During the year ended
December 31, 2003, CBIZ also repurchased 104,000 shares of
its common
F-24
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
stock in the open market, at an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $0.4 million. The repurchase plan expired
December 31, 2003.
Repurchased shares are held in treasury, and may be reserved for
future use in connection with acquisitions, employee share plans
and other general purposes. The repurchase plans allow CBIZ to
purchase shares through the open market or through privately
negotiated purchases. The repurchase programs do not obligate
CBIZ to acquire any specific number of shares and may be
suspended at any time. During 2005, repurchases were subject to
annual dollar and financial ratio limitations under the credit
facility. At December 31, 2005, CBIZ believes it was in
compliance with this covenant.
Employee Stock Investment Plan
Effective June 1, 2001, CBIZ established the Employee Stock
Investment Plan which provides CBIZ employees with a method of
purchasing shares of CBIZs common stock. Participation in
the plan is open to all CBIZ employees whose payroll is
processed by the designated CBIZ payroll provider. CBIZ assumes
all administrative expenses for the plan, and pays all opening
and transaction charges related to the enrollment and purchase
of stock, other than fees that participants are required to pay
upon the sale of the shares. CBIZ does not provide a discount to
employees for the purchase of CBIZ common stock.
Participants may also purchase shares of CBIZ stock by making
optional cash investments in accordance with the provisions of
the plan. Shares of CBIZ stock purchased by participants in the
plan may be treasury or new issue stock, or at CBIZs
option, CBIZ stock purchased in the open market or negotiated
transactions. Treasury or new issue stock is purchased from CBIZ
at the market price on the applicable investment date. The price
of CBIZ stock purchased in the open market or in negotiated
transactions is the weighted average price at which the shares
are actually purchased.
Stock Options
CBIZs outstanding stock options have been granted pursuant
to two plans: The 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan, and the 2002
Stock Incentive Plan. The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan is an
amendment and restatement of the 1996 Employee Stock Option
Plan. Under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, a maximum of
15.0 million stock options, restricted stock or other stock
based compensation awards may be awarded, which number shall
include those shares that are available for grant under the
prior plan. Under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan a maximum
of 15.0 million shares were available to be awarded.
Stock options awarded under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan
and The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, are generally subject to a
20% incremental vesting schedule over a five-year period
commencing from the date of grant. The options are awarded at a
price not less than fair market value at the time of the award
and expire six years from the date of grant. At the discretion
of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, options
awarded under the plans may vest immediately or in a time period
shorter than five years. Under each of the plans, stock options
awarded to non-employee directors have generally been granted
with immediate vesting. In addition, certain members of
executive management have been granted stock options with
vesting terms of shorter than five years.
Stock options may be granted alone or in addition to other
awards and may be of two types: incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options. In the event the optionee of an
incentive stock option owns, at the time such stock option is
awarded or granted, more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of CBIZ, the option price shall
not be less than 110% of such fair market value.
Total shares available for future grant under the plan were
approximately 5.3 million, 5.3 million and
4.4 million at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards
Under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (described above), certain
employees and non-employee directors were granted restricted
stock awards. Restricted stock awards are independent of option
grants, and are granted at no cost to the recipients. The awards
are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the
release of restrictions, generally one to five years from the
date of grant. Recipients of restricted stock awards are
entitled to the same dividend and voting rights as holders of
other CBIZ common stock and the awards are considered to be
issued and outstanding from the date of grant. However, shares
granted under the plan cannot be sold, pledged, transferred or
assigned during the vesting period.
Restricted stock award activity during the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows (in thousands,

market value was recorded as unearned compensation and is being
expensed ratably over the periods which the restrictions lapse.
Compensation expense recognized for restricted stock awards
amounted to $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Awards outstanding at December 31, 2005 will be released

Non-cash consideration paid for business acquisitions and
proceeds received from divested operations were generally in the
form of notes receivable, notes payable and CBIZ common stock.
The following is a summary of certain agreements and
transactions between or among CBIZ and certain related parties.
It is CBIZs policy to enter into transactions with related
parties on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than
those that would be available from unaffiliated parties. Based
on CBIZs experience and the terms of its transactions with
unaffiliated parties, it is the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors and managements belief that the
transactions described below met these standards at the time of
the transactions.
A number of the businesses acquired by CBIZ are located in
properties owned indirectly by and leased from persons employed
by CBIZ. In the aggregate, CBIZ paid approximately
$1.3 million, $1.3 million, and $1.4 million for
the years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, under such
leases which management believes were at market rates.
Rick L. Burdick, a director of CBIZ, is a partner of Akin Gump
Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP (Akin, Gump). Akin, Gump performed
legal work for CBIZ during 2005, 2004 and 2003 for which the
firm received approximately $0.1 million,
$0.2 million, and $0.2 million from CBIZ, respectively.
Robert A. OByrne, a Senior Vice President, has an interest
in a partnership that receives commissions from CBIZ that are
paid to certain eligible benefits and insurance producers in
accordance with a formal program to provide benefits in the
event of death, disability, retirement or other termination. The
program was in existence at the time CBIZ acquired the former
company, of which Mr. OByrne was an owner. The
partnership received approximately $0.3 million,
$0.3 million, and $0.4 million from CBIZ, during the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
CBIZ maintains joint-referral relationships and administrative
service agreements with independent licensed CPA firms under
which CBIZ provides administrative services in exchange for a
fee. These firms are owned by licensed CPAs who are employed by
CBIZ subsidiaries, and provide audit and attest services to
clients including CBIZs clients. The CPA firms with which
CBIZ maintains service agreements 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 administrative service agreements 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 its respective services, and CBIZ does
not believe that its arrangements with these CPA firms result in
additional risk of loss.
Although the service agreements do not constitute control, CBIZ
is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear
certain economic risks. As such, the CPA firms with which CBIZ
maintains administrative service agreements may qualify as
variable interest entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46
(FIN 46), Consolidation
F-28
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
of Variable Interest Entities, as amended. The impact to
CBIZ of this accounting pronouncement is discussed in the
Note 1.
CBIZ acted as guarantor for letters of credit for a CPA firm
with which it has an affiliation. The letters of credit total
$2.4 million and $1.3 million as of December 31,
2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. In accordance
with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45),
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others and its amendments, 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 financial statements.
Management does not expect any material changes to result from
these instruments as performance is not expected to be required.
In 2003, CBIZ executed a note receivable with a CPA firm whose
partner group has since joined MHM P.C., a CPA firm with
which CBIZ maintains an administrative services agreement. The
balance on the note at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.
In an effort to rationalize the business, CBIZ has divested of
several operations that were underperforming, located in
secondary markets or did not provide the level of synergistic
cross-serving opportunities with other CBIZ businesses that is
desired. In accordance with this strategy, CBIZ has sold and may
sell in the future businesses to former employees or
shareholders. Management believes that past transactions were
priced at market rates, competitively bid, and entered into at
arms length terms and conditions.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, CBIZ acquired
three business operations consisting of: a registered investment
firm in Cleveland, Ohio which complements the B&I practice;
an accounting and consulting practice in San Diego, California;
and a valuation business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which is
reported as part of the National Practices Other segment.
In addition, CBIZ acquired the client lists of an accounting and
consulting practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and of a
Benefits and Insurance practice in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Aggregate consideration for the acquisitions consisted of
approximately $6.6 million cash, $0.4 million in notes
and approximately 45,000 shares of restricted common stock
(estimated stock value of $0.2 million at acquisition) paid
at closing, and up to an additional $13.2 million (payable
in cash and stock) which is contingent on the businesses meeting
certain future revenue or earnings targets.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, CBIZ completed
acquisitions of benefits and insurance firms in Chicago,
Illinois, and Owing Mills, Maryland, as well as an accounting
tax and advisory firm in Denver, Colorado, and a technology firm
in Cleveland, Ohio which is reported as part of the National
Practices Other segment. Aggregate consideration for the
acquisitions consisted of approximately $3.7 million cash
and approximately 215,500 shares of restricted common stock
(estimated stock value of $1.0 million at acquisition) paid
at closing, and up to an additional $8.0 million (payable
in cash and stock) which is contingent on the businesses meeting
certain future revenue and earnings targets.
In addition to the businesses acquired during 2004, CBIZ
purchased three client lists which complement the National
Practices Other segment. The purchase price for these
client lists is primarily dependent upon future results, and is
not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, CBIZ completed the
acquisition of benefits and insurance firms in Boca Raton,
Florida and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as accounting, tax and
advisory firms in Orange County, California and Stamford,
Connecticut. In addition to the acquisitions of these
businesses, CBIZ purchased the client lists of four benefits
agencies. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions and
client lists was approximately $11.2 million, comprised of
$2.8 million in cash and 177,000 shares of restricted
common stock (estimated stock value of $0.3 million at
acquisition) paid at closing, $2.1 million of notes
contributed, and up to an additional $6.0 million payable
in cash which is contingent on the businesses meeting certain
future revenue targets.

The operating results of these firms have been included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements since the dates
of acquisition. Pro forma information has not been provided as
the impact was not material to the financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. Client lists and
non-compete agreements were 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) was allocated to goodwill. Additions to goodwill,
client lists and other intangible assets resulting from
acquisitions and contingent consideration earned during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures |
From time to time, CBIZ will divest (through sale or closure)
business operations that are underperforming, located in
secondary markets, or do not provide the level of synergistic
cross-serving opportunities with other CBIZ businesses that is
desired. Divestitures are classified as discontinued operations
provided they meet the criteria as provided in SFAS 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.
During 2005, CBIZ closed an operation from the Accounting, Tax
and Advisory practice group, sold an operation from the Benefits
and Insurance practice group, and committed to the divestiture
of a business unit in the National Practices Other
practice group. These operations qualified for treatment as
discontinued operations and are classified as such in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Benefits and Insurance operation was sold for proceeds that
consisted of: $2.0 million cash received at closing;
$4.1 million due from others which is subject to adjustment
based upon actual cash collected on accounts receivable that
were sold; and contingent proceeds which are determined based
upon the divested operations actual future performance.
Contingent proceeds are recorded as gain on sale of discontinued
operations as they are earned, and totaled $4.6 million
(pretax) during the fourth quarter and year ended
December 31, 2005. Adjustments to the amount due from
others are recorded to the operations of discontinued
operations. During 2005, CBIZ also committed to the divestiture
of a business unit in the National Practices Other
practice group. CBIZ plans to divest of this business in two
portions, one of which will be sold and the other which will be
closed. The National Practices business operation will have
continuing cash flows in 2006, as the business will continue to
operate until sale and closure are complete. CBIZ expects the
closure to be completed by the third quarter of 2006, and
expects that the remaining portion will be sold before
December 31, 2006.
CBIZ also sold two client lists during 2005, one each from the
Accounting, Tax and Advisory and Benefits and Insurance practice
groups. These client lists were sold for aggregate proceeds of
$0.1 million cash and $0.2 million in net notes
receivable, and resulted in a pretax gain of $0.3 million.
As these sales did not qualify for treatment as discontinued
operations, the gains are reported as gain on sale of
operations, net from continuing operations in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.
During 2004, CBIZ sold or closed five business operations,
consisting of four ATA operations, and an operation from the
National Practices Other segment. In addition to the
divestiture of these operations, CBIZ sold three client lists
from the ATA practice group and a client list from the B&I
practice group. Sales were made for aggregate proceeds of
$4.6 million cash, $2.3 million in notes receivable
and CBIZ stock valued at $0.1 million. Three of the
divestitures qualified for treatment as discontinued operations
and are classified as such in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Operations that did not qualify for
treatment as discontinued
F-30
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
operations were sold for a pre-tax gain of $1.0 million,
which is reported as gain on sale of operations, net from
continuing operations.
During 2003, CBIZ sold or closed eight business operations
consisting of four ATA operations, two Benefit and Insurance
operations and two National Practice operations. CBIZ also sold
four client lists and related assets within the ATA practice
group. These businesses and client lists were sold for aggregate
proceeds of $7.2 million cash, $0.2 million in stock,
$0.4 million in notes receivable, and $0.1 million in
other receivables. Six of the business operations satisfied the
criteria for treatment as discontinued operations, and were
classified as such in the accompanying financial statements. The
two operations and client lists which did not qualify for
treatment as discontinued operations were sold for a pretax gain
of $2.5 million, which is reported as gain on sale of
operations, net from continuing operations.
CBIZ may earn additional proceeds on the sale of certain client
lists, which are contingent upon future revenue generated by the
client lists. CBIZ records these proceeds as other income when
they are earned.
For those business operations that qualified for treatment as
discontinued operations, the net assets, liabilities and results
of operations are reported separately in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Revenue and loss from
operations of discontinued operations for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 were as follows (in

During the fourth quarter of 2005, CBIZ recorded a
$4.6 million pre-tax gain on the disposal of discontinued
operations ($2.9 million net of tax). The gain recorded in
the fourth quarter represents contingent proceeds related to a
benefits and insurance operation that was sold in the third
quarter of 2005. Contingent proceeds are recorded as they are
earned, and are determined based upon the actual performance of
the business that was sold. Divestitures are further discussed
in Note 18.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, CBIZ recorded a
$3.5 million net tax benefit related primarily to a
favorable tax position which was successfully resolved upon
completion of the Internal Revenue Service examination for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000. In addition,
CBIZ recorded $0.4 million in interest income related to
the refund, which is recorded as other income (expense), net in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See
further discussion of the tax benefit and refund in Note 6.

20. Segment Disclosures
CBIZs business units have been aggregated into three
practice groups: Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services; Benefits
and Insurance; 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. Additionally, the business
units are managed along these segment lines, and each segment
line reports to a Practice Group Leader. The Medical Management
Professionals unit (CBIZ MMP), which reports under the National
Practices group, exceeds the quantitative threshold of
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, for aggregation and
therefore is reported as a separate segment.
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 infrastructure
functions (such as information systems, finance and accounting,
human resources, legal and marketing), which are reported in the
Corporate and Other segment.
Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services. The
Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services practice group offers
services in the following areas: cash flow management; strategic
planning; consulting; record-keeping; federal, state and local
tax return preparation; tax planning based on financial and
investment alternatives; tax structuring of business
transactions such as mergers and acquisitions; quarterly and
year-end payroll tax reporting; corporate, partnership and
fiduciary tax planning and return preparation; outsourced
financial staffing services including chief financial officer
services; financial investment analysis; succession, retirement,
and estate planning; profitability, operational and efficiency
enhancement consulting to a number of specialized industries;
litigation support services; internal audit services and
Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services.
Benefits and Insurance Services. The Benefits and
Insurance practice group offers services in the following areas:
employee benefits, brokerage, consulting, and administration,
including the design, implementation and administration of
qualified plans, such as 401(k) plans, profit-sharing plans,
defined benefit plans, and money purchase plans; actuarial
services; health and welfare benefits consulting, including
group health insurance plans; dental and vision care programs;
group life insurance programs; accidental death and
dismemberment and disability programs; COBRA administration and
voluntary insurance programs; health care and dependent care
spending accounts; premium reimbursement plans; communications
services to inform and educate employees about their benefit
programs; executive benefits consulting on non-qualified
retirement plans and business continuation plans; human capital
advisory services; specialty high-risk life insurance; and
wealth management services, including Registered Investment
Advisory Services, Investment Policy Statements, also known as
IPS, mutual fund selection based on IPS and ongoing mutual fund
monitoring.
National Practices. The National Practices group
offers services in the following areas: payroll processing and
administration; valuations of commercial, tangible, and
intangible assets and financial securities; mergers and
acquisitions and capital advisory services; health care
consulting; government relations; and technology consulting,
including strategic technology planning, project management,
development, network design and implementation and software
selection and implementation.
Medical Management Professionals. The CBIZ MMP
subsidiary of the National Practice group offers services to
hospital-based physicians in the following areas: billing and
accounts receivable management; coding and claims filing;
comprehensive delinquent claims follow up and collections;
compliance plans to meet government and other third party
regulations; local office management; and comprehensive
statistical and operational reporting; financial reporting,
accounts payable, payroll, general ledger processing; design and

negotiation strategies, pricing, cost containment and
utilization tracking; review and negotiation of hospital
contracts; evaluation of other strategic business partners;

integration opportunities; and coordination of practice
expansion efforts.

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 incentive compensation and consolidation and
integration charges.
CBIZ operates in the United States and Toronto, Canada and there
is no one customer that represents a significant portion of
sales.
Certain amounts in the 2004 and 2003 segment data have been
reclassified to account for the transfer of certain operations
from the Benefits and Insurance practice group to the
Accounting, Tax and Advisory practice group in January, 2005.
Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003 was as follows (in thousands):

STATEMENTS (Continued)
21. Subsequent Events
In January 2006, CBIZ completed the acquisitions of two
companies. Valley Global Insurance Brokers is a property and
casualty insurance broker focusing primarily on the construction
and technology industries. Valley Global Insurance Brokers is
located in San Jose, California and will complement our Benefits
and Insurance practice group. The TriMed Group provides medical
billing services and in-house computer systems primarily to
hospital-based physician practices. The TriMed Group is located
in Flint, Michigan and will be merged into CBIZs Medical
Management Professionals business.
In January 2006, CBIZ and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. extended the
term of their administrative service agreement through 2019,
which expiration date is subject to further extension upon
agreement by the Parties.
In January 2006, CBIZ acquired the trade name of a nationally
recognized practice which will be complementary to our
accounting, tax and advisory practice. Such trade name is being
licensed to Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. for a ten year period.
On February 9, 2006, CBIZs Board of Directors
authorized the purchase of up to 5.0 million shares of CBIZ
common stock through March 31, 2007. The shares may be
repurchased in the open market or through privately negotiated
purchases.
Effective February 13, 2006, CBIZ entered into a new
$100 million unsecured credit facility, with an option to
increase the commitment to $150 million. The credit
facility is maintained by Bank of America, N.A. as agent bank
for a group of five participating banks and has a five year term
expiring February 2011.
Effective February 21, 2006, CBIZs Board of Directors
granted 627,000 restricted performance shares pursuant to the
2002 Stock Incentive Plan. Performance awards will only vest and
become exercisable provided that CBIZ meets certain
pre-determined earnings per share targets at December 31,
2007.
