ROMAC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated Financial Statements
include the accounts of Romac International, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries. The Company completed its merger with Source Services Corporation
("Source") on April 20, 1998. The common stock of Source was converted to
shares of the Company using a 1.1351 ratio. This merger was accounted for under
the pooling of interests method; accordingly all historical results have been
restated to reflect the merger. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Interim Financial Information. The Consolidated Financial Statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in management's opinion, include all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for such interim periods.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however,
the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.
Revenue Recognition. Net service revenues consist of sales, net of
credits and discounts. The Company recognizes Flexible Billings based on hours
worked by assigned personnel on a weekly basis. Search Fees are recognized in
contingency search engagements upon the successful completion of the
assignment. For Source, the search fee policy in 1998 was that if an individual
fails to continue employment for a period of time as specified in the placement
agreement, generally a thirty-to-ninety day period, the Company is not entitled
to collect the search fee. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company
changed its guarantee policy at its former Source operations. Revenue from
search fees is shown on the Consolidated Statement of Operations net of amounts
written off for the adjustments due to placed candidates not remaining in
employment for the guarantee period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company classifies all highly-liquid
investments with an initial maturity of three months or less as cash
equivalents.
Self-insurance. The Company offers an employee benefit program with
Source through September 30, 1998 and for all eligible employees effective
October 1, 1998 for which it is self-insured for a portion of the cost. The
Company is liable for claims up to $125 per employee and aggregate claims up to
a defined yearly payment limit. All full-time employees and salaried
consultants are eligible to participate in the program. Self-insurance costs
are accrued using actuarial estimates to approximate the liability for reported
claims and claims incurred but not reported.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the
principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability
approach to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts
and the tax bases of other assets and liabilities. The tax effects of
deductions attributable to employees' disqualifying dispositions of shares
obtained from incentive stock options were reflected in additional paid-in
capital.
Foreign Currency Translation. Foreign currency translation adjustments
arise primarily from activities of the Company's Canadian operations. Results
of operations are translated using the average exchange rates during the
period, while assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using
current rates. Resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded
in Stockholder's Equity.
7
Earnings Per Share. Options to purchase 2,408 shares of common stock
were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1999, but were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options
were anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In June
1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. This statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contractors (collectively
referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It also requires that
all derivatives and hedging activities be recognized as either assets or
liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position and be measured at fair
value. The Company does not believe adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on the Company's financial performance or reporting and expects
to adopt this standard during the year ended December 31, 2000.
NOTE B -- MERGER, RESTRUCTURING, AND INTEGRATION EXPENSES
In connection with the Source merger, one-time merger, restructuring,
and integration related expenses were identified and recorded in 1998. As of
June 30, 1999, the remaining accrued expenses reserve balance associated with
the charge in 1998 were $1,644 of which $1,000 related to severance and other
termination related costs to be incurred in connection with anticipated staff
reductions and $600 costs in connection with consolidation of certain office
facilities and related equipment.
NOTE C -- SEGMENT ANALYSIS
In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS
131"). SFAS 131 supersedes SFAS 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a
Business Enterprise," replacing the "industry segment" approach with the
"management" approach of determining reportable segments of an organization.
The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by
management for making operation decisions and addressing performance as the
source of determining the Company's reportable segments. Beginning in 1997, the
Company revised its organizational structure to provide internal reporting
following its four functional service offerings, including: Information
Technology, Finance and Accounting, Human Resources and Operating Specialities.
8
The Company only generates information on sales and gross profit on a
functional basis, as such; asset information by segment is not disclosed.
Substantially all operations and long-lived assets are located in the US.

Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain items in Romac's consolidated
statement of operations, as a percentage of net service revenues, for the
indicated periods:
Six months ended June 30,
1999 1998
Flexible billings 80.3% 78.9%
Search Fees 19.7 21.1
Net service revenues 100.0 100.0
Gross profit 42.9 43.5
Selling, general, and administrative expenses 37.3 34.4
Income before taxes 4.1 2.4
Net income 2.5% .8%
Results of Operations for each of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
and 1998.
Net service revenues. Net service revenues increased 13.9% and 16.1%,
respectively, to $189.4 million and $373.5 million for the three and six month
periods ending June 30, 1999 as compared to $166.3 and $321.7 million for the
same periods in 1998. These increases were comprised of a $20.4 million and
$46.1 million increase in Flexible Billings (Professional Temporary and
Contract Services revenues combined) and a $2.7 million and $5.7 million
increase in Search fees for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1999, as described below.
10
Flexible billings increased 15.6% and 18.2%, respectively, to $151.2
million and $299.9 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods
ending June 30, 1999 as compared to $130.8 million and $253.8 million for the
same periods in 1998. These increases are a result of an increase in average
hours billed of 9.2% and 10.9%, respectively, for the three and six month
periods in 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998.
Search fees increased 7.6% and 8.4%, respectively, to $38.2 million
and $73.6 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1999 compared to $35.5 million and $67.9 million for the same periods in
1998. These increases resulted primarily from an increase in the average fee
for each placement made during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998. The number of search placements
made in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 did not vary
significantly from the same periods in 1998.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased 11.2% and 14.2%, respectively, to
$81.2 million and $160.0 million, respectively, during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $73.0 million and $140.1 million for
the same periods in 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of net service revenues
decreased to 42.9% for both the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1999 as compared to 43.9% and 43.5%, respectively for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily the result of the
continuing change in the Company's business mix whereby revenues from Flexible
Billings, traditionally lower gross margins than Search fees, increased to
79.9% and 80.3%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues for the three
and six months period ending June 30, 1999 as compared to 78.6% and 78.9% and
for the same periods in 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 36.8% and 25.9%, respectively, to $77.7
million and $139.3 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $56.8 million and $110.6 million,
respectively, for the same periods in 1998. The increases in selling, general,
and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
as compared to the same periods in 1998 were due principally to additional
compensation for field and field management; development, deployment, and
marketing of the KnowledgeForce Network; and automation and streamlining of
operating and back office processes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
service revenues increased to 41.0% and 37.3%, respectively, for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to 34.2% and 34.4%,respectively,
for the same periods in 1998. These increases in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net service revenues resulted
primarily from the increases in compensation expense as described above.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased 33.3% and 26.8%, respectively, to approximately $2.8 million
and $5.2 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1999 compared to approximately $2.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively,
for the same periods in 1998. Depreciation and amortization expense as a
percentage of net service revenues remained constant. The increase in
depreciation and amortization expense in the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 is due to the goodwill
amortization related to the settlement of earnout provisions completed during
the second half of 1998 and the final earnout settlement with Uni-Quality
Systems Solutions, Inc. in 1999. The additional depreciation expense in the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 is the result of the new technology
platform implemented at certain Source locations in the second half of 1998.
Merger, restructuring, and integration expenses. Merger and
integration expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased
100% compared to the same periods in 1998 is due to the completion of the
integration of the Source operations.
Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense decreased 72.7% and
54.2%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to the same periods in 1998. The decrease in
11
other income during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was due to
less interest income as cash declined as it was used to repurchase common
stock, fund payments of earnout provisions, and operating cash requirements.
Income Before Taxes. Income before taxes increased 130.3% and
118.4%,respectively, to $1.0 million and $16.6 million, respectively, for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 as compared to ($3.3) million
and $7.6 million for the same periods in 1998, primarily as a result of the
above factors.
Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased 75.0%
and 42.0% to $.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $.4 and $5.0 million for the same
periods in 1998. The effective tax rate comparison for the three months ended
June 30, is not meaningful due to the nondeductible merger expenses incurred in
the second quarter of 1998. The effective tax rate was 42.8% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to 66.1%, for the same period in 1998. The change
reflects the impact of revising earnings projected for 1999 in
the second quarter which effects the effective rate calculation for the year and
the reduction in 1999 of non-deductible merger-related expenses.
Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) increased approximately 108.1%
and 265.4%,respectively, to $.3 million and $9.5 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the ($3.7) million and $2.6 million
for the same periods in 1998. This increase is a result of the completion of
the merger, restructuring, and integration expenses in 1998 offset by the
increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three
months ended June 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1999, the Company's sources of liquidity included
approximately $41.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately
$81.2 million in additional net working capital. In addition, as of June 30,
1999, there were no amounts outstanding on the line of credit and $30.0 million
was available for borrowing under the Company's Line of Credit. The Company has
a Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement with NationsBank, N.A. (the "Line of
Credit"). The Line of Credit expires on March 31, 2000 and amounts outstanding
under the line of credit accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 65 basis
points above the 90-day London Interbank Offering interest rate ("LIBOR").
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash flow used by
operations was approximately $11.7 million , resulting primarily from net
income, non-cash expenses (depreciation and amortization) and decreases in
operating payroll liabilities and an increase in accounts receivable. The
increase in accounts receivable reflects the increased volume of business
during the first six months of 1999 from existing locations and an increase in
the days sales outstanding. The decrease in the operating payroll is due to an
change in the timing of the commission payroll payments of the former Source
employees from quarterly to monthly.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash flow used in investing
activities was approximately $7.3 million, resulting primarily from the
Company's use of approximately $8.6 million for the acquisition of two
companies and earnout payments and $7.4 million for capital expenditures.
Proceeds from investing activities of $12.0 million were received in the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from the sale of short term investments.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash flow used in financing
activities was approximately $8.1 million primarily from the Company's use of
approximately $8.7 million to repurchase common stock as discussed below.
12
On March 11, 1999, the Company announced that its board of directors
has authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of its common stock on the
open market, from time to time, depending on market conditions. This stock
repurchase plan may impact the Company's cash flow requirements in the next
twelve months. As of August 13, 1999, the Company has repurchased 1,625,000
shares for approximately $12.3 million. The Company believes that cash flow from
operations and borrowings under the Company's Line of Credit, or other credit
facilities that may become available to the Company in the future will be
adequate to meet the working capital requirements of the Company's current
operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company's estimate of the period
that existing resources will fund its working capital requirements and the
amount of stock that the Company will actually be able to repurchase in the next
12 months are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those indicated as a result of a
number of factors, including the use of such resources for possible acquisitions
and the announced stock repurchase plan.
YEAR 2000
Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using
two digits, rather than four, to specify years. As a result, such systems will
recognize the year 2000 as "00" or 1900. This could cause many computer
applications to fail completely or to create erroneous results unless
corrective measures are taken.
The Company utilizes software and computer technologies that are
essential to its operations. The Company continuously evaluates the ongoing and
expected future business and industry requirements of its internally developed
and externally purchased applications. These applications and technology
equipment are updated on a regular basis. The Company has not accelerated its
plans to replace or update existing systems because of the Year 2000 issue.
The Company has implemented a four step process to address Year 2000
issues consisting of assessment/overview (identify the issues); discovery
(inventory, categorize, and assess business impacts and risks); conversion
(make program changes, rollout new hardware, perform applications and
acceptance testing, and certification), and deployment (deploy program and
hardware changes, evaluate and apply lessons learned). After the Company
completed the assessment/overview phase, the Company hired an independent third
party to perform the discovery phase and make recommendations on the assessment
of business risks. This study concluded that the greatest risk faced by the
Company's Internal Systems are the hardware system that operates the telephone
voicemail systems at certain locations and the Wizard NT operating system
software that must be upgraded from 3.51 to 4.01 Service Pak 4. As of June 30,
1999, the Company reached 100% completion of the deployment phase of all high
risk areas.
The Company is working with key third party vendors to understand
their ability to continue to provide services and products through the change
to 2000. The Company intends to continue to partner with its key third party
vendors to avoid any business interruptions in 2000. The Company is dependent
upon its customers for sales and cash flow. The Company currently does not
believe that it is subject to significant business risks related to its
customers' and suppliers' Year 2000 efforts, although if the Company's
customers or vendors experience Year 2000 problems, the Company's results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.
The effect of Year 2000 interruptions on the Company and our
customer's operations is difficult to predict because flexible staffing could
be a vehicle that the Company's customer's may use to correct the effect of
Year 2000 disruptions in their business. The Company will continue to monitor
the status of its customers and key strategic partners as a means of
determining risks and alteratives. The Company is also in the process of
developing contingency plans with regards to the high risk areas described
above as well as areas of medium risk which the Company believes do not have
the potential of material disruption to the business.
13
The Company estimates that the total cost of the project will be
approximately $1.3 million which includes both personnel costs related to
project management, programming, and hardware and software upgrades. Of this
total, approximately $1.2 million had been incurred as of June 30, 1999. The
cost of the project and the estimated completion dates are based upon
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing assumptions of future
events, including the continued availability of certain resources, third-party
modification plans and other factors. There can be no assurance that these
estimates will prove accurate, and actual results could differ from those
estimated if these assumptions prove inaccurate.
The Year 2000 discussion includes forward-looking statements,
therefore there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience Year
2000 problems. However, based upon the progress to date, the Company believes
that it is unlikely that the actual results will differ significantly from
those estimated and that the Year 2000 compliance will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition.
