AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The 1997 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's audited financial statements which have been restated to include the results of acquisitions accounted for as poolings (see Note 3), but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", on January 1, 1998. As required by the Statement, the Company displays the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. Items considered to be other comprehensive income are the adjustments made for unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities. Comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $7.7 million and $1.2 respectively. Comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $14.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share are based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period and such shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock (in thousands, except per share data): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Numerator: Income used in basic and diluted earnings per share $ 7,869 $ 2,468 $14,905 $ 4,458 Denominator: Basic weighted average shares 52,613 37,775 50,083 37,225 Effect of dilutive stock options and warrants 15,677 11,225 15,499 11,245 ------- ------- ------- ------- Diluted weighted average shares 68,290 49,000 65,582 48,470 ======= ======= ======= ======= Basic earnings per share $ 0.15 $ 0.07 $ 0.30 $ 0.12 ======= ======= ======= ======= Diluted earnings per share $ 0.12 $ 0.05 $ 0.23 $ 0.09 ======= ======= ======= ======= 3. ACQUISITIONS During the second quarter 1998, the Company continued its strategic acquisition program, acquiring the businesses of sixteen complementary companies. These acquisitions comprised the following: five accounting, consulting and tax advisory businesses, three benefits design, consulting and administration firms, one business valuation firm, one commercial insurance agency, one organizational consulting and training firm, one employee benefits management and consulting firm, one healthcare consulting firm, one managed healthcare marketing and administration firm, one pension administration and investment services firm and one information technology company. -6- 7 CENTURY BUSINESS SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - (continued) 3. ACQUISITIONS (continued) Eleven of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and accordingly, the operating results of the acquired companies have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $45.070 million, and includes future contingent consideration of up to $3.742 million in cash and $9.750 million of restricted common stock of the Company (estimated stock value at date of acquisition), based on the acquired companies' ability to meet certain performance goals. The aggregate purchase price, excluding future contingent consideration, has been allocated to the net assets of the Company based upon their respective fair market values. The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below give effect to the acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1998 and January 1, 1997. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had these transactions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net revenues - pro forma $ 72,240 $43,352 $149,131 $ 81,912 Net income - pro forma $ 8,170 $ 5,298 $ 16,729 $ 10,117 Earnings per share pro forma - - Basic $ 0.15 $ 0.13 $ 0.32 $ 0.24 - Diluted $ 0.12 $ 0.10 $ 0.25 $ 0.19 The Company exchanged 1.975 million shares of its common stock for all of the common stock of the five acquisitions accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to include the results of the pooled entities for all periods presented. The combined and separate results of the Company and the pooled entities during the periods preceding the combination were as follows (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,1998 JUNE 30, 1997 JUNE 30, 1997 ------------- ------------- ------------- Revenues: Company $59,215 $21,088 $37,384 Pooled entities 5,193 4,891 9,781 -------- ------- ------- Combined $64,408 $25,979 $47,165 ======== ======= ======= Net Income: Company $ 6,367 $ 2,054 $ 3,629 Pooled entities 669 414 829 -------- ------- ------- Combined $ 7,036 $ 2,468 $ 4,458 ======== ======= ======= -7- 8 CENTURY BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Since June 30, 1998, the Company has closed the following four acquisitions: one national franchisor of financial and tax services, two accounting, consulting and tax advisory businesses and one property tax management and consulting firm. In addition, the Company has announced the acquisition of twelve additional companies which include the following: ten accounting, consulting and tax advisory businesses and two benefits design, consulting and administration firms. The combined cost of these transactions is approximately $36.584 million in cash, $44.160 million of restricted Company common stock, and $6.321 million of unrestricted Company common stock. On August 10, 1998, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility dated October 3, 1997 which resulted in an increase in the amount of available credit from $50 million to $100 million and a change in the term from three to five years. Other than that noted above, there were no other substantial changes in terms or conditions. 5. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation. -8- 9 CENTURY BUSINESS SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Century Business Services, Inc. ("the Company") is a leading provider of outsourced business services to small and medium sized companies throughout the United States. The Company provides integrated services in the following areas: accounting systems, advisory and tax, employee benefits design and administration, human resources, information technology systems, payroll administration, specialty insurance, valuation, and workers' compensation. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues Total revenues increased to $69.7 million and $134.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $26.0 million and $47.2 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition activity in outsourced business services. Business service fees and commissions increased to $56.3 million and $108.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $15.0 million and $26.0 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed in 1998. Due to the majority of recent acquisitions having been accounted for under the purchase method, the Company's consolidated financial statements give effect to such acquisitions only from their respective acquisition dates. Premiums earned increased to $11.3 million and $21.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $8.4 million and $16.4 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase in premiums earned was primarily attributable to the growth in surety bonds and commercial liability premiums over 1997 levels, the introduction of workers compensation coverage emanating from an August 1997 business transaction and the assumption of contract surety premiums under a certain reinsurance agreement entered into in 1997. Net investment income increased to $1.2 million and $2.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the comparable periods in 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to increased invested assets. Net realized gain on investments decreased to $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the comparable periods in 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to the composition of investments sold during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 versus the comparable periods in 1997. Expenses Total expenses increased to $57.5 million and $111.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $22.6 million and $40.4 million for the comparable periods in 1997. Such increase was primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses, which reflects the impact of the Company's acquisitions made in 1998 and the corresponding increase of corporate staff and related integration costs. As a percentage of revenues, total expenses decreased to 82.4% and 87.0% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 83.0% and 85.7% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Operating expenses for the business services operations increased to $43.2 million and $83.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $12.6 million and $21.5 million for the comparable periods in 1997. Such increase was attributable to business services acquisitions completed in 1998. As a percentage of fees and commissions, operating expenses decreased to 76.6% and 84.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 76.9% and 82.8% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. -9- 10 Loss and loss adjustment expenses increased to $5.2 million and $10.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $4.6 million and $9.4 million for the comparable periods in 1997. Such increase was attributable to increased premium volume for commercial liability coverage and workers compensation. As a percentage of premiums earned, loss and loss adjustment expenses decreased to 45.6% and 55.0% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 49.5% and 57.4% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such decreases were the result of better than expected incurred loss results for certain lines of business. Policy acquisition and other expenses increased to $5.6 million and $10.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $3.5 million and $6.8 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase corresponds primarily to the increase in premium volume and regionalization of the property and casualty operation. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $1.8 million and $3.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the comparable periods in 1997. Such increase was attributable to the expanding of the corporate function to accommodate the Company's acquisition strategy. Corporate general and administrative expenses represented 2.6% and 4.8% of total revenues for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 2.5% and 3.4% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $1.8 million and $3.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $1.0 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase is a result of the increase of goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisitions completed by the Company in 1998 and 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense was 2.6% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and was 2.6% and 2.2% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such increase was attributable to the implementation of the Company's acquisition strategy. OTHER The Company's 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet includes net increase in goodwill of $78.0 million since December 31, 1997 and relates to goodwill recorded in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16 upon the consummation of seventeen acquisitions which were accounted for as purchases during 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first six months of 1998, cash and cash equivalents increased $25.8 million as cash generated from financing activities of $70.2 million exceeded cash used in operating activities of $0.8 million and cash used in investing activities of $43.7 million. The normal seasonal changes occurred between year-end and the end of the second quarter and resulted in increased accounts receivable and premiums receivable. Cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of investment activity, new business acquisitions, and capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds received from a private placement of 3.8 million shares during the first quarter 1998. YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE The Company has begun to modify its information systems to enable proper processing of transactions relating to the year 2000 and beyond. Project completion is planned for the end of 1998. The Company is expensing as incurred all costs associated with these system changes and such costs are not expected to exceed $2.0 million. Most of such costs will be incurred in the latter part of 1998 and will be funded from operations. -10- 11 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements included in the Form 10-Q, which are not historical in nature, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms as "intends", "estimates", "expects", "projects", anticipates", "seeks", "believes", and "scheduled". Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties or assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Although the Company believes that the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations ("Cautionary Statements") include: (i) the Company's ability to grow through acquisitions of strategic and complementary businesses; (ii) the Company's ability to finance such acquisitions; (iii) the Company's ability to manage growth; (iv) the Company's ability to integrate the operations of the acquired businesses; (v) the Company's ability to share, retrieve, process and manage significant databases; (vi) the Company's ability to attract and retain experienced personnel; (vii) the Company's ability to manage pricing of its insurance products and adequately reserve for losses; (viii) the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulations affecting the Company's operations; and (ix) market fluctuations in the values or returns on assets in the Company's investment portfolios. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified by the Cautionary Statements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and does not purchase hedging instruments or "other than trading" instruments that are likely to expose the Company to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. The Company has issued no debt instruments, entered into no forward or futures contracts, purchased no options and entered into no swaps. The Company's primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate risk. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the Reference Rate set by the Bank of America (San Francisco), would affect the rate at which the Company could borrow funds under its Credit Facility.
