NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements.
 
    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of CBIZ, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (CBIZ) as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Due to seasonality, potential changes in economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors, the results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CBIZ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, with subsequent reclassifications made thereto as filed on our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006 (collectively referred to as “Annual Report”).
 
    Organization
 
    CBIZ is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, provides professional business services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and Toronto, Canada. During the first quarter of 2006, CBIZ realigned its operations into four client-centric practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Service, Medical Management Professionals, and National Practices. A further description of changes made during the first quarter of 2006, as well as products and services offered by each of the practice groups, is provided in Note 9.
 
    Principles of Consolidation
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of CBIZ and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. See further discussion under “Variable Interest Entities” 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. Management’s 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. Management’s 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 2005 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications include: interest income earned by our payroll unit previously reported as “other income” which is now reported as revenue; and certain expenses reimbursable to CBIZ by its clients previously netted against revenue which are now reported as operating expenses. These reclassifications did not impact CBIZ’s reported income from continuing operations.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
    Prior period financial statements and disclosures have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations. In addition, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 CBIZ has separately disclosed the operating and investing portions of the cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations, which were combined and reported as a single amount in the comparable period of 2005. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. There were no financing activities attributable to the operations of discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 or 2005.
 
    Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues
 
    Revenue is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our fee to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria are in accordance with GAAP and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). CBIZ offers a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services are delivered through four practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those groups, is provided below.
 
    Financial Services — Revenue consists primarily of fees for accounting services, preparation of tax returns, consulting services including Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance projects, and valuation services including 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 based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses. The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in which the change becomes known.
 
    Through one of its Financial Services units, CBIZ provides flexible benefits administration services to clients, grants access of its proprietary software to third parties, and provides hosting services 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.
 
    Employee Services — Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions, payroll service fees, interest on client funds, and fee income for administering health and retirement plans. A description of the revenue recognition, based on the service provided, insurance product sold, and billing arrangement, is described below.
    Commissions relating to brokerage and agency activities whereby CBIZ has primary responsibility for the collection of premiums from insured’s (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, and reserves for estimated policy cancellations and terminations. The cancellation and termination reserve is based upon estimates and assumptions using historical cancellation and termination experience and other current factors to project future experience. CBIZ periodically reviews the adequacy of the reserve and makes adjustments as necessary. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different results.
 
    Commissions which are based upon certain performance targets are recognized at the earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved, or cash collection.
 
    Fee income 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.
 
    Payroll— Revenue is recognized when the actual payroll processing occurs.

Table of Contents

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
    Medical Management Professionals— 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 by our clients on their patient accounts.
 
    National Practices— The business units that comprise this practice group offer a variety of services. A description of revenue recognition associated with the primary services is provided below.
    Technology Consulting — Revenue 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 over the period of the agreement. Consulting revenue is recognized on an hourly or per diem fee basis as services are performed.
 
    Health Care Consulting— CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses, or as a percentage of savings after contingencies have been resolved and verified by a third party.
 
    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.
    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 CBIZ’s 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.
 
    Operating Expenses
 
    Operating expenses represent costs of service and other costs incurred to operate our business units, and are primarily comprised of personnel and occupancy related expenses. Personnel costs include base compensation, commissions, payroll taxes, income or losses earned on assets of the deferred compensation plan, and benefits, which are recognized as expense as they are incurred. Personnel costs also include stock-based and incentive compensation costs, which are estimated and accrued on a monthly basis. The ultimate determination of incentive compensation is made after year-end results are finalized, and therefore estimates are subject to change. Total personnel costs were $94.7 million and $88.2 million for the three months ended and $296.2 million and $269.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
    The largest components of occupancy costs are rent expense and utilities. Base rent expense is recognized over respective lease terms, while utilities and common area maintenance charges are recognized as incurred. Total occupancy costs were $9.5 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended and $28.4 million and $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
    Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
    CBIZ carries accounts receivable at their face amount less allowances for doubtful accounts, and carries unbilled revenues at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectibility of receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the overall collectibility of receivables, CBIZ analyzes historical bad debts, client credit-worthiness, the age of accounts receivable and current economic trends and conditions.

    Funds Held for Clients and Client Fund Obligations
 
    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 amount 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.
 
    Stock-Based Awards
 
    On January 1, 2006, CBIZ adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation cost for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R also amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits, as defined, realized from the exercise of stock options be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flows from operations. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which summarizes the SEC’s views regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as the SEC’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements. CBIZ applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.
 
    Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, CBIZ accounted for its stock-based compensation related to stock options under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and the disclosure alternative prescribed by SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Accordingly, CBIZ presented pro forma information for the periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and no compensation cost was recognized for stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006.
 
    CBIZ adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, CBIZ has recorded stock compensation expense for all awards granted after the adoption date (January 1, 2006) and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding with unrecognized expense as of the adoption date. Expense recognized for the unvested portion of awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, are based on the estimated grant date fair value as determined under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. CBIZ’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.
 
    CBIZ recognizes stock-based compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of up to five years. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount of expense recognized. Forfeiture estimates will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In CBIZ’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for periods prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, CBIZ accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in operating expenses or corporate general and administrative expenses depending on where the respective individual’s compensation is recorded.

    CBIZ utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted during 2006 and 2005 were determined using the following weighted average assumptions:
                 
    2006   2005
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted
  $ 3.59     $ 1.65  
Expected volatility (1)
    48.23 %     49.71 %
Expected option life (years) (2)
    4.25       5.00  
Risk-free interest rate (3)
    4.85 %     3.90 %
Expected dividend yield (4)
    0.00 %     0.00 %
 
(1)   The expected volatility assumption was determined based upon the historical volatility of CBIZ’s stock price, using daily price intervals. CBIZ believes that the future volatility of its stock price will not differ significantly from its history.
 
(2)   The expected option life assumption was determined by considering the vesting and contractual terms of the respective options.
 
(3)   The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a term approximating the expected life of the respective options.
 
(4)   The expected dividend yield assumption was determined in view of CBIZ’s historical and estimated dividend payouts. CBIZ does not expect to change its dividend payout policy in the foreseeable future.
    CBIZ has granted various stock-based awards under its 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan and 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, which are described in further detail in our 2005 Annual Report. The terms and vesting schedules for stock-based awards vary by type and date of grant. Compensation cost recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for these awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was as follows (in thousands):

Total stock-based compensation expense
  $ 1,123     $ 62     $ 2,777     $ 160  
 
                       
    At September 30, 2006, CBIZ had unrecognized compensation costs for non-vested stock awards as follows: $3.4 million for stock options; $1.5 million for restricted stock awards; and $2.8 million for restricted performance awards, to be recognized over weighted average periods of approximately 3.0 years, 3.1 years and 1.3 years, respectively.
 
    Stock options granted prior to 2006 were generally subject to a 20% incremental vesting schedule over a five-year period commencing from the date of grant. Stock options granted in 2006 are subject to a 25% incremental vesting schedule over a four-year period commencing from the date of grant. Stock options expire six years from the date of grant, and are awarded with an exercise price equal to the market value of CBIZ’s common stock on the date of grant.

    Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants, and are granted at no cost to the recipients. Recipients of restricted stock awards are entitled to the same dividend and voting rights as holders of other CBIZ common stock. Shares granted under the plan cannot be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned during the vesting period (generally two to five years from the grant date), and awards are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of restrictions. Restricted stock awards are considered to be issued and outstanding shares of common stock from the date of grant. The market value of shares awarded is recorded against additional paid-in capital, and is expensed ratably over the period which the restrictions lapse.
 
    Restricted performance awards were granted in the first quarter of 2006, and will only vest and become exercisable provided that CBIZ meets a pre-determined earnings per share target for the year ending December 31, 2007. The market value of shares awarded is being expensed ratably over the performance period. If it becomes improbable that the earnings per share target will be achieved, previously recognized expense will be reversed.

Variable Interest Entities
In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46), as amended, CBIZ has determined that its relationship with certain Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms with whom we maintain administrative service agreements (ASAs) qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect the consolidation of the variable interest entities, as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. CBIZ adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006; adoption did not have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
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 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. CBIZ adopted the provisions of FSP No. FAS 13-1 on January 1, 2006 . Adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions and requires applying a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of FIN 48 on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, rather it applies under existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 permits registrants to record the cumulative effect of initial adoption by recording the necessary “correcting” adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings only if material under the dual method. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SAB 108 on the consolidated financial statements.

Client lists are amortized over periods not exceeding ten years. Other intangibles, which consist primarily of non-compete agreements and trade-names, are amortized over periods ranging from two to ten years. Amortization expense for client lists and other intangible assets was approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended and $3.4 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2006, CBIZ acquired the trade name of a nationally recognized practice which complements our Financial Services practice group. The trade name is recorded as “intangible assets — other” and is being amortized over ten years. The use of the trade name is currently licensed to Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. through January 1, 2016.
4.   Borrowing Arrangements
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
On May 30, 2006, CBIZ sold and issued $100.0 million in convertible senior subordinated notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Notes”). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of CBIZ and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of CBIZ’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, CBIZ entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of May 30, 2006, with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.125% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1 beginning December 1, 2006. During the period commencing on June 6, 2011, and each six-month period from June 1 to November 30 or from December 1 to May 31 thereafter, CBIZ will pay contingent interest during the applicable interest period if the average “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture ) of a Note for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Notes. The contingent interest will equal 0.25% per annum calculated on the average trading price of a Note for the relevant five trading day period.
CBIZ received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $97.0 million, after deducting discounts and estimated offering expenses of approximately $3.0 million. Net proceeds from the sale were used to repurchase 6.6 million shares of CBIZ common stock at a cost of approximately $52.5 million (concurrent with closing the Notes), and to repay the outstanding balance under the $100.0 million unsecured credit facility (described in further detail below). Approximately $3.2 million in debt issuance costs related to the Notes, have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over a period of five years.
The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture. The Notes mature on June 1, 2026 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. CBIZ may redeem the Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, anytime after June 6, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption. In addition, holders of the Notes will have the right to require CBIZ to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes on June 1, 2011, June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including, the date of repurchase. The Notes are convertible into CBIZ common stock at a rate equal to 94.1035 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.63 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, CBIZ will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the conversion value (as defined in the Indenture) and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds $1,000, at CBIZ’s election, cash or shares of CBIZ common stock in respect of the remainder.
If CBIZ undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require CBIZ to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any.
The carrying amount of convertible senior subordinated notes approximates fair value.
Bank Debt
Bank debt balances at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
                 
    2006     2005  
Revolving credit facility

(1)   Rates are provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.
CBIZ maintains a $100.0 million unsecured credit facility (facility) with Bank of America as agent bank for a group of five participating banks. The facility has a five year term expiring February 2011, and an option to increase the commitment to $150.0 million. The facility was amended in May 2006, principally to permit CBIZ to issue up to $100.0 million of convertible senior subordinated notes as described above. The amendment did not materially impact any other terms or conditions of the credit facility. Management believes that the carrying amount of bank debt approximates its fair value, and CBIZ had approximately $88.7 million of available funds under the facility at September 30, 2006.
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 22.5 to 47.5 basis points is charged on the unused portion of the facility.
The facility is subject to certain financial covenants that may limit CBIZ’s ability to borrow up to the total commitment amount. Covenants require CBIZ to meet certain requirements with respect to (i) minimum net worth; (ii) maximum leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The facility also places restrictions on CBIZ’s ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to make certain payments, investments, loans and guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. According to the terms of the facility, CBIZ is not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other than dividend payments made by one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to the parent company. The facility contains a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the facility may be terminated.
There are no limitations on CBIZ’s ability to acquire businesses or repurchase CBIZ common stock provided that the leverage ratio (total debt compared to EBITDA as defined by the facility) is less than 2.0.

5.   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 discussed in Note 7.
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 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. In addition, CBIZ provides bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of bonds outstanding at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
CBIZ acted as guarantor on various letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an affiliation, which totaled $1.7 million and $2.4 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s 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.
Indemnifications
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. 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, CBIZ’s 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 CBIZ’s obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2006, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, payments regarding such contracts and arrangements were not material.
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.

(1)   A total of 0.7 million options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and a total of 0.6 million options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as their exercise prices would render them anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were less than 0.1 million.
 
(2)   Contingent shares represent additional shares to be issued for purchase price earned by former owners of businesses acquired by CBIZ once future conditions have been met.
 
(3)   As described in Note 4, the convertible senior subordinated notes (“Notes”) are convertible, under certain circumstances, into a combination of cash and common stock of the Company. The conversion price is approximately $10.63 per share of common stock. As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s market price per share had not exceeded the conversion price of the Notes. Under the net share settlement method there were no potential shares issuable under the Notes that were considered dilutive.
7.   Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, CBIZ acquired a medical billing services company based in Flint, Michigan which was merged into the Medical Management Professionals practice group. Additionally, CBIZ acquired a property and casualty insurance broker located in San Jose, California, an insurance business offering property and casualty, commercial bonds and employee benefits with offices in St. Joseph and Kansas City, Missouri, and two client lists which complement the Employee Services practice group. Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $13.5 million in cash (net of cash acquired) and 232,400 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $1.5 million) paid at closing, and up to an additional $9.6 million (payable in cash and stock) which is contingent upon the future financial performance of the acquired businesses and client lists. In addition, CBIZ paid approximately $7.1 million in cash and issued approximately 159,000 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as contingent proceeds and towards notes payable for previous acquisitions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, CBIZ acquired three business operations consisting of: a registered investment firm in Cleveland, Ohio which complements the Employee Services practice; and an accounting and consulting practice in San Diego, California and a valuation business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which are reported as part of the Financial Services practice group. 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, which are reported as part of the Financial Services and Employee Services practice groups, respectively. 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 future financial performance of the acquired businesses and client lists. In addition, CBIZ paid approximately $4.4 million in cash and issued approximately 23,900 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as contingent proceeds and towards notes payable for previous acquisitions.
The operating results of these businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows (in thousands):
                 
    2006     2005  
Goodwill
  $ 4,495     $ 3,198  
 
           
Client lists
  $ 15,084     $ 5,605  
 
           
Other intangible assets
  $ 412     $ 597  
 
           
8. 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 the second quarter of 2006, CBIZ sold an operation from the Financial Services practice group which was classified as available for sale at March 31, 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, the unit was written down to its fair value, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.2 million. CBIZ also sold certain property tax operations from a business unit in the National Practices group during the second quarter of 2006. The business was classified as a discontinued operation in 2005, and the sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.5 million. These losses are included in “gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax”, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Aggregate proceeds from these sales consisted of approximately $1.7 million cash and $0.2 million in notes.
During 2005, CBIZ closed an operation from the Financial Services practice group, sold an operation from the Employee Services practice group, and committed to the divestiture of a business unit in the National Practices group. These operations qualified for treatment as discontinued operations and are classified as such in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Employee Services operation was sold during the third quarter of 2005, 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

operation’s actual future performance. Contingent proceeds are recorded as they are earned, and are included in “gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The sale of the Employee Services operation resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million at closing, and contingent proceeds earned by CBIZ during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled approximately $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2006 CBIZ received a payment of $5.6 million for contingent proceeds earned through March 31, 2006.
In addition to the businesses previously discussed, CBIZ sold two client lists from the Employee Services practice group during the second quarter of 2006. The client lists were sold for notes totaling approximately $0.1 million. Gain on the sale of the client lists was deferred, and the deferred gain is recorded as “other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Sale of the client lists did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations, and as such the gain will be recorded in continuing operations as “gain on sale of operations, net” as cash payments are received. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, gain on sale of operations related to these client lists totaled $7,000 and $14,000, respectively.
CBIZ also sold a client list from the Benefits and Insurance practice group during the third quarter of 2005, which did not qualify for treatment as a discontinued business. The client list was sold for proceeds of approximately $29,000 cash, and resulted in a pretax gain of $29,000 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 (sold in previous years), which are contingent upon future revenue generated by the client lists. CBIZ records these proceeds as other income when they are earned.
For those businesses that qualified for treatment as discontinued operations, the assets, liabilities and results of operations are reported separately in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Revenue and results from operations of discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, were as follows (in thousands):

9. Segment Disclosures
CBIZ’s business units have been aggregated into four practice groups: Financial Services; Employee Services; Medical Management Professionals; and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines.
During the first quarter of 2006, CBIZ realigned its operations into four client-centric practice groups, and changed the names of those practice groups to encompass the comprehensive range of services offered by each of the respective groups. Changes made to CBIZ’s practice groups during the first quarter of 2006 were as follows:
    Financial Services: The Financial Services practice group was formerly referred to as “Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services”. In addition, CBIZ Valuation Group was transferred from National Practices into Financial Services during the first quarter of 2006.
 
    Employee Services: The Employee Services practice group was formerly referred to as “Benefits and Insurance Services”. In addition, CBIZ Payroll Services was transferred from National Practices into Employee Services during the first quarter of 2006.
 
    Medical Management Professionals: Medical Management Professionals (CBIZ MMP) is an individual practice group. Historically, CBIZ MMP was reported and managed within National Practices.
 
    National Practices: The National Practices group is primarily comprised of business units offering technology services to clients, as well as other units whose individual size do not meet quantitative thresholds as provided by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. During the first quarter of 2006, CBIZ Valuation Group and CBIZ Payroll Services were transferred out of National Practices into Financial Services and Employee Services, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
Prior period financial statements have been reclassified to reflect these changes in segment reporting. Although financial results for the individual practice groups have changed, there was no impact to CBIZ’s consolidated financial statements as a result of these reclassifications. A detailed description of services offered by each of the practice groups are provided in the paragraphs below.
Financial Services. The Financial Services practice group offers services in the following areas: general accounting services, 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; 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; Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services; and valuations of commercial, tangible, and intangible assets and financial securities.
Employee Services. The Employee Services 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; ongoing mutual fund monitoring; and payroll processing and administration.
Medical Management Professionals. CBIZ MMP 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 implementation of managed care contracts with focus on negotiation strategies, pricing, cost containment and utilization tracking; review and negotiation of hospital contracts; evaluation of other strategic business partners; identification and coordination of practice manager and integration opportunities; coordination of practice expansion efforts; statement mailing operation; and turn-key billing system sales and support.
National Practices. The National Practices group offers services in the following areas: mergers and acquisitions; 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.
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 stock-based and incentive compensation, and infrastructure costs (as described below).
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 as operating expenses in the “Corporate and Other” segment.

10. Subsequent Events
Effective November 2, 2006, CBIZ appointed a new director, Michael H. DeGroote. Concurrent with this appointment, the Board of Directors announced the resignation of Gary H. DeGroote from his board position. Michael H. DeGroote and Gary H. DeGroote are both sons of CBIZ founder Michael G. DeGroote; collectively, the DeGroote family owns approximately 22% of CBIZ’s total shares outstanding on September 30, 2006.
In November 2006, CBIZ acquired a client list in Minneapolis, Minnesota that complements our Financial Services practice.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we”, “our”, “CBIZ”, or the “Company” shall mean CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its operating subsidiaries.
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of CBIZ’s financial position at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, with subsequent reclassifications made thereto as filed on our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006 (collectively referred to as “Annual Report”).
Executive Summary
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 four practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services, Medical Management Professionals, and National Practices. These practice groups were realigned during the first quarter of 2006, reinforcing CBIZ’s client-centric model. Changes made to realign the practice groups are discussed in further detail under “Business Services – Operating Practice Groups” below.
CBIZ’s business strategy is to grow in the professional business services industry by:
    offering a wide array of infrastructure support services;
 
    cross-serving these services to our existing client base;
 
    attracting new clients with our diverse business services offerings; and
 
    developing our core service offerings in target markets through internal growth and selective acquisitions.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2006, CBIZ acquired three businesses. The TriMed Group, which is reported with our Medical Management Professionals group, is based in Flint, Michigan and provides medical billing services and in-house computer systems primarily to hospital-based physician practices in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Valley Global Insurance Brokers, and Burnham Colman Kaelin and Walker Insurance Agency (BCKW) are reported with our Employee Services practice group. Valley Global Insurance Brokers is a property and casualty insurance broker located in San Jose, California and BCKW is an insurance agency offering property and casualty, commercial bonds and employee benefits with offices in St. Joseph and Kansas City, Missouri.
In January 2006, CBIZ and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. extended the term of their administrative service agreement through 2019. The expiration date is subject to further extension upon agreement by both parties. Administrative service agreements are described in further detail under “Business Services – Financial Services” below.
In January 2006, CBIZ acquired the trade name of a nationally recognized practice which complements our Financial Services practice group. The use of the trade name is currently licensed to Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. through January 1, 2016.
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 the nine months ended September 30, 2006, CBIZ sold two business operations which were classified as discontinued operations. These sales consisted of an accounting and tax practice that was previously reported as part of the Financial Services practice group, and an operation offering property tax services that was previously reported as part of the National Practices group.

Table of Contents

On January 1, 2006, CBIZ adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation cost for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. CBIZ adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, and accordingly our consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. The impact to CBIZ of the adoption of SFAS 123R is discussed in further detail in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included herewith.
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 plans allowing CBIZ to repurchase up to 15.0 million shares of its common stock through March 31, 2007. Pursuant to the repurchase plans, CBIZ purchased 8.1 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $62.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Of these repurchases, approximately 6.6 million shares were repurchased at a cost of $52.5 million, concurrent with closing the convertible senior subordinated notes (described below).
Effective February 13, 2006, CBIZ entered into a new $100.0 million unsecured credit facility, with an option to increase the commitment to $150.0 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. The credit facility was amended in May 2006, principally to permit CBIZ to issue up to $100.0 million convertible senior subordinated notes (discussed below). The amendment did not materially change any of the other terms or conditions of the credit facility.
On May 30, 2006, CBIZ completed a $100.0 million offering of convertible senior subordinated notes (“Notes”) due in 2026. Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to repurchase 6.6 million shares of CBIZ common stock at a cost of approximately $52.5 million (concurrent with closing the Notes), and to repay the outstanding balance under the $100.0 million unsecured credit facility.
On May 22, 2006, CBIZ filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to update historical financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Financial statements were updated for the presentation of a business unit as a discontinued operation, to reflect the change in our reporting segments (discussed below), and to reflect certain other reclassifications. Under requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the same classification as discontinued operations required by SFAS No. 144 is also required for previously issued financial statements included in Form 10-K, if those financial statements are incorporated by reference in filings with the SEC made under the Securities Act of 1933 even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the business operation being classified as a discontinued operation.
Effective August 4, 2006, CBIZ transferred the listing of its common stock to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the new symbol “CBZ.” CBIZ believes that being traded on the NYSE provides recognition of our growth, stability, market position and business conduct. CBIZ also expects that being traded on the NYSE will broaden our name recognition, improve our market liquidity, and assist in recruiting and acquisitions.
Business Services
Operating Practice Groups
During the first quarter of 2006, CBIZ realigned its operations into four client-centric practice groups, and changed the names of those practice groups to encompass the comprehensive range of services offered by each of the respective groups. Changes made to CBIZ’s practice groups during the first quarter of 2006 were as follows:
    Financial Services: The Financial Services group was formerly referred to as “Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services”. In addition, CBIZ Valuation Group was transferred from National Practices into Financial Services during the first quarter of 2006.
 
    Employee Services: The Employee Services practice group was formerly referred to as “Benefits and Insurance Services”. In addition, CBIZ Payroll Services was transferred from National Practices into Employee Services during the first quarter of 2006.
 
    Medical Management Professionals: Medical Management Professionals (CBIZ MMP) is an individual practice group. Historically, CBIZ MMP was reported and managed within National Practices.

25


Table of Contents

    National Practices: The National Practices group is primarily comprised of business units offering technology services to clients, as well as other units whose individual size do not meet quantitative thresholds as provided by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. During the first quarter of 2006, CBIZ Valuation Group and CBIZ Payroll Services were transferred out of National Practices into Financial Services and Employee Services, respectively.
Prior period financial statements have been reclassified to reflect these changes in segment reporting. Although financial results for the individual practice groups have changed, there was no impact to CBIZ’s consolidated financial statements as a result of these reclassifications. A detailed description of services offered by each of the practice groups, as well as certain external relationships and regulatory factors currently impacting CBIZ, are provided in the paragraphs below.
Financial Services
The business units that comprise CBIZ’s Financial Services practice 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; Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance services; and valuation services including financial valuations, tangible and intangible asset valuations.
The Financial Services practice is divided into three regions, representing the East, Midwest, and West regions of the United States, and a national service division consisting of those units that provide their services nationwide. The East, Midwest and West regions are each headed by a designated regional director, each of whom report to the Senior Vice President, Financial Services. The national service division reports either directly or indirectly to the Senior Vice President, Financial 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 CBIZ’s 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 $16.2 million, and $15.8 million for the three months ended and $56.9 million and $52.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 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. In January 2006, the ASA between CBIZ and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., the largest firm associated with CBIZ, was extended for an additional eighteen years, with certain rights of extension and termination.
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 Financial Services 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

26


Table of Contents

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.
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 consolidated financial statements included herewith.
Employee Services
The business units that comprise CBIZ’s Employee Services group are organized between Retail and National Services. CBIZ’s Employee Services group operates under one Senior Vice President, who oversees the practice group, along with a senior management team which supports the practice group leader along: functional; product; and unit oversight lines. Each of the Retail offices 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 include: 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-sharing plans (including 401-k plans), defined benefit plans, and money purchase plans; actuarial services for health and welfare plans and qualified retirement plans; communications services to educate employees about their benefit programs; executive benefits consulting on non-qualified retirement plans; 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 Retail 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. Specific services provided by the National Services group include: brokerage services for specialty high-risk life insurance and clinical underwriting; wholesale insurance brokerage services; bank-owned executive life insurance; COBRA and Section 125 plan administration programs for employees; human capital advisory services; wealth management services, including registered investment advisory services, investment policy statements, mutual fund selections, and ongoing mutual fund monitoring; and payroll processing and administration.
CBIZ’s Employee 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 CBIZ’s ability to access certain insurance markets and services on behalf of CBIZ clients. The aggregate of these payments received during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was less than 2.0% 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.
Medical Management Professionals
CBIZ Medical Management Professionals (CBIZ MMP) reports to CBIZ’s Chief Executive Officer. 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 MMP’s 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 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.
National Practices
The business units that comprise CBIZ’s National Practices group offer services in the following areas: 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. The majority of the units within the National Practices group report to CBIZ’s President and Chief Operating Officer, with one unit reporting to CBIZ’s Chief Executive Officer.
Results of Operations – Continuing Operations
CBIZ delivers products and services through four practice groups. A brief description of these groups’ operating results and factors affecting their businesses is provided under “Operating Practice Groups” below.
Same-unit revenue represents total revenue adjusted to reflect comparable periods of activity for acquisitions and divestitures. For example, for a business acquired on September 1, 2005, revenue for the month of September would be included in same-unit revenue for third quarter of both years; revenue for the period January 1, 2006 through August 31, 2006 would be reported as revenue from acquired businesses.

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under “Operating Practice Groups” below.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $128.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $120.5 million for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $7.7 million or 6.4%. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses were 89.4% and 89.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary components of operating expenses are personnel costs and occupancy expense, representing 81.3% and 80.5% of total operating expenses and 72.7% and 71.7% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a percent of revenue, gross margin decreased to 10.6% from 10.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As the majority of our operating costs are relatively fixed in the short term, gross margin as a percentage of revenue generally improves with revenue growth. However, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005, gross margin as a percentage of revenue declined; this decline was primarily the result of an increase in compensation and benefits, including $0.7 million related to the expensing of employee stock awards as required by SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” A more comprehensive analysis of compensation costs and gross margins are discussed under “Operating Practice Groups” below.
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $5.6 million and 3.9% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $6.4 million and 4.7% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to adjustments made to our estimate of incentive compensation, and was partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in compensation costs related to the expensing of employee stock awards as required by SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”
Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.3 million and 3.0% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $3.8 million and 2.8% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of intangible assets as the result of businesses and client lists that were acquired after September 30, 2005. The increase in amortization was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense, primarily attributable to CBIZ continuing to shift away from purchasing computer-related equipment and furniture to leasing such items.
Interest expense was $0.8 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Average debt was $100.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $46.9 million for the comparable period in 2005, and average interest rates were 3.1% and 5.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Higher average debt in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005, was the result of CBIZ completing a $100.0 million offering of convertible senior subordinated notes (“Notes”) on May 30, 2006. Proceeds from the offering were used to pay-off the debt balance under the $100.0 million unsecured credit facility and to repurchase CBIZ common stock. Lower average interest rates were also a result of the Notes, which carry a fixed interest rate of 3.125%.

Other Income and Expense
Other income, net was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2005. Other income (expense), net is comprised primarily of interest income, adjustments to the fair value of investments 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. Adjustments to the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan are offset by adjustments to compensation costs which are recorded as operating or corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, and thus do not have an impact on CBIZ’s net income. The decrease in other income during the third quarter of 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 was primarily the result of lower contingent royalties received from previous divestitures, offset by an increase in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan.
Income Taxes
CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $2.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was 38.9%, compared to an effective rate of 42.8% for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005 was primarily a result of the reduction of a valuation allowance for state tax credit carryforwards that occurred during the third quarter 2006.

Same-unit revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $1.2 million or 2.0% from the three months ended September 30, 2005. The growth in same-unit revenue was primarily due to an increase in the aggregate number of hours charged and rates realized for traditional accounting and tax services provided to clients. The increase in same-unit revenue was partially offset by a decline in revenue from Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services practice group are personnel costs and occupancy costs, representing 86.1% and 85.7% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased $1.8 million to 71.6% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 70.0% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in personnel costs was primarily related to annual merit increases to existing employees, as well as an increase in salaries and benefits for new employees, as CBIZ continues to expand its professional workforce to accommodate future revenue growth. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature but increased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to additional space required in certain facilities to accommodate the additional work force described above.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased by 1.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, as the result of a decline in Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services and an increase in personnel costs as described above.

Same-unit revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $0.1 million or 0.2% from the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our group health businesses, and was offset by a decline in revenue at a specialty life insurance business. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a property and casualty business in San Jose, California which was acquired during the first quarter of 2006, and a property and casualty business with offices in St. Joseph and Kansas City, Missouri, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2006.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services practice group are personnel costs, commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing 87.3% and 86.5% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, of which $1.1 million was attributable to acquired businesses. The remainder of the increase in personnel costs was primarily a result of commissions paid to our sales force, which are variable based upon revenue. Personnel costs increased as a percentage of revenue to 61.9% for the third quarter of 2006 from 56.8% for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to a decline in revenue at the specialty life insurance business, which operates with fixed personnel costs in the short term. Commissions paid to third party brokers decreased as a percentage of revenue to 4.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 5.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, due to the termination of relationships with certain brokers and a decline in revenue at a specialty life insurance business. Occupancy costs increased $0.2 million, and were 5.9% and 5.7% of revenue for the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in occupancy costs was primarily due to new facilities and the acquired businesses previously discussed.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased by 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to a decline in revenue at our specialty life insurance business, which operates with fixed personnel costs.

Same-unit revenue increased by $1.1 million or 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the three months ended September 30, 2005. Growth was attributable to new clients obtained in 2006, the maturation of clients obtained in 2005, and growth in revenue from existing clients. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a medical billing business based in Flint, Michigan which was acquired during the first quarter of 2006.

The largest components of operating expenses for CBIZ MMP are personnel costs, occupancy costs and office expenses (primarily postage), representing 89.0% and 88.8% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased by $2.4 million but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 56.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 56.7% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005. Acquired businesses accounted for $1.7 million of the increase in personnel costs; the remainder of the increase was due to an increase in the number of client service staff employed by CBIZ MMP during 2006 compared to 2005, as required to support the growth in revenue. The decrease in personnel costs as a percent of revenue was the result of the acquired business’s operating expense structure. Occupancy costs increased $0.2 million, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 6.7% from 7.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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 three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $1.1 million to 9.7% of revenue from 7.0% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to the impact of an increase in postage rates, and the medical billing business that was acquired during the first quarter of 2006. In addition to medical billing services, the acquired business provides statement printing and mailing services to their clients, and thus incurs higher postage costs as a percentage of revenue than the typical CBIZ MMP billing office.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 primarily due to decreased revenue in certain market places, and the impact of the increase in postage rates described above.

Same-unit revenue increased $0.7 million or 6.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005. Approximately $0.3 million of the revenue growth was the result of a transaction that closed in our mergers and acquisitions business during the third quarter of 2006. The remainder of the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to growth in product sales and service revenue in our technology businesses, and additional markets and products in our health care consulting business.
The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs, direct costs and occupancy costs, representing 91.8% and 88.3% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased by $0.3 million, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 57.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 58.6% for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to additional personnel in our technology business, and commissions related to the mergers and acquisitions transaction that closed during the third quarter of 2006. Direct costs (which consist primarily of product costs associated with hardware sales in the technology businesses) increased $0.1 million, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 20.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 21.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in direct costs occurred as a result of higher product sales during the third quarter of 2006 quarter versus the comparable period in 2005; the decrease in direct costs as a percentage of revenue occurred as a result of the mix of products that were sold during the third quarter of 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were approximately $0.4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 5.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005. The improvement in gross margin was primarily a result of the mergers and acquisitions transaction that closed during the third quarter of 2006 and growth in our health care consulting business, combined with overall cost savings in controllable costs.

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under “Operating Practice Groups” below.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $397.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $368.6 million for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $29.1 million or 7.9%. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses were 85.1% and 85.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary components of operating expenses are personnel costs and occupancy expense, representing 81.6% and 80.3% of total operating expenses and 69.5% and 68.8% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a percent of revenue, gross margin improved to 14.9% from 14.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As the majority of our operating costs are relatively fixed in the short term, gross margin as a percentage of revenue generally improves with revenue growth. Gross margin improvement for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 over the comparable period of 2005 was partially offset by an increase in compensation expense of $1.7 million related to the expensing of employee stock awards as required by SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” A more comprehensive analysis of compensation costs and gross margins are discussed under “Operating Practice Groups” below.
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $20.2 million for the comparable period in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to 4.2% from 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 was primarily the result of legal fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 which included $1.1 million in expenses related to the settlement of a litigation matter; fees of that magnitude did not recur during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 was also attributable to adjustments made to our estimate of incentive compensation, offset by an increase of $0.9 million in compensation costs related to the expensing of employee stock awards as required by SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”
Depreciation and amortization expense was $12.5 million and 2.7% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $11.4 million and 2.7% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of intangible assets as the result of businesses and client lists that were acquired after September 30, 2005. The increase in amortization was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense, primarily attributable to CBIZ continuing to shift away from purchasing computer-related equipment and furniture to leasing such items.

Interest expense was $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Average debt was $74.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $55.2 million for the comparable period in 2005, and average interest rates were 4.3% and 5.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Higher average debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005, was primarily the result of CBIZ completing a $100.0 million offering of convertible senior subordinated notes (“Notes”) on May 30, 2006. Proceeds from the offering were used to pay-off the debt balance under the $100.0 million unsecured credit facility and to repurchase CBIZ common stock. CBIZ expects the average interest rate for the remainder of 2006 to continue to decrease, as the Notes carry a fixed interest rate of 3.125%.
Other Income and Expense
Other income, net was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $2.2 million for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $0.6 million. Other income (expense), net is comprised primarily of interest income, adjustments to the fair value of investments 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. Adjustments to the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan are offset by adjustments to compensation costs which are recorded as operating or corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, and thus do not have on impact an CBIZ’s net income. The increase in other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan and proceeds received on a life insurance policy, offset by lower contingent royalties received from previous divestitures.
Income Taxes
CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.1 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 40.1%, compared to an effective rate of 40.5% for the comparable period in 2005. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased from the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to the 2006 reduction of a valuation allowance for state tax credit carryforwards, based upon an improved ability to utilize such carryforwards. The impact of this reduction was partially offset by an increase in state income tax expense due to state tax law changes that became effective during 2006.

Same-unit revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $10.5 million or 5.1% from the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The growth in same-unit revenue was primarily due to an increase in the aggregate number of hours charged and rates realized for traditional accounting and tax services provided to clients. The increase in same-unit revenue was partially offset by a decline in revenue from Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a valuation business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which was acquired during the first quarter of 2005.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services practice group are personnel costs and occupancy costs, representing 86.6% and 85.3% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased $9.9 million to 64.9% of revenue for the

nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 63.4% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in personnel costs was primarily related to annual merit increases to existing employees, as well as an increase in salaries and benefits for new employees as CBIZ continues to expand its professional workforce to accommodate future revenue growth. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature but increased $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to additional space required in certain facilities to accommodate the additional work force described above.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased 0.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, as the result of a decline in Sarbanes-Oxley consulting services and an increase in personnel costs as described above. CBIZ expects revenue growth for the Financial Services group to continue throughout 2006; however, due to the seasonal nature of the accounting and tax businesses, gross margin may decline slightly from the levels recorded for the first nine months of 2006.

Same-unit revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $5.3 million or 4.6% from the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our retail group health, payroll services and human capital advisory businesses. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a property and casualty business in San Jose, California which was acquired during the first quarter of 2006, and a property and casualty business with offices in St. Joseph and Kansas City, Missouri, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2006.
The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services practice group are personnel costs, commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing 87.0% and 86.9% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, of which $2.3 million was attributable to acquired businesses. The remainder of the increase in personnel costs was primarily a result of commissions paid to our sales force, which are variable based upon revenue. Personnel costs increased as a percentage of revenue to 60.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 58.4% for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to a decline in revenue at the specialty life insurance business which operates with fixed personnel costs in the short term. Commissions paid to third party brokers decreased as a percentage of revenue to 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 5.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due to the termination of relationships with certain brokers and a decline in revenue at a specialty life insurance business. Occupancy costs increased $0.7 million, to 5.8% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 5.7% for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in occupancy costs was primarily due to new facilities and the acquired businesses previously discussed.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased by 0.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in gross margin was primarily a result of the decline in revenue at our specialty life insurance business which operates with fixed personnel costs, combined with an increase in personnel costs related to commissions, as a higher portion of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 resulted in commission payments to employees than in the comparable period of 2005. CBIZ expects revenue growth for the Employee Services group to continue throughout 2006, at margins consistent with current levels.

Same-unit revenue increased by $5.9 million or 8.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Growth was attributable to new clients obtained in 2006, the maturation of clients obtained in 2005, and growth in revenue from existing clients. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by a medical billing business based in Flint, Michigan which was acquired during the first quarter of 2006.
The largest components of operating expenses for CBIZ MMP are personnel costs, occupancy costs and office expenses (primarily postage), representing 89.2% and 88.2% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased by $8.6 million but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 57.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from 57.8% for the comparable period in 2005. Acquired businesses contributed $4.9 million of the increase in personnel costs; the remainder of the increase was due to an increase in the number of client service staff employed by CBIZ MMP during 2006 compared to 2005, as required to support the growth in revenue. The decrease in personnel costs as a percent of revenue was the result of the acquired business’s operating expense structure. Occupancy costs increased $0.9 million, but decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 6.8% from 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $3.3 million to 9.7% of revenue from 7.2% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to the impact of an increase in postage rates, and the medical billing business that was acquired during the first quarter of 2006. In addition to medical billing services, the acquired business provides statement printing and mailing services to their clients, and thus incurs higher postage costs as a percentage of revenue than the typical CBIZ MMP billing office.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased 1.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to decreased revenue in certain market places and the impact of the postage rate increase described above. CBIZ MMP expects revenue growth to continue throughout the remainder of 2006, accompanied by a modest decline in gross margin from 2005 levels.

Same-unit revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $2.0 million or 5.7% from the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Approximately $1.0 million of the revenue growth was attributable to our mergers and acquisitions business which closed three transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus two transactions during the comparable period in 2005. The remainder of the increase in revenue

was primarily attributable to our technology businesses, which experienced growth in service revenue and product sales.
The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs, direct costs and occupancy costs, representing 91.8% and 89.3% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel costs increased $0.5 million, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 58.7% from 60.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to additional personnel in our technology business and commissions related to the mergers and acquisitions transactions that closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Direct costs (which consist primarily of product costs associated with hardware sales in the technology businesses) increased $0.5 million to 18.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 18.2% of revenue for the comparable period in 2005 as a larger portion of revenue was derived from product sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 than in the comparable period of 2005. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were approximately $1.2 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005. The improvement in gross margin was primarily a result of the number and size of transactions closed by our mergers and acquisitions business during the first nine months of 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005, growth in service revenue experienced by our technology businesses, and overall cost savings in controllable costs. CBIZ expects gross margin for the remainder of 2006 to be slightly higher than 2005 levels.
Results of Operations – Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2006, CBIZ sold an operation from the Financial Services practice group which was classified as available for sale at March 31, 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, the unit was written down to its fair value, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.2 million. CBIZ also sold certain property tax operations from a business unit in the National Practices group during the second quarter of 2006. The business was classified as a discontinued operation in 2005, and the sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.5 million. These losses are included in “gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax”, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During 2005, CBIZ closed an operation from the Financial Services practice group, sold an operation from the Employee Services practice group, and committed to the divestiture of a business unit in the National Practices practice group (a portion of which was sold during the second quarter of 2006 as described above). The Employee Services operation was sold during the third quarter of 2005 for proceeds that included contingent payments which are determined based upon the divested operation’s actual future performance. Contingent proceeds are recorded as they are earned and are included in “gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax”, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The sale of the Employee Services operation resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million at closing, and contingent proceeds earned by CBIZ during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled approximately $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $493.9 million, total liabilities were $267.7 million and shareholders’ equity was $226.2 million as of September 30, 2006. Current assets of $220.4 million exceeded current liabilities of $145.8 million by $74.6 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $6.6 million to $15.5 million at September 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005. Restricted cash was $14.5 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $4.6 million from December 31, 2005. Restricted cash represents those funds held in connection with CBIZ’s NASD regulated operations and funds held in connection with the pass through of insurance premiums to various carriers. Cash and restricted cash fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash receipts and related payments.
Accounts receivable, net were $114.0 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $15.6 million from December 31, 2005. Days sales outstanding (DSO) represents accounts receivable (before the allowance for doubtful accounts) and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by trailing twelve month 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 Company’s ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner.

Table of Contents

DSO was 71 days, 65 days and 72 days at September 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2005, respectively.
Other current assets were $8.5 million and $9.5 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Other current assets are primarily comprised of prepaid assets. Balances may fluctuate during the year based upon the timing of cash payments and amortization of prepaid expenses.
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.
Notes receivable (current and non-current) decreased by $4.9 million at September 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005. The decrease in notes receivable relates primarily to a payment received in the second quarter of 2006 for contingent proceeds earned on the Employee Services business that was sold in the third quarter of 2005 (further discussed under “Results of Operations — Discontinued Operations” above).
Goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, increased by $22.3 million at September 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005. Acquisitions, including contingent consideration earned, resulted in a $20.0 million increase in intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, CBIZ acquired the trade name of a nationally recognized practice which is recorded as an other intangible asset. Intangible assets decreased by $3.4 million as a result 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 our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The accounts payable balance of $24.5 million at September 30, 2006 reflects amounts due to suppliers and vendors; balances fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash payments. Accrued personnel costs were $30.5 million at September 30, 2006 and 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.
Other liabilities (current and non-current) increased by $1.7 million at September 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of acquisitions, differences between cash payments required under various operating leases versus rent expense which is recognized on a straight-line basis, and interest payable related to the $100.0 million offering of convertible senior subordinated notes (discussed below), offset by a net decrease in notes payable as the result of payments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Income taxes payable of $7.5 million at September 30, 2006 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2005 represents our estimate of taxes due on current year income. The increase in income taxes payable at September 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, offset by estimated tax payments and tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options.
On May 30, 2006, CBIZ completed a $100.0 million offering of convertible senior subordinated notes (“Notes”) due in 2026. Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to repurchase approximately 6.6 million shares of CBIZ common stock at a cost of approximately $52.5 million (concurrent with closing the notes) and to repay the outstanding balance under our $100.0 million unsecured credit facility. See further discussion under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $28.5 million to $226.2 million at September 30, 2006 from $254.7 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to share repurchases of 8.1 million shares for a total cost of approximately $62.9 million, offset by net income of $21.4 million, the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits which contributed $8.0 million, the issuance of $2.5 million in common shares in relation to business acquisitions, and $2.8 million related to the recognition of stock compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
CBIZ’s principal source of net operating cash is derived from the collection of commissions and fees for professional services and products rendered to its clients. CBIZ supplements net operating cash with an unsecured credit facility, and with $100.0 million in convertible senior subordinated notes (“Notes”). The Notes, were sold to qualified institutional buyers on May 30, 2006, mature on June 1, 2026, and may be redeemed by CBIZ in whole or in part anytime after June 6, 2011. CBIZ received approximately $97.0 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting expenses of approximately $3.0 million. CBIZ used approximately $52.5 million of the net proceeds to repurchase 6.6 million shares of CBIZ common stock (concurrent with closing the Notes). The remaining proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balance under CBIZ’s credit facility, which bears interest at a higher rate than the 3.125% interest rate on the Notes.
CBIZ’s $100.0 million unsecured credit facility was amended during the second quarter of 2006 to permit issuance of the Notes. The facility has a five year term expiring in February 2011, and carries an option to increase the commitment to $150.0 million. At September 30, 2006, CBIZ did not have outstanding borrowings under its credit facility, but did have letters of credit and performance guarantees totaling $3.7 million. Available funds under the facility based on the terms of the commitment were approximately $88.7 million at September 30, 2006. 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.
The facility allows for the allocation of funds for strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and the repurchase of CBIZ common stock. Under the credit facility, CBIZ is 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 September 30, 2006 and projects that it will remain in compliance for the remainder of 2006.
CBIZ may also obtain funding by offering securities or debt, through public or private markets. CBIZ currently has a shelf registration under which it can offer such securities. See our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a description of the shelf registration statement.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash flows from operating activities represent net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. CBIZ typically experiences a net use of cash from operations during the first quarter of its fiscal year, as accounts receivable balances grow in response to the seasonal increase in first quarter revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group (primarily for accounting and tax services). This net use of cash is followed by strong operating cash flow during the second and third quarters, as a significant amount of revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group during the first four months of the year are billed and collected in subsequent quarters. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities was $16.2 million, compared to $34.8 million for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease of $18.6 million in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in the change in income taxes of $3.1 million, a decrease in the change in accrued personnel costs of $13.0 million, and an increase in the change in accounts receivable, net of $4.4 million.
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of payments toward capital expenditures and business acquisitions, proceeds from divested operations, the collection of notes receivable and proceeds received from a life insurance policy. CBIZ used $18.4 million in net cash for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $12.4 million during the comparable period in 2005. Investing uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily consisted of $20.6 million of net cash used towards business acquisitions, $2.4 million for the acquisition of other intangible assets and $4.8 million for capital expenditures (net), offset by $7.3 million in proceeds received from the sale of various operations, $0.6 million in proceeds received from a life insurance policy, and $1.5 million in net collections on notes receivable. Investing uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily consisted of $11.0 million of net cash used toward business acquisitions and $4.7 million for capital expenditures (net), offset by $2.0 million in proceeds received from the sale of operations and $1.3 million in net collections on notes receivable. Capital expenditures primarily consisted of technology investments, leasehold improvements, and purchases of furniture and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of proceeds received from the convertible senior subordinated notes that were issued in the second quarter of 2006, 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 provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $8.8 million compared to a $22.2 million net use of cash for the comparable period in 2005. Financing sources of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included $100.0 million in proceeds from convertible senior subordinated notes, and $8.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options (including tax benefits), offset by $32.2 million in net payments toward the credit facility, $62.9 million in cash used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock, $0.5 million in net payments towards notes payable and capitalized leases, and $3.6 million in cash paid for debt issuance costs (primarily related to the convertible senior subordinated notes). During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, financing sources of cash included $2.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $10.2 million in net payments toward the credit facility, $13.7 million in cash used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock, and $0.4 million in net payments towards notes payable and capitalized leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements with independent CPA firms (as described more fully under “Business Services – Financial Services” above), which qualify as variable interest entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as amended. The impact to CBIZ of 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 $1.7 million and $2.4 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s 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 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. In addition, CBIZ provides bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of bonds outstanding at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled $1.6 million and $1.2 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. 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, CBIZ’s 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 CBIZ’s obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2006, CBIZ was not aware of any obligations arising under 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 nine-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow CBIZ to maintain a target range of fixed to floating rate debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, management 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 CBIZ’s credit facility and Notes, 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 CBIZ’s consolidated financial statements because their application places significant demand on management’s 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 four practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those groups, is provided below.
Financial Services — Revenue consists primarily of fees for accounting services, preparation of tax returns, consulting services including Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and compliance projects, and valuation services including 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 based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses. The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in which the change becomes known.
Through one of its Financial Services units, CBIZ provides flexible benefits administration services to clients, grants access of its proprietary software to third parties, and provides hosting services 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.

Table of Contents

Employee Services — Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions, payroll service fees, interest on client funds, and fee income for administering health and retirement plans. A description of the revenue recognition, based on the service provided, insurance product sold, and billing arrangement, is described below.
    Commissions relating to brokerage and agency activities whereby CBIZ has primary responsibility for the collection of premiums from insured’s (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, and reserves for estimated policy cancellations and terminations. The cancellation and termination reserve is based upon estimates and assumptions using historical cancellation and termination experience and other current factors to project future experience. CBIZ periodically reviews the adequacy of the reserve and makes adjustments as necessary. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different results.
 
    Commissions which are based upon certain performance targets are recognized at the earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved, or cash collection.
 
    Fee income 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.
 
    Payroll— Revenue is recognized when the actual payroll processing occurs.
Medical Management Professionals— 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 by our clients on their patient accounts.
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.
    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 over the period of the agreement. Consulting revenue is recognized on an hourly or per diem fee basis as services are performed.
 
    Health Care Consulting— CBIZ bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses, or as a percentage of savings after contingencies have been resolved and verified by a third party.
 
    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.
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 CBIZ’s 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.
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 No. 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 goodwill impairment during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2006 or 2005.
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.
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.
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 in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions and requires applying a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of FIN 48 on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, rather it applies under existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 permits registrants to record the cumulative effect of initial adoption by recording the necessary “correcting” adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings only if material under the dual method. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. CBIZ is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SAB 108 on the consolidated financial statements.
Uncertainty of Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 Quarterly Report, including without limitation, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding CBIZ’s 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: CBIZ’s ability to adequately manage its growth; CBIZ’s dependence on the services of its CEO and other key employees; competitive pricing pressures; general business and economic conditions; changes in governmental regulation and tax laws affecting its operations; reversal or decline in the current trend of outsourcing business services; revenue seasonality or fluctuations in and collectibility of receivables; liability for errors and omissions of our businesses; regulatory investigations and future regulatory activity (including without limitation inquiries into compensation arrangements within the insurance brokerage industry); and reliance on information processing systems and availability of software licenses. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed.
A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in CBIZ’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005. CBIZ undertakes no obligation to publicly update 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. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
CBIZ’s 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. Although CBIZ did not have a balance outstanding under its credit facility at September 30, 2006, CBIZ may borrow funds under its credit facility in future periods which could expose the Company to interest rate risk.
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 nine-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.
Item 4. 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 SEC’s 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 a 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 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.
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 SEC’s rules and forms.
There were no changes in our Internal Controls that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our Internal Controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that may affect CBIZ’s actual operating and financial results are described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of CBIZ’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(c) On February 9, 2006, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing for share repurchases of up to 5.0 million shares of CBIZ common stock. On May 18, 2006, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorized a supplemental share repurchase program allowing for share repurchases of up to 10.0 million shares of CBIZ common stock, in addition to the 5.0 million shares previously authorized. Under these programs, shares may be repurchased in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The programs expire March 31, 2007, and CBIZ does not expect to terminate the programs prior to their expiration. Stock repurchase activity during the three months ended September 30, 2006 (reported on a trade-date basis) is summarized in the table below (in thousands, except per share data).

(3)   The Company 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, a broker is granted discretion to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf, and the broker is 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.
According to the terms of CBIZ’s credit facility, CBIZ is not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other than dividend payments made by one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to the parent company. See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a description of working capital restrictions and limitations upon the payment of dividends.
