NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

     Administaff, Inc. (“the Company”) is a professional employer organization (“PEO”) that provides a comprehensive Personnel Management System that encompasses a broad range of services, including benefits and payroll administration, health and workers’ compensation insurance programs, personnel records management, employer liability management, employee recruiting and selection, performance management, and training and development services to small and medium-sized businesses in strategically selected markets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, revenues from the Company’s Texas markets represented 41% and 45% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2002, and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations. Historically, the Company’s earnings pattern has included losses in the first quarter, followed by improved results in subsequent quarters throughout the year. This pattern is due to the effects of employment-related taxes which are based on each employee’s cumulative earnings up to specified wage levels, causing employment-related taxes to be highest in the first quarter and then decline over the course of the year.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

2. Accounting Policies

     The following accounting policies reflect only new or modified accounting policies the Company has adopted during 2002 as a result of new contractual arrangements or the adoption of newly issued accounting pronouncements.

Health Insurance Costs

     The Company provides health insurance coverage to its worksite employees through a national network of carriers including UnitedHealthcare (“United”), PacifiCare, Kaiser Permanente, Cigna and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, all of which provide fully-insured policies. The policy with United provides the majority of the Company’s health insurance coverage. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s annual contract with United, within 195 days after contract termination, a final accounting of the plan will be performed and the Company will receive a refund for any accumulated surplus or will be liable for any accumulated deficit in the plan, up to the amount of the Company’s security deposit with United. Accordingly, the Company accounts for this plan using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model, under which the Company must estimate its incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims at the end of each accounting period to determine the existence of any accumulated deficit or surplus. Any resulting accumulated deficit or surplus is recorded as a liability or asset, respectively, on its balance sheet. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has recorded an estimated accumulated surplus of approximately $101,000.

Workers’ Compensation Costs

     The Company’s workers’ compensation insurance policy for the two-year period ending September 30, 2003 is a guaranteed-cost policy under which premiums are paid for full-insurance coverage of all claims incurred during the policy period. This policy also contains a dividend feature for each policy year, under which the Company is entitled to a refund of a portion of its premiums if, four years after the end of the policy year, claims paid by the insurance carrier for any policy year are less than an amount set forth in the policy. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic D-35,FASB Staff Views on EITF No. 93-6, “Accounting for Multiple-Year Retrospectively Rated Contracts by Ceding and Assuming Enterprises,” the Company estimates the amount of refund, if any, that has been earned under the dividend feature, based on the actual claims incurred to date and a factor used to develop those claims to an estimate of the ultimate cost of the incurred claims during that policy year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company has recorded an estimated dividend receivable of approximately $2.2 million as a long-term asset, including approximately $700,000 recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are available to fund the Company’s current operations.

Table of Contents

Marketable Securities

     At September 30, 2002, the Company’s marketable securities consisted of debt securities issued by corporate and governmental entities, with contractual maturities ranging from 91 days to five years from the date of purchase. All of the Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, and as a result, are reported at fair value. As of September 30, 2002, the Company’s marketable securities totaled $15.0 million, of which $12.0 million were required to be maintained in investment accounts with Morgan Stanley or JP Morgan Chase Bank pursuant to the Company’s revolving credit agreement. Unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

Property and Equipment

     On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires than an impairment loss be recognized for assets to be disposed or held-for-use when the carrying amount of the asset is deemed to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances were to indicate that any of the Company’s long-lived assets might be impaired, the Company would be required to analyze the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the applicable asset. In addition, the Company would be required to record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from operating activities or upon disposal of the asset. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

3. Property and Equipment

     In September 2002, construction related to the Company’s new corporate headquarters facility was substantially completed and the associated costs were reclassified from construction in progress to buildings and improvements. The total cost of the facility as of September 30, 2002 was approximately $32 million.

     During the first quarter of 2002, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Virtual Growth, Inc. through bankruptcy proceedings for a total cost of approximately $1.6 million. The purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased based on their estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition. The primary assets purchased included computer hardware and software and intellectual property, including capitalized software development costs.

4. Deposits

     As of September 30, 2002, the Company has made cash security deposits totaling $25 million with its primary health insurance carrier, United. Beginning January 1, 2004 and each year thereafter, the security deposit will be adjusted to the greater of $22.5 million or 7.5% of the

- -11-

Table of Contents

estimated annual premiums for that contract year. In the event of a default or termination of the Company’s contract with United, a default pursuant to the revolving credit agreement or the reduction of the Company’s current ratio below 0.60, United may draw against the security deposit to collect any unpaid health insurance premiums or any accumulated deficit in the plan.

5. Other Assets

     The Company has an investment in eProsper, Inc. (“eProsper”), a privately-held company, totaling approximately $3.1 million at September 30, 2002, including a $500,000 investment that was made in April 2002 in connection with eProsper’s $1.5 million convertible preferred stock offering. This investment is recorded under the cost method. Under the cost method, the Company periodically evaluates the realizability of this investment based on its review of the investee’s financial condition, financial results, financial projections and availability of additional financing sources. If, based on its review, the Company were to determine that the investment’s estimated fair market value had declined below its carrying value for a reason that was other than temporary, the Company would be required to write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair market value in the period such determination was made.

6. Revolving Credit Agreement

     On June 25, 2002, the Company entered into a $30 million revolving credit agreement that expires on December 23, 2002, replacing its former $21 million cash-secured line of credit. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has borrowed $30 million under this credit agreement, the proceeds of which have been used to finance the construction of a new facility at the Company’s corporate headquarters. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement accrue interest based on a rate determined at the time of borrowing. At September 30, 2002, the weighted average interest rate of borrowings under the facility was 2.33% and approximately $442,000 of interest expense related to the current and former credit agreements have been capitalized as part of construction in progress. Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are secured by real estate and related improvements at the Company’s headquarters. The credit agreement contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain daily cash and/or marketable securities balances in investment accounts with Morgan Stanley or JPMorgan Chase Bank, totaling at least $12.0 million through October 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the balance in these accounts was $19.7 million. The minimum required balances increased to $15 million in November 2002. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of funded debt to consolidated EBITDA for the most recent twelve month period at or below 1.5 to 1.0. For the twelve month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company’s ratio was 1.36 to 1.0.

7. Long-Term Debt

     In October 2002, the Company entered into a $3.6 million capital lease arrangement. Approximately $3.0 million of the $3.6 million has been funded to finance the purchase of office

- -12-

furniture. The current monthly lease payments are $46,000 per month over the seven-year lease term.

     In October 2002, the Company entered into a $4.5 million term loan agreement that matures in October 2012 and bears interest at the one-month commercial paper rate plus 3.13% (currently 4.88%). The loan is secured by the Company’s aircraft and is payable in monthly installments of $36,000, with a final payment of approximately $1.8 million due at maturity.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

     On March 6, 2002, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“American Express”) exercised warrants to purchase 526,271 shares of common stock at $25 per share. The shares were issued from treasury stock held by the Company. On March 7, 2002, the Company repurchased the 526,271 shares of common stock from American Express for $27.02 per share at a total cost of $14.2 million.

     The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has repurchased 3,968,000 shares at a total cost of approximately $57.4 million, including the 526,271 shares repurchased from American Express.

9. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     The numerator used in the calculations of both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for all periods presented was net income (loss). The denominator for each period presented was determined as follows:

- -13-

Table of Contents

vigorously. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except as set forth below.

State Unemployment Taxes

     In January 2002, as a result of a corporate restructuring plan, Administaff filed for a partial transfer of compensation experience used to determine unemployment tax rates with nine states, including Texas. The Company estimated and recorded its unemployment tax expense during the first nine months of 2002 using estimated tax rates in those states that were based on its expectation that these partial transfer applications would be approved.

     In June 2002, the Company received an initial determination from the Texas Workforce Commission (“TWC”) that its partial transfer application was denied. The Company filed an appeal of this ruling with the TWC. On October 30, 2002, the TWC issued its decision approving Administaff’s application for a partial transfer of compensation experience. No other state has declined the Company’s partial transfer application, although three remain pending. Administaff believes that a negative determination in any of the remaining states would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     Since it filed its application, Administaff has paid its unemployment taxes to the State of Texas at the higher new employer rate as required by state law. In the interim, the Company, however, has recorded Texas unemployment taxes at its best estimate of the ultimate rate, resulting in a prepaid asset of approximately $6 million at September 30, 2002, included as a component of other current assets. Administaff will not know the definitive amount of its expected refund until the transfer of compensation experience is completed by the TWC and the TWC notifies Administaff of its final official tax rate for the 2002 calendar year. If the TWC’s final official tax rate is higher or lower than the estimated rate currently used by the Company, the Company would be required to recognize a corresponding reduction or increase in the estimated prepaid asset as additional payroll tax expense or benefit in the period of such determination to the extent the Company’s estimate differs from the TWC’s final official tax rate.

Health Insurance Costs

     On November 5, 2001, the Company filed a lawsuit against Aetna US Healthcare (“Aetna”). The Company has asserted claims against Aetna for breach of contract, economic duress, negligent misrepresentation, breach of good faith and fair dealing, and violations of the Texas Insurance Code. The Company has alleged that during the third quarter of 2001, Aetna placed the Company under economic duress by threatening, without any legal right, to terminate the Company’s health insurance plan if Administaff did not pay immediate and retroactive rate increases, even though Aetna had not provided at least two quarters advance notice as required under the contract. In addition, the Company has alleged that Aetna failed to properly manage the health plan and to produce timely and accurate reports regarding the health plan’s claims data and financial condition. While the Company

- -14-

Table of Contents

is still in the process of quantifying its damages, it intends to seek damages in excess of $42 million, including approximately $12.7 million related to increased health insurance costs in the third and fourth quarters of 2001.

     On January 28, 2002, Aetna filed its answer denying the claims asserted by the Company and, as anticipated by the Company, filed a counterclaim. In the counterclaim, Aetna has alleged that the Company has violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, breached its contractual obligations by failing to pay premiums owed to Aetna, and made material misrepresentations during its negotiations of rates with Aetna for the purpose of delaying rate increases while the Company sought a replacement health insurance carrier. Aetna has stated that its amended preliminary calculation of damages is approximately $35 million.

     While the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of a resolution of this dispute or the related lawsuit and counterclaim, the Company plans to vigorously pursue its case. In addition, the Company believes that Aetna’s allegations in the counterclaim are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. However, an adverse outcome in this dispute could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

     In October 2001, the Company’s former workers’ compensation insurance carrier, Reliance National Indemnity Co. (“Reliance”), was forced into bankruptcy liquidation. At December 31, 2001, the estimated outstanding claims under the Company’s former policies with Reliance totaled approximately $8.8 million. State laws regarding the handling of the open claims of liquidated insurance carriers vary. Most states have established funds through guaranty associations to pay such remaining claims. However, several states have laws that could be construed to return the liability for open claims to the companies that had policies with the liquidated insurance carrier, typically based on net worth. In anticipation of this situation, the Company secured insurance coverage totaling $1.8 million from its current workers’ compensation insurance carrier to cover potential claims returned to the Company. While the Company believes, based on its analysis of applicable state provisions, that its insurance coverage will be adequate to cover any potential losses, it is possible that such losses could exceed the Company’s insurance coverage limit.

401(k) Plan

     On May 21, 2002, Administaff entered into a Closing Agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) related to an audit of its 401(k) Plan for the year ended December 31, 1993. The agreement recognizes and preserves Administaff’s ability to maintain its current plan structure through December 31, 2003. As a result of the agreement, the IRS has closed its audit of the plan and granted full relief from retroactive disqualification on the exclusive benefit rule issue raised during the audit. For periods after December 31, 2003, the Company intends to comply with IRS Revenue Procedure 2002-21, which was issued on April 24, 2002 and provides guidance regarding

the operation of defined contribution plans by PEOs. The Company expects that the required changes to the plan will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2001 annual report on Form 10-K, as well as with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to health and workers’ compensation insurance claims experience, client bad debts, investments, income taxes, and contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

     The Company believes the following accounting policies are critical and/or require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Results of Operations

     Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001.

     The following table presents certain information related to the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Revenues

     The Company’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased 12.0% over the same period in 2001 due to a 12.7% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month, partially offset by a 2.4% decrease in fee payroll cost per worksite employee per month.

     The Company’s unit growth rate is affected by three primary sources — new client sales, client retention and the net change in existing clients through new hires and layoffs. During the third quarter of 2002, paid worksite employees from new client sales decreased from the 2001 period due to the continued economic slowdown. Client retention improved over the 2001 period due primarily to a reduction in client company business failures and financial defaults. The net change in existing clients also improved over the 2001 period, although it continued to lessen the Company’s growth rate as layoffs in the existing client base slightly exceeded new hires.

- -22-

Table of Contents

     The 2.4% decrease in fee payroll cost per worksite employee per month was primarily due to (i) the addition of new clients with worksite employees that had a lower average base pay than the existing client base; and (ii) a slight decrease in the average payroll cost of worksite employees at existing clients which was driven by the replacement of terminated personnel with new employees at an average wage level 3% lower than the terminated worksite employees. In addition, for worksite employees active in both the 2001 and 2002 periods, the average pay raise declined to 3.1% in the 2002 period compared to 6.5% in the 2001 period.

     By region, the Company’s revenue growth over the third quarter of 2001 and revenue distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were as follows:

     Gross Profit

     Gross profit for the third quarter of 2002 decreased 4.9% to $46.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2001. Gross profit per worksite employee decreased 15.5% to $196 per month in the 2002 period from $232 per month in the 2001 period. This decline was primarily the result of a workers’ compensation credit received in the third quarter of 2001 in the amount of approximately $6.6 million, or $31 per worksite employee per month. The Company’s pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by matching or exceeding changes in its primary direct costs with increases in the gross markup per worksite employee.

     Excluding the impact of the $6.6 million workers’ compensation credit received during the third quarter of 2001, the Company was unable to achieve its pricing objectives in the 2001 period as a result of a $6 million retroactive increase in health insurance premiums by Aetna for the months of August and September 2001. This unexpected cost increase created a mismatch between the Company’s comprehensive pricing, as measured by gross markup per worksite employee per month, and its direct costs.

     Since the third quarter of 2001, the Company has continued to experience significant increases in health insurance costs. In response to these increases, the Company has implemented significant pricing increases for new and renewing clients. Due to annual contract commitments, pricing for existing clients can only be increased upon renewal. As a result, the Company has failed to meet its pricing objectives during 2002, including the third quarter of 2002 where the effect of the

- -23-

Table of Contents

pricing mismatch was similar to that experienced in the third quarter of 2001, causing significant operating losses during the first nine months of 2002.

     While Administaff has seen significant improvement in its pricing in recent months, the Company expects that its pricing objectives will not be achieved until 2003. As a result, the Company expects its gross profit per worksite employee to be less than the levels achieved during 2001 for the remainder of 2002, and that gross profit per worksite employee will return to 2001 levels during 2003. However, changes in Administaff’s health insurance claims trends, which underlie the Company’s health insurance costs, could enhance or hinder the Company’s ability to meet its pricing objectives.

     Gross markup per worksite employee per month, which represents the Company revenues less the payroll cost of worksite employees, increased 6.1% to $905 in the 2002 period versus $853 in the 2001 period. This increase was primarily the result of price increases in response to higher health insurance costs.

     The Company’s primary direct costs, which include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, increased 14.0% to $716 per worksite employee per month in the 2002 period versus $628 in the 2001 period. The primary components changed as follows:

     Operating Expenses

     The following table presents certain information related to the Company’s operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Operating expenses increased 13.4% over the third quarter of 2001 to $40.9 million. Operating expense per worksite employee increased to $171 per month in the 2002 period from $170 in the 2001 period. The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

- -25-

Table of Contents

     Net Income

     Other income decreased 77.9% to $224,000, primarily due to reduced levels of cash and marketable securities resulting primarily from the Company’s year-to-date operating loss and capital expenditures.

     The Company’s provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses. The effective income tax rate for the 2002 period was consistent with the 2001 period at 39.5%.

     Operating income and net income per worksite employee per month was $25 and $16 in the 2002 period, versus operating income and net income of $63 and $41 in the 2001 period. The Company’s net income and diluted net income per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $3.8 million and $0.14, versus net income and diluted net income per share of $8.7 million and $0.30 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

     Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001.

     The following table presents certain information related to the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Revenues

     The Company’s revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 11.1% over the same period in 2001 due to an 11.4% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month, partially offset by a 1.7% decrease in fee payroll cost per worksite employee per month.

     The Company’s unit growth rate is affected by three primary sources — new client sales, client retention and the net change in existing clients through new hires and layoffs. During the first nine months of 2002, paid worksite employees from new client sales increased 15.9% over the same period last year. Client retention improved over the 2001 period due primarily to a reduction in client company business failures and financial defaults. The net change in existing clients also improved over 2001, although it continued to lessen the Company’s growth rate as layoffs in the existing client base exceeded new hires, primarily in the first quarter of 2002.

     The 1.7% decrease in fee payroll cost per worksite employee per month was primarily due to (i) the addition of new clients with worksite employees that had a lower average base pay than the existing client base; and (ii) a slight decrease in the average payroll cost of worksite employees at

- -27-

Table of Contents

existing clients, which was driven by the replacement of terminated personnel with new employees at a lower average wage level than the terminated worksite employees. In addition, for worksite employees active in both the 2001 and 2002 periods, the average pay raise has declined from the levels experienced in the 2001 period.

     By region, the Company’s revenue growth over the first nine months of 2001 and revenue distribution for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were as follows:

     Gross Profit

     Gross profit decreased 3.9% to $114.0 million from $118.7 million during the first nine months of 2002. Gross profit per worksite employee decreased 14.1% to $165 per month in the 2002 period from $192 per month in the 2001 period. This decline was primarily the result of benefit cost increases as well as a workers’ compensation credit received in the third quarter of 2001 in the amount of approximately $6.6 million, or $11 per worksite employee per month. The Company’s pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by matching or exceeding changes in its primary direct costs with increases in the gross markup per worksite employee.

     Excluding the impact of the $6.6 million workers’ compensation credit received during the third quarter of 2001, the Company was unable to achieve its pricing objectives in the 2001 period as a result of a $6 million retroactive increase in health insurance premiums by Aetna for the months of August and September 2001. This unexpected cost increase created a mismatch between the Company’s comprehensive pricing, as measured by gross markup per worksite employee per month, and its direct costs.

     Since the third quarter of 2001, the Company has continued to experience significant increases in health insurance costs. In response to these increases, the Company has implemented significant pricing increases for new and renewing clients. Due to annual contract commitments, pricing for existing clients can only be increased upon renewal. As a result, the Company has failed to meet its pricing objectives during 2002, including the third quarter of 2002 where the effect of the pricing mismatch was similar to that experienced in the third quarter of 2001, causing significant operating losses during the first nine months of 2002.

     While Administaff has seen significant improvement in its pricing in recent months, the Company expects that its pricing objectives will not be achieved until 2003. As a result, the Company expects its gross profit per worksite employee to be less than the levels achieved during 2001 for the remainder of 2002, and that gross profit per worksite employee will return to 2001 levels during 2003. However, changes in Administaff’s health insurance claims trends, which underlie the Company’s health insurance costs, could enhance or hinder the Company’s ability to meet its pricing objectives.

     Gross markup per worksite employee per month, which represents the Company revenues less the payroll cost of worksite employees, increased 5.3% to $892 in the 2002 period versus $847 in the 2001 period. This increase was primarily the result of price increases in response to higher health insurance costs. In the first half of the year, these price increases were partially offset by the lower average payroll per worksite employee, as gross markup is billed to customers as a percentage of payroll. The Company addressed this issue late in the second quarter by recalibrating pricing on approximately 800 clients that had experienced a decline in average payroll.

     The Company’s primary direct costs, which include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, increased 10.6% to $733 per worksite employee per month in the 2002 period versus $663 in the 2001 period. The primary components changed as follows:

     Operating Expenses

     The following table presents certain information related to the Company’s operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Operating expenses increased 13.7% over the first nine months of 2001 to $124.1 million. Operating expense per worksite employee increased 2.3% to $180 per month in the 2002 period versus $176 in the 2001 period. The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

- -30-

Table of Contents

     Net Income

     Other income decreased 56.6% to $1.7 million, primarily due to reduced levels of cash and marketable securities resulting primarily from the Company’s year-to-date operating loss and capital expenditures.

     The Company’s provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses. The effective income tax rate for the 2002 period was consistent with the 2001 period at 39.5%.

     Operating income and net income per worksite employee per month decreased to a loss of $15 and $7 in the 2002 period, versus income of $15 and $13 in the 2001 period. The Company’s net income and diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased to a net loss of $5.1 million and $0.18, versus net income of $8.1 and $0.28 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company periodically evaluates its liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other things, expansion plans, debt service requirements and other operating cash needs. As a result of this process, the Company has in the past sought, and may in the future seek, to raise additional capital or take other steps to increase or manage its liquidity and capital resources. Provided it is able to refinance its revolving credit agreement, the Company currently believes that its cash on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations and will be adequate to meet its liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2002. The Company will rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet its longer-term liquidity and capital needs.

     On June 25, 2002, the Company entered into a $30 million revolving credit agreement that expires on December 23, 2002, replacing its former $21 million cash-secured line of credit. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has borrowed $30 million under this credit agreement, the proceeds of which have been used to finance the construction of a new facility at the Company’s corporate headquarters. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement accrue interest based on a

- -31-

Table of Contents

rate determined at the time of borrowing. As of September 30, 2002, the weighted average interest rate of borrowings under the facility was 2.33% and approximately $442,000 of interest expense related to the current and former credit agreements have been capitalized as part of construction in progress. Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are secured by real estate and related improvements at the Company’s headquarters. The credit agreement contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain daily cash and/or marketable securities balances in investment accounts with Morgan Stanley or JPMorgan Chase Bank, totaling at least $12.0 million through October 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the balance in these accounts was $19.7 million. The minimum required balances increased to $15 million in November 2002. Additionally, the Company is subject to various restrictions regarding additional indebtedness and liens, the distribution of dividends, the amount of treasury stock purchases and the requirement to maintain a ratio of funded debt to consolidated EBITDA for the most recent twelve month period at or below 1.5 to 1.0. For the twelve month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company’s ratio was 1.36 to 1.0.

     In October 2002, the Company entered into a $3.6 million capital lease arrangement. Approximately $3.0 million of the $3.6 million has been funded to finance the purchase of office furniture. The current monthly lease payments are $46,000 per month over the seven-year lease term.

     In October 2002, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan that matures in October 2012 and bears interest at the one-month commercial paper rate plus 3.13% (currently 4.88%). The loan is secured by the Company’s aircraft and is payable in monthly installments of $36,000, with a final payment of approximately $1.8 million due at maturity.

     The Company intends to enhance its working capital and short-term liquidity by converting the current revolving credit agreement into a long-term debt facility and is currently negotiating the terms of a $36 million real estate loan expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2002. However, failure to secure the real estate loan or extend the revolving credit facility beyond its December 2002 due date could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

     The Company has experienced significant increases in health insurance costs and expects to continue to experience significant increases in future periods. The Company’s pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve gross profit per worksite employee per month by matching or exceeding changes in its primary direct costs with increases in its gross markup per worksite employee. The Company has implemented pricing increases designed to match the anticipated health insurance cost increases. However, due to annual contract commitments, pricing for current customers can only be increased upon contract renewal. Accordingly, the Company expects that its pricing objectives will not be achieved until 2003. However, changes in health insurance claim trends which underlie the Company’s direct costs could enhance or hinder the Company’s ability to meet its pricing objectives. The Company’s inability to achieve its pricing objectives during the first nine months of 2002 has resulted in significant operating losses. These operating losses, in conjunction with other contractual obligations and capital expenditures, also resulted in a significant

- -32-

Table of Contents

reduction of the Company’s liquidity and working capital. Failure to achieve its pricing objectives in 2003 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

     The Company had $50.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2002, of which approximately $32.8 million was payable in October 2002 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions. The Company’s revolving credit agreement contains a covenant requiring the Company’s to maintain daily cash and/or marketable securities balances in investment accounts with JPMorgan Chase or Morgan Stanley, totaling $12.0 million through October 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the balance in these accounts was approximately $19.7 million. The minimum required balances increased to $15 million in November 2002. The remainder is available to the Company for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, current working capital requirements, capital expenditures and the Company’s stock repurchase program. At September 30, 2002, the Company had working capital of $(5.2) million compared to $36.6 million at December 31, 2001. This decline was primarily due to capital expenditures of approximately $36.0 million, additions to the long-term cash security deposit of $10.0 million with the Company’s new health insurance carrier, United, and $3.9 million in net treasury stock repurchases. These reductions in working capital were offset by net income, excluding depreciation and amortization, of $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

     Cash Flows From Operating Activities

     The $45.2 million decrease in net cash flows from operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in prepaid insurance and other assets, including $10.8 million pertaining to the Company’s worker’s compensation insurance policy, $6.0 million related to the State of Texas unemployment tax payments, and additional deposits with United of $10.0 million. In addition, the Company’s operating cash flows also reflect the impact of continued increases in health insurance costs and the resulting operating loss. Finally, cash flows from operating activities reflect the result of the timing of payroll and related payroll tax payments surrounding the December 31 and September 30 payroll periods of each period. The timing and amounts of such payments can vary significantly based on various factors, including the day of the week on which a period ends and the occurrence of holidays on or immediately following a period end.

     Cash Flows From Investing Activities

     Capital expenditures during the 2002 period, which totaled approximately $36.0 million, primarily related to (i) building improvements and furniture and fixtures at the Company’s new Los Angeles Service Center, sales offices and corporate headquarters to accommodate the Company’s expansion plans, including the construction of new facilities at the Company’s corporate headquarters; (ii) a corporate-owned aircraft; (iii) the acquisition of VGI assets through bankruptcy proceedings; and (iv) computer hardware and software.

     During 2002, the Company exchanged cash for a $3.0 million note receivable related to the development of a future service center location. The Company also invested an additional $500,000 in eProsper in connection with eProsper’s $1.5 million convertible preferred stock offering.

     Cash Flows From Financing Activities

     Cash flows from financing activities primarily related to the repurchase of $17.1 million in treasury stock, which was partially offset by $13.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock purchase warrants by American Express. The Company has also borrowed $16.5 million under its revolving line of credit agreement during 2002.

Other Matters

     Health Insurance Costs

     The Company provides health insurance coverage to its worksite employees through a national network of providers including United Healthcare (“United”), PacifiCare, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente and Blue Cross and Blue Shield, all of which are fully-insured policies. The policy with United provides the majority of the Company’s health insurance coverage. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has made cash security deposits totaling $25.0 million with United. Beginning January 1, 2004 and each year thereafter, the security deposit will be adjusted to the greater of $22.5 million or 7.5% of the estimated annual premiums for that contract year.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s annual contract with United, within 195 days following the termination of the contract, a final accounting of the plan will be performed. The final accounting will assess the premiums paid to United and the total administrative fees, taxes and claims incurred during the policy term. The incurred claims will include those paid plus an estimate of claims incurred but not processed within 180 days after the contract termination date. In the event that the incurred claims, administrative fees and taxes are collectively less than the premiums paid, the Company will receive a refund equal to the amount of such accumulated surplus. In the event that the incurred claims, administrative fees and taxes are collectively greater than the premiums paid, the Company will be liable for such accumulated deficit up to the amount of its security deposit.

     In the event of a default or termination of the Company’s contract with United, a default pursuant to the revolving credit agreement or the reduction of the Company’s current ratio below 0.60, United may draw against the security deposit to collect any unpaid health insurance premiums or any accumulated deficit in the plan.

     Because the Company has a contractual right to collect an accumulated surplus and is liable for an accumulated deficit up to the amount of its security deposit with United, the Company accounts for the United plan using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Under this approach, the Company must estimate its incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims at the end of each accounting period. If the estimated IBNR claims, paid claims, taxes and administrative fees,

- -34-

Table of Contents

collectively, exceed the premiums paid to United, an accumulated deficit in the plan would be incurred and the Company would be required to accrue the estimated accumulated deficit on its balance sheet, which would increase benefits expense and decrease net income in the period that such determination is made. On the other hand, if the estimated IBNR claims, paid claims, taxes and administrative fees, collectively, are less than the premiums paid to United, an accumulated surplus in the plan would exist and the Company would record this surplus as a current asset, which would reduce benefits expense and increase net income in the period that such determination is made. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has recorded an estimated accumulated surplus of approximately $101,000.

Seasonality, Inflation and Quarterly Fluctuations

     Historically, the Company’s earnings pattern includes losses in the first quarter, followed by improved profitability in subsequent quarters throughout the year. This pattern is due to the effects of employment-related taxes, which are based on each employee’s cumulative earnings up to specified wage levels, causing employment-related taxes to be highest in the first quarter and then decline over the course of the year. Since the Company’s revenues related to an individual employee are generally earned and collected at a relatively constant rate throughout each year, payment of such employment-related tax obligations has a substantial impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the first six months of each year. Other factors that affect direct costs could mitigate or enhance this trend.

     The Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a significant impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

Factors That May Affect Future Results and the Market Price of Common Stock

     The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “possibly,” “probably,” “goal,” and “assume,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In the normal course of business, Administaff, Inc., in an effort to help keep its stockholders and the public informed about the Company’s operations, may from time to time issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, unit growth, profit per worksite employee, pricing, operating expenses or other aspects of operating results. Administaff bases the forward-looking statements on its current expectations, estimates and projections. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that Administaff cannot predict. In addition, Administaff has based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, the actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking

- -35-

statements could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: (i) changes in general economic conditions; (ii) regulatory and tax developments, including the computation of the final official unemployment tax rate from the State of Texas, the Company’s ability to comply with Revenue Procedure 2002-21, and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations; (iii) changes in the Company’s direct costs and operating expenses including increases in health insurance premiums, increases in underlying health insurance claims trends, workers’ compensation rates and state unemployment tax rates, liabilities for employee and client actions or payroll-related claims, changes in the costs of expanding into new markets, and failure to manage growth of the Company’s operations; (iv) the estimated costs and effectiveness of capital projects and investments in technology and infrastructure, including the Company’s ability to maintain adequate financing for such projects; (v) the Company’s ability to effectively implement its eBusiness strategy; (vi) the effectiveness of the Company’s sales and marketing efforts, including the Company’s marketing agreements with American Express and other companies; (vii) the potential for impairment of investments in other companies; (viii) changes in the competitive environment in the PEO industry, including the entrance of new competitors and the Company’s ability to renew or replace client companies; (ix) the Company’s ability to successfully design, implement and market a new pricing and billing system; and (x) an adverse final judgment or settlement in the Aetna lawsuit. These factors are discussed in detail in the Company’s 2001 annual report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report. Any of these factors, or a combination of such factors, could materially affect the results of the Company’s operations and whether forward-looking statements made by the Company ultimately prove to be accurate.
