INSPERITY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)


1.
Basis of Presentation

Insperity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Insperity,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), provides an array of human resources (“HR”) and business solutions designed to help improve business performance.  Our most comprehensive HR business offering is provided through our professional employer organization (“PEO”) services, known as Workforce Optimization®, which encompasses a broad range of HR functions, including payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, government compliance, performance management, and training and development services.

In addition to Workforce Optimization, we offer Human Capital Management, Payroll Services, Time and Attendance, Performance Management, Organizational Planning, Recruiting Services, Employment Screening, Financial Services, Expense Management, Retirement Services and Insurance Services (collectively “Strategic Business Units”, formerly known as Adjacent Businesses), many of which are offered via desktop applications and software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery models.  These other products or services are offered separately, in customizable bundles, or along with Workforce Optimization.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Insperity and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2014 and our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and our Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 , have been prepared by us 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.

2.
Accounting Policies

Health Insurance Costs

We provide group health insurance coverage to our worksite employees through a national network of carriers, including UnitedHealthcare (“United”), UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield, Unity Health Plan and Tufts, all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts.

The policy with United provides the majority of our health insurance coverage.  As a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model.  Accordingly, we record the costs of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the “Plan Costs”) as benefits expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The estimated incurred claims are based upon: (i) the level of claims processed during the quarter; (ii) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (iii) the number of participants in the plan, including both active and COBRA enrollees.  Each reporting period, changes in the estimated ultimate costs resulting from claim trends, plan design and migration, participant demographics and other factors are incorporated into the Plan Costs.

- 10 -



Additionally, since the plan’s inception, under the terms of the contract, United establishes cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter.  If the Plan Costs for a reporting quarter are greater than the premiums paid and owed to United, a deficit in the plan would be incurred and a liability for the excess costs would be accrued in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  On the other hand, if the Plan Costs for the reporting quarter are less than the premiums paid and owed to United, a surplus in the plan would be incurred and we would record an asset for the excess premiums in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The terms of the arrangement require us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9.0 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid insurance.  In addition, United requires a deposit equal to approximately one day of claims funding activity, which was $3.5 million as of September 30, 2014, and is reported as a long-term asset.  As of September 30, 2014, Plan Costs were less than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $31.8 million.  As this amount is in excess of the agreed-upon $9.0 million surplus maintenance level, the $22.8 million balance is included in prepaid insurance, a current asset, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The premiums owed to United at September 30, 2014 were $22.7 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our benefits costs incurred in the first nine months of 2014 included costs of $2.4 million for changes in estimated run-off related to 2013.

Workers’ Compensation Costs

Our workers’ compensation coverage has been provided through an arrangement with the ACE Group of Companies (the “ACE Program”) since 2007.  The ACE Program is fully insured in that ACE has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities.  We bear the economic burden for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence, as well as a maximum aggregate amount of $5 million per policy year for those claims that exceed $1 million, and the insurance carrier bears responsibility for the claims in excess of such amounts.

Because we bear the economic burden for claims up to the levels noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers’ compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred.  Workers’ compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury.  Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires a significant level of judgment.

We employ a third party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of worksite employees’ job responsibilities, the location of worksite employees, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends.  Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers’ compensation claims cost estimates.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we reduced our workers’ compensation costs by $3.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods.  Workers’ compensation cost estimates are discounted to present value at a rate based upon the U.S. Treasury rates that correspond with the weighted average estimated claim payout period (the average discount rate utilized in the 2014 and 2013 periods were 1.0% and 0.7%, respectively) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The current portion of accrued workers’ compensation costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2014 includes $2.2 million of workers’ compensation administrative fees.

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the undiscounted accrued workers’ compensation costs were $140.0 million and $127.5 million, respectively.

At the beginning of each policy period, the insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”).  The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and expected workers’ compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier.  Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as restricted cash, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits, a long-term asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, we paid the insurance carrier an additional $7.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in claim funds for prior policy years, which increased deposits.  As of September 30, 2014, we had restricted cash of $57.2 million and deposits of $93.7 million.

Our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid within one year is recorded as accrued workers’ compensation costs and included in short-term liabilities, while our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid beyond one year is included in long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our cash and overnight holdings fluctuate based on the timing of clients’ payroll processing cycles.  Included in the cash balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are $90.8 million and $143.0 million, respectively, in funds associated with federal and state income tax withholdings, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, as well as $18.3 million and $24.5 million in client prepayments, respectively.

We account for our financial assets in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement.  This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets using identical assets
Level 2 - significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs

The municipal bond securities valued as Level 2 investments are primarily pre-refunded municipal bonds that are secured by escrow funds containing U.S. Government securities. Our valuation techniques used to measure fair value for these securities during the period consisted primarily of third party pricing services that utilized actual market data such as trades of comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

During the second quarter of 2014, impairment indicators were identified in our Employment Screening business, which is a discrete reporting unit, due to changes in management, the reporting unit’s financial results and the loss of certain customers. As a result, we performed impairment tests for our Employment Screening business’ long-lived assets and goodwill and concluded that the assets were impaired. The impairments resulted primarily from lower projected revenue growth rates and profitability levels. Accordingly, we recognized intangible asset impairments of $0.7 million and, upon completion of step two of the goodwill impairment test, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2014. The fair values of the long-lived assets and reporting unit were estimated using discounted cash flow models, which we believe appropriately estimates the fair values of the long-lived assets and reporting unit. The material assumptions used in the models included the weighted average cost of capital and long-term growth rates.  We consider these to be Level 3 fair value measures.

Other Assets
    
In 2011, we acquired a minority interest in The Receivables Exchange (“TRE”), an online marketplace for the sale of accounts receivable, for $2.8 million. In the second quarter of 2013, TRE issued similar securities at per share amounts substantially below the per share book value of our investment. Accordingly, we valued the investment based on a similar security market transaction, which is a Level 2 valuation technique. This resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $2.7 million, which is included in other income (expense) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, during the second quarter of 2013. Due to federal income tax limitations on capital losses, no tax benefit associated with the impairment was recognized.

6.
Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $100 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), which may be increased to $150 million based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement relating to the Facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Facility matures on September 15, 2015.  The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants, which we believe are customary for arrangements of this nature.  At September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and had not drawn on the Facility. As of September 30, 2014, we had an outstanding $0.6 million letter of credit issued under the Facility.

7.
Stockholders' Equity

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”).  The purchases are to be made from time to time in the open market or directly from stockholders at prevailing market prices based on market conditions and other factors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 580,804 shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Program and 112,458 shares not subject to the Repurchase Program were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the vesting of restricted stock awards.  As of September 30, 2014, we were authorized to repurchase an additional 768,765 shares under the program.

The Board declared quarterly dividends as follows:

8.
Net Income per Share

We utilize the two-class method to compute net income per share.  The two-class method allocates a portion of net income to participating securities, which include unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends.  Net income allocated to unvested share-based payments is excluded from net income allocated to common shares.  Any undistributed losses resulting from dividends exceeding net income are not allocated to participating securities.  Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

The following table summarizes the net income allocated to common shares and the basic and diluted shares used in the net income per share computations:

Commitments and Contingencies

We are a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business.  Management believes it has valid defenses in these cases and is defending them 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 our financial position or results of operations.

Federal Unemployment Taxes

Employers in certain states are experiencing higher Federal Unemployment Tax Act (“FUTA”) tax rates as a result of certain states not repaying their unemployment loans from the federal government in a timely manner.  The Benefit Cost Ratio Add-On (“BCR”) is an additional tax on the FUTA wage base for employers in states that continue to have outstanding federal unemployment insurance loans beginning with the fifth year in which there is a balance due on the loan.  States had the option to apply for a waiver before July 1st of the year in which the BCR is applicable.  During the second quarter of 2014, Georgia, Missouri and Wisconsin repaid their unemployment loans. There are currently 11 states with outstanding unemployment loans and of those, all but one, Connecticut, have filed for a BCR waiver. Eleven states, including California, are at risk for assessment of the BCR in 2014.  We expect most states will be notified by the federal government in the fourth quarter of 2014 if a waiver has been granted in response to the state’s application.  The potential additional FUTA tax associated with worksite employees in these 11 states was approximately $4.3 million as of September 30, 2014.

Generally, our contractual agreements allow us to incorporate such increases into our service fees upon the effective date of the rate change.  However, our ability to fully adjust service fees in our billing systems and collect such increases over the remaining term of the customers’ contracts could be limited, resulting in a potential tax increase not being fully recovered.  As a result, if these FUTA tax increases are instituted and not collected from our clients, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

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

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues

Our revenues for the third quarter of 2014 increased 3.8% over the 2013 period, primarily due to a 1.8% increase in the average number of worksite employees paid per month and a 2.0%, or $28, increase in revenues per worksite employee per month.

We provide our Workforce Optimization solution to small and medium-sized businesses in strategically selected markets throughout the United States. By region, our Workforce Optimization revenue change from the third quarter of 2013 and distribution for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Our Workforce Optimization growth rate is affected by three primary sources – worksite employees paid from new client sales, client retention and the net change in existing clients through worksite employee new hires and layoffs.  During the third quarter of 2014, we saw improvement in the net change in existing clients and worksite employees paid from new client sales as compared to the third quarter 2013, while client retention remained consistent with the third quarter of 2013.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 increased 3.5% over the third quarter of 2013 to $100.8 million.  The average gross profit per worksite employee increased 1.6% to $255 per month in the 2014 period from $251 per month in the 2013 period.  Included in gross profit in 2014 is an $18 per worksite employee per month contribution from our Strategic Businesses compared to $15 per worksite employee per month in the 2013 period.

Our pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by increasing revenue per worksite employee to match or exceed changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses.  Our revenues during the third quarter of 2014 increased 2.0% per worksite employee per month over the third quarter of 2013. Our direct costs, which primarily include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, increased 2.1% to $1,165 per worksite employee

- 19 -


per month in the third quarter of 2014 versus $1,141 in the third quarter of 2013.  The primary direct cost components changed as follows:

Benefits costs – The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $3 per worksite employee per month, or 1.3% on a cost per covered employee basis, compared to the third quarter of 2013. Our benefits costs incurred in the third quarter of 2014 reflect favorable claim trends due to a reduction in both large claims and COBRA participation levels, partially offset by $3.1 million, or $8 per worksite employee per month, of additional taxes primarily due to new health care reform requirements. Our estimate of incurred but not paid claims increased during the third quarter of 2014. Partially offsetting this increase were benefit cost reductions for changes in estimated claim run-off related to prior periods of $6.4 million, or $16 per worksite employee per month, in the third quarter of 2014. The percentage of worksite employees covered under our health insurance plans was 71.2% in the 2014 period compared to 71.8% in the 2013 period. Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Accounting Policies – Health Insurance Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for health insurance costs.

Workers’ compensation costs – Workers’ compensation costs increased $10 per worksite employee per month, or 29.4% compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to higher incurred claim levels.  As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs were 0.68% in the 2014 period compared to 0.55% in the 2013 period. During the 2014 period, we recorded reductions in workers’ compensation costs of $0.4 million, or 0.02% of non-bonus payroll costs, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods, compared to $1.9 million, or 0.08% of non-bonus payroll costs in the 2013 period.  Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Accounting Policies – Workers’ Compensation Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs.

Payroll tax costs – Payroll taxes increased 4.0%, or $10 per worksite employee per month, compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to the 3.9% increase in payroll costs. Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll cost were 6.3% in both the 2014 and the 2013 periods.

Operating expenses increased 7.5% to $86.4 million compared to $80.3 million in the third quarter of 2013.  Operating expenses per worksite employee per month increased to $218 in the 2014 period from $207 in the 2013 period.  The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes of corporate and sales staff increased 12.8%, or $12 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2013 period.  This increase was primarily due to higher incentive compensation accruals and a 1.3% rise in headcount.

Stock-based compensation decreased 1.7%, but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2013 period.  Stock-based compensation expense represents amortization of restricted stock awards granted to employees.


- 20 -


Commissions expense increased 5.0%, or $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2013 period, primarily due to commissions associated with our Strategic Businesses.

Advertising costs increased 14.3%, or $1 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2013 period, primarily due to changes in the timing of television advertising spend.

General and administrative expenses decreased 1.3%, or $2 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2013 period.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 42.2% in the 2014 period compared to 41.2% in the 2013 period.  Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

Operating and Net Income

Operating and net income per worksite employee per month was $37 and $21 in the 2014 period, versus $44 and $26 in the 2013 period.

Our Workforce Optimization growth rate is affected by three primary sources – worksite employees paid from new client sales, client retention and the net change in existing clients through worksite employee new hires and layoffs.  During the first nine months of 2014, we saw improvement in worksite employees paid from new client sales, while the net change in existing clients and client retention remained consistent with the first nine months of 2013.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2014 decreased 0.3% compared to the first nine months of 2013 to $302.4 million.  The average gross profit per worksite employee decreased 1.9% to $261 per month in the 2014 period from $266 per month in the 2013 period.  Included in gross profit in 2014 is a $16 per worksite employee per month contribution from our Strategic Businesses compared to $14 per worksite employee per month in the 2013 period.

Our pricing objectives attempt to maintain or improve the gross profit per worksite employee by increasing revenue per worksite employee to match or exceed changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses.  Our revenues during the first nine months of 2014 increased 1.9% per worksite employee per month as compared to the first nine months of 2013. However, our direct costs, which primarily include payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expenses, increased 2.7% to $1,260 per worksite employee per month compared to $1,227 in the first nine months of 2013.  The primary direct cost components changed as follows:

Benefits costs – The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $21 per worksite employee per month, or 3.8% on a cost per covered employee basis, compared to the first nine months of 2013.  Our benefits costs incurred in the first nine months of 2014 included costs of $2.4 million, or $2 per worksite employee per month, for changes in estimated run-off related to 2013. Included in 2013 benefits costs is a reduction of $3.4 million, or $3 per

- 23 -


worksite employee per month, for lower than expected claim costs and premium taxes related to prior periods.  In addition, $8.5 million, or $7 per worksite employee per month, of additional taxes were included in the 2014 period, primarily due to new health care reform requirements. The percentage of worksite employees covered under our health insurance plans was 71.7% in the 2014 period compared to 72.1% in the 2013 period.  Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Accounting Policies – Health Insurance Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for health insurance costs.

Workers’ compensation costs – Workers’ compensation costs increased $7 per worksite employee per month, or 22.6%, compared to the first nine months of 2013.  As a percentage of non-bonus payroll cost, workers’ compensation costs were 0.65% in the 2014 period compared to 0.54% in the 2013 period.  During the 2014 period, we recorded reductions in workers’ compensation costs of $3.0 million, or 0.04% of non-bonus payroll costs, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods, compared to $8.3 million, or 0.11% of non-bonus payroll costs, in the 2013 period.  Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Accounting Policies – Workers’ Compensation Costs,” for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs.

Payroll tax costs – Payroll taxes increased 2.7%, or $5 per worksite employee per month, compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to the 5.4% increase in payroll costs offset by lower state unemployment tax rates. Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll cost were 7.4% in the 2014 period and 7.6% in the 2013 period.

Operating expenses increased 5.5% to $268.0 million compared to $253.9 million in the first nine months of 2013.  We recorded impairment charges of $2.5 million in our Employment Screening reporting unit in the first nine months of 2014. Please read Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for additional information. Operating expenses per worksite employee per month increased to $231 in the 2014 period from $223 in the 2013 period.  The components of operating expenses changed as follows:

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes of corporate and sales staff increased 7.7%, or $7 per worksite employee per month, compared to the 2013 period.  This increase was primarily due to higher incentive compensation accruals and a 3.1% rise in headcount.

Stock-based compensation decreased 0.1%, but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2013 period.  Stock-based compensation expense represents amortization of restricted stock awards granted to employees.

Commissions expense increased 3.9%, but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2013 period, primarily due to commissions associated with our Strategic Businesses.

Advertising costs decreased 5.5%, or $1 per worksite employee per month compared to the 2013 period, primarily due to reduced spending on radio and television advertising.

General and administrative expenses increased 2.5%, but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2013 period.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 0.9%, but remained flat on a per worksite employee per month basis compared to the 2013 period.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense decreased $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to the non-cash impairment charge related to our minority investment in The Receivables Exchange in 2013. Please read Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Other Assets,” for additional information.
Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 42.6% in the 2014 period compared to 42.9% in the 2013 period.  Our provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and the effects of the impairment charges recorded during the period. The effect of the non-cash impairment charges on the income tax rates was 0.3% in the 2014 period and 2.3% in the 2013 period.

Operating and Net Income

Operating and net income per worksite employee per month was $30 and $17 in the 2014 period, versus $43 and $23 in the 2013 period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-bonus payroll cost is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of bonus payrolls paid to our worksite employees.  Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program.  As a result, our management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting our workers’ compensation costs.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  We include these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred under our current workers’ compensation program.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the table below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other things, our expansion plans, potential acquisitions and other operating cash needs.  To meet short-term liquidity requirements, which are primarily the payment of direct and operating expenses, we rely primarily on cash from operations.  Longer-term projects or significant acquisitions may be financed with debt or equity.  We have in the past sought, and may in the future seek, to raise additional capital or take other steps to increase or manage our liquidity and capital resources.  We had $225.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2014, of which approximately $90.8 million was payable in early October 2014 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, and approximately $18.3 million were customer prepayments that were payable in October 2014.  At September 30, 2014, we had working capital of $119.1 million compared to $128.6 million at December 31, 2013.  We currently believe that our cash on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations and availability under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2014.  We will rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital needs.

We have a $100 million revolving credit facility (“Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions.  The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and was undrawn at September 30, 2014.  Please read Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Revolving Credit Facility,” for additional information.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in 2014 was $1.0 million.  Our primary source of cash from operations is the comprehensive service fee and payroll funding we collect from our clients.  Our cash and cash equivalents, and thus our reported cash flows from operating activities are significantly impacted by various external and internal factors, which are reflected in part by the changes in our balance sheet accounts.  These include the following:

Timing of client payments / payroll levels – We typically collect our comprehensive service fee, along with the client’s payroll funding, from clients at least one day prior to the payment of worksite employee payrolls and associated payroll taxes.  Therefore, the last business day of a reporting period has a substantial impact on our reporting of operating cash flows.  For example, many worksite employees are paid on Fridays; therefore, operating cash flows decrease in the reporting periods that end on a Friday or a Monday.  In the period ended September 30, 2014, the last business day of the reporting period was a Tuesday, client prepayments were $18.3 million and accrued worksite employee payroll was $211.0 million.  In the period ended September 30, 2013, the last business day of the reporting period was a Monday, client prepayments were $9.0 million and accrued worksite employee payroll was $184.1 million.

Workers’ compensation plan funding – Under our workers’ compensation insurance arrangements, we make monthly payments to the carriers comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”).  These pre-determined amounts are stipulated in our agreements with the carriers, and are based primarily on anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and workers’ compensation loss rates during the policy year.  Changes in payroll levels from those that were anticipated in the arrangements can result in changes in the amount of cash payments, which will impact our reporting of operating cash flows.  Our claim funds paid, based upon anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and workers’ compensation loss rates, were $40.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 and $33.5 million in the first nine months of 2013.  However, our estimate of workers’ compensation loss costs was $37.7 million in the 2014 period and $29.7 million in the 2013 period, respectively. During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, we paid the insurance carrier an additional $7.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in claim funds for prior policy years.

Medical plan funding – Our health care contract with United establishes participant cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter.  Therefore, changes in the participation level of the United plan have a direct impact on our operating cash flows.  In addition, changes to the funding rates, which are solely determined by United based primarily upon recent claim history and anticipated cost trends, also have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.  At September 30, 2014, premiums owed and cash funded to United have exceeded Plan Costs, resulting in a $31.8 million surplus, $22.8 million of which is reflected as a current asset, and $9.0 million of which is reflected as a long-term asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The premiums owed to United at September 30, 2014, were $22.7 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Higher funding rates, as determined by United, resulted in a higher additional quarterly premium of $20.1 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to no additional quarterly premium at September 30, 2013.


- 26 -


Operating results – Our net income has a significant impact on our operating cash flows.  Our net income decreased 25.8% to $19.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $26.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due to higher operating expenses. Please read “Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013.”

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to property and equipment purchases of $11.0 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including $20.8 million in stock repurchases and $14.0 million in dividends paid.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are primarily exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and the effects of those fluctuations on the market values of our cash equivalent short-term investments and our available-for-sale marketable securities.   In addition, borrowings under our Facility bear interest at a variable market rate.  As of September 30, 2014, we had not drawn on the Facility.  Please read Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Revolving Credit Facility,” for additional information.  The cash equivalent short-term investments consist primarily of overnight investments, which are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk, except to the extent that changes in interest rates will ultimately affect the amount of interest income earned on these investments.  The available-for-sale marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk because these securities generally include a fixed interest rate.  As a result, the market values of these securities are affected by changes in prevailing interest rates.

We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk primarily through diversification and low investment turnover.  Our investment policy is designed to maximize after-tax interest income while preserving our principal investment.  As a result, our marketable securities consist of tax-exempt short and intermediate-term debt securities, which are primarily pre-refunded municipal bonds that are secured by escrow funds containing U.S. Government securities.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

In accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014.
 
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

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,” “opportunity,” “objective,” “target,” “assume,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “predicts,” “appears,” “indicator” and similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  In the normal course of business, Insperity, Inc., in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our 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.  We base the forward-looking statements on our expectations, estimates and projections at the time such statements are made.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that we cannot predict.  In addition, we have 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 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) adverse economic conditions; (ii) regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application of various federal, state and local regulations; (iii) the ability to secure competitive replacement contracts for health insurance and workers’ compensation contracts at expiration of current contracts; (iv) increases in health insurance costs and workers’ compensation rates and underlying claims trends, health care reform, financial solvency of workers’ compensation carriers, other insurers or financial institutions, state and federal unemployment tax rates, liabilities for employee and client actions or payroll-related claims; (v) failure to manage growth of our operations and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (vi) changes in the competitive environment in the PEO industry, including the entrance of new competitors and our ability to renew or replace client companies; (vii) our liability for worksite employee payroll, payroll taxes and benefits costs; (viii) our liability for disclosure of sensitive or private information; (ix) our ability to integrate or realize expected return on our acquisitions; (x) failure of our information technology systems; and (xi) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against Insperity.  These factors are discussed in further detail in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Factors That May Affect Future Results and the Market Price of Common Stock” on page 17, and elsewhere in this report.  Any of these factors, or a combination of such factors, could materially affect the results of our operations and whether forward-looking statements we make ultimately prove to be accurate.

The parties anticipate that such amendments shall be completed as soon as possible. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the terms and conditions of any eventual modifications to the Medical Definitive Agreements and the Dental Definitive Agreement will be only as set forth in any subsequent amendment(s) signed by the parties.

Insperity and UnitedHealthcare acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of this letter and the attached Exhibit A relating to the Medical Definitive Agreements, including the existence hereof, are subject to the provisions of Section 5(e) of the Minimum Premium Administrative Services Agreement (relating to publicity of the arrangement).

As such, Insperity and UnitedHealthcare each agree not to make any unauthorized disclosure or public announcement concerning the subject matter hereof without the written consent of the other.

Exhibit A
UnitedHealthcare/Insperity
Terms of Agreement
September 2, 2014


For consistency, clarity and ease of communication, this Terms of Agreement uses defined terms from both of the Medical Definitive Agreements between Insperity and UnitedHealthcare

UnitedHealthcare (UHC) is pleased to continue our exceptional partnership for an additional two years including annual *** on both the *** and *** and dental insurance premium, while also implementing the following provisions to extend the existing agreement by two years (2016 and 2017):

1)
In keeping with previous agreements, UHC’s suggested language is as follows: "Competitive" means that either (i) the Company and the Employer agree or (ii) an independent consultant chosen by mutual agreement of the parties has determined, that such product ranks either *** or *** as compared to competing products of other vendors in the designated market.  In making any determination of the rank of a product in a market, such consultant shall apply such criteria relating to ***, *** and *** as it shall determine appropriate.  All fees and expenses of any such consultant shall be paid by the Employer.
a.
The exclusivity provisions shall not apply to any Client of Insperity where a state or municipality requires issuance of small business policies directly to Clients and/or Employees, nor shall it apply to Clients and/or Employees who elect coverage under a federal, state or private exchange. Insperity and UnitedHealthcare will work together to find mutually agreeable parameters for any Insperity ***.
b.
Barring *** or ***, existing UHC membership is grandfathered for the remainder of the contractual period from the time a competing carrier is introduced into a market.
c.
When a new carrier is added to a UHC market, the *** is made at the *** and not the ***.
d.
If there is a *** to the Company *** network in a Market, if no group health insurance or similar product is offered by the Company in the Market, or if no group health insurance or similar product offered by the Company is Competitive in that Market, the Employer may offer, subject to the existing terms of our agreement, the health insurance or similar products of a Competing Vendor in such market.  Only *** will be introduced into a limited number of Markets, not to exceed *** Markets, through December 31, 2017. The *** market cap does not apply if changes are *** by *** or ***.



e.
*** and *** will remain exclusive markets. If agreed to by both parties, the exclusivity requirement will be modified if changes are *** by *** or *** (to the extent not previously addressed in subparagraph a to this section 1).
f.
UnitedHealthcare will be the exclusive Vendor for *** coverage offered in the *** markets. If agreed to by both parties, the exclusivity requirement will be modified if changes are mandated by *** or *** (to the extent not previously addressed in subparagraph a to this section 1).
g.
UHC will be notified at least 90 days prior to the introduction of a competing carrier into a market. 

2)
In the event that either party reasonably believes that any state or other jurisdiction may impose a *** on it for proceeding with its performance under the Agreement, or that a state or jurisdiction will enforce a regulation, statute or exchange provision that will result in either a material reduction in Insperity's ability to market its full suite of services to its existing and potential clients or UnitedHealthcare's ability to market its insurance products in the state or jurisdiction, such party will promptly advise the other party of such belief and the basis therefore. In such event, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to resolve such matter to the satisfaction of both parties. After a good faith effort by the parties to eliminate the risk of *** or the material reduction of Insperity's ability to market its full suite of services to its existing and potential clients or UnitedHealthcare's ability to market its insurance products in the state or jurisdiction, if the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, (a) the party upon which such *** may be imposed may immediately discontinue the Agreement's application in such state or jurisdiction by providing notice to that effect to the other party, except that the effective date of the termination may be extended to the latest date the Agreement can remain in effect before triggering the ***, or later if adequate indemnification is provided by the other party, or, (b) in the case of a material reduction of Insperity's ability to market its full suite of services to its existing and potential clients, or UnitedHealthcare's ability to market its insurance products in the state or jurisdiction, the Agreement's application in such state or jurisdiction will be effective *** following notice to the other party.  In the event of termination, the Agreement will continue to apply in all other states or jurisdictions, except that if it is a Federal law at issue the Agreement will discontinue in its entirety.  Furthermore, in the event of termination of this Agreement, Insperity agrees that it will deliver written notice to UnitedHealthcare of termination of the Policy issued to Insperity as of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement.


3)
In the event of *** in the use of *** by businesses within Insperity’s target customer base, which threatens Insperity’s ability to *** or ***, the parties agree to:




a.
Cooperate in good faith to ease the exclusivity provisions of the Agreement to accommodate a *** competitive with the ***, however, such easing shall be to the extent *** to achieve a competitive offering;
b.
Restrict any *** to presentation at the ***;
c.
Maintain the existing Agreement for the remainder of the term of the Agreement;


4)
Renew UHC Dental coverage with *** renewal *** in 2016 and *** in 2017.

5)
Renew OptumHealth (OH) Care24 w/ Worklife Solutions at *** through 2017.

6)
If *** exceeds *** on ***, *** previously agreed to will be *** and *** will apply to 2015.

7)
***, as measured on *** each contract year, will set the level of combined *** and the *** for the current year. *** includes all *** for coverage in *** or *** as per current agreement.

a.
2016 CY *** – based on *** by *** if *** exceeds ***, *** by *** if *** exceeds *** or *** by *** if *** is less than ***.
b.
2017 CY *** – based on *** by *** if *** exceeds ***, *** by *** if *** exceeds *** or *** by *** if *** is less than ***.

8)
*** and *** will continue to be a pass through of actual expenses.
