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 OptimizationTM, 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 "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, as a bundle, or along with Workforce Optimization ("Bundle Plus").

We provide our Workforce Optimization solution to small and medium-sized businesses in strategically selected markets throughout the United States.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, Workforce Optimization revenues from Insperity's Texas markets represented 26% and 27%, while Workforce Optimization revenues from Insperity's California markets represented 17% and 16%, of Insperity's total Workforce Optimization revenues, respectively.

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, 2011. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2011 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, 2012 and the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, 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.
