KFORCE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization. Kforce Inc. and subsidiaries is a provider of professional staffing services in 76 locations in 43 markets in the United States. Kforce provides its customers staffing services in the following specialties: Technology (“Tech”), Finance and Accounting (“FA”), and Health and Life Sciences (“HLS”). The HLS segment includes our Clinical Research, Scientific, Healthcare-Nursing (“Nursing”) and Health Information Management (“HIM”) staffing specialties. Kforce provides flexible staffing services (“Flex”) on both a temporary and contract basis and provides search services (“Search”) on both a contingency and retained basis. Kforce serves clients from the Fortune 1000, as well as local and regional, small to mid-size companies.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries. References in this document to “the Company,” “Kforce,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce or its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by applicable SEC rules and regulations; however, Kforce believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Kforce classifies all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Fallouts. Kforce has established a reserve for expected credit losses and fallouts on trade receivables based on past experience and expectations of future write-offs. Kforce performs an ongoing analysis of factors including recent write-off and delinquency trends, changes in economic conditions, and concentration of accounts receivable among clients in establishing this reserve. The allowance as a percentage of gross accounts receivable was 3.6% as of June 30, 2006. No single client had a receivable balance greater than 3.0% of the total accounts receivable and the top ten clients represent approximately 17.6% of the total accounts receivable balance.

Fixed Assets. Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the related leases, which range from three to fifteen years.

Income Taxes. Kforce accounts for income taxes under the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the asset and liability approach to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 requires that unless it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset can be utilized to offset future taxes, a valuation allowance must be recorded against that asset. The tax benefits of deductions attributable to employees’ disqualifying dispositions of shares obtained from incentive stock options, tax benefits attributable to employees’ exercise of non-qualified stock options, and tax benefits attributable to the excess of tax deductions for vesting of restricted stock over amounts recorded as expense in Kforce’s financial statements are reflected as increases in additional paid-in capital.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Kforce, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting data to develop the estimates of fair value. The fair values of Kforce’s financial instruments are estimated based on current market rates and instruments with the same risk and maturities. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value due to the variable interest rate applicable to the debt.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142), Kforce does not amortize goodwill but performs an annual review to ensure that no impairment of goodwill exists. On December 31, 2005, Kforce completed a valuation of its three reporting units which consist of Finance and Accounting, Technology and Health and Life Sciences. The results of that valuation indicated that the fair value of each of Kforce’s reporting units exceeded the carrying values of those reporting units. Therefore, Kforce concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill. In some of Kforce’s acquisitions, a portion of the purchase price has been allocated to non-compete agreements and customer lists. These assets have been capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Kforce also has allocated a portion of the purchase price of Hall Kinion & Associates Inc., which was acquired in June 2004, to the OnStaff trade name. This asset has been determined to have an indefinite life and is not being amortized. Accumulated amortization on intangible assets was $8,361 and $6,211 as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $1,127 and $2,150 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $886 and $1,720 for the same periods in 2005. For existing intangible assets from acquisitions, the estimated aggregate amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 will be $4,404, $4,508, $3,091, and $1,355, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, Kforce periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine if impairment has occurred. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded in the period identified. Significant judgment is required to determine whether or not impairment has occurred. The determination is made by evaluating expected future undiscounted cash flows or the anticipated recoverability of costs incurred and, if necessary, determining the amount of the loss, if any, by evaluating the fair value of the assets.

Capitalized Software. Kforce purchases, and in certain cases develops, and implements new computer software to enhance the performance of its accounting and operating systems. Kforce accounts for direct internal and external costs subsequent to the preliminary stage of the projects under the principles of SOP 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”. Software development costs are being capitalized and classified as other assets and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software using the straight-line method. Direct internal costs, such as payroll and payroll-related costs, and external costs during the development stage of each project are capitalized and classified as capitalized software. Kforce capitalized development stage implementation costs of $330 and $617 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Deferred Loan Costs. Costs incurred to secure Kforce’s Credit Facility were capitalized and are being amortized and charged to interest expense over the term of the related agreement using the straight-line method.

Commissions. Associates make placements and earn commissions as a percentage of actual revenue or gross profit pursuant to a calendar year basis commission plan. The amount of commissions paid as a percentage of revenue or gross profit increases as volume increases. Kforce accrues commissions for actual revenue or gross profit at a percentage equal to the percent of total expected commissions payable to total revenue and gross profit for the year.

Stock-Based Compensation. In December of 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised version of SFAS 123, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services, but focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. On January 1, 2006, Kforce adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Kforce’s consolidated financial statements because all of Kforce’s outstanding stock options were fully vested as of December 31, 2005.

Kforce applied the intrinsic-value method under APB Opinion 25 in accounting for options issued and fully vested prior to December 31, 2005, and has disclosed the effect on net income and earnings per share as if Kforce had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to stock-based employee and non-employee compensation. As of June 30, 2006, Kforce has two stock-based compensation plans under which options are outstanding, an employee incentive stock option plan (the “Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan”) and a non-employee director stock option plan (the “Non-Employee

Director Stock Option Plan”). The Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan expired in March and October of 2005, respectively. No stock-based employee compensation expense attributable to stock options is reflected in net income as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grants.

On June 20, 2006, at the annual meeting of the shareholders of Kforce, the shareholders approved the Kforce Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock Incentive Plan was previously adopted by the board of directors on April 28, 2006, subject to the approval of the shareholders of Kforce. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment upon a change in capitalization, is 3,000,000. The Stock Incentive Plan terminates on April 28, 2016. No awards have been granted pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2006.

The table below illustrates the effects on Kforce’s net income and earnings per share had compensation cost for Kforce’s option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates, as prescribed by SFAS 123R.

(a) Included in the calculation of net income is expense related to the amortization of Kforce’s restricted stock plan. Restricted stock amortization is treated the same under SFAS 123R and APB 25 and therefore, has no impact on the pro forma net income.

For purposes of determining the compensation expense per SFAS 123R, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants during the applicable periods: dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rates of 3.9% for options granted, a weighted average expected option term of 4.7 years, and a volatility factor of 50%. Weighted average expected option term and volatility were based on the historical average term of options and historical volatility of Kforce stock.

Self-Insurance. Kforce offers employee benefit programs, including workers compensation and health insurance, to eligible employees, for which Kforce is self-insured for a portion of the cost. Kforce retains liability up to $250 for each workers compensation accident and up to $250 annually for each health insurance participant. Self-insurance costs are accrued using estimates to approximate the liability for reported claims and claims incurred but not reported.

Revenue Recognition. Net service revenues consist of search fees and flexible billings inclusive of billable expenses, net of credits, discounts, rebates and fallouts. Kforce recognizes flexible billings based on hours worked by assigned personnel. Search fees are recognized upon placement, net of an allowance for “fallouts”. Fallouts are search placements that do not complete the contingency period. Contingency periods are typically ninety days or less.

Revenues received as reimbursements of billable expenses are reported gross within revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred”.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of certain derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended.

Accounting for Derivatives. SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It also requires that all derivatives and hedging activities be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and be measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from the changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in net income (loss) or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings, depending upon the purpose of the derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Kforce’s policy is to designate at a derivative’s inception the specific assets, liabilities, or future commitments being hedged and monitor the derivative to determine if it remains an effective hedge. Kforce does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value of Kforce’s interest rate swap agreements is based on dealer quotes.

Accounting for Business Combinations. Kforce accounts for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141). Pursuant to SFAS 141, Kforce utilizes the purchase method in accounting for acquisitions whereby the total purchase price is first allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any remaining purchase price is allocated to goodwill. Kforce recognizes intangible assets apart from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights, or if they are capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Assumptions and estimates are used in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Valuation of intangible assets acquired requires that we use significant judgment in determining (i) fair value; and (ii) whether such intangibles are amortizable or non-amortizable and, if the former, the period and the method by which the intangible asset will be amortized. Changes in the initial assumptions could lead to changes in amortization charges recorded in our financial statements. Additionally, estimates for purchase price allocations may change as subsequent information becomes available.

Earnings Per Share. Under SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share”, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed as earnings divided by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the dilutive effects of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities such as non-vested restricted stock grants and shares held in escrow related to the purchase of VistaRMS, Inc (Note E).

Options to purchase 757 and 2,696 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and options to purchase 1,206 and 2,696 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the computations of diluted earnings per share because these options were anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of options to purchase 3,730 and 3,839 shares of common stock and 213 and 305 shares of restricted stock are included in the computations of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The dilutive effect of options to purchase 3,280 and 3,839 shares of common stock and 213 and 305 shares of restricted stock are included in the computations of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May of 2005, FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement replaces APB Opinion 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. This statement also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. Previously, APB Opinion 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Kforce’s consolidated financial statements.

In June of 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under this interpretation, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. First, the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is measuring the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, whereby the enterprise determines the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, and recognizes that benefit in its financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on Kforce’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B – ALTERNATIVE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE GRANT

On February 22, 2006, Kforce granted to certain members of senior management an alternative long term incentive totaling $1,744 (the “ALTI”). The terms of the ALTI grant state that the ALTI vests fully on January 1, 2008, and the total ALTI shall increase or decrease in value equal to the increase or decrease in the price of Kforce’s common stock over the period from January 1, 2006 to January 1, 2008. In addition, if the average closing price of Kforce’s common stock during the period of January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, is below $6.70, the full amount of the ALTI is forfeited. Kforce has valued this grant using a Monte Carlo simulation at $2,385 as of June 30, 2006, and is amortizing this value over the vesting period of February 22, 2006 to January 1, 2008. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Kforce recorded $358 and $456, respectively, of compensation expense related to the ALTI. Going forward, the fair value of the ALTI determined under the Monte Carlo simulation will be updated quarterly, and remaining amortization expense will be adjusted for changes in the value of the ALTI.

NOTE C – CONTINGENCIES

Kforce is involved in a number of claims and lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although management does not expect any of these claims or lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on Kforce’s financial condition, such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks.

NOTE D – STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

In 1994, Kforce established the Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan that allows the issuance of Incentive Stock Options. The Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan was subsequently amended in 1996 to allow for the issuance of Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan was increased from 6,000 at inception to 12,000 in 2001. The Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in March of 2005.

During 1995, Kforce established the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, which authorized the issuance to non-employee directors of options to purchase common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock that can be issued under this plan is 400. The Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan expired in October of 2005.

On June 20, 2006, at the annual meeting of the shareholders of Kforce, the shareholders approved the Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan was previously adopted by the board of directors on April 28, 2006, subject to the approval of the shareholders of Kforce. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment upon a change in capitalization, is 3,000,000. The Stock Incentive Plan terminates on April 28, 2016. No awards have been granted pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2006.

A summary of Kforce’s stock option and restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is as follows:

During the first and fourth quarters of 2004, Kforce granted 88 and 223 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to certain members of senior management. The shares vest at the end of the following two-year periods. Upon issuance of the restricted stock shares, unearned compensation of $819 and $2,444, respectively, which is equivalent to the market value at the date of the grant, was charged to stockholders’ equity. Unearned compensation of $1,094 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital on January 1, 2006, in accordance with the modified prospective method of transition prescribed by SFAS 123R. Restricted stock compensation of $281 and $563 and $393 and $785 was included in compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. A tax benefit of $113 and $226 and $171 and $317 attributable to restricted stock compensation was recognized in income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The value of time-based restricted stock is determined by its intrinsic value (as if the underlying shares were vested and issued) on the grant date. The following table summarizes the Company’s time-based nonvested share activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

NOTE E – ACQUISITIONS

PCCI Holdings, Inc.

On January 31, 2006, Kforce acquired PCCI Holdings, Inc., pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Kforce, Trevose Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kforce (“Merger Sub”), PCCI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PCCI”), H.I.G. Pinkerton, Inc., a Cayman company, in its capacity as Representative, William D. Pinkerton and Richard J. Quigley. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Kforce acquired all of the outstanding stock of PCCI for approximately $60,000 (the “Purchase Price) payable in cash at closing, subject to certain adjustments as provided for in the Merger Agreement. On the closing date, Kforce placed into escrow $6,000 of the total Purchase Price to secure PCCI’s indemnification obligations, and to satisfy certain adjustments to the Purchase Price. To the extent that escrowed funds remain after satisfaction of PCCI’s indemnification obligations and Purchase Price adjustments, those amounts will be released to PCCI and accounted for as Purchase Price as of the date the proceeds are issuable from the escrow. The results of PCCI’s operations since the date of acquisition have been included in Kforce’s consolidated financial statements.

PCCI was a privately held company based in Trevose, Pennsylvania that, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (primarily Pinkerton Computer Consultants, Inc.), produced revenue of approximately $95,000 in technology staffing and the Federal government IT services sector over the last 12 months. Approximately 35% of that revenue was generated in the government sector. As a result of the above acquisition, Kforce expanded its presence in technology staffing in both the Federal government and commercial sectors.

Kforce incurred $64,745 in transaction costs, inclusive of purchase price, which includes $64,412 of transaction costs paid in 2006, $198 of transactions costs paid in 2005, and accrual of liabilities of $135. Net assets of $11,513 were acquired as a result of the transaction. As of June 30, 2006, $6,000 of the total transaction costs remained on deposit in escrow. $1,000 of the escrow is expected to be released from escrow during the quarter ending September 30, 2006, as provided for in the Merger Agreement discussed above, and has been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, $371 of this escrow was returned to Kforce, and the remaining $629 was released to PCCI. The remaining $5,000 of the escrow deposit is available to satisfy adjustments to purchase price and indemnification obligations of PCCI until the expiration of the escrow period on March 31, 2007, and has been included in other assets, net on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006.

Preliminarily, $5,000 of the excess purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets. Such value is expected to be assigned to customer lists and non-compete agreements that have weighted average useful lives of approximately 4 years.

The $42,232 of remaining excess purchase price has been assigned to goodwill. This goodwill has been allocated to the Technology business segment. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The final allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities has not been completed.

VistaRMS, Inc.

On February 1, 2005, Kforce completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of VistaRMS, Inc. (“Vista”), a privately-held company based in Herndon, Virginia, in exchange for 2,348 shares of Kforce common stock. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. The results of Vista’s operations since the date of acquisition have been included in Kforce’s consolidated financial statements. Vista had produced revenue of approximately $50,000 in technology staffing over the 12 months prior to the acquisition with approximately 40% of that revenue in the Federal government sector. As a result of this acquisition, Kforce has been able to expand its presence in the Federal government sector.

As consideration for the purchase, Kforce issued 2,348 shares of Kforce stock of which 1,233 were held in escrow under the terms of the agreement. The Kforce stock was valued at a price of $11.57 per share, the average market price of the shares from the period 5 days before and after the date the agreement was signed and announced. At December 31, 2005, 1,584 shares were issued under the terms of the agreement, with a total addition to equity of $18,324, and 450 shares remained in escrow. Kforce also incurred $455 in transaction costs, which includes $179 of transaction costs paid in 2004, and assumed net liabilities of $663. On February 2, 2006, 225 of the 450 shares remaining in escrow were issued under the terms of the agreement resulting in a $2,602 increase in Goodwill. To the extent additional shares are issued out of escrow to Vista after purchase price contingencies have been resolved, those shares will be recorded as an addition to the purchase price.

Kforce reports segment information in accordance with SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of Enterprise and Related Information”, which requires companies to report selected segment information on a quarterly basis and to report certain entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the material countries in which the entity holds assets and reports revenues. SFAS 131 requires a management approach in determining reportable segments of an organization. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operational decisions and addressing performance as the source of determining Kforce’s reportable segments. Kforce’s internal reporting follows its three functional service offerings: Tech, FA and HLS.

Historically, and through June 30, 2006, Kforce has generated only revenue and gross profit information on a functional basis. As such, asset information by segment is not disclosed. Substantially all operations and long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this report which speak only as of the date of this report. Kforce undertakes no obligation to publicly publish the results of any adjustments to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events on or after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unexpected events.

OVERVIEW

This overview is intended to assist readers in better understanding this MDA. Item 1 of this Form 10-Q includes additional information.

Who We Are

We are a national provider of professional and technical specialty staffing services. At June 30, 2006, we operated 76 field offices in 43 markets and provide services in 50 states through these offices or from our headquarters in Tampa, Florida. We provide our clients staffing services through three business segments: Technology (“Tech”), Finance and Accounting (“FA”), and Health and Life Sciences (“HLS”). Substantially all Tech and FA services are sold and delivered through our field offices. The HLS segment includes our Clinical Research (formerly Pharmaceutical), Scientific, Healthcare-Nursing (“Nursing”) and Health Information Management (“HIM”) specialties. The sales and delivery functions of substantial portions of HLS, particularly Clinical Research and HIM, are concentrated in our headquarters, with services being provided for certain clients through our field offices. Our headquarters provides support services to our field offices in areas such as human resources, nationwide recruiting, training, and national sales initiatives, in addition to the traditional “back office” support services like payroll, billing, accounting, legal, tax, data processing and marketing, which are highly centralized.

Kforce is focused on providing “staffing” services to our clients. Our staffing services include Flexible Staffing Services (“Flex”) and Search Services (“Search”).

Flex

Through Flex, we provide clients with qualified individuals (“consultants”) on a temporary basis with the appropriate skills and experience, when it is determined it is “the right match”. To be successful, our employees (“associates”) endeavor to (1) understand the clients’ needs, (2) determine and understand the capabilities of the consultants being recruited, and (3) deliver and manage the client-consultant relationship to the satisfaction of both the clients and the consultants. Typically, the better job Kforce and our consultants do, the longer the assignments last and the more often those clients turn to Kforce for additional needs.

The Flex business comprised 92.5% of our revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Flex revenues are driven by hours billed and billing rates. Flex gross profit is determined by deducting consultant pay, benefits and other related costs from Flex revenues. Flex associate commissions, related taxes and other compensation and benefits as well as field management compensation are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) along with administrative and corporate costs. The Flex business model involves attempting to maximize consultant hours and billing rates, while optimizing consultant pay rates and benefit costs and commissions and other compensation and benefits for associates, as well as minimizing the other operating costs necessary to effectively support such activities.

 

16


Search

The Search business is a smaller, yet important part of our business that involves locating permanent employees for our clients. We primarily perform searches on a contingency basis, with fees being earned only if personnel are hired by our clients. Fees are typically structured as a percentage of the placed individual’s first-year annual compensation. We recruit permanent employees from our Flex consultant population, from the job boards, and from candidates we identify who are currently employed and not actively seeking another position. Sometimes consultants initially work with clients on a Flex basis and then later are converted into permanent employees, for which we also receive Search fees. There can be no assurance or expectation that Search revenues will increase if economic conditions improve, as has been the case in previous economic cycles. Clients and recruits are often targets for both Flex and Search services, and this common focus contributes to our objective of providing integrated solutions for all of our clients’ human capital needs.

Search revenues are driven by placements made and the fees billed. There are no consultant payroll costs associated with the placement and thus all search revenue generally increases gross profit by a like amount. Search associate commissions, compensation and benefits are also included in SG&A. Search revenues comprised 7.5% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Our Industry

We serve Fortune 1000 companies, as well as small and mid-size local and regional companies, with our largest ten clients representing approximately 19% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The specialty staffing industry is made up of thousands of companies, most of which are small local firms providing a limited service offering to a small local client base. We believe Kforce is one of the ten largest specialty staffing firms in the United States, that the ten firms combined have a market share of less than 21% of the applicable market and that no single firm has a larger than 5% market share. Competition in a particular market can come from many different companies, either large or small. We believe, however, that our geographic presence, diversified service offerings within our core businesses, and focus on consistent sales and delivery that is highly disciplined, provide a competitive advantage, particularly with larger clients that have operations in multiple markets.

We believe 2003 was a bottoming-out year for the economy and for the staffing industry after having declined for approximately three years and that indicators favorable for staffing services improved through 2006. Selected industry reports indicate the United States temporary staffing industry has shown revenue levels of $76 billion in 2003, $81 billion in 2004 and $107 billion in 2005. Of course, no predictions can or should be made about the general economy, the staffing industry as a whole, or specialty staffing in particular. We do believe, however, that a sustained economic recovery will stimulate demand for substantial additional U.S. workers or conversely, an economic slowdown will cause demand for additional U.S. workers to contract, that Flex demand generally increases before demand for permanent placements increases, that our three areas of focus, Tech, FA and HLS, will be among the higher growth categories in both the short and long-term and that over the long-term, temporary staffing will become a higher percentage of total jobs, particularly in the professional and technical areas. Further, we believe that the recent positive trends in our operating results, which we believe have been enhanced by the streamlining of our operations and centralizing certain support functions during the economic downturn of 2001-2003, demonstrate a strong positioning for success. There can be no assurance that customer demand for Kforce’s specialty staffing sectors will return to previous levels or that pricing will return to historical levels. In addition, according to a recent survey of board members of mostly global companies by the American Staffing Association, 90% now utilize temporary staffing services. There can be no assurance that the HLS business segment will be able to assemble a sufficient candidate pool to service client needs. Partially driven by requirements at many public companies pertaining to the adoption of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, competition for finance and accounting candidates significantly increased in 2004 and 2005. There can be no assurance that Kforce will be able to assemble a sufficient candidate pool to service client needs in finance and accounting. In addition, a number of national staffing companies are increasingly utilizing a lower-priced staffing preferred-vendor model. These factors may impact the future growth and profitability of Kforce.

Acquisition of VistaRMS, Inc.

On February 1, 2005, Kforce completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of VistaRMS, Inc. (“Vista”), a privately held company based in Herndon, Virginia, in exchange for 2.3 million shares of Kforce common stock. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. The results of Vista’s operations since the date of acquisition have been included in Kforce’s consolidated financial statements. Vista had produced revenue of approximately $50 million in technology staffing over the 12 months prior to the acquisition with approximately 40% of that revenue in the Federal government sector.

 

17


Acquisition of PCCI Holdings, Inc.

On January 31, 2006, Kforce acquired PCCI Holdings, Inc., pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Kforce, Trevose Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kforce (“Merger Sub”), PCCI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PCCI”), H.I.G. Pinkerton, Inc., a Cayman company, in its capacity as Representative, William D. Pinkerton and Richard J. Quigley. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Kforce acquired all of the outstanding stock of PCCI for approximately $60,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) payable in cash at closing, subject to certain adjustments as provided for in the Merger Agreement. On the closing date, Kforce placed into escrow $6,000,000 of the total Purchase Price to secure PCCI’s indemnification obligations and to satisfy certain adjustments to the Purchase Price. The results of PCCI’s operations since the date of acquisition have been included in Kforce’s consolidated financial statements.

PCCI was a privately held company based in Trevose, Pennsylvania that, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (primarily Pinkerton Computer Consultants, Inc.), produced revenue of approximately $95 million in technology staffing and the Federal government IT services sector over the last 12 months. Approximately 35% of that revenue was generated in the government sector. As a result of the above acquisition, Kforce expanded its presence in technology staffing in both the Federal government and commercial sectors.

The acquisitions expanded Kforce’s service offerings in technology in the Federal government sector. We believe the integration of the operations of Vista and PCCI into Kforce has had a positive effect on revenues, net income and earnings per share beginning in the first quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006, respectively. We have not compiled separate results for the former Vista and portions of the PCCI operations because these operations have been fully integrated into Kforce and it is not feasible to track their results.

Highlights

The sections that follow this overview discuss and refer to critical accounting estimates and recent pronouncements, Kforce’s results of operations and important aspects of its liquidity and capital resources. Set forth below are what we believe to be important highlights of our operating results and our positioning for the future. Such highlights should be considered in the context of all of the discussions herein and in conjunction with the Financial Statements. We believe such highlights are as follows:

 

    Revenue continued its growth into the second quarter of 2006, with sequential growth of 5.4% over the first quarter of 2006 and growth of 18.1% over the second quarter of 2005.

 

    Search revenue continued its growth into the second quarter of 2006 with sequential growth of 5.3%, growth of 27.2% over the second quarter of 2005, and represented 7.5% of Kforce’s net service revenue for the quarter.

 

    Gross profit margins have improved 3.7% to 34.5% in the second quarter of 2006 from 33.3% in the first quarter of 2006 and 7.0% over 32.3% gross profit achieved during the second quarter of 2005.

 

    Kforce completed the acquisition and substantially completed the integration of PCCI during the first quarter of 2006.

 

    Operating expenses decreased to 28.1% of revenues for the second quarter of 2006 versus 28.3% for the first quarter of 2006, and increased from 27.4% for the second quarter of 2005, reflecting our investment in sales and sales support personnel, training, marketing, recruiting and infrastructure projects.

 

    We believe that the quality of accounts receivable, our primary operating asset, continues to be good, with days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at 40.3 days and an allowance for doubtful accounts and fallouts of 3.6%.

 

    Kforce’s stock price on the NASDAQ National Market increased 38.8% from $11.16 on December 31, 2005 to $15.49 at June 30, 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

The SEC has indicated that “critical accounting estimates” may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and due to their material impact on financial condition or operating performance. Readers should also refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Note A to the Financial Statements for additional information. The following discussion is intended to assist the readers’ understanding of the judgments, accounting estimates, and uncertainties inherent in the more significant of Kforce’s policies.

 

18


This section is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all accounting estimates and all accounting policies are not set forth in the Financial Statements. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s estimates and its judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Fallouts

Kforce has established a reserve for estimated credit losses and fallouts on trade receivables based on our past experience and expectations of potential future write-offs, and ongoing analysis of factors including short and long-term write-off trends, changes in economic conditions, and concentration of accounts receivable among clients. The allowance as a percentage of gross accounts receivable was 3.6% as of June 30, 2006 and 4.9% as of December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, no single client has a receivable balance greater than 3.0% of total accounts receivable, and the largest ten clients represent approximately 17.6% of the total accounts receivable balance. Kforce incurred significant write-offs of accounts receivable in certain prior years and minimal write-offs or net write-ons in more current periods. We cannot predict that such recent results can be sustained, particularly in a period of revenue growth. Also, it is possible that the write-off results could be materially and adversely impacted as the composition of accounts receivable changes over time. This is especially true if the economy deteriorates. We continually review and refine the estimation process to make it as responsive to these changes as possible.

Income Taxes

Kforce incurred net losses for each of the four years ending December 31, 2002, and, as a result, has significant net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for both federal and state income tax purposes. For accounting purposes, the estimated tax effects of such NOLs, plus or net of timing differences, result in current and non-current deferred tax assets. However, a determination must be made that it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax assets will be realized, or valuation allowances must be established to offset such assets. At December 31, 2002, a “more likely than not” conclusion could not be reached, and the deferred tax assets were fully reserved. Kforce also acquired certain deferred tax assets in 2004 from Hall Kinion which were also fully reserved at the date of acquisition. Kforce had net income during each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2003, and portions of the deferred tax assets were recognized in that year by reducing such assets and the related valuation allowances instead of providing income tax expense, other than certain state tax expense or benefits. Kforce also had net income during each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2004. As a result of Kforce’s profitability in each of the quarters for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and the corresponding forecast of future operating earnings, Kforce changed the conclusion reached at December 31, 2002. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2004, Kforce recognized a $13.5 million income tax benefit, which consisted of the reversal of the valuation allowance in 2004, net of current and deferred income tax of $5.7 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2004, Kforce reversed $21.8 million of valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets acquired in conjunction with the Hall Kinion acquisition. This reversal was recorded as an offset to goodwill. At June 30, 2006, Kforce had remaining a valuation allowance of $1.4 million to offset certain deferred tax assets, including certain deferred tax assets acquired from Hall Kinion, for which a “more likely than not” conclusion could not be reached. Kforce will continue to evaluate this conclusion on a quarterly basis.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, Kforce has recorded an income tax provision of $5.6 million which includes a current income tax provision of $137,000 and a deferred income tax provision of $5.5 million because of the availability of federal and state NOLs.

Goodwill

Kforce conducts an annual assessment of the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. The annual assessments found that no impairment existed for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 or 2003. The annual assessment requires estimates and judgments by management to determine valuations for each “reporting unit”, which for Kforce are Tech, FA, and HLS. Kforce utilizes two primary methods in its annual assessment of goodwill, a discounted cash flow method and a market approach (the guideline public company method), and considers the results of each to value its reporting units. The discounted cash flow method is an income approach whereby the value of the reporting unit is determined by discounting each reporting unit’s cash flow at an appropriate discount rate. In the most recent assessment of goodwill, Kforce utilized weighted average costs of capital ranging from 12.8 to 14.3 percent, costs of equity ranging from 14.5 to 15.5 percent, and an after tax cost of debt of 3.7% percent in order to value each of its reporting units under the discounted cash flow method. The guideline public company method is an approach that applies pricing multiples derived from comparable publicly traded guideline companies to the respective reporting unit to determine its value. In the most recent assessment of goodwill, Kforce utilized invested capital/revenue multiples ranging from .31 to .50, and invested capital/EBITDA multiples ranging from 14.10 to 16.70 in order to value each of its reporting units under the guideline public

 

19


company method. To the extent that economic conditions or the actual business activities and prospects of Kforce are materially worse in the future, the carrying value of goodwill assigned to any or all of its reporting units could require material write-downs. Kforce intends to perform the required annual testing in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Kforce periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine if impairment has occurred. In Kforce’s case, this primarily relates to fixed assets, capitalized software, and identifiable intangible assets (other than goodwill) from acquisitions, which are being depreciated or amortized as described in the Financial Statements and which had net book values at June 30, 2006 of $11.1 million, $7.8 million, and $12.2 million, respectively. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded in the period identified. Significant judgment is required to determine whether or not impairment has occurred. The determination is made by evaluating expected future undiscounted cash flows or the anticipated recoverability of costs incurred and, if necessary, determining the amount of the loss, if any, by evaluating the fair value of the assets.

Self-Insurance

Kforce offers employee benefits programs, including workers compensation and health insurance, to eligible employees, for which Kforce is self-insured for a portion of the cost. Kforce retains liability up to $250,000 for each workers compensation claim and up to $250,000 annually for each health insurance claim for which it is not insured. These self-insurance costs are accrued using estimates to approximate the liability for reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. Kforce believes that its estimation processes are adequate and its estimates in these areas have consistently been similar to actual results. However, estimates in this area are highly judgmental and future results could be materially different.

Kforce maintains a number of insurance policies including general liability, automobile liability and employers’ liability (each with excess liability coverage). We also maintain workers compensation, fidelity, fiduciary, directors and officers, professional liability, and employment practices liability policies. These policies provide coverage subject to their terms, conditions, limits of liability, and deductibles, for certain liabilities that may arise from Kforce’s operations. There can be no assurance that any of the above coverage will be adequate for our needs, or that we will maintain all such policies in the future.

Revenue Recognition

Net service revenues constitute the largest single item in our financial statements, though estimates in regard to revenue recognition are not material in nature. Net service revenues consist of Search fees and Flex billings inclusive of billable expenses, net of credits, discounts, rebates and fallouts. Kforce recognizes Flex billings based on the hours worked and reported, together with reimbursable expenses, by placed consultants. Search fees are recognized upon placement, net of an allowance for “fallouts.” Fallouts are Search placements that do not complete the applicable contingency period which vary on a contract by contract basis. Contingency periods are typically ninety days or less. The allowance for fallouts is estimated based upon historical activity of Search placements that do not complete the contingency period and expectations of future fallouts, and is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts as a reduction in receivables.

Accrued Commissions

Associates earn commissions as a percentage of actual revenue or gross profit pursuant to a calendar year basis commission plan. For each associate, the amount of commissions paid as a percentage of revenue or gross profit increases as revenue levels increase. For interim periods, Kforce accrues commissions for actual revenue at a percentage equal to the percentage of total expected commissions payable to total revenue for the entire year. In estimating the percentage of expected commissions payable, Kforce uses factors including anticipated revenue and the write-offs anticipated for each associate. To the extent that these estimates differ from the actual results, commissions accrued could be materially different than commissions paid. Because of the calendar year basis of the plans, this estimation process is more significant at interim quarter ends than it is at calendar year end.

Accrued Bonuses

Kforce pays bonuses to certain executive management, field management and corporate employees based on, or after giving consideration to, a variety of measures of quarterly and annual performance. Executive and corporate bonuses are accrued for payment near year end, based in part upon anticipated annual results compared to annual budgets. Field management bonuses are a component of approved compensation plans which specify individual incentive target levels based on actual results. Variances in revenue, gross margin, sales, general and administrative expenses or net income at a consolidated, segment or individual manager level can have a significant impact on the calculations and therefore the estimates of the required accruals. Accordingly, the actual earned bonuses may be materially different from the estimates used to determine the quarterly accruals.

 

20


Accounting for Business Combinations

Kforce accounts for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141). Pursuant to SFAS 141, Kforce utilizes the purchase method in accounting for acquisitions whereby the total purchase price is first allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any remaining purchase price is allocated to goodwill. Kforce recognizes intangible assets apart from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights, or if they are capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Assumptions and estimates are used in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Valuation of intangible assets acquired requires that we use significant judgment in determining (i) fair value; and (ii) whether such intangibles are amortizable or non-amortizable and, if the former, the period and the method by which the intangible asset will be amortized. Changes in the initial assumptions could lead to changes in amortization charges recorded in our financial statements. Additionally, estimates for purchase price allocations may change as subsequent information becomes available.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Kforce continued its trend of strong financial results in the second quarter of 2006, and experienced sequential revenue growth of 5.4%. This quarter makes fourteen straight quarters of profitability for Kforce. In comparison with the second quarter of 2005, Kforce experienced significant increases in revenues and gross profit, and a strong improvement in income before income taxes. In addition, both the Flex and Search components of our revenues have shown growth throughout 2005 and 2006; however, it remains difficult to predict whether there will be future growth in our Search business. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased slightly as compared to the second quarter of 2005, due to our investment in sales and sales support personnel, training, marketing, recruiting and infrastructure projects, as well as some duplicate back office expenses of PCCI that were eliminated by the end of the second quarter of 2006.

We believe the key components of our recent success were the initiatives undertaken during the last several years to restructure both our back office and field operations. The results of these efforts have increased operating efficiencies, thereby lowering our break-even level and enabling us to be more responsive to our clients. We believe our field operations model, which allows us to deliver our service offerings in a disciplined and consistent manner across all geographies and business lines, as well as our highly centralized back office operations, are competitive advantages and keys to our future growth and profitability. Also important to our future growth is our tested acquisition integration strategy. Having completed the integration of three major acquisitions over the last three years, we believe that we have built a repeatable model that can allow us to integrate future acquisitions quickly, if we have the opportunity.

The acquisitions of Vista, effective February 1, 2005, and PCCI, effective January 31, 2006, continue to impact our financial results and business drivers. As a result of our successful integration efforts, revenues and costs contributed by the acquired entities are merged into the Kforce business segments, making it not feasible to accurately estimate the impact of the acquired businesses on Kforce’s consolidated revenues and margins. Exclusive of any impacts of the acquisitions, we believe that demand is increasing and revenues are growing in all business segments. In addition, we believe that the acquisitions have provided a positive impact on Flex revenues for the Technology segment. Search business and the Finance and Accounting and HLS segments were not materially affected by the acquisitions. Kforce believes a portion of the increase in SG&A, during the first and second quarters of 2005 and 2006, is attributable to non-recurring integration expenses, transaction-related charges and temporary duplicate expenses related to the acquisitions.

The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net service revenues, certain items in our consolidated statements of operations for the indicated periods:

Results of Operations for each of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Net service revenues. Net service revenues increased 18.1% and 16.7%, respectively, to $234.4 million and $456.7 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2006, as compared to $198.5 million and $391.4 million for the same periods in 2005. The increase was comprised of a $3.8 million and a $7.1 million increase in Search fees and a $32.2 million and $58.2 million increase in Flex revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as described below.

All three of Kforce’s business segments showed total revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005.

Flexible Billings. Flex revenues in the Tech segment increased 30.7% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. HLS and FA segment revenues, which were unaffected by the acquisitions, grew 10.9% and 0.5%, respectively, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The primary drivers of Flex billings are the number of hours billed and bill rate per hour. Essentially, the number of hours billed is a depiction of the number of assignments available requiring temporary staffing personnel. Improvements in economic conditions and our focus on pricing and customer profitability contributed to the increase in the average bill rate per hour from $43.10 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, to $50.12 during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Total hours billed increased 0.9% to 4.2 million hours and decreased 0.3% to 8.4 million hours for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively from 4.2 million hours and 8.4 million hours for the same periods in 2005. Flex hours billed for the three months and six months ended June 30, by segment, were as follows:

Billable expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 for HLS and decreased for Tech and FA, as compared to the same periods in 2005. Changes in HLS billed expenses have corresponded with the overall changes in Flex billings for the segment. The changes in Tech and FA are attributable to increases or decreases in project work. Flex billable expenses included in revenue, by segment, for the three and six months ended June 30 were:

   $ 8,627    $ 7,284    18.4 %
                

Search Fees. The increase in Search fees is primarily attributable to an increase in the average placement fee and an increase in the total number of placements. Total placements increased 14.4% to 1,347 and 10.8% to 2,634 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and from 1,178 and 2,378 for the same periods in 2005, respectively. Search activity historically increases after economic conditions have shown sustained improvement and is strongest during the peak of an economic cycle, although there can be no assurance that this historical trend will be followed in the current cycle. We believe that the PCCI acquisition had only a minimal impact on Search revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Gross Profit. Gross profit on Flex billings is determined by deducting the direct cost of services (primarily flexible personnel payroll wages, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurance, and subcontract costs) from net service revenues. Consistent with industry practices, gross profit dollars from search fees are equal to revenues, because there are generally no direct costs associated with such revenues. Gross profit increased 26.3% to $80.9 million and 24.8% to $154.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, from $64.1 million and $124.1 million for the same periods in 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 34.5% and 33.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to 32.3% and 31.7% for the same periods in 2005.

The increase in gross profit is attributable to increases in volume for Search and Flex in addition to an overall increase in the spread between bill rate and pay rate (“Flex Rate”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005. The increase in Flex gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $13.1 million, resulting from a $12.6 million increase in Flex rate and a $0.5 million increase in volume. The increase in Flex gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $23.8 million, resulting from a $0.4 million decrease in volume and a $24.2 million increase in Flex Rate. The increase in Search gross profit of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was comprised of a $2.3 million increase in volume and a $1.5 million increase in rate for the three months. The increase in Search gross profit of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was comprised of a $3.4 million increase in volume and a $3.7 million increase in rate for the six months.

Total

   33.9 %   31.7 %   7.0 %

The increase in total gross profit percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005 was the result of increases in both Flex gross profit percentage and an increase in Search revenues as a percent of total revenues.

Flex gross profit, year over year, has seen an overall improvement due to an improvement in the Flex Rate. The Flex Rate has improved throughout 2005, and has continued through the second quarter of 2006. Below is a table detailing Flex gross profit percentages by segment:

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased to $63.3 million and $123.8 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to $52.4 million and $104.7 for the same periods in 2005. The increases in SG&A expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, are primarily attributable to compensation costs relating to the continuing operations of the acquired PCCI business and increases in compensation expense incurred from our continued investments in sales and sales support personnel, training, marketing, recruiting and infrastructure projects, as discussed below. Increased SG&A costs related to the PCCI acquisition included non-recurring integration expenses, transaction-related charges and temporary duplicate expenses related to PCCI back office operations. We believe such duplicate back office expenses have been eliminated as of the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Other increases in SG&A costs included an increase in travel expense of $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 due to

 

24


increasing company wide training programs as well as training our sales associates. Staffing expense also increased $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 due to increased hiring of sales associates for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Even with such increased costs, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net service revenues only increased to 27.0% and 27.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 26.4% and 26.8% for the same periods in 2005, which we believe reflects the leverage and scalability of the business.

Total commissions, compensation, payroll taxes, and benefits costs were $49.6 million and $96.2 million which represented 78.4% and 77.7% of total SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and $41.1 million and $81.4 million or 78.3% and 77.7% of total SG&A for the same periods in 2005. Increases in commissions and other incentive compensation relate to increases in gross profit and improved sales. Additional increases in compensation expense are due primarily to increases in headcount to support the larger business, the increasing costs of payroll taxes, particularly unemployment taxes which have risen in recent years, offset slightly by decreases in health benefit costs. The guiding principles related to employee compensation include competitive simplified compensation plans that clearly pay for performance and align with Kforce’s objectives. Commissions and related payroll taxes and benefit costs are variable costs driven primarily by revenue and gross profit levels, and associate productivity.

Kforce did not have any outstanding unvested options as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, fair value accounting required by SFAS 123R, which was adopted by Kforce on January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective method, did not result in any compensation expense from any of Kforce’s currently outstanding options.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 30.6% and 36.3% to $2.6 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2.0 million and $3.8 million for the same periods in 2005. The increase in expense for the period ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods in 2005, was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to the Vista and PCCI acquisitions and the amortization of capital leases related to computer hardware.

Kforce has implemented new front office and related computer software beginning in April 2005, which we believe will enhance the efficiency and productivity of our sales and delivery activities; our order, time entry, billing and cash receipt processes; and also improve customer service. Subsequent to that implementation, Kforce has continued to develop related back office software. Kforce has incurred development and implementation costs of $330,000 and $617,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $872,000 and $1,781,000 for the same periods in 2005, respectively, which were capitalized. Kforce will incur additional capital costs and possibly purchase additional software as the implementation project continues. We believe this project will lead to increases in software amortization and maintenance costs in future periods.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net increased 108.5% and 84.2% to $1.0 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and from $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the same periods in 2005. The increase of $0.5 million and $0.8 million was primarily due to an increase in interest expense resulting from increases in debt balances related to the acquisition of PCCI.

Income before taxes. Income before taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, increased to $14.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively, as compared to income before taxes of $9.1 million and $14.6 million for the same periods in 2005, as a result of the factors discussed above.

Income tax provision. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Kforce has recorded an income tax provision of $5.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $3.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2005. The income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 includes a current income tax provision of $137,000 and a deferred income tax provision of $5.5 million, because of the availability of federal and state NOLs. At June 30, 2006, Kforce continues to carry a valuation allowance of $1.4 million to offset certain deferred tax assets, including certain deferred tax assets acquired from Hall Kinion, for which a “more likely than not” conclusion could not be reached. Kforce will continue to evaluate this conclusion on a quarterly basis.

Net income. Net income increased to $8.4 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to $5.7 million and $8.7 million for the same periods in 2005, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, we have financed our operations through cash generated by operating activities and cash available under our revolving credit facility. As highlighted in the Statements of Cash Flows, Kforce’s liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: existing cash and equivalents, operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.

 

25


Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents totaled $0.8 million as of June 30, 2006, a decrease of $36.3 million from the $37.1 million at year-end 2005. As further described below, Kforce generated $8.5 million of cash for operating activities, used $67.1 million of cash in investing activities and generated $22.4 million from financing activities, during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash flow provided by operations was approximately $8.5 million, resulting primarily from net income of $14.4 million, a deferred income tax provision of $9.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $5.1 million, an increase in accrued payroll costs of $2.8 million and an increase in bank overdrafts of $2.8 million, offset by excess tax benefit attributable to option exercises of $4.0 million, an increase in trade receivables of $14.6 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.7 million, an increase in other assets, net, of $1.7 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $2.9 million.

Kforce’s gross accounts receivable were $137.3 million at June 30, 2006, which was a $32.8 million increase from $104.5 million at the end of 2005. The majority of this increase is due to the acquisition of PCCI and increased revenues. If we continue to experience growth in revenue, we may need to finance increases in accounts receivable. Currently, significant capacity exists for this purpose under the Credit Facility as described below.

At June 30, 2006, Kforce had $79.6 million in positive working capital in addition to its $0.8 million of cash and equivalents. Its current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 2.05 at June 30, 2006.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash flow used in investing activities was approximately $67.1 million. The primary driver for the use of cash in investing activities was the acquisition of PCCI which totaled $64.6 million. Additionally, in order to improve the productivity and functionality of our sales force and our support operations, Kforce has used funds for capital expenditures of $2.5 million primarily for new software development, field office growth and computer equipment refreshes. Kforce anticipates capital expenditures for 2006 will be at approximately the same level as 2005. Kforce believes it has sufficient cash and borrowing capacity to fund these and such other capital expenditures as are necessary to operate our business.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash flow provided by financing activities was approximately $22.4 million resulting primarily from $13.0 million in net borrowings from our Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of PCCI. In addition, Kforce received proceeds of $13.5 million from the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits, repaid certain capital expenditure financing totaling $1.2 million, and repurchased $2.9 million in common stock.

Credit Facility

On October 28, 2005, Kforce entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Extended Credit Facility”) with a syndicate led by Bank of America. Under the Extended Credit Facility, Kforce’s maximum borrowings are limited to $100 million. In addition, Kforce has the right under the Extended Credit Facility to increase the maximum borrowings available to $140 million under an accordion feature. Borrowings under the Extended Credit Facility are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable. Under the Extended Credit Facility, Kforce may have loans outstanding with a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% or Prime minus 0.25%. To the extent that Kforce has unused availability under the Extended Credit Facility, an unused line fee is required to be paid equal to 0.25% of the average unused balance on a monthly basis. Kforce was required to pay a closing fee of $250,000 upon entering into the Extended Credit Facility, and is also required to pay an annual administrative fee of $50,000. Borrowings under the Extended Credit Facility are secured by all of the assets of Kforce. Under the Extended Credit Facility, Kforce is required to meet certain minimum availability and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements, and is permitted to make dividend distributions if borrowing availability under the Extended Credit Facility is not less than $15 million after giving effect to the distributions. Kforce has been in compliance with the minimum availability and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements at all times during the history of the Extended Credit Facility. The Extended Credit Facility expires on November 3, 2010. In addition to the $48.0 million and $45.0 million outstanding, the amounts available under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2006 and August 4, 2006 were $38.4 million and $41.8 million, respectively.

In March, April and May of 2003, we entered into four fixed interest rate swap contracts for a total notional amount of $22 million expiring in March and May of 2005. The contracts, which have been classified as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS 133,

 

26


as amended, effectively converted $22 million of our outstanding debt under the Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis at an annual rate of approximately 4%, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. One of these contracts expired on March 29, 2005. Subsequent to March 29, 2005, the remaining contracts effectively converted $12 million of our outstanding debt under the credit facility to a fixed rate basis of approximately 4% until their expiration on May 31, 2005. After the expiration of the remaining interest rate swap contracts and prior to Kforce entering into the Extended Credit Facility, Kforce’s interest rate on the entire Credit Facility returned to rates ranging from Prime to Prime plus .75% or LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 3.25% pursuant to certain financial performance targets as set forth in the original Amended Credit Facility.

On June 23, 2005, our Board of Directors increased its authorization for open market repurchases of common stock by $20 million to $135 million. At June 30, 2006, and August 4, 2006 we had repurchased approximately 20.6 million shares for $117.8 million under this plan. Approximately 190,000 shares have been repurchased during 2006 for approximately $2.9 million. Therefore, approximately $17.2 million was available under the current board authorization as of June 30, 2006 and August 4, 2006. Additional stock repurchases could have a material impact on the cash flow requirements for the next twelve months.

Total

   $ 108,172    $ 15,023    $ 14,693    $ 54,335    $ 24,121
                                  

Kforce has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan pursuant to which eligible highly compensated key employees may elect to defer part of their compensation to later years. These amounts, which are classified as other accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities depending on their scheduled payment, are payable upon retirement or termination of employment. Amounts payable upon the retirement or termination of employment may become payable during the next five years if covered employees retire or terminate during that time.

Kforce provides letters of credit to certain vendors in lieu of cash deposits. Kforce currently has letters of credit totaling $5.7 million outstanding for facility lease deposits, workers compensation and property insurance obligations.

Kforce has no material unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or guarantees associated with any related parties or unconsolidated entities.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be adequate to meet the capital expenditure and the working capital requirements of current operations for at least the next twelve months. However, deterioration in the business environment and market conditions could negatively impact operating results and liquidity. There is no assurance that, if operations were to deteriorate and additional financing were to become necessary, we will be able to obtain financing in amounts sufficient to meet operating requirements or at terms which are satisfactory and which allow us to remain competitive. Our expectation that existing resources will fund capital expenditure and working capital requirements is a forward-looking statement that is subject to risks and uncertainties.

Actual results could differ from those indicated as a result of a number of factors, including the use of currently available resources for possible acquisitions and possible additional stock repurchases.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Kforce is exposed to a variety of risks, including changes in interest rates on borrowings. As of June 30, 2006, the amount outstanding on our Credit Facility currently bears interest at a rate of 6.6% on $48.0 million of the debt. At this level of $48.0 million of debt and this effective rate of 6.6% on the entire balance, for a period of one year, interest expense would be approximately $3.2 million. Kforce does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments for speculative purposes. Kforce believes that effects of changes in interest rates are limited and a 1% change in rates would have an annual effect of approximately $480,000 on our interest expense.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2006, we carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”). Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.

Changes in Internal Controls

There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the Evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than the additional risk factor listed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

On January 31, 2006 Kforce acquired PCCI, which produced revenue of approximately $95 million in the technology staffing and the Federal government IT services sector over the last 12 months. Approximately 35% of that revenue was generated in the government sector. As a Federal contractor, PCCI is subject to certain risks, including unanticipated loss or reduction of one or more contracts or GSA schedules, failure of one or more agencies to fund or fully fund their contracts with PCCI, and various regulatory, legal, accounting, audit, procurement and compliance risks associated with Federal government contracting, which risks can lead to a variety of penalties and sanctions, up to and including suspension or debarment from contracting with some or all Federal agencies.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALE OF SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

A discussion of working capital restrictions and limitations upon the payment of dividends is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
