NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of CBIZ, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“CBIZ” or the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the consolidated results of their operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Due to seasonality, potential changes in economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors, the results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CBIZ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of CBIZ and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. See CBIZ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect: the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Management’s estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to: estimates of collectability of accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, the realizability of goodwill and other intangible assets, the fair value of certain assets, the valuation of stock options in determining compensation expense, estimates of accrued liabilities (such as incentive compensation, self-funded health insurance accruals, legal reserves, income tax uncertainties, future contingent purchase price obligations, and consolidation and integration reserves), the provision for income taxes, the realizability of deferred tax assets, and other factors. Management’s estimates and assumptions are derived from and are continually evaluated based upon available information, judgment and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2010 consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the impact of discontinued operations.

Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues

Revenue is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

CBIZ offers a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services are delivered through four practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those groups, is included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08 (“ASU2011-08”) “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step test for goodwill impairment. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the quantitative two-step impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. The more likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. CBIZ expects to adopt the provisions of ASU 2011-08 for its annual impairment tests during the fourth quarter of 2011, and the adoption is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”) “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which states that comprehensive income should be presented in either one or two consecutive financial statements. Companies will have the option to either present other comprehensive income on the same statement as net income, or as a separate statement that immediately follows the statement of net income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for the first reporting period after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. Currenty, other comprehensive income is presented in the notes to CBIZ’s consolidated financial statements and the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will result in CBIZ presenting other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”) “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” ASU 2011-04 provides a consistent definition of fair value to ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 does not extend the use of fair value, but rather provides additional disclosure guidance about the application of fair value in those areas where fair value is already required or permitted, especially for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the first reporting period after December 15, 2011. The amendments of this ASU will be applied prospectively, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-04, but currently believes there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29 (“ASU 2010-29”) “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 by modifying the disclosure requirements of pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The required disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 also expands supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 was effective prospectively for business combinations in which the acquisition date is on or after the first day of the annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

5.	Borrowing Arrangements

CBIZ had two primary debt arrangements at September 30, 2011 that provided the Company with the capital necessary to meet its working capital needs as well as the flexibility to continue with its strategic initiatives, including business acquisitions and share repurchases: the 2010 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (“2010 Notes”) totaling $130 million and a $275 million unsecured credit facility.

2010 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On September 27, 2010, CBIZ sold and issued $130.0 million of 2010 Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2010 Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of CBIZ and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of CBIZ’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations, if any, that are designated as subordinated to the 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.875% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 beginning April 1, 2011. The 2010 Notes mature on October 1, 2015 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. CBIZ separately accounts for the debt and equity components of the 2010 Notes.

The carrying amount of the debt and equity components at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):


	September 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Principal amount of notes	$	130,000		$	130,000
Unamortized discount		(11,607	)		(13,423	)

Net carrying amount	$	118,393		$	116,577

Additional paid-in-capital, net of tax	$	8,555		$	8,555

The discount on the liability component of the 2010 Notes is being amortized using the effective interest method based upon an annual effective rate of 7.5%, which represents the market rate for similar debt without a conversion option at the issuance date. The discount is being amortized over the term of the 2010 Notes which is five years from the date of issuance. At September 30, 2011, the unamortized discount had a remaining amortization period of approximately 48 months. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information on the 2010 Notes.

2006 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 1, 2011, the note holders provided notice to the Company to redeem $39,250,000 of CBIZ’s 3.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes issued in 2006 (the “2006 Notes”). The 2006 Notes were settled in cash for the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest. The remaining $750,000 of 2006 Notes may be redeemed by CBIZ at any time until the due date of June 1, 2026. In addition, holders of the 2006 Notes will have the right to require CBIZ to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2006 Notes on June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2006 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including, the date of repurchase. At September 30, 2011, the 2006 Notes were classified as a non-current liability since the remaining note holders cannot cause the redemption of their notes until June 1, 2016.

At December 31, 2010, there was $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2006 Notes outstanding, which was the remaining balance of the $100.0 million originally issued on May 30, 2006. At December 31, 2010, the 2006 Notes were classified as a current liability based on the provision that allowed the note holders to deliver notice to the Company to redeem their notes on June 1, 2011.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

CBIZ separately accounts for the debt and equity components of the 2006 Notes. The carrying amount of the debt and equity components at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follow (in thousands):


	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Principal amount of notes	$	750	$	40,000
Unamortized discount		—		(750	)

Net carrying amount	$	750	$	39,250

Additional paid-in-capital, net of tax	$	11,425	$	11,425

The discount on the liability component of the 2006 Notes was amortized using the effective interest method based upon an annual effective rate of 7.8%, which represented the market rate for similar debt without a conversion option at the issuance date. The discount was amortized over five years from the date of issuance, which coincided with the first date that holders were able to require CBIZ to repurchase the 2006 Notes. At September 30, 2011, the discount was fully amortized. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information on the 2006 Notes.

Bank Debt

CBIZ maintains a $275 million unsecured credit facility (“credit facility”) with Bank of America as agent for a group of seven participating banks. On April 11, 2011, the credit facility was amended to extend the maturity date one year to June 2015, reduce interest on outstanding balances, reduce commitment fees on the unused amount, and adjust the leverage ratio limits to provide CBIZ with more flexibility. The balance outstanding under the credit facility was $159.6 million and $118.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:


	2011	2010
Weighted average rates	3.34%	3.49%

Range of effective rates	2.43% - 5.75%	2.71% - 6.40%

CBIZ had approximately $41.8 million of available funds under the credit facility at September 30, 2011. The credit facility provides CBIZ operating flexibility and funding to support seasonal working capital needs and other strategic initiatives such as acquisitions and share repurchases. CBIZ believes it is in compliance with its debt covenants at September 30, 2011. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information on the credit facility.

6.	Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits which totaled $2.5 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, CBIZ provides license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $1.5 million.

CBIZ acted as guarantor on various letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an affiliation, which totaled $5.2 million and $3.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. CBIZ has recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees, which is recorded as other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management does not expect any material changes to result from these instruments as performance under the guarantees is not expected to be required.

Legal Proceedings

In May, June, July, August and September of 2010, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary, CBIZ MHM, LLC (fka CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory Services, LLC) (“the CBIZ Parties”), were named as defendants in lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (Robert Facciola, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.) and in the Superior Court for Maricopa County Arizona (Victims Recovery, LLC v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.; Roger Ashkenazi, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.; Mary Marsh, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.; and ML Liquidating Trust v. Mayer Hoffman McCann PC, et al.), respectively. The Maricopa County cases were removed to the United States District Court or Bankruptcy Court but all, except ML Liquidating Trust, have since been remanded to the Superior Court for Maricopa County. These remand orders are currently being appealed. The motion to remand the ML Liquidating Trust matter was denied and the Plaintiff is seeking permission to appeal that ruling. The Facciola plaintiffs seek to proceed as a class action. Additionally, in November 2009, CBIZ MHM, LLC was named as a defendant in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (Jeffery C. Stone v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.). These matters arise out of the bankruptcy proceedings related to Mortgages Ltd., a mortgage lender to developers in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Various other professional firms not related to the Company are also defendants in these lawsuits. The motion phase of these proceedings has commenced and the discovery phase in Facciola has commenced.

The plaintiffs, except for those in the Stone and ML Liquidating Trust cases, are all alleged to have directly or indirectly invested in real estate mortgages through Mortgages Ltd. The Facciola, Victims Recovery, Ashkenazi and Marsh plaintiffs seek monetary damages equivalent to the amounts of their investments. The plaintiff in Stone sought monies it allegedly lost based on the claim that Mortgages Ltd. did not fund development projects in which it was a contractor. The Stone case has been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in that matter. The plaintiff in the ML Liquidating Trust matter asserts errors and omissions and breach of contract claims, and is seeking monetary damages. The plaintiffs in these suits also seek pre- and post-judgment interest, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.

Mortgages Ltd. had been audited by Mayer Hoffman McCann PC, a CPA firm which has an administrative services agreement with CBIZ. The claims against the CBIZ Parties seek to impose auditor-type liabilities upon the Company for audits it did not conduct. Specific claims include securities fraud, common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, Arizona Investment Management Act violations, control-person liability, aiding and abetting and conspiracy. CBIZ is not a CPA firm, does not provide audits, and did not audit any of the entities at issue in these lawsuits.

defending the matters. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes that the allegations are without merit and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.

In addition to those items disclosed above, CBIZ is, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.

7.	Financial Instruments

Corporate Bonds

In connection with CBIZ’s payroll business, the Company invests certain client funds in investment grade corporate bonds. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CBIZ held corporate bonds with par values totaling $30.9 million and $14.6 million, respectively. These corporate bonds have maturity dates ranging from October 2011 through June 2016, and are included in “Funds held for clients – current” on the consolidated balance sheets as these investments are highly liquid and are classified as available-for-sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ purchased bonds with a par value totaling $18.9 million, sold bonds with a par value totaling $1.5 million, and had an additional $1.1 million par value of bonds that matured.

Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ sold its three investments in ARS and recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million in “Other income (loss), net” on the consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2011, CBIZ had no remaining investments in ARS. See Note 8 for further discussion of ARS.

Interest Rate Swaps

CBIZ uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. CBIZ’s interest rate swaps effectively mitigate the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of floating rate debt under the credit facility, to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. CBIZ does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

CBIZ’s interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are recorded as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss, net of tax, to the extent the swaps are effective. Amounts recorded to other comprehensive loss are reclassified to interest expense as interest on the underlying debt is recognized. Net amounts due related to the swaps are recorded as adjustments to interest expense when incurred or payable.

At inception, the critical terms of the interest rate swaps matched the underlying risks being hedged, and as such the interest rate swaps are expected to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. The interest rate swaps are assessed for effectiveness and continued qualification for hedge accounting on a quarterly basis. If an interest rate swap were to be de-designated as a hedge it would be accounted for as a financial instrument used for trading and any changes in fair value would be recorded in the

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

consolidated statements of operations. All swaps were deemed to be effective for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

As a result of the use of derivative instruments, CBIZ is exposed to risk that the counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, CBIZ only enters into contracts with financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assesses the creditworthiness of counterparties. At September, 2011, all of the counterparties to CBIZ’s interest rate swaps had investment grade ratings. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations. There are no credit risk-related contingent features in CBIZ’s interest rate swaps nor do the swaps contain provisions under which the Company has, or would be required, to post collateral.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate swaps were classified as liability derivatives. The following table summarizes CBIZ’s outstanding interest rate swaps and their effects on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands).


	September 30, 2011
	Notional Amount		Fair Value (c)			Balance Sheet Location
Interest rate swap (a)	$	40,000	$	(773	)		Other non-current liabilities

	December 31, 2010
	Notional Amount		Fair Value (c)			Balance Sheet Location
Interest rate swaps (b)	$	20,000	$	(16	)		Other current liabilities

(a)

Represents interest rate swap with a notional value of $40.0 million, of which $25.0 million will expire in June 2014 and the remaining $15.0 million will expire in June 2015. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, CBIZ pays interest at a fixed rate of 1.41% plus applicable margin as stated in the agreement, and receives interest that varies with the three-month LIBOR.

(b)

Represents two interest rate swaps, each with a notional value of $10.0 million and terms of two years that expired in January, 2011. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, CBIZ paid interest at a fixed rate of 1.55% and 1.59%, respectively, plus applicable margin under the credit facility, and received or paid interest that varied with the three-month LIBOR.

(c)

See additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements in Note 8.

8.	Fair Value Measurements

Valuation hierarchy under GAAP categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

•

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and are significant to the fair value measurement.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes CBIZ’s assets and liabilities at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value (in thousands):


	Level	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Deferred compensation plan assets	1	$	31,274		$	33,361
Corporate bonds	1	$	32,559		$	15,255
Interest rate swaps	2	$	(773	)	$	(16	)
Auction rate securities	3	$	—		$	10,216
Contingent purchase price liabilities	3	$	(27,662	)	$	(17,265	)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3. The following table summarizes the change in fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities identified as Level 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (pre-tax basis) (in thousands):


	Auction Rate Securities			Contingent Purchase Price Liabilities

Increase in cash flows		100			—

Ending balance – September 30, 2011	$	—		$	(27,662	)

Auction Rate Securities – CBIZ’s investments in ARS were classified as Level 3 as a result of liquidity issues in the ARS market, an inactive trading market of the securities, and the lack of quoted prices from broker-dealers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ sold all of its investments in ARS and as a result, realized a loss of approximately $0.1 million in “Other income (expense), net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and reversed prior period unrealized losses of $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, changes in the fair value of ARS resulted in an unrealized loss of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The difference in par value and fair value was determined to be temporary due to dislocation in the credit markets, the quality of the investments and their underlying collateral, and the probability of a passed auction or redemption in the future, considering the issuer’s ability to refinance if necessary. At December 31, 2010, CBIZ held three investments in ARS with par values totaling $13.4 million and included these ARS in “Funds held for clients – non-current”, as CBIZ intentions were to hold the ARS investments until the time par value was recovered, a time which could not be estimated.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

Contingent Purchase Price Liabilities – Contingent purchase price liabilities resulted from business acquisitions made after January 1, 2009, and are classified as Level 3 due to the utilization of a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of the contingency. The contingent purchase price liabilities are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Accrued expenses – non-current”, depending on the expected settlement date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the contingent liability increased $11.7 million as a result of two business acquisitions that closed in the third quarter of 2011 and net present value adjustments of $0.1 million, offset partially due to payments totaling $0.3 million and a $1.2 million adjustment to the estimate of future contingent liabilities. See Note 12 for further discussion of contingent purchase price liabilities.

The following table provides additional information with regards to the ARS with temporary impairments, aggregated by the length of time that the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands):


	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010

The following table presents financial instruments that are not carried at fair value but which require fair value disclosure as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):


	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
2006 Convertible Notes	$	750	$	750	$	39,250	$	40,050
2010 Convertible Notes	$	118,393	$	149,135	$	116,577	$	141,670

Although the trading of CBIZ’s 2006 Convertible Notes and 2010 Convertible Notes is limited, the fair value was determined based upon their most recent quoted trading activity. The 2006 Convertible Notes and 2010 Convertible Notes are carried at face value less any unamortized debt discount.

The carrying value of CBIZ’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value, as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market rates.

Acquisitions

On August 1, 2011, CBIZ acquired two companies: Thompson Dunavant PLC and Multiple Benefit Services, Inc. (“MBS”). Thompson Dunavant, a full-service accounting and financial services company located in Memphis, Tennessee, provides tax and financial consulting services to clients of various sizes and in a variety of industries. The operating results of Thompson Dunavant are reported in the Financial Services practice group. MBS, an employee benefits company located in Atlanta, Georgia, provides employee benefit consulting and support services to clients in a wide variety of industries. The operating results of MBS are reported in the Employee Services practice group.

Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions is expected to be approximately $27.2 million, which consists of $11.1 million in cash and $3.3 million in CBIZ common stock that was paid at closing, $1.1 million in guaranteed future consideration, and $11.7 million in contingent consideration to be settled primarily in cash and a portion in common stock, subject to the acquired operations achieving certain performance targets.

The preliminary aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated as follows (in thousands):


Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash	$	273
Accounts receivable		1,761
Unbilled revenue		1,771
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		212
Fixed assets		225
Identifiable intangible assets		9,781
Deferred income taxes – non-current		(1,775	)
Accrued liabilities		(923	)

Total identifiable net assets	$	11,325
Goodwill		15,879

Aggregate purchase price	$	27,204

Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, a portion of the purchase price is contingent on future performance of the businesses acquired. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that CBIZ could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is between $0 and $13.4 million. CBIZ is required to record the fair value of these obligations at the acquisition date. CBIZ determined, utilizing a probability weighted income approach, that the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements was $11.7 million, of which $3.6 million was recorded in “Other current liabilities” and $8.1 million was recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2011.

The goodwill of $15.9 million arising from the acquisitions in the current year consists largely of expected future earnings and cash flow from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new businesses within the CBIZ organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with the Company’s Financial Services group and the Employee Services group, to help strengthen the Company’s existing service offerings and expand the Company’s market position. Goodwill recognized in the amount of $10.8 million is deductible for income tax purposes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ paid $15.4 million in cash and issued approximately 265,000 shares of common stock as contingent earnouts for previous acquisitions. In addition, CBIZ reduced the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability related to CBZ’s prior acquisitions by $1.2 million due to lower than originally projected future results of the acquired businesses. This reduction of $1.2 million is included in “Other (expense) income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 for further discussion of contingent purchase price liabilities.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, CBIZ acquired substantially all of the assets of three companies: Goldstein Lewin & Company, National Benefit Alliance and South Winds, Inc. (dba Benexx). Goldstein Lewin & Company, an accounting and financial services company located in Boca Raton, Florida, was acquired on January 1, 2010 and is included in the operating results of the Financial Services practice group. National Benefit Alliance, an employee benefits company located in Midvale, Utah, was also acquired on January 1, 2010 and Benexx, a retirement plan consulting firm located in Baltimore, Maryland, was acquired on August 1, 2010. National Benefit Alliance and Benexx are included in the operating results of the Employee Services practice group. Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $15.3 million in cash, $2.0 million in CBIZ common stock, $0.4 million in guaranteed future consideration, and $11.5 million in contingent consideration, subject to the acquired operations achieving certain performance targets. During 2010, CBIZ adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements related to CBIZ’s prior acquisitions from $5.6 million to $4.2 million due to lower than originally projected future results of the acquired businesses.

The operating results of these businesses are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition. Client lists and non-compete agreements are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, (including client lists and non-compete agreements) is allocated to goodwill.

Additions to goodwill, client lists and other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and contingent consideration earned on prior period acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in thousands):


	2011		2010

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

CBIZ will divest (through sale or closure) business operations that do not contribute to the Company’s long-term objectives for growth, or that are not complementary to its target service offerings and markets. Divestitures are classified as discontinued operations provided they meet the criteria as provided in FASB ASC 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations – Other Presentation Matters”.

Gains or losses from the sale of discontinued operations are recorded as “(Loss) Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax”, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, proceeds that are contingent upon a divested operation’s actual future performance are recorded as gain on sale of discontinued operations in the period they are earned. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ sold a business from the Financial Services practice group and will receive contingent proceeds from this sale transaction based on revenue over the next three-year period. As part of the sale of this business, CBIZ reduced its goodwill balance by approximately $0.3 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, CBIZ sold two businesses and closed one business from the National Practices group. Proceeds from the sales consisted of $0.2 million in cash and resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.7 million, and the office closure resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.1 million.

Segment Disclosures

CBIZ’s business units have been aggregated into four practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services, Medical Management Professionals (“MMP”), and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by practice group, is provided in the following table.

Corporate and Other. Included in Corporate and Other are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of gains or losses attributable to assets held in the Company’s deferred compensation plan, stock-based compensation, certain health care costs, consolidation and integration charges, certain advertising costs and other various expenses.

Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Upon consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated; thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income excluding the costs of certain infrastructure functions (such as information systems, finance and accounting, human resources, legal and marketing), which are reported in the “Corporate and Other” segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “CBIZ” or the “Company” shall mean CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its operating subsidiaries. The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of CBIZ’s financial position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained in “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in “Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview

CBIZ provides professional business services that help clients manage their finances and employees. These services are provided to businesses of various sizes, as well as individuals, governmental entities and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ delivers its integrated services through four practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services, Medical Management Professionals (“MMP”), and National Practices. See Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a general description of services provided by each practice group.

See the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion of external relationships and regulatory factors that currently impact CBIZ’s operations.

Executive Summary

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 0.7% to $177.1 million from the $175.9 million reported for the comparable period in 2010. Same-unit revenue decreased $3.6 million, or 2.1%, and revenue from newly acquired operations, net of divestitures, contributed $4.8 million, or 2.7% to the growth in revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 0.8% to $570.1 million from the $565.3 million reported for the comparable period in 2010. Revenue from newly acquired operations, net of divestitures, contributed $10.1 million, or 1.8% to the growth in revenue, which was partially offset by same-unit revenue declines of $5.3 million, or 1.0%.

Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.10 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $0.09 for the comparable period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, earnings per diluted share were $0.60 compared to $0.48 for the same period last year. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a gain of approximately $0.02 per diluted share related to the divestiture of the wealth management business, and earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a charge of $0.02 per diluted share for lease restructuring activities in connection with the acquisition of Goldstein Lewin & Company in Boca Raton, Florida. Also, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, earnings per share included a charge of $0.02 per diluted share related to the $2.0 million loss recorded in connection with the early redemption of the Company’s 2006 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (“2006 Notes”).

Cash earnings per diluted share were $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $1.02 and $0.87 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. CBIZ believes cash earnings per diluted share more clearly illustrates the impact of certain non-cash charges to income from continuing operations and is a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Cash earnings per diluted share is a measurement prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), otherwise known as a non-GAAP measure. As such, the Company has included this data and has provided a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measurement, “income per diluted share from continuing operations”. Reconciliations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are provided in the “Results of Operations – Continuing Operations” section that follows.

On August 1, 2011, CBIZ acquired two businesses: Thompson Dunavant (“TD”) and Multiple Benefit Services, Inc. (“MBS”). TD is an accounting and financial services firm located in Memphis, Tennessee and provides tax and financial consulting services to a number of clients ranging from small closely-held companies to large multi-national businesses. MBS is an employee benefits consulting firm located in Atlanta, Georgia and provides employee benefit consulting and support services to both small and large companies. TD’s operations are included in the Financial Services practice group and MBS’s operations are included in the Employee Services practice group. Annual revenues for TD and MBS have historically approximated $15.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

CBIZ believes that repurchasing shares of its common stock under the Company’s stock purchase plan is a use of cash that provides value to its stockholders and accordingly, purchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $7.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Results of Operations – Continuing Operations

Same-unit revenue represents total revenue adjusted to reflect comparable periods of activity for acquisitions and divestitures. For example, for a business acquired on September 1, 2010, revenue for the month of September would be included in same-unit revenue for both years; revenue for the period January 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011 would be reported as revenue from acquired businesses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under “Operating Practice Groups”.

Gross margin and operating expenses – Operating expenses decreased by $3.2 million to $154.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $157.2 million for the comparable period of 2010, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 87.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 89.4% for the comparable period of 2010.

The primary components of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are included in the following table:


	2011						2010
	% of Operating Expense			% of Revenue			% of Operating Expense			% of Revenue			Change in % of Revenue

Total operating expenses		100.0	%		87.0	%		100.0	%		89.4	%		(2.4	)%

Gross margin					13.0	%					10.6	%		2.4	%

(1)	Other operating expenses include office expenses, equipment costs, professional fees, restructuring charges, bad debt and other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total operating expenses.

The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue that was attributable to personnel costs was a result of a reduction in staffing at certain locations. The decrease in deferred compensation costs as a percentage of revenue is due to losses in the value of the assets held in relation to CBIZ’s deferred compensation plan, or a favorable impact to gross margin, of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a gain, or an unfavorable impact to gross margin, of $2.1 million for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue was due to efforts to consolidate certain locations related to the Company’s MMP business. The increase in travel and related costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to increased client development and retention efforts and professional staff training. Personnel and other operating expenses are discussed in further detail under “Operating Practice Groups”.

Corporate general and administrative expenses – Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $1.3 million to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $6.9 million for the comparable period of 2010, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 3.9% for the comparable period of 2010. The primary components of G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are included in the following table:


	2011						2010
	% of G&A Expense			% of Revenue			% of G&A Expense			% of Revenue			Change in % of Revenue
Personnel costs		51.8	%		2.4	%		54.6	%		2.1	%		0.3	%
Professional services		19.7	%		0.9	%		5.8	%		0.2	%		0.7	%
Computer costs		5.5	%		0.3	%		6.0	%		0.2	%		0.1	%
Travel and related costs		4.3	%		0.2	%		3.6	%		0.1	%		0.1	%
Depreciation and amortization		1.1	%		0.1	%		1.4	%		0.1	%		—
Other (1)		23.2	%		1.0	%		23.8	%		1.0	%		—

Subtotal		105.6	%		4.9	%		95.2	%		3.7	%		1.2	%
Deferred compensation costs		(5.6	)%		(0.3	)%		4.8	%		0.2	%		(0.5	)%

Total G&A expenses		100.0	%		4.6	%		100.0	%		3.9	%		0.7	%

(1)	Other G&A expenses include office expenses, equipment costs, occupancy costs, insurance expense and other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total G&A expenses.

The increase in G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue attributable to professional services was primarily due to legal expenses as CBIZ recorded a favorable recovery of $1.1 million in the third quarter of

2010. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in deferred compensation costs due to losses in the value of the assets held in relation to CBIZ’s deferred compensation plan of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a gain of $0.3 million for the comparable period in 2010.

Interest expense – Interest expense increased by $0.3 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.7 million for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in interest expense was due to a net increase of $20.3 million in the average carrying amount of the senior subordinated convertible notes to $117.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $97.6 million for the comparable period in 2010. This increase was due to the issuance of $130 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes on September 27, 2010 (“2010 Notes”), offset partially by the redemption of the 2006 Notes in the amount of $60 million on September 27, 2010 and $39.3 million on June 1, 2011. Interest expense related to the credit facility was relatively unchanged for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as the increase in the average debt outstanding under the credit facility was offset by the decrease in the average interest rates. The average debt outstanding under the credit facility was $152.0 million and 121.8 million and the average interest rates were 3.0% and 4.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of CBIZ’s debt arrangements.

Other (expense) income, net – Other (expense) income, net is primarily comprised of gains and losses in the fair value of investments held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred compensation plan, adjustments to contingent liabilities related to prior acquisitions, and other miscellaneous items such as losses on the retirement of convertible notes and asset impairment charges. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, other (expense) income, net was ($4.5) million and $1.0, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ recorded a loss in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan of $4.4 million compared to a gain of $2.4 million for the same period in 2010. These adjustments do not impact CBIZ’s net income as they are offset by the corresponding increases or decreases to compensation expense which is recorded as operating and G&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, CBIZ recorded an adjustment to its contingent liability related to prior acquisitions which resulted in other income of $0.7 million, recorded a loss of $2.0 million on the repurchase of $60 million of its 2006 Notes and recorded a $0.3 million impairment charge related to an investment in auction rate securities.

Income tax expense – CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $1.6 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 25.0%, compared to an effective tax rate of 39.3% for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily relates to the reversal of estimated tax reserves due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation and the release of valuation allowances related to certain state net operating loss carryforwards.

Earnings per share and cash earnings per share – Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $0.10 and $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and cash earnings per diluted share were $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company believes cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP measures) more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges and credits to income from continuing operations and are a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate CBIZ’s business, including ongoing performance and the allocation of resources. Cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share are provided in addition to the presentation of GAAP measures and should not be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to cash earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to cash earnings per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Operating Practice Groups

CBIZ delivers its integrated services through four practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services, MMP and National Practices. A brief description of these groups’ operating results and factors affecting their businesses is provided below.

Financial Services


	THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
					(In thousands, except percentages)
Revenue
Same-unit	$	87,027		$	89,010		$	(1,983	)		(2.2	)%

Total revenue	$	92,535		$	89,010		$	3,525			4.0	%

Gross margin	$	9,801		$	10,942		$	(1,141	)		(10.4	)%

Gross margin percent		10.6	%		12.3	%

The decrease in same-unit revenue was primarily the result of a decrease in aggregate hours charged to clients and lower performance in several of the local business units. With respect to the local business units, same-unit aggregate hours charged to clients declined approximately 5% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, which was partially offset by a 1% increase in effective yield realized for services provided for the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus the comparable period in the prior year. The decline in hours was primarily due to decreased client demand. Revenue from acquired businesses was a result of the acquisitions of Kirkland, Russ, Murphy, & Tapp (“KRMT”), which occurred on November 1, 2010 and Thompson Dunavant (“TD”), which occurred on August 1, 2011.

CBIZ provides a range of services to affiliated CPA firms under joint referral and administrative service agreements (“ASAs”). Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and were approximately $23.7 million and $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a majority of which is related to services rendered to privately-held clients. The decrease in ASA fees is primarily the result of lower performance in several of the local business units, offset partially by the acquisitions of the attestation business of KRMT and TD by affiliated CPA firms.

The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services group are personnel costs, occupancy costs, and travel and related costs which represented 86.8% and 88.8% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Personnel costs increased $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, and represented 76.2% and 78.5% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was attributable to $3.8 million associated with the acquisitions of KRMT and TD, offset by a reduction in same-unit personnel costs of $2.0 million. The $2.0 million reduction in same-unit personnel costs was associated mainly with staff reductions at those units that experienced reduced client demand and, to a lesser extent, attrition. Personnel costs represented 76.2% and 78.5% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $6.0 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Travel and related costs were $2.8 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were 3.1% and 2.3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in travel and related costs was due to increased client development costs and professional staff training efforts.

Gross margin percentage decreased to 10.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 12.3% for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to operating expenses not decreasing at the same rate as the decrease in same-unit revenue, as discussed above.

Employee Services

Gross margin	$	6,304		$	6,512		$	(208	)		(3.2	)%

Gross margin percent		15.1	%		15.4	%

The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to increases in the Company’s specialty life insurance and human capital advisory businesses, including payroll, offset in part by decreases in the employee benefits and property and casualty businesses. Specialty life insurance revenues increased $1.0 million due to an increase in the number of policy placements. Human capital advisory and payroll revenues increased approximately $0.6 million due to an increase in demand for recruiting and pricing for payroll-related services. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in the Company’s employee benefits revenues of approximately $1.0 million due to client attrition and lower volume-based carrier bonus payments, and a decrease in property and casualty revenues of $0.4 million due to soft market conditions in pricing. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by South Winds, Inc. (dba “Benexx”), a retirement plan business in Maryland that was acquired in the third quarter of 2010, and MBS, an employee benefits consulting business in Georgia that was acquired in the third quarter of 2011. The decline in revenue from divestitures was due to the sale of the wealth management advisory business in the first quarter of 2011.

insurance sales. Personnel costs represented 64.3% and 64.5% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Gross margin percent was impacted by three factors. The decline in volume-based carrier bonus payments has a direct negative impact on gross margin, since there are no corresponding expenses associated with these revenues. In addition, the decrease in operating revenues in both the employee benefits and property casualty businesses played a role in the margin decline, despite a corresponding savings in variable sales commissions. These were offset, in part, by an increase from retirement advisory and human capital advisory revenues. Asset-based revenues do not have related direct costs, and human capital advisory revenues have a more fixed cost structure; therefore, growth in those revenues has a favorable impact on gross margin.

MMP


	THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Same-unit revenue	$	35,352		$	37,423		$	(2,071	)		(5.5	)%
Operating expenses		30,370			32,148			(1,778	)		(5.5	)%

Gross margin	$	4,982		$	5,275		$	(293	)		(5.6	)%

Gross margin percent		14.1	%		14.1	%

The decrease in same-unit revenue was approximately 71% attributable to decreased revenues from existing clients, with the remaining 29% attributable to client terminations, net of new business. The decline in revenue from existing clients can be attributed to several factors including: decreases in the number of procedures processed, decreases in pricing and reimbursement rates and a change in the mix of procedures resulting in a decrease in the average revenue per procedure. The decline in revenue from client terminations is attributable to many factors including: physician groups losing their hospital contracts, clients moving their billing function in-house, changes in group ownership, hospital consolidations and increased competitive pressures. The Company does not believe that this loss of clients represents a trend that will continue through the remainder of 2011, however, same store revenues are expected to continue to be less than 2010 reported revenues due to continued pressure on pricing and reimbursement rates.

The largest components of operating expenses for MMP are personnel costs, professional service fees for off-shore and electronic claims processing, occupancy costs and office expenses (primarily postage related to the Company’s statement mailing services). These expenses represented 85.5% and 86.4% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Due to a reduction in headcount, personnel costs decreased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 53.0% compared to 53.9% for the comparable period in 2010. The reduction in headcount and related personnel costs in billing operations is due to the expanded utilization of off-shore processing, utilization of new technologies, as well as a response to the decline in revenue. Office expenses decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 7.5% compared to 7.9% for the same period in 2010 due to a decrease in statement mailing expenses. Facilities costs decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year, and decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 6.6% compared to 6.8% for the same period in 2010. This decrease was due to the consolidation of certain offices.

Gross margin percentage was flat at 14.1% in both periods. The decrease in gross margin dollars is the result of continued pricing and reimbursement pressure as described above.

National Practices


	THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
	2011			2010			$ Change			% Change
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Same-unit revenue	$	7,315		$	7,034		$	281			4.0	%
Operating expenses		6,317			6,343			(26	)		(0.4	)%

Gross margin	$	998		$	691		$	307			44.4	%

Gross margin percent		13.6	%		9.8	%

The increase in revenue was attributable to CBIZ’s healthcare consulting business due to an increase in demand of coding and auditing services performed in the clinical business and an increase in Medicaid eligibility services provided to clients. Revenue in the other National Practices businesses remained unchanged in comparing the three months ended September 30, 2011 to the same period last year.

The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs, occupancy costs, and travel and related costs representing 94.7% and 96.0% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Personnel costs decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 78.8% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 83.5% of revenue for the same period last year. The decrease in personnel costs is due to an adjustment to incentive compensation related to certain individuals in the mergers and acquisitions business resulting from completing a transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Occupancy costs and travel and related costs were relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

As a result of an increase in revenue and relatively flat operating expenses, both the gross margin and gross margin percentage reflect an increase for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year.

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under “Operating Practice Groups”.

Gross margin and operating expenses – Operating expenses decreased to $483.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $487.0 million for the comparable period of 2010, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 84.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 86.1% for the comparable period of 2010. The primary components of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are included in the following table:


	2011						2010
	% of Operating Expense			% of Revenue			% of Operating Expense			% of Revenue			Change in % of Revenue
Personnel costs		74.3	%		63.0	%		74.4	%		64.1	%		(1.1	)%

Gross margin					15.2	%					13.9	%		1.3	%

(1)	Other operating expenses include office expenses, equipment costs, professional fees, restructuring charges, bad debt and other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total operating expenses.

The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue that was attributable to personnel costs was a result of a reduction in staffing at certain locations. The decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue was due to efforts to consolidate certain locations related to the Company’s MMP business. The decrease in deferred compensation costs as a percentage of revenue is due to a loss, or a favorable impact to gross margin, of $2.4 million in the value of the assets held in relation to CBIZ’s deferred compensation plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a gain, or an unfavorable impact to gross margin, of $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in travel and related costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to increased client development and retention efforts and an increase in professional staff training. Personnel and other operating expenses are discussed in further detail under “Operating Practice Groups”.

Corporate general and administrative expenses – Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $2.2 million to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $22.5 million for the comparable period of 2010, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 4.0% for the comparable period of 2010. The primary components of G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are included in the following table:


	2011						2010
	% of G&A Expense			% of Revenue			% of G&A Expense			% of Revenue			Change in % of Revenue
Personnel costs		58.0	%		2.5	%		53.9	%		2.1	%		0.4	%
Professional services		13.5	%		0.6	%		14.9	%		0.6	%		—

Other (1)		19.2	%		0.8	%		20.1	%		0.8	%		—

Subtotal		101.1	%		4.3	%		98.7	%		3.9	%		0.4	%
Deferred compensation costs		(1.1	)%		—			1.3	%		0.1	%		(0.1	)%

Total G&A expenses		100.0	%		4.3	%		100.0	%		4.0	%		0.3	%

(1)	Other G&A expenses include office expenses, equipment costs, occupancy costs, insurance expense and other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total G&A expenses.

The increase in G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue attributable to personnel costs is primarily due to an increase in incentive based compensation accruals and stock-based compensation. Commensurate with the increase in earnings per share, a greater percentage of the estimated annual incentive payout was accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in deferred compensation costs due to losses in the value of the assets held in relation to CBIZ’s deferred compensation plan of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a gain of $0.3 million for the comparable period in 2010.

Interest expense – Interest expense increased by $3.1 million to $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $10.3 million for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in interest expense relates to a net increase of $2.5 million related to the senior subordinated convertible notes and an increase of $0.6 million related to the credit facility. The increase related to the senior subordinated convertible notes is primarily due to a $43.8 million increase in average carrying amount of the senior subordinated convertible notes to $138.9 million for the first nine months of 2011 from $95.1 million for the comparable period in 2010. This increase was due to the issuance of $130 million of the 2010 Notes on September 27, 2010, offset partially by the redemption of the 2006 Notes in the amount of $60 million on September 27, 2010 and $39.3 million on June 1, 2011. The increase in interest expense related to the credit facility is due to an increase in the average outstanding balance and an increase in amortization of deferred debt costs. Average debt outstanding under the credit facility was $139.2 million and $126.2 million and weighted average interest rates were 3.3% and 3.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in deferred debt costs is due to additional costs incurred related to the new credit facility that was put into effect in June 2010, as well as the additional costs incurred from the April 2011 amendment to the credit facility. See Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of CBIZ’s debt arrangements.

Gain on sale of operations, net – The gain on sale of operations, net was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and is primarily due to the sale of the Company’s individual wealth management business during the first quarter of 2011. The operating results of the wealth management business were included in the Employee Services practice group.

Other (expense) income, net – Other (expense) income, net is primarily comprised of gains and losses in the fair value of investments held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred compensation plan, adjustments to contingent liabilities related to previous acquisitions, and other miscellaneous items such as losses on the retirement of convertible notes and asset impairment charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, other (expense) income, net was ($1.4) million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CBIZ recorded a loss in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan of $2.7 million compared to a gain of $1.5 million for the same period in 2010. These adjustments do not impact CBIZ’s net income as they are offset by the corresponding increase to compensation expense which is recorded as operating and G&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, CBIZ recorded adjustments to its contingent liability related to prior acquisitions which resulted in other income of $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, CBIZ recorded a loss of $2.0 million on the repurchase of $60 million of its 2006 Notes and recorded a $0.3 million impairment charge related to an investment in auction rate securities.

Income tax expense – CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $20.3 million and $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 40.5%, compared to an effective tax rate of 37.7% for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate primarily relates to a larger reversal of estimated tax reserves in 2010 due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation compared to the same period in 2011.

Earnings per share and cash earnings per share – Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $0.60 and $0.48 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and cash earnings per diluted share were $1.02 and $0.87 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company believes cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP measures) more clearly illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges and credits to income from continuing operations and are a useful measure for the Company and its analysts. Management uses these

performance measures to evaluate CBIZ’s business, including ongoing performance and the allocation of resources. Cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share are provided in addition to the presentation of GAAP measures and should not be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to cash earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to cash earnings per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The decrease in same-unit revenue was primarily the result of a decrease in aggregate hours charged to clients and lower performance in several of the local business units. Same-unit aggregate hours charged to clients declined approximately 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was partially offset by a 2% increase in effective rates realized for services provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus the comparable period in 2010. The decline in hours was due to decreased client demand and improved engagement efficiencies. The improvement in rates realized for services provided was due to a modest increase in rates as well as

improved engagement efficiencies. Revenue from acquired businesses was a result of the acquisitions of KRMT and TD.

CBIZ provides a range of services to affiliated CPA firms under joint referral and ASAs. Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and were approximately $88.8 million and $88.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a majority of which is related to services rendered to privately-held clients. The increase in ASA fees is primarily the result of the acquisitions of the attestation business of KRMT and TD by affiliated CPA firms, which offset declines at several units.

The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services group are personnel costs, occupancy costs, and travel and related costs which represented 88.1% and 89.1% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Personnel costs increased $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, and represented 78.1% and 79.3% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was attributable to $8.3 million associated with the acquisitions of KRMT and TD, partially offset by a reduction in same-unit personnel costs of $5.5 million. The $5.5 million reduction in same-unit personnel costs was associated mainly with staff reductions at those units that experienced reduced client demand and, to a lesser extent, attrition. Personnel costs represented 64.1% and 65.3% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $17.6 million and $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were 6.9% and 7.2% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Travel and related costs were $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $6.5 million in the same period in 2010, and were 2.5% and 2.2% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in travel and related costs was due to increased client development and professional staff training efforts.

Gross margin percentage improved to 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 17.6% for the same period in 2010 and was due largely to lower same-unit personnel costs as a percentage of revenue as described above.

The decrease in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to declines in the Company’s employee benefits and property and casualty businesses, offset in part by increases in the retirement plan advisory, specialty life insurance and human capital advisory businesses. The Company’s employee benefits business decreased approximately $3.7 million due to high levels of client workforce downsizing as well as client attrition, and the property and casualty revenues declined $2.0 million due to soft market conditions in pricing and lower volume-based carrier bonus payments. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of approximately $1.3 million in the retirement advisory business due to higher asset values

resulting largely from favorable market performance, an increase in the specialty life insurance business of $2.2 million due to an increase in the number of policy placements, and an increase in human capital advisory and payroll revenues of approximately $1.8 million due to an increase in demand for recruiting and pricing for payroll-related services. The growth in revenue from acquired businesses was provided by Benexx, and MBS. The decline in revenue from divestitures was due to the sale of the Wealth Management Advisory Business in the first quarter of 2011.

The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services group are personnel costs, including commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing 83.1% and 83.3% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Excluding personnel costs during the first nine months of 2010 related to the divested wealth management businesses of $3.9 million, personnel costs increased approximately $2.6 million, primarily as a result of additional commissions paid to third party brokers related to the increase in specialty life insurance sales. Personnel costs represented 63.8% and 63.1% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature, and excluding the 2010 costs associated with the divested wealth management businesses of $0.3 million, were $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The decrease in same-unit revenue was approximately 52% attributable to decreased revenues from existing clients, with the remaining 48% attributable to client terminations, net of new business. The decline in revenue from existing clients can be attributed to several factors including: decreases in number of procedures processed, decreases in pricing and reimbursement rates and a change in the mix of procedures resulting in a decrease in the average revenue per procedure. The decline in revenue from client terminations was attributable to many reasons including: physician groups losing their hospital contracts, clients moving their billing function in-house, changes in group ownership, hospital consolidations and increased competitive pressures. The Company does not believe that this loss of clients represents a trend that will continue through the remainder of 2011, however, same store revenues are expected to continue to be less than 2010 reported revenues due to continued pressure on pricing and reimbursement rates.

headcount, personnel costs decreased $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 55.5% versus 57.2% for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in personnel costs was partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in professional services for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The reduction in headcount and related personnel costs in billing operations is due to the expanded utilization of off-shore processing, utilization of new technologies, as well as a response to the decline in revenue. Office expenses decreased $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 7.6% compared to 8.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of a decrease in statement mailings. Facilities costs decreased $0.5 million for the first nine months of 2011, and decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 6.7% versus 6.9% in the comparable period in 2010 due to the consolidation of certain offices.

The increase in gross margin is the result of the reduction in headcount and related decrease in personnel costs as described above.

The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase of $1.7 million in CBIZ’s mergers and acquisitions business, $0.8 million from the healthcare consulting business and $0.2 million in services provided under a contractual relationship with Edward Jones, CBIZ’s largest client. The increase in the mergers and acquisitions business was a result of earning success fees for completing two transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, whereas no transactions were completed during the same period in 2010. The increase in the healthcare consulting business was primarily due to an increase in coding and auditing services performed in the clinical business, an increase in Medicaid eligibility services provided to clients, and an increase in consulting fees resulting from a newly released product that enables clients to quantify the impact of pending health care reform legislation. The increase in the Edward Jones revenue was primarily the result of an increase in required technology support.

The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs, occupancy costs, and travel and related costs representing 95.2% and 95.0% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Personnel costs increased $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 78.2% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 86.6% of revenue for the same period last year. The increase in personnel costs is due primarily to additional incentive compensation to certain individuals in the mergers and acquisitions business resulting from completing two transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as well as increases in wages for annual raises. Occupancy costs and travel and related costs were relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The increase in gross margin and gross margin percentage is due to the increase in revenue offset by a modest increase in operating expenses, as described above, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $780.1 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $23.8 million versus December 31, 2010. Current assets of $275.7 million exceeded current liabilities of $177.6 million by $98.1 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.2 million to $0.5 million at September 30, 2011 from $0.7 million at December 31, 2010. Restricted cash was $20.5 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million from $20.2 million at December 31, 2010. Restricted cash represents those funds held in connection with CBIZ’s Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) regulated businesses and funds held in connection with the pass through of insurance premiums to various carriers. Cash and restricted cash fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash receipts and related payments.

Accounts receivable, net, were $158.3 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $20.2 million from $138.1 at December 31, 2010, and days sales outstanding (“DSO”) from continuing operations was 80 days, 72 days and 81 days at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable, net is primarily due to the seasonality of the Financial Services practice group. DSO represents accounts receivable (before the allowance for doubtful accounts) and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by trailing twelve month daily revenue. CBIZ provides DSO data because such data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of the Company’s ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner.

Deferred income taxes – current increased by $5.6 million to $9.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in the net deferred current asset was primarily due to the transfer of certain deferred tax liabilities from deferred income taxes – current to income taxes payable – current as a result of the redemption of the Company’s 2006 Notes during the second quarter of 2011.

Other current assets were $8.4 million and $12.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Other current assets are primarily comprised of prepaid assets. Balances may fluctuate during the year based upon the timing of cash payments and amortization of prepaid expenses.

Funds held for clients (current and non-current) and the corresponding client fund obligations relate to CBIZ’s payroll services business. The balances in these accounts fluctuate with the timing of cash receipts and the related cash payments. Client fund obligations can differ from funds held for clients due to changes in the market values of the underlying investments. The nature of these accounts is further described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in CBIZ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Property and equipment, net, decreased by $1.0 million to $22.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $23.9 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease is primarily the result of depreciation and amortization expense of $4.9 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $3.9 million. CBIZ’s property and equipment is primarily comprised of software, hardware, furniture and leasehold improvements.

Goodwill and other intangible assets, net, increased by $17.1 million to $443.5 at September 30, 2011 from $426.4 at December 31, 2010. This increase is comprised of $19.9 million and $9.9 million of net additions to goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, offset by $10.2 million of amortization expense and $2.5 million of divested goodwill and intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $29.8 million consisted of $25.7 million due to 2011 acquisitions and $4.1 million of additional purchase price earned by previous acquisitions.

Assets of the deferred compensation plan represent participant deferral accounts and are directly offset by deferred compensation plan obligations. Assets of the deferred compensation plan were $31.3 million and $33.4 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in assets of the deferred compensation plan of $2.1 million consisted of a decrease in the fair value of the investments of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by net participant contributions of $0.6 million. The plan is described in further detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The accounts payable balances of $29.9 million and $30.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, reflect amounts due to suppliers and vendors. Balances fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash payments. Accrued personnel costs were $36.1 million and $33.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and represent amounts due for payroll, payroll taxes, employee benefits and incentive compensation. Balances fluctuate during the year based on the timing of payments and adjustments to the estimate of incentive compensation costs.

Notes payable – current decreased by $10.4 million to $0.6 million at September 30, 2011 from $11.0 million at December 31, 2010. Notes payable balances and activity are primarily attributable to contingent proceeds earned by previously acquired businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, payments on notes attributable to contingent proceeds relating to previously acquired businesses were approximately $11.0 million. These payments were partially offset by additions to notes payable of $0.3 million due to 2011 acquisitions and $0.3 million resulting from purchase price adjustments relating to prior acquisitions and transfers of long-term notes to short-term notes during the period.

Other liabilities (current and non-current) increased by $4.5 million to $55.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $50.5 million at December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of approximately $11.7 million of estimated contingent purchase price liabilities and $0.7 million of guaranteed purchase price related to 2011 business acquisitions, and an increase of $0.4 million related to the self-funded health insurance plan. These increases were partially offset by recognition of $4.9 million of deferred gain on sale of the Company’s individual wealth management business that was effective January 1, 2011, a decrease of $2.1 million in accrued interest payable on the Company’s convertible notes, and adjustments of $1.0 million and payments of $0.3 million related to the estimated contingent purchase price liabilities related to previously acquired businesses.

Income taxes payable—current was $4.4 million at September 30, 2011 versus income taxes refundable of $3.7 million at December 31, 2010. Income taxes payable—current at September 30, 2011 primarily represents the provision for current income taxes less estimated tax payments and tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options. The income taxes refundable balance at December 31, 2010 occurred as CBIZ made estimated tax payments that exceeded the tax liabilities CBIZ expected to incur with its 2010 income tax filings. Income taxes payable – non-current at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $4.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and represents the accrual for uncertain tax positions. The decrease of $0.5 million primarily relates to the release of estimated tax reserves due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.

CBIZ’s convertible notes are carried at face value less unamortized discount. The $36.7 million decrease in the carrying value of the current and non-current convertible notes at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 represents the repurchase of $39.3 million of the 2006 Notes, partially offset by $0.8 million and $1.8 million amortization of the discount on the 2006 Notes and 2010 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (“2010 Notes”), respectively, which is recognized as non-cash interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The convertible notes are further disclosed in Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Bank debt for amounts due on CBIZ’s credit facility increased $40.7 million to $159.6 million at September 30, 2011 from $118.9 million at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to the repurchase of $39.3 million of the 2006 Notes, $26.5 million in payments for current year acquisitions and contingent payments on prior acquisitions, and expenditures of $8.0 million to repurchase 1.2 million shares of CBIZ common stock. These increases were partially offset by cash earned from operating activities.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $29.8 million to $259.5 million at September 30, 2011 from $229.7 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net income of $29.2 million, CBIZ’s stock award programs which contributed $5.3 million, the issuance of $3.2 million in common shares related to business acquisitions, and adjustments of $0.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss to adjust the fair value of CBIZ’s investments in ARS and corporate bonds. These increases were partially offset by share repurchase activity of approximately 1.2 million shares at a cost of $8.0 million, which includes open market share repurchase activity of 1.1 million shares at a cost of $7.3 million and shares repurchased in conjunction with the settlement of restricted stock transactions of 0.1 million shares at a cost of $0.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CBIZ’s principal source of net operating cash is derived from the collection of fees and commissions for professional services and products rendered to its clients. CBIZ supplements net operating cash with a $275 million unsecured credit facility and $130 million in 2010 Notes.

CBIZ maintains a $275 million unsecured credit facility which has a letter of credit sub-facility. On April 11, 2011, the credit facility was amended to extend the maturity date one year to June 2015, reduce interest on outstanding balances, reduce commitment fees on the unused amount, and adjust the leverage ratio limits to provide CBIZ with more flexibility. At September 30, 2011, CBIZ had $159.6 million outstanding under its credit facility and had letters of credit and performance guarantees totaling $7.7 million. Available funds under the credit facility, based on the terms of the commitment, were approximately $41.8 million at September 30, 2011. Management believes that cash generated from operations, combined with the available funds from the credit facility, provides CBIZ the financial resources needed to meet business requirements for the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

The credit facility also allows for the allocation of funds for strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and the repurchase of CBIZ common stock. Under the credit facility, CBIZ is required to meet certain financial covenants with respect to (i) minimum net worth; (ii) maximum total and senior leverage ratios; and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. CBIZ believes it is in compliance with its covenants as of September 30, 2011.

In addition to the debt instruments previously mentioned, CBIZ may obtain, at a future date, additional funding by offering securities or debt through public or private markets.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes CBIZ’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):


	2011			2010

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(191	)	$	(6,647	)

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities represent net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. CBIZ typically experiences a net use of cash from operations during the first quarter of its fiscal year, as accounts receivable balances grow in response to the seasonal increase in first quarter revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group (primarily for accounting and tax services). This net use of cash has historically been followed by strong operating cash flow during the second and third quarters, as a significant amount of revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group during the first four months of the year are billed and collected in subsequent quarters.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $37.6 million and primarily consisted of net income of $29.2 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $21.7 million. Partially offsetting these sources of cash were changes in working capital items of $10.5 million and a net gain on the sale of operations and discontinued operations transactions of $2.2 million. The non-cash adjustments to net income primarily consist of depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of the discount on convertible notes and deferred financing fees, stock based compensation expense, deferred income tax expense, and adjustments to contingent purchase price liabilities. Net changes in working capital were primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable due to an increase in revenues and an increase in DSO from 72 days at December 31, 2010 to 80 days at September 30, 2011, partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable resulting from the timing of payments. Cash used by discontinued operations was $0.6 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was composed of net income of $26.2 million, non-cash adjustments to net income of $26.1 million, and a net loss on the sale of operations and the discontinued operations transactions totaling $2.7 million. These sources of cash were partially offset by changes in working capital of $11.3 million. Non-cash items mainly consist of depreciation and amortization, amortization of the convertible notes discounts and related deferred financing costs, loss on redemption of 2006 Notes, adjustments related to contingent earnouts, and expense related to stock based compensation. Working capital resulted in a use of cash primarily from slower collections on accounts receivable as evidenced by the increase in DSO from 66 days at December 31, 2009 to 81 days at September 30, 2010. This use of working capital was substantially offset by sources of cash resulting from the timing of payments related to interest, insurance and taxes, an increase in compensation incentive accruals, an increase in restructuring charges related to the Florida office consolidation, and increases in the accrual for contingent payments related to acquisitions. Cash used by discontinued operations was $2.2 million.

Investing Activities

CBIZ’s investing activities typically result in a net use of cash, and generally consist of: payments towards business acquisitions, contingent payments associated with prior acquisitions of businesses and client lists, activities related to funds held for clients, payment on capital expenditures and proceeds received from sales of divestitures and discontinued operations. Capital expenditures primarily consisted of investments in technology, leasehold improvements and purchases of furniture and equipment.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $21.2 million and $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Investing uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily consisted of $25.7 million of net cash used for business acquisitions and contingent payments on prior acquisitions, and capital expenditures of $3.7 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by net activity related to funds held for clients of $7.4 million and $0.8 million of proceeds from the sale of divested and discontinued operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, investing uses of cash consisted of $35.4 million of net cash used towards business acquisitions and for contingent payments on prior acquisitions and $2.1 million for capital expenditures. Substantially offsetting these uses of cash were $10.5 million of net activity related to funds held for clients and $1.3 million of proceeds from the sale of divested and discontinued operations.

Financing Activities

CBIZ’s financing cash flows typically consist of net borrowing and payment activity from the credit facility, net change in client fund obligations, repurchases of CBIZ common stock, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities were $16.6 million and $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Financing sources of cash included $40.7 million in net proceeds on the credit facility and $0.9 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options (including tax benefits). These sources of cash were substantially offset by uses of cash which included $39.3 million used to repay the 2006 Notes, $8.0 million used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock, net change of $9.8 million in client fund obligations as a result of timing of cash received and payments made, $0.6 million in cash used to pay for debt issuance costs related to the amendment of the credit facility, $0.3 million in payments for contingent consideration included as part of the initial measurement of prior business acquisitions, and payment on notes payable of $0.2 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, financing uses of cash include $60.0 million used to repurchase 2006 Notes at par, $86.1 million to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock, net change of $10.5 million in client fund obligations as a result of timing of cash received and payments made and $6.1 million for debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2010 Notes and the amendment to the unsecured credit facility. These uses were substantially offset by sources of cash which included $130.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of the 2010 Notes, $9.0 million in net proceeds on the credit facility and $1.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options (including tax benefits).

(4)	Does not reflect $4.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which the Company has accrued for uncertain tax positions, as CBIZ is unable to determine a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of the future payments.

(5)	Represents contingent earnout liability that is expected to be paid over the next three years to businesses CBIZ acquired on or after January 1, 2009.

(6)	Represents an estimate of potential earnout payments to be made over the next two years to those businesses CBIZ acquired prior to January 1, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements with independent CPA firms (as described more fully in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010), which qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ.

CBIZ provides guarantees of performance obligations for a CPA firm with which CBIZ maintains an administrative service agreement. Potential obligations under the guarantees totaled $5.2 million and $3.4 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. CBIZ has recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees. The liability is recorded as other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. CBIZ does not expect it will be required to make payments under these guarantees.

CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which totaled $2.5 million and $3.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, CBIZ provides license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 totaled $1.5 million.

CBIZ has various agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by CBIZ under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are typically subject to challenge by CBIZ and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, CBIZ’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, CBIZ may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by CBIZ. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of CBIZ’s obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2011, CBIZ was not aware of any material obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require payment.

Interest Rate Risk Management

CBIZ has periodically used interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps effectively mitigate CBIZ’s exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of the floating rate debt under the credit facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. At September 30, 2011, CBIZ had an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $40 million, of which $25.0 million will expire in June 2014 and the remaining $15.0 million will expire in June 2015. At December 31, 2010, CBIZ had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $20 million which expired in January 2011. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as it deems appropriate under certain operating and market conditions. CBIZ does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

CBIZ carries $130.0 million in 2010 Notes bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.875% that mature on October 1, 2015. CBIZ believes the fixed nature of these borrowings mitigate its interest rate risk.

In connection with payroll services provided to clients, CBIZ collects funds from its clients’ accounts in advance of paying these client obligations. These funds held for clients are segregated and invested in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which requires all investments carry an investment grade rating. The interest income on these investments mitigates the interest rate risk for the borrowing costs of CBIZ’s credit facility, as the rates on both the investments and the outstanding borrowings against the credit facility are based on market conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to CBIZ’s critical accounting policies from the information provided in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading Critical Accounting Policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Valuation of Goodwill

Goodwill impairment testing between annual testing dates may be required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. A further description of assumptions used in the Company’s annual impairment testing are provided in CBIZ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There was no goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2010 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

CBIZ reviewed the significant assumptions that it used in its goodwill impairment analysis to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The analyses focused on management’s current expectations of future cash flows, as well as current market conditions that impact various economic indicators that are utilized in assessing fair value. Based on these analyses and the lack of any other evidence or significant event, it was determined that the Company did not have to perform a goodwill assessment during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”) “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which states that comprehensive income should be presented in either one or two consecutive financial statements. Companies will have the option to either present other comprehensive income on the same statement as net income, or as a separate statement that immediately follows the statement of net income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for the first reporting period after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. Currently, other comprehensive income is presented in the notes to CBIZ’s consolidated financial statements and the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will result in CBIZ presenting other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29 (“ASU 2010-29”) “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 by modifying the disclosure requirements of pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 also expands supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 was effective prospectively for business combinations in which the acquisition date is on or after the first day of the annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding CBIZ’s financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as “intends,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “foreseeable future,” “seeks,” and words or phrases of similar import in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results. From time to time, the Company also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials the Company releases to the public. Any or all of the Company’s forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements that the Company makes, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions the Company might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: CBIZ’s ability to adequately manage its growth; CBIZ’s dependence on the services of its CEO and other key employees; competitive pricing pressures; general business and economic conditions; changes in governmental regulation and tax laws affecting its operations; reversal or decline in the current trend of outsourcing business services; revenue seasonality or fluctuations in and collectability of receivables; liability for errors and omissions of the Company’s businesses; regulatory investigations and future regulatory activity (including without limitation inquiries into compensation arrangements within the insurance brokerage industry); and reliance on information processing systems and availability of software licenses. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed.

A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in CBIZ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Except as required by the federal securities laws, CBIZ undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC, such as quarterly, periodic and annual reports.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

CBIZ’s floating rate debt under its credit facility exposes the Company to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the reference rate set by Bank of America, N.A., would affect the rate at which CBIZ could borrow funds under its credit facility. CBIZ’s balance outstanding under its credit facility at September 30, 2011 was $159.6 million. If market rates were to increase or decrease 100 basis points from the levels at September 30, 2011, interest expense would increase or decrease approximately $1.2 million annually.

CBIZ does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. CBIZ uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. CBIZ’s interest rate swaps effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of floating rate debt under the credit facility, to a fixed rate basis. The interest rate swap agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate interest amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. At September 30, 2011, CBIZ had a $40 million notional amount of interest rate swap outstanding, of which $25.0 million will expire in June 2014 and the remaining $15.0 million will expire in June 2015. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as it deems appropriate under certain operating and market conditions.

In connection with CBIZ’s payroll business, funds held for clients are segregated and invested in short-term investments which include corporate bonds. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, all investments carry an investment grade rating. At each respective balance sheet date, these investments are adjusted to fair value with fair value adjustments being recorded to other comprehensive income or loss for the respective period. If an investment is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to credit loss, then the adjustment is recorded to “Other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations. See Notes 7 and 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding these investments and the related fair value assessments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation (“Controls Evaluation”) was done with the participation of CBIZ’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that CBIZ files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CBIZ in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Controls”) will prevent all error and all fraud. Although CBIZ’s Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within CBIZ have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

The Company’s Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based upon the Controls Evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, CBIZ’s Disclosure Controls were effective at that reasonable assurance level.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s Internal Controls that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, CBIZ’s Internal Controls.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In May, June, July, August and September of 2010, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary, CBIZ MHM, LLC (fka CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory Services, LLC) (“the CBIZ Parties”), were named as defendants in lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (Robert Facciola, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.) and in the Superior Court for Maricopa County Arizona (Victims Recovery, LLC v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.; Roger Ashkenazi, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.; Mary Marsh, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.; and ML Liquidating Trust v. Mayer Hoffman McCann, PC, et al.), respectively. The Maricopa County cases were removed to the United States District Court or Bankruptcy Court but all, except ML Liquidating Trust, have since been remanded to the Superior Court for Maricopa County. These remand orders are currently being appealed. The motion to remand the ML Liquidating Trust matter was denied and the Plaintiff is seeking permission to appeal that ruling. The Facciola plaintiffs seek to proceed as a class action. Additionally, in November 2009, CBIZ MHM, LLC was named as a defendant in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (Jeffery C. Stone v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.). These matters arise out of the bankruptcy proceedings related to Mortgages Ltd., a mortgage lender to developers in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Various other professional firms not related to the Company are also defendants in these lawsuits. The motion phase of these proceedings has commenced and the discovery phase in Facciola has commenced.

The CBIZ Parties deny all allegations of wrongdoing made against them in these actions and are vigorously defending the proceedings. The Company has been advised by Mayer Hoffman McCann PC that it denies all allegations of wrongdoing made against it and that it intends to continue vigorously defending the matters. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes that the allegations are without merit and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In conjunction with the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” described in Part I, Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These risks could materially and adversely affect the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of CBIZ.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Periodically, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorizes a Share Repurchase Plan which allows the Company to purchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions according to SEC rules. On February 10, 2011, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorized a Share Repurchase Plan which authorized the purchase of up to 5.0 million shares of CBIZ common stock. The Share Repurchase Plan is effective beginning April 1, 2011 and expires one year from the effective date. The repurchase plan does not obligate CBIZ to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time. In addition, pursuant to an agreement (the “Westbury Agreement”) entered into on September 14, 2010 by CBIZ with its largest shareholder, Westbury (Bermuda) Ltd. (“Westbury”), a company organized by CBIZ founder Michael G. DeGroote, CBIZ purchased an option for $5.0 million to purchase up to approximately 7.7 million shares of CBIZ’s common stock at a price of $7.25 per share, which constitutes the remaining shares of CBIZ’s common stock held by Westbury. This option expires on September 30, 2013.

Stock repurchase activity during the three months ended September 30, 2011 (reported on a trade-date basis) is summarized in the table below (in thousands, except per share data).


	Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid Per Share (1)		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans		Maximum Number of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans

Total third quarter purchases (2)		1,105	$	6.64		1,105

(1)	Average price paid per share includes fees and commissions, if applicable.

(2)

The Company utilized, and may utilize in the future, a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to allow for repurchases by the Company during periods when it would not normally be active in the trading market due to regulatory restrictions. Under the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, a broker is granted discretion to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf, and the broker is unable to repurchase shares above a pre-determined price per share. Additionally, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased by the Company each day is governed by Rule 10b-18.

According to the terms of CBIZ’s credit facility, CBIZ is not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other than dividend payments made by one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to the parent company. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a description of working capital restrictions and limitations upon the payment of dividends.
