PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, was founded in 1969 as a payroll service company and has evolved into a leading provider of payroll and temporary and permanent medical staffing services throughout the 50 states. TeamStaff's corporate headquarters is in Somerset, New Jersey and it has offices located in Clearwater, Florida, Woburn, Massachusetts, Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia. TeamStaff's wholly-owned subsidiaries include TeamStaff Rx, Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Northeast Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Southwest Inc., TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., TeamStaff I, Inc., TeamStaff II, Inc., TeamStaff III, Inc., TeamStaff IV, Inc., TeamStaff V, Inc., TeamStaff VI, Inc., TeamStaff Insurance Services, Inc., TeamStaff VIII, Inc., Employer Support Services, Inc., TeamStaff IX, Inc., Digital Insurance Services, Inc., HR2, Inc., and BrightLane.com, Inc. When we use the term TeamStaff, we mean TeamStaff and its subsidiaries. As a result of the sale of our PEO business as described below, many of these subsidiaries are not actively operating.

TeamStaff provides a variety of employment related services through two business units: (1) its TeamStaff Rx unit provides medical allied health professionals and nurses to doctors' offices and medical facilities throughout the United States on a temporary and permanent basis; and (2) the payroll services division provides customized payroll management and tax filing services to select industries, such as construction. We believe our medical staffing subsidiary is one of the top providers in the niche medical imaging field, placing temporary employees for over 275 clients. The payroll processing division processes payrolls for approximately 700 clients with more than 30,000 employees.

Effective November 17, 2003, TeamStaff sold certain of the assets of the subsidiaries through which it operated its professional employer organization ("PEO") business to Gevity HR, Inc. ("Gevity") for the sum of $9.5 million in cash, $2.5 million of which had been placed in escrow. Under the terms of the asset sale, the escrowed payment was scheduled to be determined approximately 90 days from the November 17, 2003, closing, but was subject to downward adjustment based on any reduction in annualized administrative fees payable by the former TeamStaff PEO clients. Any such downward adjustment could be offset by annualized administrative fees of certain clients produced by former TeamStaff sales representatives during the 90-day period. The assets sold consisted primarily of client contracts, marketing agreements and internally developed software for use in reconciling certain benefit provider monthly invoices. As part of the transaction, Gevity agreed, among other things, to hire certain former TeamStaff employees assigned to the PEO division and assume certain of TeamStaff's lease obligations. Further, TeamStaff agreed to a non-competition agreement which prohibits us from engaging in the PEO business for a period of five years. As a result of the transaction with Gevity, our internal corporate employee staff was reduced by approximately 117 persons, and our workforce staff was reduced by approximately 17,000 worksite employees.

On April 23, 2004, TeamStaff and Gevity agreed that TeamStaff's share of the $2.5 million placed in escrow was $2.25 million. That amount was released from escrow for TeamStaff's benefit. When added to the $7.0 million previously paid by Gevity, the total purchase price paid was $9.25 million. Concurrently, TeamStaff settled obligations to Gevity of $1.2 million related to payroll for TeamStaff's internal employees under a co-employment arrangement, and settled obligations predominantly related to PEO client payments received by TeamStaff during the period following the sale, offset in part by invoices paid by TeamStaff on Gevity's behalf, totaling $1.1 million. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, effective May 2, 2004, TeamStaff sold certain of the assets of TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., the subsidiary through which it operated its temporary technical staffing business, to Metro Tech Consulting Services, Inc. for the sum of $65,000.

TeamStaff, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey on November 25, 1969 and maintains its executive offices at 300 Atrium Drive, Somerset, New Jersey 08873 where its telephone number is (732) 748-1700.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Private Placement Offering

TeamStaff entered into Securities Purchase Agreements as of November 5, 2004, with several accredited investors for the private sale under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D of securities for an aggregate purchase price of $4,305,600. The offering consisted of the sale of 2,392,000 shares of Common Stock and 598,000 common stock warrants. The investors in the transaction received one three-year warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share for every four shares of common stock purchased in the transaction.

Closing of the offering occurred on Wednesday, November 10, 2004. TeamStaff received net proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 after payment of commissions and related offering expenses. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets and Maxim Group LLC served as selling agents on TeamStaff's behalf and received combined commissions of 6.5% of the gross proceeds. The net proceeds will be used principally to fund the Company's internal growth initiatives and to execute on its strategy of completing complementary acquisitions in the temporary medical staffing industry.

The private placement was made only to accredited investors in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The shares of common stock and warrants issued are restricted securities and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. On November 12, 2004, TeamStaff filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing for the resale by the investors of the securities sold in the offering. The Securities and Exchange Commission has not yet declared the Registration Statement effective.

Acquisition of Certain Assets of Nursing Innovations, Inc.

On November 14, 2004, TeamStaff's medical staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, Inc., completed the purchase of certain of the assets of Nursing Innovations, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based provider of travel and per diem nurses and its affiliate, Vitriarc, Inc., which is engaged in permanent medical staffing. Nursing Innovations had offices in Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana, which have become TeamStaff offices servicing the medical staffing division. TeamStaff Rx also acquired the goodwill of Nursing Innovations' principal shareholder, William L. Booth, related to the business. The combined purchase price was approximately $1.8 million, of which $180,000 will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year following closing to provide security for the sellers' indemnification obligations. The purchase price is subject to downward adjustment based on the percentage of former Nursing Innovations business that successfully transfers to TeamStaff Rx. Additionally, TeamStaff entered into a two-year employment agreement with Mr. Booth pursuant to which Mr. Booth will oversee TeamStaff Rx's temporary nurse staffing business at an initial base salary of $100,000, increasing to $125,000 in the second year of the agreement's term. There are also certain deferred purchase price provisions which may increase the total purchase price based upon on the performance of the former Nursing Innovations business during the two years following closing of the transaction.

SERVICES

I.    Medical Staffing Services

TeamStaff provides medical staffing services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, Inc., which has more than 23 years of experience in placing temporary and permanent employees with specialized skills and talents to regional and national medical facilities. Temporary medical staffing enables clients to attain management and productivity goals by matching highly trained professional and technical personnel to specific staffing requirements. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, this unit generated $32.9 million of revenue.

TeamStaff Rx focuses its allied health and nurse staffing services in markets where it places employees on a temporary long-term assignment or on a permanent basis. TeamStaff Rx employs radiological technologists, diagnostic sonographers, cardiovascular technologists, radiation therapists, registered nurses and other medical professionals with hospitals, clinics and therapy centers throughout the United States. Clients whose staff requirements vary depending on the level of activity at their facilities are able to secure the services of highly qualified individuals on an interim basis.

TeamStaff Rx's clients are dependent on temporary staffing to supplement various internal departments for staffing shortages due to vacations, medical leaves and other causes. TeamStaff Rx fills its clients' needs by providing qualified medical personnel on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or longer basis, depending upon a client's particular staffing objectives. TeamStaff Rx also provides targeted recruiting and placement for clients for permanent employees. Additionally, if an employee placed on temporary assignment ultimately is hired by the client on a permanent basis, TeamStaff Rx usually receives a recruitment fee from that client.

Our temporary staffing services provide clients the ability to "right size" that is, to expand or reduce their workforces in response to changing business conditions. Management believes that these services provide numerous benefits to the client, such as saving the costs of salary and benefits of a permanent employee whose services are not needed throughout the year. The client also avoids the costs, uncertainty and delays associated with searches for qualified interim employees. TeamStaff Rx's temporary staffing services also allow a client to avoid administrative responsibility for payroll, payroll taxes, workers' compensation, unemployment and medical benefits for these interim employees.

Management believes that its temporary medical staffing services provide a client with an increased pool of qualified personnel. Since TeamStaff Rx's temporary staffing employees have access to a wide array of benefits, such as paid time off, health and life insurance, Section 125 premium conversion plans, and 401(k) retirement savings plans, TeamStaff believes it will be able to attract a sufficient pool of personnel to grow this business. These benefits provide temporary employees with the motivation of permanent workers without additional benefit and administrative costs to the client.

The current shortage in the availability of certain allied health and nursing personnel, along with the advent of certain patient protection measures, has, in management's opinion, created a strong market opportunity for TeamStaff Rx. TeamStaff believes that TeamStaff Rx is in a pivotal position to increase its market share based on its reputation and experience in the temporary medical staffing industry.

TeamStaff is implementing a new sales and marketing and product development strategy with respect to its medical staffing division. Historically, TeamStaff Rx has utilized only a telephonic sales force to generate sales. Over the past fiscal year, TeamStaff Rx has expanded its sales organization to include relationship-based inside and outside sales professionals who maintain contact with existing and prospective clients. Additionally, our recent product development efforts have focused on the introduction of our Vendor Integration Program, which represents a new business strategy for the medical staffing division. The Vendor Integration Program, or VIP, is intended to provide both large and middle-market healthcare institutions and facilities the opportunity to manage their medical staffing needs quickly and efficiently through a web-based application. The VIP centralizes a client's management of its multiple orders, vendors and locations and is intended to free the client of paperwork and time associated with obtaining, tracking and paying for temporary medical staffing personnel.

TeamStaff Rx's goal is to build on its reputation as a leading provider of travel allied healthcare personnel to become a leading one-stop provider of its clients' temporary travel medical staffing personnel. TeamStaff Rx believes it can achieve this goal through a combination of: 1) organic growth; 2) establishing and building a network of alliances with complementary staffing organizations; and 3) completing acquisitions of complementary staffing organizations to increase its product offering and achieve operational scale. TeamStaff Rx's recent acquisition of certain of the temporary nurse staffing assets of Nursing Innovations is part of its acquisitive growth strategy.

II.    Payroll Services

TeamStaff was originally established as a payroll service firm in 1969 and continues to provide payroll and tax reporting services to its clients. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, this unit generated $4.4 million of revenue. Historically, the payroll division has provided these services primarily to the construction industry and currently more than 75% of TeamStaff's approximately 700 payroll service clients are in the construction industry located in the greater New York metropolitan area. TeamStaff offers most, if not all, of what other payroll services provide, including the preparation of payroll checks, direct deposit, government compliance reports, workers' compensation reports and workers' compensation audit reports as required by New York State, quarter and year end tax reports, W-2's (including federal and state magnetic media), and remote processing (via modem or internet) directly from the clients' offices, as well as certified payrolls. Tax reporting services include the impounding of tax payments, timely deposit of tax liability, filing of payroll tax returns, distribution of quarter and year-end payroll tax statements and timely response to agency inquiries.

CUSTOMERS

As of September 30, 2004, TeamStaff's customer base consisted of approximately 975 payroll and medical staffing clients. More than 75% of the clients in the payroll services division are in the construction industry and substantially all of the customers of our TeamStaff Rx, Inc. subsidiary are engaged in the healthcare industry. Due to the acquisition of Nursing Innovations on November 14, 2004, TeamStaff has one client who comprises approximately 8% of the medical staffing unit's revenue.

SALES AND MARKETING

TeamStaff maintains payroll and/or medical staffing sales and marketing personnel in its Somerset, New Jersey and Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana and Clearwater, Florida locations. Our medical staffing division sales efforts historically have primarily been telephonic, although we recently have implemented a geographically disperse sales organization, while our payroll services division sales force travels throughout the metropolitan New York area in an effort to expand our payroll services business.

COMPETITION

The payroll services industry is characterized by intense competition. The principal competitive factors are price and service. Management believes that Automatic Data Processing, Inc., Ceridian, Corp., and Paychex, Inc. are major competitors. TeamStaff also competes with in-house payroll software sold by numerous companies, as well as other providers of computerized payroll services, including banks, and smaller independent companies. The increasing availability of personal computers and software packages at low cost may result in additional businesses acquiring such capabilities.

In TeamStaff's medical staffing business the primary competitors are CompHealth, Aureus Medical Group, Resources On Call, Cross Country Travcorps, Inc., AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc.

TeamStaff competes with these companies by offering customized products, such as TeamStaff Rx's Vendor Integration Program, personalized service, competitive prices and specialized personnel to satisfy a client's particular requirements. Management believes that its broad scope of services and its commitment to quality service differentiate it from its competition.

INDUSTRY/GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Introduction

TeamStaff's operations are affected by numerous federal and state laws relating to labor, tax and employment matters. As an employer, TeamStaff is subject to all federal statutes and regulations governing its employer-employee relationships. The development of additional statutes and regulations

4




and interpretation of existing statutes and regulations with respect to the alternative staffing industry can be expected to evolve over time. TeamStaff cannot predict with certainty the nature or direction of the development of federal, state and local statutes and regulations.

Federal and State Employment Taxes

TeamStaff assumes the sole responsibility and liability for the payment of federal and state employment taxes with respect to wages and salaries paid to its employees, including its temporary staffing employees. There are essentially three types of federal employment tax obligations: (i) withholding of income tax requirements; (ii) obligations under FICA; and, (iii) obligations under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. Under these statutes, employers have the obligation to withhold and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the employee portion of these taxes.

Employee Benefit Plans

TeamStaff offers various employee benefit plans to its full-time employees and temporary staffing employees. These plans include a 401(k) Plan (a profit-sharing plan with a cash or deferred arrangement, or CODA, under Code Section 401(k)), a Section 125 plan, group health plans, group dental insurance, vision insurance, a group life insurance plan and a group disability insurance plan. Generally, employee benefit plans are subject to provisions of both the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. TeamStaff also makes a variety of voluntary insurance products available to its employees, which its employees may purchase through payroll deductions.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Code, the plans must be established and maintained by an employer for the exclusive benefit of its employees. In addition to the employer/employee threshold, pension and profit-sharing plans, including plans that offer CODAs under Code Section 401(k) and matching contributions under Code Section 401(m), must satisfy certain other requirements under the Code. These other requirements are generally designed to prevent discrimination in favor of highly compensated employees to the detriment of non-highly compensated employees with respect to both the availability of, and the benefits, rights and features offered in qualified employee benefit plans.

Employee pension and welfare benefit plans are also governed by ERISA. ERISA defines "employer" as "any person acting directly as an employer, or indirectly in the interest of an employer, in relation to an employee benefit plan." ERISA defines the term "employee" as "any individual employed by an employer."

IRS Issuance of Rev. Proc. 2002-21

In April 2002, the IRS issued Rev. Proc. 2002-21. Rev. Proc. 2002-21 was intended to describe the steps that may be taken to ensure the qualified status of defined contribution retirement plans maintained by PEOs for the benefit of worksite employees. Under Rev. Proc. 2002-21, if a PEO operates a multiple employer retirement plan in accordance with IRS Code Section 413(c), the IRS will not disqualify the retirement plan solely on the grounds that the plan violates or has violated the exclusive benefit rule. Rev. Proc. 2002-21 also provides that if a PEO's retirement savings plan is not operated as a multiple employer retirement savings plan, the plan risks disqualification for violation of the exclusive benefit rule unless a PEO either converts the plan to a multiple employer plan or terminates the plan by December 31, 2003 for calendar year plans. TeamStaff maintained a "frozen" retirement savings plan – The Digital Solutions, Inc. & Affiliated Corporations 401(k) Savings Plan − that was not a multiple employer plan. TeamStaff terminated this plan effective as of December 31, 2002 in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2002-21.

State Regulation

As an employer, TeamStaff is subject to all statutes and regulations governing the employer-employee relationship. Additionally, an increasing number of states have adopted or are considering adopting licensing or registration requirements that affect TeamStaff's temporary medical staffing and

5




permanent placement business. These license and registration requirements generally provide for an evaluation of the operator's background and integrity and periodic or ongoing monitoring of the medical staffing firm's policies and practices. TeamStaff Rx is licensed or registered for its temporary allied healthcare staffing services in the following jurisdictions: Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Rhode Island and has license applications pending in Illinois and New Jersey. TeamStaff Rx is licensed or registered for its temporary nursing business in California, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts Minnesota, North Carolina and Washington. TeamStaff Rx is licensed or registered for its permanent placement business in the District of Columbia, and New Jersey. We continue to review applicable statutes and regulations and prepare appropriate applications for filing.

Information and Technology Systems

In August 2003 TeamStaff developed a web-based remote entry system for the payroll services division. This product allows payroll clients to enter and send payroll data via the Internet. During 2004 this web-based system was enhanced to include a PDF module that allows clients to view, print and download payroll reports and files. This technology continues to enable us to better serve our client base as well as reduce operating costs. The existing client base is being transitioned to the web-based system to provide them with a more efficient and flexible processing tool. Enhancements will continue in fiscal year 2005.

Employees

As of September 30, 2004, TeamStaff employed 112 corporate (non worksite) employees, both full-time and part-time, including executive officers, a decrease from 245 during the previous fiscal year. TeamStaff also employed approximately 190 temporary employees on client assignments. On November 14, 2004, subsequent to the balance sheet date, as a result of the purchase of Nursing Innovations, TeamStaff added an additional 35 employees to the corporate staff. TeamStaff believes its relationship with its current employees is satisfactory. None of TeamStaff's corporate employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

As a result of the transaction with Gevity completed on November 17, 2003, we sold our PEO related business. With the consummation of this transaction, our internal corporate workforce was reduced by approximately 117 persons. Additionally, our worksite employee staff was reduced by approximately 17,000 employees.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below with respect to our operations, businesses and financial condition. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Other risks and uncertainties that we have not predicted or assessed may also adversely affect us. Some of the information in this filing contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "estimate," and "continue" or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully for the following reasons:

—  the statements may discuss our future expectations;
—  the statements may contain projections of our future earnings or of our financial condition; and
—  the statements may state other "forward-looking" information.

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements contained herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. TeamStaff desires to avail itself of certain "safe harbor" provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this special note to enable it to do so. Forward-looking statements included in this Report on Form 10-K involve known and unknown

6




risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause TeamStaff's actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such future results are based upon management's best estimates based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks related to recently consummated acquisitions as well as future acquisitions, TeamStaff's ability to increase its revenues and produce net income, effects of competition and technological changes, risks related to exposure to personal injury and workers' compensation claims, risks that TeamStaff's insurers may not provide adequate coverage, risks associated with compliance with government regulations such as ERISA, state and local employment regulations, dependence upon key personnel, and TeamStaff's ability to successfully and timely implement its new business strategy for TeamStaff Rx.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are not accurately able to predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed below, as well as any cautionary language in this filing, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Before you invest in us, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in the risk factors below, elsewhere in this filing and other events that we have not predicted or assessed could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, financial condition or business. In such case, the price of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We may acquire additional companies, which may result in adverse effects on our earnings.

We may at times become involved in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. Any acquisition that we may consummate may have an adverse effect on our liquidity and earnings and may be dilutive to our earnings. In the event that we consummate an acquisition or obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity to finance an acquisition, our shareholders may experience dilution in their shareholders' equity. We have historically obtained growth through acquisitions of other companies and businesses. Under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.141, Business Combinations (SFAS No.141) and No. 142 Goodwill and Other intangible Assets implemented in June 2001, we are required to periodically review goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for possible impairment. In the event that we are required to write down the value of any assets under these pronouncements, it may materially and adversely affect our earnings. See the more detailed discussion appearing as part of our Management Discussion and Analysis.

Our management may be unable to effectively integrate acquisitions and to manage our growth, and we may be unable to fully realize any anticipated benefits of these acquisitions.

Our business strategy includes growth through acquisitions and internal development. We are subject to various risks associated with our growth strategy, including the risk that we will be unable to identify and recruit suitable acquisition candidates in the future or to integrate and manage the acquired companies. Acquired companies' histories, geographical locations, business models and business cultures can be different from our own in many respects. Our directors and senior management may face a significant challenge in their efforts to integrate our businesses and the business of the acquired companies or assets, and to effectively manage our continued growth. There can be no assurance that our efforts to integrate the operations of any acquired assets or companies acquired in the future will be successful, that we can manage our growth or that the anticipated benefits of these proposed acquisitions will be fully realized. The dedication of management resources to these efforts may detract attention from our day-to-day business. There can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with these activities or of the success of our integration efforts, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We are dependent upon certain of our management personnel.

We are in the process of completing our turnaround strategy begun in June 2003. We are reliant on the skills and expertise of certain of our management personnel in executing that strategy. While we

7




believe that this turnaround strategy is largely completed and many of the systemic changes anticipated as part of that strategy have been implemented, the termination of the employment of one or more of these management personnel could have a material impact on the ultimate success of our turnaround strategy.

Our financial condition may be affected by increases in health insurance premiums, unemployment taxes and workers' compensation rates.

Health insurance premiums, state unemployment taxes and workers' compensation rates are in part determined by our claims experience and comprise a significant portion of our direct costs. If we experience a large increase in claim activity, our health insurance premiums, unemployment taxes or workers' compensation rates could increase. Although we employ internal and external risk management procedures in an attempt to manage our claims incidence and estimate claims expenses and structure our benefit contracts to provides as much cost stability as possible, we may not be able to prevent increases in claim activity, accurately estimate our claims expenses or pass the cost of such increases on to our clients. Since our ability to incorporate such increases into our fees to our clients is constrained by contractual arrangements with our clients, a delay could occur before such increases could be reflected in our fees, which may reduce our profit margin. As a result, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Our financial condition may be affected by risks associated with our health and workers' compensation claims experience.

Although we utilize only fully insured plans of health care and incur no direct risk of loss under those plans, the premiums that we pay for health care and workers' compensation insurance are directly affected by our claims experience, including the claims experience of our off-site temporary employees. . If this experience is unfavorable, the premiums that are payable by us will increase or coverage may become unavailable altogether. We may not be able to pass such increases onto our clients, which may reduce our profit margins. Increasing health care and workers' compensation premiums could also place us at a disadvantage in competing for new clients. In addition, periodic reassessments of workers' compensation claims of prior periods (when TeamStaff was covered under large deductible-type plans) may require an increase or decrease to our reserves, and therefore may also affect our present and future financial condition.

Our medical staffing business may be adversely affected if there is a continued economic downturn in the healthcare industry.

Our medical staffing business is concentrated entirely in the healthcare industry. The economic downturn in the last three years has caused a reduction in our clients' utilization of our services. Any continued economic weakness generally or in the healthcare industry specifically could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Our payroll business may be adversely affected if there is an economic downturn in the construction industry.

Although we have expanded our services to a number of industries, our payroll service business continues to be heavily concentrated in the construction industry primarily in the New York City metropolitan area. Any economic weakness generally or in the construction industry specifically could have an adverse impact on TeamStaff's results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected due to economic conditions in specific geographic markets.

A significant portion of our revenues are derived from California and North Carolina with respect to our temporary medical staffing division, and the metropolitan New York City area with respect to our payroll services division. While we believe that our market diversification will eventually lessen this risk in addition to generating significant revenue growth, we may not be able to duplicate in other markets the revenue growth and operating results experienced in our California, North Carolina and metropolitan New York City area markets.

8




If unfavorable government regulations regarding temporary and permanent staffing are implemented, or if current regulations are changed, our business could be harmed.

Because many of the laws related to the employment relationship were enacted prior to the development of alternative staffing businesses, many of these laws do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of non-traditional employers. Our operations are affected by numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to labor, tax, insurance and employment matters. Many states require licensure or registration of entities providing temporary health care or nursing services as well as those offering permanent placement services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with any such regulations, which may be imposed upon us now or in the future, and our inability to comply with any such regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that existing laws and regulations which are not currently applicable to us will not be interpreted more broadly in the future to apply to our existing activities or that new laws and regulations will not be enacted with respect to our activities. Either of these changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

We may not be able to obtain all of the licenses and certifications that we need to operate.

State authorities extensively regulate the temporary medical staffing and permanent placement industry and some states require us to satisfy operating, licensing or certification requirements. If we are unable to obtain or maintain all of the required licenses or certifications that we need, we could experience material adverse effects to our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Health care reform could impose unexpected burdens on our ability to conduct our business.

Regulation in the health care field continues to evolve, and we cannot predict what additional government regulations affecting our business may be adopted in the future. Changes in any of these laws or regulations may adversely impact the demand for our services, require that we develop new or modified services to meet the demands of the marketplace, or require that we modify the fees that we charge for our services. Any such changes may adversely impact our competitiveness and financial condition.

We bear the risk of nonpayment from our clients and the possible effects of bankruptcy filings by clients.

To the extent that any client experiences financial difficulty, or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations as they become due, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. For work performed prior to the termination of a client agreement, we may be obligated, as an employer, to pay the gross salaries and wages of our temporary medical employees and the related employment taxes and workers' compensation costs, whether or not our client pays us on a timely basis, or at all. A significant increase in our uncollected account receivables may have a material adverse effect on our earnings and financial condition.

We may be held liable for the actions of our temporary employees and therefore incur unforeseen liabilities.

A number of legal issues with respect to the employment arrangements among temporary staffing firms, their clients and temporary employees remain unresolved. These issues include who bears the ultimate liability for violations of employment and discrimination laws. As a result of our employer status, we may be liable for violations of these or other laws despite contractual protections. While our client service agreements generally provide that the client is to indemnify us for any liability caused by the client's failure to comply with its contractual obligations and the requirements imposed by law, we may not be able to collect on such a contractual indemnification claim and may then be responsible for satisfying such liabilities. In addition, temporary employees may be deemed to be our agents, which could make us liable for their actions.

Our staffing of healthcare professionals exposes us to potential malpractice liability.

Through our TeamStaff Rx subsidiary, we engage in the business of providing temporary healthcare professionals. The placement of such employees increases our potential liability for negligence and professional malpractice of those employees. Although we are covered by professional malpractice liability insurance, which we deem reasonable under the circumstances, not all of the potential liability we face may be fully covered by insurance. Any significant adverse claim, which is not covered by insurance, may have a material adverse effect on us.

We may not be fully covered by the insurance we procure.

Although we carry liability insurance, the insurance we purchase may not be sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future claims, suits or complaints. In addition, sufficient insurance may not be available to us in the future on satisfactory terms or at all. If the insurance we carry is not sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future claims, suits or complaints, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

If we were not able to renew all of the insurance plans that cover temporary healthcare employees, our business would be adversely impacted.

The maintenance of health and workers' compensation insurance plans that cover our temporary healthcare employees is a significant part of our business. If we were unable to secure renewal of contracts for such plans or the renewal of such plans with favorable rates and with competitive benefits, our business would be adversely affected. The current health and workers' compensation contracts are provided by vendors with whom we have an established relationship and on terms that we believe to be favorable. While we believe that renewal contracts could be secured on competitive terms without causing significant disruption to our business, there can be no assurance in this regard.

Our business will suffer if our services are not competitive.

Both the payroll and temporary employee placement industries are characterized by vigorous competition. Since we compete with numerous entities that have greater resources than us in each of our business lines, our business will suffer if we are not competitive with respect to each of the services we provide. We believe that our major competitors with respect to payroll and tax services are Automatic Data Processing, Inc., Ceridian Corp. and Paychex, Inc. Our major competitors with respect to temporary medical staffing resources are CompHealth, Aureus Medical Group, Resources on Call, Cross Country Travcorps, Inc., AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. These companies may have greater financial and marketing resources than we. We also compete with manual payroll systems and computerized payroll services provided by banks, and smaller independent companies.

If we cannot obtain sufficient levels of temporary employees, our business may be affected.

TeamStaff Rx is a temporary employment agency, which depends on a pool of qualified temporary employees willing to accept assignments for our clients. Its business is materially dependent upon the continued availability of such qualified medical temporary personnel. Our inability to secure temporary medical personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Potential tax liabilities may adversely affect our financial condition.

We have received several notices from the Internal Revenue Service regarding potential underpayment or non-payment of payroll-related taxes. We have disputed these notices, and strongly believe that such notices were the result of errors made in reporting taxes paid and the resulting misapplication of taxes paid, in large part due to our operation of approximately thirteen different subsidiaries over the last few years to conduct our various lines of business. The IRS has made claims that, if we were required to pay in full, would materially adversely affect our financial condition. We

10




are contesting these notices because we believe all material payroll-related taxes have been paid. We further believe that once all tax payments are applied appropriately, all material penalties and interest should be abated. We have retained the services of Ernst & Young, LLP to assist us in this regard. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts.

Since we have not paid dividends on our common stock, you cannot expect dividend income from an investment in our common stock.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Future potential lenders may prohibit us from paying dividends without its prior consent. Therefore, holders of our common stock may not receive any dividends on their investment in us. Earnings, if any, will be retained and used to finance the development and expansion of our business.

We may issue preferred stock with rights senior to our common stock, which may adversely impact the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which would adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for our company and thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our preferred stock, in order to discourage or delay a change of control of our company, we may do so in the future. In addition, we may determine to issue preferred stock in connection with capital raising efforts.

Anti-takeover provisions in our Articles of Incorporation make a change in control of our company more difficult.

The provisions of our articles of incorporation and the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, together or separately, could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control and limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock. Among other things, these provisions:

—  require certain supermajority votes;
—  establish certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors and for shareholders' proposals to be considered at shareholders' meetings; and
—  divide the board of directors into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms.

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the board of directors has authority to issue up to 5,000,000 preferred shares without further shareholder approval. Such preferred shares could have dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting and other rights and privileges that are superior or senior to our common stock. Issuance of preferred shares could result in the dilution of the voting power of our common stock, adversely affecting holders of our common stock in the event of its liquidation or delay, and defer or prevent a change in control. In certain circumstances, such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. In addition, the New Jersey Business Corporation Act contains provisions that, under certain conditions, prohibit business combinations with 10% shareholders and any New Jersey corporation for a period of five years from the time of acquisition of shares by the 10% shareholder. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act also contains provisions that restrict certain business combinations and other transactions between a New Jersey corporation and 10% shareholders.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

Operation and Facilities

TeamStaff leases its 15,244 square foot corporate headquarters in Somerset, New Jersey, as well as offices in Clearwater, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Memphis, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Woburn, Massachusetts. The facilities provide sufficient capacity to meet demands for the foreseeable future. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff's total lease expense for continuing operations was $0.8 million. Expense was also recognized through the expiration of the lease terms for facilities TeamStaff will no longer utilize as a result of the sale of the PEO division. This lease expense, net of estimated sublease income, was $1.8 million and is reflected in discontinued operations.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In July 2000, TeamStaff made claims for indemnification against the selling shareholders of the TeamStaff Companies (the Sellers), which were acquired by TeamStaff in January 1999. The claims consisted of various potential liabilities and expenses incurred based on breaches of representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement. The Sellers disputed these claims and attempted to assert claims of their own. On January 12, 2001, TeamStaff entered into a settlement agreement with the Sellers. Under the settlement agreement, the Sellers agreed to be liable and responsible for certain potential liabilities estimated at approximately $0.5 million and agreed that 55,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock, which had been held in escrow since the acquisition, were to be cancelled and TeamStaff agreed to release 29,915 escrow shares to the Sellers. TeamStaff retains 75,000 shares in escrow to provide security for the Seller's obligations. Each party agreed to release each other from all other claims under the acquisition agreements. No third parties have contacted TeamStaff seeking payment in the last fiscal year for these potential liabilities. In the event that TeamStaff incurs liability to third parties with respect to the claims, TeamStaff would declare an event of default under the settlement agreement and seek collection from the Sellers.

TeamStaff's subsidiary, BrightLane, is party to a suit brought by one of its former shareholders (Atomic Fusion, Inc. v. BrightLane.com, Inc. Civil Action No ONS02246OE, Fulton County State Court, Georgia). The plaintiff seeks damages for alleged unpaid contractual services provided to BrightLane, alleging that the shares (both in number and value) of BrightLane stock provided to the plaintiff in payment of services were inadequate to pay for the alleged agreed upon value of services. TeamStaff and BrightLane intend to defend themselves vigorously in this matter and believes that they have meritorious and valid defenses to plaintiff's claims. In addition, the former shareholders of BrightLane have placed approximately 158,000 shares in escrow to provide indemnification for any claims made by TeamStaff under the acquisition agreement, subject to a $0.3 million threshold. Some or all of these shares may be canceled in an amount equal to the amount of any claim or expense in excess of the threshold. Under the terms of the agreements between TeamStaff and BrightLane, the value of the shares held in escrow is $8.10 per share. It is possible that an award in favor of Atomic Fusion would result in monetary damages against TeamStaff, which could not be recovered under the indemnification provisions because cancellation of the shares in escrow is the sole method of satisfying these indemnification obligations. On November 20, 2003, the Fulton County Superior Court (to which the action was transferred) awarded summary judgment in BrightLane's favor on all counts of Atomic Fusion's complaint except for a beach of contract claim. A trial was held on Atomic Fusion's breach of contract claim before a jury over four days, from August 16 through August 19, 2004. The jury returned a verdict in Atomic Fusion's favor, awarding $534,246 in damages and $116,849 in attorney's fees, for a total verdict of $651,095, including interest and costs. BrightLane has filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, which currently is pending before the court. BrightLane believes that the jury's award of damages and attorneys fees was not supported by Georgia law. BrightLane also has filed a motion to recover certain of its attorneys' fees expended in pursuing its motion for summary judgment. This motion also is pending before the court. Depending upon the outcome of these motions, BrightLane intends to appeal the jury's verdict on liability or damages or both.

In connection with TeamStaff's acquisition of BrightLane effective as of August 31, 2001, persons holding BrightLane options to acquire approximately 2.1 million BrightLane shares (the equivalent of approximately 481,000 TeamStaff shares) exercised their options. BrightLane made recourse loans of approximately $1.0 million principal amount to the holders of these options to assist them in payment of tax obligations incurred with exercise of the options. The loans were repayable upon the earlier of (i) sale of the TeamStaff shares or (ii) three years. As of September 30, 2004, approximately $0.7 million of these loans has been repaid or forgiven. All loans were to be repaid in cash with the exception of one loan. Under the terms of TeamStaff's employment agreement with an executive officer of TeamStaff's BrightLane subsidiary, the loan ($131,000) was forgiven over a two-year period of time. We are considering pursuing litigation against certain of the debtors to recover amounts due.

13




As a commercial enterprise and employer and with respect to its employment-related businesses in particular, TeamStaff is engaged in litigation from time to time during the ordinary course of business in connection with employment-relations issues, workers' compensation and other matters. Generally, TeamStaff is entitled to indemnification or repayment from its former PEO clients for claims brought by worksite employees related to their employment. However, there can be no assurance that the client employer will have funds or insurance in amounts to cover any damages or awards, and as co-employer, TeamStaff may be subject to liability. Additionally, in connection with its medical staffing business, TeamStaff is exposed to potential liability for the acts, errors or omissions of its temporary medical employees. Although TeamStaff believes it has procured insurance that is reasonable under the circumstances to protect it from liability for any such claims of liability, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all potential claims.

TeamStaff is engaged in no other litigation, the effect of which would be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on TeamStaff's financial conditions or results of operations.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On August 3, 2004, TeamStaff held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The only matters before the shareholders was the election of two persons as Class II directors for a term of three years. The persons nominated for election were Karl W. Dieckmann and T. Kent Smith. The record date for persons eligible to vote was June 25, 2004 and as of that date there were 15,714,229 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Voting of the shares of common stock was on a noncumulative basis.

Both nominees were elected to the Board of Directors. The results of the vote were:

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements

Certain statements contained herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "1995 Reform Act"). TeamStaff, Inc. desires to avail itself of certain "safe harbor" provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this special note to enable TeamStaff to do so. Forward-looking statements included in this report involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause TeamStaff's actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such future results are managements best estimates based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks associated with risks undertaken in connection with acquisitions, risks from potential workers' compensation claims, increased insurance costs and required payments, risks from employer/employee related suits such as discrimination or wrongful termination, risks associated with payroll and employee related taxes which may require unanticipated payments by TeamStaff, liabilities associated with TeamStaff's status under certain federal and state employment laws as a co-employer, effects of competition, TeamStaff's ability to implement its internet based business and technological changes, and dependence upon key personnel.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

TeamStaff believes the accounting policies below represent its critical accounting policies due to the significance or estimation process involved in each.

Revenue Recognition

As of and for the period ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff operated two different lines of business, temporary staffing and payroll services, from which it derived substantially all of its revenue.

TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its temporary staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the temporary staffing arrangement, TeamStaff has pricing latitude, TeamStaff selects temporary employees for a given assignment from a broad pool of individuals, TeamStaff is at risk for the payment of its direct costs, and TeamStaff assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as an employer of its temporary employees, and therefore, is deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis, any such amounts that relate to services performed by temporary employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.

The Medical Staffing revenue is recognized as service is rendered. TeamStaff bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover TeamStaff's direct labor costs of the temporary employees, plus an estimate to cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, included in revenue related to Medical Staffing are commissions from permanent placements. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a medical staffing employee to a customer's workforce as a permanent employee.

The payroll services revenue is recognized as service is rendered and consists primarily of administrative service fees charged to clients for the processing of paychecks as well as preparing quarterly and annual payroll related reports.

In connection with its discontinued operation, TeamStaff's professional employer organization division revenues were derived from its PEO division billings, net of worksite employee payroll costs (net method), which included payroll taxes, benefit costs, workers' compensation charges and

18




administrative fees. The net method was used because TeamStaff was not generally responsible for the output and quality of work performed by the worksite employees. These amounts are reflected as part of income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Beginning October 1, 2001, with the adoption of accounting standard (SFAS 142), TeamStaff no longer amortizes goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets, but continues to amortize software at its expected useful life. TeamStaff continues to review its goodwill and other intangible assets for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit's carrying amount is greater than its fair value. If an impairment write off of all the goodwill became necessary, a charge of $1.7 million would be expensed on the Statement of Operations. If an impairment write off of all the tradename became necessary, a charge of $4.2 million would be expensed on the Statement of Operations.

Workers' Compensation

TeamStaff's current workers' compensation insurance provider is Zurich American Insurance Company. The program is managed by Cedar Hill Insurance Agency, Inc., whose duties include underwriting analysis, loss control services, and other program management services.

The Zurich program originally covered the period from March 22, 2002 through March 31, 2003, inclusive. On March 28, 2003, TeamStaff renewed its workers' compensation program with Zurich for the period from April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004, inclusive. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements) The renewal program contained a large deductible feature of $0.5 million for each claim, with a maximum liability cap of the greater of 104.41% of manual premium or $15.6 million. The premium for the program was paid monthly based upon estimated payroll for the year and is subject to a policy year-end audit. The renewal program was collateralized by a letter of credit inuring to the benefit of Zurich, and cash held in a trust account with a third party. A letter of credit for $3.5 million was secured through Fleet, as part of TeamStaff's line of credit. However, effective March 31, 2004, Zurich agreed to a reduction in the amount of the letter of credit to $1.8 million. As a result, on March 31, 2004, TeamStaff secured a new letter of credit in the amount of $1.8 million with SunTrust Bank. Payments were made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the year. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. Assets in the trust may be adjusted from time to time based on program experience. Claims handling services for the program are provided by GAB Robins, a third party administrator. On May 12, 2004, TeamStaff received approximately $1.0 million in return premiums from Zurich. At September 30, 2004, TeamStaff has a prepaid asset of $4.3 million, for the premiums and the prepayments made to the trust for both years of the Zurich plan. TeamStaff believes that, of this amount, an additional $1.0 million in return premiums will be received within the next twelve months, and this is reflected on the balance sheet at September 30, 2004 as a current asset.

In conjunction with the sale of its PEO assets to Gevity, TeamStaff requested a pro rata cancellation of this policy effective as of November 17, 2003. TeamStaff entered into a new workers' compensation program with Zurich covering TeamStaff's temporary employees and, as of January 1, 2004, its corporate employees. The program is managed by Cedar Hill and claims handling services for the program are provided by GAB Robins. This program is a fully-insured, guaranteed cost program that contains no deductible or retention feature. This policy terminated April 1, 2004. Effective April 1, 2004, TeamStaff entered into a new workers' compensation program with Zurich, covering the period from April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, with the same terms as the previous policy.

As of September 30, 2004, the adequacy of the workers' compensation reserves was determined, in management's opinion, to be reasonable. In determining our reserves we rely in part upon information regarding loss data received from our workers' compensation insurance carriers which may include loss data for claims incurred during prior policy periods. TeamStaff has encountered difficulties in receiving timely reporting of claims from CNA for the workers' compensation programs covering

19




January 22, 2001, through March 22, 2002. CNA claims that TeamStaff owes approximately $4.4 million under the programs. TeamStaff is disputing certain of the amounts that CNA claims is due. TeamStaff's own analysis of its ultimate financial liability under the programs yields a substantially lower amount due under the programs. TeamStaff not only believes that its ultimate program expenses are dramatically lower than those calculated by CNA, but TeamStaff believes that its program expenses were exacerbated by CNA's claims handling practices. TeamStaff also filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Insurance, which referred the matter to the New Jersey Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau. Although the New Jersey Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau investigated the complaint and proposed a fine against CNA as well as a refund of $0.2 million in policy issuance costs to TeamStaff, the matter remains unresolved between the parties. In the future, similar problems from our insurance carriers may result in adjustments to our reserves. In addition, these reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed due to their relatively young age, and such variables as timing of payments and investment returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, actual results may vary from current estimates. TeamStaff will continue to monitor the development of these reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of these payments, the interest accumulated in TeamStaff's prepayments and adjust the reserves as deemed appropriate.

Employee Pension Plan

Effective October 1, 2000, TeamStaff adopted a non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP) covering certain TeamStaff corporate officers. TeamStaff's former President and Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer were the only SERP participants. SERP participants also were provided with a split dollar life insurance policy, insuring the life of the participant. Each participant collaterally assigned his policy to TeamStaff to secure repayment of policy premiums. In connection with the change in their employment status, TeamStaff engaged in negotiations with its former President and Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer regarding the payment of certain severance benefits and the satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations to each of them under the SERP and the split dollar life insurance arrangements. On December 31, 2003, TeamStaff executed an agreement with its former President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which TeamStaff agreed to, among other things, release the collateral assignment of the split dollar life insurance policy as of December 31, 2003 and to accelerate the payment of certain agreed upon payments under the SERP in complete satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations under the SERP. TeamStaff entered into a similar agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer effective as of December 30, 2003. That agreement also provided for the payment of severance and other benefits over time in satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations to its former Chief Financial Officer under his severance agreement effective May 22, 2002. The effect of these settlements with the former President and Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer in fiscal year 2004 will be $0.4 million of additional expense related to the SERP. Cash payments of $1.2 million have been made to the former President and Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer in fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. No current officers are participants in or receive any benefits under the SERP.

Deferred Taxes

TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. If the company cannot ultimately realize the benefit of this asset, it would potentially have to write off an amount in excess of $16.8 million.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

TeamStaff maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to pay. However, if the financial condition of TeamStaff's customers were to

20




deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, TeamStaff's accounts receivable balances could grow and TeamStaff could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease net income in the period that such determination was made. For example, TeamStaff currently maintains an allowance of approximately 1.3% of accounts receivable. If, for example, the allowance grew to 3% of accounts receivable, net income would have been reduced by $53,000.

Fiscal Year 2004 as Compared to Fiscal Year 2003-Continuing Operations

TeamStaff's revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $37.3 million and $62.8 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $25.5 million, or 40.6% over the prior fiscal year. Decreased revenues in TeamStaff's Medical Staffing division accounted for approximately $25.3 million of the revenue decline. Lower revenues were attributable, in part, to the decrease in demand for temporary medical staffing workers. We believe hospitals continue to focus on cost efficiencies by placing greater reliance on existing full time staff. This, in turn, has led to less demand for temporary health care professionals. Longer term, we believe the demand for temporary medical personnel will increase, driven in part, by an aging population and an improving economy. We also believe demand will increase as more states introduce legislation for mandatory minimum nurse to patient ratios and overtime limitations. Additionally, we continue to substantially expand our sales and marketing efforts in order to increase our contact with current and prospective clients.

Direct expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $28.5 and $50.6 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $22.1 million, or 43.6% This decrease is a direct result of the lower consolidated revenues. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 76.6% and 80.6%, respectively.

Gross profits for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $8.7 million and $12.2 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $3.4 million, or 28.3%. This decrease is attributed to the reduction in our Medical Staffing business as discussed above. Gross profits, as a percentage of revenue, were 23.4% and 19.4%, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase is due to improved margins in the medical staffing division and the higher gross margin Payroll Services division, which represented 31.7% of total gross profit for fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 versus 24.5% for fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, thus increasing TeamStaff's total gross margin percentage.

Operating expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $11.4 million and $14.6 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $3.2 million, or 22.1%. This decrease is attributed to lower SERP expenses and the absence of severance costs related to TeamStaff's former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, lower corporate expenses, as well as reduced expenses in the Medical Staffing business. Operating expenses, as a percentage of revenue, were 30.5% and 23.2%, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, as revenue declined at a higher rate than operating expenses. While our Medical Staffing division has reduced overall operating expenses, we are increasing our product development, sales and marketing efforts in that division, which has partially offset reductions in general expenses.

Depreciation and amortization for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Other income for the fiscal years ended September 20, 2004 and 2003 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.2 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in late payment fees received by our Medical Staffing division due to associated lower revenues and a more competitive pricing environment.

Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. These tax benefits are a result of losses from operations.

Loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 was $1.8 million, or $.11 per fully diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. This increased loss is due to the

21




decreased performance in our Medical Staffing division, offset partially by decreased costs related to TeamStaff's former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other operating expense decreases.

Losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $2.3 million and $27.4 million, respectively. The loss in 2003 resulted primarily from the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets from the PEO business totaling $25.4 million. Loss from operations from the discontinued business unit, net of tax, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $1.4 million and $27.4 million, respectively. In fiscal year 2004, TeamStaff generated revenue from the PEO business for only the first six weeks, while certain costs associated with the operation of that business unit continued throughout the year. The loss in 2003 resulted primarily from the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets from the PEO business. Losses on disposal, net of tax, were $0.9 million for fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. The loss is based on the selling price of $9.25 million, offset by expenses including the write-down of goodwill and fixed assets, salary, severance and stay bonus payouts to affected employees, accruals for losses from lease obligations in offices no longer used by TeamStaff's continuing operations offset by estimated sublease of unoccupied office space, investment banking fees and other expenses required to dispose of the PEO business.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 was $4.1 million or $0.26 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $28.9 million or $1.84 per fully diluted share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.

Fiscal Year 2003 as Compared to Fiscal Year 2002-Continuing Operations

TeamStaff's revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $62.8 million and $79.8 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $17.0 million, or 21.3%, over the prior year fiscal year. Decreased revenues in TeamStaff's Medical Staffing division accounted for approximately $16.7 million less revenue. This decrease has partially been attributed to our closing of the division's Houston, Texas office in April 2002. This office was primarily involved in staffing per diem nurses in the local Houston market. Our Medical Staffing business places predominantly long term temporary medical personnel in assignments that average at least thirteen weeks compared to per diem staffing, which are typically staffed on an hourly or daily basis. The overhead necessary to support per diem nursing did not justify keeping this location in operation. In addition, due to the increased number of temporary medical staffing companies that have appeared over the last few years, our Medical Staffing business segment is facing increased competition from a number of companies. While many of these companies had traditionally concentrated in the nursing market, they have expanded their operations into markets, such as imaging personnel staffing, where TeamStaff Rx has concentrated, and which previously were substantially less competitive. Also contributing to the decrease in revenues is the recent practice among hospitals of forcing overtime to permanent staff and replacing temporary positions with permanent hires. Longer term, we believe the demand for temporary medical personnel will increase, driven in part, by an aging population and an improving economy.

Direct expenses were $50.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 and $63.8 million for the prior year, representing a decrease of $13.2 million, or 20.7 %. This decrease is a direct result of the lower consolidated revenues. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 80.6% and 79.9%, respectively.

Gross profits were $12.2 million and $16.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 23.9%. This decrease is attributed to the reduction in our Medical Staffing revenue. Gross profits, as a percentage of revenue, were 19.4% and 20.1% for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Operating expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $14.6 million and $12.1 million respectively, representing an increase of $2.5 million or 20.8%. The overall increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an accrual for severance agreement obligations related to TeamStaff's former President and Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer under their severance agreements and the SERP of $2.6 million.

22




Depreciation and amortization for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $0.3 million and $0.2 million respectively.

Interest and other income was $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in late payment fees received by our Medical Staffing division due to a more competitive pricing environment, and referral fees received in fiscal 2002 due to the closing of the Houston Medical Staffing service office.

Interest and other expense was $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 was $0.9 million versus income tax expense of $1.7 million for the fiscal ended September 30, 2002. These tax benefits in 2003 are a result of losses from operations.

Loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 was $1.5 million or $.10 per fully diluted share, as compared to income from continuing operations of $3.0 million or $0.18 per fully diluted share for the same period last year. This decrease is due to the decreased performance of TeamStaff's Medical Staffing division and the accrual for TeamStaff's potential obligations to its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer under their severance agreement and under its SERP.

Losses from discontinued operations net of tax for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 was $27.4 million compared to income from discontinued operations net of tax of $0.1 million for the same period last year. This decrease is predominantly due to the after-tax write down of impaired goodwill and the intangibles related to the Wachovia relationship of $25.4 million.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 was $28.9 million or $1.84 per fully diluted share, as compared to net income of $3.1 million or $0.19 per fully diluted share for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities in the fiscal year 2004 was $1.2 million compared to $6.8 million in fiscal 2003. As part of the sale of the PEO business, TeamStaff received $9.25 million in cash. Use of cash during fiscal year 2004 included increased other current assets related to workers' compensation payments, increased other assets related to increases in TeamStaff's deferred tax asset, additional cash classified as restricted cash related to our letter of credit provided by SunTrust in connection with our Zurich workers' compensation program, reduction in severance obligations to TeamStaff's former CEO and CFO, and losses from continuing and discontinued operations.

TeamStaff entered into Securities Purchase Agreements as of November 5, 2004(subsequent to the balance sheet date) with several accredited investors for the private sale under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D of securities for an aggregate purchase price of $4,305,600. The offering consisted of the sale of 2,392,000 shares of Common Stock and 598,000 common stock warrants. The warrants have a three-year exercise term and an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The investors in the transaction received one three-year warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share for every four shares of common stock purchased in the transaction.

Closing of the offering occurred on Wednesday, November 10, 2004. TeamStaff received net proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 after payment of commissions and related offering expenses. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets and Maxim Group LLC served as selling agents on TeamStaff's behalf and received combined commissions of 6.5% of the gross proceeds. The net proceeds will be used principally to fund the Company's internal growth initiatives and to execute on its strategy of completing complementary acquisitions in the temporary medical staffing industry.

Cash used in investing activities was virtually unchanged during fiscal year 2004 as opposed to $0.4 million used in fiscal year 2003.

Cash used in financing activities in the fiscal year 2004 was $0.1 million, primarily due to comprehensive expense recognized as a result of a change in discount rtes used in the calculation of

23




projected benefit obligations related to the SERP. This is compared to $0.9 million in fiscal year 2003, primarily due to the repurchase of 251,214 shares of TeamStaff stock during the fiscal year.

As of September 30, 2004, TeamStaff had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million and net accounts receivable of $3.0 million. As of September 30, 2004, TeamStaff had working capital of $5.6 million. Management believes its existing cash and funds generated by operations will be sufficient to support cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

On July 22, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase up to 3% of the outstanding shares of TeamStaff's common stock. On November 19, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase of up to $1.0 million in common stock. Since inception we have repurchased 581,470 shares at an average cost of $4.18 per share for a total cost of $2.4 million. As of September 30, 2004, TeamStaff retired 574,470 shares of treasury stock.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On November 17, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the final FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 150-3, "Effective Date for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150 (FAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity' ". The final FSP affects how public and nonpublic entities classify, measure, and disclose certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests associated with finite-lived subsidiaries and mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and requires entities that have already adopted FAS 150 to rescind the adoption of certain provisions of FAS 150 and to permit them to present the adoption of the FSP either by restating previously issued financial statements or as a cumulative effect in the period of adoption. The Company has analyzed its financial instruments in light of FAS 150 and has determined that this statement is not applicable to its financial position and that the adoption of this statement has no impact on its consolidated statements.

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106" ("SFAS 132 (revised 2003)"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, subject to certain exemptions. SFAS 132 (revised 2003) revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This Statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"), which it replaces. It requires additional disclosures to

24




those in the original SFAS 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required information should be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The Company adopted SFAS 132 (revised 2003) as of January 1, 2004. The effect of the adoption of this statement was not material.

In March 2004, the FASB reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," which provides guidance to determine the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity (including individual securities and investments in mutual funds), and investments accounted for under the cost method or the equity method. The guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired should be applied in other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The adoption of Issue No. 03-1 has not had any impact on the Company's financial statements and results of operations.

On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued an exposure document related to share-based payments that would amend SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The FASB has tentatively concluded that companies could adopt the new standard in one of two ways: the modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective transition method. Using the modified prospective transition method, a company would recognize share-based employee compensation cost from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied as if the fair-value based accounting method had been used to account for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date and to any awards that were not fully vested as of the effective date. Using the modified retrospective method, a company would recognize employee compensation cost for periods presented prior to the adoption of the proposed Standard in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123; that is, an entity would recognize employee compensation cost in the amounts reported in the pro-forma disclosures provided in accordance with SFAS No. 123. A company would not be permitted to make any changes to those amounts upon adoption of the proposed Statement unless those changes represent a correction of an error (and are disclosed accordingly.). For the periods after the date of adoption of the proposed Standard, the modified prospective transition method described above would be applied. The FASB expects to issue the final standard by December 31, 2004. The Company continues to evaluate the impact the final standard will have on the Company's results of operations and financial statements.

In April 2004, the EITF reached consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-6, "Participating Securities and the Two Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128" ("EITF 03-6"). EITF 03-6 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in the dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. EITF 03-6 also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-6 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004 and requires retroactive restatement of prior earning per share amounts. The adoption of Issue No. 03-6 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements and results of operations.

ITEM 7a    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

TeamStaff does not undertake trading practices in securities or other financial instruments and therefore does not have any material exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other similar risks, which might otherwise result from such practices. TeamStaff has no material interest rate risk, except with respect to our workers' compensation programs, and is not materially subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or other market rates or prices from market sensitive instruments. In connection with TeamStaff's workers' compensation programs, prepayments of future claims are deposited into trust funds for possible future payments of these claims in accordance with the policies. The interest income resulting

25




from these prepayments is for the benefit of TeamStaff, and is used to offset workers' compensation expense. If interest rates in these future periods decrease, TeamStaff's workers' compensation expense would increase because TeamStaff would be entitled to less interest income on the deposited funds.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA

See attached Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 attached to this report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On April 10, 2002, the Board of Directors of TeamStaff and its Audit Committee decided to change independent public accountants from Arthur Andersen LLP to PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002.

At a meeting held on December 10, 2002, prior to concluding their audit for fiscal 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers expressed its opinion to the Audit Committee of TeamStaff that there were material weaknesses in TeamStaff's system of internal controls, including the adequacy, competency and reliability of operational and financial information, information systems and finance personnel. PricewaterhouseCoopers further stated that information had come to its attention, that if further investigated may materially impact the fairness or reliability of the previously issued financial statements for fiscal year 2001 and/or the financial statements to be issued for fiscal year 2002. PricewaterhouseCoopers also stated that due to an accounting error in the treatment of a supplemental retirement plan, a restatement and a reaudit of fiscal 2001 would be required but it declined the engagement for the reaudit of fiscal year 2001.

In December 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers further advised TeamStaff that it believed it would be essential to employ a new Chief Financial Officer and conditioned the continuance of its audit for fiscal 2002 on the employment of a new Chief Financial Officer. Pricewaterhouse-Coopers acknowledged that in view of the foregoing, it was likely that TeamStaff would be unable to make a timely filing of its annual report for fiscal year 2002.

In response to the foregoing advice from PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that TeamStaff's Chief Financial Officer be relieved of his duties immediately, and a search for a new Chief Financial Officer be commenced. The Board accepted and implemented the recommendations of the Audit Committee in full. We have since retained a new Chief Financial Officer and have established, and will continue to establish, new policies and procedures designed to improve the reliability and reporting of operational and financial information.

Our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2001 were audited by Arthur Andersen which is no longer licensed to practice before the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the restatement of fiscal 2001 required the reaudit of the fiscal 2001 financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers advised the Audit Committee that it would not accept an engagement for the reaudit of fiscal 2001 due to its concerns regarding the internal control issues described above. In light of the need to engage a new auditor for fiscal 2001, the Audit Committee determined that the interests of TeamStaff were best served by engaging new independent accountants willing to audit both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002.

On December 13, 2002, the Audit Committee dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers and engaged Lazar Levine & Felix LLP to serve as TeamStaff's independent public accountants. In conducting the audit for fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, Lazar expanded its testing of TeamStaff's internal controls, including information technology controls, to include the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. This procedure was followed since the Arthur Anderson work papers were not readily available for review by Lazar and to investigate the concerns regarding internal controls raised by PricewaterhouseCoopers. As a result of this expanded testing, no material weaknesses in the systems was revealed and, based on these results, Lazar concluded that only an audit of one restatement adjustment, as discussed below, was appropriate and a full reaudit of the fiscal 2001 consolidated financial statements was not necessary.

26




Prior to its dismissal, PricewaterhouseCoopers had advised the Audit Committee that, in PricewaterhouseCoopers' opinion, TeamStaff should not have applied pension plan accounting to its supplemental retirement plan adopted on October 1, 2000, resulting in a material error requiring the restatement of the fiscal year 2001 financial statements. This would have resulted in an additional after-tax charge to earnings of approximately $408,000 in fiscal year 2001. TeamStaff had engaged an independent firm to design the plan and had reviewed the plan's accounting treatment with Arthur Andersen prior to its certification of TeamStaff's fiscal year 2001 financial statements. Lazar advised the Audit Committee that it had undertaken its own analysis of the appropriate accounting treatment for the supplemental retirement plan. Lazar determined that the plan is indeed a pension plan and TeamStaff had accounted for it as such. Nevertheless, Lazar determined that a restatement of TeamStaff's fiscal year 2001 financial statements was appropriate due to the omission of a note in the fiscal year 2001 consolidated financial statements containing certain required disclosures for the plan. Further, an adjustment in the expense calculation of the plan resulted in a reduction in net income after-tax for fiscal year 2001 of $76,000 from $1,424,000 to $1,348,000.

In light of the foregoing, TeamStaff determined that the conclusions reached by PricewaterhouseCoopers concerning TeamStaff's internal controls and financial and operational systems and personnel were not supported by Lazar's independent analysis or TeamStaff's own assessment of its financial and operational systems and personnel.

During the period of PricewaterhouseCoopers's engagement, which commenced on April 10, 2002, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principle or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to PricewaterhouseCoopers 's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on TeamStaff's consolidated financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers did not report on our consolidated financial statements for any fiscal year. PricewaterhouseCoopers expressed its opinion to the Audit Committee that there were material weaknesses in our system of internal controls, including the adequacy, competency and reliability of operational and financial information, information systems and finance personnel, as described above.

During the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the interim periods up to and including the date of Lazar's engagement, TeamStaff did not consult Lazar with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee retained Lazar to serve as our independent accountants for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004 and 2003. The audit services provided by Lazar consist of examining financial statements, reviewing filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and consulting in regard to various accounting matters as permitted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Under the terms of the SERP, a participant receives a benefit sufficient to provide lump sum annual payments equal to approximately one-third of the participant's base salary on the date the participant becomes a participant. Payment of benefits commences when the participant reaches 65 years of age. The benefit under the SERP is subject to a seven-year vesting schedule (0%, 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%), based on the participant's original date of employment with TeamStaff and contingent on the participant's reaching age 55; provided, however, a participant's benefit becomes fully vested upon a change of control, as defined in the SERP, if within two years of the change of control there is a material change in the participant's job title or responsibilities or if the participant's employment is terminated by TeamStaff for any reason other than conviction for theft or embezzlement from TeamStaff. Additionally, if a participant retires by means of total disability (as

defined in the SERP), the participant's benefit becomes fully vested and benefit payments commence as of the disability retirement date. The SERP does not provide a death benefit. Mr. Kappauf and Mr. Kelly were the only SERP participants.

SERP participants also were provided with a split dollar life insurance policy, insuring the life of the participant until the participant reached age 65. Although the participant was the owner of the Policy, TeamStaff paid all Policy premiums. Each participant had collaterally assigned the Policy to TeamStaff to secure repayment of the premiums through either its cash surrender value or the Policy proceeds. The participant's right to the Policy vested in accordance with the same schedule as the SERP and with similar change of control provisions. Upon the participant's 65th birthday (and in certain other circumstances provided by the Policy agreement), TeamStaff would release the collateral assignment of the Policy provided the participant released TeamStaff from all obligations it may have with respect to the participant (including those under the SERP). However, given the uncertainty of TeamStaff's ability to continue to maintain this payment arrangement in light of certain of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, TeamStaff had, with the President and Chief Executive Officer's consent, deferred paying Policy premiums on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer, pending review of the SERP to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. For the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2002, TeamStaff paid the Chief Executive Officer a bonus in the amount of the Policy premiums, grossed-up to cover allocable income taxes. Pursuant to the severance agreement with Mr. Kappauf, in the event he were terminated for cause, he would be entitled only to his accrued compensation, which means his base salary, reimbursement of business expenses, vacation pay and earned but unpaid bonuses to the date of termination. "Cause" is defined to include conviction of a felony, an intentional and continual failure to substantially perform his duties or an intentional failure to follow or perform a lawful direction of the Board of Directors. If Mr. Kappauf were terminated for disability or death, he would be entitled to his accrued compensation and certain other payments, such as the pro rata bonus amount. The pro rata bonus amount is defined as the amount equal to the greater of the most recent annual bonus amount paid or the annual bonus paid or payable for the full fiscal year ended prior to the termination, in either case pro-rated through the date of death or disability. In the event that Mr. Kappauf's employment terminated for any other reason, the agreement provided for payment of his accrued compensation, a pro rata bonus amount, a bonus amount allocated to the remainder of the term of his employment agreement, his base salary through the remainder of the term of his employment agreement, a severance payment equal to one year's base compensation, a payment equal to the cost of health and other similar benefits for a period of two years and costs associated with outplacement services.

On June 18, 2003, Donald W. Kappauf relinquished his positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of TeamStaff. In light of the circumstances regarding the relinquishment by Mr. Kappauf of his positions, Mr. Kappauf may have had reason to terminate his employment with TeamStaff for "good reason" and exercise his rights under the severance agreement. The term good reason includes "a change in the [e]xecutive's status, title, position or responsibilities . . . ." In addition, TeamStaff may have been required to contribute funds to an irrevocable trust to meet the premium obligations of the split dollar life insurance policy granted to Mr. Kappauf in connection with the SERP.

The severance agreement with Mr. Kelly had terms which are substantially similar to those described above for Mr. Kappauf. Until December 10, 2002, Mr. Kelly held the positions of Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Finance and Secretary of TeamStaff. As a result of the previously disclosed change in his duties, the former Chief Financial Officer may have had "good reason" to terminate his employment with TeamStaff and may have had claims for the severance payments and benefits provided by the severance agreement. The term good reason includes "a change in the [e]xecutive's status, title, position or responsibilities . . . ." In June 2003, Mr. Kelly notified the Board of Directors that he would terminate his employment, effective July1, 2003, for "good reason" and exercise his rights under the severance agreement. Additionally, the change in Mr. Kelly's duties may have caused his benefits under the SERP to become fully vested.

In connection with the change in their employment status, TeamStaff engaged in negotiations with its former President and Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer regarding the payment of certain severance benefits and the satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations to each of them

35




under the SERP and the split dollar life insurance arrangements. On December 31, 2003, TeamStaff executed an agreement with its former President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which TeamStaff agreed to, among other things, release the collateral assignment of the split dollar life insurance policy as of December 31, 2003 and to accelerate the payment of certain agreed upon payments under the SERP in complete satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations under the SERP. TeamStaff entered into a similar agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer effective as of December 30, 2003. That agreement also provided for the payment of severance and other benefits over time in satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations to its former Chief Financial Officer under his severance agreement effective May 22, 2002.

Management Resources and Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

This report is submitted by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TeamStaff. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee was responsible for reviewing TeamStaff's stock option plans and reviewing and approving compensation matters concerning the executive officers.

Overview and Philosophy.    TeamStaff uses its compensation program to achieve the following objectives:

•  To provide compensation, as determined by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, that attracts, motivates and retains the talented, high caliber officers and employees necessary to achieve TeamStaff's strategic objectives;
•  To align the interest of officers with the success of TeamStaff;
•  To align the interest of officers with stockholders by including long-term equity incentives; and
•  To increase the long-term profitability of TeamStaff and, accordingly, increase stockholder value.

Compensation under the executive compensation program is comprised of cash compensation in the form of base salary, bonus compensation and, in some cases, automobile allowances. Executives are also granted severance plans providing various benefits upon termination of employment without cause and, in the case of the CEO, a change of control of TeamStaff. In addition, the compensation program includes various other benefits, including medical and insurance plans and TeamStaff's 401(k) Plan, which plans are generally available to all employees of TeamStaff.

The principal factors which the Management Resources and Compensation Committee considered with respect to each officer's compensation package for fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 are summarized below. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee may, however, in its discretion, apply different or additional factors in making decisions with respect to executive compensation in future years.

Base Salary.    Compensation levels for each of TeamStaff's officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, are generally set within the range of salaries that the Management Resources and Compensation Committee believes is paid to officers with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at similar companies. In setting compensation levels, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee takes into account such factors as (i) TeamStaff's past performance and future expectations, (ii) individual performance and experience and (iii) past salary levels. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee does not assign relative weights or ranking to these factors, but instead makes a determination based upon the consideration of all of these factors as well as the progress made with respect to TeamStaff's long-term goals and strategies. Base salary, while reviewed annually, is only adjusted as deemed necessary by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee in determining total compensation for each officer. Base salary levels for each of TeamStaff's officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, are also based in part upon evaluations and recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer.

Equity Incentives.    The Management Resources and Compensation Committee believes that stock participation aligns officers' interests with those of the stockholders. In addition, the Management

36




Resources and Compensation Committee believes that equity ownership by officers helps to balance the short-term focus of annual incentive compensation with a longer-term view and may help to retain key executive officers. Long-term incentive compensation, generally granted in the form of stock options, allows the officers to share in any appreciation in the value of TeamStaff's common stock.

In making stock option grants, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee considers general corporate performance, individual contributions to TeamStaff's financial, operational and strategic objectives, the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations, level of seniority and experience, existing levels of stock ownership, previous grants of restricted stock or options, vesting schedules of outstanding restricted stock or options and the current stock price. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee approved the grant of 200,000 options, 150,000 of which were granted to executive officers.

Other Benefits.    TeamStaff also has various broad-based employee benefit plans. Executive officers participate in these plans on the same terms as eligible, non-executive employees, subject to any legal limits on the amounts that may be contributed or paid to executive officers under these plans. TeamStaff offers a 401(k) plan, which allows employees to invest in a wide array of funds on a pre-tax basis. TeamStaff also maintains insurance and other benefit plans for its employees, including the executive officers of TeamStaff.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee created the supplemental executive retirement plan, or SERP. The SERP became effective on October 1, 2000. At the present time, no executive officers are participants in the SERP. Donald Kappauf and Donald Kelly, former executive officers, were the only participants in the SERP.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation.

In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, T. Kent Smith, TeamStaff's Chief Executive Officer, received a base salary at the annual rate of $250,000, which was the same as his base salary during the prior fiscal year. TeamStaff employed Mr. Smith as its Chief Executive Officer in June 2003 and paid an aggregate amount of $70,192 to him as base salary for his services as Chief Executive Officer during the period commencing on his employment and through September 30, 2003. Mr. Smith's compensation is determined pursuant to an employment agreement dated June 18, 2003, which provides for base compensation of $250,000 per annum and a bonus, in the discretion of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, of up to 50 % of his base salary. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Smith also was awarded options to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $3.00 per share and subject to certain vesting requirements. Mr. Smith's base salary is believed by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee to be consistent with the range of salary levels received by executives in a similar capacity in companies of comparable size. During the interim period between June 18, 2003 and the end of fiscal 2003, Mr. Smith was awarded a bonus of $35,616 in light of the difficult circumstances under which Mr. Smith was employed and the success he achieved in stabilizing TeamStaff's operations. In accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Smith was awarded a bonus of $100,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. After the close of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, Mr. Smith was awarded an additional option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $2.08 per share and subject to certain vesting requirements.

Compensation of Executive Officers Other Than the CEO During Fiscal Year 2004

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer received base salaries and bonuses which the Management Resources and Compensation Committee believes reflected industry standards, prevailing compensation practices in similar companies with which TeamStaff competes for executive talent, the seniority and skill level of the executive officer, TeamStaff's performance, and each executive officer's contribution thereto. Base salaries and bonuses paid to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 are as set forth in the table provided under the heading "Executive Compensation -- Summary Compensation Table."

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee approved severance agreements for certain executive officers that provide for the payment

37




of six months base compensation in the event of a termination without cause. The specific executive officers covered by this severance arrangement are Rick J. Filippelli, TeamStaff's Chief Financial Officer; Edmund C. Kenealy, TeamStaff's Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary; and Tim Nieman, the President of TeamStaff Rx.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee periodically reviews the number of vested and unvested options held by executive officers and makes stock grants to these executives to provide greater incentives to continue employment with TeamStaff and to strive to increase stockholder value. Stock options typically have been granted to executive officers when the executive first joins TeamStaff, in connection with a significant change in responsibilities and, occasionally, to achieve equity within a peer group. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee made stock option grants to executive officers, as described in the section entitled "Executive Compensation – Option/SAR Grants in Last Fiscal Year." The primary factors upon which specific stock option grants made by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2004 were based are the executive's past performance, anticipated future contribution, consistency within the executive's peer group, prior option grants to the executive officer, the percentage of outstanding equity owned by the executive, the level of vested and unvested options, competitive market practices, and the executive's responsibilities and performance. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee does not set specific target levels for options granted to named executive officers or for the CEO but seeks to be competitive with similar companies.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation.    Section 162(m) of the Code limits the tax deduction to TeamStaff to $1 million for compensation paid to any of the executive officers unless certain requirements are met. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee has considered these requirements and the regulations. It is the Management Resources and Compensation Committee's present intention that, so long as it is consistent with its overall compensation objectives, substantially all executive compensation be deductible for United States federal income tax purposes. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee believes that any compensation deductions attributable to options granted under the employee stock option plan currently qualify for an exception to the disallowance under Section 162(m).

Stock Option Plans

In April 1990, the Board of Directors adopted the 1990 Employees Stock Option Plan (the "1990 Plan"), which was approved by shareholders in August 1990. The 1990 Plan provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 285,714 shares of TeamStaff's common stock. Under the terms of the 1990 Plan, options granted thereunder may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment ("ISOs") under Section 422A of the Code, or options which do not so qualify ("Non-ISO's").

In April 1990, the Board of Directors adopted the Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"), which was approved by shareholders in August, 1991 and amended in March 1996. The Director Plan provided for issuance of a maximum of 142,857 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options arising under the Director Plan.

In April 1990, the Board of Directors adopted and in August, 1990, TeamStaff's shareholders approved the Senior Management Incentive Plan (the "Management Plan") for use in connection with the issuance of stock, options and other stock purchase rights to executive officers and other key employees and consultants who render significant services to TeamStaff and its subsidiaries. A total of 1,428,571 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Management Plan.

The forgoing plans have expired and options are no longer being granted under these plans.

2000 Employee Stock Option Plan

In the fiscal year 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved the adoption of the 2000 Employees Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") to provide for the grant of options to purchase up to

39




1,714,286 shares of TeamStaff's common stock to all employees, including senior management. The 2000 Plan replaces the 1990 Employee Plan and Senior Management Plans, both of which expired. Under the terms of the approved 2000 Plan, options granted there under may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment ("ISOs") under Section 422A of the Code, or options which do not so qualify ("Non-ISO's"). As of September 30, 2004, there were 1,069,000 options outstanding under the 2000 Plan.

The 2000 Plan is administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee designated by the Board of Directors. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the eligible employees to whom, and the times and the price at which, options will be granted; whether such options shall be ISOs or Non-ISOs; the periods during which each option will be exercisable; and the number of shares subject to each option. The Committee has full authority to interpret the 2000 Plan and to establish and amend rules and regulations relating thereto.

Under the 2000 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated, as an ISO shall not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. However, in the event an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder (as defined in the 2000 Plan), such exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value. Exercise prices of Non-ISO options may be less than such fair market value.

The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant, which are designated as ISOs and which become exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant bonuses or authorize loans to or guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay the exercise price or any taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an option. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee can also permit the payment of the exercise price in the common stock of the Corporation held by the optionee for at least six months prior to exercise.

Non-Executive Director Plan

In fiscal 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2000 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") to provide for the grant of options to non-employee directors of TeamStaff. Under the terms of the Director Plan, each non-executive director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares upon joining the Board and each September lst, pro rata, based on the time the director has served in such capacity during the previous year. The Directors' Plan also provides that directors, upon joining the Board, and for one (1) year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from TeamStaff at a price equal to 80% of the closing bid price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The Director Plan replaced the previous Director Plan that expired in April 2000.

Under the Director Plan, the exercise price for options granted under the Director Plan shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Until otherwise provided in the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of options granted under the Director Plan must be paid at the time of exercise, either in cash, by delivery of shares of common stock of TeamStaff or by a combination of each. The term of each option commences on the date it is granted and unless terminated sooner as provided in the Director Plan, expires five (5) years from the date of grant. The Committee has no discretion to determine which non-executive director or advisory board member will receive options or the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the exercisability of the option. However, the Committee will make all determinations of the interpretation of the Director Plan. Options granted under the Director Plan are not qualified for incentive stock option treatment. As of September 30, 2004, there were 100,000 options held by directors outstanding under the Director Plan.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

For information concerning employment and severance agreements with, and compensation of, the Corporation's executive officers and directors, see "Executive Compensation." The Directors' Plan

43




provides that directors, upon joining the Board, and for one year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from TeamStaff at a price equal to 80% of the closing bid price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.

Effective August 31,2001, TeamStaff, Inc. completed its acquisition of BrightLane. As a result of a reverse subsidiary merger with a subsidiary of TeamStaff, BrightLane is now a wholly owned subsidiary of TeamStaff.

In connection with the transaction, persons holding BrightLane options to acquire approximately 2.1 million BrightLane shares (the equivalent of approximately 481,000 TeamStaff shares) exercised their options. BrightLane made recourse loans of approximately $1.0 million principal amount to the holders of these options to assist them in payment of tax obligations incurred with exercise of the options. The loans are repayable upon the earlier of (i) sale of the TeamStaff shares or (ii) three years. As of September 30, 2004, approximately $0.7 million of these loans has been repaid or forgiven. All loans were to be repaid in cash with the exception of one loan. Under the terms of TeamStaff's employment agreement with an executive officer of TeamStaff's BrightLane subsidiary, the loan ($131,000) was forgiven over a two-year period of time. We are considering pursuing litigation against certain of the debtors to recover amounts due. One of our current directors, Ben J. Dyer, was a former shareholder of Brightlane, and received a loan in the amount of $67,840 in connection with the transaction. The loan was on the same terms as provided to all other option holders of BrightLane. The loan was made and repaid prior to Mr. Dyer joining the Board.

Wachovia Corporation, through an affiliate held all of the BrightLane Series B Preferred stock, and therefore owns 2,822,417 shares of TeamStaff's Common Stock (approximately 18%). In addition, Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. held all of the BrightLane Series C Preferred stock, and therefore owns 2,256,488 shares of TeamStaff's Common Stock (approximately 14%).

As part of its acquisition of BrightLane, completed in August 2001, TeamStaff entered into a two-year, extendable marketing relationship with First Union Corporation (renamed Wachovia). The Wachovia relationship provided TeamStaff with the ability to market its PEO services to Wachovia's small business customers through Wachovia's network of small business bankers. The agreement terminated effective as of October 14, 2003. Wachovia Corporation continues as a major shareholder of TeamStaff's stock.

Under the terms governing the transaction, certain option holders were restricted from selling TeamStaff shares acquired from the exercise of their BrightLane options for a period of up to two years. T. Stephen Johnson and his spouse, Mary Johnson, also a former director of BrightLane, were the only option holders who exercised their options and who were subject to these lockup provisions. Due to the significant rise in TeamStaff's stock price and the significant increase in the amount of the tax loans to be made to T. Stephen Johnson and Mary Johnson, the Board of Directors of TeamStaff concluded it would be more appropriate to allow Mr. and Mrs. Johnson to sell a portion of their TeamStaff shares to cover their tax liability rather than carry a large loan receivable on TeamStaff's financial statements. The Board therefore agreed to allow the sale of up to 40% of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson's option shares (approximately 56,230 TeamStaff shares) as an exempt transaction under SEC Rule 16(b)(3).

Under the terms of the agreements governing the BrightLane transaction, TeamStaff agreed to register for resale shares obtained by former BrightLane shareholders who would be deemed "affiliates" under SEC rules and regulations. The registration statement included 6,096,946 shares of common stock owned by these persons. Certain former shareholders of BrightLane, who are selling security holders, including First Union Corporation, Nationwide Financial Services and T. Stephen Johnson agreed to the terms of a "lockup" agreement whereby they have agreed that the shares of TeamStaff obtained by them may only be sold as follows: commencing on the first anniversary of the transaction (August 31, 2002) 50% of the acquired shares may be sold and commencing on the second anniversary the remaining shares may be sold. The Board of Directors has reserved the right to release all of part of the shares from the lockup prior to its expiration.

In addition, Rocco J. Marano agreed to step down as a director upon consummation of the transaction with BrightLane. Effective September 4, 2001, Mr. Marano resigned as a director. In connection with

44




the termination of his services, he received 1,000 warrants for each year of service on the TeamStaff Board of Directors (an aggregate of 16,000 warrants). The grant of the warrants was approved by the Board of Directors as an exempt transaction under SEC Rule 16(b)(3). Mr. Marano has since rejoined the Board of Directors.

TeamStaff entered into a one year, renewable marketing agreement with Directo, Inc. effective as of February 1, 2004. Directo provides financial and direct deposit services to companies and their employees. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, TeamStaff is compensated based on its sales of Directo pay card services. TeamStaff offers these services primarily through its payroll services division. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff has not earned any commissions from its sales of Directo's services. T. Stephen Johnson, TeamStaff's Chairman, is also Chairman of Directo. TeamStaff's entry into the marketing agreement with Directo was approved by the disinterested members of the Board.

During the year ended September 30, 2004, the company shared a portion of its leased office space in Alpharetta, Georgia with an affiliated entity of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, T. Stephen Johnson & Associates, Inc. As part of the agreement, TeamStaff shared the cost of a receptionist, phone service, and leased common area furniture. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff paid $28,000 in shared costs. TeamStaff was responsible for payment of the monthly lease obligation and T. Stephen Johnson & Associates reimbursed TeamStaff in the amount of $34,000 in fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 for their prorated portion of the space. We no longer use these facilities.

ITEM 14.    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

As described in greater detail earlier in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (see Item 9 - "Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure), Lazar Levine & Felix LLP served as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Arthur Andersen LLP served as our independent auditors during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. As described above, Lazar Levine & Felix LLP also provided audit services to us in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The following table presents the total fees paid for professional audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent auditors for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, and fees billed for other services rendered by our independent auditors during those periods.


  Fiscal Years Ended September 30,
  2004 2003
Audit Fees (1) $ 114,000   $ 284,000  
Audit-Related Fees (2)   18,000     41,000  
Tax Fees (3)   137,000     192,000  
All Other Fees (4)   3,000     11,000  
Total $ 272,000   $ 528,000  

(1)    Audit services consist of audit work performed in the examination of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

(2)    Audit-related services consist of assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

(3)    Tax services consist of all services performed by the independent auditor's tax personnel, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

(4)    Other services consist of those service not captured in the other categories.

45




Our Audit Committee has determined that the services provided by our independent auditors and the fees paid to them for such services has not compromised the independence of our independent auditors.

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year's audit, management will submit a detailed description of the audit and permissible non-audit services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services provided by the independent auditor to the Audit Committee for approval. The four categories of services provided by the independent auditor are as defined in the footnotes to the fee table set forth above. In addition, management will also provide to the Audit Committee for its approval a fee proposal for the services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor. Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor, the Audit Committee will approve both the description of audit and permissible non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor and the budget for all such services. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service.

During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires separate pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
TeamStaff, Inc.
Somerset, NJ:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TeamStaff, Inc. as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended September 30, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Part IV, Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We performed our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TeamStaff, Inc. as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002

(1)    ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:

TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, was founded in 1969 as a payroll service company and has evolved into a leading provider of payroll and temporary and permanent medical staffing services throughout the 50 states. TeamStaff's corporate headquarters is in Somerset, New Jersey and it has offices located in Clearwater, Florida, Woburn, Massachusetts, Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia. TeamStaff's wholly-owned subsidiaries include TeamStaff Rx, Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Northeast Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Southwest Inc., TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., TeamStaff I, Inc., TeamStaff II, Inc., TeamStaff III, Inc., TeamStaff IV, Inc., TeamStaff V, Inc., TeamStaff VI, Inc., TeamStaff Insurance Services, Inc., TeamStaff VIII, Inc., Employer Support Services, Inc., TeamStaff IX, Inc., Digital Insurance Services, Inc., HR2, Inc., and BrightLane.com, Inc. When we use the term TeamStaff, we mean TeamStaff and its subsidiaries. As a result of the sale of our PEO business as described in Note 3, many of these subsidiaries are not actively operating.

TeamStaff provides a variety of employment related services through two business units: (1) its TeamStaff Rx unit provides medical allied health professionals and nurses to doctors' offices and medical facilities throughout the United States on a temporary and permanent basis; and (2) the payroll services division provides customized payroll management and tax filing services to select industries, such as construction. We believe our medical staffing subsidiary is one of the top providers in the niche medical imaging field, placing temporary employees for over 275 clients. The payroll processing division processes payrolls for approximately 700 clients with more than 30,000 employees.

During this fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff sold certain of the assets of the subsidiaries through which it operated its professional employer organization ("PEO") business to Gevity HR, Inc. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations."

(2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation-

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TeamStaff, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates-

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

Revenue Recognition-

As of and for the period ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff operated two different lines of business, temporary staffing and payroll services, from which it derived substantially all of its revenue.

TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its temporary staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the temporary staffing arrangement, TeamStaff has pricing

F-8




latitude, TeamStaff selects temporary employees for a given assignment from a broad pool of individuals, TeamStaff is at risk for the payment of its direct costs, and TeamStaff assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as an employer of its temporary employees, and therefore, is deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis, any such amounts that relate to services performed by temporary employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.

The Medical Staffing revenue is recognized as service is rendered. TeamStaff bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover TeamStaff's direct labor costs of the temporary employees, plus an estimate to cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, included in revenue related to Medical Staffing are commissions from permanent placements. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a medical staffing employee to a customer's workforce as a permanent employee.

The payroll services revenue is recognized as service is rendered and consists primarily of administrative service fees charged to clients for the processing of paychecks as well as preparing quarterly and annual payroll related reports.

In connection with its discontinued operation, TeamStaff's professional employer organization division revenues were derived from its PEO division billings, net of worksite employee payroll costs (net method), which included payroll taxes, benefit costs, workers' compensation charges and administrative fees. The net method was used because TeamStaff was not generally responsible for the output and quality of work performed by the worksite employees. These amounts are reflected as part of income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk-

Financial instruments that potentially subject TeamStaff to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. TeamStaff maintains substantially all its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. TeamStaff monitors the financial health of these banking institutions.

TeamStaff's customer base consists of approximately 975 client companies, representing approximately 30,000 employees (including payroll services employees) as of September 30, 2004. More than 75% of the customers in the payroll processing area are in the construction industry and substantially all of TeamStaff Rx's customers are in the healthcare industry. Credit, when given, is generally granted on an unsecured basis.

Cash Equivalents-

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, TeamStaff considers all liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash-

Restricted cash is in connection with a certificate of deposit held by SunTrust Bank as collateral for a letter of credit related to the Zurich workers' compensation program.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts-

TeamStaff maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to pay. However, if the financial condition of TeamStaff's customers were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, TeamStaff's accounts receivable balances could grow and TeamStaff could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease net income in the period that such determination was made.

Fair Value-

TeamStaff has financial instruments, none of which is held for trading purposes. TeamStaff estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at September 30, 2004 and 2003, does not differ

F-9




materially from the aggregate carrying values of these financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by TeamStaff using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that TeamStaff could realize in a current market exchange.

Equipment and Improvements-

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives (3 to 5 years) and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life for leasehold improvements.

Advertising Costs-

The company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Total advertising costs were $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Acquired Intangible Assets-

(Amounts in thousands)


Tradename $ 4,199  

TeamStaff determined that no impairment of its tradename existed as of September 30, 2004. TeamStaff will continue to review annually its remaining indefinite life intangible assets for possible impairment or loss of value.

Impairment of Wachovia Relationship Intangibles:

Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. As part of its acquisition of BrightLane, completed in August 2001, TeamStaff entered into a two-year, extendable marketing relationship with First Union Corporation (renamed Wachovia). The Wachovia relationship was intended to provide TeamStaff with the ability to market its PEO services to Wachovia's small business customers through Wachovia's network of small business bankers. The relationship did not produce the anticipated number of PEO clients or worksite employees. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003, TeamStaff determined that, based on estimated future cash flows, the carrying amount of the Wachovia marketing relationship, which was assigned to TeamStaff's PEO reporting segment, exceeded its fair value by $5.7 million; accordingly, an impairment loss of that amount, as indicated by an independent outside valuation, was recognized and was included in impairment of intangible assets. TeamStaff received written notice from Wachovia terminating the current agreement effective October 14, 2003. TeamStaff therefore wrote off the full remaining value of the Wachovia relationship, $1.2 million during the third fiscal quarter 2003. The impairment of these intangible assets is included in discontinued operations.

Goodwill:

(Amounts in thousands)


  Medical Staffing
Balance as of September 30, 2003 $ 1,710  
Goodwill impairment writedown    
Goodwill adjustment during year    
Balance as of September 30, 2004 $ 1,710  

F-10




Impairment of Goodwill:

Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units and, in accordance with SFAS 142, is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit's carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. As of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2002, TeamStaff carried a total of $27.2 million in goodwill. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003, TeamStaff determined that the carrying amount of the PEO reporting segment exceeded its fair value, which was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash inflows and the market approach which compares TeamStaff to other comparable entities. The decision to test for impairment was based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the overall downturn in the nation's economy, the relatively recent substantial decrease in the number of TeamStaff PEO worksite employees, the performance of the Wachovia marketing relationship, the reduced valuations of individual PEOs by various market analysts and the associated market downgrade in the PEO industry generally. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment loss of $20.4 million, as indicated by an independent outside valuation, was recognized in the PEO reporting unit for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003. The goodwill impairment loss is included in discontinued operations. As a result of the sale of the PEO business, TeamStaff has written off the remaining goodwill related to the PEO business of $5.4 million in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. This write off is included in discontinued operations.

TeamStaff determined that no impairment of its remaining goodwill existed as of September 30, 2004. TeamStaff will continue to review annually its remaining goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value.

Long-Lived Assets-

TeamStaff reviews it long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management of TeamStaff believes that no such events or changes in circumstances have occurred though September 30, 2004. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, a loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset is in excess of the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

Workers' Compensation-

TeamStaff applies loss-development factors to its open years' workers' compensation incurred losses in order to estimate fully developed losses as well as other formula driven methodologies supplied by its current third party administrator. (See Note 8)

Income Taxes-

TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. (See Note 5)

Reclassifications-

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years amounts to conform to the current year presentation. These changes include a portion of prepaid workers' compensation reclassified as a long term asset, a portion of liability insurance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations, reclassification of certain fixed assets to discontinued operations, and a reclassification of late fee income earned by the medical staffing division from interest income to other income.

F-11




Stock-Based Compensation-

Stock-based compensation for employees and directors is recognized using the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25. TeamStaff uses the fair value method for options issued to non-employees. For disclosure purposes, pro forma net income (loss) impacts are provided as if the fair market value method has been applied.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which was effective October 1, 1996, as amended, the fair value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for proforma footnote purposes with the following assumptions; dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 3.68%, 2.58% and 4.16% in fiscal years ended September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively, and expected option life of 4 years. Expected volatility was assumed to be 68%, 73%, and 72% in fiscal years ended September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

As permitted by SFAS 123, TeamStaff has chosen to continue to account for its employee stock-based compensation at their intrinsic value in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended, to stock-based employee compensation.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share-

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities.

In accordance with SFAS 128, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

Stock options and warrants outstanding at September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002 to purchase 1,252,941, 1,456,900, and 257,298 shares of common stock respectively were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as they were antidilutive.

On November 5, 2004, subsequent to the balance sheet date, TeamStaff issued approximately 2.4 million shares of restricted stock in a private placement offering (See note 4). These shares would have been included in the basic and dilutive earnings per share computation. TeamStaff also issued 598,000 common stock warrants as part of the offering, which would not have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were antidilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)-

TeamStaff has comprehensive losses resulting from its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) (See Note 12). When TeamStaff's SERP obligations were measured at September 30, 2004, the amount of the Projected Benefits Obligation (PBO) exceeded the recorded SERP liability. This was due to the fact that rates earned on fixed income investments steadily decreased. The discount rates used in the PBO calculations dropped from 6.5% in September 2002 to 5.5% in 2003, and to 3.0% in 2004. These changes resulted in a comprehensive loss net of tax in fiscal year 2004 of $38,000, in fiscal year 2003 of $131,000, and in fiscal year 2002 of $79,000. No other sources of comprehensive gains or losses occurred.

Recent Accounting Standards:

On November 17, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the final FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 150-3, "Effective Date for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150 (FAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.' " The final FSP affects how public and nonpublic entities classify, measure, and disclose certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests associated with finite-lived subsidiaries and mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and requires entities that have already adopted FAS 150 to rescind the adoption of certain provisions of FAS 150 and to permit them to present the adoption of the FSP either by restating previously issued financial statements or as a cumulative effect in the period of adoption. The Company has analyzed its financial instruments in light of FAS 150 and has determined that this statement is not applicable to its financial position and that the adoption of this statement has no impact on its consolidated statements.

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106" ("SFAS 132 (revised 2003)"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, subject to certain exemptions. SFAS 132 (revised 2003) revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This Statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in

F-13




Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"), which it replaces. It requires additional disclosures to those in the original SFAS 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required information should be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The Company adopted SFAS 132 (revised 2003) as of January 1, 2004. The effect of the adoption of this statement was not material.

In March 2004, the FASB reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," which provides guidance to determine the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity (including individual securities and investments in mutual funds), and investments accounted for under the cost method or the equity method. The guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired should be applied in other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The adoption of Issue No. 03-1 has not had any impact on the Company's financial statements and results of operations.

On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued an exposure document related to share-based payments that would amend SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The FASB has tentatively concluded that companies could adopt the new standard in one of two ways: the modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective transition method. Using the modified prospective transition method, a company would recognize share-based employee compensation cost from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied as if the fair-value based accounting method had been used to account for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date and to any awards that were not fully vested as of the effective date. Using the modified retrospective method, a company would recognize employee compensation cost for periods presented prior to the adoption of the proposed Standard in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123; that is, an entity would recognize employee compensation cost in the amounts reported in the pro-forma disclosures provided in accordance with SFAS No. 123. A company would not be permitted to make any changes to those amounts upon adoption of the proposed Statement unless those changes represent a correction of an error (and are disclosed accordingly.). For the periods after the date of adoption of the proposed Standard, the modified prospective transition method described above would be applied. The FASB expects to issue the final standard by December 31, 2004. The Company continues to evaluate the impact the final standard will have on the Company's results of operations and financial statements.

In April 2004, the EITF reached consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-6, "Participating Securities and the Two Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128" ("EITF 03-6"). EITF 03-6 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in the dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. EITF 03-6 also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-6 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004 and requires retroactive restatement of prior earning per share amounts. The adoption of Issue No. 03-6 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements and results of operations.

(3)    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

Effective November 17, 2003, TeamStaff sold certain of the assets of the subsidiaries through which it operated its professional employer organization ("PEO") business to Gevity HR, Inc. ("Gevity") for the sum of $9.5 million in cash, $2.5 million of which had been placed in escrow. Under the terms of the asset sale, the escrowed payment was scheduled to be determined approximately 90 days from the November 17, 2003, closing, but was subject to downward adjustment based on any reduction in annualized administrative fees payable by the former TeamStaff PEO clients. Any such downward

F-14




adjustment could be offset by annualized administrative fees of certain clients produced by former TeamStaff sales representatives during the 90-day period. The assets sold consisted primarily of client contracts, marketing agreements and internally developed software for use in reconciling certain benefit provider monthly invoices. As part of the transaction, Gevity agreed, among other things, to hire certain former TeamStaff employees assigned to the PEO division and assume certain of TeamStaff's lease obligations. Further, TeamStaff agreed to a non-competition agreement which prohibits us from engaging in the PEO business for a period of five years.

As of September 30, 2003, TeamStaff met the criteria for reporting the pending sale of the PEO division as an asset held for sale and discontinued operations per SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," and has accounted for the discontinued operation as such within the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K filing.

On April 23, 2004, TeamStaff and Gevity agreed that TeamStaff's share of the $2.5 million placed in escrow was $2.25 million. That amount was released from escrow for TeamStaff's benefit. When added to the $7.0 million previously paid by Gevity, the total purchase price paid was $9.25 million. Concurrently, TeamStaff settled obligations to Gevity of $1.2 million related to payroll for TeamStaff's internal employees under a co-employment arrangement, and settled obligations predominantly related to PEO client payments received by TeamStaff during the period following the sale, offset in part by invoices paid by TeamStaff on Gevity's behalf, totaling $1.1 million.

Additionally, effective May 2, 2004, TeamStaff sold certain of the assets of TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., the subsidiary through which it operated its temporary technical staffing business, to Metro Tech Consulting Services, Inc. for the sum of $65,000.

The following chart details assets and liabilities from discontinued operations:

(4)    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Private Placement Offering

TeamStaff entered into Securities Purchase Agreements as of November 5, 2004, with several accredited investors for the private sale, under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D, of securities for an aggregate purchase price of $4,305,600. The offering consisted of the sale of 2,392,000 shares of Common Stock and 598,000 common stock warrants. The investors in the transaction received one three-year warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share for every four shares of common stock purchased in the transaction.

Closing of the offering occurred on Wednesday, November 10, 2004. TeamStaff received net proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 after payment of commissions and related offering expenses. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets and Maxim Group LLC served as selling agents on TeamStaff's behalf and received combined commissions of 6.5% of the gross proceeds. The net proceeds will be used principally to fund the Company's internal growth initiatives and to execute on its strategy of completing complementary acquisitions in the temporary medical staffing industry.

The private placement was made only to accredited investors in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The shares of common stock and warrants issued are restricted securities and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. On November 12, 2004, TeamStaff filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing for the resale by the investors of the securities sold in the offering. The Securities and Exchange Commission has not yet declared the Registration Statement effective.

Acquisition of Certain Assets of Nursing Innovations, Inc.

On November 14, 2004, TeamStaff's medical staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, Inc., completed the purchase of certain of the assets of Nursing Innovations, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based provider of travel and per diem nurses and its affiliate, Vitriarc, Inc., which is engaged in permanent medical staffing. Nursing Innovations had offices in Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana, which have become TeamStaff offices servicing the medical staffing division. TeamStaff Rx also acquired the goodwill of Nursing Innovations' principal shareholder, William L. Booth, related to the business. The combined purchase price was approximately $1.8 million, of which $180,000 will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year following closing to provide security for the sellers' indemnification obligations. The purchase price is subject to downward adjustment based on the percentage of former Nursing Innovations business that successfully transfers to TeamStaff Rx. Additionally, TeamStaff entered into a two-year employment agreement with Mr. Booth pursuant to which Mr. Booth will oversee TeamStaff Rx's temporary nurse staffing business at an initial base salary of $100,000, increasing to $125,000 in the second year of the agreement's term. There are also certain deferred purchase price provisions which may increase the total purchase price based upon on the performance of the former Nursing Innovations business during the two years following closing of the transaction.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date of November 14, 2004:

(5)    INCOME TAXES:

At September 30, 2004, TeamStaff has available operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32.5 million to reduce future periods' taxable income. Approximately $21.0 million of the operating loss carryforwards were acquired in connection with the acquisition of BrightLane on August 31, 2001. The BrightLane carryforwards extend through 2021. TeamStaff also has tax credits available of approximately $1.1 million to reduce future taxable income that begin to expire in 2020. In accordance with IRS regulations, the utilization of operating losses acquired from BrightLane are limited to approximately $2.1 million per year.

TeamStaff has recorded a $16.8 million and a $14.9 million deferred tax asset at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents management's estimate of the income tax benefits to be realized upon utilization of its net operating losses and tax credits as well as temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities, for which management believes utilization to be more likely than not. In fiscal 2003 and 2002, TeamStaff reduced its tax provision by $0.3 million and $0.2 million respectively for certain tax credits which were previously available to TeamStaff. These tax credits were no longer available to TeamStaff as a result of the sale of the PEO division.

The tax benefits associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options reduce taxes currently payable by $1.5 million for 2002. Such benefits are credited to additional paid-in capital.

(6)    DEBT:

On April 9, 2002, TeamStaff entered into a revolving loan facility with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet"). The total outstanding loan amount could not exceed at any one time the lesser of $7.0 million or the sum of 85% of qualified accounts receivable, less an amount reserved by Fleet to support direct debit processing exposure. The annual interest rate was either the Fleet prime rate or LIBOR, at the discretion of TeamStaff. The facility was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of TeamStaff, including its accounts receivable. The facility was subject to certain covenants including, but not limited to, interest rate coverage of 2.0 to 1.0, total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio of 2.0 to 1.0, and minimum working capital of $10.0 million.

F-18




Effective March 21, 2003, the Company and Fleet agreed to a renewal of the revolving loan facility, which expired on March 31, 2004. The terms of the facility were substantially as described above, except that the total outstanding loan amount at any one time could not exceed the lesser of $6.0 million or the sum of 85% of the qualified accounts receivable less an amount reserved by Fleet. TeamStaff used this loan agreement as collateral for a letter of credit in the amount of $3.5 million issued with respect to TeamStaff's workers' compensation program with Zurich effective April 1, 2003 described in Note 8. In connection with the sale of certain PEO assets to Gevity HR, Inc., TeamStaff was required to obtain the consent of Fleet to the transaction. As part of its agreement to the sale of PEO assets (which served as collateral for the loan) Fleet required that TeamStaff provide substitution collateral in the form of a $3.5 million cash deposit at Fleet. The revolving loan facility and the letter of credit expired on March 31, 2004. As a result, the $3.5 million cash deposit was released by Fleet.

Effective March 31, 2004, Zurich reduced the amount of the letter of credit collateralization requirement for the workers' compensation program to $1.8 million. TeamStaff has secured a letter of credit in that amount from SunTrust Bank. The letter of credit is collateralized by a certificate of deposit for $1.8 million deposited at SunTrust.

Rent expense net of sublease income, under all operating leases in fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, was $2.6 million, of which $0.8 million was continuing operations, $0.2 million was discontinued operations, and $1.6 million was disposal. Rent expense was $1.9 million in 2003, and $1.8 million in 2002.

The PEO office space located in Boca Raton, Florida has been subleased by GevityHR, Inc for a remaining lease term as of September 30, 2004, of 33 months for $0.5 million. The PEO office space located in Clearwater, Florida has been subleased by Mercury Insurance group for the remaining lease term as of September 30, 2004, of 11 months for $0.1 million.

Workers' Compensation Policy-

TeamStaff's current workers' compensation insurance provider is Zurich American Insurance Company. The program is managed by Cedar Hill Insurance Agency, Inc., whose duties include underwriting analysis, loss control services, and other program management services.

The Zurich program originally covered the period from March 22, 2002 through March 31, 2003, inclusive. On March 28, 2003, TeamStaff renewed its workers' compensation program with Zurich for the period from April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004, inclusive. (See Note 3) The renewal program contained a large deductible feature of $0.5 million for each claim, with a maximum liability cap of the greater of 104.41% of manual premium or $15.6 million. The premium for the program was paid monthly based upon estimated payroll for the year and is subject to a policy year-end audit. The renewal program was collateralized by a letter of credit inuring to the benefit of Zurich, and cash held in a trust account with a third party. A letter of credit for $3.5 million was secured through Fleet, as part of TeamStaff's line of credit. However, effective March 31, 2004, Zurich agreed to a reduction in the amount of the letter of credit to $1.8 million. As a result, on March 31, 2004, TeamStaff secured a new letter of credit in the amount of $1.8 million with SunTrust Bank. Payments were made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the year. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. Assets in the trust may be adjusted from time to time based on program experience. Claims handling services for the program are provided by GAB Robins, a third party administrator. On May 12, 2004, TeamStaff received approximately $1.0 million in return premiums from Zurich. At September 30, 2004, TeamStaff has a prepaid asset of $4.3 million, for the premiums and the prepayments made to the trust for both years of the Zurich plan. TeamStaff believes that, of this amount, an additional $1.0 million in return premiums will be received within the next twelve months, and this is reflected on the balance sheet at September 30, 2004 as a current asset.

In conjunction with the sale of its PEO assets to Gevity, TeamStaff requested a pro rata cancellation of this policy effective as of November 17, 2003. TeamStaff entered into a new workers' compensation program with Zurich covering TeamStaff's temporary employees and, as of January 1, 2004, its corporate employees. The program is managed by Cedar Hill and claims handling services for the program are provided by GAB Robins. This program is a fully-insured, guaranteed cost program that contains no deductible or retention feature. This policy terminated April 1, 2004. Effective April 1, 2004, TeamStaff entered into a new workers' compensation program with Zurich, covering the period from April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, with the same terms as the previous policy.

As of September 30, 2004, the adequacy of the workers' compensation reserves was determined, in management's opinion, to be reasonable. In determining our reserves we rely in part upon information regarding loss data received from our workers' compensation insurance carriers which may include

F-20




loss data for claims incurred during prior policy periods. TeamStaff has encountered difficulties in receiving timely reporting of claims from CNA for the workers' compensation programs covering January 22, 2001, through March 22, 2002. CNA claims that TeamStaff owes approximately $4.4 million under the programs. TeamStaff is disputing certain of the amounts that CNA claims is due. TeamStaff's own analysis of its ultimate financial liability under the programs yields a substantially lower amount due under the programs. TeamStaff not only believes that its ultimate program expenses are dramatically lower than those calculated by CNA, but TeamStaff believes that its program expenses were exacerbated by CNA's claims handling practices. TeamStaff also filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Insurance, which referred the matter to the New Jersey Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau. Although the New Jersey Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau investigated the complaint and proposed a fine against CNA as well as a refund of $0.2 million in policy issuance costs to TeamStaff, the matter remains unresolved between the parties. In the future, similar problems from our insurance carriers may result in adjustments to our reserves. In addition, these reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed due to their relatively young age, and such variables as timing of payments and investment returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, actual results may vary from current estimates. TeamStaff will continue to monitor the development of these reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of these payments, the interest accumulated in TeamStaff's prepayments and adjust the reserves as deemed appropriate.

Payroll Taxes

TeamStaff has received notices from the IRS concerning misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities, which if not resolved favorably, may result in interest and penalties. To date, TeamStaff has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had some interest and penalties abated. TeamStaff believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, all significant interest and penalties will be abated.

Legal Proceedings

In July 2000, TeamStaff made claims for indemnification against the selling shareholders of the TeamStaff Companies (the Sellers), which were acquired by TeamStaff in January 1999. The claims consisted of various potential liabilities and expenses incurred based on breaches of representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement. The Sellers disputed these claims and attempted to assert claims of their own. On January 12, 2001, TeamStaff entered into a settlement agreement with the Sellers. Under the settlement agreement, the Sellers agreed to be liable and responsible for certain potential liabilities estimated at approximately $0.5 million and agreed that 55,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock, which had been held in escrow since the acquisition, were to be cancelled and TeamStaff agreed to release 29,915 escrow shares to the Sellers. TeamStaff retains 75,000 shares in escrow to provide security for the Seller's obligations. Each party agreed to release each other from all other claims under the acquisition agreements. No third parties have contacted TeamStaff seeking payment in the last fiscal year for these potential liabilities. In the event that TeamStaff incurs liability to third parties with respect to the claims, TeamStaff would declare an event of default under the settlement agreement and seek collection from the Sellers.

TeamStaff's subsidiary, BrightLane, is party to a suit brought by one of its former shareholders (Atomic Fusion, Inc. v. BrightLane.com, Inc. Civil Action No ONS02246OE, Fulton County State Court, Georgia). The plaintiff seeks damages for alleged unpaid contractual services provided to BrightLane, alleging that the shares (both in number and value) of BrightLane stock provided to the plaintiff in payment of services were inadequate to pay for the alleged agreed upon value of services. TeamStaff and BrightLane intend to defend themselves vigorously in this matter and believes that they have meritorious and valid defenses to plaintiff's claims. In addition, the former shareholders of BrightLane have placed approximately 158,000 shares in escrow to provide indemnification for any claims made by TeamStaff under the acquisition agreement, subject to a $0.3 million threshold. Some or all of these shares may be canceled in an amount equal to the amount of any claim or expense in excess of the threshold. Under the terms of the agreements between TeamStaff and BrightLane, the

F-21




value of the shares held in escrow is $8.10 per share. It is possible that an award in favor of Atomic Fusion would result in monetary damages against TeamStaff, which could not be recovered under the indemnification provisions because cancellation of the shares in escrow is the sole method of satisfying these indemnification obligations. On November 20, 2003, the Fulton County Superior Court (to which the action was transferred) awarded summary judgment in BrightLane's favor on all counts of Atomic Fusion's complaint except for a beach of contract claim. A trial was held on Atomic Fusion's breach of contract claim before a jury over four days, from August 16 through August 19, 2004. The jury returned a verdict in Atomic Fusion's favor, awarding $534,246 in damages and $116,849 in attorney's fees, for a total verdict of $651,095, including interest and costs. BrightLane has filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, which currently is pending before the court. BrightLane believes that the jury's award of damages and attorneys fees was not supported by Georgia law. BrightLane also has filed a motion to recover certain of its attorneys' fees expended in pursuing its motion for summary judgment. This motion also is pending before the court. Depending upon the outcome of these motions, BrightLane intends to appeal the jury's verdict on liability or damages or both.

In connection with TeamStaff's acquisition of BrightLane effective as of August 31, 2001, persons holding BrightLane options to acquire approximately 2.1 million BrightLane shares (the equivalent of approximately 481,000 TeamStaff shares) exercised their options. BrightLane made recourse loans of approximately $1.0 million principal amount to the holders of these options to assist them in payment of tax obligations incurred with exercise of the options. The loans were repayable upon the earlier of (i) sale of the TeamStaff shares or (ii) three years. As of September 30, 2004, approximately $0.7 million of these loans has been repaid or forgiven. All loans were to be repaid in cash with the exception of one loan. Under the terms of TeamStaff's employment agreement with an executive officer of TeamStaff's BrightLane subsidiary, the loan ($131,000) was forgiven over a two-year period of time. We are considering pursuing litigation against certain of the debtors to recover amounts due.

As a commercial enterprise and employer and with respect to its employment-related businesses in particular, TeamStaff is engaged in litigation from time to time during the ordinary course of business in connection with employment-relations issues, workers' compensation and other matters. Generally, TeamStaff is entitled to indemnification or repayment from its former PEO clients for claims brought by worksite employees related to their employment. However, there can be no assurance that the client employer will have funds or insurance in amounts to cover any damages or awards, and as co-employer, TeamStaff may be subject to liability. Additionally, in connection with its medical staffing business, TeamStaff is exposed to potential liability for the acts, errors or omissions of its temporary medical employees. Although TeamStaff believes it has procured insurance that is reasonable under the circumstances to protect it from liability for any such claims of liability, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all potential claims.

TeamStaff is engaged in no other litigation, the effect of which would be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on TeamStaff's financial conditions or results of operations.

Employment Agreements

Effective as of June 18, 2003, TeamStaff entered into an employment agreement with T. Kent Smith pursuant to which Mr. Smith serves as TeamStaff's President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement expires on September 30, 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Smith is paid an annual base salary of $250,000 and is eligible to receive a bonus of up to 50% of his base salary based on the achievement of revenue, income and other objectives established by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Smith also was granted an option to purchase 400,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock, one-fourth of which vested on June 18, 2003, one-fourth of which vested one year thereafter, and the remainder of which will vest on June 18, 2005. Mr. Smith also receives four weeks annual vacation and is offered welfare benefit plans, 401(k) and fringe benefits generally made available to other TeamStaff employees. The agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. Smith will be paid a severance payment of three months of his base salary if Mr. Smith and TeamStaff do not enter into a new employment agreement by September 30, 2005. Additionally, the agreement provides for certain post-termination payments depending upon the

F-22




reason for the termination of Mr. Smith's employment. The agreement also provides for the payment of nine months of base salary and the provision of certain other benefits should Mr. Smith's employment terminate in connection with a change in control, as defined in the agreement.

Effective January 1, 2003, TeamStaff entered into a one-year employment agreement with Edmund C. Kenealy pursuant to which Mr. Kenealy served as Vice President, General Counsel, at an annual salary of $160,000. In addition, Mr. Kenealy was entitled to receive an increase in annual compensation as of October 1, 2003 and a bonus to be determined based on the achievement of certain performance criteria determined as of the commencement of each fiscal year. Mr. Kenealy received certain other benefits granted to other TeamStaff employees, including health and other insurance benefits, as well as a car allowance of $500 per month and three weeks annual vacation. This agreement was not renewed by TeamStaff. However, the Board of Directors approved TeamStaff's entry into a severance agreement with Mr. Kenealy effective as of January 1, 2004, providing him with six months severance should his employment terminate other than for "cause," as defined in the agreement. The Board of Directors approved substantially identical severance agreements with Rick J. Filippelli and Timothy Nieman, our Chief Financial Officer and President of TeamStaff Rx, respectively, also effective as of January 1, 2004.

TeamStaff entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Donald Kappauf, TeamStaff's former President and Chief Executive Officer effective April 2, 2001 and terminating on September 30, 2003. Mr. Kappauf agreed to relinquish his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of TeamStaff as of June 18, 2003. Mr. Kappauf terminated his employment effective as of September 30, 2003. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Kappauf's base compensation was initially $230,000, increasing to $300,000 commencing September 1, 2001, and subject to yearly increases thereafter at the discretion of the compensation committee. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, Mr. Kappauf received a base salary of $300,000. Mr. Kappauf also was entitled to an annual bonus based on the achievement of certain performance criteria as determined by the compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Kappauf received certain other benefits including insurance benefits as are provided to all other executives, a car lease allowance in the maximum amount of $1,000 per month, participation in the supplemental executive retirement plan and a split dollar life insurance arrangement. The agreement also provided for the grant of 300,000 stock options, which vested in annual increments of one third commencing on the date of the agreement. TeamStaff also entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Kappauf, as described below, which governed the termination of his employment and certain other events including a change of control of TeamStaff.

TeamStaff entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Donald Kelly, TeamStaff's former Chief Financial Officer, effective April 2, 2001 and terminating on September 30, 2003. In June 2003, Mr. Kelly notified TeamStaff that he would be terminating his employment on July 2, 2003 purportedly for "good reason," as defined in his severance agreement, as described below. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Kelly's base compensation was initially $170,000, increasing to $200,000 commencing September 1, 2001, and subject to yearly increases thereafter at the discretion of the compensation committee. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, Mr. Kelly received a base salary of $200,000. Mr. Kelly also was entitled to a bonus based on the achievement of certain performance criteria as determined by the compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Kelly received certain other benefits including insurance benefits as are provided to all other executives, a car allowance in the amount of $800 per month, participation in the supplemental executive retirement plan and a split dollar life insurance arrangement. The agreement also provided for the grant of 150,000 stock options, which vested in annual increments of one third commencing on the date of the agreement. TeamStaff also entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Kelly, as described below, which governed the termination of his employment and certain other events including a change of control of TeamStaff.

The split dollar life insurance agreements and supplemental retirement plan were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board during the 2000 fiscal year and implemented effective October 1, 2000. Under the terms of the SERP, a participant receives a benefit sufficient to provide lump sum annual payments equal to approximately one-third of the participant's base salary on the date the participant becomes a participant. Payment of benefits commences when the participant reaches 65

F-23




years of age. The benefit under the SERP is subject to a seven-year vesting schedule (0%, 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%), based on the participant's original date of employment with TeamStaff and contingent on the participant's reaching age 55; provided, however, a participant's benefit becomes fully vested upon a change of control, as defined in the SERP, if within two years of the change of control there is a material change in the participant's job title or responsibilities or if the participant's employment is terminated by TeamStaff for any reason other than conviction for theft or embezzlement from TeamStaff. Additionally, if a participant retires by means of total disability (as defined in the SERP), the participant's benefit becomes fully vested and benefit payments commence as of the disability retirement date. The SERP does not provide a death benefit. Mr. Kappauf and Mr. Kelly were the only SERP participants.

SERP participants also were provided with a split dollar life insurance policy, insuring the life of the participant until the participant reached age 65. Although the participant was the owner of the Policy, TeamStaff paid all Policy premiums. Each participant had collaterally assigned the Policy to TeamStaff to secure repayment of the premiums through either its cash surrender value or the Policy proceeds. The participant's right to the Policy vested in accordance with the same schedule as the SERP and with similar change of control provisions. Upon the participant's 65th birthday (and in certain other circumstances provided by the Policy agreement), TeamStaff would release the collateral assignment of the Policy provided the participant released TeamStaff from all obligations it may have with respect to the participant (including those under the SERP). However, given the uncertainty of TeamStaff's ability to continue to maintain this payment arrangement in light of certain of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, TeamStaff had, with the President and Chief Executive Officer's consent, deferred paying Policy premiums on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer, pending review of the SERP to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. For the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2002, TeamStaff paid the Chief Executive Officer a bonus in the amount of the Policy premiums, grossed-up to cover allocable income taxes. Pursuant to the severance agreement with Mr. Kappauf, in the event he were terminated for cause, he would be entitled only to his accrued compensation, which means his base salary, reimbursement of business expenses, vacation pay and earned but unpaid bonuses to the date of termination. "Cause" is defined to include conviction of a felony, an intentional and continual failure to substantially perform his duties or an intentional failure to follow or perform a lawful direction of the Board of Directors. If Mr. Kappauf were terminated for disability or death, he would be entitled to his accrued compensation and certain other payments, such as the pro rata bonus amount. The pro rata bonus amount is defined as the amount equal to the greater of the most recent annual bonus amount paid or the annual bonus paid or payable for the full fiscal year ended prior to the termination, in either case pro-rated through the date of death or disability. In the event that Mr. Kappauf's employment terminated for any otherreason, the agreement provided for payment of his accrued compensation, a pro rata bonus amount, a bonus amount allocated to the remainder of the term of his employment agreement, his base salary through the remainder of the term of his employment agreement, a severance payment equal to one year's base compensation, a payment equal to the cost of health and other similar benefits for a period of two years and costs associated with outplacement services.

On June 18, 2003, Donald W. Kappauf relinquished his positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of TeamStaff. In light of the circumstances regarding the relinquishment by Mr. Kappauf of his positions, Mr. Kappauf may have had reason to terminate his employment with TeamStaff for "good reason" and exercise his rights under the severance agreement. The term good reason includes "a change in the [e]xecutive's status, title, position or responsibilities . . . ." In addition, TeamStaff may have been required to contribute funds to an irrevocable trust to meet the premium obligations of the split dollar life insurance policy granted to Mr. Kappauf in connection with the SERP.

The severance agreement with Mr. Kelly had terms which are substantially similar to those described above for Mr. Kappauf. Until December 10, 2002, Mr. Kelly held the positions of Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Finance and Secretary of TeamStaff. As a result of the previously disclosed change in his duties, the former Chief Financial Officer may have had "good reason" to terminate his employment with TeamStaff and may have had claims for the severance payments and benefits provided by the severance agreement. The term good reason includes "a change in the [e]xecutive's

F-24




status, title, position or responsibilities . . . ." In June 2003, Mr. Kelly notified the Board of Directors that he would terminate his employment, effective July1, 2003, for "good reason" and exercise his rights under the severance agreement. Additionally, the change in Mr. Kelly's duties may have caused his benefits under the SERP to become fully vested.

In connection with the change in their employment status, TeamStaff engaged in negotiations with its former President and Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer regarding the payment of certain severance benefits and the satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations to each of them under the SERP and the split dollar life insurance arrangements. On December 31, 2003, TeamStaff executed an agreement with its former President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which TeamStaff agreed to, among other things, release the collateral assignment of the split dollar life insurance policy as of December 31, 2003 and to accelerate the payment of certain agreed upon payments under the SERP in complete satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations under the SERP. TeamStaff entered into a similar agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer effective as of December 30, 2003. That agreement also provided for the payment of severance and other benefits over time in satisfaction of TeamStaff's obligations to its former Chief Financial Officer under his severance agreement effective May 22, 2002.

Related Party Transactions

TeamStaff entered into a one year, renewable marketing agreement with Directo, Inc. effective as of February 1, 2004. Directo provides financial and direct deposit services to companies and their employees. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, TeamStaff is compensated based on its sales of Directo pay card services. TeamStaff offers these services primarily through its payroll services division. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff has not earned any commissions from its sales of Directo's services. T. Stephen Johnson, TeamStaff's Chairman, is also Chairman of Directo. TeamStaff's entry into the marketing agreement with Directo was approved by the disinterested members of the Board.

During the year ended September 30, 2004, the company shared a portion of its leased office space in Alpharetta, Georgia with an affiliated entity of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, T. Stephen Johnson & Associates, Inc. As part of the agreement, TeamStaff shared the cost of a receptionist, phone service, and leased common area furniture. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff paid $28,000 in shared costs. TeamStaff was responsible for payment of the monthly lease obligation and T. Stephen Johnson & Associates reimbursed TeamStaff in the amount of $34,000 in fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 for their prorated portion of the space. We no longer use these facilities.

Stock Option Plans -

The 1990 Employees Stock Option Plan (the "1990 Plan") provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 285,714 shares of TeamStaff's common stock. Under the terms of the 1990 Plan, options granted thereunder may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment ("ISOs") under Section 422A of the Code, or options which do not so qualify ("Non-ISO's").

The 1990 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") provided for issuance of a maximum of 142,857 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options arising under the Director Plan.

The 1990 Senior Management Incentive Plan (the "Management Plan") provided for the issuance of stock, options and other stock purchase rights to executive officers and other key employees and consultants who render significant services to TeamStaff and its subsidiaries. A total of 1,428,571 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Management Plan.

The forgoing plans have expired and options are no longer being granted under these plans.

2000 Employee Stock Option Plan

During 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved the adoption of the 2000 Employees Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") to provide for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,714,286 shares of TeamStaff's common stock to all employees, including senior management. The 2000 Plan replaces the 1990 Employee Plan and Senior Management Plans, both of which expired. Under the terms of the 2000 Plan, options granted thereunder may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment ("ISOs") under Section 422A of the Code, or options which do not so qualify ("Non-ISO's"). As of September 30, 2004, there were 1,069,000 options outstanding under the 2000 Plan.

The 2000 Plan is administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee designated by the Board of Directors. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the eligible employees to whom, and the times and the price at which, options will be granted; whether such options shall be ISOs or Non-ISOs, subject to applicable law; the periods during which each option will be exercisable; and the number of shares subject to each option. The Committee has full authority to interpret the 2000 Plan and to establish and amend rules and regulations relating thereto.

Under the 2000 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated as an ISO shall not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. However, in the event an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder, as defined, such exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value. Exercise prices of Non-ISO options may be less than such fair market value.

The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant, which are designated as ISOs and which become exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant bonuses or authorize loans to or guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay the exercise price or any taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an option. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee can also permit the payment of the exercise price in the common stock of the Corporation held by the optionee for at least six months prior to exercise.

Non-Executive Director Plan

In fiscal 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2000 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") to provide for the grant of options

F-26




to non-employee directors of TeamStaff. Under the terms of the Director Plan, each non-executive director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares upon joining the Board and each September lst, pro rata, based on the time the director has served in such capacity during the previous year. The Directors' Plan also provides that directors, upon joining the Board, and for one (1) year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from TeamStaff at a price equal to 80% of the closing bid price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The Director Plan replaced the previous Director Plan that expired in April 2000. As of September 30, 2004, there were 100,000 options held by directors outstanding under the Director Plan.

Under the Director Plan, the exercise price for options granted under the Director Plan shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Until otherwise provided, the exercise price of options granted under the Director Plan must be paid at the time of exercise, either in cash, by delivery of shares of common stock of TeamStaff or by a combination of each. The term of each option commences on the date it is granted and unless terminated sooner as provided in the Director Plan, expires five (5) years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has no discretion to determine which non-executive director will receive options or the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the exercisability of the option. However, the Committee will make all determinations of the interpretation of the Director Plan. Options granted under the Director Plan are not qualified for incentive stock option treatment.

(10)    SEGMENT REPORTING:

As a part of continuing operations, TeamStaff operates two different lines of business: medical staffing and payroll services.

TeamStaff currently provides temporary and permanent staffing for allied healthcare professionals and nurses with hospitals, clinics and therapy centers. Medical staffing enables clients to attain management and productivity goals by matching highly trained professionals and technical personnel to specific project requirements.

Through its Payroll Services business segment, TeamStaff provides basic payroll services to its clients, approximately 75% of which are in the construction industry. Services provided include the preparation of payroll checks, filing of payroll taxes, government reports, W-2's, remote processing directly to the client's offices and certified payrolls.

All corporate expenses, amortization of goodwill (until October 1, 2001), interest expense, as well as depreciation on corporate assets and miscellaneous charges, are reflected in a separate unit called Corporate.

TeamStaff changed its segment reporting as of October 1, 2002. As of that date, TeamStaff's voucher processing service business was managed and reported in the Payroll Services group. TeamStaff discontinued its voucher processing service business as of April 30, 2003. BrightLane costs have been allocated to Corporate since BrightLane provides information technology services to the entire company. Prior year figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. TeamStaff evaluates the performance of its business lines based on pre-tax income.

(12)    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, TeamStaff maintained four defined contribution pension plans for the benefit of its non-worksite and former worksite employees. The Digital Solutions, Inc. and Affiliated Corporations 401(k) Savings Plan, was "frozen" by TeamStaff as of January 1, 1999, and terminated effective as of December 31, 2002 in accordance with the provisions of Rev. Proc. 2002-21, providing a method for the termination of single employer plans maintained by professional employer organizations. No deferrals or other contributions currently are made to that plan. All assets of the frozen plan were transferred to the Digital Solutions, Inc. & Affiliated Corporations Spinoff 401(k) Savings Plan, which became effective as of August 1, 2003, in accordance with the provisions of Rev. Proc. 2002-21. The spinoff plan was terminated as of December 31, 2003 and all assets that were not otherwise transferred to former PEO client plans will be distributed to participants.

F-30




TeamStaff also maintained The TeamStaff Retirement Savings Plan. This plan was assumed by Gevity HR, Inc., effective as of November 17, 2003, as part of Gevity's purchase of the PEO operating segment. This plan was designed to qualify as a multiple employer plan as described in Section 413(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and TeamStaff was an adopting employer under that plan. As of January 1, 2004, TeamStaff adopted the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan for the benefit of its internal and temporary staffing employees and all assets attributable to TeamStaff's internal and staffing employees under the plan assumed by Gevity were ultimately transferred to the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan. Because plan participants have their own account, manage their own plan investments and make their own investment decisions from a broad range of investment options, TeamStaff believes that it is afforded protection from liability for participants' investment decisions under Section 404(c) of the Code under the prior plan assumed by Gevity and the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan. Any TeamStaff corporate employee (including its medical temporary staffing employees), is eligible for participation in the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan upon completing three months of service with TeamStaff. TeamStaff provides a discretionary matching contribution of 25% of each of the first 4% of a participant's elective contributions under the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan and did so under the plan assumed by Gevity. TeamStaff recorded expense for this matching of $27,000 in fiscal 2004 and $67,000 in fiscal 2003. A participant is always fully vested in his elective contributions. A participant's interest in TeamStaff discretionary matching contributions vests in accordance with the following schedule:


Years of Service: Vested Interest:
Less than 1 Year of Service   0
1 Year, but less than 2 Years   25
2 Years, but less than 3 Years   50
3 Years, but less than 4 Years   75
4 Years or more   100

TeamStaff received favorable determination letters regarding the tax qualified status of the plan assumed by Gevity on June 25, 1999 and November 23, 2003. The frozen Digital Solutions plan was audited by independent auditors for the plan years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, in connection with their required From 5500 Annual Report filed with the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration for the plan year ended December 31, 2003. The spinoff plan did not require a plan audit in connection with the Form 5500 Annual Report filed with the PWBA for the plan year ended December 31, 2003. Gevity assumed responsibility for obtaining an audit of and filing the Form 5500 Annual Report for the TeamStaff plan assumed by Gevity. Because calendar year 2004 is the first plan year of the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan, a Form 5500 Annual Report and plan audit, if required, will not be due for the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan until calendar year 2005.

Effective October 1, 2000, TeamStaff adopted a non-qualified, supplemental retirement plan covering certain corporate officers of TeamStaff (the "SERP"). Under the terms of the SERP, a participant receives a benefit sufficient to provide lump sum annual payments equal to approximately one-third of the participant's base salary on the date the participant becomes a participant. Payment of benefits commences when the participant reaches 65 years of age. The benefit under the SERP is subject to a seven-year vesting schedule (0%,0%,20%,40%, 60%, 80%, 100%), based on the participant's original date of employment with TeamStaff and contingent on the participant's reaching age 55; provided, however, a participant's benefit becomes fully vested upon a change of control, as defined in the SERP, if within two years of the change of control there is a material change in the participant's job title or responsibilities or if the participant's employment is terminated by TeamStaff for any reason other than conviction for theft or embezzlement from TeamStaff. Additionally, if a participant retires by means of total disability (as defined in the SERP), the participant's benefit becomes fully vested and benefit payments commence as of the disability retirement date. The SERP does not provide a death benefit. TeamStaff's former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer were the only SERP participants.

SERP participants also are provided with a split dollar life insurance policy ("Policy"), insuring the life of the participant until the participant reaches age 65. Although the participant is the owner of the Policy, TeamStaff pays all Policy premiums. Each participant has collaterally assigned the Policy to

F-31




TeamStaff to secure repayment of the premiums through either its cash surrender value or the Policy proceeds. The participant's right to the Policy vests in accordance with the same schedule as the SERP and with similar change of control provisions. Upon the participant's 65th birthday (and in certain other circumstances provided by the Policy agreement), TeamStaff will release the collateral assignment of the Policy provided the participant releases TeamStaff from all obligations the Corporation may have with respect to the participant (including those under the SERP).

The following table illustrates TeamStaff's changes in benefit costs and pension benefit obligations for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 under the SERP.

For unfunded plans, contributions to the plan are the benefit payments made to participants. TeamStaff, Inc. made $776,000 in benefit payments during fiscal 2004. The following benefit payments are expected to be paid in future fiscal years:


Fiscal year ending Pension Benefits
2005 $ 588,325  
2006   294,285  
2007   209,695  
2008   209,695  
2009   70,590  
2010   70,590  
2011   70,590  
2012 and thereafter   0  

During fiscal 2004, TeamStaff, Inc. and plan participants agreed on optional payment forms effectively accelerating benefit payments. Beginning in fiscal 2004 and ending in fiscal 2011, this plan will settle liabilities by paying benefit obligations to participants. Each quarter, a settlement charge will be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 88 to account for settling of liabilities. During fiscal 2004, a settlement charge of $276,000 was recognized.

During fiscal 2003, two events were recognized as curtailments under SFAS No. 88. Donald Kelly was relieved of his duties as Chief Financial Officer. A curtailment charge related to this event of $254,000 was recognized during the second quarter. Donald Kappauf relinquished his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer. A curtailment charge related to this event of $445,000 was taken during the third quarter. TeamStaff is not aware of any other events that might constitute settlement or curtailment under SFAS No. 88. Total curtailment during fiscal 2003 was $699,000.
