Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

 

1. Basis of Presentation.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by MPS Group, Inc. (‘MPS’ or the ‘Company’) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its employee and director stock option plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB Opinion No. 25”), and related interpretations. The Company measures compensation expense for employee and director stock options as the aggregate difference between the fair value of its common stock and exercise prices of the options on the date that both the number of shares the grantee is entitled to receive and the exercise prices are known. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock grants is equal to the fair value of the shares on the date of grant and is recorded pro rata over the required holding period. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost for all outstanding options granted by the Company by applying the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘SFAS’) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, to stock-based employee compensation, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments—(“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

 

No. 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance date to the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and has not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting SFAS 123R, and the Company has not determined whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“FSP 109-2”). FSP 109-2 provides guidance under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FASB Statement No. 109”), with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) on enterprises’ income tax expense and deferred tax liability. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FASB Statement No. 109. Based upon the Company’s preliminary evaluation of the effects of the repatriation provision, the Company does not expect to apply this provision.

 

2. Net Income per Common Share

 

The calculation of basic net income per common share and diluted net income per common share is presented below:

Options to purchase 680,000 and 670,000 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares.
