PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING NOTES THERETO, APPEARING
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES,
REFERENCES IN THIS PROSPECTUS TO "VINCAM" AND THE "COMPANY" REFER TO THE
VINCAM GROUP, INC. AND ITS CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES.
THE COMPANY
The Vincam Group, Inc., one of the largest professional employer
organizations ("PEO") in the industry, provides small and medium-sized
businesses with an outsourcing solution to the complexities and costs related
to employment and human resources. The Company's continuum of integrated
employment-related services consists of human resource administration,
employment regulatory compliance management, workers' compensation coverage,
health care and other employee benefits. The Company establishes a
co-employer relationship with its clients and contractually assumes
substantial employer responsibilities with respect to worksite employees. The
Company believes its services assist business owners in: (i) managing
escalating costs associated with workers' compensation, health insurance
coverage, workplace safety programs, and employee-related litigation, (ii)
providing employees with competitive health care and related benefits that
are more characteristic of large employers, and (iii) reducing the time and
effort required by business owners and executives to deal with the
increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment affecting employment.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company provided professional employer services
to approximately 340 client organizations with nearly 11,400 employees,
primarily in Florida, Georgia and Michigan.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there were
approximately 5.1 million businesses in the United States with fewer than 500
employees in 1992. Collectively, these businesses employed an estimated 49
million employees and represented approximately $1.1 trillion in aggregate
annual payroll, implying a potential market size for PEO services of $1.3
trillion (assuming an average mark-up of approximately 20%). The PEO industry
began to evolve in the early 1980s largely in response to the burdens placed
on small to medium-sized employers by an increasingly complex legal and
regulatory environment. While various service providers, such as payroll
processing firms, benefits and safety consultants, and temporary services
firms are available to assist businesses with specific tasks, these
organizations do not typically provide a comprehensive range of services
relating to the employer/ employee relationship. PEOs address this market
void.
The PEO industry has experienced significant growth in recent years.
Industry sources estimate that gross revenues in the PEO industry grew from
$5.0 billion in 1991 to $13.8 billion in 1995, representing a compounded
annual growth rate of approximately 29%. The Company believes that the
increasing willingness of businesses to outsource non-core activities and
functions, the low market penetration of the PEO industry, and the growth in
the number of small businesses in the United States has contributed to the
growing demand for PEO services. The PEO industry is highly fragmented, with
approximately 1,100 PEOs in operation in 1995. The Company believes that
increasing industry regulatory complexity and the increasing capital
requirements associated with developing larger service delivery
infrastructures and management information systems should lead to significant
consolidation opportunities in the PEO industry.
The Company intends to further strengthen its position as an industry
leader by: (i) providing employers with comprehensive outsourcing solutions
to their human resource needs, (ii) targeting medium-sized businesses with 20
to 500 employees, (iii) aggressively managing health care and workers'
compensation costs through the development of vertically integrated managed
care systems, (iv) developing proprietary information systems to provide a
competitive advantage in managing costs and delivering a full range of high
quality services, (v) increasing penetration of existing markets by hiring
additional sales personnel and increasing sales productivity, and (vi)
acquiring established, quality PEOs in selected markets. In addition, the
Company intends to further capitalize on its managed care expertise by
offering certain specialty managed care services on a stand-alone basis to
health and workers' compensation insurance companies, health maintenance
organizations ("HMOs"), managed care providers and large self-insured
employers.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company is currently in the process of compiling preliminary financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and expects to report, for
that period, revenues of approximately $79.9 million, gross profit of
approximately $5.0 million and net income of approximately $593,000. These
results represent an increase from the comparable period in 1995 of $24.6
million in revenues (an increase of 44.5%), $1.8 million in gross profit (an
increase of 56.3%) and $271,000 in net income (an increase of 84.2%).

THE COMPANY
The Vincam Group, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in September 1984 as
"Human Power Resources, Inc.," and changed its name to "The Vincam Group,
Inc." in 1989. The Company's corporate headquarters are located at 2850
Douglas Road, Coral Gables, Florida 33134, and its telephone number is (305)
460-2350.
RISK FACTORS
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FACTORS SET FORTH
BELOW, AS WELL AS THE OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS, IN EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY.
POTENTIAL FOR UNFAVORABLE INTERPRETATION OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
The Company's operations are affected by numerous federal, state and local
laws relating to labor, tax, insurance and employment matters and the
provision of managed care services. By entering into an employment
relationship with employees who work at client company locations ("worksite
employees"), the Company assumes certain obligations and responsibilities of
an employer under these laws. Because many of the laws related to the
employment relationship were enacted prior to the development of alternative
employment arrangements, such as those provided by professional employer
organizations and other staffing businesses, many of these laws do not
specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of non-traditional
employers. Interpretive issues concerning such relationships have arisen and
remain unsettled. Uncertainties arising under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") include, but are not limited to, the qualified
tax status and favorable tax status of certain benefit plans provided by the
Company and other alternative employers. The unfavorable resolution of these
unsettled issues could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
In addition, there can be no assurance that existing laws and regulations
which are not currently applicable to the Company will not be interpreted
more broadly in the future so as to apply to the Company's existing
activities or that new laws and regulations will not be enacted with respect
to the Company's activities, either of which could have a material adverse
effect on the the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity. See "Industry Regulation."
While many states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, approximately one-third
of the states (including Florida) have passed laws that have licensing or
registration requirements for PEOs and several additional states, including
Georgia, are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state
but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs and
specify the employer responsibilities assumed by PEOs. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to comply with any such regulations
which may be imposed upon it in the future. See "Industry Regulation."
NEED FOR LICENSES AND CERTIFICATIONS
The managed health care industry is also subject to extensive state and
federal regulation. Certain of the Company's arrangements with respect to the
provision of specialty managed care services or the establishment of health
care provider networks require the Company to satisfy operating, licensing or
certification requirements, and further expansion of the range of specialty
managed care services offered by the Company is likely to subject the Company
to additional licensing and regulatory requirements. Together with a Florida
HMO, the Company has developed a provider network certified as a workers'
compensation managed care arrangement in Florida. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all required
licenses or certifications. See "Industry Regulation."
UNCERTAINTY OF IMPACT OF HEALTH CARE REFORM
Regulation in the health care and workers' compensation fields continues
to evolve, and the Company is unable to predict what additional government
regulations, if any, that affect its business
6
<PAGE>
may be adopted in the future. In addition, health care reform and/or specific
changes in laws or regulations may impact demand for the Company's services,
require the Company to develop new or modified services to meet the demands
of the marketplace or modify the fees that the Company may charge for its
services. See "Industry Regulation."
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPANSION INTO ADDITIONAL STATES
The Company operates primarily in Florida, Michigan and Georgia, with such
states accounting for approximately 80.8%, 14.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of
the Company's revenues for 1995. Future growth of the Company's operations
depends, in part, on its ability to offer its services to prospective clients
in additional states. In order to operate effectively in a new state, the
Company must obtain all necessary regulatory approvals, achieve acceptance in
the local market, adapt its procedures to that state's regulatory
requirements and local market conditions and establish internal controls that
enable it to conduct operations in several locations. The length of time
required to obtain regulatory approval to begin operations will vary from
state to state, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to satisfy licensing requirements or other applicable regulations of any
particular state in which it is not currently operating, that it will be able
to provide the full range of services currently offered in Florida, or that
it will be able to operate profitably within the regulatory environment of
any state in which it does obtain regulatory approval. The absence of
required licenses would require the Company to restrict the services it
offers. See "Industry Regulation." Moreover, as the Company expands into
additional states, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
duplicate in other markets the revenue growth and operating results
experienced in its Florida market.
GEOGRAPHIC MARKET CONCENTRATION
The Company's South Florida market (Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties)
accounted for approximately 77.1% of the Company's revenues for 1995. For the
foreseeable future, a significant portion of the Company's revenues will be
subject to economic factors specific to South Florida.
ADEQUACY OF RESERVES
The Company maintains large deductible workers' compensation insurance
policies, and participates in a minimum premium health insurance plan in
certain states and a partially self-insured health insurance program in
others. This results in the Company's payment of substantially all of the
workers' compensation claims and a portion of the medical claims of its
worksite employees. To the extent that the Company is not successful in
managing the severity and frequency of workers' compensation injuries and
medical claims, the costs incurred by the Company will increase and may have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity. The Company maintains reserves for workers'
compensation, medical and behavioral health claims based on periodic reviews
of open claims as well as past claims experience. While the Company believes
such reserves are adequate, the Company cannot predict with certainty the
ultimate liability associated with open claims and past claim experience may
not be indicative of future results. Accordingly, if estimated reserve
amounts prove to be less than the ultimate liability with respect to these
claims, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity could be materially adversely affected. See Notes 1 and 4 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
INCREASES IN HEALTH CARE COSTS
Health care costs, including the medical costs associated with workers'
compensation, and insurance premiums, are significant to the Company's
operating results. Accordingly, the Company employs extensive managed care
procedures in an attempt to control such health care costs. Health care
reform has recently been the subject of debate at both the federal and state
government levels, and laws and regulations relating to health care are
subject to change by action of the U.S. Congress, by various state
legislatures or both. If such reforms result in an increase in the Company's
health care costs, the Company's ability to incorporate such increases into
service fees to clients may be constrained by contractual arrangements with
clients, which may result in a delay before such increases can be reflected
in service fees. As a result, such increases could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity.
7
<PAGE>
QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
Historically, the Company's quarterly operating results have fluctuated
significantly as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of new
contracts and terminations, the effect of employment tax limits and delivery
of health care services, none of which can be predicted with any degree of
certainty.
DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company is dependent to a substantial extent upon the continuing
efforts and abilities of certain key management personnel, including Carlos
A. Saladrigas (the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer)
and Jose M. Sanchez (the Company's Vice Chairman and Area President--South
Florida). In addition, four of the Company's sales executives accounted for
approximately 70% of the Company's new PEO business booked during 1995.
However, the Company does not have employment agreements with any of its
executive officers or such sales executives. The loss of services of certain
of the Company's executive officers or sales executives could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CLIENTS
The Company is obligated to pay the wages and salaries of its worksite
employees regardless of whether the Company's clients pay the Company on a
timely basis or at all. To the extent that any client experiences financial
difficulty, or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations as they become
due, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity
could be materially adversely affected.
SHORT TERM NATURE OF PEO SERVICES AGREEMENTS
The Company's standard PEO services agreement provides for an initial
one-year term, subject to termination by the Company or the client at any
time during the first year upon 30 days' prior written notice, and thereafter
annually. A significant number of terminations could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity. See "Business--Clients."
RISK OF LOSS OF QUALIFIED STATUS FOR CERTAIN TAX PURPOSES
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is conducting a Market Segment Study
of the PEO industry, focusing on selected PEOs (not including Vincam), in
order to examine the relationships among PEOs, worksite employees and owners
of client companies. If the IRS concludes that PEOs are not "employers" of
certain worksite employees for purposes of the Code, the tax qualified status
of the Company's 401(k) plan could be revoked, its cafeteria plan may lose
its favorable tax status, and the Company may no longer be able to assume the
client company's federal employment tax withholding obligations. If the loss
of qualified tax status for the Company's 401(k) plan or cafeteria plan is
applied retroactively, employees' vested account balances would become
taxable immediately to the employees, the Company would lose its tax
deduction to the extent the contributions were not vested, the plan trust
would become a taxable trust and penalties could be assessed. In such a
scenario, the Company would face the risk of client dissatisfaction as well
as potential litigation, and its financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if the
Company is required to report and pay employment taxes for the separate
accounts of its clients rather than for its own account as a single employer,
the Company could incur increased administrative burdens. The Company is
unable to predict the timing or nature of the findings of the Market Segment
Study or the ultimate outcome of such findings. See "Industry Regulation."
FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH
The Company has experienced significant internal growth and intends to
pursue an acquisition strategy. This growth may place a significant strain on
the Company's management, financial, operating and technical resources. The
Company has limited acquisition experience, and there can be no assurance
that suitable acquisition candidates can be found, that the Company will have
or be able to obtain the necessary financing to consummate acquisitions, that
acquisitions can be consummated on favorable terms or that any acquired
companies can be successfully integrated into the Company's
8
<PAGE>
operations. There can be no assurance that management skills and systems
currently in place will be adequate to implement the Company's strategy and
the failure to manage growth effectively or to implement its strategy could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity.
LIABILITIES FOR CLIENT AND EMPLOYEE ACTIONS
A number of legal issues remain unresolved with respect to the
co-employment arrangements among PEOs, their clients and worksite employees,
including questions concerning the ultimate liability for violations of
employment and discrimination laws. The Company's standard client service
agreement establishes a contractual division of responsibilities between the
Company and each client for various human resource matters, including
compliance with and liability under various governmental regulations.
However, as a result of the Company's status as a co-employer, the Company
may be subject to liability for violations of these or other laws despite
these contractual provisions and even if it does not participate in such
violations. Although such client service agreements generally provide that
the client is to indemnify the Company for any liability attributable to the
client's failure to comply with its contractual obligations and the
requirements imposed by law, the Company may not be able to collect on such a
contractual indemnification claim and thus may be responsible for satisfying
such liabilities. In addition, worksite employees may be deemed to be agents
of the Company, subjecting the Company to liability for the actions of such
worksite employees. See "--Financial Condition of Clients,"
"Business--Clients" and "--Industry Regulation."
POTENTIAL LEGAL LIABILITY
The management and administration of the delivery of health care and other
services entails inherent risks of liability. The Company may, from time to
time, in the ordinary course of its business, be subject to various claims,
suits and complaints relating to the provision of medical care, including
those related to denial of benefits to worksite employees and negligence in
credentialing of providers. In addition, as an employer, the Company may also
be subject to a wide variety of employment-related claims such as claims for
injuries, wrongful death, harassment, discrimination, wage and hours
violations and other matters. See "Business--Legal Proceedings."
RISK OF INADEQUATE INSURANCE
Although the Company carries professional liability insurance, there can
be no assurance that any such insurance carried by the Company or its
providers will be sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs
relating to any present or future claims, suits or complaints or that
sufficient insurance will be available to the Company or such providers in
the future on satisfactory terms, if at all. If the insurance carried by the
Company or its providers is not sufficient to cover any judgments,
settlements or costs relating to any present or future claims, suits or
complaints, the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. See
"Business--Legal Proceedings."
COMPETITION
The PEO industry is highly fragmented, with approximately 1,100 companies
providing PEO services. The Company encounters competition from other PEOs
and from single-service and "fee for service" companies such as payroll
processing firms, insurance companies and human resource consultants. The
Company also competes directly with independent local and national entities
that offer managed behavioral health or workers' compensation services, as
well as with insurance carriers and other provider groups that have managed
care capabilities. In addition, the Company may encounter substantial
competition from new market entrants. Some of the Company's current and
future competitors may be significantly larger, have greater name recognition
and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
effectively against such competitors in the future. See
"Business--Competition."

MANAGEMENT DISCRETION REGARDING PROCEEDS OF THE OFFERING
The Company has not yet allocated a substantial portion of the net
proceeds of this offering to specific uses. Management will have broad
discretion as to the application of the offering proceeds. Pending the
Company's use of such proceeds for general corporate purposes and possible
acquisitions, such proceeds will be placed in short-term, interest-bearing,
investment-grade debt securities, certificates of deposit or direct or
guaranteed obligations of the United States. It is possible that the return
on such investments will be less than that which would be realized were the
Company immediately to use such funds for other purposes.
FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
As a result of this offering, each of Carlos A. Saladrigas and Jose M.
Sanchez will beneficially own Common Stock having an aggregate market value
(based on an assumed offering price of $14.00) of approximately $32 million.
In addition, $700,000 of the net proceeds of the offering will be used to
purchase an option to repurchase the Company's headquarters building which is
held by an affiliate of Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez, and, upon repayment
of the Company's $1.2 million subordinated promissory note, Messrs.
Saladrigas and Sanchez will be released from their personal guaranties of
such indebtedness. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Certain Transactions."
CONTROL BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS
After this offering, the Company's officers, directors and principal
shareholders will beneficially own an aggregate of 5,799,999 shares of Common
Stock of the Company, constituting approximately 72.5% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (68.4% if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full). Accordingly, such persons will be in a position to
control actions that require the consent of a majority of the Company's
outstanding voting stock, including the election of directors. See "Principal
and Selling Shareholders."
ABSENCE OF PRIOR TRADING MARKET
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. Although the Company has applied to have the Common Stock approved for
quotation on the Nasdaq National Market, there can be no assurance that an
active trading market will develop for the Common Stock or, if one does
develop, that it will be maintained. The initial public offering price of the
Common Stock will be negotiated between the Company and the representatives
of the Underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price of the
Common Stock after the offering. See "Underwriting."
POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
The market price of the shares of Common Stock could be highly volatile,
fluctuating in response to factors such as changes in the economy or the
financial markets, variations in the Company's operating results, failure to
achieve earnings consistent with analysts' estimates, announcements of new
services or market expansions by the Company or its competitors, and
developments relating to regulatory or other issues affecting the PEO or
managed care industry. In addition, the Nasdaq National Market generally, and
the health care sector in particular, have experienced and are likely in the
future to experience significant price and volume fluctuations which could
adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock without
regard to the Company's operating performance.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public market
following this offering could have an adverse effect on prevailing market
prices of the Common Stock. After this offering, the 2,200,000 shares offered
hereby will be freely tradeable without restriction, while approximately
3,738,750 additional shares of the Company's Common Stock will be eligible
for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), subject to certain volume and other limitations. In
addition, certain holders of Common Stock will have registration rights for
an aggregate of up to 5,547,503 shares of Common Stock. However, all of the
Company's existing security
10
<PAGE>
holders (who, upon the completion of this offering, will beneficially own an
aggregate of approximately 5,799,999 shares of Common Stock) have agreed with
the Underwriters not to sell any of their shares for a period of 180 days
from the date of this Prospectus without the prior consent of Smith Barney
Inc. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT
Certain Florida legislation applicable to the Company may deter or
frustrate takeovers of the Company. Certain provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company which will be in effect upon
consummation of this offering may also deter takeovers of the Company. In
addition, upon consummation of the offering made hereby, the Company will be
authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series, having terms fixed by the Board of Directors without shareholder
vote, including voting, dividend or liquidation rights that could be greater
than or senior to the rights of holders of Common Stock. Issuance of these
shares could also be used as an anti-takeover device. The Company has no
current intentions or plans to issue any such preferred stock. See
"Description of Capital Stock."
DILUTION
Purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby will experience immediate
and significant dilution of $10.66 per share in the net tangible book value of
their shares. See "Dilution."

<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock being offered by the Company hereby (assuming an offering price
of $14.00 per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions of $2.0 million, and estimated expenses of $700,000) are
estimated to be $25.3 million.
The Company intends to use approximately $1.2 million of the net proceeds
from this offering to retire the Company's subordinated promissory note
bearing interest at the U.S. Treasury bill rate as in effect from year to
year (7% at December 31, 1995) and the principal of which is payable in eight
equal quarterly installments beginning on March 31, 1998. The Company intends
to use $700,000 of the net proceeds from this offering to retire the
distribution payable related to the Company's repurchase of an option to
purchase the Company's headquarters previously held by an affiliate of
Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez. See "Certain Transactions."
The approximately $23.4 million of remaining net proceeds will be used for
working capital, general corporate purposes, and expansion of the Company's
operations including potential acquisitions. The Company does not, however,
currently have any understanding or arrangement regarding any potential
acquisition. Pending such uses, the Company intends to invest the net
proceeds of this offering in high-quality short-term, interest-bearing
investment-grade debt securities, certificates of deposit or direct or
guaranteed obligations of the United States.
Other than as described above, the Company has no current specific plan
for the use of the net proceeds of this offering. The principal reason for
conducting this offering is to enhance the Company's financial condition to
(i) permit the Company to promptly take advantage of favorable acquisition
opportunities, if any; (ii) increase its financial flexibility; and (iii)
obtain more favorable credit terms from the banks and insurance companies
with which it deals.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of
Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. See "Principal and Selling
Shareholders."
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future, but intends instead to retain any future earnings for
reinvestment in its business. Any future determination as to the payment of
dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company and will depend upon the Company's operating results, financial
condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and such other
factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, the Company's
credit agreement prohibits the Company from paying dividends or making other
distributions on the Common Stock. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

DILUTION
At December 31, 1995, the Company had a net tangible deficit of
($4,868,438) or ($0.98) per share. Net tangible deficit per share is
determined by dividing net tangible deficit (tangible assets less liabilities
and redeemable preferred stock) by the 4,956,066 currently outstanding shares
of Common Stock. The effect of the conversion of the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock upon the consummation of this offering represents an
increase in net tangible book value of $6,263,610 or $1.21 per share. After
giving effect to the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed
public offering price of $14.00 per share, without taking into account any
other deductions in net tangible book value after December 31, 1995, and
after deducting assumed underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,960,000
and estimated offering expenses of $700,000, the pro forma net tangible book
value per share of Common Stock would have been $3.34. This represents an
increase in net tangible book value of $3.11 per share of Common Stock to
existing shareholders attributable to new investors and an immediate dilution
of $10.66 (or 76.1%) per share of Common Stock to investors in the offering.
The following table illustrates this dilution per share:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Vincam, one of the largest PEOs in the industry, provides small and
medium-sized businesses with an outsourcing solution to the complexities and
costs related to employment and human resources. The Company's continuum of
integrated employment-related services consists of human resource
administration, employment regulatory compliance management, workers'
compensation coverage, health care and other employee benefits. The Company
establishes a co-employer relationship with its clients and contractually
assumes substantial employer responsibilities with respect to worksite
employees. In addition, the Company offers certain specialty managed care
services on a stand-alone basis to health and workers' compensation insurance
companies, HMOs, managed care providers and large, self-insured employers.
The Company is currently in the process of compiling preliminary financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and expects to report, for
that period, revenues of approximately $79.9 million, gross profit of
approximately $5.0 million and net income of approximately $593,000. These
results represent an increase from the comparable period in 1995 of $24.6
million in revenues (an increase of 44.5%), $1.8 million in gross profit (an
increase of 56.3%) and $271,000 in net income (an increase of 84.2%).
The Company's 1995 operating results were adversely affected by (i)
additional personnel costs of approximately $1.4 million which were primarily
related to the operation and management of Vincam's newly established
workers' compensation managed care arrangement ("WCMCA"), (ii) the loss of a
high margin contract with a significant behavioral managed care client
following that client's acquisition by a third party, which contract
accounted for $0.8 million of gross profit in 1994, and (iii) an investment
in corporate-level management infrastructure resulting in approximately $0.4
million of additional personnel costs.
The Company's WCMCA service agreements produced approximately $248,000 of
revenues in the month of January 1996, compared to a total of approximately
$570,000 for the full year 1995.
The Company's standard PEO services agreement provides for an initial one
year term, subject to termination by the Company or the client at any time
during the first year upon 30 days' prior written notice, and thereafter
annually. Revenues from professional employer services are based on a pricing
model that takes into account the gross pay of each employee and a mark-up
which includes the estimated costs of federal and state employment taxes,
workers' compensation, employee benefits and the human resource
administrative services, as well as a provision for profit. The specific
mark-up varies by client based on the workers' compensation classification of
the worksite employees and their eligibility for health care benefits.
Accordingly, the Company's average mark-up percentage will fluctuate based on
client mix, which cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Specialty
managed care revenues are generated from a variety of risk-bearing,
capitated, and fee-based arrangements.
The Company's revenues include all amounts billed to clients for gross
salaries and wages, related employment taxes, and health care and workers'
compensation coverage of worksite employees. The Company is obligated, as a
principal, to pay the gross salaries and wages, related employment taxes and
health care and workers' compensation costs of its worksite employees whether
or not the Company's clients pay the Company on a timely basis or at all. The
Company believes that including such amounts as revenues appropriately
reflects the responsibility which the Company bears for such amounts and is
consistent with industry practice.
The Company's primary direct costs are (i) salaries, wages, the employer's
portion of social security (FICA-O), Medicare premiums (FICA-M), federal
unemployment taxes (FUTA) and the Michigan Single Business Tax, (ii) health
care and workers' compensation costs, and (iii) state unemployment taxes and
other direct costs. The Company can significantly impact its gross profit
margin by actively managing the direct costs described in clauses (ii) and
(iii).
16
<PAGE>
Health care costs consist of medical insurance premiums, payments of and
reserves for claims subject to deductibles and the costs of vision care,
disability, employee assistance and other similar benefit plans. The
Company's health care benefit plans consist of a mixture of fully-insured,
minimum premium arrangements, partially self-insured plans and guaranteed
cost programs. Under minimum premium arrangements and partially self-insured
plans, liabilities for health care claims are recorded based on the Company's
health care loss history.
Workers' compensation costs include medical costs and indemnity payments
for lost wages, administrative costs and insurance premiums related to the
Company's workers' compensation coverage. Currently, the Company is insured
under a large deductible insurance plan. Under this plan, the Company is
obligated to reimburse its insurance carrier for a portion of the insurance
risk related to workers' compensation claims up to a predetermined deductible
per occurrence of $500,000. Workers' compensation costs also include reserves
for claims which have been incurred but not reported and for anticipated loss
development.
State unemployment taxes are based on rates which vary from state to
state. Generally they are subject to certain minimum rates, but the aggregate
rates payable by an employer are affected by the employer's claims history.
The Company controls unemployment claims by aggressively contesting unfounded
claims and, when possible, quickly returning employees to work by reassigning
them to other worksites.
The Company's primary operating expenses are administrative personnel
expenses, other general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing
expenses. Administrative personnel expenses include compensation, fringe
benefits and other personnel expenses related to internal administrative
employees. Other general and administrative expenses include rent, office
supplies and expenses, legal and accounting fees, insurance and other
operating expenses. Sales and marketing expenses include compensation of
sales executives and the marketing staff, as well as marketing and
advertising expenses.
The Company's profitability is largely dependent upon its success in
managing its controllable direct costs. The Company manages its controllable
direct costs through its use of (i) its proprietary managed care system,
which includes provider networks, utilization review and case management,
(ii) educational programs designed to reduce the severity and frequency of
workplace accidents, and (iii) a variety of other techniques, including
drug-free workplace programs, involvement in hiring, disciplinary and
termination decisions, adjudication of unemployment claims, and reassignment
of laid off workers.
Many of the federal and state laws and regulations relating to labor, tax
and employment matters applicable to employers were enacted prior to the
development of non-traditional employment relationships and, accordingly, do
not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of PEOs. The
IRS is conducting a Market Segment Study of the PEO industry, focusing on
selected PEOs (not including Vincam), in order to examine the relationships
among PEOs, worksite employees and owners of client companies. If the IRS
concludes that PEOs are not "employers" of certain worksite employees for
purposes of the Code, the tax qualified status of the Company's 401(k) plan
could be revoked, its cafeteria plan may lose its favorable tax status, and
the Company may no longer be able to assume the client company's federal
employment tax withholding obligations. If the loss of qualified tax status
for the Company's 401(k) plan or cafeteria plan is applied retroactively,
employees' vested account balances would become taxable immediately, the
Company would lose its tax deductions to the extent the contributions were
not vested, the plan trust would become a taxable trust and penalties could
be assessed. In such a scenario, the Company would face the risk of client
dissatisfaction as well as potential litigation, and its financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
The Company is unable to predict the timing or nature of the findings of the
Market Segment Study Group or the ultimate outcome of such conclusions or
findings. See "Industry Regulation" and "Risk Factors--Risk of Loss of
Qualified Status for Certain Tax Purposes."
The Company, among others, is currently a defendant in a wrongful death
suit filed by the wife and children of a deceased worksite employee. The
plaintiffs seek damages in excess of $10 million. Discovery in the proceeding
has been stayed pending the Court's determination of whether the plaintiffs
adequately stated a cause of action against the Company and the client
company which is a co-defendant. The Company believes that if the lawsuit is
adversely determined, the Company will be
17
<PAGE>
entitled to indemnification from the client or its general/umbrella liability
insurance carrier. While there can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome
of this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations, management believes, based on
consultations with the Company's counsel, that the outcome of this lawsuit
will not have such an effect. See "Business--Legal Proceedings."

</TABLE>
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
The Company's revenues were $239.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1995, compared to $191.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994,
representing an increase of $47.9 million, or 25.0%. This increase was due
primarily to an increased number of PEO clients and worksite employees.
Between December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1995, the number of PEO clients
increased 18.9%, from 285 to 339. The number of worksite employees increased
32.6% over the same period, from 8,590 worksite employees to 11,391. In
addition, the Company earned approximately $570,000 of revenues from its
workers' compensation managed care services in 1995, the first year such
services were offered.
Salaries, wages and employment taxes of worksite employees were $212.5
million for 1995, compared to $168.9 million for 1994, representing an
increase of $43.6 million, or 25.8%. Salaries, wages and employment taxes of
worksite employees were 88.8% of revenues for 1995, compared to 88.2% for
1994. Salaries, wages and employment taxes of worksite employees increased as
a percentage of revenues as a result of a change in the Company's client mix
towards clients having more favorable workers' compensation risk profiles
which allows the Company to charge a lower markup.
Health care and workers' compensation costs were $12.3 million for 1995,
compared to $10.3 million for 1994, representing an increase of $2.0 million,
or 19.2%. Health care and workers' compensation costs were 5.2% of revenues
for 1995, compared to 5.4% for 1994. This decrease was due primarily to
improved efficiency in managing the frequency and severity of workers'
compensation claims.
State unemployment taxes and other direct costs were relatively unchanged
from 1994 to 1995. State unemployment taxes and other direct costs were 0.7%
of revenues for 1995, compared to 0.8% for 1994. This decrease is due
primarily to improved efficiency in managing state unemployment insurance
claims.
18
<PAGE>
Gross profit was $12.9 million for 1995, compared to $10.7 million for
1994, representing an increase of $2.2 million, or 20.8%. Gross profit was
5.4% of revenues for 1995, compared to 5.6% for 1994. This decrease was due
primarily to the loss of a high margin contract with a significant behavioral
health client in the third quarter of 1994 as a result of that client's
acquisition by a third party. This contract represented approximately $0.8
million in gross profit during 1994.
Administrative personnel expenses were $6.3 million for 1995, compared to
$4.0 million for 1994, representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 56.8%. Of
this increase, approximately $1.4 million was primarily attributable to
increased staffing for the Company's workers' compensation managed care
services, which were made available to external clients for the first time in
1995. The balance was primarily attributable to an increase in corporate
management personnel and other general and administrative expenses related to
the growth described above. Administrative personnel expenses were 2.6% of
revenues for 1995, compared to 2.1% for 1994.
Other general and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for 1995,
compared to $2.4 million for 1994, representing an increase of $1.0 million,
or 41.5%. Other general and administrative expenses were 1.4% of revenues for
1995, compared to 1.2% for 1994.
Sales and marketing costs were $1.7 million for 1995, compared to $1.4
million for 1994, representing an increase of $0.3 million, or 25.3%, but as
a percentage of revenue remained at 0.7%. The increase reflects the addition
of sales executives and a senior vice president of sales and marketing.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
The Company's revenues were $191.5 million for 1994, compared to $138.1
million for 1993, representing an increase of $53.4 million, or 38.7%. This
increase was due primarily to an increased number of clients and worksite
employees in 1994. Between December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1994, the
number of PEO clients increased 19.2%, from 239 to 285. The number of
worksite employees increased 30.4% over the same period, from 6,587 worksite
employees to 8,590.
Salaries, wages, and employment taxes of worksite employees were $168.9
million for 1994, compared to $121.2 million for 1993, representing an
increase of $47.7 million, or 39.4%. Salaries, wages, and employment taxes of
worksite employees were 88.2% of revenues for 1994, compared to 87.7% for
1993. Salaries, wages and employment taxes of worksite employees increased as
a percentage of revenues as a result of a change in the Company's client mix
towards clients having more favorable workers' compensation risk profiles
which allows the Company to charge a lower markup.
Health care and workers' compensation costs were $10.3 million for 1994,
compared to $8.9 million for 1993, representing an increase of $1.4 million,
or 15.6%. Health care and workers' compensation costs were 5.4% of revenues
for 1994, compared to 6.5% for 1993. This decrease is due primarily to
improved claims loss experience, coupled with the conversion to a large
deductible policy. In 1993, the Company's workers' compensation policy was a
loss-sensitive retrospectively rated plan which provided for retroactive
premium adjustments based on actual loss experience. Since January 1994, the
Company has been insured for workers' compensation benefits under a large
deductible insurance plan. Under this plan, the Company is obligated to pay
workers' compensation claims up to a predetermined deductible per occurrence
($500,000) and in the aggregate $5,250,000.
State unemployment taxes and other direct costs were $1.6 million for
1994, compared to $1.0 million for 1993, representing an increase of $0.6
million, or 63.1%. State unemployment taxes and other direct costs were 0.8%
of revenues for 1994, compared to 0.7% for 1993.
Gross profit was $10.7 million for 1994, compared to $7.0 million for
1993, representing an increase of $3.7 million, or 53.4%. Gross profit was
5.6% of revenues for 1994, compared to 5.1% for 1993. This increase is due
primarily to the increase in revenues as described above, and the reduction
in certain direct costs as a percentage of revenues as described above.
Administrative personnel expenses were $4.0 million for 1994, compared to
$3.2 million for 1993, representing an increase of approximately $0.8
million, or 26.8%. Administrative personnel expenses were 2.1% of revenues
for 1994, compared to 2.3% for 1993. This increase was related to growth of
the Company.
19
<PAGE>
Other general and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for 1994,
compared to $1.0 million for 1993, representing an increase of $1.4 million,
or 135.2%. Other general and administrative expenses were 1.2% of revenues
for 1994, compared to 0.7% for 1993. This increase was related to growth of
the Company.
Sales and marketing costs were $1.4 million for 1994, compared to $0.7
million for 1993, representing an increase of $0.7 million, or 115.0%. Sales
and marketing costs were 0.7% of revenues for 1994, compared to 0.5% for
1993. During 1994, the Company retained an advertising agency and initiated
its first advertising and marketing campaign which included both print and
electronic media advertising.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of $2.1 million,
compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 1994. The decrease was primarily due
to the classification of the Company's $1,200,000 subordinated promissory
note and $700,000 payable related to the repurchase option on the Company's
land and building as current as the result of this offering. The Company's
primary short-term liquidity requirements relate to the Company's letter of
credit requirements under its workers' compensation policies, acquisition of
office and computer equipment to support its growth, and the payment of
current tax obligations. The Company had $5.0 million in cash at December 31,
1995. Of this amount, $4.1 million was restricted under the terms of the
Company's revolving credit facility and letters of credit thereunder, which
letters of credit secure payment of workers' compensation claims. The
remainder of the cash and cash equivalents is available to the Company for
general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, current working
capital requirements, expenditures related to the continued expansion of the
Company's business through sales force additions and potential acquisitions,
capital expenditures and repayments of existing indebtedness. The Company has
no significant long-term debt repayment requirements.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million for 1995,
compared to $0.5 million in 1994. The collateral requirements on the
Company's workers' compensation policies are an integral part of the
Company's liquidity from operating activities. Under the terms of its
revolving credit facility, the Company was able to obtain an additional $3.0
million of letters of credit without an additional collateral requirement.
This contributed to a small decrease in restricted cash of $0.2 million
during 1995, compared to an increase of $2.3 million during 1994. Increases
and decreases in the Company's accounts receivable and accrued salaries,
wages, and payroll taxes are subject to fluctuations depending on the
proximity of the closing date of the reporting period to that of the payroll
cycle.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million for 1995, compared
to $0.9 million in 1994. Cash used in investing activities is related to the
purchases of property and equipment to support the Company's growth. During
1995, the Company also acquired certain client contracts from an unrelated
PEO.
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.9 million in 1995, compared
to $0.2 million in 1994. During 1995, the Company and its stockholders
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization whereby the Company's
stockholders exchanged a portion of their shares of Common Stock for Series A
Preferred Stock, incurring $445,150 of transaction costs. The Company also
acquired 249,342 shares of its Common Stock from a minority shareholder
through a cash payment of $300,000 and the issuance of a $1.2 million
subordinated promissory note, which will be retired with a portion of the
proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds" and Note 7 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has a revolving credit facility with Fleet National Bank of
Massachusetts ("Fleet Bank") providing for a $10.0 million revolving line of
credit of which (i) an aggregate of $8.0 million is available for standby
letters of credit and revolving credit loans for working capital purposes,
such working capital loans not to exceed $1.0 million, and (ii) $2.0 million
is available to finance acquisitions. The Company uses letters of credit
primarily to secure its obligations to reimburse its workers' compensation
insurance carrier for workers' compensation payments subject to the policy
deductible. Borrowings are subject to a borrowing base determined by eligible
accounts receivable and bear interest
20
<PAGE>
at prevailing rates based on Fleet Bank's Prime Rate or Eurodollar Rate. The
facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets (including
accounts receivable and $4.0 million in cash or cash equivalents) other than
the Company's headquarters building. In addition, Carlos Saladrigas and Jose
Sanchez have guaranteed an aggregate of $2.0 million of the Company's
indebtedness under such facility. Revolving credit loans and standby letters
of credit mature December 31, 1996 and acquisition loans are payable over 36
months from the date of draw. Draws can be made through December 31, 1996 and
mature not later than December 31, 1999. The credit facility contains
covenants that, among other things, limit the amount of total consolidated
debt and liens, require the maintenance of certain consolidated financial
ratios, prohibit dividends and similar payments, and restrict capital
expenditures, mergers, dispositions of assets and certain business
acquisitions. The Company is required to pay an unused facility fee of
one-half of 1% on the unused portion of the $2.0 million credit facility
which is available to finance acquisitions. See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, Fleet Bank has provided to the Company a commitment to enter
into a replacement credit facility subject to the completion of this
offering, which would provide for a $13.0 million credit facility, of which
$5.0 million would be available for acquisition purposes and containing other
terms substantially similar to the existing credit facility. The personal
guaranties of Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez would be terminated in
connection with such replacement credit facility.
Although the Company currently has no significant capital commitments, the
Company expects to have $750,000 of capital expenditures in 1996, primarily
for computer and office equipment. During 1995 and 1994, the Company paid
approximately $422,000 and $737,000, respectively, in connection with the
acquisition of property and equipment, substantially all of which related to
office and computer equipment. The Company's long-term liquidity needs are
currently limited to debt service on the Company's outstanding long-term
obligations, including capital leases. See Notes 5 and 12 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company anticipates that the proceeds
of this offering, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under
the expected replacement Fleet Bank credit facility will be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's liquidity and working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future.
INFLATION
The Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a significant
impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Vincam Group, Inc., one of the largest professional employer
organizations ("PEO") in the industry, provides small and medium-sized
businesses with an outsourcing solution to the complexities and costs related
to employment and human resources. The Company's continuum of integrated
employment-related services consists of human resource administration,
employment regulatory compliance management, workers' compensation coverage,
health care and other employee benefits. The Company establishes a
co-employer relationship with its clients and contractually assumes
substantial employer responsibilities with respect to worksite employees. The
Company believes its services assist business owners in: (i) managing
escalating costs associated with workers' compensation, health insurance
coverage, workplace safety programs, and employee-related litigation, (ii)
providing employees with competitive health care and related benefits that
are more characteristic of large employers, and (iii) reducing the time and
effort required by business owners and executives to deal with the
increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment affecting employment.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company provided professional employer services
to approximately 340 client organizations with nearly 11,400 employees,
primarily in Florida, Georgia and Michigan. The Company was among the first
PEOs to be accredited by the Institute for the Accreditation of Professional
Employer Organizations. In addition, the Company capitalizes on its managed
care expertise by offering certain specialty managed care services on a
stand-alone basis to health and workers' compensation insurance companies,
HMOs, managed care providers and large self-insured employers.
INDUSTRY
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there were
approximately 5.1 million businesses in the United States with fewer than 500
employees in 1992. Collectively, these businesses employed an estimated 49
million employees, and represented approximately $1.1 trillion in aggregate
annual payroll, implying a potential market size for PEO services of $1.3
trillion (assuming an average mark-up of approximately 20%). The PEO industry
began to evolve in the early 1980s largely in response to the burdens placed
on small to medium-sized employers by increasing employment costs, an
increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment and high benefit and
workers' compensation costs. While various service providers, such as payroll
processing firms, benefits and safety consultants and temporary services
firms, are available to assist these businesses with specific tasks, these
organizations do not typically provide a comprehensive range of
employment-related services. PEOs address this market void. Because PEOs
enter into agreements with numerous small to medium-sized employers, they can
achieve economies of scale as professional employers and perform
employment-related functions at a level typically available only to large
corporations which have substantial resources to devote to human resources
management.
The PEO industry has experienced significant growth in recent years.
Staffing Industry Analysts, Inc. estimates that gross revenues in the PEO
industry grew from $5.0 billion in 1991 to $13.8 billion in 1995,
representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 29%. The
Company believes that the growth in the number of small businesses in the
United States, the low market penetration of the PEO industry, and the
increasing willingness of businesses to outsource non-core activities and
functions has contributed to the growing demand for PEO services. The PEO
industry is highly fragmented, with approximately 1,100 PEOs in operation in
1995. The Company believes that increasing industry regulatory complexity and
the increasing capital requirements associated with developing larger service
delivery infrastructures and management information systems should lead to
significant consolidation opportunities in the PEO industry.
STRATEGY
The Company intends to further strengthen its position as an industry
leader by pursuing the following business strategies:
/bullet/ PROVIDE EMPLOYERS WITH COMPREHENSIVE OUTSOURCING SOLUTIONS TO
HUMAN RESOURCE NEEDS. By offering a broad and increasing range of high
quality services, the Company believes it is attractive to
22
<PAGE>
employers who are seeking a single-source solution to their human resource
needs. Once a relationship is established, the Company's direct distribution
channels afford access to both the client and the worksite employee. Through
these distribution channels, the Company can add new services and products
which provide additional revenue sources and improve margins. These
comprehensive services foster long-term relationships which promote a high
level of client loyalty and retention, raise competitive barriers, and
generate a recurring revenue stream.
/bullet/ TARGET MEDIUM-SIZED CLIENTS. The Company targets and tailors its
services to meet the needs of medium-sized businesses (with 20 to 500
employees). As of December 31, 1995, the Company's PEO clients had an average
of approximately 34 worksite employees, compared to an estimated 1994
industry-wide average of 13 worksite employees. The Company believes that
medium-sized businesses are more likely than smaller businesses to (i) desire
the wide range of employee benefits offered by Vincam, (ii) recognize the
costs of human resource administration, (iii) have greater employment-related
regulatory burdens, and (iv) be financially stable. In addition, the Company
believes that targeting medium-sized clients results in greater marketing
efficiency, lower business turnover due to client business failure, and less
exposure to credit risk.
/bullet/ AGGRESSIVELY MANAGE HEALTH CARE AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION COSTS
THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF VERTICALLY INTEGRATED MANAGED CARE
SYSTEMS. Historically, more than 50% of the Company's controllable direct
costs (costs other than salaries, wages and employment taxes of worksite
employees) relate to the provision of health care and workers' compensation
benefits. Consequently, the Company's ability to manage the health care and
workers' compensation costs of its worksite employees is critical to its
success and profitability. To more effectively manage the cost and quality of
care, the Company has developed and is continuing to strengthen its
specialized health care provider networks and strategic alliances with health
care providers in regional markets in which the Company has a significant
presence. The Company's goal is the complete integration of all worksite
employee medical management into a comprehensive 24-hour medical management
program that coordinates group health and workers' compensation. The Company
further capitalizes on its managed care expertise by offering specialty
managed care services on a stand-alone basis to health insurance and workers'
compensation insurance companies, HMOs, managed care providers and large
self-insured employers.
/bullet/ DEVELOP PROPRIETARY INFORMATION SYSTEMS. Vincam continues to
develop its proprietary information systems which enable the Company to
integrate all aspects of the administration of human resources, workers'
compensation and employee benefits, thereby providing a significant
competitive advantage in managing costs and delivering a full range of high
quality services. Benefits of the Company's user-friendly systems include
real-time case management, provider credentialling, costing of IBNRs, and the
ability to track outcome data and facilitate provider benchmarking.
/bullet/ INCREASE PENETRATION OF EXISTING MARKETS. The Company intends to
increase its client base in its existing markets by hiring additional sales
personnel and increasing sales productivity. Emphasis on increasing
penetration in existing regions will allow the Company to enhance its current
economies of scale, principally through its managed care activities, thereby
increasing cost effectiveness and profit margins.
/bullet/ EXPAND THROUGH ACQUISITIONS. The PEO industry is highly
fragmented, with approximately 1,100 PEOs operating in the United States,
resulting in opportunities for consolidation. The Company believes that this
industry consolidation will be driven by increasing industry and regulatory
complexity, increasing capital requirements and the significant economies of
scale available to PEOs with a regional concentration of clients. The Company
intends to expand in current markets and to enter selected new markets by
acquiring established quality PEOs to provide a platform for future regional
consolidation. The Company has identified certain fundamental attributes
which characterize attractive potential new markets such as (i) proximity to
a major metropolitan area, (ii) regulatory receptivity to PEOs, (iii) prior
successful introduction of the PEO concept, (iv) favorable economic
conditions, (v) high workers' compensation rates and health care costs, and
(vi) a high concentration of small to medium-sized businesses.
SERVICES
Vincam provides professional employer services through four core
activities: (i) human resource administration, (ii) employer regulatory
compliance management, (iii) workers' compensation cost
23
<PAGE>
containment and safety management, and (iv) employee benefits administration.
By engaging Vincam to provide these services, clients are able to concentrate
their resources on their core businesses. In addition, the Company leverages
its managed care expertise by offering certain specialty managed care
services on a stand-alone basis to health and workers' compensation insurance
companies, HMOs, managed care providers and large self-insured employers.
HUMAN RESOURCE ADMINISTRATION. Vincam's comprehensive human resource
services reduce the employment-related administrative burdens faced by its
clients, and provide worksite employees with a wide array of benefits
typically offered by large employers. As a co-employer, the Company is
responsible for payroll and attendant record-keeping, payroll tax deposits,
payroll tax reporting, employee file maintenance, unemployment claims, and
monitoring and responding to changing regulatory requirements. Vincam
develops and administers customized personnel policies and procedures for
each of its clients, relating to, among other things, recruiting, performance
appraisals, discipline and terminations. The Company also provides
recruiting, orientation, training, counseling, substance abuse awareness and
outplacement services for worksite employees.
EMPLOYER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT. Under its standard contract,
the Company assumes responsibility for complying with many employment-related
regulatory requirements. In addition, Vincam assists its clients in
understanding and complying with other employment-related requirements for
which the Company does not assume responsibility. Laws and regulations
applicable to employers include state and federal tax laws, state workers'
compensation laws, state unemployment laws, occupational safety laws,
immigration laws, and discrimination, sexual harassment and other civil
rights laws. When a claim arises, the Company provides assistance through
either its in-house legal department or outside counsel. In order to respond
to such claims in a cost-effective manner, the Company has entered into a
capitated fee arrangement with a national law firm specializing in employment
and labor issues.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION COST CONTAINMENT AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT. Workers'
compensation is a state-mandated, comprehensive insurance program that
requires employers to fund medical expenses, lost wages and other costs that
result from work-related injuries and illnesses, regardless of fault and
without any copayment by the employee. See "Industry Regulation." The Company
seeks to control its workers' compensation costs through comprehensive risk
evaluation of prospective clients, the prevention of workplace injuries,
early intervention in each employee injury, intensive management of the
medical costs related to such injuries and the prompt return of employees to
work. The Company seeks to prevent workplace injuries by implementing a wide
variety of training, safety and mandatory drug-free workplace programs
(including pre-employment, random and post-accident drug testing). Specific
components of the Company's proprietary managed care system include the
prompt identification and reporting of injuries, the use of
Company-designated health care providers, utilization and fee review,
telephonic claims and case management, auditing of bills and other techniques
designed to reduce medical costs. The Company's efforts to quickly return
employees to work involve both rehabilitation services and the placement of
employees in transitional, modified-duty positions until they are able to
resume their former positions.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND RELATED ADMINISTRATION. Vincam currently offers to
worksite employees an employee benefits package which includes several health
care options, such as preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), HMOs, and
exclusive provider organizations ("EPOs"). Supplemental benefit programs
offer dental care, vision care, prescription drugs, an employee assistance
plan, mental health benefits and several life and disability insurance
options. Vincam also offers 401(k) retirement savings and cafeteria plans to
its eligible employees. The Company delivers participant benefits to worksite
employees and monitors and reviews claims for loss control purposes. The
Company believes that its ability to provide and administer a wide variety of
employee benefits on behalf of its clients tends to mitigate the competitive
disadvantage small and medium-sized businesses normally face in the areas of
employee benefit cost control and employee recruiting and retention.
SPECIALTY MANAGED CARE SERVICES. The growth in the Company's core PEO
business has provided Vincam with significant expertise and experience in
managing a wide range of employee health care and disability costs. In order
to further capitalize on that expertise, the Company offers a variety of
specialty managed care services (such as employee assistance programs,
behavioral health managed care,
24
<PAGE>
comprehensive workers' compensation managed care services, risk management
and loss containment services) on a stand-alone basis to health and workers'
compensation insurance companies, HMOs, managed care providers and large
self-insured employers. The Company's employee assistance program and
behavioral health managed care services provide a client company's employees
(which may or may not be worksite employees provided by the Company) with
access to a network of professionals, established and monitored by the
Company, who can address behavioral health issues and assist employees with
personal problems such as alcohol or drug abuse, financial or legal concerns
and marriage or family problems. The Company's workers' compensation managed
care services, risk management services and loss containment services include
(i) providing claim management, reporting and processing, (ii) coordination
of all procedures for handling injuries, (iii) development of safety
programs, supervisory training in safety techniques and self-inspection, (iv)
implementation of medical provider networks, (v) investigation of fraudulent
claims, and (vi) monitoring of all continuing claims and return-to-work
programs. These services are provided from the Company's headquarters by
Company employees.
The Company believes that the continued expansion of its specialty managed
care division will (i) enhance its leverage in negotiating provider
arrangements and create greater economies of scale, (ii) increase profit
margins by using existing service delivery infrastructures to generate
additional revenue, and (iii) benefit the Company's PEO operations by making
the Company's specialty managed care services more cost-effective, innovative
and competitive. The Company believes that the continued evolution of
Vincam's specialty managed care services could require structural and
organizational modifications to the Company's traditional relationships with
other participants in the health care industry. For example, in 1994, Vincam
formed a strategic alliance with HIP Health Plans of Florida (a Florida HMO)
as part of its strategy to establish the first workers' compensation managed
care arrangement to be certified in every county in the State of Florida. The
Company expects that its ability to expand its specialty managed care
services outside of Florida will also require licensure or a restructuring of
all or certain aspects of its Florida operating structure. See "Risk
Factors--Expansion into Additional States" and "Industry Regulation."
CLIENTS
The Company and its clients are often referred to as co-employers because
each is responsible for certain specified employer-related obligations. The
division of applicable responsibilities is generally as follows:

The Company's standard PEO services agreement provides for an initial one
year term, subject to termination by the Company or the client at any time
during the first year upon 30 days' prior written notice, and thereafter
annually. Revenues from professional employer services are based on a pricing
model that takes into account the gross pay of each employee and a mark-up
which includes the estimated costs of federal and state employment taxes,
workers' compensation, employee benefits and the human resource
administrative services, as well as a provision for profit. The Company
includes in its revenues all amounts billed to clients for gross payroll and
wages, related employment taxes and health care and workers' compensation
coverage. The specific mark-up varies by client based on the workers'
compensation classification of the worksite employees and their eligibility
for health care benefits. Accordingly, the Company's average mark-up
percentage will fluctuate based on client mix, which cannot be predicted with
any degree of certainty.
At December 31, 1995, Vincam served approximately 340 PEO client companies
and had nearly 11,400 active worksite employees resulting in an average of 34
worksite employees per PEO client. No single client accounted for more than
4% of Vincam's 1995 revenues. However, approximately 77% of the Company's
1995 revenues were derived from the South Florida market. See "Risk
Factors--Geographic Market Concentration." The Company's PEO client base is
broadly distributed throughout a wide variety of industries. As of December
31, 1995, Vincam's approximate worksite employee and PEO client company
distribution by major Standard Industrial Classification code as a percentage
of the total is set forth below:

</TABLE>
The number of worksite employees employed by the Company at the end of
each of 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995, was 2,452, 4,244, 6,587, 8,590 and
11,391, respectively. There can be no assurance that the number of worksite
employees employed by the Company will continue to grow at the same rate or
that such number will not decrease.
Vincam has benefited from a high level of client retention, resulting in a
significant recurring revenue stream. During 1994, Vincam retained 191 of the
239 clients it began the year with, and during 1995, it retained 243 of 285
clients, resulting in client retention rates for 1994 to 1995 and 1995 to
1996 of 80% and 85%, respectively. The client retention rate is calculated by
determining the percentage of clients which remained with the Company from
the beginning of the year into the following year, including clients which
may have completed the first year of their agreements with the Company during
the year, but excluding clients which terminated their engagement of the
Company within the same year as such engagement commenced. Of the 104 and 106
new clients which engaged the Company during 1994 and 1995, respectively, ten
of such clients in each year terminated their engagement of the Company
during the same year in which they commenced such engagement. Client
attrition experienced by Vincam is attributable to a variety of factors,
including (i) client nonrenewal due to price or service dissatisfaction, (ii)
client business failure or downsizing, (iii) termination by Vincam resulting
from the client's inability to make timely payments, and (iv) sale or
acquisition of the client.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company markets its services through a direct sales force of 19 sales
executives, as of December 31, 1995, each of whom reports to one of the
Company's three area presidents. The Company attributes the high productivity
of its sales executives to their average of approximately eight years of
experience in fields related to one or more of the Company's core services.
The background of the Company's sales executives includes experience in
industries such as payroll services, health insurance, temporary services and
workers' compensation insurance. The Company's sales materials emphasize its
broad range of high quality services and the resulting benefits to clients
and worksite employees. The Company's sales and marketing strategy is to hire
additional sales executives in its existing markets and to increase sales
productivity.
Vincam generates sales leads from two primary sources: direct sales
efforts and referrals. These leads result in initial presentations to
prospective clients. Vincam's sales executives then gather information about
the prospective client and its employees, including job classification,
workers' compensation claims history, health insurance claims history, salary
and the desired level of employee benefits. These various factors are
reviewed in the context of Vincam's pricing model and client selection
guidelines. A client proposal is prepared for acceptable clients.
This prospective client screening process plays a vital role in
controlling the Company's costs and limiting exposure to liability. Once a
prospective client accepts Vincam's proposal, the new client is quickly
incorporated into the Company's system. A Company human resources manager
then assumes responsibility for administering the client's personnel and
benefits, coordinating the Company's response to the client's needs for
administrative support and responding to any questions or problems
encountered by the client.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Company's integrated, state-of-the-art information systems provide a
competitive advantage in managing costs and delivering comprehensive high
quality services. The Company's proprietary systems
27
<PAGE>
allow real time reporting of worksite accidents and injuries, enabling Vincam
to promptly implement its managed care techniques and thereby better control
workers' compensation and other health care costs. In addition, the Company
has developed a proprietary software product installed on PEO clients'
computers which enables the clients to directly enter payroll and other human
resource management data, via modem dial-in, and provides clients with other
local reporting capabilities.
COMPETITION
The Company's competitors include (i) traditional in-house human resource
departments, (ii) other PEOs, and (iii) providers of unbundled
employment-related services such as payroll processing firms, temporary
employment firms, commercial insurance brokers, human resource consultants,
workers' compensation insurers, HMOs and other specialty managed care
providers. Certain of such companies, many of which have greater financial
and other resources than the Company, are seeking to enter the professional
employer services market.
Competition in the highly fragmented PEO industry is generally on a local
or regional basis. Management believes that the primary elements of
competition are quality of service, choice and quality of benefits,
reputation and price. The Company believes that name recognition, regulatory
expertise, financial resources, risk management and data processing
capability distinguish leading PEOs from the rest of the industry.
The Company believes that barriers to entry into the PEO industry are
increasing, including the following: (i) the complexity of the PEO business
and the need for expertise in multiple disciplines; (ii) the three to five
years of experience required to establish experience ratings in key cost
areas of workers' compensation, health insurance and unemployment; and (iii)
the need for sophisticated management information systems to track all
aspects of business in a high-growth environment.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 152 corporate employees. Of its
corporate employees, 67 were employed in the Company's PEO operations, 53
were employed in the Company's specialty managed care operations and 32 were
employed in administration. For information with respect to the Company's
worksite employees, see "--Clients."
FACILITIES
The Company maintains eight facilities. The Company's headquarters are
located in Coral Gables, Florida, in a Company-owned building that houses the
Company's executive offices, South Florida PEO unit and specialty managed
care operations. The Company's PEO operations utilize three other Florida
offices located in Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando, as well as
offices in Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois and Detroit and Grand Rapids,
Michigan. All of the Company's offices other than its headquarters are
leased. See Notes 5 and 12 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
for information regarding the Company's leases and the mortgage on its
headquarters facility. The Company believes that its current facilities are
adequate for its current needs and that additional suitable space will be
available as required.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In December 1995, Angela Isabel Sanchez and her minor children filed a
wrongful death suit in the 11th Judicial Circuit in Dade County, Florida
against the Company, Miami Free Zone Corporation (one of the Company's PEO
clients), and certain officers of the Company and such client. The complaint
alleged that the defendants improperly assigned certain maintenance duties to
an employee of the Company assigned to the client, who was fatally injured in
the course of such duties. Plaintiffs seek damages in excess of $10 million.
The Company is asserting that its liability under this claim, if any, should
be limited to the State of Florida's workers' compensation limit of $100,000
involving worksite deaths. The Company is defending the action in cooperation
with the client. In March 1996, the claims against the officers of the
Company and the client were dismissed, and discovery in the proceeding was
stayed pending the court's determination of whether the plaintiffs adequately
stated a cause of action
28
<PAGE>
against the Company and the client. The plaintiffs were granted leave to replead
their claims against the officers of the Company and the client within 90 days
of such determination. In April 1996, Ms. Sanchez filed an amended complaint on
behalf of herself, her minor children and as personal representative of the
estate of the deceased employee seeking damages in excess of $15,000 against the
Company and its client. The Company also believes that if the lawsuit is
adversely determined, the Company will be entitled to indemnification from its
client or its general/umbrella liability insurance carrier. While there can be
no assurance that the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations,
management believes, based on consultations with the Company's counsel, that the
ultimate outcome of this lawsuit will not have such an effect.
Except as noted above, the Company is not a party to any pending legal
proceedings other than ordinary course routine litigation incidental to its
business that the Company believes would not have a material adverse effect
on its financial condition or results of operations.
INDUSTRY REGULATION
OVERVIEW
The Company's professional employer and specialty managed care operations
are subject to extensive state and federal regulations that include
operating, fiscal, licensing and certification requirements. Adding
complexity to the Company's regulatory environment are (i) uncertainties
resulting from the non-traditional employment relationships created by PEOs,
(ii) variations in state regulatory schemes, and (iii) the ongoing evolution
of regulations regarding health care and workers' compensation.
Many of the federal and state laws and regulations relating to labor, tax
and employment matters applicable to employers were enacted prior to the
development of non-traditional employment relationships and, accordingly, do
not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of PEOs.
Moreover, both the Company's PEO and specialty managed care services are
regulated primarily at the state level. Regulatory requirements regarding the
Company's business therefore vary from state to state, and as the Company
enters new states it will be faced with new regulatory and licensing
environments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
satisfy the licensing requirements or other applicable regulations of any
particular state in which it is not currently operating, that it will be able
to provide the full range of services currently offered in Florida, or that
it will be able to operate profitably within the regulatory environment of
any state in which it does not obtain regulatory approval. The absence of
required licenses would require the Company to restrict the services it
offers.
The application of many laws to the Company's PEO services will depend on
whether the Company is considered an employer under the relevant statutes and
regulations. For example, the common law test of the employment relationship
is generally used to determine employer status for benefit plan purposes
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), the Code, the workers' compensation laws of many states and
various state unemployment laws. However, management believes, and IRS
representatives have observed, that such common law test, originally created
to distinguish an employee from an independent contractor, is not well suited
to determining which of the co-employers in a PEO relationship should be the
employer for ERISA and Code purposes. The IRS is examining this issue in
connection with its Market Segment Study. See "PEO Services--Employee Benefit
Plans." In addition, from time to time there have been proposals to enact a
statutory definition of employer for certain purposes of the Code.
Regulation in the health care and workers' compensation fields continues
to evolve. Sweeping reforms have been the subject of debate at both the
federal and state government levels. New legislation or new interpretations
of current licensing and regulatory requirements could impose operating or
licensing requirements on the Company which it may not be able to satisfy or
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. Additionally, interpretation of such
legislation or regulation by regulatory agencies with broad discretionary
powers could require the Company to modify its existing operations materially
in order to comply with applicable regulations. In addition, although health
care reform at the state and federal
29
<PAGE>
level seeks solutions to contain health care costs, there can be no assurance
that such proposals will be successful. The Company cannot predict what
effect any such proposed reform will have on its business. If new legislation
results in increased health care costs, which comprise a significant portion
of the Company's direct costs, and if the Company is not able to reflect
promptly such increased costs in its service fees, the legislation could have
a material adverse impact on the Company's future operations and liquidity.
While the Company cannot predict with certainty the development of federal
and state regulations, management will continue to pursue a proactive
strategy of educating administrative authorities as to the advantages of PEOs
and assisting in the development of regulation which appropriately
accommodates their legitimate business function.
PEO SERVICES
PEO LICENSING REQUIREMENTS. A critical aspect of the growth of the PEO
industry has been increasing recognition and acceptance of PEOs by state
authorities. As the concept of PEO services became understood by regulatory
authorities, the regulatory environment began to shift from one of hostility
and skepticism to one of regulatory recognition of the industry. During the
mid to late 1980s, legitimate industry participants were challenged to
overcome well publicized failures of financially unsound and, in some cases,
unscrupulous operators. Given this environment, Vincam and other industry
leaders, in conjunction with the National Association of Professional
Employer Organizations, worked with relevant government entities to establish
a regulatory framework designed to protect clients and employees and
discourage unscrupulous and financially unsound operators, thereby promoting
the legitimacy and further development of the industry.
While many states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, approximately one-third
of the states, including Florida, have passed laws that have licensing or
registration requirements for PEOs and several additional states, including
Georgia and Michigan, are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from
state to state but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility
of PEOs. State regulation assists in screening insufficiently capitalized PEO
operations and, in the Company's view, has the effect of legitimizing the PEO
industry generally by resolving interpretative issues concerning employee
status for specific purposes under applicable state law. However, because
existing regulations are relatively new, there is limited interpretive or
enforcement guidance available. The development of additional regulations and
interpretation of existing regulations can be expected to evolve over time.
The Company has actively supported such regulatory efforts.
In Florida, the Company's PEO operations are licensed under the Florida
Employee Leasing Licensing Act of 1991 (the "Florida Licensing Act"). The
Florida Licensing Act requires PEOs and their controlling persons to be
licensed, mandates reporting requirements and allocates several employer
responsibilities. The Florida Licensing Act also requires licensed PEOs to
submit annual financial statements and maintain a tangible accounting net
worth and positive working capital. The Florida Licensing Act also requires
PEOs to, among other things: (i) reserve the right of direction and control
over the leased employees, (ii) enter into a written agreement with the
client company, (iii) pay wages to the leased employees, (iv) pay and collect
payroll taxes, (v) maintain authority to hire, terminate, discipline and
reassign employees, (vi) reserve a right to direct and control the management
of safety, risk and hazard control at the worksite, (vii) promulgate and
administer employment and safety policies, and (viii) manage workers'
compensation claims.
FEDERAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT TAXES. The Company 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
worksite employees. There are essentially three types of federal employment
tax obligations: (i) income tax withholding requirements, (ii) social
security obligations under FICA, and (iii) unemployment obligations under
FUTA. Under these Code sections, the employer has the obligation to withhold
and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the employee portion of
these taxes.
To date the IRS has relied extensively on the common law test of
employment in determining employer status and the resulting liability for
failure to withhold. However, the IRS has formed a
30
<PAGE>
Market Segment Study Group for the stated purpose of examining whether PEOs,
such as the Company, are the employers of the worksite employees under the
Code provisions applicable to federal employment taxes and, consequently,
whether they are exclusively responsible for payment of employment taxes on
wages and salaries paid to such employees. Another stated purpose of the
Market Segment Study Group is to determine whether owners of client companies
can be employees of PEOs under the federal employment tax laws.
The interpretive uncertainties raised by the Market Segment Study Group
may impact the Company's ability to report employment taxes on its own
account rather than for the accounts of its clients and would increase
administrative burdens on the Company's payroll service function. In
addition, while the Company believes that it can contractually assume the
client company's withholding obligations, in the event the Company fails to
meet these obligations the client company may be held jointly and severally
liable therefor. The Company's management believes that the economic strength
and reputation of the Company has prevented this potential liability from
discouraging prospective clients.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The Company offers various employee benefit plans
to its worksite employees, including a 401(k) plan (a profit-sharing plan
with an employer contributions feature), a cafeteria plan, a group health
plan, a group life insurance plan, a group disability insurance plan and an
employee assistance plan. Generally, employee benefit plans are subject to
provisions of both the Code and ERISA. 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. Most of these benefit
plans are also offered to Vincam's corporate employees.
The Market Segment Study Group established by the IRS is also examining
whether PEOs, such as the Company, are the employers of worksite employees
under Code provisions applicable to employee benefit plans and consequently
able to offer to worksite employees benefit plans that qualify for favorable
tax treatment. The Market Segment Study Group is also examining whether
client company owners are employees of PEOs under Code provisions applicable
to employee benefit plans. The Company is unable to predict the timing or
nature of the findings of the Market Segment Study Group or the ultimate
outcome of such conclusions or findings. If the IRS study were to conclude
that a PEO is not an employer of its worksite employees for plan purposes,
worksite employees could not continue to make contributions to the Company's
401(k) plan or cafeteria plan. The Company believes that although unfavorable
to the Company, a prospective application by the IRS of an adverse conclusion
would not have a material adverse effect on its financial position and
results of operations. If such conclusion were applied retroactively,
employees' vested account balances would become taxable immediately, the
Company would lose its tax deduction to the extent the contributions were not
vested, the plan trust would become a taxable trust and penalties could be
assessed. In such a scenario, the Company would face the risk of client
dissatisfaction as well as potential litigation. A retroactive application by
the IRS of an adverse conclusion could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position and results of operations. While Vincam believes
that a retroactive disqualification is unlikely, there can be no assurance as
to the ultimate resolution of these issues.
In March 1995, the Company applied for a determination from the IRS
regarding the qualified status of its 401(k) plan. In its application to the
IRS, the Company informed the IRS that the Company is involved in the
business of leasing employees to client companies and that the 401(k) plan
covered worksite or leased employees who satisfied the plan's eligibility
requirements. The statement that the plan covered worksite employees does not
necessarily resolve the issue of employer status for 401(k) plan purposes.
The Company anticipates a determination to be made by the IRS in the second
half of 1996. Although the Company anticipates that it will receive a
favorable determination, there can be no assurance in this regard. Failure to
receive a favorable determination from the IRS regarding the qualified status
of the 401(k) plan could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the employer/employee relationship requirement described
above, pension and profit-sharing plans, including the Company's 401(k) plan,
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
31
<PAGE>
the availability of, and the benefits, rights and features offered in,
qualified employee benefit plans. The Company applies the nondiscrimination
requirements of the Code at both a consolidated and client company level to
ensure that its 401(k) plan is in compliance with the requirements of the
Code.
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." The United States Supreme Court has held that the common law test
of employment must be applied to determine whether an individual is an
employee or an independent contractor under ERISA.
A definitive judicial interpretation of employer in the context of a PEO
or employee leasing arrangement has not been established. If the Company were
found not to be an employer for ERISA purposes, its plans would not comply
with ERISA and the level of services the Company could offer may be
materially adversely affected. Further, as a result of such finding, the
Company and its plans would not enjoy the preemption of state laws provided
by ERISA and could be subject to varying state laws and regulations, as well
as to claims based upon state common laws.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION. Workers' compensation is a state mandated,
comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund medical
expenses, lost wages and other costs resulting from work-related injuries and
illnesses. In exchange for providing workers' compensation coverage for
employees, employers are not subject to litigation by employees for benefits
in excess of those provided by the relevant state statute. In most states,
the extensive benefits coverage (for both medical costs and lost wages) is
provided through the purchase of commercial insurance from private insurance
companies, participation in state-run insurance funds or employer
self-insurance. Workers' compensation benefits and arrangements vary on a
state-by-state basis and are often highly complex. These laws establish the
rights of workers to receive benefits and to appeal benefit denials. Workers'
compensation laws also regulate the methods and procedures which the Company
may employ in its workers' compensation managed care programs. For example,
workers' compensation laws prohibit medical copayment and deductible payment
by employees. In addition, certain states restrict employers' rights to
select health care providers and establish maximum fee levels for treatment
of injured workers.
Provider reimbursement methods also vary from state to state. A majority
of states, including Florida, have adopted fee schedules pursuant to which
all health care providers are uniformly reimbursed. In states without fee
schedules, health care providers are reimbursed based on usual, customary and
reasonable fees charged in the particular state in which the services are
provided.
As a creation of state law, workers' compensation is subject to change by
the state legislature in each state and is influenced by the political
processes in each state. Several states have mandated that employers receive
coverage only from state operated funds. Florida and other states have
adopted legislation requiring that all workers' compensation injuries be
treated through a managed care program. Florida's legislation takes effect
January 1, 1997 and provides incentives for employers such as the Company
which voluntarily use a managed care system for on-the-job injuries prior to
the effective date. While such legislation may increase the market for the
Company's workers' compensation managed care services, it may also intensify
the competition faced by the Company for such services. In addition, federal
health care reform proposals include a proposal that may require 24-hour
health coverage, in which the coverage of traditional employer-sponsored
health plans is combined with workers' compensation coverage to provide a
single insurance plan for health problems, whether or not related to work.
Incorporating workers' compensation coverage into conventional health plans
may adversely affect the market for the Company's services and may intensify
the competition faced by the Company from HMOs and other health care
providers. Moreover, because workers' compensation benefits are mandated by
law and are subject to extensive regulation, payors and employers do not have
the same flexibility to alter benefits as they have with other health benefit
programs. Finally, because workers' compensation programs vary from state to
state, it is difficult for payors and multi-state employers to adopt uniform
policies to administer, manage and control the costs of benefits.
The Company's ability to use comprehensive workers' compensation managed
care techniques in its PEO operations depends in part on its ability to
contract with or create networks of health care
32
<PAGE>
providers. The Company requires that injured workers use the Company's
network of providers. Laws regulating the operation of managed care provider
networks have been adopted by a number of states. These laws may apply to
managed care provider networks having contracts with the Company or to
provider networks which the Company may organize. To the extent the Company
is governed by these regulations, it may be subject to additional licensing
requirements, financial oversight and procedural standards for beneficiaries
and providers.
OTHER EMPLOYER RELATED REQUIREMENTS. As an employer, the Company is
subject to a wide variety of federal and state laws and regulations governing
employer-employee relationships, including the Immigration Reform and Control
Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, wage and hour regulations, and
comprehensive state and federal civil rights laws and regulations, including
those prohibiting discrimination and sexual harassment. The definition of
employer may be broadly interpreted under these laws.
Responsibility for complying with various state and federal laws and
regulations is allocated by agreement between Vincam and its clients, or in
some cases is the joint responsibility of both. See "Business--Clients."
Because the Company acts as a co-employer with the client company, it is
possible that Vincam could incur liability for violations of laws even though
Vincam is not contractually or otherwise responsible for the conduct giving
rise to such liability. The Company's standard client agreement generally
provides that the client will indemnify the Company for liability incurred as
a result of an act of negligence of a worksite employee under the direction
and control of the client or to the extent the liability is attributable to
the client's failure to comply with any law or regulation for which it has
specified contractual responsibility. However, there can be no assurance that
Vincam will be able to enforce such indemnification and the Company may
therefore be ultimately responsible for satisfying the liability in question.
SPECIALTY MANAGED CARE SERVICES
The Company currently offers managed behavioral health and workers'
compensation managed care services on a stand-alone basis to health and
workers' compensation insurance companies, HMOs, managed care providers and
large self-insured employers. Under certain of these arrangements, the
Company offers these services on a capitated, risk-bearing basis. Laws in all
states regulate the business of insurance and the establishment and operation
of health maintenance organizations and other networks of health care
providers. The Company's use or establishment of provider networks in the
provision of managed mental health care services or workers' compensation
managed care services could subject the Company to regulation under state
statutes regarding managed care provider networks. To the extent that the
Company operates or is deemed to operate in one or more states as a prepaid
limited health services organization, HMO, prepaid health plan or other
similar entity, it will be required to comply with certain statutes and
regulations that, among other things, may require it to maintain minimum
levels of deposits, capital, surplus, reserves or net worth, and also may
limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to pay dividends. In
addition, many of these regulations vary on a state-by-state basis, and there
can be no assurance that, as the Company's operations expand, it will be able
to satisfy the various requirements of other states or be able to offer the
same services covered in Florida.
The Florida Department of Insurance (the "DOI") is in the process of
implementing a prepaid limited health services organization statute enacted
in 1993. This statute provides for the regulation of limited service prepaid
health plans in a manner similar to the regulation of HMOs. The Company has
obtained a written determination from the staff of the DOI to the effect that
its provision of capitated managed behavioral health care services does not
currently subject the Company to regulation under this statute. However,
there can be no assurance that the DOI will not take a contrary position in
the future. The DOI is also contemplating issuing administrative rules
regulating the financial solvency and operation of entities that contract
with HMOs and other regulated insurers to arrange for the provision of health
services to HMO members or insureds on a prepaid basis. There can be no
assurance that such rules, if promulgated, will not have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Certain of the Company's specialty managed care services, including its
managed behavioral health care services and certain of its workers'
compensation managed care services, involve review of requests

for medical care or therapy. Approximately half of the states, including
Florida, have enacted laws that require licensing of businesses that provide
medical review services. These laws typically establish minimum standards for
qualification of personnel, as well as confidentiality, internal quality
control and dispute resolution procedures. Such regulatory programs may
require additional licensure or increase the Company's operating costs, which
may in turn have an adverse impact upon the Company's competitive position.
Psych/Care, Inc. ("Psych/Care"), the Company's subsidiary that provides
managed behavioral health care services, is licensed under Florida law as a
private review agent. Psych/Care arranges for the provision of managed
behavioral health services through its own network of independent providers
and, in connection therewith, also provides medical review services. The
Company is responsible for credentialing its providers and has adopted a plan
that complies with the Standards for Accreditation of Managed Care
Organizations established by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, a
private accrediting body.
In Florida, and in cooperation with HIP Health Plans of Florida, the
Company has developed the first WCMCA to be certified in every county in the
State of Florida. There can be no assurance that future interpretations of
insurance and health care network laws by the regulatory authorities of
states in which the Company does business (or in states into which the
Company may expand such business) will not require licensure or a
restructuring of all or some of the Company's operations.

GENERAL. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of

until their death, resignation or removal. Charles M. Hazard, Jr. was elected
as a director of the Company pursuant to the provisions of a Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") entered into by the Company,
Greylock and Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez in February 1995 in connection
with Greylock's purchase of the Company's Participating Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). See "Certain Transactions." In
addition, a Shareholders Voting Agreement (the "Shareholder Voting
Agreement") among the Company, Greylock and Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez
provides that Greylock and Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez shall cause the
election of one director designated by Greylock (currently Howard E. Cox,
Jr.) and two directors designated by mutual agreement of Messrs. Saladrigas
and Sanchez (currently Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez). The Shareholder
Voting Agreement and the voting provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement
will terminate upon consummation of this offering.
COMMITTEES. The Company's Board of Directors has established a Stock
Option Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee.
The Stock Option Committee administers the Company's 1995 Stock Option
Plan and the 1996 Long Term Incentive Plan including, among other things,

financial and accounting standards and principles, and the Company's policies
and procedures with respect to its internal accounting, auditing and
financial controls. The Audit Committee also examines and considers other
matters relating to the financial affairs and accounting methods of the
Company, including selection and retention of the Company's independent
accountants. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Howard E. Cox,

Directors. In December 1995, pursuant to the Company's 1995 Stock Option
Plan, the Company granted to Dr. McArthur an option to acquire 66,666 shares

Term Incentive Plan, the Company granted to each of Messrs. Cox and Hazard an
option to acquire 33,000 shares of Common Stock. Each option has an exercise
price of $8.05 per share and vests over a five year period.

the aggregate cash compensation paid or payable to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer during the prior quarter. Pursuant to this arrangement, Mr.
Cox was paid an aggregate of $10,416 with respect to his 1995 service as a

entered into with the Company in February 1995. These agreements provide, among
other things, that upon a termination of the officer's employment, the Company
may elect to extend the officer's non-competition obligations under the
agreement for up to two years following the termination of employment. For each
month during which the Company elects to extend the officer's non-competition
obligation, the Company must make payments to the officer, monthly in arrears,
at the rate of 100% of the officer's base salary, plus an amount equal to the
bonus received by the officer for the last completed fiscal year, and must
continue to provide perquisites to the officer during such extension period.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Prior to February 1996, the Board of Directors did not have a Compensation
Committee, and decisions regarding compensation of executive officers were

OPTION GRANTS
Neither of the Named Executive Officers has been granted any stock
options.
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On May 24, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and its
shareholders approved the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan")
under which 666,665 shares of Common Stock are currently reserved for
issuance upon exercise of stock options. The 1995 Plan provides for the grant
of both incentive stock options intended to qualify as such under Section 422
of the Code ("incentive stock options") and nonqualified stock options to
directors, officers, key employees, consultants and other individual
contributors of or to the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined in the
discretion of the Stock Option Committee. Pursuant to the terms of the 1995
Plan, incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may not be
granted with an exercise price which is less than 100% and 85%, respectively,
of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant,
as reasonably determined by the Stock Option Committee. The 1995 Plan will
terminate on May 24, 2005, unless sooner terminated by the Board of
Directors.
As of April 26, 1996, there were outstanding under the 1995 Plan options
to purchase an aggregate of 561,328 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices
ranging from $3.00 to $8.05 per share. These options vest in varying amounts
over a five year period from their respective grant dates, with the first of
such options becoming exercisable in July 1996, and expire on the tenth
anniversary of their respective grant dates. The exercise price of all stock
options granted under the 1995 Plan was not less than the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors. Management believes that various factors have contributed
to the difference between the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock
as determined by the Board of Directors in setting the exercise price of
grants under the 1995 Plan and the price of the Company's Common Stock being
offered to the public pursuant to this offering. These factors include (i)
the potential liquidity resulting from this offering; (ii) the fact that, as
a publicly traded company, the Company's stock will be more readily valued by
the market by reference to comparable public companies; and (iii) the
enhanced financial position of the Company and improved ability to take
advantage of growth opportunities resulting from the application of the net
proceeds of this offering as described in "Use of Proceeds." See
"Underwriting." The Company intends to file a registration statement under
the Securities Act to register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the 1995 Plan. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
38
<PAGE>
1996 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
In February 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and its
shareholders approved the 1996 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan")
under which 800,000 shares of Common Stock are currently reserved for
issuance upon exercise of or in connection with stock options, stock
appreciation rights, performance awards, grants of restricted stock and other
stock based or stock related awards. The 1996 Plan provides for the grant of
both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, as well as other
stock-based awards, to the Company's directors, employees (including
officers) and consultants as determined in the discretion of the Stock Option
Committee. Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Plan, incentive stock options
and nonqualified stock options may not be granted with an exercise price
which is less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock on the date of grant. The 1996 Plan will terminate in February, 2006,
unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.
As of April 26, 1996, there were outstanding under the 1996 Plan options
to purchase an aggregate of 66,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $8.05. These options vest in varying amounts over a five year period
from their respective grant dates, with the first of such options becoming
exercisable in March 1998, and expire on the tenth anniversary of their
respective grant dates. The exercise price of all stock options granted under
the 1996 Plan was not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The
Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to
register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan.
See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In June 1993, C.P. Investments of Miami, Inc. ("C.P."), a company owned
equally by Carlos A. Saladrigas and Jose M. Sanchez, assigned to the Company
an option (the "Option") to purchase from an unrelated third party the
Company's Coral Gables headquarters facility for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $1.0 million. C.P. received no consideration for the
assignment of the Option, but retained the right to repurchase from the
Company the building for the sum of $1.0 million (the "Repurchase Option").
The value of the Repurchase Option retained by Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez
through their ownership of C.P. was determined to be $700,000 and was
recorded as a distribution to Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez in 1993. In
connection with the February 1995 Stock Purchase Agreement, Messrs.
Saladrigas and Sanchez agreed to cause C.P. to sell the Repurchase Option to
the Company for $700,000, subject to the closing of an initial public
offering of Common Stock. The $700,000 purchase price reflects the difference
between the market value of the building, as established by two independent
third-party appraisals of the building, and its November 1993 purchase price.
The Company anticipates that it will fund the repurchase of the Repurchase
Option with a portion of the proceeds from this offering. See "Use of
Proceeds" and Note 7 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, in June 1993 the Company entered into a building management
agreement with C.P., pursuant to which C.P. is responsible for ensuring that
the Company's Coral Gables facility is properly managed and maintained and
for coordinating and procuring contracts with outside service companies for
various maintenance services. During each of 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Company
paid to C.P. aggregate building maintenance fees of $42,000, $41,000, and
$40,000, respectively. The building management agreement will be terminated
by the Company and C.P. in connection with the consummation of this offering.
During 1992 and 1993, each of Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez borrowed an
aggregate of $55,500 from the Company in connection with a purchase of shares
of Common Stock from another shareholder and the payment of a deposit on the
purchase of the Company's headquarters. Such indebtedness was evidenced by an
unsecured promissory note from each of Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez bearing
interest at 7% per annum and maturing on December 31, 1997. The outstanding
principal amount and interest owing pursuant to such promissory notes was
repaid in February 1995. The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness of each
of Mr. Saladrigas and Sanchez during 1993, 1994 and 1995 was $61,539,
outstanding as of December 31, 1994.
39
<PAGE>
In February 1995, the Company consummated a recapitalization, pursuant to
which each shareholder exchanged 17.398% of the shares of Common Stock held
by such shareholder for an equal number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Messrs. Saladrigas and
Sanchez sold all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Greylock. See
"Principal and Selling Shareholders" and "Shares Eligible for Future
Sale--Registration Rights of Certain Holders."
From time to time Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez have personally
guaranteed Company indebtedness including the $1.2 million subordinated
promissory note issued by the Company in January 1995 in connection with the
Company's repurchase of Common Stock. A portion of the net proceeds of this
offering will be used to repay such indebtedness. See "Use of Proceeds" and
Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, Messrs.
Saladrigas and Sanchez have guaranteed an aggregate of $2.0 million of
indebtedness under the Company's credit facility. These guaranties are also
expected to be terminated in connection with a replacement credit facility
after completion of this offering. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
On the date of this Prospectus, the Company has outstanding 4,956,066
shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, and 165.376 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share. Upon the closing of this
offering, all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be
converted into 1,043,933 shares of Common Stock. In addition, upon the
closing of this offering, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended to date will be further amended and restated (as so
further amended and restated, the "Articles"), to authorize the Company to
issue 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, and 20,000,000
shares of Series Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, and to delete all reference
to the Series A Preferred Stock. The following discussion assumes the
completion of these events and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Articles and the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws"), copies of which are
included as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
is a part.
COMMON STOCK
Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one noncumulative vote
on each proposal or matter on which shareholders of the Company are permitted
to vote, except to the extent otherwise described under the section entitled
"Anti-takeover Provisions of Florida Law" below or as otherwise required by
law. The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when and
if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefore. See "Dividend Policy." Upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, and after distributions with respect to
liquidation preferences, if any, of the Series Preferred Stock, the net
assets of the Company may be distributed to the holders of shares of Common
Stock.
The Common Stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other
subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are
fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued
upon consummation of the offering will be fully paid and nonassessable.
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.
SERIES PREFERRED STOCK
Upon consummation of the offering, the Company will be authorized to issue
20,000,000 shares of Series Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors will have
the authority to issue the Series Preferred Stock from time to time in one or
more series and to establish the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of Series
Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and
the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by the
shareholders. Any shares of Preferred Stock so issued would have priority
over the Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both.
Any future issuance of Series Preferred Stock may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without
further action by the shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and
other rights of the holders of Common Stock. At present, the Company has no
plans to issue any Series Preferred Stock.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF FLORIDA LAW
Florida has enacted legislation that may deter or frustrate takeovers of
Florida corporations. The "Control Share Acquisitions" section of the Florida
Business Corporation Act ("FBCA") generally
41
<PAGE>
provides that shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds,
beginning at 20% of the Company's outstanding voting shares, will not possess
any voting rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority vote
of a corporation's disinterested shareholders. The "Affiliated Transactions"
section of the FBCA generally requires majority approval by disinterested
directors or supermajority approval by disinterested shareholders of certain
specified transactions (such as a merger, consolidation, sale of assets,
issuance or transfer of shares or reclassification of securities) between a
corporation and a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares of
the corporation, or any affiliate of such shareholder.
The directors of the Company are subject to the "general standards for
directors" provisions set forth in the FBCA. These provisions provide that in
discharging his or her duties and determining what is in the best interests
of the Company, a director may consider such factors as the director deems
relevant, including the long-term prospects and interests of the Company and
its shareholders and the social, economic, legal or other effects of any
proposed action on the employees, suppliers or customers of the Company, the
community in which the Company operates and the economy in general.
Consequently, in connection with any proposed action, the Board of Directors
is empowered to consider interests of other constituencies in addition to the
Company's shareholders, and directors who take into account these other
factors may make decisions which are less beneficial to some, or a majority,
of the shareholders than if the law did not permit consideration of such
other factors.
LIMITED LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Under the FBCA, a director is not personally liable for monetary damages
to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or
failure to act unless (i) the director breached or failed to perform his
duties as a director and (ii) the director's breach of, or failure to
perform, those duties constitutes: (1) a violation of the criminal law,
unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (2) a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit,
either directly or indirectly, (3) a circumstance under which an unlawful
distribution is made, (4) in a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a
shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation or
willful misconduct, or (5) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone
other than the corporation or a shareholder, recklessness or an act or
omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a
manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or
property. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred
by him in his capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not
the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability
under the FBCA.
The Articles and Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to time,
indemnify all directors of the Company, as well as any officers or employees
of the Company to whom the Company has agreed to grant indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
The Articles provide that all actions taken by the shareholders must be
taken at an annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders and may not be
effected by any consent in writing by such shareholders. Under the Articles
and Bylaws, special meetings of the shareholders of the Company may be called
by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President, and
shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or Secretary of the Company upon
request of the holders of not less than 50% of the capital stock entitled to
vote on each matter to be considered at such meeting. In order to request or
demand that a special meeting be held for any purpose, a shareholder must
submit a written
42
<PAGE>
notice to the Secretary of the Company requesting that the Board of directors
fix a record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to
request the special meeting. Shareholders are also required to comply with
advance notice provisions with respect to nominations of candidates for
election to the Company's Board of Directors. In order to be timely, a
nomination by a shareholder must be delivered to or mailed and received at
the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 50 days nor more
than 90 days prior to a meeting of shareholders at which an election of
directors is to take place. In the event that less than 60 days' notice or
prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
shareholders, notice by the shareholder will be timely if received not later
than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such
notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was
made. In addition, the Articles and Bylaws provide that directors may be
removed for only cause and by a vote of 80% of the issued and outstanding
shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally for the
election of directors, taken at a duly called annual or special meeting of
the shareholders. The Bylaws may be amended by the Board of Directors or by
the vote of not less than 80% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company,
voting as a single class. These provisions may have the effect of deterring
hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the
Company.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
GENERAL
Upon consummation of this offering, the Company will have 7,999,999 shares
of Common Stock outstanding, of which the 2,200,000 shares offered hereby
will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under
the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by an "affiliate" of the
Company (in general, a person who has a control relationship with the
Company), which shares will be subject to the resale limitations, described
below, of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The remaining
5,799,999 shares are deemed to be "restricted securities," as that term is
defined under Rule 144, in that such shares were issued and sold by the
Company in private transactions not involving a public offering and, as such,
may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities
Act, in compliance with the exemption provisions of Rule 144 or pursuant to
another exemption under the Securities Act. An aggregate of 3,738,750 of such
restricted shares will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 (subject to
certain recurring three-month volume limitations prescribed by Rule 144 and
the lock-up arrangements with the Underwriters described in the following
paragraph) commencing 90 days after this offering, and the balance will
become so eligible at various times commencing thereafter.
All of the existing shareholders of the Company, beneficially holding in
the aggregate 5,799,999 shares of Common Stock upon consummation of this
offering, have agreed with the Underwriters (as hereinafter defined) not to
sell or otherwise dispose of any of those shares of Common Stock for a period
of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the written consent of
Smith Barney Inc., one of the Representatives of the Underwriters. Smith
Barney Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice,
release all or any portion of the securities subject to the Lock-up
Agreements.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, subject to the
satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, including an affiliate of
the Company (or persons whose shares are aggregated with an affiliate), who
has owned restricted shares of Common Stock beneficially for at least two
years is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding
shares of the same class or, if the common stock is quoted on Nasdaq National
Market, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks
preceding the sale. A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for
at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially
owned shares of Common Stock for at least three years is entitled to sell
such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described
above. The Securities and Exchange Commission is currently considering a
proposal to reduce the Rule 144 holding period for restricted securities to
one year.
The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act to register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1995
Plan and the 1996 Plan, thereby permitting the
43
<PAGE>
resale of such shares by non-affiliates in the public market without
restriction under the Securities Act. The Company has reserved up to 666,665
shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 1995 Plan and up to 800,000
shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 1996 Plan. As of April 26,
1996, options to purchase 561,328 and 66,000 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding under the 1995 Plan and the 1996 Plan, respectively. See
"Management--1995 Stock Option Plan," and "--1996 Long Term Incentive Plan."
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that public sales of
shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have
on the market prices of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time.
Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be
sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for
the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability in the future to
raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Subject to the Lock-Up Agreements, upon consummation of the offering,
Greylock, the beneficial holder of 999,999 shares of Common Stock, Carlos A.
Saladrigas, the holder of 1,312,502 shares of Common Stock, the Saladrigas
Family Limited Partnership, the holder of 1,061,250 shares of Common Stock
and Jose M. Sanchez, the holder of 2,373,752 shares of Common Stock, will be
entitled to certain demand and/or incidental registration rights with respect
to such shares of Common Stock (the "Registrable Securities") pursuant to a
registration rights agreement entered into by the Company in February 1995
(the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Such registration rights terminate on
February 10, 2005.
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, any of Mr. Saladrigas, the
Saladrigas Family Partnership, Mr. Sanchez or Greylock may, upon consummation
of the offering, request that the Company file a registration statement under
the Securities Act and, upon such request and subject to certain exceptions,
the Company generally will be required to use its best efforts to effect any
such registration. The Company is generally not required to effect more than
two such requested registrations, although, if the Company is permitted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission to use Form S-3 for the registration
of its securities, those shareholders will have the right to request one such
registration in any twelve-month period.
In addition, if the Company proposes to register any of its own
securities, either for its own account or for the account of other security
holders, the Company is required, with certain exceptions, to notify Messrs.
Saladrigas and Sanchez, the Saladrigas Family Partnership, and Greylock, and,
subject to certain limitations, to include in such registration all of the
shares of Common Stock requested to be included by them. If the underwriter
of any such offering determines, however, that marketing factors require
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then it may exclude
some or all of the shares held by Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez and Greylock
from such registration, on a pro rata basis, provided that no person other
than the Company and Messrs. Saladrigas and Sanchez and Greylock, or certain
permitted transferees of their respective rights, is permitted to include
securities in the offering.
The Company is generally obligated to bear the expenses, other than the
underwriting discounts and sales commissions, of the foregoing registrations.

UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting
Agreement, each of the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") has
severally agreed to purchase, and the Company and the Selling Shareholders
have agreed to sell to such Underwriter, the respective number of shares of
Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter:
NUMBER
UNDERWRITER OF SHARES
----------- ------------
Smith Barney Inc. ....................
Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated ......
Hambrecht & Quist LLC ................
------------
Total .............................. 2,200,000
============
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby are subject to approval of certain legal matters by their
counsel and to certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to
take and pay for all shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than those
covered by the over-allotment option described below) if any such shares are
purchased.
The Underwriters, for whom Smith Barney Inc., Alex. Brown & Sons
Incorporated and Hambrecht & Quist LLC are acting as Representatives (the
"Representatives"), propose to offer part of the shares of Common Stock
directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus and part of the shares to certain dealers at a price
which represents a concession not in excess of $ per share under the
public offering price. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may
reallow, a concession not in excess of $ per share to certain other
dealers. After the initial public offering, the offering price and other
selling terms may be changed by the Representatives. The Representatives of
the Underwriters have advised the Company that the Underwriters do not intend
to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary
authority.
The Selling Shareholders have granted to the Underwriters an option,
exercisable for 30 days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to
an aggregate of 330,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus minus the
underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters may exercise such
option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in
connection with the sale of the shares offered hereby. To the extent such
option is exercised, each Underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of such additional
shares as the number of shares set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in
the preceding table bears to the total number of shares in such table.
45
<PAGE>
The Company and each of its shareholders, who beneficially hold an
aggregate of 5,999,999 shares of Common Stock, have agreed that, for a period
of 180 days following the date of this Prospectus, they will not, without the
prior written consent of Smith Barney Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, or
otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than
shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus) or any securities convertible
into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock of the Company.
Prior to this offering, there has not been any public market for the
Common Stock of the Company. Consequently, the initial public offering price
for the shares of Common Stock included in this offering will be determined
by negotiations between the Company and the Representatives. Among the
factors to be considered in determining such price are the history of and
prospects for the Company's business and the industry in which it competes,
an assessment of the Company's management and the present state of the
Company's development, the past and present revenues and earnings of the
Company, the prospects for the growth of the Company's revenues and earnings,
the current state of the economy in the United States and the current level
of economic activity in the industry in which the Company competes and in
related or comparable industries, and currently prevailing conditions in the
securities markets, including current market valuations of publicly traded
companies that are comparable to the Company.
The Company and Selling Shareholders have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under
the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be
required to make in respect thereof.
LEGAL MATTERS
Steel Hector & Davis LLP, Miami, Florida, has rendered an opinion as to
the validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. Certain legal
matters relating to this offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by
Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen & Quentel, P.A., Miami, Florida.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
The Vincam Group, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of income, of changes in common stock and
other stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Vincam Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

THE VINCAM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995
NOTE 1--NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Vincam Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) are a
professional employer organization (PEO) engaged primarily in the provision
of human resource management and personnel administration services. In
addition, the Company provides certain managed care services, including
managed behavioral health care, employee assistance programs, drug-free
workplace programs, utilization review services, comprehensive workers'
compensation managed care, risk management and loss containment services.
The Company provides PEO services to small and medium sized companies in a
variety of industries, including manufacturing, retail, and hospitality.
Managed care services are provided to PEO clients and to health and workers'
compensation insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, other
managed care providers and large, self insured employers.
PEO service contracts with client companies are generally for one year
terms with automatic renewal options and subject to termination on a 30 days'
notice by either party during the first year and annually thereafter.
Behavioral health care contracts with clients are for terms of one or more
years and are subject to cancellation by either party upon 30 to 180 days'
notice depending on the nature of the services provided.
The Company does not have a concentration of customers in any one
industry; however, during 1994 and 1995, a significant portion of the
Company's revenues were generated in South Florida. The Company's revenues
are generated predominantly by VHR.
A summary of the significant accounting policies followed in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements is
presented below:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The accompanying financial statements include
the accounts of The Vincam Group, Inc. and its principal subsidiaries, Vincam
Human Resources, Inc. (VHR), Psych/Care, Inc. (Psych/Care) and Vincam
Occupational Health Services, Inc. (VOHS). All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues and the related costs of wages, salaries,
and employment taxes from professional employer services related to worksite
employees are recognized in the period in which the employee performs the
service. Because the Company is at risk for all of its direct costs,
independently of whether payment is received from its clients, and consistent
with industry practice, all amounts billed to clients for gross salaries and
wages, related employment taxes, and health care and workers' compensation
coverage are recognized as revenue by the Company. The Company establishes a
reserve for doubtful accounts when it determines that collection from a
client is unlikely.
Revenues from behavioral health services are recognized during the period
in which the Company is obligated to provide behavioral health services to
participants. Risk management, loss containment and workers' compensation
managed care services are recognized in the period in which the services are
performed.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. The more significant estimates relate
to the Company's reserve for claims. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
F-7
<PAGE>
RESERVE FOR CLAIMS. The Company's workers' compensation benefits and
certain of its health care benefits are provided under large deductible
insured plans. The Company records reserves for workers' compensation and
health care claims costs based on actuarial calculations using the Company's
loss history of workers' compensation and health care claims. Prior to 1993,
the Company was fully-insured for health care claims. Prior to 1994, the
Company's workers' compensation insurance was under a loss-sensitive
retrospectively rated plan which provided for retroactive premium adjustments
based on actual loss experience.
In all cases regarding workers' compensation and health care claims,
reserves are established at the time a participant files a claim.
Furthermore, the Company, in determining its reserves, includes reserves for
estimated claims incurred but not reported. The Company records reserves for
estimated behavioral health care costs based on a diagnosis of participants'
needs.
At December 31, 1994 and 1995, the Company has classified as current the
estimated amounts of reserves established for claims expected to be paid
within one year.
The Company's estimates of its claims reserves, including its estimate of
incurred but not reported claims, are based primarily on its loss history.
The ultimate cost of health care (including behavioral health) and workers'
compensation claims will depend on actual costs incurred in settling the
claims and may differ from the amounts reserved by the Company for those
claims.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight line method
over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures which
extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.
ADVERTISING COSTS. Advertising expenditures are charged to operations as
incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $56,124, $333,600 and $386,123 in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
CONTRACT ACQUISITION COSTS. Costs incurred in connection with the
acquisition of client contracts from other professional employer
organizations are capitalized and amortized using the straight line method
over 5 years, the period of non solicitation stipulated in the acquisition
agreement. The Company periodically assesses the status of contracts acquired
to determine the future realizability of the capitalized costs. At December
31, 1995, the Company had recorded contract acquisition costs of $117,440 and
included these amounts in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company has defined cash and cash
equivalents as those highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less.
INCOME TAXES. The Company records income tax expense using the liability
method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under the liability method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and
income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. An allowance is
recorded when it is more likely than not that any or all of a deferred tax
asset will not be realized. The provision for income taxes includes taxes
currently payable plus the net change during the year in deferred tax assets
and liabilities recorded by the Company.
The Company is subject to certain state taxes based on gross receipts,
payroll and taxable income within that state. Taxes based on gross receipts
and payroll are classified as salaries, wages and
F-8
<PAGE>
employment taxes of worksite employees in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income, while taxes based on income are included in the
provision for income taxes.
NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE. Net income per common
and common equivalent share has been computed based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
during each of the three years ended December 31, 1995. The Company has
considered as outstanding common stock equivalents during those years,
627,328 net shares of common stock, after adjusting for the effect of certain
stock splits described below, subject to options awarded to employees and
directors of the Company during 1995 and 1996 prior to the Company's
anticipated initial public offering (see Notes 8 and 13), net of shares
assumed to be reacquired under the treasury stock method. For purposes of the
calculation of net income per share, the mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock is also considered a common stock equivalent.
Net income per common and common equivalent share amounts for each of the
years presented have been calculated giving retroactive effect to an
approximate 8,417 to 1 stock split effected by the Company in June 1995 and a
3 for 4 split effected on February 21, 1996 (jointly, the Stock Splits, see
Notes 7 and 13). All common and common equivalent share amounts have also
been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Splits.
Assuming the Company's contemplated public offering and the related
payment of the subordinated note payable had taken place on January 1, 1995,
the Company would have had net income per common and common equivalent share
of $0.13. Such supplemental net income per common and common equivalent share
is based on the number of shares of Common Stock used in the calculation of
the net income per common and common equivalent share (6,462,092) plus the
number of shares (85,715) required to be sold by the Company to fund the
repayment of the $1.2 million note after giving effect to the interest
savings of $46,683 (net of taxes) for fiscal 1995 resulting from such pro
forma reduction of indebtedness.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, Accounting For Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123). SFAS 123, the
disclosure provisions of which must be implemented for fiscal years beginning
subsequent to December 15, 1995, establishes a fair value based method of
accounting for stock based compensation plans, the effect of which can either
be disclosed or recorded. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123
in 1996. Upon adoption, the Company intends to retain the intrinsic value
method of accounting for stock based compensation, which it currently uses.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The Company's financial instruments
consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities whose fair value
equals their carrying value.
NOTE 2--RESTRICTED CASH
The Company had cash deposits at December 31, 1994 and 1995 in the amount
of $3,230,958 (of which $740,290 were time deposits) and $4,000,000,
respectively, which serve as collateral on certain standby letters of credit
issued in connection with the Company's workers' compensation insurance plan
(see Note 5). These cash deposits have been classified as restricted cash in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Under its prior agreement with its workers' compensation insurance
carrier, the Company was required to deposit in escrow certain amounts as
collateral to guarantee the payment of workers'
F-9
<PAGE>
compensation claims. At December 31, 1994 and 1995, the Company had deposited
in escrow $1,020,000 and $64,040, respectively, and classified these amounts
as restricted cash as of that date. No such escrow deposits are required
under the Company's current agreement with its workers' compensation
insurance carrier.

</TABLE>
The Company incurred interest expense of approximately $56,000, $97,000
and $205,000 during 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
The Company expects to complete an initial public offering during 1996 and
use a portion of the net proceeds to repay the subordinated note payable of
$1,200,000. Accordingly, this obligation has been classified as a current
liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
1995.
In December 1995, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 credit agreement
with a bank (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a
revolving credit facility with a sublimit of $8,000,000 to fund working
capital advances and standby letters of credit. Working capital advances
under the revolving credit facility are limited to the lesser of $1,000,000
or the Borrowing Base, primarily composed of current accounts receivable from
unrelated parties. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility
mature December 31, 1996.
The Credit Agreement also has an acquisition loan facility with a sublimit
of $2,000,000. Draws under the acquisition loan facility are available
through December 31, 1996 and are repayable in 36 equal monthly instalments
from the date of the draw. The Company is charged fees of 1/2% per annum on
any unused portion of the acquisition loan facility.
The Company has received a commitment from the bank to increase the Credit
Agreement to a total amount of $13,000,000, subject to the successful
completion of an initial public offering, of which $5,000,000 would be
available under the acquisition loan facility.
The Credit Agreement is collateralized by $4,000,000 in cash deposits, the
guarantee of the principal shareholders of the Company up to an aggregate of
$2,000,000 and substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit
Agreement contains customary events of default and covenants
F-11
<PAGE>
which prohibit, among others, incurring additional indebtedness in excess of
a specified amount, paying dividends, creating liens and engaging in certain
mergers or combinations without the prior written consent of the lender. The
Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants relating to
current ratio, debt and interest coverage, net worth and other financial
ratios.
Interest under the Credit Agreement accrues at rates based on the prime
rate (Prime) or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at
the Company's option. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility
bear interest at Prime plus 0.5% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5%. Amounts
outstanding under the acquisition loan facility bear interest at Prime plus
1% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 3%.
Under the revolving credit facility, the Company had outstanding
approximately $4,981,000 in standby letters of credit at December 31, 1995
which guarantee the payment of claims to the Company's workers' compensation
insurance carrier. As of that date there were no amounts outstanding under
the working capital advance or under the acquisition loan facilities. All
amounts under these facilities were available at December 31, 1995.
As of December 31, 1995, the scheduled annual maturities of the Company's
long term debt are summarized as follows:
1996 ............. $1,305,362
1997 ............. 112,559
1998 ............. 866,412
1999 ............. 79,888

NOTE 6--MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 500,000 shares of preferred stock with a par
value of $.01 per share. These shares can be issued from time to time, in one
or more series as authorized by the Company's Board of Directors.
During February 1995, the Company and its stockholders entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization whereby the Company's stockholders
exchanged 1,043,933 (after adjusting for the effect of the Stock Splits)
shares of common stock for 165.376 shares of Series A Participating
Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock). The Series A
Preferred Stock has a par value of $.01 per share.
The Series A Preferred Stock is automatically convertible, in the event of
an initial public offering meeting certain price and proceeds requirements,
into 1,043,933 shares of common stock, after adjusting retroactively for the
effects of the Stock Splits (see Note 7). Additionally, the Series A
Preferred Stock is redeemable, at the option of the majority of the preferred
stockholders, for approximately $6,264,000 five years from the date of
issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock is fully participating in the profits
of the Company along with the common stock and has certain liquidation
preferences. The Series A Preferred Stock does not accrue preferred
dividends.
The Series A Preferred Stock has been recorded at $6,263,610 in the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 based on its fair market
value on the date of issuance, as evidenced by the sale
F-12
<PAGE>
of Series A Preferred Stock by the Company's principal stockholders to an
unaffiliated party. Both the fair market value and the costs incurred of
approximately $445,000 in connection with the recapitalization were charged
to retained earnings at the time of the transaction.
NOTE 7--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During June 1995, the Company increased its authorized common stock from
500,000 shares to 39,500,000 shares and simultaneously effected an
approximate 8,417 to 1 stock split. On February 21, 1996, the Company
effected a 3 for 4 reverse stock split (see Note 13). All references in the
financial statements to per share amounts have been retroactively restated to
reflect the change in the number of common shares outstanding as a result of
the Stock Splits.
In connection with the stock split and increase in authorized shares
effected in June 1995, the Company reduced the par value of its common stock
to $.001 from $1.00.
In June 1993, CP Investments, Inc., an entity controlled by the Company's
principal stockholders, assigned to the Company an option which CP
Investments held to purchase, from a third party for $1 million, the land and
building which is owned by the Company and where the Company's headquarters
are located. In October 1993, the Company exercised the option it was
assigned and purchased the land and building. As part of the assignment of
the option, CP Investments retained the right to purchase the land and
building from the Company for $1,000,000 for a ten year period.
Based on two independent appraisals of the land and building subject to
the previously described option, the Company valued the option at $700,000
(based on the difference between the market value of the building and its
November 1993 purchase price) and recorded a distribution to its principal
stockholders in June 1993. Because the transaction was entered into between
commonly controlled entities, the value of the option was not considered
additional basis in the building. Amounts due in connection with this
distribution have been recorded as distribution payable in the accompanying
balance sheets.
As part of the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization (see Note 6), the
principal stockholders and majority preferred stockholders signed an
agreement whereby, in the event of an initial public offering, the Company
would repurchase for $700,000 in cash (the amount of the distribution payable
recorded in 1993) CP Investments' option to purchase the Company's land and
building.
Because the Company expects to complete an initial public offering in
1996, the $700,000 distribution payable has been recorded as a current
liability in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1995.
In January 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to reacquire
certain of its outstanding shares from a minority shareholder. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company acquired and canceled 249,342 shares of
its common stock, after adjusting for the effect of the Stock Splits, for
$300,000 in cash and a subordinated note for $1,200,000 (see Note 5).
Simultaneously, the Company's principal shareholders acquired 66,281
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, after adjusting for the
effect of the Stock Splits, for $400,000.
NOTE 8--STOCK OPTION PLAN
During May 1995, the Company adopted The Vincam Group 1995 Stock Option
Plan (the Plan) under which it has reserved for issuance 666,665 shares of
common stock, after adjusting for the effect
F-13
<PAGE>
of the Stock Splits. Options under the Plan may qualify as "incentive stock
options" in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. Shares are also
available for distribution under the Plan pursuant to options which do not so
qualify. Under the Plan, incentive stock options can be granted to eligible
officers and key employees at not less than the fair market value of the
shares at the date of grant of the option. The Plan permits the issuance of
nonqualified stock options at exercise prices not less than 85% of the fair
market value of the shares at the date of grant of the option.
In July, November and December 1995, the Company granted to certain
employees and a director, options to acquire 431,663, 16,666 and 66,666
shares, respectively, of common stock. The options granted in July were at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share, while the November and December grants
were at $3.33 per share, after adjusting for the effect of the Stock Splits.
The exercise price of each option was determined based on the estimated fair
market value of the underlying shares at the time of grant, based on
independent appraisals. These options are exercisable, as they vest, at
varying amounts over a five year period from the date of grant. Inasmuch as
the exercise prices were the same as the fair values of the underlying shares
at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors based on
independent appraisals, no compensation expense has been recorded in
connection with the granting of the options.
During January 1996, the Company awarded under the Plan options to acquire
16,666 shares of its common stock at $4.67 per share to an employee, after
adjusting for the effect of the Stock Splits. See Note 13.
At December 31, 1995, all options granted during the year were still
outstanding.
NOTE 9--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has amounts due from affiliates at December 31, 1994 of
$110,534 and $101,095 in 1995 which have been included in other current
assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Amounts due from affiliates have
no specific repayment terms and do not bear interest. These balances
represent primarily current activity between the Company and an affiliate
and, accordingly, have been classified as current in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
In June 1993, the Company entered into a building management agreement
with CP Investments for the maintenance of the Company's building. The
agreement calls for annual management fees of 20% of the building's market
rent. It is the intention of management to terminate the agreement with CP
Investments upon the consummation of an initial public offering. In 1993,
1994 and 1995, the Company recorded $42,000, $41,000 and $40,000,
respectively, in connection with this agreement.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had unsecured notes receivable of
$123,078 from its principal stockholders, maturing on December 31, 1997,
which bore interest at 7% per annum. The balance of these notes was repaid in
February 1995. Accordingly, the amounts have been included as a current asset
under due from affiliates at December 31, 1994.

NOTE 10--INCOME TAXES
The provision for federal and state income taxes consists of the
following:
1993 1994 1995
---------- ---------- ----------

573,739 (280,864) (18,777)
-------- ---------- --------
Provision for income taxes $704,237 $ 933,049 $469,223
======== ========== ========
Subsequent to December 31, 1994, the Company requested a change, for
income tax purposes, in the method of accounting for its workers'
compensation loss reserves. As a result, the Company recorded a deferred tax
asset relating to the reserves and an increase in income taxes payable of
approximately $1,386,000. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC), once the change is formally approved, the Company can amortize over
three years the payment of taxes due for changes resulting in taxable income
and can recognize currently deductions resulting from the change in method.
The Company has classified as long term those taxes resulting from this
change which it expects to pay in more than one year.
The gross amounts of deferred tax assets recorded in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1995 are as follows:
1994 1995
----------- -----------
Current deferred tax assets:
Allowance for doubtful accounts ........ $ 28,814 $ 59,361
Accrued health care claims .............. 133,764 222,422
Preoperating costs ...................... 154,210 --
Reserve for workers' compensation claims 374,000 403,580
Deferred compensation ................... -- 89,420
-------- --------
$690,788 $774,783
======== ========
Long term deferred tax assets:
Deferred compensation ................... $189,471 $100,062
Reserve for workers' compensation claims 319,336 343,527
Other ................................... 7,940 7,940
-------- --------
$516,747 $451,529
======== ========
Realization of the above deferred tax assets is dependent on generating
sufficient taxable income in the future to offset the deductible temporary
differences generating the deferred tax assets. Although realization is not
assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that all of the
deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future
taxable income are reduced.

A reconciliation of the differences between income taxes computed at the
federal statutory tax rate and the income tax provisions reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income is as follows:
1993 1994 1995
----------- ---------- -----------
Income taxes computed at the federal
statutory tax rate of 34% ......... $695,488 $929,219 $434,880
State income taxes, net of federal
income tax effect ................. 6,600 16,500 13,200
Other, net .......................... 2,149 (12,670) 21,143
-------- -------- --------
Provision for income taxes .......... $704,237 $933,049 $469,223

NOTE 11--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a defined contribution plan covering certain of its
worksite employees for a number of client companies. The Company contributes,
on behalf of each participating client, varying amounts based on client
company elections. Total Company contributions for the years ended December
31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $314,271, $416,922 and $550,776, respectively.
The Company does not currently include its administrative employees in its
defined contribution plan.
The Company has requested a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) regarding the qualified status of its defined contribution plan
under Section 401(k) of the IRC. The IRS may assert certain issues regarding
the employer status of the Company in connection with its 401(k) plan. A
determination by the IRS that the Company is not the employer of its worksite
employees under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, could ultimately lead to the disallowance, as tax deductions, of the
Company's contributions under the 401(k) plan, could cause the plan trust to
be deemed to be a taxable trust and could result in the assessment of
penalties. Although the Company has not received the determination letter
from the IRS, management believes that the Company's defined contribution
plan complies with the provisions of the Section 401(k) of the IRC and as
such can be considered qualified under such provisions.
The Company sponsors an unfunded deferred compensation plan (the Deferred
Plan). The Deferred Plan covers a selected group of employees as determined
by the Company's Board of Directors. The amounts due under the Deferred Plan
are based on bonuses granted by the Board of Directors, at its discretion at
each year end for that year's performance by the employee. Based on the
awards granted, the Company recorded compensation expense of $253,100 and
$41,200 during 1993 and 1994, respectively. No deferred compensation expense
was recognized in 1995.
The amount of compensation subject to the Deferred Plan and the vesting
period for individual grants, or any changes thereto, is established by the
Company's Board of Directors. Deferred compensation amounts generally vest at
the end of three years from the date of award, provided the participant is
employed by the Company on such date. At December 31, 1995 the vesting
schedule under the Plan is as follows:
1996 .......... $263,000
1997 .......... 253,100
1998 .......... 41,200
--------
$557,300
========
F-16
<PAGE>
The Company has included these amounts within other liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheets as short term or long term based on the
applicable vesting dates. Of the above amounts, approximately $400,000 at
December 31, 1995, relate to deferred compensation to the Company's principal
stockholders. All deferred compensation is expected to be paid in cash.
NOTE 12--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has entered into non compete agreements with its Chairman and
Vice-Chairman, who are also the Company's principal stockholders. The
agreements are for a term to be specified by the Company, not to exceed two
years, in the event of the Chairman's or Vice-Chairman's termination. The non
compete agreements require payment to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of their
full salary and benefits during the term of the agreement.
In addition, the Company, under a separate agreement, has agreed to pay
its principal shareholders a minimum annual cash compensation of $250,000
each. Upon termination of their employment, the principal shareholders are
entitled to a severance package of one full year of base salary and the
payment of certain other benefits for up to two years. The provisions of this
agreement will terminate upon completion of an initial public offering.
As disclosed in Note 5, the Company has certain capitalized lease
obligations relating to computer hardware and software. At December 31, 1995,
aggregate future minimum lease payments under the capitalized lease
obligations are as follows:
1996 .................................... $ 89,749
1997 ................................... 89,749
1998 ................................... 89,749
1999 ................................... 89,749
2000 ................................... 37,395
--------
Total minimum lease payments ........... $396,391
Amount representing imputed interest .. (85,789)
--------
Present value of minimum lease payments $310,602
========
The Company leases certain office space, automobiles and office equipment
under non-cancelable operating leases expiring on various dates through the
year 2000. Total rent expense charged to operations during the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 was $200,100, $177,900 and $270,900,
respectively.
At December 31, 1995, the minimum annual rental commitments under the
previously described operating leases are as follows:
FOR THE YEAR ENDING

The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit related to a wrongful death claim
involving a worksite employee. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $10
million. The Company is asserting that its liability under this claim, if
any, should be limited to the State of Florida's workers' compensation limit
of $100,000 involving worksite deaths. The case is in its preliminary stages
of investigation. However, based on consultations with the Company's counsel,
management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation.
The Company is also involved in other legal and administrative proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of these actions are
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operation.
See also Notes 1 and 4.
NOTE 13--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 21, 1996, the Company effected a 3 for 4 reverse stock split.
All references in the Financial Statements to per share amounts have been
retroactively restated to reflect the change in the number of common shares
outstanding as a result of this reverse stock split (see Note 7).
On March 6, 1996, in connection with the wrongful death claim described in
Note 12, the claims against the officers of the Company and the client
company were dismissed, and discovery in the proceedings was stayed pending
the Court's determination of whether the plaintiff adequately stated a cause
of action against the Company and its client, which is a co-defendant.
On March 8, 18, 25 and April 18, 1996, the Company issued options to
certain employees and directors to acquire an aggregate of 112,333 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $8.05 per share. On April 26, 1996,
options to purchase 16,666 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$3.00 per share were forfeited by an employee. The Company has considered the
net number of options issued during the one-year period prior to its
contemplated initial public offering to be common stock equivalents for
purposes of its per share calculations for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE 14--PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)
The pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 presents the pro forma
effect of the conversion of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock into
1,043,933 shares of common stock as of that date. As disclosed in Note 6, the
Series A Preferred Stock is automatically convertible in the event of an
initial public offering meeting certain price and proceeds requirements.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
FLORIDA BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT. Section 607.0850(1) of the Florida
Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA") provides that a Florida corporation,
such as the Company, shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or
is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of,
the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability incurred in
connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.
Section 607.0850(2) of the FBCA provides that a Florida corporation shall
have the power to indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee,
or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses and
amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of
directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion,
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall
be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this
subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that,
the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of
competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
such court shall deem proper.
Section 607.0850 of the FBCA further provides that: (i) to the extent that
a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in
subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any proceeding referred to
in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; (ii) indemnification
provided pursuant to Section 607.0850 is not exclusive; and (iii) the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or
officer of the corporation against any
II-1
<PAGE>
liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 607.0850.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA provides that
indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf
of any director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final
adjudication establishes that his actions, or omissions to act, were material
to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (a) a violation of the
criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the director, officer,
employee or agent derived an improper personal benefit; (c) in the case of a
director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions regarding
unlawful distributions are applicable; or (d) willful misconduct or a
conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding
by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or
in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
Section 607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a director of a Florida
corporation is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation
or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act,
regarding corporate management or policy, by a director, unless: (a) the
director breached or failed to perform his duties as a director; and (b) the
director's breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (1) a
violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful; (2) a transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly; (3) a circumstance
under which the liability provisions regarding unlawful distributions are
applicable; (4) in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a shareholder,
conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful
misconduct; or (5) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than
the corporation or a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which
was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner
exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.
ARTICLES AND BYLAWS. Article XI of the Company's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation and Article VIII of the Company's Amended and
Restated Bylaws (each to be filed prior to consummation of the offering)
provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify all directors of the Company, as well as any officers or employees
of the Company to whom the Company has agreed to grant indemnification.
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT. Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement,
the proposed form of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, which provides for
indemnification by the Underwriters of directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act, under certain circumstances.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions
described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
or 497 (h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required
by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
