NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Principles Of Consolidation And Organization


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SFBC International, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, South Florida Kinetics, Inc. (“SFBC Miami”), Clinical Pharmacology International, Inc. (“CPI”), SFBC New Drug Services, Inc., SFBC Ft. Myers, Inc., SFBC Analytical Laboratories, Inc., SFBC Taylor Technology, Inc., SFBC Canada Inc., Anapharm Inc., SFBC New Drug Services Canada, Inc. (“NDS Canada”) (formerly Danapharm Clinical Research Inc.), 11190 Biscayne LLC (the holding company which owns the SFBC Miami property), and Synfine Research Inc. Additionally, the Company, through SFBC Europe B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns 49% of a joint venture, SFBC An apharm Europe S.L. (“Anapharm Europe”) which operates a bioanalytical laboratory in Barcelona, Spain, which commenced operations in November 2003. The accounts of this joint venture are included in the Company’s consolidated accounts. The minority interest represents the 51% non-controlling interest in Anapharm Europe held by third parties. All financial information presented in this report relating to Canadian and European subsidiaries has been converted to United States dollars. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


For the period January 1, 2003 through July 6, 2003, Anapharm owned a 49% interest in NDS Canada located in London, Ontario Canada. For this period, NDS Canada’s results, which were not material, were reported using the equity method of accounting. On July 7, 2003, Anapharm purchased the remaining 51% interest of NDS Canada and accordingly, since July 7, 2003, the operations of NDS Canada have been included in the consolidated results of the Company. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


On August 4, 2003, the Company acquired CPI, which owns real estate, and Clinical Pharmacology of Florida, Inc. (“Clinical Pharmacology”), merging Clinical Pharmacology into SFBC Miami. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


On July 25, 2004 the Company acquired Taylor Technology, Inc., based in Princeton, NJ.  See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “SFBC International,” “SFBC,” or the “Company” refer to SFBC International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and predecessors as a combined entity.


Basis Of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remaining quarter and for the year end ing December 31, 2004.



5



Effective as of the close of business on May 19, 2004 we effected a three-for-two stock split. All historical earnings per share numbers, references to numbers of shares outstanding, references to our shares of common stock used in acquisitions, and other references appearing in this Report have been retroactively adjusted as required by applicable accounting standards, except where we disclose that no adjustment has been made. In addition, we have increased our authorized number of shares of common stock to 40,000,000 from 20,000,000. This increase was approved by our stockholders on June 21, 2004.


Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes which appear in that Report. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.


The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to our financial statements. Management continually evaluates its estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.


Net Earnings Per Share


The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which requires dual presentation of net earnings per share; Basic and Diluted. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Included in diluted shares are common stock equivalents relating to stock options with a dilutive effect of 618,669 and 696,205 shares of common stock for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 837,014 and 798,813 shares of common stock for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003.

Stock Based Compensation


At September 30, 2004, the Company had one stock based compensation plan and had entered into a limited number of stock option agreements, which have been disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and its Proxy Statement for the 2004 Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the options. The Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below had compensation cost for the stock option plans and non-qualified options issued to employees been det ermined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123.
