Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share

NOTE 3· Net Income Per Share

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are deemed to be participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share ("EPS") pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Performance stock shares granted to employees under the Company's Performance Stock Plan and the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock.

Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares (including participating securities) issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding, plus equivalent shares assuming the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of stock options is computed by application of the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the impact of outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock of 12,000 and 1,457,000 shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no anti-dilutive shares. The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements	NOTE 4· New Accounting Pronouncements International Accounting Standards — International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") are a set of standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is currently considering a potential IFRS adoption process in the United States which could, in the near term, provide domestic issuers with an alternative accounting method and which could ultimately replace U.S. GAAP reporting requirements with IFRS reporting requirements. We are monitoring the developments toward possible allowable conversion to IFRS and will consider, if and when, conversion becomes acceptable. We do not expect that to occur in 2011. Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This authoritative guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. This authoritative guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Except for presentation requirements, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its Financial Statements.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of changes in accounting principles, including adoption of new accounting pronouncements, that describes the new methods, amount and effects on financial statement line items.

NOTE 5· Business Combinations

Acquisitions in 2011

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Brown & Brown acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of 22 insurance intermediaries, the stock of one insurance intermediary and several books of business (customer accounts). The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was $114,108,000, including $90,417,000 of cash payments, the issuance of notes payable of $550,000, the assumption of $9,326,000 of liabilities, and $13,815,000 of recorded earn-out payables. All of these acquisitions were acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown's core businesses and to attract and hire high-quality individuals. Acquisition purchase prices are typically based on a multiple of average annual operating profit earned over a one- to three-year period, within a minimum and maximum price range. The recorded purchase prices for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 include an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations are recorded in the consolidated statement of income when incurred.

The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business's future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management, and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and/or profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared with the associated financial projections. These payments are then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the likelihood that the forecasted earn-out payments will be made.

All of these acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and are as follows:

Acquisitions in 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Brown & Brown acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ten insurance intermediaries and several books of business (customer accounts). The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was $43,749,000, including $33,262,000 of cash payments, the issuance of notes payable of $175,000, the assumption of $1,211,000 of liabilities, and $9,101,000 of recorded earn-out payables. All of these acquisitions were acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown's core businesses and to attract and hire high-quality individuals. Acquisition purchase prices are typically based on a multiple of average annual operating profit earned over a one- to three-year period, within a minimum and maximum price range. The recorded purchase prices for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 include an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations will be recorded in the consolidated statement of income when incurred.

The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business's future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management for the acquired business and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and/or profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared with the associated financial projections. These payments are then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the likelihood that the forecasted earn-out payments will be made.

All of these acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and are as follows:


(in thousands)
Name	Business Segment		2010 Date of Acquisition		Cash Paid		Note Payable		Recorded Earn-out Payable		Recorded Purchase Price		Maximum Potential Earn-out Payable

For acquisitions consummated prior to January 1, 2009, additional consideration paid to sellers as a result of purchase price "earn-out" provisions are recorded as adjustments to intangible assets when the contingencies are settled. The net additional consideration paid by the Company in 2011 as a result of these adjustments totaled $1,019,000, all of which was allocated to goodwill. Of the $1,019,000 net additional consideration paid, $362,000 was paid in cash and $657,000 was issued as a note payable.

As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of the estimated earn-out payables for the three and six months was re-evaluated and reduced by $719,000 and $1,556,000, respectively, which resulted in a credit to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Additionally, the interest expense accretion, related to the earn-out payables, to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, was $461,000 and $186,000, respectively. The interest expense accretion, related to the earn-out payables, to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, was $877,000 and $327,000, respectively. .As of June 30, 2011, the estimated earn-out payables equaled $41,913,000, of which $8,410,000 was recorded as current liabilities and $33,503,000 was recorded as non-current liabilities.

NOTE 8· Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, consisted of the following:


(in thousands)	2011			2010
Unsecured senior notes	$	250,000		$	250,000
Acquisition notes payable		1,691			1,729

Less current portion		(1,624	)		(1,662	)

Long-term debt	$	250,067		$	250,067

In July 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $200.0 million of unsecured senior notes (the "Notes"). The $200.0 million is divided into two series: (1) Series A, which closed on September 15, 2004, for $100.0 million due in 2011 and bearing interest at 5.57% per year; and (2) Series B, which closed on July 15, 2004, for $100.0 million due in 2014 and bearing interest at 6.08% per year. Brown & Brown has used the proceeds from the Notes for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and repayment of existing debt. As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, there was an outstanding balance of $200.0 million on the Notes.

On December 22, 2006, the Company entered into a Master Shelf and Note Purchase Agreement (the "Master Agreement") with a national insurance company (the "Purchaser"). The Purchaser also purchased Notes issued by the Company in 2004. The Master Agreement provides for a $200.0 million private uncommitted "shelf" facility for the issuance of senior unsecured notes over a three-year period, with interest rates that may be fixed or floating and with such maturity dates, not to exceed ten years, as the parties may determine. The Master Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default similar to the Notes issued in 2004. The initial issuance of notes under the Master Agreement occurred on December 22, 2006, through the issuance of $25.0 million in Series C Senior Notes due December 22, 2016, with a fixed interest rate of 5.66% per year. On February 1, 2008, $25.0 million in Series D Senior Notes due January 15, 2015, with a fixed interest rate of 5.37% per year, were issued. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was an outstanding balance of $50.0 million under the Master Agreement.

On January 21, 2011, the Company entered into a Confirmation of Acceptance (the "Confirmation") in connection with the Master Agreement in which the Company agreed to issue to the Purchaser and certain of the Purchaser's affiliates an aggregate of $100.0 million principal amount of unsecured Series E Senior Notes due September 15, 2018, with a fixed interest rate of 4.5% per year. The closing and funding date for the unsecured Series E Senior Notes is identified as September 15, 2011, in order to correspond with the maturity date of the Series A Notes. In accordance with ASC Topic 470 – Debt, the Company has classified the related principal balance of the Series A Senior Notes as long-term debt as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, as the Company has both the intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis, as evidenced by the Confirmation.

On June 12, 2008, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement dated as of June 3, 2008 (the "Loan Agreement") with a national banking institution, amending and restating the existing Revolving Loan Agreement dated September 29, 2003, as amended (the "Revolving Agreement"), to increase the lending commitment to $50.0 million (subject to potential increases up to $100.0 million) and to extend the maturity date from December 20, 2011, to June 3, 2013. The Revolving Agreement initially provided for a revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $75.0 million. After a series of amendments that provided covenant exceptions for the Notes issued or to be issued under the Master Agreement and relaxed or deleted certain other covenants, the maximum principal amount was reduced to $20.0 million. The calculation of interest and fees is generally based on the Company's quarterly ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation. Interest is charged at a rate equal to 0.50% to 1.00% above the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") or 1.00% below the base rate, each as more fully defined in the Loan Agreement. Fees include an upfront fee, an availability fee of 0.10% to 0.20%, and a letter of credit usage fee of 0.50% to 1.00%. The Loan Agreement contains various covenants, limitations, and events of default customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers. The 90-day LIBOR was 0.246% and 0.300% as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. There were no borrowings against this facility at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

All of these credit agreements require Brown & Brown to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain other covenants. Brown & Brown was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

Acquisition notes payable represent debt incurred to sellers of certain insurance operations acquired by the Company. These notes and future contingent payments are payable in monthly, quarterly and annual installments through July 2013, including interest at stated rates ranging from 0.0% to 4.0%.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

NOTE 10· Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

The Company is involved in numerous pending or threatened proceedings by or against Brown & Brown, Inc. or one or more of its subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business. The damages that may be claimed against the Company in these various proceedings are in some cases substantial, including in many instances claims for punitive or extraordinary damages. Some of these claims and lawsuits have been resolved, others are in the process of being resolved and others are still in the investigation or discovery phase. The Company will continue to respond appropriately to these claims and lawsuits and to vigorously protect its interests.

Although the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be ascertained and liabilities in indeterminate amounts may be imposed on Brown & Brown, Inc. or its subsidiaries, on the basis of present information, availability of insurance and legal advice, it is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. However, as (i) one or more of the Company's insurance companies could take the position that portions of these claims are not covered by the Company's insurance, (ii) to the extent that payments are made to resolve claims and lawsuits, applicable insurance policy limits are eroded, and (iii) the claims and lawsuits relating to these matters are continuing to develop, it is possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by unfavorable resolutions of these matters.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Policy)	Jun. 30, 2011
New Accounting Pronouncements
International Accounting Standards	International Accounting Standards — International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") are a set of standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is currently considering a potential IFRS adoption process in the United States which could, in the near term, provide domestic issuers with an alternative accounting method and which could ultimately replace U.S. GAAP reporting requirements with IFRS reporting requirements. We are monitoring the developments toward possible allowable conversion to IFRS and will consider, if and when, conversion becomes acceptable. We do not expect that to occur in 2011.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This authoritative guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. This authoritative guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Except for presentation requirements, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its Financial Statements.
