REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees

Brown & Brown, Inc. Employee Savings Plan and Trust

Daytona Beach, Florida

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Brown & Brown, Inc. Employee Savings Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in the net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2012 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012

 

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the Brown & Brown, Inc. Employee Savings Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Substantially all employees who are at least 18 years of age and who are expected to complete a year of service (1,000 hours) are eligible to participate in the Plan effective the first full payroll period after one month of service. The Plan is intended to assist Brown & Brown, Inc. and its U. S. subsidiaries (the “Employer”) in its efforts to attract and retain competent employees by enabling eligible employees to share in the profits of the Employer and to supplement retirement income. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Benefit Payments—Benefits under the Plan are payable upon normal (after age 65) or early (after age 59-1/2) retirement, death, disability, severe financial hardship, or termination of service and are based on the vested balance in the participant’s account. Distributions of vested account balances will be made in the form of a single lump-sum payment or in some other optional form of payment, as defined in the Plan. If the participant’s vested account is $5,000 or less, the participant will be prompted to distribute his or her funds to another qualified plan in a timely fashion or be subject to an immediate lump-sum distribution.

Administration—The Plan is administered by a designated Plan Administrator (the “Administrator”), which has been appointed by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Employer. Information about the Plan document, such as provisions for allocations to participants’ accounts, vesting, benefits, and withdrawals, is contained in the Summary Plan Description. Copies of this document are available on the employee benefits Web site accessible to employees of the Employer or from the Administrator. Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc (“Schwab”) serves as the recordkeeper of the Plan and Charles Schwab Trust Company, a division of Charles Schwab Bank (the “Trustee”) serves as the trustee of the Plan.

Administrative Expenses—All investment-related expenses are charged against Plan earnings or are paid by the Plan. All other expenses are paid by the Employer.

Contributions—Participants may elect to contribute, subject to certain limitations, any percentage of annual compensation as contributions to the Plan, up to the allowable limits specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The Employer makes matching contributions to the Plan of 100% of each participant’s contribution, not to exceed 2.5% of each participant’s eligible compensation on a pay-period basis. The Plan permits the Board of Directors of the Employer to authorize discretionary profit-sharing contributions allocated to participants based on eligible compensation. The Board authorized a discretionary profit-sharing contribution of 1.5% of eligible compensation, up to a maximum of $250,000 for all eligible employees for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Vesting—Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Employer matching contributions and discretionary profit-sharing contributions are based on years of credited service and are subject to the following vesting schedule:

 

Years of Credited Service

   Vested
Interest
 

Less than 1

     0

2

     40

     60

     80   

5 or more

     100   

Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are used to offset Plan expenses and to reduce future Employer contributions. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, forfeited amounts available to offset future Employer contributions were approximately $371,000 and $342,000, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately $424,000 of forfeited amounts was used to offset Employer contributions.

Table of Contents

Investment Income and Expenses—Each participant’s account shall be allocated the investment income and expenses of each fund based on the value of each participant’s account invested in each fund, in proportion to the total value of all accounts in each fund, taking into account any contributions to or distributions from the participant’s account in each fund. General expenses of the Plan not paid by the Employer and not attributable to any particular fund shall be allocated among participants’ accounts in proportion to the value of each account, taking into consideration each participant’s contributions and distributions.

The agreement between the Trustee and the Plan includes a revenue sharing arrangement whereby the Trustee shares revenue generated by the Plan in excess of their fee. These deposits are included in the other income amount in the statement of changes to net assets available for benefits. These funds are used to pay other plan expenses with any remaining amounts being reallocated to participants. During 2012, revenue of approximately $199,000 was deposited into the plan related to this revenue sharing arrangement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately $227,000 and $150,000, respectively, was available to be reallocated or pay plan expenses. During 2012, Plan expenses of approximately $128,000 were paid by these funds.

Participant Loans—A participant may borrow from his or her own account a minimum of $1,000, up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance. Participants may not have more than two loans outstanding at any time. Loans, which are repayable each pay period for periods ranging generally up to five years, are collateralized by a security interest in the borrower’s vested account balance. The loans bear interest at the rate of prime plus 1%, determined at the time the loan is approved. As of December 31, 2012, interest rates ranged from 4.25% to 9.25%.

Plan Termination—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer may terminate the Plan at any time, either wholly or partially, by notice in writing to the participants and the Trustee. Upon termination, the rights of participants in their accounts will become 100% vested. The Employer may temporarily discontinue contributions to the Plan, either wholly or partially, without terminating the Plan.

 

2. USE OF ESTIMATES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates—The preparation of 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 net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Accounting—The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation of Investments—The Plan’s investments in money market funds, mutual funds, Employer common stock, and the personal choice retirement account, which includes investments in mutual funds and common stock, are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices at year-end. The fair value of the pooled separate accounts is based upon the value of the underlying assets as determined by the Trustee’s valuation. The contract value of participation units owned in the pooled separate accounts are based on quoted redemption values, as determined by the Trustee, on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Plan invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held in the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund G as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Investment contracts held in a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under terms of the Plan. The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of these investment contracts as well as their adjustment from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Fair Value Measurements—The Plan adopted a fair value measurement method that establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Risks and Uncertainties—Investments—The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in US generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change principles included in the original Accounting Standard. In addition, this update required additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have any material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

4. INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

As of December 31, 2012, contributions to the Plan are invested in one or more of various investment fund options, including money market funds, mutual funds and Employer Company stock, at the direction of each participant. The Plan also allows participants to invest in the Charles Schwab & Co. Personal Choice Retirement Account, which enables each participant to self-direct his or her money into a full range of investment options, including individual stocks and bonds, as well as allowing access to over 800 additional mutual funds. The Charles Schwab & Co. Personal Choice Retirement Account is presented as “self-directed investments” in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits.

One investment in the Plan is a guaranteed pooled separate account managed by Wells Fargo Bank called the Stable Return Fund G (the “Stable Return Fund”), which invests in a variety of investment contracts such as guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions and other investment products (such as separate account contracts and synthetic GICs) with similar characteristics. The Stable Return Fund investment in each contract is presented at fair value. The fair value of a GIC is based on the present value of future cash flows using the current discount rate. The fair value of a security-backed contract includes the value of the underlying securities and the value of the wrapper contract. The fair value of a wrapper contract provided by a security-backed contract issuer is the present value of the difference between the current wrapper fee and the contracted wrapper fee.

An adjustment is made to the fair value in the statement of net assets available for benefits to present the investment at contract value. Contract value is based upon contributions made under the contract, plus interest credited, less participant withdrawals. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is effective for a 12-month period and is set annually. The crediting interest rate is determined based on (i) the projected market yield-to-maturity of the market value of assets, net of expenses, (ii) the timing and amounts of deposits, transfers, and withdrawals expected to be made during the interest crediting period, and (iii) the amortization of the difference between the fair value of the pooled separate account and the balance of the Stable Return Fund. The crediting interest rate for the Stable Return Fund for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was 1.95% and 2.33%, respectively. The average yield for the Stable Return Fund for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was 0.94% and 1.56%, respectively.

There is no event that limits the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. There are also no events or circumstances that would allow the issuer to terminate the fully benefit-responsive investment contract with the Plan and settle at an amount different from contract value.

5. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

The Plan’s investments include Brown & Brown, Inc. common stock which represent party-in-interest transactions that qualify as exempt prohibited transactions. In addition, certain Plan investments pertain to the Charles Schwab & Co. Personal Choice Retirement Account. As Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. serves as the recordkeeper of the Plan and as Charles Schwab Trust Company serves as the trustee of the Plan, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

 

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

Effective July 1, 2009, the sponsor adopted the 401(k) non-standardized prototype plan sponsored by the Charles Schwab Company. Prior to January 1, 2011, the Plan was entitled to limited reliance on the opinion letter received by Schwab from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to compliance with the form requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”). Effective January 1, 2011, the Plan was amended and restated as an individually-designed plan with a portion of the Plan designated as an employee stock ownership plan, and the Plan was subsequently amended in December 2011 to expand the Plan’s rollover provisions. An application for a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service is pending. The Plan’s management believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the IRC.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Plan is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011. There are no known adjustments as of June 28, 2013. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.
