Reserve for Vacant Facilities
During fiscal 2002, we concluded that we would not occupy two vacant leased buildings in Mountain View, California and that we would be unable to recover a substantial portion of our lease obligations by subleasing the vacant space. In that period, we recorded a $13.2 million reserve that was equal to the remaining future lease commitments for these facilities, net of estimated future sublease income. During fiscal 2003, we decided that based on corporate growth requirements and the current real estate market in the San Francisco Bay Area, we would reoccupy one of the two vacant buildings and that the reserve for the other vacant building should be increased to reflect our revised estimate of future sublease income for that facility. We recorded a net adjustment of $0.5 million to the reserve that, along with the reversal of reserves related to various smaller facilities, resulted in a total credit for vacant facilities of $1.1 million on our statement of operations in fiscal 2003. During fiscal 2004, based on the current real estate market in the San Francisco Bay Area, we recorded a $0.7 million increase to the reserve for the remaining Mountain View building to reflect our revised estimate of future sublease income for that facility. Our actual future cash payments may exceed the total Mountain View reserve balance at July 31, 2004 by a maximum
of $1.9 million if we are unable to sublease the remaining reserved Mountain View property. The lease related to this facility ends in fiscal 2010.
Activity in this reserve for vacant facilities during fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004 was as follows:

CBS Employer Services Acquisition Accrual
We acquired CBS Employer Services, Inc. in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. See Note 7. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded a total accrual of $26.4 million that included $21.6 million for purchase price deferrals and $4.8 million for restructuring and transaction costs. In fiscal 2003 we reduced the restructuring accrual by $3.4 million and reduced the goodwill related to this acquisition by the same amount to reflect revisions to our restructuring plan. Activity in this reserve during fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004 was as follows:
