NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Reporting
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and do not include
certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion
of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance
sheet shown in this report as of December 31, 2000 has been derived from, and
does not include, all the disclosures contained in the financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2000. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 - Other Contingencies
The Company has an $18,000,000 bank line of credit under which it may
draw to meet short-term liquidity requirements or for other purposes, that
expires on September 30, 2002. Amounts drawn under the line are payable upon
demand. At both September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, there were no
borrowings under the line. However, at such dates, the Company had outstanding
approximately $13,000,000 of irrevocable standby letters of credit, which relate
to payment obligations under the Company's insurance program. As a result of the
letters of credit issued, the amount available under the line was reduced by
approximately $13,000,000 at both September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.
The Company is also involved in miscellaneous claims and litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that these
matters, taken individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Federal legislation enacted in August 1997 changed Medicare policy in a
number of ways, most notably the phasing in, effective July 1, 1998, of a
Medicare Prospective Payment System ("PPS") for skilled nursing facilities which
significantly changed the manner and the amounts of reimbursement they receive.
The Company's clients have been adversely affected by PPS, as well as other
trends in the long-term care industry resulting in certain of the Company's
clients filing for bankruptcy. Others may follow. These factors, in addition to
delays in payments from clients, have resulted in and could result in
significant additional bad debts in the near future.

Note 3 - Segment Information
The Company provides housekeeping, laundry, linen, facility maintenance
and food services to the healthcare industry. Although there are several service
categories, the Company considers its business to consist of one reportable
operating segment, by reason of the similarities of the economic characteristics
of such services, the methods of delivering such services and the commonality of
the overall client base. Although the Company does provide services in Canada,
essentially all of its revenue and net income, approximately 99% in each case,
is earned in one geographic area, the United States.
The Company earned revenue in the following service business
categories:

Note 5 - Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combinations and Intangible Assets - Accounting for Goodwill
On July 20, 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS ) 141, Business Combinations,
and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all
business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of
this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between
July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Effective January 1, 2002,
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for
impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment.
Although it is still reviewing the provisions of these Statements,
management's preliminary assessment is that these Statements will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
PART I.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the third quarter of 2001 increased 11.2% compared to the
corresponding 2000 quarter. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 increased by 10.2% over the corresponding 2000 nine month period. The
increase primarily results from new food service agreements obtained from
existing clients, as well as increases in other services provided to new
clients.
Cost of services provided as a percentage of revenues increased to
88.5% for the third quarter of 2001 from 88.0% in the corresponding 2000
quarter. In addition, cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to
88.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 from 88.2% in the same
2000 period. The primary factors affecting specific variations in the 2001 third
quarter and nine month period's cost of services provided as a percentage of
revenue and their effects on the respective .5% and .4% increases are as
follows: in the third quarter an increase of 1.4% in the cost of supplies
consumed in providing services which is primarily attributable to increased food
costs associated with food service clients; an increase of 1.3% in workers'
compensation, general liability and other insurance; offsetting these increases
were decreases of 2.0% in labor costs and a .3% in health insurance and employee
benefits; in the nine month period an increase of 2.2% in the cost of supplies
consumed in providing services which is primarily attributable to increased food
costs associated with food service clients; an increase of 1.0% in workers'
compensation, general liability and other insurance; and an increase of .4% in
bad debt expense; offsetting these increases were decreases of 2.6% in labor
costs and .4% in health insurance and employee benefits.
10
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
decreased in the third quarter of 2001 to 7.7% compared to 7.9% in the
corresponding 2000 three month period. Additionally, during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2001 selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 7.7% as compared to 7.8% in the
corresponding 2000 period. The three and nine month periods' decreases are
primarily attributable to the Company's ability to control certain selling,
general and administrative expenses while comparing them to a greater revenue
base.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2001 the Company had working capital and cash of
$79,168,769 and $25,690,195, respectively, representing increases of 7.0% and
12.5%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2000 working capital and cash and
cash equivalents of $73,995,109 and $22,841,618.
The net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was
$4,560,768 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 as compared to net
cash provided by operating activities of $1,478,768 in the same 2000 period. The
principal sources of net cash flows from operating activities for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were net income, charges to operations
for bad debt provisions and depreciation and amortization. Additionally,
operating activities' cash flows were increased by the timing of payments under
the Company's various insurance plans of $1,510,739 in the nine month period
ended September 30, 2001 and by $1,252,601 in the 2000 nine month period from
the timing of payments related to accounts payable and other accrued expenses.
The operating activity that used the largest amount of cash during each of the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were net increases in
accounts and notes receivable and long term notes receivable of $3,896,919 in
2001 and $8,094,981 in 2000. The net increases in these amounts resulted
primarily from the growth in the Company's revenues, as well as the timing of
collections from clients. Additionally, operating activities' cash flows for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were decreased by the timing
of payments for payroll and payroll related taxes of $2,869,973 and $1,208,809,
respectively. In addition, the 2001 nine month period operating activities' cash
flows were negatively impacted by a $1,073,500 decrease in income taxes
resulting from the timing of such payments.
11
The Company's principal use of cash in investing activities in each of
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was the purchase of
personal property and equipment.
The Company expends considerable effort to collect the amounts due for
its services on the terms agreed upon with its clients. Many of the Company's
clients participate in programs funded by federal and state governmental
agencies which historically have encountered delays in making payments to its
program participants. Additionally, legislation enacted in August 1997 changed
Medicare policy in a number of ways, most notably the phasing in, effective July
1, 1998 of a Medicare Prospective Payment System ("PPS") for skilled nursing
facilities which significantly changed the manner and amount of reimbursements
they receive. The Company's clients have been adversely affected by PPS, as well
as other trends in the long-term care industry resulting in certain of the
Company's clients filing for voluntary bankruptcy protection. Others may follow.
These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients, has resulted in
and could result in significant additional bad debts in the near future.
Whenever possible, when a client falls behind in making agreed-upon payments,
the Company converts the unpaid accounts receivable to interest bearing
promissory notes. The promissory notes receivable provide a means by which to
further evidence the amounts owed and provide a definitive repayment plan and
therefore may ultimately enhance the Company's ability to collect the amounts
due. In some instances the Company obtains a security interest in certain of the
debtors' assets. Additionally, the Company considers restructuring service
agreements from full service to management-only service in the case of certain
clients experiencing financial difficulties. The Company believes that the
restructuring provides it with a means to maintain a relationship with the
client while at the same time minimizing collection exposure.
The Company encounters difficulty in collecting amounts due from
certain of its clients, including those in bankruptcy, those which have
terminated service agreements and slow payers experiencing financial
difficulties. In order to provide for these collection problems and the general
risk associated with the granting of credit terms, the Company has recorded bad
debt provisions of $ 3,350,000 and $2,250,000 in the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In making its evaluation, in addition
to analyzing, and anticipating, where possible, the specific cases described
above, management considers the general collection risk associated with trends
in the long-term care industry.
The Company has an $18,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw
to meet short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash
flow. This facility expires on September 30, 2002. Amounts drawn under the line
are payable on demand. At September 30, 2001, there were no borrowings under the
line. However, at such date, the Company had outstanding approximately
$13,000,000 of irrevocable standby letters of credit, which relate to payment
obligations under the Company's insurance program. As a result of the letters of
credit issued, the amount available under the line was reduced by approximately
$13,000,000 at September 30, 2001.
At September 30, 2001, the Company had $25,690,195 of cash and cash
equivalents, which it views as its principal measure of liquidity.
12
The level of capital expenditures incurred by the Company is generally
dependent on the number of new clients obtained. Such capital expenditures
primarily consist of housekeeping equipment and laundry and linen equipment
installations. Although the Company has no specific material commitments for
capital expenditures through the end of calendar year 2001, it estimates that it
will incur capital expenditures of approximately $2,000,000 during this period
in connection with housekeeping equipment and laundry and linen equipment
installations in its clients' facilities, as well as expenditures relating to
internal data processing hardware and software requirements. The Company
believes that its cash from operations, existing balances and credit line will
be adequate for the foreseeable future to satisfy the needs of its operations
and to fund its continued growth. However, if the need arose, the Company would
seek to obtain capital from such sources as long-term debt or equity financing.
In accordance with the Company's previously announced authorizations to
purchase its outstanding common stock, the Company expended approximately
$825,000 to purchase 135,000 shares of its common stock during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2001 at an average price of $6.11 per common share.
Pursuant to previous Board of Directors' actions, the Company remains authorized
to purchase an additional 786,450 shares.

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of
this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between
July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Effective January 1, 2002,
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for
impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment.
Although it is still reviewing the provisions of these Statements,
management's preliminary assessment is that these Statements will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this report may include forward-looking
statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results or objectives to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks arising from the Company
providing its services exclusively to the health care industry, primarily
providers of long-term care; credit and collection risks associated with this
industry; the effects of changes in regulations governing the industry and risk
factors described in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2000 in Part I thereof under
"Government Regulation of Clients", "Competition" and "Service
Agreements/Collections". The Company's clients have been adversely affected by
the change in Medicare payments under the 1997 enactment of Prospective Payment
System ("PPS"), as well as other trends in the long-term care industry resulting
in certain of the Company's clients filing voluntary bankruptcy petitions.
Others may follow. These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients
has resulted in and could result in significant additional bad debts in the near
future. Additionally, the Company's operating results would be adversely
affected if unexpected increases in labor and labor related costs, materials,
supplies and equipment used in performing its services could not be passed on to
clients.
In addition, the Company believes that to improve its financial
performance it must continue to obtain service agreements with new clients,
provide new services to existing clients, achieve modest price increases on
current service agreements with existing clients and maintain internal cost
reduction strategies at the various operational levels of the Company.
Furthermore, the Company believes that its ability to sustain the internal
development of managerial personnel is an important factor impacting future
operating results and successfully executing projected growth strategies.
Effects of Inflation
All of the Company's service agreements allow it to pass through to its
clients increases in the cost of labor resulting from new wage agreements. The
Company believes that it will be able to recover increases in costs attributable
to inflation by continuing to pass through cost increases to its clients.
