See accompanying notes -4- 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, 2001 has been derived from, and does not include, all the disclosures contained in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. 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, 2001. The results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 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. The Company believes the line will be renewed at that time. Amounts drawn under the line are payable upon demand. At both March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, there were no borrowings under the line. However, at such dates, the Company had outstanding $14,500,000 and $13,500,000, respectively 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 $14,500,000 and $13,500,000 at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. 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. The Balance Budget Act of 1997 ("BBA") 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 and continue to be 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. Since the passage of the BBA, Congress has twice passed additional legislation intended to mitigate temporarily the reduction in reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities under the Medicare PPS. The increases -5- legislated by Congress, as well as other enacted Medicare PPS refinements are due to expire or be revised in October 2002. Unless additional legislative action is undertaken by the United States Congress, the loss of revenue associated with the expiration of Medicare reimbursement increases will have a material adverse effect on the Company's clients. These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients, have resulted in and could continue to result in significant additional bad debts in the near future. At March 31, 2002, the Company has receivables of approximately $4,000,000 from a client group currently Debtors in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The Company expects the client group will file bankruptcy plans sometime during 2002. In the event that the amount collected is materially less than the $4,000,000, it could adversely effect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Note 3 - Segment Information The Company manages and evaluates its operations in two reportable operating segments. The two operating segments are housekeeping, laundry, linen and other services, and food service. Although both segments serve the same client base and share many operational similarities, they are managed separately due to distinct differences in the type of service provided, as well as the specialized expertise required of the professional management personnel responsible for delivering the respective segments' services. Prior to 2001, food service was not deemed a reportable operating segment as its revenues did not meet the quantitative threshold of FASB SFAS 131. The Company considers the various services provided within the housekeeping, laundry, linen and other services' segment to be one reportable operating segment since such services are rendered pursuant to a single service agreement, as well as the delivery of such services being managed by the same management personnel. Differences between the reportable segments' operating results and other disclosed data, and the Company's consolidated financial statements relate primarily to corporate level transactions, as well as transactions between reportable operating segments and an 100% owned warehousing and distribution subsidiary. The subsidiary's transactions with reportable segments are immaterial and are made on a basis intended to reflect the fair market value of the goods transferred. Segment amounts disclosed are prior to any elimination entries made in consolidation. The housekeeping, laundry, linen and other services' segment of the Company does provide services in Canada, although essentially all of its revenues and net income, 99% in both categories, are earned in one geographic area, the United States.

Options to purchase 1,175,311 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $7.51 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market value of the common shares. At March 31, 2002, no outstanding options were excluded as none have an exercise price in excess of the average market value of the Company's Common Stock. Note 5 - Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Busines Combinations and Intangible Assets - Accounting for Goodwill As of January 1, 2002, the Company has adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which eliminated the amortization of purchased goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performed an impairment test of its goodwill (amounting to $1,612,322 at January 1, 2002) and determined that no impairment of the recorded goodwill existed. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if an event occurs which indicates the goodwill may be impaired. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income and earnings per share amounts, as reported in the financial statements, to those amounts adjusted for goodwill and intangible asset amortization determined in accordance with SFAS 142. For the three month period ended March 31, 2002 2001 ---- ---- Reported net income $2,030,551 $1,628,845 Addback: goodwill amortization 26,906 ---------- ---------- Adjusted net income $2,030,551 $1,655,751 ========== ========== Basic and diluted earnings per Common share: Reported net income $ .18 $ .15 Goodwill amortization ---------- ---------- Adjusted net income $ .18 $ .15 ========== ========== -8- Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets As of January 1, 2002 the Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets which supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no effect on the Company. PART I. ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the first quarter of 2002 increased 18.5% compared to the corresponding 2001 quarter. The growth in revenues is primarily a result of a net increase in service agreements entered into with new clients. Approximately 78% of the revenue growth resulted from the Company's housekeeping, laundry and linen, and other services provided, with the remaining approximately 22% revenue growth generated from the Company's food service division. The Company believes that in 2002 both housekeeping, laundry, linen and other services, and food services' revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, will remain approximately the same as their respective 2001 percentages. Cost of services provided as a percentage of revenues decreased to 88.3 % for the first quarter of 2002 from 88.7 % in the corresponding 2001 quarter. The primary factors affecting specific variations in the 2002 first quarter's cost of services provided as a percentage of revenue and its effect on the .4% decrease are as follows: a decrease of 1.0% in labor costs, which is primarily a result of an increase in food service business. Food service labor costs are less as a percentage of that division's revenues as compared to housekeeping, laundry and linen, and other services' percentage of labor costs to their respective revenues. Housekeeping, laundry and linen, and other services' labor costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, as a percentage of the division's revenues, remained essentially at historical percentage of revenue rates; a decrease of .3% in the cost of supplies consumed in providing services was primarily attributable to improvements in purchasing of supplies consumed in performing housekeeping, laundry and linen services. Offsetting these decreases were increases of .8% in the bad debt provision in order to provide for collection problems and .5% in health insurance and employee benefits. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained essentially unchanged at 7.7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to 7.8% in the first quarter of 2001. -9- Critical Accounting Policies Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. The allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated based on managements periodic review of accounts and notes receivable and is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The Company has had varying collection experience with respect to its accounts and notes receivable. When contractual terms are not met, the Company generally encounters difficulty in collecting amounts due from certain of its clients. Therefore, the Company has sometimes been required to extend the period of payment for certain clients beyond contractual terms. These clients have included those in bankruptcy, those who have terminated service agreements and slow payers experiencing financial difficulties. In making its credit evaluations, in addition to analyzing and anticipating, where possible, the specific cases described above, management considers the general collection risks associated with trends in the long-term care industry. The Company also establishes credit limits, as well as performing ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures to minimize the risk of loss. In accordance with the risk of extending credit, the Company regularly evaluates its accounts and notes receivable for impairment or loss of value and when appropriate will provide in its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for such receivables. The Company generally follows a policy of reserving for receivables from clients in bankruptcy, as well as clients with which the Company is in litigation for collection. Correspondingly, once the Company's recovery of a receivable is determined through either litigation, bankruptcy proceedings or other client negotiation at less than the recorded amount on its balance sheet, it will charge-off the applicable amount to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Notwithstanding the Company's efforts to minimize its credit risk exposure, the Company's clients could be adversely effected if future industry trends, as more fully discussed under liquidity and capital resources, as well as in further described in the Company's Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2001 in Part I thereof under "Government Regulation of Clients", "Competition" and "Service Agreements/Collections", change in such a manner as to negatively impact their cash flows. In the event that the Company's clients experience such significant impact in their cash flows, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. At March 31, 2002, the Company has receivables of approximately $4,000,000 from a client group currently Debtors in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. The Company expects the client group will file bankruptcy plans sometime during 2002. In the event that the amount collected is materially less than the $4,000,000, it could adversely effect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. -10- Accrued Insurance Claims The Company currently has a Paid Loss Retrospective Insurance Plan for general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Under these plans, pre-determined loss limits are arranged with an insurance company to limit both the Company's per occurrence cash outlay and annual insurance plan cost. For workers' compensation, the Company records a reserve based on the present value of future payments, including an estimate of claims incurred but not reported, that are developed as a result of a review of the Company's historical data and actuarial analysis done by an independent company specialist. The present value of the payout is determined by applying an 8% discount factor against the pay-out over the policy year's remaining pay-out period. Management regularly evaluates its claim pay-out experience, present value factor and other factors related to the nature of specific claims in arriving at the basis for its accrued insurance claims' estimate. Management evaluations are based primarily on current information derived from reviewing Company claims' experience and industry trends. In the event that the Company's claims' experience and/or industry trends result in an unfavorable change, it could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2002 the Company had working capital and cash of $86,887,734 and $33,477,856, respectively compared to December 31, 2001 working capital and cash of $83,107,545 and $34,259,334. The Company's current ratio at March 31, 2002 increased to 7.4 to 1 from 5.7 to 1 at December 31, 2001 primarily as a result of the timing of payments for accounts payable, and payroll and payroll taxes. The net cash used in the Company's operating activities was $557,065 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as compared to net cash of $540,830 used in operating activities in the same 2001 quarter. The principal sources of net cash flows from operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 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 for income taxes of $1,128,624 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The operating activities that used the largest amount of cash during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 were decreases of $3,445,297 in payroll and payroll related taxes, and a $851,566 increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. The increases resulted from the timing of such payments. Additionally, operating activities' cash flows in the first quarter of 2002 were negatively impacted by a $539,605 net increase in accounts and notes receivable and long term notes receivable. The net increase in these amounts resulted primarily from the growth in the Company's revenues, as well as the timing of collections from clients. Operating activities' cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were decreased by the timing of payments for payroll and payroll related taxes of $3,948,075, as well as a $517,559 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses resulting from the timing of such payments. -11- The Company's principal use of cash in investing activities in each of the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively was the purchase of housekeeping equipment and computer software 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, the Balance Budget Act of 1997 ("BBA"), which was 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 and continue to be adversely affected by PPS, as well as other trends in the long-term care industry resulting in certain of the Company's clients filing voluntary bankruptcy protection. Others may follow. Since the passage of the BBA, Congress has twice passed additional legislation intended to mitigate temporarily the reduction in reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities under the Medicare PPS. The increases legislated by Congress, as well as other enacted Medicare PPS refinements, are due to expire or be revised in October 2002. Unless additional legislative action is undertaken by the United States Congress, the loss of revenue associated with the expiration of Medicare reimbursement increases will have a material adverse effect on the Company's clients. These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients, have resulted in and could continue to 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. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately, net of reserves, $13,455,000 and $14,159,000, respectively of such notes outstanding. 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. -12- The Company has had varying collection experience with respect to its accounts and notes receivable.

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 (in an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) of $1,500,000 and $750,000 in the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These provisions represent approximately 1.9% and 1.1%, as a percentage of revenue for such respective periods. 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 also establishes credit limits, as well as performing ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures to minimize the risk of loss. Notwithstanding the Company's efforts to minimize its credit risk exposure, the Company's clients could be adversely affected if future industry trends change in such a manner as to negatively impact their cash flows. In the event that the Company's clients experience such significant impact in their cash flows, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. At March 31, 2002, the Company has receivables of approximately $4,000,000 from a client group currently Debtors in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The Company expects the client group will file bankruptcy plans sometime during 2002. In the event that the amount collected is materially less than the $4,000,000, it could adversely effect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The Company currently has a Paid Loss Retrospective Insurance Plan for general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Under these plans, pre-determined loss limits are arranged with an insurance company to limit both the Company's per occurrence cash outlay and annual insurance plan cost. For workers' compensation, the Company records a reserve based on the present value of future payments, including an estimate of claims incurred but not reported, that are developed as a result of a review of the Company's open claims and actuarial analysis done by an independent company specialist. The present value of the payout is determined by applying an 8% discount factor against the pay-out over the policy year's remaining pay-out period. Management regularly evaluates its claim pay-out experience, present value factor and other factors related to the nature of specific claims in arriving at the basis for its accrued insurance claims' estimate. Management evaluations are based primarily on current information derived from reviewing Company claims' experience and industry trends. In the event that the Company's claims' experience and/or industry trends result in an unfavorable change, it could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. 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. The Company believes the line will be renewed at that time. Amounts drawn under the line are payable on demand. At March 31, 2002, there were no borrowings under the line. However, at such date, the Company had outstanding $14,500,000 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 $14,500,000 at March 31, 2002. -13- At March 31, 2002, the Company had $33,477,856 of cash, which it views as its principal measure of liquidity. The level of capital expenditures 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 2002, it estimates that it will incur capital expenditures of approximately $2,500,000 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, should cash flows from current operations not be sufficient, the Company would seek to obtain necessary working capital from such sources as long-term debt or equity financing. Although the Company remains authorized to purchase up to 786,450 shares of its outstanding common stock pursuant to previous Board of Directors' action, it did not make any such purchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's exposure to market risk is not significant. Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Statements Certain matters discussed 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 Company's claims experience related to workers' compensation and general liability insurance; 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, 2001 in Part I thereof under "Government Regulation of Clients", "Competition" and "Service Agreements/Collections". The Company's clients have been and continue to be 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 continue to result in significant additional bad debts in the near future. Additionally, the Company's operating results would be adversely affected if unexpected increases in the costs of labor and labor related costs, materials, supplies and equipment used in performing its services could not be passed on to clients. -14- 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. PART II.
