(Unaudited)
General
The accompanying unaudited financial statements and footnotes have been
condensed and therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended March 31, 1996. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have
been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows as at and for the periods shown.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations - Three Months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company's
sources of revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June
30, 1995:
Three months Three months
ended ended
June 30, 1996 June 30, 1995
------------- -------------
Hospital bill audit services $ 652,071 $1,079,708
Vocational rehabilitation
services 301,089 314,361
---------- ----------
$ 953,160 $1,394,069
========== ==========
Consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 31.6%
to $953,160 from the $1,394,069 reported for the comparable period ended June
30, 1995. During the three months ended June 30, 1996, hospital bill audit
("HBA") services declined by 39.6% and vocational rehabilitation services
posted a 4.2% decrease from the corresponding period last year. The most
notable cause for the decrease in HBA revenues is the previously announced loss
of business from a single client. During August 1995, MetraHealth notified the
Company that it was to be acquired by United Healthcare Corp. and planned to
perform its hospital bill audits internally, thus phasing out the use of the
Company's services. MetraHealth, formerly the Company's largest client,
accounted for approximately 22% of consolidated revenues prior to August 1995.
The cost of evaluations for HBA services as a percentage of HBA revenues
increased to 47.6% from the previous year's comparable percentage of 44.6%.
This increase is primarily attributable to a change in the mix of HBA services
being rendered with provider discount network ("PDN") services capturing a
larger percentage in the current period. PDN services generally provide for
lower gross margins due to the cost of related access fees. The cost of
services for vocational rehabilitation services decreased to 43.1% of related
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 46.4% for the
three months ended June 30, 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1996 increased to 51.8% of consolidated revenues from 48.6% of consolidated
revenues during the three months ended June 30, 1995. Overall, selling, general
and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 decreased by
$183,453, or 27.1%, from the comparable period last year.
During the current quarter, the Company earned $111,785 of interest income
representing an increase of $30,555 over the three months
7
<PAGE>
ended June 30, 1995. This increase resulted from higher interest rates in
addition to an increase in the Company's cash and cash equivalents available
for investment. The Company also realized net gains on the sale of marketable
securities of $285,356 during the three months ended June 30, 1996, as compared
to gains of $38,493 on the sale of marketable securities during the three
months ended June 30, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three month period ended June 30, 1996, cash provided by operating
activities was $168,291, compared with $319,315 during the comparable period
last year. Net earnings of $262,878 coupled with a decrease in accounts
receivable of $204,915 which was offset by gains on the sale of marketable
securities of $285,356 were the major factors in net cash provided by
operations during the current quarter.
Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1996
was $472,348, as compared with $90,474 in the comparable period last year.
During the three month ended June 30, 1996, $591,116 of cash provided from the
proceeds of sales of marketable securities was offset by $118,768 used for the
purchase of additional marketable securities.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $7,749,692 as compared to
working capital of $7,569,169 at March 31, 1996.
The Company has intensified its review of strategic alternatives for maximizing
shareholder value, focusing upon acquisitions and/or the dispositions of
certain assets. Potential acquisitions will be evaluated based on their merits
within the Company's current line of business, as well as other fields.
The Company believes that it has sufficient cash resources and working capital
to meet its capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
