Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2000 included in the Company's registration statement on Form 10-K. B. Earnings per Share Earnings per common and common equivalent shares were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the quarter. For calculation of the common and common equivalent shares, see below.

Page 8 of 14 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table contains certain financial data as a percentage of revenues:
Three months ended Dec. 31: 1999 2000 --------------------------- ------ ------ Revenues 100.0% 100.0% Cost of services 81.7 82.6 ------ ------ Gross profit 18.3 17.4 ------ ------ General and administrative 7.8 7.4 ------ ------ Income from operations 10.5 10.0 ------ ------ Income tax provision 4.0 3.6 ------ ------ NET INCOME 6.5% 6.4% ====== ====== Nine months ended Dec. 31: 1999 2000 --------------------------- ------ ------ Revenues 100.0% 100.0% Cost of services 81.8 82.0 ------ ------ Gross profit 18.2 18.0 ------ ------ General and administrative 7.9 7.8 ------ ------ Income from operations 10.3 10.2 ------ ------ Income tax provision 3.9 3.8 ------ ------ NET INCOME 6.4% 6.4% ====== ======
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2000 increased by $6.0 million to $52.2 million, an increase of 13% over the $46.3 million revenue for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to a 10% increase in patient management revenue along with a 12% increase in provider revenues, primarily bill review and PPO. Case management revenue grew to $30.5 million from $27.7 million in the prior year, an increase of $2.8 million. The increase in patient management is primarily due to an increase in referrals from the Company's customers. Provider program revenues increase from $18.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $21.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000 primarily due to an increase in the number of bills reviewed and growth in the Company's PPO network. Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 increased by $16.6 million to $154.4 million, an increase of 12% over the $137.8 million revenue for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to a 12% increase in patient management revenue along with a 13% increase in provider program revenues. Case management revenue grew to $91.9 million from $82.3 million in the prior year, an increase of $9.6 million. The increase in patient management is primarily due to an increase in the number of cases referred to the Company by their customers. Page 9 of 14 10 The Company's cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries, salary related taxes and fringe benefits, rent, telephone, and costs related to the Company's computer operations in the field. Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2000 increased from 81.7% of revenues to 82.6% of revenue from the three months ended December 31, 1999. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 increased from 81.8% of revenues to 82.0% of revenue from the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The increase in the cost of sales percentage is primarily due to a greater increase in the cost of providing case management than the increase in the Company's pricing for these services. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 7.9% for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, to 7.8% for the nine months ending December 31, 2000. The growth in the general and administrative expenses of 11% for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 is consistent with the growth in revenues. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily from cash flow from operations. During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, net working capital decreased by $0.3 million, from $34.4 million at March 31, 2000 to $34.1 million at December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had $8.9 million in cash, primarily in short-term highly-liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less. The Company has historically required substantial capital to fund the growth of its operations, particularly working capital to fund the growth in accounts receivable. The Company believes, however, that the cash balance at December 31, 2000 along with anticipated internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet the Company's expected cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had no interest bearing debt. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISK FACTORS Certain statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, as well as the Company's Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2000, such as statements concerning the development of new services, possible legislative changes, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Page 10 of 14 11 Past financial performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical performance to anticipate results or future period trends. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those discussed below. In addition, reference is made to the Company's most recent annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000. POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION. Many states, including a number of those in which the Company transacts business, have licensing and other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company's business. Approximately half of the states have enacted laws that require licensing of businesses which provide medical review services. Some of these laws apply to medical review of care covered by workers' compensation. These laws typically establish minimum standards for qualifications of personnel, confidentiality, internal quality control, and dispute resolution procedures. These regulatory programs may result in increased costs of operation for the Company, which may have an adverse impact upon the Company's networks having contracts with the Company or to provider networks which the Company may organize. To the extent the Company is governed by these regulations, it may be subject to additional licensing requirements, financial oversight and procedural standards for beneficiaries and providers. ability to compete with other available alternatives for health care cost control. Regulation in the health care and workers' compensation fields is constantly evolving. The Company is unable to predict what additional government regulations, if any, affecting its business may be promulgated in the future. The Company's business may be adversely affected by failure to comply with existing laws and regulations, failure to obtain necessary licenses and government approvals or failure to adapt to new or modified regulatory requirements. Proposals for health care legislative reforms are regularly considered at the federal and state levels. To the extent that such proposals affect workers' compensation, such proposals may adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations. In addition, changes in workers' compensation laws or regulations may impact demand for the Company's services, require the Company to develop new or modified services to meet the demands of the marketplace or modify the fees that the Company may charge for its services. One of the proposals which has been considered is 24-hour health coverage, in which the coverage of traditional employer-sponsored health plans is combined with workers' compensation coverage to provide a single insurance plan for work-related and non-work-related health problems. Incorporating workers' compensation coverage into conventional health plans may adversely affect the market for the Company's services. POSSIBLE LITIGATION AND LEGAL LIABILITY. The Company, through its utilization management services, makes recommendations concerning the appropriateness of providers' medical treatment plans of patients throughout the country, and it could share in potential liabilities for adverse medical consequences. The Company does not grant or deny claims for payment of benefits and the Company does not believe that it engages in the practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services. Page 11 of 14 12 There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not be subject to claims or litigation related to the grant or denial of claims for payment of benefits or allegations that the Company engages in the practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to other litigation that may adversely affect the Company's business or results of operations. The Company maintains professional liability insurance and such other coverages as the Company believes are reasonable in light of the Company's experience to date. There can be no assurance, however, that such insurance will be sufficient or available in the future at reasonable cost to protect the Company from liability. COMPETITION. The Company faces competition from large insurers, health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), third party administrators and other managed health care companies. The Company believes that, as managed care techniques continue to gain acceptance in the workers' compensation marketplace, CorVel's competitors will increasingly consist of nationally focused workers' compensation managed care service companies, insurance companies, HMOs and other significant providers of managed care products. Legislative reforms in some states permit employers to designate health plans such as HMOs and PPOs to cover workers' compensation claimants. Because many health plans have the ability to manage medical costs for workers' compensation claimants, such legislation may intensify competition in the market served by the Company. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than those of the Company, and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to maintain its existing performance or be successful with any new products or in any new geographical markets it may enter. CHANGES IN MARKET DYNAMICS. Legislative reforms in some states permit employers to designate health plans such as HMOs and PPOs to cover workers' compensation claimants. Because many health plans have the capacity to manage health care for workers' compensation claimants, such legislation may intensify competition in the market served by the Company. Within the past few years, several states have experienced decreases in the number of workers' compensation claims and the average cost per claim which have been reflected in workers' compensation insurance premium rate reductions in those states. The Company believes that declines in workers' compensation costs in these states are due principally to intensified efforts by payors to manage and control claim costs, to improved risk management by employers and to legislative reforms. If declines in workers' compensation costs occur in many states and persist over the long-term, they may have an adverse impact on the Company's business and results of operations. DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company is dependent to a substantial extent upon the continuing efforts and abilities of certain key management personnel. In addition, the Company faces competition for experienced employees with professional expertise in the workers' compensation managed care area. The loss of, or the inability to attract, qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Page 12 of 14 13 RISKS RELATED TO GROWTH STRATEGY. The Company's strategy is to continue its internal growth and, as strategic opportunities arise in the workers' compensation managed care industry, to consider acquisitions of, or relationships with, other companies in related lines of business. As a result, the Company is subject to certain growth-related risks, including the risk that it will be unable to retain personnel or acquire other resources necessary to service such growth adequately. Expenses arising from the Company's efforts to increase its market penetration may have a negative impact on operating results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any suitable opportunities for strategic acquisitions or relationships will arise or, if they do arise, that the transactions contemplated thereby could be completed. If such a transaction does occur, there can no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate effectively any acquired business into the Company. In addition, any such transaction would be subject to various risks associated with the acquisition of businesses, including the financial impact of expenses associated with the integration of businesses. There can be no assurance that any future acquisition or other strategic relationship will not have an adverse impact on the Company's business or results of operations. If suitable opportunities arise, the Company anticipates that it would finance such transactions, as well as its internal growth, through working capital or, in certain instances, through debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance, however, that such debt or equity financing would be available to the Company on acceptable terms when, and if, suitable strategic opportunities arise. During the past fiscal year, the Company has made efforts to increase its presence and revenue in the group health market with moderate success. Managed care in this market is more mature than managed care in workers' compensation and has numerous large competitors, primarily health maintenance organizations. The Company has limited experience in the group health market. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this market. The Company expects that a considerable amount of its future growth will depend on its ability to process and manage claims data more efficiently and to provide more meaningful healthcare information to customers and payors of healthcare. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to develop, license or otherwise acquire software to address these market demands as well or as timely as its competitors. POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. The market price of the Company's Common Stock following this offering may be highly volatile. Factors such as variations in the Company's revenues, earnings and cash flow, general market trends in the workers' compensation managed care market, and announcements of innovations by the Company or its competitors could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has in the past experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected companies in the health care and managed care markets resulting in changes in the market price of the stock of many companies which may not have been directly related to the operating performance of those companies. Page 13 of 14 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - The Company is involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business.
