RURAL/METRO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Description of Business

Rural/Metro Corporation, a Delaware corporation, along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a leading provider of both emergency and non-emergency medical transportation services. These medical transportation services are provided under contracts with governmental entities, hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities and organizations. The Company also provides fire protection and related services on a subscription fee basis to residential and commercial property owners and under long-term contracts with fire districts, industrial sites and airports. These services consist primarily of fire suppression, fire prevention and first responder medical care.

Other Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.

The notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented to enhance the understanding of the financial statements and do not necessarily represent complete disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 23, 2007.

Reclassifications of Financial Information

Certain financial information relating to prior years has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

7

(1) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with the option to measure eligible items, including many financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS 159 requires disclosure of unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159, if any, shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company at the beginning of the fiscal 2009 year. The Company has not determined whether it will elect the fair value measurement provisions for its long-term debt obligations, nor has the Company determined the impact of any future election.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“SFAS 158”). This standard requires balance sheet recognition of the funded status for all pension and postretirement benefit plans in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, this standard requires the measurement of the funded status of a plan as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year. The balance sheet recognition provisions of SFAS 158 are effective for the Company as of June 30, 2007 while the measurement date provisions are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. As further discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, the Company has a defined benefit pension plan that will be subject to the provisions of SFAS 158. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s defined benefit pension plan was overfunded. Since the benefit obligation will not be measured until June 30, 2007, the Company cannot yet quantify the actual impact the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. However, since the Company currently measures the funded status of its plan as of the end of its fiscal year, the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosure about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). This statement provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessment. For prior year immaterial misstatements that are considered material under SAB 108, a one-time transitional cumulative adjustment would be made to beginning retained earnings in the first interim period in which the statement is adopted. SAB 108 is effective for the Company on June 30, 2007. The company does not believe that the adoption of SAB 108 will have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards” (“FSP 123(R)-3”). Under the provisions of FSP 123(R)-3, entities may follow either the transition guidance for the additional-paid-in-capital pool as prescribed by SFAS 123(R) or elect to use the alternative transition method as described in FSP 123(R)-3. An entity that adopts SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application method may make a one-time election to adopt the transition method described in FSP 123(R)-3. The Company elected to use the alternative transition method provided in FSP 123(R)-3 to calculate the pool of windfall tax benefits as of the adoption date of SFAS 123(R).

(2) Stock Based Compensation

At March 31, 2007, the Company had two stock compensation plans, the Amended and Restated 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Plan”) and the 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”). The 1992 Plan, which provided for the issuance of stock options to employees and non-employees, including executive officers and the Board of Directors, expired on November 5, 2002. The 2000 Plan, which provides for the issuance of stock options to employees and non-employees, excluding executive officers and the Board of Directors, had 480,664 shares of common stock available for issuance at March 31, 2007.

The Company recognized $7,000 of stock based compensation benefit in the statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. There was no stock based compensation benefit or expense recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company recognized approximately $7,000 and $23,000 of stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. At March 31, 2007, there were no remaining unvested awards under either stock compensation plan. Upon an option grant, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized to expense over the vesting period of the award. There were no stock options granted during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007.

(3) Accrued Severance

At March 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.1 million in accrued severance benefits pursuant to an employment agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer. The amount was recognized as a component of payroll and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The Company expects to begin making payments in satisfaction of the severance obligation during the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter.

(4) General Liability and Worker’s Compensation Plans

General Liability

The Company maintains insurance policies for comprehensive automobile liability and professional liability (referred to collectively as “general liability”). These policies are typically renewed annually. Management periodically reviews its general liability claim reserves and engages its independent actuaries to assist with the assessment of reserve adequacy. The Company adjusts its claim reserves with an associated charge or credit to expense as new information on the underlying claims are obtained.

The Company engaged its independent actuaries to perform updated valuations of its related claim reserve during the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Based on the actuarial analysis, the Company reduced its general liability reserves by $0.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which was recognized as a reduction to other operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, also as a result of the actuarial analysis, the Company increased its general liability reserves by $0.2 million, which was recognized as an increase to other operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

In 2004, an individual filed suit against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey for injuries that were allegedly sustained as a result of negligence on the part of the Company. The case went to trial on March 26, 2007 and on April 4, 2007 a jury awarded the plaintiff compensatory damages totaling $11.6 million. The Company has filed a motion to appeal. The Company is covered under an automobile liability insurance program for the 2003-2004 policy year for individual claims in excess of $500,000 up to an annual limit of $4.0 million. In addition, the Company maintains excess insurance, which provides additional coverage of up to $25.0 million per claim and in the aggregate. The Company

9

has recorded an additional liability of $11.1 million at March 31, 2007 for the difference between the award and the self-insured deductible with an offsetting receivable of $11.1 million representing the amount due from the insurer. The liability has been classified as a component of accrued liabilities and the offsetting receivable has been classified as a component of prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007.

Workers’ Compensation

The Company maintains insurance policies for workers’ compensation and employer’s liability. The Company is required by law to maintain statutory limits of workers’ compensation insurance. These policies are typically renewed annually. Management periodically reviews its workers’ compensation claim reserves and engages its independent actuaries to assist with the assessment of reserve adequacy. The Company adjusts its claim reserves with an associated charge or credit to expense as new information on the underlying claims are obtained. These adjustments may be reflected as changes to the Company’s reserve liabilities or collateral deposit assets.

The Company engaged its independent actuaries to perform updated valuations of its related claim reserves during the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Based on the actuarial analysis, the Company reduced its workers’ compensation claim reserves by $3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which was reflected as a reduction to payroll and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, also a result of the actuarial analysis, the Company reduced its workers compensation claim reserves by $1.5 million, which was reflected as a reduction to payroll and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

Based upon an updated loss assessment prepared by the Company’s independent actuaries, the Company recorded reserve adjustments totaling $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. These adjustments were recognized as an increase to payroll and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, also based on an updated actuarial loss assessment, the Company recorded premium refunds and reserve adjustments totaling $1.1 million. These adjustments were recognized as a decrease to payroll and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Of the $1.1 million recognized during the nine months of fiscal 2006, $0.8 million pertained to policy years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003 and was reflected as an increase in other assets and the remaining $0.3 million pertained to the policy year ended April 30, 2005 and was reflected as a reduction to the Company’s workers’ compensation claim reserves. The Company has recorded loss reserves for claims expected to be incurred during this policy period, as the risk of loss was not transferred to the insurer.

(5) Long-term Debt

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt (in thousands):

	March 31, 2007			June 30, 2006

Long-term debt, net of current maturities	$	283,034		$	291,337

The Senior Secured Term Loan B due March 2011 (the “Term Loan B”) bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25 percent per annum based on contractual periods from one to six months in length at the Company’s option. At March 31, 2007, $85.0 million of the outstanding Term Loan B balance was under a LIBOR option six-month contract accruing interest at 7.61 percent per annum, $7.0 million of the outstanding Term Loan B balance was under a LIBOR option three-month contract accruing interest at 7.57 percent per annum while the remaining $1 million was under a LIBOR option one-month contract accruing interest at 7.57 percent. At June 30, 2006, $97.0 million of the outstanding Term Loan B balance was under a LIBOR option six-month contract accruing interest at 7.50 percent per annum, and the remaining $10.0 million outstanding was under a LIBOR option three-month contract accruing interest at 7.40 percent.

The Company has capitalized $14.6 million of expenses associated with its outstanding debt and is amortizing these costs as interest expense over the terms of the respective agreements. Unamortized deferred financing costs were $9.8 million and $10.8 million at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rural/Metro Operating Company, LLC (“Rural/Metro LLC”), made two $7.0 million unscheduled principal payments on its Term Loan B for a total of $14.0 million. There are no prepayment penalties or fees associated with the unscheduled principal payments. In connection with these unscheduled principal payments, which were made on November 8, 2006 and March 22, 2007, the Company wrote-off $0.4 million of deferred financing costs in the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Rural/Metro LLC has made inception-to-date unscheduled principal payments totaling $42.0 million, and may, from time to time, make additional unscheduled principal payments at its discretion.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had $40.4 million issued under its $45.0 million Letter of Credit Facility, primarily in support of insurance deductible arrangements. In addition, the Company’s $20.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, which includes a letter of credit sub-line in the amount of $10.0 million, was undrawn at March 31, 2007.

The senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the “2005 Credit Facility”), the $125.0 million aggregate principal amount 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2015 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) and the $93.5 million aggregate principal amount at maturity 12.75% senior discount notes due 2016 (the “Senior Discount Notes”) include various financial and non-financial covenants as well as quarterly and annual financial reporting obligations.

11

Specifically, the 2005 Credit Facility, as amended, requires Rural/Metro LLC and its subsidiaries to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2005 Credit Facility also contains covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers, prepayments of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, capital expenditures, business activities by the Company, as a holding company, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

The Company was in compliance with all of its covenants, as amended, under its 2005 Credit Facility at March 31, 2007.

Financial Covenant	Level Specified in Agreement	Level Achieved for Specified Period	Level to be Achieved June 30, 2007
Debt leverage ratio	< 4.75	4.02	< 4.75
Interest expense coverage ratio	> 2.00	2.48	> 2.00
Fixed charge coverage ratio	> 1.10	1.38	> 1.10
Maintenance capital expenditure (1), (2)	N/A	N/A	< $22.0 million
New business capital expenditure (2)	N/A	N/A	< $4.0 million

(1) Capital expended in the normal course of operating in existing markets.

(2) Measured annually at June 30^th.

Credit Facility Amendments

On November 10, 2006, the Company amended the 2005 Credit Facility (“Amendment No. 4”) to modify the definition of the Consolidated EBITDA covenant to exclude the severance benefits associated with the termination of its former Chief Financial Officer. Amendment No. 4 was effective as of September 30, 2006.

On January 18, 2007, the Company amended the 2005 Credit Facility (“Amendment No. 5”) to modify certain financial covenant requirements contained in the Credit Agreement, including total leverage ratio, interest expense coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, Amendment No. 5 modified the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated Net Rental and Operating Lease Expense” to exclude discontinued operations prior to June 30, 2006. In connection with Amendment No. 5, the Company paid $0.7 million in lender and administration fees during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Of this amount, $0.5 million was capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2005 Credit Facility. As a result of entering into Amendment No. 5, which is effective as of December 31, 2006, the Company is in compliance with all of its covenants under the 2005 Credit Facility at March 31, 2007.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of Rural/Metro LLC and Rural/Metro (Delaware) Inc. (“Rural/Metro Inc.” and, collectively with Rural/Metro LLC, the “Senior Subordinated Notes Issuers”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Rural/Metro Corporation (which is referred to singularly as Parent within the schedules presented in this Note 6) and substantially all of the current and future subsidiaries of Rural/Metro LLC, excluding Rural/Metro Inc. (the “Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors”).

The Company does not believe that the separate financial statements and related footnote disclosures concerning the Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors would provide any additional information that would be material to investors making an investment decision. Condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent, the Senior Subordinated Notes Issuers, the Senior Secured Note Guarantors and the Company’s remaining subsidiary (the “Non-Guarantor”) is presented in the following tables. The Non-Guarantor consists of the Company’s joint venture with the City of San Diego, San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, LLC, which is consolidated in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”.

(6) Income Taxes

The following table shows the components of the income tax benefit (provision) (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Current income tax provision	$	(135	)	$	(163	)	$	(610	)	$	(796	)
Deferred income tax benefit (provision)		1,375			1,982			(2,521	)		(3,320	)
Total income tax benefit (provision)	$	1,240		$	1,819		$	(3,131	)	$	(4,116	)
Continuing operations benefit (provision)	$	1,194		$	(834	)	$	(2,986	)	$	(6,750	)
Discontinued operations benefit (provision)		46			2,653			(145	)		2,634
Total income tax benefit (provision)	$	1,240		$	1,819		$	(3,131	)	$	(4,116	)

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 for continuing operations was 32.9 percent and 71.0 percent, respectively, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily as a result of the portion of non-cash interest expense related to the Senior Discount Notes that is not deductible for income tax purposes, non-deductible executive compensation, state income taxes, and certain adjustments to prior year tax provisions. The Company made cash payments for income taxes of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, primarily consisting of federal alternative minimum taxes and state income taxes.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 for continuing operations was 50.3 percent and 46.9 percent, respectively, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of the portion of non-cash interest expense related to the Senior Discount Notes that is not deductible for income tax purposes, non-deductible executive compensation, state income taxes, and certain adjustments to prior year tax provisions. The Company made income tax payments of $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service examination of the Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2004 closed in the three months ended December 31, 2006. Management had previously provided for expected adjustments from the examination and that the final outcome resulted in no subsequent adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(7) Gain On Sale of Assets

On August 19, 2005, the Company sold real estate in Arizona for cash proceeds of $1.6 million. This transaction generated a pre-tax gain of $1.3 million, which has been included in gain on sale of assets in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

22

(8) Earnings Per Share

Income (loss) from continuing operations per share assuming no dilution is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Income (loss) from continuing operations per share assuming dilution is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options.

A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding utilized in the basic and diluted income (loss) per share computations is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,					Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006		2007			2006
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	(2,716	)	$	489	$	(37	)	$	6,994
Average number of shares outstanding — Basic		24,632			24,407		24,574			24,323
Add: Incremental shares for dilutive effect of stock options		—			883		—			960
Average number of shares outstanding — Diluted		24,632			25,290		24,574			25,283
Income (loss) from continuing operations per share — Basic	$	(0.11	)	$	0.02	$	(0.00	)	$	0.29
Income (loss) from continuing operations per share — Diluted	$	(0.11	)	$	0.02	$	(0.00	)	$	0.28

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, no shares of common stock underlying stock options were included in the computation of income per share assuming dilution because there was a loss from continuing operations.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, 1.1 million shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from consideration for the earnings per share computation because such options had exercise prices in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective period and, therefore would have had an antidilutive effect.

23

(9) Segment Reporting

The Company has four regional reporting segments that correspond with the manner in which the associated operations are managed and evaluated by its chief operating decision maker. Although some of the Company’s operations do not align with the segments’ geographic designation, all operations have been structured to capitalize on management’s strengths. These segments comprise operations within the following areas:

Segment	Operations
Mid-Atlantic	Georgia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
South	Alabama, California (fire), Florida (fire), Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey (fire), Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin
Southwest	Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon (fire)
West	California (medical transportation), Florida (medical transportation), Colorado, Oregon (medical transportation), Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, Utah

Each reporting segment provides medical transportation and related services while the Company’s fire and other services are predominantly in the South and Southwest Segments. During the 2007 fiscal third quarter, the Company determined that certain characteristics of its Utah operations were more similar to the characteristics of operations residing in the Company’s West segment. As a result, the Company’s results of operations pertaining to Utah were reclassified from the Southwest segment to the West segment.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements have also been followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial information for each reporting segment. For management purposes, the Company’s measure of segment profitability is defined as income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest, income taxes and minority interest. Additionally, corporate overhead allocations have been included within segment profits. Segment results presented below reflect continuing operations only. The prior period segment information has been restated to reflect the Utah segment reclassification described above.

(10) Discontinued Operations

During fiscal year 2006, the Company made the decision to exit two medical transportation markets and, as a result, the financial results of these service areas for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations excludes the allocation of certain shared costs such as human resources, financial services, risk management, legal services and interest expense, among others, which are expected to continue. These ongoing services and related costs will be redirected to support new markets or for the expansion of existing service areas.

(11) Defined Benefit Plan

The Company provides a defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees of one of its subsidiaries. This benefit is limited to employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. Eligibility is achieved upon the completion of one year of service, with full vesting achieved after the completion of five years of service. The amount of benefit is determined using a two-part formula, one of which is based upon compensation and the other which is based upon a flat dollar amount.

The following table presents the components of net periodic pension benefit cost (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,

The Company contributed approximately $0.6 million and $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The Company’s fiscal 2007 contributions are anticipated to approximate $2.4 million.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is a party to, or otherwise involved in, lawsuits, claims, proceedings, investigations and other legal matters that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings, investigations and other legal matters which it is a party to, or otherwise involved in, due to, among other things, the inherent uncertainties of litigation, government investigations and proceedings and legal matters in general. The Company is also subject to requests and subpoenas for information in independent investigations. An unfavorable outcome in any of the lawsuits pending against the Company or in a government investigation or proceeding could result in substantial potential liabilities and have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, these proceedings, and the Company’s actions in response to these proceedings, could result in substantial potential liabilities, additional defense and other costs, increase the Company’s indemnification obligations, divert management’s attention, and/or adversely impact the Company’s ability to execute its business and financial strategies.

The U.S. government conducted an investigation into alleged discounts made in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with certain contracts related to the Company’s discontinued operations in the State of Texas. Specifically, the U.S. government alleged that certain of the Company’s contracts with medical facilities in effect in Texas prior to 2002 contained discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. The Company negotiated a settlement with the U.S. government pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay $2.5 million, plus interest at a rate of 4.63% per annum on such amount beginning on June 5, 2006, with such amount payable over seven months

28

beginning April 23, 2007. In consideration for such payment, the Company obtained a release from the U.S. government of all claims related to such alleged conduct in Texas prior to 2002. In connection with the settlement of the alleged conduct, the Company entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”), which is effective for a period of five years, beginning April 18, 2007. Pursuant to the CIA, the Company is required to maintain a compliance program that includes, among other things:

• The appointment of a compliance officer and committee;

• Training of employees nationwide;

• Enhancing procedures relating to certain of the Company’s contracting processes, including tracking contractual arrangements;

• Review by an independent review organization; and

• Reporting of certain reportable events.

Certain of these requirements are currently a part of the Company’s ongoing compliance program. Although this matter has been settled, there can be no assurances that other investigations or legal action related to these matters will not be pursued against the Company in other jurisdictions or for different time frames.

The Company is cooperating with an investigation by the U.S. government regarding the Company’s operations in the State of Ohio in connection with allegations of certain billing inaccuracies. Specifically, the government alleges that certain services performed in the years 1997 to 2001 did not meet Medicare medical necessity and reimbursement requirements. The government has examined sample records for each of the years stated above. The Company does not agree with the allegations and believes that there are errors in the sampling methodology performed by the government. Although the Company continues to disagree with the government’s allegations, the Company is engaged in settlement negotiations with the government and has made a preliminary offer of $1.3 million in exchange for a full release relating to the government’s allegations. Although there can be no assurances that a settlement agreement will be reached, any such settlement agreement would likely require the Company to make a substantial payment to the government and may require the Company to enter into a Corporate Integrity Agreement. If a settlement is not reached, the government has indicated that it will pursue further civil action. At this time, it is not possible to predict the ultimate conclusion of this investigation.

Regulatory Compliance

The Company is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity is ongoing with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers. The Company is from time to time subject to investigations relating to Medicare and Medicaid laws pertaining to its industry. The Company cooperates fully with the government agencies that conduct these investigations. See “Legal Proceedings” above. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in exclusion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. In connection with the CIA, the Company is in the process of enhancing its compliance program as discussed above. Under the existing compliance program, the Company initiates its own investigations and conducts audits to examine compliance with various policies and regulations. Internal investigations or audits may result in significant repayment obligations for patient services previously billed. The Company believes that it is substantially in compliance with fraud and abuse statutes and their applicable governmental interpretation.

Management believes that reserves established for specific contingencies of $4.0 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, (including $2.5 million the Texas matter described above at both March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006 and $1.3 million for the Ohio matter described above at March 31, 2007) are adequate based on information currently available.

(13) Subsequent Events

On May 10, 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rural/Metro LLC, made a $5.0 million unscheduled principal payment on its Term Loan B. In connection with this payment, the Company wrote-off approximately $0.1 million of deferred financing costs during fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Management’s Overview

Uncompensated care continues to be a key challenge to our Company in the third quarter. The increases we are experiencing are driven by a rise in write-offs associated with denials based on non-covered services (commercial insurance) and medical necessity established by each payer (Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance), as well as other variables that comprise our self-pay category of receivables. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007 uncompensated care write-offs by category are as follows:

• 57% of our uncompensated care is derived from uninsured patients;

• 20% of our uncompensated care stems from emergency and non-emergency transports provided to insured patients whose insurance plans do not include a benefit for medical transportation services. In the event commercially insured patients are transported and their insurance companies subsequently inform us the transports were not covered services, the unpaid balances become self-pay accounts;

• 15% of uncompensated care is related to transports that were deemed non-medically necessary subsequent to the transports being provided. We make all efforts to determine medical necessity on our non-emergency requests prior to transporting patients; however, there are times when Medicare, Medicaid or commercial insurance may deem, on a retrospective review, the transport not medically necessary and deny reimbursement. In these cases, the unpaid balances become self-pay accounts; and

• 8% of uncompensated care is derived from unpaid balances due for co-pay and deductible amounts from Medicare and commercial insurance beneficiaries. Medicare co-pay and deductible levels have remained consistent when compared to the prior year; however, changes in employer-provided healthcare insurance coverage levels may result in higher co-pays and deductibles to the employee, and these amounts become self-pay accounts.

It is our opinion that the best strategies to reduce uncompensated care and maximize reimbursement focus on the areas of technology, billing services, and case management. We believe that the strategies and initiatives we have developed will help to expedite and improve payments and minimize expenses related to uncompensated care.

Contract Updates

We announced during the quarter the start of one new 911 contract and the successful renewal of two 911 contracts and one specialty fire contract. In addition, the Company made the decision not to bid the 911 and non-emergency contract with Dona Anna County, New Mexico. The Company has served this contract since 2003.

30

Executive Summary

We provide both emergency and non-emergency medical transportation services, private fire protection and related services, and to a lesser extent, wheelchair transportation services in response to our customers’ needs.

Our medical transportation services business strategy focuses on obtaining exclusive 911 emergency medical transportation contracts within growing communities and subsequently expanding those operations to include non-emergency medical transportation services. We believe this approach diversifies our revenue stream, improves the utilization of our work force and vehicle fleet and enhances profitability.

Our medical transportation services are primarily provided under contract with governmental entities, hospitals, nursing homes, other healthcare facilities and public safety organizations. County and municipal governments may elect to outsource their 911 emergency medical transportation services to a private provider and solicit requests for proposals. These proposals typically stipulate response times and resource requirements, including dedicated 911 fleets. We experience varying levels of fleet dedication depending on the community we serve and its contract stipulations. Dedicated 911 resources cannot be utilized to provide non-emergency medical transports and we may, therefore, experience a lower utilization rate than resources deployed under an integrated system.

Our private fire protection services business strategy focuses on two areas: (1) subscription fire protection services, and (2) master contracts for on-site fire protection at airports and industrial sites.

Subscription fire services are marketed to residential and commercial property owners in growing unincorporated areas contiguous to urban population centers. These areas also present opportunities to expand our emergency and non-emergency medical transportation services, thereby enhancing our ability to leverage total resources in a marketplace.

Master fire protection services are primarily marketed to airport, industrial and other commercial sites and consist of on-site management and staffing of certified firefighters and emergency medical first responders.

Our fiscal 2007 third quarter and year-to-date results reflect our continued focus on enhancing shareholder value through:

• targeting new markets that present opportunities for sustainable and profitable growth;

• expanding existing 911-emergency medical transportation markets as we seek to further leverage our fixed base of labor and fleet assets to serve a growing demand for non-emergency medical transportation services;

• aligning growth with developing industry trends, including opportunities to partner with municipal systems or hospital-based ambulance systems;

• managing our business through continued investments in technology, including billing systems, electronic patient care records, electronic data management and labor management systems;

• enhancing risk management and workplace safety in order to reduce insurance expenses; and

• continuing to reduce debt and improving the Company’s capital structure.

Factors Affecting Operating Results

We have observed the following trends and events that have affected or are likely to affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Transport Volume

Our medical transportation and related services business is dependent upon transport volume, which may increase or decrease depending on population growth, age demographics and seasonal or one-time factors. Additionally, non-emergency transport volume is dependent on the number of healthcare facilities within any given community and the concentration of competitors in that area. We typically provide non-emergency medical transportation services to large healthcare systems under preferred provider contracts. We compete for non-emergency transports originating from smaller healthcare facilities and long-term care centers that are not under contract.

32

Uncompensated Care

The following table shows the source of our uncompensated care write-offs as a percentage of total uncompensated care write-off’s:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Non-covered services	22	%	16	%	20	%	16	%
Co-Pay/Deductible	7	%	7	%	8	%	9	%
Non-medically necessary	17	%	11	%	15	%	12	%
Uninsured	54	%	66	%	57	%	63	%
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%

The majority, 57.0 percent, of our uncompensated care write-off’s are generated from uninsured patients. The balance of our uncompensated care write-offs are derived from; (1) non-covered services (20.0 percent); (2) non-medically necessary transports (15.0 percent), and; (3) unpaid balances due for co-pay and deductible amounts from Medicare and commercial insurance beneficiaries (8.0 percent). These components are described in detail below;

Non-covered services: Certain commercial healthcare insurance programs do not feature a benefit for certain medical transportation services. In the event commercially insured patients are transported and their insurance companies subsequently inform us the transports were not covered services, the unpaid balances become self-pay accounts.

Co-pays and deductibles: Co-pay and deductible amounts under Medicare and commercial insurance programs are the responsibility of the patient. Medicare co-pay and deductible levels have remained consistent when compared to the prior year; however, changes in employer-provided healthcare insurance coverage levels may result in higher co-pays and deductibles to the employee under commercial insurance programs. These co-pay and deductible amounts become self-pay accounts.

Non-medically necessary transports: We make every effort to determine medical necessity prior to transporting a patient; however, there are times when Medicare or Medicaid or a commercial insurance provider may, on a retrospective review, deem the transport not medically necessary and deny reimbursement. In these cases, the unpaid balances become self-pay accounts.

In terms of transport volume, the self-pay patients we transport who are uninsured or otherwise have no ability to pay for our services have increased as a percent of our transport mix in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to 12.1 percent as compared to 11.0 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. We believe this increase is aligned with overall U.S. healthcare insurance trends.

Other factors that may, positively or negatively, impact amount of uncompensated care include:

1. Rate Increases: On a periodic basis, we evaluate our cost structure within each area we serve and, as appropriate, request rate increases. Ambulance rate increases generate additional revenue only from certain commercial insurance programs and self-pay patients, due to the fixed rates, co-pay amounts and deductibles of payers such as Medicare, Medicaid and certain commercial insurance. Rate increases applied to patients who are self-pay patients can compound an already challenging collection process. Increasing the dollars per transport on this payer group may in turn result in an increase in the uncompensated care.

2. Change in Payer Mix: From quarter to quarter the number of patients we transport within each payer group can vary. This shift in payers, ‘payer mix’ shift, may increases or decrease the levels of uncompensated care. For

33

instance, if we experience a shift from the Medicare payer group to the commercial insurance payer group we might expect to see a decrease in our uncompensated care write-offs due to a higher historical collection pattern associated with the commercial insurance payers.

Work Force Management

Our business strategy focuses on optimizing the deployment of our work force in order to meet contracted response times and otherwise maintain high levels of quality care and customer service. A key measure is our ability to efficiently and effectively manage labor resources and enhance operating results. Several factors may influence our labor management efforts, including our ability to maximize our mix of emergency and non-emergency transportation business, significant wait times associated with emergency rooms that delay redeployment and market-specific shortages of qualified paramedics and emergency medical technicians which affect temporary wages. We also may experience increases in overtime and training wages due to growth in transport volume related to new contracts, expansion in existing markets and seasonal transport demand patterns.

Insurance Programs

We continue to deploy our risk management strategy to close worker’s compensation and general liability claims promptly. We have also worked to minimize future insurance-related losses through proactive risk management and work place safety initiatives. These programs include the implementation of DriveCam technology in the ambulance fleet, ergonomic safety programs designed to reduce on-the-job injuries and complementary return to work, fit for duty and wellness programs.

New Accounting Standards

SFAS 159

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with the option to measure eligible items, including many financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS 159 requires disclosure of unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159, if any, shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company at the beginning of the fiscal 2009 year. We have not determined whether we will elect the fair value measurement provisions for our long-term debt obligations, nor have we determined the impact of any future election.

SFAS 158

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 , “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“SFAS 158”). This standard requires balance sheet

35

recognition of the funded status for all pension and postretirement benefit plans in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, this standard requires the measurement of the funded status of a plan as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year. The balance sheet recognition provisions of SFAS 158 are effective for us as of June 30, 2007, while the measurement date provisions are effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. As further discussed in Note 11, we have a defined benefit pension plan that will be subject to the provisions of SFAS 158. As of March 31, 2007, our defined benefit pension plan was overfunded. Since the benefit obligation will not be measured until June 30, 2007, we cannot yet quantify the actual impact the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. However, since we currently measure the funded status of our plan as of the end of our fiscal year, the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

SFAS 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosure about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

SAB 108

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). This statement provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessment. For prior year immaterial misstatements that are considered material under SAB 108, a one-time transitional cumulative adjustment would be made to beginning retained earnings in the first interim period in which the statement is adopted. SAB 108 is effective for us on June 30, 2007. We do not believe that the adoption of SAB 108 will have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

FIN 48

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

FSP 123(R)-3

In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards” (“FSP 123(R)-3”). Under the provisions of FSP 123(R)-3, entities may follow either the transition guidance for the additional-paid-in-capital pool as prescribed by SFAS 123(R) or elect to use the alternative transition method as described in FSP 123(R)-3. An entity that adopts SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application method may make a one-time election to adopt the transition method described in FSP 123(R)-3. We elected to use the alternative transition method provided in FSP 123(R)-3 to calculate the pool of windfall tax benefits as of the adoption date of SFAS 123(R).

Net revenue growth of $3.5 million, or 3.1 percent, resulted from a $1.5 million, or 1.6 percent, increase in net medical transportation and related services revenue and a $2.0 million, or 11.8 percent, increase in fire and other services revenue.

Operating expenses were $8.8 million higher for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior period primarily due to a $4.7 million increase in payroll and employee benefits and a 3.6 million increase in other operating expenses. These fluctuations are described in further detail below.

Net Revenue

The following table shows a comparison of consolidated net revenue by business (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006		$ Change		% Change
Medical transportation and related services	$	97,518	$	95,974	$	1,544	1.6	%

Total net revenue	$	116,000	$	112,509	$	3,491	3.1	%

Medical Transportation and Related Services

The $1.5 million increase in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by $1.9 million in new contract revenue offset by a $0.4 million decrease in same service area medical transportation revenue. The decrease in same service area medical transportation revenue included a $3.7 million increase related to medical transport volume offset by a $4.1 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC.

The following tables provide comparative details reflecting trends in transport volume on a quarterly basis. Results include same service area medical transports, new contracts, transports originating from 911 emergency calls and transports originating from non-emergency requests for medical transportation services.

A comparison of same service area and new contract medical transports is included in the table below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007	2006	Transport Change	% Change
Same service area medical transports	273,207	263,157	10,050	3.8	%
New contract medical transports	5,287	N/A	5,287	#
Medical transports from continuing operations	278,494	263,157	15,337	5.8	%
# — Variances over 100% not displayed

Medical transportation volume increased 5.8 percent from 263,157 transports for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to 278,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was a result of same service area transport growth of 10,050 transports and new contract transport growth of 5,287, which is due to our new contracts in Missouri, Utah and Washington.

A comparison of total transports is included in the table below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007	2006	Transport Change		% Change
Emergency medical transports	129,461	113,651	15,810		13.9	%
Non-emergency medical transports	149,033	149,506	(473	)	(0.3	%)
Total medical transports	278,494	263,157	15,337		5.8	%
Wheelchair transports	21,180	21,728	(548	)	(2.5	%)
Total transports from continuing operations	299,674	284,885	14,789		5.2	%

Total transport volume increased by 14,789 transports, or 5.2 percent. The wheelchair services provided to our non-emergency medical transportation customers. The decrease in wheelchair volume reflects our efforts to call screen seeking insurance documentation prior to scheduling the transport.

Net Medical Transport APC for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $326 compared to $341 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The 4.4 percent decrease reflects four drivers: increased transport rates offset by a concentration of transport growth within the emergency medical services sector, changes in the number of basic life support versus advance life support transports provided and an increase in uncompensated care. The emergency transport sector experiences a higher level of uncompensated care, which has been compounded by recent increases in uncompensated care due to co-pays, deductibles, medical necessity, and non-covered services. Additionally, national trends toward higher levels of uninsured patients have affected our results. Combined, these influences have driven Net Medical Transport APC down year-to-date.

Both contractual discounts and uncompensated care are reflected as a reduction of gross medical transportation revenue. A reconciliation of gross medical transportation services revenue to net medical transportation services revenue is included in the table below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			% of Net Revenue		2006			% of Net Revenue		Change			% Change
Gross Revenue	$	205,988		100.0	%	$	186,520		100.0	%	$	19,468		10.4	%
Contractual Discounts		(77,149	)	(37.5	%)		(64,911	)	(34.8	%)		(12,238	)	(18.9	%)
Uncompensated care		(31,321	)	(15.2	%)		(25,635	)	(13.7	%)		(5,686	)	(22.2	%)
Net Medical Transportation Revenue	$	97,518		47.3	%	$	95,974		51.5	%	$	1,544		1.6	%

Fire and Other Services

The increase in fire and other services revenue is primarily due to an increase in master fire fees of $1.2 million or 32%. In addition, fire subscription revenue grew $0.7 million, or 6.8 percent, of which $0.5 million, or 71.4 percent, was related to higher subscription rates and $0.2 million, or 28.6 percent, was related to an increase in the number of subscribers.

39

Operating Expenses

Payroll and Employee Benefits

The $4.7 million increase in payroll and employee benefits expense included $0.6 million increase in employee health insurance expense due to higher claims paid under our self-insured program, $0.8 million in payroll and employee benefit costs due to an increase in headcount as a result of hiring paramedics in our San Diego operation that were historically independent contractors and thus reflected in other operating expenses, competitive wage increases within specific markets to counter paramedic shortages and the balance due to increased transport volume. These increases were offset by a $1.4 million decrease in the management incentive plan accrual as a result of the Company not meeting certain year-to-date internal benchmarks.

Depreciation and Amortization

The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to higher depreciation expense as a result of increased capital expenditures during 2006 fiscal fourth quarter.

Other Operating Expenses

The $3.6 million increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $1.3 million reserve related to negotiations surrounding alleged billing inaccuracies within our Ohio operation for the years 1997 to 2001, a $0.5 million increase in professional fees associated with our external auditors and Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance resulting from a timing difference for fees expensed earlier in fiscal 2007 and a $0.2 million increase in professional fees related to the Company’s recent change in revenue recognition and inventory restatement. The remainder was attributable to increases in operating supplies expense, and fuel expense as a result of the higher volume of transports.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest of $0.1 million was primarily due to the continued non-cash accretion of our Senior Discount Notes, which totaled $2.0 million in the 2007 three-month period versus $1.7 million. The increase in interest expense pertaining to our Senior Discount Notes was offset by a decrease in the amortization of deferred financing costs, which is classified as a component of interest expense.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax provision consists primarily of deferred income tax expense, as we utilize net operating loss carryforwards to reduce federal and state taxes currently payable and the associated deferred tax benefits are realized. As a result, minimal current cash payments are required.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a $1.2 million income tax benefit related to continuing operations, including a deferred income tax benefit of $1.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.9 percent. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily as a result of increases for the portion of non-cash interest expense related to our Senior Discount Notes, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, non-deductible executive compensation, and state income taxes. This rate also includes certain adjustments to prior year tax provisions, which reduced our effective tax rate by 4.1 percent. Additionally, our effective tax rate includes a reduction related to income included in pretax income that is attributable to the minority interest in our joint venture with the City of San Diego.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 differs from the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 primarily as a result of our pretax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The permanent differences described above increase tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, resulting in an increase to the effective tax rate calculated on pre-tax income. However, these adjustments decrease the tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2007, resulting in a reduction to the effective tax rate calculated on the pre-tax loss.

40

We also recorded $45,000 in income tax benefit related to discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company made income tax payments of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded a $0.8 million income tax provision related to continuing operations, including a deferred income tax provision of $0.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 50.3 percent. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily as a result of increases for the portion of non-cash interest expense related to our Senior Discount Notes, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, non-deductible executive compensation, state income taxes, and certain adjustments to prior year tax provisions.

We also recorded $2.7 million in income tax benefit related to discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company made income tax payments of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Minority Interest

Minority interest relates to the City of San Diego’s portion (50 percent) of the San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, LLC fiscal year-to-date net income.

Discontinued Operations

During fiscal 2006, we made the decision to exit two medical transportation markets and, as a result, the financial results of these service areas for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $4.6 million and includes an income tax benefit of $2.7 million. Loss from discontinued operations before the impact of the income tax benefit was $7.3 million and included $2.6 million in additional estimates for uncompensated care, a $1.0 million goodwill write-off related to the closure of the New Jersey operation, and a $2.5 million reserve related to settlement negotiations with the U.S. government regarding the alleged violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with certain contracts related to the Company’s discontinued operations in the State of Texas. Income (loss) from discontinued operations excludes the allocation of certain shared services costs such as human resources, financial services, risk management and legal services, among others. These ongoing services and associated costs will be redirected to support new markets or for the expansion of existing service areas.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006—Segments

Overview

We have four regional reporting segments that correspond with the manner in which our operations are managed and evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer. Although some of our operations do not align with the Segments’ geographic designation, all operations have been structured to capitalize on management’s strengths. These segments comprise operations within the following areas:

Segment	Operations
Mid-Atlantic	Georgia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
South	Alabama, California (fire), Florida (fire), Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey (fire), Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin
Southwest	Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon (fire)
West	California (medical transportation), Florida (medical transportation), Colorado, Oregon (medical transportation), Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, Utah

41

Each reporting segment provides medical transportation services while our fire and other services are predominantly in the South and Southwest Segments.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements have also been followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial information for each reporting segment. For management purposes, segment profitability is defined as income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest, income taxes and minority interest. Additionally, corporate overhead allocations have been included within segment profits. Segment results presented below reflect continuing operations only.

The key drivers that impact net medical transportation revenues include transport volume, rates charged for such services, mix of payers, the acuity of the patients we transport, the mix of activity between emergency medical transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation services, our ability to negotiate government subsidies as well as other competitive and market factors. The main drivers of fire and other revenue are fire subscription rates and the number of subscribers. These drivers can vary significantly from market-to-market and can change over time.

Mid-Atlantic

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the Mid-Atlantic operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC and DSO):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	24,438		$	23,004		$	1,434		6.2	%
Other services		912			1,035			(123	)	(11.9	%)
Total net revenue	$	25,350		$	24,039		$	1,311		5.5	%
Segment profit	$	2,564		$	2,949		$	(385	)	(13.1	%)
Segment profit margin		10.1	%		12.3	%
Medical transports		71,514			71,466			48		0.1	%
Wheelchair transports		5,655			5,963			(308	)	(5.2	%)
Net Medical Transport APC	$	319		$	299		$	20		6.7	%
DSO		54			58			(4	)	(6.9	%)

The $1.4 million increase in net medical transportation and related services revenue is entirely attributable to an increase in Net Medical Transport APC within the Segment. The decrease in wheelchair transports is a function of continued call screening efforts to ensure insurance coverage prior to scheduling the transport.

Payroll-related expense decreased $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is due to full deployment of the proprietary scheduling system that assists in managing overtime costs, reduced health insurance costs within specific markets, and reduced workers compensation expense as a result of better claims management. Other operating expenses increased $1.7 million primarily due to a one-time $1.3 million reserve recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $1.3 million reserve related to negotiations surrounding alleged billing inaccuracies within our Ohio operation for the years 1997 to 2001.

The increase in Net Medical Transport APC was primarily a result of increased transport rates and a decrease in uncompensated care write-offs.

43

South

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the South operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC, fire subscriptions and DSO):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	17,961		$	15,464		$	2,497		16.1	%
Fire and other services		5,950			5,278			672		12.7	%
Total net revenue	$	23,911		$	20,742		$	3,169		15.3	%
Segment profit	$	1,698		$	1,405		$	293		20.8	%
Segment profit margin		7.1	%		6.8	%
Medical transports		64,841			58,449			6,392		10.9	%
Wheelchair transports		4,584			3,324			1,260		37.9	%
Net Medical Transport APC	$	259		$	248		$	11		4.4	%
Fire subscriptions at period end		34,325			34,870			(545	)	(1.6	%)
DSO		65			71			(6	)	(8.5	%)

The $2.5 million increase in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by a $0.7 million in new contract revenue and a $1.8 million increase in same service area medical transport revenue. The increase in same service area medical transport revenue includes a $1.2 million increase related to medical transport volume and a $0.6 million increase in Net Medical Transport APC. The increase in medical transports was primarily in the Indiana, Kentucky and Cincinnati markets. The increase in fire and other services revenue was primarily driven by an increase of $0.3 million attributable to a new master airport contract in Florida. The increase in wheelchair transports is specific to the Birmingham market where such transports were outsourced until August 2006. The slight decrease in the number of fire subscriptions reflects bundling subscription arrangements under home owner association contracts instead of contracting directly to individual homeowners.

Payroll-related expense increased $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to wage increases and sign-on bonuses used to attract and retain talent, an increase in overtime due to staffing shortages throughout the Segment, offset by reduced health insurance costs within specific markets and reduced workers compensation expense as a result of better claims management. Other operating expenses increased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is due to operating supplies expenses, fuel costs and vehicle-related maintenance expenses associated with higher transport volume.

The increase in the Net Medical Transport APC can be attributed to a decrease in uncompensated care during the 2007 third quarter.

DSO decreased 6 days due to the segments focused efforts to shorten the ‘days to bill’ process and improved billing documentation.

44

Southwest

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the Southwest operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC, fire subscriptions and DSO):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	32,290		$	33,969		$	(1,679	)	(4.9	%)

Total net revenue	$	43,984		$	43,926		$	58		0.1	%
Segment profit	$	3,451		$	5,557		$	(2,106	)	(37.9	%)
Segment profit margin		7.8	%		12.7	%
Medical transports		68,828			67,005			1,823		2.7	%
Wheelchair transports		3,354			4,287			(933	)	(21.8	%)
Net Medical Transport APC	$	458		$	496		$	(38	)	(7.7	%)
Fire subscriptions at period end		84,542			82,373			2,169		2.6	%
DSO		63			47			16		34.0	%

The $1.7 million decrease in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by a $0.9 million increase related to medical transport volume offset by a $2.6 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC. The increase in fire and other services revenue is primarily due to a 2.6 percent growth in the number of fire subscriptions and higher fire subscription rates.

Payroll-related expenses were $27.1 million in the 2007 fiscal third quarter, up $2.3 million or 9.2 percent from $24.8 million in the 2006 fiscal third quarter. The increase is primarily due to a wage increase in the Arizona market to counter paramedic shortages and to retain existing workforce, increased headcount, increased health insurance expense and increased defined benefit pension plan cost for certain union employees. Other operating expenses decreased $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to prior year. The decrease in other operating expenses was due to the institution of a standard scheduled maintenance program for fire apparatus, the completion of legacy leases and the elimination of various professional fees associated with the prior years franchise protection efforts.

The decrease in Net Medical Transport APC is attributed to a continued upward trend in the factors driving an increase in self-pay accounts. The factors impacting this Segment the most include co-pay, deductibles under Medicare and Commercial insurance programs, the Medicare and/or Medicaid intermediary’s retrospective determination of non-medical necessity, and insurance companies subsequently informing us the transport is not a covered service.

DSO increased 16 days primarily as a result of the extended collection cycle related to increases in the number of self-pay patients.

Net Medical Transport APC	$	268		$	312		$	(44	)	(14.1	%)
DSO		90			77			13		16.9	%

The $0.7 million decrease in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by $1.2 million in new contract revenue offset by a $1.9 million decrease in same service area medical transport revenue. The decrease in same service area medical transport revenue included a $1.3 million increase related to transport volume offset by a $3.2 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC.

Payroll-related expenses increased $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to $0.8 million attributed to an increase in headcount as a result of hiring paramedics in the San Diego operation that were historically independent contractors and thus reflected in other operating expenses and wage increases to counter paramedic shortages and to retain existing workforce. Other operating expenses decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the reduction in the use of independent contractors in the San Diego operation.

The decrease in Net Medical Transport APC is attributed to a continued upward trend in the factors driving an increase in self-pay accounts. The factors impacting this Segment the most include co-pay, deductibles under Medicare and Commercial insurance programs, the Medicare and/or Medicaid intermediary’s retrospective determination regarding medical necessity, and insurance companies subsequently informing us the transport is not a covered service.

DSO increased 13 days as a result of a disruption in collections related to certain Medicaid payers in Washington and Colorado.

Net revenue growth of $12.5 million, or 3.7 percent, consisted of a $7.1 million, or 2.5 percent, increase in net medical transportation and related services revenue and a $5.4 million, or 10.9 percent, increase in fire and other services revenue.

Operating expenses were $22.1 million higher for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior period primarily due to a $17.3 million increase in payroll and employee benefits, a $2.5 million increase in other operating expenses and a $1.4 million net gain on sale of assets not recurring in this fiscal year. These fluctuations are described in further detail below.

Net Revenue

The following table shows a comparison of consolidated net revenue by business (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006		$ Change		% Change
Medical transportation and related services	$	294,892	$	287,744	$	7,148	2.5	%

Total net revenue	$	349,782	$	337,238	$	12,544	3.7	%

Medical Transportation and Related Services

The $7.1 million increase in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by $5.6 million in new contract revenue and a $1.5 million increase in same service area medical transportation revenue. The increase in same service area medical transportation revenue included a $6.3 million increase related to medical transport volume offset by a $4.8 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC.

The following tables provide comparative details reflecting trends in transport volume on a year-to-date basis. Results include same service area medical transports, new contracts, transports originating from 911 emergency calls and transports originating from non-emergency requests for medical transportation services.

A comparison of same service area and new contract medical transports is included in the table below:

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007	2006	Transport Change	% Change
Same service area medical transports	800,308	783,142	17,166	2.2	%
New contract medical transports	15,380	N/A	15,380	#
Medical transports from continuing operations	815,688	783,142	32,546	4.2	%
# — Variances over 100% not displayed

Medical transportation volume increased 4.2 percent from 783,142 transports for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 to 815,688 transports for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007. This increase resulted from same service area transport growth of 17,166 transports and 15,380 transports from our new contracts in Florida, Utah, Washington and Missouri.

48

A comparison of total transports is included in the table below:

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007	2006	Transport Change	% Change
Emergency medical transports	378,866	346,756	32,110	9.3	%
Non-emergency medical transports	436,822	436,386	436	0.1	%
Total medical transports	815,688	783,142	32,546	4.2	%
Wheelchair transports	64,459	59,633	4,826	8.1	%
Total transports from continuing operations	880,147	842,775	37,372	4.4	%

Total transport volume increased by 37,372 transports, or 4.4 percent. Medical transport growth accounted for 87.1 percent of total transport growth, and an increase in wheelchair transports accounted for 12.9 percent of total transport growth. The increase in wheelchair volume reflects transports previously outsourced.

Net Medical Transport APC for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was $336 compared to $343 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The 2.0 percent decrease reflects four drivers; increased transport rates offset by a concentration of transport growth year-to-date within the emergency medical services sector, changes in the number of basic life support versus advance life support transports provided and an increase in uncompensated care. The emergency transport sector experiences a higher level of uncompensated care, which has been compounded by recent increases in uncompensated care due to co-pays, deductibles, medical necessity, and non-covered services. Additionally, national trends toward higher levels of uninsured patients have affected our results. Combined these influences have driven Net Medical Transport APC down year-to-date.

Both contractual discounts and uncompensated care are reflected as a reduction of gross medical transportation revenue. A reconciliation to gross medical transportation services revenue to net medical transportation services revenue is included in the table below (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007			% of Net Revenue		2006			% of Net Revenue		$ Change			% Change
Gross Revenue	$	592,566		100.0	%	$	544,573		100.0	%	$	47,993		8.8	%
Contractual Discounts		(211,297	)	(35.7	%)		(184,981	)	(34.0	%)		(26,316	)	(14.2	%)
Uncompensated care		(86,377	)	(14.6	%)		(71,848	)	(13.2	%)		(14,529	)	(20.2	%)
Net Medical Transportation Revenue	$	294,892		49.8	%	$	287,744		52.8	%	$	7,148		2.5	%

Fire and Other Services

The increase in fire and other services revenue is primarily due to fire subscription revenue growth totaling $3.5 million, or 10.8 percent, of which $3.0 million, or 85.7 percent, was related to higher subscription rates and $0.5 million, or 14.3 percent, was related to an increase in the number of subscribers. Additionally, master fire fees increased $2.0 million due to increases in various master fire contract rates and other revenue decreased $0.1 million primarily due to hurricane relief revenue recognized in the prior year.

49

Operating Expenses

Payroll and Employee Benefits

The $17.3 million increase in payroll and employee benefits expense included a $2.7 million increase in employee health insurance expense due to higher claims paid under our self-insured program, $2.2 million in payroll and employee benefit costs due to an increase in headcount as a result of hiring paramedics in our San Diego operation that were historically independent contractors and thus reflected in other operating expenses, a $1.1 million increase in severance expense, which is payable to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, $0.4 million is attributable an increase in employer contribution costs associated with the defined benefit pension plan of one of our subsidiaries, competitive wage increases within specific markets to counter paramedic shortages and the balance due to increased transport volume.

Depreciation and Amortization

The increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million or 11 percent in the 2007 versus 2006 nine-month period is primarily due to higher depreciation expense as a result of increased capital expenditures during the 2006 fiscal fourth quarter.

Other Operating Expenses

The $2.5 million increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $1.3 million reserve related to negotiations surrounding alleged billing inaccuracies within our Ohio operation for the years 1997 to 2001, and a $1.1 million increase in operating supplies and other vehicle expenses as a result of the higher volume of transports.

Gain on Sale of Assets

The decrease in gain on sale of assets was due to a $1.3 million pre-tax gain on the sale of real estate located in Arizona, which was recognized in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006. Cash proceeds from this transaction totaled $1.6 million.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense of $0.6 million was primarily due to the continued non-cash accretion of our Senior Discount Notes, which totaled $5.7 million in the 2007 nine-month period versus $5.1 million in the 2006 nine-month period.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax provision consists primarily of deferred income tax expense, as we utilize net operating loss carryforwards to reduce federal and state taxes currently payable and the associated deferred tax benefits are realized. As a result, minimal current cash payments are required.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a $3.0 million income tax provision related to continuing operations, including a deferred income tax provision of $2.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 71.0 percent. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily as a result of increases for the portion of non-cash interest expense related to our Senior Discount Notes, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, non-deductible executive compensation, and state income taxes. This rate also includes certain adjustments to prior year tax provisions, which increased our effective tax rate by 3.5 percent. Additionally, our effective tax rate includes a reduction related to income included in pretax income that is attributable to the minority interest in our joint venture with the City of San Diego. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 differs from the effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of lower pretax income for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, which increases the tax rate effect of the permanent differences described above.

We also recorded $0.1 million in income tax provision related to discontinued operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The Company made income tax payments of $0.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

50

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded a $6.8 million income tax provision related to continuing operations, including a deferred income tax provision of $5.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 46.9 percent. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily as a result of increases for the portion of non-cash interest expense related to our Senior Discount Notes, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, non-deductible executive compensation, state income taxes, and certain adjustments to prior year tax provisions.

We also recorded $2.6 million in income tax benefit related to discontinued operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The Company made income tax payments of $0.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

Minority Interest

Minority interest relates to the City of San Diego’s portion (50.0 percent) of the San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, LLC fiscal year-to-date net income.

Discontinued Operations

During the 2006 fiscal year, we made the decision to exit two medical transportation markets and, as a result, the financial results of these service areas for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

Loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $4.7 million and includes an income tax benefit of $2.6 million. Loss from discontinued operations before the impact of the income tax benefit was $7.3 million and included $3.4 million in additional estimates for uncompensated care, a $1.0 million goodwill write-off related to the closure of the New Jersey operation, and a $2.5 million reserve related to settlement negotiations with the U.S. government regarding the alleged violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with certain contracts related to our discontinued operations in the State of Texas. Income (loss) from discontinued operations excludes the allocation of certain shared services costs such as human resources, financial services, risk management and legal services, among others. These ongoing services and associated costs will be redirected to support new markets or for the expansion of existing service areas.

Nine months ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Nine months ended March 31, 2006 — Segments

Overview

We have four regional reporting segments that correspond with the manner in which our operations are managed and evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer. Although some of our operations do not align with the Segments’ geographic designation, all operations have been structured to capitalize on management’s strengths. These segments comprise operations within the following areas:

Segment	Operations
Mid-Atlantic	Georgia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
South	Alabama, California (fire), Florida (fire), Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey (fire), Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin
Southwest	Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon (fire)
West	California (medical transportation), Florida (medical transportation), Colorado, Oregon (medical transportation), Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, Utah

Each reporting segment provides medical transportation services while our fire and other services are predominantly in the South and Southwest Segments.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements have also been followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial information for each reporting segment. For management purposes, segment profitability is defined as income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest, income taxes and minority interest. Additionally, corporate overhead allocations have been included within segment profits. Segment results presented below reflect continuing operations only.

The key drivers that impact net medical transportation revenues include transport volume, rates charged for such services, mix of payers, the acuity of the patients we transport, the mix of activity between emergency medical transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation services, our ability to negotiate government subsidies as well as other competitive and market factors. The main drivers of fire and other revenue are fire subscription rates and the number of subscribers. These drivers can vary significantly from market-to-market and can change over time.

Mid-Atlantic

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the Mid-Atlantic operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC and DSO):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	72,935		$	70,520		$	2,415		3.4	%
Other services		2,774			2,739			35		1.3	%
Total net revenue	$	75,709		$	73,259		$	2,450		3.3	%
Segment profit	$	12,365		$	11,218		$	1,147		10.2	%
Segment profit margin		16.3	%		15.3	%
Medical transports		216,862			216,463			399		0.2	%
Wheelchair transports		17,928			16,019			1,909		11.9	%
Net Medical Transport APC	$	312		$	302		$	10		3.3	%
DSO		54			58			(4	)	(6.9	%)

The $2.4 million increase in net medical transportation and related service revenue is entirely same service area growth. This growth in same service area medical transportation revenue includes a $0.1 million increase related to medical transport volume and a $2.3 million increase in Net Medical Transport APC. The increase in wheelchair transports is a function of the broad range of services provided to our non-emergency medical transportation customers.

Payroll-related expense decreased $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily attributable to full deployment of the proprietary scheduling system that assists in managing overtime costs, reduced health insurance costs within specific markets, and reduced workers compensation expense as a result of better claims management. Other operating expenses increased $1.3 million due to a $1.3 million reserve related to negotiations surrounding alleged billing inaccuracies within our Ohio operation for the years 1997 to 2001.

The increase in Net Medical Transport APC was primarily a result of increased transport rates and a decrease in uncompensated care write-offs.

53

South

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the South operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC, fire subscriptions and DSO):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	51,367		$	48,556		$	2,811		5.8	%
Fire and other services		17,494			15,998			1,496		9.4	%
Total net revenue	$	68,861		$	64,554		$	4,307		6.7	%
Segment profit	$	6,346		$	7,250		$	(904	)	(12.5	%)
Segment profit margin		9.2	%		11.2	%
Medical transports		186,024			175,511			10,513		6.0	%
Wheelchair transports		12,855			9,761			3,094		31.7	%
Net Medical Transport APC	$	256		$	258		$	(2	)	(0.8	%)
Fire subscriptions at period end		34,325			34,870			(545	)	(1.6	%)
DSO		65			71			(6	)	(8.5	%)

The $2.8 million increase in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by a $0.7 million in new contract revenue and a $2.1 million increase in same service area medical transportation revenue. The increase in same service area medical transportation revenue included a $2.4 million increase related to medical transport volume offset by a $0.3 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC. The increase in medical transports was primarily in the Indiana, Kentucky and Cincinnati markets. The increase in fire and other services revenue was primarily driven by an increase of $0.3 million attributable to a new airport contract in Florida. The slight decrease in the number of fire subscriptions reflects bundling subscription arrangements under homeowners association contracts instead of contracting directly to individual homeowners. The increase in wheelchair transports is specific to the Birmingham market where such transports were outsourced until August 2006.

Payroll-related expense increased $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to wage increases and sign-on bonuses used to attract and retain talent, an increase in overtime due to staffing shortages throughout the Segment offset by reduced health insurance costs within specific markets and reduced workers compensation expense as a result of better claims management. Other operating expenses increased $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 due to fuel and operating supply expense associated with higher transport volume.

The decrease in Net Medical Transport APC is attributed to the increase in uncompensated care resulting from the impact of the consolidation of the Segment’s billing center in the prior year. In the three months ended March 31, 2007 the segment is seeing a positive change in uncompensated care trends.

DSO decreased 6 days due to the Segments focused efforts to shorten the ‘days to bill’ process and improved billing documentation.

54

Southwest

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the Southwest operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC, fire subscriptions and DSO):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	96,318		$	99,510		$	(3,192	)	(3.2	%)
Fire and other services		34,195			30,416			3,779		12.4	%
Total net revenue	$	130,513		$	129,926		$	587		0.5	%
Segment profit	$	12,259		$	20,283		$	(8,024	)	(39.6	%)
Segment profit margin		9.4	%		15.6	%
Medical transports		195,152			194,999			153		0.1	%
Wheelchair transports		10,095			11,361			(1,266	)	(11.1	%)
Net Medical Transport APC	$	482		$	499		$	(17	)	(3.4	%)
Fire subscriptions at period end		84,542			82,373			2,169		2.6	%
DSO		63			47			16		34.0	%

The $3.2 million decrease in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by a $0.1 million increase related to medical transport volume offset by a $3.3 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC. The increase in fire and other services revenue is due to 2.6 percent growth in the number of fire subscriptions and higher fire subscription rates.

Payroll-related expense increased $7.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to a wage increase in the Arizona market to counter paramedic shortages and retain existing workforce, increased headcount, increased health insurance expense and increased defined benefit plan costs for certain union employees. Other operating expenses decreased $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the institution of a standard scheduled maintenance program for fire apparatus, the completion of legacy ambulance leases, and the elimination of various professional fees associated with the prior years franchise protection efforts. Additionally, in the prior year the Southwest Segment benefited from a one-time pre-tax gain on the sale of real estate.

The decrease in Net Medical Transport APC is attributed to a continued upward trend in the factors driving an increase in self-pay accounts. The factors impacting this Segment the most include co-pay, deductibles under Medicare and Commercial insurance programs, the Medicare and/or Medicaid intermediary’s retrospective determination of non-medical necessity, and insurance companies subsequently informing us the transport is not a covered service.

DSO increased 16 days primarily as a result of the extended collection cycle related to increases in the number of self-pay patients.

55

West

The following table presents financial results and key operating statistics for the West operations (in thousands, except medical transports, wheelchair transports, Net Medical Transport APC and DSO):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change
	2007			2006
Net revenue
Medical transportation and related services	$	74,272		$	69,158		$	5,114		7.4	%

Total net revenue	$	74,699		$	69,499		$	5,200		7.5	%
Segment profit	$	5,729		$	6,650		$	(921	)	(13.8	%)
Segment profit margin		7.7	%		9.6	%
Medical transports		217,650			196,169			21,481		11.0	%
Wheelchair transports		23,581			22,492			1,089		4.8	%
Net Medical Transport APC	$	297		$	309		$	(12	)	(3.9	%)
DSO		90			77			13		16.9	%

The $5.1 million increase in medical transportation and related services revenue was driven by $4.8 million in new contract revenue and a $0.3 million increase in same service area medical transportation revenue. The increase in same service area medical transportation revenue included a $2.9 million increase related to transport volume offset by a $2.6 million decrease in Net Medical Transport APC. The transport rate calculation is primarily impacted by three components; customer rate increases, mix of payer group being transported, and uncompensated care.

Payroll-related expense increased $5.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in payroll and employee benefit costs due to an increase in headcount as a result of hiring paramedics in the San Diego operation that were historically independent contractors and thus reflected in other operating expenses, and wage increases to counter paramedic shortages and to retain existing workforce. Other operating expenses remained flat for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to prior year. The Segment experienced an increase in fuel and operating supplies as a result of higher transport volumes which was offset by the reclassification of paramedics, under the San Diego operation, to payroll expense.

The decrease in Net Medical Transport APC is attributed to a continued upward trend in the factors driving an increase in self-pay accounts. The factors impacting this Segment the most include co-pay, deductibles under Medicare and Commercial insurance programs, the Medicare and/or Medicaid intermediary’s retrospective determination of non-medical necessity, and insurance companies subsequently informing us the transport is not a covered service.

DSO increased 13 days as a result of a disruption in collections related to certain Medicaid payers in Washington and Colorado.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, general liability and workers’ compensation claim reserves and deferred tax asset recoverability. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have identified the following accounting policies as critical to understanding our results of operations. The discussion below is not intended to represent a comprehensive list of our accounting policies.

Medical Transportation and Related Services Revenue Recognition

Medical transportation and related services fees are recognized when services are provided and are recorded net of discounts applicable to Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payers and net of estimates for uncompensated care. Because of the length of the collection cycle with respect to medical transportation and related services fees, it is necessary to estimate the amount of these adjustments at the time revenue is recognized. The collectibility of these fees is analyzed using historical collection experience within each service area. Using collection data resident in our billing system, we estimate the percentage of gross medical transportation and related services fees that will not be collected and record provisions for both discounts and uncompensated care. The portion of the provision allocated to discounts is based on historical write-offs relating to such discounts as a percentage of the related gross revenue recognized for each service area. The ratio is then applied to current period gross medical transportation and related services fees to determine the portion of the provision that will be recorded as a reduction in revenue. The remaining amount of the provision is classified as uncompensated care and is also recorded as a reduction of revenue. If the historical data used to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect the ultimate collectibility of the current revenue stream, revenue could be overstated or understated. Discounts applicable to Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payers related to continuing operations, which are reflected as a reduction of medical transportation and related services revenue, totaled $77.1 million and $211.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively and $64.9 million and $185.0 million for three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.

Uncompensated care can be affected by a variety of factors, including the number of patients we transport that do not pay us for the medical services we provide, a sustained disruption in collections, and the quality of our billing documentation and procedures. The estimate for uncompensated care that is applied to gross medical transportation and related services fee revenue is calculated as the difference between the total expected collection percentage less contractual discounts described above. If historical data used to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect the ultimate collectibility of the current revenue stream, the estimate for uncompensated care may be overstated or understated. The estimate for uncompensated care on medical transportation revenue from continuing operations totaled $31.3 million and $86.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively and $25.6 million and $71.8 million for three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we changed our accounting policy relating to the classification of estimated uncollectible amounts related to self-pay patients. This change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively in accordance with SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. We now reflect revenue net of estimated uncompensated care, and this Quarterly Report reflects such change. Previously, we recorded revenue at full established rates and recorded a provision for estimated amounts not expected to be realized as an operating expense. The amended financial statements resulting from this change in accounting policy do not change the previously reported operating income, net income, earnings per share, and operating cash flows.

57

Insurance Claim Reserves

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to accident, injury and professional liability claims. Additionally, certain of our operational contracts, as well as laws in certain of the areas where we operate, require that specified amounts of insurance coverage be maintained. In order to minimize the risk of exposure and comply with such legal and contractual requirements, we carry a broad range of insurance policies, including comprehensive general liability, automobile, property damage, professional, workers’ compensation and other lines of coverage. We typically renew each of these policies annually and purchase limits of coverage at levels management believes are appropriate, taking into account historical and projected claim trends, reasonable protection of our assets and operations and the economic conditions in the insurance market. Depending upon the specific line of coverage, the total limits of insurance maintained may be achieved through a combination of primary policies, excess policies and self-insurance.

We retain certain levels of exposure with respect to our general liability and workers’ compensation programs and purchase coverage from third party insurers for exposures in excess of those levels. In addition to expensing premiums and other costs relating to excess coverage, we establish reserves for claims, both reported and incurred but not reported, on a gross basis using currently available information as well as our historical claims experience. We also recognize a receivable from our insurers for amounts expected to be recovered in excess of our retention. We periodically evaluate the financial capacity of our insurers to assess the recoverability of the related receivables.

We engage third-party administrators (“TPAs”) to manage claims resulting from our general liability and workers’ compensation programs. The TPAs establish initial loss reserve estimates at the time a claim is reported and then monitor the development of the claim over time to confirm that such estimates continue to be appropriate. Management periodically reviews the claim reserves established by the TPAs and engages independent actuaries to assist with the evaluation of the adequacy of its reserves on a semi-annual basis. We adjust our claim reserves with an associated charge or credit to expense as new information on the underlying claim is obtained.

Reserves related to workers’ compensation claims totaled $13.0 million and $12.6 million at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Reserves related to general liability claims totaled $16.8 million and $19.5 million at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record valuation allowances to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in estimates of future taxable income can materially change the amount of such valuation allowances.

Asset Impairment

We review our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable by comparing the carrying amount of such assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. In cases where the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the related carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. The fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved.

58

Our goodwill balances are reviewed for impairment annually (and interim periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related asset may be impaired) using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We perform our annual impairment test on June 30.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to service our long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various restrictions and covenants contained in our debt agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities which in turn is subject to, among other things, future operating performance as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control.

If we fail to generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities, we may need to borrow additional funds or issue additional debt or equity securities to achieve our longer-term business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to borrow such funds or issue such debt or equity securities or, if we can, that we can do so at rates or prices acceptable to us. Management believes that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash balances and amounts available under our $20.0 million Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements through March 31, 2008. To the extent that actual results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.

Cash Flow

Throughout the year, we experience significant periodic outflows of cash for debt service, capital expenditures, workers compensation and general liability insurance premium deposits, 401(k) matching contributions and management bonuses.

These outflows include $6.2 million in semi-annual interest payments on our Senior Subordinated Notes payable on September 15 and March 15. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 we made $14.0 million and $16.0 million in unscheduled principal payments, respectively, and made $6.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in interest payments associated with our Term Loan B. In addition to cash outflows associated with debt service, we made payments totaling $9.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively, for capital expenditures, made payments of $1.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, associated with our defined benefit pension plan, made payments of $4.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, associated with our Management Incentive Plan during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. In addition, we funded the calendar 2005 and 2004 employer match 401(k) liability of $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we also paid a settlement of $0.5 million in conjunction with a legal matter in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Deposits on our annual workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs are typically paid in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. These deposits totaled $2.6 million and $5.8 million in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

59

The table below summarizes cash flow information for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	21,394		$	15,397
Net cash used in investing activities		(2,830	)		(11,312	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(14,858	)		(15,854	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $21.4 million and $15.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $2.0 million decrease in net income was offset by a $0.5 million increase in non-cash charges and a $7.5 million increase in net operating assets during the nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the corresponding nine months of fiscal 2006. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to the following: (1) a $1.3 million reserve recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 related to negotiations surrounding alleged billing inaccuracies within our Ohio operation for the years 1997 to 2001; (2) severance benefits payable to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer totaling $1.1 million that were recognized in first quarter of fiscal 2007; and (3) a $1.3 million pre-tax gain recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 attributable to the sale of real estate in Arizona. The increase in non-cash charges is primarily due to an increase in the earnings of the minority shareholder in our joint venture. The increase in net operating assets is primarily attributable to the buildup of accounts receivable during the nine-months ended March 31, 2006.

We had working capital of $38.3 million at March 31, 2007, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $6.7 million, compared to working capital of $40.8 million, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $9.2 million, at June 30, 2006. The decrease in working capital as of March 31, 2007 is primarily due to a reduction in our short-term investments, which were liquidated during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 in order to fund our $7.0 million unscheduled prepayment on our Term Loan B, which we made in March 2007.

DSO increased 7 days from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007, primarily due to the disruption in collections related to certain Medicaid managed care payers in Arizona which accounts for 3 days of the 7 day total increase. Additionally, collection delays stemming from the consolidation of three regional billing locations in fiscal 2006 also contributed to the increase in DSO.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities includes the purchase and sale of short-term investments, capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. We invest excess funds in highly liquid, short-term taxable auction rate securities. We had gross sales of such securities of $21.8 million and $42.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. We had gross purchases of such securities of $15.6 million and $42.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. Our auction rate securities balance at March 31, 2007 was zero as a result of our decision to liquidate the balance in order to fund our $7.0 million unscheduled principal payment on our Term Loan B that was made in March 2007. We had capital expenditures totaling $9.7 million and $12.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Financing Activities

Financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 include $14.0 million of unscheduled principal payments on our Term Loan B, the tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, proceeds from the issuance of common stock,

60

repayment of debt and minority shareholder distributions. The reduction in current year stock option exercises contributed to a $0.3 million decrease in cash provided by the issuance of common stock and a $0.6 million decrease in the tax benefit realized from the exercise of such options. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we made distributions of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to the City of San Diego, the minority shareholder in our joint venture.

Debt Covenants

The 2005 Credit Facility, Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount Notes include various financial and non-financial covenants as well as quarterly and annual financial reporting obligations.

Specifically, the 2005 Credit Facility, as amended, requires Rural/Metro LLC and its subsidiaries to meet certain financial tests, including a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2005 Credit Facility also contains covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers, prepayments of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, capital expenditures, business activities by the Company, as a holding company, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

We were in compliance with all of our covenants, as amended, under our 2005 Credit Facility at March 31, 2007 as shown below.

Financial Covenant	Level Specified in Agreement	Level Achieved for Specified Period	Level to be Achieved June 30, 2007
Debt leverage ratio	< 4.75	4.02	< 4.75
Interest expense coverage ratio	> 2.00	2.48	> 2.00
Fixed charge coverage ratio	> 1.10	1.38	> 1.10
Maintenance capital expenditure (1), (2)	N/A	N/A	< $22.0 million
New business capital expenditure (2)	N/A	N/A	< $4.0 million

(1) Capital expended in the normal course of operating in existing markets.

(2) Measured annually at June 30^th.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are key indicators that management uses to evaluate our operating performance. While EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table sets forth our EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, as well as a reconciliation to income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP (in thousands):

(1) At March 31, 2007, the Company had accrued approximately $1.1 million in severance benefits pursuant to the employment agreement of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer. This amount is included in payroll and employee benefits expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

(2) The Company’s EBITDA reconciliation has been modified to include book overdraft balances as an operating activity consistent with the classification used in the statement of cash flows for all periods. As a result of this reclassification, net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 is $9.6 million, which is different from the previously reported amount of $11.9 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, consolidated EBITDA from continuing operations of $7.0 million included a 150 basis point increase in uncompensated care as a percentage of gross medical transport revenue. Consolidated EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $11.9 million.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, consolidated EBITDA from continuing operations of $35.4 million included a 140 basis point increase in uncompensated care as a percentage of gross medical transport revenue and the negative impact of a $0.6 million increase in minority interest associated with our joint venture with the City of San Diego. Consolidated EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 of $44.8 million included the positive impact of a $1.3 million gain on the sale of real estate in Arizona.

Subsequent Events

Unscheduled principal payment

On May 10, 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rural/Metro LLC, made a $5.0 million unscheduled principal payment on its Term Loan B. In connection with this payment, the Company wrote-off approximately $0.1 million of deferred financing costs during fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on our borrowing activities. Under our 2005 Credit Facility, amounts outstanding under Term Loan B bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25 percent and amounts drawn under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25 percent. Based on amounts outstanding under Term Loan B at March 31, 2007, a 1 percent increase in the LIBOR rate would increase our interest expense on an annual basis by approximately $0.9 million. The remainder of our debt is primarily at fixed interest rates. We monitor the risk associated with interest rate changes and may enter into hedging transactions, such as interest rate swap agreements, to mitigate the related exposure. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of interest rate changes on our short-term investment activities. We had no investments in auction rate securities at December 31, 2006.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report (March 31, 2007). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2007, solely because of the material weakness described below.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2007. The Company did not maintain effective internal controls over the classification of certain durable medical equipment within inventory. Specifically, the Company did not have effective procedures to detect that certain durable medical equipment was improperly included in inventory. As previously reported, this control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Company’s fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 annual consolidated financial statements, the interim consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters within the fiscal years in 2006 and 2005, and the interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a material misstatement of inventory and operating expenses that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In an effort to remediate the material weakness described above, the Company has conducted and completed a review of its controls relating to accounting for inventory, and corrected its method of accounting. Additionally, management enhanced its controls and procedures related to the performance and analysis of periodic physical inventory counts so as to properly identify items that should be excluded from the inventory balance.

63

These enhancements include:

• New and additional analytics designed to identify potential issues with inventory counts; and

• An additional level of review of inventory.

Although these enhancements have been completed, they have not yet operated for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate operating effectiveness. As such, management currently expects that this material weakness will be remediated by June 30, 2007.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The items noted above were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

64

Part II — Other Information.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information contained in Footnote 12 to the consolidated financial statements is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II — Item 1 of this quarterly report.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere herein should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our business.

We may fail to receive reimbursements from third-party payers.

We provide medical transportation services on a fee-for-service basis and collect a substantial portion of our revenue from third-party payers, including private insurance programs and government-funded healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. We recognize revenue when we provide medical transportation services; however, the reimbursement process is complex and there can be lengthy delays before we receive payment. In addition, third-party payers may disallow, in whole or in part, requests for reimbursement based on assertions that certain amounts and services are not reimbursable or that additional supporting documentation is necessary. Retroactive adjustments made by third-party payers may change amounts realized from them. We received approximately 90 and 91 percent of our medical transportation fee collections from third-party payers during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, including approximately 27 percent and 28 percent from Medicare during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, and approximately 15 percent from Medicaid for both fiscal years. To the extent our claims are not reimbursed or allowed, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to successfully collect amounts billed directly to individual patients.

We are required to provide emergency medical transportation service regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. We face the risk of not being paid by individuals who require emergency medical transportation service and the risk of increased rates of non-payment should the number of such individuals using our services increase. Our failure to receive payments from a significant number of individual patients could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Claims against us could exceed our insurance coverage; we may not have coverage for certain claims.

We are subject to a significant number of accident, injury and patient care incident lawsuits as a result of the nature of our business and day-to-day operations. Some of these lawsuits may involve large claim amounts and substantial defense costs. In order to minimize the risk of our exposure, we maintain insurance coverage for workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability and professional liability claims. In certain limited instances we may not have coverage for certain claims. When we do have coverage, the coverage limits of our policies may not be adequate. Liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Claims against us, regardless of their merit or outcome, also may have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.

65

We may experience future increases in the cost of our insurance programs that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

An increase in our claim experience may result in increases in our insurance premiums. If we experience increases in our premiums, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Two insurance companies with which we have previously done business are in liquidation proceedings and we may be required to cover a portion of claims covered by these insurers or lose deposits we have with them.

Two of our previous workers’ compensation and general liability programs insurers, Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), from whom we purchased coverage for policy years 1992 through 2000, and Legion Insurance Company (“Legion”), from whom we purchased coverage in 2001 and 2002, are currently in liquidation proceedings in Pennsylvania. In the event that we incur workers’ compensation or general liability claims for the policy years covered by these insurers and they are not covered by the applicable insurer or state guaranty fund, we may be required to fund any losses related to such claims. As of March 31, 2007, we had letters of credit totaling $3.7 million issued on behalf of Reliance along with $0.7 million of cash on deposit with Mutual Indemnity, a Legion affiliate. The liquidation proceedings may result in the loss of all or part of the collateral and/or funds currently held by these insurers, and may result in restricted access to both insurance and reinsurance proceeds relating to our general liability program. A requirement to fund significant claims or the loss of some or all of the amounts posted as collateral could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, result of operations and cash flows.

Our revenues may decline if Medicare reduces the reimbursements it pays to us or changes its programs.

Our revenues may decline if Medicare reduces its reimbursement rates or otherwise changes its current Medicare fee schedule. We received approximately 27 percent and 28 percent of our medical transportation fee collections from Medicare during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Any reductions in reimbursement rates or other changes to the Medicare fee schedule could result in a reduction in reimbursements we receive for our medical transportation services.

Some state and local governments regulate our rate structures and may limit our ability to increase our rates or maintain a satisfactory rate structure.

State or local government regulations or administrative policies regulate the rates we can charge in some states for medical transportation services. For example, the State of Arizona establishes the rates we may charge in the Arizona communities we serve. Medical transportation services revenue generated in Arizona accounted for approximately 33 percent and 31 percent of net revenue for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. In some service areas in other states in which we are the exclusive provider of services, the municipality or fire district sets the rates for emergency medical transportation services pursuant to a master contract and establishes the rates for general medical transportation services. In areas where we are regulated, there is no assurance that we will receive medical transportation service rate increases on a timely basis, or at all.

Due to budget deficits in many states, significant decreases in state funding for Medicaid programs have occurred or are proposed. Some states have reduced the scope of Medicaid eligibility and coverage. For example, patients covered by Medicare are required to make a 20 percent co-payment for medical transports. In most states, Medicaid makes this co-payment on behalf of its insureds (this is called a “cross-over payment”). Indiana recently passed legislation eliminating crossover payments by Medicaid and prohibiting medical transportation providers from collecting the 20 percent co-payment from patients. Other states have proposed taking similar steps.

If we are not able to charge satisfactory rates in one or more of the communities in which we operate it could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations or cash flows.

66

Our business is subject to laws, rules and regulations that can impose fines, penalties or other liabilities, revoke necessary licenses or otherwise cause material adverse effects.

Numerous laws, rules and regulations govern the medical transportation and fire fighting service business covering matters such as licensing, rates, employee certification, environmental matters and radio communications. Certificates of Need that certain states may employ to award market rights to geographic areas may change. Master contracts from governmental authorities are subject to risks of cancellation or unenforceability as a result of budgetary and other factors and may subject us to certain liabilities or restrictions.

Any failure to comply with all, or any changes in, applicable laws, rules and regulations could result in the revocation of contracts or licenses to conduct business in the relevant jurisdictions, fines or cause other material adverse effects. Federal and state laws also can require the owner or operator of real property to clean up historic contamination (or pay for that cleanup), without regard to fault.

Changes to existing programs also can create unanticipated risks.

Certain governmental actions could:

• change existing laws, rules or regulations;

• adopt new laws, rules or regulations that increase our cost of doing business;

• lower reimbursement levels; or,

• otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our business is subject to substantial regulation and, if we fail to comply with all applicable laws and government regulations, we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

We are subject to extensive regulation at both the federal and state levels. The laws that directly or indirectly affect our ability to operate our business include the following:

• federal laws (including the Federal False Claims Act) that prohibit entities and individuals from knowingly or recklessly making claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other government programs, as well as third-party payers, that contain false or fraudulent information;

• a provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the “anti-kickback statute,” that prohibits the knowing and willful offering, payment, solicitation or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate or other remuneration in return for the referral or recommendation of patients for items and services covered, in whole or in part, by federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid;

• a provision of the Social Security Act that imposes criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to disclose or refund known overpayments;

• similar state law provisions pertaining to anti-kickback, self-referral and false claims issues which typically are not limited to relationships with federal payers;

• provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program or falsifying,

67

concealing or covering up a material fact or making any material false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services;

• federal laws that impose civil administrative sanctions for, among other violations, inappropriate billing of services to federally funded healthcare programs, and employing individuals who are excluded from participation in federally funded healthcare programs;

• reassignment of payment rules that prohibit certain types of billing and collection practices in connection with claims payable by the Medicare and Medicaid programs and some other payers programs and some other payers;

• provisions of HIPAA limiting how healthcare providers may use and disclose individually identifiable health information and the security measures taken in connection with that information and related systems, as well as similar state laws; and

• federal and state laws governing medical transport services, including the licensing or certification of medical transportation service providers, training and certification of medical personnel, the scope of services that may be provided by medical personnel, staffing requirements, medical control, medical procedures, communications systems, vehicles and equipment.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations described above or the other laws and regulations which govern our activities, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, exclusion from federal healthcare programs, damages, fines and the curtailment of our operations. Any material penalties, individually or in the aggregate, would adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risk of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are sometimes open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.

Healthcare laws and regulations may change significantly in the future. We monitor these developments and modify our operations from time to time where we perceive a need to do so in response to the regulatory changes. However, we cannot assure you that any new healthcare laws or regulations will not materially adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that a review of our business by judicial, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations or that healthcare regulation will not change in a way that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our contracts with healthcare facilities and marketing practices are subject to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and we recently entered into a settlement for alleged violations of that statute.

We are subject to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of “remuneration” in return for, or to induce, the referral of business or ordering of services paid for by Medicare or other federal programs. “Remuneration” potentially includes discounts and in-kind goods or services, as well as cash. Certain federal courts have held that the Anti-Kickback Statute can be violated if “one purpose” of a payment is to induce referrals. Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute can result in imprisonment, civil or criminal fines or exclusion from Medicare and other governmental programs.

In 1999, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or the OIG, issued an Advisory Opinion indicating that discounts provided to health facilities on the transports for which they are financially responsible potentially violate the Anti-Kickback Statute when the ambulance company also receives referrals of Medicare and other government-funded transports from the facility. The OIG has clarified that not all discounts violate

68

the Anti-Kickback Statute, but that the statute may be violated if part of the purpose of the discount is to induce the referral of the transports paid for by Medicare or other federal programs, and the discount does not meet certain “safe harbor” conditions. In the Advisory Opinion and subsequent pronouncements, the OIG has provided guidance to ambulance companies to help them avoid unlawful discounts.

Like other ambulance companies, we have provided discounts to our healthcare facility customers (nursing home and hospital) in certain circumstances. We have attempted to comply with applicable law when such discounts are provided. However, the government alleged that certain of our hospital and nursing home contracts in effect in Texas in periods prior to 2002 contained discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and in 2007 we entered into a settlement with the government regarding these allegations. The settlement included a CIA.

There can be no assurance that other investigations or legal action related to our contracting practices will not be pursued against us in other jurisdictions or for different time frames. See Part II — Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.” If we are found to have violated the Anti-Kickback Statute, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, including exclusion from the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or may be required to enter into settlement agreements with the government to avoid such sanctions. Typically, such settlement agreements require substantial payments to the government in exchange for the government to release its claims, and may also require us to enter into a CIA.

In addition to our contracts with healthcare facilities, other marketing practices or transactions entered into by us may implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Although we have attempted to structure our past and current marketing initiatives and business relationships to comply with the Anti-Kickback Statute, we cannot assure you that the OIG of the HHS or other authorities will not find that our marketing practices and relationships violate the statute.

If we fail to comply with the terms of our settlement agreements with the government, we could be subject to additional litigation or other governmental actions which could be harmful to our business.

In the last two years, we have entered into two settlement agreements with the United States government. In October 2005, one of our subsidiaries, Sioux Falls Ambulance, Inc., entered into a settlement agreement to resolve allegations related to billing and documentation practices. In April 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve allegations that certain subsidiaries of Rural/Metro within the State of Texas provided discounts to healthcare facilities in Texas in periods prior to 2002 in violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. See Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.”

As part of the settlement Sioux Falls Ambulance entered into with the government, we entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement, or CIA, which is still in effect. Pursuant to this CIA, we are required to establish and maintain a compliance program with respect to the Sioux Falls operation which includes, among other elements, the appointment of a compliance officer and committee, review by an independent review organization, and reporting of overpayments and other “reportable events.” In connection with the April 2007 settlement for Rural/Metro Corporation, we also entered into a CIA which requires us to maintain a national compliance program which includes the training of employees and safeguards involving our contracting process nationwide (including tracking of contractual arrangements in certain specified states).

We cannot assure you that the CIAs or the compliance program we have initiated has prevented, or will prevent, any repetition of the conduct or allegations that were the subject of these settlement agreements, or that the government will not raise similar allegations in other jurisdictions or for other periods of time. If such allegations are raised, or if we fail to comply with the terms of the CIAs, we may be subject to fines and other contractual and regulatory remedies specified in the CIAs or by applicable laws, including exclusion from the Medicare program and other federal and state healthcare programs. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on the conduct of our business, our financial condition or our results of operations.

69

HIPAA regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business either if we fail to comply with the regulations or as a result of the costs associated with compliance.

The privacy standards under HIPAA took effect April 14, 2001 and cover all individually identifiable health information used or disclosed by a healthcare provider. HIPAA establishes standards concerning the privacy, security and the electronic transmission of patients’ health information. Under the statute, there are civil penalties of up to $100 per violation (not to exceed $25,000 per calendar year for each type of violation) and criminal penalties for knowing violations of up to $250,000 per violation. The enforcing agency, the Office of Civil Rights (the “OCR”) of the Department of Health and Human Services, has announced a compliance-based and compliance improvement type of enforcement program. We believe there is not sufficient basis to understand OCR’s enforcement posture and the potential for fines which may result from OCR’s finding of a violation of the privacy regulations. The significant costs associated with compliance and the potential penalties as a result of our failure to comply with the rule could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

HIPAA also mandates compliance with the approved HIPAA format when we submit claims electronically. We are filing claims in the approved HIPAA format with all of our Medicare plans. In addition, we await announcements from the commercial insurers regarding their compliance with the electronic claims submission requirements.

The final security rule, which became effective April 20, 2005, requires healthcare suppliers and other entities to set security standards for health information and to maintain reasonable and appropriate safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of this information. It also requires that we protect health information against unauthorized use or disclosure. We believe we have developed the appropriate policies and procedures to comply with the final security rule. Failure to do so could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows due to: (i) significant costs associated with continued compliance under HIPAA or related legislative enactments, (ii) potential fines from our noncompliance, (iii) adverse affects on our collection cycle arising from non-compliance or delayed HIPAA compliance by our payers, customers and other constituents or (iv) impacts to the healthcare industry as a whole that may directly or indirectly cause a material adverse affect on our business.

Providers and suppliers in the health care industry, such as us, are the subject of federal and state investigations related to billing and other matters.

Both federal and state government agencies have pursued civil and criminal enforcement efforts related to billing and other matters as part of numerous ongoing investigations of healthcare companies and their executives and managers. Although there are a number of civil and criminal statutes that can be applied to healthcare providers, a significant number of these investigations involve the Federal False Claims Act. These investigations can be initiated not only by the government but also by a private party asserting direct knowledge of fraud. These “qui tam” whistleblower lawsuits may be initiated against any person or entity alleging such person or entity has knowingly or recklessly presented, or caused to be presented, a false or fraudulent request for payment from the federal government, or has made a false statement or used a false record to get a claim approved. Penalties for False Claims Act violations include fines ranging from $5,500 to $11,000 for each false claim, plus up to three times the amount of damages sustained by the federal government. A False Claims Act violation may provide the basis for exclusion from the federally-funded healthcare programs. In addition, some states have adopted similar insurance fraud, whistleblower and false claims provisions.

From time to time, we receive requests and subpoenas for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory and investigative authority, and are likely to be subject to such requests and subpoenas for information in the future. We review such requests and subpoenas and attempt to take appropriate action. We are also subject to requests and subpoenas for information in independent investigations. A determination by a regulatory or investigative

70

authority in any of these investigations that we have violated the Federal False Claims Act or another civil or criminal statute could result in significant penalties or exclusion from federally-funded healthcare programs, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting could harm stockholder and business confidence on our financial reporting, our ability to obtain financing and other aspects of our business. Maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports.

As of June 30, 2006, we concluded that we had a material weakness in our internal control related to inventory. The existence of a material weakness is an indication that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of this material weakness, management’s assessment as of June 30, 2006 concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective. It is also possible that additional material weaknesses will be identified in the future.

Because we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective and because our independent registered public accountants issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and to the extent we identify future weaknesses or deficiencies, there could be material misstatements in our financial statements and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. As a result, our ability to obtain additional financing, or obtain additional financing on favorable terms, could be materially and adversely affected which, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, our financial condition and the market value of our securities. In addition, perceptions of us could also be adversely affected among customers, lenders, investors, securities analysts and others. This current material weakness or any future weaknesses or deficiencies could also hurt confidence in our business and consolidated financial statements and our ability to do business with these groups.

We are the subject of certain lawsuits, which if determined adversely to us, could harm our business.

We are a party to, or otherwise involved in, lawsuits, claims, proceedings and other legal matters that have arisen in the ordinary course of conducting our business. We cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings and other legal matters to which we are a party to, or otherwise involved in, due to, among other things, the inherent uncertainties of litigation, government investigations and proceedings and legal matters generally. An unfavorable outcome in any of the lawsuits pending against us, including those described above, could result in substantial potential liabilities and have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations, our liquidity, our operations, and/or our ability to comply with any debt covenants. Further, these proceedings, and our actions in response to these proceedings, could result in substantial potential liabilities, additional defense and other costs, increase our indemnification obligations, divert management’s attention, and/or adversely affect our ability to execute our business and financial strategies.

We are dependent on maintaining our business relationships.

We depend to a great extent on contracts with municipalities or fire districts to provide emergency medical transportation services. Contracts or other agreements with municipalities, counties or fire districts may have certain budgetary approval constraints. Failure to allocate funds for a contract may adversely affect our ability to continue to perform services without suffering significant losses. In addition, most of our contracts are terminable by either party upon agreed notice periods or upon the occurrence of certain events of default. We may not be successful in retaining our existing contracts or in obtaining new contracts for emergency medical transportation or other services. The loss or cancellation of several of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

71

Areas in which we provide subscription fire protection services may be converted to tax-supported fire districts or annexed by municipalities.

We provide residential and commercial fire protection services on a subscription-fee basis to property owners in unincorporated areas who do not receive services through municipal fire departments, volunteer fire departments, or fire protection districts. If several of the areas in which we provide subscription services were to convert to tax-supported fire districts or be annexed by municipalities, the loss of those arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We may not accurately assess the costs of or revenues generated by new contracts, which could adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

Our new contracts increasingly involve a competitive bidding process. When we obtain new contracts, we must accurately assess the costs we will incur in providing services, as well as other factors such as expected transport volume, geographical issues affecting response time and the implementation of technology upgrades, in order to realize adequate profit margins or otherwise meet our financial and strategic objectives. Increasing pressures from healthcare payers to restrict or reduce reimbursement rates at a time when the costs of providing medical services continue to increase make assessing the costs associated with the pricing of new contracts, as well as maintenance of existing contracts, more difficult. In addition, integrating new contracts, particularly those in new geographic locations, could prove more costly, and could require more management time, than we anticipate. Our failure to accurately predict costs or to negotiate an adequate profit margin could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We face risks in attempting to terminate unfavorable contracts prior to their stated termination date because of the possibility of forfeiting performance bonds and the potential material adverse effect on our public relations, business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are in a highly competitive industry. If we do not compete effectively, we could lose business or fail to grow.

The medical transportation service industry is highly competitive. We compete to provide our emergency medical transportation services with governmental entities, hospitals, local and volunteer private providers and private providers, including national and regional providers such as American Medical Response. In order to compete successfully, we must make continuing investments in our fleet, facilities, and operating systems. We believe that counties, fire districts and municipalities and health-care institutions consider the following factors in awarding a contract:

• quality of medical care;

• historical response time performance;

• customer service;

• financial stability;

• personnel policies and practices;

• managerial strength; and

• cost.

Some of our current competitors and certain potential competitors may have access to greater capital and other resources than us. Counties, municipalities, fire districts, and healthcare organizations that currently contract for medical transportation services could choose to provide medical transportation services directly in the future. We may

72

experience increased competition from fire departments in providing emergency medical transportation service. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete to provide our medical transportation services.

Municipal fire departments, tax-supported fire districts and volunteer fire departments represent the principal providers of fire protection services for residential and commercial properties. Private companies represent only a small portion of the total fire protection market and generally provide services where a tax-supported municipality or fire district has decided to contract for these services or has not assumed the financial responsibility for fire protection. In these situations, we provide services for a municipality or fire district on a contract basis or provide fire protection services directly to residences and businesses who subscribe for this service.

Private providers, such as Wackenhut Services, Inc., also provide fire protection services to airports and industrial sites. We cannot assure you that:

• we will be able to continue to maintain current contracts or subscriptions or to obtain additional fire protection business on a contractual or subscription-fee basis;

• fire districts or municipalities will not choose to provide fire protection services directly in the future; or

• we will be able to successfully compete with private providers of fire protection services.

The departure of our key management could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our success depends upon our ability to recruit and retain key management personnel. We could experience difficulty in retaining our current key management personnel or in attracting and retaining necessary additional key management personnel. We have entered into employment agreements with some, but not all of our executive officers and certain other key management personnel. Failure to retain or replace our key management may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We may not be able to successfully recruit and retain healthcare professionals with the qualifications and attributes desired by us and our customers.

Our ability to recruit and retain healthcare professionals significantly affects our business. Medical personnel shortages in some of our market areas currently make the recruiting, training and retention of full-time and part-time personnel more difficult and costly. Our internal growth will require the addition of new personnel. Failure to retain or replace our medical personnel or to attract new personnel may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We may not pay dividends.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently plan to retain any earnings for use in our business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements as well as other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our senior subordinated notes due 2015, senior discount notes due 2016 and our credit facilities contain restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends, and any future borrowings may contain similar restrictions.

It may be difficult for a third party to acquire us and this could depress our stock price.

We are a Delaware company which has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan pursuant to which we issued one preferred stock purchase right, or a Right, for each outstanding share of common stock (See “Description of Capital Stock — Preferred Stock” and “Description of Capital Stock — Shareholder Rights Plan”). Our Shareholder Rights Plan could

73

make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit security holders. The rights issued under the plan have certain anti-takeover effects. The rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us in a manner or on terms not approved by our Board of Directors. Anti-takeover provisions in Delaware law, certain provisions of our charter and the Shareholder Rights Plan could depress our stock price and may result in entrenchment of existing management, regardless of their performance.
