MEDICAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
July 31, 2000
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the periods ended July 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
October 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended October 31, 1999.
Certain balances from the financial statements for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the
current fiscal year.
2. RESTRUCTURING AND CLOSURE EXPENSES
During the quarter ended April 30, 2000, the Company conducted an
intensive review of its corporate staff and each of its operating subsidiaries.
At the conclusion of this review, a decision was made to restructure or
eliminate certain management positions. In addition, the Company decided to
close two of its offices in Boise, Idaho and Mansfield, Texas due to ongoing
operating losses and negative cash flows in these geographic areas.
As a result of these decisions, the Company incurred certain
restructuring and closure expenses that totaled approximately $521,000 during
the quarter ended April 30, 2000. These restructuring and closure costs and
expenses included (a) the write-off of customer lists and certain other non-cash
write-offs, as well as legal fees, travel expense, severance expense, consulting
fees and employee benefit accruals, all of which amounted to $398,395 in the
aggregate and (b) the write-down of certain supplies and consumables inventories
in conjunction with the closures in Idaho and Texas in the amount of $123,000
(included in cost of sales for the quarter ended April 30, 2000).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis,
particularly in the final paragraph of "Liquidity and Capital Resources," and
elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-QSB are forward-looking statements. These
statements discuss, among other things, expected growth, future revenues and
future performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, including the following: (a) changes in levels of competition
from current competitors and potential new competition; (b) loss of a
significant customer; and (c) changes in availability or terms of working
capital financing from vendors and lending institutions. The foregoing should
not be construed as an exhaustive list of all factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements
made by us. Although we believe the expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds
of our knowledge of our business, a number of factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements,
whether oral or written, made by us or on our behalf.
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
percentage of net revenues represented by certain items included in the
Statements of Income:

</TABLE>
QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1999
For the quarter ended July 31, 2000, net revenue was $2,636,000,
compared to net revenue of $3,047,000 during the quarter ended July 31, 1999,
a decrease of $411,000, or 13.5%. The decrease in net revenue is principally
the result of (1) a decrease in disposable and equipment sales of $216,000,
(2) a decrease in medical rental revenue of $236,000 and (3) a decrease in
other revenue of $41,000. The decreases in revenue were primarily the result
of the closure of the facilities in Boise, Idaho and Mansfield, Texas during
the second quarter ended April 30, 2000.
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation expense) for the quarter ended
July 31, 2000 totaled $1,141,000, versus cost of revenue of $1,091,000 in the
second quarter of the prior fiscal year, an increase of $50,000, or 4.6%, from
cost of revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. The increase in cost
of revenue is primarily attributable to higher cost of equipment sales during
the third quarter of fiscal year 2000. As a percentage of revenue, cost of
revenue increased to 43.3% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 from 35.8%
in the comparable quarter of fiscal year 1999.

<PAGE>
Depreciation expense directly attributable to net revenue was $448,000
for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 compared to $427,000 during the same quarter
of fiscal 1999, an increase of $21,000, or 5.0%. This increase in depreciation
expense is principally the result of the addition of equipment since the third
quarter of fiscal year 1999.
Gross profit during the quarter ended July 31, 2000 was $1,046,000,
compared to gross profit of $1,529,000 during the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year, a decrease of $483,000, or 31.6%. As a percentage of net revenues,
gross profit fell from 50.2% during the third quarter of fiscal 1999 to 39.7%
during the quarter ended July 31, 2000. The decrease in the amount of gross
profit is principally the result of the factors described previously.
For the quarter ended July 31, 2000, selling expenses totaled $501,000,
compared to selling expenses of $598,000 during the same quarter of fiscal year
1999, a decrease of $97,000, or 16.2%. As a percentage of net revenue, selling
expenses decreased slightly from 19.6% in the quarter ended July 31, 1999 to
19.0% in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. The decrease in selling
expenses is primarily related to the closure of the facilities in Boise, Idaho
and Mansfield, Texas.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses increased to $510,000 in the
quarter ended July 31, 2000 from $447,000 in the quarter ended July 31, 1999, an
increase of $63,000, or 14.1%. As a percentage of net revenue, G&A expenses
increased from 14.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 1999 to 19.4% in the
third quarter of the current fiscal year. The increase in the amount of G&A
expense is primarily attributable to higher compensation costs and an increase
in professional fees.
Interest expense for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 was $267,000,
compared to $306,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year, a
decrease of $39,000, or 12.8%. The decrease in interest expense is the result of
lower interest expense on capital leases nearing maturity.
The loss before income taxes was $233,000 for the quarter ended July 31,
2000, compared to income before taxes of $177,000 for the quarter ended July 31,
1999, a negative variance of $410,000. The loss before income taxes, as a
percentage of revenue, was 8.8% in the quarter ended July 31, 2000, compared to
income before taxes equal to 5.8% of revenue in the quarter ended July 31, 1999.
This variance occurred as a result of the aforementioned factors.

<PAGE>
NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999
For the nine months ended July 31, 2000, net revenue was $8,685,000
compared to net revenue of $9,196,000 during the nine months ended July 31,
1999, a decrease of $511,000, or 5.6%. The decrease in net revenue is
principally the result of (1) a decrease in disposable and equipment sales of
$369,000, (2) a decrease in medical rental revenue of $340,000 and (3) a
decrease in biomedical revenue of $63,000, all of which were offset in part by
an increase of $259,000 in laser surgical services revenue. The decreases in
revenue were principally the result of the closure of the facilities in Boise,
Idaho and Mansfield, Texas during the quarter ended April 30, 2000.
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation expense) for the nine months
ended July 31, 2000 totaled $3,767,000, compared to cost of revenue of
$3,428,000 for the comparable nine months of the prior fiscal year, an increase
of $339,000, or 9.9%. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily attributable
to (1) the write-off of inventories in Boise, Idaho and Mansfield, Texas in
connection with the closure of these facilities and (2) higher cost of equipment
sales during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2000. Cost of revenue
as a percentage of revenues increased from 37.3% in the first nine months of
fiscal year 1999 to 43.4% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2000.
Depreciation expense directly attributable to net revenue for the nine
months ended July 31, 2000 totaled $1,346,000 compared to $1,238,000 during the
comparable period of fiscal 1999, an increase of $108,000, or 8.7%. This
increase in depreciation expense is principally the result of the addition of
equipment since the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.
Gross profit during the nine months ended July 31, 2000 was $3,572,000,
compared to gross profit of $4,530,000 during the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year, a decrease of $958,000, or 21.2%. As a percentage of net revenue,
gross profit decreased from 49.3% during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 to
41.1% during the nine months ended July 31, 2000. The decrease in the amount of
gross profit is principally the result of the factors described previously.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2000, selling expenses were
$1,539,000, compared to selling expenses of $1,600,000 for the first nine months
of fiscal year 1999, a decrease of $61,000, or 3.8%. As a percentage of net
revenue, selling expenses increased slightly from 17.4% in the nine months ended
July 31, 1999 to 17.7% in the nine months ended July 31, 2000. The decrease in
selling expenses is primarily a result of the closure of facilities in Boise,
Idaho and Mansfield, Texas.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased to $1,416,000 in
the nine months ended July 31, 2000 from $1,469,000 in the nine months ended
July 31, 1999, a decrease of $53,000, or 3.6%. As a percentage of net revenue,
G&A expenses increased slightly from 16.0% in the first nine months of fiscal
year 1999 to 16.3% in the comparable nine months of fiscal year 2000. The
decrease in the amount of G&A expense is primarily attributable to a reduction
of management personnel related to corporate restructuring during the second
quarter of the current fiscal year, offset in part by higher compensation costs
and higher professional fees during the quarter ended July 31, 2000.
Restructuring and closure expenses for the nine months ended July 31,
2000 totaled $398,000. There were no such expenses during the same period of the
prior fiscal year. See Note 2 above for a discussion of these expenses.
Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 was $847,000,
compared to $928,000 in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year, a
decrease of $81,000, or 8.7%. The decrease in interest expense is the result of
lower interest expense on capital leases nearing maturity.
The loss before income taxes was $629,000 for the nine months ended July
31, 2000, compared to income before taxes of $534,000 for the nine months ended
July 31, 1999, a negative variance of $1,163,000. The loss before income taxes,
as a percentage of revenue, was 7.2% in the nine months ended July 31, 2000,
compared to income before taxes of 5.8% as a percentage of revenue in the nine
months ended July 31, 1999. This variance occurred as a result of the
aforementioned factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity requirements arise from the funding of our working capital
needs, principally accounts receivable and inventories, as well as our capital
expenditure needs. Our primary sources for working capital have historically
been borrowings under debt facilities, leasing arrangements, trade payables and
the sale of our Common Stock.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2000, net cash provided by
operating activities was $1,260,000, which resulted primarily from net loss of
$629,000 adjusted for (a) depreciation and amortization expense of $1,483,000,
(b) the write-off of customer lists of $151,000, (c) a provision for doubtful
accounts of $63,000 and (d) a net decrease of approximately $225,000 in working
capital items, all of which were offset in part by a gain on sales of assets of
approximately $33,000.
Net cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended July
31, 2000 was $1,362,000, which consisted of (a) capital expenditures of
$1,503,000 and (b) an increase of $105,000 in deposits and other assets, both of
which were offset in part by proceeds from sale of assets of approximately
$246,000.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2000, net cash provided by
financing activities totaled $64,000, consisting of (a) $126,000 in net proceeds
from the issuance of common stock, (b) $200,000 in borrowings on subordinated
notes payable, (c) $333,000 in borrowings on a note payable to a bank and (d)
$1,247,000 in borrowings on long-term debt, all of which were offset in part by
(d) $588,000 in principal payments on long-term debt and (e) $1,254,000 in
principal payments on capital lease obligations.
The bank term loan and bank line of credit prohibit the payment of cash
dividends and require us to maintain certain levels of net worth, to operate
profitably and to generate certain ratios of cash flows to debt service. As of
July 31, 2000, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants. In
addition, we had exceeded our borrowing base on the bank line of credit by
approximately $388,000 as of July 31, 2000.
We are working with the bank to address these issues. Among the
potential solutions to the over advance on the bank line of credit is a sale of
common stock through a private placement. We are currently in negotiations with
certain non-related parties to issue common stock in the amount of approximately
$1.5 million. The net proceeds from such a private placement would be used to
pay down the bank line of credit, as well as to address other working capital
requirements.
If this private placement is completed, we will then negotiate new loan
covenants with the bank. However, although we expect to complete this private
placement, we cannot be certain that such a transaction will be completed or
that, if completed, the bank will waive the default of its loan covenants or
amend such covenants. Failure to complete the private placement or to obtain a
waiver or amendment from the bank could have a material adverse impact on our
financial position.
