              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1.           Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q 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 the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report to shareholders, which are
incorporated by reference in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2.           Long-term Debt

                  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had a line-of-credit
agreement with its banks, PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc., National City Bank,
Louisville, Kentucky, and Suntrust Bank, Nashville, N.A., which is subject to a
maximum borrowing of $35 million including provisions for letters of credit. As
of September 30, 1996, letters of credit in the amount of $5.9 million were
outstanding against the line of credit. Under terms of the agreement, the
Company is provided a cash management system in which accounts are replenished
daily for checks clearing the previous day. Account replenishments are applied
against the line of credit. Uncleared checks in the amount of $2.8 million were
outstanding at September 30, 1996 and are reflected in long-term debt. The
agreement contains certain covenants pertaining to net worth, current ratio,
ratio of total-funded debt to net worth and debt service coverage. The Company
was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 1996. In addition to
the $35 million line-of-credit, the Company has a separate $4 million term loan
from the banks which is due April 30, 1999.

NOTE 3.           Share and Per Share Information

                  All references in the accompanying financial statements to the

ITEM 2

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operation

I.       Results of Operations

         Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 compared to September 30, 1995

         Revenues

                  Total net revenues for the third quarter of 1996 increased by
19.1%, or $8.8 million, to $54.9 million compared to $46.1 million for the third
quarter of 1995. Of the increase, 64.3% was a result of revenue growth in the
Division for Persons with Disabilities.

                  Division for Persons with Disabilities. For the third quarter
of 1996, net revenues increased by 14.8%, or $5.7 million, to $44.0 million
compared to $38.3 million during the third quarter of 1995, primarily as a
result of acquisitions and development of new facilities, group homes and
supported living programs. Revenues also increased due to reimbursement for
general cost-of-living increases in staff and other expenses in prior periods.
Average revenue per census day increased to $114.99 in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $109.40 for the same period of 1995, an increase of 5.1%. Facility
occupancy rates for the third quarter of 1996 of 97.4% remained virtually the
same compared to 97.6% for the third quarter of 1995.

                  On July 1, 1996, the Company acquired the MR/DD business of
ADEPT Corporation serving approximately 135 individuals in group homes and
supported living settings in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. In October 1996,
the Company acquired a leased 81-bed ICF/MR facility and a supported living
program serving approximately 24 individuals located in Kansas, a supported
living program located in northern Ohio serving approximately 36 consumers and a
day services program serving approximately 80 consumers in the Dallas - Ft.
Worth, Texas area. These acquisitions are expected to generate a total of
approximately $10.7 million in annualized revenues.

                  The Company is a party to legal proceedings involving state
program administrators and others, that, in the event of unfavorable outcomes,
may affect revenues and period-to-period comparisons. In Indiana, in July 1995,
the Company and other providers were notified of reimbursement rates issued
retroactive to July 1, 1994 which were lower than the Company and certain other
providers projected based on a settlement that had been reached with the State
concerning the rate-setting methodology for large ICF/MR facilities. The Company
and another provider filed a lawsuit and an agreement was reached with the State
under which the implementation of the new rate structure was delayed until March
1, 1996. A preliminary injunction was denied and testimony in the trial on the
merits was concluded in August 1996. There has been no decision in the case. If
the State is ultimately successful on all issues it could result in a reduction
of net revenues to the Company of approximately $1.3 million for the
twenty-seven months ended

                                        7

September 30, 1996. Any reduction would be recorded against the Company's
allowance for contractual adjustments and/or net revenues, as appropriate, in
the period in which the issues are resolved. Based on the outcome of the
preliminary injunction proceedings, the Company is unable to predict whether it
will prevail on the merits of all issues in the litigation but the opinion of
its legal counsel in the case is that there is a significant likelihood that the
Company will ultimately prevail on the merits of the principal issues involved,
in which case the Company believes that the ultimate net effect on the results
of its operations, cash flow or financial position will not be material.

                  In January 1995, the Company filed an action for declaratory
judgment against the landlord of four of the Company's large facilities in
Indiana to enforce a provision in the leases for such facilities to the effect
that the parties would renegotiate the terms of the leases if any change in the
Medicaid program becomes effective or is implemented such that reimbursement is
reduced to the extent that the economic feasibility of the lease is materially
and adversely affected. The parties have agreed to suspend the litigation
pending the outcome of the Indiana rate litigation and the Company is unable at
this time to determine whether it will ultimately prevail in the matter. The
Company subleased three other large facilities in Indiana from the same
landlord. The sublease, which did not include a renegotiation provision, expired
on July 31, 1996, and the parties have entered into a new nine-month lease, on
essentially the same terms and conditions as the previous sublease, which will
expire on April 30, 1997. These three facilities account for approximately $6
million in annual revenues. As a result of these matters, the Company may be
compelled or may elect ultimately to reduce certain of its facility-based
operations in Indiana.

                  In September 1994, after the Company had agreed to acquire a
block of eight group homes in Texas, the State of Texas unexpectedly imposed, as
a condition of the licensure of those homes, certain performance criteria for
all of the Company's operations in the state. These conditions were not fully
met and the State notified the Company that it must dispose of the eight homes
by October 1, 1995. The Company filed a lawsuit contesting this decision and a
temporary injunction hearing was postponed pending settlement negotiations. A
settlement agreement was signed on November 13, 1996 pursuant to which the
matter was resolved to the Company's satisfaction. The Company will continue to
own and operate the eight homes.

                  The Kentucky Department of Medicaid Services ("Kentucky") has
notified the provider of record of a large ICF/MR managed by the Company of
certain adjustments to the facility cost report for the 1991 fiscal year as a
result of the completion of its audit for that year. Kentucky has also audited
the facility for fiscal years 1992 through 1995, but has not yet issued its
audit report with respect to these years. The Company and the provider believe
that Kentucky does not have the legal and factual basis for these modifications
and thus, since receipt of the notification in August 1995, have engaged in
various administrative and other efforts with Kentucky to have the proposed
adjustments withdrawn. To date, the parties have been unable to resolve the
matter. The provider and the Company have recently determined to bring a
declaratory judgment action against Kentucky in which they will seek a judicial
determination concerning the adjustments and have notified the State of their
intentions to institute litigation. The provider and the Company, on the opinion
of their

                                        8


<PAGE>   9



respective counsel for this matter, believe that there is a significant
likelihood that they will ultimately prevail on the merits of their argument
that the improper legal standards have been applied in the adjustments. The
Company believes that, upon application of the appropriate legal standards, the
ultimate net effect of the adjustments on the results of its operations, cash
flow or financial position will not be material. However, if Kentucky ultimately
prevails in the litigation and requires similar adjustments for the subsequent
years (fiscal years 1992 through 1995), up to $3.4 million of the provider's
costs in the aggregate could be disallowed. The Company is unable at this time
to determine the effect on the Company if the State should prevail.

                  In May 1996, legislation was passed in Florida that would
significantly reduce rates effective September 1, 1996 to the operations that
the Company manages in that state. Both individual consumers and a trade
association filed motions in pre-existing lawsuits to stop implementation of the
new rates. A preliminary injunction has been granted in one of the actions which
requires the State to continue full funding of ICF/DD services pending approval
of an alternate plan by the Health Care Finance Administration. In Tennessee,
new regulations were scheduled to take effect October 1, 1996, which would
reduce certain allowable costs to providers which could affect the management
fees of the Company under its management contracts with non-profit providers for
group homes. These regulations have been stayed pending discussions between the
State and the providers and managers which are expected to result in regulations
more favorable to the providers and managers. The Company is unable, at this
time, to determine the extent of the effect any such regulations will have on
revenues and profit contributions.

                  Future revenues, earnings and period-to-period comparisons may
be affected by legislative, administrative or judicial changes in rate-setting
structures, methodologies or interpretations that may be proposed or are
currently under consideration in states where the Company operates. In addition,
some states are considering various managed care plans for persons currently in
Medicaid programs. At this time, the Company cannot determine the impact of such
changes, as well as the effect of block grants or other legislation which
Congress may enact.

                  Division for Youth Services. The Division for Youth Services
formerly the Training Services Division, encompasses the Company's juvenile
treatment programs provided through its Youthtrack, Inc. subsidiary and the
services to at-risk youth provided through its management of federal Job Corps
centers. For the third quarter of 1996, net revenues increased by 40.6%, or $3.1
million, to $10.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 1995
primarily as a result of the contract to operate the Edison Job Corps Center in
Edison, New Jersey effective November 1, 1995 and the contract awarded to
Youthtrack by the state of Colorado to operate an 80-bed juvenile orientation
program for newly committed delinquent males effective July 1, 1996. In
addition, on September 1, 1996, Youthtrack acquired the operating assets of
Community Learning Centers, Inc. which serves approximately 265 juveniles in six
residential treatment centers, four medium secure detention centers, and related
programs in Colorado. Revenues were also affected by normal inflationary
increases. Effective October 1, 1996, the Company was awarded the new $12.8
million contract to continue operating the South Bronx Job Corps Center for two
years with three one-year renewal options. As expected, the Company was not
awarded the new contract for

                                        9


<PAGE>   10



the Job Corps Center in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. The prior contract
terminated July 31, 1996.

         Facility and Program Expenses

                  Facility and program expenses in the third quarter of 1996
increased 17.3%, or $7.0 million, compared to the third quarter of 1995. Payroll
and payroll-related expenses represented $5.5 million, or 78.6%, of the
increase. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the additional
facilities and programs in the Division for Persons with Disabilities and the
Division for Youth Services. Facility and program expenses in the third quarter
of 1996 decreased as a percentage of total net revenues to 86.7% from 88.0% for
the same period of 1995.

                  Divisions for Persons with Disabilities. Facility and program
expenses in the third quarter of 1996 increased 12.8%, or $4.3 million, to $38.0
million compared to $33.7 million during the third quarter of 1995. Payroll and
payroll-related expenses represented 90.4% of the increase due primarily to the
additional personnel, as well as other costs, associated with the additional
facilities and programs that were operational in the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to 1995. As a percentage of net revenues for the Division for Persons
with Disabilities, facility and program expenses in the third quarter 1996
decreased to 86.4% from 88.0% for the same period of 1995.

                  Division for Youth Services. Facility expenses in the third
quarter of 1996 increased 39.61%, or $2.7 million, to $9.6 million compared to
$6.9 million during the third quarter of 1995. The increase in facility expenses
was primarily related to the new Edison Job Corps Center, and the Youthtrack
Colorado contract and acquisition. As a percentage of net revenues for the
Division for Youth Services, facility expenses decreased to 87.6% in the third
quarter of 1996 from 88.2% for the third quarter of 1995, due primarily to new
subcontracts at the Gateway Job Corps Center in New York and to the new
Youthtrack operations.

         Operating and Other Expenses (Income)

                  Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 40.9%
in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995. This
represents 4.3% of total net revenues compared to 3.6% for the respective prior
period. Payroll and payroll-related expenses represented 24% of the increase due
primarily to annual merit increase and to establishing a regional structure to
accommodate future growth. Professional services relating to the Miami Job Corps
contract, legal fees and costs related to the new office building also
contributed to the increase.

                  Depreciation and amortization increased by $282,000 in the
third quarter of 1996 primarily due to purchases of facilities and equipment
during the past twelve months.

                  Net interest expense in the third quarter of 1996 increased
$346,000 to $249,000 compared to the third quarter of 1995. The increase 
resulted primarily from increased utilization of the credit facility for 
acquisitions and development.

II.      Results of Operation

         Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to September 30, 1995

         Revenues

                  Total net revenues for the first nine months of 1996 increased
by 30.6%, or $37.5 million, to $160.3 million compared to the first nine months
of 1995. Of the increase, 77.0% was a result of revenue growth in the Division
for Persons with Disabilities.

                  Divisions for Persons with Disabilities. For the first nine
months of 1996, net revenues increased by 28.9%, or $28.9 million, to $128.9
million compared to $100.0 million during the first nine months of 1995.
Increased revenues resulted primarily from the acquisitions and development of
new facilities, group homes and supported living programs and reimbursement for
general cost-of-living increases in staff and other facility and program
expenses. Average revenue per census day increased to $113.97 in the first nine
months of 1996 compared to $109.71 in the first nine months of 1995, an increase
of 3.9%, due primarily to the recognition of a retroactive provider tax
adjustment in Indiana and to rate increases in Louisiana and California.
Facility occupancy rates for the first nine months of 1996 were 96.4% compared
to 95.7% for the first nine months of 1995.

                  Division for Youth Services. Revenues for the first nine
months of 1996 increased by 37.8%, or $8.6 million, to $31.4 million compared to
$22.8 million during the first nine months of 1995. This increase was primarily
a result of the Edison Job Corps Center, related cost-funding revenues which are
a direct pass through of funds for reimbursement of capital expenditures made on
behalf of the Department of Labor and the Youthtrack contract and acquisition.
An inflationary increase in reimbursable operating and administrative expenses
also contributed to the increase.

         Facility and Program Expenses

                  Facility and program expenses in the first nine months of 1996
increased 29.5%, or $32.0 million, compared to the first nine months of 1995. Of
this increase, $21.9 million, or 68.5%, was due to payroll and payroll related
expenses. These expenses reflected additional personnel, as well as other costs
associated with the new facilities and programs in the Division for Persons with
Disabilities, the Edison Job Corps Center and the new Youthtrack programs.
Facility and program expenses in the first nine months of 1996 decreased as a
percentage of total revenues to 87.6% from 88.4% for the same period of 1995.

                  Division for Persons with Disabilities. Facility and program
expenses in the first nine months of 1996 increased 27.1%, or $24.0 million, to
$112.5 million compared to $88.5 million during the first nine months of 1995.
Payroll and payroll-related expenses represented 73.8% of the increase due
primarily to the new facilities and programs that became fully operational in
the first nine months of 1996. As a percentage of net revenues for the Division
for Persons with Disabilities,

                                       11


<PAGE>   12



facility and program expenses in the first nine months of 1996 decreased to
87.3% from 88.5% for the same period of 1995. This decrease is primarily due to
improved operations in California and the Texas group homes and the increase in
occupancy levels.

                  Division for Youth Services. Facility expenses in the first
nine months of 1996 increased 39.5%, or $7.9 million, to $27.9 million compared
to $20.0 million during the first nine months of 1995. As a percentage of net
revenues for the Division for Youth Services, facility expenses increased to
88.8% in the first nine months of 1996 from 87.6% for the first nine months of
1995, due primarily to costs associated with the newly formed Youthtrack
corporation and related cost-funding expenses which are a direct pass through of
capital expenditures purchases for the Department of Labor.

         Operating and Other Expenses (Income)

                  Corporate general and administrative expenses in the first
nine months of 1996 increased 35.5%, or $1.8 million, over the respective prior
period. This represents 4.2% of total net revenue compared to 4.1% for the same
period of 1995. Payroll and payroll-related expenses represented 38.0% of the
increase due primarily to the addition of support staff for new facilities and
programs and to establishing a regional structure to accommodate future growth.
Professional services relating to the Miami Job Corps contract, legal fees and
costs related to the new office building also contributed to the increase.

                  Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million in the
first nine months of 1996 due primarily to purchases of facilities and
equipment.

                  Net interest expense in the first nine months of 1996
increased $929,000 to $536,000, compared with $393,000 net interest income in
the first nine months of 1995. The increase resulted primarily from the
increased utilization of the credit facility for newly acquired facilities and
programs.

III.     Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  For the first nine months of 1996, net cash provided by
operating activities was $4.3 million compared to $2.0 million for the first
nine months of 1995, an increase of $2.3 million. In the 1996 period, net cash
from operating activities was generated primarily by net income and depreciation
and amortization offset by an increase in accounts receivable related to the
growth in the Company's business.

                  During the first nine months of 1996, net cash used in
investing activities was $13.3 million compared to $11.7 million for the first
nine months of 1995, an increase of $1.6 million. In the 1996 period, net cash
used in investing activities was applied almost entirely to the purchase of
property and equipment and acquisitions of businesses or programs.

                                       12


<PAGE>   13



                  For the first nine months of 1996, net cash provided by
financing activities was $8.6 million compared to $8.1 million for the same
period of 1995. In 1996, cash of $1.7 million was generated by the exercise of
employee stock options and related income tax benefits. This enabled the Company
to reduce the amount of additional long-term debt incurred to $6.9 million from
$8.0 million in the 1995 period.

                  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $14.8 million
available on its line-of-credit and $6.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Outstanding at that date were irrevocable standby letters of credit in the
principal amount of $5.9 million issued primarily in connection with workers'
compensation insurance and certain facility leases. The Company is currently in
negotiations with its banks to effect an increase in its line-of-credit. This is
expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 1996.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

          The Company is frequently involved in litigation or administrative
proceedings with the State regulatory authorities, principally Medicaid
authorities, concerning the operations of its ICF/MR (and other) facilities.
Such litigation often concerns the rates that the Company receives for operating
these facilities and the allowance or disallowance of operating costs incurred
by the Company. Among other matters, the Company is currently involved in
litigation with the State of Indiana, is about to commence litigation against 
the Commonwealth of Kentucky and has settled litigation with the State of
Texas. These proceedings are discussed in the Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this 
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

          The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings that arise
in the normal course of business. The Company believes that many of such
lawsuits are without merit. Further, such claims are generally covered by
insurance. The Company does not believe the results of such litigation will have
a material adverse effect on its financial position.

Item 2.     Changes in Securities

            None.

Item 3.     Defaults Upon Senior Securities

            Not applicable.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

            None.

Item 5.     Other Information

            The Company has announced that its chief financial officer will be
leaving the Company effective November 15, 1996, to assume a similar position
with a private company in Louisville, Kentucky. The Company is conducting a
search for a replacement and in the interim the Company's director of accounting
services has assumed the responsibilities of the position.

            In response to the "safe harbor" provisions contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is including in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the following cautionary statements that are
intended to identify certain important factors that could cause the Company's
actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements concerning the Company made by or on behalf of the Company, whether
contained herein or

                                       14


<PAGE>   15



elsewhere.

            The Company's growth in revenues and earnings per share has been
directly related to a considerable increase in the number of individuals served
in its Division for Persons with Disabilities and its Division for Youth
Services. This growth is largely dependent upon development-driven activities,
including the acquisitions of other businesses or facilities or of management
contract rights to operate facilities, the award of contracts to open new
facilities or start new operations or to assume management of facilities
previously operated by governmental agencies or non-profit organizations, and
the extension or renewal of contracts previously awarded to the Company. The
Company often makes forward-looking statements regarding its development
activities.

            Changes in the Company's future revenues depend significantly upon
the success of these development activities, and in particular on the Company's
ability to obtain additional contracts to provide services to the consumer bases
it serves, whether through acquisitions, awards in response to requests for
proposals for new facilities or programs or for facilities being privatized by
governmental agencies, or other development activities. Future revenues also
depend on the Company's ability to maintain and renew its existing services
contracts and its existing leases. The Company actively seeks acquisitions of
other companies, facilities and other assets as a means of increasing the number
of consumers served, and changes in the market for such acquisition prospects,
including increasing competition for and increasing pricing of such acquisition
prospects could also adversely affect the timing and/or viability of future
development activities.

            Revenues of the Company's Divisions for Persons with Disabilities
are highly dependent on reimbursement under federal and state Medicaid programs.
Generally, each state has its own Medicaid reimbursement regulations and
formula. The Company's revenues and operating profitability are dependent upon
the Company's ability to maintain its existing reimbursement levels and to
obtain periodic increases in reimbursement rates. Changes in the manner in which
Medicaid reimbursement rates are established in one or more of the states in
which the Company conducts its operations, such as those recently encountered by
the Company, could adversely affect revenues and profitability. Other changes in
the manner in which federal and state reimbursement programs are operated, and
in the manner in which billings/costs are reviewed and audited, could also
affect revenues and operating profitability.

            The Company's cost structure and ultimate operating profitability
are significantly dependent on its labor costs and the availability and
utilization of its labor force and thus may be affected by a variety of factors,
including local competitive forces, changes in minimum wages or other direct
personnel costs, the Company's effectiveness in managing its direct care staff,
and changes in consumer services models in the MR/DD and Division for Youth
Services field (e.g., trends toward supported living and managed care).

            Additionally, the Company's continued expansion of its Divisions for
Persons with Disabilities and for Youth Services, and its ability to expand into
providing services to other populations requiring the Company's specialized
services, are dependent upon continuation of trends

                                       15


<PAGE>   16



toward downsizing, privatization and consolidation, the Company's ability to
tailor its services to meet the specific needs of these different populations,
and its success in operating in a changing environment of managed care and block
grants. The continuation of such trends and the nature of its operating
environment are subject to a variety of political, economic, social, and legal
pressures, including desires of governmental agencies to reduce costs and
increase levels of services, federal, state and local budgetary constraints, and
changes in response to pressures brought by advocacy groups and the courts to
improve service. Material changes resulting from these trends and pressures
could adversely affect the demand for and reimbursement of the Company's
services and its operating flexibility and ultimately its revenues and
profitability.
