[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 , the Company has a pretax loss
of $809,000 as compared to a pretax income of $1,061,000 for the same
period ending in 1994. This is primarily due to the Company having a
decrease in net service revenues. While net service revenues decreased 18%
or $2,307,000, service cost and expenses decreased by only 7% or $954,000.
The Company's direct service costs as a percentage of service revenues for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are comparable. However, the
Company's 1995 indirect service costs remained approximately the same as
1994. Therefore, indirect service cost as a percentage of service revenues
increased 4% from 1994 to 1995.
In addition, the Company had an increase in selling, general & administrative
expenses of $298,000 of which $270,000 was associated with the opening of a
regional office in the Gulf Coast and an accrued insurance premium adjustment
of $300,000. These additional costs in conjunction with the shortfall in
revenues significantly contributed to the pretax loss of $809,000.
