Note 1. - Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed
consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings and cash flows
contained in this Form 10-Q, which are unaudited, include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and activity have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
statements have been included. Adjustments consisted only of normal recurring
items. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June
30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Reference is made to the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and the related notes as of December 31, 1998
and 1997 and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for the ten
months ended December 31, 1996, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provide additional
disclosures and a further description of accounting policies.

consideration consisting of cash and stock. On August 17, 1998, the Company
acquired StarMed Staffing, Inc. ("StarMed"), a provider of nurse staffing, and
certain related entities for cash from Medical Resources, Inc. On September 9,
1998, the Company acquired Therapeutic Systems, Ltd. ("Therapeutic Systems"), a

Additional consideration of up to $4,950,000 may be paid to the former
stockholders of RCSA, contingent upon the retention of clients, and Therapeutic
Systems, contingent upon the attainment of certain financial goals over the next

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
Operating revenues during the second quarter 1999 increased by
$30,708,000, or 71.5%, to $73,675,000 as compared to the second quarter of 1998.
Acquisitions accounted for 93.5% of the net increase. Other than the effects of
acquisitions, increases in inpatient, outpatient and nurse travel revenues were
offset by a decline in therapy staffing and contract therapy revenues. Inpatient
unit revenue increased by $1,862,000. A 3.0% increase in the average number of
inpatient units from 127.0 to 130.8 units, and an increase in the average daily
billable census per inpatient unit of 5.8% from 13.9 to 14.7, generated a 9.0%
increase in billable patient days to 174,459 and a 6.8% increase in revenue from
inpatient units. The increase in billable census per unit for inpatient units is
primarily attributable to a 4.2% increase in admissions per unit. The average
billable length of stay was comparable. The increase in billable patient days
was offset by a 2.0% decrease in average per
10 of 16
<PAGE> 11
diem billing rates, reflecting lower per diem billing rates for subacute units
subject to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 ("BBA"). Outpatient revenue increased
96.1% to $7,153,000 reflecting $747,000 from the July 1998 acquisition of RCSA,
$520,000 from the May 1999 acquisition of Salt Lake, and an increase in the
average number of outpatient clinics managed from 21.3 to 37.1 (including 10.0
from RCSA and 2.0 from Salt Lake) and an increase in units of service per
clinic. Contract therapy revenue increased 14.8% to $3,275,000 reflecting
$1,632,000 from the acquisition of Therapeutic Systems in September 1998, offset
by a 45.1% decrease in revenue per unit to $38,850, reflecting lower volumes and
reimbursement rates under the BBA.
Staffing revenue increased 272.6% to $34,058,000, reflecting the
addition of $25,819,000 in per diem nurse staffing revenue achieved through the
August 1998 acquisition of StarMed and an increase in existing travel nursing
staffing revenue of $6,859,000, offset by an approximate $7,738,000 decrease in
therapy staffing revenues. Demand for therapists in the long-term care setting
has declined significantly as a result of the implementation of a prospective
payment system ("PPS")for skilled nursing facilities and units.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased
by $23,778,000, or 81.5%, to $52,969,000 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 1998. Acquisitions accounted for 91.3% of the net increase. A
$2,268,000 increase in operating expenses attributable to the increase in
patient days and units of services was offset by an $850,000 decrease in therapy
staffing and contract therapy costs.
The aggregate excess of operating expenses over operating revenues
associated with non-exempt units decreased from $172,000 to $83,000, on an
increase in the average number of non-exempt units from 3.3 to 4.0. The per unit
average excess of operating expenses over operating revenues decreased from
$52,000 to $21,000 reflecting an increase in the average billable census per
unit from 3.4 to 6.1. The average excess of operating expenses over operating
revenues for units during their non-exempt year can range to as high as $150,000
to $200,000.
General and administrative expenses increased $4,809,000, or 63.8%, to
$12,342,000, reflecting increases in corporate office expenses as well as
marketing, business development, operations and professional services in support
of the increase in units, plus the addition of general and administrative
expenses of companies acquired.
Depreciation and amortization increased $362,000 reflecting an increase
in goodwill from acquisitions.
Interest expense increased $338,000 reflecting interest on additional
debt funding the 1998 acquisitions.
Earnings before income taxes increased by $1,380,000, or 28.7%, to
$6,188,000. The provision for income taxes for 1999 was $2,463,000 compared to
$1,925,000 in 1998, reflecting effective income tax rates of 39.8% and 40.0%,
respectively. Net earnings increased by $842,000, or 29.2%, to $3,725,000.
Diluted earnings per share increased 24.4% to $.51 from $.41 on a 2.2% increase
in the weighted-average shares and assumed conversions outstanding. The increase
in shares outstanding is attributable primarily to stock option exercises and
shares issued in acquisitions, offset by a decrease in the dilutive effect of
stock options resulting from a decrease in the average market price of the
Company's stock relative to the underlying exercise prices of outstanding
options.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
Operating revenues during the first six months of 1999 increased by
$56,329,000, or 65.1%, to $142,860,000 as compared to the first six months of
1998. Acquisitions accounted for substantially all of the net increase as
increases in inpatient, outpatient and nurse travel revenues were offset by a
decline in therapy staffing revenue. Inpatient unit revenue increased by
$4,087,000. A 6.8% increase in the average number of inpatient units from 122.8
to 131.1 units, and an increase in the average daily billable census per
inpatient unit of 4.3% from 14.1 to 14.7, generated an 11.4% increase in
billable patient days to 349,042 and a 7.6% increase in revenue from inpatient
units. The increase in billable census per unit for inpatient units is primarily
attributable to a 4.5% increase in admissions per unit. The average billable
length of stay was comparable. The increase in billable patient days was offset
by a 3.4% decrease in average per diem billing rates, reflecting lower per diem
billing rates for subacute units subject to the BBA. Outpatient revenue
increased 113.3% to $13,509,000 reflecting $1,733,000 from the July 1998
acquisition of RCSA, $520,000 from the May 1999 acquisition of Salt Lake, and an
increase in the average number of outpatient clinics managed from 19.9 to 36.4
(including 8.8 from RCSA and 2.0 from Salt Lake) and an increase in units of
service per clinic. Contract therapy revenue increased 9.0% to $6,053,000
reflecting $3,161,000 from the acquisition of Therapeutic Systems in September
1998, offset by a 43.8% decrease in revenue per unit to $75,761, reflecting
lower volumes and reimbursement rates under the BBA.
Staffing revenue increased 216.8% to $65,121,000, reflecting the
addition of $49,224,000 in per diem nurse staffing revenue achieved through the
August 1998 acquisition of StarMed and an increase in existing travel nursing
staffing revenue of $12,279,000, offset by an approximate $16,934,000 decrease
in therapy staffing revenues. Demand for therapists in the long-term care
setting has declined significantly as a result of the implementation of a PPS
for skilled nursing facilities and units.
Operating expenses for the first six months of 1999 increased by
$43,521,000, or 73.9%, to $102,447,000 as compared to the first six months of
1998. Acquisitions accounted for 94.8% of the net increase. A $5,659,000
increase in operating expenses attributable to the increase in patient days and
units of services was offset by a $4,140,000 decrease in therapy staffing and
contract therapy costs.
The aggregate excess of operating expenses over operating revenues
associated with non-exempt units decreased from $304,000 to $183,000, on an
increase in the average number of non-exempt units from 3.2 to 4.0. The per unit
average excess of operating expenses over operating revenues decreased from
$96,000 to $46,000 reflecting an increase in the average billable census per
unit from 3.1 to 5.8. The average excess of operating expenses over operating
revenues for units during their non-exempt year can range to as high as $150,000
to $200,000.
General and administrative expenses increased $9,022,000, or 59.6%, to
$24,153,000, reflecting increases in corporate office expenses as well as
marketing, business development, operations and professional services in support
of the increase in units, plus the addition of general and administrative
expenses of companies acquired.
Depreciation and amortization increased $678,000 reflecting an increase
in goodwill from acquisitions.

<PAGE> 13
Interest expense increased $710,000 reflecting interest on additional
debt funding the acquisitions.
Earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle increased by $2,324,000, or 24.3%, to $11,874,000. The
provision for income taxes for 1999 was $4,719,000 compared to $3,875,000 in
1998, reflecting effective income tax rates of 39.7% and 40.6%, respectively.
Earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle increased by
$1,480,000, or 26.1%, to $7,155,000. The cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle of $776,000 represents the after-tax charge related to the
adoption, effective January 1, 1998, of Statement of Position No. 98-5 Reporting
on the Costs of Start-up Activities. Net earnings increased by $2,256,000, or
46.1%, to $7,155,000. Diluted earnings per share increased 41.4% to $.99 from
$.70 on a 2.3% increase in the weighted-average shares and assumed conversions
outstanding. The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle reduced
earnings per share by $.11 in 1998 with no comparable reduction in 1999.
Excluding the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, diluted
earnings per share increased 22.2% from $.81 in 1998 to $.99 in 1999. The
increase in shares outstanding is attributable primarily to stock option
exercises and shares issued in acquisitions, offset by a decrease in the
dilutive effect of stock options resulting from a decrease in the average market
price of the Company's stock relative to the underlying exercise prices of
outstanding options.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1999, the Company had $4,473,000 in cash and current
marketable securities and a current ratio of 1.4:1. Working capital decreased by
$2,527,000 as of June 30, 1999, compared to December 31, 1998, primarily
reflecting the cash paid in the acquisition of Salt Lake.
Net accounts receivable were $50,428,000 at June 30, 1999, compared to
$46,349,000 at December 31, 1998. The number of days average net revenue in net
receivables was 62.3 at June 30, 1999 compared to 63.8 at December 31, 1998.
The Company's operating cash flows constitute its primary source of
liquidity and historically have been sufficient to fund its working capital and
capital expansion requirements. The Company expects to meet its future working
capital, capital expenditure, business expansion and debt service requirements
from a combination of internal sources and outside financing. The Company has a
$30,000,000 revolving line of credit with a balance outstanding as of June 30,
1999 of $2,000,000. Additionally, a letter of credit was outstanding in the
amount of $2,000,000, which reduces the amount the Company could borrow under
the revolving line of credit.
Year 2000
The Company is subject to risks associated with "Year 2000" compliance,
a term which refers to the ability of various data processing hardware and
software systems to interpret dates correctly beginning January 1, 2000.
The Company has developed a plan that includes five phases relating to
awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation. The plan
establishes a time table and summarizes each major phase of the project and the
estimated costs to renovate the systems in preparation for year 2000. Status of
the project is regularly reported to the Board of Directors.

<PAGE> 14
The awareness phase included a communication of Year 2000 compliance
issues and the potential ramifications to the Company, education and
identification of key systems. The assessment phase included the inventorying of
systems that may be impacted by Year 2000 issues. Systems were then prioritized
from critical to non critical, based upon the potential adverse effect on the
financial condition of the Company in the event of loss or interruption in the
use of each system.
Most of the Company's systems are purchased from or outsourced to
industry-known vendors. The data systems purchased by the Company and used in
their standard configuration include accounting, word processing and spread
sheets. These systems have been installed and tested for Year 2000 compliance.
The Company's payroll/human resources is outsourced and the Company has been
assured by these vendors that new Year 2000 compliant systems have been
installed. Other systems such as recruiting and clinical systems have been
replaced by or converted to Year 2000 compatible systems. The Company has
closely reviewed the Year 2000 progress as reported by each vendor. Where
possible, the Company is testing its systems in a non-operating environment.
The Company's costs associated with Year 2000 implementation will be
reduced due to its outsourcing arrangements; however, incremental direct costs
have been incurred in updating telephone and accounting systems in the amount of
$100,000, and accelerated capital improvements of $40,000. Although the Company
estimates that additional costs will be minimal, unforeseen circumstances could
develop in implementing the plan that could result in the cost varying
significantly from current estimates.
The final phase of the action plan is the implementation of remediated
and other systems into the operating environment of the Company. The final phase
of the plan has been completed. Concurrent with the development and execution of
the plan is the evolution of a contingency plan that includes procedures to be
followed should a system fail.
The Company is also completing an assessment of Year 2000 risks
relating to its lines of business separate from its dependence on data
processing. The assessment includes corresponding with customers to ascertain
their overall preparedness regarding Year 2000 risks. The plan also provides for
the identification and communication with significant non-data processing
third-party vendors regarding their preparedness for Year 2000 risks. It is not
possible to quantify the overall potential adverse effects to the Company
resulting from these customers' or non-data vendors' failure to adequately
prepare for Year 2000 compliance. The failure of a customer to prepare
adequately for Year 2000 could have a significant adverse effect on such
customer's operations and profitability, which, in turn, could inhibit its
ability to pay for the Company's services in accordance with their terms.
Failure of a non-data vendor to prepare adequately for Year 2000 could have a
significant adverse effect on the vendor's operations, which, in turn, could
inhibit the vendor's ability to deliver purchased goods and services to the
Company in a timely manner. The Company also recognizes the importance of the
Year 2000 compliance by customers, payment sources, and vendors to the Company's
customers and vendors. The Company must necessarily rely upon the compliance
programs of these third parties.
The Company does not anticipate any material disruption in operations
as the result of any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries. While the
Company is making a substantial effort to become Year 2000 compliant, there is
no assurance the failure to adequately address all issues relating to the Year
2000 issue would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition
or results of operations.
