                                  July 31, 1999

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited 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 Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 1999 has been derived from
the audited financial statements at that date but does 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 of the financial position of PMR Corporation ("PMR" or "the
Company") have been included. Operating results for the three months ended July
31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending April 30, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended April 30, 1999.

NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per
Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share by
entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity. The Company has
calculated its earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 for all
periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

OVERVIEW

PMR Corporation ("PMR" or "the Company") is a leading manager of specialized
mental health care programs and disease management services designed to treat
individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness ("SMI"). PMR manages and
administers the delivery of a broad range of outpatient and community-based
psychiatric services for SMI patients, consisting of a total of 41 Outpatient
Programs, two Case Management Programs and four Chemical Dependency Programs.
Stadt Solutions, LLC ("Stadt Solutions"), the Company's majority owned
subsidiary with Stadt Holdings (formerly Stadtlander Drug Distribution Co.,
Inc.) ("Stadtlander"), offers a specialty pharmacy program for individuals with
SMI, which presently serves approximately 7,500 individuals through fifteen
pharmacies in fourteen states. Stadt Solutions received the Company's clinical
research and information business upon formation. PMR, including Stadt
Solutions, operates in approximately twenty-five states and employs or contracts
with more than 400 mental health and pharmaceutical professionals and provides
services to approximately 11,000 individuals diagnosed with SMI.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

Outpatient Programs. Outpatient Programs managed or administered by PMR are the
Company's primary source of revenue. Revenue under these programs is derived
primarily from services provided under three types of agreements: (i)
all-inclusive fee arrangements based on fee-for-service rates (based on units of
service provided) under which the Company is responsible for substantially all
direct program costs; (ii) fee-for-service arrangements under which the provider
maintains responsibility for a large extent of direct program costs; and (iii)
fixed fee arrangements where the Company's fee is a fixed monthly sum and the
provider assumes substantially all program costs. The all-inclusive arrangements
are in effect at 36 of the 41 Outpatient Programs operated during the first
quarter and constituted 67.8% of the Company's psychiatric care revenue for the
three months ended July 31, 1999. These contractual agreements are with
hospitals or

                                       7
<PAGE>   10

Community Mental Health Centers ("CMHCs"), and require the Company to provide,
at its own expense, specific management personnel for each program site.
Patients served by the Outpatient Programs typically are covered by Medicare.

     Revenue under the Outpatient Program is recognized at estimated net
realizable amounts when services are rendered based upon contractual
arrangements with providers. Under certain of the Company's contracts, the
Company is obligated to indemnify the provider for all or some portion of the
Company's fees that may not be deemed reimbursable to the provider by Medicare's
fiscal intermediaries. At July 31, 1999, the Company had recorded $6.7 million
in contract settlement reserves to provide for possible amounts ultimately owed
to its provider customers resulting from disallowance of costs by Medicare and
Medicare cost report settlement adjustments. Such reserves are classified as
non-current liabilities because ultimate determination of substantially all of
the potential contract disallowances is not anticipated to occur during fiscal
2000.

     Case Management Programs. For its Case Management Programs in Tennessee,
the Company receives a monthly case rate fee from the managed care consortiums
responsible for managing the Tennessee TennCare Partners State Medical Managed
Care Program ("TennCare") and is responsible for the administration, provision
or arranging for the provision of psychiatric case management services and
related outpatient clinical care for consumers who are eligible to participate
in the TennCare program. Revenue under the TennCare program is recognized in the
period in which the related service is to be provided. These revenues represent
substantially all of the Company's case management revenues. The urgent care
program receives interim payments, which are adjusted based on inpatient
utilization statistics, which are compared to a baseline. Revenues are
recognized based on the quarterly calculation of the statistical trends.

     Pharmaceuticals. Through Stadt Solutions, the Company offers specialty
pharmaceutical services to individuals with SMI. Stadt Solutions also offers
site management and clinical information services to pharmaceutical companies,
health care providers and public sector purchasers. Stadt Solutions serves
clients through a variety of pharmacies offering anti-psychotic or other
medications for individuals with schizophrenia or other serious mental illnesses
as well as offering blood monitoring services. Stadt Solutions will seek to
offer patients expanded services, including dispensing of all of the
pharmaceuticals needed by these individuals and providing disease management
services to improve compliance and education for the patient, the physician and
family members. Stadt Solutions records pharmaceutical revenue when the product
is sold to customers at pharmacies, net of any estimated contractual allowances.

     Chemical Dependency Programs. In Southern California, the Company contracts
primarily with managed care companies and commercial insurers to provide its
outpatient chemical dependency services. The contracts are structured as
fee-for-service or case rate reimbursement and revenue is recognized in the
period in which the related service is delivered.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED
JULY 31, 1998

     Revenue -- Psychiatric Care. Revenues from psychiatric care decreased from
$14.8 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $ 12.8 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of $ 2.0 million, or 13.5%. The
Outpatient Programs recorded revenues of $9.2 million, a decrease of $3.1
million or 25% as compared to quarter ended July 31, 1998. Same site revenues
decreased by 13.2% or $1.0 million as compared to the quarter ended July 31,
1998. In addition, seven sites were closed during the quarter ended July 31,
1999, which recorded revenues of $1.0 million less in the quarter ended July 31,
1999 as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998. A decrease of revenues of
$575,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1999, related to a revision of estimated
contractual settlement with a certain provider. The Outpatient Programs operated
under an all-inclusive fee arrangement had operating margins of 25.7% in the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 as compared to 37.3% in the quarter ended July 31,
1998. The Company's Case Management Programs recorded revenues of $3.1 million,
an increase of $1.0 million, or 47.6%, from the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The
increase in revenues was due to a corresponding increase in consumers of 48.2%
as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998. Revenue from the Company's
Chemical Dependency and other programs not included as outpatient or case
management was $486,000, an increase of 3.0% from the quarter ended July 31,
1998.

     Revenue -- Pharmaceuticals. Revenues from Pharmaceuticals increased from
$3.0 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $9.6 million for the quarter
ended July 31, 1999, a increase of $6.6 million, or 220.0%. The revenues for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998 included only one month versus three months for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999.

     Direct Operating Expenses -- Psychiatric Care. Direct operating expenses
consist of costs incurred at the program sites and costs associated with the
field management responsible for administering the programs. Direct operating
expenses decreased from $10.1 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to
$10.0 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of $100,000, or
1.0%. As a percentage of psychiatric care revenues, psychiatric care operating
expenses were 78.1%, an increase from 68.2% for the quarter ended July 31, 1998.
The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of psychiatric care revenues
primarily related to the $575,000 reduction in Outpatient Programs revenue from
an adjustment to the contractual settlement during the quarter ended July 31,
1999, and the inclusion of operating expenses for managed care and research
without a corresponding increase in revenue contribution.

     Cost of Sales -- Pharmaceuticals. Cost of sales of pharmaceutical products
increased from $2.3 million for quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $7.2 million for
the quarter ended July 31, 1999, a increase of 213.0%. The costs represent 75.1%
and 75.3% of pharmaceutical revenue for the quarters ended July 31, 1998 and
1999 respectively. The cost of sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1998
included only one month versus three months for the quarter ended July 31, 1999.

     Direct Operating Expenses -- Pharmaceuticals. Direct operating expenses of
pharmaceuticals increased from $410,000 for quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $1.2
million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999, an increase of $790,000 or 192.7%.
The expenses represent 13.5%

                                       9
<PAGE>   12

and 12.3% of pharmaceutical revenue for quarter ended July 31, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Direct operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 1998
included only one month versus three months for the quarter ended July 31, 1999.

     Marketing, General and Administrative. Marketing, general and
administrative expenses increased from $2.6 million for the quarter ended July
31, 1998 to $3.6 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999, an increase of
$1.0 million or 38.5%. The increase was related to investment in the corporate
headquarters to support existing and anticipated programs, including the Stadt
Solutions venture and a coordinated care initiative in Southern California. As a
percentage of total revenues, marketing, general and administrative expenses
were 14.5% for the quarter ended July 31, 1998, as compared to 16.1% for quarter
ended July 31, 1999. The increase in marketing, general and administrative
expenses as a percent of revenue was due to an increase in support costs related
to the coordinated care initiative without a proportionate increase in
coordinated care revenue, partially offset by a significant increase in
pharmaceutical revenues without proportionate increases in administrative
expenses.

     Provision for Bad Debts. Expenses related to the provision for bad debts
increased from $716,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $1.9 million for
the quarter ended July 31, 1999, an increase of $1.2 million, or 165.4%. The
increase was due to reserves against revenue from sales of the new product
segment pharmaceutical products and to a higher provision rate for bad debt
associated with a less than expected collection experience in pharmaceutical
products and certain Outpatient Programs that were subject to a high level of
review from fiscal intermediaries. As a percentage of revenues, the provision
for bad debts was 4.0% of revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 as
compared to 8.4% for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The Company expects this
accrual to fluctuate based on the amount of claims under review in its
Outpatient Programs and the number of programs that the Company manages.

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased from $239,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $280,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999, an increase of $41,000, or 17.2%. The increase was
due to additional capital expenditures associated with new Outpatient Programs
and increased capital expenditures for information systems.

     Special Charge. In the first quarter ended July 31, 1999, the Company
closed seven outpatient psychiatric program locations, incurring a charge of
approximately $521,000. The charge consists of lease termination costs,
operating losses and write-offs of various fixed assets. In addition, the
Company has restructured certain departments company wide involving the
reduction in force of approximately 19 employees. Severance costs of
approximately $296,000 were incurred in connection with the restructuring. At
July 31, 1999, an accrual for special charges of $557,000 was included in
accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

     Net Interest Income. Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased
from $509,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $377,000 for the quarter
ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of $132,000, or 25.9%. This decrease resulted
from lower cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances resulting
from the purchase of Treasury Stock and the use of cash in operations.

     Income (Loss) Before Minority Interest, Income Taxes and Cumulative Change.
Income (loss) before minority interest, income taxes and cumulative change
decreased from $2.1 million for the quarter ended July 31 1998 to a loss of $2.1
million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of $4.2 million.

     Minority Interest. Minority interest decreased from an operating gain of
$239,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to an operating loss of $470,000
for the quarter ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of $709,000. Minority interest
represents the allocation of the operating gains or losses of Stadt Solutions
during the quarter to the minority shareholder as required by the Stadt
Solutions Operating Agreement.

     Cumulative Change. The cumulative change of $593,000 for the quarter ended
July 31, 1998, represents the effect, net of income tax benefit of $411,000, of
writing off previously capitalized start-up costs. The Company adopted this
change in accounting principle in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 consistent
with the requirements of Accounting Standards Executive Committee's Statement of
Position 98-5, Reporting on Costs of Start-up Activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the quarter ended July 31, 1999, net cash used in operating activities
was $2.2 million. Working capital at July 31, 1999 was $49.5 million, a decrease
of $2.7 million, as compared to working capital at April 30, 1999. Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments at July 31, 1999 were $29.5 million, a
decrease of $3.5 million or 10.6% as compared to April 30, 1999.

     The use of cash for operating activities during the quarter ended July 31,
1999 was due to delayed collection of accounts receivable. The Company
experienced growth in accounts receivable due to an increase in days revenue
outstanding from 76 at April 30, 1999 to 90 at July 31, 1999. The increase in
days revenue outstanding was primarily due to focused review of claims by fiscal
intermediaries at several outpatient programs. The other significant use of cash
was leasehold improvements associated with recently opened sites and investment
in information technology.

     Working capital available to finance fiscal 2000 obligations is expected to
be provided principally from operations, as well as from a $10 million line of
credit from Sanwa Bank. Interest is payable under this line of credit at either
the bank's reference rate or the Eurodollar rate plus 2%. As of July 31, 1999,
no balance was outstanding under the line of credit. Working capital is
anticipated to be utilized during fiscal 2000 to continue expansion of the
Company's Outpatient and Case Management Programs, for expansion of Stadt
Solutions' pharmacy services, and for the development of a risk based
coordinated care project. The Company also anticipates using working capital
and, if necessary, incurring indebtedness in connection with, selective
acquisitions.

     In December 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 350,000 shares of its common stock, approximately 5% of the
Company's outstanding common stock. Purchased shares will be used for corporate
purposes including issuance under PMR's

                                       11
<PAGE>   14

stock compensation plans. The purchases will be made from time to time in open
market transactions. As of April 30, 1999, the Company repurchased 90,000 shares
of its common stock at an average price of $5.81 per share, or $523,750, in open
market transactions. In May 1999, the Company repurchased an additional 200,000
shares of its common stock at a price of $3.75 per share, or $750,000, in open
market transactions. These shares are held in treasury. In May 1999, the Board
of Directors authorized an additional 5% of the Company's outstanding common
stock for repurchase.

     The opening of a new Outpatient Program site typically requires $45,000 to
$150,000 for office equipment, supplies, lease deposits, leasehold improvements
and the hiring and training of personnel prior to opening. These programs
generally experience operating losses through an average of the first four
months of operation. The Company expects to provide cash for the start up of the
site management and clinical information business as part of the growth strategy
of Stadt Solutions.

     From time to time, the Company recognizes charges to operations as a result
of particular uncertainties associated with the health care reimbursement rules
as they apply to the Outpatient Programs. During the first quarter of fiscal
1999 and 2000, a majority of the Company's psychiatric care revenue was derived
from the management of its Outpatient Programs. Since substantially all of the
patients of the Outpatient Programs are eligible for Medicare, collection of a
significant component of the Company's management fees is dependent upon
reimbursement of claims submitted to fiscal intermediaries by the hospitals or
CMHCs on whose behalf these programs are managed. Certain of the Company's
contracts with its providers contain warranty obligations that require the
Company to indemnify such providers for the portion of the Company's management
fee disallowed for reimbursement. Although the Company believes that its
potential liability to satisfy such requirements has been adequately reserved in
its financial statements, the obligation to pay such amounts, if and when they
become due, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's short term
liquidity. Certain factors are, in management's view, likely to lessen the
impact of any such effect, including the expectation that, if claims arise, they
will arise on a periodic basis over several years and that any disallowance will
merely be offset against obligations already owed by the provider to the
Company.

     The Company maintains significant reserves to cover the potential impact of
two primary uncertainties: (i) the Company may have an obligation to indemnify
certain providers for some portions of its management fee which may be subject
to disallowance upon audit of a provider's cost report by fiscal intermediaries;
and (ii) the Company may not receive full payment of the management fees owed to
it by a provider during the periodic review of the provider's claims by the
fiscal intermediaries.

     The Company has been advised by Health Care Financing Administration that
certain program-related costs are not allowable for reimbursement. The Company
may be responsible for reimbursement of the amounts previously paid to the
Company that are disallowed pursuant to indemnity obligations that exist with
certain providers. Although the Company believes that its potential liability to
satisfy such requirements has been adequately reserved in its financial
statements, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate. The
obligation to pay the amounts estimated within the Company's financial
statements (or such greater amounts as are

                                       12
<PAGE>   15

due), if and when they become due, could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is subject to reimbursement
rates that are regulated by the federal and state governments and that do not
automatically adjust for inflation. As a result, increased operating costs due
to inflation, such as labor and supply costs, without a corresponding increase
in reimbursement rates, may adversely affect the Company's earnings in the
future.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES

     The year 2000 issue is the result of computer applications being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company's
computer applications (and computer applications used by any of the Company's
customers, vendors, payors or other business partners) may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
system failures or miscalculations causing disruption of operations.

     The Company has completed a thorough review of its material computer
applications and has identified and scheduled necessary corrections for its
computer applications. Corrections are currently being made and are expected to
be substantially implemented by the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company
expects that the total cost associated with these revisions will not be
material. These costs were primarily incurred during fiscal 1999 and charged to
expense as incurred. For externally maintained systems, the Company has begun
working with vendors to ensure that each system is currently year 2000 compliant
or will be made year 2000 compliant during fiscal 2000. The cost to be incurred
by the Company related to externally maintained systems is expected to be
minimal. The Company believes that by completing its planned corrections to its
computer applications, the year 2000 issue with respect to the Company's systems
can be mitigated. However, if such corrections cannot be completed on a timely
basis, the year 2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Because of the many
uncertainties associated with year 2000 compliance issues, and because the
Company's assessment is necessarily based on information from third party
vendors and suppliers, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment
is correct or as to the materiality, worst case scenario or effect of any
failure of such assessment to be correct.

     The Company has initiated a program to determine whether the computer
applications of its significant payors and contract providers will be upgraded
in a timely manner. The Company has not completed this review and it is unknown
whether computer applications of contract providers and Medicare and other
payors will be year 2000 compliant. The Company has not determined the extent to
which any disruption in the billing practices of providers or the payment
practices of Medicare or other payors caused by the year 2000 issues will affect
the Company's operations. However, any such disruption in the billing or
reimbursement process could have a substantial adverse impact on Medicare or
Medicaid payments to providers and, in turn, payments to the Company. Any such
disruption could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's

                                       13

<PAGE>   16

business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not
established a contingency plan in the event of any such disruption or worst case
scenario.

     Stadt Solutions has completed a review and assessment of its applications
and systems and is expected to complete all required remediation. The cost to be
incurred by Stadt Solutions related to such remediation, and the extent of such
remediation, is expected to be minimal. Stadt Solutions believes that by
completing the planned corrections to its applications and systems, the year
2000 issue with respect to its applications and systems can be mitigated.
However, if such corrections cannot be completed on a timely basis, the year
2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on Stadt Solutions' business,
financial condition and results of operations. Because of the many uncertainties
associated with year 2000 compliance issues, including uncertainties or
disruption in the payment practices of Medicaid or other payors, and because
Stadt Solutions' assessment is necessarily based on information from third party
vendors and suppliers and Stadtlander, there can be no assurance that the
Company's assessment is correct or as to the materiality, worst case scenario or
effect of any failure of such assessment to be correct. Stadt Solutions has not
established a contingency plan in the event of any such disruption or worst case
scenario.
