NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                  July 31, 2000

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, 2000 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, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending April 30, 2001. 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, 2000.

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 earnings per share includes no
dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share 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:

No potential common shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share because the issuance thereof would have had an antidilutive effect.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended July 31,
1999.



NOTE E - NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS

       In January 2000, the Company loaned approximately $1.3 million pursuant
to promissory notes to certain employees and officers of the Company for the
purchase of stock through the exercise of stock options (the "Stock Notes"). The
Company also received, in January 2000, promissory notes in the amount of
$451,000 from certain officers for related tax liabilities (the "Tax Notes").
The Stock Notes are with recourse and the Tax Notes are without recourse. The
Stock Notes and the Tax Notes are secured by stock under respective pledge
agreements. As of July 31, 2000, $332,000 is owed under the Stock Notes and
$352,000 under the Tax Notes, both of which are due December 31, 2004 and bear
interest at the rate of 6.21% per annum.

OVERVIEW

       Over the past twelve years, PMR Corporation and its subsidiaries ("PMR,"
the "Company" or "we") has been a leader in the development and management of
specialized mental health care programs and disease management services designed
to treat individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness ("SMI"), primarily
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (i.e., manic-depressive illness). We
currently manage, administer or provide consulting services for a range of
outpatient and community-based psychiatric services for SMI patients, consisting
of five outpatient programs (the "Outpatient Programs") and two case management
programs (the "Case Management Programs"). We also refer to these programs in
this document as "Health Services Programs".

       During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, we began to implement a
changed business strategy. We focused on maximizing cash flow in the Health
Services Programs and reducing the number of Outpatient Programs managed by us,
hence minimizing our exposure to the changing regulatory environment. The
Outpatient Programs are heavily dependent on reimbursement by Medicare and
Medicaid. We significantly reduced our presence in Outpatient Programs. The
reduction in these services was the result of a management decision predicated
on existing and proposed regulatory changes that (i) increased obstacles to the
marketability of our services and (ii) increased the costs of regulatory
compliance.



                                       8

       In addition, in September 1999, we organized InfoScriber(TM) Corporation
("InfoScriber"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, which has a business plan to become
a leading provider of strategic health information for pharmaceutical companies,
medical device companies, managed care organizations and health care providers.
We believe that InfoScriber is developing a unique and valuable information
asset for healthcare industry participants, namely, a "practice-based", real
world, longitudinal database for researching, analyzing and understanding
physician prescribing patterns. This database is driven by a proprietary,
web-based medication management system, which captures critical disease-specific
information at the point of prescribing. In addition to providing a core data
set that we believe is generally unavailable from current sources, the system
also incorporates a proprietary ability to capture information related to the
underlying rationale for medication decisions. InfoScriber is building a panel
of physician users so that the data being captured will be representative of
prescribing patterns and can be used for general analysis and business decision
making. Our first physician panel is in the area of central nervous system
("CNS") disorders, a therapeutic area in which we have developed expertise from
our twelve years of experience as a leading disease management company in the
CNS area. After the establishment of the CNS panel, we intend to establish
additional panels to gather data from other therapeutic areas. Shortly after the
quarter ended July 31, 2000, InfoScriber introduced a limited release of its
commercial version of its InfoScriber medication management system to selected
physician sites in its CNS panel for additional testing. We refer to the
business of InfoScriber in this document as the "Health Information" business.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

       InfoScriber. Although InfoScriber has generated no revenues to date, we
intend to enter into commercial agreements with pharmaceutical companies,
managed care and other health care organizations, researchers and government
agencies relating to the InfoScriber data. We anticipate that these agreements
will generate revenues from a variety of different data services that we expect
to offer to the users, including: annual subscriptions to the database, which
will include suites of reports and analyses on prescribing patterns; annual or
quarterly fees for custom reports and analyses on prescribing patterns that are
beyond the scope of the standard suite of reports; fees for ad hoc custom
reports; fees for customer requested web-based surveys of InfoScriber's
physician panel; revenue from custom studies generated by research firms that
seek to access the system for data collection; and revenue from web-based
surveys generated by research firms that seek to access InfoScriber's physician
panel.

       In addition, we expect to generate user fees from certain participating
providers, including physicians, psychiatric practices and community mental
health organizations. Certain participants have been granted charter membership
in the network whereby any fees for installation and use of the InfoScriber
system are waived for the first year. Thereafter, charter participants may be
required to pay an annual per user fee.

       Should we be unable to enter into sufficient commercial and participation
agreements for our InfoScriber system, it could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operation in the future. See
"--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

       Case Management Programs. For its Case Management Programs in Tennessee,
the Company receives a monthly case rate fee from the managed care consortium
responsible for managing the Tennessee TennCare Partners State Medical Managed
Care Program ("TennCare"). Revenue under the TennCare program is recognized in
the period in which the related service is to be provided and may fluctuate
based on rates set by the managed care consortium as well as the level of
patient enrollment.

       Outpatient Programs. We continue to manage or administer certain
Outpatient Programs primarily under restructured agreements with acute care
hospitals. We do not, however, currently intend to devote resources to develop
additional Outpatient Programs. We expect that revenues from Outpatient Programs
will decrease in fiscal year 2001 due to the termination of additional
contracts. Although we anticipate that the decline in future revenues will at
least be partially offset by revenues generated through our new Health
Information business, there can be no assurance that we will not experience a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations in the future.

       Revenue under an Outpatient Program is recognized at estimated net
realizable amounts when services are rendered based upon contractual
arrangements with providers. Under the terms of some of our terminated or
expired contracts, as well as some of our current contracts, we are required to
indemnify the providers for some or all of our fees if the fees are disallowed
by Medicare or its fiscal intermediaries, or if the claims associated with our
fees for services rendered to patients are denied. In some instances, we are
required to indemnify the hospital for certain of the hospital's direct costs if
the claims associated with our fees for services rendered to patients are
denied. As of July 31, 2000, we had recorded $5.4 million in contract settlement
reserves to provide for an estimate of possible amounts ultimately owed to our
provider customers resulting from disallowance of costs by Medicare and Medicare
cost report settlement adjustments. Such reserves are classified as long-term
liabilities because ultimate determination of substantially all of the potential
contract disallowances is not anticipated to occur during the current fiscal
year.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED
JULY 31, 1999

       Revenue - Revenues from continuing operations decreased from $12.8
million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 to $5.2 million for the quarter
ended July 31, 2000, a decrease of $7.6 million, or (59.6%). The Outpatient
Programs recorded revenues of $1.5 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2000,
a decrease of $7.7 million or (83.4%) as compared to $9.2 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of closing
thirty Outpatient Program locations since July 31, 1999, ten of which occurred
in the quarter ended July 31, 2000. The Company's Case Management Programs
recorded revenues of $3.6 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 18.1%, from
$3.1 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The increase in revenues was
due to an increase in consumers of 24.3% as compared to the quarter ended July
31, 1999.



                                       10
<PAGE>   13

       Direct Operating Expenses - 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 from
continuing operations were $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
2001, compared to $10.0 million a year ago, a decrease of 47.3%. As a percentage
of revenues, direct operating expenses were 101.5% for the quarter ended July
31, 2000, as compared to 77.8% for the quarter ended July 31, 1999.
Deterioration in the overall expense ratio for continuing operations was
primarily due to the decrease in Outpatient Program business, which historically
has had a lower expense ratio than the other business segments, as well as the
expansion of the Health Information business.

       Marketing, General and Administrative - Marketing, general and
administrative expenses from continuing operations were $1.3 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 2000 versus $2.7 million for the quarter ended July 31,
1999. As a percentage of total revenues, marketing, general and administrative
expenses were 25.3% for the quarter ended July 31, 2000, as compared to 20.7%
for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The increase in marketing, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the
reduction in revenues from closing thirty Outpatient Program locations between
July 31, 1999 and July 31, 2000, as well as costs related to expanding and
administering the Health Information business.

       Provision for Bad Debts - Expenses from continuing operations related to
the provision for bad debts decreased from $700,000 for the quarter ended July
31, 1999 to $213,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2000, a decrease of $487,000
or (69.5%). The decrease was due to fewer Outpatient Programs in the current
year. As a percentage of revenues, the provision for bad debts was 4.1% for the
quarter ended July 31, 2000, as compared to 5.5% for the quarter ended July 31,
1999. The Company expects the allowance for doubtful accounts to fluctuate based
on the amount of claims under review in its Outpatient Programs and the number
of programs that the Company manages or administers.

       Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased from $258,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 to $240,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 2000, a decrease of $19,000 or (7.2%). The decrease was
due primarily to disposal and write-off of assets as a result of program
closures.

       Special Charge - During the quarter ended July 31, 2000, the Company
closed ten Outpatient Program locations, which resulted in a charge of $66,000
for severance costs and $74,000 for the write-off of various assets. As of July
31, 2000, the accrual for special charges included in the liabilities section in
the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $221,000.

       Net Interest Income - Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased
from $375,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 to $328,000 for the quarter
ended July 31, 2000, a decrease of $48,000 or (12.8%). The decrease was
primarily due to lower cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at
July 31, 2000 versus July 31, 1999. The reduction in these interest bearing
assets was primarily a result of the $10.6 million cash dividend paid in January
2000, partially offset by cash provided by operations during fiscal year 2000.



                                       11
<PAGE>   14

       Loss from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes - Loss from
continuing operations before income taxes increased from $1.2 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2000,
an increase of $446,000. The increase was due primarily to the closure of thirty
Outpatient Program site locations since July 31, 1999 and marketing and
administrative expenses related to the Health Information business.

       Discontinued Operation - During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, the
Company sold substantially all of its interest in Stadt Solutions LLC ("Stadt
Solutions"), a company formed in 1998 with Stadt Holdings. Net results of
operation for the discontinued operation have been reported as a separate
component of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter
ended July 31, 1999. The net loss from discontinued operations was $279,000 for
the quarter ended July 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       For the three months ended July 31, 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was $31,000 versus $2.2 million in net cash used in operating
activities for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cash
flows from operating activities during the quarter ended July 31, 2000 versus
July 31, 1999 was achieved primarily by the Company's focus on eliminating less
profitable and unprofitable programs, significantly reducing overhead expenses,
and aggressively collecting receivables.

       Working capital as of July 31, 2000 was $28.0 million, a decrease of $2.0
million, as compared to working capital at April 30, 2000. Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments totaled $26.9 million as of July 31,
2000, a decrease of $835,000 or (3.0%) as compared to April 30, 2000. The
decrease in working capital, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term
investments was primarily due to the continued investment in the Health
Information business. Working capital is anticipated to be utilized during
fiscal year 2001 to continue expansion of InfoScriber and, as a result, the
Company has forecasted a net cash outflow in excess of $6.0 million. Actual cash
usage may fluctuate and vary from this projection depending upon the success of
InfoScriber or based on further changes in the Company's Outpatient Programs and
Case Management Programs.

       As of July 31, 2000, the Company had capitalized $2.5 million of software
development costs related to InfoScriber, of which $954,000 was capitalized
during the three months ended July 31, 2000. Amortization of the capitalized
software costs is expected to begin in the quarter ending October 31, 2000. The
Company anticipates continued expenditures for software support and maintenance
in excess of $1.0 million for the remainder of fiscal year 2001.

       The Company also may use working capital and, if necessary, incur
indebtedness in connection with possible selective acquisitions. Additionally,
the Company has continued to repurchase shares of its common stock. These shares
will be used for corporate purposes including issuance under PMR's stock
compensation plans. During the quarter ended July 31,



                                       12
<PAGE>   15

2000, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares of its common stock at an average
price of $2.75 per share, or $27,500 in open market transactions. All shares
repurchased are held in treasury.

       We maintain reserves to cover the potential impact of two significant
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 by
a provider during the periodic review of the provider's claims by the fiscal
intermediaries.

       From time to time, we recognize 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 three months of fiscal
2001, a significant amount of the Company's revenue was derived from the
management of the 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
community mental health centers on whose behalf these programs are managed.
Certain of our contracts with providers contain warranty obligations that
require us to indemnify such providers for the portion of our management fees
disallowed for reimbursement by Medicare's fiscal intermediaries. As of July 31,
2000, we had recorded $5.4 million in contract settlement reserves to provide
for such indemnity obligations. These reserves have been classified as
non-current because the ultimate determination of substantially all of the
potential contract disallowances is not anticipated to occur during fiscal year
2001. Although we believe that our potential liability to satisfy such
requirements has been adequately reserved in the financial statements, there can
be no assurance that the amount of fees disallowed will not be greater than the
amount of such reserves. Also, the obligation to pay such amounts, if and when
they become due, could have a material adverse effect on our short-term
liquidity. Certain factors are, in management's view, likely to lessen the
impact of any such effect, including the expectations that (i) if claims arise,
they will arise on a periodic basis over several years and (ii) any disallowance
may be offset against obligations already owed by the provider to us.

       In addition, we have been advised by the Health Care Financing
Administration that certain program-related costs are not allowable for
reimbursement. Thus, we may be responsible for reimbursement of the amounts
previously paid to us that are disallowed pursuant to obligations that exist
with certain providers. Although we believe that the potential liability to
satisfy such requirements has been adequately reserved in the financial
statements, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate. The
obligation to pay the amounts so reserved, if and when they become due, could
have a material adverse effect upon our cashflows, liquidity, and business and,
if such greater amounts became due, on our financial condition and results of
operations.

       The Company has a credit agreement with a bank that permits borrowings
for working capital needs of up to the lesser of 50% of the aggregate amount of
eligible accounts receivable or $10.0 million. The agreement provides for
interest on borrowings at either the bank's



                                       13
<PAGE>   16

reference rate or the bank's Eurodollar rate plus 2%. The credit agreement,
which originally expired on August 30, 2000, has been extended to October 31,
2000. At July 31, 2000, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit
agreement.

       Management believes that we have the financial resources needed to meet
the Company's business requirements throughout fiscal year 2001, including
capital expenditures for the development of InfoScriber and working capital
requirements. In addition, the Company will evaluate the need for and
attractiveness of financing alternatives for the InfoScriber subsidiary as the
Health Information business is anticipated to be a user of cash throughout
fiscal year 2001 and into fiscal year 2002. We may also, from time to time, use
working capital, issue debt or equity securities, or a combination thereof, to
finance selective acquisitions of assets or businesses or for general corporate
purposes. The Company's ability to effect any such issuance will be dependent on
our results of operations, our then current financial condition, then current
market conditions and other factors beyond our control.


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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS


       The information included in this Item 3 is considered to constitute
"forward-looking statements" for purposes of the statutory safe harbor provided
in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

       The Company's financial instruments include a credit agreement, equipment
note payable and investments in debt securities, including U.S. Treasury
securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The credit agreement
permits borrowings of up to the lesser of 50% of the aggregate amount of our
eligible accounts receivable or $10.0 million for working capital needs.
Interest on borrowings is payable monthly at either the bank's reference rate or
at the bank's Eurodollar rate plus 2 percent. There were no borrowings
outstanding under the credit agreement at July 31, 2000. The credit agreement,
which originally expired on August 30, 2000, has been extended to October 31,
2000. Our equipment note payable, due in November 2002, has an effective
interest rate of 8.36 percent and we had approximately $268,000 outstanding
under this note at July 31, 2000.

       At July 31, 2000, the fair market value of our investment in debt
securities was approximately $17.5 million, which includes an unrealized holding
loss of approximately $110,000. These securities bear interest rates ranging
from 5.13% percent to 9.10% percent and are generally short-term and readily
marketable.

       We do not and have not used derivative financial instruments for any
purpose, including hedging or mitigating interest rate risk, and we believe the
decline in the fair value of our investments in debt securities due to interest
rate sensitivity is temporary in nature. This determination was based on the
marketability of the instruments, our ability to retain our investment in the
instruments, past market movements and reasonably possible, near-term market
movements. Therefore, we do not believe that potential, near-term losses in
future earnings, fair values, or cash flows from changes in interest rates are
likely to be material.

EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY

       We do not currently have financial instruments that are sensitive to
foreign currency exchange rates.
