NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
October 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 and six months
ended October 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.

<PAGE> 7
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:

NOTE C - DISCLOSURES ABOUT REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
In accordance with the criteria of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company determined that
it operates in three reportable segments: Outpatient Programs, Case Management
Programs, and Health Information Business. The Company's reportable segments are
strategic business units that offer different services to a variety of inpatient
and outpatient recipients and healthcare industry participants. Activities
classified as "Other" in the following schedule relate primarily to unallocated
home office items, and activity from the Company's chemical dependency and other
programs that were terminated in fiscal year 2000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other public
statements by the Company and Company's officers, the words "may", "will",
"expect", "anticipate", "continue", "forecast", "estimate", "project", "intend",
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements
regarding events and financial trends that may affect the Company's future
operating results and financial position. Forward-looking statements in this
document include discussions regarding (i) expected developments by InfoScriber;
(ii) future sources of revenue; (iii) the future financial impact from the
expansion of the Company's Health Information business; (iv) the anticipated
amount of capital expenditures for the development of the InfoScriber medication
management system; (v) forecasted cash flows for fiscal year 2001; (vi)
potential indemnification obligations and uncollectable accounts; (vii) the
adequacy of contract settlement reserves; and (viii) the sufficiency of the
Company's financial resources. Such statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results and financial
position to differ materially. Please carefully review and consider the various
disclosures advising interested parties of factors that affect the Company,
including those discussed below and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 and the Company's other periodic
reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly the
results of any revision of forward-looking statements to reflect trends or
circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
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 to five outpatient
programs (the "Outpatient Programs"). In addition, we have service contracts
with two case management agencies (the "Case Management Programs"). We refer to
these programs, collectively, 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
<PAGE> 11
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-time, 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. In August 2000,
InfoScriber introduced a limited release of its commercial version of its
InfoScriber medication management system to selected physician sites in its CNS
panel. InfoScriber recently entered into an exclusive co-marketing agreement
with Ziment, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Ziment will combine the
research capabilities of its online physicians' panel, WebSurvey MD.com, with
InfoScriber's point-of-prescribing database to provide companies with key
research insights about the marketplace. 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.

<PAGE> 12
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 continue to decrease during the remainder of 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 October 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 OCTOBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED
OCTOBER 31, 1999
Revenue - Revenues from continuing operations decreased from $12.5
million for the quarter ended October 31, 1999 to $4.3 million for the quarter
ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $8.2 million, or (65.6%). The Outpatient
Programs recorded revenues of $0.7 million for the quarter ended October 31,
2000, a decrease of $7.7 million or (91.7%) as compared to $8.4 million for the
quarter ended October 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of the
Company's changed business strategy and the associated reduction in the
Company's Outpatient Programs. The Company's contracts have either expired or
terminated with respect to approximately thirty Outpatient
10
<PAGE> 13
Program locations since October 31, 1999, one of which occurred in the quarter
ended October 31, 2000. Revenues from the Company's Case Management Programs
remained unchanged at $3.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2001 as
compared to the same period in the prior year.
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 $3.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year
2001, compared to $9.5 million a year ago, a decrease of 59.0%. As a percentage
of revenues, direct operating expenses were 90.4% for the quarter ended October
31, 2000, as compared to 76.3% for the quarter ended October 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.
Research and Development - The Company incurred, in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2001, $222,000 in research and development costs related to the
development of Version 2 of its InfoScriber medication management system.
Additional research and development costs are anticipated to be incurred by the
Company in the future until technical feasibility is attained for Version 2 of
the software, which is expected shortly after April 2001.
Marketing, General and Administrative - Marketing, general and
administrative expenses from continuing operations were $1.9 million for the
quarter ended October 31, 2000 versus $2.1 million for the quarter ended October
31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, marketing, general and
administrative expenses were 44.8% for the quarter ended October 31, 2000, as
compared to 16.5% for the quarter ended October 31, 1999. The increase in
marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was
due primarily to the reduction in revenues from terminated or expired contracts
pertaining to thirty Outpatient Program locations between October 31, 1999 and
October 31, 2000, as well as costs related to expanding and administering the
Health Information business.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts - Expenses from continuing operations
related to the provision for doubtful accounts decreased from $735,000 for the
quarter ended October 31, 1999 to $172,000 for the quarter ended October 31,
2000, a decrease of $563,000 or (76.6%). The decrease was due to fewer
Outpatient Programs in the current year. As a percentage of revenues, the
provision for doubtful accounts was 4.0% for the quarter ended October 31, 2000,
as compared to 5.9% for the quarter ended October 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 $265,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 1999 to $222,000 for
the quarter ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $43,000 or (16.2%). The
decrease was due primarily to disposal and write-off of assets as a result of
program closures.

Software Development Amortization - The Company commenced amortization
of its capitalized costs for Version 1 of the InfoScriber medication management
system on September 1, 2000. The software was commercially released in August
2000. Research and development efforts for Version 2 are underway. The Company
anticipates Version 2 will reach technical feasibility and replace Version 1
shortly after April 30, 2001. Accordingly, the Company is amortizing the $2.8
million of capitalized costs through April 2001. The amortization expense for
the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was for 2 months or $690,000.
Special Charge (Credit) - During the quarter ended October 31, 2000, the
Company recorded special charges totaling $70,000. These charges were related to
the write-off of equipment and leasehold improvements from terminated or expired
contracts for outpatient program sites. For the same period in the preceding
year, the Company incurred a charge of $16,000 for lease termination costs and a
credit of $150,000 associated with the receipt of funds due to a restructured
agreement with a case management agency.
Net Interest Income - Interest income, net of interest expense,
decreased from $375,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 1999 to $351,000 for
the quarter ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $24,000 or (6.4%). The
decrease was primarily due to lower cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments at October 31, 2000 versus October 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.
(Loss) Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes - The
Company recognized a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $2.5
million during the quarter ended October 31, 2000 versus income of $411,000 for
the same period in the preceding year, a $2.9 million decrease. The decrease was
primarily due to the termination or expiration of contracts for thirty
Outpatient Program site locations since October 31, 1999, marketing and
administrative expenses related to the Health Information business, and $690,000
in amortization expense for the InfoScriber medication management system.
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 October 31, 1999. The net loss from discontinued operations was $407,000
for the quarter ended October 31, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS
ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999
Revenue - Revenues from continuing operations decreased from $25.3
million for the six months ended October 31, 1999 to $9.4 million for the six
months ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $15.9 million or (62.8%). The
Outpatient Programs recorded revenues of $2.2
12
<PAGE> 15
million for the six months ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $15.5 million
or (87.5%) as compared to $17.7 million for the six months ended October 31,
1999. This decrease was primarily the result of the Company's changed business
strategy and the associated reduction in the Company's Outpatient Programs.
Revenues from the Company's Case Management Programs increased to $7.2 million
for the six months ended October 31, 2000 from $6.7 million for the same period
a year ago, an increase of $0.5 million or 7.5%. The increase was due to an
increase in consumers from October 31, 1999.
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 $8.3 million in the first six months of fiscal year
2001, compared to $19.5 million a year ago, a decrease of 57.4%. As a percentage
of revenues, direct operating expenses were 87.7% for the six months ended
October 31, 2000, as compared to 77.1% for the six months ended October 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.
Research and Development - The Company incurred, in the first half of
fiscal year 2001, $284,000 in research and development costs related to the
development of Version 2 of its InfoScriber medication management system.
Additional research and development costs are anticipated to be incurred by the
Company in the future until technical feasibility is attained for Version 2 of
the software, which is expected shortly after April 2001.
Marketing, General and Administrative - Marketing, general and
administrative expenses from continuing operations were $4.0 million for the six
months ended October 31, 2000 versus $4.7 million for the six months ended
October 31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, marketing, general and
administrative expenses were 42.1% for the six months ended October 31, 2000, as
compared to 18.6% for the six months ended October 31, 1999. The increase in
marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was
due primarily to the reduction in revenues from termination or expiration of
contracts for thirty Outpatient Program locations between October 31, 1999 and
October 31, 2000, as well as costs related to expanding and administering the
Health Information business.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts - Expenses from continuing operations
related to the provision for doubtful accounts decreased from $1.4 million for
the six months ended October 31, 1999 to $386,000 for the six months ended
October 31, 2000, a decrease of $1.0 million or (71.4%). The decrease was due to
fewer Outpatient Programs in the current year. As a percentage of revenues, the
provision for doubtful accounts was 4.1% for the six months ended October 31,
2000, as compared to 5.7% for the six months ended October 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 $523,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1999 to $462,000
for the six months ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $61,000 or (11.7%). The
decrease was due primarily to disposal and write-off of assets as a result of
program closures.
Software Development Amortization - The Company commenced amortization
of its capitalized costs for Version 1 of the InfoScriber medication management
system on September 1, 2000. The software was commercially released in August
2000. Research and development efforts for Version 2 are underway. The Company
anticipates Version 2 will reach technical feasibility and replace Version 1
shortly after April 30, 2001. Accordingly, the Company is amortizing the $2.8
million of capitalized costs through April 2001. The amortization expense for
the six months ended October 31, 2000 was for 2 months or $690,000.
Special Charge - Special charges related to terminated or expired
contracts with respect to Outpatient Programs and restructuring costs decreased
from $683,000 in the six months ended October 31, 1999 to $211,000 during the
same period 2000, a decrease of $472,000 or (69.1%). The decrease in special
charges resulted primarily from the number of site closures in the respective
periods.
Net Interest Income - Interest income, net of interest expense,
decreased from $750,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1999 to $679,000
for the six months ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $71,000 or (9.5%). The
decrease was primarily due to lower cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments at October 31, 2000 versus October 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.
Loss from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes - The Company
recognized a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $4.2 million
during the six months ended October 31, 2000 versus a loss of $796,000 for the
same period in the preceding year, a $3.4 million increase. The increase in loss
was primarily due to the termination or expiration of contracts with respect to
thirty Outpatient Program site locations since October 31, 1999, marketing and
administrative expenses related to the Health Information business, and $690,000
in amortization expense for the InfoScriber medication management system.
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 six
months ended October 31, 1999. The net loss from discontinued operations was
$685,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended October 31, 2000, net cash provided by
operating activities was $597,000 versus $2.8 million during the same period in
the prior year, which included receipt of a tax refund of $2.2 million from the
IRS. Excluding this tax refund in fiscal year 1999, therefore, net cash provided
by operating activities was unchanged between the six months ended October 31,
2000 and October 31, 1999.
Working capital as of October 31, 2000 was $26.4 million, a decrease of
$3.5 million, as compared to working capital at April 30, 2000. Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments totaled $27.2 million as of October 31,
2000, a decrease of $567,000 or (2.0%) 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 the expansion of InfoScriber and, as a result, the
Company has forecasted a net cash outflow in excess of $6.0 million for the
fiscal year. 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 October 31, 2000, the Company had capitalized $2.8 million of
development costs related to Version 1 of the InfoScriber medication management
system, including $1.2 million capitalized during the six months ended October
31, 2000. The Company currently anticipates additional software development
expenditures in fiscal year 2001 of approximately $1.0 million, including costs
associated with the development of Version 2. Amortization of the capitalized
software costs commenced on September 1, 2000.
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 six months ended October 31, 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.
Working capital may also be used, from time to time, to pay dividends to
the Company's shareholders. After evaluating its cash needs, the Company
announced in December 2000 that it will issue a special dividend of $1.00 per
share payable on December 29, 2000 to shareholders of record as of December 21,
2000.
In connection with our outpatient programs, 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 six months of fiscal
2001, a portion 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
15
<PAGE> 18
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 October 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 cash flows and liquidity and, if greater
amounts became due, on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
Previously, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank permitting
borrowings for working capital needs of up to a specified level. The Company did
not pursue renewal of this agreement and it expired on October 31, 2000.
The Company's Health Information business is anticipated to require
significant investments of cash throughout fiscal year 2001 and into fiscal year
2002 during its development. The Company will periodically evaluate the need for
and the attractiveness of financing alternatives that may be available to it
from time to time.
Management believes that the Company has the financial resources needed
to meet the its business requirements throughout fiscal year 2001, including
capital expenditures for the development of InfoScriber and working capital
requirements. The Company will continue to evaluate the allocation of its
financial resources including, but not limited to, the funding of the
InfoScriber subsidiary, stock repurchases, dividend distributions, and funding
of on-going working capital requirements. The Company 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 its results of operations, its financial condition, current
market conditions and other factors beyond its 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 an equipment note payable
and investments in debt securities, including U.S. Treasury securities,
commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The equipment note payable, due in
November 2002, has an effective interest rate of 8.36% and there was
approximately $242,000 outstanding under this note at October 31, 2000.
At October 31, 2000, the fair market value of the investment in debt
securities was approximately $12.8 million, which includes an unrealized holding
loss of approximately $43,000. These securities bear interest rates ranging from
5.13% to 8.5% 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.
