OVERVIEW
- --------
 
     Transcend Services, Inc. ("Transcend" or the "Company") provides healthcare
information management (''HIM'') solutions to hospitals and other associated
healthcare providers. The Company's range of HIM services includes (i) contract
management, or "Co-Sourcing", of medical records and other HIM functions; (ii)
transcription of physicians' dictated medical notes; and (iii) consulting
relating to medical records and reimbursement coding. The Company currently
operates the medical records and certain other HIM functions of 22 general acute
care hospitals located in 11 states and the District of Columbia. The Company,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary Transcend Case Management, Inc. ("TCM"),
also provided case management and disability management services to insurance
carriers, third party administrators and self-insured employers; however, the
net assets of TCM were sold in March 1998.

     On April 29, 1998 the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
Health Care Information Systems, Inc. ("HCIS") of Beaverton, Oregon. HCIS
provides information management software and related services to approximately
65 hospitals concentrated in the eight western states. HCIS has recently
released a new set of Windows based products, a state of the art set of tools
for the management and reporting of health care information. Transcend plans to
implement these tools in each of its 22 hospitals over the next two years and
will utilize them in its Information Delivery Center ("IDC") operations. The IDC
provides for the offsite medical coding from electronic records over Transcend's
private network.

an increase of 15.2%. Co-Sourcing revenues were the largest single service class
revenue source for the Company in each of these three month periods,
representing 56.3% of total revenues in the 1998 period and 53.2% in the 1997
period. Co-Sourcing revenues increased to $6,965,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $5,717,000 in the comparable 1997 period, an increase of
21.8% as a result of new contracts signed in 1997 and 1998. Medical
transcription revenues, represented 40.3% of the total revenues for the Company
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Medical transcription
revenues increased to $4,981,000 from $4,326,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, an increase of 15.2% resulting from new customers and
volume increases from existing customers. Other revenues represented 0.7% of the

of the Company's net revenues for the three months ending March 31, 1997. Other
revenues decreased $66,000 or 44.6% to $82,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. TCM revenues
decreased to $346,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $554,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 a decrease of 37.5% due to the loss of
several key customer accounts at TCM.

     Excluding TCM, net revenues for the Company increased from $10,191,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $12,028,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, an increase of 18.0%.
 
     Gross profit increased 20.4% to $2,069,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $1,719,000 in the same prior year period. Gross profit margins (as
a percentage of net revenues) expanded to 16.7% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 period. The
increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to margin expansion
in TCM as a result of restructuring the business in December 1997.

     Excluding TCM, gross profits were $1,986,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1998, an increase of 18.9% over the same prior year period in 1997. Gross

     Marketing and sales expenses increased 15.1% to $479,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $416,000 in the same prior period but remained
constant as a percentage of net revenues at 3.9%.

     General and administrative expenses decreased 2.3% to $1,107,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, from the $1,133,000 incurred in the same
prior year period.  Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased as a
percentage of net revenues to 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from 10.5% for the prior year quarter.

     Amortization expenses decreased to $72,000 or .6% of net revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $119,000 or 1.1% of net revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, reflecting the impact of the 1993
acquisition of dataLogix, Inc. being fully amortized and the write down of
intangible assets related to TCM in December 1997.

     The Company's income from operations increased to $411,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $51,000 for the same prior year quarter due to
increased gross profits from revenue growth.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     Interest expense, net increased to $104,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $89,000 for the same prior year period, primarily
due to the impact of interest expense incurred in connection with the Company's
increased borrowings, loan fees, and higher interest rates associated with the
credit facility. Interest expense, net was .8% of net revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

     The Company's income before discontinued operations increased to $307,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from a loss of $38,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Excluding TCM for 1998 and 1997, the Company's
income before discontinued operations was $292,000 in 1998 and $235,000 in 1997,
an improvement of 24.3%.

     The Company's loss from discontinued operations decreased to $15,000 from
$34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997,
respectively, representing legal expenses incurred in connection with the
Lawsuit (hereinafter defined). See Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, continuing operations used
$1,975,000 of cash. Cash has been used to fund the investment in capital assets
and to fund changes in the Company's assets and liabilities. See also Part I,
Item 1. Financial Statements. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

     The Company had net working capital of $5,106,000 at March 31, 1998,
compared to $6,271,000 at December 31, 1997. The decrease in working capital of
$1,165,000 is attributable to the investment in capital assets and the reduction
of a line of credit facility.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's principal use of
cash of $845,000 for investing purposes was for capital expenditures in
association with the implementation of electronic document management systems in
new customer sites.
 
     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, financing activities used cash
of $221,000 due to reductions of the Company's line of credit facility.

     On April 3, 1997, the Company entered into a $5.0 million credit agreement
with Coast Business Credit ("Coast"), an asset based lender (and a division of
Southern Pacific Thrift and Loan Association). The agreement provides the
Company with a $4.7 million working capital facility and a $300,000 capital
expenditure facility secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The
Coast facilities do not contain any financial covenants but contain restrictions
from paying dividends and entering into financing arrangements without consent.
As of March 31, 1998 the capacity of the credit line based on the funding
formula was $5.0 million.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     These facilities are priced at prime plus 2.25% declining to prime plus
1.75% upon two consecutive quarters of achievement and ongoing maintenance of a
debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 measured on an earnings before
interest, taxes, and amortization ("EBITA") basis. EBITA is used by Coast as an
indicator of a company's ability to incur and service debt. EBITA should not be
considered an alternative to operating income, net income, cashflows, or any
other measure of performance as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, as an indicator of operating performance, or as a measure
of liquidity. These facilities are secured by a first security interest on all
Company assets.

     On February 19, 1998, the Company signed a master lease agreement providing
up to $5.0 million in lease financing with Information Leasing Corporation, a
subsidiary of Provident Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio at interest rates equal to
Provident Bank prime rate plus two percent. Subject to a review of the
underlying customer contract, the master lease agreement calls for equal monthly
payments over the term of the lease, typically the life of the underlying
contract, not to exceed five years. The facility is intended to provide
financing for new electronic document management systems and transcription
systems required for new contracts.

     On April 13, 1998 the Company signed a new $10.0 million equipment loan
facility with DVI Financial Services Inc. This facility, provides additional
financing for electronic document management systems and transcription systems
required for new contracts. The master loan agreement calls for monthly payments
which fully amortize the cost of the equipment over the life of the customer
contract, not to exceed 60 months, at a current interest rate of 10.2%.

     The Company anticipates that cash on hand, together with internally
generated funds and cash available under its credit facilities, will be
sufficient to finance continuing operations, make capital investments in the
normal and ordinary course of its business, and fund the out-of-pocket expenses
and certain legal fees of its civil litigation action against certain insurance
carriers for the remainder of fiscal 1998.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is subject to certain claims in the ordinary course of business
which are not material.

     On September 17, 1993, the Company and its former subsidiaries, First
Western Health Corporation and Veritas Healthcare Management, and the physician-
owned medical groups, FWHC Medical Group, Inc. and Veritas Medical Group, Inc.,
which had contracts with the healthcare subsidiaries, initiated a lawsuit in the
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against 22 of
the largest California workers' compensation insurance carriers (the "Lawsuit".)
The Lawsuit was subsequently amended to name 13 defendant insurance groups
including State Compensation Insurance Fund, Continental Casualty Company,
California Compensation Insurance Company, Zenith National Insurance Corporation
and Pacific Rim Assurance Company. The action seeks $115 million in compensatory
damages plus punitive damages. The plaintiffs claim abuse of process,
intentional interference with contractual and prospective business relations,
negligent interference and unlawful or unfair business practices which led to
the discontinuation in April 1993 of the former business of the Company's
subsidiaries and their contracting associated medical groups.  Nine defendants
in the Lawsuit have filed cross complaints against the plaintiffs seeking
restitution, accounting from the plaintiffs for monies previously paid by the
defendants, disgorgement of profits, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and
punitive damages, based upon allegations of illegal corporate practice of
medicine, illegal referral arrangements, specific statutory violations and
related improper conduct.  The Company and its counsel do not believe that it is
likely that the Company will be held liable on any of the cross complaints;
however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in the
defense of the cross complaints. In addition, there can be no assurance as to
the recovery by the Company of the damages sought in its complaint against the
defendants.

     On March 21, 1997, the Los Angeles County Superior Court sustained the
defendant insurance companies' demurrer to the Third Amended and Supplemental
Complaint of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, without leave to
further amend the complaint.  The Court determined in such ruling that exclusive
jurisdiction with respect to the claims contained in the Lawsuit resides with
the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and that the Superior Court
of the State of California is an improper forum.  The Company has been advised
by counsel that there is no remedy for the damages claimed in the Lawsuit from
the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.  A final order dismissing
the Lawsuit was issued by the Court on June 18, 1997.  The Company appealed the
ruling in the California Court of Appeals on June 25, 1997.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful appealing such dismissal.  By
stipulation, the carriers' cross-complaints against the plaintiffs were stayed
pending resolution of the plaintiffs' appeal.  The Company believes that the
trial court's ruling, if upheld by the appellate court, also would result in
dismissal of the cross-complaints.  There can be no assurance, however, that
such cross complaints would be dismissed.  The cross complaints expose the
Company to risk of liability which, if the Company is unsuccessful in the
defense of such cross complaints, could have a materially adverse impact on the
Company's results of operations for a particular period.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company expensed
approximately $15,000 of legal expenses connected with the Lawsuit. Under the
original agreement with the Company's counsel of

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
record in the Lawsuit, there was a cap on legal expenses and after December
1996, with respect to expenses incurred at the trial court level, the Company
would only be responsible for out-of-pocket expenses and the payment to counsel
of a percentage of any recovery of damages by the Company. However, in May 1997,
the Company was notified that the partner principally responsible for the case
was leaving the firm with which the Company contracted to handle the case.  The
Company has moved the representation to new counsel, which resulted in
negotiation of a new fee arrangement requiring the Company to pay additional
legal expenses incurred in connection with the appeal.

     (e)  Debtor shall pay to Secured Party the Monthly Loan Repayment for each
          Advance in amounts and on the dates set forth in the Schedule executed
          in connection with said Advance, whether or not Secured Party has

          Party may from time to time designate by notice to Debtor. Any other
          amounts required to be paid to Secured Party under this Agreement are
          due upon Debtor's receipt of Secured Party's invoice and will be
          payable as directed in the invoice. Payments under this Agreement may

          order as Secured Party may choose.

     (f)  The Advances shall not be subject to prepayment or redemption in whole

     performance of the Secured Obligations, Debtor hereby grants and assigns to
     Secured Party, its successors and assigns, a security interest in the
     Collateral described in section 2.2 below.

2.2  Collateral.  To the extent covered in any Schedules executed pursuant to

          and nature whatsoever. Debtor warrants and agrees that the Collateral
          will be used primarily for business or commercial purposes and that
          regardless of the manner of affixation, the Collateral shall remain
          personal property and shall not become part of the real estate. Debtor
          agrees to keep the Collateral at the locations set forth in the
          Schedule(s) covering said Collateral and will not make any change in
          the location of the Collateral within such state, and will not remove

     Debtor; Debtor is satisfied that the collateral is suitable and fit for its
     purposes;; and SECURED PARTY HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR

     any other matter by any manufacturer, dealer, vendor or supplier shall in
     any way affect Debtor's duty to pay the Monthly Loan Repayment and perform

5.   Acceptance.  Execution by Debtor and Secured Party of the Schedule covering

     the collateral will conclusively establish that such Collateral has been
     included under and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of
     this Agreement.  If Debtor has not furnished Secured Party with an executed
     Schedule by the earlier of fourteen (14) days after receipt thereof or

     before the policy in question shall be material altered or canceled.
     Secured Party's acceptance of policies in lesser amounts or risks shall not
     be a waiver of Debtor's foregoing obligation.
