NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
A. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all 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 have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended March 31, 1999. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the
year ended March 31, 1998 included in the Company's registration statement
on Form 10-K.
B. Earnings per Share
Earnings per common and common equivalent shares were computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding during the quarter. For calculation of
the common and common equivalent shares, see Exhibit 11 included herein.

</TABLE>
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased by $5.8 million
to $40.5 million, an increase of 17% over the $34.7 million revenue for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues is
primarily attributable to a 21% increase in patient management revenue along
with a 11% increase in provider revenues. Case management revenue grew to $23.7
million from $19.6 million in the prior year, an increase of $4.1 million. The
increase in patient management is primarily due to a few national case
management contracts which the company was awarded during the past year.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased by $11.3 million to
$80.0 million, an increase of 17% over the $68.7 million revenue for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues is
primarily attributable to a 21% increase in patient management revenue along
with a 10% increase in provider revenues. Case management revenue grew to $46.2
million from $38.1 million in the prior year, an increase of $8.1 million. The
increase in patient management is primarily due to a few national case
management contracts which the company was awarded during the past year.

<PAGE> 9
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased from
81.4% of revenues to 82.3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30,
1998. Cost of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1997 increased
from 81.1% of revenues to 82.1% of revenue for the six months ended September
30, 1998. Both of the cost of revenues percentage noted above increased
primarily due to a higher growth rate in the patient management business
compared to the growth in the provider programs business. The patient management
business has a greater cost of revenue percentage than that in the provider
program business. Additionally, both of the Company's business were under
greater pricing pressure than in prior years.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from
7.9% for the six months ending September 30, 1997, to 7.8% for the six months
ending September 30, 1998. This decline in this percentage is due to the growth
in the Company's revenue exceeded the growth in general and administrative
expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
remained unchanged at 7.5% of revenue for the three months ended September 30,
1997 and 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily from
cash flow from operations. During the six months ending September 30, 1998, net
working capital increased by $2.0 million, from $24.7 million at March 31, 1998
to $26.7 million at September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily due to the
increase in accounts receivable by $3.0 million, from $25.6 million to $28.6
million. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had $5.2 million in cash,
primarily in short-term highly-liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or
less. The Company has historically required substantial capital to fund the
growth of its operations, particularly working capital to fund the growth in
accounts receivable. The Company believes, however, that the cash balance at
September 30, 1998 along with anticipated internally generated funds will be
sufficient to meet the Company's expected cash requirements for at least the
next twelve months. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had no interest
bearing debt.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISK FACTORS
Certain statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended March 31, 1998, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ending September 30, 1998, as well as the Company's Annual Report for the year
ending March 31, 1998, such as statements concerning the development of new
services, possible legislative changes, and other statements contained herein
regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements
(as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Because
such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Past financial performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of
future performance, and investors should not use historical performance to
anticipate results or future period trends. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those discussed
below. In addition, reference is made to the Company's most recent annual report
for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1998.
Page 9 of 13
<PAGE> 10
POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION. Many states,
including a number of those in which the Company transacts business, have
licensing and other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company's
business. Approximately half of the states have enacted laws that require
licensing of businesses which provide medical review services. Some of these
laws apply to medical review of care covered by workers' compensation. These
laws typically establish minimum standards for qualifications of personnel,
confidentiality, internal quality control, and dispute resolution procedures.
These regulatory programs may result in increased costs of operation for the
Company, which may have an adverse impact upon the Company's ability to compete
with other available alternatives for health care cost control. In addition, new
laws regulating the operation of managed care provider networks have been
adopted by a number of states. These laws may apply to managed care provider
networks having contracts with the Company or to provider networks which the
Company may organize. To the extent the Company is governed by these
regulations, it may be subject to additional licensing requirements, financial
oversight and procedural standards for beneficiaries and providers.
Regulation in the health care and workers' compensation fields is
constantly evolving. The Company is unable to predict what additional government
regulations, if any, affecting its business may be promulgated in the future.
The Company's business may be adversely affected by failure to comply with
existing laws and regulations, failure to obtain necessary licenses and
government approvals or failure to adapt to new or modified regulatory
requirements. Proposals for health care legislative reforms are regularly
considered at the federal and state levels. To the extent that such proposals
affect workers' compensation, such proposals may adversely affect the Company's
business and results of operations. In addition, changes in workers'
compensation laws or regulations may impact demand for the Company's services,
require the Company to develop new or modified services to meet the demands of
the marketplace or modify the fees that the Company may charge for its services.
One of the proposals which has been considered is 24-hour health coverage, in
which the coverage of traditional employer-sponsored health plans is combined
with workers' compensation coverage to provide a single insurance plan for
work-related and non-work-related health problems. Incorporating workers'
compensation coverage into conventional health plans may adversely affect the
market for the Company's services.
POSSIBLE LITIGATION AND LEGAL LIABILITY. The Company, through its
utilization management services, makes recommendations concerning the
appropriateness of providers' medical treatment plans of patients throughout the
country, and it could share in potential liabilities for adverse medical
consequences. The Company does not grant or deny claims for payment of benefits
and the Company does not believe that it engages in the practice of medicine or
the delivery of medical services. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will not be subject to claims or litigation related to the grant or
denial of claims for payment of benefits or allegations that the Company engages
in the practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to other
litigation that may adversely affect the Company's business or results of
operations. The Company maintains professional liability insurance and such
other coverages as the Company believes are reasonable in light of the Company's
experience to date. There can be no assurance, however, that such insurance will
be sufficient or available in the future at reasonable cost to protect the
Company from liability.
COMPETITION. The Company faces competition from large insurers, health
maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"),
third party administrators and other managed health care companies. The Company
believes that, as managed care techniques continue to gain acceptance in the
workers' compensation marketplace, CorVel's competitors will increasingly
consist of nationally focused workers' compensation managed care service
companies, insurance companies, HMOs and other significant providers of managed
care products. Legislative reforms in some states permit employers to designate
health plans such as HMOs and PPOs to cover workers' compensation claimants.
Because many health plans have the ability to manage medical costs for workers'
compensation claimants, such legislation may intensify competition in the market
served by the Company. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors
are significantly larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than
those of the Company, and there can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to maintain its existing performance or be successful with any new
products or in any new geographical markets it may enter.
Page 10 of 13
<PAGE> 11
CHANGES IN MARKET DYNAMICS. Legislative reforms in some states permit
employers to designate health plans such as HMOs and PPOs to cover workers'
compensation claimants. Because many health plans have the capacity to manage
health care for workers' compensation claimants, such legislation may intensify
competition in the market served by the Company. Within the past few years,
several states have experienced decreases in the number of workers' compensation
claims and the average cost per claim which have been reflected in workers'
compensation insurance premium rate reductions in those states. The Company
believes that declines in workers' compensation costs in these states are due
principally to intensified efforts by payors to manage and control claim costs,
to improved risk management by employers and to legislative reforms. If declines
in workers' compensation costs occur in many states and persist over the
long-term, they may have an adverse impact on the Company's business and results
of operations.
DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company is dependent to a substantial
extent upon the continuing efforts and abilities of certain key management
personnel. In addition, the Company faces competition for experienced employees
with professional expertise in the workers' compensation managed care area. The
loss of, or the inability to attract, qualified employees could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO GROWTH STRATEGY. The Company's strategy is to continue
its internal growth and, as strategic opportunities arise in the workers'
compensation managed care industry, to consider acquisitions of, or
relationships with, other companies in related lines of business. As a result,
the Company is subject to certain growth-related risks, including the risk that
it will be unable to retain personnel or acquire other resources necessary to
service such growth adequately. Expenses arising from the Company's efforts to
increase its market penetration may have a negative impact on operating results.
In addition, there can be no assurance that any suitable opportunities for
strategic acquisitions or relationships will arise or, if they do arise, that
the transactions contemplated thereby could be completed. If such a transaction
does occur, there can no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate
effectively any acquired business into the Company. In addition, any such
transaction would be subject to various risks associated with the acquisition of
businesses, including the financial impact of expenses associated with the
integration of businesses.
There can be no assurance that any future acquisition or other strategic
relationship will not have an adverse impact on the Company's business or
results of operations. If suitable opportunities arise, the Company anticipates
that it would finance such transactions, as well as its internal growth, through
working capital or, in certain instances, through debt or equity financing.
There can be no assurance, however, that such debt or equity financing would be
available to the Company on acceptable terms when, and if, suitable strategic
opportunities arise.
During the past fiscal year, the Company has made efforts to increase
its presence and revenue in the group health market with moderate success.
Managed care in this market is more mature than managed care in workers'
compensation and has numerous large competitors, primarily health maintenance
organizations. The Company has limited experience in the group health market.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this market. The
Company expects that a considerable amount of its future growth will depend on
its ability to process and manage claims data more efficiently and to provide
more meaningful healthcare information to customers and payors of healthcare.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to develop, license or
otherwise acquire software to address these market demands as well or as timely
as its competitors.
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. The market price of the Company's
Common Stock following this offering may be highly volatile. Factors such as
variations in the Company's revenues, earnings and cash flow, general market
trends in the workers' compensation managed care market, and announcements of
innovations by the Company or its competitors could cause the market price of
the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has
in the past experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly
affected companies in the health care and managed care markets resulting in
changes in the market price of the stock of many companies which may not have
been directly related to the operating performance of those companies.
