    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 nine months ended
    December 31, 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 December 31, 1998 increased by $6.4
       million to $42.0 million, an increase of 18% over the $35.6 million
       revenue for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase
       in revenues is primarily attributable to a 23% increase in patient
       management revenue along with a 12% increase in provider revenues. Case
       management revenue grew to $24.8 million from $20.1 million in the prior
       year, an increase of $4.7 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 nine months ended December 31, 1998 increased by $17.8
       million to $122.1 million, an increase of 17% over the $104.3 million
       revenue for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase
       in revenues is primarily attributable to a 22% increase in patient
       management revenue along with an 11% increase in provider revenues. Case
       management revenue grew to $71.0 million from $58.2 million in the prior
       year, an increase of $12.8 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.

       Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, increased from
       81.5% of revenues in 1997 to 82.5% of revenue for the three months ended
       December 31, 1998. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31
       increased from 81.3% of revenues in 1997 to 82.2% of revenue for the nine
       months ended December 31, 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 businesses were under greater pricing
       pressure than in prior years.

       General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased
       from 7.8% for the nine months ending December 31, 1997, to 7.6% for the
       nine months ending December 31, 1998. This decline in this percentage is
       due to the growth in the Company's revenue slightly exceeded the growth
       in general and administrative expenses. General and administrative
       expenses as a percentage of revenues for the quarter ending December 31,
       1998 declined to 7.4% from 7.7% for the same quarter in the prior year.

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily
       from cash flow from operations. During the nine months ending December
       31, 1998, net working capital increased by $4.2 million, from $24.7
       million at March 31, 1998 to $28.9 million at December 31, 1998. This
       increase was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable by $5.2
       million, from $25.6 million to $30.8 million. As of December 31, 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
       December 31, 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 December 31, 1998, the Company had no
       interest bearing debt.

        YEAR 2000 INFORMATION SYSTEMS ISSUES

       Certain computer programs written with two digits rather than four to
       define the applicable year may experience problems handling dates near
       the end of and beyond the year 1999 (Year 2000 failure dates). This may
       cause computer applications to fail or provide erroneous results unless
       corrective action is taken. The Company has developed a plan to address
       the Year 2000 issue and, in doing so, will incur internal staff costs as
       well as external consulting and other expenses related to infrastructure
       enhancements necessary to prepare its systems for the new century. A
       strategy for achieving compliance for each system component has been
       prepared. Costs of the Company's Year 2000 Project are estimated to be
       approximately $2.4 million of which approximately $1.3 million has been
       incurred through December 31, 1998. The cost of the Year 2000 Project
       will be expensed as incurred.

       With respect to Information Technology (IT) systems, our Year 2000 plan
       encompasses computer application systems, including those for
       client-server, minicomputer, and personal computer environments; and IT
       infrastructure, including hardware, operating system software, network
       technology, and voice and data communications.

       All of the Company proprietary systems development methodologies assure
       that core functions like date comparisons, date sorts, and elapsed-day
       calculations are standardized in shared-code libraries and/or utilities.
       This reduces the number of instances of redundant code to be reviewed and
       certified for Year 2000 compliance. The Company is currently conducting
       full system tests in a simulated post-2000 environment. It is anticipated
       that the certified versions of these systems will be fully implemented in
       all operating sites by June 30, 1999. Interoperability tests with
       clients' systems, if needed, commenced in the third quarter of 1998. Data
       formats used in EDI transmissions, unless specifically requested by the
       client, are Year 2000 compliant.

       Non-IT Systems
       The Company's non-IT systems are primarily comprised of systems typically
       found in commercial office buildings including, electrical, fire alarm
       and suppression, security, HVAC and elevator systems. The inventory phase
       for non-IT systems at the Company's major facilities in is complete. The
       Company is currently at the beginning of the assessment phase for its
       non-IT systems. As part of the assessment phase, the Company is
       communicating with the owners/landlords of office spaces which the
       Company leases to determine the Year 2000 readiness of such office space.
       At this time, the Company has not received any notice of non-compliance
       problems from landlords. The Company is also communicating with its
       significant vendors to determine their Year 2000 readiness and, when
       possible, obtain written assurances that the Year 2000 problem will not
       materially adversely effect their ability to continue to provide supplies
       or services to the Company.

       Each of the foregoing IT and non-IT programs are being conducted in
       phases, described as follows: INVENTORY or AWARENESS PHASE -- Identify
       hardware, software, processes or devices that use or process date
       information. ASSESSMENT PHASE -- Identify Year 2000 date processing
       deficiencies and related implications. PLANNING and VALIDATION PHASE --
       Determine for each deficiency an appropriate solution and budget.
       Schedule resources and develop testing plans. Validate the recommended
       solution with testing. IMPLEMENTATION PHASE -- Implement designed
       solutions. Conduct systems testing. The plan also includes a control
       element intended to ensure that changes to IT and non-IT systems do not
       introduce Year 2000 issues.

       The Company's bill review product for Windows is presently Year 2000
       compatible as well as the case management software. The Company's bill
       review software which runs on VMS is nearing the completion of the
       validation testing phase with implementation scheduled prior to the end
       of the June 1999 quarter.





                                 Page 10 of 15
<PAGE>   11

       The Company's software for its accounts receivable, accounts payable and
       general ledger is presently Year 2000 compatible and the billing software
       is nearing the completion of the validation testing phase with
       implementation scheduled prior to the end of the June 1999 quarter.

       Review of the non-IT systems is in the assessment phase with
       implementation scheduled prior to the end of the September 1999 quarter.

       The plan as provides for contingency plans and related cost estimates, as
       additional information becomes available. Our Year 2000 Plan is subject
       to modification and is revised periodically as additional information is
       developed. The Company currently believes that its Year 2000 Plan will be
       completed in all material respects prior to the anticipated Year 2000
       failure dates.

       Successful completion of the Company's 2000 Project is affected by many
       factors, including but not limited to Year 2000 readiness of the
       Company's key vendors and customers. The information contained in this
       statement is based on management's best estimates. However, there can be
       no guarantee that these estimated will be achieved, and actual results
       could differ materially from those anticipated based on factors such as
       availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to
       identify relevant computers codes, and the impact of the Company's
       external relationships. The possible consequences of the Company or its
       business partners not being fully Year 2000 compliant include temporary
       disruption to the delivery of services. The Company will be using
       contingency plans already in place related to the backing up of
       information systems and disaster recovery procedures. The Company will be
       developing additional and/or supplemental contingency plans where
       necessary in an effort to be prepared should a Year 2000 issue arise.

       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.

               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.

               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.
