NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Transcend Case Management, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Sullivan Health
Management Services, Inc. is a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Transcend Services, Inc. (the "Parent"). The Company
is engaged in the business of managing workers' compensation cases.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable
An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established to provide for
losses on uncollectible accounts based on management's estimates and
historical collection experience. Bad debt expense was $6,300 for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized monthly as the work is performed based on a fixed
fee per hour related to consultant's work on an individual case basis.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to seven
years.
Income Taxes
The Company is consolidated with its Parent for tax purposes. The
Company's results of operations are included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of the Parent.

PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
On March 17, 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of CORE, INC. (the
"Company") acquired the assets of Transcend Case Management, Inc., a Georgia
corporation ("TCM"), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, all of the assets of TCM
were acquired in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities and the
issuance of shares of common stock of CORE, the number of which shall be
equal to a valuation based upon future revenue performance of TCM. The
purchase price is subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. TCM is a provider of workers' compensation case management
services. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.
On June 25, 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased
certain assets and liabilities of Social Security Disability Consultants and
Disability Services, Inc. (collectively, "SSDC") for an initial purchase
price of $6,500,000 and additional performance related cash payments of up to
$920,000. SSDC provides disability management services with two key areas of
business: social security disability benefits advocacy and Medicare
coordination of benefits. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data set forth
below are based on the consolidated results of operations of the Company and
SSDC as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the results of
operations of TCM included elsewhere herein. The unaudited pro forma
combined condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998 gives effect to the
acquisitions of SSDC and TCM as if the transactions had occurred on January
1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data set forth
below do not purport to represent what the Company's results of operations
would have been had the transactions described above occurred on the date
indicated, or to project the Company's results of operations for any future
period or date, nor does it give effect to any matters other than those
described in the notes thereto.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations (Unaudited)
(1.) The acquisition adjustments consist of the following and represent:
(a.) The reclassifications of certain of TCM's expenses to be
consistent with CORE's classifications. The reclassifications
have no impact on income from operations. Expenses reclassified
include depreciation expenses (included in TCM's general &
administrative expenses) and billable travel costs (included in
TCM's costs of services versus netted against revenues as with
CORE's classifications).
(b.) The reclassifications of certain of SSDC's expenses to be
consistent with CORE's classifications. The reclassifications
have no impact on income from operations. Expenses reclassified
include salaries and benefits, equipment and facilities rent and
result in the reclassification of SSDC's operating expenses to
cost of services, general and administrative expenses, sales and
marketing expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and
interest expenses.
(c.) The pro forma amortization expense of goodwill purchased from
SSDC, valued at $6,500,000, and amortized on a straight-line
basis over 20 years.
(d.) The decrease in depreciation for SSDC assets not acquired in the
purchase.
(e.) The reduction of investment income resulting from the use of
short-term investments to finance the initial purchase price paid
for the purchase of SSDC.
(f.) The increase in income tax provision as a result of the income
recognized by SSDC for the six month period ended June 24, 1997.
The pro forma provision for income taxes has been computed
assuming the Company's pro forma results of operations had been
included in a consolidated federal income tax return.
(g.) The decrease in income tax provision as a result of the loss
recognized by TCM for the year ended December 31, 1997. The pro
forma provision for income taxes has been computed assuming the
Company's pro forma results of operations had been included in a
consolidated federal income tax return.
