NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF REPORTING
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and do not include
certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in our
opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet shown in
this report as of December 31, 20042005 has been derived from, and does not include,
all the disclosures contained in the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004.2005. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.2005. The results of operations for the
quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full fiscal year.
Inventories and supplies include housekeeping, linen and laundry
supplies, as well as food provisions. Inventories and supplies are stated at
cost to approximate a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Linen supplies are
amortized over a 24 month period.
NOTE 2 - THREE-FOR-TWO STOCK SPLIT
On April 19, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a three-for-two
stock split in the form of a 50% common stock dividend which was paid on May 2,
2005 to shareholders of record on April 29, 2005. All share and earnings per
common share information for all periods presented in this report have been
adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split.
NOTE 3 - OTHER CONTINGENCIES
We have a $22,000,000$25,000,000 bank line of credit on which we may draw to meet
short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash flow.
Amounts drawn under the line of credit are payable onupon demand. At September 30,
2005March 31,
2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, there were no borrowings under the line of credit.
However, we had outstanding at such dates we had outstanding$23,925,000 and $17,925,000, and $15,925,000,
respectively, of irrevocable standby letters of credit which relate to payment
obligations under our insurance programs. As a result of the letters of credit
issued, the amount available under the line of credit was reduced by $23,925,000
and $17,925,000 and $15,925,000 at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, respectively. The line
of credit requires us to satisfy severaltwo financial covenants. We compliedwere in compliance
with allthe financial covenants at both September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 20042005 and
expect to continue to remain in compliance with all such financial covenants. This
line of credit expires on June 30, 2006. We believe the line of credit will be
renewed at that time.
We provide our services in 4445 states and we are subject to numerous
local taxing jurisdictions within those states. Consequently, the taxability of
our services is subject to various interpretations within these jurisdictions.
In the ordinary course of business, a jurisdiction may contest our reporting
positions with respect to the application of its tax code to our services, which
may result in additional tax liabilities.
As of September 30, 2005At both March 31, 2006 and December 31, 20042005 we have unsettled tax
assessments (including interest to date) from variousa state taxing authoritiesauthority of $2,900,000$550,000 ($1,900,000,358,000, net of federal
income taxes) and $2,800,000 ($1,800,000, net of federal income taxes),
respectively.. With respect to these assessments, we have recorded a reserve at

December 31, 20042005 of $900,000$155,000 ($590,000100,000 net of federal income taxes).
On October 6, 2005 we executed a closing agreement with a
state's revenue services department settling a $2,400,000 assessment (including
interest) resulting from the state's audit of our sales and use tax filings for
the period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2003. The closing agreement settlement,
among other understandings, provides for a payment by us of $700,000 (including
interest) in connection with the audit assessment. Such payment when paid was
charged to the aforementioned reserve.
With respect to other remaining outstanding assessments of $500,000
($325,000 net of federal income taxes), we intend to vigorously defend our
positions that the assessments are without merit.-6-
In other tax matters, because of the uncertainties related to both the
probable outcome and amount of probable assessment due, we are unable to make a
reasonable estimate of a liability. We do not expect the resolution of any of
these matters, taken individually or in the aggregate, to have a material
adverse effectaffect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
We are involved in miscellaneous claims and litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. We believe that these matters, taken individually
or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effectaffect on our financial
position or consolidated results of operations.
The Balance Budget Act of 1997 changed Medicare policy in a number of
ways, most notably the phasing in, effective July 1, 1998, of a Medicare
Prospective Payment System for skilled nursing facilities which significantly
changed the manner and the amounts of reimbursement they receive. Many of our
clients' revenues are highly contingent on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement
funding rates. Therefore, they have been and continue to be adversely affected
by changes in applicable laws and regulations, as well as other trends in the
long-term care industry. This has resulted in certain of our clients filing for
bankruptcy protection. Others may follow. These factors, in addition to delays
in payments from clients, have resulted in and could continue to result in
significant additional bad debts in the near future.
NOTE 43 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS
------------------------------------------------
We manage and evaluate our operations in two reportable segments. The
two reportable segments are Housekeeping (housekeeping, laundry, linen and other
services), and Food (food services). Although both segments serve the same
client base and share many operational similarities, they are managed separately
due to distinct differences in the type of service provided, as well as the
specialized expertise required of the professional management personnel
responsible for delivering the respective segment's services. We consider the
various services provided within the Housekeeping segment to be one reportable operating
segment since such services are rendered pursuant to a single service agreement
and the delivery of such services is managed by the same management personnel.
Differences between the reportable segments' operating results and
other disclosed data and our consolidated financial statements relate primarily
to corporate level transactions, as well as transactions between reportable
segments and our warehousing and distribution subsidiary. The subsidiary's
transactions with reportable segments are made on a basis intended to reflect
the fair market value of the goods transferred. Additionally, included in the
differences between the reportable segments' operating results and other
disclosed data are amounts attributable to our investment holding company
-8-
subsidiary. This subsidiary does not transact any business with the reportable
segments. Segment amounts reported are prior to any elimination entries made in
consolidation.
The Housekeeping segment provides services in Canada, although essentially all of
its revenues and net income, 99% in both categories, are earned in one
geographic area, the United States. Food provides services are provided solely in the United
States.

We have one client, a nursing home chain, which in each of the ninethree

In the three month period ended March 31, 2006, we derived 17% and 20%27%,
respectively, of consolidated revenues. In the nine month period ended September
30, 2005, we derived 18% and 26%, respectively, of the Housekeeping and Food
segment'sFood's revenues from such client. According to
public filings, during 2005,
this client's Board of Directors agreed to conduct an auction to sell the
company. The auction was completed and the client entered into acompleted its previously announced merger agreement on August 16, 2005. At the present time, the purchaser has not met all
of its financing commitments and was given an extension to November 18, 2005 to
meet such commitments. The client has the right to explore other strategic
options until the purchaser meets its financial commitments. In the event the
sale to this purchaser is not completed, the client's Board of Directors will
continue to pursue a sale of the company.March
14, 2006. Although we expect to continue ourthe relationship with this client or itsclient's
successor, there can be no assurance thereof, and the loss of such client would
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of our two operating
segments. -10-In addition, if such client's successor changes its payment terms it
would increase our accounts receivable balance and have a material adverse
effect on our cash flows and cash and cash equivalents.

Under the Stock Option Plans, 3,863,000 shares of our Common Stock are

permitted by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", we account for stock-based
compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".
Compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is based on the
difference on the date of grant, betweenoption price which was not less than the fair market value of our stockCommon
Stock on the date the option was granted and the exercise priceno option has a term in excess of
the option. No stock based employee compensation cost is
reflected in net income, as allten years. Additionally, options granted under our plans had an exercise
price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock atvested and became exercisable either on the
date of grant. We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance
withgrant or commencing six months from the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other
Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services".
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for
the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of
the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued,

NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSoption grant date.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"issued SFAS
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R" or the "Statement") issued. This
Statement is a revision of Financial Accounting StandardsSFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
("SFAS 123R"123"), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25") and its related
implementation guidance. On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 123R using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily
on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in
share-based payment transactions. The Statement requires all share-based paymentsentities to recognize
compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS No. 123R
also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized
compensation expense to be reported as financing cash flows, rather than as an
operating cash flow as prescribed under the prior accounting rules. This
requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash
flows in periods after adoption. Total cash flow remains unchanged from what
would have been reported under prior accounting rules.
-10-
----
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we followed the intrinsic value
method in accordance with APB No. 25 to account for our employee stock options
and share purchase rights. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized
for share purchase rights granted in connection with the income statement
based on their fair values. Our option grants to employees, non-employees and
directors, as well as commonissuance of stock
issued pursuant tooptions under any of our Stock Option Plans, or through our 2000 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan will represent share-based payments. We expect(the "ESPP") for periods ended prior to calculateJanuary 1, 2006. The
adoption of SFAS No. 123R primarily resulted in a change in our method of
recognizing the fair value of share-based payments under SFAS 123R on a basis substantially
consistent with the fair value approach of SFAS 123. We plan to adopt SFAS 123R
in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. We expectcompensation. Specifically, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have aresult in our recording compensation expense for
employee stock options and ESPP rights.
The pre-tax share-based employee compensation expense recorded in the
2006 first quarter was approximately $81,000. Such expense resulted solely from
the estimated value to be recognized from the share-based payments of our ESPP.
It is estimated, at this time, that the expense attributable to such share-based
payments in each of the subsequent quarters of 2006 will approximate the amount
recorded in the 2006 first quarter, dependent on the change in our stock price.
Additionally, we do not expect to grant any employee options and therefore
recognize any share-based payments' expense from the issuance of employee stock
options in 2006 until the fourth quarter. Although such impact is expected to be
material, impact on our financial statements in that fiscal
year, but we cannot reasonably estimate the impact cannot be reasonably estimated because it will depend on
certain factors which are not fully known at this time. The options outstanding
at December 31, 2005 did not and will not impact 2006 consolidated results of
adoption because we expect
certain assumptions that can materially affect the calculationoperations and financial position since all option-holders were fully vested in
such options at December 31, 2005.
The fair market value of the shared-based payments of our ESPP for the
2006 first quarter was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate 4.0%
Expected volatility 35.0%
Weighted average expected life (in years) 1.0
Dividend yield 1.9%
Results for the 2005 first quarter have not been restated. Had
compensation expense for employee stock options granted under our Stock Option
Plans and share purchase rights under our ESPP been determined based on fair
value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net income and
earnings per share for the 2005 first quarter would have been the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
One of our directors, as well as the brother of an officer and director
(collectively "Related Parties"), have separate ownership interests in several
different client facilities which have entered into service agreements with us.
During the timethree month periods' ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, the
service agreements with the client facilities in which the Related Parties have
ownership interests resulted in revenues of adoption.$1,932,000 and $1,920,000,
respectively. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accounts and notes
receivable from such facilities of $2,266,000 and $2,343,000, respectively, are
included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During 2005, we were
issued interest bearing promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,200,000
for the obligations due amounts due from facilities operated by the brother of
an officer and director. The subject accounts and notes receivable balances due
from the Related Parties are within agreed upon payment terms.
Another of our directors is a member of a law firm which was retained
by us. During the three month periods' ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005,
fees received from us by such firm did not exceed $75,000 in either period.
Additionally, such fees did not exceed, in either three months period, 5% of
such firm's revenues.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------------------------
This report includes forward-looking statements that are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or objectives to differ
materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Such risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to, risks arising from our providing services exclusively to
the health care industry, primarily providers of long-term care; credit and
collection risks associated with this industry; one client accounting for
approximately 19% of revenues in the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2005
(such client's Board of Directors is pursuing a sale of the company, which sale
could beMarch 31, 2006
(the client has completed by year-end-its previously announced merger on March 14, 2006- see
Note 4,3, "Major Client" above); our claims experience related to workers'
compensation and general liability insurance; the
-13-
effects of changes in, or
interpretations of laws and regulations governing the industry, including state
and local regulations pertaining to the taxability of our services; and the risk
factors described in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 20042005 and in Part I thereof under
"Government Regulation of Clients", "Competition" and, "Service
Agreements/Collections" and "Risk Factors". Many of our clients' revenues are
highly contingent on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement funding rates, which
have been and continue to be adversely affected by the change in Medicare
payments under the 1997 enactment of the Medicare Prospective Payment System.
That change, and the lack of substantive reimbursement funding rate reform
legislation, as well as other trends in the long-term care industry have
resulted in certain of our clients filing for bankruptcy protection. Others may
follow. Any decisions by the government to discontinue or adversely modify
legislation related to reimbursement funding rates will have a material adverse
effect on our clients. These factors, in addition to delays in payments from
clients have resulted in and could continue to result in significant additional
bad debts in the near future. Additionally, our operating results would be
adversely affected if unexpected increases in the costs of labor and labor
related costs, materials, supplies and equipment used in performing services
could not be passed on to our clients.
In addition, we believe that to improve our financial performance we
must continue to obtain service agreements with new clients, provide new
services to existing clients, achieve modest price increases on current service
agreements with existing clients and maintain internal cost reduction strategies
at our various operational levels. Furthermore, we believe that our ability to
sustain the internal development of managerial personnel is an important factor
impacting future operating results and successfully executing projected growth
strategies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to provide the reader with information that
will be helpful in understanding our financial statements including the changes
in certain key items in comparing financial statements period to period. We also
intend to provide the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well
as a summary of how certain accounting principles affect our financial
statements. In addition, we are providing information about the financial
results of our two operating segments to further assist in understanding how
these segments and their results affect our consolidated results of operations.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements as
of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 20042005 and the periods then ended, and the
notes accompanying those financial statements.

Therefore, they are directly affected by any legislation relating to Medicare
and Medicaid reimbursement programs.
We provide our services primarily pursuant to full service agreements
with our clients. In such agreements, we are responsible for the management and
hourly employees located at our clients' facilities. We also provide services on
-14-
the basis of a management-only agreement for a very limited number of clients.
Our agreements with clients typically provide for a one year service term,
cancelable by either party upon 30 to 90 days notice after the initial 90-day
period.
We are organized into two reportable segments; housekeeping, laundry,
linen and other services ("Housekeeping"), and food services ("Food").
The services provided by the Housekeeping segment consist primarily of the
cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing of patient rooms and common areas of a
client's facility, as well as the laundering and processing of the personal
clothing belonging to the facility's patients. Also within the scope of this
segment's service is the laundering and processing of the bed linens, uniforms
and other assorted linen items utilized by a client facility.
The Food, segment, which began operations in 1997, consists of providing for the
development of a menu that meets the patient's dietary needs, and the purchasing
and preparing of the food for delivery to the patients.
Additionally, we operate two wholly-owned subsidiaries, HCSG Supply,
Inc. ("Supply") and Huntingdon Holdings, Inc. ("Huntingdon"). Supply purchases,
warehouses and distributes the supplies and equipment used in providing our
Housekeeping segment services. Huntingdon invests our cash and cash equivalents.

Consolidated revenues increased 4.8%3.7% to $117,684,000$118,918,000 in the 2006 first
quarter compared to $114,695,000 in the 2005 third
quarter compared to $112,324,000 in the 2004 thirdfirst quarter as a result of the
factors discussed below under Reportable Segments.
We have one client, a nursing home chain ("SignificantMajor Client"), which in
both the 2005 third quarterthree month periods ended March 31, 2006 and the 2004 third quarterMarch 31, 2005 accounted
for 19% and 20%,
respectively, of consolidated revenues. According to public filings, during
2005, this client's Board of Directors agreed to conduct an auction to sell the
company. The auction was completed and the client
entered into acompleted its previously announced merger agreement on August 16, 2005. At the present time, the purchaser has not met all
of its financing commitments and was given an extension to November 18, 2005 to
meet such commitments. The client has the right to explore other strategic
options until the purchaser meets its financial commitments. In the event the
sale to this purchaser is not completed, the client's Board of Directors will
continue to pursue a sale of the company.March 14, 2006. Although we expect
to continue our relationship with this client or itsthe Major Client's successor, there can be no
assurance thereof, and the loss of such client would have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated results of operations. -16-
Additionally, if such client's
successor changes its payment terms it would increase our accounts receivable
balance and have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and cash and cash
equivalents.
Reportable Segments

Our effective tax rate at both September 30,March 31, 2006 was 37% compared to our March
31, 2005 effective tax rate of 38%. The decrease in the effective tax rate is
primarily a result of a reduction in the state and 2004 was 38%.local effective tax rate.
Absent any significant change in federal, or state and local tax laws, we expect
our effective tax rate for the remainder of 20052006 to be approximately the same as
realized in the 2005 third2006 first quarter. Our 38% effective tax rate differs from the
federal income tax statutory rate principally because of the effect of state and

CONSOLIDATED SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
- --------------------------------------------------------
Although we achieved a 5.8% growth in consolidated revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by only 3.5% or $820,000. However,
as a percentage of consolidated revenues, these expenses decreased to 7.0% in
the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 7.2% in the same
2004 period. The decrease is primarily attributable to our ability to control
these expenses and comparing them to a greater revenue base in the current year.

compared to 5.2% in the same 2004 period.
Reportable Segments
-------------------
Housekeeping's 7.6% increase in income before income taxes, on a
reportable segment basis, is attributable to the improvement in the gross profit
earned at the client facility level and the gross profit earned on the 4.8%
increase in reportable segment revenues.
Food segment income before income taxes increased 26.2% on a reportable

- -------------------------------------------
Investment and interest income, as a percentage of consolidated
revenues, was .6% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to
..2% in the same 2004 period. The increase is attributable to improved rates of
return on the higher cash and cash equivalents' average balance and the increase
in market value of the investments held in our Deferred Compensation Fund.
CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We consider the two policies discussed below to be critical to an
understanding of our financial statements because their application places the
most significant demands on our judgment. Therefore, it should be noted that
financial reporting results rely on estimating the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies and
estimates are described in the following paragraphs. For these policies,estimates, we
caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and the best
estimates routinely require adjustment. Any such adjustments or revisions to
estimates could result in material differences to previously reported amounts.
-18-
----
The two policies discussed are not intended to be a comprehensive list
of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a
particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting
principles, with no need for our judgment in their application. There are also
areas in which our judgment in selecting another available alternative would not
produce a materially different result. See our audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 2004,2005, which contain accounting policies and other
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
-------------------------------
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is established as losses are
estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to
earnings. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is evaluated based on our periodic
review of accounts and notes receivable and is inherently subjective as it
requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more
information becomes available.
We have had varying collection experience with respect to our accounts
and notes receivable. When contractual terms are not met, we generally encounter
difficulty in collecting amounts due from certain of our clients. Therefore, we
have sometimes been required to extend the period of payment for certain clients
beyond contractual terms. These clients include those who have terminated
service agreements and slow payers experiencing financial difficulties. In
making credit evaluations, in addition to analyzing and anticipating, where
possible, the specific cases described above, we consider the general collection
risks associated with trends in the long-term care industry. We also establish
credit limits, perform ongoing credit evaluation, and monitor accounts to
minimize the risk of loss.
In accordance with the risk of extending credit, we regularly evaluate
our accounts and notes receivable for impairment or loss of value and when
appropriate, will provide in our Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for such
receivables. We generally follow a policy of reserving for receivables from
clients in bankruptcy, clients with which we are in litigation for collection
and other slow paying clients. The reserve is based upon our estimates of
ultimate collectibility. Correspondingly, once our recovery of a receivable is
determined through either litigation, bankruptcy proceedings or negotiation to
be less than the recorded amount on our balance sheet, we will charge-off the
applicable amount to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
-22-
At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, we identified accounts totaling $3,683,000$3,157,000 that
require an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts based on potential impairment or loss
of value. An Allowance for Doubtful Accounts totaling $2,488,000$2,485,000 was provided
for these accounts at September 30, 2005.such date. Actual collections of these accounts could
differ from that which we currently estimate. If our actual collection
experience is 5% less than our estimate, the related increase to our Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts would decrease net income by $37,000.$21,000.
-19-
----
Notwithstanding our efforts to minimize credit risk exposure, our
clients could be adversely affected if future industry trends, as more fully
discussed under Liquidity and Capital Resources below, and as further described
in our Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission for the year
ended December 31, 20042005 in Part I thereof under "Government Regulation of
Clients" and, "Service Agreements/Collections" and "Risk Factors", change in such a
manner as to negatively impact the cash flows of our clients. If our clients
experience a negative impact in their cash flows, it would have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
ACCRUED INSURANCE CLAIMS
------------------------
We currently have a Paid Loss Retrospective Insurance Plan for general
liability and workers' compensation insurance, which comprise approximately 33%32%
of our liabilities at September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. Our accounting for this plan is affected
by various uncertainties because we must make assumptions and apply judgment to
estimate the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and claims incurred but not
reported as of the balance sheet date. We address these uncertainties by
regularly evaluating our claims pay-out experience, present value factor and
other factors related to the nature of specific claims in arriving at the basis
for our accrued insurance claims estimate. Our evaluations are based primarily
on current information derived from reviewing our claims experience and industry
trends. In the event that our claims experience and/or industry trends result in
an unfavorable change, it would have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Under these plans,
pre-determined loss limits are arranged with an insurance company to limit both
our per-occurrence cash outlay and annual insurance plan cost.
For workers' compensation, we record a reserve based on the present
value of future payments, including an estimate of claims incurred but not
reported, that are developed as a result of a review of our historical data and
open claims. The present value of the payout is determined by applying an 8%
discount factor against the estimated value of the claims over the estimated
remaining pay-out period. Reducing the discount factor by 1% would reduce net
income by approximately $40,000.$47,000. Additionally, reducing the estimated payout
period by six months would result in an approximate $100,000$102,000 reduction in net
income.
For general liability, we record a reserve for the estimated ultimate
amounts to be paid for known claims.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $91,703,000$97,396,000 and
working capital of $138,300,000$147,821,000 compared to December 31, 20042005 cash and cash
equivalents of $91,005,000 and working capital of $74,847,000 and $125,012,000, respectively.$142,535,000. We view our cash
and cash equivalents as our principal measure of liquidity. Our current ratio at
September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 decreased to 5.86.1 to 1 compared to 7.2 to 1 at December 31, 2004.2005.
This decrease resulted primarily from the timing of payments for accrued
payroll, accrued and withheld payroll taxes. On an historical basis, our
operations have generally produced consistent cash flow and have required
limited capital resources. We believe our current and near term cash flow
positions will enable us to fund our continued anticipated growth.

were net income, including non-cash charges to operations for bad debt
provisions and depreciation. Additionally, operating activities' cash flows
increased by $7,203,000$5,493,000 as a result of the timing of payments for accrued
payroll, accrued and withheld payroll taxes, as well as $1,263,000 resulting
from the timing of payments for accounts payable and other accrued expenses.taxes. The operating activity that used
the largest amount of cash during the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006
was a net increase of $2,993,000$3,729,000 in accounts and notes receivable and long-term

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
--------------------
Our principal use of cash in investing activities for the ninethree month
period ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 was $1,455,000$487,000 for the purchase of housekeeping
equipment, computer software and equipment, and laundry equipment installations.
Under our current plans, which are subject to revision upon further review, it
is our intention to spend an aggregate of $500,000$1,500,000 to $1,000,000$2,500,000 during the
remainder of 20052006 for such capital expenditures.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
--------------------
During 2005On February 13, 2006 we paid, to shareholders of record on February 3,
2006, a regular quarterly cash dividendsdividend of $5,641,000$.10 per common share. Such regular
quarterly cash dividend payment in the aggregate equal to $.06, $.07 and $.08 per common share on
February 11, 2005, May 16 and August 12, 2005, respectively.was $2,730,000. Additionally,
on OctoberApril 18, 2005,2006, our Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of
$.09$.11 per common share to be paid on November 14, 2005May 10, 2006 to shareholders of record as of
October 31, 2005.April 28, 2006.
Our Board of Directors reviews our dividend policy on a quarterly
basis. Although there can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends
or the amount of the dividend, we expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly
cash dividend. In connection with the establishment of our dividend policy, we
adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan in 2003.
During the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, we expended
$3,857,000$613,000 for the repurchase of 218,00034,000 shares of our common stock. We remain
authorized to purchase 1,282,0001,248,000 shares pursuant to previous Board of Directors'
actions.

During 2005,2006, we received proceeds of $4,278,000$1,209,000 from the exercise of
stock options by employees and directors.directors, as well as recognizing an income tax
benefit of $513,000 from such stock option transactions.
LINE OF CREDIT
--------------
We have an $22,000,000a $25,000,000 bank line of credit on which we may draw to meet
short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash flow.
Amounts drawn under the line of credit are payable upon demand. At September 30,
2005March 31,
2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, there were no borrowings under the line. However, at
such dates, we had outstanding $17,925,000$23,925,000 and $15,925,000,$17,925,000, respectively, of
irrevocable standby letters of credit which relate to payment obligations under
our insurance programs. As a result of the letters of credit issued, the amount
available under the line of credit was reduced by $23,925,000 and $17,925,000 and $15,925,000 at
September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, respectively.
-21-
----
The line of credit requires us to satisfy severaltwo financial covenants. Such
covenants, and their respective status at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, were as follows:
Covenant Description and Requirement Status at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006
------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
Commitment coverage ratio: cash and cash Commitment coverage is 5.14.1
equivalents must equal or exceed outstanding
obligations under the line of credit by a multiple of 2.
Tangible net worth: must exceed $110,000,000.$115,000,000. Tangible net worth is $142,000,000$151,400,000
As noted above, we complied with allthe financial covenants at September
30, 2005March 31,
2006 and expect to continue to remain in compliance with all such financial
covenants. This line of credit expires on June 30, 2006. We believe the line of
credit will be renewed at that time.
ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
-----------------------------
We expend considerable effort to collect the amounts due for our
services on the terms agreed upon with our clients. Many of our clients
participate in programs funded by federal and state governmental agencies which
historically have encountered delays in making payments to its program
participants. The Balance Budget Act of 1997 changed Medicare policy in a number
of ways, most notably the phasing in, effective July 1, 1998, of a Medicare
Prospective Payment System for skilled nursing facilities which significantly
changed the reimbursement procedures and the amounts of reimbursement our
clients receive. Many of our clients' revenues are highly contingent on Medicare
and Medicaid reimbursement funding rates. Therefore, they have been and continue
to be adversely affected by changes in applicable laws and regulations, as well
as other trends in the long-term care industry. This has resulted in certain of
our clients filing for bankruptcy protection. Others may follow. These factors,
in addition to delays in payments from clients have resulted in and could
continue to result in significant additional bad debts in the near future.
Whenever possible, when a client falls behind in making agreed-upon payments, we
convert the unpaid accounts receivable to interest bearing promissory notes. The
promissory notes receivable provide a means by which to further evidence the
amounts owed and provide a definitive repayment plan and therefore may
ultimately enhance our ability to collect the amounts due. At September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2004,2005, we had $7,074,000$8,415,000 and $8,942,000,$8,514,000, net of reserves,
respectively, of such promissory notes outstanding. Additionally, we consider
-25-
restructuring service agreements from full service to management-only service in
the case of certain clients experiencing financial difficulties. We believe that
such restructurings may provide us with a means to maintain a relationship with
the client while at the same time minimizing collection exposure.
We have had varying collection experience with respect to our accounts
and notes receivable. When contractual terms are not met, we generally encounter
difficulty in collecting amounts due from certain of our clients. Therefore, we
have sometimes been required to extend the period of payment for certain clients
beyond contractual terms. These clients include those who have terminated
service agreements and slow payers experiencing financial difficulties. In order
to provide for these collection problems and the general risk associated with
the granting of credit terms, we have recorded bad debt provisions (in an
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) of $875,000 and $2,600,000$375,000 in each of the ninethree month periods
ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and 2004, respectively.2005. These provisions represent approximately .3% and .8%, as
a percentage of total revenues for sucheach respective periods.period. In making our credit
evaluations, in addition to analyzing and anticipating, where possible, the
specific cases described above, we consider the general collection risk
associated with trends in the long-term care industry. We also establish credit
limits, perform ongoing credit evaluation and monitor accounts to minimize the
risk of loss. Notwithstanding our efforts to minimize credit risk exposure, our
clients could be adversely affected if future industry trends change in such a
manner as to negatively impact their cash flows. If our clients experience a
negative impact in their cash flows, it would have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition.
-22-
----
At March 31, 2006, amounts due from our Major Client represented less
than 1% of our accounts receivable balance. If such client's successor changes
its payments terms, it would increase our accounts receivable balance and have a
material adverse affect on our cash flows and cash and cash equivalents.
INSURANCE PROGRAMS
------------------
We have a Paid Loss Retrospective Insurance Plan for general liability
and workers' compensation insurance. Under these plans, pre-determined loss
limits are arranged with an insurance company to limit both our per occurrence
cash outlay and annual insurance plan cost.
For workers' compensation, we record a reserve based on the present
value of future payments, including an estimate of claims incurred but not
reported, that are developed as a result of a review of our historical data and
open claims. The present value of the payout is determined by applying an 8%
discount factor against the estimated value of the claims over the estimated
remaining pay-out period.
For general liability, we record a reserve for the estimated ultimate
amounts to be paid for known claims.
We regularly evaluate our claims' pay-out experience, present value
factor and other factors related to the nature of specific claims in arriving at
the basis for our accrued insurance claims' estimate. Our evaluation is based
primarily on current information derived from reviewing our claims experience
and industry trends. In the event that our claims experience and/or industry
trends result in an unfavorable change, it would have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
--------------------
The level of capital expenditures is generally dependent on the number
of new clients obtained. Such capital expenditures primarily consist of
housekeeping equipment purchases, laundry and linen equipment installations, and
computer hardware and software. Although we have no specific material
commitments for capital expenditures through the end of calendar year 2005,2006, we
estimate that for the remainder of 20052006 we will have capital expenditures of
approximately $500,000$1,500,000 to $1,000,000$2,500,000 in connection with housekeeping equipment
purchases and laundry and linen equipment installations in our clients'
facilities, as well as expenditures relating to internal data processing
hardware and software requirements. We believe that our cash from operations,
existing cash and cash equivalents balance and credit line will be adequate for
the foreseeable future to satisfy the needs of our operations and to fund our
continuedanticipated growth. However, should these sources not be sufficient, we would,
if necessary, seek to obtain necessary working capital from such sources as
long-term debt or equity financing.
MATERIAL OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
---------------------------------------
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, other than our
irrevocable standby letter of credit previously discussed.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
--------------------
Although there can be no assurance thereof, we believe that in most
instances we will be able to recover increases in costs attributable to
inflation by passing through such cost increases to our clients.
