	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation (“the Company,” “our,” “we” and “us”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
	The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. In order to conform to the current year presentation, prior year amounts have been reclassified to show human services revenues as one line item, and interest expense and interest income as interest expense, net. Additionally, prior year management fee receivables have been included in other receivables for comparable presentation purposes.
	The Company has made a number of estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
	The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Description of Business

	The Company issues both option awards and restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors. Option awards and restricted stock generally vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value expense of option awards was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and amortized over the option’s vesting periods, and the fair value of unvested restricted stock grants was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes the stock option activity:
		For the three months ended March 31, 2014
		Number of Shares Under Option			Weighted-average Exercise Price

The Amendment accelerated the expiration date of the Rights Agreement from December 9, 2014 to March 27, 2014, such that, as of March 27, 2014, the preferred share purchase rights, each representing the right to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company expired and were no longer outstanding, and the Rights Agreement was terminated. Following the termination of the Rights Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware eliminating the Preferred Shares.

	The effect of issuing 1,139,145 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the convertible senior subordinated notes (“Senior Notes”) was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 as they have a dilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, employee stock options to purchase 198,261 and 880,010 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise price of these options was greater than the average fair value of the common stock for the period and, therefore, the effect of these options would have been antidilutive.
