As previously announced, the Company sold certain assets of Interactive Therapy Group Consultants, Inc.

Accordingly, all results related to ITG’s Upstate Region have been reflected as discontinued operations.
During the three months ended December 31, 2011 revenues increased approximately 8.0% from the comparable period in the prior fiscal year as a result of increases in revenue from preschool programs and school staffing services offset by a decline in early intervention revenue. Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased 10.5% over the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
