Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Plan Administrator
RehabCare Group, Inc. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan benefits of the RehabCare Group, Inc. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the RehabCare Group, Inc. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
(1) | Plan Description |
The following description of the RehabCare Group, Inc. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
Effective June 1, 1991, RehabCare Group, Inc. (the Company) established the Plan, a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its eligible employees. Effective July 1, 2004, the Plan was restated and thereafter amended by a first amendment, second amendment, third amendment, fourth amendment and fifth amendment. The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Eligibility
Effective June 1, 2004, employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month following employment. Prior to June 1, 2004, employees who had attained age 21 were eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month following the completion of one year of employment.
Contributions
Each participant in the Plan may elect to contribute any amount, not to exceed 75% of eligible compensation, to the Plan up to the maximum allowable under current Internal Revenue Service regulations ($14,000 and $13,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively). Participant contributions under the Plan are exempt from Federal income taxes. The Company may make discretionary contributions to match the participants’ contributions. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s discretionary contribution was 50% of the first 4% of a participant’s contribution.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Vesting
Each participant is 100% vested in his or her contributions and earnings thereon. The vested percentage of each participant’s Company contribution and earnings thereon is determined in accordance with the following table:
|
| Vested |
Number of years of service |
| percentage |
Less than 1 year |
| —% |
1 or more years |

401(k) EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
Participant Loans
The Plan has a loan program for its participants. The maximum amount a participant may borrow is the lesser of 50% of the vested portion of their account balance or $50,000, reduced by the excess of the highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding one-year period ending on the day before the date on which the loan is made over the outstanding loan balance from the Plan on the date the loan was made. Loans may be outstanding for up to five years. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. The interest rate charged to participants is a fixed rate equal to the prime rate on the date the loan is issued. Any loans outstanding shall become due and payable in full at the end of the calendar quarter following a participant’s termination. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates ranging from 4.0% to 9.5% as of December 31, 2005.
Distribution of Plan Benefits
Upon termination of service, each participant may elect to have his or her benefits distributed in either a lump-sum amount or installment payments.
Plan Fees and Commissions
Expenses incurred in the administration and operation of the Plan are paid by the Company, while investment management fees and loan administration fees are charged directly to the participants’ accounts.
Participation Forfeitures
All amounts representing forfeitures are used to reduce the amount of Company contributions for that plan year. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $119,000 and $48,000, respectively.
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, except for benefits paid to participants, which are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments in money market funds (cash equivalents) are valued at fair value as reported by the trustee, Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. Investments in mutual funds and the Company’s common stock are stated at fair value, with fair value based on quotations obtained from national securities exchanges. Investments for unlisted securities are recorded at estimated fair market values as provided by third parties. Participant loans are valued at the unpaid principal balance of the loans, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the period is reflected in the statements of changes in assets available for plan benefits. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

(4) | Related-Party Transactions |
Certain Plan investments are in money market funds managed by Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. is the trustee, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for investment administration services amounted to $13,612 and $18,497 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, Plan investments include shares of RehabCare Group Inc. common stock. RehabCare Group, Inc. is the plan sponsor, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These party-in-interest transactions are allowable under ERISA regulations.
(5) | Plan Termination |
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, all amounts credited to a participant’s deferral account will be fully vested.
(6) | Tax Status |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated March 4, 2003 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan’s administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
(7) | Plan Transfers |
Effective February 2, 2004, RehabCare Group, Inc., the plan sponsor, sold its StarMed staffing business. On April 1, 2004, the net assets in the participant accounts of the StarMed staffing business of approximately $8,300,000 were transferred out of the Plan.
(8) | 401(k) Employee Savings Plan Committee and Trustees of the Plan |
The Plan provides for a 401(k) committee, chaired by the Company’s chief financial officer, who acts as the plan administrator with representatives from the Company’s finance, human resources, and legal departments. Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. is the trustee for the Plan.
(9) | Risks and Uncertainties |
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.
