NUTRITION MANAGEMENT SERVICES COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. However, all adjustments that, in the opinion of management
are necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements, have
been included. The results of operations for the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. The financial
information presented should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements that were filed under Form 10-K.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143
applies to all entities, including rate-regulated entities, that have
legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible
long-lived asset that result from acquisition, construction or
development and (or) normal operations of the long-lived asset. The
application of this Statement is not limited to certain specialized
industries, such as the extractive or nuclear industries. A liability
for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized if the
obligation meets the definition of a liability and can be reasonably
estimated. The initial recording should be at fair value. SFAS 143 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The provisions
of the Statement have not had a material impact on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 retains the existing
requirements to recognize and measure the impairment of long-lived
assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. However, SFAS
144 makes changes to the scope and certain measurement requirements of
existing accounting guidance. SFAS 144 also changes the requirements
relating to reporting the effects of a disposal or discontinuation of a
segment of a business. SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement did
not have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.
In April 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145,
"Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB No.
13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS No. 145) was issued. This standard
changes the accounting principles governing extraordinary
-6-

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
MARCH 31, 2003
items by, among other things, providing more definitive criteria for
extraordinary items by clarifying and, to some extent, modifying the
existing definition and criteria, specifying disclosure for
extraordinary items and specifying disclosure requirements for other
unusual or infrequently occurring events and transactions that are not
extraordinary items. SFAS 145 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with early
adoption encouraged. The adoption of this Statement did not have a
significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations
of the Company.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146
requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal
activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a
commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 is effective
prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this
Statement will have a significant impact on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition,
SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and
the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The expanded annual
disclosure requirements and the transition provisions are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure
provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial
statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 148 to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
3. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and nine
month periods ending March 31, 2003 and 2002. Stock options and warrants
did not impact earnings per share each period as they were
anti-dilutive.

MARCH 31, 2003
4. LITIGATION
On February 7, 2001, NMSC filed a suit against a major client in the
Court of Common Pleas in Chester County, PA. This suit has subsequently
been removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania. In the lawsuit, NMSC has made various claims,
including among others a claim that the client failed to pay
approximately $2.1 million in invoiced amounts, a claim that the client
failed to pay approximately $1 million in other amounts owing, a claim
for reimbursement for start up costs in an amount in excess of $400,000,
a claim for over $2 million in lost profits (or, alternatively, a claim
for reimbursement for over $300,000 in credits issued in exchange for
the promise to extend the arrangement), a claim in the nature of treble
damages and counsel fees, and other claims. The client has filed a
counterclaim which the Company is contesting as part of the overall
proceedings.
In addition to the litigation described above, the Company is exposed to
asserted and unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, the
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
This management approach focuses on internal financial information that
is used by management to assess performance and to make operating
decisions. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products,
services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of SFAS
No. 131 had no effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
The Company's reportable segments are (1) food service management and
(2) training and conference center. The Company reports segment
performance on an after tax basis. Deferred taxes are not allocated to
segments. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in
compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and,
unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance
similar to accounting principals generally accepted in the United States
of America. As a result, reported segment results are not necessarily
comparable with similar information reported by other similar companies.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock options under SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, as amended by SFAS No. 148, which contains
a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that
entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date
based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized
over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue accounting for
employee stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES. Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB
Opinion 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting
defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
The Company accounts for its plan under the recognition and measurement
principles of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. Stock-based employee compensation costs are not
reflected in net loss, as all options granted under the plan had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock
on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net
loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, to stock-based employee
compensation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by
the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without
limitation, the adequacy of the Company's cash from operations, existing
balances and available credit line. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can
be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q
will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, the outcome of the Company's litigation discussed under Item 4 -
Litigation. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements
requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's financial
statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of
significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company
believes that its critical accounting policies include those described below.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales revenue is generated primarily from fees for food service
management at continuing care and health care facilities and the Collegeville
Inn restaurant. Revenue is recognized when services are performed. Ongoing
assessments of the credit worthiness of customers provide the Company reasonable
assurance of collectibility upon performance of services.
-12-
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
adjusts credit limits based on payment history and the customer's current credit
worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The
Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and
maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based on historical experience
and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While
such credit losses have historically been within the Company's expectations and
the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue
to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $6,358,301, a
decrease of $586,885 or 8.5% compared to revenues of $6,945,186 for the
corresponding quarter last year. Revenues for the nine month period ended March
31, 2003 were $20,781,354, a decrease of $1,457,873 or 6.6% compared to the
corresponding period in 2002. This decrease is primarily due to the net impact
of revenues from lost contracts versus revenues from new contracts.
Costs of operations for the current quarter were $5,261,111,
compared to $5,475,462 for similar expenses in the same period last year, a
decrease of $214,351 or 3.9%. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2003,
cost of operations were $17,153,764, compared to $17,588,109 for the same period
last year, a decrease of $404,345 or 2.3% compared to the corresponding period
in 2002. This decrease in cost of services is due to lower revenues during the
period partially offset by inflationary price, wage and expense increases along
with payroll and related costs for new contracts.
Gross Profit for the quarter was $1,097,190, compared to $1,469,724,
a decrease of $372,534 or 25.3%. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2003,
gross profit was $3,627,590 versus $4,681,118 a decrease of $1,053,528 or 22.5%.
These decreases are due to both lower revenues during the period and a change in
the nature of client contracts.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $1,071,604
or 16.9% of revenue, compared to $1,064,830 or 15.3% of revenue for the same
quarter last year, an increase of $6,774. For the nine month period ended March
31, 2003 general and administrative expenses were $3,332,037 compared to
$3,438,356 for the corresponding period last year, a decrease of $106,319. The
decrease for the nine month period versus the prior year is due to certain cost
cutting measures implemented by the Company.

Provision for doubtful accounts for the quarter was $85,999 compared
to $225,000 for the corresponding quarter last year. For the nine month period
ended March 31, 2003 provision for doubtful accounts was $278,261 compared to
$675,000 for the same period last year. The aforementioned decreases are due to
increased collection activities, which led to overall declines in accounts
receivables in each of the current year's quarters. Additionally, a cash
recovery of $141,738 of accounts receivable previously reserved as uncollectible
was utilized to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts in the current
year. Lower sales volume also contributed to the aforementioned decreases.
Interest expense for the quarter totaled $43,862 compared to $53,088
for the same period last year. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2003,
interest expense was $148,321 versus $213,369 for the corresponding period in
2002. The decrease in interest expense is a result of the repayment of
borrowings as well as a reduction in interest rates.
For the reasons stated above net loss after taxes for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 was ($306,759) compared to ($79,774) for the corresponding
quarter last year. Net loss per share for the current quarter was $0.11 compared
to net loss per share of $0.03 for the corresponding quarter last year.
Net loss for the nine month period was ($763,921) versus ($291,337)
for the corresponding period last year. Net loss per share for the nine month
period was ($0.27) compared to net loss per share of ($0.10) for the same period
last year.

period ended March 31, 2003 was $631,198 compared to $673,049 for the nine

increased collections of accounts receivable.

last year.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Current period financing activities consumed
$421,015 in cash compared to $134,057 in the same period last year. The change
is attributable to $1,520,915 of debt repayments offset by $1,099,900 of debt
proceeds. Long-Term Note Payable declined by $730,146 from June 30, 2002
primarily due to a reclassification to Accounts Payable.

A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are dependent upon
the payment of its fees by customer healthcare facilities, that, in turn, are
dependent upon third-party payers such as state governments, Medicare and
Medicaid. Delays in payment by third-party payers, particularly state and local
governments, may lead to delays in collection of accounts receivable.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures,
including the Collegeville Inn & Conference Center, and believes that its cash
from operations, existing balances, and available credit facilities are adequate
for the foreseeable future to satisfy the needs of its operations.
