2000 to $74.3 million in the first quarter of 2001,  reflecting a 12.3% increase
in weeks  worked  from 52,864 to 59,370.  Operating  earnings  for the  staffing
division were $3.5 million, a 28.9% increase over the $2.7 million earned in the
first quarter of 2000.

Inpatient  program  revenue  increased  by 1.8% from $30.5  million in the first
quarter of 2000 to $31.1  million in the first  quarter of 2001. A 2.4% increase
in the average number of inpatient  programs  managed from 134.8 to 138.0, and a
2.0% increase in the average daily  billable  census per inpatient  program from
14.8 to 15.1  resulted in a 2.8%  increase in billable  patient days to 187,010.
The increase in billable census per program for inpatient  programs is primarily
attributable  to a 5.0% increase in average  admissions per program from 94.1 to
98.8  offset by a 4.2%  decrease  in the  average  length  of stay to 13.7.  The
increase in patient  days was offset by a 0.5%  decrease in the average per diem
billing rates.  Operating earnings for the inpatient division increased by 18.6%
to $6.3  million in the first  quarter of 2001,  compared to $5.3 million in the
first quarter of 2000.

Outpatient  revenue increased by 35.1% from $9.7 million in the first quarter of
2000 to $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2001, reflecting $1.9 million from
the September 15, 2000  acquisition of  DiversiCare,  an increase in the average
number of outpatient  programs  managed from 46.0 to 64.5  (including  14.0 from
DiversiCare)  and a 6.6%  increase  in units of service per  program.  Operating
earnings from the outpatient  division were $1.9 million in the first quarter of
2001, a 2.3% decrease  compared to the $2.0 million  earned in the first quarter
of 2000.

Contract  therapy  revenue  increased  by 99.0%  from $6.2  million in the first
quarter of 2000 to $12.3  million in the first  quarter  of 2001,  reflecting  a
59.5% increase in the average number of contract therapy  locations managed from
134.8 to 215.0, and a 24.8% increase in average revenue per location.  Operating
earnings  for the  contract  therapy  division  were $1.4  million  in the first
quarter of 2001, a $743,000 increase from the $676,000 in operating earnings for
the first quarter of 2000.

Operating  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased by $17.8
million,  or 23.6%, to $93.0 million as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2000. The DiversiCare  acquisition  accounted for approximately  7.8% of the
net increase.  The remaining increase in operating expenses is attributable to a
12.3%  increase in the number of weeks worked from travel and per diem staffing,
a 59.5% increase in the average number of contract  therapy  locations,  a 31.4%
increase in outpatient units of service (excluding 129,564 units of service from
DiversiCare), and a 2.4% increase in the average number of inpatient programs.

The  aggregate  excess of direct  operating  expenses  over  operating  revenues
associated with non-exempt  inpatient acute  rehabilitation  programs  increased
from  $81,000 to  $173,000,  on a decrease in the average  number of  non-exempt
units  managed  from 7.0 to 3.0.  The per program  average  excess of  operating
expenses over operating  revenues increased from $12,000 to $58,000 reflecting a
decrease  in the average  revenue  per unit from  $68,000 to $34,000 and a 36.7%
decrease in admissions per average unit to 28.2. The average excess of operating
expenses over operating revenues for an inpatient acute  rehabilitation  program
during its non-exempt year can range to as high as $150,000 to $200,000.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased by $3.9 million,  or 21.2% from
$18.6 million in the first quarter of 2000 to $22.5 million in the first quarter
of 2001, reflecting increases in corporate office expenses as well as marketing,
business  development,  operations and  professional  services in support of the
increase in outpatient programs, contract therapy locations managed and per diem
staffing  offices  operated,  plus the  addition of general  and  administrative
expenses from the DiversiCare  acquisition.  General and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenue  decreased from 17.5% in the first quarter of 2000 to
17.2% in the first quarter of 2001 as a result of the  consolidation  of certain
corporate office functions.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  $606,000  reflecting  an increase in
goodwill from  acquisitions  and depreciation on equipment  purchased,  plus the
change in  goodwill  amortization  period  from 40 years to 25 years,  effective
prospectively  on  January  1,  2001 on the  acquisitions  of  Physical  Therapy
Resources,   Inc.,  Team  Rehab,  Inc./Moore   Rehabilitation   Services,  Inc.;
RehabUnlimited,  Inc/Cimarron  Health Care, Inc.  Rehabilitative Care Systems of
America, Inc.; Therapeutic Systems, Inc.; Salt Lake Physical Therapy Associates,
Inc.;  AllStaff,  Inc.; and DiversiCare  Rehab Services,  Inc. The  amortization
periods  for  the  acquisitions  of  Advanced  Rehabilitation  Resources,  Inc,;
Healthcare Staffing Solutions,  Inc,; StarMed Staffing, Inc.; and eai Healthcare
Staffing Solutions, Inc., which had businesses that were more national in scope,
remain at 40 years.

Interest expense decreased  $138,000  reflecting the repayment of principal as a
result of the March 20, 2001  publicly  underwritten  equity  offering  and cash
generated from operations.  See further discussion of the publicly  underwritten
equity offering under "Note 2. - Publicly Underwritten Equity Offering".

Earnings  before  income taxes  increased by $2.6 million,  or 28.0%,  from $9.3
million in the first  quarter of 2000 to $11.9  million in the first  quarter of
2001. The provision for income taxes for 2001 was $4.7 million  compared to $3.7
million  in 2000,  reflecting  effective  income  tax  rates of 39.8%  for these
periods.  Net earnings increased by $1.6 million, or 27.9%, to $7.2 million from
$5.6 million in 2000. Diluted earnings per share increased by 15.0% to $.42 from
$.37 on a 10.7% increase in the weighted-average  shares and assumed conversions
outstanding. The increase in weighted average shares outstanding is attributable
primarily to the secondary  equity  offering,  stock option grants and exercises
and the  increase  in the  dilutive  effect of stock  options  as a result of an
increase in the average  market  price of the  Company's  stock  relative to the
underlying exercise prices of outstanding options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

As of March  31,  2001,  the  Company  had  $11.8  million  in cash and  current
marketable  securities and a current ratio, the amount of current assets divided
by current  liabilities,  of 2.6:1. Working capital increased by $1.8 million to
$66.0 million as of March 31, 2001, compared to $64.2 million as of December 31,
2000.  The  increase  in working  capital is  primarily  due to working  capital
generated from operations and the exercise of stock options.

Net accounts  receivable were $89.0 million at March 31, 2001, compared to $84.0
million at December  31,  2000.  The number of day's  average net revenue in net
receivables  was 59.9 at March 31, 2001  compared to 63.8 at December  31, 2000.
This decrease was the result of the  consolidation  of our financial back office
during the fourth quarter of 2000, the  implementation of new financial software
enabling improved tracking of receivables and payables, and the vigilance of our
billing and collections team.

The Company's  operating  cash flows  constitute its primary source of liquidity
and  historically  have been  sufficient  to fund its working  capital,  capital
expenditures,  internal business  expansion and debt service  requirements.  The
Company  expects  to meet its  future  working  capital,  capital  expenditures,
internal and external  business  expansion and debt service  requirements from a
combination of internal sources and outside financing.  The Company has a $125.0
million revolving line of credit with a balance outstanding as of March 31, 2001
of $3.7 million.
