NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Reporting
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and do not include
certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion
of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The balance sheet shown in this report as of December 31,
1996 has been derived from, and does not include, all the disclosures contained
in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996. The financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 - Other Contingencies
The Company has a $13,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw
to meet short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash
flow, that expires on June 30, 1997. The Company anticipates that this credit
line will be continued. Amounts drawn under the line are payable upon demand. At
both March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, there were no borrowings under the
line. However at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had
outstanding approximately $11,200,000 and $8,000,000, respectively of
irrevocable standby letters of credit, which primarily relate to payment
obligations under the Company's insurance program. As a result of letters of
credit issued, the amount available under the line was reduced by approximately
$11,200,000 at March 31, 1997 and $8,000,000 December 31, 1996.
The Company is also involved in miscellaneous claims and litigations
arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that these
matters, taken individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Note 3 - Provision for Estimated Cost Related to SEC Inquiry and Other Matters
On March 21, 1996 the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that the
SEC has accepted a settlement pertaining to certain allegations of violations of
the Federal securities laws by the Company and certain of its officers with
respect to periods ended on or before March 31, 1992. A settlement was concluded
on October 16, 1996 when a final judgment, upon consent, was entered in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (96
Civ.6464) based on a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission
against the
- 5 -
Company, two of its executive officers and one former officer, without admission
or denial of the allegations of the complaint by any parties. The action had
alleged violations of certain Federal securities laws, including anti-fraud,
reporting, internal controls and books and records provisions thereof by the
Company and such officers. The claims included alleged violations of Section 10b
of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Section 13a of the Exchange Act and
Rules 13a-1, 13a-13 and 12b-20. The Company and such officers are permanently
enjoined from violating certain provisions of the Federal Securities laws, and
the Company and these individuals were required to pay civil penalties
aggregating approximately $850,000, which was paid in December, 1996. The
Company agreed to indemnify the current officers with respect to their payment
obligations. The estimated monetary impact of this settlement plus related legal
costs have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
In addition, on or about May 24, 1996 the United States Attorney for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania filed a civil action against the Company.
This pending litigation is primarily a result of and arises from (1) payments
made by the Company for supplies which were allegedly furnished to clients of
the Company and the actions of the Company after the payments were made and (2)
payments made to certain clients of the Company in connection with the purchase
of laundry installations from those clients.
During 1995, the Company anticipated that it would incur a significant
amount of legal and related costs in connection with these matters. The Company
incurred approximately $950,000 of costs in 1995 and estimated that the
additional costs which may be incurred in connection with these matters would be
in a range of approximately $2,150,000 to $3,500,000 and accordingly accrued as
of December 31, 1995 the estimated low range of this liability. The result of
this $3,100,000 provision was to reduce 1995 net income by approximately
$2,321,000 or $.28 per common share. Due to the uncertainty as to the costs
remaining to be incurred relating to the United States Attorney civil action
described above, the Company may incur additional legal and related costs in
excess of the remaining amounts recorded ( $50,000 at March 31, 1997) in the
accompanying financial statements. The ultimate outcome of this matter is
uncertain and the amount of any additional liability which might finally exist
cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.
Note 4 - New Accounting Pronouncement
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, which
is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The new
-6-
standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per common share and
requires presentation of basic and if applicable diluted earnings pre common
share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the weighted-average common
shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares such as stock options.
The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on
the disclosure of earnings per common share in the financial statements.

PART I.
ITEM 2 - 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased by 5.1% over revenues
in the corresponding 1996 quarter. The following factors contributed to the
increase in first quarter revenues: service agreements with new clients in
existing geographic areas increased revenues by 17.1%; service agreements with
new clients in new geographical areas increased revenues 1.2%; and cancellations
and other minor changes decreased revenues 13.2%.
Cost of services provided as a percentage of revenues remained at 85.2%
for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the corresponding 1996 quarter.
Although the cost of services as a percentage of revenue reflected no change in
the aggregate, the primary factors affecting specific variations in the 1997
first quarter as compared to the 1996 first quarter are as follows: an increase
of .8% in workers' compensation, general liability and other insurance costs and
a .8% increase in the cost of labor; and offsetting these increases was a .6%
decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts; a .5% decrease in depreciation;
and a .5% decrease in housekeeping, laundry and linen supply costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
increased in the first quarter of 1997 to 8.5% as compared to 7.6% in the
corresponding 1996 quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to additional
costs associated with the expansion of the divisional and regional staffs, as
well as the costs of installing a new computerized financial reporting system.
-8-
The Company presently anticipates that it will incur a significant
amount of additional legal and related costs in connection with the pending
governmental civil lawsuit and related investigations and accordingly has
established a provision for this purpose ( see Note 3 - Provision for Estimated
Cost Related to SEC Inquiry and Other Matters ).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1997 the Company had working capital of $59,528,389 which
represents a 4% increase over December 31, 1996 working capital of $57,434,314.
Working capital continues to grow primarily as a result of higher accounts and
notes receivable attributable to the Company's 5.1% increase in revenues for the
three months ending March 31, 1997. The Company's current ratio at March 31,
1997 decreased to 7.2 to 1 compared to 7.6 to 1 at December 31, 1996.
The net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was
$797,704 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The components of
working capital that required the largest amount of cash were: a $2,447,075
increase in accounts and notes receivable and a $2,645,764 decrease in accounts
payable and other accrued expenses. The increase in accounts and notes
receivable resulted primarily from the growth in the Company's revenues. The
increased use of cash associated with accounts payable and other accrued
expenses resulted primarily from the timing of payments to vendors.
The Company expends considerable effort to collect the amounts due for
its services on the terms agreed upon with its clients. Many of the Company's
clients participate in programs funded by federal and state governmental
agencies which historically have encountered delays in making payments to its
program participants. Whenever possible, when a client falls behind in making
agreed-upon payments, the Company converts the unpaid accounts receivable to
interest bearing promissory notes. The promissory notes receivable provide a
means by which to further evidence the amounts owed and provide a definitive
repayment plan, which therefore may enhance the ultimate collectibility of the
amounts due. In some instances the Company obtains a security interest in
certain of the debtors' assets.
The Company encounters difficulty in collecting amounts due from
certain of its clients, including those in bankruptcy, those which have
terminated service agreements and slow payers experiencing financial
difficulties. In order to provide for these collection problems and the general
risk associated with the granting of credit terms, the Company has increased its
bad debt provision by $375,000 in the first quarter of 1997. In making its
evaluation, in addition to analyzing and anticipating, where possible, the
specific cases described above, management considers the general collection risk
associated with trends in the long-term care industry.
-9-
The Company has a $13,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw
to meet short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash
flow, that expires on June 30, 1997. The Company anticipates that this credit
line will be continued. Amounts drawn under the line are payable on demand. At
March 31, 1997, there were no borrowings under the line. However, at such date,
the amount available under the line had been reduced by approximately
$11,200,000 as a result of contingent liabilities of the Company to the lender
relating to letters of credit issued for the Company (See Note 2 of Notes to
Financial Statements).
At March 31, 1997, the Company had $23,208,378 of cash and cash
equivalents, which it views as its principal measure of liquidity.
In accordance with the Company's previously announced authorizations to
purchase its outstanding common stock, the Company expended approximately
$9,000,000 to purchase 786,000 shares of its common stock between April 3 and
April 25, 1997 at an average price of $11.42 per share. The Company remains
authorized by the Board of Directors to purchase an additional 100,000 shares.
The level of capital expenditures by the Company is generally dependent
on the number of new clients obtained. Such capital expenditures primarily
consist of housekeeping equipment and laundry and linen equipment installations.
Although the Company has no specific material commitments for capital
expenditures through the end of calendar year 1997, it estimates that it will
incur capital expenditures of approximately $2,000,000 during this period in
connection with housekeeping equipment and laundry and linen equipment
installations in its clients' facilities, as well as hardware and software
expenditures relating to the implementation of a new computerized financial
reporting system. The Company believes that its cash from operations, existing
balances and available credit line will be adequate for the foreseeable future
to satisfy the needs of its operations and to fund its continued growth.
However, if the need arose, the Company would seek to obtain capital from such
sources as long-term debt or equity financing.
-10-
Forward Looking Statements/Risk Factors
Certain matters discussed may include forward-looking statements that
are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or
objectives to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks arising from the Company
providing its services exclusively to the healthcare industry, credit and
collection risks associated with this industry, unexpected increases in the
costs of labor, materials, supplies and equipment used in performing its
services and risks arising from pending litigation referred to in Note 3 of the
Notes to Financial Statements including the possibility of increased legal and
other costs.
In addition, the Company believes that to improve its future financial
performance it must continue to obtain service agreements with new clients,
provide new services to existing clients, achieve modest price increases on
current service agreements with existing clients and maintain internal cost
reduction strategies at the various operational levels of the Company.
Additionally, the Company believes that its ability to sustain the internal
development of managerial personnel is an important factor impacting future
operating results in respect of projected growth strategies.
Effects of Inflation
All of the Company's service agreements allow it to pass through to its
clients increases in the cost of labor resulting from new wage agreements. The
Company believes that it will be able to recover increases in costs attributable
to inflation by continuing to pass through cost increases to its clients.
