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 (the Exchange Act ), as amended,
which are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about our business and industry, our beliefs and assumptions. Words such as believes,
anticipates, plans, expects,
will, goal, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The
inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us that any
of our plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Such forward-looking information is also subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks arising from our providing services
exclusively to the health care industry, primarily providers of long-term care; credit and
collection risks associated with this industry; one client accounting for approximately 11% of
revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010; risks associated with our acquisition
of Contract Environmental Services, Inc., including integration risks or costs, or such business
not achieving expected financial results or synergies or failure to otherwise perform as expected;
our claims experience related to workers compensation and general liability insurance; the effects
of changes in, or interpretations of laws and regulations governing

the industry, our workforce and
services provided, including state and local regulations pertaining to the taxability of our services; and the risk factors described
in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31,
2009 in Part I thereof under ''Government Regulation of Clients , ''Competition and ''Service
Agreements/Collections , and under Item IA Risk Factors . Many of our clients revenues are
highly contingent on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement funding rates, which Congress has affected
through the enactment of a number of major laws during the past decade, most recently the March
2010 enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010. Currently, the U.S. Congress is considering further changes or revising
legislation relating to health care in the United States which, among other initiatives, may impose
cost containment measures impacting our clients. These laws and proposed laws and forthcoming
regulations have significantly altered, or threaten to alter, overall government reimbursement
funding rates and mechanisms. The overall effect of these laws and trends in the long-term care
industry have affected and could adversely affect the liquidity of our clients, resulting in their
inability to make payments to us on agreed upon payment terms. These factors, in addition to delays
in payments from clients, have resulted in, and could continue to result in, significant additional
bad debts in the near future. Additionally, our operating results would be adversely affected if
unexpected increases in the costs of labor and labor related costs, materials, supplies and
equipment used in performing services could not be passed on to our clients.
In addition, we believe that to improve our financial performance we 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 our various operational levels. Furthermore, we believe that our ability to sustain
the internal development of
managerial personnel is an important factor impacting future operating results and successfully
executing projected growth strategies.
