Act ), as amended, are not historical facts but rather 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 15% of

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. These laws
have significantly altered, or threatened 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.
Healthcare Services Group, Inc. is the largest national provider of professional housekeeping,
laundry and food services to long-term care and related facilities.
