Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release 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 (the
Exchange 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 12% of
revenues in the year ended December 31, 2009; risks associated with our acquisition of Contract
Environmental Services, Inc. including integration risks and costs, or such business not achieving

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, 2008 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. Currently, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation to
reform health care in the United States which, among other initiatives, may impose cost containment
measures impacting our clients. These laws and proposed 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.
