Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release and any schedules incorporated by reference into it may contain 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
10% of revenues in the three month period ended March 31, 2011; 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,
2010 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 has 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.
