NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED 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,
2000 has been derived from, and does not include, all the disclosures contained
in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. 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, 2000. The results of operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 - Other Contingencies

The Company has an $18,000,000 bank line of credit under which it may
draw to meet short-term liquidity requirements or for other purposes, that
expires on September 30, 2001. Amounts drawn under the line are payable upon
demand. At both March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, there were no borrowings
under the line. However, at such dates, the Company had outstanding
approximately $13,000,000 of irrevocable standby letters of credit, which relate
to payment obligations under the Company's insurance program. As a result of the
letters of credit issued, the amount available under the line was reduced by
approximately $13,000,000 at both March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

The Company is also involved in miscellaneous claims and litigation
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.

Federal legislation enacted in August 1997 changed Medicare policy in a
number of ways, most notably the phasing in, effective July 1, 1998, of a
Medicare Prospective Payment System ("PPS") for skilled nursing facilities which
significantly changed the manner and the amounts of reimbursement they receive.
The Company's clients have been adversely affected by PPS, as well as other
trends in the long-term care industry resulting in certain of the Company's
clients filing for bankruptcy. Others may follow. These factors, in addition to
delays in payments from clients, have resulted in and could result in additional
bad debts in the near future.

Note 3 - Segment Information

The Company provides housekeeping, laundry, linen, facility maintenance
and food services to the healthcare industry. The Company considers its business
to consist of one reportable operating segment, based on the service business
categories, provided to a client facility, sharing similar economic
characteristics in the nature of the service provided, method of delivering
service and client base. Although the Company does provide services in Canada,
essentially all of its revenue and net income, approximately 99% in each case,
is earned in one geographic area, the United States.

The Company earned revenue in the following service business
categories:

Note 5 - Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
------------------------------------------------------------

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires all entities to recognize
all derivative instruments on their balance sheet as either assets or
liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS No. 133 also specifies new methods of
accounting for hedging transactions, prescribes the items and transactions that
my be hedged, and specifies detailed criteria to be met to qualify for hedge
accounting. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective beginning
January 1, 2001. This standard does not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.


PART I.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the first quarter of 2001 increased by 11% compared to
revenues in the corresponding 2000 quarter. The increase is primarily a result
of new food service agreements obtained from existing clients, as well as
increases in other services provided to new clients.

Cost of services provided as a percentage of revenues increased
slightly to 88.7% for the first quarter of 2001 from 88.5 % in the corresponding
2000 quarter. The primary factors affecting specific variations in the 2001
first quarter's cost of services provided as a percentage of revenue and their
effects on the .2% increase are as follows: an increase of 3.3% in the cost of
supplies consumed in providing services which is primarily attributable to
increased food costs associated with food service clients; and an increase .5%
in workers' compensation, general liability and other insurance; offsetting
these increases was a decrease of 3.3% in the cost of labor.


-8-
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
remained essentially unchanged in the first quarter of 2001 at 7.8% as compared
to 7.7% in the corresponding 2000 three month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2001 the Company had working capital and cash of
$74,944,138 and $21,417,926 respectively, compared to December 31, 2000 working
capital and cash of $73,995,109 and $22,841,618.

The net cash used by the Company's operating activities was $750,823
for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to net cash used of
$2,742,538 in the same 2000 period. The principal sources of net cash flows from
operating activities for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
were net income, charges to operations for bad debt provisions and the timing of
payments for income taxes. The operating activity that used the largest amount
of cash during the three month period ended March 31, 2001 was a $3,948,075
decrease in accrued payroll, accrued and withheld payroll taxes resulting from
the timing of these payments. The operating activity that used the largest
amount of cash during the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was a
$4,267,961 net increase in accounts and notes receivable and long term notes
receivable. The net increases in these amounts resulted primarily from the
timing of collections from clients. Additionally, first quarter 2000 cash flows
were negatively impacted by a $2,134,835 decrease in accrued payroll, accrued
and withheld payroll taxes resulting from the timing of these payments.

The Company's principal use of cash in investing activities for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was the purchase of property
and equipment.

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. Additionally, legislation enacted in August 1997 changed
Medicare policy in a number of ways, most notably the phasing in, effective July
1, 1998 of a Medicare Prospective Payment System ("PPS") for skilled nursing
facilities which significantly changed the manner and amount of reimbursements
they receive. The Company's clients have been adversely affected by PPS, as well
as other trends in the long-term care industry resulting in certain of the
Company's clients filing for voluntary bankruptcy protection. Others may follow.
These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients, has resulted in
and could result in additional bad debts in the near future. 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 and therefore may
ultimately enhance the Company's ability to collect the amounts due. In some
instances the Company obtains a security interest in certain of the debtors'
assets. Additionally, the Company considers restructuring service agreements
from full service to management-only service in the case of certain clients
experiencing financial difficulties. The Company believes that the restructuring
provides it with a means to maintain a relationship with the client while at the
same time minimizing collection exposure.

-9-
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 recorded bad
debt provisions of $750,000 in the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. 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.

The Company has an $18,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw
to meet short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash
flow. This facility expires on September 30, 2001. Amounts drawn under the line
are payable on demand. At March 31, 2001, there were no borrowings under the
line. However, at such date, the Company had outstanding approximately
$13,000,000 of irrevocable standby letters of credit, which relate to payment
obligations under the Company's insurance program. As a result of the letters of
credit issued, the amount available under the line was reduced by approximately
$13,000,000 at March 31, 2001.

At March 31, 2001, the Company had $21,417,926 of cash and cash
equivalents, which it views as its principal measure of liquidity.

The level of capital expenditures incurred 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 2001, 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 expenditures relating to
internal data processing hardware and software requirements. The Company
believes that its cash from operations, existing balances and 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.

In accordance with the Company's previously announced authorizations to
purchase its outstanding common stock, the Company expended approximately
$521,000 to purchase 95,000 shares of its common stock during the first quarter
of 2001 at an average price of $5.48 per common share. The Company remains
authorized to purchase 226,450 shares pursuant to previous Board of Directors'
action.

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
- ------------------------------------------------------------
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires all entities to recognize
all derivative instruments on their balance sheet as either assets or
liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS No. 133 also specifies new methods of

January 1, 2001. This standard does not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Statements

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 health care industry, primarily
providers of long-term care; credit and collection risks associated with this
industry; the effects of changes in regulations governing the industry and risk
factors described in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2000 in Part I thereof under
"Government Regulation of Clients", "Competition" and "Service
Agreements/Collections". The Company's clients have been adversely affected by
the change in Medicare payments under the 1997 enactment of Prospective Payment
System ("PPS"), as well as other trends in the long-term care industry resulting
in certain of the Company's clients filing voluntary bankruptcy petitions.
Others may follow. These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients
has resulted in and could result in additional bad debts in the near future.
Additionally, the Company's operating results would be adversely affected if
unexpected increases in labor and labor related costs, materials, supplies and
equipment used in performing its services could not be passed on to clients.

In addition, the Company believes that to improve its 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.
Furthermore, the Company believes that its ability to sustain the internal
development of managerial personnel is an important factor impacting future
operating results and successfully executing 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.
