PART I Item 1. Business (a) General Healthcare Services Group, Inc. (the "Company") provides housekeeping, laundry and linen services to long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and retirement complexes. The Company believes that it is the largest provider of contractual housekeeping and laundry services to the long-term care industry in the United States, rendering such services to in excess of 800 facilities in 41 states and Canada. (b) Not Applicable (c) Description of Services The Company provides management, administrative and operating expertise and services to the housekeeping, laundry and linen departments of a single industry segment (long-term care). The Company's labor force is also interchangeable with respect to each of these services. The Company believes that each service it performs offers similar opportunity for growth. Accordingly, the Company does not deem it meaningful to identify the percentage of revenues derived from the several services which it performs. Housekeeping and laundry services. Housekeeping and laundry services is the largest service sector of the Company. It involves cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing resident areas in the facilities as well as laundering and processing the residents' personal clothing. In providing services to any given client facility, the Company typically hires and trains the hourly employees who were employed by such facility prior to the engagement of the Company. The Company normally assigns two on-site managers to each facility to supervise and train hourly housekeeping and laundry personnel and to coordinate housekeeping and laundry with other facility support functions. Such management also oversees the execution of a variety of quality and cost-control procedures, including continuous training and employee evaluation as well as on-site testing for infection control. The on-site management team also assists the facility in complying with Federal, state and local regulations. Linen services. Linen services is the other significant service sector of the Company. It involves providing and laundering the sheets, pillow cases, blankets, towels, uniforms and assorted linen items used by the facilities. At most of the facilities that utilize the Company's linen services, the equipment is acquired and installed by the Company. On many occasions the Company purchases the existing laundry installations from nursing homes with which it concurrently enters into service agreements to provide laundry and linen services. Each such installation generally requires initial capital outlays by the Company of from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on the size of the facility and the amount of equipment required. The Company could incur relocation or other costs in the event of the cancellation of a linen agreement where there was a corresponding laundry installation. From January 1, 1989 through December 31, 1995, the Company's services were cancelled by forty-one facilities with respect to which the Company had previously invested in a laundry installation. -1- During each year, except for certain agreements cancelled in 1995 and 1993, the laundry installations were sold to the Company's clients for an amount in excess of the net amount recorded on the Company's balance sheets. The laundry installations relating to agreements cancelled in 1995 and 1993 resulted in the Company receiving approximately $15,000 and $17,000, respectively, less than the net amount at which these assets have been recorded on its balance sheet. Linen supplies are, in most instances also owned by the Company, and the Company maintains a sufficient inventory of these items in order to ensure their availability. The Company provides linen services to approximately 46% of the facilities to which it provides housekeeping and laundry services. Facility maintenance, materials acquisition and consulting services. Facility maintenance services consist of the repair and maintenance of laundry equipment, plumbing and electrical systems, as well as carpentry and painting. In many instances, materials, equipment and supplies utilized by the Company in the performance of maintenance services, as well as housekeeping, laundry and linen services, are provided by the Company through its Huntingdon Supply division. The Company also provides consulting services to facilities to assist them in updating their housekeeping, laundry and linen operations. Laundry installation sales. The Company (as distributor of laundry equipment) sells laundry installations to its clients which generally represent the construction and installation of a turn-key operation. With regard to laundry installation sales, the Company generally offers payment terms, ranging from 36 to 60 months. In 1995, two facilities that purchased laundry installations from the Company canceled the Company's services. The Company received approximately $18,000 less than the net amount recorded on its balance sheet as of the dates of such cancellations. In 1993, one facility that purchased a laundry installation from the Company cancelled the Company's services. The Company received approximately $9,000 less than the net amount recorded on its balance sheet as of the date of cancellation. During 1992, five facilities that had purchased laundry installations from the Company cancelled the Company's services. In the aggregate, the Company received approximately $10,000 less than the net amount recorded on its balance sheet as of the date of the latest of such cancellations. Although the Company has incurred only minor losses related to amounts not collected as result of these laundry installation sales, there can be no assurance that any such losses will not occur in the future. Although the Company has sold laundry installations since 1981, they were not significant to the Company's operations prior to 1991 (see Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements). During the years 1993 through 1995, laundry installation sales were not material as the Company prefers to own such laundry installations in connection with performance of its service agreements. -2- Operational-Management Structure By applying its professional management techniques, the Company is able to contain certain housekeeping and laundry costs on a continuing basis. The Company provides its services through a network of management personnel, as illustrated below. ----------------------------------------------------- Vice President - Operations ----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Divisional Vice President (4 Divisions) -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Regional Vice President/Manager (15 Regions) ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- District Manager (83 Districts) ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Training Manager ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Facility Manager and Assistant Facility Manager ------------------------------------- Each facility is managed by an on-site Facility Manager, an Assistant Facility Manager, and, if necessary, additional supervisory personnel. Districts, typically consisting of from eight to twelve facilities, are supported by a District Manager and a Training Manager. District Managers bear overall responsibility for the facilities within their districts. They are generally based within close proximity to each facility. These managers provide active support to clients in addition to the support provided by the Company's on-site management. Training Managers are responsible for the recruitment, training and development of Facility Managers. At December 31, 1995, the Company maintained fifteen regions within four divisions. A division consists of two to six regions within a specific geographical area. A Divisional Vice President manages each division. Additionally, each division has a Divisional Vice President-Sales who supports the Divisional Vice President by managing the marketing efforts of the divisions's Regional Sales Managers. Regions are geographically structured to include three to eight districts and are each headed by a Regional Vice President/Manager and a Regional Sales Director who assumes primary responsibility for marketing the Company's services. Regional managers report to Divisional Vice Presidents who in turn report to the Vice President of Operations. The Company believes that its regional and district organizational structure facilitates its expansion into new geographic areas. -3- Market and Services The market for the Company's services consists of a large number of facilities involved in various aspects of the long-term care field, including nursing homes, retirement complexes and rehabilitation centers. Such facilities may be specialized or general, privately owned or public, profit or not-for-profit and may serve patients on a long-term or short-term basis. The market for the Company's services is expected to continue to grow as the elderly increase as a percentage of the United States population and as government reimbursement policies require increased cost control or containment by long-term care facilities. According to estimates of the Department of Health and Human Services, the long-term care market in the United States consists of approximately 23,000 facilities, which range in size from small private facilities with 65 beds to facilities with over 500 beds. The Company markets its services primarily to facilities with 100 or more beds. The Company believes that less than five percent of long-term facilities currently use outside providers of housekeeping and laundry services such as the Company. Marketing and Sales The Company's services are marketed at four levels of the Company's organization: at the corporate level by the Chief Executive Officer, President and the Vice President of Operations; at the divisional level by Divisional Vice Presidents and Divisional Sales Directors; at the regional level by the Regional Vice Presidents/Managers; and at the district level by District Managers. The Company provides incentive compensation to its operational personnel based on achieving budgeted earnings and to its Divisional Sales Directors and Regional Sales Directors based on new business revenues. The Company's services are marketed primarily through referrals and in-person solicitation of target facilities. The Company also utilizes direct mail campaigns and participates in industry trade shows, healthcare trade associations and healthcare support service seminars that are offered in conjunction with state or local health authorities in most of the states in which the Company conducts its business. The Company's programs have been approved for continuing education credits by state nursing home licensing boards in certain states, and are typically attended by facility owners, administrators and supervisory personnel, thus presenting a marketing opportunity for the Company. Indications of interest in the Company's services arising from initial marketing efforts are followed up with a presentation regarding the Company's services and survey of the service requirements of the facility. Thereafter, a formal proposal, including operational recommendations and recommendations for proposed savings, is submitted to the prospective client. Once the prospective client accepts the proposal and signs the service agreement, the Company can set up its operations on-site within days. -4- Service Agreements The Company offers two kinds of service agreements, a full service agreement or a management agreement. In a full service agreement, the Company assumes both management and payroll responsibility for the hourly housekeeping and laundry employees. The Company typically adopts and follows the client's employee wage structure, including its policy of wage rate increases, and passes through to the client any labor cost increases associated with wage rate adjustments. Some full service agreements also include linen services. Under a management agreement, the Company provides management and supervisory services while the client facility retains payroll responsibility for its hourly employees. Substantially all of the Company's agreements are full service agreements. These agreements typically provide for a one year term, cancelable by either party upon 30 days' notice after the initial 90-day period. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 2,075 service agreements with in excess of 800 client facilities. Although the service agreements are cancelable on short notice, the Company has historically had a very favorable client retention rate and expects to be able to continue to maintain a good relationship with its clients. The risks associated with short-term service agreements have not affected either the Company's linen services, which generally require a capital investment or laundry installation sales, which require the Company to finance the sales price. Such risks are often mitigated by certain provisions set forth in the agreements which are entered into by the Company. Many of the linen service agreements, where the Company has first purchased the laundry installation from its clients, require that in the event the Company's services are terminated, the client becomes obligated to purchase the laundry installation from the Company at a price no less then the value recorded on the Company's financial statements at the time of termination. The laundry installation sales agreements obligate the purchaser to pay for such installation upon terms independent of the services rendered by the Company. The Company encounters difficulty in collecting amounts due from certain of its clients, including those in bankruptcy, those who 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 increased its bad debt provisions (Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) by $1,672,594, $1,423,338 and $567,754 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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. Competition The Company competes primarily with the in-house support service departments of its potential clients. Most healthcare facilities perform their own support service functions without relying upon outside management firms such as the Company. In addition, a number of local firms compete with the Company in the regional markets in which the Company conducts business. Several national service firms are larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than the Company, although historically, such firms have concentrated their -5- marketing efforts on hospitals rather than the long-term care facilities typically serviced by the Company. Although the competition to service long-term care facilities is strong, the Company believes that it competes effectively for new agreements, as well as renewals of existing agreements based upon the quality and dependability of its services and the cost savings it can effect for the client. Employees At December 31, 1995, the Company employed 1,614 management and supervisory personnel. Of these employees, 168 held executive, management and office support positions, and 1,446 of these salaried employees were on-site management personnel. On such date, the Company employed approximately 10,911 hourly employees. Many of the Company's hourly employees are previous support employees of the Company's clients. In addition, the Company manages hourly employees who remain employed by certain of its clients. Approximately 11% of the Company's hourly employees are unionized. These employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements that are negotiated by individual client facilities and are assented to by the Company so as to bind the Company as an "employer" under the contract. The Company may be adversely affected by relations between its client facilities and the employee unions. The Company is a party to a negotiated collective bargaining agreement with respect to approximately 20 employees at three facilities located in New York. The Company believes its employee relations are satisfactory. (d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales Not Applicable. Item 2. Properties The Company leases its corporate offices, located at 2643 Huntingdon Pike, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania 19006, which consists of 6,600 square feet. The term of the lease expires on March 31, 2001. The Company also leases office space at other locations in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, Illinois, California, Colorado, Georgia, Missouri and Texas. These locations serve as divisional or regional offices. In addition, the Company leases warehouse space in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Florida for the Huntingdon Supply division. Each office consists of approximately 1,000 square feet, and each warehouse consists of approximately 5,000 square feet. None of these leases is for more than a five-year term. The Company is provided with office and storage space at each of its client facilities. Management does not foresee any difficulties with regard to the continued utilization of such premises. The Company presently owns laundry equipment, office furniture and equipment, housekeeping equipment and automobiles and trucks. Management believes that all of such equipment is sufficient for the conduct of the Company's current operations. -6- Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been conducting a non-public investigation since 1990 with respect to certain matters, including the Company's financial statements, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has cooperated fully with such inquiry on a voluntary basis. On March 21, 1996, the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that the SEC had accepted a settlement which had been offered by the Company and recommended by the Staff, pertaining to certain allegations of violations of the Federal securities laws by the Company and certain of its officers with respect to periods ended on or before March 31, 1992. The settlement is subject to mutual agreement on the final form of the Complaint and Consent to be filed in the United States District Court. Under the settlement, upon the filing of the complaint and the entry of a final judgment upon consent, and without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the complaint, the Company, two officers and a former officer, will be permanently enjoined from violating certain provisions of the Federal securities laws, and the Company and these individuals will be required to pay civil penalties aggregating approximately $825,000. Upon entry of a final judgement, the Company will file a Report with the SEC containing the final Judgement, the Consent and the SEC Complaint. The estimated monetary impact of this settlement plus related legal costs have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements (see Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements). In addition, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is investigating matters relating to certain payments (approximately $84,000 in 1988, $54,000 in 1989, $110,000 in 1990, $125,000 in 1991 and $34,000 in 1992) made by the Company between June 1988 and January 1992 to certain vendors that were not in accordance with Company policy. This matter was previously investigated and reported upon by the Company in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1991. Information regarding this matter was voluntarily furnished to the U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey in May and November 1992 and such payments were recovered by the Company in November 1992. The Company is cooperating with the U.S. Attorney's office in an attempt to resolve any issues or claims arising out of these payments. Item 4.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS From 1991 through 1995, the Company's revenues grew at a compound annual rate of 12%. This growth was achieved through obtaining new clients in both existing and newly developed market areas, as well as providing additional services to existing clients. Although there can be no assurance thereof, the Company anticipates future growth, although its compound growth rates will likely decrease as growth is measured against the Company's increasing revenue base. The following table sets forth for the years indicated the percentage which certain items bear to revenues:
Relation to Total Revenues Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 -------- -------- -------- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Operating costs and expenses: Costs of services provided 85.6 84.4 84.7 Selling, general and administrative 8.2 8.1 7.9 Recovery of contingent losses on promissory notes sold (0.2) (0.2) (0.4) Other income .6 0.3 .2 Provision for estimated cost related to SEC inquiry and other matters (Note 10) (2.1) -- -- -------- -------- -------- Income before income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting for income taxes 4.9 8.0 8.0 Income taxes 2.3 3.3 3.2 -------- -------- -------- Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting for income taxes 2.6 4.7 4.8 Extraordinary item -- class action litigation settlement, net of income tax benefit (1.2) Cumulative effect of change in accounting for income taxes .1 -------- -------- -------- Net income 2.6% 4.7% 3.7% ======== ======== ========
1995 COMPARED WITH 1994 Revenues increased 9% to $148,746,773 in 1995 from $136,414,172 in 1994. The following factors contributed to the increase in revenues: service agreements with new clients in existing geographic areas increased revenues 19.3%; geographic expansion increased revenues 2.7%; and cancellations and other minor changes decreased revenues 13.0%. Costs of services provided as a percentage of revenues increased to 85.6% in 1995 from 84.4% in 1994. The primary factors affecting the variations and their impact on the 1.2% change in cost of services provided as a percentage of revenue are as follows: increase in labor costs of 1.1%; increase of .7% in amortization of service agreements and costs associated with service agreements cancelled (See Note 1 -- Intangible Assets of Notes to Financial Statements); offsetting these increases were decreases of .4% and .3% in regional and district costs and depreciation expense, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 8.2% in 1995 from 8.1% in 1994 primarily as a result of additional costs associated with expanding the divisional and regional staffs in order to better position the Company to achieve its performance objectives in the future. RECOVERY FROM COLLECTING $300,000 OF PROMISSORY NOTES SOLD THAT WAS RESERVED FOR IN 1991 A client paid; $150,000 in the first quarter of 1995, $50,000 in the second quarter of 1995, and $100,000 in the third quarter of 1995 (or an aggregate of $300,000). These payments represent the pay-off of the remaining balance on a note. As a result, the Company recorded the recovery as income in its Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 1994 (see Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements). 1994 COMPARED WITH 1993 Revenues increased 19% to $136,414,172 in 1994 from $114,275,458 in 1993. The following factors contributed to the increase in revenues: service agreements with new clients in existing geographic areas increased revenues 21.1%; geographic expansion increased revenues 2.8%; and cancellations and other minor changes decreased revenues 4.7%. Costs of services provided as a percentage of revenues decreased to 84.4% in 1994 from 84.7% in 1993. The primary factors affecting the variations and their impact on the net .3% change in cost of services provided as a percentage of revenue are as follows: decrease in workers' compensation, general liability and other insurance of 1%; decrease in depreciation expense of .3%; offsetting these decreases was an increase of .5% in allowance for doubtful accounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 8.1% in 1994 from 7.9% in 1993 primarily as a result of additional costs associated with expanding the divisional and regional staffs in order to better position the Company to achieve its performance objectives in the future. RECOVERY FROM COLLECTING $300,000 OF PROMISSORY NOTES SOLD THAT WAS RESERVED FOR IN 1991 A client paid; $50,000 in the first quarter of 1994, $75,000 in each of the second and third quarters of 1994, and $100,000 in the fourth quarter of 1994 (or an aggregate of $300,000) as partial payment on a note. As a result, the Company recorded the recovery as income in its Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 1994 (see Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of $51,067,973 which represents a 11% increase over $46,146,376 at December 31, 1994. Working capital continues to grow, reflected principally in increased cash and cash equivalents and higher accounts receivable. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is a result of the improvement in the collection of receivables, as well as the timing of payments to vendors. Higher accounts receivable are primarily attributable to the Company's 9% increase in revenues. The Company's current ratio at December 31, 1995 was 6.3 to 1 compared to 6.5 to 1 and 6.2 to 1 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was $5,940,040 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The components of working capital that required the largest amount of cash were: increases in accounts receivable and long term trade notes receivable of $1,362,583 and $1,712,922, respectively and a $1,466,184 increase in prepaid income taxes. The increase in accounts receivable and long term trade notes receivable resulted primarily from the continued growth in the Company's revenues, which increased 9%. The increased use of cash associated with prepaid income taxes resulted primarily from the timing of estimated income tax liability payments. Although accounts receivable have increased in 1995, the number of days revenue (based on fourth quarter revenues) in the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 1995 was reduced to 79 days from 81 days at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, the Company had working capital of $46,146,376 which represents a 16% increase over December 31, 1993. Working capital continues to grow, reflected principally in increased cash and cash equivalents and higher accounts receivable. The increase in cash and cash equivalants is a result of the improvement in the collection of receivables, as well as the timing of payments to vendors. Higher accounts receivable is primarily attributable to the Company's 19% increase in revenues. The Company's current ratio at December 31, 1994 was 6.5 to 1 compared to 6.2 to 1 and 6.6 to 1 in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was $3,934,184 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The component of working capital that required the largest amount of cash was accounts receivable, which increased by $3,394,706. The increase resulted primarily from the continued growth in the Company's revenues, which increased 19%. Although accounts receivable have increased in 1994, the number of days revenue (based on fourth quarter revenues) in the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 1994 was reduced to 81 days from 90 days at December 31, 1993. The net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was $2,992,440 for the year ended December 31, 1993. The component of working capital that required the largest amount of cash was accounts receivable, which increased by $4,712,412. The increase resulted primarily from the continued growth in the Company's revenues, which increased 15%. Although accounts receivable have increased in 1993, the number of days revenue (based on fourth quarter revenues) in the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 1993 was reduced to 90 days from 91 days at December 31, 1992. 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. Whenever possible, when a client falls behind in making agreed-upon payments, the Company converts the unpaid accounts receivable to interest bearing promissory notes receivable. The promissory notes receivable provide a means by which to further evidence the amounts owed, provide a definitive repayment plan and therefore may enhance the ultimate collectibility of the amounts due. In some instances the Company obtains a security interest in certain of the debtors' assets. 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 increased its bad debt provisions (allowance for doubtful accounts) by $1,672,594, $1,423,338 and $567,754 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In making its evaluation, in addition to the 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 a $13,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw to meet short-term liquidity requirements in excess of internally generated cash flow, that expires on June 30, 1996. Amounts drawn under the line are payable on demand. At December 31, 1995, there were no borrowings under the line. However, at such date, the amount available under the line had been reduced by approximately $8,200,000 as a result of contingent liabilities of the Company to the lender relating to letters of credit issued for the Company. At December 31, 1995, the Company had $16,335,886 of cash and cash equivalents, which it views as its principal measure of liquidity. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company and its insurer reached an agreement in principle to settle the consolidated class action complaints filed against it in Federal District Court. The Order approving the settlement was approved by the court on September 8, 1994 and became effective on October 10, 1994. The settlement provided for the payment of $2,625,000 by the Company's insurer and common stock having a value of $2,125,000 to be issued by the Company (see Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements). On August 1, 1995, the Company issued 180,851 shares of its common stock representing its payment obligation under the 1993 settlement of the consolidated class action complaints. Accordingly, the December 31, 1995 Balance Sheet reflects the payment of the previously recorded Litigation Liability of $2,125,000 by increasing stockholders' equity in the same amount. The Company has no specific material commitments for capital expenditures and believes that its cash from operations, existing balances and available 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. 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. OTHER DEVELOPEMENTS/ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED In 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires a change from the deferred method to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. The statement also requires that deferred tax liabilities or assets be adjusted for the future effects of any changes in tax laws or rates. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 as of January 1, 1993 required the recognition of a deferred tax asset of $103,853 (see Note 4 to Notes to Financial Statements). SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," is required to be implemented in 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of that loss would be based on the fair value of the asset. The Company believes that implementation of this statement will not have any material effect on its financial position. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," is also required to be implemented in 1996 and introduces a choice of the method of accounting used for stock-based compensation. Entities may use the "intrinsic value" method currently based on APB No. 25 or the new "fair value" method contained in SFAS No. 123. The Company intends to implement SFAS No. 123 in 1996 by continuing to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. As required by SFAS No. 123, the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share will be determined as if the fair value based method had been applied and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

See accompanying notes. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 -- Summary of SignificanT Accounting Policies General The Company provides housekeeping, laundry and linen services to long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and retirement complexes. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase. Inventories and supplies Inventories and supplies include housekeeping and laundry supplies which are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Linen supplies are included in inventory and are amortized over a 24 month period. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs are expensed. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: laundry and linen equipment -- 3 to 7 years; housekeeping equipment and office furniture -- 3 to 7 years; autos and trucks -- 3 years. Revenue recognition Revenues from service agreements are recognized as services are performed. The Company (as a distributor of laundry equipment since 1981) occasionally makes sales of laundry installations to certain of its clients. The sales in most cases represent the construction and installation of a turn-key operation and are for payment terms ranging from 36 to 60 months. The Company's accounting policy for these sales is to recognize the gross profit over the life of the original payment terms associated with the financing of the transactions by the Company. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, laundry installation sales were not material. Income taxes Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. These temporary differences arise primarily from differing methods used for financial and tax purposes to calculate insurance expense, certain receivable reserves, other provisions which are not currently deductible for tax purposes, and revenue recognized on laundry installation sales. During the first quarter of 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes" (see Note 4). Income taxes paid were approximately $3,391,000, $3,356,000 and $2,310,000 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Intangible assets Intangible assets at December 31, 1994 arose from the 1988 acquisition of American Services Company (subsequently renamed HEalthcare Services Company and merged into the Company). They consisted principally of commenced service agreements of $1,454,996 (prior to accumulated amortization) at December 31, 1994. The amounts reflect an adjustment to the original purchase price, as well as certain service agreement cancellations. The commenced service agreements were being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty-six years up to December 1994. In December 1994, as a result of a change in control of the nursing homes, the long term service agreements with the Company were cancelled. However, many of the nursing homes continued to utilize the services of the Company under standard 30 day cancellable service agreements. As a result, the Company reevaluated the remaining life of the related intangible assets and commenced amortization of the remaining balance over a three year period beginning in January 1995. During 1995, the remaining service agreements were cancelled and the unamortized balance was charged to operations. There was no significant effect on operations in 1994 as a result of this change in estimated remaining lives. Amortization charged to earnings was $954,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $55,960 per year for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. Costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired Costs in excess of the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding forty years. All of the carrying value at December 31, 1995 resulted from a 1985 acquisition which is being amortized over a thirty-one year period. Amortization charged to earnings was $108,958 in 1995 and $111,625 per year in 1994 and 1993. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation and amortization of costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired. As part of this review, the Company estimates the value and future benefits of the net income generated by the related service agreements to determine that no impairment has occurred. Other noncurrent assets Other noncurrent assets consist of: 1995 1994 ------------ ------------ Long-term note receivables $9,471,036 $7,758,114 Other 268,155 405,020 ------------ ------------ $9,739,191 $8,163,134 ============ ============ Long-term notes receivable primarily represent trade receivables that were converted to notes to enhance collection efforts. Interest income is only recognized as cash payments are received. Amounts shown are net of allowance of $549,400 and $965,900 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Reclassification Certain reclassifications to 1994 reported amounts have been made in the financial statements to conform to 1995 presentation. Concentration of credit risk Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105 ("SFAS no. 105") requires the disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk, regardless of the degree of such risk. Financial instruments, as defined by SFAS No. 105, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, substantially, all of the company's cash and cash equivalents were invested with one financial institution. The Company's clients are concentrated in one industry, providers of long-term care. The clients are generally individual long-term care facilities with a wide geographical dispersion. However, recent industry trends indicate consolidation of nursing home ownership into chains, which can lead to a customer concentration. At DECEMBER 31, 1995, no single client or nursing home chain accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. Fair value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of financial instruments (principally consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable) approximate fair value. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," Is required to be implemented in 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of that loss would be based on the fair value of the asset. The Company believes that implementation of this statement will not have any material effect on its financial position. SFAS NO. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," is also required to be implemented in 1996 and introduces a choice of the method of accounting used for stock-based compensation. Entities may use the "intrinsic value" method currently based on APB No. 25 or the new "fair value" method contained in SFAS No. 123. The Company intends to implement SFAS No. 123 in 1996 by continuing to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. As required by SFAS No. 123, the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share will be determined as if the fair value based method had been applied and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Note 2 -- Lease Commitments The Company leases office facilities and autos under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2002 (see Note 5). The following is a schedule, by calendar years, of future minimum lease payments under operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1995: Operating Year Leases - ---- ---------- 1996 $ 394,564 1997 225,579 1998 148,470 1999 133,231 2000 108,324 Thereafter 32,746 ----------- Total minimum lease payments $1,042,914 =========== Total expense for all operating leases was $644,302, $792,570 and $725,222 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Note 3 -- Stockholders' Equity On May 23, 1995, the Stockholders approved an increase in authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 authorized shares, $.01 par value. As of December 31, 1995, 1,062,388 shares of common stock were reserved under various Incentive Stock Option Plans, including one approved by stockholders on May 23, 1995 (the "1995 Plan"). Of such amount, 550,515 shares which were available for future grant. On December 1, 1995, 90,039 incentive stock options were granted under the 1995 Plan. These options are exercisable commencing June 1, 1996.

Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the diferences are expected to reverse. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 as of January 1, 1993 required the recording of a deferred tax asset of $103,853. Such amount has been reflected in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1993 as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. SFAS No. 109 did not have a material impact on the results of 1993 operations. Note 5 -- Related Party Transactions The Company leases its corporate offices from a partnership in which the chief executive officer of the Company is a general partner. The rental payments made during the year ended December 31, 1995 was $88,617 and $74,900 per year for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. The Company made no leasehold improvements in either 1994 or 1993, although in 1995 the Company made leasehold improvements of approximately $23,150. A director of the Company has an ownership interest in several client facilities which have entered into service agreements with the Company. In addition, an officer of the Company has minority ownership interests in a client facility of the Company. During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 all of these agreements collectively resulted in revenues of approximately $3,010,000, $3,203,000, and $2,991,000 respectively. Note 6 -- Sale of Promissory Notes Receivable and Provision for Contingent Losses on Promissory Notes Sold In 1991 and 1990, the Company sold to its bank, with recourse, promissorY notes receivable at face value of approximately $3,800,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. As of December 31, 1995 the 1991 and 1990 promissory notes sold have been paid in full. As of December 31, 1994 approximately $300,000 and $800,000, respectively, of the aggregate amount of such promissory notes sold in each year remained out standing. On July 15, 1992, a client paid in full to the Company's bank one of the promissory notes in the amount of $910,000. In addition, the client paid $400,000 in 1993 and $300,000 in both 1994 and 1995 as partial payment on another note (see discussion below regarding these promissory notes). Therefore, the Company reversed the provision recorded as of December 31, 1991 and recognized the $910,000, $400,000, $300,000 and $300,000 payments as income in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. All of the promissory notes sold during 1990 and all but one of the promissory notes sold during 1991 represent accounts receivable due to the Company for services rendered. These accounts receivable had been converted to promissory notes prior to their sale to the bank. The Company converted the accounts receivable to interest bearing promissory notes receivable in order to further evidence the amounts owed and to enhance its collection efforts. All of the promissory notes (except the one mentioned in the following paragraph) provided for monthly payments of principal and interest and some were secured by certain assets of the issuers. Pursuant to agreements with its bank, the Company would have been required to post substitute collateral if its line of credit from its bank expired or was terminated prior to the promissory notes being paid in full. In 1991, the Company made arrangements with its bank to provide financing of $1,000,000 to one of its clients for which the Company agreed to guarantee payment. In order for the Company to negotiate maximum security for its guarantee, the Company made the loan directly to the client and simultaneously sold the promissory note receivable to the bank. In addition, among the notes sold during 1991, is a promissory note in the amount of $910,000 which was issued in 1990 by an entity related to this client and subsequently paid in full to the bank on July 15, 1992. On April 22, 1992 a director of the Company, who is not an officer, agreed to purchase these promissory notes (for the full principal amount thereof plus accrued interest) without recourse to the Company, upon a request by the bank that the Company post substitute collateral. Any such purchase would include the assignment of the collateral pledged as security. The Company entered into this agreement (which was approved by the Board of Directors) with the director in order to protect its interests with respect to these promissory notes. The director is engaged in the operation of nursing homes. Although the Company believed that it would not have incurred any financial loss as a result of these promissory notes, it had, as of December 31, 1994 established a reserve for contingent losses in the amount of $300,000. The borrower of the $1,000,000 financing used the proceeds to fully fund the purchase price for its acquisition of the client. The equity method of accounting had been used to value the collateral held as security for these promissory notes, which, as a consequence of losses incurred by the client after the closing date of the transaction, had resulted in the Company providing a reserve for the total unpaid amount of the promissory notes as of December 31, 1994. During 1995, the balance of the promissory note was paid in full. Note 7 -- Laundry Installation Purchases During 1993, 1994 and 1995 the Company purchased certain existing laundry installations from nursing homes with which it concurrently entered into service agreements to provide laundry and linen services. The Company entered into the following laundry installation purchase transactions; in 1993 with ten nursing homes for approximately $545,000, in 1994 with six nursing homes for approximately $306,000 and in 1995 with seven nursing homes for approximately $100,125. the agreements governing these purchase transactions provide that if the service agreements are terminated at any time, the nursing home is obligated to buy the laundry installations at a purchase price based on the Company's original cost together with any additional equipment, improvements or expansion required in order to improve or increase the productivity of operation (after depreciation on a straight line basis over the original term of the service agreement which is generally three to seven years). THe Company has recorded these transactions as purchases of property and equipment and they are reported as such in the accompanying balance sheets net of accumulated depreciation. The equipment is generally being depreciated over a three to five year period. Note 8 -- Extraordinary Item -- Settlement of Class Action Litigation In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company and its insurer consummated an agreement to settle the consolidated class action complaints filed against it in Federal District Court in 1991 and 1992. The settlement was approved by court order dated September 8, 1994 and became effective on October 10, 1994. The settlement provided for the payment of $2,625,000 by the Company's insurer and the issuance of common shares by the Company having a value of $2,125,000. The settlement and related estimated legal costs have been recorded as an extraordinary item in 1993. Such extraordinary item reduced 1993 net income by approximately $1,437,000, net of income tax benefit of $844,000. On August 1, 1995, the Company issued 180,851 shares of its common stock representing its payment obligation under the 1993 settlement relating to the consolidated class action complaints. Accordingly, the effect of issuing these shares is reflected in the per share amounts reported for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. The December 31, 1995 Balance Sheet also reflects the payment of the previously recorded Litigation Liability of $2,125,000 by increasing stockholders' equity in the same amount. Note 9 -- Other Contingencies In 1988, the Company acquired a 19.5% interest in T.L.C. St Petersburg, Inc. ("TLC"), a corporation which owned and operated a long-term care facility in Florida and which was a client of the Company. The Company had guaranteed $1,500,000 of working capital loans of TLC at both December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 and has pledged equal amounts of certificates of deposit as collateral for the guarantees (which is listed as Certificates of Deposit Pledged for Loan Guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1994. In addition, the Company had guaranteed notes payable of approximately $1,700,000. TLC made all required principal and interest payments due under the terms of these loans through December 31, 1994. Total guarantees for TLC aggregate $3,200,000 at December 31, 1994. During 1993, one of the Company's clients, which owns and operates a significant number of long-term care facilities throughout the country, purchased from a third party the balance of the issued and outstanding shares of TLC and that client now holds 90.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of TLC. During the fourth quarter of 1993, TLC entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its assets to an unrelated third party. The sale closed on March 28, 1995 and all loans guaranteed by the Company have been paid in full and the Certificates of Deposit pledged for the Loan Guarantees have been released to the Company. As of January 1, 1994, TLC entered into a twenty year agreement to lease the operations of the facility to an entity controlled by TLC's majority shareholder. The purchaser of TLC's assets assumed such operating lease. By reason of TLC's uncertain financial condition, the Company, until the time TLC entered into an agreement to sell its assets, fully reserved advances to and receivables from TLC which amounted to approximately $2,000,000 at both December 31, 1994 and 1993 and $1,200,000 at December 31, 1992. Subsequent to the sales agreement, the Company advanced approximately $2,900,000 to TLC. The obligations are being repaid in accordance with the terms of a promissory note issued to the Company. The Company has a $13,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw to meet short-term liquidity requirements or for other purposes, that expires on June 30, 1996. Amounts drawn under the line are payable upon demand. At both December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no borrowings under the line. However during 1991 and 1990, the Company sold promissory notes receivable of approximately $3,800,000 and $2,500,000, respectively, to its bank with recourse. As of December 31, 1995 the 1991 and 1990 promissory notes receivable have been paid in full. At December 31, 1994, the unpaid balance of the promissory notes receivable sold was approximately $1,100,000 (see Note 7). At both December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had outstanding approximately $8,200,000 of irrevocable standby letters of credit, which primarily relate to payment obligations under the Company's insurance program. As a result of the promissory notes receivable sold and letters of credit issued, the amount available under the line was reduced by approximately $8,200,000 at December 31, 1995 and $9,300,000 at December 31, 1994. Note 10 -- Provision for Estimated Cost Related to SEC Inquiry and Other Matters The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been conducting a non-public investigation since 1990 with respect to certain matters, including the Company's financial statements, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has cooperated fully with such inquiry on a voluntary basis. On March 21, 1996 the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that the SEC had accepted a settlement which had been offered by the Company and recommended by the staff pertaining to certain allegations of violations of the Federal securities laws by the Company and certain of its officers with respect to periods ended on or before March 31, 1992. The settlement is subject to mutual agreement on the final form of the Complaint and Consent to be filed in the United States District Court. Under the settlement, upon filing of the Complaint and the entry of a final judgment upon Consent, and without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the Complaint, the Company, two officers and a former officer, will be permanently enjoined from violating certain provisions of the Federal securities laws, and the Company and these individuals will be required to pay civil penalties aggregating approximately $825,000. The estimated monetary impact of this settlement plus related legal costs have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is investigating matters relating to certain payments (approximately $84,000 in 1988, $54,000 in 1989, $110,000 in 1990, $125,000 in 1991 and $34,000 in 1992) made by the Company between June 1988 and January 1992 to certain vendors that were not in accordance with Company policy. This matter was previously investigated and reported upon by the Company in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1991. Information regarding this matter was voluntarily furnished to the U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey in May and November 1992 and such payments were recovered by the Company in November 1992. The Company is cooperating with the United States Attorney's office in an attempt to resolve any issues or claims arising out of these payments. The Company anticipates that it will incur a significant amount of legal and related costs in connection with these matters. During 1995, the Company incurred approximately $950,000 of costs and estimates that the additional costs which may be incurred in connection with these matters will be in a range of approximately $2,150,000 to $3,500,000 and accordingly has accrued as of December 31, 1995 the estimated low range of this liability. The result of this $3,100,000 provision was to reduce 1995 net income by approximately $2,321,000 or $.28 per common share. Note 11 -- Accrued Insurance Claims For years 1993 through 1995, the Company has a PAid Loss Retrospective Insurance plan for general liability and workers' compensation insurance. In addition, for years 1993 and 1994, the Company also had a Paid Loss Retrospective Insurance Plan for its automobiles. Under these plans, predetermined loss limits are arranged with an insurance company to limit both The Company's per occurence cash outlay and annual insurance plan cost. For workers' compensation and automobile insurance, the Company records a reserve based on the present value of future payments that are developed as a result of a review of the Company's historical data and actuarial analysis done by an independent company. The accrued insurance claims were reduced by approximately $1,360,000, $1,247,000 and $895,000 at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively in order to record the estimated present value at the end of each year using an 8% interest factor for 1995 and 1994 and a 5% interest factor for 1993. During 1995, the Company amended its Insurance Plan from a 66 month to a 126 month claim payout. This amendment decreased the 1995 estimated insurance cost by approximately $1,360,000. During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company changed the present value discount factor which it applies to estimated accrued workers' compensation insurance claims liability from 5.0% to 8.0% to reflect a more current rate. This change in discount factor decreased the 1994 estimated insurance cost by approximately $400,000. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company changed the present value discount factor from 7.5% to 5.0% which had the effect of increasing the 1993 estimated insurance cost by approximately $375,000. It was actuarially estimated that the accrued workers' compensation insurance claims will principally be paid to the claimants within six years from the date of the incident. For general liability insurance, the Company records a reserve for the estimated ultimate amounts to be paid for known claims.
