PART I

    Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in the description of our business below and in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward-Looking Statements."

Item 1.  Business

General

    Over the past thirteen years PMR Corporation and its subsidiaries ("PMR," the "Company" or "we") has been a leader in the development and management of specialized mental health care programs and disease management services designed to treat individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness ("SMI"), primarily schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (i.e., manic-depressive illness). We currently manage, administer or provide consulting services for outpatient and community-based psychiatric services for SMI patients, consisting of two outpatient programs (the "Outpatient Programs") and two case management programs (the "Case Management Programs"). We refer to these programs in this document as "Health Services Programs".

    During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, we continued to focus on maximizing cash flow in the Health Services Programs and on reducing the number of Outpatient Programs managed by us, hence minimizing our exposure to the changing regulatory environment. The Outpatient Programs are heavily dependent on reimbursement by Medicare and Medicaid. The reduction in these services was the result of a management decision predicated on regulatory changes that (i) increased obstacles to the marketability of our services and (ii) increased costs of compliance with the regulatory environment.

    In addition, in September 1999, we organized InfoScriber® Corporation ("InfoScriber"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, with the intent to provide strategic health information for pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, managed care organizations, and health care providers. During the fiscal year 2001, we continued to develop our InfoScriber business segment. Although we have physicians utilizing the InfoScriber system, InfoScriber has generated no revenues and has incurred material negative cash flows during fiscal year 2001.

    On February 15, 2001, we announced our intention to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. We initially retained SunTrust Equitable Securities, and have now retained Raymond James and Associates, Inc. to assist us in evaluating the sale or merger of our health service operations, or the sale, merger, or strategic financing of InfoScriber. We also engaged the firm of McGettigan, Wick & Co. to assist in an advisory role. A principal of McGettigan, Wick & Co. serves on our Board of Directors. To date, we have been unable to identify a strategic alternative for InfoScriber that would maximize shareholder value. We, therefore, intend to materially reduce or eliminate the negative cash flow from InfoScriber by terminating its operations as soon as possible. See "InfoScriber".

    PMR was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1988. The operations of PMR include the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Psychiatric Management Resources, Inc., Collaborative Care Corporation and InfoScriber. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 501 Washington Street, 5th Floor, San Diego, California 92103. The Company's telephone number is (619) 610-4001.

Health Services Programs

    Outpatient Program Management Services.

    One aspect of our historical business is the provision of management, administrative and consulting services to acute care hospitals, psychiatric hospitals and community mental health centers ("CMHCs") with respect to their outpatient programs, specifically Outpatient Programs for patients diagnosed with SMI ("Outpatient Program Management Services"). We do not render any medical or clinical services in connection with our Outpatient Program Management Services; all of these services are provided by the hospitals, CMHCs, and their personnel.

    The Outpatient Programs that we currently manage or administer consist primarily of psychiatric partial hospitalization programs. In these programs, the patient is ambulatory, but requires intensive, coordinated clinical services for SMI. In general, these programs are an alternative to inpatient care. They involve patients in crisis or recovering from crisis who, thus, require more intensive clinical services than those generally available in a traditional outpatient setting.

    As a result of regulatory changes that (i) increased obstacles to the marketability of our services and (ii) increased costs of compliance with the regulatory environment, we undertook to review this aspect of our business. Following that review and through fiscal year 2001, contracts to furnish Outpatient Program Management Services to numerous Outpatient Programs, which we determined to be unprofitable or could not be successfully restructured, were terminated or expired without renewal.

    As of June 30, 2001, we manage or provide consulting services to two Outpatient Programs. These services are provided under a contract, which has a remaining term of three years, with an acute care hospital. This contract governs the method by which we provide consulting or management services, the responsibility of the hospital provider for licensure, billing, staff, insurance and the provision of health care services and the manner in which we will be compensated. At each program location, we provide a program administrator, proprietary software and data systems, policies and procedures, clinical protocols and curricula and other technical and administrative information that enhance the quality of care and the efficiency of administration of the program.

    This contract provides for payment of fees by the hospital based on the services that we provide, but may be renegotiated to a fixed fee. The hospital maintains responsibility for substantially all direct program costs under the contract.

    Historically, the costs incurred by the providers (hospitals or CMHCs) for our Outpatient Program Management Services have been recovered by the provider through reimbursement by third party payors, typically Medicare and Medicaid. In that regard, the providers submitted invoices to the third party payors or requests for reimbursement in accordance with the regulations applicable to the governmental programs. The changing regulatory environment in recent years has resulted in the denial by Medicare or its fiscal intermediaries of claims for patient services rendered by the provider with respect to our services and/or disallowance of reimbursement to the providers for portions of our fees. Under the terms of some of our terminated or expired contracts, as well as our current contract, we are required to indemnify the providers for some or all of our fees if the fees were disallowed by Medicare or its fiscal intermediaries, or if the claims associated with our fees for services rendered to patients were denied. In some instances, we are required to indemnify the hospital for certain of the hospital's direct costs if the claims associated with our fees for services rendered to patients were denied. For further information regarding this matter, see "Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources".

    The Outpatient Programs contributed revenues of $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, a decrease of $23.6 million, or 87.8%, as compared to fiscal year 2000. None of the Outpatient Programs that we administered during fiscal years 2001 and 2000 contributed more than 10% of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations for the respective years.

    Case Management Programs.

    We acquired the model for our Case Management Programs in 1993. That model, as refined by us since then, constitutes a proprietary system for managing, in a managed care environment, treatment, rehabilitation and support for a limited population of individuals diagnosed with SMI.

    Specifically, our Case Management Programs provide SMI patients with personalized, one-on-one services designed to stabilize their daily lives and to provide early intervention in crisis situations. In this fashion, our programs limit the incurrence of the costs related to catastrophic events leading to inpatient hospitalization. Each program utilizes a case manager whose responsibilities include consumer education, crisis plan development, crisis event response, patient needs assessment, review of patient treatment plans, linking patients to emergency services and reviewing and authorizing services. Depending upon the needs of the specific case management population and the varying markets, these services may include 24-hour case management, crisis intervention, respite services, housing assistance, medication management and routine health screening. In providing case management services, we do not provide medical or clinical services; such services are performed by the case management agencies with whom we contract.

    Our case management programs are located in and around Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee. In Tennessee, mental health care services for the Medicaid and qualified indigent population are provided under the Tennessee TennCare Partners State Medicaid Managed Care Program ("TennCare"). TennCare contracts with two behavioral health organizations ("BHO's") that are subsidiaries of Magellan Health Services, Inc. and who are at risk for the required services throughout the State of Tennessee. The BHO's in turn contract with various providers, including a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for the provision of services to TennCare enrollees. The contracts between TennCare and the BHO's expire on or about June 30, 2002 and it is unknown whether the contracts will be extended for an additional year or whether and how TennCare might initiate a bidding process for contracts after June 30, 2002, all of which creates uncertainty as to the future of the current arrangement. In general, we fulfill our contractual obligations to the BHO's pursuant to exclusive agreements with two case management agencies.

    The Nashville Case Management Program is administered pursuant to a management and affiliation agreement with the contracting case management agency. We are responsible for developing and implementing detailed operating protocols relating to training procedures, management information systems, utilization review, coordination of quality assurance, contract development and other management and administrative services, and the provision of mental health services. Pursuant to the terms of the management and affiliation agreement, we manage and operate the delivery of case management and other covered psychiatric services. The case management agency is, however, responsible for staff personnel and program facilities, and retains final discretionary authority to approve the related policy manual, staffing issues and overall program operations. The term of the Nashville management and affiliation agreement expires on April 30, 2002, and may only be terminated upon the occurrence of events such as (i) a loss of accreditation or other required licensing or regulatory qualifications, (ii) material breach by either party, (iii) certain legislative or administrative changes that may adversely affect the continued operation of the program and (iv) failure to achieve certain performance targets after designated notice and cure periods. Through the Nashville Case Management Program, we currently provide case management services in and around Nashville to approximately 4,000 individuals residing primarily in the Nashville area. We anticipate attempting to extend or renegotiate this agreement prior to its expiration.

    The Memphis Case Management Program is administered pursuant to a provider services agreement expiring on May 31, 2002 under which we provide billing, contract development, quality assurance and liaison services and allow the agency to utilize our protocols. We do not anticipate renewing or renegotiating this agreement.

    Case management contracts in Tennessee accounted for 82% and 34% of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations for fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2000, respectively.

    Competition.

    In general, the operation of psychiatric programs is characterized by intense competition. General, community and specialty providers, including national companies and their subsidiaries, provide many different health care programs and services. Many other companies engaged in the management of outpatient psychiatric programs compete with us for the establishment of affiliations with acute care providers. Many of these present and future competitors are substantially more established and have greater financial and other resources than we do. In addition, our current and potential providers may choose to manage mental health programs themselves rather than contract with us.

    There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with our present or future competitors, and any such inability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

InfoScriber

    The business objective of InfoScriber was to provide critical and strategic, disease-specific information to pharmaceutical companies, health services providers, managed care organizations and other health care organizations.

    Currently, we have agreements with approximately 500 physicians, psychiatric practices, and community mental health organizations to exclusively use the InfoScriber system for automating prescribing and improving their medication management systems. Approximately 200 physicians are presently utilizing the InfoScriber system.

    We, however, have not entered into any material contracts for the sale of data. As a result, InfoScriber has generated material negative cash flows during fiscal year 2001. Since February 2001, we have explored numerous strategic alternatives for InfoScriber, which involved the evaluation of and negotiations for the sale, merger, or strategic financing of InfoScriber, but have been unsuccessful. In order to materially reduce and/or eliminate the negative cash flow from InfoScriber, we intend to terminate its operations as soon as possible. We are in the process of evaluating the necessary steps to best accomplish this task. The Company will account for the disposition of InfoScriber as a discontinued operation in 2002, when the disposition plan is completed. However, in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, the Company has recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 a charge for impaired assets amounting to approximately $464,000.

Regulatory Matters

    Compliance With Medicare Guidelines; Reimbursement for Partial Hospitalization Programs

    With respect to our revenues derived from payments made by providers to us for Outpatient Program Management Services, we bill our fees to the provider as a purchased management, administrative and consultative support service. Substantially all of the patients admitted to these programs are eligible for Medicare coverage and thus, the providers rely upon payment from Medicare for the services. Many of the patients are also eligible for Medicaid payments.

    As discussed below, there are at least three factors that will affect the revenue received by hospitals for Outpatient Programs managed by us: (i) coverage of services by third party payors, principally Medicare, i.e., payors will not pay any amount unless the services are covered; (ii) the amounts paid by third party payors, principally Medicare, for covered services; and (iii) the amounts paid by patients or their secondary payors for "coinsurance". To the extent that a hospital deems

4


revenue for a program we managed to be inadequate, it may terminate its contract with us or not renew the contract. Similarly, we will not obtain new contracts for Outpatient Program Management Services if prospective customers do not believe that such programs will generate sufficient revenue.

    Medicare Coverage

    Medicare has published criteria limiting its coverage for partial hospitalization services to patients whose conditions are quite severe. The proper interpretation of Medicare's coverage criteria is often not clear. In addition, "intermediaries," or private contractors, who administer the Medicare program as contractors to the government, often interpret the Medicare coverage criteria in a very restrictive manner. Even when a patient should be found to meet the Medicare coverage, Medicare may deny coverage because the patient's condition was not documented adequately in the patient's medical record.

    Some adverse coverage determinations are made at the time the claim is presented. In such cases, Medicare does not pay for the services it deems not to be covered. In other instances, Medicare conducts coverage audits after claims have been paid. Often such audits are based on a sample of claims from a period, and the results of the sample are extrapolated to the universe of claims submitted for the entire period. In such instances, Medicare may demand repayment from the provider of several hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. Because the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services ("OIG") as well as the Health Care Financing Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services have both identified partial hospitalization services as having often been billed to and paid by Medicare even though the services did not meet Medicare's coverage criteria, we expect the frequency and intensity of coverage reviews and audits of partial hospitalization services to continue or even to increase in the future.

    Coverage denials can have a direct adverse impact on us since our current as well as some of our terminated contracts obligate us to refund to the provider fees paid to us, and in some instances certain of the hospital's direct costs, with respect to services for which coverage is denied. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

    Depending on the basis for the denial of coverage, the provider may be able to appeal the coverage denial. We have assisted providers in appealing coverage denials and have, to date, prevailed in many of the cases we have pursued, resulting in restoration of our fees previously not paid because of the denial. There can be no assurance that coverage denials for services managed by us will be overturned at that rate in the future. In addition, we do not undertake to appeal all services and may decide in the future not to pursue any such appeals. The appeal process can often extend for more than a year.

    Medicare Payment Rates for Covered Services

    On or about August 1, 2000, under a new Medicare payment formula called the outpatient prospective payment system, Medicare began paying a pre-established rate to providers for outpatient services. Under the new formula, Medicare pays $202.14 per day (adjusted up or down for differences in wages from area to area) of partial hospitalization service, assuming that the services meet Medicare's coverage criteria (see "—Medicare Coverage"). Medicare pays this amount regardless of whether it is more or less than a hospital's actual costs, although there is a three-year transition period during which hospitals whose aggregate costs for Medicare outpatients exceed the Medicare rates will receive some additional Medicare payments, but not up to the level of full costs. The Medicare rates for outpatient services should be updated annually, but in the past when Medicare has adjusted other rates similar to its new rates for hospital outpatient services, the updates have often been increases in amounts that were less than the increase in the "hospital market basket," i.e., the increase in costs of

5


items and services purchased by hospitals. In some instances, Medicare has reduced rates in the updating process.

    Patient Coinsurance, Medicaid Coverage of Medicare Coinsurance Amounts, and Medicare Allowable Bad Debts

    Although Medicare has established a rate for partial hospitalization services of $202.14 per day, Medicare will not pay that full amount to a hospital. It will deduct from that rate an amount for patient "coinsurance," or the amount that the patient is expected to pay. For partial hospitalization services, the national unadjusted patient coinsurance amount is approximately $48.17.

    Most of the patients receiving services in partial hospitalization programs managed by us are unable to pay the coinsurance amount. If such patients are also covered by Medicaid, the Medicaid program usually will not pay the Medicare coinsurance amount in states where we furnish Outpatient Program Management Services such as where our two existing programs are located. Thus, the Medicare coinsurance amount will go uncollected by the provider except to the extent that the provider is partially reimbursed that amount as a Medicare "bad debt" as described in the following paragraph.

    To the extent that neither a Medicare patient nor any secondary payor for that patient pays the Medicare coinsurance amount after a documented reasonable collection effort or the patient's indigence is documented, the provider is entitled to be paid 55 percent of this "bad debt" by Medicare. However, there are many instances when Medicare denies reimbursement for all or part of claimed bad debts for coinsurance on Medicare patients on grounds that the provider did not engage in a reasonable collection effort or that the provider failed to maintain adequate documentation of its collection effort or of the patient's indigence.

    Medicare Cost Reimbursement for Partial Hospitalization for Services Furnished Prior to Medicare's Outpatient Prospective Payment System

    Prior to the implementation of Medicare's outpatient prospective payment system, Medicare paid for partial hospitalization services on the basis of "reasonable cost," subject to coinsurance of 20 percent of the provider's charges. Medicare made interim payments to a provider based on an estimate of the provider's cost, and then made a final settlement based on an annual cost report filed by the provider. Providers claimed fees paid to us as part of their allowable costs for serving Medicare covered patients. Under the applicable Medicare principles of reimbursement, our fees should be allowed if they are "reasonable" and relate to covered services. Medicare's policy directs that generally the reasonableness of our fees should be evaluated by the market value of the services furnished by us. We believe that our fees are and have been fair market value for the services furnished. Nevertheless, there have been occasions when Medicare has disallowed a portion of our fees, and that may occur in the future as Medicare conducts audits of cost reports for periods through July 31, 2000 (or such time as cost reimbursement ends for hospital outpatient services). In some instances, we have a contractual obligation to repay a provider the amount of our fees, which are disallowed.

    Medicare Criteria for "Provider-Based" Sites

    In order for Medicare to cover partial hospitalization services, the services must be furnished by a hospital or a CMHC. In many instances, we have managed Outpatient Programs for a hospital or CMHC where the program has been conducted away from the main campus of the provider. Such services have been covered by Medicare as the provider's services on the basis that the site where the services were furnished was a "provider-based" site. In 1996, Medicare published a policy that defined more narrowly than prior practice what was a "provider-based" site. In April 2000, Medicare published a final regulation that further defined what is a "provider-based" site. As a result of the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000, facilities treated as provider-based as of October 1, 2000 shall continue to be treated as provider-based until October 1, 2002, the effective date of the April 2000 final regulation. In addition, the April 2000 final regulation specifies instances when there may be retrospective recoveries of amounts previously paid by Medicare if a determination is made that a site was not "provider-based."

6


    We believe that the sites we presently manage are provider-based within the meaning of the April 2000 final regulation, and we expect that our provider customers will obtain, or have obtained, determinations of such provider-based status from Medicare. However, it is possible that such sites will not obtain approval as provider-based sites or will lose such approval in the future. In such instances, there may be a loss of Medicare coverage for services furnished at that site and there may be a retrospective recovery by Medicare.

    There also is a risk that Medicare will determine that sites where we furnished Outpatient Program Management Services in the past were not provider-based. Such a determination would not necessarily trigger a demand for repayment from the provider since there is a "good faith" exception to demanding recoupment of amounts paid if the site: (i) was held out to the public as part of the provider; (ii) was part of the provider's licensed premises (if licensure was required); (iii) the provider billed Medicare a facility charge; and (iv) the physicians practicing at the site properly indicated the site of service on their bills to Medicare for professional services. We believe, but cannot assure, that the sites we managed met the good faith exception for retrospective recoveries. If a site managed by us in the past were found not to have been provider-based and the "good faith" exception not met, Medicare would demand repayment in full for the amounts it had paid for partial hospitalization services for all periods, which are subject to reopening at the time of the determination (generally the 5 preceding years, but it could be more in individual circumstances). If such demands were made upon providers that had contracted with us, it is possible that the providers would seek indemnity or damages from us. In some instances, it is possible that a court would interpret our contract with a provider as requiring us to indemnify the provider asserting such a claim.

    Compliance With Medicaid Regulations and Potential Changes

    We cannot predict the extent or scope of changes which may occur in the ways in which state Medicaid programs contract for and deliver services to Medicaid recipients. All Medicaid funding is generally conditioned upon financial appropriations to state Medicaid agencies by the state legislatures and there are political pressures on such legislatures in terms of controlling and reducing such appropriations. With respect to our Case Management Programs reimbursed by behavioral health organizations, the overall trend is generally to impose lower reimbursement rates including incentives to assume risk not only by licensed managed care organizations with whom state Medicaid agencies contract, but by subcontracted providers, such as us. Consequently, any significant reduction in funding for Medicaid programs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

    Some states may adopt substantial health care reform measures which could modify the manner in which all health services are delivered and reimbursed, especially with respect to Medicaid recipients and with respect to other individuals funded by public resources. The reduction in other public resources could have an impact upon the delivery of services to Medicaid recipients.

    Specific Licensing of Programs

    Our Outpatient Programs are operated as outpatient departments of providers, thus subjecting such programs to regulation by federal, state and local agencies. These regulations govern licensure and conduct of operations at the facilities, review of construction plans, addition of services and facilities and audit of cost allocations, cost reporting and capital expenditures. The facilities occupied by the programs must comply with the requirements of municipal building, health and fire codes. Inclusion of hospital space where the Outpatient Programs are furnished within the providers' license, when required under applicable state laws, is a prerequisite to participation in the Medicare programs. Additionally, the provider's premises and programs are subject to periodic inspection and recertification.

    False Claims Investigations and Enforcement of Health Care Fraud Laws

    The OIG, as well as other federal, state, and private organizations, are aggressively enforcing their interpretation of Medicare and Medicaid laws and policies, and other applicable standards. Often in such enforcement efforts, the government has relied on the Federal Civil False Claims Act ("False Claims Act"). Under that law, if the government prevails in a case, it is entitled to treble damages plus not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000 per claim, plus reasonable attorney fees and costs. In addition, a person found to have submitted false claims, or who caused the submission of false claims, can be excluded from governmental health care programs including Medicare and Medicaid. If a provider contracting with us were excluded from governmental health programs, no services furnished by that provider would be covered by any governmental health program. We could also be excluded from government health care programs if there were a finding that we had violated our obligations to those programs. If we were excluded, providers would as a practical matter, cease contracting for our Outpatient Program Management Services. If we were excluded from governmental health programs, providers contracting with us could not be reimbursed for amounts paid to us.

    To prevail in a False Claims Act case, the government need show only that a person submitted, or "caused" to be submitted, incorrect claims with "reckless disregard" or in "deliberate ignorance" of the applicable Medicare law. The government does not have to prove that the claims were submitted with the intent to defraud a governmental or private health care payor. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act permit individuals also to bring suits under the False Claims Act. The incentive for an individual to do so is that he or she will usually be entitled to approximately 15% to 30% of any ultimate recovery. Under the False Claims Act, the Department of Justice has successfully made demands on thousands of providers to settle alleged improper billing disputes at double alleged damages or more. Although we do not bill governmental programs directly, we could possibly be liable under the False Claims Act to the extent that we are found to have "caused" false claims to have been presented.

    There are many other civil and criminal statutes at the federal and state levels that may penalize conduct related to submitting false claims for health care services. The penalties under many of those statutes are severe, and the government often need not prove intent to defraud in order to prevail. Management believes that we are in material compliance with applicable regulatory and industry standards. However, in light of the complexity of the policies governing governmental health care programs together with changing and uncertain interpretations of those policies, it is impossible to be absolutely assured that the government (or a qui tam relator in the name of the government) will not assert that some of our conduct, or conduct by one of our customers, has given rise to a potentially large liability.

    In the past, there have been occasions when Medicare fiscal intermediaries have denied coverage for all or substantially all of the claims submitted by the providers where we had a management or administrative services contract. Such denials have occurred even though a physician has certified that the Outpatient Program services were medically necessary. Notwithstanding our ongoing efforts to assure that the Outpatient Program services furnished under contract are consistent with our understanding of the Medicare coverage criteria, it is possible that there will be future occasions when a substantial number of services furnished at a site managed by us will be denied coverage. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") grants the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services broad authority to impose civil monetary penalties on providers for certain activities. Among those activities are the repeated submission of claims for services which are not medically necessary. If there were again to be occasions when a Medicare fiscal intermediary denied a large number of claims for a site managed by us, it is possible that the government would seek sanctions from the provider and possibly from us. While we believe that it would be inappropriate for the government to seek such sanctions for services for which the coverage criteria are interpreted

8


differently at different times and which have been ordered by a physician, it is not clear at this time how the government will apply this new authority.

    Anti-Remuneration Laws

    Medicare and Medicaid law prohibits an entity from paying or receiving, subject to certain exceptions and "safe harbors," any remuneration to induce the referral of Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries, or the purchase or arranging for or recommending of the purchase of items or services that may receive payment under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federally-funded health care programs. Several states have similar laws, which are not limited to services for which Medicare or Medicaid payments are made. Sanctions for violating these federal and state anti-remuneration laws may include imprisonment, criminal and civil fines, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other applicable programs.

    The courts, OIG and administrative agencies interpret the federal anti-remuneration law broadly. Because of the federal statute's broad scope, the regulations establish certain safe harbors from liability. Some of our practices do not satisfy all of the requirements necessary to fall under the applicable safe harbor. A practice that does not fall under a safe harbor, although not necessarily unlawful, may be subject to scrutiny and challenge. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the legal requirements imposed by these laws and regulations, but there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under such laws or regulations. Such scrutiny or challenge may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

    Privacy and Confidentiality Legislation

    Most of our activities require us to receive or use confidential medical information about individual patients. In addition, we have used aggregated unidentified patient data for research and analysis purposes and with respect to our InfoScriber business. Federal and some state legislation restrict the use and disclosure of confidential medical information and the fact of treatment. There are specific requirements permitting disclosure, but inadequate or incorrect disclosure, even if inadvertent or negligent, can trigger substantial criminal and other penalties. To date, no such legislation has been enacted that adversely impacts our ability to provide our services.

    HIPAA requires the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") to promulgate standards for health information privacy and security, as well as develop standards for electronic health transactions. These HIPAA rules, referred to collectively as Administrative Simplification, apply only to those entities defined as covered entities (health plans, "clearinghouses," and those providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a standard transaction). HHS has published final regulations to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information, setting forth the rights of individuals who are the subject of protected health information, and establishing the permitted uses and disclosures of personally identifiable health information. The effective date of the privacy regulations for compliance purposes is April 14, 2003. HHS has also published standards for electronic transactions which are effective for compliance purposes on October 16, 2002. Additionally, HHS has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking titled "Security and Electronic Signature Standards" to protect the security of health information when it is electronically maintained or transmitted. It is unknown at this time when these security regulations will be finalized.

    In connection with case management services we may electronically conduct activities, such as transmitting health care claims or equivalent encounter data, that may be classified as standard transactions under HIPAA. Therefore, we may need to convert our systems to adapt to the required HIPAA format to accommodate any covered entity clients who are directly subject to HIPAA rules and regulations. Under HIPAA, covered entities are obligated to enter into contractual agreements with any

9


other entity to whom they disclose protected health information and obligate such entities to protect the privacy and security of health information. Accessing the protected health information of our covered entity clients may make us the business associates of covered entities, or it is feasible that in certain circumstances we may be considered covered entities ourselves. In either case, these HIPAA agreements may obligate us to install certain technical security protections and to establish new policies and procedures to insure the confidentiality and integrity of health information.

    The HHS Office of Civil Rights is the enforcement agency for HIPAA Administrative Simplification and may assess civil penalties which range from $100 to $25,000 per year for each violation of an identical requirement or prohibition of the standards, to civil and criminal penalties of up to $250,000 and 10 years of prision for wrongful disclosure of health information for commerical advantage, personal gain, or malicious harm. Additionally, there are various state laws governing the protection of medical information, including certain statutes which may provide enhanced protections for sensitive health information, such as mental health records. HIPAA's civil and criminal sanctions apply only to covered entities. To the extent that we are not considered a covered entity ourselves, our HIPAA liability under Administrative Simplification would be limited to any contractual agreements we make.

    The costs of conforming our systems to provide the privacy, security, and transaction standard conformance required by HIPAA Administrative Simplification and our covered entity customers may require substantial cost investment in our software, computers, policies and procedures, employee training, and other goods and services.

    Unlicensed Practice of Medicine

    Many states prohibit physicians from splitting fees with non-physicians and prohibit non-physician entities from practicing medicine. These laws vary from state to state and are interpreted by courts and regulatory agencies with broad discretion. We believe that our InfoScriber system and contractual arrangements for administrative and management services do not violate these laws. Our contractual arrangement and services, like InfoScriber, with some providers could possibly be challenged on the basis of being an alleged unlicensed practice of medicine, or the enforceability of provisions in that arrangement may be limited. In the event a regulatory authority limits or prohibits us or an affiliate from conducting our business, our contractual arrangements may require organizational modification or restructuring.

Insurance

    Mental health care and information services are always subject to the risk of liability. In recent years, participants in the mental health care industry have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits that allege malpractice or other related legal theories. These lawsuits often involve large claims and incur significant defense costs. We maintain liability insurance intended to cover such claims, which is renewable annually. We believe that our insurance coverage conforms to industry standards. There are no assurances, however, that our insurance will cover all claims (e.g., claims for punitive damages), or that claims in excess of our insurance coverage will not arise. A successful lawsuit against us that is not covered by, or is in excess of, our insurance coverage may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain liability insurance coverage on commercially reasonable terms in the future or that such insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential claims.

Employees

    As of July 20, 2001, we employed approximately 47 employees, of whom 38 are full-time employees. Approximately 21 employees staff the clinical programs and approximately 26 are in

10


corporate management including finance, accounting, development, utilization review, training and education, information systems, member services, human resources and legal areas. None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement and we believe that our employee relations are good.

Item 2.  Properties

    We own no real property. We currently lease and sublease approximately 22,000 square feet comprised of a lease for our corporate headquarters at 501 Washington Street, San Diego, California expiring on April 3, 2002, and other leases for office space for certain field employees, none of which extends beyond 2002. We carry property and liability insurance as required by lessors and sublessors. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our short-term needs. Leases and sub-leases, other than the short-term and month-to-month leases, generally provide for annual rental adjustments, which are either indexed to inflation or have been agreed upon, and typically provide for termination on not less than ninety (90) days' written notice.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

    From time to time, we have been involved in routine litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. There are currently no material pending litigation proceedings to which we are a party.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

    There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the more detailed information and consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this document. Except for historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "—Liquidity and Capital Resources", as well as those discussed elsewhere in this document.

Overview

    During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, we continued to focus on maximizing cash flow in the Health Services Programs and on reducing the number of Outpatient Programs managed by us, hence minimizing our exposure to the changing regulatory environment. The Outpatient Programs are heavily

15


dependent on reimbursement by Medicare and Medicaid. The reduction in these services was the result of a management decision predicated on regulatory changes that (i) increased obstacles to the marketability of our services and (ii) increased costs of compliance with the regulatory environment.

    On February 15, 2001, we announced our intention to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. We initially retained SunTrust Equitable Securities, and have now retained Raymond James and Associates, Inc. to assist us in evaluating the sale or merger of our health service operations, or the sale, merger, or strategic financing of InfoScriber. We also engaged the firm of McGettigan, Wick & Co. to assist in an advisory role. A principal of McGettigan, Wick & Co. serves on the Company's Board of Directors.

    In addition, the Company continued to develop its InfoScriber business segment. Currently, we have agreements with approximately 500 physicians, psychiatric practices, and community mental health organizations to exclusively use the InfoScriber system for automating prescribing and improving their medication management systems. Approximately 200 physicians are presently utilizing the InfoScriber system. We, however, have not entered into any material contracts for the sale of data. As a result, InfoScriber has generated material negative cash flows during fiscal year 2001. We intend to materially reduce or eliminate the negative cash flow from InfoScriber by terminating its operations as soon as possible. We are in the process of evaluating the necessary steps to best accomplish this task. The Company will account for the disposition of InfoScriber as a discontinued operation in 2002, when the disposition plan is completed. However, in accordance with SFAS No. 121, the Company has recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 a charge for impaired assets amounting to approximately $464,000.

    At April 30, 2001, the Company's cash and short-term investments totaled $17.8 million, as compared to $27.8 million at April 30, 2000. The decrease in cash and short-term investments resulted primarily from $6.1 million cash used related to InfoScriber, a cash dividend of $7.3 million, $0.4 million for furniture and equipment, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $3.8 million. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock payable on December 29, 2000 to stockholders of record on December 21, 2000. The total amount of the dividend was approximately $7.3 million.

Sources of revenue

    InfoScriber.

    Although the InfoScriber system is presently being utilized by approximately 200 physicians, InfoScriber has generated no revenues to date. We have not entered into any material contract for the sale of data generated by the InfoScriber system and we intend to terminate these operations as soon as possible.

    Outpatient Programs.

    We continue to manage or administer two Outpatient Programs with one acute care hospital. Although we are exploring strategic alternatives, including the sale or merger of our health services operations, we do not otherwise intend to continue to devote resources to develop additional Outpatient Programs. We expect that revenues from Outpatient Programs will decrease in fiscal year 2002 due to the likely restructuring of the existing contract.

16


    Revenues under the Outpatient Programs are recognized at estimated net realizable amounts when services are rendered based upon our contractual arrangement with the hospital. Under the terms of our current contract, as well as some of our terminated or expired contracts, we are required to indemnify the providers for some or all of our fees if the fees were disallowed by Medicare or its fiscal intermediaries, or if the claims associated with our fees for services rendered to patients were denied. In some instances, we are required to indemnify the hospital for certain of the hospital's direct costs if the claims associated with our fees for services rendered to patients were denied. As of April 30, 2001, we had recorded $4.2 million in contract settlement reserves to provide for an estimate of possible amounts ultimately owed to our provider customers resulting from disallowance of costs by Medicare and Medicare cost report settlement adjustments. Such reserves are classified as long-term liabilities because ultimate determination of substantially all of the potential contract disallowances is not anticipated to occur during the current fiscal year.

    Case Management Programs.

    For its Case Management Programs in Tennessee, the Company receives a monthly case rate fee from the managed care consortium responsible for managing TennCare. Revenue under the TennCare program is recognized in the period in which the related service is to be provided and may fluctuate based on rates set by the managed care consortium as well as level of patient enrollment.

Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2000

    Revenues.  Revenue from continuing operations decreased from $42.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 to $17.7 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, a decrease of $24.8 million, or (58.4%). The decrease was primarily due to the termination of numerous Outpatient Program contracts during fiscal year 2001. The Outpatient Programs recorded revenues of $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, a decrease of $23.6 million or (87.7%) as compared to fiscal year 2000. Case Management Program revenues remained relatively unchanged between fiscal years 2000 and 2001.

    Direct Operating Expenses.  Direct operating expenses from continuing operations consist of costs incurred at program sites and costs associated with field management responsible for administering the programs. Direct operating expenses decreased from $34.6 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 to $15.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, a decrease of $19.3 million, or (55.8%). As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses were 86.5%, slightly up from 81.5% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 as a result of lower revenues in fiscal year 2001.

    Research and Development.  The Company incurred, in fiscal year 2001, approximately $1.0 million in research and development costs related to the development of Version 2 of its InfoScriber medication management system. The Company will not incur significant additional research and development costs for InfoScriber in the future based upon the anticipated termination of the operations of InfoScriber.

    Marketing, General and Administrative.  Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 was relatively unchanged from that for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000.

    Provision for Doubtful Accounts.  Provision for doubtful accounts from continuing operations decreased from $5.1 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 to $700,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, a decrease of approximately $4.4 million or (86.3%). As a percentage of revenues, the provision for doubtful accounts decreased to 4.1% in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 from 12.1% in fiscal year 2000. The decrease was due to lower revenues in fiscal year 2001 and the additional reserves taken in fiscal year 2000 due to anticipated difficulties in the collection of receivables related to Outpatient Program locations closed throughout fiscal year 2000. We expect the allowance for non-collectible accounts to fluctuate based on the amount of claims from our Outpatient Programs under review and the number of Health Services Programs that we manage.

    Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $1.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 to $1.4 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, an increase of $400,000 or 40.0%. This increase was primarily due to the addition of computer equipment for InfoScriber and the change in estimate of useful life of certain assets related to the Case Management Program.

    Software Development Amortization.  Amortization of the InfoScriber medication management software commenced upon its completion and commercial release in August 2000. Research for and development of Version 2 of the software started immediately thereafter. Version 2 was expected to completely replace Version 1 and was anticipated to be technically feasible shortly after April 30, 2001. Accordingly, the Company amortized the total capitalized cost of Version 1 of approximately $2.8 million through April 30, 2001. Given the Company's plan to terminate the operations of its InfoScriber subsidiary, the Company does not intend to develop Version 2 of the software.

    Special Charge.  Special charges of approximately $1.2 million were recorded in fiscal year 2001 for lease termination costs, severance costs, and write-off of various assets related to closures of numerous Outpatient Program locations and the impairment charge incurred on InfoScriber's furniture,

18


equipment, and certain other current assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 121. The accruals for special charges included in the liabilities sections in the consolidated balance sheets at April 30, 2001 and 2000 were $265,000 and $376,000, respectively.

    Net Interest Income.  Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased from $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 to $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, a decrease of $200,000 or (13.3%). This decrease resulted from lower interest bearing cash, cash equivalent, and short-term investment balances primarily due to the negative cash flow from InfoScriber and a $7.3 million cash dividend payment at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2001.

    Loss Before Income Taxes and Cumulative Change.  For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, the Company's loss before income taxes was $11.7 million versus a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $6.8 million in fiscal year 2000, a $4.9 million increase or 72.1%. The increase in loss was due primarily to program closures in fiscal year 2001, as well as operating, research and development, restructuring charges, and general and administrative costs incurred for InfoScriber during fiscal year 2001.

    Income Tax (Benefit) Expense.  The income tax benefit of $929,000 in fiscal year 2001 is related to the federal and various state tax refunds recognized for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000. Income tax expense for fiscal year 2000 was $4.9 million as a result of establishing a non-cash valuation allowance to fully reserve for deferred tax assets in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The valuation allowance was recognized in fiscal year 2000 because realization of the deferred tax assets was uncertain in light of the changes in the Company's core business and associated business risks, including an unproven history of earnings in InfoScriber. The Company continued to fully reserve for its tax assets in fiscal year 2001.

    Results from Discontinued Operation.  In the third quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company sold substantially all of its interest in Stadt Solutions. The transaction, which eliminated the Company's ownership interest, resulted in cash proceeds of $3.3 million and a gain of $664,000, net of operating losses related to Stadt Solutions during fiscal year 2000. There were no discontinued operations in fiscal year 2001.

Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 1999

    Revenues.  Revenue from continuing operations decreased from $55.8 million for the year ended April 30, 1999 to $42.5 million for the year ended April 30, 2000, a decrease of $13.3 million, or (23.8%). The decrease was primarily due to the termination and restructuring of numerous Outpatient Program contracts during fiscal year 2000. The Outpatient Programs recorded revenues of $26.9 million for the year ended April 30, 2000, a decrease of $16.8 million or (38.4%) as compared to fiscal year 1999. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by a $3.8 million or 36.2% increase in Case Management Program revenues. The increase in Case Management Program revenues from $10.5 million in fiscal year 1999 to $14.3 million in fiscal year 2000 was due to a corresponding increase in patient enrollment during the year.

    Direct Operating Expenses.  Direct operating expenses from continuing operations consist of costs incurred at program sites and costs associated with field management responsible for administering the programs. Direct operating expenses decreased from $38.6 million for the year ended April 30, 1999 to $34.6 million for the year ended April 30, 2000, a decrease of $4.0 million, or (10.4%). As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses were 81.5%, up from 69.1% for the year ended April 30, 1999. Deterioration in the overall expense ratio for continuing operations was primarily due to the decrease in Outpatient Program business, which historically has had a lower expense ratio than the other business segments. Case Management revenues as a percentage of total revenues from continuing operations increased to 33.6% in fiscal year 2000 from 18.9% in the preceding year. Moreover, direct

19


operating expenses for Case Management as a percentage of Case Management revenues was 88% for both fiscal years 2000 and 1999, a rate materially higher than the 72% and 67% expense ratios for Outpatient Programs in fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    Marketing, General and Administrative.  Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased from $11.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 to $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, a decrease of $2.4 million, or (21.8%). This 21.8% decrease is consistent with the aforementioned 23.8% decrease in revenues from continuing operations. Marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained constant at approximately 20% for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2000 and 1999. However, included in marketing, general and administrative expenses are costs of approximately $1.3 million for development of InfoScriber and the recognition of approximately $200,000 in non-cash stock compensation expense for key employees and contractors in fiscal year 2000.

    Provision for Doubtful Accounts.  Provision for doubtful accounts from continuing operations increased from $4.4 million for the year ended April 30, 1999 to $5.1 million for the year ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $700,000 or 15.9%. As a percentage of revenues, the provision for doubtful accounts increased to 12.1% in the year ended April 30, 2000 from 7.9% in fiscal year 1999. The increase was due to anticipated difficulties associated with collection of receivables relating to Outpatient Program locations closed throughout fiscal year 2000. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company incurred charges of $3.0 million for additional reserves needed to write down receivables primarily related to closed Outpatient Programs. We expect the allowance for non-collectible accounts to fluctuate based on the amount of claims from our Outpatient Programs under review and the number of Health Services Programs that we manage.

    Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $1.1 million for the year ended April 30, 1999 to $1.0 million for the year ended April 30, 2000, a decrease of $100,000 or (9.1%). This slight decrease was due to the disposal and write-off of assets as a result of termination and restructure of several Outpatient Program contracts.

    Acquisition Expense.  Acquisition expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 consists of legal, advisory, accounting, consulting, and other costs previously capitalized related to the terminated definitive merger agreement with Behavioral Health Corporation. There were no acquisition expenses recorded in fiscal year 2000.

    Special Charge (Credit).  Special charges of $1.4 million were recorded in fiscal year 2000 for lease termination costs, severance costs, and write-off of various assets related to closures of numerous Outpatient Program locations during the year. As of April 30, 2000, the accrual for special charges included in the liabilities section in the consolidated balance sheet was $376,000. A special credit of $300,000 was recognized in fiscal year 1999 primarily due to a favorable settlement of disputes with a provider.

    Net Interest Income.  Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased from $1.6 million for the year ended April 30, 1999 to $1.5 million for the year ended April 30, 2000, a decrease of $100,000 or 6.3%. This decrease resulted from lower interest bearing cash, cash equivalent, and short-term investment balances due to a $10.6 million cash dividend payment at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2000.

    Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes and Cumulative Change.  For the year ended April 30, 2000, the Company's loss from continuing operations before income taxes and cumulative change was $6.8 million versus net income before income taxes of $926,000 in fiscal year 1999. The decrease in profitability was due primarily to losses incurred relating to program closures in fiscal year 2000 as well

20


as general and administrative costs incurred during fiscal year 2000 for the establishment and development of the InfoScriber subsidiary.

    Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense increased from $400,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 to $4.9 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $4.5 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company established a non-cash valuation allowance of $9.2 million to fully reserve for its deferred tax assets in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The valuation allowance was recognized in fiscal year 2000 because realization of the deferred tax assets is now uncertain due primarily to changes in the Company's core business and associated business risks, including an unproven history of earnings in the new business segment. The increase in income tax expense as compared to the prior year resulted primarily from the establishment of this reserve.

    Cumulative Change.  The cumulative change of $593,000 in fiscal year 1999 represents the effect, net of income tax benefit of $411,000, of writing off previously capitalized start-up costs. The Company adopted this change in accounting principle consistent with the requirements of Accounting Standards Executive Committee's Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on Costs of Start-up Activities. There were no cumulative changes in fiscal year 2000.

    Results from Discontinued Operation.  In the third quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company sold substantially all of its interest in Stadt Solutions. The transaction, which eliminated the Company's ownership interest, resulted in cash proceeds of $3.3 million and a gain of $664,000, net of operating losses related to Stadt Solutions during fiscal year 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, net cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $7.5 million in fiscal year 2000. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increased expenses for InfoScriber and reduced collection of receivables from closed Outpatient Program sites. At April 30, 2001, the Company's cash and short-term investments totaled $17.8 million, as compared to $27.8 million at April 30, 2000. The decrease in cash and short-term investments resulted primarily from $6.1 million cash used related to InfoScriber, a cash dividend of $7.3 million, $0.4 million for furniture and equipment, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $3.8 million. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Board of Directors approved the payment of special cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock to stockholders of record on December 21, 2000. The total amount of the dividend, which was paid on December 29, 2000 for 7,255,017 shares of common stock was $7.3 million.

    Working capital at April 30, 2001 was $15.4 million, a decrease of $14.5 million, or (48.5%), as compared to working capital of $29.9 million at April 30, 2000. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at April 30, 2001 were $17.8 million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or (36.0%) as compared to $27.8 million at April 30, 2000. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the decrease in cash and investments. Working capital is anticipated to improve during fiscal year 2002 as a result of the Company's intention to materially reduce or eliminate the negative cash flow from InfoScriber by terminating its operations as soon as possible. The Company will account for the disposition of InfoScriber as a discontinued operation in 2002, when the disposition plan is completed. Actual cash usage may fluctuate and vary depending upon PMR's success in executing strategic alternatives or based on further changes in the Company's Outpatient Programs and Case Management Programs. The Company also anticipates using working capital and, if necessary, incurring indebtedness in connection with selective acquisitions.

    Additionally, the Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 15% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Purchased shares will be used for corporate purposes including issuance

21


under PMR's stock compensation plans. The purchases will be made from time to time in open market transactions. During fiscal year 2001, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.75 per share or $27,500 in open market transactions. All shares repurchased are held in treasury.

    We maintain reserves to cover the potential impact of two significant uncertainties: (i) the Company may have an obligation to indemnify certain providers for some portions of its management fee which may be subject to disallowance upon audit of a provider's cost report by fiscal intermediaries; and (ii) the Company may not receive full payment of the management fees owed to it by a provider during the periodic review of the provider's claims by the fiscal intermediaries.

    From time to time, we recognize charges to operations as a result of particular uncertainties associated with the health care reimbursement rules as they apply to the Outpatient Programs. During fiscal years 2000 and 2001, a significant amount of the Company's revenue was derived from the management of the Outpatient Programs. Since substantially all of the patients of the Outpatient Programs are eligible for Medicare, collection of a significant component of the Company's management fees is dependent upon reimbursement of claims submitted to fiscal intermediaries by the hospitals or CMHCs on whose behalf these programs are managed. Certain of our contracts with providers contain warranty obligations that require us to indemnify such providers for the portion of our management fees disallowed for reimbursement by Medicare's fiscal intermediaries. As of April 30, 2001, we had recorded $4.2 million in contract settlement reserves to provide for such indemnity obligations. These reserves have been classified as long-term liabilities because the ultimate determination of substantially all of the potential contract disallowances is not anticipated to occur during fiscal year 2002. Although we believe that our potential liability to satisfy such requirements has been adequately reserved in the financial statements, there can be no assurance that the amount of fees disallowed will not be greater than the amount of such reserves. Also, the obligation to pay such amounts, if and when they become due, could have a material adverse effect on our short-term liquidity. Certain factors are, in management's view, likely to lessen the impact of any such effect, including the expectations that (i) if claims arise, they will arise on a periodic basis over several years and (ii) any disallowance may be offset against obligations already owed by the provider to us.

    In addition, we have been advised by the Health Care Financing Administration that certain program-related costs are not allowable for reimbursement. Thus, we may be responsible for reimbursement of the amounts previously paid to us that are disallowed pursuant to obligations that exist with certain providers. Although we believe that the potential liability to satisfy such requirements has been adequately reserved in the financial statements, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate. The obligation to pay the amounts estimated within the financial statements (or such greater amounts as are due), if and when they become due, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

    Previously, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank permitting borrowings for working capital needs of up to a specified level. The Company did not pursue renewal of this agreement and it expired on October 31, 2000.

    Management believes the Company has the financial resources needed to meet its business requirements in the foreseeable future. It is management's opinion that operating cash flows and the Company's cash reserves will be sufficient to meet these commitments; however, periodic assessments will be made based on industry and other conditions. In addition, we may, from time to time, use working capital, issue debt or equity securities, or a combination thereof, to finance selective acquisitions of assets or businesses, or for general corporate purposes. We are currently exploring strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value, including the sale or merger of our health service operations. Our ability to effect any such alternatives will be dependent on our results of operations, our current financial condition, current market conditions, and other factors beyond our control.

22


Impact of Inflation

    A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is subject to reimbursement rates that are regulated by the federal and state governments and that do not automatically adjust for inflation. As a result, increased operating costs due to inflation, such as labor and supply costs, without a corresponding increase in reimbursement rates, may adversely affect the Company's earnings in the future.

Forward-Looking Statements

    In this document, we make forward-looking statements that include assumptions as to how our Company may perform in the future. You will find many of these statements in the following sections:

    "Business" beginning on page 1; and

    "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on page 15.

Also, when we use words like "may," "may not," "believes," "does not believe," "expects," "does not expect," "anticipates," "does not anticipate" and similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should be viewed with caution.

    As provided by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may affect our actual results of operations. Statements in this document that are forward-looking and that provide other than historical information involve those risks and uncertainties. Our forward-looking information reflects our best judgement based on current information. Forward-looking information involves, however, a number of risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of our forward-looking information. While it is not possible to identify all these factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those forward-looking statements, including our ability to:

    generate acceptance and use of our services;

    protect our intellectual property rights;

    respond to competition in our industry;

    ensure confidential information is not inappropriately disclosed and that we are in compliance with federal and state health information privacy standards;

    comply with federal and state governmental regulation covering healthcare-related products and services on-line, including the regulation of medical devices and the practice of medicine and pharmacology;

    assist providers in meeting the Health Care Financing Administration's requirements to ensure reimbursement for services performed;

    comply with federal and state anti-remuneration laws prohibiting the granting or receiving of remuneration in connection with services that are reimbursable under federal Medicare and Medicaid programs and other reimbursement programs;

    respond to changes in Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental regulations regarding alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies;

    maintain significant existing reserves to cover reimbursement risks posed by the indemnification of certain providers and the reduction of outstanding fee amounts;

23


    successfully integrate operations and technologies from any acquisitions, joint ventures or other business combinations or investments;

    maintain liability insurance coverage on commercially reasonable terms to ensure adequate coverage against potential claims; and

    attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

    In addition, future trends for pricing, margins, revenues and profitability remain difficult to predict in the industries that we serve.

    Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

    The information included in this Item 7A is considered to constitute "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the statutory safe harbor provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward-Looking Statements".

Interest Rate Sensitivity

    Our financial instruments include our equipment note payable and investments in debt securities, including U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Our equipment note payable, due in November 2002, has an effective interest rate of 8.36 percent and we had approximately $188,000 outstanding under this note at April 30, 2001.

    At April 30, 2001, the fair market value of our investment in debt securities was approximately $4.1 million, which includes an unrealized holding gain of approximately $50,000. These securities bear interest rates ranging from 4.57 percent to 7.55 percent and are generally short-term and readily marketable.

    We do not and have not used derivative financial instruments for any purpose, including hedging or mitigating interest rate risk, and we believe the fluctuation in the fair value of our investments in debt securities due to interest rate sensitivity is temporary in nature. This determination was based on the marketability of the instruments, our ability to retain our investment in the instruments, past market movements and reasonably possible, near-term market movements. Therefore, we do not believe that potential, near-term losses in future earnings, fair values, or cash flows from changes in interest rates are likely to be material.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

    We do not currently have financial instruments that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
PMR Corporation

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PMR Corporation as of April 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at item 14(a). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PMR Corporation at April 30, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

PMR CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization, Business and Principles of Consolidation

PMR Corporation ("the Company"), operates a health services business. Over the past thirteen years, the Company has been a leader in the development and management of specialized mental health care programs and disease management services designed to treat individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness ("SMI"), primarily schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder (i.e., manic-depressive illness). The Company manages, administers, or provides consulting services for a range of outpatient and community-based psychiatric programs for SMI patients consisting of outpatient programs and case management programs. In fiscal year 2000, the Company launched a health information business through InfoScriber Corporation ("InfoScriber"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, whose mission was to become a strategic health information company that would provide critical disease-specific information to pharmaceutical companies, providers, managed care organizations, and other health care organizations.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMR Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Psychiatric Management Resources, Inc., Collaborative Care Corporation and InfoScriber Corporation. The Company accounted for its consolidation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries. All inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not consolidate any of the organizations it manages as it does not have operating control as defined in Emerging Issues Task Force Statement No. 97-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Practice Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual Management Arrangements (EITF 97-2).

On February 15, 2001, the Company announced its intention to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The Company initially retained SunTrust Equitable Securities, and has now retained Raymond James and Associates, Inc. to assist the Company in evaluating the sale or merger of its health service operations, or the sale, merger, or strategic financing of InfoScriber. The Company also engaged the firm of McGettigan, Wick & Co. to assist in an advisory role. A principal of McGettigan, Wick & Co. serves on the Company's Board of Directors; see Note 16 for related party disclosure. Moreover, the Company has not entered into any material contracts for the sale of data of InfoScriber resulting in negative cash flow for InfoScriber during fiscal year 2001.

Recent Operating Results and Liquidity

The Company experienced significant losses in fiscal years 2001 and 2000. These losses have reduced the Company's equity position at April 30, 2001. Management of the Company has undertaken significant changes to its business and operations including reducing the number of Outpatient Programs managed and exiting the InfoScriber business (see Note 17).

Although there can be no assurances, management believes that the Company has the financial resources needed to meet its liquidity needs throughout fiscal year 2002.

Legislation, Regulations and Market Conditions

The Company is subject to federal, state and local government regulation relating to licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of facilities, expansion of facilities and services, and reimbursement for services. As such, in the ordinary course of business, the Company's operations are continuously subject

F–6


to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits, and surveys, some of which may be non-routine. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. However, if the Company is ever found to have engaged in improper practices, it could be subjected to civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties, or restitutionary relief.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company grants credit to contracting providers in various states without collateral. At April 30, 2001, the Company has net current and long term receivables aggregating approximately $1.0 million from two providers, each of which comprise more than 10% of total net consolidated receivables. The Company monitors the credit worthiness of these customers and believes the balances outstanding, net of allowances at April 30, 2001, are fully collectible.

Substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held at five financial institutions. The Company monitors the financial status of these banks and does not believe the deposits are subject to a significant degree of risk.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's significant accounting estimates are the allowance for doubtful accounts and the contract settlement reserve.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities, when acquired, of three months or less. Investments with original maturities of three months or less that were classified as cash equivalents totaled approximately $4.2 million and $544,000 as of April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Short-Term Investments

Marketable equity securities and debt securities are classified as available-for-sale because management has the intent and ability to sell the securities prior to maturity for use in current operations. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, which approximates cost, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization along with realized gains and losses, interest and dividends are included in interest income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Dividend Paid on Common Stock

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $7,255,017, or $1.00 per share of common stock, payable to stockholders of record on December 21, 2000. In fiscal year 2000, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $10,580,534, or $1.50 per share of common stock, payable to stockholders of record on January 26, 2000. No dividends were paid in fiscal year 1999.

F–7


Earnings per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share by entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity. The Company has calculated its earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 for all periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Revenue Recognition and Contract Settlement Reserve

The Outpatient Programs that the Company currently manages or administers consist primarily of psychiatric partial hospitalization programs. In these programs, the patient is ambulatory, but requires intensive, coordinated clinical services for SMI. In general, these programs are an alternative to inpatient care. They involve patients in crisis or recovering from crisis who, thus, require more intensive clinical services than those generally available in a traditional outpatient setting. Presently, the Company's Outpatient Program Management Services are provided under a contract, which has a remaining term of three years, with an acute care hospital. This contract governs the method by which the Company provides consulting or management services, the responsibility of the hospital provider for licensure, billing, staff, insurance and the provision of health care services and the manner in which the Company will be compensated. Typically, the Company provides a program administrator or consultant, proprietary software and data systems, policies and procedures, clinical protocols and curricula and other technical and administrative information that enhance the quality of care and the efficiency of administration of the program. This contract provides for payment of fees by the hospital based on the services that the Company provides, but may be renegotiated to a fixed fee. The hospital maintains responsibility for substantially all direct program costs under these contracts.

The Company has been retained to manage and provide the outpatient psychiatric portion of a managed health care program funded by the State of Tennessee ("TennCare"). Under the terms of its agreements, the Company receives a monthly case rate payment from the managed care consortium responsible for managing the TennCare program, and is responsible for planning, coordinating and managing psychiatric case management to residents of Tennessee who are eligible to participate in the TennCare program using the proprietary treatment programs developed by the Company. The Company offers its case management services through long-term exclusive management agreements with leading independent providers for case management services. Pursuant to those agreements, the Company contributes its proprietary protocols and management expertise and, when necessary,

F–8


negotiates case management rates and contracts on behalf of the Providers. The Company may also provide training, management information systems support, and accounting and fiscal services. Presently, the Company has agreements with two case management agencies in Tennessee. Revenue under this program was approximately $14,417,000, $14,299,000, and $10,534,000, for the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

The Company does not employ or bill for any services rendered by psychiatrists or other professionals whose patients are enrolled in the programs managed by the Company.

Revenue under the acute outpatient psychiatric programs is recognized when services are rendered based upon contractual arrangements with providers at the estimated net realizable amounts. Under certain management contracts, the Company is obligated under warranty provisions to indemnify the Providers for all or some portions of the Company's management fees that may be disallowed as reimbursable to the Providers by Medicare's fiscal intermediaries. The Company has recorded contract settlement reserves to provide for possible amounts ultimately owed to its Providers resulting from disallowance of costs by Medicare and Medicare cost report settlement adjustments. Such reserve is classified as a non-current liability in the accompanying balance sheets as ultimate resolution of substantially all of these issues is not expected to occur during fiscal year 2002. Disallowance of costs by Medicare are pertinent only for services rendered through September 30, 2000 inasmuch as the Medicare program converted to the prospective payment methodology for the reimbursement of outpatient services effective October 1, 2000. Under provisions of the indemnification clause of the Company's management contracts, the Company indemnified providers approximately $1,240,000 and $2,874,000 for the years ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company was not required to indemnify any provider during fiscal 1999.

The Company completed the sale of its Chemical Dependency Programs to a private company in fiscal year 2000. The transaction resulted in an immaterial net gain on sale for the Company. Revenues from the Chemical Dependency Programs were approximately $700,000 and $1.1 million in fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Stadt Solutions LLC ("Stadt Solutions") recorded pharmaceutical revenue when the product was sold to customers at pharmacies, net of any estimated contractual allowances. A substantial portion of the net revenue for Stadt Solutions was derived directly from customers insured under Medicaid or other government-sponsored health care programs. The Company sold substantially all of its interest in Stadt Solutions in fiscal year 2000. Activity related to Stadt Solutions is presented in the Company's financial statements and footnotes as a discontinued operation for all fiscal years (see Note 2).

Insurance

The Company carries "occurrence basis" insurance to cover general liability, property damage and workers' compensation risks. Medical professional liability risk is covered by a "claims made" insurance policy that provides for guaranteed tail coverage. Loss reserves for incurred by not reported medical professional liability claims are not material.

Stock Options

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), establishes the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the grant date, and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the purchase price of restricted stock or the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals or exceeds the fair value of the

F–9


underlying stock on the date of issuance or grant, no compensation expense is recognized. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company has presented pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires that all components of comprehensive income, including net income, be reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity.

Change in Accounting Principle

In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on Costs of Start-up Activities (SOP 98-5) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-5 requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. In addition, all start-up costs and organization costs previously capitalized must be written off. Initial application of SOP 98-5 is reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In fiscal year 1999, the Company incurred a charge of $593,000 representing the effect, net of income tax benefits of $411,000, of writing off previously capitalized start-up costs.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 and 2000 financial statements to make them comparable to the presentation of the fiscal year 2001 financial statements.

2.  Discontinued Operation

During fiscal year 2000, the Company sold substantially all of its interest in Stadt Solutions, a majority owned subsidiary owned partially by Stadt Holdings (formerly Stadtlander Drug Distribution Co., Inc.). Stadt Solutions comprised the Company's entire pharmaceutical segment. The transaction, which effected the sale of the Company's ownership interest in Stadt Solutions, resulted in cash proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and a gain of approximately $664,000, net of fiscal year 2000 operating losses. The operating results of the discontinued operation are summarized as follows:

 
  Years Ended April 30,
 
 
  2000
  1999
 
Net revenue   $ 26,878,254   $ 29,666,887  
   
 
 
Loss before minority interest and income tax benefit     (2,773,570 )   (1,356,170 )
Minority interest     1,384,011     676,729  
   
 
 
Loss before income tax benefit     (1,389,559 )   (679,441 )
Income tax benefit         278,571  
   
 
 
Net loss   $ (1,389,559 ) $ (400,870 )
   
 
 

Net current assets and net long-term liabilities of the discontinued operation have been reported as a separate component of the consolidated balance sheets for all years presented. Net results of operation for the discontinued operation have been reported as a separate component of the consolidated statements of operations for all years presented. There were no discontinued operations during fiscal year 2001.

F–10


3.  Investments

The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities, stated at fair value:

 
  April 30,
 
  2001
  2000
U.S. government securities   $ 3,876,999   $ 17,477,803
Commercial paper     252,365     502,188
Certificate of deposit         599,763
   
 
Total debt securities   $ 4,129,364   $ 18,579,754
   
 

At April 30, 2001, all investments contain contractual maturities of two years or less. The balance sheet classification as short-term available-for-sale securities is based on management's intentions rather than actual maturity dates. Therefore, classification of these securities may differ from stated maturities. As management has the ability and intent to sell these available-for-sale securities prior to maturity and views the portfolio as available for use in current operations, the investments are classified as current at April 30, 2001. Unrealized holding gains, reported as other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130 (see Note 1), totaled $50,000 at April 30, 2001 and unrealized losses at April 30, 2000 were $154,000.

4.  Capitalized Software Development

The Company records capitalized software development costs in accordance with FASB Statement No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and related interpretations. Capitalized software development costs consist primarily of consulting fees and salaries and benefits for in-house programmers incurred by the newly established InfoScriber subsidiary. Amortization commenced upon completion and commercial release of the software in August 2000. Research for and development of Version 2 of the InfoScriber medication management software started immediately after completion of Version 1. Version 2 was expected to completely replace Version 1 and was anticipated to be technically feasible shortly after April 30, 2001. Accordingly, the Company amortized the total capitalized cost of Version 1 of approximately $2.8 million through April 30, 2001. Given the Company's plan to terminate the operations of its InfoScriber subsidiary (see Note 17), the Company does not plan to develop Version 2 of the software.

5.  Long Term Receivables

Long-term receivables consist primarily of amounts due from contracting providers for which the Company has established specific payment terms for receivable amounts which were previously past due or for which payment, due to contract terms, is expected to exceed one year. Management expects to receive payment on long-term receivables as contract terms are met, none of which are expected to exceed two years. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established to state long-term receivables at their estimated net realizable value.

F–11


6.  Furniture and Office Equipment

Furniture and office equipment consist of the following at April 30:

 
  2001
  2000
 
Furniture and equipment   $ 2,857,193   $ 3,389,337  
Leasehold improvements     285,448     551,307  
   
 
 
      3,142,641     3,940,644  
Accumulated depreciation     (2,399,887 )   (1,769,815 )
   
 
 
    $ 742,754   $ 2,170,829  
   
 
 

Furniture and office equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method over terms of three to five years. Depreciation expense from continuing operations was approximately $1,173,000, $898,000, and $750,000 for the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

7.  Other Assets

Other assets consist of the following at April 30:

 
  2001
  2000
 
Proprietary information and covenants not to compete   $ 225,000   $ 862,503  
Intangible assets         45,403  
Other     227,197     316,442  
   
 
 
      452,197     1,224,348  
Amortization     (364,162 )   (914,963 )
   
 
 
    $ 88,035   $ 309,385  
   
 
 

Other assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of proprietary information and covenants not to compete is five to ten years. Amortization expense from continuing operations was approximately $189,000, $112,000, and $358,000 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

8.  Borrowings

Line of Credit

Previously, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank permitting borrowing for working capital needs of up to a specified level. The Company did not pursue renewal of this agreement and it expired on October 31, 2000.

Equipment Note Payable

The Company has a promissory note for the purchase of office furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The note is collateralized by all assets acquired with proceeds from the loan. The note matures in November 2002 and requires principal and interest payments due monthly with interest accruing at 8.36%. The balance outstanding under this note was approximately $188,000 and $294,000 at April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

F–12


9.  Stock Options and Warrants

The Company's 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1997 Plan") provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees. Under the 1997 Plan, options may be granted for terms of up to ten years and are generally exercisable in cumulative annual increments of 20% each year, commencing one year after the date of grant. The 1997 Plan also provides for the full vesting of all outstanding options under certain change of control events. Option prices must equal or exceed the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant. The termination date of the 1997 Plan is October 6, 2008.

The Company has a non-qualified stock option plan for its outside directors (the "1992 Plan"). The 1992 Plan provides for the Company to grant each outside director options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock annually at the fair market value at the date of grant. Options for a maximum of 525,000 shares may be granted under this plan. The options vest 30% immediately and in ratable annual increments over the three-year period following the date of grant. In 1997, the Board of Directors amended the 1992 Plan to provide for full vesting of all outstanding options under certain change of control events.

During fiscal year 2000, the Company recognized $142,500 compensation expense related to stock options issued to certain officers with exercise prices below fair market value.

Warrants

In September 1995, the Company granted rights to earn up to 50,000 warrants to a case management agency in connection with a Management and Affiliation Agreement. The warrants may be earned in each of the five years beginning May 1997 only if certain financial performance criteria are met. The exercise price is equal to the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the ten day period prior to April 30 for the year in which the warrants are earned. As of April 30, 2001, no warrants were earned under the agreement. Rights to earn 40,000 of the warrants were expired at April 30, 2001.

In November 1996, the Company granted warrants to purchase a total of 30,000 shares of common stock to the case management agency discussed above. The warrants are exercisable in increments of 5,000 shares per year for six years beginning May 1997. The exercise price is equal to the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the ten day period prior to April 30 for the covered year. As of April 30, 2001, warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's stock were outstanding at prices ranging from $3.84 to $19.19. The warrants expire in September 2002.

In 1996 and 1997, warrants to purchase 53,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to brokers in connection with certain financing transactions. The exercise price of the warrants was $2.50. The warrants expired in October 1999 before any were exercised.

In March 2000, warrants to purchase 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to an outside party at an exercise price of $4.50. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire in March 2005. None of the warrants were exercised as of April 30, 2001.

In March 2000, the Company granted rights to an outside party to earn up to 10,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $4.938. The warrants are earned only if certain criteria are met by the outside party. Upon being earned, the warrants are exercisable at a rate of 33.3% on the first day of the calendar quarter following each of the first, second and third anniversary of their respective effective dates. The warrants expire the earlier of five years from the date of grant or on the date the Membership Agreement with the outside party is terminated. As of April 30, 2001, warrants to purchase 500 shares of the Company's stock were outstanding under this agreement and none were exercised.

In April 2000, the Company granted rights to an outside party to earn up to 60,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $3.50. The warrants expired in April 2001 before any were exercised.

At April 30, 2001, the Company had federal and state tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $20,412,000 and $13,132,000, respectively. The federal and state tax loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2019 and 2004, respectively, unless previously utilized.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance has been recognized in fiscal years 2001 and 2000 as realization of such assets is uncertain due primarily to changes in the Company's core business and associated business risks, including an unproven history of earnings in the new business segment.

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at April 30 are as follows:

16. Related Party

In January 2001, the Company retained McGettigan, Wick & Co. Inc., which holds a seat in the Company's Board of Directors, to provide financial advisory services to the management and Board of Directors of the Company relative to the structuring, evaluation, negotiation, documentation, and closing of strategic alternatives for the Company. The fee for providing such services was $10,000, payable for three months commencing in February 2001, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Also due and payable upon consummation of any sale or merger of, acquisition by, or third-party financing for the Company will be a success fee equal to 5% of the consideration received or paid by the Company. The aggregate retainer fee of $30,000 will be credited against the success fee. If the Company were the acquiror, the success fee will be 0.5% of any equity consideration issued by the Company plus 0.167% of any assumed debt obligation of the seller.

17. Subsequent Event

In July 2002, after exploring numerous strategic alternatives, the Company has decided to terminate the operations of its InfoScriber subsidiary in the near future. The Company is in the process of evaluating the necessary steps to accomplish this task and is developing a formal disposition plan. The Company will account for the disposition of InfoScriber as a discontinued operation in fiscal year 2002, when the disposition plan is completed. However, in accordance with SFAS No. 121, the Company has recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 an impairment charge of approximately $464,000 related to InfoScriber's furniture, equipment, and certain other current assets, which has been included in the special charge in the statement of operations.

18. Disclosures About Reportable Segments

In accordance with the criteria of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company determined that it operates in three reportable segments: Outpatient Programs, Case Management Programs, and Health Information. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services to a variety of inpatient and outpatient recipients and a variety of health care organizations. Accounting policies of segments are the same as those described in Note 1. There are no intersegment revenues. All revenues are derived from services performed in the United States.

Activities classified as Other in the following schedule relate primarily to unallocated home office items. Assets for Outpatient Programs, Case Management Programs, and Health Information segment consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, furniture and office equipment, and intangible assets. The Company evaluates the performance of each reportable segment based on income (loss) from operations before income taxes and before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

F–20


Revenues from one provider, which are included in the Case Management Programs segment, are greater than 10% of consolidated revenues for the year ended April 30, 2001 (see Note 12) and totaled approximately $14.0 million, $13.7 million, and $10.5 million for the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
