ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
                           ELECTION OF PMR DIRECTORS
 
     PMR's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "PMR Restated
Certificate") and PMR's Bylaws provide that the PMR Board shall be divided into
three classes, each class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the
total number of directors, with each class having a three-year term. Vacancies
on the PMR Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the
remaining directors. A director elected by the PMR Board to fill a vacancy
(including a vacancy created by an increase in the PMR Board) shall serve for
the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy
occurred and until such director's successor is elected and qualified.
 
     The PMR Board is presently composed of six members. There are two directors
in the class whose term of office expires in 1998. Each of the nominees for
election to this class is currently a director of PMR who was previously elected
by the stockholders. If elected at the PMR Meeting, each of the nominees would
serve until the 2001 annual meeting and until his or her successor is elected
and has qualified, or until such director's earlier death, resignation or
removal.
 
     Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Shares represented by
executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the
election of the two nominees named below. In the event that any nominee should
be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares
will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as management may
propose. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and
management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.
 
     Set forth below is biographical information for each person nominated and
each person whose term of office as a director will continue after the PMR
Meeting.

PMR BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS
 
     During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998 the PMR Board held six
meetings. The PMR Board has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee.
 
     The Audit Committee has primary responsibility to review accounting
procedures and methods employed in connection with audit programs and related
management policies. Its duties include (1) selecting the independent auditors
for PMR, (2) reviewing the scope of the audit to be conducted by them, (3)
meeting with the independent auditors concerning the results of their audit, and
(4) overseeing the scope and accuracy of PMR's system of internal accounting
controls. The Audit Committee is the principal liaison between the Board of
Directors and the independent auditors for PMR. The members of the Audit
Committee are Messrs. Daniel L. Frank and Charles C. McGettigan (Chairman).
During fiscal 1998, the Audit Committee conducted one (1) meeting.
 
     The Compensation Committee is responsible for continually reviewing PMR's
compensation and benefit programs and making recommendations regarding these
programs to the Board from time to time. The Committee consists of Messrs.

75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and of the committees
on which he or she served, held during the period for which he was a director or
committee member, respectively.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
COMPENSATION OF PMR DIRECTORS
 
     The employee-directors of PMR receive no fees or other compensation in
connection with their services as directors. PMR has adopted an informal policy
to pay a fee of $500 to each non-employee director who attends a regularly
scheduled or special meeting of the PMR Board and to pay expenses for attendance
at any such meeting. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, Messrs. Hill,
McGettigan, Niglio and Frank each received such payments in the amount of $3,000
and PMR paid their expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
 
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS' NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN OF 1992
 
     Each non-employee director of PMR receives stock option grants under the
Outside Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan of 1992 (the "Outside
Directors' Plan"). Only non-employee directors of PMR are eligible to receive
options under the Outside Directors' Plan. Options granted under the Outside
Directors' Plan are intended by PMR not to qualify as incentive stock options
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
 
     Option grants under the Outside Directors' Plan are non-discretionary. As
of the date of the regular meeting of the PMR Board closest to August 3rd of
each year, each member of PMR's Board who is not an employee of PMR is
automatically granted under the Outside Directors' Plan, without further action
by PMR, the PMR Board or the stockholders of PMR, an option to purchase 15,000
shares of Common Stock of PMR. The PMR Board may also grant options at any other
time under the Outside Directors' Plan. The exercise price of options granted
under the Outside Directors' Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value
of the PMR Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant.
Options granted under the Outside Directors' Plan are immediately exercisable as
to 30% of the option shares and the remaining 70% of the option shares become
exercisable in equal installments on each of the first, second and third
anniversary of the option grant date in accordance with the terms of the Outside
Directors' Plan. In the event of certain mergers of PMR with or into another
corporation or certain other consolidation, acquisition of assets or other
change-in-control transactions involving PMR, the exercisability of each option
will accelerate.
 
     On May 1, 1997, PMR granted options covering 15,000 shares to each
non-employee director of PMR, at an exercise price per share of $18.875. The
fair market value of such PMR Common Stock on the date of grant was $18.875 per
share (based on the closing sales price reported in the Nasdaq National Market
on that date). As of August 7, 1998, 92,000 shares of PMR Common Stock have been
purchased pursuant to options exercised under the Outside Directors' Plan.
 
1997 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     On February 1, 1990, the PMR Board adopted and on August 16, 1990,
stockholders approved PMR's Employee's Incentive Stock Option Plan of 1990. As a
result of a series of amendments to the plan, there are 2,000,000 shares of PMR
Common Stock authorized for issuance under the plan. In April 1997, the PMR
Board amended the plan to provide for, among other things, grants of
nonstatutory stock options and acceleration of vesting upon certain terminations
of employment in connection with a change in control of PMR (as described
below), and the PMR Board renamed the plan as the PMR Corporation 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Executive officers and employee-directors
may be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Incentive
Plan. A detailed summary of the terms of the Incentive Plan is set forth under
Proposal 4 above.
 
     During the last fiscal year, PMR did not grant any options to the Named
Executive Officers (defined below) or employee-directors of PMR.
    
<PAGE>   6
   
                         COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO PLANS
 
     PMR maintains a tax-deferred retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of all employees meeting minimum
eligibility requirements (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, each employee may defer
up to fifteen percent (15%) of pre-tax earnings, subject to certain limitations.
PMR will match fifty percent (50%) of an employee's deferral to a maximum of
three percent (3%) of an employee's gross salary. PMR's matching contribution
vests over a five (5) year period. For the years ended April 30, 1998, 1997 and
1996, PMR contributed $265,000, $186,000 and $138,000, respectively, to match
employee deferrals. Of these amounts, $20,482, $19,558 and $9,655, respectively,
were contributed to match deferrals of the named executive officers of PMR.
