</TABLE>


   On January 16, 2001, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to
   obtain a new overadvance commitment (the "Overadvance Facility") and a new
   customer commitment (the "Customer Facility").  Under the Overadvance
   Facility, the Company can borrow $2.0 million at an interest rate equal to
   the Base Rate plus 3.75%.  The facility expires on December 31, 2001 but can
   be extended to January 28, 2004 if the eligible accounts receivable balance
   is greater than $14.7 million.  Under the Customer Facility, the Company can
   borrow $2.0 million at an interest rate

                                       6
<PAGE>

   equal to the Base Rate plus 3.75%. Borrowings under the Customer Facility
   must be used to make payments to customers of the Company to cover the float
   in respect of checks deposited into one or more trust funds by debtors of
   such customers and can be outstanding for a maximum of 5 days. The Company is
   limited to two borrowings per calendar month under the Customer Facility. The
   Customer Facility expires on December 31, 2001. In addition, the Company is
   required to pay a commitment fee of .625% on the unused portion of the
   Overadvance Facilty and Customer Facility. Among other restrictions, the
   credit agreement, as amended, requires the Company to maintain certain
   financial ratios and limits the Company's ability to incur additional debt,
   pay dividends, and to make acquisitions and capital expenditures. At March
   31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, as amended on
   January 16, 2001.

   In order to fund the working capital requirements associated with expanding
   the business, the Company received additional equity investment of $5.0
   million from its stockholder in January 2001.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

   The Company is involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course
   of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these
   matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
   financial position or results of operations.

5. Provision for Employee Severance, Office Closure and Other Unusual Charges

   In the last quarter of 1999 and the first six months of 2000, the Company
   expanded its pre-chargeoff services to provide more comprehensive collection
   solutions for its clients. This expansion required the addition of two new
   facilities.  Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2000 the Company incurred
   $0.3 million for the costs of such expansion activities.

   Changes in the accrual associated with office closures are as follows (in
   thousands):

6. Recent Accounting Developments

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") is in the process of
   completing a proposal to change merger accounting rules.  The proposal, 2001
   FASB Exposure Draft "Business Combinations and Intangible Assets Accounting
   for Goodwill", would eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting
   for mergers and acquisitions, mandating purchase accounting for such
   transactions.  Under the current business combination accounting rules, the
   unallocated difference between the fair market value of the assets and
   liabilities purchased for an acquisition accounted for under the purchase
   method of accounting and the purchase price (goodwill) is amortized over the
   estimated useful life of this asset.

                                       7
<PAGE>

   The new proposal takes a nonamortization approach to goodwill.  Under the new
   proposal, goodwill would be tested periodically for impairment.  The final
   rule has not been issued yet, nor is there any certainty as to the effective
   date of this rule.  The Company is actively monitoring the status of this
   pronouncement.


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

Results of Operations

(Three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to three months ended March 31,
2000)

Revenue.  Total revenue increased $1.1 million or 3% from $33.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 to $34.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. Excluding $1.5 million of 2000 revenue from a directory
assistance program to a major telecommunications company, which the Company
discontinued in July 2000, revenue grew 8% from $32.0 million for the first
quarter of 2000 to $34.6 million for the first quarter of 2001.  The increase
was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in pre-chargeoff revenues from
clients in the telecommunications and financial services industries, partially
offset by a $1.6 million decrease in contingent fee revenues.  The decrease in
contingent fee revenue was primarily due to a rate reduction by one of the
Company's largest financial services clients and, to a lesser extent, a decrease
in healthcare revenues.

Expenses.  Salaries and benefits expense decreased $1.0 million or 4% to $20.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $21.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily the result of
reorganizing the Company's operations and closing small unprofitable collection
centers in 2000.

Telecommunications expense increased $0.1 million or 7% to $1.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2000.
The increase was primarily the result of the continued growth of the business.

Occupancy expense increased $0.2 million or 15% to $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.5 million for the same period in 2000. The
increase was the result of annual rent escalations in 2001 and the Company
leasing additional facilities in 2000 to accommodate the Company's growth.
Although the Company eliminated small unprofitable call centers in 2000, the
majority of the cost savings associated with the reorganization of the Company's
operations were in salaries and benefits and other operating and administrative
expense.

Other operating and administrative expense increased $0.6 million or 13% to $5.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $4.8 million for the same
period in 2000. The increase was primarily the result of additional professional
services fees due to growth in the Company's business.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.2 million or 8% to $3.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $2.8 million for the
period ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily the result of
depreciation on capital assets acquired in 2000 to support the Company's revenue
growth.

Provision for employee severance, office closure and other unusual charges. In
the last quarter of 1999 and the first six months of 2000, the Company expanded
its pre-chargeoff services to provide more

                                       8
<PAGE>

comprehensive collection solutions for its clients. This expansion required the
addition of two new facilities. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2000 the
Company incurred $0.3 million for the costs of such expansion activities.

Operating Income.  Operating income was $2.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, an increase of $1.2 million from operating income of $1.0
million for the same period in 2000.  This increase was primarily the result of
increased revenues, elimination of small unprofitable collection centers in 2000
and the restructuring of certain operations in 2000.  The Company will continue
to look for ways to streamline the business and become more efficient.  As an
example, the Company closed another small collection center in Woburn,
Massachusetts on April 30, 2001.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $3.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2000, an increase
of $0.1 million. This increase was primarily the result of additional borrowings
against the revolving credit facility and interest paid on capital lease
obligations, partially offset by lower interest on the term loans due to
scheduled payments made over the past year that reduced the principal balance.

Net Loss.  The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31,
2001 of $1.4 million compared to a net loss of $2.5 million in the same period
of 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows.  Cash used in operating activities was $5.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, resulting in an increase in cash used of $3.6 million.  The
increase in cash used compared to the same period in 2000 was primarily a result
of an increase in accounts receivable of $2.1 million in 2001 compared to a
decrease in accounts receivable of $2.2 million during the first three months of
2000.  The accounts receivable increase was primarily the result of a change in
the revenue mix and, to a lesser extent, the timing of payments by the Company's
clients. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities decreased by $3.6
million during the first quarter of 2001 primarily due to a $5.1 million semi-
annual interest payment on January 15, 2001 for the Company's outstanding notes
and $0.7 million of payments related to the provision for accrued severance and
office closure costs.  Cash used in investing activities for the first three
months of 2001 and 2000 was $2.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively,
consisting of capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities was
$5.9 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities in
2001 compared to 2000 was primarily due to lower additional borrowings on the
revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of 2001 the Company borrowed an
additional $1.4 million on the Company's revolving credit facility compared to
borrowings of $5.9 million during the first quarter of 2000.

Working Capital.  Working capital increased to $9.7 million at March 31, 2001
from $3.6 million at December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of the $2.1
million increase in accounts receivable and $3.6 million decrease in accounts
payable and other accrued liabilities discussed above.

Capital Expenditures.  Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31,
2001 were $2.0 million, principally for equipment to support the expansion of
pre-chargeoff services to a major telecommunications company as well as
investment in telecommunications and information systems technology. The Company
expects to limit capital spending to approximately $5.5 million for the year.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Liquidity.  The principal sources of liquidity for the Company's business and
operating needs in the first quarter of 2001 were internally generated funds
from its operations, borrowings of $1.4 million against the revolving credit
facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") and a $5.0 million capital infusion from
the Company's shareholder. On January 16, 2001, the Company amended its
Revolving Credit Facility to obtain a new overadvance commitment (the
"Overadvance Facility") and a new customer commitment (the "Customer Facility").
Under the Overadvance Facility, the Company can borrow $2.0 million at an
interest rate equal to the Base Rate plus 3.75%. The facility expires on
December 31, 2001 but can be extended to January 28, 2004 if the eligible
accounts receivable balance is greater than $14.7 million. Under the Customer
Facility, the Company can borrow $2.0 million at an interest rate equal to the
Base Rate plus 3.75%. Borrowings under the Customer Facility must be used to
make payments to customers of the Company to cover the float in respect of
checks deposited into one or more trust funds by debtors of such customers and
can be outstanding for a maximum of 5 days. The Company is limited to two
borrowings per calendar month under the Customer Facility. The Customer Facility
expires on December 31, 2001. In addition, the Company is required to pay a
commitment fee of .625% on the unused portion of the Overadvance Facilty and
Customer Facility. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $12.4 million of
borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Among other
restrictions, the Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to maintain
certain financial ratios and limits the Company's ability to incur additional
debt, pay dividends, and to make acquisitions and capital expenditures. At March
31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, as amended on
January 16, 2001.

The ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations and to comply
with the restrictive and financial covenants contained in the Company's senior
credit facility, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Company's outstanding
notes will be dependent on the future operating and financial performance of the
Company, which will be subject in part to a number of factors beyond the control
of the Company, such as prevailing economic conditions, interest rates and
demand for credit collection services.

Management believes that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated
improvements in operating results, cash flows from operations and borrowings
available under the credit facilities will be adequate to allow for anticipated
capital expenditures, to fund working capital requirements and to make required
payments of principal and interest on its debt. However, if the Company is
unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, it may
be necessary for the Company to refinance all or a portion of its debt, obtain
additional financing or obtain additional equity contribution from existing
investors, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effect
such refinancing or obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms
or at all.

Income Taxes

The Company has not recorded any tax benefit on its loss before income taxes for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 due to the uncertainty regarding the
realization of such benefits.

Recent Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") is in the process of
completing a proposal to change merger accounting rules.  The proposal, 2001
FASB Exposure Draft "Business Combinations and Intangible Assets Accounting for
Goodwill", would eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for
mergers and acquisitions, mandating purchase accounting for such transactions.
Under the current business combination accounting rules, the unallocated
difference between the fair market value of

                                       10
<PAGE>

the assets and liabilities purchased for an acquisition accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and the purchase price (goodwill) is amortized
over the estimated useful life of this asset.

The new proposal takes a nonamortization approach to goodwill. Under the new
proposal, goodwill would be tested periodically for impairment. The final rule
has not been issued yet, nor is there any certainty as to the effective date of
this rule. The Company is actively monitoring the status of this pronouncement.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q and other communications, as well as oral statements made by
representatives of the Company, may contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements relate to, among other things, the Company's outlook for future
periods, market forces within the industry, cost reduction strategies and their
results, planned capital expenditures, long-term objectives of management and
other statements of expectations concerning matters that are not historical
facts.

Predictions of future results contain a measure of uncertainty and, accordingly,
actual results could differ materially due to various factors. Factors that
could change forward-looking statements are, among others, changes in the
general economy, changes in demand for the Company's services and/or cyclicality
in the industries to which the Company's services are rendered, governmental
regulations and other unforeseen circumstances. A number of these factors are
discussed in this Form 10-Q and in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
