NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Unaudited



1. Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pediatric Services of America, Inc. (the Company) and
its majority-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principal accounting policies are set forth in our 2004 Annual Report.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Description
of Business



We provide a broad range of pediatric health
care services and equipment including nursing, respiratory therapy, rental and sale of durable medical equipment, pharmaceutical services and infusion therapy services. In addition, we provide pediatric rehabilitation services, day treatment centers
for medically fragile and chronically ill children and pediatric well care and immunization services. We also provide case management services in order to assist the family and patient by coordinating the provision of services between the insurer or
other payor, the physician, the hospital and other health care providers. Our services are designed to provide a high quality, lower cost alternative to prolonged hospitalization for medically fragile children. As a complement to our pediatric
respiratory and infusion therapy services, we also provide respiratory and infusion therapy and related services for adults. For financial reporting purposes, our branch offices are aggregated into three reportable segments based on their
predominant line of net revenue in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (see Note 7).



Use of Estimates



The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. For example, due to the nature of the
industry and the reimbursement environment in which we operate, certain estimates are required in recording net revenues and determining provisions for doubtful accounts. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or
updated as additional information becomes available to management.



Concentration of Credit Risk



Our principal
financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in one financial institution. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative
credit standing of this financial institution. The concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, which are primarily health care industry related, represent a risk to us given the current health care environment. The risk is
somewhat limited due to the large number of payors including Medicaid and Medicare, insurance companies and individuals, and the diversity of geographic locations in which we operate. However, we have substantial geographic density in the eastern
United States, which we believe exposes us to payor initiated reimbursement changes. In addition, we are exposed to risk for a substantial amount of accounts receivable for a small number of hemophilia factor patients and disruptions to cash
collections due to the inability of some payors to process claims.



Accounts Receivable



Accounts receivable are
recorded based upon the amount of net revenue expected to be reimbursed by private and third party payors. Interest income is not recorded on trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable include approximately $7.7 million and $7.0 million for
which services have been rendered but the amounts were unbilled as of March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Such unbilled amounts are primarily a result of the time required to process bills for services rendered.

Workers Compensation Loss Fund



Our workers compensation insurance carrier, Argonaut Insurance
Company, rated A by AM Best Company, requires a twelve month estimated loss reserve to be funded entirely with cash each fiscal year which is then reduced by the monthly loss fund payments. The net balance at March 31, 2005 was $4.0 million. The
insurance carrier has the right to increase this cash requirement at the end of each fiscal year if the claim experience is greater than anticipated, but to date has not indicated the need to do so. The policy for fiscal 2005 will be funded in a
similar manner with the cash requirement estimated to be $1.0 million.



Identifiable Intangible Assets



Amortization
expense on identifiable intangible assets was approximately $0.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and $0.07 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Estimated amortization expense of
identifiable intangible assets for each of the fiscal years ending September 30, is presented below:

Workers
Compensation Bond Collateral



We have secured surety bonds
of $1.7 million to satisfy our workers compensation program requirements for our former insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2005, the surety bonds were collateralized by $1.5 million cash posted to a third party escrow account. The cash
collateral was reduced by approximately $0.8 million in March 2005 which was returned to us.



Accrued Insurance/Insurance Recoveries



We retain the services of an independent actuary to prepare an actuarial analysis of our development of reported and incurred but not reported claims for workers compensation, medical malpractice and employee
medical benefit plans. These estimates are updated quarterly based on recent claims history and other events. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will need to be revised or updated, with the changes recorded in subsequent periods, as
additional information becomes available to management. Accrued workers compensation and medical malpractice losses have been discounted at 6%.



We renewed our insurance program on October 1, 2004 for medical malpractice, commercial and general liability coverage with Arch Specialty Insurance
Company, rated A- by AM Best Company. Our workers compensation carrier, Argonaut Insurance Company, is rated A by AM Best Company.



Lillie Axelrod, spouse of director Michael Axelrod, is an employee of Acordia Inc. Acordia provides insurance brokerage services to us. Mrs. Axelrod is
paid a commission based on the fees paid to Acordia. During fiscal 2005, the fees expected to be paid by us to Acordia will be approximately $0.175 million.



Income Taxes



The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
increased by approximately $0.1 million due to a discrete event in a state jurisdiction disallowing certain deductions for state income tax purposes.

3. Long-Term Borrowing Arrangements



On January 27, 2004, we entered into a credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (Credit Agreement). Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lender made available a credit facility consisting of a $10.0 million revolving line of credit and a $10.0 million line of credit for acquisitions. Availability in both components is subject to a borrowing
base calculation against our accounts receivable. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% or the Index Rate plus 1.50%. Borrowings under the acquisition line of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.50% or the
Index Rate plus 2.00%. The Credit Agreement provides for unused line fees of 0.50% for the revolving line of credit and 0.75% for the acquisition line of credit. The Credit Agreement contains several financial and non-financial covenants including,
but not limited to, certain leverage, coverage, days sales outstanding and maximum capital expenditures requirements.



On May 12, 2004, we amended the Credit Agreement to clarify a definition and increase the maximum capital expenditures covenant. We have made no
borrowings under this agreement since its inception.



On April
16, 1998, we issued, in a private placement, $75 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008, which were subsequently replaced on May 12, 1998, with $75 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2008, Series A, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Notes). The Indenture under which the Notes were issued allows us to repurchase the Notes at our discretion. All bids to repurchase have been based
upon a number of factors including cash availability, interest rates on invested cash, other capital investment alternatives, and relative ask prices quoted by the market maker. Each decision to repurchase the Notes has been arrived at independently
using the above criteria and we do not have a formal plan in place to repurchase the Notes. At March 31, 2005, total borrowings outstanding under the Notes were approximately $20.4 million.



4. Stock Option Plans



During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively 104,767 and 70,383 options to acquire Common Stock were
exercised. During the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively 219,126 and 75,458 options to acquire Common Stock were exercised.



On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a
revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.
Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.



Statement 123(R) must be adopted by us no later than the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. We expect to adopt Statement 123(R) on October 1, 2005.



Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one
of two methods:



| | 1. | A modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all that remain unvested on the effective date.

| | 2. | A modified retrospective method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the
amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We plan to adopt Statement 123(R) using the modified prospective method.



As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for
share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair value method will have a
significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) on our future financial statements cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend
on levels of share-based payments granted in the future and the fluctuation in our share price. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described
in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share described below. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as financing cash flow, rather than as an
operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future
(because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 for such excess tax deductions were $0.5 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.



Pro forma information regarding net income and
earnings per share, required by SFAS 123 and as amended by SFAS 148, was determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method. The fair value of these options
was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.



For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options vesting period. Our pro forma information follows (in thousands, except for net income per share
information):

5. Commitments and Contingencies



As a result of operating in the health care industry, our
business entails an inherent risk of lawsuits alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories, which can involve large claims and significant defense costs. From time to time, we are subject to such suits arising in the ordinary
course of business. We currently maintain professional and commercial liability insurance intended to cover such claims. As of March 31, 2005, this insurance coverage is provided under a claims-made policy which provides, subject to the
terms and conditions of the policy, coverage for certain types of claims made against us during the term of the policy and does not provide coverage for

losses occurring during the terms of the policy for which a claim is made subsequent to the termination of the
policy. Should the policy not be renewed or replaced with equivalent insurance, claims based on occurrences during its term but asserted subsequently would be uninsured. There can be no assurance that our coverage limits of insurance will be
adequate.



In addition, we are subject to claims and lawsuits
arising in the ordinary course of business. Based upon information available to date, management believes it has provided adequate reserves if needed for any unfavorable settlement; however, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of
such current pending legal proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial or liquidity position.



We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our employees which provide, among other things, salary, benefits and perquisites, as well as
additional compensation for certain changes in control of the Company or a failure of the Company to comply with any material terms of the agreements.



6. Basic and Diluted Income Per Share



Basic income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is
computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares (calculated using the treasury stock method).



The following table sets forth the reconciliation of denominators used in the computation of the basic and diluted net
income per share:

We have three reportable segments: Nursing and PPEC; Pharmacy and
Respiratory Therapy Equipment and Services (RTES). Our Nursing and PPEC division consists primarily of private duty home nursing care for predominately pediatric patients as well as Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care Centers which provide daily
medical care for medically fragile children. Our Pharmacy division provides pharmaceutical products and services for our patients in the home or physicians office. Our RTES division provides respiratory therapy equipment and services to

segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 2). We evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operating income, excluding corporate, general and administrative expenses. Asset
information by segment, including capital expenditures and net income (loss) beyond operating contribution margins are not provided to our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Inter-segment allocations have been eliminated.



Our reportable segments are defined based on the predominant line of net
revenue which is reviewed by the CODM. The reportable segments are managed separately.



Our quarterly results may vary significantly depending primarily on factors such as re-hospitalizations of patients, seasonality and usage levels of pharmaceutical products and respiratory services, the timing of new
branch office openings and pricing pressures due to legislative and regulatory initiatives to contain health care costs. Because of these factors, our operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results for the full
fiscal year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY



Recent Developments



Home Healthcare Industry Events & Updates



Historically, Medicare reimbursement for covered drugs has been limited to 95 percent of the published average wholesale price (AWP) for the drug. The
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) established new payment limits and procedures for drugs reimbursed under Medicare Part B, including drugs used for inhalation therapy. The final rule, as the MMA required,
provides that Medicare beneficiaries will be reimbursed at a rate of 106 percent of the volume-weighted average selling price (the ASP). In addition, providers of inhalation therapy drugs, including our company, will receive a dispensing fee for
supplying such drugs. The calendar year 2005 dispensing fee will be $57 for thirty (30) days of therapy or $80 for ninety (90) days. Within the Pharmacy segment, we are continuing to assess the impact of these changes to our unit dose respiratory
products to determine the viability of our long term profitability. While the long term impact of the MMA reforms cannot yet be determined because the recently promulgated regulations are transitional in nature, these and other changes may have a
material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. For fiscal year 2005, the impact of these regulations on the approximately 31% of our Medicare program net revenue that is derived from these products is expected to substantially
reduce our profitability in the Pharmacy segment. There can be no assurance that we will not face increased margin pressures from subsequent reimbursement changes beyond 2005.



A number of other pilot programs and demonstrations which are mandated by the MMA signal the likelihood of continued
re-design of certain aspects of the Medicare program. While the more immediately visible changes mandated by the MMA relate to extension of the Medicare benefit to prescription drug coverage, other aspects may impact the operations and profitability
of health care providers, including our company. Among other things, the MMA mandates a phased-in competitive bidding process for Medicare procurement of certain durable medical equipment (DME), commencing in the ten (10) largest Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (MSAs) in 2007, followed by the next eighty (80) largest MSAs in 2009. Moreover, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health & Human Services has the authority to apply competitive bidding nationally for the highest
cost, highest volume items and services and those items and services that the Secretary determines to have the largest savings potential. There will also be at least a five (5) year freeze in the Consumer Price Index update for
reimbursement rates for DME where competitive bidding prices are not applicable. In addition, commencing in calendar year 2005, reimbursement for certain items and services (e.g., oxygen and oxygen equipment) that are not subject to competitive
bidding will be capped at the 2002 rate or the Median Federal Employee Health Plan Price established in 2002, whichever is lower. We are continuing to analyze the impact of these reimbursement changes to our RTES segment and plan to
address the proposed reductions by altering our business model with changes such as reducing costs, growing revenue through our managed care marketing strategies and seeking additional ways to improve productivity. For fiscal year 2005, the impact
of these regulations on the approximately 38% of our Medicare program net revenue that is derived from these products will be to reduce our profitability in the RTES segment. There can be no assurance that we will not face increased margin pressures
from subsequent reimbursement changes beyond 2005.



Under the
MMA, there are major changes in the Medicare payment rates for hemophilia products beginning in calendar year 2005. Currently, Medicare reimburses for blood clotting factor at 95 percent of AWP. Effective January 1, 2005, we will be paid for blood
clotting factor based on the new ASP methodology. We expect that the resulting payment rates will be lower than the current rates for these products. In addition, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will make a separate payment to
the entity that provides blood clotting factor to a Medicare beneficiary for items and services related to the furnishing of such products. The amount of this separate payment is capped so that the total of the ASP payment rate and the separate
payment amount cannot exceed 95 percent of AWP. It is possible that the proposed separate payment amount will be inadequate for the service level requirements of the Medicare beneficiary with hemophilia. While our current census of Medicare
beneficiary hemophilia patients is quite low, the potential for select state Medicaid programs to adopt changes to their payment rates based upon these Medicare changes exists. Such changes could result in a payment amount that would be inadequate
for the required service level. We are continuing to analyze the impact of these reimbursement changes to our Pharmacy segment and plan to address the proposed reductions by altering our business model with changes such as reducing costs, growing
revenue through our managed care marketing strategies and seeking additional ways to improve productivity. There can be no assurance that we will not face increased margin pressures from reimbursement changes.



As described in our prior SEC filings, Georgia Medicaids contractor
missed the original implementation date of October 1, 2002 and delayed the go live date until April 1, 2003 for its new Multi Health Network system. Georgia Medicaid is an important customer of ours and represents approximately 6% of our
annual billed revenue. Some of

the continuing problems we are trying to resolve with Georgia Medicaid include: correcting conflicts between provider
numbers, categories of service, membership identification, units of measure, authorized duration of service and corresponding procedure codes within its authorization module. Given the States apparent unwillingness to agree to a timely
settlement on a large number of claims from our RTES segment, we are working with external legal counsel on the range of alternatives available to us, including initiating legal action. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, payments of our
outstanding claims increased and the outstanding amount owed declined. Nevertheless, we have been in communication with other contacts in the States government and received indications of their willingness to help us resolve this issue. Based
upon the information available to date, we believe we have recorded an adequate allowance against these receivable balances.



While certain states are realizing relief from prior revenue shortfalls and some are reporting surpluses, concern over a reduction in the future level of
Federal Medical Assistance Percentages dampens the likelihood that these Medicaid payment limitations will be abated at any time in the near future. While many of the states in which we operate are discussing alternatives which could have the effect
of restricting eligibility for Medicaid benefits or increasing the use of managed care organizations in the administration of benefits, we are not aware of any specific proposals being actively evaluated which would have a material adverse impact
upon our operations or financial results. However, in an effort to impact these legislative issues, we have engaged consultants in selected markets to directly present our cost saving strategies and related rate requests to the Medicaid programs.
Beginning in fiscal 2005, we received a rate increase for our Private Duty Nursing services from two states. In addition, our local market staff routinely collaborates with the appropriate community and regulatory authorities on our behalf as well
as our patients.



The HIPAA transactions and code set
standards, mandate that Covered Entities, including our company, transmit claims and certain related healthcare information in standardized formats and data sets. Compliance was required on October 16, 2003, but many payors, including most state
Medicaid agencies, were not in compliance by that date. To date, many Medicaid agencies are running dual systems to accommodate HIPAA compliant transactions as well as non-compliant transactions. Some states, however, are running only HIPAA
compliant systems and other states are not yet HIPAA compliant. There is uncertainty as to when those states using dual systems will discontinue their non-HIPAA compliant systems. These uncertainties surrounding claims processing as a result of
HIPAAs transactions and code set standards, which uncertainties are outside our control, have resulted in delayed reimbursement by some payors, including Medicaid agencies. We expect that the impact to our cash collections from non-HIPAA
compliant payors should continue to decline throughout fiscal 2005.



Company Events & Updates



During
the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, we performed a strategic review of our business. The purpose of this review was to conduct a rigorous evaluation of all possible strategic alternatives; select a strategic path that maximizes long-term
shareholder value; assess the management teams capabilities and identify any gaps in needed talents and skill sets; provide clarity to the tactical actions necessary to maximize the value of each segment of the business; and implement a
communication plan which supports the chosen strategic path.



As a result of this strategic review the following actions have been taken:



| |  |  | in consultation with the Board of Directors a number of strategic alternatives have been evaluated and eliminated from further consideration and a strategic path was agreed upon;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | implementation has begun on the tactical action steps necessary to maximize the value of each segment; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | management team changes included a new Vice President of Compliance, a new Vice President of Human Resources, a new interim Vice President of Pharmacy Operations, and we identified
the need for business development talent. The position of Vice President of RTES Operations remains open.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



With respect to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Acts Section 404 requirements related to internal controls over financial reporting, we continue
to work with our consultants on the documentation process and believe that our project is on schedule although our estimated expense has increased. We believe our schedule allows for adequate time to perform the required testing and potential
remediation tasks prior to required testing by our external auditors.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123(R)
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB
Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.



Statement 123(R) must be adopted by us no later than the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. We expect to adopt Statement 123(R) on October
1, 2005.



Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt
its requirements using one of two methods:



| | 1. | A modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all that remain unvested on the effective date.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | A modified retrospective method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the
amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We plan to adopt Statement 123(R) using the modified prospective method.



As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based payments
to employees using Opinion 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair value method will have a significant impact on
our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) on our future financial statements cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of
share-based payments granted in the future and the fluctuation in our share price. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the
disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share described below. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as financing cash flow, rather than as an operating
cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they
depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 for such excess tax deductions were $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.



Risk Management



We have spent significant time and resources to move towards a fully
implemented Enterprise Risk Management Model. This approach to risk management emphasizes assessment of risk from a broader perspective and relies upon significant employee education initiatives and awareness of a variety of risk exposures. Our full
time risk manager, who possesses extensive homecare and occupational medicine experience, has strengthened the initial incident reporting and investigation process and actively monitors claim adjustment activities. Our Risk Committee, which is
comprised of members of the Compliance, Legal, Human Resources, Internal Audit and Risk Management Departments, continues to monitor incident reporting and claim adjustment activity, review existing patient census and discharge high-risk cases where
legally permissible. Our Risk Committee employs a multi-functional approach to its decision making process. We continue to educate branch office staff on risk management procedures including appropriate nurse staffing decisions. In addition, our
third party actuary analyzes our medical malpractice loss history and quantifies liability recognition under the policy terms. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 the actuarys estimated reserves for both workers compensation
and medical malpractice policy years 2000 through 2003 remained consistent with the levels that they had been reduced to over the previous few quarters. The estimated reserves for policy year 2004 remain at a higher level due to the relative
immature development of the open claims. We are hopeful that as the policy year 2004 claims develop more fully, future quarterly actuarial valuations may reflect projected loss amounts that are lower than the current estimated reserves. This change
in estimated reserves would have the impact of reducing the period expense recorded in the financial statements at that time. Indicators of



19

##### Table of Contents

current claim activity for workers compensation for the policy year 2005 suggest that both the number and relative
severity remain at lower levels than earlier policy years. If this trend continues the estimated reserves for policy year 2005 has the potential to be reduced in the second half of fiscal year 2006. Under our medical malpractice policy, with its
$1.0 million per year claim deductible limit and aggregate retention of $8.0 million, if our loss experience worsens it could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and liquidity position.



Operations



We have three reportable segments: (i) Nursing and PPEC, (ii) Pharmacy and
(iii) RTES (see Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 7).



In the Nursing and PPEC segment, we continue to see pressures on both reimbursement levels and wage rates in key markets. Despite continued reductions in authorized levels of service in certain key Medicaid states, we
have successfully increased the number of hours staffed on a daily basis. We have expanded our local market recruiting efforts with the addition of two new recruiters and we are recruiting for two additional positions for a total of ten recruiters.



In the Pharmacy segment, we continue to experience a decline
in gross margin rates across many of our key product offerings. For instance, within the hemophilia factor product, clinical changes in a patients condition can dictate rapid changes to the specific type and amount of drugs provided. These
alternative drugs may have relatively higher acquisition costs and lower reimbursement levels based on the payor. Given the expanded, though increasingly concentrated census, changes of this type expose the Pharmacy segment revenue and contribution
margin to significant volatility. Payor initiated reductions to reimbursement levels with no corresponding reduction to acquisition costs pose a significant threat to future contribution margin levels. In response to these changing market conditions
we have undertaken a series of initiatives including recruiting for a National Hemophilia Director to coordinate our existing programs and provide dedicated focus on expansion. In addition, we have increased development of marketing materials which
highlight our clinical and service expertise as integral components of our pharmacy programs, as well as explored potential business relationships with hemophilia treatment centers to manage their patient populations, and we continue to refine
operational best practices to assure maximized clinical compliance and efficiency. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we experienced a year over year net revenue increase of approximately $0.8 million in our seasonal Synagis product. The
payor and product mix in the three months ended March 31, 2005 yielded a lower gross margin as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.



As anticipated, our unit dose pharmacy experienced a significant reduction in Medicare reimbursement. With the transition in the Vice President of
Pharmacy Operations position, the planned operating cost reductions were delayed until late in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. As we move forward and shift our mix towards manufactured, as opposed to compounded product, we expect our gross margin
rates to stabilize at a level where our contribution margin satisfies our profitability objectives.



Our start up pharmacy in the Orlando market received its required licenses late in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, later than we had anticipated. This
delay contributed to start up losses of approximately $0.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2005. Start up losses attributable to the Denver start up pharmacy were approximately $0.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2005.



In the RTES segment, we are focusing our sales and marketing
efforts on higher acuity respiratory patients to leverage our clinical competencies and more actively manage the core product mix. As a result, we have begun to see increases in target referrals from managed care payors in select markets. However,
we have experienced an increased rate of replacement for several equipment items in our core rental fleet. These increasing capital expenditures reflect growing market acceptance of improved versions of these core products. Many of those items have
become smaller and more portable and are increasingly requested by patients and referring physicians. These items have higher acquisition costs and, to date, reimbursement levels have not increased. In addition, we are experiencing decreased
reimbursement for certain disposable and supply items, as well as the elimination of reimbursement for other select items (see Home Healthcare Industry Events & Updates above for additional discussion). In order to address the
continued margin pressures on our RTES segment, our Product Review Committee continues to standardize product selections, aggregate product volumes and decrease our number of vendors in an attempt to maximize purchasing power. With the Divisional
Vice President position vacant, execution of these initiatives will be critical to achieving the desired objectives.

to approximately 795,000 as compared to 791,000 in the 13 weeks ended December 25, 2004. We continue to aggressively compete for nurses to staff hours ordered, retain nurses with select wage and benefit improvements and implement employee
satisfaction initiatives. We have made additional investments in eight new local market nurse recruiters, with two open positions remaining, to help reduce unstaffed hours. We believe that case hours staffed is the most appropriate measurement of
nursing activity. To date, we have seen inconsistent results in a number of markets and will continue to assess and respond accordingly. We anticipate that over time, our nurse scheduling system, SHINE, will help to improve both un-staffed hours and
gross margin levels; however, there can be no assurance that this will occur.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004



Net revenue increased $3.2 million, or 5%, to $64.3 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2005 from $61.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. For the Nursing and PPEC segment net revenue increased $1.9 million, or 7%, to $28.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $26.6 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2004. Of this growth, $0.3 million was attributable to the Macon start up PPEC branch office and $0.4 million was from PPEC same store growth. The increase of $1.2 million in Nursing net revenue was broad based
throughout our service areas. Pharmacy net revenue increased $0.5 million, or 2%, to $22.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $21.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase in Pharmacy net revenue is
attributable to increased seasonal Synagis product of approximately $0.8 million as well as increases in growth hormone and other infusion therapies. These increases were offset by net revenue declines in hemophilia factor and unit dose respiratory
medications. RTES net revenue increased $0.9 million, or 7%, to $13.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $12.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase was across all core products. In the three months ended
March 31, 2005, we derived approximately 52% of our net revenue from commercial insurers and other private payors, 43% from Medicaid and 5% from Medicare.



Costs of goods and services consist primarily of branch office nursing compensation and benefits, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and related supplies.
Costs of goods and services increased $3.3 million, or 10%, to $37.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $34.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Costs of goods and services of the Nursing and PPEC segment increased
$1.3 million, or 8%, to $17.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $15.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Costs of goods and services as a percentage of the Nursing and PPEC segment net revenue was relatively
constant at 60% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. The Pharmacy segment cost of goods and services increased $1.8 million, or 12%, to $16.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005
from $14.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Pharmacy costs of goods and services as a percentage of net revenue increased to 74% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 68% in the three months ended March 31, 2004. This 6
percentage point increase is attributable to the replacement of comparatively high gross margin hemophilia factor with comparatively lower gross margin growth hormone, Synagis and other infusion therapies. In addition, the unit dose respiratory
products gross margin was substantially lower in the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. The RTES segment cost of goods and services increased $0.2 million, or 5%, to $3.9 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2005 from $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Costs of goods and services as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 29% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 30% in the three months ended March 31,
2004.



Other operating costs and expenses include branch office
administrative and marketing compensation and benefits, allocated business insurance costs, facility and overhead costs. Other operating costs and expenses increased $0.6 million, or 3%, to $17.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from
$16.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. In the Nursing and PPEC segment, other operating costs and expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $8.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $8.1 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2004. As a percentage of net revenue, the Nursing and PPEC segment costs decreased to 28% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 31% in the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary factor was decreased allocated business
insurance costs. In the Pharmacy segment, other operating costs and expenses increased $0.6 million, or 22%, to $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $2.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. As a percentage of net
revenue these costs increased to 15% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase includes administrative salaries of approximately $0.2 million attributable to start up operations in the
Orlando and Denver markets. In addition, a decision was made to change management responsibility for the infusion visit program in select markets from the Nursing segment to the Pharmacy segment. This decision resulted in the reclassification of
approximately $0.2 million of administrative salaries in the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. In the RTES segment, costs and expenses remained relatively constant at $6.0 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. As a percentage of net revenue these costs decreased to 45% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 47% in the three months ended March 31, 2004.



Corporate, general and administrative costs increased $0.1 million, or 2%, to
$5.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate, general and administrative costs remained relatively constant at 8% in the three months
ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2004



Net revenue increased $7.4 million, or 6%, to $128.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2005 from $120.9 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2004. For the Nursing and PPEC segment, net revenue increased $4.7 million, or 9%, to $57.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2005 from $52.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004. Of this growth, $0.5
million was attributable to the Macon PPEC start-up branch office and $0.6 million was from PPEC same store growth. Pharmacy net revenue increased $1.0 million, or 2%, to $44.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2005 from $43.5 million in the
six months ended March 31, 2004. Of this growth, $1.3 million was attributable to increased seasonal Synagis deliveries and $0.5 million was attributable to increased deliveries of growth hormone products. This increase was offset by net revenue
declines in hemophilia factor and unit dose respiratory medications. RTES net revenue increased $1.7 million, or 7%, to $26.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2005 from $24.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004. In the six months

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Operations



On January 27, 2004, we entered into a credit agreement with General
Electric Capital Corporation (Credit Agreement). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lender made available a credit facility consisting of a $10.0 million revolving line of credit and a $10.0 million line of
credit for acquisitions. Availability in both components is subject to a borrowing base calculation against our accounts receivable. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% or the Index Rate plus 1.50%.
Borrowings under the acquisition line of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.50% or the Index Rate plus 2.00%. The Credit Agreement provides for unused line fees of 0.50% for the revolving line of credit and 0.75% for the acquisition line of
credit. The Credit Agreement contains several financial and non-financial covenants including, but not limited to, certain leverage, coverage, DSO and maximum capital expenditures requirements.



On May 12, 2004, we amended the Credit Agreement to clarify a definition and
increase the maximum capital expenditures covenant. We have made no borrowings under the Credit Agreement since its inception.



Cash collections as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 100% and 95%, respectively. While we anticipate
that we will continue to achieve our cash collection targets, there can be no assurance that disruptions to cash flow will not occur.



During the six months ended March 31, 2005, a significant portion of our purchases were for medical equipment to service existing patients and we made
routine purchases of computer equipment to maintain and upgrade our technology infrastructure. We anticipate future capital expenditures for maintenance, support and enhancements of existing technology, continued investments in new start up
locations and continued durable medical equipment purchases. We anticipate funding these capital expenditures with cash flow from operations.



HIPAAs transactions and code set standards mandate that Covered Entities, including our company, transmit claims and certain related healthcare
information in standardized formats and data sets. (See Recent Developments above.)

Risk Management



Our workers compensation insurance carrier, Argonaut Insurance Company, rated A by AM Best Company, requires a twelve
month estimated loss reserve to be funded entirely with cash each fiscal year which is then reduced by the monthly loss fund payments. This cash requirement is estimated to be $1.0 million for fiscal 2005. The net balance at March 31, 2005 and
September 30 2004 was $4.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The insurance carrier has the right to increase this cash requirement at the end of each fiscal year if the claim experience is greater than anticipated, but to date has not
indicated the need to do so.



We have secured surety bonds of
$1.7 million to satisfy our workers compensation program requirements for our former insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2005, the surety bonds were collateralized by $1.5 million cash posted to a third party escrow account. The cash collateral
was reduced by approximately $0.8 million in March 2005 which was returned to us.



We renewed our employee medical benefit plans effective January 1, 2005. We determined it to be advantageous to continue to use a self insured model instead of a guaranteed minimum premium model. Claim history for
calendar 2004 was positive and calendar 2005 pricing is within market inflation estimates. This plan ultimately exposes us to greater risk, although the self-insured models stop loss, aggregate loss and tail liability features provide
sufficient protection such that it is more likely than not that we will realize cost savings, as compared to the guaranteed minimum premium model coverage. In addition, the self-insured model carriers medical and disease management
capabilities along with its pharmacy formulary protocols and wellness care programs should enable us to deliver to our employees a more effective and competitive plan. We recognize that the features of our medical benefit plan are important to the
recruiting and retention of clinical and administrative staff and we are committed to offering a plan that is fully competitive with those offered by other home care providers.



As a result of operating in the health care industry, our business entails an inherent risk of lawsuits alleging
malpractice, product liability or related legal issues, which can involve large claims and significant defense costs. From time to time, we are subject to such suits arising in the ordinary course of business. We currently maintain professional and
commercial liability insurance intended to cover such claims. As of March 31, 2005, this insurance coverage is provided under a claims-made policy which provides, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, coverage for certain
types of claims made against us during the term of the policy and does not provide coverage for losses occurring during the terms of the policy for which a claim is made subsequent to the termination of the policy. Should the policy not be renewed
or replaced with equivalent insurance, claims based on occurrences during its term but asserted subsequently would be uninsured. There can be no assurance that the coverage limits of our insurance policy will be adequate.



On October 1, 2004, we completed our annual renewal of our risk management
program and implemented several changes. We renewed our insurance program for medical malpractice, commercial and general liability coverage with Arch Specialty Insurance Company, rated A- by AM Best Company. Per claim deductible limits remained at
$1.0 million with an aggregate retention of $8.0 million and an annual aggregate limit of $15.0 million. The premiums increased 16% for fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004.



In addition, we are subject to accident claims arising out of the normal operation of our fleet of vans and small trucks,
and we maintain insurance intended to cover such claims. A successful claim against us in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Claims against us, regardless of their merits or eventual outcome,
also may have a material adverse effect upon our reputation and business.



We are, from time to time, subject to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which may allege damages which would not be covered under our existing insurance policies. We establish our reserves
for these lawsuits based upon the information available to date and believe our reserves are adequate; however there can be no assurance that the ultimate settlement of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our operations and
financial results.



Capital Resources



We currently believe that our liquidity position will be adequate to satisfy
our working capital requirements, professional and commercial liability insurance loss funding, workers compensation collateral requirements, and income tax payments. Our current source of liquidity is cash on hand, cash flow from operations
and availability under the Credit Agreement. We are exposed to fluctuations in cash collection results.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS



Our former workers compensation carrier requires the estimated loss
reserve to be secured by surety bonds (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).



On October 1, 2004, we completed our annual renewal of our risk management programs and implemented several changes (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).



We have entered into employment agreements with certain employees which
provide, among other things, salary, benefits and perquisites, as well as additional compensation for certain changes in control or a failure to comply with any material terms of the agreements. We have a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for
certain of our employees. The Plans deferred compensation liability as of March 31, 2005 was approximately $1.2 million.



The following table represents a schedule of our contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2005:

Variation in Quarterly Operating
Results



Our quarterly results may vary significantly
depending primarily on factors such as re-hospitalizations of patients, seasonality and usage levels of pharmaceutical products and respiratory services, the timing of new branch office openings and pricing pressures due to legislative and
regulatory initiatives to contain health care costs. Because of these factors, our operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



We face a number of market risk exposures including risks related to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and interest rates. Cash and cash
equivalents are held primarily in one financial institution. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of this financial institution. The concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, which are primarily
health care industry related, represent a risk to us given the current environment in the health care industry. The risk is somewhat limited due to the large number of payors including Medicare and Medicaid, insurance companies, individuals and the
diversity of geographic locations in which we operate. However, we have substantial geographic density in the eastern United States, which we believe exposes us to payor initiated reimbursement changes, substantial accounts receivable for a small
number of hemophilia factor patients and disruptions to cash collections due to the inability of some payors to process claims.



Our Notes, issued in 1998, have a fixed coupon rate of 10%. The fair value of our Notes is subject to change as a result of changes in market prices or
interest rates. We estimate potential changes in the fair value of interest rate sensitive financial instruments based on the hypothetical increase (or decrease) in interest rates. Our use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of such
instruments should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy or the accuracy of the related assumptions. The quantitative information about market risk is necessarily limited because it does not take into account other factors such as our
financial performance and credit ratings.



Based on a
hypothetical immediate 150 basis point increase in interest rates at March 31, 2005 and 2004, the market value of our Notes would be reduced by approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Conversely, a 150 basis point decrease in
interest rates would result in a net increase in the market value of our Notes outstanding at March 31, 2005 and 2004 of approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to our company (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.



(b)Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.



PART II  OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



From
time to time, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, some of which seek relief or damages in amounts that are substantial. These actions and proceedings arise in the ordinary course of our business and allege damages
relating to personal injury torts, product liability, and other legal issues. Because of the complex nature of some of these actions and proceedings, it may be a number of years before such matters ultimately are resolved. We currently maintain
professional and commercial liability insurance intended to cover such actions and proceedings as discussed in Part I, Item 2  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and
Capital Resources. In addition, some of these lawsuits may allege damages which may not be covered under our existing insurance polices. Based upon information available to date, management believes it has provided adequate reserves if needed for
any unfavorable settlement; however, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of such current pending legal proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial or liquidity position.
