BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. The financial information presented should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2004 financial statements that were filed under Form 10-K. 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2003 the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" and in December 2003 the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 (revised) ("FIN 46(R)"),"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised)". These interpretations of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," address consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities where there is a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity or where the variable interest does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parities. The Company will apply the consolidation requirement of FIN 46 and FIN 46(R) in future periods if the Company should own any interests in any variable interest entity. 3. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three-month period ending September 30, 2004 and 2003. The Company did not have any stock options and warrants that impacted earnings per share in each period. 5 4. LITIGATION On February 7, 2001, the Company filed a suit against a major client in the Court of Common Pleas in Chester County, Pennsylvania. This suit has subsequently been removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In the lawsuit, the Company has made various claims, including among others a claim that the client failed to pay approximately $2.1 million in invoiced amounts, a claim that the client failed to pay approximately $1 million in other amounts owing, a claim for reimbursement for start up costs in an amount in excess of $400,000, a claim for over $2 million in lost profits (or, alternatively, a claim for reimbursement for over $300,000 in credits issued in exchange for the promise to extend the arrangement), a claim in the nature of treble damages and counsel fees, and other claims. The client has filed a counterclaim which the Company is contesting as part of the overall proceedings. The case is currently tentatively scheduled for February 7, 2005. The Company is involved in litigation with two separate construction contractors related to the renovations of Collegeville Inn Conference and Training Center. The Company denies its liability for each claim and has asserted offsets against the amounts claimed. One case is listed for trial in early 2005, while the other case is in discovery. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery, the Company believes these unresolved legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. In addition to the litigation described above, the Company is exposed to asserted and unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This management approach focuses on internal financial information that is used by management to assess performance and to make operating decisions. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company's reportable segments are (1) food service management and (2) training and conference center. The Company reports segment performance on an after-tax basis. Deferred taxes are not allocated to segments. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, reported segment results are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other similar companies. 6 For the quarter ended September 30, 2004: Food Service Training and Management Conference Center Total ---------- ----------------- ----- Food service revenue $ 6,529,559 $ 239,988 $ 6,769,547 Depreciation and amortization 27,277 124,399 151,676 Income (loss) from operations 201,531 ( 350,189) ( 148,658) Interest income 1,035 0 1,035 Interest expense ( 35,213) ( 23,446) ( 58,659) Income (loss) before taxes (benefit) 165,837 ( 374,503) ( 208,666) Net income (loss) 165,837 ( 374,503) ( 208,666) Total assets $ 6,645,156 $ 7,750,798 $14,395,954 For the quarter ended September 30, 2003: Food Service Training and Management Conference Center Total ---------- ----------------- ----- Food service revenue $ 6,527,881 $ 178,973 $ 6,706,854 Depreciation and amortization 30,280 124,118 154,398 Income (loss) from operations 288,519 (366,422) ( 77,903) Interest income 1,640 0 1,640 Interest expense (28,244) (16,939) ( 45,183) Income (loss) before taxes (benefit) 261,915 (387,870) (125,955) Net income (loss) 261,915 (387,870) (125,955) Total assets $ 7,054,000 $ 8,152,992 $15,206,992 6. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY In February 2001, the Company executed a loan agreement with a bank for a revolving credit and two irrevocable letters of credit issued in conjunction with the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds, totaling $4,000,000 and $3,065,000, respectively. In October 2003 the Company entered into an amended credit agreement whereby the $4,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan Facility was reduced to $3,500,000 and $500,000 was placed in a cash collateral account and pledged as additional collateral against the revolving credit line. At September 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $275,078 available under the revolving credit. Advances under the revolving credit are used for working capital purposes. These credit agreements contain covenants that include the submission of specified financial information and the maintenance of insurance coverage for the pledged assets during the term of the loans. The covenants also include the maintenance of a certain consolidated fixed debt service coverage ratio, ratio of total consolidated liabilities to consolidated tangible net worth, and minimum working capital. At September 30, 2004 the Company was in compliance with these covenants. 7 As of September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 the Company maintained restricted cash balances of $250,000, which was not available for operating purposes. On December 15, 2004 the Company entered into an amended agreement whereby the non-compliance was waived and new financial covenants were negotiated through June 30, 2005, which reflect the Company's current operating projections. As part of the amended agreement, the Company's Chief Executive Officer was required to execute a limited personal guarantee in the amount of $3,000,000. 7. COLLEGEVILLE INN On September 8, 2004 the Company entered into an agreement of sale for the land adjacent to its Collegeville Inn Conference & Training Center. The agreement provides for an initial deposit of $10,000 within ten days of the effective date of the agreement, with additional deposits of $50,000 and $25,000 payable to the Company upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, zoning approvals. The deposits are non-refundable upon the end of a 120-day inspection period, which commenced on the date the buyer received a fully executed original of the agreement of sale. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement of sale, the Company may realize gross proceeds of not less than $1,710,000. However, the Company may realize gross proceeds in excess of $1,710,000, if the buyer is able to maximize the yield of the property. The agreement of sale provides that settlement occur within twenty-four months of the date of the agreement, however, upon payment of additional deposits, settlement may be extended an additional twelve months. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company plans on using the proceeds to retire a proportional amount of outstanding debt associated with the parcel of land. There can be no assurance that the sale of this land will be completed in accordance with the terms of the agreement of sale. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, the adequacy of the Company's cash from operations, existing balances and available credit line. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, results of operations of Collegeville Inn Conference & Training Center, the sale of land adjacent to the Collegeville Inn discussed in Note 7 - Collegeville Inn, and the outcome of the Company's litigation discussed in Note 4 - Litigation. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were $6,769,547, an increase of $62,693 or 0.9% compared to revenues of $6,706,854 in the corresponding quarter last year. This increase is primarily due to the net impact of revenues from new contracts versus revenues from lost contracts as well as increases in contract rates in the normal course of business. Cost of operations provided for the current quarter was $5,466,235, compared to $5,393,520 for similar expenses in the same period last year, an increase of $72,715 or 1.3%. The increase is primarily due to higher revenues during the period as well as inflationary price, wage and expense increases. In addition there were payroll and related costs for new contracts. Gross Profit for the current quarter was $1,303,312, or 19.3% of gross revenue, compared to $1,313,334, or 19.6% of gross revenue, for the same period last year, a decrease of $10,022 or 0.8%. The decrease is due to an increase in cost of operations that exceeds the increase in revenues. General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $1,225,294 or 18.1% of revenue, compared to $1,176,840 or 17.5% of revenue for the same quarter last year, an increase of $48,454 or 4.1%. This increase is due to higher fixed costs within the general and administrative expenses including corporate overhead personnel. Provision for doubtful accounts for the quarter was $75,000 compared to $60,000 for the corresponding quarter last year. Interest expense for the three-month period totaled $58,660 compared to $45,184 for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense is a result of additional borrowings as well as an increase in interest rates. For the reasons stated above, net loss after taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $208,666 compared to $125,956 for the corresponding quarter last year. Net loss per share for the current quarter was $0.07 compared to net loss per share of $0.04 for the same quarter last year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2004 the Company had working capital of $535,014. OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Cash used in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $880,913 compared to $494,163 used by operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The current period's activity is primarily attributable to operating losses sustained in the current period as well as an increase in accounts receivable. INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Investing activities used $20,560 in cash in the current quarter compared to $12,199 in cash used in the same period last year. This was due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment. 9 FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Current quarter financing activities provided $293,753 in cash compared to $398,222 provided in the same period last year. CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company has certain credit facilities with its bank including a revolving credit facility of $3,500,000. At September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the Company had $275,078 and $653,078, respectively, available under its revolving credit. The Company has pledged a $250,000 certificate of deposit as additional collateral against the revolving line of credit. In November 2004, the Company entered into an agreement whereby its credit loan facility was extended to December 31, 2005. The loan facility contains certain covenants that include maintenance of certain financial ratios, maintenance of minimum levels of working capital as well as affirmative and negative covenants. On December 15, 2004 the Company entered into an amended agreement whereby new financial covenants were negotiated through June 30, 2005, which reflect the Company's current operating projections. As part of the amended agreement, the Company's Chief Executive Officer was required to execute a limited personal guarantee in the amount of $3,000,000. The Company is current with all its obligations to its bank and on its bonds and has met all financial covenants in its loan documents. The Company issued two series of Industrial Revenue Bonds totaling $3,560,548 in December 1996. The outstanding balance on the bonds was $2,675,000 as of September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004.

In addition, the Company anticipates the sale of certain land adjacent to its Collegeville facility that it believes will net cash proceeds of not less than $1,710,000. In an effort to extend its current bank debt, the Company may seek to access the public equity market whenever conditions are favorable, even if the Company does not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. Any additional funding may result in significant dilution and could involve the issuance of securities with rights, which are senior to those of existing stockholders. The Company may also need additional funding earlier than anticipated, and our cash requirements, in general, may vary materially from those now planned, for reasons including, but not limited to, competitive advances and higher than anticipated revenues from operations. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies include those described below. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is generated primarily from fees for food service management and facilities management at continuing care and health care facilities and the Collegeville Inn restaurant. Revenue is recognized when services are performed. Ongoing assessments of the credit worthiness of customers provide the Company reasonable assurance of collectibility upon performance of services. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company's expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. During Fiscal 2004, due to the passage of time, the Company made a decision to increase the provision for doubtful accounts with respect to certain delinquent customers. 11 IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG LIVED ASSETS The carrying value of property, plant, and equipment is evaluated based upon current and anticipated undiscounted operating cash flows before debt service charges. An impairment is recognized when it is probable that such estimated future cash flows will be less than the carrying value of the assets. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the net carrying value and the fair value, which is estimated based upon anticipated undiscounted operating cash flows before debt service charges. Based upon a review of its long-lived assets, the Company did not recognize an impairment loss for the quarter ending September 30, 2004 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will not recognize an impairment loss on its long-lived assets in future periods. INCOME TAX ACCOUNTING The Company determines its provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits of tax loss and credit carryforwards are also recognized as deferred tax assets. When necessary, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent the Company concludes there is uncertainty as to their ultimate realization. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that the change is enacted. As of September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 the Company maintained a deferred tax asset of $1,623,841. The Company has not provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets after consideration of a future gain on the disposal of certain land adjacent to its Collegeville facility and anticipated future profitable operating results. However, the amount realizable may be reduced if future taxable income is reduced or is insufficient to utilize the entire deferred tax asset. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES The Company has no other material commitments for capital expenditures and believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and available revolving credit will be sufficient to satisfy the needs of its operations and its capital commitments for the next twelve months. However, if the need arose, the Company would seek to obtain capital from such sources as continuing debt financing or equity financing. EFFECTS OF INFLATION Substantially all of the Company's agreements with its customers allow the Company to pass through to its customers its increases in the cost of labor, food and supplies. The Company believes that it will be able to recover increased costs attributable to inflation by continuing to pass through cost increases to its customers. 12 MEDICARE AND MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENTS A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is dependent upon the payment of its fees by customer health care facilities, which, in turn, are dependent upon third-party payers such as state governments, Medicare and Medicaid. Delays in payment by third party payers, particularly state and local governments, may lead to delays in collection of accounts receivable. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Manager have concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings None Item 2. Changes in Securities None Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None Item 5. Other Information As of January 6, 2005, the Company's Class A Common Stock was no longer eligible for continued quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") due to the Company's failure to file this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The Company's Class A Common Stock is currently traded on the pink sheets but the Company believes that after the filing of this Form 10-Q and assuming a broker/dealer files a Form 211, the Company's Class A Common Stock will be eligible for Quotation on the OTCBB. The fact that the Company's Class A Common Stock is not currently eligible for quotation on the OTCBB may negatively impact the liquidity of the Class A Common Stock. The Company believes it has adopted the appropriate measures to ensure that its future filings will be made on a timely basis. Item 6.
