PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Res-Care, Inc. (the Company) is a leading provider of residential,
training, educational and support services to populations with special needs,
including persons with developmental and other disabilities and at-risk and
troubled youths. The services provided by the Company have historically been
provided by state and local government agencies and not-for-profit
organizations. In recent years, service delivery has shifted from government
agencies toward private organizations, both not-for-profit and for-profit. The
Company's programs include an array of services provided in both residential and
non-residential settings for adults and youths with mental retardation or other
developmental disabilities (MR/DD) and disabilities caused by acquired brain
injury (ABI), and youths who have special educational or support needs, are from
disadvantaged backgrounds, or have severe emotional disorders. Some have entered
the juvenile justice system. Because most of the Company's MR/DD consumers
require services over their entire lives and many states have extensive waiting
lists for services, the Company has experienced high occupancy rates in its
MR/DD operations. Occupancy rates in ABI and youth services operations, although
generally high, are affected by shorter lengths of stay.
The Company has experienced significant growth since 1993 in numbers of
persons served, revenues and operating income. As a result of a combination of
strategic acquisitions and internal growth, the Company provided services to
approximately 20,400 persons with special needs in 30 states and Puerto Rico at
December 31, 1998 compared to approximately 4,500 persons at December 31, 1993,
representing a five-year compound annual growth rate of approximately 35%. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company provided services to approximately 12,000 persons
with disabilities in larger facilities, group homes, personal residences and
other community-based programs, and to approximately 8,400 at-risk and troubled
youths in federally-funded Job Corps centers and juvenile treatment programs and
facilities operated for state and local agencies. Effective February 1, 1999,
the Company was awarded the contract to operate the Treasure Island Job Corps
center in California serving approximately 850 students.
There is a growing trend throughout the United States toward
privatization of service delivery functions for special needs populations as
governments at all levels face continuing pressure to control costs and improve
the quality of programs. The markets for services for special needs populations
in the United States are large, growing and highly fragmented as evidenced by
the following industry estimates:
- Recent studies indicate that more than three million persons in
the United States have some level of developmental disability to
the extent that professional services are required throughout
their lives;
- Funding for MR/DD services approximates $24 billion annually;
- Over 4,000 providers operate MR/DD facilities and programs;
- The $60 billion domestic youth services industry is growing at an
annual rate of 9%;
- The juvenile population is expected to grow 20% from 14 million in
1994 to 17 million in 2005 and 31% by the year 2010;
- The number of juvenile arrests increased 100% between 1985 and
1994 and the number of juvenile male offenders tripled during the
same period;
- From 1985 to 1996, the number of persons arrested for violent
crimes increased 57%, while the number of persons under the age of
18 arrested for violent crimes rose 75%;
- 19% of all persons arrested are juveniles. In 1996, more than
three million child abuse reports were made according to state
child protection agencies; and
- Most of the estimated 6,000 residential youth services providers
are small and operate in limited geographic areas.
The Company believes it has significant opportunities to participate in
the growth and consolidation of these markets because of its proven programs and
operating systems, its financial strength, the economies of scale it can achieve
and its experience working with special needs populations and governmental
agencies.

The Company strives to provide quality and caring services through the
operation of efficient and flexible programs. To achieve this goal, the
Company's business strategy is based upon the following key elements; (i)
continuing to expand upon the Company's leadership position as a provider of
disabilities services; (ii) leveraging the Company's experience of over 20 years
in providing training and support services for disadvantaged youths and other
special needs populations to become a leading provider of services to at-risk
and troubled youths; (iii) focusing on quality management of existing programs
through models of ongoing program evaluation developed by the Company; and (iv)
implementing and maintaining high quality, cost-effective alternatives to
programs operated directly by governmental entities and private agencies by
providing proven management systems and procedures that assure efficient
application of financial and human resources.
The Company's growth strategy is to: (i) pursue acquisitions; (ii) add
programs and expand its existing programs in markets in which it currently
operates; and (iii) expand into additional geographic areas in the United
States. The markets for the Company's services are highly fragmented, and the
Company believes that there are significant opportunities to enhance its market
positions through steady internal growth and an active acquisition program in
the disabilities and at-risk and troubled youth sectors that will enable the
Company to expand its operations into new geographic areas, add program
offerings and establish new relationships with governmental entities. The
Company believes it has developed a disciplined approach to acquisitions which
focuses on acquiring generally profitable operations in favorable reimbursement
environments which: (i) expand service offerings; (ii) increase market share in
existing markets; or (iii) help attain critical mass in new markets. As part of
its internal growth strategy, the Company strives to build upon its established
relationships with governmental entities to expand its current programs and
obtain contracts for additional programs in new and existing markets, and to
develop new programs in response to societal trends and the needs of
governmental agencies. The Company also intends to expand its programs to
additional geographic areas which management identifies as having favorable
reimbursement and operating environments.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES BY SEGMENT
The Company has three reportable operating segments: (i) disabilities
services; (ii) Job Corps program; and (iii) other youth services programs. A
description of services provided by each segment follows. Further information
regarding each of these segments, including the required disclosure of certain
financial information, is included in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company. Such disclosures are incorporated herein by
reference and should be read in conjunction with this Item.
Disabilities Services
The Company began providing service to persons with disabilities in
1978 through the operation and management of larger facilities (generally
serving 40 or more individuals) that offered alternatives to placement in state
institutions or traditional nursing homes or other long-term care facilities not
capable of providing specialized active treatment required by these individuals.
In 1983, the Company began offering services through community-based group homes
(generally serving up to eight individuals) and, in 1992, through supported
living programs in which persons with disabilities reside in their own
residences or apartments with outside support provided as needed. Some of these
individuals require 24-hour staffing while others need only drop-in services,
day programs, supported employment or transportation. Community-based settings
enable persons with developmental or other disabilities to live and develop in
an environment that encourages each person to achieve maximum independence and
self-respect. Nearly 90% of the Company's clients with developmental
disabilities are being served in community-based settings. The Company's service
patterns to clients with ABI are similar to those with developmental
disabilities.
The Company's programs are based predominantly on individual
habilitation plans designed to encourage greater independence and development of
daily living skills through individualized support and training. Management
believes that the breadth and quality of the Company's services and support and
training programs makes the Company attractive to state and local governmental
agencies and not-for-profit providers who may wish to contract with it. The
Company's programs are designed to offer specialized support to these
individuals not generally available in larger state institutions and traditional
long-term care facilities. In each of the Company's programs, services are
administered by Company employees and contractors, such as qualified mental
retardation professionals (QMRPs) or service coordinators, physicians,
psychologists, therapists, social workers and other
2
4
direct service staff. These services include social, functional and vocational
skills training, supported employment and emotional and psychological counseling
or therapy as needed for each individual.
Social Skills Training. The Company's social skills training
focuses on problem solving, anger management and adaptive skills to
allow individuals with disabilities to interact with others in the
residential setting and in the community. Emphasis is placed on contact
with the community at large as appropriate for each individual. The
desired outcome is to enable each individual to participate in home,
family and community life as fully as possible.
Many individuals with developmental and other disabilities
require behavioral intervention services. The Company provides these
services through psychiatrists, psychologists and behavioral
specialists, some of whom serve as consultants on a contract basis. All
operations utilize a non-aversive approach to behavior management which
has been pioneered by the Company and which is designed to avoid
consequences involving punishment or extreme restrictions on individual
rights. Behavior management techniques are employed by the
interdisciplinary team and direct service staff rather than
psychotropic medications to modify behavior, the goal being to minimize
the use of medications whenever possible. When necessary, medications
are handled in strict compliance with federal regulations.
Functional Skills Training. The Company's functional skills
training program encourages mastery of personal skills and the
achievement of greater independence. As needed, individual habilitation
plans may focus on basic skills training in such areas as personal
hygiene and dressing, as well as more complex activities such as
shopping and use of public transportation. Individuals are encouraged
to participate in daily activities such as housekeeping and meal
preparation as appropriate.
Vocational Skills Training and Day Programs. The Company
provides extensive vocational training or specialized day programs for
all individuals served. Some individuals are able to be placed in
community-based jobs, either independently or with job coaches, or may
participate as part of a work team contracted for a specific service
such as cleaning, sorting or maintenance. Clients not working in the
community may be served through vocational workshops or day programs
appropriate for their needs. The Company operates such programs and
also contracts for this service with outside providers. The Company's
philosophy is to enable all persons served to perform productive work
in the community or otherwise develop vocational skills based on their
individual abilities. Clients participating in specialized day programs
may be older or have physical or health restrictions which prevent them
from being employed or participating in vocational programs.
Specialized day programs may include further training in daily living
skills, community integration or specialized recreation activities.
Counseling and Therapy Programs. The Company's counseling and
therapy programs address the physical, emotional and behavioral
challenges of individuals with MR/DD or ABI. Goals of the programs
include the development of enhanced physical agility and ambulation,
acquisition of adaptive skills for both personal care and work, as well
as the development of coping skills and the use of alternative,
responsible, and socially acceptable interpersonal behaviors.
Individualized counseling programs may include group and individual
therapies. Occupational and physical therapies and therapeutic
recreation are provided based on the assessed needs of the individual.
At each of its operations, the Company provides comprehensive
individualized support and training programs that encourage greater independence
and the development of personal and vocational skills commensurate with the
particular individual's capabilities. As the individual progresses, new programs
are created to encourage greater independence, self-respect and the development
of additional personal or vocational skills.
Job Corps Program
Since 1976, the Company has been operating programs for disadvantaged
youths through the federal Job Corps program administered by the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL), which provides for the educational and vocational skills
training, health care, employment counseling and other support necessary to
enable disadvantaged youths to become responsible working adults.
3
5
As of February 28, 1999, the Company operated 14 Job Corps centers with
a contracted capacity of approximately 7,600 persons. The Job Corps program is
designed to address the severe unemployment problem faced by disadvantaged
youths throughout the country. The typical Job Corps student is a 16- to 24-year
old high school dropout who reads at the seventh grade level, comes from a
disadvantaged background, has not held a regular job, and was living in an
environment characterized by a troubled home life or other disruptive
conditions. Each center offers training in several vocational areas depending
upon the particular needs and job market opportunities in the region. Students
are required to participate in basic education classes to improve their academic
skills and to complement their vocational training. High school equivalency
classes are available to obtain GED certificates. Upon graduation or other
departure from the program, each student is referred to the nearest Job Corps
placement agency for assistance in finding a job or enrolling in a school or
training program. Approximately 70% of the students completing the program have
obtained jobs or continued their education elsewhere.
The Company also provides certain administrative, counseling,
education, vocational and other support services for two Job Corps centers
located in Kentucky and West Virginia under a five-year contract with the
Department of Interior expiring in 2003.
Other Youth Services Programs
In December 1995, the Company began a strategic initiative to expand
its Division for Youth Services beyond the Job Corps program and develop
services that are designed to address the specific needs of at-risk and troubled
youths to enable each youth to be a more productive member of the community. The
youths targeted to be served through the strategic initiative range from youths
who have special educational or support needs, to youths who exhibit a variety
of behavioral and emotional disorders and in some instances have been diagnosed
with mental retardation or other developmental disability, to pre-adjudicated
and adjudicated youths who have entered the juvenile justice system. Special
needs and at-risk youth programs operated through the Company's Alternative
Youth Services (AYS) subsidiary include residential treatment programs, the
operation of alternative schools, foster care programs and emergency shelters.
The Company plans to continue to expand the services provided to these youths.
Programs offered for troubled youths through the Company's Youthtrack, Inc.
(Youthtrack) subsidiary include secure and staff-secure detention programs, boot
camps, long-term treatment programs, secure transportation, day treatment
programs and monitoring, and transition and after-care programs.
The Company's programs include a variety of educational and vocational
training programs and comprehensive programs for behavior change, including
individual, group and family counseling and training in social and independent
living skills. These programs emphasize self-esteem, academic enhancement,
empathy development, critical thinking and problem solving, anger management and
coping strategies, substance abuse treatment and relapse prevention. Programs
are designed to: (i) increase self-control and effective problem-solving; (ii)
teach youths how to understand and consider other people's values, behaviors and
feelings; (iii) show youths how to recognize the effects of their behavior on
other people and why others respond to them as they do; and (iv) enable youths
to develop alternative, responsible, interpersonal behaviors. Although certain
youths in the Company's programs require both drug therapy and treatment for use
or abuse of drugs, the Company's goal is to minimize or eliminate the use of
medication whenever possible. When appropriate, medication is prescribed by
independent physicians and may be administered by Company personnel. Management
believes that the breadth of the Company's services and its history of working
with youths make the Company attractive to local, state and federal governmental
agencies.
OPERATIONS
Disabilities Services
Disabilities services operations are under the direct supervision of
the Company's Executive Vice President, Operations, Division for Persons with
Disabilities, who is responsible for five geographic regions, each headed by a
Regional Vice President, and for ABI operations nationally, headed by a Senior
Vice President . Each Vice President supervises the regional directors and/or
administrators responsible for the various MR/DD or ABI facilities and programs
under his or her control. In general, each cluster of group homes, supported
living program or larger facility is overseen by an administrator. In addition,
a program manager supervises a comprehensive team
4
6
of professionals and community-based consultants who participate in the design
and implementation of individualized programs for each individual served. QMRPs
work with direct service staff and professionals involved in the programs to
ensure that quality standards are met and that progress towards each
individual's goals and objectives is monitored and outcomes are achieved.
Individual habilitation plans are reviewed and modified by the team as needed.
The operations utilize community advisory boards and consumer satisfaction
surveys to solicit input from professionals, family members and advocates, as
well as from the neighboring community, on how to continue to improve service
delivery and increase involvement with the neighborhood or community.
The Company's direct service staff have the most frequent contact with,
and generally are recruited from, the community in which the facility or program
is located. These staff members are screened to meet certain qualification
requirements and receive orientation, training and continuing education.
The provision of disabilities services is subject to complex and
substantial state and federal regulation and the Company strives to ensure that
its internal controls and reporting systems comply with Medicaid reimbursement
and other program requirements, policies and guidelines. The Company designs and
implements programs, often in coordination with appropriate state agencies, in
order to assist the state in meeting its objectives and to facilitate the
efficient delivery of quality services. Management and personnel resources are
devoted to keeping abreast of new laws, regulations and policy directives
affecting the quality and reimbursement of the services provided. In addition,
the Company believes it has developed expertise in accurately monitoring
eligibility for Medicaid and other benefits and in processing reimbursement
claims.
The Company has developed a model of ongoing program evaluation and
quality management which the Company believes provides critical feedback to
measure the quality of its various operations. Each operation conducts its own
quality assurance program, the Best in Class (BIC) performance benchmarking
system, which is reviewed by the responsible Regional Vice President. BIC
performance results are reviewed on a quarterly basis with the Executive Vice
President, Operations, Division for Persons with Disabilities. Management and
operational goals and objectives are established for each facility and program
as part of an annual budget and strategic planning process. A weekly statistical
reporting system and quarterly statement of progress provide management with
relevant and timely information on the operations of each facility. Survey
results from governmental agencies for each operation are recorded in a database
and quarterly summary reports are reviewed by senior management. The Company
believes the BIC system is a vital management tool to evaluate the quality of
its programs and has been useful as a marketing tool to promote the Company's
programs, since it provides more meaningful and significant data than is usually
provided by routine monitoring by governmental agencies. Beginning in 1999, all
disabilities services senior staff will convert to a performance-based
management system which evaluates individual performance based on critical job
function outcomes.
Job Corps Program
Job Corps centers are under the direct supervision of the President,
Job Corps Operations, who supervises the center directors responsible for the
various centers. The Company's Job Corps centers are operated under contract
with the DOL which provides the physical plant and equipment. The Company is
directly responsible for the management, staffing and administration of Job
Corps centers. A typical Res-Care Job Corps operation consists of a three-tier
management staff structure. The center director has the overall responsibility
for day-to-day management at each facility and is assisted by several senior
staff managers who typically are responsible for academics, vocational training,
social skills, safety and security, health services and behavior management.
Managers are assisted by front line supervisors who have specific
responsibilities for such areas as counseling, food services, maintenance,
finance, residential life, recreation, property, purchasing, human resources and
transportation.
An outcome performance measurement report for each center, issued by
the DOL monthly, measures three primary categories of performance: (i) placement
of graduates; (ii) education results, as measured by GED achievement and reading
and math gains; and (iii) the number of students completing a prescribed
vocational curriculum to make a student job-ready. These are then combined into
an overall performance rating. Centers are ranked as either "Not Meeting
Expectations," "Meeting Expectations" or "Outstanding." Performance standards
reports are reviewed by center directors and the President, Job Corps
Operations, and acted upon as appropriate to
5
7
address areas where improvement is needed. At December 31, 1998, all centers
operated by the Company received evaluations of either "Meeting Expectations" or
"Outstanding".
Other Youth Services Programs
Other youth services operations are under the direct supervision of the
Company's Executive Vice President Operations for Youthtrack and AYS, who
supervises the Vice Presidents of Youthtrack and AYS. They in turn supervise the
Executive Directors and Administrators responsible for the various facilities or
programs.
The Company's youth programs are designed to provide consistent, high
quality and cost-effective education and treatment to address the needs of the
various segments of the special needs, at-risk and troubled youth populations.
The Company generally is responsible for the overall operation of its facilities
and programs, including management, general administration, staff recruitment,
security and supervision of the youth in their programs.
The Company has assembled an experienced team of managers, counselors
and staff that blends program expertise with business and financial experience.
The Company believes that its recruitment, selection and training programs
generate sufficient personnel capable of implementing the Company's systems and
procedures as it expands this segment of its business. The Company's staff
includes teachers, counselors, mental health professionals, juvenile justice
administrators and licensed clinicians.
The Company's internal policies require its teachers, counselors,
security and other direct service staff to complete extensive training. Core
training includes courses in the major Company program components, such as
behavior change education, positive peer culture, nonviolent crisis
intervention, discipline and limit-setting, anger management and social skills
training. Continuing education also is required for all staff. The Company
demonstrates its commitment to its employees' professional development by
offering classes and training programs, as well as tuition reimbursement
benefits.
The Company has also implemented its BIC system at the majority of its
youth services programs and expects to complete implementation of the Company's
remaining programs during 1999.
The Company recognizes that, in the operation of programs for at-risk
and troubled youths, a primary mission is to protect the safety of the community
within a facility, as well as the neighboring community. Thus, the Company's
programs emphasize security, risk assessment and close supervision by
responsible and well-trained staff.

CONTRACTS
State Contracts. Contracts for participation as a provider of services
in the Medicaid programs are regulated by federal and state agencies. Although
the contracts have a stated term of one year and generally may be terminated
without cause on 60 days notice, the contracts are typically renewed annually if
the Company has complied with licensing, certification, program standards and
other regulatory requirements. Serious deficiencies can result in delicensure or
decertification actions by these agencies. As provider of record, the Company
contractually obligates itself to adhere to the applicable federal and state
regulations regarding the provision of services, the maintenance of records and
submission of claims for reimbursement under the Medicaid Assistance Program,
Title XIX of the Social Security Act and pertinent state medical assistance
programs. Pursuant to provider agreements, the Company agrees to accept the
payment received from the government entity as payment in full for the services
administered to the individuals and to provide the government entity with
information regarding the owners and managers of the Company, as well as to
comply with requests and audits of information pertaining to the services
rendered. Provider agreements can be terminated at any time for non-compliance
with the federal, state or local regulations. Reimbursement methods vary by
state and are typically based on a flat-rate or cost-based reimbursement system
on a per person, per diem basis. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements."

10
Contracts for the Company's youth services programs, excluding Job
Corps, are regulated by state and local governmental entities. Contracts
generally have one-year terms, subject to annual renewal, or cover individuals
for specific terms. The contract rate is also accepted as payment in full for
services rendered.
Management Contracts. Management contracts with states, local agencies
or other providers of record typically call for the Company to manage the
day-to-day operations of facilities or programs. Many of these contracts are
short-term (generally one year in duration) and are subject to renewal or
re-negotiation provided that program standards and regulatory requirements are
met. Depending upon the state's reimbursement policies and practices, management
contracts provide fees to the Company computed on the basis of a fixed fee per
individual (which may include some form of incentive payment), a percentage of
operating expenses (cost-plus contracts), a percentage of revenue or an overall
fixed fee paid regardless of occupancy. Historically, the Company's Medicaid
provider contracts and management contracts have been renewed or satisfactorily
renegotiated. The Company believes its experience in this regard is consistent
with the overall experience of other operators in the disabilities services
business.
Job Corps Contracts. Contracts for Job Corps centers are awarded
pursuant to a rigorous bid process. After successfully bidding, the Company
operates the Job Corps centers under comprehensive contracts negotiated with the
DOL. Under Job Corps contracts, the Company is reimbursed for all facility and
program costs related to Job Corps center operations and allowable indirect
costs for general and administrative expenses, plus a predetermined management
fee, normally a fixed percentage of facility and program expense.
The contracts cover a five-year period, consisting of an initial
two-year term with three one-year renewal terms exercisable at the option of the
DOL. The contracts specify that the decision to exercise an option is based on
an assessment of: (i) the performance of the center as compared to its budget;
(ii) compliance with federal, state and local regulations; (iii) qualitative
assessments of center life, education, outreach efforts and placement record;
and (iv) the overall rating received by the center. Shortly prior to the
expiration of the five-year contract period (or earlier if the DOL elects not to
exercise a renewal term), the contract is re-bid, regardless of the operator's
performance. The current operator may participate in the re-bidding process. In
situations where the DOL elects not to exercise a renewal term, however, it is
unlikely that the current operator will be successful in the re-bidding process.
It is the Company's experience that there is usually an inverse correlation
between the performance ratings of the current operator and the number of
competitors who will participate in the re-bidding process, with relatively
fewer competitors expected where such performance ratings are high.
As of February 28, 1999, the Company operated 14 Job Corps centers
under contract with the DOL in South Bronx, New York, New York; Miami, Florida;
Edison, New Jersey; Puerto Rico (3); Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Monroe, Virginia;
Guthrie, Oklahoma; Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona; Marion, Virginia; Morganfield,
Kentucky and San Francisco, California. Of the five-year periods covered by the
Company's Job Corps contracts, two expire in 1999, seven in 2000, one in 2001,
one in 2002, one in 2003 and two in 2004. The Company intends to selectively
pursue additional centers through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
The Company also provides certain administrative, counseling,
education, vocational and other support services for two Job Corps centers
located in Kentucky and West Virginia under a five-year contract with the
Department of Interior expiring in 2003.
MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT
The primary focus of the Company's marketing activities is identifying
other providers who may consider an acquisition or a management contract
arrangement, and contacting state and local governments and governmental
agencies responsible for the provision of the types of disabilities services and
youth services offered by the Company.
The Executive Vice President responsible for the Company's development
department directs the Company's marketing efforts for disabilities services and
youth services, excepting Job Corps. Responsibility for marketing activities
also extend to other officers of the Company and its subsidiaries including the
Executive Vice President, Operations, Division for Persons with Disabilities,
the Executive Vice President, Operations for
9
11
Youthtrack and AYS, the President, Job Corps Operations, and the various
regional or unit operational personnel. Marketing activities are reviewed on a
regular basis by senior management.
In its pursuit of government contracts, the Company contacts
governments and governmental agencies in geographical areas in which it operates
and in others in which it has identified expansion potential. Contacts are made
and maintained by both regional operations personnel and corporate development
personnel, augmented as appropriate by other senior management. The Company
targets new areas based largely on its assessment of the need for its services,
the system of reimbursement, the receptivity to out-of-state and proprietary
operators, expected changes in the service delivery system (i.e., privatization
or downsizing), the labor climate and existing competition.
The Company also seeks to identify service needs or possible changes in
the service delivery or reimbursement system of governmental entities that may
be driven by changes in administrative philosophy, budgetary considerations,
pressure or legal actions brought by advocacy groups. As needs or possible
changes are identified, the Company attempts to work with and provide input to
the responsible governmental personnel and to work with provider associations
and consumer advocacy groups to this end. If an RFP results from this process,
the Company then determines whether and on what terms it will respond and
participate in the competitive process.
With regard to identifying other providers who may be acquisition or
management contract candidates, the Company attempts to establish relationships
with providers through presentations at national and local conferences,
membership in national and local provider associations, direct contact by mail,
telephone or personal visits and follow up with information packets including
video presentations.
In some cases, the Company may be contacted directly and requested to
submit proposals or become a provider in order to provide services to address
specific problems. These may include an emergency takeover of a troubled
operation or the need to develop a large number of community placements within a
certain time period.
REFERRAL SOURCES
The Company receives substantially all of its MR/DD clients from third
party referrals. Generally, family members of persons with MR/DD are made aware
of available residential or alternative living arrangements through a state or
local case management system. Case management systems are operated by
governmental or private agencies. The Company's ABI services receive referrals
from doctors, hospitals, private and workers' compensation insurers and
attorneys. In either case, where it is determined that some form of MR/DD or ABI
service is appropriate, a referral of one or more providers of such services is
then made to family members or other interested parties. The Company generally
receives referrals or placements of individuals to its AYS and Youthtrack
programs through state or local agencies or entities responsible for such
services. Individuals are recruited to the Company's Job Corps programs largely
through private contractors. The Company also has contracts directly with the
DOL to recruit students to its own centers. The Company's reputation and prior
experience with agency staff, case workers and others in positions to make
referrals to the Company are important for building and maintaining census in
the Company's operations.
COMPETITION
The provision of disabilities services and youth services is subject to
a number of competitive factors, including range and quality of services
provided, cost-effectiveness, reporting and regulatory expertise, reputation in
the community, and the location and appearance of facilities and programs. These
markets are highly fragmented, with no single company or entity holding a
dominant market share. The Company competes with other for-profit companies,
not-for-profit entities and governmental agencies.
With regard to disabilities services, individual states remain a major
provider of MR/DD services, primarily through the operation of large
institutions. Not-for-profit organizations are also active in all states and
range from small agencies serving a limited area with specific programs to
multi-state organizations. Many of these organizations are affiliated with
advocacy and sponsoring groups such as community mental health and mental
retardation centers and religious organizations.
10
12
The other youth services business in which the Company engages is one
that other entities may easily enter without substantial capital investment or
experience in management of education or treatment facilities. In addition,
certain not-for-profit entities may offer education and treatment programs at a
lower cost than the Company due in part to government subsidies, foundation
grants, tax deductible contributions or other financial resources not available
to for-profit companies.
Currently, only a limited number of companies actively seek Job Crops
contracts because the bidding process is highly specialized and technical and
requires a significant investment of personnel and other resources over a period
of several months. Approximately one-half of the privately-operated centers are
operated by the three largest operators. Competition for Job Corps contracts has
increased as the DOL has made efforts to encourage new participants in the
program, particularly minority-owned businesses.
Certain proprietary competitors operate in multiple jurisdictions and
may be well capitalized. The Company also competes in some markets with smaller
local companies that may have a better understanding of the local conditions and
may be better able to gain political and public acceptance. Such competition may
adversely affect the Company's ability to obtain new contracts and complete
acquisitions on favorable terms. The Company faces significant competition from
all of these providers in the states in which it now operates and expects to
face similar competition in any state that it may enter in the future.
Professional staff retention and development is a critical factor in
the successful operation of the Company's business. The competition for talented
professional personnel, such as therapists and QMRPs, is intense. The Company
typically utilizes a standard professional service agreement for provision of
services by certain professional personnel, which is generally terminable on 30
or 60-day notice. The demands of providing the requisite quality of service to
persons with special needs contribute to a high turnover rate of direct service
staff. Consequently, a high priority is placed on recruiting, training and
retaining competent and caring personnel.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND REIMBURSEMENT
The operations of the Company are subject to compliance with various
federal, state and local statutes and regulations. Compliance with state
licensing requirements is a prerequisite for participation in
government-sponsored health care assistance programs, such as Medicaid. The
following sets forth in greater detail certain regulatory considerations
applicable to the Company:
Funding Levels. Federal and state funding for the Company's
disabilities services business is subject to statutory and regulatory changes,
administrative rulings, interpretations of policy, intermediary determinations
and governmental funding restrictions, all of which may materially increase or
decrease program reimbursement. Congress has historically attempted to curb the
growth of federal funding of such programs, including limitations on payments to
facilities under the Medicaid program. Although states in general have
historically increased rates to compensate for inflationary factors, some have
curtailed funding due to state budget deficiencies or for other reasons. In
several such instances providers, acting through their state health care trade
associations, have been able to negotiate or employ legal action in order to
reach a compromise settlement. Revenues in the future may be affected by changes
in rate-setting structures, methodologies or interpretations that may be
proposed or under consideration in states where the Company operates.
Reimbursement Requirements. To qualify for reimbursement under Medicaid
programs, facilities and programs are subject to various requirements of
participation and other requirements imposed by federal and state authorities.
In order to maintain a Medicaid or state contract, certain statutory and
regulatory requirements must be met. These participation requirements relate to
client rights, quality of services, physical plant and administration. Long-term
providers, like the Company, are subject to periodic unannounced inspection by
state authorities, often under contract with the appropriate federal agency, to
ensure compliance with the requirements of participation in the Medicaid or
state program.
Licensure. In addition to the requirements to be met by the Company for
participation in the Medicaid program, the Company's facilities and programs are
usually subject to annual licensing and other regulatory requirements of state
and local authorities. These requirements relate to the condition of the
facilities, the quality
11
13
and adequacy of personnel and the quality of services. State licensing and other
regulatory requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and are subject
to change.
Regulatory Enforcement. From time to time, the Company receives notices
from regulatory inspectors that in their opinion there are deficiencies for
failure to comply with various regulatory requirements. The Company reviews such
notices and takes corrective action as appropriate. In most cases, the Company
and the reviewing agency agree upon the steps to be taken to bring the facility
or program into compliance with regulatory requirements, and from time to time,
the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries may enter into agreements with
regulatory agencies requiring the Company to take certain corrective action in
order to maintain licensure. Serious deficiencies, or failure to comply with any
regulatory agreement, may result in decertification or delicensure actions by
the Health Care Financing Administration or state regulatory agencies, as
appropriate.
Restrictions on Acquisitions and Additions. All states in which the
Company currently operates have adopted laws or regulations which generally
require that a state agency approve the Company as provider, and many require a
determination that a need exists prior to the addition of beds or services.
Cross Disqualifications and Delicensure. In certain circumstances,
conviction of abusive or fraudulent behavior with respect to one facility or
program may subject other facilities and programs under common control or
ownership to disqualification from participation in the Medicaid program.
Executive Order 12549 prohibits any corporation or facility from participating
in federal contracts if it or its principals (including but not limited to
officers, directors, owners and key employees) have been debarred, suspended, or
declared ineligible, or have been voluntarily excluded from participating in
federal contracts. In addition, some state regulators provide that all
facilities licensed with a state under common ownership or control are subject
to delicensure if any one or more of such facilities are delicensed.
Regulation of Certain Transactions. The Social Security Act, as amended
by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (the "Health
Insurance Act"), provides for the mandatory exclusion of providers and related
persons from participation in the Medicaid program if the individual or entity
has been convicted of a criminal offense related to the delivery of an item or
service under the Medicaid program or relating to neglect or abuse of residents.
Further, individuals or entities may be, but are not required to be, excluded
from the Medicaid program under certain circumstances including, but not limited
to, the following: convictions relating to fraud; obstruction of an
investigation of a controlled substance; license revocation or suspension;
exclusion or suspension from a state or federal health care program; filing
claims for excessive charges or unnecessary services or failure to furnish
medically necessary services; or ownership or control by an individual who has
been excluded from the Medicaid program, against whom a civil monetary penalty
related to the Medicaid program has been assessed, or who has been convicted of
a crime described in this paragraph. The illegal remuneration provisions of the
Social Security Act make it a felony to solicit, receive, offer to pay, or pay
any kickback, bribe, or rebate in return for referring a resident for any item
or service, or in return for purchasing, leasing or ordering any good, service
or item, for which payment may be made under the Medicaid program. Other
provisions in the Health Insurance Act proscribe false statements in billing and
in meeting reporting requirements and in representations made with respect to
the conditions or operations of facilities. A violation of the illegal
remuneration statute is a felony and may result in the imposition of criminal
penalties, including imprisonment for up to five years and/or a fine of up to
$25,000. Further, a civil action to exclude a provider from the Medicaid program
could occur. There are also other civil and criminal statutes applicable to the
industry, such as those governing false billings and anti-supplementation
restrictions and the new health care offenses contained in the Health Insurance
Act, such as health care fraud, theft or embezzlement, false statements and
obstruction of criminal investigation of health care offenses. Criminal
sanctions for these new health care criminal offenses can be severe. Sanctions
for health care fraud offense, for example, include imprisonment for up to 20
years. The agencies administering the Medicaid program have increased their
criminal and civil enforcement activity in the prevention of program fraud and
abuse, including the payment of illegal remuneration.
Environmental Laws. Certain federal and state laws govern the handling
and disposal of medical, infectious, and hazardous waste. Failure to comply with
those laws or the regulations promulgated under them could subject an entity
covered by these laws to fines, criminal penalties, and other enforcement
actions.
12
14
OSHA. Federal regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration impose additional requirements on the Company including
those protecting employees from exposure to elements such as bloodborne
pathogens. The Company cannot predict the frequency of compliance, monitoring,
or enforcement actions to which it may be subject as regulations are implemented
and there can be no assurance that such regulations will not adversely affect
the operations of the Company.
INSURANCE
The Company maintains professional malpractice and general liability
insurance on professionals and other staff employed in each of its locations in
addition to coverage for the customary risks inherent in the operation of
business in general. While the Company believes its insurance policies to be
adequate in amount and coverage for its current operations, there can be no
assurance that coverage will continue to be available in adequate amounts or at
a reasonable cost.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 18,500
employees. As of that date, the Company was subject to collective bargaining
agreements with approximately 250 of its employees. The Company has not
experienced any work stoppages and believes it has good relations with its
employees.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 1998, the Company owned 268 properties and operated
facilities and programs at 1,111 leased properties. All other facilities and
programs are operated under management contracts. The Company owns its corporate
office building which is located in Louisville, Kentucky, and has an aggregate
of 45,000 square feet of office space. See "Business - Facilities and Programs."
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company (or a provider with which the Company
has a management agreement) is a party to legal and/or administrative
proceedings involving state program administrators and others that, in the event
of unfavorable outcomes, may adversely affect revenues and period-to-period
comparisons. In addition, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings
encountered in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that many
of such legal proceedings are without merit. Further, such claims may be covered
by insurance. The Company does not believe the results of such proceedings or
litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Res-Care, Inc. (the Company) receives revenues primarily from the
delivery of residential, training, education and support services to populations
with special needs. The Company has three reportable operating segments: (i)
disabilities services; (ii) Job Corps program; and (iii) other youth services
programs. Management's discussion and analysis of each segment follows. Further
information regarding each of these segments, including the required disclosure
of certain segment financial information, is included in Note 9 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. Such disclosures are
incorporated herein by reference and should be read in conjunction with this
Item.
Revenues for the Company's disabilities services operations are derived
primarily from state government agencies under the Medicaid reimbursement system
and from management contracts with private operators, generally not-for-profit
providers, who contract with state government agencies and are also reimbursed
under the Medicaid system. Reimbursement methods vary by state and are typically
based on a flat rate or cost-based reimbursement system on a per person, per
diem basis. Generally, rates are adjusted annually based primarily upon
historical costs experienced by the Company and by other service providers, and
on inflation. At facilities and programs where it is the provider of record, the
Company is directly reimbursed under state Medicaid programs for services it
provides and such reimbursement is affected by occupancy levels. At most
facilities and programs that the Company operates pursuant to management
contracts, the management fee is negotiated based upon the reimbursement amount
expected to be earned by the provider of record, which is affected by occupancy
levels. Under certain management contracts, the Company is paid a fixed fee
regardless of occupancy levels. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for a further discussion of the Company's revenue recognition
policies with respect to Medicaid contracts.
As of February 28, 1999, the Company operated 14 vocational training
programs under the federal Job Corps program administered by the United States
Department of Labor (DOL). Under the Job Corps program, the Company is
reimbursed for direct costs related to Job Corps center operations and allowable
indirect costs for general and administrative expenses, plus a predetermined
management fee, normally a fixed percentage of facility and program expenses.
All of such amounts are reflected as revenue, and all such direct costs are
reflected as facility and program expenses. Final determination of amounts due
under Job Corps contracts is subject to audit and review by the DOL, and
renewals and extension of Job Corps contracts are based in part on performance
reviews.
In 1996, the Company began operating other programs for at-risk and
troubled youths through its Youthtrack, Inc. (Youthtrack) and Alternative Youth
Services (AYS) subsidiaries. Most of the youth services programs are funded
directly by federal, state and local government agencies including school
systems. Under these contracts, the Company is typically reimbursed based on
fixed contract amounts, flat rates or cost-based rates. In 1997 and 1996, the
effect of Youthtrack management's ownership interest is reflected in the
Company's consolidated statements of income as a minority interest. On January
1, 1998, the Company acquired through merger, the twenty-percent minority
interest in Youthtrack formerly held by members of its founding management.
Expenses incurred under federal, state and local government agency
contracts for disabilities services, Job Corps and other youth services, as well
as management contracts with providers of record for such agencies, are subject
to examination by agencies administering the contracts and services. Any
resulting adjustments would be recorded as contractual adjustments to revenues
in the period in which the adjustment is made. See Note 1 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's revenues and net income may fluctuate from quarter to
quarter, in part because annual Medicaid rate adjustments may be announced by
the various states inconsistently and are usually retroactive to the beginning
of the particular state's fiscal reporting period. The Company expects that
future adjustments in reimbursement rates in most states will consist primarily
of cost-of-living adjustments. However, in some cases states have revised their
rate-setting methodologies, which has resulted in rate decreases as well as rate
increases. Current initiatives at the federal or state level may materially
change the Medicaid system as it now exists. Retroactively calculated
contractual adjustments are estimated and accrued in the periods the related
services are rendered and recorded as adjustments in future periods as final
adjustments are received. Because the cumulative
16
18
effect of rate adjustments may differ from previously estimated amounts, net
income as a percentage of net revenues for a period in which an adjustment
occurs may not be indicative of expected results in succeeding periods. Revenues
in the future may be affected by changes in rate-setting structures,
methodologies or interpretations that may be proposed or are under consideration
in states where the Company operates. Also, some states have considered
initiating managed care plans for persons currently in Medicaid programs. At
this time, the Company cannot determine the impact of such changes, or the
effect of various federal initiatives that have been proposed.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
During 1998, the Company completed 20 acquisitions and added seven new
contracts representing programs and facilities serving approximately 8,100
individuals with special needs. In these transactions, the Company paid total
consideration of approximately $133 million (generally funded with advances
under the Company's credit facility) and issued $22.0 million principal amount
of 5.9% convertible subordinated notes in the acquisition of Normal Life, Inc.
(Normal Life).
As a result of these transactions and a full year of operations for
1997 acquisitions, the Company achieved record revenues and net income in 1998.
Total net revenues in 1998 increased 71%, or $216.6 million, to $522.7 million
compared to $306.1 million in 1997. Net income increased 50% over 1997. These
increases represent continued progress in the Company's efforts to improve
results by expanding operations and improving quality. The contribution each
segment made to this growth is discussed below.
Disabilities Services
Disabilities services net revenues increased 58%, or $142.1 million, to
$385.1 million in 1998 compared to $243.0 million in 1997. Revenues increased
primarily as a result of the acquisition of Normal Life in March 1998, in
addition to the other 1998 disabilities services acquisitions, as well as the
effects of a full year of operating results from programs added during 1997.
Disabilities services facility and program expenses in 1998 increased 57%, or
$118.5 million, to $327.5 million compared to $209.0 million in 1997. Of the
increase, $86.5 million, or 73%, was due to payroll and payroll-related expenses
associated primarily with the new facilities and programs that were operational
in 1998 compared to 1997. As a percentage of net revenues, disabilities services
facility and program expenses decreased from 86.0% in 1997 to 85.0% in 1998.
Overall segment profit increased 60% over 1997 due principally to the volume and
efficiencies achieved through the 1998 acquisitions. The increased profitability
was offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of 126%, or
$6.1 million, due to the acquisition of property, equipment and intangible
assets during the year.
Job Corps Program
Job Corps net revenues in 1998 increased 114%, or $53.1 million, to
$99.5 million compared to $46.4 million in 1997. Additionally, segment profit
increased 123%, or $5.9 million, from 1997 to 1998. The increases in both
revenues and profitability resulted primarily from the acquisition of five Job
Corps centers from Teledyne Economic Development in October 1997 and the
addition of the contract to manage the Earle C. Clements Job Corps Center
commencing in the second quarter of 1998. The annualized revenues from the Earle
C. Clements Job Corps Center are expected to approximate $30 million.
Other Youth Services Programs (Youthtrack and AYS)
Other youth services net revenues in 1998 increased 130%, or $21.5
million, to $38.1 million compared to $16.6 million in 1997. Revenues increased
primarily as a result of the effects of a full year of operating results from
programs added during 1997, as well as acquisitions during 1998. Segment profit
increased 147% from $1.6 million in 1997 to $4.0 million in 1998 also as a
result of the acquisitions and improvements realized in operations started
17
19
in 1997. The increased profitability was offset by an increase in depreciation
and amortization expense of 166%, or $800,000, due to the acquisition of
property, equipment and intangible assets during the year.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 61%, or $6.8
million, in 1998 compared to 1997. Payroll and payroll-related expenses
represented the majority of the increase due primarily to the addition of
support staff and increases in staff salaries. Corporate general and
administrative expenses in 1998 decreased as a percentage of total net revenues
to 3.4% from 3.7% in 1997.
Interest expense in 1998 increased $8.8 million to $11.3 million
compared to $2.5 million for 1997. The increase resulted primarily from interest
on the convertible subordinated notes issued in November and December 1997 (in a
financing) and March 1998 (in an acquisition) as well as borrowings under the
Company's credit facility. Interest income in 1998 increased $600,000 to $1.4
million from $800,000 for 1997. This increase was due primarily to interest
earned on the investment of proceeds from the issuance of the convertible
subordinated notes in November and December 1997.
Income taxes increased to $12.8 million in 1998 compared to $8.7
million in 1997, and reflect effective tax rates of 39.6% and 40.2%,
respectively.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
Total net revenues increased by 36%, or $81.8 million, to $306.1
million in 1997 compared to $224.3 million in 1996. Of the increase, 76%
resulted from increased disabilities services revenues. Facility and program
expenses increased 36%, or $70.2 million, to $265.0 million in 1997 compared to
1996. Of this increase, $51.7 million, or 74% was due to payroll and
payroll-related expenses. These expenses reflected additional personnel, and
other costs associated with new facilities and programs during the year, as well
as payroll and other cost increases. Facility and program expenses decreased as
a percentage of total revenues to 86.6% from 86.9% in 1996. This decrease was
due to the effect of the rate increases which are further described below and
improved operating efficiencies.
Disabilities Services
Disabilities services net revenues increased by 34%, or $61.8 million,
to $243.0 million in 1997 compared to 1996. Revenues increased primarily from
the acquisition of 11 operations and one management contract in 1997, the
opening of 39 new operations and supported living programs in 1997 and the
effects of a full year of operating results from programs added in 1996.
Revenues also increased due to certain cost-of-living and other rate
adjustments. Disabilities services facility and program expenses increased 33%,
or $52.2 million, to $209.0 million in 1997 compared to 1996. Payroll and
payroll-related expenses represented 78% of this increase due primarily to the
new facilities in 1997 and the effects of a full year of operating results from
programs added in 1996. As a percentage of disabilities services net revenues,
disabilities services facility and program expenses decreased to 86.0% in 1997
from 86.4% in 1996. This decrease was due to the effect of the rate increases
described above and improved operating efficiencies. Depreciation and
amortization expense in 1997 increased 87%, or $2.2 million, over 1996 due to
the acquisition of property, equipment and intangible assets during the year.
Job Corps Program
Job Corps net revenues increased by 18%, or $7.0 million, to $46.4
million in 1997 compared to 1996, resulting primarily from the acquisition of
five Job Corps centers from Teledyne Economic Development in October 1997.
Segment profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 11.6% in 1996 to
10.4% in 1997 due principally to increased costs associated with transitioning
the Teledyne Job Corps centers.
18
20
Other Youth Services Programs (Youthtrack and AYS)
Other youth services net revenues increased by 356%, or $13.0 million,
to $16.6 million in 1997 compared to 1996, resulting primarily from three
acquisitions and two management contracts by AYS during 1997. These
acquisitions, as well as expansion of the Youthtrack operations, contributed to
the increase in segment profit as a percentage of net revenues from 2.2% in 1996
to 9.6% to 1997.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 14.4%, or $1.4
million, to $11.2 million in 1997 compared to 1996. The increase primarily
reflected additional personnel to support the growth of the Company's
operations, as well as increased use of professional services. As a percentage
of total net revenues, such expenses decreased to 3.7% in 1997 compared to 4.4%
in 1996.
Interest expense increased $1.2 million to $2.5 million in 1997
compared to 1996. The increase resulted from increased utilization of the credit
facility for acquisitions, development and working capital prior to the
convertible debt offering.
Income taxes increased 58.3%, or $3.2 million, to $8.7 million in 1997
compared to 1996, and reflect effective tax rates of 40.2% and 36.9% in 1997 and
1996, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is due primarily to
Premier being taxed as a partnership prior to 1997. The increase in income tax
expense is attributable to a higher level of operating income as described above
and the restatement of 1996 financial statements for the Premier
pooling-of-interests completed January 1, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's need for capital is attributable primarily to the
Company's plans to expand through acquisitions and the development of new
facilities and programs, and to have sufficient working capital for general
corporate purposes. Since most of the Company's facilities and programs are
operating at or near capacity, and budgetary pressures and other forces are
expected to limit increases in reimbursement rates received by the Company, the
Company's ability to continue to grow at its current rate is directly dependent
upon such acquisitions and development.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, cash provided by operating
activities was $10.2 million compared to $15.6 million for 1997, and $8.2
million for 1996. The decrease in 1998 from 1997 was due primarily to a growth
in accounts receivable as well as declines in the growth of current liabilities.
The increase in accounts receivable is primarily related to the increased number
of acquisitions made during 1998. The increase in 1997 from 1996 was due
primarily to an increase in income from continuing operations, trade payables
and accrued expenses, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. The increase
in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily
related to the increased number of acquisitions made during 1997.
During the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, cash used in
investing activities was $117.0 million, $60.0 million and $20.7 million,
respectively, relating primarily to acquisitions and purchases of property and
equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities was $59.2 million for 1998,
related primarily to borrowings under the revolving line-of-credit. Cash
provided by financing activities in 1997 was $103.1 million, related primarily
to the secondary stock offering and the issuance of convertible subordinated
notes, offset by repayment of the line-of-credit. Cash provided by financing
activities was $13.0 million for 1996 consisting primarily of borrowings against
the line-of-credit. On June 30, 1998, the Company amended and restated its
credit agreement with a group of banks to provide for maximum borrowings of $200
million, increase the letter of credit facility from $10 million to $20 million,
amend certain financial covenants and add new subsidiaries and banks as parties
to the loan agreement. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had $138.0 million
available on its line-of-credit and $18.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Outstanding at that date were irrevocable standby letters of credit in the
principal amount of $3.0 million issued in connection with workers' compensation
insurance and certain facility leases.

21
Net days revenue in accounts receivable for the Company was 63 days at
December 31, 1998, compared to 56 days at December 31, 1997 and 52 days at
December 31, 1996. Accounts receivable at December 31, 1998, increased to $99.5
million, compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 1997, and $34.0 million at
December 31, 1996. Growth in these amounts has been primarily related to delays
in payment from certain state Medicaid programs and the integration of acquired
operations.
The Company has historically sought to provide its services in leased
premises, especially in the case of larger facilities. However, in response to
changes in certain reimbursement methodologies primarily related to its
expansion of services provided to consumers in community-based settings; the
Company has increased its real estate purchases, particularity residential
homes. Also, acquisitions may involve the purchase of real estate.
The Company has historically satisfied its working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and scheduled debt payments from its
operating cash flow and utilization of its credit facility. Cash requirements
for the acquisition of new business operations have generally been funded
through a combination of cash generated from operating activities, utilization
of the Company's revolving credit facility and the issuance of long-term
obligations and common stock. The Company believes that cash generated from
operations and availability under its expanded credit facility will continue to
be sufficient to meet its working capital, planned capital expenditure, business
acquisition and scheduled debt repayment requirements over the next twelve
months.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Assessment and Remediation Plans
In response to the Year 2000 issue, the Company established a task
force to address Year 2000 issues in the following specific areas: (i)
information systems; (ii) medical equipment and physical facilities; and (iii)
third party relationships.
Information Systems: The Company has completed its initial assessment
of the capability of its information systems to meet Year 2000 processing
requirements. Based on this assessment, the Company has determined that it will
be required to modify or replace certain portions of its information systems.
The Company will be focusing a significant portion of its internal remediation
efforts on the aspects of information systems that affect revenue generation.
Currently, the Company utilizes certain purchased software to monitor accounts
receivable and generate a portion of its billings to third party payors. The
Company also utilizes software supplied by certain states or their contracted
third party vendors to electronically generate its billings to third party
payors. It is the intention of management to upgrade its accounts receivable and
billing system beginning in the second quarter of 1999 with an estimated
completion date in the third quarter of 1999. In addition to this upgrade,
management is in the process of acquiring a Year 2000 compliant software program
which will be utilized to generate substantially all invoices electronically and
monitor accounts receivable. The estimated completion date for installation and
testing of this billing system is October 31, 1999. During 1998, the Company
completed the requisite upgrades to its general ledger and payroll systems in
order for those systems to be compliant. Substantially all desktop computers,
network devices and related software have been tested and those found to be
noncompliant have been replaced. The Company plans to rely principally on its
own staff resources for Year 2000 remediation of its information systems
Medical Equipment and Physical Facilities: The effort to identify
potential Year 2000 problems within the Company's medical equipment and physical
facilities is ongoing. When complete, vendors, manufacturers and others with
whom the Company conducts business, and where the interruption of such business
could have a material adverse effect on the Company, will be contacted, and cost
effective efforts made to remediate or minimize possible problems. Upon
completion of this assessment, remediation plans will be developed. The Company
believes that it will be able to complete its assessment of material adverse
risk associated with Year 2000 problems in its medical equipment and physical
facilities sufficiently in advance of January 1, 2000, to effect remedial
measures where such measures are possible and cost effective. The current target
date for completing the assessment is June 30, 1999 and the target date for
completing any remedial measures is September 30, 1999. The Company presently
believes that with appropriate and timely modifications and replacements, the
Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company.
The Company plans to rely principally on its own staff resources for Year 2000
remediation of medical equipment and physical facilities.
20
22
Third Party Relationships: The Company continues to assess the Year
2000 compliance capability of its significant third party payors and vendors.
Because a substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from
Medicaid programs, to the extent that certain federal and state governmental
agencies are noncompliant, the Company's cash flows, liquidity and financial
condition could be adversely affected. The Health Care Financing Administration
has issued guidance requiring state Medicaid agencies to certify that the
state's Medicaid Management Information Systems, and mission-critical
interfaces, are Year 2000 compliant by March 30, 1999. The Company has received
representations from its third party payroll processor, as well as its
significant relationship banks, that their systems will be Year 2000 compliant.
There can be no assurance that the systems of these third parties will be
compliant and will not have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. An
inventory of significant third party payors and vendors is in process, and
questionnaires are being mailed during March 1999 requesting representations
regarding their Year 2000 readiness. The Company anticipates completing its
assessment and any necessary actions by the end of the third quarter of 1999.
Contingency Plans
The Company has not established a formal contingency plan to address
failures in the Company's Year 2000 assessment and remediation plan. The task
force has been directed to complete plans for the three areas described in this
section, as well as other less significant areas within the Company, and to
submit the plans to the executive management team by June 30, 1999. Contingency
plans will be developed for any area of the Year 2000 remediation effort where
such effort is incomplete, the consequence of a possible Year 2000 problem is
materially adverse and a viable contingency plan is possible and economically
reasonable. Substantially all critical financial information systems currently
in place, including the internal accounts receivable and billing system
described above, are being remediated to be Year 2000 compliant in the event of
an unanticipated delay in the implementation of the Company's new systems. As
the Company contacts third party reimbursement sources, it is developing
contingency plans to receive temporary reimbursement in the event of system
failures by these entities. The Company's contingency plans will also cover
failures by suppliers and vendors. Further, each of the Company's operating
units has plans to handle emergency situations such as a loss of utility
services or supplies.
Year 2000 Risk
The Company believes the greatest risk posed by the Year 2000 issue is
the timely reimbursement by third party governmental payors. Management believes
that delays in the collection of accounts receivable potentially represent
significant operational risk with respect to the Year 2000 issue. Should cash
collections on accounts receivable from third party payors be significantly
delayed, the Company's working capital could be adversely affected. Management
continues to evaluate its financing needs, including needs arising from Year
2000 problems. While the Company could utilize its existing revolving credit
facility to fund working capital needs, the Company could also be forced to seek
additional external financing. Use of funding sources for working capital could
also adversely affect plans to expand the Company's business through
internally-generated growth or acquisitions. No assurance can be given that
additional financing to support working capital, growth or acquisitions would be
available to the Company.
Cost of Plan
The total cost of modifying and replacing information systems is
currently expected to range from $3 million to $4 million. Certain of these
costs (generally attributable to replacement equipment) will be capitalized and
amortized over a three to five year period. Other costs to remediate the Year
2000 issue will be expensed as incurred. At December 31, 1998, the Company had
incurred approximately $1.6 million of these costs. The total cost of modifying
and replacing medical equipment and physical facility components is not expected
to be material. The Company believes that the total costs associated with
replacing and modifying its current systems will not have a material adverse
effect on its results of operations or liquidity. The costs of the project and
the date on which the Company believes that it will substantially complete the
Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates using
information currently available. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
21
23
EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-05, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities. The SOP requires that all costs of start-up activities and
organization costs be expensed as incurred. The SOP is effective for the
Company's year ending December 31, 1999. Initial application of the SOP will
result in the write-off of any unamortized start-up and organization costs, the
impact of which will be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. It is the intention of management of the Company to adopt
the provisions of the SOP effective January 1, 1999. As of December 31, 1998,
deferred start-up and organization costs of $6.2 million (net of accumulated
amortization of $4.7 million) were included in other assets in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet.
CERTAIN RISK FACTORS
The Company's growth in revenues and earnings per share has been
directly related to a considerable increase in the number of individuals served
in each of its operating segments. This growth is largely dependent upon
development-driven activities, including the acquisitions of other businesses or
facilities or of management contract rights to operate facilities, the award of
contracts to open new facilities or start new operations or to assume management
of facilities previously operated by governmental agencies or not-for-profit
organizations and the extension or renewal of contracts previously awarded to
the Company. The Company often makes forward-looking statements regarding its
development activities.
Changes in the Company's future revenues depend significantly upon the
success of these development activities, and in particular on the Company's
ability to obtain additional contracts to provide services to the special needs
populations it serves, whether through acquisitions, awards in response to
requests for proposals for new facilities or programs or for facilities being
privatized by governmental agencies, or other development activities. Future
revenues also depend on the Company's ability to maintain and renew its existing
services contracts and its existing leases. The Company actively seeks
acquisitions of other companies, facilities and assets as a means of increasing
the number of consumers served. Changes in the market for such acquisition
prospects, including increasing competition for and increasing pricing of such
acquisition prospects, could also adversely affect the timing and/or viability
of future development activities.
Revenues of the Company's disabilities services segment are highly
dependent on reimbursement under federal and state Medicaid programs. Generally,
each state has its own Medicaid reimbursement regulations and formula. The
Company's revenues and operating profitability are dependent upon its ability to
maintain its existing reimbursement levels and to obtain periodic increases in
reimbursement rates. Changes in the manner in which Medicaid reimbursement rates
are established or reviewed in one or more of the states in which the Company
conducts its operations could adversely affect revenues and profitability. Other
changes in the manner in which federal and state reimbursement programs are
operated, and in the manner in which billings/costs are reviewed and audited,
could also affect revenues and operating profitability.
The Company's cost structure and ultimate operating profitability are
significantly dependent on its labor costs and the availability and utilization
of its labor force and thus may be affected by a variety of factors, including
local competitive forces, changes in minimum wages or other direct personnel
costs, the Company's effectiveness in managing its direct service staff, and
changes in consumer services models, such as the trends toward supported living
and managed care.
Additionally, the Company's continued expansion of its existing
operations, and its ability to expand its provision of services to other
populations utilizing the Company's core competencies are dependent upon
continuation of trends toward downsizing, privatization and consolidation and
the Company's ability to tailor its services to meet the specific needs of these
different populations. The success in operating in a changing environment is
subject to a variety of political, economic, social and legal pressures,
including desires of governmental agencies to reduce costs and increase levels
of services, federal, state and local budgetary constraints and actions brought
by advocacy groups and the courts to change existing service delivery systems.
Material changes resulting from these trends and pressures could adversely
affect the demand for and reimbursement of the Company's services and its
operating flexibility, and ultimately its revenues and profitability.
22
24
From time to time, the Company (or a provider with which the Company
has a management agreement), is a party to legal and/or administrative
proceedings involving state program administrators and others that, in the event
of unfavorable outcomes, may adversely affect revenues and period-to-period
comparisons. In addition, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings
encountered in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that many
of such legal proceedings are without merit. Further, such claims may be covered
by insurance. The Company does not believe the results of such proceedings or
litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Res-Care, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Res-Care, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Res-Care,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

RES-CARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Res-Care,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). Intercompany transactions and balances
are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company receives revenues primarily from the delivery of
residential, training, educational and support services to various populations
with special needs. As more fully described in Note 9, the Company has three
reportable operating segments: (i) disabilities services; (ii) Job Corps
program; and (iii) other youth services programs.
Revenue Recognition
Disabilities Services: Client services are provided at rates
established at the time services are rendered. Payments for services rendered to
clients covered by Medicaid are generally less than the Company's established
rates. Contractual allowances and adjustments are recorded to reflect the
difference between established rates and expected reimbursement. Retroactively
calculated contractual adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the
periods the related services are rendered. Final settlements are recorded as
adjustments in future periods when they are determined.
Revenues are derived primarily from state government agencies under the
Medicaid reimbursement system and from management contracts with private
operators, generally not-for-profit providers, who contract with state
government agencies and are also reimbursed under the Medicaid system.
Revenues in the future may be affected by changes in rate-setting
structures, methodologies or interpretations that may be proposed in states
where the Company operates. Some states are considering initiating managed care
plans for persons served in the Medicaid programs and expanding Medicaid waiver
funding for community residential services. At this time, the Company cannot
determine the impact of such changes, or the effect of any possible governmental
actions.
Job Corps Program: Revenues include amounts reimbursable under cost
reimbursement contracts with the U.S. Department of Labor for operating Job
Corps centers. The contracts provide reimbursement for all facility and program
costs related to Job Corps center operations and allowable indirect costs for
general and administrative expenses, plus a predetermined management fee,
normally a fixed percentage of facility and program expenses. Final
determination of amounts due under the contracts is subject to audit and review
by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Other Youth Services Programs: Juvenile treatment revenues are derived
primarily from state-awarded contracts from state agencies under various
reimbursement systems. Reimbursement from state or locally awarded contracts
varies per facility or program, and is typically paid under fixed contract
amounts, flat rates, or cost-based rates.
For each operating segment, expenses are subject to examination by
agencies administering the contracts and services. Management believes that
adequate provisions have been made for potential adjustments arising from such
examinations. Revenues and accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated
allowances and adjustments. Provision for bad debt expense, if any, is provided
for in the period the expense is determined by management.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
F-7
37
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, by the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives for
buildings are 20 - 40 years. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over
the life of the respective lease. The useful lives of furniture and equipment
vary from three to seven years. The Company acts as custodian of assets where it
has contracts to operate facilities or programs owned or leased by the U.S.
Department of Labor, various states and private providers.
The excess of acquisition cost over net assets acquired and the cost of
licenses are amortized over 20-30 years using the straight-line method.
Covenants not to compete are amortized over the terms of the respective
agreements which are generally five to ten years. The Company assesses the
recoverability of goodwill and other intangibles as events or circumstances
indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amount. Such evaluation
is based on cash flow, profitability and projections that incorporate current
operating results. This analysis involves significant management judgment.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of supplies, food and linens, and are
stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method.
Deferred Start-Up Costs
Deferred start-up costs are reimbursable under applicable state
regulations and include administrative and staff salaries, rent, professional
fees, insurance and other costs incurred during the period prior to operation of
the various facilities. These costs are amortized on a straight-line method over
periods ranging from five to seven years consistent with applicable state
reimbursement regulations.
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-05, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities. The SOP requires that all costs of start-up activities and
organization costs be expensed as incurred. The SOP is effective for the
Company's year ending December 31, 1999. Initial application of the SOP will
result in the write-off of any unamortized start-up and organization costs, the
impact of which will be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. It is the intention of management of the Company to adopt
the provisions of the SOP effective January 1, 1999. As of December 31, 1998,
deferred start-up and organization costs of $6.2 million (net of accumulated
amortization of $4.7 million) were included in other assets in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in
tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
Per Share Data
The Company's Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two stock split
which was distributed on June 4, 1998, to shareholders of record on May 22,
1998. All share and per share data included in this annual report have been
restated to reflect the stock split. Per share amounts have also been restated
to reflect the issuance of 613,875 shares of common stock in the acquisition of
Premier Rehabilitation Centers (Premier) on January 1, 1997.
F-8
38
Insurance
The Company maintains insurance in the form of commercial general
liability and commercial umbrella liability policies, which include professional
liability insurance. Management intends to maintain such coverages in the future
and is of the opinion that insurance coverages are adequate to cover any
potential losses on asserted claims. Management is unaware of any incidents that
would ultimately result in a loss in excess of the Company's insurance
coverages. In addition, the Company self-insures group health insurance for its
employees. Such self-insurance costs are accrued based upon the aggregate of the
liability for reported claims and an estimated liability for claims incurred but
not reported. The Company has an annual stop-loss limit of $150,000 for each
covered individual. Workers' compensation claims are covered either under large
deductible or retrospective policies or through sponsored insurance funds.
Financial Instruments
Various methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
the fair value disclosures for significant financial instruments. Fair values of
cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts and notes receivable
and trade accounts payable approximate their carrying amount because of the
short maturity of those investments. The fair value of long-term debt is based
on the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted at the current
estimated borrowing rates available to the Company, and approximates its
carrying value as interest rates are variable.
Segment Information
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS 131
superseded SFAS No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise. SFAS 131 established standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS 131 also established
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas,
and major customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not affect results of
operations or financial position, but did affect the disclosure of segment
information. Information regarding the Company's reportable operating segments
is set forth in Note 9.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in 1996 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform with
the 1998 presentation. The effect of any reclassifications was not material.
2. ACQUISITIONS
During the two years ended December 31, 1998, the Company has made
various acquisitions as set forth below. Except for the Premier acquisition
which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, all have been accounted for
as purchases. The consolidated financial statements include the operating
results of each business acquired for as a purchase from the date of its
acquisition. Except for the acquisitions of Normal Life, Inc. (Normal Life),
Communications Network Consultants, Inc. (CNC) and Teledyne Economic
Development, pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the
effects of these acquisitions were not significant.

On March 12, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of Normal Life, a Kentucky corporation, which provides services to persons
with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities in Indiana,
Kentucky, California, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and Florida. The aggregate stock
purchase price of $73 million was paid with $51 million in cash and $22 million
in principal amount of the Company's 5.9% convertible subordinated notes due
2005. The notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion
price of $25.8354, or approximately 851,545 shares, commencing one year from the
closing date of the transaction. The funds for the acquisition came from the
Company's existing cash and revolving credit facility.
The following table sets forth information regarding acquisitions
during 1998 and 1997 which were accounted for as purchases:

These unaudited pro forma results of operations do not reflect the
total cost savings or other synergies that may result from the acquisitions. In
the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present
pro forma results of operations have been made. The unaudited pro forma results
of operations do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have
occurred had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of these periods or
results of operations that may be achieved in the future.
In connection with the Normal Life acquisition, the Company recognized
a liability of approximately $2.4 million associated with termination benefits
and the closing of duplicate facilities. The termination benefits relate
principally to corporate employees. During 1998, the Company paid approximately
$1.2 million against the liability established for such purposes.
The stock purchase agreement associated with the acquisition of CNC
provided for the payment of additional consideration upon CNC meeting certain
earnings levels through 1999. In January 1999, the stock purchase agreement was
amended to provide for the acceleration of the contingent consideration
resulting in the payment of approximately $868 to CNC. Additionally under the
amendment, the Company paid the outstanding principal balance plus accrued
interest under a promissory note to CNC totaling approximately $1.3 million.

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the partnership
interests in Premier in exchange for 613,875 shares of the Company's common
stock in a business combination accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Premier
provides disabilities services to clients with acquired brain injuries and is
included in the operations of the disabilities services segment. Premier
revenues and net income included in the Company's consolidated statements of
income for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $5,919 and $752, respectively.

No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was required as of
December 31, 1998 or 1997, nor was there any change in the total valuation
allowance for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. The realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating future taxable
income when temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the historical
and projected levels of taxable income, management believes it is more likely
than not the Company will realize the benefits of the deductible differences.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable operating segments: disabilities
services, Job Corps program and other youth services programs. The Company's
disabilities services division offers services for individuals with
developmental and other disabilities, including acquired brain injury. These
services are provided through supported living and supported employment
programs, community group homes, and facility-based operations. The Job Corps
segment operates various centers under the federal Job Corps program
administered by the U.S. Department of Labor which provides for the educational
and vocational training and other support necessary to enable disadvantaged
youths to become responsible working adults. The other youth services segment
provides services to address the specific needs of at-risk and troubled youths
to enable each youth to be a more productive member of the community. The
Company's reportable segments are business units that offer distinct services to
different special needs populations and are managed separately.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on
profit or loss from operations before interest, income taxes, accounting changes
and non-recurring items. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are
the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

10. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors savings plans which were established to assist
eligible employees in providing for their future retirement needs. The Company's
contributions to the plans were $2,463, $1,305, and $2,237 in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
The Company's stock-based compensation plans are fixed stock option
plans. Under the 1998 Omnibus Stock Plan and the 1991 Incentive Stock Option
Plan, the Company may grant options to its salaried officers and employees for
up to 1,125,000 and 3,801,093 shares of common stock, respectively. Under both
plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the
Company's stock on the date of grant, and an option's maximum term is normally
five years. Generally all options, except those granted to certain key
executives which have varied vesting schedules, vest 20 percent at date of grant
and 20% per year over four years.
Under a stock option plan adopted October 28, 1993, 90,000 shares are
available for issuance to non-employee members of the Board of Directors at an
exercise price which cannot be less than the fair market value on the date of
grant.

For financial statement reporting purposes, the Company continues to
use the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock option plans. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined consistent with the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and earnings
per share amounts would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
