Despite lower revenue compared to the second quarter of last fiscal year, gross
profit for the quarter ended September, 1996 increased by $430,168 to $2,356,387
or 18.5% of revenue; as compared to $1,926,219 or 13.5% of revenue. The decrease
in revenue of $1,507,566 from the quarter ended September, 1995 to the quarter
just ended is primarily the result of contracts not renewed during the year due
to low margins ($960,000) and the sale of the Company's Boston operation in
October, 1995 ($213,374).

William C. Vassell, Chairman of the Board, stated "the trimming of our low
margin contracts has been successful. That and other cost saving measures have
improved our gross profits dramatically. We have achieved net revenue growth in
this quarter as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 from internal
sales of new contracts as well as acquisitions and expect the current trend to
continue".
