ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements This report and documents incorporated by reference into this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended, which are not historical facts but rather based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, our beliefs and assumptions. Words such as "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects", "will", "goal", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us that any of our plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Such forward looking information is also subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks arising from our providing services exclusively to the health care industry, primarily providers of long-term care; credit and collection risks associated with this industry; one client accounting for approximately 13% of revenues in the six month period ended June 30, 2009 (see Note 5 - "Major Client" in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements); risks associated with our acquisition of Contract Environmental Services, Inc., including integration risks and costs, or such business not achieving expected financial results or synergies or failure to otherwise perform as expected; our claims experience related to workers' compensation and general liability insurance; the effects of changes in, or interpretations of laws and regulations governing the industry, our workforce and services provided, including state and local regulations pertaining to the taxability of our services; and the risk factors described in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008 in Part I under "Government Regulation of Clients", "Competition", "Service Agreements/Collections", and under Item IA "Risk Factors". Many of our clients' revenues are highly contingent on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement funding rates, which Congress has affected through the enactment of a number of major laws during the past decade. These laws have significantly altered, or threatened to alter, overall government reimbursement funding rates and mechanisms. The overall effect of these laws and trends in the long-term care industry have affected and could adversely affect the liquidity of our clients, resulting in their inability to make payments to us on agreed upon payment terms. These factors, in addition to delays in payments from clients, have resulted in, and could continue to result in, significant additional bad debts in the near future. Additionally, our operating results would be adversely affected if unexpected increases in the costs of labor and labor related costs, materials, supplies and equipment used in performing services could not be passed on to our clients. In addition, we believe that to improve our financial performance we must continue to obtain service agreements with new clients, provide new services to existing clients, achieve modest price increases on current service agreements with existing clients and maintain internal cost reduction strategies at our various operational levels. Furthermore, we believe that our ability to sustain the internal development of managerial personnel is an important factor impacting future operating results and successfully executing projected growth strategies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to provide the reader with information that will be helpful in understanding our financial statements including the changes in certain key items in comparing financial statements period to period. We also intend to provide the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as a summary of how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. In addition, we are providing information about the financial results of our two operating segments to further assist in understanding how these segments and their results affect our consolidated results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the periods then ended and the notes accompanying those financial statements.
Overview
We provide housekeeping, laundry, linen, facility maintenance and food services to the health care industry, including nursing homes, retirement complexes, rehabilitation centers and hospitals located throughout the United States.
We believe that we are the largest provider of housekeeping and laundry services to the long-term care industry in the United States, rendering such services to approximately 2,300 facilities in 47 states as of June 30, 2009. Although we do not directly participate in any government reimbursement programs, our clients' reimbursements are subject to government regulation. Therefore, they are directly affected by any legislation relating to Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs.
We provide our services primarily pursuant to full service agreements with our clients. In such agreements, we are responsible for the management and hourly employees located at our clients' facilities. We also provide services on the basis of a management-only agreement for a very limited number of clients. Our agreements with clients typically provide for a one year service term, cancelable by either party upon 30 to 90 days notice after the initial 90-day period.
We are organized into two reportable segments; housekeeping, laundry, linen and facility maintenance ("Housekeeping"), and food services ("Food"). Housekeeping is being provided at all of our approximately 2,300 client facilities, generating approximately 78% or $257,083,000 of total consolidated revenues in the six month period ended June 30, 2009. Food is being provided to approximately 325 client facilities and contributed approximately 22% or $74,222,000 of 2009 six month period total consolidated revenues. The services provided by Housekeeping consist primarily of the cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing of patient rooms and common areas of a client's facility, as well as the laundering and processing of the personal clothing belonging to the facility's patients. Also within the scope of this segment's service is the laundering and processing of the bed linens, uniforms and other assorted linen items utilized by a client facility.
Food consists of providing for the development of a menu that meets the patient's dietary needs, and the purchasing and preparing of the food for delivery to the patients.
As of June 30, 2009, we operate one wholly-owned subsidiary, Huntingdon Holdings, Inc. ("Huntingdon"). Huntingdon invests our cash and cash equivalents, as well as managing our

portfolio of marketable securities. On March 1, 2009, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary HCSG Supply, Inc. ("Supply") for approximately $1,100,000, financed principally through our acceptance of a secured promissory note which is recorded in our notes receivable in the accompanying June 30, 2009 balance sheet. As a result of the Supply sale, we recorded an immaterial gain in our consolidated statement of income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. On April 30, 2009, we executed an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire essentially all of the assets of Contract Environmental Services, Inc ("CES"), a South Carolina based corporation which is a provider of professional housekeeping, laundry and dietary services to long-term care and related facilities. We believe the acquisition of CES expands and compliments our position of being the largest provider of such services to long-term care and related facilities in the United States. The aggregate consideration, subject to future revision, was approximately $13,800,000 consisting of approximately: (i) $4,600,000 in cash, (ii) a current issuance of approximately 66,000 shares of our common stock (valued at approximately $1,183,000) and a future issuance of approximately 265,000 shares (valued at approximately $3,311,000) contingent upon the achievement of certain financial targets, and (iii) the repayment of approximately $4,700,000 of certain debt obligations of CES. The allocation of such consideration has resulted in our recording in the accompanying June 30, 2009 consolidated balance sheets of the following assets; (i) approximately $8,900,000 consisting primarily of accounts receivable, (ii) $5,400,000 of amortizable intangible assets, and (iii) $2,000,000 of goodwill. Additionally, pursuant to the transaction we assumed approximately $2,500,000 of certain other liabilities of the seller.
