calculated and presented for &#147;basic&#148; and &#147;diluted&#148; data.
&#147;Basic&#148; net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, whereas &#147;diluted&#148; net income per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effects of options and restricted stock. As of March
31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the exercise price for each outstanding option is less
than the fair market value of a share of common stock. Therefore, no options have been
excluded from the diluted net income per share computations for the income statements
presented. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company believes it is a leading
provider of ongoing survey-based performance measurement, analysis, tracking and
improvement services to the healthcare industry. Since 1981, the Company has provided
these services using traditional market research methodologies, such as direct mail,
telephone-based surveys, focus groups and in-person interviews. Since 2002, the current
primary data collection methodology used is direct mail, but the Company still uses other
methodologies for certain types of studies. The Company addresses the growing need of
healthcare providers and payers to measure the care outcomes, specifically experience and
health status of their patients and/or members. NRC has been at the forefront of the
industry in developing tools that enable healthcare organizations to obtain performance
measurement information necessary to comply with industry and regulatory standards and to
improve their business practices so that they can maximize new member and/or patient
attraction, experience, member retention and profitability. The Company believes that a
driver of its growth and its industry in general, will be in the increase in demand for
performance measurement and improvement products as a result of more public reporting
programs. The Company&#146;s primary types of information services are Performance
Tracking Services, custom research, educational services and its Healthcare Market Guide. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><I>Total revenues</I>. Total revenues
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 were $7.6 million compared to $6.1 million
in the three month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to
additional new clients, of which many were contracts sold in 2003, and the cross-selling
and increases in scope of current clients. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><I>Direct expenses</I>. Direct
expenses increased 17.1% to $3.3 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2004
from $2.8 million in the same period during 2003. The increase in direct expenses in the
2004 period was primarily due to the incremental costs of servicing additional clients.
The primary increases were in labor and payroll expenses of $256,000, printing and postage
expenses of $129,000, and fieldwork and fees of $81,000. Direct expenses decreased as a
percentage of total revenues to 43.6% in the three month period ended March 31, 2004 from
46.5% during the same period of 2003. The decrease in the direct expense percentage in
2004 was due to a great extent, to volume of revenue and margin expansion during the
period. The Company believes that direct expenses will increase slightly during the balance of 2004
to be in line with the 2003 margins. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><I>Selling, general and
administrative expenses. </I>Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 48.2%
to $1.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1.3 million
for the same period in 2003. The net increase was primarily due to increases in salary and
benefit expenses of $469,000, marketing expenses of $65,000, and recruitment and training
of $49,000. This increase can be attributed to the expansion of sales and marketing
efforts and increasing the depth of the Company&#146;s mid management team. Selling,
general, and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues to 25.2%
for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 from 21.2% for the same period in 2003. The Company
expects as revenues increase during the balance of 2004 that selling, general, and
administrative expenses as a percentage of income will decrease. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><I>Depreciation and amortization.
</I>Depreciation and amortization expenses increased slightly to $464,000 in the three

and amortization expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 6.1% in the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004, from 7.4% in the same period of 2003.
Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percent of revenues are expected to decrease
slightly in 2004 as compared to 2003 as a result of consistent levels of depreciation
compared to increased revenues. </FONT></P>

</I>The provision for income taxes totaled $679,000 (36.6% effective tax rate) for the
three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $558,000 (37.7% effective tax rate)
for the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate was lower in 2004 due to differences
in state income taxes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s principal source
of funds historically has been cash flows from its operations. The Company&#146;s cash
flow has been sufficient to provide funds for working capital and capital expenditures. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As of March 31, 2004, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $5.2 million and working capital of $16.2 million. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the three months ended March
31, 2004, the Company generated $3.7 million of net cash from operating activities as
compared to $2.6 million of net cash generated during the same period in the prior year.
The increase in cash flows was primarily due to higher net income, decreases in trade
accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable totaling $3.1 million. This
increase in cash flows was partially offset by decreases in billings in excess of revenues
earned and increases in unbilled revenues totaling $1.9 million. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>For the three months ended March 31,
2004, net cash used in investing activities was $768,000 compared to $2.3 million during
the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash used in investing activities in
2004 was primarily due to the $961,000 acquisition of Smaller World Communications Inc.
that occurred in March 2003, and $1.2 million less net purchases of securities available-for-sale.
This decrease was offset by $572,000 million of additional purchases of
property and equipment during 2004. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Net cash used in financing activities
was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to net cash
provided by financing activities of $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
increase in cash used in financing activities during 2003 was primarily due to the
purchase of treasury stock. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company typically bills clients
for performance tracking and custom research projects before they have been completed.
Billed amounts are recorded as billings in excess of revenues earned or deferred revenue
on the Company&#146;s financial statements and are recognized as income when earned. As of
March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had $4.2 million and $4.4 million of
deferred revenues, respectively. In addition, when work is performed in advance of
billing, the Company records this work as revenues earned in excess of billings, or
unbilled revenue. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had $1.1 million
and $1.0 million of unbilled revenue, respectively. Substantially all deferred revenues
earned and unbilled revenues will be earned and billed respectively, within 12 months of
the respective period ends. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In January 2003, the FASB issued
Interpretation No. 46 (revised), <I>Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
</I>(&#147;FIN 46&#148;). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of
certain variable interest entities. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and for variable interest
entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The provisions are
effective in the first fiscal year of interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003,
for variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it
acquired before February&nbsp;1, 2003. Under the guidance of FIN 46, entities that do not
have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special purpose entities are
required to apply the provisions of FIN 46 in financial statements for the periods ending
after March 15, 2004. The Company does not currently have any interest in variable
interest entities, therefore FIN 46 did not have an impact on the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>
