Date:11/14/2007

ve Officer, said, "During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we continued to produce steady year-over-year growth in net revenue through new contract wins, renewals, and same-market expansion efforts; to execute on key strategies to minimize exposure to uncompensated care; and to generate predictable cash flows, as the initiatives we are implementing to improve ambulance collections continue to gain momentum.

"We continued to trend positively with respect to our ongoing efforts to improve collections and made significant strides in the key operating metrics we use to measure uncompensated care," Mr. Brucker said.
