John C. Garbarino, OH+R's President and Chief Executive Officer, said "Second quarter financial performance continued where the first quarter ended, with net income more than doubling on revenue growth of about 5%. Net income for the six months exceeded our results for all of last year. The second half of the year has historically never been as strong as the first half, due primarily to seasonal factors. We do, however, expect to continue to post strong results as compared to the prior year.

"Net revenue at centers open for comparable periods in both years increased close to 6% during the quarter, primarily due to growth in revenue per visit as a result of price increases. Same center prevention and regulatory compliance services revenue grew 7% and new injury initial visits increased 0.5%. Year to date, net revenue at centers open for comparable periods increased slightly more than 5%. Same center prevention and regulatory compliance services grew 5% and new injury initial visits grew 1.5%.

"Center operating margin for the quarter increased to 17.7% of net revenue from 14.6%, due to a combination of higher prices and an increase of less than 1% in expenses. Costs in 2004 included those related to the upgrade of our practice management system, which was completed last December. The absence of such costs in 2005 helped moderate the increase in expenses in the quarter.

"On a year-to-date basis, center operating margin increased to 17.5% of net revenue from 14.3% in the prior year, again due to a combination of higher prices and expenses which were no greater than those in the prior year.

"On August 8, 2005, we announced our proposed merger with Concentra, Inc., the market leader in occupational healthcare and project the transaction will be consummated on October 31, 2005, subject to OH+R stockholder approval and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

"We believe the merger will prove beneficial for all OH+R's major stakeholders. Stockholders will receive a cash price which represents a significant premium over the highest market price ever previously achieved by our common stock. Joining the industry leader, an organization that clearly understands that its people drive its success, will provide OH+R staff with better opportunities for career advancement. OH+R patients and clients should experience little change except for now having at their disposal the resources of the broadest and strongest occupational health provider in the country."

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, net,
income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization
expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before minority interest
and contractual settlements, net. The Company considers Adjusted
EBITDA to be a key indicator of operating performance since it is (a)
an important factor in the determination of compliance with one of the
financial covenants under the Company's revolving line of credit; and
(b) a standard financial measurement for determining the amount of
cash generated by the Company's operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA excludes changes in
working capital, capital expenditures and other items that are set
forth on a cash flow statement presentation of a company's operating,
investing and financing activities. It also excludes the effects of
interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, income taxes
and other items included when determining a company's net income.
Hence, this measure should not be used either in isolation or as a
substitute for the determination of net income operating cash flow or
other similar GAAP-related measures.
