Security and Issuer Common stock of Pediatric Services of America, Inc. (PSAI.OB) 310 Technology Parkway, Norcross GA 30092-2929. Item 2. Identity and Background The D3 Family Fund, L.P., a Washington State partnership, whose principal business is investing in the equities of public micro-cap issuers. Located at 19605 N.E. 8th St., Camas, Washington 98607. No convictions or administrative proceedings. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Source of funds is money invested in the partnership by its partners. Aggregate amount invested in EBSC shares purchased by the partnership is $931,079. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction The purpose of the share purchases is for investment in the nation's leading provider of pediatric home health care. We believe that PSAI.OB management is doing a superb job of refocusing on core operations, of deleveraging the balance sheet, and of improving operating cash flow. Moreover, the reimbursement climate is improving as state Medicaid programs increase rates and as private payors begin following the higher prices announced by state and Federal payors. As a result of these favorable internal and macro trends, we anticipate that the company will return to profitability soon. Roughly coincident with that, we would expect the company to regain its NASDAQ listing and begin to elevate its visibility with investors, analysts, and market makers. Ultimately we think PSAI.OB's share price has the potential to return to the price levels at which it traded in 1996 and 1997. None of the other actions described in items 4(a)-(j) are currently contemplated. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a,b) D3 owns, and has sole voting and dispositive power over, 386,930 common shares of PSAI.OB (5.8%). In addition, 30,000 more common shares of PSAI.OB are owned by Haredale, Ltd., a Bahamian corporation which owns 30,000 shares. Aggregating D3 and Haredale, the group owns 416,930 common shares (6.3%).
