Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Res-Care, Inc. is a human service company that provides residential, therapeutic, job training and educational supports to people with developmental or other disabilities, youth with special needs, adults who are experiencing barriers to employment, and older people who need home care assistance. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “ResCare”, “Company”, “our company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” mean Res-Care, Inc. and, unless the context otherwise requires, its consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of ResCare have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for comprehensive annual financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies. We rely on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 19, 2013.

Reclassification

Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to 2012 amounts to conform to 2013 presentation.

Segments

Effective January 1, 2013, we began managing and operating our Pharmacy Services as a new reporting segment.  Pharmacy Services is a limited, closed-door pharmacy focused on serving individuals with cognitive, intellectual and developmental disabilities.  The pharmacy operations were previously included with our Residential Services segment.  As a result of this change, the results of our Residential Services segment has been retrospectively recast for all periods presented.  Further information regarding our segments is included in Note 7.
