Explanation of Responses:

1. The filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Prescott Capital") or Phil Frohlich, the managing member of Prescott Capital, is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Performant Financial Corporation (the "Issuer") held by Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. (the "Master Fund") for the accounts of Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P. and Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P. (together, the "Small Cap Funds"). Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, both Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim such beneficial ownership.

Prescott Capital receives a portion of the profits in the way of a capital allocation from, and owns a partnership interest in, the Small Cap Funds.
