PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT                           Filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
To Prospectus Dated September 24, 1997                Registration No. 333-09187

                                PhyMatrix Corp.

                    a Physician Practice Management Company

                                  Common Stock

                              --------------------


         PhyMatrix Corp.'s Prospectus dated September 24, 1997 is hereby
supplemented to include the following:

         Effective July 15, 1997, PhyMatrix Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, PhyMatrix Acquisition I,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PhyMatrix Acquisition"), Clinical Studies Ltd., a
Delaware corporation ("CSL"), Dr. Michael Rothman, Dr. Walter Brown, Michael T.
Heffernan and Ronald Phillips as Trustee of The Alexander Rothman 1993 Qualified
Sub-Chapter S Trust and as Trustee of The Julie Rothman 1993 Qualified
Sub-Chapter S Trust. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PhyMatrix Acquisition, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PhyMatrix, will merge with and into CSL (the
"Acquisition"), and CSL will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PhyMatrix. CSL
is a site management organization conducting clinical research for
pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations at 22 centers
located in 11 states.

         PhyMatrix currently anticipates that, subject to the satisfaction of
certain remaining conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement, the
Acquisition will be consummated on or about October 14, 1997. The Acquisition
will be treated for accounting purposes as a pooling of interests.

         The purchase price for CSL will be paid to the stockholders of CSL in
shares of PhyMatrix Common Stock. The number of shares of PhyMatrix Common Stock
to be issued in the Acquisition is based upon the average last reported sale
price per share for the five business days preceding the business day prior to
the closing of the Acquisition (the "Last Reported Sale Price"). Based upon the
current market price of PhyMatrix Common Stock (the closing price of PhyMatrix
Common Stock on October 1, 1997 was $15.625), PhyMatrix currently anticipates
that it will issue approximately 5.2 million shares of Common Stock under the
Merger Agreement to the stockholders of CSL. If the Last Reported Sale Price is
less than $13.50 or greater than $16.50, the Merger Agreement provides that the
number of shares to be issued to the stockholders of CSL would increase or
decrease, respectively. If the Last Reported Sale Price is $12.00 or less, each
of PhyMatrix and CSL has the option to terminate the Merger Agreement.

         Following the Acquisition, PhyMatrix has agreed to use its best efforts
to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the resale of the
shares of PhyMatrix Common Stock acquired in the Acquisition.

         In connection with the Acquisition, the management of PhyMatrix has
agreed to recommend Michael T. Heffernan, the Chief Executive Officer of CSL,
for election to the Board of Directors of PhyMatrix, and PhyMatrix and Mr.
Heffernan expect to enter into an employment agreement relating to Mr.
Heffernan's continued services as Chief Executive Officer of CSL.

         Included as part of this Prospectus Supplement are (i)the Company's
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of July 31, 1997, (ii) the
Company's Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Six
Months ended July 31, 1997, the year ended January 31, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, (iii) the audited
combined financial statements of CSL as of and for the years ended December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, and (iv) the audited combined financial statements
of CSL as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994.


                             ----------------------


           The date of this Prospectus Supplement is October 7, 1997.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The merger is to be accounted for in accordance with the pooling of interests
method of accounting pursuant to APB Opinion No. 16. The pooling of interests
method of accounting assumes that PhyMatrix Corp. ("PhyMatrix") and Clinical
Studies, Ltd. and Clinical Marketing Ltd. (collectively "CSL") have been merged
since their inception, and the historical consolidated financial statements for
periods prior to consummation of the merger are restated as though the companies
have been combined since January 1, 1994. Accordingly, the accompanying
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information gives effect to the
transaction in accordance with pooling of interests accounting.

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the six
months ended July 31, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and
January 31, 1997 have been prepared to reflect the merger with CSL as if it had
been completed on January 1, 1994. Adjustments have been made as described to
record income tax expense on CSL's historical Statements of Operations. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet at July 31, 1997 gives effect to the
merger with CSL as if such merger had occurred on July 31, 1997.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been prepared based
on the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of PhyMatrix and
CSL, which statements are included herein. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Financial Information is not indicative of the results that would have occurred
if the acquisition of CSL had occurred on the dates indicated or which may be
realized in the future.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information should be read in
conjunction with (i) PhyMatrix' consolidated historical financial statements and
related notes contained in the annual, quarterly and other reports filed by
PhyMatrix with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) CSL's audited
historical combined financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, and (iii) CSL's unaudited historical combined financial
statements for the six months ended July 31, 1997.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These principles
require management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations are not necessarily
indicative of future operating results.

NOTE:    The transaction will be accounted for using the pooling of interests
         method of accounting and, therefore, these transaction expenses and the
         one-time costs to buy out a consulting contract will be recorded as a
         one-time charge on PhyMatrix' Statement of Operations during the
         quarter in which the transaction closes.

     the adjusted CSL net income at an estimated tax rate of 40%. No income
     taxes were provided in the historical financial statements of CSL because
     CSL had elected to be treated as an S Corp.

G.   Provisions for income taxes have not been reflected for the years ended
     December 31, 1994 and 1995 because there is no taxable income on a combined
     basis.

H.   Prior to January 23, 1996 (date of PhyMatrix' initial public offering),
     there were no outstanding shares of Common Stock and, accordingly, no
     earnings per share.

I.   Pro forma combined weighted average number of shares outstanding includes
     5,245,433 shares estimated to be issued to the stockholders of CSL 
     pursuant to the merger. The actual shares to be issued will be determined
     based on the average closing price of the Common Stock for the five 
     business days prior to the merger.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders of
   Clinical Studies Ltd. And Clinical Marketing Ltd.
Providence, RI

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Clinical Studies
Ltd. ("CSL") and Clinical Marketing Ltd. ("CML") (collectively the "Companies")
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related combined statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the combined financial position of Clinical Studies Ltd. and
Clinical Marketing Ltd. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their combined operations and their combined cash flows for the years then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Island, Massachusetts, Florida, Arizona and Pennsylvania.

    Clinical Marketing Ltd. ("CML"), which began operations on September 1,
    1995, provides advertising and mixed media promotion services, primarily for
    CSL.

    CSL and CML have common owners.

    Principles of Combination-The combined financial statements include the
    accounts of CSL and CML (collectively the "Companies"). All significant
    intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in combination.

    Property and Equipment-Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Capital
    lease property and equipment is recorded at the lower of fair market value
    at the inception of the lease or the present value of the minimum lease
    payments required. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the
    straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
    or, in the case of capital lease property and equipment and leasehold
    improvements, over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated
    useful life of the asset, as follows:

                                                                   Life

    Furniture and office equipment                                5 years
    Medical equipment                                             5 years
    Vehicles                                                      4 years

    Intangible Assets-Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill,
    noncompete agreements and trained workforces acquired in the purchase of
    clinical site operations during 1996. The purchase price in excess of net
    assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty
    years. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill based upon
    current and anticipated net income and undiscounted cash flows, and
    recognizes an impairment when it is probable that such estimated future net
    income and/or cash flows will be less than the carrying value of goodwill.
    Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the
    difference between carrying value and fair value. The costs allocated to
    noncompete agreements and the trained workforces are amortized on a
    straight-line basis over five and three years, respectively. Accumulated
    amortization amounted to approximately $114,000 for all intangible assets at
    December 31, 1996. There were no intangible assets recorded through 1995.

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESSES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    (CONTINUED)


    Income Taxes-The Companies, with the consent of their stockholders, have
    elected to be treated as S Corporations as provided under the Internal
    Revenue Code (the "Code"), whereby income taxes are the responsibility of
    the stockholders. Accordingly, the Companies' combined statements of
    operations do not include provisions for income taxes. Dividends are
    primarily intended to reimburse stockholders for income tax liabilities
    incurred.

    Revenue Recognition-CSL generates revenue based on contracts to perform
    clinical studies. Generally, these contracts specify the fees to be received
    as services are provided to patients enrolled in the studies. Revenues are
    recognized as patient visits are conducted and such services are provided.
    Costs related to the studies are expensed as incurred. Payments received
    prior to providing services are recorded as deferred revenue.

    CML generates revenue, primarily from CSL, based upon reimbursement of
    actual advertising and marketing expenses incurred plus a markup. Such
    revenue is eliminated in the combined financial statements.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents-Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits
    held at financial institutions and short-term investments purchased with
    remaining maturities of three months or less.

    Use of Estimates-Preparation of the Companies' financial statements in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
    to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
    and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
    balance sheet dates. The primary estimates underlying the Companies'
    combined financial statements include allowances for contract adjustments,
    deferred revenue, useful lives of long-lived assets and the amount of future
    earnings of acquisitions having contingent earnouts payable. Management
    bases its estimates on certain assumptions, which they believe are
    reasonable in the circumstances, and while actual results could differ from
    those estimates, management does not believe that changes in those
    assumptions in the near term would have a material effect on the Companies'
    combined financial position or results of operations.

    During 1996, the Companies revised their estimate of future employee
    benefits. Based on an analysis of actual employee activities, management
    revised their estimate of accrued nonvesting sick-pay benefits. The revision
    resulted in an increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 1996
    of approximately $190,000.

    Risks and Uncertainties-The Companies' businesses could be impacted by the
    failure of key customers, increasing competition in the pharmaceutical drug
    testing industry, federal and state legislation in the area of
    pharmaceutical drug testing and the departure of key trial investigators.
    Also, for a number of clinical trial programs, the Companies believe that
    industry protocols have resulted in final settlement of contract receivables
    being prolonged due to delays in the finalization of the testing program and
    data analysis. Changes in these areas could adversely impact the Companies'
    operations in the future.

    Business and Credit Concentrations-The Companies are involved in the
    performance of clinical research trials for pharmaceutical companies and
    contract research organizations. Credit is granted without collateral to
    these customers. During the year ended December 31, 1996, revenue from three
    customers represented 21%, 12% and 11% of combined revenue. During the year
    ended December 31, 1995, revenue from one customer represented 35% of
    combined revenue. The Companies' largest ten customers accounted for 65% of
    total accounts receivable at December 31, 1996, of which two customer
    balances represented 14% and 13%. No other customer balances exceeded 10% of
    total accounts receivable at December 31, 1996.

    Accounting Pronouncements--Effective January 1, 1996, the Companies adopted
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
    for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
    Disposed Of," and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
    In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Companies elected to
    account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of APB 25. The
    adoption of SFAS Nos. 121 and 123 did not have a material impact on the
    Companies' combined financial statements.


2.  CONTRACT RECEIVABLES

    Contract receivables consisted of the following at December 31:

                                                         1996           1995

    Substantially all of the Companies' contracts are subject to final
    adjustment upon close-out of the contracts with customers. Management
    estimates that such adjustments, if any, will not be materially different
    than the allowance recorded.

    Revolving Bank Line-of-Credit-On October 1, 1996, CSL entered into a
    $5,000,000 revolving line-of-credit agreement with a bank. Interest, payable
    monthly, is computed at 1/4% above the bank's base rate (7.86% at 
    December 31, 1996). Such agreement is collateralized by a security interest 
    in all assets and the stock of both CSL and CML. The agreement expires on 
    September 30, 1999. In connection with this line-of-credit agreement, CSL is
    subject to certain restrictive loan covenants, which provide for, among
    other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The most
    restrictive financial covenants are the requirement to combined net income
    of $100,000 per quarter and maintain a minimum net worth of $2.45 million at
    all times.

    Acquisition Notes Payable-In connection with the acquisitions during 1996
    (see Note 8), CSL issued uncollateralized promissory notes with maturity
    dates as follows:

       Amount                                                   Due Date

     $  250,000                                             January 1, 1998

    Interest on all acquisition notes payable is paid quarterly in arrears at an
    annual interest rate of 7%.

    In the event of a public offering of its shares by the Companies, these
    notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the note holders.

    Acquisition Earnouts Payable-In connection with one of the business
    acquisitions in 1996 (see Note 8), minimum earnout payments of $221,025 were
    established in the purchase agreement and have been accrued in the
    accompanying combined financial statements. These minimum payments are due
    as follows:

    Other Note Payable-CSL has a note payable, collateralized by a vehicle, with
    a financing company. Such note requires monthly payments of approximately
    $300 for principal and interest through September 1999 and is collateralized
    by the vehicle.

    Scheduled maturities of the note payable at December 31, 1996 are as
    follows:

    Capital Leases-CSL leases certain equipment under capital leases. At
    December 31, 1996 and 1995 the cost of this equipment was $210,000.
    Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately
    $126,000 and $84,000, respectively. The future minimum lease payments under
    the capital leases, together with the present value of the net minimum lease
    payments as of December 31, 1996, are as follows:

4.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

    The Companies participate in a profit-sharing plan (the "plan") for all
    employees which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Code. The plan covers
    all employees who have completed six months of service and have atttained
    age twenty-one. The Companies allow eligible employees to contribute up to
    15% of their compensation and the Companies may match up to 20% of the
    employees' first 5% of covered compensation. The Companies may elect to make
    additional contributions at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The
    Companies made contributions to the plan of approximately $14,500 and
    $34,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

5.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Included in operating expenses are discretionary management fees paid or
    accrued to the principal shareholders of CSL for management-related
    services. Approximately $987,000 and $1,700,000 of such management fees were
    incurred for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
    are included in operating expenses.

    A key officer of CSL entered into an employment agreement with CSL, dated
    January 1995, which entitled him to additional compensation of 5.5% of
    annual net profits and, in the event of an IPO or sale of CSL, 5% of the
    proceeds from any such transaction.

5.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

    In June of 1996, the principal shareholders in CSL decided to formalize
    their arrangement with this officer as to his equity participation in the
    business. To effect this decision, the employee was granted a 15% equity
    interest in CML, which was merged into CSL effective January 1, 1997. Based
    on an independent appraisal, the Company valued the transaction at $627,640
    and recorded the amount as a 1996 operating expense. On January 1, 1997, the
    officer entered into a new employment agreement with CSL, with no provisions
    as to the sharing of profits, or proceeds, in the event of an IPO or sale of
    CSL.

6.  COMMITMENTS

    Operating Leases-The Companies lease office space under renewable operating
    leases expiring through the year 2004. Such operating leases require the
    payment of monthly rent and certain operating expenses.

                                                              ==========

    Total rent expense was approximately $820,000 and $598,000 for the years
    ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

7.  PROFIT-SHARING AGREEMENT

    CSL has a profit-sharing agreement with a consultant to the Company. Such
    agreement provides for payments to be made to the individual based on 10% of
    income of the sites in existence at June 15, 1996, before taxes and certain
    management fees paid to officers of CSL, for the year. Amounts charged to
    expenses related to such agreements totaled approximately $314,000 and
    $433,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively (see Note 10).

    Under the same agreement, in the event that a majority interest in the
    common stock of CSL is sold by CSL's stockholders, CSL is obligated to pay
    to the former consultant an amount up to a combined total of 10% of the
    consideration received by the stockholders.

8.  ACQUISITIONS

    All acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of
    accounting, and operations of the acquired businesses have been included in
    the accompanying combined financial statements from their respective dates
    of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net
    assets acquired is allocated to goodwill, noncompete covenants and trained
    workforces. Most purchase agreements provide for contingent payments based
    on targeted annual income of the acquired business, for a period of up to
    five years. Any such future payments are generally capitalized as goodwill
    when paid.

    On August 31, 1996, CSL acquired the business and certain assets of a single
    site clinical research company in Sarasota, Florida for $300,000 plus
    contingent consideration based on profitability measures over the next five
    years. The purchase price consisted of $100,000 of cash and the issuance of
    two subordinated promissory notes of $100,000 each. The contingent payments
    will equal 15% of the increase in adjusted income before tax, of the
    acquired business, over the prior year's amount. In no event shall the
    contingent payments be less than $221,025. The full amount of the minimum
    payments was accrued for at the date of the acquisition.


    On October 4, 1996, CSL acquired the business and certain assets of a
    multi-site clinical research company in Pennsylvania for $6,850,000 plus
    contingent consideration based on profitability measures over the next five
    years. The purchase price consisted of $3,100,000 of cash and the issuance
    of two subordinated promissory notes of $2,000,000 and $1,750,000,
    respectively. The contingent payments will equal 15% of the excess of
    adjusted income before tax over $2,000,000 per year for five years and, in
    the case of an initial public offering of the Companies' stock, $750,000 of
    such stock.

    The cost of the acquisitions was preliminarily allocated on the basis of the
    estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
    This allocation resulted in goodwill of $6,966,000, noncompete agreements of
    $355,000 and trained workforces of $50,000.

9.  STOCK OPTIONS

    In 1996, the Board of Directors of CSL (the "Board") adopted the 1996 Equity
    Incentive Plan, under which incentive and nonqualified options to purchase
    up to 10 shares of CSL's common stock may be granted over a ten-year period
    to directors, officers, employees and consultants. All option grants, prices
    and vesting periods are determined by the Board. Incentive stock options may
    be granted at a price not less than fair market value on the date of grant,
    as determined by the Board.

</TABLE>

    CSL uses the intrinsic value method to measure compensation expense
    associated with grants of stock options to employees. Because the option
    exercise price significantly exceeds the estimated fair value of the
    Company's stock at the grant date, the weighted average fair value of
    options granted in 1996 was $0. Accordingly, had CSL used the fair value
    method to measure compensation, reported net income (before distributions)
    would not have changed for 1996.

    The fair value of options on their grant date was measured using the
    Black-Scholes option pricing model. Key assumptions used to apply this
    pricing model are as follows:

                                                                         1996
    Risk-free interest rate                                              5.5%
    Expected life of option grants                                     10 years
    Expected volatility of underlying stock                               --
    Expected dividend payment rate, as a percentage of the stock
      price on the date of grant                                          --

    The option pricing model used was designed to value readily tradeable stock
    options with relatively short lives. The options granted to employees are
    not tradeable and have contractual lives of up to ten years. However,
    management believes that the assumptions used to value the options and the
    model applied yield a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the grants
    made under the circumstances.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On January 1, 1997, CSL and CML merged operations into one Delaware
    Subchapter S Corporation, also named Clinical Studies Ltd. Each share of CSL
    and CML was converted to 5,324.53 shares and 1,562.27 shares, respectively,
    of the new entity.

    On March 12, 1997, the shareholders of CSL signed a letter of intent to
    exchange the stock of CSL for stock of PhyMatrix Corp. ("PhyMatrix"), a
    publicly traded company. The purchase price will be determined based on the
    average five-day trading price of the PhyMatrix stock prior to closing, less
    any closing adjustments. The transaction is subject to the approval and the
    satisfaction of certain conditions.

    On April 9, 1997, CSL acquired the business and certain assets of
    Neuropsychiatric Services of Greater Washington, Inc. for $725,000 plus
    contingent consideration based on revenue and profitability measures over
    the next five years. The contingent payments will equal 10% of the excess
    gross revenue, as defined, provided the gross operating margins of the
    acquired business exceed 30%.

    The Company is in negotiations to settle its obligations to a consultant
    under a profit-sharing agreement (see Note 7). On April 23, 1997, CSL
    received a letter of understanding from the consultant proposing to settle
    the obligations under his profit-sharing agreement. Under the terms of the
    proposed settlement, the consultant would receive $2.5 million in cash and a
    promissory note for approximately $2,000,000.

     Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation and amortization of equipment, leasehold improvements, and
     leased property under capital leases are computed using the straight-line
     method over 5 to 7 years, 31-1/2 years, and 5 years, respectively, for
     financial reporting purposes. Accelerated methods of depreciation and
     amortization are used for income tax purposes.

     Income Taxes
     ------------

     The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be
     treated as an S Corporation as provided under the Internal Revenue Code,
     whereby income taxes are the liability of the stockholders. Accordingly,
     the accompanying balance sheet does not include a liability for Federal or
     state taxes and the statement of operations and retained deficit does not
     include a provision for such income taxes. 

     Employee Benefit Plans
     ----------------------

     As of January 1, 1995, the Company began participating in a profit sharing
     plan for all employees. Such plan qualifies under section 401(k) of the
     Internal Revenue Code. The profit sharing plan covers all employees who
     have completed six months of service and have attained age twenty-one. The
     Company allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their
     compensation and the Company may match up to 20% of the employee's
     contribution for the first 5% of covered compensation. In addition, the
     Company may elect to make additional contributions at the discretion of the
     Board of Directors. 

     Estimates
     ---------

     Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
     that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
     of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Advertising
     -----------

     The Company expenses its advertising costs in the period in which such
     costs are incurred. 


2. SHORT-TERM FINANCING ARRANGEMENT 

     The Company has a line-of-credit agreement with a bank. The line-of-credit
     has maximum available borrowings of $175,000 and requires monthly payment
     of interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1%. Such note requires a 5%
     compensating cash balance and is 



                                       2


<PAGE>





     collateralized by all business assets and the personal guarantees of a
     stockholder and an officer of the Company. As of December 31, 1994, the
     Company had no outstanding borrowings on such line of credit.
 
     On October 1, 1996, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 revolving
     line-of-credit agreement with a bank. Interest, payable monthly, is
     computed at .25% above the bank's base rate. Such agreement is
     collateralized by a security interest in all assets and the stock of
     Clinical Studies Ltd. and Clinical Marketing Ltd., a company related
     through common ownership. The agreement expires on September 30, 1999. In
     connection with this line-of-credit agreement, Clinical Studies Ltd. is
     subject to certain restrictive covenants, which provide for, among other
     things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The most restrictive
     financial covenants are the requirement to earn combined net income of
     $100,000 per quarter and maintain a net worth of $2.45 million at all
     times. 

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

     Management fees consist of amounts paid for management related services to
     a stockholder and an officer of the Company who is related to the
     stockholders. Approximately $802,000 of such management fees were incurred
     for the year ended December 31, 1994. 

4. COMMITMENTS

     at varying dates through the year 1999. Such operating leases require the

           Present value of net minimum lease payments  .....   163,173

                                                                -------
           Long-term portion of obligation under 
             capital lease  .................................  $127,713
                                                               ========

     Consulting Agreement
     --------------------

     The Company has an agreement with a consultant whereby for consideration
     paid in the amount of $120,000, the consultant is to receive up to 10% of
     income, before taxes and certain management fees paid to officer of the
     Company for the year. The payment is limited to that percentage of net
     income (as specified in the agreement) of sites in existence on June 15,
     1996. In the event that a majority interest in the Company is sold, such
     consultant is entitled up to 10% of the proceeds of the sale.

     Contingent Obligations
     ----------------------

     As of December 31, 1995, in the event that a majority interest in the
     common stock of Clinical Studies Ltd. is sold by the Company's
     stockholders, Clinical Studies Ltd. is obligated to pay to one of its
     officers and another party an amount up to a combined total of 15% of the
     consideration received by the stockholders. Alternatively, in the event
     that Clinical Studies Ltd. registers a class of its equity securities under
     the Securities Act of 1933, the officer of Clinical Studies Ltd. will be
     entitled to receive 5% of such class of equity securities.


5. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
     concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash in the bank in
     excess of FDIC insurance limits and 



                                       4

<PAGE>


     accounts receivable - contracts. As of December 31, 1994, the Company has
     approximately $69,000 in the bank in excess of FDIC insurance limits. These
     funds are on deposit with a high credit quality financial institution.
     Management believes that credit risk with respect to accounts receivable -
     contracts is limited due to the large number of customers comprising the
     Company's customer base and the credit worthiness of its customer base. The
     Company has not experienced any significant credit losses.
 
     At December 31, 1994, two customers accounted for 100% of accounts
     receivable - contracts.

     Contract revenue associated with three pharmaceutical companies accounted
     for approximately 59% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994.

6.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     The accompanying statement of cash flows excludes the effect of the
     following noncash transactions:

     o During 1994, the lease of certain equipment resulted in an asset and
       obligation under capital lease of approximately $199,000;

     o During 1994, the Company entered into an agreement whereby a consultant
       receives 10% of the net profits of the company in exchange for
       consideration of $120,000. This consideration was an amount of a 
       liability which was due to such consultant. The effect of this 
       transaction was an increase of additional paid in capital and a reduction
       of deferred revenue of $120,000.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


     Clinical Marketing Ltd., a company owned by a shareholder and a relative of
     another shareholder of Clinical Studies, Ltd., began operations on

     services for the Company.
  
     On August 31, 1996, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of
