information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing 
elsewhere in this Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the 
section entitled "Risk Factors." Unless otherwise indicated, all financial 
and other information contained in this Prospectus (i) reflects the 
2.2-for-one stock dividend effected by the Company in August 1996, (ii) 
reflects the exchange of 1,441,666 shares of Common Stock for 2,883,332 Class

Option has not been exercised. 

                                 THE COMPANY 

   COMMUNITY CARE SERVICES, INC. (the "Company") is a provider of an 
extensive variety of home health care products and services, medical 
equipment and disposable medical supplies primarily in the five boroughs of 
New York City, and Westchester, Rockland, and Nassau Counties, New York, as 
well as northern New Jersey and southern Connecticut. The Company's equipment 
and products are generally used for acute (short term) and long term medical 
care, and respiratory, rehabilitative and wound care therapies. 

   The Company services the home health care market by coordinating with 
various health care workers and payor case managers to determine the home 
health needs for patients. The Company then supplies and delivers the 
necessary medical products and equipment to the patients' homes. The Company 
works with physicians, discharge planners, case/utilization managers, social 
workers, nurses, patients and family members to identify the home care 
products and equipment that are appropriate and cost effective, given the 
patients' diagnosis, for care, treatment and recovery at home. The Company 
has developed a diagnostic centered program pursuant to which its personnel 
is educated about the various needs of, and appropriate products for, 
patients with particular diseases such as cancer, AIDS or Alzheimer's 
disease, among others, and for particular classes of patients such as the 
developmentally disabled and hospice patients. The Company sells or rents, as 
appropriate, the relevant equipment and/or supplies to the patient, with 
payment generally received from Medicare, Medicaid, a private insurer and to 
a lesser extent, the patients themselves. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence 
Upon Third Party Reimbursement" and "Business -- Government Regulation and 
Reimbursement". The Company is accredited with commendation by the Joint 
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO"), a private 
not-for-profit organization which surveys and evaluates hospitals and health 
care organizations. A team of JCAHO experts surveys an organization every 
three years in accordance with established standards to determine its 
accreditation status, which ranges from a rating with commendation, the 
highest standard, to no accreditation, the lowest standard. 

   The Company's objective is to become a leading regional provider of 
comprehensive home health care equipment and products in the metropolitan New 
York/New Jersey/Connecticut tri-state region. The Company's strategy to 
achieve this objective is focused on continuing to provide to patients and 
referral sources an integrated program of equipment, products and services, 
while ensuring the highest quality delivery and set-up of medical equipment 
and products. The specific areas of growth that the Company intends to target 
are (i) increasing sales of basic medical equipment and disposable medical 
supplies it currently offers to customers; (ii) adding additional product 
lines for high growth markets, such as orthotics, mastectomy supplies and 
specialized wound care products; and (iii) aggressively expanding its 
position as a supplier of choice for home health care products to health 
maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations 
("PPOs"), and other managed care organizations and medical providers in the 
tri-state region. The Company has recently experienced growth in the medical 
supplies portion of its business since becoming a provider of disposable 
medical supplies for the largest certified home health care agency in New 
York. 

   The Company anticipates continued growth in the home health care market 
generally due to the increasing emphasis on cost effective medical treatment, 
the "Greying of our Society" and continuing advances in medical technology, 
although there can be no assurance as to any such growth or advances. 

                                        3

   The Company intends to seek out regional acquisition opportunities that 
are compatible with the Company's product lines and services. The Company has 
not identified any specific acquisitions and there can be no assurance that 
the Company will effect any acquisitions. 

   The Company was incorporated in the State of New York in July 1992 and 
acquired certain assets of Adam Health Care Equipment Corp. ("Adam"), a New 
York based durable medical equipment and supply company, in April 1993. The 
Company acquired the assets for cash and notes totaling $1,500,000. 
Approximately $450,000 was paid at or prior to the closing of the acquisition 
and the balance was payable in installments through March 31, 1995. The 
Company has not paid the balance and is seeking rescission of the obligation. 
See "Risk Factors -- Pending Litigation; Potential Adverse Impact of 
Counterclaims" and "Business -- Legal Proceedings". The principal executive 
offices of the Company are located at 18 Sargent Place, Mount Vernon, New 
York 10550 and its telephone number is (914) 665-9050.

                                 RISK FACTORS 

THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND SHOULD BE PURCHASED 
ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE 
COMPANY. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING 
RISK FACTORS, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS 
PROSPECTUS. 

   1. History of Operating Losses. From the acquisition of the assets of Adam 
in April 1993 through the end of the 1995 fiscal year, the Company had 
sustained ongoing losses. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $699,281 
and $271,356 from inception through March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, 
respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Company had a net 
loss of $322,691, a shareholders' deficit of $649,281 and a working capital 
deficit of $1,523,640. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Company 
had net income of $427,925, shareholders' equity of $103,764 and a working 
capital deficit of $978,683. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a 
shareholder's equity of $229,352 and a working capital deficit of $907,611. 
There can be no assurance as to the future profitability of the Company. See 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations." 

   2. Dependence Upon Third Party Reimbursement. Virtually all of the 
Company's revenues are attributable to payments received from third-party 
payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private insurers. 
For the three months ended June 30, 1996, 32.3% and 29.6% of the Company's 
revenues were derived from Medicare and Medicaid, respectively and for the 
fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, 35.4% and 36.4% of the Company's revenues 
were derived from Medicare and Medicaid programs, respectively. The revenues, 
cash flows and profitability of the Company, like those of other companies in 
the health care industry, are affected by the continuing efforts of 
third-party payors to control expenditures for health care. In addition, 
reimbursement can be influenced by the financial instability of private 
third-party payors and by budget pressures and cost shifting by governmental 
payors. A reduction in coverage or reimbursement rates by third-party payors 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. 
Additionally, the third party payors generally do not make payments until 
75-90 days after invoicing. See "Business -- Government Regulation and 
Reimbursement." 

   3. Reliance on Key Sources of Referral. During the three months ended June 
30, 1996, the Company's five largest sources of referral, the Visiting Nurse 
Service of New York -- Manhattan, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York -- 
Bronx, the Visiting Nurse Service -- Queens, the Visiting Nurse Service -- 
Brooklyn and Wyckoff Hospital accounted for approximately 28.8%, 16.3%, 
13.8%, 7.7% and 4.4%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. During 
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Visiting Nurse Service -- 
Manhattan, the Visiting Nurse Service -- Bronx, Wyckoff Hospital, the 
Hospital for Joint Diseases and the Visiting Nurse Service -- Queens 
accounted for 18.4%, 12.4%, 9.2%, 6.7% and 5.5%, respectively, of the 
Company's total revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the four 
borough offices of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York ("VNS") 
collectively accounted for 66.6% of the Company's revenues. Each of the VNS 
offices in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx place orders separately. 
However, if the parent office of VNS were to eliminate the Company as a 
provider, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its 
business. The loss of, or decrease in, business generated by any of its major 
sources of referral could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business. Although the Company has entered into agreements with various 
providers which govern the terms of reimbursement, the Company does not have 
any long term purchase orders but receives its purchase orders on an 
individual basis. See "Business -- Marketing Programs." 

   4. Government Regulation; Medicaid and Medicare Reimbursement; 
Anti-Kickback Laws. Health care in the U.S. is subject to laws and 
regulations of federal, state and local governments. The failure to obtain, 
renew or maintain required regulatory approvals or licenses, if any, could 
adversely affect the Company's business, and could prevent it from offering 
any or all of its products or services to patients. The Company is not 
currently subject to any material regulatory approvals or licenses. If the 
Company fails to comply with governmental requirements pertaining to Medicaid 
and Medicare reimbursements, the Company can be terminated as a Medicaid and 
Medicare service provider. This could jeopardize the ability of the Company 
to maintain reimbursement from other programs. There can be no assurance that 
federal, state or local laws or regulations will not be adopted which could 
increase the Company's cost of doing business, reduce reimbursement levels or 
otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial 
condition or operating results. See "Business -- Government Regulation and 
Reimbursement." 

                                      6 
<PAGE>

   As suppliers of services under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, the 
Company is also subject to Medicare and state health care program 
anti-kickback laws. These laws generally prohibit any remuneration for the 
referral of Medicare or Medicaid patients. Proposed federal legislation 
expands the anti-kickback laws to include referrals of any patients 
regardless of payor source. Violations of the anti-kickback laws may result 
in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the 
Medicare and state health programs such as Medicaid. 

   5. Pending Litigation; Potential Adverse Impact of Counterclaims Against 
the Company. In 1993, the Company commenced an action against Adam and its 
principals in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of 
Westchester. The action arises out of the acquisition of certain assets of 
Adam by the Company in April 1993. The complaint alleges that the defendants 
made numerous misrepresentations relating to the business previously 
conducted by Adam. The complaint seeks recovery of damages of $1,500,000, 
additional punitive damages, the reduction of the original purchase price or 
rescission of the original purchase agreement. The defendants have asserted 
counterclaims against the Company. The counterclaims seek the payment of the 
unpaid purchase price of $1,050,000 and collection expense of over $175,000. 
Defendants also allege various additional causes of action, claiming 
plaintiffs converted or interfered with the collection of property owned or 
due to defendants and seek damages of over $7,000,000, including $5,000,000 
in punitive damages. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the 
counterclaims. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be 
successful in recovering damages for its claims or in defending itself 
against the counterclaims. A judgment against the Company as a result of the 
counterclaims could have a material adverse effect on its business. The 
action is still in its final pre-trial stages and the Company expects a trial 
date to be set shortly. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings." 

   6. Immediate and Substantial Dilution. This Offering involves an immediate 
and substantial dilution to investors. Purchasers of shares of Common Stock 
in the Offering will incur an immediate dilution of $4.32 per share in the 
net tangible book value of their investment from the initial Offering price, 
which dilution amounts to approximately 83% of the initial Offering price per 
share of Common Stock. Investors in the offering will pay $5.20 per share of 
Common Stock (giving effect to the aggregate offering price per share of 
Common Stock and Class A Warrant), as compared with an average cash price of 
$.01 per share of Common Stock paid by existing shareholders. See "Dilution." 

   7. Competition. The home health care market is highly competitive and 
includes a large number of providers. Some of the Company's current and 
potential competitors have, or may obtain, significantly greater financial 
and marketing resources than the Company. There are relatively few barriers 
to entry in the local markets that the Company serves. Other companies, 
hospitals and health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") have entered the home 
health care market in the past and others may do so in the future. There can 
be no assurance that the Company will not encounter increased competition in 
the future that could limit its ability to maintain or increase its market 
share. Such increased competition could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business and results of operations. See "Business -- Competition." 

   8. Potential Liability; Adequacy of Insurance Coverage. Participants in 
the home health care market are subject to lawsuits alleging negligence, 
product liability or other similar legal theories, many of which involve 
large claims and significant defense costs. Although the Company currently 
maintains liability insurance intended to cover such claims, there can be no 
assurance that the coverage limits of such insurance will be adequate or that 
all such claims will be covered by the insurance. In addition, such insurance 
policies must be renewed annually. Such insurance varies in cost, is 
difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable 
terms, if at all. A successful claim in excess of the insurance coverage 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of 
operations. Claims, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also 
have a material adverse effect upon the Company's reputation. See "Business 
- -- Insurance." 

   9. Dependence on Key Personnel; Experience of Management. There are only 
two executive officers of the Company. The Company is dependent on the 
continued services of Alan T. Sheinwald, the Company's President and Chief 
Executive Officer and Allan Goldfeder, the Company's Chief Operating Officer. 
If such executive officers were to leave the Company, its operating results 
could be adversely affected. Following this Offering, there can be no 
assurance that, if the Company grows, the current management team will be 
able to continue to adequately manage the Company's affairs. Further, there 
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and hire 
additional qualified managers on terms economically feasible for the Company. 
See "Management -- Directors, Executive Officers and Key Employees." 

                                      7 
<PAGE>

   10. Control by Current Shareholders and Management. Upon completion of 
this Offering, the current shareholders of the Company will beneficially own 
78.44% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Company's directors and 
executive officers and their affiliates will control approximately 76.92% of 
the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, these shareholders will 
be able to determine the outcome of certain corporate actions requiring 
shareholder approval, and will be able to elect the Board of Directors of the 
Company. Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of preventing a 
change in control of the Company. See "Dilution," "Principal Shareholders" 
and "Description of Securities." 

   11. Broad Discretion in Application of Proceeds; Unspecified Acquisitions. 
Approximately 58.5% of the net proceeds of this Offering, or $3,134,291, will 
be applied to working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, 
the Company may utilize a portion of the net proceeds of this Offering 
currently allocated to working capital for potential acquisitions. As of the 
date of this Prospectus, the Company has not identified any particular 
acquisition targets. Shareholders of the Company may have no opportunity to 
approve specific acquisitions or to review the financial condition of any 
potential target. Accordingly, management of the Company will have broad 
discretion over the use of proceeds. See "Use of Proceeds." 

   12. Shareholder Inability to Review and Vote on Any Unspecified 
Acquisitions. Pursuant to New York Corporate law, the Company's Board of 
Directors has the authority to approve unspecified acquisitions to be made by 
the Company. Such acquisitions are not subject to review or voting by the 
shareholders of the Company. 

   13. Benefits to Affiliates. Certain of the Company's shareholders and 
former shareholders and their affiliates have made loans to the Company in an 
aggregate principal amount equal to $255,409. The Company intends to use the 
proceeds of this Offering to repay these loans as follows: $135,409 to Dean 
L. Sloane, a director and shareholder of the Company; $15,000 to each of 
Manuel N. Wilson and Wade Wilson, former shareholders; and $90,000 to At Home 
Health Care Supplies, Inc., an affiliate of two former shareholders of the 
Company. See "Use of Proceeds." 

   14. Repayment of Debt. Approximately 12.4% of the proceeds of this 
Offering, or $667,500, will be used to repay 8% promissory notes issued by 
the Company in connection with a private placement in January 1996. In 
addition, approximately 5.7% of the proceeds of this Offering, or $304,000, 
will be used to pay 8% promissory notes issued by the Company in August and 
September, 1996 to fund its operating expenses. See "Management's Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity 
and Capital Resources." 

   15. No Dividends and None Anticipated. To date, no dividends have been 
declared or paid on the Common Stock, and the Company does not anticipate 
declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather 
intends to reinvest profits, if any, in its business. Investors should, 
therefore, be aware that it is unlikely that any dividends will be paid on 
the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy." 

   16. Lack of Market; Possible Volatility of Stock Price; Arbitrary 
Determination of Offering Price. Prior to this Offering, there has been no 
public market for the Company's Common Stock or Warrants, and there can be no 
assurance that an active market in any securities of the Company will develop 
or be sustained after this Offering. In the absence of an active public 
trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his or her investment. 
The price of the shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants being offered 
hereby, and the exercise price and other terms of the Warrants, were 
determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriters and are 
not necessarily related to the Company's assets, earnings, book value per 
share, its results of operations or any other generally accepted criteria of 
value and should not be construed as indicative of their value. See 
"Underwriting." 

   The stock market has, from time to time, experienced significant price and 
volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of any 
particular company. In addition, the market prices of the securities of many 
publicly-traded companies in the health care industry have in the past been, 
and in the future can be expected to be, especially volatile. Various factors 
and events, including future announcements of new services or products 
offered by the Company or its competitors, developments or disputes 
concerning, among other things, regulatory developments in the United States, 
and economic and other external factors, as well as fluctuations in the 
Company's financial results, could have a significant impact on the market 
price of the Company's securities. 

   17. Concurrent Offering by Selling Securityholders; Potential Adverse 
Impact on Price and Liquidity. Concurrently with this Offering, the Company 
is registering for sale an aggregate of 220,000 shares of Common 

                                      8 
<PAGE>

Stock and 4,158,332 Class A Warrants owned by the Selling Securityholders. 
Such Selling Securityholders holding Warrants have entered into an agreement 
with the Representative not to sell their Warrants for a period of two years 
from the Effective Date without the Representative's prior written consent. 
Selling Securityholders owning shares of Common Stock have entered into an 
Agreement with the Representative not to sell their shares for a period of 18 
months from the Effective Date without the Representative's written consent. 
The Company anticipates that certain Selling Securityholders may request a 
release from their lock up agreements. The Representative has the discretion 
to release such lock-ups and has indicated that its decision to grant such 
consent will be dependent on market conditions. The sale of such securities 
could have an adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of the 
Company's securities. 

   18. Shares Eligible for Future Sale. Of the 4,730,000 shares of Common 
Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus, 4,638,334 
shares are "restricted securities," which are owned by "affiliates" of the 
Company, as those terms are defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 
Securities Act. 

   Absent registration under the Securities Act, the sale of such "restricted 
securities" is subject to Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act. 
In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other 
conditions, a person, including an affiliate of the Company, who has 
beneficially owned restricted shares of Common Stock for at least two years 
is entitled to sell in brokerage transactions, within any three-month period, 
a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number 
of outstanding shares of the same class, or if the Common Stock is quoted on 
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market or a stock exchange, the average weekly trading 
volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale. Rule 144 also 
permits a person who presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of 
the Company for at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who 
has beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock for at least three years to 
sell such shares without regard to any of the volume limitations as described 
above. 

   Also being registered for sale pursuant to the Selling Securityholders' 
Prospectus are 220,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,158,332 Class A Warrants 
and the shares underlying such Warrants. All of the Company's existing 
shareholders have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of their 
warrants or shares of Common Stock now owned or issuable upon the exercise of 
currently exercisable warrants for a period of 24 months from the date of 
this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of the Representative, 
except for the shareholders owning the 220,000 shares listed in the Selling 
Securityholders' Prospectus who have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose 
of any of their shares for a period of 18 months from the date of this 
Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representative. The 
Representative may release any shareholder from the "lock-up" agreement, 
although not prior to the exercise or expiration of the Over-Allotment 
Option. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of 
shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have 
on the market prices of the Company's securities prevailing from time to 
time. The possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be sold 
pursuant to the Selling Securityholders' Prospectus or under Rule 144 into 
the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the 
Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital in the 
future through the sale of equity securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future 
Sale." 

   19. Potential Adverse Effect of Future Issuances of Authorized Preferred 
Stock. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 
serial preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may 
be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the 
Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue 
preferred stock, with such rates of dividends, redemption provisions, 
liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion privileges and other 
characteristics as the Board of Directors may deem necessary. Such preferred 
stock, if issued, could adversely affect the holders of the Common Stock. In 
addition, the preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a takeover 
of the Company. The Company has no present intention to issue any shares of 
Preferred Stock. See "Description of Securities." 

   20. Dilutive Effect of Underwriters' Warrant and other Options. Upon 
completion of this Offering, the Company will sell to the Underwriters a 
Warrant to purchase up to 130,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants, at a 
price per share of Common Stock or Warrant equal to 165% of the initial 
public Offering price of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants. The 
Underwriters' Warrant will be exercisable at any time during the four-year 
period commencing one year from the Effective Date of this Offering. As of 
the date of this Prospectus, there are outstanding Warrants to purchase an 
aggregate of 4,158,332 shares of Common Stock and options 

                                        9
<PAGE>


to purchase an aggregate of 28,000 shares of Common Stock. If the 
Underwriters' Warrant and the outstanding Warrants and options are exercised, 
the percentage of Common Stock then held by the existing shareholders will be 
reduced. The Underwriters' Warrant and the outstanding Warrants and options 
can be expected to be exercised at a time when the Company would be able to 
obtain funds from the sale of Common Stock or other securities at a price 
higher than the exercise price thereof. See "Underwriting." 

   21. Need for Additional Financing. The Company believes that the proceeds 
of the Offering will be sufficient to finance the Company's working capital 
requirements for a period of at least 12 months following the completion of 
this Offering. However, the Company is required to maintain a high level of 
inventory relative to its business, and accounts receivable are paid 
primarily by third party payors who do not generally make payments until 
75-90 days after invoicing. A greater than anticipated increase in volume may 
require the Company to seek additional financing during such periods. In 
addition, the Company's strategy is to acquire companies with related and 
complementary businesses, although the Company has not presently identified 
any specific acquisitions. The Company may require financing in connection 
with acquisitions. The Company could also require financing if the defendants 
in the Adams litigation prevailed in their counterclaims. There can be no 
assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to 
the Company, or at all. In addition, for a period of two years following the 
Effective Date, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock (other than 
pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan) without the Representative's Consent 
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Such limitation may adversely 
affect the Company's ability to obtain financing. See "Underwriting." In the 
event that the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing as it 
becomes necessary, the Company will not be able to achieve all of its 
business plans. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations." 

   22. The Nasdaq SmallCap Market Maintenance Requirements; Possible 
Delisting of Securities from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market; Risks of Low-Priced 
Stocks. Prior to this Offering, there has been no established public trading 
market for the Company's securities and there is no assurance that a public 
trading market for the Company's securities will develop after the completion 
of this Offering. If a trading market does in fact develop for the securities 
offered hereby, there can be no assurance that it will be sustained. 

   The Common Stock and Warrants have been approved for quotation on The 
Nasdaq SmallCap Market upon the Effective Date. The Commission has approved 
rules imposing criteria for listing of securities on The Nasdaq SmallCap 
Market, including standards for maintenance of such listing. For continued 
listing, a company, among other things, must have at least $2,000,000 in 
total assets, $1,000,000 in capital and surplus and a minimum bid price of 
$1.00 per share. If the Company is unable to satisfy The Nasdaq SmallCap 
Market's maintenance criteria in the future, its securities may be delisted 
from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In the event the Company's securities are 
delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and not traded on any other 
exchange, trading, if any, in securities would, thereafter, be conducted in 
the over-the-counter on the OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently, an investor may 
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to 
the price of the Company's securities. Quotation on The Nasdaq SmallCap 
Market does not imply that a meaningful, sustained market for the Company's 
securities will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained for any 
period of time. 

   23. Potential Adverse Effect of Redemption of Warrants. The Warrants 
offered hereby are redeemable, in whole or in part, at a price of $.05 per 
Warrant, commencing two years after the Effective Date and prior to their 
expiration; provided that (i) prior notice of not less than 30 days is given 
to the Warrantholders; (ii) the closing high bid price if traded on Nasdaq, 
or the last sale price if traded on a national exchange, per share of Common 
Stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third business 
day prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of redemption has 
been at least $8.00 for the Class A Warrants; and (iii) Warrantholders shall 
have exercise rights until the close of the business day preceding the date 
fixed for redemption. Notice of redemption of the Warrants could force the 
holders to exercise the Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it 
may be disadvantageous for them to do so, or to sell the Warrants at the 
current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold them, or to 
accept the redemption price, which may be substantially less than the market 
value of the Warrants at the time of redemption. The Warrants may not be 
exercised unless the registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act 
covering the underlying shares of Common Stock is current and such shares 
have been qualified for sale, or there is an exemption from applicable 
qualification requirements, 

                                       10
<PAGE>

under the securities laws of the of the state of residence of the holder of 
the Warrants. Although the Company does not presently intend to do so, the 
Company reserves the right to call the Warrants for redemption whether or not 
a current prospectus is in effect or such underlying shares are not, or 
cannot be, registered in the applicable states. Such restrictions could have 
the effect of preventing certain Warrantholders from liquidating their 
Warrants. See "Description of Securities -- Warrants." 

   24. Current Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration Required to 
Exercise Warrants. Holders of the Warrants will have the right to exercise 
the Warrants for the purchase of shares of Common Stock only if a current 
prospectus relating to such shares is then in effect and only if the shares 
qualified for sale under the securities laws of the applicable state or 
states. The Company has undertaken and intends to file and keep effective and 
current a prospectus which will permit the purchase and sale of the Common 
Stock underlying the Warrants, but there can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to do so. Although the Company intends to seek to qualify for 
sale the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants in those states in 
which the securities are to be offered, no assurance can be given that such 
qualifications will occur. The Warrants may lose or be of no value if a 
prospectus covering the shares issuable upon the exercise thereof is not kept 
current or if such underlying shares are not, or cannot be, registered in the 
applicable states. See "Description of Securities -- Warrants." 

   25. Penny Stock Regulation. In the event that the Company is unable to 
satisfy the maintenance requirements for The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, trading 
would be conducted on the "pink sheets' or the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board. In 
the absence of the Common Stock being quoted on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, 
or the Company's having at least $2,000,000 in stockholders' equity, trading 
in the Common Stock would be covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for 
non-Nasdaq and non-exchange listed securities. Under such rule, 
broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than 
established customers and institutional accredited investors must make a 
special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the 
purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are 
exempt from this rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share. 

   The Commission adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to 
be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, 
subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include an equity security 
listed on Nasdaq, or an equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net 
tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous 
operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, 
if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or 
(iii) average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the preceding three years. 
Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior 
to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule 
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. 

   If the Company's securities were to become subject to the regulations 
applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for the securities would be 
severely affected, limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the 
securities and the ability of purchasers in this Offering to sell their 
securities in the secondary market. There is no assurance that trading in the 
Company's securities will not be subject to these or other regulations that 
would adversely affect the market for such securities. 

   26. Relationship of Underwriters to Trading; Potential Adverse Impact on 
Liquidity and Market Price of Securities. The Underwriters may act as brokers 
or dealers with respect to the purchase or sale of the Common Stock and the 
Warrants in the over-the-counter market where each is expected to trade. The 
Representative also has the right to act as the Company's exclusive agent in 
connection with any future solicitation of Warrantholders to exercise their 
Warrants. Unless granted an exemption by the Commission from Rule 10b-6 under 
the Exchange Act, the Representative will be prohibited from engaging in any 
market-making activities or solicited brokerage activities with regard to the 
Company's securities during a period beginning nine business days prior to 
the commencement of any such solicitation and ending on the later of the 
termination of such solicitation activity or the termination (by waiver or 
otherwise) of any right the Representative may have to receive a fee for the 
exercise of the Warrants following such solicitation. As a result, the 
Representative and soliciting broker/dealers may be unable to continue to 
make a market in the Company's securities during certain periods while the 
exercise of the Warrants is being solicited. Such a limitation, while in 
effect, could impair the liquidity and market price of the Company's 
securities. 

                                       11
<PAGE>

   27. Consulting Agreement with Representative; Obligation to Make Payment 
Out of Offering Proceeds. The Company has agreed to retain the Representative 
as a financial consultant for a three-year period commencing on the Effective 
Date. The consulting fees are payable to the Representative upon the closing 
of the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds." 

   28. Non-Registration in Certain Jurisdictions of Shares Underlying the 
Warrants. Although the shares of Common Stock and Warrants will not knowingly 
be sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which they are not registered or 
otherwise qualified for sale, purchasers may buy Warrants in the aftermarket 
or may move to jurisdictions in which the shares of Common Stock issuable 
upon exercise of the Warrants are not so registered or qualified during the 
period that the Warrants are exercisable. In such event, the Company would be 
unable to issue shares to those persons desiring to exercise their Warrants 
unless and until the shares could be registered or qualified for sale in the 
jurisdiction in which such purchasers reside, or an exemption to such 
qualification exists or is granted in such jurisdiction. If the Company was 
unable to register or qualify the shares in a particular state and no 
exemption to such registration or qualification was available in such 
jurisdiction, in order to realize any economic benefit from the purchase of 
the Warrants, a holder might have to sell the Warrants rather than exercise 
them. No assurance can be given, however, as to the ability of the Company to 
effect any required registration or qualification of the Common Stock or 
Warrants in any jurisdiction in which registration or qualification has not 
already been completed. See "Description of Securities -- Warrants." 

                                       12

                               USE OF PROCEEDS 

   The gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and Warrants in 
this Offering are estimated to be $6,760,000 and the offering expenses are 
estimated to be $1,398,800 including underwriting commissions of $608,400, 
the Underwriters' non-accountable expense allowance of $202,800, consulting

approximately $5,361,200 ($6,253,520 if the Over-Allotment Option is 
exercised in full), after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and 
offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the 
proceeds as follows:

(4) Includes the repayment of principal and accrued interest pursuant to 
    promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $937,500. The 
    proceeds from such notes provided working capital which the Company used 
    to fund the expansion of its business. 

   The foregoing represents the Company's estimate of the allocation of the 
net proceeds of the Offering, based upon the current status of its operations 
and anticipated business plans. It is possible, however, that the application 
of funds will differ considerably from the estimates set forth herein due to 
changes in the economic climate and/or the Company's planned business 
operations or anticipated complications, delays and expenses, as well as any 
potential acquisitions that the Company may consummate, although no specific 
acquisition has been identified. Any reallocation of the net proceeds will be 
at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. 

   Pending the foregoing uses, a portion of the net proceeds of this Offering 
may be invested in certificates of deposit, United States government 
obligations, prime commercial paper, money market funds or similar short- 
term investments. 

   The Company estimates that the net proceeds from this Offering will be 
sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and working capital requirements 
for a period of 12 months from the completion of this Offering. In the event 
that the Company consummates any acquisition, such funds will be derived from 
the funds currently allocated to working capital or from revenues generated 
from the Company's operations. There can be no assurance that the Company 
will generate sufficient revenues for such acquisitions. Additional working 
capital financing may be required to finance the costs of the Company's 
marketing and business plans. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital 
Resources."

Company's earnings, financial condition and capital requirements.

                                   DILUTION 


   At June 30, 1996, the Company had a net tangible book value (deficit) of 
$(317,349), or $(.07) per share of outstanding Common Stock. Net tangible 
book value per share represents the Company's total tangible assets less 
total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock 
outstanding. After giving effect to receipt of the estimated net proceeds 
from the Company's sale of 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,300,000 
Class A Warrants (after deducting the estimated offering expenses), the pro 
forma net tangible book value of the Company would have been approximately 
$5,336,332, or approximately $.88 per share of outstanding Common Stock, at 
June 30, 1996. This represents an immediate dilution of $4.32 per share, or 
83%, to purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering. The following table 
illustrates the per share dilution to be incurred by the public investors in 
the Offering:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

   The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with 
the Financial Statements and related Notes contained elsewhere in this 
Prospectus. 

GENERAL 

   The Company was formed to acquire and operate a home health care medical 
equipment and supply business. It commenced operations in July 1992 and in 
April 1993 expanded its operations by acquiring certain Adam assets, 
primarily rental equipment and customer lists. 

FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 
1995 

   Net revenues increased by $3,240,865, or 110.2%, to $6,181,757 at March 
31, 1996 from $2,940,892 at March 31, 1995. The increase in revenues was due 
primarily to the Company's expansion of its medical supply lines and 
rehabilitation products division. 

   Cost of net revenues increased by $1,175,755, or 101.4%, to $2,335,751 for 
the year ended March 31, 1996 from $1,159,996 for the year ended March 31, 
1995. Cost of net revenues decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 37.8% 
for the year ended March 31, 1996 from 39.4% for the year ended March 31, 
1995. This decrease in cost of net revenues as a percentage of net revenues 
in the year ended March 31, 1996 is primarily attributable to several volume 
discounts received by the Company in connection with the initial bulk 
purchases of medical supplies when the Company became a provider to the 
largest certified home health care agency in New York. 

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,038,294, or 
64.0%, to $2,660,071 at March 31, 1996 from $1,621,777 at March 31, 1995 
representing a decrease as a percentage of net revenues of 12.1%, to 43% from 
55.1%. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues was primarily attributed 
to certain fixed selling, general and administrative expenses remaining 
constant as revenue increased. Selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased due to the hiring of additional personnel to support the growth in 
the Company's sales. 

   The Company had income from operations of $779,158 for the year ended 
March 31, 1996, as compared to a loss from operations of ($210,893) for the 
year ended March 31, 1995. This was mainly attributed to the Company's 
significant increase in revenue while certain operating costs did not 
increase proportionally with the increase in revenue. To a lesser degree, the 
increased profits were also due to the expiration of certain intangible 
assets which expired in the March 31, 1995 fiscal year and decreased legal 
fees in the year ended March 31, 1996. 

   Interest expense increased by $43,435, or 38.9%, to $155,233 at March 31, 
1996 from $111,798 at March 31, 1995. The increase was due to an increase in 
outstanding indebtedness. 

   The Company had net income of $427,925 at March 31, 1996, compared with a 
net loss of $(322,691) at March 31, 1995. 

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 
1995 

   Net revenues increased by $1,445,141, or 138.7%, to $2,487,381 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1,042,240 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of the 
Company's medical supply business after the Company became a provider of 
disposable medical supplies for the largest certified home health care agency 
in New York and further development of the Company's rehabilitation products 
division. 

   Cost of net revenues increased by $682,358, or 162.1%, to $1,103,358 for 
the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $421,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995. Cost of net revenues increased as a percentage of net revenues 
to 44.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 40.4% for the three 
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in percentage of cost of net 
revenues was due to the increase in net revenues from the 

                                      17 
<PAGE>

sale of medical supplies which has a higher product cost than durable medical 
equipment and additionally, the increased sales, rather than rentals, of 
durable medical equipment which results in a higher product cost for such 
equipment. Management does not anticipate that the sales of medical supplies 
as a percentage of the Company's net revenues will further materially 
increase. 

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $530,423, or 
110.7%, to $1,009,743 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $479,320 
for the three months ended June 30, 1995, but decreased as a percentage of 
net revenues to 40.6%, from 46.0%. The decrease in expenses as a percentage 
of net revenues was primarily due to fixed expenses remaining constant as net 
revenues increased. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 
due to the hiring of additional personnel to support the growth in the 
Company's sales. 

   Income from operations increased by $222,793 to $288,461 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 from income from operations of $65,668 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1995. The operating income as a percentage of net 
revenues was 11.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 
6.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due 
to the increase in net revenues and a decrease in the selling, general and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues as stated above. 

   Interest expense increased by $38,142, or 146.4%, to $64,201 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 from $26,059 for the three months ended June 30, 
1995. The increase in outstanding indebtedness resulted from the Company's 
need to finance its expansion. The Company experienced a .1% increase in 
interest expense as a percentage of net revenues to 2.6% for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996 from 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1995. 

   The Company had net income of $125,558 for the three months ended June 30, 
1996 and net income of $39,609 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

   The Company's primary need for funds is to provide working capital to 
support its business plans. From inception through the end of fiscal 1994, 
the Company financed its operations, in part, through loans from its officers 
and directors in the aggregate principal amount of $245,200. The Company has 
also financed its operations through credit obtained from vendors, and, to a 
lesser extent, from credit lines and bank notes. In connection with the 
expansion of its business, the Company entered into lease agreements relating 
to the purchase of inventory and rental equipment at interest rates ranging 
from 9% to 13% per year. The Company currently has seven lease financing 
agreements outstanding with three vendors which it expects to satisfy out of 
cash provided by operating activities. 

   Because of an increased need for working capital as a result of the 
expansion of the Company's business, the Company completed two equity private 
placements and one debt financing. Between April and December 1995, the 
Company received net proceeds of $99,870 from the sale of 1,041,666 shares of 
its Common Stock. In January 1996, the Company completed a private placement 
of 500,000 shares of Common Stock for a net consideration to the Company of 
$212,500. (In August 1996, 1,441,666 of such shares of Common Stock were 
exchanged for 2,883,332 Class A Warrants.) In February 1996, the Company 
completed a private placement of 25.5 units, each unit comprised of a 
promissory note in the principal amount of $25,000 with interest payable at a 
rate of 8% per year and 50,000 Class A Warrants. The net consideration 
received by the Company in connection with this debt financing was $553,500. 
The Company is obligated to repay the aggregate principal amount of $637,500 
plus accrued interest on the 8% notes from the proceeds of the Offering. The 
Company also intends to repay, with the proceeds of the Offering, the related 
party loans in the aggregate principal amount of $255,409 (representing the 
original loans from officers and directors in the aggregate principal amount 
of $245,200 plus $10,209 of accrued interest which has been added to 
principal). See "Use of Proceeds." 

   In January 1996, one of the Company's vendors advanced funds to enable the 
Company to satisfy in full an outstanding line of credit with NatWest Bank in 
the aggregate principal amount of $106,338. As a result, the Company has 
outstanding a one year note, secured by inventory, with such vendor in the 
aggregate principal amount of $106,338 with monthly principal payments of 
$8,870 and interest at a rate of 1% over the prime rate of Chase Manhattan 
Bank, N.A. The Company currently has a credit facility with the Bank of New 
York in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 which is fully drawn down, 
with interest payable monthly at a rate of 

                                      18 
<PAGE>

1.0% above the prime rate of the Bank of New York, as announced from 
time-to-time. At June 30, 1996, the Company had negative working capital of 
$(907,611). In August and September 1996, the Company received three loans 
each in the principal amount of $100,000 with interest accruing at a rate of 
8% per year. The Company intends to repay such loan out of the proceeds of 
the Offering. Virtually all of the Company's revenues are attributable to 
payments received from third party payors who generally do not make payments 
for 75 to 90 days after invoicing. In order to manage the delay between 
invoicing and receipt of payment, the Company has entered into various 
financing arrangements to fund operations. See "Use of Proceeds." 

   The Company believes that internally generated funds and the proceeds of 
this Offering will provide sufficient liquidity and enable it to meet its 
currently foreseeable working capital requirements for at least the next 12 
months. However, the Company may need to obtain additional financing to meet 
its growth objectives or to continue its operations. There can be no 
assurance that additional financings will be available if and when needed by 
or on terms acceptable to the Company. Potential sources for any such 
financings have not yet been identified. See "Risk Factors -- Need for 
Additional Financing." In addition, for a period of two years following the 
Effective Date, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock (other than 
pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan) without the prior written consent of 
the Representative. Such limitation could adversely affect the Company's 
ability to obtain additional financing. See "Underwriting." 

   The Company believes that the adoption by the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 
121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" 
and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based-Compensation" will not have a 
material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of 
operations. 

   The Company believes that a final judgment in the Adams litigation in its 
favor would not affect its liquidity, operations or capital resources, 
because management believes that a judgement in the Company's favor would 
result in a reduction of the purchase price to be paid by the Company for the 
assets and the Company's current portion of long-term debt would be reduced 
accordingly. If the defendants were to prevail, the Company would, in all 
likelihood, attempt to obtain the necessary financing to satisfy any 
additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to a judgment requiring 
payment of the original purchase price. The Company does not believe such a 
judgment would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, operations 
and capital resources. Although the Company does not believe that a judgment 
in favor of the defendants would include punitive damages, should such a 
judgment be awarded, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
liquidity, operations and capital resources. 

SEASONALITY 

   The Company generally has not experienced seasonal fluctuation. 

INFLATION 

   The Company believes that the relatively moderate rates of inflation in 
recent years have not had a significant impact on its net revenues or its 
profitability. 

                                       19

                                   BUSINESS 

   The Company is a provider of an extensive variety of home health care 
products and services, durable medical equipment, and disposable medical 
supplies in the metropolitan New York region. The Company services the home 
health care market by coordinating with various health care workers and payor 
case managers to determine the home health needs of patients. In April 1993, 
the Company acquired certain assets of Adam, including inventory, office 
equipment and an assignment of the office lease, for a purchase price of 
$1,500,000. Approximately $450,000 was paid at or prior to the closing of the 
Acquisition, with the balance payable in installments through March 31, 1995. 
The Company has not paid the balance and is seeking a rescission of the 
payment obligations. See "Legal Proceedings." Since acquiring the assets of 
Adam, the Company's management has expanded operations by implementing a 
sales strategy focusing on an informed diagnostic-centered approach, signing 
new major payor contracts with additional HMOs and PPOs including Metro Plus 
Health Maintenance Organization, Beech Street Corporation, Group Health 
Insurance, Inc. and MultiPlan Inc., and offering new equipment, products and 
services such as low air loss beds, alternating pressure beds and standing 
wheelchairs. In addition, the Company has recently significantly increased 
its sales of medical supplies as a result of becoming a provider of 
disposable medical supplies for the largest certified home health care agency 
in New York. 

   The Company anticipates continued growth in the home health care market 
due to increasing emphasis on cost effective medical treatment, the "Greying 
of Our Society" and continuing advances in medical technology. The over-65 
population, which has a higher incidence of illness and disability, continues 
to increase. At the same time, home treatment of medical needs as compared 
with hospital treatment is generally considered more cost effective. The 
increased acceptance of home care has been bolstered by medical technological 
advances which have facilitated the maintenance of high medical standards in 
home care. The Company believes that cost containment initiatives of managed 
care providers and continued limitations on reimbursement to hospital and 
other institutions will contribute to continued strong demand for home 
medical equipment and products. 

MARKET OVERVIEW 

   Based on market research prepared by FIND/SVP, Inc., an independent New 
York city-based research firm, the Company estimates that the size of the 
home health care market in 1992 was $20 billion and is expected to grow to 
$42.5 billion by 1996. The Company estimates that the local tri-state market 
(New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) was $4.2 billion in 1992, growing to 
$8.5 billion by 1996. 

   Aging Population. According to FIND/SVP, Inc., the number of individuals 
over 65 in the U.S. has grown from 25.7 million in 1980, or 11.3%, of the 
population, to approximately 31.6 million in 1990, or 12.6%, of the 
population and is projected to increase to more than 33.8 million, or 13%, of 
the population by 1996. The elderly have traditionally accounted for two to 
three times the average per capita share of health care expenditures. As the 
number of Americans over 65 increases, the need for home health care services 
is also expected to increase. The Company estimates that 4.0 million people 
will reach the age of 65 by 1996 in its local market. 

   Cost Effectiveness of Home Health Care Services. According to FIND/SVP, 
Inc., health care expenditures in the United States increased from 
approximately $248 billion in 1980 (9.1% of the gross national product 
("GNP") to approximately $666 billion in 1990 (12.2% of GNP). In response to 
rapidly rising costs, governmental (Medicare and Medicaid) and private payors 
have adopted costs and containment measures that encourage reduced hospital 
admissions, reduced lengths of stay in the hospitals, and delayed nursing 
home/institutional admission. For example, the current hospital reimbursement 
methodology is based on patient diagnosis with very specific limitations on 
the length of hospital stays, leading to the earlier discharge of patients 
from hospitals. These measures have, in turn, fostered an increase in home 
health care which, when appropriate, generally provides medically necessary 
equipment and products at significantly less expense than in an institutional 
setting. 

   Physician Acceptance. In the last decade, the medical profession has shown 
greater acceptance of home health care in the clinical management of patient 
care. Evidencing this greater acceptance, the American Medical Association 
Councils on Scientific Affairs and Medical Education have recommended that 
training in the principles and practice of home health care be incorporated 
into the undergraduate, graduate and continuing 


                                       20
<PAGE>

education programs for physicians. In addition, the reimbursement guidelines 
of payor sources (which are increasingly drafted to limit or avoid hospital 
treatment) have created a climate in which physicians must prescribe and 
arrange for home health equipment and products for their patients. 

   Advanced Technology. Advances in technology have enabled numerous patients 
who previously required hospitalization to be treated at home without 
sacrificing the quality of care. The advances in the miniaturization and 
computerization of equipment have fostered the development of portable 
medical equipment. For example, such advances have enabled patients requiring 
acute respiratory care to be treated at home because of the availability of 
portable respiratory equipment. In addition, the development of advanced 
seating and positioning equipment and power vehicles (such as wheelchairs and 
scooters) have greatly enhanced the feasibility of home care for many 
developmentally disabled individuals, as well as patients suffering from 
stroke, paralysis and head injuries. The number of medical conditions that 
can be treated in the home is growing significantly. These conditions include 
incontinence, wounds, diabetes, infections and infectious diseases (including 
AIDS-related infections), impaired digestive tracts and various forms of 
cancer. 

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES 

   The Company services patients referred to the Company by nurses, 
physicians, social workers and payor case managers, as well as discharge 
planners at hospitals, HMOs, PPOs and rehabilitation centers. Working with 
these individuals, the Company's personnel coordinate the delivery and set-up 
of the products and supplies to be used by patients in their home recovery 
and care. Upon receipt of an order, the Company will arrange for the 
appropriate products and supplies to be delivered to the patient at home. At 
the time of delivery, the Company's personnel will set up equipment as 
necessary and spend time with the patient and/or care givers to explain the 
proper use of the medical equipment delivered. The Company handles customer 
service inquiries via an 800 telephone number and will generally send its 
personnel to visit the patient if necessary to rectify any problems that may 
arise. 

   The primary categories of products provided by the Company (and examples 
of the products available in each category) are set forth below: 

Durable Medical Equipment              -- Hospital beds

   The Company's inventory is housed in its 20,000 square foot 
office/warehouse facility in Mount Vernon, New York. All of its products are 
readily available from more than one supplier and the Company can generally 
fill an order within 24 hours of placement. The Company operates on a regular 
basis 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday and provides services on an 
emergency basis on Sundays. The Company utilizes its 800 telephone number for 
customer service calls. The Company's office receives calls from 8:00 A.M. to 
6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. on Saturdays while 
an answering service handles calls at all other hours. The Company's service 
technicians are available to handle calls on a 24-hour basis. 

   Generally, the cost of the Company's products and supplies is covered by 
third party payor arrangements such as Medicaid, Medicare or private 
insurance. Equipment such as hospital beds, wheelchairs and patient lifters 
covered by Medicare is generally paid for on a rental basis over a 15 month 
term. In many instances, such equipment is returned to the Company prior to 
the 15 month term, in which case the equipment is re-conditioned and 
available for a new rental term. Generally, the equipment can be 
reconditioned for use to be available for several rental terms for a period 
in excess of five years. The Company receives a semi-annual maintenance 
payment for any equipment that is used in excess of 15 months. Purchased 
equipment covered by Medicare is reimbursed at approved published prices. 
Equipment covered by Medicaid is generally sold pursuant to an approved price 
range or a cost plus fee basis. Insurance payors use customary and usual 
standards for their reimbursement terms which are generally comparable to 
Medicare terms. The Company usually receives payment within 75 to 90 days of 
invoicing. An inconsequential percentage of the Company's business is direct 
cash sales to customers. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996, the 
allocation of net revenues among the Company's third party payors was 
approximately 35.4% to Medicare, 36.4% to Medicaid and 28.2% to private 
insurers and direct cash sales. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence Upon Third 
Party Reimbursement." 

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES 

   The Company's strategic objective is to become the leading provider of 
home medical equipment, disposable medical supplies and services in the 
metropolitan New York/New Jersey/Connecticut region by focusing on the 
following objectives. 

   Integrated Care. The Company is committed to fulfilling the physician's 
and/or payor source's need for a complete plan of care for their patients at 
home by providing a full range of quality home medical equipment and related 
services. The Company plans to seek out and negotiate agreements to provide 
products and services in conjunction with providers of other home medical 
services such as nursing companies and intravenous care providers. These 
agreements will enable the Company to be considered a full service provider 
to health care workers and customers for their home health care needs and 
will also increase the number of the Company's referral sources. While the 
Company's core business is its home medical equipment, the Company's revenues 
are enhanced by its ability to provide other medical products (products for 
the treatment of incontinence, diabetes and wound care, as well as advanced 
support surfaces, etc.) to high acuity and multiple therapy patients. 

   Focus On Growth Markets. The Company is seeking to expand its core home 
medical equipment business by enlarging its geographic sales territory and 
increasing the number of referral sources with whom it has relationships. The 
Company is also exploring the possibility of offering new products in some of 
its existing high growth markets such as respiratory therapy, nutritional 
products, decubitus care (skin sores or lesions), advanced support surfaces, 
advanced seating and positioning products, power operated vehicles and 
incontinence treatment. The Company is also exploring the possibility of 
adding new product categories to its existing business. High growth markets 
being considered include orthotics, mastectomy supplies, specialized wound 
care products and products for the treatment of sleep disorders. 

   Increase Market Share. The metropolitan New York market is highly 
fragmented, comprised of a large range of small local operators. The Company 
estimates that there are 1,000 home medical equipment dealers in its market. 
The Company believes 85% of such dealers generate revenues of up to $2.0 
million, 13% generate revenues between $2.0 million and $5.0 million, and 2% 
generate revenues of in excess of $5.0 million. There are a few regional or 
national home medical equipment businesses. With the anticipated continued 
growth of the home health care market, the Company believes that there is an 
opportunity to expand its market share by providing the elements it believes 
are critical to the success of home medical equipment providers -- (i) 
providing high quality products, (ii) offering a high level of customer 
service evidenced by prompt responsiveness to, and good communications with, 
customers, and (iii) understanding and adapting to the needs of local 
markets.

   Improve Operating Efficiencies. Management is committed to reducing 
operating expenses through the use of improved systems and controls to 
streamline its operations in the areas of billing and collections, 
administrative support and sales administration. The Company has implemented 
new systems for tracking sales, enabling management and sales personnel to 
monitor performance and target particular geographic or product areas for 
expansion. The Company recently redesigned and computerized its intake 
procedures to simplify phone ordering for both the order placer (usually a 
health care worker) and the end user (the patient). Simplifying the intake 
process has improved the Company's billing and collection procedures because 
of the improved accuracy and completeness of data collected. In addition, the 
Company is in the process of installing new computer systems that the Company 
believes will improve employee productivity and further reduce administrative 
overhead. 

   In addition to expanding its business by increasing sales, the Company 
may, if such opportunities arise, consider the expansion of its business by 
means of acquisitions or joint ventures. The Company's ability to effect such 
transactions could be adversely affected by its inability to issue shares of 
Common Stock without the Representative's prior written consent for a period 
of two years following the Effective Date. See "Underwriting." The Company is 
not currently conducting formal negotiations for any such acquisitions. 

   The Company's operating strategy to achieve the foregoing objectives 
include the following elements: 

   Targeting Referral Sources. The Company has been developing an effective 
sales force currently consisting of four field sales representatives, seven 
institutional on-site sales and service representatives, thirteen customer 
service representatives at the Company's offices who take orders and 
follow-up calls from customers and referral sources and six equipment 
drivers/technicians who generally work in the field to handle certain repairs 
and information inquiries. The field and customer service representatives 
enable the Company to market its home medical equipment and products to 
numerous sources of patient referrals, including physicians, therapists, 
nurses, discharge/case management professionals, social workers, hospitals, 
sub-acute facilities, clinics, nursing homes, HMOs, PPOs, insurance companies 
and social service organizations as well as directly to the end user. The 
Company is constantly training and tracking its sales representatives to 
generate more revenues from the Company's existing referral sources and to 
better target and penetrate new sources of patient referrals. 

   Commitment to Quality Service. The Company believes that the quality of 
its service is critical to its ability to obtain referrals and to expand its 
business. To assure delivery of high quality service, the Company has 
established policies and procedures prescribing standards for patient care 
and has retained the services of a full time consultant who regularly 
examines its operation/facility to assure compliance with those standards. 
The Company has been accredited with commendation by the Joint Commission on 
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO"). 

   Focus on Receivables Management. In selecting its equipment, products and 
services, the Company carefully considers the adequacy of reimbursement and 
the ease with which payment can be obtained. The Company's reimbursement 
staff has significant experience in the industry as its primary billers 
average 16.5 years experience in reimbursement. Their knowledge and 
familiarity with the various reimbursement forms, policies and 
categorizations expedites the Company's billing procedures and facilitates 
the reimbursement process. The Company's receivables management is also 
enhanced by its electronic billing of Medicare and Medicaid which reduces the 
amount of paperwork to be handled and the amount of time required to process 
reimbursement billing. 

   Management Information Systems. The Company has been implementing updated 
computerized systems, including order entry, distribution, third-party 
billing and customer information systems. These systems enable the Company to 
have relatively easy access to all the information processed by it including 
commencement of service, type of product utilized, the time period used and 
clinical outcome (for rental equipment users) and frequency and nature of 
service calls. These systems enable the Company to provide utilization 
reports and relevant data to its referral sources who can use such 
information to control the cost of managing home patient care. The Company 
intends to seek to develop applications to integrate its database with those 
of its referral sources and with other health care providers. This would 
allow the Company to provide integrated patient discharge planning and 
detailed utilization review data to its referral sources. 

MARKETING PROGRAMS 

   Diagnostic Centered Programs. The Company has developed a diagnostic 
centered approach to meeting the needs of its customers. The Company's 
personnel receives continuing education focused on the needs of 

                                       23
<PAGE>

customers classified by diagnosis or special needs. As a result, the 
Company's representatives can provide doctors, nurses, social workers, 
therapists, payor case managers, and customers with information regarding 
products for a patient's home care needs, both in terms of general care and 
product improvements. The Company believes that this enhances the quality of 
the service it can offer to referral sources as well as the products it 
supplies to the end users. 

   Institutional Support Program. The Company's current management team has 
developed a support program for the benefit of institutions such as hospitals 
and certified home health agencies whereby the Company provides certain of 
its personnel for on-site locations at these institutions. These on-site 
managers work with the institution's personnel in determining the need for 
medical equipment, products and services for patients about to be discharged. 
They also help determine patient payor sources, order patient home medical 
equipment and arrange for delivery of the equipment to the patient at home. 
The Company believes that this program facilitates cost effective treatments 
for the home patient, and enhances the Company's position as a source of home 
medical equipment and supplies. 

   Rehabilitation Division. The Company has established a separate division 
within its current facilities to provide specialized products for individuals 
with acute, long-term home health care needs. These products include 
specialized bathroom products, specialized vehicles and specialized support 
services, many of which have to be customized to meet individual needs. 
Although the Company has been providing such products for the past year, 
management has recently established a separate division to sell, market and 
customize these products. In addition to a separate sales staff, the Company 
is establishing a workroom to customize the rehabilitation products as 
needed. 

   Additional Home Care Services. The Company is exploring the potential for 
expanding its business to include additional home care services. Management 
expects that its knowledge of the needs of patients and providers in 
connection with durable medical goods can be applied to a broader range of 
home care medical services. The establishment of additional related home care 
services would enable the Company to offer providers a single source for 
coordinating all of their patients' at home health care needs. By working 
through a single source, the patient's needs can be monitored and coordinated 
to ensure that all necessary services and goods are provided on a timely, 
efficient basis. 

COMPETITION 

   The home health care provider industry is highly competitive and 
fragmented. While there are a few selected national providers, the Company 
currently encounters its most significant competition in providing home 
health care products from small commercial providers operating in the New 
York metropolitan area. The Company believes that health care facilities in 
the geographic area serviced by the Company consider quality of care, 
reliability and reputation to be the most important factors in referring a 
home health care provider to its patients, although other factors such as 
financial stability, personnel policies and practices and cost are also 
considered. In addition to present competition, other companies that do not 
currently provide home health care products may enter the business. 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND REIMBURSEMENT 

   The Company must comply with various requirements in connection with its 
participation in Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid is a combined federal-state 
program for medical assistance to impoverished individuals who are aged, 
blind, or disabled or members of families with dependent children. The 
Medicaid program in New York is subject to federal requirements. The New York 
State Department of Social Services has the authority to set levels of 
reimbursement within federal guidelines. The Company receives, from its 
customers who are covered by Medicaid, only the reimbursement permitted by 
Medicaid and is not permitted to collect from the patient any difference 
between its customary charge to such customers and the amount reimbursed. Any 
difference between the Company's customary charge to its customers who are 
covered by Medicaid and amounts reimbursed by Medicaid are not material to 
the Company's operating results because the Company's customary charges to 
such customers generally do not exceed amounts reimbursable by Medicaid. 

                                       24
<PAGE>

   Medicare is a federal health insurance program, for the elderly and for 
chronically disabled individuals, which pays for equipment and services when 
medically necessary. Medicare uses a charge-based reimbursement system for 
purchased medical equipment based on approved published prices. Equipment 
such as hospital beds, wheelchairs and patient lifters is generally paid for 
on a rental basis over a 15 month term, with maintenance payments 
semi-annually thereafter. 

   The Company, like other Medicaid and Medicare providers, is subject to 
governmental audits of its Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement claims, but to 
date has not experienced significant losses as a result of any such audit. 
The Company is not subject to any pending audits or audit reports. As a 
provider of services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, the Company is 
also subject to the Medicaid and Medicare fraud and abuse laws ("Fraud and 
Abuse Laws"). The laws prohibit any bribe, kickback or rebate in return for 
the referral of Medicaid or Medicare patients. Violations of these 
prohibitions may result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from 
participation in the Medicaid and Medicare programs. The United States 
Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") has interpreted the Fraud and 
Abuse Laws as they apply to Medicare and Medicaid broadly to include the 
intentional payment of anything of value to influence the referral of 
Medicare or Medicaid recipients. HHS has issued regulations that set forth 
certain so-called "safe harbors," representing business relationships and 
payments that can be undertaken without violation of the Fraud and Abuse 
Laws. The Company believes that it has arranged and will continue to arrange 
its business relationships so as to comply with the Fraud and Abuse Laws. The 
Company has not been the subject of any Medicaid or Medicare fraud 
investigation to date. 

   Pursuant to the federal/state statutory scheme for the regulation and 
administration of the Medicaid program, each state has a Medicaid Fraud 
Control Unit. In New York State that Unit is placed within the Office of the 
Attorney General. This office has broad civil and criminal jurisdiction over 
Medicaid providers. In the course of its operations, it reviews Medicaid 
providers. The Company is currently the subject of such a review. Several 
other providers of medical equipment and supplies in the same general 
geographic area have recently been subject to similar reviews. The Company 
believes that it has complied with all appropriate regulations; and no claims 
or charges have been lodged by the Attorney General as a result of this 
review at this time. 

   The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material 
statutes, regulations, standards and conditions applicable to its business. 
However, new laws and/or regulations, standards or conditions may be adopted 
or existing laws, regulations, standards or conditions may be interpreted by 
governmental authorities in a manner which could adversely impact the 
Company's operations. The Company cannot predict whether any such proposals 
or interpretations will be adopted and, if adopted, what effect such 
proposals or interpretations would have on the Company's business. 

   The Company's participation in the New York Medicaid program requires it 
to enroll and re-enroll as an authorized provider with the New York State 
Department of Social Services. Re-enrollment is required upon certain events 
including a change of five (5%) percent or more of beneficial equity 
ownership in the Company. An adverse determination, which is not subject to 
prior judicial review, could have material adverse consequences to the 
Company. The Company has recently received approval of its re-enrollment 
application. 

   Government funding for health care programs is subject to statutory and 
regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy, 
determinations by intermediaries and governmental funding restrictions, all 
of which could materially increase or decrease program reimbursements for the 
Company's products and services. Efforts have been made at various levels to 
reduce the costs of such programs. No assurance can be given that future 
funding levels for Medicare and Medicaid programs will be comparable to 
present levels. Changes in reimbursement policies as a result of budget cuts 
or other government action could adversely affect the Company's operations. 

   The Clinton Administration, as well as certain United States Congressmen, 
have each proposed legislation that would affect major reforms of the United 
States health care system, including increasing access to health care for all 
citizens. Although such legislation has not been enacted, health care reform 
proposals are still under consideration and, New York State is considering 
various health care reform proposals of its own. The Company anticipates that 
Congress and state legislatures will continue to review and assess 
alternative health care delivery systems and cost-control measures, and 
public debate of these issues will likely continue in the future. Given the 
complexity of these issues and the early stage of the legislative process, 
the Company cannot predict which, if any, reform measures will be adopted 
and, if adopted, the effect such measures will have on the Company's 
business. 

                                       25

INSURANCE 

   The Company carries a broad range of general liability, comprehensive 
property damage, worker's compensation, and other insurance coverages that 
management considers adequate for the protection of its assets and 
operations, although there can be no assurance that the coverage limits of 
such policies will be adequate. The Company has general liability coverage of 
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate and umbrella coverage of 
$1,000,000. A successful claim against the Company in excess of its insurance 
coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its 
financial condition. Claims against the Company, regardless of their merit or 
outcome, may also have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation and 
business. See "Risk Factors -- Potential Liability; Adequacy of Insurance 
Coverage." 

EMPLOYEES 

   As of September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 67 employees. Its 
management team is comprised of two executives and two managers with 
extensive experience in the home health care industry. Four field sales 
representatives and seven institutional on-site sales and service 
representatives work on a salary plus commission basis. Six drivers deliver 
products and are specially trained by the Company to properly set up 
equipment and explain its use to patients. The Company has nine warehouse 
workers, two wheelchair mechanics, thirteen customer service and sales intake 
personnel, sixteen individuals who handle reimbursement and a five person 
administrative staff. The Company also has one supervisory staff respiratory 
therapist and a pool of respiratory therapists who work on a consulting basis 
on an as needed basis to provide service and advice to customers utilizing 
respiratory equipment. The Company also has six contract drivers who make 
deliveries. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining 
agreements and considers its relations with employees to be good. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

   In 1993, the Company commenced an action against Adam and its principals 
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester. The 
action arises out of the acquisition of the business and assets of Adam by 
the Company in April 1993. The complaint alleges that the defendants made 
numerous misrepresentations relating to the business previously conducted by 
Adam. The complaint seeks recovery of damages of $1,500,000, additional 
punitive damages, the reduction of the original purchase price or rescission 
of the original purchase agreement. The defendants have asserted 
counterclaims against the Company. The counterclaims seek the payment of the 
unpaid purchase price of $1,050,000 and collection expense of over $175,000. 
Defendants also allege various additional causes of action, claiming 
plaintiffs converted or interfered with the collection of property owned or 
due to defendants and seek damages of over $7,000,000, including $5,000,000 
in punitive damages. A motion for summary judgment filed by defendants has 
been denied in its entirety. Partial summary judgment has been granted to the 
Company dismissing three of the counterclaims asserted against it. A Notice 
of Appeal from these judgments has been filed by defendants. The Company 
believes it has meritorious defenses to the remaining counterclaims. However, 
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in recovering 
damages for its claims or in defending itself against the remaining 
counterclaims. A judgment against the Company as a result of the 
counterclaims could have a material adverse effect on its business. See "Risk 
Factors -- Pending Litigation; Potential Adverse Impact of Counterclaims 
against the Company." 

   From time to time the Company is a party to litigation arising in the 
ordinary course of business. There can be no assurance that the Company's 
insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all liabilities occurring out of 
such claims. 

FACILITIES 

   The Company offices and warehouse are located in a 20,000 square foot 
facility in Mount Vernon, N.Y., pursuant to a five year lease commencing 
January 1, 1996 which provides for annual rental payments of $114,000 for the 
first three years of the lease term and $132,000 for the last two years of 
the lease term.

STOCK OPTION PLAN 

   The Company's Board of Directors has adopted a 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 
"Plan") for officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or 
any of its subsidiaries. The Plan authorizes the grant- 

                                      28
<PAGE>


ing of stock options to purchase an aggregate of not more than 603,000 shares 
of the Company's Common Stock. As of the date hereof, options to purchase an 
aggregate of 28,000 shares of Common Stock have been granted and options to 
purchase an aggregate of 575,000 shares of Common Stock are available for 
grant under the Plan. 

   The Plan is administered by a Stock Option Committee (the "Committee"), 
consisting of two disinterested members of the Board of Directors. In 
general, the Committee will select the persons to whom options will be 
granted and will determine, subject to the terms of the Plan, the number, the 
exercise period and other provisions of such options. The options granted 
under the Plan will be exercisable in such installments as may be provided in 
the grant. 

   Options granted to employees may be either incentive stock options under 
the Internal Revenue Code ("ISOs") or non-ISOs. The Board may determine the 
exercise price, provided that, in the case of ISOs, such price may not be 
less than 100% (110% in the case of ISOs granted to holders of 10% of the 
voting power of the Company's stock) of the fair market value (as defined in 
the Plan) of the Company's Common Stock at the date of grant. The aggregate 
fair market value (determined at time of option grant) of stock with respect 
to which ISOs become exercisable for the first time in any year cannot exceed 
$100,000. The Company does not expect the exercise price of non-ISO's to be 
less than fair market value. 

   The options are evidenced by a written agreement containing the above 
terms and such other terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the 
Board of Directors may impose. Each option, unless sooner terminated, shall 
expire no later than 10 years (five years in the case of ISOs granted to 
holders of 10% of the voting power of the Company's stock) from the date of 
the grant, as the Board may determine. The Board has the right to amend, 
suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that unless 
ratified by the Company's shareholders within 12 months thereafter, no 
amendment or change in the Plan will be effective: (a) increasing the total 
number of shares which may be issued under the Plan; (b) reducing below fair 
market value on the date of grant the price per share at which any option 
which is an ISO may be granted; (c) extending the term of the Plan or the 
period during which any option which is an ISO may be granted or exercised; 
(d) altering in any way the class of persons eligible to participate in the 
Plan; (e) materially increasing the benefits accruing to participants under 
the Plan; or (f) with respect to options which are ISOs, amending the Plan in 
any respect which would cause such options to no longer qualify for incentive 
stock option treatment pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. 

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS 

   Following the consummation of this Offering, directors who are not 
employed by the Company will be paid a fee of $1,000 for each meeting 
attended and $500 for each committee meeting attended. All directors are 
reimbursed for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 

   All transactions with officers and shareholders and their affiliates were 
made on terms no less favorable to the Company than those available from 
unaffiliated parties. All future transactions between the Company and its 
officers, directors and 5% shareholders will be on terms no less favorable 
than could be obtained by independent third parties and will be approved by a 
majority of the independent disinterested directors of the Company. 

LOANS 

   The Company received loans from certain shareholders and former 
shareholders and their affiliates in the aggregate amount of $255,409. All 
the loans are currently non-interest bearing. The loans were made on March 
31, 1993 to help finance the Company's operations. One loan of $80,000 bore 
interest at a rate of 8-1/4% until September 30, 1994, at which time the 
accrued interest was added to the principal outstanding. The Company expects 
to repay these loans from the proceeds of this Offering as follows: $135,409 
to Dean L. Sloane (which includes accrued interest of $10,209 through 
September 30, 1994); $15,000 each to Manuel N. Wilson and Wade Wilson; and 
$90,000 to At Home Health Care Supplies, Inc. See "Use of Proceeds" and 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources." 

LEASE 

   The Company entered into a sublease on September 1, 1995 with At Home 
Health Care Supplies, Inc., an affiliate of former shareholders and directors 
of the Company for the office/warehouse space it currently occupies. The 
Company paid $4,500 per month for 10,000 square feet of space plus a pro rata 
share of expenses which aggregated $18,000 for the term of the lease. The 
Company has terminated the sublease and entered into a new lease with the 
owner of the premises to occupy 20,000 square feet at the same location. See 
"Business -- Facilities." 

CONSULTING AGREEMENT 

   During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Company paid $35,136 to 
Purchase Marketing Associates, a consulting company whose president, Manuel 
N. Wilson, was a former shareholder, director and promoter of the Company, 
pursuant to a consulting agreement between the Company and such entity. The 
agreement was amended on May 1, 1995 to provide for the same consulting 
services to be provided for a fixed fee of $4,500 per month. The agreement 
was terminated in November 1995 with payments made through January 31, 1996 
aggregating $45,000. 

AGREEMENTS WITH REPRESENTATIVE 

   The Company expects to enter into a Consulting Agreement with the 
Representative upon the closing of the Offering, whereby the Representative 
will provide advisory services for a period of 36 months for an aggregate fee 
of $104,600 payable at the closing out of the proceeds of the Offering. In 
addition, the Representative shall have the right, for a period of three 
years, after the closing of the Offering, to appoint a designee to serve as 
an advisor to the Board of Directors. The Company has further agreed to 
appoint the Representative as the Company's warrant solicitation agent 
pursuant to which the Representative will receive a 8% fee upon exercise of 
the Warrants, subject to NASD guidelines. 

EXCHANGE OF SHARES FOR WARRANTS 

   In August, 1996, the Company issued to six shareholders an aggregate of 
2,883,332 Class A Warrants in exchange for the cancellation of 1,441,666 
shares of Common Stock owned by such shareholders.

                          DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES 

   The following descriptions of the Company's securities are qualified in 
all respects by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of 
the Company, and the warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement"), dated as of 
October 18, 1996, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & 
Trust Company (the "Warrant Agent"), copies of which are filed as Exhibits to 
the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part. The 
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company authorizes the Company to issue 
up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the 
"Preferred Stock"), none of which is outstanding and 20,000,000 shares of 
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. 

COMMON STOCK 

   As of September 30, 1996, there were 4,730,000 shares of Common Stock 
outstanding. There will be 6,030,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding after 
giving effect to the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. The 
holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of 
record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Subject to 
preferential rights with respect to any outstanding Preferred Stock, holders 
of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be 
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. 
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, 
holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining 
after payment of liabilities and satisfaction of preferential rights and have 
no rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. All shares 
of Common Stock have equal, non-cumulative voting rights, and have no 
preference, exchange, preemptive or redemption rights. The outstanding shares 
of Common Stock are, and the Common Stock to be outstanding upon completion 
of the Offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable. See "Capitalization." 

WARRANTS 

   Each Class A Warrant entitles its holder, commencing two years from the 
Effective Date, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of 
$6.00 per share. The Warrants expire on October 17, 2003, seven years after 
the Effective Date. 

   The Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part may remain 
effective for a period of nine months following the Effective Date although 
the Warrants will not be exercisable until two years after the Effective 
Date. 

   The Warrants are redeemable by the Company at a price of $.05 per 
Redeemable Warrant, commencing two years from the Effective Date and prior to 
their expiration, on 30 days prior written notice to the registered holders 
of the Warrants, provided the closing high bid price per share of the Common 
Stock, or the last sale price per share if listed on a national exchange for 
a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than three days prior 
to the date of any redemption notice equals or exceeds at least $8.00, 
subject to adjustment, for the Class A Warrants. The Warrants shall be 
exercisable until the close of the business day preceding the date fixed for 
redemption. In addition, subject to the rules of the NASD, the Company has 
agreed to engage the Representative as warrant solicitation agent, in 
connection with which it would be entitled to a 8% fee upon exercise of the 
Warrants. See "Underwriting." 

   The Warrants will be issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement by the 
Warrant Agent and will be evidenced by warrant certificates in registered 
form. 

   The exercise price of the Warrants and the number and kind of shares of 
Common Stock or other securities and property issuable upon exercise of the 
Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including a 
stock split of, stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or 
recapitalization of the Common Stock. Additionally, an adjustment will be 
made upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company 
in order to enable holders of Warrants to purchase the kind and number of 
shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable 
in such event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might 
otherwise have been purchased upon exercise of the Warrant. 

                                       32
<PAGE>

   The Warrants do not confer upon the holder any voting or any other rights 
of a stockholder of the Company. Upon notice to the Warrantholders, the 
Company has the right to reduce the exercise price or extend the expiration 
date of the Warrants. 

   Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate 
evidencing those Warrants on or prior to the respective expiration date (or 
earlier redemption date) of the Warrants at the offices of Continental Stock 
Transfer & Trust Co., the warrant agent, with the form of "Election to 
Purchase" on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and 
executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price (by 
certified check payable to the order of the warrant agent) for the number of 
Warrants being exercised. 

   No Warrant will be exercisable or redeemable unless at the time of 
exercise the Company has filed with the Commission a current prospectus 
covering the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 
Warrant and the issuance of shares has been registered or qualified or is 
deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities 
laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrant. The Company has 
undertaken to use its best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating 
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants 
until the expiration of the Warrants, subject to the terms of the Warrant 
Agreement. While it is the Company's intention to maintain a current 
prospectus, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so. The Company 
anticipates that this Registration Statement will remain effective for nine 
months following the Effective Date. See "Risk Factors -- Current Prospectus 
and State Blue Sky Registration Required to Exercise Warrants." 

   The Company may reduce the exercise price or extend the exercise of the 
Warrants provided a current prospectus reflecting such changed terms is in 
effect prior to the exercise of any Warrants. The Company will insure that 
information regarding such impending change is disseminated to Warrantholders 
and the public in an adequate and timely manner. In the event that such 
action is taken, the Company must file a new registration statement and have 
it declared effective prior to any exercise of any Warrants. 

   No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. 
However, if a Warrantholder exercises all Warrants then owned of record by 
him or her, the Company will pay to that Warrantholder, in lieu of the 
issuance of any fractional share which otherwise issuable, an amount in cash 
based on the market value of the Common Stock on the last trading day prior 
to the exercise date. 

   Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company will pay the Representative 
a commission of 8% of the aggregate exercise price if (i) the market price of 
the Company's shares of Common Stock on the date the Warrant is exercised is 
greater than the then exercise price of the Warrants; (ii) the exercise of 
the Warrant was solicited by the Representative; (iii) the Warrant is not 
held in a discretionary account; (iv) disclosure of compensation arrangements 
was made both at the time of the Offering and at the time of exercise of the 
Warrant; (v) the holder of the Warrant, has stated in writing that the 
exercise was solicited and designated in writing by the soliciting 
broker-dealer; and (vi) the solicitation of the exercise of the Warrant was 
not in violation of rule 10b-6, promulgated under the Exchange Act. No fee 
will be paid to the Representative on Warrants exercised within one year of 
the Effective Date or on Warrants voluntarily exercised at any time without 
solicitation by the Representative. 

   In connection with the solicitation of Warrant exercises, unless granted 
an exemption by the Commission from Rule 10b-6, the Representative and any 
other soliciting broker-dealer will be prohibited from engaging in any 
market-making activities with respect to the Company's securities for the 
period commencing either two or nine business days (depending on the market 
price of the Company's shares of Common Stock, prior to any solicitation 
activity of the exercise of Warrants until the later of (i) the termination 
of such solicitation activity or (ii) the termination (by waiver or 
otherwise) of any right which the Representative or any other soliciting 
broker-dealer may have to receive a fee for the exercise of Warrants 
following such solicitation. As a result, the Representative or other 
soliciting broker-dealer may be unable to provide a market for the Company's 
securities, should it desire to do so, during certain periods which the 
Warrants are exercisable. 

PREFERRED STOCK 

   The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 
1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences 
determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. 

                                       33
<PAGE>

   Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors is empowered, without 
shareholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, 
conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting 
power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of 
issuance, the Preferred Stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as 
a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the 
Company. Although the Company has no present intention to issue any shares of 
its Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that it will not do so in the 
future. 

UNDERWRITERS' WARRANT 

   In connection with this Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the 
Underwriters, or its designees, for $10, the Underwriters' Warrant to 
purchase 130,000 shares of Common Stock and /or 130,000 Class A Warrants. The 
Underwriters' Warrant is exercisable for a four-year period commencing one 
year from the Effective Date of this Offering and entitles the Underwriters 
to purchase each share of Common Stock or Warrant covered thereby at an 
exercise price equal to 165% of the offering price per share of Common Stock 
or Warrant, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Underwriters' 
Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated except to 
officers of the underwriters or members of the selling group or any officer 
or partner of any member of the selling group. The prices payable for the 
securities upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant and the number of 
securities underlying the Underwriters' Warrant are subject to adjustment to 
prevent dilution. See "Underwriting." 

OPTIONS 

   As of the date of this Prospectus, no options have been granted. See 
"Management -- Stock Option Plan." 

TRANSFER AND WARRANT AGENT 

   The transfer and warrant agent for the Common Stock is Continental Stock 
Transfer & Trust Company. 

                       SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE 

   Prior to this Offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock. 
Future sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market 
could adversely affect prevailing market prices. 

   Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have approximately 
6,030,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding (assuming no exercise of the 
Underwriters' over-allotment option). Of these shares, the 1,300,000 shares 
sold in this Offering will be freely tradeable without restriction (except as 
to affiliates of the Company) or further registration under the Act. 

   Each of the Company's current shareholders has entered into an agreement 
(the "Lock-Up Agreement") not to offer, sell, contract to sell or grant any 
option to purchase or otherwise dispose of the remaining 4,730,000 shares of 
Common Stock, without the prior written consent of the Representative, (i) 
with respect to the 4,510,000 shares owned by the Company's officers and 
three of its directors, for a period of 24 months after the Effective Date, 
and (ii) with respect to the remaining 220,000 shares owned by Selling 
Securityholders, for a period of 18 months after the Effective Date. Each of 
the Company's warrantholders has entered into a Lock-Up Agreement for a 
period of 24 months after the Effective Date. Following expiration or release 
from the Lock-Up Agreement, (i) 4,510,000 shares will be eligible for 
immediate sale, subject to compliance with Rule 144 volume limitations and 
(ii) 220,000 shares, and 4,158,332 Class A Warrants and the shares underlying 
such warrants, all of which are being registered for sale pursuant to the 
Selling Securityholders' Prospectus, will be eligible for immediate sale. The 
Representative will not release the lock-up prior to the exercise or 
expiration of the Over-Allotment Option. 

   In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are 
aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the 
meaning of Rule 144 ("Restricted Shares") for at least two years, including 
the holding period of any securities which converted into the Restricted 
Shares and including the holding period of any prior owner except an 
affiliate of the Company, would be entitled to sell within any three-month 
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of 
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading 
volume of the Common Stock reported during the four calendar weeks pre-

                                       34
<PAGE>

ceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of 
sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public 
information about the Company. Any person (or persons whose shares are 
aggregated with such person) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of 
the Company at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has 
beneficially owned shares for at least three years (including any period of 
ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders), would be entitled to sell 
such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations, 
manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or notice 
requirements. 

   Up to 130,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 130,000 Warrants may be 
purchased by the Underwriters through the exercise of the Underwriters' 
Warrant. Such shares may be freely tradeable, provided that the Company 
satisfies certain securities registration and qualification requirements in 
accordance with the terms of the Underwriters' Warrant. See "Underwriting." 

                                 UNDERWRITING 

   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement 
(the "Underwriting Agreement") between the Company and the Underwriters, the 
Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters, 
severally and not jointly, have agreed to purchase, on a "firm commitment" 
basis, all of the 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock and the 1,300,000 Warrants 
offered hereby as follows: 

                 Name                     Shares and Warrants

                                               =========

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriter 
are subject to certain conditions precedent including the current 
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, delivery of an opinion of 
Company's counsel, a "comfort letter" from the Company's accountants, the 
delivery of an officer's certificate certifying that all representations and 
warranties are true and correct, the appointment of the Transfer and Warrant 
Agent and NASD approval of the Underwriters' compensation. The Underwriting 
Agreement also provides that the Underwriters will be obligated to purchase 
all of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants if any are purchased. 

   The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the 
shares of Common Stock and Warrants to the public at the offering prices set 
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and that the Underwriters may 
allow to certain dealers, who are members of the National Association of 
Securities Dealers, concessions not in excess of $.2295 per share of Common 
Stock and $.0045 per Class A Warrant. After the Offering, the public offering 
price and concessions and discounts and other offering terms may be changed. 

   The Company has granted an option to the Underwriters exercisable during 
the 30-day period from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to a 
maximum of 195,000 additional shares of Common Stock and/or 195,000 
additional Class A Warrants solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in the 
sale of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants, at the Offering price, less 
the underwriting discounts and commission set forth on the cover page of this 
Prospectus. 

   The Company has agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense 
allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including the 
proceeds of the Over-Allotment Option, if and to the extent exercised, of 
which $30,000 has been paid to date. The Underwriting Agreement provides for 
reciprocal indemnification between the Company and the Underwriter against 
certain liabilities in connection with this Offering, including liabilities 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). 

   As additional compensation in connection with this Offering the Company 
has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, for nominal consideration, the 
Underwriters' Warrants to purchase 130,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 
Warrants. The Underwriters' Warrant is exercisable for a four-year period 
commencing one year from the Effective Date and entitles the Underwriters to 
purchase each share of Common Stock and Warrant covered thereby at an 
exercise price equal to 165% of the initial public Offering price per share 
of Common Stock and Warrant, subject to adjustment in certain events. The 
Underwriters' Warrant may not be sold, trans-


                                       35

ferred, assigned or hypothecated except to officers of the underwriters or 
members of the selling group or any officer or partner of any member of the 
selling group. The prices payable for the securities upon exercise of the 
Underwriters' Warrant and the number of securities underlying the 
Underwriters' Warrant are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. 

   For the term of the Underwriters' Warrant, the holder or holders thereof 
are given, at a nominal cost, the opportunity to profit from a rise in the 
market price of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Underwriter's 
Warrant with a resulting dilution in the interests of other shareholders. The 
Company may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital if it 
should be needed for its business while the Underwriters' Warrant is 
outstanding; and at any time when the holders of the Underwriters' Warrant 
might be expected to exercise such Warrant, the Company would in all 
likelihood be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more 
favorable than those provided in the Underwriters' Warrant. Any profit 
realized on the sale of the Underwriters' Warrant and shares of Common Stock 
and Warrants subject to the Underwriters' Warrant may be deemed additional 
underwriting compensation. 

   All of the Company's officers, three of its directors and all 
warrantholders have agreed not to publicly sell, prior to 24 months from the 
date hereof, any securities of the Company owned by them, without the prior 
written approval of the Underwriter. The remaining Company shareholders have 
agreed not to publicly sell prior to 18 months from the date hereof any 
securities of the Company owned by them, without the prior written approval 
of the Representative. 

   The Underwriting Agreement gives the Representative the right to appoint a 
designee to attend all meetings of the Company's Board of Directors for a 
period of three years following the closing of this Offering. 

   The Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Company may not issue 
shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to its 1996 Stock Option Plan) 
for a period of two years following the Effective Date without the 
Representative's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably 
withheld. 

   The Company has agreed to retain the Representative as a financial 
consultant, for a period of three years from the date of this Prospectus at 
an annual fee of $34,867, all of which fees (an aggregate of $104,600) will 
be payable in advance on the completion of this Offering. The Underwriters 
will seek out and review potential acquisition and joint venture targets for 
the Company, as well as assisting the Company in responding to any 
acquisitions for the Company. 

   The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against liabilities 
incurred by the Underwriters by reason of misstatements or omissions to state 
material facts in connection with the statements made in this Prospectus and 
the Registration Statement of which it forms a part. The Underwriters, in 
turn, have agreed to indemnify the Company against liabilities incurred by 
the Company by reason of misstatements or omissions to state material facts 
in connection with statements made in the Registration Statement and 
Prospectus based on information furnished by the Underwriters. 

   The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and 
conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. Reference is made to a copy of the 
Underwriting Agreement, which is an exhibit to the Registration Statement of 
which this Prospectus forms a part. 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE 

   There is currently no public market for the Company's securities. 
Consequently, the Offering price has been determined by negotiations between 
the Company and the Underwriters and does not necessarily bear any 
relationship to any recognized criteria of value. In their negotiations of 
the Offering price, the Company and the Underwriters took into account 
estimates of the business potential and earning prospects of the Company, the 
present state of the Company's development and prevailing market conditions. 
In this regard, greater significance was given to the business potential and 
earnings prospects of the Company than was given to historical financial 
information. The Offering price set forth on the cover page of this 
Prospectus should not, however, be considered an indication of the actual 
value of the securities of the Company. Such market price is subject to 
change as a result of market conditions and other factors.

   There can be no assurance that an established trading market will develop 
for the Common Stock, or, if such market develops and continues, that the 
prevailing market price for such securities will bear a favorable 
relationship to the Offering price of the Common Stock. See "Risk Factors -- 
Lack of Market; Possible Volatility of Stock Price; Arbitrary Determination 
of Offering Price."

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Community Care Services, Inc. 

   We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Community Care Services, 
Inc. as at March 31, 1996 and the related statements of operations, changes 
in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 
March 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company's 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, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of Community Care Services, 
Inc. at March 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for the years ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

              (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
                       JUNE 30, 1996 AND JUNE 30, 1995) 

(NOTE A) -- ORGANIZATION: 

   [1] The Company was incorporated in July 1992 in the State of New York as 
Community Support Services, Inc. During July 1992, it changed its name to 
Community Care Services, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company operates a home 
health care business which sells and rents durable medical equipment and 
sells medical supplies primarily in the five boroughs of New York City, and 
Westchester, Rockland and Nassau Counties, New York, as well as northern New 
Jersey and southern Connecticut. 

   From inception through March 31, 1993, the Company had minimal activity. 
In April 1993, the Company purchased certain assets and business of Adam 
Health Care Equipment Corp. ("Adam"), a company in the same industry, for 
$1,500,000 (the "Purchase Price"). In addition, the Company paid Adam an 
additional $86,000 representing an adjustment to the Purchase Price mainly 
for used equipment and parts. The Company paid $150,000 at the execution of 
this agreement and $300,000 at the closing. $1,000,000 of the balance was to 
be paid in equal quarterly installments evidenced by promissory notes with 
interest at 6% per annum and a final payment due March 15, 1995. The 
remaining $50,000 would be paid following the completion of a full Medicare 
billing cycle. 

   In 1993, the Company commenced an action against Adam and its principals 
arising out of the acquisition of certain assets of Adam by the Company in 
April 1993. The complaint alleges that the defendants made numerous 
misrepresentations relating to the business previously conducted by Adam. The 
complaint seeks recovery of damages of $1,500,000, additional punitive 
damages, the reduction of the original purchase price or rescission of the 
original purchase agreement. The defendants have asserted counterclaims 
against the Company. The counterclaims seek the payment of the unpaid 
purchase price of $1,050,000 and collection expense of over $175,000. 
Defendants also allege various additional causes of action, claiming 
plaintiffs converted or interfered with the collection of property owned or 
due to defendants and seek damages of over $7,000,000, including $5,000,000 
in punitive damages. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the 
counterclaims. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be 
successful in recovering damages for its claims or in defending itself 
against the counterclaims. A judgment against the Company as a result of the 
counterclaims could have a material adverse effect on its business. The 
action is still in its final pre-trial stages and the Company expects a trial 
date to be set shortly. 

   [2] The Company is in the process of raising additional funds through an 
initial public offering of securities (the "IPO"). If the IPO is not 
consummated, the Company intends to obtain additional bank financing. 
However, there can be no guarantee that such financing will be available and 
if available that these funds can be obtained on favorable terms. 

(NOTE B) -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

   Significant accounting policies in the preparation of the financial 
statements are as follows: 

   [1] Revenue recognition: 

   Revenues are recognized on the date services and related products are 
provided to patients and are recorded at amounts estimated to be received 
under reimbursement arrangements with third party payors, including private 
insurers, Medicare and Medicaid. 

   [2] Inventories: 

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or 
market and consist primarily of medical supplies sold directly to patients 
for use in their home. 

   [3] Rental equipment: 

                                       F-7

                        COMMUNITY CARE SERVICES, INC. 

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

              (Unaudited with respect to the three months ended 
               June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995)  - (Continued) 

(NOTE B) -- Significant Accounting Policies:  - (Continued) 

   Rental equipment consists of medical equipment rented to patients for use 
in their homes and is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the 
straight-line method over the useful life of the equipment which is estimated 
at five years. 

   [4] Property and equipment: 

   Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company computed 
depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the useful 
lives of the assets acquired which is estimated at five years. 

   [5] Intangible assets: 

   Intangible assets consist of covenants not to compete and accounts and 
customer lists. The covenants are being amortized on a straight-line basis 
over their contractual lives which range from two to four years. The accounts 
and customer lists are being amortized using the straight-line method over 
the period of expected benefit which is estimated at ten years. Intangible 
assets are evaluated periodically, and adjusted if necessary, if events and 
circumstances indicate that a permanent decline in value below the carrying 
amount has occurred. 

   [6] Income taxes: 

   Effective August 10, 1992, the Company elected to be taxed as an S 
corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and state tax 
laws. Under those provisions the Company did not pay federal corporate income 
tax. However, it was subject to a limited extent, to New York State corporate 
tax. The stockholders were liable for individual income taxes on the 
Company's taxable income until November 1995 when the S corporation status 
was automatically terminated by the sale of common stock to an ineligible 
stockholder. No pro forma tax provision benefit has been presented to reflect 
the Company's taxes as if it were a C corporation. The Company would have 
reported net operating losses if it were a C corporation for the year ended 
March 31, 1995 resulting in a deferred tax asset which would be netted 
against a valuation allowance thereby providing a zero tax provision. For the 
period after the termination of the S corporation tax status through June 30, 
1996, a deferred tax liability has been realized because the losses incurred 
as an S corporation are not available to the Company for carryforward. See 
Note L in reference to tax provision. 

   [7] Estimates: 

   The 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 at the 
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates. 

   [8] Per share data: 

   Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding after giving retroactive effect to the conversion 
of common shares for warrants and the 2.2 for 1 stock split, both effected in 
August 1996. See Note H[2]. 

   [9] Recently issued accounting pronouncements: 

   The Company believes that 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" issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board

   The Company derives the majority of its revenues from reimbursements by 
third-party payors, typically invoicing and collecting payments directly from 
the third-party payor. 

   During the years ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 and for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, the Company's five largest 
sources of referral accounted for approximately 52%, 37%, 71% and 40% of the 
Company's total revenue, respectively. 

   Reimbursements can be influenced by the financial instability of private 
third-party payors and the budget pressures and cost shifting by governmental 
payors. A reduction in coverage or reimbursement rates by third- party payors 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. 

   The Company, like other Medicaid and Medicare providers, is subject to 
governmental audits of its Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement claims. As a 
provider of services, under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, the Company 
is also subject to the Medicaid and Medicare fraud and abuse laws.
