             Filing Party:                Community Care Services, Inc.
             Date Filed:                  June 17, 1999

         1. This amount is based on (i) 7,217,851 (the number of outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock as of June 15, 1999) minus (ii) 2,188,250
(the number of shares of the Company's common stock owned by Alan J. Landauer
("Landauer") and LTTR Home Care, LLC) multiplied by (iii) $1.20 (the cash
consideration per share of the Company's common stock to be paid by Mr.
Landauer) with the resulting sum multiplied by (iv) 1/50th of one percent, to
arrive at $1,207.10 as the amount of the filing fee, pursuant to Section
13(e)(3) of the Exchange Act. However, as permitted by Rule 0-11 (a)(2) under
the Exchange Act, the foregoing filing fee will be offset by the amount paid as
the filing fee in connection with the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule
14A, filed on June 17, 1999, and as a result no filing fee is due in connection
with this Schedule 13E-3.

         Community Care Services, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"),
Landauer, Landauer Hospital Supplies, Inc., a New York corporation ("LHS"), and
LTTR Home Care, LLC, a New York limited liability company ("LTTR"), hereby
submit their Rule 13e-3 Transaction

                                        2

Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3"). The Schedule 13E-3 relates
to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 14, 1999 (the "Merger
Agreement"), by and among the Company, LHS and LHS Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger
Sub"). The Merger Agreement provided for the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub
with and into the Company, with the Company surviving and becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of LHS. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
were approved by the Company's shareholders on December 9, 1999, and the Merger
was consummated on December 22, 1999. No stockholders of the Company asserted or
perfected dissenters' rights in connection with the Merger. Pursuant to the
Merger, each share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 (other than
shares held by LTTR's member and Merger Sub), was converted into the right to
receive $1.20 in cash. Immediately following the Merger, the Company merged into
Landauer-Metropolitan, Inc., a New York corporation ("LMI"), with LMI surviving.

         This Schedule 13E-3, as amended hereby, is intended to satisfy the
reporting requirements of Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the definitive proxy materials filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 1999.

ITEM 1.  ISSUER AND CLASS OF SECURITY SUBJECT TO THE TRANSACTION.

         (b) Pursuant to the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the
Company, with the Company surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of
LHS.

         (c) Immediately after the Merger, the Common Stock ceased to be traded
on the OTC Bulletin Board.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (c)      After the Merger, Landauer will serve as Chairman of LMI.

ITEM 5.  PLANS OR PROPOSALS OF THE ISSUER OR AFFILIATE.

         (a) Shareholders of the Company approved the Merger at a Special
Meeting of the Company's Shareholders held on December 9, 1999. The transactions
contemplated by the Merger were consummated on December 22, 1999. Immediately
following the Merger, the Company merged into LMI, with LMI surviving.

         (c) The board of directors of LMI is composed of Alan J. Landauer, Gail
Landauer, Thomas C. Blum, Gary Spirgel and Louis Rocco. After the Merger,
Landauer will serve as Chairman of LMI, and Louis Rocco will serve as President
of LMI.

         (f) After the Merger, the Common Stock became eligible for termination
of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act. A Form 15 with
respect to the Common Stock will be filed imminently.


                                        3

ITEM 6.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         (a) Financing for the Merger included (i) a revolving loan (the
"Revolving Loan") in a principal amount of up to $2.20 million from First Union
National Bank ("First Union") to LHS; (ii) a term loan (the "Term Loan,"
together with the Revolving Loan, the "Senior Debt") in the principal amount of
$7 million from First Union to LHS; (iii) a loan to LHS from The Donald J. Blum
Trust (the "Trust") in the principal amount of $800,000 (the "Trust Loan"); (iv)
a loan from Thomas C. Blum ("Blum") to LHS in the principal amount of $200,000
(the "TCB Loan"); and (v) a loan to LHS from Landauer in the principal amount of
$500,000 (the "Landauer Loan," together with the Trust Loan and the TCB Loan,
the "Subordinated Debt").

         (c) The Revolving Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the lower of
the (i) prime rate set by First Union and (ii) a LIBOR-based rate plus 2.50%.
The Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.20%. The
maturity date for the Revolving Loan is September 30, 2001, and the maturity
date for the Term Loan is December 22, 2005.

         The Revolving Loan and the Term Loan are secured by the properties,
assets and rights of LHS, its subsidiaries and affiliates in and to all
accounts, books and records, chattel paper, deposits, documents, equipment,
fixtures, general intangibles, goods, instruments, inventory, letters of credit
and investment property of LHS, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

         Each of the Trust Loan and the TCB Loan are unsecured, bears interest
at the "call money" rate charged by brokers for loans on stock collateral as
reported in The Wall Street Journal and matures on December 25, 2009. The
Landauer Loan is unsecured and bears interest at the lesser of
(i) 15% and (ii) the interest rate on the Term Loan.

         The Landauer Loan is subordinated to each of the TCB Loan and the Trust
Loan. Each of the Landauer Loan, the TCB Loan and the Trust Loan is subordinated
to the Senior Debt. The TCB Loan is pari passu with the Trust Loan.

         LHS may make interest payments on the Subordinated Debt provided that
an event of default under the Senior Debt has not occurred and is not
continuing. In addition, LHS may make payments of principal on the TCB Loan and
the Trust Loan (and after repayment in full of these loans, the Landauer Loan)
in the amount of $.33 for every $1.00 increase in the effective net worth of LHS
based on its audited consolidated financial statements at each fiscal year end.
