                        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                              (Unaudited)
1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to 
Form 1O-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally 
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting  of normal
recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1998.  For further
information, refer to the company's consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the year ended June 30, 1997.

2.  Earnings Per Share

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
Earnings per Share.  Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary 
and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings
per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share
excludes any dilutive effects of  options, warrants and convertible
securities.  Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share.  All 
earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented in
accordance with Statement 128 requirements.

3.  Acquisitions

The following unaudited pro forma information for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1997 is presented as if the fiscal 1997 acquisitions of 
Messick Homecare and Healthfirst, described in Note 2 to the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997, 
had been effected as of July 1, 1996.  The pro forma information is
in thousands, (except per share amounts):

                                                        Nine months ended
                                                          March 31, 1997

Net revenues                                                 $157,230

Net income (loss) per common share                              (0.36)

4.  Commitments and Contingencies

At July 1, 1997 the Company maintained general and professional liability 
insurance with independent insurance carriers primarily on an occurrence 
basis.  Beginning August 1, 1997, the Company purchased professional liability 
insurance with terms which are similar.  Prior to August 1, 1996, the Company
maintained general and professional liability insurance primarily on a 
claims made basis.   Claims based on occurrences during the term of the
policy, but asserted subsequently, would be insured.

Additionally, the Company's risk management system has procedures for
identifying and reporting claims on a timely basis.  Based on the claims
history to date and the risk management system, management believes
any incurred but not reported claims at March 31, 1998, would not be
material to the Company's financial position or its results of operations.


On August 30, 1996, two lawsuits were filed by certain persons who seek to 
represent a class of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company's
common  stock in the April 1996 public offering or in the subsequent after 
market.  In September and November 1996 two additional lawsuits were filed
with similar representations.  The individual plaintiffs in all four cases
allege that they were induced to purchase the Company's stock on the basis
of misrepresentations about the Company and its prospects.  The complaints 
assert  claims under  Section 11, 12(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.
The complaints name as the defendants the Company, its Directors and
certain of its then existing officers, and the lead underwriters associated 
with the public offering.  By an order dated December 5, 1996, The 
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia 
consolidated all four actions.  In January 1997 a Consolidated
Amended Complaint was filed in the Northern District of Georgia.
On March 13, 1997, the Company moved to dismiss the Consolidated
Amended Complaint.  On March 30,1998, the Court granted the
Company's Joint Motion to Dismiss allowing Plaintiffs leave to 
reopen this case by filing an amended complaint within 
Thirty (30) days.  On April 29,1998, the Plaintiffs filed the Second 
Amended  Class Action Complaint with the Court.  The Company 
intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary 
course of its business.  In management's opinion, after consultation with 
legal counsel, settlement of these actions, will not have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity
or results of operations.

5.  Intangible Assets
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
 ("Statement No. 121"), the Company records impairment losses on 
long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances 
indicate that such assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash 
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' 
net book values.  Due to the upcoming changes in the Medicare 
reimbursement program for providers of home health services and the 
Company's recording of significant recurring losses, the Company is 
continuing the study  to determine the impact as it relates to the carrying
value of its long-lived assets.  Management expects to complete 
this study during the next several months.  It is reasonably possible
that the study may conclude that it is necessary to write down certain
assets to their fair market value.


ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the following discussions, most percentages and dollar 
amounts have been rounded to aid presentation; as a result
all such figures are approximations.    References to such 
approximations have generally been omitted.

In addition to the historical information contained in this Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, 
certain matters set forth below may contain forward-looking statements.  
Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties 
that could cause results to differ materially from any such statements,
including the risk and uncertainties discussed in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 under the caption 
"Certain Factors Affecting Forward-Looking Statements" Item 1, Business, 
which discussion is incorporated herein by this reference.

Results of Operations

Housecall's results of operations during the three and nine month periods
ended March 31, 1998 reflect the performance of the Messick Homecare and
Healthfirst acquisitions (collectively referred to as the "Fiscal 1997 
Acquisitions") for the entire period, but Housecall's results of operations 
during the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997 reflect the 
performance of Messick Homecare (which was acquired in November 1996) since
acquisition, and does not reflect the performance of Healthfirst 
(which was acquired in May 1997).

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected financial
information as a percentage of net revenue:

Net Revenue.  Net revenue decreased 9.5% in the third quarter of fiscal
1998 to $42.0 million compared to $46.5 million for the third quarter of 
fiscal 1997.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1998, net revenue of 
$135.2 million was 5.5% lower than the same period in fiscal 1997.  
The decrease in net revenue for the third quarter and the first nine 
months of fiscal 1998 is primarily attributable to a decline in Medicare
 nursing visits and Medicare cost-based reimbursement 
resulting from venipuncture being disallowed as a reimbursable procedure and 
the Company's continuing efforts to reduce costs.  The majority of the decrease
in nursing net revenue was offset by increases in respiratory therapy/home 
medical equipment (RT/HME) and management services for the third quarter and 
the first nine months of fiscal 1998.  Infusion therapy revenue for the first 
nine months of fiscal 1998 was 4.1% below the first nine months of fiscal 1997;
however, for the third quarter of fiscal 1998, infusion therapy revenue 
increased 4.5% over the same period in the prior year.


Patient Care Costs.  Patient care costs decreased 16.0% in the third quarter
of fiscal 1998 to $17.8 million compared to $21.2 million for the 
third quarter of fiscal 1997.  Patient care costs also decreased 15.6% in
the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $54.3 million from $64.3 million 
for the same period of fiscal 1997.  In each case, the decrease is primarily
attributable to the same factors mentioned  above with respect to the 
decrease in net revenue during the period, and the decrease in Medicare
nursing visits.  As a percentage of net revenue, the decrease in patient
care cost reflects the change in the Company's business mix.  
RT/HME has a significantly lower patient care cost percentage of
net revenue than nursing services, and the management services 
segment  (which experienced increased volume primarily as a result
of the May 1997 acquisition of Healthfirst)  does not generate any 
patient care cost.


General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative 
expenses decreased 15.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 to 
$22.3 million compared to $26.5 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1998, general and
 administrative expenses decreased slightly to $74.6 million from
 $74.9 million for the comparable period of fiscal 1997, or .4%. 
Part of the decrease for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the 
first nine months of fiscal 1998 is attributable to staff reductions and
cost cutting that was implemented during the first two quarters of fiscal
year 1998.  Most of that decrease, however, is offset by the fact that all 
management services expenses are classified as general and 
administrative and the segment increased as a percentage of net 
revenues from 3.9% to 10.3% for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to the period ended March 31, 1997,
reflecting the acquisition of Healthfirst.


Provision for Doubtful Accounts.  The provision for doubtful accounts for the 
third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was 2.6% and 2.4% of
revenues, respectively.  The provision was substantially higher in the
fiscal 1997 third quarter as a result of the Company's change in business
mix whereby cost-based nursing revenue decreased while RT/HME and 
management services revenue (which incur a higher incident of bad debt)
increased.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, the provision for doubtful accounts was comparable.


Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased to $3.4 million and $1.1 million for the nine months and the third 
quarter of fiscal 1998, respectively, from $2.5 million and $.9 million in the 
nine months and the third quarter of fiscal 1997, respectively, primarily due 
to the Fiscal 1997 Acquisitions.


Interest Expense, Net.  Interest expense increased in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1998 to $1.5 million compared to $.6 million in the third quarter 
of fiscal 1997.  Interest expense increased in the first nine months of 
fiscal 1998 to $4.3 million compared to $1.7 million for the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997.  The increases are primarily due to additional 
borrowings  incurred in connection with the Fiscal 1997 Acquisitions.


Impact of Year 2000

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's 
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date 
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in 
a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, 
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, 
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.


Based on a recent assessment, the Company determined that it will be required to
modify or replace significant portions of its software so that its computer 
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and 
thereafter.  The Company presently believes that with modifications to existing 
software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose 
significant operational problems for its computer systems.  However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, 
the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the 
operations of the Company.


The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram,
or replace, and test the software for Year 2000 modifications.  The Company
anticipates completing the Year 2000 project within 12 to 15 months but not
later than June 30, 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its 
operating systems.  The total cost of the Year 2000 project has not been
determined and is anticipated to be funded through operating cash flows.  
Except for purchases of new software, these costs will be expensed as incurred.
There is no assurance that these costs will not have a material effect on 
the results of operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that cash flow generated from operations, and available
credit lines, will be adequate to enable the Company to fund its operations
for at least the next year.  In the event operations do not provide 
sufficient cash flow to fund operations, management intends to obtain 
financing from alternate sources.  Management also recognizes that scheduled
debt service payments over the next twelve months will not be achieved in
the absence of additional sources of cash.  Strategic alternatives are presently
being reviewed in order to remedy this situation, and accordingly, management
has not included its long-term borrowings in current liabilities.  
No assurance can be given that alternative sources of financing will be 
available or that management will be able to remedy the scheduled 
debt payment requirements.  In addition, delays in reimbursements to
the Company by third party payors (or the effect of a Medicare 
adjustment with respect to a prior period's reimbursement) may cause 
working capital constraints.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million and
working capital of $18.1 million.  At March 31, 1998, these amounts were
$.1 million and $13.3 million, respectively.  Cash used by operating 
activities was $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998.

The Company's investing activities provided $.1 million cash during the nine 
months ended March 31, 1998.  The investing activities primarily consisted of
the settlement with sellers of acquired companies for $2.7 million in cash,
and the Company used approximately $1.9 million for additions to property, 
plant and equipment.

Financing activities used $.6 million of cash during the nine months ended 
March 31 1998.  The most significant component of financing activities were
the payments of principal on capital leases.
