In June 1999, the Company employed a new Chief Financial Officer after that
position was vacant for five months.  Since that time, he has been required to
devote a substantial portion of his time to matters relating to obtaining
financing for and management of working capital needs, and becoming familiar
with the Company's operations and accounting records.  As a result, the
Company's Chief Financial Officer has been unable to complete the process of
obtaining and reviewing certain financial information and resolving accounting
and reporting matters in order to finalize the financial statements prior to
the current due date.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
     notification.

                  (Name)              (Area Code)(Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section
     13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
     Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
     during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter)
     period that the Registrant was required to file such
     reports) been filed?  If answer is no, identify report(s). [X]Yes   [ ]No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results
     of operations from the corresponding period for the last
     fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements
     to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?   [X]Yes   [ ]No

NARRATIVE AND QUALITATIVE EXPLANATION OF THE ANTICIPATED CHANGE:

The Company expects to report that it had revenues of approximately
$13,700,000 and a net loss in excess of $4,000,000 during the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1999, as compared to revenues of $18,700,000 and net income of
$615,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998.  Management attributes a
significant amount of the net loss to be reported to the following:

    * A substantial bad debt expense as a result of significant customers'
      inability to pay accounts receivable, including three customers that
      have filed for bankruptcy protection.

    * The transition to Medicare's Prospective Payment System ("PPS"),
      under which Medicare payments are now made under a fee schedule and
      subject to certain caps.  Prior to the implementation of PPS, Medicare
      reimbursement was made based primarily on the provider's cost of
      services rendered, with less extensive limitations.  This has resulted
      in lower revenues for individual therapy services provided by the
      Company.
