         During fiscal 1996, the number of members that comprised the entire

reduced to one. Accordingly, the entire Board of Directors is currently
comprised of four directors of which two are Class I directors; one is a Class

any compensation for serving on the Board of Directors of the Company.

         Mr. Street has been renominated to continue as a Class II director for
a term expiring at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under the terms of
his employment agreement, the Company is obligated to use its best efforts for

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         The Company is party to an amended and restated employment agreement
with Mr. Street that has an initial term through December 31, 1998. Mr. Street's
employment agreement provides for a salary at the rate of $150,000 per annum. In
addition, Mr. Street is provided with health insurance and other benefits and a
policy of life insurance. He also receives an auto allowance of $500 per month
and reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and in
connection with the performance of his duties. The agreement obligates the
Company to use its best efforts to cause Mr. Street to continue to be elected as
a Class II director, and as Chairman of its Board of Directors. The agreement
provides that the Company procure Directors and Officers Liability Insurance in
an amount not less than $1.0 million. Mr. Street's employment agreement provides
that in the event of a change of control of the Company as defined, Mr. Street
will be paid for the remainder of the unexpired term of his agreement plus two
times the sum of Mr. Street's then prevailing base salary.

         In September 1995, the Board of Directors granted and issued to its
President, Mr. Chriss W. Street, 100,000 restricted shares of its Common Stock,
$.01 par value (the "Restricted Shares"). Such grant of Restricted Shares was
ratified by the stockholders at the 1995 Annual Meeting. The Restricted Shares
are subject to vesting at the rate of 5,000 shares per year (the "Annual Vested
Shares") over a 20-year period commencing December 31, 1995 and continuing at
the rate of 5,000 Annual Vested Shares per year on December 31 of each
successive year for 19 years thereafter. The vesting of the Restricted Shares is
subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events of acceleration as
described below. With respect to all Restricted Shares which may become vested,
the Company is to pay to Mr. Street, a bonus equivalent to the amount of the
combined federal and applicable state and city income taxes associated with the
Restricted Shares that have become vested.

         While the Restricted Shares have been issued and Mr. Street is entitled
to vote said shares, all Restricted Shares are held in escrow until their
vesting and said shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred or hypothecated
until the time they have become vested.

         In addition to the vesting of the Annual Vested Shares, an additional
number of Restricted Shares vest as follows: (i) for each fiscal year of the
Company, 1,000 additional Restricted Shares vest for each $1,000,000 of net
pre-tax profit of the Company as reported for that year; (ii) in the event the
Company effects a merger, acquisition, corporate combination or purchase of
assets (an "Acquisition Event") 1,000 additional Restricted Shares vest for each
$1,000,000 of Acquisition Event value paid for the Company; and (iii) as of
December 31st of each year, for each 1% of increase of market value of the
Company's voting securities above 110% of the market value as of December 31st
of the preceding year, 1,000 additional Restricted Shares vest.


                                        4
<PAGE>   5
         Provision is made for the acceleration of the vesting of the Restricted
Shares upon the occurrence of (a) the approval by the stockholders of the
Company of an Approved Transaction, as defined; (b) a Control Purchase, as
defined; (c) a Board change; or (d) the failure by the Company to renew Mr.
Street's employment agreement on the conclusion of its term on December 31, 1996
or any subsequent or renewed term, on terms identical to those in the employment
agreement then prevailing. Upon the death or total disability of Mr. Street
prior to the complete vesting of the Restricted Shares, all Restricted Shares
not theretofore vested shall become vested.

         The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its
executive officers and directors, (Messrs. Street, Feigenbaum, Boucher, Nicol
and Ms. Ruppert, as well as three former directors and two former executive
officers). In furtherance of such indemnification agreements, on February 27,
1995 the Company established the Directors and Officers Trust Agreement (the
"Trust Agreement") which provides for the establishment of a trust (the "Trust")
with a minimum three-year term to provide a source for certain payments required
to be made under the indemnification agreements (each an "Indemnification
Agreement"), between the Company and certain of its Officers and members of the
Board of Directors of the Company (each an "Indemnitee") granted for the purpose
of indemnifying them to the maximum extent permitted by law and such
Indemnification Agreements from and against any investigation, claim, action,
suit or proceeding against them or involving them relating to or arising from
acts taken or refrained from being taken in any capacity on behalf of the
Company or while serving in an official capacity.

         The Company considers it desirable to provide each Indemnitee with
specified assurances that the Company can and will honor the Company's
obligations under the Indemnification Agreements, including a policy of
insurance to provide for directors and officers liability coverage and in
transfer of $250,000 cash to the Trustee in an amount intended to provide for
future insurance deductibles. For the converting of their Insurance Policy or
Policies, which are held by the Company, the Trust Fund is held by a Trustee
separate and apart from other assets of the Company. The Trust is irrevocable by
the Company, but automatically shall terminate when all assets of the Trust Fund
have been distributed. Termination of the Trust shall not relieve the Company of
its remaining liabilities and obligations under each Indemnification Agreement.
The capitalized terms below have the meanings given to them in the Trust
Agreement.

         Upon written demand for payment by the person designated in the Trust
Agreement as Beneficiary Representative accompanied by a "Notice of
Qualification" (as defined below), the Trustee shall pay the person designated
in the Trust Agreement to administer the payments to the amounts of Indemnitees
("Underwriter") an amount not greater than the balance, if any, of the specified
bookkeeping account ("Account") recorded by the Trustee for each Indemnitee. A
"Notice of Qualification" is a written statement by the Beneficiary
Representative which (I) states the date and action on which the policyholder is
obligated to Indemnitee(s) under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement,
(ii) certifies that, pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, the
Indemnitees are entitled to payment thereunder as a result of the investigation,
claim, action, suit or proceeding, and (iii) states the amount of the payment to
which the Underwriter is entitled. Upon the receipt of a demand pursuant to
subsection (a), above, the Trustee promptly shall inform the Company of such
receipt by courier delivery to the Company of written notice thereof. Subject to
any contrary order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, a payment made
pursuant to this Section may be made without the approval or direction of the
Company, and shall be made despite any direction to the contrary by the Company.
Prior to the time, amounts are to be paid to the Underwriter or his designee
from the Trust Fund as described above, Indemnitees have no preferred claim or
beneficial ownership interest in trust funds, and their rights are merely

(1)      Black-Scholes option pricing method has been used to calculate present
         value as of date of grant. The present value as of the date of grant,
         calculated using the Black-Scholes method, is based on assumptions
         about future interest rates, stock price volatility and dividend yield.
         There is no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be true in
         the future. The actual value, if any, that may be realized by each
         individual will depend upon the market price of the common stock on the
         date of exercise.

(2)      Includes 100,000 options under a restricted stock grant under the 1995
         Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan").

         1995 Plan and 20,000 options granted under the 1988 Incentive Stock

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         During fiscal 1996, recommendations and administrative decisions
regarding the compensation of the Company's executives were made by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is currently comprised
entirely of persons who are not officers or employees of the Company. Mr. Nicol,
who served as a director of the Company and a member of the Compensation
Committee during fiscal 1996, served as President of the Company from October
1989 until August 1990 and as an Executive Vice President of the Company and in
other positions from 1973 through June 1989.

         Mr. Street is a director of the Company and serves on the stock option
committee of the board of directors of Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc. Mr. Feigenbaum, the
Company's Vice-Chairman and also the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, is
also the chairman of Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         Mr. Rudy R. Miller served as a director of the Company and Chairman of
the Audit Committee for five and on-half months of fiscal 1996 until his
resignation on November 15, 1995. During such time and through December 31,
1995, the Company had engaged The Miller Group, of which Mr. Rudy Miller was a
principal, to provide investor-relations services at a monthly rate of $5,500
(exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses).

         The Company has from time to time engaged and compensated firms for the
purpose of advising, structuring and negotiating the private placement of
securities. During fiscal 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
payment to Chriss Street & Co., an investment banking firm affiliated and
controlled by Chriss W. Street, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, of fees aggregating $100,000 based upon its determination that the
amount of the investment banking fees charged were reasonable and on terms at
least as favorable as the terms available from other professionals rendering
such services. The Audit Committee reviewed the fees submitted by Chriss Street
& Company and the Chairman recommended approval of the fees based upon an
independent investment banking firm's opinion that the fees were standard market
rate for the transaction.

         On February 1, 1995, the Company purchased certain assets of
Alternative Psychiatric Centers, Inc. ("APC"), a behavioral medicine contract
management company based in Southern California from Drew O. Miller, who joined
the Company and is currently Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating
Officer. Such purchase price was $50,000 and included the assumption by the
Company of certain operating leases. APC had two operating locations with three
contract units offering inpatient and partial hospitalization services. The
addition of these APC contracts contributed 11% of CareUnit's total operating
revenues during fiscal 1995 although these contracts were owned by the Company
for only four months during fiscal 1995.
