Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        This filing relates to 660,505 shares of the issuer's Common Stock held
        by the Reporting Person. The Common Stock held by the Reporting Person
        was issued to him in exchange for shares of PrimeVision Health, Inc.
        ("Prime") common stock he owned prior to the merger (the "Prime Merger")
        pursuant to the terms set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
        dated as of April 12, 1999 among the Issuer, PrimeVision Shellco Merger
        Corporation, Prime, OptiCare Shellco Merger Corporation and OptiCare Eye
        Health Centers, Inc. ("the Merger Agreement"). In the Prime Merger each
        outstanding share of common stock of Prime was converted into the right

        consideration was used to acquire the Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

        The Shares held by the Reporting Person have been acquired for
        investment purposes. The Reporting Person expects to evaluate on an
        ongoing basis the Company's financial condition, business operations and
        prospects, the status of any business combination involving the Company,
        the market price of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets
        generally, general economic and industry conditions and other factors.
        The Reporting Person may at any time and from time to time acquire
        additional Shares or sell such Shares. The Reporting Person has no plans
        to effect any of the transactions required to be described in Item 4 of

               Stock, which constitutes approximately 7.3% of the Company's
               outstanding shares of Common Stock.

               The above calculation is based on outstanding Shares information
               derived from pro forma projection in the Company's Registration
               Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-78501) projecting the
               number of shares which would be outstanding after the
               consummation of the merger described above. The Company has not
               filed any periodic reports since the consummation of the
               transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

        (b)    The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote and the sole
               power to dispose of the 660,505 shares of Common Stock he
               beneficially owns.

        (c)    Prior to the Prime Merger described above, the Reporting Person
               held approximately 2,100,000 shares of Prime Common Stock
               received pursuant to the terms of a Settlement Agreement dated as
               of April 9, 1999, among Prime, Dr. Allan L.M.
