                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


1. The Company

   The  Company's  operations  consist  primarily of nursing  home  services and
   infusion  therapy and other medical  services.  Nursing home services include
   the ownership,  leasing,  operation and management of nursing homes. Infusion
   therapy  and  other  medical  services  include  enteral  and  other  medical
   services,  primarily for patients in nursing homes, and intravenous and other
   infusion therapies for patients at home and in nursing homes.

   The  Company is subject to  certain  risks and  uncertainties  as a result of
   changes that could occur in the healthcare  industry,  including Medicare and
   Medicaid reimbursement rates.

2. Basis of Presentation

   The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Continental
   Health Affiliates, Inc, ("Continental") and its subsidiaries (the "company").
   All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated
   in consolidation.

   Continental  owns 59% of the common stock of Infu-Tech,  Inc.  ("Infu-Tech");
   the other 41% is publicly traded.  The minority  interest in the consolidated
   financial  statements  represents  the minority  stockholders'  proportionate
   share of equity in Infu-Tech.

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
     interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-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  accrual  adjustments,
     considered  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.  In
     addition,  during the nine months, management reviewed various estimates of
     certain liabilities and the adequacy of bad debt provisions and recorded an
     aggregate  of $889,000 as credits,  Of which  $473,000  was recorded in the
     quarter.  Significant items are discussed in the management  discussion and
     analysis section.

   Operating  results for the nine month period  ended March 31,  1997,  are not
   necessarily  indicative  of the result that may be expected for year end June
   30, 1997.

   These financial  statements and notes should be read in conjunction  with the
   Company's  audited  financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the
   Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996.

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and  cash  equivalents  at March  31,  1997 and June 30,  1996  includes
   $43,000 and $691,000  respectively,  held by Infu-Tech.  In connections  with
   Infu-Tech's  initial  public  offering,   a  management  and  non-competition
   agreement  between  Continental  and its  59%  owned  subsidiary,  Infu-Tech,
   expiring  September 30, 1997,  prohibits  Infu-Tech from lending money to (or
   borrowing money from)  Continental and its other  subsidiaries  subsequent to
   December 31, 1992.

   The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
   months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.

4. Exchange Offer

   On October 4, 1996, the Company completed an exchange offer to holders of its
   14 1/8%  Subordinated  Debentures  that were due on  September  1, 1996.  The
   Company offered for each $1,000 principal amount of subordinated debentures a
   share of a new 11% convertible Preferred Stock with a liquidation  preference
   of $1,000. Of the total of $1.2 million subordinated  debentures outstanding,
   $474,000  principal  elected  to  exchange  into  Series  A  11%  Convertible
   Preferred Stock.

   The new Preferred Stock will be convertible for three years into  Continental
   Health  common stock  which,  at the time of  conversion,  has a market value
   totaling 100% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock. After the
   three years,  the Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock which
   has a  market  value  totaling  110%  of the  liquidation  preference  of the
   Preferred Stock. Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends
   totaling $110 per share per year, equal to 11% of the liquidation  preference
   of the Preferred Stock.  After three years,  Continental Health will have the
   right  either to (1)  redeem the  Preferred  Stock for 1,000 per share or (2)
   convert the outstanding  Preferred Stock into Continental Health common stock
   which  has a  market  value at the  time of  conversion  equal to 100% of the
   liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock.

   During the period  ended  December 31,  $440,000  face amount of the Series A
   Convertible  Preferred  Stock  converted  into common  stock of the  Company,
   leaving  $34,000  face  amount of the Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock
   outstanding at March 31, 1997.

5. Extraordinary Item

In  March  1997,  the  Company  exchanged  600,000  shares  of  common  stock to
extinguish  liabilities of $2,542,000 of which  $1,192,000  is  reflected  as an
extraordinary gain in the results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  

   The  extraordinary  gains of  $2,367,000  for the nine months ended March 31,
   1997 include the above  referred to gain in addition to a gain on disposal of
   assets and a gain on a forfeited deposit.


The  Company is  obligated  to issue a further  100,000  shares of common  stock
should  the share  price  fall  below an average of $2.50 per share for 6 months
during  the  twelve  month  period  immediately  following  the  removal  of the
restriction against resale.
     

6. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("EPS"),  which
   is effective as of December 31, 1997. This standard changes the way companies
   compute EPS to require all companies to show "basic" and  "dilutive"  EPS and
   is to be  retroactively  applied,  including each 1997 interim  quarter.  The
   statement is not  expected to have a material  effect on the  calculation  of
   EPS.

Item 2.   Management 's Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
          Results of Operations


The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three  Months ended March 31, 1997  Compared  with Three Months Ended March
31, 1996

Total  revenues were $685,000 or 4% lower for 1997 compared with 1996.  Revenues
in the prior period included $593,000  attributable to the Hilltop facility sold
in May 1996. Further,  the King David West Palm Beach, Florida facility was down
10% in occupancy over the comparable quarter.

Infusion  therapy and other medical services  revenues  increased by $621,000 or
10%, from $6,314,000 in 1996 to $6,935,000 in 1997, primarily due to a $725,000,
or 17% increase in home infusion  division  revenues.  Contract service division
revenues  increased by $334,000 or 24%.  These revenues are comprised of enteral
nutrition  therapy and other  products  provided to patients in  long-term  care
facilities.

Personnel  costs  decreased  by  $161,000,  or 2%. The  reduction  is due to the
absence  of the  Hilltop  facility,  sold in May  1996,  together  with a credit
resulting from the reconciliation of payroll accounts.

Costs of medical and  nutritional  products sold to patients and other customers
increased by $216,000 or 7%, from $3,139,000 in 1996 to $3,355,000 in 1997. As a
percentage of infusion therapy and other medical services revenues,  medical and
nutritional product costs was 48% in 1997 and 50% in 1996.

Health care and lodging expenses,  which are incurred in connection with nursing
home services, increased by $230,000 or 10%.

Selling,  general and administrative costs decreased by $90,000 or 5%. Increases
from Infu-Tech include expenses attributable to investment banking retainer fees
in connection with acquisitions work,  engagement of an investor relations firm,
costs connected with the development of a disease state  management  program and
distribution costs increases. In addition, the opening of a Florida pharmacy and
costs  associated  with setting up the Humana Health Plans  capitation  contract
added to the increase in selling,  general and administrative expenses offset by
the write off of certain trade payables and exclusion of the Hilltop facility.

The  provision for  uncollectible  account  approximates  1% of revenues in both
During the quarter, Infu-Tech pursued a focused effort on cash collections. This
project has resulted in improved cash flows and enabled the Company to conduct a
review of its allowance for  uncollectible  accounts.  As a result of the review
the  Company  determined  that the  existing  allowance  at March  31,  1997 was
excessive  and a  reduction  from the  existing  allowance  of $46,000 was made.
periods.

Other  income  (expense)  net, of $236,000 in 1997  consisted  of an  unrealized
foreign  currency  translation  gain of  $74,000  and the  balance is due to the
re-evaluation  of  accruals.  Other  income  (expense)  net, of $220,000 in 1996
consisted  of  amortization  of deferred  income of $142,000  and an  unrealized
foreign currency translation of $44,000.

Minority  interest in profit of  subsidiary  of $85,000 in 1997 and  $109,000 in
1996 represents the portion of the net income of Infu-Tech allocable to minority
stockholders  and reflects the  exhaustion of net operating  loss  carryforwards
which were available in 1995.

The  provision  for income taxes of $147,000 in 1997  reflects a full tax charge
for Infu-Tech, a 59% owned subsidiary which files its own federal tax return.

In March  1997,  the Company  agreed to convert  certain  liabilities  into
Common Stock of the Company. The

                                      9

transaction  resulted in an increase to  shareholders  equity of  $2,542,000  of
which  $1,192,000  is  reflected  as an  extraordinary  gain in the  results  of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

The  preferred  stock  dividend  does not  include  the  mandatorily  redeemable
preferred  stock  issued as part of the October 31,  1995  refinancing  which is
accounted for under interest and financing costs.

The net income  available  to common  shareholders  in 1997 was  $367,000 or .04
cents per share compared to net income available to common  shareholders in 1996
of $24,000 or .01 cent per share.

Nine Months ended March 31,1997 Compared with Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996

Total revenues were  $2,248,000 or 4% higher in the 1997 period  compared to the
same period of the prior year.  This is due to an improved  patient mix yielding
higher  reimbursement,  the inclusion of the Heritage Facility,  for nine months
compared to five months in the prior  period  while  being  partially  offset by
lower  occupancy  at the West Palm  Beach  facility,  and the  exclusion  of the
Hilltop facility for the current nine months.

Infusion therapy and other medical services revenues  increased by $1,488,000 or
8%,  from  $18,951,000  in 1996  to  $20,439,000  in  1997,  primarily  due to a
$1,040,000, or 24% increase in home infusion division revenues. This increase is
primarily  attributed  to a 12%  increased  in the number of patients  serviced.
These  patients  experienced  shorter  terms of  therapy  as well as  discounted
pricing negotiated with managed care companies.

Personnel costs increased by $1,490,000.  Primarily  attributed to the inclusion
of the Heritage  Facility  for nine months  compared to five months in the prior
period,  normal cost of living  increases,  use of Company  personnel to perform
some services  previously  performed by outside  consultants,  higher  Infu-Tech
nursing  costs  incurred to support the 12% increase in home  infusion  patients
serviced,  increased  Infu-Tech  pharmacy  payroll,  as  well  as an  increasing
geographical coverage through Infu-Tech sales force expansion.

Costs of medical and  nutritional  products sold to patients and other customers
decreased by $130,000 or 1%, from $9,579,000 in 1996 to $9,449,000 in 1997. As a
percentage of infusion therapy and other medical services revenues,  medical and
nutritional  product  costs  decreased  from  51% in  1996 to 46% in  1997.  The
improvement  in the  nutritional  product  costs  as a  percentage  of  sales is
partially   attributable  to  Infu-Tech's   participation  in  group  purchasing
programs.

Health care and lodging expenses,  which are incurred in connection with nursing
home  services,  decreased  by  $426,000 or 5%,  this was  primarily  due to the
inclusion  of the Heritage  Facility for nine months  compared to five months in
the prior period and the exclusion of the Hilltop  Facility for the current nine
months.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  costs  increased  by  $844,000,  or 18%,
primarily  as  a  result  of  increased   insurance   and  other  related  costs
attributable  to the  acquisition of four facilities on October 31, 1995. Of the
increase  $529,000 can be attributable to Infu-Tech.  These expenses are largely
attributable to investment  banking retainer fees in connection with acquisition
work,  engagement  of an  investor  relations  firm,  costs  connected  with the
development  of  a  disease  state  management  program  and  distribution  cost
increases.  In addition,  the opening of a Florida pharmacy and costs associated
with  setting  up the  Humana  Health  Plans  capitation  contract  added to the
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The provision for uncollectible accounts was 1% of revenues in 1997 and 2% of In
January 1997,  Infu-Tech  commenced a focused effort on cash  collections.  This
project has resulted in improved cash flows and enabled the Company to conduct a
review of its allowance for  uncollectible  accounts.  As a result of the review
the  Company  determined  that the  existing  allowance  at March  31,  1997 was
excessive  and a  reduction  from the  existing  allowance  of $46,000 was made.
revenues in 1996.

Due to an October 31, 1995  refinancing for the acquisition of four  facilities,
depreciation  and amortization  expenses  increased by $588,000 and interest and
other financing costs increased by $1,821,000.

Other  income,  net of  $416,000  in 1997  primarily  consisted  of  $72,000  of
amortization  of  a  $628,000  payment  received  by  the  Company  in  1992  as
consideration  for Infu-Tech  releasing  the buyer of the Company's  former Home
Nursing Division from an agreement not to sell infusion therapy services and the
Company's  agreeing not to provide  nursing  services in California,  Arizona or
Tennessee for a period of five years; an unrealized foreign currency translation
gain of  $154,000  and the  re-evaluation  of  accruals.  Other  income,  net of
$660,000 in 1996 consisted of amortization  of deferred income of $512,000,  and
an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $68,000.

Minority  interest in earnings of subsidiary of $316,000 in 1997 and $328,000 in
1996 represents the portion of the net income of Infu-Tech allocable to minority
stockholders  and reflects the  exhaustion of net operating  loss  carryforwards
which were available in 1995.

The  provision  for income taxes of $535,000 in 1997  reflects a full tax charge
for Infu-Tech, a 59% owned subsidiary which files its own federal tax return.

In March 1997, the Company  agreed to convert  certain  liabilities  into Common
Stock of the Company.  The  transaction  resulted in an increase to shareholders
equity of $2,542,000 of which $1,192,000 is reflected as an  extraordinary  gain
in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

The  extraordinary  gains of $2,367,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997
include  the above  referred to gain in addition to a gain on disposal of assets
and a gain on a forfeited deposit.

The  preferred  stock  dividend  does not  include  the  mandatorily  redeemable
preferred  stock  issued as part of the October 31,  1995  refinancing  which is
accounted for under interest and financing costs.

The net income  available  to common  shareholders  in 1997 was  $370,000 or .04
cents per share  compared to a net income  available to common  shareholders  in
1996 of $365,000 or .05 cents per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1997, the Company had stockholders'  equity of $4,677,000 and total
liabilities of $68,711,000. At March 31, 1997 debt amounted to $54,273,000,  the
majority of which arose from the acquisition of four facilities under the Nomura
refinancing.  Other debt included SFr 680,610 (approximately $470,000) principal
amount of 6% Swiss  franc  denominated  convertible  bonds which  remain  unpaid
although they matured on June 27, 1995 (the "Bonds"); SFr 619,500 (approximately
$428,000)  principal  amount of 8% Swiss  franc  denominated  bonds due June 27,
1998;  $184,000 principal amount of a secured loan ("Secured Loan") due November
1997; $1,213,000 principal amount of 8% notes due 1999; and $3,400,000 principal
amount of 6% notes due 2003.

On October 4, 1996 an Exchange Offer made by the Company to exchange shares of a
new 11% convertible  Preferred Stock for all its remaining 14 1/8%  subordinated
Debentures due September 1, 1996 expired.

                                      11

$474,000 face amount of debentures  were  exchanged and $474,000 was returned to
the Company from the escrow account which had been  established with the Trustee
to repay the  holders.  As of March  31,  1997  $440,000  face  amount  had been
converted into common shares of the Company,  leaving $34,000 face amount of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

On October 31,  1995,  the Company  made a 15 year  borrowing  of $41.0  million
secured by  mortgages  on four of the  company's  nursing  homes and a five year
borrowing of $1.5 million secured by 8 acres of land in West Orange, New Jersey.
In addition,  four  subsidiaries of the Company sold preferred stock for a total
of $3.5 million.  The $46.0 million  borrowing allowed the Company to purchase 4
nursing homes (three of which  previously had been operated by the Company under
leases and the fourth of which the Company had sold in 1990 and managed  under a
management contract since then) and to repay $301,000, and extend the balance of
a $601,000  secured note which would have matured in December  1995. At the same
time, the company converted $1,476,000 of trade payables into a three year note.
In September 1996 the Company converted an additional $904,467 of trade payables
into one to three year notes.

The Company sold the 8 acres of land which secured a five year $1.5 million loan
and  utilized  the  proceeds to pay-down  that  borrowing,  leaving a balance of
$454,000.  The company has the right to prepay that loan in full by December 31,
1997 and take a $150,000 credit, which it intends to do.

When  the  Bonds  matured  on  June  27,  1995,  SFr  2,900,000   (approximately
$2,525,000)  principal  amount,  together  with accrued  interest of SFr 174,000
(approximately  $152,000),  was outstanding.  Between June 30, 1995 and June 30,
1996, the Company acquired SFr 2,164,000  principal  amount of Bonds,  including
accrued  interest on those Bonds, for a total of SFr 1,122,375 and $315,000 plus
a SFr 619,500 note maturing in June 1998.  As of December 31, 1996,  the Company
had acquired an additional SFr 85,000  principal amount of bonds (with interest)
for $78,000.

The Company's cash and cash  equivalents  balance  decreased from  $2,900,000 at
June 30,  1996 to  $691,000  at March 31,  1997.  Included in the March 31, 1997
balance is $43,000 held by Infu-Tech.  In  connections  with the initial  public
offering of Infu-Tech  common stock,  the Company  entered into a management and
non-competition  agreement with Infu-Tech,  expiring  September 30, 1997,  which
prohibits  Infu-Tech  from  lending  money  to (or  borrowing  money  from)  the
remainder of the Company.

Operating  activities  provided  $87,000 of cash primarily due to an increase in
net  accounts  receivable  of  $2,988,000  offset by an increase in payables and
other  current  liabilities  of  $1,860,000  and net income of $500,000.  Of the
$3,734,000  increase in  accounts  receivable,  $1,616,000  is  attributable  to
Infu-Tech.  At March 31,  1997,  the  balance  in net  accounts  receivable  for
Infu-Tech  was 21% higher than the  balance at June 30,  1996.  Infu-Tech's  net
accounts receivable has increased from 84 days sales at June 30, 1996 to 92 days
sales at March 31, 1997,  primarily as a result of continued  slow payments from
Medicare and managed care companies.  Medicare payments have been delayed due to
changes in reimbursement policies, while managed care companies have experienced
delays in  processing  payments due to a higher  volume of claims.  As a result,
Infu-Tech has  experienced  increased  delays in having its claims  processed as
well as an increase in the number of initial  claims  rejected.  The increase in
accounts  receivable  attributable  to the nursing  home  division was due to an
accrual  of  retroactive  Medicare  payments  resulting  from  anticipated  rate
adjustments.  The Company  (excluding  Infu-Tech)  provided  $432,000 of cash in
operating activities.

The Company has no  arrangements  under  which it can make  borrowings.  At
March 31, 1997, the Company

                                      12

<PAGE>



had a working  capital  deficit of $4,555,000.  Excluding  Infu-Tech,  which had
working  capital of $4.9 million,  the Company had a working  capital deficit of
$9,501,000. Further, at March 31, 1997, Infu-Tech's cash and cash equivalents of
$43,000 were $648,000 less than the balance of $691,000 at June 30, 1996 and its
accounts  payable of $2,934,000 were $155,000 higher than the $2,779,000 at June
30, 1996.

During the nine months ended March 31, 1997,  the Company  repaid  $2,551,000 of
debt and paid preferred dividends of $83,000.

At March 31,  1997,  the Company had  approximately  $8.1 million of debt due in
1997  including  $6.3  million  of  mortgage  debt which it intends to prepay or
refinance  in 1997.  In  December  1996,  the  Company  began to make  mandatory
principal  redemption  payments of its subsidiaries'  Preferred Stock of $73,000
per month.

The Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

While the Company  continues to experience  tight cash flow  constraints,  it is
focused  on  generating  sufficient  funds  through  operating  cash flow or the
realization of assets into cash to meet ongoing obligations.
