                                   (Unaudited)

1.   The Company
     -----------

     Kuala Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company" or "KUAL") present 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. However, the Company has commenced
     development of three assisted living projects in New Jersey, totaling 320
     beds, and is seeking to focus on developing, acquiring and operating
     assisted living facilities and other forms of senior housing, primarily in
     the northeastern United States and possibly in some mid-Atlantic and
     southeastern states.

     The information below includes forward looking statements. Forward looking
     statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. In particular, the
     Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result of
     changes that could occur in the healthcare industry, including changes in
     Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates. Also the Company is developing
     three assisted living projects and has signed a non-binding letter of
     intent relating to a sale of a 49% interest in its nursing home business
     and transfer of management of these nursing homes for the purchase of the
     49% interest.

2.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kuala
     Healthcare, Inc, ("KUAL") and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). All
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     KUAL owns 58% of the common stock of Infu-Tech, Inc. ("Infu-Tech"); 42% of
     the common stock of Infu-Tech is publicly traded. The minority interest in
     the consolidated financial statements includes the minority stockholders'
     proportionate share of equity in Infu-Tech.

     In December 1997, KUAL acquired a 75% interest in Bach's Drug Store
     ("Bach"), a New Jersey limited liability company (LLC) based in
     Hackettstown, New Jersey, to provide institutional pharmacy services. The
     minority interest in the consolidated financial statements includes the
     minority stockholders' proportionate share of equity in Bach.

     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. Operating
     results for the three month period ended September 30, 1998, are not
     necessarily indicative of the result that may be expected for year ending
     June 30, 1999.

     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 ending June 30, 1998.

3.   Cash and Cash Equivalents
     -------------------------

     Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998 includes
     $188,000 and $163,000 respectively, held by Infu-Tech. A management and
     non-competition agreement between KUAL and Infu-Tech, which expires July,
     2000, prohibits Infu-Tech from lending money to (or borrowing money from)
     KUAL.

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

4.   Other
     -----

     In September, 1998, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with
     Care One, LLC, a privately held New Jersey based long term care company,
     for the acquisition by Care One of a 49% interest in its five nursing homes
     and a 100% interest in the Company's institutional pharmacy business. Care
     One would have the option to purchase the remaining 51% interest in the
     nursing homes in the future. Furthermore, an assisted living joint venture
     would be formed with the Company initially contributing its 120 unit
     project based in Norwood, New Jersey. The Company would receive
     approximately $15 million in cash for its 49% interest in its nursing homes
     and its institutional pharmacy business. The Company would also receive $2
     million for a 49% interest in the assisted living venture. Although the
     letter of intent was signed in September 1998, by late November 1998 the
     purchaser had performed only preliminary due diligence and contract
     drafting had not begun. An exclusive period for Care One to attempt to
     negotiate a contract had expired.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included in the quarterly
report and with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
30, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended September 30, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended September
30, 1997

Total revenues for the 1998 quarter were $15.4 million, which is 5.1%, or $.8
million, lower than 1997. This is attributable primarily to a reduction in
infusion therapy revenues, partially offset by pharmaceutical sales from a
venture entered into in December 1997 (Bach).

Personnel costs decreased by approximately $.2 million, or 2.9% primarily due to
a reduction in personnel at the nursing homes.

Costs of medical and nutritional products sold to patients and other customers
remained constant at approximately $3.6 million, but increased as a percentage
of infusion therapy and other medical services revenues, from 52.0% in 1997 to
56.8% in 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
Infu-Tech's revenues associated with Ceredase, a high cost drug on which
Infu-Tech realizes only a small gross margin, and margin reductions from
operating in a managed care environment.

Selling, general and administrative costs remained relatively constant at
approximately $1.6 million as compared to $1.7 million in 1997.

The provision for uncollectible accounts remained relatively constant reflecting
the Company's efforts in addressing this area.

Other income (expense) net, of $204,000 in 1997 resulted from the re-evaluation
of accounts payables of $208,000 offset by an unrealized foreign currency
translation loss of $4,000. There were no comparable items in 1998.

Minority interest in earnings of subsidiaries represent the portion of the net
income of Infu-Tech and Bach Pharmacy allocable to minority stockholders. The
decrease is the result of the lower Infu- Tech net income in 1998 as compared to
1997, offset by the inclusion of Bach starting in calendar 1998.

The provision for income taxes reflects a full tax charge for Infu-Tech, a 58%
owned subsidiary, which files its own federal tax return.

The net loss realized by common shareholders in 1998 is ($351,000), or ($.10)
cents per share compared to net income available to common shareholders in 1997
of $19,000 or $.00 cents per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, the Company had stockholders' equity of approximately
$2.4 million and total liabilities of approximately $61.3 million, of which
approximately $45.3 million related to debt. The majority of the debt represents
mortgages on three facilities, aggegating $36.6 million, as well as a $2.4
million mortgage, refinanced in May 1998, due June 1, 2005 and secured by
another facility. Other debt includes: a) SFr 643,820 (approximately $443,000)
principal amount of 6% Swiss franc denominated bonds which remain unpaid
although they matured on June 27, 1995 (the "Bonds"); b) SFr 619,500
(approximately $426,000) principal amount of 8% Swiss franc denominated bonds
due June 27, 1998, which maturity the Company has renegotiated and has commenced
making payments; c) $1,213,000 principal amount of 8% notes due 1999; and d)
$3,400,000 principal amount of 6% notes due 2003.

In October, 1995, subsidiaries of the Company sold redeemable preferred stock
for a total of $3.5 million. In June 1997 when one of the subsidiaries sold the
facility it had owned some of the proceeds were used to redeem a portion of the
preferred stock. As of September 30, 1998 the preferred stock outstanding was
$896,000. Of this, $875,000 is due within 12 months.

In October, 1995, the Company negotiated terms to convert $1,464 in trade
accounts payable into notes with interest at a rate of 10%. In September 1998,
this agreement was amended to allow for 24 equal monthly payments of the balance
due on the notes, along with additional accounts payable, commencing September,
1998. The liability at September 30, 1998 is approximately $1.4 million.

In October, 1996, the Company negotiated terms to convert $143 in trade accounts
payable into a note with interest at 10%. In September, 1998, the agreement was
amended to allow for the payment of the remaining balance due of approximately
$65 over 13 months, commencing October, 1998.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance increased from $395 at June 30,
1998 to $514 at September 30, 1998, which includes, at September 30, 1998, $188
held by Infu-Tech. A management and non-competition agreement with Infu-Tech,
which expires July, 2000, prohibits Infu-Tech from lending money to (or
borrowing money from) KUAL.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the quarter ended September 30,
1998 was approximately $1.1 million as compared to approximately $.8 million
used in the 1997 quarter. Cash was provided primarily by cash operating income
of $.2 million, an increase in payables of $.8 million, a reduction in prepaid
and other assets of $.2 million and inventory $.3 million, partially offset by
an increase in accounts receivable of $.4 million.

At September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
approximately $.9 million. Excluding Infu-Tech, which had working capital of
$3.5 million, the Company's working capital deficiency would be $4.4 million.
The Company has essentially no arrangements under which it can make borrowings.

During the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company repaid $458 of
debt, redeemed $218 of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and accrued
preferred stock dividends of $35 .

While the Company continues to experience cash flow constraints, it continues to
use a combination of operating cash flow and realization of assets into cash as
a means of meeting ongoing obligations. It has significant assets which can be
used for this purpose if needed.

Impact of Year 2000

The Company is in the process of conducting a review of its business systems,
including its computer systems, and has sent written inquiries to its customers,
distributors and vendors as to their progress in identifying and addressing
problems that their systems may face in correctly interpreting and processing
date information as the year 2000 approaches and is reached. This review is
expected to be completed by March 1999. Based on this review, the Company will
implement a plan to achieve year 2000 compliance. The Company believes that it
will achieve year 2000 compliance in a manner which will be non-disruptive to
its operations. In addition, the Company has commenced work on various types of
contingency planning to address potential problem areas with internal systems,
suppliers and other third parties. Year 2000 compliance should not have a
material adverse effect on the Company, including the Company's financial
condition, results of operations or cash flow. The Company has incurred no costs
to date due to year 2000 problems. The Company estimates the cost of its year
2000 efforts to be approximately $650,000. The total cost estimate is based on
management's current assessment and is subject to change.

However, the Company may encounter problems with supplier and or revenue sources
which could adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or cash flow. The Company cannot accurately predict the occurrence
and or outcome of any such problems, nor can the dollar amount of such problem
be estimated. In addition, there can be no assurance that the failure of third
parties to achieve year 2000 compliance would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company.
