              GERIATRIC & MEDICAL COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION:

  In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
  financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
  accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of February
  28, 1994 and May 31, 1993, and the results of operations for the three months
  and nine months ended February 28, 1994 and February 28, 1993 and changes in
  cash flows for the nine months ended February 28, 1994 and February 28, 1993.
  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Geriatric &
  Medical Companies, Inc.'s annual report filed with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission for the year ended May 31, 1993.  Results of operations
  for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 1994 and February 28,
  1993 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations expected for the
  full year.

2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

  On November 4, 1993, the Company entered into a three year $25 million
  accounts receivable funding agreement with a new financing source, retiring
  its previous financing arrangement. The Company may sell, on a continuing
  basis, up to $25 million of certain qualifying accounts receivable.  The
  Company receives, net of reserves, approximately 80% of accounts receivable
  submitted.  This transaction has been accounted for as a sale under Financial
  Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 77 guidelines but may be treated as
  a financing (borrowing) transaction for Medicare/Medicaid purposes.  The
  accounting for this transaction is consistent with the treatment under the
  prior financing agreement.

  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay interest at 9.84% per
  annum, which is fixed for the three year period, on the outstanding
  receivables submitted.  As of February 28, 1994, the outstanding balance of
  the receivables submitted was approximately $16,494,000 of which
  approximately $12,944,000 were funded, net of reserves.  The portion not
  received by the Company is included in other receivables on the balance
  sheets.  During the nine month periods ended February 28, 1994 and 1993, the
  Company sold approximately $69,575,000 and $55,374,000, respectively, of
  certain qualifying receivables.

  The Company has recognized a provision for costs on sale of accounts
  receivable of approximately $2,495,000 and $2,202,000 for the nine months
  ended February 28, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

3. SUBORDINATED DEBT:

  On February 1, 1994, the Company redeemed $2,868,000 of 16% subordinated
  debentures due December 31, 1994.  The debentures were redeemed at par plus
  accrued interest to the date of redemption.


4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:


  In September, 1992 a class action law suit was commenced against the Company,
  GMS Management, Inc., and various current or former officers of the Company
  in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
  The Complaint alleges that, among other things, various reports and press
  releases issued by the Company misrepresented and omitted to state adverse
  material facts concerning the quality of care given at two nursing homes
  previously managed by the Company.  The plaintiff did not seek a specified
  sum other than "to pay to plaintiff and to all members of the class damages
  in an amount to be proven at trial, with interest thereon."  The Company and
  the individual defendants deny any wrong doing and are vigorously defending
  this action.

  The Company is involved in various routine government inquiries, audit
  surveys and administrative proceedings concerning the activities and
  operations of both its GeriMed Services Group and Life Support Medical Group.

  The Company is also involved in various claims and legal actions arising in
  the ordinary course of business.  The Company believes that the ultimate
  disposition of all of these matters will not have a material adverse effect
  on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

                            AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


INTRODUCTION

Geriatric & Medical Companies, Inc. is a diversified health care provider that
is currently structured into two distinct groups: the GERIMED SERVICES GROUP
and the LIFE SUPPORT MEDICAL GROUP.

The GERIMED SERVICES GROUP owns and operates twenty-four long term care and
residential facilities.  In addition, this Group provides financial services,
insurance and real estate development services to the long-term care
marketplace in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The LIFE SUPPORT MEDICAL GROUP provides pharmaceutical and specialized patient
care products, enteral/infusion therapy, respiratory therapy, durable medical
equipment, pain management, antibiotic and hydration therapies, portable
diagnostic services and ambulance transportation to long-term care facilities
and/or homebound patients.  These services include providing urological and
ostomy products, respiratory services and equipment, decubitus care supplies
and prescription and non-prescription drugs.  In addition, this group provides
hospitality services which include dietary, housekeeping and laundry services
to facilities serviced within the GeriMed Services Group and outside long term
care facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net operating revenues for the three months ended February 28,
1994 are $43,520,000 as compared to $40,781,000 for the three months ended
February 28, 1993, an increase of $2,739,000 or 6.7%. Net operating revenues
for the nine months ended February 28, 1994 are $130,977,000 compared to
$122,625,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $8,352,000 or 6.8%.

Total expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 are $38,849,000 compared to
$37,056,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $1,793,000 or 4.8%.
Total expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 are $116,560,000
compared to $110,828,000 for the same period last year, an increase of
$5,732,000 or 5.2%.

Operating income for the three months is $4,671,000 compared to $3,725,000 for
the three months ended February 28, 1993, an increase of $946,000 or 25.4%.
Operating income for the nine months is $14,417,000 compared to $11,797,000 for
the nine months ended February 28, 1993, an increase of $2,620,000 or 22.2%.

                                  (CONTINUED)




Nonoperating loss for the three months is $910,000 compared to nonoperating
income of $142,000 for the three months ended February 28, 1993.  The variance
is principally the result of the recognition in fiscal 1993 of gains and
deferred income related to asset sales. Nonoperating loss for the nine months
is $2,590,000 versus $933,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 1993, an
increase of $1,657,000.  This increase is attributable to an increase in the
provision for costs on sale of accounts receivable (see Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements) in fiscal 1994 and the recognition in fiscal
1993 of gains and deferred income related to asset sales.

Net interest expense for the three months is $2,725,000 compared to $2,877,000
for the same period last year, a decrease of $152,000 or 5.3%.  This decrease
is attributable to the repayment of $2,868,000 of 16% subordinate debentures
and the recognition of interest income on outstanding receivables.  Net
interest expense for the nine months is $8,639,000 compared to $8,530,000 for
the same period last year, an increase of $109,000 or 1.3%.  This increase is
principally the result of a higher interest rate associated with the Company's
accounts receivable financing agreement entered into on November 4, 1993 (see
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net income for the three months is $778,000 compared to $743,000 for the same
period last year, an increase of $35,000 or 4.7%.  Net income for the nine
months is $2,385,000 compared to $1,751,000 for the same period last year, an
increase of $634,000 or 36.2%.

CHANGES TO GROUP NET OPERATING REVENUES AND OPERATING INCOME FOR THE THREE AND
NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1994 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1993



GERIMED SERVICES GROUP

For the three month period, net operating revenues increased $1,397,000 or 4.6%
compared to the same period last year.  For the nine months ended February 28,
1994, net operating revenues increased $4,764,000 or 5.3% compared to the same
period last year.  These increases are primarily attributable to improved
reimbursement from government programs, higher room rates for private pay
patients, new bed additions and other rate increases.  Total expenses increased
$275,000 or 1.0% and $3,730,000 or 4.6% for the three and nine month periods
ended February 28, 1994 compared to the same periods last year due to costs
associated with growth in revenues net of the effect of the implementation of
cost efficiency programs.

LIFE SUPPORT MEDICAL GROUP

For the three month period ended February 28, 1994, net operating revenues
increased $1,342,000 and operating income decreased $176,000 over the same
period last year.  The increase in net operating revenues for the three month
period ended February 28, 1994 over the same period last year resulted
primarily from  expansion of the ambulance and hospitality services through
contracts with new accounts.  The decrease in operating income is principally
related to costs incurred to expand into new market areas and change in
government reimbursement and regulation in the home care and supplies market.
For the nine month period ending February 28, 1994, operating revenues
increased $3,588,000 over the same period last year.  This increase resulted
primarily from growth from the ambulance transportation and hospitality
services. Operating income for the nine months ended February 28, 1994
increased $1,586,000 over the same period last year.  This increase is
primarily due to cost containment and efficiency programs implemented.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During fiscal 1993, the Company remarketed approximately $7,705,000 of
Industrial Development Bonds, a portion of which was used to cancel cash
collateralized letters of credit.  This resulted in working capital of
$2,366,000 during fiscal 1993.  The Company remarketed $1,315,000 in July, 1993
which resulted in $1,137,000 of additional working capital.

On February 28, 1993 Tomahawk Capital Investments, Inc., (Tomahawk) which is
controlled by the Chairman of the Board of the Company, purchased a note
receivable of the Company for $773,000 cash, plus accrued interest of $57,000,
the fair market value of the note as established by an independent appraisal.

On May 31, 1993, the Company sold its Mount Laurel, New Jersey facilities to
Tomahawk for a purchase price of $8,500,000, the fair market value as
established by an independent appraisal.  The Company received $2,500,000 in
cash and a $6,000,000 note bearing interest at nine percent (9%) per annum.
The note is based on a 25-year amortization with a balloon payment due June of
2005.  Tomahawk prepaid $1,000,000 of this note including accrued interest in
January 1994.  The prepayment was used to redeem the 16% subordinate debentures
in February 1994.

Effective November 4, 1993 the Company entered into an accounts receivable
funding facility pursuant to which the Company may sell, on a continuing basis,
up to $25,000,000 of certain eligible accounts receivable.

The Company redeemed $2.8 million of 16% subordinated debentures due December
31, 1994 on February 1, 1994 at par plus accrued interest.  The Company funded
this redemption through the collection of outstanding accounts receivables and
the prepayment of the mortgage and interest discussed above.

A substantial part of the Company's revenues consist of reimbursement under the
Pennsylvania Medicaid Program, a retrospective cost based program that
typically results in the generation of large receivables which are periodically
settled.  Pennsylvania presently plans to switch to a prospective Medicaid
reimbursement system effective July 1994, which may reduce some of the
fluctuations in the Company's cash flow.  The State of Pennsylvania increased
its rates as of July

1, 1992 and July 1, 1993.  The Company expects these increases to improve its
working capital in fiscal 1994.

The Company instituted a cost reduction program and expects to improve its
working capital through additional efficiencies and cost reductions through
systems development.  The Company further intends to meet its working capital
requirements from payments to be received on amounts due from third party
payors, increased rates, financing arrangements and/or the sale and refinancing
of other assets.

At February 28, 1994, the Company has restricted cash of approximately
$2,509,000 to be used for capital improvements and construction projects.  The
Company has no significant capital commitments which are not fully funded in
the restricted cash accounts.
