              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 November 30, 1993 and May 31, 1993, and the results of
         operations for the six months ended November 30, 1993 and November 30,
         1992 and changes in cash flows for the six months ended November 30,
         1993 and November 30, 1992.  These financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with Geriatric & Medical Companies, Inc's (the
         "Company") annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission for the year ended May 31, 1993. Results of operations for
         the six months ended November 30, 1993 and November 30, 1992 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 $25 million accounts
         receivable funding facility 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% percent per annum on the outstanding receivables submitted.  As
         of November 30, 1993, the outstanding balance of the receivables
         submitted was approximately $15,305,000, of which approximately
         $12,322,000 were funded, net of reserves.  The portion not received by
         the Company is included in other receivables on the balance sheets.
         During the six month periods ended November 30, 1993 and 1992, the
         Company sold approximately $44,642,000 and $42,855,000, respectively,
         of certain qualifying receivables.

         The Company has recognized a provision for costs on sale of accounts
         receivable of approximately $1,592,000 and $1,470,000 for the six
         months ended November 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

3.       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 United Health Care
         Services 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.

4.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

         In January, 1994 the Company announced its call to redeem all of the
         $2.8 million outstanding 16% subordinate debentures due December 31,
         1994 on February 1, 1994 at par plus accrued interest to the date of
         redemption.

services to the long-term care marketplace in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The UNITED HEALTH CARE SERVICES 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 performing
medical records management functions in long-term care facilities and providing
urological and ostomy products, respiratory services and equipment, decubitus
care supplies and prescription and non-prescription drugs.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1992, an increase of $3,166,000 or 7.7%.  Net operating revenues for the six
months ended November 30, 1993 are $87,457,000 as compared to $81,844,000 for
the six months ended November 30, 1992, an increase of $5,613,000 or 6.9%.

Total expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 are $39,251,000 compared

Net interest expense for the three months is $3,015,000 compared to $2,848,000
for the same period last year, an increase of $167,000 or 5.9%.  This increase
is attributable to additional debt combined with an increased weighted average
interest rate.  Net interest expense for the

117.7%.  Nonoperating loss, net for the six months is $1,680,000 compared to
$1,075,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $605,000 or 56.3%. The
increases are principally attributable to increased costs in connection with
the sale of receivables and adjustments to gains of assets previously sold.

CHANGES TO GROUP NET OPERATING REVENUES AND OPERATING INCOME FOR THE THREE AND
SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993 AND NOVEMBER 30, 1992

GERIMED SERVICES GROUP

For the three month period, net operating revenues increased $2,793,000 or 9.0%
compared to the same period last year.  For the six months ended November 30,
1993, net operating revenues increased $4,971,000 or 8.0% compared to the same
period last year. These increases are primarily attributable to improved
reimbursement from government programs and improved census volume. Total
expenses increased $2,244,000 or 8.1% for the three month period and $4,140,000
or 7.5% for the six month period ended November 30, 1993 due to costs
associated with the growth in revenues net of the effect of the implementation
of cost efficiency programs.

UNITED HEALTH CARE SERVICES GROUP

For the three month period ended November 30, 1993, net operating revenues
increased $373,000 and operating income increased $509,000 over the same period
last year. For the six month period ended November 30, 1993, net operating
revenues and operating income increased $642,000 and $843,000, respectively,
over the same period last year.  These increases resulted primarily from the
growth in retail pharmacy and ambulance service revenues.  The increase in
operating income is the result of the implementation of cost efficiency
programs in the current fiscal year and growth in revenues.

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., which is controlled by
the Chairman of the Board of the Company, purchased a note receivable of the
Company for $773,000 cash, the fair market value of the note as established by
an independent appraisal, plus accrued interest of $57,000.

On May 31, 1993, the Company sold its Mount Laurel, New Jersey facilities to
Tomahawk Capital Investments, Inc. for a purchase price of $8.5 million, the
fair market value as established by an independent appraisal.  The Company
received $2.5 million in cash and a $6.0 million 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.

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.

A substantial part of the Company's revenues consists of reimbursements 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 in 1994 through additional efficiencies and cost reductions
through systems development.  The Company further intends to meet its working
capital requirements in fiscal 1994 from increased rates, financing
arrangements and/or the sale and refinancing of other assets.

At November 30, 1993, the Company has restricted cash of approximately
$3,903,000 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.

The Company announced in January, 1994 its call to redeem $2.8 million
outstanding 16% subordinate debentures due December 31, 1994 on February 1,
1994 at par plus accrued interest.  The Company intends to fund this redemption
through the collection of outstanding accounts and other receivables.
