ITEM 2. 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF 
OPERATION  
Statements of Operations: 
 
Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to 
Quarter Ended June 30, 1995 
 
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $247,961, a 2%  
decrease from the same period of the prior year, in which revenues  
totaled $252,148.  Contributing to this decrease, billing and management  
fees were $6,467 lower in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the  
first quarter of 1995, due to the February, 1996 closing of one facility  
at which Medfin Management Corp. provided management services. The  
Company received $6,465 in income on previously purchased finance  
receivables during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, however, serving to  
offset this decline.  Interest and dividend income decreased from  
$19,672 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $15,487 in the current  
year's first quarter, causing the overall decline in revenues. 
 
General and administrative costs declined an overall 17% when comparing  
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 with the corresponding quarter of the  
previous year, from $360,994 for the June 30, 1995 quarter to $298,163  
in the first quarter of this year.  While lower depreciation and  
amortization expense accounted for approximately $2,900 of this decline,  
most of the savings can be attributed to the previously mentioned  
facility closing.  Labor expense showed the greatest absolute decline of  
$42,340, a 21% decrease from the $202,963 of the previous fiscal year's  
first quarter.  Other such decreases included rent expense, which  
decreased by 12%, or $3,738, and telephone expense, which decreased by  
$3,882, or 39%.  Postage expense was also lower, dropping to $6,695 from  
$9,034, a 26% decline.  Interest expense totaled 34% higher than that of  
the previous year, rising to $25,536 from $19,068. 
 
Medfin Management Corp. contributed $41,428 to the Company's loss in the  
first quarter of this fiscal year, a significant improvement over the  
$80,161 loss that this subsidiary showed in the same quarter of the  
previous year.  An expansion of Healthcare Professional Billing Corp.'s  
client base has served to improve its results as well.  This  
subsidiary's net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 totaled  
$16,559 versus a $26,294 loss during the same time frame last year.  The  
parent company had a 7% decline in its separate net income to a loss of  
$22,224 from $20,801 in the previous year's first quarter. 
 
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Income Taxes 
 
At March 31, 1996 working capital amounted to $11,822, down from the  
working capital balance of $47,879 at March 31, 1995. 
 
MedFin Management, Corp. will continue to require working capital  
infusions over the next few months, as the outstanding receivable  
 
 
                                                                    13 
collections mature to cover current cash operating requirements; in the  
interim the Company believes that it has adequate resources to meet such  
working capital needs. 
 
The Company's primary source of liquidity has been the cash it has  
obtained from the liquidation of its investment portfolio and collection  
of medical accounts receivable, as well as loans from financial  
institutions. 
 
The Company anticipates that internally generated cash and its lines of  
credit will be sufficient to finance overall operations. 
 
The Company is continually seeking to acquire businesses and may be in  
various stages of negotiations at any point in time which may or may not  
result in consummation of a transaction.  To provide funding for such  
acquisitions it may take a number of actions including (i) selling of  
its existing investments (ii) use of available working capital (iii)  
seeking short or long term loans (iv) issuing stock.  In addition, the  
Company may seek additional equity funds if needed.  These sources of  
capital may be both conventional and non-traditional.  The Company has  
no existing funding commitments and is presently under no contractual  
obligation to make any investment or acquisition. 
 
At March 31, 1996, the Company had an operating tax loss carryforward of  
approximately $4,400,000.  The Company's effective tax rate for  
financial statement purposes for fiscal year 1996 is negligible based  
upon continuing losses, the aforementioned net operating loss carry  
forwards and other factors. 
 
Impact of Inflation and Other Business Conditions 
 
Generally, increases in the Company's operating costs approximate the  
rate of inflation.  In the opinion of management, inflation has not had  
a material effect on the operation of the Company.  The Company has  
historically been able to react effectively to increases in labor or  
other operating costs through a combination of greater productivity and  
selective price increases where allowable.
