                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim financial information and with 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 accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been  included.  Operating  results for the three and nine month  periods  ended
April  30,  1996  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be
expected for the year ending July 31, 1996.  For further  information,  refer to

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION

           On August 4, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
shares of Nurse Care,  Inc., the parent  company of New England Home Care,  Inc.
("New England").  New England is a licensed Medicare  certified home health care
agency  providing  services in Fairfield and New Haven  counties in the State of
Connecticut. The purchase price of $3,150,000 was generated from internal funds.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of purchase price
over the  fair  value of the  assets  acquired,  $1,869,000,  was  allocated  to
goodwill and is being amortized over a twenty year period.

           The  following   unaudited  pro  forma   consolidated   statement  of
operations information gives effect to the acquisition described above as though
it had occurred on August 1, 1994, after giving effect to certain adjustments.

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

Results of Operations and Effects of Inflation
- ----------------------------------------------

           For the three months ended April 30, 1996,  patient service  revenues
increased by  $3,464,000,  or 55%,  from  $6,296,000  for the three months ended
April 30, 1995 to  $9,760,000  for the three months  ended April 30, 1996.  This
increase is attributable to the acquisition of New England.

           Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 62% for the
three  months  ended April 30, 1995 to 64% for the three  months ended April 30,
1996. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of New England,
which has  higher  cost of revenue  as a result of  revenue  generated  from its
Medicare patients being limited to cost reimbursement principles.

           General  and  administrative  expenses  as a  percentage  of  revenue
decreased  from 28% for the three  months  ended  April 30,  1995 to 26% for the
three months ended April 30, 1996. General and administrative expenses excluding
those relating to New England decreased  approximately  $215,000 or 12% from the
three months ended April 30, 1995. This decrease is attributable to the decrease
in  administrative  salaries in New York and the  implementation of cost-control
measures in connection with the shift in the healthcare industry towards managed
care in Florida.

           Amortization of intangibles increased from $43,000 to $73,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 1996  primarily as a result of the  recognition  of
goodwill in connection with the acquisition of New England.

           As a result of the  foregoing,  net income for the three months ended
April 30, 1996 was $533,000,  or $.11 per share,  as compared to a net income of
$400,000, or $.08 per share, for the three months ended April 30, 1995.

           For the nine months ended April 30, 1996,  patient  service  revenues
increased  by  $11,730,000,  or 65% from  $18,070,000  for the nine months ended
April  30,  1995 to  $29,800,000  for the nine  months  ended  April  30,  1996.
Approximately  $10,624,000  or 91%  of  this  increase  is  attributable  to the
acquisition of New England.  Patient  service  revenues from Health  Acquisition
Corp. increased $1,229,000 or 9% from the nine months ended April 30, 1995. This
increase was the result of additional volume from existing contracts, as well as
the  expansion  of  services  to include  home care  pediatric  skilled  nursing
services for medically fragile children and their families.

           Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 61% for the
nine months  ended  April 30,  1995 to 64% for the nine  months  ended April 30,
1996. This increase is attributable to the acquisition of New England, which has
higher  cost of  revenue  as a result of  revenue  generated  from its  Medicare
patients being limited to cost reimbursement principles.

           General  and  administrative  expenses  as a  percentage  of  revenue
decreased  from 29% of revenue for the nine  months  ended April 30, 1995 to 28%
for the nine months ended April 30, 1996.  General and  administrative  expenses
excluding  those  related  to New  England  decreased  $202,000  or 4% from  the
corresponding  period of 1995.  This  decrease is  explained  in the above three
month


                                       -9-

discussion. New England's general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 was 29%.

           Amortization  of intangibles  increased from $115,000 to $219,000 for
the nine months ended April 30, 1996 primarily as a result of the recognition of
goodwill in connection with the acquisition of New England.

           As a result of the  foregoing,  net income for the nine months  ended
April 30, 1996 was $1,457,000, or $.31 per share, as compared to a net income of
$1,000,000, or $.21 per share, for the nine months ended April 30, 1995.

           The rate of inflation had no material  effect on  operations  for the
nine months ended April 30, 1996.


Financial Condition and Capital Resources
- -----------------------------------------

           Current  assets and current  liabilities  increased to  approximately
$18,405,000 and  $2,559,000,  respectively,  at April 30, 1996,  representing an
increase of approximately $2,162,000 and $1,622,000, respectively, from July 31,
1995.  These results  increased  working capital by $540,000 from $15,306,000 at
July 31, 1995 to $15,846,000  at April 30, 1996. As a result of the  acquisition
of New England,  the current ratio decreased from 17.3x at July 31, 1995 to 7.2x
at April 30, 1996.

           The Company  provided net cash from operating  activities of $847,000
for the nine months  ended  April 30,  1996 as compared to net cash  provided by
operating  activities  of  $2,440,000  for the nine months ended April 30, 1995.
This decrease is primarily  attributable to the tax carryback claims received in
the preceding  fiscal year.  Historically,  the Company has financed its working
capital requirements through cash flow from operating activities.  Net cash used
in investing  activities  for the nine months ended April 30, 1996  reflects the
purchase of equipment and the purchase of Nurse Care,  Inc.,  offset by proceeds
from  investments.  For the nine months ended April 30,  1995,  net cash used in
investing  activities consisted of the purchase of equipment and the purchase of
investments.  The Company  realized net cash from  financing  activities for the
nine months  ended April 30, 1996 from the Company  receiving a lump sum payment
on notes  receivable and proceeds from the exercise of stock options,  offset by
payments made under capital lease  obligations.  For the nine months ended April
30,  1995,  the Company used cash in  financing  activities  for the purchase of
treasury  shares and payments  under  capital lease  obligations,  offset by the
payments  received on notes  receivable  and proceeds from the exercise of stock
options.

           The  Company  believes  that  it has  sufficient  cash  to  fund  its
operations  for at least the ensuing  twelve  month  period.  In  addition,  the
Company  has  available a  $2,000,000  secured  offering  line of credit and New
England has a secured  advised  line of credit.  The  maximum  amount of the New
England  line shall not exceed the lesser of  eligible  accounts  receivable  or
$2,000,000.  Both  facilities  bear  interest at the alternate  base  commercial
lending rate of the lender and expire  December 31, 1996.  As of April 30, 1996,
there were no outstanding balances under either line of credit.
