PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements

         The condensed consolidated financial statements begin on the page
         following Item 2.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended October 31, 1995 vs. October 31, 1994

The Company's revenues were $40,238,092 for the quarter ended October 31, 1995,
an increase of $20,150,898 or 100.3% over revenues of $20,087,194 for the three
months ended October 31, 1994. This increase was attributable principally to the
increase in revenues generated by the recent acquisitions of the Company which
expanded the Company's Lifecare Program into other chronic disease therapies as
well as to continued growth in the Company's core aftercare business areas.

Gross profit margins were 30.0% for the quarter ended October 31, 1995, as
compared to 33.0% for the quarter ended October 31, 1994. The decrease in gross
profit margin was primarily attributable to the following factors: increases in
multiple sclerosis revenues, which presently yield lower margins than have been
historically experienced by the Company in other disease management programs,
reductions in the fixed fee reimbursement rates from certain state Medicaid
programs (principally New York, which lowered its reimbursement rate by 10%),
and reduction of reimbursement rates that occur when the drug benefit is carved
out from the major medical benefit and is switched to a drug card plan. In
addition, the Company has continued to experience an increase in the number of
transplant patients receiving immunosuppressant drug benefits under Medicare due
to the extension of Medicare coverage beyond the historical one year
post-transplant period. Medicare reimburses at lower rates than indemnity
insurance. The Company believes that these trends will continue to affect profit
margins in the near term but as the industry moves to HMO and managed care, or
back to a single payor, it may be in a position to negotiate for more favorable
reimbursement rates.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased by 2.2% to 19.8% for
the quarter ended October 31, 1995, as compared to 17.6% for the quarter ended
October 31, 1994. Total operating expenses were $7,957,653 for the quarter ended
October 31, 1995, an increase of $4,423,597 over the quarter ended October 31,
1994. The increase was due to the fact that during the last quarter of the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1995 the Company consummated two acquisitions, the
principal one being the acquisition of the Clozaril Patient Management Business
("CPMB") from Caremark International, Inc. Operating expenses in connection with
these acquisitions accounted for approximately $2,800,000 of expenses during the
quarter ended October 31, 1995. In addition to support the Company's continued

                                      (3)

<PAGE>

expansion, payroll-related expenses increased by approximately $500,000 and
selling expenses increased by approximately $200,000. Also non cash expenditures
such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt expense increased by
approximately $600,000. The balance of the increase occurred in distribution and
administration expenses.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended October 31, 1995 was $651,926, an
increase of $742,380 compared to net interest income of $90,454 for the quarter
ended October 31, 1994. Approximately $520,000 of the increase was due to
interest charges relating to the Company's $24,000,000 debt financing of the
CPMB acquisition. The balance of the increase was a result of interest charges
for the Company's borrowings against it's line of credit.

Net income was $2,038,734 for the quarter ended October 31, 1995, compared to
$1,853,348 for the quarter ended October 31, 1994, an increase of $185,386 or
10.0%. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increases in
Lifecare revenues, increased revenues derived from the Company's acquisitions,
offset by a lower gross profit margin, increases in operating and interest
expenses.

Primary earnings and fully diluted earnings per common share for the quarter
ended  October 31, 1995 were $.22 compared to $.20 for the quarter ended
October 31, 1994.

Six months ended October 31, 1995 vs. October 31, 1994

Revenues increased for the six months ended October 31, 1995, were $80,039,871
an increase of $41,834,027 or 109.5%, in comparison to revenues for the six
months ended October 31, 1994. This increase was attributable principally to the
increase in revenues generated by the recent acquisitions of the Company which
expanded the Lifecare Program into other chronic disease therapies as well as to
continued growth in the Company's core aftercare business areas.

Gross profit margins were 29.5% for the six months ended October 31, 1995
compared to 33.4% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit
margin was primarily attributable to the following factors: increases in
multiple sclerosis revenues, which presently yield lower margins than have been
historically experienced by the Company in other disease management programs,
reductions in the fixed fee reimbursement rates from certain state Medicaid
programs (principally New York, which lowered its reimbursement rate by 10%),
and reduction of reimbursement rates that occur when the drug benefit is carved
out from the major medical benefit and is switched to a drug card plan. In
addition, the Company has continued to experience an increase in the number of
transplant patients receiving immunosuppressant drug benefits under Medicare due
to the extension of Medicare coverage beyond the historical one year
post-transplant period. Medicare reimburses at lower rates than indemnity
insurance. The Company believes that these trends will continue to affect profit
margins in the near term but as the industry moves to HMO and managed care, or
back to a single payor, it may be in a position to negotiate for more favorable
reimbursement rates.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased by 1.7% to 20.0% for
the six months ended October 31, 1995, as compared to 18.3% for the six months
ended October 31, 1994. Total operating expenses were $16,003,476 for the six

                                      (4)

<PAGE>

months ended October 31, 1995, an increase of $9,017,845 over the six months
ended October 31, 1994. Operating expenses in connection with the acquisition
that occurred during the last quarter of fiscal year ended April 30, 1995
accounted for approximately $5,500,000 of expenses during the six months ended
October 31, 1995. In addition to support the Company's continual expansion,
payroll related expenses increased by approximately $1,100,000 and selling
expenses increased by approximately $700,000. Also non-cash expenditures such as
depreciation, amortization and bad debt expense increased by approximately
$1,000,000. The balance of the increase occurred in distribution and
administrative expenses.

Net interest expense for the six months ended October 31, 1995 was $1,262,862 an
increase of $1,441,620 compared to net interest income of $178,758 for the same
period last year. Approximately $1,100,000 of the increase was due to charges
relating to the Company's financing of the CPMB acquisition, while the balance
of the increase was a result of interest charges for the Company's borrowings
against its line of credit.

Net income was $3,740,852 an increase of $267,291 or 7.7% for the six months
ended October 31, 1995 compared to net income of $3,473,561 for the same period
last year. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the
increases in the Company's Lifecare revenues, increased revenues derived from
the Company's acquisitions, offset by a lower gross profit margin, increases in
operating and interest expenses.

Primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the six months ended
October 31, 1995 were $.40 as compared to .37 for the same fiscal period last
year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The decrease in the Company's cash and cash equivalents of $468,839 to
$4,093,873 at October 31, 1995 from April 30, 1995 was attributable to cash used
for operating and investing activities offset by net cash provided by financing
activities. The Company's continued growth resulted in utilization of cash for
operating and capital investing activities. Increases in net income, accounts
payable and non-cash adjustments were offset by increases in accounts
receivable and inventory.

Working capital at October 31, 1995 was $42,710,874 an increase of $5,681,019
from April 30, 1994. The primary factors were increases in accounts receivable
net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,373,040 and inventories of
$1,009,713, offset by increases in accounts payable of $6,209,920 and the
payment of corporate income taxes.

The Company has borrowed $21,000,000 on a term loan of which $1,500,000 has been
repaid as of October 31, 1995. This term loan bears interest at a rate of .5%
above the alternative base rate which was 8.75% on October 31, 1995. The
principal is payable over 5 years in quarterly installment payments of $750,000
through March 31, 1996; $1,000,000 through March 31, 1997, $1,250,000 through
March 31, 1999 and $1,000,000 through March 21, 2000.

                                      (5)
<PAGE>

The Company also maintains a credit facility of up to $15,000,000 with the same
lending institutions and matures in March 1997. As of October 31, 1995, the
Company had borrowed $5,650,000 leaving an availability of $9,350,000 under the
line of credit.

In connection with the CPMB acquisition, the Company is also obligated on a
$3,000,000 subordinated note payable bearing interest at an annual rate of 8%
and matures on March 31, 2000.

As of October 31, 1995, days sales outstanding were 109 down 14 days from 123
days for the quarter ended October 31, 1994. The days sales outstanding was
positively impacted by the newly generated revenues arising out of the recent
acquisitions.

The Company believes that its working capital, internally generated funds and
amounts available under its existing line of credit will be sufficient to meet
the Company's capital requirements for at least the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Health Management, Inc.,
(the "Company"), (A Delaware corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
Homecare Management, Inc., ("HMI - New York"), a New York corporation, HMI
Pennsylvania, Inc., HMI Retail Corp., Inc., HMI PMA, Inc., Health Reimbursement
Corp., HMI Maryland, Inc., and HMI Illinois, Inc. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited
and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of operations of the interim period
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's form 10-K for the year ended April 30,
1995. The results of operations for periods for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the whole year.

Note 2:  Capital Transactions

During the quarter ended October 31, 1995, two employees exercised 5,000 stock
options for a total exercise price of $51,875.

Note 3:  Contingency

On April 3, 1995, American Preferred Prescription, Inc. ("APP") filed a
complaint against the Company, Preferred Rx, Inc., Community Prescription
Services and Sean Strub in the New York Supreme Court for tortious interference
with existing and prospective contractual relationships, for lost customers and
business opportunities resulting from allegedly slanderous statements and for
allegedly false advertising and promotion. Four separate causes of action are
alleged, each for up to $10 million in damages. APP had previously filed a
similar suit in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the East District of New
York, which was dismissed and the court abstained from exercising jurisdiction.
The Company has answered the complaint and counterclaimed for libel and slander
predicated upon a false press release issued by APP and added as defendants the
principals of APP. Management believes APP's suit against it to be without
merit, intends to defend the proceedings vigorously and believes the outcome
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
or financial position.

On or about November 6, 1995, a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice was
entered into in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of New York
in respect of the lawsuit which APP brought against the Company and a former
employee of APP who currently is an employee of the Company. That lawsuit, which
was filed on or about April 14, 1995, involved, among others, claims by APP that
the Company had offered the employee employment in order to obtain confidential
information regarding APP and that the Company's employment of the employee
constituted interference with the employee's contract with APP. In that lawsuit,
APP sought injunctive relief and damages in excess of $10 million.

they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of
Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified
member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the
Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of
the Board of Directors in the management of the business, property, and affairs
of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed

providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board of Directors
pursuant to authority expressly granted to the Board of Directors by the

shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of the

taken by committees shall be recorded in minutes of the meetings.
         Section 2.7  Action Without Meeting.

by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of
which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by
the Corporation, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be
lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or
certificates, the Board of Directors (or any transfer agent of the Corporation
authorized to do so by a resolution of the Board of Directors) may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his
legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as the Board of
Directors (or any transfer agent so authorized) shall direct to indemnify the
Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with

destroyed or the issuance of such new certificate or certificates, and such

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 10.1  Indemnification Generally.
         Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee,
or agent of any other corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or
other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan
(hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in
any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent,
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability, and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise or other taxes assessed
with respect to an employee benefit plan, penalties, and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors, and administrators; provided,
however, that, except as provided in Section 10.3 with respect to proceedings to
enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board
of Directors.
         Section 10.2  Advancement of Expenses.
         The right to indemnification conferred in Section 10.1 shall include
the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable in advance of
its final disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided,
however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement
of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or
officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by
such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit
plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking
(hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial
decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a "final
adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
expenses under this Article X or otherwise.
         Section 10.3  Standards for Indemnification
         The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 shall be contract rights. If a claim under
such sections is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a
written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a
claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall
be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or
in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an
advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee
<PAGE>

shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such
suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce
a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee
has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the
Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) any suit by the Corporation to
recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication
that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set
forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the
indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to
enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder,
or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this
Article X or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.
         Section 10.4  Non-exclusive Rights.
         The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Certificate of
Incorporation, these Amended and Restated By-Laws, or any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
