MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
On July 15, 1997, the Company completed the sale of two subsidiaries, Global
Health Systems and GHS Management Services to Health Management Systems, Inc.
for $2,146,000. As a result the Company is left with assets related to US
Neurosurgical (USN), a wholly owned subsidiary, which operates two Gamma Knives,
a 20% equity interest in Florida Specialty Network, Ltd., and the proceeds from
the sale.
Third Quarter 1997 Compared to Third Quarter 1996 and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996
Results of Operations
Patient revenue increased 46% to $501,000 from $343,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997. The increase was due to an increase in the number of
procedures from the Midwest Gamma Knife Center and additional procedures
performed due to the opening of the NYU Gamma Knife Center. The first patient
was treated at NYU Center at the end of July 1997. Revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, increased 20% to $1,267,000 from $1,056,000 in the same
period, a year earlier.
Patient expenses increased 25% to $256,000 from $204,000 a year earlier. This
increase is due to the opening of the NYU Gamma Knife Center. For the nine
months ended September 30, patient expenses were $625,000 as compared to
$623,000 a year earlier. Selling, general and administrative expense increased
to $287,000 from $72,000 for the quarter ended September 30. This increase was
due to an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts of $116,000 and costs
related to the opening of the NYU Gamma Knife. The Company retained all of the
receivables and payables of Global Health Systems. For the nine months ended
September 30 S,G&A was $338,000 as compared to $101,000 for the same period a
year earlier.
For the quarter ended September 30, the loss from continuing operations was
$193,000 as compared to a loss of $11,000 for the same period a year earlier.
Interest, increased depreciation and amortization were the reasons for the loss.
The loss from discontinued operations was $204,000. The gain on disposal of the
subsidiaries was $1,460,000. As a result net income was $1,063,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997. For the nine months ended September 30, income
from continuing operations was $5,000. The loss from discontinued operations was
$439,000. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$1,026,000.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1997 the Company had working capital of $1,138,000 as compared
to $259,000 at September 30, 1996. The increase in working capital is primarily
from the proceeds of the sale of the subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents at
September 30, 1997 was $1,616,000 as compared with $224,000 at September 30,
1996.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was
$1,584,000 as compared with $316,000 for the same period, a year earlier.
Depreciation expense on the Gamma Knife and amortization on the leasehold
improvements have increased due to the fact that the NYU Gamma Knife was placed
into service during the quarter. As a result of the NYU Gamma Knife Center the
cash held in escrow was released.
Net cash used in discontinued operations was $705,000 as compared to net cash
provided by discontinued operations of $306,000, a year earlier. The net loss
from Global Health Systems was $439,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $995,000 as compared to net cash
used in investing activities of $97,000 at September 30, 1996. The increase was
due to the sale of the two subsidiaries realizing proceeds of $2,146,000 less
the cost of leasehold improvements related to the NYU Gamma Knife of $1,127,000.
Net cash used in financing activities was $417,000 as compared to $501,000 for
the same period a year earlier. The Company paid $567,000 towards its lease
obligations and received proceeds of $150,000 to complete the NYU Gamma Knife
project.
This document contains forward-looking statements. Such statements by their
nature entail various risks, reflecting the dynamic, complex, and rapidly
changing nature of the health care industry. Results actually achieved may
differ materially from those currently anticipated. The various risks include
but are not necessarily limited to: (i) the continued ability of GHS to grow
internally or by acquisition, (ii) the success experienced in integrating
acquired businesses into the GHS group of companies, (iii) government regulatory
and political pressures which could reduce the rate of growth of health care
expenditures, (iv) competitive actions by other companies, and (v) other risks,
as noted in GHS's registration statements and periodic reports filed with the
Commission.

OTHER INFORMATION
GHS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
During the quarter, GHS, Inc. ("GHS"), commenced an action for declaratory
relief (the "Complaint") against A. Hyman Kirshenbaum ("Kirshenbaum") and Jerry
Brown ("Brown") (collectively the "Defendants") in the United States District
Court for the District of Maryland, Southern Division. The complaint seeks a
declaration that GHS is entitled to purchase the Defendants' 20% interest in
U.S. Neurological, Inc. ("U.S. Neuro"), a subsidiary of GHS, for $38,763.41 or
in exchange for 38,782 shares of GHS stock. These numbers were derived pursuant
to an equation set forth in a purchase/option agreement signed by the Defendants
on or about August 2, 1993. The Defendants have rejected these numbers and
allege that, based on their own calculations, their 20% interest in U.S. Neuro
is worth at least $584,497.00. Accordingly, GHS brought suit for a declaration
that its offer to the Defendants is consistent with the purchase/option
agreement and is fair and equitable.
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
(a) None
(b) On July 18, 1997, the Company filed a form 8-K dated July 15,
1997. GHS, Inc.(GHSI) announced the sale to Health Management
Systems, Inc.(HMSY) of the assets of GHSI's subsidiaries,
Global Health Systems, Inc. and GHS Management Services, Inc.
for $2,146,000, which amount includes certain closing
adjustments.
