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

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           QUARTER ENDED MAY 31,1995
                  COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED MAY 31, 1994


OVERVIEW:

     During the first quarter of fiscal year 1996 and continuing into the
     second quarter of fiscal year 1996 management has actively implemented a
     corporate restructuring of the Company by  concentrating on its core
     business lines of long-term care pharmacy and correctional pharmacy
     services.  The Company has been successful in developing new revenues in
     both the long-term care division and the correctional division with much
     of the new business coming under contract in the months of June, July and
     August.  At the same time the Company has actively worked to  sell or
     close non-core and unprofitable business segments.  The Company began in
     the first quarter and completed in June and July the sale of it's medical
     surgical operations and software division.  The Company has successfully
     completed the shut-down of the Missouri long-term care operation and began
     the process for closing it's mail-order operation which is expected to be
     completed by the end of July, 1995.  In addition the Company has taken
     major steps to reduce it's operating cost through a consolidation of three
     corporate offices into Baltimore, Maryland, and by reducing overhead cost
     through a reduction in work force which took place in June, 1995.  The
     effect of these changes will begin to reflect themselves in the results of
     operations and cash flow of the  second and third quarter as the costs
     associated with these various activities continue to decrease.

     The Company is currently going through a conversion of it's financial
     systems to a mid-range IBM based platform and has just completed the
     conversion of it's payroll and human resource systems.  The Company is
     also working on the conversion of all pharmacy systems to a single
     solution and plans to have several sites converted by the end of the third
     quarter.  Operating expenses are being reviewed and reduced as
     opportunities are identified and additional steps are being made to
     improve the billing and collections function of each division.  The
     Company will continue to focus on the reduction of its operating cost as
     it further integrates the various operations and improves its management
     information systems.  Product costs are being evaluated as the Company
     implements a new primary wholesaler relationship and purchasing policies.
     In addition, inventory levels are being reduced as the company works to
     eliminate excess inventory.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           QUARTER ENDED MAY 31,1995
                  COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED MAY 31, 1994

                                  (CONTINUED)


     THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1994

NET REVENUES:

     Net revenues decreased from $11,223,000 to $10,709,000, a decrease of
     $514,000 or 4.6%.  This decrease was primarily attributable to reduced
     sales in medical/surgical supplies which were not offset by pharmacy sales
     increases.

COST OF SALES:

     Cost of sales includes the cost of drugs and medical/surgical supplies
     sold to patients and institutions.  Cost of sales decreased from
     $6,934,000 to $6,908,000 a decrease of less than 1%.  As a percentage of
     sales, cost of sales for the comparable quarter increased from 61.6% to
     64.5%.  The cost of sales percentage for the first quarter of fiscal year
     1996 is comparable to the 64.8% cost of sales percentage for the fiscal
     year ended February 28, 1995.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

     Selling and administrative expenses excluding depreciation and
     amortization increased from $3,920,000 to $4,078,000, an increase of
     $158,000 or 4.0%.  This increase was attributable to costs associated with
     the settlement of amounts owed under an agreement not to compete, costs
     of consultants and related travel expenses associated with the Company's
     reorganization, and the implementation of a standard bad debt expense
     accrual.  The current periods operating cost do not reflect the majority
     of the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce payroll and operating costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE:

     Net interest expense decreased from $229,000 to $216,000 a decrease of
     $13,000.  The decrease is primarily attributable to changes in the mix of
     the Company's debt between the corresponding periods and the changes
     associated with the CreditAnstalt debt facility, proceeds from the
     Private Placement and the retirement of vendor debt.

OTHER INCOME:

     Included in other income for the current period is $283,000 arising from
     the discounting of indebtedness to a major vendor.  The vendor debt was
     retired in May, 1995 in conjunction with the company's Private Placement
     and the Premier acquisition.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           QUARTER ENDED MAY 31,1995
                  COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED MAY 31, 1994


                                  (CONTINUED)

NET LOSS:

     Net loss for the period increased to $418,000 from $153,000 in the
     comparable prior period.  This increase is a direct result of the lower
     gross profit margin on decreased sales and the increases in operating
     expenses, including the newly implemented bad debt expense accrual, which
     were not fully offset by the gain on the discounted indebtedness.

                   LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CASH FLOW

The Company's net cash used in operating activities was $550,000 for the three
month period ended May 31, 1995 compared to the $154,000 net cash provided by
operations for the three month period ended May 31, 1994.  Cash used by
operations for the three month period ended May 31, 1995 resulted from the
Company's significant operating loss which included a non-recurring gain on the
discount of indebtedness in the amount of $283,000, the reduction of accounts
payable and accrued expenses and the increase in prepaid expenses and other
current assets which was partially offset by the reduction in accounts
receivable and inventories and additions to the allowance for doubtful
accounts.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,243,000 for the three month period
ended May 31, 1995 compared to $60,000 for the prior period.  This significant
increase in cash used in investing activities resulted from the acquisition of
PremierPharmacy, Inc. as of May 31, 1995. (See note 4 to the Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Cash provided by financing activities was $5,676,000 for the three month period
ended May 31, 1995 compared to the $455,000 of cash used in financing
activities for the prior period.  This significant change resulted from the
receipt of $9,650,000 from the loan facility with CreditAnstalt, $5,840,000
received from the private placement of 1,600,000 shares of the Company's common
stock and $750,000 from the proceeds of a loan made to the Company by Counsel
Corp.  These funds were used to retire United Jersey Bank debt in the amount of
$2,983,000, retire the debt to a major vendor in the amount of $1,776,000
(which resulted in a gain on the discount of debt in the amount of $283,000)
and to retire CreditAnstalt senior debt of $5,536,000 associated with Premier
prior to its merger with the Company.

Working capital increased to $9,018,000 from $5,409,000 at May 31, 1995.  The
increase in working capital resulted from the excess of the receipts from the
proceeds of the loan facility with CreditAnstalt and the private placement of
1,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock over the funds which were
disbursed to retire bank debt, vendor debt and the bank debt of Premier.

The Company's current ratio of May 31, 1995 was 2.01:1 compared to 1.85:1 at
February 28, 1995.  At May 31, 1995, prior to its merger with the Company,
Premier had working capital in the amount of $3,472,000 and a current ratio of
2.50:1.

As previously discussed, a result of its past financial performance and the
Premier acquisition, the Company does not comply with current NASDAQ listing
criteria for tangible net worth.  Steps are being taken to comply with
applicable NASDAQ listing criteria, which includes raising approximately $8.0
to $10.0 million in additional capital.
