                                 RISK FACTORS

        In evaluating the Company and its business, prospective investors
should carefully consider the following factors in addition to those discussed
elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.  Information
contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus may contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," or "continue," or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon
or comparable terminology.  The following matters constitute cautionary
statements identifying important factors with respect to any such
forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in any
such forward-looking statements. 

        NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF ACQUISITIONS.  The Symphony
acquisition approximately doubles the number of beds served by the Company, the
number of Company employees and the Company's net sales.  The Company has made
three significant acquisitions in addition to the Symphony Acquisition in 1996. 
The integration of all of the acquisitions is critical to the Company's success.
Potential obstacles to successful integration include, but are not limited to:
cost containment; elimination of redundancies at the corporate and field level;
consolidation of financial and managerial reporting functions; coordination of
field managerial activities with corporate management; achievement of
purchasing efficiencies; expansion of the customer base of the combined entity;
roll-out of new products and services to acquired facilities; and addition and
integration of key personnel.  There can be no assurance that Symphony or any
other acquisition will be integrated successfully into the Company's operations
or will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of
operations, financial condition or prospects, especially in the fiscal quarters
immediately following the acquisitions.  In addition, there can be no assurance
that the Symphony Acquisition or any other acquisition will achieve net sales
and earnings that justify the Company's investment therein or expenses related
thereto.

        MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH; DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  In addition to
growth resulting from the acquisition of Symphony, the Company has experienced
growth that has placed, and is likely to continue to place, significant
pressure on its management resources.  The Company's successful implementation
of its growth strategy depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified
corporate, financial, clinical, operating and regional management personnel.  
The loss of the services of one or more of the Company's key executives, or of 
one or more of Symphony's key executives, could have a material adverse effect 
on the Company.  The Company does not have employment agreements with certain 
of its key executives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able 
to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel.

        DEPENDENCE ON ACQUISITIONS FOR GROWTH.  A significant component of the
Company's historical growth has come through acquisitions of institutional
pharmacy companies, and the success of the Company's growth strategy is
dependent on additional acquisitions.  No assurance can be given that the 
Company will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or to
consummate acquisitions on terms acceptable to the Company.  The Company will
compete for acquisition candidates with buyers who may have greater financial
and other resources than the Company and may be able to pay higher acquisition
prices than the Company.  To the extent that the Company is unable to acquire
institutional pharmacy companies, or to integrate such acquisitions
successfully, its ability to expand its business would be reduced 
significantly.  

        GROWTH STRATEGY;  NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.  In order to implement
its growth strategy, the Company will require substantial capital resources and
will need to incur, from time to time, additional bank indebtedness.  The
Company also may need to issue, in public or private transactions, equity or
debt securities, the terms of which will depend on market and other conditions. 
There can be no assurance that any such additional financing will be available
on terms acceptable to the Company if at all.  As a result, the Company may not
be able to implement fully its growth strategy.

        NASDAQ STOCK MARKET NET TANGIBLE ASSET CRITERIA.  In order for the 
NASDAQ Stock Market to continue to quote prices for the Company's Common Stock,
the Company must maintain a certain minimum level of net tangible assets.  The
calculation of net tangible assets excludes the value of goodwill, which
typically represents a substantial part of the  assets acquired by the Company,
insofar as most institutional pharmacy companies maintain relatively low levels
of fixed assets.  Should the Company continue to acquire substantial goodwill
and/or increase its liabilities without increasing its stockholders' equity, it
may, from time to time, fail to comply with Nasdaq's net tangible asset
criteria.  Such failure, if not remedied, could result in the Company's Common
Stock no longer being quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Such a result could
have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and price of the Company's
Common Stock. 

     LIMITED HISTORY OF PROFITABILITY.  The Company has incurred net losses in
its last three fiscal years.  For the years ended February 28, 1995 and
1994, losses from continuing operations were approximately $10.8 million and
$521,000, respectively, and for the ten months ended December 31, 1995, the
Company had a loss from continuing operations of approximately $645,000.  While
the Company has been profitable for the past four consecutive quarters, there
can be no assurance that it will continue to be profitable in the future.  

        DEPENDENCE ON REIMBURSEMENT BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS.  The Company derives,
directly or indirectly, a majority of its net sales from government-sponsored
reimbursement programs. The Company's net sales and profitability are, and will
continue to be, affected by the efforts of all payors to contain or reduce
the costs of health care by lowering reimbursement rates, narrowing the scope
of covered services, increasing case management review of service, and
negotiating reduced contract pricing. Any changes in reimbursement levels under
Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay programs, including managed care contracts,
could have a significant adverse effect on the Company's net sales and
profitability.  Changes in the mix of patients among Medicare, Medicaid and
different types of private pay sources, may adversely affect the Company's net
sales and profitability.

     HEALTH CARE REFORM.  The health care industry is subject to changing
political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the institutional
pharmacy industry.  In recent years, several comprehensive national health care
reform proposals were introduced in the United States Congress.  While none of
the proposals were adopted, health care reform may again be addressed by the
United States Congress.  Several states also are considering health care
reforms through Medicaid managed care demonstration projects.  Although these
projects generally exempt institutional pharmacy services and long-term care
facilities, no assurance can be given that these projects will not change the
Medicaid reimbursement system in certain states for long-term care, including
pharmacy services, from fee-for-service to negotiated or capitated rates.  The
Company cannot predict which, if any, federal or state modifications or reform
proposals will be adopted, when they may be adopted or what their impact on the
Company may be if adopted.  There can be no assurance that the adoption of
certain modifications or proposals will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations, financial condition or future prospects.

        ROLE OF MANAGED CARE.   As managed care assumes an increasingly
significant role in the health care industry, Capstone's future success will,
in part, be dependent on obtaining and retaining managed care contracts. 
Competition for such contracts is intense and, in most cases, will require
Capstone to compete based on breadth of services offered, pricing, ability to
track and report patient outcomes and cost data and provision of value-added
pharmacy consulting services, among other factors. There can be no assurance
that the Company will retain or continue to obtain such managed care contracts
or that the managed care contracts it obtains will be on terms as favorable to
the Company as those of its current contracts.  In addition, reimbursement
rates under managed care contracts typically are significantly lower than those
paid by other private third-party payors.

     COMPETITION.   The long-term care pharmacy markets in which Capstone
operates are highly fragmented, and the majority of competition in such markets
comes from small to mid-size local operators whose 



                                      4
<PAGE>   5
primary advantage is market familiarity.  Capstone's competition in the
correctional pharmacy market comes primarily from other large providers.  
Management believes that the primary competitive factor in its industry is
breadth and quality of service. Additional competitive factors include
reputation, ease of doing business with the specific providers, ability to
develop and to maintain relationships with referral sources and competitive
pricing.  Some of the Company's present and  potential competitors are
significantly larger than Capstone and have, or may  obtain, greater financial
and marketing resources than Capstone. 

        GOVERNMENT REGULATION.  Capstone is subject to extensive federal, 
state and local regulation. Federal laws governing the Company's activities
include regulations covering the repackaging, storing and dispensing of drugs,
Medicare reimbursement and certification, and certain financial relationships
with physicians and other health care providers.  Capstone is subject to state
laws governing Medicaid, professional training, pharmacy licensure, payment of
remuneration in exchange for patient referrals and the dispensing and storage
of pharmaceuticals. The pharmacies operated by the Company  must comply with
all applicable laws, regulations and licensing standards.  Many of Capstone's
employees must maintain certain licenses in order to provide services.  The
long-term care facilities which contract for the Company's pharmacy services
are also subject to federal, state and local regulations and are required to be
licensed in the states in which they are located.  The failure by these
institutions to comply with such regulations or to obtain or renew any required
licenses could result in the loss of the Company's ability to provide pharmacy
services to their residents.  There can be no assurance that federal, state or
local governments will not change existing standards or impose additional
standards.  Any failure to comply with existing or future standards could have
a material adverse effect upon Capstone's results of operations, financial
condition or prospects.  

        INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER.  The  Company's principal 
stockholder, Counsel, and its affiliates beneficially own approximately 39.6%
of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company.  As a condition
of Counsel's initial investment in Capstone, the Company agreed contractually
to use its good faith efforts to have elected as directors up to four Counsel
nominees, subject to certain conditions.  As a result of its equity ownership
in the Company and its nominees on the Company's Board of Directors, Counsel can
significantly influence the management and policies of the Company, including
the election of the Company's directors and the outcome of matters submitted to
stockholders of the Company for approval.

     LIABILITY AND ADEQUACY OF INSURANCE.   The provision of health care
services entails an inherent risk of liability. Capstone currently maintains
product and professional liability insurance intended to cover such claims in
amounts which it believes are consistent with industry standards.  There can be
no assurance that claims in excess of the insurance coverage or claims not
covered by insurance will not arise. A successful claim in excess of its
insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.  Claims,
regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also have a material adverse
effect upon Capstone's ability to attract customers, to maintain its insurance
or to expand its business.  There can be no assurance that Capstone will be
able to obtain liability insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms.

                                 THE COMPANY


         Capstone is a leading provider of institutional pharmacy services to
long-term care facilities and correctional institutions throughout the United
States.  On July 29, 1996, Capstone acquired the institutional pharmacy services
business of Symphony Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("Symphony"), a subsidiary of
Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS").  The acquisition of Symphony (the
"Symphony Acquisition") increased the number of long-term care beds served by
Capstone from approximately 44,000 in seven states to approximately 84,000 in 13
states, making Capstone the second largest independent institutional pharmacy
company in the United States.  Management believes the Symphony Acquisition is a
major strategic step in positioning Capstone as a leading provider of
institutional pharmacy services in numerous metropolitan markets nationwide.
The Symphony Acquisition significantly increased Capstone's client base and
geographic scope and establishes relationships with IHS and other large
operators of long-term care facilities not previously served by Capstone.  In
addition, management believes that Capstone's expanded national presence will
enable it to compete more effectively for larger customers who operate multiple
facilities while achieving purchasing efficiencies and other economies of scale.

Capstone provides long-term care facilities with comprehensive institutional
pharmacy services that include the purchasing, repackaging and dispensing of
pharmaceuticals, infusion therapy and Medicare Part B services, and pharmacy
consulting services, all of which are supported by computerized record keeping
and third-party billing services.  The Company serves its long-term care
clients primarily through regional pharmacies that are open 24 hours, seven
days a week.  By establishing regional pharmacies that each have the capability
to serve in excess of 10,000 patients, management believes that the Company can
provide a broader range of services to its long-term care clients on a more
cost-effective basis than many of its competitors.  In the correctional
business, where it currently is the largest non-captive provider of pharmacy
services in the United States, the Company provides pharmaceuticals under
capitated contracts to correctional institutions that have privatized their
inmate health care services.  Management believes the Company's experience in 
managing capitated correctional contracts, which involves the utilization of
closed formularies, generic substitution, rigorous drug utilization review and
proactive physician education, will provide a significant competitive advantage
as managed care becomes more prevalent in the long-term care industry.

         In connection with an investment by Counsel Corporation ("Counsel") in
December 1994, the Company installed a new management team, refocused its
operating strategy on its core institutional pharmacy business and initiated an
aggressive acquisition strategy.  As a result of these efforts, the Company's
net sales increased to $53.0 million on a pro forma basis for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 from $11.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
Capstone's profitability also improved during the same time period, with income
from continuing operations of $3.0 million on a pro forma basis for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Capstone's strategy is to enhance
its position as a leading provider of institutional pharmacy services by:  (i)
acquiring institutional pharmacy companies in metropolitan markets;  (ii)
achieving regional market density in order to enhance its operating leverage;
(iii) positioning itself as the provider of choice to managed care payors in the
markets in which it operates; and (iv) emphasizing internal growth through the
addition of new clients and the expansion of ancillary services. Since the
beginning of 1995, the Company has focused on expanding operations in major
metropolitan markets, concentrating initially on the urban corridor from
Baltimore to Boston and more recently acquiring operations in Chicago.  As a
result of the Symphony acquisition, Capstone also operates in such metropolitan
markets such as Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, Minneapolis-St. Paul and
Tampa-St. Petersburg.  Since December 31, 1994, Capstone has increased its
long-term care bed count from approximately 16,200 to approximately 84,000 and
the number of inmates served in correctional institutions from approximately
65,000 to approximately 120,000.  Growth in the Company's long-term care
business has been achieved through acquisitions in both existing and new markets
and through internal growth, and growth in Capstone's correctional business has
been achieved solely through the addition of new capitated contracts.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The Series B Warrants and the 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants will be
issued by the Company in direct transactions with the holders of the rights to
acquire such securities and such Common Stock is expected to be available for 
public trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market upon issuance.  The Company will pay 
no commissions or discounts in connection with such transactions.

     The Selling Stockholders have advised the Company that they may elect to
offer for sale and to sell the shares of Common Stock listed herein from time
to time through brokers on the Nasdaq Stock Market, in private transactions,
through the writing of options on the shares, or otherwise (including pursuant
to Rule 144 and in transactions with the Company as consideration for the
exercise price of certain warrants), at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale or at prices and terms then obtainable, in block transactions, negotiated
transactions, or otherwise.  Accordingly, sales prices and proceeds to the
Selling Stockholders will depend upon market fluctuations and the manner of
sale.

     If the shares are sold through brokers, the Selling Stockholders will pay
brokerage commissions and other charges, including any transfer taxes (which
compensation as to a particular broker dealer might be in excess of customary
commissions).  No Selling Stockholder has an agreement with any particular
broker with respect to the price at which the Common Stock will be sold or with
respect to any commissions to be charged.  The Selling Stockholders will also
pay the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them in connection with
this Offering.  Except  for the payment of such legal fees and expenses,
brokerage commissions and charges, the Company will bear all expenses in
connection with registering the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.

                  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING REGISTERED

SERIES B WARRANTS
     
     The Series B Warrants will be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement (the
"Warrant Agreement") between the Company and First Union National Bank
(Charlotte, North Carolina), as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").  The
following discussion of certain terms and provisions of the Series B Warrants
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the
Series B Warrants and of the Warrant Agreements, the forms of which have been
filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part.

     Each Series B Warrant will enable the holder to purchase one share of
Common Stock at a price equal to $10.00 per share (the "Exercise Price") at any
time commencing upon issuance until August 16, 1997, unless earlier redeemed by
the Company as described below.

     To exercise a Series B Warrant, the holder must send the certificate
evidencing the Series B Warrant (the "Warrant Certificate") to the Warrant
Agent, together with an election to exercise, setting forth the number of
shares to be purchased and payment by certified check or money order for the
total Exercise Price of the shares purchased.  The Warrant Agent will then
return a certificate evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of the Series B Warrant, together with a new Warrant
Certificate if less than all the shares covered by the Warrant Certificate are
being purchased.

     The Company may redeem all of the Series B Warrants at a redemption
price of $0.25 per warrant at any time after issuance thereof until the
expiration date provided that (i) the Company gives notice to the holders, and
(ii) the closing bid quotation of the Company's Common Stock (as reported on
the Nasdaq National Market) has been 



                                      13

<PAGE>   14
at least 150% of the then effective Exercise Price on all twenty of the
trading days ending on the third day prior to the day on which notice is given.

     The holders of the Series B Warrants are protected against dilution of
their interests by adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying the Series B Warrants and of the Exercise Price upon the occurrence
of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, mergers and
reclassifications.  The Warrant Agreement cannot be amended or supplemented in
a manner adverse to the holders of the Series B Warrants without such holders'
consent.

     The holders of Series B Warrants, as such, have no right to vote on
matters submitted to the shareholders of the Company or to receive dividends
and are not entitled to share in the assets of the Company in the event of
liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of the Company's affairs.  However,
upon exercise of the Series B Warrants and issuance of shares of Common Stock
to the holder, such shares of Common Stock shall have rights identical to all
other shares of Common Stock.

OTHER SECURITIES

        The Company also has outstanding as of July 2, 1996, 650,000 Series A
Warrants that expire August 16, 1996 and 15,836,565 shares of Common
Stock. Certain privately placed warrants to purchase Common Stock at exercise
prices of $3.50,  $4.50 and $5.50 per share are outstanding but have not been
registered and are not freely tradeable by the holders thereof. 

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the shares of Common
Stock and Series B Warrants offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company
by Harwell Howard Hyne Gabbert & Manner. P.C., Nashville, Tennessee.
