ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

                              INTRODUCTORY SUMMARY

         Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the "Company") is an institutional
pharmacy providing prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals and
related services including intravenous therapy services and pharmacy consulting
services, to residents of over 200 long-term care facilities containing
approximately 44,000 beds in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Delaware.  In addition, the Company provides
services to inmates in over 120 correctional facilities housing over 120,000
inmates throughout the United States making Capstone the largest private
provider of such services to inmates in the United States.  The Company also
provides pharmaceuticals and related services to hospitals and health
maintenance organizations.

                        MATERIAL CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

         Name Change, Reincorporation and Fiscal Year Change.  On August 28,
1995, the Company changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.
Effective October 2, 1995, the Company changed its name from Choice Drug
Systems, Inc. to Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc.  Additionally, effective
December 31, 1995, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from February 28 to
December 31.

         Acquisitions.  On May 22, 1995, the Company acquired Premier Pharmacy,
Inc. ("Premier"), another institutional pharmacy, for a purchase price of $4.25
million (the "Premier Acquisition").  Premier's operations generate annualized
revenues of approximately $24 million, primarily from pharmacy services
provided to long-term care facilities and hospitals.

         Effective January 3, 1996 the Company acquired Geri-Care Systems, Inc.
and Scripts & Things, Inc. ("Geri-Care"), a privately held provider of
pharmacy services to nursing homes in the New York metropolitan area that
generates annualized revenues of approximately $7,000,000.  The purchase price
was approximately $6,400,000, payable $1,350,000 in cash and promissory notes,
and the remainder in common stock of the Company.  The agreement also includes
an additional contingent incentive payment of $1,500,000, payable in common
stock of the Company, as compensation for certain new business to be generated
through 1998 by the selling shareholders of Geri-Care.

         On February 29, 1996, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with IMD Corporation ("IMD") by which the Company acquired the
operations of IMD.  The purchase price was approximately $15,500,000 in cash.


                                      2

         New Management.  Since December 1994 the Company's management has been
altered substantially to include a new Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Chief
Executive Officer, all of whom have substantial experience in the health care
industry.  R. Dirk Allison, former Chief Executive Officer of Premier, was
elected as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Allan C.
Silber and Morris Perlis became Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Company,
respectively.

         Prior to the arrival of new management, the Company had begun the
disposal of certain non-core business lines and restructuring of its remaining
business in an effort to return the Company to profitability.  The Company's
new management has begun a broader and more substantial reorganization and
restructuring of the Company that is expected to include consolidation of
operations, elimination and reduction of various overhead expenses and
divestiture of certain non-performing or under-performing assets.

         Credit Facility.  On May 22, 1995, the Company entered into a
three-year revolving line of credit (as amended, the "Line of Credit") in the
amount of $10,000,000 from Creditanstalt Corporate Finance, Inc.
("Creditanstalt").  The initial borrowings under the Line of Credit were used
in conjunction with funds from the May Private Placement (as discussed below)
to pay off the Company's prior bank indebtedness, pay off Premier's prior bank
indebtedness, fund the Premier Acquisition and retire certain other trade
debts. The Line of Credit bears interest at prime rate plus .5%, and is secured
by substantially all the assets of the Company.  The Line of Credit replaced a
$6,000,000 credit facility at prime rate plus 1.5%.

         During January 1996, Creditanstalt agreed to amend the Line of Credit
to provide for an increase in borrowings available under the Line of Credit to
$15,000,000 and to add a term loan facility (the "Term Loan") in the amount of
$10,000,000 (collectively, the "Credit Facility").  Creditanstalt has agreed
that availability under the Line of Credit and the Term Loan will be increased
to $21,000,000 and $14,000,000, respectively, in the event the Company raises
at least $7,500,000 of additional common equity.  Borrowings under the Credit
Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, bear
interest at rates of either prime plus .25% or LIBOR plus 1.25% and are subject
to other restrictions and loan covenants, all as defined by the underlying
agreements.

         Private Placements.  On May 22, 1995, the Company completed a private
placement (the "May Private Placement") of 1,600,000 units (the "Units").  Each
Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock, a three-year warrant to acquire
0.5 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $4.50 per share, and a
three-year warrant to acquire 0.4 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price
of $5.50 per share.  Investors were granted registration rights with respect to
both the Common Stock included in the Units and the Common Stock underlying the
related warrants.  The offering of Units raised proceeds of $5,759,000, net of
related costs at a price of $3.65 per Unit.

         The securities sold in the May Private Placement are unregistered and
are thus subject to typical restrictions on resale or transfer.  In connection
with the May Private Placement, Counsel Corporation, a Toronto, Ontario, Canada
corporation ("Counsel") agreed to abandon certain demand





                                       3
<PAGE>   4

and piggyback registration rights previously granted to it by the Company.
Investors in the May Private Placement, including Counsel, are however,
entitled to demand and piggyback registration rights comparable to those
abandoned by Counsel.  The terms of the May Private Placement were approved by
an independent committee of the Board of Directors.  In addition, the Board of
Directors received an opinion from an independent investment banking firm to
the effect that the transaction was fair from a financial point of view to the
Company's shareholders.

         On August 29, 1995, the Company completed a second private placement
(the "August Private Placement") of its common stock.  This offering consisted
of 3,500,000 shares at a price of $4.38 per share.  The net proceeds of this
offering were $15,061,000, net of related costs including placement
commissions.  There were no warrants issued in connection with the August
Private Placement.  The proceeds of this private placement were used to retire
outstanding debt of $9,650,000 due to Creditanstalt and for general working
capital purposes.  The Company has also granted registration rights with
respect to shares issued under the August Private Placement comparable to the
registration rights granted in the May Private Placement.

         The Company is currently contemplating a private placement of up to
approximately 3,000,000 shares at a price determined based on the average
closing price of the Company's common stock on the five trading days prior to
the closing thereof.  It is expected that registration rights will be granted
to the purchasers in the private placement that are similar to the rights
granted by the Company in the May and August Private Placements.

         Extension of Expiration Date of Redeemable Warrants and Related
Potential Issuance of Class B Warrants.  In August 1995, the Company's Board of
Directors extended the expiration date of certain outstanding redeemable
warrants issued as part of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO
Warrants") to March 31, 1996.  Subsequent to year-end, the expiration date of
the IPO Warrants was extended further to June 30, 1996.  The exercise price of
the 650,000 IPO Warrants is $6.00 per share.  The expiration date of the
650,000 Class B Warrants (which are exercisable at $10.00 per share) to be
issued upon exercise of the IPO Warrants was also extended subsequent to
year-end to June 30, 1997.  The other terms of the IPO Warrants remain the
same.


                                  THE BUSINESS

         The Company's primary business consists of supplying prescription
drugs to institutional customers.  The Company typically dispenses prescription
drugs to health care facilities utilizing unit dose packaging, whereby the
Company individually packages drugs to meet each patient's needs for a day or
for some multi-day period.  Each drug is then dispensed by either individually
sealing the required dose or sealing such dose in an individual cavity within a
blister package.  The Company can customize the timing and packaging of its
delivery system to meet specific client needs.

         The Company utilizes a simplified order processing system which
enables a health care facility to order pharmaceuticals using pre-printed forms
and generally to take delivery of such orders within 24 hours.  The order entry
form is custom-printed and contains computer generated information





                                       4
<PAGE>   5

relating to the currently prescribed drug regimen for each patient, certain
vital statistics about the patient and a check-off list for the physician to
use to request special diets, laboratory tests and therapy consultations.  The
treating physician at a health care facility reviews the drug regimen on the
printed form for accuracy and completeness with respect to each patient, making
changes as necessary.

         Once delivered to the Company, the order entry forms are entered into
a computer system, and the data is used to fill prescriptions and print
prescription labels containing information about the patient, the drug ordered
and the regimen prescribed by the physician.

         Suppliers.  The Company purchases substantially all of its
pharmaceutical inventories from wholesalers and manufacturers. In connection
therewith, the Company has entered into a primary wholesaler agreement with a
supplier (the "Supplier") pursuant to which the Company receives twice-daily
deliveries of ordered inventory from the Supplier. Effective December 1995, the
Company changed its primary supplier relationship by selecting FoxMeyer Drug
Company as its primary supplier.

         The Company also has in place secondary wholesaler agreements to
further minimize the number of its channels of distribution, while maximizing
inventory quality and cost savings to the Company. Because of readily available
alternatives, management believes that the Company is not dependent upon any
one supplier.

         Purchases of inventory under the primary wholesaler relationships
during the ten months ended December 31, 1995 and for the years ended February
28, 1995 and 1994 were approximately 87%, 55% and 57%, respectively, of the
Company's total inventory purchases.

         Customers.  The primary customers of the Company are long-term care
facilities, correctional facilities, and hospitals.  The Company is not
dependent on any one customer.  The table below sets forth the percentage of
revenues from continuing operations derived from each payor source for the
periods presented:

</TABLE>

         Competition.   The industry in which the Company operates is highly
competitive.  Among the Company's competitors are companies which have
substantially greater capital, marketing and other resources than those
available to the Company.  The Company experiences competition from national,
regional, and local  providers of similar services.  The Company's strategy is
to create a competitive advantage by developing market dominance as the low
cost, high quality provider.  The Company has experienced gross margin pressure
in its markets as the health care market continues





                                       5
<PAGE>   6

to develop lower cost alternatives.  The Company believes that its strategy of
consolidation and systems development will allow it to compete effectively in
this environment.

         Regulation.  As with all health care businesses, the Company is
subject to extensive Federal, state and local regulation.  The Company's
pharmacy operations are regulated by Federal and state laws governing the
distribution, sale, repackaging and dispensing of drugs and devices, and
certain of the Company's employees are subject to state laws and regulations
governing the professional practice of pharmacy.

         As a provider of goods and services under the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, the Company is subject to all laws, rules and regulations concerning
the requirements for participation in these programs, including quality
assurance standards, "anti-kickback" legislation, and other statutes and
regulations designed to prevent fraud and abuse.

         Failure to abide by applicable laws governing its business could
subject the Company to civil monetary penalties, exclusion from the Medicare
and Medicaid programs, criminal penalties and cancellation of licenses and
permits; such adverse action could have a material adverse affect on the
Company.

         Health care is an area of extensive and dynamic regulatory change.
Changes in laws or regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws or
regulations, could have a dramatic effect on permissible activities, the
relative costs associated with doing business, and the amount and availability
of reimbursement by government and third-party payors.  There can be no
assurance that new regulations which could adversely affect the Company's
business will not be imposed by Federal, state or local governments, or that
changing conditions will not affect the Company's ability to comply with
regulations in the markets in which it wishes to commence, or presently
conducts, business.

         Employees.  As of March 18, 1996, the Company had approximately 502
full-time employees and approximately 184 part-time employees.  Of the
Company's full-time employees, 108 are licensed pharmacists.  Management
believes the Company's relationship with its employees is good.  None of the
Company's employees are represented by labor unions under any collective
bargaining agreement.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors
And Stockholders of Capstone
Pharmacy Services, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capstone
Pharmacy Services, Inc. (a Delaware corporation and formerly Choice Drug
Systems, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and February 28, 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the ten months ended December 31, 1995, and the years
ended February 28, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Capstone Pharmacy Services,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and February 28, 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the ten months ended
December 31, 1995, and the years ended February 28, 1995 and 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization and Business

         Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc. (formerly known as Choice Drug
         Systems, Inc.) together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), a
         Delaware corporation, is principally engaged in the business of
         providing pharmaceuticals and related services to long-term care
         facilities, correctional institutions, hospitals and health
         maintenance organizations.  The Company's long-term care and health
         maintenance organization customers are primarily located in New York,
         New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware, while the Company's
         hospital and correctional facility customers are located throughout
         the United States.

         On August 28, 1995, the Company changed its state of incorporation
         from New York to Delaware.  Effective October 2, 1995, the Company
         changed its name from Choice Drug Systems, Inc. to Capstone Pharmacy
         Services, Inc.  Additionally, effective December 31, 1995, the Company
         changed its year-end from February 28 to December 31.

         As of December 31, 1995, Counsel Corporation, an Ontario corporation
         ("Counsel"), owned approximately 3,908,000 shares of the Company's
         common stock together with warrants to purchase approximately
         2,337,000 additional shares.  Counsel is a management and business
         development company operating primarily in the United States health
         care industry (See Note 5).

         Principles of Consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capstone
         Pharmacy Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All
         material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

         Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains and losses during the
         reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

         Reclassifications

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
         current period presentation.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
         with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
         method) or market.  Inventories consist principally of purchased
         pharmaceuticals.

         Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
                                        
         Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost.
         Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line
         method over the following estimated useful lives or with respect to
         leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease if shorter.

<TABLE>
             <S>                                                <C>      <C>
             Furniture, fixtures and equipment  . . . . . . .   3-10     years
             Automobiles and trucks . . . . . . . . . . . . .   3-4      years
             Leasehold improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . .   5-10     years
             Equipment under capital leases . . . . . . . . .   3-5      years
</TABLE>

         Equipment and leasehold improvements obtained in acquisitions of
         subsidiaries are depreciated or amortized based on their remaining
         useful lives at the acquisition date.

         Goodwill

         Costs in excess of fair values of businesses acquired are recorded as
         goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over periods of
         twenty to forty years.  Amortization of goodwill amounted to
         approximately $460,000, $384,000 and $408,000 for the ten months ended
         December 31, 1995 and the years ended February 28, 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.

         The Company monitors the individual financial performance of each of
         the acquired businesses and continually evaluates the realizability of
         goodwill and the potential for any impairment to its recoverability
         based on the projected future net income of the respective acquired
         businesses.

         401(K) Benefit Plan
                       
         Effective May 22, 1995, employees of the Company may participate in a
         supplemental retirement program established under Section 401(K) of
         the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Contributions by the
         Company may be made to the plan subject to the discretion of the Board
         of Directors.  No Company contribution was made for the ten months
         ended December 31, 1995.

         Revenue Recognition

         Revenues are recorded as products are shipped and services are
         rendered.  A portion of the Company's sales are covered by various
         state and Federal reimbursement programs, which are subject to review
         and/or audit.  Reimbursement programs are also subject to change from
         time to time.

         Income Taxes

         The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return.  Income
         tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes.
         Effective March 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
         Under this Statement, deferred taxes on income are provided for those
         items for which the reporting period and methods used for income tax
         purposes differ from those used for financial statement purposes,
         using the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are
         recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by
         applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to
         differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the
         tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.  The impact of initially
         adopting SFAS No. 109 for the year ended February 28, 1994 was $0.

         Earnings Per Share

         Net loss per common share for the years ended February 28, 1995 and
         1994, was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding.  For the ten months ended
         December 31, 1995, primary and fully diluted earnings per common share
         were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
         shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.  The
         amount of common stock equivalents outstanding was computed using the
         treasury stock method.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

         In May 1995, the Company acquired Premier Pharmacy, Inc. ("Premier"),
         an institutional pharmacy, for a purchase price of $4,250,000 in cash.
         Premier's operations generate annualized revenues of approximately
         $24,000,000, primarily from pharmacy services provided to long-term
         care facilities located in the New York metropolitan area and
         hospitals located in the southeastern United States.

         The Premier acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
         method of accounting with the assets and liabilities of Premier
         recorded at their estimated fair market values at the date of
         acquisition.  The operations of Premier, since the acquisition, are
         included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for
         the ten months ended December 31, 1995.  Goodwill of approximately
         $9,350,000, representing the excess of acquisition costs over the
         fair market value of acquired net assets, is being amortized over
         forty years.

         The following proforma information reflects the combined results of
         operations of the Company as if the acquisition of Premier was
         consummated on March 1, 1994:

         operating results that would have occurred had the Premier acquisition
         been consummated on March 1, 1994, nor are they necessarily indicative
         of future results.

         The Company's agreement with Creditanstalt requires that the Company
         provide certain information and maintain certain financial ratios and
         minimum net worth and earnings levels.  The average interest rate on
         amounts outstanding under this agreement was 8.75%.  A letter of
         credit fee of 1.25% is paid on a monthly basis.  Amounts available to
         be borrowed under this agreement are based upon levels of accounts
         receivable and inventories. The Company had unused credit available
         under this agreement as of December 31, 1995 of $7,450,000.

         On November 1, 1995, the Company elected not to make a scheduled
         installment payment on a note payable to former stockholders of a
         Premier subsidiary in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,
         due to a dispute with these former stockholders.  This amount is
         recorded as current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying
         consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995.

         On October 31, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with the
         United States Government settling an investigation conducted by the
         U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania into claims for
         reimbursement made by certain of the Company's subsidiaries to the
         Medicare Program.  The subject of the investigation was the Company's
         claims documentation and Medicare reimbursement practices for December
         1993 and prior. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting
         any liability, the Company has agreed to repay, as a return of revenue
         previously received, over a six-year period, $3,400,000 to settle the
         Government's claims.  Initially,  $100,000 was paid upon the execution
         of the agreement and $400,000 was paid on December 31, 1994.
         Thereafter, $2,900,000

         plus interest at an annual rate of 7.75% is payable in quarterly
         installments over a six-year period ending January 1, 2001.  The full
         amount of the settlement, including related legal fees, is included in
         costs in connection with litigation in the accompanying consolidated
         statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 1995.

         Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the
         fair value of long-term debt, exclusive of capital lease obligations,
         as of December 31, 1995, is approximately $5,942,000.

5.       PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

         On December 16, 1994, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
         Agreement with Counsel.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement,
         Counsel acquired 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for
         net proceeds of approximately $7,191,000.  Counsel was also granted
         two three-year warrants, the first of which grants Counsel the right
         to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
         the exercise price of $4.50 per share, and the second of which grants
         Counsel the right to acquire up to 800,000 shares of the Company's
         common stock at the exercise price of $5.50 per share.

         On May 22, 1995, the Company completed a private placement of
         1,600,000 units (the "Units").  Each Unit consisted of one share of
         common stock, a three-year warrant to acquire 0.5 shares of common
         stock at the exercise price of $4.50 per share, and a three-year
         warrant to acquire 0.4 shares of common stock at the exercise price of
         $5.50 per share. The offering of Units raised proceeds of
         approximately $5,759,000, net of related costs,  at a price of $3.65
         per Unit.  The proceeds of the private placement were used to fund the
         acquisition of Premier and to retire the debt to a major vendor in the
         amount of approximately $1,776,000, resulting in a gain on the
         discount of debt of approximately $283,000.  The gain on the discount
         of debt is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of
         operations for the ten months ended December 31, 1995 as an
         extraordinary item.

         On August 29, 1995, the Company completed a second private placement
         of its common stock.  This offering consisted of 3,500,000 shares at a
         price of $4.38 per share.  The net proceeds of this private placement
         were approximately $15,061,000, net of related costs including
         placement commissions.  There were no warrants issued in connection
         with this second private placement.  The proceeds of this private
         placement were used to retire outstanding debt of $9,650,000 due to
         Creditanstalt and for general working capital purposes.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

         The Company has granted certain registration rights with respect to
         the common stock issued under these private placements and the common
         stock underlying the related warrants.

6.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

         In February 1995, the Company adopted a formal plan of restructuring
         in order to realign and consolidate businesses, concentrate resources,
         and better position itself to achieve its strategic growth objectives.
         This plan included the termination and sale of the medical/surgical
         supply operations of a wholly owned subsidiary, B.T. Smith, Inc., and
         the closing of the Company's long-term care pharmacy operation in
         Missouri, Choice Drug Systems of Missouri, Inc., on June 30, 1995.

         Prior to the closing and ultimate sale of its medical/surgical supply
         operations, the Company consolidated the medical/surgical supply
         operation of B.T. Smith, Inc. with the medical/surgical supply division
         of J&J Drug & Medical Service, Inc. in its Baltimore, Maryland pharmacy
         location. Accounting and administration functions previously based at
         the Inwood, New York and Teaneck, New Jersey pharmacy locations were
         also consolidated and moved to the Baltimore office location. The
         effect of this consolidation was to refocus the Inwood and Teaneck
         pharmacies on the core long-term care business; to consolidate the
         Company's medical/surgical supply business in one location in
         anticipation of its sale; and to consolidate accounting functions at
         the Company's Baltimore headquarters location. The Company initiated
         these actions to streamline and reduce the cost of operating its
         medical/surgical supply business and its accounting function and to
         exit the unprofitable Missouri long-term care market.

         The Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,069,432 for the year
         ended February 28, 1995, which includes the write-down of accounts
         receivable, inventories and fixed assets to net realizable value and
         the accrual for the termination of leases, employee severance costs,
         and the estimated administrative costs of terminating operations. Also
         included in the restructuring costs are amounts due to former
         executives of the Company under severance agreements which expire in
         May 1997 and other long-term contractual obligations related to the
         restructured business. The severance agreements provide, among other
         terms, that the Company may request the former executives to
         provide certain limited consulting services. Management does not
         intend to request, nor has it requested, any such consulting services
         during the term of the severance agreements. During the ten months
         ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded, as a change in
         estimate, an additional $100,000 write-down of accounts receivable for
         the medical/surgical supply operations. The net sales and (loss)
         income from continuing operations of the medical/surgical supply
         operations and the Missouri location follow:

7.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         In February 1995, in connection with adoption of its formal
         restructuring plan, the Company decided to discontinue the operations
         of its mail order and  computerized health care software businesses.
         The mail order business was closed effective August 1, 1995 and the
         assets of the computerized health care software business were sold to
         an unrelated party on June 30, 1995 for $700,000, which resulted in a
         gain in the amount of $564,844, net of related income taxes of
         $38,000.

         The net gains or losses of these operations for the ten months ended
         December 31, 1995 and the year ended February 28, 1995 and 1994 are
         included in the consolidated statements of operations under gain
         (loss) from operations of discontinued business segments.  The loss on
         disposal of $503,067 reflected on the consolidated statement of
         operations for the year ended February 28, 1995, includes the
         write-down of the assets of the mail order and computer software
         businesses to estimated net realizable value and the estimated costs
         of disposing of these operations, including a pro-rata share of the
         Company's expense for office space in Baltimore.

         The Company had net sales from discontinued operations of
         approximately $909,000, $2,731,000 and $3,123,000 for the ten months
         ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended February 28, 1995 and
         1994, respectively.

         Net assets of discontinued operations have been included in the
         accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 1995, and
         consist of the following:

</TABLE>

         For the ten months ended December 31, 1995, the Federal benefit for
         income taxes is primarily due to the carryback of a prior year taxable
         loss to prior periods and represents a change in estimate of the
         amount refundable upon final preparation of the return.

         The actual income tax benefit for the ten months ended December 31,
         1995 and for the fiscal years ended February 28, 1995 and 1994 is
         different from the amounts computed by applying the statutory Federal
         income tax rates to losses from continuing operations before income
         taxes.  The reconciliation of these differences, follow:

         In connection with the settlement of a class action law suit filed in
         June 1993, the parties have agreed to accept in full settlement
         $600,000 in common stock to be issued by the Company and $650,000 in
         cash, which was previously paid by the Company's directors and
         officers liability insurance carrier.  The common stock is issuable
         upon final approval of an escrow agreement and the number of shares to
         be issued will be based upon a specified formula, which will result in
         the issuance of approximately 98,500 common shares.  The Company's
         portion of the proposed settlement ($600,000), is included in costs in
         connection with litigation in the accompanying consolidated statement
         of operations, for the year ended February 28, 1995.

10.      CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is subject to various claims and litigation in the
         ordinary course of its business.  In the opinion of management and
         outside counsel, settlement of these claims and litigation will not
         have a material adverse effect on the financial position or future
         operating results of the Company.

11.      STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         Common Stock Authorized
         On August 28, 1995, the Company's stockholders approved an increase in
         the authorized common stock of the Company from 15,000,000 shares to
         30,000,000 shares.

         Stock Option Plans
         The Company has eight stock option plans and an employee stock
         purchase plan covering up to 2,655,000 shares of the Company's common
         stock, pursuant to which officers, directors and employees of the
         Company are eligible to receive either incentive or non-qualified
         options.  Stock options generally expire five or ten years from the
         date of grant.  The exercise price of an incentive stock option is
         equal to the fair market value of the Company's common shares on the
         date such option was granted.  The exercise price of non-qualified
         stock options may be less than the fair market value on the date of
         grant.

    Warrants

    In August 1995, the Company's Board of Directors extended the expiration
    date of certain outstanding redeemable warrants issued as part of the
    Company's initial public offering (the "IPO Warrants") to March 31, 1996.
    Subsequent to year-end, the expiration date of the IPO Warrants was
    extended further to June 30, 1996.  The exercise price of the 650,000 IPO
    Warrants is $6.00 per share.  The expiration date of the 650,000 Class B
    Warrants (which are exercisable at $10.00 per share) to be issued upon
    exercise of the IPO Warrants was also extended subsequent to year-end to
    June 30, 1997.  The other terms of the IPO Warrants remain the same.

    In connection with the private placements discussed in Note 5, the Company
    issued warrants to purchase 3,240,000 shares of stock at prices ranging
    from $4.50 to $5.50 per share.  These warrants expire through May 1998.

    Total warrants for 3,990,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 1995,
    including the IPO Warrants, warrants issued in connection with private
    placements and 100,000 warrants issued in connection with prior
    acquisitions, at exercise prices ranging from $4.50 to $5.50 per share.  
    No warrants were exercised during the year.

12.      MAJOR VENDOR

         The Company utilizes a primary supplier arrangement for its purchases
         of pharmaceuticals.  In light of the financial and operating
         significance of purchases, the Company routinely monitors the
         performance of its primary supplier and negotiates settlements and
         future service levels based thereon.  Anticipated settlement amounts
         are recorded based upon management's estimates.  The Company changed
         its primary supplier in December 1995.  Purchases of inventory under
         the primary supplier relationships during the ten months ended
         December 31, 1995 and the years ended February 28, 1995 and 1994, were
         approximately 87%, 55% and 57%, respectively, of the Company's total
         inventory purchases.

14.      NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
         No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
         Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of".  This Statement requires that
         long-lived assets and certain intangibles be reviewed for impairment
         under certain circumstances, and that an impairment loss be recorded
         if the sum of expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
         amount of the assets.  The amount of any impairment loss is based on
         the fair market value of the assets.  The Statement also requires that
         long-lived assets and intangibles to be disposed of be recorded at
         the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to sell.  The Company will
         be required to adopt this standard for the year ending December 31,
         1996.

         In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
         No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  This Statement
         encourages

         companies to record compensation costs for stock options granted to
         employees on the date of grant based on the fair value of these
         options.  Alternatively, it allows companies to continue to measure
         compensation based on the difference between the option exercise price
         and the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.
         Companies electing to continue with this method must provide proforma
         disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value
         based method of accounting was used.  The Company will be required to
         adopt this standard for the year ending December 31, 1996.

         The impact, if any, that the adoption of these standards will have on
         the Company's financial statements is not presently determinable.

15.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         During January 1996, Creditanstalt agreed to amend the existing line
         of credit to provide for an increase in borrowings available under the
         line of credit to $15,000,000 and to add a term loan facility in the
         amount of $10,000,000.  Availability under the line of credit and the
         term loan will be increased to $21,000,000 and $14,000,000,
         respectively, in the event the Company raises at least $7,500,000 of
         additional common equity.  Borrowings under the amended line of credit
         and term loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
         Company, bear interest at  rates of either prime plus .25% or LIBOR
         plus 1.25% and are subject to other restrictions and loan covenants,
         all as defined by the underlying agreements.

         On January 3, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
         Merger with Geri-Care Systems, Inc. and Scripts & Things, Inc.
         (Geri-Care), by which the Company acquired the operations of
         Geri-Care.  The purchase price was approximately $6,400,000, payable
         $1,350,000 in cash and promissory notes, and the remainder in common
         stock of the Company.  The agreement also includes an additional
         contingent incentive payment of $1,500,000 as compensation for certain
         new business to be generated through 1998 by the selling shareholders
         of Geri-Care.  The Company has made advances to Geri-Care under the
         terms of the Agreement of approximately $2,243,000.

         Geri-Care is a privately held provider of pharmacy services to nursing
         homes in the New York metropolitan area and generates annualized
         revenues of approximately $7,000,000.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


         On February 29, 1996, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
         Agreement with IMD Corporation (IMD) by which the Company acquired the
         operations of IMD.  The purchase price was approximately $15,500,000
         in cash.

         IMD is a privately held institutional pharmacy business in the State
         of Illinois and has annualized revenues of approximately $18,000,000.

         The Company has paid fees totaling $570,000 to a company affiliated
         with a member of the Board of Directors for certain services rendered
         in connection with the Geri-Care and IMD acquisitions.

16.1     SUBSEQUENT EVENT -- PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 
         In April 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 1,035,000 
         shares of common stock.  The private placement generated proceeds of 
         approximately $8,400,000, net of related costs.

17.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT -- PENDING ACQUISITION

         On June 20, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to 
         acquire Symphony Pharmacy Services, Inc. (Symphony), an institutional 
         pharmacy provider, from Integrated Health Services, Inc. (IHS).  The 
         Symphony purchase price will be comprised of $125,000,000 in cash and 
         $25,000,000 in common stock issued to IHS.  The Company intends to 
         finance the cash portion of the Symphony acquisition with a
         $25,000,000 investment by Counsel and a $100,000,000 bridge loan.  
         Management expects that the Symphony acquisition will almost double
         the number of beds served by the Company, the number of Company
         employees and the Company's net sales.  There can be no assurance
         that Symphony will be integrated sucessfully into the Company's
         operations.  
                        
         In conjunction with the Symphony acquisition, the Company is currently 
         contemplating a secondary offering of approximately 9,000,000 shares 
         of common stock at an assumed offering price of $12.50 per share.  The 
         secondary offering is expected to generate net proceeds of 
         approximately $106,000,000 which will be used to refund the bridge 
         loan and certain other long-term indebtedness.
