                                  THE COMPANY

     Capstone is a leading institutional pharmacy company that provides
prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals and related services,
including intravenous therapy services and pharmacy consulting services, to
long-term care facilities and correctional facilities. The Company supplies
services to residents of over 200 long-term care facilities containing
approximately 44,000 beds in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and Delaware.  In addition, Capstone provides services
to inmates in over 110 correctional facilities housing over 110,000 inmates
throughout the United States, making Capstone what management believes to be
the largest private provider of pharmaceutical services to inmates in the
United States. Capstone also provides pharmaceuticals and related services to
hospitals and health maintenance organizations ("HMOs").  For the ten months
ended December 31, 1995 the Company's net sales were approximately $48.8
million.

     Capstone's strategy is to be the leading low-cost provider of
pharmaceuticals and related services to residents of long-term care facilities
in major metropolitan areas, with a primary focus on the Baltimore-Boston urban
corridor,  and to inmates in privately operated correctional facilities across
the United States.  In the urban corridor from Baltimore, Maryland to Boston,
Massachusetts, the Company provides pharmaceuticals and services from five
centers, each of which is located within a radius of approximately 150 miles
from each long-term care facility it serves. The Company recently began
servicing the Chicago long-term care market with one pharmacy.  Correctional
facilities are served primarily from one center in Baltimore, Maryland, which
utilizes mail and courier services to deliver pharmaceuticals to institutions
located throughout the United States, generally where either the prison system
or the health care portion of the prison system has been privatized. For the
ten months ended December 31, 1995, the provision of pharmaceuticals and
services to long-term care (including HMOs) and correctional facilities
accounted for approximately 63% and 23%, respectively, of Capstone's net sales.

     Since May 1995, Capstone has acquired PremierPharmacy, Inc. ("Premier"),
Geri-Care Systems, Inc. and Scripts & Things, Inc. (collectively, "Geri-Care"),
and IMD Corporation ("IMD").  The Premier and Geri-Care acquisitions provided
Capstone with contracts to provide pharmaceuticals and related services to
additional long-term care facilities in the New York City metropolitan area.
As a result of the Premier acquisition, Dirk Allison, President of Premier,
joined Capstone as its Chief Executive Officer.  Prior to its acquisition, IMD
was the second largest private institutional pharmacy company in Chicago, the
country's third largest institutional pharmacy market.  Management believes
that its recent acquisitions have positioned Capstone to implement its
operating strategy of serving approximately 10,000 to 20,000 long-term care
beds from each of its pharmacy centers and expanding  its correctional facility
operations across the United States.

     The principal address of Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc. is 2930
Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21230, and its telephone number is
(410) 646-7373.

                              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 are 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.

INDEMNIFICATION

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Article Eleventh of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant
sets forth the extent to which officers or directors of the Registrant may be
insured or indemnified against any liabilities which they may incur.  The
general effect of such provision is that any person made a party to any action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant will be indemnified by the Registrant against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted under the laws
of the State of Delaware.  In addition, such provision provides that, in the
Registrant's sole discretion, the Registrant may indemnify employees or agents
against such expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement.

     SECTION 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") applies to
the Registrant and the relevant portion of the DGCL provides as follows:

     145   INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS;
           INSURANCE.

           (a) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
      is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
      action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
      investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
      corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
      employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
      of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
      corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
      against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
      amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
      connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith
      and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
      best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
      action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
      unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
      order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
      equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person
      did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to
      be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
      respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
      believe that his conduct was unlawful.

           (b) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
      is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
      action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
      in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
      employee or agent of the



                                      II-1
<PAGE>   13


      corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
      director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
      joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
      attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
      with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good
      faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
      the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification
      shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
      person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
      only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such
      action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
      the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
      case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
      expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
      proper.

           (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
      corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
      any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of
      this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
      shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
      actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

           (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this
      section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only
      as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
      indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in
      the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct
      set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section.  Such determination
      shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a
      quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit
      or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
      obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
      legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders.

           (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
      director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
      investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation
      in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
      upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
      officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he
      is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in
      this section.  Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by
      other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions,
      if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

           (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
      granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be
      deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
      indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
      bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or
      otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
      another capacity while holding such office.

           (g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
      insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
      employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
      of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
      corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
      against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
      such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
      corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability
      under this section.

           (h) For purposes of this section, references to "the corporation"
      shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
      corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
      consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
      would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers
      and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director,
      officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was
      serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
      officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
      venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position
      under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation
      as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
      separate existence had continued.

           (i) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises"
      shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include
      any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee
      benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the
      corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer,



                                      II-2
<PAGE>   14


      employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves
      services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to
      an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person
      who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
      the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit
      plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best
      interests of the corporation" as referred to in this section.

           (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
      granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when
      authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
      director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
      the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

     The Registrant maintains insurance for the benefit of the Registrant's
directors and officers and officers and directors of the Registrant's
subsidiaries insuring such persons against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the securities laws.

ITEM 16.     EXHIBITS

     The exhibits filed as a part of this registration statement are listed in
the Exhibit Index immediately following the signature page.


ITEM 17.UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

       (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
  Securities Act of 1933;

       (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
  effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
  post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
  registration statement;

       (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
  distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
  material change to such information in the registration statement.

  Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
  registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
  information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
  paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant
  to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
  incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Report of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant, incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc.

Baltimore, Maryland 21230-1197


Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the
"Company"), in connection with the registration of 6,418,467 shares of its
common stock, $.01 par value per share and 650,000 Series B Warrants, pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-3, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement").  This firm hereby consents
to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and
with agencies of such states and other jurisdictions as may be necessary in the
course of complying with the laws of such states and jurisdictions regarding
the offering and sale of the stock in accordance with the Registration
Statement.  We also consent to the inclusion of our name in the prospectus
under the heading "Legal Matters."

     We have examined originals, or certified or photostatic copies of such
statutes, records, regulations, certificates of the officers of the Company and
of public officials, and such other information as we have deemed necessary for
purposes of rendering this opinion.

     In stating our opinion, we have assumed: (i) that all signatures are
genuine, all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and all
documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic original documents;
and (ii) that the parties to such documents have the legal right and power
under all applicable laws, regulations and agreements to enter into, execute,
deliver and perform their respective obligations thereunder.

     On the basis of such review, but subject to the limitations expressed
herein, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof, that (i) the securities
being registered for primary issuance by the Registration Statement will, when
issued as contemplated under the Registration Statement, be legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) the securities being sold by the
Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Statement) will be (or
were), when issued to them, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Our opinion herein is limited solely to the laws of the United States of
America and the corporate law of the State of Delaware.  In rendering the
opinion set forth herein, we have relied upon the documents referenced above
and have made no independent verification or investigation of factual matters
pertaining thereto or to the Company.


                                       Very truly yours,


                                       /s/ HARWELL HOWARD HYNE
