                            December 31, 1995 



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying interim  consolidated financial statements  for the three  and 
nine months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared pursuant to the 
rules and  regulations  of  the Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in  financial statements 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  have been 
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, the reader of this
Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 1995 for further information. In the opinion of management of  the Company,
the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of  normally recurring accruals)  necessary to present  fairly
the financial position at December 31,  1995 and the results of operations  and
cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

The results of operations for the  nine months ended December 31, 1995  are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Legal Proceedings

The Company currently, and from  time to time, is  subject to claims and  suits
arising in the ordinary  course of its business,  including claims for  damages
for personal injuries.  In the  opinion of management, the ultimate  resolution
of any of these pending claims  and legal proceedings will not have  a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

On January 26, 1994  Franklin Capital Associates and  Aetna Life and  Casualty,
shareholders, who  at one  time held  almost 320,000  shares  of the  Company's
common stock (approximately 13% of shares  outstanding) filed suit in  Chancery
Court of  Williamson  County, Tennessee  claiming  unspecified damages  not  to
exceed three  million  dollars  in connection  with  registration  rights  they
received in the Company's acquisition of National Health Industries in February
1991.  The suit alleges the Company failed to use its best  efforts to register
the shares held by  the plaintiffs as  required by the  merger agreement.   The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and does  not expect
that the ultimate outcome of  the suit will have  a material adverse impact  on
the Company's results of operation or financial position. The Company  plans to
vigorously defend its position in this case.

3. SALE OF ASSETS
                       
On June  3,  1994,  the  Company  entered into  a  strategic  arrangement  with
Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation, under which  Columbia acquired one of  the
Company's two Louisville Certificates  of Need for  nursing services and  hired
the Company to manage the operations under the certificate for five years.   On
February  18,  1995,  the  Company   entered  into  another  arrangement   with
Columbia/HCA  Healthcare  Corporation,  under   which  Columbia  acquired   the
Company's Certificate of Need license to  provide nursing services to  patients
in eight counties in the Elizabethtown, Kentucky area and hired the  Company to
manage the  operations until  the year  2000.   Simultaneously, the  Louisville
agency management agreement was extended for one year.

4. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
   
On October 17, 1995,  the Company expanded its  revolving credit facility  with
the Healthcare Financial  Services Division of Heller Financial, Inc. from $7.5
million to $12 million.  At the same time  the interest rate  was reduced to  1
percent over  prime from  1.5  percent and  advance  rates on  working  capital
collateral were expanded.<PAGE>

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

OVERVIEW

The Company is aggressively pursing a strategy of integrating adult day care 
and home health care services to provide seniors with alternatives to long-
term institutional care.  The Company will be expanding into new geographic 
markets and integrating its services in all its existing markets.

Demand for the Company's alternatives to chronic long-term institutional care is
strong and growing due to the aging of the population, consumer preference for 
non-institutional care, and payor  preference for low-cost solutions.  A 
package of the Company's adult  day  care  and home  health  care  services 
can be provided as a substantially lower-cost alternative  to nursing  home 
care.  Thus the Company has chosen to focus its resources and efforts on the 
expansion of these services.  

The Company's  adult day  care and  comprehensive home  health care  services,  
which currently have  no  overlap  of geographic  service territories,  
continue to  show improving financial results.  For the nine-months ended
December 31,1995, net income per share from on-going operations increased 62% 
over the same period last year.  Comparable revenues increased 14% (adjusted for
the sale of certain operations  last year -- see Note 3).  For the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, net income per  share from on-going operations increased 78% 
over the same  period last year.   Comparable revenues increased  12% (adjusted 
for the sale of certain operations last year).  These results were on a "same 
business" basis with minimal development activity and no geographic  expansion 
taking place during the period.  The improvements in profitability reflect  
improved pricing and increased occupancy in the Company's adult day care centers
and the effect  of incremental  home health  revenues in  existing markets. Net 
earnings per share improved from $0.30 to $0.42 for the nine-months and from 
$0.10 to $0.16 for the quarter.

In October, 1995,  the Company's  revolving credit  facility was  expanded
from $7.5 million to $12 million while the interest rate was lowered 0.5%
to 1.0% over prime. This credit facility and internally generated funds are
expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's development plans.

Comprehensive Home Health Care

Revenues. Net revenues for 1994 included  $663,032 related to operations  sold
during the year ended March 31, 1995.  Contribution continues to  be generated
from  these  operations  under  management  contracts.    Net   revenues  from
continuing markets increased 12%  from $11,608,992 in  1994 to $13,027,202  in
1995 primarily as a result of increased volumes for nursing services.

Cost of Sales and Services.   Cost of sales and services  as a percent of  net
revenues decreased primarily as a result of improved volumes.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Adult Day Care

Net Revenues.    The  increase of  $466,871  in  adult day  care  revenues  is
attributable to the opening of 1  new center, increased occupancy, and a  rate
increase in all  the centers.   Total days of  service provided increased  14%
from 48,237 in 1994 to 54,770 in 1995.   As of December 31, 1995,  the Company
had 13 centers in  operation.  Average  occupancy for the  quarter was 64%  as
compared to 62% in the prior  year.  System capacity  as of December 31,  1995
was 938 guests per day as compared to 854 in the prior year.

Cost of Sales and Services.   As a percentage of  net revenues, cost of  sales
and services decreased by 1.8% as a result of increased occupancy  and reduced
initial operating losses from new centers. The Company's new centers typically
take from 12  to 15  months to  reach break-even.   The  Company's two  newest
centers generated net revenues of $325,074  and break-even results during  the
quarter as compared to $57,244 and a loss of $64,658 in the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative.  The increase of $557,247 in these expenses
is due  primarily  to  increased  billing and  collection  efforts  and overhead
additions in  preparation for  expansion.  These  costs remained  constant  as a
percentage of total owned and managed revenues.

Depreciation and  Amortization.    The decrease  results  primarily from certain
assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Provision for Uncollectible Accounts.   The provision for uncollectible accounts
for the quarter ended December 31,1995 was recorded at approximately 2.7% of net
revenues based on management's evaluation of collectibility.  This percentage is
within the range of industry averages.

Interest.   The decrease  in  Interest is primarily  the result  of  the lower
average outstanding debt levels.<PAGE>

Comprehensive Home Health Care

Revenues. Net revenues for 1994 included $4,516,000 related to operations sold
during the year ended March 31, 1995.  Contribution continues to  be generated
from  these  operations  under  management  contracts.    Net   revenues  from
continuing markets increased 14%  from $32,961,344 in  1994 to $37,697,963  in
1995 primarily as a result of increased volume for nursing services.

Cost of Sales and Services.   Cost of sales and services  as a percent of  net
revenues decreased primarily as a result of improved volumes.
<PAGE>
Adult Day Care

Net Revenues.   The  increase of  $1,669,072  in adult  day care  revenues  is
attributable to the opening of 2 new  centers, and a rate increase in  all the
centers.  Total days of service provided increased 17% from 140,857 in 1994 to
164,546 in 1995.   As  of December 31,  1995, the  Company had  13 centers  in
operation.  Average occupancy for the nine month period and in the  prior year
was 64%.  Average daily capacity increased from 811 guests per day  in 1994 to
936 in 1995.<PAGE>

Cost of Sales and Services.  As a  percent of net revenues, cost of  sales and
services decreased slightly  as a  result of increased  occupancy and  reduced
initial operating  losses  from  new  centers.    The  Company's  new  centers
typically take from 12 to  15 months to reach  break-even.  The Company's  two
newest centers generated  net revenues of  $832,666 and losses  of $77,100  as
compared to $96,112 and losses of $149,160 in the prior year.

Selling, General  and  Administrative.    The  increase  of  $1,290,367 in these
expenses is  due  primarily  to  increased  billing  and  collection efforts and
overhead additions in preparation  for expansion.  These costs remained constant
as a percent of total owned and managed revenues.

Depreciation and  Amortization.    The decrease  results primarily  from certain
assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Provision for Uncollectible Accounts.   The provision for uncollectible accounts
for the nine months ended December 31,1995 was recorded at approximately 2.8% of
net revenues based on management's evaluation of collectibility. This percentage
is within the range of industry averages.

Interest.    The  decrease in  interest  is primarily  the result of  the lower
average outstanding debt levels.

Other.  Other income in 1994 consisted of a $97,500  gain on the sale of certain
operations to Columbia/HCA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows


Key elements  of the  Consolidated Statements  of Cash Flows for the nine-months
ended December 31, were (in thousands):

     Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents         1995           1994
     ---------------------------------------       --------       --------

         Operating activities                      $  3,605       $ (2,017)
         Investing activities                          (704)          (767)
         Financing activities                        (1,840)           277
                                                   --------       --------
         Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents   $  1,061       $   (973)
                                                   ========       ========


1995 net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of approximately $3,605,000
resulted principally from  current period  earnings  and an increase in accounts
payable and accruals, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable. 1995
net  cash  used  by   investing  activities  resulted principally  from  capital
expenditures  while  1994's  net  cash  provided  by  investing activities  came
principally from  the sale of certain  operations.   Net cash used by  financing
activities resulted primarily from net repayments on the revolving credit facil-
ity partially offset by  principal payments on term debt and capital leases, 
net of additional capital leases.

Revolving Credit Facility


On October 17, 1995, the Company expanded its revolving credit facility with the
Healthcare Financial   Services  Division of  Heller Financial,  Inc. from  $7.5
million to $12  million. At the  same time  the interest rate  was reduced  to 1
percent over  prime  from  1.5 percent  and  advance  rates on  working  capital
collateral were expanded.

The facility is collateralized by accounts receivable,inventory and the stock of
the Company's  subsidiaries.  Availability is determined pursuant  to a  formula
principally consisting of 95% of accounts receivable under 180 days old (subject
to certain  exclusions)  plus 50% of inventory.   This  facility, together  with
internally generated funds, should provide capital resources sufficient to 
support development of the business.

On December 31,  1995 the  balance outstanding on the facility was approximately
$4.3 million.

Health Care Reform


Congress is  currently considering  legislative change which  could effect major
changes in  the health  care system.    This legislation would materially change
reimbursement under both the Medicare and Medicaid systems.Some of these changes
include a  prospective  payment  system  for  Medicare home health agencies  and
increased use of  Medicaid ``Block Grants''.  Although the Company believes that
proposed legislation could  increase government's emphasis on home and community
based health care services,it cannot predict whether any of these proposals will
be adopted,  and  if  they are adopted,  no assurance  can  be  given  that  the
implementation of this legislation will not have a material adverse effect on 
the Company's business.


Impact of Inflation


Management does not  believe that inflation  has had a material effect on income
during the past several years.
