==========
In June 1995, the Company exchanged 100% of the common stock of a
subsidiary, the sole asset of which was an interest in gold ore (which was
previously acquired for common stock of the Company with a value of $5,000,000)
for 6,000,000 shares of common stock of Accord Futronics Corp. (Accord),
approximately 30% of the outstanding common stock of Accord, and the right to
receive from Accord a royalty of 12.5% of net production income from processing
the ore. No gain or loss was recognized on the exchange.
On November 15, 1997, the Company returned the 6,000,000 shares of common
stock to Accord in exchange for 100% of the common stock of the subsidiary.

7. NOTE PAYABLE - BANK
On September 30, 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a
bank for a line of credit of $200,000 and a term loan of $400,000. The term loan
was payable in equal monthly installments of $22,222, plus interest at 1% above
the prime rate, per annum, through March 31, 1998. The term loan and line of
credit loan were collateralized by the accounts receivable, fixed assets, etc.
of the New York City physical therapy care centers.
On September 10, 1997, the line of credit and term loans were paid-off
(Note 8).
8. NOTES PAYABLE - OTHER
In August 1997 the Company borrowed $225,000 from a financial consulting
company (Note 4). In October 1997 the financial consultant exercised options to
acquire 56,250 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate cost of $150,000, which
was offset against the notes payable. In November 1997, the Company paid the
balance of the obligation in the amount of $80,967, including interest.
Financing Arrangement
In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all
existing and future patient care receivables for a period of two years. Under
the agreement, the purchaser will advance 75% of under 180 day, eligible
receivables, as defined. Upon each sale, the Company will pay a discount equal
to prime plus 5%, per annum and, at the initial closing, paid an origination fee
of $17,457. The Company and the President of the Company have each guaranteed
the collection of these receivables.
On September 10, 1997, the Company closed on the initial sale of accepted
receivables of $775,867 and used proceeds of $547,304 to pay off the notes
payable - bank (Note 7).
<PAGE>
9. CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In August 1997, the Company sold the equipment acquired on July 16, 1997
for $171,335 and leased back the equipment for a period of five years, requiring
equal monthly payments of $4,215. (Note 3)
Obligations under the capitalized leases and the related assets were
recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease obligations or
the fair market value of the assets.
10. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between
consolidated financial statement and income tax reporting, resulting primarily
from the use of the cash basis method for income tax purposes and net operating
loss carryforwards.
As of November 30, 1997, realization of the Company's deferred tax assets
of $965,000 resulting from the net operating loss carryforwards and temporary
differences, is considered unlikely and, accordingly, a valuation allowance of
$965,000 has been established.
As of November 30, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $2,800,000 to reduce future Federal taxable income, expiring
through May 31, 2013. As a result of a prior change in control in ownership of
the Company, utilization of approximately $225,000 of these net operating loss
carryforwards, expiring through May 31, 2006, are limited to approximately
$26,000, per year.
<PAGE>
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment Agreement
The Company was committed under an employment agreement, as amended July
1997, to its chief operating officer through September 30, 1999, requiring: (1)
an annual salary of $260,000; (2) deferred compensation for the year ended May
31, 1997 of either $100,000 or 50,000 shares of common stock; (3) bonuses, as
defined, up to $30,000, per quarter; (4) options to purchase 350,000 shares of
common stock, exercisable at $1, per share, through October 1, 1998; (5) a loan
of $350,000, payable three years from the date of the loan, in cash or shares of
common stock, at $1, per share, with interest at 7%, per annum, payable
quarterly; and (6) severance equal to 200% and 100% of annual salary if
termination, as defined, during the twelve months ended September 30, 1998 or
1999, respectively. The loan was to be collateralized by the 50,000 shares of
common stock received and the option or shares acquired under the option.
On February 5, 1998, the Chief Operating Officer resigned his position and
entered into a settlement agreement with the Company. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company assigned its rights in a hospital service contract to the
former Chief Operating Officer, paid cash of $60,000, and assumed other
obligations totaling approximately $40,000. In exchange, the Company was
released of all obligations to the former Chief Operating Officer under any
agreements then in effect, including the employment agreement and the
cancellation of all stock options.
Litigation
In January 1998, the Company and a former consultant settled a matter
requiring the Company to issue 22,000 (and, if a certain stock value is not met,
an additional 2,500) shares of common stock and pay $3,000 in cash. As of May
31, 1997, the Company accrued $75,000, the estimated settlement and legal fees.
In August 1997, the wife of a former chairman of the board of the Company
commenced an action, as a stockholder, against the Company alleging unreasonable
restraint on the transferability of certain shares of common stock of the
Company and for breach of fiduciary duty on the part of the Company's chairman
and is seeking unspecified damages and relief. Management, upon advice of
counsel, believes the matter is without merit and will result in no material
effect on the Company.
In October 1997, an action was commenced against the Company, certain
current and former directors, officers and consultants alleging, among other
things, breach of fiduciary duties and seeks, among other things, the rescission
of the issuance of certain shares of common stock and related options to acquire
shares of common stock. Management does not believe this action will have any
material adverse effect on the Company.
Insurance
Upon the sales of the Company's physical therapy care centers in Florida
(February and April 1997), the Company has self-insured for medical malpractice
liabilities, if any, which may still arise from the Florida operations. The
Company has not been notified of any claims for malpractice and the Company is
unable to determine the effect, if any, of its self-insurance.
<PAGE>
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
On December 3, 1996, the Company granted an option to purchase 375,000
shares of common stock to an employee who was a relative of the chairman of the
board of directors. The option is exercisable at $1.69, per share, through
December 2006. Subject to such employee's continuing employment with the
Company, the options were to become exercisable upon the earlier of : (1) the
Company meeting certain revenue and/or earnings criteria or (2) five years.
In August 1997, the above employee's employment was terminated and the
Company entered into a consulting agreement for a period of two years at a fee
of $150,000, per year, plus 125,000 shares of common stock, issuable 25,000
shares immediately and 5,000 shares, per month, as long as the consultant has
not been terminated, as defined.
In addition, the option agreement to purchase 375,000 shares of common
stock has been amended to provide for immediate exercisability and an extension
until August 2007.
13. CONCENTRATION OF CASH
From time to time, the Company had cash in financial institutions in excess
of insured limits. In assessing its risk, the Company's policy is to maintain
funds only with reputable financial institutions.
14. RECLASSIFICATION
Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 1997
classifications.

months ended November 30, 1997 (the "Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter") compared with the
three months ended November 30, 1996 (the "Fiscal 1997 2nd Quarter"). This
reduction in revenue was attributable to the disposition in Fiscal 1997 of the
Company's North Florida facilities, as well as a fall off in revenues at the
Company's New York City facilities during the Fiscal 1998 periods.
Total expenses were $2,196,927 or 188% of revenues for the Fiscal 1998 Six
Month Period, compared with total expenses of $1,492,232 or 66.6% of revenues
for the Fiscal 1997 Six Month Period. Total expenses were $1,327,069 or 189% of
revenues for the Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter, compared with total expenses of
$732,581 or 59.2% of revenues for the Fiscal 1997 2nd Quarter. Costs of patient
services as a percentage of patient revenues increased to 86.4% and 81.9% for
the Fiscal 1998 Six Month Period and Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter compared to 32.6%
and 28.6% for the Fiscal 1997 Six Month Period and Fiscal 1997 2nd Quarter.
These increases were due to the reduction in revenues attributable to the
disposition in Fiscal 1997 of the Company's North Florida facilities and the
decline off in revenues at the Company's New York City facilities, as well as
the higher cost of doing business in New York. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by 64.3% to $941,681 from $573,156 for the
Fiscal 1998 Six Month Period compared with the Fiscal 1997 Six Month Period and
increased by 114% to $592,193 from $277,040 for the Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter
compared to the Fiscal 1997 2nd Quarter. The increases in selling, general and
administrative expenses in both the Fiscal 1998 Six Month Period and the Fiscal
1998 2nd Quarter were due to higher operation expenses incurred in the New York
City facilities, increased marketing and consulting expenses, expenses related
to the improvement of the Company's financial controls and accounting system,
and increased legal and, particularly in the Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter, accounting
expenses. The increases in legal and accounting expenses to a significant extent
were attributable to the transactional activities of the Company, the settlement
of certain litigation matters and the preparation of reports filed with the SEC.
Interest expense increased by 42.4% to $116,519 from $81,801 for the Fiscal 1998
Six Month Period compared to the Fiscal 1997 Six Month Period, and by 137% to
$91,663 from $38,729 for the Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter compared to the Fiscal 1997
2nd Quarter. These increases were attributable to increased levels of borrowing
under accounts receivable financing agreements and interest amortization
expenses associated with fixed asset sale-leaseback transactions.
The above factors contributed to a net loss of $1,029,144 for the Fiscal
1998 Six Month Period as compared to net income of $485,724 for the Fiscal 1997
Six Month Period and a net loss of $625,433 for the Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter as
compared to net income of $334,101 for the Fiscal 1997 2nd Quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the past, the Company has funded its capital requirements from operating
cash flow, loans against its accounts receivable, the sale of equity securities
and the issuance of equity securities in exchange for assets acquired and
services rendered. During fiscal year 1997, the Company undertook a number of
actions to consolidate its geographic focus. Together with other actions
undertaken following the close of the fiscal year, the Company hopes that these
actions will enable it to attract new investment capital, which the Company
believes will be necessary to sustain its ongoing operations and to facilitate
<PAGE>
growth. The Company continues to explore opportunities to raise private equity
capital and, in conjunction therewith, to provide credit support for the
Company's operations and potential acquisitions. Although the Company has in the
past been and continues to be in discussions with potential investors, there can
be no assurance that its efforts to raise any substantial amount of private
capital will be successful. Any substantial private equity investment in the
Company will result in voting dilution of the Company's existing stockholders
and could also result in economic dilution. If the Company is unable to obtain
new capital, the Company will be unable to carry out its strategy of growth
through acquisitions, and the long-term ability of the Company to continue its
operations may be in doubt.
Following the Company's acquisition of three New York City based physical
therapy care centers, together with a hospital contract for the provision of
physical therapy services, in October 1996, the Company determined to shift its
geographic focus from North Florida to the New York metropolitan area.
Consistent with this approach, in February 1997, the Company sold substantially
all of the assets and assigned certain liabilities of the physical therapy and
rehabilitation care centers and related medical practices in Jacksonville and
Orange Park, Florida.
Continuing the divestiture of its Florida operations, the Company sold its
remaining North Florida facility located in St. Augustine, Florida in April
1997.
In July 1997, the Company acquired a physical therapy care center in New
York City for a purchase price of $400,000, payable $100,000 in cash, which was
paid at closing, and a note of $300,000 due in 18 quarterly installments of
$18,343, including interest at 8%, per annum, commencing November 1, 1997. The
note is collateralized by all the assets acquired. In addition, the seller, a
physician, has entered into a noncompete agreement for four years. The purchase
price may be reduced by $100,000, if the acquired center does not attain certain
billings.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into: (1) a lease
for the center requiring minimum annual rents of $47,738 increasing to $53,438
through August 2003, plus additional rent for increases in real estate taxes,
operating expenses, etc., (2) a consulting agreement with the seller for a six
month period and then on a month-to-month basis, at $150,000, per annum, and (3)
a consulting agreement with the physical therapy care center administrator, a
relative of the seller, for a six-month period and then on a month-to-month
basis, at of $50,000, per annum.
A significant portion of the revenues of the Company are for services that
are paid by third party payors, including insurance companies and Medicare. As
is typical in the health care industry, the Company receives payment after
services are rendered. Such payment is based, in part, on established cost
reimbursement principles and is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment.
While waiting for payment from third party payors, the Company is required to
fund its expenses from internal and, to the extent available, external financing
sources.
In April 1997, the Company agreed to issue 300,000 shares of Common Stock
to a private investor at a price of $.67 per share. Proceeds of the sale of the
shares have been used for working capital. Also, in April and May 1997, the
Company entered into three agreements for public relations consulting services.
Under the first of these agreements, the Company agreed to issue to a consultant
50,000 shares of Common Stock and options to acquire an additional 200,000
shares at exercise prices of between $2.50 and $4.25. The second agreement
provides for the issuance to a consultant of 75,000 shares of Common Stock and
options to acquire an additional 75,000 shares at exercise prices of between
$4.50 and $5.00. Under the third agreement, the Company agreed to issue to a
consultant 50,000 shares of Common Stock and options to acquire an additional
250,000 shares at prices of between $2.00 and $4.75. Subsequent to May 31, 1997,
options for 110,250 shares, at prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.00 per share,
have been exercised, as follows:
(a) In August 1997 the Company borrowed $225,000 from one of the public
relations consulting companies. In October 1997 the public relations
consulting company exercised options to acquire 56,250 shares of common
<PAGE>
stock for an aggregate cost of $150,000, which was offset against the notes
payable. In November 1997 the Company paid the balance of the obligation in
the amount of $80,967, including interest.
(b) In July 1997 and October 1997 options for 50,000 shares and 4,000
shares of common stock were exercised at prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.00
per share.
On December 3, 1996, the Company granted an option to purchase 375,000
shares of common stock to an employee who was a relative of the chairman of the
board of directors. The option is exercisable at $1.69, per share, through
December 2006. Subject to such employee's continuing employment with the
Company, the options were to become exercisable upon the earlier of: (1) the
Company meeting certain revenue and/or earnings criteria or (2) five years.
In August 1997, the above employee's employment was terminated and the
Company entered into a consulting agreement for a period of two years at a fee
of $150,000, per year, plus 125,000 shares of common stock, issuable 25,000
shares immediately and 5,000 shares, per month, as long as the consultant has
not been terminated, as defined. In addition, the option agreement to purchase
375,000 shares of common stock has been amended to provide for immediate
exercisability and an extension until August 2007.
In August 1997, the Company sold the equipment acquired in connection with
the July 1997 purchase of a physical therapy care center for $171,335 and leased
back the equipment for a period of five years, requiring equal monthly payments
of $4,215.
In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its
existing and future patient care receivables for the next two years. Under the
agreement, the purchaser will advance to the Company 75% of under 180-day,
eligible receivables (as defined). Upon each sale, the Company will pay a
discount equal to prime plus 5% per annum and, at the initial closing, paid an
origination fee of $17,457. The Company and Mr. Henry Dubbin guaranteed the
collection of these receivables. On September 10, 1997, the Company closed on
the first sale of eligible receivables of $774,867 for $547,304.
On January 29, 1998, the Company closed an offshore placement of 1,500,000
shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$3,300,000. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $1,500,000, and
received net proceeds of approximately $1,800,000. The Company has realized net
proceeds of $621,508 on the sale of 539,000 shares of common stock, through
November 30, 1997.
On February 5, 1998, the Chief Operating Officer resigned his position and
entered into a settlement agreement with the Company. Under the terms of this
agreement the Company assigned its rights in a hospital service contract to the
former chief operating officer, paid cash of $60,000, and assumed other
obligations totaling approximately $40,000. In exchange, the Company was
released of all obligations to the former chief operating officer under any
agreements then in effect, including the employment agreement and the
cancellation of all stock options.
<PAGE>
Income tax (benefit) expenses for the Fiscal 1998 and Fiscal 1997 Six Month
Periods were ($340,000) and $261,189, respectively, and for the Fiscal 1998 and
Fiscal 1997 2nd Quarters were (225,000) and $170,000, respectively. For the
Fiscal 1998 Six Month Period and the Fiscal 1998 2nd Quarter ended November 30,
1997, the deferred income tax benefit has been reduced by a corresponding
increase in the allowance for the realization of deferred income tax assets of
$340,000 and $225,000, respectively, because as of November 30, 1997, it is
unlikely that the deferred tax assets will be realized as they relate primarily
to net operating loss carryforwards and the Company may not generate sufficient
future taxable income for their utilization.
