ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
- ----------------------------------------------

NET  REVENUES.  Net  revenues  increased  approximately  $223,000 or 2% from the
comparable 1998 quarter to approximately $9.2 million for the three months ended
September  30, 1999.  The increase was  primarily the result of increases in the
Company's  institutional  pharmacy  business  mostly  offset by decreases in the
infusion  therapy  revenues  and  decreases  in the sale and  rental of  durable
medical equipment.

GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross profit for the three months ended  September  30, 1999 and
1998  was  approximately  $2.3  and  $3.8  million,  respectively,  representing
approximately  25% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 42% for the comparable prior year period. Gross profit decreased
primarily  due to write off of  unusable  revenue  producing  equipment  and the
Company also experienced revenue growth in the institutional  pharmacy business,
which  generates  lower gross margin as compared to the other lines of business.
Further,  decreased revenues from the durable medical equipment, which generates
the Company's  highest gross margin,  also contributed to the decline in overall
gross  profit.  Moreover,  declines  in margins in the  higher  margin  infusion
therapies  were incurred due to changes in the customer base.  Compounding  this
downward  pressure on reimbursement  rates has been a change in our managed care
patient mix to lower margin  modalities  as a result of the  prolonged,  reduced
availability of intravenous  immune gamma globulin - a higher margin  medication
frequently administered to our patients.

SELLING,   GENERAL   AND   ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSES.   Selling,   general   and
administrative   expenses   were   approximately   $3.7  and  $4.3   million  or
approximately  41% and 48% of net sales for the three months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998,  respectively.  There were  decreases due to the  elimination  of
certain  duplicate   overhead  costs  resulting  from  the  merger  with  Healix
Healthcare,  Inc. on April 9, 1998. Offsetting these decreases were increases in
bad debt  expense  ($400,000).  The  industry in which the  Company  operates is
experiencing  difficulty in  collecting  from  customers who include  hospitals,
HMO's,  and  private  institutions.   There  is  a  growing  number  within  the
aforementioned  customer group who are experiencing  significant lack of working
capital resulting in tremendous payment delays and disputes on billing claims.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  increased  by $171,000  for the three months ended
September  30,  1999,  to  approximately  $563,000.  This  increase  was  due to
increased  net  borrowings  under our  revolving  line of credit and  additional
interest on the $6,250,000,  12%  Subordinated  Debentures due to the receipt of
additional  funds in  August,  1998 and  additional  interest  accrued on unpaid
interest per the terms of the agreement.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  No provision of income taxes has been reflected due
to the Company's federal and state net operating loss credits.

Six Months Ended September 30, 1999
- -----------------------------------

NET  REVENUES.  Net  revenues  increased  approximately  $547,000 or 3% from the
comparable 1998 quarter to approximately  $18.1 million for the six months ended
September  30, 1999.  The increase was  primarily  was  primarily  the result of
increases in the  Company's  institutional  pharmacy  business  mostly offset by
decreases in the infusion  therapy revenues and decreases in the sale and rental
of durable medical equipment.

GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
was   approximately   $5.6  and   $7.3   million,   respectively,   representing
approximately  31% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 41% for the  comparable  prior year period.  Gross profit  decreased
primarily due to the  Company's  growth in sales in the  institutional  pharmacy
business,  which generates a lower gross margin,  continued downward pressure on
its fees within the infusion therapy business,  decreases in the durable medical
equipment  business,  which  generates  high  gross,  margins  and  write off of
unusable revenue  producing  equipment.  Compounding  this downward  pressure on
reimbursement  rates has been a change in our managed  care patient mix to lower
margin  modalities  as a  result  of  the  prolonged,  reduced  availability  of
intravenous  immune  gamma  globulin-  a  higher  margin  dedication  frequently
administered to patients.

SELLING,   GENERAL   AND   ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSES.   Selling,   general   and
administrative   expenses   were   approximately   $6.7  and  $7.3   million  or
approximately  38% and 41% of net sales for the three months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998,  respectively.  There were  decreases due to the  elimination  of
certain  duplicate   overhead  costs  resulting  from  the  merger  with  Healix
Healthcare,  Inc. on April 9, 1998. Offsetting these decreases were increases in
bad debt  expense  ($500,000).  The  industry in which the  Company  operates is
experiencing  difficulty in  collecting  from  customers who include  hospitals,
HMO's  and  private   institutions.   There  is  a  growing  number  within  the
aforementioned customer group who are experiencing a significant lack of working
capital resulting in tremendous payment delays and disputes on billing claims.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expenses  increased by $401,000 for the six months
ended  September  30,  1999,  to  approximately  $1,050,000.  This  increase was
primarily due to increased net borrowings under our revolving line of credit and
additional  interest on the  $6,250,000 12%  Subordinated  Debentures due to the
receipt of  additional  funds in August 1998 and  additional  interest on unpaid
interest per the terms of the agreement.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  No provision of income taxes has been reflected due
to the Company's federal and state net operation loss credits.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

As  of  September  30,  1999,  the  Company  had  negative  working  capital  of
approximately $2,128,000.

The Company's cash provided by financing  activities of approximately $1 million
was primarily  attributable  to the net proceeds of  approximately  $1.4 million
under the Company's  revolving credit facility and term loan offset by principal
payments on capital leases and other notes payable.

Accounts receivable  includes amounts due from third party customers,  primarily
governmental  agencies  (Medicare and  Medicaid).  At September 30, 1999,  gross
Medicare and Medicaid receivables aggregated approximately $5.4 million.

The Company  operates  under cash flow  pressure due to difficulty in collecting
its  accounts  receivable.  As of  March  31,  1999  the  Company  had  accounts
receivable that were "ineligible" to borrow against per the terms of its line of
credit. Considering the amount and the issues of collecting these receivables an
increase to the bad debt expense was established of approximately $3,000,000 for
the estimated loss on these receivables and for eligible  receivables  deemed to
be  uncollectible  as of March 31,  1999.  As of  September  30,  1999 a further
deterioration has occurred with respect to the working capital issues facing our
customers  so  additional  bad debt  expenses  were  recorded.  To  address  the
collection issues, the customer service,  billing and collection  department has
been reorganized into specialized teams.  These teams have  responsibility for a
certain number of accounts  determined by the nature and type of business.  This
will enable our  collectors  to better  service and collect  from our  customers
because they will possess a better  understanding  of the issues that need to be
addressed.   Moreover,   an  increased  effort  and  focus  is  to  collect  the
"ineligible"   receivables  by  conducting   face  to  face  meetings  with  the
appropriate  customer  personnel and  curtailing  services  until the collection
issues are resolved. The collection of the "ineligible" accounts receivable will
provide  immediate cash  availability  to the company by increasing the eligible
portion of accounts receivable available to be used for borrowings from its line
of credit.

 As of September 30, 1999, the Company had borrowed the maximum  allowable under
its revolving loan agreement  ($9,000,000),  overdraft line  ($1,000,000),  term
loan ($725,000) and received an advance on the sale of its building  ($250,000).
The Company has recently entered into a contract for the sale of its offices and
has  rented  new  space  where  it  will  be   consolidating   its   operations.
Approximately $650,000 in net cash proceeds is anticipated from the sales of the
building.  Further discussions with key vendors to convert a portion of accounts
payable into notes are presenting in process.

During fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, management determined that the goodwill
resulting from the acquisition of Pro Heath Care Infusion  Services was impaired
and warranted write-off of the remaining balance. The impairment resulted from a
severe decline in revenue, primarily caused by the filing for liquidation of HIP
of New Jersey in February 1999.
