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

GENERAL

Sierra Tucson Companies, Inc. (the "Company") conducts its operations through
separate operating divisions and wholly owned subsidiaries.  A subsidiary,
Sierra Tucson, Inc.,operates an inpatient program business specializing in
treating substance abuse and a broad range of mental health disorders,
including eating disorders.  Onsite Training and Consulting, Inc., a subsidiary
acquired in January 1995, offers short-term therapeutic workshops.  Each line of
business offers safe, expertly staffed treatment experiences.  Each
integrates philosophies and methodologies from psychological, family systems
and self-help approaches into comprehensive and effective treatment
experiences.  Each emphasizes a non-judgmental, non-blaming approach to the
healing process which encourages patients and clients to recognize and break
through their denial in an atmosphere conducive to long-term recovery.

Sierra Tucson, Inc. and its patients continue to experience significant pressure
from third party payors and managed care organizations to restrict access to and
payment for treatment services offered.  The Company expects this trend to
continue throughout 1995.  The results of the first quarter do reflect, however,
a positive trend to attract and retain a higher percentage of cash paying
customers.  In the first quarter of 1995 approximately 62% of patient revenue
was derived from individual patient payments, while only 38% of patient revenue
was derived from insurance companies and other third party payors.

Onsite Training and Consulting, Inc. ("Onsite") offers short-term, intensive,
experienced-based programs designed to provide a range of services including
professional development, life-enhancing workshops, and family issues treatment.
Onsite receives all of its revenues directly from its participants and not from
third party payors.  The Company's existing Quality of Life WorkshopsTM were
incorporated into the Onsite menu of programs during the first quarter of 1995.

As announced on April 25, 1995, the Company is establishing a new line of
business which will provide a unique life enhancing experience combining
elements of stress management, self discovery and recreational choices offered
in a leisure destination environment.  This new line of business is expected to
open during the fourth quarter of 1995. It is unknown at this time what specific
financial impact this new line of business will have on the Company's results
for the year ended December 31, 1995 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

The significant changes in financial results for the three months ended March
31, 1995, as compared to the corresponding quarter of 1994 are as follows:

- - - - - -    Average daily census increased by 7 or 15%.
- - - - - -    Total revenue increased by $1,122,991 or 40%.
- - - - - -    Total operating expenses increased by $211,029 or 5%.
- - - - - -    Salaries and related benefits decreased by $145,234 or 7%.
- - - - - -    General and administrative costs increased by $294,004 or 17%.
- - - - - -    The net loss decreased by $394,658 or 49%.

Total revenue increased 40% in the first quarter of 1995 to $3.9 million, up
$1.1 million over the first quarter of 1994.  Approximately 46% of the revenue
increase was due to a 15% increase in patient census levels.  Activity related
to the recent Onsite acquisition accounted for approximately 28% of the revenue
increase.  The remaining increase was primarily due to the combination of higher
investment yields, resulting in an increase in investment income of $134,144,
and a negotiated settlement of disputed receivables which resulted in excess
collections of $233,282.  The excess collections relates to reimbursement of
collection costs for settling the disputed accounts.  

Salaries and related benefits have declined as a percentage of total revenues as
a result of the management of professional staffing levels in response to
changing census levels.  Salaries and related benefits were approximately 50% of
total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, as compared to
75% for the comparable period of 1994.

General and administrative expenses have continued to decline as a percentage of
total revenues as a result of the Company's cost control programs.  General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 50%
for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 60% for the
comparable period of 1994.  Most of the $294,004 increase in general and
administrative expenses is attributed to normal operating expenses incurred by
Onsite, which was acquired in January, 1995.

Depreciation and amortization increased $38,326, or 11%, as a result of the
Onsite acquisition in the first quarter of 1995 and the acquisition of computer
equipment and software in the second half of 1994.

The loss before taxes decreased $911,962 from the corresponding quarter in 1994
to $408,775, and the net loss decreased from the corresponding quarter in 1994
by $394,658 or 49%.


LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to preserve its capital resources and liquidity position.
On March 31, 1995, the Company had a working capital ratio of 10.8:1 and working
capital of $16.7 million. The total cash and investments balance (including
short and long term investments) is $21,742,373 at March 31, 1995.  This
represents an increase of $1,201,732 (6%) over the amount at December 31, 1994. 
Cash flows provided by  operations was $1,291,866 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to ($5,563,848) used in operations in the first
quarter of 1994, which included the $5.5 million to fund the class action
settlement. 
<PAGE> 7

On April 25, 1995, the Company announced plans for an initial $5.5 million
capital expenditure commitment for the establishment of a new wellness and life
enhancement line of business.  While the Company anticipates additional
significant and as yet undetermined pre-opening costs in connection with the
establishment of the new line of business, it is expected that available cash
and investments will be sufficient to meet the Company's existing normal
operating requirements as well as research and development, pre-opening costs,
and capital expenditures related to the establishment of this and other new
lines of businesses over the near term.
