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. ("STI"), operates an inpatient program business
specializing in treating substance abuse and a broad range of mental health
disorders, including eating disorders.  Onsite at Sierra Tucson, Inc.
("Onsite"), the Arizona subsidiary formed to succeed Onsite Training and
Consulting, Inc., a Minnesota corporation acquired in January 1995, offers
short-term therapeutic workshops.  Each line of business offers safe, expertly
staffed treatment experiences; integrates philosophies and methodologies from
psychological, family systems and self-help approaches into comprehensive and
effective treatment experiences while emphasizing a nonjudgmental, 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.

As announced in April 1995, the Company is expanding its business to include a
new division called Miraval(TM).  Miraval will be a luxury wellness facility
which educates guests on "life-balancing" techniques.  The Miraval experience
will provide a leisure and educational vacation alternative in a resort-like
setting.  Personal guides will assist guests in choosing and designing their
own personally-tailored programs of stress management, self discovery and
recreational activities.  Miraval is expected to commence operations during the
fourth quarter of 1995.

The following discussion and analysis relates to factors which have affected
the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Reference
should also be made to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this document.

Results of Operations

Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended
June 30, 1994

The significant changes in results of operations and cash flow for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 are
discussed below.  Total operating expenses, the loss before income tax benefit,
the net loss and the net loss per share of common stock exclude approximately
$828,000 in 1995 business expansion costs for purposes of this presentation.

The net loss decreased approximately $212,000 and net cash provided by
operating activities increased approximately $5.9 million for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  The
improvement in the net loss is primarily related to  increased earnings on the
Company's long-term investments and an adjustment to the Company's provision
for bad debts to more accurately reflect the Company's experience.  The
increase in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable
to the Company receiving an income tax refund of approximately $5.9 million in
April 1995.

Total revenue increased approximately $660,000 to approximately $3.8 million
for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in
1994.  The changes in total revenue were primarily attributable to the net
revenue related to Onsite and higher investment income resulting from the
combination of higher investment yields, an increase in the average investment
balance of approximately $5.9 million (related to the cash received from an
income tax refund) and the recognition of a gain resulting from the sale of
certain of the Company's long-term investments.

Excluding approximately $828,000 in 1995 business expansion costs, total
operating expense increased approximately $250,000 to approximately $4.2
million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same
period in 1994.  The significant components of this increase are discussed in
the following two paragraphs.

Although salaries and related benefits increased approximately $50,000 due to
additional staffing required as a result of the Onsite acquisition, they have
declined as a percentage of total revenues primarily as a result of staffing
changes made to correspond to STI's current census levels.  Salaries and
related benefits were approximately 49% of total revenue for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1995 compared to 58% for the comparable period of 1994.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $155,000 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
primarily due to an increase in contract labor, a portion of which is
attributable to Onsite; an increase in professional fees; an increase in
advertising costs


                                       8

<PAGE>   9

resulting from intensified marketing efforts for STI and an increase in
operating supplies, a majority of which are attributable to Onsite.  These
increases were somewhat offset by a decrease in the provision for bad debts to
more accurately reflect the Company's experience and a decrease in consulting
costs.  Although there was an overall increase in these costs, 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
51% for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to 56% for the
comparable period of 1994.

The Company incurred approximately $828,000 in business expansion costs during
the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  These costs are related to the
Company expanding its business to include its new Miraval division.   Miraval
will be a luxury wellness facility which educates guests on "life-balancing"
techniques.  The Miraval experience will provide a leisure and educational
vacation alternative in a resort-like setting.  Personal guides will assist
guests in choosing and designing their own personally- tailored programs of
stress management, self discovery and recreational activities.  Approximately
$432,000 of these expenditures are related to pilot program research and
development activities.  Specific areas of expenditures under the pilot program
include labor related costs,  operating supplies, travel and entertainment,
repairs and maintenance, utilities and legal expenditures.  Subsequent to the
completion of the pilot program research and development activities, the
Company made additional expenditures of approximately $396,000 for the
continued development and promotion of Miraval.  Specific areas of expenditures
include advertising, labor related costs and miscellaneous expenditures.
Additional expenditures will be incurred during the third and fourth quarters
of 1995 but at a significantly higher rate than that which occurred during the
first half of 1995.

Six Month Period Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to the Six Month Period Ended
June 30, 1994

The significant changes in results of operations and cash flows for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period of 1994 are
discussed below.  Total operating expenses, the loss before income tax benefit,
the net loss and the net loss per share of common stock exclude approximately
$828,000 in 1995 business expansion costs for purposes of this presentation.

The net loss decreased approximately $606,000 and net cash provided by
operating activities increased approximately $12.8 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  The
improvement in the net loss is primarily related to a higher census level at
STI and increased


                                       9

<PAGE>   10

earnings on the Company's long-term investments.  The increase in net cash
provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the Company
receiving an income tax refund of approximately $5.9 million in April 1995 and
the payment of a legal settlement of approximately $5.5 million in the first
half of 1994.

Total revenue increased approximately $1,780,000 to approximately $7.7 million
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in
1994.  The changes in total revenue were primarily attributable to the net
revenue related to Onsite; an increase in investment income resulting from the
combination of higher investment yields, an increase in the average investment
balance of approximately $4.0 million and the recognition of a gain resulting
from the sale of certain of the Company's long-term investments; an increase in
miscellaneous income related to a negotiated settlement of disputed receivables
for the reimbursement of collection costs; and an increase in patient revenue
resulting from a higher census level at STI.

Excluding approximately $828,000 in 1995 business expansion costs, total
operating expenses increased approximately $460,000 to approximately $8.6
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same
period in 1994.  The significant components of this increase are discussed in
the following two  paragraphs.

Salaries and related benefits decreased approximately $95,000 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  This decrease
is primarily due to staffing changes made to correspond STI's current census
levels and was somewhat offset by the additional staffing required as a result
of the Onsite acquisition.  Salaries and related benefits were approximately
49% of total revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to
66% for the comparable period of 1994.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $450,000 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
primarily due to an increase in contract labor, a portion of which is
attributable to Onsite; an increase in professional fees; an increase in
advertising costs resulting from intensified marketing efforts for STI and an
increase in operating supplies, a majority of which are attributable to Onsite.
These increases were somewhat offset by a decrease in the provision for bad
debts to more accurately reflect the Company's experience and a decrease in
consulting costs.  Although there was an overall increase in these costs,
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 June 30, 1995 compared to
58% for the comparable period of 1994.

The Company incurred approximately $828,000 in business expansion costs during
the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  See page 8 of this document for a
detailed discussion of these costs.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

The Company's sources of liquidity and capital resources historically have been
net cash provided by operating activities, funds available from the liquidation
of short and long-term investments and proceeds from offerings of equity
securities.  In the past, these sources have been sufficient to meet the needs
and finance the growth of the Company's business.  Net cash provided by
operating activities has been primarily affected by census levels and net
revenue per patient day.  The Company's growth will be dependent upon success
in increasing census levels and net revenue per patient day as well as its
ability in attracting customers for Miraval.

Management continues to concentrate on managing existing cash reserves and the
Company's overall liquidity position.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had a
working capital ratio of 3.9:1 and working capital of $9.8 million and the
Company's total cash and investments (including short and long-term
investments) were approximately $26.7 million.  This represents an increase of
approximately $6.2 million, or 30% when compared to total cash and investments
at December 31, 1994.  This increase is primarily attributable to





                                      10

<PAGE>   11

the receipt of a tax refund of approximately $5.9 million in the second quarter
of 1995.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had a strong liquidity position with
cash and investments which comprised 52% of the Company's total assets.

In April 1995, the Company announced plans for an initial $5.5 million capital
expenditure commitment for the establishment of Miraval.  In June 1995 this
commitment for capital expenditures was increased to $10.0 million.   While the
Company anticipates additional significant pre-opening costs in connection with
the commencement of operations which will be funded entirely from the Company's
existing cash reserves, 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 into other new business opportunities over the
near term.

STI 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 three and six-month periods ended June 30,
1995 do  however, reflect a positive trend to attract and retain a higher
percentage of cash paying customers.  For the six-month period ended June 30,
1995 approximately 65% of patient revenue was derived from individual patient
payments, while only 35% of patient revenue was derived from insurance
companies and other third party payors.

Business Outlook

The operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 reflect a
relatively stable patient census level compared to the same period in 1994,
while the operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995
reflect an increase of 6% in patient census level when compared to the same
period in 1994.  Management's continued efforts to maintain expense controls is
reflected in the operating results for both periods. Revenue growth and expense
controls, including significant improvements in operational efficiencies, have
resulted in limiting the Company's net loss (excluding business expansion
costs) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995.

In May 1995, construction activities related to Miraval commenced.  As a
result, certain of the Company's underutilized facilities are being renovated
and expanded to accommodate the lodging requirements and the programs and
activities offered by Miraval.  Because of the nature of the construction
activities that are currently underway, certain existing assets and components
of existing assets will be retired.  Consequently, the Company will take a
charge in the third quarter of 1995 when these retirements take place.  The
Company is currently analyzing these transactions and is unable to accurately
