results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 1 - NET INCOME PER SHARE
- -----------------------------

           Net income  (loss) per share has been computed by dividing net income

and warrants.

care service  company which  provides home care services in New Jersey and Ohio.
In accordance  with the Merger  Agreement,  each share of common stock of Amserv
outstanding  immediately  prior to consummation of the merger was converted into

1,410,731.  The Company also assumed all outstanding options and other rights to
acquire Amserv stock. Costs related to the merger amounted to $2,808,223. Unpaid

Common  stock  has  been  adjusted  for  the par  value  of the  shares  issued.
Additional  paid in capital and  retained  earnings  have been  adjusted for the
difference between the fair market value and the par value of the shares.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -------------------------

           On January 3, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
merger (the "EFCC Merger  Agreement")  to acquire (the "EFCC  Merger")  Extended
Family Care Corporation  ("EFCC"),  a health care service company which provides
home care  services in New Jersey,  New York and  Pennsylvania.  Pursuant to the
terms of the EFCC  Merger,  the Company will pay  $2,400,000  in cash (plus cash

amount  that  would  have  been  paid  to  dissenting  shareholders,  if any) or
$7,250,000 cash at the Company's option (the "Cash Option").

           In connection with the EFCC Merger, the Company and EFCC have entered

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

           The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the
attached  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes  thereto,  and with the
Company's  audited  financial  statements  and notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- ----------------------

           On August 23,  1996,  the Company  completed  a merger  (the  "Amserv
Merger"),  accounted for as a pooling of interests, with AMSERV HEALTHCARE, INC.
("Amserv"),  a health care service  company that  provides  home care  services,
including  personal care, such as assistance with the activities of daily living
(e.g. eating, walking and grooming), and skilled nursing services, such as wound
care and assistance with medications,  injections and patient education,  in New
Jersey and Ohio. In accordance  with the terms of the Amserv Merger,  each share
of common stock of Amserv,  outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the
Amserv Merger, was converted into .4090 shares of common stock of the Company. A
total of  1,410,731  shares of common  stock of the  Company  were  issued  upon
consummation  of the Amserv  Merger.  The Company also  assumed all  outstanding
options and other  rights to acquire  Amserv  stock.  The  following  results of
combined  operations for the periods  ending  February 28, 1997 and 1996 include
the operations of both the Company and Amserv.

           QUARTER  ENDED AND NINE MONTHS ENDED  FEBRUARY  28, 1997  COMPARED TO
QUARTER ENDED AND NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996.

           Total net revenues increased $1,321,680 or 11% to $13,326,186 for the
quarter ended February 28, 1997 over net revenues of $12,004,506 for the quarter
ended  February  29,  1996.  For the nine  months  ended  February  28, 1997 net
revenues  increased  $3,700,387  or 10% to  $39,163,979  from  net  revenues  of
$35,463,592 for the nine months ended February 29, 1996.

           The Company's decided shift towards providing  placement  services of
registered  nurses and home  health  aides to  patients  for care at home ("Home
Care")  mirrors  a  changing  social  and  economic   attitude  toward  the  de-
institutionalization  of  patients.  Due to the  long  hospital  stays  of  some
terminally  ill patients and the greater  costs  associated  with  institutional
treatment  plans,  the  Company  believes  that  the  industry  (i.e.  hospital,
insurance  companies and home care  agencies)  trend is to find ways to care for
patients in the home. The Company  continues to devote its resources  toward the
growth in Home Care and believes  this upward trend will continue in the future.
Home Care revenues represented approximately 99% of fiscal 1997 net revenues and
providing  temporary  health care personnel  recruiting to hospitals and nursing
homes represented approximately 1% of fiscal 1997 net revenues.

           Gross profit margins were approximately 35% for the quarter ended and
nine months ended February 28, 1997 and 1996.

           Selling,  general  and  administrative  costs  and  depreciation  and
amortization  as a  percentage  of net revenues  were 28% for the quarter  ended
February 28, 1997 as compared with 30% for the quarter ended  February 29, 1996.
Selling, general and administrative costs and depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of net revenues were 28% for the nine months ended  February 28, 1997
as compared with 31% for the nine months ended February 29, 1996.  Such decrease
is  primarily   attributable  to  the  increase  in  revenues  being  without  a
proportionate increase in back office overhead.



                                        8

           Income from operations  increased $231,733 or 36% to $874,440 for the
quarter  ended  February 28, 1997  compared  with $642,707 for the quarter ended
February  29,  1996.  Income  from  operations  increased  $956,699  or  66%  to
$2,406,319 for the nine months ended February 28, 1997 compared with  $1,449,620
for the nine months ended February 29, 1996.

           The Company  incurred a one-time charge of $2,808,223 for acquisition
costs, legal fees and restructuring  expenses associated with the Merger,  which
contributed  to a net  loss for the  nine  months  ended  February  28,  1997 of
$297,561 compared with net income of $766,342 for the nine months ended February
29, 1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- ----------------------------------------------------

           As of February  28, 1997 cash and cash  equivalents  were  $78,574 as
compared  with  $1,881,979  at May 31,  1996.  The net  decrease  of  $1,803,405
resulted primarily from the repayment of its revolving credit line.

           The nature of the Company's  business requires weekly payments to its
personnel  at the time they  render  services,  while it  receives  payment  for
services  rendered  over an extended  period of time (60 to 180 days or longer),
particularly  when the payor is an insurance  company,  medical  institution  or
governmental  unit.  Accounts  receivable  represent  a  substantial  portion of
current and total assets at February 28, 1997 and May 31, 1996.  During the nine
months ended  February  28, 1997 and for the year ended May 31,  1996,  accounts
receivable turnover was approximately 71 days.

           The  Company  currently  has  available  a line of credit with a bank
which allows for maximum  borrowings of $8,000,000.  This line of credit expires
on October  31,  1998 and is  subject  to  renewal.  However,  as the  Company's
business expands, additional financing may be required. Short-term borrowings at
February 28, 1997 were $1,997,000 as compared to $3,280,000 at May 31, 1996.

           On January 3, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
merger (the "EFCC Merger  Agreement")  to acquire (the "EFCC  Merger")  Extended
Family Care Corporation  ("EFCC"),  a health care service company which provides
home care  services in New Jersey,  New York and  Pennsylvania.  Pursuant to the
terms of the EFCC  Merger,  the Company will pay  $2,400,000  in cash (plus cash
payments to dissenting  shareholders,  if any) and $4,850,000 in stock (less the
amount  that  would  have  been  paid  to  dissenting  shareholders,  if any) or
$7,250,000 cash at the Company's option (the "Cash Option").

           Unless  the  Company  exercises  the Cash  Option,  in which case the
Company  would  have  to  raise  $7,250,000  through  additional   borrowing  or
otherwise,  the Company does not  anticipate  any  extraordinary  material  cash
commitments for capital  expenditures for the Company's  current fiscal year and
the  Company  believes  that  cash  generated  from  operations,  together  with
borrowings  available  under its existing line of credit,  will be sufficient to
meet its short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

           Unless the Company exercises the Cash Option,  the Company intends to
meet its long-term  liquidity  needs through  available  cash, cash flow and, if
necessary,  the Company's  bank line of credit.  To the extent that such sources
are inadequate,  the Company will be required to seek additional  financing.  In
such  event,  there  can be no  assurance  that  additional  financing  will  be
available to the Company on satisfactory terms.

           In  addition  to the  proposed  acquisition  of EFCC,  the Company is
continually  exploring  possible  acquisitions  of  compatible  companies in the
health care  business.  If any such  acquisition  were to be made with available
cash, the Company's long-term liquidity would depend to a greater extent on cash
flow and the line of credit.

           In connection with the EFCC Merger, the Company and EFCC have entered
into a consulting agreement,  which is subject to approval by the New York State
Department  of  Health,  pursuant  to which  the  Company  will  render  to EFCC
consulting and advisory  services in connection with the  management,  operation
and  supervision of EFCC.  The term of the consulting  agreement will end on the
earlier of (i) one year from  signing  of the EFCC  Merger  Agreement,  (ii) the
effective  time of the EFCC Merger or (iii) the  termination  of the EFCC Merger
Agreement. In consideration for the consulting services rendered by the Company,
EFCC will pay $25,000  per month  payable (a) $15,000 in arrears on the last day
of each month and (b) the  remaining  $10,000 on the earlier of the closing date
or termination of the EFCC Merger Agreement. As of February 28, 1997 $35,000 due
from EFCC is included in prepaid and other  current  assets.  The EFCC Merger is
subject to approval by the  shareholders of both the company and EFCC as well as
the  satisfaction of certain other  conditions and is expected to be consummated
on or before August 15, 1997.

           Home health care  organizations  involved in federal and state funded
programs, are subject to periodic survey by regulatory agencies. Accordingly, in
December,  1995, a survey by state and federal regulatory agencies was conducted
at the  Medicare-certified  home  health  agency  operated by the  Company.  The
findings of the initial survey  indicated that a follow up survey was warranted.
The survey, held in March, 1997, were favorable and that only minor deficiencies
existed. The final written report, confirming the surveyors' findings,  however,
has not been  received by the Company  and there can be no  assurances  that the
written report will reflect the surveyors' verbal representations.

INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
- -------------------------

           The rate of inflation was insignificant during the year ended May 31,
1996. In the past, the effects of inflation on personnel  costs have been offset
by the  Company's  ability to increase  its charges for services  rendered.  The
Company  anticipates  that it will be  able  to  continue  to do so in the  near
future. The Company  continually reviews its costs in relation to the pricing of
its services.

           The Company's business is not seasonal.

                           PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
         ------------------

           A lawsuit was filed on November 14, 1996 in San Diego  Superior Court
(Case No. 705475), by Eugene J. Mora against Amserv Healthcare, Inc., Star Multi
Care Services,  Inc., William Fellerman, and Stephen Sternbach. Mr. Mora alleges
that he was the President and Chief Executive  Officer of Amserv, at the time of
the merger between Amserv and the Company and that his employment  contract with
Amserv was breached when he was  terminated by Amserv and the Company  following
the Merger.

           Mr. Mora  alleges  that  pursuant to his  employment  contract,  upon
termination  he would be entitled to five years of continued  salary at $298,000
per year;  an annual car  allowance  of $450 per month for the five year period;
payment for unutilized vacation days for a total of $112,000; and the cash value
of a whole  life  policy  of life  insurance,  which  premiums  had been paid by
Amserv,  for an  approximate  value of  $350,000  and  approximately  $48,000 in
various fringe  benefits.  Mr. Mora further alleges that he had a contract which
would result in him being hired as a consultant  upon  termination  and this too
was  breached.  Under this  allegation,  Mr.  Mora seeks  damages  for two years
consulting  fee at  $129,200  per year.  Mr.  Mora also seeks  reimbursement  of
attorneys' fees.

           The  Company  does not  believe  that this  matter  will  result in a
material adverse impact on the Company.

           In the Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB,  for the fiscal year
ended May 31,  1996,  the  Company  reported  the  existence  of  certain  legal
proceedings  against  Amserv.  On  September  13, 1996 the  Company  settled and
resolved completely all pending litigation against Amserv previously reported.

           --------------------------------

All items required in Part II have been  previously  filed or are not applicable
for the quarter ended February 28, 1997.
