ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On November 10, 1997, management at the Medicare-certified home
health agency operated by Star Multi Care Services of Florida, Inc. d/b/a
American Health Care Services ("American") was restructured. The restructuring
resulted in the termination of 14 employees, including the Administrator and
Director of Professional Services. Key management personnel were hired
contemporaneously with the terminations of previous managers. The Company's
management had previously directed an internal compliance review for the
American facility. After review of the resulting management report, the Company
determined that the operational objectives of the Company could be better
achieved with a change in personnel and a change in management structure. The
Company's management expects that the management changes at American will
produce favorable results in the operations of American's home health agency in
1998.
The Company was advised by its counsel on December 3, 1997 that the
Medicaid audit previously reported pending in New York may be expanded in that
the Company is a target of a criminal investigation in connection with such
audit.
