         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim

         Note 2:   Credit Facility

         On November 9, 1998, the Company entered into a $10 million revolving
credit facility with Daiwa Securities America, Inc. (the Credit Facility). In
connection with the agreement, Star Multi Care Services, Inc and certain of its
subsidiaries (the members) formed SMCS Care, LLC (a limited liability Company)
(the "LLC"). The operating agreement of the LLC provides for its members to sell
its eligible receivables to the LLC and whereby the LLC will borrow from the
lender in accordance with the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility provided for the LLC to borrow up to 70% of eligible
accounts receivable (as defined) that are aged less than 180 days at LIBOR plus
4%, and the remaining eligible accounts receivable (as defined) at LIBOR plus
7%. The credit facility was due to expire on November 8, 2000 and required the
Company to meet certain financial ratios and covenants, including current ratio,
minimum tangible net worth, debt service coverage and interest coverage. All of
the assets of the Company collateralize the Credit Facility. At May 31, 2000,
the Company was in violation of certain financial covenants and the lender has
granted the Company a waiver for those covenants that were not met.

<PAGE>

On September 12, 2000, the Company renegotiated its Credit Facility with its
lender on more favorable terms and extended the Credit Facility for an
additional three years. The material terms of the new Credit Facility are:

         1.       The Credit Facility was reduced to $7 million from $10 million
                  to more accurately reflect the Company's actual borrowing
                  needs and to reduce non-utilization fees.
         2.       The interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 3.75% for the
                  entire Credit Facility.
         3.       The Credit Facility will gradually reduce the available
                  borrowing base from the present 90% of eligible receivables to
                  87.5% by January 2001.
         4.       A number of financial covenants were revised to more
                  realistically measure the Company's financial performance.
         5.       The lender granted waivers for all of the financial covenants
                  that were breached in the past fiscal year.

As of August 31, 2000 the borrowing base totaled $5,525,693, and the outstanding
loan balance totaled $5,401,663, as compared to $5,797,625 and $6,043,188,
respectively, as of August 31, 1999.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations.

         The following discussion and analysis provides information, which the
Company's management believes, is relevant to an assessment and understanding of
the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This 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, 2000.

         The Company is subject to significant external factors, which could
significantly impact its business, including changes in Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursement, government fraud and abuse initiatives and other such factors,
which are beyond the control of the Company. These factors, as well as, future
changes in reimbursement and changes in interpretations of regulations, could
cause future results to differ materially from historical trends.

Results of Operations.

         Quarter ended August 31, 2000 compared to quarter ended August 31,
1999.

         Net revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 increased $347,987
or 3.3% to $10,760,487 from $10,412,500 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999.
The increase in net revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 from the
quarter ended August 31, 1999 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
three new locations in Pennsylvania as of May 8, 2000.

         Gross profit margin increased to 32.6% for the quarter ended August 31,
2000 from 31.4% for the quarter ended August 31, 1999. The increase in the gross
profit margin is primarily attributable to lower costs in payroll and payroll
related benefits and to increased reimbursement rates in the states of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey.


<PAGE>

         Selling, general and administrative costs increased $277,623 (10.8%) to
$2,849,374 for the quarter ended August 31, 2000, up from $2,571,751 for the
quarter ended August 31, 1999. Selling, general and administrative costs
increased as a percentage of revenue to 26.5% for the quarter ended August 31,
2000, as compared to 24.7% for the quarter ended August 31, 1999 and is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of three new locations in Pennsylvania
as of May 8, 2000.

         Income from operations decreased to $209,322 for the quarter ended
August 31, 2000 from a profit of $290,985 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999,
a decrease of $81,663. The decrease in income from operations for the quarter
ended August 31, 2000 from the quarter ended August 31, 1999, is attributable to
a decline in Medicaid service hour volume in New Jersey, and the decline of
Medicare subcontract services.

         Net income for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 decreased to $26,011
from a profit of $91,203 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999, a decrease of
$65,192. The decrease in net income for the quarter is attributable to a decline
in Medicaid service hour volume in New Jersey, and the decline of Medicare
subcontract services.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of August 31, 2000 cash and cash equivalents were $74,443 as
compared with $321,465 at May 31, 2000. The net decrease of $247,022 resulted
primarily from the acquisition of additional operations in Pennsylvania and the
subsequent funding of accounts receivable.

         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 represents a substantial portion of
current and total assets at August 31, 2000 and May 31, 2000.

         The Company has available a line of credit with a lender which allows
for borrowings of up to $7,000,000 (the "Credit Facility"). Pursuant to the
Credit Facility, the amount the Company may borrow is limited to 90% of eligible
accounts receivables that are aged less than 180 days, declining gradually to
87.5% of eligible accounts receivable effective January 1, 2001. The interest
rate was reduced to at LIBOR +3.75% for the entire credit facility. The Credit
Facility provides for the lender to receive a security interest in all of the
assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of August 31, 2000, the
outstanding principal loan balance is $5,345,586. The amended Credit Facility
matures on September 12, 2003. The Company is not in violation of any of the
covenants of the Credit.

         The Company intends to meet its long-term liquidity needs through
available cash, cash flow and the new Credit Facility. 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 funding will
be available to the Company on satisfactory terms. Additionally, there can be no
assurance that the Credit Facility can be extended beyond its expiration date
and/or can be replaced with another lender under favorable terms.

          Other than the matters described above, the Company does not
anticipate any extraordinary material commitments for capital expenditures for
the Company's current fiscal year.
