         Net income per common share and per common and common equivalent share
is based upon weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. Common equivalent shares include the dilutive effect of
stock options if any.

         Net income available to common shareholders was computed as follows:

         Note 2:  Reclassifications and Use of Accounting Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Such amounts include, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts,
workers' compensation and medical benefit reserves for its Self Funded Plans,
other asset valuation allowances and certain liabilities. Management
periodically re-evaluates the estimates inherent in certain financial statement
amounts and may adjust accordingly.

         Note 3:  Credit Facility

         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.

                                                                              3

<PAGE>

          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.

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 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 November 30, 2000 compared to quarter ended November 30,
1999.

         Net revenues for the quarter ended November 30, 2000 increased $363,022
or 4% to $10,229,017 from $9,865,995 for the quarter ended November 30, 1999.
The increase in net revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2000 from the
quarter ended November 30, 1999 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
three branch locations in Pennsylvania in May 2000, offset by a decrease in
revenue in the New Jersey, New York and Florida branches of the Company.

         Gross profit margin increased to 33.2% for the quarter ended November
30, 2000 from 31.4% for the quarter ended November 30, 1999. The increase in the
gross profit margin is primarily attributable to an elimination of low profit
margin contracts, change in wage and benefit programs for employees and contract
rate increases in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

         Selling, general and administrative costs increased $333,286 (14.1%) to
$2,696,388 for the quarter ended November 30, 2000, up from $2,363,102 for the
quarter ended November 30, 1999. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the May 2000 acquisition of
three branch locations in Pennsylvania.

         Income from operations decreased to $252,876 for the quarter ended
November 30, 2000 from $351,257 for the quarter ended November 30, 1999, a
decrease of $98,381. The decrease in income from operations for the quarter
ended November 30, 2000 from the quarter ended November 30, 1999 is attributable
to additional operating costs associated with the recent acquisition, as noted
above.

         Net income for the quarter ended November 30, 2000 decreased to $30,773
from $53,336 for the quarter ended November 30, 1999, a decrease of $22,563. The
decrease in net income for the quarter is attributable to additional costs
associated with the recent acquisition.

         Six months ended November 30, 2000 compared to six months ended
November 30, 1999.

         Net revenues for the six months ended November 30, 2000 increased
$711,010 or 3.5% to $20,989,504 from $20,278,494 for the six months ended
November 30, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
three branch locations in Pennsylvania in May 2000, offset by a decrease in
revenue in the New Jersey, New York and Florida branches of the Company.

                                                                              4

<PAGE>

         Gross profit margin increased to 32.9% for the six months ended
November 30, 2000 from 31.4% for the six months ended November 30, 1999. The
increase in the gross profit margin is primarily attributable to an elimination
of low profit margin contracts, change in wage and benefit programs for
employees and contract rate increases in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

         Selling, general and administrative costs increased $599,190 (12.1%) to
$5,534,050 for the six months ended November 30, 2000, up from $4,934,860 for
the six months ended November 30, 1999. Selling, general and administrative
costs increased as a percentage of revenue from 24.3% for the same period last
year to 26.4% for the six months ended November 30, 2000. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the
May 2000 acquisition of three branch locations in Pennsylvania.

         Income from operations decreased to $473,889 for the six months ended
November 30, 2000 from $642,240 for the six months ended November 30, 1999, a
decrease of $168,351. The decrease in income from operations for the six months
ended November 30, 2000 from the six months ended November 30, 1999 is
attributable to an increase in operating costs associated with the recent
acquisition.

         Net income for the six months ended November 30, 2000 decreased to
$56,771 from net income of $144,537 for the six months ended November 30, 1999,
a decrease of $87,766.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of November 30, 2000 cash and cash equivalents were $214,566 as
compared with $321,465 at May 31, 2000. The net decrease of $106,899 resulted
primarily from the acquisition of three branches in Pennsylvania and an increase
in 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 November 30, 2000 and May 31, 2000.

         The Company currently has available a line of credit with a bank 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 87.5% of
eligible accounts receivables that are aged less than 180 days at LIBOR +3.75%.
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 November 30, 2000,
the outstanding loan balance is $5,348,312. The Credit Facility matures on
September 12, 2003. The Company is not in violation of any of the covenants of
the Facility as of November 30, 2000.

         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.
