PROSPECTUS

                   SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 29, 1996



                                 $32,200,000
                          7% Convertible Subordinated
                              Debentures Due 2006

                       2,582,197 Shares of Common Stock


                       YOUTH SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC.


         This Prospectus relates to up to $32,200,000 aggregate principal
amount of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2006 (the "Debentures") of
Youth Services International, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("YSI" or the
"Company"), issued under the Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of
July __,1996, by and between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as
trustee (the "Trustee"), and the 2,582,197 shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable upon conversion
of the Exchange Offer Debentures (as defined below) and the Restricted
Debentures (as defined below).  The Company originally issued and sold
$37,950,000 aggregate principal amount of 7% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2006 (the "Original Debentures") on January 29, 1996 in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  A portion of the Original Debentures
(the "Rule 144A Debentures") were offered and sold to persons reasonably
believed to be "qualified institutional buyers," as such term is defined under
Rule 144A under the Securities Act, a portion of the Original Debentures (the
"Accredited Investor Debentures") were offered and sold to persons reasonably
believed to be "accredited investors," as such term is defined by Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act and a portion of the Original Debentures (the
"Regulation S Debentures") were offered and sold in transactions complying with
the provisions of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

         On July 29, 1996, the Company commenced an exchange offer pursuant to
which the Company has offered holders of the Rule 144A Debentures and the
Accredited Investor Debentures (collectively, the "Restricted Debentures") the
opportunity to exchange such Restricted Debentures for an equal principal
amount of Debentures issued under the Indenture (the "Exchange Offer
Debentures").  The exchange offer will expire on September 3, 1996.  As of July
26, 1996, there were outstanding an aggregate principal amount of $32,200,000 of
Restricted Debentures and 2,582,197 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Restricted Debentures.  Accordingly, an aggregate principal
amount of up to $32,200,000 of the Exchange Offer Debentures and up to
2,582,197 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Offer
Debentures and upon conversion of the Restricted Debentures (the "Conversion
Shares") may be offered and sold from time to time by the holders named herein
or by their transferees, pledgees, donees or their successors (the "Selling
Holders") pursuant to this Prospectus.

         The Exchange Offer Debentures have substantially the same terms as the
Restricted Debentures.  The Exchange Offer Debentures will mature on February
1, 2006, pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of
each year and are convertible at the option of the holder thereof at any time
after the date of this Prospectus and prior to redemption and maturity, into
shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $12.47 per share, subject to
adjustment under certain conditions.  On July 26, 1996, the reported closing
bid price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $17 3/4 per
share.
<PAGE>   4
         The Exchange Offer Debentures are redeemable at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 1999, at the
redemption prices set forth therein.  See "Description of Exchange Offer
Debentures."  The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemptions or
annual sinking fund payments with regard to the Exchange Offer Debentures.

         The Exchange Offer Debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company
and are subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness (as defined) of the Company and its subsidiaries, including
all existing and future liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries.  As of
March 31, 1996, the Senior Indebtedness was approximately $12.1 million.  The 
ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness 
and liabilities is not limited by the terms of the Exchange Offer Debentures.

         The Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares may be sold by
the Selling Holders from time to time directly to purchasers.  The Selling
Holders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Exchange
Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares and will pay all underwriting
discounts and selling commissions, if any, applicable to the sale of the
Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares.  The Company is
responsible for payment of all other expenses in connection with the
performance by the Company of its obligations under the terms and provisions of
the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Restricted Debentures.

         The Selling Holders and any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters
that participate in the distribution of the Exchange Offer Debentures or the
Conversion Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters," as such term is defined
under Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commission or profit
received by them in connection with the resale of the Exchange Offer Debentures
or the Conversion Shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.

OF CERTAIN FACTORS RELEVANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER DEBENTURES
OR THE CONVERSION SHARES.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

       YSI is a leading national provider of private educational, developmental
and rehabilitative programs focusing on troubled youths who either have been
adjudicated as delinquents or suffer from behavioral problems.  The Company
develops and operates a wide range of programs designed to promote
accountability, respect and discipline through highly structured, physically
demanding, intensely scheduled and intellectually challenging activities.  In
conjunction with these programs, the Company also offers troubled youth a broad
range of behavioral health and rehabilitative services.  The Company operates
these programs in a variety of settings including residential juvenile justice
academies, residential treatment centers ("RTCs"), boot camps and group homes
and, in addition, offers non-residential services including aftercare services,
tracking, counseling services, and partial care and day services.  As of March
31, 1996, the Company operated 18 residential programs serving approximately
2,100 enrolled students and conducted non-residential programs serving
approximately 1,800 youth.  The youth served by the Company are drawn from 36
states.

       Initially, the Company was established to capitalize on emerging
opportunities in the privatization of juvenile programs by state and local
governments.  The Company believes that it can deliver its programs at a lower
cost compared to similar programs operated directly by government agencies.  In
response to increased demand from public and private payors for additional
youth care services and changes occurring in reimbursement methods, the Company
evolved and diversified its service offerings to include expanded educational,
vocational and behavioral health services broadening its continuum of care.
Since its formation in 1991, YSI has successfully expanded its base of
operations through a combination of internal and external growth by expanding
program offerings, increasing student capacity at existing facilities,
developing new programs in response to privatization opportunities, and by
acquiring complimentary programs and businesses.  The Company recently
experienced significant revenue and earnings growth with revenues increasing
from $8.9 million to $53.1 million and net income increasing from a loss of
$1.7 million to net income of $2.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1993 through June 30, 1995, respectively.  For the nine months ended March 31,
1996, YSI reported revenues of $61.3 million and net income of $2.5 million,
increases of approximately 64% and 90%, respectively over performance in the
same period in fiscal year 1995.

       The Company believes that it is well positioned to respond to
anticipated increased demand for its services.  YSI has estimated that the
juvenile justice market for publicly and privately provided residential
programs is approximately $3.8 billion annually and that the total troubled
youth care market (juvenile justice, behavioral health, special education and
child welfare) for residential and community based services is a significantly
larger market. Trends reflecting increases in both the number of juvenile
offenders and in the severity of the crimes committed suggest that there is a
shortage of residential capacity and a lack of comprehensive programs to treat
juvenile offenders.  Management believes that rising costs and cost containment
pressures at all levels of government coupled with the inability of many
government agencies to deliver economic and effective programs to an increasing
number of juvenile offenders will continue to accelerate the trend toward more
privatization of juvenile services.  State and local governments, as well as
other private payors such as managed care entities and insurance companies,
recognize that the underlying issues plaguing troubled youth are the same
regardless of whether they have been adjudicated or identified as troubled
youth based on non-criminal behavior.  Consequently, payors are increasingly
seeking providers that can treat a variety of troubled youth through single
source contracts on a nationwide basis.  YSI believes that it has been adept at
modifying its offerings to respond to industry changes and remains committed to
being at the forefront of the industry. The Company believes that all of these
factors will lead to further consolidation in the sector and fuel the Company's
future growth.  The Company further believes that these changes will ultimately
result in improved care for troubled youth in a more cost effective manner.

                                  RISK FACTORS

       In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
information should be considered carefully by potential purchasers in
evaluating the Company and its business before making an investment in the
securities offered hereunder:

DEPENDENCE UPON SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS

       The Company's operations currently consist of programs that are based on
various contractual relationships.  Three of the Company's long-term contracts
constituted, in the aggregate, approximately 34% of the Company's revenues for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996: (i) the contract to operate The Charles
H. Hickey, Jr. School (20%) which expires on June 30, 1998; (ii) the contract
to operate the Victor Cullen Academy (11%) which expires on August 31, 1997;
and (iii) the contract to operate the Reflections Treatment Agency (3%) which
expires on August 31, 1997.  Each of these programs (and several of the
Company's other contracts with governmental agencies) is material to the
Company, and the loss of any such program could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.  These
contracts, which have terms ranging from one to five years, will be subject to
competitive bidding when they expire.  The Company's ability to maintain
profitable operations will be dependent upon, among other factors, the
successful continuance of its existing contracts and programs.  There can be no
assurance that such contracts will be renewed or extended or that they will be
renewed or extended on terms favorable to the Company, that such programs will
be continued or that the Company will be able to maintain profitable
operations.

POSSIBLE TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS AT THE DISCRETION OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

       The terms of a number of the contracts with government agencies pursuant
to which the Company operates its programs provide that such contracts (i) are
subject to the ongoing appropriation by state legislatures and authorities of
sufficient funds, and (ii) may be terminated for any reason by providing the
Company notice of termination immediately or within specified periods of time
(ranging from 10 to 90 days) or otherwise at the "convenience" of the state and
local authorities.  These terms give state and local authorities significant
discretion in terminating or modifying their contractual arrangements with the
Company.  Recently, a number of state and local governments have experienced
fiscal pressures associated with a reduced tax base and other factors.
Accordingly, the Company's operations could be materially adversely affected by
the termination or modification of an agreement or agreements at any time for
reasons that may be outside of the Company's control.

MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH

       The Company has experienced significant growth since its inception and
expects to continue to grow in the foreseeable future.  The Company's success
will depend in part on the ability of the Company to obtain and train qualified
personnel to handle the increasing number of youths in its care; to develop and
operate the information technology systems and financial controls to manage the
increased number of personnel, responsibilities and youths; to manage its
resources over a larger base of programs and activities; to integrate
efficiently and effectively the business and financial functions of any newly
acquired programs; and to integrate any new programs into the Company's
programmatic functions and philosophy.  Although the Company believes it has
been able to manage these processes during its historical growth, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to do so on the larger
scale that may occur as the Company continues to grow.

CONCENTRATION OF SHARE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT

       The executive officers and directors of the Company and their
affiliates, as a group, owned or controlled approximately 36.1% of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock as of June 30, 1996, including all shares
that can be acquired pursuant to all outstanding options and warrants
exercisable within 60 days of such date held by such individuals.  Assuming
full conversion of Debentures, management ownership would have been 
approximately 27.4% of the total outstanding Common Stock as of June 30, 1996. 
As a result, the executive officers and directors and their affiliates may be 
able to control the    





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   10
Company, to direct its affairs and business and to control the outcome of 
matters requiring stockholder approval, including matters involving a change in
control of the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

       At the present time, the Company depends to a great extent upon the
efforts of each of its executive officers, program directors and certain other
key personnel to obtain contracts, to operate and develop programs and to
administer the Company's business.  In addition, the Company's ability to
perform under new contracts will depend, in part, on its ability to attract or
obtain additional qualified personnel.  There is significant competition for
qualified teachers, counselors, health care providers, program managers,
administrators and other key personnel, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in recruiting or training a sufficient number of
employees of the requisite caliber to enable the Company to operate its
business and implement its strategy as planned.

CONTRACT REVENUES AND PROFIT

       The Company's program revenues are generated under the terms of
contracts that generally call for fixed per diem payments that are based upon
program occupancy.  Such payments are recognized as revenues for financial
statement purposes as services are performed.  One of the Company's contracts
contains a gross maximum price cost reimbursement provision that results in the
recognition of revenues as specific reimbursable costs are incurred.  The
Company's ability to estimate and control its costs with respect to all of
these contracts is critical to its profitability.

NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

       The Company has conducted and will conduct a portion of its business
pursuant to subcontracts or similar relationships with not-for-profit entities
organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), that have obtained status as organizations exempt from
federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code.  State governments,
agencies or licensing authorities that contract with the not-for-profit
organizations are eligible to receive matching funds from the federal
government as a partial reimbursement for certain program expenses charged by
the Company.  If the exempt status of any of these not-for-profit organizations
is revoked, the state governments, agencies or licensing authorities may be
denied federal matching funds and may reduce their placement of students with,
or the use of, such organization, causing a loss of gross revenues to the
Company.  In addition, in such event, these organizations would be taxed on
their net income, if any, which could adversely affect their ability to pay the
Company pursuant to their subcontracts.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND CONTRACTING PROCESS

       Many of the Company's contracts are with government agencies.
Government contracts generally are subject to audits and investigations by
government agencies.  These audits and investigations involve a review of the
contractor's performance on its contracts, as well as its pricing practices,
its cost structure and its compliance with applicable laws, regulations and
standards.  If any costs are improperly charged to a contract, the costs are
not reimbursable and, if already reimbursed, will have to be refunded to the
government agency.  Furthermore, if improper or illegal activities are
discovered in the course of any audits or investigations, the contractor may be
subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions,
which may include termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension
of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with the
government agency.

       Typically, the Company must invest significant time and resources to
prepare detailed analyses and proposals addressing the needs of a government
authority with which it seeks to do business.  Such proposals must be reviewed
by appropriate government authorities before the contract is awarded.
Accordingly, new contracts tend to have long lead times from initiation of
marketing efforts to execution and are subject to significant uncertainty
regarding successful conclusion at all times during the process.  There can be
no assurance that additional contracts will be obtained by the Company or
continued once they are obtained.





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   11
GOVERNMENTAL LIMITATIONS AND REGULATIONS

       The industry in which the Company operates is subject to extensive
federal, state and local regulation including stringent licensing requirements.
Failure to comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations or to maintain
its licenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.  Furthermore, the current and
future operations of the Company may be subject to additional regulations as a
result of, among other factors, new statutes and regulations and changes in the
manner in which existing statutes and regulations are or may be interpreted or
applied.  Any such additional regulations may have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

       In the course of the Company's business, licensing authorities may place
certain provisions on program operations that are required to be resolved in
order to maintain a license.  During such provisional period, the Company may
not be able to obtain approvals for increases in licensed capacity and may
experience other limitations.

       The Company's ability to implement its business strategy may be
significantly affected by the legal power and structures of the state and local
governments with which the Company does or seeks to do business.  The Company
believes that the laws of many states neither specifically authorize nor
prohibit governments from entering into contracts with private sector companies
for the types of services offered by the Company.  It is possible that a third
party could challenge a government's decision to award a contract to the
Company in such a situation.  In certain jurisdictions, governments may be
altogether precluded by law from entering into management contracts with
private sector companies.  Also, while privatization of services has been used
in one form or another by many states, there can be no assurance that state and
local governments will continue to utilize private vendors to manage facilities
and/or programs for juvenile offenders.  In addition, many state and local
governments are required to enter into a competitive bidding procedure before
awarding contracts for products or services.  The laws of certain jurisdictions
may also require the Company to award subcontracts on a competitive basis and
to subcontract to varying degrees with businesses owned by women or minorities.
It is possible that a third party could challenge sole-source awards to the
Company or the Company's subcontracts as inconsistent with competitive bidding
or minority contracting requirements.

       The health care industry is subject to extensive regulation by federal,
state and local governments, including regulations under Medicare, Medicaid and
Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services ("CHAMPUS")
programs.  Certain of the Company's programs, including its RTC's, are subject
to such regulation.  Failure to comply with such laws and regulations can cause
fines and other penalties to the Company and can cause expulsion from Medicare,
Medicaid, CHAMPUS or other program involvement which sanctions could have a
material adverse affect on the Company.  Government-imposed limitations on
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement have placed downward pressures on rates
charged under these programs and have caused the private sector to bear a
greater share of increasing health care costs.  As a result of the continued
escalation of health care costs and the inability of many individuals to obtain
health insurance, numerous proposals have been or may be considered in the
United States Congress and various state legislatures relating to health care
reform.  Certain measures, if adopted, could affect the rates charged by the
Company for certain of its services, could affect the manner in which care must
be provided or could otherwise have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business.

       The Company believes it is in compliance in all material respects with
all applicable rules and regulations.

POTENTIAL THIRD-PARTY LIABILITY

       Many aspects of the Company's operations involve risks of liability,
including potential third-party claims by students or other persons for
personal injury or other damage resulting from contact with the Company's
facilities, programs, personnel or students (including students who leave the
Company's facilities without Company authorization and cause bodily injury or
property damage).  Furthermore, the Company's contracts often require the
Company to indemnify and hold the respective government agency harmless from
and against





                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   12
any damages to which the government agency may become subject by reason of the
Company's operations.  The Company carries general liability insurance that
provides coverage for certain liability risks faced by the Company, including
accident and personal injury (including bodily injury or property damage to a
third party where the Company is found to be negligent in its supervision
practices).  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's insurance
will be adequate to cover any potential third-party claims.

       Committed offenders often seek redress in federal courts pursuant to
federal civil rights statutes for alleged violations of their constitutional
rights caused by the overall condition of their confinement or by specific
conditions or incidents.  The Company may be subject to liability if any such
claim or proceeding is made or instituted against the Company or the state with
which the Company contracts or subcontracts.

       The operation of the Company's business also exposes it to a greater
than average risk of charges by employees of age or race discrimination filed
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and equivalent state agencies
and related civil litigation.  While the Company's management believes that
these claims and charges represent matters that arise in the ordinary course of
business for companies engaged in its industry, the defense of these claims can
be labor intensive and expensive.

PUBLIC SCRUTINY

       The business of the Company is highly visible to the public and,
consequently, negative public reaction to the Company's policies or actions, or
to the statements or actions of juveniles in its care could adversely affect
the Company's ability to obtain additional programs or expand existing programs
or could otherwise adversely affect the Company's business.  It is also
possible that, even absent such negative reaction to the Company, communities
may object to facilities such as the Company's which objections could
materially, adversely affect the ability of the Company to establish new
programs or expand existing programs.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

       The market price of the Company's Common Stock has been volatile,
ranging in price from 5 1/2 to 27 5/6 over the past year.  See "Price Range of
Common Stock."  There also have been periods of extreme fluctuation in the
stock market that, in many cases, were unrelated to the operating performance
of, or announcements concerning, the issuers of the affected securities.
Securities of issuers having relatively limited capitalization or securities
recently issued in a public offering are particularly susceptible to change
based on the short-term trading strategies of certain investors.  The trading
price of the Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuation resulting from
quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, new announcements,
legislative developments, trading volume, general market trends and other
factors.  There can be no assurance that the price of the Company's Common
Stock will be maintained at its current level.

ANTITAKEOVER AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PROVISIONS

       Pursuant to the Company's Charter, the Company's Board of Directors has
the authority to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares without any further
vote or action by the stockholders.  The issuance of preferred stock under
certain circumstances could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of the Company.  In addition, the Maryland General Corporation Law
establishes special requirements with respect to "business combinations"
between Maryland corporations and "interested stockholders" unless exemptions
are applicable.  Among other things, the law prohibits, for a period of five
years, after the date on which a stockholder becomes an "interested
stockholder," a merger and other transactions between a company and an
interested stockholder and requires a supermajority vote for such transactions
after the end of such five-year period.  The Maryland General Corporation Law
also imposes limitations on the voting rights of shares of capital stock
acquired by stockholders in a "control share acquisition."  These provisions of
the Maryland General Corporation Law could have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company.





                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   13
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

       A sale of a substantial amount of the Company's Common Stock in the
public market, including "restricted" shares held by Company stockholders,
could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.  Substantially all
of the Company's issued and outstanding shares are freely tradable, subject, in
certain circumstances, to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.  No
prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
additional shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale
will have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time.
Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be
sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the
Common Stock and could impair the ability of the Company to raise capital
through the sale of its equity securities.

SUBORDINATION OF EXCHANGE OFFER DEBENTURES

       The Exchange Offer Debentures are subordinated in right of payment to
all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined) of the Company and its
subsidiaries.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries had
approximately $12.1 million of Senior Indebtedness.  See "Description of
Exchange Offer Debentures--Subordination."  The Exchange Offer Debentures rank
pari passu with the Original Debentures and with the Company's 12% Subordinated
Debentures Due 2002.

DEPENDANT UPON CASH FLOW FROM SUBSIDIARIES

       The Exchange Offer Debentures are obligations exclusively of the Company
and not of its subsidiaries.  Because the operations of the Company are
currently conducted through subsidiaries, the cash flow and the consequent
ability to service debt of the Company, including the Exchange Offer
Debentures, are dependant, in part, upon the earnings of its subsidiaries and
distribution of those earnings to the Company or upon loans or other payments
of funds by those subsidiaries to the Company.  The subsidiaries are separate
and distinct legal entities that have no obligation, contingent or otherwise,
to pay any amounts due under the Exchange Offer Debentures or to make any funds
available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments.  In
addition, the payment of dividends and the making of loans and advances to the
Company by its subsidiaries may be subject to statutory or contractual
restrictions, are contingent upon the earnings of those subsidiaries and are
subject to various business considerations.  See "Description of Exchange Offer
Debentures--Subordination."

LACK OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR EXCHANGE OFFER DEBENTURES

       The Exchange Offer Debentures are being issued during the period of the
exchange offer, from July 29, 1996 through September 3, 1996, in reliance on 
certain exemptions from registration thereof under the Securities Act, including
Section 3(a)(9), Rule 144A and Regulation D.  Accordingly, the Exchange Offer
Debentures may only be resold pursuant to an effective registration statement
or in reliance on an exemption therefrom.  Neither the Exchange Offer
Debentures nor the Restricted Debentures obligates the Company to keep the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part effective after
January 29, 1999.  In addition, the use of this Prospectus may be suspended
from time to time in certain circumstances relating to pending corporate
developments and public filings with the Commission and similar events.  The
Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Exchange Offer Debentures
on any securities exchange or to seek approval for quotations through any
automated system.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a liquid or
active market for the Exchange Offer Debentures will develop or that the
holders of the Exchange Offer Debentures will be able to sell such
Debentures.  If any such market were to develop, the Exchange Offer
Debentures could trade at prices that may be substantially lower than the
principal amount thereof.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

       The Selling Holders will receive all of the net proceeds from the
resales of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares, and the
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales.

                          PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

       The Company's Common Stock is listed and traded on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "YSII."  On May 24, 1996 the Company affected a 3:2
stock split through the declaration and payment of a stock dividend of one
share of Common Stock for every two shares of Common Stock outstanding or
reserved for issuance.  The following table sets forth the high and low sales
prices of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market after
giving effect to the stock split.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

       The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock (other than the
stock dividend on May 24, 1996 to effect the stock split) and does not
anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future as the Company
intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the expansion of its
business.  The declaration and payment of dividends by the Company are subject
to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.  Any declaration of
dividends in the future will depend upon the results of operations, capital
requirements and financial condition of the Company, contractual restrictions
in loan and other agreements and such other factors as the Company's Board of
Directors may deem relevant.

(1)    In July 1996, holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,750,000 of
       Original Debentures (representing all of the Regulation S Debentures)
       surrendered such Debentures for conversion and received in the aggregate
       461,106 shares of Common Stock.  If such conversion had occurred prior
       to March 31, 1996, the aggregate principal amount of Debentures
       outstanding would have been $32,200,000 and the shares issued and
       outstanding would have been 8,828,703, at March 31, 1996.

(2)    The shares issued and outstanding excludes options and warrants
       outstanding at March 31, 1996 to purchase an aggregate of 1,780,529
       shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.49 per

  (2)       There were no fixed charges incurred during the period January 17,
            1991 (date of inception) through June 30, 1991.  For the years ended
            June 30, 1992 and 1993, the Company's earnings were insufficient to
            cover fixed charges by approximately $792,000 and $1,671,000,
            respectively.  Fixed charges consist of interest expense and the
            amortization of fees and discounts related to debt financings.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

      As of March 31, 1996, YSI managed or operated 18 residential programs in
12 states.  The Company operates its programs through wholly-owned subsidiaries
pursuant to contracts directly with government agencies and third party payors
or, alternatively, with unaffiliated not-for-profit entities that have
contracts with government agencies.  See the Notes to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

      The Company's programs are provided pursuant to fixed per diem contracts
based upon program occupancy, management contracts, including those management
contracts with not-for-profit entities and various third party payor
contractual reimbursement contracts.  The Company recognizes revenues under all
contracts as the services are performed.  Under certain contracts, some
contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment
by negotiations with government or third party payor representatives.  Under
these contracts, contract revenues are recorded at amounts that are expected to
be realized.

      "Program contribution margin" is defined by the Company as revenues less
direct program expenses, goodwill, depreciation and other amortization expense,
but before program preopening costs, selling, general and administrative
expenses, interest and income taxes.  Program contribution margin, in general,
is lower in the initial stages of a program's development due to staffing
requirements to obtain licensing and other direct program expenses necessary
for the operation of the program.  The Company earns greater program
contribution margins under some contractual arrangements with unaffiliated
not-for-profit entities because, in certain of these arrangements, the
not-for-profit entity is responsible for some elements of operating the program
and, therefore, incurs some of the costs that are reimbursed to the
not-for-profit entity.  Accordingly, the amount of program contribution margin
earned by the Company depends in part on the nature and extent of the program
elements for which it is responsible and the size of the program.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

      In July, 1996, the Company purchased Youth Quest, Inc., a Utah
corporation, for $815,000 in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.
This program provides residential group care, therapeutic foster care, and
counseling services for approximately 100 youth.

      In July 1996, holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,750,000 of
Original Debentures (all of which were Regulation S Debentures) surrendered 
such Debentures for conversion and received in the aggregate 461,106 shares of
Common Stock. The Company paid approximately $250,000 to these holders in
connection with such early conversion.

      On May 24, 1996, the Company paid a stock dividend on its Common Stock
whereby each record holder received one share of Common Stock for every two
shares of Common Stock held by the record holder.

      Effective March 1, 1996, YSI acquired the business and certain assets of
Tampa Bay Academy, Ltd. ("Tampa Bay Academy") and a management agreement
contract with a related entity for approximately 4,223,000 in cash and the 
assumption of liabilities in the amount of $325,000.  Tampa Bay Academy is 
primarily a residential treatment center licensed for 104 youth. In connection
with this transaction, YSI entered into a lease of certain real property owned
by Tampa Bay Academy, Ltd. and acquired a mortgage rate on such property from
the lender for approximately $3,271,000.

      In January 1996, YSI commenced operation of a 45 bed juvenile boot camp
in Walters, Virginia under a contract with the Commonwealth of Virginia and the
City of Richmond for youth who have committed crimes or are considered at risk
of being ajudicated.

</TABLE>


NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

      Revenues.  Revenues increased $23,860,000, or 63.8%, to $61,276,000 for
the nine months  ended March 31, 1996 from $37,416,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995.  This increase in revenues reflects a full nine months of
operations for Parc Place, Promise House, and Tarkio Academy which were
acquired or opened during the nine months ended March 31, 1995; the operations
of DBC, Desert Hills of New Mexico, Woodward Academy, the Virginia boot camp
and Tampa Bay Academy which were acquired or opened subsequent to the nine
months ended March 31, 1995; management agreements with respect to Desert Hills
of Arizona, Desert Hills of Nevada, and College Station which the Company
entered into subsequent to the nine months ended March 31, 1995; and an
expanded student population at existing academies.  Revenues attributable to
programs that existed during the nine month period ended March 31, 1995
increased by $47,261,000, or 26.3%, for the nine months ended March 31, 1996
due to the increased average student population in these programs.

      Program Expenses.  Program expenses, including goodwill amortization,
increased $20,337,000, or 64.7%, to $51,758,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996 from $31,421,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  The
increase in program expenses reflects the increase in the number of programs
operated by the Company and the number of students in the Company's existing
programs.  Salaries and related employee benefits constituted approximately
65.7% of program expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
60.2% of program expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.
      
      Program Contribution Margin.  The program contribution margin earned by
the Company for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 was $9,518,000, or 15.5%
of revenues, compared to $5,995,000, or 16.0% of revenues, for the comparable
prior period.  The decrease is primarily due to the programs at College
Station, Texas, the Virginia boot camp and Woodward which were in the early
stages of operation during the period.

      Program Preopening Costs.  Program preopening costs for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 of $58,000 represent preopening costs related to the
opening of the Virginia boot camp.   Program preopening costs for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995 of $716,000 represent preopening costs related
primarily to the opening of Tarkio Academy.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  For the nine months ended
March 31, 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$1,064,000 to $4,046,000, or 6.6% of revenues, from $2,982,000, or 8.0% of
revenues, for the comparable prior period.  The most significant component of
these costs relates to the compensation expense associated with program and
business professionals necessary for the development and oversight of the
Company's programs and operations.  The decrease as a percentage of revenues
between periods is primarily attributable to the outsourcing of new business
development and the increase in revenue between periods.





                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>   19
      Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased to $1,335,000 from $162,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 from the comparable period in 1995.
This increase primarily resulted from increases in borrowings on the Company's
revolving line of credit to fund working capital needs, interest payable on the
debt incurred in connection with the acquisitions of DBC and Desert Hills New
Mexico, interest payable on the financing of the Company's personal property,
and interest payable on the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.

      Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $1,603,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 and $798,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1995.

      Net Income.  Net income increased $1,190,000 from $1,319,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995 to $2,509,000 for the same period this fiscal year.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

      Revenues.  Revenues increased $18,195,000, or 52.1%, to $53,087,000 for
fiscal 1995 from $34,892,000 for fiscal 1994.  This increase in revenues
primarily is the result of the acquisitions of Parc Place, Promise House and
DBC, the opening of Tarkio Academy, and expanded student populations at existing
academies.  Revenues for programs that existed in the prior year increased by
$9,854,000, or 28.3%, for fiscal 1995 primarily due to expansions resulting in
increased student populations in these programs.  Consulting services and other
revenue includes the accrual of a management fee in the amount of $600,000,
earned by the Company for management services provided to Introspect during the
period January 1 through June 30, 1995 pursuant to the terms of a Management
Agreement the Company entered into with Introspect on June 30, 1995.
      
      Program Expenses.  Salaries and related employee benefits constituted
approximately 64.1% of program operating expenses for fiscal 1995 compared to
67.1% of program operating expenses for fiscal 1994.  Program expenses
increased $15,138,000, or 50.8%, to $44,957,000 for fiscal 1995 from
$29,819,000 for fiscal 1994.  The increase in program expenses is attributable
to the increase in both the number of programs operated by the Company and the
number of students in the Company's existing programs.

      Program Contribution Margin.  The overall program contribution margin
earned by the Company for fiscal 1995 was $8,130,000, or 15.3% of revenues,
compared to $5,073,000, or 14.5% of revenues, for the prior year.  The fiscal
1995 contribution margin percentage increased as a result of increased margins
of $2,506,000, or 50.0%, at existing programs offset by operating losses of
$656,000 associated with Tarkio Academy during its first eight months of
operation as it was developing and expanding.

      Program Preopening Costs.  The increase in program preopening costs in
fiscal 1995 to $280,000 from $40,000 in fiscal 1994 resulted from additional
preopening costs related to the opening of Tarkio Academy of $260,000 and the
Woodward Academy of $20,000, which accepted its first student in July, 1995.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1,366,000 to $4,097,000, or 7.7% or
revenues, for fiscal 1995 from $2,731,000, or 7.8% of revenues, for fiscal
1994.  This increase was primarily due to the addition of staff to effectively
manage the increased number of programs the Company operated in fiscal 1995.

      Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $268,000 for fiscal 1995 compared
to $403,000 for fiscal 1994.  The decrease in interest expense during fiscal
1995 is due primarily to the repayment of debt associated with the acquisitions
of the Forest Ridge program and the Chamberlain and Springfield Academies near
the end of fiscal 1994.

      Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $1,332,000 for fiscal
1995 as compared to an income tax benefit of $140,000 for fiscal 1994.

      Net Income.  Net income increased $87,000 from $2,092,000 for fiscal 1994
to $2,179,000 for fiscal 1995.  The realization of net operating loss
carryforwards and other tax benefits favorably impacted net income for fiscal
1994, which,





                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>   20
on a fully-taxed basis, would have been approximately $1,230,000, or $.17 per
common and common equivalent share as compared to $2,179,000, or $.27 per
common and common equivalent share for fiscal 1995.


YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1993

      Revenues.  Revenues increased $25,997,000, or 292.3%, to $34,892,000 for
fiscal 1994 from $8,895,000 for fiscal 1993.  The increase in revenues is the
result of the addition of the Hickey School, and the acquisitions of YSI of
Utah, Chamberlain Academy, Springfield Academy and Western Youth  (which was
subsequently combined into YSI of Utah) during fiscal 1994, as well as the
increased number of students in each of the Company's programs in operation
during the fiscal year.  Revenues for programs which existed in the prior year
increased by $7,358,000, or 88.0%, for the year ended June 30, 1994.

      Program Expenses.  Program expenses increased $21,422,000, or 255.1%, to
$29,819,000 for fiscal 1994 from $8,397,000 for fiscal 1993.  Salaries and
related employee benefits constitute approximately 67.1% of program operating
expenses for fiscal years 1994 and 1993.  The increase in program expenses
reflects the increase in both the number of programs and the number of students
in the existing programs.

      Program Contribution Margin.  The overall program contribution margin
earned by the Company for fiscal 1994 was $5,073,000, or 14.5%, compared to
$498,000, or 5.6%, for the prior year.  This increase in program contribution
margin was a result of the addition and increased maturity of the Hickey
School, YSI of Utah, Chamberlain Academy, Springfield Academy and Western Youth
programs, as well as the increased number of students in the Company's existing
programs.

      Program Preopening Costs.  Program preopening costs for fiscal 1994 of
$40,000 represent costs related to the opening of Tarkio Academy.  Program
preopening costs for fiscal 1993 of $392,000 represent costs associated with
opening the Victor Cullen and Reflections programs in September 1992 and the
Hickey School program in July 1993.

      Selling, General and Administration Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1,136,000, or 71.2%, to $2,731,000 for
fiscal 1994 from $1,595,000 for fiscal 1993.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of program revenues to 7.8%
for fiscal 1994 from 17.9% for fiscal 1993 as a result of the addition of
substantial programs and program revenues during fiscal 1994 compared with a
relatively small amount of programs in operation during fiscal 1993.  Fiscal
1993 was the Company's first full year of operation after accepting its first
student and revenues were not substantial but selling and administrative
efforts were significant.

      Interest Expense.  Interest expense of $403,000 for fiscal 1994 relates
to short-term borrowings, loans obtained from banks and economic development
agencies to partially fund the start-up costs of the Company's operating
programs, interest related to capital leases, interest on the Company's
Subordinated Debentures and interest payable on the debt incurred in connection
with the acquisitions of Forest Ridge, Chamberlain and Springfield programs.

      Income Taxes.  The Company realized an income tax benefit of $140,000 for
fiscal 1994 due to the realization of certain net operating loss carryforwards.
No tax provision or benefit was recorded for fiscal 1993 due to operating
losses of $1,671,000 for the year.

      Net Income.  Net income for fiscal 1994 was $2,092,000 as compared to a
net operating loss of $1,671,000 for fiscal 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At March 31, 1996, the Company had $24,781,000 in cash, cash equivalents
and investments available for sale and working capital of $35,522,000.  Net
cash provided by operating activities was $3,271,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $478,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.





                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>   21
      Approximately $27,346,000 was invested during the nine months ended March
31,1996 of which approximately $10,112,000 was invested in liquid securities,
$4,246,000 was used to fund the Tampa Bay Academy acquisition and the purchase
of a related mortgage note receivable, $3,400,000 was used to fund the
acquisition of Desert Hills New Mexico and the transactions with Introspect
with respect to Desert Hills Arizona and Desert Hills Nevada (including costs
incurred therewith), $2,827,000 of deferred financing costs were incurred in
connection with the offering of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due
2006 and $1,000,000 was advanced under the line of credit facility
provided to Introspect. The remaining approximately $5,761,000 of investments
were made in leasehold improvements, vehicles, computer equipment and other
capital expenditures in support of operating activities of existing programs
compared to $5,106,000 invested during the prior year.  Capital expenditures
during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 include approximately $758,000 of
costs incurred in the construction of 116 additional beds at Clarinda Academy,
approximately $285,000 of costs incurred in the construction and renovation of
additional beds and classrooms at Tarkio Academy, approximately $123,000 of
costs incurred in the construction of additional beds and classrooms at various
other facilities at Woodward Academy, approximately $114,000 of costs incurred
in the construction and renovation of the Virginia boot camp, approximately
$249,000 of costs incurred in the renovation of additional beds and classrooms
at various other facilities, and approximately $261,000 of costs incurred in
renovations to the corporate conference center and offices.
      
      The Company funded its cash needs with short-term and long-term
borrowings, cash generated from existing programs and funds raised from the 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debt Offering.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $8,500,000 of credit available on its existing bank revolving
line of credit.

      Total debt of $50,996,000 on March 31, 1996 consisted primarily of
$37,950,000 of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2006, $3,250,000 for 
a note payable in connection with the Tampa Bay acquisition, $2,200,000
for a capital lease for the Company's personal property, $2,200,000 for a
capital lease assumed in the acquisition of Desert Hills of New Mexico,
$1,731,000 for a consulting note payable in connection with the Desert Hills
transaction and $981,000 of 12% subordinated debentures.

      The Company believes the funds raised in its recent 7% Convertible
Subordinated Debt Offering and funds available under its revolving line of
credit, together with existing capital resources and cash flow from its
existing operations, will be sufficient to meet all indebtedness payments, to
make all planned capital additions and improvements and meet other working
capital needs for the next twelve months.

      The Company had restricted cash of $517,000 as of March 31, 1996, of
which $389,000 was restricted pursuant to the Victor Cullen Academy contract
which provides for the payment of $5.00 per student per day to be deposited
equally into a facility renewal and equipment fund and an aftercare fund uses
of which are subject to the advance budgetary approval of the State of Maryland
Department of Juvenile Justice.  Any residual funds, as well as any fixed
assets or capital improvements purchased from these funds, revert to the State
of Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice upon contract termination.

      The Company's collection experience on accounts receivable continues to
be favorable.  The Company receives monthly payments in advance under the
Hickey School contract.

      The increase in net accounts receivable of $6,332,000, as well as the
increase in accounts payable and accrued expense of $2,251,000, from June 30,
1995 to March 31, 1996 is primarily attributable to the addition of the Desert
Hills, Woodward, Virginia and Tampa Bay programs, the expansion of the Tarkio
program and the increased number of students in the Company's other programs.

      The increase in notes receivable of $4,273,000 from June 30, 1995, to
March 31, 1996, is attributable to the purchase of a $3,273,000 mortgage note
receivable in connection with the acquisition of Tampa Bay Academy and the
advancing of $1,000,000 under the line of credit facility provided to
Introspect Healthcare Corporation.


                                  THE COMPANY

      The Company is a leading national provider of private educational,
developmental and rehabilitative programs focusing on troubled youths who
either have been adjudicated as delinquents or suffer from behavioral problems.
The Company develops and operates a wide range of programs designed to promote
accountability, respect and discipline





                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>   22
through highly structured, physically demanding, intensely scheduled and
intellectually challenging activities.  In conjunction with these programs, the
Company offers troubled youths a broad range of residential services including
juvenile justice academies, residential treatment centers, boot camps, group
homes and foster homes, as well as non-residential services including
aftercare, tracking, counseling, partial care and day treatment services.  As
of March 31, 1996, the Company operated 18 residential programs serving
approximately 2,100 enrolled students and conducted non-residential programs
serving approximately 1,800 additional youths.  The youths served by the
Company are drawn from 36 states.

      Since its formation in 1991, the Company has expanded its base of
operations through a combination of internal and external growth by expanding
program offerings, increasing student capacity at existing facilities,
developing new programs in response to privatization opportunities, and by
acquiring complimentary programs and businesses.  The Company has experienced
significant revenue and earnings growth with revenues increasing from $8.9
million to $53.1 million and net income increasing from a loss of $1.7 million
to net income of $2.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1993 and June
30, 1995, respectively.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company
reported revenues of $61.3 million and net income of $2.5 million, reflecting
increases of approximately 64% and 90%, respectively, over performance in the
same period in fiscal year 1995.

*     Concurrent with the Acquisition of Desert Hills, New Mexico, the Company
entered into a five-year management contract to operate the Desert Hills
Arizona program.





                                     - 20 -

      In addition, the Company provides non-residential programs and services
at some of the Company's residential facilities including aftercare, tracking,
consulting, partial care and day treatment services.  The Company's Desert
Hills Arizona program also includes the case management of approximately
1,600 youths pursuant to a managed care contract.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

      The Company offers programs designed to address the multiple needs of
troubled youths.  The foundation of the Company's programs incorporates
modification concepts and societal norms such as:  positive peer culture;
thinking and behavior change; attendance at fully accredited educational
programs; vocational training (the "World of Work" program); life skills;
athletics; and public safety.  Upon referral to the Company, an individual
development/treatment plan is designed for each youth.  The fundamental Company
program is offered in each of the following facilities or settings:

      Program Facilities and Settings

            Residential Juvenile Justice Academies ("Academy")    Academies
typically house troubled youths who are 14 to 18 years old and who have been
adjudicated delinquent or are considered at risk of being adjudicated
delinquent.  These facilities range from medium security residential academies
to high security facilities for serious offenders.  The average length of stay
in an Academy typically ranges from 6 to 24 months.  The goal of the  programs
offered in the Academy environment is to change dramatically the thinking and
behavior of the students and to provide them with the skills required to
continue their education or training successfully, obtain employment and
eventually become self-sufficient taxpayers.  In addition, the Company offers
several specialized programs at selected academies, including High Impact, Boot
Camps, Sex Offender and Detention programs.

            Residential Treatment Centers ("RTCs")    RTC's typically house
youths aged 11 through 18 with a variety of behavioral and/or mental problems
including chemical dependency, mental handicaps and emotional disturbance.
While certain of the Company's RTC facilities offer acute inpatient care, most
of its RTC facilities generally offer a range of less costly and lower acuity
care services as compared to more traditional forms of behavioral health
services.  Students at RTC's can receive a wide range of services, ranging from
preventative care and outpatient counseling to intensive psychiatric treatment.
In addition, the Company offers several specialized programs at selected RTC
facilities, including Emergency Shelter, Sex Offender, Substance Abuse and
Long-Term Shelter.

            Residential Community-Based Facilities    These facilities offer
behavioral health services to troubled youths in group homes, foster homes and
independent living facilities.  Community-based group homes are staffed 24
hours a day with youth care professionals and usually house 5 to 6 children.

            Non-Residential Community-Based Programs    These programs are
designed to assist those students who have committed a minor offense and are
capable of being treated in his/her own community and those who have graduated
from Company facilities seeking to transition back into their communities.
These non-residential programs include tracking and counseling services,
partial care and day treatment programs, prevention classes and aftercare.

      Specialized Programs

            The Company also offers various specialized programs to compliment
the range of services offered at select facilities.  These programs are
generally shorter term in nature and are designed to motivate a dramatic change
in behavior and attitude on the part of its students.  These programs range
among the following:

            Sex Offender programs serve the special needs of youths involved in
sexual offenses.  The programs are generally locked-secure and involve lengths
of stay from 12 to 24 months.

            High Impact programs immerse youths who have failed or performed
below expectations in non-residential settings in a 30 to 90 day intense
regimen of academic classes, physically demanding activities and group therapy.





                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>   24
            Boot Camp programs are similar to High Impact programs and are
conducted in a military format including uniforms and drills.

            Detention programs are designed to house youths for periods of 1 to
90 days as they await disposition of court cases or determinations of
placement.  The Company's assessments of students in detention programs are
often used by courts and other placement authorities in making placement
decisions.

            Emergency Shelter programs serve troubled youths who are in need of
temporary residential facilities due to the lack of a home or other family
circumstances.  The lengths of stay are generally short term, from 1 to 3
months.  These programs are similar to Detention programs except that the
youths are not adjudicated or accused of a crime.

            Substance Abuse programs serve the special needs of youths that are
suffering, or in danger of suffering, from drug or alcohol addiction.

            Long-Term Shelter programs offer housing services to those youths
who are wards of the State or who have been removed from their own home by
child protective services.  This program is an alternative to the traditional
orphanage or large welfare institution.

      The executive officers and directors of the Company are as follows:

150,000 stock options.  Mr. Black, Mr. Davis, Mr. Kanter, Mr. Ferris and Dr.
Hindman each were granted 7,500 stock options during the fiscal year

During the last completed fiscal year, the Organization & Compensation
Committee was comprised of Messrs. Black, Davis, Marshall and Schlenger, none
of whom is or has been an officer or employee of the Company.

      SEVERANCE BENEFITS AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS

      The Company has entered into non-competition and change in control or
severance benefits agreements with Messrs. Hindman, Felton and McCusker. The
agreements with Messrs. Hindman and Felton include provisions that restrict the
executive officer from engaging in activities which are competitive with the
business conducted by the Company for a three-year period commencing February
1, 1994 and for a two-year period following any termination of the executive
officer's employment with the Company during that three-year period, regardless
of whether the termination arises in connection with any change in control.

      In exchange for the agreements not to compete with the Company, these
agreements also provide for the payment by the Company of certain specified
benefits in the event the employment of such executive officer terminates under
certain circumstances following any change in control of the Company. For
purposes of these agreements, a change in control is deemed to take place
whenever (i) a person, group of persons or other entities shall become the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company having
20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding
securities, (ii) there shall be certain significant changes in the composition
of the Company's Board of Directors, (iii)the Company enters into an agreement
that would result in a change in control, or (iv) the shareholders of the
Company approve certain extraordinary transactions.

      Circumstances triggering payment of the specified benefits to an
executive officer under his agreement include (i) involuntary termination of
employment (for reasons other than death, disability, retirement or cause) or
(ii) voluntary termination by the employee in the event of certain significant
changes in the nature of his employment, including certain reductions made in
compensation and changes in responsibilities and authority.  Benefits made
available to the executive employee under the terms of the agreements in the
event that his employment is terminated under the above-specified circumstances
may include (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to three times the sum of
the employee's annual base salary, (ii) maintenance of all life, disability,
accident and health insurance substantially similar to those benefits to which
the employee was entitled immediately prior to termination for a period of
three additional years, (iii) certain additional payments to cover any excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iv)
reimbursement of legal fees and expenses, if any, incurred as a result of such
termination.

      The agreements may have the effect of discouraging takeovers and
protecting such officers from removal, since such agreements increase the cost
that would be incurred by an acquiring company seeking to replace current
management.

      The Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Pappas in May 1995 in
connection with his resignation as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and as
a director.  Pursuant to such agreement, Mr.Pappas was compensated $100,000
through February 1996, was provided certain health insurance coverage and
medical benefits by the Company through that date, was reimbursed approximately
$5,000 for legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with his resignation
and was granted the right to exercise his stock options through February 29,
1996.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      In the Company's initial public offering in February 1994, Ferris, Baker
Watts, Incorporated was the principal underwriter and received underwriting
discounts and commissions of $0.47 per share for an aggregate of $910,000.
George M. Ferris, Jr., a director of the Company, serves as the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, and is a 30% shareholder of Ferris, Baker Watts,
Incorporated.  Mr. Ferris was a nominee for director of the Company at the time
of the Company's initial public offering.

      Pursuant to a private placement transaction in 1993, the Company sold
shares of its Common Stock to, among others, J. Donald Black, a director of the
Company, who purchased 30,000 shares at $2.00 per share for an aggregate
purchase price of $60,000.

      Dixie L. Hindman, the wife of W. James Hindman, and Cynthia K. Hindman, a
director of the Company and daughter of Mr. Hindman, made loans to the Company
in 1993 in the amount of $157,500 and $52,500, respectively.  The loans carried
interest at the rate of 10% per annum, were secured by certain equipment owned
by the Company, and were repaid in full in February 1994.

      Effective on the close of business June 30, 1995, the Company acquired 
Desert Hills New Mexico from Introspect.  In addition, the Company was
granted an option for a period of five years to purchase all of the outstanding
capital stock of Introspect and entered into a Management Agreement to manage
the business of Introspect and certain of its affiliates for a period of five
years.  The Company also entered into a $1,000,000 Discretionary Line of Credit
Agreement with Introspect pursuant to which the Company in its discretion may
extend credit to Introspect at an annual interest rate equal to 2% over the
prime rate of interest. Fletcher J. McCusker, who is an executive officer of
the Company, was the chief executive officer and a director of Introspect
before joining the Company in connection with the transactions described above
and is a stockholder of Diversification Association, Inc., the parent company
of Introspect.  Mr. McCusker was not a director, officer or otherwise
affiliated with the Company at the time the Company entered into these
arrangements.

      In August 1995, the Company entered into a Lease with W. J. Hindman and
Dixie L. Hindman pursuant to which the Company leased from the Hindmans certain
property owned by the Hindmans and constructed on the leased property a
conference center and an apartment facility that is available for use by the
Company.  The improvements on the property were constructed at the sole cost
and expense of the Company.  The Company is responsible for payment of all
utilities used by the Company on the leased premises and is required to keep in
effect at its own expense public liability insurance in an amount not less than
$1,000,000 and employer's liability insurance in an amount not less than
$100,000.  The Company is authorized to use the leased premises for the
operation of a conference and meeting center for employees and guests of the
Company.  The term of the Lease is five years from the time of completion of
the improvements and may be extended at the Company's option for an additional
five-year period.  During the original five-year term of the Lease, the Company
will not be required to pay any rent to the Hindmans.  However, the Hindmans
will receive the benefit of the improvements on their property, and the Company
will surrender to the Hindmans, at the expiration of the Lease, the leased
premises as improved pursuant to the Lease.  The Company estimates that the
value of the improvements to the Hindmans' property is approximately $200,000.

      The Company believes that the terms of the transactions it has engaged in
with directors and officers are no less favorable to the Company than the terms
that would have been available to the Company from unaffiliated third parties.
These transactions were ratified by the independent outside members of the
Company's Board of Directors who do not have an interest in such transactions.
In connection with this ratification, the Board of Directors determined that
such transactions were fair and reasonable to the Company





                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>   33
and confirmed the Company's policy that any future related party transactions
may be consummated only if such transactions are on terms as favorable to the
Company as terms that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and if
such transactions are approved by a majority of the independent outside members
of the Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the transaction.


                    DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE OFFER DEBENTURES

      The Exchange Offer Debentures will be issued under and entitled to the
benefits of the Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of ________, 1996, by and
between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. as trustee (the
"Trustee").

      The following statements under this heading are summaries of the detailed
provisions of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Indenture, copies of which
will be available for inspection at the office of the Trustee in New York City.
Such statements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Indenture.  The
definition of certain terms used in the following summary are set forth below
under "-- Certain Definitions."

      The Exchange Offer Debentures and the Indenture will not limit the amount
of other indebtedness that may be incurred or securities that may be issued by
the Company or its subsidiaries and contain no financial covenants or similar
restrictions with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries and, therefore,
holders of the Exchange Offer Debentures will have no protection (other than
their rights upon an Event of Default as described in "--Events of Default"
below) from adverse changes in the Company's financial condition.

PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST

      The Exchange Offer Debentures are limited in the aggregate principal
amount to $32,200,000 and will mature on February 1, 2006.  The Exchange Offer
Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in
arrears on each February 1 and August 1.  Interest on the Exchange Offer
Debentures accrues from the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance.  Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months.  The interest payable on each February 1 and August 1 will amount to
$35.00 per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Offer Debentures.

SUBORDINATION

      The Exchange Offer Debentures are subordinate in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and its
subsidiaries.  As of March 31, 1996, there was approximately $12.1 million of
Senior Indebtedness.   The Company has a bank revolving line of credit of up to
$10,000,000 that bears interest at a variable rate based upon, at the option of
the Company, the prime rate of interest or 2.25% above LIBOR.  The Exchange
Offer Debentures do not limit the ability of the Company or its subsidiaries to
incur secured indebtedness or other Senior Indebtedness (including any
borrowings under such line of credit) or to contribute assets to its
subsidiaries.  The Company's rights as a stockholder and the rights of its
creditors, including holders of the Exchange Offer Debentures, to participate
in the assets of any of the Company's subsidiaries upon a subsidiary's
liquidation or recapitalization would be subject to the prior claims of such
subsidiary's creditors.

      The Exchange Offer Debentures are obligations exclusively of the Company
and not of its subsidiaries.  Because the operations of the Company are
currently conducted through subsidiaries, the cash flow and the consequent
ability to service debt of the Company, including the Exchange Offer
Debentures, are dependent,





                                     - 31 -
<PAGE>   34
in part, upon the earnings of its subsidiaries and the distribution of those
earnings to the Company or upon loans or other payments of funds by those
subsidiaries to the Company.  The subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal
entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts
due pursuant to the Exchange Offer Debentures or to make any funds available
therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments.  In addition, the
payment of dividends and the making of loans and advances to the Company by its
subsidiaries may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions, are
contingent upon the earnings of those subsidiaries and are subject to various
business considerations.

      The Exchange Offer Debentures are effectively subordinate to all
indebtedness and other liabilities, including current liabilities and
commitments under leases, if any, of the Company's subsidiaries.  Any right of
the Company to receive assets of any of its subsidiaries upon liquidation or
reorganization of the subsidiary (and the consequent right of the holders of
the Exchange Offer Debentures to participate in those assets) are effectively
subordinate to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent
that the Company is itself recognized as a creditor of such subsidiary, in
which case the claims of the Company would still be subject to any security
interests in the assets of such subsidiary and subordinated to any indebtedness
of such subsidiary senior to that held by the Company.

CONVERSION RIGHTS

      The Exchange Offer Debentures may be converted at any time on or after
the effective date of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part filed by the Company with the Commission.  The right to convert Exchange
Offer Debentures called for redemption will terminate at the close of business
on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption, and
will be lost if not exercised prior to that time, even if such redemption
occurs at a time when conversion of the Exchange Offer Debentures is in the
best interests of the holders.  The price at which Conversion Shares shall be
delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") is currently
$12.47 per Conversion Share.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in
certain instances as provided in paragraph (c) of Section 4 of the Exchange
Offer Debentures.

      The right of conversion attaching to any Debenture may be exercised by
the holder by delivering the Debenture at the specified office of the Trustee,
accompanied by a duly signed and completed notice of conversion. The conversion
date shall be the date on which the Debenture and the duly signed and completed
notice of conversion shall have been delivered.  A holder delivering a
Debenture for conversion will not be required to pay any taxes or duties
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion but
will be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue or delivery of the Common Stock in a name other
than that of the holder of the Debenture.  Certificates representing shares of
Common Stock will not be issued or delivered unless all taxes and duties, if
any, payable by the holder have been paid.  Such certificates will be delivered
to the address specified by the holder in his completed notice of conversion.

      The conversion price will be subject to adjustment in certain events,
including (a) dividends (and other distributions) payable in Common Stock on
any class of capital stock of the Company, (b) the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of rights or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock at less than the then current market price (as determined in
accordance with the Exchange Offer Debentures) unless holders of Exchange Offer
Debentures are entitled to receive the same upon conversion, (c) subdivisions,
combinations and reclassifications of Common Stock, and (d) distributions to
all holders of Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness of the Company or
assets (including securities, but excluding those rights, warrants, dividends
and distributions referred to above and dividends and distributions paid in
cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and regular quarterly
dividends consistent with past practice).  In addition to the foregoing
adjustments, the Company will be permitted to make such downward adjustments in
the conversion price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event
treated for United





                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>   35
States Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will
not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock.  Adjustments in the conversion
price of less than $.25 will not be required, but any adjustment that would
otherwise be required to be made will be taken into account in the computation
of any subsequent adjustment.  Fractional shares of Common Stock are not to be
issued or delivered upon conversion, but, in lieu thereof, a cash adjustment
will be paid based upon the then current market price of Common Stock.  Subject
to the foregoing, no payments or adjustments will be made upon conversion on
account of accrued interest on the Exchange Offer Debentures or for any
dividends or distributions on any shares of Common Stock delivered upon such
conversion.  Notice of any adjustment of the conversion price will be given in
the manner set forth herein under "--Notices."

      If at any time the Company makes a distribution of property to its
stockholders that would be taxable to such stockholders as a dividend for
United States Federal income tax purposes (e.g., distribution of evidences of
indebtedness or assets of the Company, but generally not stock dividends or
rights to subscribe for Common Stock) and, pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of the Exchange Offer Debentures, the conversion price of the
Exchange Offer Debentures is reduced, such reduction may be deemed to be the
payment of a taxable dividend to holders of Exchange Offer Debentures.  Such a
deemed dividend might be subject to a 30% or then applicable United States
withholding tax unless the holder is entitled to a reduction of the tax under a
tax treaty.

      In the event that the Company should merge with another company, become a
party to a consolidation or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to
another company, each Debenture then outstanding would, without the consent of
any holder, become convertible only into the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon the merger, consolidation or transfer
by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Debenture
might have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or
transfer.

REDEMPTION

      Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled by the
Company, the Exchange Offer Debentures will mature on February 1, 2006 and
shall be redeemed at their principal amount.

      Optional Redemption

      The Exchange Offer Debentures may be redeemed, at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part at any time on or after February 1, 1999 at a
redemption price equal to that percentage of their principal amount set forth
below, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for
redemption, upon notice as described below:

</TABLE>

In the event of a partial redemption, the Exchange Offer Debentures to be
redeemed will be selected by the Trustee not more than 75 days before the date
fixed for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate.

      The Exchange Offer Debentures may be redeemed, as a whole but not in
part, upon notice as described below, at the option of the Company at any time,
if the Company shall determine that as a result of any





                                     - 33 -
<PAGE>   36
change in or amendment to the laws or any regulations or rulings of the United
States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or thereon
affecting taxation, or any amendment to, or change in, an official application
or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which amendment or
change is announced or becomes effective on or after January 29, 1996, the
Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the Exchange
Offer Debentures, as described below under "--Payment of Additional Amounts,"
and such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures
available to it; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given
earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be
obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the
Exchange Offer Debentures then due; and provided further, that at the time such
notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in
effect.  In case of any such redemption, the redemption price will be 100% of
the principal amount of the Exchange Offer Debentures, together in each case
with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption.  The Company
is required to deliver to the Trustee a certificate stating that the Company is
entitled to effect such redemption and that the conditions precedent to the
right of the Company to redeem the Exchange Offer Debentures have accrued and
an opinion of counsel stating that the legal conditions precedent to the right
of the Company to effect such redemption have occurred.

      Mandatory Redemption

      Except as set forth in the two preceding paragraphs and except as set
forth under "Change of Control" below, the Company is not required to make
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Exchange
Offer Debentures.

      Notice of intention to redeem the Exchange Offer Debentures will be given
as described under "--Notices" below.  In the case of redemption of all
Exchange Offer Debentures, notice will be given once not more than 60 nor less
than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.  In the case of a partial
redemption, notice will be given twice, the first such notice to be given not
more than 60 nor less than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption and
the second such notice to be given not more than 45 nor less than 30 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption.

      Notices of redemption will specify the date fixed for redemption, the
applicable redemption price, the date the conversion privilege expires and, in
the case of a partial redemption, the aggregate principal amount of the
Exchange Offer Debentures to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of
the Exchange Offer Debentures that will be outstanding after such partial
redemption.  In addition, in the case of a partial redemption, the first notice
will specify the last date on which exchanges or transfers of the Exchange
Offer Debentures may be made and the second notice will specify the serial
numbers of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the portions thereof called for
redemption.

      In addition, the Company may at any time and from time to time repurchase
the Exchange Offer Debentures in the open market or in private transactions at
prices it considers attractive.  The Exchange Offer Debentures repurchased by
the Company will be cancelled.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Each holder of a Debenture will have the right, at such holder's option,
to cause the Company to purchase such Debenture, in whole but not in part, for
a cash amount equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued
interest to the repurchase date, if a Designated Event (as defined below)
occurs or has occurred.  Notice with respect to the occurrence of a Designated
Event will be given as described under "--Notices" below and not later than 30
days after the Exchange Date or the date of the occurrence of such





                                     - 34 -
<PAGE>   37
Designated Event.  Such notice shall include, among other things, the
redemption price, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that
payment will be made upon presentation of the Exchange Offer Debentures to be
redeemed; that interest accrued will be paid as specified in such notice; and
that on or after said date interest will cease to accrue; and that a holder
electing to revoke its election of redemption by delivering a written notice of
such revocation, together with the holder's non-transferable receipt for such
Exchange Offer Debentures, to the place of redemption not later than the date
fixed for such purpose.  The date fixed for such purchase will be a date not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days after notice of occurrence of a Designated
Event is given (except as otherwise required by 60 days after notice of the
occurrence of a Designated Event is given (except as otherwise required by
law).  Upon delivery of such notice, the holder submitting such notice shall
forfeit the conversion rights with respect to such Debenture.  To be purchased,
a Debenture must be received with a duly executed written notice, substantially
in the form provided on the reverse side of such Debenture, at the office of
the Trustee not later than the fifth day prior to the date fixed for such
purchase.  All Exchange Offer Debentures purchased by the Company will be
cancelled.  Holders who have tendered a notice of purchase will be entitled to
revoke their election by delivering a written notice of such revocation to the
Trustee on or prior to the Holder Redemption Date.  In addition, holders of the
Exchange Offer Debentures will retain the right to require such Exchange Offer
Debentures to be converted into Common Stock (or other securities, property or
cash, payable in lieu thereof by reference to the adjustment price as provided
under the adjustment provision.  See "--Conversion") prior to the purchase
date, so long as notice to that effect, including the holder's nontransferable
receipt for the Exchange Offer Debentures from the Trustee, is delivered on or
prior to the close of business on the day prior to the purchase date to the
Trustee.

      A "Designated Event" shall be deemed to have occurred, subject to the
provisions below, upon the consummation of a purchase, merger, acquisition,
transfer or transaction or series of transactions involving a "Change of
Control" as defined below.

      The Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other
tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable and will
file a Schedule 13E-4 or any other schedule required thereunder in connection
with any offer by the Company to purchase Exchange Offer Debentures at the
option of holders upon a Change of Control.  The Change of Control purchase
feature of the Exchange Offer Debentures may in certain circumstances make more
difficult or discourage certain mergers, tender offers and other takeover
attempts involving the Company.  The Change of Control provisions will not
prevent a leveraged buyout led by the Company's management, a recapitalization
of the Company or change in a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
that is approved by the then-present Board of Directors.  With respect to the
sale of assets, the phrase "all or substantially all" varies according to the
facts and circumstances of the subject transaction and is subject to judicial
interpretation.  The Company believes that such a sale would be one that
requires the vote or concurrence of its stockholders.  Accordingly, in certain
circumstances it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred.
The determination of whether a Change of Control has occurred is a
determination based on the facts and circumstances of the subject transaction.
The Change of Control purchase feature is not, however, the result of
management's knowledge of any specific efforts to accumulate shares of Common
Stock or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer,
solicitation of proxies or consents or otherwise, or part of a plan to
implement a series of anti-takeover measures.

      The Company, could, in the future, enter into certain transactions,
including certain recapitalizations of the Company, that would not constitute a
Change of Control under the Indenture, but that would increase the amount of
Senior Indebtedness (or any other indebtedness) outstanding at such time.
There are no restrictions in the Indenture on the creation of additional Senior
Indebtedness (or any other indebtedness), and, under certain circumstances, the
incurrence of significant amounts of additional indebtedness could have an
adverse effect on the Company's ability to service its indebtedness, including
the Exchange Offer Debentures.  If such a Change of Control were to occur,
there can be no assurance that the Company would





                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>   38
have sufficient funds at the time of such event to pay the Change of Control
purchase price for all Exchange Offer Debentures tendered by the holders
thereof.  A default by the Company on its obligation to pay the Change of
Control purchase price could, pursuant to cross-default provisions, result in
acceleration of the payment of other indebtedness of the Company outstanding at
that time.

      Certain of the Company's existing and future agreements relating to their
indebtedness could prohibit the purchase by the Company of the Exchange Offer
Debentures pursuant to the exercise by a Debenture holder of the foregoing
option, depending on the financial circumstances of the Company at the time any
such purchase may occur, because such purchase could cause a breach of certain
covenants contained in such agreements.  Such a breach may constitute an event
of default under such indebtedness and thereby restrict the Company's ability
to purchase the Exchange Offer Debentures.  See "--Subordination."

PAYMENTS, PAYING AGENTS AND CONVERSION AGENTS

      The Exchange Offer Debentures may be surrendered for conversion or
exchange at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York City or, at
the option of the holder and subject to applicable laws and regulations, at the
office of any of the conversion agents, if any.

      The Company has initially appointed the Trustee as paying agent and
conversion agent.  This appointment may be terminated at any time and
additional or other paying and conversion agents may be appointed, provided
that until the Exchange Offer Debentures have been delivered for cancellation,
or monies sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on the Exchange Offer Debentures have been made available for payment and
either paid or returned to the Company as provided in the Indenture, a paying,
conversion and transfer agent will be maintained in New York City for the
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and for the surrender of
Exchange Offer Debentures for conversion.  Notice of any such termination or
appointment and of any change in the office through which any paying,
conversion or transfer agent will act will be given in accordance with
"Notices" below.

      All monies paid by the Company to the Trustee for the payment of
principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Debenture that remain
unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have
become due and payable will be repaid to the Company, and the holder of such
Debenture will thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof.


PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

      The Company will pay to the holder of any Debenture who is a United
States Alien (as defined below) such additional amounts ("Additional Amounts")
as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, of and interest on such Debenture, and any cash payments made
in lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a Debenture, after
withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or
governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United
States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein,
will not be less than the amount provided for in such Debenture to be then due
and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations to pay
Additional Amounts shall not apply to any one or more of the following:

            (a)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
      not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or
      former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
      beneficiary, member of such holder, or a person holding a power over,
      such holder, if such holder is an estate or trust, partnership or
      corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such
      holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, stockholder or
      person holding a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or
      treated as a resident thereof or being or having been





                                     - 36 -
<PAGE>   39
      engaged in a trade or business therein or being or having been present
      therein or having had a permanent establishment therein, (ii) such
      holder's present or former status as a personal holding company, foreign
      personal holding company, passive foreign investment company, foreign
      private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt entity, or controlled
      foreign corporation for United States tax purposes or a corporation which
      accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax, or (iii)
      such holder's status as a bank extending credit pursuant to a loan
      agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business;

            (b)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
      not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the holder of such
      Debenture for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which
      such payment became due and payable or on the date on which payment
      thereof is duly provided, whichever occurs later;

            (c)  any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
      property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

            (d)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
      not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
      information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the
      nationality, residence, identity or present or former connection with the
      United States of the holder or beneficial owner of such Debenture if such
      compliance is required by statute, regulation or ruling of the United
      States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof as a
      precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other
      governmental charge;

            (e)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
      payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments of
      principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Debenture;

            (f)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on
      interest received by a person holding, actually or constructively, 10
      percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
      stock of the Company entitled to vote; or

            (g)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to
      be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of, or
      premium, if any, or interest on any Debenture if such payment can be made
      without such withholding by any other paying agent;

nor will Additional Amounts be paid with respect to payment of the principal
of, or premium, if any or interest on any such Debenture (or cash in lieu of
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion) to a person other than the
sole beneficial owner of such payment, or that is a partnership or a fiduciary,
to the extent such beneficial owner, member of such partnership or beneficiary
or settlor with respect to such fiduciary would not have been entitled to the
Additional Amounts had such beneficial owner, member, beneficiary or settlor
been the holder of such Debenture.


EVENTS OF DEFAULT

      An Event of Default with respect to the Exchange Offer Debentures will be
any one of the following events:  (a) default in any payment when due of the
principal of any such Debenture, (b) default for 30 days in the payment of any
installment of interest or any required payment of any Additional Amounts on
any such Debenture, (c) default for 60 days after appropriate notice in the
performance of any other covenant of the Company in the Exchange Offer
Debentures or the Indenture with respect to such Exchange Offer Debentures, (d)
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or (e) acceleration
of, or failure to pay when due upon maturity, any indebtedness for money
borrowed by the Company as to which the Company has at





                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>   40
least $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding,
which acceleration is not rescinded or annulled or which failure is not cured
within 30 days after notice of acceleration or after such failure, as the case
may be.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any holder of
any such Debenture may, at its option, declare the principal of and accrued
interest on such Debenture to be immediately due and payable.


CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS

      The Company may consolidate with, merge into or sell or convey all or
substantially all of its property to, another corporation without the consent
of holders of the Exchange Offer Debentures provided that the successor
corporation assumes all obligations of the Company under the Exchange Offer
Debentures and under the Indenture and, provided further, that if such
successor corporation is not organized under the laws of the United States or
any political subdivision thereof or therein, such successor corporation agrees
to make payments on the Exchange Offer Debentures without deduction or
withholding for any and all then existing or future withholding taxes, levies,
imposts or charges whatsoever imposed by or for the account of the jurisdiction
where such successor corporation is generally subject to taxation or any
political subdivision or taxing authority therein, subject to certain
exceptions and, provided further, that certain other conditions are met.  Upon
compliance with these provisions by a successor corporation, the Company would
be relieved of its obligations under the Exchange Offer Debentures and under
the Indenture.  Therefore, if such conditions are satisfied, the Company may
consolidate with, merge into or sell or convey its property to the other
corporation.  Under certain circumstances described above involving a Change of
Control, each holder of Exchange Offer Debentures may have the right to require
the Company to purchase such Exchange Offer Debentures.  See "--Change of
Control."

MEETINGS, MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

      The Indenture will contain provisions for convening meetings of the
holders of Exchange Offer Debentures to consider matters affecting their
interests.

      The Indenture (including the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer
Debentures) may be modified or amended by the Company and the Trustee, without
the consent of the holder of any Debenture, for the purposes of (a) adding to
the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of Exchange Offer
Debentures or surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Company, (b)
providing for the conversion and redemption rights of holders of Exchange Offer
Debentures in the event of a consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all
of the assets of the Company, (c) curing any ambiguity or correcting or
supplementing any defective provision contained in the Indenture, (d) making
any other provisions that the Company and the Trustee may deem necessary or
desirable, and that will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of
Exchange Offer Debentures, or (e) evidencing the succession of another
corporation to the Company and the assumption by any successor of the covenants
of the Company in the Indenture or the Exchange Offer Debentures.

      Modifications and amendments to the Indenture or to the terms and
conditions of the Exchange Offer Debentures may also be made and any past
default by the Company may be waived, either with the written consent of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Exchange Offer Debentures at the time outstanding (excluding for purposes of
such calculation the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Offer Debentures
held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries) or by the adoption of a
resolution, at a meeting of holders of the Exchange Offer Debentures at which a
quorum (as defined below) is present and acting throughout, by not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Offer Debentures present
or represented at such meeting (excluding for purposes of such calculation the
aggregate principal amount of Exchange Offer Debentures held by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries);





                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>   41
provided, however, that the amount approving such resolution is not less than
25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Offer Debentures then
outstanding (excluding for purposes of such calculation the aggregate principal
amount of Exchange Offer Debentures held by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries); and provided further that no such modification or amendment to
the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer Debentures may, without the
consent or the affirmative vote of the holder of each Debenture affected
thereby (a) waive a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, or
any installment of interest on any such Debenture; (b) change the stated
maturity of the principal or premium, if any, or any installment of interest on
any such Debenture; (c) reduce the principal amount of or any premium payable
upon redemption of or interest on any such Debenture; (d) change the obligation
of the Company to pay Additional Amounts as described above (except as
otherwise permitted by the Exchange Offer Debentures); (e) change the currency
of payment of such Debenture or interest thereon; (f) adversely affect the
right to convert or redeem any such Debenture; (g) modify the obligations of
the Company to maintain an office or agency in New York City and outside the
United States; (h) modify the subordination provisions of the Exchange Offer
Debentures in a manner adverse to the holders of Exchange Offer Debentures; (i)
reduce the requirements in the Indenture for quorum or voting, or reduce the
percentage in principal amount of outstanding Exchange Offer Debentures the
consent of whose holders is required for any amendment or modification of the
Indenture or the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer Debentures or the
consent of whose holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain
provisions of the Indenture or the Debentures or certain defaults thereunder
and their consequences) provide for in the Exchange Offer Debentures; or (j)
modify the provisions of the Indenture related to amendments of the Exchange
Offer Debentures except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
certain other provisions of the Indenture or the Exchange Offer Debentures
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding Exchange Offer Debenture affected thereby.  The quorum at any
meeting called to adopt a resolution will be the persons holding or
representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Offer
Debentures at the time outstanding (excluding for purposes of such calculation
the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Offer Debentures held by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries) and the quorum at any adjourned meeting will be
persons holding or representing 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Exchange Offer Debentures at the time outstanding (excluding for purposes of
such calculation the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Offer Debentures
held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries).  Any instrument given by or on
behalf of any holder of a Debenture in connection with any consent to any such
modification, amendment or waiver will be irrevocable once given and will be
conclusive and binding on all subsequent holders of such Debenture.  Any
modifications, amendments or waivers to the Indenture or to the terms and
conditions of the Exchange Offer Debentures will be conclusive and binding on
all holders of Exchange Offer Debentures, whether or not they have given such
consent or were present at any meeting, and on holders of Exchange Offer
Debentures, whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or
waivers is made upon the Exchange Offer Debentures.

NOTICES

      Notices to holders of the Exchange Offer Debentures will be given by
publication in a leading daily newspaper in the English language of general
circulation in New York City.  Such publication is expected to be made in The
Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition).  Such notices will be deemed to have
been given on the date of such publication or mailing or, if published in such
newspapers on different dates, on the date of the first such publication.

REPLACEMENT OF EXCHANGE OFFER DEBENTURES

      The Exchange Offer Debentures that become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost will be replaced by the Company at the expense of the holder upon delivery
to the Trustee of the Exchange Offer Debentures or evidence of the loss, theft
or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.  In the
case of





                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>   42
a lost, stolen or destroyed Exchange Offer Debenture, an indemnity satisfactory
to the Company and the Trustee may be required at the expense of the holder of
such Debenture before a replacement Debenture will be issued.

GOVERNING LAW

      The Exchange Offer Debentures and the Indenture will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to its choice of law principles.

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

      Set forth below are certain defined terms used in the Indenture.
Reference is made to the Indenture for a full disclosure of all such terms, as
well as any other capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is
provided.

      A "Change of Control" will be deemed to have occurred at such time as any
of the following events occurs:

            (a) Any person (for purposes of paragraph (a) of this definition
      only, the term "person" shall mean a "person" as defined in or for
      purposes of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of
      1934 (as defined herein), or any successor provision to either of the
      foregoing, including any "group" acting for the purposes of acquiring,
      holding or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
      under the Exchange Act of 1934), together with its Affiliates and
      Associates (as defined herein) shall file or become obligated to file a
      report under or in response to Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor
      schedule, form or report) pursuant to the Exchange Act of 1934 disclosing
      that such person has become the beneficial owner (as the term "beneficial
      owner" is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, or any
      successor provision) of either (A) 50% or more of the shares of Common
      Stock then outstanding or (B) 50% or more of the total voting power of
      all shares of capital stock of the Company then outstanding; provided,
      however, that for purposes of paragraph (a) of this definition, a person
      shall not be deemed the beneficial owner of (1) any securities tendered
      pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such
      person, or its Affiliates or Associates, until such tendered securities
      are accepted for purchase or exchange thereunder, or (2) any securities
      in respect of which beneficial ownership by such person arises solely as
      a result of a revocable proxy delivered in response to a proxy or consent
      solicitation that is made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
      Exchange Act of 1934 and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder
      and is not then reportable on Schedule 13D (or any successor schedule,
      form or report) under the Exchange Act of 1934.

            (b) There shall be consummated any sale, transfer, lease or
      conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of
      the Company to any other corporation or corporations or other person or
      persons (other than a subsidiary of the Company).

            (c) There shall be consummated any consolidation of the Company
      with or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or
      corporations or entity or entities (whether or not affiliated with the
      Company) in which the Company is not the sole surviving or continuing
      corporation or pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock outstanding
      immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation or merger are
      converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a
      consolidation or merger in which the holders of shares of Common Stock
      receive, directly or indirectly, (A) 75% or more of the common stock of
      the sole surviving or continuing corporation outstanding immediately
      following the consummation of such consolidation or merger and (B)
      securities representing 75% or more of the combined voting power of the
      voting stock of the sole surviving or continuing corporation outstanding
      immediately following the consummation thereof of such consolidation or
      merger.

<PAGE>   43
      "Senior Indebtedness" of the Company is defined as the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing on or after the
filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating to the
Company, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such
proceeding) and other monetary obligations on (a) any indebtedness of the
Company (excluding the Debentures and indebtedness ranking pari passu with the
Debentures but including guarantees given by the Company), whether now
outstanding or subsequently created or incurred, for money borrowed, whether or
not evidenced by debentures, notes or similar instruments, issued, incurred or
assumed by the Company, (b) the Company's existing indebtedness (other than
existing subordinated indebtedness), including indebtedness under the Company's
principal revolving bank credit facilities, (c) secured indebtedness and (d)
renewals, extensions, refinancings, refundings, amendments and modifications of
any such indebtedness or obligations or any of the instruments creating or
evidencing such indebtedness or obligations, unless it is provided in any of
the foregoing that such indebtedness is not senior to the Debentures.

      "United States" means the United States of America (including the states
and the District of Columbia), its territories, its possessions and other areas
subject to its jurisdiction.  The term "United States Alien" means any person
who, for United States Federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a
nonresident alien individual, an estate or trust the income of which is not
subject to United States Federal income taxation regardless of its source or a
foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States
Federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation.


                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

      The Company's authorized capital consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock").  As of June 30, 1996,
there were issued and outstanding 8,614,494 shares of Common Stock that were
held of record by 542 persons.

                            SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

      The Restricted Debentures were originally issued by the Company in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Company subsequently commenced an exchange offer exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to which holders of
the Restricted Debentures were offered the opportunity to exchange such
Debentures for an equal principal amount of the Exchange Offer Debentures
issued under the Indenture.  The Selling Holders, which term includes their
transferees, pledgees, donees or their successors, may from time to time offer
and sell pursuant to this Prospectus any or all of the Exchange Offer
Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

      The following table sets forth, as of July ___, 1996, with respect to
the Selling Holders, the respective principal amounts of the Restricted
Debentures beneficially owned by each Selling Holder that may be exchanged for
the Exchange Offer Debentures which may be offered pursuant to this Prospectus
and the number of Conversion Shares that are issuable upon conversion of the
Restricted Debentures (or the Exchange Offer Debentures) held by such Selling
Holder.  Such information has been obtained from the Selling Holders.  None of
the Selling Holders has, or within the past three years had, any position,
office or other material relationship with the Company or any of its
predecessors or affiliates, except as noted below.  Because the Selling Holders
may offer all or some of the Exchange Offer Debentures or some or all of the
Conversion Shares pursuant to this Prospectus, no estimate can be given as to
the amount of the Exchange Offer Debentures or the Conversion Shares that will
be held by the Selling Holders upon the termination of any such sales.  In

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares may be sold from
time to time to purchasers directly by the Selling Holders. Alternatively, the
Selling Holders may from time to time offer the Exchange Offer Debentures and
the Conversion Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who
may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Holders or the purchasers of the Exchange Offer
Debentures or the Conversion Shares for whom they may act as agents. The
Selling Holders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate
in the distribution of the Exchange Offer Debentures or the Conversion Shares
may be deemed to be "underwriters," as such term is defined in Section 2(11) of
the Securities Act and any profit on the sale of the Exchange Offer Debentures
or the Conversion Shares by them and any discounts, commissions, concessions or
other compensation received by any such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may
be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act.

      The Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares may be sold by
the Selling Holders from time to time, in one or more transactions at fixed
prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices
determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Such prices will be
determined by the Selling Holders. The sale of the Exchange Offer Debentures
and the Conversion Shares may be effected in transactions (i) on any national
securities exchange or quotation service on which the Exchange Offer Debentures
or the Conversion Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (ii) in
the over-the-counter market, (iii) in transactions otherwise than on such
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or (iv) through the writing of
options. At the time a particular offering of the Exchange Offer Debentures or
the Conversion Shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be
distributed that will set forth the





                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>   45
names of the Selling Holders, the aggregate amount and type of the Exchange
Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares, the number of such securities owned
prior to and after the completion of any such offering, and, to the extent
required, the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other
terms constituting compensation from the Selling Holders and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

      To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, if
applicable, the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares will be
offered or sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
broker- dealers. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, the Exchange Offer
Debentures and the Conversion Shares may not be offered or sold unless they
have been registered or qualified for sale in such jurisdictions or an
exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied
therewith.

      Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in a distribution of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion
Shares may be limited in its ability to engage in market activities with
respect to such Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares.  In
addition, without limitation on the foregoing, each Selling Holder will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and
sales by the Selling Holders of any of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the
Conversion Shares.  All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the
Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares.

      All expenses of the registration of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the
Conversion Shares will be paid by the Company, including, without limitation,
Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or
"blue sky" laws; provided, however, that the Selling Holders will pay all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. The Selling Holders
will be indemnified by the Company against certain civil liabilities, including
certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or will be entitled to
contribution in connection therewith.  The Company will be indemnified by the
Selling Holders against certain civil liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the Securities Act, or will be entitled to contribution in
connection therewith.


                                 LEGAL MATTERS

      The validity of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Conversion Shares
will be passed upon for the Company by Miles & Stockbridge, A Professional
Corporation, 10 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

      At a meeting held on October 9, 1993, the Board of Directors of the
Company ratified the engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP as its independent
auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1993 to replace the firm of Ernst
& Young who declined to stand for reelection as auditors of the Company by
mutual consent of the parties.

      The reports of Ernst & Young on the Company's financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991 (prior to the change in the
Company's fiscal year end) did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope,
or accounting principles.

      In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1991 and December 31, 1992, and
in the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Ernst &
Young on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures that, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Ernst & Young would have caused Ernst & Young to make reference
to the matter in their report.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Youth Services International, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Youth Services
International, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30,
1994 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended June 30,
1993, 1994 and 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Youth Services
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30,
1993, 1994 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

              YOUTH SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993, 1994 AND 1995



1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization

Youth Services International, Inc. (YSI, Inc.) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, "the Company") are organized to manage and operate a broad range
of education and behavior change programs for troubled youths.  The Company
commenced the operation of its first program in February, 1992.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Youth Services
International, Inc. and the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Youth Services
International of Iowa, Inc. (YSII); Youth Services International of Tennessee,
Inc. (YSIT); YSI of Utah, Inc. (YSIU); Western Youth, Inc. (WY); Youth Services
International of Baltimore, Inc. (YSIB); Youth Services International of
Maryland, Inc. (YSIM); Youth Services International of Northern Iowa, Inc.
(YSINI); Youth Services International of South Dakota, Inc. (YSISD); Youth
Services International of Missouri, Inc. (YSIMO); YSI of Central Iowa, Inc.
(YSICI); Southwestern Children's Health Services (SWCHS) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries Promise House, Inc. and Developmental Behavioral Consultants, Inc.
(DBC).  YSICI and SWCHS began operations during fiscal 1995 and, as such, had
no operating activity through June 30, 1994. Significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

YSII, YSINI, YSISD and Touchstone, a division of SWCHS, manage and operate
programs that provide rehabilitative services to troubled youths in Iowa, South
Dakota and Arizona under contracts with Clarinda Youth Corporation (CYC),
Estherville Youth Corporation (EYC), Missouri River Adolescent Development
Center (MRADC) and Touchstone Community, Inc. (TCI), respectively.  CYC and EYC
are Iowa not-for-profit entities, MRADC is a South Dakota not-for-profit entity
and TCI is an Arizona not-for-profit entity.  These not-for-profit entities
hold contracts with the state of Iowa, South Dakota and Arizona, respectively,
to provide such services and choose to subcontract this management
responsibility to YSII, YSINI, YSISD and Touchstone.  CYC, EYC, MRADC and TCI
are each controlled by independent Boards of Directors which have the right to
terminate their contract with YSII, YSINI, YSISD and Touchstone, respectively,
under certain circumstances.  The accompanying consolidated balance sheets
include net accounts receivable pursuant to these contracts of $2,438,000 and
$3,753,000, as of June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

The Company is currently negotiating contracts and recruiting students to begin
operations of YSICI in Central Iowa.  The Company expects program operations to
begin during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

Revenue Recognition and Contract Provisions

The Company's programs are typically provided pursuant to contracts with
governmental entities.  YSIT, YSIM, YSIU, WY, Promise House and DBC  operate
under fixed per diem contracts based upon program occupancy.  Revenues on fixed
per diem contracts are recognized as the services are performed.

YSIB operates under a contract with three distinct revenue components as
follows:

      -     Gross maximum price cost reimbursement under which revenues are
            recognized as reimbursable costs are incurred.  
      -     Fixed per diem under which revenues are recognized as the services
            are performed.  
      -     Management fee under which revenues are recognized as the services
            are performed.

The YSIM contract provides for the payment of $5.00 per student per day to be
deposited equally into a facility renewal and equipment fund and an aftercare
fund.  Use of these funds is subject to the advance budgetary approval of the
State of Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice.  Any residual funds, as well
as any fixed assets or capital improvements purchased from these funds, revert
to the State of Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice upon contract
termination.  The combined balance in these funds was approximately $157,000
and $349,000 as of June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and is included in
restricted cash and other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.

YSII, YSINI, YSISD and Touchstone operate under management contracts with CYC,
EYC, MRADC and TCI, respectively.  Revenues related to these management
contracts are recognized as the services are performed.

Contract terms generally range from one to five years in duration and expire at
various dates through June 1998.  Some of these contracts are subject to
termination for the convenience of a particular governmental entity.
Management of the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would cause
any governmental entity to terminate any existing agreement.

Parc Place, a division of SWCHS, provides inpatient and outpatient chemical
dependency and behavioral health programs for adolescents under various third
party payor contractual reimbursement programs.  Revenues related to these
contractual reimbursement programs are recognized as services are performed.

Certain contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and
adjustment by negotiations with government or third party payor
representatives.  Contract revenues have been recorded at amounts which are
expected to be realized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and are due primarily from state and
local governments and not-for-profit entities under contracts.

Property, Equipment and Improvements

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives, or if leasehold improvements,
over the term of the related lease, if shorter.

the following:

 Deferred debt issue costs                                                 2-10 years
  and other

 Goodwill                                                                   10 years

 Non-compete agreements                                                    3-5 years

 Purchase Option                                                            5 years

 Management Services Contract                                               5 years
</TABLE>

Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995 was
$24,000, $341,000 and $676,000, respectively.  Accumulated amortization at June
30, 1995 was $1,042,000.

Goodwill

Subsequent to making an acquisition, the Company continually evaluates whether
later events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining
estimated useful life of goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining
balance of goodwill may not be recoverable.  When factors indicate that
goodwill should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an
estimate of the related acquisition's net earnings and cash flows over the
remaining life of the goodwill in measuring whether the goodwill is
recoverable.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of advance payments for services which will be
recognized as revenue as the related services are performed.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method in
accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the rates and laws that are projected to be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.  Any resulting deferred tax asset
along with the tax benefits related to operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards are recognized if management believes, based on available
evidence, that it is more likely than not they will be realized (see Note 12).

2.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:

Lines of Credit

During fiscal 1992, the Company entered into an operating line of credit
arrangement with a bank, under which it could borrow the lesser of $275,000 or
85% of eligible accounts receivable.  Amounts drawn under this line of credit
bore interest at prime plus two percent and were payable on demand.  The line
was secured by furniture, inventory, machinery and equipment, and accounts
receivable related to the Company's operations in Clarinda, Iowa.  During
fiscal 1994, the Company entered into an operating line of credit arrangement
with a bank, under which it could borrow the lesser of $400,000 or 75% of

The line was secured by accounts receivable of the Company and provided for the
right of set-off.  During fiscal 1995, the Company entered into an operating
line of credit arrangement with a bank, under which it could borrow the lesser
of $5,000,000 or 85% of eligible accounts receivable.  Amounts drawn under this
line of credit bore interest at prime plus one-half percent and were payable on
demand.  The line was secured by accounts receivable of the Company.  The
preceding lines of credit were cancelled in fiscal 1995 and replaced with the
line of credit facility described in Note 4.  During fiscal year 1995, the
Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a bank, under which it may
borrow up to $80,000.  Amounts drawn under this line of credit bear interest at
10% and are payable on demand.  The line is guaranteed by the former owners of

place as of the beginning of fiscal year 1993.  The weighted average common and
common equivalent shares have been adjusted to give effect to the issuance of
the common stock offered in the Company's initial public offering (see Note
18).

Assuming the acquisition of Desert Hills had been consummated on June 30, 1995,
the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial position would have been as
follows.  Such information reflects adjustments to record the acquisition of
Desert Hills (see Note 19).

18.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:

On February 3, 1994, the Company sold 1,300,000 shares of common stock at
$10.00 per share pursuant to its Registration Statement filed on Form SB-2 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The net proceeds to the Company from
this offering were used to reduce long-term indebtedness, borrowings under the
lines of credit and other short-term borrowings, to fund the acquisitions of
Prestige and Western Youth, to fund capital expenditures and provide working
capital.  The costs associated with the registration and sale of the common
stock were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Effective at the close of business on June 30, 1995, the Company entered into
an Option Agreement whereby the Company has acquired the option to purchase all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Introspect, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Diversification Association, Inc. (DAI), an Arizona corporation,
for a period of five years.  The Option Agreement provides for a purchase price
of $4,100,000 in cash, $3,825,000 in the Company's common stock and the
assumption of up to $1,500,000 in liabilities.  The purchase price is subject
to reduction based on a number of factors as defined in the Option Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, prior to the Company's exercise
of the option, DAI will contribute to the capital of Introspect, all of the
outstanding capital stock of Desert Hills Center for Youth and Families of
Hawaii, Inc. (Desert Hills - HI), a Hawaii corporation and Desert Hills Center
for Youth and Families of Nevada, Inc. (Desert Hills - NV), a Nevada
corporation.  The Company paid $350,000 in cash as consideration for the
option.  The Company incurred $100,000 in additional costs related to the
Option Agreement as of June 30, 1995.

Introspect is a provider of services to behaviorally disturbed and at-risk
children and adolescents.  Desert Hills - NV operates a community mental health
center for behaviorally disturbed and at-risk adolescents.  Desert Hills - HI
currently is not operational.

Simultaneous with the Option Agreement, the Company entered into a Management
Agreement effective at the close of business on June 30, 1995, pursuant to
which the Company will manage the business of Introspect, Desert Hills - HI and
Desert Hills - NV for a period of five years.  The Management Agreement
provides that the Company will receive a management fee of $600,000 for
management services provided during the period January 1, 1995 through June 30,
1995.  This amount is included in consulting services and other in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The Company will receive a
management fee, as defined in the Management Agreement, for services provided
during the term of the Management Agreement.  The Option Agreement provides
that in the event the Management Agreement is terminated prior to its
expiration and the option under the Option Agreement is not exercised within
120 days of the termination of the Management Agreement, the Company is
required to pay a penalty which decreases as time passes from $500,000 if the
Management Agreement is terminated after June 30,

1995, and prior to December 31, 1995 to $100,000 at the expiration of the
Management Agreement if the option is not exercised.  The Company has incurred
$332,000 in costs related to the Management Agreement as of June 30, 1995.

The Company entered into a $1,000,000 discretionary line of credit agreement
with Introspect under which the Company, at its sole discretion, may extend
credit to Introspect for a term that corresponds to the Option Agreement.
Credit extended under this line of credit will bear interest at prime plus 2%.
No advances had been made under this line of credit as of June 30, 1995.

                       YOUTH SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.               FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                 In management's opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of Youth
Services International, Inc.'s (YSI's) financial position at March 31, 1996 and
the results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995.  The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1995 is
presented herein as set forth in YSI's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the
year ended June 30, 1995.  These statements are presented in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in YSI's annual
consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these statements, as
permitted under the applicable rules and regulations.  Readers of these
statements should refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and for the years then ended filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-KSB/A.

                 Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for a full fiscal year.

2.               SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS

                 In January, 1996, YSI issued 7% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due February 1, 2006, in the principal amount of $37.95 million.
Interest is payable semi-annually commencing August 1, 1996.  The Debentures,
not callable for three years, are convertible into shares of the Company's
Common Stock at a conversion price of $18.70 per share.

                 In January, 1996, YSI commenced operation of a 45 bed juvenile
boot camp program in Walters, Virginia for youth who have committed crimes or
are considered at risk of being adjudicated.

                 Effective March 1, 1996, YSI acquired the business and certain
assets of Tampa Bay Academy, L.P. ("Tampa Bay Academy) and a management
agreement contract with a related entity for approximated $4,223,000 in cash
and the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $325,000.  Tampa Bay Academy
is primarily a residential treatment center licensed for 104 youth. In
connection with this transaction , YSI entered into a lease of certain real
property owned by Tampa Bay Academy, Ltd. and acquired a mortgage note on such
property from the lender for approximately $3,271,000.

3.               PRO FORMA INFORMATION

                 The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 1996 include the operating results of
Desert Hills of New Mexico which was acquired as of the close of business June
30, 1995.  Tampa Bay Academy was acquired effective March 1, 1996; accordingly,
the unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended March 31, 1996 include the operating results of Tampa Bay Academy
for the one month period ended March 31, 1996.  Assuming the acquisition of
Desert Hills of New Mexico and Tampa Bay Academy had been consummated at the
beginning of fiscal year 1995, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations would have been as follows:

effects, to recognize additional goodwill amortization expense, interest
expense, lease expense, and depreciation expense on fair market value write-up

                 The unaudited pro forma information presented above may not be
indicative of the results of operations which actually would have occurred if
the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of fiscal year 1995.

4.               SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

                 On April 11, 1996, the Company entered into a binding letter
of intent to acquire Three Springs, Inc.  Three Springs conducts outdoor
adventure programs and residential treatment centers for over 500 youth.  The
letter of intent contemplates that the parties will enter into a definitive
agreement and close the acquisition by June 30, 1996, subject to the Company's
due diligence review and the acquisition qualifying as a "pooling of interests"
for the Company. The letter of intent provides that YSI will acquire Three
Springs, Inc. for 800,000 shares of YSI Common Stock (1,200,000 shares after
giving effect to the three-for-two stock split discussed below).

                 On April 30, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
three-for-two split of the Company's outstanding common stock.  Shareholders
will receive a stock dividend on the outstanding shares of common stock in the
amount of one-half of one share of common stock for each share of common stock
held by the shareholder on the record date.  Cash will be paid in lieu of
fractional shares based upon the price of common stock on the record date of
the split.  The number of shares outstanding after the split will be
approximately 8,453,000 based on the number of shares of YSI common stock
currently outstanding. All periods presented have been retroactively restated to
give effect to this three-for-two stock split.

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Tampa Bay Academy Ltd. (TBA), located in Riverview, Florida, operates a
residential psychiatric treatment facility for children and adolescents.
Billings are made primarily to insurance companies, with patient's families
responsible for copay and deductible amounts.  A substantial amount of TBA's
revenues are received from a provider contract with one medical insurance
carrier which represents significant concentration of credit risk.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements
present fairly TBA's financial position at February 29, 1996 and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the two month periods ended February 28, 1995
and February 29, 1996, and include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position as of February 29, 1996 and results of operations and cash flows for
the two month periods ended February 28, 1995 and February 29, 1996.  Theses
financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in TBA's annual financial statements have been
omitted.  Readers of these financial statements should refer to the financial
statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 1995.  The results of
operations presented in the accompanying financial statements are not
necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

2.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective March 1, 1996,  TBA sold  the business and certain assets of the
business to Youth Services International, Inc.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

American Residential Centers, Inc. (ARC) provides management services to Tampa
Bay Academy, located in Riverview, Florida, under a contractual arrangement.
The Tampa Bay Academy operates a residential psychiatric treatment facility for
children and adolescents.  The Academy's billings are made primarily to
insurance companies with patient's families responsible for copay and
deductible amounts.  A substantial amount of the Tampa Bay Academy's revenues
are received from a provider contract with one medical insurance carrier which
presents a significant concentration of credit risk.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial
statements present fairly ARC's financial position at February 29, 1996 and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the two month periods ended
February 28, 1995 and February 29, 1996, and include all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position as of February 29, 1996 and results of operations and
cash flows for the two month periods ended February 28, 1995 and February 29,
1996.  Theses financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in ARC's annual financial statements
have been omitted.  Readers of these financial statements should refer to the
financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 1995.  The results of
operations presented in the accompanying financial statements are not
necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

2. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective March 1, 1996, TBA sold the business and certain assets of the
business to Youth Services International, Inc.   In addition, the ARC
management agreement was sold to Youth Services International, Inc.

                       YOUTH SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following pro forma consolidated statements of income include the unaudited
pro forma consolidated statements of income for the year ended June 30, 1995
and for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 (the "Pro Forma Consolidated
Statements of Income").  The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of
Income are adjusted to give effect  to the consummation of the acquisition of
Desert Hills Center for Youth and Families of New Mexico, Inc. ("Desert
Hills"), American Residential Centers, Inc. and Tampa Bay Academy, Ltd. as if
such transactions had occurred on July 1, 1994.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that  the Company believes are reasonable.  The pro forma
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto and the
financial statements and related notes of Desert Hills, American Residential
Centers, Inc. and Tampa Bay Academy, Ltd.   The unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent what the
Company's results of operations would have been had the acquisitions occurred
on July 1, 1994 or to project the Company's  results of operations for any
future period.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      The Charter and Bylaws of the Company provide that, among other matters,
to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law as it
may be amended from time to time, current and former directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company, and those persons who serve or have
served, at the Company's request, as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee or agent of another entity or enterprise shall be indemnified against
any and all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with their services
in such capacities.  Other provisions of the Charter and Bylaws provide that
the Company shall advance expenses to its officers and directors and other
persons to the same extent it shall indemnify such persons.

      Furthermore, the Charter of the Company provides that, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law as it may be amended
from time to time, no director or officer of the Company shall be liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of events
occurring at the time such person is serving as a director or officer,
regardless of whether such person is a director or officer at the time of a
proceeding in which liability is asserted.  Under current Maryland law, the
effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its
stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director or officer except (i)
to the extent that it is proved that the director or officer actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (ii) to the
extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is
entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person's
action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.  In
situations to which the Charter provision applies, the remedies available to
the Company or a stockholder are limited to equitable remedies such as
injunction or rescission.

         The Company currently maintains director and officer liability 
insurance coverage for officers and directors.

                          (iii)   To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;

         Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                 (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                 (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

         (b)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

         (h)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange





                                      II-2
<PAGE>   103
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         (i)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                 (1)      For determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

                 (2)      For the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (j)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an
application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to
act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (the
"Indenture Act") in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the
Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Indenture Act.

                                July 29, 1996

Youth Services International, Inc.
2 Park Center Court, Suite 200
Owings Mills, Maryland 21117

Gentlemen:

        In connection with the registration for resale under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") of the Exchange Offer Debentures issued as part of the 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2006 issued by Youth Services
International, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and up to
2,582,197 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Offer
Debentures and the Restricted Debentures, we have examined such corporate
records, certificates and documents as we deemed necessary for the purpose of
rendering this opinion.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the registration statement
covering the securities the subject of this opinion. 

        Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Exchange Offer
Debentures will, when sold, be a binding obligation of the Company, and the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Offer Debentures and the
Restricted Debentures have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued
upon the terms set forth in the Exchange Offer Debentures and the Restricted
Debentures, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
registration statement covering the securities the subject of this opinion.  
In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933
or the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder.

                                              Very truly yours,

                                              Miles & Stockbridge,
                                              a Professional Corporation
