increase in net income compared to net income for the similar period in 1995. 
Total revenues increased $1.2 million or 8% over revenues for the same period in
1995.

Royalty fees and other revenues increased 7%, with royalty declines due to
franchise acquisitions and other closures offset by franchise sales revenue and
franchise termination fees.  The Company has franchise contracts up for renewal
in 1996 and 1997.  The terms of renewal agreements may not be identical to those
under existing agreements.  The loss of larger, mature franchises reduces
royalties, which the Company seeks to offset through new franchise sales and
same store growth.  Same store royalty growth for 1996 to date is essentially
unchanged.  The Company continues to actively market new franchise territories,
and expects to recognize royalties from these new territories in future periods.
When a franchise is acquired by the Company, management expects increased
patient care service revenue to offset the decrease in royalty fees and product
sales revenue.  In certain instances, franchise owners seek termination of the
agreement before expiration of the term.  The franchise agreement calls for
termination fees related to the loss of future royalty streams upon early
termination.

Product sales were down $0.8 million or 27% due to a planned transition to
direct-billing of franchisees by selected manufacturers.  The administrative
fees that the Company recognizes from such sales are recorded as other income
rather than as revenue.  Management expects the transition to have a negative
effect on gross profit but an immaterial effect on net income.  Management
believes that the full effect of the direct-billing change has been recognized
at this time.  

Patient care services revenue was up $1.9 million or 18%, primarily as a result
of 1995 and 1996 acquisitions.  Management expects additional revenue growth
from franchises and other health care businesses acquired in the second quarter.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased $0.2 million or 4%
over gross profit for the same period in fiscal 1995.  Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues ("gross margin") was 28.3% in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 and 29.4% in the comparable period of fiscal 1995.  The decline in
gross margin is due primarily to changes in the Company's revenue mix and cost
structure.  Revenues from patient care services (associated with Company-owned
Option Care offices), have a higher cost of revenue than the Company's franchise
business and product sales to the franchise network.
<PAGE>
Operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased $0.2 million
or 5% compared to the same period in fiscal 1995, due primarily to increased
amortization of intangibles and provision for doubtful accounts related to the
Company's acquisition program.  The allowance for doubtful accounts as a 
percentage of total accounts receivable was 6.8% at June 30, 1996 compared with
7.1% at December 31, 1995.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were
20% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and 20% in the comparable period of
fiscal 1995.  

Other income (expense) consists primarily of vendor administration fees,
interest income on accounts and notes receivable and interest expense.  For the
quarter and year to date, increased vendor administration fees relating to the
transition to direct product billing were substantially offset by increased
interest expense.  The net increase in other income is due primarily to the gain
on sale of assets of the Company's Washington state long term care pharmacy.

Pretax income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased $0.1 million or
10% over the comparable period of fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of the
increase in revenue.

The Company's effective tax rate was 45% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996
versus 46% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The effective tax rate is
higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 34% due to state income taxes and
non-deductible expenses, primarily goodwill amortization.  The non-deductible
portion of the Company's expenses is essentially fixed, resulting in a
decreasing effective tax rate with increasing pretax income.

Discussion of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996.

For the first six months of fiscal 1996, Option Care, Inc. reported a 23%
increase in net income compared to net income for the similar period in 1995. 
Total revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1996 increased $0.9 million or
3% over revenues for the same period in fiscal 1995.  

Royalty fees and other revenues increased 7%, with royalty declines due to
franchise acquisitions and other closures offset by franchise sales revenue and
franchise termination fees.  The Company has franchise contracts up for renewal
in 1996 and 1997.  The terms of renewal agreements may not be identical to those
under existing agreements.  The loss of larger, mature franchises reduces
royalties, which the Company seeks to offset through new franchise sales and
same store growth.  Same store royalty growth for 1996 to date is essentially
unchanged.  The Company continues to actively market new franchise territories,
and expects to recognize royalties from these new territories in future periods.
When a franchise is acquired by the Company, management expects increased
patient care service revenue to offset the decrease in royalty fees and product
sales revenue.  In certain instances, franchise owners seek termination of the
agreement before expiration of the term.  The franchise agreement calls for
termination fees related to the loss of future royalty streams upon early
termination.

Product sales were down $1.7 million or 27% due to a planned transition to
direct-billing of franchisees by selected manufacturers.  The administrative
fees that the Company recognizes from such sales are recorded as other income
rather than as revenue.  Management expects the transition to have a negative
effect on gross profit but an immaterial effect on net income.  Management
believes that the full effect of the direct-billing change has been recognized
at this time.  
<PAGE>
Patient care services revenue was up $2.2 million or 11%, primarily as a result
of 1995 and 1996 acquisitions.  Management expects additional revenue growth
from franchises and other health care businesses acquired in the second quarter.

Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 1996 increased $0.1 million or
1% over gross profit for the same period in fiscal 1995.  Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues ("gross margin") was 29% for the first six months of
fiscal 1996 and 29% in the comparable period of fiscal 1995.  

Operating expenses in the first six months of fiscal 1996 decreased $0.2 million
or 2% compared to the same period in fiscal 1995, due primarily to personnel
productivity increases offsetting increased amortization of intangibles and
provision for doubtful accounts related to acquisitions.  Operating expenses as
a percentage of revenue were 20% in the first six months of fiscal 1996 and 21%
in the comparable period of fiscal 1995.

Other income (expense) consists primarily of vendor administration fees,
interest income on accounts and notes receivable and interest expense.  For the
quarter and year to date, increased vendor administration fees relating to the
transition to direct product billing were substantially offset by increased
interest expense.  The net increase in other income is due primarily to the gain
on sale of assets of the Company's Washington state long term care pharmacy.

Pretax income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 increased $0.5 million or
19% over the comparable period of fiscal 1995, as a result of both expense
controls and increased revenues.

The Company's effective tax rate was 46% in the first six months of fiscal 1996
versus 48% for the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The effective tax rate is
higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 34% due to state income taxes and
non-deductible expenses, primarily goodwill amortization.  The non-deductible
portion of the Company's expenses is essentially fixed, resulting in a 
decreasing effective tax rate with increasing pretax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

The Company's working capital was $18.9 million at June 30, 1996, compared with
$15.4 million on December 31, 1995.  This growth is due primarily to an increase
in accounts receivable. Management believes that cash flow from operations, in
conjunction with borrowing availability under its credit facility, will be
sufficient to meet the cash needs of the business for the immediate future.
Future acquisitions of franchised and non-franchised health care businesses may
require additional financing.

The existing credit facility, amended July 1, 1996, provides the Company with a
maximum borrowing capacity of $15.0 million through January 1998 subject to
certain financial covenants.  The available balance at June 30, 1996 was $5.9
million. Management intends to refinance this debt and seek additional financing
for possible acquisitions of existing franchises and other independent  
healthcare businesses during the remainder of 1996 and 1997, but there can be no
guarantee that capital will be available or available on acceptable terms. 

There are currently various proposals under development to enact health care
reform on a national, state and local level.  It is not possible at this time to
predict the impact which any such changes, including the pending third quarter
changes in the Medicare Certificate of Medical Necessity regulations, may have
on providers of home health care services and on the Option Care offices.
