1. The Company

   Infu-Tech,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  is a provider  of clinical  services  and
   products to the non-hospital based health care market.  This includes a broad
   range of complete home infusion therapy  services  including total parenteral
   nutrition therapy, antibiotic therapy and other therapies to patients at home
   and  enteral  nutrition  infusion  therapy  and other  medical  services  and
   products  provided  primarily to patients in long-term care  facilities.  The
   Company is 59% owned by Continental Health Affiliates, Inc. ("CHA"), a public
   company. The minority 41% of the Company's equity is publicly traded.

   The  Company is subject to  certain  risks and  uncertainties  as a result of
   changes  that  could  occur in the  healthcare  industry,  including  pricing
   pressure from managed care, Medicare and Medicaid.

2. Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements have
   been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
   interim  financial  information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q
   and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
   information  and  footnotes   required  by  generally   accepted   accounting
   principles for complete financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,
   all  adjustments,   consisting  of  normal  recurring  accrual   adjustments,
   considered  necessary for a fair presentation  have been included.  Operating
   results for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997,  are not  necessarily
   indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year ended June 30,
   1997.

   These financial  statements and notes should be read in conjunction  with the
   Company's  audited  financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the
   Company's Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("EPS"),  which
   is effective as of December 31, 1997. This standard changes the way companies
   compute EPS to require all companies to show "basic" and  "dilutive"  EPS and
   is to be  retroactively  applied,  including each 1997 interim  quarter.  The
   statement is not  expected to have a material  effect on the  calculation  of
   EPS.

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


The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended March 31,1997 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

Total revenues  increased by $1,059,000,  or 19%, from  $5,674,000 to $6,733,000
primarily due to a $725,000, or 17% increase in home infusion division revenues.
Contract services division revenues increased by $334,000 or 24%. These revenues
are  comprised  of enteral  nutrition  therapy  and other  products  provided to
patients in long-term care facilities.

Cost of medical and  nutritional  products sold to patients and other  customers
increased  $785,000 or 29%, from  $2,713,000 in 1996 to $3,498,000 in 1997. As a
percentage of total revenues,  medical and nutritional product costs were 52% in
1997  and 48% in  1996.  The  increase  in the  nutritional  product  costs as a
percentage of sales is attributable  to increased  pricing  pressure,  causing a
reduction in margins.

Total  personnel  costs  increased by $172,000 or 10% from $1,637,000 in 1996 to
$1,809,000  in 1997,  primarily as a result of  expansion  of the home  infusion
sales force and the opening of a Florida pharmacy.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by $306,000, or 46% from
$667,000  in 1996 to  $973,000  in 1997.  The  increase  of  $306,000 is largely
attributable  to investment  banking  retainer fees in connection with potential
acquisitions by the Company,  engagement of an investor  relations  firm,  costs
connected  with the  development  of a  disease  state  management  program  and
distribution cost increases.  In addition, the opening of a Florida pharmacy and
start up costs  associated with the Humana Health Plans  capitation  contract in
Illinois added to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

During the quarter,  the Company  pursued a focused effort on cash  collections.
This  project has  resulted  in  improved  cash flows and enabled the Company to
conduct a review of its allowance for uncollectible accounts. As a result of the
review the Company  determined that the existing allowance at March 31, 1997 was
excessive and a reduction from the existing allowance of $46,000 was made.

Management fees to Continental  Health  Affiliates,  Inc. and  subsidiaries
("CHA") of  $108,000  in 1997 and  $91,000 in 1996 were 1.6% of revenues in both
years.

Depreciation  expense  decreased  from $35,000 in 1996 to $33,000 in 1997 due to
property and equipment  additions  involving  infusion pump purchases  offset by
retirements. During the quarter, amortization of $3,000 goodwill of $145,000 was
also recognized relating to an acquisition which occurred on January 6, 1997.

Other income,  net of $5,000 in 1997 and $27,000 in 1996 consisted of $32,000 of
amortization  in 1996 and $9,000 in 1997 of a $628,000  payment  received by the
Company in 1992 as consideration for the Company's  releasing the buyer of CHA's
former Home Nursing  Division  from an agreement  not to sell  infusion  therapy
services  and CHA's  agreeing  not to provide  nursing  services in  California,
Arizona  or  Tennessee  for a period of five  years.  The  amortization  of this
non-compete  agreement  has been  completed in this  quarter.  Interest  expense
offsets the other income.

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


The net income in 1997 was $213,000 or $.06 per share  compared to net income in
1996 of $261,000  or $.08 per share.  The  decrease in net income was  primarily
attributable to a 46% increase in selling,  general and administrative  costs as
well as the  provision  for income  taxes offset by the 19% increase in revenue.
Income before taxes for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 was $360,000  compared
to $261,000 for the  comparable  quarter last year.  As the Company has utilized
its net operating loss  carryforwards,  a full tax charge in the current quarter
results  in net income of  $213,000  compared  to  $261,000  for the  comparable
quarter last year.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 compared with Nine Months ended March 31, 1996

Total  revenues  increased  by  $1,481,000,  or 8% from  $18,220,000  in 1996 to
$19,701,000  in 1997,  primarily  due to a  $1,040,000,  or 24% increase in home
infusion  division  revenues.  This  increase is primarily  attributed  to a 12%
increase in the number of patients services.  These patients experienced shorter
terms of therapy as well as  discounted  pricing  negotiated  with  managed care
companies.

Costs of medical and  nutritional  products sold to patients and other customers
increased by $474,000,  or 5%, from $9,195,000 in 1996 to $9,669,000 in 1997. As
a percentage of total revenues,  medical and nutritional product costs decreased
from 50% in 1996 to 49% in 1997.  The  improvement  in the  nutritional  product
costs as a  percentage  of  sales is  partially  attributable  to the  Company's
participation in group purchasing programs offset by increased pricing pressures
from certain vendors.

Total personnel  costs  increased by $268,000,  or 5% from $5,009,000 in 1996 to
$5,277,000 in 1997,  primarily  attributed to higher  nursing and pharmacy costs
incurred  to  support  the 12%  increase  in home  infusion  patients  services,
increasing geographical coverage through sales force expansion,  and the opening
of a Florida pharmacy.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by $529,000, or 26% from
$2,015,000 in 1996 to  $2,544,000  in 1997.  The increase of $529,000 is largely
attributable to investment  banking retainer fees in connection with acquisition
work,  engagement  of an  investor  relations  firm,  costs  connected  with the
development  of  a  disease  state  management  program  and  distribution  cost
increases.  In  addition,  the opening of a Florida  pharmacy and start up costs
associated with the Humana Health Plans capitation contract in Illinois added to
the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

In January 1997,  Company commenced a focused effort on cash  collections.  This
project has resulted in improved cash flows and enabled the Company to conduct a
review of its allowance for  uncollectible  accounts.  As a result of the review
the  Company  determined  that the  existing  allowance  at March  31,  1997 was
excessive and a reduction from the existing allowance of $46,000 was made.

Management  fees to CHA of  $315,000  in 1997 and  $292,000 in 1996 were 1.6% of
revenues in both periods.

Depreciation  expense  increased from $73,000 in 1996 to $101,000 in 1997 due to
property and equipment additions  involving infusion pump purchases,  as well as
amortization recognized during the current quarter.

Other income, net of $58,000 in 1997 and $89,000 in 1996 consisted of $63,000 of
amortization in 1996 and $23,000 in 1997 of a $628,000  payment  received by the
Company in 1992 as consideration for the Company's  releasing the buyer of CHA's
former Home Nursing  Division  from an agreement  not to sell  infusion  therapy
services  and CHA's  agreeing  not to provide  nursing  services in  California,

Tennessee  for a period of five  years.  The  amortization  of this  non-compete
agreement  has been  completed  in the period  ended  March 31,  1997.  Interest
expense offsets the other income.

The net income in 1997 was $772,000,  or $.24 per share compared to a net income
in 1996 of $789,000,  or $.25 per share. Income before taxes for the nine months
ending March 31, 1997 was  $1,307,000  compared to $789,000  for the  comparable
period last  quarter.  As the Company has now  utilized its net  operating  loss
carryforwards,  a full tax charge in the current  year  results in net income of
$772,000 compared to $789,000 for the comparable period last year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31,  1997,  the Company had total assets of $10.2  million,  working
capital  of $4.9  million  and a net  worth  of $5.9  million.  Its  liabilities
consisted almost entirely of accounts  payable and other operating  obligations.
The Company had no borrowings and its primary capital requirements have been for
investment in working capital, principally accounts receivable and inventories.

At March 31, 1997, the balance in net accounts  receivable for Infu-Tech was 21%
higher than the balance at June 30, 1996.  Infu-Tech's  net accounts  receivable
has increased  from 84 days sales at June 30, 1996 to 92 days sales at March 31,
1997, primarily as a result of continued slow payments from Medicare and managed
care  companies.   Medicare  payments  have  been  delayed  due  to  changes  in
reimbursement policies,  while managed care companies have experienced delays in
processing payments due to a higher volume of claims. As a result, Infu-Tech has
experienced  increased  delays  in having  its  claims  processed  as well as an
increase in the number of initial claims rejected.

Among  the  nursing  homes  with  which  the  Company  does  business  are seven
facilities  which are owned or  managed  by CHA.  Through  March 31,  1997,  the
Company's  sales from those nursing  homes  totaled  $409,000 for the nine month
period.  At March 31,  1997,  the  Company's  net accounts  receivable  from the
managed nursing homes totaled $1,156,000. During the nine months ended March 31,
1997, the Company  realized  revenues of $313,000 or 6%, of the Company's  total
contract services revenues,  from the sale of products and services to residents
of the managed nursing homes.

The  Company's  cash flows have been tight  during the past few  months,  partly
constrained  by cash  needed to acquire  Universal  Home  Infusion.  The focused
effort on cash collections  referred to previously has improved cash flow. Since
the  Company has no  borrowings,  management  believes  that the Company is in a
favorable  position  to secure  financing,  if needed.  Based  upon  preliminary
informal  discussions with potential lenders, the company believes that it would
be able to secure  adequate  financing  to cover its cash  requirements  for the
foreseeable future.
