<PAGE>
AMEDISYS is currently in the process of completing two private
placements relating to the Company's 100% owned outpatient surgery
centers located in Houston and Pasadena, TX. These placements will
offer qualified investors the opportunity to acquire up to 30% of each
outpatient surgery center.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Item 1.
GENERAL
The Company's divisions provide a synergistic menu of integrated services which
provide for disease state management with a continuum of care. Patients, health
care providers and managed care benefit from a wide range of services provided
by one Company. The Company's services include:
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER SERVICES:
HOME NURSING SERVICES: This division provides a broad spectrum of home
nursing services provided by care givers ranging from highly trained
critical care registered nurses to licensed practical nurses and
certified home health aides. The Company operates 17 home health care
offices, all of which are accredited by the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO), the nationally
recognized standard for quality in the home health care industry.
Growth in this sector continues to be driven by payors seeking cost-
effective alternatives to lengthy hospital stays.
SUPPLEMENTAL STAFFING: Medical personnel including registered nurses,
licensed practical nurses, certified nurses' aides, and therapists
provide staff relief in a variety of markets including hospitals,
nursing homes, assisted living centers, physician offices and home
health care companies, as well as private duty care. In operation since
the early 1980's, this division provides service in 12 locations.
Earlier this year, a clerical staffing program was introduced in three
markets as an adjunct service for the Company's clients. The Company
differentiates itself from its competitors through the use of a
proprietary software system which generates a faster and more accurate
scheduling response than traditional methods used throughout the
industry.
OUTPATIENT SURGERY CENTERS: The Company currently operates three
outpatient surgery centers. Its two centers in Houston, TX are wholly
owned by AMEDISYS and the Hammond, LA center is a joint venture with
local physicians in which the Company owns a 56% share. All three
centers have been accredited. Construction has begun on a fourth center
located in Houston, TX with commencement of operations expected in
March, 1998. The Company will own 42% of the center and in addition,
will provide management services. Growth in the outpatient surgery
center market is being fueled by advances in technology which allow a
greater number of procedures to be performed in an outpatient setting
at a significantly lower cost.
ALTERNATE-SITE INFUSION THERAPY SERVICES: In the third quarter of 1997,
the Company established a team of highly talented, proven experts in
infusion therapy and plans to initiate services in the fourth quarter
of 1997. These services will include a wide range of infusion therapies
as well as durable medical equipment and respiratory therapy. Services
will be provided through clinical partnerships with physicians in their
offices, in infusion suites and to patients in their home and
alternate-sites. A key component in the successful delivery of
infusion therapy services is the support of a high quality nursing
team. This division will utilize the Company's successful and well
respected nursing division to support this facet of its operations.
8
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
-------------------
HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT SERVICES: Through AMEDISYS Resource Management, the
Company provides home health care companies with a comprehensive menu of
management services. These include financial systems, general agency
management, new business development, management information systems and
support, and the development and implementation of quality improvement
programs, including preparation for the JCAHO accreditation process. Either
separately or as a complement to its management services, the Company offers
a proprietary software system designed to address the issues of Medicare cost
reimbursement, clinical outcomes data, patient utilization, scheduling and
multiple payor options.
PHYSICIAN PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SERVICES: This division provides business
management services, allowing physician group practices and independent
physician associations (IPO's) to remain a step ahead of their competition
through its innovative information and business systems. In addition, the
Company provides its clients with access to managed care contracts and group
purchasing discounts. Its years of experience in the health care arena
provide the Company with a basis of information and experience which
differentiates it from its competitors.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
- -----------------
The Company believes the health care industry is being challenged to be creative
in a way that is foreign to its history. There is a challenge for hospitals to
reduce waste and over spending and to change from a cost plus system to a price
sensitive, market driven business. Employers and insurers are seeking
alternative solutions to reduce the cost of providing health care benefits, and
federal and state governments are confronted with the need to decrease spending
in Medicare and Medicaid programs. AMEDISYS is in step with the industry trend
toward cost reduction and has positioned itself as the cost-effective
alternative.
With its broad menu of synergistic services, the Company is positioned to work
in partnership with managed care organizations, payors and physicians to create
a continuum of care that will not only benefit its referral sources, but
patients as well. It is developing integrated networks and strategic alliances
that will provide its customers with access to the highest quality care at
reasonable prices. These agreements are structured according to the Company's
understanding of the requirements and restrictions of health care laws and
regulations including the Stark legislation.
Congress recently included changes in regulations governing the reimbursement
system for home nursing care in its Medicare budget. The changes include a
provision for prospective pay which will take effect October 1, 1999. A
prospective payment system could enable efficient home health care operators to
retain their profits. The Company is positioned for this change since it has
reduced costs in its home health care delivery system and has developed and
implemented a software system which will provide a smooth transition from cost
reimbursement to prospective pay. Prior to the initiation of prospective pay,
Medicare authorities have indicated they expect to institute a fee reduction in
reimbursement rates for home health care. Congress has also enacted legislation
to curtail the growth in Medicare home health care reimbursement limits which
could potentially reduce these limits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The Company continued to show strong growth in revenue and earnings for the
third quarter in 1997. The Company's revenues increased by 20% and 23% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the
same periods last year. The largest increase in revenue was from the Management
Services division which had increases of 74% and 86% in the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the same period
in 1996. Outpatient surgery also showed significant growth in revenue of 38%
and 66% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively,
compared to those periods in 1996. Staffing and Patient Care services reported
growth in revenue of 14% and 13% for the reporting periods.
9
<PAGE>
Outpatient surgery revenue growth was due to the opening of St. Luke's
SurgiCenter in Hammond, LA in November, 1996. Home health care management
service, which is part of the Company's management service organization ("MSO"),
increased revenue primarily due to a significant contract signed in July, 1997.
The Company also continued to experience revenue growth from the sale of its
home health care software system.
Supplemental medical staffing, which is reported in staffing and patient care
services, showed revenue growth for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997, of 35% and 44%, respectively, over the same periods in 1996. Its
growth is attributable to increasing the scope of services including private
duty, as well as an increased demand for specialty nursing service in hospitals.
Gross margins increased by 4% and 0%, as a percentage of revenue, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997 over the same periods in 1996,
respectively. This increase during the 3 month period was due to increased
revenue and restructuring of medical management contracts with medical
facilities in the Management Services division. Gross margins decreased in the
Outpatient Surgery division in both periods due to reduced net revenue per case,
as well as, reduced case load. Additionally, revenues in Staffing and Patient
Care Services increased in both periods.
General and administrative expenses increased 26% and 18% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996. The
increases were due primarily to the additional outpatient surgery center and
increased costs in the Management Services division.
The Company's net income increased for the third consecutive quarter for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996. The Company's net income increased to $224,490 or $0.08 per share from
$55,917 or $0.02 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Net income for the nine months period ended September 30,
1997 was $898,005 or $0.33 per share compared to $502,273 or $0.19 per share in
the same period in 1996. The increased net income is attributable to
substantial growth in revenue in the Management Services and Staffing and
Patient Care Services division, as well as, cost controls instituted in the
Staffing and Patient Services division.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1997 the Company had revolving bank lines of credit of
$5,500,000 and $750,000, both bearing interest at prime rate plus 1%. As of
September 30, 1997, $1,022,415 was available under the combined lines of credit.
The lines of credit are collateralized by 80% of eligible receivables in
staffing and outpatient surgery, 75% of eligible receivables in home health
care, and 80% of physician notes receivable. Eligible receivables are defined
principally as accounts that are aged less than 90 days for staffing and
outpatient surgery and 120 days for home health care.
The Company's operating activities provided $1,095,233 during the first nine
months of 1997, whereas such activities provided $679,192 in cash during the
first nine months of 1996. This change is due to a decrease in the rate of
growth of accounts receivables from improved collections of amounts due. Cash
from operating activities improved even with substantial reduction of accounts
payable and increase in prepaid expenses. Net cash used in investing activities
remained relatively constant with $1,283,611 and $1,292,392 used for the nine
months ending September 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively. Purchases of furniture,
fixtures and equipment decreased $494,674; however, $465,000 was used to
purchase a home medical equipment entity, Care Medical and Mobility. Net cash
provided by financing activities decreased to $1,740,856 from $2,126,649 for the
nine months ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The change is due
to a decrease in the Company's borrowing on its lines of credit offset by
proceeds from a private stock placement.

<PAGE>
At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $2,214,864 and
stockholder's equity of $6,677,677. The Company's ratio of total liabilities to
equity at September 30, 1997 was 2.12 to 1.0. The Company's sources of external
and internal financing are limited. The Company may need to obtain additional
financing in order to meet future capital requirements. In April 1997, AMEDISYS
issued a total of 150,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $830,967
and in August, 1997 issued 115,518 shares of common stock in connection with the
acquisition of Care Medical and Mobility. To date, the Company has used no
other source of external financing.
SEASONALITY
The demand for the Company's home health care and management services are not
typically influenced by seasonal factors. However, demand for supplemental
staffing services is affected by variations in the hospital census at various
times of the year. Outpatient surgery services also experience seasonal
fluctuations.
