                        AMEDISYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.   UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The financial information as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, included herein is
unaudited; however, such information reflects, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods.  Results
of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
of operations which will be realized for the year ending December 31, 1998.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's annual financial statements and related notes in the
Company's Form 10-K.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," which simplifies the computation of earnings per share (EPS).  The
Company adopted SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997.  SFAS No. 128
requires the restatement of prior years' EPS data; however, application of the
statement has no impact on the Company's prior years' EPS data.

     Basic net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net
income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted net income per share is not
presented as stock options and convertible securities outstanding during the
periods presented were not dilutive.

3.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Accounting for Start-up Costs. During April 1998, the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee of the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP"),
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." The SOP requires costs of 
start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The SOP
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998. The Company elected to write off start-up costs in the fourth quarter
of 1997 in anticipation of the issuance of the SOP.

     Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  In June
1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities".  The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.  The
Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses
to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and
requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  SFAS 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and must be applied to
instruments issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997.
The Company does not expect the adoption of the accounting pronouncement to have
a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
4.   MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT REDUCTIONS AND RELATED RESTRUCTURING

     The Company derives approximately 40% of its revenues from the Medicare
system.  In 1997, Congress approved the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Budget
Act").  The Budget Act established an interim payment system (the "IPS") that
provided for the lowering of reimbursement limits for home health visits. For
cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1997, Medicare-
reimbursed home health agencies will have their cost 

                                                                               6
<PAGE>
 
limits determined as the lesser of (i) their actual costs, (ii) cost limits
based on 105% of median costs of freestanding home health agencies, or (iii) an
agency-specific per-patient cost limit, based on 98% of 1994 costs adjusted for
inflation. The new IPS cost limits will apply to the Company for the cost
reporting period beginning January 1, 1998. On March 31, 1998, the government
released its final determination and definitions of the new IPS cost limits.
These changes in the reimbursement of home health agencies will result in a
significant impact on the profitability of these services. There is currently
proposed legislation that may alter the determination of the IPS cost limits.

     IPS was implemented to position the home care industry for a Prospective
Payment System (PPS) which is to be implemented for cost reporting periods
beginning on or after October 1, 1999.  Although PPS is not defined at this
time, it will take into consideration an appropriate unit of service and number
of visits within that unit, variations in the acuity of patients and the related
costs, and a general system design that provides for continued access to quality
services.

     During the 1st quarter of 1998, the Company initiated a restructuring plan
which included cost reductions and productivity enhancements to position the
Company to be successful under the new IPS, as well as PPS.  The Company reduced
operational cost, increased operational efficiencies and enhanced marketing
efforts, which should result in projected annualized cost savings of
approximately $5 million.  The restructuring was substantially completed as of
June 30, 1998.

     The implementation of IPS and the strategic decisions made by management
has resulted in a decrease to net revenues in the first and second quarters of
1998.  The Company also expects to report losses in the third quarter of 1998
due to IPS.

     As the home care industry faces changes in reimbursement structure,
Amedisys is committed to improve and streamline systems and take appropriate
actions to combat these changes and create a company focused on long-term
growth.

5.   ACCRUED PAYROLL AND PAYROLL TAXES

     The Company currently has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
relating to a subsidiary of the Company.  During the second quarter of 1998, the
Company issued stock in the subsidiary valued at $705,000 to the ESOP.

4.   PLACEMENT OF PREFERRED STOCK

     In March, 1998, Amedisys completed a secondary phase of its private
placement of $.001 par value convertible preferred stock pursuant to Regulation
D of the Securities Act of 1933.  The Company issued an additional 350,000
shares at $10 per share for gross proceeds of $3.5 million.  The Company  has
used the proceeds of this placement to fund synergistic acquisitions within the
South East and South Central regions of the U.S. in order to accelerate the
growth of its fully integrated network of outpatient health care services
including the Alternate Site Infusion Therapy division.  These shares are
convertible into 756,757 shares of common stock which is equivalent to $4.625
per share.

5.   ACQUISITIONS

10.  NOTES PAYABLE

     Notes payable consist primarily of borrowings under revolving bank lines of
credit of $7,500,000 and $750,000,  bearing interest at bank prime plus 1.5% and
bank prime plus 1%, respectively.   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.  At June 30, 1998, approximately $109,000 was available based on eligible
receivables under the combined lines of credit. The line of credit is subject to
certain covenants, including a monthly borrowing base, a debt service coverage
ratio, and a leverage ratio. At December 31, 1997, March 31, 1998, and June 30,
1998, the Company was in default on the debt service coverage ratio requirement
of 1.1 : 1.0 due to the losses incurred in these periods. This default was

11.  OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

     Included in Other Current Assets at June 30, 1998 is a deferred tax asset
of $2,279,000 resulting from the first and second quarter 1998 losses.  The
Company anticipates carrying back taxable losses to previous years in which the
Company paid income taxes or generating taxable income in future periods to
offset the first and second quarter 1998 losses.

13.  RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

      On June 2, 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase a
portion of Columbia/HCA homecare operations subject to satisfactory completion
of due diligence and approval by the Board of Directors of both companies.   The
homecare operations covered by the letter of intent are located in the states of
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee and may
include up to 116 offices and 50 Medicare provider numbers.  The Company is
currently conducting due diligence and negotiating with investment banks to
obtain financing for the purchase of these operations.


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

     Amedisys, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading multi-regional provider of
fully integrated alternate-site health care services.  The Company's
alternative-site provider services division offers the following services:
infusion therapy;  home health nursing services; and ambulatory surgery centers.
Its management services division includes staffing and professional services and
provider management services.   The Company operates 55 offices within a network
of  subsidiaries in the southern United States.

     During the 1st quarter of 1998, the Company initiated a restructuring
plan which included cost reductions and productivity enhancements to position
the Company to be successful under the new IPS, as well as PPS (See note 4 to
financial statements).  The Company reduced operational costs, increased
operational efficiencies and enhanced marketing efforts, which should result in
projected annualized cost savings of approximately $5 million. The restructuring
was substantially completed as of June 30, 1998.

     The implementation of IPS and the strategic decisions made by management
has resulted in a decrease to net revenues in the 1st and 2nd  quarters of
1998.  The Company also expects to reports losses in the 3rd quarter of 1998
due to IPS while showing improved operating results.

     The Company is developing a restructuring strategy which includes focusing
on the core business of being a home health care provider of nursing and
infusion therapy services.  As a result, the Company is currently evaluating
opportunities to divest its non-core businesses, including supplemental
staffing, ambulatory surgery centers, and management services division.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues.  Net revenues decreased 15% and 10% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997.  Home Health
Nursing division's net revenues decreased $2,067,000 or 34% for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and $3,241,000 or 26% for the six months ended June 30,
1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997.  This decrease was due to the
reductions in Medicare reimbursement rates as a result of the IPS and a
reduction in visits, offset by acquisitions made during the periods.   Visits
for the three month period ended June 30 decreased from 98,916 in 1997 to 68,205
in 1998, inclusive of the acquisitions made in the second quarter of 1998.  For
the six months period ended June 30, visits decreased from 202,309 in 1997 to
167,349 in 1998, inclusive of the acquisitions made in the first and second
quarters of 1998.  Offsetting these comparative decreases in net revenues in the
Home Health Nursing division were revenues relating to the acquisition of Care
Medical & Mobility in August 1997 and the startup and acquisitions in the
Alternative Site Infusion Therapy division.  Care Medical & Mobility recorded
net revenues of $730,000 and $1,133,000 for the three and six month periods
ending June 30, 1998, and Alternate Site Infusion Therapy recorded net revenues
of $877,000 and $1,410,000 for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1998.

                                                                              11
<PAGE>
 
     Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues decreased by 18% and 10% for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997.  As
a percentage of the net revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 57% in the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from 58% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
For the six month periods ended June 1997 and 1998, cost of revenues as a
percentage of net revenues have remained consistent at 59%.

     General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A").  General and administrative
expenses increased by 55% and 66% for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997.  An increase of $2,153,000 and
$4,382,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 is directly
attributable to additional personnel and related expenses to support the startup
of the Alternate Site Infusion Therapy division as well as the Company's recent
acquisitions.  Additionally, G&A expenses increased approximately $438,000 and
$1,188,000 from the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 to 1998 due to the
addition of experienced, senior management and increased resources for marketing
and managed care sales.  These additions should enable the Company to achieve
its planned growth and position it to be a leader in the alternate-site
healthcare services market.

     Provision for Estimated Income Taxes.  The Company recorded a tax benefit
of 34% of pre-tax loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

     Net Income (Loss).  As a result of the reasons described above, the Company
had a net loss of ($1,903,000) for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared
with net income of $373,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  For the
six month period ending June 30, 1998, the Company recorded a net loss of
($4,424,000) as compared to net income of $674,000 for the same period in 1997.
The company expects the loss to be significantly reduced during the latter half
of 1998 after all the cost reductions are implemented; however, there can be no
assurance the Company will be able to achieve the expected cost savings from its
restructuring efforts or will be able to reduce costs without negatively
impacting operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Notes payable consist primarily of borrowings under revolving bank lines of
credit of $7,500,000 and $750,000,  bearing interest at bank prime plus 1.5% and
bank prime plus 1%, respectively.  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.  At June 30, 1998, approximately $109,000 was available based on eligible
receivables under the combined lines of credit.  The line of credit is subject
to certain covenants, including a monthly borrowing base, a debt service
coverage ratio, and a leverage ratio.  At December 31, 1997, March 31, 1998, and
June 30,1998, the Company was in default on the debt service coverage ratio
requirement of 1.1 : 1.0 due to the losses incurred in these periods.  This
default was waived by the bank through June 30, 1998.

     The Company's operating activities used $3,620,000 during the first six
months of 1998, whereas such activities provided $242,000 in cash during the
first six months of 1997.   This increase in cash used in operating activities
is primarily attributable to net losses partially offset by a decrease in
accounts receivable.  Net cash used in investing activities increased to
$3,602,000 from $703,000 for the six months ending June 30, 1998 and 1997
respectively.  Purchases of furniture, fixtures and equipment increased $871,000
in addition to $2,005,000 used to purchase several acquisitions.  Net cash
provided by financing activities increased to $3,623,000 from $1,818,000 for the
six months ending June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The change is primarily
due to a proceeds from a private placement of preferred stock.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had negative working capital of ($3,804,000)
and stockholder's equity of $8,763,000.  The Company's ratio of total
liabilities to equity at June 30, 1998 was 2.2 to 1.0.  The Company's sources of
external and internal financing are limited.  The Company will need to obtain
additional financing in order to meet future capital requirements or complete
further acquisitions.

                                                                              12

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities".  The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.  The
Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses
to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and
requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  SFAS 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and must be applied to
instruments issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997.
The Company does not expect the adoption of the accounting pronouncement to have
a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE ISSUES

     The Company is currently evaluating its information system for the Year
2000 compliance.  The Company does not anticipate any material disruption in its
operations resulting from any failure by the Company to achieve compliance.  At
present, the Company does not have, but expects to solicit, information
concerning the Year 2000 compliance status of its suppliers, customers, and
payors.  In the event that any of the Company's significant suppliers,
customers, or payors does not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000
compliance, the Company's business or operations could be adversely affected.

ITEM 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     During the second quarter of 1998, the Company's Nasdaq trading symbol was
changed from "AMED" to "AMEDE".   This trading symbol change resulted from the
Company's lack of compliance with Nasdaq criteria pertaining to net tangible
assets as a result of acquisitions and operating losses in the first and second
quarters of 1998.

ITEM 3.   DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

     At June 30, 1998, the Company was in default on the $7,500,000 revolving
bank line of credit.  The line of credit is collateralized by accounts
receivable and is subject to certain covenants, including a monthly borrowing
base, a debt service coverage ratio, and a leverage ratio.  The Company was in
default on the debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.1 : 1.0 due to the
losses incurred in these periods.  This default was waived by the bank.

                                                                              13
