ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


                           PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net  patient  care  revenue  increased  2% to  $5,903,995  for the three
months ended  September  30, 1997 from  $5,784,856  for the three months ended
September  30,  1996.  This  increase  in  revenue  is due to the  acquisition
of Pioneer  Counseling  of  Virginia  in January  1997.  This  amount does not
include  $203,283 in  management  fees  generated  by BSC-NY,  Inc.  which was
acquired in November  1996.  The company  recorded a loss of $918,638  for the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to net income of $65,742
for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  This  decrease  in  net
income  is due in part to a  decline  in  census  in the  chemical  dependency
facilities and an overall  increase in provision for bad debts. Good Hope, the
Company's chemical dependency  facility in Rhode Island,  continues to operate
at a loss  because  of a decline  in  length of stay and lower  reimbursements
from third party payors.  However,  the Company's  management  team is focused
on reducing  expenses,  increasing  revenue and enhancing  programming and has
recently  established new contracts which should help to stabilize the patient
census.  Also  contributing  to the decline in Net Income is the continued low
census at the Company's  long-term care  facility.  The occupancy rate for the
long-term  care  facility for the three months  ended  September  30, 1997 was
67.0% as  compared  to 94.1% for the same  period  last  year.  The  Company's
intention is to sell  Franvale  allowing  management  to focus its  efforts on
its core business.

      Net  patient  care  revenue for  Pioneer's  core  behavioral  healthcare
business  increased to  $5,177,495  for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997
from   $4,346,076   for  the  same   period   in  1996.   This   increase   in
revenue is due primarily to newly  acquired  psychiatric  practice in Virginia
and the  Management  fees  generated by BSC-NY,  Inc. Net patient care revenue
for the  long  term  care  facility  decreased  to  $1,133,260  for the  three
months  ended  September  30,  1997  from  $1,571,984  for  the  three  months
ended September  30,  1996 due to the decline in patient census.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      A  significant  factor in the  liquidity and cash flow of the Company is
the  timely  collection  of  its  accounts  receivable.   Accounts  receivable
decreased  during  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 by  approximately
$88,500.  This small decrease in  receivables  is due to continued  success in
the  collection  of  the   receivables  of  new   acquisitions.   The  Company
continues to closely  monitor its accounts  receivable  balances and implement
procedures and policies,  including more aggressive collection techniques,  to
manage receivables growth and keep it consistent with growth in revenues.

      The Company  believes  that it has the  necessary  liquidity and capital
resources and contingent  funding  commitments to sustain existing  operations
for  the  foreseeable   future.   The  Company  also  intends  to  expand  its
operations  through the acquisition or establishment of additional  behavioral
healthcare  related   businesses.   The  Company's  expansion  plans  will  be
dependent upon obtaining adequate financing as such opportunities arise.

      During the current quarter the company issued  172,414 Shares of
Unregistered Class A Common Stock to ProFutures Special Equities Fund, L. P.
resulting in proceeds to the Company of approximately $445,000.

PART II           OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

      The  Company  received  a notice  from  Pioneer  Health  Care,  Inc.,  a
Massachusetts  non-profit  corporation  demanding that the Company discontinue
use of its  PIONEER  HEALTHCARE  trademark  upon the  grounds  that   mark
infringes  the rights of Pioneer  Health  Care,  Inc.  under  applicable  law.
Pioneer  Health Care,  Inc.  threatened  to proceed with the  necessary  legal
action to prevent the  Company  from using the PIONEER  HEALTHCARE  mark,  and
to seek a cancellation  of the  registration  that has been issued by the U.S.
Patent Trademark Office (the "PTO") to the Company for the PIONEER  HEALTHCARE
mark,  unless the Company  complied with this demand.  The Company  refused to
comply  with  this  demand,  whereupon  Pioneer  Health  Care,  Inc.  filed  a
petition in the PTO seeking the  cancellation  of the  Company's  registration
of  its  PIONEER  HEALTHCARE   trademark.   The  Company  thereupon  commenced
litigation  in  the  United  States   District   Court  for  the  District  of
Massachusetts  seeking  a  declaratory  judgment  that its use of the  PIONEER
HEALTHCARE  trademark  does not  infringe  any rights of Pioneer  Health Care,
Inc.  under  applicable  law,  and  that  it has the  right  to  maintain  its
registration of that mark.  Pioneer Health Care, Inc. has filed a counterclaim
in that litigation  seeking injunctive and monetary relief against the Company
upon  claims  of  trademark   infringement,   trademark  dilution  and  unfair
competition.   The  Company  is  defending  itself  vigorously  against  those
claims.   Proceedings   upon  the  petition  filed  by  Pioneer  Health  Care,
Inc. in the PTO seeking the  cancellation  of the  Company's  registration  of
its PIONEER  HEALTHCARE  trademark  have been stayed pending the resolution of
the  litigation  between the  parties.  Although the Company  regards  Pioneer
Health Care, Inc.'s  counterclaims as being without merit, an adverse decision
could result in money damages against the Company and required  discontinuance
by the Company of the  PIONEER  HEALTHCARE  mark could  result in costs to the
Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      In January  1996,  the Company  received  notice that  Mullikin  Medical
Center,  A Medical  Group,  Inc.,  located  in  Artesia,  California,  filed a
petition with the PTO seeking  cancellation of the registration of the PIONEER
HEALTHCARE mark. This  cancellation  proceeding has been suspended pending the
outcome of the litigation described above.
