OUR COMPANY
Our Company is a national health care company, which provides psychiatric
services primarily to individuals who have alcohol and drug dependency, related
disorders and to individuals in the gaming and trucking industry. We operate
substance abuse treatment facilities in Utah and Virginia, four outpatient
psychiatric facilities in Michigan, two outpatient psychiatric facilities in
Nevada and an inpatient psychiatric facility in Michigan. We also provide
management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological
practices in New York and operate a website, Behavioralhealthonline.com, which
provides education, training and materials to behavioral health professionals.
Our Company provides behavioral health services and products through
inpatient and outpatient facilities and online to behavioral health
professionals. Our substance abuse facilities provide specialized treatment
services to patients who typically have poor recovery prognoses and who are
prone to relapse. These services are offered in small specialty care facilities,
which permit us to provide our clients with efficient and customized treatment
without the significant costs associated with the management and operation of
general acute care hospitals. We tailor these programs and services to
"safety-sensitive" industries and concentrate our marketing efforts on the
transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law
enforcement, gaming and health services industries. Our psychiatric facility
provides inpatient psychiatric care and intensive outpatient treatment, referred
to as partial hospitalization, to children, adolescents and adults. Our
outpatient mental health clinics provide services to employees of major
employers, as well as to managed care, Medicare and Medicaid clients. The
psychiatric services are offered in a larger, more traditional setting than
PHC's substance abuse facilities, enabling PHC to take advantage of economies of
scale to provide cost-effective treatment alternatives.
The Company treats employees who have been referred for treatment as a
result of compliance with Subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988
(commonly known as the Drug Free Workplace Act), which requires employers who
are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug-free
awareness programs which, among other things, inform employees about
available drug counseling; rehabilitation and employee assistance programs.
We also provide treatment under the Department of Transportation implemented
regulations, which broaden the coverage and scope of alcohol and drug testing
for employees in "safety sensitive" positions in the transportation industry.
The Company was incorporated in 1976 and is a Massachusetts
corporation. Our corporate offices are located at 200 Lake Street, Suite
102, Peabody, MA 01960 and our telephone number is (978) 536-2777.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered hereby is speculative in nature and
involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this
prospectus, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating whether to invest in the securities offered hereby.
OPERATING RISKS
The concentration of accounts receivable due from government payors
could create a severe cash flow problem should these agencies fail to make
timely payment. We had substantial receivables from Medicaid and Medicare of
approximately $150,000 at December 31, 1999 and $400,000 at June 30, 1999,
which would create a cash flow problem should these agencies defer or fail to
make reimbursement payments as due, which would require us to borrow at
unfavorable rates.
If managed care organizations delay approving treatment, or reduce the
patient length of stay or number of visits or reimbursement, our company's
ability to meet operating expenses is affected. As managed care organizations
and insurance companies adopt policies that limit the length of stay for
substance abuse treatment, our business is materially adversely affected since
our revenues and cash flow go down and our fixed operating expenses continue.
Reimbursement for substance abuse and psychiatric treatment from private
insurers is largely dependent on our ability to substantiate the medical
necessity of treatment. The process of substantiating a claim often takes up to
four months and sometimes longer; as a result, we experience significant delays
in the collection of amounts reimbursable by third-party payors, which adversely
affects our working capital condition.
As our accounts receivable age and become uncollectable our cash flow
is negatively impacted. Our accounts receivable (net of allowance for bad
debts) were $6,498,365 at September 30, 1999 compared with $6,938,227 at June
30, 1999 and $8,126,972 at June 30, 1998. As we expand, we will be required
to seek payment from a larger number of payors and the amount of accounts
receivable will likely increase. The overall decrease in current accounts
receivable is due primarily to significant increases in reserves due to our
more aggressive reserve policies established in June 1997. If the amount of
receivables, which eventually become uncollectible, exceeds such reserves, we
could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any decrease in our
ability to collect our accounts receivable or any further delay in the
collection of accounts receivable would have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes
related thereto included herein or incorporated herein by reference.
Due to the Company's current high debt to equity ratio and recent
losses from operations, if the Company needs additional financing it may
require borrowing at unfavorable rates. We are utilizing, to the maximum
extent, our accounts receivable funding facilities, which bear interest at
the prime rate plus 2.25%, to meet our current cash needs. Should we require
additional funds to meet our cash flow requirements or to fund growth or new
investments, we may be required to meet these needs with more costly
financing. If we are unable to obtain needed financing, it could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, operations and business
prospects. See Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included
or incorporated into this prospectus by reference.
The Company's reliance on contracts with key clients to maintain
sufficient patient census would impact our ability to meet our fixed costs
should one or more of these clients cancel contracts or be unable to pay for
services rendered. We have entered into relationships with large employers,
health care institutions and labor unions to provide treatment for
psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction
with employer-sponsored employee assistance programs. The employees of such
institutions may be referred to us for treatment, the cost of which is
reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 30% of our total
revenue is derived from these key clients. No one of these large employers,
health care institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or
more of our consolidated revenues, the loss of any of these key clients would
require us to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and
would result in revenue losses and attendant loss in income.
Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state and local
regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish maximum reimbursement
levels and limit expansion. Our Company and the health care industry are
subject to rapid regulatory change with respect to licensure and conduct of
operations at existing facilities, construction of new facilities,
acquisition of existing facilities, the addition of new services, compliance
with physical plant safety and land use requirements, implementation of
certain capital expenditures, reimbursement for services rendered and
periodic government inspections. Governmental budgetary restrictions have
resulted in limited reimbursement rates in the healthcare industry including
our Company. As a result of these restrictions we cannot be certain that
payments under government programs will remain at a level comparable to the
present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to such
patients. In addition, many states, including the State of Michigan, are
considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets.
Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole
source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to
obtain patients. Private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a
lesser extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific
services, including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish
small, specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed
reimbursement rates. Continued growth in the use of carve-out systems could
materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to
participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate
is not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.
If we acquire new businesses or expand our businesses, the operating costs
may be far greater than revenues for a significant period of time. The operating
losses and negative cash flow associated with start-up operations or
acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and
liquidity unless and until such facilities are fully integrated with our other
operations and become self sufficient. Until such time we may be required to
borrow at higher rates and less favorable terms.
The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in which we
operate may create staffing shortages. Our success depends, in large part,
on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly
skilled health care personnel, which are in short supply. We face
competition for such personnel from governmental agencies, health care
providers and other companies and are constantly increasing our employee
benefit programs, and related costs, to maintain required levels of skilled
professionals. These increasing costs impact our profitability.
MANAGEMENT RISKS
Bruce A. Shear is in control of the company and elects a majority of the
board of directors. Since Bruce A. Shear and his affiliates own and control
92.3% of the class B common stock, he has the right to elect three of the five
members of the Board of Directors.
Retention of key personnel with knowledge of key contracts and clients
is essential to the success of the Company. PHC is highly dependent on the
principal members of its management and professional staff, particularly
Bruce A. Shear, PHC's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert H.
Boswell, PHC's Senior Vice President and the other members of PHC's
management and their continued relationship with key clients.
MARKET RISKS
The Nasdaq Stock Market may delist the Company's stock from the Nasdaq
exchange if the Company fails to meet listing requirements. The Nasdaq staff
has notified us of its concern regarding the continued listing of our Common
Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market based on our failure to maintain a
minimum bid price greater than $1.00 over thirty consecutive trading days as
required. Nasdaq has also advised us that we are not in compliance with the
required Net Tangible Assets for listing. We believe that we are now in
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement since our bid price for
Common Stock has closed higher than $1.00 for the past 15 trading days. We
have discussed the net tangible asset requirement with the Nasdaq and believe
that we will be in compliance with this requirement following the close of
our current fiscal year. We are awaiting response from the Nasdaq as to
whether it will grant us the time required to get into compliance with this
requirement.
Should the Company's securities be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock
Market, stockholders may have difficulty selling the stock. If our Common
Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the Common Stock would be traded on the
bulletin board. Cost of trading on the bulletin board can be more than the
cost of trading on the SmallCap market and since there may be an absence of
market makers on the bulletin board the price may be more volatile and it may
be harder to sell the securities.
If our common stock is not actively traded, the small number of
transactions can result in significant swings in the market price, and it may
be difficult for stockholders to dispose of stock in a timely way at a
desirable market price or may result in purchasing of shares for a higher
price.
Our right to issue convertible preferred stock may adversely affect the
rights of the common stock. Our Board of Directors has the right to establish
the preferences for and issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock without
further stockholder action. The terms of any series of preferred stock, which
may include priority claims to assets and dividends and special voting rights,
could adversely affect the market price of and the ability to sell common stock.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
It is estimated that the following expenses will be incurred in connection
with the proposed offering hereunder.
SEC Registration Fee $ 749.36
NASDAQ Registration Fee $ 17,500.00
Legal Fees and Expenses $ 20,000.00
Accounting Fees and Expenses $ 13,000.00
Miscellaneous $ 1,750.64
Total $ 53,000.00
The Registrant will bear all expenses shown above.
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 6 of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Organization provides,
in part, that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, trustees, officers,
employees and agents against all liabilities, costs and expenses, including but
not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in settlement or as
fines and penalties, and counsel fees, reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or disposition of or otherwise in connection with or
resulting from any action, suit or proceeding in which such director or officer
may be involved or with which he may be threatened, while in office or
thereafter, by reason of his actions or omissions in connection with services
rendered directly or indirectly to the Registrant during his term of office,
such indemnification to include prompt payment of expenses in advance of the
final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding.
In addition, the Restated Articles of Organization of the Registrant, under
authority of the Business Corporation Law of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, or (3) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. The foregoing provision also is inapplicable to situations
wherein a director has voted for, or assented to the declaration of, a dividend,
repurchase of shares, distribution, or the making of a loan to an officer or
director, in each case where the same occurs in violation of applicable law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of PHC pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, PHC has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by PHC of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of PHC in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, PHC will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for PHC, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation
("PHC"), with respect to PHC's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No.

"Registration Statement") in connection with the Company's registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 1,966,421 shares of the
Class A Common Stock.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined, among other things, such
federal and state laws and originals and/or copies (certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction) of such corporate and other documents,
certificates, and other records as we deemed necessary or appropriate to the
purposes of preparing this opinion. Based on the foregoing, we hereby advise you
that we are of the opinion that the 1,966,421 shares of Common Stock subject to
the Registration Statement have been duly and validly authorized for issuance
and that such shares are, or will be when issued in accordance with the terms of
the warrants, convertible debentures or price guaranty promissory notes referred
to in the Registration Statement, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to such
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Registration
Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
