ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998
totaled $18,301,476 compared to $7,298,784 reported for the three months ended
June 30, 1997.  This represents an increase of 151% and was principally the
result of an increase in the number of facilities operated in the current
period versus last year.  At the end of the June 1998 quarter the Company
operated 33 facilities compared to 12 facilities at the end of the June 1997
quarter.  Also included in the current period were management service revenues
of $738,927 related to the two hospitals the Company began managing in the
December 1997 quarter and four Massachusetts nursing facilities the Company
began managing in the March 1998 quarter.  Other income totaled $497,522 in
the current quarter versus $128,604 reported last year, with the increase
principally the result of higher interest income.

Operating expenses for the June 1998 quarter totaled $19,274,025 compared to
$7,657,782 in the June 1997 quarter.  This also represents an increase of 151%
from a year ago and is directly related to the growth in the number of
facilities operated by the Company.  The cost for patient services totaled
$13,397,700 in the current period versus $5,604,995 last year.  Lease expense
in the June 1998 quarter was $1,248,519 versus $137,381 in the June 1997
quarter, as the number of leased facilities grew to 12 in the current quarter
from only 2 facilities last year.  Depreciation and amortization expense was
$529,659 in the June 1998 quarter versus $254,031 in 1997, and was also
impacted by the growth in owned facilities from the year earlier.  The current
quarter included 15 owned facilities versus a total of 9 owned facilities last
year.

Provision for bad debts in the June 1998 quarter totaled $120,000 versus
$85,653 in the June 1997 quarter.  General and administrative expense


                                    9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
increased to $3,978,147 in the current period from $906,972 reported last
year.  This significant increase reflects the rapid growth the Company has
experienced in the past year and the impact it has had on corporate personnel
and salaries, insurance, travel expenses, supplies and legal and professional
fees.  The June 1997 quarter expense levels were also impacted by shareholder
settlements totaling $668,750.

Interest expense in the June 1998 quarter totaled $1,772,653 versus $637,410
in the June 1997 quarter, reflecting a higher average level of debt
outstanding.

The loss before taxes from continuing operations was $2,745,202 in the current
period versus a loss before taxes from continuing operations of $996,408
reported in 1997.  After an allowance for income tax credits, net loss was
$1,805,202 ($0.15 basic and diluted per common share) in the current quarter
compared to a net income of $28,335 (less than one cent basic and diluted per
common share) in the June 1997 quarter.  Included in the previous year's
results was an after-tax gain of $508,743 from the refinancing and retirement
of debt.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998
totaled $31,952,829, an increase of 127% from the $14,066,563 reported for the
six months ended June 30, 1997.  The increase reflects the growth in the
number of facilities operated by the Company.  The results for the current
year also reflects management fees totaling $1,463,990 stemming from the
management of two hospitals begun in the December 1997 quarter and four
Massachusetts nursing facilities begun in the March 1998 quarter.  Other
income increased to $904,484 from $223,490, principally from higher interest
income.

Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $34,141,178 versus
$14,313,765 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of 138%.  Once
again, the primary reason for the increase was the growth in the number of
facilities operated by the facility in the current period from last year.  The
cost for patient services increased 122% to $23,655,564 in the current period
from $10,652,388 reported last year, reflecting the growth in facilities. 
Lease expense totaled $1,779,764 in 1998 versus $304,618 in 1997, as more
leased facilities were added during the year.  Depreciation and amortization
expense totaled $1,061,305 in the current six month period compared to
$499,283 a year ago, and was directly related to the number of facilities
operated.  

The provision for bad debts totaled $638,940 for the first six months of 1998
versus $352,803 for the first six months of 1997.  General and administrative
expenses were $7,005,605 in the current year compared to $1,835,923 a year
earlier, and were impacted by the growth in operations and the build up of the
management team, which mainly occurred after the June 1997 quarter.

Interest expense increased to $3,377,478 in the current year from $998,334 in
1997, principally the result of a higher average level of debt outstanding.

The loss before taxes was $5,565,827 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
versus a loss before taxes of $1,245,536 for the six months ended June 30,
1997.  After allowance for income tax credits, net loss for the current period
was $3,665,827 ($0.30 basic and diluted per common share) compared to a net
loss of $8,773 (less than one cent basic and diluted per common share)

                                    10

<PAGE>
reported last year.  Included in the previous years results was an after-tax
loss of $77,852 from a discontinued business unit and an after-tax gain of
$798,615 from the refinancing and retirement of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company had positive working capital of $317,249 versus
a working capital deficit of $2,301,668 at December 31, 1997.  During the June
1997 quarter, the Company implemented a new $10 million line of credit, with
the available amount based on the balance of specific accounts receivable.  
At June 30, 1998, the available amount was approximately $5 million, of which
all was drawn.  The term of the agreement is for three years with an annual
one year roll over feature.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, cash used in operating activities
totaled $6,973,119 versus cash provided by operations of $217,539 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  The primary reason for the increase in cash used
in operating activities was the increase in net loss for the current six
months, an increase in accounts and other receivables, and the provision for
deferred taxes.  These were offset to a certain degree by increases in
depreciation and amortization expense and provisions for bad debts.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $18,362,924 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 versus cash used in investing activities of $5,258,014 in 1997. 
The increase in investing activities was principally the result of purchases
of property and equipment, advances to related parties, payments of deferred
costs and an acquisition deposit.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30,
1998 totaled $23,038,444 compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$2,227,097 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  In the six months ended
June 30, 1998 cash was provided by two private placement transactions, a
convertible debenture offering and a common stock offering, which totaled
$5,000,000 and $2,546,785 respectively.  In addition, proceeds from notes
payable were $11,250,000 and an additional 1,735,006 was drawn on the
Company's line of credit.  Repayment of long-term debt totaled $4,062,387. 
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, proceeds from long-term debt were
$22,462,500 and repayment of long-term debt totaled $21,235,403.

The Company believes that its long-term liquidity needs will generally be met
by improved cash flows from operations and it will be able to, when necessary,
obtain extensions of its current line of credit and/or secure other financing
from the private or public sector.

The Company presently has no commitments for material capital expenditures.

IMPACT OF FEDERAL HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION

In August of 1997, the Federal Government enacted the Balanced Budget Act of
1997, which has a goal of achieving a balanced federal budget.  Among the
numerous actions taken was a multi-billion dollar spending growth reduction
for the Medicare program over the next several years.  The reductions will
partially result from the implementation of a Medicare prospective payment
system (PPS) at skilled nursing facilities.  The phase-in of the PPS began on
July 1, 1998, for a limited number of the Company's facilities, with the
remaining facilities to be effective on January 1, 1999.

For nursing homes that participated in the Medicare program prior to October
1995, the Medicare PPS rates will be phased in over a four year period. 
During the first three years, the rates will be established by a blend of
facility-specific costs and a federally determined acuity level rate.  The
portion of the rate affected by acuity level will increase from 25% in year
one to 75% by year three.  In year four, the entire PPS rate will be based on
federally determined acuity levels.  Nursing homes that were not in the
Medicare program prior to October 1995 will go directly to the federally
determined acuity level rate.

In addition to the PPS, other legislative changes centered on reducing
healthcare fraud and abuse, developing new options for Medicare and Medicaid
health plans, and setting annual limits on Part B therapy charges.  Also,
there will be a 10% reduction in Part B therapy costs for the calendar year
1998.  On January 1, 1999, reimbursement rates for these services will be
established by the Federal Government.

For the first six months of 1998, the Company derived approximately 22.6% of
its revenues from Medicare.  Since only a limited number of facilities are
currently being impacted by this new legislation, the Company has not been
able to ascertain the total impact on revenues.  It is anticipated, however,
that the overall effect on Medicare revenues will tend to be negative. 
However, management believes that it will be able to offset this decrease in
Medicare revenue with a corresponding decrease in operating expense.

The regulations relating to the aforementioned legislation are still within
the comment period and lobbying efforts are taking place to change certain
aspects and methodology of computing the PPS rates.  At this time it is
unclear as to the effects of the changes, if any, that may occur.
