    (e)   Change of Control Transactions


     On February 22, 1996, the Company completed a series of transactions
with CW Ventures II, L.P. ("CW Ventures") and with Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of New Jersey, Inc. ("BCBSNJ") which resulted in control of the
Company being transferred to CW Ventures and BCBSNJ.  CW Ventures is a New
York limited partnership operating as a venture capital fund and managed
by a general partner, CW Partners III, L.P. ("CW Partners").

     The transactions included the sale to CW Ventures pursuant to a
$150,000 loan extended by CW Ventures on February 6, 1996 (the "Bridge
Financing") of a $150,000 promissory note (the "Bridge Note") and the
subsequent sale to CW Ventures on February 22, 1996 for an additional
$2,850,000 in cash payments by CW Ventures (less $75,000 of CW Ventures'
expenses reimbursed by the Company) and in exchange for and in
cancellation of the Bridge Note; of 23,419,204 shares of the Company's
Common Stock (at a purchase price of $0.0427 per share) and a $2,000,000
principal amount 8% Exchangeable Note maturing on June 30, 1998 (the "CW
Note") issued by CareAdvantage Health Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("CAHS"), pursuant to a securities purchase
agreement (the "Purchase Agreement").  The CW Note, which is guaranteed by
the Company and CHCM (as such term is defined infra.), and which is
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries, is exchangeable into that number of shares of Common Stock
as would equal approximately 23 1/3% of the outstanding shares on a fully
diluted basis so that the 23,419,204 shares issued to CW Ventures together
with the shares issuable upon exchange of the CW Note would comprise
approximately 35% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis.  In addition, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the
Company issued to CW Ventures for nominal consideration, five-year
warrants (the "CW Warrants") exercisable to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock with an exercise price per share equal to $0.16.

     Concurrently with the February 22, 1996 closing of the Purchase
Agreement, CAHS purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of
Contemporary HealthCare Management, Inc. ("CHCM") from a wholly- owned
BCBSNJ subsidiary, Enterprise Holding Company, Inc. ("EHC") pursuant to a
stock acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement").  The CHCM stock
was acquired in exchange for CAHS' $3,600,000 principal amount 8%
Exchangeable Note maturing on June 30, 1998 (the "EHC Note"), guaranteed
by the Company and CHCM and secured by substantially all of the assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries.


<PAGE>

<PAGE>

     The EHC Note is exchangeable into that number of shares of Common
Stock as would equal approximately 40% of the outstanding shares on a
fully diluted basis.

     At the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, CHCM executed an
approximately seven-year services agreement terminating on December 31,
2002 (the "Services Agreement") providing for the continued rendering of
cost containment services by CHCM to BCBSNJ.  The Services Agreement
required BCBSNJ to pay a monthly "interim payment" of $833,333 (subject to
recoupment under certain circumstances) to CHCM with respect to each
service month in calendar 1996 and in subsequent years, to pay a monthly
service fee reduced by a "trailing monthly adjustment" based on
performance.  As a result of the Company's inability to meet certain
performance goals defined in the Services Agreement, however, it is likely
that approximately $2,000,000 will be returned to BCBSNJ during calendar year
1997.  At the closing, BCBSNJ paid an aggregate $731,679 to CHCM
representing the balance of the outstanding intercompany payables as of
January 31, 1996.  The Services Agreement permits BCBSNJ to terminate same
with or without cause, on 90 days' prior notice.  In the event of
termination without cause prior to January 1, 2001, BCBSNJ is required to
pay liquidated damages to CHCM equal to (i) 40% of the fair market value
of the Company as of such termination date after giving effect to BCBSNJ's
required payments, plus (ii) the present value of the future valuation of
the Services Agreement over the remainder of the first five years of the
Services Agreement, plus (iii) the present value of the future valuation
of any third party contract that the Company can establish was lost due to
such termination without cause.  Although generally, CW Ventures on the
one hand and EHC and BCBSNJ on the other have equal rights to the
collateral securing the obligations pursuant to the CW Note and the EHC
Note, the parties have executed an inter-creditor agreement which
provides, among other items, that (i) CW Venture's security interest
asserted against any such collateral shall be subordinate to BCBSNJ's
rights under a certain section of the Services Agreement (which provides
BCBSNJ with certain rights upon termination of the Services Agreement by
BCBSNJ with or without cause), (ii) BCBSNJ's and EHC's security interests
in such collateral other than receivables and cash proceeds therefrom
shall be subordinate to CW Venture's rights to such collateral except to
the extent necessary to permit BCBSNJ to effect the terms of a certain
section of the Services Agreement, and (iii) EHC and BCBSNJ agree to take
no action to enforce their rights respecting such collateral unless either
the Services Agreement is terminated by BCBSNJ or CW Ventures has
attempted to enforce any of its rights respecting such collateral.

     Because the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit issuance of the required
number of shares upon exchange of the CW Note and the EHC Note, the
Company agreed to submit and, pursuant to action taken at the June 6, 1996
Board of Directors meeting of the Company, did approve for submission to
its stockholders the Charter Amendment.   The Charter Amendment was
approved by the Majority Stockholders on August 23, 1996.  Upon the
effectiveness of such Charter Amendment and upon compliance with certain
other conditions, the EHC Note will be automatically exchanged into
approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis.

<PAGE>

<PAGE>
    In the event that the Charter Amendment does not become effective
prior to September 30, 1996, CW Ventures will be entitled to be paid a
$500,000 fee by the Company.

     With respect to the CW Note, the holder has the right, at its option,
at any time and from time to time until the June 30, 1998 maturity date,
to exchange the CW Note in whole or in part, for additional shares of
Common Stock.  On the maturity date, assuming the Charter Amendment has
been duly adopted, the Services Agreement is in full force and effect and
certain other conditions are complied with, the remaining principal
balance of the CW Note will be automatically exchanged into shares of
Common Stock.  Exchange by CW Ventures of the entire principal amount of
the CW Note for shares of Common Stock, together with the 23,419,204
shares of Common Stock previously issued to CW Ventures as described
above, will result in CW Ventures owning approximately 35% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

     The percentage ownership interests of CW Ventures and of BCBSNJ
(through EHC) in the Company's Common Stock are subject to increase if the
Company fails to realize at least $15 million in net revenues for its
fiscal year ending October 31, 1996 or fails to realize at least $1
million in adjusted earnings before income tax ("EBIT") in such period
(with respect to the EHC Note) or at least $2 million in EBIT (with
respect to the CW Note).  Failure by the Company to realize at least $15
million in net revenues for such period will result in an increase in CW
Ventures' and BCBSNJ's equity interests in the Company to approximately
45% each (on a fully diluted basis).  Failure by the Company to realize at
least $1 million in EBIT for such period will result in an increase in
BCBSNJ's equity ownership in the Company on a fully diluted basis based
upon the difference between the actual EBIT and $1 million varying from 2%
(to 42%) to 5% (to 45%).  Similarly, failure by the Company to realize at
least $2 million in EBIT for such period will result in an increase in CW
Ventures' equity ownership in the Company on a fully diluted basis based
upon the difference between the actual EBIT and $2 million varying from 3%
(to 38%) to 10% (to 45%).  No increase in percentage ownership is required
in either case if the Company realizes at least $15 million in net
revenues and at least $1 million in EBIT for the period (with respect to
the EHC Note) and at least $2 million in EBIT for the period (with respect
to the CW Note).  Based upon the level of revenues and results of
operations to date and anticipated results for the balance of the current
fiscal year, management does not expect the aforementioned revenue and
income thresholds to be met.  As a result, it is likely that additional
shares of the Company's Common Stock will be issued to CW Ventures and
EHC, resulting in further dilution of ownership of other shareholders.

     In connection with the investment by CW Ventures and CAHS'
acquisition of CHCM, CW Ventures, EHC and the Company have entered into a
stockholders' agreement (the "Stockholders' Agreement") relating to the
future governance of the Company.  Pursuant to the Stockholders'
Agreement, CW Ventures and EHC have agreed to vote their shares of Common
Stock to maintain a seven-person Board of Directors to be comprised of the
following members: (i) two designees of CW Ventures, (ii) two designees of
EHC, (iii) two members of the Company's management acceptable to


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

CW Ventures and EHC, and (iv) one non- employee director acceptable to CW
Ventures and EHC.

     The Stockholders' Agreement also prohibits the Company from taking
certain actions without the consent of CW Ventures and its designees to
the Board of Directors and also provides CW Ventures and EHC with pro rata
rights of first refusal with respect to any proposed issuance by the
Company of its debt or equity securities (other than pursuant to a
registered public offering).  In addition, CW Ventures and EHC each have
a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed transfer of Common
Stock by the other party which exceeds 1% of the Company's then total
outstanding Common Stock, other than with respect to public sales and
distributions of shares of Common Stock by CW Ventures to its partners in
the ordinary course of business.  The Stockholders' Agreement also
provides CW Ventures with the right to purchase EHC's shares of Common
Stock in the event that the Services Agreement is terminated by BCBSNJ. 
The Company is also prohibited from taking certain actions without the
consent of EHC or EHC's designees to the Board of Directors.  The rights
granted by the Company to CW Ventures described above terminate on the
later to occur of (i) February 22, 1998 and (ii) the date the CW Note is
exchanged for Common Stock, provided that such rights will terminate
earlier if the Company realizes net income of at least $400,000 in any
consecutive full four (4) fiscal quarters.  In the event that CW Ventures'
approval rights terminate and it holds at least 5% of the outstanding
Common Stock, CW Ventures will possess the same approval rights granted to
EHC for as long as EHC possesses such rights.  The Stockholders' Agreement
itself terminates on the later to occur of (i) each of EHC and CW Ventures
having less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) the termination
of the Services Agreement and (iii) February 22, 1998.

     In connection with its investment, CW Ventures obtained proxies to
vote a total of 10,300,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain
limitations.  John Petillo, former Chairman of the Board of Directors and
Chief Executive Officer, granted CW Ventures a proxy dated February 22,
1996 with respect to 8,600,000 shares of Common Stock owned by him (the
"Petillo Proxy"), which terminated on June 30, 1996, and the Company
granted CW Ventures a proxy dated February 22, 1996 with respect to
1,700,000 shares of Common Stock over which the Board has voting power
(the "CAI Proxy"), which terminated upon the adoption of the Charter
Amendment in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement dated
April 20, 1995 between the Company and Primedex Health Systems, Inc. (a
copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (file No. 33-89176)).  Since the Petillo Proxy
expired on June 30, 1996, CW Ventures did not have the power to vote the
shares of Common Stock subject to the Petillo Proxy in connection with the
adoption of the Charter Amendment by the Majority Stockholders.

     Pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of February 22,
1996 among the Company, CW Ventures, and EHC, the Company is required to
file a "shelf" registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or prior to June 30, 1996, and to use its best efforts to
have such registration statement declared


<PAGE>

<PAGE>
effective as soon thereafter as possible, covering the shares of Common
Stock issued to CW Ventures and the shares issuable upon exchange of the
CW Notes and the EHC Note, so as to permit the public offering and
distribution of such shares.  There is no requirement that any of such
shares will be distributed pursuant to such registration statement.  The
Company has secured from each of CW Ventures and EHC a waiver to file such
registration statement until August 30, 1996 and the Company expects to
secure a further waiver until September 30, 1996.

     STOCK OPTIONS - During 1994 the Board of Directors adopted, subject
to stockholder approval, a stock incentive plan known as the "1995
Comprehensive Incentive Plan" and reserved an aggregate of 4,000,000
shares of Common Stock for direct issuance of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, and for other stock-based awards which may be
granted under the 1995 Comprehensive Incentive Plan.  In fiscal 1995,
558,800 qualified stock options were awarded, subject to stockholder
approval, to the Company's employees.  The 1995 Comprehensive Incentive
Plan and the grants made thereunder were never submitted to the Company's
stockholders for their approval.  All options granted thereunder have been
cancelled and replaced, where applicable, with options granted pursuant to
the 1996 Stock Option Plan of the Company, which has been adopted by the
Board of Directors and was affirmed and adopted by the execution of the
Written Consent.

     COMPENSATION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.  Through October 31,
1995,
the Company paid an annual directors' fee of $8,000 plus a fee of $1,000
per meeting to each Director who was not an employee of, or consultant to,
the Company.  The Directors waived such fees beginning in June 1995
through the balance of fiscal 1995.  The Company paid each of Messrs.
Lloyd and McQueeny a fee of $2,000 for the period from November 1, 1995
through December 31, 1995.

     On September 7, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance
of nonqualified stock options to each of Messrs. Lloyd, McQueeny and Leon
Smith, the three outside directors on such date, to purchase 75,000 shares
of the Common Stock at a price equal to $0.47 per share, the fair market
value of a share at the date of grant.  Such options became fully
exercisable upon the consummation of the Change of Control Transactions. 

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, CONSULTING AGREEMENTS,
TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS.  Effective October
31,
1995, Dr. Petillo waived his rights under his employment agreement and fee
agreement (providing for additional compensation to Dr. Petillo in the
event of an acquisition of the Company or any subsidiary or a portion of
their business or assets not in the ordinary course of business during his
employment).  Dr. Petillo agreed to continue to serve as President of the
Company without compensation effective November 1, 1995 through the
closing of the transactions with CW Ventures and BCBSNJ.  In consideration
thereof, the Board of Directors agreed to reduce the exercise price of his
nonqualified stock options to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock
granted on January 27, 1995 from $0.4714 to an exercise price of $0.28 per
share, and to make all such options immediately exercisable through June
30, 2000. 

     The Company and Dr. Petillo entered into a consulting agreement dated
as of February 22, 1996 for a term of one year.  The consulting agreement
provides that the Company shall pay a fee to Dr. Petillo for each services
contract that is entered into by the Company or any affiliate and a
customer introduced to the Company by Dr. Petillo that contemplates at
least $1,000,000 in revenues to the Company.  The amount of such fee will
be between $25,000 and $75,000 depending upon the size of the services
contract.  The consulting agreement may be terminated by Company at any
time without cause upon 30 days notice.

     The Company and Dr. Paul Shoffeitt agreed to the terms of an
employment contract effective December 23, 1994 through December 23, 1996. 
Dr. Shoffeitt agreed to serve as Director of Strategic Planning and
Professional Services.  The Company agreed to pay Dr. Shoffeitt an annual
salary of $425,000 plus annual increases based upon increases in the
consumer price index and include Dr. Shoffeitt in the Company's various
employee benefit programs.  On January 24, 1995 in connection with the
amendment of his employment contract and his release of PMDX from its
guarantee of the salary payable under his employment contract, Dr.
Shoffeitt was granted a fifteen year immediately exercisable option to
purchase an aggregate 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.50 per share.  Although his employment contract has not been
formally amended, Dr. Shoffeitt is presently working on a part- time basis
at reduced compensation.  Due to the resetting of the exercise price of
Dr. Petillo's options to $0.28 per share in late 1995, pursuant to the
terms of the amendment of Dr. Shoffeitt's employment agreement on January
24, 1995, the exercise price for Dr. Shoffeitt's options has been reset to
$0.28 per share.

     CAHS entered a three year employment agreement effective June 1,
1995, as amended effective June 6, 1996, with Robert Ailes, M.D.,
employing Dr. Ailes as President and Chief Executive Officer of CAHS at an
annual salary of $265,000 (with the new salary to be effective as of
November 1, 1995).  In addition, Dr. Ailes is entitled to receive up to
$100,000 as a special bonus upon the attainment of certain defined revenue
levels by the Company.  In the event that Dr. Ailes is reassigned to
another position within CAHS in lieu of termination, his salary may be
reduced to $210,000.  On the second anniversary of the effective date of
the agreement, and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of the
agreement shall be extended for one year unless CAHS shall have notified
Dr. Ailes that the term has not been so extended.  In the event that Dr.
Ailes is terminated without cause, CAHS is required to pay Dr. Ailes one
year of his base salary and to continue to provide him with health and
other benefits for a period of one year.  Dr. Ailes was also awarded
3,450,000 new options to purchase Common Stock (replacing options to
purchase 350,000 shares of Common Stock) which have an exercise price of
$0.25 per share (the market price on June 6, 1996).  Options to purchase
750,000 shares are immediately exercisable and the remaining options vest
over a three year period based on the achievement of certain defined
goals.

     CAHS entered into a three year employment agreement effective April
28, 1995 with David W. Bouda, M.D., employing Dr. Bouda as Senior Medical
Director at an annual salary of $240,000 with a one time signing bonus of
$125,000.  The agreement further required the Company to set aside and
establish an escrow fund in the amount of $235,000 as partial security for
payment of Dr. Bouda's salary for eighteen months less the $125,000
signing bonus.  Effective October 27, 1995 the employment agreement with
Dr. Bouda was amended deleting the provision to establish an escrow fund,
removing the $1,000 limit on reimbursement of licensing fees and
subscription charges and adding a provision that either party shall have
the right to terminate the agreement by giving sixty (60) days written
notice to the other party.  On the second anniversary of the effective
date of the agreement, and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of the
agreement shall be extended for one year unless CAHS shall have notified
Dr. Bouda that the term has not been so extended.  In consideration for
these amendments, on October 31, 1995, Dr. Bouda was awarded options to
purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per
share, which Dr. Bouda and the Company have agreed to cancel.  Dr. Bouda
was awarded options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock, which
vest over two years and have an exercise price of $.13 per share.

     CAHS entered into a three year employment agreement effective July 1,
1995 with Stephan D. Deutsch, M.D. as Senior Vice President and Chief
Medical Officer of CAHS at an annual salary of $250,000.  During the third
year of employment Dr. Deutsch's basic salary will be $300,000.  In
accordance with this agreement, Dr. Deutsch is entitled to receive no less
than 50% of his basic salary as a guaranteed minimum short term bonus
during his initial employment year and no less than 40% during his second
year of employment.  The short term bonus for the third year of employment
shall be established in accordance with the short term bonus percentages
awarded in that year based upon CAHS' profitability.  On the second
anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, and on each
anniversary thereafter, the term of the agreement shall be extended for
one year unless CAHS shall have notified Dr. Deutsch that the term has not
been so extended.  The agreement also provides Dr. Deutsch a $20,000
commutation expense allowance for his initial year of employment and a
lump sum payment of $50,000 in the event  Dr. Deutsch is required to
relocate outside of Maryland.  In the event Dr. Deutsch is terminated
without cause, CAHS is required to pay Dr. Deutsch his full salary for one
year (if terminated during the first employment year) or for six months
(if terminated during the second employment year).  Dr. Deutsch was also
awarded options to purchase a total of 100,000 shares, one-half of which
vest on the first and second anniversaries of the employment dates, at an
exercise price of $2.00 per share.  On July 24, 1996, Dr. Freeman was
awarded options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which vest
over two years and have an exercise price of $.13 per share.

     On August 7, 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with Richard Strobel to act as Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company for a term of four (4) years.  Mr.
Strobel shall receive annual compensation of $175,000 plus options to
purchase 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at the then
market value of the Company's Common Stock on July 24, 1996 when the
Company's Board of Directors granted such options to Mr. Strobel, which
market price was $.13 per share.

     On July 24, 1996, the Company extended an employment package to
Thomas Riley to act as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.  Pursuant to such package, Mr. Riley is compensated on a per diem
basis at a rate of $1,200 per day. 

     REPORT ON REPRICING OF OPTIONS/SARS - At a special meeting of the
Board of Directors on December 19, 1995, Dr. Petillo waived his rights
under his employment agreement and fee agreement effective October 31,
1995.  As consideration for the waiver and his continuing to serve as
President of the Company without compensation effective November 1, 1995
through the closing of the contemplated transactions with CW Ventures and
BCBSNJ, the Company canceled the 2,500,000 nonqualified stock options
granted January 27, 1995 at an exercise price of $0.4714 per share, and
reissued 2,500,000 nonqualified stock options to Dr. Petillo, exercisable
in whole or in part, at $0.28 per share with an expiration date of June
30, 2000.  The new exercise price represented the average of the bid and
asked prices of the Common Stock on the date the options were repriced. 
Dr. Schoffeitt is entitled to this repricing.


10.  COMPENSATION PLANS:

     Stock Plans

     On June 6, 1996 and July 24, 1996, the Board of Directors of the
Company adopted and amended (i) the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996
Plan") and (ii) the 1996 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"
and, together with the 1996 Plan, the "Stock Plans").  The Stock Plans
were approved and ratified by the Majority Stockholders pursuant to the
Written Consent.  The key features of the Stock Plans are summarized
below.  This summary is subject, in all respects, to the provisions of the
Stock Plans, which are attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     On June 6, 1996, the Board cancelled all options granted under the
Company's 1995 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan.  As of April 30, 1996,
options to purchase 558,800 shares of Common Stock had been granted under
the Company's 1995 Comprehensive Incentive Plan.  The Company believes
that the 1996 Plan offers flexibility to the Company in the granting of
options and that adoption of the 1996 Plan is necessary to aid the Company
in attracting, retaining and motivating officers and employees who are in
a position to contribute materially to the successful conduct of the
Company's business and affairs.  The 1996 Plan is intended to furnish
additional incentives whereby present and future officers and employees
may be encouraged to acquire, or to increase their holdings of, the
Company's Common Stock.

     A total of 11,600,000 options have been granted and are outstanding
under the Stock Plans.  The table below indicates grants of options that
have been granted, to the named persons and to the indicated groups of
persons.  Other awards under the Stock Plans are not yet determinable.<PAGE>

Description of the Stock Plans

       The 1996 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Plan, the Board will select
persons to be granted options and will determine:  (i) whether the
respective option is to be a non-statutory, non-qualified option or an
incentive option; (ii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
purchasable under such option; (iii) the time or times when the option
becomes exercisable, except that no incentive or non-statutory,
non-qualified option shall be exercised and sold by the recipient prior to
six (6) months from the date of grant; (iv) the exercise price cannot be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
grant (110% of such fair market value for incentive options granted to a
person who owns or who is considered to own stock possessing more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company;
and (v) the duration of the option, which cannot exceed ten (10) years. 
Incentive Options may only be granted to employees (including officers) of
the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.  Non-statutory, non-qualified
Options may be granted to any employees (including employees who have been
granted Incentive Options) and other persons who the Board of Directors
may select.  Under the 1996 Plan, an aggregate of 10% of the Company's
authorized number of shares of Common Stock (which, after the Charter
Amendment has become effective upon its filing with the Delaware Secretary
of State, shall be equal to 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock) has been
reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1996 Plan.

       The Director Plan is also administered by the Board of Directors of
the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the Director Plan, the Board may
select non- employee individual Directors to be granted options.  Each
such option grant shall be (i) in the amount to purchase 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock; (ii) at an exercise price which cannot be less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant; (iii)
immediately exercisable, and (iv) for a duration of five (5) years from
the date of grant.  Options under the Director Plan may be granted only to
Directors of the Company.  Under the Director Plan, an aggregate of 2% of
the Company's authorized number of shares of Common Stock (which, after
the Charter Amendment has become effective upon its filing with the
Delaware Secretary of State, shall be equal to 1,800,000 shares of Common
Stock) has been reserved for issuance pursuant to the Director Plan.  No
current member of the Board of Directors currently qualifies for the Director
Plan.

       All options granted under the 1996 Plan and the Director Plan are
exercisable during the option holder's lifetime only by the option holder
(or his or her legal representative) and only while such option holder is
in the Company's employ or is a Company director.  With respect to both
the 1996 Plan and the Director Plan, in the event of termination of
employment or of his or her directorship, such person shall have three (3)
months from such date to exercise such option to the extent the option was
exercisable as at the date of termination, but in no event subsequent to
the option's expiration date.  With respect to the 1996 Plan, in the event
of termination of employment due to death or disability of the option
holder, such person shall have twelve (12) months from such date to
exercise such option to the extent the option was exercisable as at the
date of termination, but in no event subsequent to the option's expiration
date.  With respect to the Director Plan, in the event of termination of
the option holder's directorship due to death, such person shall have
twelve (12) months from such date to exercise such option to the extent
the option was exercisable as at the date of termination, but in no event
subsequent to the options' expiration date.

       Both the 1996 Plan and the Director Plan contain customary
anti-dilution provisions which provide that, in the event of any change in
the Company's outstanding capital stock by reason of stock dividend,
recapitalization, stock split, combination, exchange of shares or merger
or consolidation, the Board shall adjust the aggregate number of shares of
the Common Stock reserved for issuance under both plans.  In addition, the
aggregate number of outstanding options and the exercise price per share
under both plans shall be proportionately adjusted by the Board whose
determination shall be conclusive.

       The Board of Directors has the authority to terminate both the 1996
Plan and the Director Plan as well as to make changes in and additions to
such plans.  However, with respect to the 1996 Plan, the Board may not,
unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, change the aggregate
number of shares subject to the 1996 Plan, terminate, modify or amend such
plan so as to adversely affect the rights of option holders previously
granted under such plan, change the requirements of eligibility to such
plan or materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under
such plan.  With respect to the Director Plan, the Board may not, unless
the option holder thereof consents, materially impair the rights of such
option holder under such plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

       A summary of the federal income tax consequences of the Stock Plans
is set forth below.  The discussion is not, and should not be relied on
as, a comprehensive analysis of the tax issues arising from or related to
the Stock Plans.  Also, the specific state tax consequences to each
participant under the Stock Plans may vary, depending upon the laws of the
various states and the individual circumstances of each participant.

       (a)     Non-Statutory, Non-Qualified Stock Options

       No taxable income is recognized by the option holder upon the grant
of a non-statutory, non-qualified stock option under either the 1996 Plan
or the Director Plan.  Generally, the option holder will recognize
ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised in the amount
by which the fair market value of the purchased shares on the date of
exercise exceeds the exercise price.  Such fair market value will
constitute the tax basis of the purchased shares for computing gain or
loss on any subsequent sale.  Any gain or loss recognized by the option
holder upon the subsequent disposition of the shares will be treated as
capital gain or loss and will qualify as long- term capital gain or loss
if the shares are held for more than twelve (12) months prior to
disposition.

       Generally, the Company will be entitled to a business expense
deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the option
holder at the date of exercise.  The income recognized by the option
holder will be treated as compensation income and will be subject to
income tax withholding by the Company.

       Long-term capital gain is currently taxed to individuals at the
maximum rate of 28%, while items of ordinary income are currently taxed to
individuals at the maximum rate of 39.6%.

       b.      Incentive Stock Options

       As in the case of non-statutory, non-qualified stock options, the
grant of incentive stock options will not result in any taxable income to
the grantee.  However, unlike non-statutory, non-qualified stock options,
no taxable income will be recognized by the option holder upon exercise of
an incentive stock option granted under the 1996 Plan and no expense
deduction will be available to the Company.

       Generally, if the option holder holds shares acquired upon the
exercise of incentive stock options for at least two (2) years from the
date of grant of the option and for at least one (1) year from the date of
exercise, any gain on a subsequent sale of such shares will be considered
as long-term capital gain.  The gain recognized upon the sale of the
shares is equal to the excess of the selling price of the shares over the
exercise price.  Therefore, the federal income tax effect on the holders
of incentive stock options is to defer, until the shares are sold,
taxation of any increase in the value of the shares from the date of grant
and to treat such gain, at the time of sale, as capital gain rather than
ordinary income.  However, in general, if the option holder sells the
shares prior to expiration of either the two-year or one-year period,
referred to as "disqualifying disposition," the option holder will
recognize taxable income at ordinary tax rates in an amount equal to the
lesser of: (i) the value of the shares on the date of exercise less the
exercise price; or (ii) the amount realized on the date of sale in excess
of the exercise price, and the Company will receive a corresponding
business expense deduction.  The balance of the gain recognized on the
disqualifying disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain
depending upon the holding period of the optioned shares.  The two-year
and one-year holding period rules do not apply to optioned shares which
are disposed of by the option holder's estate or a person who acquired
such shares by reason of the death of the option holder.

       Long-term capital gain is currently taxed to individuals at a
maximum rate of 28%, while items of ordinary income are currently taxed to
individuals at a maximum rate of 39.6%.

       An employee may be subject to alternative minimum tax upon exercise
of an incentive stock option since the excess of the fair market value of
the optioned stock at the date of exercise over the exercise price must be
included in alterative maximum taxable income unless the optioned stock
disposed of in a disqualifying disposition in the year the option was
exercised.

       Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, certain
compensation payments in excess of $1 million are subject to a limitation
on deductibility for the Company.  The limitation on deductibility applies
with respect to that portion of a compensation payment for a taxable year
in excess of $1 million to either the Company's Chief Executive Officer or
any one of the Company's other four most highly compensated executive
officers.  Certain performance-based compensation is not subject to the
limitation on deductibility.  Options can qualify for this
performance-based exception, but only if they are granted at fair market
value, the total number of shares that can be granted to an executive for
a specified period is stated, and shareholder and Board of Directors
approval is obtained.  The Stock Plans have not been drafted to comply
with those performance-based criteria, and, accordingly, the compensation
attributable to such options will be subject to the deductibility
limitations contained in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.


12.    MODIFICATION OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES:

       The Reverse Split which will affect the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company.  Additionally, the creation of the "blank
check" Preferred Stock may affect such Common Stock.

for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1995.




19.    AMENDMENT OF CHARTER, BY-LAWS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS: 

GENERAL

                The Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) effect a reverse split (the
"Reverse Split") of one new share of Common Stock (a "New Share") for six
shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock, (ii) reduce
the Company's authorized number of shares of Common Stock to 90,000,000
shares and (iii) create a new class of "blank check" preferred stock (the
"Preferred Stock") consisting of 10,000,000 shares, on June 6, 1996 voted
to file an appropriate Certificate of Amendment to the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter Amendment") to effect the
Reverse Stock Split and the creation of the Preferred Stock (collectively,
the "Charter Amendment Transactions").  The Charter Amendment,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Information Statement, was
approved by the Majority Stockholders by the Written Consent, dated August
23, 1996.

BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE CHARTER AMENDMENT
TRANSACTIONS

       Reverse Stock Split 

       In connection with the Change of Control Transactions, the Company
desired to use shares of its Common Stock for the purpose of raising
capital from CW Ventures and as consideration for the consummation of the
CHCM Acquisition.  However, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company required to raise the necessary funds from CW Ventures and to
consummate the CHCM Acquisition exceeded the total number of authorized
shares of Common Stock of the Company available for issuance.  Thus, the
Company caused CAHS, its wholly owned subsidiary, to issue to CW Ventures
and EHC notes exchangeable for shares of Common Stock of the Company. 
Upon the filing of the Charter Amendment, the EHC Exchangeable Notes will
be automatically exchanged for shares of Common Stock of the Company
(subject to certain conditions), and the holder of the CW Exchangeable
Notes will have the option to exchange such notes into shares of Common
Stock of the Company until June 30, 1998, at which time the CW
Exchangeable Note will be automatically exchanged for Common Stock of the
Company.  Each of the CW Purchase Agreement and the EHC Acquisition
Agreement require the Company to call a special meeting of its
stockholders for the purpose of, inter alia, seeking approval of a reverse
split of the Common Stock.  The reverse split was one of several options
considered by the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock of the Company available for issuance.  In lieu of such
meeting, the Written Consent was executed.

       On June 6, 1996, following prior discussions among the Board of
Directors of the Company, the Board adopted resolutions approving the
Charter Amendment, and directing that the Charter Amendment be submitted
to the Stockholders for approval via written consent.  The primary
objectives of the Board in effecting the Reverse Stock Split are to permit
the exchangeable notes issued by CAHS to CW Ventures and EHC to be
exchanged for shares of Common Stock in accordance with their respective
terms and to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Board
of Directors may issue without further stockholder approval.  Under the
terms of the Letter of Intent, as amended, in the event that the Charter
Amendment does not become effective prior to September 30, 1996, CW Ventures
will be entitled to receive a $500,000 fee from the Company.

       After giving effect to the proposed one-for-six reverse stock
split, the Company will have approximately 35,277,907 shares of Common
Stock outstanding after giving effect to the automatic issuance of
13,375,083 post-split shares of Common Stock in exchange for the EHC
Exchangeable Notes (subject to certain conditions), issuance of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to outstanding options, warrants and the CW
Exchangeable Notes and 54,722,093 post-split shares of Common Stock
available for issuance without further stockholders approval.

               Creation of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock                 

        The Board of Directors also adopted a resolution unanimously
approving and recommending to the Stockholders for their approval by
written consent, an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to
provide therein for the creation of 10,000,000 shares of "Blank Check"
Preferred Stock.  The text of the amendment is included in Exhibit A
attached hereto.

       The Charter Amendment provides for the creation of the Preferred
Stock, which the Board of Directors believes is in the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders and believes it advisable to authorize
such shares to have them available for, among other things, possible
issuance in connection with such activities as public or private offerings
of shares for cash, dividends payable in stock of the Company,
acquisitions of other companies or businesses, and otherwise.

       The term "Blank Check" Preferred Stock refers to stock for which
the designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative,
participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights,
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof (collectively, the
"Limitations and Restrictions") are determined by the board of directors
of a company.  As such, the Board of Directors of the Company will be
entitled to authorize the creation and issuance of 10,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series with such Limitations and
Restrictions as may be determined in the Board's sole discretion, with no
further authorization by stockholders required for the creation and
issuance thereof.

       The Board of Directors is required to make any determination to
issue shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock based on its judgment as
to the best interests of the stockholders and the Company.  Although the
Board of Directors has no present intention of doing so, it could issue
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that may, depending on the terms
of such series, make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest
or other means.  When, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, this
action will be in the best interest of the stockholders and the Company,
such shares could be used to create voting or other impediments or to
discourage persons seeking to gain control of the Company.  Such shares
could be privately placed with purchasers favorable to the Board of
Directors in opposing such action.  In addition, the Board of Directors
could authorize holders of a series of Common or Preferred Stock to vote
either separately as a class or with the holders of the Company's Common
Stock, on any merger, sale or exchange of assets by the Company or any
other extraordinary corporate transaction.  The existence of the
additional authorized shares could have the effect of discouraging
unsolicited takeover attempts.  The issuance of new shares also could be
used to dilute the stock ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain
control of the Company should the Board of Directors consider the action
of such entity or person not to be in the best interest of the
stockholders and the Company.

       While the Company may consider effecting an equity offering of
Common or Preferred Stock in the proximate future for purposes of raising
additional working capital or otherwise, the Company, as of the date
hereof, has no agreements or understandings with any third party to effect
any such offering, to purchase any shares offered in connection therewith,
and no assurances are given that any offering will in
fact be effected.  


EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

       Effect on Common Stock.  The Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company authorizes the Company to issue 100,000,000 shares of
capital stock, all of which is designated Common Stock.  The effect of the
Charter Amendment is to (i) decrease the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock of the Company from 100,000,000 to 90,000,000, (ii) to create
a new class of "blank check" Preferred Stock, the authorized number of
shares of which shall be 10,000,000, and (iii) decrease the number of
issued and outstanding shares from 65,149,464 shares of Common Stock to
approximately 10,858,244 shares based on share information as of August
23, 1996.

       The following table illustrates the principal effects of the
Reverse Stock Split on the Common Stock based on Common Stock authorized,
issued and outstanding as of August 23, 1996.

       Effect on Market for Common Stock.  On August 9, 1996, the closing
bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was
$0.145 per share.  By decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding without altering the aggregate economic interest in the
Company represented by such shares, the Board of Directors believes that
the trading price will be increased to a price that may be appealing to
more potential investors.

       Effect on Legal Ability to Pay Dividends.  The holders of shares of
the Common Stock are entitled to receive distributions of cash or other
property, if any, that may be declared from time to time by the Company's
Board of Directors in its discretion from funds legally available
therefor, subject to the dividend priority of the holders of preferred
stock of the Company, if any.  The Reverse Stock Split will not affect
potential distributions to the Company's stockholders.  The Company,
however, has never paid cash dividends on the Common Stock and has no
plans to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  The current policy
of the Company's Board of Directors is to retain all available earnings
for use in the operation and expansion of the Company's business.  Any
future dividends will depend upon the Company's earnings, capital
requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors.  Pursuant to
the CW Exchangeable Notes and the EHC Exchangeable Notes, the Company is
prohibited from paying dividends on its capital stock without the consent
of CW Ventures and EHC, respectively.


FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

       A summary of the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse
Stock Split as contemplated in the Charter Amendment is set forth below. 
The discussion is based on the present federal income tax law.  The
discussion is not, and should not be relied on as, a comprehensive
analysis of the tax issues arising from or relating to the proposed
Charter Amendment.  ACCORDINGLY, STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO
CONSULT THEIR
TAX ADVISORS FOR AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF THE CHARTER
AMENDMENT ON
THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX SITUATIONS.

       The transactions contemplated by the Charter Amendment constitute
a "recapitalization" to the Company and its stockholders to the extent
that issued shares of Common Stock are exchanged for a reduced number of
shares of Common Stock.  Therefore, neither the Company nor its
stockholders will recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result thereof.  However, if a stockholder receives cash in
lieu of any fractional New Share of Common Stock, such stockholder will be
treated as having received the cash in redemption of its fractional share
interest.  Depending on the stockholder's retained stock interest (taking
into account constructive ownership under applicable attribution rules),
such redemption will be treated as either (i) a dividend to the extent of
the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits with any excess
first applied against the stockholder's adjusted tax basis allocable to
the fractional share interest ("Basis") and the remainder treated as gain
from the sale or exchange of the fractional shares or (ii) gain or loss
from the sale or exchange of the fractional shares in an amount equal to
the difference, if any, between the cash received and the stockholder's
Basis.

       The shares of Common Stock to be issued to each stockholder will
have an aggregate basis, for computing gain or loss, equal to the
aggregate basis of the shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder
immediately prior to the Effective Date, less any basis allocable to the
fractional shares redeemed, if any, to the extent such redemption is
treated as a sale or exchange as described in the preceding paragraph.  A
stockholder's holding period for the shares of Common Stock to be issued
will include the holding period for the shares of Common Stock held
thereby immediately prior to the Effective Date provided that such shares
of Common Stock were held by the stockholder as capital assets on the
Effective Date. 

EXCHANGE OF SHARES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

       No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection
with the proposed Reverse Stock Split.  A stockholder who would otherwise
be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock will receive, in
lieu thereof, one share of Common Stock.  Management believes that the
issuance of a full share will be fair to all of the stockholders whose
fractional interests are retired, the other stockholders of the Company
and the Company.  As of August 4, 1996, the Company had approximately
15,000 stockholders.  

       The Company will appoint American Stock Transfer & Trust Company
(the "Exchange Agent") as Exchange Agent to act for the holders of the
Common Stock in connection with the Charter Amendment.

       On or after the Effective Date, the Company will mail to each
stockholder a letter of transmittal.  A stockholder will be able to
receive his New Shares only by transmittal to the Exchange Agent of such
stockholder's stock certificate(s) for shares of Common Stock that were
issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split, together with the properly
executed and completed letter of transmittal and such evidence of
ownership of such shares as the Company may require.  Stockholders will
not receive certificates for New Shares unless and until the certificates
representing their shares of Common Stock that were issued prior to the
Reverse Stock Split are surrendered.  Stockholders should not forward
their certificates to the Exchange Agent until the letter of transmittal
is received and should surrender their certificates only with such letter
of transmittal.

       There will be no service charges payable by the stockholders of the
Company in connection with the exchange of their certificates.  These
costs will be borne by the Company.


       MISCELLANEOUS

       Pursuant to Section 242(c) of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the Board of Directors reserves the right,
notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the
stockholders, not to proceed with the Reverse Split, if, at any time prior
to filing the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines
that the Reverse Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.  The Board of Directors may consider a variety of
factors in determining whether or not to proceed with the Reverse Stock
Split including, but not limited to, overall trends in the stock market,
recent changes and anticipated trends in the per share market price of the
Common Stock, business developments and the Company's actual and projected
financial performance.

                                       Exhibit A

                      "FOURTH:       (A)    Authorized Capital Stock. The total
               number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation
               shall have authority to issue is One Hundred Million
               (100,000,000) shares, consisting of Ninety Million (90,000,000)
               shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common
               Stock") and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock,
               $.10 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock").

                      (B)    Preferred Stock. Shares of the Preferred Stock may
               be issued from time to time in one or more series as may from
               time to time be determined by the Board of Directors.  Each
               series shall be distinctly designated.  All shares of any one
               series of the Preferred Stock shall be alike in every particular
               event except that there may be different dates from which
               dividends thereon, if any, shall be cumulative, if made
               cumulative.  The powers, preferences and relative participating,
               optional and other rights of each series, and the
               qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may
               differ from those of any and all other series at any time
               outstanding.  Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (4) of
               Paragraph (D) of this Article FOURTH, the Board of Directors of
               the Corporation is hereby expressly granted authority to fix by
               resolution or resolutions adopted prior to the issuance of any
               shares of each particular series of Preferred Stock, the
               designation, powers, preferences and relative participating,
               optional and other rights, if any, and the qualifications,
               limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, of such series,
               including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights,
               redemption and sinking fund rights, and rights upon liquidation,
               merger or winding up of the business of the Corporation.  No
               right, power or preference of any series of the Preferred Stock
               shall be implied; any such right must be expressly set forth in
               the resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted with respect
               to said shares.

                      (C)    Common Stock.

                      (1)    After the requirements with respect to preferential
               dividends on Preferred Stock (fixed in accordance with the
               provisions of Paragraph (B) of this Article FOURTH), if any,
               shall have been met and after the Corporation shall have
               complied with all the requirements, if any, with respect to the
               setting aside of sums as sinking funds or redemption or purchase
               accounts (fixed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph
               (B) of this Article FOURTH) and subject further to any other
               conditions which may be fixed in accordance with the provisions
               of Paragraph (B) of this Article FOURTH, then but not otherwise,
               the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such
               dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the
               Board of Directors.

                      (2)    After distribution in full of the preferential
               amount (fixed  in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph (B)
               of this Article FOURTH), if any, to be distributed to the holders
               of Preferred Stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary
               liquidation, distribution or sale of assets, dissolution or
               winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock

               Corporation, tangible or intangible, of whatever kind available
               for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the
               number of shares of the Common Stock held by each.

                      (3)    Except as otherwise may be required by law, this
               Certificate of Incorporation or the provisions of the resolution
               or resolutions as may be adopted by the Board of Directors
               pursuant to Paragraph (B) of this Article FOURTH, each holder of
               Common Stock shall have one (1) vote in respect of each share of
               Common Stock held by such holder on each matter voted upon by
               the stockholders.

               (D)    Other Provisions.

                      (1)    The relative powers, preferences and rights of each
               series of Preferred Stock in relation to the powers, preferences
               and rights of each other series of Preferred Stock shall, in
               each case, be as fixed from time to time by the Board of
               Directors in the resolution or resolutions adopted pursuant to
               authority granted in Paragraph (B) of this Article FOURTH, and
               the consent, by class or series vote or otherwise, of the
               holders of the Preferred Stock of such series of the Preferred
               Stock as are from time to time outstanding shall not be required
               for the issuance by the Board of Directors of any other series
               of Preferred Stock whether the powers, preferences and rights of
               such other series shall be fixed by the Board of Directors as
               senior to, or on a parity with, the powers, preferences and
               rights of such outstanding series, or any of them, provided,
               however, that the Board of Directors may provide in such
               resolution or resolutions adopted with respect to any series of
               Preferred Stock that the consent of the holders of a majority
               (or such greater portion as shall be therein fixed) of the
               outstanding shares of such series voting thereon shall be
               required for the issuance of any or all other shares of
               Preferred Stock.

                      (2)    Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (1) of 
               this paragraph, shares of any series of Preferred Stock may be
               issued from time to time as the Board of Directors shall
               determine and on such terms and for such consideration as shall
               be fixed by the Board of Directors.

                      (3)    Shares of Common Stock may be issued from time to
               time as the Board of Directors shall determine and on such terms
               and for such consideration as shall be fixed by the Board of
               Directors.

                      (4)    No holder of any of the shares of any class or 
               series of stock or of options, warrants or other rights to
               purchase shares of any class or series of stock or of other
               securities of the Corporation shall have any preemptive rights to
               purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of any class or
               series or any additional shares of any class or series to be
               issued by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock
               of the Corporation of any class or series, or bonds, certificates
               of indebtedness, debentures or other securities convertible into
               or exchangeable for stock of the Corporation of any class or
               series, or carrying any right to purchase stock of any class or
               series."
