                  (e) Mr. Savitsky has not been a party to a civil proceeding of
a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction during the last five
years that resulted in Mr. Savitsky being subject to a judgment, decree or final

subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                  On October 20, 1999, Staff Builders, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, ("Staff Builders"), consummated a spin-off of its home health care
business through a distribution of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
owned by Staff Builders (the "Spin-Off"). In the Spin-Off, Staff Builders
distributed to each of its shareholders one share of Common Stock of the Issuer

to the extent described herein was acquired by Mr. Savitsky pursuant to the
Spin-Off. No consideration was paid for the acquisition of the shares of Common
Stock.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

                  Mr. Savitsky acquired the shares of Common Stock in the
Spin-Off described in Item 3 above. Mr. Savitsky, in his capacity as a
shareholder of the Issuer, does not have any plans or proposals which are
related to or would result in:

                  (a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of

dividend policy of the Issuer;

                  (f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or

as to matters relating to the Issuer and its business which may include any of

recommend such actions as he may deem desirable, including possibly any of such
corporate actions.

Savitsky reserves the right to take or recommend such actions as he may consider
desirable, including possibly any of the corporate actions set forth above.

securities and reserves the right to acquire or dispose of the Issuer's
