                                PROXY STATEMENT
                                      FOR
                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

                            ------------------------
 
    This  Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of Common Stock, par value
$.025 per  share ("Common  Stock"),  of Community  Care  of America,  Inc.  (the
"Company")  in  connection with  the  solicitation of  proxies  by the  Board of
Directors of the Company ("Proxy" or "Proxies") for use at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held on Friday, May 31, 1996, at 10:30  A.M.,
Eastern  Daylight Savings Time, at La Playa Beach Resort, 9891 Gulf Shore Drive,
Naples, Florida,  and  at  any  adjournment or  postponement  thereof,  for  the
purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The approximate
mailing date of this Proxy Statement is May 10, 1996.
 
    The  close of  business on  April 19, 1996  has been  fixed by  the Board of
Directors as  the record  date  (the "Record  Date")  for the  determination  of
stockholders  entitled  to  notice of,  and  to  vote at,  the  Meeting  and any
adjournment thereof.  As of  the Record  Date, there  were 7,009,296  shares  of
Common  Stock outstanding. Each share of  Common Stock outstanding on the Record
Date will be entitled to one vote on  all matters to come before the Meeting.  A
majority  of the  shares entitled  to vote,  present in  person or  by proxy, is
required to  constitute  a  quorum  for the  transaction  of  business.  Proxies
submitted which contain abstentions or broker nonvotes will be deemed present at
the Meeting in determining the presence of a quorum.
 
    Directors  are  elected by  a plurality  of  the votes  cast at  the Meeting
(Proposal 1).  The affirmative  vote of  a majority  of the  shares present,  in
person  or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting will be required to (a)
amend the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan  to increase the number of shares  of
Common  Stock  subject  thereto  (Proposal  2),  (b)  amend  the  Company's 1995
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan to (i) increase the number of shares  of
Common  Stock subject  thereto and to  amend the provision  which determines the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to options to be granted initially  and
annually  to non-employee directors (Proposal 3), and (c) ratify the appointment
of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the Company's independent public accountants for the
Company's fiscal year  ending December  31, 1996 (Proposal  4). Abstentions  are
considered  as shares entitled to vote  and, therefore, are effectively negative
votes on each  of Proposals  2, 3  and 4. Broker  nonvotes with  respect to  any
matter  are not considered as shares entitled  to vote and, therefore, will have
no effect on  the outcome of  the vote  on Proposals 2,  3 and 4.  The Board  of
Directors  has unanimously recommended a vote in  favor of each nominee named in
the Proxy and FOR Proposals 2, 3 and 4.
 
    Unless otherwise  specified, all  Proxies  received will  be voted  for  the
election of all nominees named herein to serve as directors and in favor of each
other proposal. A Proxy may be revoked at any time before its exercise by filing
with the Secretary of the Company an instrument of revocation or a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date, or by attendance at the Meeting and electing to vote
in  person.  Attendance at  the Meeting  will  not in  and of  itself constitute
revocation of a Proxy.

    Stockholders  of the Company who,  at April 15, 1996,  owned an aggregate of
876,753 shares of Common Stock (including 287,602 shares owned by a  partnership
in which a limited partnership controlled by Dr. Elkins is a general partner and
is  afforded sole voting power)  are parties to a  Voting Agreement (the "Voting
Agreement") with Dr. Elkins, in which such stockholders have agreed that, during
the ten-year  term of  the Voting  Agreement (which  was effective  January  26,
1996),  at  all  meetings  of  stockholders  and  in  all  written  consents  of
stockholders, they will vote all Common Stock  owned by them in the same  manner
as  Common Stock owned by Dr. Elkins (846,235 shares) is voted by him. Each such
stockholder has also irrevocably appointed Dr. Elkins as proxy to represent  and
vote  all  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  such  stockholder  at  any  meeting of
stockholders of  the Company  and in  all actions  taken by  written consent  of
stockholders.  Common Stock owned by such  stockholders will cease to be subject
to the Voting  Agreement following any  sale thereof in  an underwritten  public
offering  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in a sale under
Rule 144 promulgated under such Act. In addition, ELI-I and ELI-II have  entered
into   a  Stockholders'  Agreement   with  Dr.  Elkins   and  the  Company  (the
"Stockholders' Agreement"), pursuant to which ELI-I
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
and ELI-II are collectively entitled to designate two nominees to the  Company's
Board  of  Directors.  Dr.  Elkins has  agreed,  pursuant  to  the Stockholders'
Agreement, to vote all shares over which he has voting control for the  election
of  such nominees. ELI-I and ELI-II have  designated Damon H. Ball and Daniel G.
Pine as their director nominees pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement. If  the
collective  ownership of ELI-I and ELI-II  falls below 665,907 shares, they will
be entitled to one board nominee so long as they own any shares of Common Stock.
 
                                   PROPOSAL 1
                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
    The Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation provides  that  the  Board  of
Directors shall be divided into three classes, with such classes to be as nearly
equal  in number as the  then total number of  directors constituting the entire
Board permits.  The  Company's Board  of  Directors presently  consists  of  six
members  with two  members in each  class. Each class  is elected for  a term of
three years. The term of office of the current Class I, II and III directors  is
scheduled  to expire at the 1996, 1997 and 1998 annual meetings of stockholders,
respectively. At each annual meeting, directors are elected to succeed those  in
the  class  whose  term  expires  at that  annual  meeting,  such  newly elected
directors to  hold office  until the  third succeeding  annual meeting  and  the
election and qualification of their respective successors.
 
    At the Meeting, stockholders will elect two Class I directors to serve until
the  1999 annual meeting  of stockholders and  until their respective successors
are elected and qualified. Unless otherwise  directed, the persons named in  the
Proxy  intend to cast all Proxies received for the election of Gary W. Singleton
and Michael S. Blass (the "nominees") to  serve as Class I directors upon  their
nomination  at the Meeting. Dr. Singleton was elected as a director by the Board
on April 19, 1996. Mr.  Blass and each other  incumbent director was elected  by
stockholders  prior to  the time the  Company became a  publicly-held Company in
August 1995. Each of the nominees has advised the Company of his willingness  to
serve  as  a  director  of  the  Company.  In  case  any  nominee  should become
unavailable for election to the Board  of Directors for any reason, the  persons
named in the Proxies have discretionary authority to vote the Proxies for one or
more alternative nominees who will be designated by the Board of Directors.
 
    The  following is a description of the  nominees and of each other member of
the Board of Directors:

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
    Directors  of the Company receive no cash compensation for services rendered
as directors. The Company's  1995 Non-Employee Director  Stock Option Plan  (the
"Non-Employee  Director Plan")  provides for the  automatic grant  of options to
purchase shares of Common  Stock to the following  persons: (i) each person  who
was  a non-employee director  on April 1,  1995, (ii) each  person who becomes a
non-employee director subsequent to  April 1, 1995  and (iii) each  non-employee
director  in office immediately following the  conclusion of each annual meeting
of stockholders at which  directors are elected.  On May 7,  1996, the Board  of
Directors  amended  the  Non-Employee  Directors  Plan,  subject  to stockholder
approval of the amendment (see "Proposal 3. Proposed Amendments to the Company's
1995 Non-Employee Director Stock  Option Plan") to,  among other things,  change
the  number of shares  of Common Stock  subject to initial  and annual automatic
grants to Non-Employee Directors from the number of shares obtained by  dividing
$30,000  by the fair  market value of  a share of  Common Stock on  the date the
option is granted  to 10,000  shares in  the case  of initial  grants and  5,000
shares  in the  case of annual  grants. Options  granted under this  plan have a
ten-year term and are exercisable in three equal semi-annual installments, on  a
cumulative  basis, commencing six months following the date of grant, subject to
early termination in certain instances, at  an exercise price equal to the  fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

    The Company's Employment Agreement with Dr. Singleton provides for a term of

an initial  bonus  of $70,000  and  $6,110 to  reimburse  him for  vacation  pay
forfeited by reason of leaving his prior employment, and may also receive annual
bonuses  at the  discretion of the  Board of  Directors (not to  exceed his base
salary for any calendar year) and an  additional amount, up to $300,000, in  the
event  of a merger,  consolidation or sale  of substantially all  of the capital
stock of the Company. The Company has  also granted an option to Dr.  Singleton,
subject  to approval of such amendment  by the Company's stockholders increasing
the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company's 1995 Stock  Option

Agreement  provides that  the Company  may terminate  his employment  for, among
other reasons, cause  (as defined)  or without cause  by continuing  to pay  Dr.
Singleton  his then current base salary for a period of 18 months and 24 months,
respectively, provided that during such period Dr. Singleton will continue to be
bound by the non-competition restrictions contained in his Employment Agreement.
If terminated without cause, all stock options held by Dr. Singleton will become
fully vested.
 
    The Company's Employment Agreement with Ms. Lau provides for a term of three

Company's Chief Executive Officer.  In addition, upon  joining the Company,  Ms.
Lau  received a  bonus of  $30,000 and  may also  receive annual  bonuses at the
discretion of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (subject to a maximum amount
equal to 35%  of base salary  per annum and  a minimum of  $56,250 for the  year
ending  December 31, 1996). At the time  Ms. Lau joined the Company, the Company

term of ten years, with options  covering 40,000 shares vesting in three  annual
installments  commencing on the first  anniversary of the date  of grant and the

provided that if the Company achieves its earnings per share projections for the
year  ending December  31, 1996, as  set forth  in its 1996  business plan, such
options will vest  over a three-year  period beginning on  January 1, 1997.  Ms.
Lau's   Employment  Agreement  provides  that  the  Company  may  terminate  her
employment for, among other reasons, cause (as defined) by continuing to pay Ms.
Lau her then current base salary for a period of 18 months provided that if,  at
the  time, less than 18 months remains  on the term of her Employment Agreement,
such base salary  shall continue for  the longer  of the remaining  term of  her
Employment Agreement or 12 months.
 
    The Company's Employment Agreement with Mr. Krystopowicz provides for a term
extending  through December 31, 1998, with automatic one-year extensions on each
January 1 (so that the term is then three years) unless either party elects  not
to  so  extend  by  giving  written  notice at  least  120  days  prior  to such
anniversary date. The  current base salary  under Mr. Krystopowicz's  Employment
Agreement is $180,000, subject to increase annually by a percentage equal to the
percentage  increase in the Consumer Price  Index and such additional amounts as
may be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition,  Mr.
Krystopowicz  may also receive annual bonuses at the discretion of the Company's
Board of Directors.  In connection  with his joining  the Company,  on July  10,
1993, the Company granted Mr. Krystopowicz options to purchase 36,362 and 16,565
shares  of Common Stock  under the Company's  1993 Stock Option  Plan (the "1993

Option Plan"), respectively, at exercise prices  of $3.71 per share, for a  term
of  ten years, with  the options granted  under the 1993  Option Plan vesting in
three annual installments commencing  on July 10, 1994  and the options  granted
under the Senior Executive Option Plan vesting on the seventh anniversary of the
date  of grant so long as Mr. Krystopowicz is employed by the Company as of such
date, subject  to possible  acceleration of  vesting in  certain instances.  Mr.
Krystopowicz's  Employment Agreement provides that the Company may terminate his
employment for, among other things, cause (as defined) by continuing to pay  Mr.
Krystopowicz  his then  current base  salary for a  period of  18 months. Either
party shall have the right, at any time upon 180 days' notice, to terminate  the
Employment  Agreement  without  cause. In  the  event of  such  termination, the
Company is to continue to pay Mr. Krystopowicz his then current base salary  for
the  remaining scheduled term  of his Employment Agreement.  In addition, in the
event that either  party voluntarily  terminates the  Employment Agreement,  the
Company may elect to continue the non-competition restrictions contained therein
for a period of up to 18 months by paying to Mr. Krystopowicz an amount equal to
100%  of  his  then  current  base salary  for  each  month  the non-competition
restrictions are to be in effect.
 
    The Company's  Employment  Agreement with  David  H. Fater  provides  for  a
two-year term commencing as of June 26, 1995, subject to earlier termination for
cause (as defined). Mr. Fater's Employment Agreement provides for an annual base
salary  of $180,000, subject to increase after the first year of employment by a
percentage equal to the percentage increase  in the Consumer Price Index  during
the  first  year of  his  employment and  by such  additional  amount as  may be
determined at the discretion  of the Company's Chief  Executive Officer. At  the
time  Mr. Fater joined  the Company, Mr.  Fater was granted  an option under the
1995 Option Plan to purchase 25,316 shares of Common Stock at an exercise  price
of  $10.11 per share for a  term of ten years. This  option vests on each of the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

    In the event  of a  "change of  control" of  the Company  (as defined),  Dr.
Singleton,  Ms. Lau  and Mr.  Krystopowicz each have  the right,  upon giving 30
days' notice  to  the Company  within  180 days  following  such event  (or,  if
terminated  by the Company during such 180  day period), to terminate his or her
employment in which event the executive shall be entitled to receive his or  her
then  base  salary  for  a  period  of 36  months  following  the  date  of such
termination (subject  to the  limits imposed  by Section  280G of  the  Internal
Revenue  Code  of 1986,  as  amended) and  all stock  options  then held  by the
executive shall become  fully vested. A  "change of control"  of the Company  is
deemed  to occur under the Employment Agreements, in general: (i) when a person,
other  than  Robert  N.  Elkins  or  an  institutional  investor,  becomes   the
"beneficial  owner" of 20%  or more of  the Company's Common  Stock, (ii) in the
event of  certain mergers  or consolidations  in which  the Company  is not  the
surviving  entity,  (iii)  in  the  event of  the  sale,  lease  or  transfer of
substantially all of the Company's assets, (iv) stockholders approve a plan  for
the  liquidation  of the  Company or  (v) if  Robert  N. Elkins  ceases to  be a
director of the Company.
 
    Whenever the  executive is  entitled  to receive  a continuation  of  salary
following termination or nonrenewal of employment, he or she is also entitled to
receive  a continuation of the executive's automobile allowance and any hospital
or major medical insurance during the period of salary continuation.
 
    Each executive is  also entitled  to participate in  the Company's  employee
benefit  plans.  In  addition,  as consideration  for  joining  the  Company and
relocating to  the Company's  offices  in Florida,  the  Company has  agreed  to
provide  reimbursement for relocation expenses up to agreed upon amounts and, in
certain instances,  temporary  housing allowances  and  indemnification  against
losses  arising out of the sale of  the executive's prior residence. Each of the
Employment Agreements contains covenants by the employee to, among other things,
maintain the  confidentiality  of trade  secrets  of  the Company,  as  well  as
covenants  not  to solicit  employees or  customers of  the Company  and, during
specified periods, not to be employed  or have certain other relationships  with
entities  which are  directly in the  business of owning,  operating or managing
businesses which compete with certain aspects of the Company's business.
 
TERMINATION AGREEMENTS
 
    Effective April 19, 1996, Mr. Kenneth  W. Creasman, who was then serving  as
President,  Chief Executive Officer and a  director of the Company, resigned. By
letter agreement dated  April 23,  1996 between  the Company  and Mr.  Creasman,
except   for  the  provisions  concerning   confidentiality  of  trade  secrets,
non-solicitation of employees and customers and non-competition, Mr.  Creasman's
Employment Agreement, which extended through January 1, 1999 and under which Mr.
Creasman's annual salary was then $289,626, was terminated. In lieu thereof, Mr.
Creasman  agreed to serve as a consultant  to the Company by telephone regarding
proposed and recently completed acquisitions by  the Company for a period of  18
months  at  a monthly  consulting fee  of  $24,136. The  Company also  agreed to
continue Mr. Creasman's employee health benefit package at the Company's expense
for a period of 18 months or  until he secures other employment with  comparable
benefits,  whichever  is  earlier.  The  letter  agreement  also  provides that,
notwithstanding the provisions  of his  option agreements,  options to  purchase
28,147  shares would become vested and  would, together with options to purchase
30,183 shares which  had already vested,  remain exercisable for  180 days.  The
remaining  options held  by Mr.  Creasman (to  purchase 28,157  shares of Common
Stock)  were   terminated.  See   also   "Certain  Relationships   and   Related
Transactions," below.
 
    Effective September 15, 1995, Mr. William T. Filippone, who was then serving
as  Executive  Vice  President  and  Chief  Operating  Officer  of  the Company,
resigned. By letter agreement dated September  26, 1995 between the Company  and
Mr.  Filippone, except  for the  provisions concerning  confidentiality of trade
secrets, non-solicitation of  employees and customers  and non-competition,  Mr.
Filippone's  Employment Agreement,  which extended  through January  1, 1998 and
under which Mr. Filippone's annual salary was then $183,756, was terminated.  In
lieu  thereof, Mr. Filippone agreed  to serve as a  consultant to the Company by
telephone regarding its proposed and recently
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
completed acquisitions for a period of 15 months at a monthly consulting fee  of
$15,313.  The Company  also agreed to  continue Mr.  Filippone's employee health
benefit package at the Company's expense for  a period of 18 months or until  he
secures  other employment  with comparable  benefits, whichever  is earlier. The
letter agreement  also  provides that,  notwithstanding  the provisions  of  his
option  agreements, options  to purchase 9,090  shares which  had already vested
remained exercisable until February  28, 1996 (these  options were exercised  on
February  28,  1996), and  options for  an additional  9,090 shares  will become
vested on August 15,  1996 and be exercisable  at any time for  a period of  six
months  thereafter. The  remaining options  held by  Mr. Filippone  (to purchase
25,656 shares of Common Stock) were terminated. See also "Certain  Relationships
and Related Transactions," below.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
    During  the year ended  December 31, 1995, the  Company paid Symphony Health
Care Consulting, Inc. ("SHCC"), a subsidiary of IHS, approximately $453,000  for
services  rendered to  the Company for  consulting, training  and cost reporting
services with  respect  to  the Company's  third  party  Medicare  reimbursement
operations. SHCC provides similar services to a number of unrelated companies at
similar  rates. Also,  the Company  paid IHS  approximately $186,000  in 1995 to
reimburse IHS for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection  with
due  diligence  services in  connection with  certain acquisitions.  The Company
believes that the terms on which these services have been and are being provided
are as favorable to  the Company as could  have been obtained from  unaffiliated
third  parties. Robert N. Elkins and John L. Silverman are directors of IHS. Dr.
Elkins is also the Chief Executive Officer and a principal stockholder of IHS.
 
    As part of the financing for the Company's acquisition of MeritWest, Inc. in
December 1993,  the Company  sold an  aggregate  of 81,670  shares of  Series  A
Preferred  Stock and  Warrants to purchase  an aggregate of  1,331,814 shares of
Common Stock to ELI-I and ELI-II, investment partnerships for which DCMI  serves
as  investment  advisor,  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $8.2 million.
Concurrently with the  completion of  the Company's initial  public offering  on
August  15, 1995, the Warrants were exercised  in accordance with their terms by
ELI-I and  ELI-II through  the application  of 263  shares of  Preferred  Stock,
having  a redemption value of $26,300, to the full payment of the exercise price
of the  Warrants, and  the remaining  shares of  Series A  Preferred Stock  were
redeemed  at their  redemption value, together  with accrued  dividends, of $8.2
million. Dividends of $408,000 were paid to ELI-I and ELI-II with respect to the
Series A Preferred Stock during 1995  until redeemed on August 15, 1995.  ELI-I,
ELI-II  and DCMI may each be deemed the  beneficial owner of 19.0% of the Common
Stock. Damon Ball and Daniel G. Pine, directors of the Company, are officers  of
DCMI.
 
    On  July 24, 1995,  the Company borrowed  an aggregate of  $1.0 million from
ELI-I, ELI-II, Dr. Elkins and  another individual. These borrowings were  repaid
with  interest at a rate of  10.34% per annum plus an  amount equal to 2% of the
principal amount borrowed on August 15, 1995 from the proceeds of the  Company's
initial public offering.
 
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND OPTIONS COMMITTEE
 
    The  following report is submitted by the Compensation and Options Committee
of the Board  of Directors which  has power  and authority with  respect to  all
matters pertaining to compensation payable by the Company and the administration
of  the Company's employee  benefit plans, including  the Company's stock option
plans.
 
    GENERAL.  To date, the  principal components of executive compensation  have
been   salary,  bonuses  and  stock  options.  The  Company  has  also  provided
reimbursements and allowances  in connection with  an executive's activities  on
behalf  of  the  Company and  as  inducement to  his  or her  relocation  to the
Company's  headquarters  in  Naples,  Florida  upon  joining  the  Company.  The
Compensation  Committee views salaries as a means  of providing a basic level of
compensation sufficient to attract and retain qualified executives. Bonuses  are
used  to reward  the executive's  personal performance  and contribution  to the
Company's recent overall performance and  are discretionary, except that in  two
instances  executive officers have been guaranteed minimum bonuses for the first
year of employment
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
as an inducement to join the Company. The Committee believes that stock  options
provide  long-term incentive and  align the executive's  interests with those of
stockholders through potential stock ownership and  an increase in the value  of
the Company's Common Stock.
 
    EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENTS.  The compensation of the executive officers named in
the Cash Compensation Table  on page 7  (the "Named Officers"),  as well as  Dr.
Gary  W. Singleton and Deborah A. Lau, the Company's new Chief Executive Officer
and Chief  Operating  Officer,  respectively, are  determined  under  Employment
Agreements entered into to induce the executive to join the Company and relocate
to  Naples, Florida,  where the Company's  executive offices  are located. These
agreements also contain  provisions designed  to provide the  Company with  post
employment  non-competition  and  confidentiality  protection.  Each  Employment
Agreement was separately  negotiated and  the basis and  levels of  compensation
were determined through arms' length negotiations. The full Board, each of whose
members are familiar with the healthcare industry's pay structure, approved each
Employment Agreement.
 
    SALARIES.   Each Employment Agreement provides  for a specified initial base
salary and, to protect the  executive against inflation, annual increases  equal
to  the  change  in  the  Consumer Price  Index.  In  addition,  each Employment
Agreement empowers the Company to further increase the executive's compensation.
In determining whether  to exercise this  power and in  determining salaries  of
other  executive officers,  the Committee  has in the  past, and  intends in the
future, to  examine such  factors as  the executive's  level of  responsibility,
expertise  and performance, as well as the Company's performance. In determining
salary levels of executives  who are not parties  to employment agreements,  the
Committee  also  reviews  existing  economic  (including  cost  of  living)  and
competitive factors. The Committee's  decisions have been  made on a  subjective
basis without assigning weights to any particular factor.
 
    BONUSES.   Each  Employment Agreement  to which  the Company  is presently a
party permits, (except in the case of the negotiated Employment Agreement of Ms.
Lau which provides for a minimum bonus  for 1996), but does not require,  annual
bonuses  (although  in certain  instances  the Employment  Agreement  limits the
amount of bonus). In determining whether to grant bonuses, the Committee intends
to reward the executive for his or her personal performance and contribution  to
the  Company's  overall  performance during  the  year  for which  the  bonus is
granted. Bonuses may  be determined either  on a subjective  basis or  objective
basis by reference to specific predetermined performance targets.
 
    LONG-TERM  INCENTIVE.   To date  the Company  has utilized  stock options to
provide long-term incentive compensation. Options generally have been granted to
executive officers at the time of, and as an incentive to, joining the  Company.
The  Committee believes that stock options  foster the incentive of employees in
seeking long-term growth for  the Company, as well  as linking the interests  of
the  employees  with the  overall  interests of  stockholders.  Accordingly, the
Committee and  the  Board are  recommending  that stockholders  approve  at  the
Meeting  an increase in the number of shares subject to the Company's 1995 Stock
Option Plan. In the case of the Named Officers, the number of options granted to
each and the  terms of each  option were determined  at the time  of, and as  an
inducement  to,  their  joining the  Company  and  as part  of  consideration in
entering into Employment Agreements. Determinations with respect to options that
have been granted to other executives, and future options that may be granted to
executive officers, including the Named Officers, will be made in light of their
level of  responsibility  and  compensation, their  prior  contribution  to  the
Company's  performance and  the future goals  and performance  expected of them,
without assigning specific weights to the  factors. All options granted to  date
to executive officers have provided vesting over a period of not less than three
years  in order to  ensure longer term incentive.  In certain instances, options
have provided for accelerated vesting if certain performance goals are met. Each
of the Company's  employee option plans  are described in  greater detail  under
"Proposal 2. Proposed Amendment to the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan".
 
                                       12

    CHIEF  EXECUTIVE OFFICER  SALARY.   The salary  of Kenneth  W. Creasman, who
served as the Company's  Chief Executive Officer during  1995, was based on  the
terms  of his Employment Agreement. The salary increase of Mr. Creasman for 1995
was based on, in addition to the increase in the Consumer Price Index during the
first year  of  his employment,  his  added  responsibilities in  light  of  the
Company's  acquisitions  and  initial public  offering.  The bonus  paid  to Mr.
Creasman was  determined using  the  same performance  factors as  utilized  for
executive  officers in  general. Mr. Creasman  was not granted  stock options in
1995. The compensation of  Gary W. Singleton, who  replaced Mr. Creasman as  the
Company's  Chief Executive Officer on April  19, 1996, is being determined based
upon his  Employment  Agreement which  was  negotiated with  the  Company.  That
Employment  Agreement is described under the caption "-- Employment Agreements",
above.
 
    CERTAIN TAX LEGISLATION.   Section 162(m)  of the Internal  Revenue Code  of
1986  precludes a public company from taking  a federal income tax deduction for
annual compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to its chief executive  officer
or  any of  its four other  most highly compensated  executive officers. Certain
"performance based compensation" is excluded from the deduction limitation. Each
of the Company's stock option plans  contains provisions which limit the  number
of  options  that may  be granted  to any  one  optionee in  any one  year. Such
provisions are designed to enable  any compensation resulting from the  exercise
of  stock options  granted by  the Company to  be eligible  for the "performance
based compensation"  exclusion.  Based  on  Internal  Revenue  Service  proposed
regulations  and present  compensation levels,  the Committee  believes that the
limitations on  compensation deductibility  under Section  162(m) will  have  no
material effect on the Company for the foreseeable future.
 
                                         Respectfully submitted,
 
                                         Robert N. Elkins
                                          Daniel G. Pine
                                          John L. Silverman

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
 
    The  following graph compares the cumulative return on investment to holders
of the Company's Common  Stock with the Nasdaq  Stock Market-U.S. Index and  the
Nasdaq  Health Services  Index for  the period  from August  10, 1995,  the date
trading commenced in the Company's Common Stock. The comparison assumes $100 was
invested at the initial public offering price for the Company's Common Stock and
in each of the comparison groups at the beginning of trading on August 10, 1995,

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
    During the period from August  1993 through January 1994, Messrs.  Creasman,
Filippone  and Krystopowicz purchased 64,693, 24,271 and 32,346 shares of Common
Stock, respectively, at purchase prices of  $4.64 per share. In connection  with
their  purchases, the Company loaned Mr. Creasman $220,000 ($70,000 of which was
repaid in February 1995  through the payment  of a bonus  to Mr. Creasman),  Mr.
Filippone  $56,250  and  Mr.  Krystopowicz  $75,000.  Each  outstanding  loan is
evidenced by a promissory note (the "Stock Purchase Notes") bearing interest  at
the rate of 8% per annum and payable on February 1, 1997. Under the terms of the
arrangement   pursuant  to   which  Mr.  Creasman's   Employment  Agreement  was
terminated, the Company has loaned Mr. Creasman $141,600 to pay estimated income
taxes payable with respect to the shares purchased by him which may be deemed to
have been  restricted  stock  under  federal income  tax  rules.  Such  loan  is
evidenced  by a promissory note (the "Additional Note"), which bears interest at
the rate of 9%  per annum and is  payable on May 8,  1999. The Company has  also
agreed,  subject  to  obtaining  approval  of  its  senior  secured  lender,  to
repurchase  34,193  of  Mr.  Creasman's   Common  Stock  in  exchange  for   the
cancellation of the remaining balance of his Stock Purchase Note, the Additional
Note  and  $33,233  of accrued  interest.  Under  the terms  of  the arrangement
pursuant to which Mr. Filippone  resigned as an officer  of the Company and  his
Employment  Agreement  was terminated,  the  maturity of  Mr.  Filippone's Stock
Purchase Note was changed from February 1, 1997 to September 1, 1996. Under  the
agreements  pursuant to which  the employment of  Messrs. Creasman and Filippone
were terminated, the right afforded  the Company in their respective  Employment
Agreements  to repurchase their shares in certain  instances in the event of the
termination of the  executive's employment was  cancelled. Under his  Employment
Agreement,  if Mr. Krystopowicz terminates his  employment prior to December 31,
1996, or if the Company terminates his employment for cause, the Company has the
right to purchase one-third of his shares if such termination is during 1996  at
a  purchase price  equal to  the price paid  for such  shares plus  8% per annum
thereon if such purchase  arises from the termination  of his employment by  the
Company  for cause or  at the fair  market value of  such shares in  the case he
voluntarily terminates his employment. The  purchase price for such shares  will
be  credited against Mr.  Krystopowicz's Stock Purchase  Note, and the remaining
outstanding balance of the Stock Purchase Note will become then due and payable.
 
    The Company retained Blass & Driggs, of  which law firm Michael S. Blass,  a
director  of the Company, is  a member, as counsel  during 1995 and is retaining
that law  firm  during 1996.  Fees  paid to  Blass  & Driggs  during  1995  were
$551,100.

Participation"  for information with respect to certain transactions between the
Company and certain other directors of the Company, ELI-I and ELI-II.
 
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
 
    Section 16(a)  of the  Securities  Exchange Act  of  1934, as  amended  (the
"Exchange  Act"), requires the  Company's executive officers  and directors, and
persons who beneficially  own more than  10% of the  Company's Common Stock,  to
timely  file initial statements of stock  ownership and statements of changes of
beneficial ownership with  the Securities  and Exchange  Commission and  furnish
copies  of those  statements to  the Company.  Based solely  on a  review of the
copies  of  the  statements  furnished  to  the  Company  to  date,  or  written
representations  that no statements were required, the Company believes that all
statements required to be  filed by such persons  with respect to the  Company's
fiscal  year ended December 31,  1995 were timely filed,  except that Deborah A.
Lau was  late  in  filing  her Initial  Statement  of  Beneficial  Ownership  of
Securities  on Form  3 following  her election  as Executive  Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer.

                                   PROPOSAL 2
                      PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
                             1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    On May 7, 1996, the Board  of Directors unanimously adopted and  recommended
to  stockholders for  approval an amendment  to the Company's  1995 Stock Option
Plan (the "1995 Plan")  to increase the  number of shares  that the Company  may
issue  pursuant to the 1995 Plan from 235,000 to 500,000 shares of Common Stock.
The Board of Directors believes that an  increase in the number of shares as  to
which  options may be granted to present and future employees and consultants is
necessary in order to provide  the incentives intended by  the 1995 Plan as  the
Company grows both internally and through acquisitions.
 
    The  following discussion is intended,  in addition to providing information
covering  the  proposed  amendment  to  the  1995  Plan  for  consideration   by
stockholders, to provide information to stockholders regarding the 1995 Plan and
the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") and 1993 Senior Executive
Stock  Option Plan (the  "Senior Executive Plan") in  compliance with Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of  1986,
as amended (the "Code") since the 1993 Plan, Senior Executive Plan and 1995 Plan
(collectively,  the  "Employee  Plans")  were approved  by  stockholders  of the
Company prior to both the Company's initial public offering and registration  of
the Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
 
PURPOSE OF THE EMPLOYEE PLANS
 
    The purpose of each of the Employee Plans is to foster the Company's ability
to  attract,  retain  and motivate  present  and  future employees  of  (and, in
addition, in  the case  of the  1993 Plan  and 1995  Plan, consultants  to)  the
Company  who will  be largely  responsible for  the continued  profitability and
long-term future  growth  of the  Company  and to  enable  the Company  and  its
stockholders  to secure the  benefits of stock ownership  by key personnel (with
eligibility limited,  in  the case  of  the  Senior Executive  Plan,  to  senior
executive officers) of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
STOCK SUBJECT TO THE EMPLOYEE PLANS
 
    Presently, the Company may issue 235,000, 74,364 and, after giving effect to
option  exercises to date, 275,490  shares of Common Stock  pursuant to the 1995
Plan, the Senior Executive  Plan and the  1993 Plan, respectively.  Stockholders
are  being asked at the Meeting to increase the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company may issue under the  1995 Plan to 500,000 shares. Such  shares
may be either authorized and unissued or held by the Company in its treasury. At
April  30, 1996,  options to  purchase 13,768  shares of  Common Stock  had been
exercised under  the 1993  Plan  and options  to  purchase 234,910,  37,177  and
269,857  shares of  Common Stock were  outstanding (leaving only  90, 37,187 and
5,633 shares  available for  future  grants) under  the  1995 Plan,  the  Senior
Executive Plan and the 1993 Plan, respectively. New options may be granted under
the  Employee Plans with respect to shares  of Common Stock which are covered by
the unexercised portion  of an  option which has  terminated or  expired by  its
terms, by cancellation or otherwise.
 
TYPE OF OPTIONS
 
    Each  of the Employee  Plans provides for the  granting of either "incentive
stock options"  intended to  qualify for  the favorable  tax treatment  afforded
under  Section  422A  of  the  Code  ("ISOs")  or  non-qualified  stock  options
("NQSOs").
 
ADMINISTRATION
 
    The Employee Plans are to be  administered by a committee (the  "Committee")
consisting of at least two directors appointed by and serving at the pleasure of
the  Company's  Board of  Directors, each  of whom  is a  "disinterested person"
within the  meaning  of Rule  16b-3  promulgated  under the  Exchange  Act.  The
Employee  Plans are currently  being administered by  the Company's Compensation
and Options Committee. To  the extent required by  the applicable provisions  of
Rule 16b-3, no
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
member  of the Committee may have received an option under any Employee Plans or
any  other  stock  option  plan  of  the  Company  (other  than  the   Company's
Non-Employee Stock Option Plan) within one year before his or her appointment or
such other period as may be prescribed by said Rule.
 
    Subject  to the  provisions of  the Employee  Plans, the  Committee has full
power and authority  to interpret,  supervise the administration  and take  such
other  action  as  may be  necessary  or desirable  in  order to  carry  out the
provisions of  the Employee  Plans. The  Committee is  empowered to  select  the
persons to whom options will be granted, grant options, fix the number of shares
of  Common  Stock  covered by  each  such  option and  establish  the  terms and
conditions thereof, including the exercise price, restrictions on exercisability
of the options or on the disposition  of the shares of Common Stock issued  upon
exercise  of the options, and whether such option  is to be treated as an ISO or
NQSO and fix and interpret the provisions of option agreements.
 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
 
    Each option granted  under the Employee  Plans is subject  to the terms  and
conditions   set  forth  in,  and  such  additional  terms  and  conditions  not
inconsistent with,  the  Employee  Plans  (and,  in the  case  of  an  ISO,  not
inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  the  Code  applicable  thereto)  as the
Committee deems appropriate.
 
    The number of shares of Common Stock  covered by an option is determined  by
the Committee at the time of grant of the option. However, the maximum number of
shares  of Common Stock subject to options  which may be granted to any optionee
under an Employee Plan in any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed 100,000.
 
    The exercise price of an option  granted under the Employee Plans cannot  be
less  than the fair market value of the shares  on the date of grant in the case
of ISOs (110% of such fair market value in the case of ISOs granted to optionees
who possess more than 10% of the  combined voting power of all classes of  stock
of  the Company)  and the  par value  of the  shares in  the case  of NQSOs. The
purchase price of Common  Stock acquired pursuant to  the exercise of an  option
granted  under the Employee Plans may be paid  in cash and/or such other form of
payment as  may be  permitted  under the  option agreement,  including,  without
limitation,  previously-owned shares of Common Stock  having a fair market value
on the date of exercise of the option equal to the option exercise price.
 
    The period during which an option may be exercised is fixed by the Committee
but may not exceed 10 years from the  date the option is granted (five years  in
the  case  of an  ISO granted  to optionees  who  possess more  than 10%  of the
combined voting power of all classes of stock in the Company).
 
    No option will become  exercisable unless the person  to whom the option  is
granted  remains  in  the continuous  employ  or  service of  the  Company  or a
subsidiary for at least one year (or for such other period as the Committee  may
designate) from the date the option is granted. Vesting or other restrictions on
the exercisability of an option are determined by the Committee. However, in the
case  of an ISO,  at the time the  option is granted,  the aggregate fair market
value (determined at the time of grant)  of shares of Common Stock with  respect
to  which ISOs  are exercisable for  the first  time by the  optionee during any
calendar year may not exceed $100,000.
 
    If an optionee  ceases to  be employed  by or  to perform  services for  the
Company  and any subsidiary for  any reason other than  death or disability (the
inability of  an  optionee  to  perform  the customary  duties  of  his  or  her
employment  or other  service for  the Company  or a  subsidiary by  reason of a
physical or mental  incapacity which is  expected to  result in death  or be  of
indefinite  duration), then, unless extended by the Committee acting in its sole
discretion, the option will terminate on the date three months after the date of
such termination of employment or service or, if earlier, the date specified  in
the option agreement.
 
    If  an optionee's employment or service is  terminated by reason of death or
disability (or if the optionee's employment  or service is terminated by  reason
of  his  or her  disability and  the optionee  dies within  one year  after such
termination  of  employment   or  service),   then,  unless   extended  by   the
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
Committee  acting in its sole discretion, the  option will terminate on the date
one year after the  date of such  termination of employment  or service (or  one
year  after the  later death of  a disabled  optionee) or, if  earlier, the date
specified in the option agreement.
 
    No option granted under  the Employee Plans may  be assigned or  transferred
except  by will or by the applicable  laws of descent and distribution, and each
such option  may  be  exercised  during the  optionee's  lifetime  only  by  the
optionee.
 
POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENTS AND VESTING ACCELERATION
 
    The  aggregate number and class  of shares for which  options may be granted
under each  Employee Plan,  and the  number,  class of  shares covered  by,  and
exercise price of, each outstanding option, will all be adjusted proportionately
for  any increase  or decrease in  the number  of issued shares  of Common Stock
resulting from  a  split-up or  consolidation  of  shares or  any  like  capital
adjustment, or the payment of any stock dividend.
 
    If  the  stockholders  of  the  Company  receive  capital  stock  of another
corporation ("Exchange Stock") in exchange for  their shares of Common Stock  in
any  transaction involving a merger (other than a merger of the Company in which
the holders  of Common  Stock immediately  prior  to the  merger have  the  same
proportionate ownership of common stock in the surviving corporation immediately
after  the merger), consolidation, acquisition  of property or stock, separation
or reorganization  (other than  a  mere reincorporation  or  the creation  of  a
holding company), all options granted under the Employee Plans will be converted
into  options to purchase  shares of Exchange  Stock unless the  Company and the
corporation issuing the Exchange Stock, in their sole discretion, determine that
any or all such options will not be converted into options to purchase shares of
Exchange Stock but instead will terminate, subject to the acceleration provision
described below and the optionees' prior exercise rights thereunder. The  amount
and  price of converted options  will be determined by  adjusting the amount and
price of the options in the same  proportion as used for determining the  number
of  shares of  Exchange Stock the  holders of  the Common Stock  receive in such
merger,  consolidation,  acquisition  of   property  or  stock,  separation   or
reorganization.  The converted options  will be fully vested  whether or not the
vesting requirements  set forth  in the  optionee's option  agreement have  been
satisfied.
 
    In  the  event of  a "change  of  control" of  the Company,  all outstanding
options under each Employee Plan become fully exercisable, whether or not any of
the vesting conditions has been satisfied and each optionee will have the  right
to  exercise his or her options prior to  such change of control and for as long
thereafter as the option  shall remain in  effect. A "change  in control of  the
Company"  is deemed to occur, in general: (i)  when any person is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" of 30% or more of the Common Stock other than pursuant to  an
arrangement  with the Company; (ii) a change in a majority of the Board during a
consecutive two-year period unless  approved by two-thirds  of the directors  in
office  at the beginning of the period; (iii) in the event of certain mergers or
consolidations; (iv)  in  the  event  of  stockholder  approval  of  a  plan  of
liquidation or (v) the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.
 
DURATION OF THE EMPLOYEE PLANS
 
    The  1995 Plan, Senior Executive Plan and  1993 Plan will terminate on April
1, 2005, July 1, 1993 and  July 1, 1993, respectively, unless sooner  terminated
by  the Board. The rights of optionees  under options outstanding at the time of
the termination of the Employee Plans will  not be affected solely by reason  of
such  termination and will continue  in accordance with the  terms of the option
(as then in effect or thereafter amended).
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT
 
    The following is a  general summary of the  federal income tax  consequences
under current tax law of NQSOs and ISOs. It does not purport to cover all of the
special  rules, including special rules relating to optionees subject to Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act  (executive officers, directors and beneficial  owners
of  10%  or more  of the  Company's Common  Stock)  who do  not hold  the shares
acquired upon the exercise of an option  for at least six months after the  date
of grant of the option and special
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
rules  relating to the exercise of an option with previously-acquired shares, or
the state or local  income or other tax  consequences inherent in the  ownership
and  exercise  of  stock  options  and  the  ownership  and  disposition  of the
underlying shares.
 
    An optionee  will  not  recognize  taxable income  for  federal  income  tax
purposes upon the grant of a NQSO or an ISO.
 
    Upon  the exercise of a NQSO, the optionee will recognize ordinary income in
an amount equal to the  excess, if any, of the  fair market value of the  shares
acquired  on  the date  of exercise  over  the exercise  price thereof,  and the
Company will generally be entitled to a deduction for such amount at that  time.
If  the optionee later sells shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a NQSO,
he or she will recognize  long-term (if such shares are  held for more than  one
year from the date of option exercise) or, otherwise, short-term capital gain or
loss  in an amount equal to the difference between the sales price of the shares
sold and,  in general,  the fair  market  value of  the shares  on the  date  of
exercise of the option.
 
    Upon the exercise of an ISO, the optionee will not recognize taxable income.
If  the optionee disposes of the shares  acquired pursuant to the exercise of an
ISO more than two years after the date of grant and more than one year after the
transfer of the  shares to  him or her,  the optionee  will recognize  long-term
capital  gain  or loss  and the  Company will  not be  entitled to  a deduction.
However, if the  optionee disposes of  such shares within  the required  holding
period,  all or a portion of the gain will be treated as ordinary income and the
Company will generally be entitled to deduct such amount.
 
    Long-term capital gain is generally subject to more favorable tax  treatment
than  ordinary  income or  short-term capital  gain. Proposed  legislation would
treat long-term capital gain even more favorably.
 
    In addition  to the  federal  income tax  consequences described  above,  an
optionee  may be subject to the alternative minimum tax, which is payable to the
extent it  exceeds  the optionee's  regular  tax.  For this  purpose,  upon  the
exercise  of an ISO,  the excess of the  fair market value of  the shares on the
date of exercise of the option over the exercise price therefor is an adjustment
which increases alternative minimum taxable income. In addition, the  optionee's
basis  in such shares is increased by  such excess for purposes of computing the
gain or  loss on  the disposition  of  the shares  for alternative  minimum  tax
purposes.  If an  optionee is  required to pay  an alternative  minimum tax, the
amount of such tax which is attributable to deferral preferences (including  the
ISO  adjustment)  is allowed  as  a credit  against  the optionee's  regular tax
liability in subsequent  years. To  the extent  the credit  is not  used, it  is
carried forward.
 
OPTIONS GRANTED DURING LAST FISCAL YEAR TO EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
 
    The grant of options is within the discretion of the Committee. Accordingly,
except  as noted below,  the Company is  unable to determine  future options, if
any, that may be granted to the  persons or groups to which the following  table
pertains. The following table sets forth the number of shares underlying options
that  were granted (and which are not subject to approval by stockholders of the
proposed amendment to the 1995 Plan) during the year ended December 31, 1995 and
to date in 1996 to  (i) David H. Fater, the  only Named Officer to whom  options
were  granted during that period, (ii) all current executive officers as a group
(including  the  Named  Officers),  (iii)  all  other  employees  and  (iv)  all
consultants.   Non-employee  directors  of  the  Company  are  not  entitled  to
participate in the Employee Plans.

    The exercise price of all  options granted was at  least 100% of the  market
value  of the underlying shares  on the date of grant.  Pursuant to the terms of
the Employment  Agreement  entered  into  in connection  with  his  joining  the
Company,  on May 7, 1996,  the Company granted Gary  W. Singleton, the Company's
new Chief Executive  Officer, an  option to  purchase 100,000  shares of  Common
Stock  at an exercise price  of $9.50 per share. On  that date, the Company also
granted a consultant an option to purchase  10,000 shares of Common Stock at  an
exercise  price of $10.50 per share. Both options are subject to approval of the
proposed amendment to the 1995 Plan.  The foregoing does not include any  dollar
value that may arise from a future increase in the market value of the Company's
Common  Stock. On  May 7,  1996, the closing  price of  the Common  Stock on The
Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market was $10.50 per share.
 
                                   PROPOSAL 3
                      PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY'S
                  1995 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    On May 7, 1996, the Board  of Directors unanimously adopted and  recommended
to  stockholders for approval amendments  to the Company's Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan (the "Non-Employee Director  Plan") which provide: (i) for  an
increase  the  number of  shares  that the  Company  may issue  pursuant  to the
Non-Employee Director Plan from 51,500 to  100,000 shares of Common Stock,  (ii)
that  the  number  of shares  of  Common  Stock subject  to  initial  and annual
automatic grants of options  provided for in the  Non-Employee Director Plan  be
changed  from the  number of  shares obtained  by dividing  $30,000 by  the fair
market value of a  share of Common Stock  on the date the  option is granted  to
fixed numbers of 10,000 shares, in the case of initial grants, and 5,000 shares,
in  the case of annual grants and (iii) that, since each initial option grant to
present non-employee directors covered only  2,967 shares of Common Stock,  each
present  non-employee director  be granted,  on the  date the  Board adopted the
amendments, an  additional initial  option to  purchase 7,033  shares of  Common
Stock.  Members  of the  Board  of Directors  receive  no cash  compensation for
services rendered as directors, but rather  believe that the ability to  acquire
shares  through stock  options better aligns  their interests with  those of the
Company's stockholders. The Board  believes that the increase  in the number  of
shares  subject to the Non-Employee Director Plan  and change in the formula for
determining the number of shares to be subject to initial and annual grants will
facilitate this goal by rewarding directors in instances where the market  price
of the Common Stock increases and eliminating a formula which would result in an
increase in the number of shares to be subject to options in instances where the
market price of the Common Stock decreases.
 
    The  following discussion is intended,  in addition to providing information
concerning the  proposed  amendments  to  the  Non-Employee  Director  Plan  for
consideration  by stockholders, to provide information to stockholders regarding
the Non-Employee Director Plan in compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the  Exchange
Act  since the  Non-Employee Director Plan  was approved by  stockholders of the
Company prior to both the Company's initial public offering and registration  of
the Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
 
PURPOSE OF THE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR PLAN
 
    The purpose of the Non-Employee Director Plan is to make available shares of
Common  Stock for purchase by directors who  are not common law employees of the
Company ("Outside Directors")  and thus to  attract and retain  the services  of
experienced  and knowledgeable Outside Directors for  the benefit of the Company
and its  stockholders, and  to  provide additional  incentive for  such  Outside
Directors  to continue  to work for  the best  interests of the  Company and its
stockholders through continuing ownership of Common Stock.
 
    Presently, the Company may issue 51,500  shares of Common Stock pursuant  to
the  Non-Employee Director Plan. Stockholders are  being asked at the Meeting to
increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue  under
the Non-Employee Director Plan to 100,000.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
Common  Stock related  to the  unexercised portion  of any  terminated, expired,
canceled or forfeited option  will be available for  future option grants  under
the  Non-Employee  Director Plan.  Each  option granted  under  the Non-Employee
Director Plan is a NQSO.
 
ADMINISTRATION
 
    The Non-Employee  Director  Plan is  to  be  administered by  the  Board  of
Directors of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Non-Employee Director
Plan,  the Board of Directors has the  authority to grant options under, fix and
interpret  option  agreements  made  under,  supervise  the  administration  of,
generally interpret, and take such other action as may be necessary or desirable
in order to carry out the provisions of, the Non-Employee Director Plan.
 
GRANT OF OPTIONS
 
    Under  the Non-Employee  Director Plan, each  individual who  was an Outside
Director on  April 1,  1995 was  then granted,  each individual  who  subsequent
thereto becomes an Outside Director is granted on the date of his or her initial
election  to the  Board and each  Outside Director (including  directors who may
have theretofore  been  granted options)  in  office immediately  following  the
conclusion  of each annual meeting of stockholders (commencing with the Meeting)
at which directors are elected (whether or not elected at such meeting) is to be
granted, an option  to purchase a  specified number of  shares of Common  Stock,
provided,  however, that an  individual who becomes an  Outside Director for the
first time at such meeting is granted only one option to purchase the number  of
shares  subject to initial grants to Outside Directors. At present, both initial
grants and annual  grants cover  a number  of shares  of Common  Stock equal  to
$30,000  divided by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date
of grant. Stockholders are being  asked at the Meeting  to change the number  of
shares  subject to initial  and annual grants from  the numbers determined under
such formula to 10,000 and 5,000 shares, respectively. Present Outside Directors
were each granted initial options to purchase 2,967 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price  of  $10.11 per  share  under  the existing  formula.  Under  the
proposed  amendments  to the  Non-Employee Director  Plan,  in order  to provide
present Outside Directors with  the equivalent initial option  grant as will  be
available  to future Outside  Directors, each present  Outside Director has been
granted an additional  option to  purchase 7,033 shares  of Common  Stock at  an
exercise  price of $10.25, the market value of the Company's Common Stock on the
date the  Board adopted  the proposed  amendments to  the Non-Employee  Director
Plan.
 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS GRANTED TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS
 
    The  exercise price of  each option granted  under the Non-Employee Director
Plan is 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the  option
on  the date of grant.  The purchase price of  Common Stock acquired pursuant to
the exercise of an  option granted under the  Non-Employee Director Plan may  be
paid  in cash, previously-acquired  shares of Common Stock  having a fair market
value on the date of exercise of  the option equal to the option exercise  price
or a combination of cash and such previously acquired shares.
 
    The  term of each option granted under the Non-Employee Director Plan is ten
years, subject to earlier termination as described below.
 
    Options granted  under the  Non-Employee Director  Plan are  exercisable  in
three  equal semi-annual installments beginning six months following the date of
grant. An Outside Director purchasing less  than the number of shares  available
for  purchase  in any  period  may purchase  the  unpurchased shares  during the
remaining term of the option.
 
    If an optionee ceases to  be a director of the  Company for any reason,  any
unexercised option held by the optionee shall expire one year following the date
on which the optionee ceased to be a director.
 
    No  option granted under  the Non-Employee Director Plan  may be assigned or
transferred  except  by  will  or  by   the  applicable  laws  of  descent   and
distribution,  and  each  such option  may  be exercised  during  the optionee's
lifetime only by the optionee.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
    Nothing in the plan confers on any Outside Director any right to continue as
a director of the Company.
 
POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENTS AND VESTING ACCELERATION
 
    The Non-Employee Director Plan contains similar provisions as are  contained
in  the Employee Plans for  the adjustment of shares  subject to those plans and
options granted thereunder in  the event of stock  split ups, consolidations  of
shares  and  like  capital adjustments,  stock  dividends  and in  the  event of
mergers, consolidations,  acquisitions  of  property or  stock,  separations  or
reorganizations. The Non-Employee Director Plan also contains similar provisions
as  are  contained in  the Employee  Plans  for the  acceleration of  vesting of
options in the event of a "change in control" of the Company. See "Proposal  No.
2.  Proposed  Amendment to  the Company's  1995 Stock  Option Plan  -- Potential
Adjustments and Vesting Acceleration."
 
TERM OF THE NON-EMPLOYEE PLAN
 
    The Non-Employee  Plan  will  terminate  on April  1,  2005,  unless  sooner
terminated  by the Board.  The rights of optionees  under options outstanding at
the time of the termination of the Non-Employee Plan will not be affected solely
by reason of the termination and will  continue in accordance with the terms  of
the option (as then in effect or thereafter amended).
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT
 
    The  federal income tax consequences to Outside Directors and to the Company
with respect to options  granted and exercised  under the Non-Employee  Director
Plan  are identical to the tax  consequences pertaining to NQSOs discussed under
"Proposal No. 2. Proposed Amendment to  the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan  --
Federal Income Tax Treatment."
 
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
 
    Reference  is made to "-- Grant of Options," above, for information covering
options granted to date under the  Non-Employee Director Plan and options to  be
granted  in the future  if the proposed amendments  to the Non-Employee Director
Plan are approved by stockholders at  the Meeting. If the proposed amendment  is
not adopted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to options to be
granted  initially and annually to non-employee directors will remain at $30,000
divided by the fair market  value of the Common Stock  on the date of grant.  On
May  7, 1996, the closing price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market's
National Market was $10.50 per share.
 
                                   PROPOSAL 4
                 APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
    The firm of KPMG  Peat Marwick LLP has  audited the financial statements  of
the  Company as at and for the three years ended December 31, 1995. The Board of
Directors has, subject to ratification  by stockholders, appointed that firm  to
act as its independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 1996.
Accordingly,  management will present to the  Meeting a resolution to ratify the
appointment of  KPMG  Peat  Marwick  LLP as  the  Company's  independent  public
accountants for the year ending December 31, 1996.
 
    A  representative of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP  is expected to be present at the
Meeting with the opportunity to make  a statement if the representative  desires
