ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Horizon Mental Health Management, Inc. ("Horizon" or the "Company"),
directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the leading contract
manager of mental health programs offered by general acute care hospitals in
the United States.  Horizon's contract management services enable its client
hospitals to expand the clinical services provided to the community by the
hospital.  The treatment programs managed by Horizon provide a continuum of
mental health services, including inpatient hospitalization, partial
hospitalization (or day treatment), outpatient and home health services.  In
addition, Horizon has developed and offers as an additional service a
sophisticated outcome measurement system that permits the client hospital to
demonstrate clinical results of the treatment programs to third-party payors
and that assists the clinical staff in evaluating the effectiveness of the
treatment programs.

     Horizon was incorporated in 1989 and is the successor to Horizon Health
Management Company, which began the development and management of mental health
programs for general acute care hospitals in 1981.  The Company has grown
primarily on an internal basis increasing both the number of its management
contracts and the number and variety of its treatment programs and services.
The Company had management contracts with 108, 112 and 123 general acute care
hospitals at August 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, of which 99, 100 and
107, respectively, had programs in operation on such dates.

   
     At October 25, 1996, Horizon had management contracts with 122 general
acute care hospitals located in 36 states.  As of that date, 107 of the
contracts were in operation covering 189 various treatment programs.  At
present, Horizon primarily manages geropsychiatric mental health treatment
programs (mental health programs for the elderly) and adult psychiatric mental
health treatment programs.  In addition, at October 25, 1996 the Company 
managed six substance abuse treatment programs.  Of the treatment programs in
operation at October 25, 1996, nine provided outpatient services and twelve
provided home health mental health services which the Company initiated as a
new service in August 1994.  In addition to the 189 various treatment programs
at October 25, 1996, the Company had 64 contracts to provide its outcome
measurement services which it initiated as a new service in February 1994.
    

     Effective August 1, 1994, Horizon and Mental Health Management, Inc.
("MHM") formed Horizon Mental Health Management, L.L.C. ("Horizon LLC").
Horizon and MHM owned 72.5% and 27.5% of the Horizon LLC, respectively.  On
such date, the Horizon LLC assumed management responsibility for the
performance of 39 MHM management contracts (of which 37 were in operation).
Twenty-three of such contracts were still in operation and included in the
management contracts of the Company at August 31, 1996 noted above.

     Horizon consummated an initial public offering of its common stock in
March 1995, and closed the sale of additional shares pursuant to the
underwriters' over-allotment option in April 1995.  Of the $11,999,528 net
proceeds to the Company from the offering, $9,683,467 was used in March 1995 to
purchase the entire minority interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC which at that
time became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Horizon LLC was
consolidated with the Company from March 1, 1995 through August 31, 1995.
Effective September 1, 1995, the Horizon LLC was dissolved and its operations
combined with Horizon.  During fiscal 1995, Horizon substantially reduced the
balance of its outstanding long-term indebtedness which it paid in full in
October 1995.  In September 1995, the Company entered into an $11 million
revolving credit agreement with a bank under which it had no outstanding loan
amount at October 31, 1996.





                                       3

     On July 31, 1996, Horizon acquired eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding
common stock of Florida Professional Psychological Services, Inc., also  known
as Professional Psychological Services, Inc. ("PPS").  PPS has been
consolidated with Horizon as of August 1, 1996.  Horizon accounted for the
acquisition of PPS by the purchase method as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.  Based in Clearwater, Florida, PPS specializes in full
risk, capitated managed behavioral health programs and employee assistance
programs.  The purchase price is based primarily on a 6.25 multiple of the 1996
pre-tax income of PPS to be determined in the first quarter of 1997.  As of
October 7, 1996, Horizon estimates the purchase price will be approximately
$1,800,000 of which $1,225,000 was paid on July 31, 1996.  In addition, Horizon
also obtained an option to acquire the remaining twenty percent (20%) of the
outstanding PPS common stock at a future date.  The sellers, constituting all
the shareholders of PPS, also obtained the right to put to Horizon such shares
on certain dates. The option and put prices for the remaining PPS shares are
based on the pre-tax income of PPS in future years.
    

     The Company's executive offices are located at 1500 Waters Ridge Drive,
Lewisville, Texas 75057-6011.  Its telephone number is (972) 420-8200.

MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES INDUSTRY

     A major shift has occurred in the delivery of mental health services away
from the public sector to the private sector.  Concern about increasing mental
health expenditures, especially in the private sector, and publicity about
questionable admission and other practices of certain mental health care
providers have changed the way mental health services are provided.  Partial
hospitalization (or day treatment), outpatient treatment, short-term crisis
intervention, residential treatment and employee assistance plans are examples
of programs that have been designed as alternatives and complements to
inpatient care.

     Payors are increasingly using managed care methods to review and require
pre-approval for mental health treatment and to evaluate alternatives to
inpatient hospitalization in order to ensure that each patient's treatment
regimen utilizes clinical resources efficiently.  In response to the growing
influence of managed care, integrated delivery systems are forming in many
communities.  Integrated delivery systems are alliances of health care
facilities and providers designed to offer a complete range of health care
services in order to serve effectively the growing number of patients covered
by managed care plans.  The Company believes that general acute care hospitals
are an essential component of these integrated delivery systems.

     The Company also believes that, due to higher costs for ancillary medical
services, it costs freestanding psychiatric hospitals more to provide mental
health services than it costs general acute care hospitals to provide inpatient
and partial hospitalization mental health services.  Inpatient and partial
hospitalization services associated with general acute care hospitals have
inherently lower costs due to the ability of such hospitals to utilize excess
capacity.  General acute care hospitals are also able to provide their mental
health patients with needed medical care on-site and in a more cost effective
manner than freestanding psychiatric hospitals.  The Company believes that
patients and their families are more comfortable seeking treatment in a
community based general acute care hospital than in a freestanding psychiatric
hospital.  Unlike freestanding psychiatric hospitals, most patients of general
acute care hospital-based mental health programs are referred by the hospital's
medical staff or result from the hospital's reputation in the community.
Furthermore, unlike general acute care hospitals, freestanding psychiatric
hospitals are not presently eligible to receive reimbursement under the
Medicaid program for mental health care provided to Medicaid-eligible adults.

MARKET FOR MENTAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES

     In addition to the traditional role of providing food service and
housekeeping contract management services, independent contract management
companies are increasingly managing key clinical departments of general acute
care hospitals, including emergency, anesthesia, physical therapy and
psychiatric.  Hospitals outsource mental health programs to independent
management companies for several reasons, including:

     o   Expertise necessary for the development, management and clinical
         operation of mental health programs differs from that for traditional
         medical/surgical services.

     o   Hospitals may lack access to skilled psychiatric professionals and the
         support staff needed to operate mental health programs.

     o   Hospitals may lack expertise in the marketing and development
         activities required to support mental health programs.

     o   Hospitals may lack expertise necessary to design and operate mental
         health programs that qualify as distinct part units ("DPUs") exempt
         from the Medicare diagnosis related groups ("DRGs") system and that
         satisfy regulatory, licensing and accreditation requirements.

     Horizon believes that its expertise in the development and management of
cost-effective mental health programs, complemented by its sophisticated
outcome measurement system, make its management services attractive to general
acute care hospitals.  Horizon believes that hospitals both with and without
existing mental health programs are potential clients.  At October 25, 1996,
approximately 68% of Horizon's contracts were for mental health programs that
did not exist in the hospital prior to Horizon's engagement and approximately
32% were for programs that existed in the hospital prior to Horizon's
engagement.

     The Company believes that significant demand exists for programs offering
a complete continuum of mental health services.  In addition, the Company
believes that general acute care hospital-based mental health programs
providing inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient and home health
services, complemented by a sophisticated quality and outcome measurement
system and by oversight and utilization review under the hospital's medical
staff, are more flexible and attractive partners in integrated delivery
systems.

HORIZON STRATEGY

     Horizon's strategy is to (i) pursue aggressively new management contracts,
(ii) continue to develop all elements of the continuum of mental health
services with existing clients, (iii) emphasize its outcome measurement system
as an additional service and (iv) expand its management of outpatient mental
health services.

     New Management Contracts

     The Company believes that there is a substantial opportunity to provide
mental health contract management services to general acute care hospitals in
the United States.  The Company utilizes a systematic approach to identify
potential client hospitals with a database containing comprehensive financial
and other information on more than 5,000 general acute care hospitals in the
United States.  The Company develops a select list of potential clients which
is reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis and aggressively markets to such
potential clients emphasizing the Company's expertise in managing the continuum
of mental health services and the benefits to the potential clients of offering
mental health programs.  The Company's sales efforts also emphasize the value
of quality, independently managed hospital-based mental health programs to
integrated delivery systems, managed care companies and other payors.





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
     The Company intends to continue to emphasize the area of geropsychiatric
programs in general acute care hospitals.  At October 25, 1996, approximately
68% of the mental health treatment programs managed by the Company were
geropsychiatric programs.  Many elderly patients with short-term mental
illnesses also have physical problems that make the general acute care hospital
environment the most appropriate site for their care.  The Medicare program
reimburses general acute care hospitals for their cost of providing these
services, which includes Horizon's management fee as well as allocated overhead
costs to the facility, and allows reimbursement for partial hospitalization and
home health services that permit the patient to be treated in the most cost-
effective environment.  Horizon has developed a particular expertise in
assisting hospitals to receive Medicare approval and in developing specialized
psychiatric programs for the elderly.

     The Continuum of Mental Health Services

     The Company believes that general acute care hospitals need to be able to
offer a broad array of health care services in order to develop or participate
in integrated delivery systems responsive to the demands of managed care
companies and other third-party payors.  The development of other mental health
services in addition to inpatient hospitalization services has been a key focus
in the Company's efforts to provide management services covering the full
continuum of mental health services.  Prior to 1990, the Company focused only
on the management of programs offering inpatient services.  Since that time, it
has expanded its management services to cover additional elements of the
continuum of mental health services, including partial hospitalization,
outpatient and home health services.

     The Company's CQI+ Outcome Measurement System

     The Company intends to continue to emphasize its CQI+ Outcome Measurement
System, which provides outcome information regarding the effectiveness of a
client hospital's mental health programs.  The availability of such information
is intended to enable the Company and its client hospitals to demonstrate to
third-party payors whether patients are improving as a result of the treatment
provided.  It also provides the Company and the client hospital with a valuable
tool to compare clinical results and refine clinical treatment programs.  With
the growth of managed care, the Company believes that its CQI+ System will
become a more important component of the services it provides.

     Management of Outpatient Mental Health Services

     Historically, the Company did not pursue the management of outpatient
services because it did not want to compete with or duplicate the services
traditionally provided in the offices of psychiatrists and other mental health
professionals.  Recently, however, mental health professionals have sought
outside management expertise in organizing various practice affiliations in
order to compete effectively for managed care business.  Horizon intends to
expand its management of outpatient services and assist psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers and other mental health care professionals in
developing and managing mental health outpatient services as part of integrated
delivery systems or as independent provider networks.  Horizon believes that
its existing relationships with 157 psychiatric medical directors at the
contract locations as of October 25, 1996 provide a significant opportunity for
the development of additional outpatient management services.  The Company
intends to utilize its marketing, outcome measurement, utilization review and
clinical management expertise to expand its management of outpatient services.

HORIZON OPERATIONS

     General

     Horizon operates through a regional structure with offices in the Boston,
Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and Tampa metropolitan areas.  The structure is
designed to keep key operating employees of the Company in direct contact with
clients.  Each of the Company's five regional offices has a vice president with
overall responsibility for up to 30 contract locations and who in turn
supervises regional directors, each of whom has direct responsibility over
eight to ten contract locations.  Other regional office personnel include
clinical and outpatient specialists, who are available to provide assistance to
the local programs and client hospital personnel.  Horizon has approximately
118 employees located at its regional and corporate offices, with an additional
579 employees at the contract locations.

     Management Contracts

     Horizon provides its management services under contracts with its client
hospitals.  The Company is willing to individualize each contract to address
the differing needs of each client and its community.  Horizon and the client
hospital determine the mental health programs and services to be offered by the
hospital and managed by Horizon, which may consist of one or more treatment
programs offering inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient or home health
services.  Under the contracts, the hospital typically provides the space
(including beds for inpatient programs), nursing staff and support services
(such as billing, dietary and housekeeping).

     Contracts are frequently renewed prior to or at their stated expiration
dates.  Some contracts are terminated prior to their stated expiration dates
pursuant to agreement of the parties or early termination provisions included
in the contracts.  As of August 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company had
successfully retained 82%, 77% and 83%, respectively, of the management
contracts in existence at the beginning of such fiscal years.

     Under each contract, Horizon receives a fee for its management services
from the client hospital.  Management fees may be either a variable fee related
in part to patient census at the program or a fixed fee with reimbursement for
direct program costs.  The management fee is frequently subject to periodic
adjustments as a result of changes in the consumer price index or other
economic factors.  A significant number of Horizon's management contracts
require Horizon to refund some or all of its fee if either Medicare
reimbursement for mental health services provided to patients of the programs
is denied or the fee paid to the Company is denied as a reimbursable cost.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, Horizon was required to refund
approximately $393,000 of its fees in relation to these denials.

     Each program has a psychiatric medical director, a program director who is
usually a psychologist or a social worker, a community relations coordinator
and additional social workers or therapists as needed.  Each psychiatric
medical director has a contract with Horizon under which on-site administrative
services needed to administer the program are provided.  These contracts
generally include nondisclosure, nonsolicitation and noncompetition covenants
pursuant to which the medical director agrees not to solicit Horizon employees
for specified periods, disclose confidential information of Horizon or render
certain administrative or management services within specified time periods and
geographic areas to any enterprise in competition with Horizon or the programs
it manages.  Except for the nursing staff, which is typically provided by the
hospital, the other program personnel are employees of Horizon.  At October 1,
1996, Horizon had up to 13 employees at each contract location, with an average
of five employees per contract location.  Horizon's management contracts
typically prohibit the client hospital from soliciting the employment of
Horizon employees during the contract term and for specified periods
thereafter.





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
     Horizon assists in the development of each mental health program as
requested by the client hospital, including such matters as licensing,
accreditation, certificate of need approvals and Medicare certification.
Horizon also develops and implements a marketing plan for the mental health
programs to be offered by the hospital.  Each program is marketed locally with
an emphasis on the hospital addressing the needs of the local community.
Horizon markets the mental health programs in the community in the name of the
client hospital.  Horizon's name is not used and its role is not publicly
emphasized in the operation of the mental health programs offered by its client
hospitals.  Each patient is admitted by the medical staff of the client
hospital, and all charges for mental health services provided to the patient
accrue directly to the client hospital or treating physician.

     Horizon also develops and maintains standardized policy and procedure
manuals, initial and ongoing staff training and education, and comprehensive
quality assurance procedures.  Each local program director receives ongoing
support from the National Support Center and regional support staff in all
areas including recruiting, finance, reimbursement, development, marketing and
quality assurance.

     Treatment Programs

     Horizon has the expertise to manage a broad range of clinical mental
health programs, including geropsychiatric, general adult, substance abuse and
adolescent programs.  The programs use a treatment team concept, with the
admitting physician, team psychologist, social workers, nurses, therapists and
counselors coordinating each phase of therapy.  The programs include crisis
intervention, individual therapy, group and family therapy, recreational
therapy, occupational therapy, lifestyle education, social services and
substance abuse counseling.  Family involvement is encouraged.  Each treatment
program is individually tailored as much as practicable to meet the needs of
the patients, the client hospital, physicians and payor groups.

     Elements of the Continuum of Care

     The treatment programs managed by Horizon are designed to provide a
continuum of mental health services, consisting of inpatient, partial
hospitalization (or day treatment), outpatient and home health services.

     Inpatient Services.  Inpatient services are generally provided to patients
needing the most intensive mental health treatment and who frequently have
accompanying medical care needs.  The patient is admitted to the client
hospital and remains there on a 24-hour per day basis throughout the course of
the inpatient treatment, which is continued until the patient can be stabilized
and moved to another level in the continuum of mental health services.

     Partial Hospitalization.  Partial hospitalization services are provided
for limited periods per day at established intervals with the patient returning
home at the conclusion of each day's treatment.  Partial hospitalization
services are designed to be both an alternative to inpatient hospitalization
services and a key component of care following inpatient hospitalization.

     Outpatient Services.  Outpatient services consist generally of
consultative sessions which can be rendered in a variety of individual or group
settings at various locations, including hospitals, clinics or the offices of
the service provider.  Outpatient service providers can also serve as
gatekeepers for persons being evaluated for treatment. Once an individual is
assessed for treatment in an outpatient environment, the individual is provided
the appropriate level of service in relation to the diagnosis.

     Home Health Services.  Home health services are provided in the patient's
home.  Typically, these services are provided on a periodic basis by an
experienced psychiatric nurse working under the direct supervision of a
psychiatrist.  The nurse may provide medication management, vital sign
monitoring, individual and family therapy, and other related clinical services.
Patients utilizing home health services include individuals whose clinical
conditions make it difficult or impossible to leave their homes due to
psychiatric illness or a combination of psychiatric and medical illness.  Home
health service patients also include patients without access to transportation.
Patients over the age of 65 often use psychiatric home health services.

<PAGE>   9
     CQI+ Outcome Measurement System

     The Company has developed a sophisticated outcome measurement system,
known as the CQI+ Outcome Measurement System, which it began offering in 1993.
This system allows client hospitals to demonstrate clinical program results to
managed care companies and other payors.  In addition, the CQI+ System provides
a qualitative and quantitative tool for the clinical staff to evaluate the
clinical effectiveness of the treatment programs and to make adjustments in the
programs in order to improve quality and appropriateness of care.  It also
assists the client hospitals in complying with the increasing demands of
regulatory and accrediting bodies for quality assessment of their mental health
programs.

     Under the CQI+ System, sample data is collected from randomly selected
patients at admission, discharge and 90 to 120 days after discharge.  Semi-
annual outcome reports include a summary of patient characteristics and outcome
measures.  A multi-disciplinary committee reviews and analyzes the data in
order to identify specific areas for program improvement.  A regional clinical
consultant then prepares an implementation plan.  Program improvements
implemented through this process are evaluated for use at other treatment
programs managed by the Company.  Horizon trains and supervises on-site
personnel to ensure the collection of accurate outcome measurement data.

     The services provided by the CQI+ System enable the client hospitals to
demonstrate to third-party payors the results of the treatment provided.  At
October 25, 1996, 64 of the Company's management contracts included the CQI+
System and 46 had been implemented.

     Internal Clinical Audits

     Horizon has established a comprehensive internal clinical audit process.
The Company's regional clinical specialists review the services and clinical
documentation of the treatment programs to ensure compliance with client
hospital, federal and state standards.  The Company also has an internal
clinical auditor who makes unannounced visits to contract locations on a
periodic basis.  The auditor reviews medical records and marketing programs,
and conducts interviews with physicians, referral sources and client hospital
staff members.  Results of the audits are reported directly to the senior
management of the Company, rather than through the normal operating
organization.

</TABLE>


Fifteen of the 122 contracts were not in operation at October 25, 1996, but are
anticipated to commence program operations within the next twelve months.

     Training

     Each operating region is responsible for training new employees, including
formalized instruction and on-the-job training.  Continuing education programs
are also provided to employees.  In addition, the Company has a centralized
orientation program for new program directors and an annual conference for all
program directors.

     Marketing Programs

     Because the treatment programs managed by the Company are offered by
general acute care hospitals, most patients are referred by the client
hospital's medical staff or result from relationships that the client hospital
has in the community.  Each contract location has a community referral
coordinator who works with a referral development committee consisting of
Company and hospital personnel to identify prospective referral sources.  The
community referral coordinator informs physicians and other mental health
professionals and nursing homes in the community of the treatment programs that
are available at the client hospital.  The community referral coordinator also
designs and offers community educational programs regarding mental health
issues.

     Management Contract Sales

     At October 1, 1996, the Company employed seven full-time management
contract salespersons.  At least one salesperson is located in each of the
regional offices.  The Company compiles information from numerous databases to
identify prospective clients.  The Company has developed profiles of over 5,000
hospitals in the United States, with numerous financial and operating
characteristics for each hospital.  Potential clients include hospitals without
existing mental health programs, as well as hospitals with existing mental
health programs of which the Company could assume management.  A select list of
candidates is systematically and regularly updated based on criteria indicating
which hospitals are the most likely potential clients.  A Horizon salesperson
directly contacts the prospective clients and, where appropriate, presents a
detailed proposal to key decision-makers.  The proposal often contains detailed
financial projections of the proposed mental health programs.  Horizon works
with the potential client to develop contract terms responsive to the client's
specific needs.

     Client Hospitals

     Horizon's clients range from large tertiary care hospitals to other
general acute care hospitals located in smaller communities.  At October 25,
1996, 42% of Horizon's management contracts were with proprietary chain
hospitals.  The remainder are mostly community not-for-profit hospitals.  Other
Horizon clients include proprietary general acute care hospitals, some of which
are members of an affiliated group.

     At August 31, 1996, Horizon had management contracts with 32 hospitals
directly or indirectly owned by Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation
("Columbia/HCA"), of which 27 had programs in operation.  These 27 contracts
accounted for 23.0% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended August 31,
1996.  In the aggregate, including terminated contracts, revenues generated by
hospitals directly or indirectly owned by Columbia/HCA accounted for 26.1% of
the Company's net revenues for the year ended August 31, 1996.  Of the 32
Columbia/HCA contracts at August 31, 1996, 19 contracts contain a provision
limiting the number of contracts which Columbia/HCA can cancel without cause to
33.3% during any calendar year.  The termination or non-renewal of all or a
substantial part of the management contracts with hospitals owned by
Columbia/HCA could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations.  In addition, at August 31, 1996,
Horizon had eight management contracts with hospitals owned by Community Health
Systems, of which seven had programs in operation and accounted for 6.2% of the
Company's net revenues for the year ended August 31, 1996.  No other individual
hospital or affiliated group of hospitals accounted for more than 5% of the
gross revenues of Horizon in such fiscal year.

COMPETITION

     The mental health contract management services industry is highly
competitive.  Horizon competes with several national competitors and many
regional and local competitors, some of which have greater resources than
Horizon.  In addition, hospitals could elect to manage their own mental health
programs.

     Competition among contract managers for hospital-based mental health
programs is generally based upon reputation, price, the ability to provide
financial and other benefits for the hospital, and the management expertise
necessary to enable the hospital to offer mental health programs that provide
the full continuum of mental health services in a quality and cost-effective
manner.  The pressure to reduce health care expenditures has emphasized the
need to manage the appropriateness of mental health services provided to
patients.  As a result, competitors without management experience covering the
various levels of the continuum of mental health services may not be able to
compete successfully.  Horizon believes that its reputation and management
expertise will enable it to compete successfully in this rapidly changing
market.





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
     In addition, general acute care hospitals offering mental health services
compete for patients with other providers of mental health care, including
freestanding psychiatric hospitals, independent psychiatrists, psychologists
and other mental health care providers.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     Horizon's business is affected by federal, state and local laws and
regulations concerning, among other matters, mental health facilities and
reimbursement for mental health services.  These regulations impact the
development and operation of mental health programs managed by Horizon for its
client hospitals.  Licensing, certification, reimbursement and other applicable
government regulations vary by jurisdiction and are subject to periodic
revision.  Horizon is not able to predict the content or impact of future
changes in laws or regulations affecting the mental health industry.

     Mental Health Facility Use and Certification

     Hospital facilities are subject to various federal, state and local
regulations, including facilities use, licensure and inspection requirements,
and licensing or certification requirements of federal, state and local health
agencies.  Many states also have certificate of need laws intended to avoid the
proliferation of unnecessary or under-utilized health care services and
facilities.  The mental health programs which Horizon manages are also subject
to licensure and certification requirements.  Horizon assists its client
hospitals in obtaining required approvals for new programs.  Some approval
processes may lengthen the time required for programs to commence operations.
In granting and renewing a facility's licenses, governmental agencies generally
consider, among other factors, the physical condition of the facility, the
qualifications of administrative and professional staff, the quality of
professional and other services, and the continuing compliance of such facility
with the laws and regulations applicable to its operations.  Horizon believes
that the mental health programs it manages and the facilities of the client
hospitals used in the operation of such programs comply in all material
respects with applicable licensing and certification requirements.

     Reimbursement for Mental Health Services

     Most of the Company's client hospitals receive reimbursement under one or
more of the Medicare or Medicaid programs for mental health services provided
in programs managed by Horizon.  Horizon is paid directly by its client
hospitals for the management services it provides.  While fees paid to Horizon
by its client hospitals are not subject to or based upon reimbursement under
the Medicare or Medicaid programs or from any other third-party payor, under
many of its management contracts the Company is obligated to refund all or a
portion of its fee if either Medicare denies reimbursement for an individual
patient treatment or if the fee paid to the Company is denied by Medicare as a
reimbursable cost.  In order to receive reimbursement under the Medicare or
Medicaid programs, each hospital or facility must meet applicable requirements
promulgated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services
relating to the type of facility, personnel, standards of patient care and
compliance with all state and local laws, rules and regulations.  Horizon
believes that the programs it manages comply in all material respects with
applicable Medicare and Medicaid requirements.





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
     In the mid-1980's, changes in reimbursement rates and procedures included
the creation of the Medicare prospective payment system using predetermined
reimbursement rates for diagnosis related groups ("DRGs").  The DRG system
established fixed payment amounts per discharge for diagnoses generally
provided by acute care hospitals.  Mental health services provided by acute
care hospitals which qualify for an exemption are deemed to be distinct part
units ("DPUs") and are not included in the DRG system.  Services provided by
DPUs are reimbursed on an actual cost basis, subject to certain limitations.
The mental health programs managed by Horizon which are eligible for
reimbursement by the Medicare program currently meet the applicable
requirements for designation as DPUs and are exempt from the DRG system.  In
the future, however, it is possible that Medicare reimbursement for mental
health services, including those provided by programs managed by the Company,
could be under the DRG system or otherwise altered.  At October 25, 1996, of
the 189 treatment programs managed by the Company, 128 were geropsychiatric
programs for which a substantial majority of the patients are covered by
Medicare.  Since a substantial portion of the patients of the programs managed
by the Company are covered by Medicare, any changes which limit or reduce
Medicare reimbursement levels could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's client hospitals and, in turn, on the Company.

     The Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory
changes, retroactive and prospective rate adjustments, administrative rulings
and funding restrictions, any of which could have the effect of limiting or
reducing reimbursement levels to general acute care hospitals for mental health
services provided by programs managed by the Company.  The Company cannot
predict whether any changes to such government programs will be adopted or, if
adopted, the effect, if any, such changes will have on the Company.  In
addition, a significant number of Horizon's management contracts require the
Company to refund some or all of its fee if Medicare reimbursement to the
client hospital is disallowed for a patient treated in a program managed by the
Company or if the fee paid to Horizon is disallowed as a reimbursable cost.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, Horizon was required to refund
approximately $393,000 of its fees in relation to these denials. Also, 
Medicare retrospectively audits cost reports of client hospitals upon which
Medicare reimbursement for services rendered in the programs managed by the
Company is based.  Accordingly, at any time, the Company could be subject to
refund obligations to client hospitals for prior year cost reports that have not
been audited and settled at the date hereof.  Any significant decrease in
Medicare reimbursement levels, the imposition of significant restrictions on
participation in the Medicare program, or the disallowance by Medicare of any
significant portion of the client hospital's costs, including the fee to the
Company, where the Company has a reimbursement denial repayment obligation could
adversely affect the Company.  There can be no assurance that hospitals which
offer mental health programs now or hereafter managed by the Company will
satisfy the requirements for participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs.

     Payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, are attempting to manage costs,
resulting in declining amounts paid or reimbursed to hospitals for the services
provided.  As a result, the Company anticipates that the number of patients
served by general acute care hospitals on a per diem, episodic or capitated
basis will increase in the future.  There can be no assurance that if amounts
paid or reimbursed to hospitals decline, it will not adversely affect the
Company.

     Medicare regulations limit reimbursement for mental health and other
health care charges paid to related parties.  A party is considered "related"
to a provider if it is deemed to be controlled by the provider.  One test for
determining control for this purpose is whether the percentage of the total
revenues of the party received from services rendered to the provider is so
high that it effectively constitutes control.  Although the Company does not
receive sufficient revenues from any customer, including Columbia/HCA, that
would make it a related party, it is possible that such regulations could limit
the number of management contracts that the Company could have with
Columbia/HCA or any other client.





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
     Federal law contains certain provisions designed to ensure that services
rendered by hospitals to Medicare and Medicaid patients are medically necessary
and meet professionally recognized standards.  These provisions include a
requirement that admissions of Medicare and Medicaid patients to hospitals must
be reviewed in a timely manner to determine the medical necessity of the
admissions.  In addition, these provisions state that a hospital may be
required by the federal government to reimburse the government for the cost of
Medicare-reimbursed services that are determined by a peer review organization
to have been medically unnecessary.  Horizon and its client hospitals have
developed and implemented quality assurance programs and procedures for
utilization review and retrospective patient care evaluation intended to meet
these requirements.

     Patient Referral Laws

     Various state and federal laws regulate the relationships between health
care providers and referral sources, including federal and state fraud and
abuse laws prohibiting individuals and entities from knowingly and willfully
offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration in order to induce
referrals for the furnishing of health care services or items.  These federal
laws generally apply only to referrals for items or services reimbursed under
the Medicare or Medicaid programs or any state health care program.  The
objective of these laws is generally to ensure that the purpose of a referral
is quality of care and not monetary gain by the referring party.  Violations of
such laws can result in felony criminal penalties, civil sanctions and
exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

     In addition, federal and some state laws impose restrictions on referrals
for certain designated health services by physicians and, in a few states,
psychologists and other mental health care professionals to entities with which
they have financial relationships.  The Company believes that its operations
comply with these restrictions to the extent applicable, although no assurance
can be given regarding compliance in any particular factual situation.  Federal
legislation has been considered to expand current law from its application to
Medicare and Medicaid business to all payors and to additional health services.
Certain states are considering adopting similar restrictions or expanding the
scope of existing restrictions.  There can be no assurance that the federal
government or other states in which the Company operates will not enact similar
or more restrictive legislation or restrictions that could under certain
circumstances impact the Company's operations.

     Under a significant number of its management contracts, Horizon receives a
variable fee related in part to average daily patient census of the mental
health program.  In addition, Horizon has entered into agreements with
physicians to serve as medical directors at the mental health programs and
facilities managed by Horizon, which generally provide for payments to such
persons by Horizon as compensation for their administrative services.  These
medical directors also generally provide professional services at such mental
health programs and facilities.  In 1991, regulations were issued under federal
fraud and abuse laws creating certain "safe harbors" for relationships between
health care providers and referral sources.  Any relationship that satisfies
the terms of the safe harbor is considered permitted.  Failure to satisfy a
safe harbor, however, does not mean that the relationship is prohibited.
Although the contracts and relationships between Horizon and its client
hospitals and medical directors are not within the safe harbors, the Company
believes that such contracts and relationships comply with applicable laws.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's activities will not be
challenged by regulatory authorities.

     Mental Health Care Patient Rights

     Many states have adopted "patient bill of rights" regulations which set
forth standards for least restrictive treatment, patient confidentiality,
patient access to mail and telephones, patient access to legal counsel and
requirements that patients be treated with dignity.  There are also laws and
regulations relating to the civil commitment of patients to mental health
programs, disclosure of information concerning patient treatments and related
matters.

     Health Care Reform

     The Clinton Administration and various federal legislators have considered
health care reform proposals intended to control health care costs and to
improve access to medical services for uninsured individuals.  These proposals
included proposed cutbacks to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and steps to
permit greater flexibility in the administration of Medicaid.  In addition,
some states in which the Company operates are considering various health care
reform proposals.  It is uncertain at this time what legislation on health care
reform may ultimately be enacted or whether other changes in the administration
or interpretation of governmental health care programs will occur.  There can
be no assurance that future health care legislation or other changes in the
administration or interpretation of governmental health care programs will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
or results of operations.

EMPLOYEES

     At October 1, 1996, the Company employed 697 people, including 594 full-
time employees and 103 part-time employees.  The Company has no collective
bargaining agreements with any unions and believes that its overall relations
with its employees are good.  In addition, at October 25, 1996, the Company had
administrative services contracts with 157 physicians to serve as medical
directors for the mental health programs managed by Horizon.

INSURANCE

     The Company carries general liability, comprehensive property damage,
malpractice, workers' compensation and other insurance coverages that
management considers adequate for the protection of the Company's assets and
operations.  There can be no assurance, however, that the coverage limits of
such policies will be adequate.  A successful claim against the Company in
excess of its insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     At August 31, 1996, the Company leased 9,702 square feet for its National
Support Center in Denton, Texas under lease terms expiring on September 30,
1996.  Subsequent to the end of fiscal year 1996, the Company relocated its
National Support Center to Lewisville, Texas and occupied a building consisting
of 40,000 square feet under lease terms expiring September 26, 2001.  In
association with the move, the Company did not renew four leases in the Dallas
metropolitan area for 19,253 square feet under lease terms expiring September
30, 1996.  The four offices were relocated to the new National Support Center
in Lewisville, Texas.

     In addition, at August 31, 1996 the Company leased an aggregate of 16,919
square feet of space for five regional offices in the Boston, Chicago, Dallas,
San Francisco, and Tampa metropolitan areas, with lease terms expiring from
September 1996 to January 1999.  The Company also leases 1932 and 978 square
feet of space for outpatient clinics in Little Rock, Arkansas and Sparks,
Nevada.  Except for one partial hospitalization program operating in 3,437
square feet of space, the space required for mental health programs managed by
the Company is provided by the client hospitals either within their existing
facilities or at other locations owned or leased by the hospitals.

     Effective with the acquisition of PPS on July 31, 1996, the Company leases
an aggregate of 12,628 square feet in the Tampa metropolitan area with lease
terms expiring from September 30, 1997 to April 30, 2001.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is, and may be in the future, party to litigation arising in
the course of its business. While the Company has no reason to believe that any
pending claims are material, there can be no assurance that the Company's
insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all liabilities arising out of
such claims or that any such claims will be covered by the Company's insurance.
Any material claim which is not covered by insurance may have an adverse effect
on the Company's business.  Claims against the Company, regardless of their
merit or outcome, may also have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation
and business.

         The Company has not paid or declared any cash dividends on its capital
stock since its inception.  The Company currently intends to retain all future
earnings for use in the expansion and operation of its business.  Future
borrowings may limit the Company's ability to pay dividends.  The payment of
any future cash dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in light
of conditions then existing, including the Company's earnings, financial
condition and capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements,
business conditions and other factors.  See  "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and

         (1) Effective August 1, 1994, the Horizon LLC assumed management
             responsibility for all of the then existing management contracts
             of Horizon and MHM.  Certain provisions of the limited liability
             company agreement of the Horizon LLC which required the consent of
             MHM for certain transactions prevented Horizon from having the
             ability to control the Horizon LLC under generally accepted
             accounting principles and therefore the Horizon LLC is not
             consolidated with Horizon for accounting purposes through February
             28, 1995.  As a result, the revenues and expenses of the Horizon
             LLC for the period August 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995 are
             not included in Horizon (Historical) revenues and expenses;
             instead, for such periods Horizon accounted for its investment in
             the Horizon LLC by the equity method, and reflected Horizon's
             share of the Horizon LLC's net income for the period in question
             as "Equity in Net Earnings of Horizon LLC."  Effective with the
             acquisition of the minority interest of MHM on March 20, 1995, the
             Horizon LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon and has
             therefore been consolidated with the Company effective March 1,
             1995.
   

         (2) Other revenues consist primarily of revenues earned from Ross and
             Mountain Crest Hospitals while owned  or operated by Horizon,
             patient services and physician contract management fees, or
             subsequent balance sheets adjustments recognized during the
             respective period.  On November 30, 1992, Horizon and OrNda
             HealthCorp ("OrNda"), then a related party, entered into a
             restructuring agreement which resulted in the sale of Ross
             Hospital to OrNda (see Selected Financial Data footnote 3).
             Additionally, Horizon subleased the operations of Mountain Crest
             Hospital to MHM effective July 31, 1994.  See also "Management's
             Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
             Operations- Overview."

         (3) Includes a loss of $3.9 million in the year ended August 31, 1992
             as a result of the sale to OrNda of Ross Hospital.

         (4) Certain provisions of the limited liability company agreement of
             the Horizon LLC which required the consent of MHM for certain
             transactions prevented the Company from having the ability to
             control the Horizon LLC under generally accepted accounting
             principles and therefore the Horizon LLC was not consolidated with
             the Company for accounting purposes through February 28, 1995.  As
             a result of Horizon's March 20, 1995 acquisition of the minority
             interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC, the Horizon LLC became a
             wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon and has been consolidated with
             the Company effective March 1, 1995.  The Company's share of the
             Horizon LLC's net earnings was $364,000 through August 31, 1994
             and $1,567,720 from September 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995.
             The Horizon LLC contract stipulated that MHM, as a member of the
             Horizon LLC, would be allocated the first $1,750,000 of Horizon
             LLC net earnings in each of the fiscal years ending August 31,
             1995 and 1996.  $1,750,000 was allocated to MHM during the six
             months ended February 28, 1995.

         (5) On August 1, 1996, Horizon purchased 80% of the outstanding common
             stock of PPS.  Due to this purchase, $1,774,575 was recorded as
             goodwill and will be amortized over forty years.  On March 20,
             1995, $9,683,467 of the net proceeds to the Company from its
             initial public offering were used to purchase MHM's minority
             interest in the Horizon LLC.  The purchase transaction eliminated
             MHM's equity interest in the Horizon LLC ($2,794,715) and
             recognized an increase in intangible assets based upon the value
             of the Horizon LLC management contracts ($2,355,000).  The
             remaining purchase price was recorded as goodwill ($4,533,752).
             The recorded goodwill was increased by $376,639 in March, 1996
             based on a final valuation of MHM's minority interest.  The
             increase in contract value will be amortized over seven years and
             the goodwill over forty years.

         (6) Adjusted to reflect a three-for-two-stock split effected by
             Horizon as a 50% stock dividend on January 31, 1997.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
             AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The Company was formed in July 1989 as a wholly owned subsidiary of
the predecessor to OrNda for the purpose of acquiring all the assets of two
other wholly owned subsidiaries of OrNda.  One of those other OrNda
subsidiaries, known as Horizon Health Management Company, had been formed in
1981 and since that time had been engaged in the mental health contract
management business.  The other OrNda subsidiary owned a freestanding
psychiatric hospital (Ross Hospital) in California.  Effective March 1, 1990,
the assets constituting the contract management business and the psychiatric
hospital were transferred to Horizon, and Horizon entered into a contract to
manage a freestanding chemical dependency facility in Texas also owned by
OrNda.  Thereafter, the Company issued shares to certain of its officers and
OrNda sold a portion of its shares to three individuals and an officer of the
Company, which reduced the ownership interest of OrNda in the Company to less
than 50%.

         In December 1990, a subsidiary of the Company leased a freestanding
psychiatric hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado (Mountain Crest Hospital).  In
1991, senior management decided to focus the Company exclusively on being a
manager of mental health services for general acute care hospitals.  In March
1991, the Company ended its contract to manage the freestanding chemical
dependency facility in Texas.  On November 30, 1992, the Company sold Ross
Hospital to OrNda.

         Effective August 1, 1994, Horizon and MHM formed the Horizon LLC.
Horizon signed a contract with the Horizon LLC to have it manage all of
Horizon's then existing management contracts with an agreed value, for tax
purposes, of $11,288,000 and committed to funding obligations of $3,600,000 for
a 72.5% interest.  Prior to March 20, 1995, the remaining 27.5% interest in the
Horizon LLC was held by MHM which signed a contract with the Horizon LLC to
have it manage all of MHM's then existing 39 management contracts with an
agreed value, for tax purposes, of $3,247,000 and committed to funding
obligations of $2,400,000.  Prior to the Company's acquisition of the minority
interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC, as discussed below, certain provisions of
the limited liability company agreement of the Horizon LLC which required the
consent of MHM for certain transactions prevented Horizon from having the
ability to control the Horizon LLC under generally accepted accounting
principles, and therefore the Horizon LLC was not consolidated with Horizon and
Horizon accounted for its investment in the Horizon LLC by the equity method
through the six months ended February 28, 1995.  Prior to formation of the
Horizon LLC, Horizon's contracts were managed through a wholly owned
subsidiary.  The Horizon LLC contract stipulated that MHM, as a member in the
Horizon LLC, would be allocated the first $1,750,000 of the Horizon LLC income
in the two fiscal years ending August 31, 1995 and 1996.  For the month of
August 1994, Horizon was allocated 72.5% of the Horizon LLC's income of
$502,091.  During the six months ended February 28, 1995, MHM was allocated a
total of $1,750,000 of the Horizon LLC's income while Horizon was allocated
$1,567,720.

         Just prior to the Horizon LLC formation, a subsidiary of Horizon
subleased Mountain Crest Hospital to MHM for a period commencing July 31, 1994
through December 31, 2000.  The Company guaranteed the obligations of the
subsidiary under the primary lease.  Under the sublease, MHM is required to pay
the rental under the primary lease.  In addition, the sublease requires MHM to
make monthly rental payments to Horizon of 50% of the hospital's operating cash
flow, as defined, subject to a minimum monthly payment of $20,000, not to
exceed $1,200,000 in the aggregate over the sublease life which expires upon
expiration of the primary lease on December 31, 2000.  The net revenues,
operating income, total assets and total liabilities of Mountain Crest Hospital
for the year ended August 31, 1993 and the eleven months ended July 31, 1994
have been consolidated with operating results of Horizon for the years ended
August 31, 1993 and 1994 for the consolidated financial statement presentation.
Under the terms of the primary lease, the Company is permitted to present a
substitute guarantor and the lessor has agreed not to withhold unreasonably its
consent to the substitute guarantor.  The Company has provided the substitute
guaranty of MHM to the lessor and believes it has satisfied the conditions for
the release of its guaranty.  The lessor, however, has not yet acknowledged in
writing the release of the Company's guaranty.

         Upon completion of its initial public offering of common stock, which
included the sale by OrNda as a selling stockholder of all of its common stock
of the Company, Horizon became contractually obligated to acquire the minority
interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC.  March 13, 1995 was the effective date of
the initial public offering.  The acquisition of the minority interest of MHM
was effective March 20, 1995.  As such, the Horizon LLC became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Horizon.  The Horizon LLC was consolidated with the Company
effective March 1, 1995.  Effective September 1, 1995, the Horizon LLC was
dissolved.

   
         On July 31, 1996, Horizon acquired eighty percent (80%) of the
outstanding common stock of Florida Professional Psychological Services, Inc.,
also  known as Professional Psychological Services, Inc. ("PPS").  PPS has been
consolidated with Horizon as of August 1, 1996.  Horizon accounted for the
acquisition of PPS by the purchase method as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.  Based on Clearwater, Florida, PPS specializes in full
risk, capitated managed behavioral health programs and employee assistance
programs.  The purchase price is based primarily on a 6.25 multiple of the 1996
pre-tax income of PPS to be determined in the first quarter of 1997.  As of
October 7, 1996, Horizon estimates the purchase price will be approximately
$1,800,000 of which $1,225,000 was paid on July 31, 1996.  In addition, Horizon
also obtained an option to acquire the remaining twenty percent (20%) of the
outstanding PPS common stock at a future date.  The sellers, constituting all
the shareholders of PPS, also obtained the right to put to Horizon such shares
on certain dates. The option and put prices for the remaining PPS shares are
based on a multiple of the pre-tax income of PPS in future years.
    

         At August 31, 1996, the Company had management contracts with 123
general acute care hospitals located in 37 states, representing 191 various
treatment programs in operation.

* Reflects the assumption by the Horizon LLC of management responsibility under
the 39 MHM contracts effective August 1, 1994, of which 37 contracts had
commenced operations at that date.

   
(A) Beginning with the quarter ended February 29, 1996, new methodology which
    redefined the statistical definition of an operating service or program was
    implemented. To avoid duplicity, multiple services/treatment programs within
    each category at one location are now being reported as a single
    service/treatment program where the predominant treatment defines the
    appropriate categories. As a result of this reporting change, prior periods
    have been restated as estimates based on the new reporting definition.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996 (HISTORICAL) COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED
AUGUST 31, 1995 (HISTORICAL)

         Effective August 1, 1994, the Horizon LLC assumed management
responsibility for all of the contract management business of the Company in
return for all of the economic benefits accruing thereafter from the management
contracts of the Company.  Certain provisions of the limited liability company
agreement of the Horizon LLC which required the consent of MHM for certain
transactions prevented the Company from having the ability to control the
Horizon LLC under generally accepted accounting principles and therefore the
Horizon LLC was not consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes for
the six months ended February 28, 1995, and Horizon accounted for its
investment in the Horizon LLC by the equity method through such date.  Under
the equity method, the revenues and expenses of the Horizon LLC for the period
in question are excluded from Horizon's revenues and expenses, but Horizon's
share of the Horizon LLC's net income for such period is included in Horizon's
net income as "Equity in earnings of Horizon LLC."  As a result of Horizon's
acquisition of the 27.5% minority interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC effective
March 20, 1995, the Horizon LLC was consolidated with Horizon for accounting
purposes as of March 1, 1995.  Effective September 1, 1995, the Horizon LLC was
dissolved and its operations combined with Horizon.  Therefore, the operating
results of the Company for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, have changed
materially due to this event as compared to the prior fiscal year.

         Net Revenues. (See material change notes above)  Net revenues for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, were $62.4 million, representing an increase
of $33.1 million, or 113.0%, as compared to net revenues of $29.3 million for
the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.

         Salaries and Benefits. (See material change notes above)  Salaries and
benefits expenses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, were $34.7
million, representing an increase of $19.3 million, or 125.3%, as compared to
salaries and benefits expenses of $15.4 million for the prior fiscal year.

         Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, were $1.3 million, representing an
increase of $405,000, or 44.9%, as compared to depreciation and amortization
expenses of $903,000 for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.
$239,000 of this increase results from not consolidating the operation of the
Horizon LLC until March 1, 1995.  The remainder of this increase results from
the depreciation expense of additional equipment purchased for the operation of
its contract management business, offset by a decrease in depreciation expense
related to those items that no longer have a depreciable basis during the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1996.

         Other Operating Expenses (See material change notes above) (Including
Purchased Services and Provision for Bad Debts).  Other operating expenses for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, were $17.5 million, representing an
increase of $8.4 million, or 92.3%, as compared to other operating expenses of
$9.1 million for the prior fiscal year.

         Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net.  Interest income, interest
expense and other income for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996 was
$324,000, as compared to net interest of ($754,000) for fiscal year ended
August 31, 1995.  This change results primarily from a decrease in interest
expense of $1.1 million associated with the reduction in the amount of
principal outstanding on the Company's related party long term debt from $12.1
million at August 31, 1994 to $2.5 million at August 31, 1995.  Outstanding
principal was reduced to $0 on October 3, 1995 and remained $0 at August 31,
1996.

         Income Tax Expense. (See material change notes above)  For the fiscal
year ended August 31, 1995, the Company recorded federal and state income taxes
of $804,000, resulting in a combined tax rate of 16.9%.  For this period, the
Company utilized (with limitation) available net operating loss carryforwards
to reduce both federal and state income tax expense.  For the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1996, the Company recorded federal and state income taxes of
$3,674,000 resulting in a combined tax rate of 39.9%.  For this period, the
benefit from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards was reflected
through a change in deferred taxes rather than a benefit to income tax expense.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 1995 (HISTORICAL) COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED
AUGUST 31, 1994 (HISTORICAL)

         Effective August 1, 1994, the Horizon LLC assumed management
responsibility for all of the contract management business of the Company in
return for all of the economic benefits accruing thereafter from the management
contracts of the Company.  Certain provisions of the limited liability company
agreement of the Horizon LLC which required the consent of MHM for certain
transactions prevented the Company from having the ability to control the
Horizon LLC under generally accepted accounting principles and therefore the
Horizon LLC was not consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes
through February 28, 1995, and Horizon accounted for its investment in the
Horizon LLC by the equity method through such date (including for the month of
August 1994).  Under the equity method, the revenue and expenses of the Horizon
LLC for the period in question are excluded from Horizon's revenues and
expenses, but Horizon's share of the Horizon LLC's net income for such period
is included in Horizon's net income as "Equity in Net Earnings of Horizon LLC."
As a result of Horizon's acquisition of the 27.5% minority interest of MHM in
the Horizon LLC effective March 20, 1995, the Horizon LLC was consolidated with
Horizon for accounting purposes as of March 1, 1995.  This change between the
six months ended February 28, 1995 and the six months ended August 31, 1995 has
been reflected in the operating results of the Company for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1995.  All of these factors should be considered in any prior
period to current period analysis.

         Net Revenues (See material change notes above).  Net revenues for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1995 were $29.3 million, representing a decrease
of $1.0 million, or 3.3%, as compared to net revenues of $30.3 million for the
prior fiscal year.

         Salaries and Benefits (See material change notes above).  Salaries and
benefits expenses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995 were $15.4 million,
representing a decrease of $1.4 million, or 8.3%, as compared to salaries and
benefits expenses of $16.8 million for the prior fiscal year.

         Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995 were $903,000, representing an
increase of $343,000, or 61.3%, as compared to depreciation and amortization
expenses of $560,000 for the prior fiscal year.  $225,000 of this increase is
due to the amortization of additional goodwill of $4.5 million and contract
valuation of $2.4 million resulting from the acquisition of MHM's 27.5%
minority interest in the Horizon LLC.  The remainder of this increase results
from depreciation expense of additional equipment purchased for the operation
of the contract management business.

         Other Operating Expenses (See material change notes above) (Including
Purchased Services and Provision for Bad Debts).  Other operating expenses for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995 were $9.1 million, representing a
decrease of $1.7 million, or 15.7%, as compared to other operating expenses of
$10.8 million for the prior fiscal year.

         Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net.  Interest expense net of
interest and other income for the year ended August 31, 1995 was $754,000,
representing a decrease of $251,000, or 25%, as compared to interest expense
net of interest and other income of $1,005,000 for the prior fiscal year.  This
change results from an increase in interest expense for the year of $69,000
resulting from higher interest rates associated with the Company's related
party debt from an average 8.47% for the year ended August 31, 1994 to an
average of 10.60% for the year ended August 31, 1995.  The increase in the
average percentage rate was offset by the reduction in the principal balance of
related party debt from $12.1 million at August 31, 1994 to $2.5 million at
August 31, 1995.  In addition, interest and other income increased $316,000, or
341.9% as compared to the prior fiscal year.  This increase results from the
inclusion of $187,000 of rental income from the sublease of Mountain Crest
Hospital on July 31, 1994, combined with an increase of interest income
resulting from an increase in cash and cash equivalents between the periods
combined with an increase in the average interest rate of 3.37% for the year
ended August 31, 1994 to 5.29% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.

<PAGE>   29
         Income Tax Expense.  For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994, the
Company was able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to offset
taxable income; however, the Company was subject to alternative minimum tax.
In addition, a federal income tax refund was received due to the filing of a
net operating loss carryback to the fiscal year ended August 31, 1991.  Hence,
the Company has reflected a net tax benefit of ($20,000) for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1994.  For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, the Company
has an estimated annual limitation of available net operating loss
carryforwards of $2,049,000.  This annual limitation is due to the significant
change of ownership resulting from the initial public offering which closed
March 20, 1995.  As a result, the Company has reflected federal and state
income taxes of $804,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.

         Net Earnings From Equity Investment in Horizon LLC.  The net earnings
from the Company's equity investment in the Horizon LLC for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1995, were $1.6 million, representing an increase of $1.2
million, or 329.7%, as compared to $364,000 for the prior fiscal year.  The
increase results from the Horizon LLC existing as an equity investment of the
Company for one month during fiscal year 1994 and six months during fiscal year
1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         On March 13, 1995, the Company's initial public offering of 2,080,000
shares of common stock at an offering price to the public of $10.00 per share
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Of the
2,080,000 shares of common stock offered, 1,321,233 shares were offered by
Horizon and 758,767 shares were offered by a stockholder of the Company.  On
March 20, 1995, the Company completed the initial public offering, issued the
common stock and received net proceeds of $11,324,141 (after deducting
underwriting discounts and IPO costs of $1,888,189).

         On April 11, 1995, the Company sold an additional 78,767 shares of
common stock at the initial offering price to the public of $10.00 per share
pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the
underwriters in the initial public offering.  Net proceeds of $675,387 (after
deducting underwriting discounts and IPO costs of $112,283) were received by
the Company.

         At August 31, 1995, the Company had $2.5 million in long-term debt
payable to OrNda which it paid in full on October 3, 1995.  In addition,
effective September 29, 1995, the Company completed a transaction with Texas
Commerce Bank, N.A. for an $11 million revolving credit facility.  The purpose
of the facility is to provide funds to be used for working capital needs and
future acquisitions.  The facility is for a three year term with extension
provisions.  As of August 31, 1996, the Company had $7.4 million available
under the revolving credit facility.  Under the terms of the facility, the
principal outstanding thereunder to the Company from time to time cannot exceed
the lesser of (i) $11.0 million and (ii) the sum of 80% of the Company's
consolidated eligible accounts receivable, as defined, plus additional amounts
up to $4.0 million based on specified time periods and the Company's debt
coverage ratio, as defined, less certain reserves.  Principal outstanding under
the facility will bear interest at a "Floating Base Rate" and/or the "LIBOR
Rate plus Applicable LIBOR Margin", as selected by the Company in accordance
with the terms of the facility.  See Note 6 to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements.  Accrued interest will be payable monthly during the
primary term of the facility, and quarterly thereafter if the term of the
facility is extended.  Depending upon the Company's debt coverage ratio at
December 15, 1998 principal borrowed under the facility will either be due in
full on such date, or a portion of such principal will be due on such date and
the remainder will be due in eight equal quarterly installments thereafter
ending December 15, 2000.

         The Company is subject to certain covenants under the agreements
governing the credit facility, including prohibitions against (i) incurring
additional debt or liens, except permitted debt (defined to include purchase
money debt of $1.0 million in the aggregate) or specified permitted liens, (ii)
certain material acquisitions, other than permitted acquisitions as defined
(including acquisitions not exceeding $7.0 million per transaction), (iii)
certain mergers, consolidations, or asset dispositions by the Company, or
changes of control of the Company, (iv) certain management vacancies at the
Company, and (v) entering into any lines of business other than that in which
the Company is presently engaged.  In addition, the terms of the facility
require the Company to satisfy certain ongoing financial covenants.  The
facility is secured by all of the capital stock of the subsidiaries of the
Company and substantially all other assets of the Company.

         On December 20, 1995, the Company entered into a lease agreement with
a term of approximately five years for a building to be constructed to the
Company's specifications.  On September 27, 1996, a certificate of occupancy
was issued and the Company occupied the building.  Rental payments commenced
the same date.  In connection with the lease transaction, the Company has
guaranteed a loan of approximately $900,000.  The loan was by a financial
institution to the owner.  The Company also agreed to purchase the leased
building for approximately $4.5 million at the end of the lease term if it is
not sold to a third party, or the Company does not extend its lease.

         The Company believes that its net working capital of $5.5 million at
August 31, 1996, including cash of $7.9 million, and the $7.4 million available
under the revolving credit facility at such date, will be sufficient to cover
all cash requirements over the next twelve months including estimated capital
expenditures of $1.5 million.  The Company generated $8.3 million in net cash
from operations during the year ended August 31, 1996.

   
         The Board of Directors of Horizon Mental Health Management, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Horizon" or the "Company"), approved a three-for-two
stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, pursuant to which one
additional share of Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of Horizon
was issued on January 31, 1997 for every two shares of Common Stock of Horizon
held by stockholders of record at the close of business on January 22, 1997. 
The audited consolidated financial statements of Horizon filed as part of this
Report have been retroactively restated to reflect such stock split/dividend.
    

         Statements contained herein and in various public presentations that
are based on future expectations rather than on historical facts are forward-
looking statements as defined under The Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward
looking statement include but are not limited to demand by general hospitals
for the Company's services, the Company's ability to retain existing management
contracts and to sell additional contracts, changes in reimbursement to general
hospitals by Medicare or other third-party payors for costs of providing mental
health services, changes to other regulatory provisions relating to mental
health services, overall economic conditions and various other risks as
outlined in Securities and Exchange Commission filings of the Company.

INFLATION

         The Company's management contracts generally provide for annual
adjustments in the Company's fees based upon various inflation indices, thus
mitigating the effects of inflation.  During the last three years, inflation
has had little effect on the Company's business.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Horizon Mental Health Management, Inc.

         In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity
(deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Horizon Mental Health Management, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at August 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Horizon Mental Health Management, Inc. ("Horizon or the Company") is a
     contract manager of mental health programs offered by general acute care
     hospitals in the United States.  These management contracts are generally
     for terms ranging from three to five years, the majority of which have
     automatic renewal provisions.  Horizon currently has offices in the
     Dallas, Texas; San Francisco, California; Chicago, Illinois; Tampa,
     Florida; and Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan areas.

     On August 1, 1994 Horizon signed a contract with the Horizon Mental Health
     Management LLC (the "Horizon LLC") to have it manage all of Horizon's then
     existing management contract obligations for a 72.5% interest in the
     Horizon LLC.  Prior to March 20, 1995, the remaining 27.5% interest in the
     Horizon LLC was held by Mental Health Management, Inc. ("MHM") which
     signed a contract with the Horizon LLC to have it manage all of MHM's then
     existing management contract obligations.  Prior to the Company's
     acquisition of the minority interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC, as
     discussed below, certain provisions of the limited liability company
     agreement of the Horizon LLC which required the consent of MHM for certain
     transactions prevented Horizon from having the ability to control the
     Horizon LLC under generally accepted accounting principles, and therefore
     the Horizon LLC was not consolidated with Horizon and Horizon accounted
     for its investment in the Horizon LLC by the equity method through the six
     months ended February 28, 1995.  Prior to formation of the Horizon LLC,
     Horizon's contracts were managed through a wholly- owned subsidiary.  The
     Horizon LLC contract stipulated that MHM, as a member in the Horizon LLC,
     would be allocated the first $1,750,000 of the Horizon LLC income for each
     of the two fiscal years ending August 31, 1995 and 1996.  During the six
     months ended February 28, 1995, MHM was allocated a total of $1,750,000 of
     the Horizon LLC's income while Horizon was allocated $1,567,720 all in the
     second quarter.

     Upon completion of its initial public offering of common stock, Horizon
     became contractually obligated to acquire the minority interest of MHM in
     the Horizon LLC.  March 13, 1995 was the effective date of the initial
     public offering.  The acquisition of the minority interest of MHM was
     effective March 20, 1995.  As such, the Horizon LLC became a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Horizon.  The Horizon LLC has been consolidated with the
     Company effective March 1, 1995 through August 31, 1995.  Effective
     September 1, 1995, the Horizon LLC was dissolved and its operations
     combined with Horizon.  (See Note 4)

     Horizon was formed in July 1989 for the purpose of acquiring all the
     assets of two companies.  One of these companies, known as Horizon Health
     Management Company,  had been formed in 1981 and since that time had been
     engaged in the mental health contract management business.  The other
     company owned a freestanding psychiatric hospital in California.
     Effective March 1, 1990, the assets constituting the contract management
     business and the psychiatric hospital of the two companies were
     transferred to Horizon.

     A subsidiary of Horizon leased and began operating Mountain Crest Hospital
     ("MCH") in December 1990.  Just prior to the Horizon LLC formation,
     Horizon subleased MCH to MHM for a period commencing July 31, 1994 through
     December 31, 2000.  Horizon, which had previously guaranteed the
     obligations under the primary lease, has provided the substitute guaranty
     of MHM to the lessor.  Management believes it has satisfied the conditions
     in the primary lease for release of its guaranty.  The sublease  requires
     monthly rental payments to Horizon of 50% of operating cash flow, as
     defined, subject to a minimum monthly payment of $20,000, not to exceed
     $1,200,000 in the aggregate over the sublease life which expires upon
     expiration of the primary lease on December 31, 2000.  As of August 31,
     1996, Horizon has received $603,686 of the $1,200,000 resulting in future
     receipts of $596,314 to be received on or before February 1, 1999 assuming
     minimum monthly payments of $20,000.  Horizon retained the July 31, 1994
     balances of accounts receivable and the liabilities for

     the MCH operations, the remaining balances of which are included in the
     consolidated financial statements at August 31, 1995 and 1996.  In
     addition, the results of the MCH operations through July 31, 1994 are also
     included in the consolidated financial statements.

     INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     On March 13, 1995, the Company's initial public offering of 3,120,000
     shares of common stock at an offering price to the public of $6.67 per
     share was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Of the 3,120,000 shares of common stock offered, 1,981,849 shares were
     offered by Horizon and 1,138,151 shares were offered by a stockholder of
     the Company.  On March 20, 1995, the Company completed the initial public
     offering, issued the common stock and received net proceeds of $11,324,141
     (after deducting underwriting discounts and IPO costs of $1,888,189).

     On April 11, 1995, the Company sold an additional 118,150 shares of common
     stock at the initial offering price of $6.67 per share pursuant to the
     exercise of the over allotment option granted to the underwriters in the
     initial public offering.  Net proceeds of $675,387 (after deducting
     underwriting discounts and IPO costs of $112,283) were received by the
     Company.

     PURCHASE OF MINORITY INTEREST

     On March 20, 1995, $9,683,467 of the $11,324,141 in net proceeds to the
     Company from its initial public offering were used to purchase MHM's
     minority interest in the Horizon LLC.  The purchase transaction eliminated
     MHM's equity interest in the Horizon LLC ($2,794,715) and recognized an
     increase in intangible assets based upon the value of the Horizon LLC
     management contracts ($2,355,000).  The remaining purchase price was
     recorded as goodwill ($4,533,752).  The increase in contract value will be
     amortized over seven years and the goodwill over forty years.  As a result
     of this transaction, the Horizon LLC was consolidated with the Company
     effective March 1, 1995.  Effective September 1, 1995, the Horizon LLC was
     dissolved and its operations combined with Horizon.  (See Note 4)
                                                       
2.   SUBLEASE OF MOUNTAIN CREST HOSPITAL OPERATIONS

     As discussed in Note 1, Horizon subleased the operations of MCH to MHM
     effective July 31, 1994.  The operating results of MCH for the eleven
     months ended July 31, 1994 have been consolidated with the operating
     results of Horizon for the year ended August 31, 1994.  The net revenues
     and operating income of MCH as of the eleven months ended July 31, 1994
     which are included in the consolidated financial statements are:

3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:  Cash and short-term investments include
     securities with original maturities of three months or less when
     purchased.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
     Depreciation expense is recorded on the straight-line basis over the
     assets' estimated useful lives.  The useful life of furniture and fixtures
     and computer equipment are estimated to be five years and three years,
     respectively.  Routine maintenance and repair items are charged to current
     operations.

     SALE OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE OPTIONS: During the years ended August 31, 1995
     and 1994, Horizon issued nonstatutory stock options to purchase 168,000
     and 406,237 shares of common stock, respectively - see Note 7.  Certain of
     these options required payment of $0.67 per option by the recipient prior
     to issuance of the option.  Horizon recognized these payments as an
     addition to Additional Paid-in Capital.

   
     MANAGEMENT FEE REVENUE:  Management fee revenue is reported at the
     estimated net realizable amounts from contracted hospitals for contract    
     management services rendered.  Adjustments are accrued on an estimated
     basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in
     future periods as final settlement is determined.  Management fee revenue  
     is based on a per diem calculation using patients per day, a fixed fee,
     admissions, discharges, direct expenses, or any combination of the
     preceding depending on a specific contact.
    
     Some management contracts include a clause which states that Horizon will
     indemnify the hospital for any third- party payor denials, including
     Medicare.  At the time the charges are denied, an allowance for 100% of
     the disputed amount is recorded by Horizon.  Management believes it has
     adequately provided for any potential adjustments that may result from
     final settlement of these denials.


     At August 31, 1996, Horizon had management contracts with 32 hospitals
     directly or indirectly owned by Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation
     ("Columbia/HCA") of which, 27 had programs in operation. These 27
     contracts accounted for 23.0% of the net revenues for the year ended
     August 31, 1996.  In the aggregate, including terminated contracts,
     revenues generated by hospitals directly or indirectly owned by
     Columbia/HCA accounted for 26.1% of the net revenues for the year ended
     August 31, 1996.

     The customers of Horizon are not concentrated in any specific geographic
     region, but are concentrated in the health care industry.  Horizon
     generally does not require collateral to support outstanding accounts
     receivable.
   
     In fiscal year 1994, revenues include patient revenues related to
     Mountain Crest Hospital ("MCH") which are recorded on an accrual basis at
     the established rates. Provisions recognizing contractual adjustments and
     other adjustments are recorded on an accrual basis and deducted from gross
     revenue to determine net patient service revenue. Horizon subleased MCH to
     Mental Health Management, Inc. commencing July 31, 1994 through    
     December 31, 2000. (see note 2)
    

     HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM REIMBURSEMENT:  Services were provided
     under Horizon's management to patients who are eligible for coverage under
     Title XVIII (Medicare) Health Insurance Programs. Amounts received are
     generally less than the standard billing rates of the hospital and
     receivables are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at the
     estimated amount to be reimbursed.

     Amounts due to/from Health Insurance Programs under Medicare are subject
     to final determination through an audit by a fiscal intermediary.  Any
     difference between the final determination and estimated amounts accrued
     is accounted for as an adjustment to patient service revenue in the year
     of final determination.  Management believes it has adequately provided
     for any potential adjustments resulting from an audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: The Company has adopted Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
     Long-lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").  Under SFAS
     121, the Company recognizes impairment losses on property and equipment
     whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
     amount of long-lived assets, on an individual property basis, may not be
     recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows.  Such losses are
     determined by comparing the sum of the expected future discounted net cash
     flows to the carrying amount of the asset.  Impairment losses are
     recognized in operating income as they are determined.  As of August 31,
     1996, no impairment losses have been incurred.

     INCOME TAXES:  Horizon has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."   SFAS 109
     generally requires an asset and liability approach and requires
     recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from
     differing book and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  It requires that
     deferred tax assets and liabilities be determined using the tax rate
     expected to apply to taxable income in  the periods  in  which  the
     deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.
     Under this method, future financial results will be impacted by the effect
     of changes in income tax rates on cumulative deferred income tax balances.

     NET INCOME PER SHARE:  Net income per common share is calculated using the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
     during the respective periods.  Dilutive common equivalents consist of
     stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.  Pursuant to the
     requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, common shares and
     common equivalent shares issued at prices below the public offering price
     during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of the initial
     filing of the Registration Statement have been included in the calculation
     of common shares and common equivalent shares, using the treasury stock
     method, as if they were outstanding for all periods presented.  All shares
     and per share data, except par value per share, have been retroactively
     adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split of the Company's common stock
     (see Note 10).

     USE OF ESTIMATES: The Company has made a number of estimates and
     assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
     statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
    

4.   INVESTMENT IN HORIZON LLC

     Certain provisions of the limited liability company agreement of the
     Horizon LLC which required the consent of MHM for certain transactions
     prevented the Company from having the ability to control the Horizon LLC
     under generally accepted accounting principles and therefore the Horizon
     LLC was not consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes for the
     six months ended February 28, 1995.  As a result of Horizon's March 20,
     1995 acquisition of the minority interest of MHM in the Horizon LLC, the
     Horizon LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon and has been
     consolidated with the Company effective March 1, 1995.

     As of February 28, 1995, Horizon recognized its capital contributions and
     its share of net earnings of the Horizon LLC as an increase in its
     investment and recognized Horizon LLC distributions as a decrease in its
     investment.  Horizon capital contributions totaled $3,420,000 through
     February 28, 1995.  Distributions received by the Company from the Horizon
     LLC totaled $1,000,000 through February 28, 1995.  The Company's share of
     the Horizon LLC's net earnings was $1,567,720 for the six months ended
     February 28, 1995.  The Horizon LLC contract stipulates that MHM is
     allocated the first $1,750,000 of Horizon LLC net earnings in the fiscal
     year ending August 31, 1995.  On September 1, 1995, the Horizon LLC was
     dissolved and its operations combined with Horizon.

5.   INVESTMENT IN PPS
   
     On July 31, 1996, Horizon acquired eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding
     common stock of Florida Professional Psychological Services, Inc., also
     known as Professional Psychological Services, Inc. ("PPS"), and PPS has
     been consolidated with Horizon as of August 1, 1996.  Horizon accounted
     for the acquisition of PPS by the purchase method as required by generally
     accepted accounting principles.  Based in Clearwater, Florida, PPS
     specializes in full risk, capitated managed behavioral health programs and
     employee assistance programs.  The purchase price is based primarily on a
     6.25 multiple of the 1996 pre-tax income of PPS to be determined in the
     first quarter of 1997.  Horizon currently estimates the purchase price
     will be approximately $1,800,000 of which $1,225,000 was paid on July 31,
     1996.  The remaining $575,00 of the purchase price has been accrued by
     Horizon.  The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the PPS' net
     assets by $1,774,575 which is recorded as goodwill.  Assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed totaled $541,000 and $515,000, respectively.  In
     addition, Horizon also obtained an option to acquire the remaining
     twenty percent (20%) of the  outstanding PPS common stock at a future
     date.  The sellers, constituting all the

     shareholders of PPS, also obtained the right to put to Horizon such shares
     on certain dates.  The option and put prices for the remaining PPS shares
     are based on a multiple of the pre-tax income of PPS in future years.

     The following presents the revenue of PPS for fiscal years 1995 and 1996.
     PPS's effect on Horizon's net income and earnings per share has been

     Horizon believes the fair market value of the Promissory Note was not in
     excess of the book value at August 31, 1995.  On October 3, 1995, the
     Company paid OrNda $2,524,298 for the outstanding balance of the note plus
     accrued interest.

     Effective September 29, 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement
     with Texas Commerce Bank (TCB) for a revolving line of credit with maximum
     advance commitment of $11,000,000.  On December 12, 1995, the Company paid
     TCB the outstanding balance of $1,300,000 originally advanced to the
     Company during the quarter ended November 30, 1995, plus accrued interest.
     As of August 31, 1996, the Company has borrowed $0 against the available
     line of credit and has $7.4 million available for advances under the
     revolving credit facility.

     The line of credit will bear interest at (1) the lesser of the Floating
     Base Rate or the maximum nonusurious interest rate permitted by law and/or
     (2) the lesser of the LIBOR Rate plus LIBOR Margin or the maximum
     nonusurious interest rate permitted by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Floating Base Rate means the greater of (i) TCB's prime rate of interest
     or (ii) the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds
     transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by
     federal funds brokers plus one-half of one percent (.5%).  LIBOR Rate
     means the quotient of (i) the Interbank Offered Rate divided by (ii) the
     remainder of 1.0 minus the LIBOR reserve requirement.  LIBOR Margin is
     1.25% to 1.75% depending on the debt coverage ratio.

     The original maturity date of this line of credit is December 15, 1998;
     however, it may be extended to December 15, 2000 if certain debt coverage
     ratios are met.

   
7.   STOCK OPTIONS

     In accordance with Horizon's 1989 and 1995 Stock Option Plans, as amended,
     1,931,843 shares of common stock have been reserved for grant to key
     employees.  Of these, 1,400,842 options, 1,411,268 options, and 1,461,327
     options were issued and outstanding at August 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996,
     respectively.  During fiscal 1994 and 1995, nonstatutory stock options to
     purchase 406,237, and 168,000 shares of common stock were granted with an
     exercise price of $3.61 or $4.00, and $6.6667, $7.4167 or $8.9167 per
     share, respectively.  On September 1, 1995, the Company granted an
     additional 127,500 options under the 1995 Stock Option Plan at $9.75 per
     share subject to shareholder approval which was received on January 11,
     1996. An additional 128,250 shares with an exercise price of $14.16667
     were granted on August 15, 1996.  Management believes the exercise prices
     of the options approximated or exceeded the market value of the common
     stock at the date of grant.  As such, no expense is recognized in the
     accompanying statements of income as a result of such issuance.  The
     options are generally exercisable in cumulative installments over a
     four-year period and terminate 10 years from the date of grant.  No
     options were canceled or expired during fiscal 1994.  However, during
     fiscal 1995 and 1996, 39,000 and 11,250 options granted to former officers
     were canceled respectively.  During fiscal 1995, vested options of 101,250
     and 17,325 have been exercised by certain officers at exercise prices of
     $0.83333 and $2.14167, respectively.  During fiscal 1996, vested options
     of 42,000 at $0.50, and 38,816 at $0.83333 and 53,625 at $1.00 have been
     exercised by certain key employees.

     At August 31, 1996 there were 1,931,843 shares reserved, of which 256,015
     shares were issued and exercised, 1,461,327 shares were issued and
     unexercised and 214,500 shares remain unissued.  Of the 1,461,327 shares
     issued and unexercised, 520,452 shares were exercisable.

     On April 28, 1995 the board of directors created a stock option plan for
     outside directors owning less than 5% of the stock of the Company.
     150,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under this plan.
     This plan has been amended and restated to also provide for 3,000 option
     grants to each eligible director each time he is re- elected to the board
     after having served as a director for at least one year since his initial
     grant under the plan.

     At August 31, 1996 there were 150,000 shares reserved, of which no shares
     were issued and exercised, 60,000 shares were issued and unexercised and
     90,000 shares remain unissued.  Of the 60,000 shares issued and
     unexercised, 12,000 shares were exercisable.

     restrictions.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement
     No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  FASB statement No. 123
     contains recognition provisions and mandatory disclosure provisions. 
     Companies electing to adopt the recognition provisions would be required
     to measure and recognize compensation cost based on a fair value based
     method of accounting.  The disclosure provisions apply to all companies
     regardless of the method used to account for stock compensation 
     arrangements and must be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December
     15, 1995.  Horizon will continue to measure and recognize compensation 
     cost based on the accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
     for Stock Issued to Employees", and will adopt the disclosure provisions 
     of FASB statement No. 123 during fiscal year 1997.

      will expire during 2008 if unused prior to that date.

      expenses for professional and general liability to vary materially from
      amounts provided.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      Horizon is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of
      business, including matters involving professional liability.  It is the
      opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of such litigation
      would not be in excess of any reserves or have a material adverse effect
      on Horizon's financial position or results of operations.

10.   COMMON STOCK

      On March 30, 1994, Horizon effected a two for one common stock split,
      increasing the number of authorized common shares from 2,000,000 to
      4,000,000.  The par value of such stock remained at $0.01 per share,
      thereby causing $10,410 originally recorded as additional paid-in capital
      to be reclassified as common stock.  Upon effecting the stock split, the
      stock options and their related exercise prices were doubled and halved,
      respectively.

      On February 1, 1995, Horizon increased the number of its authorized
      common shares to 10,000,000.

11.   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

      The following unaudited pro forma information for the years ended August

      The net income in the quarters ended November 30, 1994 and February 28,
      1995, included equity in net earnings of the Horizon LLC of $0 and
      $1,567,720, respectively.  No equity earnings from Horizon LLC were
      recorded in the quarter ended November 30, 1994, as all earnings were
      contractually allocated to MHM.  On March 20, 1995, Horizon acquired
      MHM's minority interest in the Horizon, LLC.  Accordingly, the Horizon
      LLC has been consolidated with the Company effective March 1, 1995 as a
      wholly-owned subsidiary.

13.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On January 31, 1997, Horizon effected a three-for-two stock split.  The
      par value of such common stock remained at $0.01, thereby causing $18,253
      originally recorded as additional paid-in capital to be reclassified as
      common stock.  Upon effecting the stock split, the stock options and
      their related exercise prices were increased by 50% and decreased by
      33.33%, respectively.  These consolidated financial statements have been
      restated to present the effects of this stock split.

      In February 1997, Horizon increased the number of its authorized common
      shares from 10,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares.

      Effective March 15, 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
      capital stock of Geriatric Medical Care, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
      ("Geriatric"), from the stockholders of Geriatric.  Geriatric is a
      contract manager of mental health services for acute care hospitals.
      Geriatric had total revenues of approximately $5.7 million in 1996.  The
      cash purchase price of approximately $4.3 million, which was paid at
      closing from existing cash of the Company, included retiring essentially
      all of Geriatric's outstanding debt.  On April 16, 1997, the Company paid
      an additional $270,000 related to this purchase.

   
      Effective March 15, 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
      capital stock of Clay Care, Inc., a Texas corporation ("CCI"). CCI is a 
      contract manager of mental health services for acute care hospitals.  CCI
      had total revenues of approximately $1.3 million in 1996.  The $1,000,000
      cash purchase price was determined based on negotiations between the
      seller and the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

14.   UNAUDITED SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   
      On April 25, 1997 Horizon signed a definitive agreement to acquire
      privately held Specialty Healthcare Management, Inc. (Specialty) of
      Englewood, Colorado.  The definitive agreement contemplates a transaction
      to be accounted for as a pooling of interests in which Specialty would 
      become a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon.
    
        
      Specialty is a contract manager of mental health, physical rehabilitation
      and chemical dependency treatment programs for general acute care
      hospitals and other health care entities.  For the year ended December
      31, 1996, Specialty reported revenues of $33.8 million and net income of
      $1.2 million.
        
      The transaction is subject to the approval of Horizon's stockholders at a
      special stockholders meeting which is expected to be held in late July  
      1997.

(1)  As a result of Horizon's acquistion of the 27.5% minority interest of MHM 
     in the Horizon LLC effective March 20, 1995, the Horizon LLC was 
     consolidated with Horizon for accounting purposes as of March 1, 1995. 
     Amounts represent bad debt expenses of the Horizon LLC which were 
     accounted for as "Equity in Net Earnings of Horizon LLC" through February 
     28, 1995.

(2)  Adjustment reflects reserves in which Horizon is aware that specific
     hospitals have experienced treatment day denials and to which a
     corresponding accounts receivable balance does not exist.  These
     amounts are accured as a contingent liability.
