                        ACCUHEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of
Accuhealth,  Inc.  and its  subsidiaries,  all of which  are  wholly-owned  (the
"Company").   Significant  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and principally  with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of  Regulation  S-X. In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the periods reported have been included.  Operating  results for
the  six-month  period ended  September  30, 1997 may not be  indicative  of the
results for the full fiscal year.

These financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1997 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The balance sheet at March 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited  financial
statements at that date.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts  receivable  are  principally  due from third party  payers,  primarily
governmental  agencies  (Medicare and Medicaid),  managed care organizations and
private insurance companies.

INVENTORIES

Inventories  consist  of  over-the-counter  and  prescription  drugs,   infusion
products  and  supplies,  and home health care  equipment  and  supplies and are
priced at the lower of cost or market  using the  first-in,  first-out  ("FIFO")
method.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

   
For the three months and nine months ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,  primary
income per share has been  calculated  by dividing the net income  applicable to
common  stock  by  the  weighted  average  of  common  stock  and  common  stock
equivalents  outstanding  during  the  period.  Dividends  attributable  to  the
redeemable  preferred  stock were $40,500,  and $40,500,  respectively,  for the
three  months  ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996 and  $121,500,  and  $121,500,
respectively,  for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996. Net income
(loss) applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996,  respectively,  were  $26,863  and  ($59,290)  and  $218,569  and
($118,867) for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.
On a fully diluted basis, both the net income (loss) and shares outstanding,  if
applicable, are adjusted to assume the conversion of convertible preferred stock
from the date of issue and for the  incremental  option shares for fully diluted
purposes, if applicable (See Note 4).
    

INCOME TAXES

The Company files consolidated Federal, combined New York State and combined New
York City income tax returns.  The  Company's  method of  accounting  for income
taxes is the liability method required by FASB Statement No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes."

MAJOR CUSTOMER

The  Company's  revenues  from  one  customer  accounted  for 28% and 30% of the
Company's  net sales for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,
respectively,  and 30% and 26% for the nine months  ended  December 31, 1997 and
1996,   respectively.   At  December  31,  1997,   this   customer   represented
approximately 10% of the Company's gross receivables.

NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

NOTES PAYABLE - OTHER

The Company's notes payable outstanding are as follows:

(A)      The  Company  converted a portion of its  account  payable  into a note
         payable  to a  trade  creditor  in  the  principal  amount  aggregating
         $262,035. This note is payable in monthly installments of approximately
         $21,000 plus interest at 10.5% per annum.  The  outstanding  balance at
         December 31, 1997 was $262,035.

(B)      The Company  converted  several of its  capital  leases into notes to a
         trade creditor in the principal  amounts  aggregating  $310,055.  These
         notes are payable in monthly  installments  ranging from  approximately
         $2,000 to $8,000 with  interest  rates  ranging  from 9% to 14.5%.  The
         outstanding balance at December 31, 1997 was $191,650.

(C)      In February 1997, the Company reached a settlement with the City of New
         York relating to an audit of General  Corporation  and Commercial  Rent
         taxes  for  the  years  1990  through 1992.  In  accordance  with  this
         settlement agreement, the outstanding principal balance at December 31,
         1997 of $60,614 is payable  in  monthly  installments  of $1,976  which
         includes  interest at 10% per annum. A final balloon payment of $18,146
         is due on March 1, 2000.

NOTES PAYABLE - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

In April 1994,  the Company  entered  into a Loan and  Security  Agreement  (the
"Agreement") with Rosenthal and Rosenthal ("Rosenthal") to borrow, under certain
conditions and terms, up to $2,500,000 at an interest rate of prime plus 4-7/8%.
Borrowings  under the  Agreement  are  collateralized  by certain  assets of the
Company,  including accounts receivables,  inventories,  equipment and fixtures.
The Company's  ability to use this revolving  credit  facility is dependent upon
the level of its eligible receivables, as defined in the Agreement. In addition,
the  Company  granted  Rosenthal  warrants  to  purchase  70,000  shares  of the
Company's common stock.

   
Effective  February  1, 1996,  the Company  and  Rosenthal  amended the Loan and
Security  Agreement  ("Amendment No. 1)". Amendment No. 1 extended the Agreement
through  April 28,  1997 and  allowed  the  Company  to  borrow,  under  certain
conditions and terms up to $3,500,000 (based on eligible accounts receivable, as
defined) at an interest rate of prime plus 3-7/8%.  Effective  February 1, 1997,
the Company and Rosenthal  amended the Loan and Security  Agreement  ("Amendment
No. 2") to extend the  Agreement  through  April 1, 1998 and reduce the interest
rate to prime (8 1/2% at March 31, 1997) plus 2 7/8%.  In addition,  the Company
granted  Rosenthal  warrants  to  purchase an  additional  30,000  shares of the
Company's common stock (see Note 11). Commencing April 28, 1996, the Company was
required to pay a facility fee of $35,000 per annum,  which  Amendment No. 2 has
increased to $40,000 per annum.
    

Amendment  No. 2 also  provided a $500,000 term loan to the Company due on April
1, 1998 with interest payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 5%.

The revolving  credit  facility bears  interest at variable  market rates and as
such the carrying value approximates its fair value.

CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Company leases its principal office and warehouse  facility (the "Facility")
and certain  equipment,  furniture and fixtures,  rental equipment and leasehold
improvements under capital lease agreements which extend through April 2000.

CAPITAL LEASE FACILITY

The Facility was obtained  under a ten-year lease (the "Lease  Agreement")  with
the New York City Industrial  Development  Agency (the "Agency") as lessor.  The
Agency issued to National  Westminster  Bank,  U.S.A.  (now "Fleet")  $1,072,500
principal amount of its Industrial  Development  Bonds (the "Bonds") pursuant to
an Indenture of Mortgage and  Agreement  dated April 1, 1989 (the  "Indenture"),
which  created a lien on the  Facility.  The Company also paid $227,500 in order
for the Agency to purchase  the  warehouse.  This  amount and other  acquisition
costs are capitalized as land and building under capital lease.

At the end of the term of the lease,  the Company may  purchase the Facility for
one dollar so long as all terms and  conditions  of the lease have been met. The
Lease Agreement and Guaranty  Agreement require the Company and its subsidiaries
to comply with certain covenants,  including but not limited to, maximum debt to
worth ratio,  maximum  allowable  losses and debt service  coverage  ratio.  The
Company's  non-compliance  with such covenants was waived by Fleet through April
1, 1998 Since the Company has not  requested nor received from Fleet a waiver of
non-compliance  with such  covenants  occurring  after  April 1, 1998 the entire
balance outstanding has been classified as current on the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1997.

In  lieu  of  rent,  the  Company  pays  principal  on the  Bonds  in  quarterly
installments  of $17,875,  plus  interest at the rate of prime plus 1%. On April
28, 1994,  in  conjunction  with the  Rosenthal  financing,  the Company made an
additional  principal  payment of $143,000.  A final balloon payment of $232,375
plus  interest  thereon  is  due  on  April  1,  1999.  Each  of  the  Company's
wholly-owned  subsidiaries  has guaranteed the Company's  obligations  under the
lease.  The Lease Agreement and Guaranty  Agreement also restrict the payment of
cash  dividends in any one year to an aggregate  amount not to exceed 25% of the
Company's net income for the immediately preceding year.

OTHER CAPITAL LEASES

The Company  leases durable  medical  equipment  under capital lease  agreements
which extend through March 31, 2000.

NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES

   
In June 1995,  a former  employee  commenced  an action  against the Company and
certain of its former and current  officers,  directors  and  shareholders.  The
action alleges that the Company breached plaintiff's  employment  agreement.  On
June 18, 1996 the Court granted  defendants' motion  effectively  dismissing the
Complaint  as to the  Company's  current  and  former  officers,  directors  and
shareholders and leaving  plaintiff's claim for breach of contract and violation
of New York's Labor Law solely  against the Company.  The Company and  plaintiff
have agreed to submit the matter to  arbitration,  which is scheduled  for March
1988.

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

This Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of the Company and related notes
included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

   
Net  sales  increased  approximately  $255,000  or 6% from the  comparable  1996
quarter to $4.5  million for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1997.  The
increase was the result of increases of approximately  $128,000,  74,000, 29,000
and $24,000 in the Company's infusion services revenues,  institutional pharmacy
business, oral medication and durable medical equipment revenues.
    

Gross  profit  for the  three  months  ended  December  31,  1997  and  1996 was
approximately $1.96 and $1.76 million, respectively,  representing approximately
44% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 42%
for the comparable prior year. Gross profit increased primarily due to increased
margins in our institutional pharmacy and infusion services businesses.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses ("SG&A") were approximately $1.78
and  $1.58  million  or  approximately  40.0% and 37% of net sales for the three
months  ended  December  31,  1997 and  1996,  respectively.  The  increase  was
primarily due to increases of approximately  $180,000 in pharmacy  marketing and
other salaries, and $27,000 in delivery, rent and other expenses.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

Net sales for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997  increased  approximately
$1,055,000 or 9% from the comparable 1996 period to $13.4 million.  The increase
was the result of an  increase of  approximately  $871,000  and  $338,000 in the
Company's  institutional  pharmacy business and oral medical revenue,  offset by
decreases  in the  Company's  infusion  service  revenues  and  durable  medical
equipment revenues of approximately $128,000 and $26,000.

Gross  profit  for the  nine  months  ended  December  31,  1997  and  1996  was
approximately $5.9 and $5.1 million,  respectively,  representing  approximately
44% of net sales for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 as compared to 42%
for the nine months ended  December 31, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to
increased   margins  in  our   institutional   pharmacy  and  infusion  services
businesses.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses ("SG&A") were approximately $5.2
and $4.6 million or  approximately  39% and 38% of net sales for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The increase was primarily due
to increases of approximately  $341,000 in pharmacy customer service,  marketing
and other salaries and $233,000 in delivery, rent and other expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended
December  31, 1997 was  $116,112.  As of December  31,  1997,  the Company had a
working capital deficiency of $700,940 as compared to working capital of $63,332
at March 31,  1997.  As  described in Note 2 of the  financial  statements,  the
entire  capital lease  obligation  for the Company's  capital lease  facility of
$321,750 has been  classified as a current  liability at December 31, 1997.  The
Company's  working capital  deficiency at December 31, 1997 would be $379,190 if
the capital lease were not classified as a current liability on the
