PART  I

ITEM  1. BUSINESS

First Mutual, Inc. (Formerly Mutual Enterprises, Incorporated) ("Registrant" or
"Company") was organized under Delaware Law in March, 1968 and conducts its
business through its only active operating and wholly owned subsidiary.

(a)  ABC MOBILE SYSTEMS, INC.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary ABC Mobile Systems, Inc., the Company
operated as a franchiser of a wholesale mobile automobile brake business,
offering complete automotive brake repair service and replacement parts sales to
customers at the customer's place of business.  However, because of competitive
and economic reasons including among others the closures of repair facilities at
a significant number of gas stations nationally and the significant increase in
promotion speciality brake repair service alternatives of the motoring public,
the company ceased selling new franchises in 1986.  As of September 30, 1996 no
franchises remain operational and the company is inactive.

(b)  COMMUNITY GROUP, INC.

The Community Group, Inc. ("Community Group"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was
organized under Massachusetts law in 1972, and provides habilitative and
training services for developmentally disabled adults through the operation of
residential facilities located in Wakefield, Lynn, Lowell, Melrose and Weymouth
and an 8,000 square foot Training Center in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The
Company seeks to develop within each client a sense of personal dignity,
awareness of and respect for human rights, the ability to adjust in social
situations with peers and others and to help each in attaining the highest
possible degree of independence. The support services currently available within
the program comprise psychological consultation and testing, counselling, speech
therapy and tutoring. Medical services include on-call relationships with local
physicians, neurologists, audiologists, ophthalmologists, psychiatrists and
physical therapists.

The program of the Community Group meets the requirements of and has the
approval of the following agencies: Mass. Department of Social Services, Mass.
Department of Mental Retardation, Mass. Office for Children, Mass. Department of
Special Education. Annual contracts with the approved agencies constituted 100%
of the revenues in fiscal year 1996. Contracts are generally issued as clients
are accepted by the Company and funding is made by the respective agency.

Facilities operated by Community Group must comply with the licensing
requirements of the Department of Social Services and Mental Retardation and
meet the requirements of municipal building codes, health codes and local fire
codes. In granting and renewing a facility's license, a health agency considers,
among other things, the physical buildings and equipment, the qualifications of
the administrative, direct care and other support staff, the quality of care,
training and service and the continuing compliance of such facility with the
laws and regulations applicable to its operations.

In general, the terms of the contracts for Community Group, Inc. are to provide
residential and employment training services for contracted clients. Contracts
run for one year with four options or renewal years before they come up for
competitive bidding. Revenues are received on a per day rate, payable bi-
monthly.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Contracts representing 76% of Community Group's revenue are due to be rebid in
fiscal year 1999. 13% are due to be rebid in fiscal year 2000 and the remaining
11% are due to be rebid in fiscal year 2002.

If Community Group did not receive a renewal of any one of its contracts, it
would be difficult if not impossible for the company to survive, as its central
office and administrative overhead requirements which are allocated prorata
among all operations would not be able to be adequately reduced to absorb the
shortfall in revenues and cash flow which a non-renewal would cause.

(c)  BWS INTERNATIONAL, LTD.

BWS Group, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with no operations of
its own, was organized under Massachusetts law February 22, 1983 to enter into
the business of marketing goods and services in the luxury market of
discriminating buyers and in particular as a holding company through its wholly
owned subsidiaries, BWS International, Inc. ( a Delaware Corporation), BSDJ,
Inc. ( Texas Corporation) and BSNJ, Inc. ( a New Jersey Corporation) to operate
women's speciality clothing retail stores in Boston, MA, Dallas, TX, and Short
Hills, NJ. Due to poor sales all stores were closed between 1988 and March 1991
 .The Dallas Corporation was dissolved  in July, 1987 and the Boston and New
Jersey Corporations remain inactive.

Registrant employed 85 persons on September 30, 1996, all of whom were employed
by the Community Group, Inc.

WORKING CAPITAL:

The registrant has a working capital problem. Working capital shortfalls in the
past have been funded principally through loans from an officer/shareholder.

REVENUES:
The Department of Mental Retardation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
accounted for 100% and  92% of the revenue of the Health Care Service in 1996
and 1995 respectively. In 1994 it accounted for 92%.



COMPETITIVE CONDITION:
1.  The Community Group, Inc.:
    --------------------------
In accordance with governmental regulations, every five years, all health
service contracts including those of Community Group are newly offered to all
interested parties for competitive bidding. The Company must therefore compete
in price, service, and quality on each of its contracts. Contracts representing
76% percent of Community Group's revenue are due to be rebid in fiscal year
1999. 13% are due to be rebid in fiscal 2000 and the remaining 11% are due to be
rebid in fiscal 2002. Although since its inception in 1972, Community Group has
without interruption or exception been granted consecutive contracts, the loss
of any one contract would materially, negatively effect the existence and
viability of the company making it difficult if not impossible to survive, as
all central office overhead and costs are allocated among all its programs pro-
rata and would not be able to be adequately reduced.

2. ABC Mobile Brake:
ABC Mobile Brake no longer sells franchises or is actively operational.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company subleases executive offices of approximately 1,500 square feet at
120 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116. The office is subleased by Community
Group with no guaranty by the registrant. Rental payment is made by way of
office support and receptionist duties for a total of $25,500 per year.

In addition, a subsidiary of the Registrant, (Community Group), leases a
residence at 40 Avon Street, Wakefield, MA  01880 as a tenant at will at the
rental of $2,000 per month. The residence was purchased for use by Community
Group, Inc. in 1978 by David B. Slater, the chairman of the Registrant and his
wife at a time when Community Group was evicted from other residential
facilities because of  actions by its developmentally disabled residents, and
was experiencing difficulty in securing other suitable facilities. The rental
being paid by Community Group is believed to be its fair market value and is
comparable to the rental being paid by Community Group for other leased
residences of lesser market value. The lease contains provision for payment by
the subsidiary of real estate taxes and insurance.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date of this report the Company is aware of the following legal
proceedings:

A suit against ABC Mobile Systems in the Superior Court of the State of
California filed November 22, 1985, wherein the said corporation is being sued
as one of approximately 20 defendants in an action by Edna Smith, et al., on
behalf of the surviving members of the family of Francis L. Smith for wrongful
death, strict liability, negligence, fraud and conspiracy alleging the plaintiff
died due to a fatal exposure to asbestos, part of which exposure was sustained
while an employee of an automobile service station which installed asbestos
brake linings on customers' cars, which linings were sold by ABC Mobile Systems
to its franchisee who on at least one occasion resold same to the service
station. The plaintiff seeks a sum in excess of $15,000, legal costs and
damages. The Company is unable to express an opinion as to the outcome of this
case but is  not a party to the suit.

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

In fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 consolidated revenues were $3,181,963
resulting in income from operations of $231,943 and net income of $155,381.

Community Group, Inc. for fiscal 1996 had operating income of $200,832  before
interest expense of $85,090 resulting in net income of $115,742.  During fiscal
year 1996 Community Group continued implementing a new type of program called
supported living for some of its clients. Under the concept of supported living,
clients lead a more independent, less supervised lifestyle.

During fiscal 1994 the Company had other income of $291,491 resulting from a
final settlement with its franchisers and apparel vendors regarding litigation
initiated by First Mutual regarding unfair practices.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
Other income of $163,000 was also reported during fiscal 1994 from two limited
partnerships which since ceased operation, this income was a noncash forgiveness
of debt.

Cash flows in fiscal 1996 were relatively stable but in prior years the company
experienced an extremely large cash shortage. That shortage has been met by:

(1)  Cash advances to the company and/or its subsidiaries due on demand but
presently being amortized on a ten year basis, by David B. Slater, Chairman of
the Company, and his wife Barbara W. Slater and,

(2)  Restructured bank financing totalling $680,000, payable in 10 years with
monthly installments based on a twenty year amortization schedule. David and
Barbara Slater personally have guaranteed  $227,000 of this loan.

In return for David and Barbara Slater's personal guarantee of $227,000 of the
Company's bank loan and their cash advances to the Company, the Company has
granted each of them a 10 year option on 450,000 shares of its authorized but
not issued shares, at $.10 per share. In addition, in return for forgiving
$243,743 of debt due from BSDJ, Inc. and BSNJ, Inc. the Company has granted
David and Barbara Slater each a ten year option on 304,679 shares of its
authorized, but not issued shares at $.10 per share. If all these options are
ever exercised for all 1,509,358 shares represented thereby, the total shares
owned by David Slater and his family will increase from the current 455,450
shares representing 53.8% of the currently outstanding shares of the Company to
a total of 1,964,808 shares representing 83.4% of what would then be the
outstanding shares of the Company. In view of the above debt repayment
requirements the Registrant will generate no surplus cash and/or liquidity.

In the future, management seeks to cut costs in Community Group, Inc., expand
into new similar programs and negotiate future increases in rates under state
contracts.

ABC Mobile Brake has essentially ceased operations.

BWS Group, Inc. has discontinued all retail operations permanently.

First Mutual, Inc. continues to seek business opportunities it can participate
in without capital requirement, utilizing its franchising, management and health
services expertise.

CASH FLOWS:

To cover cash flow needs in past years the Company was able to borrow adequate
funds from officers and stockholders.

In the past, cash flow for Community Group has always been negative from May
through July of any fiscal year. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts funds
programs by providing most funds in the first ten months of each fiscal year.
Thus, for two months, limited cash funding is received. As of September 30,
1996, the balance owed by the registrant to David and Barbara Slater and a
controlled company totaled $279,044.  David and Barbara Slater have also
guaranteed  $227,000 of an additional $680,000 bank loan to The Company.

There are no unused sources of liquidity. Loans from officers and stockholders
are demand notes with interest at 2% higher than bank debt.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1995


NATURE OF BUSINESS AND STATUS OF OPERATIONS

First Mutual, Inc. formerly Mutual Enterprises Incorporated (Mutual), currently
has only one operating subsidiary, Community Group, Inc., which was organized in
Massachusetts in 1972 and provides rehabilitation and residential services for
mentally retarded adults. The company operates residence facilities and a
sheltered training center.

Substantially all of the Company's revenues arise from contractual services
provided to and negotiated with the Massachusetts Department of Mental
Retardation.

Losses in past years, due primarily to insufficient occupancy levels, had
contributed to a condition where current liabilities substantially exceed
current assets. The deficiency has been funded by personal advances and bank
loans partially personally guaranteed by David B. Slater. These advances
originally amounted to $928,000 and currently $254,446 at September 30, 1996.
Also see notes 4 and 5.
