ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

           International Nursing Services, Inc. and its  subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Company") , doing  business  as  Nurse  Source,
National  Care  Resources, STAT Health Care  Services,  Ellis  Health
Services,  TherAmerica,  Inc. and Paxxon Services,  provides  skilled
nursing,  therapists, rehabilitation and other medical personnel  for
supplemental staffing in home care and in a broad spectrum of  health
care and educational facilities.  The Company's supplemental staffing
services   are  provided  through  a  pool  of  approximately   2,200
caregivers  including licensed and registered nurses, rehabilitation,
physical,  respiratory, occupational and speech  therapists,  medical
social workers, home care aides and other unlicensed personnel.   The
Company's supplemental and home care staff currently serves over  900
hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, physician groups, assisted  living
facilities,  health maintenance organizations and other  health  care
institutions, a variety of educational facilities and individual home
care  clients.   The  Company  operates through  offices  located  in
Yonkers  and  the  Bronx, New York, Houston and San  Antonio,  Texas,
Emoryville  and  Ontario,  California,  and  Denver,  Colorado.   The
Company   currently  provides  supplemental  staffing  services   and
therapists  in  New  York, Texas, Colorado  and  California.   Travel
nurses  and therapists are provided in 13 other states.  The  Company
intends  to  expand  through a combination  of  providing  home  care
services at existing supplemental staffing facilities, implementing a
strategic  marketing  program directed to local and  national  health
care providers and acquisitions of additional home care, supplemental
staffing, and related businesses.

History of the Company

      The Company was incorporated in the State of Colorado under the
name  NUR-Staff West, Inc. on April 22, 1988.  On May 24,  1988,  the
Company's name was changed to Med-Temps, Incorporated and on February
16,  1990,  the  Company adopted the name under  which  it  currently
conducts business.  On August 12, 1988, the Company completed a self-
underwritten  public  offering pursuant  to  which  an  aggregate  of
150,100 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock  and
one  redeemable warrant, were offered and sold.  The Company received
gross  proceeds of $150,100 from its initial public offering of  such
units.   On  September  19,  1994, the  Company  completed  a  public
offering  of  225,000 Units, each Unit consisting of  two  shares  of
preferred  stock, one share of common stock and three 1994  Warrants.
A portion of the proceeds of this public offering was used to finance
the  Company's  acquisitions in September, 1994 of  Paxxon  Services,
Inc.  ("Paxxon Services") and Mint Energy Corporation, doing business
as Nurse Connection ("Nurse Connection").

      In  April  1996, the Company acquired certain assets  of  Ellis
Health  Services, Inc. ("Ellis").  The purchase price for  the  Ellis
assets  was  $1,025,000.   The purchase price  was  paid  by  issuing
256,250  shares  of the Company's common stock and guaranteeing  that
the  former  owner  of  Ellis would receive at  least  $1,025,000  in
proceeds from the sale of the shares.  Ellis is an affiliated company
of  Paxxon  Services, Inc., which the Company acquired in  September,
1994.   Ellis had revenues of approximately $1,800,000, gross  profit
of  approximately $560,000 (31% gross profit margin), and net  income
before tax of $56,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

      In  August  1996, the Company acquired certain assets  of  STAT
Health  Care  Services,  Inc.  ("STAT")  for  a  purchase  price   of
approximately $2,145,000.  STAT is a home care company which provides
home  health  aides to its customers and operates in  New  York,  New
York.   STAT had gross revenues of approximately $5,625,000  for  the
fiscal  year  ended December 31, 1995.  The purchase price  was  paid
$1,550,000 in cash, approximately $468,500 worth of common  stock  of
the  Company and warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common  stock
at $1.88 per share.
     In January 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of Colorado
Therapists   On  Call,  Inc.  ("CTOC")  and  Professional  Healthcare
Providers,  Inc.  ("PHP"), together doing  business  under  the  name
TherAmerica  ("TherAmerica).   TherAmerica  had  gross  revenues   of
approximately $8,378,000 and a net loss of $63,000 for the year ended
December 29, 1996.  The acquisition was effective January 1, 1997 and
the  Company paid $2,000,000 cash and assumed approximately  $175,000
in liabilities for the TherAmerica assets which will be treated as  a
purchase for accounting purposes.

     In addition to the Ellis, STAT and TherAmerica acquisitions, the
Company  intends to pursue other possible acquisitions, however,  the
Company  has  no  other  agreements,  understandings  or  commitments
regarding  any other acquisitions. All of the acquisitions  currently
being  considered  by the Company will be subject  to  entering  into
definitive   documentation  which  will   contain   certain   closing
conditions,  including  the  Company obtaining  necessary  financing.
There  can  be  no  assurance that the necessary  financing  will  be
obtained  or that all other conditions to closing will be  satisfied.
Consequently,  there  can  be  no assurance  that  the  Company  will
consummate  any  or  all  of  the  contemplated  acquisitions.    See
"MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OR  PLAN  OF  OPERATION   -
Overview."

Pending Disposition

      In January 1997, the Company entered into a letter-of-intent to
dispose  of its Medicare/Medicaid home care and staffing business  in
Denver,  Colorado  for  a  sale  price  of  $300,000.   The  sale  is
contingent  on  the completion of the due diligence  process  by  the
buyer   and   other   closing   conditions.    Revenues   from    the
Medicare/Medicaid  home  care and staffing business  in  Denver  were
approximately  $1,598,000 in 1996.  There can be no  assurance  given
that  the necessary closing conditions will be satisfied and the sale
consummated.

Industry Overview

  The Company believes the size of the supplemental staffing industry
to be $45 billion and this segment of the market is growing at a 15%
per year rate.  Medical supplemental staffing is provided to health
care institutions in the form of either staffing done on a daily
basis or through travel nurse assignments that are generally thirteen
weeks or longer in length.

  Health care institutions use supplemental staffing for the
following reasons:

 Local and regional health care worker shortages;
 Episodic needs for specialty health care during specific disease
  epidemics;
 Increased patient acuity mix within the hospital markets;
 Increases in labor intensive medical care technology;
 The aging of the population; and
 Hospital trends to contain costs by cutting back staff positions to
  a minimal level and supplementing increased occupancy rates with
  agency staff.
  Hospital occupancy has shifted towards more outpatient/hospital
   early discharge/home health care programs.  Numerous health care
   organizations have developed special or innovative arrangements for
   early discharges, including both pre- and post-admission services.

  The home health care market represents a $34 billion industry
growing at 10% per annum.  Health aides, nurses and therapists are
provided to health care agencies on a per visit or daily basis.  The
home health care industry is expected to reach the $50 billion mark
by the end of the decade.  Independent projections indicate that 1995
revenue for home health care was approximately $28 billion with a
compounded annual growth rate between 1995 - 1999 of 15%.

  The rapid growth of home health care in the United States is due
to:

 The general aging of the United States population;
 The realization of cost savings through treatment at home as an
  alternative to hospitalization;
 The fixed amount of Medicare reimbursement to hospitals based upon
  a patient's diagnosis, regardless of the cost of service or length of
  stay.  Hospitals are incented to minimize the length of a patient's
  stay;
 Advances in medical technology which have enabled a growing number
  of treatments to be provided in the home rather than requiring
  hospitalization; and
 Patient preference to be cared for in the home rather than the
  hospital when the alternative is medically possible.

  Several programs have been proposed to reform the United States
health care system.  Some of these programs contain proposals to
increase government involvement in health care, lower reimbursement
rates and otherwise change the operating environment for the
Company's customers.  Health care facilities may react to these
proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by
curtailing the use of flexible staff.  The Company cannot predict
with any certainty what impact, if any, proposals for health care
reforms might have on the Company's business.  As part of health care
reform, recent federal and certain state legislative proposals have
included provisions extending health insurance benefits to temporary
employees.  Due to the wide variety of national and state proposals
relating to health care presently under consideration, the impact of
such proposals cannot be predicted.  The health care industry is
subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences
that may affect the procurement practices and operations of hospitals
and other health care facilities.  During the past several years, the
health care industry has been subject to an increase in government
regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates and certain
capital expenditures.  In addition, major third party payers of
hospital services (insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid) have
significantly revised payment procedures in an effort to contain
health care costs.  Recently, Congress has proposed modifications to
the budgets for Medicare and Medicaid.  These proposed budget
modifications were vetoed by President Clinton.  However, the Company
believes that if similar budget modifications were enacted in the
future, the budgets for Medicare and Medicaid would likely experience
a decrease in the rate of growth in the amount of budgeted funds
available for use under such programs.  The recent proposals did not
contemplate a decrease in the amount of budgeted funds available for
use under such programs which would have had a significant negative
impact on the Company's revenues derived from the home care services.
The Company expects that future legislative proposals affecting
Medicare and Medicaid may be introduced by Congress from time to
time.  The Company cannot predict in any meaningful way what such
proposals might entail or what effect any such proposals may have on
the Company's business.  However, if any such proposals resulted in a
reduction in the reimbursement rate available under Medicare and
Medicaid programs, the Company's revenue derived from home care
services could be adversely affected.  These and other factors
affecting the health care industry may have a significant impact on
the Company's operating results.

Business Strategy

  The Company's strategy is to provide comprehensive services to
clients located in hospitals, health care organizations, and homes.
Staffing is provided in homes, school settings, hospitals, clinics
and physician offices utilizing a supplemental diversified mix of
traditional nursing and other allied health care professionals such
as physical, occupational and respiratory therapists, home health
aides, and other nursing professionals.

  The services provided by the Company bridge the gap between
hospital and home. Often times the same professionals caring for
patients in the hospital setting are involved in the care at home.
Clients request that the Company provide the same trained
professional for both home and hospital health care.  This request
has driven the Company to provide supplemental staffing, travel nurse
and home health care in each of the geographical markets that the
Company operates.

  Other key elements of the Company's strategy include:

 Broaden customer relationships through enhanced contracting,
  marketing and obtaining certain key accreditations such as the Joint
  Commission Accreditation for Health Care Organizations (JCAHO);
 Expand services utilized by clients;
 Growth through acquisition; and
 Development of an integration philosophy and plan that defines the
  achievement of certain operating efficiencies.

  The foregoing business strategies include forward-looking
statements, the realization of which may be impacted by certain
important factors discussed elsewhere herein.  See "MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION - Overview".

Customers

  The Company's customers include, but are not limited to, patients,
hospitals, physicians, discharge planners, social workers, third
party payers including Medicare and Medicaid, educational facilities
and other types of health care organizations.  Approximately 6% of
the Company's revenues in 1996 were derived from third party payers,
including Medicare and Medicaid programs.  These programs require
that the Company meet and maintain standards of eligibility for
participation and reimbursement.  A certain portion of the Company's
future operating results are dependent on it's ability to keep
current on changes and modifications within the programs and to
incorporate these changes into its operations to continue to meet
eligibility standards.

  Billing, payment arrangements and staffing agreements with the
Company's customers are stipulated by contracts with the customer.
The contracts are not exclusive and do not obligate the customer to
utilize a certain amount of service for any specific period of time.
Customers often use several supplemental staffing agencies to meet
their needs and the Company competes with these agencies on the basis
of pricing, availability of caregivers, and quality of service.
Services

      The  Company offers a broad range of professional  and  support
services to meet medical and personal needs in the home or in  health
care  or  educational  facilities.  The following  provides  a  brief
description  of the services customarily provided by skilled  nursing
personnel and other caregivers placed with customers.

 Registered  Nurses provide a broad range of nursing care  services,
  including skilled observation and assessment, instruction of patients
  regarding   medical  and  technical  procedures,  direct   hands-on
  treatment,  and communication and coordination with  the  attending
  physician or other service agencies.

 Licensed  Practical  Nurses perform, under  the  supervision  of  a
  registered  nurse,  technical  nursing  procedures,  which  include
  injections, dressing changes, assistance with ambulation and catheter
  care.

 Physical and Rehabilitation Therapists provide services related  to
  the  reduction  of pain and improved rehabilitation of  joints  and
  muscles, including strengthening and range-of-motion exercises, heat
  lamp therapy and massage.

 Occupational Therapists assist patients in restoring their  ability
  to perform routine activities of daily living by offering instruction
  in  self  care,  discussing  techniques for  coping  with  physical
  disability  and  suggesting the use of assistant  devices  or  home
  adaption to make living at home easier.

 Speech Therapists retrain patients who have swallowing difficulties
  or  speech, language or hearing problems to improve their  physical
  capabilities or communication abilities.

 Social  Workers  help  patients and their families  deal  with  the
  emotional, social, financial and personal problems that may occur as
  a  result of illness or disability including the identification and
  coordination of services with other community resources.

 Home   Health  and  certified  Nurse  Aides,  working   under   the
  supervision of a registered nurse, provide health-related  services
  and personal care such as assistance with ambulation, limited range-
  of-motion exercises and monitoring of vital signs.

 Homemakers/Companions  provide personal care  and  assistance  with
  daily living activities, including bathing, dressing, grooming, meal
  preparation, light housekeeping and occasional shopping for essential
  items.

Recruiting

      The  Company is active in recruiting skilled nursing  personnel
and other caregivers in order to assure availability of personnel  as
customer  demand warrants.  Location of assignment, compensation  and
benefits  are generally the principal factors considered  by  medical
personnel  when  determining whether to contract  with  a  particular
flexible  staffing business. To date, the Company's  operations  have
not  been  adversely affected by the shortage of  nurses  in  certain
geographical regions or specialties.
      The  Company's ability to deliver quality nursing  services  is
dependent  upon  the Company's ability to recruit  qualified  skilled
nursing   personnel.   The  Company's  recruiting   efforts   include
advertising,   attendance  at  national  and  regional   conventions,
personal  and  professional  referrals  and  participation   by   the
Company's  officers  in  nursing and other trade  associations.   The
Company has recruited and continues to recruit medical personnel  and
has  entered into agreements with other staffing agencies whereby the
Company  can  use the other agency's personnel under  contract.   The
Company  has  compiled a listing of over 2,200 qualified  nurses  and
medical  personnel  who  are  classified by  skills,  experience  and
availability   for  assignment.   These  nurses  and  other   medical
personnel  generally do not work exclusively for  the  Company.   The
Company  has  in  the past been generally successful in  meeting  its
staffing  requirements from its existing pool of caregivers  and,  in
cases where a particular specialty or expertise was unavailable,  the
Company  has  been  successful in hiring personnel on  a  subcontract
basis from other flexible staffing companies.

Marketing and Sales

      The Company has developed distinct marketing strategies for its
services.   The Company's clientele currently consists  of  hospitals
and other health care and educational facilities located in New York,
Texas,  California and Colorado and its travel nursing and  therapist
clientele  consists of hospitals and other health care facilities  in
13  states.   The  Company  has secured non-exclusive  agreements  to
supply  supplemental  staff to these health  care  facilities  for  a
period  of  between  one  and  two  years.  The  Company  derives   a
significant portion of its business through its marketing efforts and
expects  to  expand  its  marketing efforts  to  local  and  regional
hospital  chains  as the expected consolidation in  the  health  care
industry is anticipated to result in an increasing number of regional
and national hospital chains.

       The   Company  markets  its  supplemental  staffing   services
principally  through  direct  contact with  hospitals,  direct  mail,
attendance  at  national and regional conventions  and  seminars  and
telephone solicitations.  In order to increase its penetration in the
supplemental  staffing  market, the  Company  has  also  initiated  a
program   to   include  rehabilitation,  physical   and   respiratory
therapists  for  placement in hospitals and  other  health  care  and
educational  facilities.  Management  anticipates  the  Company  will
continue to develop its marketing programs.

      Management also believes that the Company's ability  to  expand
its   business  will  depend  in part on  the  implementation  of  an
acquisition strategy which has been initiated by the acquisitions  of
Paxxon  Services,  Ellis,  STAT, TherAmerica  and  Nurse  Connection.
Management  believes that the daily staffing business is particularly
suited  to  a "growth by acquisition" strategy because hospitals  and
other  health  care  and  educational institutions  customarily  draw
supplemental   staff   from  local  providers.    Acquiring   ongoing
businesses  in  new  locations gives the  Company  the  advantage  of
building   on   existing   referral  relationships   and   customers.
Accordingly, the Company expects to continue to seek out acquisitions
in  the  daily  staffing  market  in order  to  increase  its  market
penetration.

      The  Company's marketing and sales strategy consists of working
to  increase  its  shift  count and improve its  gross  margins  with
existing   clients,  bidding  competitively  on  new  contracts   and
continuing to expand its opportunities to place its personnel at non-
traditional  facilities.   The Company has  expanded  its  geographic
presence  with  the recent acquisitions of STAT and  TherAmerica  and
intends to aggressively market its skilled nursing, nurse aides, home
health  aides and therapists to offices which currently  don't  staff
these  services.   In addition, the geographic expansion  allows  for
more  skilled nursing and therapist travel placements.   The  Company
intends to utilize the existing infrastructure in each of its  branch
offices to expand its service offerings in each branch office.

      The  Company's home care services are paid for by a variety  of
sources.    Payment  for  services  generally  comes  from  Medicare,
Medicaid, local government health care programs, commercial insurance
carriers  and private individuals.  In instances where patients  have
more  than  one  source  of reimbursement, the  portion  the  Company
charges that is not covered by a primary source may be covered  by  a
secondary  source  of  reimbursement.  The Company  also  obtains  an
assignment  of benefits from the patient that enables the Company  to
file  claims for its services with third-party payers.  As a  result,
such third-party payers pay the Company directly for the reimbursable
amount  of  its  charges.   The Company's experience  has  been  that
certain  policies  offered  by insurance  carriers  and  governmental
agencies contain reimbursement limitations.

      Medicare  reimburses  health care  providers,  on  a  cost-base
system,  up to certain limits.  To the extent Medicare limits  exceed
the provider's direct cost for a particular service, the provider can
seek  reimbursement for certain indirect costs, up  to  an  aggregate
amount  equal to the Medicare limits for that service.  In  order  to
receive Medicare reimbursement, the Company must provide services  in
states  which  have  certification  requirements  and  must   be   in
compliance  with  those  requirements.   The  Company  is   currently
certified in the State of Colorado and licensed in the State  of  New
York as a home health care agency.  In certain states which require a
certificate  of  need (a "CON"), the Company may be  required  to  be
certified   in  order  to  provide  home  care  services.    Although
certification is a requirement to receive a CON, the Company  is  not
prohibited   from  subcontracting its  personnel  to  CON  providers.
Because  CON's  are limited in a number of states and   may  only  be
obtained  by  acquiring a CON provider, the Company may  continue  to
subcontract to CON providers in those states.  In those states  where
CON's  become  available and Medicare and Medicaid  are  expected  to
constitute a material portion of the Company's revenues, the  Company
may  seek  to  obtain certification.  Each state  may  have  its  own
certification  standards with which the Company will be  required  to
comply in order to receive a CON.

Competition

      The  Company's  supplemental staffing businesses  compete  with
other  medical  recruitment and supplemental  staffing  organizations
which  offer  the same or similar services provided by  the  Company.
Many  of these competitors have greater financial and other resources
than  are  available to the Company.  Competition  for  hospital  and
other  health  care  clients is generally based  on  the  ability  to
provide qualified nurses and  medical personnel on a timely basis  in
a  cost-competitive manner.  The Company also experiences competition
in recruiting for professional nursing staff.
     The Company believes the key competitive factors in its industry
include  service,  price  and its ability to  deliver  staff  to  the
geographic  area  where  needed.  The range of  specialized  services
offered,  together with the price charged for the services, are  also
competitive factors in attracting clients.  There is limited, if any,
competition  in price with respect to Medicare and Medicaid  patients
because  the  revenue  for  services to  such  patients  is  strictly
controlled  and  based on fixed rates and uniform cost  reimbursement
principles.

Regulation

      Several programs have been proposed to reform the United States
health  care  system.  These programs include proposals  to  increase
governmental  involvement in health care, lower  reimbursement  rates
and  otherwise  change the operating environment  for  the  Company's
customers.  The objective of these programs is to expand health  care
coverage to every American while curtailing medical costs. There  can
be  no assurance the Company will be able to capitalize on the effect
of such legislation or that such legislation will not have a negative
impact on the Company's operations.

      The  federal  government and the states in  which  the  company
currently   operates  regulate  various  aspects  of  the   Company's
supplemental  staffing business.  Home care agency  certification  by
the  Health  Care Financing Administration ("HCFA")  is  required  to
enable the Company to receive reimbursement for nursing services  and
supplies   from   Medicare.   HCFA  requires,  as  a   condition   to
participation  as  a  home care agency in the Medicare  program,  the
satisfaction of certain standards with respect to personnel, services
and  supervision, appropriation of annual budgets, cost  reports  and
capital  expenditure' plans, and the establishment of a  professional
advisory  group.    The  Company's Denver office  presently  provides
services   covered   by   Medicare.   The   Company   has   received,
accreditation   from  the  Joint  Commission  on   Accreditation   of
Healthcare   Organizations  ("JCAHO")  to  evidence   the   Company's
commitment to high service standards in its Bronx and Yonkers offices
and  intends to seek such accreditation in its other offices  to  the
extent  deemed  beneficial.  Management believes  such  certification
provides  a  marketing  advantage to  the  Company's  home  care  and
rehabilitation   services,  although  there  is  no  assurance   such
certification will be received by all of its offices.  In the future,
it  is  possible that home care providers may be required  to  obtain
JCAHO or other certifications, the receipt of which by the Company in
all of its offices is not assured.

      In  many  of the states with regulations governing health  care
providers, the Company need only be licensed by the state.  In almost
half  the  states, home care providers must receive a  CON  from  the
state.  CON laws can limit or prohibit a company's ability to provide
certain  services and to establish or expand its operations within  a
state.   CON  laws  and  other regulations may  limit  to  designated
geographic  locations the services to be provided by the  Company  or
healthcare providers which utilize the Company's supplemental  staff.
CON  requirements and restrictions vary substantially from  state  to
state.   The Company's inability to obtain or renew any license,  CON
or certification could adversely affect the Company's operations.  If
the   Company  is  not  able  to  obtain  a  CON  in  any  particular
jurisdiction,  the  Company  may still  provide  services  which  are
reimbursed by payers other than Medicare by subcontracting to  a  CON
provider.

      Several states have enacted legislation requiring providers  of
supplemental staffing services to publicly post their billing  rates.
At  least  one  state  has  adopted  legislation  that  provides  for
regulatory  review  of such billing rates.  The adoption  of  similar
legislation  by  other  states could have an adverse  impact  on  the
supplemental staffing industry.

      The  Company  is  subject to various  city,  county  and  state
payroll,  occupational and professional licensing laws that apply  to
medical professionals.  Many states have statutes requiring training,
monitoring and regulating of medical professionals.

Employees

     Exclusive of medical personnel, the Company has 73 full-time and
4 part-time administrative employees.

      The  number of caregivers on assignment varies from day to day.
These medical personnel do not necessarily work full-time shifts  and
may  not  work exclusively for the Company.  The Company's  employees
are  not  represented  by  a  union and  the  Company  considers  its
relations with its employees to be good.

      The Company currently has in place a screening process for  all
prospective   medical  personnel.   The  Company  has  entered   into
agreements with other staffing agencies whereby the Company may place
medical  personnel  currently  under  contract  with  other  staffing
agents.

properties are adequately insured.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      On  July  26,  1996, Staff Builders, Inc. filed a civil  action
against  the  Company  in  the US District  Court  for  the  Southern
District  of  New  York  demanding payment  of  an  outstanding  note
payable.   The  plaintiff alleged that the Company owed approximately
$145,000  in principal and $12,000 in accrued interest.  The  Company
entered  into  a  settlement agreement in January  1997  whereby  the
Company  will pay $166,122 in installments between February 15,  1997
and July 15, 1997 in exchange for a release of all claims.

      In  January 1997, the Company was named as a party in a lawsuit
filed  by  a  former  patient in San Antonio,  Texas.  The  complaint
alleges  that  a  respiratory therapist employed by the  Company  was
negligent  in  his  duties resulting in bodily  injuries  and  mental
anguish  suffered by the patient.  In a separate but related  matter,
the  client/hospital at which the alleged incident occurred has  paid
$100,000 to the plaintiff in exchange for being released as  a  party
to  the  lawsuit  and  has demanded that the  Company  indemnify  the
hospital  as  the  hospital  alleges is stipulated  in  the  contract
between the Company and the hospital.  The Company believes that  its
employee was not negligent in his duties and that the Company has  no
liability  in this matter.  The Company intends to vigorously  defend
itself in this matter.  In addition, the Company does not believe  it
has an obligation to indemnify its client hospital under its contract
as the Company was not a party to the settlement.

      The  Company's professional liability policy covers the defense
of  the  allegations  of negligence, but does not cover  settlements,
awards  or  damages.  The Company has accrued $100,000 in 1996  as  a
potential settlement and litigation expense.


  The  Company  purchased  Ellis Health  Services,  Inc.  by  issuing
256,250  shares  of the Company's common stock and guaranteeing  that
the former owner of Ellis would realize at least $4.25 per share upon
the  sale  of the first 12,000 shares each month and $4.00 per  share
thereafter.  The Company agreed to issue additional shares  or  stock
to  make  up  any shortfall and the Chairman and CEO of  the  Company
pledged  100,000 of his personal shares as collateral.   At  December
29,  1996, the former owner of Ellis had a shortfall of approximately
$500,000 from the sales of stock to that date.  In January 1997,  the
former  owner  of  Ellis exercised his right  to  take  the  security
pledged  by  the  Chairman  and CEO of the  Company.   The  Board  of
Directors  approved  the  issuance to the Chairman  and  CEO  100,000
shares  of  common  stock and options to purchase 250,000  shares  of
common  stock at $1.00 per share to compensate the Chairman  and  CEO
for the loss of his personal shares.  The $1.00 per share represented
the  fair  market value of the shares at the date of the  grant.   In
March  1997, the former owner of Ellis has presented a demand  letter
to  the  Company requesting immediate payment of the remaining amount
due of approximately $400,000 or if the Company is unable to pay, the
former  owner of Ellis is threatening to sue the Company.  The letter
also stated that if the Company is unable to pay such amount by April
7,  1997, legal action will be pursued with the former owner  seeking
recovery of the shortfall, interest, attorney fees, and other related
expenses  incurred.   The  Company has begun  negotiations  with  the
former owner in an attempt to resolve this matter.

  In  February  1997, the Company received a subpoena  in  connection
with  a grand jury investigation on organized crime influence of  the
securities markets.  The Company is in the process of fully complying
with  the subpoena.  The Company has been informed that it is  not  a
target of the investigation.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

      The annual meeting of shareholders was held on November 4, 1996
in  Denver, Colorado (adjourned as to certain matters until  November
21, 1996) for the purpose of electing a board of directors, authorize
an  increase  in  the  authorized shares of the Corporation's  common

      There were approximately 313 holders of record of the Company's
common  stock as of March 3, 1997.  This number includes shareholders
of record who may hold stock for the benefit of others.

      The  Company does not expect to pay any dividends on its common
stock  in  the foreseeable future.  Management currently  intends  to
retain  all  available funds for the development of its business  and
for  use as working capital.  The payment of dividends on the  common
stock  is  subject to the Company's prior payment of all accrued  and
unpaid dividends on any preferred stock outstanding.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

      The  Company's  revenues are derived primarily  from  providing
supplemental   staff  for  hospitals  and  other  health   care   and
educational  institutions and individual patients restricted  to  the
home.  The Company believes the medical staffing market will continue
to  grow.   The  Company believes it is positioned to expand  in  the
rapidly growing health care industry.

      The  Company's  business strategy is  to  provide  a  range  of
flexible  staffing  services  to a diversified  mix  of  health  care
organizations in markets served by the Company.  The Company  expects
to  implement this strategy through internal growth achieved  through
strategic  marketing  programs and expansion of services  offered  at
existing locations, as well as acquisitions of businesses, which will
complement existing services.

      Historically,  the  Company chose  to  segregate  its  revenues
between  home care revenues and supplemental staffing revenues.   The
distinction  between the two being that home care revenues  generally
related  to revenues derived from patients cared for in the home  for
which the Company was the primary caregiver and party responsible for
billing the third party payer.  During 1996, with the acquisition  of
STAT  and  the  decision to sell the home care  business  in  Denver,
Colorado,  a  larger percentage of the Company's home  care  revenues
relate  to  staffing  of individuals in homes  for  other  home  care
agencies.    In   these  instances,  the  caregiver  is   effectively
supplemental staff for the home care agency.  The home care agency is
the  primary caregiver and is responsible for billing the third party
payer.   The Company bills the home care agency.  The characteristics
of  this  type of home care are similar to the Company's supplemental
staffing business and therefore, revenues are not broken out  between
home care and supplemental staffing in the current presentation.

1996 Private Placements

     In  July  and  September 1996, the Company completed  a  private
placement  of  244  units,  each  unit  consisting  of  a  share   of
convertible  preferred  stock, $10,000  par  value  ("1996  Preferred
Stock"),  a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares of the Company's  common
stock  at  $2.50 per share and a unit purchase option to purchase  an
additional unit at $10,000 per unit.  The convertible preferred stock
carries  a 10% dividend and is convertible at the lesser of $1.25  or
75%  of  the average sales price for the five trading days  prior  to
conversion.   The  private placement raised  gross  proceeds  to  the
Company of approximately $2,440,000.

     Approximately $1,550,000 of the proceeds raised was used to fund
the cash purchase portion of STAT.  A shareholder who participated in
the  placement  of  the private placement was paid  a  commission  of
$117,000  in 1996 and issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares  of
common  stock at $2.00 per share.  The warrant price was subsequently
reduced to $1.00 per share in January 1997.

     During  1996, 88.5 units (with accrued dividends) were converted
to  923,111  shares of common stock.  In addition, a Unit holder  who
held  17  units was allowed to reduce their purchase price  on  their
warrants to $1.00 per share from $2.50 per share, resulting in  gross
proceeds to the Company of $136,000 in November 1996.  Subsequent  to
year  end, an additional 100 units have been converted through  March
3,  1997 resulting in the issuance of an additional 1,388,723  shares
of  common  stock in 1997.  Also in 1997, a Unit Holder who  held  20
Units  exercised  their  Unit  purchase  option  resulting  in  gross
proceeds  to  the  Company of $200,000.  The Unit holder  immediately
converted  the  preferred  to common resulting  in  the  issuance  of
257,028 shares of common stock in January 1997.

1997 Private Placement

     In  January and February 1997, the Company completed  a  private
placement  of  167.15 Units, each unit consisting  of  one  share  of
convertible  preferred  stock, $10,000  par  value,  "1997  Preferred
Stock",  and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common  stock  at
$1.00 per share.  The convertible preferred stock carries no dividend
if   the   underlying  common  stock  is  included  in  an  effective
registration  statement within 90 days of the date of the  agreement.
After  90  days,  if  the underlying shares are not  included  in  an
effective registration statement, the dividend rate becomes 18%.   In
addition,  the preferred stock contains a redemption feature  whereby
if  the  underlying  common  stock which  the  preferred  shares  are
convertible  into  is  not  effectively  registered  by  the   second
anniversary date of each respective unit placed, the holder at  their
option  may  redeem the preferred shares for $10,000  each  plus  all
accrued  unpaid  dividends.  The Company  raised  gross  proceeds  of
$1,671,500 from this private placement.  Commissions of $99,540  were
paid  to  individuals who assisted in the private placement  who  are
also  shareholders of the Company.  Substantially all of the proceeds
were  used  to  purchase  TherAmerica (See  Note  2  to  the  audited
financial statements).

Acquisitions

     In September 1994, with a portion of the proceeds from the above-
described public offering, the Company acquired substantially all  of
the  assets,  excepting accounts receivable, of two businesses  which
provide supplemental staffing.  Paxxon Services,  located in Yonkers,
New  York, provides daily staffing and rehabilitation services to the
acute  and  long-term pediatric and geriatric patient  population  in
health  care  and  educational  facilities  in  a  five-county   area
including  a portion of New York City.  Nurse Connection, located  in
Houston, Texas, provides daily staffing services of licensed  medical
personnel  in  Houston and San Antonio, Texas and  travel  nurses  in
Texas and several other states.

      In  connection  with its acquisition of the  assets  of  Paxxon
Services,  Inc.  in 1994, the Company executed and delivered  to  the
seller  a  promissory note in the principal amount of  $937,500  (the
"Paxxon  Note").   The outstanding principal balance  of  the  Paxxon
Note,  net  of  certain credits was $434,202 as  of  March  1,  1996.
Accrued and unpaid interest on the Paxxon Note totaled $9,149  as  of
March 1, 1996.  The Paxxon Note was payable in quarterly installments
of  $78,125 each with the last installment being due in 1998.  In  an
effort to improve the balance sheet and cash flow of the Company, the
Company paid $312,500 of the principal balance of the Paxxon Note and
issued  to  the  holder  of  the Paxxon Note  28,203  shares  of  the
Company's Common Stock in full satisfaction of the remaining  balance
of the Paxxon Note.

      Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement in 1994  to
acquire substantially all of the assets of Ellis, which is located in
Yonkers,  New  York  and had common ownership with  Paxxon  Services.
Ellis  provides  home care services in the same five county  area  as
Paxxon Services.  Completion of the Ellis acquisition was subject  to
regulatory  requirements, including the Company obtaining  a  license
from,  and the approval of, the Department of Health of the State  of
New  York.   The  Company received approval from  the  Department  of
Health of the State of New York in January 1996 and received issuance
of  the  license.   The  Company and Ellis  terminated  the  original
agreement  and  entered into a new agreement pursuant  to  which  the
purchase price of the assets was paid through the issuance of 256,250
shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     In connection with the purchase of Ellis Health Services and the
issuance  of  28,203 shares of common stock to pay off the  remaining
amount due under the Paxxon note payable, the Company guaranteed that
the former owner of Ellis would realize at least $4.25 per share upon
the  sale  of the first 12,000 shares each month and $4.00 per  share
thereafter.  The Company agreed to issue additional shares  or  stock
to  make  up  any shortfall and the Chairman and CEO of  the  Company
pledged  100,000 of his personal shares as collateral.   At  December
29,  1996, the former owner of Ellis had a shortfall of approximately
$500,000 from the sales of stock to that date.  In January 1997,  the
former  owner  of  Ellis exercised his right  to  take  the  security
pledged  by  the  Chairman  and CEO of the  Company.   The  Board  of
Directors  of the Company issued the Chairman and CEO 100,000  shares
of  common  stock  and options to purchase 250,000 shares  of  common
stock  at $1.00 per share to compensate the Chairman and CEO for  the
loss  of  his  personal shares.  The $1.00 per share represented  the
fair  market value of the shares at the date of the grant.  In  March
1997, the former owner of Ellis has presented a demand letter to  the
Company requesting immediate payment of the remaining amount  due  of
approximately $400,000 or if the Company is unable to pay, the former
owner of Ellis is threatening to sue the Company.

      In  July, 1996, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary  JJ
Care Resources, Inc. ("JJ Care") completed the acquisition of certain
assets  of  STAT Health Care Services, Inc. for a purchase  price  of
$2,145,000,   payable  with  $1,550,000  in  cash  and  approximately
$468,000 worth of common stock and warrants.

      STAT  provides nurse and home health care staffing services  in
the   metropolitan  New  York  area.   Based  on  audited   financial
information, STAT had revenues of $5.7 million and pre-tax net income
of $514,000 for its fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.

     In addition to the Ellis, STAT and TherAmerica acquisitions, the
Company also intends to pursue other possible acquisitions.   All  of
the  acquisitions  currently being considered  by  the  Company,  are
subject  to  entering into definitive agreements which  will  contain
certain conditions, which may include the Company obtaining necessary
financing.  There can be no assurance that financing will be obtained
or  that all other conditions will be satisfied.  Consequently, there
can  be  no assurance the Company will consummate any or all  of  the
acquisitions it is pursuing.  See "DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS -  Pending
Acquisitions."

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

      Management believes that this filing contains certain  forward-
looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of  Section  27A  of   the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of  1934 and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements
be  subject  to  the  safe harbors created thereby.   These  forward-
looking statements include the plans and objectives of the management
for  future  operations, including plans and objectives  relating  to
services  offered by and future economic performance of the  Company.
The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this
filing  relate  to  the  Company's business  strategies  to  increase
revenues  from  providing services to existing and future  customers,
implementing  a  strategic marketing program directed  to  local  and
national   health   care  providers,  the  broadening   of   customer
relationships   through  enhanced  contracting,  expanding   services
utilized by existing and future customers and clients; development of
an integrated philosophy and plan defining the achievement of greater
operating   efficiencies,   cutting   operating   costs,   recruiting
additional  health  care professionals, obtaining  improved  accounts
receivable  financing,  funding current and  future  operations,  the
ability  to  raise additional debt or equity capital, the ability  of
the  Company  to  avoid  certain "extraordinary"  or  "non-recurring"
charges  and the Company's expressed desire and plan to grow  through
acquisitions.

      The  forward-looking statements included herein  are  based  on
current   expectations   that  involve  a   number   of   risks   and
uncertainties.   These  forward-looking  statements  are   based   on
assumptions that the Company will continue to be able to provide on a
cost  effective  and competitive basis quality home health  care  and
supplemental  staffing  services,  that  the  regulatory  environment
governing  the  Company's industry will not change in ways  that  are
materially  adverse  to  the Company and  its  operations,  that  the
Company  will  be able to continue to fund operations, that  improved
receivables  financing will be obtainable by  the  Company  on  terms
acceptable  to  the Company, that the Company will be able  to  raise
additional  equity  capital  if  required  to  fund  operations   and
acquisitions,  that  the Company will be able  to  achieve  operating
efficiencies  resulting in cost reductions, that a sufficient  supply
of  qualified health care personnel will be available to the  Company
for  deployment in the health care industry on a competitive and cost
effective basis and that there will be no material adverse change  in
the  demand for the Company's services or in the Company's operations
or business.  Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments
with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and
market  conditions, and future business decisions, all of  which  are
difficult  or impossible to predict accurately and many of which  are
beyond the control of the Company.  Although the Company believes the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable,
any  of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and therefore,  there
can  be  no  assurance that the results contemplated in the  forward-
looking  statements will be realized.  In addition, the business  and
operations  of  the  Company are subject to substantial  risks  which
increase the uncertainty inherent in such forward-looking statements.

      Important factors to be considered in connection with  forward-
looking statements include, without limitation, (a) the fact that the
Company reported net losses in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996 and had an
accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit in fiscal 1996; (b)
the  Company's  lack of working capital may require  the  Company  to
raise additional equity or debt financing in order to fund operations
and  the  cash portion of purchase prices payable in connection  with
acquisitions  and  the Company may be unable to raise  such  debt  or
equity  financing;  (c) the Company may not  be  able  to  obtain  an
improved  credit  facility  for  its  current  receivables  financing
arrangement  or  may  not be able to obtain such credit  facility  on
terms  acceptable to the company; (d) the current uncertainty in  the
health  care  industry  and government health care  reform  proposals
considered  from  time  to time may adversely affect  the  regulatory
environment in which the Company operates and specifically affect the
reimbursement rate payable under government programs such as Medicare
and  Medicaid, potentially resulting in decreased revenues from  home
care services; (e) the Company's dependence on customer relationships
makes  the  Company vulnerable to consolidation in  the  health  care
industry,  changes in customer personnel and other factors  that  may
impact  customer relationships; (f) the Company's ability  to  obtain
needed  licenses,  permits and governmental approvals  will  directly
affect  the  Company's economic performance and  operation;  (g)  the
Company's  ability to compete in the highly competitive  supplemental
staffing   services  market  will  directly  impact   the   Company's
profitability  and operations; the Company depends on  key-management
personnel, especially John P. Yeros to manage and direct the business
and  operations  of  the  Company;  (h)  hospital  budgetary  cycles,
increased  competition  for  qualified  medical  personnel,   patient
admission   fluctuations  and  seasonality  will  also   impact   the
profitability of the Company and cash flow may fluctuate due  to  the
adoption  by  hospitals  and third party payers  of  new  or  revised
reimbursement  policies;  (j)  the  Company's  operations  would   be
adversely affected by the expansion of more favorable credit terms in
order  to  keep existing customers; (k) Company's ability  to  manage
growth,  particularly through acquisitions, will directly impact  the
Company's   profitability  and  operations;   (l)   uninsured   risks
associated  with  providing  home  care  and  supplemental   staffing
services will also impact the Company's profitability and operations;
and  (m)  various  other  factors may cause actual  results  to  vary
materially  from  the  results contemplated  in  any  forward-looking
statements included in this filing.  No assurances can be given  that
the foregoing factors will not result in a material adverse effect on
the  Company  and  its  operations.  Any of these  important  factors
discussed above or elsewhere in this filing could cause the Company's
revenues  or  net  income, or growth in revenues or  net  income,  to
differ  materially  from  prior  results.   In  addition,  growth  in
absolute  amounts of selling, general and administrative expenses  or
the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results  to
vary  materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking
statements.  Budgeting and other management decisions are  subjective
in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic
revisions  based on actual experience and business developments,  the
impact of which may cause the Company to alter its marketing, capital
expenditures  or  other  budgets, which  may,  in  turn,  affect  the
Company's results of operation.

      In  light  of  the significant uncertainties  inherent  in  the
forward-looking  information included herein, the inclusion  of  such
information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company
or  any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will
be achieved.

Results of Operation

Comparison of Years Ended December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995

      Historically,  the  Company chose  to  segregate  its  revenues
between  home care revenues and supplemental staffing revenues.   The
distinction  between the two being that home care revenues  generally
related  to revenues derived from patients cared for in the home  for
which the Company was the primary caregiver and party responsible for
billing the third party payer.  During 1996, with the acquisition  of
STAT  and  the  decision to sell the home care  business  in  Denver,
Colorado,  a  larger percentage of the Company's home  care  revenues
relate  to  staffing  of individuals in homes  for  other  home  care
agencies.    In   these  instances,  the  caregiver  is   effectively
supplemental staff for the home care agency.  The home care agency is
the  primary caregiver and is responsible for billing the third party
payer.   The Company bills the home care agency.  The characteristics
of  this  type of home care are similar to the Company's supplemental
staffing business and therefore, revenues are not broken out  between
home care and supplemental staffing in the current presentation.

      Total net revenues increased approximately 10% from $12,978,000
for  the  year  ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Fiscal  Year")  to
$14,259,000  for the year ended December 29, 1996 (the  "1996  Fiscal
Year").  The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisitions  of
STAT  and Ellis.  The STAT and Ellis acquisitions were accounted  for
under the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, revenues  from
these   acquisitions  are  included  in  the  consolidated  financial
statements  of  the Company from the date of the acquisitions,  April
1996  for  Ellis  and  July 1996 for STAT. Revenues  from  these  two
entities included in the statement of operations for the 1996  fiscal
year  were  $2,395,000  for  STAT and $1,185,000  for  Ellis.   These
increases were offset by revenue losses in Colorado and Texas.

     The Company's total gross margin increased from 21% for the 1995
Fiscal  Year to 24% for the 1996 Fiscal Year.  The total gross margin
increase reflects the higher gross margins from its recently acquired
STAT and Ellis divisions.

      See Footnote 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the
unaudited results of operations of the Company after giving effect to
the  Ellis,  STAT and TherAmerica acquisitions as if  they  had  been
acquired as of January 1, 1995.

       Selling,   general,  and  administrative  expenses   decreased
approximately  $1,213,000 or 23% from $5,296,000 in the  1995  Fiscal
Year  to $4,083,000 in the 1996 Fiscal Year.  The decrease in selling
general and administrative expenses relates to several factors:

 The  Company  engaged  certain financial  consultants  in  1995  to
  provide financial consulting services for which the consultants were
  issued 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $2.00 per share.  The
  $1,000,000 consulting expense was included in 1995 with no  related
  expense in 1996.

 The  Company reduced managerial and administrative staff at several
  of its branches.

 Legal  and  accounting costs were nearly $200,000 higher in  fiscal
  1995  versus  fiscal 1996 due to two failed merger transactions  in
  1995.
      These decreases were offset by additional selling, general  and
administrative  expenses incurred in connection with STAT  ($495,000)
and  Ellis ($145,000) and additional amortization expense related  to
the STAT and Ellis acquisitions of $102,000.

     Loss from operations decreased $3,241,000 from $3,896,000 in the
1995  Fiscal Year to a loss from operations of ($655,000) in the 1996
Fiscal  Year.  The decrease reflects increases in gross margins  from
21% to 24% and items discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

      Interest expense decreased 23% from $715,000 in the 1995 Fiscal
Year to $552,000 in the 1996 Fiscal Year.  The decrease relates to  a
renegotiated  financing agreement with its lender which  reduced  the
Company's effective interest rate from over 30% to approximately 12%.
This decreased interest rate was partially offset by the increase  in
funding  costs on the additional accounts receivable due to the  STAT
and Ellis acquisitions.  See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
PLAN  OF OPERATION -- Liquidity of Capital Resources" and Note  5  to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

      Net loss decreased from ($4,611,000) in the 1995 Fiscal Year to
($1,207,000) in the 1996 Fiscal Year.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994

      Total  net revenues increased approximately 89% from $6,867,000
for  the  year  ended December 31, 1994 (the "1994 Fiscal  Year")  to
$12,978,000  for the year ended December 31, 1995 (the  "1995  Fiscal
Year").  The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisitions  of
Paxxon Services and Nurse Connection.  The Paxxon Services and  Nurse
Connection acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase  method
of  accounting.   Accordingly, revenues from these  acquisitions  are
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from
the  date  of  the acquisitions, September 19, 1994.   Revenues  from
these  two entities included in the statement of operations increased
from $2,614,000 in 1994 to $9,421,000 in 1995.

      Supplemental  staffing services increased  from  $4,787,000  to
$11,647,000 from the 1994 Fiscal Year to the 1995 Fiscal Year.   This
increase  is due largely to the inclusion of a full year of  revenues
from the Paxxson Services and Nurse Connection acquisitions which are
both supplemental staffing services operations.

      Home  care  services  revenues  decreased  from  $2,080,000  to
$1,331,000  from  the 1994 Fiscal Year to the 1995 Fiscal  Year.   In
October 1994, the Company's Executive Vice President resigned.   This
individual  had  built and managed a large Medicaid  based  pediatric
home  care practice in rural Colorado.  When this executive left  the
Company,  many of the nurses which worked in this program  left  with
the  executive to work with a competitor.  The Company was unable  to
replace this business in 1995.

     The Company's total gross margin decreased from 27% for the 1994
Fiscal  Year to 21% for the 1995 Fiscal Year.  The total gross margin
decrease   reflects  the  lower  proportion  of  home  care  services
performed by the Company in the 1995 Fiscal Year as compared  to  the
1994  Fiscal Year (home care services revenues were 10% of total  net
revenues  in 1995 versus 30% in 1994) which generated a higher  gross
margin  than  supplemental  staffing  services.   The  Company's  net
revenues  and  gross margin for fiscal year 1995 do not  include  any
amounts  from Ellis, an entity that the Company is under contract  to
purchase  upon  receipt  of  the license  recently  approved  by  the
Department of Health of the State of New York.
      The  Company's  total  gross margin from supplemental  staffing
services decreased from 26% in 1994 Fiscal Year to 20% in 1995 Fiscal
Year.   Direct  cost of services are substantially all  employee  and
independent  contractor related and consist of wages, payroll  taxes,
transportation  and housing costs and other personnel related  costs.
The  reduced margins in 1995 are largely the result of the  Company's
decision to convert its independent contractors in Texas to employees
which  resulted  in  the Company paying additional  employer  related
payroll  taxes.  This reduced margin is also attributable to  a  more
competitive   environment  in  the  Texas   market   which   included
significant consolidation amongst potential clients, more  aggressive
pricing   from   the   Company's  competitors   and   reduced   staff
availability.

      The  Company's  gross margin from home care services  decreased
from 29% in 1994 Fiscal Year to 25% in 1995 Fiscal Year.  Direct cost
of  services in the home care area are similar to those listed  above
for  supplemental  staffing.  This reduction in  margin  is  directly
attributable  to  a decrease in the pediatric home care  business  in
Colorado.   This business allowed for hourly billing  which  in  some
instances   required  24  hour  care  and  was  not   standard   cost
reimbursement limitations which allowed for higher gross margins.  As
this  business was decreased in 1995 due to reasons discussed  above,
the gross margin decreased accordingly.

     Medicare and Medicaid reimburse the Company at a negotiated rate
which  is  expected to equate to the Company's cost of  administering
the  program.   At the end of the year, the Company  submits  a  cost
report  to Medicare and Medicaid which is used to assess whether  the
Company  has been over or under reimbursed by Medicare and  Medicaid.
During  1995 Fiscal Year and 1994 Fiscal Year, the Company  has  been
over-reimbursed due to the reimbursement rate as set by Medicare  and
Medicaid  exceeding  actual  costs.  These  over-payments  have  been
recorded as liabilities and reductions of revenue.  This amounted  to
$453,000  in 1995 and $150,000 in 1994.  Of the $453,000 recorded  in
1995, $98,000 related to revenues recorded in 1994.  The Company  has
prepared  a preliminary cost report for the cost report period  ended
December  31, 1995 indicating that the liability as recorded  by  the
Company is reasonable.  This over-reimbursement was caused in part as
the  Company  suffered through cash flow problems, it was  forced  to
reduce  the  staff administering the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.
This  staff reduction and efficiencies of operation were not reviewed
in  connection with their impact of reducing the reimbursement  rate.
The  Company  has  remedied  this  situation  and  is  reviewing  its
reimbursement are compared to its costs of administering the  program
on  a  quarterly  basis  and  making the appropriate  adjustments  to
revenue.

     If the Company had closed the Ellis acquisition on September 19,
1994, the date it closed its acquisition of Paxxon Services and Nurse
Connection,  the Company's revenues and gross margin for Fiscal  Year
1995  would  have  been  increased by  approximately  $1,800,000  and
$571,000,  respectively  and  gross  margin  percentage  would   have
improved from 21% to 22%.  Accordingly, the Company's operations were
negatively impacted by the fact that regulatory approval had not  yet
been  obtained and the closing of the Ellis acquisition had  not  yet
occurred.   See  Footnote 2 of the consolidated financial  statements
for  the unaudited results of operations of the Company after  giving
effect  to  the  Ellis acquisition as if it had been acquired  as  of
January 1, 1994.

       Selling,   general   and  administrative  expenses   increased
approximately  204%  from  $1,741,000 in  the  1994  Fiscal  Year  to
$5,296,000  in  the  1995  Fiscal Year.  Approximately  half  of  the
increase  in selling, general and administrative expenses corresponds
with  the  increase  in net revenues and reflects increased  selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  associated  with  the  above-
described   acquisitions  and  increased  revenues  from  home   care
services.  As explained further below, the remaining increase is  due
to  the financial consulting fees, acquisition, legal, and accounting
fees, and increased financing costs.
      During  fiscal 1995, the Company incurred certain  expenditures
that are not expected to be incurred in fiscal 1996 as follows:

 Financial  consultants  were engaged in December  1995  to  provide
  financial consulting services.  The Company issued 500,000 shares of
  its  Common Stock to the consultants which were valued at $2.00 per
  share  which represented the fair market value at the time  of  the
  issuance.   The  $1,000,000 included in consulting expense  is  not
  expected to be incurred in fiscal 1996.
 The  Company attempted to acquire two different entities in  fiscal
  1995  which  were  not completed and two mergers  which  were  also
  abandoned.  The Company incurred approximately $250,000  legal  and
  accounting costs in connection with these failed transactions which
  are expected to be incurred in fiscal 1996.
 Due to the difficult financial situation that the Company faced  in
  fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995, the Company was forced to finance  its
  accounts receivable through a factoring arrangement.  The terms  of
  this  type of financing are significantly more expensive  than  the
  Company  hopes  to obtain in fiscal 1996.  A more  attractive  non-
  factoring  receivables  financing  arrangement  should  reduce  the
  Company's interest expense.  The Company is currently in negotiations
  with  two  different financing companies which  have  expressed  an
  intention to finance the Company's accounts receivable balances.  The
  Company has been informed by one of the financing companies that if
  the Company's March 31, 1996 balance sheet approximates its projected
  balance sheet and no other significant material adverse events occur,
  an agreement should be able to be reached.  In addition, the Company
  is holding discussions with an investment bank regarding a secondary
  offering  of  securities.  No assurances can be  given  that  these
  conditions will be met or that all the terms and conditions of  the
  final  agreement will be satisfactory to the Company  or  that  any
  alternative financing agreement will be consummated by the Company.
 The  Company's preferred stock automatically converted into  common
  stock in January 1996.  Preferred dividends are not expected to  be
  paid in fiscal 1996.  While preferred dividends are not charged  to
  expense  in the Statement of Operations and do not impact that  Net
  Loss,  these dividends increase the net loss applicable  to  common
  shareholders.
 The  Company  impaired $1,300,000 of its goodwill in  fiscal  1995.
  This  goodwill  was  originally recorded  in  connection  with  two
  acquisitions completed in fiscal 1994.
 The  Company reduced its administrative personnel from 42 employees
  in March 1995 to 39 in March 1996, while doubting its revenue base.
  In addition, several higher paid management employees were terminated
  during 1995 and will either not be replaced or will be replaced with
  lower salaried employees.

      Income  from operations decreased $3,982,000 from  income  from
operations  of  $86,000  in  the 1994 Fiscal  Year  to  a  loss  from
operations  of  ($3,896,000) in the 1995 Fiscal Year.   The  decrease
reflects  decreases  in  gross margins from  27%  to  21%  and  items
discussed in the preceding paragraph.

     During 1995, the Company adopted the provisions the SFAS 121 and
the company evaluated the amounts recorded as goodwill for the Paxxon
Services  and  Nurse Connection acquisitions.  The  Company  analyzed
future  expected  undiscounted  cash  flow  and  determined  it   was
necessary  to  write  down the assets as they had been  significantly
impaired due to future cash flow being less than projected.  This was
recognized  in  the  4th quarter when the Company prepared  its  1996
business  plan  after reviewing 1995 operations for the  first  three
quarters.   The  Company  spent  the  1995  year  integrating   these
businesses  which  included  replacing  employees,  identifying   new
markets and stabilizing client relationships.  The Company wrote down
the  Paxxon Services goodwill by approximately $758,000 and the Nurse
Connection goodwill by approximately $542,000.  After the writedowns,
the  remaining unamortized asset balances were approximately $934,000
for Paxxon Services and $525,000 for Nurse Connection.
     Interest expense increased 179% from $256,000 in the 1994 Fiscal
Year  to  $715,000 in the 1995 Fiscal Year.  The increase  represents
additional  interest  expense  incurred  to  finance  the   Company's
acquisitions and the change in the Company's funding of its  accounts
receivable.   The Company began utilizing a factoring agent  in  late
1994  and  continued  using  this receivables  financing  arrangement
throughout  1995.  The 1995 Statement of Operations  include  a  full
year  of  this  additional interest cost.  In addition,  the  Company
closed two acquisitions in September 1994 in which debt was issued to
finance part of the cost of the acquisitions.  In the Paxxon Services
acquisition,  the Company issued a promissory note for $937,500  with
an  interest rate of 7% which was outstanding for approximately  four
months  in  1994 and twelve months in 1995.  In the Nurse  Connection
acquisition,  the  Company issued a non-interest  bearing  promissory
note for $35,000.

      Net  loss increased from ($170,000) in the 1994 Fiscal Year  to
($4,611,000) in the 1995 Fiscal Year.

Going Concern Issues

      The  Company has suffered recurring losses for the past several
years and incurred a net loss for the year ended December 29, 1996 of
$858,000.  In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit  of
$1,338,000.   These factors, among others, raise a substantial  doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The
accompanying  financial  statements do not  include  any  adjustments
relating  to the recoverability and classification of asset  carrying
amounts  or the amount and classification  of liabilities that  might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

      The Company is pursuing a number of alternatives for additional
financing  which  include  a public and/or private  offering  of  the
Company's  securities, attempting to obtain an asset  based  line  of
credit   to   replace  its  current  accounts  receivable   factoring
arrangement,   considering   calling  for   redemption   of   certain
outstanding warrants or the making of an offer to reduce the exercise
price  of  its  outstanding warrants for a period of time  to  induce
exercise  and raise cash for the Company.  There can be no  assurance
that  the Company will undertake such financings, or that the Company
will  be  able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable
to the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       Management  of  the  Company  believes  that  cash  flow  from
operations should be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital
needs through fiscal 1997.  However, if the Company is unable to meet
its  revenue  projections, or costs exceed the Company's projections,
or  its  receivables  financing arrangement  is  terminated  and  the
Company  is unable to replace the facility with a comparable line  of
credit,  the  Company's cash flow from operations may be insufficient
to  meet  its  working capital needs.  In the past, the  Company  has
successfully  met  its  funding needs  by  issuing  debt  and  equity
instruments  in private placements or public offerings.   Should  the
Company's cash flow from operations be insufficient to meet its  cash
needs, the Company will pursue a private placement or public offering
of  debt or equity securities, will consider a reduced exercise price
warrant  offering and/or will reduce operations to a level  at  which
cash  flow  from operations can meet the cash needs of  the  Company.
There   can   be   no  assurances  that  any  such  capital   raising
alternatives, if pursued, will be consummated.
      The Company has historically released certain of its checks  in
anticipation of receiving cash proceeds from its receivable financing
agreement.  The Company does not have an arrangement with  its  banks
to  cover  checks presented in excess of its collected cash  balance;
however, this situation has not occurred as the Company releases  its
checks as close as possible to its funding date.

1996 Private Placement

  In  July  and  September  1996,  the Company  completed  a  private
placement  of  244  units,  each  unit  consisting  of  a  share   of
convertible  preferred  stock, $10,000  par  value  ("1996  Preferred
Stock"),  a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares of the Company's  common
stock  at  $2.50 per share and a unit purchase option to purchase  an
additional unit at $10,000 per unit.  The convertible preferred stock
carries  a 10% dividend and is convertible at the lesser of $1.25  or
75%  of  the average sales price for the five trading days  prior  to
conversion.   The  private placement raised  gross  proceeds  to  the
Company of approximately $2,440,000.

  Approximately $1,550,000 of the proceeds raised was  used  to  fund
the cash purchase portion of STAT.  A shareholder who participated in
the  placement  of  the private placement was paid  a  commission  of
$117,000  in 1996 and issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares  of
common  stock at $2.00 per share.  The warrant price was subsequently
reduced to $1.00 per share in January 1997.

  During 1996, 88.5 units (with accrued dividends) were converted  to
923,111 shares of common stock.  In addition, a Unit holder who  held
17 units was allowed to reduce their purchase price on their warrants
to  $1.00 per share from $2.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds
to the Company of $136,000 in November 1996.  Subsequent to year end,
an  additional  100 units have been converted through March  3,  1997
resulting in the issuance of an additional 1,388,723 shares of common
stock  in  1997.   Also  in 1997, a Unit Holder  who  held  20  Units
exercised  their Unit purchase option resulting in gross proceeds  to
the  Company of $200,000.  The Unit holder immediately converted  the
preferred  to common resulting in the issuance of 257,028  shares  of
common stock in January 1997.

1997 Private Placement

      In  January and February 1997, the Company completed a  private
placement  of  167.15 Units, each unit consisting  of  one  share  of
convertible  preferred  stock, $10,000  par  value,  "1997  Preferred
Stock",  and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common  stock  at
$1.00 per share.  The convertible preferred stock carries no dividend
if   the   underlying  common  stock  is  included  in  an  effective
registration  statement within 90 days of the date of the  agreement.
After  90  days,  if  the underlying shares are not  included  in  an
effective registration statement, the dividend rate becomes 18%.  The
Company  raised  gross  proceeds  of  $1,671,500  from  this  private
placement.   Commissions  of $99,540 were  paid  to  individuals  who
assisted  in the private placement who are also shareholders  of  the
Company.   Substantially all of the proceeds were  used  to  purchase
TherAmerica.

      Management  of the Company intends to pursue other acquisitions
in   the   future  and  anticipates  needing  cash  to  fund   future
acquisitions.   Cash  for future acquisitions is  anticipated  to  be
provided from warrant exercises and additional equity offerings.

     In November 1996, the Company entered into a one-year employment
agreement  with  Art  Shiffey, who was hired as the  National  Travel
Manager.  The agreement provides for a $70,000 annual salary and  the
grant  of options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at  $1.00
per share.

      In connection with the purchase of TherAmerica, Inc., Mr. Barry
McDonald  entered  into  a  two-year employment  agreement  with  the
Company  effective February 1, 1997.  The agreement  provides  for  a
$100,000  annual  salary  and  the issuance  of  100,000  options  to
purchase common stock at $1.00 per share vesting over three years.

      Each  employment  agreement contains provisions  which  provide
that, upon the occurrence of a "Triggering Event" (defined to include
a  non-negotiated change in ownership of between 50% and 80% of  more
of  the  outstanding shares of the Company or a non-negotiated merger
of  the Company into another corporation) during the period that such
persons  are  acting as officers or directors for  the  Company,  the
executive  will receive a lump sum payment equal to between  1  times
the  previous year's base pay and the remaining amount due under  the
contract in the event of termination other than for just cause.  Each
employment  agreement  also  contains a non-compete  agreement  which
extends for a period of one year after termination or resignation  of
the employee, and confidentiality provisions.

Stock Option Plans

      The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan in 1988 (the
"Incentive Plan").  The Incentive Plan covers an aggregate of 100,000
shares  of common stock.  The Incentive Plan is administered  by  the
Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors, of  which  Messrs.
Oberle  and Powell are members.  The Incentive Plan provides that  no
options may be granted at an exercise price less than the fair market
value  of  the  common stock of the Company on  the  date  of  grant.
Unless  otherwise specified, the options expire ten  years  from  the
date  of  grant and may not be exercised during the initial  one-year
period  from  the  date of grant.  Thereafter,  the  options  may  be
exercised  in whole or in part, depending on terms of the  particular
option.   As of March 1997, 77,500 options were outstanding  pursuant
to  the Incentive Plan at exercise prices ranging from $.63 to $2.50.
None  of  such options have been exercised.  The Company  intends  to
continue  to grant options under the Incentive Plan to the extent  of
the shares reserved thereunder.

      The 1994 Omnibus Stock Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") was adopted by
the  Company's Board of Directors effective January 1, 1994,  subject
to shareholder approval which must be received within one year of the
date  the  Company's  Board adopted such plan.  The  purpose  of  the
Omnibus Plan is to provide a vehicle under which a variety of  equity
based  awards may be granted to employees, nonaffiliated  individuals
(as  defined in the Omnibus Plan), and nonemployee directors  of  the
Company  in  order to promote the Company's development and  success.
The  Omnibus  Plan permits the award of non-qualified stock  options,
incentive  stock  options,  restricted  shares,  performance   units,
performance  shares, share appreciation rights, and  other  forms  of
awards,  including  deferrals of earned awards, as  approved  by  the
Compensation  Committee  of the Board of  Directors.   A  maximum  of
500,000 shares of common stock are reserved and available for  grants
of  any  kind  under  the Omnibus Plan.  As of  March  1997,  316,188
options  were  outstanding under the Omnibus Plan at exercise  prices
ranging from $1.34 to $6.00.

      The 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan") was adopted  by
the  Company's Board of Directors effective November 22,  1995.   The
purpose  of  the  1996  Plan is to provide a vehicle  under  which  a
variety  of  equity  based awards may be granted  to  employees,  non
affiliated individuals (as defined in the 1996 Plan), and nonemployee
directors   of  the  Company  in  order  to  promote  the   Company's
development  and success.  The 1996 Plan permits the  award  of  non-
qualified  stock options, incentive stock options, stock  awards  and
purchases, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board  of
Directors.   A  maximum  of  3,000,000 shares  of  common  stock  are
reserved  and available for grants of any kind under the  1996  Plan.
As  of March 1997, 1,393,185 options were outstanding under the  1996
Plan at exercise prices of between $.63 and $1.88.

Warrant Issuances

      In  November  1994, the Board of Directors issued  warrants  to
Messrs. Yeros and Hendricks entitling each of them to acquire 287,626
shares  of  common  stock.  The warrants have an  exercise  price  of
$1.75, the fair market value at the date of grant.  The warrants vest
immediately  and  are  exerciseable when the  Company's  consolidated
revenues, on a proforma basis, equal or exceed $20 million, or at the
end  of  seven years, whichever comes first.  The warrants expire  at
the  end of seven years if not exercised.  The Compensation Committee
of  the  Board of Directors approved the granting of these  warrants.
In  connection  with  Mr. Hendricks termination  of  employment,  his
warrant was canceled.

In July 1996, the Company issued the following warrants:

Conflicts of Interest

      The  Company  has  adopted a policy that any transactions  with
directors,  officers or entities of which they are also  officers  or
directors or in which they have a financial interest, will only be on
terms   which   would  be  reached  in  an  arms-length  transaction,
consistent with industry standards and approved by a majority of  the
disinterested  directors of the Company's Board of  Directors.   This
policy,  which is set forth in the minutes of the Board of Directors,
provides that no such transaction by the Company shall be either void
or  voidable  solely  because  of such relationship  or  interest  of
directors or officers or solely because such directors are present at
the  meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company or a  committee
thereof which approves such transaction or solely because their votes
are  counted for such purpose.  In addition, interested directors may
be  counted  in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting  of
the  Board  of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof  which
approves  such  a transaction.  No such transactions, other  than  as
described under "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS," are
currently contemplated.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

      Colorado  law provides that a corporation may not  indemnify  a
director in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal
benefit to the director or in connection with a proceeding by  or  in
the  right  of  the  corporation in which the director  was  adjudged
liable  to the corporation.  Additionally, a director shall be liable
in  certain  circumstances unless he complies with the standards  set
forth in the Colorado Business Corporation Act.

     The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company
shall  indemnify its officers, directors, employees and other  agents
to  the  fullest extent permitted by law.  The Company believes  that
indemnification  under its Articles of Incorporation is  sufficiently
broad  to  permit  indemnification under  certain  circumstances  for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").   At  present, there is no pending litigation  or  proceeding
involving  any  director, officer, employee or agent of  the  Company
where indemnification will be required or permitted.  The Company  is
not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result
in a claim for such indemnification.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act
may  be  permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons  of
the  Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,  the
Company  has  been  advised  that in the opinion  of  the  SEC,  such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act  and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 11.  SECURITY   OWNERSHIP  OF  CERTAIN  BENEFICIAL  OWNERS   AND
          MANAGEMENT

      The  following  table sets forth certain information  regarding
beneficial ownership of common stock as of March 1, 1997 by (i)  each
person  known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of  the
outstanding common stock, (ii) each director and each Named  Officer,
and  (iii)  all executive officers and directors as a group.   Shares
not  outstanding but deemed beneficially owned by virtue of the right
of  any  individual to acquire them within sixty days are treated  as
outstanding only when determining the amount and percentage of common
stock owned by such individual.  Each person has sole voting and sole
investment power with respect to the shares shown except as noted.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      The  Company  has adopted policies that any loans to  officers,
directors  and 5% or more shareholders ("Affiliates") are subject  to
approval by a majority of the disinterested directors and that future
transactions with Affiliates will be on terms no less favorable  than
could  be  obtained  from  unaffiliated parties  and  approved  by  a
majority of the disinterested directors.

                    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
International Nursing Services, Inc.
Denver, Colorado


We  have  audited  the  accompanying consolidated  balance  sheet  of
International Nursing Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December
29,  1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations  and
changes  in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years  ended
December   29,  1996  and  December  31,  1995.   These  consolidated
financial  statements  are the responsibility of  the  management  of
International   Nursing   Services,  Inc.  and   Subsidiaries.    Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the   audit   to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether   the
consolidated  financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An
audit  also  includes  assessing the accounting principles  used  and
significant  estimates made by management, as well as evaluating  the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion, the consolidated financial statements  referred  to
above  present  fairly,  in all material respects,  the  consolidated
financial  position  of  International  Nursing  Services,  Inc.  and
Subsidiaries,  as  of  December 29, 1996, and the  results  of  their
operations and their cash flows for the years December 29,  1996  and
December  31,  1995 in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming  that  the  Company will continue as a  going  concern.   As
further discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the  Company has incurred operating losses for the past several years
and  has a deficit in working capital which raises substantial  doubt
about   its  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.    Current
management's  plans in regards to this matter are also  discussed  in
Note  1.   The  consolidated financial statements do not include  any
adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

  Acquisition of equipment under capital lease was $56,000 in 1996.

  During  1996,  $400,000 of receivables and $10,000 of fixed  assets
  were  acquired  in  business combination through  the  issuance  of
  476,383  shares  of  common  stock  with  an  equivalent  value  of

  assets of $1,116,000 has been allocated to goodwill.

  During  1996, all shares of the 12% preferred stock outstanding  at
  December  31,  1995  were  automatically converted  into  1,173,631
  shares of common stock.

  fee for preferred stock placements in 1996.

  The  Company  recorded  imputed dividends  on  preferred  stock  of
  $1,737,000 associated with the 1996 private placements (Note 12)


                INTERNATIONAL NURSING SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                             Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

International  Nursing Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the  Company)
provide  temporary  nurses (registered and/or licensed),  therapists,
nurse  assistants, and other caregivers to nursing homes, other long-
term health-care facilities, hospitals, and private residences.

During  1996,  the  Company  adopted a 52-53  week  fiscal  year  for
financial reporting purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

The   accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts of International Nursing Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, National Care Resources - Colorado, Inc. National  Care
Resources - New York, Inc., National Care Resources - Texas, Inc. and
JJ  Care  Resources,  Inc.  All intercompany transactions  have  been
eliminated.

Checks Issued in Excess of Bank Balance

As  disclosed  in  Note 5, the Company assigns its  receivables  with
recourse  to financial institutions.  These assignments are done  and
cash is received weekly.  The Company in anticipation of this funding
issues  checks which are in excess of recorded deposits.  Checks  are
never issued in excess of the expected funding amounts.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that  effect the reported  amounts  of  assets  and
liabilities  and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities  at
the  date  of  the financial statements and the reported  amounts  of
revenues  and  expenses during the reporting period.  Actual  results
could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The  Company maintains cash in depository accounts which,  at  times,
may  exceed FDIC insurance limits.  At December 29, 1996 balances  in
excess of FDIC limits were approximately $102,000.

Financial  instruments  which  potentially  subject  the  Company  to
concentrations   of  credit  risk  consist  primarily   of   accounts
receivable.   The  Company  grants credit to  health-care  facilities
primarily  in  Colorado, New York, and Texas; however, travel  nurses
are  made  available  throughout  the  United  States.   The  Company
periodically  performs  credit analysis and  monitors  the  financial
condition of its clients in order to minimize credit risk.

Both  the  supplemental  staffing services  and  home  care  staffing
services are subject to third party reimbursement arrangements.  Such
third-party payers maintain standards which providers must satisfy to
remain  eligible for participation and reimbursement; thus a  certain
portion  of  the Company's future operating results are dependent  on
its  ability to remain eligible for participation in such third-party
payer  programs.  Approximately 6% and 12% of the Company's  revenues
are  dependent  upon  the  Medicare and Medicaid  third-party  payers
programs for the years ended December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively.

Financial Instruments

The  carrying  value  of the Company's accounts receivable,  accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the
short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Due to current interest rates available to the Company for debt being
similar  to  rates  on the Company's remaining maturities,  the  fair
value of existing debt approximates its carrying value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue  is  recognized  when  services  are  rendered  at  the   net
realizable amounts expected to be received from payers, patients  and
others.   Amounts reimbursed by certain payers of healthcare services
are  subject  to  examination and adjustment.  These adjustments  are
accrued  throughout the year and adjusted in future  periods  as  the
final  settlements are determined.  At December 29, 1996, the Company
has  recorded  a  liability of $535,000 for the amount  due  for  the
difference  between  actual costs and costs to be  reimbursed.   This
liability was recorded as a reduction in revenue.

Income Taxes

The  Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based  on
the  differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities  and
their  reported amounts in the financial statements that will  result
in  taxable  or  deductible amounts in future years.   The  Company's
temporary  differences  result primarily from  the  cash  to  accrual
transition  adjustment  due to a required change  from  the  cash  to
accrual basis and depreciation and amortization.

Loss Per Common Share

Loss  per  common share is based upon the weighted average number  of
shares  outstanding during each of the respective years.  The  common
stock equivalents are not included in the computation as their effect
would be anti-dilutive.

Property and Equipment

Property   and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost.   Depreciation   is
calculated  using the straight-line method over the estimated  useful
lives of the related assets which range from five to seven years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible  assets are stated at cost, and consist of goodwill,  non-
compete  agreements and acquisition costs.  Goodwill and  non-compete
agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over  fifteen
and three years, respectively.

Acquisition  costs represents costs incurred in connection  with  the
Company's proposed acquisitions.  Acquisition costs will be  included
in  the purchase price of the acquisitions if successful, or expensed
in operations if the acquisitions are unsuccessful.

The  Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 121 in 1995.  Under  SFAS
121,  the  Company  reviews  its  long-lived  assets  for  impairment
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered.  The Company looks
primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows of its acquisition in
its  assessment  of  whether or not goodwill has been  impaired.   At
December  31, 1995, the Company determined an impairment of  goodwill
was  appropriate  (Note  2).  The impairment was  computed  based  on
future discounted cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain  amounts  in the 1995 consolidated financial statements  have
been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

Continued Existence

The  Company has suffered recurring losses for the past several years
and  incurred  a  net loss for the year ended December  29,  1996  of
$1,207,000.   In addition, the Company had a working capital  deficit
of  $1,338,000.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Management's  plans  in regard to these matters  include  pursuing  a
number  of alternatives for additional financing which may include  a
public  and/or  private  offering of the Company's  securities.   The
Company is currently holding discussions with investment bankers  and
financial institutions related to an offering of securities  and  new
debt financing.  No agreements have been reached to date.  There  can
be  no  assurance that the Company will undertake such financings  or
that  the Company will be able to obtain any additional financing  on
terms acceptable to the Company.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments  relating  to the recoverability  and  classification  of
assets   carrying  amounts  or  the  amount  and  classification   of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be  unable  to
continue as a going concern.


Note 2 - Acquisitions

Ellis Health Services, Inc.

In  April 1996, the Company signed an amended Asset Purchase and Sale
Agreement  to  acquire certain assets of Ellis Health Services,  Inc.
("Ellis").  The purchase price for the Ellis assets was paid  through
the  issuance of 256,250 shares of the Company's common  stock.   The
Company  agreed to guarantee the value of the stock issued  at  $4.25
per share on the first 12,000 shares sold each month and $4 per share
thereafter.  If the price at which the former owner of Ellis sold the
common  stock was less than the guaranteed value, the Company  agreed
to issue additional stock or cash to make up the difference.  Through
December  29, 1996, the former owner of Ellis sold 284,453 shares  of
the  Company's  common stock for proceeds of approximately  $600,000.
Additionally,  the Company paid $60,000 in cash to the former  owner.
Due  to  the  deficiency in realized value, the Company  has  accrued
$500,000  as a liability at December 29, 1996 which will be  paid  to
the  former  owner  of Ellis in either stock or  cash.   An  officer,
director and shareholder of the Company transferred 100,000 shares of
common  stock  to  the former owner of Ellis to cover  a  portion  of
deficiency.   The  shares were sold in 1997 by the former  owner  for
proceeds  of  approximately  $100,000  which  will  be  recorded   as
additional  paid in capital in 1997.  The acquisition  was  accounted
for  as  a purchase with the result of operations included since  the
date  of  acquisition.  The purchase of $1,059,000 was  allocated  to
Goodwill and is being amortized over fifteen years.

STAT Health Care Services, Inc.

The  Company  acquired certain assets of STAT Health  Care  Services,
Inc.  ("STAT") in July 1996.  The purchase price was paid  $1,550,000
in cash, 125,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $1.88 per share
with  an  imputed value of $92,500 using the black scholes  valuation
method,  and 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued  at
$1.88 of the date of acquisition.  The acquisition was accounted  for
by  purchase with the result of operations included since August 1996
(date  of  acquisition).   The  purchase  price  of  $2,145,000   was
allocated to goodwill.

A  shareholder  who  participated  in  the  preferred  stock  private
placement in which the proceeds were used to fund the cash portion of
the  STAT  acquisition was paid a commission of $117,000 in 1996  and
issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at  $2.00
per  share.  The warrant price was subsequently reduced to $1.00  per
share in January 1997.

TherAmerica

In  January  1997,  the Company acquired certain assets  of  Colorado
Therapists   On  Call,  Inc.  ("CTOC")  and  Professional  Healthcare
Providers,  Inc.  ("PHP"), together doing  business  under  the  name
Theramerica.    The   Company  paid  $2,000,000  cash   and   assumed
approximately $175,000 of liabilities for the acquisition  which  was
effective January 1, 1997.  The Company accounted for the transaction
as a purchase.

The  purchase  price  was  allocated to the  assets  based  upon  the
following estimated fair values at the acquisition date:

December  29,  1996  and December 31, 1995, respectively.   In  1995,
management  of  the  Company  assessed several  factors  relating  to
goodwill  recorded  on two acquisitions made in 1994  and  determined
that an impairment of $1,300,000 was appropriate.

Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

Note 5 - Advances Under Financing Agreements

The   Company  has  entered  into  an  agreement  with  a   financial
institution   whereby  all  of  the  Company's  subsidiaries   assign
substantially  all  of  the subsidiaries' accounts  receivable  (with
recourse)  to  the  financial  institution.   The  Company   receives
advances  of 85% on eligible receivables and pays a fee of  3%  above
the  bank's  prime rate (11.5% at December 29, 1996)  on  outstanding
advances limited to $5,000,000.  The outstanding balance owed to this
financial   institution  at  December  29,  1996,  was  approximately
$3,318,000.   Fees paid to this financial institution  for  the  year
ended  December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995, approximated $441,000
and  $401,000, respectively.  This agreement can be terminated by the
financial institution upon thirty days notice to the Company.

The  Company is unable to reasonably estimate the accounts  that  are
ultimately  charged  back to the Company and therefore,  the  Company
presents the advance arrangements as debt.


Note 6 - Capital Leases

The  Company  leases  a  portion of their  computer  equipment.   the
Company leases the equipment under various leases all that have a  36
month  term  and  contain a bargain purchase  option.   Property  and
equipment  includes approximately $150,000 of leased equipment.   The
future minimum lease payment as of December 29, 1996 are as follows:

</TABLE>

Litigation

In  1997,  a  former patient filed a complaint in Texas  against  the
Company  alleging  that  an employee/therapist  of  the  Company  was
negligent.   The Company believes that there was no wrong  doing  and
intends  to  defend  itself  vigorously  against  the  charges.   The
client/hospital  where the employee was working at the  time  of  the
alleged  incident  paid  the  plaintiff $100,000  in  settlement  and
release  from  further claims.  The client/hospital has now  demanded
that   the   Company  indemnify  them  for  the   $100,000   as   the
client/hospital alleges this is stipulated in a contract between  the
Company  and the client/hospital.  The Company does not believe  that
it  has a contractual obligation to indemnify the client/hospital  in
this  situation and intends to vigorously defend against this demand.
The  Company believes that it will not incur any material  losses  in
excess of accrued amounts.

Ellis Guarantee

The  Company purchased Ellis Health Services, Inc. by issuing 256,250
shares of the Company's common stock and guaranteeing that the former
owner  of Ellis would realize at least $4.25 per share upon the  sale
of  the first 12,000 shares each month and 4.00 per share thereafter.
The Company agreed to issue additional shares or stock to make up any
shortfall and the Chairman and CEO of the Company pledged 100,000  of
his  personal shares as collateral.  At December 29, 1996, the former
owner  of  Ellis had a shortfall of approximately $500,000  from  the
sales  of  stock to that date.  In January 1997, the former owner  of
Ellis  exercised  his  right  to take the  security  pledged  by  the
Chairman  and  CEO  of the Company.  The Board of  Directors  of  the
Company approved the issuance to the Chairman and CEO 100,000  shares
of  common  stock  and options to purchase 250,000 shares  of  common
stock  at $1.00 per share to compensate the Chairman and CEO for  the
loss  of  his  personal shares.  The $1.00 per share represented  the
fair  market value of the shares at the date of the grant.  In  March
1997,  the  former owner of Ellis presented a demand  letter  to  the
Company  requesting immediate payment of the remaining short fall  of
approximately $400,000.  The letter also stated that if  the  Company
is  unable to pay such amount by April 7, 1997 legal action  will  be
pursued  with  the  former owner seeking recovery of  the  shortfall,
interest,  attorney fees, and other related expenses  incurred.   The
Company has begun negotiations with the former owner in an attempt to
resolve this matter.


Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity

Public Offering

In  September 1994, the Company completed an equity offering  whereby
the  Company  sold  225,000  units at $23.50   per  unit,  each  unit
consisting  of  two  shares of 12%  cumulative convertible  preferred
stock,  one  share  of  common stock, and three warrants  (the  "1994
Warrants")   to   purchase  common  stock.   The   Company   received
approximately $4,034,000,  net of offering costs of $1,253,000.   The
preferred  stock  is convertible into 2.5  shares  of  the  Company's
common  stock  at  any time and will convert automatically  into  the
Company's  common stock if the closing bid price of the common  stock
equals   or   exceeds  $6.00   for  10   consecutive  trading   days.
Subsequent  to  December  31, 1995, all of the  preferred  stock  and
interest  automatically  converted into 1,173,631  shares  of  common
stock.

The  1994 Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of common
stock  at  an  exercise price of $5.00 and expire in September  1999.
The  1994   Warrants  may be redeemed by the  Company  for  $.25  per
warrant  upon  30  day's  written notice at  any  time  on  or  after
September  12,  1995, or earlier if the closing  bid  price  for  the
common  stock  equals  or exceeds $7.50  for ten consecutive  trading
days.

1996 Private Placement

In July and September 1996, the Company completed a private placement
of  244  units,  each  unit  consisting of  a  share  of  convertible
preferred  stock,  $10,000  par value  ("1996  Preferred  Stock"),  a
warrant  to  purchase 8,000 shares of the Company's common  stock  at
$2.50  per share and a unit purchase option to purchase an additional
unit at $10,000 per unit.  The convertible preferred stock carries  a
10%  dividend and is convertible at the lesser of $1.25 or 75% of the
average  sales  price for the five trading days prior to  conversion.
The  private  placement  raised gross  proceeds  to  the  Company  of
approximately $2,440,000.

Approximately $1,550,000 of the proceeds raised was used to fund  the
cash purchase portion of STAT.  A shareholder who participated in the
placement of the private placement was paid a commission of  $117,000
in  1996  and issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares  of  common
stock at $2.00 per share.  The warrant price was subsequently reduced
to $1.00 per share in January 1997.

During  1996,  88.5 units (with accrued dividends) were converted  to
923,111 shares of common stock.  In addition, a Unit holder who  held
17 units was allowed to reduce their purchase price on their warrants
to  $1.00 per share from $2.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds
to the Company of $136,000 in November 1996.  Subsequent to year end,
an  additional  100 units have been converted through March  3,  1997
resulting in the issuance of an additional 1,388,723 shares of common
stock  in  1997.   Also  in 1997, a Unit Holder  who  held  20  Units
exercised  their Unit purchase option resulting in gross proceeds  to
the  Company of $200,000.  The Unit holder immediately converted  the
preferred  to common resulting in the issuance of 257,028  shares  of
common stock in January 1997.

1997 Private Placement

In  January  and  February  1997, the  Company  completed  a  private
placement  of  167.15 Units, each unit consisting  of  one  share  of
convertible  preferred  stock, $10,000  par  value,  "1997  Preferred
Stock",  and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common  stock  at
$1.00 per share.  The convertible preferred stock carries no dividend
if   the   underlying  common  stock  is  included  in  an  effective
registration  statement within 90 days of the date of the  agreement.
After  90  days,  if  the underlying shares are not  included  in  an
effective registration statement, the dividend rate becomes 18%.   In
addition,  the preferred stock contains a redemption feature  whereby
if  the  underlying  common  stock which  the  preferred  shares  are
convertible  into  is  not  effectively  registered  by  the   second
anniversary date of each respective unit, the holder at their  option
may  redeem  the preferred shares for $10,000 back plus  all  accrued
unpaid  dividends.  The Company raised gross proceeds  of  $1,671,500
from  this  private placement.  Commissions of $99,540 were  paid  to
individuals  who  assisted  in the private  placement  who  are  also
shareholders of the Company.  Substantially all of the proceeds  were
used to purchase TherAmerica (Note 2).

Stock Options and Warrants

In  May  1988,  the  Company adopted an incentive stock  option  plan
(ISO),  which  provides for the grant of options representing  up  to
100,000   shares  of  the  Company's common  stock  to  officers  and
employees of the Company upon terms and conditions determined by  the
Board  of  Directors.  Options granted under the plan  are  generally
exercisable immediately and expire up to ten years after the date  of
grant.   Options are granted at a price equal to the market value  at
the  date of grants, or in the case of a stockholder who owns greater
than  10%  of  the outstanding stock of the Company, the options  are
granted  at  110%  of the fair market value.  At  December  29,  1996
options  to  purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at between  $1.20
and  $2.50 remain outstanding.  These options expire between 2002 and
2004.

In  1994, the Board of Directors established, the Omnibus Stock  Plan
of  1994  (1994  Plan) and reserved 500,000  shares of the  Company's
common stock for grant under terms which could extend through January
2004.  All  options  and warrants issued under  this  plan  are  non-
qualified.   Grants  under the 1994 Plan may be  to  employees,  non-
employee directors, and selected consultants to the Company, and  may
take  the form of non-qualified or incentive stock options, not lower
than  50% of fair market value.  To date, the Company has not  issued
any  options below fair market value at the date of grant.  Incentive
stock  options and options to directors may be granted only  at  fair
market  value,  except  that  incentive  stock  options  granted   to
employees  who  are  also  owners of 10% or  more  of  the  Company's
outstanding common stock must be at prices no lower than 110% of fair
market value.

In November 1994,  the Board of Directors issued 575,252  warrants to
two  officers,  directors, and stockholders.  The  warrants  have  an
exercise price of $1.75,  the fair market value at the date of grant.
The  warrants vest immediately and are exercisable when the Company's
consolidated  revenues,  on a proforma basis,  equal  or  exceed  $20
million,  or  at the end of seven years, whichever comes  first.   In
1995, 287,626 of the warrants were canceled.

In  1996,  the  Board of Directors established the 1996 Stock  Option
Plan  (the "1996 Plan") with terms similar to the 1994 Plan.   During
1996,  the  Company issued 300,000 options to purchase the  Company's
common  stock  at $1.88 expiring in 2006.  The Board of Directors  of
the  Company  reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for  issuance
under the 1996 Plan.

Also  during 1996, the Company canceled and reissued certain  options
to  certain  officers  and  directors of  the  Company.   Options  to
purchase  224,187 shares of common stock at exercise  prices  ranging
from  $1.20  to  $2.75  which were issued  to  certain  officers  and
directors  under  the 1994 Plan were canceled.  Options  to  purchase
239,437  shares of common stock at $1.88 (which represented the  fair
market value of the common stock at the time of grant) were issued as
replacement for the canceled options.  The additional 15,250  options
were issued to replace the loss in value for those option holders who
held options at exercise prices which were less than $1.88.

Stock Options and Warrants

In  addition,  in  January 1997, the Company  canceled  and  reissued
150,000  options to purchase the Company's common stock to an officer
of  the  Company.  The options were originally exercisable  at  $1.88
(100,000  options) and $3.25 (50,000 options).  The  option  exercise
price  was reset to $1.00 which represented the fair market value  of
the options at the time of the grant.

Subsequent  to  year  end,  the Company granted  443,748  options  to
purchase  common  stock  at $1.00 per share under  the  "1996  Plan",
133,609 of which were granted to officers and directors.

The  following  is summary of options and warrants  granted,  all  of
which expire at various times through 2004.

(1)    Represents option to purchase an additional unit identical  to
  the  Unit  issued  in the July/September private  placement.   Each
  $10.000  unit  consists  of  one  share  of  convertible  preferred
  (convertible at the lesser of $1.25 or 75% of the closing price  on
  the five trading days prior to conversion) and a warrant to purchase
  8,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share for three years.


The  Corporation  has  adopted  the  disclosure-only  provisions   of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation."  Accordingly, no  compensation  cost  has
been  recognized  for the stock option plans.  Had compensation  cost
for the Corporation's two stock option plans been determined based on
the  fair value at the grant date for awards in 1995 consistent  with
the  provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net  earnings  and
earnings  per share would have been reduced to the pro forma  amounts
indicated below:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using  the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing model  with  the  following
weighted-average assumptions used for grants: dividend yield  of  0%;
expected  volatility  of 93%; discount rate of  11.5%;  and  expected
lives of 10 years.

Dividends

In  1995,  the  Board of Directors declared a stock dividend  on  the
preferred stock to be paid in common stock.  Under the terms  of  the
preferred stock, if the Company does not have $750,000 cash  or  cash
equivalents then the dividend may be paid by issuing common stock  at
the  rate  of  $1.80  per  share  annualized.   The  Company  accrued
dividends  at  the $1.80 level for 1995 as the Company did  not  have
$750,000  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents.   The  dividends  on  the
preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $876,000 of
which  $435,000  was  paid  in common  stock  of  the  Company.   The
remaining dividends of $441,000 were accrued at year end and recorded
as a dividend payable in common stock.

During  January 1996, the outstanding 12% preferred stock at December
31,  1995 was automatically converted into common stock.  All  unpaid
dividends  on  that preferred stock were void and no longer  payable.
Since  the  dividends were previously reflected in the  statement  of
operations  as  a  component  of the net loss  applicable  to  common
stockholders,  the  recovery  of  the  accrued  dividends  has   been
reflected  as  a  credit in determining the net  loss  applicable  to
common  stockholders in 1996 on the statement of  operations  in  the
accompanying financial statements.


Regulation S Offering

On  November 22, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved
the  issuance  of  one  million shares of Common  Stock  to  non-U.S.
persons  at  a cash purchase price of $.50 per share in  an  offering
made  pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act.  $200,000 of these
subscriptions  were  paid  on December 15, 1995  and,  after  certain
wiring delays, $300,000 on January 3, 1996.

Stock for Services

As  of  December 8, 1995, the Company engaged the services  of  three
consultants  to  provide the Company with various  business  services
related   to   the  expansion  of  the  Company's  business.    These
consultants  were  issued an aggregate of 500,000  shares  of  Common
Stock   pursuant   to  transactions  exempt  from  the   registration
requirements  of the Act for services rendered prior to  December  8,
1995.   The  consultants  were also issued warrants  to  purchase  an
aggregate  of 100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.00  per
share  for  services  to  be rendered after December  8,  1995.   The
warrants expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance or  upon
termination  or breach of the consulting agreements.  The  stock  was
valued at $2 which was the bid at the date of the agreement issuance.

In  July  1995 the Company issued 75,000 shares of stock for services
to  an  individual for consulting related services.   The  stock  was
valued  at  $1.24  which represented the bid price  at  the  date  of
issuance.

Stock Payoff of Note Payable

In  February 1996, the Company paid off a note payable consisting  of
principal  of  $25,000 and accrued interest payable of  approximately
$23,000  with issuance of 13,700 shares of common stock.  The  common
stock was valued at $3.50 which represented the fair market value  of
the common stock at the time of the payoff.

Settlement of Stock for Services

In  September  1996,  the Company settled a  dispute  with  a  former
investment  banker who claimed that the Company owed  the  investment
banker  approximately $53,000.  The Company settled  the  dispute  by
issuing 20,133 shares of common stock.


Note 9 - Significant Fourth Quarter Adjustments

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company recorded the following
adjustments:

                                            $573,000
</TABLE>


Note 10 - Income Taxes

The  temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and  their
financial  reporting amounts that give rise to a deferred  tax  asset
are  primarily due to a cash to accrual transition adjustment due  to
the  Company being required to adopt the accrual basis for income tax
filing purposes.

The  components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) in  the  balance
sheet,  which  are  fully limited by a valuation  allowance,  are  as
follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                                          <C>
  Accounting method differences            $  281,000
  Net operating loss carryforward           1,676,000
                                            1,957,000
  Less valuation allowance                 (1,957,000)
                                              
  Net deferred tax asset                   $        -  
</TABLE>

The  deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased $34,000  during
1996.

The  Company  has  incurred  net losses  for  federal  tax  reporting
purposes  since inception of approximately $4,934,000.  The  tax  net
operating  loss  (NOL) carryforwards expire in  years  2003   through
2010.   The  utilization  of $4,718,000 of the  NOL  carryforward  is
limited to $469,000 on an annual basis due to an effective change  in
control  which  occurred as a result of the 1996  private  placement.
Due  to the existence of net operating losses incurred by the Company
which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as  a going concern, the Company has concluded it is more likely than
not  that  it will not realize its deferred tax asset and accordingly
has established a valuation allowance of $1,957,000.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

On  January  28,  1997,  the  Company  executed  a  convertible  note
receiving  proceeds of $1,000,000 from a shareholder of the  Company.
Interest accrues on the note at 12.5% and the note matures on January
27,  1998.   If  the note is not paid off by May 28, 1997,  the  note
becomes  convertible to common stock until January 27,  1998  at  the
lower of $1.50 or 65% of prior five trading days closing price of the
common  stock.   The  proceeds of the note  were  used  to  fund  the
acquisition costs related to TherAmerica.

Note 12 - Loss Per Common Share

In  accordance  with  the  SEC's position  on  preferred  stock  with
convertible  features that are in the money at the time of  issuance,
the  Company  has  imputed a value associated  with  such  conversion
features  and  has recorded the value as a discount on the  preferred
stock.   The Company amortizes the imputed discount on the  preferred
stock  over  the period from issuance of the preferred stock  to  the
earliest period at which the preferred stock becomes convertible.  As
the   Company's  1996  preferred  stock  issuances  are   immediately
convertible, the Company has amortized the entire imputed discount as
a  component  of dividends on preferred stock.  The Company  recorded
additional  dividends  to  preferred  stockholders  of  approximately
$1,737,000 for the year ended December 29, 1996, which represents  an
imputed  increase  to  the  dividend  yield  and  not  a  contractual
obligation on the part of the Company to pay such imputed dividends.

Loss  per  share applicable to common stockholders is  calculated  as
follows:
