                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  
  
                                  December 31, 1996  
  
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
======================
THREE MONTHS ENDING DECEMBER 27, 1996
=====================================

Note:
Acadia National Health Systems purchased the assets of Physician 
Resources, Inc. on September 27, 1996, and took over the operations 
of that company as of September 28, the first day of the fiscal 
quarter and year.  It did not conduct operations prior to the 
beginning of the quarter ended December 31, 1996.  All activities 
for the quarter are compared with the operations of Physician 
Resources for the same quarter a year earlier.  Comparative results
have not been adjusted for the difference between Physician Resources'
calendar quarters ending in a calendar month end and Acadia's fiscal 
quarters ending on the last Friday of a calendar month.

     Financial Accounting Standard No. 96 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" which requires that no later than 1996, companies change 
from the deferred method to the liability method of accounting 
for income taxes, has not been adopted by the Company for 1996. 
Implementation of the Standard is not expected to have any 
material affect on the Company's financial condition or results 
of operations.  

SALES
Sales for the period of $195,339 were up $54,258 or 39.0% from the 
corresponding period in 1995.  This was principally due to a 169% growth 
in the Waivered Foster Care program.  Additionally, billing service for 
three new medical practices contributed to sales.  There were no software 
or franchise sales during the period.
                         
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses were $19,052 less during the period, principally 
because Physician Resources paid its owners a management fee in the last 
calendar quarter to zero full-year earnings, a practice that is not 
appropriate for Acadia.  Partially offsetting these savings were 
increases in depreciation, office supplies and salaries & wages.

<PAGE>  8

OPERATING INCOME
Operating income for the quarter was $71,980, compared to a loss of 
$2,330 for the comparable quarter in 1995.  The improvement of $74,310 
was principally due to increased sales and elimination of the management 
fee.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Non-operating expenses increased 282% to $17,470.  The Company incurred 
non-recurring expenses of $10,644 associated with the software conversion 
and for consulting services related to becoming a reporting company.  
Interest expense increased 61% to $6,826 as a result of higher credit 
line balances.

INCOME TAXES
Physician Resources was an S Corporation and incurred no tax liability.  
Acadia is a C Corporation that accrued $20,000 combined State and Federal 
tax liability for current quarter earnings.

NET INCOME
Acadia earnings of $34,510 were $0.0092 per share on 3,733,987 outstanding 
common shares.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Accounts Receivable increased $254,738 from December 31, 1995, to December 
27, 1996, principally due to the rapid growth of the Foster Home accounts 
receivable financing program.  During this same period, the Company added 
$65,651 in property, plant and equipment, principally computer systems 
and related equipment.  Acadia spent $102,819 in Corporate organization 
costs and $10,644 non-recurring costs associated with new computer networks, 
software conversion, preparation of a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular 
(UFOC) and startup of Acadia as a reporting company.  Nearly all 
of the Company's existing $350,000 line of credit has been expended.  
Anticipated Acadia market activities and a planned acquisition will place 
additional demands on liquidity during the remainder of the year.  
Management is currently discussing an expanded line of credit with its 
principal lender, Peoples Heritage Bank.  The proposed loan will be secured 
by the personal guarantee of Thomas N. Hackett and will be used to fund 
working capital, increased organizational infrastructure and a potential 
acquisition.  The loan, which is expected to be concluded in the third 
quarter of FY 1997 (by June 1997), will bridge to a stock issue anticipated 
in the fourth quarter of FY 1997 or the first quarter of FY 1998.  The 
timing and amounts of these financing actions are consistent with Acadia's 
business plan and its strategy of using short term debt to fund operations 
ahead of periodic stock offerings.

OTHER INFORMATION
=================

SOFTWARE CONVERSION AND PREPARATION FOR EXPANDED SALES ACTIVITY
During the first quarter, Acadia converted billing software from an 
obsolete Unix-based system to state-of-the-art data base technology and the 
Microsoft NT server.  This system will enable Acadia to offer clients a 
variety of its own products and also Microsoft products running on the 
network.  The conversion and training ramp up were necessary first steps, 
learning internally in anticipation of offering these technologies to 
outside clients. During the second quarter, the Company is continuing this 
process and will be offering the software for sale.  The software will be 
an important part of its franchise system offering as well.  The Company 
will derive significant income late in FY 1997 from the sale and rental of 
these software products under agreements with its software vendors.  
As of February 7, 1997, three major software sales are in the late stages 
of negotiation.

UNIFORM FRANCHISE OFFERING CIRCULAR (UFOC)
The Company is preparing a UFOC for filing with the FTC in the second 
quarter and anticipates selling Acadia franchises during in the third 
quarter.  Franchisees will be offered the opportunity to market Acadia's 
billing systems technology, other brand name products and related support 
services to tertiary markets throughout the country.

MAJOR ACQUISITION
The Company will initiate discussions consiering a major acquisition that 
will greatly strengthen the product line.

SALES TRENDS
Trends in Acadia's existing business lines, medical billing services and 
billing & receivable financing for waivered foster home care, are positive, 
with 1996 growth anticipated continuing at an expanded rate throughout 
FY 1997.  Software sales, franchising and related support services are 
expected to result in major revenue and earnings increases in FY 1997 and 
beyond.  A unique franchising structure will enable the Company to grow 
at a network pace that is much faster than the growth of individual 
operating units.

in 1971 as the financial services arm of Advantage Business Services.  
In 1990 bookkeeping and doctor billing were separated as Bookkeeping 
Resources, Inc.  In 1992 doctor billing was moved to a new company, 
Physician Resources, Inc., and commercial bookkeeping operations ceased.  
Physician Resources provided practice management, invoicing and accounts 
receivable collection services for doctors offices, foster homes and 
hospital-based practices.  During this entire period, the company was 
not focussed on growth, but concentrated on quality operations and 
long-term business relationships.  In the summer of 1996, the principals 
formed Acadia National Health Systems, a Colorado corporation that will 
be the legal platform for a nationwide Physician Practice Management 
Company (PPMC).  The assets of Physician Resources were acquired by 
Acadia in September 1996.  Personnel, procedures and experiences gained 
in 25 years of medical billing & practice management, combined with 
experience in software & hardware sales and coupled with innovative 
franchising methods will allow Acadia to become a national competitor.

The doctor billing service has undergone several technical transitions 
since its inception.  In the early days the service supported physicians 
who wished to avoid an elaborate business function or complex computer 
systems.  As computer systems became simpler and easier to use, the 
company found other value added services to retain clients.  This led 
to practice management consulting and, in the last few years, electronic 
billing and accounts receivable financing.  Many health service payers, 
led by Medicare and Medicaid, have begun to require electronic billing 
to reduce processing costs.  Electronic billing brought the added benefit 
of improved reliability and timeliness of third party payments.  This 
improved medical practice asset utilization and profitability.  Since 
electronic billing requires complex data modalities and sophisticated 
software procedures, it is more adaptable to a high volume billing service 
than to a single medical practitioner.  This was a very successful service 
for Physician Resources and continues to grow briskly within Acadia.  
The company just completed expanding its state-of-the-art full-featured 
software system that will become a key component for a national billing 
service.

In January 1995,  Physician Resources began billing for foster homes under 
guidelines and funding established by the Maine Department of Human 
Services.  This electronic billing service offers clients well-regulated 
cash flow and differentiates Acadia as the only billing service in Maine 
to finance provider receivables.  As a result, it has obtained new business 
through referral without major marketing effort.  The waivered foster care 
approach is undergoing explosive growth nationally and the potential 
national revenue from this and other small health providers is significant.

OBJECTIVES, NEAR-TERM

On January 13, 1997, Acadia's SEC application Form 10SB was effectuated.  
Currently, the Company is awaiting NASD acceptance pursuant to the filing 
of a Form 211 and accompanying Information and Discloure Statement, and 
hopes to begin trading on the OTC market during the second quarter of FY 
1997.  This will allow the Company to approach capital markets and enable 
it to position itself for the raising of equity needed to fuel growth.  
Access to public markets is critical, since the growth rates will be too 
rapid to fund through earnings or debt.

The founder and CEO of Acadia, Thomas N. Hackett, also founded a nationally 
franchised payroll processing company, Advantage Business Services.  Since 
franchising began thirteen years ago, Advantage has grown to become the 
eighth largest payroll company in the United States.  Although Hackett is 
not active in Advantage on a daily basis, his many years of managing PRI 
and his experiences in franchising a financial/data processing service are 
directly transferable to medical billing.  Acadia will complete franchising 
documents for FTC compliance during the third quarter of FY 1997.

Senior professional staff will be added in marketing, compliance management,
operations and finance to prepare the Company for regional and then national 
presence.  Since practice management is closely tied to medical billing, 
Acadia will increase its affiliation with practice management consultants 
in various parts of the country.  These services will complement billing 
services and eventually lead Acadia to become a full service PPMC.

Acadia completed implementation of significantly expanded software 
technology in the first quarter of FY 1997.  This system includes the 
capability of: automated patient appointment scheduling, electronic charting 
features, electronic billing, direct funds transfer and distributed data 
processing with multiple location data entry and discrete paper copy 
printing, unlimited client accounts and patient census, all running on the 
NT platform.  Later, full service computerized patient charting systems, 
document management systems and state of the art dictation technology will 
be added.  These attributes will provide the technological base that will 
reinforce the company as a major player in tertiary markets and a 
clearinghouse for franchised medical billing activities.

OBJECTIVES, LONG-TERM

Acadia will create a franchised network of local entrepreneurs and other 
companies to market full service Physician Practice Management (PPM) 
services regionally and then nationally.  Franchisees (Associates) will 
sell practice management, billing, accounts receivable financing, accounting 
and office systems services to  doctors, foster homes and other small and 
medium sized health care providers.  They will also seek joint venture and 
strategic partner alliances.  Acadia's home office will provide centralized 
and decentralized professional and data support, training, counseling, cash 
control and other management services for Franchisees (Associates).  Much of 
the franchising support, processing, and cash management techniques will be 
drawn from Hackett's experience in the payroll industry.

Besides franchising, the Company will grow through acquisitions, joint 
ventures and internal expansion.  Many smaller billing services and some 
practice management consultancies are ill equipped to deal with the changes 
occurring in the health care market and the regulatory environment.  Some 
will reach a point of personal and/or financial distress before they seek 
help.  These are candidates for affiliation with Acadia.
