              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  ADJUSTMENTS

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary
(which are of a normal recurring nature) to present fairly the Company's
financial position as of December 23, 1995, and the results of operations and
cash flows for the three and six month periods ended December 23, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.  Information included in the condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 24, 1995 has been derived from the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended June 24, 1995 ("1995 Form 10-K").  The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company's
1995 Form 10-K.

2.  FISCAL YEAR

During fiscal 1995 the Company commenced utilizing a 52/53-week fiscal year
ending on the last Saturday in June.  Monthly periods are accounted for in a
four-week, four-week, five-week sequence, with each quarter consisting of 13
weeks.  All references to years relate to fiscal years rather than calendar
years.

3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended December 23, 1995
and December 31, 1994 are based on the weighted average number of common and
common stock equivalent shares outstanding.  Certain stock options were not
included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect would be
antidilutive.  Earnings per share assuming full dilution are the same as primary
earnings per share.

4.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On November 9, 1994, the Company sold substantially all of the fixed and
intangible assets of its temporary nursing services business for $814,000 in
cash.  The related net liabilities for this discontinued operation are included
in the balance sheet under the caption "Net liabilities of discontinued
operations".  The balance remaining unpaid at December 23, 1995, relates to
various state and local tax and payroll issues that have not been finalized.

                                       6

 
5.  REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

On April 7, 1995, the Company issued 426,794 shares of its voting Class A
Redeemable Preferred Stock, which had a redemption value of $2.00 per share, in
exchange for the Company's promissory note payable to North Central Personnel,
Inc. and related accrued interest which totalled $853,588 on the date of the
exchange.  The preferred shares pay no dividends and may be redeemed at the
option of the holder, in specified installments for cash.  On May 29, 1995,
85,359 shares were redeemed for $170,718.  Subsequently, on July 6, 1995, the
remaining 341,435 Class A Redeemable Preferred Shares were exchanged for 260,141
Class B Redeemable Preferred Shares, with a redemption price of $2.625 per
share.  These remaining 260,141 shares, with an aggregate redemption value of
$682,870 at December 23, 1995 and June 24, 1995, may be redeemed in installments
of approximately 65,000 shares on or after November 29, 1995, May 29, 1996,
November 29, 1996 and May 29, 1997, at the option of the holder.  All
outstanding Class B shares become redeemable in the event of default.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 18, 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to merge with Star
Multi Care Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCS) in a stock transaction intended to
qualify as a tax free reorganization and a pooling of interests.  Pursuant to
the merger, each outstanding share of AMSERV's common stock would be converted
into .409 shares of Star's common stock, representing a ratio of one share of
Star's common stock for each 2.445 shares of AMSERV's common stock.  The merger
is subject to the signing of a definitive agreement by February 9, 1996,
approval of the shareholders of both companies, and other conditions.

On January 19, 1996, the Company announced the adoption of a Rights Plan
designed to protect shareholder interest.  As of the record date of January 29,
1996, all outstanding and subsequently issued shares of common stock will
receive the right to purchase, according to a formula and subject to certain
conditions, a certain number of shares of common stock at a 50% discount (the
"Rights").  The Rights are not exercisable, however, until a person or group
either acquires or announces a tender offer for 10% or more of the Company's
common stock.  The Rights held by the 10% holder will become null and void.  In
the event of a merger or other business combination that has not been approved
by the Board of Directors, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase a
certain number of shares of the acquiring company's common shares at a 50%
discount.

                             AMSERV HEALTHCARE INC.
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased $152,000, from
$2,619,000 to $2,467,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1996.  This
decrease is the result of an increase in accounts receivable and payments made
during the period for corporate income taxes.  The Company's balance sheet
maintains a current ratio of 3.6 to 1 at December 23, 1995.  Management believes
that its working capital position will enable the Company to continue its
expansion in home care and other health care services and meet its anticipated
cash requirements.

OPERATING RESULTS

Operating revenues for the three and six month periods ended December 23, 1995
increased $236,000 or 8%, and $492,000, or 9%, respectively, over the same
periods of a year ago.  Higher operating revenues are the result of an overall
increase in the demand for home care services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended
December 23, 1995 increased $123,000, or 5%, and $385,000, or 8%, respectively,
compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.  These increases were
primarily the result of the direct variable costs associated with the increase
in operating revenues and the fixed costs incurred in connection with the start-
up office in Union City, New Jersey, which began operations in October 1994.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $14,000, or 13%, and $29,000, or 14%,
respectively, during the three and six month periods ended December 23, 1995
over the same periods of fiscal 1995.  These overall decreases are the result of
a reduction of amortization expense in connection with the intangible assets
acquired in the purchase of the New Jersey subsidiary, part of which became
fully amortized, offset by an increase in depreciation expense due to the
purchase of equipment, furniture and fixtures.

Interest income increased to $34,000 and $87,000, respectively, during the three
and six month periods ended December 23, 1995 compared to $17,000 and $31,000,
respectively, during the same periods of a year ago.  This overall increase of
$56,000 is due to one-time interest and dividends received during the period
related to the sale of various short-term investments.

Net income from continuing operations increased 104% from $77,000 to $157,000,
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to the second quarter of fiscal
1995.  For the six months ended December 23, 1995, net income from continuing
operations increased 79% to $252,000, compared to $140,000 for the same six
month period of fiscal 1995.  Net income for the three and six month periods of
fiscal 1995 include an after-tax gain of $169,000 as a result of the sale of the
Company's temporary nursing services business.
