Logo Letterhead To Our Shareholders: Our fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 was a year that brought to us exciting growth of our core behavioral healthcare business. The year, however, was not without some disappointments. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly summarize our Company's accomplishments. 1. The highlights for Pioneer Healthcare for the fiscal year were the following: Our core behavioral healthcare business had revenue growth of 31%. We completed the successful acquisition of a large behavioral management company in New York. We signed many new contracts including our Company's largest contract for 64,000 lives in the State of Nevada. We had two strong additions to our Board of Directors. 2. We are disappointed in the operation of our long term care facility, which is not part of our core behavioral healthcare business, and have announced our intention to sell the facility. In summary, with the continued growth of our behavioral healthcare business and divestiture of our long term care facility that was a significant drain on earnings, our Company will be able to focus on the exciting opportunities presented to us that will continue to enhance our position as a leading behavioral healthcare company. The outlook for the future is very positive. We want to thank you for your support of our Company and look forward to future enhancing shareholder value. /s/ Bruce A.

TRANSITIONAL SMALL BUSINESS DISCLOSURE FORMAT: Yes No X PART I. ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. INTRODUCTION PHC, Inc.(the "Company") is a national health care company specializing in the treatment of behavioral health care including alcohol and drug dependency and related disorders, psychiatric care and long term care. The Company operates 3 substance abuse facilities, 6 psychiatric facilities and 1 long-term care facility. Through the Company's facilities, it provides specialized treatment services to substance abuse patients who typically have poor recovery prognoses and who are prone to relapse; psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults, on an inpatient and outpatient basis; and traditional geriatric care and specialized subacute services. In addition, the Company provides psychiatric services under contract to approximately 35 long-term care facilities. The Company's national customers include organizations within the transportation, gaming and railroad industries such as CSX, American Airlines, MGM, General Electric and International Brotherhood of Electrical Works. The Company's substance abuse services are offered in small specialty care and subacute facilities (i.e., facilities designed to provide care to individuals who no longer require hospital care but who require some medical care), which permits the Company to provide its clients with efficient and customized treatment without the significant costs associated with the management and operation of general acute care hospitals. The Company tailors these programs and services to "safety-sensitive" industries and concentrates its marketing efforts on the transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law enforcement, gaming, and health services industries. The Company operates substance abuse facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah, West Greenwich, Rhode Island and Salem, Virginia. Harbor Oaks Hospital, the Company's psychiatric hospital, provides psychiatric care to adults, adolescents and children and draws patients from the local population. This facility is also used as a mental health resource to complement its substance abuse facilities. Harmony Healthcare and Total Concept, EAP ("Total Concept") provide outpatient psychiatric treatment for adults, adolescents and children with a concentration of individuals in the gaming industry. BSC-NY, Inc. ("BSC") provides management and administrative services to Perlow Physicians, PC which provides psychiatric services under contract to over 35 psychotherapy and psychological practices in the greater New York City metropolitan area. Additionally, BSC is affiliated with a number of outpatient providers and has a contract to provide employee assistance services to the employees of Suffolk County, New York. North Point - Pioneer, Inc. ("NPP") provides outpatient psychiatric treatment for adults, adolescents and children in the Metropolitan Detroit area. Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. ("PCV") is a physicians' practice specializing in the treatment of behavioral disorders in adults, adolescents and children in the Roanoke Valley, Virginia area. The Company's "safety-sensitive" industry focused strategy results in customized outcome oriented programs that the Company believes produce overall cost savings to the patients and/or the client organization. The Company has been able to leverage its industry knowledge to gain additional clients within each of its targeted industries. The Company believes that such services, while potentially more costly on a per patient stay basis, often result in long term health care cost savings to insurers, patients and patients' families. The Company's psychiatric treatment programs provide care at the lowest level of intensity appropriate for the patient in an integrated delivery system including inpatient and outpatient treatment. The integrated nature of these programs, generally involves the same caregivers for different treatment modalities, provides for efficient care delivery and the avoidance of repeat procedures and diagnostic and therapeutic errors. The Company plans to expand its operations through the acquisition or establishment of additional substance abuse and psychiatric treatment facilities. Franvale, the Company's long-term care facility, provides traditional geriatric care services as well as specialized subacute services to the high acuity segment (patients requiring a significant amount of medical care) of the geriatric population and to younger patients who require skilled nursing care for longer terms than typically associated with a general acute care hospital. Since long term care is not a part of the Company's core business, Pioneer continuously looks for the best strategic alternative for Franvale but no specific plans have been formulated at this time. The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1976 under the name American International Health Services, Inc. and changed its name to "PHC, Inc.," on November 24, 1992. The Company operates as a holding company, doing business under the trade name Pioneer Healthcare, with the exception of the services provided directly by the Company under the name Pioneer Development Support Services. The Company's executive offices are located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, Massachusetts, 01960 and its telephone number is (978) 536-2777. PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES INDUSTRY SUBSTANCE ABUSE FACILITIES Industry Background The demand for substance abuse treatment services increased rapidly in the last decade. The Company believes that the increased demand is related to clinical advances in the treatment of chemical dependencies, greater societal willingness to acknowledge the underlying problems as treatable illnesses, improved health insurance coverage for addictive disorders and chemical dependencies and governmental regulation which requires certain employers to provide information to employees about drug counseling and employee assistance programs. To contain costs associated with behavioral health issues in the 1980s, many private payors instituted managed care programs for reimbursement, which included pre-admission certification, case management or utilization review and limits on financial coverage or length of stay. These cost containment measures have encouraged outpatient care for behavioral problems, resulting in a shortening of the length of stay and revenue per day in inpatient chemical abuse facilities. The Company believes that it has addressed these cost containment measures by specializing in treating relapse-prone patients with poor prognoses who have failed in other treatment settings. These patients require longer lengths of stay and come from a wide geographic area. The Company continues to develop alternatives to inpatient care including partial day and evening programs in addition to on site and off site outpatient programs. The Company believes that because of the apparent unmet need for certain intense clinical and medical services, its strategy has been successful despite national trends towards outpatient treatment, shorter inpatient stays and rigorous scrutiny by managed care organizations. Company Operations The Company has been able to secure insurance reimbursement for longer-term inpatient treatment as a result of its success with poor prognosis patients. The Company's three substance abuse facilities work together to refer patients to the center that best meets the patient's clinical and medical needs. Each facility caters to a slightly different patient population including high-risk, relapse-prone chronic alcoholics, drug addicts, minority groups and dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders). The Company concentrates on providing services to insurers, managed care networks and health maintenance organizations for both adults and adolescents. The Company's clinicians often work directly with managers of employee assistance programs to select the best treatment facility possible for their clients. Each of the Company's facilities operates a case management program for each patient including a clinical and financial evaluation of a patient's circumstances to determine the most cost-effective modality of care from among outpatient treatment, detoxification, inpatient, day care, specialized relapse treatment and others. In addition to care or services provided at one of the Company's facilities, the case management program for each patient includes aftercare. Aftercare may be provided through the outpatient services provided by a facility. Alternatively, the Company may arrange for outpatient aftercare, as well as family and mental health services, through its numerous affiliations with clinicians located across the country once the patient is discharged. In general, the Company does not accept patients who do not have either insurance coverage or adequate financial resources to pay for treatment. Each of the Company's substance abuse facilities does, however, provide treatment free of charge to a small number of patients each year who are unable to pay for treatment, but who meet certain clinical criteria and who are believed by the Company to have the requisite degree of motivation for treatment to be successful. In addition, the Company provides follow-up treatment free of charge to relapse patients who satisfy certain criteria. The number of patient days attributable to all patients who receive treatment free of charge in any given fiscal year is less than 5%. The Company believes that it has benefited from an increased awareness of the need to make substance abuse treatment services accessible to the nation's workforce. For example, subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, commonly known as the "Drug Free Workplace Act", requires employers who are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug free awareness programs to inform employees about available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs and the consequences of drug abuse violations. In response to the Drug Free Workplace Act, many companies, including many major national corporations and transportation companies, have adopted policies that provide for treatment options prior to termination of employment. The Company treats employees who have been referred to the Company as a result of compliance with the Drug Free Workplace Act, particularly from companies that are part of safety sensitive industries, such as railroads, airlines, trucking firms, oil and gas exploration companies, heavy equipment companies and manufacturing companies. HIGHLAND RIDGE Highland Ridge is a 34-bed alcohol and drug treatment hospital located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is the oldest free-standing chemical dependency hospital in Utah. Highland Ridge is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO"), licensed by the Utah Department of Health and is recognized nationally for its excellence in treating substance abuse disorders. Most patients are from Utah and surrounding states. Individuals typically access Highland Ridge's services through professional referrals, family members, employers, employee assistance programs or contracts between the Company and health maintenance organizations located in Utah. Highland Ridge was the first private for-profit hospital to address specifically the special needs of chemically dependent women in Salt Lake County. In addition, Highland Ridge has contracted with Salt Lake County to provide medical detoxification services targeted to women. The hospital also operates a specialized continuing care support group to address the unique needs of women and minorities. A pre-admission evaluation, which involves an evaluation of psychological, cognitive and situational factors is completed for each prospective patient. In addition, each prospective patient is given a physical examination upon admission. Diagnostic tools, including those developed by the American Psychological Association, the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory are used to develop an individualized treatment plan for each client. The treatment regimen involves an interdisciplinary team which integrates the twelve-step principles of self-help organizations, medical detoxification, individual and group counseling, family therapy, psychological testing, psychiatric support, stress management, dietary planning, vocational counseling and pastoral support. Highland Ridge also offers extensive aftercare assistance. Individuals for whom treatment is inappropriate are referred to other community and professional resources. Highland Ridge periodically conducts or participates in research projects. For example, Highland Ridge was the site of a recent research project being conducted by the University of Utah Medical School. The research explored the relationship between individual motivation and treatment outcomes. This research was regulated and reviewed by the Human Subjects Review Board of the University of Utah and was subject to federal standards that delineate the nature and scope of research involving human subjects. Highland Ridge benefited from this research by expanding its professional relationships within the medical school community and by applying the findings of the research to improve the quality of services the Company delivers. SPECIALIZED TREATMENT SERVICE In the spring of 1994, the Company began to operate a crisis hotline service under contract with a major transportation client. The hotline, Pioneer Development Support Services, or PDS2 ("PDS2"), is a national, 24-hour telephone service which supplements the services provided by the client's Employee Assistance Programs. The services provided include information, crisis intervention, critical incidents coordination, employee counselor support, client monitoring, case management and health promotion. The hotline is staffed by counselors who refer callers to the appropriate professional resources for assistance with personal problems. Five major transportation companies subscribed to these services as of June 30, 1997. This operation is physically located in Highland Ridge Hospital, but services are provided by staff dedicated to PDS2. PDS2 is currently operated by the parent entity, PHC, Inc. See "Description of Properties" - Highland Ridge. MOUNT REGIS Mount Regis is a 25-bed, free-standing alcohol and drug treatment center located in Salem, Virginia, near Roanoke. The center, which was acquired in 1987, is the oldest of its kind in the Roanoke Valley. Mount Regis is accredited by the JCAHO, and licensed by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, Mount Regis operates Changes, a free standing outpatient clinic. The Changes clinic provides structured intensive outpatient treatment for patients who have been discharged from Mount Regis and for patients who do not need the formal structure of a residential treatment program. The program is licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and approved for reimbursement by major insurance carriers. The programs at Mount Regis are designed to be sensitive to needs of women and minorities. The majority of Mount Regis clients are from Virginia and surrounding states. In addition, because of its relatively close proximity and accessibility to New York, Mount Regis has been able to attract an increasing number of referrals from New York-based labor unions. Mount Regis has established programs which allow the Company to better treat dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders), cocaine addiction and relapse-prone patients. The multi-disciplinary case management, aftercare and family programs are designed to prevent relapse. . See "Description of Properties"- Mount Regis. See "Description of Properties"- Changes. GOOD HOPE CENTER Good Hope is a 49-bed substance abuse treatment facility located in West Greenwich, Rhode Island. In addition to the West Greenwich facility, Good Hope has a satellite location providing outpatient programs in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Good Hope provides both adult and adolescent programs on an inpatient, outpatient and day treatment basis. The satellite site operates both outpatient and day treatment substance abuse programs. Good Hope concentrates on providing services to insurers, managed care networks and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Good Hope provides the same quality of individualized treatment provided by the Company's other facilities by working closely with the staff of managed care and HMO organizations. The Company recognizes that not all clients are in need of, nor are appropriate recipients of, acute care alcohol and drug treatment services. Good Hope also utilizes its outpatient programs to provide a continuum of care to local patients. The day treatment license permits treatment of substance abuse, which encompasses primary diagnoses of both alcohol abuse and drug abuse. Good Hope's substance abuse treatment program for adolescents also fills a need of the Company's other facilities for a reliable referral for adolescents. Most of the patients treated at Good Hope are from the New England area. Good Hope continues to operate at a loss because of a decline in length of stay and lower reimbursements from third party payors. However, the Company's management team is focused on reducing expenses, increasing revenue and enhancing programming and has recently established new contracts which should help to stabilize the patient census.

GENERAL PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES Company Operations The Company believes that its proven ability to provide high quality, cost-effective care in the treatment of substance abuse will enable it to grow in the related behavioral health field of psychiatric treatment. The Company's primary competitive advantage is its ability to provide an integrated delivery system of inpatient and outpatient care. As a result of integration, the Company is better able to manage and track patients more effectively. The Company's inpatient psychiatry services are offered at Harbor Oaks. The Company currently operates five outpatient psychiatric facilities. The Company's philosophy at these facilities is to provide the most appropriate and efficacious care with the least restrictive modality of care. Case management is handled by an attending physician and a case manager with continuing oversight of the patient as the patient receives care in different locations or programs. The integrated delivery system allows for better patient tracking and follow-up, and fewer repeat procedures and therapeutic or diagnostic errors. Each new patient receives a thorough diagnostic write-up and a full history is taken. In addition, new patients also receive a full physical examination after which an individualized treatment program is designed which may include inpatient and/or outpatient treatment at one or more of the company's facilities. Patients are referred from managed health care organizations, state agencies, individual physicians and by patients themselves. The patient population at these facilities ranges from children as young as 5 years of age to senior citizens. The psychiatric facilities treat a larger percentage of female patients than the substance abuse facilities. HARBOR OAKS Harbor Oaks Hospital is a 64 bed psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan, approximately 20 miles northeast of Detroit, which was acquired by the Company in September 1994. Harbor Oaks Hospital is licensed by the Michigan Department of Commerce and is accredited by JCAHO. Harbor Oaks provides inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment to children, adolescents and adults. Harbor Oaks Hospital has serviced clients from Macomb, Oakland and St. Clair Counties and has now expanded its coverage area to include Wayne, Sanilac and Livingston Counties. Harbor Oaks Hospital works in conjunction with New Life Treatment Centers, Inc. ("New Life") to offer counseling programs with a traditional Christian philosophy on an inpatient and partial hospitalization basis. This program has attracted patients from across the state and throughout the midwest and northeast United States. The contract with New Life had an initial term of two years commencing on July 25, 1995 is currently being renegotiated with all operations continuing as amended until a new contract is finalized. Harbor Oaks pays New Life a monthly fee equal to 50% of net receipts from the program, not including receipts from Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS and other federally funded programs. In the original agreement Harbor Oaks was required to pay New Life a minimum of $52,500 per month and a fixed fee of $7,500 per month for each patient whose treatment is covered by a federally funded program. In an amendment to this contract in November 1996 the minimum payment requirement was decreased from $52,500 to $35,000 per month. The Company utilizes the Harbor Oaks facility as a mental health resource to complement its nationally focused substance abuse treatment programs. Harbor Oaks Hospital has a specialty program that treats substance abuse patients who have a coexisting psychiatric disorder. This program provides an integrated holistic approach to the treatment of individuals who have both substance abuse and psychiatric problems. The program is offered to both adults and adolescents. On February 10, 1997, Harbor Oaks Hospital opened an 8-bed adjudicated residential unit serving adolescents with a substance abuse problem and a co-existing mental disorder who have been adjudicated to have committed criminal acts and who have been referred or required to undergo psychiatric treatment by a court or family service agency. The patients in the program range from 13 to 18 years of age. The program provides patients with educational and recreational activities and adult life functioning skills as well as treatment. Typically, a patient is admitted to the unit for 30 days to six months, with a case review at six months to determine if additional treatment is required. HARMONY HEALTHCARE Harmony Healthcare, an outpatient clinic located in Las Vegas, Nevada, provides psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults in the local area. Harmony Healthcare also operates employee assistance programs for railroads, healthcare companies and several large casino companies including Boyd Gaming Corporation, the MGM Grand, the Mirage and Treasure Island Resorts with a rapid response program to provide immediate assistance 24 hours a day. TOTAL CONCEPT EAP Total Concept, an outpatient clinic located in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, provides psychiatric and substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults and manages employee assistance programs for local businesses, gaming, railroads and managed health care companies. NORTH POINT-PIONEER, INC. NPP operates five psychiatric clinics in Michigan under the name Pioneer Counseling Centers. These clinics provide outpatient psychiatric and substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults. The clinics, which are located near the Harbor Oaks facility, provide more efficient integration of inpatient and outpatient services, a larger coverage area and the ability to share personnel which results in cost savings. PIONEER COUNSELING OF VIRGINIA, INC. PCV, an outpatient clinic located in Salem, Virginia, provides psychiatric services to adults, adolescents and children referred by a physicians' practice. PCV is 80% owned by the Company. The medical directors, who are employees of the Company, own the remaining 20%. BSC-NY, INC.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, Franvale operated at 84.1% of capacity Currently, the majority of the services provided by the Company at its Franvale facility are skilled nursing services. The short-term rehabilitation and subacute services provided include several forms of intravenous therapy, total parenteral (intravenous) nutrition and pain management. Other subacute services offered include hospice care, wound management and tracheotomy care. The skilled therapeutic services offered by the Company include occupational, physical and speech therapy, respiratory modalities and continence retraining programs. Franvale was the first long-term care facility in Massachusetts to hold DPH certification in all of the modalities of parenteral (intravenous) infusion therapy, and is a leader among long-term care facilities in responding to the needs of the managed care market and for providing transfusion services in a setting that combines the prerequisite skill and cost effectiveness. With completion of the addition and renovation project, the Company is expanding the subacute services it offers to include expanded respiratory therapy services (i.e., mechanically assisted ventilation), peritoneal and neurobehavioral therapeutic services. The Company owns the two story building in which Franvale is located which consists of approximately 44,000 square feet. The Company believes that these premises are adequate for its current and anticipated needs. On February 19, 1997, the Company's Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center ("Franvale") was cited for serious patient care and safety deficiencies by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as the result of a routine survey. A civil penalty of $3,050 per day was imposed which was reduced to $2,250 per day on March 12, 1997. After an appeal the fine was reduced to $90,545 in total. At the time of the original citation, the Company was notified by the Department of Public Health and by the federal agency, HCFA, that Franvale would be terminated from the Medicare and Medicaid programs unless Franvale was in substantial compliance with regulatory requirements by March 14, 1997. Franvale submitted a plan of correction to the Department of Public Health and on March 12, 1997, as the result of a resurvey by the Department of Public Health, a new statement of deficiencies was issued, which contained a significant number of violations but recharacterized the level of seriousness of the deficiencies to a lower degree of violation and which extended the threatened date of termination to April 30, 1997. As a result of the new statement of deficiencies, the Department of Public Health had precluded the Company from admitting new patients to its Franvale facility until at least April 30, 1997. However, on April 11, 1997, the Company received authority to admit new patients on a case by case basis. Previous patients were readmitted to the Franvale facility from a hospital only after a case by case review by the Department of Public Health. The Company was obligated to notify the attending physician of each resident of Franvale who was found to have received substandard care of the deficiency notice and was obligated also to notify the Massachusetts board which licenses the administrator of Franvale. On April 19, 1997 the Department of Public Health, Division of Health Care Quality completed a follow-up survey of the Franvale Nursing Home. As a result of this survey it was determined that all deficiencies cited from the April 17, 1997 visit had been corrected and the restrictions on Franvale's ability to admit patients were lifted. The Company replaced the management team at Franvale and expended significant sums for staffing and programmatic improvements in order to bring the facility into substantial compliance at the earliest possible date. The Company engaged Oasis Management Company on November 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 to provide management services to Franvale. The Company conducted an intensive staff review which resulted in a total reorganization. The present staff was provided with in-service training. The Company is continuing an extensive program of review to ensure that Franvale remains in compliance. As a result of the decrease in census resulting from the inability of Franvale to admit new patients and the limitations on its ability to re-admit patients, the monetary penalties which accrued, and the expenses that were incurred by the Company in an attempt to cure the cited deficiencies, the Company experienced a material adverse effect on its financial results in the latter part of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, particularly in the fourth quarter of 1997 and anticipates the possibility of continued adverse financial impacts in future quarters. A new management team is in place and marketing efforts have begun to show positive results. Pioneer continuously looks for the best strategic alternative for Franvale although no specific plans have been formulated at this time.

BUSINESS STRATEGY The Company's objective is to become a leading national provider of treatment services, specializing in substance abuse and psychiatric care. The Company focuses its marketing efforts on "safety-sensitive" industries. This focus results in customized outcome oriented programs that the Company believes produce overall cost savings to the patients and/or client organizations. The Company intends to leverage experience gained from providing services to customers in certain industries which it believes will enhance its selling efforts within these certain industries. The Company also intends to pursue at-risk contracts and outpatient, managed care fee-for-service contracts. The Company intends to pursue strategic acquisitions that will provide the Company with a greater geographic reach, while incorporating the Company's integrated delivery system. The Company may also engage in strategic acquisitions which will enable it to expand the service offerings it currently provides. MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS The Company markets its substance abuse, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric health services, both locally and nationally, primarily to safety sensitive industries, including transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy machinery and equipment manufacturing and healthcare services. Additionally, the Company markets its services in the gaming industry. The Company employs 10 individuals dedicated to marketing among the Company's facilities. Each facility performs marketing activities in its local region. The National Marketing Director of the Company, coordinates the majority of the Company's national marketing efforts. In addition, employees at certain facilities perform national marketing activities independent of the National Marketing Director. The Company, with the support of its owned integrated outpatient systems and management services, plans to pursue more at-risk contracts and outpatient, managed health care fee-for-service contracts. In addition to providing excellent services and treatment outcomes, the Company will continue to negotiate pricing policies to attract patients for long-term intensive treatment which meet length of stay and clinical requirements established by insurers, managed health care organizations and the Company's internal professional standards. The Company's inpatient services are complemented by an integrated system of comprehensive outpatient mental health clinics and physician practices owned or managed by the Company. These clinics and medical practices are strategically located in Nevada, Virginia, Kansas City, Michigan, Utah and New York and enable the Company to offer a broad range of wholly integrated, comprehensive, mental health services for corporations and managed care organizations on an at-risk or exclusive fee-for-service basis. Additionally, the Company operates Pioneer Development and Support Services (PDS2) located in the Highland Ridge facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. PDS2 provides clinical support, referrals, management and professional services for a number of the Company's national contracts. It gives the Company the capacity to provide a complete range of fully integrated mental health services. The Company has been successful in securing a number of national accounts with a variety of corporations including: Boyd Gaming, Canadian Rail, Conrail, CSX, the IUE, MCC, MGM, The Mirage, Station Casinos, Union Pacific Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad Hospital Association, VBH, and others. The Company's marketing efforts for its long-term care facility will continue to emphasize the specialized, transitional subacute care services provided by Franvale. The Company hopes to continue its relationship with existing acute care hospitals for transitional patients and to develop other networks with health care providers to increase its census, particularly of higher paying private pay and long-term care insured patients. COMPETITION The Company's substance abuse programs compete nationally with other health care providers, including general and chronic care hospitals, both non-profit and for-profit, other substance abuse facilities and short-term detoxification centers. Some competitors have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. The Company believes, however, that it can compete successfully with such institutions because of its success in treating poor-prognosis patients. The Company will compete through its focus on such patients, its willingness to negotiate appropriate rates and its capacity to build and service corporate relationships. The Company's psychiatric facilities and programs compete primarily within the respective geographic area serviced by them. The Company competes with private doctors, hospital-based clinics, hospital-based outpatient services and other comparable facilities. The main reasons that the Company competes well are its integrated delivery system and dual diagnosis programming. Integrated delivery provides for more efficient follow-up procedures and reductions in length of stay. Dual diagnosis programming provides a niche service for clients with a primary mental health and a secondary substance abuse diagnosis. The dual diagnosis service was developed in response to demand from insurers, employees and treatment facilities. With respect to long-term care, the Company's competitors include hospitals, long-term care facilities and hospices which provide both custodial and subacute care. The Company competes in the long-term market within a catchment area of an approximately 25-mile radius from its Franvale center. The success of a long-term care facility depends on various factors, including the quality of its amenities and facility, the professionalism of its staff and its location. The Company believes that it can compete successfully in the long-term care market, notwithstanding the fact that its competitors are numerous and in many cases have greater financial resources than the Company, by continuing to provide intensive, cost-effective and innovative treatment and by acquiring new facilities or upgrading its existing facilities, as it has done through the construction and renovation project at Franvale, so that the physical plant appeals to private paying patients. REVENUE SOURCES AND CONTRACTS The Company has entered into relationships with numerous employers, labor unions and third-party payors to provide services to their employees and members for the treatment of substance abuse disorders. In addition, the Company admits patients who seek treatment directly without the intervention of third parties and whose insurance does not cover these conditions in circumstances where the patient either has adequate financial resources to pay for treatment directly or is eligible to receive free care at one of the Company's substance abuse facilities. Free treatment provided each year amounts to less than 5% of the Company's total patient days. Each contract with an institution is negotiated separately, taking into account the insurance coverage provided to employees and members, and may provide for differing amounts of compensation to the Company for different subsets of employees and members depending upon such coverage. The charges may be capitated, or fixed with a maximum charge per patient day, and, in the case of larger clients, frequently result in a negotiated discount from the Company's published charges. The Company believes that such discounts are appropriate as they are effective in producing a larger volume of patient admissions. When non-contract patients are treated by the Company, they are billed on the basis of the Company's standard per diem rates and for additional ancillary services provided to them by the Company. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND UTILIZATION REVIEW The Company has established a comprehensive quality assurance program at all of its facilities. Such programs are designed to ensure that each facility maintains standards that meet or exceed requirements imposed upon the Company, with the objective of providing high-quality specialized treatment services to its patients. The Company's professional staff, including physicians, social workers, psychologists, nurses, dietitians, therapists and counselors, must meet the minimal requirements of licensure for their specific discipline, as well as the internal professional staff requirements adopted by each of the facilities. The Company participates in the federally mandated National Practitioners Data Bank, which monitors professional accreditation nationally. In response to the increasing reliance of insurers and managed care organizations upon utilization review methodologies, the Company has adopted a comprehensive documentation policy to satisfy relevant reimbursement criteria. Additionally, the Company has developed an internal case management system which provides assurance that services rendered to individual patients are medically appropriate and reimbursable. Implementation of these internal policies has been integral to the success of the Company's strategy of providing services to relapse-prone, higher acuity patients. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Company's business and the development and operation of the Company's facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulation. In recent years, an increasing number of legislative proposals have been introduced at both the national and state levels that would effect major reforms of the health care system if adopted. Among the proposals under consideration are reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance, to increase reliance upon managed care, to bolster competition and to require that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to their employees. The Company cannot predict whether any such legislative proposals will be adopted and, if adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals would have on the Company's business. In addition, both the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy, intermediary determinations and governmental funding restrictions, all of which may materially increase or decrease the rate of program payments to health care facilities. Since 1983, Congress has consistently attempted to limit the growth of federal spending under the Medicare and Medicaid programs and will like continue to do so. Additionally, congressional spending reductions for the Medicaid program involving the issuance of block grants to states is likely to hasten the reliance upon managed care as a potential savings mechanism of the Medicaid program. As a result of this reform activity the Company can give no assurance that payments under such programs will in the future remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states, including The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Michigan, are considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets. HEALTH PLANNING REQUIREMENTS Some of the states in which the Company operates, and many of the states where the Company may consider expansion opportunities, have health planning statutes which require that prior to the addition or construction of new beds, the addition of new services, the acquisition of certain medical equipment or certain capital expenditures in excess of defined levels, a state health planning agency must determine that a need exists for such new or additional beds, new services, equipment or capital expenditures. These state determination of need or certificate of need ("DoN") programs are designed to enable states to participate in certain federal and state health related programs and to avoid duplication of health services. DoNs typically are issued for a specified maximum expenditure, must be implemented within a specified time frame and often include elaborate compliance procedures for amendment or modification, if needed. Several states, including The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have instituted moratoria on some types of DoNs or otherwise stated an intent not to grant approvals for certain health services. Such moratoria may adversely affect the Company's ability to expand in such states, but may also provide a barrier to entry to potential competitors. LICENSURE AND CERTIFICATION All of the Company's facilities must be licensed by state regulatory authorities. The Company's Franvale and Harbor Oaks facilities are certified for participation as providers in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Company's initial and continued licensure of its facilities, and certification to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, depends upon many factors, including accommodations, equipment, services, patient care, safety, personnel, physical environment, adequate policies, procedures and controls and the regulatory process regarding the facility's initial licensure. Federal, state and local agencies survey facilities on a regular basis to determine whether such facilities are in compliance with governmental operating and health standards and conditions for participating in government programs. Such surveys include reviews of patient utilization and inspection of standards of patient care. The Company will attempt to ensure that its facilities are operated in compliance with all such standards and conditions. To the extent these standards are not met, however, the license of a facility could be restricted, suspended or revoked, or a facility could be decertified from the Medicare or Medicaid programs. MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT Currently the only facilities of the Company that receive Medicare reimbursement are Franvale and Harbor Oaks. At Franvale 21.2% of revenues are derived from Medicare programs and at Harbor Oaks 11.1% of revenues are derived from Medicare programs. The Medicare program reimburses long-term care facilities for routine operating costs, capital costs and ancillary costs. Routine operating costs are subject to a routine cost limitation set for each location. Such routine cost limitations are not applicable for the first three years of the facility's operations. Owing to its high acuity patient population, Franvale has received an exception to this routine cost limit for calendar years 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996. Capital costs include interest expenses, property taxes, lease payments and depreciation expense. Interest and depreciation are calculated based upon the original owner's historical cost (plus the cost of subsequent capital improvements) when changes in ownership occur after July 1984. Ancillary costs are reimbursed at actual cost to Medicare beneficiaries based on prescribed cost allocation principles. The Medicare program generally reimburses psychiatric facilities pursuant to its prospective payment system ("PPS"), in which each facility receives an interim payment of its allowable costs during the year which is later adjusted to reflect actual allowable direct and indirect costs of services based upon the submission of a cost report at the end of each year. However, current Medicare payment policies allow certain psychiatric service providers an exemption from PPS. In order for a facility to be eligible for exemption from PPS, the facility must comply with numerous organizational and operational requirements. PPS-exempt providers are cost reimbursed, receiving the lower of reasonable costs or reasonable charges. The Medicare program fiscal intermediary pays a per diem rate based upon prior year costs, which may be retroactively adjusted upon the submission of annual cost reports. The Harbor Oaks facility is currently PPS-exempt. The amount of its cost-based reimbursement may be limited by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA") and regulations promulgated thereunder. Generally, TEFRA limits the amount of reimbursement a facility may receive to a target amount per discharge, adjusted annually for inflation. This target amount is based upon a facility's reasonable Medicare operating cost divided by Medicare discharges, plus a per diem allowance for capital costs, during its base year of operations. It is not possible to predict the ability of Harbor Oaks to remain PPS-exempt or to anticipate the impact of TEFRA upon the reimbursement received by Harbor Oaks in future periods. In order to receive Medicare reimbursement, each participating facility must meet the applicable conditions of participation set forth by the federal government relating to the type of facility, its equipment, its personnel and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all state and local laws and regulations. In addition, Medicare regulations generally require that entry into such facilities be through physician referral. The Company must offer services to Medicare recipients on a non-discriminatory basis and may not preferentially accept private pay or commercially insured patients. MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT Currently, the only facilities of the Company that receive reimbursement under any state Medicaid program are Franvale and Harbor Oaks. A portion of Medicaid costs are paid by states under the Medicaid program and the federal matching payments are not made unless the state's portion is made. Accordingly, the timely receipt of Medicaid payments by a facility may be affected by the financial condition of the relevant state. Harbor Oaks is a participant in the Medicaid program administered by the State of Michigan. Reimbursement is received on a per diem basis, inclusive of ancillary costs. The rate is determined by the state and is adjusted annually based on cost reports filed by the Company. The Franvale facility participates in the Medicaid program administered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. For 1996 and 1995, Massachusetts Medicaid continued to reimburse skilled nursing facilities on an acuity based prospective system. The 1996 and 1995 rates are based on costs reported and acuity data for 1993 and are adjusted by inflation factors. Under the rate formula established for 1997, Massachusetts nursing facilities received an average increase in their Medicaid rates of approximately 2.4%. Actual reimbursement of long-term care costs under the Massachusetts Medicaid program is based in part upon the acuity levels of individual patients. Any changes by the Commonwealth to the methods used to determine patient acuity will therefore affect Medicaid reimbursement to providers of long-term care. At this time the Company cannot predict the impact of future year rate changes on its operations. Payment to Medicaid providers in Massachusetts may be delayed or reduced due to budgetary constraints or limited availability of revenues due to general economic conditions affecting the Commonwealth. Such delays and reductions have occurred in the past and no assurance can be given that future reductions will not be made in the scope of covered services or the rate of increase in reimbursement rates, or that future reimbursement will be adequate to cover the provider's cost of providing service. The effect of such limitations or reductions will be to require management to carefully manage costs so that they will come within available reimbursement revenues, if possible. FRAUD AND ABUSE LAWS Various federal and state laws regulate the business relationships and payment arrangements between providers and suppliers of health care services, including employment or service contracts, and investment relationships. These laws include the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare and Medicaid statutes as well as similar state statutes (collectively, the "Fraud and Abuse Laws"), which prohibit the payment, receipt, solicitation or offering of any direct or indirect remuneration intended to induce the referral of patients or the ordering or providing of certain covered services, items or equipment. Violations of these provisions may result in civil and criminal penalties and/or exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and from state programs containing similar provisions relating to referrals of privately insured patients. The federal government has issued regulations which set forth certain "safe harbors," representing business relationships and payment arrangements that can safely be undertaken without violation of the federal Fraud and Abuse Laws. The Company believes that its business relationships and payment arrangements either fall within the safe harbors or otherwise comply with the Fraud and Abuse Laws. EMPLOYEES As of September 15, 1997, the Company had 523 employees, of which 10 were dedicated to Marketing , 152 (31 part time) to finance and administration and 361 (166 part time) to patient care. Of the Company's 523 employees, 389 are leased from Allied Resource Management of Florida, Inc. ("ARMFCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of HRC ARMCO, Inc. (formerly known as Alliance Employee Leasing Corporation), a national employee leasing firm. The Company has elected to lease a substantial portion of its employees to provide more favorable employee health benefits at lower cost than would be available to the Company as a single employer and to eliminate certain administrative tasks which otherwise would be imposed on the management of the Company. The agreement provides that ARMFCO will administer payroll, provide for compliance with workers' compensation laws, including procurement of workers' compensation insurance and administering claims, and procure and provide designated employee benefits. The Company retains the right to reject the services of any leased employee and ARMFCO has the right to increase its fees at any time upon thirty days' written notice or immediately upon any increase in payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance premiums or the cost of employee benefits provided to the leased employees. The Company believes that it has been successful in attracting skilled and experienced personnel; competition for such employees is intense, however, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain necessary qualified employees in the future. None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relationships with its employees are good. INSURANCE Each of the Company's facilities maintains separate professional liability insurance policies. Mount Regis, Harbor Oaks, Harmony Healthcare, Total Concept, NPP, BSC and PCV have coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. Highland Ridge has limits of $1,000,000 per claim and $6,000,000 in the aggregate. Good Hope has coverage of $2,000,000 per claim and $6,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition, these entities maintain general liability insurance coverage in similar amounts. The Company's long-term care facility maintains general and professional liability coverage of $2,000,000, with a limit of $1,000,000 per claim and an aggregate of $5,000,000 excess coverage. PCV's two doctors are currently covered by their own malpractice policies. The Company maintains $1,000,000 of directors and officers liability insurance coverage and $1,000,000 of general liability insurance coverage. The Company believes, based on its experience, that its insurance coverage is adequate for its business and that it will continue to be able to obtain adequate coverage. ITEM 2.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company received a notice from Pioneer Health Care, Inc., a Massachusetts non-profit corporation demanding that the Company discontinue use of its PIONEER HEALTHCARE trademark upon the grounds that that mark infringes the rights of Pioneer Health Care, Inc. under applicable law. Pioneer Health Care, Inc. threatened to proceed with the necessary legal action to prevent the Company from using the PIONEER HEALTHCARE mark, and to seek a cancellation of the registration that has been issued by the U.S. Patent Trademark Office (the "PTO") to the Company for the PIONEER HEALTHCARE mark, unless the Company complied with this demand. The Company refused to comply with this demand, whereupon Pioneer Health Care, Inc. filed a petition in the PTO seeking the cancellation of the Company's registration of its PIONEER HEALTHCARE trademark. The Company thereupon commenced litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking a declaratory judgment that its use of the PIONEER HEALTHCARE trademark does not infringe any rights of Pioneer Health Care, Inc. under applicable law, and that it has the right to maintain its registration of that mark. Pioneer Health Care, Inc. has filed a counterclaim in that litigation seeking injunctive and monetary relief against the Company upon claims of trademark infringement, trademark dilution and unfair competition. The Company is defending itself vigorously against those claims. Proceedings upon the petition filed by Pioneer Health Care, Inc. in the PTO seeking the cancellation of the Company's registration of its PIONEER HEALTHCARE trademark have been stayed pending the resolution of the litigation between the parties. Although the Company regards Pioneer Health Care, Inc.'s counterclaims as being without merit, an adverse decision could result in money damages against the Company and required discontinuance by the Company of the PIONEER HEALTHCARE mark could result in costs to the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In January 1996, the Company received notice that Mullikin Medical Center, A Medical Group, Inc., located in Artesia, California, filed a petition with the PTO seeking cancellation of the registration of the PIONEER HEALTHCARE mark. This cancellation proceeding has been suspended pending the outcome of the litigation described above. ITEM 4.

Since the Company failed to meet earnings targets as stipulated in its March 1994 prospectus, the Company's Class C Common Stock was canceled and retired on September 28, 1997. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. While there are currently no restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends, the Company anticipates that in the future, earnings, if any, will be retained for use in the business or for other corporate purposes, and it is not anticipated that cash dividends in respect of Common Stock will be paid in the foreseeable future. Any decision as to the future payment of dividends will depend on the results of operations and financial position of the Company and such other factors as the Company's Board of Directors, in its discretion, deems relevant. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION GENERAL The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. During the fiscal year several operations were acquired which make comparability of period results difficult. The Company is a provider of health care services through several chemical dependency centers, an acute psychiatric hospital, several outpatient psychiatric centers and a long-term care facility (collectively called "treatment facilities"). The profitability of the Company is largely dependent on the level of patient occupancy at these treatment facilities. The Company's administrative expenses do not vary significantly as a percentage of total revenue although the percentage tends to decrease slightly as revenue increases because of the fixed components of these expenses. The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation governing, among other things, licensure and certification, conduct of operations, audit and retroactive adjustment of prior government billings and reimbursement. In addition, there are ongoing debates and initiatives regarding the restructuring of the health care system in its entirety. While it is anticipated that a number of the proposed regulatory changes may have a positive impact on the Company's business, there can be no assurance that other changes may not adversely affect the Company. Over the past several years, the Company has been systematically phasing out its day care center operations due to declining profitability and its lack of fit with the Company's health care operations. At June 30, 1997 the Company has completely eliminated these operations with the sale of the last parcel real estate. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 The Company experienced a loss for fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of an increase in the Provision for Doubtful Accounts and the increased expenses incurred and decline in census related to the Franvale State Survey in February which placed the facility in Jeopardy Status which precluded admissions for a period of time. Census levels at Franvale did not increase as soon as anticipated after the state resurveyed and lifted the ban on admissions. Occupancy at Franvale for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 was at 84.1% as compared to 87.1% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. A new management team is in place at Franvale and marketing efforts have begun to show positive results including some increase in census. Pioneer continuously looks for strategic alternatives for Franvale which is not a part of the Company's core business but has not formed any definitive plans at this time. The environment the Company operates in today makes collection of receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than in previous years. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an increase in its accounts receivable reserve and has adopted a more stringent reserve policy going forward as well as instituting a more aggressive collection policy. The Provision for Doubtful Accounts increased from $1,894,087 in fiscal 1996 as compared to $3,397,693 in fiscal 1997. A substantial portion of the increase in the reserve was recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter. The company is currently reviewing these adjustments to determine if some of the adjustments should have been made in prior fiscal quarters. Total patient care revenue from all facilities increased 25% to $27,234,372 for the year ended June 30, 1997 from $21,802,758 for the year ended June 30, 1996. Net patient care revenue from psychiatric services increased 30.8% to $21,927,655 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 compared to $16,758,836 for the year ended June 30, 1996. Net patient revenue at the Company's long-term care facility increased to $5,306,717 for fiscal 1997 (5.2%) from $5,043,922 in fiscal 1996 which is attributable to an increase in patient census. Although the gross number of patients increased the percentage of occupancy decreased due to the increase in available beds. Total patient care expenses for all facilities increased 20.3% to $14,436,784 for the year ended June 30, 1997 from $12,004,383 for the year ended June 30, 1996. Patient care expenses for psychiatric services were $10,346,111 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 compared to $7,974,811 for fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 a 29.7% increase. Patient care expenses at the Company's long-term care facility increased to $4,090,673 for fiscal 1997 from $4,029,572 in fiscal 1996 (approximately 1.5%). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the second quarter of 1997, the Company issued Convertible Debentures due December 31, 1998 in the aggregate face amount of $3,125,000 to Infinity Investors Ltd. and Seacrest Capital Limited resulting in $2,500,000 of proceeds to the Company. In the third quarter of 1997, in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the Company issued warrants for 150,000 shares to Infinity Investors Ltd. and Seacrest Capital Limited at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. As of September 15, 1997 all of the Convertible Debentures have been converted to Class A Common Stock. A total of 1,331,696 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued for this conversion and in payment of related interest. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 1997, the Company issued 1,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for a total of $1,000,000 to ProFutures Special Equities Fund, L.P. resulting in proceeds to the Company of approximately $873,705. The June 30, 1997 financial statements reflect the conversion of half of the Convertible Preferred Stock into 229,964 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of September 15, 1997 the remaining Convertible Preferred Stock was converted to 246,305 shares of Class A Common Stock. A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of the Company is the timely collection of its accounts receivable. Accounts receivable from patient care increased 17.2% to $11,255,000 at June 30, 1997 from approximately $9,606,000 at June 30, 1996. The increase in accounts receivable is net of the sale of certain receivables to LINC Finance Corporation VIII (LINC). This increase in receivables is primarily due to increase in revenues from new acquisitions. The Company continues to closely monitor its accounts receivable balances and implement procedures and policies, including more aggressive collection techniques, to manage this receivables growth and keep it consistent with growth in revenues. In December of 1996, PHC of Utah, Inc. and Healthcare Financial Partners-Funding II, L.P. ("HCFP") entered into a revolving credit agreement, pursuant to which HCFP will provide funding of up to $1,000,000 to PHC of Utah, Inc. In February of 1997, PHC of Michigan, Inc. and HCFP entered into a revolving credit agreement, pursuant to which HCFP will provide funding up to $1,500,000 to PHC of Michigan, Inc. Both of these revolving credit agreements are secured by the assets of the subsidiary. The Company currently has a mortgage of $1,100,000 secured by the Harbor Oaks facility. At June 30, 1997 the Company had approximately $905,700 in cash and cash equivalents, working capital of approximately $4,763,000 and a working capital ratio of approximately 1.6 to 1. Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund operations for the foreseeable future. However, the Company is constantly seeking less expensive alternative financing to insure that it will have the necessary capital to fund expansion of its existing business and to pursue acquisition opportunities as they arise. The Company has made significant progress toward the accomplishment of its acquisition and expansion strategy during the fiscal year by completing the acquisition of its out patient psychiatric operations in Michigan (North Point-Pioneer, Inc.) and its first psychiatric practice ownership in Salem, Virginia. These acquisitions are key components in the culmination of the Company's vision to provide a fully integrated delivery system in psychiatric care. Through merger the Company acquired a psychiatric management operation in New York (BSC-NY, Inc.) which manages psychotherapy and psychological practices in New York. Also in connection with the merger another entity was formed, Perlow Physicians, P.C. ("Perlow"), to acquire the assets of the medical practices now serviced by BSC. The Company advanced Perlow the funds to acquire those assets and at June 30, 1997 Perlow owed the Company $3,063,177 which includes, in addition to acquisition costs, management fees of approximately $511,000 and interest on the advances of approximately $176,000. It is expected that the obligations will be paid over the next several years and, accordingly, most of these amounts have been classified as long term. Subsequent to year end the Company issued 172,414 Shares of Unregistered Class A Common Stock to ProFutures Special Equities Fund, L.P. resulting in proceeds to the company of approximately $445,000. Also subsequent to year end the Company completed the acquisition of Counseling Associates, an outpatient clinic in Blacksburg, Virginia, for 26, 024 shares of Class A Common Stock and $50,000 in cash. This clinics operations will be included in Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. which is an 80% owned subsi diary. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT PAGE Index........................................

In fiscal year 1997, Howard Phillips, a member of the board of directors of the Company served on a board of directors of another entity. Mr. Phillips is a member of the Board of Directors of Food Court Entertainment Network, Inc., an operator of shopping mall television networks, and Telechips Corp., a manufacturer of visual phones.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Donald Robar and Dr. Gerald Perlow. The compensation Committee met once during fiscal 1997. Mr. Shear did not participate in discussions concerning, or vote to approve, his salary. STOCK PLAN The Company's Stock Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 26, 1993 and approved by the stockholders of the Company on November 30, 1993. The Stock Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 300,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees and the grant of nonqualified stock options or restricted stock to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. The Stock Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Stock Plan, the Board of Directors has the authority to select the optionees or restricted stock recipients and determine the terms of the options or restricted stock granted, including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option cannot be less than the market price of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. Generally, an option is not transferable by the optionholder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Also, generally, no option may be exercised more than 60 days following termination of employment. However, in the event that termination is due to death or disability, the option is exercisable for a period of one year following such termination. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had issued options to purchase a total of 207,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 1993 Stock Plan at a price per share ranging from $3.50 to $7.00 per share. On February 18, 1997, the Board of Directors repriced all outstanding options, other than options granted to members of the Board of Directors, at $3.50 per share. On August 1, 1997 the Company issued an additional 75,000 options at an exercise price of $2.63. Generally, options are exercisable upon grant for 25% of the shares covered with an additional 25% becoming exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 13,375 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued through the exercise of options by employees and 100 shares were issued to a former employee. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN On October 18, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to provide employees who work in excess of 20 hours per week and more than five months per year rights to elect to participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") which became effective February 1, 1996. No more than 100,000 shares may be sold under this Plan. The price per share shall be the lesser of 85% of fair market value on the Offering Date or 85% of the fair market value of a share on the date such right is exercised. Currently there is an offering period under the plan which began on February 1, 1997 and will end on January 31, 1998. There are thirty employees participating in this plan period. NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK PLAN The Company's Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the "Director Plan") was adopted by the directors on October 18, 1995 and approved by the Stockholders of the Company on December 15, 1995. Non-qualified options to purchase a total of 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are available for issuance under the Director Plan. The Director Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board. Under the Director Plan, each director of the Company who was a director at the time of adoption of the Director Plan and who was not a current or former employee of the Company received an option to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock as equals 500 multiplied by the years of service of such director as of the date of the grant. At each annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company following the initial grant described above, each nonemployee director granted under the Director Plan an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company. The option exercise price is the fair market value of the shares of the Company's Class A Common stock on the date of grant. The options are non-transferable and become exercisable as follows: 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. If an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors other than for death or permanent disability, the unexercised portion of the options, to the extent unvested, immediately terminate, and the unexercised portion of the options which have vested lapse 180 days after the date the optionee ceases to serve on the Board. In the event of death or permanent disability, all unexercised options vest and the optionee or his or her legal representative has the right to exercise the option for a period of 180 days or until the expiration of the option, if sooner. On January 23, 1996, a total of 5,500 options were issued under the Director Plan at an exercise price of $6.63 per share. On February 18, 1997, a total of 6,000 options were issued under the Director Plan at an exercise price of $3.50. As of September 15, 1997, none of these options had been exercised. ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK On December 17, 1993, the Company issued 11,250 and 19,750 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to certain directors and officers of the Company, respectively, at a purchase price of $4.00 per share. The shares of restricted stock were issued pursuant to the Company's Stock Plan. Each purchaser paid to the Company 25% of the purchase price for his or her shares in cash, and the balance with a non-recourse note. The notes bear interest at 6% per year, are payable quarterly in arrears, and became due March 31, 1997. To secure the payment obligation under the non-recourse notes, shares paid for with these notes have been pledged to the Company. See "Certain Transactions." The notes reached maturity on March 31, 1997. Two employees were in default. Mark Cowell forfeited 6,925 shares and Joan Chamberlain forfeited 1,731 shares which are currently held as treasury stock. On September 30, 1996 the company issued 15,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock as part of the acquisition of North Point. The Company also issued 150,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock as part of the acquisition of BSC.

RELATED PARTY INDEBTEDNESS For approximately the last ten years, Bruce A. Shear, a director and the President, Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer of the Company, and persons affiliated and associated with him have made a series of unsecured loans to the Company and its subsidiaries to enable them to meet ongoing financial commitments. The borrowings generally were entered into when the Company did not have financing available from outside sources and, in the opinion of the Company, were entered into at market rates given the financial condition of the Company and the risks of repayment at the time the loans were made. As of June 30, 1997, the Company owed an aggregate of $75,296 to related parties. During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company paid an aggregate of $114,771 in principal and accured interest under various Notes to related parties. As of June 30, 1997, the Company owed Bruce A.

Eisner & Company, LLP Accountants and Consultants INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholders PHC, Inc. Peabody, Massachusetts We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PHC, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PHC, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and consolidation: PHC, Inc. ("PHC") operates substance abuse treatment centers in several locations in the United States, a nursing home in Massachusetts, a psychiatric hospital in Michigan and psychiatric outpatient facilities in Nevada, Kansas and Michigan. PHC, Inc. also manages a psychiatric practice in New York, operates an outpatient facility through a physicians practice, and operates behavioral health centers through its newest acquisitions. PHC of Utah, Inc. ("PHU"), PHC of Virginia, Inc. ("PHV") and PHC of Rhode Island, Inc. ("PHR") provide treatment of addictive disorders and chemical dependency. PHC of Michigan, Inc. ("PHM") provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care. PHC of Nevada, Inc. ("PHN") and PHC of Kansas, Inc. ("PHK") provide psychiatric treatment on an outpatient basis. North Point-Pioneer, Inc. ("NPP") operates six outpatient behavioral health centers under the name of Pioneer Counseling Centers. Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. ("BSC") provides management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological practices (see Note L). Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. ("PCV'), an 80% owned subsidiary provides outpatient services through a physicians practice (see Note L). Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. ("Quality Care") operates a long-term care facility known as the Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. STL, Inc. ("STL") operated day care centers (see Note J). The consolidated financial statements include PHC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred start-up costs related to an addition at Quality Care prior to obtaining a license to admit patients. These costs, amounting to $128,313, are included in other expense in the accompanying statement of operations under the caption "Start-up Costs". During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded an increase in its accounts receivable reserve, a substantial portion of the increase was recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company is currently reviewing these adjustments to determine if some of these adjustments should have been made in prior fiscal quarters. Revenues and accounts receivable: Patient care revenues are recorded at established billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor agreements are subject to examination and adjustment, and amounts realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment. Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts accrued and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of settlement. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue at the Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is derived from patients under the Medicaid and Medicare programs. There have been, and the Company expects that there will continue to be, a number of proposals to limit Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, as well as reimbursement from certain private payor sources for both Franvale and substance abuse treatment center services. The Company cannot predict at this time whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted and implemented, what effect such proposals would have on the Company. Medicaid reimbursements are currently based on established rates depending on the level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively at the beginning of each calendar year. Medicare reimbursements are currently based on provisional rates that are adjusted retroactively based on annual calendar cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare. The Company's calendar year cost reports to Medicare are routinely audited on an annual basis. The Company periodically reviews its provisional billing rates and provides for estimated Medicare adjustments. The Company believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare audits. F-7 PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30,1997 and 1996 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenues and accounts receivable: (continued) The Company has $1,787,000 receivables, from Medicaid and Medicare, at June 30, 1997, which constitutes a concentration of credit risk should Medicaid and Medicare defer or be unable to make reimbursement payments as due. Charity care amounted to approximately $725,000 and $865,000 at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively and is classified as patient care revenue and an equal amount of cost is charged to patient care expenses in the statements of operations. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using accelerated and straight-line methods. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Estimated Assets Useful Life _______ __________________ Buildings 20 through 39 years Furniture and equipment 3 through 10 years Motor vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Term of lease Other assets: Other assets represent deposits, deferred expenses and covenants not to compete. Covenants not to compete are amortized over the life of the underlying agreement using the straight line method. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization: The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired are being amortized on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives, generally twenty years. Loss per share: Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period excluding Class C common shares held in escrow. Common stock equivalents have been excluded since they are antidilutive. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-8 PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30,1997 and 1996 NOTE A-THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTIN POLICIES (CONTINUED) Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months. Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. Impairment of long-lived assets: During the year ended June 30, 1997 the Company wrote-off the carrying value of the goodwill for one of its subsidiaries in the amount of approximately $50,000. Stock-based compensation: The Company accounts for its employee stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans.

NOTE H - STOCK PLANS [1] Stock plans: The Company has three stock plans: a stock option plan, an employee stock purchase plan and a nonemployee directors' stock option plan. The stock option plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 300,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this plan, the compensation committee has the authority to select the optionees and determine the terms of the options including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price of the Class A common stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. The employee stock purchase plan provides for the purchase of Class A common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specific dates, to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees. A maximum of 1 00,000 shares may be issued under this plan. Also in October 1995, the Company adopted a nonemployee directors' stock option plan that provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of the Board. Through June 30, 1997, options for 1 1,500 shares were granted under this plan. A maximum of 30,000 shares may be issued under this plan.

In February 1997, all 95,375 shares underlying the then outstanding employee stock options were repriced to the current market price, using the existing exercise durations. Under the above plans 179,198 shares are available for future grant or purchase. The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans for fiscal 1997 and 1996: Number Weighted-Average of Exercise Price Shares Per Share Option plans: Balance - June 30, 1995 92,000 $5.10 Granted 46,500 $6.20 Cancelled (1,250) $5.00 Exercised (22,500) $5.06 Balance - June 30, 1996 114,750 $5.56 Granted 125,500 $4.56 Repriced options: Original (95,375) $5.99 Repriced 95,375 $3.50 Cancelled (21,400) $6.05 Exercised (13,475) $5.16 Balance - June 30, 1997 205,375 $4.27 _________ Options for 89,250 shares are exercisable as of June 30, 1997 at exercise prices ranging from $2.87 to $6.63 and a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $3.71 per share, with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately three years.

The finders fee is payable in Class A common stock and in cash. Information is not available to present pro forma financial information relating to the 1997 acquisitions. The Company has so advised the Securities and Exchange Commission and has received a no action letter with respect to this matter. Had the acquisitions made during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, been made as of July 1, 1995, the pro forma effect on the Company's results of operations is immaterial.

The interest rate is calculated at 5.5% plus the six-month LIBOR rate which is 11.5% and 11.3% at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The amount of receivables subject to recourse at June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $577,000 and the agreement states that total sales of such outstanding receivables are not to exceed $4,000,000. Proceeds from the sale of these receivables totalled approximately $3,000,000 and $3,500,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The purchase fees related to the agreement amount to approximately $127,000 and $73,720 for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Additional Information. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company provided for allowances for bad debts based on historical experience supplemented by certain other current information. During the preparation of the annual financial statements for fiscal 1997, it was determined that the allowances were understated based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable data. The Company reviewed the year-end adjustments to determine if some of the adjustments should have been made in the prior fiscal quarters of fiscal 1997. The Company has concluded that it is not possible to determine what adjustments, if any, should have been made to allowance reserves in prior fiscal quarters of 1997 because the information on which the year-end analysis was based is not available on a quarterly basis. The Company has changed its internal systems to make such information available on a quarterly basis in the future and will analyze such data to determine the adequacy of its reserves for future quarterly financial statements commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 1997. ITEM 7 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Many typographical errors were identified in the Financial Statement printing. Note I - Segment Information was changed to show net revenues from PDSS operations. Note K - Certain capital transactions were changed to show the effect of dilution activity through June 30, 1997. Financial Statements are being resubmitted in their entirety to avoid confusion.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and consolidation: PHC, Inc. ("PHC") operates substance abuse treatment centers in several locations in the United States, a nursing home in Massachusetts, a psychiatric hospital in Michigan and psychiatric outpatient facilities in Nevada, Kansas and Michigan. PHC, Inc. also manages a psychiatric practice in New York, operates an outpatient facility through a physicians practice, and operates behavioral health centers through its newest acquisitions. PHC of Utah, Inc. ("PHU"), PHC of Virginia, Inc. ("PHV") and PHC of Rhode Island, Inc. ("PHR") provide treatment of addictive disorders and chemical dependency. PHC of Michigan, Inc. ("PHM") provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care. PHC of Nevada, Inc. ("PHN") and PHC of Kansas, Inc. ("PHK") provide psychiatric treatment on an outpatient basis. North Point-Pioneer, Inc. ("NPP") operates six outpatient behavioral health centers under the name of Pioneer Counseling Centers. Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. ("BSC") provides management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological practices (see Note L). Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. ("PCV'), an 80% owned subsidiary provides outpatient services through a physicians practice (see Note L). Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. ("Quality Care") operates a long-term care facility known as the Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. STL, Inc. ("STL") operated day care centers (see Note J). The consolidated financial statements include PHC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred start-up costs related to an addition at Quality Care prior to obtaining a license to admit patients. These costs, amounting to $128,313, are included in other expense in the accompanying statement of operations under the caption "Start-up Costs". During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded an increase in its accounts receivable reserve, a substantial portion of the increase was recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company is currently reviewing these adjustments to determine if some of these adjustments should have been made in prior fiscal quarters. Revenues and accounts receivable: Patient care revenues are recorded at established billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor agreements are subject to examination and adjustment, and amounts realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment. Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts accrued and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of settlement. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue at the Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is derived from patients under the Medicaid and Medicare programs. There have been, and the Company expects that there will continue to be, a number of proposals to limit Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, as well as reimbursement from certain private payor sources for both Franvale and substance abuse treatment center services. The Company cannot predict at this time whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted and implemented, what effect such proposals would have on the Company. Medicaid reimbursements are currently based on established rates depending on the level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively at the beginning of each calendar year. Medicare reimbursements are currently based on provisional rates that are adjusted retroactively based on annual calendar cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare. The Company's calendar year cost reports to Medicare are routinely audited on an annual basis. The Company periodically reviews its provisional billing rates and provides for estimated Medicare adjustments. The Company believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare audits. F-7 PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30,1997 and 1996 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenues and accounts receivable: (continued) The Company has $1,787,000 receivables, from Medicaid and Medicare, at June 30, 1997, which constitutes a concentration of credit risk should Medicaid and Medicare defer or be unable to make reimbursement payments as due. Charity care amounted to approximately $725,000 and $865,000 at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively and is classified as patient care revenue and an equal amount of cost is charged to patient care expenses in the statements of operations. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using accelerated and straight-line methods. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Estimated Assets Useful Life _______ __________________ Buildings 20 through 39 years Furniture and equipment 3 through 10 years Motor vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Term of lease Other assets: Other assets represent deposits, deferred expenses and covenants not to compete. Covenants not to compete are amortized over the life of the underlying agreement using the straight line method. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization: The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired are being amortized on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives, generally twenty years. Loss per share: Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period excluding Class C common shares held in escrow. Common stock equivalents have been excluded since they are antidilutive. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-8 PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30,1997 and 1996 NOTE A-THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTIN POLICIES (CONTINUED) Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months. Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. Impairment of long-lived assets: During the year ended June 30, 1997 the Company wrote-off the carrying value of the goodwill for one of its subsidiaries in the amount of approximately $50,000. Stock-based compensation: The Company accounts for its employee stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company adopted the disclosure only alternative in fiscal year 1997 which requires disclosure of the pro forma effects on loss and loss per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted, as well as certain other information.

The number of shares of Class A common stock into which the debentures may be converted is determined by dividing the principal amount to be converted by the conversion price. The conversion price is equal to 94% of the average closing bid price of the Class A common stock as reported by NASDAQ for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. The beneficial conversion feature, valued at $130,284, was recorded as additional interest. In addition, on March 31, 1997 the Company issued warrants to the debenture holders as compensation for amending the debenture agreement to allow for a later filing of the Registration Statement which was originally required to be filed in December 1996. The warrants provide for the purchase of 150,000 shares of Class A common stock at $2.00 per share and expire in 2003. The warrants were valued at $125,000. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, all of the convertible debentures were converted into 1,331,696 shares of Class A common stock. The Company has entered into a revolving credit note and a secured note with maximum advances of $1,500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. Advances are made based on a percentage of accounts receivable and principal is payable upon receipt of proceeds of the accounts receivable. Interest is payable monthly at prime plus 2.25% (10.75% at June 30, 1997). These agreements expire on February 1999 and July 1998, respectively, automatically renewable for one-year periods thereafter unless terminated by either party.

NOTE H - STOCK PLANS [1] Stock plans: The Company has three stock plans: a stock option plan, an employee stock purchase plan and a nonemployee directors' stock option plan. The stock option plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 300,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this plan, the compensation committee has the authority to select the optionees and determine the terms of the options including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price of the Class A common stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. The employee stock purchase plan provides for the purchase of Class A common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specific dates, to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees. A maximum of 1 00,000 shares may be issued under this plan. Also in October 1995, the Company adopted a nonemployee directors' stock option plan that provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of the Board. Through June 30, 1997, options for 1 1,500 shares were granted under this plan. A maximum of 30,000 shares may be issued under this plan. Each outside director shall be granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Class A F-14 PHC, INC.

In February 1997, all 95,375 shares underlying the then outstanding employee stock options were repriced to the current market price, using the existing exercise durations. Under the above plans 179,198 shares are available for future grant or purchase. The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans for fiscal 1997 and 1996: Number Weighted-Average of Exercise Price Shares Per Share _________ ________________ Option plans: Balance - June 30, 1995 92,000 $5.10 Granted 46,500 $6.20 Cancelled (1,250) $5.00 Exercised (22,500) $5.06 _________ Balance - June 30, 1996 114,750 $5.56 Granted 125,500 $4.56 Repriced options: Original (95,375) $5.99 Repriced 95,375 $3.50 Cancelled (21,400) $6.05 Exercised (13,475) $5.16 _________ Balance - June 30, 1997 205,375 $4.27 _________ Options for 89,250 shares are exercisable as of June 30, 1997 at exercise prices ranging from $2.87 to $6.63 and a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $3.71 per share, with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately three years.

In June 1997, the Company received $1,000,000 in exchange for the issuance of Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $2.75 per share and expire in 2000. The warrants were valued at $30,000. The number of shares of Class A common stock into which the preferred stock may be converted is equal to 80% of the closing bid price of the Class A common stock as reported by NASDAQ for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion. The beneficial conversion feature, due to the 80% discount above, valued at $200,000 was recorded as additional dividends. In June 1997, 500 shares of preferred stock were converted into 229,640 shares of Class A common stock. Subsequent to year-end the 500 remaining shares of preferred stock were converted into 246,305 shares of Class A common stock. The issuance of these securities will result in the issuance of some additional Class A common shares under existing dilution agreements with other stockholders. Cumulative preferred dividends are at the rate of $60 per share per year, payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in cash or in shares of preferred stock at $1,000 per share. At June 30, 1997, accrued dividends amounted to $4,330. Certain Consultant Warrants may be canceled if certain stock prices, as defined in the agreement, are not achieved by March 3, 1998. In February 1996, the Company issued, in a private placement, units comprised of 6,250 shares of Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 9,375 shares of Class A common stock.

Fees and expenses payable in connection with the offering total $442,395. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable warrant agreement, each warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $4.00, subject to adjustment upon certain events. The warrants expire in January 1999. Upon the issuance of the units described above, certain additional shares of Class A common stock or securities exercisable therefor become issuable under the antidilution provisions of certain outstanding securities of the Company.
