3. CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
On August 26, 1998 the litigation as discussed in Note 8 of the February 28,
1998 financial statements involving the Yolo Capital subsidiary ("Yolo") was
settled. All counterclaims against Yolo were dismissed. The property at Hunter
is no longer under lien.
PSI LITIGATION
In 1993, shareholders of Programming and Systems, Inc. ("PSI") brought a class
action against PSI and certain of its officers in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, which was settled by a Stipulation
of Settlement dated as of November 15, 1993 (the "Stipulation"), pursuant to
which PSI Settlement Corp. ("Nexus") was formed. On January 21, 1994, Judge
Robert Sweet signed the Order confirming the Stipulation. Pursuant to that
Stipulation (i) the eligible shareholders of PSI received a pro-rata
distribution of $1,400,000, after deduction of the fees and expenses of the
class action, which amounted to $.50 per share, and (ii) all the shares of Nexus
were delivered to Escrow Agents to hold for the benefit of all shareholders of
PSI. Pursuant to the Orders of Judge Sweet, PSI transferred certain assets to
Nexus as specified in the Stipulation and the Court's Orders. These payments,
including the shares of Nexus, fully settled all of the claims by PSI
shareholders that could have been asserted against PSI and the other defendants
in the class action.
On June 12, 1995, Judge Sweet signed an Order approving an amendment of the
Stipulation which permitted Nexus to operate as an ongoing entity rather than
liquidating its assets, provided the escrowed shares of Nexus were delivered out
to PSI shareholders by June 12, 1997 (such shares were delivered on August 12,
1996) and listed for trading on NASDAQ.
In addition to settling the class action and making payment to shareholders, PSI
has now settled the action by the Securities and Exchange Commission against it
and resolved the material claims and lawsuits which arose out of its
discontinued vocational school operations.

3. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
At the present time, PSI is indebted to (i) the United States Department of
Education for $1,000,000 by reason of the fraudulent conduct of a former chief
executive officer, (ii) to the Internal Revenue Service for $416,000
representing excess refunds of income taxes made by IRS to PSI plus interest
thereon and (iii) to a former landlord of a PSI school for $98,621. As a result
of the Stipulation described above, the Company believes it is not responsible
for the obligations of PSI.

6. NOTES PAYABLE
In September 1998 the food service division entered into a term loan agreement
with a bank which was used to finance the opening of the seventeenth restaurant.
The loan is for $600,000 and bears interest at the rate of 8.75%. The first four
payments are for interest only, followed by 56 monthly payments of principal and
interest in the amount of $5,998. On June 22, 2003 a balloon payment will be due
in the amount of $498,319. The loan is secured by a first deed of trust on the
leasehold estate and a first lien security position in all equipment and
furnishings of the restaurant. As additional collateral for the loan, a second
deed of trust was pledged on a restaurant in another location.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF INTERIM OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
All statements contained herein that are not historical facts,
including but not limited to, statements regarding future operations, financial
condition and liquidity, expenditures to develop real estate owned by the
Company, future borrowing, capital requirements and the Company's future
development plans are based on current expectations. These statements are
forward looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Actual results may differ materially. Among the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially are the following: changes in the business of the
Company's medical provider clients, changes in the real estate, fast food and
financial markets, and other risk factors described in the Company's reports
filed and to be filed from time to time with the Commission. The discussion and
analysis below is based on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the six months and three months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of results of operations and financial condition included in the 1998
10-K.
OVERVIEW
Nexus generates revenues from three business segments: food services, real
estate and medical financing. Revenues in the real estate division vary
substantially from period to period depending on when a particular transaction
closes and depending on whether the closed transaction is recognized for
accounting purposes as a sale or reflected as a financing or is deferred to a
future period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1998 PERIODS COMPARED TO THE 1997 PERIODS
The Company's revenues decreased by $51,000, or 1%, for the three
months ended August 31, 1998 to $4,810,000 from $4,861,000 for the three months
ended August 31, 1997. Revenues decreased by $168,000, or 2%, for the six months
ended August 31, 1998 to $9,162,000 from $9,330,000 for the six months ended
August 31, 1997 The reduction was a result of decreased revenues in the food
service division offset by increased revenues in the real estate and medical
financing divisions.
The revenue decrease in the the food service division for the three
months ended August 31, 1998 was $194,000 and $522,000 for the six months ended
August 31, 1998 as compared to the same periods in the prior years. The decrease
was attributable primarily to the higher revenue in the 1997 period resulting
from special national advertising, which was used to implement new menu and
promotional items. In addition, the opening of a competing restaurant at one of
the locations adversely affected revenues. Revenue in the real estate division
increased by $57,000 for the three months ended
-11-
13
August 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1997. Revenues
in the real estate division for the six months ended August 31, 1998 increased
by $142,000 as compared to the same period in 1997. The additional revenue in
the real estate division was attributable to the sale of real estate in the 1998
period and increases in interest and rental income. Growth in revenues in the
medical financing division for the three months and six months ended August 31,
1998 was $87,000 and $212,000 as compared to the same periods in 1997. The
increase in revenues was due to the increase in the medical insurance claims
receivables that were purchased in the current period from existing and new
customers.
Costs and expenses increased $25,000, or less than 1%, for the three
months ended August 31, 1998, to $4,763,000 from $4,738,000 for the three months
ended August 31, 1997. Costs and expenses decreased $38,000, or less than 1% for
the six months ended August 31, 1998, to $9,182,000 from $9,220,000 for the six
months ended August 31, 1997. The net increase for the three months ended August
31, 1998 was due to decreases in the food service division of $127,000 and
$7,000 in depreciation and amortization, which were offset by increases of
$83,000 in the medical financing division and $75,000 in corporate expenses. The
net decrease for the six months ended August 31, 1998 was due to decreases in
the food service division of $302,000, $22,000 in the real estate division and
$12,000 in depreciation and amortization, which were offset by increases of
$162,000 in the medical financing division and $135,000 in corporate expenses.
The decrease in the costs and expenses of the food service division is
attributable to the decrease in food costs due to the reduced revenues for both
the six month and three month periods ended August 31, 1998 as compared with the
same periods ended in the prior year. This was offset by higher labor costs,
which are due in part to an increase in the minimum wage and the hiring of
additional managers in restaurants that were previously understaffed during the
prior periods. The decrease in the real estate division is attributable to a
reduction in operating costs. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily
due to the additional costs related to the initial registration of the Company's
common stock pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 in 1998. The
increase of the costs and expenses of the medical financing division was
attributable to additional expenditures on staff and systems as a result of the
increase in volume.
For the reasons noted above, income from operations decreased $76,000
from a profit of $123,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1997 to a profit
of $47,000 for the three months ended August 31,1998. Income from operations
decreased $130,000 from a profit of $110,000 for the six months ended August 31,
1997 to a loss of $20,000 for the six months ended August 31,1998. Net interest
costs decreased $53,000 and the provision for tax decreased $3,000 producing a
net loss of $18,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1998 as compared to a
profit of $1,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1997. Net interest costs
decreased $106,000 and the provision for tax increased $4,000 producing an
increase in net loss of $27,000, from a loss of $116,000 for the six months
ended August 31, 1997 to a loss of $143,000 for the six months ended August 31,
1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's three business activities during the six month period
ended August 31, 1998 resulted in the use of cash in the amount of $322,000. The
Company expects growth of its medical financing division to increase which will
result in the continued use of cash. The funds for those needs are expected to
be provided from financing activities such as asset-based borrowing on the
Company's mortgages and accounts receivable. Cash flow provided from the food
service division decreased by $30,000 to $791,000 for the six months ended
August 31, 1998 as compared with $821,000 for the same period in 1997. The
Company's anticipated reduction in the amount of capital expenditures should
result in cash continuing to be provided from the food service division for the
balance of the current fiscal year. Management believes the effects of
competition at one of its locations will diminish and the addition of new menu
items will have a positive effect on cash flow during fiscal 1999. The real
estate division is not expected to be a significant user of cash flow from
operations by reason of the disposition as of January 1, 1998 of the formerly
vacant space in the Granby, CT property. The Company's real estate assets in
Hunter, NY and Brookfield, CT. are owned free and clear of mortgages. Further
development of those properties, at any significant cost, is expected to be
funded by asset-based financing. The Company believes that its present cash
resources and the cash available from financing activities will be sufficient on
a short-term basis and over the next 12 months to fund continued expansion of
its medical financing business, its company-wide working capital needs and
expected investments in property and equipment. The Company intends to pace its
growth in the medical financing division to its capacity to provide the funds
internally and from its financing activities.
Cash provided by operations during the six months ended August 31, 1998
was $331,000 compared to $61,000 provided during the same period in the prior
year. The increase in 1998 was due to fluctuations in operating assets and
liabilities primarily caused by timing differences in the payment of accounts
payable and the collection of a rebate due from a soft drink vendor in the food
service division. Cash used in investing activities was $572,000 for six months
ended August 31, 1998 as compared with $433,000 used in the prior year. The
increase in the use of cash in 1998 was due to an increase in capital
expenditures related to the opening of the seventeenth Wendy's restaurant, a
lower amount that was due and collected from notes receivable and increases in
payments to finance customers, offset by a decrease in purchased medical claims
receivable. Net cash used by financing activities was $81,000 during the six
months ended August 31, 1998 as compared with $71,000 used in the prior year.
The increase in the use of cash in 1998 was due fluctuations in borrowing and
repayment of debt offset by a decrease in the proceeds from finance obligation.
In September 1998, the food service division closed on a $600,000 loan which was
used to finance the opening of the seventeenth restaurant.
