All 200,000 shares (the "Shares") may be offered from time to time by ENStar Inc., a stockholder of the Company (the "Selling Stockholder" or "ENStar"), for its own account. The Selling Stockholder is a wholly-owned subsidiary of North Star Universal, Inc. ("North Star"). The Shares may be offered by the Selling Stockholder from time to time in a transaction or series of transactions in the over-the- counter market, in a negotiated transaction or transactions, or in a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholder or its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may effect such transaction or transactions by selling the Shares to or through broker-dealers and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchaser or purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). See "Sale of the Shares." The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares. The Selling Stockholder has agreed to bear all costs and expenses in connection with the registration of the Shares. The Company's Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "CRVL." On November 29, 1996 the average of the high and low price for the Common Stock was $25.50 per share. _______________________________ THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

THE COMPANY CorVel is a nationwide provider of medical cost containment and managed care services designed to control the medical costs of workers' compensation. The Company's services include automated medical fee auditing, early intervention, utilization review, medical case management, vocational rehabilitation services, and independent medical examinations. Such services are provided to insurance companies, third party administrators, and self-administered employers to assist them in managing the medical costs and monitoring the quality of care associated with workers' compensation claims. Workers' compensation regulations vary by state and the industry is highly fragmented. The Company's specialization in workers' compensation, breadth of services, information management systems and ability to offer local services on a nationwide basis enhance its ability to compete in the workers' compensation market. The Company believes that payors and employers impacted by the medical costs of workers' compensation continue to require services and programs to manage such costs. The Company's business strategy is to continue to expand its range of services, branch office network, and information management capabilities to respond to this need on both a local and national level. The principal executive offices of CorVel are located at 1920 Main Street, Suite 1090, Irvine, California 92714. CorVel's telephone number is (714) 851-1473.

Potential Adverse Impact of Government Regulation. Many states, including a number of those in which the Company transacts business, have licensing and other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company's business. Approximately half of the states have enacted laws that require licensing of businesses which provide medical review services, such as the Company. Some of these laws apply to medical review of care covered by workers' compensation. These laws typically establish minimum standards for qualifications of personnel, confidentiality, internal quality control, and dispute resolution procedures. These regulatory programs may result in increased costs of operation for the Company, which may have an adverse impact upon the Company's ability to compete with other available alternatives for health care cost control. In addition, new laws regulating the operation of managed care provider networks have been adopted by a number of states. These laws may apply to managed care provider networks having contracts with the Company or to provider networks which the Company may organize. To the extent the Company is governed by these regulations, it may be subject to additional licensing requirements, financial oversight and procedural standards for beneficiaries and providers. Regulation in the health care and workers' compensation fields is constantly evolving. The Company is unable to predict what additional government regulations, if any, affecting its business may be promulgated in the future. The Company's business may be adversely affected by failure to comply with existing laws and regulations, failure to obtain necessary licenses and government approvals or failure to adapt to new or modified regulatory requirements. Proposals for health care legislative reforms are regularly considered at the federal and state levels. To the extent that such proposals affect workers' compensation, such proposals may adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations. In addition, changes in workers' compensation laws or regulations may impact demand for the Company's services, require the Company to develop new or modified services to meet the demands of the marketplace or modify the fees that the Company may charge for its services. One of the proposals which has been considered is 24-hour health coverage, in which the coverage of traditional employer-sponsored health plans is combined with workers' compensation coverage to provide a single insurance plan for work-related and non-work-related health problems. Incorporating workers' compensation coverage into conventional health plans may adversely affect the market for the Company's services. Possible Litigation and Legal Liability. The Company, through its utilization management services, makes recommendations concerning the appropriateness of providers' medical treatment plans of patients throughout the country, and it could share in potential liabilities for adverse medical consequences. The Company does not grant or deny claims for payment of benefits and the Company does not believe that it engages in the practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not be subject to claims or litigation related to the grant or denial of claims for payment of benefits or allegations that the Company engages in the practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to other litigation that may adversely affect the Company's business or results of operations. The Company maintains professional liability insurance and such other coverages as the Company believes are reasonable in light of the Company's experience to date. There can be no assurance, however, that such insurance will be sufficient or available in the future at reasonable cost to protect the Company from liability which might adversely affect the Company's business or results of operations. Competition. The Company faces competition from large insurers, health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), third party administrators and other managed health care companies. The Company believes that, as managed care techniques continue to gain acceptance in the workers' compensation marketplace, CorVel's competitors will increasingly consist of nationally focused workers' compensation managed care service companies, insurance companies, HMOs and other significant providers of managed care products. Legislative reforms in some states permit employers to designate 3 4 health plans such as HMOs and PPOs to cover workers' compensation claimants. Because many health plans have the ability to manage medical costs for workers' compensation claimants, such legislation may intensify competition in the market served by the Company. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than those of the Company, and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to maintain its existing performance or be successful with any new products or in any new geographical markets it may enter. Changes in Market Dynamics. Legislative reforms in some states permit employers to designate health plans such as HMOs and PPOs to cover workers' compensation claimants. Because many health plans have the capacity to manage health care for workers' compensation claimants, such legislation may intensify competition in the market served by the Company. Within the past few years, several states have experienced decreases in the number of workers' compensation claims and the average cost per claim which have been reflected in workers' compensation insurance premium rate reductions in those states. The Company believes that declines in workers' compensation costs in these states are due principally to intensified efforts by payors to manage and control claim costs, to improved risk management by employers and to legislative reforms. If declines in workers' compensation costs occur in many states and persist over the long-term, they may have an adverse impact on the Company's business and results of operations. Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The Company is dependent to a substantial extent upon the continuing efforts and abilities of certain key management personnel including its Chief Executive Officer, V. Gordon Clemons. In addition, the Company faces competition for experienced employees with professional expertise in the workers' compensation managed care area. The loss of, or the inability to attract, qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Risks Related to Growth Strategy. The Company's strategy is to continue its internal growth and, as strategic opportunities arise in the workers' compensation managed care industry, to consider, and, if appropriate, make acquisitions of, or enter into strategic relationships with, other companies. As a result, the Company is subject to certain growth-related risks, including the risk that it will be unable to retain personnel or acquire other resources necessary to service such growth adequately. Expenses arising from the Company's efforts to increase its market penetration have had and may in the future have a negative impact on operating results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any suitable opportunities for strategic acquisitions or relationships will arise or, if they do arise, that the transactions contemplated thereby will be completed. If such a transaction does occur, there can no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate effectively any acquired business into the Company. In addition, any such transaction would be subject to various risks associated with the acquisition of businesses, including the financial impact of expenses associated with the integration of businesses, unknown liabilities related to the acquired business and the diversion of management resources to the integration of such businesses. There can be no assurance that any future acquisition or other strategic relationship will not have an adverse impact on the Company's business or results of operations. If suitable opportunities arise, the Company anticipates that it would finance such transactions, as well as its internal growth, through working capital or, in certain instances, through debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance, however, that such debt or equity financing would be available to the Company on acceptable terms when, and if, suitable strategic opportunities arise. The Company expects that a considerable amount of its future growth will depend on its ability to process and manage claims data more efficiently and to provide more meaningful healthcare information to customers and payors of healthcare. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop, license or otherwise acquire software to address these market demands as well as or as timely as its competitors. Risks Related to Vertical Market Expansion. During the past fiscal year, the Company has made efforts to increase its presence and revenue in the group health market with moderate success. Managed care in this market is more mature than managed care in the workers' compensation market and, as a result, the Company competes with numerous large, well established companies in this field including many large HMOs. The Company has limited experience in the group health market. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this market. 4 5 Possible Volatility of Stock Price. The market price of the Company's Common Stock following this offering may be highly volatile. Factors such as variations in the Company's revenues, earnings and cash flow, general market trends in the workers' compensation managed care market, announcements of acquisitions and innovations by the Company or its competitors, the impact of current or proposed governmental regulations related to the Company's business, competitive pressures, the loss of key customers, and declines in revenues and operating margins could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. The Company's quarter to quarter percentage growth in operating results in a number of the most recent fiscal quarters was lower than the quarter to quarter growth rates historically experienced by the Company. The Company's slower growth rates in those quarters was partially attributable to the decline in revenues from a key customer and a reduction in the growth rate of health care expenditures nationally, contributing to a reduction in claims processed by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience further declines in revenues from existing customers or that the growth rate of health care expenditures will not continue to decline and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the Company's growth rate in the future, if any, will be at or near historical levels. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience declines in operating margins and operating income due to price concessions offered to new and existing customers. Finally, the stock market has in the past experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected companies in the health care and managed care markets resulting in changes in the market price of the stock of many companies which may not have been directly related to the operating performance of those companies. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock following this offering. SELLING STOCKHOLDER The following table sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder as of November 11, 1996. Except as indicated, neither the Selling Stockholder nor its parent company, North Star, has had a material relationship with the Company within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of securities of the Company. Because the Selling Stockholder may offer some, all or none of the Shares pursuant to the offering contemplated by this Prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the Shares, no estimate can be given as to the amount of shares of Common Stock of the Company that will be held by the Selling Stockholder after completion of this offering. See "Sale of the Shares." The Shares offered by this Prospectus may be offered from time to time by the Selling Stockholder named below:

Mr. Michael is the President and Chief Executive Officer and a stockholder of North Star. Mr. Michael is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of ENStar. In addition, Mr. Michael is the managing general partner of the 3J2R Limited Partnership, a stockholder of North Star. Based on the foregoing, Mr. Michael may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares of the 5 6 Company's Common Stock held by ENStar. Mr. Michael disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of any indirect pecuniary interest therein. North Star's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "NSRU." North Star files periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to its business, financial condition and other matters.
