                           KINDRED HEALTHCARE, INC.
                (Formerly Vencor, Inc., a Debtor-in-Possession)
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  Kindred Healthcare Inc. ("Kindred" or the "Company") (formerly Vencor, Inc.)
provides long-term healthcare services primarily through the operation of
nursing centers and hospitals. At June 30, 2000, the Company's health services
division operated 321 nursing centers (41,113 licensed beds) in 31 states and a
rehabilitation therapy business. The Company's hospital division operated 56
hospitals (4,880 licensed beds) in 23 states and an institutional pharmacy
business.

   The Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code
(the "Bankruptcy Code") on September 13, 1999. The Company currently is
operating its businesses as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States Bankruptcy Court in Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").
Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") and generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that
assets will be realized and liabilities will be discharged in the normal course
of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of the Chapter 11
Cases (as defined) or other matters discussed in the accompanying notes. The
Company's continued operating losses, liquidity issues and the Chapter 11 Cases
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the
appropriateness of using the going concern basis of accounting are dependent
upon, among other things, (i) the Company's ability to comply with the terms of
the DIP Financing (as defined), (ii) confirmation of a plan of reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the Company's ability to achieve profitable
operations after such confirmation, and (iv) the Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash from operations to meet its obligations. The plan of
reorganization and other actions during the Chapter 11 Cases could change
materially the amounts currently recorded in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.  See Note 4.

   On May 1, 1998, Ventas, Inc. ("Ventas") completed the spin-off (the "Spin-
off") of its healthcare operations to its stockholders through the distribution
of Vencor common stock. Ventas retained ownership of substantially all of its
real property and leases such real property to the Company pursuant to four
master lease agreements. In anticipation of the Spin-off, the Company was
incorporated on March 27, 1998 as a Delaware corporation. For accounting
purposes, the consolidated historical financial statements of Ventas became the
historical financial statements of the Company upon consummation of the Spin-
off. Any discussion concerning events prior to May 1, 1998 refers to the
Company's business as it was conducted by Ventas prior to the Spin-off.

   The Company regularly reviews the carrying value of certain long-lived assets
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").  SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be
recognized for long-lived assets used in operations when indications of
impairment are present and the estimate of undiscounted future cash flows is not
sufficient to recover asset carrying amounts.  Operating results for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 include asset impairment charges of
$3.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles or those normally required in annual reports on Form 10-K.
Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31,
1999 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the Company's customary accounting practices
and the provisions of SOP 90-7.  Management believes that the financial
information included herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of interim results and, except for the transactions described in
Notes 3, 6 and 7, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

   In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company realigned its Vencare ancillary
services business.  Vencare's rehabilitation, speech and occupational therapy
businesses were integrated into the Company's health services division, and its
institutional pharmacy business was assigned to the hospital division.
Vencare's respiratory therapy and certain other ancillary businesses were
discontinued.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect the realignment of the former Vencare business for all
periods presented.

   Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted an amortization period of 20
years from the date of acquisition for goodwill.  Prior thereto, the Company
generally amortized such costs over 40 years.

   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current period presentation.


NOTE 2 -- RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   On August 14, 2001, the Company announced that it will restate certain of its
previously issued consolidated financial statements.  The Company recently
determined that an oversight related to the allowance for professional liability
risks had occurred in its consolidated financial statements beginning in 1998.
The oversight resulted in the understatement of the provision for professional
liability claims in 1998, 1999 and 2000 because the Company did not record a
reserve for claims incurred but not reported at the respective balance sheet
dates.  The cumulative understatement of professional liability claims reserves
approximated $5 million at December 31, 1998, $28 million at December 31, 1999
and $39 million at December 31, 2000.  The restatement had no effect on
previously reported cash flows from operations.

   The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein amend those
previously included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. Consolidated financial statement information and
related disclosures included in these amended unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect, where appropriate, changes resulting from the
restatement.

NOTE 3 -- ACCOUNTING CHANGE

   Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"), which requires the Company to
expense start-up costs, including organizational costs, as incurred.  In
accordance with the provisions of SOP 98-5, the Company wrote off $8.9 million
of such unamortized costs as a cumulative effect of  change in accounting
principle in the first quarter of 1999.

NOTE 4 -- PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

   On September 13, 1999, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries
filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code. The Chapter 11 cases have been consolidated for purposes of joint
administration under Case Nos. 99-3199 (MFW) through 99-3327 (MFW)
(collectively, the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The Company currently is operating its
businesses as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court.

   On September 14, 1999, the Company received approval from the Bankruptcy
Court to pay pre-petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries, benefits
and other employee obligations. The Bankruptcy Court also approved orders
granting authority, among other things, to pay pre-petition claims of certain
critical vendors, utilities and patient obligations. All other pre-petition
liabilities are classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet
as liabilities subject to compromise. The Company currently is paying the post-
petition claims of all vendors and providers in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 4 -- PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE (Continued)

   In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company entered into a $100
million debtor-in-possession financing agreement (the "DIP Financing") with a
bank group led by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (collectively, the
"DIP Lenders"). The Bankruptcy Court granted final approval of the DIP Financing
on October 1, 1999. The DIP Financing, which was initially scheduled to mature
on March 13, 2000, is comprised of a $75 million tranche A revolving loan (the
"Tranche A Loan") and a $25 million tranche B revolving loan (the "Tranche B
Loan"). Interest is payable at prime rate plus 2 1/2% on the Tranche A Loan and
prime rate plus 4 1/2% on the Tranche B Loan.

   Available aggregate borrowings under the Tranche A Loan were initially
limited to $45 million in September 1999 and increased to $65 million in
October, $70 million in November and $75 million thereafter. Pursuant to an
amendment to the DIP Financing, the aggregate borrowing limitations under the
Tranche A Loans are limited to approximately $68 million until maturity and are
reduced for asset sales made by the Company.  At June 30, 2000, aggregate
available borrowings under the Tranche A Loan were $63 million.  Borrowings
under the Tranche B Loan require the approval of lenders holding at least 75% of
the credit exposure under the DIP Financing. The DIP Financing is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including
certain owned real property. The DIP Financing contains standard representations
and warranties and other affirmative and restrictive covenants. At June 30,
2000, there were no outstanding borrowings under the DIP Financing.

   Since the consummation of the DIP Financing, the Company and the DIP Lenders
have agreed to several amendments to the DIP Financing. These amendments
approved various changes to the DIP Financing including (i) extending the period
of time for the Company to file its plan of reorganization, (ii) approving
certain transactions, (iii) revising the Company's cash plan originally
submitted with the DIP Financing and (iv) revising certain financial covenants.
In December 1999, the Company informed the DIP Lenders that it planned to record
a significant charge to earnings in the fourth quarter of 1999 related to the
valuation of accounts receivable that could have resulted in noncompliance with
certain covenants in the DIP Financing requiring minimum Consolidated EBITDAR
and a minimum Net Amount of Eligible Accounts (both as defined in the DIP
Financing). In connection with the third amendment to the DIP Financing, the
Company received a waiver from compliance with these covenants of the DIP
Financing through February 14, 2000. The Company received subsequent waivers
from compliance with these covenants in later amendments.

   At December 31, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with the DIP
Financing covenant related to the minimum Net Amount of Eligible Accounts
(accounts receivable).  Since there were no outstanding borrowings under the DIP
Financing at December 31, 1999, the event of default had no effect on the
Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements. Effective April 12, 2000, the
Company and the DIP Lenders agreed to an additional amendment to the DIP
Financing to revise the covenant related to the minimum Net Amount of Eligible
Accounts.  In the amendment, the DIP Lenders also waived all events of default
regarding this covenant that occurred prior to the date of the amendment.

   On June 12, 2000, the Company entered into a commitment letter  (the
"Commitment Letter") with certain of the DIP Lenders to finance an amended and
restated debtor-in-possession credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount
of $90 million (the "Restated DIP").  The Restated DIP would become effective in
the event the Company became involved in a legal proceeding against Ventas.  The
Commitment Letter will expire on August 31, 2000 unless the Company obtains
Bankruptcy Court approval of the Commitment Letter and pays all fees payable
upon such approval.  The hearing on the motion is scheduled for August 23, 2000.
Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, the Restated DIP will not be available
unless it becomes effective on or prior to September 30, 2000.

NOTE 4 -- PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE (Continued)

   In the recent amendments to the DIP Financing, the parties agreed, among
other things, to extend the maturity date of the DIP Financing until September
30, 2000 and to extend the period of time for the Company to file its plan of
reorganization to August 17, 2000.

   On November 4, 1999, the Company received approval (subject to certain
conditions) to implement a management retention plan (the "Management Retention
Plan") to enhance the ability of the Company to retain key management employees
during the reorganization period. Under the Management Retention Plan, bonuses
aggregating $7.3 million will be awarded to certain key management employees
based upon various percentages of their annual salary. The Management Retention
Plan provides that the retention bonuses be paid in three equal amounts upon:
(i) the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Management Retention Plan, (ii) the
effective date of the plan of reorganization and (iii) three months following
the effective date of the plan of reorganization.

   Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness
against the Company are subject to an automatic stay and other contractual
obligations against the Company may not be enforced. The automatic stay does not
necessarily apply to certain actions against Ventas for which the Company has
agreed to indemnify Ventas in connection with the Spin-off.  In addition, the
Company may assume or reject executory contracts, including lease obligations,
under the Bankruptcy Code. Parties affected by these rejections may file claims
with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the reorganization process.

   As previously disclosed, the Company is developing a plan of reorganization
through negotiations with key parties including its senior bank lenders (the
"Senior Lenders"), the holders of the Company's $300 million 9 7/8% Guaranteed
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "1998 Notes"), Ventas, the Department of
Justice (the "DOJ"), acting on behalf of the Health Care Financing
Administration ("HCFA") and the Department of Health and Human Services' Office
of the Inspector General (the "OIG") and the advisors to the official committee
of unsecured creditors.  The Company has made substantial progress in its
discussions with Ventas, the Senior Lenders, the holders of the 1998 Notes, the
DOJ and the unsecured creditors committee toward a consensual plan of
reorganization.

   On August 11, 2000, the Company filed a motion to extend its exclusive right
to submit a plan of reorganization through September 29, 2000.  The hearing on
this motion is scheduled for September 6, 2000. The Bankruptcy Court currently
has extended the Company's exclusive right to submit a plan of reorganization
through August 17, 2000. The Company has requested an interim order from the
Bankruptcy Court to maintain the Company's exclusive right to file a plan of
reorganization until the motion is decided. The Company also will seek approval
under the DIP Financing to permit the Company to extend the period of time to
file its plan of reorganization.

   On August 8, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into a Corporate
Integrity Agreement (the "Corporate Integrity Agreement") with the OIG.  Under
the Corporate Integrity Agreement, the Company will implement a comprehensive
internal quality improvement program in its nursing centers and long-term
hospitals and its regional and corporate offices.  The Company believes the
Corporate Integrity Agreement will be part of an overall settlement with the
DOJ.  The Corporate Integrity Agreement must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court
and would become effective concurrent with the Company's emergence from Chapter
11.

NOTE 4 -- PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE (Continued)

   A substantial portion of pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement
under the plan of reorganization to be submitted by the Company.  The plan of
reorganization must be voted upon by certain of the impaired creditors of the
Company and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the
plan of reorganization to be proposed by the Company will be approved by the
requisite holders of claims, confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court or that it will
be consummated. If the plan of reorganization is not accepted by the required
number of impaired creditors and the Company's exclusive right to file and
solicit acceptance of a plan of reorganization ends, any party in interest may
subsequently file its own plan of reorganization for the Company.

  A plan of reorganization must be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court after
certain findings required by the Bankruptcy Code are made by the Bankruptcy
Court. The Bankruptcy Court may confirm a plan of reorganization notwithstanding
the non-acceptance of the plan by an impaired class of creditors or equity
holders if certain requirements of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. The
Company believes that any plan of reorganization likely will result in the
Company's common stock having no value.

 Events Leading to Reorganization

   The Company reported a net loss from operations in 1998 aggregating $578
million, resulting in certain financial covenant violations under the Company's
$1.0 billion bank credit facility (the "Credit Agreement"). Namely, the
covenants regarding minimum net worth, total leverage ratio, senior leverage
ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio were not satisfied at December 31, 1998.
Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company received a series
of temporary waivers of these covenant violations. The waivers generally
included certain borrowing limitations under the $300 million revolving credit
portion of the Credit Agreement. The final waiver was scheduled to expire on
September 24, 1999.

   The Company was informed on April 9, 1999 by HCFA that the Medicare program
had made a demand for repayment of approximately $90 million of reimbursement
overpayments by April 23, 1999. On April 21, 1999, the Company reached an
agreement with HCFA to extend the repayment of such amounts over 60 monthly
installments (the "HCFA Agreement"). Under the HCFA Agreement, monthly payments
of approximately $1.5 million commenced in May 1999.  Since December 1999, the
balance of the overpayments bears interest at a statutory rate approximating
13.4%, resulting in a monthly payment of approximately $2.0 million through
March 2004. If the Company is delinquent with two consecutive payments, the HCFA
Agreement will be defaulted and all subsequent Medicare reimbursement payments
to the Company may be withheld. Amounts due under the HCFA Agreement aggregated
$71.4 million and have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in
the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000.
The Company has received Bankruptcy Court approval to continue to make the
monthly payments under the HCFA Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11
Cases.

   On May 3, 1999, the Company elected not to make the interest payment of
approximately $14.8 million due on the 1998 Notes. The failure to pay interest
resulted in an event of default under the 1998 Notes.

   In accordance with SOP 90-7, outstanding borrowings under the Credit
Agreement ($509.1 million) and the principal amount of the 1998 Notes ($300
million) are presented as liabilities subject to compromise in the Company's
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000.  If the Chapter
11 Cases had not been filed, the Company would have reported a working capital
deficit approximating $873 million at June 30, 2000.  The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases or other matters discussed
herein. During the pendency of the Chapter 11

 Events Leading to Reorganization (Continued)

Cases, the Company is continuing to record the contractual amount of interest
expense related to the Credit Agreement. No interest costs have been recorded
related to the 1998 Notes since the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. Contractual
interest expense not accrued for the 1998 Notes during the second quarter and
first half of 2000 were $7.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

   As previously reported, the Company has been informed by the DOJ that the
Company and Ventas are the subjects of ongoing investigations into various
Medicare reimbursement issues, including hospital cost reporting issues, Vencare
billing practices and various quality of care issues in the hospitals and
nursing centers formerly operated by Ventas and currently operated by the
Company. The Company has cooperated fully in these investigations. The DOJ has
informed the Company that it has intervened in several pending qui tam actions
asserted against the Company and/or Ventas in connection with these
investigations. The Company and Ventas are engaged in active discussions with
the DOJ that may result in a resolution of some or all of the DOJ investigations
including the pending qui tam actions. In addition, the DOJ has filed proofs of
claims with respect to certain alleged claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. The
Company believes that the DOJ's intervention in these actions will facilitate
the ability of the parties to reach a final resolution. Such a resolution with
the DOJ could include a payment to the Federal government which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and financial position. See
Note 11.

 Agreements with Ventas

   On March 18, 1999, the Company served Ventas with a demand for mediation
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization governing the Spin-off (the
"Spin-off Agreement"). The Company was seeking a reduction in rent and other
concessions under its lease agreements with Ventas (the "Master Lease
Agreements"). On March 31, 1999, the Company and Ventas entered into a
standstill agreement (the "Standstill Agreement") which provided that both
companies would postpone through April 12, 1999 any claims either may have
against the other. On April 12, 1999, the Company and Ventas entered into a
second standstill agreement (the "Second Standstill") which provided that
neither party would pursue any claims against the other or any other third party
related to the Spin-off as long as the Company complied with certain rent
payment terms. The Second Standstill was scheduled to terminate on May 5, 1999.
The Company and Ventas also agreed that any statutes of limitations or other
time-related constraints in a bankruptcy or other proceeding that might be
asserted by one party against the other would be extended and tolled from April
12, 1999 until May 5, 1999 or until the termination of the Second Standstill
(the "Tolling Agreement").

   As a result of the Company's failure to pay rent, Ventas served the Company
with notices of nonpayment under the Master Lease Agreements. Subsequently, the
Company and Ventas entered into further amendments to the Second Standstill and
the Tolling Agreement to extend the time during which no remedies may be pursued
by either party and to extend the date by which the Company may cure its failure
to pay rent.

   In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company and Ventas entered into
a stipulation (the "Stipulation") which provides for the payment by the Company
of a reduced monthly rent of approximately $15.1 million beginning in September
1999. The Stipulation was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The difference
between the $19.3 million base rent under the Master Lease Agreements and the
reduced monthly rent is being accrued as  an administrative expense  subject to
compromise  in the Chapter 11 Cases. Unpaid  August 1999 rent of approximately
$18.9 million will constitute a claim by Ventas in the Chapter 11 Cases which
claim is potentially subject to dispute.

 Agreements with Ventas (Continued)

   The Stipulation also continues to toll any statutes of limitations or other
time constraints in a bankruptcy proceeding for claims that might be asserted by
the Company against Ventas. The Stipulation automatically renews for one-month
periods unless either party provides a 14-day notice of termination. The
Stipulation also may be terminated prior to its expiration upon a payment
default by the Company, the consummation of a plan of reorganization or the
occurrence of certain defaults under the DIP Financing.

   The Stipulation also provides that the Company will continue to fulfill its
indemnification obligations arising from the Spin-off.

   If the Company and Ventas are unable to resolve their disputes or maintain an
interim resolution, the Company may seek to pursue claims against Ventas arising
out of the Spin-off and seek judicial relief barring Ventas from exercising any
remedies based on the Company's failure to pay some or all of the rent to
Ventas. The Company's failure to pay rent or otherwise comply with the
Stipulation, in the absence of judicial relief, would result in an "Event of
Default" under the Master Lease Agreements. Upon an Event of Default under the
Master Lease Agreements, assuming Ventas were to be granted relief from the
automatic stay by the Bankruptcy Court, the remedies available to Ventas
include, without limitation, terminating the Master Lease Agreements,
repossessing and reletting the leased properties and requiring the Company to
(i) remain liable for all obligations under the Master Lease Agreements,
including the difference between the rent under the Master Lease Agreements and
the rent payable as a result of reletting the leased properties or (ii) pay the
net present value of the rent due for the balance of the terms of the Master
Lease Agreements. Such remedies, however, would be subject to the supervision of
the Bankruptcy Court.

   On May 31, 2000, the Company announced that the Bankruptcy Court had approved
a tax stipulation agreement between the Company and Ventas (the "Tax
Stipulation").  In connection with the Spin-off, the Company and Ventas entered
into a tax allocation agreement under which Ventas agreed that the Company would
be entitled to any tax refunds associated with its former healthcare operations.
In February 2000, a Federal tax refund in excess of $26 million was received by
Ventas.  The Company has asserted that it is entitled to the refund under
several grounds, including the terms of the existing tax allocation agreement.
Accordingly, the Company demanded that Ventas enter into the Tax Stipulation
which provides that certain refunds of Federal, state and local taxes received
by either party on or after September 13, 1999 be held by the recipient of such
refunds in segregated interest bearing accounts. The Tax Stipulation requires
notification before either party can withdraw funds from the segregated
accounts.

 Liabilities Subject to Compromise

   "Liabilities subject to compromise" refers to liabilities incurred prior to
the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases. These liabilities, consisting
primarily of long-term debt, amounts due to third party payors and certain
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, represent the Company's estimate of
known or potential claims to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11
Cases. Such claims remain subject to future adjustments based on assertions of
additional claims, negotiations, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, further
developments with respect to disputed claims, future rejection of executory
contracts or unexpired leases, determination as to the value of any collateral
securing claims, treatment under the plan of reorganization and other events.
Payment terms for these amounts will be established in connection with the plan
of reorganization.

 Liabilities Subject to Compromise (Continued)

   The Company has received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay pre-
petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries, benefits and other employee
obligations. The Bankruptcy Court also approved orders granting authority, among
other things, to pay pre-petition claims of certain critical vendors, utilities
and patient obligations. All other pre-petition liabilities are classified in
the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as liabilities subject to
compromise.

   Operating results for each period presented include certain unusual
transactions.  These transactions are included in other operating expenses in
the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the respective
periods in which they were recorded.

   In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a $4.5 million gain on
the sale of a closed hospital.  In the second quarter of 1999, the Company
recorded a charge of $20.8 million associated with the write-off of the
Company's remaining investment in Behavioral Healthcare Corporation ("BHC")
($15.2 million) and the cancellation of a nursing center software development
project ($5.6 million).

NOTE 7 -- REORGANIZATION COSTS

   Reorganization costs, consisting principally of professional fees, aggregated
$2.5 million and $4.6 million in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively, and $5.6 million and $6.9 million for the respective six month
periods.

NOTE 8 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

   Basic and diluted earnings per common share are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding.  No incremental shares were
included in the calculations of the diluted loss per common share since the
result would be antidilutive.

   The Company operates two business segments: the health services division and
the hospital division.  The health services division operates nursing centers
and a rehabilitation therapy business.  The hospital division operates hospitals
and an institutional pharmacy business.  The Company defines operating income as
earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent.
Operating income reported for each of the Company's business segments excludes
allocations of corporate overhead.

NOTE 10 -- INCOME TAXES

   The provision for income taxes is based upon management's estimate of taxable
income or loss for the year and includes the effect of certain non-deductible
items such as goodwill amortization and the recording of additional deferred tax
valuation allowances.

   The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999
included charges of $2.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to the
deferred tax valuation allowance. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, charges related to the deferred tax valuation allowance totaled $8.4
million and $15.8 million, respectively.  In addition, the Company recorded a
valuation allowance of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 1999 related to the
change in accounting for start-up costs.  At June 30, 2000, the deferred tax
valuation allowance included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated
balance sheet aggregated $368.4 million.

NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION

   Summary descriptions of various significant legal and regulatory activities
follow:

   On September 13, 1999, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries
filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code. The Chapter 11 Cases have been styled In re: Vencor, Inc., et al., Debtors
and Debtors in Possession, Case Nos. 99-3199 (MFW) through 99-3327 (MFW),
Chapter 11, Jointly Administered. See Note 4 for further discussion of the
Chapter 11 Cases.

   On March 18, 1999, the Company served Ventas with a demand for mediation
pursuant to the Spin-off Agreement. The Company was seeking a reduction in rent
and other concessions under its Master Lease Agreements with Ventas. On March
31, 1999, the Company and Ventas entered into the Standstill Agreement which
provided that both companies would postpone through April 12, 1999 any claims
either may have against the other. On April 12, 1999, the Company and Ventas
entered into the Second Standstill which provided that neither party would
pursue any claims against the other or any other third party related to the
Spin-off as long as the Company complied with certain rent payment terms. The
Second Standstill was scheduled to terminate on May 5, 1999. Pursuant to the
Tolling Agreement, the Company and Ventas also agreed that any statutes of
limitations or other time-related constraints in a bankruptcy or other
proceeding that might be asserted by one party against the other would be
extended and tolled from April 12, 1999 until May 5, 1999 or until the
termination of the Second Standstill. As a result of the Company's failure to
pay rent, Ventas served the Company with notices of nonpayment under the Master
Lease Agreements. Subsequently, the Company and Ventas entered into further
amendments to the Second Standstill and the Tolling Agreement to extend the time
during which no remedies may be pursued by either party and to extend the date
by which the Company may cure its failure to pay rent.

   In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company and Ventas entered into
the Stipulation which provides for the payment by the Company of a reduced
monthly rent of approximately $15.1 million beginning in September 1999. The
Stipulation was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The Stipulation also continues
to toll any statutes of limitations or other time constraints in a bankruptcy
proceeding for claims that might be asserted by the Company against Ventas. The
Stipulation automatically renews for one-month periods unless either party
provides a 14-day notice of termination. The Stipulation also may be terminated
prior to its expiration upon a payment default by the Company, the consummation
of the plan of reorganization or the occurrence of certain defaults under the
DIP Financing. The Stipulation also provides that the Company will continue to
fulfill its indemnification obligations arising from the Spin-off.

                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION (Continued)

   If the Company and Ventas are unable to resolve their disputes or maintain an
interim resolution, the Company may seek to pursue claims against Ventas arising
out of the Spin-off and seek judicial relief barring Ventas from exercising any
remedies based on the Company's failure to pay some or all of the rent to
Ventas. The Company's failure to pay rent or comply with the Stipulation, in the
absence of judicial relief, would result in an "Event of Default" under the
Master Lease Agreements. Upon an Event of Default under the Master Lease
Agreements, assuming Ventas were to be granted relief from the automatic stay by
the Bankruptcy Court, the remedies available to Ventas include terminating the
Master Lease Agreements, repossessing and reletting the leased properties and
requiring the Company to (i) remain liable for all obligations under the Master
Lease Agreements, including the difference between the rent under the Master
Lease Agreements and the rent payable as a result of reletting the leased
properties or (ii) pay the net present value of the rent due for the balance of
the terms of the Master Lease Agreements. Such remedies, however, would be
subject to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.

   The Company's subsidiary, formerly named TheraTx, Incorporated ("TheraTx"),
is a plaintiff in a declaratory judgment action entitled TheraTx, Incorporated
v. James W. Duncan, Jr., et al., No. 1:95-CV-3193, filed in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and currently pending in the
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 99-11451-FF. The
defendants have asserted counterclaims against TheraTx under breach of contract,
securities fraud, negligent misrepresentation and fraud theories for allegedly
not performing as promised under a merger agreement related to TheraTx's
purchase of a company called PersonaCare, Inc. and for allegedly failing to
inform the defendants/counterclaimants prior to the merger that TheraTx's
possible acquisition of Southern Management Services, Inc. might cause the
suspension of TheraTx's shelf registration under relevant rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). The court granted summary
judgment for the defendants/counterclaimants and ruled that TheraTx breached the
shelf registration provision in the merger agreement, but dismissed the
defendants' remaining counterclaims. Additionally, the court ruled after trial
that defendants/counterclaimants were entitled to damages and prejudgment
interest in the amount of approximately $1.3 million and attorneys' fees and
other litigation expenses of approximately $700,000. The Company and the
defendants/counterclaimants both have appealed the court's rulings. The Company
is defending the action vigorously.

   The Company is pursuing various claims against private insurance companies
who issued Medicare supplement insurance policies to individuals who became
patients of the Company's hospitals. After the patients' Medicare benefits are
exhausted, the insurance companies become liable to pay the insureds' bills
pursuant to the terms of these policies. The Company has filed numerous
collection actions against various of these insurers to collect the difference
between what Medicare would have paid and the hospitals' usual and customary
charges. These disputes arise from differences in interpretation of the policy
provisions and Federal and state laws governing such policies. Various courts
have issued various rulings on the different issues, some of which have been
adverse to the Company and most of which have been appealed. The Company intends
to continue to pursue these claims vigorously. If the Company does not prevail
on these issues, future results of operations and liquidity would be materially
adversely affected.

   A class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al., was
filed on December 24, 1997 in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky (Civil Action No. 3-97CV-8354). The class action claims
were brought by an alleged stockholder of the Company's predecessor against the
Company and Ventas and certain current and former executive officers and
directors of the Company and Ventas. The complaint alleges that the Company,
Ventas and certain current and former executive officers of the Company and
Ventas during a

specified time frame violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), by, among other things, issuing to
the investing public a series of false and misleading statements concerning
Ventas' then current operations and the inherent value of its common stock. The
complaint further alleges that as a result of these purported false and
misleading statements concerning Ventas' revenues and successful acquisitions,
the price of the common stock was artificially inflated. In particular, the
complaint alleges that the defendants issued false and misleading financial
statements during the first, second and third calendar quarters of 1997 which
misrepresented and understated the impact that changes in Medicare reimbursement
policies would have on Ventas' core services and profitability. The complaint
further alleges that the defendants issued a series of materially false
statements concerning the purportedly successful integration of Ventas' recent
acquisitions and prospective earnings per share for 1997 and 1998 which the
defendants knew lacked any reasonable basis and were not being achieved. The
suit seeks damages in an amount to be proven at trial, pre-judgment and post-
judgment interest, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other
costs, and any extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief permitted by law
or equity to assure that the plaintiff has an effective remedy. In December
1998, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case. The court converted the
defendants' motion to dismiss into a motion for summary judgment and granted
summary judgment as to all defendants. The plaintiff appealed the ruling to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (the "Sixth Circuit").  On
April 24, 2000, the Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the
action on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which
relief could be granted.  On July 14, 2000, the Sixth Circuit granted the
plaintiff's petition for a rehearing en banc.  The Company is defending this
action vigorously.

   A shareholder derivative suit entitled Thomas G. White on behalf of Vencor,
Inc. and Ventas, Inc. v. W. Bruce Lunsford, et al., Case No. 98CI03669, was
filed in June 1998 in the Jefferson County, Kentucky, Circuit Court. The suit
was brought on behalf of the Company and Ventas against certain current and
former executive officers and directors of the Company and Ventas. The complaint
alleges that the defendants damaged the Company and Ventas by engaging in
violations of the securities laws, engaging in insider trading, fraud and
securities fraud and damaging the reputation of the Company and Ventas. The
plaintiff asserts that such actions were taken deliberately, in bad faith and
constitute breaches of the defendants' duties of loyalty and due care. The
complaint is based on substantially similar assertions to those made in the
class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al., discussed
above. The suit seeks unspecified damages, interest, punitive damages,
reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs, and any
extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief permitted by law or equity to
assure that the Company and Ventas have an effective remedy. The Company
believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to
defend this action vigorously.

   A class action lawsuit entitled Jules Brody v. Transitional Hospitals
Corporation, et al., Case No. CV-S-97-00747-PMP, was filed on June 19, 1997 in
the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of a class
consisting of all persons who sold shares of Transitional Hospitals Corporation
("Transitional") common stock during the period from February 26, 1997 through
May 4, 1997, inclusive. The complaint alleges that Transitional purchased shares
of its common stock from members of the investing public after it had received a
written offer to acquire all of Transitional's common stock and without making
the required disclosure that such an offer had been made. The complaint further
alleges that defendants disclosed that there were "expressions of interest" in
acquiring Transitional when, in fact, at that time, the negotiations had reached
an advanced stage with actual firm offers at substantial premiums to the trading
price of Transitional's stock having been made which were actively being
considered by Transitional's Board of Directors. The complaint asserts claims
pursuant to Sections 10(b), 14(e) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and common law
principles of negligent misrepresentation and names as defendants Transitional
as well as certain former senior executives and directors of Transitional. The
plaintiff seeks class

certification, unspecified damages, attorneys' fees and costs. In June 1998, the
court granted the Company's motion to dismiss with leave to amend the Section
10(b) claim and the state law claims for misrepresentation. The court denied the
Company's motion to dismiss the Section 14(e) and Section 20(a) claims, after
which the Company filed a motion for reconsideration. On March 23, 1999, the
court granted the Company's motion to dismiss all remaining claims and the case
was dismissed. The plaintiff has appealed this ruling. The Company is defending
this action vigorously.

   On April 14, 1999, a lawsuit entitled Lenox Healthcare, Inc., et al. v.
Vencor, Inc., et al., Case No. BC 208750, was filed in the Superior Court of Los
Angeles, California by Lenox Healthcare, Inc. ("Lenox") asserting various causes
of action arising out of the Company's sale and lease of several nursing centers
to Lenox in 1997. Lenox subsequently removed certain of its causes of action and
refiled these claims before the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky in a case entitled Lenox Healthcare, Inc. v. Vencor, Inc.,
et al., Case No. 3:99 CV-348-H. The Company has asserted counterclaims,
including RICO claims, against Lenox in the Kentucky action. The Company
believes that the allegations made by Lenox in both complaints are without merit
and intends to defend these actions vigorously. Lenox and its subsidiaries filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on November 3, 1999. The
Company has not determined the effect, if any, such filing will have on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. By virtue of
both the Company's and Lenox's separate filings for Chapter 11 protection, the
two Lenox actions and the Company's counterclaims are stayed.

   The Company has been informed by the DOJ that the Company and Ventas are the
subjects of ongoing investigations into various Medicare reimbursement issues,
including hospital cost reporting issues, Vencare billing practices and various
quality of care issues in the hospitals and nursing centers formerly operated by
Ventas and currently operated by the Company. These investigations include some
matters for which the Company indemnified Ventas in the Spin-off. In cases where
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are defendants but Ventas is the
defendant, the Company had agreed to defend and indemnify Ventas for such claims
as part of the Spin-off. The Stipulation entered into with Ventas provides that
the Company will continue to fulfill its indemnification obligations arising
from the Spin-off. The Company has cooperated fully in the investigations.

   The DOJ has informed the Company that it has intervened in several pending
qui tam actions asserted against the Company and/or Ventas in connection with
these investigations. The Company and Ventas are engaged in active settlement
discussions with the DOJ that may result in a resolution of some or all of the
DOJ investigations including the pending qui tam actions. In addition, the DOJ
has filed proofs of claims with respect to certain alleged claims in the Chapter
11 Cases. Such a resolution with the DOJ could include a payment to the Federal
government which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity
and financial position. However, there can be no assurance that a settlement or
other resolution will be consummated with the DOJ.

   The following is a summary of the qui tam actions pending against the Company
and/or Ventas in which the DOJ has intervened. In connection with the DOJ's
intervention, the courts ordered these previously non-public actions to be
unsealed. Certain of the actions described below name other defendants in
addition to the Company and Ventas.

NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION (Continued)

     (a) The Company, Ventas and the Company's subsidiary, American X-Rays, Inc.
  ("AXR"), are defendants in a civil qui tam action styled United States ex rel.
  Doe v. American X-Rays Inc., et al., No. LR-C-95-332, pending in the United
  States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and served on AXR
  on July 7, 1997. The DOJ intervened in the suit which was brought under the
  Federal Civil False Claims Act and added  the Company and Ventas as
  defendants. The Company acquired an interest in AXR when The Hillhaven
  Corporation ("Hillhaven") was merged into the Company in September 1995 and
  purchased the remaining interest in AXR in February 1996. AXR provided
  portable X-ray services to nursing centers (including some of those operated
  by Ventas or the Company) and other healthcare providers. The civil suit
  alleges that AXR submitted false claims to the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
  The suit seeks damages in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, treble
  damages and civil penalties. The Company has defended this action vigorously.
  The court has dismissed the action based upon the possible pending settlement
  between the DOJ and Vencor and Ventas. In a related criminal investigation,
  the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas
  ("USAO") indicted four former employees of AXR; those individuals were
  convicted of various fraud related counts in January 1999. AXR had been
  informed previously that it was not a target of the criminal investigation,
  and AXR was not indicted. However, the Company received several grand jury
  subpoenas for documents and witnesses which it moved to quash.  The USAO has
  withdrawn the subpoenas which rendered the motion moot.

     (b) The Company's subsidiary, Medisave Pharmacies, Inc. ("Medisave"),
  Ventas and Hillhaven (former parent company to Medisave), are the defendants
  in a civil qui tam action styled United States ex rel. Danley v. Medisave
  Pharmacies, Inc., et al., No. CV-N-96-00170-HDM, filed in the United States
  District Court for the District of Nevada on March 15, 1996. The plaintiff
  alleges that Medisave, an institutional pharmacy provider, formerly owned by
  Ventas and owned by the Company since the Spin-off: (1) charged the Medicare
  program for unit dose drugs when bulk drugs were administered and charged
  skilled nursing facilities more for the same drugs for Medicare patients than
  for non-Medicare patients; (2) improperly claimed special dispensing fees that
  it was not entitled to under Medicaid; and (3) recouped unused drugs from
  skilled nursing facilities and returned these drugs to its stock without
  crediting Medicare or Medicaid, all in violation of the Federal Civil False
  Claims Act. The complaint also alleges that Medisave had a policy of offering
  kickbacks, such as free equipment, to skilled nursing centers to secure and
  maintain their business. The complaint seeks treble damages, other unspecified
  damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and other costs. The Company
  disputes the allegations in the complaint. The defendants intend to defend
  this action vigorously.

     (c) Ventas and the Company's subsidiary, Vencare, Inc. ("Vencare"), among
  others, are defendants in the action styled United States ex rel. Roberts v.
  Vencor, Inc., et al., No. 3:97CV-349-J, filed in the United States District
  Court for the Western District of Kansas on June 25, 1996 and consolidated
  with the action styled United States of America ex rel. Meharg, et al. v.
  Vencor, Inc., et al., No. 3:98SC-737-H, filed in the United States District
  Court for the Middle District of Florida on June 4, 1998. The complaint
  alleges that the defendants knowingly submitted and conspired to submit false
  claims and statements to the Medicare program in connection with their
  purported provision of respiratory therapy services to skilled nursing center
  residents. The defendants allegedly billed Medicare for respiratory therapy
  services and supplies when those services were not medically necessary, billed
  for services not provided, exaggerated the time required to provide services
  or exaggerated the productivity of their therapists. It is further alleged
  that the defendants presented false claims and statements to the Medicare
  program in violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act, by, among other
  things, allegedly causing skilled nursing centers with which they had
  respiratory therapy contracts, to present false claims to Medicare for
  respiratory therapy services and supplies. The complaint seeks treble damages,
  other unspecified damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and other costs.
  The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint. The defendants intend
  to defend this action vigorously.

NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION (Continued)

     (d) In United States ex rel. Kneepkens v. Gambro Healthcare, Inc., et al.,
  No. 97-10400-GAO, filed in the United States District Court for the District
  of Massachusetts on October 15, 1998, the Company's subsidiary, Transitional,
  and two unrelated entities, Gambro Healthcare, Inc. and Dialysis Holdings,
  Inc., are defendants in this suit alleging that they violated the Federal
  Civil False Claims Act and the Medicare and Medicaid antikickback, antifraud
  and abuse amendments (the "Antikickback Amendments") and committed common law
  fraud, unjust enrichment and payment by mistake of fact. Specifically, the
  complaint alleges that a predecessor to Transitional formed a joint venture
  with Damon Clinical Laboratories to create and operate a clinical testing
  laboratory in Georgia that was then used to provide lab testing for dialysis
  patients, and that the joint venture billed at below cost in return for
  referral of substantially all non-routine testing in violation of the
  Antikickback Amendments. It is further alleged that a predecessor to
  Transitional and Damon Clinical Laboratories used multiple panel testing of
  end stage renal disease rather than single panel testing that allegedly
  resulted in the generation of additional revenues from Medicare and that the
  entities allegedly added non-routine tests to tests otherwise ordered by
  physicians that were not requested or medically necessary but resulted in
  additional revenue from Medicare in violation of the Antikickback Amendments.
  Transitional has moved to dismiss the case. Transitional disputes the
  allegations in the complaint and is defending the action vigorously.

     (e) The Company and/or Ventas are defendants in the action styled United
  States ex rel. Huff and Dolan v. Vencor, Inc., et al., No. 97-4358 AHM (Mcx),
  filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of
  California on June 13, 1997. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant violated
  the Federal Civil False Claims Act by submitting false claims to the Medicare,
  Medicaid and CHAMPUS programs by allegedly: (1) falsifying patient bills and
  submitting the bills to the Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS programs, (2)
  submitting bills for intensive and critical care not actually administered to
  patients, (3) falsifying patient charts in relation to the billing, (4)
  charging for physical therapy services allegedly not provided and pharmacy
  services allegedly provided by non-pharmacists, and (5) billing for sales
  calls made by nurses to prospective patients. The complaint seeks treble
  damages, other unspecified damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and other
  costs. Defendants dispute the allegations in the complaint. The Company, on
  behalf of itself and Ventas, intends to defend this action vigorously.

     (f) Ventas is the defendant in the action styled United States ex rel.
  Brzycki v. Vencor, Inc., Civ. No. 97-451-JD, filed in the United States
  District Court for the District of New Hampshire on September 8, 1997. Ventas
  is alleged to have knowingly violated the Federal Civil False Claims Act by
  submitting and conspiring to submit false claims to the Medicare program. The
  complaint alleges that Ventas: (1) fabricated diagnosis codes by ordering
  medically unnecessary services, such as respiratory therapy; (2) changed
  referring physicians' diagnoses in order to qualify for Medicare
  reimbursement; and (3) billed Medicare for oxygen use by patients regardless
  of whether the oxygen was actually administered to particular patients. The
  complaint further alleges that Ventas paid illegal kickbacks to referring
  healthcare professionals in the form of medical consulting service agreements
  as an alleged inducement to refer patients, in violation of the Federal Civil
  False Claims Act, the Antikickback Amendments and the Stark provisions. It is
  additionally alleged that Ventas consistently submitted Medicare claims for
  clinical services that were not performed or were performed at lower actual
  costs. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, civil penalties, attorneys'
  fees and costs. Ventas disputes the allegations in the complaint. The Company,
  on behalf of Ventas, intends to defend the action vigorously.

NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION (Continued)

     (g) United States ex rel. Lanford and Cavanaugh v. Vencor, Inc., et al.,
  Civ. No. 97-CV-2845, was filed against Ventas in the United States District
  Court for the Middle District of Florida, on November 24, 1997. The United
  States of America intervened in this civil qui tam lawsuit on May 17, 1999. On
  July 23, 1999, the United States filed its amended complaint in the lawsuit
  and added the Company as a defendant. The lawsuit alleges that the Company and
  Ventas knowingly submitted false claims and false statements to the Medicare
  and Medicaid programs including, but not limited to, claims for reimbursement
  of costs for certain ancillary services performed in defendants' nursing
  centers and for third party nursing center operators that the United States
  alleges are not properly reimbursable costs through the hospitals' cost
  reports. The lawsuit involves the Company's hospitals which were owned by
  Ventas prior to the Spin-off. The complaint does not specify the amount of
  damages sought. The Company and Ventas dispute the allegations in the amended
  complaint and intend to defend this action vigorously.

     (h) In United States ex rel. Harris and Young v. Vencor, Inc., et al.,
  filed in the Eastern District of Missouri on May 25, 1999, the defendants
  include the Company, Vencare, and Ventas. The defendants allegedly submitted
  and conspired to submit false claims for payment to the Medicare and CHAMPUS
  programs, in violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act. According to the
  complaint, the Company, through its subsidiary, Vencare, allegedly (1) over
  billed for respiratory therapy services, (2) rendered medically unnecessary
  treatment, and (3) falsified supply, clinical and equipment records. The
  defendants also allegedly encouraged or instructed therapist to falsify
  clinical records and over prescribe therapy services. The complaint seeks
  treble damages, other unspecified damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees
  and other costs. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and
  intends to defend this action vigorously.

     (i) In United States ex rel. George Mitchell, et al. v. Vencor, Inc., et
  al., filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
  Ohio on August 13, 1999, the defendants, consisting of the Company and its two
  subsidiaries, Vencare and Vencor Hospice, Inc., are alleged to have violated
  the Federal Civil False Claims Act by obtaining improper reimbursement from
  Medicare concerning the treatment of hospice patients. Defendants are alleged
  to have obtained inflated Medicare reimbursement for admitting, treating
  and/or failing to discharge in a timely manner hospice patients who were not
  "hospice appropriate." The complaint further alleges that the defendants
  obtained inflated reimbursement for providing medications for these hospice
  patients. The complaint alleges damages in excess of $1,000,000. The Company
  disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend vigorously the
  action.

     (j) In Gary Graham, on Behalf of the United States of America v. Vencor
  Operating, Inc. et. al., filed in the United States District Court for the
  Southern District of Florida on or about June 8, 1999, the defendants,
  including the Company, its subsidiary, Vencor Operating, Inc., Ventas,
  Hillhaven and Medisave, are alleged to have presented or caused to be
  presented false or fraudulent claims for payment to the Medicare program in
  violation of, among other things, the Federal Civil False Claims Act. The
  complaint alleges that Medisave, a subsidiary of the Company which was
  transferred from Ventas to the Company in the Spin-off, systematically up-
  charged for drugs and supplies dispensed to Medicare patients. The complaint
  seeks unspecified damages, civil penalties, interest, attorneys' fees and
  other costs. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends
  to defend this action vigorously.

NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION (Continued)

     (k) In United States, et al., ex rel. Phillips-Minks, et al. v.
  Transitional Corp., et al., filed in the United States District Court for
  Southern District of California on July 23, 1998, the defendants, including
  Transitional and Ventas, are alleged to have submitted and conspired to submit
  false claims and statements to Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal and state
  funded programs during a period commencing in 1993. The conduct complained of
  allegedly violates the Federal Civil False Claims Act, the California False
  Claims Act, the Florida False Claims Act, the Tennessee Health Care False
  Claims Act, and the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act.
  Defendant allegedly submitted improper and erroneous claims to Medicare,
  Medicaid and other programs, for improper or unnecessary services and services
  not performed, inadequate collections efforts associated with billing and
  collecting bad debts, inflated and nonexistent laboratory charges, false and
  inadequate documentation of claims, splitting charges, shifting revenues and
  expenses, transferring patients to hospitals that are reimbursed by Medicare
  at a higher level, failing to return duplicate reimbursement payments, and
  improperly allocating hospital insurance expenses. In addition, the complaint
  alleges that the defendants were inconsistent in their reporting of cost
  report data, paid kickbacks to increase patient referrals to hospitals, and
  incorrectly reported employee compensation resulting in inflated employee
  401(k) contributions. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. The Company
  disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend this action
  vigorously.

   In connection with the Spin-off, liabilities arising from various legal
proceedings and other actions were assumed by the Company and the Company agreed
to indemnify Ventas against any losses, including any costs or expenses, it may
incur arising out of or in connection with such legal proceedings and other
actions. The indemnification provided by the Company also covers losses,
including costs and expenses, which may arise from any future claims asserted
against Ventas based on the former healthcare operations of Ventas. In
connection with its indemnification obligation, the Company has assumed the
defense of various legal proceedings and other actions. The Stipulation entered
into with Ventas provides that the Company will continue to fulfill its
indemnification obligations arising from the Spin-off.

   The Company is a party to certain legal actions and regulatory investigations
arising in the normal course of its business. The Company is unable to predict
the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and regulatory investigations. In
addition, there can be no assurance that the DOJ, HCFA or other regulatory
agencies will not initiate additional investigations related to the Company's
businesses in the future, nor can there be any assurance that the resolution of
any litigation or investigations, either individually or in the aggregate, would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or financial position. In addition, the above litigation and
investigations (as well as future litigation and investigations) are expected to
consume the time and attention of the Company's management and may have a
disruptive effect upon the Company's operations.

NOTE 12 -- THIRD PARTY SETTLEMENTS

   In January 2000, the Company filed its hospital cost reports for the year
ended August 31, 1999.  Cost reports are filed annually in settlement of amounts
due to or from the various agencies administering the reimbursement programs.
These cost reports indicated amounts due from the Company aggregating $58
million.  This liability arose during 1999 as part of the Company's routine
settlement of Medicare reimbursement overpayments.  Such amounts are classified
as liabilities subject to compromise in the unaudited condensed consolidated
balance sheet and, accordingly, no funds were disbursed by the Company in
settlement of such pre-petition liabilities.

General

   The business segment data in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the following discussion
and analysis.

   The Company provides long-term healthcare services primarily through the
operation of nursing centers and hospitals.  At June 30, 2000, the Company's
health services division operated 321 nursing centers (41,113 licensed beds) in
31 states and a rehabilitation therapy business.  The Company's hospital
division operated 56 hospitals (4,880 licensed beds) in 23 states and an
institutional pharmacy business.

   Vencare Realignment.  In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company realigned
its Vencare ancillary services business.  Vencare's rehabilitation, speech and
occupational therapy businesses were integrated into the Company's health
services division, and its institutional pharmacy business was assigned to the
hospital division.  Vencare's respiratory therapy and certain other ancillary
businesses were discontinued.  Financial and operating data presented in the
following discussion and analysis reflect the realignment of the former Vencare
business for all periods presented.

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


General (Continued)

   Reorganization.  On September 13, 1999, the Company and substantially all of
its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code.  The Company currently is operating its businesses as a
debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.  The
Company's continued operating losses, liquidity issues and the Chapter 11 Cases
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the
appropriateness of using the going concern basis of accounting are dependent
upon, among other things, (i) the Company's ability to comply with the terms of
the DIP Financing, (ii) confirmation of the plan of reorganization under the
Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the Company's ability to achieve profitable operations
after such confirmation, and (iv) the Company's ability to generate sufficient
cash from operations to meet its obligations.  The plan of reorganization and
other actions during the Chapter 11 Cases could change materially the amounts
currently recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

   Spin-off.  On May 1, 1998, Ventas completed the Spin-off through the
distribution of Vencor common stock to its stockholders.  Ventas retained
ownership of substantially all of its real property and leases such real
property to the Company pursuant to the Master Lease Agreements. In anticipation
of the Spin-off, the Company was incorporated on March 27, 1998. For accounting
purposes, the consolidated historical financial statements of Ventas became the
historical financial statements of the Company upon consummation of the Spin-
off. Any discussion concerning events prior to May 1, 1998 refers to the
Company's business as it was conducted by Ventas prior to the Spin-off.

   The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the basis of accounting principles applicable to going concerns and
contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business.  The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases or other matters discussed
herein.

Results of Operations

 Regulatory Changes

   Legislative and regulatory activities in the long-term healthcare industry
have had a significant negative impact on the Company's operating results.

   The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Budget Act"), contained extensive
changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs intended to reduce the projected
amount of increase in payments under those programs over a five year period.
Virtually all spending reductions come from reimbursements to providers and
changes in program components. The Budget Act has affected adversely the
revenues in each of the Company's operating divisions.

   The Budget Act established a Medicare prospective payment system ("PPS") for
nursing centers for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998.
While most nursing centers in the United States became subject to PPS during the
first quarter of 1999, all of the Company's nursing centers adopted PPS on July
1, 1998. During the first three years, the per diem rates for nursing centers
are based on a blend of facility-specific costs and Federal costs. Thereafter,
the per diem rates are based solely on Federal costs. The payments received
under PPS cover all services for Medicare patients including all ancillary
services, such as respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy,
speech therapy and certain covered pharmaceuticals.

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Results of Operations (Continued)

 Regulatory Changes (Continued)

   In November 1999, the Balanced Budget Refinement Act (the "BBRA") was enacted
to provide a measure of relief for some of the impact of PPS. The BBRA made a
temporary 20% upward adjustment in the payment rates for the care of higher
acuity patients and allowed nursing centers to transition more rapidly to the
Federal payment rates. The BBRA also imposed a two-year moratorium on certain
therapy limitations for skilled nursing center patients. Effective October 1,
2000, the BBRA will adjust all payment categories up by 4% for two years.

   In April 2000, HCFA published a proposed rule which set forth updates to the
Resource Utilization Grouping ("RUG") payment rates used under PPS for nursing
centers.  On July 31, 2000, HCFA issued a final rule which indefinitely
postponed any refinements to the RUG categories used under PPS.  It also
provided for the continuance of Medicare payment relief set forth in the BBRA,
including the 20% upward adjustment for certain higher acuity RUG categories
through September 30, 2001 and the scheduled 4% increase (to be effective
October 2000) for all RUG categories through September 30, 2002.

   Despite the effects of the BBRA and the HCFA ruling discussed above, revenues
recorded under PPS in the Company's health services division are substantially
less than the cost-based reimbursement it received before the enactment of the
Budget Act.

   The Budget Act also reduced payments made to the hospitals operated by the
Company's hospital division by reducing incentive payments pursuant to the Tax
Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"), allowable costs for
capital expenditures and bad debts, and payments for services to patients
transferred from a general acute care hospital. The reductions in allowable
costs for capital expenditures became effective October 1, 1997.  The reductions
in the TEFRA incentive payments and allowable costs for bad debts became
effective between May 1, 1998 and September 1, 1998. The reductions for payments
for services to patients transferred from a general acute care hospital became
effective October 1, 1998. These reductions have had a material adverse impact
on hospital revenues. In addition, these reductions also may affect adversely
the hospital division's ability to develop additional long-term care hospitals
in the future.

   Under PPS, the volume of ancillary services provided per patient day to
nursing center patients has declined dramatically. As previously discussed,
Medicare reimbursements to nursing centers under PPS include substantially all
services provided to patients, including ancillary services. Prior to the
implementation of PPS, the costs of such services were reimbursed under cost-
based reimbursement rules. The decline in the demand for ancillary services is
mostly attributable to efforts by nursing centers to reduce operating costs. As
a result, many nursing centers are electing to provide ancillary services to
their patients though internal staff or are seeking lower acuity patients who
require less ancillary services. In response to PPS and a significant decline in
the demand for ancillary services, the Company realigned its Vencare division in
the fourth quarter of 1999 by integrating the rehabilitation, speech and
occupational therapy businesses into the health services division and assigning
the institutional pharmacy business to the hospital division. Vencare's
respiratory therapy and other ancillary businesses were discontinued.

   There also continues to be state legislative proposals that would impose more
limitations on government and private payments to providers of healthcare
services such as the Company. Many states have enacted or are considering
enacting measures that are designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures and to
make certain changes to private healthcare insurance. Some states also are
considering regulatory changes that include a moratorium on the designation of
additional long-term care hospitals. Regulatory changes in the Medicare and
Medicaid reimbursement systems applicable to the hospital division also are
being considered. There also are a number of legislative proposals including
cost caps and the establishment of Medicaid prospective payment systems for
nursing centers. Moreover, by repealing the Boren Amendment, the Budget Act
eases existing impediments on the states' ability to reduce their Medicaid
reimbursement levels.

 Regulatory Changes (Continued)

   The Company could be affected adversely by the continuing efforts of
governmental and private third-party payors to contain the amount of
reimbursement for healthcare services. There can be no assurance that payments
under governmental and private third-party payor programs will remain at levels
comparable to present levels or will be sufficient to cover the costs allocable
to patients eligible for reimbursement pursuant to such programs. In addition,
there can be no assurance that facilities operated by the Company, or the
provision of services and supplies by the Company, will meet the requirements
for participation in such programs.

   There can be no assurance that future healthcare legislation or other changes
in the administration or interpretation of governmental healthcare programs will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity and financial position.

 Health Services Division - Nursing Centers

   Revenues increased 4% to $413 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $398
million in the same period last year.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
nursing center revenues increased 4% to $826 million from $796 million a year
ago.  The increase in both periods was primarily attributable to increased
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates and price increases to private payors.
Medicare revenues per patient day under PPS were $301 in the second quarter of
2000 compared to $289 in the second quarter a year ago, and $296 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $291 in the prior year.  Despite a
decline in patient acuity levels, the increase in Medicare reimbursement rates
for both periods resulted primarily from regulatory changes associated with the
BBRA and an increase in therapy services.

   Nursing center operating income increased 37% to $75 million in the second
quarter of 2000 from $55 million last year. Operating income for the first six
months of 2000 increased 31% to $144 million from $110 million last year. A
substantial portion of the improvement in operating margins in both periods
resulted from operating efficiencies related to the fourth quarter 1999 Vencare
realignment. In the aggregate, operating costs (wages, benefits, supplies and
other expenses) per patient day declined slightly for both the second quarter
and six month period compared to a year ago.

 Health Services Division - Rehabilitation Services

   Revenues declined 34% to $34 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $51
million a year ago. For the first six months of 2000, revenues declined 35% to
$68 million from $105 million for the same period last year.  The decline in
revenues was primarily attributable to continued reductions in the demand for
ancillary services in response to fixed reimbursement rates under PPS.
Approximately one-half of the revenue decline in both periods was attributable
to Company-operated nursing centers. Under PPS, the reimbursement for ancillary
services provided to nursing center patients is a component of the total
reimbursement allowed per nursing center patient. As a result, many nursing
center customers (including the Company's nursing centers) have elected to
provide ancillary services to their patients through internal staff and no
longer contract with outside parties for ancillary services.

   Rehabilitation services reported a $1 million operating loss for both the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to operating income
of $8 million and $15 million last year, respectively.  The reduction in
operating income reflects a continued decline in customer demand resulting from
PPS.  In addition, effective January 1, 2000, revenues for rehabilitation
services provided to Company-operated nursing centers approximated the costs of
providing such services.  Accordingly, 2000 operating results do not reflect any
operating income related to intercompany transactions.  While the health
services division will continue to provide rehabilitation services to nursing
center customers, revenues and operating income related to these services may
continue to decline.

 Health Services Division - Other Ancillary Services

   Other ancillary services refers to certain ancillary businesses (primarily
respiratory therapy) that were discontinued as part of the Vencare realignment
in the fourth quarter of 1999.

 Hospital Division - Hospitals

   Revenues increased 6% to $250 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $235
million in the same period a year ago, while revenues increased 6% for the six
month period to $504 million in 2000 from $473 million in 1999.  The increase in
both periods was primarily attributable to growth in patient days.

   Revenues per patient day increased 1% in the second quarter and six month
period compared to the respective periods a year ago.  Despite increases in
private payor rates, Medicare revenues per patient day declined 2% in both
periods.  Medicare revenues recorded by the Company's hospitals in prior years
included reimbursement for expenses related to certain costs associated with
hospital-based ancillary services previously provided by the Vencare division to
its nursing center customers. In connection with the continued settlement
discussions with the DOJ, the Company has agreed to discontinue recording such
revenues and has excluded such costs from its Medicare cost reports since
September 1, 1999. Medicare revenues related to the reimbursement of such costs
aggregated $7 million in the second quarter of 1999 and $14 million for the
first six months of 1999.

   Hospital operating income declined 12% to $52 million in the second quarter
of 2000 from $58 million in the second quarter of 1999 and declined 8% to $107
million for the first six months of 2000 from $116 million last year.  Despite
an increase in patient days, hospital operating costs per patient day increased
7% to $757 from $706 in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1999 and
increased 5% to $743 from $707 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to last year.  The increase in both periods was primarily attributable to growth
in labor and pharmaceutical costs and provisions for loss related to asset
impairments.  Operating income also was adversely impacted by the previously
discussed reduction in Medicare reimbursement for hospital-based ancillary
services.

 Hospital Division - Pharmacy

   Revenues increased 16% to $50 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared
to $43 million a year ago and increased 13% to $97 million for the first six
months of 2000 compared to $86 million last year.  The increases resulted
primarily from growth in the number of nursing center customers.

   Operating income declined to $1 million in the second quarter of 2000
compared to $3 million in the same period of the prior year.  For the six month
period, the pharmacy business reported an operating loss of $0.4 million
compared to operating income of $7 million for the first six months of 1999. The
decline in operating income in both periods was primarily attributable to
pricing pressures associated with PPS and pharmaceutical cost increases. Supply
costs as a percentage of revenues rose to 61% in the second quarter of 2000 from
55% in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, supply costs as a
percentage of revenues rose to 64% from 54% last year.

 Corporate Overhead

   Operating income for the Company's operating divisions excludes allocation of
corporate overhead.  These costs aggregated $28 million and $30 million in the
second quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $57 million in the first six
months of both years.  As a percentage of revenues (before eliminations),
corporate overhead was 3.8% and 4.2% for the respective quarters of 2000 and
1999, and 3.9% and 4.0% for the respective six month periods.

Results of Operations (Continued)

 Unusual Transactions

   Operating results for each period presented include certain unusual
transactions.  These transactions are included in other operating expenses in
the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the respective
periods in which they were recorded.

   In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a $5 million gain on the
sale of a closed hospital.  In the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded
a charge of $21 million associated with the write-off of the Company's remaining
investment in BHC ($15 million) and the cancellation of a nursing center
software development project ($6 million).

 Capital Costs

   The Company leases substantially all of its facilities.  Depreciation and
amortization, rents and net interest costs aggregated $109 million in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to $117 million for the same period last year and $218
million and $234 million for the first six months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  While rents were relatively unchanged, depreciation and
amortization declined primarily as a result of significant write-offs of
property, equipment and goodwill in the fourth quarter of 1999 in connection
with the Company's valuation of its long-lived assets required by SFAS 121.  On
January 1, 2000, the Company changed its goodwill amortization period from 40
years to 20 years from the date of acquisition.  The impact of this change was
not material.  See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

   During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is continuing to
record the contractual amount of interest expense related to the Credit
Agreement and the rents due to Ventas under the Master Lease Agreements.  No
interest costs have been recorded related to the 1998 Notes since the filing of
the Chapter 11 Cases.  Contractual interest expense not accrued for the 1998
Notes approximated $7 million and $15 million for the second quarter and first
six months of 2000, respectively.

 Income Taxes

   The provision for income taxes is based upon management's estimate of taxable
income or loss for the year and includes the effect of certain non-deductible
items such as goodwill amortization and the recording of additional deferred tax
valuation allowances.

   The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999
included charges of $2 million and $12 million, respectively, related to the
deferred tax valuation allowance.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, charges related to the deferred tax valuation allowance totaled $8 million
and $16 million, respectively.  In addition, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $3 million in the first quarter of 1999 related to the change in
accounting for start-up costs.  At June 30, 2000, the deferred tax valuation
allowance included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheet aggregated $368 million.

 Consolidated Results

   The Company reported a pretax loss from operations before reorganization
costs of $5 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $41 million in the
second quarter of 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
recorded a pretax loss from operations before reorganization costs of $20
million compared to $59 million for the same period of 1999.

 Consolidated Results (Continued)

   Reorganization costs, consisting principally of professional fees, aggregated
$3 million and $5 million in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively,
and $6 million and $7 million for the respective six month periods.

   The net loss from operations in the second quarter of 2000 aggregated $8
million compared to a net loss of $46 million in the second quarter of 1999. For
the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's net loss from operations
totaled $27 million compared to a net loss of $66 million a year ago.  In
addition, the Company recorded a $9 million charge in the first quarter of 1999
to reflect the change in accounting for start-up costs.  See Note 3 of the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity

   As previously discussed, the Company and substantially all of its
subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on September 13, 1999.  The Company currently is operating its
businesses as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court.

   On September 14, 1999, the Company received approval from the Bankruptcy
Court to pay pre-petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries, benefits
and other employee obligations. The Bankruptcy Court also approved orders
granting authority, among other things, to pay pre-petition claims of certain
critical vendors, utilities and patient obligations. All other pre-petition
liabilities are classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet
as liabilities subject to compromise. The Company currently is paying the post-
petition claims of all vendors and providers in the ordinary course of business.

   In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company entered into the DIP
Financing aggregating $100 million.  The Bankruptcy Court granted final approval
of the DIP Financing on October 1, 1999. The DIP Financing, which was initially
scheduled to mature on March 13, 2000, is comprised of the Tranche A Loan and
the Tranche B Loan. Interest is payable at prime rate plus 2 1/2% on the Tranche
A Loan and prime rate plus 4 1/2% on the Tranche B Loan.

   Available aggregate borrowings under the Tranche A Loan were initially
limited to $45 million in September 1999 and increased to $65 million in
October, $70 million in November and $75 million thereafter. Pursuant to an
amendment to the DIP Financing, the aggregate borrowing limitations under the
Tranche A Loans are limited to approximately $68 million until maturity and are
reduced for asset sales made by  the Company.  At June 30, 2000, aggregate
available borrowings under the Tranche A Loan were $63 million.  Borrowings
under the Tranche B Loan require the approval of lenders holding at least 75% of
the credit exposure under the DIP Financing. The DIP Financing is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including
certain owned real property. The DIP Financing contains standard representations
and warranties and other affirmative and restrictive covenants. At June 30,
2000, there were no outstanding borrowings under the DIP Financing.

   Since the consummation of the DIP Financing, the Company and the DIP Lenders
have agreed to several amendments to the DIP Financing. These amendments
approved various changes to the DIP Financing including (i) extending the period
of time for the Company to file its plan of reorganization, (ii) approving
certain transactions, (iii) revising the Company's cash plan originally
submitted with the DIP Financing and (iv) revising certain financial covenants.
In December 1999, the Company informed the DIP Lenders that it planned to record
a significant charge to earnings in the fourth quarter of 1999 related to the
valuation of accounts receivable that could have resulted in noncompliance with
certain covenants in the DIP Financing requiring minimum Consolidated EBITDAR
and a minimum Net Amount of

                                      31

Eligible Accounts (both as defined in the DIP Financing). In connection with the
third amendment to the DIP Financing, the Company received a waiver from
compliance with these covenants of the DIP Financing through February 14, 2000.
The Company received subsequent waivers from compliance with these covenants in
later amendments.

   At December 31, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with the DIP
Financing covenant related to the minimum Net Amount of Eligible Accounts
(accounts receivable).  Since there were no outstanding borrowings under the DIP
Financing at December 31, 1999, the event of default had no effect on the
Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements. Effective April 12, 2000, the
Company and the DIP Lenders agreed to an additional amendment to the DIP
Financing to revise the covenant related to the minimum Net Amount of Eligible
Accounts.  In the amendment, the DIP Lenders also waived all events of default
regarding this covenant that occurred prior to the date of the amendment.

   On June 12, 2000, the Company entered into the Commitment Letter with certain
of the DIP Lenders to finance the Restated DIP.  The Restated DIP would become
effective in the event the Company became involved in a legal proceeding against
Ventas.  The Commitment Letter will expire on August 31, 2000 unless the Company
obtains Bankruptcy Court approval of the Commitment Letter and pays all fees
payable upon such approval.  The hearing on the motion is scheduled for August
23, 2000. Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, the Restated DIP will not be
available unless it becomes effective on or prior to September 30, 2000.

   In the recent amendments to the DIP Financing, the parties agreed, among
other things, to extend the maturity date of the DIP Financing until September
30, 2000 and to extend the period of time for the Company to file its plan of
reorganization to August 17, 2000.

   Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness
against the Company are subject to an automatic stay and other contractual
obligations against the Company may not be enforced. The automatic stay does not
necessarily apply to certain actions against Ventas for which the Company has
agreed to indemnify Ventas in connection with the Spin-off.  In addition, the
Company may assume or reject executory contracts, including lease obligations,
under the Bankruptcy Code. Parties affected by these rejections may file claims
with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the reorganization process.

   As previously disclosed, the Company is developing a plan of reorganization
through negotiations with key parties including its Senior Lenders, the holders
of the 1998 Notes, Ventas, the DOJ, and the advisors to the official committee
of unsecured creditors.  The Company has made substantial progress in its
discussions with Ventas, the Senior Lenders, the holders of the 1998 Notes, the
DOJ and the unsecured creditors committee toward a consensual plan of
reorganization.

   On August 11, 2000, the Company filed a motion to extend its exclusive right
to submit a plan of reorganization through September 29, 2000.  The hearing on
this motion is scheduled for September 6, 2000. The Bankruptcy Court currently
has extended the Company's exclusive right to submit a plan of reorganization
through August 17, 2000. The Company has requested an interim order from the
Bankruptcy Court to maintain the Company's exclusive right to file a plan of
reorganization until the motion is decided. The Company also will seek approval
under the DIP Financing to permit the Company to extend the period of time to
file its plan of reorganization.

Liquidity (Continued)

   A substantial portion of pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement
under the plan of reorganization to be submitted by the Company.  The plan of
reorganization must be voted upon by certain of the impaired creditors of the
Company and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the
plan of reorganization to be proposed by the Company will be approved by the
requisite holders of claims, confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court or that it will
be consummated. If the plan of reorganization is not accepted by the required
number of impaired creditors and the Company's exclusive right to file and
solicit acceptance of a plan of reorganization ends, any party in interest may
subsequently file its own plan of reorganization for the Company.

   A plan of reorganization must be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court after
certain findings required by the Bankruptcy Code are made by the Bankruptcy
Court. The Bankruptcy Court may confirm a plan of reorganization notwithstanding
the non-acceptance of the plan by an impaired class of creditors or equity
holders if certain requirements of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.  The
Company believes that any plan of reorganization likely will result in the
Company's common stock having no value.

   The Company was informed on April 9, 1999 by HCFA that the Medicare program
had made a demand for repayment of approximately $90 million of reimbursement
overpayments by April 23, 1999. On April 21, 1999, the Company entered into the
HCFA Agreement under which monthly payments of approximately $1.5 million
commenced in May 1999.  Since December 1999, the balance of the overpayments
bears interest at a statutory rate approximating 13.4%, resulting in a monthly
payment of approximately $2 million through March 2004. If the Company is
delinquent with two consecutive payments, the HCFA Agreement will be defaulted
and all subsequent Medicare reimbursement payments to the Company may be
withheld. Amounts due under the HCFA Agreement aggregated $71 million and have
been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the Company's unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000.  The Company has received
Bankruptcy Court approval to continue to make the monthly payments under the
HCFA Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

 Liabilities Subject to Compromise

   "Liabilities subject to compromise" refers to liabilities incurred prior to
the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases. These liabilities, consisting
primarily of long-term debt, amounts due to third party payors and certain
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, represent the Company's estimate of
known or potential claims to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11
Cases. Such claims remain subject to future adjustments based on assertions of
additional claims, negotiations, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, further
developments with respect to disputed claims, future rejection of executory
contracts or unexpired leases, determination as to the value of any collateral
securing claims, treatment under the plan of reorganization and other events.
Payment terms for these amounts will be established in connection with the plan
of reorganization.

   The Company has received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay pre-
petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries, benefits and other employee
obligations. The Bankruptcy Court also approved orders granting authority, among
other things, to pay pre-petition claims of certain critical vendors, utilities
and patient obligations. All other pre-petition liabilities are classified in
the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as liabilities subject to
compromise.

   Substantially all of the liabilities subject to compromise would have been
classified as current liabilities if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been filed.

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Liquidity (Continued)

 Cash Flows

   Since the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, cash flows from operations have
allowed the Company to fund post-petition obligations, sustain adequate
liquidity levels and minimize borrowings under the DIP Financing.  Cash flows
from operations before reorganization costs totaled $110 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $85 million in the first six months of
1999.  Cash flows in 1999 were reduced by $12 million in connection with the
settlement of certain litigation.  There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company can maintain its current liquidity levels during the pendency of the
Chapter 11 Cases.

   In January 2000, the Company filed its hospital cost reports for the year
August 31, 1999.  Cost reports are filed annually in settlement of amounts due
to or from the various agencies administering the reimbursement programs.  These
cost reports indicated amounts due from the Company aggregating $58 million.
This liability arose during 1999 as part of the Company's routine settlement of
Medicare reimbursement overpayments.  Such amounts are classified as liabilities
subject to compromise in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and,
accordingly, no funds were disbursed by the Company in settlement of such pre-
petition liabilities.

Capital Resources

   Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2000 aggregated $22 million
compared to $51 million a year ago.  Capital expenditures could approximate $80
million in 2000.  Management believes that its capital expenditure program is
adequate to improve and equip existing facilities.

   Capital expenditures in both periods were financed through internally
generated funds.  At June 30, 2000, the estimated cost to complete and equip
construction in progress approximated $14 million.  There can be no assurance
that the Company will have sufficient resources to finance its capital
expenditures program in 2000.

Other Information

   The Company is a party to certain material legal actions and regulatory
investigations.  See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

      ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   The Company's only significant exposure to market risk is changes in the
levels of various interest rates.  In this regard, changes in LIBOR interest
rates affect the interest paid on its borrowings.  In addition, the interest
rates on the DIP Financing are affected by changes in the Federal Funds rate and
the prime rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York.  To mitigate the
impact of fluctuations in these interest rates, the Company generally maintains
a portion of its borrowings on a fixed rate, long-term basis.  Prior to its
financial difficulties, the Company also entered into certain interest rate swap
transactions.  The Company had no active interest rate swap agreements at June
30, 2000.

   As previously discussed, the Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases on September
13, 1999.  Accordingly, all amounts disclosed in the table below are subject to
compromise in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.  While the fair values of
the Company's debt obligations declined significantly as a result of the Chapter
11 Cases, such amounts do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the
resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases or other matters discussed herein.

   Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness
against the Company are subject to an automatic stay and other contractual
obligations against the Company may not be enforced.  In addition, the Company
may assume or reject executory contracts under the Bankruptcy Code.

   The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  The table
constitutes a forward-looking statement.  For long-term debt, the table presents
principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected
maturity date.
