     Matria Healthcare,  Inc.  ("Registrant")  hereby  incorporates by reference
into this registration statement the following documents:

(a)  the  Registrant's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year  ended

     Medical  Corporation  ("Tokos"),  predecessors of the Registrant,  filed as
     part of Registrant's Registration Statement No. 333-00781 on Form S-4 filed
     with the Commission  February 7, 1996 (the "Joint Proxy Statement"),  as it

     this registration statement for the purpose of updating such description.

     In  addition,   all  documents  filed   subsequent  to  the  date  of  this
registration statement by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c),  14 and 15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (the
"Exchange  Act") and prior to the filing of a  post-effective  amendment  hereto
which either  indicates that all shares of common stock offered hereby have been

be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this  registration  statement and
to be a part hereof from their  respective  dates of filing.  Any statement in a

deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration  Statement
to the extent that a statement  contained herein,  or in any other  subsequently

modifies  or  supersedes  such  statement.   Any  statement  contained  in  this
registration  statement  shall be deemed to be  modified or  susperseded  to the
extent that a statement  contained in a subsequently  filed document which is or
is deemed to be  incorporated  by reference  herein  modifies or supersedes such
statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,  except
as so  modified  or  superseded,  to  constitute  a part  of  this  registration
statement.

ITEM 4.  Description of Securities.

                  Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     The  legality  of the shares  offered  hereby is being  passed upon for the
Registrant  by Troutman  Sanders  LLP,  Atlanta,  Georgia.  Carl E.  Sanders,  a
director of the  Registrant  and the  Chairman of Troutman  Sanders  LLP, is the
beneficial owner of 118,667 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant.

ITEM 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") permits a
corporation  to indemnify  officers,  directors,  employees  and agents  against
expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts  paid in
settlement  if such  person  acted  in good  faith  and in a manner  the  person
reasonably  believed  to be in, or not  opposed  to, the best  interests  of the
corporation,  and with respect to any criminal actions,  had no reasonable cause
to believe was unlawful.  In the case of an action brought by or in the right of
a corporation,  the corporation may indemnify a director,  officer,  employee or
agent of the corporation against expenses  (including  attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably  incurred by him or her if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner  he or she  reasonably  believed  to be in or  not  opposed  to the  best
interests of the corporation,  except that no  indemnification  shall be made in
respect of any claim,  issue or matter as to which such  person  shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the  corporation  unless a court finds that, in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. The DGCL provides
that a  corporation  may advance  expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written
undertaking to reimburse the corporation if  indemnification is not appropriate)
and must  reimburse a successful  defendant for expenses,  including  attorney's
fees,  actually and reasonably  incurred,  and permits a corporation to purchase
and maintain liability insurance for its directors and officers.

     The  Registrant's  Certificate of  Incorporation  provides that  Registrant
shall,  to the fullest  extent  permitted by law,  indemnify  its  directors and
officers against any liability,  losses or related expenses which they may incur
by reason of serving or having served as directors  and officers of  Registrant.
The Registrant's  Certificate of Incorporation  limits  Registrant's  directors'
liability for monetary  damages to Registrant and its  stockholders for breaches
of  fiduciary  duty to the fullest  extent  permitted  under the DGCL.  The DGCL
permits Delaware corporations to include in their certificate of incorporation a
provision  eliminating  or limiting  director  liability  for  monetary  damages
arising from breaches of fiduciary duty. The only limitations  imposed under the
statute are that the provision may not eliminate or limit a director's liability
(i) for breaches of the  director's  duty of loyalty to the  corporation  or its
stockholders,  (ii)  for  acts or  omissions  not in  good  faith  or  involving
intentional  misconduct  or known  violations  of law,  (iii) for the payment of
unlawful  dividends  or unlawful  stock  purchases  or  redemptions  or (iv) for
transactions in which the director received an improper personal benefit.
<PAGE>

     The  Registrant's  Bylaws  provide  that each person who is involved in any
action,  suit  or  proceeding,   whether  civil,  criminal,   administrative  or
investigative,  by  reason of the fact  that he or she is or was a  director  or
officer of Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of  another  corporation  or  of  a
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,  including service with
respect to an employee  benefit plan,  will be indemnified by the corporation to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably
incurred  or  suffered  by  such  person  in  connection  therewith,   and  such
indemnification  will  continue  as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer,  employee  or agent and will inure to the  benefit or his or her heirs,
executors and administrators;  provided, however, that Registrant will indemnify
any  such  person  seeking  indemnification  in  connection  with  a  proceeding
initiated by such person only if such  proceeding was authorized by Registrant's
Board of  Directors.  The  right to  indemnification  is a  contract  right  and
includes the right to be paid by Registrant  the expenses  incurred in defending
any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that
if the DGCL so requires,  the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer in advance of the final  disposition  of a proceeding  will be made only
upon delivery to Registrant of an undertaking,  by or on behalf of such director
or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it will ultimately be determined
that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified.  The Registrant
may provide  indemnification to employees and agents of Registrant with the same
scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

     The  indemnification  rights conferred by the  Registrant's  Certificate of
Incorporation  and Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested  directors or otherwise.  Registrant  maintains an
insurance  policy on behalf  of its  directors  and  officers  insuring  against
certain liabilities including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

23(a) Consent of KPMG LLP.

23(b) Consent of Troutman Sanders LLP (contained in opinion filed in Exhibit 5).

ITEM 9.  Undertakings.

     (a) Rule 415 offerings. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file,  during any period in which  offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)  To include any  prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the Securities
     Act;

(ii) To  reflect  in the  prospectus  any  facts or  events  arising  after  the
     effective  date  of  the   registration   statement  (or  the  most  recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the aggregate,
     represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the  information  set  forth  in the
     registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any increase or
     decrease  in volume of  securities  offered (if the total  dollar  value of
     securities  offered  would not exceed  that which was  registered)  and any
     deviation from the low or high and of the estimated  maximum offering range
     may be  reflected  in the form of  prospectus  filed  with  the  Commission
     pursuant  to Rule  424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the changes in volume and
     price  represent  no more than 20 percent  change in the maximum  aggregate
     offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration  Fee" table in
     the effective registration statement.
<PAGE>

(iii)To  include  any  material   information   with  respect  to  the  plan  of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the registration  statement or any
     material change to such information in the registration statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information  required to be included in a post-effective  amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant  pursuant to
Section  13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act that  are  incorporated  by
reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering
thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

(b)  Filings incorporating  subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference.  The
     undersigned  Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
     any liability  under the  Securities  Act, each filing of the  Registrant's
     annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
     Act that is incorporated by reference in the  registration  statement shall
     be deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the  securities
     offered therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Filing of registration  statement on Form S-8.  Insofar as  indemnification
     for  liabilities  arising  under the  Securities  Act may be  permitted  to
     directors,  officers and controlling  persons of the Registrant pursuant to
     the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
     in the opinion of the  Commission  such  indemnification  is against public
     policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
     In the event  that a claim for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities
     (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
     director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
     defense of any action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted by such director,
     officer or  controlling  person in  connection  with the  securities  being
     registered,  the Registrant will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been  settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against  public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
