                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

         GENERAL. Matria Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Matria" or
the "Company"), was incorporated on October 4, 1995 for the purpose of the
merger (the "Merger") of Tokos Medical Corporation (Delaware), a Delaware
corporation ("Tokos"), and Healthdyne, Inc., a Georgia corporation
("Healthdyne"), with and into Matria. The effective date of the Merger was March
8, 1996. Prior to the Merger, Matria had no material assets or liabilities and
its then outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were
held exclusively by Tokos and Healthdyne. As a result of the Merger, the
operations and assets of Tokos and Healthdyne were consolidated into Matria, and
each share of common stock of Tokos and Healthdyne outstanding on the effective
date of the Merger was exchanged for one share of Matria common stock.

         The Company is engaged principally in the business of providing women's
health services, diabetes supplies and services, cardiovascular and respiratory
disease management services.

         ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES. On June 1, 1996, the Company
exercised an option and acquired the remaining ownership interest in National
Reproductive Medical Centers, Inc. ("NRMC"), a physician practice management
services business that managed infertility treatment centers in California, in
which Healthdyne had previously owned a minority interest. The Company sold its
entire interest in this business in the third and fourth quarters of 1999.

         Effective July 1, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Quality Diagnostic Services, Inc. ("QDS"), a Georgia-based company
engaged in the business of cardiac event monitoring, holter monitoring and
pacemaker follow-up.

         Also in July 1998, the Company entered into a subcontract agreement
with National Jewish Medical and Research Center ("National Jewish"). Under the
terms of the subcontract agreement, the Company provides screening, enrollment
and call support services to participants in National Jewish's respiratory
disease management programs. On October 1, 1998, the Company acquired an
exclusive, five-year license to market and provide National Jewish's respiratory
disease management programs in North America.

         On January 15, 1998, the Company acquired 10% of the outstanding stock
of Diabetes Management Services, Inc. ("DMS"), a South Carolina-based company
engaged in the sale of insulin pumps and diabetes supplies as well as providing
diabetes education and management services. The Company also acquired an option
to purchase the balance of the outstanding stock of DMS at a formula price and
agreed to provide working capital for DMS's growth and expansion. Effective
January 1, 1999, the Company acquired the remaining 90% ownership interest in
DMS.

         Also effective January 1, 1999, Matria acquired substantially all of
the assets of Gainor Medical Management, L.L.C. ("Gainor Medical"), a Georgia
limited liability company engaged in the business of diabetes disease management
in the United States and Germany and the design, assembly, packaging and
distribution of microsampling products throughout the world.

         BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. In 1999, the Company's
operations consisted of three reportable business segments: Women's Health,
Diabetes Supplies and Services, and Cardiovascular. Information regarding net
sales, operating income, and total assets of each of the business segments in
which the Company operated in fiscal years 1997 through 1999 is in Note 15 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-23 through F-24 of this
report.

         Women's Health. The Women's Health segment offers a wide range of
specialized services designed to assist physicians and payors in the
cost-effective management of maternity patients. Services include specialized
home nursing, risk assessment, patient education and management, home uterine
contraction


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

monitoring, infusion therapy, gestational diabetes management and other
monitoring and clinical services as prescribed by the patient's physician. The
Women's Health segment has 44 sites of services throughout the United States, 15
of which are monitoring centers. Forty-one of the 44 sites are or are in the
process of becoming accredited as home care organizations by the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. In addition, the
segment has two after-hours centers. Although this segment maintains a dominant
market share, the industry continues to be vulnerable to several controversies
surrounding the home obstetrical care business, including academic debate as to
the efficacy of certain services and controversy over the "off-label" use of
certain tocolytic medications. See "Regulation and Healthcare Industry Changes"
below in this Item 1. In July 1999, the Women's Health segment entered into an
agreement with Cooper Surgical, Inc. to market Cooper Surgical, Inc.'s
FemExam(R) PH and Amines TestCard(TM) used for point of service differential
diagnosis of vaginitis for both obstetrical and non-obstetrical patients. This
marketing agreement represented the segment's expansion of its product lines
outside the obstetrical market to include the entire gynecological population.

         Diabetes Supplies and Services. The Diabetes Supplies and Services
segment has two components: diabetes disease management and microsampling
products, which are products used to obtain and test small samples of bodily
fluid.

         The diabetes disease management component sells insulin, insulin pumps,
syringes, microsampling products and other prescription and non-prescription
drugs used by diabetics. The majority of this business's sales are made on a
mail-order basis. In addition, this business provides diabetes screening,
education and patient management services. This business serves patients in the
United States through its facilities in Roanoke, Virginia and Van Nuys,
California and in Germany through its facilities in Neumunster and Dresden,
Germany. Approximately 47% and 50% of this business component's revenues were
derived from its German operations in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         The Company's microsampling products component is the leading global
supplier of standard lancets, lancing devices and safety lancets. This business
designs, assembles, packages and distributes products manufactured by Nissho
Corporation, a publicly traded Japanese manufacturer and distributor of medical
equipment with a core competency in needle-based technology. This business
operates from facilities in McDonough, Georgia, and Milton Keynes and
Northants, England. Its products are shipped primarily to North and South
America, Europe and Asia. Approximately 21% and 27% of this business component's
revenues were derived from sales outside of the United States in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

         Because of the Company's dependence on foreign markets, deterioration
in foreign economic conditions and currency exchange rate fluctuations could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Due to the foregoing
factors, as well as foreign local commercial and economic policies and political
uncertainties, the Company believes its activities outside of the United States
involve greater risk than its domestic business.

         Cardiovascular. The Cardiovascular segment provides cardiac event
monitoring services, holter monitoring services and pacemaker follow-up to
patients throughout the United States from its headquarters in Marietta,
Georgia.

         Other. The Other business segment has three components that are below
the quantitative threshold for reporting: respiratory disease management,
clinical patient record software and infertility practice management.

         The respiratory disease management business (Respiratory Management
Services - "RMS"), which is in its early stages, provides respiratory disease
risk assessment, screening and case management services to patients throughout
the United States from its headquarters in Marietta, Georgia in conjunction with
National Jewish's facility located in Denver, Colorado.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         The clinical patient record software business (Clinical-Management
Systems, Inc. - "CMS") markets a proprietary automated patient record for
obstetricians and gynecologists. This business's operations are currently
confined to the United States. This business is in the process of developing a
new product to replace its existing product in the second quarter of 2000.

         The infertility practice management business unit (NRMC) managed three
fertility clinics in California, which provided a broad spectrum of diagnostic
and therapeutic services to infertile couples from throughout the United States,
with particular emphasis on in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer
procedures. This unit also made its laboratory services available to other
infertility practices. The Company divested itself of this business unit in the
latter half of 1999.

         CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. In 1999, the Company's
revenues were derived from the following types of customers: approximately 54%
from private third-party payors, 22% from original equipment manufacturers, 12%
from domestic government payors, 10% from foreign healthcare systems and 2% from
employers. The Women's Health segment generated approximately 94% of its
revenues from private third-party payors and 6% of its revenues from domestic
government payors in 1999. Of the Diabetes Supplies and Services segment
revenues in 1999, approximately 50% were obtained from original equipment
manufacturers, 23% were from foreign healthcare systems, 18% were from domestic
government payors, 5% were from employers and 4% were from private third-party
payors. Approximately 73% of the Cardiovascular segment's 1999 revenues were
derived from private third-party payors and the remaining 27% were from domestic
government payors.

         The Company markets its women's health services, diabetes disease
management services, cardiovascular services and respiratory disease management
services to patients, physicians, other healthcare providers and third-party
payors, primarily through its employee sales force and independent sales
representatives. All of these businesses' revenues depend on reimbursement from
third-party payors, such as managed care companies and government-sponsored
health insurance programs. Third-party payors are having greater control over
patient access and increasingly use their significant bargaining power to secure
discounted rates and other concessions from providers. This trend, as well as
other changes in reimbursement rates, policies or payment practices by
third-party payors (whether initiated by the payor or legislatively mandated)
could have an adverse impact on the Company's disease management businesses.

         The microsampling business of the Diabetes Supplies and Services
segment markets its products through its employee sales force. Its customers
include original equipment manufacturers of blood glucose and other
point-of-care test kits, as well as mail order companies, kit companies and
distributors that sell to the acute care, alternate care and primary care
markets. Three major original equipment manufacturer customers represented
approximately 83% of this business's total sales in 1999. Although the Company
believes its relationships with these customers are strong, the loss of any of
these major customers could have a material adverse effect on this business
component. Additionally, this business is highly dependent on its exclusive
supply relationship with Nissho Corporation, from which it purchases virtually
all of its products on favorable payment terms. The exclusive supply agreement
has approximately three years remaining. Termination of the exclusive supply
agreement or failure to continue the exclusive supply agreement on the terms
currently in effect would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
microsampling products business, as would any interruption in the supply of
products from Nissho Corporation, whatever the cause.

         The Company markets its clinical patient record software to physicians
using a sales force employed by CMS.

         The Company marketed the services of the fertility practices it managed
by advertising in various media in targeted markets and by presentation of
educational seminars to prospective patients. The Company from time to time
offered promotional programs under which qualified patients whose pregnancies
did not succeed were entitled to a refund of a portion of the Company's fees.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

         SEASONALITY. The Women's Health segment's revenues tend to be seasonal.
Revenues typically begin to decrease with the onset of the holiday season
starting with Thanksgiving, causing the first quarter revenues of each year to
be less than those of the fourth quarter of the previous year. The Company's
other businesses do not reflect any significant degree of seasonality.

         TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND PATENTS. The Company owns a number of
trademarks and service marks which, in the aggregate, are important to the
marketing and promotion of its products and services. The Company does not
believe, however, that any single trademark or service mark is material in
relation to the Company's business as a whole. The Company generally makes a
practice of protecting its most significant trademarks by registration.

         The Company has licensed its respiratory disease management programs
from National Jewish. Insofar as the licensed programs are the cornerstone of
the Company's respiratory disease management programs, the license is material
to that portion of the Company's business. Additionally, the Company has an
exclusive, perpetual right to use and purchase from Respironics, Inc. the only
uterine contraction monitor that has received pre-market approval from the Food
and Drug Administration ("FDA") for home use in connection with preterm labor.
The Company's rights to the monitors are a material competitive advantage in
marketing the Company's uterine contraction monitoring services.

         The Company does not possess any patents that are material to its
business, although the patents owned by Nissho Corporation and its
subcontractors with respect to products distributed by the microsampling
business are material to the continued marketing of those products.

         Also, the Company considers its clinical and disease management
programs to be proprietary and material to the portion of the Company's business
to which they relate.

         Any impairment of the Company's rights in the intellectual property
described above could have a material adverse effect on the particular business
to which they relate.

         COMPETITION. The medical industry is characterized by rapidly
developing technology and increased competition. In all its product and service
lines, the Company competes with companies, both large and small, located in the
United States and abroad. Competition is strong in all lines, without regard to
the number and size of the competing companies involved. Certain of the
Company's competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater
financial, technical and sales resources than the Company and may, in certain
locations, possess licenses or certificates that permit them to provide products
and services that the Company cannot currently provide.

         Although both the Women's Health segment and the Cardiovascular segment
are leading providers in their respective markets, with market shares of
approximately 85% and 20%, respectively, both they and the Company's other
disease management businesses compete with a vast and ever increasing number of
competitors. Competitors of the Company's disease management businesses include
national, regional and local home health agencies, hospitals and physicians, as
well as other companies devoted primarily to offering one or more products or
services similar or identical to those offered by the Company, such as cardiac
event monitoring, diabetes supplies or diabetes education. The Company competes
on a number of factors, including quality of care and service, reputation within
the medical community, geographical scope and price. The Company believes that
its clinical expertise and coordinated approach to patient services have enabled
it to compete effectively.

         Competition in the microsampling business of the Company's Diabetes
Supplies and Services segment also is based on quality, service and price. In
addition, competition in research involving the development of new products and
the improvement of existing products is particularly significant. Competitors'
research efforts could lead to the obsolescence of some or all of the
microsampling business's products. The microsampling industry is highly
fragmented, with numerous competitors of all sizes. The quality of the


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

microsampling business's products, as well as its strong distribution system,
value-added approach to customer service, and design and development expertise
have enabled this business to achieve its significant market share,
notwithstanding the highly competitive environment in which it operates.

         There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter increased
or more effective competition in the future, which could limit the Company's
ability to maintain or increase its business or render some products and
services offered by Matria obsolete or non-competitive and which could adversely
affect the Company's operating results.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The microsampling business of the Diabetes
Supplies and Services segment maintains a dedicated research and development
staff at its headquarters in McDonough, Georgia. This business's research and
development activities are key factors in its ability to stay abreast of its
competition.

         The Company's Women's Health, Cardiovascular and Other business
segments do not maintain separate research and development teams. Program
development and refinements result from the cooperative efforts of the
businesses' clinical, operating and marketing staff and these costs are charged
to earnings when incurred. The Company's clinical patient record software
business outsources the development of its software products. These costs are
recorded as intangible assets as incurred and are amortized over the estimated
useful life.

         REGULATION AND HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY CHANGES. All of the Company's
businesses are subject to varying degrees of government regulation in the
countries in which they operate. There has been a trend in recent years both in
the United States and outside of the United States toward more stringent
regulation of, and enforcement of requirements applicable to, healthcare
providers and medical device manufacturers. The continuing trend of more
stringent regulatory oversight in healthcare, enforcement activities and product
clearance for medical devices have caused healthcare providers and manufacturers
to experience more uncertainty, greater risk, higher expenses and longer
approval cycles. Management does not expect this trend to change in the near or
long term, in the United States or abroad.

         In the United States, regulation of the healthcare industry is
particularly pervasive. Many states require providers of home health services,
such as the Company's Women's Health segment, to be licensed as nursing or home
health agencies and to have medical waste disposal permits. In addition, the
operations of Matria's diabetes disease management businesses require Matria to
be licensed as a pharmacy in several states. Moreover, certain employees of the
Company are subject to state laws and regulations regarding the ethics and
professional practice of pharmacy and nursing. The Company may also be required
to obtain certification to participate in governmental payment programs, such as
Medicare and Medicaid. Some states have established Certificate of Need ("CON")
programs regulating the establishment or expansion of healthcare operations. The
failure to obtain, renew or maintain any of the required licenses,
certifications or CONs could adversely affect the Company's disease management
businesses.

         In addition, the Company's disease management businesses are subject to
various federal and state statutes regulating payments to or relationships with
referral sources. Penalties for violation of these statutes include substantial
fines and penalties, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in
governmental healthcare programs.

         Moreover, many of the medical products distributed by the Company or
utilized by the Company for the provision of its services are classified as
medical devices under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC Act")
and are subject to regulation by the FDA. In addition, some of the services
involve the use of drugs or tests that are regulated by the FDA under the FDC
Act. Although these medical devices, drugs and tests are labeled for specific
indications and cannot be promoted for any other indications, physicians may and
do prescribe them for indications that have not been approved by the FDA. The
FDA allows physicians to prescribe drugs for such "off-label" indications under
the "practice of medicine" doctrine. For example,


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

terbutaline sulfate is labeled for the treatment of asthma but is frequently
prescribed by obstetricians as a tocolytic for the treatment of preterm labor.
In response to a petition filed by the National Women's Health Network, in
November 1997, the FDA issued a letter to physicians reiterating that the use of
terbutaline sulfate has not been approved by the FDA for the management of
preterm labor. In 1998, the Company received and responded to a request from the
FDA for information regarding the Company's promotion of terbutaline sulfate for
off-label uses. The Company believes that publicity concerning the off-label use
of terbutaline sulfate has adversely affected the Company's Women's Health
segment's business.

         As a result of the Company's desire to assure compliance with the
increasingly complex regulatory environment for the healthcare industry, the
Company maintains a company-wide compliance program, developed in accordance
with federal guidelines.

         Although the Company believes its operations as currently conducted are
in material compliance with existing applicable laws and regulations, there can
be no assurance that the Company will not become the subject of a regulatory or
other investigation or proceeding or that its interpretations of applicable laws
and regulations will not be challenged. The defense of any such challenge could
result in substantial cost to the Company and diversion of management's time and
attention. Thus, any such challenge could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, regardless of whether it ultimately is sustained. Moreover,
the Company believes that its businesses will continue to be subject to
increasing regulation, the scope and effect of which the Company cannot predict.

         The healthcare industry in the United States is experiencing a period
of extensive change due to economic forces, regulatory influences and political
initiatives. Market-driven reforms from forces within the industry are exerting
pressure on healthcare companies to reduce healthcare costs. These market-driven
changes are resulting in industry wide consolidation that is expected to
increase the downward pressure on healthcare companies' profit margins, as
larger buyer and supplier groups exert pricing pressures on healthcare
companies. In addition, from time to time federal and state legislatures
consider healthcare reform proposals. The ultimate timing or effect of
legislative efforts and market-driven reforms cannot be predicted, and these
initiatives may adversely impact Matria's business.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

         Matria's principal executive and administrative offices are located at
1850 Parkway Place, Marietta, Georgia, and total approximately 104,000 square
feet. The facility is leased through February 28, 2003.

         Additional properties also are leased for the other operations of
Matria. The Women's Health segment's patient service centers are typically
located in suburban office parks and range between 600 and 6,500 square feet of
space with an average of approximately 2,200 square feet. Total square footage
for these facilities is approximately 105,000 square feet. These facilities are
leased for various terms through 2004.

         The Company's microsampling business maintains its headquarters in
McDonough, Georgia, where its facility consists of approximately 48,000 square
feet of office and warehouse space. The lease term on the facility expires in
2011. The microsampling business also leases approximately 1,000 square feet of
warehouse space in Milton Keynes, England under an automatically renewable
lease, which can be cancelled with six months notice. It also has a 200 square
foot office in Northants, England under a lease that expires in August 2000 and
which is expected to be amended to allow for a longer term. The Company's
diabetes disease management business maintains its United States headquarters in
Roanoke, Virginia, where its facility consists of approximately 24,000 square
feet of office and warehouse space, which is leased through November 2000. This
business also leases approximately 3,200 square feet of office and warehouse
space in Van Nuys, California on a month-to-month basis. This operation is
tentatively scheduled to move to an existing Matria facility in Irvine,
California in May 2000. This business also maintains leased facilities in
Neumunster and Dresden, Germany, consisting of approximately 3,200 and 6,500
square feet, respectively. The Neumunster lease expires in 2000, with automatic
unlimited renewals, and the Dresden lease expires in 2005.

         The three NRMC clinics, which were located in California, totaled
approximately 29,000 square feet. The leases on two of the clinics terminated in
1999 with the sale of those clinics. The third facility was leased pursuant to
an agreement that expires in 2006. The Company has sublet most of that facility
to the acquirer of the business operated from that facility.

         These facilities are generally in good condition, and Matria believes
that they are adequate for and suitable to its requirements.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Matria is subject to various legal claims and actions incidental to its
business and the businesses of its predecessors and their respective
subsidiaries, including product liability claims and professional liability
claims. As did its predecessors, Matria maintains insurance, including insurance
covering professional and product liability claims, with customary deductible
amounts. There can be no assurance, however, that (i)


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

additional suits will not be filed in the future against Matria, (ii) Matria's
prior experience with respect to the disposition of its litigation accurately
indicates the results that will occur in pending or future cases or (iii)
adequate insurance coverage will be available at acceptable prices for incidents
arising or claims made in the future.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         Matria's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and is
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "MATR". The
approximate number of record holders as of March 10, 2000 was 2,725.

         Neither Matria nor its predecessors paid any cash dividends with
respect to their respective common stocks and Matria does not intend to declare
any dividends in the near future. The Company is a party to a Loan and Security
Agreement that contains covenants restricting the payment of dividends on the
Company's common stock. Matria is a party to an indenture assumed from
Healthdyne relating to subordinated debentures that contains provisions
restricting the payment of cash dividends during the continuation of a default
in the payment of interest on the subordinated debentures.

         The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated,
the high and low sales prices of Matria common stock from January 1, 1998
through December 31, 1999:

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

         The following sets forth selected consolidated financial data in
respect of the Company's continuing operations. The data should be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and the financial statements. The statement of operations
data for the five years ended December 31, 1999 and the related balance sheet
data have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the
Company.

         The selected financial information represents the financial performance
of Matria from March 1, 1996 through December 31, 1999 and, for all prior
periods, of Tokos (deemed for accounting purposes to be the acquiror of
Healthdyne in the Merger). For all practical purposes, Matria did not engage in
business prior to the effective date of the Merger, and the results of Tokos are
not necessarily indicative of Matria's future performance.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

         During 1998 and early 1999, the Company announced several strategic
actions to expand its business focus beyond managing the condition of pregnancy
into other disease management markets. These actions included: (i) the
acquisition in July 1998 of Quality Diagnostic Services, Inc. ("QDS"), a cardiac
event monitoring company; (ii) the completion of a licensing agreement in
October 1998 with National Jewish Medical and Research Center ("National
Jewish") to provide services in the respiratory disease management market; and
(iii) the acquisition in January 1999 of the business and assets of Gainor
Medical Management, L.L.C. ("Gainor Medical") and Diabetes Management Services,
Inc. ("DMS"), diabetes supplies and services companies. Disease management is an
emerging healthcare sector receiving a heightened focus in the healthcare
industry, and the competition in this sector is fragmented without a dominant
leader. The Company's management believes that with the successful
implementation of its expansion strategies, the Company will become the market
leader in disease management and that these strategies will result in continued
revenue growth in 2000 and beyond.

         In connection with the above acquisitions, the Company acquired
intangible assets that are being amortized over various useful lives from 5-15
years. The amortization periods are based on, among other things, the nature of
the products and markets, the competitive position of the acquired companies and
the adaptability to changing market conditions of the acquired companies.

         During the third quarter of 1999, the Company determined that the
infertility practice management business, National Reproductive Medical Centers,
Inc. ("NRMC"), was a business that no longer fit its diversified disease
management strategy. As a result of this decision, assets of the NRMC clinics
were sold in the third and fourth quarters of 1999.

         The following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes of the Company included in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). As a result of the 1998
and 1999 strategic actions and acquisitions, the historical results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved
by the Company during future periods.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues increased $112.120 million or 82.9% in 1999 compared to 1998,
primarily due to the acquisitions of the Gainor Medical business and DMS, the
businesses that are included in the Diabetes Supplies and Services segment since
January 1, 1999, and QDS, the business that is included in the Cardiovascular
segment since July 1, 1998. Revenues for the Diabetes Supplies and Services
segment were $110.529 million in 1999. Revenues for the Cardiovascular segment
were $15.596 million for 1999 and $6.644 million in 1998. The increase in
revenues for these two segments in 1999 was partly offset by a $5.161 million or
4.5% decrease in revenues in the Women's Health segment in 1999, as well as a
$2.180 million decline in revenues in the Other segments resulting primarily
from the sale of the infertility practice management business. The decline in
the Women's Health segment resulted from the termination of marketing rights of
the fetal fibronectin immunoassay (fFN) test effective August 31, 1998, as well
as a decline in prescriptions for preterm labor management services.

         Revenues for 1998 decreased $9.318 million or 6.4% from 1997, primarily
due to a $13.342 million or 10.4% decline in revenues in the Women's Health
segment. A 15.5% decrease in revenues from preterm labor management services,
resulting primarily from a decrease in prescriptions for these services, was
partially offset by growth in revenues from maternity education and assessment
services as well as the Diabetes in Pregnancy Program, which was initiated in
the last half of 1997. Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement


                                       14
<PAGE>   15

with the manufacturer of the fFN test to relinquish all marketing rights to the
test, effective August 31, 1998. After this date, the Company no longer had
revenues on sales of fFN tests. Revenues from marketing these tests, which are
included in the Women's Health segment, were $2.991 million and $3.636 million
in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Cardiovascular segment produced revenues of
$6.644 million in 1998 as a result of the acquisition of QDS, effective July 1,
1998.

         Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 50.0% for
1999 from 39.5% and 39.9%, in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 1999 increase
resulted from the acquisition of the Gainor Medical business with its cost of
revenues of 66.0%. Excluding the Diabetes Supplies and Services segment, cost of
revenues for 1999 was 37.1% of revenues. This reduction was primarily the result
of a decrease in the cost of revenues of the Women's Health segment, which was
35.5% of revenues in 1999 compared to 36.9% in 1998 and 36.6% in 1997, primarily
achieved through consolidation of service sites and operating efficiencies.

         Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 32.1% for 1999 from 46.6% for 1998 due to economies of scale
achieved as a result of the Company's acquisitions of Gainor Medical, QDS and
DMS. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 45.0%
in 1997. The increase in 1998 was due in part to increased expenses associated
with the Company's strategy to diversify into the disease management market.

         The Company provides for estimated uncollectible accounts as revenues
are recognized. The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenues
in the Women's Health and Cardiovascular segments was approximately 5% in 1999,
1998 and 1997. The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenues
in the Diabetes Supplies and Services segment was 1% for 1999. The provision is
adjusted periodically based upon the Company's quarterly evaluation of
historical collection experience, recoveries of amounts previously provided,
industry reimbursement trends and other relevant factors. Therefore, the
provision rate could vary on a quarterly basis.

         Amortization of intangible assets decreased in 1999 compared to 1998
and 1997 due to the write-offs of intangible assets taken in 1998. The impact of
the decrease resulting from these write-offs was partially offset by the
additional amortization of the intangible assets recorded as part of the
acquisitions described above.

         In 1998, the Company recorded an $82.885 million asset impairment
charge of which $74.496 million was to write-down goodwill and intangible assets
relating to the 1996 merger of Tokos and Healthdyne and $8.389 million was to
write-down goodwill relating to the acquisition of NRMC. As part of its 1997
Business Assessment Plan, the Company assessed the future of its preterm labor
management business and expected revenue growth and profits to improve in 1998
and future years. However, in 1998, revenues continued to decline due to
negative market forces which impacted this business. In addition, in 1998, the
Company revised its strategic plan to expand beyond maternity management. As a
result, in the third quarter of 1998, the Company determined that estimated
future undiscounted cash flows of this segment of the business were below the
carrying value of its long-lived assets and goodwill. Accordingly, the Company
adjusted the carrying value of these long-lived assets and goodwill downward by
$74.496 million to their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was
based on anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved.

         As a result of NRMC's inability to achieve improvements specified in
the 1997 Business Assessment Plan, as well as continued operational issues,
including the termination of the employment of the founding physician in July
1998, NRMC's net revenue declined approximately 17% in 1998. As a result, in the
fourth quarter of 1998, the Company determined that NRMC's estimated future cash
flows were below the carrying value of its long-lived assets. Accordingly, the
Company adjusted the carrying value of NRMC's long-lived assets, primarily
goodwill, to their estimated fair value by recording an $8.389 million asset
impairment charge. The estimated fair value was based on anticipated cash flows
discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

         The Company recorded a $2.482 million charge in 1998 for acquired
in-process research and development costs as a result of the acquisition of QDS.

         During the third quarter of 1999, the Company began an assessment of
the cost structure of its Women's Health segment and decided that the number of
its monitoring centers could be significantly reduced without compromising
patient care or reducing services provided to patients, physicians or payors.
These cost-saving initiatives continued into the fourth quarter of 1999 and
resulted in total restructuring charges of $4.241 million in 1999. These
cost-saving measures are expected to result in total annualized cost reductions
in excess of $5 million.

         Interest expense increased by $7.102 million in 1999 compared to 1998
due to a significant increase in borrowings related to business acquisitions.

         Other income for 1999 includes gains of $17.349 million from $20.720
million in proceeds of sales of the Company's investment in Healtheon/WebMD
Corporation. The Company's investment and sales activity related to its holdings
in Healtheon/WebMD Corporation is summarized below.

         The Company did not record a federal or state income tax expense in
1999, 1998 or 1997 due to the Company's operating loss carryforwards. A $4.000
million income tax benefit was recognized in the third quarter of 1999 as a
result of the elimination of the valuation allowance related to the deferred
income tax asset based on expected future operating earnings of the combined
Company. With this complete recognition of the deferred income tax asset, future
pre-tax earnings will result in the recognition of income tax expense. However,
no significant cash outflows are expected in the near future for income taxes
since, as of December 31, 1999, the Company's deferred tax asset of $36.725
million (which includes the tax effect of tax net operating loss carryforwards
of $74.827 million) will be available to offset future taxable income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operations increased to $13.188 million in 1999
compared to $4.931 million in 1998 and $667,000 in 1997. Contributing to the
1999 cash flow improvement was a 198% improvement in operating earnings,
excluding amortization of intangibles and one-time charges, from $12.140 million
in 1998 to $36.211 million in 1999.

         The Company's accounts receivable days' sales outstanding were 69 days
as of December 31, 1999, compared to 96 days as of December 31, 1998. The
reduction is due to lower days' sales outstanding of the Diabetes Supplies and
Services segment (41 days' sales outstanding), as well as a reduction of
accounts receivable days' sales outstanding in the Women's Health segment from
111 days at December 31, 1998 to 90 days at December 31, 1999. Approximately 25%
of the Gainor Medical business's sales are reimbursed by third-party and
domestic and German government healthcare payors with the remaining sales being
to original equipment manufacturers, corporate employers and international
healthcare systems.

         Net cash used in (provided by) investing activities was $78.227 million
in 1999, $18.902 million in 1998 and $(3.090) million in 1997. In 1999, $93.022
million was expended on the purchases of the Gainor Medical business and DMS.
Capital expenditures of $7.361 million in 1999 and $5.942 in 1998 relate
primarily to the purchases of patient equipment to support revenue growth in the
Cardiovascular segment and for the upgrade and expansion of computer information
systems in all segments as the Company positioned itself for expansion into new
markets. In 1998, expenditures of $19.947 million were made related to the
acquisitions of QDS and DMS.

         In connection with the acquisition of QDS, the Company invested $2.010
million in 1998 in preferred stock of WebMD, Inc. and received options and
warrants to purchase additional shares of WebMD, Inc. for $2.680 million, which
were exercised in 1999. In November 1999, WebMD, Inc. merged with Healtheon


                                       16
<PAGE>   17

Corporation into Healtheon/WebMD Corporation. The Company sold 561,030 shares of
Healtheon/WebMD in the fourth quarter of 1999. At December 31, 1999, the Company
had a remaining investment in Healtheon/WebMD of 219,816 shares. Subsequent to
year-end, the Company sold an additional 169,570 shares of Healtheon/WebMD
resulting in proceeds of approximately $6.800 million and a gain of
approximately $5.800 million, which will be recognized in the first quarter of
2000. As of March 15, 2000, the Company had 50,246 shares of this investment
remaining.

         As discussed above, total proceeds of $27.500 million have been
received in 1999 and 2000 from sales of Healtheon/WebMD. Of this amount, $2.680
million was used in 1999 to exercise the options and warrants to purchase
additional shares and $21.600 million was used to reduce the Company's term loan
facility ($15.000 million in 1999 and $6.600 million in the first quarter of
2000).

         In 1997, the Company entered into a bank credit agreement for a $25.000
million secured line of credit. The acquisition of QDS in July 1998 for $17.000
million was financed primarily by borrowings under this agreement, and the
balance outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 1998 was $16.659
million.

         In January 1999, in connection with the acquisitions of Gainor Medical
and DMS, the Company entered into a $125.000 million, five-year secured credit
facility and the then-existing credit facility was terminated. The new credit
facility consists of an $80.000 million term loan facility and a $45.000 million
revolving credit facility. In January 1999, the Company borrowed $105.000
million under the facility, using $90.300 million for the purchases of Gainor
Medical and DMS and $14.700 million to repay existing debt. The facility is
collateralized by accounts receivable, inventories and certain assets of the
Company. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at the Company's option,
of (i) prime plus 1.25% to 2.25% or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 2.25% to 3.25%. The
facility requires a commitment fee payable quarterly, in arrears, of 0.375% to
0.500%, based upon the unused portion. Under this agreement, the Company is
required to maintain certain financial ratios and certain limitations are placed
on cash dividends. At December 31, 1999, the Company was in compliance with
these requirements. At December 31, 1999, $59.000 million of the term loan and
$27.000 million under the revolving credit facility was outstanding. Subsequent
to year-end, the Company further reduced the term loan to $50.000 million and
the revolving credit facility to $24.000 million.

         Also, in connection with the acquisitions of Gainor Medical and DMS,
the Company issued $45.000 million of redeemable preferred stock to the former
owners of Gainor Medical, consisting of $10 million of 4% convertible redeemable
preferred stock and $35.000 million of 8% redeemable preferred stock with
attached warrants to purchase four million shares of the Company's common stock.
See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of
the redemption provisions.

         The acquisition agreement for the Gainor Medical business provides for
an additional contingent purchase price of up to $35.000 million based upon 1999
financial performance of the Gainor Medical business. As of December 31, 1999,
the Company estimates that approximately $13.000 million of the additional
contingent purchase price will be earned and such amount is reflected as
additional goodwill and long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The
Company will complete its final purchase price adjustments and contingent
consideration calculations in the first quarter of 2000. The contingent purchase
price will be payable by the issuance of subordinated notes to the sellers in
2000. These notes will bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and principal
payments will be made in the amount of one-third of the original note amount on
the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the note.

         The acquisition agreement for the purchase of QDS provided for
additional cash payments of up to $6.000 million contingent upon 1999 revenues
of the Company's Cardiovascular segment. The 1999 revenue amounts required to
earn additional consideration were not achieved and no additional payments will
be made.

         In February 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
purchase of up to ten percent of the Company's outstanding common stock. In
1998, a total of 626,000 shares were purchased for $2.397 million. No purchases
were made in 1999.

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

         The Company believes that its financial condition is strong and that
its cash, other liquid assets, operating cash flows and borrowing capacities
under the existing credit facility, taken together, will provide adequate
resources to fund ongoing operating requirements, future capital expenditures
and development of new projects.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133, which (as amended through the
issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133) is effective for 2001, requires all
derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes
accounting treatment for certain hedge transactions. The Company is analyzing
the implementation requirements and currently does not anticipate there will be
a material impact on the results of operations or financial position after
adoption of SFAS 133.


YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and progress of its
plans to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company completed its
remediation and testing of systems for Year 2000 compliance. As a result of
those planning and implementation efforts, the Company experienced no
significant disruptions in mission critical information technology and
non-information technology systems and believes those systems successfully
responded to the Year 2000 date change. The Company is not aware of any material
problems resulting from the Year 2000 issues, either with its products, its
internal systems, products and services of third-party suppliers or
reimbursements by third-party payors. The Company will continue to monitor its
mission critical computer applications and those of its suppliers and payors
throughout 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 issues that may arise are
addressed promptly.

Company's disclosure obligations in filings it makes with the Commission under
federal securities laws.


ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in the market price
of its short-term investment, interest rates on long-term debt and foreign
exchange rates.

         The Company's short-term investment in a marketable equity security is
subject to risk of volatility in the market price of the security.

         The Company's primary interest rate risk relates to its variable rate
bank credit facility. At December 31, 1999, the Company's total variable rate
long-term debt obligation was $86.000 million. A hypothetical 10% change in the
interest rates applied to the December 31, 1999 balance of variable rate debt
obligations for a duration of one year would result in additional interest
expense of $779,000.

         The Company's non-U.S. operations with sales denominated in other than
U.S. dollars (primarily in Germany) generated approximately 10% of total
revenues in 1999. In the normal course of business, these operations are exposed
to fluctuations in currency values. Management does not consider the impact of
currency fluctuations to represent a significant risk, and as such, has chosen
not to hedge its foreign currency exposure. A 10% change in the dollar exchange
rate of the German Deutsche mark would impact net earnings by approximately
$150,000.

                                    PART III

ITEMS 10-13.

         The information contained under the heading "Management of the Company"
in the Company's definitive proxy materials for its 2000 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is
incorporated by reference herein. Additional information relating to the
executive officers of the Company is included as a Special Item in Part I of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         For purposes of determining the aggregate market value of the Company's
common stock held by non-affiliates as shown on the cover page of this report,
shares held by all directors and executive officers of the Company have been
excluded. The exclusion of such shares is not intended to, and shall not,
constitute a determination as to which persons may be "affiliates" of the
Company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the
"Act"), requires the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who
own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Matria Healthcare, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Matria
Healthcare, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, common shareholders' equity and
comprehensive earnings, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999. In connection with our audits of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement
schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Matria Healthcare,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

(1)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       (a)    BUSINESS

              Prior to 1998, Matria Healthcare, Inc. ("Matria" or the
              "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was primarily a nationwide
              provider of women's health services. During 1998, Matria
              established itself as a diversified provider of disease
              management. In July 1998, the Company acquired Quality Diagnostic
              Services, Inc. ("QDS") and entered the cardiovascular disease
              management market. In October 1998, the Company entered the
              respiratory disease management market by signing a licensing
              agreement with National Jewish Medical Research Center ("National
              Jewish") that gives Matria exclusive rights to market the
              comprehensive asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
              management programs developed by National Jewish. In 1998, the
              Company expanded its existing diabetes-in-pregnancy program to
              include the general diabetes population. In January 1999, the
              Company significantly expanded its offering of diabetes supplies
              and disease management services through the acquisitions of Gainor
              Medical Management, L.L.C. ("Gainor Medical") and Diabetes
              Management Systems, Inc. ("DMS"). See note 2 for a summary of
              recent acquisitions and note 15 for a description of the revenues,
              operating earnings, identifiable assets, depreciation and
              amortization and capital expenditures of the Company's reportable
              business segments.

       (b)    BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

              The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
              conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
              preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
              required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
              reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
              consolidated balance sheets, and revenues, other income and
              expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those
              estimates.

              The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
              Matria and all of its majority owned subsidiaries and
              partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and
              transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

       (c)    REVENUES AND ALLOWANCES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS

              Revenues for the Women's Health, Cardiovascular and Other segments
              are generated by providing services through patient service
              centers. Revenues from these segments are recognized as the
              related services are rendered and are net of contractual
              allowances and related discounts. The Diabetes Supplies and
              Services segment provides services through its patient service
              center, provides supplies to patients, and assembles, packages and
              distributes lancing products to original equipment manufacturers.
              Revenues for services are recognized when services are provided
              and revenues from product sales are recognized when product is
              shipped. Revenues from this segment are recorded net of
              contractual and other discounts. A significant portion of the
              Company's revenues is billed to third-party reimbursement sources.
              Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion
              of the Company's trade accounts receivable is susceptible to
              changes in third-party reimbursement policies.

              A provision for doubtful accounts is made for revenues estimated
              to be uncollectible and is adjusted periodically based upon the
              Company's evaluation of current industry conditions, historical
              collection experience, and other relevant factors which, in the
              opinion of management, deserve recognition in estimating the
              allowance for uncollectible accounts.


                                      F-7

       (d)    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

              Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to
              concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts
              receivable from third-party payors. The collectibility of accounts
              receivable from third-party payors is directly affected by
              conditions and changes in the insurance industry and governmental
              programs, which are taken into account by the Company in computing
              and evaluating its allowance for uncollectible accounts.

       (e)    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

              Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and interest-bearing
              deposits. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
              Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
              maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

       (f)    SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

              At December 31, 1999, short-term investments consist of the
              Company's holdings in marketable equity securities (see notes 2
              and 17). Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
              Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
              Equity Securities ("SFAS 115"), the Company classifies these
              short-term investments as available-for-sale securities which are
              carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses
              included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings in common
              shareholders' equity. Unrealized gains of $6,314 are included in
              common shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet at
              December 31, 1999.

              At December 31, 1998, short-term investments consisted of United
              States Government and municipal bonds. Under the provisions of
              SFAS 115, the Company classified these short-term investments as
              trading securities which were carried at fair value with any
              unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Unrealized gains
              of $51 were included in "other income" in the consolidated
              statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998.

       (g)    INVENTORIES

              Inventories, which consist primarily of disposable medical
              products, drugs and patient supplies, are stated at the lower of
              cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value).

       (h)    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

              Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
              depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided primarily
              on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
              assets ranging from three to ten years. Amortization of leasehold
              improvements and leased equipment is recorded over the shorter of
              the lives of the related assets or the lease terms.

       (i)    INTANGIBLE ASSETS

              A summary of intangible assets follows:

                                                  150,404        16,873
              Less accumulated amortization        11,052           612
                                                 --------      --------
                                                 $139,352        16,261
                                                 ========      ========
</TABLE>

              Intangible assets consist of goodwill and other intangible assets,
              primarily resulting from the Company's acquisitions (see note 2).
              Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over
              periods ranging from 5 to 15 years. At each balance sheet date,
              the Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill by determining
              whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its
              remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future
              operating cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount of
              goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based upon projected
              discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate
              reflecting the Company's average cost of funds (see note 3).

              Other intangible assets consist of customer lists, trade names,
              work force, purchased software, and covenants not to compete.
              These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
              periods ranging from 4 to 15 years.

       (j)    LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF

              The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable
              intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
              circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
              not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
              is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
              future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
              such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
              recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount
              of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets (see note 3).
              Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
              amount or fair value less costs to sell.

       (k)    STOCK OPTION PLANS

              Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock
              option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting
              Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
              Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such,
              compensation expense to be recognized over the related vesting
              period would generally be determined on the date of grant only if
              the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the
              exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement
              of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
              Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), which permits entities to
              recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all
              stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS 123
              also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB
              Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net earnings (loss) and pro
              forma earnings (loss) per share


                                      F-9
<PAGE>   39

              disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair
              value-based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The
              Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB
              Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures required by
              SFAS 123 (see note 8).

       (l)    INCOME TAXES

              The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability
              approach. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
              consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted
              statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences
              between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases
              of existing assets and liabilities and net operating loss and
              credit carryforwards. Additionally, the effect on deferred taxes
              of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period
              that includes the enactment date. Investment and research and
              experimental tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through
              method.

       (m)    NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

              Basic earnings (loss) per common share available to common
              shareholders are based on the weighted average number of common
              shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share
              available to common shareholders are based on the weighted average
              number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common
              shares, such as dilutive stock options and warrants, determined
              using the treasury stock method, and dilutive convertible
              preferred shares, determined using the if-converted method. In
              1998 and 1997, the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per
              share of common stock was antidilutive in each of the periods
              presented; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted
              earnings (loss) per share are the same.

       (n)    COMPREHENSIVE EARNINGS

              Comprehensive earnings generally includes all changes in equity
              during a period except those resulting from investments by owners
              and distributions to owners. Until 1999, the Company had no
              elements of comprehensive earnings other than net earnings (loss).
              For 1999, comprehensive earnings consists of net earnings, foreign
              currency translation adjustments and changes in unrealized
              appreciation on available-for-sale securities.

       (o)    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

              The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of
              business. The carrying values of cash equivalents, short-term
              investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued
              liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term
              maturities of these assets and liabilities. The Company estimates
              that the carrying amounts of the Company's long-term debt
              approximate the fair value based on the current rates offered to
              the Company for debt with the same remaining maturities.

       (p)    RECLASSIFICATIONS

              Certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 consolidated financial
              statements have been reclassified to conform to presentations
              adopted in 1999.

(2)    ACQUISITIONS

       Effective January 1, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the
       assets of Gainor Medical for an initial purchase price of approximately
       $134,000. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
       accounting and resulted in the recognition of intangible assets of
       $3,800, consisting of purchased U.S. patient lists and executive
       noncompete agreements (being amortized over five years), international
       patient lists (being amortized over 10 years), and goodwill of $106,044
       (being amortized over 15 years). Results of its operations have been
       included in the Company's consolidated results of operations effective
       January 1, 1999.

       In connection with the acquisition of the Gainor Medical business, the
       Company recognized a $25,015 deferred tax asset for the estimated tax
       benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards to be realized in the
       future as a result of the acquisition (see note 7).

       The acquisition agreement also provides for an additional contingent
       purchase price of up to $35,000 based on 1999 financial performance of
       the Gainor Medical businesses. As of December 31, 1999, the Company
       estimates that approximately $13,000 of the additional contingent
       purchase price will be earned and such amount is reflected in goodwill
       and long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company will
       complete its final purchase price adjustments and contingent
       consideration calculations in the first quarter of 2000. The contingent
       purchase price will be payable by the issuance of subordinated notes in
       2000. These notes will bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and
       principal payments will be made in the amount of one-third of the
       original note amount on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the
       note.

       At the closing of the transaction, the Company paid $83,758 of the
       purchase price in cash, assumed approximately $1,242 in debt and issued
       $45,000 in redeemable preferred stock and warrants of the Company (see
       note 9). The transaction also included a cash adjustment payable by the
       Company of approximately $6,573, one-half of which was paid at the
       closing and the remaining one-half of which was paid during the second
       quarter of 1999.

       The cash portion of the purchase price was financed partially through a
       $125,000 five-year bank credit facility, which the Company entered into
       in January 1999. The credit facility consists of an $80,000 term loan
       facility and a $45,000 revolving credit facility (see note 5).

       In January 1998, the Company converted a $250 note receivable from DMS
       and paid $500 cash to acquire a 10% equity interest in DMS. During 1998,
       the Company made advances to fund the working capital of DMS totaling
       $1,335 (reflected in notes receivable at December 31, 1998). In January
       1999, the Company converted the note receivable for these advances and
       paid cash of $6,500 to acquire the remaining equity interests of DMS. The
       acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
       resulted in the recognition of $10,765 of goodwill, which is being
       amortized over 15 years. Results of operations of this business have been
       included in the Company's consolidated results of operations effective
       January 1, 1999.

       On July 21, 1998, Matria purchased certain assets of QDS, a cardiac event
       monitoring company, a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
       Endeavor Technologies, Inc. (subsequently named WebMD, Inc.) for $17,000
       in cash. The acquisition agreement also provides for additional cash
       payments of up to $6,000 contingent upon 1999 revenues of the
       cardiovascular businesses. The 1999 revenue amounts required to earn
       additional consideration were not achieved and no additional payments
       will be made. The assets purchased include intellectual property,
       accounts receivable, and contract rights. The acquisition was accounted
       for in accordance with the purchase method of accounting with the results
       of operations of the business acquired included in the consolidated
       financial


                                      F-11
<PAGE>   41

       statements from the effective date of the acquisition, July 1, 1998. The
       acquisition resulted in expensed acquired in-process research and
       development of $2,482, intangible assets of $3,846, including noncompete
       agreements and workforce (being amortized over five years), customer
       lists and trade names (being amortized over 15 years), and goodwill of
       $8,254 (being amortized over 15 years). In connection with the
       acquisition, the Company made a $2,010 preferred stock investment in
       WebMD, Inc., which was reflected in other long-term assets at December
       31, 1998. In 1999, the Company made an additional $2,680 investment to
       exercise options and warrants to purchase additional shares of WebMD,
       Inc. At December 31, 1999, the Company's remaining investment in WebMD,
       Inc. is reflected in short-term investments. See note 17 for a summary of
       gains from sales of shares of WebMD, Inc.

       The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are
       presented as if the Gainor Medical, DMS and QDS acquisitions had been
       made at January 1, 1998:

(3)     ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

       In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a $74,496 asset
       impairment charge to write down goodwill and intangible assets relating
       to the 1996 merger ("Merger") of Tokos Medical Corporation (Delaware)
       ("Tokos") and Healthdyne, Inc. ("Healthdyne"). As part of its 1997
       Business Assessment Plan, the Company assessed the future of its preterm
       labor management business, and management expected revenue growth rates
       and earnings to improve in 1998 and future years. However, in 1998,
       revenues continued to decline due to negative market forces. In addition,
       in 1998, the Company revised its strategic plan to expand beyond
       maternity management. As a result, in the third quarter of 1998, the
       Company determined that Healthdyne's estimated future undiscounted cash
       flows were below the carrying value of its long-lived assets and related
       goodwill. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying value of
       Healthdyne's long-lived assets and goodwill to their estimated fair
       value. The estimated fair value was based on anticipated net cash flows
       discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. The operations
       of Tokos and Healthdyne are included in the Women's Health operating
       segment (see note 15).

       As a result of the inability of National Reproductive Medical Center,
       Inc. ("NRMC") to achieve improvements specified in the 1997 Business
       Assessment Plan, as well as continued operational issues, including the
       termination of the employment of the founding physician in July 1998,
       NRMC's net revenue declined approximately 17% in 1998, and an operating
       loss was incurred. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 1998, the
       Company determined that NRMC's estimated future cash flows were below the
       carrying value of its long-lived assets and related goodwill.
       Accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying value of NRMC's long-lived
       assets and goodwill, to their estimated fair value by recording an $8,389
       asset impairment charge. The estimated fair value was based on
       anticipated net cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the
       risk involved. The operations of NRMC are included in Other Segments (see
       note 15). See further discussion of the disposition of NRMC in note 16.

       In September 1997, the Company entered into a secured revolving line of
       credit with a commercial lender. Under the terms of this credit facility,
       the Company could borrow up to $25,000 based upon the value of eligible
       collateral as defined in the credit agreement. Borrowings under this
       agreement bore interest, at the Company's option, of (i) the reference
       rate of the Bank plus 0.5% or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 2.75% (8.25% at
       December 31, 1998). Borrowings outstanding under this agreement at
       December 31, 1998 totaled $16,659.

       The secured revolving line of credit agreement was terminated in January
       1999 in connection with the acquisitions of Gainor Medical and DMS (see
       note 2). The Company replaced that arrangement with a $125,000 five-year
       bank credit facility. The new facility consisted of an $80,000 term loan
       facility and a $45,000 revolving credit facility. The facility is
       collateralized by accounts receivable, inventories and certain assets of
       the Company. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at the
       Company's option, of (i) prime plus 1.25% to 2.25% or (ii) the LIBOR rate
       plus 2.25% to 3.25%. As of December 31, 1999, interest rates under this
       agreement ranged from 9.0000% to 9.1875%. The facility

       0.500%, based upon the unused portion. Under this agreement, the Company
       is required to maintain certain financial ratios and certain limitations
       are placed on cash dividends. At December 31, 1999, the Company was in
       compliance with these requirements.

       Approximate aggregate minimum annual payments due on long-term debt for
       the five years subsequent to December 31, 1999 are as follows:

(7)    INCOME TAXES

       The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable
       and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial
       statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in
       taxable or deductible amounts in the future and any increase or decrease
       in the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. The Company's
       income tax benefit for 1999 is $4,000, all of which is a deferred
       benefit. The Company had no income tax benefit or expense for 1998 or
       1997.

       At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had deferred tax assets of
       approximately $36,725 and $45,339, respectively, before valuation
       allowances. The valuation allowance is based on an assessment of the
       likelihood of whether the deferred tax asset will be realized. The
       decrease in the valuation allowance of $45,339 during 1999 was
       attributable to the following items: (1) current year benefit of $12,500
       resulting from utilization of net operating losses; (2) an increase in
       the deferred income taxes to include the state income tax benefits of
       $(3,886); (3) a reduction of $25,015 based upon an assessment of future
       operating earnings of the combined businesses in conjunction with the
       acquisition of Gainor Medical (see note 2); (4) a $7,710 credit to
       additional paid-in capital related to the operating loss carryforward
       generated by the exercise of stock options; and (5) a $4,000 credit to
       income tax benefit on the consolidated statement of operations as the
       Company believes it now more likely than not that it will realize the
       related deferred income tax assets.

       At December 31, 1999 and 1998, deferred income taxes consist of future
       tax benefits attributable to:

       net operating loss is limited to an annual utilization of approximately
       $17,000. The Company also has available alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
       credit carryforwards of approximately $1,392 available to offset regular
       income tax, if any, in future years. The AMT credit carryforwards do not

       STOCK OPTION PLANS

       Prior to the Merger, Tokos maintained a stock option plan for the benefit
       of key employees and directors under which options granted expired ten
       years from the date of grant. In connection with the Merger, the Company
       assumed options outstanding under the Tokos and Healthdyne option plans.
       Both Tokos' options and Healthdyne's options outstanding on the date of
       the Merger became fully vested. All other terms and conditions of the
       options remained the same as they were prior to the Merger. As of the
       date of the Merger, the Company adopted two stock option plans for the
       benefit of key employees and nonemployee directors. A total of 1,250,000
       shares of the Company's common stock have been authorized for issuance
       under these plans. Stock options granted under these plans are
       exercisable in equal amounts over three years and expire in ten years.

       During 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1997 Stock
       Option Plan for key employees, officers, independent contractors, and
       consultants of the Company. The 1997 Stock Option Plan has three
       components: a stock option component, a stock bonus/stock purchase
       component, and a Stock Appreciation Right component. A total of 1,800,000
       shares of the Company's common stock have been authorized for issuance
       under this Plan. The Stock Option Committee shall determine the term of
       each option granted under the Plan, provided, however, that the term does
       not exceed ten years. These options are exercisable based upon
       established performance goals, provided, however, that they are not
       exercisable in less than two years or more than four years and expire
       after ten years. In addition, during 1997, the Board of Directors of the
       Company granted nonplan options to purchase 479,150 shares of common
       stock to certain nonexecutive employees.

       The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS
       123 which require presentation of pro forma net earnings (loss) and pro
       forma earnings (loss) per share as if the Company had accounted for its
       employee stock options under the fair value method. For purposes of pro
       forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to
       expense over the vesting period. Under the fair value method, the
       Company's net earnings (loss) and basic earnings (loss) per share would
       have been as follows:

       Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to
       December 31, 1994, and the options generally have a three-year vesting
       period, the pro forma effect was not fully reflected until 1998.

       The weighted average fair value of the individual options granted during
       1999, 1998 and 1997 is estimated at $2.38, $2.48 and $3.22, respectively,
       on the date of grant. The fair values for those years were determined
       using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
       assumptions.

       EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

       The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase
       Plan") to encourage ownership of its common stock by employees. The
       Purchase Plan provides for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of the
       Company's common stock by eligible employees of the Company and its
       subsidiaries. Under the Purchase Plan, the Company may conduct an
       offering each fiscal quarter of its common stock to eligible employees.
       The participants in the Purchase Plan can elect to purchase common stock
       at the lower of 85% of the fair market value per share on either the
       first or last business day of the quarter, limited to a maximum of either
       10% of the employee's compensation or 1,000 shares of common stock per
       quarter. A participant immediately ceases to be a participant in the
       Purchase Plan upon termination of his or her employment for any reason.
       During 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, 193,877, 120,532 and 110,967
       shares of common stock were issued under the Purchase Plan. Compensation
       costs related to this plan determined under SFAS 123 were insignificant
       to the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the three
       years ended December 31, 1999.

       SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

       In connection with the Merger, Matria established a Shareholders' Rights
       Agreement. If a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or
       more of the Company's outstanding common stock or announces a tender
       offer or exchange that would result in the acquisition of a beneficial
       ownership of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, the
       rights detach from the common stock and are distributed to shareholders
       as separate securities. Each right entitles its holder to purchase one
       one-hundredth of a share (a unit) of common stock, at a purchase price of
       $61 per unit. The rights,


                                      F-19
<PAGE>   49

       which do not have voting power, expire on March 9, 2006 unless previously
       distributed and may be redeemed by the Company in whole at a price of
       $.01 per right any time before and within 10 days after their
       distribution. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
       combination transaction, or 50% of its assets or earnings power are sold
       at any time after the rights become exercisable, the rights entitle a
       holder to buy a number of common shares of the acquiring company having a
       market value of twice the exercise price of the right. If a person
       acquires 20% of the Company's common stock or if a 15% or larger holder
       merges with the Company and the common stock is not changed or exchanged
       in such merger, or engages in self-dealing transactions with the Company,
       each right not owned by such holder becomes exercisable for the number of
       common shares of the Company having a market value of twice the exercise
       price of the right.


(9)    REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

       In connection with the purchase of the Gainor Medical business (see note
       2), the Company designated 16,500 shares and issued 10,000 shares of 4%
       Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series A CRPS"), and
       designated 60,000 shares and issued 35,000 shares of 8% Series B
       redeemable preferred stock ("Series B RPS") with attached warrants to
       purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $3.00 per
       share.

       The Series A CRPS is convertible at any time into 2,222,222 shares of
       common stock. At its option, the Company may redeem the Series A CRPS, at
       any time beginning two years after the acquisition date, after the 30-day
       moving average of the closing price of the Company's stock has exceeded
       $5.40 per share, at a redemption price of $1,222 per share. The Series A
       CRPS has a mandatory redemption feature which requires the Company to
       redeem one-third of the shares issued on each of the eighth, ninth and
       tenth anniversary dates of the original issuance date at the redemption
       price of $1,000 per share. Redemption may occur at the holder's request,
       in the event there is a change of control of the Company, as defined in
       the applicable shareholder agreement. Dividends are payable quarterly, in
       arrears, in cash or additional shares of Series A CRPS, or a combination
       thereof, at the option of the Company. The Series A CRPS has been
       recorded at the mandatory redemption value.

       At its option, the Company may redeem the Series B RPS in whole or in
       part at any time at the redemption price of $1,000 per share. The Series
       B RPS has a mandatory redemption feature which requires the Company to
       redeem one-third of the shares issued on each of the eighth, ninth and
       tenth anniversary dates of the original issuance date, at the redemption
       price of $1,000 per share. At issuance date, the Company allocated $4,415
       of the $35,000 total redemption value of Series B RPS to the fair value
       of the warrants issued, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. This
       amount was recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital and is
       being accreted over the term of the Series B RPS.

       In the event of liquidation, holders of Series A CRPS and Series B RPS
       are entitled to receive, from the assets available for distribution to
       the shareholders, an amount in cash or property at fair market value,
       equal to $1,000 per share plus unpaid dividends. The Company is
       restricted from paying dividends on the Company's common stock until all
       unpaid dividends on the Series A CRPS and Series B RPS are paid.

(10)   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

       The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan for the benefit
       of its employees. The Company's obligation for contributions under the
       401(k) plan is limited to each participant's contribution but not more
       than 3% of the participant's compensation. Discretionary Company
       contributions are allowed under the plan. Contributions to the plan for
       the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $833,
       $814 and $607, respectively.

       During 1996, the Company established a nonqualified defined benefit
       pension plan for the benefit of a certain select group of senior
       management. The benefits are based on the employee's compensation during
       the three calendar years in which the individual's base salary is the
       highest and actual years of service. During 1997, the Company terminated
       this nonqualified defined benefit pension plan and allowed existing
       participants to either receive a lump-sum payment or roll over their
       investment into a split-dollar life insurance contract whereby the
       participants or their beneficiaries are entitled to the greater of the
       contract's cash surrender value or the contract's death benefit, less
       insurance premiums paid by the Company. The participants who chose the
       lump-sum payout were paid approximately $1,328 on January 2, 1998.

       During 1998, the Company entered into split-dollar life insurance
       contracts with additional members of senior management. These contracts
       operate in the same manner as the contracts entered into in 1997.

       On the earlier date that occurs of: (i) the date the employee reaches age
       65; (ii) the date of the employee's death; or (iii) the date of
       termination of the employee prior to the completion of ten years of
       service, the Company has the right to be repaid an amount, up to the
       amount of premiums paid, by which the cash surrender value of the policy
       exceeds the employee's vested life insurance plan benefit.

       During 1999 and 1998, the Company paid $2,754 and $2,640, respectively,
       in insurance premiums related to these split-dollar life insurance
       contracts. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, the cash
       surrender value of life insurance policies was $10,803 and $4,425 and the
       related liability was $8,030 and $4,705. There was no insurance premium
       expense in 1999 since the increase in cash surrender value of the life
       insurance policies was greater than the increase in the net present value
       of future benefit payments. Insurance premium expense was $521 in 1998.


(11)   RESTRUCTURING

       During the third quarter of 1999, the Company began an assessment of the
       cost structure of its Women's Health segment and decided that the number
       of its monitoring centers could be significantly reduced without
       compromising patient care or reducing services provided to patients,
       physicians or payors. These cost-savings initiatives continued into the
       fourth quarter of 1999 and resulted in total restructuring charges of
       $4,241 in 1999. Of these costs, $3,201 relates to future lease payments
       and other related costs of closed facilities, $668 relates to involuntary
       severance of employees and $372 relates to the write-down of capital
       equipment. Accrued restructuring expenses at December 31, 1999 were
       $3,369, including $2,000 reflected in other long-term liabilities.

       The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal
       actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
       management, based in part on the advice of counsel, the ultimate
       disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
       the Company's consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or
       liquidity.

       In March 1997, Adeza Biomedical Corporation ("Adeza") initiated
       litigation against the Company alleging that the Company breached the
       Exclusive Marketing Agreement, dated as of December 31, 1991, as amended
       (the "Agreement") between the Company and Adeza under which the Company
       was granted the exclusive marketing rights to Adeza's fetal fibronectin
       immunoassay test ("fFN"). On March 3, 1998, the Company settled its
       dispute with Adeza. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed
       to relinquish its rights under the Agreement and its equity interest in
       Adeza in exchange for a right to recoup a portion of its investment in
       Adeza and the product, based on future sales of fFN. The Company
       continued to distribute fFN during a transition period which ended on
       August 31, 1998.

(15)   BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

       The Company's reportable business segments are the strategic business
       units that offer different products and services. They are managed
       separately and the Company evaluates performance based on operating
       earnings of the respective business unit.

       As a result of the acquisitions in the last half of 1998 and the first
       quarter of 1999, the Company's operations have been classified into three
       reportable business segments: Women's Health, Diabetes Supplies and
       Services, and Cardiovascular. The Women's Health segment offers services
       designed to assist physicians and payors in the cost-effective management
       of maternity patients, including: specialized home nursing, risk
       assessment, patient education and management, home uterine contraction
       monitoring, infusion therapy, gestational diabetes management, and other
       monitoring and clinical services as prescribed by the patient's
       physician. The Diabetes Supplies and Services segment has two components,
       diabetes disease management services and microsampling products, which
       are products used to test small samples of bodily fluids. The
       Cardiovascular segment provides cardiac event monitoring, holter
       monitoring and pacemaker follow-up services. The Other Segments include
       three business units that are below the quantitative threshold for
       disclosure: respiratory disease management, infertility practice
       management services, and clinical records software and services.

       The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
       in the summary of significant accounting policies. There are no
       intersegment sales, and operating earnings (loss) by business segment
       excludes interest income, interest expense and corporate expenses.

(16)   DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

       In 1999, the Company determined that its infertility business, NRMC, no
       longer fit the Company's diversified disease management strategy. During
       the third and fourth quarters of 1999, the Company sold the assets of
       these clinics, with no gain or loss recognized on the sale of these
       assets. The Company realized cash proceeds of $1,257 from this
       disposition. The Company received notes from the buyers of NRMC totaling
       $1,079, which are reflected in current assets and other long-term assets
       at December 31, 1999. Liabilities for future patient refunds and other
       costs totaling $2,751 are reflected in accrued liabilities.


(17)   SALES OF SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

       In connection with the acquisition of QDS (see note 2), the Company
       invested $2,010 in 1998 in preferred stock of WebMD, Inc. and received
       options and warrants to purchase additional shares of WebMD, Inc. for
       $2,680, which were exercised in 1999. In November 1999, WebMD, Inc.
       merged with Healtheon Corporation into Healtheon/WebMD Corporation.
       Subsequent to the merger, the Company sold shares of Healtheon/WebMD
       Corporation generating proceeds of $20,720 and a gain of $17,349, which
       is reflected in "other income" in the consolidated statements of
       operations. At December 31, 1999, the Company has a remaining investment
       in Healtheon/WebMD of 219,816 shares.

                      SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

       THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of the 19th day of
January, 2000 (this "Amendment"), is made among MATRIA HEALTHCARE, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the Lenders (as defined in the Credit
Agreement referred to below), and FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, as administrative
agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent").

                                    RECITALS

       A.  The Borrower, certain banks and other financial institutions, the
Administrative Agent, and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Co-Agent, are
parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of January 19, 1999 (as amended, the
"Credit Agreement"), providing for the availability of certain credit facilities
to the Borrower upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. Capitalized
terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in
the Credit Agreement.

       B.  The Borrower and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit
Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

                             STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

       1.  Defined Terms. The definition of "Required Lenders" in Section 1.1 of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows
(provided that for purposes of Section 8 of this Amendment, the term "Required
Lenders" shall mean all of the Lenders):

       "'Required Lenders' shall mean the Lenders holding outstanding Loans,
       Letter of Credit Exposure, participations in outstanding Swingline Loans
       and Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments (or, after the termination of
       the Revolving Credit Commitments, outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit
       Exposure and participations in outstanding Swingline Loans) representing
       greater than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the aggregate
       at such time of all outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit Exposure,
       participations in outstanding Swingline Loans and Unutilized Revolving
       Credit Commitments (or, after the termination of the Revolving Credit
       Commitments, the aggregate at such time of all outstanding Loans, Letter
       of Credit Exposure and participations in outstanding Swingline Loans);
       provided that if at any time any one Lender would otherwise constitute
       the "Required Lenders" as provided hereinabove, then "Required Lenders"
       shall mean such Lender together with any one other Lender. For purposes
       of any determination of the "Required Lenders," the aggregate

<PAGE>   2
     outstanding Swingline Loans held by the Swingline Lender shall be
     calculated net of participations therein purchased by the other Lenders
     pursuant to the terms hereof."

     2.      Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and
warrants as follows:

     (a)     Each of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit
Agreement and in the other Credit Documents will be true and correct on and as
of the Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) and after giving effect
to this Amendment with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except
to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have
been made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty
is true and correct as of such date).

     (b)     On and as of the Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect
to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be
continuing.

     3.      Effect of Amendment.  From and after the effective date of the
amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth herein, all references to the
Credit Agreement set forth in any other Credit Document or other agreement or
instrument shall, unless otherwise specifically provided, be references to the
Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and as may be further amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time. This Amendment is limited
as specified and shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement except as
expressly set forth herein. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Credit
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

     4.      Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia (without regard
to the conflicts of law provisions thereof).

     5.      Severability.  To the extent any provision of this Amendment is
prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity and only in any such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or
invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining
provisions of this Amendment in any jurisdiction.

     6.      Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon,
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.

     7.      Construction.  The headings of the various sections and subsections
of this Amendment have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any
way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

     8.      Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This
Amendment shall become effective on the date (the "Amendment

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
Effective Date'') upon which the Administrative Agent shall have received an

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties thereto have caused this Amendment to be
executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.
