STATEMENTS (INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO DECEMBER
31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - THE COMPANY
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lexington
Healthcare Group, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Balz Medical
Services, Inc. ("BALZ"), Professional Relief Nurses, Inc. ("PRN" ), LEV Rehab
Services, Inc. ("LEV"), and Lexington Highgreen Holding, Inc. (collectively, the
"Company"), as well as the accounts of the following joint ventures controlled
by the Company: LexiCore Rehab Services, LLC and Lexicon Pharmacy Services, LLC.
All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company is a long-term and subacute care provider which operates six nursing
home facilities at December 31, 1997 with 853 beds licensed by the State of
Connecticut. BALZ provides medical supplies and durable medical equipment to
nursing homes ; PRN provides health care services in the homes of its patients.
Lexicore and Lexicon provide rehab and pharmacy services respectively to
patients in the Company's and other nursing homes.
NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial information included herein is unaudited and presented on a
condensed basis; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows for the interim periods presented although the results shown for the
interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The condensed balance sheet data as of
June 30, 1997 is derived from audited financial statements; certain line items
have been combined or condensed in their presentation herein.
Inventories consisting of food, chemicals and supplies are valued at the lower
of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
In 1996 the Company was operated as an LLC and accordingly no income taxes were
due at that time. However, income taxes are payable after the reorganization of
entities under common control discussed below. On a pro forma basis had income
taxes been due in 1996, income before income taxes, income taxes, net income,
and net income per common share would have been as follows:

AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
NOTE C - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS
Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. was incorporated in 1996. It completed an
initial public offering of its common stock in May 1997 during which 1,125,000
shares of common stock at $5 per share and 1,940,625 common stock warrants at
$.10 per warrant were issued resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $4.1
million. Upon completion of such offering, the Company became the successor to
Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, a limited liability company ("LLC"). The
business combination was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under
common control, in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, using LLC's
historical cost basis.
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for
the period prior to the reorganization reflect the accounts and operations of
LLC and adjustment has been made to give effect to the reorganization resulting
in the restatement of certain stockholders' equity accounts.
The Company acquired in May 1997, simultaneously with the closing of the public
offering, all of the common stock of BALZ and PRN. On the basis of a pro forma
consolidation of the results of operations as if these acquisitions had taken
place at the beginning of fiscal year 1997, consolidated total revenues would
have been $20.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996.
On October 14, 1997 the Company loaned $757,000 to its Chief Executive Officer
and principal stockholder in order for him to pay personal income taxes due as a
result of the reorganization of entities under common control (i.e., the
Company's IPO). There was no cash compensation paid to him as part of the
reorganization. The borrowing was evidenced by a 9% interest earning note
receivable on which payments were made on December 26 ($157,000) and December 31
($300,000) to reduce the note to $300,000, which remained outstanding as of
December 31, 1997. Interest on the note (amounting to $14,500) was paid in full
through December 31, 1997. Subsequently, an additional $150,000 was repaid on
February 3, 1998 leaving a balance of $150,000.
NURSING HOME ACQUISITIONS
On July 1, 1997 Lexington Highgreen Holding, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc.) purchased substantially all of the assets of
two skilled nursing facilities in Connecticut, Greenwood Health Center and
Highland Acres Extend-a-Care Center from Beverly Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly").
Before the sale of the two nursing facilities, Beverly had operated 315 licensed
beds at these two facilities. The Company is operating 225 beds and has returned
the license on 40 beds to the State of Connecticut.

(INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND FOR THE
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
NOTE C - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
The entire transaction was financed by a $6.8 million mortgage. Beverly has
agreed to pay a $2.5 million operating subsidy to the Company over five years,
bringing the net cost of the transaction to the Company to $4.3 million. In
November 1997, the Company sold the remaining license on 50 beds to an unrelated
party for $1,550,000 in cash which resulted in a gain of $280,000 ($.04 per
common share).
On the basis of a pro forma consolidation of the results of operations as if the
acquisitions had taken place on July 1, 1996, consolidated net revenues would
have been $24,087,000 for six months ended December 31, 1996. Consolidated pro
forma net loss would have been $(1,013,000) in the six months ended December 31,
1996 and pro forma net loss per share would have been $(.39). Such pro forma
amounts reflect the operating results produced by Beverly and are not
necessarily indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations
might have been had the acquisitions been effective on July 1, 1996.
NEW BUSINESSES
On October 15, 1997 Lexicore Rehab Services, LLC began operations as a 50% owned
joint venture with Core Rehab Management, LLC. The joint venture is controlled
by the Company and the results of its operations from inception are included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements with appropriate recognition of
minority interest.
On December 1, 1997 Lexicon Pharmacy Services, LLC began operations as a 70%
owned joint venture with Pharmacy Corporation of America. The joint venture is
controlled by the Company and the results of its operations from inception are
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements with appropriate
recognition of minority interest.
NOTE D - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS; EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
128, "Earnings per Share". The objective of SFAS No. 128 is to simplify the
standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) and make them comparable to
international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS. SFAS No. 128 was effective for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application was not
permitted. Implementation of SFAS No. 128 did not have any impact on the
Company's calculation of EPS.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
In May 1997, the Company reorganized its capital structure and completed an
initial public stock offering (the "Offering") which raised net proceeds of
approximately $4.1 million. In connection with the Offering, the Company
acquired two healthcare businesses - a medical supplies company and a home
health agency.
During the six months ended December 1997, the Company expanded its nursing home
operations by adding two additional facilities, which were acquired on July 1,
1997. Also, in October and December 1997, the Company started two joint venture
companies with other healthcare providers to provide rehabilitation and pharmacy
services.
On January 20, 1998 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent
to acquire Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a 128-bed skilled nursing
facility located in Braintree, Massachusetts from an unrelated party, Quality
Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc., a subsidiary of PHC, Inc. (dba Pioneer
Healthcare). The acquisition of this facility expands the Company's operations
into Massachusetts, a target growth area.
The Company believes that the demand for long-term care and specialty medical
services will increase substantially over the next decade due primarily to
favorable demographic trends, advances in medical technology and emphasis on
healthcare cost containment. At the same time, government restrictions and high
construction and start-up costs are expected to limit the supply of long-term
care facilities. In addition, the Company anticipates that recent trends toward
industry consolidation will continue and will provide future acquisition
opportunities.
The Company's operating strategy is to increase Facility profitability levels,
through aggressive marketing and by offering rehabilitation therapies and other
specialized services; adhering to strict cost standards at the Facility level
while providing effective patient care and containing corporate overhead
expenses; and becoming a fully integrated health network whereby the Company
will market medical products and supplies, rehabilitative services,
institutional pharmaceutical services and nursing services to affiliated and
non-affiliated nursing homes and hospitals, as well as patients at home.
By concentrating its facilities and ancillary service operations within a
selected geographic region, the Company's strategy is to achieve operating
efficiencies through economies of scale, reduced corporate overhead, more
effective management supervision and financial controls. In addition, the
Company believes that geographic concentration also enhances the Company's
ability to establish more effective relationships with referral sources and
regulatory authorities in the states where the Company operates. The Company's
strategy is to gradually expand services into additional states including
Massachusetts and New Jersey.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ("1997 PERIOD") VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1996 ("1996 PERIOD")
For the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Company had total revenues of
$14,538,000 and total expenses of $14,263,000. For the three months ended
December 31, 1996, the Company had total revenues of $8,828,000 and total
expenses of $8,559,000. The Company had net income of $210,000 or $.05 per share
for the three months ended December 31, 1997, after providing for income taxes
of $65,000. The Company had net income of $269,000 or $.10 per share for the
three months ended December 31, 1996, but no income taxes were due for the 1996
period since the Company was operated as an LLC at that time. On a pro forma
basis, had income taxes been provided in 1996 at a rate of 36%, net income would
have been $173,000 ($.07 per common share).
For the three months ended December 31, 1997, expenses consisted of salaries and
benefits of $10,478,000, food, medical and other supplies of $1,089,000, other
operating expenses (including rent of $669,000) of $1,936,000, corporate,
general and administrative expenses of $507,000 and interest expense of
$253,000.
Revenues in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $5,710,000 or 65%,
largely as a result of the acquisitions during May 1997 and July 1997. Of the
total increase, $5,463,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $247,000 was from increased rates, mix changes and
higher occupancy (2% increase) in the existing nursing facilities. A gain of
$280,000 was recorded on the sale of the bed license in November 1997 which has
been included in other revenue.
The Company collected $102,000 in excess of the net carrying value of accounts
receivable purchased from Beverly in connection with the Greenwood and Highland
acquisitions. Since the Company has collected more than originally recorded for
these purchased accounts receivable such amount has been included in other
revenue.
Operating expenses in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by
$5,704,000 or 67%, largely as a result of the acquisitions noted above. Of the
total cost increase, $5,053,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $651,000 was from increased existing-facility and
corporate, general and administrative costs. The increase in existing nursing
home costs was attributable to higher salaries and benefits including additional
nursing, dietary, and housekeeping staffing (as a result of higher occupancy and
wage increases), higher therapy costs and occupancy-driven higher operating
expenses. Interest expense increased by $209,000 mostly as a result of the new
mortgage on the facilities acquired in July.
Income taxes were provided in the 1997 period on pre-tax income of $275,000; the
combined federal and state effective tax rate was 24%. No income taxes were
provided in the 1996 period since the Company was operated as an LLC at that
time.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ("1997 PERIOD") VS.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 ("1996 PERIOD")
For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company had total revenues of
$28,469,000 and total expenses of $27,710,000. For the six months ended December
31, 1996, the Company had total revenues of $17,447,000 and total expenses of
$17,215,000. The Company had net income of $489,000 or $.12 per share for the
six months ended December 31, 1997, after providing for income taxes of
$270,000. The Company had net income of $232,000 or $.09 per share for the six
months ended December 31, 1996, but no income taxes were due for the 1996 period
since the Company was operated as an LLC at that time. On a pro forma basis, had
income taxes been provided in 1996 at a rate of 41%, net income would have been
$136,000 ($.05 per common share)
For the six months ended December 31, 1997, expenses consisted of salaries and
benefits of $20,639,000, food, medical and other supplies of $2,247,000, other
operating expenses (including rent of $1,304,000) of $3,381,000, corporate,
general and administrative expenses of $1,010,000 and interest expense of
$433,000.
Revenues in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $11,022,000 or
63%, largely as a result of the acquisitions during May 1997 and July 1997. Of
the total increase, $10,100,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $922,000 was from increased rates, mix changes and
higher occupancy (3% increase) in the existing nursing facilities. A gain of
$280,000 was recorded on the sale of the bed license in November, 1997 which has
been included in other revenue.
The Company collected $102,000 in excess of the net carrying value of accounts

Operating expenses in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by
$10,495,000 or 61%, largely as a result of the acquisitions noted above. Of the
total cost increase, $9,356,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $1,139,000 was from increased existing-facility and
corporate, general and administrative costs. The increase in existing nursing
home costs was attributable to higher salaries and benefits including additional
nursing, dietary, and housekeeping staffing (as a result of higher occupancy and
wage increases), higher therapy costs and occupancy-driven higher operating
expenses. Interest expense increased by $363,000 mostly as a result of the new
mortgage on the facilities acquired in July.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income taxes were provided in the 1997 period on pre-tax income of $759,000; the
combined federal and state effective tax rate was 36%. No income taxes were
provided in the 1996 period since the Company was operated as an LLC at that
time.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its formation in 1995, the Company has primarily financed its operations
through operating revenues, borrowings from the prior operator of the Facilities
and other private lenders (including stockholders), by financing its accounts
receivable, through a public offering of its common stock which raised net
proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and through the sale of a portion of
certain bed licenses acquired in 1997.
In July 1997, the Company borrowed $6.8 million in connection with the
acquisition of land, buildings, bed licenses and operating assets of the two
nursing homes acquired. Interest is payable at 10% over the 20 year term of the
mortgage. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company also obtained an
operating subsidy of $2.5 million to be received over five years. As discussed
above, some of the bed licenses acquired were sold for $1,550,000 in November
1997.
In August 1997, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (at
prime plus .50%) from a bank, which is secured by its accounts receivable and
other assets. In November, 1997 this line of credit was utilized with a
borrowing of $1,000,000 for working capital purposes. This borrowing was repaid
later in November 1997 after the sale of bed licenses noted above. The full
$2,000,000 line of credit was available at December 31, 1997.
On October 14, 1997 the Company loaned $757,000 to its Chief Executive Officer
and principal stockholder in order for him to pay personal income taxes due as a
result of the reorganization of entities under common control (i.e., the
Company's IPO). There was no cash compensation paid to him as part of the
reorganization. The borrowing was evidenced by a 9% interest earning note
receivable on which payments were made on December 26 ($157,000) and December 31
($300,000) to reduce the note to $300,000, which remained outstanding as of
December 31, 1997. Interest on the note (amounting to $14,500) was paid in full
through December 31, 1997. Subsequently, an additional $150,000 was repaid on
February 3, 1998 leaving a balance of $150,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company expended
approximately $87,000 in capital improvements at its leased Facilities. Any
capital improvements made to the Facilities belong to the landlord. However, any
amounts expended for capital improvements are generally recouped in their
entirety through the reimbursement system. During the six months ended December
31, 1997 the Company expended $160,000 for capital improvements at its owned
facilities, which amount was funded by the mortgagor under the terms of the
mortgage.
The Company has recorded $272,000 of investments in joint ventures (of which
$48,000 was paid through December 31, 1997) which began operations in 1997 and
became profitable in 1997; positive cash flow is expected in 1998. The Company's
profitable ancillary businesses grew by approximately 30% from 1996 to 1997.
At December 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,736,000,
receivables of $9,249,000, inventories of $468,000, prepaid expenses and other
current assets of $477,000, and a note receivable from its principal stockholder
of $300,000. Accounts receivable increased by $2,430,000 since June 30, 1997 due
mostly to the nursing homes acquired in July and generally higher rates in
effect.
Working capital at December 31, 1997 was $3,317,000 as compared with working
capital of $287,000 at June 30, 1997. The principal reasons for the increase are
profitable operations in the first half of the year, the bed licenses sold, and
the operating subsidy receivable obtained in connection with the nursing home
acquisitions. Current liabilities at December 31, 1997 consist principally of
trade accounts payable, estimated third-party payor settlements due Medicare and
Medicaid, current portion of notes and capital leases payable, accrued payroll
and related taxes, income taxes, and other accrued expenses.
