Part 1
Item I. Business
Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Balz
Medical Services, Inc.("BALZ"), Professional Relief Nurses, Inc.("PRN"),
Lexington Highgreen Holding, Inc., and Lexicore Rehab Services, L.L.C.
(collectively, the "Company"). The Company also controls one joint venture,
Lexicon Pharmacy Services, L.L.C .
The Company is a long-term and subacute care provider, which operates or manages
ten nursing home facilities (the "Facilities") at June 30, 1999 with a total of
1,302 licensed beds in the State of Connecticut. The Facilities provide a broad
range of healthcare services, including nursing care, subacute care (including
rehabilitation therapy), and other specialized services (such as care to
Alzheimer's patients). The Company's strategy in healthcare is to integrate the
main disciplines of nursing, pharmacy, social services and other therapies under
one program.
In addition, the Company managed one nursing home, Oak Island Skilled Nursing
Center in Massachusetts, pursuant to a management agreement; this is a
non-affiliated facility. This management arrangement was terminated by mutual
agreement on July 31, 1999.
The Facilities service two basic patient populations: the traditional geriatric
patient population and the population of subacute care patients with higher
acuity disorders who require more complex and intensive medical services.
Subacute care patients generally require more rehabilitative therapy and are
residents for a shorter period of time than traditional geriatric patients. An
important part of the Company's strategy is to achieve high occupancy and a
favorable payor mix by offering specialty medical services. The Facilities have
an occupancy rate of approximately 91% as of August 31, 1999. The Company
operates a dedicated subacute unit within two of the Facilities, in addition to
providing subacute services in each of the other Facilities.
The long term care industry has experienced many changes in the year ended June
30, 1999 including the implementation of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 ("BBA")
which resulted in a new Medicare Prospective Payment System (known as PPS).
Under PPS, Medicare revenues are substantially less than those earned under the
former cost-based reimbursement system.
The BBA and PPS significantly changed the revenues available to nursing homes
and other health care providers; Medicare revenues in the Company's existing
nursing homes decreased by $2.2 million during the year ended June 30, 1999,
with PPS causing approximately $1.6 million of that shortfall.
In Connecticut, multiple long term care entities are undergoing financial
reorganization in 1999 due to reduced occupancy and PPS-related revenue
reductions and increasing cost pressures (including union costs), and have
experienced considerable losses in the market value of their own securities.
The Company believes its continued emphasis on cost controls, selected favorable
acquisitions, and development of ancillary businesses remains the most
appropriate strategy. Further, the Company is encouraged by recent reports of
bipartisan legislation introduced to restore the deep cuts resulting from the
1997 Balanced Budget Act.
3
<PAGE>
The Company continues to believe 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 and home care agencies. In addition, the
Company anticipates that recent trends toward industry consolidation will
continue and will provide future acquisition opportunities.
The Company completed an initial public offering of its shares (the "Offering")
in May 1997 during which 1,125,000 shares of common stock and 1,940,625 common
stock purchase warrants were issued, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$4.1 million. Upon completion of the Offering the Company became the successor
to Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, a limited liability company ("LLC"), and
the members of LLC exchanged their membership interests in LLC for shares of the
Company's Common Stock representing a combined 59.7% ownership of the Company.
In May 1997 the Company acquired all of the capital stock of BALZ Medical
Services, Inc. ("BALZ") and also of Professional Relief Nurses, Inc. ("PRN")
from the shareholders of BALZ and PRN simultaneously with the closing of the
Offering.
BALZ provides a variety of medical supplies, nutritional supplements,
institutional cleaning products, linens and everyday products including
toothpaste and incontinence products, to affiliated and, increasingly, to
non-affiliated nursing homes, other institutional facilities and private
persons. The Company's strategy is to further expand BALZ's business to become
more of a traditional medical supply company by supplying products to hospitals,
doctor's offices and persons at their homes through PRN.
PRN provides skilled nursing services to persons at home. PRN's personnel
include (i) registered nurses, who provide a broad range of nursing care
services, including skilled observation and assessment and intravenous therapy;
(ii) licensed practical nurses who perform, under the supervision of a
registered nurse, technical nursing procedures; (iii) physical and
rehabilitation therapists and (iv) certified nurses aides, who, under the
supervision of a nurse, provide health-related services and personal care. PRN
has also continued to operate as a nursing pool agency whereby it supplies
nurses and other skilled personnel to hospitals, affiliated and non-affiliated
nursing homes and other home healthcare agencies on a temporary basis.
On July 1, 1997, Lexington Highgreen Holding, Inc. purchased substantially all
of the assets of two skilled nursing facilities, Greenwood Health Center and
Highland Acres Extend-a-Care Center from Beverly Enterprises, Inc. (`Beverly").
All real estate, property, fixed and substantially all operating assets of the
nursing homes were acquired for a purchase price of approximately $6.8 million
which was financed by a mortgage on the real estate from Nationwide Health
Properties, Inc., the previous lessor to Beverly.
The Company has continued to develop its fully-integrated health network
including marketing 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. As part
of that strategy, the Company formed joint venture companies as follows:
4
<PAGE>
On October 15, 1997 Lexicore Rehab Services, L.L.C. began operations as a
50% owned joint venture with Core Rehab Management, L.L.C. The joint
venture was 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. As of
January 1, 1999, the Company acquired the remaining 50% membership
interest for a nominal amount plus $120,000 of residual payments based on
the occurrence of certain future events. Henceforth the Company accounted
for Lexicore's operations as a wholly-owned subsidiary; minority interest
and liabilities were adjusted accordingly. Lexicore is presently serving
the Company's nursing homes and PRN with further expansion plans underway
in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
On December 1, 1997 Lexicon Pharmacy Services, L.L.C. 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. Lexicon is
presently serving the Company's nursing homes and six unaffiliated nursing
homes.
On November 1, 1998 the Company began providing management services for four
skilled nursing facilities in Connecticut under an interim Management Agreement
with SunBridge Healthcare Corporation (SunBridge), a New Mexico corporation and
nation-wide healthcare provider. As consideration for the services provided
under this Management Agreement, the Company is entitled to retain the excess of
any revenues earned in the delivery of patient services over the expenses
incurred during the term and will be responsible for any excess of expenses
incurred over revenues earned in the operation of the facilities during the
term. In addition, under the terms of the agreement SunBridge also retained
responsibility for all building lease costs.
Effective September 1, 1999, the Company acquired the operations of two of those
managed facilities from SunBridge by leasing the facilities with an option to
buy in the next 24 months. The facilities acquired are Adams House and Heritage
Heights, located in Torrington and Danbury, CT; they have a total of 240 skilled
nursing beds. Management contracts covering the two other SunBridge facilities
with a total of 239 skilled nursing beds were terminated as of August 31, 1999
and the operations of those facilities were returned to SunBridge.
In August, 1997, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (at
prime plus .50%) from a bank, which was secured by its accounts receivable and
other assets; this line of credit was utilized from time to time to provide
working capital until it was replaced.
In December 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit financing agreement
with a healthcare lender for up to $4.5 million (at prime plus 2%), which is
secured by its accounts receivable and certain other assets. As of June 30,
1999, $3,631,000 was borrowed under this agreement to finance working capital
needs.
As of September 1, 1999 the Company had approximately 1,300 full and part-time
employees, of which approximately 58% were covered by collective bargaining
agreements.
Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. was incorporated on February 23, 1996. Prior to
its initial public offering, the Company had operated as Lexington Health Care
Group, LLC, a limited liability company that was formed on March 8, 1995 and
commenced operations on July 1, 1995. The Company's principal offices are
located at 1577 New Britain Avenue, Farmington, Connecticut 06032 and its
telephone number is (860) 674-2700.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The former President and Administrator of Professional Relief Nurses, Inc.
(PRN), the Company's home care subsidiary, initiated a lawsuit against Lexington
Healthcare Group, Inc., PRN, and Jack Friedler, the Company's Chairman and CEO,
in connection with her termination in July 1998. In September 1999 the Company
reached a settlement in principle to avoid the expenses of protracted
litigation. The Company has recorded a provision for lawsuit settlement of
$539,000 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30,
1999. The Company had previously posted a cash bond of $350,000 and paid certain
other expenses; the remaining balance due was recorded at present value of
$69,000 and will be paid over time.
The Company had previously disclosed the existence of lawsuits initiated by
Sundance Rehabilitation Corporation in July 1998 against three of its nursing
homes for payment of invoices for therapy services rendered. During the year
ended June 30, 1999, the amounts due ($625,000) were paid and the lawsuits were
withdrawn.
The Company is involved in other legal proceedings and is subject to certain
lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of its business. Although the
ultimate effect of these matters is often difficult to predict, management
believes that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto.
Overview
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company again expanded its
nursing home operations with the management of four additional facilities,
acquired the remaining 50% interest in its therapy joint venture company,
terminated the operation of another start-up joint venture company whose
operations had not reached meaningful proportions, and undertook an interim
management contract to manage an additional three skilled nursing facilities
located in Connecticut.
In the previous fiscal year, the Company had expanded its nursing home
operations with two additional facilities, formed and began operating three
healthcare joint venture companies, and initiated plans to acquire five
additional nursing homes.
In the 1997 fiscal year, the Company had 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 businesses in the healthcare field, BALZ and PRN.
The long term care industry has experienced many changes in the year ended June
30, 1999 including the implementation of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 ("BBA")
which resulted in a new Medicare Prospective Payment System (known as PPS).
Under PPS, Medicare revenues are substantially less than those earned under the
former cost-based reimbursement system.
The BBA and PPS significantly changed the revenues available to nursing homes
and other health care providers; Medicare revenues in the Company's existing
nursing homes decreased by $2.2 million during the year ended June 30, 1999,
with PPS causing approximately $1.6 million of that shortfall.
In Connecticut, multiple long term care entities are undergoing financial
reorganization in 1999 due to reduced occupancy and PPS-related revenue
reductions and increasing cost pressures (including union costs), and have
experienced considerable losses in the market value of their own securities.
The Company believes its continued emphasis on cost controls, selected favorable
acquisitions, and development of ancillary businesses remains the most
appropriate strategy. Further, the Company is encouraged by recent reports of
bipartisan legislation introduced to restore the deep cuts resulting from the
1997 Balanced Budget Act.
The Company continues to believe 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 and home care agencies. In addition, the
Company anticipates that recent trends toward industry consolidation will
continue and will provide future acquisition opportunities.
10
<PAGE>
The Company's operating strategy is to increase nursing home profitability
levels, through aggressive marketing and by offering rehabilitation therapies
and other specialized services; adhere to strict cost standards at the Facility
level while providing effective patient care and containing corporate overhead
expenses; and become a fully integrated health network whereby the Company will
increase marketing of 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.
Year 2000
The Company is continuing work on resolving the potential impact of the year
2000 on the ability of its computerized information systems to accurately
process information that may be date-sensitive. Any of the Company's programs
that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000
could result in errors or system failures.
The Company utilizes a number of computer programs across its entire operation,
however it primarily uses licensed software products, with a significant portion
of processes and transactions centralized in only a few third-party vendor
packages. Certain of those packages were acquired in recent years and are Year
2000 compliant. Management has made plans to complete the conversion of
remaining programs before the end of the calendar year.
The Company currently believes that costs of addressing this issue will not have
a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position. However, if the
Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to address this issue
in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial risk to the Company.
In order to assure that this does not occur, the Company plans to devote all
resources required to resolve any significant Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner.
Results of Operations
Year ended June 30, 1999 ("1999 period") vs. year ended June 30, 1998 ("1998
period")
The 1999 period includes the operating results of the six nursing facilities
operated by the Company, the operations of the four nursing homes managed by the
Company since November 1, 1998, and the operations of its subsidiaries (BALZ,
PRN and Lexicore Rehab Services) and pharmacy joint venture company for a full
year.
The 1998 period includes the operating results of the six nursing facilities and
of the acquired subsidiaries, BALZ and PRN, for a full year and of the newly
formed joint ventures since inception, but only for part of the year.
11
<PAGE>
For the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company had total revenues of $76,892,000
and total operating expenses of $77,725,000. These expenses consisted of
salaries and benefits of $57,109,000, food, medical and other supplies of
$7,778,000, other operating expenses (including rent of $2,983,000) of
$8,845,000, corporate, general and administrative expenses of $2,953,000, and
interest expense of $1,040,000. The Company had a net loss before income taxes,
other expense and minority interest of $833,000 and net loss of $1,577,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1999.
Revenues in the 1999 period increased over the 1998 period by $18,640,000 or
32%, largely as a result of the addition of the four managed facilities and
growth in the subsidiaries and joint venture companies. Of the total change, an
increase of $20,404,000 pertained to the new nursing home management contract
and growth in the healthcare businesses acquired previously, but in the existing
nursing facilities there was a net decrease of $1,764,000 due to a 3.3% overall
decrease in occupancy, Medicare settlement adjustments, and mix changes. In 1999
private pay occupancy increased approximately 4.6% over 1998, while in the same
period Medicaid and Medicare occupancy decreased 3.4% and 8.0%, respectively.
Revenue received under cost reimbursement agreements is subject to audit and
retroactive adjustment by third-party payors. Provisions for estimated
adjustments are reflected in patient service revenue. Differences between
estimated adjustments and final settlements are recorded in the year of
settlement. The Company has recorded reductions in patient service revenue of
$443,000 and $699,000 during the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, in connection with adjustments of previously recorded estimated
settlements.

========= =========
Operating expenses in the 1999 period increased over the 1998 period by
$19,477,000 or 33%, largely as a result of the addition of the four managed
facilities and growth in the subsidiaries and joint venture companies. Of the
total cost increase, $17,202,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $2,027,000, net was from decreased existing-facility
costs, offset by increases in subsidiary and joint venture and corporate,
general and administrative costs. Interest expense increased by $248,000 mostly
as a result of additional borrowings on the 1997 mortgage for improvements to
the facilities acquired in July 1997 and additional line of credit borrowings.
Other expense of $539,000 was recorded in connection with a provision for
lawsuit settlement.
Income taxes of $15,000 were provided in the 1999 period on loss before income
taxes and minority interest of $1,372,000. Such provision is due to state taxes
on income reported by certain subsidiaries which are taxed separately from other
entities in the consolidated group.

Results of Operations
Year ended June 30, 1998 ("1998 period") vs. year ended June 30, 1997 ("1997

The 1998 period includes the operating results of six nursing facilities and of
the acquired subsidiaries, BALZ and PRN, for a full year and of the newly formed
joint ventures since inception, but only for part of the year. The 1997 period
results include the results of operations of four nursing facilities and of the
acquired subsidiaries, BALZ and PRN, since their acquisition on May 15, 1997.
For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company had total revenues of $58,252,000
and total operating expenses of $58,248,000. These expenses consisted of
salaries and benefits of $42,823,000, food, medical and other supplies of
$4,077,000, other operating expenses (including rent of $2,623,000) of
$8,685,000, corporate, general and administrative expenses of $1,871,000, and
interest expense of $792,000. Other income of $280,000 was recorded on the sale
of the bed license in November 1997. The Company had income before income taxes
and minority interest of $284,000 and net income of $30,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1998.
Revenues in the 1998 period increased over the 1997 period by $22,352,000 or
62%, largely as a result of the acquisitions during May 1997 and July 1997. Of
the total change, an increase of $22,491,000 pertained to the nursing homes and
healthcare businesses acquired, but in the existing nursing facilities there was
a net decrease of $139,000 due to Medicaid and Medicare rate and settlement
adjustments and mix changes. In 1998 private pay and Medicaid occupancy
increased approximately 1% each over 1997, while in the same period Medicare
occupancy decreased approximately 2%. Overall, occupancy in those facilities
remained essentially unchanged.
Revenue received under cost reimbursement agreements is subject to audit and
retroactive adjustment by third-party payors. Provisions for estimated
adjustments are reflected in patient service revenue. Differences between
estimated adjustments and final settlements are recorded in the year of
settlement. The Company has recorded reductions in patient service revenue of
$699,000 and $45,000 during the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, in connection with adjustments of previously recorded estimated
settlements. As shown below, prior year Medicaid interim rates were audited and
settled in 1998 resulting in revenue reductions of $584,000; net Medicare
reductions of $115,000 were also recorded as a result of Medicare's desk reviews
and amended cost reports:
Impact of rate settlements
--------------------------
Rate Year Medicaid Medicare
--------- -------- --------
1996 $(273,000) $(115,000)
1997 (311,000) --
The Company collected $102,000 in excess of the net carrying value of accounts
receivable purchased 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 1998 period increased over the 1997 period by
$22,007,000 or 61%, largely as a result of the acquisitions noted above. Of the
total cost increase, $21,168,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $225,000 was from increased existing-facility and
corporate, general and administrative costs. Interest expense increased by
$614,000 mostly as a result of the new mortgage on the facilities acquired in
July 1997.

<PAGE>
Income taxes were provided in the 1998 period on income before income taxes and
minority interest of $284,000; the combined federal and state effective tax rate
was 11%. A benefit from income taxes was provided in the 1997 period since the
Company reported a loss for that period.
Results of Operations
Year ended June 30, 1997 ("1997 period") vs. year ended June 30, 1996 ("1996
period")
The 1997 period results include the nursing facility operations for a full year.
The Company has recorded a reduction in patient service revenue of $45,000
during the year ended June 30, 1997 in connection with estimated Medicare and
Medicaid settlements.. The results of operations of the acquired subsidiaries,
BALZ and PRN, are included in operations since acquisition on May 15.
For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company had total revenues of $35,900,000
and total expenses of $36,241,000. These expenses consisted of salaries and
benefits of $26,979,000, food, medical and other supplies of $2,689,000, other
operating expenses (including rent of $2,497,000) of $5,113,000, corporate,
general and administrative expenses of $1,282,000 and interest expense of
$178,000. The Company had a net loss of $275,000 for the year ended June 30,
1997.
Revenues in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $2,259,000 or
6.7%; $1,301,000 of this increase was a result of increased rates, mix changes
and higher occupancy in the nursing facilities (net of $45,000 in revenue
adjustments as a result of expected Medicare and Medicaid settlements), $699,000
is due to additional revenues from subsidiaries acquired, and $259,000 as a
result of other revenue increases, principally third-party management fees.
Expenses in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $3,061,000 or 9.2
%. $2,464,000 of this increase was a result of increased costs in the nursing
facilities and $597,000 is due to additional costs from subsidiaries acquired.
The major increase in nursing home costs were for higher salaries and benefits
including additional nursing, dietary, and housekeeping staffing (as a result of
higher occupancy and union and non-union wage increases of approximately 4%),
higher therapy costs and occupancy-driven higher operating expenses in
housekeeping, laundry, and nursing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has primarily financed its operations through operating revenues,
borrowings from banks, the prior operator of certain of the Facilities and other
private lenders including stockholders, by financing its accounts receivable,
through a public offering of its common stock (the "Offering") which raised net
proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and through the sale of bed licenses for
$1.5 million. The net proceeds of the Offering were used to pay off remaining
balances of previous borrowings, to fund the acquisition of PRN and, after
providing for other business development plans, were added to the working
capital of the Company. The net proceeds from the sale of the bed licenses were
added to working capital.

<PAGE>
Between October 1995 and July 1996, the Company borrowed an aggregate of
$286,000 from Jack Friedler and Harry Dermer. $104,000 of such loan was repaid
to Mr. Friedler in August 1996. In May 1997 Mr. Friedler loaned $100,000 to the
Company in connection with the reacquisition of shares from a private placement
investor. Mr. Friedler's balance of $266,000 was then offset against loans due
from Lexington House in May 1997. Mr. Friedler also instructed the Company to
offset interest due him from the Company of $10,000 each during May and June
1997 against the Lexington House loan (which is discussed below). The Company
paid Mr. Dermer $16,000 in July 1997 to liquidate his loan.
In July 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to manage the day-to-day
business affairs of Lexington House, Inc., a nursing home with 67 licensed beds;
Lexington House was owned by Jack Friedler and his wife. The Company made
certain expenditures on behalf of Lexington House in anticipation that it would
acquire Lexington House. Subsequently, the negotiations for the sale were
terminated because the Company determined that such facility required too many
capital improvements. As of June 30, 1997, Lexington House, Inc. was indebted to
the Company in the amount of $290,000.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, Lexington House, Inc. was charged $23,000
for management fees and costs, interest of $26,000 accumulated, and an
additional $286,000 was advanced; $30,000 was repaid; the balance due at June
30, 1998 was $595,000. In July 1998 an additional $50,000 was advanced. The
total, with accumulated unpaid interest, amounted to $649,000 as of July 31,
1998. During September 1998, the balance of $649,000 was formalized into an 8%
interest bearing promissory note from Jack Friedler with $15,000 monthly
installments and a balloon payment of the remaining balance due May 31, 1999. As
security for the note, Mr. Friedler pledged the right to receive a $15,000
monthly payment and also pledged 600,000 of his shares of the common stock of
the Company.
Monthly payments totaling $120,000 were made through June 30, 1999. However, on
May 6, 1999 Mr. Friedler suffered a heart attack, had by-pass surgery, and began
a recovery period. The balloon payment was not made at May 31, but monthly
payments were made in May and June 1999. In July, Mr. Friedler stated he would
be unable to make the balloon payment and the Company, pursuant to Board of
Director's approval, defaulted the note and seized the collateral of 600,000
shares in satisfaction of the note and interest due. The shares were cancelled
by the transfer agent.
The 600,000 shares had a market bid price of $731,000 at the time of their
surrender; the note and accumulated interest had a carrying value of $574,000.
The Company's Board of Directors considers the difference of $157,000 between
the market price and the carrying value of the note receivable to be a
reasonable and fair discount for the shares received.
Based on the above, the Company has presented the balance of the note receivable
and interest as a reduction of stockholder's equity in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999. This resulted in the reduction
of working capital and stockholders equity of $574,000 as shown in that balance
sheet.
During the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company expended
approximately $451,000, $112,000, and $290,000, respectively, in capital
improvements to the leased facilities. Any capital improvements made to these
facilities belong to the landlord. However, any amounts expended for capital
improvements are generally recouped in their entirety through the reimbursement
system. During the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 the Company expended
$353,000 and $231,000, respectively, for capital improvements at its owned
facilities which was funded by the mortgagor under the terms of the mortgage.

<PAGE>
In July 1997, the Company borrowed $6.8 million in connection with the
acquisition of land, buildings, bed licenses and operating assets of two nursing
homes. Interest is payable at 10% over the 25 year term of the mortgage. In
connection with the acquisitions, the Company also obtained from the former
owner an operating subsidy of $2.5 million which was reduced by the Company's
$1.3 million purchase of accounts receivable; the net balance is to be received
over five years. As noted above, some of the bed licenses acquired were sold for
$1.5 million.
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), December 31
($300,000), February ($150,000), and May 5, 1998 ($150,000); the note was thus
repaid in full. Interest on the note of $20,000 was paid through December 31,
1997 and later on May 5, 1998.
The Company has recorded $303,000 of investments in joint ventures (of which
$48,000 was paid through June 30, 1999) which began operations and became
profitable in fiscal 1998; positive cash flow resulted in fiscal 1999.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,675,000,
receivables of $16,092,000, inventories of $1,058,000 and prepaid expenses and
other current assets of $1,031,000. Receivables increased by $5,047,000 since
June 30, 1998 due mostly to the nursing homes acquired under management contract
(in which the Company purchased existing accounts receivable at November 1,
1998) and generally higher rates in effect.
Working capital at June 30, 1999 was $955,000 as compared with working capital
of $3,074,000 at June 30, 1998. The principal reasons for the decrease are the
unprofitable operations in the owned nursing homes, the provision for lawsuit
settlement, and the default on the related party note receivable balloon payment
which are offset by the profitable operations in the subsidiaries and joint
venture. Current liabilities at June 30, 1999 consist principally of trade
accounts payable, amounts due to SunBridge for purchased accounts receivable,
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 (including the balance due for lawsuit
settlement).
In August 1997, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (at
prime plus .50%) from a bank, which was secured by its accounts receivable and
other assets; borrowings under the line were also personally guaranteed by the
Company's Chairman and President. The line of credit was utilized from time to
time until December 1998 at which time a new line of credit was implemented.
In December 1998, the Company entered into a financing agreement with a
healthcare lender for up to $4.5 million, which is secured by its accounts
receivable and certain other assets. As of June 30, 1999, $3,631,000 was
borrowed under this agreement. The Company has increased its utilization of this
line of credit to finance working capital needs as a result of growing
operations, accounts receivable increases, payback of Medicare and Medicaid
settlements, costs of the lawsuit settlement and operating losses in the owned
nursing homes.
Inflation has not had, nor is it expected to have, a material impact on the
operations and financial condition of the Company.

consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,

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 Lexington Healthcare
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
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" ), Lexington
Highgreen Holding, Inc. and Lexicore Rehab Services, L.L.C. (Lexicore)
(collectively, the "Company") as well as the accounts of a joint venture
controlled by the Company, Lexicon Pharmacy Services, L.L.C. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As of January 1, 1999, the Company acquired the remaining 50% membership
interest of Lexicore for a nominal amount plus $120,000 of residual payments
which are payable based on the occurrence of certain future events. The
acquisition of Lexicore has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
purchased and liabilities assumed based on their fair value on the date of
acquisition. The Company has not recorded any goodwill in connection with this
purchase. Henceforth, the Company has accounted for Lexicore as a wholly-owned
subsidiary and minority interest has been adjusted accordingly.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a long-term and subacute care provider, which operates six and
manages an additional four nursing home facilities at June 30, 1999 with a total
of 1,302 beds licensed by the State of Connecticut. The Company also provides
medical supplies and durable medical equipment to nursing homes, provides
physical, occupational and speech therapy and other services to qualified health
care facilities, and provides health care services in the homes of its patients.
JOINT VENTURE
The Company has a 70% interest in Lexicon Pharmacy Services, L.L.C. ("Lexicon"),
a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed on October 31, 1997 to
provide institutional pharmacy services to qualified health care facilities and
the patients residing therein. The limited liability company agreement provides
for Lexicon to continue until November 1, 2002, with earlier termination
possible in the event of exercise by a member of an option to terminate or the
occurrence of certain other events specified in the agreement. The agreement
also stipulates that members are not personally liable for any debts or losses
of Lexicon beyond their respective capital contribution and that no member shall
be permitted or required to make any additional capital contributions, except as
specifically provided in the agreement.

JOINT VENTURE (Continued)
For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of this
joint venture have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. The other member's interest in the joint venture has been recorded
as minority interest.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
Revenues are recognized at the time the service is provided to the patient. A
substantial amount of the Company's revenues are billed to third party payors,
i.e., Medicaid, Medicare and others under the provisions of reimbursement
formulas and regulations in effect.
Patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from
residents, third-party payors, and others for services rendered. Revenue
received under cost reimbursement agreements is subject to audit and retroactive
adjustment by third-party payors. Provisions for estimated adjustments have been
reflected in patient service revenue. Differences between estimated adjustments
and final settlements are recorded in the year of settlement.
MANAGEMENT FEES
As consideration for services provided under an interim management agreement
with SunBridge Healthcare Corporation (see Note B), the Company is entitled to
retain the excess of any revenues earned in the delivery of patient services
over the expenses incurred during the term and will be responsible for any
excess of expenses incurred over revenues earned in the operation of the
facilities during the term. Such revenues have been classified as management fee
revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The Company recognizes other management fees as they are earned and accrues
related fees payable to subcontractors as they are incurred.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
defines cash equivalents as highly liquid instruments with an original maturity
of three months or less. The Company had cash equivalents of $1,172,000 at June
30, 1999 and $141,000 at June 30, 1998, consisting of overnight investments.
INVENTORIES
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.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation
is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining
period of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the
improvement, whichever is shorter.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renovations are charged to operations as
incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the
related assets are capitalized.
RESIDENTS' FUNDS
Residents' funds represent cash balances which have been deposited into a
separate bank account and are restricted for the use of the residents.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", which requires a company to review the
carrying value of long-lived assets and certain intangibles for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
asset may not be recoverable. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No.
121 will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which establishes a
fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar
equity instrument. SFAS No. 123 gives entities a choice of recognizing related
compensation expense by adopting the new fair value method or to continue to
measure compensation using the intrinsic value approach under Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, the former standard. If the former
standard for measurement is elected, SFAS No. 123 requires supplemental
disclosure to show the effects of using the new measurement criteria. The
Company intends to continue using the measurement prescribed by APB Opinion No.
25 and accordingly, this pronouncement will not affect the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
EARNINGS PER COMMON 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 and
fully-diluted EPS with a presentation of basic and diluted EPS. All prior period
EPS data presented has been restated to conform with the provisions of this
statement. Dilutive earnings per share has not been presented as the potentially
dilutive stock options are anti-dilutive.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income,
its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to
include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners
and distributions to owners. The Company has no material components of other
comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, the Company's comprehensive income
(loss) is the same as its net income (loss) for all years presented.
SEGMENT REPORTING
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way public companies
report financial and descriptive information about their operating segments. The
Company provides health care services and many other closely related ancillary
services to its patients and residents. All of these services fall within one
reportable segment as defined in SFAS No. 131.
NOTE B - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS
REORGANIZATION AND PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING
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 this offering, the Company became the successor to
Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, a limited liability company ("LLC"), and the
members of LLC exchanged their membership interests in LLC for 2,462,000 shares
of the Company's common stock representing a combined 59.7% ownership of the
Company. LLC was formed on March 8, 1995 and commenced operations on July 1,
1995. 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 consolidated financial
statements for periods 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.

NOTE B - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS (Continued)
ACQUISITIONS - BALZ AND PRN
The Company acquired in May 1997, simultaneously with the closing of the public
offering, all of the common stock of BALZ and PRN. Prior to acquisition, the
members of LLC owned 44% and 25% of BALZ and PRN, respectively.
The Company acquired all of the common stock of BALZ in exchange for 300,000
shares of common stock of the Company which were valued at $1,500,000 based on
the price of the public offering.
The purchase price of PRN consisted of $1,620,000 payable in cash and the
exchange of 108,000 shares of common stock of the Company which were valued at
$540,000 based on the price of the public offering. Furthermore, prior to the
acquisition, PRN distributed 100% of its net book value to its former
stockholders; this book value was approximately $392,000. Certain adjustments
have been made during the year ended June 30, 1998 to record $76,000 of
additional liabilities assumed as a direct result of the purchase.
The acquisitions of BALZ and PRN have been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to
the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at
date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired was $3,371,000 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The amount of goodwill
amortization was $168,000, $170,000 and $20,000 for the years ended June 30,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The purchase price was allocated as follows:
BALZ PRN

Working capital, other than cash $516,000 $268,000
Property and equipment 80,000 71,000

ACQUISITIONS - GREENWOOD AND HIGHLAND NURSING HOMES
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, Greenwood Health Center and Highland Acres
Extend-a-Care Center from Beverly Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly"). These
facilities are located in Hartford and Winsted, CT and at the time of purchase
had 240 and 75 licensed beds, respectively.
The Company is presently operating 225 beds, has returned the license on 40 beds
to the State of Connecticut and, in November 1997, sold the remaining license on
50 beds to an unrelated party for $1,550,000 in cash resulting in a gain of
$280,000 which is reflected as other income in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
All real estate, property, fixed and operating assets of the nursing homes were
acquired (with the exception of certain proprietary computer hardware and
systems) for a purchase price of approximately $6.8 million which was financed
by a mortgage on the real estate from Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., the
previous lessor to Beverly. 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.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased
based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company has not
recorded any goodwill in connection with this purchase but has allocated
$1,742,000 of the purchase price to bed licenses, which is being amortized over
15 years. The amount of bed license amortization was $116,000 in each of the
years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
The operating results of these acquired nursing homes have been included in the
consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. On the basis
of a pro forma consolidation of the results of operations as if the acquisition
of these nursing homes had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 1997
(based on a representative period of time, a one-year period ending June 30,
1997 for the Company and the available one-year period ending December 31, 1996
for the nursing homes acquired), consolidated net revenues would have been $50.2
million for fiscal 1997.

ACQUISITIONS - GREENWOOD AND HIGHLAND NURSING HOMES (Continued)
Consolidated pro forma net loss would have been $(189,000) for fiscal 1997 and
pro forma loss per share would have been $(.07) for fiscal 1997. Such pro forma
amounts reflect the operating results produced by Beverly, as adjusted to
reflect the purchased costs of assets acquired and the elimination of
liabilities which were not assumed, as well as to reflect known changes being
made in the operations of these nursing homes, i.e., increased revenues from
rate and census increases and decreases in costs as a result of wage rate and
benefit reductions negotiated, along with other changes reflective of reduced
bed operations. However, the resulting pro forma amounts are not necessarily
indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations might have been
had the acquisitions been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1997.
MANAGEMENT OF SUN HOMES AND SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION OF ADAMS AND HERITAGE
On November 1, 1998 the Company began providing management services for four
skilled nursing facilities in Connecticut under an interim Management Agreement
with SunBridge Healthcare Corporation ("SunBridge"), a New Mexico corporation
and nation-wide healthcare provider.
As consideration for the services provided under this Management Agreement, the
Company is entitled to retain the excess of any revenues earned in the delivery
of patient services over the expenses incurred during the term and will be
responsible for any excess of expenses incurred over revenues earned in the
operation of the facilities during the term. Under the terms of the agreement
SunBridge retained responsibility for all building lease costs. In addition, the
Company purchased substantially all of SunBridge's accounts receivable for these
facilities. As of June 30, 1999, the balance owed is presented as "Due to
SunBridge - purchased receivables" in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.
As a result of this agreement, the Company earned management fees of $17,394,000
and incurred costs and expenses of $17,004,000 during the year ended June 30,
1999.
Subsequent to the end of its fiscal year, the Company finalized agreements to
acquire the operations of two of the managed facilities, Adams House and
Heritage Heights, effective September 1, 1999. Initially the buildings will be
leased with an option to purchase. These facilities are located in Torrington
and Danbury, CT and have a total of 240 skilled nursing beds.
Management contracts covering the two other SunBridge facilities with a total of
239 skilled nursing beds were terminated as of August 31, 1999 and the
operations of those facilities were returned to SunBridge.

NOTE C - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, residents' funds, accounts
receivable, note receivable-related party, security deposits-related parties,
and operating subsidy receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents and residents' funds
The Company places its cash deposits with high credit-quality institutions and
such deposits exceeded federal depository insurance limits by approximately
$3,066,000 at June 30, 1999. However, the Company has not experienced any losses
in this area and management believes its cash deposits are not subject to
significant credit risk.
Accounts receivable
The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, all of whom are
residents of local communities in the State of Connecticut in which the
Company's facilities are located, and most of whom are insured under third-party
payor agreements. Management provides ongoing credit evaluations of its
residents and has provided for potential credit losses through direct write-offs
and such write-offs have been within management's expectations. Industry
experience indicates that, after such direct write-offs have been made,
potential credit losses are considered minimal, therefore only a negligible
allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary by management.
The mix of receivables from patients, third-party payors and others as of June
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:
1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----
Medicare and Medicaid 68% 71% 80%
Private insurance and other nongovernment agencies 26 25 10
Other 6 4 10
--- --- ---
100% 100% 100%
==== ==== ====
Note receivable-related party
This amount is controlled by an officer and director of the Company and is
collateralized. Subsequent to year end, the Company seized the collateral as
settlement of the obligations (see Note F).

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK (Continued)
Operating subsidy receivable
This amount is due from Beverly, a provider of health care services throughout
the United States, in connection with the Company's purchase of the assets of
two nursing homes (see Note B). The receivable is unsecured, but Beverly has
made all required payments in a timely manner, and management believes it is not
subject to significant credit risk.
Security deposits - related parties
This amount is controlled by entities related to the Company by common ownership
(see Note I); accordingly, management believes it represents negligible credit
risk.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial
instruments for which the determination of fair value is practicable. SFAS No.
107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their
fair values as outlined below:
Cash and cash equivalents, residents' funds, accounts receivable and
accounts and accrued expenses payable:
The carrying amounts approximate their fair values because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
Notes payable and obligations under capital leases:
The carrying amounts approximate fair value because the interest rates on
the notes or leases approximate the Company's current borrowing rate.
Management has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value
of the note receivable - related party, security deposits - related parties, and
operating subsidy receivable due to the lack of marketability of these financial
instruments.
The Company's financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.

settlements:

Payable $939,000 1,686,000
Such amounts represent management's best estimates of the amounts expected to be

negotiations, interpretation of applicable regulations and other assumptions. It
is reasonably possible that the amounts the Company will ultimately realize or
be obligated to pay could differ materially in the near term.

NOTE F - NOTE RECEIVABLE--RELATED PARTY
At June 30, 1997, the Company had a $290,000 note receivable due from an entity
in which an officer and director of the Company has a controlling ownership
interest. During the year ended June 30, 1998, $23,000 was charged for
management fees and costs, interest of $26,000 accumulated, an additional
$286,000 was advanced and $30,000 was repaid; the balance due at June 30, 1998
was $595,000. In July 1998 an additional $50,000 was advanced and interest of
$4,000 accumulated, making the balance due $649,000 at July 31, 1998.
During September 1998, the $649,000 balance was converted into an 8%
interest-bearing promissory note due from the officer requiring monthly
installments of $15,000 and a balloon payment of the remaining balance due May
31, 1999. As security for the note, the officer pledged 600,000 of his shares of
the Company's common stock. Based on the above, the note receivable was
classified as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 1998.
Monthly payments totaling $120,000 were made during the year ended June 30,
1999, however, the balloon payment was not made at May 31, 1999. In July, the
officer stated he would be unable to make the balloon payment and the Company,
pursuant to Board of Director's approval, defaulted the note and seized the
collateral of 600,000 shares in satisfaction of the note and interest due.
The 600,000 shares had a market bid price of $731,000 at the time of their
surrender and the note and accumulated interest had a carrying value of
$574,000. The Company's Board of Directors considers the difference between the
market price and carrying value of the note receivable of $157,000 to be a
reasonable and fair discount for the shares received.
Based on the above, the Company has presented the balance of the note receivable
as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1999.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has reserved 450,000 shares of its common stock for issuance
pursuant to stock options which may be granted pursuant to the Company's 1997
Stock Option Plan. The Plan provides for grants to employees, consultants and
directors of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board has
the authority to determine the individuals to whom the stock options are to be
granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, the exercise price,
the type of option, the option period, the restrictions, if any, on the exercise
of the option, the terms for the payment of the option price and other terms and
conditions.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued options to purchase
302,000 shares of its common stock to directors and employees at exercise prices
ranging from $2.625 to $3.062 based on the market value at date of grant. The
Board of Directors re-priced these outstanding options in November 1998 at $.87
based on the current market value. Such options vest at a rate of one-third per
year and are fully vested on the fourth anniversary of their issuance. The
options expire December 16, 2003 and March 17, 2004 depending on their date of
issuance.
During the year ended June 30, 1999 33,000 options were cancelled when the
employees to whom they were issued terminated their employment. Through June 30,
1999 no options have been exercised.
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". In accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting
for its stock option plans and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation
cost at the grant date.
If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair
value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net
income and income per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant with the
following assumptions:
Expected dividend yield 0%
Expected volatility 41%
Risk-free interest rate 9%
Expected life of options 72 months

NOTE M - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
LABOR CONCENTRATION/PENSION CONTRIBUTION
As of June 30, 1999, approximately 63% of the Company's employees were covered
by ten separate collective bargaining agreements with New England Health Care
Employees Union, District 1199/SEIU, AFL-CIO ("Union") two of which expire in
November, 2000 (representing 14% of the Company's employees) and another eight
of which expire on March 15, 2001.
These employees participate in Union pension plans to which the Company
contributes an amount stipulated in each collective bargaining agreement. For
the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, contributions were approximately
$1,458,000, 842,000 and $572,000, respectively.

LABOR CONCENTRATION/PENSION CONTRIBUTION (Continued)
During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company implemented a new
defined-contribution pension plan for non-union employees to which the Company
will contribute 4% of employee compensation annually; investments in the plan
will be directed by the participants. In connection therewith the Company has
recorded pension expense of $236,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999.
PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
Approximately 85%, 82% and 86% of net patient service revenue was derived under
federal and state third-party reimbursement programs in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. These revenues are based, in part, on cost reimbursement
principles and are subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by the respective
third-party fiscal intermediaries. The general trend in the nursing home
industry is lower private pay utilization due to liberal asset transfer rules
and the degree of financial planning that takes place by the general public. The
Company's ability to maintain the current level of private pay utilization and
thereby reduce reliance on third-party reimbursement is uncertain due to the
economic and regulatory environment in which all Connecticut nursing homes
operate.
Effective for the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company began receiving its
nursing home Medicare reimbursement under a new per diem system known as the
prospective payment system. This new system entirely changes the way the Company
is paid for Medicare Part A services. The Company's success under this
acuity-based system is largely dependent on managing patient utilization of
clinical resources. The Company's ability to maintain its current level of
Medicare reimbursement is uncertain.
MALPRACTICE INSURANCE
The Company maintains malpractice insurance coverage on an occurrence basis. It
is the intention of the Company to maintain such coverage on an occurrence basis
in ensuing years. As of June 30, 1999, no known malpractice claims have been
asserted against the Company which, either individually or in the aggregate, are
in excess of insurance coverage.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has employment agreements with three of its executive officers which
became effective upon consummation of the public offering. The agreements
provide that such individuals shall devote substantially all of their working
time and attention to the business of the Company and contain certain
non-compete provisions. The agreements have an initial term of five years and
are automatically renewable for successive one-year periods unless either the
Company or the employee elects not to renew his or her employment.
The CEO's agreement provides for a $250,000 annual salary, with cost of living
increases and a bonus equal to 1% of the Company's net income before taxes. The
President's employment agreement is identical except that the salary is $175,000
annually.
The agreement with the president of BALZ provides for a base annual salary of
$100,000, subject to five percent annual increases, plus a bonus of 3.75% of
BALZ's net profits before taxes.
YEAR 2000
The Company is continuing work on resolving the potential impact of the year
2000 on the ability of its computerized information systems to accurately
process information that may be date-sensitive. Any of the Company's programs
that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000
could result in errors or system failures.
The Company utilizes a number of computer programs across its entire operation,
however it primarily uses licensed software products, with a significant portion
of processes and transactions centralized in only a few third party vendor
packages. Certain of those packages were acquired in recent years and are Year
2000 compliant. Management has made plans to complete the conversion of
remaining programs before the end of the calendar year.
The Company currently believes that costs of addressing this issue will not have
a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position. However, if the
Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to address this issue
in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial risk to the Company.
In order to assure that this does not occur, the Company plans to devote all
resources required to resolve any significant Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner.

The Company has employment agreements with each of Jack Friedler, Harry Dermer,
and Mary Archambault. The agreements provide that such individuals shall devote
substantially all of their working time and attention to the business of the
Company and contain certain non-compete provisions.
Each of the agreements have an initial term of five years and are automatically
renewable for successive one-year periods unless either the Company or the
employee elects not to renew his or her employment.
The CEO's agreement provides for a $250,000 annual salary, with cost of living
increases and a bonus equal to 1% of the Company's net income before taxes. The
President's employment agreement is identical except that the salary is $175,000
annually. The agreement with the president of BALZ provides for a base annual
salary of $100,000, subject to five percent annual increases, plus a bonus of
3.75% of BALZ's net profits before taxes.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued options to purchase
180,000 shares of its common stock to the above-noted officers at exercise
prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.062 based on the market value at date of grant.
The Board of Directors re-priced all outstanding options to all grantees in
November 1998 at $.87 per share based on the current market value at that date.
Such options vest at a rate of one-third per year and are fully vested on the
fourth anniversary of their issuance. The options expire December 16, 2003.
The former President and Administrator of Professional Relief Nurses, Inc.
(PRN), the Company's home care subsidiary, initiated a lawsuit against Lexington
Healthcare Group, Inc., PRN, and Jack Friedler, the Company's Chairman and CEO,
in connection with her termination in July 1998. In September 1999 the Company
agreed in principle to settle this suit to avoid the expenses of protracted
litigation. See Item 3 for further information.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In July 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to manage the day-to-day
business affairs of Lexington House, Inc., a nursing home with 67 licensed beds.
Lexington House was owned by Jack Friedler and his wife. As of June 30, 1997,
Lexington House, Inc. was indebted to the Company in the amount of $290,000.
Lexington House had agreed to a payment schedule of $10,000 per month.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, $23,000 was charged for management fees and
costs, interest of $26,000 accumulated, and an additional $286,000 was advanced;
$30,000 was repaid; the balance due at June 30, 1998 was $595,000. In July 1998
an additional $50,000 was advanced and interest of $4,000 accumulated, making
the balance due $649,000 at July 31, 1998.
During September 1998, the $649,000 balance was converted into an 8%
interest-bearing promissory note due from Mr. Friedler with $15,000 monthly
installments and a balloon payment of the remaining balance due May 31, 1999. As
security for the note, Mr. Friedler has pledged the right to receive a $15,000
monthly payment and also pledged 600,000 of his shares of the common stock of
the Company.
Monthly payments totaling $120,000 were made through June 30, 1999. However, on
May 6, 1999 Mr. Friedler suffered a heart attack, had by-pass surgery, and began
a recovery period. The balloon payment was not made at May 31, but monthly
payments were made in May and June 1999. In July, Mr. Friedler stated he would
be unable to make the balloon payment and the Company, pursuant to Board of
Director's approval, defaulted the note and seized the collateral of 600,000
shares in satisfaction of the note and interest due. The shares were cancelled
by the transfer agent.
The 600,000 shares had a market bid price of $731,000 at the time of their
surrender; the note and accumulated interest had a carrying value of $574,000.
The Company's Board of Directors considers the difference of $157,000 between
the market price and the carrying value of the note receivable to be a
reasonable and fair discount for the shares received.
Based on the above, the Company has presented the balance of the note receivable
and interest as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999. This resulted in a reduction of
working capital and stockholders' equity of $574,000 as shown in that balance
sheet.
In 1998 Lexicore Rehab Services, a Company controlled joint venture, provided
$90,000 of services to a nursing home owned by Jack Friedler, the Company's
Chairman and CEO. Subsequently, Mr. Friedler sold the operations of that entity,
but those billings for services have not yet been paid. As of June 30, 1999, Mr.
Friedler has re-confirmed the balances due the Company and has provided a
payment plan and partial security of same.

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), December 31
($300,000), February 3 ($150,000), and May 5, 1998 ($150,000). Interest on the
loan (amounting to $20,000) was paid in full.
In connection with the Company's reorganization and the Offering, the previous
members of Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, Jack Friedler, his wife Stephanie
Friedler and Harry Dermer, exchanged their respective interests (37.5%, 37.5%
and 25%) in the LLC for an aggregate of 2,462,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company entered into a ten-year lease, which was
subsequently and retroactively amended, for four of the nursing homes operated
by the Company. Jack Friedler, the Company's Chief Executive Officer is a 33.33%
limited partner of the lessor, Fairfield Group Health Care Centers Limited
Partnership ("Fairfield"). The Company's annual rent expense for the year ended
June 30, 1999 was $2,468,000. The Company believes that the terms of the lease
are as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from
nonaffiliated parties.
The partners owning the remaining 66.66% interest in Fairfield were also owners
of an aggregate of 50% of the capital stock of PRN which interest was purchased
by the Company for a total of $1,080,000. Jack Friedler was the owner of 25% of
PRN; in exchange for Mr. Friedler's interest in PRN, the Company issued Mr.
Friedler 108,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $540,000, based
on the public offering price. Suzanne Nettleton, former President of PRN, was
owner of the remaining 25% of the capital stock of PRN. The Company purchased
Ms. Nettleton's interest for $540,000.
The Company leases its corporate office space from an entity in which Jack
Friedler and Harry Dermer own 50% under an operating lease which expires in
February 2013 and has two five-year renewal options with rent at then market
rates. Annual gross rental expense under this lease is $125,000; subleases of
space intended for future expansion have reduced the Company's annual rental
expense to approximately $90,000 during the year ended June 30, 1999. Further,
the Company leases office and warehouse space for BALZ from a related limited
liability company owned in part by Messrs. Friedler and Dermer and Ms.
Archambault under an operating lease which expires January 31, 2002. The
Company's annual rent expense for the year ended June 30, 1999 was $59,000.
The Company acquired all of the capital stock of BALZ from its existing
stockholders (including Jack Friedler, Harry Dermer and Mary Archambault) in
exchange for an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(valued at $1,500,000 based on the public offering price). The following number
of shares were issued to Officers and Directors of the Company in exchange for
their shares of BALZ:
Jack Friedler 72,000
Harry Dermer 60,000
Mary Archambault 60,000
22
<PAGE>
Between October 1995 and July 1996, the Company borrowed an aggregate of
$286,000 from Jack Friedler and Harry Dermer which loans paid interest at an
annual rate of 10%. A total of $104,000 was repaid to Mr. Friedler in August
1996. In May 1997 Mr. Friedler loaned another $100,000 to the Company in
connection with the reacquisition of shares from a private placement investor.
Mr. Friedler's balance of $266,000 was then offset against loans due from
Lexington House in May 1997. Mr. Friedler also instructed the Company to offset
interest due him from the Company of $10,000 each during May and June 1997
against the Lexington House loan. The Company was indebted to Mr. Dermer for
$16,000 as of June 30, 1997, but this balance was repaid in July 1997.
Jack Friedler and Harry Dermer entered into a stockholder's agreement, effective
in May, 1997, which includes, among other things, the grant of a mutual right of
first refusal to purchase any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
other stockholder, and a mutual agreement to vote for the other stockholder as a
Director of the Company.
With respect to each of the foregoing transactions, although the Company has not
obtained any independent fairness opinions, the Company believes that the terms
of such transactions were as fair to the Company as could be obtained from an
unrelated third party. In the event the Company enters into negotiations to
acquire any business or assets of a related party it will secure an independent
appraisal. Future transactions with affiliates will be on terms no less
favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and will be approved
by a majority of the independent and/or disinterested members of the Board of
Directors.
