                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1. Description of Business

Fountain View, Inc. ("Fountain View" or "Company") is a leading operator of
long-term care facilities and a leading provider of a full continuum of post-
acute care services, with a strategic emphasis on sub-acute specialty medical
care. Fountain View operates a network of facilities in California, Texas, and
Arizona, including 44 skilled nursing facilities ("SNFs") that offer sub-acute,
rehabilitative and specialty medical skilled nursing care, as well as six
assisted living facilities ("ALFs") that provide room and board and social
services in a secure environment. In addition, Fountain View provides a variety
of high-quality ancillary services such as physical, occupational and speech
therapy in Fountain View-operated facilities, unaffiliated facilities and acute
care hospitals. Fountain View also operates three institutional pharmacies (one
of which is a joint venture), which serve acute care hospitals as well as SNFs
and ALFs, both affiliated and unaffiliated with Fountain View, an outpatient
therapy clinic and a durable medical equipment ("DME") company.

The Company acquired Summit Care Corporation ("Summit") on March 27, 1998 (see
Note 3). The Summit operation consisted of 36 SNFs, five ALFs and three
institutional pharmacies. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method and, as such, the accompanying financial statements include the
results of Summit's operations from the acquisition date.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information reflects
all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature), which are
considered necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position, its cash
flows and the results of operations. These statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
interim financial information herein is not necessarily representative of that
to be expected for a full year.

3. Acquisition of Summit Care Corporation

On February 6, 1998, Fountain View entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Tender Offer") providing for the acquisition of Summit by Fountain View at
a price of $21.00 per share. Approximately 99% of the shares of Summit were
purchased for approximately $141.8 million at the closing of the Tender Offer on
March 27, 1998.

In order to consummate the purchase of the Summit shares in the Tender Offer and
to refinance Fountain View's existing debt, Fountain View entered into a term
loan agreement for borrowings of $32.0 million and a credit facility of
approximately $62.7 million. Fountain View amended its certificate of
incorporation to provide for: (i) 3.0 million shares of Common Stock designated
as 1.5 million shares of Series A Common Stock, 200,000 shares of Series B Non-
Voting Common Stock, 1.3 million shares of Series C Common Stock; and (ii) 1.0
million shares of Preferred Stock, 200,000 of which are designated Series A
Preferred Stock. In addition, Fountain View raised approximately $97.0 million
of new equity investments in the amounts of $90.6 million from Heritage Fund II,
L.P. ("Heritage") and certain other co-investors, $5.0 million combined from Mr.
Robert Snukal, Fountain View's Chief Executive Officer, and Mrs. Sheila Snukal,
Fountain View's Executive Vice President, and $1.4 million from Mr. William
Scott, Summit's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Concurrent with the Merger becoming effective, Fountain View entered into a new
$30.0 million revolving credit facility, an $85.0 million term-loan facility,
and successfully completed a Senior Subordinated Note Offering providing for
borrowings of $120.0 million. Heritage's equity investment included $15.0
million for 15,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Fountain View that
entitles them to a dividend at the time of a liquidity event calculated to
achieve a 12% annual rate of return, as well as warrants to purchase 71,119
shares of Fountain View's Series C Common Stock. These funds were used to
consummate the purchase of Summit's remaining shares not tendered in the Tender
Offer, refinance all then existing Fountain View indebtedness,

                                       6
<PAGE>

as described above, and Summit indebtedness (except for capital lease and
mortgage obligations) totaling $107.8 million, redeem all outstanding options
for Summit shares, and pay certain fees, expenses, and other costs arising in
connection with such transactions.

On May 4, 1998, Fountain View signed an investment agreement with Baylor Health
Foundation System ("Baylor"), a vertically integrated healthcare system
operating in Texas, and Buckner Foundation, a non-profit foundation,
(collectively, the "Baylor Group"). In addition, Fountain View signed an
operating agreement with Baylor. Pursuant to these agreements, Baylor invested
$10.0 million and Buckner invested $2.5 million in Fountain View through the
purchase of 12,342 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from Heritage that
entitles them to a dividend at the time of a liquidity event calculated to
achieve a 12% annual rate of return, as well as warrants to purchase 59,266
shares of Fountain View's Series C Common Stock.

On October 6, 1998, the Company amended its $85.0 million term loan credit
agreement with the bank extending $5.0 million of additional mortgage
refinancing loans to the Company. The Company used the proceeds to finance the
exercise of capital lease purchase options on two skilled nursing facilities in
Texas.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). The Company expects to adopt
SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2000. SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a significant effect on
its results of operations or financial position. The Company has no derivatives
as of June 30, 1999.

6. Business Segments

The Company has three reportable segments:  nursing services, therapy services,
and pharmaceuticals. The nursing services are provided by 44 SNFs that offer
sub-acute, rehabilitative and specialty medical skilled nursing care, as well as
six ALFs that provide room and board and social services in a secure
environment. Therapy services include ancillary services such as physical,
occupational and speech therapy provided in Fountain View-operated facilities,
unaffiliated facilities and acute care hospitals. Pharmaceuticals are provided
by three institutional pharmacies (one of which is a joint venture), which serve
acute care hospitals as well as SNFs and ALFs, both affiliated and unaffiliated
with Fountain View.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on an efficient
and cost-effective operating model which maximizes profitability and the quality
of care provided across the Company's entire facility network. Certain of
Fountain View's facilities are leased, under operating leases, and not owned.
Accordingly, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent
and extraordinary items is used to determine and evaluate segment profit or
loss. Corporate overhead is not allocated for purposes of determining segment
profit or loss, and is included, along with the Company's DME subsidiary in the
"all other" category in the selected segment financial data that follows.
Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at the Company's cost plus
standard mark-up; intersegment profit and loss has been eliminated in
consolidation.

The Company's reportable segments are business units that offer different
services and products. The reportable segments are each managed separately due
to the nature of the services provided or the products sold.

7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS No. 130"), establishes standards for the reporting of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
(net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. SFAS No. 130 uses the
term comprehensive income to describe the total of all components of
comprehensive income, that is, net income plus other comprehensive income. Other
comprehensive income items include unrealized gains and losses on available-for-
sale securities; foreign currency translation adjustments; changes in the market
value of certain futures contracts; and changes in certain minimum pension
liabilities. Fountain View has no items of other comprehensive income in the
periods reported, and, therefore, comprehensive income is equal to net income,
as reported.

Item 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results
of Operations (Unaudited)

Quarter Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1998 (Dollars in
Thousands)

Net revenues decreased $290 or 0.4% from $68,291 for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 to $68,001 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

Total average occupancy was 83.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 84.4%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The Company's quality mix (total net
revenues less Medicaid net revenues) was 62.7% for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 and 63.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

Expenses, consisting of salaries and benefits, supplies, purchased services,
provision for doubtful accounts and other expenses as a percent of net revenues
decreased from 84.8% of net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to
82.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Salaries and benefits were 49.6% of
net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to 51.3% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. Expenses decreased $1,850 or 3.2% from $57,911 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to $56,061 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

Income before rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and
interest expense increased $1,560 or 15.0% from $10,380 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 to $11,940 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and was 17.6% of
net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to 15.2% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998.

Rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense increased $1,313 or 12.5% from $10,477 for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 to $11,790 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Substantially all of this
increase was due to higher depreciation costs related to the purchase of
property and equipment and an increase in amortization costs and interest
expense as a result of the debt refinancing.

Net loss increased $29 or 50.0% from $58 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to
$87 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

Although the Company's results for the second quarter were favorable compared to
the same quarter last year, the results were down compared to the first quarter
of 1999. Net revenues for the first quarter of 1999 were $69,016 and income
before rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense was $12,691, or 18.4% of net revenues. This shortfall from the first
quarter was substantially due to a decline in census in the nursing center
operations without a corresponding reduction in operating expenses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
(Dollars in Thousands)

Net revenues increased $48,648 or 55.1% from $88,369 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 to $137,017 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Substantially
all of the increase was due to the acquisition of Summit.

Total average occupancy was 83.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
84.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's quality mix (total
net revenues less Medicaid net revenues) was 63.4% for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 66.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Expenses, consisting of salaries and benefits, supplies, purchased services,
provision for doubtful accounts and other expenses as a percent of net revenues
decreased from 83.9% of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to
82.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Salaries and benefits were 49.5%
of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 51.7% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. Expenses increased $38,204 or 51.5% from $74,182
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $112,386 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Substantially all of the increase was due to the acquisition of
Summit.

Income before rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and
interest expense increased $10,444 or 73.6% from $14,187 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to $24,631 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and was
18.0% of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 16.1%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense increased $10,182 or 79.3% from $12,834 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 to $23,016 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Substantially all of
this increase was due to higher depreciation and amortization costs related to
the acquisition of Summit's tangible and intangible assets and an increase in
amortization costs and interest expense as a result of the debt refinancing.

Net income increased $320 or 108.5% from $295 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 to $615 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Dollars in Thousands)

At June 30, 1999, the Company had $3,002 in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $17,129. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
Company's cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,002.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9,932 from $1,065 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 to $10,997 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily due to reductions in accounts receivable which
includes  receipts from Medicare settlements, an increase in depreciation and
amortization and operating activities generated from Summit facilities.

Long-term debt, including current maturities, totaling $245,419 at June 30, 1999
consisted of mortgage and capital lease obligations of $19,719, a term loan
credit facility of $88,750, $120,000 in senior subordinated notes, and
borrowings on the Company's revolving loan facility of $16,950.

The Company had $13,050 in available borrowings on its revolving loan facility
at June 30, 1999. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash flow from its
existing operations and from its bank line of credit to service long-term debt
due within one year of $10,738, which includes a capital lease purchase option
of $3,584 on a skilled nursing facility in Texas which the Company plans to
exercise in March of 2000, to make normal recurring capital replacements,
additions and improvements of approximately $7,000 planned for the next 12
months and to meet other long-term working capital needs and obligations. The
Company expects, on a selective basis, to pursue expansion of its existing
centers and the acquisition or development of additional centers in markets
where demographics and competitive factors are favorable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Prospective Payment System

Pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act, a prospective payment system ("PPS") was
established for Medicare SNFs. Under PPS, facilities are paid a federal per diem
rate for virtually all covered SNF services in lieu of the former cost-based
reimbursement rate. PPS is being phased in over three cost reporting periods
beginning on or after July 1, 1998. At July 1, 1998, 36 of the Company's 44 SNFs
transitioned to PPS. The remaining eight facilities transitioned on January 1,
1999.

Impact of Inflation

The health care industry is labor intensive. Wages and other expenses increase
more rapidly during periods of inflation and when shortages in the labor market
occur. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs in the form of higher
prices. Increases in reimbursement rates under Medicaid generally lag behind
actual cost increases, so that the Company may have difficulty covering these
cost increases in a timely fashion. In addition, as described above, Medicare
SNFs are now paid a per diem rate under PPS, in lieu of the former cost-based
reimbursement rate. Increases in the federal portion of the per diem rates may
also lag behind actual cost increases.

Impact of Year 2000

General Description of the Year 2000 Issue and the Nature and Effects of the
Year 2000 on Information Technology (IT) and Non-IT Systems

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded
chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send billings, or engage in similar normal business
activities.

The Company has nearly completed its assessment of Year 2000 issues. This
assessment includes information technology and non-information technology
systems, as well as Year 2000 issues relating to third parties. This assessment
includes estimated costs, an evaluation of associated risks, and contingency
plans, as necessary, to ensure the Company is Year 2000 compliant.

                                       11
<PAGE>

The Company's plan with regard to the Year 2000 issue involves the following
phases: (i) assessment of systems to determine the extent to which the Company
may be vulnerable to the Year 2000 issue, both internally and with respect to
third parties; (ii) the development of remedies to address problems discovered
in the assessment phase; (iii) the testing and implementation of such remedies;
and (iv) the preparation of contingency plans to address potential worst case
scenarios should the remedies not be successful.

Based on assessments to date, the Company has determined that it will replace
certain of its existing packaged software applications that have been determined
to be non-compliant with the Year 2000. These applications include certain of
the facility-level billing and accounts receivable packages along with certain
of the company-level accounts payable and general ledger applications, and
certain hardware. The Company presently believes that, with modifications or
replacements of existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can
be mitigated. However, if such modifications and replacements are not made, or
are not completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on the operations of the Company.

Status of Progress in Becoming Year 2000 Compliant, Including Timetable for
Completion of Each Remaining Phase

With respect to its information technology exposures, the Company has completed
its assessment and the Company has begun its software and hardware replacement.
Once software is replaced for a system, the Company will begin testing and
implementation. These phases run concurrently for different systems. Completion
of the testing phase for all significant systems is expected by September 1999,
with all remediated systems fully tested and implemented by October 1999. There
can be no assurance, however, that such assessment, when completed, will
identify all potential Year 2000 issues. The failure of such assessment to
identify all potential Year 2000 issues or the failure of the Company to timely
develop and test remedies to any such issues, could result in delays in
implementing any required modifications, conversions and updates to the
Company's computer systems, as well as the implementation of any contingency
plans. If such modifications, conversions and updates are not made or not
completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on the operations of the Company.

The remediation of non-information technology systems, primarily biomedical
equipment, is significantly more difficult than the remediation of the
information technology systems because each piece of equipment must be
separately remediated and tested if identified as Year 2000 non-compliant. The
Company has completed its inventorying and assessment of these non-information
technology systems and has identified all mission-critical systems. The Company
is in the process of querying vendors to determine whether these systems are
Year 2000 compliant and/or what remediation, if any, is required. The cost of
these external resources for this portion of the Year 2000 project is expected
to total approximately $100,000. The Company expects to complete its remediation
efforts and testing and implementation of its remediated equipment by October
1999.

Nature and Level of Importance of Third Parties and Their Exposure to the Year
2000

The Company's payroll is processed directly by a third party vendor. The Company
has received notification from the third party vendor ensuring that their
payroll system is Year 2000 compliant. The Company is in the process of testing
the payroll system for compliance.

Certain of the Company's billing systems interface directly with the Medicare
and Medicaid Programs. In addition, payments are received electronically from
the Medicare Program. Approximately 67% of net revenues are derived from these
federally assisted programs. We understand that the Medicare and the applicable
Medicaid Programs have notified their payees that they expect their systems to
be Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that these
programs are or will be Year 2000 compliant. The inability of these programs to
become Year 2000 compliant in a timely fashion could materially adversely impact
the Company.

The Company does not share information systems or exchange information
electronically with its suppliers or vendors. The Company is in the process of
querying its significant suppliers and vendors (external agents) that do not
share information systems with the Company. To date, the Company is not aware of
any external agent with a Year 2000 issue that would materially impact the
Company. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that external agents will
be Year 2000 compliant. The inability of external agents to become Year 2000
compliant in a timely fashion could materially adversely impact the Company.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Estimated Costs With Respect to the Year 2000

The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to reprogram, or
replace, test, and implement the software, hardware and equipment to ensure that
it is Year 2000 compliant. The software and hardware costs relating to these new
systems or new system upgrades are estimated to be approximately $500,000 and
$125,000, respectively, and are being funded through operating cash flows. To
date, the Company has incurred approximately $315,000 and $110,000,
respectively, for new systems and equipment related to all phases of the Year
2000 project.

Contingency Plans With Respect to the Year 2000

The Company believes that it has an effective program in place to resolve the
Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. As noted above, the Company has not yet
completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. In the event that the
Company does not successfully convert its existing packaged software
applications, the Company will most likely be unable to process transactions
electronically via its current systems, impacting primarily its customer
billing, cash collections and cash disbursements. This may result in lost
revenues or cash flow constraints. The Company does not believe patient care
will be directly impacted. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally
resulting from Year 2000 issues could also materially adversely impact the
Company. The Company could be subject to litigation for computer systems
failures. The amount of any potential liability or lost revenue cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company is in the process of completing worst case contingency plans for
certain critical applications. Year 2000 compliant computers are being placed at
each facility and at the Company's corporate office. The Company is in the
process of purchasing certain Year 2000 compliant software which will facilitate
the production of manual accounts payable and payroll checks should the
Company's primary computer applications fail to perform as designed. In
addition, the Company is considering the possibility of preprinting and securing
payroll checks to ensure timely payment to employees.

Certain of the Company's Year 2000 compliant computers interface and access
computer programs maintained by the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. In addition,
certain funds are received electronically from these programs. In the event the
Company is unable to bill these programs electronically due to system failures
of these programs, the Company is positioned to perform manual billing via
templates, manual workarounds and the reallocation of personnel to handle the
workload. We understand that cash receipts will be received in lump sums via
checks should system failures at the Medicare and Medicaid Programs occur.

Company personnel are developing templates to facilitate the manual recording of
transactions normally maintained in computerized subledgers and the general
ledger in the event the ledger systems fail to perform as designed. Current
personnel are well versed in the manual processing of all applications and all
new personnel will be trained to perform functions manually to ensure continued
operations of the Company. All non-information technology systems (i.e.,
hardware, biomedical equipment, etc.) which cannot be remediated and tested by
October 1999 will be replaced immediately.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Certain of the Company's debt obligations are sensitive to changes in interest
rates. The rates on the term loan and revolving credit facility, which both bear
interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, are reset at various intervals,
thus limiting their risk. The Company has not experienced significant changes in
market risk due to the stability of interest rates during the six months ended
June 30, 1999.
