PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Fountain View, Inc. ("Fountain View" or the "Company"), a Delaware Corporation,
along with its subsidiaries, 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. The Company operates 50
facilities with approximately 6,700 beds serving Medicare, Medicaid, managed
care, private pay and other patients. Sub-acute care is generally short-term,
goal-oriented rehabilitation care intended for individuals who have a specific
illness, injury or disease, but who do not require many of the services provided
in an acute care hospital. Sub-acute care is typically rendered immediately
after, or in lieu of, acute hospitalization in order to treat such specific
medical conditions.
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 to long-term care, Fountain View
provides a variety of high-quality ancillary services such as physical,
occupational and speech therapy in company-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.
Fountain View Equity Transactions
On or about August 1, 1997, the controlling shareholders of the Company
consummated a reorganization transaction (the "Fountain View Equity
Transactions"). Prior to the Fountain View Equity Transactions, the controlling
shareholders were the sole owners of a number of healthcare companies, which
they managed as one business enterprise. The separately owned companies
consisted of eight skilled nursing facilities, an assisted living facility and a
therapy company which provides therapy services primarily to third-party owned
facilities as well as Company-owned facilities. Additionally, the controlling
shareholders owned the real estate for four of the skilled nursing facilities.
The remaining real estate was leased from unrelated third parties.
The controlling shareholders along with Heritage Fund II, L.P. ("Heritage")
formed a new holding company known as Fountain View, Inc. along with several
acquisition subsidiaries to consolidate the healthcare companies owned by the
controlling shareholders into one company. At the same time, Fountain View
entered into market rate leases for the four skilled nursing facilities whose
real estate was owned by the controlling shareholders.
Under the terms of the Fountain View Equity Transactions, Heritage invested
$14.0 million in cash in Fountain View in exchange for all of the Company's
preferred stock with a liquidation value of $7.0 million, and 99,950 shares of
the Company's Common Stock Series A-2. The controlling shareholders at the same
time contributed all of their healthcare assets, except for owned real estate,
to Fountain View in exchange for 53,850 shares of the Company's Common Stock
Series A-1 and 46,200 shares of the Company's Common Stock Series A-3.
Concurrent with the exchange of shares, Fountain View obtained bank financing
totaling $31.0 million, the proceeds of which along with the $14.0 million
invested by Heritage was used to fund a distribution of $43.7 million of cash to
the controlling shareholders and pay $1.3 million in transaction costs.
Since the controlling shareholders maintained a controlling financial interest
in Fountain View, a change in control was not deemed to have occurred upon the
consummation of the Fountain View Equity Transactions. Therefore, the Fountain
View Equity Transactions were treated as a reorganization/merger of companies
under common control, with no step-up in basis of the assets of Fountain View.
Acquisition of Summit Care Corporation
On February 6, 1998, Fountain View, Summit Care Corporation, a California
corporation and its subsidiaries ("Summit"), and Heritage entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the acquisition of Summit by Fountain
View. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Fountain View offered to purchase all of
the outstanding shares of common stock of Summit at a price of $21.00 per share.
The tender offer for the Summit shares expired on March 25, 1998 and Fountain
View purchased approximately 99% of the Summit shares on March 27, 1998. The
Summit operations consisted of 36 SNFs, five ALFs and three institutional
1
<PAGE>
pharmacies. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method
and, as such, the accompanying financial information included herein includes
the results of the Summit operations from the date of acquisition.
In order to purchase the Summit shares, to refinance all then existing Fountain
View funded indebtedness, to redeem all outstanding options for Summit shares,
and to pay certain fees, expenses and other costs arising in connection with
such transactions, Fountain View sold, in a transaction exempt from registration
$120.0 million of 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 ("Notes"). The
Company also entered into a new revolving credit facility and term loan
facilities ("New Credit Facility") providing for revolving credit borrowings of
up to $30.0 million and term loan borrowings of up to $85.0 million. Fountain
View amended its certificate of incorporation to provide for 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 and 1.3 million shares of
Series C Common Stock, and 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. and certain other co-investors, $5.0 million
from Mr. Snukal, Fountain View's Chief Executive Officer, and Mrs. Snukal,
Fountain View's Executive Vice President and Mr. Snukal's wife, and $1.4 million
from Mr. Scott, Summit's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Other 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 ("Buckner"), 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 return, as well as warrants to purchase 59,266 shares of
Fountain View's Series C Common Stock. As part of its investment, the Baylor
Group is entitled to have one of its nominees serve on Fountain View's board of
directors. Fountain View and Baylor are also in the process of discussing the
possible development or operation of certain facilities on a joint or
cooperative basis.
Operations
Services
Basic Healthcare Services
The Company provides skilled nursing care in each of its 44 SNFs which
collectively have 6,032 beds. Skilled nursing care consists of 24-hour care by
registered nurses, licensed practical or vocational nurses and certified aides,
as well as room and board, special nutritional programs, social services,
recreational activities and related medical and other services that may be
prescribed by a physician. Assisted living services include general services
provided by the Company's six ALFs, which collectively have 700 beds. These
services consist of basic room and board, social activities and assistance with
activities of daily living such as dressing and bathing.
Specialty Medical Care
The Company provides specialty medical care, including a wide range of sub-acute
services, to patients with medically complex needs who generally require more
intensive treatment and a higher level of skilled nursing care. These services
represent an area of strategic emphasis for the Company and typically generate
higher profit margins than basic healthcare services.
The Company is committed to providing its patients with the highest possible
standard of care. Fountain View has a Quality Assurance department consisting of
registered nurses who routinely visit the Company's facilities and conduct
quality assurance tests to ensure the consistently high quality of care provided
in each facility. Further, Quality Assurance personnel conduct regular training
for the nursing and other staff in each facility.
The Company is in the process of obtaining accreditation by the Joint Commission
on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") for each of its
facilities. As of December 31, 1999, 18 of the Company's 44 SNFs are JCAHO
accredited or are awaiting formal declaration of such accreditation, with the
remainder of the facilities slated for JCAHO accreditation review in
2
<PAGE>
the next 24 months. Management believes that the Company's JCAHO accreditation
will assist the Company in obtaining and maintaining high occupancy rates at its
facilities and demonstrates its commitment to a high standard of quality of
care.
Sub-Acute Care. The Company provides a wide range of sub-acute services to
patients with medically complex needs, including the following:
Complex Medical Care. The Company provides complex medical care to those
patients who require a combination of medical treatments. Complex medical needs
often include the administration of intravenous medications for various
conditions, such as fluids for hydration, diuretics for congestive heart
failure, antibiotics for the treatment of infection, anti-coagulants to prevent
clotting or pain control for cancer patients. Patients requiring complex medical
care have typically undergone surgical procedures ranging from common joint
replacements to organ transplants, and require close monitoring.
Multiple Intravenous Medications. A variety of intravenous medications are
administered to patients through several types of venous access. The Company's
licensed nurses are intravenous therapy certified and skilled in initiating and
handling central and peripheral lines for intravenous medications.
Wound Care Programs. Wound care programs address the needs of patients suffering
from post-operative wounds, including stoma and ostomy care, and the care of
amputees. Treatment for surgical wounds includes the prevention of post-
operative infections and the removal of surgical staples. The Company also
treats patients for existing infections, including the treatment of antibiotic
resistant micro-organisms with multiple intravenous antibiotics.
Other Programs. The Company also provides blood transfusions, chemotherapy,
dialysis, enteral/parenteral nutrition, tracheotomy care, and ventilator care.
Alzheimer's Care. The Company's dedicated Alzheimer's units provide care for
patients with Alzheimer's disease and severe dementia. This type of care is
designed to reduce the stress and agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease
by addressing the problems of short attention spans and hyperactivity. The
physical environment of the Company's units is designed to reduce the problems
of disorientation and perceptual confusion experienced by Alzheimer's patients.
Therapy Services. Locomotion Therapy, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company,
provides rehabilitative physical, occupational and speech therapy to
unaffiliated nursing home operators and acute care hospitals as well as to
Fountain View facilities, using a progressive, personalized treatment approach
to promote the patient's highest level of independence in mobility and strength.
Many of the Company's patients who have undergone orthopedic surgeries,
including joint replacements such as total hip or knee replacements or
fractures, receive physical therapy. The Company's physical therapists also
perform wound care and utilize electric stimulation to stimulate viable tissue
regrowth. Occupational therapy addresses improvements in functional skills of
the upper body and all aspects of self-care. The Company also provides range of
motion and strengthening exercises for contracture prevention and reduction.
Speech therapists treat patients with speech disorders, perceptual problems,
cognitive problems and swallowing problems. In conjunction with the Company's
nursing staff and respiratory therapists, speech therapists help tracheotomy and
ventilator patients use speaking valves and breathing methods which allow them
to communicate with others.
Pharmacy Services. The Company provides pharmaceutical products and services
through two institutional pharmacies in Southern California. The Company also
owns a 50% equity interest in a limited liability company that operates a
pharmacy in Austin, Texas. These pharmacies serve unaffiliated SNFs, ALFs and
acute care hospitals located throughout much of Southern California and in
certain Texas markets, as well as most of the Company's SNFs and ALFs. The
Company's pharmacies provide prescription drugs, intravenous products, enteral
nutrition therapy services and infusion therapy services, including nutrition,
pain management, antibiotics and hydration.
Outpatient Therapy Clinics. The Company's On-Track subsidiary provides physical
therapy services to outpatients through two facilities in Fresno, California.
The Company intends to open additional facilities in underserved markets where
it has existing relationships with doctors and currently provides physical
therapy services to nursing homes through Locomotion Therapy, Inc.
Durable Medical Equipment. The Company provides various types of durable medical
equipment to Company-owned facilities, as well as unaffiliated facilities,
through a subsidiary. The types of equipment and supplies provided include
enteral feeding supplies, poles and pumps, catheterization equipment and
orthotics.

Sources of Revenue
The Company's SNFs receive payment for healthcare services from federally
assisted Medicaid and Medicare Programs, health maintenance organizations, the
Veterans Administration and directly from patients or their responsible parties
or insurers. The Company's ALFs receive payment exclusively from private
individuals, some of whom depend upon supplemental Social Security payments as a
primary source of income. The sources and amounts of the Company's revenues are
and will continue to be determined by a number of factors, including the
licensed bed capacity of its facilities, occupancy rate, quality mix, the type
of services rendered to the patient and the rates of reimbursement among payor
categories (primarily private, Medicare and Medicaid). Quality mix represents
revenues from Medicare, Medi-Cal sub-acute, managed care, and private pay
patients as a percentage of net revenues.
The following table sets forth for the Company's SNFs, ALFs, pharmacy and
therapy operations the approximate percentages of net revenues, on a combined
basis, derived from the various payor categories for the periods indicated.

</TABLE>
Changes in the quality mix between Medicaid, Medicare, managed care or private
pay can significantly affect profitability. Medicare, Medi-Cal sub-acute,
managed care and private pay patients constitute the most profitable payor
categories and Medicaid patients the least profitable.
Employees
As of December 31, 1999, Fountain View had approximately 6,600 full-time
equivalent employees. The Company has three collective bargaining agreements
with a union covering approximately 400 employees. Fountain View considers the
relations with its employees to be good and it has not experienced any strikes
or work stoppages. Fountain View is subject to federal and state minimum wage
and applicable federal and state wage and hour laws and maintains various
employee benefit plans.
Competition
The Company operates in a highly competitive industry. The Company's SNFs and
ALFs are located in communities that are also served by competing facilities
operated by others. Some competing facilities provide services not offered by
the Company and some are operated by entities having greater financial and other
resources than the Company. In addition, some competing facilities are operated
by non-profit organizations or government agencies supported by endowments,
charitable contributions, tax revenues and other resources not available to the
Company. Furthermore, cost containment efforts, which encourage more efficient
utilization of acute care hospital services, have resulted in decreased hospital
occupancy in recent years. As a result, a significant number of acute care
hospitals have converted portions of their facilities to other purposes,
including specialty and sub-acute units. The competitiveness of the Company's
markets is further increased by the fact that within California, Texas and
Arizona, a Certificate of Need is no longer required in order to build or expand
a SNF. However, in Texas, competition is limited by restrictions on the number
of beds that can be enrolled in the Medicaid Program.
The Company's pharmacies and DME business also operate in highly competitive
environments. They compete with regional and local pharmacies, medical supply
companies and pharmacies operated by other long-term care chains or by other
companies ranging from small local operators to companies which are national in
scope and distribution capability. The Company also expects to encounter
continued competition in connection with its other ancillary services, including
physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Insurance
Fountain View maintains general and professional liability coverage, employee
benefits liability, property, casualty, directors and officers, inland marine,
crime, boiler and machinery coverage, health, automobile, employment practices
liability, earthquake and flood, workers' compensation and employers' liability.
The Company believes that its insurance programs are adequate.
Workers' Compensation. Fountain View operates under a fully insured workers'
compensation policy for its California and Arizona employees. Texas employees
are covered by an employer's excess and occupational indemnity policy with no
policy limits. The Company's self-insured retention is $100,000 per occurrence.
General and Professional Liability. Fountain View's skilled nursing services
subject it to liability risk. Malpractice claims may be asserted against the
Company if its services are alleged to have resulted in patient injury or other
adverse effects, the risk of which is greater for higher-acuity patients, such
as those receiving specialty and sub-acute services, than for traditional long-
term care patients. Fountain View has from time to time been subject to
malpractice claims and other litigation in the ordinary course of business.
While the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all pending legal
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have such an
effect on the Company.
Fountain View's policy for general and professional liability coverage for the
original Fountain View facilities is a per occurrence policy and has limits of
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate per year and carries
no deductible. This policy also includes employee benefits liability with limits
of $1,000,000 per employee and $1,000,000 in the aggregate per year and carries
a $1,000 deductible per employee. In addition, Fountain View maintains a claims-
made policy for general and professional liability, employment practices and
employee benefits liability for all facilities with limits of $1,000,000 per
occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate per year and carries a self-insured
retention of $350,000 per occurrence and a $2,350,000 annual aggregate loss
limit. Additional insurance is provided for all facilities through a claims-made
umbrella policy with limits of $15,000,000 per occurrence and $15,000,000 in the
aggregate per year over its primary general and professional, employment
practices and employee benefits liability.
Although Fountain View has not been subject to any judgments or settlements in
excess of its respective insurance limits, there can be no assurance that claims
for damages in excess of such coverage limits will not arise in the future.
Regulation
Licensure. The Company's SNF, ALF, therapy, pharmacy and DME businesses are
subject to various regulatory and licensing requirements of state and local
authorities in California, Texas and Arizona. Each SNF is licensed by either the
California Department of Health Services, the Texas Department of Human Services
or the Arizona Department of Health Services, as applicable. Each ALF is
licensed by the California Department of Social Services and the pharmacies are
licensed by the California Board of Pharmacy and the Texas State Board of
Pharmacy. All licenses must be renewed annually, and failure to comply with
applicable rules, laws and regulations could lead to revocation of licenses. In
granting, monitoring and renewing licenses, these agencies consider, among other
things, the physical condition of the facility, the qualifications of the
administrative and nursing staffs, the quality of care and compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. Such regulatory and licensing requirements are
subject to change, and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue
to be able to maintain necessary licenses or that it will not incur substantial
costs in doing so. Failure to comply with such requirements could result in the
loss of the right to reimbursement by Medicare or Medicaid as well as the right
to conduct the business of the licensed entity. Further, the facilities operated
by the Company are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other
regulatory authorities to assure continued compliance with various standards and
to provide for their continued licensing under state law and certification under
the Medicare and Medicaid Programs.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from federal and state
regulatory agencies relating to alleged deficiencies for failure to comply with
all components of the regulations. Facilities which are not in substantial
compliance and do not correct deficiencies within a certain time frame may be
subject to civil money penalties and/or terminated from the Medicare and/or
Medicaid Programs. While the Company endeavors to comply with all applicable
regulatory requirements, from time to time certain of the Company's nursing
facilities have been subject to various sanctions and penalties as a result of
deficiencies alleged by the Health Care Finance Administration ("HCFA") or state
survey agencies. In certain instances denial of certification or
5
<PAGE>
licensure revocation actions have occurred. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not be subject to additional sanctions and penalties in the future
as a result of such actions.
In December 1998, the provider agreement for one of the Company's SNFs was
terminated as a result of surveys conducted by the California Department of
Health Services. The Company settled this issue and the provider agreement was
reinstated for the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. In November 1999, the
provider agreement for another of the Company's SNFs was terminated as a result
of surveys conducted by the California Department of Health Services. The
Company has passed the initial survey required for reinstatement into the
Medicare and Medicaid Programs and is awaiting a second survey which is expected
to occur in April 2000. The facility will be reinstated into the Medicare and
Medicaid Programs upon passing the second survey. See Note 16 to the
consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of this issue.
Medicare and Medicaid. The Company's SNFs are subject to various requirements
for participation in government-sponsored healthcare funding programs such as
Medicare and Medicaid. To receive Medicare and Medicaid payments, each facility
must also comply with a number of rules regarding charges and claims procedures,
the violation of which can result in denial of reimbursement. Medicare is a
health insurance program operated by the federal government for the aged and
certain chronically disabled individuals. Medicare benefits are not available
for the costs of intermediate and custodial levels of care including but not
limited to residents in ALFs; however, medical and physician services furnished
to patients requiring such care may be reimbursable under Medicare.
Cost-based Reimbursement System. Through December 31, 1998, for eight of the
Company's SNFs and through June 30, 1998, for 36 of the Company's SNFs, the
Medicare Program utilized a cost-based reimbursement system which, subject to
limits fixed for the particular geographic area on the costs for routine
services (excluding capital related expenses), reimbursed SNFs for reasonable
direct and indirect allowable costs incurred in providing services as defined by
the Medicare Program. Allowable costs normally include administrative and
general costs, as well as operating costs and rental, depreciation and interest
expenses. Reimbursement is subject to retrospective audit adjustment. An interim
rate based upon estimated costs is paid by Medicare during the cost reporting
period and a cost settlement is made following an audit of the actual costs as
reported in the filed cost report. Such adjustments may result in additional
payments being made to the Company or in recoupments from the Company. The
Company maintains reserves to cover such retroactive audit adjustments.
Fiscal intermediaries also occasionally undertake a more in-depth audit of a
facility's billing or other records. In March 1997, one of the Company's
facilities was the subject of a Medicare billing audit by its fiscal
intermediary, resulting in a finding that approximately $1,500,000 of charges
for SNF services lacked a timely certification of medical necessity by a
physician. The Company repaid such charges against the reimbursement of current
claims. Following this audit, the Company adopted measures to strengthen its
documentation relating to physician certification. In 1999, one of the Company's
fiscal intermediaries performed focused audits as a part of the normal annual
audit process at certain of the Company's SNFs. The Company has not received the
final results on these audits. As indicated above, the Company maintains certain
reserves to cover such potential audit adjustments. While the Company does not
believe that it is subject to any other focused reviews or audits, there can be
no assurance that substantial monies will not be expended by the Company in
connection with any such audit or to defend allegations arising therefrom. If it
were found that a significant number of the Company's Medicare claims failed to
comply with Medicare billing or other requirements, the Company could be
materially adversely affected.
Prospective Payment System ("PPS"). The Balanced Budget Act requires the
establishment of a prospective payment system, or PPS, for Medicare Part A SNF
services under which facilities are paid a 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, starting with cost reporting
periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998. The Balanced Budget Act also
implemented consolidated billing on non-physician Part B services provided to
Medicare residents. Consolidated billing requires that SNFs be responsible for
billing all but specifically excluded services provided to Medicare residents.
Prior to consolidated billing, vendors who contracted with SNFs to provide
Medicare-covered services, such as therapy services, billed Medicare
independently for those services. Under consolidated billing, SNFs will be
responsible for billing for most such services and, consequently, will be
directly compensating their vendors for services provided to Medicare residents.
Consolidated billing was to begin for services provided on or after July 1, 1998
but it has been indefinitely delayed by the Medicare Program. The Balanced
Budget Act also implemented fee screens for Part B therapy services provided on
or after January 1, 1999. These fee screens establish a set amount of
reimbursement for each procedure compared to the former cost-based system. In
addition, the Balanced Budget Act imposes a $1,500 per beneficiary annual cap on
certain Part B therapy services. During the initial phases of PPS, the Company
was able to off-set reductions in Medicare reimbursement from those
reimbursement levels experienced under the cost-based reimbursement system
through
6
<PAGE>
reductions in certain of its ancillary service costs. As the Company moves
through the PPS transition to the federal rates, it will experience further
reductions in its per diem Medicare reimbursement. There can be no assurance
that the Company's revenues under this remaining portion of the transition to
the federal rate will be sufficient to cover its costs to operate its
facilities.
In addition, prior to the enactment of the Balanced Budget Act, federal law
required state Medicaid Programs to reimburse SNFs for costs incurred to meet
quality and safety standards. The Balanced Budget Act repealed this payment
standard, effective for services provided on or after October 1, 1997, thereby
granting states greater flexibility in establishing payment rates. There can be
no assurance that budget constraints or other factors will not cause states to
reduce Medicaid reimbursement to SNFs or that payments to SNFs will be made on a
timely basis. Any such efforts to reduce Medicaid payment rates or failure of
states to meet their Medicaid obligations on a timely basis could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Balanced Budget Refinement Act. In November 1999, the Balanced Budget Refinement
Act of 1999 was enacted. This legislation increases the federal PPS rate by 20%
on fifteen categories of Medicare patients in SNFs, effective April 1, 2000. In
addition, the federal PPS rate will increase by 4% in all categories on October
1, 2000 and 2001. The Act also allowed SNFs to elect the full federal rate as
opposed to continuing with the transition period. The $1,500 per beneficiary
annual caps on certain Part B therapy services were suspended for a two year
period under this Act. The Company believes that the provisions of the Act will
have a positive impact on the revenues of the Company, effective April 1, 2000.
Therapy Regulation. The Company furnishes therapy services on a contract basis
to certain affiliated and unaffiliated providers. For Medicare patients, the
providers bill the Medicare Program for reimbursement of the amounts paid to the
Company for these services. HCFA has the authority to establish limits on the
amount Medicare reimburses for therapy services. For services other than
inpatient hospital services, these limits are equivalent to the reasonable
reimbursement that would have been paid if provider employees had furnished the
services. HCFA has exercised this authority by instituting "salary equivalency
guidelines" for physical therapy, respiratory therapy, speech language pathology
and occupational therapy services. In January 1998, HCFA issued a regulation,
effective April 1, 1998, that revised the pre-existing salary equivalency
guidelines for physical therapy and respiratory therapy and established, for the
first time, salary equivalency guidelines for speech language pathology and
occupational therapy services. The salary equivalency guidelines do not apply to
SNFs that are paid under PPS, which is being phased-in by Medicare, as discussed
above.
Pharmacy Regulation. The Company's pharmacies are subject to a variety of state
licensing and other laws governing the storage, handling, selling or dispensing
of drugs, in addition to federal regulation under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act and the Prescription Drug Marketing Act. Moreover, the Company is required
to register its pharmacies with the United States Drug Enforcement
Administration, and to comply with requirements imposed by that agency with
respect to security and reporting of inventories and transactions. Medicare pays
for the costs of prescription drugs furnished in a number of different settings.
Medicaid Programs reimburse pharmacies for drugs supplied to patients based on
the cost of the drug plus a mark-up that varies depending on the type of drugs
supplied.
Outpatient Therapy Regulation. Outpatient therapy services were reimbursed on a
per visit basis, subject to cost limits established by HCFA for the given type
of therapy provided to the patient. The Balanced Budget Act contains provisions
affecting outpatient rehabilitation agencies and providers, including a 10%
reduction in operating and capital costs for 1998, a fee schedule for therapy
services which began in 1999 and the application of per beneficiary therapy caps
for all outpatient rehabilitation services which began in 1999. These provisions
affect the reimbursement to the Company in connection with the services provided
by On-Track, the Company's outpatient therapy subsidiary, and for Part B
services provided to patients of the Company's SNFs.
DME Regulation. Medicare generally provides reimbursement for DME on a fee
schedule basis. The amount reimbursed depends on the classification of the DME
and, generally, will be the lesser of the provider's actual charge for the DME
or the fee schedule amount.
Referral Restrictions and Fraud and Abuse. The Company is also subject to
federal and state laws that govern financial and other arrangements between
healthcare providers. Federal law, as well as the law in California, Texas and
Arizona and other states, prohibits direct or indirect payments in some cases or
fee-splitting arrangements between healthcare providers that are designed to
induce or encourage the referral of patients to, or the recommendation of, a
particular provider for medical products and services. These laws include the
federal Anti-Kickback Statute that prohibits, among other things, the offer,
payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or
to induce, the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. A
7
<PAGE>
wide array of relationships and arrangements, including ownership interests in a
company by persons who refer or are in a position to refer patients, as well as
personal service agreements have, under certain circumstances, been alleged or
been found to violate these provisions. Certain arrangements, such as the
provision of services for less than fair market value compensation, may also
violate such laws. Because of the law's broad reach, the federal government has
published regulations, known commonly as "safe harbors", which set forth the
requirements under which certain relationships will not be considered to violate
the law. One of these safe harbors protects payments for personal services which
are set in advance at a fair market rate and which do not vary with the value or
volume of services referred, provided there is a written contract which meets
certain requirements. A similar safe harbor applies for certain agreements for
management services. A safe harbor for discounts, which focuses primarily on
appropriate disclosure, is also available. A violation of the federal Anti-
Kickback Statute and similar state laws could result in the loss of eligibility
to participate in Medicare or Medicaid, or in criminal penalties of up to five
years imprisonment and/or $25,000 in fines.
In addition, the federal government and some states restrict certain business
relationships between physicians and other providers of healthcare services.
Effective January 1, 1995, Stark II prohibits any physician with a financial
relationship (defined as a direct or indirect ownership or investment interest
or compensation arrangement) with an entity from making any Medicare or Medicaid
referrals for a broad array of "designated health services" to such entity.
Violations of Stark II may result in the imposition of civil monetary penalties
of up to $15,000 for each prohibited service provided, as well as restitution of
reimbursement for such services.
There are also various federal and state laws prohibiting other types of fraud
by healthcare providers, including criminal provisions that prohibit filing
false claims or making false statements to receive payment or certification
under Medicare and Medicaid, or failing to refund overpayments or improper
payments. Violation of these provisions is a felony punishable by up to five
years imprisonment and/or $25,000 in fines. Civil provisions prohibit the known
filing of a false claim or the known use of false statements to obtain payment.
The penalties for such a violation are fines of not less than $5,000 or more
than $10,000, plus treble damages, for each claim filed.
State and federal governments are devoting increasing attention and resources to
anti-fraud initiatives against healthcare providers. The Accountability Act and
the Balanced Budget Act expand the penalties for healthcare fraud, including
broader provisions for the exclusion of providers from the Medicare and Medicaid
Programs and the establishment of civil monetary penalties for violations of the
anti-kickback provisions. While the Company believes that its practices are
consistent with Medicare and Medicaid guidelines, those guidelines are often
vague and subject to interpretation. There can be no assurance that aggressive
anti-fraud enforcement actions will not adversely affect the business of the
Company.
OIG Work Plan. Under Operation Restore Trust, a major anti-fraud demonstration
project, the Office of the Inspector General ("OIG"), in cooperation with other
federal and state agencies, has focused on the activities of SNFs, home health
agencies, hospices and DME suppliers in certain states, including California and
Texas, in which the Company currently operates. Due to the success of Operation
Restore Trust, the project has been expanded to numerous other states and to
additional healthcare providers including providers of ancillary nursing home
services. The Fiscal Year 2000 OIG Work Plan identifies twelve investigative
focus areas relating to nursing home care. While management does not believe the
Company is the subject of any Operation Restore Trust or other OIG
investigations, there can be no assurance that substantial monies will not be
expended by the Company to cooperate with any such investigation or to defend
allegations arising therefrom. If it were found that any of the Company's
practices failed to comply with the anti-fraud provisions, the Company could be
materially affected.
Corporate Compliance Program. In July 1999, the Company implemented a formal
corporate compliance program. This included the appointment of a Compliance
Officer who oversees the program and reports directly to the Company's Board of
Directors. This program sets standards, policies and procedures regarding
compliance with applicable laws governing financial relationships among
healthcare providers or other potential sources of referrals and is designed to
ensure that the business and billing practices of the Company comply with
applicable laws. This program also formally establishes policies and procedures
with respect to quality of care and resident's rights. A toll-free compliance
hotline has been established to provide employees and other persons the ability
to report suspected violations or questionable practices.
Pending Legislation. Government reimbursement programs are subject to statutory
and regulatory changes, retroactive rate adjustments, administrative ceilings
and government funding restrictions, all of which could materially decrease the
rates paid to the Company for its services. Since 1972, Congress has
consistently attempted to curb federal spending on healthcare programs. The
Company expects that there will continue to be a number of state and federal
proposals to limit Medicare and Medicaid
8
<PAGE>
reimbursement for healthcare services. Company cannot, at this time, predict
what healthcare reform legislation will ultimately be enacted and implemented or
whether other changes in the administration or interpretation of the
governmental healthcare programs will occur. There can be no assurance that
future healthcare legislation or other changes in the administration or
interpretation of governmental healthcare programs, if enacted, will not have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Shift to Managed Care. Management anticipates that one of the most significant
changes to the financing of healthcare services is the shift to managed care,
and that the federal Medicare Program, state Medicaid Programs and private
insurers will place greater reliance on managed care alternatives in the future.
According to HCFA, in 1996, 35% of Medicare enrollees in California had enrolled
in a managed care program. In comparison, 8% of Medicare enrollees in Texas had
enrolled in managed care programs, and approximately 14% of Medicare enrollees
nationwide had enrolled in a managed care program. Providers are generally
willing to discount charges for services to managed care patients because
managed care plans can direct or strongly influence the flow of patients.
Management believes that the Company is likely to serve an increasing proportion
of managed care enrollees in the future, although payment rates and the
timeliness of payments for such services may not be as favorable as those
presently in effect. There can be no assurance that changes in reimbursement
rates for services provided under managed care programs will not adversely
affect the Company's revenues.
Environmental Regulation. The Company is also subject to a wide variety of
federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws
and regulations. Regulatory requirements faced by healthcare providers are in
the following areas: air and water quality control; waste management; asbestos,
polychlorinated biphenyls, and radioactive substances; requirements for
providing notice to employees and members of the public about hazardous
materials and wastes; and certain other requirements.
In its role as owner and/or operator of its facilities, the Company may be
subject to liability for investigating and remediating any hazardous substances
that are located on the property, including any such substances that may have
migrated off, or emitted, discharged, leaked, escaped or been transported from
the property. Part of the Company's operations may involve the handling, use,
storage, transportation, disposal and/or discharge of hazardous, infectious,
toxic, radioactive, flammable and other hazardous materials, wastes, pollutants
or contaminants. Such activities may result in damage to individuals, property
or the environment; may interrupt operations and/or increase costs; may result
in legal liability, damages, injunctions or fines; may result in investigations,
administrative proceedings, penalties or other governmental agency actions; and
may not be covered by insurance. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not encounter such risks in the future, and such risks may result in material
adverse consequences to the operations or financial condition of the Company.
Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 1999, the Company owns or leases 44 SNFs with a total of
6,032 beds and six ALFs with a total of 700 beds. In addition, the Company owns
its corporate headquarters and leases space in buildings for its pharmacy and
therapy businesses. The following table sets forth certain information
concerning the SNFs and ALFs currently operated by the Company.

Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results
of Operations (Dollars in Thousands)
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December
31, 1998
Net revenues increased $49,335 or 22.1% from $223,143 in the year ended December
31, 1998 to $272,478 in the year ended December 31, 1999. Substantially all of
the increase was due to the results of Summit being included for the full 12
months of 1999.
Total average occupancy was 83.1% in the year ended December 31, 1999 and 84.6%
in the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company's quality mix (total net
revenues less Medicaid net revenues) was 64.2% in the year ended December 31,
1999 and 66.2% in the year ended December 31, 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 85.5% of
net revenues in the year ended December 31, 1998 to 82.6% in the year ended
12
<PAGE>
December 31, 1999. Salaries and benefits were 49.6% of net revenues in the year
ended December 31, 1999 compared to 52.0% in the year ended December 31, 1998.
This decrease was partly due to a restructuring of Company benefits in August
1998. Expenses increased $34,481 or 18.1% from $190,687 in the year ended
December 31, 1998 to $225,168 in the year ended December 31, 1999. Substantially
all of the increase was due to the results of Summit being included for the full
12 months of 1999.
Income before rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and
interest expense increased $14,854 or 45.8% from $32,456 in the year ended
December 31, 1998 to $47,310 in the year ended December 31, 1999 and was 17.4%
of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to 14.5% in the
year ended December 31, 1998.
Rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense increased $10,963 or 30.8% from $35,577 in the year ended December 31,
1998 to $46,540 in the year ended December 31, 1999. Substantially all of this
increase was due to depreciation and amortization costs related to the
acquisition of Summit's tangible and intangible assets and amortization costs
and interest expense as a result of the debt refinancing, both of which are
included for the full 12 months of 1999.
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December
31, 1997
Net revenues increased $155,238 or 228.6% from $67,905 in the year ended
December 31, 1997 to $223,143 in the year ended December 31, 1998. Substantially
all of the increase was due to the acquisition of Summit.
Total average occupancy was 84.6% in the year ended December 31, 1998 and 84.4%
in the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company's quality mix (total net
revenues less Medicaid net revenues) was 66.2% in the year ended December 31,
1998 and 72.9% in the year ended December 31, 1997.
Expenses, consisting of salaries and benefits, supplies, purchased services,
provision for doubtful accounts and other expenses as a percent of net revenues
increased from 82.8% of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 1997 to
85.5% in the year ended December 31, 1998. Salaries and benefits were 52.0% of
net revenues in the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to 56.3% in the year
ended December 31, 1997. This decrease was partly due to a restructuring of
Company benefits in August 1998. Expenses increased $134,482 or 239.3% from
$56,205 in the year ended December 31, 1997 to $190,687 in the year ended
December 31, 1998. 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 $20,756 or 177.4% from $11,700 in the year ended
December 31, 1997 to $32,456 in the year ended December 31, 1998 and was 14.5%
of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to 17.2% in the
year ended December 31, 1997.
Rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense increased $29,440 or 479.7% from $6,137 in the year ended December 31,
1997 to $35,577 in the year ended December 31, 1998. 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.
Prior to the Fountain View Equity Transactions, most of the individually owned
corporations had elected to be taxed as cash basis S-Corporations and, until
July 31, 1997, only recorded state income taxes. On a pro forma basis, for the
year ended December 31, 1997, the Company has recorded a charge in lieu of
income taxes to arrive at a combined pro forma effective tax rate of 35.1% as if
the Company had been taxed as a C-Corporation. Net income after the pro forma
charge in lieu of income taxes, decreased $6,518 or 180.5% from $3,612 in the
year ended December 31, 1997 to a net loss of $2,906 in the year ended December
31, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1999, the Company had $0 in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $18,823. The Company utilizes its cash balances to reduce
amounts drawn on its revolving credit facility; as such, the cash and cash
equivalents balance is minimal. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the
Company's cash and cash equivalents remained unchanged.
13
<PAGE>
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1,056 from $4,433 in the
year ended December 31, 1998 to $5,489 in the year ended December 31, 1999.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization
and a reduction in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
In 1999, $5,582 was used for the purchase of property and equipment compared to
$7,654 and $2,570 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, $153,521, net of
cash acquired, was used for the acquisition of Summit in 1998.
In 1999, the Company used a net $1,671 in financing activities which consisted
principally of repayments of debt of $3,750 and reductions in capital lease
obligations of $1,013 financed by the increase in payable to bank of $2,103 and
net draws on the revolving loan facility of $989. In 1998, $333,520 was provided
by financing activities (net of applicable issuance costs) from the issuance of
common stock, preferred stock and proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt
and borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit, offset by the payoff of the
Company's then existing credit facilities totaling $158,465 in connection with
the Summit acquisition. In 1997, the Company used a net $7,604 in financing
activities which consisted principally of borrowings on the Company's credit
facility of $32,500, proceeds from the issuance of stock and shareholder
contributions of $13,959, less distributions to shareholders of $48,118, and
repayments of debt totaling $6,065.
Long-term debt, including current maturities, totaling $245,114 at December 31,
1999 consisted of mortgage and capital lease obligations of $19,214, a term loan
credit facility of $86,250, $120,000 in senior subordinated notes, and
borrowings on the Company's revolving loan facility of $19,650. The term loan
credit and revolving loan facilities, collectively known as the "Bank Credit
Facility", contain usual and customary covenants including certain financial
covenants, including a minimum fixed charge ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and
a minimum net worth test. The Company was not in compliance with certain
financial covenants at December 31, 1999. The covenants were amended by the Bank
Group in March 2000. After the amendment, the Company was in compliance with all
financial covenants, and the Company anticipates it will be in compliance in the
year 2000.
The Company had $10,350 in available borrowings on its revolving loan facility
at December 31, 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 $9,663, to make normal recurring capital
replacements, additions and improvements of approximately $6,000 planned for the
next 12 months, to exercise an option to purchase a skilled nursing facility in
Texas for $3,584 in April 2000 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.
The Company's ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments or to
fund planned capital expenditures and any acquisitions will depend on its future
performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are
beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated
cost savings and revenue growth, management believes that cash flow from
operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under its bank
line of credit, will be adequate to meet the Company's future liquidity needs
for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the
Company's business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that
anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements will be realized or that
future borrowings will be available under its bank line of credit in an amount
sufficient to enable the Company to service its indebtedness or to fund its
other liquidity needs. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain any refinancing or additional borrowings, if necessary.
The Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock
based on certain provisions of its loan agreements. The Company does not expect
to pay any dividends in 2000.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which is required to be
adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 permits early adoption
as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Company
expects to adopt SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2000. SFAS will require the
Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the
fair value of the derivative
14
<PAGE>
will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset,
liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings. The Company does not have any derivatives at December
31, 1999, and does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a
significant effect on its results of operations or financial position.
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, 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
The Company has completed its assessment of Year 2000 issues. This assessment
included information technology and non-information technology systems as well
as Year 2000 issues relating to third parties. Based on its assessment, the
Company replaced certain of its existing packaged software applications that had
been determined to be non-compliant with the Year 2000. These applications
included certain of the facility billing and accounts receivable packages along
with certain of the company-level accounts payable and general ledger
applications. These applications have been tested and are functioning as
designed. The software and hardware costs relating to these new systems or new
system upgrades approximated $580,000 and $245,000, respectively.
Although the Company has completed its Year 2000 assessment and believes all
issues to be resolved, there can be no assurance that such assessment has
identified all potential Year 2000 issues. The failure of such assessment to
identify all potential Year 2000 issues could have a material adverse impact on
the operations of the Company.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Item 7.A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following table provides information about the Company's debt obligations
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal
cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by maturity dates. The
Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility ("the Variable Rate Loans"), which both
bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin between 1.75% and 2.75%, are
aggregated for variable rate presentation purposes. The margin as of December
31, 1999 was 2.75%. The rates on the Variable Rate Loans are reset at various
intervals. The average interest rate for the Variable Rate Loans was based on
the weighted average rate of outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1999.
Additionally, the Company has assumed its other long-term debt, comprised of
capital lease obligations, promissory notes, mortgages, and other notes payable,
are similar enough to aggregate for fixed rate presentation purposes. The
Company's incremental borrowing rate at December 31, 1999 was estimated to be
8.76 %. The Company does not have any other material balances that are sensitive
to changes in interest rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
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. Fountain View Equity Transactions
On or about August 1, 1997, the controlling shareholders of the Company
consummated a reorganization transaction (the "Fountain View Equity
Transactions"). Prior to the Fountain View Equity Transactions, the controlling
shareholders were the sole owners of a number of healthcare companies, which
they managed as one business enterprise. The separately owned companies
consisted of eight skilled nursing facilities, an assisted living facility and a
therapy company which provides therapy services primarily to third-party owned
facilities as well as Company-owned facilities.
Under the terms of the Fountain View Equity Transactions, Heritage Fund II, L.P.
("Heritage") invested $14.0 million in cash in Fountain View in exchange for all
of the Company's preferred stock with a liquidation value of $7.0 million and
99,950 shares of the Company's Common Stock Series A-2. The controlling
shareholders at the same time contributed all of their healthcare assets, except
for owned real estate, to Fountain View in exchange for 53,850 shares of the
Company's Common Stock Series A-1 and 46,200 shares of the Company's Common
Stock Series A-3. Concurrent with the exchange of shares, Fountain View obtained
bank financing totaling $31.0 million, the proceeds of which along with the
$14.0 million invested by Heritage were used to fund a distribution of $43.7
million of cash to the controlling shareholders and pay $1.3 million in
transaction costs.
Since the controlling shareholders maintained a controlling financial interest
in Fountain View, a change in control was not deemed to have occurred upon the
consummation of the Fountain View Equity Transactions. Therefore, the Fountain
View Equity Transactions were treated as a reorganization/merger of companies
under common control, with no step-up in basis of the assets of Fountain View.
3. Acquisition of Summit Care Corporation
On February 6, 1998, Fountain View entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
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
25
<PAGE>
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 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, refinance all then
existing Fountain View indebtedness, 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, 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.
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Revenues
Approximately 68 percent, 60 percent and 56 percent of the Company's revenues in
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were derived
from funds under federal Medicare and state Medicaid assistance programs, the
continuation of which are dependent upon governmental policies. These revenues
are based, in certain cases, upon cost reimbursement principles and are subject
to audit. In 1999, one of the Company's Medicare fiscal intermediaries performed
focused audits as party of the normal annual audit process at certain of the
Company's SNFs. The auditors identified certain matters that represented a
departure from prior practices of the fiscal intermediary. The fiscal
intermediary has not asserted a claim or finalized any adjustments to date to
the filed cost reports under audit. The Company believes that the matters raised
by the fiscal intermediary are inappropriate and does not believe that any
material adjustments will ultimately be proposed, or if proposed, sustained.
Revenues are recorded on an accrual basis as
26
<PAGE>
services are performed at their estimated net realizable value. Differences
between final settlement and the estimated net realizable value accrued in prior
years are reported as adjustments to the current year's net revenues.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original or
remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company places
its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market and are included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization (straight-line method) is based on the estimated
useful lives of the individual assets as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Buildings and improvements 15-40 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life, generally 5-10 years.
Furniture and equipment 3-10 years.
</TABLE>
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment under capital leases is
included in depreciation and amortization expense. For leasehold improvements,
where the Company has acquired the right of first refusal to purchase or to
renew the lease, amortization is based on the lesser of the estimated useful
lives or the period covered by the right.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net assets
acquired, substantially relates to the purchase of Summit and is being amortized
over 35 years using the straight-line method. Goodwill at December 31, 1999 was
$60,728,000 less accumulated amortization of $5,340,000.
Deferred financing costs substantially relate to the Term Loan Facility and the
Senior Subordinated Notes (Note 7) and are being amortized over the maturity
periods using an effective interest method. Deferred financing costs at December
31, 1999 were $13,163,000 less accumulated amortization of $2,905,000.
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17, "Intangible
Assets", the Company periodically evaluates the estimated lives of its
intangible assets to determine if events and circumstances warrant revised
periods of amortization. The Company further evaluates the carrying value of its
goodwill and other intangible assets based on estimated fair value or
undiscounted operating cash flows whenever significant events or changes occur
which might impair recovery of recorded costs.
Long Lived Assets
The Company believes that, based on current circumstances, there are no
indicators of impairment to its long-lived assets, and the Company presently has
no expectations for disposing of any long-lived assets.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), was issued which, if elected, would
require companies to use a new fair value method of valuing stock-based
compensation plans. The Company has elected to continue following present
accounting rules under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" which uses an intrinsic value method
27
<PAGE>
and often results in no compensation expense. In accordance with SFAS 123, the
Company has provided pro forma disclosure of what net income would have been had
the new fair value method been used. See Note 13.
Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure," ("SFAS No. 129"), which consolidates the existing
guidance relating to an entity's capital structure. The standard is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The required capital
structure disclosures include liquidation preferences of preferred stock,
information about pertinent rights and privileges of the outstanding equity
securities and the redemption amount of all issues of capital stock that are
redeemable at fixed or determinable prices on fixed or determinable dates. All
required disclosures have been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Reporting Comprehensive Income
In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
No. 130"), which establishes standards for the reporting of comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
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 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 (loss), as reported.
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way
that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual
financial statements. The Company has identified its business segments to be
nursing services, therapy services and pharmacy services. See Note 15.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts as of and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, have
been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
5. Pro Forma Financial Results
The following table sets forth the pro forma unaudited results of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1998, assuming the purchase of Summit had been

6. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
fair market value (in thousands):
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued
Liabilities, and Employee Compensation and Benefits
The carrying amounts for these items approximate their fair value due to the
short maturity of these instruments.
Notes Receivable (Including Current Portion)
The carrying value of the notes receivable approximates its fair value since the
interest rates approximate those currently being offered for notes with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Long-term Debt (Including Current Portion)
The fair market value of the $120.0 million Senior Subordinated Notes
approximates $90.0 million based on the trading price of the notes as of
December 31, 1999. The carrying value of the remaining debt approximates its
fair market value since the interest rate of such debt approximates the
Company's incremental borrowing rate.
7. Long-term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

Senior Subordinated Notes
In April 1998, the Company successfully completed a Senior Subordinated Note
Offering for an aggregate principal amount of $120.0 million, with an interest
rate of 11.25% due in 2008. Interest is payable semiannually in April and
October of each year, commencing October 1998. The notes constitute general,
unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinate to all senior debt.
Term Loan Facility
In April 1998, the Company entered into a term loan facility in the aggregate
principal amount of $85.0 million payable in installments with a final maturity
in March 2004. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin
between 1.75% and 2.75% depending on certain financial ratios. At December 31,
1999, the margin was 2.75%. In October 1998, the Company amended its term loan
agreement extending $5.0 million of an additional mortgage refinancing loan to
the Company. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin as
described above plus an additional 0.5% and matures in March 2004. The Company
used the proceeds to finance the exercise of capital lease purchase options on
two skilled nursing facilities in Texas.
Revolving Loan Facility
In April 1998, the Company entered into a revolving loan facility of $30.0
million maturing April 2004. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus an
applicable margin. At December 31, 1999, the margin was 2.75% and the unused
portion of the line was $10,350,000.
The term loan and revolving loan facilities, collectively known as the "Bank
Credit Facility", contain a perfected first lien on all of the Company's assets,
both tangible and intangible. The Bank Credit Facility also contains usual and
customary covenants including certain financial covenants, including a minimum
fixed charge ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum net worth test. The
Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants at December 31,
1999. The covenants were amended by the Bank Group in March 2000. See Note 18.
After the amendment, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants,
and the Company anticipates it will be in compliance during 2000.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recognized an extraordinary
charge of $517,000 (net of a $344,000 income tax benefit) associated with
prepayment penalties incurred on the early extinguishment of debt.
Property and equipment includes the following amounts for leases which have been

</TABLE>
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
income tax purposes. Temporary differences are primarily attributable to
reporting for income tax purposes the excess of book over tax depreciation due
to purchase accounting adjustments, allowance for uncollectible accounts,
accrued expenses and accrued vacation benefits.
State deferred tax assets and liabilities were reduced to reflect an expected
blended state tax rate of 5.3%. Deferred tax liabilities of approximately
$1,900,000 associated with the step-up in properties purchased were reduced
directly against goodwill according to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes".

$8,000, respectively.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company has federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $9,381,000 which begin to expire in 2012. $1,633,000 of the
federal loss carryforwards are subject to the separate return limitation year
("SRLY") provisions.
Charge in Lieu of Income Taxes and S-corporation Status
Prior to the Fountain View Equity Transactions, most of the individually owned
corporations were taxed as cash basis S-Corporations. Included in the
consolidated statement of operations for 1997 are pro forma charges in lieu of
income taxes to indicate what the tax provision would have been had the Company
been taxed as a C-Corporation for 1997.
In connection with the Fountain View Equity Transactions, the controlling
shareholders elected to make a Section 338(h)(10) election (the "Election").
Since the corporations which comprised the predecessor organization were owned
individually by the controlling shareholders, and most of the corporations had
previously elected to be taxed as cash basis S-Corporations, upon the Election,
the cash basis S-Corporations incurred taxable income to the extent of any
receivables and payables not previously recognized in the S-Corporation tax
returns. The controlling shareholders, and not the Company, are responsible for
the taxes due as a result of the Election.
9. Leases
The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. The leases generally provide for payment of property taxes,
insurance and repairs, and have rent escalation clauses based upon the consumer
price index or annual per bed adjustments.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
As is typical in the health care industry, the Company has experienced an
increasing trend in the number and severity of litigation claims asserted
against the Company. In addition, there has been an increase in governmental
investigations of long-term care providers. While the Company believes that it
provides quality care to its patients and is in compliance with regulatory
requirements, a legal judgment or adverse governmental investigation could have
a material negative effect on the Company. See Note 16.
From time to time, the Company has been a party to professional liability claims
and other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion
of management, any liability beyond amounts covered by insurance and the
ultimate resolution of all pending legal proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Regulatory Matters
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare Program are complex and subject to
interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened
investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing. Noncompliance with
such laws and regulations could subject the Company to further governmental
review as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and
exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid Programs.
Insurance Coverage
Fountain View maintains general and professional liability coverage, employee
benefits liability, property, casualty, directors and officers, inland marine,
crime, boiler and machinery coverage, health, automobile, employment practices
liability, earthquake and flood, workers' compensation and employers' liability.
The Company believes that its insurance programs are adequate.
Workers' Compensation. Fountain View operates under a fully insured workers'
compensation policy for its California and Arizona employees. Texas employees
are covered by an employer's excess and occupational indemnity policy with no
policy limits. The Company's self-insured retention is $100,000 per occurrence.
General and Professional Liability. Fountain View's skilled nursing services
subject it to liability risk. Malpractice claims may be asserted against the
Company if its services are alleged to have resulted in patient injury or other
adverse effects, the risk of which is greater for higher-acuity patients, such
as those receiving specialty and sub-acute services, than for traditional long-
term care patients. Fountain View has from time to time been subject to
malpractice claims and other litigation in the ordinary course of business.
While the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all pending legal
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have such an
effect on the Company.
33
<PAGE>
Fountain View's policy for general and professional liability coverage for the
original Fountain View facilities is a per occurrence policy and has limits of
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate per year and carries
no deductible. This policy also includes employee benefits liability with limits
of $1,000,000 per employee and $1,000,000 in the aggregate per year and carries
a $1,000 deductible per employee. In addition, Fountain View maintains a claims-
made policy for general and professional liability, employment practices and
employee benefits liability for all facilities with limits of $1,000,000 per
occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate per year and carries a self-insured
retention of $350,000 per occurrence and a $2,350,000 annual aggregate loss
limit. Additional insurance is provided for all facilities through a claims-made
umbrella policy with limits of $15,000,000 per occurrence and $15,000,000 in the
aggregate per year over its primary general and professional, employment
practices and employee benefits liability.
Locomotion Indemnification
Locomotion Therapy, Inc. ("Locomotion"), the Company's wholly-owned
rehabilitation services subsidiary, provides physical, occupational and speech
therapy services to various unaffiliated skilled nursing facilities. These
skilled nursing facilities are reimbursed for these services from the Medicare
Program and other third party payors. Locomotion has indemnified these skilled
nursing facilities from certain disallowances of these services. The
accompanying financial statements do not include an estimate of these potential
disallowances as management has concluded that they are not determinable.
11. Shareholders' Equity
Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the Fountain View Equity Transactions, the controlling
shareholders and Heritage, which owned all of the preferred stock and all of the
Series A-2 common stock, consummated a Shareholders Agreement ("the Agreement").
Under the Agreement, each of the parties had certain rights and obligations. In
connection with the Summit acquisition on March 27, 1998, the Shareholder
Agreement was terminated.
On March 27, 1998, a new Stockholders Agreement was executed in conjunction with
an Investment Agreement. The Investment Agreement outlined the restructuring of
the stock ownership of the Company and denoted the cash or other consideration
required for the respective owners' common shares. The Stockholders Agreement
establishes the composition of the Board of Directors, establishes restrictions
on the transfer of these common shares and contains a termination clause in the
event of an initial public offering.
In conjunction with the execution of the above agreements, the Company issued
114,202 shares of Series B Common Stock, in total, to the Chairman, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President of the Company (the "Senior
Executives"). These shares may be forfeited should a trigger event occur and
certain predefined terminal values not be achieved. These terminal values are
defined in the Stockholders Agreement and increase through the passage of time.
Upon any such forfeiture, the Company will pay the holder of those shares an
amount equal to the purchase price of $.10 per share. These shares are treated
as compensatory stock options for financial reporting purposes and compensation
expense will be recorded upon the achievement of a trigger event, when the
number of shares retained by the Senior Executives are known. Compensation will
be measured as the number of shares retained times the fair value of the shares
at the measurement date. No such trigger event has occurred through December 31,
1999.
Preferred Stock
In connection with the Summit acquisition on March 27, 1998, the Company issued
15,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock ("the Preferred Stock") to Heritage in
exchange for $15 million. The Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption
upon an underwritten initial public offering of the Company's common stock on or
after May 1, 2010. The Preferred Stock entitles the holder to a dividend at the
time of a liquidity event calculated to achieve a 12% annual rate of return. A
liquidity event is defined as an underwritten initial public offering or
liquidation of the Company. As of December 31, 1999, there is $3,169,999 of
undeclared and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock.
34
<PAGE>
Warrants
In connection with the Summit acquisition on March 27, 1998, the Company issued
71,119 warrants to purchase the Company's Series C Common Stock at an exercise
price of $.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning April 16, 1998
and expire in April 2008. During 1999, no warrants were exercised. During 1998,
20,742 warrants were exercised.
Dividend Restrictions
The Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock
based on certain provisions of its loan agreements.
12. Purchase and Contribution Agreement
In connection with the Fountain View Equity Transactions, the former controlling
shareholders agreed to reimburse the Company for any adverse change in cost
report settlements for periods prior to the investment of funds by Heritage. The
former controlling shareholders also agreed to indemnify the Company from any
future liability arising from a certain lawsuit.
13. Stock Option Plan
In August 1998, the Company adopted a stock option plan which provides for the
grant of incentive stock options to certain directors, employees and consultants
of the Company to purchase up to 49,388 shares of Series C Common Stock. These
options represent non-qualified stock options and have an exercise price of
$104.61 per share, which was considered the fair market value at date of grant.
The options vest 20% on each anniversary of the option grant and are fully
vested upon the sale of the Company. No option may be exercised after ten years
from the date of the grant. The vesting provisions and other conditions upon
which the options are exercisable are determined by the Stock Option Committee
or the Board of Directors. During this original granting of options,
approximately 26,900 options were granted to employees and consultants of the
Company. Options granted to consultants are considered compensatory, and the
fair value of the options at date of grant is being expensed over the vesting
period.
The following table summarizes activity in the stock option plan:

</TABLE>
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") which uses an intrinsic
value method and, because the exercise price of the Company's stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, results in
no compensation expense. However, pro forma information regarding net income is
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting and
Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), and, in the following
disclosure, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock
options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a minimum value option pricing
model with the
35
<PAGE>
following weighted average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 1998:
risk-free interest rates of 4.75%; dividend yields of zero percent; and a
weighted average expected life of the options of ten years. The weighted average
fair value per share of options granted during the year was $39.55 for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The weighted average remaining contractual life of
these options is approximately nine years.
Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those options used in the minimum value option pricing model, and because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock
options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The effects of
providing pro forma disclosure are not likely to be representative of the
effects on reported net income for future years. The Company's pro forma net
loss for the year ended December 31, 1999, given the effect of the fair value
method, is $508,000.
14. Material Transactions with Related Entities
Leased Facilities
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and his wife, an Executive Vice President
of the Company, own the real estate for four of the Company's leased facilities.
Such real estate has not been included in the financial statements for any of
the years presented herein since such real estate was excluded from the Fountain
View Equity Transactions discussed in Note 2. Lease payments to the these
related parties under operating leases for these facilities totaled $1,809,000,
$1,776,000, and $1,771,000 and for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
Medical Supply Company
The Company's Executive Vice President, who is also the wife of the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, owns approximately 33% of a medical supply company that
provides supplies to the Company. Payments to the medical supply company totaled
$2,184,000, $478,000, and $251,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.
Note Receivable
The Company has a limited recourse promissory note receivable from the Chairman
in the amount of $2,540,000 with an interest rate of 5.7%. The Note is due and
payable on the earlier of April 15, 2007 or the sale by the Chairman of 20,000
shares of the Company's common stock pledged as security for the note. The
Company has recourse for payment up to $1.0 million of the principal amount of
the note.
15. Business Segments
The Company has three reportable segments: nursing services, therapy services,
and pharmacy services. 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. Pharmacy services 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.
Goodwill and
36
<PAGE>
deferred financing costs are also not allocated for purposes of determining
segment assets and are included in the "all other" category. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. 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.
The following table sets forth selected financial data by business segment (in
thousands):

16. Facility Provider Agreements
Loss Lease
In December 1998, one of the Company's SNFs was decertified from the Medicare
and Medicaid Programs as a result of surveys conducted by the California
Department of Health Services. The facility continued to receive payments for
services provided to its Medicare and Medicaid patients for an additional 30
days at which time the Company received a temporary restraining order to
prohibit the decertification of this facility from the Medicare and Medicaid
Programs. This temporary restraining order expired in February 1999 and was not
renewed.
This facility operated under a lease agreement that expired in August 1999, at
which time, the Company had a unilateral option to renew the lease. At December
31, 1998, the Company recorded a loss on this lease in the amount of $1,733,000.
This amount represented the estimated loss of operating this facility through
August 1999 and included probable fines and associated legal costs. In July
1999, the company obtained a new provider agreement from both the Medicare and
Medicaid Programs. In addition, the Company exercised its option to extend this
lease for an additional five year period.
Decertification of Facility
In November 1999, another one of the Company's SNFs was decertified from the
Medicare and Medicaid Programs as a result of surveys conducted by the
California Department of Health Services. The Company anticipates that it will
be reinstated into the Medicare and Medicaid Programs in May 2000. During 1999,
the Company recorded costs relating to this decertification of approximately
$1,510,000. The Company anticipates that additional costs of approximately
$2,500,000 will be incurred prior to the reinstatement of the provider
agreements at this facility.
17. Defined Contribution Plan
As of December 31, 1999, the Company sponsors a defined contribution plan
covering substantially all employees who meet certain eligibility requirements.
At December 31, 1998 the Company sponsored two defined contribution plans
covering substantially all employees who met certain eligibility requirements.
Under the previous plan for the original Fountain View facilities, employees
could contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation. For the former Summit
facilities, employees could contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation,
and through July 31, 1998, the Company matched 50% of the former Summit
employees' contribution up to a maximum of 4% of the employee's total annual
compensation. On August 1, 1998, the Company match was discontinued. The total
expense under the plan was $0, $156,000 and $0 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

18. Subsequent Events
Amendment to Bank Credit Facility
On March 22, 2000, the Bank Credit Facility was amended. The amendment waived
noncompliance with certain financial covenants and revised certain covenant
levels and definitions for the remaining term of the loans. The applicable
interest rate margin over LIBOR was increased 0.50% on the term loan facility
and 0.25% on the revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company paid an
amendment fee to the Bank Group of approximately $385,000. The amendment fee
will be classified as a deferred financing cost and amortized over the remaining
life of the loans.
Exercise of Purchase Option
On March 13, 2000, the Company provided notification of its intent to exercise a
purchase option on a leased facility and paid a $10,000 earnest money deposit.
The facility lease was accounted for as a capital lease in the accompanying
financial statements. The purchase price is equal to the remaining principal
balance of the related capital lease obligation and amounts to $3,584,000. The
Company anticipates finalizing this transaction in April 2000 and intends to
finance this obligation through the Revolving Credit Facility.

Employment Agreements
On March 27, 1998, the Company entered into employment agreements with Mr.
Snukal, Mrs. Snukal and Mr. Scott. Each employment agreement provides a term of

provides prior written notice of termination to the other party, and specifies a
base salary, a bonus range and a package of benefits. Mr. Snukal is employed as

Each employment agreement provides for termination of employment at any time by

duration of the employee's scheduled employment term (plus an additional $25,000
annually in the case of such termination of both Mr. and Mrs. Snukal). If Mr.

employment as a result of death, disability or retirement, or a termination by
the employee without good reason or by the Company with cause.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Investment Agreement
The Company and Robert M. Snukal, Sheila S. Snukal, William C. Scott, Heritage
Fund II, L.P., Heritage Investors II, L.L.C., Heritage Fund II Investment
Corporation, HFV Holdings, LLC, Nassau Capital Partners II L.P., NAS Partners I
LLC, Paribas North America, Inc., Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company,
PMI Mezzanine Fund, L.P., GS Private Equity Partners, L.P., GS Private Equity
Partners Offshore, L.P. and Sutro Investment Partners V, LLC (collectively, the
"Investors") entered into an Investment Agreement dated March 27, 1998,
providing for the issuance by the Company to such stockholders of an aggregate
of 15,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 668,065 shares of Series A Common
Stock, 114,202 shares of Series B Common Stock and warrants to purchase 71,119
shares of Series C Common Stock. These securities were issued immediately prior
to the consummation of the Tender Offer (other than the Series A Preferred
Stock, the warrants and certain shares issued to Mr. Scott, which were issued
promptly after the Merger). The Investment Agreement specifies the consideration
paid by the Investors for the issuance of such Company securities, which
includes (i) a new cash investment in an aggregate amount of approximately $82
million, (ii) in the case of Heritage, Mr. Snukal and Mrs. Snukal, the exchange
of previously-held stock of Fountain View, and (iii) in the case of Mr. Scott,
the issuance by him to the Company of a limited recourse promissory note in the
amount of $2.5 million, with an interest rate of 5.7%, due and payable on the
earlier to occur of (A) April 15, 2007, or (B) the sale by Mr. Scott of the
20,000 shares of the Company's common stock pledged as security for the note;
the Company has recourse for the payment of up to $1.0 million of the principal
amount of the note. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Heritage
made an additional cash investment of $15.0 million for the purchase of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants for shares of Series C
Common Stock. On May 4, 1998, Baylor and Buckner purchased certain shares of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock and a portion of the warrants to purchase
Series C Preferred Stock from Heritage and signed an agreement to become parties
to the Investment Agreement.
Stockholders Agreement
Corporate Governance
On March 27, 1998, the Company and its stockholders entered into a Stockholders
Agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") concurrently with the closing of the
Tender Offer. The Stockholders Agreement, which was amended on May 4, 1998,
provides that the Company's board of directors (the "Board") will consist of
directors nominated as follows: (i) two individuals (but not less than 25% of
the total number of directors) will be designated by Mr. Snukal, as long as he
continues to hold any shares of the Company's common stock; (ii) one individual
will be designated by Mr. Scott, as long as he continues to hold any shares of
the Company's common stock; (iii) one individual will be designated by Baylor,
as long as it continues to hold any shares of the Company's common stock or any
securities convertible into or exercisable for the Company's common stock; and
(iv) all other directors will be designated by the holders of a majority of the
shares of common stock of the Company held by Heritage and certain co-investors
(which designation is expected to be controlled by Heritage). The Board
currently includes 4 of 8 directors designated by Heritage. Under the
Stockholders Agreement, each stockholder of the Company has granted Heritage an
irrevocable proxy to vote such stockholder's securities of the Company, except
with respect to matters the effect of which on such stockholder differs
materially and adversely from the effect on Heritage. The practical effect of
the grant of the proxy is that Heritage will control the outcome of most matters
which come before the stockholders of the Company, except where such matters
will result in significant harm to the other stockholders of the Company, but
not to Heritage. The purpose of the
46
<PAGE>
limitation on Heritage's exercise of the proxy is to protect the other
stockholders from Heritage abusing its position of control.
Board vacancies will be filled by a designee of the individual or group who
originally designated the vacating director. Each individual or group entitled
to designate a director will also be entitled to direct the removal of such
director and designate a replacement director.
Special Provisions for Series B Non-Voting Common Stock
Mr. and Mrs. Snukal own an aggregate of 62,599 shares of the Company's Series B
Non-Voting Common Stock and Mr. Scott owns 51,603 shares of the Company's Series
B Non-Voting Common Stock, all of which were issued to them by the Company for
nominal consideration. These shares represent approximately 9.63% of the total
number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, on a fully-diluted
basis. The Stockholders Agreement provides that some or all of the Company's
Series B Non-Voting Common Stock will be subject to forfeiture upon a change of
control of the Company, an initial public offering of its shares or other
similar events (each, a "Trigger Event"), with the precise number of shares
forfeited to be determined on a sliding scale based on the value of the
Company's common equity at the date of the Trigger Event in relation to certain
value targets at various dates in the future. Under this arrangement, the higher
the value of the Company at the date of the Trigger Event, the more shares of
Series B Non-Voting Common Stock Mr. and Mrs. Snukal and Mr. Scott will retain.
Stock Transfer Restrictions and Rights
The Stockholders Agreement provides for certain transfer restrictions on
securities of the Company. The stockholders of the Company who are members of
management may not transfer their securities until four years after the
consummation of the Tender Offer, except for certain transfers in connection
with estate planning, provided that Mr. Snukal may transfer his securities
earlier if the Company terminates his employment without cause. See Employment
Agreements. The Company and certain stockholders have a right of first refusal
on transfers of Company securities by a stockholder, other than estate planning
transfers by management, transfers by Heritage and certain transfers to
affiliates. If Heritage transfers its securities, other than to its partners,
the other stockholders will have the right to participate on a pro rata basis
with Heritage in such transfers. Heritage will also have the right to require
all other stockholders to transfer a pro rata portion of their shares in a
transaction in which Heritage transfers its shares.
Other
The Stockholders Agreement also (i) provides stockholders with pre-emptive
rights in the event of certain future issuances of securities by the Company,
(ii) restricts the ability of the Company to issue shares of capital stock
having rights senior or on par with those of the Series A Preferred Stock and of
the Company's subsidiaries to issue shares of capital stock while any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, (iii) limits the amounts of dividends
or distributions which the Company may pay with respect to its common stock
while the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, and (iv) includes a
mechanism to convert all existing shares of common stock into a single series of
common stock upon an initial public offering of the Company. The Stockholders
Agreement will terminate upon the consummation of an initial public offering by
the Company.
Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
In connection with the transactions, on March 27, 1998 and May 4, 1998, the
Company amended its certificate of incorporation to provide that its authorized
capital stock consists of (a) 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock designated as
follows: (i) 1,500,000 shares of Series A Common Stock, (ii) 200,000 shares of
Series B Non-Voting Common Stock, (iii) 1,300,000 shares of Series C Common
Stock and (b) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 200,000 of which are
designated Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
subject to mandatory redemption upon an underwritten initial public offering of
the Company's common stock or after May 1, 2010. The certificate of
incorporation further provides that, on liquidation of the Company, the holders
of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation payment. After
such payment, the assets of the Company will be divided ratably among the
holders of (i) the Series A Common Stock and the Series B Non-Voting Common
Stock, on the one hand, and (ii) the holders of the Series C Common Stock, on
the other, based on the relative number of shares of Common Stock
47
<PAGE>
outstanding and held by such holders, provided that the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock and Series B Non-Voting Common Stock
shall be deemed to be 1,114,202, or, if different, shall be deemed to be the
number of shares of Series A Common Stock and Series B Non-Voting Common Stock
then outstanding plus any shares of Series B Non-Voting Common Stock previously
outstanding but forfeited pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement. All amounts
distributable among the Series A Common Stock and the Series B Non-Voting Common
Stock will be divided as follows, to the extent of available proceeds: (A) each
share of Series A Common Stock will receive $126.53 plus a 22% internal rate of
return thereon calculated from March 27, 1998 (the "Series A Common Stock
Preference"); (B) each share of Series B Non-Voting Common Stock will receive an
amount equal to the Series A Common Stock Preference; and (C) the remaining
assets will be distributed ratably among the Series A Common Stock and the
Series B Non-Voting Common Stock.
The amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation also provides that
all shares of Company stock outstanding prior to the amendment were reclassified
into an aggregate of 331,935 shares of Series A Common Stock.
Registration Rights Agreement
The Company and its stockholders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
(the "Investor Registration Rights Agreement") on March 27, 1998 concurrently
with the consummation of the Tender Offer. The Investor Registration Rights
Agreement provides that Heritage has the right to require the Company on two
occasions to effect the registration of the Company's common stock held by it
under the Securities Act and Mr. and Mrs. Snukal have the right to cause the
Company to effect one demand registration, each at the Company's expense and
subject to certain conditions. Mr. Scott has the right to request inclusion of
the Company common stock held by him in any such registration. In addition, all
holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investor Registration
Rights Agreement) are entitled to request the inclusion of any shares of common
stock of the Company in any registration statement at the Company's expense
whenever the Company proposes to register any of its common stock under the
Securities Act. However, the underwriter managing any such offering or any
offering effected pursuant to a demand registration may reduce the number of
shares included therein.
Payments to Certain Stockholders
At the effective date of the Merger, the Company paid Heritage Partners
Management Company, Inc., a fee of $3 million in connection with the
transactions.
Pre-Transaction Arrangements
Fountain View Equity Transactions
Prior to August 1, 1997, each of the corporations which is now a subsidiary of
Fountain View (other than Summit and its subsidiaries) was owned directly by Mr.
and Mrs. Snukal. On or about August 1, 1997, each of those corporations entered
into a Stock Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the "1997 Agreement") with Mr.
and Mrs. Snukal, Heritage and Fountain View providing for the recapitalization
of Fountain View, the issuance of stock of Fountain View to Heritage and the
restructuring of the ownership of the various corporations so that all of them
became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fountain View. In addition, under the terms
of the 1997 Agreement, Mr. and Mrs. Snukal received cash payments from the
investments by Heritage and loans from a senior lender in the aggregate amount
of $43.7 million. The 1997 Agreement contained certain representations,
warranties and covenants, and provided that Mr. and Mrs. Snukal indemnify
Heritage and Fountain View for certain items as described in Note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Related Party Leases
Fountain View leases four SNFs from Mr. and Mrs. Snukal under leases entered
into on August 1, 1997 pursuant to the 1997 Agreement. The leases contain rent
escalation clauses based on increases in the consumer price index. Fountain View
believes the terms of these leases to be at fair market value. Lease payments to
the these related parties under operating leases for these facilities totaled
$1,809,000, $1,776,000, and $1,771,000 and for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

This Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (herein, the "Amendment") is
entered into as of March 22, 2000, among Fountain View, Inc., a Delaware

Banks.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
A. The Borrower, the Banks, and the Agent entered into a certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of April 16, 1998, as amended (herein, the "Credit
Agreement"). All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
same meanings herein as such terms have in the Credit Agreement.
B. The Borrower has requested that the Banks amend the financial covenants
and related definitions and the pricing, and the Banks are willing to do so on
the terms and conditions provided for in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 below, the Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended as follows:
1.1. The definitions of "Applicable Margin" and "EBITDAR" appearing
in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement shall each be amended and restated
in their entirety to read as follows (it being agreed that the amended
Applicable Margin shall bE effective for all periods ending on and after
March 22, 2000):
"Applicable Margin" means, with respect to Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations, and the Revolving Credit Commitment fees and
letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.1 hereof, the rate per annum
specified below:
Applicable Margin for Reimbursement Obligations and Revolving
Loans which are Base Rate Loans: 2.00%
Applicable Margin for letter of credit fee and Revolving Loans
which are Eurodollar Loans: 3.00%
<PAGE>

For purposes hereof, the term "Pricing Date" means, for any fiscal quarter
of the Borrower ending on or after March 31, 2000, the date on which the
Agent is in receipt of the Borrower's most recent financial statements for
the fiscal quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or (b) hereof.
The Applicable Margin shall be established based on the Leverage Ratio for
the most recently completed fiscal quarter and the Applicable Margin
established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing
Date. If the Borrower has not delivered its financial statements by the
date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial
statements, audit report) are required to be delivered under Section 8.5(a)
or (b) hereof, and such Default remains uncured for a period of 10 Business
Days, until such financial statements and audit report are delivered, the
Applicable Margin shall be the highest Applicable Margin (i.e., the
-2-
<PAGE>
Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be greater than 6.0 to 1.0). If the
Borrower subsequently delivers such financial statements before the next
Pricing Date, the Applicable Margin established by such late delivered
financial statements shall take effect from the date of delivery until the
next Pricing Date. In all other circumstances, the Applicable Margin
established by such financial statements shall be in effect from the
Pricing Date that occurs immediately after the end of the Borrower's fiscal
quarter covered by such financial statements until the next Pricing
Date. Each determination of the Applicable Margin made by the Agent in
accordance with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower and the Banks if reasonably determined.
"EBITDAR" means, with reference to any period, Net Income for such period
plus the sum (without duplication) of all amounts deducted in arriving at
such Net Income amount in respect of (w) Interest Expense for such period,
(x) federal, state and local income taxes for such period, (y) depreciation
of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets for such period, and
(z) Rental Expense for such period (plus, to the extent deducted in
arriving at EBITDAR for the relevant period, expenses incurred in
connection with, and amounts not reimbursed as a result of, the
decertification of the Carehouse facility located in Orange County,
California in amounts reasonably determined by the Borrower and established
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and in all cases not to exceed:
$1,500,000 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1999, $1,800,000 for
the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2000, $800,000 for the fiscal quarter
ending June 30, 2000, and $0 for any fiscal quarter ending thereafter).
1.2. Section 8.23 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 8.23. Leverage Ratio. As of the last day of each
fiscal quarter of the Borrower occurring during the periods specified
