ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
  This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward looking statements
that are subject to risk and uncertainty. There can be no assurance that these
future results will be achieved. Readers are cautioned that a number of
factors, including those identified below, could adversely affect the
Company's ability to obtain these results: (a) increased payor pressures in
the domestic psychiatric industry with respect to negotiated rates and other
cost-containment measures, (b) uncertainties in the regulatory environment due
to proposed health care reform legislation, including changes in Medicare and
Medicaid reimbursement programs, and (c) increased competition among
hospitals, managed care providers and other health care providers.
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the industry
segment information presented in the notes to the financial statements
appearing in Item 8.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Company is a leading provider of psychiatric services for adults
adolescents and children with acute psychiatric, emotional, substance abuse
and behavioral disorders. The Company currently offers a broad spectrum of
inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient and residential treatment
programs through 28 hospitals in 15 states and Puerto Rico, and 15 hospitals
in the United Kingdom. The Company also offers long-term critical care
services in 12 states through 13 freestanding hospitals, a satellite hospital
and one hospital that shares a building with one of the Company's psychiatric
hospitals. The company operated 35 hospitals in the U.S. Psychiatric Division
until November 1995 when the Company discontinued psychiatric operations at
six of these facilities. One additional psychiatric hospital was closed in
January of 1996. Two of these facilities shared space with the long-term
critical care division. Long-term critical care services will continue to be
provided at these locations and will expand to use all of the previously
shared buildings.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  Hospital Closures and Restructuring. Since November 1995, the Company has
begun a restructuring by closing unprofitable hospitals and reducing regional
and corporate overhead. Six underperforming hospitals were closed in November
1995, two of which shared space with the Company's long-term critical care
division. These two previously shared facilities are now being completely
converted to THC long-term critical care facilities. A seventh psychiatric
facility was closed in January 1996. The Company's historic multi-regional
structure (which had been consolidated since 1993 from 9 regions to 2), was
further consolidated in November 1995 into one centralized organizational
structure under one management team to enhance cost-effectiveness and
corporate responsiveness to field operations. The Company also centralized
marketing operations. Further reductions in overhead costs were implemented in
January 1996, and poorly performing facilities will continue to be monitored
closely for potential closure or sale if their financial performance does not
improve on a timely basis.
 
  New Management. In November 1995 the Company put in place a new management
team with extensive experience in psychiatric/behavioral health operations to
manage the U.S. psychiatric business and to improve profitability. William
Hale, who had joined Community Psychiatric Centers ("CPC") in May 1995 to
serve as chief operating officer of its Managed Care Services division, was
appointed president. Charles Smith, formerly senior vice president responsible
for Eastern Division operations, was promoted to a newly-created chief
operating officer position. The Company developed a wide variety of
initiatives and programs to strengthen operations for the new management team
to implement, including (i) expanding the psychiatric and behavioral health
services offered, (ii) placing a heavier emphasis on cost containment and
collections, (iii) establishing a centralized marketing function and expanding
marketing and business development efforts directed to managed care
organizations, (iv) enhancing account management services to clients and (v)
establishing and expanding creative forms of partnerships and other alliances
with medical/surgical hospitals and various payer organizations. However,
there can be no assurance that the new management team or the Company will be
successful in the short-term in significantly improving operating results. The
new management team also plans to move quickly on a hospital closure when
circumstances warrant such action.
 
  Spin-off Transaction. On December 20, 1995, the Company announced that the
CPC Board of Directors had preliminarily approved a plan to spin-off the U.S.
psychiatric business in the form of a taxable dividend to
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
the CPC shareholders. The plan calls for CPC to be split into two independent
publicly held corporations, one providing psychiatric services in the U.S. and
one operating THC, U.K. psychiatric operations and Puerto Rico psychiatric
operations. The spin-off is subject to a number of conditions, including
regulatory and other third party approvals, market conditions, final approval
of the Board of Directors and shareholder approval, accordingly, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in consummating the spin-off.
However, it is anticipated that the spin-off and related matters will be
submitted to shareholders at the Annual Meeting to be scheduled at a later
date. The special dividend is expected to be distributed by mid 1996.
 
  Indications of Interest Received for PHG. The Company has received a number
of unsolicited indications of interest to acquire its United Kingdom
subsidiary--the Priory Hospitals Group ("PHG"). There can be no assurance that
these inquiries and related discussions will result in a sale of PHG. The
Company is giving each indication of interest received to date careful
consideration, and does not intend to make further announcements until these
discussions are terminated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement.
 
PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES
 
  The Company is a leading provider of psychiatric/behavioral services for
adults, adolescents and children with acute psychiatric, emotional, substance
abuse and behavioral disorders. The Company currently offers a broad spectrum
of inpatient, partial hospitalizations, outpatient and residential treatment
programs through 28 hospitals in 15 states and Puerto Rico and also provides
comprehensive managed care/case management services for payors throughout the
U.S.
 
  The psychiatric/behavioral care industry in the United States continues to
undergo significant change due to the expanding influence of managed care and
cost-containment measures imposed by governmental and third party payors and
employers. Providers such as the Company continue to experience a significant
increase in the percentage of revenues from payors that reimburse on
negotiated per diem or case rates, episodes of care or length of stay rates,
or on a discounted basis. In addition, this same trend has resulted in higher
deductibles and co-insurance for patients. Negotiated rates with managed care,
government and other third parties have decreased, and the use of less
intensive settings of behavioral care in place of inpatient treatment has
increased. Providers such as the Company have also been affected by the
aggressive privatization of state and county psychiatric/behavioral services
which has generally resulted in lower rates. Payors also have adopted
increasingly stringent admission and length of stay criteria and other
treatment constraints. All of these factors adversely affect utilization and
reimbursement for psychiatric services. As a result, psychiatric care
providers in the U.S. have been forced to adapt their clinical practices,
business practices and operating strategies.
 
  The Company's operating results for the periods presented have been
adversely affected by several factors, including: (i) expansion of managed
care and its penetration into new markets throughout the U.S.; (ii)
significant reduction in reimbursement from government, state and county
payors that are aggressively trying to reduce their costs for all forms of
health care; (iii) management in certain markets who have not changed rapidly
enough to meet the demands of a changing marketplace; and (iv) erosion of
length of stay due to the development of alternative services such as partial
programs, intensive outpatient services and behavioral home care, all of which
can be delivered in a more cost effective setting. Due in part to these
issues, the Company has gone through a major restructuring, as described above
in "Recent Developments" and is in the process of implementing the initiatives
discussed under "Business--Business Strategy," below.
 
LONG-TERM CRITICAL CARE
 
  In November 1992, to diversify beyond psychiatric care, the Company, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary Transitional Hospitals Corporation ("THC"), began
to offer long-term critical care services in converted, previously
underutilized psychiatric hospitals and newly-acquired freestanding acute care
facilities. The Company incurs significant capital and start-up costs in
connection with the acquisition and conversion of each facility, and each of
the new facilities is expected to generate significant operating losses until
the facility is certified as a long-term critical care hospital at which time
it qualifies for cost-based reimbursement. Pending such certification, these
start-up hospitals are reimbursed under the Medicare Prospective Payment
System ("PPS") which does not pay the full cost of treating Medicare patients
with the severity of illness treated at
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
THC facilities. Such certification typically occurs after the facility's first
six months of operations during which the facility establishes an average
length of stay in excess of 25 days.
 
  Of the 14 THC hospitals in operation during fiscal year 1995, 13 were
certified as long-term care hospitals and therefore received cost-based
reimbursement under Medicare, whereas at the same time in 1994, 13 facilities
were in operation and eleven had been open long enough to receive their long-
term care hospital certification. In addition, 11 facilities completed their
"TEFRA" (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982) rate setting period
during fiscal year 1995 and are now eligible for an additional incentive
payment if their costs are less than the targeted rate per discharge. See
"Business--Regulation and Reimbursement--Medicare and Medicaid".
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
 Psychiatric Hospitals--United States
 
  The Company has refocused its business strategy to meet the needs of the
current U.S. psychiatric care industry by ensuring the most cost-effective
delivery of quality care in an environment of reduced reimbursement and
inpatient hospital stays. However, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in achieving its business strategy objectives. The
Company's present operating strategy includes the following key elements:
 
  Focus on Core Business
 
  .  Focus on Core Business Operation. Management has instituted an intense
     refocusing on core business operations. As part of this action plan,
     management is monitoring on a regular basis and holding all hospital
     CEOs accountable for key operating indicators such as labor costs and
     staffing levels, clinician compensation, purchased services and
     ancillary costs. Management also continues to focus on cash collections
     and reducing contractual and bad debt expenses by more closely
     monitoring managed care contracts, collecting at time of patient
     admission, scrutinizing in more detail all denials and appeals, and
     establishing clear communication and coordination among all the hospital
     departments and the hospital business office. Furthermore, management
     has both expanded and increased its utilization of its national managed
     care contract data base to ensure consistent contract negotiations and
     coordinate account management among all the Company's operations and
     payors across the country.
 
  .  Align Hospital Management Incentives. The Company maintains an emphasis
     on ensuring that hospital CEO and management team compensation
     incentives are aligned with corporate objectives. Accordingly, the
     Company measures and rewards hospital CEOs and management teams for
     their facility's quality of care, ability to meet payor and patient
     needs and achievement of financial objectives. CEOs and their management
     teams are encouraged to establish ventures that provide future avenues
     of growth while still being rewarded for growth in their core
     businesses.
 
  .  Reengineer the Organizational Structure to Establish a Result-oriented
     Management Infrastructure. The Company has recently completed a
     significant reduction in overhead, including the entire regional
     management infrastructure. The Company believes that the elimination of
     costly and redundant personnel as well as the cumbersome authorization
     protocols inherent in that structure will result in an organizational
     structure that is both effective and efficient. The Company has also
     implemented a centralized management recruiting effort to improve the
     standardization of quality and skills at senior levels, hospital CEOs,
     CFOs, marketing directors and physicians. The Company plans to continue
     monitoring its management infrastructure and will continue to reengineer
     its control structure in order to maintain an efficiently managed
     organization.
 
  Focused Development
 
  .  Strengthen Alliances with General Medical/Surgical Hospitals. The
     Company has targeted the top general medical/surgical hospitals in each
     of its local markets to establish alliances including joint purchasing
     arrangements of laboratory, pharmacy and ancillary services; packaged
     bids to privatize the local community's public health care programs; and
     joint ventures, partnerships or other entities that offer health care
     services designed to address the specific needs of each particular local
     market
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     (including home health care, gero-psychiatric/behavioral services or
     disease management of psychiatric/behavioral services within the general
     medical/surgical hospital's emergency room or psychiatric care unit).
 
  .  Develop Integrated Delivery Systems. Management recognizes the need to
     be a part of Integrated Delivery Systems, and as a result, is
     establishing relationships with other health care providers in each of
     its markets. As part of this strategy, the Company may consolidate
     certain of its operations within the facilities of other health care
     providers associated with the IDS, or the operations of such health care
     provider may be consolidated within the Company's facilities.
 
  .  Pursue Government Contracts. The Company believes that the privatization
     of health care represents a strong area of potential growth given the
     current fiscal pressures faced by governments. Consequently, the Company
     is actively pursuing opportunities to provide the psychiatric health
     care services to state, county or municipal governments within the
     markets that it serves. The Company's response to privatization efforts
     are supported by other corporate initiatives including the establishment
     of IDSs and its plan to affiliate with general medical/surgical
     hospitals.
 
  .  Strengthen Relationships with Payors. The Company continually examines
     and assesses the "user friendliness" and attractiveness of its programs
     in meeting the needs of the Company's payors. Based on this analysis,
     the Company refines its program offerings and business protocol.
     Programs developed to better meet the needs of payors include length of
     stay contracts, case rates and episodes of care rates. The Company's
     efforts are directed at cultivating a cooperative environment with
     payors. The Company has refined its management and clinical outcome
     capabilities to further integrate them with these functions as performed
     by payors and the other health care providers serving payors.
 
  .  Strengthen Youth Service Programs and Develop Other Alternative
     Behavioral Health Care Regimens. Youth service programs represent one of
     the fastest areas of growth in behavioral health care. The current short
     supply of such programs is forcing many state and county governments to
     send their young offenders to programs out of state. The Company will
     continue to strengthen its position as a provider of youth services and
     will also look to develop other forms of alternative behavioral care
     that provide similar growth opportunities.
 
While the Company believes that implementing the above described programs and
strategies will enable the Company to improve operations, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so.
 
 Psychiatric Hospitals and Dialysis Units--United Kingdom
 
  Currently, the Company operates 12 psychiatric hospitals and two smaller
treatment units in the United Kingdom through which it provides primarily
inpatient treatment to patients covered by private health insurance. It also
operates a substance abuse clinic, a secure psychiatric facility and two
kidney dialysis facilities for Britain's National Health Service ("NHS").
Based on the number of licensed hospital beds, the Company is the leading
commercial provider of psychiatric services in the United Kingdom where
psychiatric services are generally available to residents without charge from
government-owned NHS hospitals. Approximately 12% of the British population is
covered by private health insurance.
 
  The Company also operates two adolescent care units for children who have
been traumatized by abuse, or who have emotional and behavioral problems and
learning difficulties. These children are placed at the units by local
statutory authorities.
 
  Management intends to continue to explore acquisitions and alliances to take
advantage of an increasing willingness on the part of the British government
to contract with private providers, and to expand the Company's dialysis
business in the United Kingdom.
 
 THC Hospitals
 
  Traditionally, patients suffering from long-term complex medical problems
have stayed in the intensive care unit of general acute care hospitals until
they were sufficiently well to be transferred to less intensive care settings.
Such stays are relatively expensive, reflecting the cost of intensive on-site
equipment and services that,
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
while necessary for hospitals to accomplish their primary missions, are not
required for the ongoing treatment of these patients. Over the past ten years,
hospitals have come under increasing pressure to reduce the length of patient
stays as a means of containing costs. Managed care organizations have limited
hospitalization costs by controlling hospital utilization and negotiating
discounted rates for hospital services. Traditional third party indemnity
insurers have begun to limit reimbursement to pre-determined amounts of
"reasonable charges," regardless of actual costs, and to increase the co-
payments required to be paid by patients. In 1983, Congress sought to contain
Medicare hospital costs by adopting the Prospective Payment System ("PPS")
under which hospitals generally receive a specified reimbursement rate
regardless of how long the patient remains in the hospital or the volume of
ancillary services ordered by the attending physician. The effect of these
various cost-containment measures have provided hospitals with an incentive to
discharge patients more quickly.
 
  THC has primarily targeted larger-population markets which have significant
populations of persons over the age of 65. The aging of the population,
advancements in medical care, the desire of payors and patients for lower cost
and more specialized alternatives to traditional acute care hospitals and the
disincentive for such hospitals to provide long-term care to critically ill
patients has led to a growing demand for long-term critical care services. The
Company believes that providers such as skilled nursing facilities and home
care providers are not in the best position to efficiently provide health care
services to these critically ill patients. Traditional skilled nursing
facilities have generally focused on providing long-term custodial care to
persons eligible for Medicaid. As a result of Medicaid "cost ceilings" on
reimbursement for each patient, nursing homes face an economic disincentive to
treat medically complex patients. Home health care is not a viable alternative
to inpatient care for such patients because of their continued need for (i)
intensive and specialized medical care and equipment, (ii) the availability of
physicians and 24-hour nursing care, and (iii) a comprehensive array of
rehabilitative therapy. As a result of its improved operating results in 1995,
the Company continues to believe that a market opportunity exists for
providers dedicated exclusively to providing long-term critical care. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
execute its expansion plans of THC operations or that health care reform will
not adversely affect THC's financial performance. See "Business--Regulation
and Reimbursement."
 
  To capitalize on this opportunity, THC offers long-term critical care to
patients who are stabilized and do not require the complete spectrum of
intensive care services provided by traditional acute care hospitals, but who
are too ill to return home or be placed in a nursing home. THC provides care
to those suffering from pulmonary diseases, kidney failure and other complex
medical problems; such patients require a variety of intensive services
including life-support systems, post-surgical stabilization, intravenous
therapy, subacute rehabilitation and wound care. THC's strategy is to provide
a comprehensive range of long-term critical care that will enable it to treat
most types of critical care patients, regardless of their diagnosis or medical
condition, with the objectives of returning these patients to full activity.
 
  THC offers managed care organizations and indemnity insurance payors a
single source from which to obtain long-term critical care services. The
Company believes THC addresses cost-containment pressures affecting the health
care industry by offering a high quality, cost-effective alternative to
traditional acute care hospitals.
 
  THC's immediate expansion plan is to open two facilities in fiscal 1996. The
Company will expand THC's operations primarily by (i) leasing beds in acute
care facilities owned by others, (ii) acquiring and converting freestanding
acute care and psychiatric facilities and (iii) converting selective
previously underutilized psychiatric hospitals owned by the Company to long-
term critical care use.
 
PSYCHIATRIC CARE OPERATIONS
 
 Services and Programs
 
  Over the past several years, the Company has significantly expanded the
scope of its psychiatric treatment programs to create a continuum of care from
which the most appropriate and cost-effective treatments can be selected to
meet the needs of its payors and patients. In addition to offering traditional
inpatient treatment
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
programs, the Company provides less costly treatment alternatives such as
partial hospitalization, residential treatment and intensive and non-intensive
outpatient programs. By offering such programs through a single organization,
the Company believes that patients receive the most appropriate treatment, and
that the transition among differing intensities of care occurs rapidly and
cost effectively from the perspective of the patient, clinical team (including
the medical director, the clinical or nursing director, the admissions
director and the program director) and payor. The Company's patient programs
include:
 
  .  Inpatient. Inpatient treatment is provided when the patient's disorder
     prevents him or her from safely performing routine daily activities
     without 24-hour supervision. Intensive individual or group therapy is
     provided and the patient's daily activities are highly structured.
     Treatment regimens are designed to enable transition to a less intensive
     treatment program as soon as feasible.
 
  .  Residential. Residential treatment programs specialize in providing
     treatment for adolescents who need more structured treatment than can be
     provided through outpatient care. The Company also operates several
     acute residential treatment programs for adults. The Company's 19
     residential treatment centers typically have 10 to 30 beds and each are
     staffed with a psychiatrist, 24-hour nursing and an on-site licensed
     program therapist.
 
  .  Partial Hospitalization. Partial hospitalization (including outpatient
     visits) is provided when the patient's disorder does not require 24-hour
     supervision and is such that the patient may be treated while living at
     home. Treatment regimens are generally for 6-12 hours per day, up to 7
     days per week, and are structured to meet the patient's specific
     clinical needs as well as the patient's work, school and home life
     requirements.
 
  .  Intensive Outpatient. Intensive outpatient programs are provided when a
     patient's disorder necessitates routine observation, supervision or
     intervention but does not require inpatient or partial hospitalization
     treatment. Treatment is generally provided for 3-4 hours per day,
     typically 3-4 days per week, according to the patient's clinical needs
     and daily routine.
 
  .  Outpatient. Outpatient treatment is offered when a patient's disorder
     requires therapeutic intervention at a level that is less intensive than
     the Company's other psychiatric services. This type of treatment
     generally involves individual, family or group therapy of 45-90 minutes
     per session on a scheduled basis. Typically, the Company will refer
     these types of patients to community-based clinicians as appropriate to
     the needs and location of the patient.
 
  The Company also offers payor services for the above described programs
designed to be attractive, effective and efficient for payors:
 
  .  Managed Care/Case Management. The Company offers case management
     services to payors such as health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"),
     preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") and firms specializing in
     psychiatric/behavioral health care managed care services. The managed
     care/case management programs also include case reviews and claims
     payment services. These services may be attractive to payors that no
     longer wish to directly provide psychiatric/behavioral case management
     services or that may desire access to a larger network of patient care
     programs.
 
  .  Clinical Outcome Information. The Company's information system, "CPC-
     INFO," is designed to gather and synthesize patient satisfaction data,
     clinical outcomes data, clinical views of symptomology and demographic,
     program, payor and resource data in a common data base. The consolidated
     data provides useful information for the professional treatment team,
     the payor and the regulatory agency. CPC-INFO better enables the Company
     to demonstrate to payors effectiveness and quality of care, standardized
     clinical operations, clinical outcomes, regulatory compliance, patient
     satisfaction and overall value.
 
  For the year ended November 30, 1995, the average length of stay for the 35
U.S. psychiatric hospitals' inpatient and residential treatment programs was
9.2 days and 94.5 days, respectively. Adjusted patient days for inpatient,
partial hospitalization (including outpatient visits), and residential
treatment programs were 332,649, 152,309 and 57,311, respectively, for the
same period.

 Sources of Psychiatric Hospital Revenues--U.S.
 
  Patients are typically referred to the Company by physicians and other
health care professionals, managed care organizations, employee assistance
programs, the clergy, law enforcement officials, schools, emergency rooms and
crisis intervention services. In some areas, the Company provides a community
outreach program called the Psychiatric Assessment Team which is able to
respond on a 24-hour basis to emergency calls for help in assessing people's
problems and making referrals to the appropriate mental health service or
setting. Psychiatrists and, in some states, psychologists are authorized to
admit patients to the Company's facilities. It is against Company policy, as
well as state and federal law, to pay referral sources for hospital
admissions. See "Business--Regulation and Reimbursement--Relationships With
Physicians and Clinicians". The Company believes it obtains referrals from
both physicians and secondary sources primarily as a result of its competitive
pricing and the quality and scope of its programs.
 
  The Company receives payment for its psychiatric hospital services from
patients, private health insurers, managed care organizations, and from the
Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS governmental programs. While variations or
hybrid programs may exist, the following five categories include all methods
by which the Company's hospitals receive payment for services:
 
  .  Medicare. Medicare is a federal program that provides certain hospital
     and medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over and certain
     disabled persons. Reimbursement is predicated on the allowable cost of
     services, plus an incentive payment where costs fall below a target
     rate.
 
  .  Medicaid. Medicaid is a medical assistance program under which benefits
     are available to the indigent. Reimbursement received by the Company's
     hospitals varies as each state has its own methodology for making
     payment for services provided to Medicaid patients.
 
  .  CHAMPUS. CHAMPUS is a federal program which provides health insurance
     for certain active and retired military personnel and their dependents.
     CHAMPUS reimbursement is at either (i) regionally set rates, (ii) 1988
     charges adjusted upward by the Medicare Market Basket Index, or (iii) a
     fixed rate
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     per day at certain of the Company's California facilities where CHAMPUS
     contracts with a benefit administration group.
 
  .  Managed Care. Reimbursement is at prices established in advance by
     negotiation or competitive bidding for contracts with insurers and other
     payors such as health maintenance organizations, preferred provider
     organizations and other similar plans.
 
  .  Private Pay. Payment by patients and their private indemnity health
     insurance plans is generally based on the Company's schedule of rates
     for that location. The Company's general policy is to set rates for
     services at amounts equal to or less than the average rates of its
     competitors' comparable facilities in each hospital market.
 
  The following table summarizes, as a percentage of net operating revenues for
all of the Company's United States psychiatric hospitals, the percentage of net
operating revenues from each reimbursement method for the periods presented.

 Sources of Psychiatric Hospital Revenues--U.K.
 
  Approximately 12% of United Kingdom's population has private health insurance
which provides benefits for psychiatric and substance abuse treatment. There
are few private psychiatric hospitals in the United Kingdom because NHS
hospitals (British government-owned) are available to its residents without
charge. Approximately 59% (76% in 1994 and 85% in 1993) of the Company's 1995
revenues for services in its psychiatric hospitals and alcoholism treatment
facilities in the United Kingdom were derived from private sources not subject
to any governmental payment limitations, but which are being affected by
reimbursement restrictions imposed by private insurers.
 
LONG-TERM CRITICAL CARE
 
  The Company, through THC, provides long-term critical care in converted
psychiatric facilities, freestanding acute care facilities and hospital space
shared with a psychiatric facility. Although THC's patients range in age from
pediatric to geriatric, a substantial portion of THC's patients are over 65
years of age. THC's long-term critical care facilities include the equipment
and physician and other professional staff necessary to care for most types of
critically ill patients regardless of their diagnosis or medical condition.
THC's professional staffs work in inter-disciplinary teams to evaluate patients
upon admission to determine a treatment plan with an appropriate level and
intensity of care. Where appropriate, the treatment programs may involve the
services of several disciplines, such as pulmonary and rehabilitation therapy.
Currently, THC offers a complex medical care program, ventilator management
program, wound care program and low tolerance rehabilitation program. Patients
who successfully complete treatment programs are discharged to skilled nursing
homes, rehabilitation hospitals or home care settings.

    THC in fiscal year 1996.
(3) Fully converted from a CPC psychiatric hospital.
(4) Leased facility.
(5) In September of 1995, the Company opened an 80 bed satellite to this
    facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
 
Note: Two additional facilities are under development in San Diego, CA (38
beds) and Chicago, IL (104 beds).
 
  The Company conducts market research prior to opening a new facility to
determine (i) the need for placement of ventilator-dependent patients and
other classes of critically ill patients, (ii) the existing physician referral
patterns, (iii) the presence of competitors, (iv) the payor mix and (v) the
political and regulatory climate. The Company generally seeks to purchase or
lease hospitals with fewer than 100 beds in major metropolitan areas and also
considers hospitals in other markets where its research indicates the need for
such hospitals.
 
 Patient Admission
 
  Substantially all of the patient admissions to THC's hospitals are transfers
from other health care providers. Patients are referred from general acute
care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and home
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
care settings. The majority of THC's admissions are directly from the
intensive care units of general acute care hospitals. Referral sources include
discharge planners, case managers of managed care plans, social workers,
physicians, third party administrators, HMOs and insurance companies.
 
  THC has directors of patient referrals who educate health care professionals
from traditional acute care hospitals as to the unique nature of the services
provided by THC's hospitals. The directors of patient referrals develop an
annual admission plan for each hospital, with assistance from the hospital's
administrator. The admission plans involve ongoing education of local
physicians and the employees of managed care organizations and acute care
hospitals. THC anticipates that it will direct increased admission efforts
toward insurance company case managers and managed care organizations.
 
 Sources of Long-Term Critical Care Revenues
 
  For long-term critical care services rendered to patients, THC receives
payment from (i) the federal government under Medicare, (ii) certain states
under Medicaid, (iii) commercial insurers and patients and (iv) managed care
organizations. After certification of the THC facility as no longer subject to
PPS limitations, payments from Medicare and Medicaid are generally based upon
cost; payments from commercial insurers are generally based upon charges and
payments from managed care organizations are based on negotiated rates. Net
Medicare revenue for THC totalled 72% (69% and 77% for fiscal years 1994 and
1993) of total THC net operating revenues for fiscal year 1995. The Company
anticipates reimbursement from Medicare will continue to constitute a
significant portion of THC's revenues in the future. See "Business--Regulation
and Reimbursement."
 
SELECTED HOSPITAL OPERATING DATA
 
  The following is a comparison of the quarterly and annual statistical data
for fiscal years 1995 and 1994 for the Company's 35 United States psychiatric
hospitals that were operated in 1995 (six facilities were closed in November
1995 and one facility was closed in January 1996), its 12 United Kingdom
psychiatric hospitals and its 13 THC hospitals which were open in both years.
In all periods presented, adjusted patient days include inpatient days and
equivalent days for partial hospitalization and outpatient programs.

COMPETITION
 
  The Company's psychiatric hospitals compete with other free-standing
psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric units in medical/surgical hospitals as well
as with other specialty psychiatric hospitals. Some competing hospitals are
either owned or supported by government agencies. Others are owned by
nonprofit corporations and supported by endowments and charitable
contributions. Such governmental and nonprofit entities are substantially
exempt from income and property taxation. The competitive position of a
hospital is, to a significant degree, dependent upon the number and quality of
physicians practicing at the hospital and the members of its medical staff.
The Company also believes that the competitive position of a hospital is
dependent upon the variety of services offered by a facility, and the Company
strives to implement programs best suited to the needs of patients and payors
in each particular market.
 
  THC's hospitals compete with medical/surgical hospitals, certain long-term
care hospitals, sub-acute facilities, rehabilitation hospitals and nursing
homes specializing in providing care to critically ill patients. Many of these
providers are larger and more established than THC. The Company believes that
to offer programs providing a cost-effective continuum of care, nursing homes
and other companies are converting their facilities and developing programs
that will be competitive with THC's hospitals. This trend is expected to
continue due to cost-containment pressures and the efforts of nursing homes to
expand their existing markets.
 
  The competitive position of a hospital, including the Company's psychiatric
hospitals and THC's hospitals, is affected by the ability of its management to
negotiate service contracts with purchasers of group health care services,
including private employers, PPOs and HMOs. Such organizations attempt to
obtain discounts from established hospital charges. The importance of
obtaining contracts with PPOs, HMOs and other organizations which finance
health care, and its effect on a hospital's competitive position, vary from
market to market, depending on the number and market strength of such
organizations. It is the Company's policy to enter into these contracts
wherever feasible. Generally, hospitals holding major contracts with managed
care organizations are able to attract more doctors to their active medical
staffs than hospitals without such contracts.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  As of November 30, 1995, the Company had approximately 9,400 employees, of
which approximately half were employed full time and half were employed part
time. The employees at two of the Company's psychiatric hospitals and one THC
hospital are covered by union agreements. The Company considers its labor
relations to be satisfactory.
 
REGULATION AND REIMBURSEMENT
 
  The health care environment in which the Company operates is highly
regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes and proposals for
change. There can be no assurance that state or federal regulatory and
legislative bodies will not propose or enact rules or laws that could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
 
  The Company's hospitals are subject to substantial and continuous federal,
state and local government regulation. Such regulations provide for periodic
inspections and other reviews by state and local agencies, the United States
Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and CHAMPUS to determine
compliance with their respective standards pertaining to medical care,
staffing utilization, safety and equipment necessary for continued licensing
or participation in the Medicare, Medicaid or CHAMPUS programs. The admission
and treatment of patients at the Company's psychiatric hospitals are also
subject to state and federal regulation relating to confidentiality of medical
records.
 
 Accreditation and State Licensing
 
  State licensing of hospitals is a prerequisite to the operation of each
hospital and to participation in all federally-funded programs. Once a
hospital has been licensed, it must continue to comply with federal, state and
local licensing requirements in addition to local building and life safety
codes. All of the Company's hospitals have obtained the necessary licenses to
conduct business.
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
  Hospitals may seek an accreditation from The Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO"), a nationwide commission
which establishes standards relating to the physical plant, administration,
quality of patient care and operation of medical staffs of hospitals.
Generally, hospitals and certain other health care facilities are required to
have been in operation at least six months in order to be eligible for
accreditation by JCAHO. After conducting on-site surveys, JCAHO awards
accreditation for up to three years to hospitals found to be in substantial
compliance with JCAHO standards. Accredited hospitals are periodically
resurveyed, including, at the option of JCAHO, upon a major change in
facilities or organization and after a merger or consolidation. All of the
Company's hospitals are accredited by JCAHO. The Company intends to seek and
obtain JCAHO accreditation for any additional hospitals it may purchase or
lease.
 
  Certain states have certificate of need ("CON") laws which generally provide
that prior to the expansion of an existing facility, the construction of a new
facility, the addition of beds, the acquisition of existing facilities or
major items of equipment or certain changes in services, or the undertaking of
a capital expenditure on behalf of a facility, approval must be obtained from
the designated state health planning agency. The stated objective of the CON
process is to promote quality health care at the lowest possible cost and
avoid unnecessary duplication of services, equipment and facilities. If the
Company is unable to obtain the requisite CONs, the growth of its business and
especially that of THC could be adversely affected.
 
 Medicare and Medicaid
 
  During fiscal 1995, approximately 38% of the Company's United States
psychiatric operating revenues were derived from patients covered by Medicare
and Medicaid programs, and the Company anticipates that this participation
will increase in the future. Medicare is a federal program that provides
certain hospital and medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over and
certain disabled persons. Medicaid is a medical assistance program
administered by the states and partially funded by the federal government
under which health care benefits are available to the indigent. Within the
Medicare and Medicaid statutory framework, there are substantial areas subject
to administrative rulings, interpretations and discretion which may affect
payments made to providers.
 
  In order to receive Medicare reimbursement, each hospital must meet the
applicable conditions of participation set forth by HHS relating to the type
of hospital, its equipment, personnel and standard of medical care, as well as
comply with state and local laws and regulations. Hospitals undergo periodic
on-site Medicare certification surveys. The Medicare survey is limited if the
hospital is JCAHO accredited. All but one of the U.S. psychiatric hospitals
and all of THC's operating hospitals are certified as Medicare providers. The
one U.S. psychiatric hospital that is not Medicare certified treats
adolescents only. All but two of the Company's operating hospitals are
certified by their respective state Medicaid programs. A loss of certification
could adversely affect a hospital's ability to receive payments from Medicare
and Medicaid.
 
  Prior to 1983, Medicare reimbursed hospitals for the reasonable direct and
indirect cost of the services provided to beneficiaries. The Social Security
Amendments of 1983 implemented PPS in an effort to reduce and control Medicare
costs. Under PPS, inpatient costs are reimbursed based upon a fixed payment
amount per discharge using diagnosis related groups ("DRGs"). The DRG payment
under PPS is based upon the national average cost of treating Medicare
patients with the same diagnosis. Although the average length of stay varies
for each DRG, the average stay for all Medicare patients subject to PPS is
approximately six days. An additional outlier payment is made for patients
with unusually long lengths of stay or higher treatment costs. Outlier
payments are designed to cover only marginal costs. Additionally, PPS payments
can only be made once every 60 days for each patient. Thus, PPS creates an
economic incentive for general acute care hospitals to discharge Medicare
patients as soon as clinically possible.
 
  The Social Security Amendments of 1983 exempted psychiatric, rehabilitation,
cancer, children's and long-term care hospitals from PPS. A long-term care
hospital is defined as a hospital which has an average length of stay of
greater than 25 days. The Company's experience is that THC's facilities are
able to meet this definition. Under current law, inpatient operating costs for
long-term care and psychiatric hospitals are reimbursed under a cost-based
reimbursement system. The one exception to this rule is the initial six months
of operations of a long-term care hospital which is subject to PPS
reimbursement. As a result of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of
1982 ("TEFRA"), reimbursement under the cost-based system is subject to a
computed target amount
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
per discharge (the "Target") for inpatient operating costs. A hospital's
Target rate is the per discharge (case) limitation, derived from the
hospital's allowable net Medicare inpatient operating costs in the hospital's
base year, and updated for each subsequent hospital cost reporting period by
the appropriate annual rate-of-increase percentage. If allowable net inpatient
operating costs do not exceed the hospital's Target, payment to the hospital
will be determined on the basis of the lower of (i) Net inpatient operating
costs plus 50% of the difference between inpatient operating costs and the
Target; or (ii) Net inpatient operating costs plus 5% of the Target. Prior to
October 1, 1991, allowable Medicare operating costs per discharge in excess of
the Target were not reimbursed. Effective October 1, 1991, if a hospital's
allowable net inpatient operating costs exceed the Target, Medicare reimburses
the lower of (i) the hospital's target amount plus 50% of the allowable
Medicare operating costs per discharge in excess of the Target or (ii) 110% of
the Target. With regard to hospitals certified prior to October 1, 1992, the
TEFRA Target provisions do not apply with respect to hospitals that have been
in operation for less than three full years. For hospitals certified on or
after October 1, 1992, the TEFRA Target provisions do not apply with respect
to hospitals that have been in operation for less than two full years. Under
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA"), increases in the
Target for fiscal years 1994 through 1997 are generally limited to the
hospital market basket increase minus one percentage point.
 
  In October 1993, HHS, acting through the Health Care Financing
Administration, issued a memorandum to its regional offices directing them to
review carefully Medicare certification requests by long-term care hospitals
operating in space leased from another hospital. The memorandum mandated new
rules for long-term care hospitals to qualify for exclusion from PPS in a
"hospital within a hospital" setting. The new rules require a separate
governing body, separate medical and financial staffs, and 75% or more of the
admissions must be referred from sources other than the "host" hospital. THC
is currently in compliance with the new regulations with no exceptions.
 
  Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement is generally determined from annual cost
reports filed by the Company. These cost reports are subject to audit by
Medicare and Medicaid. The Company has established reserves for possible
adjustments at levels which management believes to be adequate to cover any
downward adjustments resulting from audits of these cost reports.
 
  Federal regulations provide that admission to and utilization of hospitals
by Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed by peer or utilization
review organizations ("PROs") in order to ensure efficient utilization of
hospitals and services. A PRO may conduct such review either prospectively or
retroactively and may, as appropriate, recommend denial of payments upon
admission or retrospectively for services provided to a patient. Such review
is subject to administrative and judicial appeal.
 
 Rate Setting Laws
 
  In recent years various forms of prospective reimbursement legislation have
been proposed or enacted in states in which the Company owns hospitals. For
example, the Company's Florida hospitals are governed by a prospective
reimbursement law which generally allows rate increases based on the Consumer
Price Index. There has been a trend this last fiscal year in many of the
states in which the Company operates psychiatric hospitals, to change to
prospective reimbursement systems based upon data from prior year cost
reports. These prospective rates have had positive and adverse effects on
operations based upon each facility's ability to control costs. As this trend
continues, even in states where the Company does not now have established
hospitals, the decision to acquire or establish psychiatric facilities in such
states will be impacted.
 
 Health Care Reform
 
  During 1995, the focus of health care legislation in Congress has been on
budgetary and related funding mechanism issues. A number of reports, including
the 1995 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Hospital
Insurance Program (Medicare) have projected that the Medicare "trust fund" is
likely to become insolvent by the year 2002 if the current growth rate of
approximately 10% per year in Medicare expenditures continues. Similarly,
federal and state expenditures under the Medicaid program are projected to
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
increase significantly during the same seven-year period. In response to these
projected expenditure increases, and as part of an effort to balance the
federal budget, both the Congress and the Clinton Administration have made
proposals to reduce the rate of increase in projected Medicare and Medicaid
expenditures and to change funding mechanisms and other aspects of both
programs. Congress has passed legislation that would substantially reduce
payments to providers and would make significant changes in the Medicare and
the Medicaid programs. While President Clinton vetoed this bill, the Clinton
Administration has proposed alternate measures to reduce, to a lesser extent,
projected increases in Medicare and Medicaid expenditures. To date neither
proposal has become law.
 
  The Medicare legislation that was adopted by Congress would have, among
other things reduced payments to providers (including the Company), and
created incentives for Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in managed care plans.
Earlier versions of this legislation also contained cost controls effecting
long-term care hospitals, and the Administration's proposal included a
moratorium on the designation of additional medicare long-term care hospitals.
Changes in the Medicaid program would have reduced the number and extent of
federal mandates concerning how state Medicaid programs operate (including
levels of benefits provided and levels of payments to providers) and would
have changed the funding mechanism from a sharing formula between the federal
government and a state to "block grant" funding. The Company cannot predict
the effect of any such legislation, if adopted, on its operations.
 
 Reimbursement Limitations and Cost-Containment
 
  Regardless of the outcome of any proposed health care reform bills, there
will likely continue to be vigorous efforts to effectuate cost savings in the
Medicare program. These efforts could include change in the reimbursement of
the Company's long-term critical care hospitals to the DRG method. In fact,
the conference report accompanying the 1993 OBRA urged prompt completion of a
study of methods to subject hospitals such as THC's to PPS, from which they
are currently exempt. Similar language was introduced in 1995 Legislation, but
not incorporated into the final bill adopted by Congress. Even if cost-based
reimbursement for the THC facilities continues, additional reimbursement
limits may be imposed. Such cost-containment initiatives may vary
substantially from the proposed structural reforms discussed above and may
impact the Company more quickly and directly. Similar changes in reimbursement
of psychiatric services could also adversely impact the Company's business and
results of operations.
 
 Relationships With Physicans and Clinicians
 
  The Company is subject to federal and state laws that regulate its
relationships with physicians and other providers of health care services.
These laws include the Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback statute, under
which criminal penalties can be imposed upon persons who pay or receive any
remuneration in return for referrals of patients for items or services
reimbursed under the Medicare, Medicaid or certain state health care programs.
Violations of this law also result in automatic exclusion from these programs.
The Company is also subject to state and federal laws prohibiting false
claims.
 
  The Department, courts and officials of the Office of Inspector General have
broadly construed the anti-kickback statute. "Safe harbor" regulations
promulgated by the Department define a narrow range of practices that will be
exempted from prosecution or other enforcement action under this statute. To
the extent that offers to pay or payments made are deemed to be for purposes
of inducing referrals and do not satisfy all the criteria for a safe harbor,
the arrangements could be found to violate the anti-kickback laws. Similarly,
state fraud and abuse laws, which vary from state to state, are often vague
and have infrequently been interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. Given
the breadth of these laws and the dearth of court rulings dealing with
businesses like the Company's, there can be no assurance that the Company's
arrangements with its providers will not be challenged. However, the Company
has in place a compliance program, whereby all personnel including clinicians
are required to execute Certificates of Understanding of and compliance with
the CPC Mission and Standards of Business Conduct. Additionally, the evolving
Compliance Program includes the establishment of a "hotline" where all
employees are encouraged to call if they believe there is any illegal conduct
or wrongdoing.
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
  OBRA of 1993 contains provisions ("Stark Act") prohibiting physicians having
a financial relationship with the provider from making referrals for
"designated health services" rendered by the provider which are paid for by
the Medicare or Medicaid programs. These services include radiation therapy
services; durable medical equipment; parenteral and enteral nutrients,
equipment, and supplies; prosthetics, orthotics, and prosthetic devices; home
health services; outpatient prescription drugs; and inpatient and outpatient
hospital services. In addition, if such a financial relationship exists, the
entity is prohibited from billing for or receiving reimbursement on account of
such referral. These provisions took effect January 1, 1995.
 
  Numerous exceptions are allowed under the Stark Act for financial
arrangements that would otherwise trigger the referral prohibitions. These
provide, under certain conditions, exceptions for relationships involving
rental of office space and equipment, employment relationships, personal
service arrangements, payments unrelated to designated services, physician
recruitment, and certain isolated transactions. While the Department has
issued regulations governing physician self-referrals of Medicare patients for
clinical laboratory services, the Department has not yet issued regulations
pertaining to referrals involving the other designated health services.
 
  The Company has contracts with physicians to provide hospital services and
in some instances patient services. These contracts have been revised to meet
the requirements of the Stark Act. However, until final regulations are
promulgated or the contracts are otherwise tested, there can be no assurance
that the contracts, or other applicable policies of the Company, will be found
to be in compliance with the Stark Act.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
  This item incorporates by reference the tables of psychiatric and long-term
critical care hospital and dialysis facility locations set forth in Item 1.
Ownership information is set forth in the text of this item.
 
 U.S. Psychiatric Hospital Properties
 
  The Company operated 35 hospitals in the U.S. psychiatric division until
November 1995 when the Company discontinued psychiatric operations at six of
these facilities. One additional psychiatric hospital was closed in January of
1996.
 
  The Company owns, in fee simple, all of the real property on which its acute
psychiatric hospital facilities are located except for one facility where the
Company is a joint venture partner.
 
  The Company's existing hospital facilities range in size from 36,000 to
100,000 square feet and each psychiatric facility has sufficient acreage to
allow space for outdoor recreation. All of the existing hospital buildings
meet all state and local requirements for licensing as hospitals to provide
the services indicated. Six facilities are being held for sale. The Company
has entered into an agreement to sell one additional facility in March of
1996.
 
  As of November 30, 1995, one of the above-described facilities was shared
with THC. As of November 30, 1995, the Company was in the process of
converting two other previously shared facilities into dedicated long-term
critical care facilities.
 
  The Company has four separate mortgage loans with lenders, each of which is
secured by one of the Company's hospitals.
 
 Other Properties
 
  The Company leases office space for its Corporate office in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The leases for this space aggregate approximately 22,000 square feet
of office space with lease terms that expire in August 1996. The Company is
currently building a new Corporate office which will be situated on the campus
of the THC Las Vegas Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. THC Las Vegas will utilize
a portion of this new building for administrative offices which will provide
space within the existing hospital to be converted to direct patient care
utilized space.
 
  The Company also owns a three-story building completed in 1988 used for a
portion of its Corporate headquarters; medical office buildings adjacent to 13
of its hospital facilities; three parcels of land for potential
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
hospital development or future sale, two parcels of land being developed for
sale for investment purposes (non-hospital related), and one apartment in a
location central to the Company's operations for use by employees whose duties
require them to travel.
 
 United Kingdom Psychiatric Hospital Properties
 
  The Company owns the real property for 12 of its psychiatric hospitals. The
real property of one hospital is owned as approximately one-half in fee simple
and one-half leasehold. The Company also owns, in fee simple, one clinic
specializing in the treatment of substance abuse. The Company leases one of
its psychiatric hospitals. The Company operates two dialysis centers and a
secure psychiatric facility from buildings located on National Health Service
properties. All of the Company's existing facilities range in size from one-
half acre to 24 acres.
 
 THC Properties
 
  The Company owns, in fee simple, the real property for 13 of its long-term
critical care facilities. The Company also leases one long-term critical care
facility. All of the Company's facilities are located on sites ranging from
one to forty-two acres. As of November 30, 1995, THC operated one unit within
one of the Company's psychiatric hospitals.
 
  The Company currently occupies an unused medical office building on the
campus of a CPC psychiatric facility in Atlanta for its THC eastern regional
office in Atlanta, Georgia.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  On September 28, 1995, the Company reached an agreement to settle certain
consolidated securities class action lawsuits and a related shareholder
derivative action. During the third and fourth quarter of 1995, the Company
recorded charges totalling $46.0 million ($28.9 million after tax) relating to
settlement of the lawsuits and associated legal fees and expenses. The suits,
filed in late 1991, alleged violations of the federal securities laws by the
Company and certain individuals between September 1990 and November 1991
arising from the activities of the U.S. Psychiatric Division.
 
  The principal terms of the agreement call for a settlement amount of $42.5
million consisting of a cash settlement fund of $21.25 million and the
Company's common stock with an expected value of $21.25 million. The cash
amount, plus interest, was paid in November 1995. The shares to be issued to
the plaintiff class were previously repurchased by the Company pursuant to a
stock buyback program during late 1991 through early 1993. The number of
shares of common stock to be issued will be equal to $21.25 million divided by
the average market value of the common stock over a 10-day trading period
prior to the distribution of shares to settle claims, provided that in any
event the minimum number of shares that will be issued is 1,931,818 and the
maximum number of shares that will be issued is 3,035,714. The maximum limits
would be triggered if the average market value of the common stock is at $7
per share or below. Upon issuance, these shares will have a dilutive effect on
earnings per share. The agreement is subject to final court approval.
 
  While these cases allege actions taken before present management was in
place, management continues to believe that the claims asserted in the
shareholder suits lack merit. Nevertheless, the Company believed that it was
prudent to settle these cases due to the continuing substantial costs of
defense, the distraction of management's attention and the risks associated
with litigation.
 
  On August 17, 1995 the Company reported developments pertaining to CPC
Southwind Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which is operated by the
Company's subsidiary, CPC Oklahoma, Inc. The first was the filing of a
whistleblower suit against CPC Oklahoma, Inc. under the Federal False Claims
Act, and the second concerned the seizure of certain of Southwind's records
pursuant to a search warrant. On January 19, 1996, the Government filed an
amended complaint alleging that Southwind Hospital submitted false claims to
various federally-funded health care programs. The amended complaint contained
an attached schedule of claims covering periods from 1990 through mid-1992.
Since the service of the original complaint, Southwind Hospital has provided
information to the Government on numerous issues based on internal review. The
Company is currently in the process of reviewing the amended complaint.
Management is presently unable to evaluate the potential impact of the suit on
the Company.
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
  The Company is subject to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its
business, including those arising from patient treatment, injuries or death
for which it is covered by liability insurance, and those arising from actions
involving employees. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of such
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the selected
financial data on the preceding page, the consolidated financial statements
and the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 8.
 
 Restructuring Charges (Credits)
 
  Effective February 28, 1993, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $55.0
million ($35.0 million after tax) in connection with the decision to close
seven of its U.S. psychiatric hospitals. The charge comprised $35.3 million to
write down buildings and other fixed assets, $2.1 million to write off
intangibles, $14.4 million for future operating losses of the seven hospitals
and related corporate restructuring costs associated with terminating
employees, and $3.2 million for additional accounts receivable allowances at
the seven hospitals. Six of the restructured hospitals have ceased operations.
The seventh hospital returned to operating status effective March 1, 1994.
This facility was subsequently closed in November 1995 (see discussion below).
Of the six closed hospitals, five have been sold and one has been converted
into a long-term critical care hospital operated by the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, THC. The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $5.0
million and $5.3 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 1994 and the
second and third quarters of 1995 from the sale of the five hospitals. The
Company continues to hold property for sale with a remaining book value of $.3
million that was part of the 1993 restructuring.
 
  Effective February 28, 1994, the Company recorded a restructuring credit
totalling $7.2 million ($4.3 million after tax) from the resolution of the
previously restructured psychiatric assets. The restructuring credit resulted
from the Company's success in controlling hospital closure costs and in
divesting one of its restructured properties at a higher price than the 1993
writedown of the facility anticipated.
 
  Effective February 28, 1994, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$6.3 million ($3.8 million after tax) in connection with the decision to close
three additional psychiatric facilities. The charge comprised $2.2 million for
future operating losses, $1.5 million for restructuring costs associated with
terminating employees and $2.6 million for additional accounts receivable
allowances and reserves for other assets at the three hospitals. Approximately
225 employees of the restructured hospitals were terminated. Amounts charged
against the reserve for estimated operating losses and termination benefits
paid approximated amounts originally accrued. Total revenue and net operating
income or (loss) for the three closed hospitals totalled $2.8 million and
($1.1 million) for the first quarter of 1994, $20 million and $.6 million for
fiscal year 1993, and $23.5 million and $2.3 million for fiscal year 1992. Of
the three closed hospitals, one is being held for sale, one was converted into
a THC facility after the restructuring, and one was converted into a satellite
hospital of a THC facility in September 1995.
 
  Effective May 31, 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring credit
totalling $2.5 million ($1.5 million after tax) from the resolution of
previously restructured psychiatric assets. The restructuring credit resulted
from divesting two restructured properties at higher prices than the 1993
writedown of the facilities anticipated and the Company's success in
collecting accounts receivable balances that were reserved for as part of the
February 28, 1994 restructuring charge.
 
  Effective November 30, 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring charge
totalling $4.6 million ($2.8 million after tax), determined in accordance with
the provisions of the January 1995 Financial Accounting Standards Board
Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs incurred in a Restructuring)", ("EITF 94-3"), in
connection with the decision to close six psychiatric facilities and three
regional offices. EITF 94-3 requires the accrual of certain employee
termination costs and costs resulting from a plan to exit an activity that are
not associated with or that do not benefit activities that will continue and
prohibits accrual of expected future operating losses of the activity exited.
The charge comprised $3.4 million for employee termination benefits related to
hospital operations and overhead personnel and $1.2 million for non-cancelable
operating leases and other exit costs. Approximately 314 hospital employees
and 65 corporate and regional employees were
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
terminated. To date, amounts charged against the reserve for employee
termination benefits paid approximated amounts accrued. Net operating revenue
and net operating income or (loss) for the six closed hospitals totalled $28.5
million and ($2.8 million) for fiscal year 1995, $40.9 million and $2.1
million for fiscal year 1994, and $38.3 million and $6.9 million for fiscal
year 1993. Of the six closed hospitals, three are being held for sale, two
will become fully converted THC hospitals, and one has been exchanged for a
similar building held by another health care provider and will be converted
into a THC facility.
 
  Management continually reviews all facilities to evaluate potential
closures, divestitures or conversions. Management may elect to close
additional psychiatric facilities in the future which could result in
additional charges to income for the costs necessary to exit the hospital
operations.
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
  In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company elected early
adoption of the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("FAS
121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of". The statement requires impairment losses to be
recognized for long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to
recover the assets' carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by
comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. The statement
also requires that assets to be disposed of should be written down to fair
value less selling costs. The adoption of FAS 121 resulted in the Company
recording impairment losses of $46.0 million (see Note 3 to the financial
statements for further discussion).
 
  In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("FAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which becomes
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 123
establishes new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
compensation plans. Entities will be allowed to measure compensation expense
for stock-based compensation under FAS 123 or APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities electing to remain with the
accounting in APB Opinion No. 25 will be required to make pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the provisions of FAS
123 had been applied. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
Statement. The potential impact on the Company of adopting the new standard
has not been quantified at this time. The Company must adopt FAS 123 no later
than December 1, 1996.
 
 Sources of Revenue
 
  For fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, approximately 37%, 28%, and 19% of
the Company's net revenues were paid by Medicare which based reimbursement on
the Company's costs (except for THC hospitals in their first six months of
operations which are reimbursed based on DRG rates). Medicare reimbursement as
a percentage of total revenues has increased over the past three years as THC
has grown significantly over that period of time. Net Medicare revenue for THC
was 72%, 69%, and 77% of total THC net revenue during 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
 
  For fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, approximately 11%, 13%, and 16% of
the Company's net revenue was derived from Medicaid with varying rates from
state to state. Net revenue totalling 27%, 33%, and 30% was based upon
negotiated rates with payors such as managed care companies, health
maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. The Company
expects the number of patients enrolled in managed care plans to grow in the
future. Approximately 16%, 19%, and 30% of the Company's net revenues for
1995, 1994, and 1993 were derived from private sources and insurance companies
which based reimbursement on the Company's price schedule. The Company
believes that revenues form private sources will continue to decline in the
future as purchasers of health care services continue to shift coverage to
managed care plans.
 
  For fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, approximately 4%, 4%, and 5% of the
Company's revenues came from CHAMPUS, a federal government program which bases
reimbursement generally on a regional average rate. Approximately 5% (3% in
1994) of the Company's 1995 net revenue was derived from government sources in
the United Kingdom.
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
  Net revenues for the Psychiatric Division are subject to material seasonal
variations each year during the summer months of the third quarter and around
major holidays such as Christmas during the first quarter.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
  At November 30, 1995, cash and cash equivalents were $17.3 million and total
working capital was $115.3 million. Net cash provided from operating
activities decreased from $16.4 million in 1994 to $6.0 million in 1995. The
decrease is primarily attributable to cash paid to settle the securities
lawsuit in fiscal year 1995 of $23.7 million offset by positive cash flows
from operating activities. Net accounts receivable balances increased $10.6
million in 1995 as compared to $23.1 million during 1994. The main reason for
the increase in accounts receivable during 1995 is the increased revenue
generated by THC. Consolidated days revenue in accounts receivable were 84,
79, and 84 days at November 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
 
  The Company's current ratio in 1995, 1994, and 1993 was 2.4, 2.4, and 2.7,
respectively. The Company's ratio of long-term debt to total equity at
November 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 was 21.3%, 15.7%, and 9.6%, respectively.
The increase in long-term debt is due to additional proceeds received from
revolving credit facilities in the amount of $39.2 million during fiscal year
1995.
 
  Proceeds from revolving credit facilities were used to pay off $10.8 million
of 8 1/2% subordinated guaranteed debentures that were due on March 1, 1995. A
$.01 dividend ($.4 million) was paid to shareholders in redemption of all
preferred share rights outstanding under the Shareholder Rights Agreement
dated as of February 1, 1989.
 
  Purchases of fixed assets totalled $40.1 million in 1995. This amount
included $5.8 million for a new office that the Company is building on the
campus of the THC Las Vegas Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. This building and
its parking structure will provide additional administrative offices, dining
facilities and parking for the hospital as well as be the new location for the
corporate office. In the second quarter of 1995, the Company acquired for $5.8
million, the land, building, and fixed assets for a THC facility that has been
managed by THC since May of 1994. The Company also acquired two facilities in
the United Kingdom for $3.3 million in 1995. Capital expenditures for 1996 are
estimated to be $20.3 million for THC, $15.1 million for the U.K. Psychiatric
Division, $11.0 million for the U.S. Psychiatric Division, and $6.1 million
for the new corporate office building.
 
  During fiscal year 1995, proceeds totalling $5.3 million were received from
the sale of three hospitals that were closed in 1993. The Company received net
cash proceeds of approximately $5 million in January and February of 1994 from
the sale of two closed facilities. The Company also received approximately
$2.3 million in cash proceeds from three sales of vacant land during 1994.
 
  In January 1992, the Board of Directors authorized the expenditure of up to
$50.0 million of cash on hand for the repurchase of the Company's common stock
from time-to-time in the open market. As of November 30, 1992, the Company had
purchased 2,890,000 shares for $31.1 million, including 451,000 at market
value from the former chairman, under that authorization. Through November 30,
1993, an additional 85,000 shares were repurchased for $0.8 million. No common
stock was repurchased in fiscal years 1995 or 1994.
 
  The Company has a $25.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of
America National Trust and Savings Association ("BofA"). At November 30, 1995,
$25.0 million has been borrowed under this facility. The Company was able to
borrow up to $25 million through November 30, 1995 (the revolving loan
period), at which time the amount outstanding was converted into a term loan
payable in equal quarterly installments through November 30, 1998. The
Company's subsidiary in the United Kingdom has a credit facility whereby the
Company is allowed to borrow up to $15 million. At November 30, 1995,
approximately $15 million was outstanding under this facility. On May 6, 1994,
the Company entered into an additional revolving credit facility with BofA for
$50 million. As of November 30, 1995, $50 million was outstanding under this
facility. Any amount outstanding under this facility is due and payable on
February 28, 1997. The Company believes that its current cash and cash
equivalent balances, its operating cash flow, and its ability to borrow
additional funds will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and
capital expenditures through the end of fiscal 1996. The Company is presently
evaluating proposals for additional funding from other financing sources.
Additional

funding sources will be needed to support further expansion of THC and the
United Kingdom psychiatric division and to repay outstanding borrowings under
the credit facilities.
 
 Operating Results
 
  The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma income statement
data for the years ended November 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 and excludes the
restructuring charge and the operating results for the three hospitals
restructured in the first quarter of 1994, the restructuring charge and
credits recorded in both 1994 and 1995, as well as the impairment loss and
settlement costs that were recorded in 1995. The data presented below may not
be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the
restructurings actually occurred on the date assumed. In the opinion of
management, this data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of
the data set forth therein.

 Fiscal Year 1995 Compared to Fiscal Year 1994
 
  The following discussion excludes the restructuring charge and the operating
results for the three hospitals restructured in the first quarter of 1994, the
restructuring charge and credits recorded in both 1994 and 1995, as well as
the impairment loss and settlement costs that were recorded in 1995.
 
  Net operating revenues increased by approximately 20% from $422.4 million
for the year ended November 30, 1994 to $506.7 million for the year ended
November 30, 1995, the highest amount in the Company's history. The largest
portion of this increase was a $93.9 million increase in THC revenue from
$101.0 million in fiscal year 1994 to $194.9 million in fiscal year 1995.
THC's same-store admissions and patient days increased 62.3% and 82.6%,
respectively.
 
  Net operating revenues from the United States psychiatric hospitals
decreased by 9.7% or approximately $26.7 million as a result of a 11.5%
decrease in adjusted patient days offset by a 2.0% increase in net revenue per
patient day. Net revenue per patient day increased as favorable Medicare and
Medicaid cost report settlements exceeded prior year amounts by approximately
$2 million in the current year. Adjusted patient days declined primarily due
to the continuing decline in the average length of a patient's stay.
 
  Net operating revenues from the Company's United Kingdom operations
increased by 37.0% or approximately $17.1 million as a result of an increase
in same-store patient days of 15.6% and a 5.6% increase in average net revenue
per patient day. The remaining portion of the increase in net operating
revenue relates to additional patient days generated by three new facilities
that started operations subsequent to the third quarter of 1994.
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
  Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of net operating revenues to
76.0% in the year ended November 30, 1995 from 77.3% in the year ended
November 30, 1994. A higher percentage of THC's total costs are now being
reimbursed because an increased number of THC hospitals have received
certification for cost-based reimbursement under Medicare during fiscal year
1995 compared to fiscal year 1994. THC hospitals incur significant start up
losses because they are not entitled to cost based reimbursement for Medicare
patients until they are certified as long-term care hospitals. Pending such
certification, these start up hospitals are reimbursed under the Medicare
Prospective Payment System which does not pay the full cost of treating
Medicare patients with the severity of illness treated at THC facilities. Of
the 14 hospitals in operation during fiscal year 1995, 13 were certified as
long-term care hospitals and therefore received cost-based reimbursement under
Medicare, whereas at the same time in 1994, 13 facilities were in operation
and 11 had been open long enough to receive their long-term care hospital
certification. In addition, 11 facilities completed their TEFRA (the Tax
Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982) rate setting period during the
current year and are now eligible for an additional incentive payment if their
costs are less than the targeted rate per discharge.
 
  General and administrative expenses increased $5.7 million and decreased as
a percentage of net operating revenues to 7.8% in 1995 from 8.0% in 1994. The
increase in general and administrative expenses relates primarily to the fact
that the Company has centralized functions at the corporate office such as
central billing offices for the U.S. psychiatric division and THC as well as
added increased reimbursement support. The Company also completed the
installation of its new computer system in early 1995 and began incurring
costs to support the new system beginning in the second quarter of 1995. All
of these functions support the daily operations of the Company's hospitals.
Also, additional Corporate administrative functions have been added to
specifically support the expanded THC and United Kingdom operations.
 
  Bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenue was 5.7% for the
year ended November 30, 1995 compared to 6.3% for the year ended November 30,
1994. Bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues for THC has
decreased from 5.6% in fiscal 1994 to 1.4% in fiscal 1995. Beginning in the
middle of fiscal year 1994, the Company strengthened controls over admissions,
insurance verification, and billing for THC revenues. The implementation of
these controls has resulted in a decrease in uncollectible accounts and bad
debt expense.
 
  Bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues for the U.S.
Psychiatric Division increased from 7.3% in 1994 to 10.3% in 1995. A portion
of the increase relates to the fact that collections have slowed from certain
State Medicaid programs that have converted to managed care initiatives in
1995. In addition the Company moved 11 psychiatric hospitals to a central
billing office late in the fourth quarter of 1994 and in the first quarter of
1995 which also contributed to the slowdown in billings and collections and
higher bad debt expense. The Company anticipates future increases in bad debt
expense due to decreased annual and lifetime psychiatric maximum payment
limits for individual patients and increased deductibles and co-insurance.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense increased from 4.4% of net operating
revenue in 1994 to 4.6% of net operating revenue in 1995 primarily due to an
increased number of facilities at THC and in the United Kingdom.
 
  Other income decreased primarily due to the fact that the prior year
included $2.0 million of gains on the sale of land that did not occur in the
current year.
 
  Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased due to an increase
in borrowings during fiscal year 1995.
 
  The decrease in the effective tax rate from 40.5% to 38.2% is primarily due
to a reduction in the net operating loss valuation reserve for THC operating
loss carryforwards that have been realized in the current year and those that
are expected to be realized in future years.
 
  For the reasons described above, earnings before depreciation, amortization,
interest, other income and income taxes for the year ended November 30, 1995
increased from $34.7 million in fiscal year 1994 to $53.7 million in fiscal
year 1995.

 Fiscal Year 1994 Compared to Fiscal Year 1993
 
  The following discussion excludes the restructuring charges and operating
results of the hospitals that were closed in 1994 and 1993.
 
  Net operating revenues for the year ended November 30, 1994 increased by
approximately 35.7% to $422.4 million from $311.2 million for the prior year.
This increase was due primarily to the addition of $82.9 million of THC revenue
in 1994 compared to 1993.
 
  Net operating revenues from the United States psychiatric hospitals increased
by 6.1% or approximately $15.9 million as a result of a 10.7% increase in
adjusted patient days to 613,025 from 553,560 which was partially offset by a
decrease in the net revenue per adjusted patient day. The increase in adjusted
patient days was due in large part to (i) a 37.0% increase in residential
treatment patient days to 142,661 from 104,147 and (ii) a 37.8% increase in
partial hospitalization visits to 148,340 from 107,687. The increase in
adjusted patient days offset the 9.6% decrease in average length of stay. The
decrease in net revenue per adjusted patient day was the result of the
continuing shift in reimbursement to negotiated rates and cost-based
reimbursement from private pay.
 
  Net operating revenues from the Company's United Kingdom operations increased
by 36.3% or approximately $12.3 million as a result of a 34.8% increase in
inpatient days and a slight increase in average length of stay and net revenue
per adjusted patient day. The Company's United Kingdom operations benefitted
from the acquisition of one new hospital in the first quarter of 1994 and one
new hospital in the fourth quarter of 1994.
 
  Operating expenses as a percentage of net operating revenues increased to
77.3% from 75.5% in the year ended November 30, 1994 compared to the prior
year. This increase was primarily attributable to expenses incurred in
connection with the expansion of the Company's THC operations.
 
  General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net
operating revenues from 8.6% to 8.0% due to cost-containment programs
implemented during the middle of 1993, which included the reduction of
personnel and other overhead. During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company
implemented further reductions in its overhead by further reducing the number
of overhead personnel. During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company incurred
approximately $1 million in moving costs and severance pay related to the
relocation of its Corporate office from Laguna Hills, California to Las Vegas,
Nevada.
 
  Bad debt expense increased as a percentage of net operating revenues to 6.3%
in 1994 from 6.2% in 1993. The U. S. Psychiatric Division incurred specific
provisions for bad debt expense of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, in
the third and fourth quarters of 1994 related to temporary interruptions in
Medicare reimbursements to partial hospitalization providers in California. The
Company anticipates future increases in bad debt expense due to decreased
annual and lifetime psychiatric maximum payment limits for individual patients
and increased deductibles and co-insurance.
 
  Other income increased due to gains on the sale of three parcels of land
totalling approximately $2.0 million.
 
  Depreciation and amortization increased mainly due to the increase in
operating facilities at THC from seven as of November 30, 1993 to 13 as of
November 30, 1994.
 
  Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased due to the increase
in long-term debt.
 
  Income taxes (benefit) as a percentage of pre-tax income (loss) was 40.5%
compared to (35.4%) in 1993.
 
  For the reasons described above, earnings before depreciation, amortization,
interest, and income taxes for the twelve months ended November 30, 1994
increased by approximately 15.3% to $34.7 million from $30.1 million in the
prior year period and net earnings increased to $10.2 million from $9.9 million
compared to the prior year period.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
 
  The information in response to this item is incorporated by reference from
Exhibit 1 in Item 14.
 
ITEM 9. CHANGE IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
 
  The Board of Directors of the Company approved on September 28, 1995 the
dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP and the engagement of Price Waterhouse LLP as
the independent accountants of the Company for the fiscal year ending November
30, 1995, effective September 29, 1995, based on the recommendation of the
Company's Audit Committee.
 
  The reports of Ernst & Young for the fiscal years ended November 30, 1993 and
1994 contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or
modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
  During the fiscal years ended November 30, 1993 and 1994 and the interim
period from December 1, 1994 through September 29, 1995, the date of dismissal,
there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Ernst & Young would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with its report. No event described in paragraph
(a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K occurred during the Company's fiscal
years ended November 30, 1993 or 1994, or the period from December 1, 1994
through September 29, 1995, except that Ernst & Young advised management and
the Board of Directors in a letter dated January 28, 1994, that, in connection
with the audit of the Company's 1993 fiscal year its representatives had
identified certain matters involving the internal control structure of the
Company's subsidiary, Transitional Hospitals Corporation and its operations
which Ernst & Young considered to be material weaknesses as defined under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. Ernst & Young further stated in that letter that these conditions
were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures
performed in their audit for the Company's 1993 fiscal year. Ernst & Young's
letter to the Board of Directors dated January 27, 1995 issued in conjunction
with the audit of the Company's 1994 fiscal year stated that they noted no
matters involving the internal control structure and its operations that they
considered to be material weaknesses as defined under standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Community Psychiatric Centers
 
  In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Community Psychiatric Centers and its subsidiaries at November 30, 1995 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.
 
  As discussed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
in 1995.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                          NOVEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
 
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
  The Company provides long-term critical care services to patients suffering
from long-term complex medical problems in the United States. The Company also
provides psychiatric services in the United States and United Kingdom. The
Company currently offers a broad spectrum of services including inpatient,
partial hospitalization, outpatient and residential treatment programs.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Those highly liquid
assets with a maturity of more than three months are classified as short-term
investments.
 
PROPERTY, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
 
  Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated
useful lives of fixed assets of 31.5 to 40 years for buildings and three to
ten years for furniture and equipment.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
  Intangible assets consist mainly of goodwill, which represents the excess of
investment in subsidiaries over the fair value of net assets acquired from
acquisitions. Goodwill acquired in acquisitions prior to fiscal year 1995 is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The amortization
period for goodwill acquired in 1995 is 20 years. The Company also has
intangible assets related to covenants not to compete with two former Chairmen
of the Board of Directors. The covenants are amortized over the life of the
agreements (see Note 9).
 
  The Company monitors changes in circumstances that could indicate that the
carrying amounts of intangible assets may not be recoverable. When events or
changes in circumstances are present that indicate the carrying amount of
intangible assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the
recoverability of the asset by determining whether the carrying amount will be
recovered through future expected cash flows. The Company recorded an
impairment loss of approximately $9.7 million related to intangible assets in
1995 (see Note 3).
 
PREOPENING COSTS
 
  Costs incurred prior to the opening of new facilities are deferred and
amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.
 
CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST
 
  Interest incurred in connection with development and construction of
hospitals is capitalized as part of the related property.

NET OPERATING REVENUES
 
  Net operating revenues include amounts for hospital services estimated by
management to be reimbursable by federal and state government programs
(Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS); managed care programs (managed care
companies, health maintenance organizations and preferred provider
organizations) and private pay payors (private sources and insurance companies
which base reimbursement on the Company's price schedule).
 
  The following table summarizes the percent of net operating revenue
generated from all payors.

</TABLE>
 
  Amounts received are generally less than the established billing rates of
the Company and the difference is reported as a contractual allowance and
deducted from operating revenues. Final determination of amounts earned for
hospital services is subject to audit by the payors. In the opinion of
management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may
result from such audits. Differences between estimated provisions and final
settlement are reflected as charges and credits to operating revenues in the
year the audit reports are finalized. In the current year, the Company
received approximately $5.5 million in excess of recorded amounts related to
prior year Medicare settlements. These amounts are included in operating
revenue.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and short-term
investments and receivables from government programs.
 
  The Company maintains cash equivalents and short-term investments with
various financial institutions. The Company's policy is designed to limit
exposure to any one institution. The Company performs periodic evaluations of
the relative credit standing to those financial institutions that are
considered in the Company's investment strategy. The Company and management do
not believe that there are any significant credit risks associated with
receivables from governmental programs. Negotiated and private receivables
consist of receivables from various payors, including individuals involved in
diverse activities, subject to differing economic conditions, and do not
represent any concentrated credit risks to the Company. Furthermore,
management continually monitors and adjusts its reserves and allowances
associated with these receivables.
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
  Proceeds from the exercise of stock options are credited to common stock, to
the extent of par value, and the balance to additional paid-in capital, except
when shares held in the treasury are issued. The difference between the cost
of the treasury stock and the option price is charged or credited to
additional paid-in capital. No charges or credits are made to earnings with
respect to options granted or exercised. Income tax benefits derived from
exercise of non-incentive stock options and from sales of stock obtained from
incentive stock options before the minimum holding period are credited to
additional paid-in capital.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
  Earnings (loss) per share have been computed based upon the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Dilutive common
stock equivalents have not been included in the computation of earnings (loss)
per share because the aggregate potential dilution resulting therefrom is less
than 3%.
 
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
 
  The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB Statement No. 52. All
balance sheet accounts have been translated at year-end exchange rates.
Statements of earnings amounts have been translated at the average exchange
rate for the year. The resulting currency translation adjustments were made
directly to a separate component of Stockholders' Equity. The effect on the
statement of earnings of translation gains and losses is insignificant for all
years presented.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company elected to adopt
early the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("FAS 121"),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of". The statement requires impairment losses to be recognized
for long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the
assets' carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair
value of the asset to its carrying amount. The statement also requires that
assets to be disposed of should be written down to fair value less selling
costs. The adoption of FAS 121 resulted in the Company recording impairment
losses of $46.0 million (see Note 3 to the financial statements for further
discussion).
 
  In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("FAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which becomes
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 123
establishes new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
compensation plans. Entities will be allowed to measure compensation expense
for stock-based compensation under FAS 123 or APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities electing to remain with the
accounting in APB Opinion No. 25 will be required to make pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the provisions of FAS
123 had been applied. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
Statement. The potential impact on the Company of adopting the new standard
has not been quantified at this time. The Company must adopt FAS 123 no later
than December 1, 1996.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
  Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1995 presentations.
 
NOTE 2--RESTRUCTURING CHARGES (CREDITS)
 
  Effective February 28, 1993, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $55.0
million ($35.0 million after tax) in connection with the decision to close
seven of its U.S. psychiatric hospitals. The charge comprised $35.3 million to
write down buildings and other fixed assets, $2.1 million to write off
intangibles, $14.4 million for future operating losses of the seven hospitals
and related corporate restructuring costs associated with terminating
employees, and $3.2 million for additional accounts receivable allowances at
the seven hospitals. Six of the restructured hospitals have ceased operations.
The seventh hospital returned to operating status effective March 1, 1994.
This facility was subsequently closed in November 1995 (see discussion below).
Of the six closed hospitals, five have been sold and one has been converted
into a long-term critical care hospital

operated by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, THC. The Company received
cash proceeds of approximately $5.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in
the first quarter of 1994 and the second and third quarters of 1995 from the
sale of the five hospitals. The Company continues to hold property for sale
with a remaining book value of $.3 million that was part of the 1993
restructuring.
 
  Effective February 28, 1994, the Company recorded a restructuring credit
totalling $7.2 million ($4.3 million after tax) from the resolution of the
previously restructured psychiatric assets. The restructuring credit resulted
from the Company's success in controlling hospital closure costs and in
divesting one of its restructured properties at a higher price than the 1993
writedown of the facility anticipated.
 
  Effective February 28, 1994, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$6.3 million ($3.8 million after tax) in connection with the decision to close
three additional psychiatric facilities. The charge comprised $2.2 million for
future operating losses, $1.5 million for restructuring costs associated with
terminating employees and $2.6 million for additional accounts receivable
allowances and reserves for other assets at the three hospitals. Approximately
225 employees of the restructured hospitals were terminated. Amounts charged
against the reserve for estimated operating losses and termination benefits
paid approximated amounts originally accrued. Total revenue and net operating
income or (loss) for the three closed hospitals totalled $2.8 million and
($1.1 million) for the first quarter of 1994, $20 million and $.6 million for
fiscal year 1993, and $23.5 million and $2.3 million for fiscal year 1992. Of
the three closed hospitals, one is being held for sale (carrying value of $1.5
million), one was converted into a THC facility after the restructuring, and
one was converted into a satellite hospital of a THC facility in September
1995.
 
  Effective May 31, 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring credit
totalling $2.5 million ($1.5 million after tax) from the resolution of
previously restructured psychiatric assets. The restructuring credit resulted
from divesting two restructured properties at higher prices than the 1993
writedown of the facilities anticipated and the Company's success in
collecting accounts receivable balances that were reserved for as part of the
February 28, 1994 restructuring charge.
 
  Effective November 30, 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring charge
totalling $4.6 million ($2.8 million after tax), determined in accordance with
the provisions of the January 1995 Financial Accounting Standards Board
Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs incurred in a Restructuring)", ("EITF 94-3"), in
connection with the decision to close six psychiatric facilities and three
regional offices. EITF 94-3 requires the accrual of certain employee
termination costs and costs resulting from a plan to exit an activity that are
not associated with or that do not benefit activities that will continue and
prohibits accrual of expected future operating losses of the activity exited.
The charge comprised $3.4 million for employee termination benefits related to
hospital operations and overhead personnel and $1.2 million for non-cancelable
operating leases and other exit costs. Approximately 314 hospital employees
and 65 corporate and regional employees were terminated. To date, amounts
charged against the reserve for employee termination benefits paid
approximated amounts accrued. Net operating revenue and net operating income
or (loss) for the six closed hospitals totalled $28.5 million and ($2.8
million) for fiscal year 1995, $40.9 million and $2.1 million for fiscal year
1994, and $38.3 million and $6.9 million for fiscal year 1993. Of the six
closed hospitals, three are being held for sale, two will become fully
converted THC hospitals, and one will be exchanged for a similar building held
by another health care provider and will be converted into a THC facility.
 
  Management continually reviews all facilities to evaluate potential
closures, divestitures or conversions. Management may elect to close
additional psychiatric facilities in the future which could result in
additional charges to income for the costs necessary to exit the hospital
operations.

NOTE 3--IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
 
  In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company elected early
adoption of the provisions of FASB Statement 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".
The statement requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets' carrying
amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the
asset to its carrying amount. The statement also requires that assets to be
disposed of should be written down to fair value less selling costs. Based on
a comparison of the recorded values of long-lived assets (defined as land,
buildings, fixed assets and goodwill) against the expected future cash flows
to be generated by the assets of three U.S. Psychiatric facilities that were
closed in November 1995 as well as three U.S. Psychiatric facilities which
have experienced recent declines in operating performance, and after applying
the principles of measurement contained in the Statement, the Company recorded
an asset impairment charge of approximately $26.5 million. Using the same
principles as described above, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge
of approximately $5.3 million on land that is being held for sale. The closed
facilities as well as the land held for sale are classified as assets held for
sale with a carrying value of $13.7 million after the impairment writedown.
All assets held for sale pertain to the U.S. Psychiatric Division.
 
  The Company completed its installation of a new computer system in the first
quarter of 1995. As several of the promised applications did not function as
specified, an impairment loss of approximately $8.1 million ($6.8 million
related to the U.S. Psychiatric Division and $1.3 million related to THC) was
recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995 to write down a portion of the total
cost of the system. The Company also shortened the estimated useful life of
the system to two years in anticipation of implementing a new alternative.
 
  In November of 1995, the Company closed Harvard Medical Limited, a patient
liaison business in West Germany due to recent declines in operating
performance. Based on these factors, the Company recorded an impairment loss
of $4.1 million to write off the goodwill related to this Company.
 
NOTE 4--ACQUISITIONS
 
  During 1995, the Company acquired two hospitals in the United Kingdom for
$3.3 million. The Company also purchased for $5.8 million, the land, building,
and fixed assets for a THC facility that had been managed by THC since May of
1994. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of these assets
totalled $.5 million and is being amortized over 20 years.
 
  During 1994, the Company acquired two hospitals in the United Kingdom for a
total purchase price of $5.7 million.
 
  During 1993, the Company acquired six buildings and the related fixed assets
and modified the buildings into six long-term critical care facilities. Total
consideration paid was $33.0 million. The Company also acquired a substance
abuse center in the United Kingdom for a purchase price of $4.3 million.
 
  The aggregate total costs of the acquisitions in fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1994
exceeded the fair value of the assets acquired by approximately $5.3 million.
The excess is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 40-year period.
 
  The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the
results of operations of the acquired facilities have been included in the
consolidated statement of earnings since the date of acquisition. The results
of operations of the acquired businesses prior to the date of acquisition were
not material to the consolidated financial statements.

  During May 1994, the Company, Transitional Hospitals Corporation (THC--the
Company's wholly-owned long-term care subsidiary) and Bank of America National
Trust and Savings Association ("the Bank") entered into a credit agreement
("the Agreement") whereby the Company or THC may borrow, repay and reborrow up
to $50 million through February 28, 1997. Interest is payable at LIBOR plus
2.75% through February 28, 1995. Interest through February 28, 1997 is payable
at LIBOR plus 1-2%, based on calculated ratios as documented in the Agreement.
As of November 30, 1995, $50 million is outstanding under this Agreement.
 
  During September 1993, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("the
Agreement") whereby the Company was able to borrow up to $25 million through
November 30, 1995 (the revolving loan period), at which time the amount
outstanding was converted into a term loan payable in equal quarterly
installments through November 30, 1998. Interest is payable at the lesser of
(1) LIBOR plus 1.25% during the revolving loan period and LIBOR plus 1.50%
during the term loan period or (2) the greater of (a) the Bank's reference
rate or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus .5%. As of November 30, 1995, $25 million
is outstanding under this Agreement.
 
  During October 1993, the Company's subsidiary in the United Kingdom entered
into a temporary revolving credit facility whereby the Company was allowed to
borrow up to $7.5 million through December 31, 1993. Interest was to be
calculated at the rate of interest at which sterling pounds deposits would be
offered to major banks in the London interbank market, plus 1.25%. A final
loan agreement was signed in December 1993 to replace the temporary facility
whereby the Company was able to borrow up to 10 million sterling pounds
through November 30, 1995, at which time the amount outstanding was converted
into a term loan payable in equal quarterly installments through November 30,
1998. Interest on five million sterling pounds of this facility is fixed at
8.95%. Interest on the balance is payable at the sterling pounds LIBOR rate
plus 1.25% up to the conversion

$15.6 million is outstanding under this facility.
 
  The Agreements contain provisions which, among other things, place
restrictions on borrowing, capital expenditures and the payment of dividends,
and requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios including tangible net
worth, fixed charge coverage and funded debt. The Company is currently in
compliance with or has received a waiver for all material covenants and
restrictions contained in the Agreements. Borrowings are unsecured and are
guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries.
 
  Under the terms of the Debenture Payment Assumption Agreement, Vivra
Incorporated was obligated to pay $4.1 million of the 8 1/2% Subordinated
Guaranteed Debentures that were paid off in 1995. The balance as of November
30, 1994 was reduced by that amount.

NOTE 8--CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS
 
  The Company has stock option plans whereby options may be granted at not less
than 100% of fair market value at the date of grant and are exercisable at any
time thereafter for a period of ten years, or five years for options granted
prior to November 8, 1990. Options granted on and after November 8, 1990, are
exercisable 20% at date of grant with the remaining 80% becoming exercisable at
the rate of 20% each December 1 thereafter, with the exception of 100,000
options re-issued to certain officers of the Company (see below) which vested
immediately. At the time of exercise, at least one-third is payable in cash and
the balance, if any, with a five-year note bearing interest at 8%. The unpaid
portion of options exercised, evidenced by a note, has been deducted from
Stockholders' Equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Stock
options may also be exercised by the return of previously acquired shares of
common stock. Shares obtained by such exercises are included in treasury stock
and valued at the market value at date of exercise.
 
  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors recommended at their
January 25, 1996 meeting that future stock options granted to certain key
employees be related to the performance of the Company's stock. The Committee
authorized management to utilize an outside compensation consultant to devise
such a plan.
 
  On May 20, 1993, the Company issued 860,000 of non-qualified options to
several key executives. The option price is $20 above the closing price of the
Company's stock on the date of grant, or $29.50 per share. During fiscal year
1994, 146,000 shares of converging options were issued at an option price of
$24.50 per share. For each year during which the Company meets specified
performance targets, the option price will decrease by $5.00 until the option
price and market price converge. The option price will be fixed at the market
price on the date of convergence and the options will vest. If convergence does
not occur during the first five years after grant of the options, the options
will be cancelled and the shares will revert to the 1989 Stock Incentive Plan
and be available for reissuance. The Company met these targets for fiscal 1993.
The Company did not meet these targets in fiscal 1994 or 1995.
 
  On February 14, 1992, 315,200 outstanding options granted in previous years
at prices ranging from $18.54 to $34.13 were revalued to $14.63, the market
price on that day. Options granted previously to the five then most highly-
compensated officers were not revalued. On January 29, 1993, 717,249 options
granted previously to those individuals were cancelled, revalued, and re-issued
at a 1 to 2 ratio. The options were granted in previous

years at prices ranging from $24.08 to $26.81. The options were revalued to
$10.88, $.25 higher than the closing market price on that day.

NOTE 9--DEFERRED COMPENSATION
 
  On May 21, 1992, the then Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
resigned. During the course of his employment with the Company, the former
Chairman had an employment contract which provided for consideration for
consulting services and a noncompetition agreement to commence in 1995 or
earlier in the event of permanent disability. Based on a computation of the
present value of the contractually due amount, a payment of $6.3 million was
made in December 1992. Of this amount, $3.4 million was provided for in the
financial statements of the Company through November 30, 1992. The remaining
amount, $2.9 million, is being amortized as consideration (approximately
$244,000 annually) for services rendered over the term of the consulting and
non-competition agreements which extend to November 30, 2004.
 
  Effective November 30, 1989, a former Chairman of the Board of Directors
terminated his employment with the Company and began receiving deferred
compensation benefits. Approximately $162,000 of the annual payment of
$323,000 is charged to expense as consideration for services rendered over the
term of the consulting and noncompetition agreements which extend to November
30, 2000. Such former Chairman has notified the Company of his position that
certain provisions in the contract that accelerate the payment of certain
deferred compensation have been triggered and that up to $4.5 million is now
due from the Company thereunder. The Board of Directors has established a
committee of directors to evaluate such claims of this former Chairman and to
recommend the appropriate action to be taken by the Company.

NOTE 10--OPERATING LEASES
 
  The Company leases its Corporate headquarters for a term of two years ending
in August 1996. The Company also leases one hospital at THC, one hospital in
the United Kingdom, and various other clinics, outpatient operations and
equipment over terms ranging generally from one to five years. Rent expense
related to noncancellable operating leases amounted to $3.5 million and $2.2
million for the years ended November 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Rent
expense related to noncancellable leases was immaterial for 1993.
 
  Future minimum lease payments required under noncancellable operating leases
as of November 30, 1995 are as follows: 1996--$3.4 million; 1997--$2.5
million; 1998--$2 million; 1999--$1.7 million; and 2000--$1.5 million.
 
NOTE 11--PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 
  The Company has a noncontributory, trusteed profit sharing plan which is
qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. All regular non-
union employees in the United States (union employees are eligible if the
collective bargaining agreement so specifies) with at least 1,000 hours of
service per annum, over 21 years of age, and employed at year-end are eligible
for participation in the plan after one year of employment. The Company's
contribution to the plan for any fiscal year, as determined by the Board of
Directors, is discretionary, but is limited to an amount which is deductible
for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to the plan are allocated among
eligible participants in the proportion of their salaries to the total
salaries of all participants. There were no contributions made by the Company
in 1995, 1994 and 1993. During 1993, a 401(k) segment was added to the plan
which allows employees to defer a portion of their salary on a pre-tax basis.
The Company may match a portion of the amount deferred. The Company's matching
contribution is determined by the Board of Directors each year. During 1995,
1994, and 1993 no matching contribution was made.
 
NOTE 12--BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
  The Company is engaged in two principal business segments. The Company
provides psychiatric services for adults, adolescents, and children with acute
psychiatric, emotional, substance abuse, and behavioral disorders in the
United States (plus Puerto Rico) and the United Kingdom. The Company also

NOTE 13--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance
  sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
 
  Short-Term Investments: The fair values for marketable securities are based
  on quoted market prices which approximate their carrying values.
 
  Long-Term and Short-Term Debt: The carrying amounts of the Company's long-
  term and short-term debt approximates its fair value.
 
NOTE 14--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  On September 28, 1995, the Company reached an agreement to settle certain
consolidated securities class action lawsuits and a related shareholder
derivative action. During the third and fourth quarter of 1995, the Company
recorded charges totalling $46.0 million ($28.9 million after tax) relating to
settlement of the lawsuits and associated legal fees and expenses. The suits,
filed in late 1991, alleged violations of the federal securities laws by the
Company and certain individuals between September 1990 and November 1991
arising from the activities of the U.S. Psychiatric Division.
 
  The principal terms of the agreement call for a settlement amount of $42.5
million consisting of a settlement fund of $21.25 million and the Company's
common stock with an expected value of $21.25 million. The cash amount, plus
interest, was paid in November 1995. The shares to be issued to the plaintiff
class were previously repurchased by the Company pursuant to a stock buyback
program during late 1991 through early 1993. The number of shares of common
stock to be issued will be equal to $21.25 million divided by the average
market value of the common stock over a 10-day trading period prior to the
distribution of shares to settle claims, provided that in any event the
minimum number of shares that will be issued is 1,931,818 and the maximum
number of shares that will be issued is 3,035,714. The maximum limits would be
triggered if the average market value of the common stock is at $7 per share
or below. Upon issuance, these shares will have a dilutive effect on earnings
per share. The agreement is subject to final court approval.
 
  While these cases allege actions taken before present management was in
place, management continues to believe that the claims asserted in the
shareholder suits lack merit. Nevertheless, the Company believed that it was
prudent to settle these cases due to the continuing substantial costs of
defense, the distraction of management's attention and the risks associated
with litigation.
 
  On August 17, 1995 the Company reported developments pertaining to CPC
Southwind Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which is operated by the
Company's subsidiary, CPC Oklahoma, Inc. The first was the filing of a
whistleblower suit against CPC Oklahoma, Inc. under the Federal False Claims
Act, and the second concerned the seizure of certain of Southwind's records
pursuant to a search warrant. On January 19, 1996, the Government filed an
amended complaint alleging that Southwind Hospital submitted false claims to
various federally-funded health care programs. The amended complaint contained
an attached schedule of claims covering periods from 1990 through mid-1992.
Since the service of the original complaint, Southwind Hospital has provided
information to the Government on numerous issues based on internal review. The
Company is currently in the process of reviewing the amended complaint.
Management is presently unable to evaluate the potential impact of the suit on
the Company.
 
  The Company is subject to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its
business, including those arising from patient treatment, injuries or death
for which it is covered by liability insurance, and those arising from actions
involving employees. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of such
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

NOTE 16--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On December 20, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has
preliminarily approved a plan to spin-off its U.S. Psychiatric Division in the
form of a taxable dividend distribution of U.S. Psychiatric Division common
stock to the Community Psychiatric Centers Shareholders.
 
  The spin-off is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory and
other third party approvals, market conditions, final approval of the Board of
Directors and Shareholder approval. It is anticipated that the spin-off and
related matters will be submitted to Shareholders at the Annual Meeting which
will be scheduled at a later date. The special dividend is expected to be
distributed by mid 1996.
 
  On January 19, 1996, the Company closed Parkwood Hospital, a U.S.
Psychiatric hospital located in Atlanta, Georgia. The fixed assets of this
hospital were written down to their estimated fair market values as part of
the FASB 121 writedown (see footnote 3, Impairment of Assets). In the first
quarter of 1996, the Company expects to record a restructuring charge of an
undetermined amount related to termination benefits to be paid to the
employees of the closed hospital.

                              EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
                              -------------------


     THIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT (the "Contract") is entered into as of December
1, 1995 (the "Effective Date") by and between COMMUNITY PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS, a
Nevada corporation ("CPC"), and RICHARD L. CONTE, an individual ("Conte").

                                - - - - - - - -

     A.  CPC has employed Conte as an executive employee pursuant to prior
employment agreements, and Conte currently serves as CPC's President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

     B.  CPC desires to amend the terms of the currently existing employment
agreement with Conte in order to provide him with additional benefits in
recognition of the valuable services he has rendered CPC.

     C.  Conte is willing and able to render the services herein provided for,
and he is willing to refrain from activities competitive with the business of
CPC on the terms set forth herein.

     NOW THEREFORE, Conte and CPC mutually agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE ONE

W-2 wages or other compensation for a partial year of employment with CPC will
be annualized, in accordance with the frequency with which such wages are paid
during such partial year, before inclusion within Conte's Actual Average
Compensation.  If any of Conte's compensation from CPC during such five (5)-year
or shorter period was not included in his W-2 wages for U.S. income tax purposes
because such compensation was excludible from income as foreign earned income
under Code Section 911 or as pre-tax income under Code Section 125 or 402(g),
then such compensation shall

                                       1

his employment by CPC disclose, communicate or use any Confidential Information
which Conte learns as a result of his employment by CPC, except to the extent
required by his performance of duties for CPC, unless he obtains CPC's prior
written consent to do so.

          3.1.2  RETURN OF DOCUMENTS.  Upon the termination of Conte's
                 -------------------                                  
employment for any reason, Conte shall promptly relinquish and return to CPC all
Confidential Information and all files, correspondence, memoranda, diaries and
other records, minutes, notes, manuals, papers and other documents and data,
however prepared or memorialized, and all copies thereof, belonging to or
relating to the business of CPC, that are in Conte's custody or control, whether
or not they contain Confidential Information.

          3.1.3  NONCOMPETITION COVENANT.  While employed by CPC, Conte shall
                 -----------------------

his employment, in any state within the United States or any shire within the
United Kingdom in which (i) CPC owned or operated that line of business either
on the date his employment terminates or at any time within the immediately
preceding Fiscal Year

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
or (ii) the Board had approved the commencement of that line of business prior
to his termination.

          3.1.4  NONSOLICITATION COVENANT.  For a period of four (4) years

following the termination of Conte's employment with CPC for any reason other
than in connection with a Hostile Take-Over, Conte shall not, directly or
indirectly, solicit the services of any CPC employee, independent contractor,
customer, referral or reimbursement source, or otherwise induce or attempt to
induce current CPC employees to sever their employment relationship with CPC.

          3.1.5  SCOPE AND DURATION; SEVERABILITY.  CPC and Conte understand and
                 --------------------------------                               
agree that the scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Section 3.1
are reasonable both in time and geographical area and are fairly necessary to
protect the business of CPC.  Such covenants shall survive the termination of
Conte's employment, except that the Section 3.1.3 noncompetition covenant shall
remain in effect following such termination of employment only to the extent
required pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE FIVE.  It is further agreed that
such covenants shall be regarded as divisible and shall be operative as to time
and geographical area to the extent that they may be made so and, if any part of
such covenants is declared invalid or unenforceable, the validity and
enforceability of the remainder shall not be affected.

highly competitive nature of the health care industry, the breach of any
covenants set out in Section 3.1 will cause irreparable injury to CPC for which
it will have no adequate monetary or other remedy at law.  Therefore, CPC shall
be entitled, in addition to such other remedies as it may have hereunder, to a
temporary restraining order and to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
for any breach or threatened breach of the covenants without proof of actual
damages that have been or may be caused hereby.  In addition, CPC shall have
available all remedies provided under state and federal statutes, rules and
regulations as well as any and all other remedies as may otherwise be
contractually or equitably available.

          3.1.7  ASSIGNMENT.  Except as otherwise provided to the contrary in
                 ----------                                                  
ARTICLE FIVE, Conte agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 3.1
shall inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of CPC, with the same
force and effect as if such covenant had been made by Conte with such successor
or assign.

     administrative services to facilitate the performance of his consulting
     services.

          ----------------------------------------------------                 
employment terminate in connection with a Parachute Event, then the value of his
noncompetition covenant under Section 3.1.3 and his Consulting Agreement under
Section 3.2 shall be determined by independent appraisal, and the Contract
Benefits payable to Conte under Section 5.6 or 5.9 shall, to the extent of such
appraised value, be allocated as  reasonable compensation for such covenant and
consulting agreement. A similar appraisal shall be performed in the event (i)
CPC elects to enforce such noncompetition covenant and consulting agreement
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4. or (ii) Conte terminates his
employment under Section 5.5. The cost of any appraisal performed pursuant to
the requirements of this Section 3.3 shall be borne solely by CPC.

     3.4  SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT APPRAISER.  Whenever the appraised value of

Conte's obligations under Sections 3.1.3 and/or 3.2 must be determined pursuant
to Section 3.3, Conte and CPC shall, within ten (10) business days following
termination of Conte's employment, select an independent third party (either an
experienced tax counsel or a nationally recognized accounting firm) to perform
that appraisal.  Should Conte and CPC be unable to mutually agree upon the
selection of such third party, then Conte shall designate a nationally
recognized accounting firm to perform such appraisal, provided such firm has not
previously served as CPC's independent auditors or provided prior tax advice to
Conte on personal matters.

          ------------                                                          
from CPC which shall compensate him for the following tax liabilities:

          (A) any and all excise taxes (collectively, the "Parachute Tax")
     imposed pursuant to Code Section 4999 (or any successor provision) and
     comparable provisions of applicable state tax laws upon (i) any payment or
     other compensation or benefit which is made or provided to or on behalf of
     Conte in connection with any Parachute Event under this Contract or his
     subsequent termination of employment in connection therewith and which is
     deemed to be a parachute payment under Code Section 280G(b)(2) and (ii) all
     the special tax payments made to him pursuant to this ARTICLE SIX, and

          (B) the ordinary federal and state income taxes imposed upon all the
     special tax payments made to him pursuant to this ARTICLE SIX.

          6.1.1  INITIAL PAYMENT.  Within ninety (90) days after each
                 ---------------                                     
determination is made by the Internal Revenue Service or Conte's tax advisor
that Conte has received a parachute payment for which he is liable for a
Parachute Tax, Conte shall identify the nature of such parachute payment to CPC
and submit to CPC the calculation of the Parachute Tax attributable to that
payment and the tax benefit to which he is entitled under this ARTICLE SIX with
respect to such payment.  Upon receipt of such calculation, CPC shall pay Conte
an amount sufficient to satisfy (i) such Parachute Tax and (ii) the ordinary
federal and state income taxes attributable to the clause (i)

state income taxes attributable to the Section 6.1.1 payments made to him.
Conte's Parachute Tax calculations shall be final and binding upon CPC for

withholding on such calculations, provided such calculations are based on

than the Parachute Tax liability taken into account for purposes of the payments
made to him pursuant to Section 6.1.1, then within ninety (90) days following
the Final Determination, Conte shall submit to CPC a new Parachute Tax
calculation based upon the Final Determination.  Upon receipt of such
calculation, CPC shall pay Conte an amount which, when added to any amounts paid
under Section 6.1.1, will be sufficient to satisfy (I) his aggregate Parachute
Tax and (II) the ordinary federal and state income taxes attributable to all
payments made pursuant to any provision of this ARTICLE SIX, including all
additional payments made pursuant to this clause (II), with the net effect of
providing Conte with sufficient aggregate funds to cover (1) his entire
Parachute Tax liability and (2) the additional federal and state ordinary income
taxes attributable to all the payments made to him pursuant to any provision of
this ARTICLE SIX.

          6.1.3  REFUND.  In the event that Conte's actual Parachute Tax
                 ------                                                 
liability is determined by a Final Determination to be less than the Parachute
Tax liability taken into account for purposes of the payments made to him
pursuant to Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, then Conte shall refund to CPC, promptly
upon receipt, any federal or state tax refund attributable to the Parachute Tax
overpayment.

                 ----------                                            
Determination means an audit adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service that is
either agreed to by Conte or his estate or an adjustment that is sustained by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a decision with which he concurs or with
respect to which the period within which an appeal may be filed has lapsed
without a notice of appeal being filed.

     6.2  CORPORATE DIVESTITURE.  Conte shall be entitled to the special tax
          ---------------------                                             
benefits provided under this ARTICLE SIX in connection with a Corporate

                      ----------

result of disclosure in breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (ii)

          4.2  Noncompetition Covenant.  During the Employment Term and for a
               -----------------------                                       
period of one and one-half (1.5) years thereafter, Employee shall not compete or

               ------------------------                                   
employees, independent contractors, customers, referral sources or reimbursement

Businesses.

          4.4  Scope and Duration; Severability.  CPC and Employee understand
               --------------------------------                              
and agree that the scope and duration of the covenants contained in this
paragraph 4 are reasonable both in time and area and are fairly necessary to
protect the business of CPC.  Nevertheless, it is further agreed that such
covenants shall be regarded as divisible and shall be operative as to time and
area to the extent that they may be made so operative and, if any part of them
is declared invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the
remainder shall not be affected.

          4.5  Injunction.  Employee understands and agrees that, due to the
               ----------                                                   
highly competitive nature of the health care industry, the breach of any of the
covenants set out in paragraphs 4.1.3, 4.2 and 4.3 will cause irreparable injury
to CPC for which it will have no adequate monetary or other remedy at law.
Therefore, CPC shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies as it may
have hereunder, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of the covenants
without proof of actual damages that have been or may be caused hereby.  In
addition, CPC shall have available all remedies provided under state and federal
statutes, rules and regulations as well as any and all other remedies as may
otherwise be contractually or equitably available.

Employee agrees that the covenants contained in paragraph 4 shall inure to the
benefit of any successor or assign of CPC with the same force and effect as if
such covenants had been made by Employee with such successor or assign.

          -----------

          does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
          executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
          affected his settlement with the debtor."

                             SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT


     This Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of February 19, 1996,
is made by and among Community Psychiatric Centers, Inc. ("CPC"), Kay Seim,
Richard Seim and Continuum Healthcare, Inc. ("Continuum").

                                    RECITALS

     A.  In the course of reaching agreement on the terms of Kay Seim's
separation from CPC and amicably settling the differences between the parties, a
series of letters between the parties have been exchanged.

     B.  This Agreement is intended to definitively set forth that agreement; it
will summarize and supersede all oral and written communications that have taken
place to date.

     C.  The settlement will go into effect on the date that all parties have
signed this Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

     1.  Termination of Employment and Continuing Compensation.  The effective
         ------------------------------------------------------ 
date of the termination of Kay Seim's employment by CPC was and is November 3,
1995.  For settlement purposes only, CPC will continue to pay, on a regular bi-
weekly basis, the compensation (at the current rate) to which Kay Seim would
have been entitled for the remainder of the one-year renewal term ending on July
1, 1996, pursuant to Paragraph 3 of CPC's Employment Agreement with Kay Seim.

     2.  Employee Benefits.  Kay Seim's medical insurance benefits will continue
         ------------------
through July 1, 1996 with COBRA availability thereafter.  Any profit sharing and
401K funds may roll over.  Unused and non-accrued vacation time for 1995 (six
weeks) will be paid.  Outplacement services by Lee Hecht Harrison in Bellevue
will be paid for up to an amount of $12,000 by CPC for a period of one year
after the effective date of this settlement agreement.

     3.  Stock Options.  Kay Seim will be entitled to exercise her vested stock
         --------------
options until July 1, 1996.  However, a "blackout period" will be in effect,
such that Kay Seim will be unable to trade during the blackout period until the
tenth (10th) day after CPC releases its 1995 10-K.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, Kay 

                                                                          PAGE 1
<PAGE>
 
Seim will be released from any "blackout" period on or before May 26, 1996. Kay
Seim has been and will continue to be responsible for ensuring that she is in
compliance with state and federal securities laws governing the exercise of
stock options and trading by corporate "insiders."

     4.  Office Space.  Kay Seim will be entitled to continue to use her current
         -------------
office through and including March 31, 1996.  On or before that date, Kay Seim
will be able to purchase the furniture, furnishings and equipment from that
office listed in Attachment A for a total price of $2,500.

     5.  Repayment of Home Equity Loan and Sale of Las Vegas Residence.  CPC
         --------------------------------------------------------------
will provide Kay Seim with the opportunity to sell her Las Vegas residence until
July 1, 1996.  The unpaid remainder of the $300,000 home equity loan that CPC
made to Kay Seim, pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Addendum to Employment
Contract, plus closing and carrying costs will be repaid from the proceeds of
the sale of the property, with Kay Seim retaining the balance of the proceeds of
sale.  In the meantime, Kay Seim will continue to pay the principal and interest
due and comply with all terms of the loan documents.

     If the residence is not sold by July 1, 1996 or Kay Seim, at her option,
has not repaid the CPC Loan, CPC will list and sell the property at its sole and
absolute discretion.  CPC will initially list the property at its fair market
value, as determined by CPC.  Once the property is sold by CPC, Kay Seim will be
paid any proceeds in excess of the remaining loan amount, carrying costs and
expenses associated with the sale transaction.

     In order to facilitate the sale of the property by CPC if the property has
not already been sold by Kay Seim or, at Kay Seim's option, she has not repaid
the CPC loan, in each case by July 1, 1996, Kay Seim agrees to provide a grant
deed (deeding the property to CPC) and escrow instructions to Nevada Title no
later than February 28, 1996.  Pursuant to the escrow instructions, the escrow
agent will deliver the deed to CPC on July 2, 1996, if Kay Seim has not already
sold the property or repaid the CPC loan by July 1, 1996.  Similarly, pursuant
to the escrow instructions, the escrow agent will return the deed to Kay Seim if
she sells the property or repays the CPC loan by July 1, 1996.

     6.  No Conflict of Interest.  In light of the fact that Continuum is
         ------------------------
referenced in the Addendum to Employment Agreement as not placing Kay Seim in a
conflict of interest, CPC acknowledges that Kay Seim's post-employment
involvement with Continuum will not violate any of her continuing obligations
under Paragraph 6.6 of the Employment Agreement, which shall otherwise be in
effect, with the exception of 

                                                                          PAGE 2
<PAGE>
 
Paragraph 6.6.7 of that Agreement, which hereafter shall be null, void and
unenforceable.

     7.  CPC Lease of Space to Continuum.  CPC will provide Continuum the
         --------------------------------
opportunity to lease space at CPC Fairfax Hospital in Kirkland, Washington.
Continuum is not obligated to enter into such a lease, however.  CPC will agree
to a five-year lease term with five one-year renewal options.  CPC will have the
ability to terminate the lease under certain circumstances including, but not
limited to, the following:  (1) the closure or sale of CPC Fairfax Hospital;
provided that CPC shall be required to provide Continuum with 120 days notice of
such a termination following consummation of an agreement to sell CPC Fairfax
Hospital or a decision to close the hospital; (2) a material change in the stock
ownership of Continuum; (3) a material breach of the lease by Continuum; (4) a
failure by Continuum to obtain or maintain insurance or necessary licenses,
permits or certification for the use; or (5) bankruptcy or insolvency of
Continuum.  the rental fee under the lease will be $750.00 per month per bed,
exclusive of "hotel services."  These services, as well as others, will be made
available by CPC to Continuum on a cost plus 10% basis.

     Unless prohibited by federal or state law and in connection with such a
lease, CPC will transfer the existing Residential Treatment Center ("RTC")
business within CPC Fairfax Hospital to Continuum and will agree not to conduct
an RTC facility in western Washington State.  CPC will provide reasonable
assistance to Continuum in employing CPC employees currently working on the RTC
unit at CPC Fairfax Hospital.  CPC will provide reasonable cooperation in the
CHAMPUS certification process. CPC will also provide reasonable cooperation to
Continuum in Continuum obtaining any necessary licensing and accreditation.  To
the extent that Continuum does not obtain the appropriate licensing and
accreditation, this Paragraph will be of no force and effect.

     Any lease entered into pursuant to this paragraph must be executed no later
than March 10, 1996 with additional standard terms agreeable to all parties for
a commencement date of thirty (30) days form execution.  Continuum will bear
responsibility and cost for preparation and submission of the lease, and, any
and all amendments required.

     8.  Adjustments With Continuum.  Any bad debt which was accrued by CPC
         ---------------------------
Fairfax Hospital for RTC receivables while the Continuum/CPC Memorandum of
Understanding was in effect will be shared with Continuum on a 50/50 basis.  In
addition, if CPC did not bill CHAMPUS for educations services during the course
of the relationship under the Memorandum of Understanding, then to the extent
legally permissible CPC shall so invoice Champus and any revenues collected from
subsequent billings for that period will be shared with Continuum on a 50/50
basis.

                                                                          PAGE 3

cause.

     In consideration of Richard Seim's and Continuum's promises and releases,
CPC, on behalf of itself and CPC's Affiliates, fully, finally and forever
releases, forgives and discharges Richard Seim and Continuum and their

unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, patent or latent.  CPC acknowledges that it
intends to waive all claims for damage that may exist as of the effective date

        Re:  Credit Agreement dated as of September 20, 1993

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement dated as of September 
20, 1993, as amended among CPC, THC and Bank (the "Agreement").  Capitalized 
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the 
Agreement.

        The Bank hereby agrees to waive compliance for the reporting period 
ending November 30, 1995 only with (a) the Net Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio set 
forth in Section 7.14 of the Agreement, (b) the EBITDA to Consolidated Net 
Interest Expense Ratio set forth in Section 7.15 of the Agreement, and (c) the 
Tangible New Worth Covenant set forth in Section 7.16 of the Credit Agreement.

        In consideration for the granting of the foregoing waiver, the Company 
represents and warrants to the Bank that the representations and warranties set 
forth in Article V of the Agreement are true and correct in all material 
respects on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date 
hereof, and no Default or Event of Default under the Agreement has occurred and 
is continuing.

        Except as hereby expressly modified, the Agreement shall remain in full 
force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

        This waiver is specific in time and in intent and does not constitute, 
nor should it be construed as, a waiver of any other right, power or privilege 
under the Agreement,

or under any agreement, contract, indenture, document or instrument mentioned in
the Agreement; nor does it preclude other or further exercise hereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any
right, power, privilege or default hereunder or under any agreement, contract,
indenture, document or instrument mentioned in the Agreement constitute a waiver
of any default of the same or of any other term or provision thereunder.

        This waiver shall not be effective until signed by CPC, THC and the
Guarantors and may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.


                                        Very truly yours, 

                                        BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND

                         AGREEMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE

     This Agreement and Promissory Note is made as of November 9, 1995 (the 
                                                      ----------------
"Loan Date"), between J. Rodney Laughlin ("Employee") and Community Psychiatric 
                      ------------------
Centers, a Nevada Corporation ("CPC"), under the circumstances set forth in the 
Certificate of Resolution, of the Compensation Committee of the Board of 
Directors, dated June 2, 1995, wherein said Committee provided for Special 
                 ------------
Recognition Awards, for the outcome of the development of the Transitional 
Hospitals concept.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:

     1.  CPC shall loan to Employee an interest free thirty-six (36) month 
nonrecourse loan of one million dollars ($1,000,000). One thirty-sixth (1/36) of
the loan shall be forgiven each month provided the recipient does not 
voluntarily terminate employment during the loan's term, in which event the 
balance of the loan shall become immediately due and payable. Any balance of the
loan at the time of involuntary termination; change of control; death; 
disability; or, termination pursuant to any provision in any applicable 
employment agreement permitting the Employee to terminate employment for cause, 
shall be forgiven with applicable payroll tax withholding.

     At each regular pay period, one seventy-eighth (1/78) of the loan will be 
recorded as income as non-cash compensation in forgiveness of that portion of 
the loan with all applicable payroll tax withholding.

     2.  This Agreement supersedes any and all prior express or implied 
agreements or promises; whether written or oral between Employee and CPC, its
agents, subsidiaries, successors and assigns; including, but not limited to,
agreements regarding compensation, remuneration or any form of consideration;
relating or pertaining to, the creation, development, management, or operation
of Transitional Hospital Corporation, long-term acute services, and all services
related thereto.

     This Agreement and Note shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties 
hereto and their successors and assigns.

                         AGREEMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE

     This Agreement and Promissory Note is made as of June 2, 1995 (the 
                                                      ------------
"Loan Date"), between Ronald L. Ooley ("Employee") and Community Psychiatric 
                      ---------------
Centers, a Nevada Corporation ("CPC"), under the circumstances set forth in the 
Certificate of Resolution, of the Compensation Committee of the Board of 
Directors, dated June 2, 1995, wherein said Committee provided for Special 
                 ------------
Recognition Awards, for the outcome of the development of the Transitional 
Hospitals concept.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:

     1.  CPC shall loan to Employee an interest free thirty-six (36) month 
nonrecourse loan of seven hundred, fifty thousand ($750,000). One thirty-sixth
(1/36) of the loan shall be forgiven each month provided the recipient does not
voluntarily terminate employment during the loan's term, in which event the
balance of the loan shall become immediately due and payable. Any balance of the
loan at the time of involuntary termination; change of control; death;
disability; or, termination pursuant to any provision in any applicable
employment agreement permitting the Employee to terminate employment for cause,
shall be forgiven with applicable payroll tax withholding.

     At each regular pay period, one seventy-eighth (1/78) of the loan will be 
recorded as income as non-cash compensation in forgiveness of that portion of 
the loan with all applicable payroll tax withholding.

     2.  This Agreement supersedes any and all prior express or implied 
agreements or promises; whether written or oral between Employee and CPC, its
agents, subsidiaries, successors and assigns; including, but not limited to,
agreements regarding compensation, remuneration or any form of consideration;
relating or pertaining to, the creation, development, management, or operation
of Transitional Hospital Corporation, long-term acute services, and all services
related thereto.

     This Agreement and Note shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties 
hereto and their successors and assigns.

 * As the dilutive common stock equivalents are less than 3% of the weighted
   average outstanding shares, they have not been included in the 1994
   computation of earnings per share as shown in the Consolidated Statement of
   Operations and Five Year Summary of Selected Financial Data.
 
** The impact of stock options is excluded from earnings (loss) per share as
   the impact of stock equivalents is anti-dilutive.
