                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       (In thousands, except share information)


          1.   The unaudited financial information furnished herein, in the
               opinion of management, reflects all adjustments which are
               necessary to state fairly the financial position, cash flows
               and results of operations of The Hillhaven Corporation
               ("Hillhaven" or "the Company") as of and for the periods
               indicated.  Hillhaven presumes that users of the interim
               financial information herein have read or have access to the
               Company's audited financial statements and Management's
               Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
               of Operations for the preceding fiscal year and that the
               adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair
               presentation, except in regard to material contingencies,
               may be determined in that context.  Accordingly, footnote
               and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate
               the disclosures contained in Hillhaven's most recent annual
               report to stockholders have been omitted.  

               In December 1993, the Company announced the completion of
               its facility disposition program (Note 3).  Accordingly, the
               revenues and expenses related to facilities previously held
               for disposition and subsequently retained have been
               reclassified to ongoing operations in the consolidated
               statement of income for all periods presented.  In addition,
               certain other reclassifications of prior year amounts have
               been made to conform to current year classifications.  The
               financial information herein is not necessarily
               representative of a full year's operations.

          2.   The provision for doubtful accounts and notes receivable is
               included in operating and administrative expenses. 
               Provisions totalled $3,956, $6,622, $1,282 and $5,315 for
               the three months and nine months ended February 28, 1994 and
               1993, respectively.  In the third quarter of 1994 the
               reserve for losses on notes receivable was increased by
               $2,500.

          3.   On December 5, 1991, Hillhaven announced a restructuring
               plan which included the disposition of 82 nursing centers
               over an estimated 24-month period.  A restructuring charge
               of $90,000 was recorded in the quarter ended November 30,
               1991, which included provisions for losses on disposition of
               the 82 nursing centers, operating losses of these centers
               during the disposition period and other related costs.  As
               of November 30, 1993, the Company had completed the
               disposition of 50 of these nursing centers as well as three
               retirement housing facilities which prior to March 1, 1992
               had been recorded as discontinued operations.  Definitive
               agreements were in place to sell an additional nine of the
               nursing centers held for disposition.  During the three
               months ended November 30, 1993, the Company reviewed its
               asset disposition program; because of improvements in
               reimbursement rates and results of operations and the

               difficult financing environment for nursing facilities and
               other real estate assets, the Company decided not to pursue
               the sales of the remaining nursing centers and a retirement
               housing facility.  In addition, several parcels of land
               which had been held for development have been reclassified
               to other noncurrent assets.  Assets related to the Company's
               restructuring program were as follows:

               Net assets of these facilities as of September 1, 1993, less
               adjustments to asset carrying values and remaining accrued
               restructuring costs aggregating $32,646, have been
               reclassified from net assets held for disposition to
               appropriate balance sheet accounts.

          4.   Income tax expense reported for the three months and nine
               months ended February 28, 1994 differs from expected income
               tax expense on pretax income as the result of current tax
               credits, increased deferred tax benefits related to an
               increase in the statutory federal income tax rate from 34%
               to 35% and a reduction in the valuation allowance for
               deferred tax assets related to forecasted earnings for
               future years.  For the Company to realize its net deferred
               tax assets, it must continue to achieve future pretax
               earnings.  Although the Company believes such pretax
               earnings will be achieved, a lack of earnings could result
               in an increased provision for income taxes.

          5.   The extraordinary charges resulted from the write-off of
               capitalized financing costs in connection with the
               refinancing of certain of the Company's industrial revenue
               bonds and are shown net of the tax effect of $33 and $459 in
               the three and nine months ended February 28, 1994,
               respectively, and $178 in both the three and nine months
               ended February 28, 1993. 

          6.   In September 1993, Hillhaven substantially completed a
               recapitalization plan (the "Recapitalization") which
               included the modification of the Company's relationship with
               National Medical Enterprises, Inc.  (NME) to (i) purchase
               the remaining 23 nursing centers leased from NME for a
               purchase price of $111,800, (ii) repay all existing debt to
               NME in the aggregate principal amount of $147,202, (iii)
               release NME guarantees on approximately $400,000 of debt,
               (iv) limit the annual fee payable to NME to 2% of the
               remaining amount guaranteed and (v) amend existing

               agreements to eliminate obligations of NME to provide
               additional financing to the Company.  The Recapitalization
               was financed through (i) the issuance to NME of $120,000 of
               payable-in-kind Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) the
               incurrence of $205,000 of term loans and working capital
               loans, (iii) the issuance of $175,000 of 10-1/8% Senior
               Subordinated Notes due 2001 and (iv) the use of cash
               amounting to approximately $43,000.

          7.   On September 28, 1993, the Company's stockholders approved a
               proposal by the Board of Directors to amend the Articles of
               Incorporation to effect a reverse split of all authorized
               shares of Hillhaven Common Stock.  A one-for-five reverse
               stock split was effected on November 1, 1993 which resulted
               in a decrease in the number of authorized shares of common
               stock from 300,000,000 to 60,000,000 and an increase in the
               par value of the common stock from $.15 to $.75 per share. 
               Accordingly, all share and per share data have been restated
               to retroactively reflect the reverse stock split.

          8.   On December 31, 1993, Hillhaven completed the sale of
               thirteen nursing centers, nine of which had previously been
               held for disposition (Note 3).  The Company received cash
               for the $15,594 sales price.  The sale resulted in a gain of
               $5,102 which is included in net operating revenues.

          9.   On February 28, 1994, NME exercised its warrants to purchase
               six million shares of Hillhaven common stock.  The aggregate
               exercise price of $63,300 was paid by the tender of a like
               amount of Hillhaven's payable-in-kind Series D Preferred
               Stock owned by NME.  On February 28, 1994, NME held 32.7% of
               the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          (Dollars in thousands, except per patient day amounts)


          The following material should be read in conjunction with the
          consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related
          notes thereto.  All references in this discussion and analysis to
          years are to fiscal years of the Company ended May 31 of such
          year.

          In the 1994 third quarter, Hillhaven realized  net income of
          $11,634 compared to $8,867 in the prior year period.  Net income
          for the nine months ended February 28, 1994 and 1993 amounted to
          $44,530 and $27,684, respectively.  Income from operations before
          income taxes and extraordinary charges increased to $16,472 in
          the third quarter from $8,104 in the prior year period, and to
          $63,208 in the nine months ended February 28, 1994 from $24,557
          in the same period in the prior year.  Earnings for the nine
          months ended February 28, 1994 include a $21,904 pretax
          restructuring credit, as described below.


          Conclusion of the Disposition Program

          On December 5, 1991, Hillhaven announced a restructuring plan
          which included the disposition of 82 nursing centers over an
          estimated 24-month period.  As of November 30, 1993, the Company
          had completed the disposition of 50 of these nursing centers as
          well as three retirement housing facilities which prior to March
          1, 1992 had been recorded as discontinued operations.  Definitive
          agreements were in place to sell an additional nine of the
          nursing centers held for disposition.  During the 1994 second
          quarter, the Company reviewed its asset disposition program;
          because of improvements in reimbursement rates and results of
          operations and the difficult financing environment for nursing
          facilities and other real estate assets, the Company decided not
          to pursue the sale of the remaining nursing centers and a
          retirement housing facility.  In addition, several parcels of
          land which had been held for development have been reclassified
          to other noncurrent assets.

          Accrued loss reserves remaining at the date of reinstatement
          amounted to $54,550.  Revenues and expenses related to the 32
          nursing centers and other properties previously held for
          disposition have been reclassified to ongoing operations in the
          consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.  See
          Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  Net assets
          of these facilities, less adjustments to asset carrying values
          and remaining accrued restructuring costs aggregating $32,646,
          have been reclassified from net assets held for disposition to
          appropriate balance sheet accounts.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



          Results of Operations

          Net operating revenues were $363,973, $1,080,214, $344,065 and
          $1,018,738 in the three and nine months ended February 28, 1994
          and 1993, respectively.  Operating income before property-related
          expenses (which are comprised of rent, depreciation and
          amortization, interest and guarantee fees) for the three and nine
          months ended February 28, 1994, was $53,211 (14.6% of net
          operating revenues), and $156,052 (14.4% of net operating
          revenues), respectively, an increase of approximately 9.3% and
          6.6% from $48,687 (14.2% of net operating revenues) and $146,414
          (14.4% of net operating revenues) in the same periods in the
          prior year.

          Nursing center net operating revenues, comprised primarily of
          patient revenues, increased 7.3% and 7.4% in the three and nine
          months ended February 28, 1994 to $311,793 and $927,330,
          respectively, from $290,515 and $863,420 in the same periods in
          the prior year.  The most significant revenue increases were
          provided by subacute medical and rehabilitation care services
          which constituted, respectively, approximately 26% and 24% of
          nursing center net operating revenues in the current three- and
          nine-month periods and 21% and 18% in the three and nine months
          ended February 28, 1993.  These results reflect the continued
          emphasis by the Company on these higher revenue specialty
          services and the expansion of such operations.  Revenues for the
          1994 three- and nine-month periods also include gains on the
          sales of 13 nursing centers in the amount of $5,102 (Note 8).

          Net patient revenues per patient day increased by 8.2% in both
          the three and nine months ended February 28, 1994 to $103.24 and
          $100.65, respectively, from $95.40 and $93.03 in the same periods
          in the prior year.  These increases were due to overall increases
          in rates for each payor type, as well as higher levels of 
          subacute medical and rehabilitation care services.

          Average occupancy in the owned and leased nursing centers
          operated by the Company was 93.2% and 93.5% in the 1994 three-
          and nine-month periods and 93.3% and 93.5% in the same periods in
          1993.

          Patient revenues are affected by changes in Medicare and Medicaid
          reimbursement rates, private pay and other rates charged by
          Hillhaven, occupancy levels and the payor mix.  Medicare census
          increased over the prior year periods as a result of Hillhaven's
          continued focus on subacute medical and rehabilitation care
          programs.  Hillhaven is working to improve private pay and other
          census by increasing the number of managed care patients in its
          nursing centers.   The Company has entered into managed care
          contracts with insurance companies to provide subacute care to
          their insureds, offering a less expensive alternative to acute
          care hospitals.  The number of managed care patients in
          Hillhaven's nursing centers averaged approximately 500 in the
          current quarter compared to 230 in the prior year period.

          Net operating revenues from pharmacy operations decreased to
          $43,745 and $128,906 in the three and nine months ended February
          28, 1994, respectively, from $46,488 and $135,332 in the prior
          year periods.  Decreased revenues resulted primarily from the
          disposition of 47 marginally performing retail outlets in 1993
          and the first nine months of 1994.  Institutional revenues
          accounted for approximately 76% of pharmacy net operating
          revenues in both the three and nine months ended February 28,
          1994, versus 62% in both the same periods in 1993.  The growing
          contribution from institutional operations reflects the Company's
          increasing focus on the nursing home market, disposition of

          <PAGE>

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



          retail outlets and continuing pricing pressure in the retail
          operations.  Institutional revenues increased by 15.6% and 16.7%
          to $33,243 and $97,647 in the three and nine months ended
          February 28, 1994, respectively, from $28,759 and $83,705 in the
          prior year periods.  These increases are the result of an
          increase in the number of nursing center beds serviced and higher
          sales volumes per bed.  The increase in per bed sales reflects
          the Company's strategy of aggressively marketing higher margin
          ancillary products and services, such as respiratory and
          intravenous therapies and enteral and urological supplies.

          Pharmacy operations produced operating income before property-
          related expenses of $5,706 in the current quarter (13.0% of net
          operating revenue), a decrease of approximately 9.7% from $6,319
          (13.6% of net operating revenue) in the prior year quarter.  For
          the nine months ended February 28, 1994, operating income before
          property-related expenses amounted to $16,761 (13.0% of net
          operating revenue) compared to $17,331 (12.8% of net operating
          revenue) in the same period in the prior year.  

          Net operating revenues from retirement housing operations
          increased to $8,435 and $23,978 in the three and nine months
          ended February 28, 1994, respectively, from $7,062 and $19,986 in
          the prior year periods.  These increases were primarily due to
          improvements in average occupancy, which increased to 96.7% and
          95.9% in the three and nine months ended February 28, 1994 from
          92.7% and 91.4% in the same periods in 1993.

          Operating and administrative expenses of the Company's nursing
          centers increased by 6.5% and 7.4% in the three and nine months
          ended February 28, 1994 to $267,017 and $795,269, respectively,
          from $250,627 and $740,331 in the same periods in 1993.  These
          increases were attributable primarily to increased staffing
          levels and a higher cost of labor and related benefits, which
          represented approximately 76% and 77% of operating and
          administrative expense in the current three- and nine-month
          periods, respectively.  Hillhaven has increased staffing levels
          in its nursing centers to accommodate the expansion of its 
          subacute medical and rehabilitation care programs and services. 
          Therapy wages and benefits, comprising approximately 12% and 11%
          of total nursing center labor costs in the three and nine months
          ended February 28, 1994, respectively, increased by 57% and 71%
          from the prior three- and nine-month periods to $24,293 and
          $68,289 respectively.  Nursing wages and benefits, accounting for
          approximately 54% of total nursing center labor costs in both the
          three and nine months ended February 28, 1994, remained
          consistent in the third quarter as compared to the prior year
          quarter and increased by 2.5% in the nine-month period over the
          prior year.  Increases in labor costs were mitigated by 
          favorable results of workers' compensation loss experience in
          prior years as actuarially computed during the 1994 fiscal year.

          Included in operating and administrative expenses in the current
          period is a provision for losses on certain of the Company's
          notes receivable in the amount of $2,500.  Combined interest and
          guarantee fee expense decreased by $2,574 to $13,393 in the
          current quarter and by $5,052 to $43,884 in the current nine-
          month period due to the recent refinancing of certain of the
          Company's indebtedness.  See "The Recapitalization".

          Effective June 1, 1992 Hillhaven adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS
          109).  Adoption of SFAS 109 resulted in a charge of $1,103 to the
          1993 first quarter statement of income.  Including the impact of
          this charge, the effect of the adoption of SFAS 109 on the three
          and nine months ended February 28, 1993 was a reduction of net
          income tax expense and an increase in net income of $1,601 and
          $4,745, respectively, as compared to amounts that would have been
          reported under APB Opinion No. 11.


          The Recapitalization

          On September 2, 1993, Hillhaven substantially completed a
          recapitalization plan (the "Recapitalization") which improved the
          Company's balance sheet, extended the maturities of outstanding
          indebtedness, increased operating flexibility through the
          acquisition of leased facilities, fixed the interest rate on a
          portion of its previously floating rate indebtedness and also
          modified the relationship between Hillhaven and NME.

          The Company's relationship with NME was modified by (i) the
          purchase of the remaining 23 nursing centers leased from NME for
          $111,800, which represents a $23,600 discount from the aggregate
          purchase price specified in the purchase option agreements, (ii)
          the repayment of all existing debt to NME in the aggregate
          principal amount of $147,202, (iii) the release of NME guarantees
          on approximately $400 million of debt, (iv) the limitation of the
          annual fee payable to NME to 2% of the remaining amount
          guaranteed and (v) the amendment of existing agreements to
          eliminate obligations to NME to provide additional financing to
          the Company.  The Recapitalization was financed through (i) the
          issuance to NME of $120,000 of payable-in-kind Series D Preferred
          Stock, (ii) the incurrence of a $175,000 five-year term loan
          under a secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the
          "Bank Term Loan"), (iii) the issuance of $175,000 of 10-1/8%
          Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001, (iv) borrowings of $30,000
          under an accounts receivable-backed credit facility and (v) the
          use of approximately $43,000 of cash.  The Bank Term Loan bears
          interest at a floating rate which, as of February 28, 1994, was
          5.75%.

          Hillhaven believes that it will generate sufficient cash to fund

          nine months of 1994 totaled $56,296, compared to $44,256 in the

          Capital expenditures for routine replacements and refurbishment
          of facilities and capital additions amounted to $29,815, compared
          to $20,892 in the prior year.

          Net cash used in financing activities increased to $75,187 from
          $36,897 in the prior year due to the overall reduction in the
          Company's borrowings.  

          On February 28, 1994, NME exercised its warrants to purchase six
          million shares of Hillhaven common stock.  NME tendered shares of
          the Company's payable-in-kind Series D Preferred Stock in payment
          of the $63,300 purchase price.


          Legislative Action

          On August 6, 1993, Congress approved a budget reconciliation
          bill, certain provisions of which will impact the Company's
          future results of operations.  Effective October 1, 1993, the
          elimination of return-on-equity payments and a two-year freeze on
          routine cost limit increases may reduce the Company's Medicare
          revenues by approximately $7,000 annually.  The Company believes
          it can mitigate a major portion of these revenue reductions by
          containing operating cost increases.

          Management believes that the Company will benefit from a series
          of restrictions included in the bill designed to limit access to
          Medicaid coverage.  Individuals targeted by these changes are
          those who can afford to pay for their care but seek Medicaid
          eligibility through "artificial impoverishment" or transfer of
          assets.  The Company cannot estimate the benefit of these
          restrictions on future operating results.   The bill also extends
          (retroactive to July 1, 1992) though December 31, 1994 tax
          incentives for hiring the disadvantaged; the Company expects to
          receive the benefit of approximately $2,500 of these targeted
          jobs tax credits annually.  In the aggregate, management believes
          that the provisions of the budget reconciliation bill will not
          have a material adverse impact on the future operations of the
          Company.

          President Clinton campaigned on health care reform and following
          his election formed a task force to study and formulate a plan
          for reform of the United States' health care system.  On October
          27, 1993, President Clinton submitted the American Health
          Security Act of 1993 (the "Health Security Act") to Congress for
          consideration.  The Health Security Act, which is designed to
          guarantee health coverage to all United States citizens and legal
          residents and to create regional alliances to negotiate contracts
          with qualified health plans, is currently being studied by the
          relevant Congressional committees.  At the same time, numerous 
          other health care reform proposals have been introduced by
          members of the House of Representatives and the Senate.  These
          proposals range from the formation a single payor system to the 

          <PAGE>








          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



          creation of health plan purchasing cooperatives to pool the 
          purchasing power of individuals and employees of small
          businesses, or the formation of purchasing groups to negotiate 
          contracts with health plans and offer them to individuals.  These
          proposals also differ on the treatments of long term care
          services.  While it is expected that health care reform
          legislation will be enacted, the exact nature or extent of such
          legislation has yet to be determined.  In any case, it is
          possible that any legislation passed will have an effect on the
          operation and finances of the Company.
