                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1--REPORTING ENTITY
 
  Vencor, Inc. ("Vencor") operates an integrated network of healthcare
services primarily focused on the needs of the elderly. At September 30, 1996,
Vencor operated 37 hospitals, 313 nursing centers, a contract services
business ("Vencare") which provides respiratory therapy, rehabilitation
therapy and subacute medical services primarily to nursing centers, 51 retail
and institutional pharmacy outlets and 22 independent and assisted living
communities with 3,022 units.
 
  On September 28, 1995, Vencor consummated a merger with The Hillhaven
Corporation ("Hillhaven") in a tax-free, stock-for-stock transaction (the
"Hillhaven Merger"). See Note 5.
 
  Prior to its merger with Vencor, Hillhaven consummated a merger with
Nationwide Care, Inc. ("Nationwide") on June 30, 1995 in a tax-free, stock-
for-stock transaction (the "Nationwide Merger"). See Note 6.
 
  In the third quarter of 1996, Vencor completed an initial public offering
related to its independent and assisted living business through the issuance
of 5,750,000 common shares of Atria Communities, Inc. ("Atria") (the "IPO").
See Note 7.
 
NOTE 2--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The Hillhaven and Nationwide Mergers have been accounted for by the pooling-
of-interests method. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements give retroactive effect to these transactions and include
the combined operations of Vencor, Hillhaven and Nationwide for all periods
presented.
 
  In connection with the IPO, Vencor retained a controlling interest in Atria.
Accordingly, the accounts of Atria continue to be consolidated with those of
Vencor, and management has recorded minority interests in the earnings and
equity of Atria since consummation of the IPO.
 
  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include
all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally required in annual reports on Form 10-K.
Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements of Vencor for the year ended
December 31, 1995 filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
 
  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Vencor's customary accounting practices and have
not been audited. Management believes that the financial information included
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim
results and, except as discussed in Note 8, all such adjustments are of a
normal and recurring nature.
 
NOTE 3--REVENUES
 
  Revenues are recorded based upon estimated amounts due from patients and
third-party payors for healthcare services provided, including anticipated
settlements under reimbursement agreements with Medicare, Medicaid and other
third-party payors.

NOTE 4--EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
  The computation of earnings per common and common equivalent share give
retroactive effect to the Hillhaven and Nationwide Mergers and is based upon
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In addition, the
1996 computations also include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents
consisting primarily of stock options.
 
NOTE 5--HILLHAVEN MERGER
 
  On September 27, 1995, the stockholders of both Vencor and Hillhaven
approved the Hillhaven Merger, effective on September 28, 1995. In connection
with the Hillhaven Merger, each share of Hillhaven common stock was converted
on a tax-free basis into 0.935 of a share of Vencor common stock, resulting in
the issuance of approximately 31,651,000 Vencor common shares.
 
  The Hillhaven Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and
accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the Hillhaven Merger and include the combined operations of Vencor
and Hillhaven for all periods presented. A summary of the results of
operations of the separate entities for the respective periods ended September
30, 1995 follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 7--INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
  In the third quarter of 1996, Vencor completed the IPO, the net proceeds
from which aggregated approximately $53.1 million. At September 30, 1996,
Vencor owned 10,000,000 shares, or 63.1%, of Atria common stock. Significant
agreements related to the IPO are discussed below.
 
 Credit Facility
 
  Concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, Atria entered into a bank
credit facility (the "Atria Credit Facility"), which will mature in four years
and may be extended at the option of the banks for an additional year. The
Atria Credit Facility aggregates up to $200 million, including a letter of
credit option not to exceed $70 million. Loans under the Atria Credit Facility
will bear interest, at Atria's option, at either (i) a base rate based on PNC
Bank's prime rate or the daily federal funds rate or (ii) a LIBOR rate, plus
an additional percentage based on certain leverage ratios. The obligations
under the Atria Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of Atria's
property, the capital stock of Atria's present and future principal
subsidiaries and all intercompany indebtedness owed to Atria by its
subsidiaries. The Atria Credit Facility is conditioned upon, among other
things, Vencor's ownership of at least 30% of Atria's common stock.
 
 Agreements with Atria
 
  Atria and Vencor or its subsidiaries have entered into certain arrangements
which are intended to facilitate an orderly transition of Atria from a
division of Vencor to a separate publicly held entity which will be minimally
disruptive to both Atria and Vencor. In addition to various agreements related
to administrative support, shared services and real estate leases, significant
agreements with Atria include:
 
    Guarantees--Vencor will guarantee for four years certain borrowings by
  Atria under the Atria Credit Facility in amounts up to $100 million in the
  first year following the IPO, declining to $75 million, $50 million and $25
  million in each respective year thereafter.
 
    Income Taxes--A tax sharing agreement provides for risk-sharing
  arrangements in connection with various income tax related issues.
 
    Registration Rights--Atria has granted demand and piggyback registration
  rights to Vencor with respect to registration under the Securities Act of
  1933 of Atria common stock owned by Vencor. Four demand registrations are
  permitted. Atria will pay the fees and expenses of two demand registrations
  and the piggyback registrations, while Vencor will pay all underwriting
  discounts and commissions. The registration rights expire five years from
  the completion of the IPO and are subject to certain conditions and
  limitations, including the right of underwriters of an offering to limit
  the number of shares owned by Vencor included in such registration.

    Liabilities and Indemnifications--Atria has agreed to assume all
  contractual liabilities relating to the assets transferred by Vencor to
  Atria.
 
NOTE 8--NON-RECURRING TRANSACTIONS
 
  In the third quarter of 1995, Vencor recorded pretax charges aggregating
$128.4 million primarily in connection with the Hillhaven Merger. The charges
included (i) $23.2 million of investment advisory and professional fees, (ii)
$53.8 million of employee benefit plan and severance costs, (iii) $26.9
million of losses associated with the planned disposition of certain nursing
center properties and (iv) $24.5 million of losses to reflect Vencor's change
in estimates of accrued revenues recorded in connection with certain prior-
year nursing center third-party reimbursement issues (recorded as a reduction
of revenues).
 
  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 include
pretax charges of $5.5 million recorded in the second quarter related to the
Nationwide Merger.
 
NOTE 9--STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
 
  In June 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
2,000,000 shares of Vencor common stock. During the third quarter of 1996,
Vencor repurchased 1,550,000 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately
$43.7 million.
 
  Subsequent to September 30, 1996, Vencor repurchased an additional 301,600
shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $8.8 million.

    ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
 
  The Hillhaven Merger was consummated on September 28, 1995. At the time of
the Hillhaven Merger, Hillhaven operated 311 nursing centers, 56 retail and
institutional pharmacies and 23 independent and assisted living communities
with 3,122 units. Annualized revenues approximated $1.7 billion.
 
  Prior to its merger with Vencor, Hillhaven completed the Nationwide Merger
on June 30, 1995. At the time of the Nationwide Merger, Nationwide operated 23
nursing centers containing 3,257 licensed beds and four independent and
assisted living communities with 442 units. Annualized revenues approximated
$125 million.
 
  As discussed in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Hillhaven and Nationwide Mergers have been accounted for by the pooling-
of-interests method. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements and financial and operating data included herein give
retroactive effect to these transactions and include the combined operations
of Vencor, Hillhaven and Nationwide for all periods presented.
 
  In the third quarter of 1996, Vencor retained approximately 63% of its
interest in Atria upon consummation of the IPO. For accounting purposes, the
accounts of Atria continue to be consolidated with those of Vencor and
management has recorded minority interests in the earnings and equity of Atria
since consummation of the IPO.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Vencor operates an integrated network of healthcare services focused
primarily on the needs of the elderly through the operation of hospitals,
nursing centers and ancillary services businesses which include Vencare,
pharmacies, and independent and assisted living communities. A summary of

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
the third quarter of 1996 and 21% to 438,548 for the first nine months of 1996
from the respective periods a year ago.
 
  As part of its integrated growth strategy, Vencor intends to expand its
subacute medical and rehabilitation services provided in its nursing centers
and reduce the percentage of patient days attributable to custodial patient
care. Patient days related to subacute care grew 14% to 478,448 in the third
quarter and 20% to 1,475,058 in the nine month period, while patient days
related to custodial care declined 2% in the third quarter to 2,693,457 and 3%
to 7,931,848 in the nine month period. Revenues related to custodial care
during both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
adversely impacted by a decline in private pay patient days.
 
  Growth in ancillary services revenues in both periods of 1996 was primarily
attributable to the expansion of the Vencare contract services business, which
provides respiratory and rehabilitation therapy services and subacute care
primarily to nursing centers.
 
  Income from operations totaled $33.6 million and $92.0 million in the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to losses of $82.1
million and $42.6 million during the same periods of 1995. Excluding the
effect of non-recurring transactions, income from operations increased 24% in
the third quarter and 26% for the nine month period. The improvement in both
periods resulted primarily from (i) growth in hospital patient days, Vencare
contracts and nursing center subacute volumes and (ii) reductions in interest
expense resulting from refinancing activities and reductions of long-term
debt.
 
  Upon consummation of the Hillhaven Merger, Vencor recorded certain pretax
charges aggregating $128.4 million related primarily to merger transaction
costs, employee benefit plans, consolidation and restructuring activities, and
changes in nursing center accounting estimates. The consolidation of
duplicative corporate and operational functions was substantially completed
during the third quarter of 1996, and management expects that dispositions of
certain nursing center properties will be concluded in 1997.
 
LIQUIDITY
 
  Cash provided by operations totaled $165.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $114.6 million for the same period of 1995. The
increase was attributable to growth in net income, reductions in income tax
payments and improved controls over collections of accounts receivable.
 
  Net cash used in investing activities totaled $50.0 million and $150.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Vencor's investing activities included capital expenditures related to the
development and acquisition of new facilities and expansion of existing
operations totaling $111.6 million and $147.6 million for the respective
periods. In addition, Vencor substantially reduced its notes receivable
portfolio in 1996 through the collection of $54.6 million.
 
  Net cash used in financing activities totaled $6.6 million in the first nine
months of 1996, while net cash provided by financing activities totaled $74.0
million for the same period of 1995. Net cash used in financing activities in
1996 includes net reductions of long-term debt of $15.5 million, proceeds from
the Atria IPO of $53.1 million and the repurchase of 1,550,000 shares of
Vencor common stock at an aggregate cost of $43.7 million. Net cash provided
by financing activities in 1995 includes a net increase in long-term debt of
$115.1 million, proceeds of $66.5 million from the public offering of
2,200,000 shares of Vencor common stock, and payments of $91.3 million related
to the redemption of all outstanding preferred stock in connection with the
Hillhaven Merger.

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 
LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)
 
  Since the consummation of the Hillhaven Merger, Vencor has maintained a $1
billion bank credit facility (the "Vencor Credit Facility"). At September 30,
1996, available borrowings under the Vencor Credit Facility approximated $350
million. Following completion of the IPO, Atria consummated the Atria Credit
Facility in the aggregate amount of $200 million to finance its expansion and
development program. At September 30, 1996, amounts available under the Atria
Credit Facility approximated $135 million.
 
  Working capital totaled $316.8 million at September 30, 1996 compared to
$239.7 million at December 31, 1995. Cash and cash equivalents at September
30, 1996 includes $65.3 million related to Atria, a substantial portion of
which will be used to finance Atria's expansion and development program, and
approximately $28.1 million of proceeds from notes receivable which were
collected on the last day of the quarter. Management believes that cash flows
from operations and amounts available under the bank credit agreements are
sufficient to meet future expected liquidity needs.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures totaled $85.4 million in the
first nine months of 1996 compared to $102.3 million for the same period of
1995. Planned capital expenditures in 1996 (excluding acquisitions) related to
the improvement and expansion of existing properties and construction of new
facilities are expected to approximate $140 million and include significant
expenditures related to the expansion of the independent and assisted living
business. Management believes that its capital expenditure program is adequate
to expand, improve and equip existing facilities. At September 30, 1996, the
estimated cost to complete and equip construction in progress approximated $60
million.
 
  Vencor also expended $26.2 million and $45.3 million for acquisitions of new
facilities (and related healthcare businesses) and previously leased nursing
centers during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management intends to acquire additional hospitals, nursing
centers and related healthcare businesses in the future.
 
  Capital expenditures were financed primarily through internally generated
funds and, in 1995, from the public offering of 2,200,000 shares of Vencor
common stock, the proceeds from which aggregated $66.5 million. Vencor intends
to finance a substantial portion of its capital expenditures with internally
generated funds, issuance of long-term debt and, with respect to Atria,
proceeds from the IPO. Sources of capital include available borrowings under
existing bank credit agreements, public or private debt and equity.
 
HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION
 
  Congress is currently considering various proposals which could reduce
expenditures under certain government health and welfare programs, including
Medicare and Medicaid. Management cannot predict whether such proposals will
be adopted, or if adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals would have on
its business.
 
  Medicare revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 31% and 29% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively,
while Medicaid percentages of revenues approximated 31% and 33% for the
respective periods.

OTHER INFORMATION
 
  Various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are
pending against Vencor. Resolution of such litigation and other loss
contingencies is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Vencor's
liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
 
  The Vencor Credit Facility and the Atria Credit Facility contain covenants
which, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios and
limit amounts of additional debt, capital expenditures and purchases of common
stock. Vencor was in substantial compliance with all such covenants at
September 30, 1996.
 
  In connection with the Atria Credit Facility, Vencor will guarantee for four
years certain borrowings by Atria in amounts up to $100 million in the first
year following the IPO, declining to $75 million, $50 million and $25 million
in each respective year thereafter.
