Part I Registrant Information
Consolidated Health Care Associates, Inc.
38 Pond Street, Suite 305
Franklin, Massachusetts 02038
Part II The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part
III of this form could not be eliminated without
unreasonable effort or expense.
Part II Narrative
Consolidated Health Care Associates, Inc.
("Consolidated") does not have the ability to file
the required report 10KSB within the time frame
required. Consolidated shall file the required
report on or before the twenty-fourth calendar day
following the prescribed due date;
Consolidated has been involved with a number of
dispositions that have been time consuming and
complicated. The ability to complete the
accounting and dissemination of each transaction
has taken an inordinate amount of time to complete
due to the complexity of each transaction.
It is anticipated that with the additional time
the reporting will be able to be completed.
Part IV Contact Person
Robert M. Whitty, President
(508) 543-5055
All other periodic reports required under Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
during the preceding twelve (12) months that the
Registrant was required to file such reports have
been filed.
It is anticipated that significant changes in
results of operations from the corresponding
period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the earning statement to be included in the
subject report.
The results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 will differ significantly from
the results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The primary reasons for the
difference are that the year ended December 31,
1997, Consolidated disposed of significant
operations while during the year ended December
31, 1996, Consolidated operated those facilities
for the full or portion of the year. The Company
is not now able to set forth quantitatively the
results of such diversities based upon the
information currently available.
Consolidated Health Care Associates, Inc. (name of
Registrant as specified in charter) has caused
this notification to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
