                   CONSOLIDATED RESOURCES HEALTH CARE FUND IV
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  June 30, 1997

NOTE 1.

The consolidated  financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments)  which are, in the opinion of
management,  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the  financial  position and
operating results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto  contained  in the
Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1996,
as  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  a copy of which is
available  upon  request  by  writing to  WelCare  Service  Corporation-IV  (the
"Managing  General  Partner"),  at 400  Perimeter  Center  Terrace,  Suite  650,
Atlanta, Georgia, 30346.

NOTE 3.
A  summary  of  compensation   paid  to  or  accrued  for  the  benefit  of  the
Partnership's  general partners and their affiliates and amounts  reimbursed for
costs incurred by these parties the on behalf of the Partnership are as follows:
                                Six Months Ended
                                    June 30,
                                    1997 1996

Charged to costs and expenses:
Property management and oversight
management fees                          $ 95,421   $ 103,370
Financial accounting, data processing,
tax reporting, legal and compliance,
investor relations and supervision
of outside services                      $ 29,125   $  30,554


NOTE 4:

Effective July 31,1997, the Partnership  completed the sale of its two remaining
skilled nursing facilities  Heritage Manor of Emporia ("Emporia") and Hoisington
Rehabilitation Center ("Hoisington").  The total sales price for both facilities
net of required  repairs  was  $2,050,000.  Proceeds  from the sale were used to
satisfy  approximately  $1,640,000 in mortgage debt  obligations  secured by the
facilities.  The  Partnership  received net proceeds of  approximately  $380,000
following  the  satisfaction  of the debt and  payment  of  sales  expenses  and
property taxes.  The Partnership  will recognize a gain on sale of approximately
$1,400,000 during the third quarter of 1997.

Prior to their  repayment,  the  Partnership's  two  mortgage  debt  obligations
secured by  Emporia  and  Hoisington  were in default  since  these  obligations
matured on April 1, 1996. The Partnership  obtained an extension from the lender
to allow for the sale of the facilities.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in this Management  Discussion and Analysis are not
based on historical  facts,  but are  forward-looking  statements that are based
upon numerous  assumptions  about future conditions that may ultimately prove to
be inaccurate.  Actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated
results described in such statements.  The Partnership's ability to achieve such
results  is  subject  to  certain  risks  and  uncertainties.   Such  risks  and
uncertainties   include,   but  are  not  limited  to,   changes  in  healthcare
reimbursement systems and rates, the availability of prospective  purchasers for
its facilities,  and other factors affecting the Partnership's business that may
be beyond its control.

At June 30, 1997,  the  Partnership  had three  general  partners  (the "General
Partners"),  WelCare  Consolidated  Resources  Corporation of America,  a Nevada
corporation, serving as the corporate general partner ("WCRCA" or the "Corporate
General   Partner"),   Consolidated   Associates   IV,   and   WelCare   Service
Corporation-IV   ("WSC-IV"  or  the  "Managing  General  Partner"),   a  Georgia
Corporation, serving as managing general partner.

Plan of Operations

A  majority  in  interest  of the  Partnership's  Limited  Partners  approved  a
proposal,  on  October  18,  1994,  which  provides  for the  sale of all of the
Partnership's  remaining assets and the eventual dissolution of the Partnership,
as outlined in a proxy statement  dated  September 28, 1994.  Under the approved
proposal,  the Limited  Partners  consented for the Managing  General Partner to
attempt to sell or  otherwise  dispose  of its  remaining  properties.  Upon the
disposition  of all of its  assets,  the  approved  proposal  requires  that the
Managing General Partner dissolve the Partnership.

As  discussed  in Item  1,  Note  4,  the  Partnership  sold  its two  remaining
facilities  and satisfied the underlying  mortgage debt  obligations on July 31,
1997. The Managing General Partner currently anticipates the Partnership will be
liquidated prior to the end of 1997. At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the
Partnership  held  available  for  sale  all of  its  nursing  home  facilities.
Accordingly,  the Partnership has classified the facilities as Property held for
sale in the accompanying balance sheets.


Results of Operations

Six Months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

Revenues:

Operating  revenue  decreased by $49,563 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
compared  to the same  period  in the  prior  year.  This  decrease  was  caused
primarily by lower census at both of the Partnership's remaining facilities. The
Emporia facility has experienced a decrease patient census due to a newly opened
home health agency in the community while the Hoisington facility  traditionally
experiences a decrease in census in the spring and summer months.

Expenses:

Operating expenses decreased by $110,273 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
as  compared  to the same  period  in the  prior  year.  Most of this  decrease
resulted  from a reduction in operating  expenses at Emporia due  primarily to a
decline  in  staffing  levels  corresponding  with the  decrease  in  census  as
previously  discussed.  The  decrease  at Emporia  was offset in part by general
increases in costs at Hoisington.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1997, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $461,450,  a
decrease of $262,119 from the amount held at December 31, 1996. The cash balance
is being held in reserve for working capital, capital improvements and operating
contingencies.

As discussed in Item 1, Note 4, the Partnership sold its last two properties and
in conjunction with the sale,  satisfied its remaining  secured debt obligations
and received  cash of  approximately  $380,000  from the  closing.  Current cash
reserves should be sufficient to meet the Partnership's obligations prior to its
liquidation,  which is currently  scheduled to occur sometime  before the end of
1997.  As of June 30, 1997,  the  Partnership  was not  obligated to perform any
major capital additions or renovations and has no remaining capital  obligations
with respect to its recently sold facilities.

Significant   changes  have  and  will   continue  to  be  made  in   government
reimbursement  programs, and such changes could have a material impact on future
reimbursement  formulas.  Based on information  currently available,  Management
does not believe that proposed  legislation  will have an adverse  effect on the
Partnership's  operations.  However,  as  health  care  reform is  ongoing,  the
long-term effects of such changes cannot be accurately  predicted at the present
time.

Purchaser  will not violate in any  Material  respect any  provision of Seller's
Amended and Restated  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership  or any laws  governing
Seller.  Except as may be disclosed in Exhibit "J", the  execution,  delivery or
performance  of  this  Agreement,   or  the  consummation  of  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby, or compliance with any of the terms or conditions  hereof,
will not  result in the breach in any  Material  respect by Seller of any of the

a party, or to which it or its property is bound, or constitute a default in any
Material respect under such agreements or instruments.

representations and warranties of the Seller contained herein.
      3.28. Accuracy of Information. No representations, warranties or covenants
by Seller, the officers or directors of its general partner,  nor any statement,
list or certificate  furnished or to be furnished to Purchaser  pursuant hereto,

then the Closing  shall be effective on the Closing  Date.  Failure to close the

this Agreement, and so long as this Agreement is not so terminated,  the parties
shall  continue  in good  faith to  undertake  to  consummate  the  transactions
contemplated in this Agreement as soon as practicable.

and Personal Property,  including, without limitation, any mortgage,  indenture,

      unaltered in all Material respects;  provided, however, that such consents

      reasonable determination of the Purchaser,  have a Material adverse effect
      on the  business,  financial  condition or results of operations of any of
      the Facilities;  provided, further, however, that none of such consents or
      other assurances shall be given on terms that Materially  adversely affect

      use of such  property,  or (C) the  Permitted  Title  Exceptions  and (ii)
      containing no survey  exceptions or exclusions from coverage that indicate

            (g) Casualty Losses. On or prior to the time of Closing, each of the
      Facilities shall not have sustained any loss,  whether or not insured,  by
      reason  of  physical  damage  to the  Facilities  caused  by fire,  flood,

      affect the carrying on of its business in the normal and regular course.

      attention of Purchaser  reasonably  indicating or suggesting  that
      the financial  information  regarding  each of the  Facilities and
      Seller  is  incorrect  or  incomplete  in  any  Material  respect.
      Without  limiting  the  foregoing,   any   investigation   of,  or
      information  obtained  with  respect  to,  Seller  or  any  of the
      Facilities  by  Purchaser,  or  any  exhibit  or  schedule  or any
      supplement hereto or any other document  delivered to Purchaser in
      connection with this Agreement,  shall not have revealed any facts
      or circumstances  which, in the reasonable  judgment of Purchaser,
      reflect in a Materially  adverse way on the  financial  condition,
      assets, liabilities (absolute,  accrued or contingent),  reserves,
      business or operations of any of the Facilities.

      order to document more effectively the  transactions  contemplated
      by this  Agreement or to evidence the compliance by Purchaser with
      any condition of this Agreement.
      6.10.  Conditions  Precedent  to  Obligations  of  Seller.  All  of  the

      ineligible for Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement if owned by Purchaser.
SECTION 7.  CONDEMNATION, RISK OF LOSS.
      7.01. Condemnation.  In the event of the imminent threat or institution of
any proceedings,  judicial,  administrative or otherwise,  which shall relate to
the  proposed  taking of any  substantial  portion of any of the  Facilities  by
eminent  domain prior to Closing,  Purchaser  shall have the right and option to
terminate  this  Agreement  at any time  prior to  Closing  by giving the Seller
written notice to such effect. Seller hereby agrees to furnish Purchaser written
notification  with  respect to such events of taking  within three (3) days from
Seller's receipt of any notification of such events.  If Purchaser should decide
to terminate  this  Agreement  as provided  above,  the parties  hereto shall be
released from their respective  obligations and liabilities  hereunder.  As used
herein,  a  "substantial  portion"  of a  facilities  shall be deemed to include
without  limitation  (i) five (5%)  percent  or greater of the number of patient
rooms or licensed  beds at the  facilities,  (ii) a taking which would close any
one  entrance or exit of the  facilities,  or (iii) a taking which would cause a
loss of future gross revenues in an amount greater than ten (10%) percent of the
Facility's  most recent annual gross  revenues or which would cause a closing of
the operations of the facilities.
      In the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement  because
of such taking, at the Closing hereof,  Seller shall assign to Purchaser all its
right, title and interest in and to any proceeds arising out of such taking.
      7.02.  Risk  of  Loss.  Risk  of  loss  with  respect  to  each  of  the
Facilities  is assumed by Seller until  Closing.  In the event that a Facility
is  substantially  damaged  by fire or other  casualty  prior to the  Closing,
Purchaser, at its option, may:
            (a) Elect to terminate  this Agreement upon giving written notice of
      such termination to Seller, whereupon the parties hereto shall be released
      from their respective obligations hereunder, or
            (b) Elect to close the sale,  whereupon  Purchaser shall be entitled
      to and shall receive an assignment of the proceeds of any insurance due to
      Seller with respect to such fire or other  casualty.  Aggregate  damage of
      $100,000 or more shall be deemed substantial for a
Facility, without excluding other damage that may be substantial.
      In the event that the Closing  occurs,  unless the damages are  repaired
in full by Seller  prior to Closing,  Purchaser  shall be entitled to receive an
assignment  of the  proceeds  of any  insurance  due to Seller  (but only to the
extent of proceeds  in excess of the  amounts  expended by Seller on any repairs
related to damage for which such  proceeds  are due to Seller)  with  respect to
fire or other casualty losses  occurring  between the date of this Agreement and
the  Closing  Date,  notwithstanding  the fact that such  losses  are not deemed
substantial. SECTION 8. INSPECTION.
      8.01. Right to Inspect. The Purchaser, or its agents, has had the right to
inspect the physical condition,  environmental condition,  structural competency
and good working order of each of the Facilities (including, without limitation,
the heating, air conditioning,  sewer, plumbing,  antenna and electrical systems
contained  therein) prior to Closing.  At Closing Purchaser agrees to accept the
Facilities  in their "as is"  condition,  subject  however,  to the  Purchaser's
rights with  respect to the deferred  maintenance  items as set forth in Section
3.08.
      8.02.  Environmental  Audits;  Surveys.  Commencing  upon the date of this
Agreement and extending through Closing  hereunder,  Purchaser has had the right
to enter the Facilities personally or through agents,  employees and contractors
for the  purpose  of making  boundary  line and  topographical  surveys of same,
making  soil  tests  thereof  and  in  general   making   tests,   analyses  and
investigations of the Facilities.
      8.03.  Inspection  of Records.  Prior to Closing,  all leases,  books or
records of Seller  pertaining  to each of the  Facilities  may be inspected by
Purchaser  at the  Facilities,  and  Purchaser  shall be supplied  with copies
thereof by Seller upon request.
      8.04.  Seller's Options.  Pursuant to Purchaser's right to inspect each of
the Facilities as provided in Section 8.01, hereof,  Purchaser shall endeavor to
furnish  Seller with a written list of all defects in  environmental  condition,
physical condition,  structural competency or good working order which Purchaser
discovers  prior to the  Closing  Date with  respect to each of the  Facilities;
provided, however, such defects shall not include the deferred maintenance items
as set forth in Section 3.08. Prior to Closing, Seller shall notify Purchaser in
writing  with respect to each of the  Facilities  that (i) Seller shall and does
thereby  agree to correct or cause to be corrected all such defects prior to the
Closing, (ii) instead of correcting or causing to be corrected all such defects,
Seller shall and does thereby agree to credit  Purchaser at Closing with respect
to the  affected  Facility by a  specified  amount,  itemizing  how much of that
amount is  applicable  to each  defect,  or (iii)  Seller shall and does thereby
agree to correct or cause to be corrected only certain  specified  defects prior
to Closing,  or shall  credit  Purchaser  at Closing by a specified  amount with
respect to only certain itemized  defects,  or both.  Seller's failure timely to
give Purchaser such written notice by the Closing Date shall be deemed to be and
shall constitute  Seller's notice as provided in (ii) above. In the event Seller
notifies  Purchaser  that Seller shall not correct or cause to be corrected such
defects prior to the Closing under the provisions  above,  Purchaser may, at its
option, after receiving such notice, terminate this Agreement and be entitled to
have any  earnest  money or  other  deposits,  if any,  returned  to  Purchaser,
whereupon this  Agreement  shall be of no further force or effect and neither of
the parties hereto shall have any liability or obligations each to the other. If
Seller  agrees to cure  such  defects  prior to  Closing  or if  Seller  informs
Purchaser  that Seller shall not correct or cause to be  corrected  such defects
prior to Closing under the provisions of (ii) or (iii) above, and Purchaser does
not terminate this  Agreement  prior to Closing,  then prior to Closing,  Seller
must  correct  or cause to be  corrected  such  defects or credit  Purchaser  at
Closing,  or both,  and  Purchaser's  notification  with respect to such list of
defects shall become part of this  Agreement  without any further  action by the
parties  hereto.  Seller's  obligations  hereunder  to  correct  or  cause to be
corrected  any  defects  shall  survive  the  Closing as  provided in Section 13
hereof.
      8.05. Terms and Conditions of  Inspections.  Any  inspections  conducted
pursuant  to this  Section 8  shall be at any time  subject  to the  following
terms and conditions:
            (a)   Seller shall have received  reasonable  advance notice
      thereof;
            (b)   No such  inspection  shall  interfere  with the normal
      day-to-day operation of each of the Facilities; and
            (c) No due  diligence  objection  to  Closing  shall  be  raised  by
      Purchaser  after the Closing Date (unless  otherwise  agreed in the Escrow
      Agreement).
SECTION 9.  TERMINATION.
      9.01.  Circumstances  of  Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated
with respect to the Facilities in the following circumstances:
            (a) The  conditions  to the Agreement in Section 5 and Section 8 are
      not satisfied or the  termination  circumstances  as set forth in Sections
      7.01, 7.02 and 13 occur.
            (b) The Closing begins or would otherwise occur and Purchaser is not
      obligated to close  pursuant to Section 6.07 or Seller is not obligated to
      close pursuant to Section 6.10.
            (c) Seller  determines,  in its sole  discretion,  to  exercise  its
      termination  option and pays to Purchaser,  the  reasonable  amount of its
      actual costs incurred in the  transaction to the date of the  termination,
      plus $6,000, which sums shall be paid to Purchaser as a termination fee in
      lieu of damages  or any other sums and as  Purchaser's  sole  remedy  with
      respect to such termination; provided, however, such sums shall not exceed
      $10,000 for each of the Facilities.  9.02. Effect of Termination.  If this
      Agreement is terminated pursuant
to Section 9.01, this Agreement shall be deemed thenceforth null and void and no
party hereto shall have any  obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement
except as specifically provided herein.
      9.03.  Damages  Upon  Termination.  If  Purchaser  fails to  tender  the
Purchase  Price to Seller  at the  Closing  or fails to  perform  as  required
herein or Seller  fails to perform as required  herein,  then either party may
exercise  any  rights or  remedies  available  to it under  law or at  equity,
including,  without  limitation,  specific  performance  and  such  rights  or
remedies may be exercised  by either  party  concurrently  or in such order as
such party may elect.
SECTION 10.  BROKER'S COMMISSION.
      Each of  Purchaser  and  Seller  respectfully  warrants  that there are no
brokers, finders or other consultants acting on behalf of, or at the request of,
Purchaser  or  Seller  in this  transaction.  Seller  shall  indemnify  and hold
Purchaser  harmless  from and against the claims of all persons or entities  who
claim  commissions  through Seller for real estate brokerage fees or commissions
or any other fees arising out of the sale and purchase of all of Seller's right,
title and  interest in or to the  Facilities  or the  transactions  contemplated
hereby.  Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against the
claims of all persons or entities who claim  commissions  through  Purchaser for
real estate  brokerage  fees or commissions or any other fees arising out of the
purchase  or sale of all of  Seller's  right,  title and  interest  in or to the
Facilities or the transactions  contemplated hereby.  SECTION 11. ASSIGNMENT AND
APPROVAL.
      Seller and Purchaser  shall not assign their rights  hereunder or any part
thereof to any person,  firm,  limited  partnership or corporation,  including a
corporation to be formed hereafter,  or other entity,  without the prior written
consent of the other party. SECTION 12. NOTICES.
      All  notices,  demands or requests  provided  for or permitted to be given
pursuant  to  this  Agreement  must be in  writing.  If not  otherwise  provided
hereunder,  all notices,  demands or requests to be sent to any party hereto, or

Agreement  shall  be  declared  invalid  by laws  applicable  thereto,  then the
performance of such offending  provision shall be excused by the parties hereto;
provided, however, that, if the performance of such excused provision Materially

excused  provision  was  inserted  in  this  Agreement  shall  have  the  right,
exercisable  by written  notice  given to the other  party  within ten (10) days
after such  provision  is so declared  invalid,  to  terminate  this  Agreement;
whereupon this  Agreement  shall be null and void. The titles or captions of the
provisions of this Agreement are merely descriptive and are not  representations
of matters included in or excluded from such provisions.  This Agreement and the
agreements  contemplated herein constitute the sole and entire agreement between
the parties hereto, and no modification hereof shall be binding unless set forth

patients for services to be rendered  shall be prorated as of the Closing  Date.
In addition  Purchaser  shall assume the obligation to pay all accounts  payable

extent such accounts  payable have been incurred by CHMC on Seller's  behalf and
to the extent disclosed to Purchaser in writing and attached (or to be attached)
hereto  as  Schedule  14,  subject,  however,  to the  limitations  set forth in
Sections  3.23  (describing  Seller's duty to pay certain  items,  if any, on or

taxes.  Seller  shall pay to  Purchaser  (by means of a credit to  Purchaser  of
amounts  owed to Seller) the amount for all current  wages  payable to employees
through  the  Closing  Date and taxes with  respect  thereto,  and shall pay all
amounts necessary to discharge any and all accrued and/or earned fringe benefits
including, without limitation,  vacation, pay or sick leave, retirement benefits
and  disability  benefits to which  employees  may be entitled as of the Closing
Date.  At Closing,  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a list of any and all such
amounts due employees certified by a responsible officer of Seller. SECTION 16.
PATIENT RECORDS AND PATIENT FUNDS.
      At Closing,  Seller shall  deliver to Purchaser  all patient  records with
respect to the business  conducted in  connection  with each of the  Facilities,
which records  Purchaser shall maintain and make reasonably  available to Seller
for three (3) years after the Closing Date,  and Seller shall provide  Purchaser
with an updated  accounting of all patient funds and other  property of patients
held by Seller as set forth on  Exhibit  "F" and shall  deliver  such  funds and
other property to Purchaser at Closing. SECTION 17. LIABILITIES.
      Except as specifically provided in this Agreement,  Purchaser shall assume
no liabilities of any kind or nature of Seller or any liabilities of any kind or
nature  arising  out of the  business  conducted  with  respect  to  each of the
Facilities prior to the Closing Date.
      Seller  shall be  responsible  for  satisfying  the  creditors  and  trade
suppliers  of each of the  Facilities  in  accordance  with Section 3.23 hereof.
Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser  harmless from and against any and all
cost,  loss,  damage or liability  which  Purchaser may incur as a result of any
"employment loss" as used in the Worker  Adjustment and Retraining  Notification
Act of 1988 at the Facilities occurring on or after the Closing Date as a result
of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.  SECTION  18.  ACCOUNTS  RECEIVABLE.
Accounts  receivable  arising from the  performance  of patient  services at the
Facilities  prior to the  Closing  Date,  including  Seller's  right to  receive
payment  or  reimbursement  for  such  services  from  government   agencies  or
otherwise,  are included in the Facility  Assets to be  transferred  pursuant to
this Agreement.  Accordingly, proceeds received by Seller or by Purchaser or its
manager on behalf of Seller in respect of such accounts  receivable or rights of
payment or  reimbursement  shall be remitted to or received by Purchaser for its
account. SECTION 19. TRANSFER OF THE TRADE NAMES.

      At Closing  Seller shall assign any and all of its  interests in the trade
names used by each of the Facilities to Purchaser.

the Facilities  Assets and shall not be transferred at Closing.  Deposits held
by lenders and others are not  included  in  Facility  Assets and shall not be
transferred at Closing.
SECTION 21.  DELIVERY.
      To the extent  Seller is  obligated  to deliver  records or other items to
Purchaser  at Closing  and such items would be  cumbersome  or  unreasonable  to
remove from the Facilities, such delivery may be made at each of the Facilities,
regardless of the location of the remainder of the Closing.
SECTION 22.  INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER AFTER CLOSING.
      22.01. Indemnification. If the transactions contemplated in this Agreement
are  completed  and  closed and this  Agreement  is not  terminated,  Seller and
Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each other against any loss, damage,
liability  or  expense  (including  without  limitation  legal and  other  fees)
incurred  or  sustained  by that  party as a result  of or  attributable  to any
Material  misrepresentation  or  Material  breach of any  covenant,  warranty or
representation  given or made by the other party and  against any loss,  damage,
liability or expense  (including  without limitation legal and other fees) which
would not have been  incurred  or  sustained  by that  party if such  covenants,
representations  and  warranties  had been  true  and  correct  in all  Material
respects.  Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless  Purchaser against any claim
by any  governmental  entity for Medicare or Medicaid  overpayment  made by such
governmental  entity prior to Closing for any of the Facilities or for recapture
of depreciation resulting from the sale of the Personal Property or other change
giving rise to such recapture.
      22.02.  Tax  Indemnification.  Without  limiting the  requirements  of the
foregoing  Section  22.01,  Seller will  promptly  indemnify  and hold  harmless
Purchaser  against any and all  liability  for or with  respect to taxes for any
taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that is asserted or assessed
against any of the  Facilities.  Notwithstanding  anything in this Section 22 to
the  contrary,  any  indemnity  payable by Seller to  Purchaser  pursuant to the
foregoing  sentence  shall be paid  within (i) ten (10) days  after  Purchaser's
request  therefor or (ii) ten (10) days prior to the date on which the liability
upon which the  indemnity  is based is required to be  satisfied by Purchaser or
the Facilities.
      22.03.   Limitations.   The   foregoing  is  subject  to  the  following
limitations:
            (a) Each  party  shall  promptly  notify  the other  parties  of any
      action, claim, loss or potential action, claim or loss, in regard to which
      action,  claim or loss that party  shall seek or may seek  indemnification
      pursuant to this Section 22, and in any event  within  thirty (30) days or
      such shorter  period as may be necessary to avoid a default  thereof after
      that party has actual knowledge of such action, claim or loss or potential
      action,  claim or loss,  and, at such time,  that party  shall  tender and
      permit the other party to defend, at such other party's expense,  any such
      action, claim or loss.
            (b) Claims  under  this  Section  22,  must be  asserted  within the
      following time periods after the Closing Date:
            Material   misrepresentation   or  Material  breach  of  any
      covenant, warranty or representations - 6 months;
            Any  claim by any  governmental  entity  for  Medicare  or  Medicaid
      overpayment made by such governmental entity prior to Closing - 5 years;
            Recapture of  depreciation  resulting  from the sale of the Personal
      Property or other change giving rise to such recapture - 5 years;
            Tax  indemnification  - later of 5 years or  running  of  applicable
      statute of  limitations.  It is understood  and agreed that any such claim
      may be validly  asserted  by  Purchaser  or Seller  during the  applicable
      period if a claim has been asserted or threatened during such period which
      could result in a loss,  liability,  damage, cost or expense for which the
      Seller or Purchaser would be liable pursuant to this Section 22; and
            (c) Neither  Seller nor Purchaser  shall have rights as to any claim
      pursuant  to this  Section 22 in the event this  Agreement  is  terminated
      prior to the  consummation  of the purchase and sale  contemplated in this
      Agreement.
SECTION 23.  EXHIBITS.
      The parties shall have until Closing,  to agree upon all information to be
filed as a part of the Exhibits to this Agreement.  Failure of the parties to so
reasonably agree within such period shall entitle either party to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice to such effect at Closing.
SECTION 24.  REMEDIES NOT LIMITED TO REAL AND PERSONAL
               PROPERTY.

      The parties shall have all legal and equitable  remedies available to them
for breach of this  Agreement and shall not be limited to recovery from Facility
Assets or proceeds therefrom.
      IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have  executed this Purchase and
Sale Agreement as of the day and year first hereinabove written.
