Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- - ------    ------------------------------------ 

               On June 2, 1998 Ramsay Managed Care, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("RMCI"), the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the sale of all of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value (the "FPM
Shares"), of FPM Behavioral Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-
owned subsidiary of RMCI which constituted all of the operating activities of
RMCI ("FPMBH"), to Horizon Health Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Buyer"). FPMBH is engaged in the business of providing managed behavioral
health care services, employee assistance programs and other related behavioral
health care services to health maintenance organizations and self-insured
employers in nine states. No material relationships exist between the Buyer, its
affiliates, officers or directors, and the Registrant, its affiliates, officers
or directors.

               The purchase price for FPMBH was $20,000,000 in cash (of which
$1,000,000 is being held in escrow), subject to certain post-closing
adjustments.  Further information concerning the sale of Horizon is contained in
the Registrant's press release dated June 2, 1998 (see Exhibit 99.1 hereto),
which press release is incorporated herein by reference.

               The determination of the consideration for the sale of the FPM
Shares was based on arms length negotiations between the Registrant and the
Buyer.

               On June 2, 1998, Greenbrier Hospital, Inc., a Louisiana
corporation ("Greenbrier"), the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary completed
the sale of substantially all of the assets and business of Greenbrier (the
"Greenbrier Facility") to Provider Options Holdings, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited
liability company

                                 Page 2 of 15
<PAGE>
 
("Provider").  The Greenbrier Facility was engaged in the operation of
Greenbrier Psychiatric Hospital.  No material relationships exist between
Provider, its affiliates, officers or members, and the Registrant, its
affiliates, officers or directors.

               The purchase price for the Greenbrier Facility was $1,600,000 in
cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Further information
concerning the sale of the Greenbrier Facility is contained in the Registrant's
press release dated June 5, 1998 (see Exhibit 99.2 hereto), which press release
is incorporated herein by reference.

               The determination of the consideration for the sale of the
Greenbrier Facility was based on arms length negotiations between the Registrant
and Provider.

               The net proceeds from these sales were used by the Registrant to
prepay a portion of its outstanding indebtedness.

          (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information:
               ------------------------------- 

          The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet of the
Registrant as of March 31, 1998 gives effect to the sale of the FPM Shares and
the sale of the Greenbrier Facility, assuming these sales had been consummated
on March 31, 1998.  The following unaudited pro forma condensed statements of
operations of the Registrant for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 (i) give effect to the sale of the FPM Shares as
of June 10, 1997 (the date RMCI was acquired by the Registrant) (ii) assume the
sale of the Greenbrier Facility had been consummated on July 1, 1996 and (iii)
exclude any gain or loss directly attributable to these transactions.

          The information contained in the column entitled "Historical RHCI" in
the condensed balance sheet and statement of operations as of and for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 is summarized from the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Registrant included in its March 31, 1998 Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
information contained in the column entitled "Historical RHCI" in the condensed
statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 is summarized
from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Registrant included in
its June 30, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

          The pro forma condensed financial statements are presented for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations which would actually have occurred if the sale
of the FPM

Shares and the sale of the Greenbrier Facility had been consummated as of the

            HORIZON HEALTH CORPORATION AND RAMSAY HEALTH CARE, INC.
               ANNOUNCE THE SALE OF FPM BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, INC.


     Horizon Health Corporation (Nasdaq: HORC) and Coral Gables, Florida-based
Ramsay Health Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: RHCI) announced today that, effective June 1,
1998, Horizon acquired from Ramsay all the outstanding capital stock of FPM
Behavioral Health, Inc. of Winter Park, Florida.  The purchase price was
$20,000,000 in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.  As a result
of the acquisition, FPM Behavioral Health, Inc. has become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Horizon.

     FPM provides managed behavioral health care services, employee assistance
programs (EAP) and other related behavioral health care services to health
maintenance organizations and self-insured employers.  At February 28, 1998, FPM
had 46 contracts covering approximately 1,135,000 lives in 9 states.  FPM
provides its services both through health care professionals employed by FPM and
through independent health care professional that have contracted with FPM on a
fee-for-service basis.  At April 1998, the FPM provider network was composed of
over 2,000 providers.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, FPM revenues

million.

     With the FPM acquisition, Horizon, through its subsidiaries, will have
approximately 200 contracts for the provision of EAP and mental health services
covering nearly 2.0 million lives.

     Horizon plans to consolidate its previously acquired Florida PPS subsidiary
into FPM's operations prior to the close of its current fiscal year on August
31, 1998.  As a result of this and other factors, Horizon expects the
acquisition of FPM to be accretive to its fiscal 1999 earnings.

     James Ken Newman, Chairman of Horizon Health Corporation, said, "We are
very pleased with the successful completion of the FPM acquisition.  The FPM
acquisition further expands our capabilities in the provision of employee
assistance programs and other behavioral health care services offered by
Horizon.  The FPM acquisition continues the diversification of our business
operations consistent with our overall business plan."

     Ramsay Health Care Chairman of the Board, Paul J. Ramsay, stated, "We
are very pleased with the consummation of this transaction because it begins to
solidify our debt reduction strategy."

     Luia E. Lamela, Chief Executive Officer of Ramsay Health Care, Inc.
commented, "This transaction reaffirms our commitment to Ramsay Health Care,
Inc.'s new strategic direction which focuses on the Youth Services Industry."
