ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL OVERVIEW

     Integrated  Health  Services,  Inc.  ("IHS" or the "Company") is one of the
nation's leading providers of post-acute healthcare services. Post-acute care is
the  provision of a continuum of care to patients  following  discharge  from an
acute care  hospital.  IHS'  post-acute  care services and products  include (i)
inpatient  services,  including  subacute care,  skilled nursing  facility care,
contract  rehabilitation  and  respiratory,  hospice  services and management of
skilled nursing  facilities  owned by third parties,  (ii) home respiratory care
and durable  medical  equipment  ("DME"),  (iii)  diagnostic  services  and (iv)
lithotripsy,  a  non-invasive  technique  that uses  shockwaves to  disintegrate
kidney stones,  primarily on an outpatient basis. The Company's  post-acute care
network is designed  to address the cost  containment  measures  implemented  by
private  insurers and managed care  organizations  and limitations on government
reimbursement  of  hospital  costs  that have  resulted  in the  discharge  from
hospitals of many  patients who continue to require  medical and  rehabilitative
care. IHS' post-acute  healthcare  system is intended to provide  cost-effective
continuity  of care for its  patients  and enable  payors to  contract  with one
provider to provide all of a patient's needs following discharge from acute care
hospitals. IHS' post-acute care network currently consists of over 1,300 service
locations in 46 states and the District of Columbia.

     The Company's post-acute care network strategy is to provide cost-effective
continuity  of  care  for its  patients,  using  geriatric  care  facilities  as
platforms  to provide a wide  variety of  subacute  medical  and  rehabilitative
services  more  typically  delivered  in the acute  care  hospital  setting.  To
implement  its  post-acute  care  network  strategy,  IHS  has  focused  on  (i)
developing  market  concentration  for its post-acute  care services in targeted
states due to increasing  payor  consolidation  and the increased  preference of
payors, physicians and patients for dealing with only one service provider; (ii)
expanding  the range of  services  it offers to  patients  directly  in order to
provide patients with a continuum of care throughout  their recovery,  to better
control  costs and to meet the growing  desire by payors for one-stop  shopping;
and (iii) developing subacute care units.

     IHS presently  operates 366 geriatric care  facilities (290 owned or leased
and 76 managed), 17 specialty hospitals and nine hospice facilities. The Company
provides a wide range of basic  medical and subacute  care services as well as a
comprehensive  array  of  respiratory,   physical,   speech,   occupational  and
physiatric  therapy in all its geriatric care  facilities.  The Company has over
2,000 contracts to provide services,  primarily physical,  occupational,  speech
and respiratory therapies,  to third-party skilled nursing facilities,  subacute
care centers,  assisted living  facilities,  hospitals and other locations.  IHS
also provides mobile  diagnostics  such as portable x-ray and EKG to patients in
geriatric  care  facilities  and  other  settings,  lithotripsy  services  on an
outpatient  basis,  as well as  diversified  home  respiratory  care  and  other
pharmacy-related  services and products and durable medical  equipment  products
from approximately 800 primarily non-urban locations in 44 states.

     On February 2, 2000, the Company and  substantially all of its subsidiaries
filed  voluntary  petitions  (the  "Bankruptcy  Filings")  in the United  States
Bankruptcy  Court for the District of Delaware  (the  "Bankruptcy  Court") under
Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy  Code.  The  Company's  need to seek
relief under the Bankruptcy Code is due, in part, to the  significant  financial
pressure  created by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Balanced Budget Act")
and  its   implementation,   which,   among  other  things,   changed   Medicare
reimbursement   for  nursing   facilities   from  a   cost-based   retrospective
reimbursement  system to a  prospective  payment  system  ("PPS").  The per diem
reimbursement  rates under PPS were significantly  lower than anticipated by the
industry,  and generally have been less than the amount the Company's facilities
received on a daily basis under cost-based  reimbursement.  Moreover,  since IHS
treats a  greater  percentage  of  higher  acuity  patients  than  many  nursing
facilities,   IHS  has  also  been  adversely  affected  because  the  federally
established  per diem rates do not  adequately  compensate  the  Company for the
additional expenses of caring for such patients. In addition, the implementation
of PPS has  resulted  in a greater  than  expected  decline  in  demand  for the
Company's therapy services. The changes in Medicare reimbursement resulting from
the  Balanced  Budget Act have had a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company,
rendering IHS unable to service

                                        1

its debt obligations to its senior lenders and subordinated noteholders while at
the same time  meeting its  operating  expenses.  The  Company  hopes to use the
Bankruptcy  Filings to restructure its capital  structure to better position the
Company to address the changed  economics  resulting from the  implementation of
the Balanced Budget Act.

     In 1996 and 1997, the Company also focused on providing home health nursing
in order to meet patients' desires to be treated at home. However,  the delay in
the  implementation  of a prospective  payment  system ("PPS") for Medicare home
health  nursing  until after  October 1, 2000 at the earliest and a reduction in
current  cost   reimbursement   for  Medicare   home  health   nursing   pending
implementation  of a prospective  payment system mandated in the Balanced Budget
Act adversely impacted the Company's home health nursing business.  Accordingly,
in the third quarter of 1998 the Company decided to exit the home health nursing
business, and sold this business in the first half of 1999.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

     The healthcare  industry has undergone several significant changes over the
past 15 years,  primarily in response to governmental  and private payor efforts
to control the cost of providing healthcare services.

     In 1983, the Federal  government  acted to curtail  increases in healthcare
costs under Medicare,  a Federal insurance program under the Social Security Act
primarily  for  individuals  age 65 or over.  Instead of continuing to reimburse
hospitals on a cost plus basis (i.e., the hospital's  actual cost of care plus a
specified return on investment),  the Federal government  established a new type
of  payment  system  based  on  prospectively   determined  prices  rather  than
retrospectively  determined costs, with payment for inpatient  hospital services
based on regional and national  rates  established  under a system of diagnosis-
related groups ("DRGs"). As a result,  hospitals bear the cost risk of providing
care  inasmuch  as they  receive  specified  reimbursement  for  each  treatment
regardless of actual cost.

     Concurrent with the change in government reimbursement of healthcare costs,
a "managed care" segment of the healthcare  industry  emerged based on the theme
of cost containment. The health maintenance organizations and preferred provider
organizations,  which  constitute  the managed care  segment,  are able to limit
hospitalization  costs  by  giving  physicians  incentives  to  reduce  hospital
utilization and by negotiating  discounted fixed rates for hospital services. In
addition,   traditional   third  party   indemnity   insurers   began  to  limit
reimbursement to pre-determined  amounts of "reasonable  charges," regardless of
actual  cost,  and to increase the amount of  co-payment  required to be paid by
patients,  thereby  requiring  patients  to assume  more of the cost of hospital
care.  These  changes have  resulted in the earlier  discharge of patients  from
acute care hospitals.

     At the same  time,  the  number of people  over the age of 65 began to grow
significantly faster than the overall population.  Further,  advances in medical
technology have increased the life expectancies of an increasingly  large number
of medically complex patients,  many of whom require a high degree of monitoring
and specialized care and rehabilitative  therapy that is generally not available
outside  the acute  care  hospital.  However,  the  changes  in  government  and
third-party  reimbursement  and  growth  of  the  managed  care  segment  of the
healthcare industry, when combined with the fact that the cost of providing care
to these  patients in an acute care hospital is higher than in a non-acute  care
hospital  setting,  provide  economic  incentives  for acute care  hospitals and
patients  or their  insurers  to  minimize  the  length  of stay in  acute  care
hospitals. As a result of the early discharge from hospitals of patients who are
not fully recovered and still require medical care and  rehabilitative  therapy,
IHS believes there is an increasing need for non-acute care hospital  facilities
which  can  provide  the   monitoring,   specialized   care  and   comprehensive
rehabilitative  therapy  required by the  growing  population  of  subacute  and
medically complex patients.

     Recent healthcare  reform  proposals,  which have focused on containment of
healthcare  costs,  together with the desire of  third-party  payors to contract
with one service  provider for all  post-acute  care  services,  the  increasing
complexity of medical  services  provided,  growing  regulatory  and  compliance
requirements and increasingly  complicated  reimbursement systems, have resulted
in  a  trend  of  consolidation  of  smaller,   local  operators  who  lack  the
sophisticated   management  information  systems,   operating  efficiencies  and
financial  resources  to  compete  effectively  into  larger,  more  established
regional or national  operators  that offer a broad  range of  services,  either
through its own network or through  subcontracts  with other third party service
providers.

     The Balanced Budget Act,  enacted in August 1997, made numerous  changes to
the Medicare and Medicaid programs that are significantly affecting the delivery
of subacute  care,  skilled  nursing  facility  care and home  healthcare.  With
respect to Medicare, the Balanced Budget Act provides, among other things, for a
prospective  payment system for skilled nursing facilities to be implemented for
cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998, a prospective payment
system for home nursing to be implemented for cost reporting  periods  beginning
on or after  October 1, 1999  (subsequently  extended  to October  1,  2000),  a
reduction  in  current  cost   reimbursement   for  home  nursing  care  pending
implementation of a prospective payment system,  reductions in reimbursement for
oxygen and oxygen equipment for home respiratory therapy and a shift of the bulk
of home health  coverage  from Part A to Part B of Medicare.  As a result,  like
hospitals,  skilled  nursing  facilities and providers of subacute care and home
healthcare  now bear the cost risk of  providing  care  inasmuch as they receive
specified  reimbursement  for each  treatment  regardless  of actual cost.  With
respect to Medicaid,  the  Balanced  Budget Act  repealed  the  so-called  Boren
Amendment,   which  required  state  Medicaid   programs  to  reimburse  nursing
facilities  for the costs that are  incurred  by  efficiently  and  economically
operated  providers in order to meet quality and safety standards.  As a result,
states now have considerable  flexibility in establishing  payment rates and the
Company believes many states are moving toward a prospective payment type system
for skilled nursing facilities.

     The Balanced Budget Act has materially  adversely  affected the Company and
its  competitors,  several of which have also filed  voluntary  petitions  under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The initial reimbursement rates
under PPS were published less than two months prior to the implementation of PPS
and were significantly lower than anticipated within the industry.  The Balanced
Budget Act also imposed a per beneficiary cap of $1,500 per provider per therapy
service provided,  which cap was subsequently  temporarily suspended for the two
year period beginning January 1, 2000. In November 1999, the acuity adjusted PPS
rates for specified acuity  categories were temporarily  increased in an attempt
to  mitigate  some of the  adverse  effects of the  Balanced  Budget Act pending
refinement to the PPS rates to better account for medically complex patients.

INPATIENT SERVICES

     Inpatient  services is the largest  source of revenue for the Company.  IHS
operates 366 geriatric care facilities (290 owned or leased and 76 managed),  17
specialty hospitals and nine hospice facilities.

     IHS provides a wide range of basic medical  services at its geriatric  care
facilities which are licensed as skilled care nursing homes.  Services  provided
to all patients include  required  nursing care, room and board,  special diets,
and other services  which may be specified by a patient's  physician who directs
the admission,  treatment and discharge of the patient.  Inpatient services also
include a wide array of rehabilitative therapies.

     IHS offers specialized subacute care programs at its facilities,  including
complex  care  programs,  ventilator  programs,  wound  management  programs and
cardiac care programs;  other programs offered include subacute  rehabilitation,
oncology  and HIV.  IHS  initially  focused on the  provision  of subacute  care
through  Medical  Specialty  Units  ("MSUs"),  which were typically 20 to 75 bed
specialty units with physical  identities,  specialized  medical  technology and
staffs  separate from the geriatric care  facilities in which they were located.
Because of the high level of  specialized  care  provided,  the  Company's  MSUs
generated  substantially higher net revenue and operating profit per patient day
than traditional geriatric care facilities.  While IHS continues to focus on the
provision of subacute  care,  it is no longer  focusing on  providing  such care
through its MSUs.

     Complex Care  Program.  This  program is designed to treat  persons who are
generally  subacute or chronically ill and sick enough to be treated in an acute
care  hospital.  Persons  requiring  this care include  post-surgical  patients,
cancer  patients  and  patients  with other  diseases  requiring  long  recovery
periods. This program is designed to provide the monitoring and specialized care
these  patients  require  but in a less  institutional  and more cost  efficient
setting than provided by hospitals.  Some of the monitoring and specialized care
provided  to  these  patients  are  apnea  monitoring,   continuous   peripheral
intravenous  therapy  with  or  without  medication,   continuous   subcutaneous
infusion,  chest percussion and postural  drainage,  gastrostomy or naso-gastric
tube  feeding,   ileostomy  or  fistula  care  (including   patient   teaching),
post-operative  care,  tracheostomy  care,  and  oral,  pharyngeal  or  tracheal
suctioning.   Patients  in  this  program  also  typically   undergo   intensive
rehabilitative services to allow them to return home.

                                        3

<PAGE>

     Ventilator  Program.  This  program is  designed  for  persons  who require
ventilator   assistance  for  breathing   because  of  respiratory   disease  or
impairment.   Persons  requiring   ventilation   include  sufferers  of  chronic
obstructive  pulmonary  disease,   muscular  atrophy  and  respiratory  failure,
pneumonia,  cancer,  spinal cord or traumatic brain injury and other diseases or
injuries which impair  respiration.  Ventilators assist or effect respiration in
patients  unable to breathe  adequately  for  themselves  by  injecting  heated,
humidified,  oxygen-enriched  air into the lungs at a pre-determined  volume per
breath and number of breaths per minute and by controlling  the  relationship of
inhalation time to exhalation time. Patients in this program undergo respiratory
rehabilitation  to wean them from  ventilators  by  teaching  them to breathe on
their own once they are medically  stable.  Patients are also trained to use the
ventilators on their own.

     Wound  Management  Programs.  These  programs are designed to treat persons
suffering  from post  operative  complications  and persons  infected by certain
forms of penicillin and other antibiotic resistant bacteria, such as methicillin
resistant staphylococcus aureus ("MRSA").  Patients infected with these types of
bacteria must be isolated under strict infection  control  procedures to prevent
the spread of the resistant  bacteria,  which makes MSUs an ideal treatment site
for these patients.  Because of the need for strict infection control, including
isolation, treatment of this condition in the home is not practical.

     Cardiac Care Program.  This program is designed to treat persons  suffering
from congestive heart failure,  severe cardiac arrhythmia,  pre/post transplants
and other cardiac  diagnoses.  The monitoring and  specialized  care provided to
these patients includes  electrocardiographic  monitoring/telemetry,  continuous
hemodynamic  monitoring,   infusion  therapy,  cardiac  rehabilitation,   stress
management and dietary counseling, planning and education.

     Rehabilitation

     IHS provides a comprehensive array of rehabilitative  services for patients
at all of its  geriatric  care  facilities  in order to enable those  persons to
return  home.   These  services  include   respiratory   therapy  with  licensed
respiratory therapists,  physical therapy with a particular emphasis on programs
for the elderly,  speech therapy,  particularly for the elderly  recovering from
cerebral  vascular  disorders,   occupational   therapy,  and  physiatric  care.
Rehabilitation services are instrumental in lowering the overall cost of care by
reducing  the length of a patient's  stay and  improving a patient's  quality of
life. A portion of the  rehabilitative  service hours is provided by independent
contractors.  In order to reduce the  number of  rehabilitative  services  hours
provided by independent contractors, IHS began in late 1993 to acquire companies
which  provide   physical,   occupational   and  speech  therapy  to  healthcare
facilities.

     The  Company  also  offers  rehabilitation  programs,  ranging  from stroke
victims to persons who have undergone hip replacement.

     The  Company  also  offers  rehabilitation   services  to  skilled  nursing
facilities  not  operated  or managed by the  Company as well as  subacute  care
centers,  assisted living  facilities and other locations.  IHS believes that by
offering a comprehensive array of rehabilitative  services through one provider,
skilled nursing facilities can provide quality patient care more efficiently and
cost-effectively.  The Company  believes that demand for a single provider for a
comprehensive array of rehabilitative  services will increase as a result of the
prospective  payment  system being  implemented  under the Balanced  Budget Act,
which provides for a fixed payment for these services.

     With the  implementation  of PPS,  with its fee  schedule  and  beneficiary
therapy caps for rehabilitation  services,  the Company has experienced  reduced
demand for, and reduced operating margins from, the  rehabilitation  services it
provides to third parties  because such  providers are admitting  fewer Medicare
patients  and  are  reducing  utilization  of  rehabilitative   services  and/or
providing  such  services  with  their own  personnel.  Beginning  in the fourth
quarter of 1998,  the  Company has  focused on  reducing  its cost of  providing
rehabilitation   services  by  reducing   staff  and   changing  the  method  of
compensating its remaining therapists.

     Hospice Services

     IHS  provides  hospice  services,  including  medical  care, counseling and
social  services, to the terminally ill through 9 locations in 7 states. Hospice
care   is   a  coordinated  program  of  support  services  providing  physical,
psychological,  social  and spiritual care for dying persons and their families.
Services


                                        4

<PAGE>

are provided in the home and/or inpatient settings.  The goal of hospice care is
typically to improve a terminal  patient's quality of life rather than trying to
extend  life.  IHS  also  provides  hospice  care to the  terminally  ill at its
facility in Miami, Florida.

     Management and Other Services

     The Company manages  geriatric care facilities under contract for others to
capitalize on its  specialized  care programs  without making the capital outlay
generally required to acquire and renovate a facility.  IHS currently manages 76
geriatric care  facilities  with 9,878  licensed  beds.  IHS is responsible  for
providing all personnel,  marketing,  nursing, resident care, dietary and social
services,  accounting  and  data  processing  reports  and  services  for  these
facilities, although such services are provided at the facility owner's expense.
The  facility  owner  is  also  obligated  to  pay  for  all  required   capital
expenditures.  The Company  manages  these  facilities in the same manner as the
facilities it owns or leases,  and provides the same  geriatric care services as
are provided in its owned or leased facilities.  Contract  acquisition costs for
legal and other direct costs incurred to acquire long-term  management contracts
are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related contract.

     IHS receives a management fee for its services which  generally is equal to
4% to 8% of gross revenues of the geriatric care  facility.  Certain  management
agreements also provide the Company with an incentive fee based on the amount of
the facility's operating income which exceeds stipulated amounts. Management fee
revenues are  recognized  when earned and billed  generally on a monthly  basis.
Incentive  fees are  recognized  when  operating  results of managed  facilities
exceed amounts  required for incentive fees in accordance  with the terms of the
management agreements.  The management agreements generally have an initial term
of ten years,  with IHS having a right to renew in most  cases.  The  management
agreements  expire at various  times between June 2000 and January 2012 although
all can be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The Company generally
has a right of first  refusal in respect of the sale of each  managed  facility.
IHS believes that by implementing  its specialized care programs and services in
these facilities, it will be able to increase significantly the operating income
of these  facilities and thereby  increase the management  fees the Company will
receive for managing these facilities.

HOME RESPIRATORY AND DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT


     IHS  currently  provides home  respiratory  and durable  medical  equipment
services  from  approximately  750  locations  in 43  states,  primarily  in the
respiratory  therapy segments of the home healthcare market. In October 1999 the
Company sold its home infusion therapy business, which involved the intraveneous
administration  of  anti-infective  biotherapy,  chemotherapy,  pain management,
nutrition and other therapies.

     Respiratory Therapy

     Respiratory therapy, which is the largest segment of the Company's homecare
services,  is provided  primarily to older  patients  with chronic lung diseases
(such as chronic obstructive  pulmonary disease,  asthma and cystic fibrosis) or
reduced respiratory  function.  The Company's home respiratory care product line
includes oxygen  concentrators,  portable liquid oxygen systems,  nebulizers and
ventilator care. Oxygen concentrators extract oxygen from room air and generally
provide  the least  expensive  supply  of  oxygen  for  patients  who  require a
continuous supply of oxygen, are not ambulatory and who do not require excessive
flow rates.  Liquid oxygen systems store oxygen under pressure in a liquid form.
The liquid oxygen is stored in a stationary  unit that can be easily refilled at
the  patient's  home  and can be used to fill a  portable  device  that  permits
greatly  enhanced  patient  mobility.  Nebulizers  are devices which  aerosolize
medications,  allowing them to be inhaled  directly  into the  patient's  lungs.
Ventilator  therapy is used for the  individual  that suffers  from  respiratory
failure by  mechanically  assisting  the  individual  to  breathe.  The  Company
provides  technicians who deliver and/or install the respiratory care equipment,
instruct  the patient in its use,  refill the high  pressure  and liquid  oxygen
systems as  necessary  and  provide  continuing  maintenance  of the  equipment.
Respiratory  therapy is monitored by licensed  respiratory  therapists and other
clinical staff under the direction of physicians.

     Home Medical Equipment

     Home medical equipment  consists of the sale or rental of medical equipment
such as specialized beds,  wheelchairs,  walkers,  rehabilitation  equipment and
other patient aids.

MOBILE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

     The Company provides on-call mobile x-ray and  electrocardiogram  services,
both to its own  facilities as well as to facilities  operated by others.  These
services  are  provided  year round to over  6,700  third-party  facilities.  In
providing its services the Company utilizes  sophisticated computer equipment to
transmit digitized x-ray images from the field directly to the radiologist.  The
technology  allows a facility  requesting an x-ray to receive written results of
the diagnostic test within one hour of the patient test. The predominant  market
of the  Company's  diagnostic  services  includes  patients  in long  term  care
facilities,  including subacute and board and care type facilities. In addition,
services are provided in home health  settings,  correctional  institutions  and
agencies,  psychiatric hospitals,  industrial sites, dialysis centers and public
tuberculosis screening programs.

LITHOTRIPSY SERVICES

     Lithotripsy  is  a   non-invasive   technique  that  uses  shock  waves  to
disintegrate kidney stones.  Depending on the particular  lithotripter used, the
patient is sedated using either  general  anesthesia  or a mild  sedative  while
seated in a bath or lying on a treatment table. The operator of the lithotripter
machine  locates the stone using  fluoroscopy and directs the shock waves toward
the stone. The shock waves then fragment the stone, thereby enabling the patient
to pass  the  fragments  through  the  urinary  tract.  Because  lithotripsy  is
non-invasive  and  is  provided  on  an  outpatient  basis,  lithotripsy  is  an
attractive  alternative  to other more  invasive  techniques  otherwise  used in
treating urinary tract stones.

     IHS currently owns a controlling interest in 12 lithotripsy partnerships as
well as three wholly-owned lithotripsy partnerships,  a wholly-owned lithotripsy
management  company and a wholly-owned  lithotripter  maintenance  company.  The
Company's   lithotripsy   businesses  currently  contain  in  the  aggregate  48
lithotripsy  machines that provide  services in 157 locations in 17 states.  The
other owners of the partnerships are primarily physicians,  many of whom utilize
the  partnership's  equipment  to  treat  their  patients.   Twenty  of  the  48
lithotripsy  machines are  stationary  and located at  hospitals  or  ambulatory
surgery  centers,  while the other 28 machines are mobile,  allowing  them to be
moved in order to meet  patient  needs  and  market  demands.  IHS'  lithotripsy
businesses  typically  lease the machine on a per procedure basis to a hospital,
ambulatory  surgery center or other facility  providing care to the patient.  In
some cases, the lithotripsy  businesses bill the patient directly for the use of
the partnership's machine. The Company also provides maintenance services to its
own and third-party equipment.

     The  Company's   agreements   with  its  lithotripsy   physician   partners
contemplate that IHS will acquire the remaining  interest in each partnership at
a defined  price in the event  that  legislation  is passed or  regulations  are
adopted  that  would  prevent  the  physician  from  owning an  interest  in the
partnership and using the partnership's  lithotripsy equipment for the treatment
of his or her  patients.  While  current  interpretations  of  existing  law are
subject  to  considerable   uncertainty,   IHS  believes  that  its  partnership
arrangements with physicians in its lithotripsy  business are in compliance with
current law.  If,  however,  the Company  were  required to acquire the minority
interest of its physician partners in each of its lithotripsy partnerships,  the
cost in aggregate  would not be material to IHS.  Physicians in one  partnership
have commenced an action claiming that current  legislation  precludes them from
owning an interest in the  partnership and using the  partnership's  lithotripsy
equipment to treat his or her patients.  IHS is disputing  the claim,  which has
been stayed by the Bankruptcy Filings.

     In 1993,  the Health  Care  Financing  Administration  ("HCFA")  released a
proposed rule defining the rate at which ambulatory  surgery centers and certain
hospitals  would be  reimbursed  for the  technical  component of a  lithotripsy
procedure.  Although,  this proposed rule has not been finalized,  HCFA recently
issued  a range  in  which  the rate  will be  established.  The  range of rates
proposed by HCFA is significantly lower than the rates received by IHS to date.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

     The Company has  developed a  comprehensive  Quality  Assurance  Program to
verify that high standards of care are  maintained at each facility  operated or
managed by IHS. The Company  requires that its facilities meet standards of care
more rigorous than those  required by Federal and state law. Under the Company's
Quality Assurance  Program,  standards for delivery of care are set and the care
and services  provided by each  facility are  evaluated to insure they meet IHS'
standards.  A  quality  assurance  team  evaluates  each  facility  bi-annually,
reporting  directly  to  IHS'  Chief  Executive  Officer,  as  well  as  to  the
administrator of each facility.  Facility administrator bonuses are dependent in
part upon their facility's evaluation. The Company also maintains an 800 number,
called the "In-Touch  Line," which is prominently  displayed above telephones in
each facility and placed in patients'  bills.  Patients and staff are encouraged
to call this  number if they have any  problem  with  nursing or  administrative
personnel which cannot be resolved  quickly at the facility level.  This program
provides IHS with an  early-warning  of problems  which may be developing at the
facility.

     IHS has also  developed a  specialized  Quality  Assurance  Program for its
subacute care programs.  IHS has begun a program to obtain  accreditation by the
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") for each
of its  facilities.  At March 31, 2000, 93 of the Company's  facilities had been
fully accredited by the JCAHO.

OPERATIONS

     The day-to-day  operations of each facility are managed by an on-site state
licensed  administrator  and an on-site business office manager who monitors the
financial  operations of each facility.  The  administrator  of each facility is
supported by other  professional  personnel,  including the  facility's  medical
director, social workers, dietician and recreation staff. Nursing departments in
each  facility  are  under the  supervision  of a  director  of  nursing  who is
state-registered.  The  nursing  staffs are  composed of  registered  nurses and
licensed practical nurses as well as nursing assistants.

     The Company's home respiratory and durable medical equipment businesses are
conducted  through  approximately  750  branches  which are managed  through two
geographic area offices.  The area office provides each of its branches with key
management  direction and support  services.  IHS'  organizational  structure is
designed to create operating  efficiencies  associated with certain  centralized
services and purchasing while also promoting local decision making.

     IHS'  corporate  staff  provides  services  such as  marketing  assistance,
training, quality assurance oversight, human resource management,  reimbursement
expertise, accounting, cash management and treasury functions, internal auditing
and  management  support.  Financial  control is maintained  through  fiscal and
accounting  policies that are established at the corporate level for use at each
facility and branch location.  The Company has standardized operating procedures
and monitors  its  facilities  and branch  locations  to assure  consistency  of
operations.  IHS emphasizes frequent communications,  the setting of operational
goals and the  monitoring  of  actual  results.  The  Company  uses a  financial
reporting  system which  enables it to monitor,  on a daily  basis,  certain key
financial data at each facility such as payor mix,  admissions  and  discharges,
cash collections, net revenue and staffing.

     Each  facility  and  branch  location  has all  necessary  state  and local
licenses.  Most  facilities  are  certified as providers  under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs of the state in which they are located.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

     IHS  receives  payments  for  services  rendered to patients  from  private
insurers and patients  themselves,  from the Federal  government under Medicare,
and from the  states  in which  certain  of its  facilities  are  located  under
Medicaid.  The  sources  and  amounts  of the  Company's  patient  revenues  are
determined  by a number of  factors,  including  licensed  bed  capacity  of its
facilities,  occupancy rate, the mix of patients and the rates of  reimbursement
among payor categories (private,  Medicare and Medicaid).  Changes in the mix of
IHS'  patients  among the private  pay,  Medicare and  Medicaid  categories  can
significantly   affect   the   profitability   of  the   Company's   operations.
Historically,  the Company  derived higher  revenue from  providing  specialized
medical services than routine  inpatient care.  Generally,  private pay patients
are the most profitable and

                                        7

<PAGE>

Medicaid  patients are the least  profitable.  IHS also  contracts  with private
payors,  including  health  maintenance  organizations  and other  managed  care
organizations,  to provide certain healthcare services to patients for a set per
diem payment for each patient.  There can be no assurance that the rates paid to
IHS by these payors will be adequate to cover the cost of providing  services to
covered  beneficiaries.  The Balanced  Budget Act made  numerous  changes to the
Medicare and Medicaid programs which have had a negative impact on the Company.

     During the years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1998 and 1999,  IHS  derived
approximately $708.0 million, $1.1 billion and $974.0 million,  respectively, or
52%, 38% and 39%, respectively, of its patient revenues from private pay sources
and approximately $657.2 million,  $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion,  respectively,
or 48%,  62% and 61%,  respectively,  of its patient  revenues  from  government
reimbursement  programs,  after giving effect to the  discontinuance of its home
health nursing business, which was primarily covered by government reimbursement
programs.  Patient revenues from government  reimbursement programs during these
periods  consisted of  approximately  $351.5 million,  $880.0 million and $691.9
million,  or 26%,  30% and 27% of total  patient  revenues,  respectively,  from
Medicare and  approximately  $305.7 million,  $936.1 million and $845.8 million,
respectively, or 22%, 32% and 34% of total patient revenues,  respectively, from
Medicaid,  after giving effect to the  discontinuance of its home health nursing
business in 1998.  The increase in the  percentage  of revenue  from  government
reimbursement  programs  is due to the higher  level of  Medicare  and  Medicaid
patients  in the 139  owned,  leased or  managed  facilities  (12 of which  were
subsequently sold), acquired from HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation in December 1997 (the
"Facility  Acquisition")  and the higher level of such patients  serviced by the
respiratory  therapy,  rehabilitative  therapy,  and mobile diagnostic companies
acquired beginning in 1994.

     Until the  implementation  of the  prospective  payment  system ("PPS") for
Medicare skilled nursing facilities,  which was completed for IHS' facilities on
June 1, 1999,  Medicare  reimbursed  the  skilled  nursing  facility  based on a
reasonable cost standard.  With certain exceptions,  payment for skilled nursing
facility  services  was made  prospectively,  with each  facility  receiving  an
interim payment during the year for its expected reimbursable costs. The interim
payment was later adjusted to reflect actual allowable direct and indirect costs
of services based on the submission of an annual cost report.  Each facility was
also subject to limits on reimbursement  for routine costs.  Exceptions to these
limits  were  available  for,  among other  things,  the  provision  of atypical
services.  The Company's  cost of care for its subacute care patients  generally
exceeded  regional  reimbursement  limits  established  under Medicare,  and IHS
submitted  waiver  requests to recover these excess costs.  The Company's  final
rates approved by HCFA represented  approximately  90% of the requested rates as
submitted in the waiver requests.  There can be no assurance,  however, that IHS
will be able to recover  its excess  costs under any waiver  requests  which are
relating to periods prior to the implementation of PPS.

     The Balanced Budget Act mandated the establishment of a prospective payment
system for Medicare  skilled nursing facility  services,  under which facilities
are paid a fixed fee for virtually all covered services.  PPS is being phased in
over a  four-year  period,  effective  January 1, 1999 for IHS' owned and leased
skilled nursing  facilities  other than the facilities  acquired in the Facility
Acquisition, which facilities became subject to PPS on June 1, 1999. Prospective
payment for facilities  managed by IHS became effective for each facility at the
beginning of its first cost  reporting  period on or after July 1, 1998.  During
the  first  three  years,  payments  will be based on a blend of the  facility's
historical  costs  (based  largely on the  facility's  costs for the services it
provided  to  Medicare  beneficiaries  in the  1994-1995  base year) and federal
costs. Facilities that did not receive any Medicare payments prior to October 1,
1995 are reimbursed  100% based on the federal per diem rates.  Thereafter,  the
per diem rates will be based 100% on federal  costs.  Under PPS, each  patient's
clinical status is evaluated and placed into a payment  category.  The patient's
payment category  dictates the amount that the provider will receive to care for
the patient on a daily basis. The per diem rate covers (i) all routine inpatient
costs  currently  paid under  Medicare Part A, (ii) certain  ancillary and other
items and services  previously  covered  separately  under  Medicare Part B on a
"pass-through"  basis, and (iii) certain capital costs. The Company's ability to
offer the ancillary  services required by higher acuity patients,  such as those
in its subacute care programs,  in a  cost-effective  manner will be critical to
the  Company's  survival  and will  affect the  profitability  of the  Company's
Medicare patients.  To date the per diem reimbursement rates have generally been
less than the amount the Company  received  on a daily  basis  under  cost-based
reimbursement, particularly in the

                                        8

<PAGE>

case of higher  acuity  patients.  As a result,  PPS has to date had a  material
adverse  impact on IHS'  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.  In
November 1999,  the acuity  adjusted PPS rates for specified  acuity  categories
were temporarily increased in an attempt to mitigate some of the adverse effects
of the Balanced Budget Act pending refinement to PPS rates to better account for
medically complex patients.

     Under the various Medicaid  programs,  the federal  government  supplements
funds provided by the participating  states for medical assistance to qualifying
needy individuals. The programs are administered by the applicable state welfare
or social service agencies. Although Medicaid programs vary from state to state,
typically  they provide for the payment of certain  expenses,  up to established
limits.  The Balanced Budget Act also contains changes to the Medicaid  program,
the most  significant of which is the repeal of the Boren  Amendment.  The Boren
Amendment  required state Medicaid programs to pay rates that are reasonable and
adequate to meet the costs that must be incurred by a nursing  facility in order
to provide  care and  services  in  compliance  with  applicable  standards.  By
repealing the Boren Amendment,  the Balanced Budget Act eases the impediments on
the states'  ability to reduce their  Medicaid  reimbursement  for such services
and,  as a result,  states now have  considerable  flexibility  in  establishing
payment  rates.  Texas has now  adopted a case-mix  prospective  payment  system
similar to the Medicare PPS, and the Company expects additional states will move
in this  direction.  IHS is unable to predict what effect such changes will have
on the  Company.  There can be no  assurance  that any  changes to the  Medicaid
program will not have a material adverse impact on the Company.

     Under PPS, the reimbursement for  rehabilitation  therapy services provided
to nursing  facility  patients is a component of the total  reimbursement to the
nursing facility allowed per patient. Medicare pays the skilled nursing facility
directly  for all  rehabilitation  services  and the outside  suppliers  of such
services to residents of the skilled nursing  facility must collect payment from
the skilled nursing facility.  Effective January 1, 1999 a per provider limit of
$1,500  was  applied  to all  rehabilitation  therapy  services  provided  under
Medicare Part B ($1,500 for physical and speech-language pathology services, and
a  separate  $1,500  for  occupational  therapy  services;  this  $1,500 cap was
temporarily  suspended  for the two year  period  beginning  January  1,  2000).
Additionally, effective January 1, 1999, Medicare Part B therapy services are no
longer  being  reimbursed  on a cost basis;  rather,  payment  for each  service
provided  is based on fee screen  schedules  published  in November  1998.  As a
result of the  implementation  of PPS,  the  Company has to date  experienced  a
substantial reduction in demand for, and reduced operating margins from, therapy
services it provides to third  parties,  because such  providers  are  admitting
fewer Medicare patients and are reducing utilization of rehabilitative  services
and/or  providing  such  services  with their own  personnel.  To date these fee
schedules and caps have had a material adverse effect on the Company.

     Prior  to  the  implementation  of  PPS,  Medicare  covered  and  paid  for
rehabilitation  therapy  services  furnished in facilities in various ways.  For
rehabilitation  services  provided  directly,  specific  guidelines  existed for
evaluating the reasonable  cost of physical  therapy,  occupational  therapy and
speech  language  pathology   services.   Medicare  applied  salary  equivalency
guidelines  in  determining  the  reasonable   cost  of  physical   therapy  and
respiratory services, which was the cost that would be incurred if the therapist
were employed by a nursing  facility,  plus an amount designed to compensate the
provider for certain general and  administrative  overhead costs. Until April 1,
1998,  Medicare  paid for  occupational  therapy and speech  language  pathology
services on a reasonable  cost basis,  subject to the so-called  "prudent buyer"
rule for  evaluating  the  reasonableness  of the costs.  In January 1998,  HCFA
issued  rules  applying  salary   equivalency   limits  to  certain  speech  and
occupational  therapy  services and revised  existing  physical and  respiratory
therapy limits.  The new limits were effective for services provided on or after
April 1, 1998 until nursing  facilities  transitioned to PPS. IHS' gross margins
for  services   reimbursed   under  the  salary   equivalency   guidelines  were
significantly less than services reimbursed under the "prudent buyer" rule.

     The Medicare  program  reimburses  IHS' home  respiratory  care and durable
medical equipment services,  and reimbursed IHS home infusion services,  under a
charge-based  system,  pursuant to which the Company receives either a fixed fee
for a  specific  service or  product  or a fixed per diem  amount for  providing
certain  services.  The Balanced Budget Act reduced Medicare payment amounts for
oxygen and oxygen  equipment  furnished  after January 1, 1998 to 75% of the fee
schedule  amounts in effect during 1997.  Payment  amounts for oxygen and oxygen
equipment furnished after January 1, 1999 and

                                        9

<PAGE>

each subsequent  year thereafter are reduced to 70% of the fee schedule  amounts
in effect during 1997. The Balanced  Budget Act freezes the Consumer Price Index
(U.S.  urban average) update for covered items of durable medical  equipment for
each of the years 1998  through  2002 while  limiting  fees for  parenteral  and
enteral nutrients,  supplies and equipment to 1995 reasonable charge levels over
the same period.  The Balanced  Budget Act reduces  payment  amounts for covered
drugs and  biologicals  to 95% of the average  wholesale  price of such  covered
items  for  each of the  years  1998  through  2002.  The  Balanced  Budget  Act
authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services  ("HHS") to conduct up to
five competitive bidding  demonstration  projects for the acquisition of durable
medical  equipment and requires that one such project be established  for oxygen
and  oxygen  equipment.  Each  demonstration  project is to be  operated  over a
three-year  period and is to be  conducted  in not more than  three  competitive
acquisition areas. The Balanced Budget Act also includes  provisions designed to
reduce  healthcare  fraud and abuse,  including  a surety bond  requirement  for
durable medical equipment providers.

     The Medicare  program  reimbursed the Company's home nursing  services on a
cost-based  system,  under  which  IHS  was  reimbursed  at the  lowest  of IHS'
reimbursable costs (based on Medicare  regulations),  cost limits established by
HCFA or IHS' charges.

     The  Company  expects  that both third party and  governmental  payors will
continue to undertake cost containment  measures designed to limit payments made
to  healthcare  providers  such as IHS.  Furthermore,  government  programs  are
subject to statutory  and  regulatory  changes,  retroactive  rate  adjustments,
administrative  rulings and government  funding  restrictions,  all of which may
materially  increase or  decrease  the rate of program  payments  to  facilities
managed and  operated by IHS.  There can be no  assurance  that  payments  under
governmental  and  third-party  private  payor  programs  will  remain at levels
comparable to present levels or will, in the future,  be sufficient to cover the
operating and other costs allocable to patients  participating in such programs.
In addition,  there can be no assurance that facilities owned, leased or managed
by IHS now or in the  future  will  initially  meet  or  continue  to  meet  the
requirements for  participation in such programs.  The Company has been, and may
continue to be, adversely affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and
private third party payors to contain the amount of reimbursement for healthcare
services.  In an attempt to limit the Federal and state budget  deficits,  there
have  been,  and IHS  expects  that  there  will  continue  to be, a  number  of
additional proposals to limit Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for healthcare
services.  The Company cannot at this time predict  whether this  legislation or
any other  legislation  will be adopted  or, if adopted  and  implemented,  what
effect,  if  any,  such  legislation  will  have  on  IHS.  See  "--  Government
Regulation"  and  "--  Cautionary  Statements  --  Risk  of  Adverse  Effect  of
Healthcare Reform."

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     The healthcare  industry is subject to extensive  federal,  state and local
statutes  and  regulations.  The  regulations  include  licensure  requirements,
reimbursement  rules and standards  and levels of services and care.  Changes in
applicable  laws and  regulations  or new  interpretations  of existing laws and
regulations   could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  licensure  of  IHS'
facilities,  eligibility  for  participation  in  Federal  and  state  programs,
permissible activities,  costs of doing business, or the levels of reimbursement
from governmental, private and other sources. Political, economic and regulatory
influences  are  subjecting  the  healthcare  industry  in the United  States to
fundamental  change.  It is not  possible  to predict  the  content or impact of
future legislation and regulations affecting the healthcare industry.

     Most states in which IHS operates have statutes which require that prior to
the  addition or  construction  of new beds,  the  addition  of new  services or
certain  capital  expenditures  in excess of defined  levels,  the Company  must
obtain a certificate  of need ("CON") which  certifies that the state has made a
determination  that a need exists for such new or additional  beds, new services
or  capital  expenditures.  The CON  process  is  intended  to  promote  quality
healthcare at the lowest possible cost and to avoid the unnecessary  duplication
of services, equipment and facilities. These state determinations of need or CON
programs are designed to comply with certain  minimum  Federal  standards and to
enable  states to  participate  in  certain  Federal  and  state  health-related
programs.  Elimination or relaxation of CON requirements may result in increased
competition  in  such  states  and  may  also  result  in  increased   expansion
possibilities in such states. Of the states in

                                       10

<PAGE>

which the Company  operates,  the following require CONs for the facilities that
are owned, operated or managed by IHS: Alabama, Connecticut,  Delaware, Florida,
Georgia,  Illinois,  Iowa,  Kentucky,   Massachusetts,   Michigan,  Mississippi,
Missouri,  Nebraska,  Nevada, New Hampshire,  New Jersey, North Carolina,  Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina,  Tennessee,  Virginia,  Washington,  West Virginia and
Wisconsin.

     The Company's facilities are also subject to licensure regulations. Each of
IHS'  geriatric  care  facilities  is licensed as a skilled  care  facility  and
substantially  all are  certified as a provider  under the Medicare  program and
most are also  certified  by the state in which  they are  located as a provider
under the  Medicaid  program of that state.  IHS  believes it is in  substantial
compliance  with  all  material  statutes  and  regulations  applicable  to  its
business.  In addition,  all healthcare  facilities are subject to various local
building codes and other ordinances.

     IHS' geriatric care  facilities  must comply with certain  requirements  to
participate  either as a skilled  nursing  facility  under Medicare or a nursing
facility under Medicaid.  Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation  Act of 1987 obligate  facilities to demonstrate  compliance with
requirements relating to resident rights, resident assessment,  quality of care,
quality  of life,  physician  services,  nursing  services,  pharmacy  services,
dietary  services,   rehabilitation   services,   infection  control,   physical
environment  and  administration.  State and local agencies survey all geriatric
care  centers  on a regular  basis to  determine  whether  such  centers  are in
compliance with  governmental  operating and health standards and conditions for
participation in government medical assistance programs.  Regulations adopted by
HCFA effective July 1, 1995 require that surveys focus on residents' outcomes of
care and state  that all  deviations  from  participation  requirements  will be
considered  deficiencies,  but  a  facility  may  have  deficiencies  and  be in
substantial   compliance  with  the   regulations.   The  regulations   identify
alternative remedies (meaning remedies other than termination of a facility from
the Medicare or Medicaid programs) against facilities and specify the categories
of  deficiencies  for  which  they will be  applied.  The  alternative  remedies
include, but are not limited to: civil money penalties of up to $10,000 per day;
facility closure and/or transfer of residents in emergencies;  denial of payment
for new or all admissions; directed plans of correction; and directed in-service
training.

     IHS endeavors to maintain and operate its facilities in compliance with all
such standards and conditions.  However,  in the ordinary course of its business
the Company's  facilities  receive notices of deficiencies for failure to comply
with various regulatory requirements.  Generally, the facility and the reviewing
agency  will  agree upon the  measures  to be taken to bring the  facility  into
compliance  with  regulatory   requirements.   In  some  cases  or  upon  repeat
violations,  the reviewing  agency may take adverse  actions against a facility,
including  the  imposition  of fines,  temporary  suspension of admission of new
patients to the facility,  suspension or  decertification  from participation in
the Medicare or Medicaid programs, and, in extreme circumstances,  revocation of
a facility's license.  These adverse actions may adversely affect the ability of
the facility to operate or to provide  certain  services and its  eligibility to
participate  in the Medicare or Medicaid  programs.  In  addition,  such adverse
actions may adversely affect other  facilities  operated by IHS. There can be no
assurance  that  the  Company  will be  able to  maintain  compliance  with  all
regulatory  requirements  or that it will not be required to expend  significant
amounts to do so.

     Various federal and state laws regulate the relationship  between providers
of healthcare  services and physicians or others able to refer medical services,
including employment or service contracts,  leases and investment relationships.
These laws include the fraud and abuse  provisions  of Medicare and Medicaid and
similar state statutes (the "Fraud and Abuse Laws"), which prohibit the payment,
receipt,  solicitation  or  offering  of any  direct  or  indirect  remuneration
intended to induce the  referral  of  Medicare  or Medicaid  patients or for the
ordering  or  providing  of  Medicare or  Medicaid  covered  services,  items or
equipment.  Violations  of these  provisions  may  result in civil and  criminal
penalties  and/or  exclusion  from  participation  in the  Medicare and Medicaid
programs  and from state  programs  containing  similar  provisions  relating to
referrals of privately  insured  patients.  HHS and other federal  agencies have
interpreted these provisions broadly to include the payment of anything of value
to  influence  the  referral of Medicare  or Medicaid  business.  HHS has issued
regulations  which set  forth  certain  "safe  harbors,"  representing  business
relationships  and payments that can safely be undertaken  without  violation of
the Fraud and Abuse Laws. In addition,  certain  Federal and state  requirements
generally prohibit certain

                                       11

<PAGE>

providers  from  referring  patients to certain  types of entities in which such
provider has an ownership or investment interest or with which such provider has
a  compensation  arrangement,  unless an  exception  is  available.  The Company
considers all  applicable  laws in planning  marketing  activities and exercises
care in an effort to structure its  arrangements  with  healthcare  providers to
comply  with these laws.  However,  there can be no  assurance  that all of IHS'
existing or future  arrangements  will  withstand  scrutiny  under the Fraud and
Abuse Laws,  safe harbor  regulations  or other state or federal  legislation or
regulations,  nor can IHS  predict the effect of such rules and  regulations  on
these arrangements in particular or on IHS' operations in general.

     The Health  Insurance  Portability and  Accountability  Act of 1996 granted
expanded  enforcement  authority  to HHS  and the  U.S.  Department  of  Justice
("DOJ"),   and  provided  enhanced  resources  to  support  the  activities  and
responsibilities  of  the  Office  of  Inspector  General  ("OIG")  and  DOJ  by
authorizing  large  increases  in  funding  for  investigating  fraud  and abuse
violations relating to healthcare delivery and payment.  The Balanced Budget Act
also  includes  numerous  health  fraud  provisions,  including  new civil money
penalties for  contracting  with an excluded  provider,  and new surety bond and
information   disclosure   requirements  for  certain  providers  and  suppliers
including home health agencies.

     In 1995,  a major  anti-fraud  demonstration  project,  "Operation  Restore
Trust,"  was  announced  by the OIG. A primary  purpose  for the  project was to
scrutinize the activities of healthcare providers which are reimbursed under the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. Investigative efforts focused on skilled nursing
facilities,  home health and hospice  agencies  and  durable  medical  equipment
suppliers,  as well as several  other types of  healthcare  services.  Operation
Restore Trust originally focused on California,  Florida, Illinois, New York and
Texas,  but has now been  expanded  to all  states.  This  effort is  focused on
problems  with claims for  services  not rendered or not provided as claimed and
claims falsified to circumvent  coverage  limitations on medical  supplies.  IHS
expects these types of efforts to continue.  The OIG has issued, and is expected
to  continue  to issue,  special  fraud alert  bulletins  identifying  "suspect"
characteristics  of  potentially  illegal  practices  by  providers  and illegal
arrangements  between  providers.  The bulletins contain  "hot-line" numbers and
encourage Medicare beneficiaries,  healthcare employees,  competitors and others
to report  suspected  violations.  Enforcement  actions could  include  criminal
prosecution,  suit for civil  penalties  and/or  exlcusion from the Medicare and
Medicaid programs.

     False  claims are  prohibited  pursuant  to  criminal  and civil  statutes.
Criminal  provisions  prohibit filing false claims or making false statements to
receive  payment or  certification  under  Medicare or  Medicaid,  or failing to
refund  overpayments or improper  payments;  offenses for violation are felonies
punishable  by up  to  five  years  imprisonment  and/or  $25,000  fines.  Civil
provisions  prohibit  the knowing  filing of a false claim or the knowing use of
false  statements to obtain  payment;  penalties for violations are fines of not
less than  $5,000 nor more than  $10,000,  plus treble  damages,  for each claim
filed.  Suits  alleging  false claims can be brought by  individuals,  including
employees  and  competitors.  In addition to qui tam actions  brought by private
parties,  the Company  believes that  governmental  enforcement  activities have
increased at both the federal and state levels. If it were found that any of the
Company's  practices  failed to  comply  with any of the  anti-fraud  provisions
discussed in the  paragraphs  above,  the Company could be materially  adversely
affected.

     The  Company  is  a  defendant  in  certain   actions  or  the  subject  of
investigations  concerning  alleged  violations  of the False  Claims  Act or of
Medicare regulations. As a result of the Company's financial position during the
fourth quarter of 1999, various agencies of the federal  government  accelerated
efforts to reach a resolution of all  outstanding  claims and issues  related to
the Company's  alleged  violation of healthcare  statutes and related  causes of
action.  These matters involve various government  claims,  many of which are of
unspecified  amounts.  Because the government's  review of these matters has not
been  completed,  management  is  unable  to  assess  fully  the  merits  of the
government's  monetary  claims.  Based  on  a  preliminary   evaluation  of  the
government's  estimable claims for which an unfavorable outcome is probable, the
Company  recorded  a $39.5  million  accrued  liability  for such  claims  as of
December 31, 1999.  However,  the ultimate amount of any future settlement could
differ significantly from such provision.

     President Clinton has announced initiatives designed to improve the quality
of care in nursing  homes and to reduce fraud in the Medicare  program.  On July
21,  1998,  the  President  directed  HCFA to ensure that  states  take  tougher
enforcement measures in surveying skilled nursing facilities, including

                                       12

<PAGE>

the onsite  imposition of fines without grace  periods,  the imposition of fines
per violation  rather than per day of  noncompliance,  and  increased  review of
facilities'  systems to prevent resident neglect and abuse. On December 7, 1998,
the President announced that the Administration  would continue its crackdown on
providers  who  commit   Medicare   program  fraud  by  empowering   specialized
contractors  to track down Medicare  scams and program  waste,  and by requiring
providers  to report  evidence of fraud so  patterns of fraud can be  identified
early and stopped.

     The Company's  healthcare  operations  generate  medical waste that must be
disposed of in compliance  with  Federal,  state and local  environmental  laws,
rules and  regulations.  IHS'  operations  are also subject to  compliance  with
various other environmental laws, rules and regulations. Such compliance has not
materially  affected,   and  IHS  anticipates  that  such  compliance  will  not
materially affect, the Company's capital  expenditures,  earnings or competitive
position, although there can be no assurance to that effect.

     As a result of the  Bankruptcy  Filings,  IHS may experience an increase in
regulatory  oversight from both federal and state regulatory  bodies compared to
historical  levels.  The  increased  oversight  may result from such  regulatory
bodies'  concerns  that the  Company's  financial  difficulties  may result in a
decrease in the quality of care provided by the Company.

     Management  is unable to  predict  the effect of future  administrative  or
judicial   interpretations  of  the  laws  discussed  above,  or  whether  other
legislation  or  regulations on the federal or state level in any of these areas
will be adopted,  what form such  legislation or regulations  may take, or their
impact on the Company. There can be no assurances that such laws will ultimately
be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Company's practices.

     In addition to extensive existing government healthcare  regulation,  there
are  numerous  initiatives  on the  Federal and state  levels for  comprehensive
reforms affecting the payment for and availability of healthcare services. It is
not clear at this time what  proposals,  if any, will be adopted or, if adopted,
what effect such proposals  would have on IHS'  business.  Aspects of certain of
these  healthcare  proposals,  such as cutbacks  in the  Medicare  and  Medicaid
programs,  containment  of  healthcare  costs on an interim  basis by means that
could include a short-term freeze on prices charged by healthcare providers, and
permitting  greater state flexibility in the  administration of Medicaid,  could
adversely affect IHS. See "-- Sources of Revenue" and "-- Cautionary  Statements
- - --  Uncertainty  of  Government  Regulation."  There  can be no  assurance  that
currently  proposed or future  healthcare  legislation  or other  changes in the
administration or interpretation  of governmental  healthcare  programs will not
have an adverse  effect on the Company.  Concern about the potential  effects of
the proposed  reform  measures has  contributed  to the  volatility of prices of
securities of companies in healthcare and related industries, including IHS, and
may similarly  affect the price of the Company's  securities in the future.  IHS
cannot predict the ultimate timing or effect of such legislative  efforts and no
assurance  can be given that any such efforts  will not have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

COMPETITION

     The healthcare  industry is highly competitive and is subject to continuing
changes in the  provision  of services and the  selection  and  compensation  of
providers.  The  Company's  ability to compete may be adversely  affected by its
Bankruptcy  Filings.  IHS  competes  on a local and  regional  basis  with other
providers on the basis of the breadth and quality of its  services,  the quality
of its facilities  and, to a limited  extent,  price.  The Company also competes
with other providers in the acquisition and development of additional facilities
and service providers.  IHS' current and potential competitors include national,
regional and local operators of geriatric care facilities,  acute care hospitals
and  rehabilitation  hospitals,  extended care centers,  retirement  centers and
similar  institutions,  many of which have  significantly  greater financial and
other  resources  than IHS. In addition,  the Company  competes with a number of
tax-exempt  nonprofit  organizations which can finance  acquisitions and capital
expenditures  on  a  tax-exempt  basis  or  receive   charitable   contributions
unavailable to IHS. New service  introductions and  enhancements,  acquisitions,
continued industry consolidation and the development of strategic  relationships
by the Company's  competitors could cause a significant decline in sales or loss
of market acceptance of the Company's services or intense price competition,  or
make IHS' services noncompetitive.

                                       13

<PAGE>

Further,  technological advances in drug delivery systems and the development of
new medical treatments that cure certain complex diseases or reduce the need for
healthcare  services could adversely impact the business of IHS. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete  successfully against current
or future  competitors  or that  competitive  pressures will not have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  financial  condition and results of
operations.  IHS also competes with various healthcare providers with respect to
attracting  and  retaining  qualified   management  and  other  personnel.   Any
significant  failure by IHS to attract and retain qualified employees could have
a material  adverse effect on its business,  results of operations and financial
condition.

     The inpatient facilities operated and managed by IHS primarily compete on a
local and  regional  basis with other  skilled  care  providers.  The  Company's
inpatient  facilities  primarily  compete  on a local  basis with acute care and
long-term care  hospitals.  In addition,  some skilled  nursing  facilities have
developed   units  which   provide  a  greater  level  of  care  than  the  care
traditionally  provided by nursing homes.  The degree of success with which IHS'
facilities  compete  varies from location to location and depends on a number of
factors.  The Company believes that the specialized  services and care provided,
the  quality  of care  provided,  the  reputation  and  physical  appearance  of
facilities and, in the case of private pay patients,  charges for services,  are
significant  competitive  factors. In light of these factors,  IHS seeks to meet
competition  in each locality by improving the  appearances  of, and the quality
and types of services  provided at, its  facilities,  establishing  a reputation
within the local medical communities for providing competent care services,  and
by responding  appropriately to regional  variations in demographics and tastes.
There is limited,  if any,  competition  in price with  respect to Medicaid  and
Medicare  patients,  since  revenues for services to such  patients are strictly
controlled and based on fixed rates and cost reimbursement  principles.  Because
IHS'  facilities  compete  primarily on a local and regional basis rather than a
national basis, the competitive position of IHS varies from facility to facility
depending  upon the types of services and quality of care provided by facilities
with which each of IHS'  facilities  compete,  the  reputation of the facilities
with which each of IHS'  facilities  compete,  and,  with respect to private pay
patients,  the cost of care at  facilities  with which  each of IHS'  facilities
compete.

     The home  respiratory  care and durable medical  equipment market is highly
competitive and is divided among a large number of providers,  some of which are
national providers but most of which are either regional or local providers. IHS
believes that the primary competitive factors are availability of personnel, the
price of the services and quality  considerations  such as  responsiveness,  the
technical  ability  of  the  professional  staff  and  the  ability  to  provide
comprehensive services.

EMPLOYEES

     As of March 31, 2000, IHS had  approximately  73,200  full-time and regular
part-time  employees.  Full-time and regular  part-time  service and maintenance
employees at 33 facilities,  totaling approximately 4,600 employees, are covered
by  collective  bargaining   agreements.   IHS'  corporate  staff  consisted  of
approximately 1,200 people at such date. The Company believes its relations with
its employees are good.

     IHS seeks the highest  quality of  professional  staff  within each market.
Competition  in the  recruitment  of  personnel  in the  healthcare  industry is
intense,  particularly  with  respect to nurses.  Many areas are already  facing
nursing  shortages,  and it is expected that the shortages  will increase in the
future.  Although  the  Company  has,  to date,  been  successful  in hiring and
retaining  nurses  and  rehabilitation  professionals,  IHS  in the  future  may
experience   difficulty  in  hiring  and  retaining  nurses  and  rehabilitation
professionals. The Company believes that its future success will depend in large
part upon its  continued  ability to hire and retain  qualified  personnel.  The
Company's  Bankruptcy  Filings  could  adversely  affect its ability to attract,
retain and motivate qualified personnel.

INSURANCE

     Healthcare  companies are subject to medical  malpractice,  personal injury
and other liability claims which are generally covered by insurance. The Company
maintains   liability  insurance  coverage  in  amounts  deemed  appropriate  by
management based upon historical claims and the nature and risks of

                                       14

<PAGE>

its  business.  There can be no  assurance  that a future  claim will not exceed
insurance  coverage or that such  coverage  will  continue to be  available.  In
addition,  any substantial  increase in the cost of such insurance could have an
adverse effect on IHS' business, results of operations and financial condition.

                              CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

     This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains, and from time to time the Company
may  disseminate  materials  and make  statements  which  may  contain,  certain
forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of  1933  and  Section  21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.  All
statements  regarding the Company's expected future financial position,  results
of operations,  cash flows,  financing  plans,  business  strategy,  competitive
position,  plans and  objectives  and  words  such as  "anticipate,"  "believe,"
"estimate,"  "expect,"  "intend,"  "plan"  and  other  similar  expressions  are
forward-looking  statements.  Such  forward-looking  statements  are  inherently
uncertain,  and  stockholders  must  recognize  that actual results could differ
materially  from  those   projected  or  contemplated  in  the   forward-looking
statements  as a result of a variety of  factors,  including  factors  set forth
below.  Securityholders should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements.

     The forward-looking  statements speak only as of the date on which they are
made, and IHS undertakes no obligation to update any  forward-looking  statement
to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated  events.  In addition,  IHS cannot
assess  the effect of each  factor on the  Company's  business  or the extent to
which any factor, or combination of factors,  may cause actual results to differ
materially from these contained in any forward-looking statements.

     Risks Related to Operations in Bankruptcy. On February 2, 2000, the Company
and substantially all its subsidiaries  filed voluntary  petitions under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company is currently  operating its
business as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
Court. There can be no assurance that the amounts available to the Company under
its  debtor-in-possession  financing arrangements will be sufficient to fund the
operations  of the  Company  until such time as the Company is able to propose a
plan of reorganization that will be acceptable to the creditors and confirmed by
the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-petition
indebtedness are enjoined and other contractual  obligations may not be enforced
against the Company. In addition, the Company may reject executory contracts and
lease  obligations.  There can be no assurance  that any actions  taken by these
creditors or landlords will not have the effect of preventing or unduly delaying
confirmation  of a plan of  reorganization  in  connection  with the  Bankruptcy
Filings.

     As a result of the  Bankruptcy  Filings,  the Company  may have  difficulty
attracting patients and attracting and retaining employees. The Company may also
be subject  to  increased  regulatory  oversight  as a result of the  Bankruptcy
Filings, resulting from concerns of regulatory bodies that the Company's current
financial  difficulties may result in a decrease in the quality of care provided
by the Company.

     As a result of the Bankruptcy  Filings,  the Company  anticipates  that its
currently  outstanding  Common Stock will have no value  following the Company's
reorganization  under the bankruptcy  laws.  Further,  there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain adequate  financing on reasonable terms,
or at all, in the future as a result of the Bankruptcy Filings.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis,  which contemplates  continuity of operations,  realization of assets and
liquidation  of liabilities in the ordinary  course of business.  However,  as a
result of the  Bankruptcy  Filings  and  circumstances  relating  to this event,
including  the  Company's   leveraged   financial   structure  and  losses  from
operations, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities is subject
to  significant  uncertainty.  While  under the  protection  of Chapter  11, the
Company  may sell or  otherwise  dispose  of  assets,  and  liquidate  or settle
liabilities, for amounts other than those reflected in the financial statements.
Further,  a plan of reorganization  could materially change the amounts reported
in the financial statements,  which do not give effect to all adjustments of the
carrying value of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence
of a plan of  reorganization.  The  Company's  ability  to  continue  as a going
concern is dependent upon, among

                                       15

<PAGE>

other  things,  confirmation  of a plan  of  reorganization,  future  profitable
operations,  the ability to comply with the terms of the DIP Financing Agreement
and the  ability to  generate  sufficient  cash from  operations  and  financing
arrangements to meet obligations.

     Risks  Related to  Prospective  Payment  System.  The Balanced  Budget Act,
enacted in August  1997,  made  numerous  changes to the  Medicare  and Medicaid
programs that are significantly affecting the Company's operations. The Balanced
Budget Act  provides for the  phase-in of a PPS for skilled  nursing  facilities
over a four year  period  effective  January  1,  1999 for IHS owned and  leased
facilities other than the facilities acquired in the Facility Acquisition, which
facilities  became  subject  to PPS on June 1,  1999.  Prospective  payment  for
skilled nursing  facilities managed by IHS became effective for each facility at
the beginning of its first cost reporting  period  beginning on or after July 1,
1998.  Under PPS,  Medicare  pays  skilled  nursing  facilities  a fixed fee per
patient day based on the acuity level of the patient to cover all  post-hospital
extended care routine  service  costs,  as well as  substantially  all items and
services, such as rehabilitation  therapy,  furnished during a covered stay (for
which  reimbursement  was formerly made separately under  Medicare).  During the
first three years of the phase-in, reimbursement will be based on a blend of the
facility's  historical costs and federal costs.  Thereafter,  the per diem rates
will be based 100% on federal  costs.  The  facility  specific  per diem rate is
based upon the  facility's  1995 cost report for routine,  ancillary and capital
services,  updated using a skilled nursing market basket index.  The federal per
diem is  calculated  by the  weighted  average of each  facility's  standardized
costs,  based upon the  historical  national  average per diem for  freestanding
facilities.  Facilities  that did not receive  any  Medicare  payments  prior to
October  1,  1995 are  reimbursed  100%  based on the  federal  per diem  rates.
Although temporary adjustments to the rate categories were made in the PPS rates
in November 1999,  particularly for high acuity level patients,  to date the per
diem  reimbursement  rate has  generally  been less than the amount the  Company
received on a daily basis under  cost-based  reimbursement,  particularly in the
case of higher acuity patients.  As a result, the PPS has to date had a material
adverse impact on IHS' results of operations and financial  condition.  To date,
the  implementation  of PPS has  resulted  in reduced  demand  for,  and reduced
operating margins from, the rehabilitation services it provides to third parties
because such providers are admitting  fewer  Medicare  patients and are reducing
utilization of rehabilitative services and/or providing such services with their
own personnel.

     The profitability of IHS' inpatient  services segment will be significantly
affected by the federally  established  per diem rate and IHS' cost of providing
care.  There can be no assurance  that the per diem rate will cover IHS' cost of
providing  care,  particularly  with  respect to higher  acuity  patients.  As a
result,  there can be no assurance that IHS' financial  condition and results of
operations will not continue to be materially and adversely affected.

     The Balanced Budget Act also reduced significantly Medicare payment amounts
for oxygen and oxygen  equipment,  and froze fees for durable medical  equipment
and certain  infusion  services.  There can be no assurance that these fees will
cover  IHS'  cost of  providing  such  services.  As a  result,  there can be no
assurance  that IHS'  financial  condition  and results of  operations  will not
continue to be materially and adversely affected.

     Reliance on  Reimbursement  by Third  Party  Payors.  The Company  receives
payment for services  rendered to patients  from  private  insurers and patients
themselves,  from the Federal government under Medicare,  and from the states in
which it operates  under  Medicaid.  The healthcare  industry is  experiencing a
trend toward cost  containment,  as government and other third party payors seek
to impose  lower  reimbursement  and  utilization  rates and  negotiate  reduced
payment  schedules  with service  providers.  These cost  containment  measures,
combined with the  increasing  influence of managed care payors and  competition
for  patients,  has  resulted in reduced  rates of  reimbursement  for  services
provided by IHS,  which has  adversely  affected,  and may continue to adversely
affect,  IHS'  margins,  particularly  in its inpatient  facilities.  Aspects of
certain  healthcare  reform  proposals,  such as  cutbacks in the  Medicare  and
Medicaid programs, reductions in Medicare reimbursement rates and/or limitations
on reimbursement  rate increases,  containment of healthcare costs on an interim
basis by means  that  could  include a  short-term  freeze on prices  charged by
healthcare   providers,   and  permitting   greater  state  flexibility  in  the
administration  of Medicaid,  could adversely  affect the Company.  The Balanced
Budget Act made  numerous  changes to the Medicare and Medicaid  programs  which
significantly  impacted  the  Company  and were in large  part the  cause of the
Company's need to file

                                       16

<PAGE>

under the bankruptcy laws. There can be no assurance that adequate reimbursement
levels will be available  for services to be provided by IHS which are currently
being reimbursed by Medicare,  Medicaid or private payors. Significant limits on
the scope of services  reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees could have
a material  adverse effect on the Company's  results of operations and financial
condition.  See "-- Risk of Adverse  Effect of  Healthcare  Reform."  During the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Company derived  approximately
48%,  62% and 61%,  respectively,  of its patient  revenues  from  Medicare  and
Medicaid.

     The sources and amounts of the Company's  patient revenues derived from the
operation  of its  geriatric  care  facilities  are  determined  by a number  of
factors, including licensed bed capacity of its facilities,  occupancy rate, the
mix of patients and the rates of reimbursement among payor categories  (private,
Medicare and Medicaid).  Changes in the mix of the Company's  patients among the
private pay,  Medicare  and Medicaid  categories  can  significantly  affect the
profitability  of the  Company's  operations.  IHS also  contracts  with private
payors,  including  health  maintenance  organizations  and other  managed  care
organizations, to provide certain healthcare services to patient's for a set per
diem payment for each patient.  There can be no assurance that the rates paid to
IHS by those payors will be adequate to cover the cost of providing  services to
covered beneficiaries.

     Managed care  organizations  and other third party payors have continued to
consolidate  to enhance  their  ability to influence  the delivery of healthcare
services. Consequently, the healthcare needs of a large percentage of the United
States  population are provided by a small number of managed care  organizations
and third  party  payors.  These  organizations  generally  enter  into  service
agreements with a limited number of providers for needed services. To the extent
such  organizations  terminate  IHS as a preferred  provider  and/or engage IHS'
competitors as a preferred or exclusive  provider,  the business of IHS could be
materially adversely affected.  In addition,  private payors,  including managed
care  payors,  increasingly  are  demanding  discounted  fee  structures  or the
assumption  by healthcare  providers of all or a portion of the financial  costs
through prepaid capitation.

     Risk of Adverse  Effect of  Healthcare  Reform.  In addition  to  extensive
existing government healthcare regulation, in recent years a number of laws have
been enacted which have effected  major changes in the healthcare  system,  both
nationally and at the state level. The Balanced Budget Act made numerous changes
to the Medicare  and Medicaid  programs  which have  significantly  impacted the
Company and were in large part the cause of the Company's need to file under the
bankruptcy  laws. The Balanced  Budget Act provides,  among other things,  for a
prospective  payment system for skilled nursing facilities to be implemented for
cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998, a prospective payment
system for home nursing to be implemented for cost reporting  periods  beginning
on or after  October  1, 1999  (subsequently  delayed to  October  1,  2000),  a
reduction  in  current  cost   reimbursement   for  home  nursing  care  pending
implementation of a prospective payment system, reductions (effective January 1,
1998) in  Medicare  reimbursement  for  oxygen  and  oxygen  equipment  for home
respiratory  therapy and a shift of the bulk of home health coverage from Part A
to Part B of Medicare.  The  Balanced  Budget Act also  instituted  consolidated
billing  for  skilled  nursing  facility  services,  under  which  payments  for
non-physician  Part B services for  beneficiaries  no longer eligible for Part A
skilled  nursing  facility  care  will be made to the  facility,  regardless  of
whether the item or service  was  furnished  by the  facility,  by others  under
arrangement or under any other contracting or consulting arrangement,  effective
for items or services  furnished on or after July 1, 1997.  The inability of IHS
to provide  inpatient  services  and/or home  respiratory  and  durable  medical
equipment  services at a cost below the established  Medicare fee schedule could
have a material  adverse  effect on IHS' home  respiratory  and durable  medical
equipment  operations,  post-acute  care  network and  business  generally.  IHS
expects that there will continue to be numerous  initiatives  on the federal and
state  levels  for   comprehensive   reforms   affecting  the  payment  for  and
availability of healthcare services, including proposals that will further limit
reimbursement  under  Medicare and  Medicaid.  It is not clear at this time what
proposals,  if any, will be adopted or, if adopted,  what effect such  proposals
will have on IHS'  business.  See "-- Reliance on  Reimbursement  by Third Party
Payors." There can be no assurance that currently  proposed or future healthcare
legislation  or  other  changes  in  the  administration  or  interpretation  of
governmental  healthcare programs will not have an adverse effect on the Company
or that payments under governmental programs will remain at levels comparable to
present  levels or will be sufficient  to cover the costs  allocable to patients
eligible  for  reimbursement  pursuant  to  such  programs.  Concern  about  the
potential effects of the proposed reform

                                       17

measures  has contributed to the volatility of prices of securities of companies
in  healthcare  and related industries, including the Company, and may similarly
affect  the price of the Company's securities in the future. See "-- Uncertainty
of Government Regulation."

     With respect to Medicaid,  the  Balanced  Budget Act repeals the  so-called
Boren  Amendment,  which required state Medicaid  programs to reimburse  nursing
facilities  for the costs that are  incurred  by  efficiently  and  economically
operated  providers in order to meet quality and safety standards.  As a result,
states now have considerable  flexibility in establishing payment rates, and the
Company believes many states will move towards a prospective payment type system
similar to PPS.

     The Company anticipates that federal and state governments will continue to
review  and  assess   alternative   healthcare   delivery  systems  and  payment
methodologies.  There can be no assurance that future healthcare  legislation or
other changes in the  administration or interpretation of government  healthcare
programs will not have an adverse effect on the operations of IHS.

     Uncertainty  of  Government  Regulation.  The  Company  and the  healthcare
industry generally are subject to extensive federal,  state and local regulation
governing   licensure  and  conduct  of   operations  at  existing   facilities,
construction of new facilities, acquisition of existing facilities, additions of
new services, certain capital expenditures, the quality of services provided and
the manner in which such  services are provided and  reimbursement  for services
rendered.  Changes in applicable laws and regulations or new  interpretations of
existing laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on licensure,
eligibility for participation,  permissible activities,  operating costs and the
levels of reimbursement  from  governmental  and other sources.  There can be no
assurance   that   regulatory   authorities   will  not  adopt  changes  or  new
interpretations of existing regulations that could adversely affect the Company.
The failure to maintain or renew any required  regulatory  approvals or licenses
could  prevent the Company from  offering  existing  services or from  obtaining
reimbursement.  In certain circumstances,  failure to comply at one facility may
affect the ability of the Company to obtain or  maintain  licenses or  approvals
under Medicare and Medicaid  programs at other facilities.  In addition,  in the
conduct  of its  business  the  Company's  operations  are  subject to review by
federal  and state  regulatory  agencies  to assure  continued  compliance  with
various  standards,   their  continued  licensing  under  state  law  and  their
certification under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

     In the ordinary  course of its business the  Company's  facilities  receive
notices  of  deficiencies   for  failure  to  comply  with  various   regulatory
requirements.  Generally,  the facility and the reviewing agency will agree upon
the measures to be taken to bring the facility into  compliance  with regulatory
requirements.  In some cases or upon repeat violations, the reviewing agency may
take adverse  actions  against a facility,  including  the  imposition of fines,
temporary suspension of admission of new patients to the facility, suspension or
decertification from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs, and, in
extreme circumstances, revocation of a facility's license. These adverse actions
may  adversely  affect  the  ability  of the  facility  to operate or to provide
certain  services and its eligibility to participate in the Medicare or Medicaid
programs.  In  addition,   such  adverse  actions  may  adversely  affect  other
facilities  operated by IHS.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements or that it will not
be required to expend significant amounts to do so.

     The  Company  is also  subject  to  federal  and state  laws  which  govern
financial and other arrangements between healthcare providers.  These laws often
prohibit  certain  direct and indirect  payments or  fee-splitting  arrangements
between  healthcare  providers  that are  designed  to induce or  encourage  the
referral of patients to, or the  recommendation  of, a  particular  provider for
medical  products and services.  These laws include the federal  "Stark  Bills,"
which  prohibit,  with  limited  exceptions,   financial  relationships  between
ancillary   service  providers  and  referring   physicians,   and  the  federal
"anti-kickback  law," which prohibits,  among other things, the offer,  payment,
solicitation  or receipt of any form of  remuneration in return for the referral
of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  patients.  The Office of  Inspector  General of the
Department  of Health and Human  Services,  the  Department of Justice and other
federal  agencies  interpret  these  fraud and abuse  provisions  liberally  and
enforce them  aggressively.  The Balanced Budget Act contains new civil monetary
penalties  for  violations  of these  laws and  imposes an  affirmative  duty on
providers to insure that they do not employ or contract  with  persons  excluded
from the Medicare  program.  The Balanced  Budget Act also provides a minimum 10
year period for exclusion from participation in Federal  healthcare  programs of
persons convicted of a prior

                                       18

<PAGE>

healthcare  violation.  In  addition,  some  states  restrict  certain  business
relationships  between  physicians and other  providers of healthcare  services.
Many states prohibit business corporations from providing, or holding themselves
out as a provider of, medical care.  Possible  sanctions for violation of any of
these  restrictions or prohibitions  include loss of licensure or eligibility to
participate in reimbursement  programs (including Medicare and Medicaid),  asset
forfeitures  and civil and  criminal  penalties.  These  laws vary from state to
state,  are often  vague  and have  seldom  been  interpreted  by the  courts or
regulatory agencies. The Company seeks to structure its business arrangements in
compliance  with  these  laws and,  from time to time,  the  Company  has sought
guidance  as to the  interpretation  of  such  laws;  however,  there  can be no
assurance that such laws ultimately  will be interpreted in a manner  consistent
with the practices of the Company.

     In 1995,  a major  anti-fraud  demonstration  project,  "Operation  Restore
Trust,"  was  announced  by the OIG. A primary  purpose  for the  project was to
scrutinize the activities of healthcare providers which are reimbursed under the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. Investigative efforts focused on skilled nursing
facilities,  home health and hospice  agencies  and  durable  medical  equipment
suppliers,  as well as several  other types of  healthcare  services.  Operation
Restore Trust originally focused on California,  Florida, Illinois, New York and
Texas,  but has now been  expanded  to all  states.  This  effort is  focused on
problems  with claims for  services  not rendered or not provided as claimed and
claims falsified to circumvent  coverage  limitations on medical  supplies.  IHS
expects these types of efforts to continue.  The OIG has issued, and is expected
to  continue  to issue,  special  fraud alert  bulletins  identifying  "suspect"
characteristics  of potentially  illegal  practices by and illegal  arrangements
between  providers.  The  bulletins  contain  "hot-line"  numbers and  encourage
Medicare beneficiaries,  healthcare employees,  competitors and others to report
suspected  violations.  Enforcement actions could include criminal  prosections,
suit for civil  penalties,  and/or  exclusion  from the  Medicare  and  Medicaid
programs.

     False  claims are  prohibited  pursuant  to  criminal  and civil  statutes.
Criminal  provisions  prohibit filing false claims or making false statements to
receive  payment or  certification  under  Medicare or  Medicaid,  or failing to
refund  overpayments or improper  payments;  offenses for violation are felonies
punishable  by up  to  five  years  imprisonment  and/or  $25,000  fines.  Civil
provisions  prohibit  the knowing  filing of a false claim or the knowing use of
false  statements to obtain  payment;  penalties for violations are fines of not
less than  $5,000 nor more than  $10,000,  plus treble  damages,  for each claim
filed.  Suits  alleging  false claims can be brought by  individuals,  including
employees  and  competitors.  In addition to qui tam actions  brought by private
parties,  the Company  believes that  governmental  enforcement  activities have
increased at both the federal and state levels. If it were found that any of the
Company's  practices  failed to  comply  with any of the  anti-fraud  provisions
discussed in the  paragraphs  above,  the Company could be materially  adversely
affected.

     The  Company  is  a  defendant  in  certain   actions  or  the  subject  of
investigations  concerning  alleged  violations  of the False  Claims  Act or of
Medicare regulations. As a result of the Company's financial position during the
fourth quarter of 1999, various agencies of the federal  government  accelerated
efforts to reach a resolution of all  outstanding  claims and issues  related to
the Company's  alleged  violation of healthcare  statutes and related  causes of
action.  These matters involve various government  claims,  many of which are of
unspecified  amounts.  Because the government's  review of these matters has not
been  completed,  management  is  unable  to  assess  fully  the  merits  of the
government's  monetary  claims.  Based  on  a  preliminary   evaluation  of  the
government's  estimable claims for which an unfavorable outcome is probable, the
Company  recorded  a $39.5  million  accrued  liability  for such  claims  as of
December 31, 1999.  However,  the ultimate amount of any future settlement could
differ significantly from such provision.

     Many  states  have  adopted  certificate  of need  or  similar  laws  which
generally require that the appropriate state agency approve certain acquisitions
or capital  expenditures  in excess of defined  levels and determine that a need
exists for certain new bed additions,  new services and the  acquisition of such
medical equipment or capital  expenditures or other changes prior to beds and/or
services  being  added.  Many  states  have  placed  a  moratorium  on  granting
additional  certificates  of need or otherwise  stated their intent not to grant
approval  for new beds.  To the  extent  certificates  of need or other  similar
approvals are required for expansion of the Company's operations, either through
facility  acquisitions  or  expansion  or  provision  of new  services  or other
changes, such expansion could be adversely affected by

                                       19

<PAGE>

the  failure or  inability  to obtain the  necessary  approvals,  changes in the
standards  applicable to such approvals and possible delays in, and the expenses
associated with, obtaining such approvals.

     The  Company is unable to predict the future  course of  federal,  state or
local regulation or legislation,  including  Medicare and Medicaid  statutes and
regulations.  Further changes in the regulatory  framework could have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  results of operations and financial
condition. See "-- Risk of Adverse Effect of Healthcare Reform."

     Competition.  The healthcare  industry is highly competitive and is subject
to  continuing  changes in the  provision  of  services  and the  selection  and
compensation  of providers.  The  Company's  ability to compete may be adversely
affected by its Bankruptcy Filings. The Company competes on a local and regional
basis  with  other  providers  on the basis of the  breadth  and  quality of its
services,  the quality of its facilities and, to a more limited  extent,  price.
The  Company  also  competes  with  other   providers  in  the  acquisition  and
development  of  additional  facilities  and service  providers.  The  Company's
current and potential competitors include national, regional and local operators
of geriatric care facilities, acute care hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals,
extended  care  centers,  retirement  centers and other home  respiratory  care,
infusion and durable medical equipment companies and similar institutions,  many
of which have  significantly  greater  financial  and other  resources  than the
Company. In addition, the Company competes with a number of tax-exempt nonprofit
organizations  which can  finance  acquisitions  and capital  expenditures  on a
tax-exempt basis or receive charitable contributions unavailable to the Company.
New service  introductions and enhancements,  acquisitions,  continued  industry
consolidation and the development of strategic relationships by IHS' competitors
could cause a significant  decline in sales or loss of market acceptance of IHS'
services or intense  price  competition  or make IHS'  services  noncompetitive.
Further,  technological advances in drug delivery systems and the development of
new medical treatments that cure certain complex diseases or reduce the need for
healthcare  services could adversely impact the business of IHS. There can be no
assurance  that IHS will be able to  compete  successfully  against  current  or
future  competitors  or that  competitive  pressures  will not  have a  material
adverse effect on IHS' business,  financial condition and results of operations.
IHS also competes with various  healthcare  providers with respect to attracting
and retaining qualified management and other personnel.  Any significant failure
by IHS to attract and retain  qualified  employees could have a material adverse
effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

     Effect of Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions. IHS' Third Restated Certificate
of Incorporation  and By-laws,  as well as the Delaware General  Corporation Law
(the "DGCL"), contain certain provisions that could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire,  or discouraging a third party from
attempting to acquire,  control of IHS. These  provisions  could limit the price
that  certain  investors  might be  willing  to pay in the  future for shares of
Common  Stock.   Certain  of  these  provisions  allow  IHS  to  issue,  without
stockholder  approval,  preferred  stock having voting rights senior to those of
the  Common  Stock.   Other  provisions  impose  various  procedural  and  other
requirements  that  could  make it more  difficult  for  stockholders  to effect
certain corporate actions. In addition, the IHS Stockholders' Rights Plan, which
provides  for  discount  purchase  rights to  certain  stockholders  of IHS upon
certain  acquisitions of 20% or more of the outstanding  shares of Common Stock,
may also inhibit a change in control of IHS. As a Delaware  corporation,  IHS is
subject to Section 203 of the DGCL,  which, in general,  prevents an "interested
stockholder"  (defined  generally  as  a  person  owning  15%  or  more  of  the
corporation's   outstanding   voting   stock)  from   engaging  in  a  "business
combination"  (as defined) for three years following the date such person became
an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are satisfied.

     Possible  Volatility  of  Securities'  Prices.  There has been  significant
volatility  in the  market  price of the  Common  Stock and the  Company's  debt
securities,  and it is likely that the price of these  securities will fluctuate
in the future.  The potential  value,  if any, of the Common Stock following the
Company's  reorganization under the bankruptcy laws, quarterly operating results
of IHS, changes in general  conditions in the economy,  the financial markets or
the healthcare industry, or other developments affecting IHS or its competitors,
could  cause  the  market  price of the  Common  Stock  and the  Company's  debt
securities to fluctuate  substantially.  In addition,  in recent years the stock
market and, in particular,  the healthcare  industry  segment,  has  experienced
significant  price and volume  fluctuations.  This  volatility  has affected the
market price of securities  issued by many  companies  for reasons  unrelated to
their operating performance. In the past,

                                       20

<PAGE>

following  periods of volatility in the market price of a company's  securities,
securities  class  action  litigation  has often  been  initiated  against  such
company.  Such litigation  could result in substantial  costs and a diversion of
management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect
upon IHS' business, operating results and financial condition.

(1) Represents  locations  within the state from which the  Company  offers home
    respiratory  services (774 service  locations),  hospice services (9 service
    locations),  contract  rehabilitation and respiratory  services (159 service
    locations),  mobile diagnostic services (23 service locations,  including 15
    fixed  lithotripsy  service  locations)  and  medical  products  services (2
    service  locations).  In  addition,  other  service  locations  includes  17
    specialty  hospitals,  5 assisted living facilities and 8 specialty clinics.
    The  majority of these  facilities  are leased.  Substantially  all of these
    service  locations are small agencies which are  administrative in function,
    with  substantially all healthcare  services being provided at the patient's
    home or in a geriatric care facility,  rather than the service location. The
    only  exceptions are the 15 fixed  lithotripsy  centers,  5 assisted  living
    facilities,  8  specialty  clinics,  17  specialty  hospitals  and 9 hospice
    facilities, where services are provided at the locations.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may elect to assume or reject real estate
leases.  The  Company is in the process of  analyzing  and  reviewing  its lease
portfolio.  The Company  expects to terminate  certain  leases  and/or seek rent
relief for certain facilities.

     The Common Stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
"IHS" through  December 22, 1999, when trading in the Company's Common stock was
suspended on the NYSE. On January 5, 2000, the Common Stock commenced trading on
the  over-the-counter  bulletin board  ("OTCBB")  under the symbol  "IHSV".  The
following  table  sets  forth for the  periods  indicated  the high and low last
reported  sale  prices for the Common  Stock as  reported  by the New York Stock
Exchange.

     As of March 15, 2000, there were approximately  1,600 record holders of the
Common Stock.

     As a result of the Bankruptcy  Filings,  the Company  anticipates  that its
currently  outstanding  Common Stock will have no value  following the Company's
reorganization under the bankruptcy Laws.

     In 1997 the Company  declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per share.  IHS does
not expect to pay cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable  future.
The Company's  secured super  priority  debtor in  possession  credit  agreement
prohibits the payment of dividends. The Company's term loan and revolving credit
facility  prohibits the payment of dividends without the consent of the lenders,
and the indentures under which the Company's 10 1/4% Senior  Subordinated  Notes
due  2006,  9  1/2%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due  2007  and 9  1/4%  Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2008  limit the  payment  of  dividends  unless  certain
financial tests are met.

ITEM 6. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following tables  summarize  certain  selected  consolidated  financial
data,  which  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  Consolidated

the five-year  period ended  December 31, 1999 and as of the end of each of such
periods have been  derived from the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of the

(1) The Company has grown substantially  through acquisitions and the opening of
    MSUs,   which   acquisitions   and  MSU  openings   materially   affect  the
    comparability of the financial data reflected herein. In addition,  IHS sold
    its pharmacy  division in 1996; a majority  interest in its assisted  living
    services  subsidiary  ("LLC") in October 1996 (the "ILC  Offering")  and the
    remaining  interest  in ILC in July  1997 (the "ILC  Sale");  its  physician
    practice and outpatient  clinic operations in 1998 and its infusion business
    in 1999.  See "Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial

(2) As a result of the Company's financial position during the fourth quarter of
    1999,  various  agencies of the federal  government  accelerated  efforts to
    reach a  resolution  of all  outstanding  claims and  issues  related to the
    Company's  alleged  violation of healthcare  statutes and related  causes of
    action.  These matters involve various government claims,  many of which are
    of unspecified amounts. Because the government's review of these matters has
    not been  completed,  management is unable to assess fully the merits of the
    government's  monetary  claims.  Based on a  preliminary  evaluation  of the
    government's  estimable claims, for which an unfavorable outcome is probable
    the Company recorded a $39.5 million accrued liability for such claims as of
    December 31, 1999.  However,  the ultimate  amount of any future  settlement
    could differ significantly from such provision.

(3) In 1995,  consists of (i) expenses of $1,939,000  related to the merger with
    IntegraCare,  (ii) a $21,915,000 loss on the write-off of accrued management
    fees  ($8,496,000),  loans  ($11,097,000)  and  contract  acquisition  costs
    ($2,322,000) related to the Company's termination of its agreement,  entered
    into in January 1994, to manage 23 long-term care and psychiatric facilities
    owned by Crestwood Hospital,  (iii) the write-off of $25,785,000 of deferred
    pre-opening costs resulting from a change in accounting  estimate  regarding
    the  future  benefit  of  deferred  pre-opening  costs  and  (iv) a loss  of
    $83,321,000  resulting from the Company's election in December 1995 of early
    implementation of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
    Assets  and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be  Disposed  Of." In 1996,  consists
    primarily  of (i) a gain  of  $34,298,000  from  the  sale  of its  pharmacy
    division,  (ii) a loss of $8,497,000 from the sale of shares in its assisted
    living  services  subsidiary,  and (iii) a  $7,825,000  loss on write-off of
    accrued  management fees and loans resulting from the Company's  termination
    of its ten year  management  contract with All Seasons,  originally  entered
    into during  September 1994.  Because IHS' investment in the Capstone common
    stock  received in the sale of its  pharmacy  division  had a very small tax
    basis,  the taxable  gain on the sale  significantly  exceeded  the gain for
    financial  reporting  purposes,  thereby  resulting in a  disproportionately
    higher income tax provision related to the sale. In 1997, consists primarily
    of (i) a gain of $7,580,000  realized on the shares of Capstone common stock
    received  in the  sale of its  pharmacy  division,  (ii)  the  write-off  of
    $6,555,000 of accounting,  legal and other costs resulting from the proposed
    merger transaction with Coram Healthcare  Corporation,  (iii) the payment to
    Coram of  $21,000,000  in connection  with the  termination  of the proposed
    merger  transaction with Coram, (iv) a gain of $3,914,000 from the ILC Sale,
    (v) a loss of $4,750,000  resulting from termination  payments in connection
    with the RoTech Acquisition and (vi) loss of $102,645,000 resulting from its
    plan to  dispose  of certain  non-strategic  assets to allow the  Company to
    focus on its core operations.  In 1999,  consists primarily of (i) a loss on
    impairment  of  long-lived  assets  of   $1,641,487,000,   (ii)  a  loss  of
    $383,846,000 from the sale of the Company's infusion business,  (iii) a loss
    of  $21,754,000  in  connection  with  the  closure  of  certain  diagnostic
    operations,  (iv)  a loss  of  $10,865,000  from  abandoned  and  terminated
    computer  systems,  (v) a  loss  of  $7,020,000  on the  termination  of its
    proposed sale of RoTech,  (vi) a loss of $9,195,000  from the  settlement of
    notes  receivable,  and  (vii)  $2,165,000  of other  charges.  See "Item 7.
    Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
    Operations  --  Acquisition  and  Divestiture  History"  and "--  Results of
    Operations" and Notes 1(g),  1(k) and 20 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial
    Statements.

(4) In  October  1998,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  adopted  a plan to
    discontinue  its home health  nursing  business  segment.  Accordingly,  the
    operating  results of the home  health  nursing  business  of  approximately
    $35,903,000  (net of tax),  as well as the loss on disposal of  $168,967,000
    including  provisions  for  estimated  lease  termination  costs,   employee
    benefits  and losses  during  the  phase-out  period  (net of tax) have been
    segregated from  continuing  operations and reported as a separate line item
    on the  statement  of  operations.  The Company has  reclassified  its prior
    financial  statements  to present the  operating  results of the home health
    nursing business as a discontinued operation.  The assets and liabilities of
    such  operations  at  December  31,  1997  have  been  reflected  as  a  net
    non-current asset based substantially on the original classification of such
    assets  and  liabilities.  See  Note 8 of Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
    Statements.

(5) In 1995, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,647,000
    relating  primarily  to  prepayment  charges and the  write-off  of deferred
    financing  costs.  Such loss,  reduced by the  related  income tax effect of
    $634,000,  is  presented  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1995  as  an
    extraordinary  loss of $1,013,000.  In 1996, the Company  recorded a loss on
    extinguishment of debt of $2,327,000, relating primarily to the write-off of
    deferred  financing  costs.  Such loss,  reduced by the  related  income tax
    effect of $896,000, is presented in the statement of operations for the year
    ended December 31, 1996 as an extraordinary loss of $1,431,000. In 1997, IHS
    recorded  a loss on  extinguishment  of debt  of  $33,692,000,  representing
    approximately  (i) $23,554,000 of cash payments for premium and consent fees
    relating to the early  extinguishment  of $214,868,000  aggregate  principal
    amount of IHS' senior  subordinated  notes and (ii)  $10,138,000 of deferred
    financing costs written off in connection with the early  extinguishment  of
    such debt and the Company's revolving credit facility. Such loss, reduced by
    the related income tax effect of $13,140,000,  is presented in the statement
    of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 as an extraordinary  loss
    of  $20,552,000.   In  October  1999,  B&G  Partners   Limited   Partnership
    transferred  9 1/4% Senior  Notes,  10 1/4%  Senior  Notes and 5 3/4% Senior
    Debentures (collectviely referred to as "Senior Notes") with a face value of
    approximately $3,345,000, $6,050,000 and $1,091,000, respectively, to IHS in
    satisfaction of its obligation to the Company  pursuant to a promissory note
    dated  December  10,  1993 in the  amount  of  $10,486,000.  On the  date of
    transfer to IHS, the Senior  Notes had a fair market value of  approximately
    $1,291,000.  As a result, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of notes
    receivable, (which has been reflected as a non-recurring charge), and a gain
    on  extinguishment  of debt,  (which has been reflected as an  extraordinary
    item), of approximately $9,195,000 in 1999.

(6) Represents  the  write-off,  net of income tax benefit,  of the  unamortized
    balance  of  costs  of  business  process   reengineering   and  information
    technology  projects.  See  Note  21  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
    Statements.

(7) The share and per share  information  for the years ended  December 31, 1995
    and 1996 have been  restated to reflect share and per share  information  in
    accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,
    "Earnings  per Share," which was adopted by the Company  effective  with its
    financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 1997. See Notes 1(m)
    and 13 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements.  The diluted weighted
    average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31,
    1996,  1997 and 1998  includes  the assumed  conversion  of the  convertible
    subordinated  debentures  into  IHS  Common  Stock.  Additionally,  interest
    expense and  amortization of  underwriting  costs related to such debentures
    are added,  net of tax,  to income for the  purpose of  calculating  diluted
    earnings per share.  Such amounts  aggregated  $9,888,000,  $10,216,000  and
    $7,396,000  for  the  years  ended   December  31,  1996,   1997  and  1998,
    respectively.   The  diluted   weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
    outstanding  for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1999 does not include
    the assumed  conversion of the  convertible  subordinated  debentures or the
    related interest expense and underwriting costs, as such conversion would be
    anti-dilutive.

(8)  The effect of dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
     1999 have been excluded because the effect is anti-dilutive.

(9) Due to the failure to make payments and comply with certain  covenants,  the
    Company is in default of substantially  all its long-term debt  obligations.
    As a result these  obligations  are  classified  as current  liabilities  at
    December 31, 1999.

INTRODUCTION

     In the past 15 years, the number of people over the age of 65 began to grow
significantly faster than the overall population.  At the same time, advances in
medical technology have increased the life expectancies of an increasingly large
number  of  medically   complex   patients.   This  trend,   combined  with  the
implementation  of healthcare cost containment  measures by private insurers and
government  reimbursement programs, has created a need for a more cost efficient
alternate  site for the provision of a wide range of medical and  rehabilitative
services which  traditionally  have been provided in an acute care hospital.  To
address this need, the Company began in the late 1980s to develop  subacute care
programs  within its geriatric care  facilities.  Beginning in 1993, the Company
began to expand the range of related services it offers to its patients directly
in order to serve the full  spectrum of  patients'  post-acute  care needs.  The
Company is now able to offer directly to its patients, rather than through third
party  providers,  a continuum of care  following  discharge  from an acute care
hospital.  IHS'  post-acute  services  include  subacute care,  skilled  nursing
facility  care,  home  respiratory  care and contract  rehabilitation,  hospice,
lithotripsy and diagnostic services.

     IHS presently  operates 366 geriatric care  facilities (290 owned or leased
and 76 managed), 17 specialty hospitals and nine hospice facilities. The Company
provides a wide range of basic  medical and subacute  care services as well as a
comprehensive  array  of  respiratory,   physical,   speech,   occupational  and
physiatric  therapy in all its geriatric care  facilities.  The Company has over
2,000 contracts to provide services,  primarily physical,  occupational,  speech
and respiratory therapies,  to third-party skilled nursing facilities,  subacute
care centers,  assisted living  facilities,  hospitals and other locations.  IHS
also provides mobile  diagnostics  such as portable x-ray and EKG to patients in
geriatric  care  facilities  and  other  settings,  lithotripsy  services  on an
outpatient  basis,  as well as  diversified  home  respiratory  care  and  other
pharmacy-related   services  and  durable   medical   equipment   products  from
approximately 800 primarily non-urban locations in 44 states.

     IHS initially  focused on the  provision of subacute  care through  Medical
Specialty Units ("MSUs"), which were typically 20 to 75 bed specialty units with
physical identities, specialized medical technology and staffs separate from the
geriatric care facilities in which they were located.  Because of the high level
of specialized care provided, the Company's MSUs generated  substantially higher
net revenue and operating profit per patient day than traditional geriatric care
facilities.  While IHS continues to focus on the provision of subacute  care, it
is no longer focusing on providing such care through its MSUs.

     IHS  receives  payments  for  services  rendered to patients  from  private
insurers and patients  themselves,  from the Federal  government under Medicare,
and from the  states  in which  certain  of its  facilities  are  located  under
Medicaid.  The  sources  and  amounts  of the  Company's  patient  revenues  are
determined  by a number of  factors,  including  licensed  bed  capacity  of its
facilities,  occupancy rate, the mix of patients and the rates of  reimbursement
among payor categories (private,  Medicare and Medicaid).  Changes in the mix of
IHS'  patients  among the private  pay,  Medicare and  Medicaid  categories  can
significantly   affect   the   profitability   of  the   Company's   operations.
Historically,  the Company  derived higher  revenue from  providing  specialized
medical services than routine  inpatient care.  Generally,  private pay patients
are the most profitable and Medicaid patients are the least profitable. IHS also
contracts with private payors,  including health  maintenance  organizations and

patients

for a set per diem payment for each patient.  There can be no assurance that the
rates  paid to IHS by  these  payors  will be  adequate  to  cover  the  cost of
providing  services  to  covered  beneficiaries.  The  Balanced  Budget Act made
numerous changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs which have  significantly
and adversely impacted the Company.

     Until the  implementation  of the  prospective  payment  system,  which was
completed for IHS' facilities on June 1, 1999,  Medicare  reimbursed the skilled
nursing facility based on a reasonable cost standard.  With certain  exceptions,
payment for skilled nursing facility services was made prospectively,  with each
facility  receiving  an  interim  payment  during  the  year  for  its  expected
reimbursable  costs.  The interim  payment was later  adjusted to reflect actual
allowable  direct and indirect  costs of services  based on the submission of an
annual cost report.  Each  facility was also subject to limits on  reimbursement
for routine  costs.  Exceptions to these limits were  available for, among other
things, the provision of atypical  services.  The Company's cost of care for its
subacute  care  patients  generally  exceeded  regional   reimbursement   limits
established  under Medicare,  and IHS submitted waiver requests to recover these
excess costs. To date, the Company's final rates as approved by HCFA represented
approximately  90% of the requested  rates as submitted in the waiver  requests.
There can be no assurance,  however, that IHS will be able to recover its excess
costs under any waiver requests.

     The Balanced Budget Act mandated the establishment of a prospective payment
system  ("PPS") for Medicare  skilled  nursing  facility  services,  under which
facilities are paid a fixed fee for virtually all covered services. PPS is being
phased in over a four-year period,  effective January 1, 1999 for IHS' owned and
leased skilled  nursing  facilities  other than the  facilities  acquired in the
Facility  Acquisition,  which facilities  became subject to PPS on June 1, 1999.
Prospective  payment for  facilities  managed by IHS became  effective  for each
facility at the beginning of its first cost reporting period on or after July 1,
1998.  During the first three  years,  payments  will be based on a blend of the
facility's  historical  costs  (based  largely on the  facility's  costs for the
services it provided to Medicare  beneficiaries  in the 1994-1995 base year) and
federal  costs.  Thereafter,  the per diem  rates  will be based 100% on federal
costs. Facilities that did not receive any Medicare payments prior to October 1,
1995 are  reimbursed  100% based on the federal per diem rates.  Under PPS, each
patient's  clinical status is evaluated and placed into a payment category.  The
patient's payment category dictates the amount that the provider will receive to
care for the patient on a daily basis.  The per diem rate covers (i) all routine
inpatient costs currently paid under Medicare Part A, (ii) certain ancillary and
other items and services  previously covered separately under Medicare Part B on
a "pass-through"  basis, and (iii) certain capital costs. The Company's  ability
to offer the  ancillary  services  required by higher acuity  patients,  such as
those in its subacute care programs, in a cost-effective manner will be critical
to the  Company's  success and will affect the  profitability  of the  Company's
Medicare patients.  To date the per diem reimbursement rates have generally been
less than the amount the Company  received  on a daily  basis  under  cost-based
reimbursement,  particularly in the case of higher acuity patients. As a result,
PPS has to date had a material  adverse impact on IHS' results of operations and
financial  condition.  In  November  1999,  the  acuity  adjusted  PPS rates for
specified acuity categories were temporarily increased in an attempt to mitigate
some of the adverse effects of the Balanced Budget Act pending refinement to PPS
rates to better account for medically complex patients.

     Under the various Medicaid  programs,  the federal  government  supplements
funds provided by the participating  states for medical assistance to qualifying
needy individuals. The programs are administered by the applicable state welfare
or social service agencies. Although Medicaid programs vary from state to state,
typically  they provide for the payment of certain  expenses,  up to established
limits.  The Balanced Budget Act also contains changes to the Medicaid  program,
the most  significant of which is the repeal of the Boren  Amendment.  The Boren
Amendment  required state Medicaid programs to pay rates that are reasonable and
adequate to meet the costs that must be incurred by a nursing  facility in order
to provide  care and  services  in  compliance  with  applicable  standards.  By
repealing the Boren Amendment,  the Balanced Budget Act eases the impediments on
the states'  ability to reduce their  Medicaid  reimbursement  for such services
and,  as a result,  states now have  considerable  flexibility  in  establishing
payment  rates.  Texas has now  adopted a case-mix  prospective  payment  system
similar to the Medicare PPS, and the Company expects additional states will move
in this  direction.  IHS is unable to predict what effect such changes will have
on the  Company.  There can be no  assurance  that any  changes to the  Medicaid
program will not have a material adverse impact on the Company.

     Under PPS, the reimbursement for  rehabilitation  therapy services provided
to nursing  facility  patients is a component of the total  reimbursement to the
nursing facility allowed per patient. Medicare pays the skilled nursing facility
directly  for all  rehabilitation  services  and the outside  suppliers  of such
services to residents of the skilled nursing  facility must collect payment from
the skilled nursing facility.  Effective January 1, 1999 a per beneficiary limit
of $1,500 applies to all rehabilitation therapy services provided under Medicare
Part B ($1,500  for  physical  and  speech-language  pathology  services,  and a
separate  $1,500  for  occupational  therapy  services);  this  $1,500  cap  was
temporarily  suspended  for the two  year  period  beginning  January  1,  2000.
Additionally, effective January 1, 1999, Medicare Part B therapy services are no
longer  being  reimbursed  on a cost basis;  rather,  payment  for each  service
provided  is based on fee screen  schedules  published  in November  1998.  As a
result of the  implementation  of PPS,  the  Company has to date  experienced  a
substantial  reduction in demand for and reduced operating margins from, therapy
services it provides to third  parties,  because such  providers  are  admitting
fewer Medicare patients and are reducing utilization of rehabilitative  services
and/or providing such services with their own personnel.

     Prior  to  the  implementation  of  PPS,  Medicare  covered  and  paid  for
rehabilitation  therapy  services  furnished in facilities in various ways.  For
rehabilitation  services  provided  directly,  specific  guidelines  existed for
evaluating the reasonable  cost of physical  therapy,  occupational  therapy and
speech  language  pathology   services.   Medicare  applied  salary  equivalency
guidelines  in  determining  the  reasonable   cost  of  physical   therapy  and
respiratory services,  which is the cost that would be incurred if the therapist
was employed by a nursing  facility,  plus an amount  designed to compensate the
provider for certain general and  administrative  overhead costs. Until April 1,
1998,  Medicare  paid for  occupational  therapy and speech  language  pathology
services on a reasonable  cost basis,  subject to the so-called  "prudent buyer"
rule for  evaluating  the  reasonableness  of the costs.  In January 1998,  HCFA
issued  rules  applying  salary   equivalency   limits  to  certain  speech  and
occupational  therapy  services and revised  existing  physical and  respiratory
therapy limits.  The new limits were effective for services provided on or after
April 1, 1998 until nursing  facilities  transitioned to PPS. IHS' gross margins
for  services   reimbursed   under  the  salary   equivalency   guidelines  were
significantly less than services reimbursed under the "prudent buyer" rule.

     The Medicare  program  reimburses  IHS' home  respiratory  care and durable
medical  equipment  services and  reimbursed  home  infusion  services,  under a
charge-based  system,  pursuant to which the Company receives either a fixed fee
for a  specific  service or  product  or a fixed per diem  amount for  providing
certain  services.  The Balanced Budget Act reduced Medicare payment amounts for
oxygen and oxygen  equipment  furnished  after January 1, 1998 to 75% of the fee
schedule  amounts in effect during 1997.  Payment  amounts for oxygen and oxygen
equipment  furnished  after January 1, 1999 and each  subsequent year thereafter
are  reduced to 70% of the fee  schedule  amounts  in effect  during  1997.  The
Balanced Budget Act freezes the Consumer Price Index (U.S. urban average) update
for  covered  items of  durable  medical  equipment  for each of the years  1998
through 2002 while limiting fees for parenteral and enteral nutrients,  supplies
and  equipment  to 1995  reasonable  charge  levels  over the same  period.  The
Balanced Budget Act reduces payment amounts for covered drugs and biologicals to
95% of the average  wholesale  price of such covered items for each of the years
1998 through 2002.  The Balanced  Budget Act authorizes the Department of Health
and  Human  Services  ("HHS")  to  conduct  up  to  five   competitive   bidding
demonstration  projects for the  acquisition  of durable  medical  equipment and
requires that one such project be established  for oxygen and oxygen  equipment.
Each demonstration  project is to be operated over a three-year period and is to
be conducted in not more than three competitive  acquisition areas. The Balanced
Budget Act also  includes  provisions  designed to reduce  healthcare  fraud and
abuse,  including  a surety  bond  requirement  for  durable  medical  equipment
providers.

     The Medicare program  reimbursed the Company's home nursing services (which
was discontinued in 1998) on a cost-based system, under which IHS was reimbursed
at the lowest of IHS' reimbursable costs (based on Medicare  regulations),  cost
limits  established  by HCFA or IHS'  charges.  The Balanced  Budget Act reduced
current cost  reimbursement  for home nursing care pending  implementation  of a
prospective  payment  system,  which the BBA  mandated be  implemented  for cost
reporting  periods  beginning  on or  after  October  1,  1999  (which  date was
subsequently  extended to October 1, 2000).  This postponement of implementation
of a  prospective  payment  system for home  nursing and the  reduction  in cost
reimbursement  resulted  in IHS'  decision  in 1998 to  exit  the  home  nursing
business.

     The  Company  expects  that both third party and  governmental  payors will
continue to undertake cost containment  measures designed to limit payments made
to  healthcare  providers  such as IHS.  Furthermore,  government  programs  are
subject to statutory  and  regulatory  changes,  retroactive  rate  adjustments,
administrative  rulings and government  funding  restrictions,  all of which may
materially  increase or  decrease  the rate of program  payments  to  facilities
managed and  operated by IHS.  There can be no  assurance  that  payments  under
governmental  and  third-party  private  payor  programs  will  remain at levels
comparable to present levels or will, in the future,  be sufficient to cover the
operating and other costs allocable to patients  participating in such programs.
In addition,  there can be no assurance that facilities owned, leased or managed
by IHS now or in the  future  will  initially  meet  or  continue  to  meet  the
requirements for  participation  in such programs.  The Company has been and may
continue to be, adversely affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and
private third party payors to contain the amount of reimbursement for healthcare
services.  In an attempt to limit the Federal and state budget  deficits,  there
have  been,  and IHS  expects  that  there  will  continue  to be, a  number  of
additional proposals to limit Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for healthcare
services.  The Company cannot at this time predict  whether this  legislation or
any other  legislation  will be adopted  or, if adopted  and  implemented,  what
effect,  if any,  such  legislation  will have on IHS. See "Item 1.  Business --
Government  Regulation" and "-- Cautionary  Statements -- Risk of Adverse Effect
of Healthcare Reform."

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Home nursing is the largest,  the most  labor-intensive  and  generally the
least profitable segment of the home healthcare market. IHS exited this business
in late 1998.  Home  nursing  services  provided by IHS ranged from skilled care
provided by registered and other nurses, typically for those recently discharged
from hospitals,  to unskilled  services delivered by home health aides for those
needing help with the  activities  of daily  living.  Home nursing also included
physical,  occupational  and speech therapy,  as well as social worker services.
The  Medicare  program  reimbursed  the  Company's  home  nursing  services on a
cost-based  system,  under  which  IHS  was  reimbursed  at the  lowest  of IHS'
reimbursable costs (based on Medicare  regulations),  cost limits established by
HCFA or IHS'  charges.  Although  IHS  substantially  expanded  its home nursing
services through acquisitions in 1996 and 1997, the delay in implementation of a
prospective payment system for Medicare home nursing until after October 1, 2000
and a reduction in current cost  reimbursement  adversely affected the Company's
financial  performance  and  resulted  in the  Company's  decision  in the third
quarter of 1998 to exit the home health nursing business.

BANKRUPTCY FILING

     On February 2, 2000, the Company and  substantially all of its subsidiaries
filed  voluntary  petitions  (the  "Bankruptcy  Filings")  in the United  States
Bankruptcy  Court for the District of Delaware  (the  "Bankruptcy  Court") under
Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy  Code.  The  Company's  need to seek
relief under the Bankruptcy Code is due, in part, to the  significant  financial
pressure created by the Balanced Budget Act and its implementation, which, among
other things,  changed  Medicare  reimbursement  for nursing  facilities  from a
cost-based  retrospective  reimbursement system to a prospective payment system.
The per diem  reimbursement  rates  under  PPS  were  significantly  lower  than
anticipated  by the industry,  and generally  have been less than the amount the
Company's  facilities received on a daily basis under cost-based  reimbursement.
Moreover,  since IHS treats a greater  percentage of higher acuity patients than
many  nursing  facilities,  IHS has also been  adversely  affected  because  the
federally  established  per diem rates do not adequately  compensate the Company
for the  additional  expenses  of caring for such  patients.  In  addition,  the
implementation  of PPS has resulted in a greater than expected decline in demand
for the  Company's  therapy  services.  The  changes in  Medicare  reimbursement
resulting from the Balanced Budget Act have had a material adverse effect on the
Company,  rendering  IHS unable to service  its debt  obligations  to its senior
lenders  and  subordinated  noteholders  while  at the  same  time  meeting  its
operating  expenses.  The  Company  hopes  to  use  the  Bankruptcy  Filings  to
restructure its capital  structure to better position the Company to address the
changed economics  resulting from the implementation of the Balanced Budget Act.
The Balanced  Budget Act has also  materially  adversely  affected the Company's
competitors,  several of which have also filed voluntary petitions under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis,  which contemplates  continuity of operations,  realization of assets and
liquidation  of liabilities in the ordinary  course of business.  However,  as a
result of the  Bankruptcy  Filings  and  circumstances  relating  to this event,
including  the  Company's   leveraged   financial   structure  and  losses  from
operations, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities is subject
to  significant  uncertainty.  While  under the  protection  of Chapter  11, the
Company  may sell or  otherwise  dispose  of  assets,  and  liquidate  or settle
liabilities, for amounts other than those reflected in the financial statements.
Further,  a plan of reorganization  could materially change the amounts reported
in the financial statements,  which do not give effect to all adjustments of the
carrying value of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence
of a plan of  reorganization.  The  Company's  ability  to  continue  as a going
concern  is  dependent  upon,  among  other  things,  confirmation  of a plan of
reorganization,  future  profitable  operations,  the ability to comply with the
terms of the DIP Financing Agreement and the ability to generate sufficient cash
from operations and financing arrangements to meet obligations.

ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE HISTORY

     Facility Acquisitions

     The Company commenced  operations on March 25, 1986. From inception to June
30, 1988, the Company  acquired seven  geriatric care facilities with a total of
900 beds and acquired  leasehold  interests in seven  geriatric care  facilities
having a total of 1,050  beds.  The Company  initiated  its MSU program in April
1988, in conjunction with HEALTHSOUTH Corporation ("HEALTHSOUTH"), with a 16 bed
unit serving patients with traumatic brain injury.

     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1989 the Company  acquired  leasehold
interests in six geriatric care  facilities  having 974 beds and entered into an
agreement to manage one geriatric care facility  having 121 beds. One of the six
leased  facilities,  having 143 beds, was subject to a sublease to a third party
and was managed by the Company for such third  party.  The  sublease  terminated
February  2,  1991 and the  facility  was  treated  as a leased,  rather  than a
managed, facility. In addition, the Company opened two MSU programs totalling 35
beds.

     During  fiscal year ended June 30, 1990 the Company  acquired one geriatric
care facility  having 101 beds, a leasehold  interest in one facility having 210
beds,  and a 49% joint  venture  interest in a 160 bed  geriatric  care facility
which was managed by the Company until its purchase in September  1994. IHS also
entered into agreements to manage three other  geriatric care facilities  having
468 beds and  acquired  90%  (assuming  the  exercise of all options and related
exchange   rights)   of  the   stock  of   Professional   Community   Management
International,  Inc. ("PCM"),  which managed  residential  retirement  community
living units in Southern  California.  The Company sold PCM in 1994. The Company
also opened six MSU programs totalling 77 beds.

     In  December  1990,  the  Company  acquired  leasehold  interests  in  four
geriatric care facilities having 328 beds and received by assignment  management
agreements  covering 12  facilities  having 1,403 beds.  On July 24,  1990,  the
Company assumed the management of 14 of these 16 facilities  and,  subsequent to
July 24, 1990,  assumed the management of the remaining two facilities,  pending
the consummation of the acquisition. In 1991 the owners of four of these managed
facilities  terminated the Company's  management agreement for those facilities.
During the six months  ended  December  31,  1990 the  Company  opened  four MSU
programs totalling 71 beds.

     In December 1991, the Company leased two geriatric care facilities having a
total of 258 beds. The Company also opened six MSU programs totalling 106 beds.

     During 1992,  the Company  expanded  its MSU focus by opening  thirteen MSU
programs totaling 250 beds at its facilities, expanding seven MSU programs by 61
beds and  converting its  neuro-rehabilitation  MSU program for the treatment of
patients with traumatic  brain injury,  which was operated in  conjunction  with
HEALTHSOUTH,  to a 16 bed complex care MSU program. Also the Company expanded by
acquiring  one geriatric  care  facility with a total of 120 beds,  leasing five
facilities  having a total of 640 beds and  entering  into  thirteen  management
contracts having a total of 1,481 beds. The total

                                       33

<PAGE>

cost of the aforementioned  acquisitions was approximately $13.9 million,  which
includes  all costs to secure the facility or  leasehold  interest.  None of the
acquisitions were individually  significant and all were financed with cash flow
from operations and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

     During 1993, the Company  expanded its MSU focus by opening 30 MSU programs
totaling 442 beds (including four MSU programs  totalling 84 beds at its managed
facilities)  and  expanding 24 MSU programs by 140 beds. On December 1, 1993 the
Company acquired  substantially  all of the United States  operations of Central
Park Lodges, Inc. ("CPL"),  consisting of 30 geriatric care facilities (24 owned
and 6 leased) and nine  retirement  facilities,  totaling 5,210 beds, a division
which provides pharmacy consulting services and supplies, prescription drugs and
intravenous  medications to geriatric care facilities through five pharmacies in
Florida,  Pennsylvania  and Texas,  and a  division  which  provides  healthcare
personnel and support  services to home  healthcare  and  institutional  markets
through five branch locations located in Florida and  Pennsylvania.  The Company
disposed  of  seven  retirement  facilities  and  five  of  the  geriatric  care
facilities acquired from CPL that the Company did not consider to fit within its
post-acute   care  strategy.   The  total  cost  of  the  CPL   acquisition  was
approximately   $185.3  million,   including  $20.1  million  in  assumption  of
indebtedness, warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company
at a  purchase  price per share of $28.92  (valued at $1.4  million),  and other
direct  acquisition  costs.  The $163.8  million  cash paid to purchase  CPL was
financed using the Company's term loan and revolving credit facility. The number
of  shares  and  price  per  share  are  subject  to  adjustment  under  certain
circumstances. In addition, the Company agreed to provide consulting services to
Trizec for the development of subacute care programs at its Canadian facilities.
The Company  received a consulting  fee of $4.0 million and $3.0 million in 1994
and 1995, respectively.

     During 1993, the Company also acquired eight geriatric care facilities (two
of which had  previously  been leased by IHS),  leased one  facility and entered
into nine management contracts.

     During  1994,  the Company  continued to expand its MSU focus by opening 49
MSU programs  totalling 998 beds (including four MSU programs totalling 102 beds
at its managed facilities which includes 33 beds located at a facility no longer
managed by the Company as of August  1994) and  expanding 18 MSU programs by 100
beds.  During  the  same  period,  the  Company  acquired  five  geriatric  care
facilities (two of which had been previously  leased and three of which had been
managed by IHS),  leased 49 (three of which had been previously  owned and seven
of which had been previously  managed) and entered into 42 management  contracts
(five of which have become leased  facilities,  one of which has become an owned
facility and one of which was terminated).

     Effective  January 1, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to manage
23 facilities in California,  consisting of 14 geriatric care facilities  having
1,875 beds and nine  psychiatric  facilities  having 1,265 beds (the  "Crestwood
Facilities"),   owned  by  certain   affiliated   partnerships  (the  "Crestwood
Partnerships")  and  leased by  Crestwood  Hospitals,  Inc.  ("Crestwood").  The
management  agreement  had a term of ten years and  provided for payments to IHS
based upon a  percentage  of the gross  revenues  of the  Crestwood  Facilities.
Pursuant  to this  transaction,  IHS had  agreed  to  loan  Crestwood  up to $11
million, including a $7 million line of credit. IHS was granted purchase options
whereby  it had the  option  upon  expiration  of its  management  agreement  to
purchase certain partnership interests of the partnerships which owned 19 of the
23  Crestwood  Facilities.  If IHS  elected to purchase  Crestwood  prior to the
expiration  of the  management  agreement,  it was  obligated to pay Crestwood a
break-up fee of $6 million.  The Company was obligated to purchase  Crestwood if
it elected to purchase the partnership  interests of the partnerships  which own
the   Crestwood   Facilities.   IHS  paid  the   stockholders   of  Crestwood  a
non-refundable  purchase  option  deposit  consisting  of $3 million in cash and
168,067  shares of IHS Common Stock.  This agreement was terminated in 1995 and,
as a result, the Company incurred a loss of $21.915 million.

     In February 1994, the Company entered into management agreements to manage,
on an interim basis, eight geriatric care facilities, aggregating 1,174 beds, in
Delaware,  Massachusetts,  New Jersey and  Pennsylvania  previously  operated by
IFIDA Health Care Group Ltd.  ("IFIDA").  Upon the earlier of the  completion by
the owners of the eight facilities of the refinancing of certain debt or May 18,
1995, IHS was obligated to lease and operate these  facilities,  and was granted
an option to purchase any or all

                                       34

<PAGE>

of these facilities.  Five of these facilities were  subsequently  leased by the
Company in July 1994 and one management  agreement for a facility was terminated
in August 1994.  The remaining two  facilities  were leased in 1995.  The annual
lease payments for these facilities  currently total $4.9 million.  The purchase
price per  facility  is equal to the  greater  of its fair  market  value or its
allocable percentage (as agreed to by the parties) of $59.5 million ($57 million
if the option is exercised prior to the seventh year of the lease).  The Company
has to date made purchase option deposits  aggregating $6.5 million with respect
to  these  facilities,  and is  obligated  to make  additional  purchase  option
deposits aggregating $500,000 during each year of the agreement.  IHS has agreed
to loan the owners of the eight  facilities  an  aggregate of up to $3.5 million
for working capital  purposes,  and issued to the owners of the eight facilities
an aggregate of 90,000 shares of Common Stock.

     In May 1994,  the  Company  sold its 49%  interest  in two  separate  joint
ventures formed with Sunrise  Terrace,  Inc.  ("Sunrise") to develop and operate
two  assisted  living  facilities.  Each  facility was to be managed by Sunrise;
Sunrise  had a 51%  interest  in, and the  Company  had a 49%  interest  in, the
venture's  capital,  earnings and losses.  Sunrise had an option to purchase the
Company's interest in either venture at any time, and the Company had a right to
require  Sunrise to purchase the  Company's  interest in the  Fairfax,  Virginia
venture.  The assisted  living  facility in Fairfax,  Virginia opened in October
1990; the second  facility was being  constructed in Bound Brook,  New Jersey at
the time of sale.

     In May 1990, a wholly owned subsidiary of IHS, Integrated of Amarillo, Inc.
("IAI"), purchased a geriatric care facility in Amarillo, Texas, and contributed
the  facility to a joint  venture in exchange for a 49%  interest  therein.  The
Company managed the facility, for which it received a management fee equal to 6%
of gross revenues.  The venturers shared in the venture's capital,  earnings and
losses in accordance with their respective  interests in the venture except that
net taxable operating losses were borne 100% by the other venturer. In September
1994, the Company purchased the remaining 51% interest in this joint venture.

     As of August 31,  1994 the Company  entered  into a  Facilities  Agreement,
Lease Agreement and certain other  agreements with Litchfield  Asset  Management
Corp.  ("LAM")  pursuant to which it leased,  effective  September 1, 1994, on a
triple net basis, 43 geriatric care facilities (consisting of 41 skilled nursing
facilities and two  retirement  centers),  including two  facilities  previously
leased  and  two  facilities  previously  managed  by the  Company  (the  "LPIMC
Facilities"),  aggregating  approximately  5,400 beds located in 12 states.  The
Company and Litchfield Investment Company, L.L.C., the successor to LAM ("LIC"),
subsequently  amended and restated these agreements  effective  October 1, 1997.
The Company's  current  annual lease payments are  approximately  $13.7 million,
based upon the annual debt service of monies  borrowed by LIC to  refinance  the
LPIMC  Facilities.  In addition,  the Company  made  refundable  lease  deposits
aggregating $37.4 million,  and will make additional  refundable deposits during
the initial term  (including  any extension  thereof) of the leases  aggregating
approximately  $4 million per annum.  Rent  payments  are subject to  escalation
commencing  October 1998 in an amount equal to two percent (three percent if the
Company elects to pay such increase in shares of the Company's  Common Stock) of
the net annual incremental  revenues of the LPIMC Facilities (subject to certain
maximums).  The leases have initial terms of eleven years, subject to renewal by
the  Company  for one  additional  period of seven  years  and three  additional
periods of five years each, and the Company has  guaranteed all lease  payments.
The Company has also received options to purchase each of the LPIMC  Facilities,
at any time after nine months prior to the end of the fourth  lease year,  for a
purchase  price that will  represent  (i) during the fourth  through tenth years
following the lease commencement date, such facility's  allocable  percentage of
the total amount of $343 million (to be increased  annually after the fifth year
by the rate of increase in the consumer  price index) and (ii)  beginning in the
twelfth year  following  the lease  commencement  date,  the greater of (a) fair
market value,  (b) 125% of the release cost of the monies  borrowed by LIC which
are  applicable  to such facility or (c) five times the  contribution  margin of
such facility.  The Company loaned LIC's principal  stockholders an aggregate of
$3 million.  In addition,  the Company  issued LAM warrants to purchase  300,000
shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise  price of $31.33 per share,
and has granted LAM "piggy-back"  registration rights with respect to the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants.  The Company has agreed
to issue up to an  additional  50,000  shares of Common  Stock if the leases are
terminated  prior to October 1, 2006.  The agreement  with LAM requires that the
Company meet certain financial tests. IHS

                                       35

has sublet three of these facilities, two to Integrated Living Communities, Inc.
("ILC"), formerly the Company's wholly-owned assisted living services subsidiary
and one to Peak Medical, Inc.

     In September 1994, the Company entered into a management agreement with All
Seasons to manage six  geriatric  care  facilities  with 872 beds located in the
State of Washington.  During the fourth  quarter of 1996 the Company  terminated
its management  contract with All Seasons.  As a result of the termination,  the
Company incurred a $7.8 million loss on the termination.

     In February 1995, the Company entered into a management agreement to manage
a 190 bed geriatric care facility located in Aurora, Colorado.

     In March 1995, the Company entered into a management agreement to manage 34
geriatric care facilities in Texas, California,  Florida, Nevada and Mississippi
(the "Preferred Care Facilities"), of which three have been purchased by IHS and
19 have been  terminated.  The management  agreement has a term of ten years and
provides for payments to the Company based upon a percentage  of adjusted  gross
revenues  and  adjusted  earnings  before  interest,   taxes,  depreciation  and
amortization of the Preferred Care Facilities. The Company has also been granted
an option to purchase the Preferred Care Facilities,  between March 29, 1996 and
the date of the termination of the management agreement,  for $80 million net of
purchase  option deposits plus  adjustments for inflation.  The Company has paid
non-refundable purchase option deposits of $11.9 million and refundable purchase
option deposits of $9.0 million which will be applied against the purchase price
if the Company elects to acquire the facilities.

     During 1995, the Company  purchased five geriatric care  facilities (two of
which were previously leased). Also, the Company leased three facilities, all of
which  were  previously  managed.  The  total  cost of  these  acquisitions  was
approximately $30.6 million,  which includes legal fees and other costs incurred
to secure the facilities or leasehold interests in the facilities.

     During  1995,  the Company  continued to expand its MSU focus by opening 31
MSU programs totalling 691 beds (including two MSU programs totalling 63 beds at

17 beds at managed facilities).

     In January  1996,  the  Company  entered  into  agreements  to manage  four

     In January 1996, the Company  purchased  Vintage Health Care Center,  a 110
bed  skilled  nursing and  assisted  living  facility in Denton,  Texas for $6.9
million. A condominium interest in the assisted living portion of this facility,

and West Palm Beach  facilities,  were transferred as a capital  contribution to
ILC in June 1996.

in ILC in July 1997. See "-- Divestitures."

     In  December  1996,  the Company  sold its  Palestine  facility  located in
Palestine, Texas. Total proceeds from the sale were $1.3 million.

and subsequent  merger,  Community Care of America,  Inc. ("CCA") for a purchase
price of  approximately  $34.3 million in cash. In addition,  in connection with
the CCA  Acquisition  IHS repaid  approximately  $58.5  million of  indebtedness
assumed in the CCA Acquisition  (including  restructuring  fees of $4.9 million)
and assumed

                                       36

and assumed approximately $91 million in debt. IHS disposed of the institutional
pharmacy business in August 1998.

     During 1997,  the Company  extended  existing MSU programs by 185 beds, but
did not open any new MSU programs.

     In January  1998,  IHS formed  Lyric  Health Care LLC, a limited  liability
company  ("Lyric"),  and  transferred  five geriatric care  facilities to Lyric,
which  then  sold  the  five  facilities  to Omega  Healthcare  Investors,  Inc.
("Omega"),  a  publicly-traded  real estate  investment trust, for approximately
$44.5 million. Lyric immediately leased back the five facilities from Omega. IHS
manages  the  facilities  for Lyric,  pursuant  to which it  receives  4% of the
facilities'  revenues as well as an incentive fee equal to 70% of Lyric's excess
cash flow (which is generally  defined as Lyric's gross  revenues less operating
expenses  including the base management fee and rent). In a related  transaction
Lyric  in  February  1998  sold a 50%  membership  interest  to  TFN  Healthcare
Investors, Inc. ("TFN Healthcare"), an entity controlled by Timothy Nicholson, a
director  of the  Company,  for $1.0  million.  As a result,  IHS now owns a 50%
interest in Lyric. Mr. Nicholson is the Managing  Director of Lyric. The Company
recorded a $2.5 million loss on the sale of these facilities in 1997.

shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     In June 1998, the Company merged with Premiere  Associates,  an operator of
27 leased and one owned skilled nursing  facilities in Georgia and Florida and a

The merger consideration was $50.8 million,  which was paid through the issuance
of 800,561  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock,  a note  payable  for $15.0
million and a cash payment of $6.5 million.

     In October 1998, the Company leased a 114 bed skilled nursing facility, and
in November  1998,  the Company  purchased  the assets of Oakwood  Manor Nursing
Center, Inc., a skilled nursing facility, for $5.8 million.

     Effective   January  1,  1999,   the  Company  and  various   wholly  owned
subsidiaries  of the Company (the "Lyric  Subsidiaries")  sold 27 long-term care
facilities  and five  specialty  hospitals to Monarch  Properties,  LP ("Monarch
LP"), a newly formed private company,  for  approximately  $131.2 million in net
cash  proceeds  plus  contingent  earn-out  payments of up to a maximum of $67.6
million. The contingent earn-out payments will be paid to the Company by Monarch
LP upon a sale, transfer or refinancing of any or all of the facilities

                                       37

<PAGE>

or upon a sale,  consolidation  or merger of Monarch  LP, with the amount of the
earn-out  payments  determined  in  accordance  with a formula  described in the
Facilities  Purchase  Agreement among the Company,  the Lyric  Subsidiaries  and
Monarch LP. Dr. Robert N. Elkins, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company,  beneficially  owns 28.6% of Monarch LP and is the
Chairman of the Board of Managers of Monarch Properties, LLP, the parent company
of Monarch  LP.  After the sale of the  facilities  to Monarch  LP, the  Company
retained the working capital of the Lyric subsidiaries and transferred the stock
of each of the Lyric  Subsidiaries  to Lyric.  Monarch LP then leased all of the
facilities back to the Lyric  Subsidiaries  under a long-term  master lease. The
Company is managing these  facilities for Lyric pursuant to the  above-described
agreements  with Lyric.  The Company has  accounted for the sale to Monarch as a
financing.

this facility to a subsidiary of Lyric, which the Company is currently managing.
The Company has accounted for the sale to Monarch as a financing.

     Service Provider Acquisitions

     During 1993,  the Company  began to implement its strategy of expanding the
range of related  services it offers  directly to its patients in order to serve
the full spectrum of patient needs following acute hospitalization. As a result,
the Company is now able to offer  directly to its patients,  rather than through
third-party  providers,   home  respiratory  care,   rehabilitation   (physical,
occupational and speech),  lithotripsy,  and mobile x-ray and  electrocardiogram
and similar services.

     In June 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  stock of Patient
Care Pharmacy, Inc. ("PCP"), a California corporation engaged in the business of
providing  pharmacy  services to geriatric care facilities and other  healthcare
providers in Southern  California.  The Company  combined the  operations of PCP
with  CPL's  pharmacy  operations.  The  total  cost for PCP was  $10.4  million
including  $9.84  million  representing  the  issuance of 425,674  shares of the
Company's  Common Stock. In addition,  the Company had agreed to make contingent
payments in the shares of the Company's  Common Stock following each of the next
three  years based upon the  earnings of PCP. On March 3, 1995,  the Company and
the  PCP   stockholders   terminated  all  rights  to  contingent   payments  in
consideration  for a payment of $3.5 million in the form of 92,434 shares of IHS
Common Stock. IHS sold this business in July 1996. See "-- Divestitures."

     In July 1993,  Comprehensive Post Acute Services,  Inc.  ("CPAS"),  a newly
formed  subsidiary 80% owned by the Company and 20% owned by Chi Systems,  Inc.,
formerly Chi Group,  Inc.  ("Chi"),  acquired  joint  ventures and  contracts to
develop and manage  subacute  programs from Chi. Chi is a healthcare  consulting
company in which John  Silverman,  a director of the Company,  is President  and
Chief Financial Officer and an approximately 16% stockholder. The purchase price
was  $200,000  and IHS had made  available a loan  commitment  of  $300,000  for
working capital purposes, which loan bore interest at a rate equal to Citicorp's
base rate plus four  percent.  As of July 21, 1994,  the Company  purchased  the
remaining  20% of CPAS from Chi for 5,200  shares of IHS Common  Stock valued at
$159,900. In connection with this transaction, the Company engaged Chi to act as
consultant with respect to the Company's transitional care units. The consulting
agreement,  which expired June 30, 1997, provided for the payment, in four equal
installments, of a $100,000 annual consulting fee.

     In October 1993, the Company acquired,  effective as of September 30, 1993,
Health Care Systems,  Inc., which owns Health Care Consulting,  Inc. ("HCC") and

five-year  earnout,  up to a maximum of $3.75 million based upon  achievement of
pre-tax  earnings  targets.  HCC is a  specialty  reimbursement  and  consulting
company with expertise in subacute rehabilitation  programs. RMI provides direct
therapy services,  including physical therapy,  occupational  therapy and speech
pathology, to healthcare facilities. RMI also provides

                                       38

payment,  also  payable  in shares of Common  Stock,  based  upon  increases  in
Achievement's earnings in 1994, 1995 and 1996 over a base amount. The total cost
was  applied  primarily  to  intangible  assets.  The final  earn-out  amount of
approximately  $26.44  million was paid in March 1997  through  the  issuance of
976,504 shares of IHS Common Stock.

prospectively  determined  rate  methodology,  in whole  or in part,  or (ii) in
respect  of any  year  the  percentage  increase  in the  seasonally  unadjusted
Consumer  Price Index for all Urban  Consumers for the Medical Care  expenditure
category  (the  "Medical  CPI") was less than 8% or, even if the Medical CPI was
greater  than 8% in  such  year,  in any  subsequent  year  prior  to  2004  the
percentage  increase  in the  Medical  CPI was less  than 8%. As a result of the
enactment  of the  Balanced  Budget  Act in  August  1997,  which  required  the
implementation  of a  prospective  payment  system  for  home  nursing  services
starting  with  cost  reporting   periods   beginning   after  October  1,  1999
(subsequently  delayed to October  1,  2000),  the  contingent  payments  became
payable and will be paid as follows: $10 million for 1999, which must be paid on
or before  February  14,  2000;  $40 million for 2000,  which must be paid on or
before February 14, 2001; $51 million for 2001,  which must be paid on or before
February  14,  2002;  $39  million  for  2002,  which  must be paid on or before
February  14,  2003;  and $15 million for 2003,  which must be paid on or before
February 14, 2004.  IHS  borrowed  the cash  purchase  price paid at the closing
under its revolving credit facility.  $115 million of the $154.1 million paid at
closing  was paid to HCFA,  the  Department  of Justice  and the  United  States
Attorney for the  Southern  District of Georgia in  settlement  of claims by the
United  States  government  seeking  repayment  from First  American  of certain
overpayments and unallowable reimbursements under Medicare. The total settlement
with the United States  government was $255 million;  the remaining $140 million
will be paid from the contingent  payments.  IHS  discontinued  its home nursing
business in 1998 and  subsequently  disposed of this  business in 1999.  See "--

     Divestitures

Company. The sale involved all customer lists, license agreements, store leases,

Audiology  Division's  products  and  services,  which were offered at 34 retail
outlets  (of which 12 were  located  in  speech  pathologist/professional/doctor
offices)  in  Florida  and  Illinois,  included  hearing  aids,  protective  and
assistive  listening  devices,  and  hearing,  testing and aural  rehabilitation
services.  The Company received $5 million for  substantially  all the assets of
the  Audiology  Division as  follows:  $1 million in cash and a  combination  of
common and  preferred  stock  valued by  independent  financial  advisors  at $4
million. The common stock was repurchased for $2.6 million plus interest in July
1996 and the preferred stock is convertible  under certain  conditions and has a
liquidation  preference  of $2  million.  Approximately  $450,000  of  the  cash
proceeds were paid to NovaCare, Inc., an affiliate of Foster Management Company,
representing  amounts owed by IHS to NovaCare,  Inc. for services rendered.  The
Company determined to discontinue the audiology business in June 1990 because it
could not be integrated  effectively  into its primary  business.  A substantial
portion of the  audiology  business had been  acquired from Dr. Thomas F. Frist,
Jr., who was a director of the Company until June 1993.

     On April 27,  1994,  the  Company  sold its  approximate  92%  interest  in
Professional Community Management International, Inc. ("PCM") to PCM at its book
value of $4.3  million.  The  Company  accepted a  promissory  note for the full
amount of the  purchase  price,  which bears  interest at 6.36% per annum and is
payable by PCM in  installments  over a 40 year period.  The promissory  note is
secured by a pledge of PCM stock held by certain PCM stockholders and a security
interest in all tangible and intangible  assets of PCM. Certain  stockholders of
PCM also  executed  personal  guarantees  with  respect  to the  payment of $1.2
million  over a period of six years,  subject to reduction in an amount equal to
the  amortization of the principal  amount of the note. PCM manages  residential
condominium units in retirement communities in Southern California.

     In July 1996, IHS sold its pharmacy division to Capstone Pharmacy Services,
Inc.  ("Capstone")  for a purchase price of $150 million,  consisting of cash of
$125 million and shares of Capstone  common stock having a value of $25 million.
In connection with the sale of the pharmacy  division,  IHS agreed that prior to
July 2001 neither it nor any of its subsidiaries would be involved,  directly or
indirectly,  in the  operation,  management  or  conduct  of any  business  that
provides  institutional  pharmacy dispensing or consulting services to long-term
care facilities (including skilled nursing facilities) located within a 150 mile
radius of any IHS  long-term  care facility or any pharmacy sold to, or operated
by, Capstone,  except in certain limited  circumstances.  The Company's pharmacy
division operated institutional  pharmacies in eight states providing service to
over 40,000 beds within 379 facilities.  Approximately 17% of the beds were then
owned,  leased or managed by IHS. IHS' revenues for the year ended  December 31,
1996 included revenue generated by the pharmacy division of approximately  $63.6
million (of which $11.3  million was revenue from  services to IHS  facilities).
The Company's  earnings before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996
included  earnings  before  income taxes  generated by the pharmacy  division of
approximately $6.4 million.

     On  October  9,  1996,  Integrated Living Communities, Inc. ("ILC"), at the

related  services to the private pay elderly market, completed an initial public
offering  of  ILC common stock. IHS sold 1,400,000 shares of ILC common stock in
the  offering,  for  which  it  received aggregate net proceeds of approximately
$10.4 million. In

                                       44

<PAGE>

addition,  ILC used approximately $7.4 million of the proceeds from the offering
to repay  outstanding  indebtedness  to IHS.  IHS  recorded  a  pre-tax  loss of
approximately  $8.5  million in the  fourth  quarter of 1996 as a result of this
transaction.  On July 2, 1997,  IHS sold the remaining  2,497,900  shares of ILC
common stock it owned,  representing  37.3% of the outstanding ILC common stock,
for $11.50 per share in a cash tender  offer (the "ILC  Sale").  IHS  recorded a
gain of approximately  $3.9 million from the ILC Sale in 1997. IHS' revenues for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1996  included  revenue  generated  by  ILC  of
approximately  $17.1 million.  The Company's earnings (loss) before income taxes
for the year ended  December  31, 1996  included  earnings  before  income taxes
generated by ILC of approximately $1.7 million.

     In February 1998,  the Company sold its  outpatient  clinics to Continucare
Rehabilitation  Services,  Inc. for $10.0 million.  During the fourth quarter of
1997,  the  Company  wrote  down its  basis  in its  outpatient  clinics  to net
realizable  value.  Accordingly,  no gain or loss was  recognized by the Company
during the first quarter of 1998.

     In the first half of 1998 the Company sold ten  facilities to Omega,  which
leased such facilities to Lyric,  which is 50% owned by IHS. The Company manages
these facilities for Lyric. See "-- Acquisitions -- Facility Expansion."

     In  June  1998,  the  Company  sold  11  long-term   care   facilities  for
approximately $56.7 million, which approximated the Company's basis. The Company
recognized no gain or loss on the transaction.

     In July 1998,  the Company  sold four of its  facilities  held for sale for
approximately  $1.0  million.  The  Company  recognized  no  gain or loss on the
transaction.

     In August 1998,  the Company sold  portions of its  institutional  pharmacy
division,  which was acquired by IHS as part of the Horizon/CMS  assets acquired
from  HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation in December 1997. The Company recorded no gain or
loss on the transaction.

     Effective  January 1, 1999,  the Company sold 27 facilities and 5 specialty
hospitals to Monarch,  which leased such  facilities  to Lyric.  The Company has
accounted for the sale as a financing.  The Company manages these facilities for
Lyric. See "-- Acquisitions -- Facility Expansion."

     In the first half of 1999,  the Company  sold its  remaining  assets of the
home health nursing segment to Medshares/IHS Acquisition,  Inc., an affiliate of
Medshares, Inc., for cash of $26.3 million. The Company had previously adopted a
plan of disposition for this business segment and recorded a $204.9 million loss
(net of tax benefit) from  discontinued  operations in 1998. The results of such
transaction are included in the 1998 loss from discontinued operations.

     In September  1999,  the Company  sold its  Jacksonville,  Florida  nursing
facility to Monarch LP for net proceeds of $3.7 million.  Monarch LP then leased
this facility to a subsidiary of Lyric, which the Company is currently managing.
The Company has accounted for the sale as a financing.

     On  October  1,  1999  the  Company  sold  its  infusion  division  to  APS
Enterprises Holding Company ("APS") for a purchase price of $17.35 million and a
20% equity interest in APS valued at one dollar. The Company had determined that
the business was significantly impaired due to a decreasing demand for the goods
and services  offered,  and it was in the  Company's  best  interest to sell the
division.  As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a pretax loss of $383.8
million.

     In  December  1999,  the  Company  sold  its  West Broward, Florida nursing
facility  to  Nationwide  Senior  Healthcare, Inc. for $3.1 million. The Company
did not record a gain or loss on this transaction.

     In developing its post-acute healthcare system, IHS continuously  evaluates
whether  owning  and  operating   businesses  which  provide  certain  ancillary
services,  or  contracting  with  third  parties  for  such  services,  is  more
cost-effective. As a result, the Company is continuously evaluating its existing
operations to determine whether to retain or divest operations. To date, IHS has
divested  its  pharmacy,  assisted  living  services,  home nursing and infusion
divisions, and may divest additional divisions or assets in the future.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

     The Company's 1999 results of operations were substantially affected by the
implementation  of the prospective  payment system for Medicare  skilled nursing
facilities,  which was  completed for IHS'  facilities on June 1, 1999.  The per
diem reimbursement  rates under PPS were significantly lower than anticipated by
the  industry,  and  generally  have  been less than the  amount  the  Company's
facilities received on a daily basis under cost-based  reimbursement.  Moreover,
since  IHS  treats a greater  percentage  of higher  acuity  patients  than many
nursing  facilities,  IHS has also been adversely affected because the federally
established  per diem rates do not  adequately  compensate  the  Company for the
additional expenses of caring for such patients. In addition, the implementation
of PPS has  resulted  in a greater  than  expected  decline  in  demand  for the
Company's therapy services .

     Net  revenues  for the year  ended  December  31,  1999  decreased  $412.89
million,  or 13.9% to $2.6  billion  from the  comparable  period in 1998.  Such
decrease was attributable to (i) $264.35 million from inpatient services,  which
includes inpatient facilities, contract services and management and other, which
were in operations in both periods,  as well as, inpatient  services disposed of
in 1999 of $245.32  million and (ii) $28.08  million  from  diagnostic  services
companies,  which  were in  operations  in both  periods,  offset by (iii) a net
increase of $18.41 million from home respiratory/infusion/DME companies, which

                                       46

<PAGE>

were in operations in both periods and home  respiratory/infusion/DME  companies
acquired during 1998 reduced by services disposed of in 1999, (as well as $19.43
million  from the sale of the infusion  division),  and (iv) an increase of $1.3
million from lithotripsy services,  which were in operations in both periods and
lithotripsy  services acquired in 1998.  Increases in business segments revenues
resulting  from 1999  acquisitions  are as  follows:  (i) $107.70  million  from
inpatient services, (ii) $14.85 million from home respiratory/infusion/DME,  and
(iii) $2.03 million from lithotripsy services.

     Operating,  general and  administrative  expense (including rent) decreased
$182.57  million or 7.8%,  from the year ended December 31, 1998.  Such decrease
was attributable to (i) $76.32 million from inpatient  services,  which includes
inpatient facilities,  contract services and management and other, which were in
operations in both periods, as well as inpatient services disposed of in 1999 of
$215.26  million,  (ii) $5.9 million  from  Diagnostic  services,  which were in
operations in both periods, offset by (iii) a net increase of $28.1 million from
home  respiratory/infusion/DME  companies,  which  were  in  operations  in both
periods and home respiratory/infusion/DME  companies acquired in 1998 reduced by
services  disposed of in 1999,  (as well as $18.3  million  from the sale of the
infusion  division),  and (iv) an increase  of $2.48  million  from  lithotripsy
services,  which were in  operations  in both periods and  lithotripsy  services
acquired in 1998.  Increases in business  segment  expenses  resulting from 1999
acquisitions are as follows:  (i) $91.03 million from inpatient  services,  (ii)
$10.85  million  from home  respiratory/infusion/DME,  and (iii)  $752,000  from
lithotripsy services.

     Depreciation and amortization  increased to $193.20 million during the year
ended  December  31, 1999,  a 23.3%  increase as compared to $156.72  million in
1998. Of the $36.5 million increase,  $2.34 million,  or 6.41%, was attributable
to depreciation and  amortization of businesses  acquired in 1999. The remaining
increase was  primarily due to the Company  changing the  estimated  life of its
goodwill from 40 to 15-20 years,  and depreciation and amortization of inpatient
services and home respiratory companies acquired during 1998.

     Net interest expense  increased $82.28 million,  or 34.5%,  during the year
ended  December 31, 1999 to $320.92  million.  The increase  was  primarily  the
result of increased  borrowings  and higher  interest  rates under the revolving
credit facility.

     During 1999, the Company  recorded  non-recurring  charges of $2.08 billion
consisting  primarily of: (i) a loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $1.64
billion,  which applied to the  following  business  segments:  nursing/subacute
facilities   ($951.31  million),   rehabilitative   therapy  ($402.06  million),
respiratory   therapy  ($26.20  million)   diagnostic   ($143.42   million)  and
lithotripsy  ($118.51 million);  (ii) a loss of $383.85 million from its sale of
its infusion  business;  (iii) a loss of $21.75  million in connection  with the
closure of certain  diagnostic  operations;  (iv) a loss of $10.87  million from
abandoned and terminated computer systems; (v) a loss of $7.02 million resulting
from  the  termination  of its  proposed  sale of  RoTech;  (vi) a loss of $9.20
million from the  settlement  of notes  receivable,  and (vii) $2.17  million of
other charges.

     The  Company  is  a  defendant  in  certain   actions  or  the  subject  of
investigations  concerning  alleged  violations  of the False  Claims  Act or of
Medicare regulations. As a result of the Company's financial position during the
fourth quarter of 1999, various agencies of the federal  government  accelerated
efforts to reach a resolution of all  outstanding  claims and issues  related to
the Company's  alleged  violation of healthcare  statutes and related  causes of
action.  These matters involve various government  claims,  many of which are of
unspecified  amounts.  Because the government's  review of these matters has not
been  completed,  management  is  unable  to  assess  fully  the  merits  of the
government's  monetary  claims.  Based  on  a  preliminary   evaluation  of  the
government's  estimable claims for which an unfavorable outcome is probable, the
Company  recorded  a $39.5  million  accrued  liability  for such  claims  as of
December 31, 1999.  However,  the ultimate amount of any future settlement could
differ significantly from such provision.

     The Company  incurred  $8.30 million of legal,  accounting,  consulting and
other fees in 1999 in connection with the Company's financial reorganization.

     Earnings   (loss)  from   continuing   operations   before   income  taxes,
extraordinary  items and the cumulative effect of accounting change decreased by
1,065.2% to a loss of $2.24  billion for the year ended  December  31, 1999 from
earnings of $232.02 million for the comparable period in 1998. The increase

                                       47

<PAGE>

was primarily due to certain  non-recurring  charges discussed above.  Excluding
the non-recurring  charges,  earnings (loss) before income taxes,  extraordinary
items and the cumulative  effect of accounting  change in 1999 decreased $395.05
million,  or 170.3%, from 1998. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in
therapy services in the Company's  contract  rehabilitation  division within the
long term care  division  and a decrease in the  Company's  rates for  inpatient
services as a result of the  implementation  of a Balanced  Budget Act  mandated
prospective  payment system (PPS) for the Company's  nursing  facilities  during
1999.  The  provision for Federal and state income taxes  decreased  from $95.13
million in 1998 to $9.76 million in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result
of the non-recurring charge in 1999 and lower operating income.

     In  October  1998,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  adopted  a plan to
discontinue  operations of the home health  nursing  segment.  Accordingly,  the
operating  results  of the  home  nursing  segment  have  been  segregated  from
continuing  operations  and reported as a separate line item on the statement of
operations  in  1998.  The  operating  loss  through  September  30,  1998  (the
measurement  date) was $35.90  million,  net of the income tax  benefit of $26.0
million.  The loss on the  disposal  of assets,  including  estimated  loss from
measurement  date through the expected  disposal date (June 30, 1999) is $168.97
million, net of the income tax benefit of $57.3 million.

     Net loss and diluted loss per share for 1999 were $2.24  billion and $44.87
per share,  respectively,  compared to net loss and  diluted  loss per share for
1998 of $67.98  million  and $1.08 per share,  respectively.  During  1998,  the
Company incurred a $204.87 million loss from discontinued  operations.  Weighted
average  shares  decreased  from  56,257,000  (diluted)  in 1998  to  49,924,000
(diluted) in 1999. The weighted  average shares decreased in 1999 since dilutive
securities were excluded because the effect is antidilutive.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

     The Company's 1998 results of operations were substantially affected by the
acquisition of 126 owned,  leased or managed  facilities  (excluding  facilities
subsequently  sold),  12 specialty  hospitals  and a contract  therapy  business
having over 1,000 contracts  acquired from  HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation on December
31, 1997 (the "Facility Acquisition"), the October 1997 acquisition of RoTech in
October 1997, a home  respiratory  home medical  equipment and infusion  therapy
company, and the Company's discontinuance of its home health nursing business in
the third quarter of 1998.

     Net  revenues  for the year ended  December  31, 1998  increased  $1,569.56
million,  or 111.9%,  to $2,972.19  million from the comparable  period in 1997.
Such increase was  attributable to (i) $985.72 million from inpatient  services,
which includes inpatient facilities, contract services and management and other,
which  were in  operations  in both  periods,  as well  as,  inpatient  services
acquired during 1997,  including  certain business from  HEALTHSOUTH  which were
acquired   on   December   31,   1997,    (ii)   $467.86   million   from   home
respiratory/infusion/DME   companies   operating   in  both   periods  and  home
respiratory/infusion/DME companies acquired during 1997, including RoTech, which
was acquired in October 1997,  (iii) $4.81 million from  diagnostic  services in
operation  during  1997 and 1998,  as well as,  diagnostic  services  companies,
acquired in 1997, and (iv) $34.04 million from lithotripsy  services  businesses
acquired in 1997, which includes the Coram Lithotripsy Acquisition. Increases in
business segments revenue  resulting from 1998 acquisitions are as follows:  (i)
$28.78  million  from  inpatient   services,   (ii)  $40.45  million  from  home
respiratory/infusion/DME, and (iii) $7.90 million from lithotripsy services.

     Operating,  general and  administrative  expense (including rent) increased
$1,252.71  million  or 114.7%,  from the year  ended  December  31,  1997.  Such
increase was attributable to (i) $833.40 million from inpatient services,  which
includes inpatient facilities, contract services and management and other, which
were in  operations in both periods,  as well as inpatient  services  businesses
acquired during 1997,  including certain businesses acquired from HEALTHSOUTH on
December 31,  1997,  (ii)  $357.54  million  from home  respiratory/infusion/DME
companies  acquired during 1997,  including RoTech acquired in October 1997, and
(iii) $18.32  million from  lithotripsy  services  businesses  acquired in 1997,
which includes the Coram Lithotripsy Acquisition.  Increases in business segment
expenses  resulting from 1998  acquisitions  are as follows:  (i) $12.89 million
from inpatient services, (ii) $29.06 million from home respiratory/ infusion/DME
and (iii) $5.02 million from lithotripsy services.

                                       48

<PAGE>

     Depreciation and amortization  increased to $156.72 million during the year
ended  December  31, 1998,  a 179.1%  increase as compared to $56.16  million in
1997. Of the $100.56 million increase,  $4.59 million, or 4.6%, was attributable
to depreciation and  amortization of businesses  acquired in 1998. The remaining
increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization related to increased
routine and capital  expenditures at existing  facilities,  increased debt issue
costs  and  depreciation  and  amortization  of  inpatient   services  and  home
respiratory companies acquired during 1997.

     Net interest expense increased $143.77 million, or 151.5%,  during the year
ended  December 31, 1998 to $238.65  million.  The increase  was  primarily  the
result  of the full year  effect  of the $750  million  term  loan  borrowed  in
September 1997, the $400 million term loan borrowed in December 1997,  increased
borrowings   under  the  revolving   credit  facility  and  the  9  1/4%  Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2008 issued in September 1997.

     During 1997, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $123.46 million,
consisting  primarily of: a $27.55 million  non-recurring  charge resulting from
the  termination of its proposed  merger with Coram; a $7.58 million gain on the
sale of shares  received on the sale of the pharmacy  division;  a $3.91 million
gain on the sale of its remaining  interest in ILC; and a $4.75  million  charge
resulting from termination  payments in connection with the RoTech  acquisition.
In addition,  in connection  with the  acquisitions  of CCA,  RoTech,  the Coram
Lithotripsy Division and certain businesses from HEALTHSOUTH,  the Company chose
to dispose of certain  business  activities,  including the Company's  physician
practices,  outpatient  clinics and selected nursing  facilities in nonstrategic
markets,  as well as all  international  activities.  In  addition,  the Company
terminated  a national  purchasing  contract  and  wrote-off  a purchase  option
deposit on  certain  managed  facilities.  As a result  the  Company  recorded a
non-recurring charge of $103.41 million.

     Earnings from continuing  operations  before income taxes and extraordinary
items  increased  by 549.1% to $232.02  million for the year ended  December 31,
1998 from $35.75  million for the  comparable  period in 1997.  The increase was
primarily due to certain  non-recurring  charges discussed above.  Excluding the
non-recurring  charges,  earnings before income taxes and extraordinary items in
1998 increased  $72.82 million,  or 45.7%,  over 1997. Of this increase,  $24.06
million, or 33.0%, resulted from acquisitions consummated subsequent to December
31, 1997. The remaining increase was due to acquisitions consummated during 1997
(principally the Facility  Acquisition)  and improved  operations from inpatient
services and home respiratory  companies in operation  during both periods.  The
provision for state and federal  income taxes  increased  from $33.24 million in
1997 to $95.13  million in 1998.  This  increase was primarily the result of the
non-recurring charge in 1997.

     In  October  1998,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  adopted  a plan to
discontinue  operations of the home health  nursing  segment.  Accordingly,  the
operating  results  of the  home  nursing  segment  have  been  segregated  from
continuing  operations  and reported as a separate line item on the statement of
operations. The operating loss through September 30, 1998 (the measurement date)
was $35.90 million,  net of the income tax benefit of $26.0 million. The loss on
the disposal of assets,  including  estimated loss from measurement date through
the expected disposal date (June 30, 1999) is $168.97 million, net of the income
tax benefit of $57.3 million.  The Company has  reclassified its prior financial
statements to present the operating  results of the home health nursing  segment
as a discontinued operation.

     Net loss and diluted loss per share for 1998 were $67.98  million and $1.08
per share,  respectively,  compared to net loss and  diluted  loss per share for
1997 of $33.5 million and $0.60 per share.  During 1998, the Company  incurred a
$204.87 million loss from discontinued operations, compared to $13.63 million in
1997.  During the year ended  December 31, 1997,  the Company  incurred a $20.55
million (net of tax  benefit),  or 53 cents per share  (diluted),  extraordinary
loss on the  extinguishment  of debt and  incurred a $1.83  million  (net of tax
benefit),  or 5 cents  per  share  (diluted),  loss on a  cumulative  effect  of
accounting  change  related  to the  Company's  adoption  of EITF  97-13,  which
required the Company to write-off the  unamortized  balance of costs of business
process  engineering  and  information   technology  projects.   There  were  no
extraordinary items or cummulative effect of accounting change in 1998. Weighted
average  shares  increased  from  38,899,000  (diluted)  in 1997  to  56,257,000
(diluted)  in  1998.  The  weighted   average  shares   increased   because  the
approximately 15.6 million shares issued in the RoTech

Acquisition  in October 1997 were  outstanding  for all of 1998 and in June 1998
$114.80  million  aggregate  principal  amount of the  Company's 6%  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures due 2003 were converted into approximately 3.57 million
shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On  February  2, 2000,  the Company  and  substantially  all its  operating
subsidiaries filed voluntary  petitions for  reorganization  under Chapter 11 of
the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code with the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court for the  District of
Delaware  (the  "Bankruptcy   Court")  (case  nos.  00-00389  through  00-00825,
inclusive).   The   Company  is   currently   operating   its   business   as  a
debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.

     On February 3, 2000, the Company entered into a revolving  credit agreement
with Citicorp USA, Inc. and other lenders to provide the Company with up to $300
million in debtor-in-possession  financing (the "DIP Financing Agreement").  The
DIP Financing  Agreement provides for maximum borrowings by the Company equal to
the sum of (i) up to 85% of the  then  outstanding  domestic  eligible  accounts
receivable  (other than Medicaid  accounts  receivable),  (ii) the lesser of $40
million or 85% of eligible Medicaid accounts receivable, (iii) the lesser of $25
million and 40% of the orderly  liquidation value of eligible real estate,  (iv)
100% of cash and 95% of cash  equivalents  on  deposit  or held in the  Citibank
collateral  account  and (v)  the  adjusted  earnings  before  interest,  taxes,
amortization  and  depreciation  ("EBITDA")  of RoTech  for the two most  recent
fiscal  quarters  up to a maximum of $150  million  through  May 3,  2000,  $125
million from May 4, 2000 through August 2, 2000 and $100 million thereafter. The
DIP Financing Agreement  significantly limits IHS' ability to incur indebtedness
or contingent obligations,  to make additional acquisitions,  to sell or dispose
of assets, to create or incur liens on assets, to pay dividends, and to merge or
consolidate with any other person.  The obligations of the Company under the DIP
Financing  Agreement  are  jointly  and  severally  guaranteed  by  each  of the
Company's  filing  subsidiaries  (the  "Filing  Subsidiaries").  Pursuant to the
agreement,  the Company and each of its Filing  Subsidiaries have granted to the
lenders first priority lien and security interest (subject to valid,  perfected,
enforceable and nonavoidable  liens of record existing  immediately prior to the
petition date and other exceptions as described in the DIP Financing  Agreement)
in all of the  Company's  assets  including,  but not limited to, all  accounts,
chattel paper, contracts and documents, equipment, inventory,  intangibles, real
property,  bank  accounts  and  investment  property.  On  March  6,  2000,  the
Bankruptcy  Court granted final approval of the DIP Financing  Agreement.  As of
March 30, 2000, no amounts are  outstanding  under the DIP Financing  Agreement.
The DIP Financing Agreement matures on March 6, 2002.

     On February 2, 2000,  the Company  received  approval  from the  Bankruptcy
Court to pay pre-petition and post-petition employee wages,  salaries,  benefits
and other  employee  obligations.  The  Bankruptcy  Court also  approved  orders
granting  authority,  among other things, to pay pre-petition  claims of certain
critical   vendors  and  patient   obligations.   The  Company  intends  to  pay
post-petition  claims of all vendors and  providers  in the  ordinary  course of
business.

     Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness are
enjoined  and other  contractual  obligations  may not be  enforced  against the
Company.  In  addition,  the Company may reject  executory  contracts  and lease
obligations.  Parties  affected  by these  rejections  may file  claims with the
Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the reorganization  process.  If the Company
is able to successfully  reorganize,  substantially all unsecured liabilities as
of the  petition  date  would  be  subject  to  modification  under  a  plan  of
reorganization  to be voted upon by all impaired classes of creditors and equity
security holders and approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

     Due to the  failure to make  payments  and comply  with  certain  financial
covenants,  the  Company  is in  default  of  substantially  all  its  long-term
obligations.  These  obligations  are  classified as current  liabilities  as of
December 31, 1999.

     At December  31,  1999,  the  Company  had a net  working  deficit of $3.06
billion,  as compared with net working capital of $341.2 million at December 31,
1998. There are no material capital  commitments for capital  expenditures as of
the date of this filing. Patient accounts receivable and third-party payor

                                       50

settlements  receivable  decreased $66.56 million to $582.55 million at December
31, 1999, as compared to $649.11  million at December 31, 1998. The decrease was
primarily  attributable  to the  sale of the  infusion  business  unit,  exit of
certain diagnostic operations and reduced revenue resulting from lower rates for
the  Company's  inpatient  services  and  decreased  demand for  contract  rehab
services  provided to third  parties.  Gross  patient  accounts  receivable  was
$693.61  million at  December  31,  1999 as  compared  with  $735.17  million at
December 31, 1998.  Third-party  payor  settlements  receivable from Federal and
state governments (i.e., Medicare and Medicaid cost reports) were $82.54 million
at December 31, 1999 as compared to $103.76 million at December 31, 1998.

     All remaining  balance sheet  changes were  primarily due to  acquisitions,
divestitures and certain non-recurring charges.

     The Company has outstanding $496.7 million aggregate  principal amount of 9
1/4%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008  (the "9 1/4%  Senior  Notes"),  $450
million aggregate  principal amount of 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007
(the "9 1/2% Senior Notes"),  $144.0 million  aggregate  principal  amount of 10
1/4%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2006  (the "10 1/4%  Senior  Subordinated
Notes"),  $132,000 aggregate principal amount of other senior subordinated notes
and  $144.6  million  aggregate  principal  amount of  convertible  subordinated
debentures.  The  indentures  under which the 10 1/4% Senior  Notes,  the 9 1/2%
Senior Notes and the 9 1/4% Senior Notes were issued contain certain  covenants,
including,  but not limited to, covenants with respect to the following matters:
(i) limitations on additional  indebtedness  unless certain ratios are met; (ii)
limitations  on other  subordinated  debt;  (iii)  limitations  on  liens;  (iv)
limitations  on the  issuance  of  preferred  stock  by IHS'  subsidiaries;  (v)
limitations  on  transactions  with  affiliates;  (vi)  limitations  on  certain
payments,  including  dividends;  (vii)  application  of the proceeds of certain
asset sales; (viii) restrictions on mergers,  consolidations and the transfer of
all or  substantially  all of the  assets  of IHS to  another  person;  and (ix)
limitations on investments and loans.

     On September 15, 1997, the Company  entered into a $1.75 billion  revolving
credit and term loan facility with Citibank,  N.A., as Administrative Agent, and
certain other  lenders (the "New Credit  Facility") to replace its existing $700
million revolving credit facility.  The New Credit Facility  consisted of a $750
million term loan  facility  (the "Term  Facility")  and a $1 billion  revolving
credit facility, including a $100 million letter of credit subfacility and a $10
million swing line  subfacility (the "Revolving  Facility").  The Term Facility,
all of which was borrowed on September 17, 1997,  was to mature on September 30,
2004.  As of December 31, 1999,  $736.9  million was  outstanding  and was to be
amortized as follows:  each of 1999 (as to which three of the four payments were
made),  2000,  2001  and  2002 --  $7.5  million  (payable  in  equal  quarterly
installments); 2003 -- $337.5 million (payable in equal quarterly installments);
and 2004 -- $375.0 million (payable in equal quarterly installments). Any unpaid
balance will be due on the maturity  date. The Term Facility bears interest at a
rate equal to, at the option of IHS, either (i) in the case of Eurodollar loans,
the sum of (x) between one and three-quarters  percent or two percent (depending
on the ratio of the  Company's  Debt (as defined in the New Credit  Facility) to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,  amortization and rent, pro forma
for  any  acquisitions  or  divestitures  during  the  measurement  period  (the
"Debt/EBITDAR  Ratio")) and (y) the interest rate in the London interbank market
for loans in an amount  substantially  equal to the amount of borrowing  and for
the period of borrowing selected by IHS or (ii) the sum of (a) the higher of (1)
Citibank,  N.A.'s base rate or (2) one percent plus the latest overnight federal
funds  rate plus (b) a margin of  one-half  percent  or three  quarters  percent
(depending on the Debt/EBITDAR  Ratio).  The Term Facility can be prepaid at any
time in whole or in part without penalty.

     In connection with the acquisition of certain  businesses from HEALTHSOUTH,
IHS and the  lenders  under  the New  Credit  Facility  amended  the New  Credit
Facility to provide for an  additional  $400  million  term loan  facility  (the
"Additional  Term  Facility") to finance a portion of the purchase price for the
acquisition  and to amend certain  covenants to permit the  consummation  of the
acquisition.  The Additional Term Facility, which was borrowed at the closing of
the  acquisition,  matures on December 31, 2005.  As of December 31, 1999,  $393
million was oustanding  and was to be amortized as follows:  each of 1999 (as to
which  three of the four  payments  were made) 2000,  2001,  2002 and 2003 -- $4
million (payable in equal quarterly installments); 2004 -- $176 million (payable
in equal  quarterly  installments);  and 2005 -- $200 million  (payable in equal
quarterly  installments).  The Additional Term Facility bears interest at a rate
equal to, at the option of IHS, either (i) in the case of Eurodollar  loans, the
sum of (x) two and one quarter percent or two

                                       51

<PAGE>

and one half percent (depending on the Debt/EBITDAR  Ratio) and (y) the interest
rate in the London interbank market for loans in an amount  substantially  equal
to the amount of borrowing  and for the period of  borrowing  selected by IHS or
(ii) the sum of (a) the  higher  of (1)  Citibank,  N.A.'s  base rate or (2) one
percent plus the latest  overnight  federal  funds rate plus (b) a margin of one
percent or one and one-quarter  percent  (depending on the Debt/EBITDAR  Ratio).
The  Additional  Term  Facility  can be  prepaid at any time in whole or in part
without penalty.

     The  Revolving  Facility  was to reduce to $800 million on January 1, 2001,
$600 million on January 1, 2002,  $500  million on  September  30, 2002 and $400
million on January  1,  2003,  with a final  maturity  on  September  15,  2003;
however,  the $100 million  letter of credit  subfacility  and $10 million swing
line  subfacility  will remain at $100  million and $10  million,  respectively,
until final maturity.  The Revolving Facility bears interest at a rate equal to,
at the option of IHS, either (i) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x)
between two percent and two and  three-quarters  percent (depending on the Debt/
EBITDAR  Ratio) and (y) the  interest  rate in the London  interbank  market for
loans in an amount  substantially  equal to the amount of borrowing  and for the
period of  borrowing  selected  by IHS or (ii) the sum of (a) the  higher of (1)
Citibank,  N.A.'s base rate or (2) one percent plus the latest overnight federal
funds rate plus (b) a margin of between  three  quarters  of one percent and one
and one-half percent (depending on the Debt/EBITDAR Ratio). Amounts repaid under
the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed prior to the maturity date.

     The New  Credit  Facility  limits  IHS'  ability to incur  indebtedness  or
contingent obligations,  to make additional acquisitions,  to sell or dispose of
assets,  to create or incur liens on assets,  to pay dividends,  and to merge or
consolidate  with any other person and prohibits the repurchase of Common Stock.
In addition,  the New Credit Facility  requires that IHS meet certain  financial
ratios,  and  provides  the banks with the right to require  the  payment of all
amounts  outstanding under the facility,  and to terminate all commitments under
the facility, if there is a change in control of IHS or if any person other than
Dr. Robert N. Elkins,  IHS'  Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer,  or a group
managed by Dr. Elkins, owns more than 40% of IHS' stock. The New Credit Facility
is guaranteed by all of IHS' subsidiaries (other than inactive subsidiaries) and
secured  by a  pledge  of  all  of  the  stock  of  substantially  all  of  IHS'
subsidiaries.

     The New Credit  Facility  replaced the  Company's  $700  million  revolving
credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"). As a result, the Company recorded
an extraordinary  loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately  $2.39 million
(net of related tax benefit of approximately $1.52 million) in the third quarter
of 1997  resulting  from the  write-off  of  deferred  financing  costs of $3.91
million related to the Prior Credit Facility.

     Net cash used by operating activities was $37.18 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to net cash of $80.4 million provided by operating
activities  for the  comparable  period  in 1998.  Cash  was  used in  operating
activities for the year ended  December 31, 1999  primarily  because the Company
had incurred a net loss from continuing operations before non-recurring charges.

     Net cash provided by financing  activities was $247.83 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $249.57 million for the comparable period
in  1998.  In  both  periods,  the  Company  received  proceeds  from  long-term
borrowings.  In 1998 the Company  reissued  in  connection  with an  acquisition
347,700  shares  of  its  Common  Stock  in  treasury,  which  shares  had  been
repurchased during 1997. IHS also reissued 658,824 shares of its Common Stock in
treasury to fund its key employee supplemental executive retirement plans, which
shares were  repurchased in 1998. In 1998 IHS  repurchased  1,060,500  shares of
Common  Stock  for  approximately  $18.47  million.  In  1999,  IHS  repurchased
3,607,000 shares of its Common Stock for approximately $24.04 million, cancelled
the issuance of the 658,824 common shares to fund its key employee  supplemental
executive  retirement  plans and reissued and subsequently  cancelled  3,415,556
common  shares  of  treasury  stock in  connection  with its  employee  deferred
compensation  plan.  Also in 1999 the Company  amended  certain loan  agreements
which  resulted  in cash  used to pay  financing  costs of  approximately  $16.5
million as compared to $1.4 million in 1998.

     Net cash used by  investing  activities  was  $204.64  million for the year
ended  December  31,  1999 as  compared  to $259.64  million  for the year ended
December 31, 1998.  Cash used for the purchase of property,  plant and equipment
was $154.45  million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $222.27 million in
the

                                       52

<PAGE>

comparable period in fiscal 1998. Cash used for business acquisitions was $31.15
million for 1999 as compared to $206.93  million for 1998. The Company  received
$41.28 million from the  disposition of assets in 1999 and $175.81  million from
the disposition of assets in 1998.

     IHS'  contingent   liabilities   (other  than  liabilities  in  respect  of
litigation  and  the  contingent  payments  in  respect  to the  First  American
acquisition)  aggregated  approximately $108.72 million as of December 31, 1999.
IHS is required,  upon certain  defaults under the lease, to purchase its Orange
Hills  facility at a purchase price equal to the greater of $7.13 million or the
facility's fair market value. IHS has established  several  irrevocable  standby
letters of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia and other financial  institutions
totaling  $31.93 million at December 31, 1999 to secure certain of the Company's
self-insured  workers'  compensation  obligations,  health  benefits  and  other
obligations.  In addition,  IHS has several surety bonds in the amount of $69.68
million to secure certain of the Company's health benefits,  patient trust funds
and other obligations.  In addition, with respect to certain acquired businesses
IHS is obligated to make certain contingent payments if earnings of the acquired
business  increase or earnings targets are met. The Company is also obligated to
make contingent payments of $155 million in respect to IHS' acquisition of First
American, of which $131.65 million (representing its present value) was recorded
on the balance sheet at December 31, 1999.  The Company is obligated to purchase
the remaining  interests in its  lithotripsy  partnerships at a defined price in
the event  legislation is passed or  regulations  adopted that would prevent the
physician  partners  from owning an interest  in the  partnership  and using the
partnership's  lithotripsy  equipment  for the treatment of his or her patients.
See " -- Acquisition and Divestiture History -- Acquisitions." In addition,  IHS
has obligations under operating leases aggregating  approximately $998.4 million
at December 31, 1999.

     The  liquidity  of the  Company  will depend in large part on the timing of
payments by private third-party and governmental payors.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The Year 2000 problem (the "Year 2000  Problem" or "Year 2000") was to have
resulted from computer programs and devices that did not  differentiate  between
the year  1900 and the year 2000  because  they were  written  using two  digits
rather than four to define the applicable  year;  accordingly,  computer systems
that have time-sensitive  calculations  potentially would not properly recognize
the year 2000.  This could have resulted in system  failures or  miscalculations
causing disruptions of the Company's operations,  including, without limitation,
manufacturing,  distribution,  clinical development, research and other business
activities. The Year 2000 Problem potentially affected substantially all of IHS'
business  activities.  The  Company  believes  that as a result of its Year 2000
remediation  and planning  programs,  the Year 2000 Problem has not, as of March
15, 2000, had a material  adverse effect on the operations or financial  results
of the  Company.  As of December  31, 1999,  the Company  estimates  that it had
incurred approximately $10.9 million in its Year 2000 efforts, including without
limitation, outside consulting fees and computer systems upgrades, but excluding
internal staff costs,  all of which has been  expensed.  It is possible that IHS
will experience Year 2000 related problems in the future,  particularly with its
non-business  critical systems,  which may result in failures or miscalculations
resulting in  inaccuracies  in computer  output or  disruptions  of  operations.
However,  IHS  believes  that the Year 2000  Problem  will not pose  significant
operational  problems for its business  critical computer systems and equipment.
The financial impact of future remediation activities that may become necessary,
if any,  cannot be known  precisely  at this time,  but it is not expected to be
material.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1998 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities.  This statement
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,
including   certain   derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other  contracts,
(collectively  referred  to as  derivatives)  and  for  hedging  activities.  It
requires  that  an  entity   recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets  or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  The  accounting  for  changes in the fair value of a  derivative
depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.  If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a
hedge of  exposure  to  changes  in the  fair  value  of a  recognized  asset or
liability or an unrecognized firm

                                       53

<PAGE>

commitment,  (b)  a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted
transaction,  or  (c)  a  hedge  of the foreign currency exposures. In 1999, the
Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  SFAS  No.  137,  Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date
of  SFAS  No.  133. The purpose of this statement is to delay the effective date
of  SFAS  No.  133.  SFAS No. 137 states that SFAS No. 133 will be effective for
all  fiscal  quarters  of  all  fiscal  years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
adoption  of  this  statement  is  not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

     In March 1998 the Accounting  Standards Executive Committee ("ASEC") of the
American  Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
98-1,  Accounting for the Costs of Computer  Software  Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use ("SOP  98-1").  SOP 98-1  provides  guidance as to whether  certain
costs for internal use software should be capitalized or expensed when incurred.
In addition,  in June 1998 the ASEC issued Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting
on the Costs of Start-up  Activities ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 provides guidance on
the  financial  reporting  of  start-up  costs.  It  requires  costs of start-up
activities  to be expensed as  incurred.  The  adoption of SOP 98-1 and 98-5 are
effective  for 1999.  The  adoption of SOP 98-1 and 98-5 did not have a material
impact on the financial statements.

(1) As a result of the Company's financial position during the fourth quarter of
    1999,  various  agencies of the federal  government  accelerated  efforts to
    reach a  resolution  of all  outstanding  claims and  issues  related to the
    Company's  alleged  violation of healthcare  statutes and related  causes of
    action.  These matters involve various government claims,  many of which are
    of

                                       54

<PAGE>

  unspecified amounts.  Because the government's review of these matters has not
  been  completed,  management  is  unable to  assess  fully  the  merits of the
  government's  monetary  claims.  Based  on a  preliminary  evaluation  of  the
  government's  estimable  claims,  the Company recorded a $39.5 million accrued
  liability for such claims, for which an unfavorable outcome is probable, as of
  December 31, 1999. However, the ultimate amount of any future settlement could
  differ significantly from such provision.

(2) In 1999, consists primarily of (i) a loss on impairment of long-lived assets
    of  $1,641,487,000,  (ii)  a loss  of  $383,846,000  from  the  sale  of the
    Company's infusion business,  (iii) a loss of $21,754,000 in connection with
    the closure of certain  diagnostic  operations,  (iv) a loss of  $10,865,000
    from abandoned and terminated computer systems,  (v) a loss of $7,020,000 on
    the  termination  of its proposed sale of RoTech,  (vi) a loss of $9,195,000
    from the  settlement  of notes  receivable,  and (vii)  $2,165,000  of other
    charges.  See "Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial
    Condition and Results of Operations -- Acquisition and Divestiture  History"
    and --  "Results  of  Operations"  and Notes  1(g),  1(k) and 20 of Notes to
    Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) In October 1999, B&G Partners Limited Partnership  transferred 9 1/4% Senior
    Notes,  10 1/4%  Senior  Notes and 5 3/4%  Senior  Debentures  (collectively
    referred  to  as  "Senior  Notes")  with  a  face  value  of   approximately
    $3,345,000, $6,050,000 and $1,091,000,  respectively, to IHS in satisfaction
    of its  obligation  to the  Company  pursuant  to a  promissory  note  dated
    December 10, 1993 in the amount of  $10,486,000.  On the date of transfer to
    IHS, the Senior Notes had a fair market value of  approximately  $1,291,000.
    As a result,  the Company recorded a loss on settlement of notes receivable,
    (which  has  been  reflected  as a  non-recurring  charge),  and a  gain  on
    extinguishment of debt, (which has been reflected as an extraordinary item),
    of approximately $9,195,000 in 1999.

(4) Represents  loss from  operations in all periods and loss on  disposition in
    the third  quarter  of 1998 of its home  health  nursing  segment  which was
    discontinued  in  the  third  quarter  of  1998.  See  note  8 of  Notes  to
    Consolidated Financial Statements.

(5) In the fourth quarter of 1999,  the Company made  adjustments to account for
    the  transfer  of 33  facilities  to  Monarch as a  financing  and to revise
    certain  accruals  for  incentive  management  fees (and  related  equity in
    earnings  of  Lyric)  and  for  workers'  compensation  obligations.   These
    adjustments  had the  following  effect on  operating  results in the fourth
    quarter:  revenues were increased by $12,361,000  (related to rental revenue
    and management fee income);  operating,  general and administrative expenses
    were decreased by $1,500,000;  depreciation and amortization  were increased
    by  $4,164,000;  interest was increased by $9,213,000 and equity in earnings
    of affliates was increased by $420,000. These fourth quarter adjustments had
    a net effect of $904,000  which related to previous  fiscal periods in 1999.
    The effect on individual quarterly results was not material.

     From January 1, 1998 through  December  31, 1999,  the Company  acquired 12
geriatric care  facilities  (including 9 facilities it had  previously  leased),
leased 52 geriatric care  facilities and entered into  management  agreements to
manage 41  geriatric  care  facilities  and 5 specialty  hospitals.  During this
period,  the Company  sold or  transferred  its  interest in 59  geriatric  care
facilities and 5 specialty hospitals (including 38 geriatric care facilities and
5 specialty  hospitals  that it currently  manages) and  agreements to manage 22
facilities were  terminated.  During this period,  the Company sold its infusion
and home health nursing divisions.  See "-- Acquisition and Divestiture  History
- - --  Divestitures."  In March 1999,  the Company sold,  effective  April 1, 1999,
three additional facilities to Monarch LP for $33 million,  which purchase price
was paid by a 10% promissory  note due March 2000.  Monarch LP then leased these
facilities to subsidiaries of Lyric. In September 1999 the Company cancelled the
transaction  effective  April 1,  1999,  because  Monarch  was  unable to obtain
adequate financing, and restored the assets to the Company's balance sheet.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company utilizes  interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate
exposure on its  floating  rate  revolving  credit and term loan  facility.  The
principal  objective  of such  contracts  is to minimize  the risks and/or costs
associated  with  financial  operating  activities.  Each  interest rate swap is
matched as a hedge against  existing  floating  rate debt.  The Company does not
hold derivatives  financial  instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In
December 1999, the counterparties  terminated certain floating to fixed interest
rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $850,000,000.  As a result,
the Company  recorded a net  settlement  liability of $2,622,000 at December 31,
1999 which has been recorded as additional  interest expense in the statement of
operations.  At December  31,  1999,  the Company had  outstanding  $150 million
notional amount of floating to fixed interest rate swap  agreements.  Subsequent
to December  31,  1999,  such  agreements  were  terminated  and  resulted in an
immaterial gain to the Company.

     The following table provides information as of December 31, 1999, about the
Company's  floating  rate debt and  derivative  financial  instruments  that are
sensitive to changes in interest  rates,  including  interest rate swaps and the
Company's term and revolving credit facilities. For debt obligations,  the table
presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by contractual maturity
dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents  notional  principal  amounts
and weighted average fixed and floating  interest rates by contractual  maturity
dates.  Notional  amounts are used to calculate the  contractual  payments to be
exchanged  under the interest rate swaps.  All debt and swaps are denominated in
US dollars.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integrated Health Services, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Integrated
Health  Services,   Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  as  listed  in  the
accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated  financial
statements,  we also have audited the financial statement schedule listed in the
accompanying  index. These consolidated  financial  statements and the financial
statement  schedule are the  responsibility  of the  Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Integrated Health
Services, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1999 and the results of
their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole,  presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the information set forth
therein.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the
financial  statements,  the Company has suffered recurring losses in each of the
years in the  three-year  period ended December 31, 1999 and, as of December 31,
1999,  has a working  capital  deficiency of $3.06  billion and a  stockholders'
deficit of $937 million. In addition,  the Company is in default of various loan
agreements  and, on February 2, 2000, the Company and  substantially  all of its
subsidiaries filed separate  voluntary  petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of
the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code. These  conditions raise  substantial  doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to develop
a  plan  of  reorganization   for  approval  by  the  Company's   creditors  and
confirmation  by the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court. If the plan of  reorganization  is
accepted,  continuation of the business thereafter is dependent on the Company's
ability to achieve  successful  future  operations.  The consolidated  financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects
on  the   recoverability  and  classification  of  assets  or  the  amounts  and
classifications  of  liabilities  that  might  result  from the  outcome of this
uncertainty.

               INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1998 AND 1999
               (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a) Basis of Presentation, Going Concern and Liquidity Issues

     Integrated Health Services, Inc. (IHS), a Delaware corporation,  was formed
on March 25, 1986. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
IHS and  its  majority-owned  and  controlled  subsidiaries  (the  Company).  In
consolidation,  all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.  Investments  in  affiliates  in which the Company  has  significant
influence but less than majority  ownership and control are accounted for by the
equity method (see note 4). As discussed in notes 1(q) and 8, the Company's home
health nursing segment is presented as a discontinued operation.

     The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  prepared
assuming  that the Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  The Company has
suffered  recurring  losses in each of the years in the three-year  period ended
December 31, 1999 and, as of December 31, 1999, has a working capital deficiency
of $3,055,000 and a stockholders' equity deficit of $937,000.  In addition,  the
Company is in default of various loan  agreements  and, on February 2, 2000, the
Company and  substantially  all of its  subsidiaries  filed  separate  voluntary
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware.  These  conditions,  among others,
raise  substantial  doubt  about the  Company's  ability to  continue as a going
concern. Management will develop a plan of reorganization that will be submitted
to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Company's creditors for their approval.  In
the event the plan of reorganization  is accepted,  continuation of the business
thereafter is dependent on the Company's  ability to achieve  successful  future
operations.

     The Company is in default of its  revolving  credit and term loan  facility
agreement,  its  subordinated  debentures  and  notes  and  certain  other  debt
agreements.  Accordingly,  such debt has been classified as a current obligation
at December 31, 1999.  The Company has not made scheduled  interest  payments on
such obligations since November 1, 1999.

     Except as may be otherwise  determined by the Bankruptcy  Court  overseeing
the Chapter 11 filings, the automatic stay protection afforded by the Chapter 11
filings  prevents any creditor or other third  parties from taking any action in
connection  with any defaults under  prepetition  obligations of the Company and
those of its  subsidiaries  which are  debtors  in the  Chapter  11  filing.  In
connection  with the Chapter 11  filings,  the  Company  must  develop a plan of
reorganization  that will be  approved by its  creditors  and  confirmed  by the
Bankruptcy Court overseeing the Company's Chapter 11 filings.

     In  connection  with  the  Chapter  11  filings,  the  Company  obtained  a
commitment for $300,000 in  debtor-in-possession  financing (the "DIP Facility")
from a group of banks led by  Citicorp  U.S.A.,  Inc. As of March 30,  2000,  no
amounts are outstanding under the DIP Facility (see Note 9).

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared on
the basis of accounting  principles applicable to going concerns and contemplate
the  realization of assets and the settlements of liabilities and commitments in
the  normal  course  of  business.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include
adjustments,   if  any,  to  reflect  the   possible   future   effects  on  the
recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  assets  or  the  amounts  and
classifications  of  liabilities  that  may  result  from  the  outcome  of this
uncertainty.  In  addition,  since the Company  filed for  protection  under the
Bankruptcy Code subsequent to December 31, 1999, the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements  have not  been  prepared  in  accordance  with SOP  90-7,
"Financial  Reporting by Entities in  Reorganization  under the Bankruptcy Code"
("SOP  90-7"),  and  do  not  include  disclosures  of  liabilities  subject  to
compromise.  Financial  statements  prepared subsequent to the filing date under
Chapter 11 will be prepared reflecting such amounts subject to compromise.

     The Company  incurred $8,296 in 1999 of legal,  accounting,  consulting and
other fees in connection with the Company's financial reorganization.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

     (b) Patient Services Revenues

     Patient  services  revenues  represent  routine  service  (room and  board)
charges of geriatric and assisted living  facilities,  ancillary service charges
of  geriatric  and assisted  living  facilities,  revenues  generated by medical
specialty   units  and   revenues  of  pharmacy,   rehabilitation,   diagnostic,
respiratory  therapy,  hospice and similar service operations.  Patient services
revenues are recorded at established rates and adjusted for differences  between
such  rates and  estimated  amounts  reimbursable  by  third-party  payors  when
applicable.  Estimated  settlements under third-party payor  retrospective  rate
setting programs (primarily Medicare and Medicaid) are accrued in the period the
related services are rendered. Settlements receivable and related revenues under
such  programs  are based on annual cost  reports  prepared in  accordance  with
federal  and  state  regulations,   which  reports  are  subject  to  audit  and
retroactive adjustment in future periods. In the opinion of management, adequate
provision has been made for such adjustments and final settlements will not have
a material effect on financial  position or results of operations.  The Balanced
Budget Act (BBA),  enacted in 1997, provided for, among other things, a Medicare
prospective   payment  system  (PPS)  for  skilled  nursing   facilities  to  be
implemented for all cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998.

     The  Company's  owned  and  leased  Medicare   certified   skilled  nursing
facilities were phased into PPS based on their cost report years (159 facilities
on January 1, 1999;  92  facilities on June 1, 1999 and 29 facilities on various
dates  between  July 1,  1998  and  August  1,  1999).  At  December  31,  1999,
substantially  all  facilities are being paid by Medicare under PPS, and revenue
consists of  aggregate  payments  from  Medicare  for  individual  claims at the
appropriate payment rates, which include reimbursement for ancillary services.

     Laws and  regulations  governing  the Medicare  and  Medicaid  programs are
complex and subject to  interpretation.  The Company is aware of certain current
investigations and additional possible  investigations  involving allegations of
potential wrongdoing with respect to Medicare and Medicaid. (See note 22). While
the Company believes that it is in compliance,  in all material  respects,  with
all applicable laws and  regulations,  compliance with such laws and regulations
can be  subject  to  future  government  review  and  interpretation  as well as
significant  regulatory action including fines,  penalties and an exclusion from
the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

     (c) Cash Equivalents and Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

     Cash  equivalents  consist of highly liquid debt  instruments with original
maturities  of three  months or less at the date of  investment  by the Company.
Temporary  investments,  consisting  primarily of preferred stocks and municipal
bonds, are classified as a trading security  portfolio and are recorded at their
fair value, with net unrealized gains or losses included in earnings.

     (d) Property, Plant and Equipment

     The  Company  capitalizes  costs  associated  with  acquiring  health  care
facilities and related interests therein. Pre-acquisition costs represent direct
costs of the  investigation  and  negotiation  of the  acquisition  of operating
facilities and ancillary  business units;  indirect and general expenses related
to such  activities are expensed as incurred.  Pre-construction  costs represent
direct costs incurred to secure control of the development  site,  including the
requisite certificate of need and other approvals,  and to perform other initial
tasks which are essential to the  development  and  construction  of a facility.
Pre-acquisition  and  pre-construction  costs are transferred to construction in
progress and depreciable  asset categories when the related tasks are completed.
Interest  cost  incurred  during  construction  is  capitalized.  Non-refundable
purchase  option fees related to operating  leases are  generally  classified as
leasehold  interests and treated as deposits  until (1) the option is exercised,
whereupon the deposit is applied as a credit against the purchase  price, or (2)
the  option  period  expires or the  Company  concludes  the option  will not be
exercised, if earlier, whereupon the deposit is written off as lease termination
expense.

                                       66

               INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

     (d) Property, Plant and Equipment - (CONTINUED)

     Total  costs  of   facilities   acquired  are   allocated  to  land,   land
improvements,  equipment and buildings (or leasehold interests therein) based on
their respective fair values determined generally by independent appraisal. Cost
in excess of such identified  fair values is classified as intangible  assets of
businesses acquired.

     (e) Depreciation

     Depreciation  is provided  on the  straight-line  basis over the  estimated
useful lives of the assets,  generally 25 years for land improvements,  10 years
for  equipment,  40 years for  buildings  and the term of the lease for costs of
leasehold interests and improvements.

     (f) Deferred Financing Costs

     The Company defers  financing  costs incurred to obtain  long-term debt and
amortizes  such costs  over the term of the  related  obligation  using the debt
outstanding (interest) method.

     (g) Intangible Assets Acquired

     Prior to the  fourth  quarter  of 1999,  intangible  assets  of  businesses
acquired  (primarily  goodwill)  were  amortized  by  the  straight-line  method
primarily  over 40 years,  the period over which such costs were estimated to be
recoverable  through operating cash flows. As discused in previous reports,  the
Company has  continued  to evaluate the impact of the 1997  Balanced  Budget Act
(BBA) upon future  operating  results of each business  line,  particularly  the
impact  of  the  prospective  payment  system  (PPS).  Utilizing  the  Company's
experience  with PPS since  January  1, 1999  (June 1, 1999 with  respect to the
Horizon facilities), the Company performed a preliminary analysis of such impact
in the third quarter of 1999 and a more  comprehensive  analysis at December 31,
1999.  PPS has had a  dramatic  negative  impact on the  operating  results  and
financial condition of the Company. The PPS system has significantly reduced the
revenues, cash flow and liquidity of the Company and the long-term care industry
in 1999.  As a result of the  negative  impact  of the  provisions  of PPS,  the
Company  changed the estimated life of its goodwill to 15-20 years.  This change
has been  treated as a change in  accounting  estimate  and is being  recognized
prospectively beginning October 1, 1999 (see notes 6 and 20).

     (h) Investments in and Advances to Affiliates

     Investments in which the Company has significant  influence and has a 20% -
50% ownership  interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
The  investments  are carried at the cost of the  investment  plus the Company's
equity in undistributed earnings (losses). Investments in which the Company does
not  exercise  significant  influence  (generally  less  than  a  20%  ownership
interest) are accounted for using the cost method of accounting for investments.

     (i) Deferred Gains on Sale-Leaseback Transactions

     Gains on the sales of  nursing  facilities  which  are  leased  back  under
operating  leases are  initially  deferred and  amortized  over the terms of the
leases in proportion to and as a reduction of related rental expense.

     (j) Stock-Based Compensation

     The   Company   applies   Accounting   Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25,
"Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to Employees," ("APB No. 25") in accounting for
its  stock  options  and  warrants  issued  to employees. Additional information
required  by  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") is discussed in note 12.

     (k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Management  regularly  evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances
have  occurred  that could  indicate an  impairment  in the value of  long-lived
assets.  In  accordance  with the  provisions  of SFAS No.  121,  if there is an
indication that the carrying value of an asset is not  recoverable,  the Company
estimates the

                                       67

<PAGE>

               INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

     (k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - (CONTINUED)

projected undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, of the related individual
facilities and business units (the lowest level for which there are identifiable
cash flows  independent of other groups of assets) to determine if an impairment
loss  should be  recognized.  The amount of  impairment  loss is  determined  by
comparing  the  historical  carrying  value of the asset to its  estimated  fair
value.  Estimated  fair value is determined  through an evaluation of recent and
projected  financial  performance  of its  facilities  and business  units using
standard industry  valuation  techniques.  If an asset tested for recoverability
was acquired in a business combination  accounted for using the purchase method,
the related  goodwill is included as part of the carrying value and evaluated as
described above in determining the recoverability of that asset.

     In addition to  consideration  of impairment  upon the events or changes in
circumstances  described  above,  management  regularly  evaluates the remaining
lives of its long-lived assets. If estimates are changed,  the carrying value of
affected assets is allocated over the remaining lives.

     In  estimating  the future cash flows for  determining  whether an asset is
impaired  and if  expected  future  cash  flows  used in  measuring  assets  are
impaired,  the Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which there are
identifiable cash flows independent of other groups of assets. These levels were
each  of the  individual  nursing/subacute  facilities,  and  each  of the  home
respiratory/infusion/DME,    rehabilitation   therapy,    respiratory   therapy,
lithotripsy and mobile diagnostics divisions. In addition, the recoverability of
goodwill is further  evaluated  under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 17 based
on the undiscounted cash flows. If such costs are impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying  amount of the assets
exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. (See note 20.)

     (l) Income Taxes

     Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax  consequences of temporary
differences  between  financial  statement  carrying amounts and the related tax
bases of assets and  liabilities.  Such tax  effects  are  measured  by applying
enacted  statutory tax rates applicable to future years in which the differences
are expected to reverse,  and the effect of a change in tax rates is  recognized
in the period the legislation is enacted.

     (m) Earnings Per Share

     Earnings  per  share  is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). Additional
information required by SFAS No. 128 is discussed in note 13.

     (n) Business and Credit Concentrations

     The Company's  revenues are generated through  approximately  1,300 service
locations in 46 states and the District of Columbia, including 366 owned, leased
and managed  geriatric care facilities.  The Company  generally does not require
collateral  or other  security in  extending  credit to patients;  however,  the
Company routinely obtains  assignments of (or is otherwise  entitled to receive)
benefits  receivable under the health insurance  programs,  plans or policies of
patients  (e.g.,  Medicare,  Medicaid,  commercial  insurance  and managed  care
organizations) (see note 3).

     (o) Management Agreements

     IHS manages  geriatric care facilities  under contract for others for a fee
which  generally is equal to 4% to 8% of the gross revenue of the geriatric care
facility.  Under the terms of the contract, IHS is responsible for providing all
personnel,  marketing,  nursing,  resident  care,  dietary and social  services,
accounting  and data  processing  reports  and  services  for these  facilities,
although  such  services  are  provided  at the  facility  owner's  expense.  In
addition,  certain management  agreements also provide IHS with an incentive fee
based on the

                                       68

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

     (o) Management Agreements - (CONTINUED)

amount of the  facility's  operating  income in  excess of  stipulated  amounts.
Management  fee revenues are recognized  when earned and billed,  generally on a
monthly basis.  Incentive fees are recognized when operating  results of managed
facilities  exceed amounts  required for incentive  fees in accordance  with the
terms of the  management  agreement.  Management  agreements  generally  have an
initial  term of ten  years,  with IHS  having  a right to renew in most  cases.
Contract  acquisition  costs for legal and other direct costs incurred by IHS to
acquire  long-term  management  contracts are capitalized and amortized over the
term of the related  contract.  Management  periodically  evaluates its deferred
contract costs for  recoverability by assessing the projected  undiscounted cash
flows,  excluding  interest,  of the managed  facilities;  any impairment in the
financial  condition  of the  facility  will result in a writedown by IHS of its
deferred contract costs.

     (p) Assets held for Sale

     In  1998,  assets  held for  sale  represent  the  assets  of 26  physician
practices  acquired in the acquisition of RoTech Medical  Corporation which were
sold in 1999. Such amounts are carried at estimated net realizable  value,  less
estimated carrying costs to be incurred during the holding period.

     (q) Discontinued operations

     In  October  1998,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  adopted  a plan to
discontinue  its home  health  nursing  segment.  Accordingly,  the  Company has
reclassified  its financial  statements to present the operating  results of the
home health nursing segment as a discontinued  operation.  The operating results
of home  health  nursing  include  interest  expense  (allocated  based  on debt
specifically  identified  with  acquisition  financing)  of  $20,321 in 1997 and
$25,678 in 1998.  During the first and second  quarter of 1999, the Company sold
the home nursing segment for approximately $26 million.

     (r) Derivative Financial Instruments

     The Company  utilizes  interest rate swap agreements to manage market risks
and reduce its exposure  resulting from fluctuations in interest rates.  Amounts
currently  due to or from  interest  rate swap  counterparties  are  recorded as
adjustments  to interest  expense in the period in which they  accrue.  Gains or
losses on  terminated  agreements  are included in accounts  payable and accrued
expenses and amortized to interest expense over the shorter of the original term
of the  agreements  or the life of the financial  instruments  to which they are
matched.

     (s) Reclassifications

     Certain  amounts  presented  in 1997 and 1998  have  been  reclassified  to
conform with the presentation for 1999.

     The  unaudited  pro forma results  include the  historical  accounts of the
Company and the  historical  accounts  for the acquired  businesses  adjusted to
reflect (1) depreciation and amortization of the acquired  identifiable tangible
and intangible assets based on the new cost basis of the  acquisitions,  (2) the
interest expense resulting from the financing of the  acquisitions,  (3) the new
cost basis for the allocation of corporate overhead expenses and (4) the related
income tax effects.  The pro forma  results are not  necessarily  indicative  of
actual results which might have occurred had the operations and management teams
of the Company and the acquired companies been combined in prior years.

     In  connection   with  its  business   acquisitions,   the  Company  incurs
transaction  costs,  costs to exit certain  activities and costs to terminate or
relocate certain  employees of acquired  companies.  Liabilities  accrued in the
acquisition  cost  allocations  represent  direct costs of  acquisitions,  which
consist  primarily of  transaction  costs for legal,  accounting  and consulting
fees,  of  $66,440 in 1997,  $13,442  in 1998 and $690 in 1999,  as well as exit
costs and employee  termination and relocation costs of $33,220 in 1997,  $4,743
in 1998 and $510 in 1999.  Accrued  acquisition  liabilities  for exit costs and
employee termination and relocation costs are recognized in accordance with EITF
95-3,  "Recognition  Of  Liabilities  In  Connection  With A  Purchase  Business
Combination"  and are  summarized  as follows for the years ended  December  31,
1997, 1998 and 1999:

</TABLE>

     The Company has not finalized its plans to exit activities (exit plans) and
to  terminate or relocate  employees  (termination  plans) of certain  companies
acquired in 1999.  Unresolved  issues relate  primarily to the  finalization  of
severance and termination  arrangements.  Accordingly,  unresolved  issues could
result in additional liabilities for salaries, benefits and related increases to
the  acquisition  cost.  These  adjustments  will be  reported  primarily  as an
increase or decrease in goodwill.

     There were no  significant  exit plans at December  31, 1999 and 1998.  The
exit plans at December  31, 1997  consisted  of the  discontinuation  of certain
activities of the  businesses  acquired from  HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation,  Arcadia
Services and Ambulatory  Pharmaceutical Services,  including estimates for costs
related to the closure of duplicative  facilities,  lease  termination  fees and
other exit costs as defined in EITF 95-3.  Significant exit activities  relating
to the 1997 acquisitions were completed by December 31, 1998.

     The  termination  plans for the year ended December 31, 1999 were completed
by  December  31,  1999.  The  termination  plans at  December  31,  1998 relate
primarily to the following employee groups with the indicated  anticipated dates
of  completion  of  termination/relocation:  Paragon  Rehabilitative  Service by
January 1999;  Arrowhealth Medical Supply by October 1999; Eastern Home Care and
Oxygen by May 1999,  First  Community  Care by May 1999 and  Valley  Oxygen  and
Medical  Equipment by September 1999. The termination plans at December 31, 1997
relate primarily to the following employee groups with the indicated anticipated
dates  of  completion  of   termination/relocation:   businesses  acquired  from
HEALTHSOUTH Corporation by December 1998, RoTech and the Lithotripsy Division of
Coram by October 1998,  Portable X-Ray Labs by February 1998,  Rehab Dynamics by
June 1998,  Arcadia and Ambulatory  Pharmaceutical  Services by August 1998, and
Community Care of America by September 1998.

     In addition to the accrued  acquisition  liabilities  described  above, the
Company allocates the cost of its business acquisitions to the respective assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, including preacquisition contingencies, on the
basis of  estimated  fair values at the date of  acquisition.  Often the Company
must await

additional  information for the resolution or final measurement of contingencies
and valuation  estimates  during the allocation  period,  which usually does not
exceed  one year from the date of  acquisition.  Accordingly,  the effect of the
resolution or final  measurement of such matters during the allocation period is
treated  as an  acquisition  adjustment  primarily  to the  amount  of  goodwill
recorded.  After the allocation period,  such resolution or final measurement is
recognized in the determination of net earnings. Preacquisition contingencies in
connection with the Company's business acquisitions primarily relate to Medicare
and Medicaid  regulatory  compliance  matters,  claims  subject to  intermediary
audits,  income tax matters and legal proceedings.  During the three years ended
December 31, 1999,  the Company  resolved or completed the final  measurement of
certain   preacquisition   contingencies   related  to  business   acquisitions.
Accordingly, the Company adjusted the original allocation of these businesses by
increasing   goodwill,   decreasing   certain   third-party   payor  settlements
receivable,  and increasing  certain current  liabilities.  In 1998, the Company
completed  the  final  measurement  of the fair  value of  assets  acquired  and
liabilities  assumed,  including  pre-acquisition  contingencies,  and  recorded
adjustments  to the  December  31,  1997  preliminary  estimated  amounts.  Such
adjustments  related  primarily to the businesses  acquired from  HEALTHSOUTH on
December 31, 1997.  Such final  measurement  resulted in adjustments to increase
the obligation for unfavorable  leases and contracts by  approximately  $65,380,
related primarily to certain  neuro-rehabilitative  facilities in Massachusetts,
to increase accrued  liabilities for certain litigation matters by approximately
$23,785  and  to  increase  valuation   allowances  on  certain  receivables  by
approximately  $10,345. In addition, the Company recorded additional liabilities
of approximately  $30,920 related to commitments to certain HMO businesses which
were sold by RoTech  concurrent  with its  acquisition by IHS. Such  commitments
were finalized in 1998. Management is aware of certain adjustments that might be
required   with  respect  to   acquisitions   recorded  at  December  31,  1999;
accordingly,  the  original  allocation  could be  adjusted  to the extent  that
finalized amounts differ from the estimates.

TUTERA HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT, L.P.

     In January,  1993, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of IHS,  Integrated  Health
Services of  Missouri,  Inc.  ("IHSM"),  invested  $4,650 for a 49%  interest in
Tutera  Health  Care  Management,   L.P.  (the  "Partnership"  or  "Tutera"),  a
partnership  newly formed to manage and operate  approximately  8,000  geriatric
care and assisted  retirement beds.  Cenill,  Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Tutera Group,  Inc., is the sole general  partner of the  Partnership and owns a
51% interest  therein.  Subject to certain material  transactions  requiring the
approval of IHSM, the business of the  Partnership  was conducted by its general
partner.  In November  1998,  the Company sold its 49% interest in Tutera to the
general partner of the Partnership.  In addition,  the Company  purchased one of
the Tutera facilities, exercising its purchase option.

CRAEGMOOR HEALTHCARE

     The Company had a 21.3%  interest in the common stock and a 63.7%  interest
in the 6% cumulative  convertible  preferred  stock of  Speciality  Care PLC, an
owner and operator of  geriatric  care  facilities  in the United  Kingdom.  The
Preferred  Stock had  preferences  as to  liquidation.  Upon  conversion  of the
preferred stock, the Company would have owned  approximately 31.4% of Speciality
(assuming no further  issuances).  In February 1998  Speciality  was acquired by
Craegmoor  Healthcare  Company Limited  ("Craegmoor"),  an owner and operator of
residential nursing homes in the United Kingdom,  through an exchange of capital
stock.  As a result of the exchange,  IHS owns less than 10% of the  outstanding
ordinary  shares of  Craegmoor.  In 1999,  the  Company  incurred  a loss on the
impairment on this investment of $3.4 million.

LYRIC HEALTH CARE LLC ("LYRIC")

     In January 1998, the Company sold five  long-term care  facilities to Omega
Healthcare  Investors,  Inc. for $44,500,  which  facilities were leased back by
Lyric Health Care LLC ("Lyric"),  a newly formed subsidiary of IHS, at an annual
rent of  approximately  $4,500.  The  Company  recorded a $2,500 loss in 1997 in
anticipation  of the sale of these  facilities.  In a related  transaction,  TFN
Healthcare  Investors,  LLC ("TFN"), an entity in which Timothy F. Nicholson,  a
director of IHS, is the principal member,  purchased a 50% interest in Lyric for
$1,000 and IHS' interest in Lyric was reduced to 50%.

     In  March  1998,  the  Company  sold  an  additional  five  long-term  care
facilities to Omega Healthcare Investors,  Inc. for approximately $50,000, which
facilities were leased back to Lyric at an annual rent of approximately  $4,900.
The Company recorded no gain or loss on this transaction.

     In connection with these transactions, IHS also entered into management and
franchise agreements with Lyric which provide for initial terms of 13 years with
two renewal  options of 13 years each.  The base  management fee was 3% of gross
revenues in 1998 and  increased to 4% of gross  revenues in 1999 pursuant to the
management  agreement,  as amended.  In addition,  the agreement provides for an
incentive management fee equal to 70% of annual net cash flow (as defined in the
management  agreement).  The duties of IHS as  manager  include  the  following:
accounting,  legal,  human  resources,   operations,  materials  and  facilities
management and regulatory  compliance.  The annual  franchise fee is 1% of gross
revenues,  which grants Lyric the authority to use the Company's trade names and
proprietary materials.

     On  February  1,  1998  Lyric  also  entered  into a  five-year  employment
agreement  with Timothy F.  Nicholson,  the principal  stockholder  of TFN and a
director of the Company.  Pursuant to Lyric's operating agreement, Mr. Nicholson
serves as Managing  Director of Lyric and has the  day-to-day  authority for the
management  and operation of Lyric and initiates  policy  proposals for business
plans,  acquisitions,  employment  policy,  approval  of  budgets,  adoption  of
insurance programs, additional service offerings,  financing strategy, ancillary
service usage, change in material terms of any lease and  adoption/amendment  of
employee health, benefit and compensation plans. Lyric will dissolve on December
31, 2047 unless extended for an

additional  12 months.  As a result of the  aforementioned  transactions  IHS no
longer  controls  Lyric and,  accordingly,  accounts for its investment in Lyric
using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting for
Lyric,  IHS records 50% of Lyric's  earnings and losses  pursuant to the amended
operating agreement. The equity method is applied to the Company's investment in
Lyric, including outstanding loans and management and franchise fees.

     Cash flow deficiencies,  if any, of Lyric may be satisfied by (1) available
working capital loans under a revolving  credit  facility from  Copelco/American
Healthfund,  Inc. of $25,000 in 1999 ($10,000 in 1998), (2) obtaining additional
borrowings  under  new  debt  arrangements,  (3)  obtaining  additional  capital
contributions  from IHS and TFN, the existing  members of Lyric,  although  such
contributions  are not required and, in the case of IHS, are not permitted under
the DIP agreement, and (4) admission of new members to Lyric.

     In connection with the 1999  transactions  with Monarch,  discussed in note
19, the Company  entered into  management  and franchise  agreements  with Lyric
which  provide an initial  term of 10 years with three  renewal  options of five
years each. The base and incentive  management  fees are the same as the earlier
transaction discussed above.

     Included in leasehold  improvements  and  leasehold  interests are purchase
option  deposits on 63  facilities  of $47,917 at December  31,  1999,  of which
$43,702 is refundable and 64 facilities of $71,415 at December 31, 1998 of which
$46,411 is refundable.

     At December  31,  1999,  rental  property  includes  $196  million of land,
buildings,  improvements and equipment relating to 33 facilities  transferred to
Monarch Properties,  LP in January and September 1999 and leased to subsidiaries
of Lyric Health Care LLC.  The Company is managing  these  facilities  for Lyric
under long-term management  agreements.  This transaction has been accounted for
as a financing in the financial  statements  consistent with generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  Thus, solely for purposes of the financial  statements,
the proceeds  received  from Monarch on the transfer of the 33  facilities  have
been  treated as debt and the assets of these  facilities  are  reported  on the
balance sheet of the Company as rental  property.  Consistent with the Company's
original purposes for entering into the transactions  with Monarch,  the Company
believes  that  there is no debt  obligation  recognizable  under  law  owing to
Monarch. Under the transaction  documents,  Monarch has no recourse to assets or
income of the Company  (other than the  transferred  properties).  In  addition,
Monarch's  commercial lender that assisted in funding these  transactions has no
recourse  to  assets  or  income  of the  Company  (other  than the  transferred
properties).  Consistent with the transaction documents, Monarch has legal title
to the facilities which are leased to Lyric under an operating lease. (See notes

</TABLE>

     Management   regularly  evaluates  whether  events  or  circumstances  have
occurred that would indicate an impairment in the value or the life of goodwill.
In  accordance  with SFAS No. 121, if there is an  indication  that the carrying
value of an asset, including goodwill, is not recoverable, the Company estimates
the  projected  undiscounted  cash  flows,  excluding  interest,  of the related
business  unit to determine if an  impairment  loss should be  recognized.  Such
impairment  loss is determined  by comparing  the carrying  amount of the asset,
including  goodwill,  to its  estimated  fair value.  The Company  performs  the
impairment analysis at the individual facility and business unit level. See note
20 for information regarding impairment of assets in the year ended December 31,
1999.

(1) Represents  results  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998  (the
    measurement date).

(2) Non-recurring  charge  represents  an $8,199  charge  to exit a home  health
    management  contract,  and a $1,387  charge  resulting  from the  closure of
    certain redundant operations.

     The loss from  operations of the home health nursing segment for the period
from the  measurement  date through  December  31, 1998 was  $31,063.  Such loss
reflects the effects of provisions  for estimated  lease  termination  costs and
other costs incurred to close home health agencies during this period.

     In the first half of 1999,  the Company  sold the  remaining  assets of the
home health nursing segment for cash of $26,300.  The estimated loss on disposal
gives effect to the terms of these contracts.

     Due to the failure of the Company to make interest payments and comply with
certain  financial  covenants,  the  Company is in default  under the  revolving
credit  and term loan  facility,  all  subordinated  debt and a  portion  of its
mortgages  and other debt.  Accordingly,  these  obligations  are  classified as
current liabilities at December 31, 1999.

REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN FACILITY

     The  Company  has a  $2,150,000  revolving  credit  and term loan  facility
consisting of a $1,150,000 term loan facility and a $1,000,000  revolving credit
facility with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders
(the "New Credit Facility"),  which replaced its prior $700,000 revolving credit
facility.  The New Credit  Facility  consisted of a $750,000  term loan facility
(the "Term Facility") and a $1,000,000  revolving  credit facility,  including a
$100,000 letter of credit  subfacility and a $10,000 swing line subfacility (the
"Revolving  Facility").  As of December 31, 1999, $736,875 was outstanding under
the term facility and was payable as follows (in equal quarterly  installments):
each of 1999, (as to which three of the four payments were made), 2000, 2001 and
2002 -- $7,500;  2003 -- $337,500 and 2004 -- $375,000.  The Term Facility bears
interest  at a rate  equal to, at the  option of IHS,  either (i) in the case of
Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x) one and  three-quarters  percent or two percent
(depending  on the ratio of the  Company's  Debt (as  defined  in the New Credit
Facility) to earnings before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation,  amortization and
rent, pro forma for any  acquisitions  or  divestitures  during the  measurement
period  (the  "Debt/EBITDAR  Ratio"))  and (y) the  interest  rate in the London
interbank  market  for loans in an amount  substantially  equal to the amount of
borrowing and for the period of borrowing selected by IHS or (ii) the sum of (a)
the higher of (1) Citibank,  N.A.'s base rate or (2) one percent plus the latest
overnight  federal  funds  rate  plus  (b)  a  margin  of  one-half  percent  or
three-quarters of one percent (depending on the Debt/EBITDAR Ratio).

     In connection with the December 1997 acquisition of certain businesses from
HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation  (see note 2), IHS and the lenders under the New Credit
Facility  amended the New Credit Facility to provide for an additional  $400,000
term loan facility (the  "Additional Term Facility") to finance a portion of the
purchase price for the acquisition and to amend certain covenants to permit the

                                       83

consummation  of the  acquisition.  The  Additional  Term  Facility,  which  was
borrowed at the closing of the acquisition,  matures on December 31, 2005. As of
December 31, 1999,  $392,889  was  outstanding  and payable as follows (in equal
quarterly  installments):  1999,  (as to which three of the four  payments  were
made),  2000,  2001,  2002 and 2003 --  $4,000;  2004 --  $176,000;  and 2005 --
$199,889. The Additional Term Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the
option of IHS,  either (i) in the case of Eurodollar  loans,  the sum of (x) two
and  one-quarter   percent  or  two  and  one-half  percent  (depending  on  the
Debt/EBITDAR Ratio) and (y) the interest rate in the London interbank market for
loans in an amount  substantially  equal to the amount of borrowing  and for the
period of  borrowing  selected  by IHS or (ii) the sum of (a) the  higher of (1)
Citibank,  N.A.'s base rate or (2) one percent plus the latest overnight federal
funds  rate  plus (b) a margin of one  percent  or one and  one-quarter  percent
(depending on the Debt/EBITDAR Ratio). The Term Facility and the Additional Term
Facility can be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without penalty.

     The  Revolving  Facility  was to reduce to $800 million on January 1, 2001,
$600 million on January 1, 2002,  $500  million on  September  30, 2002 and $400
million on January  1,  2003,  with a final  maturity  on  September  15,  2003;
however,  the $100 million  letter of credit  subfacility  and $10 million swing
line  subfacility  will remain at $100  million and $10  million,  respectively,
until final maturity.  The Revolving Facility bears interest at a rate equal to,
at the option of IHS, either (i) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x)
between two percent and two and  three-quarters  percent (depending on the Debt/
EBITDAR  Ratio) and (y) the  interest  rate in the London  interbank  market for
loans in an amount  substantially  equal to the amount of borrowing  and for the
period of  borrowing  selected  by IHS or (ii) the sum of (a) the  higher of (1)
Citibank,  N.A.'s base rate or (2) one percent plus the latest overnight federal
funds rate plus (b) a margin of between  three  quarters  of one percent and one
and one-half percent (depending on the Debt/EBITDAR Ratio). Amounts repaid under
the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed prior to the maturity date.

     The New  Credit  Facility  limits  IHS'  ability to incur  indebtedness  or
contingent obligations,  to make additional acquisitions,  to sell or dispose of
assets,  to create or incur liens on assets,  to pay  dividends,  to purchase or
redeem  IHS'  stock  and to  merge or  consolidate  with any  other  person.  In
addition,  the New Credit  Facility  requires  that IHS meet  certain  financial
covenants  (which the Company did not meet at December 31,  1999),  and provides
the lenders  with the right to require  the  payment of all amounts  outstanding
under the facility,  and to terminate  all  commitments  under the facility,  if
there is a change in control of IHS or if any  person  other than Dr.  Robert N.
Elkins,  IHS' Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer,  or a group managed by Dr.
Elkins,  owns more than 40% of IHS' stock. The New Credit Facility is guaranteed
by all of IHS' subsidiaries (other than inactive  subsidiaries) and secured by a
pledge of all of the stock of substantially all of IHS' subsidiaries.

     The New Credit Facility  replaced the Company's  $700,000  revolving credit
facility (the "Prior Credit  Facility").  As a result,  the Company  recorded an
extraordinary  loss on  extinguishment  of debt of approximately  $2,384 (net of
related  tax  benefit  of  approximately  $1,524)  in the third  quarter of 1997
resulting  from the write-off of deferred  financing  costs of $3,908 related to
the Prior Credit Facility. See note 17.

     The Company utilizes  interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate
exposure on its  floating  rate  revolving  credit and term loan  facility.  The
principal  objective  of such  contracts  is to minimize  the risks and/or costs
associated  with  financial  operating  activities.  Each  interest rate swap is
matched as a hedge against  existing  floating  rate debt.  The Company does not
hold derivative financial  instruments for trading or speculative  purposes.  In
December 1999, the counterparties  terminated certain floating to fixed interest
rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $850,000.  As a result, the
Company  recorded a net  settlement  liability  of $2,622 at December  31, 1999,
which has been  recorded as  additional  interest  expense in the  statement  of
operations.  At December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding $150,000 notional
amount of

floating to fixed  interest  rate swap  agreements.  Subsequent  to December 31,
1999,  such agreements were terminated and resulted in an immaterial gain to the
Company.

SUBORDINATED DEBT

     On September 11, 1997, IHS issued $500,000  aggregate  principal  amount of
its 9 1/4%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2008 (the "9 1/4%  Senior  Notes").
Interest on the 9 1/4% Senior Notes is payable  semi-annually  on January 15 and
July 15.  The 9 1/4%  Senior  Notes  are  redeemable  in whole or in part at the
option of IHS at any time on or after January 15, 2003, at a price, expressed as
a percentage of the principal amount,  initially equal to 104.625% and declining
to 100% on January 15, 2006, plus accrued interest thereon. In addition, IHS may
redeem up to $166,667  aggregate  principal amount of 9 1/4% Senior Notes at any
time and from time to time prior to January 15, 2001 at a redemption price equal
to 109.25% of the aggregate  principal  amount  thereof,  plus accrued  interest
thereon, out of the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings (as
defined in the indenture  under which the 9 1/4% Senior Notes were issued).  IHS
used approximately $321,500 of the net proceeds to repay all amounts outstanding
under the Company's  $700,000  revolving  credit facility and used the remaining
approximately  $164,900 of net proceeds to pay a portion of the  purchase  price
for the acquisition of the businesses  acquired from HEALTHSOUTH and for general
corporate purposes, including working capital.

     In May 1997, the Company issued $450,000 aggregate  principal amount of its
9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "9 1/2% Senior Notes").  Interest
on the 9 1/2% Senior Notes is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15.
The 9 1/2%  Senior  Notes  are  redeemable  for  cash at any  time  on or  after
September 15, 2002, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, initially
at the redemption price equal to 104.75% of principal amount,  declining to 100%
of principal  amount on September 15, 2005, plus accrued interest thereon to the
date fixed for redemption.  In addition, IHS may redeem up to $150,000 aggregate
principal  amount of 9 1/2% Senior Notes at any time and from time to time prior
to September  15, 2000 at a redemption  price equal to 108.50% of the  aggregate
principal  amount thereof,  plus accrued interest  thereon,  out of the net cash
proceeds of one or more Public  Equity  Offerings  (as defined in the  indenture
under which the 9 1/2% Senior Notes were issued). The Company used approximately
$247,200  of the net  proceeds  from  the  sale of the 9 1/2%  Senior  Notes  to
repurchase substantially all of its outstanding 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2002 and 10 3/4% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2004 and to pay pre-payment
premiums,  consent  fees and accrued  interest  related to the  repurchase;  the
remainder was used to repay a portion of the balance then outstanding  under its
revolving  credit  facility.  In  connection  with the  repurchase,  the Company
recorded an extraordinary loss of $18,168 (net of tax). See note 17.

     On May 29, 1996, the Company issued $150,000 aggregate  principal amount of
its 10 1/4% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2006 (the "10 1/4%  Senior  Notes").
Interest on the 10 1/4% Senior  Notes is payable  semi-annually  on April 30 and
October 30. The 10 1/4% Senior Notes are  redeemable  for cash at any time after
April 30, 2001, at IHS' option,  in whole or in part,  initially at a redemption
price  equal to  105.125%  of the  principal  amount,  declining  to 100% of the
principal  amount on April 30, 2004, plus accrued  interest  thereon to the date
fixed  for  redemption.  Because  certain  actions  were not  taken to effect an
exchange offer within  specified  periods  whereby each holder of 10 1/4% Senior
Notes would be offered  the  opportunity  to  exchange  such notes for new notes
identical in all material respects to the 10 1/4% Senior Notes,  except that the
new notes would be registered under the Securities Act, the interest rate on the
10 1/4% Senior  Notes  increased  to 10.5%  beginning  November  25,  1996,  and
continued  to  increase  by 0.25%  each 90 days  until  the  exchange  offer was
commenced, which occurred on November 26, 1997.

     On May 18, 1995, the Company issued $115,000 aggregate  principal amount of
its 9 5/8%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2002,  Series A (the "9 5/8%  Senior
Notes"). On May 30, 1997, the Company  repurchased  $114,975 aggregate principal
amount of the 9 5/8% Senior Notes pursuant to a cash tender offer as discussed

                                       85

above. On July 7, 1994, the Company issued $100,000  aggregate  principal amount
of its 10 3/4% Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "10 3/4% Senior Notes").
On May 30, 1997, the Company  repurchased  $99,893 aggregate principal amount of
the 10 3/4% Senior Notes pursuant to a cash tender offer as discussed  above. As
a condition of the Company's obligation to repurchase tendered notes,  tendering
holders consented to amendments to the related  indentures under which the notes
were issued  which  eliminated  or modified  most of the  restrictive  covenants
previously contained in such indentures.

     The Company's 5 3/4%  convertible  senior  subordinated  debentures (the "5
3/4% Debentures") in the aggregate  principal amount of $142,659 are due January
1,  2001.  The  $1,979   aggregate   principal  amount  of  5  1/4%  convertible
subordinated  debentures of RoTech Medical Corporation (the "5 1/4% Debentures")
are due June 1, 2003. At any time prior to redemption or final  maturity,  the 5
3/4%  Debentures and the 5 1/4% Debentures are  convertible  into  approximately
4,376,043 shares and 43,773 shares, respectively, of Common Stock of the Company
at $32.60 per share and $45.21  per  share,  respectively,  at the option of the
holder,  subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The 5 3/4%
Debentures  and 5 1/4%  Debentures  are  redeemable  in  whole or in part at the
option of the  Company  at any time  after  January  2,  1997 and June 4,  1999,
respectively,  at  initial  redemption  prices  expressed  as  a  percentage  of
principal of 103.29% and 103.0%, respectively.

     On May 29, 1998,  the Company called for redemption on June 29, 1998 all of
its  outstanding  6%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due  2003  (the "6%
Debentures").  Of the $115,000  principal  amount of 6% Debentures  outstanding,
holders of $114,799  principal  amount of the 6% Debentures  converted  their 6%
Debentures into an aggregate of 3,573,446 shares of Common Stock. Holders of the
remaining  $201  principal  amount of 6% Debentures  received a cash  redemption
aggregating $213 ($1.06 per $1 principal amount of the 6% Debentures),  equal to
approximately $34.05 per underlying share of Common Stock in lieu of conversion.

     In the event of a change in control of IHS (as  defined),  each debt holder
may  require  the  Company  to  repurchase  the  debt,  in whole or in part,  at
redemption  prices  of 100% of the  principal  amount  in the case of the 5 3/4%
Debentures  and the 5 1/4%  Debentures  and 101% of the principal  amount in the
case of the 10 3/4% Senior Notes,  9 5/8% Senior Notes,  10 1/4% Senior Notes, 9
1/2% Senior Notes and 9 1/4% Senior Notes.

     The  indentures  under which each of the 10 1/4% Senior  Notes,  the 9 1/2%
Senior Notes and the 9 1/4% Senior Notes were issued contain certain  covenants,
including but not limited to,  covenants with respect to the following  matters:
(i) limitations on additional  indebtedness  unless certain  coverage ratios are
met; (ii) limitations on other  subordinated  debt; (iii)  limitations on liens;
(iv)  limitations on the issuance of preferred stock by IHS'  subsidiaries;  (v)
limitations  on  transactions  with  affiliates;  (vi)  limitations  on  certain

(10) OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

CONTINGENT PAYMENTS RELATED TO FIRST AMERICAN ACQUISITION

     The Company acquired all of the outstanding  stock of First American Health
Care of Georgia,  Inc. in October 1996. The purchase  price included  contingent
payments  which have been  determined  to be  probable,  and the  present  value
thereof is recorded as other long-term liabilities.

     Prior  to  its  acquisition  by  the  Company,  First  American  was  under
protection of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Court, with which it had filed a petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on February 21, 1996 (the
petition date) following its and its two principal shareholders'  convictions on
multiple  counts  of  having  made  improper  Medicare   reimbursement   claims.
Immediately  preceding the Chapter 11 filing,  First  American and its principal
shareholders had entered into a merger agreement with the Company. In connection
with the  bankruptcy  proceedings  and the  establishment  and approval of First
American's  plan  of  reorganization,  the  merger  agreement  was  amended  and
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on October 4, 1996.

     Pursuant to the terms of the First American plan of reorganization  and the
amended merger agreement,  the purchase price included contingent payments of up
to $155,000.  The merger agreement provided that the contingent payments will be
payable (1) if  legislation  is enacted that changes the Medicare  reimbursement
methodology  for  home  health  services  to  a  prospectively  determined  rate
methodology, in whole or in part, or (2) if, in respect to payments contingently
payable for any year through 2003, the percentage  increase  through 2004 in the
seasonally  unadjusted  Consumer  Price  Index for all Urban  Consumers  for the
Medical Care expenditure  category (the "Medical CPI") is less than 8%. With the
enactment of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which mandated the  implementation
of a  prospective  payment  system for  Medicare  home  health  nursing for cost
reporting periods beginning October 1, 1999 (subsequently extended to October 1,
2000)  the  contingent  payments  are  payable  on  February  14 of each year as
follows: $10,000 in 2000; $40,000 in 2001; $51,000 in 2002; $39,000 in 2003; and
$15,000  in 2004.  The  contingent  payments  are  payable  to the  Health  Care
Financing Administration ("HCFA") for $140,000 and to the former shareholders of
First American for $15,000.

     The contingent payments to HCFA and $95,000 of the cash purchase price paid
by the Company,  which was paid to HCFA, are in full settlement of HCFA's claims
made to the Bankruptcy Court related to First American's Medicare  reimbursement
claims  for all  periods  prior to the  petition  date and of any claims by HCFA
related  to First  American's  Medicare  reimbursement  claims  made  after  the
petition date through December 31, 1996.

     The  Company  has accrued  the  present  value of the  contingent  payments
payable to HCFA and the former shareholders of First American. The present value
of these  payments of $122,054 at December 31, 1998 and $131,654 at December 31,
1999 was  determined  using a  discount  rate of 8% per annum  from the dates of
payment.

     The  Company  subsequently  disposed  of  First  American  Health  Care  of
Georgia, Inc. See note 8.

UNFAVORABLE LEASES AND CONTRACTS

     In  connection  with certain  business  acquisitions,  the Company  assumed
certain  unfavorable  lease and other  contract  obligations.  Accordingly,  the
Company  recorded  approximately  $75,380  in  other  long-term  liabilities  in
accordance with Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 16 concerning  business
combinations

accounted  for by the purchase  method.  Such  obligations  relate  primarily to
certain   neuro-rehabilitation   facilities  in  Massachusettes   acquired  from
HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation on December 31, 1997. The value of the  obligations was
determined  based on the  present  value  of  amounts  to be  paid,  using a 10%
discount  rate.  With  respect  to the  leases  of real  estate,  the  Company's
valuation  is  based  on  estimates  of  fair  market  rentals  provided  by  an
independent  appraiser.   The  obligation  for  unfavorable  leases  is  payable
primarily  through 2005, and other contract  obligations  expire on December 31,
2000. The balance payable at December 31, 1998 and 1999 was $47,045 and $34,510,
respectively.

(11) LEASES

     The Company has entered into operating  leases as lessee of 227 health care
facilities and certain office facilities  expiring at various dates through July
2023. Minimum rent payments due under operating leases in effect at December 31,
1999 are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

     The Company also leases equipment under short-term  operating leases having
rentals of approximately $33,141 per year.

     The leases of health care facilities  generally provide renewal options for
various terms at fair market  rentals at the expiration of the initial term. The
Company  generally  has the  option or right of first  refusal to  purchase  the
facilities  at fair market value  determined  by  independent  appraisal  (or by
formula based upon the cash flow of the  facility,  as defined) or, with respect
to certain leases,  at a fixed price  representing  the fair market value at the
inception of the lease.  Under certain  default  conditions,  the Company may be
required to exercise the options to buy certain  facilities.  In connection with
51 leases the Company has paid purchase option deposits  aggregating  $54,868 at
December 31, 1999, of which $41,764 is refundable. Minimum rentals are generally
subject to  adjustment  based on the consumer  price index or the annual rate of
five year U.S.  Treasury  securities.  Also,  the leases  generally  provide for
contingent rentals,  based on gross revenues of the facilities in excess of base
year  amounts,   and  additional  rental  obligations  for  real  estate  taxes,
utilities, insurance and repairs. Contingent rentals were $2,744 in 1997, $2,778
in 1998 and $1,592 in 1999.

     On  December  1, 1999 the Company  entered  into a  synthetic  lease with a
special  purpose  entity  (SPE)  which was  formed  and  financed  by a group of
commercial  banks.  The SPE  developed and owns the buildings and land which the
Company uses for its headquarters  facility in Sparks,  Maryland.  For financial
statement purposes,  this lease has been treated as an operating lease.  Minimum
rent  under  this  lease is based on the  SPE's  total  facility  commitment  of
approximately  $59,993  and a  choice  of  various  LIBOR  rates  plus  a  fixed
percentage  ranging from 2.75% to 5.00% depending on the Company's ratio of debt
to earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation,  amortization and rent. Such
rental was $5,576 based on a rate of 9.3% at December 31, 1999.  As lessee,  the
Company  is also  responsible  for  real  estate  taxes,  utilities,  insurance,
maintenance and repairs,  and certain other costs. The lease will expire on July
1, 2003. Upon termination of the lease, the Company may be obligated for certain
residual  guarantee  payments  based  on the  value  of  the  property  and  the
outstanding amount of certain debt of the SPE at such date. However, the Company
has the right to purchase the  property  for an amount based on the  outstanding
balance of debt of the SPE.

(11) LEASES- (CONTINUED)

     The Company incurred rent expense of $74,355, $126,247 and $130,042 for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively.

(12) CAPITAL STOCK

     The Company is authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock
and 15,000,000  shares of preferred  stock. The Board of Directors is authorized
to issue  shares of preferred  stock in one or more series and to determine  and
fix the rights,  preferences and privileges of each series,  including  dividend
rights and preferences,  conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and
the terms of any sinking fund. The issuance of such preferred stock may have the
effect of delaying,  deferring or  preventing a change in control of the Company
without further action by the  stockholders  and may adversely affect the voting
and other rights of the holders of common  stock,  including  the loss of voting
control to others.  As of December  31,  1998 and 1999,  there were no shares of
preferred stock outstanding.

     IHS has  designated  750,000  shares of preferred  stock as Series A Junior
Participating  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,  $.01 par value per share.  The IHS
Stockholders'  Rights Plan ("IHS Rights Plan") provides that one preferred stock
purchase  right  ("Right")  will be issued  with each share of IHS common  stock
prior to the  earlier of (a) 10 days  following  a public  announcement  that an
individual  or group has  acquired  beneficial  ownership  of 20% or more of the
outstanding common stock or (b) 10 business days following the commencement of a
tender or exchange offer  resulting in the  beneficial  ownership by a person or
group of 20% or more of the outstanding  common stock.  When  exercisable,  each
Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from IHS one one-hundredth of a
share of Series A preferred stock at a price of $135.00 per one one-hundredth of
a share of Series A preferred stock, subject to adjustment.

     Series A preferred stock  purchasable  upon exercise of the Rights will not
be redeemable  and is junior to any other series of preferred  stock that may be
authorized and issued by IHS. In addition,  the Series A preferred  stockholders
will be entitled to the following:

o Minimum  preferential  quarterly  dividend  payment  of $1  per  share  and an
  aggregate  dividend  of 100 times the  dividend  declared  per share of common
  stock;

o Preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share and an aggregate payment of
  100 times the payment made per share of common stock;

o 100 votes per share, voting together with common stock;

o In the event of merger,  consolidation  or other  transaction  in which common
  stock is  exchanged,  each share of Series A preferred  stock will receive 100
  times the amount received per share of common stock.

These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions.

     The Company  declared a $0.02 per share cash dividend in 1997; none in 1998
and 1999.

</TABLE>

     The 1990 Employee  Stock Option Plan,  the 1992 Employee  Stock Option Plan
and the 1996  Employee  Stock Option Plan provide that options may be granted to
certain  employees  at a price per share not less than the fair market  value at
the date of grant.  In 1993, the Company  adopted the Senior  Executives'  Stock
Option Plan and the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, which provide for the issuance of
options  with terms  similar to the 1992 plan.  In  addition,  the  Company  has
adopted the 1995 Board of Director's Plan and a Stock Option  Compensation  Plan
for Non-Employee  Directors.  The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance
of  17,278,571  shares of Common  Stock under all plans.  Such options have been
granted with exercise  prices equal to or greater than the estimated fair market
value of the common  stock on the date of grant;  accordingly,  the  Company has
recorded no compensation  expense related to such grants.  The options'  maximum
term is 10 years.  Vesting for the 1990,  1992 and 1994  Employee  Stock  Option
Plans is over four to six years.  Vesting  for the 1996 Plan is over two to four
years.  Vesting  for the  Directors'  plans is one year after the date of grant.
Vesting  for the Senior  Executives'  Plan is  generally  over three  years.  In
addition, the Company provides an Employee Stock Purchase Plan whereby employees
have the right to  purchase  the  Company's  common  stock at 90% of the  quoted
market price, subject to certain limitations.

     Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

     The Company  applies APB No. 25 and related  interpretations  in accounting
for its  employee  stock  options and  warrants.  Accordingly,  no  compensation
expense has been  recognized in connection  with its employee  stock options and
warrants.  Had compensation expense for the Company's employee stock options and
warrants been  determined  consistent  with SFAS No. 123, the Company's loss and
loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

     The fair value of the employee options and warrants (including the Employee
Stock  Purchase  Plan)  for  purposes  of the above  pro  forma  disclosure  was
estimated on the date of grant or modification  using the  Black-Scholes  option
pricing model and the following assumptions:  a risk-free interest rate of 5.80%
in 1997, 4.65% in 1998, and 6.46% in 1999;  weighted average expected lives of 2
to 9 years for options and 6 months for the Employee Stock  Purchase Plan;  0.1%
dividend  yield and  volatility of 30.1% in 1997,  79.45% in 1998 and 296.13% in
1999.  The effects of  applying  SFAS No. 123 in the pro forma net loss and loss
per share may not be representative of the effects on such pro forma information
for  future  years.  In  December  1998,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  a
modification to the options  outstanding  under certain of the Company's  option
plans for certain  employees  which resulted in the change of the exercise price
to $10.25, the market price on the date of the modification,  for option holders
who chose to participate in the option  modification.  In order to  participate,
certain option holders were required to surrender two existing  options for each
modified  option.  The effect of this  modification has been included in the pro
forma loss and loss per share amounts  above.  In September  1997,  the Board of
Directors  authorized  a  modification  to the  options  outstanding  under  the
Company's option plans which resulted in a two year  acceleration of the options
held by senior and executive vice presidents.  Under SFAS 123, compensation cost
of $1,229 in 1997 is recognized  immediately for the vested options.  The effect
of this modification has been included in the pro forma per share amounts above.

     The  warrants  granted in 1997  consist  primarily  of warrants  granted to
Stephen P. Griggs,  the President of RoTech.  In connection with the acquisition
of RoTech and as a condition of his five-year employment  agreement,  Mr. Griggs
was issued  warrants to  purchase  750,000  shares of IHS Common  Stock at a per
share  exercise  price  equal to the average  closing  sales price of IHS Common
Stock for the 15  business  days prior to the  acquisition  closing  date.  Such
warrants vest at a rate of 20% per year beginning one year from the  acquisition
closing date. The warrants were granted in  consideration  of future services to
be rendered by Mr. Griggs. As such, the Company applied the guidance provided in
APB Opinion No. 25. Since the exercise  price of the warrants was equal,  on the
date of grant,  to the market value of the stock,  no  compensation  expense was
recognized  or  deferred.  In 1998,  the  exercise  price of these  warrants was
reduced from $33.16 to $10.63.

     In 1997,  1998 and 1999,  the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized the
repurchase  in the open market of up to $62,323 of the  Company's  Common Stock.
The purpose of the repurchase  program was to have available  treasury shares of
common stock to (i) satisfy  contingent  earn-out  payments under prior business
combinations accounted for by the purchase method, (ii) issue in connection with
acquisitions  and  (iii)  issue  upon  exercise  of  outstanding   options.  The
repurchases  were funded from cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of
the  Company's  debt  securities.  The Company  repurchased  548,500  shares for
$19,813 in 1997,  1,060,500  shares for $18,469 in 1998 and 3,607,000 shares for
$24,041 in 1999. In 1998, the Company reissued 658,824 shares and 347,700 shares
in connection  with funding the Company's  key employee  supplemental  executive
retirement  plans and  earn-out  payment,  respectively.  In 1999,  the  Company
cancelled the issuance of the 658,824  common shares of treasury stock issued to
fund the key employee supplemental  executive retirement plans, and reissued and
subsequently  cancelled  3,415,556 common shares of treasury stock in connection
with the employee deferred compensation plan.

(13) EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic EPS is  calculated  by dividing net  earnings  (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable  period.  Diluted
EPS is calculated after adjusting the numerator and the denominator of the basic
EPS  calculation  for  the  effect  of  all  potential  dilutive  common  shares
outstanding  during the period.  Information  related to the  calculation of net
earnings per share of common stock is summarized as follows:

     At  December   31,   1999,   certain   subsidiaries   of  the  Company  had
pre-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards available for Federal and state
income tax  purposes of  approximately  $72,010  which  expire in the years 2000
through  2009.  The  annual  utilization  of  these  net  operating  loss  (NOL)
carryforwards is subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.
Also, at December 31, 1999,  the Company has  consolidated  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  for  federal  and state  income  tax  purposes  of  approximately
$485,814  which expire in the years 2017 and 2019.  Realization  of net deferred
tax  assets  related  to the  Company's  NOL  carryforwards  and other  items is
dependent on future  earnings,  which are  uncertain.  Accordingly,  a valuation
allwance has been established  equal to deferred tax assets which are not likely
to be realized in the future,  resulting  in net  deferred  tax  liabilities  of
$42,023 and $41,355 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The change in
the  valuation  allowance  was an increase of $501,989  and $0 in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

(15) OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     IHS'  contingent   liabilities   (other  than  liabilities  in  respect  of
litigation  and  the  contingent  payments  in  respect  of the  First  American
acquisition)  aggregated  approximately $108,717 as of December 31, 1999. IHS is
required,  upon certain  defaults under the lease,  to purchase its Orange Hills
facility at a purchase  price  equal to the greater of $7,130 or the  facility's
fair market value. IHS has established  several  irrevocable  standby letters of
credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia and other  financial  institutions to secure
certain of IHS' self-insured workers' compensation obligations,  health benefits
and other obligations.  The maximum obligation was $31,934 at December 31, 1999.
In  addition,  IHS has several  surety  bonds in the amount of $69,683 to secure
certain  of the  Company's  health  benefits,  patient  trust  funds  and  other
obligations.  In addition,  with respect to certain  acquired  businesses IHS is
obligated  to make  certain  contingent  payments if  earnings  of the  acquired
business increase or earnings targets are met. In addition, IHS has future lease
obligations  aggregating  approximately $998,392 at December 31, 1999. (See note
11).

     IHS leases ten facilities from  Meditrust,  a  publicly-traded  real estate
investment trust. With respect to all the facilities leased from Meditrust,  IHS
is obligated to pay additional rent in an amount equal to a specified percentage
(generally  five percent) of the amount by which the  facility's  gross revenues
exceed a specified  amount  (generally  based on the  facility's  gross revenues
during its first year of  operation).  If an event of default  occurs  under any
Meditrust lease or any other agreement IHS has with Meditrust, Meditrust has the
right to require  IHS to  purchase  the leased  facility at a price equal to the
higher of the then  current  fair market  value of the  facility or the original
purchase  price of the facility  paid by Meditrust  plus (i) the cost of certain
capital expenditures paid for by Meditrust,  (ii) an adjustment for the increase
in the cost of living  index since the  commencement  of the lease and (iii) all
rent then due and payable  (all such  amounts to be  determined  pursuant to the
prescribed  formula contained in the lease).  In addition,  each Meditrust lease
provides that a default under any other  Meditrust  lease or any other agreement
IHS has with  Meditrust  constitutes  a  default  under  such  lease.  Upon such
default,  Meditrust  has the right to  terminate  the leases and to seek damages
based upon lost rent.

     The  Company  maintains  a  401(k)  plan  available  to  substantially  all
employees  who have been with the Company for more than six months.  In general,
employees may defer up to 20% of their salary  subject to the maximum  permitted
by law. The Company may make a matching contribution,  at its discretion,  equal
to a portion of the employee's contribution. Employee and employer contributions
are vested immediately.  The Company has made no contributions in 1997, 1998 and
1999.

     The Company also maintains supplemental executive retirement ("SERP") plans
for  certain  of its senior  officers.  At  December  31,  1998,  the SERP plans
consisted of two defined  contribution  plans and one defined  benefit plan. The
Company's chief executive officer is the sole participant in the defined benefit
plan. In 1999,  the Company  revoked prior year  contributions  of $3,000 to the
defined benefit plan and $4,000 to a defined  contribution plan, which were made
in Company  stock.  Also,  the  Company  elected to  terminate  the two  defined
contribution plans. Expenses recognized for the defined benefit plan were $2,080
in 1997, $1,097 in 1998, and $1,610 in 1999. Expenses recognized for the defined
contribution plans were $1,174 in 1997, $1,801 in 1998, and $1,665 in 1999.

     The  following   table  sets  forth  the  defined  benefit  plan's  benefit
obligations,  fair value of plan assets,  and funded status at December 31, 1998
and 1999.

</TABLE>

     The benefit obligation at December 31, 1999 is based on the assumption that
the  participant  will not retire or terminate  employment  for any reason until
June 5, 2005. If such events or a change of control of the Company occurred, the
plan's benefit obligation would increase and may produce a significant  increase
in accrued  pension  expense.  Such  obligation  will depend on age,  reason for
termination  and other factors.  The actuary's  estimate of the lump sum benefit
obligation,  in the event of a change of control at or within  twelve  months of
termination,  ranges  from  $27.6  million  to $32.2  million  at July 1,  2000,
decreasing  thereafter.  Such  estimated  obligation in the event of retirement,
termination,  death or disability  ranges from $13.0 to $16.3 million at July 1,
2000, increasing to $25.0 to $29.1 million at July 1, 2001.

     The Company is subject to workers' compensation and employee health benefit
claims,  which are primarily  self-insured;  however,  the Company does maintain
certain stop-loss and other insurance  coverage which management  believes to be
appropriate.  Provisions  for  estimated  settlements  relating to the  workers'
compensation  and health benefit plans are provided in the period of the related
claim on a case by case  basis  plus an amount  for  incurred  but not  reported
claims.  Differences between the amounts accrued and subsequent  settlements are
recorded in operations in the period of settlement.

(16) SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     See note 2 for information  concerning  significant  non-cash investing and
financing  activities  related  to  business  acquisitions  and note 20 for such
information  related to  non-recurring  charges for the years ended December 31,
1997,  1998,  and 1999.  Other  significant  non-cash  investing  and  financing
activities are as follows:

   o A decrease  in other  assets of $7,000  offset by an  increase  in Treasury
     stock of $9,569 and an increase in additional  paid in capital of $2,569 as
     a  result  of  the  reversal  of the  Company's  contribution  to  the  key
     supplemental executive retirement plan in 1999.

   o The sale of the infusion  business  unit in 1999 resulted in an increase to
     notes receivable of  approximately  $17,350 of which  approximately  $7,500
     remains classified in other assets at December 31, 1999.

   o The  Company  declared a cash  dividend,  which  resulted in  increases  in
     current liabilities offset by a decrease in earnings of $814 in 1997.

   o The sale of certain  non-strategic  assets (including assets held for sale)
     in 1998 resulted in an increase in notes receivable of approximately $7,000
     which is classified in other assets at December 31, 1998.

   o An increase in additional paid-in capital of $7,020 and $21,332 in 1997 and
     1998,  respectively,  resulted from the exercise of stock options under the
     Company's  various  plans,  which  increased  the  Company's  current taxes
     receivable by such amounts.

   o An increase in goodwill and other long-term  liabilities of $75,000 in 1997
     resulted  from the Company  recording  the present  value of the  remaining
     contingent payments to HCFA. (See note 10).

   o An increase in goodwill and  additional  paid in capital of $32,743 in 1998
     resulted  from the  Company's  recording of the value of 1,841,700  options
     issued in connection with the Rotech Medical Corporation acquisition.

     Cash  payments for  interest  were  $104,747 in 1997,  $209,013 in 1998 and
$286,687 in 1999.  Cash payments for income taxes were $24,971 in 1997,  $15,809
in 1998 and $26,427 in 1999.

(17) EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS

     In the third quarter of 1997, the Company  replaced its $700,000  revolving
credit facility with the $1,750,000 revolving credit and term loan facility (see
note 9). This event has been accounted for as an  extinguishment of debt and the
Company  has  recorded  a loss on  extinguishment  of debt of  $3,908,  relating
primarily to the write-off of deferred  financing costs.  Such loss,  reduced by
the  related  income tax effect of $1,524,  is  presented  in the  statement  of
operations as an extraordinary item of $2,384.

     In the  second  quarter of 1997,  the  Company  recorded a pre-tax  loss of
$29,782 representing (1) approximately  $23,600 of cash payments for pre-payment
premium and tender and consent fees relating to the early extinguishment of debt
resulting  from the  Company's  repurchase  pursuant  to cash  tender  offers of
$99,893 principal amount of the Company's $100,000 aggregate principal amount of
outstanding  10 3/4%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2004 and  $114,975  of the
Company's  $115,000  aggregate  principal  amount of  outstanding  9 5/8% Senior
Subordinated  Notes  due  2002  and (2)  approximately  $6,200  relating  to the
write-off of deferred  financing costs. Such loss, reduced by the related income
tax effect of  $11,614,  is  presented  in the  statement  of  operations  as an
extraordinary loss of $18,168.

     During 1999,  B&G Partners  Limited  Partnership  transferred 9 1/4% Senior
Notes, 10 1/4% Senior Notes and 5 3/4% Senior Debentures  (collectively referred
to as "Senior  Notes")  with a face value of  approximately  $3,345,  $6,050 and
$1,091,  respectively,  to IHS in full  satisfaction  of its  obligation  to the
Company  pursuant to a promissory  note dated December 10, 1993 in the amount of
$10,486. On the

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (CONTINUED)

(17) EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS - (CONTINUED)

date  of  transfer  to  IHS,  the  Senior  Notes  had a  fair  market  value  of
approximately  $1,291. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of
notes receivable, which has been reflected as a non-recurring charge, and a gain
on extinguishment of debt, which has been reflected as an extraordinary item, of
approximately $9,195 in the fourth quarter of 1999.

(18) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The  carrying  amount  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  patient  accounts
receivable,   other  current  assets,  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses
approximate fair value because of the short-term  maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of  temporary  investments  is estimated  based on quoted  market
prices for these or similar  investments.  The fair value of  third-party  payor
settlements receivable is estimated by discounting  anticipated cash flows using
estimated  market  discount  rates  to  reflect  the time  value  of  money  and
approximate  the carrying  amount.  Due to the  Company's  financial  condition,
management  of the Company  believes it is not  practical  to estimate  the fair
value  of  long  term  debt   instruments.   The  Company  has   investments  in
unconsolidated  affiliates described in note 4, which are untraded companies and
joint ventures.  The Company has notes receivable from unaffiliated  individuals
and  untraded  companies  totaling  $28,477 and $14,722 at December 31, 1998 and
1999,  respectively.  Also, the Company has purchase  option deposits of $71,415
and  $47,917 on 64 and 63 leased and  managed  facilities  of which  $46,411 and
$43,702 is  refundable  at  December  31, 1998 and 1999,  respectively,  and has
guaranteed  the  indebtedness  of  two  of  its  leased  facilities.  It is  not
practicable  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  these  investments,  notes  and
guarantees since they are not traded, no quoted values are readily available for
similar financial  instruments and the Company believes it is not cost-effective
to  have  valuations  performed.  However,  management  believes  that  adequate
provision  has  been  made for any  permanent  impairment  in the  value of such
investments  and that  there has been no  indication  of  probable  loss on such
guarantees.

(19) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Effective   January  1,  1999,   the  Company  and  various   wholly  owned
subsidiaries of the Company (the "Lyric Subsidiaries")  transferred 27 long-term
care facilities and five specialty  hospitals to Monarch Properties LP ("Monarch
LP") for  $138,000  plus  contingent  earn-out  payments  of up to a maximum  of
$67,600.  Net proceeds from the transaction  were  approximately  $131,239.  The
contingent  earn-out  payments  will be paid to the Company by Monarch LP upon a
sale,  transfer or  refinancing  of any or all of the facilities or upon a sale,
consolidation or merger of Monarch LP, with the amount of the earn-out  payments
determined in accordance  with a formula  described in the  Facilities  Purchase
Agreement among the Company,  the Lyric  Subsidiaries  and Monarch LP. After the
transfer  of the  facilities  to Monarch LP, the  Company  retained  the working
capital of the Lyric  subsidiaries  and transferred the stock of each of them to
Lyric.  Monarch  LP  then  leased  all  of the  facilities  back  to  the  Lyric
Subsidiaries  under the long-term master lease and the Company is managing these
facilities  for Lyric.  Dr.  Robert N.  Elkins,  Chairman  of the  Board,  Chief
Executive  Officer and  President  of the  Company,  beneficially  owns 28.6% of
Monarch LP and is the  Chairman of the Board of Managers of Monarch  Properties,
LLC,  the parent  company of Monarch  LP. The  Company  has  accounted  for this
transaction as a financing.

     On September 23, 1999, the Company  transferred its  Jacksonville,  Florida
nursing  facility  to Monarch  LP for net  proceeds  of $3,709.  Monarch LP then
leased this  facility to a subsidiary  of Lyric,  which the Company is currently
managing. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a financing.

     The   transactions   with  Monarch  LP  and  Lyric  were  approved  by  the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

     In 1998,  IHS began to manage  ten  facilities  leased  from a real  estate
investment  trust  by  Lyric,  an  entity  equally  owned  by IHS and an  entity
controlled by Timothy Nicholson, a director of the Company. Five facilities were
sold to the real  estate  investment  trust by IHS in each of January  and March
1998 (see note 4).

     Management  fee revenue  from Lyric was $2,830 in 1998 and $18,654 in 1999.
Rental revenue from Lyric was $14,261 in 1999 and interest expense to Monarch LP
was $12,571 in 1999.

     In December  1997,  the  Company  sold its  aircraft to RNE Skyview  LLC, a
limited  liability company in which Dr. Robert N. Elkins,  IHS' chairman,  chief
executive officer and president,  is the sole member, and simultaneously entered
into a lease  agreement  for such aircraft with RNE Skyview LLC. No gain or loss
was recorded on the sale.

     In September 1997, the Company  purchased the Naples,  Florida residence of
Lawrence  P. Cirka,  the former  President  of the  Company,  for  approximately
$4,800.  During 1998, Mr. Cirka  repurchased the residence from the Company.  No
gain or loss resulted from this transaction.

     In September  1997,  the Company  acquired  through a cash tender offer and
subsequent  merger Community Care of America,  Inc. ("CCA") for a purchase price
of $4.00 per share, for an aggregate of $34,300. Dr. Robert N. Elkins, chairman,
chief executive officer and president of the Company,  was a director of CCA and
beneficially  owned  approximately  21% of CCA's shares,  and John Silverman,  a
director and at the time an employee of the  Company,  was chairman of the board
of  directors of CCA. In December  1996,  the Company  loaned  $2,000 to CCA and
received a  management  agreement  and  warrants to purchase up to 9.9% of CCA's
common stock at a price of $3.25 per share. The loan bore interest at the annual
rate of interest set forth in the Company's  revolving  credit agreement plus 2%
and was due on December 27, 1998.

     In  October  1996,  the  Company  loaned  $3,445  to,   Integrated   Living
Communities,  Inc. ("ILC"),  the Company's  assisted living subsidiary (see note
20);  ILC  repaid  the loan in 1997.  Dr.  Robert  N.  Elkins,  chairman,  chief
executive  officer and  president of the  Company,  was chairman of the board of
directors  of ILC and  Lawrence  P.  Cirka,  at the  time  president  and  chief
operating officer of the Company, was a director of ILC.

     In April 1993, a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company  acquired a 21.28%
interest  in the  common  stock  and a  47.64%  interest  in  the 6%  cumulative
preferred  stock of Speciality Care PLC, an owner and operator of geriatric care
facilities  in the United  Kingdom.  In 1995 the Company  invested an additional
$4,384  in  Speciality  Care  PLC.  As a  result  of  the  Company's  additional
investment,  the Company had a 21.3%  interest in the Common  Stock and a 63.65%
interest in the 6% cumulative  convertible  preferred  stock.  Robert N. Elkins,
chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of the Company, was
a director and  stockholder  of Speciality  Care PLC, and Timothy  Nicholson,  a
director of the Company,  was chairman,  managing  director and  stockholder  of
Speciality  Care PLC. In  connection  with the sale and as  discussed in note 4,
shareholders  of Speciality  Care PLC received  outstanding  ordinary  shares of
Craegmoor.  IHS now owns less  than 10% of the  outstanding  ordinary  shares of
Craegmoor.  The Company's  investment in Craegmoor at December 31, 1998 and 1999
was $6,716 and $3,358, respectively. (See note 4).

     In 1999,  the Company  adopted an Employee  Loan Plan (the "Loan  Plan") to
assist the Company in retaining its senior  management  on a long-term  basis in
light of the significantly  reduced stock price and loss of equity incentives by
such executives and to encourage stock ownership by senior management. Under the
Loan Plan,  the  Company  loaned an  aggregate  of $25.0  million to 27 officers
holding  the title of senior vice  president  or above to enable them to acquire
and hold shares of common stock. The Loan Plan provides that each loan will bear
interest at a rate of 7% per annum,  with  interest only being paid at maturity,
and have a  maturity  date five years  after the date of the loan.  Each loan is
unsecured. In order to encourage the borrowers to remain with the Company and to
reduce or eliminate the pressure to sell common stock upon maturity of the loan,
the Loan Plan  provides  that 20% of  principal  and  accrued  interest  will be
forgiven  on the  second,  third  and  fourth  anniversaries  of the date of the
borrowing if the borrower is still  employed by the Company,  and the  remainder
will be forgiven on the fifth  anniversary  if the borrower is still employed by
the Company.  The Company has the right under certain  circumstances  to require
that a participant immediately repay any amounts outstanding under the Loan Plan
if such participant's employment with the Company terminates.

(19) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - (CONTINUED)

     Prior to 1999,  the Company had loaned Dr. Robert N. Elkins,  IHS' chairman
and chief executive officer,  approximately $29 million (the "Prior Loans"). Dr.
Elkins  used the cash  proceeds  from the loans to purchase  stock,  to exercise
stock options and to pay taxes  associated with option  exercises.  In addition,
the Company had made loans to members of senior  management in order to purchase
stock in the open market and/or to exercise stock options. Such loans aggregated
approximately $3.8 million.

     In July 1999, a loan to Dr.  Elkins of $15.5 million was amended to reflect
the  forgiveness of $4.2 million of principal and accrued  interest and to amend
the schedule for forgiveness so that the remaining principal balance of the loan
of $11.8 million will be automatically  forgiven at 25% per year,  provided that
Dr. Elkins remains a full-time active employee of the Company, beginning in July
2000,  rather than at a rate of 20% per year beginning in January 1999 (pursuant
to the loan agreements  approved in 1997). Also, loans aggregating $13.2 million
were amended, reflecting foregiveness of principal of $0.3 million (plus accrued
interest) and providing for automatic forgiveness on terms identical to the Loan
Plan described above.

     The Loan  Plan  and the  Prior  Loans as  amended  in 1999 are  treated  as
deferred  compensation  costs and are amortized over the terms of the loans on a
straight-line  basis.  Compensation  expense,  reflecting  the  amortization  of
deferred  compensation  costs as well as the forgiveness of the Prior Loans, was
$15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.

(20) NON-RECURRING CHARGES

     Non-recurring charges in 1999 are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

     As mentioned in previous reports, the Company has continued to evaluate the
impact of the 1997 Balanced  Budget Act (BBA) upon future  operating  results of
each business line,  particularly  the impact of the prospective  payment system
(PPS).  Utilizing the Company's  experience with PPS since January 1, 1999 (June
1, 1999 with  respect  to the  Horizon  facilities),  the  Company  performed  a
preliminary  analysis of such impact in the third quarter of 1999. PPS has had a
dramatic impact on the operating results and financial condition of the Company.
The PPS system has significantly  reduced the revenues,  cash flow and liquidity
of the Company and the industry in 1999.  As a result of the negative  impact of
the provisions of PPS and the loss incurred on the sale of the infusion business
unit, the Company applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 in
the third  quarter  of 1999.  In  accordance  with  SFAS No.  121,  the  Company
estimated the future cash flows  expected to result from those assets to be held
and used.

     In  estimating  the future cash flows for  determining  whether an asset is
impaired,  and if  expected  future  cash  flows  used in  measuring  assets are
impaired, the Company grouped its assets at the lowest level for which there are
identifiable cash flows independent of other groups of assets. These levels were
each  of  the   individual   nursing/subacute   facilities,   and  each  of  the
rehabilitative therapy,  respiratory therapy, pharmacy,  diagnostics and hospice
business units.

     After  determining the facilities and divisions  eligible for an impairment
charge,  the Company  determined the estimated fair value of such facilities and
divisions.   The  carrying  value  of  buildings  and  improvements,   leasehold
improvements,  equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets exceeded the fair
value by $1.64 billion (of which $1.26 billion represented  goodwill).  The loss
on  impairment  applied  to  the  following  business  units:   nursing/subacute
facilities of $951,306,  rehabilitative therapy of $402,059, respiratory therapy
of $26,195, diagnostic of $143,417, and lithotripsy of $118,510.

     On October 1, 1999,  the Company  sold its  infusion  business  unit to APS
Enterprises  Holding  Company  ("APS") for a purchase price of $17,350 and a 20%
equity interest in APS valued at one dollar. The Company had determined that the
business was  significantly  impaired due to decreasing  demand for the products
and services offered. The Company recorded a pretax loss of $383,846 in 1999.

     In 1999, the Company  recorded a $21,754 charge to exit certain  diagnostic
businesses of Symphony.

     The  Company  recorded  a  $10,865  loss as a result of the  conversion  of
computer systems,  the termination of certain systems  development  projects and
related relocation costs.

     On October 19, 1999 the  Company  suspended  its efforts to sell its Rotech
division.  The Company had incurred  significant costs in legal,  consulting and
accounting fees related to this transaction of approximately  $7,020. Such costs
were not considered recoverable and were written off in 1999.

     In October 1999, B&G Partners Limited Partnership transferred 9 1/4% Senior
Notes, 10 1/4% Senior Notes and 5 3/4% Senior Debentures  (collectively referred
to as "Senior Notes") with a face value of approximately $3,345, $6,050, $1,091,
respectively,  to IHS in satisfaction of its obligation to the Company  pursuant
to a promissory  note dated  December 10, 1993 in the amount of $10,486.  On the
date  of  transfer  to  IHS,  the  Senior  Notes  had a  fair  market  value  of
approximately  $1,291. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of
notes receivable, which has been reflected as a non-recurring charge, and a gain
on extinguishment of debt, which has been reflected as an extraordinary item, of
approximately $9,195 in the fourth quarter of 1999.

     Non-recurring charges in 1997 are summarized as follows:

     On July 30,  1996,  the  Company  sold its  pharmacy  division  to Capstone
Pharmacy  Services,   Inc.  ("Capstone")  for  a  purchase  price  of  $150,000,
consisting of cash of $125,000 and unregistered  shares of Capstone common stock
having a value of approximately $25,000. The Company had determined that its

ownership  of  pharmacy  operations  is  not  critical  to the  development  and
implementation of its post-acute care network strategy. As a result of the sale,
the Company  recorded a $34,298  pre-tax  gain ($298 gain after  income  taxes).
Because IHS's  investment  in the pharmacy  division had a very small tax basis,
the  taxable  gain on the sale  significantly  exceeded  the gain for  financial
reporting purposes,  thereby resulting in a disproportionately higher income tax
provision  related to the sale (see note 14). The Capstone common stock received
in the sale was  recorded at its  carryover  cost of  $14,659.  During the first
quarter  of 1997,  the  Company  recorded  the  remaining  gain of $7,580 on its
investment in the Capstone shares when such shares were registered.  Previously,
such  gain  was  accounted  for as an  unrealized  gain on  available  for  sale
securities.

     On October 9, 1996,  ILC, a wholly owned  subsidiary  of IHS,  completed an
initial public offering of ILC common stock. The Company had determined that the
direct  operation  of  assisted-living  communities  is  not  required  for  its
post-acute  care  network  strategy.  In  connection  with the ILC  offering the
Company sold 1,400,000 of ILC common stock and recorded a $8,497 loss. Following
the offering, the Company continued to own 2,497,900 shares of ILC Common Stock,
representing  37.3% of the outstanding ILC common stock. In the third quarter of
1997,  the Company sold its  remaining  interest in ILC. The sale  resulted in a
non-recurring gain of $3,914.

     On October 19, 1996, the Company and Coram Healthcare Corporation ("Coram")
entered into a definitive  agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement")
providing for the merger of a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS into Coram,  with
Coram becoming a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS. Under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, holders of Coram common stock were to receive for each share of Coram
common stock 0.2111 of a share of the Company's common stock, and IHS would have
assumed approximately  $375,000 of indebtedness.  On April 4, 1997, IHS notified
Coram that it had exercised its rights to terminate  the Merger  Agreement.  IHS
also  terminated  the March 30, 1997 letter  amendment,  setting forth  proposed
revisions to the terms of the merger (which included a reduction in the exchange
ratio to 0.15 of a share of IHS  common  stock  for each  share of Coram  common
stock),  prior to the revisions  becoming  effective at the close of business on
April 4, 1997. On May 5, 1997, IHS and Coram entered into a settlement agreement
pursuant  to which the  Company  paid Coram  $21,000 in full  settlement  of all
claims Coram might have against IHS pursuant to the Merger Agreement,  which the
Company recognized as a non-recurring charge in the second quarter. In addition,
during the first quarter the Company  incurred a non-recurring  charge of $6,555
relating to accounting, legal and other costs related to the merger.

     In September 1997, the Company  recorded a  non-recurring  charge of $4,750
resulting from termination payments in connection with its fourth quarter merger
with RoTech Medical Corporation.

     In connection with the consummation of certain recent acquisitions, IHS has
incurred  costs to  discontinue  or  dispose of  certain  activities  previously
performed by the Company.  In addition,  the Company has elected to exit certain
activities  acquired over the past several years that are no longer considered a
part of core operations. Such businesses include physician practices, outpatient
clinics,  selected nursing facilities in non-strategic markets and international
investment and development activities.

     In the fourth  quarter of 1997, IHS recorded a $3,700 charge to exit eleven
California  nursing  facilities under management.  The components of this charge
were to write-off the following  assets:  a $602  management fee  receivable,  a
$2,250 purchase option deposit, a $550 cash advance for capital improvements and
other  working  capital   requirements  of  the  owner,  and  $298  in  deferred
acquisition costs.

     In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company incurred other costs of $12,604,
which included:  (i) $1,300 in termination  and severance costs  associated with
the sale of outpatient and physician practices, (ii) $1,100 in lease termination
costs  associated  with the sale of outpatient  and physician  practices,  (iii)
$3,800 in investments and loans related to other start-up joint  ventures,  (iv)
$3,500 in obsolete information systems for acquisitions completed prior to 1997,
(v) $975 prior owner  litigation  settlements  subsequent  to one year after the
acquisition  date,  (vi) $970 in lease  termination  costs  associated  with the
closing of six mobile diagnostic  locations in non-strategic  markets, and (vii)
$959 in other miscellaneous charges.

(21) CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE

     In November 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached consensus
on Issue  97-13  concerning  costs of projects  that  combine  business  process
reengineering and information  technology  transformation.  EITF Issue 97-13 now
requires that certain costs of business  process  reengineering  and information
technology  projects be expensed as incurred.  These costs include costs related
to the formulation,  evaluation and selection of alternative software,  costs of
the determination of needed technology,  certain data conversion costs, training
costs and  post-implementation  application  maintenance  and support costs.  In
accordance  with EITF Issue  97-13,  the  unamortized  balance of these costs of
$3,000  was  written-off  in the  fourth  quarter  of 1997 and  reported  as the
cumulative  effect of a change in accounting  principle  (net of income taxes of
$1,170) of $1,830.

(22) CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

     The  following  information  is  provided  in  accordance  with  the  AICPA
Statement  of  Position  No.  94-6, "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and
Uncertainties."

     The Company and others in the  healthcare  business  are subject to certain
inherent risks, including the following:

   o Substantial  dependence  on  revenues  derived  from  reimbursement  by the
     Federal  Medicare and state Medicaid  programs which have been  drastically
     cut in recent years and which entail exposure to various  healthcare  fraud
     statutes;

   o Government  regulations,  government  budgetary  constraints  and  proposed
     legislative and regulatory changes; and

   o Lawsuits alleging malpractice and related claims.

     Such inherent risks require the use of certain management  estimates in the
preparation of the Company's financial  statements and it is reasonably possible
that a change in such estimates may occur.

     The Company receives payment for a significant portion of services rendered
to patients from the Federal  government  under  Medicare and from the states in
which its facilities and/or services are located under Medicaid. Revenue derived
from  Medicare and various state  Medicaid  reimbursement  programs  represented
27.4% and 33.7%,  respectively,  of the Company's  patient  revenue for the year
ended  December 31, 1999.  The Company's  operations are subject to a variety of
Federal,   state  and  local  legal  and  regulatory  risks,  including  without
limitation the federal  Anti-Kickback  statute and the federal Ethics in Patient
Referral Act  (so-called  "Stark  Law"),  many of which apply to  virtually  all
companies  engaged in the  health  care  services  industry.  The  Anti-Kickback
statute  prohibits,  among other things,  the offer,  payment,  solicitation  or
receipt of any form of  remuneration  in return for the referral of Medicare and
Medicaid patients. The Stark Law prohibits,  with limited exceptions,  financial
relationships  between  ancillary  service  providers and referring  physicians.
Other regulatory risks assumed by the Company and other companies engaged in the
health care industry are as follows:

   o  False  Claims  --  "Operation   Restore  Trust"  is  a  major   anti-fraud
      demonstration  project of the Office of the Inspector General. The primary
      purpose for the project is to  scrutinize  the  activities  of  healthcare
      providers which are reimbursed  under the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.
      False claims are  prohibited  pursuant to criminal and civil  statutes and
      are punishable by imprisonment and monetary penalties.

   o  Regulatory Requirement  Deficiencies -- In the ordinary course of business
      health care  facilities  receive  notices of  deficiencies  for failure to
      comply with various regulatory requirements.  In some cases, the reviewing
      agency  may  take  adverse  actions  against  a  facility,  including  the
      imposition  of fines,  temporary  suspension of admission of new patients,
      suspension  or  decertification  from  participation  in the  Medicare and
      Medicaid  programs  and,  in extreme  cases,  revocation  of a  facility's
      license.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (CONTINUED)

(22) CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - (CONTINUED)

   o  Changes in laws and regulations -- Changes in laws and  regulations  could
      have a material adverse effect on licensure, eligibility for participation
      in government programs,  permissable  activities,  operating costs and the
      levels of reimbursement from governmental and other sources.

     In response to the  aforementioned  regulatory  risks, the Company formed a
Corporate  Compliance  Department  in 1996 to help  identify,  prevent and deter
instances of Medicare and Medicaid  noncompliance.  Although the Company strives
to manage these regulatory risks,  there can be no assurance that federal and/or
state  regulatory   agencies  that  currently  have  jurisdiction  over  matters
including,   without  limitation,   Medicare,   Medicaid  and  other  government
reimbursement  programs,  will take the position that the Company's business and
operations are in compliance  with  applicable law or with the standards of such
regulatory agencies.

     In some cases,  violation of such applicable law or regulatory standards by
the Company can carry significant civil and criminal penalties and can give rise
to qui tam litigation. In this connection, the Company is a defendant in certain
actions or the subject of investigations  concerning  alleged  violations of the
False  Claims  Act or of  Medicare  regulations.  As a result  of the  Company's
financial  position during the fourth quarter of 1999,  various  agencies of the
federal government  accelerated efforts to reach a resolution of all outstanding
claims and issues  related to the  Company's  alleged  violation  of  healthcare
statutes and related causes of action.  These matters involve various government
claims,  many of which are of  unspecified  amounts.  Because  the  government's
review of these matters has not been  completed,  management is unable to assess
fully the merits of the  government's  monetary  claims.  Based on a preliminary
evaluation of the government's estimable claims for which an unfavorable outcome
is probable, the Company recorded a $39,500 accrued liability for such claims as
of December 31, 1999.  However,  the  ultimate  amount of any future  settlement
could differ significantly from such provision.

     The  Balanced  Budget  Act of 1997  (BBA),  enacted  in August  1997,  made
numerous  changes to the Medicare and Medicaid  programs that are  significantly
affecting the Company. With respect to Medicare,  the BBA provides,  among other
things,  for a prospective  payment  system for skilled  nursing  facilities and
reductions in reimbursement for oxygen and oxygen equipment for home respiratory
therapy.  As a result,  in 1999 the Company bore the cost risk of providing care
inasmuch as it receives specified reimbursement for each treatment regardless of
actual  cost.  With  respect to Medicaid,  the BBA repeals the  so-called  Boren
Amendment,   which  required  state  Medicaid   programs  to  reimburse  nursing
facilities  for the costs that are  incurred  by  efficiently  and  economically
operated  providers in order to meet quality and safety standards.  As a result,
states now have considerable  flexibility in establishing  payment rates and the
Company believes many states are moving toward a prospective payment type system
for skilled nursing facilities.

     The BBA mandates the establishment of a prospective  payment system ("PPS")
for Medicare skilled nursing facility services,  under which facilities are paid
a fixed fee for  virtually all covered  services.  PPS is being phased in over a
four-year  period,  effective  January 1, 1999 for IHS' owned and leased skilled
nursing  facilities  other  than  the  facilities  acquired  in the  HEALTHSOUTH
acquisition,  which became subject to PPS on June 1, 1999.  Prospective  payment
for  facilities  managed  by IHS  became  effective  for  each  facility  at the
beginning of its first cost  reporting  period on or after July 1, 1998.  During
the  first  three  years,  payments  will be based on a blend of the  facility's
historical costs and federal costs. Thereafter, the per diem rates will be based
100% on federal costs.  Under PPS, each patient's  clinical  status is evaluated
and placed into a payment category.  The patient's payment category dictates the
amount that the provider  will receive to care for the patient on a daily basis.
The per diem rate covers (i) all routine  inpatient  costs  currently paid under
Medicare Part A, (ii) certain  ancillary and other items and services  currently
covered  separately under Medicare Part B on a  "pass-through"  basis, and (iii)
certain  capital costs.  The Company's  ability to offer the ancillary  services
required by higher acuity patients, such as those in its subacute care programs,
in a  cost-effective  manner  will  continue  to be  critical  to the  Company's
services and will affect the profitability of the Company's  Medicare  patients.
To date the per diem reimbursement rates have generally been significantly

less than the amount the  Company  received  on a daily  basis  under cost based
reimbursement,  particularly in the case of higher acuity patients. As a result,
PPS has  had a  material  adverse  impact  on IHS'  results  of  operations  and
financial condition (see note 1).

     The Company is also subject to malpractice and related claims,  which arise
in the normal  course of business and which could have a  significant  effect on
the Company.  As a result,  the Company maintains  occurrence basis professional
and general  liability  insurance with coverage and deductibles which management
believes to be appropriate.

     The  Company  is also  subject  to certain  inherent  risks  related to the
acquisition  of businesses.  Since its inception,  the Company has grown through
acquisitions,  and realization of acquisition costs, including intangible assets
of businesses  acquired,  is dependent  initially upon the  consummation  of the
acquisitions  and  subsequently  upon  the  Company's  ability  to  successfully
integrate and manage acquired operations.

     The Company believes that adequate provision for the  aforementioned  items
has been made in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements and that
their ultimate  resolution will not have a material  effect on the  consolidated
financial statements.

(23) SEGMENT REPORTING

     In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  131,  Disclosures  about  Segments  of an
Enterprise and Related Information.  SFAS No. 131 establishes  standards for the
way  public  business  enterprises  are to report  information  about  operating
segments in annual and interm financial  statements  issued to shareholders.  It
also establishes  standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers.

     After  giving  effect  to the  discontinuance  of its home  health  nursing
segment,  IHS has four primary reportable  segments:  Inpatient  Services,  Home
Respiratory/Infusion/DME,   Diagnostic   Services  and   Lithotripsy   Services.
Inpatient services include: (A) inpatient facilities which provide basic medical
services primarily on an inpatient basis at skilled nursing facilities,  as well
as hospice  services,  (B) contract  services  which provide  specialty  medical
services  (e.g.,  rehabilitation  and  respiratory  services),  primarily  on an
inpatient basis at skilled  nursing  facilities,  (C) contracted  services which
provide specialty medical services under contract to other healthcare providers,
and (D) management of skilled nursing  facilities  owned by third parties.  Home
Respiratory/Infusion/DME  provides  respiratory and infusion therapy, as well as
the sale and/or rental of home medical  equipment.  Diagnostic  Services provide
mobile x-ray and  electrocardiogram  services on an  inpatient  basis at skilled
nursing facilities.  Lithotripsy Services is a non-invasive  technique that uses
shock waves to  disintegrate  kidney stones  primarily on an  outpatient  basis.
Certain  services with similar  economic  characteristics  have been  aggregated
pursuant to SFAS No. 131. No other  individual  business segment exceeds the 10%
quantitative thresholds of SFAS No. 131.

(24) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities.  This statement
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,
including   certain   derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other  contracts,
(collectively  referred  to as  derivatives)  and  for  hedging  activities.  It
requires  that  an  entity   recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets  or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  The  accounting  for  changes in the fair value of a  derivative
depends on the intended use of the derivative

and the resulting  designation.  If certain conditions are met, a derivative may
be  specifically  designated  as (a) a hedge of  exposure to changes in the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b)
a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted  transaction,  or
(c) a hedge of foreign  currency  exposures.  In 1999, the Financial  Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,  Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133. The purpose
of this  statement is to delay the effective  date of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 137
states that SFAS No. 133 will be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years  beginning  after June 15,  2000.  The  adoption of this  statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

     In March 1998 the Accounting  Standards Executive Committee ("ASEC") of the
American  Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
98-1,  Accounting for the Costs of Computer  Software  Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use ("SOP  98-1").  SOP 98-1  provides  guidance as to whether  certain
costs for internal use software should be capitalized or expensed when incurred.
In addition,  in June 1998 the ASEC issued Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting
on the Costs of Start-up  Activities ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 provides guidance on
the  financial  reporting  of  start-up  costs.  It  requires  costs of start-up
activities to be expensed as incurred.  SOP 98-1 and 98-5 are effective in 1999.
The  adoption  of SOP  98-1 and 98-5 had no  material  impact  on the  financial
statements.

(25) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On February 2, 2000, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries,
filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware  under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C.  (S)(S) 101, et
seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code").  While this action constituted a default under the
Company's and such subsidiaries various financing  arrangements,  Section 362 of
the Bankruptcy  Code imposes an automatic stay that will generally  preclude the
creditors and other interested  parties under such  arrangements from taking any
remedial  action  in  response  to any  such  resulting  default  without  prior
Bankruptcy  Court  approval.  The Company's need to seek relief  afforded by the
Bankruptcy Code is due, in part, to the significant  financial  pressure created
by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and its implementation.

     In  connection  with the Chapter 11 Filings,  the  Company  entered  into a
secured  super-priority  debtor-in-possession  revolving credit agreement with a
group of banks led by  Citicorp  USA,  Inc.,  N.A.  to obtain up to  $300,000 of
debtor-in-possession  financing  (the  "DIP  Facility")  to fund  the  Company's
operations.  On March 6,  2000,  the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Court  for the
District of Delaware  approved the full $300,000 DIP Facility.  The DIP Facility
matures on March 6, 2002.  The DIP Facility  provides for maximum  borrowings by
the Company equal to the sum of (i) up to 85% of the then  outstanding  domestic
eligible accounts receivable (other than Medicaid accounts receivable), (ii) the
lesser of $40 million or 85% of eligible Medicaid accounts receivable, (iii) the
lesser of $25 million and 40% of the orderly  liquidation value of eligible real
estate,  (iv) 100% of cash and 95% of cash equivalents on deposit or held in the
Citibank  collateral  account and (v) the  adjusted  earnings  before  interest,
taxes,  depreciation  and  amortization  ("EBITDA")  of RoTech  for the two most
recent fiscal quarters up to a maximum of $150 million through May 3, 2000, $125
million from May 4, 2000 through August 2, 2000 and $100 million thereafter. The
DIP financing agreement  significantly limits IHS' ability to incur indebtedness
or contingent obligations,  to make additional acquisitions,  to sell or dispose
of assets,  to create or incur liens on assets, to pay dividends and to merge or
consolidate with any other person.  Pursuant to the DIP Facility advances to the
Company  are  classified  as either  swing  line or  revolving  credit  facility
advances. Swing line advances are considered to be Base Rate advances as defined
by the  agreement.  Revolving  credit  advances  consist of either  Base Rate or
Eurodollar Rate advances.  As described below Base Rate and Eurodollar  advances
bear interest at different rates.

     The DIP Facility  bears  interest on Base Rate advances at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of (1) the rate of interest  announced publicly by Citibank
in New York, New York from time to time, as Citibank's base rate, (2) the sum of
0.5% per annum plus a weighted average of the rates on overnight

Federal  funds  transactions  ("Federal  Funds Rate") or (3) the sum of 0.5% per
annum plus (i) the rate per annum obtained by dividing (a) the latest three-week
moving average of secondary  market morning  offering rates in the United States
for three-month certificates of deposit, by (b) a percentage equal to 100% minus
the average of the daily percentages  specified during such three-week period by
the Federal Reserve Board for  determining  the maximum reserve  requirement for
Citibank in respect to liabilities  consisting of or including  three-month U.S.
dollar  nonpersonal  time deposits in the United  States,  plus (ii) the average
during  such  three-week  period of the  maximum  annual  assessment  payable by
Citibank  to the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  for  insuring  dollar
deposits in the United States.

     The DIP Facility bears  interest on Eurodollar  Rate advances at a rate per
annum equal to the interest rate per annum equal to the displayed  rate at 11:00
am (London time) two business days before the first day of such interest  period
on Telerate page 3750 for deposits in dollars in an amount  substantially  equal
to the Eurodollar  Rate advance and for a period equal to such interest  period.
To the extent that such interest rate is not available on the Telerate  Service,
the Eurodollar  Rate for any interest  period for each  Eurodollar  Rate advance
shall be an  interest  rate  per  annum  equal  to the  rate per  annum at which
deposits in dollars are offered by the principal office of Citibank in London to
prime  banks  in  the  interbank   market  for  dollar   deposits  at  11:00  am
substantially  equal to Citibank's  Eurodollar  Rate Advance  comprising part of
such revolving  credit facility  advance and for a period equal to such interest
period. As described in the DIP Facility agreement, Eurodollar Rate advances are
subject  to  additional  interest  at a rate per  annum  equal to the  remainder
obtained by subtracting  (1) the Eurodollar  Rate for such interest  period from
(2) the rate determined by dividing such  Eurodollar Rate by a percentage  equal
to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve for such lenders.

     The DIP  Facility  also  provides for a letter of credit  subfacility  ("LC
Subfacility").  The LC  Subfacility  provides  for the  issuance  of one or more
letters  of  credit  subject  to  certain  conditions  as set  forth  in the DIP
Facility.

     The  obligations  of the  Company  under the DIP  Facility  are jointly and
severally  guaranteed by each of the Company's filing  subsidiaries (the "Filing
Subsidiaries").  Pursuant to the  agreement,  the Company and each of its Filing
Subsidiaries  have  granted to the lenders  first  priority  liens and  security
interests  (subject to valid,  perfected,  enforceable and nonavoidable liens of
record existing  immediately  prior to the petition date and other exceptions as
described in the DIP Facility) in all of the Company's assets including, but not
limited to, all accounts,  chattel paper,  contracts and  documents,  equipment,
inventory, intangibles, real property, bank accounts and investment property.

     The  DIP  Facility  contains  customary  representations,   warranties  and
covenants of the Company,  as well as certain  financial  covenants  relating to
minimum  EBITDA and capital  expenditures.  The breach of such  representations,
warranties or covenants, to the extent not waived or cured within any applicable
grace or cure  periods,  could  result  in the  Company  being  unable to obtain
further advances under the DIP Facility and possibly the exercise of remedies by
the DIP Facility  lenders,  either of which events could  materially  impair the
ability of the Company to successfully reorganize under Chapter 11.

     Mr.  Silverman  is  a  director of Superior Consultant Holdings Corporation
and MHM Services, Inc.

     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the Board of Directors held
thirteen  meetings (six of which were  regularly  scheduled  meetings) and acted
three times by unanimous  written  consent in lieu of a meeting.  Each  director
attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors  held and of all
committees of the Board of Directors on which he served while he was director of
the Company.

     In September 1990, the Board of Directors established an Audit Committee to
review the internal accounting procedures of the Company and to consult with and
review the  Company's  independent  auditors and the  services  provided by such
auditors.  Messrs. Mazik and John Silverman are the current members of the Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee met 3 times in 1999.

     In  September  1990,  the Board of  Directors  formed the Stock Option Plan
Committee to administer  the Company's  stock option  plans.  In July 1992,  the
Board of Directors formed the Executive Compensation Committee to administer the
Company's executive  compensation policies. In July 1993, the Board of Directors
merged the Executive  Compensation Committee and the Stock Option Plan Committee
to  form  the  Compensation  and  Stock  Option  Committee,  which  took  on the
responsibilities previously held by its predecessor committees. Mr. Mazik is the
current member of this committee.  The  Compensation  and Stock Option Committee
held two meetings and acted two times by unanimous  written consent in lieu of a
meeting in 1999.

     On February 1, 1996, the Board of Directors formed the Finance Committee to
oversee the treasury  operations  and  supervise  the  financial  affairs of the
Company and approve debt offerings and matters relating to the Company's line of
credit. Mr. Mazik is the current member of this committee. The Finance Committee
held one meeting in 1999.

     On July 24, 1997, the Board of Directors formed the Acquisitions  Committee
to approve  transactions  for the  acquisition  or disposition by the Company of
assets  or  businesses  in which the  consideration  paid or  received  includes
capital  stock  of the  Company  or the  purchaser,  respectively,  without  the
necessity for further Board  approval,  as long as (i) the  consideration  to be
paid or received  by the  Company in  connection  with any such  acquisition  or
disposition does not exceed $50 million and (ii) the aggregate  consideration to
be paid or  received by the  Company in any  calendar  year does not exceed $300
million.  In March 2000 the amount of  consideration  was reduced to $5 million.
Messrs.  Elkins and  Mitchell  are the current  members of this  committee.  The
Acquisitions Committee held no meetings in 1999.

     On  November  8, 1999 the Board of  Directors  appointed  Mr.  Mitchell  to
monitor the Company's  efforts to restructure its debt obligations and regularly
advise members of the Board regarding the status of the restructuring.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     Directors  currently  receive  $5,000 per regularly  scheduled  meeting and
$1,250 per special meeting and committee  meetings for services provided in that
capacity and are reimbursed for  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred in connection
with attendance at Board of Directors and committee meetings.  Directors who are
also  employees  of or  consultants  to the  Company  participate  in the Equity
Incentive Plan, the 1990 Employee Stock Option Plan, the 1992 Stock Option Plan,
the 1994 Stock  Incentive  Plan and the 1996 Stock  Incentive  Plan.  Dr. Elkins
participates in the Senior Executives' Stock Option Plan.

     In July 1993 the Company  adopted a Stock Option Plan for New  Non-Employee
Directors (the "Directors' Plan") pursuant to which options to acquire a maximum
aggregate  of 300,000  shares of Common  Stock could be granted to  non-employee
directors.  The Directors' Plan provided for an automatic one-time grant to each
of the Company's  non-employee  directors of an option to purchase 50,000 shares
of Common Stock on the date of such director's  initial  election or appointment
to the Board of  Directors.  The options  have an exercise  price of 100% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, have a ten-year term
and became exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant thereof, subject to
acceleration  in the event of a change of control (as defined in the  Directors'
Plan). Messrs.  Nicholson and Silverman,  who were each directors of the Company
on the date the  Directors'  Plan was  adopted by the Board of  Directors,  each
received an option to purchase 50,000 shares of

                                       111

<PAGE>



Common Stock at an exercise price of $23.50 per share under the Directors'  Plan
on July 29,  1993,  the date the  Directors'  Plan was  adopted  by the Board of
Directors. No options remain available for issuance under the Directors' Plan.

     In December 1993, the Company adopted a Stock Option  Compensation Plan for
Non-Employee  Directors (the "Directors'  Compensation  Plan") pursuant to which
options to acquire a maximum  aggregate of 300,000  shares of Common Stock could
be granted to non-employee directors.  The Directors' Compensation Plan provided
for the automatic  grant to each of the Company's  non-employee  directors of an
option to purchase  25,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of such director's
initial  election or  appointment to the Board of Directors and provided for the
automatic  grant to each such director of an option to purchase 25,000 shares of
Common Stock on each  anniversary  date of such director's  initial  election or
appointment  to the Board of Directors  (or the date the plan was adopted by the
Board of  Directors in the case of  non-employee  directors on the date the plan
was  adopted).  The options  have an  exercise  price of 100% of the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant,  have a ten-year term and become
exercisable  on  the  first  anniversary  of  the  grant  thereof,   subject  to
acceleration  in the event of a change of control (as defined in the  Directors'
Compensation Plan). Messrs.  Nicholson and Silverman, who were each directors of
the  Company on the date the  Directors'  Compensation  Plan was  adopted by the
Board of Directors, each received under the Directors' Compensation Plan options
to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock on each of December 23, 1993 and 1994,
the  date of  adoption  of the  Directors'  Compensation  Plan by the  Board  of
Directors  and the  anniversary  of the date of  adoption,  respectively,  at an
exercise  price of $27.88  per share and  $38.00  per  share,  respectively.  No
options remain available for issuance under the Directors' Compensation Plan.

     On November 27, 1995,  the Board of Directors  determined  that the options
granted to that date under the Directors'  Plan and the Directors'  Compensation
Plan were  exercisable  at prices  significantly  in excess of the then  current
market price of the Common Stock,  and  accordingly  were not  fulfilling  their
designated  purposes under such plans of providing  incentive for such directors
to work for the best interests of the Company and its  stockholders  through the
ownership of Common  Stock.  Accordingly,  to restore the purpose for which such
options were granted, the Board of Directors amended the Directors' Plan and the
Directors'  Compensation Plan, subject to stockholder  approval, to provide that
each option granted prior to November 27, 1995 to non-employee  directors of the
Company in office on November 27, 1995 would be exercisable at an exercise price
of $20.88,  the fair market value of the Common Stock on November 27, 1995.  The
Company's  stockholders  approved  such  action at the 1996  Annual  Meeting  of
Stockholders.

     In 1995 the Company  adopted,  subject to  stockholder  approval,  the 1995
Stock  Option  Plan for  Non-Employee  Directors  (the "1995  Directors'  Plan")
pursuant to which  options to acquire a maximum  aggregate of 350,000  shares of
Common Stock can be granted to non-employee directors.  The 1995 Directors' Plan
provides for an automatic  one-time grant to each of the Company's  non-employee
directors of an option to purchase  50,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of
such director's  initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors.  The
options  have an exercise  price of 100% of the fair market  value of the Common
Stock on the date of such  director's  initial  election or  appointment  to the
Board of  Directors,  have a ten-year term and become  exercisable  on the first
anniversary  of the grant  thereof,  subject to  acceleration  in the event of a
change of control (as defined in the 1995 Directors'  Plan). The 1995 Directors'
Plan also  provided  that  Messrs.  Mazik,  Mitchell,  and  Nicholson,  who were
non-employee  directors of the Company on the date the 1995  Directors' Plan was
adopted by the Board of  Directors,  each  receive an option to purchase  50,000
shares of Common  Stock at an exercise  price of $20.88 per share under the 1995
Directors'  Plan on November 27,  1995,  the date the 1995  Directors'  Plan was
adopted by the Board of Directors.  The 1995 Directors' Plan was approved at the
1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common
Stock remain available for issuance under the 1995 Directors' Plan.

     In September  1996, the Company  adopted the 1996 Stock  Incentive Plan. On
November 27, 1996, January 28, 1998, and April 19, 1999 each director,  with the
exception  of Dr.  Elkins,  was granted an option to purchase  25,000  shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $22.63,  $28.25,  and $3.70,  respectively,
per share.  These  options  became  exercisable  after one year from the date of
grant  if the  director  attended  in  person  four  out of the  five  regularly
scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors in the year following the grant.

     Mr.   Nicholson  has  received  compensation  for  services  rendered  from
entities   in  which  the  Company  had  an  interest.  See  "Item  13.  Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers
and  directors,  and persons who  beneficially  own more than ten percent of the
Company's  Common  Stock,  to file initial  reports of ownership  and reports of
changes in ownership with the Commission and the Exchange on which the Company's
Common  Stock is listed.  Executive  officers,  directors  and greater  than ten
percent  beneficial owners are required by the Commission to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

     Based upon a review of the copies of such forms  furnished  to the  Company
and written representations from the Company's executive officers and directors,
the Company  believes that all Section 16(a) filing  requirements  applicable to
its executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners
were complied with during fiscal 1999.

     listed under "Restricted Stock Awards."

(2)  Represents the value of shares issued  pursuant to the Company's Cash Bonus
     Replacement  Plan at $5.56 per share,  the fair market value on the date of
     issuance.  One  half  of the  shares  were  subject  to  forfeiture  if the
     individual  was not  employed  by the  Company  on  January  1,  2000,  the
     remaining  one half are  subject to  forfeiture  if the  individual  is not
     employed by the Company on January 1, 2001.

(3)  Does  not  include  perquisites  paid  to  the  listed  officers,  such  as
     automobile allowances, which did not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of

(4)  The  Company  is  a  party to an employment and related agreements with Dr.
     Elkins.  See "-- Employment Agreements" and "Item 13. Certain Relationships
     and Related Transactions."

(5)  Dr. Elkins used all salary and bonus in excess of $500,000  received by him
     in 1998,  net of taxes on his  entire  compensation,  to repay  outstanding
     indebtedness to the Company.

(6)  Pursuant to Dr.  Elkins'  employment  agreement,  he is entitled to a bonus
     equal to 100% of his base salary if the Company's annual earnings generally
     equal  or  exceed  the  earnings  per  share  targets  set by the  Board of
     Directors.  Twelve  and  one-half  percent  of the  bonus is  payable  each
     quarter;  however, if the Company's annual earnings do not exceed the Board
     of Directors' targets,  these quarterly payments are treated as prepayments
     of  salary  or must be repaid  to the  Company,  net of all  taxes  paid or
     payable  (except to the extent Dr. Elkins  receives tax  benefits,  through
     deductions,  for the  repayment),  with  interest  at the prime  rate.  The
     remaining  fifty  percent of the bonus is payable at the end of the year if
     the Company's annual earnings exceed the Board of Directors'  targets.  Dr.

     because of the Company's performance. See "-- Employment Agreements."

(7)  During  1998,  Dr.  Elkins  received  $303,275  as a bonus  pursuant to the
     provisions of his employment  agreement described in note 6 above.  Because
     the Company did not equal or exceed the earnings  per share  targets set by
     the Board of Directors, Dr. Elkins elected to repay this amount (net of all
     taxes  paid or  payable  (except to the  extent  Dr.  Elkins  received  tax
     benefits,  through  deductions,  for the  repayment))  with interest at the
     prime rate.

(8)  Includes  the  bonus  earned  in  accordance  with Dr.  Elkins'  employment
     agreement $750,000  and  $2,500,000 of the $5,000,000 bonus granted in 1996
     which became payable in 1997 upon the  satisfaction of certain  conditions.
     In 1996,  Dr. Elkins was granted a bonus of  $5,000,000  which would become
     payable if certain  conditions  were met. The conditions for the bonus,  as
     amended, were as follows: (i) 25% of the bonus would be paid if the Company
     met the Company's  earnings per share  projections  for the 12 months ended
     June 30, 1997 before  taking into  account the payment of the bonus and any
     non-recurring  non-cash charges; (ii) 25% of the bonus would be paid if the
     proposed  sale of the  Company's  pharmacy  division to  Capstone  Pharmacy
     Services,  Inc.  pursuant to the Asset Purchase  Agreement dated as of June
     20,  1996 was  consummated;  (iii)  25% of the  bonus  would be paid if the
     proposed  initial public  offering of the Company's  subsidiary  Integrated
     Living  Communities,  Inc.  ("ILC") was  consummated at a price of at least
     $9.00 per share or, if after the proposed initial public offering of ILC at
     a lower  price,  the price  per share of ILC  traded at a price of at least
     $9.00 per share;  and (iv) 25% of the bonus  would be paid if the  proposed
     acquisition of First American Health Care of Georgia,  Inc. pursuant to the
     Merger Agreement dated as of February 21, 1996 was consummated.  Conditions
     (ii) and (iv) were met in 1996,  and  conditions  (i) and (iii) were met in
     1997.  Dr.  Elkins was required to use 50% of the  after-tax  amount of the
     bonus  (including the advance) to purchase  shares of the Company's  Common
     Stock.

(9)  Includes $23,115 of life insurance  premium payments made by the Company on
     behalf  of Dr.  Elkins  and  $493,062  of  payments  made  pursuant  to the
     termination of the Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation  Plans. This amount
     does not include accrued interest and principal of 4,158,065  on loans from
     the Company  forgiven in 1999. See "-- Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation
     Plans," " -- Employment Agreements"."

     benefit  of Dr. Elkins, which contribution was rescinded in April 1999 with

     insolvency.  See  "--  Supplemental  Deferred Compensation Plans" and "Item
     13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     The Company is a party to an  employment  agreement  with Robert N. Elkins.
The agreement  provides for a five-year term (which  commenced  January 1, 1994)
with an automatic  one-year  extension at the end of each year,  unless 90 days'
notice is given by  either  party.  Under the  agreement  Dr.  Elkins  currently
receives an annual base salary of  $809,935,  with annual  increases of at least
the increase in the consumer  price  index.  Dr.  Elkins will receive a bonus of
100% of his base salary if the  Company's  annual  earnings  generally  equal or
exceed the earnings per share targets set by the Board of Directors.  Twelve and
one-half percent of the bonus is payable each quarter; however, if the Company's
annual earnings do not exceed the Board of Directors'  targets,  these quarterly
payments are treated as  prepayments of salary or must be repaid to the Company,
net of all taxes paid or payable  (except to the extent Dr. Elkins  receives tax
benefits,  through  deductions,  for the repayment),  with interest at the prime
rate. The remaining fifty percent of the bonus is payable at the end of the year
if the Company's  annual  earnings exceed the Board of Directors'  targets.  The
agreement may be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice. Upon termination
of Dr. Elkins'  employment by the Company  without  "Cause" or by Dr. Elkins for
"Good Reason" or if the Company  elects not to extend the term of the agreement,
Dr. Elkins will be entitled (i) to a lump-sum cash payment on the effective date
of  termination  equal to five times the sum of (a) his  salary,  (b) the "Bonus
Amount"  and (c) a pro rata  portion  of the Bonus  Amount  through  the date of
termination  minus  any  bonus  payments  made  for the  fiscal  year  in  which
termination  occurs  that are not  required  to be  repaid  and (ii) to  receive
certain  employee  and other  benefits  for five  years  after  termination.  In
addition,  upon  termination  of Dr. Elkins'  employment by the Company  without
Cause or by Dr. Elkins for Good Reason or upon the Company giving notice that it
elects not to extend the term of employment for another year, all stock options,
other  equity-based  rights and other  benefits  (including  benefits  under the
Company's  Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation Plans) will become fully vested.
Upon termination of Dr. Elkins'  employment for any reason other than (i) by the
Company for Cause or (ii) by Dr.  Elkins before he attains the age of 55 and not
due to  death,  permanent  disability  or Good  Reason,  and upon any  change of
control  that occurs  while Dr.  Elkins is  employed  with the Company or within
one-year  following  his  termination  (other than for Cause,  death,  permanent
disability or Good  Reason),  he is entitled to exercise any  outstanding  stock
option until the earlier of five years following such event (or, if later,  five
years after the date of termination of employment following a change of control)
or the stated term of the option. The agreement also provides that if Dr. Elkins
is required to pay an excise tax on "excess  parachute  payments" (as defined in
Section 280G

                                       116

<PAGE>



of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")),  the Company is
required to pay Dr. Elkins one hundred percent of the amounts that are necessary
to place him in the same after-tax financial position that he would have been in
if such excise tax had not been  applicable.  The agreement  contains a two year
non-competition  provision  (one-year in the case of a termination of employment
other than for Cause  within one year after a change of  control).  In addition,
Dr. Elkins' employment agreement provides that upon termination without Cause or
resignation for Good Reason or if the Company fails to renew the agreement,  Dr.
Elkins  shall  have the right to  acquire  from the  Company  for no  additional
consideration  an  assignment  of the  Company's  leasehold  interest in certain
floors of the Company's  offices and to be provided with an office,  secretarial
assistance,  automobile insurance,  an automobile allowance and use of a Company
plane for five years following termination. The agreement also grants Dr. Elkins
the  right,  at any  time  during  his  term of  employment  and  for  one  year
thereafter,  to purchase the  aircraft  owned by the Company at a price equal to
book value, and to lease or purchase from the Company at fair market rental,  or
purchase  from the Company at book value,  the hangar space for such aircraft at
the Naples,  Florida  airport.  Upon a change of control or  termination  of Dr.
Elkins'  employment (other than a termination by the Company for Cause or by Dr.
Elkins for other than permanent  disability or Good Reason), Dr. Elkins also has
the right to purchase from the Company the current  automobile  furnished to him
at book value.

     Dr. Elkins' employment agreement also provides for his participation in the
Company's Key Employee Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "Key Employee
SERP"),  and  requires  the  establishment  of a  separate  trust  under the Key
Employee  SERP to which the  Company  shall make  irrevocable  contributions  at
specified  times through  January 2, 2001 such that,  at January 2, 2001,  there
would be $23,900,000 in such trust.  Pursuant to the employment  agreement,  the
Company is required to use reasonable  efforts to obtain an insurance  policy or
letter of credit  guaranteeing  its  obligations  to make  contributions  to the
trust,  although  to date IHS has not done so.  Upon a change of  control of the
Company,  the Company is obligated to  irrevocably  fund the trust in the amount
necessary to fund Dr.  Elkins'  pension  benefit under the Key Employee SERP. In
addition,  upon a change  of  control,  Dr.  Elkins  is  entitled  to a  vested,
nonforfeitable right to retirement benefits under the Key Employee SERP as if he
had retired with 15 years of service on the date the change of control  occurred
(without  reduction for retirement  prior to attaining age 62), payable (i) in a
lump sum if he is an  employee  at the time of the change of control and (ii) in
the lump  sum  actuarial  equivalent  less  the sum of all  retirement  benefits
previously  received under the Key Employee SERP if the change of control occurs
within one year after he ceases to be an employee. See "-- Supplemental Deferred
Compensation Plans -- Key Employee Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan."

     For purposes of Dr. Elkins' employment agreement: (a) "Cause" is defined as
(i)  conviction  of a felony  involving  moral  turpitude or (ii) willful  gross
neglect or willful gross misconduct  resulting in material  economic harm to the
Company,  unless Dr.  Elkins  believed in good faith that such conduct was in or
not opposed to the best  interests of the Company;  (b) "Good Reason" is defined
as (i) a material  breach of the agreement by the Company,  (ii) any termination

"Bonus  Amount" is defined as the highest of (i) Dr.  Elkins' salary in the year
of  termination,  (ii) his bonus in the immediately  preceding  calendar year or

immediately  preceding the year of termination.  The agreement provides that the
determination  that Cause  exists  must be approved by 75% of the members of the
Board  and that  Dr.  Elkins  has a 60 day  cure  period.  For  purposes  of the
agreement,  the term "change of control"  means the occurrence of one or more of
the  following:  (i) any person  (as such term is used in  Section  13(d) of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act")),  other than

Exchange Act) of which he is a member,  becomes a beneficial owner (as such term
is used in Rule 13d-3  promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of the

person becoming a director  subsequent to such date whose election or nomination
for election was supported by two-thirds of the directors who then comprised the

contest of a type  contemplated  by  Regulation  14a-11 under the Exchange  Act;
(iii) the Company adopts any plan of liquidation  providing for the distribution
of all or  substantially  all of its  assets;  (iv)  there  is  consummated  any

other property (unless the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such
consolidation,   reorganization   or  merger   beneficially   own,  directly  or
indirectly, in substantially the same proportion as they owned the Voting Stock,
all of the voting stock or other ownership  interests of the entity or entities,
if any, that succeed to the business of the Company); (v) in any transaction not
described in preceding  clause (iv), all or  substantially  all of the assets or
business of the Company is  disposed of pursuant to a merger,  consolidation  or

shares held by such stockholders,  but not from the Voting Stock of the combined
company,  any such shares received by  "affiliates,"  as such term is defined in
the rules of the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  of such other company in
exchange for stock of such other company).

     Pursuant to the supplemental  agreement between Dr. Elkins and the Company,
the  Company  has agreed to forgive,  on each  January 28 from 1999 to 2003,  an

     In  connection  with the RoTech  Acquisition  on October 21,  1997,  RoTech
entered  into a five-year  employment  agreement  with  Stephen P.  Griggs,  the
President  of  RoTech.  Pursuant  to the  agreement,  Mr.  Griggs  serves as the
President of RoTech and currently receives an annual base salary of $500,000 per
year and an annual bonus of $500,000 for each year in which  RoTech's net income
contribution  to the  Company  equals  or  exceeds  specified  targets,  with an
additional  bonus  determined  by the  Company  to be  paid  if the  net  income
contribution  target is exceeded.  In addition,  pursuant to the  agreement  Mr.
Griggs  received a one-time cash sign-on  bonus of  $3,500,000  and a warrant to
purchase  750,000  shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$33.16  per share  (subsequently  reduced  to $10.63  per share in 1998),  which
warrant  becomes  exercisable at a rate of 20% per year beginning on October 21,
1998 (subject to  acceleration  upon Mr.  Griggs'  death or the  occurrence of a
change of control of the Company). Upon termination of Mr. Griggs' employment by
RoTech  without  "Cause" or in case Mr. Griggs  resigns for Cause,  Mr.  Griggs'
unpaid  base  salary  under  the  agreement  and the  pro-rated  portion  of his
performance-based  bonus, if any, will become payable in one lump sum and all of
Mr.  Griggs'  unvested  stock  options  will fully  vest.  For  purposes  of the
agreement,  RoTech may terminate Mr. Griggs'  employment for Cause if Mr. Griggs
(i) fails to perform any of his duties in any  material  respect or breaches any
material term of the agreement,  which failure or breach is not corrected within
30 days of notice,  (ii)  breaches  any  representation  or  warranty  under the

more and RoTech has  provided  Mr.  Griggs with  disability  insurance  which is
payable  after such 90-day  period,  (iv) is convicted of a felony or commits an

dishonesty  or breach of trust with  respect to  RoTech,  the  Company or any of
their subsidiaries.  Mr. Griggs may terminate his employment for Cause if RoTech
(i) fails to  perform  any of its duties  under the  agreement  in any  material
respect,  (ii) fails to provide Mr.  Griggs with a work  environment  reasonably
similar to Mr. Griggs' past work environment or (iii) substantially  changes Mr.
Griggs' job  responsibilities,  each of which failure or action is not corrected
by RoTech within 15 days of notice. Under the agreement Mr. Griggs is subject to
a  non-competition  provision  prohibiting  him,  for a period  of  three  years
following the termination or expiration of his  employment,  from being employed
by, being a director or manager of, acting as a consultant  for, being a partner
in,  having a proprietary  interest in,  giving  advice to,  loaning money to or
otherwise  associating  with  any  entity  which  competes  with  RoTech  or its
subsidiaries  in the  continental  United  States,  subject to  certain  limited
exceptions.  Pursuant to a related agreement, RoTech and the Company have agreed
to pay to Mr.  Griggs the amount of any excise tax payable by him under  Section
4999 of the Code, or any corresponding  provisions of state or local tax law, as
a result of any  payments to him  pursuant  to his  employment  agreement  or in
connection with the RoTech Acquisition, as well as the income tax and excise tax
on such  additional  compensation  such  that,  after the  payment of income and
excise taxes, Mr. Griggs is in the same economic position in which he would have
been if the  provisions  of  Section  4999  of the  Code  (or any  corresponding
provisions of state or local tax law) had not been applicable.

     As of July 1, 1997, the Company  entered into an employment  agreement with
C. Taylor  Pickett,  its Executive  Vice President -- Chief  Financial  Officer.
Pursuant  to the  agreement,  as amended as of  January  4,  2000,  Mr.  Pickett
currently  receives an annual base  salary of  $400,000  (subject to  adjustment
based  on  changes  in  the  consumer  price  index)  plus  a  non-discretionary
performance  bonus based on the Company's  achievement of objective  performance
goals set by the CEO for each year,  which will include  targets  related to the
Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. If the
Company  meets  or  exceeds  the  performance  goals  for  the  year  2000,  the
performance  bonus will be no less than  $200,000.  The agreement has an initial
term of three years,  is  automatically  extended for an additional year on each
January  1st  unless  either  party  gives 120 days'  prior  notice,  and can be
terminated by either party on 90 days' notice.  Upon Mr.  Pickett's  termination
without  Cause or  resignation  for Good  Reason,  Mr.  Pickett is entitled to a
one-time  lump sum  severance  payment equal to his  preceeding  twelve  months'
compensation  and  will  be  released  from  all  obligations   related  to  his
employment,  including his  non-compete  obligation  and his obligation to repay
loans under the Company's  1999 Employee Loan Program  described  below.  If Mr.
Pickett is  required  to pay an excise tax on "excess  parachute  payments"  (as
defined in Section 280G of the Code),  the Company has agreed to pay any amounts
necessary to place Mr. Pickett in the same after-tax  financial position that he
would have been in if such  excise tax had not been  applicable.  The  agreement
contains an 18-month  non-competition  provision (one year upon  termination for
Cause  or upon  termination  within  a year  after a change  of  control  of the
Company). For purposes of the agreement, "Cause" is defined as Mr. Pickett's (i)
material   failure  to  perform  his  duties,   (ii)  material   breach  of  his
non-competition  or  confidentiality  covenants,  (iii)  conviction  of a felony
involving moral  turpitude,  or (iv)  disparaging  IHS or any its  stockholders,
officers, or directors,  in any case which is not corrected within 60 days after
notice,  and "Good Reason" is defined as (i) a material  breach of the agreement
by the Company, (ii) Mr. Pickett's resignation within one year after a change in
control of the Company or the resignation or termination of the persons who were
the Chief Executive  Officer,  Chairman of the Board or President of the Company
on July 1, 1997, in any case which is not corrected  within 60 days after notice
(10  days  with  respect  to a  failure  to pay),  (iii)  assignment  of  duties
inconsistent with his current position, duties, responsibilities or status, (iv)
a material change in reporting  responsibilities,  (v) failure to be included in
any  compensation  plan or benefit plan  provided by IHS to any of its Executive
Vice Presidents, (vi) the occurrence of any event which would constitute a "Good
Reason" or a "Change of Control" under the  employment  agreement of IHS' CEO or
President; or (vii) the failure of IHS to obtain or deliver promptly,  after any
change of control an agreement to assume and perform the  employment  agreement.
The employment  agreement  provides that if Mr. Pickett is still employed by IHS
on March 1, 2001 and his division has met or exceeded the performance  goals for
calendar  year 2000,  IHS will make a good  faith  effort to  implement  a stock
ownership  program  (such as a stock  option  program or a stock  loan  purchase
program  that will  permit Mr.  Pickett to  acquire  an equity  position  in IHS
consistent  with that of similarly  experienced  and similarly  situated  senior
management in the nursing home industry. IHS has agreed to secure the unin-

         ----------
         * Represents  the highest  annual  compensation  in the ten most recent
           calendar years of employment.

     Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if the employment of a participant who has
at least five years of service  terminates  before the  participant has attained
the  age of 58 or,  in the  case  of  Robert  N.  Elkins,  the  age of 62,  such
participant will be entitled to receive an annual benefit equal to the actuarial
equivalent of the benefit he would have received had he continued  employment to
age 58 (62 in the  case of Dr.  Elkins),  but  based on  years  of  service  and
compensation at the time of termination. If Dr. Elkins' employment is terminated
after he  attains  the age of 58 but  before  he  attains  the age of 62,  he is
entitled  to  receive  an annual  benefit  equal to the  benefit  he would  have
received had he attained the age of 62, reduced by  two-twelfths  of one percent
for each full calendar month by which the date of his  termination  precedes the
month of his 62nd birthday. Pursuant to a Supplemental Agreement entered into by
the Company and Dr. Elkins (the "Supplemental  Agreement"),  Dr. Elkins shall be
deemed to have  completed 15 years of service if his  employment  is  terminated
because of death,  permanent disability,  qualified medical termination,  by Dr.
Elkins  for Good  Reason or by the  Company  without  Cause  (as such  terms are
defined in the Supplemental Agreement or Dr. Elkins' employment agreement).

     Compensation  covered by the Key Employee  SERP is the  aggregate  calendar
year  earnings  included in the  participant's  income for federal tax  purposes
(including  bonuses but excluding  stock option  gains).  Benefits under the Key
Employee SERP vest upon the earliest to occur of (i) participant's completion of
five years of service,  (ii) attainment of age 58 (62 in the case of Dr. Elkins)
or, in the case of participants other than Dr. Elkins,  completion of five years
of service if later,  (iii) death or disability  (as defined in the Key Employee
SERP or the participant's  employment  agreement) while actively employed by the
Company or (iv) a change of control of the Company  (substantially as defined in
Dr.

Elkins' employment agreement (see "-- Employment  Agreements"),  except that the
date for determining Incumbent Directors is March 1, 1996).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no retirement benefits are payable to a participant if his employment
with the Company  terminates prior to his benefits  vesting.  Benefits under the
Key  Employee  SERP are  payable in a lump sum  distribution  (based on the 1983
group  annuity  mortality  table  for males and an  interest  rate  equal to the
average yield on 30-year U.S.  Treasury  securities for the month  preceding the
month in which the participant's  employment  terminates) or, if the participant
so  elects,  in the form of annual  installments  over a period not to exceed 10
years, in a joint and 50% survivor  annuity or in an annuity for the life of the
participant.  Participants in the Key Employee SERP also have the right to defer
a portion of their annual compensation into the Key Employee SERP, although such
amounts are immediately fully vested.

     The Key Employee SERP is technically unfunded, and the Company will pay all
benefits  from its general  revenues and assets.  To  facilitate  the payment of
benefits and provide  participants  with a measure of benefit  security  without
subjecting the Key Employee SERP to various rules under the Employee  Retirement
Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as  amended,  the Company  has  established  two
irrevocable  trusts, one for the benefit of Robert N. Elkins ("Trust 1") and one
for the benefit of other  participants  ("Trust A"). The Company intends to make
contributions to the trusts from time to time, and is obligated,  within 30 days
following  a  change  of  control  of  the  Company,   to  make  an  irrevocable
contribution to each trust in an amount sufficient to pay each participant their
full retirement  benefit.  Dr. Elkins'  employment  agreement  requires that the
Company make  irrevocable  contributions  to Trust 1 at specified  times through
January 2, 2001 such that,  at January 2, 2001,  there would be  $23,900,000  in
such  trust.  Pursuant  to Dr.  Elkins'  employment  agreement,  the  Company is
required to use its reasonable  efforts to obtain an insurance  policy or letter
of credit  guaranteeing  its  obligations  to make  contributions  to the trust.
Assets of such  trust are  considered  general  assets  of the  Company  and are
subject to claims of the Company's  creditors in the event of insolvency.  As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had  contributed  $485,242 to Trust A. As of such
date, the Company had  contributed  $18,776,306 to Trust 1, of which  $3,773,958
represents  transfers  of amounts  previously  contributed  to Trust A or to the
trust  established  in  connection  with  the  Company's  Supplemental  Deferred
Compensation  Plans  on  behalf  of Dr.  Elkins.  In April  1999  the  Company's
contribution  to the Key Employee  SERP for the benefit of Dr. Elkins of 282,353
shares of Common Stock,  having a value of $3 million  (based on the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of  contribution),  was rescinded with Dr.
Elkins'  consent  due  to  the  Company's  financial  performance  in  1998.  No
contribution was made to the Key Employee SERP during 1999.

     Dr.  Robert N. Elkins is currently the only participant in the Key Employee
SERP.  Dr. Elkins currently has 13 years of service under the Key Employee SERP.
See " - Employment Agreements."

SUPPLEMENTAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

     The Company's  Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation  Plans (the "SERP") are
unfunded deferred  compensation  plans,  which offer certain executive and other
highly  compensated  employees an  opportunity to defer  compensation  until the
termination of their  employment with the Company.  Contributions to the SERP by
the Company, which vest over a period of five years, are determined by the Board
upon  recommendation  of the  Compensation  and Stock Option  Committee  and are
allocated  to  participants'  accounts  on a  pro  rata  basis  based  upon  the
compensation of all  participants  in the SERP in the year such  contribution is
made.  During 1998,  the Company  contributed  376,471  shares of Common  Stock,
having a value of  $4,000,000,  to the SERP,  none of which was allocated to the
account of Dr. Elkins.  However,  because of the Company's financial performance
in 1998 this  contribution  was  rescinded in April 1999 with the consent of the
participants.  In addition, a participant may elect to defer a portion of his or
her  compensation  and  have  that  amount  added  to his or her  SERP  account.
Participants may direct the investments in their  respective SERP accounts.  All
participant  contributions  and the  earnings  thereon,  plus the  participant's
vested  portion  of  the  Company's   contribution  account,  are  payable  upon
termination of a participant's  employment with the Company. In October 1999 the
Company  terminated the SERP, and  distributions  were made to each participant,
including $493,062, $0, $0, $93,864 and $0 to Messrs. Elkins, Griggs, Heller and
Pickett and Ms. Weisberg, respectively.

EMPLOYEE LOAN PROGRAM

     The Company  adopted in 1999 an Employee  Loan Program (the "Loan Plan") to
assist the Company in retaining its senior  management  on a long-term  basis in
light of the significantly  reduced stock price and loss of equity incentives by
such executives and to encourage stock ownership by senior management. Under the
Loan Plan, the Company was authorized to loan an aggregate of $25 million to all
officers  holding the title of senior vice  president or above to enable them to
acquire and hold shares of Common  Stock.  The Loan Plan provides that each loan
will bear  interest at a rate of 7% per annum,  with interest only being paid at
maturity,  and have a maturity date five years after the date of the loan.  Each
loan is  unsecured.  In order to  encourage  the  borrowers  to remain  with the
Company  and to reduce or  eliminate  the  pressure  to sell  Common  Stock upon
maturity of the loan,  the Loan Plan  provides that 20% of principal and accrued
interest will be forgiven on the second,  third and fourth  anniversaries of the
date of  borrowing if the  borrower is still  employed by the  Company,  and the
remainder  will be forgiven on the fifth  anniversary  if the  borrower is still
employed by the Company.  The Company has the right under certain  circumstances
to require that a participant  immediately  repay any amounts  outstanding under
the Loan Plan if such participant's  employment with the Company terminates.  At
December  31,  1999,  an  aggregate  of $25  million  had been  loaned to the 27
officers who elected to participate in the Loan Plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On December 12, 1997, the Company  entered into an Aircraft Lease Agreement
(the "Lease") with RNE Skyview,  LLC  ("Skyview"),  which is wholly owned by Dr.
Elkins. Pursuant to the Lease, the Company has agreed to lease one aircraft from
Skyview for seven  years,  commencing  on December 12, 1997 and  terminating  on
December  12, 2004,  with  automatic  one-year  extensions  unless  either party
notifies the other in writing six months prior to termination.  Under the Lease,
the Company has agreed to pay Skyview a commercially reasonable base rent, which
shall be no less  than  $89,675.81  per month and  $1,076,109.72  per year.  The
Company must also pay additional  rent of $2,150 per block hour for any month in
which the  number of block  hours  flown is more than 42 hours.  The  Company is
responsible for all  maintenance  and operation  expenses of the aircraft during
the term of the Lease.  The Lease  provides that Dr. Elkins shall have exclusive
first use of the aircraft  throughout the term of the Lease,  even if Dr. Elkins
is terminated as an employee of the Company for any reason,  including,  without
limitation, as a

                                       125

<PAGE>



result of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Company's credit
facility).  The Lease further  provides that in the event of the  termination of
Dr. Elkins' employment with the Company,  including,  without  limitation,  as a
result of a change of  control of the  Company,  the  members of the  aircraft's
cockpit crew shall become employees of Skyview; however, the salaries,  expenses
and  benefits  of such crew  members  shall be a cost and expense of the Company
throughout  the term of the Lease.  Dr.  Elkins is obligated  to  reimburse  the
Company for its  out-of-pocket  costs associated with use of the aircraft if, at
any time during the term of the Lease,  Dr. Elkins uses the aircraft for his own
personal  use. The Lease and the aircraft are subject to a security  interest in
favor of BTM  Capital  Corporation  securing a loan in the amount of  $9,177,159
made to Skyview.  Dr. Elkins has also pledged all of his membership interests in
Skyview to secure such loan. In connection with the Lease, Skyview purchased the
Gulfstream II airplane then owned by the Company,  which aircraft was traded in.
The Company recognized no gain or loss on the sale of the aircraft to Skyview.

     In 1997,  the Company began to explore  various  options to deleverage  the
Company  without  adversely  affecting  earnings.  As part  of its  deleveraging
strategy,  in each of January and April 1998,  the Company  sold five  long-term
care facilities to Omega Healthcare  Investors,  Inc.  ("Omega") for $44,500,000
and $50,500,000, respectively, which facilities were leased back by Lyric Health
Care LLC ("Lyric"),  a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, at an annual rent
of  approximately  $4,500,000  and  $4,949,000,  respectively.  The Company also
entered into management and franchise  agreements with Lyric,  which  agreements
have initial  terms of 13 years with two renewal  options of 13 years each.  The
base  management  fee was 3% of gross  revenues in 1998 and  increased  to 4% of
gross revenues in 1999 pursuant to the management  agreement.  In addition,  the
management  agreement  provides for an incentive  management fee equal to 70% of
annual net cash flow (as defined in the management agreement). The duties of the
Company as manager include the following:  accounting,  legal,  human resources,
operations,  materials and facilities management and regulatory compliance.  The
annual  franchise fee is 1% of gross revenues,  which grants Lyric the authority
to use the  Company's  trade  names  and  proprietary  materials.  In a  related
transaction, TFN Healthcare Investors, Inc., an entity in which Mr. Nicholson is
the principal stockholder ("TFN Healthcare"),  purchased a 50% interest in Lyric
for $1,000,000,  an amount equal to the Company's  initial  investment in Lyric,
and the Company's  interest in Lyric was reduced to 50%.  Lyric will dissolve on
December 31, 2047 unless extended for an additional 12 months.  The transactions
with Lyric were approved by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

     In February 1998, Mr. Nicholson  entered into an employment  agreement with
Lyric  pursuant to which Mr.  Nicholson  serves as  Managing  Director of Lyric,
having  day-to-day  authority for the  management  and  operation of Lyric.  Mr.
Nicholson  currently receives a base salary of $300,000,  which may be increased
from time to time with the Company's approval and shall be increased to $350,000
upon Lyric achieving annual fiscal year revenues of $450 million.  Mr. Nicholson
also receives  benefits  similar to those  provided to the  Company's  executive
officers.  The agreement has an initial term through December 31, 2002,  subject
to automatic one-year extensions  thereafter unless the Company or Mr. Nicholson
elects not to extend.  The  agreement may be terminated by Lyric for Cause or by
Mr. Nicholson for Good Reason. Upon termination by Lyric without Cause or by Mr.
Nicholson for Good Reason, Mr. Nicholson will be entitled to a severance payment
equal to one year's  salary  plus the  average  of his last two annual  bonuses,
payable  50%  within  10  days  of  termination  and  50%  monthly  in 12  equal
installments  unless such termination  occurs within one year following a change
of control of the  Company or the  Company  and TFN  Healthcare  cease to own in
aggregate 50% of Lyric, in which case the entire severance payment shall be made
in one lump sum. If Mr. Nicholson  resigns within 30 days after TFN Healthcare's
interest in Lyric is diluted below 33 1/3% and TFN Healthcare sells its interest
in Lyric, then Mr. Nicholson will be entitled to severance in an amount equal to
up  to  three  times  his  annual  salary.  The  employment  agreement  contains
confidentiality  and  non-compete  provisions.  For  purposes of the  agreement,
"Cause" means (i) Mr. Nicholson materially fails to perform his duties, (ii) Mr.
Nicholson  materially  breaches his  confidentiality  or non-compete  covenants,
(iii) Mr.  Nicholson  is convicted  of any felony or any  misdemeanor  involving
moral turpitude,  or commits larceny,  embezzlement or theft of Lyric's tangible
or intangible property,  or (iv) TFN Healthcare disposes of more than 50% of its
interest in Lyric,  and "Good Reason" is defined as (i) a material breach of the
agreement  by Lyric,  (ii) a change of control of the  Company  (similar  to the
change of control definition contained in Dr.



                                       126

<PAGE>



Elkins'   employment   agreement  (see  "Executive   Compensation  -  Employment
Agreements")),  (iii) the Company and TFN  Healthcare no longer own in aggregate
50% of Lyric or (iv) TFN Healthcare's interest in Lyric is diluted below 33 1/3%
and TFN Healthcare sells its interest in Lyric.

     Effective   January  1,  1999,   the  Company  and  various   wholly  owned
subsidiaries of the Company (the "Lyric Subsidiaries")  transferred 27 long-term
care facilities and five specialty hospitals to Monarch Properties, LP ("Monarch
LP"),  a newly  formed  private  company,  for  approximately  $138 million plus
contingent  earn-out  payments  of up to a  maximum  of $67.6  million. Net cash
provided from this  transaction  were  approximately  $131,239.  The  contingent
earn-out  payments  will be  paid  to the  Company  by  Monarch  LP upon a sale,
transfer  or  refinancing  of  any or all of  the  facilities  or  upon a  sale,
consolidation or merger of Monarch LP, with the amount of the earn-out  payments
determined in accordance  with a formula  described in the  Facilities  Purchase
Agreement among the Company,  the Lyric  Subsidiaries and Monarch LP. Dr. Robert
N. Elkins,  Chairman of the Board,  Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company, beneficially owns approximately 28.6% of Monarch LP and is the Chairman
of the Board of  Managers  of Monarch  Properties,  LLP,  the parent  company of
Monarch  LP.  After the  transfer of the  facilities  to Monarch LP, the Company
retained the working capital of the Lyric Subsidiaries and transferred the stock
of each of the Lyric  Subsidiaries  to Lyric.  Monarch LP then leased all of the
facilities  back to the Lyric  Subsidiaries  under a long-term  master lease. In
September 1999, the Company  transferred  one additional  facility to Monarch LP
for net cash proceeds of $3.7 million. Monarch LP then leased this facility to a
subsidiary of Lyric. The Company is managing these facilities for Lyric pursuant
to the above-described  agreements. The Company accounted for these transactions
as a financing.  The transactions with Monarch LP and Lyric were approved by the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

     During  1999 the Law  Offices  of Robert A.  Mitchell,  a  director  of the
Company,  performed  legal services for the Company for which such firm received
$67,500.

     At March 1,  2000,  the  Company  had four  outstanding  loans to Robert N.
Elkins,  the  Company's   Chairman,   President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,
aggregating  $36,439,305.   One  loan,  in  the  original  principal  amount  of
$4,690,527  and with a current  principal  amount of $4,409,095  ("Loan A"), was
used primarily to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock,  bears interest
at a rate  per  annum  equal  to the  higher  of 7.5% or the  Company's  cost of
borrowing under its bank credit facility,  is unsecured and is due July 8, 2004.
Twenty  percent of the  principal  amount of Loan A, and all  accrued and unpaid
interest on Loan A, will be  forgiven on each of July 8, 2001,  2002 and 2003 if
Dr.  Elkins  is then an  employee  of the  Company,  and the  remainder  will be
forgiven on July 8, 2004 if he is then an employee of the Company.  In addition,
Loan A will be  forgiven  upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in
Dr.  Elkins'  employment  agreement) or the  termination  by IHS of Dr.  Elkins'
employment or employment agreement for any reason (including a rejection of such
agreement  in a  reorganization  proceeding)  other than for Cause.  The largest
amount of indebtedness  (including  accrued  interest)  outstanding under Loan A
during fiscal 1999 was $4,792,402. The second loan was in the original principal
amount  of  $15,535,000  and  has a  current  principal  amount  of  $11,780,210
outstanding  ("Loan  B").  Loan B,  which was used to  exercise  options,  bears
interest  at 6.8% per annum,  is due  January  28,  2003 and is  unsecured.  The
largest amount of indebtedness  outstanding  under Loan B during fiscal 1999 was
$16,891,614.  Twenty-five  percent  of the  principal  amount of Loan B, and all
accrued and unpaid interest on Loan B, will be forgiven on each of July 8, 2000,
2001 and 2002 if Dr. Elkins is then an employee of the Company and the remainder
will be forgiven on July 8, 2003 if he is then an  employee of the  Company.  In
addition,  Loan B provides that upon the  occurrence of any change of control of
the Company or the  termination  of Dr. Elkins'  employment  with the Company by
death, for permanent disability, by Dr. Elkins for Good Reason or by the Company
without Cause (as such terms are defined in Dr. Elkins'  employment  agreement),
any amounts outstanding and not then due under Loan B shall be automatically and
immediately  discharged.  On January  28,  1999,  the  Company  forgave  accrued
interest and principal of $4,158,065 Loan B.The third loan,  $4,250,000 of which
was made in October 1998 and  $4,500,000 of which was made in November 1998, has
a current  principal amount of $8,750,000  ("Loan C"). Loan C, which was used to
pay taxes  resulting  from the exercise of options,  bears  interest at 6.8% per
annum,  is due July 8, 2004 and is  unsecured.  Twenty  percent of the principal
amount  of Loan C,  and all  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  on Loan C,  will be
forgiven on each of July 8, 2001, 2002, and 2003 if Dr.

Elkins is then an employee of the Company, and the remainder will be forgiven on
July 8, 2004 if he is then an employee of the Company. In addition,  Loan C will
be forgiven  upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in Dr.  Elkins'
employment  agreement) or the  termination by IHS of Dr.  Elkins'  employment or
employment  agreement for any reason (including a rejection of such agreement in
a  reorganization  proceeding)  other than for Cause.  In March 1999 the Company
loaned  Dr.  Elkins  $11,500,000  under the Loan Plan  ("Loan  D") to assist the
Company  in  retaining  Dr.  Elkins  on  a  long-term  basis  in  light  of  the
significantly  reduced  stock price and loss of equity  incentives by Dr. Elkins
and the fact that Dr. Elkins'  options were not repriced as well as to encourage
stock  ownership  by Dr.  Elkins.  Loan D bears  interest  at the rate of 7% per
annum,  is unsecured and is due April 8, 2004.  Twenty  percent of the principal
amount  of Loan D,  and all  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  on Loan D,  will be
forgiven  on each of April 8,  2001,  2002,  and 2003 if Dr.  Elkins  is then an
employee of the Company,  and the remainder will be forgiven on April 8, 2004 if
he is then an employee of the Company. In addition, Loan D will be forgiven upon
a change in  control  of the  Company  (as  defined  in Dr.  Elkins'  employment
agreement) or the  termination  by IHS of Dr.  Elkins'  employment or employment
agreement  for  any  reason  (including  a  rejection  of  such  agreement  in a
reorganization  proceeding)  other  than for Cause.  In  addition,  because  the
Company did not meet the earnings per share goals for 1998 set by the Committee,
Dr. Elkins' was not entitled to a bonus under his employment agreement for 1998.
Accordingly,  Dr. Elkins elected to repay,  with interest at the prime rate, the
$303,275 paid to him in 1998 as an advance on his bonus in  accordance  with the
terms of his employment  agreement,  net of all taxes paid or payable (except to
the extent  Dr.  Elkins  received  tax  benefits,  through  deductions,  for the
repayment).  See "Item 11.  Executive  Compensation - Employee Loan Program" and
"-- Employment  Agreements."  The largest amount of indebtedness  outstanding in
1999 was $37,925,608.

     At March 1,  2000,  the  Company  had two  outstanding  loans to C.  Taylor
Pickett,  the Company's  Executive  Vice President -- Chief  Financial  Officer,
aggregating  $1,700,000.  One such loan,  in the  original  principal  amount of
$400,000,  bears interest at 6.8%, is unsecured and is due on November 13, 2002.
In November 1999, the Company forgave  $100,000 of the principal  amount of this
loan and accrued interest  pursuant to the terms of the note. In March 1999, the
Company loaned Mr. Pickett  $1,400,000 under the Loan Plan to assist the Company
in  retaining  Mr.  Pickett on a long-term  basis in light of the  significantly
reduced stock price and loss of equity  incentives  by Mr.  Pickett and the fact
that Mr.  Pickett's  options  were not  repriced in 1998 as well as to encourage
stock ownership by Mr.  Pickett.  This loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per
annum,  is unsecured and is due March 23, 2004.  Twenty percent of the principal
amount  of the loan and all  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  on the loan will be
forgiven on each of March 23,  2001,  2002,  and 2003 if Mr.  Pickett is then an
employee of the Company, and the remainder will be forgiven on March 23, 2004 if
he is then an employee of the Company.  In  addition,  the loan will be forgiven
upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in Mr. Pickett's  employment
agreement) or the termination by IHS of Mr.  Pickett's  employment or employment
agreement  for  any  reason  (including  a  rejection  of  such  agreement  in a
reorganization  proceeding)  other  than for  Cause.  See  "Item  11.  Executive
Compensation  -- Employee  Loan  Program."  The largest  amount of  indebtedness
outstanding during fiscal 1999 was $1,901,927.

     At March 1, 2000, the Company had outstanding one loan to John Heller,  the
Company's  Executive Vice President -- Operations,  aggregating  $1,200,000.  In
March 1999,  the Company  loaned Mr.  Heller  $1,200,000  under the Loan Plan to
assist the Company in retaining Mr. Heller on a long-term  basis in light of the
significantly  reduced  stock price and loss of equity  incentives by Mr. Heller
and the fact that Mr.  Heller's  options were not repriced in 1998 as well as to
encourage stock ownership by Mr. Heller. This loan bears interest at the rate of
7% per annum,  is  unsecured  and is due March 23, 2004.  Twenty  percent of the
principal  amount of the loan,  and all accrued and unpaid  interest on the loan
will be forgiven on each of March 23, 2001, 2002, and 2003 if Mr. Heller is then
an employee of the Company, and the remainder will be forgiven on March 23, 2004
if he is then an employee of the Company. In addition, the loan will be forgiven
upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in Mr.  Heller's  employment
agreement) or the  termination by IHS of Mr.  Heller's  employment or employment
agreement  for  any  reason  (including  a  rejection  of  such  agreement  in a
reorganization  proceeding)  other  than for  Cause.  See  "Item  11.  Executive

the Company's Executive Vice President -- Symphony,  aggregating $1,200,000.  In
March 1999, the Company loaned Ms.  Weisberg  $1,200,000  under the Loan Plan to
assist the Company in retaining  Ms.  Weisberg on a long-term  basis in light of
the  significantly  reduced  stock  price and loss of equity  incentives  by Ms.
Weisberg and the fact that Ms.  Weisberg's  options were not repriced in 1998 as
well as to encourage stock ownership by Ms.  Weisberg.  This loan bears interest
