We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of National Institutional
Pharmacy Services, Inc., Exclusive of Medicare Part B Business (the Company See
Note 1) as of May 31, 1998, and the related income statement, statements of

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based

We conducted our audit 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

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of National Institutional Pharmacy

                 NATIONAL INSTITUTIONAL PHARMACY SERVICES, INC.,
                      EXCLUSIVE OF MEDICARE PART B BUSINESS


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  MAY 31, 1998



1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

National Institutional Pharmacy Services, Inc. (NIPSI), is a Delaware
corporation that provides medical supplies and equipment, prescription drugs and
over-the-counter drugs to long-term care facilities, rehabilitation hospitals
and specialty hospitals. NIPSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrated Health
Services, Inc. (the Parent).

These financial statements present the result of operations and financial
position for the business operations of NIPSI, which were sold subsequent to
year-end. Accordingly, the financial statements have been presented exclusive of
the Medicare Part B business and joint ventures, which were not sold, and are
presented as National Institutional Pharmacy Services, Inc., Exclusive of
Medicare Part B Business (the Company) (see Note 7).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, gains
and losses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

Income Taxes

The Parent files a consolidated federal income tax return. Income tax expense is
based on reported earnings before income taxes after adjusting for permanent
differences. The Parent has paid corporate income taxes related to the Company's
operations since its inception. During the current year the Company recorded a
provision for income taxes of $3,533,809 in taxes. This provision has been
reflected as a corresponding capital contribution due to the Parent's ultimate
intent to honor the related tax obligations.

Inventory

Inventory consists principally of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals and is
stated at the lower of cost or market value utilizing the FIFO (first-in,
first-out) method.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or, with respect to leasehold improvements, over the
remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Equipment and leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the following useful lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                                   <C>                   
Leasehold improvements                                                10 years or remaining 
                                                                        term of the lease
Furniture and equipment                                                    5 - 20 years
Vehicles                                                                   3 - 4 years
</TABLE>

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded as products are shipped and services are rendered. The
Company sells its products principally to residents of long-term care
facilities, speciality hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals who are insured by
commercial insurers or by various state Medical Assistance programs. In addition
the Company has certain agreements with customers to manage the on-site
pharmacy. The Company receives a set management fee for these services.

A portion of the Company's sales are covered by various state and Federal
reimbursement programs, which are subject to review and/or audit. Reimbursement
programs are also subject to change from time to time. Revenues are reported at
the estimated net amounts to be received from individuals, third party payors,
nursing facilities and others.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and are primarily reimbursed by third
party payors. As of May 31, 1998, the approximate percentages of accounts
receivable from each payor category are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                 <C>  
Medicaid                                            15.8%
Commercial and private payors                       84.2
                                                   ----- 
                                                   100.0%
                                                   ===== 
</TABLE>

Goodwill

Costs in excess of fair values of businesses acquired are recorded as goodwill
and amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. Amortization of
goodwill amounted to approximately $161,159, for the year ended May 31, 1998.

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the carrying value of its intangible
assets in light of any events or circumstances that indicate they may be
impaired or that the amortization period may need to be adjusted. If such
circumstances suggest the intangible value cannot be recovered, calculated based
on undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization period, the carrying
value of the intangible will be reduced by such shortfall. As of May 31, 1998,
the Company does not believe there is any indication that the carrying value or
the amortization period of its intangibles need to be adjusted.

401(k) Benefit Plan

Parent contribution was made for the year ended May 31, 1998.
