                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                               (Unaudited)

NOTE 1:   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
These consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995,
File No 0-22168.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments to present
fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods reported.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The Financial Accounting Standard Board has adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115).  The Company has adopted this standard in
fiscal 1995.  In management's opinion, adopting SFAS No. 115 did not
materially affect the Company's financial statements for the three months
ended December 31, 1995.

Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year
retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock dividend discussed in Note
8. Net income is reduced for the 10% cumulative preferred dividend on the
Series AA preferred stock.

NOTE 2.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND COST REIMBURSEMENTS

Accounts receivable and operating revenue include net amounts reimbursed by
Medicaid under the provisions of cost reimbursement formulas in effect.  The
Company operates under a prospective payment system with Medicare, under which
annual rates are assigned based on estimated reimbursements.  Differences 
between estimated provisions and final settlement are reflected as adjustments
to future rates.

NOTE 3.   INVENTORIES

NOTE 6: FACILITY ACQUISITIONS

During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company entered into a series
of transactions with Winter Haven, Gordon Jensen Health Care Association, Inc.
("Gordon Jensen"), National Assistance Bureau, Inc. ("NAB"), Southeastern
Cottages, Inc. ("Southeastern"), Chamber Health Care Society, Inc.
("Chamber"), and Senior Care, Inc. ("Senior"); all are entities which
principal shareholders of the Company either own or control.  The result of
the transactions was to eliminate all notes receivable and advances due to the
Company from affiliates. The following is a summary of the transactions: 

On September 30, 1996, Winter Haven sold to the Company two retirement
facilities for their fair value, based on independent appraisal, totaling
$19,200,000.  The facilities were acquired by the Company subject to bond debt
of $7,670,000, resulting in debt due to Winter Haven from the Company of
$11,530,000.  As part of the sales agreement, the Company and Winter Haven
agreed that the debt of $11,530,000 would be applied to eliminate the
receivable, totaling $11,214,320, due to the Company by Winter Haven. 

On September 27, 1996, Gordon Jensen contributed to the treasury of the
Company 400,000 shares of stock in the Company which had a fair market value
of $3,000,000.  This transaction results in the elimination of the debt,
totaling $2,982,000, due to the Company by Gordon Jensen and a reduction of
stockholders' equity of the Company by $3,000,000.

NOTE 6:  FACILITY ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

On August 6, 1996, Contour acquired all of the outstanding stock of Atlantic
Medical Supply Company, Inc. ("Atlantic Medical"), a distributor of disposable
medical supplies and a provider of third-party billing services to the nursing
home and home health care markets.  The acquisition was made retroactively to
July 1, 1996. Contour paid $1.4 million in cash and $10.5 million in
promissory notes for all of the outstanding stock of Atlantic Medical.  The
promissory notes bear interest at 7% per annum and are due in full on January
10, 1997.  In the event of a default in the payment of the promissory notes,
they are convertible into shares of common stock of RCA. 

During the period from September 27 through October 2, 1996, the Company sold
1,000,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in an offering to
foreign investors at $10.00 per share.  Holders of the Series F Preferred
Stock have no voting rights except as required by law, and have liquidation
preference of $10.00 per share plus 4% per amount from the date of issuance. 
The shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common
stock at a conversion price of the lesser of (a) $7.665625, or (b) 85% of the
average closing bid price for the five trading days prior to the date of
conversion.  The maximum number of shares of common stock which can be issued
upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock is 2,588,000.  At the time of
conversion, the holder is also entitled to additional shares equal to $10.00
per share of Series F Preferred Stock converted multiplied by 8% per annum
from the date of issuance divided by the applicable conversion price.

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995.

The Company's total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
were $55,139,631 compared to $28,640,177 for the three months ended September
30, 1995.  Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the
Company, patient service revenue increased from $25,835,329 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995, to $41,984,567 for the quarter ended September 30,
1996.  The Company was operating 75 facilities for the quarter ended September
30, 1996, compared to 42 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The cost
of patient services in the amount of $30,480,566 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, represented 72% patient service revenue, as compared to
$16,044,110 or 62% of patient service revenue during the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  This increase is attributed to the Company acquiring
skilled nursing facilities which have higher personnel costs and to the delays
in Medicaid rate increases discussed below.

Medical supply revenue increased from $1,589,073 during the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, to $11,224,782 during the quarter ended September 30,
1996.  These revenues, which are revenues of Contour Medical, Inc.
("Contour"), a majority-owned subsidiary, increased primarily as a result of
two acquisitions made by Contour.  Contour acquired AmeriDyne Corporation
("AmeriDyne") effective March 1, 1996, and Atlantic Medical Supply Company,
Inc. ("Atlantic") effective July 1, 1996.  Cost of medical supplies sold as a
percentage of medical supply revenue decreased to approximately 66.5% during
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, as compared to approximately 100% of
such revenue during the same period last year.  The reduced percentage is
primarily a result of higher gross profit margins on the products sold by
AmeriDyne and Atlantic.

Management fees increased from $907,879 in the quarter ended September 30,
1995 to $934,046 in the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  As of September 30,
1995, the Company was managing 26 facilities, and as of September 30, 1996,
the Company was only managing 20 facilities.  Although the number of managed
facilities declined, revenues increased slightly as a result of increased
management fees charged by the Company.  The reduced number of facilities
managed by the Company is due to the fact that the Company has acquired, by
lease or purchase, a number of facilities which it previously only managed. 
Management anticipates that the number of facilities only managed by the
Company will continue to decline as a result of the acquisition of such
facilities by the Company.

Most of the revenue from the management services division of the Company's
business is received pursuant to management agreements with entities
controlled by Messrs. Brogdon and Lane, two of the Company's officers and
directors.  These management agreements have five year terns, however, they
are subject to termination on 60 days notice, after the end of the third year
of the Agreement with or without cause by either the Company or the owners. 
Therefore, Messrs. Brogdon and Lane have full control over whether or not
these management agreements, and thus the management service revenue, continue
in the future. 

Other operating revenue increased from $307,896 during the quarter ended Sep-
tember 30, 1995, to $996,236 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The
increase was primarily a result of one-time referral fees of $300,000 received
from a building contractor, and approximately $180,000 in interest income.
                               -11-
<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1996 were $9,606,489 representing 17% of total revenues, as compared to
$4,455,581 representing 16% of total revenues, for the three months ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase in the dollar amount is primarily due to the
general and administrative expenses related to operating the additional
facilities owned or leased by the Company.  The increased percentage is
attributed to higher payroll costs of general and administrative personnel
which took effect at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Interest expense rose from $928,852 during the quarter ended September 30,
1995, to $2,375,601 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996, as a result
of the increased amount of debt carried by the Company as a result of
acquisitions made over the last twelve months.  At September 30, 1995, the
Company had approximately $47 million in long-term debt, as compared to
approximately $137 million in long-term debt at September 30, 1996.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company incurred expense for
income taxes of $491,210 which represents an effective tax rate of 39%, as
compared to expenses for income taxes of $1,285,265 which represents an
effective tax rate of 39% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. 

The net income of $801,447 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, is lower
than the net income of $2,058,720 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. 
The reduced net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, is primarily
a result of delays in annual Medicaid rate increases, which are usually in
effect on July 1 of each year.  This year the rate increases in Georgia were
delayed until mid-August, and the rate increases in Tennessee were delayed
until November 1, 1996.  Most of the long-term care facilities operated by the
Company are located in these two states.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1996, the Company had $2,777,737 in working capital compared
to $2,925,302 at June 30, 1996. 

During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, cash used by operating activities
was $(6,532,048) as compared to $1,250,797 provided by operating activities
during the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The cash used during the current
period was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable of
$8,837,558, and an increase in inventory of $5,112,633.  These increases are
partially a result of Contour's acquisition of Atlantic effective July 1,
1996.  The increases in non-cash assets were partially offset by increases in
accounts payable and accrued expense of $6,031,801.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the quarter ended September 30,
1996, totaled $(9,477,384) as compared to $(10,497,990) during the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  During the current period, the Company expended
$22,178,364 on the purchase of property and equipment, primarily through
acquisitions, and incurred $2,562,121 in deferred lease costs.  These
expenditures were partially offset by repayments of advances from affiliates
of $14,440,766.

Cash provided by financing activities during the quarter ended September 30,
1996, totaled $19,035,246 as compared to $6,889,296 during the same period
last year.  During the current period the Company received $6,598,179 from the
sale of preferred stock and the placement of $17,547,656 in long-term debt.  
                               -12-
<PAGE>
These were partially offset by the purchase and retirement of common stock in
the amount of $3,149,713, payments on long-term debt of $444,250, a reduction
of line of credit borrowings of $1,456,535 and payment of $60,000 in dividends
on preferred stock.

On September 30, 1994, the Company purchased a majority of the stock of
Contour Medical, Inc. in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock and
preferred stock.  The Company is obligated to redeem the preferred stock
issued in the transaction over the five years for $3,000,000 in cash. 
$600,000 was paid on October 11, 1996 pursuant to this obligation.  Management
intends to fund future redemptions from cash flow generated from operations.

The Company believes that its long-term liquidity needs will generally be met
by income from operations.  If necessary, the Company believes that it can
obtain an extension of its current line of credit and/or other lines of credit
from commercial sources.  Except as described above, the Company is not aware
of any trends, demands, commitments or understandings that would impact its
liquidity.

The Company maintains various lines of credit with interest rates ranging from
prime plus .25% to prime plus 1.25%.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had
approximately $3,500,000 in unused credit available under such lines.   

On August 6, 1996, Contour Medical, Inc. ("Contour"), a majority-owned
subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding stock of Atlantic Medical Supply
Company, Inc. ("Atlantic"), a distributor of disposable medical supplies and
provider of third-party billing services to the nursing home and home health
care markets.  The acquisition was made effective retroactively to July 1,
1996.  Contour paid $1,400,000 in cash and promissory notes totaling
$10,500,000 for the stock of Atlantic, and subsequently paid an additional
$50,000 in cash and issued a promissory note for $350,000 to acquire a
minority interest in a subsidiary of Atlantic Medical Supply, Inc.  The
promissory notes bear interest at 7% per annum and are due in full on January
10, 1997.  In the event of a default in the payment of the promissory notes,
they are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (Retirement
Care Associates, Inc.)  The cash for this transaction came from a $5 million
debenture placement by Contour that was completed on July 12, 1996.  Contour
intends to pay the promissory notes from the proceeds of an offering of
securities to be conducted by Contour.  However, if Contour is unable to pay
these promissory notes, a default could occur and the holders could exercise
their conversion rights.  In such event the Company could be required to issue
shares of its Common Stock equal to $10,850,000 based on a conversion price of
85% of the average daily closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for the
five consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date.  In such event,
the Company has agreed to register such shares for resale under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

IMPACT OF PENDING FEDERAL HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION

Management is uncertain what the financial impact will be of the pending
federal health care reform package since the legislation has not been
finalized.  However, based on information which has been released to the
public thus far, management doesn't believe that there will be cuts in
reimbursements paid to nursing homes. 

Legislative and regulatory action at the state and federal level, has resulted
in continuing changes in the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs. 
The changes have limited payment increases under those programs.  Also, the
                               -13-
<PAGE>
timing of payments made under Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to
regulatory action and governmental budgetary constraints.  Within the
statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are
substantial areas subject to administrative rulings and interpretations which
may further affect payments made under these programs.  Further, the federal
and state governments may reduce the funds available under those programs in
the future or require more stringent utilization and quality review of
healthcare facilities.
