NOTE 6:  FACILITY ACQUISITION (Continued)

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 7:  OTHER TRANSACTIONS

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 were due in full on January
10, 1997.   In the event of a default in the payment of the promissory notes,
they were convertible into shares of common stock of RCA.  On January 10,
1997, Contour retired all outstanding notes due to sellers of Atlantic Medical
in the aggregate principal amount of $10,850,000, along with accrued interest. 
The retirement of these notes was funded by a loan of $9,750,000 from the
Company, with the balance funded from Contour's existing line of credit with
Barnett Bank. The loan from the Company was evidenced by a convertible
promissory note bearing interest at 9% per annum and payable upon demand. 
This note was convertible into 1,950,000 shares of Contour's Common Stock, and
on January 10, 1997, the Company exercised this conversion right.

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 annum 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 lessor of (a) $9.6525 or 110% of the
average closing bid price for the twenty consecutive trading days commencing
September 30, 1996, whichever is lower, 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 MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996

The Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997, were
$65,663,626 compared to $35,622,413 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. 

Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the Company,
patient service revenue increased from $32,004,561 for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, to $53,044,270 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The Company
was operating 86 facilities for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to
54 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The cost of patient services in the
amount of $18,814,605 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, represented 59% of
patient service revenue, as compared to $35,357,497 or 67% of patient service
revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  This increase is attributed
to the Company acquiring skilled nursing facilities which require more skilled
care and to delays in Medicaid rate increases discussed in the comparison of
the nine month periods ended March 31 below.

Medical supply revenue increased from $2,100,600 during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, to $11,736,583 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  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, 1997, 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 March 31, 1997, 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 decreased from $1,030,882 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996
to $632,580 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997, due to the number of
facilities which the Company manages.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company was
managing 24 facilities, and as of March 31, 1997, the Company was managing 11
facilities.  The Company has leased or purchased 13 facilities it managed at
March 31, 1996.  Management anticipates that the number of facilities only
managed by the company will continue to decline as a result of acquisition of
such facilities by the Company.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
were $10,619,461  representing 17% of total revenues, as compared to
$6,848,798 representing 19% of total revenues, for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase in the dollar amount is due to the general and
administrative expenses related to operating the additional facilities owned
or leased by the Company and the acquisition by Contour of Atlantic Medical
and AmeriDyne.

               RETIREMENT CARE ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred expense for income
taxes of $1,189,756 which represents an effective tax rate of 38%, as compared
to expenses for income taxes of $1,106,272 which represents an effective tax
rate of 39% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 

The net income of $1,962,272 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, is higher
than the net income of $1,736,580 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The
net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, is a result of additional
facilities the Company operates.

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 terms, 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.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996

The Company's total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, were
$182,190,526 compared to $95,492,767 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the Company,
patient service revenue increased from $86,182,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996, to $142,979,301  for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. 
The Company was operating 86 facilities in the nine months ended March 31,
1997 compared to 54 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  The cost of
patient services in the amount of $97,476,724 for the nine months ended March
31, 1997, represented 69% of patient service revenue, as compared to
$52,466,995 or 61% of patient service revenue during the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase is attributed to the Company acquiring skilled
nursing facilities which require more skilled care and to delays in Medicaid
rate increases discussed below.

               RETIREMENT CARE ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Medical supply revenues increased from $5,294,915 during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, to $34,592,701 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  These
revenues, which are revenues of 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 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 March 31, 1997, 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 Medical.

Management fees decreased from $2,834,677 in the nine months ended March 31,
1996 to $2,125,201 in the nine months ended March 31, 1997 because the Company
purchased or leased 13 facilities it managed at March 31, 1996.  As of March
31, 1996, the Company was managing 24 facilities, and as of March 31, 1997 the
Company was managing 11 facilities.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1997
were $31,765,530 representing 18% of total revenues, as compared to
$15,619,316 representing 16% of total revenues, for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase is due to the general and administrative
expenses related to operating the additional facilities owned or leased by the
Company, and the acquisition by Contour of Atlantic Medical.

For the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred expenses for
income taxes of $2,800,000 which represents an effective tax rate of 38%, as
compared to expenses for income taxes of $3,854,135 which represents an
effective rate of 39% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

The net income of $3,746,932 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, is less
than the net income of $6,115,311 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. 
The net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, is a result of an
extraordinary charge relating to a restructuring of debt and the and the
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 August 16, 1996, 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.

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 terms, however, they

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 does not 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
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 health
care facilities.
