shareholders have signed a covenant not to compete. The Partnership is
amortizing the cost of the covenant not to compete over its term (96 months).

a 120-bed long-term health care center located in Naples, Florida.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net income for the first quarter rose 28% to $3,226,000 from $2,527,000
for the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings per unit increased to 37
cents from 31 cents, a 19% increase. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31
were up 19% to $68,543,000 compared to $57,311,000 a year earlier.
Salaries, wages and benefits, the largest operating costs of the Company,
were $37,345,000 for the three-month period this year, a 22% increase over
$30,642,000 last year. These increases are due primarily to inflationary wage
increases and to the increased number of employees because of growth. Net
revenue experienced a 19% increase for the same period.
The increased revenues and earnings for the quarter reflect continued
strength from operations. Compared to the quarter a year ago, NHC has
increased the number of owned or leased beds from 5,766 beds to 6,056 beds.
The number of beds managed for others has increased from 5,038 beds to 5,945
beds. The number of homecare locations has increased from 17 locations to 30
locations. These increases in numbers of beds and locations as well as
increased emphasis on rehabilitative services are the primary contributors to
the 19% increase in revenues for the quarter.
The total census for the quarter averaged 93.9% compared to an average of
93.1% for the same quarter a year ago.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1994, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities is
2.3 to 1. Working capital is $55,568,000. These financial resources with
anticipated funds from future operations are expected to be adequate to enable
the Partnership to meet its working capital requirements and expansion goals.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations (continued)
Development
NHC presently has 778 beds under development in five states. These beds
are either under construction or a Certificate of Need has been received from
the appropriate state agency authorizing the construction of additional centers
or beds.
The quarter included the addition of two owned centers and the purchase of
a Panama City-based homecare company. The new centers are a newly construction
83-bed center in Lexington, South Carolina and a three year old 120-bed center
in Naples, Florida. Both centers offer 24 hour nursing care as well as a
full-range of rehabilitative services. In addition, the Naples center uses 60
of its 120 beds for assisted living services and the Lexington center has a
12-bed subacute care unit. The homecare company purchase allowed us to expand
our homecare services to Florida cities such as Panama City, Port St. Joe,
Carrabelle, Crawfordville, Tallahassee, Madison, Perry, Blountstown, Marianna,
Quincy, Chipley and surrounding areas. We have 37 long-term care centers in
the state of Florida and providing homecare at these locations will allow
thousands of patients to receive professional nursing care and speech, physical
and occupational therapy in their homes. We made 318,588 homecare visits in
1993 and we expect to make approximately 700,000 visits in 1994.
NHC now operates 96 long-term health care centers with 12,010 beds.
Cash Distributions
On February 14, 1994, NHC paid a cash distribution of 24 cents per unit to
unitholders of record on December 31, 1992. This payment was the last cash
distribution related to regular earnings for 1992.
On January 10, 1994, NHC paid a special cash distribution of $1.10 per
unit to unitholders of record on December 1, 1993. This payment was paid to
unitholders to help defray taxes on the capital gain of $3.24 per unit related
to the sale in 1993 of the company's investment in VHA Long Term Care.
NHC has also announced its first regular quarterly distribution for 1994.
The distribution, in the amount of 31 cents per unit, is to be paid May 13 to
unitholders of record on March 31.
NHC intends to distribute approximately 60% of ordinary taxable income to
