      Net income applicable to common shares is computed by deducting preferred
stock dividends from net income, when dilutive.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were
computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the
weighted average number of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options,
calculated using the treasury stock method.  Conversion of the Company's
cumulative convertible exchangeable preferred stock, 7.625% convertible
subordinated debentures and zero coupon notes would have an anti-dilutive
effect and, therefore, were not assumed.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1995

                                  (UNAUDITED)


  (i)  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, and include all adjustments of a
normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994 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 in these
condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1994
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.  Unless the context
indicates otherwise, the Company means Beverly Enterprises, Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries.

  Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect pooling of interests
accounting treatment for the 1994 merger of American Transitional Hospitals,
Inc. ("ATH").  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the 1995 presentation.

  (ii) The provisions for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1994 were based on estimated annual tax rates of 38% and 33%, as
restated, respectively.  The Company's effective tax rates in 1995 and 1994
were lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of
certain tax credit carryforwards, partially offset by the impact of state
income taxes.  The 1995 annual effective tax rate increased to 38% compared to
33% in 1994 as a result of a substantial utilization of certain tax credit
carryforwards in 1994 and prior years.  The provisions for income taxes consist
of the following for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands):

  (iii)  During the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company purchased
three previously leased nursing facilities (447 beds) and certain other assets
for approximately $12,100,000 cash and approximately $700,000 security and
other deposits.  The Company does not operate two of such facilities which were
subleased to another nursing home operator in a 1993 transaction and currently
remain under lease.

                                                                        
  In December 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Pharmacy 
Management Services, Inc. ("PMSI") in exchange for shares of  the Company's $.10
par value common stock ("Common Stock").  PMSI is a leading nationwide provider
of medical cost containment and managed care services to workers' compensation
payors and claimants.  The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 14,959,209 shares of
Common Stock, all or a portion of which will be used for such acquisition.  The
transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the
receipt of PMSI stockholder approval. The acquisition will be accounted for as a
purchase and is expected to close during the second quarter of 1995.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                 MARCH 31, 1995

                                  (UNAUDITED)


    On April 6, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had, on
that date, preliminarily approved a plan to spin off to its stockholders 80% or
more of the common stock of Pharmacy Corporation of America ("PCA"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which provides institutional pharmacy
services to nursing homes, hospitals and other institutional customers
throughout the United States. The spin-off is intended to be structured  as a
tax-free distribution to the Company's stockholders under Section 355 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The spin-off is subject to numerous
conditions and events which have not been met or determined as of the date
hereof, including obtaining final approval of the spin-off plan by the
Company's Board of Directors, obtaining the contemplated fundings described
below, obtaining regulatory and other third party approvals and confirmation by
independent advisors of the intended tax treatment of the transaction. The
Company does not presently intend to seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service concerning the proposed spin-off. As of the date hereof, no conversion
or distribution ratio has been established by the Company with respect to a
specific number of shares of common stock of PCA to which each stockholder of
the Company would be entitled to receive in the distribution. The Company
anticipates that the record date for determining those stockholders of the
Company who will be entitled to participate in the distribution will occur by
the end of 1995.
 
    In connection with the proposed spin-off transaction, on April 13, 1995, the
Company announced that it was also contemplating a public offering of up to
19.9% of PCA's common stock prior to the distribution of the remainder of such
stock to the Company's stockholders. The Company also announced that PCA may
borrow up to $275,000,000 from banks and other institutional lenders. Neither
the amount of proceeds from any future public offering of PCA's common stock
nor the amount or terms of any anticipated PCA indebtedness is determinable at
this time. It is expected, however, that substantially all of PCA's assets
would be pledged to secure the borrowings. Although no commitments have been
sought or received by the Company or PCA as of the date hereof, the Company
has held informal discussions with various prospective lenders and has received
informal indications from them that the financing appears feasible. Proceeds
from PCA's borrowings and the public offering of PCA's common stock, if
successfully completed, would be used to repay intercompany indebtedness to the
Company, with any remaining proceeds to be paid to the Company as a dividend.
While no determination has been made by the Company as to the specific use of
any cash proceeds received by it from these proposed transactions, such
proceeds may be used to repay debt of the Company, finance acquisitions or
other capital investments, repurchase the Company's stock or for other
corporate purposes. The offering of PCA's common stock would be subject to
customary regulatory and lender approvals, as well as market conditions at the
time, and the proposed PCA borrowings would be subject to the execution of
definitive agreements, the approval of the Company's and PCA's respective
Boards of Directors, and other conditions customary in similar transactions.
There can be no assurances, however, that a public offering of PCA's common
stock will be successfully completed or that PCA will be able to obtain any
funds through borrowings with third parties. Moreover, the Company's Board of
Directors has only preliminarily approved the concept of the spin-off, and has
made no commitment to a formal plan to dispose of the stock of PCA at the
present time. The Company intends to submit to its stockholders later in 1995
the plan to spin-off PCA, and to solicit approval of the proposed spin-off from
its stockholders at that time. Because of the material uncertainties associated
with the proposed spin-off of PCA and related transactions as described above,
there can be no assurances that any of these transactions will be concluded or,
if ultimately concluded, will not be materially different from those described
above.
 


  (iv)  There are various lawsuits and regulatory actions pending against the

  (v)  Effective July 31, 1987, Beverly Enterprises, a California corporation
("Beverly California"), became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beverly
Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Beverly Delaware").  Effective
January 1, 1995, Beverly California changed its name to Beverly Health and
Rehabilitation Services, Inc. ("BHRS") and distributed certain of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries to Beverly Delaware in an effort to better focus
management's attention on specific services delivered by the Company within the
long-term health care arena.  Such subsidiaries include, among others, PCA,
ATH, Beverly Indemnity, Ltd. and Beverly REMIC Depositor, Inc.  Beverly
Delaware (the parent) provides financial, administrative and legal services to
BHRS for which BHRS is charged management fees.

  The following summarized unaudited financial information concerning BHRS is 
being reported because BHRS's 7.625% convertible subordinated debentures due
March 2003 and its zero coupon notes (collectively, the "Debt Securities") are
publicly held. Beverly Delaware is co-obligor of the Debt Securities.  Summary
unaudited financial information for BHRS is as follows (in thousands):

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                 MARCH 31, 1995

                                  (UNAUDITED)


OPERATING RESULTS

FIRST QUARTER 1995 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1994

  Net income was $16,549,000 for the first quarter of 1995, as compared to net
income of $15,115,000, as restated per discussion below, for the same period in
1994.  Income before provision for income taxes was $26,692,000 for the first
quarter of 1995, as compared to $22,559,000, as restated, for the same period
in 1994.  The Company's annual effective tax rate increased to 38% in 1995
compared to 33% in 1994 as a result of a substantial utilization of certain tax
credit carryforwards in 1994 and prior years.  The Company's consolidated
financial statements for 1994 and prior periods have been restated to reflect
the 1994 merger of American Transitional Hospitals, Inc. ("ATH"), which was
accounted for as a pooling of interests.

  Net operating revenues and operating and administrative costs increased
approximately $78,900,000 and $65,400,000, respectively, for the first quarter
of 1995, as compared to the same period in 1994. These increases consist of the
following:  increases in net operating revenues and operating and
administrative costs for facilities which the Company operated during each of
the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 ("same facility operations") of
approximately $60,100,000 and $45,600,000, respectively; increases in net
operating revenues and operating and administrative costs of approximately
$50,100,000 and $47,300,000, respectively, related to the operations of ATH and
the acquisitions of Insta-Care and Synetic in 1994; and decreases in net
operating revenues and operating and administrative costs of approximately
$31,300,000 and $27,500,000, respectively, due to the disposition of, or lease
terminations on, 77 facilities in 1994.

  The increase in net operating revenues for same facility operations for the
first quarter of 1995, as compared to the same period in 1994, was due to the
following:  approximately $31,000,000 due primarily to increases in Medicaid
room and board rates, and to a lesser extent, private and Medicare room and
board rates;  approximately $15,800,000 due to increased ancillary revenues as
a result of providing additional ancillary services to the Company's Medicare
and private-pay patients;  and approximately $15,200,000 due primarily to
increases in pharmacy-related revenues and various other items.  These
increases in net operating revenues were partially offset by approximately
$1,900,000 due to a decrease in same facility occupancy to 88.9% for the first
quarter of 1995, as compared to 89.2% for the same period in 1994.

  The increase in operating and administrative costs for same facility
operations for the first quarter of 1995, as compared to the same period in
1994, was due to the following:  approximately $32,000,000 due to increased
wages and related expenses principally due to higher wages and greater benefits
intended to attract and retain qualified personnel, the hiring of therapists on
staff as opposed to contracting for their services, and increased staffing
levels in the Company's nursing facilities to cover increased patient acuity;
approximately $6,800,000 due primarily to additional ancillary costs incurred
(excluding wages and related expenses) and increased supplies purchased to meet
the needs of the Company's higher acuity patients;  and approximately
$6,800,000 due primarily to increases in pharmacy-related costs and various
other items.

  Ancillary revenues are derived from providing services to residents beyond
room, board and custodial care.  These services include occupational, physical,
speech, respiratory and IV therapy, as well as, sales of pharmaceuticals and
other services.  The Company's overall ancillary revenues for the first quarter
of 1995 were approximately $234,300,000 and represented 29.4% of net operating
revenues, as compared to approximately $170,200,000 of ancillary revenues for
the same period in 1994 which represented 23.7% of net operating revenues for
the first quarter of 1994.  Although the Company is pursuing further growth of
ancillary revenues through expansion of specialty services, such as
rehabilitation therapy and sales of pharmaceuticals, there can be no assurance
that such growth will continue.  See " -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" 
below. Growth in ancillary revenues, as well as increases in Medicare census, 
have also resulted in higher costs for the Company due to the higher acuity 
services being provided to these

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

                                 MARCH 31, 1995

                                  (UNAUDITED)

patients.  The Company's overall ancillary costs (excluding wages and related
expenses) were approximately $94,500,000 for the first quarter of 1995,
compared to approximately $95,700,000 for the same period in 1994.

  Interest expense increased approximately $5,000,000 as compared to the same
period in 1994 primarily due to additional interest related to the issuance and
assumption of approximately $243,000,000 of long-term obligations during 1994
in conjunction with certain acquisitions.  Depreciation and amortization
expense increased approximately $4,200,000 as compared to the same period in
1994 primarily due to acquisitions, the opening of newly constructed facilities
and capital additions and improvements, partially offset by a decrease due to
the disposition of or lease terminations on certain nursing facilities.

  The Company's future operating performance will continue to be affected by
the issues facing the long-term health care industry as a whole, including the
maintenance of occupancy, its ability to continue to expand higher margin
business from Medicare, managed care and private-pay payors, the availability
of nursing and therapy personnel, the adequacy of funding of governmental
reimbursement programs, the demand for nursing home care and the nature of any
health care reform measures that may be taken by the federal government, as
discussed below, as well as by any state governments.  The Company's ability to
control costs, including its wages and related expenses which continue to rise
and represent the largest component of the Company's operating and
administrative expenses, will also significantly impact its future operating
results.

  As a general matter, increases in the Company's operating costs result in
higher patient rates under Medicaid programs in subsequent periods.  However,
the Company's results of operations will continue to be affected by the time
lag in most states between increases in reimbursable costs and the receipt of
related reimbursement rate increases.  Medicaid rate increases, adjusted for
inflation, are generally based upon changes in costs for a full calendar year
period.  The time lag before such costs are reflected in permitted rates varies
from state to state, with a substantial portion of the increases taking effect
up to 18 months after the related cost increases.

  Health care system reform and concerns over rising Medicare costs continue to
be high priorities for the federal and certain state governments.  Although no
comprehensive health care or Medicare reform legislation has been implemented,
the active discussion and issues raised by the Clinton Administration, Congress
and various other groups have impacted the health care delivery system.
Pressures to contain costs and cover a larger percentage of the population have
heightened public awareness and scrutiny over the health care market.  Reform
proposals still under consideration include insurance market reforms to
increase the availability of group health insurance to small businesses,
requirements that all businesses offer health coverage to their employees and
the creation of a single government health insurance plan that would cover all
citizens.  Various discussions and proposals recommending cuts to the Medicare
program, as well as limiting the rate of increase of Medicare expenditures, are
also at the forefront of public debate.  These proposals, as well as industry
and other groups' recommendations, will likely impact the form and content of
any future health care reform legislation.  As a result, the Company is unable
to predict the type of legislation or regulations that may be adopted and their
impact on the Company.  There can be no assurance that any health care reform
or other changes within the health care market will not adversely affect the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  At March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $38,003,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and net working capital of approximately $225,469,000.  The Company
anticipates that approximately $26,031,000 of its existing cash at March 31,
1995, while not legally restricted, will be utilized to fund certain workers'
compensation and general liability claims, and the Company does not expect to
use such cash for other purposes.  The Company had approximately $98,000,000 of
unused commitments under its Revolver/Letter of Credit Facility (the
"Revolver/LOC Facility") as of March 31, 1995.

                                  (UNAUDITED)


  Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 1995 was
approximately $20,434,000, a decrease of approximately $5,413,000 from the
prior year due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable as a result of
increased billing rates and changes in Medicare billing requirements.  Net cash
used for investing and  financing activities was approximately $42,446,000 and
$7,949,000, respectively, for the first quarter of 1995.  The Company primarily
used cash and cash equivalents on hand at January 1, 1995, cash generated from
operations during the first quarter of 1995 and borrowings under its revolving
credit agreement to fund capital expenditures and construction totaling
approximately $28,595,000, to repay approximately $11,196,000 of long-term
obligations and to fund acquisitions of approximately $12,117,000.

  In December 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Pharmacy
Management Services, Inc. ("PMSI") in exchange for shares of Common Stock.
PMSI is a leading nationwide provider of medical cost containment and managed
care services to workers' compensation payors and claimants.  The Company has
filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to register 14,959,209 shares of Common Stock, all or a portion of
which will be used for such acquisition.  The transaction is subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of PMSI stockholder
approval.  The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected
to close during the second quarter of 1995.

  On April 6, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had, on
that date, preliminarily approved a plan to spin off to its stockholders 
80% or more of the common stock of Pharmacy Corporation of America ("PCA"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which provides institutional pharmacy
services to nursing homes, hospitals, and other institutional customers
throughout the United States.  The spin-off is intended to be structured as a
tax-free distribution to the Company's stockholders under Section 355 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The spin-off is subject to numerous
conditions and events which have not been met or determined as of the date
hereof, including obtaining final approval of the spin-off plan by the
Company's Board of Directors, obtaining the contemplated fundings described
below, obtaining regulatory and other third party approvals and confirmation by
independent advisors of the intended tax treatment of the transaction. The
Company does not presently intend to seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service concerning the proposed spin-off. As of the date hereof, no conversion
or distribution ratio has been established by the Company with respect to a
specific number of shares of common stock of PCA to which each stockholder of
the Company would be entitled to receive in the distribution. The Company
anticipates that the record date for determining those stockholders of the
Company who will be entitled to participate in the distribution will occur by
the end of 1995.
 
    In connection with the proposed spin-off transaction, on April 13, 1995, the
Company announced that it was also contemplating a public offering of up to
19.9% of PCA's common stock prior to the distribution of the remainder of such
stock to the Company's stockholders. The Company also announced that PCA may
borrow up to $275,000,000 from banks and other institutional lenders. Neither
the amount of proceeds from any future public offering of PCA's common stock
nor the amount or terms of any anticipated PCA indebtedness is determinable at
this time. It is expected, however, that substantially all of PCA's assets
would be pledged to secure the borrowings. Although no commitments have been
sought or received by the Company or PCA as of the date hereof, the Company has
held informal discussions with various prospective lenders and has received
informal indications from them that the financing appears feasible. Proceeds
from PCA's borrowings and the public offering of PCA's common stock, if
successfully completed, would be used to repay intercompany indebtedness to the
Company, with any remaining proceeds to be paid to the Company as a dividend.
While no determination has been made by the Company as to the specific use of
any cash proceeds received by it from these proposed transactions, such
proceeds may be used to repay debt of the Company, finance acquisitions or
other capital investments, repurchase the Company's stock or for other
corporate purposes. The offering of PCA's common stock would be subject to
customary regulatory and lender approvals, as well as market conditions at the
time, and the proposed PCA borrowings would be subject to the execution of
definitive agreements, the approval of the Company's and PCA's respective
Boards of Directors, and other conditions customary in similar transactions.
There can be no assurances, however, that a public offering of PCA's common
stock will be successfully completed or that PCA will be able to obtain any
funds through borrowings with third parties. Moreover, the Company's Board of
Directors has only preliminarily approved the concept of the spin-off, and has
made no commitment to a formal plan to dispose of the stock of PCA at the
present time. The Company intends to submit to its stockholders later in 1995
the plan to spin off PCA, and to solicit approval of the proposed spin-off from
its stockholders at that time. Because of the material uncertainties associated
with the proposed spin-off of PCA and related transactions as described above,
there can be no assurances that any of these transactions will be concluded or,
if ultimately concluded, will not be materially different from those described
above.
                                                                    
  The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, working
capital from operations, borrowings under its banking arrangements, issuance of
certain debt securities and refinancings of certain existing indebtedness will
be adequate to repay its debts due within one year of approximately
$65,973,000, to make normal recurring capital additions and improvements for
the twelve months ending March 31, 1995 of approximately $118,000,000, to make
selective acquisitions, including the purchase of previously leased facilities,
and to meet working capital requirements.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  There are various lawsuits and regulatory actions pending against the Company
arising in the normal course of business, some of which seek punitive damages.
The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations.

                          BEI and its Subsidiaries will not pay or incur
                 Consolidated Capital Expenditures in any fiscal year set forth
                 below which exceed in aggregate amount for such year the
                 amount set forth opposite such year below:

                 Fiscal year ending December 31, 1993 - $110,000,000;
                 Fiscal year ending December 31, 1994 - $125,000,000;

                 and
                 Each fiscal year thereafter         - $150,000,000;

                 Provided, however, that, if in any fiscal year the
                 Consolidated Capital Expenditures are less than the amount
                 permitted by this Subsection 5.23 (without giving effect to
                 any additional amount permitted by this proviso), the
                 aggregate amount of Consolidated Capital Expenditures
                 permitted in the next succeeding fiscal year will be increased
                 by an amount equal to such shortfall."

         5.      ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GUARANTORS. Each Guarantor acknowledges that
it has reviewed the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and this
Amendment and consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement effected
pursuant to this Amendment. Each Guarantor hereby confirms that the Guaranty
Agreement and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party or otherwise
bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby will continue to guaranty or
secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible the payment and
performance of all Obligations, Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the
applicable Guaranty Agreements) and Secured Obligations (as defined in the
Collateral Documents), as the case may be, including, without limitation, the
payment and performance of all Obligations of Borrower now or hereafter

Amendment and the Notes defined therein.

                 Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any of the
Guaranty Agreements and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party or
otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its
obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired
or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment. Each Guarantor
represents and warrants that all representations and warranties contained in
the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and the Guaranty Agreements

all material respects as of such earlier date.

                 Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i)
notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment,
such Guarantor is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document to consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement

         6.      EFFECTIVENESS; COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. This Amendment (other than the provisions of Section 2) shall
become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by all Lenders and
each of the Loan Parties and receipt of written or telephonic notification of
such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not in any way affect or
impair the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and all terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement are to remain in full force and effect
unless otherwise specifically amended or changed pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Amendment.

         9.      APPLICABLE LAW. This Amendment and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereto and all other aspects hereof shall be deemed to be made
under, shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of
conflicts of laws.
