ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.
 
OPERATING RESULTS
 
  1994 Compared to 1993
 
     Net income was $74,501,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, as
compared to net income of $55,611,000, as restated per discussion below, for the
same period in 1993. Net income for 1994 includes a $2,412,000 extraordinary
charge, net of income taxes, related to the acceleration of unamortized deferred
financing costs related to the refinancings of the Company's Commercial Paper
Program and Morgan Credit Agreement, as well as certain bond refundings. Net
income for 1993 includes a $2,345,000 extraordinary charge, net of income taxes,
related to the acceleration of unamortized deferred financing costs associated
with certain debt that was repaid or refinanced in 1993. During the third
quarter of 1994, the Company completed the merger of American Transitional
Hospitals, Inc. ("ATH") in exchange for 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock. The
merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the
Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated ("as restated")
to reflect ATH's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
each period prior to the merger. The merger of ATH was not material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
 
   
     The Company's annual effective tax rate was 33% for the year ended December
31, 1994, compared to 34%, as restated, for the same period in 1993. The 1994
and 1993 annual effective tax rates were lower than the statutory rate primarily
due to the utilization of certain tax credit carryforwards, partially offset by
the impact of state income taxes. At December 31, 1994, the Company had targeted
jobs tax credit carryforwards of $21,658,000 for income tax purposes which
expire in years 2004 through 2008. For financial reporting purposes, the
targeted jobs tax credit carryforwards have been utilized to offset existing net
taxable temporary differences reversing during the carryforward periods.
However, due to taxable losses in prior years, future taxable income has not
been assumed and a valuation allowance of $198,000 and $15,097,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, has been recognized to offset
the deferred tax assets related to those carryforwards. The valuation allowance
decreased $14,899,000 from January 1, 1994 due to the utilization of targeted
jobs tax credits. The Company expects its annual effective tax rate for 1995 to
increase to approximately 38% due to the utilization of a substantial portion of
certain tax credit carryforwards in 1994 and prior years.
    
 
     Net operating revenues and operating and administrative costs increased
approximately $84,800,000 and $52,600,000, respectively, for the year ended
December 31, 1994, as compared to the same period in 1993. 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 years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 ("same facility operations") of
approximately $215,200,000 and $176,900,000, respectively; increases in net
operating revenues and operating and administrative costs of approximately
$34,800,000 and $35,200,000, respectively, related to the operations of ATH, the
acquisition of three nursing facilities in 1993 and the acquisitions of
Insta-Care and Synetic in 1994; and decreases in net operating revenues and
operating and administrative costs of approximately $165,200,000 and
$159,500,000, respectively, due to the disposition of, or lease terminations on,
77 facilities in 1994 and 43 facilities in 1993.
 
     The increase in net operating revenues for same facility operations for the
year ended December 31, 1994, as compared to the same period in 1993, was due to
the following: approximately $114,100,000 due primarily to increases in Medicaid
room and board rates, and to a lesser extent, private and Medicare room and
board rates; approximately $95,800,000 due to increased ancillary revenues as a
result of providing additional ancillary services to the Company's Medicare and
private-pay patients; approximately $7,600,000 due to a shift in the Company's
patient mix to a higher Medicare census; and approximately $21,000,000 due
primarily to an increase in pharmacy-related revenues and various other items.
The Company's Medicare, private and Medicaid census for same facility operations
was 12%, 19%, and 68%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1994, as
compared to 11%, 19%, and 69%, respectively, for the same period in 1993. These
increases in net operating revenues were partially offset by approximately
$23,300,000 due to a decrease in
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   3
 
same facility occupancy to 89.2% for the year ended December 31, 1994, as
compared to 90.2% for the same period in 1993.
 
     The increase in operating and administrative costs for same facility
operations for the year ended December 31, 1994, as compared to the same period
in 1993, was due to the following: approximately $88,700,000 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 higher acuity patients;
approximately $62,400,000 due to additional ancillary costs (excluding wages and
related expenses) associated with the increase in ancillary services provided to
the Company's Medicare and private-pay patients; approximately $5,200,000 due
primarily to an increase in supplies purchased to meet the needs of the
Company's higher acuity patients; and approximately $20,600,000 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 year ended
December 31, 1994 were $728,408,000 and represented 24.5% of net operating
revenues, as compared to $618,804,000 of ancillary revenues for the same period
in 1993 which represented 21.5% of 1993 net operating revenues. Although the
Company is pursuing further growth of ancillary revenues through expansion of
specialty services, such as rehabilitation and sales of pharmaceuticals, there
can be no assurance that such growth will continue. 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
patients. The Company's overall ancillary costs (excluding wages and related
expenses) were $384,480,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, compared to
$347,951,000 for the same period in 1993.
 
     Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased
approximately $1,400,000 as compared to the same period in 1993 primarily due to
the following: repayment of approximately $45,000,000 of debt in 1993 with a
portion of the proceeds from issuance of the Series B preferred stock and the
conversion of approximately $46,000,000 in principal amount of the Company's 9%
convertible subordinated debentures into shares of Common Stock in 1993, net of
additional interest related to the issuance or assumption of approximately
$243,000,000 of long-term obligations during 1994 in conjunction with certain
acquisitions. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December
31, 1994 increased approximately $5,800,000 as compared to the same period in
1993 primarily due to acquisitions, the opening of newly constructed facilities
and over $100,000,000 of capital additions and improvements, partially offset by
a decrease due to the disposition of or lease terminations on certain
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 continues to be a high priority for the federal
and certain state governments. Although no comprehensive health care reform
legislation has been implemented, the active discussion and
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   4
 
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
insurance coverage to their employees and the creation of a single governmental
health insurance plan that would cover all citizens. 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 future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
     The Company does not provide significant postemployment health care, life
insurance or other benefits to employees. Accordingly, implementation of the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," during 1994 did not materially impact
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. On an
ongoing basis, the Company reviews the carrying value of its notes receivable in
light of any events or circumstances that indicate they may be impaired and
makes adjustments to the allowance for doubtful notes as deemed necessary.
Therefore, the Company does not expect the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan," to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations when implemented in 1995.
 
  1993 Compared to 1992
 
     Net income was $55,611,000, as restated, for the year ended December 31,
1993, compared to a net loss of $12,344,000, as restated, for the same period in
1992. Income before income taxes and extraordinary charge for 1993 was
$87,640,000, as restated, compared to income before income taxes, extraordinary
charge and cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes in 1992
of $6,148,000, as restated. The results for 1992 included a $57,000,000 pre-tax
restructuring charge, discussed below.
 
     During 1993, the Company recorded a $2,345,000 extraordinary charge, net of
income taxes, related to the acceleration of unamortized deferred financing
costs associated with certain debt that was repaid with a portion of the net
proceeds from issuance of the Series B preferred stock, as well as certain bond
refundings. During 1992, the Company recorded $8,835,000 of extraordinary
charges, net of income taxes, related to the acceleration of unamortized
deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of certain debt. In
addition, during 1992, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which resulted in the
recording of a $5,454,000 cumulative effect adjustment.
 
     During 1992, the Company recognized a $57,000,000 pre-tax restructuring
charge related to a program to discontinue the Company's operation of 33 nursing
facilities with historically poor financial performance, and to replace,
relocate or sell certain other assets (the "1992 restructuring program"). The
$57,000,000 pre-tax restructuring charge was comprised of the following:
$28,000,000 related to the anticipated loss on disposal of 33 nursing
facilities; $12,200,000 related to operating losses on such 33 nursing
facilities during the anticipated one-year disposal period; $6,500,000
write-down to net realizable value of four facilities expected to be replaced;
$3,000,000 write-down of corporate headquarters; and $7,300,000 related to
relocation, severance and other costs associated with the centralization of the
Company's accounting, finance and management information systems functions.
 
     The Company's annual effective tax rate was 34% for the year ended December
31, 1993, as restated, compared to 68%, as restated, for the same period in
1992. The higher annual effective tax rate in 1992 resulted from the $57,000,000
pre-tax charge mentioned above which reduced the Company's pre-tax income to a
level where the impact of permanent tax differences and state income taxes had a
more significant impact on the effective tax rate. In addition, the 1993 annual
effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the
utilization of certain tax credit carryforwards.
 
                                        3

     Net operating revenues and operating and administrative costs increased
approximately $276,700,000 and $255,000,000, respectively, for the year ended
December 31, 1993, as compared to the same period in 1992. 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 years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 ("same facility operations") of
approximately $265,700,000 and $261,700,000, respectively; increases in net
operating revenues and operating and administrative costs of approximately
$74,100,000 and $66,900,000, respectively, related to ATH operations and the
acquisition of 14 facilities in 1993 and 16 facilities in 1992; and decreases in
net operating revenues and operating and administrative costs of approximately
$63,100,000 and $73,600,000, respectively, due to the disposition of, or lease
terminations on, 43 facilities in 1993 and 23 facilities in 1992.
 
     The increase in net operating revenues for same facility operations for the
year ended December 31, 1993, as compared to the same period in 1992, was due to
the following: approximately $143,200,000 due to increased ancillary revenues as
a result of providing additional ancillary services to the Company's private and
Medicare patients; approximately $103,200,000 due primarily to increases in
Medicaid room and board rates, and to a lesser extent, private and Medicare room
and board rates; approximately $12,900,000 due to an improvement in the
Company's patient mix; and approximately $11,900,000 due to increases in
pharmacy-related revenues and various other items. The Company's Medicare,
private and Medicaid census for same facility operations was 11%, 19%, and 69%,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to 10%, 19%, and
70%, respectively, for the same period in 1992. These increases in net operating
revenues were partially offset by approximately $5,500,000 due to one less
calendar day during 1993, as compared to 1992.
 
     The increase in operating and administrative costs for same facility
operations for the year ended December 31, 1993, as compared to the same period
in 1992, was due to the following: approximately $106,700,000 due to increased
wages and related expenses principally due to higher wages and greater benefits
intended to attract and retain qualified personnel and the hiring of therapists
on staff as opposed to contracting for their services; approximately
$117,100,000 due to additional ancillary costs (excluding wages and related
expenses) associated with the increase in ancillary services provided to the
Company's private and Medicare patients; approximately $15,100,000 due to an
increase in the provision for reserves on patient, notes and other receivables
primarily as a result of an increase in the Company's private and Medicare
revenues, as well as reductions in the provision for doubtful notes in 1992,
which did not recur in 1993; approximately $5,300,000 due to increases in
supplies and other variable costs required to meet the needs of the Company's
higher acuity patients; and approximately $17,500,000 due primarily to increases
in pharmacy-related costs and various other items.
 
     The Company's overall ancillary revenues for the year ended December 31,
1993, were $618,804,000, as restated, and represented 21.5% of net operating
revenues, as compared to $458,281,000, as restated, of ancillary revenues for
the same period in 1992 which represented 17.6% of 1992 net operating revenues.
The Company's overall ancillary costs, excluding wages and related expenses,
were $347,951,000, as restated, for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared
to $249,509,000, as restated, for the same period in 1992.
 
     Although there was no significant overall fluctuation in interest income in
1993 as compared to 1992, several offsetting items influenced the amounts.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1993 increased approximately
$800,000 primarily due to interest earned on $100,000,000 of the net proceeds
from issuance of the Series B preferred stock, which was significantly offset by
lower investment yield rates and a decrease in the Company's notes receivable.
Interest expense decreased approximately $4,700,000 primarily due to the
repayment of approximately $45,000,000 of debt with a portion of the net
proceeds from issuance of the Series B preferred stock, the conversion of
approximately $46,000,000 in principal amount of the Company's 9% Debentures
into common stock and a reduction in deferred financing costs associated with
the repayment of certain debt. Depreciation and amortization expense for the
year ended December 31, 1993 increased approximately $2,700,000 as compared to
the same period in 1992 primarily due to the acquisition of facilities and over
$80,000,000 of capital additions and improvements in 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     At December 31, 1994, the Company had approximately $67,964,000 in cash and
cash equivalents and net working capital of approximately $242,712,000. The
Company anticipates that approximately $32,709,000 of its existing cash at
December 31, 1994, 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
$103,000,000 of unused commitments under its Revolver/LOC Facility (as defined
herein) as of December 31, 1994.
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31,
1994 decreased approximately $34,769,000 to $94,220,000 as compared to
$128,989,000 for 1993, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable --
patient. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in Medicare
census and changes in certain Medicare billing requirements which lengthened the
billing period for such receivables by 30 days or more. Net cash used for
investing activities was approximately $317,553,000 and net cash provided by
financing activities was approximately $214,239,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994. The Company primarily used cash generated from operations to fund
capital expenditures and construction totaling approximately $108,653,000. The
Company received cash proceeds of approximately $71,000,000 from the sale or
sublease of 58 nursing facilities in Texas, $12,000,000 from the exercise of an
option for 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $12 per share, and approximately
$309,308,000 from the issuance of long-term obligations. Such proceeds were
primarily used to repay approximately $98,340,000 of long-term obligations and
to fund acquisitions of approximately $267,227,000. In April 1994, the Company
filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to register the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued under the
exercise of the option. Such registration did not result in any additional
proceeds to the Company.
 
     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. On February 13, 1995,
the Company 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 Company anticipates that
the acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The transaction
is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of PMSI
stockholder approval.
 
     In November 1994, Pharmacy Corporation of America ("PCA"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, completed the previously announced purchase of
Insta-Care Holdings, Inc., ("Insta-Care") for cash of approximately
$112,000,000, as well as other costs incurred totaling approximately $6,000,000.
Insta-Care provides pharmaceutical dispensing services in six states to
approximately 65,000 patients in nursing homes and correctional facilities. In
December 1994, PCA completed the previously announced purchase of three
institutional pharmacy subsidiaries of Synetic, Inc., ("Synetic") for cash of
approximately $107,300,000, as well as other costs incurred totaling
approximately $5,700,000. The Synetic businesses provide pharmaceutical
dispensing services in New England and Indiana to approximately 45,000 patients
in various institutions, including nursing homes, transitional care facilities,
correctional facilities and group homes.
 
     In December 1994, the Company replaced its commercial paper program with
$50,000,000 of medium term notes (the "Medium Term Notes"). The Medium Term
Notes bear interest at adjusted LIBOR, as defined, plus .35%. The Medium Term
Notes are secured by eligible receivables of selected nursing facilities which
are sold to Beverly Funding Corporation ("Beverly Funding"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
 
     In November 1994, the Company executed a $375,000,000 Credit Agreement (the
"1994 Credit Agreement") which provides for a $225,000,000 Term Loan (the "1994
Term Loan") and a $150,000,000 Revolver/Letter of Credit Facility (the
"Revolver/LOC Facility"). The proceeds from the 1994 Term Loan were used to
consummate the pharmacy acquisitions discussed above. The Revolver/LOC Facility
replaced the Company's revolving credit facility and letter of credit facility
originally entered into in 1993. Currently, the 1994 Term Loan and any Revolver
borrowings bear interest at adjusted LIBOR plus 1%, the Prime Rate,

as defined, or the adjusted CD rate, as defined, plus 1 1/8%, at the Company's
option. Such interest rates may be adjusted quarterly based on certain financial
ratio calculations. The 1994 Term Loan requires quarterly principal and interest
payments through October 1999.
 
     In September 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a
Stockholder Rights Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the distribution of
one Common Stock Purchase Right (the "Rights") for each share of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on November 2, 1994. Under certain
circumstances, the Rights become exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock,
or securities of an acquiring entity, at one-half of market value. The Rights
are designed to protect stockholders in the event of an unsolicited attempt to
acquire the Company and to deal with the possibility of unilateral actions by
hostile acquirors. These Rights are redeemable at the option of the Company at
$.01 per Right. The issuance of the Rights has no dilutive effect on the
Company's earnings per share.
 
     In May 1994, the Company entered into a $25,000,000 promissory note which
bears interest at the rate of 7 3/4% per annum (the "7 3/4% Note"), the proceeds
from which were used to repay higher interest rate debt. The 7 3/4% Note is due
in equal quarterly installments of approximately $708,000, including principal
and interest with a balloon payment due in June 2001. In addition, the Company
has amended certain of its credit agreements in 1994 to change various
restrictive covenants, release certain collateral and adjust the interest rate
calculations.
 
     In 1993, the Company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
$100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of certain debt securities ("Debt
Securities"), which are to be offered from time to time as separate series in
amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of sale. During
1993, the Company issued $20,000,000 of 8 3/4% First Mortgage Bonds, $30,000,000
of 8 5/8% First Mortgage Bonds and $25,000,000 of 8 3/4% Notes under such
registration. As of December 31, 1994, $25,000,000 of aggregate principal amount
of Debt Securities under such registration remained unissued.
 
     Also during 1993, the Company completed the sale of 3,000,000 shares of
$2.75 Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series B
preferred stock") through a public offering. On January 3, 1994, the Company
used approximately $100,000,000 of the net proceeds from such offering to redeem
all of the Company's cumulative convertible preferred stock (the "Series A
preferred stock"). The Series A preferred stock dividend rate was scheduled to
increase from 1% to 10% on January 1, 1994.
 
     The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, working
capital from operations, borrowings under its banking arrangements, issuance of
Debt Securities and refinancings of certain existing indebtedness will be
adequate to repay its debts due within one year of approximately $60,199,000, to
make normal recurring capital additions and improvements for the twelve months
ending December 31, 1995 of approximately $118,000,000, to make selective
acquisitions, including the purchase of previously leased facilities, and to
meet working capital requirements.
