NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal, recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996 and the results of
operations for the three and six months and cash flows for the six month periods
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for any interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. These interim
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual financial statements and related notes in the Company's
Form 10-K.
2. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
Primary earnings per common and common equivalent share is computed by
dividing the earnings applicable to common stock, as adjusted for the dividends
and accretion on the Preferred Stock (see Note 4) by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents, consisting of dilutive
stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. Earnings per share
assuming full dilution would be substantially the same.
Primary EPS for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are as
follows:

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Approximately 74% of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 1996 was
derived from services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Payment for these
services is made by the Medicare program based on reimbursable costs incurred in
rendering the services. Payments are made via an interim payment rate as
services are rendered. Cost reports are filed with Medicare on an annual basis,
which are subject to
6
<PAGE>
audit and retroactive adjustment by Medicare. The Company reports revenue only
for those costs that it believes are probable (as defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 5) of recovery under the applicable Medicare
statutes and regulations and reports its accounts receivable balances at net
realizable value. The Company utilizes an extensive system of internal controls
to ensure such proper reporting of revenues. The Company employs personnel with
significant Medicare reimbursement experience to prepare its cost reports and to
monitor its operations on an ongoing basis to identify and minimize those costs
which are not reimbursed. As a part of its system of internal controls, the
Company uses a detailed analysis process in calculating its Medicare revenue at
the time services are rendered. This process considers the nature and amounts
of the disputed costs (as described in more detail below) along with several
authoritative, legal and historical sources of information including:
- Applicable statutes and regulations, such as those contained in the Title
XVIII of the Social Security Act, particularly Sec. 1861 (V) (1) (A)
"Reasonable Cost" and 42 C.F.R. 413.9 "Cost Related to Patient Care",
Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) Publication 11 "Home Health
Agency Manual", applicable sections of HCFA Publication 15-1 "Provider
Reimbursement Manual" and intermediary letters and program memoranda
issued by HCFA.
- Administrative decisions and rulings on related issues by the Provider
Reimbursement Review Board and Administrative Law Judges.
- Judicial decisions from Federal District Courts on relevant cases.
- Consultation with independent industry experts such as Medicare Cost
Reimbursement Consultants.
- Opinions of outside legal counsel who specialize in dealing with Medicare
reimbursement issues.
- Historical knowledge gained internally from past Medicare audits.
- Meetings and other communication with Medicare Intermediaries, Blue Cross
Association and HCFA.
This detailed analysis process is updated on a quarterly basis, taking into
account any new information (such as decisions relating to the Company's
disputed costs, and administrative and judicial decisions relating to similar
issues) that may affect the determination of the net realizable value of
accounts receivable or of liabilities to repay amounts received for disputed
costs. Results of this detailed analysis process are extrapolated to other
unaudited cost reporting years for all of the Company's operations, including
operations that have not yet been audited by Medicare, to estimate the gross
amount of reimbursement that would be affected. The Company, through this
ongoing control and monitoring process, provides a reserve (by means of a
revenue reduction) for any costs incurred which the Company believes are not
probable of recovery. This reserve is reported as a reduction of accounts
receivable for disputed costs for which the Company may not ultimately receive
payment. The Company has also reported as a liability disputed costs for which
it has received payment, which may have to be returned to Medicare.
Accordingly, the Company believes that its accounts receivable are stated at net
realizable value, and that it has recorded all probable liabilities for
repayment of disputed costs.
Over the years, Medicare auditors employed by the Medicare fiscal
intermediaries have, in connection with their retrospective audit process, taken
certain positions with respect to certain types of costs, claiming that they are
not reimbursable and thus not recoverable by the Company from the Medicare
program. These positions are based on interpretations promulgated after the
period covered by the cost reports and applied retroactively, on interpretations
of cost reimbursement principles that are contrary to the Company's
interpretations, or on what the Company believes to be misapplications of
specific reimbursement principles, that could not have been foreseen at the time
services were rendered and revenue recorded. These positions taken by Medicare
auditors are usually determined from Medicare's Notice of Program Reimbursement
("NPR") which typically are not received until two to three years after the
7
<PAGE>
services are rendered. In those situations where the Company decides to not
challenge an NPR finding, any revenue relating to these costs, as well as the
extrapolated impact, if any, on other open cost reporting years, if not written
off or provided for earlier, is written off as a revenue reduction at that time.
The results of all NPRs are included in the analysis process in calculating net
Medicare revenue as described above.
The Company has received NPRs challenging $13.8 million of costs as of
March 31, 1996. There was an additional $16.2 million of costs at March 31,
1996 related to open cost reporting years that are similar to the costs that
have been challenged on NPRs. Together these amounts ($30.0 million at March
31, 1996) comprise the total amount the Company considers to be disputed costs.
The major cost category in dispute, accounting for approximately half of total
disputed costs, is the treatment of certain personnel costs relating to the
Company's community liaison positions, which Medicare auditors allege are
unreimbursable sales costs; other costs in dispute relate to the cost of
physical therapists employed by the Company, the method of allocation of
administrative and general costs to branch operations, certain corporate
expenses, and cost transfers within branch operations. These disputed costs
(including the extrapolated impact) of $30.0 million at March 31, 1996 arose in
the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 ($6.0 million), 1994 ($8.2 million),
1993 ($6.5 million), 1992 ($4.4 million), and 1991 ($2.1 million) and $2.8
million for the six months ending March 31, 1996. The amount of disputed costs
has increased over the last several years as the Company's operations have
grown, Medicare auditors have taken positions to disallow certain costs in
certain cost reports as non-reimbursable, and the Company has extrapolated that
amount of costs that may be challenged to other unaudited cost reporting years.
The normal Medicare administrative appeal process may take several years to
resolve these types of disputes.
The Company disagrees with the positions taken by the Medicare fiscal
intermediaries' auditors and the Health Care Financing Administration, and is
vigorously pursuing these matters through administrative and legal channels.
The disputed cost analysis process related to the community liaison and physical
therapist positions (which comprise 61% of disputed costs) encompassed all of
the authoritative, legal and historical sources discussed above. Based on this
review the Company believes that the majority of the community liaison costs are
probable of recovery, and that a relatively small portion of these costs are not
probable of recovery. The Company has established, and is continuing to add to,
a reserve for the portion of these costs not considered probable of recovery.
Since the reserves have been established, the Company has continued to review
whether their level is appropriate. Nothing has occurred in the legal or
administrative process which the Company is pursuing concerning the disputes
which has caused the Company to conclude that the reserve should be changed.
Therefore, no change has been made in the rate of reserve used to record
additional reserves on community liaison related costs incurred on an ongoing
basis. On the physical therapist issue, the Company believes Medicare has no
basis in the regulations for its disallowance of certain costs related to
physical therapists employed by the Company, and therefore the Company has not
established a reserve for these disputed costs. The Company has filed two suits
against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and several
members of the Blue Cross Association which act as fiscal intermediaries to
administer the Medicare program. The two suits related to the community liaison
and physical therapist issues discussed above allege that the defendants have
unjustly withheld payments that are owed to the Company for services it provided
to Medicare beneficiaries from fiscal 1989 through fiscal 1994. Legal opinions
have been received on both the community liaison and physical therapist issues
from an attorney specializing in Medicare reimbursement issues indicating that
it is probable that the Company will prevail in both issues. The Company
received in March a favorable ruling on the physical therapist issue by the HHS
Provider Reimbursement Review Board. This opinion is subject to review and
reversal by the HHS Health Care Financing Administration.
8
<PAGE>
The Company, based on its analysis process, believes that recovery of
$7,246,000 of total disputed costs (including the extrapolated impact) may not
be probable and, accordingly, has established reserves which totaled that amount
as of March 31, 1996. The net amount of disputed costs which the Company
believes is probable of recovery has been included in revenues in the respective
years in which services were rendered and, to the extent not paid to the
Company, is included in accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable (net of
reserves) due from Medicare at March 31, 1996 were $26,945,000, including the
receivables (net of reserves) for disputed costs of $22,718,000. As of March
31, 1996 the Company had received $5,731,000 in payments from Medicare for
disputed costs. Medicare may seek repayment for such amounts and accordingly,
the potential liability for repayments is recorded as Accrued Liabilities -
Third Party. The Company believes it is probable that it has not incurred any
other liability to repay disputed costs. In view of the expectation that
resolution of the disputed costs will not likely be accomplished within the next
twelve months, related net receivables of $19,143,000 as of March 31, 1996 have
been classified as a non-current asset.
The Company's line of credit with a commercial bank expired in December
1995. The Company has obtained new letter of credit facilities for $5,435,000.
The letters of credit are collateralized by secured investments and will expire
on December 12, 1996.
4. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Redeemable convertible preferred stock was issued to Manor Healthcare Corp.
on October 24, 1995. The preferred shares may be redeemed in cash at the option
of the holder or the Company on and after the fifth anniversary of their
issuance. The redeemable preferred shares have voting rights on an as-if
converted basis, and are initially convertible into 10 million common shares at
an initial conversion price of $2.00 per share. The redeemable preferred shares
bear dividends payable quarterly at 12% per annum. The redeemable preferred
stock will accrete over five years from its fair value of $18,500,000 on the
date of issuance to its redeemable value of $20,000,000 as of the redemption
date.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On October 24, 1995 the Company closed an agreement with Manor Healthcare
Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Manor Care, Inc., a national health care and
international lodging firm. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company conducted a
cash self-tender offer and purchased 6,750,000 shares of its common stock (41%
of outstanding) at $3.40 per share and Manor Healthcare purchased 6,750,000
shares from the Company at $3.40 per share. In addition, Manor Healthcare Corp.
invested $20 million to purchase redeemable convertible preferred shares and a
warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$3.75 per share.
The Purchase Agreement with Manor Healthcare Corp. also contemplated that
the Company and Manor Healthcare would enter into agreements or arrangements
which they deem prudent and mutually beneficial for the provision of services
between them on terms that are fair to each party. The Company and Manor
Healthcare entered into an agreement dated February 27, 1996 whereby Manor
Healthcare or its parent company, Manor Care, Inc. will provide to the Company
certain administrative services, financial and treasury management services,
reimbursement matter services, legal services, accounting services and other
similar types of services until June 30, 1996. This agreement is renewable for
three month periods and is terminable upon 90 day notice. Administrative fees
of $1,172,000 were accrued from October 24, 1995 based on a time allocation
method which Manor Healthcare Corp. utilized to charge administrative services
to all of its subsidiaries. Management believes that the foregoing charges are
reasonable allocations of the costs incurred by Manor Healthcare Corp. on the
Company's behalf. Based solely on this accrual, $1,172,000 was payable (but not
paid) to Manor Healthcare Corp. at March 31, 1996.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's level
of operation and financial condition. This discussion should be read with the
consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 1.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by 2%
and 1% respectively over the same periods in the prior year. The decrease is
the result of a 5% decline in Visit division revenue offset by a 12% increase in
extended hours, infusion and hospice revenue.
Direct costs of revenue, as a percentage of sales, were 54% and 55% for the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 57% for the
comparable prior year periods. The decrease was due to reduced volume within
our Visit division along with an increase in general, administrative and selling
expenses.
Total operating expenses increased 2% for the six months ended March 31,
1996 as compared to a slight decrease in revenue. The increase in operating
expenses is principally a result of adding certain management personnel within
In Home Health operations and increased costs associated with establishment of
our Hospice program. The reduced Visit division volume accompanied by increased
costs, has resulted in costs exceeding Medicare allowable reimbursement ceilings
in certain markets.
The increases in general and administrative and selling expenses, combined
with the decreased volume in our Visit division, resulted in an increase in
gross profit for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 to 46% and 45%,
respectively, as compared to 43% for the comparable prior year periods.
General administrative and selling expenses, as a percent of revenue,
increased to 46% and 45% of revenue, respectively, for the three and six months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to 40% for the comparable prior year periods.
This increase is principally a result of the addition of certain management
personnel necessary to meet strategic plans and increased costs associated with
establishment of our Hospice program.
Net interest income was $246,000 and $317,000, respectively, for the three
and six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to net interest expense of $236,000
and $449,000, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Interest
earnings are a result of earnings on the cash proceeds from the investment by
Manor Healthcare Corp. on October 24, 1995 (see Note 5 to the accompanying
financial statements).
For the six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the Company
has recorded income tax expense at 56% and 46% of income before income taxes.
The increase in 1996 in the effective tax rate is due to non-deductible expenses
being a higher proportion of pretax earnings.
10
<PAGE>
Net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 was $126,000
and $224,000 compared to $421,000 and $843,000 in the same periods during the
previous year. The change in year-to-date net income was principally due to
costs exceeding reimbursement ceilings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $18,642,000 to
$22,307,000 at March 31, 1996. The increase in cash was principally a result of
the issuance of preferred stock and common stock warrants to Manor Healthcare
Corp. Approximately 74% of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 1996 was
derived from services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Payment for these
services is made by the Medicare program based on reimbursable costs incurred in
rendering the services. Payments are made via an interim payment rate as
services are rendered. Cost reports are filed with Medicare on an annual basis,
which are subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by Medicare. The Company
reports revenue only for those costs that it believes are probable (as defined
in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5) of recovery under the
applicable Medicare statutes and regulations and reports its accounts receivable
balances at net realizable value. The Company utilizes an extensive system of
internal controls to ensure such proper reporting of revenues. The Company
employs personnel with significant Medicare reimbursement experience to prepare
its cost reports and to monitor its operations on an ongoing basis to identify
and minimize those costs which are not reimbursed. As a part of its system of
internal controls, the Company uses a detailed analysis process in calculating
its Medicare revenue at the time services are rendered. This process considers
the nature and amounts of the disputed costs (as described in more detail below)
along with several authoritative, legal and historical sources of information

- Meetings and other communication with Medicare Intermediaries, Blue Cross
Association and HCFA.
This detailed analysis process is updated on a quarterly basis, taking into
account any new information (such as decisions relating to the Company's
disputed costs, and administrative and judicial decisions relating to similar
issues) that may affect the determination of the net realizable value of
accounts receivable or of liabilities to repay amounts received for disputed
costs. Results of this detailed analysis process are extrapolated to other
unaudited cost reporting years for all of the Company's operations, including
operations that have not yet been audited by Medicare, to estimate the gross
amount of reimbursement that would be affected. The Company, through this
ongoing control and monitoring process, provides a reserve (by means of a
revenue reduction) for any costs incurred which the Company believes are not
probable of recovery. This reserve is reported as a reduction of accounts
receivable for disputed costs for which the Company may not ultimately receive
payment. The Company has also reported as a liability disputed costs for which
it has received payment, which may have to be returned to Medicare.
Accordingly, the
11
<PAGE>
Company believes that its accounts receivable are stated at net realizable
value, and that it has recorded all probable liabilities for repayment of
disputed costs.
Over the years, Medicare auditors employed by the Medicare fiscal
intermediaries have, in connection with their retrospective audit process, taken
certain positions with respect to certain types of costs, claiming that they are
not reimbursable and thus not recoverable by the Company from the Medicare
program. These positions are based on interpretations promulgated after the
period covered by the cost reports and applied retroactively, on interpretations
of cost reimbursement principles that are contrary to the Company's
interpretations, or on what the Company believes to be misapplications of
specific reimbursement principles, that could not have been foreseen at the time
services were rendered and revenue recorded. These positions taken by Medicare
auditors are usually determined from Medicare's Notice of Program Reimbursement
("NPR") which typically are not received until two to three years after the
services are rendered. In those situations where the Company decides to not
challenge an NPR finding, any revenue relating to these costs, as well as the
extrapolated impact, if any, on other open costs reporting years, if not written
off or provided for earlier, is written off as a revenue reduction at that time.
The results of all NPRs are included in the analysis process in calculating net
Medicare revenue as described above.
The Company has received NPRs challenging $13.8 million of costs as of
March 31, 1996. There was an additional $16.2 million of costs at March 31,
1996 related to open cost reporting years that are similar to the costs that
have been challenged on NPRs. Together these amounts ($30.0 million at March
31, 1996) comprise the total amount the Company considers to be disputed costs.
The major cost category in dispute, accounting for approximately half of total
disputed costs, is the treatment of certain personnel costs relating to the
Company's community liaison positions, which Medicare auditors allege are
unreimbursable sales costs; other costs in dispute relate to the cost of
physical therapists employed by the Company, the method of allocation of
administrative and general costs to branch operations, certain corporate
expenses, and cost transfers within branch operations. These disputed costs
(including the extrapolated impact) of $30.0 million at March 31, 1996 arose in
the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 ($6.0 million), 1994 ($8.2 million),
1993 ($6.5 million), 1992 ($4.4 million), and 1991 ($2.1 million) and $2.8
million for the six months ending March 31, 1996. The amount of disputed costs
has increased over the last several years as the Company's operations have
grown, Medicare auditors have taken positions to disallow certain costs in
certain cost reports as non-reimbursable, and the Company has extrapolated that
amount of costs that may be challenged to other unaudited cost reporting years.
The normal Medicare administrative appeal process may take several years to
resolve these types of disputes.
The Company disagrees with the positions taken by the Medicare fiscal
intermediaries' auditors and the Health Care Financing Administration, and is
vigorously pursuing these matters through administrative and legal channels.
The disputed cost analysis process related to the community liaison and physical
therapist positions (which comprise 61% of disputed costs) encompassed all of
the authoritative, legal and historical sources discussed above. Based on this
review the Company believes that the majority of the community liaison costs are
probable of recovery, and that a relatively small portion of these costs are not
probable of recovery. The Company has established, and is continuing to add to,
a reserve for the portion of these costs not considered probable of recovery.
Since the reserves have been established, the Company has continued to review
whether their level is appropriate. Nothing has occurred in the legal or
administrative process which the Company is pursuing concerning the disputes
which has caused the Company to conclude that the reserve should be changed.
Therefore, no change has been made in the rate of reserve used to record
additional reserves on community liaison related costs incurred on an ongoing
12
<PAGE>
basis. On the physical therapist issue, the Company believes Medicare has no
basis in the regulations for its disallowance of certain costs related to
physical therapists employed by the Company, and therefore the Company has not
established a reserve for these disputed costs. The Company has filed two suits
against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and several
members of the Blue Cross Association which act as fiscal intermediaries to
administer the Medicare program. The two suits related to the community liaison
and physical therapist issues discussed above allege that the defendants have
unjustly withheld payments that are owed to the Company for services it provided
to Medicare beneficiaries from fiscal 1989 through fiscal 1994. Legal opinions
have been received on both the community liaison and physical therapist issues
from an attorney specializing in Medicare reimbursement issues indicating that
it is probable that the Company will prevail in both issues. The Company
received in March a favorable ruling on the physical therapist issue by the HHS
Provider Reimbursement Review Board. This opinion is subject to review and
reversal by the HHS Health Care Financial Administration.
The Company, based on its analysis process, believes that recovery of
$7,246,000 of total disputed costs (including the extrapolated impact) may not
be probable and, accordingly, has established reserves which totaled that amount
as of March 31, 1996. The net amount of disputed costs which the Company
believes is probable of recovery has been included in revenues in the respective
years in which services were rendered and, to the extent not paid to the
Company, is included in accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable (net of
reserves) due from Medicare at March 31, 1996 were $26,945,000, including the
receivables (net of reserves) for disputed costs of $22,718,000. As of March
31, 1996 the Company had received $5,731,000 in payments from Medicare for
disputed costs. Medicare may seek repayment for such amounts and accordingly,
the potential liability for repayments is recorded as Accrued Liabilities -
Third Party. The Company believes it is probable that it has not incurred any
other liability to repay disputed costs. In view of the expectation that
resolution of the disputed costs will not likely be accomplished within the next
twelve months, related net receivables of $19,143,000 as of March 31, 1996 have
been classified as a non-current asset.
The Company's line of credit with a commercial bank expired in December
1995. The Company has obtained new letter of credit facilities for $5,435,000.
The letters of credit are collateralized by secured investments and will expire
on December 12, 1996.
The Company's current cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide
sufficient capital to fund the Company's operations and expansion plans through
fiscal 1996.
On October 24, 1995 the Company consummated a Securities Purchase and Sale
Agreement with Manor Healthcare Corp. under which the Company received net cash
proceeds of $18,000,000. These proceeds will be available to the Company for
general corporate purposes. The Company anticipates that it will principally
use the proceeds to invest in the expansion of Company operations into the eight
geographic areas where Manor Healthcare is present and the Company is not, and
to finance the Company's continued operations.
