HELIAN HEALTH GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which
were normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly Helian Health
Group's consolidated financial position as of August 31, 1995 and November
30, 1994, and the results of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended August 31, 1995 and August 31, 1994, which results are not
necessarily indicative of results on an annual basis.
2. 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 the rules
and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. These condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Annual Report for the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1994 on Form 10-K.
3. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Helian and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates all
partially-owned subsidiaries where it possesses the ability to exercise
significant influence or control over operating and financial policies of
the subsidiary. The equity method of accounting is generally used when the
Company has a 20% to 50% interest in other entities. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
4. The Company generates revenues principally from the following sources:
Patient revenues are recorded when the service is provided to the patient
and are recognized net of allowances and contractual adjustments related
to third-party payors. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded as
operating expenses.
Management fees and lease income are recorded monthly under agreements
with the Surgecenter of Palo Alto, which is managed by the Company. The
management fees are based on a percentage of gross revenue and adjusted
net income plus all direct costs of Surgecenter personnel. The Company
leases furniture, fixtures and equipment and subleases the facility to the
Surgecenter.
5. Property and equipment consisted of the following:

6. On August 30, 1995, the Company signed a definitive agreement to be
acquired by TheraTx, Incorporated. In exchange for each share of Helian
common stock, TheraTx has agreed to issue shares of its common stock at an
exchange rate ranging between 0.4063 and 0.4809 shares, based upon the
market value of TheraTx common stock prior to the closing of the
transaction. In the event the average of the daily last sales price for
TheraTx common stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately
prior to the fifth trading day prior to Helian's special meeting of
stockholders to consider the proposed merger is less than $12.25, Helian
has the right to terminate the agreement and, in that event, TheraTx is
required to pay Helian $300,000. The transaction is intended as a tax-free
reorganization, will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is
expected to be completed around the end of 1995. The transaction has been
approved by the boards of directors of both companies, but remains subject
to regulatory approvals, approval by the stockholders of Helian and other
customary closing conditions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company had revenues of $9,575,000 and net income of $429,000 for the
quarter ended August 31, 1995, as compared to revenues and net income of
$9,923,000 and $457,000, respectively, for the same period of 1994. For the nine
months ended August 31, 1995, revenues were $26,580,000 with a net loss of
$901,000, as compared to revenues of $28,819,000 and net income of $1,205,000
for the similar period of 1994. Revenues for the nine months were lower
primarily as a result of a decrease in average revenue per patient visit,
partially offset by an increase in patient visits in most of the Company's
operations. During the third quarter of 1995, patient visits increased in most
of these same operations as compared to the same period of 1994; however, lower
revenue per patient visit more than offset this increase resulting in lower
revenues. Average revenue per patient visit decreased for the three and nine
months of 1995 as a result of increased patient discounts, which was primarily
due to the Company's continued transition into a managed care provider system.
Excluding the Surgecenter of Palo Alto, which derives its revenue and net income
from a management contract, total patient visits and average revenue per visit
were 85,400 and $98, respectively, for the third quarter of 1995 as compared to
79,800 and $114, respectively, for the 1994 quarter. For the nine months of
1995, total patient visits and average revenue per visit were 230,500 and $100,
respectively; and 219,900 and $119, respectively, for the 1994 period. The
Company expects that profit margins will likely be reduced as the Company, and
the health care industry in general, transitions from fee-for-service
reimbursement to discounted fee-for-service to a system of capitation or other
risk-based reimbursement arrangement.
Salaries and wages, as a percentage of revenues, remained constant at 37% for
the three months ending August 31, 1995 as compared to 1994, and increased from
35% to 40% for the nine month period of 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994. The increase resulted primarily from hiring additional staff at certain
facilities to service increased business, partially offset by converting full
time positions to "as needed" per diem positions in other facilities.
As a percentage of revenues, employee benefits increased from 5.9% to 6.7% for
the third quarter of 1995 compared to the same quarter of 1994. For the nine
months ended August 31, 1995, employee benefits increased from 6.0% to 8.0%% as
compared to the same nine months of 1994. The increases principally resulted
from higher health and life insurance costs in 1995 as compared to 1994.
Fees to individuals and organizations increased, as a percentage of revenues,
from 9.7% for the three months ended August 31, 1994 to 11.4% for the comparable
period of 1995. For the nine months ended August 31, 1994 and August 31, 1995,
the costs increased, as a percentage of revenues, from 10.1% to 10.9%,
respectively. The increases are a function of increased patient visits due to
the company using higher-priced consultants to service increased business.
Supplies and other expenses decreased, as a percentage of revenues, from 9.0% to
7.4% for the three months ended August 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and
decreased from 9.3% to 7.6% for the nine months ended August 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. Cost containment efforts by the facilities, including enhanced
inventory controls, resulted in lower purchases for 1995. The lower costs were
partially offset by costs related to increased patient visits.
Purchased services increased, as a percentage of revenues, from 5.5% to 6.6% for
the quarters ended August 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and increased from
5.2% to 7.1% for the nine months of 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of revenues, decreased from
7.3% for the third quarter of 1994 to 2.3% for the comparable quarter of 1995,
and decreased from 7.2% to 2.9% for the nine months ending August 31,
6
<PAGE>
1994 and 1995, respectively. The deceases in the provisions resulted from
increases in allowances for doubtful accounts at some of the Company's
facilities during 1994.
Employee severance costs represents a lump sum payment of $800,000 and
associated costs related to the resignation of a former officer of the Company.
The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes,
remained constant at 41% for the third quarters of 1995 and 1994, and for the
nine months ending August 31, 1994. The (benefit from) income taxes, as a
percentage of (loss) before income taxes, was (24%) for the nine months ending
August 31, 1995. The Company's benefit rate of 24% is less than the statutory
rate due to the possibility not all net operating losses will provide future tax
deductions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of August 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of $10,626,000 and a
working capital ratio of 3.51 to 1, compared to working capital of $11,665,000
and a working capital ratio of 3.64 to 1 at November 30, 1994.
The Company's debt to equity ratio decreased from .36 to 1 to .34 to 1 for the
periods ending November 30, 1994 and August 31, 1995, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,322,000 from $4,118,000 at November
30, 1994 to $2,797,000 at August 31, 1995. The decrease resulted primarily from
net investments of $1,014,000 in short-term securities during the period.
Operating activities increased cash by $1,949,000, which was offset by
$1,014,000 from investing activities (excluding short-term investments) and
$961,000 from financing activities. Cash provided from operations in the amount
of $1,949,000 included principally depreciation and amortization, income tax
refund and provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by the net loss,
changes in operating assets and liabilities and deferred income taxes. Cash used
in investing activities in the amount of $2,310,000 consisted primarily of net
purchases of short-term investments, the acquisition of an occupational medicine
medical center and purchases of property and equipment, offset by repayment on
notes receivable and proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Cash used in
financing activities in the amount of $961,000 included primarily payments of
long-term debt.
The Company acquired, on April 3, 1995, a medical center in Fresno, California
which specializes in occupational medicine. The $800,000 purchase price was paid
in cash at the acquisition date.
On April 10, 1995, Thomas D. Wilson resigned as President, Chief Executive
Officer, Chairman of the Board and as a director of the Company. In connection
with the resignation, the Company recorded $866,000 of severance costs.
The Company believes its cash reserves, including cash generated from
operations, and the Company's borrowing capacity, are adequate to meet operating
cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of

director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's

or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,

determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court of equity or such other
court shall deem proper.
(C) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent
