Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
                  with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

On October 10, 1994, National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME"), AMH
Acquisition Co. ("Sub") and AMI signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement"), whereby Sub will be merged with and into AMI (the
"Merger"), and AMI will be the surviving corporation.  Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by the board of directors
of both companies, each share of Common Stock of AMI will be converted into
the right to receive (i) 0.42 shares of Common Stock, par value $.075 per
share of NME and (ii) $19.00 cash if the closing occurs before April 1,

<PAGE> 4

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, NME, MB L.P. I, 1987
Merchant Investment Partnership and CS First Boston Corporation
(collectively, the "Stockholders") entered into the Stockholder Voting and
Profit Sharing Agreement, dated as of October 10, 1994 (the "Agreement"),
relating to the shares of Common Stock, at that time or thereafter
beneficially owned by the Stockholders (the "Stockholder Shares").  

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Stockholders have granted NME
an irrevocable proxy to vote the Stockholder Shares in favor of the Merger,
against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any
material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other
obligation or agreement of AMI under the Merger Agreement and against any
action or agreement that would impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or
attempt to discourage the Merger and the Stockholders revoked any proxy
previously granted by the Stockholders with respect to the Stockholder
Shares.  In connection with this granting of the proxy, the right of
Clipper to vote 11,305,450 of the Stockholder Shares pursuant to an Asset
Management Agreement, dated as of March 6, 1991, as amended, among Clipper,
CS First Boston, Inc. and certain affiliates of CS First Boston, Inc., was,

Calhoun, Jr. to vote the Stockholder Shares, pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of July 30, 1991, among various
stockholders of AMI, was terminated.  As of the date of the Merger
Agreement, Clipper has sole or shared voting or dispositive power with
respect to no shares of Common Stock.
