                   OMEGA HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies in effect as of December 31,
1996,  as set forth in the annual  consolidated  financial  statements  of Omega
Health Systems,  Inc. Certain prior year interim balances have been reclassified
to  conform  to  the  1997  presentation.  In the  opinion  of  management,  all
adjustments  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the  consolidated  financial
statements  have been  included.  The results of  operations  for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.


2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings  per  common  share for 1997 and 1996 were  computed  by  dividing  the
earnings  or  losses  by the  weighted  average  number  of  common  and  common
equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the quarter  (7,788,182  and  5,599,138,
respectively) and the nine month period (7,468,637 and 5,114,445, respectively).

3.  ACQUISITIONS

On March 5, 1997,  the Company  completed the  acquisition  of the assets of the
ophthalmology practice of Sarah J. Hays, M.D., of Birmingham, AL. Simultaneously
with the acquisition,  the Company entered into a long-term management agreement
with Dr. Hays'  professional  corporation.  The assets were acquired in exchange
for 108,081 shares of the Company's  common stock and $859,500 in cash. The cash
portion of the  transaction  was financed under the Company's  revolving  credit
facility with NationsCredit Commercial Corporation (NationsCredit).

On May 1, 1997,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of the assets of the
ophthalmology  practice  of Joseph  F.  Faust,  M.D.,  of  Marion,  IN and a 50%
interest in the associated  ambulatory surgery center.  Simultaneously  with the
acquisitions, the Company entered into long-term management agreements to manage
both the practice and the surgery  center.  The assets were acquired in exchange
for 169,186  shares of the Company's  common stock and $1.7 million in cash. The
cash portion of the  transaction  was  financed  under the  Company's  revolving
credit facility with NationsCredit.

On May 1, 1997,  the Company  completed a merger with Primary  Eyecare  Network,
based in San Ramon, CA. Primary Eyecare Network  provides  products and services
to  independent  optometrists,   including  management,  purchasing,  education,
training,  and publications.  In connection with the merger,  the Company issued
195,365  shares of its  common  stock to the  shareholders  of  Primary  Eyecare
Network and paid $1.9 million in cash. The cash portion of the  transaction  was
financed under the Company's revolving credit facility with NationsCredit.

On August 29, 1997, the Company  completed the acquisition of substantially  all
of the net assets of Dillman Eye Care Associates, an ophthalmology practice, and
Dillman Eye Care  Optical  Department,  Inc. in  exchange  for 66,667  shares of
common stock and $725,000 in cash.  Simultaneously  with the  acquisitions,  the
Company  entered into a long-term  management  agreement to manage the practice.
The cash portion of the transaction  was financed under the Company's  revolving
credit facility with NationsCredit.

                                       7

<PAGE>

On September 30, 1997, the Company  completed the  acquisition of  substantially
all of the net assets of Eye Surgeons and  Consultants  and Golden Eye Surgeons,
two affiliated  ophthalmology practices, in exchange for 89,694 shares of common
stock and $672,700 in cash.  Simultaneously  with the acquisitions,  the Company
entered into a long-term management agreement to manage the practices.  The cash
portion of the  transaction  was financed under the Company's  revolving  credit
facility with NationsCredit.

4.  REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

On February 25, 1997, the Company  entered into a $15,000,000  revolving  credit
agreement   with   NationsCredit   Commercial   Corporation,   an  affiliate  of
NationsBank.  Borrowings  under the  credit  agreement  will be used to  finance
acquisitions,  repay existing  indebtedness  and provide  working  capital.  The
credit  agreement has a six-year  term and is fully  revolving for the first two
years.

5.  CONTINGENCIES

The Company is engaged in the  business  of  providing  support  and  management
services to the eye care  profession,  which subjects it to intense  federal and
state  regulation.  Both state and federal laws prohibit fee splitting and other
forms of compensation  based on patient referral.  These regulations may, in the
future,  be amended or interpreted in such a fashion as to adversely  affect the
business of Omega.

The Company maintains professional liability coverage on a claims made basis for
its centers, employees, and independent contractors, including center directors,
with minimum  requirements of $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 annually.
The  Company  also  maintains  general  liability  coverage.  Additionally,  the
physicians associated with the Company maintain professional liability coverage.
Providing  support  associated with health care services may give rise to claims
from  patients  or others for  damages.  The  Company  has been named in certain
professional liability claims. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution
of these matters will not have a significant  effect on the Company's  financial
position or results of operations.  To the extent that any claims-made  coverage
is  not  renewed  or  replaced  with  equivalent  insurance,   claims  based  on
occurrences during the term of such coverage, but reported  subsequently,  would
be uninsured.  Management anticipates that the claims-made coverage currently in
place will be renewed or replaced with equivalent  insurance as the term of such
coverage expires.

6.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS
No. 128) Earnings per Share for the year ending  December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 128
requires  the  calculation  of basic  earnings  per share  which is  computed by
dividing  net income by the  weighted  average  number of shares of common stock
outstanding  during the period and diluted  earnings  per common  share which is
computed  using the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock,  common
stock equivalents and any other dilutive  securities.  As required,  the Company
will restate the reported  earnings per share.  Basic earnings  (loss) per share
would have been $.27 and $(.06) for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997
and 1996, respectively,  and $.45 and $(.13) for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Diluted  earnings (loss) per share would have
been $.44 and $(.12) for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.
