NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are for
interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the audited annual
consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the footnotes thereto, together with management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 of Rx Medical
Services Corp. (the "Company"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal
recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
and results of operations. The results of operations for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The
December 31, 1997 balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
The Company began operating its hospital management division in 1995 and
revenues include the results of operations from August 1, 1995. In 1996, the
Company began operating two additional hospitals - the Dickenson County Medical
Center located in Clintwood, Virginia ("DCMC") and the Whitwell Medical Center
located in Whitwell, Tennessee ("WMC"). Revenues include the results of
operations of DCMC from April 1, 1996 and WMC from April 1, 1996 to October 31,
1996. In 1997, the Company began operating the Podiatry Hospital of Pittsburgh
("PHP") located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and revenues include the results of
operations from that facility from January 1, 1997.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the medical diagnostic services business
segment has been reflected as discontinued operations in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 which provides for the reporting of
operating results of discontinued operations separately from the continuing
operations.
The Company has experienced significant losses in each of the past three years,
had a working capital deficit of $46.9 million at March 31, 1998, is in default
with respect to certain indebtedness and there are uncertainties regarding the
Company's compliance with federal and state self-referral regulations while
operating its medical diagnostic services business segment. However, the
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern because management believes it has an
attainable plan to overcome these matters and provide sufficient capital to
operate for the coming year. The Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is also dependent on the settlement of various lawsuits and the
continued funding of its operations from its primary lender, National Century
Financial Enterprises, Inc. (the "Financing Source") or an alternative source,
without which funding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern would
be adversely impacted.
While the Company has not yet reached operational profitability, the Company has
several plans in progress to improve profitability, as well as cash flow,
including the continued development of its hospital management and
pharmaceutical products distribution businesses, while also seeking the
acquisition of ancillary related businesses. This expansion will focus on
increased revenues,

market share and positive cash flow. Also, expense reductions are expected to be
achieved through the continuing implementation of aggressive cost cutting and
reorganization strategies.
Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
requires public companies to present basic earnings (net loss) per share and, if
applicable, diluted earnings (net loss) per share for all periods that
statements of operations are presented. The statement is effective for all
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
requires restatement of earnings (net loss) per share for all periods presented.
The Company has only presented basic net loss per share since (a) the potential
common shares of the Company would be anti-dilutive and (b) the Company has
reflected net losses from continuing operations for all periods presented and
thus the diluted net loss per share would be the same as basic net loss per
share.
The following table reflects the computation of the net loss per common share:

Note 4 - Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," requires entities presenting a complete set of financial statements to
include details of comprehensive income that arises in the reporting period in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. The statement does not affect the measurement of the
components of comprehensive income or introduce new categories of comprehensive
income. The statement does not apply to entities that have no items of
comprehensive income in any period presented. This statement is effective for
periods beginning after December 31, 1997. This statement does not apply to the
Company's financial statements as there are no items of comprehensive income in
any of the periods being presented.
Note 5 - Segment Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires disclosure of net profit or
loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and certain asset items by
reportable segments and how reportable segments are determined. The statement
defines a reportable segment as a component of an entity about which separate
financial information is produced internally, that is evaluated by the chief
operating decision-maker to assess performance and allocate resources. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The Company operates in two business segments: the operation and management of
hospitals and medical clinics, and the distribution of pharmaceutical products.
During 1995, the Company discontinued its medical diagnostic services business
segment which has been reported as net liabilities of discontinued operations in
the consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents information on the Company's two business segments
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues from hospitals and medical clinics for the three months ended March 31,
1998 were $4.6 million compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The decrease in revenues from hospitals and medical clinics is
primarily the result of (a) a decrease in patient services provided at DCMC
which resulted in a decrease of revenues of approximately $0.6 million, and (b)
a cumulative decrease at other Company hospital and medical clinics of
approximately $0.1 million.
The pharmaceutical products distribution division generated nominal revenues
during the three months ended March 31, 1998 due to litigation commenced as a
result of a dispute between the Company and its joint venture partner.
Notwithstanding this litigation, the pharmaceutical products distribution
division is moving forward and anticipates generating greater revenues in the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to the revenues generated during the first
quarter of 1998.
Costs and expenses decreased 27% to $4.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Of
these 1998 expenses, hospital management operations accounted for $4.5 million,
pharmaceutical products distribution accounted for $0.1 million, and the
corporate expenses of the Company were $0.3 million. The decrease in costs and
expenses is primarily the result of (a) a decrease in patient services provided
at DCMC resulting in a decrease of costs and expenses of approximately $0.5
million; (b) a decrease in patient services at PHP resulting in a decrease of
costs and expenses of approximately $0.1 million; (c) a decrease in sales from
the pharmaceutical products distribution division resulting in a decrease in
costs and expense of approximately $0.3 million, and (d) a cumulative decrease
at other Company hospital and medical clinics and the Company's corporate
headquarters of approximately $0.4 million.
Interest expense increased 9% to $1.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
increase is due to a higher level of borrowings from the Financing Source. (see
"Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources" below).
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's working capital
deficit increased by approximately $2.0 million to $46.9 million. This increase
in the working capital deficit was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in
the level of funding from the Financing Source as well as operating losses. In
addition, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits. Through March 31,
1998, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
successful resolution of the lawsuits and the continued funding of its
operations by the Financing Source. Without this funding, the Company's ability
to operate its business would be adversely
12 of 15
<PAGE> 13
impacted. As a result of the elimination by the Company of a portion of its
unprofitable operations, the continued dependence on the Financing Source has
been lessened. However, until the Company's revenues increase so as to exceed
the Company's operating expenses, the Company will continue to utilize funding
from the Financing Source, or other alternative sources of funding, to the
extent available. To the extent fundings from the Financing Source are
insufficient to pay the Company's operating expenses, the Company will require
alternative sources of funding. There can be no assurance that any alternative
sources of financing will be available to the Company at such point in time, or
if obtainable, on terms that are commercially feasible.
The Company's continuing operations are presently being funded through financing
agreements with the Financing Source and the Company's various operating
subsidiaries. Agreements to finance eligible accounts receivable exist with five
of the Company's operating subsidiaries.
While the Company has not yet reached profitability operationally, it has
several plans of action in progress designed to improve profitability as well as
cash flow. The Company has divested a portion of its loss operations and will
continue to pursue additional sources of revenues by expanding its hospital
operations and other specialty medical services.
GOING CONCERN
The reports of the independent auditors of the Company on its 1997, 1996 and
1995 consolidated financial statements express substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Factors contributing to this
substantial doubt include recurring operating losses, a working capital
deficiency and delinquencies, defaults on its accounts payable and other
outstanding liabilities, litigation, as well as to the uncertainty of the
Company's compliance with certain Medicare and state statutes and regulations.
As of January 1, 1995, the Company's subsidiary that operated the medical
diagnostic services business segment ("Manatee") was unable to comply with
certain provisions of the OBRA 1993 amendments to the Stark Act, as well as,
certain similar state statutes. Although the Company has not been the subject
of, and is not currently the subject of, any administrative proceedings
concerning violations of federal or state self-referral statutes or regulations,
in the event that the Company is found to have violated such statutes and
regulations, it could be subject to cumulative fines and penalties and could
also be required to make refunds, which may aggregate up to approximately $50.0
million. The Company believes, however, that due to the filing of the Chapter 7
bankruptcy petition for Manatee in April 1996, the likelihood of such
enforcement actions occurring is remote.
As mentioned in the Financial Condition section, the Company is dependent on the
continued funding currently being received from the Financing Source to continue
operations. The discontinuance of such funding, and the unavailability of
financing to replace such funding, could result in the Company ceasing its
operations.
