PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
| (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
| could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
| (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
| Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be
| filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
[X] | prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition

| the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
| (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
On January 18, 2000, MPAN and substantially all of its subsidiaries, including
Mariner Health Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions (the
"Chapter 11 Filings") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. (S)101. As a result
of the large and complex nature of the Chapter 11 Filings, the preparation
therefor, as well as attending to various post-petition matters such as first
day orders and debtor-in-possession financing arrangements, management has been
unable to devote the necessary resources required in order to make a timely
filing of the Form 10-Q referred to above.
(Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained
in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently
valid OMB control number.

notification.
Richard H. Miller (404) 572-6787
---------------------------- -------------- -------------------------
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that
the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is
no, identify report(s). [ ] Yes [X] No
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by
the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof? [X] Yes [ ] No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
MPAN expects to report a Net Loss of approximately $60 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1999, compared to a Net Loss of $39 million for
the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increased loss is
attributable to the substantially reduced revenues caused (i) by the full
implementation of the Prospective Payment System which was only partially
implemented during the same period of the prior fiscal year; and (ii) by
exiting the therapy, home health and contract management services
businesses.
