                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
  MARINER HEALTH GROUP, INC.

    We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of Mariner
Health Group,  Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1994 and
1995 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  cash flows and
stockholders'  equity for each of the three years in the period  ended  December
31, 1995.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  based on our audits.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  give
effect  to two  poolings  of  interests  as  described  in  Notes 2 and 3 to the
consolidated financial statements.  We did not audit the financial statements of
Pinnacle  Care  Corporation,   whose  financial   statements  represent  39%  of
consolidated  revenues for the year ended  December 31, 1993.  These  statements
were examined by another  auditor whose report thereon has been furnished to us,
and our opinion expressed herein,  insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Pinnacle Care Corporation, is based solely on the report of another auditor.

    We conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe  that our  audits  and the  report of the other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our  opinion,  based on our audits and the report of the other  auditors,
the financial  statements  referred to above,  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the consolidated financial position of Mariner Health Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the  consolidated  results of
their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  December  31,  1995 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                  MARINER HEALTH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

    Mariner  Health Group,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  ("Mariner" or the "Company")
provides  post-acute  health care services in selected markets with a particular
clinical  expertise  in  the  treatment  of  short-stay   subacute  patients  in
cost-effective  alternate  sites.  Subacute  patients are  medically  stable and
generally  require  between three to six hours of skilled  nursing care per day.
These  patients  typically  can benefit  from  standardized  clinical  programs,
require  extensive  ancillary  medical  services and are discharged  directly to
their homes.

    Mariner  owns,  operates  and  manages  freestanding  inpatient  facilities,
provides  rehabilitation  program  management  services to other skilled nursing
facilities and operates outpatient  rehabilitation clinics,  pharmacies and home
health agencies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

    The consolidated  financial statements of Mariner have been prepared to give
retroactive effect to the mergers with Pinnacle Care Corporation on May 10, 1994
and MedRehab,  Inc.  ("MedRehab"  or "MRI") on March 1, 1996,  each of which was
accounted  for  as  a  pooling  of  interests.   Accordingly,  the  accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and
operations of MedRehab for all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

    The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Company.
All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Estimates Used in Preparation of Financial Statements

    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  effect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Estimates
are used when accounting for the  collectibility  of receivables and third party
settlements,  depreciation and amortization,  employee benefit plans,  taxes and
contingencies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash and cash  equivalents  consist of cash and short-term  investments with
original maturities of three months or less.

Net Patient Service Revenue


    Net patient service  revenues  include patient revenues payable by patients,
amounts  reimbursable  by third party  payors  under  contracts,  rehabilitation
therapy  service  revenues  from  management  contracts  to provide  services to
non-affiliated  skilled nursing  facilities and other entities and revenues from
the Company's  medical products and home health care services.  Patient revenues
payable by patients at the  Company's  facilities  are  recorded at  established
billing rates.  Patient  revenues to be reimbursed by contracts with third-party
payors  are  recorded  at  the  amount  estimated  to be  realized  under  these
contractual  arrangements.  Revenues  from  Medicare and Medicaid are  generally
based on reimbursement of the reasonable  direct and indirect costs of providing
services to program  participants or a prospective  payment system.  The Company
separately  estimates  revenues  due from each  third  party with which it has a
contractual  arrangement and records anticipated  settlements with these parties
in the  contractual  period  during which  services were  rendered.  The amounts
actually  reimbursable under Medicare and Medicaid are determined by filing cost
reports which are then subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by the payor.
Legislative  changes  to  state  or  federal   reimbursement  systems  may  also
retroactively  affect recorded  revenues.  Changes in estimated  revenues due in
connection with Medicare and Medicaid may be recorded by the Company  subsequent
to the year of  origination  and  prior to final  settlement  based on  improved
estimates.  Such  adjustments and final  settlements with third party payors are
reflected in operations at the time of the adjustment or settlement.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)

    In  addition,  indirect  costs  reimbursed  under the  Medicare  program are
subject to regional  limits.  The Company's costs generally  exceed these limits
and accordingly, the Company is required to submit exception requests to recover
such excess  costs.  The Company  believes it will be  successful  in collecting
these  receivables,  however,  the failure to recover  these costs in the future
could materially and adversely affect the Company.

    The Company's  rehabilitation  management contracts typically have a term of
one year but frequently include automatic renewals and in general are terminable
on notice of 30 to 90 days by either  party.  Under certain  contracts,  Mariner
bills Medicare or another third-party payor directly. Under other contracts, the
Company is compensated on a fee for service basis and in general  directly bills
the  skilled  nursing  facility,  which  in  turn  receives  reimbursement  from
Medicare,  Medicaid,  private  insurance  or  the  patient.  Mariner  recognizes
payments  under these latter  contracts as payments from private  payors.  Under
these latter contracts, Mariner also generally indemnifies its customers against
reimbursement  denials by third-party  payors for services  determined not to be
medically necessary.  Mariner has established internal  documentation  standards
and systems to minimize denials and typically has the right to appeal denials at
its expense. Historically, reimbursement denials under these contracts have been
insignificant.

Other Income

    Other  income  consists  primarily  of fees earned from  contracts to manage
inpatient sub-acute care units of non-affiliated  health care facilities and, in
1995,   includes  fees  of  $11,227,000   relating  to  the  management  of  the
Convalescent  Services,  Inc.  ("CSI")  facilities.  A  director,   officer  and
stockholder  of CSI during 1995 was also a director  of the  Company  during the
period in which these fees were earned (see Note 3).

Facility Operating Costs


    Facility  operating  costs  include  nursing  expenses  for the years  ended
December 31, 1993,  1994 and 1995 of $34,758,000,  $35,039,000 and  $50,738,000,
respectively.  All other expenses included in facility  operating costs, such as
rehabilitation  and  ancillary  services,  administration,   dietary  and  plant
operations,  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  1993,  1994  and  1995  were
$133,027,000, $173,652,000 and $225,895,000, respectively.


Property, Plant and Equipment

    Property,  plant and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Betterments  and major
renewals are capitalized  and included in property and equipment,  while repairs
and maintenance  are charged to expense as incurred.  Upon retirement or sale of
assets,  the  cost  of the  assets  disposed  of  and  the  related  accumulated
depreciation  are removed from the accounts,  and any resulting  gain or loss is
reflected in the statement of operations.

    The provision for depreciation is computed using the  straight-line  method.
Depreciation provisions are based on estimated useful lives as follows:

    Building and improvements -- 15-40 years


    Furniture and equipment -- 3-8 years


    Leasehold rights and improvements -- Over the shorter of the remaining
                                         term of the lease or life of the
                                         asset

Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Assets

    Goodwill,   intangibles  and  other  assets  primarily  consist  of  amounts
identified in connection with certain facility acquisitions  accounted for under
the  purchase  method,  and  certain  deferred  costs  which  were  incurred  in
connection with various financings.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)

    In connection with each of its acquisitions,  the Company reviews the assets
acquired and assesses  their  relative  fair value in comparison to the purchase
price. Goodwill results from the acquisition of certain facilities for which the
negotiated  purchase  prices exceed the  allocations of the fair market value of
identifiable  assets.  The  Company's  policy is to  evaluate  each  acquisition
separately and identify an appropriate amortization period for goodwill based on
the acquired property's  characteristics.  Goodwill is being amortized using the
straight-line method generally over a 40 year period.


    Costs incurred in obtaining  financing are amortized using the straight-line
method, over the term of the related financial obligation.  Amortization expense
related to  intangible  assets for the years ended  December 31, 1993,  1994 and
1995 was $1,645,000, $2,396,000 and $3,112,000, respectively.


    The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets
(primarily  property,  plant and equipment and intangible  assets) to assess the
recoverability of these assets; any impairments would be recognized in operating
results  if a  permanent  diminution  in value  were to  occur.  As part of this
assessment,  the Company  reviews the expected  future net operating  cash flows
from its  facilities,  as well as the values  included in any of its facilities,
which have periodically been obtained in connection with various refinancings.

Income Taxes

    The Company  follows the  provisions  of Statement  of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109),  "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires
the use of the liability  method of accounting  for deferred  income taxes.  The
Company's  policies  regarding  depreciation  for financial  reporting  purposes
differ from those used for tax purposes,  thereby giving rise to deferred income
taxes.  For federal  income tax purposes,  Mariner  Health  Group,  Inc. and its
subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts


    Provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable of $1,595,000,  $1,338,000,
and $3,698,000 are included in facility  operating  expenses for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.


Stock-based Compensation

    In 1996, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation." This standard will require
the Company to report the fair value for stock-based  compensation  plans either
through recognition or disclosure. The Company intends to adopt this standard by
disclosing  the pro forma net  income  and pro forma net  income  per common and
common  equivalent  share amounts  assuming the fair value method was adopted on
January 1, 1996.  The adoption of this  standard  will not impact the  Company's
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Reclassifications

    Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified to conform to the current
year financial statement presentation.

3. MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

    On  January  14,  1993,  the  Company  acquired  the  assets  of a  contract
rehabilitation therapy business for $3,000,000 payable in a $1,750,000 five-year
promissory note payable with interest in arrears at the rate of 7% per annum and
$1,250,000  in cash.  The  purchase  agreement  also  contains a  provision  for
additional  payments if certain minimum  revenues and earnings  requirements are
met. These provisions

expire in 1997.  Because certain minimum revenue and earnings  requirements have
been met, Mariner is also obligated to pay the sellers of this business, who are
now  employees  of the  Company  (one  of whom  was an  executive  officer),  an
additional  $1,600,000  in cash and options to purchase  20,000 shares of Common
Stock  granted in  connection  with this  transaction  have become  vested.  The
payments  totaling  $1,600,000 are payable in four equal annual  installments of
$400,000. Such payments began in April 1995. The contract rehabilitation therapy
business  was  comprised of three  rehabilitation  service  companies  providing
various  types of therapies to clients in  Massachusetts  and  Connecticut.  The
assets  purchased  by  the  Company  consisted   primarily  of  customer  lists,
inventories,  equipment  and other assets.  Any  additional  payments  under the
agreement are being accounted for as goodwill.

    During  January  1994,  the Company  entered into a definitive  agreement to
merge with Pinnacle Care Corporation. On May 10, 1994, Pinnacle Care Corporation
and its  subsidiaries  was merged with and into the Company.  Under terms of the
merger agreement,  4,857,143 shares of the Company's Common Stock were exchanged
for all the  outstanding  stock and options to purchase  stock of Pinnacle  Care
Corporation.  The merger was consummated  during the second quarter of 1994 in a
tax-free,  stock-for-stock transaction which has been accounted for as a pooling
of interests.

    Operating  results of the separate  companies for the periods  preceding the
acquisition are as follows:

</TABLE>

    The combined  financial results presented above include  adjustments made to
conform accounting policies of the two companies.  The only adjustment impacting
net income was the  restatement  of Pinnacle's  provision for income taxes under
the accounting  methods  prescribed by SFAS No. 109, to reflect the  retroactive
adoption in 1991 in order to be consistent with the Mariner presentation.  There
were no  intercompany  transactions  between the two  companies  for the periods
presented.


    During 1994,  the Company  recorded a general and  administrative  charge of
$9,327,000  of  which  $7,952,000  related  to  the  merger  with  Pinnacle  and
$1,375,000 related to the accelerated  vesting of certain stock options.  Of the
merger  costs,  approximately  $4,627,000  was expensed for employee  severance,
payroll and relocation,  $2,878,000 was expensed for transaction costs including
investment  bankers',  legal and  accounting  fees,  $172,000  was  expensed for
customer relations, $150,000 was expensed for operations relocation, $66,000 was
expensed for investor relations and $59,000 was expensed for employee relations.

    During 1994,  the Company  acquired  property,  plant and equipment of eight
facilities  with  an  aggregate  of  892  beds.  The  Company  paid a  total  of
approximately $58,250,000,  using approximately $14,750,000 cash and $43,750,000
of borrowings under the revolving  credit  facility.  The acquisitions are being
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase
prices have been allocated to the assets  acquired based on their fair value and
the  excess  purchase  price  totaling  $28,237,000  has been  accounted  for as
goodwill.

3. MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS -- (CONTINUED)

    Also  during  1994,  the  Company  acquired a pharmacy  and home health care
business in Connecticut. The consideration paid by the Company for this business
consisted of $3,655,000 in cash (of which approximately  $3,500,000 was borrowed
under the  revolving  credit  facility) and a $500,000 note payable in quarterly
installments  over  three  years  which  bears  interest  at 6% per  annum.  The
acquisition   was  accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly,  the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired based on their
fair value. The excess of $3,087,000 has been accounted for as goodwill.

    In March 1995, Mariner acquired a 60-bed skilled nursing facility located in
St. Petersburg, Florida for $2,500,000 in cash.

    A definitive agreement to merge with Convalescent Services, Inc. ("CSI") had
originally  been  announced  on January 9, 1995.  At the time,  CSI  operated 25
skilled nursing facilities,  one rehabilitation hospital and one continuing care
retirement  community,  with an aggregate of 3,801 beds (the "CSI  Facilities").
The CSI Facilities are  concentrated  primarily in Florida and Texas.  Under the
terms of the definitive  agreement,  the Common Stock consideration was fixed at
5,853,658  newly  issued  shares of Mariner  Common  Stock.  On April 11,  1995,
Mariner shareholders voted to approve the proposed combinations with CSI. In the
interim,  a number  of  conditions  relating  to the  closing  of this  business
combination had not be satisfied.


    Therefore on May 24, 1995 (the "May 1995 Closing"),  Mariner and CSI entered
into a Management  Agreement  (the  "Management  Agreement"),  pursuant to which
Mariner managed all of CSI's  facilities and operations  until the closing which
occured on January 2, 1996 (the "Closing"),  for a monthly  management fee equal
to 6% of the gross  operating  revenue of CSI's  facilities.  In addition,  upon
termination of the Management Agreement, Mariner received a bonus management fee
equal to the net income of the facilities  managed by Mariner during the term of
the agreement  subject to certain  adjustments  (see Note 12).  Mariner received
$11,227,000 of management  fees from facilities  controlled by the Kelletts.  Of
this amount,  $10,288,000 was from facilities  which were acquired by Mariner on
January 2, 1996. In addition,  Mariner acquired  substantially all the assets of
Convalescent  Supply  Services,  Inc., a Georgia  corporation  ("CSSI") owned by
Stiles A Kellett,  Jr. and Samuel B. Kellett ("the  Kelletts"),  which  provides
enteral,  urological,  wound care and ostomy products to CSI's  facilities.  The
purchase  price of CSSI's assets was  $6,500,000  in cash and the  assumption of
CSSI's trade  payables.  At the May 1995 Closing,  Mariner  acquired  options to
purchase 12 of the facilities  leased by CSI from  affiliates of the Kelletts at
fair market value (the  "Options").  At the May 1995  Closing,  the Company also
deposited an aggregate of $15,000,000 to be credited against the purchase prices
for two of the skilled nursing  facilities to be acquired at the Closing and for
the facilities which may be acquired upon exercise of the Options.  Mariner also
paid a $4,500,000 deposit to the CSI stockholders, which was credited by Mariner
to the purchase  price paid in cash at the  Closing.  On January 2, 1996 the CSI
Merger was consummated. As a result of the CSI Merger, CSI became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.  The total  purchase  price of CSI was  approximately
$218,000,000,  which  consists of the  assumption of debt and capital  leases of
$110,000,000, $59,000,000 of common stock, $30,000,000 of cash and assumption of
various other liabilities of $19,000,000.  Goodwill of approximately $82,000,000
was recorded in this transaction.


    In June 1995,  Mariner  purchased  a 150-bed  skilled  nursing  facility  in
Nashville,  Tennessee,  for a total purchase price of approximately  $8,500,000.
The purchase price was financed under the Company's  revolving  credit facility.
Approximately $2,400,000 of goodwill was recorded in this transaction.

    Also in June 1995,  the Company  purchased an 80,000 square foot building in
New London,  Connecticut  to serve as its corporate  headquarters.  The purchase
price of the new building was  $3,050,000  and was financed  under the Company's
revolving  credit  facility.  The Company  completed its  relocation in October,
1995.

    In October 1995,  Mariner  completed an acquisition  of six skilled  nursing
facilities  with an aggregate of 686 beds in central and northern  Florida.  The
purchase price for the transaction was $42,800,000,

comprised of $33,000,000 in cash and debt in the amount of $9,800,000.  The cash
portion of the transaction was financed  through  borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility.  The six facilities  include two in Orlando,  and one
each  in  Daytona,   Inverness,   Baker  County  and  Melbourne.   Approximately
$14,300,000 of goodwill was recorded in this transaction.

    Also in  October  1995,  the  Company  acquired  an  institutional  pharmacy
operation based in Dallas,  Texas, for the total purchase price of approximately
$1,623,000.  The purchase  price was financed  through the  Company's  revolving
credit facility and issuance of a note to the seller.

    All of the 1995 acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method.

    During 1995, the Company accrued general and  administrative  costs totaling
$8,073,000  related  to the  merger  with CSI and the  consolidation  of various
regional and satellite  offices to the New London,  Connecticut  office. Of this
total charge,  approximately $3,691,000 relates to severance and related payroll
costs and  approximately  $4,382,000  relates to expenses  incurred to close the
regional offices.


    As of December 31, 1995,  other accrued expenses  includes  $2,526,000 which
has been  accrued  primarily to pay  remaining  scheduled  severance  amounts to
certain employees.

    On March 1, 1996, the Company consummated a merger with MedRehab,  a company
whose primary  business is contract  rehabilitation  therapy.  Mariner issued an
aggregate  of  approximately  2,312,500  shares of its  Common  Stock for all of
MedRehab's  outstanding  capital stock and options to purchase  MedRehab capital
stock in a merger that was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

    Operating  results for the separate  companies for the period  preceding the
acquisition are as follows:

1993 Transactions

    As of June 30,  1993,  the  former  MedRehab  adopted a plan to  restructure
certain operations.  In connection therewith, all operations then in Florida and
certain clinics in Texas,  Illinois, and Wisconsin were closed and the workforce
reduced and relocated its  headquarters.  A restructuring  charge of $15,457,000
was established at June 30, 1993, and was comprised of the following components:

</TABLE>

    During 1995 and 1994,  approximately  $288,000 and  $2,056,000 of costs were
charged against the  restructuring  reserve.  Also, as a result of restructuring
actions taken and changes in the Company's estimates,  restructuring reserves of
approximately  $690,000  in  excess  of those  estimated  to be  necessary  were
reversed and reflected as income in 1994.

4. DISPOSITIONS OF FACILITIES -- (CONTINUED)


    The Company  operated a nursing  facility  under an  operating  lease set to
expire in November 1993. The owner of the building  notified the Company that it
would allow the lease to expire  without  renewal and would begin  operating the
facility itself. The transition occurred without any continuing liability on the
part of the Company.  For the year ended  December  31,  1993,  the facility had
$3,532,000 of net patient service revenue and $181,000 of income from continuing
operations  before income taxes,  extraordinary  items and cumulative  effect of
changes in accounting principle.

    Effective January 31, 1994, the Company executed an agreement to sell one of
its nursing  centers.  The sale price was  $2,715,000  in the form of $2,465,000
cash and a $250,000 note to be secured by a first lien on a leasehold  right the
purchaser has in connection with a sale-leaseback  financing of the acquisition.
The sale  resulted in a pretax  loss of  approximately  $115,000.  For the years
ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, the facility generated $2,428,000 and $403,000
of net patient service revenue, respectively, and $31,000 and $202,000 of income
from  continuing  operations  before  income  taxes,   extraordinary  items  and
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, respectively.

    There were no assets held for sale at December 31, 1995.

5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


    Financial  instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist  primarily of temporary cash  investments in money market
funds  and  repurchase   agreements  with  a  financial  institution  and  trade
receivables.  Approximately 17% and 10% of the Company's accounts receivable and
estimated settlements due from third party payors are from Medicaid programs and
31%  and  21% are  from  Medicare  programs  at  December  31,  1994  and  1995,
respectively.  There have been, and the Company expects that there will continue
to be, a number of proposals to limit reimbursement allowable to skilled nursing
facilities.  Should the related  government  agencies  suspend or  significantly
reduce contributions to these programs,  the Company's ability to collect on its
receivables would be adversely affected.  Management believes that the remaining
receivable  balances  from various  payors,  including  individuals  involved in
diverse activities, subject to differing economic conditions, do not represent a
concentration of credit risk to the Company. Management continually monitors and
adjusts  its  allowance  for  doubtful   accounts  and  contractual   allowances
associated with these receivables. Federal law limits the degree to which states
are permitted to alter Medicaid programs.


6. SALES LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

    The Company  constructed two facilities which were purchased in 1993, at the
completion  of the  construction  phase,  by the real  estate  investment  trust
providing the financing.  The Company entered into operating lease  arrangements
for these  facilities  which  provided for minimum lease terms through July 1999
and January 2004, respectively, with extension rights available through 2019.

    In April 1993, one of the facilities was sold and leased back. A gain on the
sale totaling  $1,815,000 was deferred and was being amortized over 7 years, the
term of the lease. The Company initiated a significant  change in business focus
at this  facility  during 1995.  The facility was purchased on November 1, 1995.
Effective  January 1, 1996 a portion of the  building  was leased to a long-term
care company unrelated to the Company.  The remaining portion of the building is
leased  as  office  space.  Upon  effecting  these  transactions,   the  Company
recognized  the remaining  deferred  gain of $1,135,000  which was offset by the
write-off  of  certain  capitalized  costs  of  $2,887,000  for  a net  loss  of
$1,752,000 which is included in facility operating expenses.


    In November  1993,  the second  facility was sold and leased back. A gain on
the sale totaling  $1,783,000  has been deferred and is being  amortized over 10
years,  the term of the lease.  The  unamortized  amount of this  deferred  gain
totalled $1,411,000 at December 31, 1995.  Additional deferred gains of $711,000
relate to prior Pinnacle transactions.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS -- (CONTINUED)


    During 1993, the Company completed a $20 million bridge credit facility with
a bank. The proceeds of the $20 million  facility along with the proceeds of the
Company's  initial  public  offering were used to repay  certain debt  described
below.  Also in  1993,  the  Company  completed  a $60  million  senior  secured
revolving  credit  facility  with a syndicate of banks,  the proceeds from which
were used to repay the $20 million  bridge  facility.  During 1994,  the Company
negotiated  an increase in the  borrowing  capacity to a $120  million  reducing
revolving  credit  facility.  During 1995,  the Company  renegotiated  a further
increase to the borrowing  capacity to $175 million and eliminated the reduction
feature of the  facility.  In  conjunction  with this  refinancing,  the Company
incurred an extraordinary charge of $1,138,000,  net of tax benefit of $698,000.
The  facility  matures  on July 18,  1998 and  provides  for prime or LIBOR rate
interest options based upon certain financial covenants.  Mariner's  obligations
under  this  credit  are  collateralized  by  a  pledge  of  the  stock  of  its
subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Facility is collateralized by mortgages on
certain of the Company's  inpatient  facilities,  leasehold mortgages on certain
inpatient  facilities leased by the Company,  and security  interests in certain
other properties and assets of the Company and its  subsidiaries.  The agreement
includes  a  commitment  fee  of 3/8 of 1% of the  unused  line.  The  borrowing
availability  and rate of interest will vary depending upon specified  financial
ratios and the passage of time. The revolving credit facility contains covenants
which,  among other things,  require the Company to maintain  certain  financial
ratios and impose  certain  limitations  or  prohibitions  on the  Company  with
respect to the incurrence of indebtedness, liens and capital leases; the payment
of  dividends  on, and the  redemption  or  repurchase  of, its  capital  stock;
investments and  acquisitions,  including  acquisitions  of new facilities;  the
merger or  consolidation  of the  Company  with any  person  or  entity  and the
disposition of any of the Company's  properties or assets. There were no amounts
outstanding on the line at December 31, 1994 and  $64,500,000 was outstanding at
December 31,  1995.  Additionally,  as of December  31, 1995,  the Company had a
letter of credit outstanding under the facility of $2,612,000.

    During  1995,  the  Company  violated  its capital  expenditures  and leases
covenant. The Company obtained a waiver of this violation.


    MedRehab  had a  $30,000,000  credit  agreement  with a bank  with a balance
outstanding  as of December 31, 1995, of  $12,670,000.  However,  any additional
borrowings  under this  credit  agreement  required  bank  approval.  Under this
agreement,  the Company was required to maintain certain  financial and earnings
ratios  including  certain  covenants  (minimum level of  stockholders'  equity,
current ratio,  debt service coverage ratio, and minimum cash balance) that must
be met on a quarterly  basis.  The credit  agreement also  contained  subjective
covenant  provisions.  MedRehab was in violation of these  covenants at December
31, 1995.  However,  in connection  with the merger,  this line was paid off and
terminated.

    Term loans at December  31,  1994 and 1995  consist  primarily  of the notes
payable in  connection  with the January 1993  purchase of the contract  therapy
business,  the 1994 purchase of a pharmacy and home health care  business,  term
note in connection  with the Heritage  Acquisition  (See Note 3), and the credit
facility in  connection  with the MedRehab  Merger.  Payments of  principal  and
interest are due quarterly until February 1998 and August,  1997,  respectively.
Interest accrues at 7% and 6% per year, respectively.

    At December 31, 1995,  mortgage  loans  included  $8,494,000 on one facility
related  to the  purchase  of a  previously  leased  facility,  $7,159,000  in a
mortgage guaranteed by HUD for one facility purchased in October, 1995, $866,000
for a facility  purchased  by the Company in 1991 and $96,000 for a  condominium
acquired in the  MedRehab  Merger.  These notes bear  interest at 11 1/2 %, 10%,
10%, and 9 3/4 %, respectively.

    Mortgage  loans  totaling   $46,957,000   related  to  the  acquisition  and
construction  of  certain  facilities  were  repaid  during  1993.  Due to early
retirement  of this  debt,  the  Company  incurred  an  extraordinary  charge of
$5,546,000  attributable  to  prepayment  fees  and the  write-off  of  deferred
financing fees.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS -- (CONTINUED)

    A first  mortgage  loan  totaling  $2,182,000  at  December  31,  1993,  was
originally  established  for  the  purchase  of  the  land  underlying  and  the
construction of a corporate building.  The loan bore interest at a fixed rate of
7.4%  and  amortized  monthly  calculated  on a  25-year  period.  The  loan was
collateralized by the land and improvements of the related  corporate  building.
The Company  repaid the loan in full during  1994,  incurring  an  extraordinary
charge of $86,000,  net of tax benefit of $57,000,  related to the  write-off of
deferred financing fees.


    In November  1993, the Company  refinanced  the First  Mortgage  Refinancing
Revenue  Bonds,   replacing  them  with  a  Tax-Exempt  Low  Floater  instrument
collateralized  by a first mortgage on a nursing facility and a five-year letter
of credit issued by a bank and  guaranteed by the Company.  The interest rate is
set weekly by the bank. At December 31, 1995, the rate was 3.75%. As a result of
the  refinancing,  the  Company  incurred  an  extraordinary  loss  due to early
extinguishments  of debt in the  amount of  approximately  $336,000,  net of tax
benefit.


    Included  in  other  long-term  debt at  December  31,  1994 and  1995,  are
non-interest  bearing  notes of  approximately  $350,000  due in 1997 to  former
owners of acquired  subsidiaries  who had become  employees  of  MedRehab.  Also
included in other  long-term  debt are various  promissory  notes with  interest
rates  ranging from  non-interest  bearing to 12%.  These  promissory  notes are
payable in installments with final payment dates ranging from 1996 through 2011.

    In  addition,  the  Company  leases  certain  equipment,  a building  and an
airplane under capital leases. Assets under capital leases are capitalized using
interest rates appropriate at the inception of each lease.


    Aggregate maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations for the
years ending after December 31, 1995 are as follows:

$3,599,000, respectively.


10. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

    During 1987,  the Company issued  $7,200,000 of 9% Convertible  Subordinated
Debentures, due June 2002, with interest payable quarterly. Payment of principal
and  interest  are   subordinate   to  all  principal  and  interest  on  senior
indebtedness.  Mandatory  sinking-fund payments commenced in July 1993 at 10% of
the  original  issuance  per year.  In July 1993,  holders  of $45,000  worth of
debentures  elected to convert into 3,863 shares of the  Company's  Common Stock
with the remaining $675,000 principal being paid. On May 10, 1994, in connection
with the merger  with  Pinnacle  Care  Corporation,  the  remaining  convertible
subordinated  debentures  were  converted  into 587,000 shares of Mariner Common
Stock.


    Effective December 9, 1993, $1,822,000 in subordinated debt plus $339,000 in
accrued  interest was  converted  into  approximately  335,000  shares of common
stock. In addition, approximately 411,000 additional shares of common stock were
purchased for $4,500,000 (net of approximately $150,000 of stock issuance costs)
by MedRehab's two principal stockholders.

11. INCOME TAXES -- (CONTINUED)

    During 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Company paid federal, state and local income
taxes in the amounts of  approximately  $3,318,000,  $5,528,000 and  $7,333,000,
respectively.   As  of  December  31,  1995,  other  accrued  expenses  includes
$5,916,000,  which has been  accrued for  payments  of Federal,  state and local
income taxes.

    In connection  with the merger with  MedRehab,  Inc.,  the Company  acquired
significant  deferred income tax assets associated with MRI's net operating loss
("NOL")  carryforwards.  Because  of the  limitations  imposed  by the  Internal
Revenue  Code,  these NOLs can only be used to offset  income  generated  by the
former MRI.  Since MRI is currently in a tax loss position and has had losses in
recent years, a valuation  reserve in the full amount of the net deferred income
tax asset for the NOLs has been  established in accordance with the Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The NOLs
will expire at various rates through 2010.


12. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

    Prior to the  consummation of its initial public  offering,  the Company had
three classes of Convertible  Mandatorily  Redeemable  Preferred Stock:  Class A
(1,095,000 shares authorized), Class B (2,490,000 shares authorized) and Class C
(3,000,000  shares  authorized),  collectively  referred to as the  "Convertible
Preferred Stock." The Class D Nonconvertible  Mandatorily  Redeemable  Preferred
Stock (5,948 shares authorized), issued in connection with the conversion of the
subordinated  notes  (Note 10), is referred to as the "Class D Stock." The Class
A, B and C shares were  converted  into Common Stock and accrued  dividends were
reversed in conjunction  with the Company's  initial public offering on June 15,
1993 and the Class D Stock was redeemed prior to June 30, 1993.

13. PREFERRED STOCK

    In  conjunction  with the Company's  initial  public  offering in 1993,  the
Company authorized  1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $.01
per share. No shares of this Preferred Stock have been issued.


    Effective  December 9, 1993,  5,800,000  shares of  MedRehab 8%  convertible
preferred stock and accrued dividends thereon were converted into  approximately
799,000 shares of common stock.


    On  May  10,  1994  in  connection   with  the  merger  with  Pinnacle  Care
Corporation, the then outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into
2,136,332 shares of Mariner Common Stock.

14. STOCK OPTION PLAN

    The Company has adopted  several stock option  plans.  The plans provide for
the granting of incentive stock options,  as defined under the Internal  Revenue
Code, and nonqualified options to employees, directors, consultants and advisors
of the Company.

14. STOCK OPTION PLAN -- (CONTINUED)

    There were 3,050,790 incentive stock options (ISO's) outstanding at December
31, 1995 of which  approximately  700,000 were  exercisable.  The unvested ISO's
will become  exercisable in accordance with a five-year  vesting  schedule.  The
remaining  369,158  options  were  non-qualified  options of which  122,159 were
exercisable at December 31, 1995. The vesting schedule for options is based upon
either the passage of time or  performance  criteria  outlined in the individual
option  agreements.  The maximum vesting period is ten years.  The  nonqualified
options are  exercisable in accordance  with a five-year  vesting  schedule.  At
December 31, 1995,  the exercise  prices of the vested options ranged from $2.00
to $61.93.  During 1993,  the Company  granted  options at less than fair market
value and has accordingly  recognized unearned  compensation expense of $276,000
of which $55,000,  $34,000 and $19,000 was recognized as compensation expense in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. During 1994, the Company recorded a charge of
$1,375,000  relating to the  accelerated  vesting of certain stock options.  The
charge  for the  options  relates to a change in vesting  criteria  for  100,000
options  granted in 1992. As a result of these  changes,  these  options  became
exercisable  during the second quarter of 1994,  thereby requiring the charge in
the second quarter.


    During the third quarter of 1995, the exercise price of certain  options was
reduced to reflect the decreased market value of the Company's stock. All of the
options repriced had been issued originally at prices significantly in excess of
$12.63,  the market value on the day of the  adjustment.  No charge was required
for this transaction.

15. WARRANTS

    During 1992,  the Company issued  warrants to purchase  85,000 shares of its
Class C Convertible  Preferred  Stock at $6.00 per share in connection  with the
refinancing  of certain  term loans.  The  warrants  were  exercised in 1994 for
35,102 shares of Common Stock.

    During 1993,  167,473  warrants to purchase  Class B  Convertible  Preferred
Stock were exercised in conjunction with the Company's initial public offering.

    At December 31, 1993 there were 24,400 warrants outstanding with an exercise
price of $3.28  which were  subsequently  exercised  in January  1994 for 14,184
equivalent shares.

    There were no warrants outstanding at December 31, 1995.

16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    The  Company   has  a  defined   contribution   401(k)  plan  which   covers
substantially all eligible nonunion employees.  Employees who participate in the
plan may  contribute  up to $9,500 of their  salaries  or wages and the  Company
contributes  5% of the  employees'  contributions.  During  1993 and  1994,  the
Company  elected to contribute an  additional 5% and 10%,  respectively,  of the
employees'  contributions  within the plan related to the former  Pinnacle  Care
Corporation.  Defined contribution pension expense for the Company for the years
ended  December 31,  1993,  1994,  and 1995 was  $61,000,  $108,000 and $76,000,
respectively.


    The MedRehab, Inc. Tax-Deferred Retirement Savings Plan covers substantially
all employees of MedRehab who meet the term-of-service  requirements.  Employees
are eligible to make  contributions  to the plan under the guidelines of Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Company  contributions to the plan ($24,000
in both 1995 and  1994) are at the  discretion  of the board of  directors.  All
assets of the plan are held by a trustee and total approximately $4.9 million as
of December 31, 1995.


    The Company also has a defined  benefit  pension  plan which covers  certain
full-time  employees.  Assets  held by the  plan  include  money  market  funds,
government bonds, convertible bonds, common and preferred stock, and real estate
related investments. The Company incurred a pension curtailment

funding  policy  for the  defined  benefit  plan is to fund the  minimum  annual
contribution required by applicable regulations.  The following table sets forth

    Total rental  expense  under  operating  leases for 1993,  1994 and 1995 was
$5,304,000, $5,841,000 and $5,516,000, respectively.

    In conjuction  with the  acquisition  by MedRehab of one subsidiary in 1993,
approximately  10,000  shares of common  stock were  issued.  Additional  shares
("earn-out" shares) are issuable if certain future operating targets relating to
the acquired  operations are met.  Approximately 4,000 earn-out shares have been
issued under this  agreement.  Shares issued in conjuction  with the acquisition
agreement may be redeemed beginning in July, 1996.


Self Insurance

    The Company is self-insured for health  insurance.  The Company's  liability
for losses is capped at 125% of expected  claims as of December 31, 1995 through
a contract  with an  insurance  company.  The Company is also  self-insured  for
Workers' Compensation.  The Company's liability for losses is capped at $500,000
per claim and  $13,000,000  in  aggregate  through a contract  with an insurance
company. The Company has an outstanding letter of credit of $1,750,000, which is
held as collateral by this insurance company.

Litigation

    The  Company is a party to various  claims,  legal  actions  and  complaints
arising in the ordinary  course of business.  In the opinion of management,  all
such matters are adequately covered by insurance or  indemnification  or, if not
so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that
unfavorable  disposition  would  not have a  material  effect  on the  financial
position of the Company.

18. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial  instruments,  for those  instruments  for which it is  practicable to
estimate that value, and the estimated fair values of the financial  instruments
are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents


    The carrying amount  approximates  fair value because of the short effective
maturity of these instruments.

Long-term Debt

    The fair value of the  Company's  long-term  debt is estimated  based on the
current rates offered to the Company for similar debt. The carrying value of the
Company's long-term debt approximates its fair value as of December 31, 1994 and
1995.


19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)


    In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a company
which  operates  eight  facilities  with an aggregate of 960 beds.  The purchase
price is estimated to be approximately $52,000,000.


    In January  1996,  Mariner  entered into an  agreement  to be the  preferred
provider of  subacute  services to  AmHS/Premier/SunHealth  ("APS"),  a hospital
health care alliance with approximately 1,700 member hospitals. Pursuant to this
arrangement an APS affiliate was granted  warrants to purchase 210,000 shares of
Mariner  Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $11.375  per share,  as well as
warrants to  purchase up to an  additional  1,890,000  shares of Mariner  Common
Stock over a five year period  depending on the performance of the  arrangements
between Mariner and APS affiliated facilities.  The Company recorded a charge of
approximately  $850,000 in the first  quarter of 1996 as a result of the 210,000
warrants granted.


20. PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)


    The following unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for the
years ended  December 31, 1994 and 1995 give effect to the certain  acquisitions
as if they had  occurred at the  beginning  of these  years.  The 1994 pro forma
amounts  give  effect  to two  acquisitions  consummated  in  1994  (Legend  and
Florida),  a 1995  acquisition  (Heritage) and an acquisition in 1996 (CSI). The
1995 pro forma amounts give effect only to the 1995 and 1996 transactions as the
1994  acquisitions are included in the results of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The condensed  information  presented  includes the impact of
certain adjustments related to the acquisitions such as additional  depreciation
and  amortization  on the purchase of property,  plant and  equipment,  interest
expense based on additional debt and rental expense reductions.


    The pro forma  condensed  statements  of  operations  do not  purport  to be
indicative  of the  results  that  actually  would  have  been  achieved  if the
Acquisitions  and the  merger  with CSI had  occurred  at the  beginning  of the
period.

               REGENCY HEALTH CARE CENTERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:

The consolidated  financial  statements as of March 31, 1996 and for the periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited.  All  adjustments and accruals have
been  made  which,  in the  opinion  of  management,  are  necessary  for a fair
presentation; such adjustments consist of normal, recurring adjustments. Results
of operations for the period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of those expected for any future period.

The accompanying  unaudited interim consolidated  financial statements have been
prepared with the  assumption  that users of the interim  financial  information
have other read or have access to the Company's audited  consolidated  financial
statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1995.  Accordingly,   footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the
Company's December 31, 1995 audited consolidated  financial statements have been
omitted from these unaudited ;interim consolidated financial statements. Contain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed or omitted.  Although the Company  believes that the  disclosures  are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading,  it is suggested that
these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2:

At  March  31,  1996,  Regency  had five  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.  All five
subsidiaries were acquired or formed  subsequent to March 31, 1995.  Regency had
no subsidiaries at March 31, 1995.

At March 31, 1996,  Regency  operated  three skilled  nursing  facilities  under
long-term   operating  leases  and  owned  and  operated  four  skilled  nursing
facilities and one assisted living facility.

At March 31, 1995 the Company  operated  two skilled  nursing  facilities  under
long-term  operating  leases and managed six skilled nursing  facilities and two
assisted living facilities.

NOTE 3:

In February 1996,  the Company agreed to sell all of its issued and  outstanding
common  stock  to  Mariner  Health  Group,  Inc.  for  total   consideration  of
approximately  $52,000,00O,  consisting of approximately $28,000,000 in cash and
the assumption or repayment of an aggregate  principal  amount of  approximately
$24,000,000 in outstanding indebtedness The transaction closed in May 1996.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The  following  unaudited pro forma  combined  financial  information  gives
effect to (i) Mariner's  merger (the "CSI Merger") with  Convalescent  Services,
Inc.  ("CSI") in January 1996,  (ii) the  acquisition  by Mariner of six skilled
nursing facilities with an aggregate of 686 beds in central and northern Florida
(the "Heritage  Acquisition"),  (iii) Mariner's  merger (the "MedRehab  Merger")
with MedRehab,  Inc. in March 1996 and (iv) the  acquisition by Mariner of seven
skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility with an aggregate of
960 beds in Florida, Tennessee and Kansas (the "1996 Florida Acquisition").  The
CSI Merger,  Heritage Acquisition,  MedRehab Merger and 1996 Florida Acquisition
are referred to herein as the "Recent Acquisitions."

    The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of
Mariner,  the  entities  that  owned  four  of  the  facilities  (the  "Heritage
Facilities")  acquired  in the  Heritage  Acquisition,  CSI and  certain  of its
affiliates  (the  "CSI   Entities")  and  Regency  Health  Care  Centers,   Inc.
("Regency"),  which is the entity acquired in the 1996 Florida Acquisition. Each
of these  acquisitions  by Mariner  is being  accounted  for under the  purchase
method of  accounting.  All of the entities  included in the unaudited pro forma
combined financial information have December 31 fiscal year ends.

    The  unaudited pro forma  combined  balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 gives
effect to the 1996 Florida  Acquisition  as if it had been  consummated on March
31, 1996. This balance sheet combines the historical  balance sheets as of March
31, 1996 of the Company and Regency. The Company's balance sheet as of March 31,
1996 reflects the Heritage  Acquisition and the CSI Merger, which were completed
prior to such date.

    The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended
December  31, 1995 and the three  months ended March 31, 1996 give effect to the
Recent  Acquisitions  as if they had been  consummated on January 1, 1995.  This
statement of operations combines the statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1995 of the Company, the CSI Entities and Regency and the statement
of operations of the three  entities that owned the Heritage  Facilities for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Company's  statement of operations for
the year ended  December  31, 1995  reflects  the results of  operations  of the
Heritage Facilities from the date of their acquisition, October 2, 1995.

    The unaudited pro forma combined financial  information does not include the
results of operations of the 60-bed skilled nursing facility in St.  Petersburg,
Florida,  which was  acquired  by Mariner in March  1995,  the  150-bed  skilled
nursing facility in Nashville,  Tennessee,  which was acquired by Mariner in May
1995, the institutional  pharmacy  operation based in Dallas,  Texas,  which was
acquired by Mariner in October 1995, or the  acquisitions of two skilled nursing
facilities  in  connection  with the  Heritage  Acquisition,  both of which were
acquired  during the fourth  quarter of 1995,  in each case for periods prior to
their  respective  acquisitions.  The  unaudited  pro forma  combined  financial
information also does not include any information relating to the acquisition of
a primary care physician  organization in Florida,  which was completed in March
1996.  Inclusion of this information would not result in material changes to the
information presented.

    The pro forma  statements  may not be  indicative  of the results that would
actually have been obtained had the acquisitions  reflected  therein occurred on
the dates  indicated or which may be obtained in the future.  This unaudited pro
forma combined  financial  information  should be read in  conjunction  with the
historical  financial  statements  and  related  notes  of the  Company  and the
historical financial  statements and related notes of the CSI Entities,  Regency
and the  entities  that  previously  owned the  Heritage  Facilities,  which are
included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.
