Item 5. Other Events
On March 31, 1999, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun") filed its Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 1998 with certain sections thereof omitted. Sun
obtained an extension from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") to file an amended Form 10-K, including such previously omitted
sections, on or before April 15, 1999. As a result of management's determination
(in light of recent discussions with the Commission and Sun's auditors) that
Sun's June 30, 1998 acquisition of Retirement Care Associates, Inc. will need to
be recorded as a purchase rather than a pooling of interests as originally
recorded, Sun did not file the amended Form 10-K by April 15, 1999. Sun expects
to file the amended Form 10-K, including the previously omitted sections, on or
about April 23, 1999.
Statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not
historical statements, including but not limited to statements containing the
words "anticipates," "expects," "may," "plan," and "believe" constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal law. Sun cautions
investors that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance, and they are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks that could
cause Sun's actual results or performance to materially differ from management's
current expectations.
