NARRATIVE AND QUALITATIVE EXPLANATION OF THE ANTICIPATED CHANGE:
The Company expects to report a net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998
of $7,809,343 ($.65 per share) as compared to a net loss of $3,099,502 ($.29
per share) for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increased net loss is
primarily attributed to a drop in the percentage of beds occupied at its
nursing centers compared to the prior year; provisions for bad debts which
totaled $4,749,309 for 1998; and increased general and administrative
expenses, as a result of the overall growth of the Company's operations and
the additional salaries of Executive Officers and senior staff members who
joined the Company in July 1998.
