ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
In early December, 2000, the Company was served with a U.S. Department of
Justice subpoena issued by the U.S. Attorney's office for the Northern District
of California requesting the production of documents relating to certain
matters, such as patient admissions, patient care, patient charting and
marketing materials, pertaining to hospital gero-psychiatric programs managed by
the Company. The Company believes that the subpoena originated as a result of a
sealed qui tam suit. No specific allegations or claims have been made against
the Company. The Company is not currently aware of any reason to believe it will
become a target of the investigation. At this time, the Company has insufficient
information to predict any particular future outcome of the investigation.
