Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements of
Healthcare  Realty Trust  Incorporated  (the  "Company")  have been  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements  which are included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair
presentation  have been included.  These financial  statements should be read in
conjunction  with the  financial  statements  included in the  Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

for the year ending December 31, 1998.

through  June 30, 1997 and for the period  January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997
to conform to the 1998 presentation. These reclassifications had no
effect on the results of operations as previously reported.

Note 3.  Funds From Operations

     Funds from operations  ("FFO"),  as defined by the National  Association of
Real Estate  Investment  Trusts,  Inc.  ("NAREIT")  1995 White Paper,  means net
income (computed in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property,  plus
depreciation from real estate assets.

     The Company  considers FFO to be an informative  measure of the performance
of an equity  REIT and  consistent  with  measures  used by analysts to evaluate
equity REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as
an  alternative  to  net  income  as an  indicator  of the  Company's  operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, was $12.3  million,  or $0.61 per
basic share  ($0.60 per  diluted  share) and $10.9  million,  or $0.58 per basic
share ($0.57 per diluted share), respectively. FFO for the six months ended June
30,  1998 and 1997,  was $23.9  million,  or $1.21 per basic  share  ($1.18  per
diluted  share) and $19.9  million,  or $1.14 per basic share ($1.11 per diluted
share), respectively.

Note 4.  Notes Payable

     Notes  payable at June 30, 1998  consisted  of $90.0  million of  unsecured
notes.

Unsecured Notes

     On  September  18, 1995,  the Company  privately  placed  $90.0  million of
unsecured notes (the "Unsecured  Notes") with sixteen credit  institutions.  The
Unsecured  Notes bear interest at 7.41%,  payable  semi-annually,  and mature on
September  1, 2002.  Beginning  on  September  1, 1998 and on each  September  1
through  2002,  the Company  must repay  $18.0  million of  principal.  The note
agreements  pursuant to which the Unsecured Notes were purchased contain certain
representations,  warranties and financial and other covenants customary in such
loan agreements.


Unsecured Credit Facility

     On December 26, 1996, the Company's $75.0 million unsecured credit facility
(the "Unsecured  Credit  Facility") with four commercial  banks was increased to
$100.0  million and extended to December 30, 1999. At the option of the Company,
borrowings bear interest at one of the banks' base rate or LIBOR plus 1.125%. In
addition,  the  Company  pays a  commitment  fee of .225 of 1% per  annum on the
unused  portion of funds  available for  borrowings  under the Unsecured  Credit
Facility.  The  Unsecured  Credit  Facility  contains  certain  representations,
warranties and financial and other covenants  customary in such loan agreements.
At June 30, 1998, the Company had the maximum available borrowing capacity under
the Unsecured Credit Facility.


Serial and Term Bonds Payable

     In conjunction with the acquisition of certain facilities in 1994 and 1996,
the Company assumed serial and term bonds payable,  totaling $7.2 million. These
bonds payable were repaid or defeased  during 1996 and 1997.  The Company placed
funds in an irrevocable  trust to defease $2.9 million of serial and term bonds,
which paid interest  semi-annually  at interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 8.1%.
The resulting loss from the defeasance was not material.


Note 5.  Deferred Compensation

     Effective January 27, 1998, 141,668  restricted shares,  bringing the total
to 514,378,  of the Company's common stock previously  reserved were released to
certain   officers  of  the  Company  upon  the  achievement  of  the  Company's
performance   based  criteria  in  accordance   with  the  terms  of  the  First
Implementation  of the Company's  1993 Employees  Stock  Incentive  Plan.  These
restricted shares require continued employment,  generally for 12 years from the
date of release, prior to vesting.

Note 6.  Commitments

     As of June 30,  1998,  the Company had a net  investment  of  approximately
$20.5 million in two build-to-suit developments in progress and one expansion of
an  existing  facility,  which  have a total  remaining  funding  commitment  of
approximately $10.4 million.

     As of June 30, 1998,  the Company,  in the normal  course of business,  had
entered  into  definitive  contracts  to  acquire 16 acres of land and a medical
office building, both in Pennsylvania, totaling approximately $5.7 million.


Note 7.  Merger

     On June 8, 1998,  the Company  announced a definitive  agreement to acquire
Capstone  Capital  Corporation  ("Capstone").  Pursuant to this  agreement,  the
Company  will  acquire  Capstone  in  a  stock-for-stock  merger  in  which  the
stockholders  of  Capstone  will  receive  a fixed  ratio of .8518  share of the
Company's common stock and the holders of Capstone  preferred stock will receive
one share of the Company's  voting preferred stock in exchange for each share of
Capstone  preferred  stock.  The completion of the merger depends on a number of
conditions being met including  stockholder approval by Capstone and the Company
and the receipt of all  consents,  orders and  approvals  legally  required  for
consummation of the merger. Upon closing,  the Company will own, or be committed
to acquire, 273 properties in 68 markets, leased to 64 healthcare providers.


Note 8.  Stockholders' Equity

     In February,  1998, the Company  participated in two unit investment  trust
offerings  and sold a aggregate of  1,224,026  shares of its common  stock.  The
Company  received  an  aggregate  of $33.3  million in net  proceeds  from these
transactions.  The proceeds were used to fully repay the outstanding  borrowings
under the Unsecured Credit Facility, acquisitions,  developments and for general
corporate purposes.

of common  stock to a single  institutional  investor.  The Company  received an
aggregate of $1.4 million in net proceeds from these transactions.  The proceeds
were used to repay  outstanding  borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility,
development and for general corporate purposes.
    11

     On July  1,  1998,  warrants  for  128,149  shares  of  common  stock  were

Note 10.  Changes in Accounting Principles

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
Statement  130 is  effective  for interim  and annual  periods  beginning  after
December 15, 1997. Comprehensive income encompasses all changes in shareholders'

    12

equity  (except those arising  from  transactions  with owners) and includes net
income,  net unrealized capital gains or losses on available for sale securities
and foreign currency translation  adjustments.  Comprehensive income is the same
as net income for the Company.

     In June  1997,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related  Information," which establishes standards
for  the  way  public  business  enterprises  are to  report  information  about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises
to report selected  information  about operating  segments in interim  financial
reports  issued to  shareholders.  It also  establishes  standards  for  related
disclosures about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.
Statement No. 131 is effective for annual periods  beginning  after December 15,
1997.  Management of the Company is currently  evaluating the  applicability  of
Statement No. 131, which may result in expanded segment disclosures.

     The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") has been considering the accounting
for internal  acquisition  costs for real estate  properties.  In the past,  the
Company  has  capitalized   certain  internal  costs  incurred  in  identifying,
acquiring  and  developing  real  estate  properties  and  has  depreciated  the
capitalized costs over the life of the related  property.  At its March 19, 1998
meeting,  the EITF  reached a  consensus  on Issue No.  97-11,  "Accounting  for
Internal  Costs  Relating to Real Estate  Property  Acquisition,"  that internal
preacquisition costs relating to the purchase of an operating property should be
expensed as  incurred.  At a previous  meeting,  the Task Force  concluded  that
internal  preacquisition costs related to the purchase of nonoperating  property
could  be   capitalized   in   specified   circumstances.   Expensing   internal
preacquisition  costs  related to the  purchase  of  operating  properties  will
accelerate  the  recognition  of  these  costs,  negatively  impacting  reported
earnings and funds from operations of the Company.  The adoption of this EITF is
not expected to be material to the Company's  financial  position or its results
of operations.

                Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Operating Results

Second Quarter 1998 Compared to Second Quarter 1997

     Net income for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998  increased to $9.4 million,
or $0.46 per basic share ($0.45 per diluted  share) from $8.2 million,  or $0.43
per basic share  ($0.42 per diluted  share) for the same period in 1997, a 14.8%
increase in net income or 7.0% per basic share (7.1% per diluted  share).  Total
revenues  for the  quarter  ended June 30, 1998 were $17.7  million  compared to
$14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,  which is an increase of $3.5
million or 24.3%.  The increase is primarily  due to master lease rental  income
and property  operating  income  derived  from  approximately  $57.1  million of
property acquisitions and properties  reclassified from construction in progress
subsequent to June 30, 1997. While the number of managed properties rose from 87
properties at June 30, 1997 to 187 properties at June 30, 1998,  management fees
do not increase  proportionately  due to the  elimination  in  consolidation  of
Company owned managed  properties.  Management  fees increased  $155,000 for the
quarter ending June 30, 1998,  compared to the same period in 1997 substantially
due to the  addition of third party  management  contracts in Florida and Texas.
Interest  and other  income for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1998 was  $606,000
compared  to $1.1  million  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997.  The Company
maintained  an average cash  balance of  approximately  $8.1 million  during the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. In  comparison,  the Company  completed a secondary
offering  during the first  quarter of 1997 and  maintained  an average cash and
short-term  investment balance of approximately $42.0 million during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 which  resulted in  significantly  higher  interest  income.
Additionally,  in 1998, the Company earned  interest of $188,000 from a mortgage
note  related  to  a  development  project  and  earned  $115,000  from  a  note
receivable.

     Total  expenses  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998 were $8.3  million
compared  to $6.1  million  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  which is an
increase of $2.3 million or 37.0%.  Depreciation  expense increased $284,000 due
to the  acquisition  of additional  properties  and the completion of properties
under  construction,   discussed  in  the  preceding   paragraph.   General  and
administrative expenses increased $413,000 or 54.3% primarily due to an increase
in  non-reimbursed   employees   associated  with  the  increase  in  management
contracts.  Property  operating  expenses increased $1.7 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997 due to the conversion from master leased or
acquisition of 18 Company  owned/controlled and managed properties subsequent to
June 30, 1997.  Interest expense decreased  $111,000 for the quarters ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 due to the repayment of a $730,000 security deposit during the
third quarter of 1997. Additionally,  there was approximately $12.2 million more
in construction in progress  throughout the quarter during 1998 compared to 1997
which resulted in more  capitalized  interest in 1998.  There was no significant
variation in amortization expense.
    14

Six Months ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 1997

     Net income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998  increased  to $18.0
million or $0.91 per basic share ($0.89 per diluted share) from $14.5 million or
$0.83 per basic share  ($0.81 per diluted  share) for the same period in 1997, a
24.0%  increase in net income or 9.6% per basic share (9.9% per diluted  share).
Total  revenues  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998 were  $35.1  million
compared to $27.1  million for the six months ended June 30,  1997,  which is an
increase of $8.0  million,  or 29.4%.  The increase is  primarily  due to master
lease rental  income and property  acquisitions  and property  operating  income
derived from approximately $57.1 million of property acquisitions and properties
reclassified from construction in progress  subsequent to June 30, 1997. For the
six months  ended June 30, 1998  compared to the six months  ended June 30, 1997
there was a $311,000 increase in property  management fees  substantially due to
the addition of third party  management  contracts in Florida and Texas. At June
30, 1998, the Company  managed 187 properties  compared to 87 properties at June
30,  1997.  While the  number of  managed  properties  increased  significantly,
management  fees  do not  increase  proportionately  due to the  elimination  in
consolidation of Company owned managed properties. Interest and other income for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $906,000 compared to $1.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997.  During the first  quarter of 1997,  the Company
completed a secondary  offering and  maintained  an average cash and  short-term
investment  balance of $33.2 million  during the six months ending June 30, 1997
compared  to  $8.5  million   during  the  six  months  ending  June  30,  1998.
Additionally,  in 1998, the Company earned  interest of $305,000 from a mortgage
note  related  to  a  development  project  and  earned  $115,000  from  a  note
receivable.

     Total  expenses for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 were $17.1  million
compared to $12.6  million for the six months ended June 30,  1997,  which is an
increase of $4.5 million, or 35.5%.  Depreciation expense increased $724,000 due
to the  acquisition  of additional  properties  and the completion of properties
under  construction,   discussed  in  the  preceding   paragraph.   General  and
administrative  expenses increased $1.0 million,  or 69.5%,  primarily due to an
increase in non-reimbursed  employees associated with the increase in management
contracts. Property operating expenses increased $3.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997 due to the conversion from master leased or
acquisition of 18 Company  owned/controlled and managed properties subsequent to
June 30, 1997.  Interest expense decreased from $4.2 million to $3.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. During the six months
ended June 30,  1998,  the Company had an average  outstanding  debt  balance of
approximately  $3.8 million under the Unsecured  Credit Facility  compared to an
average  outstanding debt balance of $21.6 million for the six months ended June
30,  1997.  In  addition,  bonds  payable  totaling  $6.7 million were repaid or
defeased  during the first quarter of 1997 and a $730,000  security  deposit was
repaid during the third quarter of 1997.  There was no significant  variation in
amortization expense.
    15

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of June 30, 1998,  the Company had invested,  or committed to invest in,
91 properties (the  "Properties") for an aggregate  investment of $517.4 million
located in 44 markets in 14 states, which are supported by 18 healthcare-related
entities.  The Company has financed its acquisitions to date through the sale or
exchange of common stock,  long-term  indebtedness,  borrowings under its credit
facilities, and the assumption of bonds.

     In February,  1998, the Company  participated in two unit investment  trust
offerings  and sold a aggregate of  1,224,026  shares of its common  stock.  The
Company  received  an  aggregate  of $33.3  million in net  proceeds  from these
transactions.  The proceeds were used to fully repay the outstanding  borrowings
under the Unsecured Credit Facility, acquisitions,  developments and for general
corporate purposes.

     During April and May,  1998, the Company sold an aggregate of 49,953 shares
of its common stock to a single institutional  investor. The Company received an
aggregate of $1.4 million in net proceeds from these transactions.  The proceeds
were used to repay  outstanding  borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility,
fund developments and for general corporate purposes.

     The  Unsecured  Notes bear  interest at 7.41%,  payable  semiannually,  and
mature  on  September  1,  2002.  Beginning  on  September  1,  1998 and on each
September 1 through  2002,  the Company  must repay $18.0  million of  principal
under the Unsecured  Notes.  The Company intends to repay the first  installment
due  September 1 from cash  provided  by Company  operations  and from  proceeds
borrowed under its Unsecured Credit Facility.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had the maximum borrowing  capacity available
under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had  stockholders'  equity of $409.6 million.
The debt to total  capitalization  ratio was approximately  0.18 to 1.00 at June
30, 1998.

     During May,  1998,  the Company  loaned $6.8 million to a  healthcare  real
estate entity  secured by a pledge of all of the equity  interests of The Atrium
of San Jose,  LLC,  the owner of an  independent  living  facility  in San Jose,
California.  The cash to fund the note was  provided by Company  operations  and
proceeds from the issuance of stock.

     During  the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998,  the  Company  funded a net of
approximately  $5.5 million for construction in progress and capital  additions.
The sources of these funds were cash provided by Company  operations or proceeds
borrowed under its Unsecured Credit Facility.

     On May 18,  1998,  the  Company  paid a dividend of $0.515 per share to the
holders of its common  stock as of the close of  business  on May 6, 1998.  This
dividend  related to the period from January 31, 1998 through March 31, 1998. In
July 1998, the Company announced payment of a dividend of $0.52 per share to the
holders of common  shares on August 6,  1998.  The  dividend  will be payable on
August 17, 1998.  The dividend  relates to the period April 1, 1998 through June
30, 1998.
    16
     
     As of June 30, 1998,  the Company had a net  investment of $20.5 million in
two  build-to-suit  developments  in progress  and one  expansion of an existing
facility,  which have a total remaining funding commitment of $10.4 million.  As
of June 30, 1998,  the Company,  in the normal  course of business,  had entered
into  definitive  contracts  to  acquire  16 acres of land and a medical  office
building,  both in  Pennsylvania,  totaling  approximately  $5.7 million.  These
commitments  will be funded from the sale or exchange of common  stock,  Company
operations or proceeds borrowed under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

     On July  1,  1998,  warrants  for  128,149  shares  of  common  stock  were
exercised.  The Company received $2.4 million in proceeds from the exercise. The
Company  has no other  warrants  outstanding.  The  proceeds  were  used to fund
development and for general corporate purposes.

     FFO increased to $12.3 million, or $0.61 per basic share ($0.60 per diluted
share) for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $10.9  million,  or $0.58
per basic share ($0.57 per diluted share) for the same period in 1997.  Although
FFO is not based upon  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the Company
considers it to be an informative  measure of the  performance of an equity REIT
and consistent with measures used by analysts to evaluate equity REITs.

     As part of the merger (see Note 7, the  Merger),  the  Company  will assume
approximately  $3.8 million  aggregate  principal  amount of 10.50%  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures of Capstone.  The 10.50%  Debentures mature on April 1,
2002,  unless  redeemed  earlier by the  Company or  converted  by the  holders.
Payments of interest to the holders of the  Debentures are required each April 1
and October 1,  commencing  October 1, 1995. The Debentures  will be convertible
into  shares of common  stock of the  Company at the option of the holder at any
time prior to redemption or stated maturity,  at a conversion  prices of $16.125
per share. The 10.50% Debentures will be subordinated to all existing and future
senior  indebtedness of the Company and  subordinated to all existing and future
liabilities and obligations of subsidiaries and partnerships of the Company. The
10.50% Debentures will be redeemable,  at the Company's option, in whole or from
time to time in part, at any time from April 5, 2000, through March 31, 2002, at
redemption  prices  ranging  from  101.5% to  103.0%,  plus  accrued  and unpaid
interest to and including the redemption date.

     In addition,  as part of the merger (see Note 7, the  Merger),  the Company
will assume  approximately  $74.7 million  aggregate  principal  amount of 6.55%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures of Capstone. The 6.55% Debentures are due on
March  14,  2002  and were  issued  at a  issued  at a price of $903 per  $1,000
principal  amount at maturity,  which  represents an original  issue discount of
9.7% from the principal amount thereof which is payable at maturity.
    17

     Interest on the 6.55%  Debentures  is payable  March 14 and September 14 in
each year,  and  commenced  on  September  14,  1997.  Such rate of interest and
accrual of original issue  discount  represents a yield to maturity of 9.00% per
annum  (computed on a semiannual bond equivalent  basis).  The 6.55%  Debentures
will be convertible into common stock of the Company at any time before maturity
at an initial conversion ratio of 39.4754 shares of common stock for each $1,000
principal amount of 6.55%  Debentures,  subject to adjustment in certain events.
As of December 31, 1997 there had been no conversions of the 6.55% Debentures.

     Both the Company and  Capstone  (see Note 7, the Merger)  have  outstanding
credit facilities from commercial banks led by NationsBank. As of June 30, 1998,
Capstone had approximately $174.6 million outstanding under its unsecured credit
facility while the Company had no outstanding balance under its unsecured credit
facility.  As part of the  merger,  the  Company  will  assume  the  outstanding
principal  amount  of  Capstone's   unsecured   credit  facility.   The  Company
anticipates  combining  both  credit  facilities  into one new credit  facility.
NationsBank  has indicated an interest in  discussing  the  transaction  and the
Company has supplied  NationsBank with certain requested  information.  No terms
have been  agreed to.  However,  while the Company  can give no  assurances,  it
believes it will obtain a combined credit  facility on  economically  reasonable
terms.

     The  Company  will  fund  the  debt  service  on  the  10.50%   Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures,  the 6.55% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures and on
the combined credit facilities from the Company's revenue from operations, which
will include  additional  revenues  attributable  to the  operations of Capstone
following the merger.

     As of June 30,  1998 the Company can issue an  aggregate  of  approximately
$108.0 million of securities  remaining under currently  effective  registration
statements.  The Company  intends to offer  securities  under such  registration
statements from time to time to finance future  acquisitions  and  build-to-suit
developments as they occur. The Company may, under certain circumstances, borrow
additional  amounts  in  connection  with the  renovation  or  expansion  of its
properties,  the  acquisition  or  development  of additional  properties or, as
necessary,  to meet  distribution  requirements  for REITs  under the Code.  The
Company may raise additional  capital or make investments by issuing,  in public
or private  transactions,  its equity and debt securities,  but the availability
and terms of any such issuance will depend upon market and other conditions.

     Under  the  terms of the  leases  and other  financial  support  agreements
relating  to the  properties,  tenants or  healthcare  providers  are  generally
responsible for operating  expenses and taxes relating to the  properties.  As a
result of these  arrangements,  the  Company  does not  believe  that it will be
responsible  for any  material  increase  in  expenses  in  connection  with the
properties   during  the  respective  terms  of  the  agreements.   The  Company
anticipates  entering  into  similar  arrangements  with  respect to  additional
properties  it acquires or  develops.  After the term of the lease or  financial
support  agreement,  or in the event the financial  obligations  required by the
agreement are not met, the Company  anticipates  that any  expenditures it might
become responsible for in maintaining the properties will be funded by cash from
operations and, in the case of major expenditures,  possibly by borrowings.
    18

     To the extent that unanticipated expenditures or significant borrowings are
required,  the Company's  cash available for  distribution  and liquidity may be
adversely affected.

     Management  believes that  inflation  should not have a materially  adverse
effect on the Company.  The majority of the leases  contain some  provision  for
additional rent payments based on increases in various economic measures.

     There has been a recent  reduction  in the  market  capitalization  of REIT
stocks generally.  The Company's market valuation has been, in part, affected by
this  general  trend;  however,  management  believes  that the  quality  of its
investments  in  healthcare  real  estate,  its  ability to provide  third party
services to the healthcare  industry and its  conservative  investment  criteria
differentiate  it from the  majority  of REITs.  The Company  believes  that the
capital markets should recognize those differences.  Nonetheless, it is possible
that this trend will have a negative  impact on the Company's  access to capital
and the amount of funds that the Company  will have  available  for  investment.
While the  Company  anticipates  that it will be able to access  debt and equity
markets on a basis that will enable it to make quality real estate  investments,
there is no assurance that it will be able to do so. Inability to access capital
markets  would limit the Company's  ability to achieve  growth in its asset base
and its financial return

     The Company plans to continue to make  additional  investments in 1998, pay
its quarterly  dividends,  with increases consistent with its current practices,
and meet all other liquidity needs. The Company provides no assurance,  however,
that it will  be  able to  obtain  additional  financing  or  capital  on  terms
acceptable to the Company in sufficient amounts to meet its liquidity needs.

     This  June 30,  1998  Form  10-Q of the  Company  includes  forward-looking
statements  which  reflect the  Company's  current  views with respect to future
events and financial performance.  These forward-looking  statements are subject
to certain risks and  uncertainties  which would cause actual  results to differ
materially from  historical  results or those  anticipated.  For a more detailed
discussion  of these  factors,  see Item 1 of the  Company's  Form  10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

     Some of the Company's older computer programs were written using two digits
rather  that four  digits to define  the  applicable  year.  As a result,  those
computer programs have time-sensitive  software that recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could cause a system failure or
miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things,
a temporary  inability  to process  transactions,  send  invoices,  or engage in
similar normal business activities.  The Company has completed an assessment and
will have to modify or replace  portions of its  software  so that its  computer
systems  will  function  properly  with  respect  to dates in the year  2000 and
thereafter.  The bulk of the  software  employed by the Company is  commercially
developed  applications  which are year  2000  compliant.  Replacement  software
represents  upgrades  that  would  have been  undertaken  by the  Company in the
ordinary course of events;  and, all of the Company's software is expected to be
year 2000  compliant not later than December 31, 1998. The cost of becoming year
2000 compliant is not expected to be material to the Company.
    19

     In addition, the Company has ongoing relationships with third-party payors,
suppliers,  vendors,  and others that may have  computer  systems with year 2000
issues that the Company  does not control.  There can be no  assurance  that the
fiscal  intermediaries  with which the Company transacts  business and which are
responsible  for  payment  to the  Company,  as well as other  payors,  will not
experience significant problems with year 2000 compliance.  The failure of third
parties  to remedy  year  2000  problems  could  have an  adverse  effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
