THE COMPANY American Medserve Corporation (the "Company" or "AMC") is a leading independent provider of pharmacy services to long-term care institutions, including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and other long-term health care settings. The Company purchases, repackages and dispenses pharmaceuticals to patients or residents in its client facilities and provides such facilities with related consultant pharmacist and information services, including formulary management (I.E., management of pharmaceuticals dispensed to minimize cost and maximize therapeutic benefit), automated medical record-keeping, drug therapy evaluation and assistance with regulatory compliance. The Company also provides infusion therapy (I.E., intravenous introduction of fluids containing medications and/or nutrients), parenteral and enteral nutrition therapy (I.E., introduction, either intravenously or directly into a patient's digestive system, of nutrient fluids or other fluids), inhalation and respiratory therapy and wound care management services, as well as medical supplies and devices. As of October 23, 1996, AMC provided pharmacy services to approximately 41,800 residents at over 540 facilities located in Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Virginia. The Company was formed by Timothy L. Burfield (the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer) and an investment fund affiliated with Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner, Inc. to participate in the consolidation of the long-term care pharmacy industry. To meet this objective, the Company has pursued an acquisition program designed to expand its presence in selected geographic markets. Since commencing operations in August 1994, the Company has completed 18 acquisitions, including ten acquisitions in 1996. In April 1996, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply Services, Inc. ("Good Samaritan Supply"). The Company's co-investor in Good Samaritan Supply is The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation (the "Foundation"), an affiliate of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the "Society"). A 1995 industry survey ranked (by total licensed beds) the Society as the fifth largest, and largest non-profit, owner-operator of nursing homes in the United States. As of October 23, 1996, the Society operated 236 long-term care facilities in 26 states, of which 20 facilities were served by the Company's long-term care pharmacy operations. The Company believes that the Society's facilities that are not currently served by the Company's long-term care pharmacy operations represent a significant potential market for such operations. The Company believes that several factors support growth in the U.S. market for pharmacy services in long-term care facilities, including the aging of the U.S. population; the increasing acuity level of patients receiving care in lower-cost non-hospital facilities; the emergence of alternative long-term care settings, such as assisted living; and the continuing advances in drug research and development. In addition, the long-term care pharmacy market is fragmented and is in the process of consolidating. Prior to the 1970's, retail pharmacies generally fulfilled the pharmacy needs of most long-term care facilities. Today, long-term care institutions are more typically served by pharmacies that specialize in serving the needs of the elderly, including "captive" pharmacy companies owned by, or affiliated with, long-term care providers and independent long-term care pharmacy companies such 3 as the Company. The Company believes that larger providers possess the advantages associated with size, such as enhanced purchasing power and the ability to spread fixed costs over a larger revenue base, as well as the breadth of services and capital necessary to compete in this increasingly competitive and regulated business environment. The Company seeks to benefit from these favorable industry trends and to continue to expand its position as a leading independent provider of pharmacy services to long-term care facilities through the implementation of its business strategy, which emphasizes (i) continuing the acquisition of long-term care pharmacy companies to serve as platforms for the Company's entry into new markets as well as "add-on" pharmacies in AMC's existing markets; (ii) promoting internal growth by expanding the breadth of the Company's services and by increasing its marketing emphasis on newly-introduced products and services; (iii) achieving greater efficiency through the consolidation and coordination of purchasing, administrative and financial reporting functions; and (iv) forming strategic alliances (such as the Company's alliance with the Foundation) with long-term care facility operators and other health care providers to enable the Company to expand its product and service offerings and to lower the cost of care, thereby increasing the Company's appeal to managed care organizations and other payors.

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY The Company commenced operations in August 1994 with its initial acquisition of a long-term care pharmacy provider. Since its inception, the Company has experienced substantial growth in revenues and operating income primarily through the acquisition of long-term care pharmacy companies. Although certain of these acquired businesses have been in operation for some time, the Company has a limited consolidated operating history upon which prospective investors may evaluate the Company's performance. In addition, the Company's limited consolidated operating history may not serve as an accurate indicator of the Company's future performance. There can be no assurance that the Company's revenue and operating income growth will be sustained. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." IMPACT OF ACQUISITIONS AND MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH In accordance with its strategy for growth, the Company is presently engaged in an expansion program that incorporates an active acquisition program in the long-term care pharmacy industry. The success of the Company's acquisition program and of its underlying growth strategy will depend on, among other things, the continued availability of suitable acquisition candidates. There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition candidates will be available or that, because of competition from other purchasers or for other reasons, the Company will be able to complete any acquisitions on favorable terms, or at all, in the future. See "Business -- Acquisition Program." As a consequence of its acquisitions, the Company has grown significantly in size and has broadened the geographic area in which it operates. Any acquisition, however, involves inherent uncertainties, such as the effect on the acquired business of integration into a larger organization and the availability of management resources to oversee the operations of the acquired business. The Company's ability to integrate the operations of acquired companies is essential to its future success. There can be no assurance as to the Company's ability to integrate new businesses nor as to its success in managing the significantly larger operations resulting therefrom. The Company's rapid growth has presented and will continue to present numerous operational challenges, such as the assimilation of financial reporting systems and increased pressure on the Company's senior management, and will increase the demands on the Company's systems and internal controls. Even though an acquired business may have experienced profitability and growth as an independent company prior to its acquisition by the Company, there can be no assurance that such profitability and growth will continue thereafter. In addition, there can be no assurance that acquired businesses that do not have histories of profitability as independent companies will achieve profitability after acquisition by the Company. Finally, there can be no assurance that businesses acquired by the Company in the future will achieve sufficient profitability and growth to justify the Company's investment in such businesses. In addition, the Company has recorded and may continue to record significant amounts of goodwill in connection with its acquisitions. This goodwill is amortized by the Company over a period of 40 years, which amortization has resulted and will continue to result in periodic charges to earnings, which the Company expects will increase in the future as it continues its acquisition program. For the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded amortization expense in the amount of $618,000 and $275,000, respectively. In the event that the Company determines that the carrying value of goodwill related to a specific acquisition is impaired, the Company would be required to write down such carrying value which would result in a charge to earnings. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. In addition, the Company may issue shares of Common Stock as a component of the purchase price in future acquisitions. Such issuances, if and when they occur, would dilute the 7 ownership interests of existing stockholders and could have a dilutive effect on the Company's per share earnings. To date, the Company has issued an aggregate of 1,002,755 shares of Common Stock (including shares issuable upon conversion of the Royal Care Note) in partial consideration for its acquisitions. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO GROWTH STRATEGY The Company's acquisition strategy will require significant capital resources and, as a result, the Company may need to incur additional bank indebtedness. To pursue its acquisition strategy, the Company also may need to issue, in public or private transactions, equity or debt securities, the terms of which will depend on market and other conditions. Capital is needed not only for acquisitions, but also for the effective integration, operation and expansion of acquired businesses. The Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash generated from operations and funds available under its bank credit facility and under Good Samaritan Supply's bank credit facility will be adequate to support its foreseeable capital requirements, although a large acquisition or a number of smaller acquisitions may require funds in excess of such availability. After giving effect to the Offering and the use of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," $50 million will be available under the Company's bank credit facility and $12.3 million will be available to Good Samaritan Supply under Good Samaritan Supply's bank credit facility. There can be no assurance that financing for future acquisitions or for the integration, operation and expansion of existing or acquired businesses can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain acceptable financing, it may be unable to implement its growth strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources." INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE The business of providing pharmacy services to the long-term care industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with numerous retail pharmacies, local, regional and national long-term care pharmacies and captive pharmacy companies owned by, or affiliated with, long-term care providers. In its program of acquiring long-term care pharmacy providers, the Company competes with several other companies that have similar acquisition strategies. Some of the Company's competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources than those of the Company. There can be no assurance that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. See "Business -- Competition." The current trend in the long-term care industry is to consolidate long-term care facilities. In addition, certain operators of long-term care facilities have been acquiring their own companies to provide pharmacy products and services, rather than obtaining such products and services from independent providers like the Company. Both of these trends may adversely affect the Company by decreasing the number of customers for which the Company can effectively compete. In addition, an ownership change in any of the Company's client facilities might result in the loss of such customer. While no single customer of the Company (other than facilities operated by The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the "Society"), which in the aggregate accounted for approximately 10%) accounted for more than 5% of the Company's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996, on a pro forma basis, the loss by the Company of a significant customer in a particular market might have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. See "Business -- Customers." THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER 1996 CHARGES In September 1996 the Company issued an aggregate of 310,208 shares of Common Stock to certain directors and officers, and in November 1996 the Company accelerated the vesting of all such shares that were then unvested. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Director Stock Issuances" and "Certain Transactions -- Company Common Stock Issuances." In connection with these transactions, in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and the quarter ending December 31, 1996, the Company will record additional non-cash, non-recurring compensation expense (the "Special Compensation Charges") in the amount of $1.3 million and $1.1 8 million, respectively. In August 1996 in connection with the Minority Interest Conversions, the Company issued an aggregate of 794,581 shares of Common Stock to certain shareholders of its subsidiaries, and options to purchase shares of common stock in certain subsidiaries were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 146,635 shares of Common Stock. See "Company Background." As part of the Minority Interest Conversions, the Company has recorded additional goodwill in the amount of $4.5 million, which goodwill the Company expects to amortize ratably over a 40-year period. See Note 3 of Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will recognize no corresponding tax benefits from any of these charges. In addition, in connection with the issuance of the options to purchase an aggregate of 146,635 shares of Common Stock, the Company will record additional non-cash compensation expense in the amount of $86,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and an aggregate of $176,000 to be recognized over the seven-year vesting period of such options. In addition, the Company will record one-time, non-recurring charges in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1996 in the amount of approximately $287,500 ($173,000 net of tax) relating to the early termination in connection with the Offering of the professional services agreement with an affiliate of its principal stockholder and in the amount of approximately $245,000 ($135,000 net of tax) relating to special bonuses paid to members of management in connection with the Offering. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Third and Fourth Quarter 1996 Charges." REGULATION AND REIMBURSEMENT The Company's pharmacy business is subject to federal, state and local regulations, and its pharmacies are required to be licensed in the states in which they are located. The failure to obtain or renew any required regulatory approvals or licenses could adversely affect the continued operation of the Company's business. In addition, the long-term care facilities that contract for the Company's services are also subject to federal, state and local regulations and are required to be licensed in the states in which they are located. The failure by these institutions to comply with such regulations or to obtain or renew any required licenses could result in the loss of the Company's ability to provide pharmacy services to their residents. The Company is also subject to federal and state laws that prohibit certain direct and indirect payments between health care providers that are intended, among other things, to induce or encourage the referral of residents to, or the recommendation of, a particular provider of items or services. Violation of these laws can result in loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, approximately 42% of the Company's revenues were paid by Medicare and Medicaid and an additional 26% were paid by long-term care facilities, a portion of which were, in turn, reimbursed by Medicare. Medicare and Medicaid are highly regulated. The failure of the Company and/or its client facilities to comply with applicable reimbursement regulations could adversely affect the Company's business. In addition, changes in such reimbursement programs or in regulations related thereto, such as reductions in the allowable reimbursement levels, modifications in the timing or processing of payments and other changes intended to limit or decrease the growth of Medicare and Medicaid expenditures, could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. See "Business -- Reimbursement and Billing" and "-- Government Regulation." UNCERTAINTY DUE TO POTENTIAL CHANGES IN NATIONAL AND STATE HEALTH CARE POLICIES The Clinton administration and members of Congress have proposed reforms to the system of health care delivery in the United States. The process by which the administration or Congress will pursue proposals for national health care reform and the precise nature of any such proposals are unclear at this time. In addition, several states are considering various health care reforms, including reforms through Medicaid managed care demonstration projects. The states of Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota and New York (from which four states approximately 47% of the Company's revenues on a pro forma basis for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were derived) have applied for, or received, 9 approval from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") for waivers from certain Medicaid requirements, which are generally required for such managed care projects. Although these demonstration projects generally exempt institutional care, including long-term care facilities and long-term care pharmacy services, no assurance can be given that these waiver projects ultimately will not change the Medicaid reimbursement system for long-term care, including pharmacy services in certain states, from fee-for-service to managed care negotiated or capitated rates. It is not possible to predict what reforms of the health care system will be adopted or the effect, if any, such reforms may have on the Company's business and its results of operations. See "Business - -- Reimbursement and Billing" and "-- Government Regulation." DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES The Company's operations are substantially dependent on the abilities of Timothy L. Burfield, Michael B. Freedman, J. Jeffrey Gephart and Charles R. Wallace, the executive officers of the Company. In December 1993, the Company entered into a management and non-competition agreement with Mr. Burfield, which the Company and Mr. Burfield contemplate amending and restating following consummation of the Offering. In September 1996 the Company entered into management and non-competition agreements with Messrs. Freedman, Gephart and Wallace. See "Management -- Management Agreements." The Company's ability to operate its acquired businesses is also substantially dependent on the contribution of management of such businesses. While the Company has management agreements with certain of these individuals, the loss of the services of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. RISK OF PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY; AVAILABILITY OF INSURANCE The Company's business exposes it to risks that are inherent in the packaging and distribution of pharmaceuticals and the provision of other services, such as consultant pharmacist services and formulary management services. The Company maintains general/professional liability insurance in the amount of $1 million per claim and $3 million aggregate per pharmacy location and umbrella liability insurance in the amount of $10 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate. There can be no assurance that the coverage limits of such insurance will be adequate to protect the Company against future claims. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain professional liability insurance in the future on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. See "Business--Insurance." CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER Upon completion of the Offering, Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Fund IV, L.P. (the "GTCR Fund") will hold approximately 38.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner, Inc. ("GTCR") is the general partner of GTCR IV, L.P., which is the general partner of the GTCR Fund. Accordingly, GTCR will be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Bryan C. Cressey, Chairman of the Board of the Company, and Lee M. Mitchell, a director of the Company, are each principals of GTCR. In addition, the Company and the GTCR Fund have entered into an agreement effectively giving the GTCR Fund the right to nominate an additional GTCR Fund representative for election to the Board of the Company. See "Principal Stockholders," "Description of Capital Stock," "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Stockholders Agreement of the Company" and "-- Nominating Agreement." PAYMENTS TO PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER AND ITS AFFILIATE The Company will use approximately $16.9 million ($19.5 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) of the net proceeds of the Offering to make a one-time mandatory preferential distribution to the GTCR Fund, the holder of the Company's Class A Common Stock (which stock will be converted into Common Stock contemporaneously with the Offering), pursuant to the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, the 10 Company will pay GTCR IV, L.P. (the general partner of the GTCR Fund) $450,000 of the net proceeds of the Offering in payment of accrued management fees and in exchange for the termination of a professional services agreement. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation." POSSIBLE DILUTION RESULTING FROM GOOD SAMARITAN OPTION AND PUT In connection with the Company's acquisition in April 1996 of a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply, the Company granted the Foundation (which currently holds 60% of the stock in Good Samaritan Supply and will, after the Good Samaritan Consolidation, hold 49.9% of such stock) an option, exercisable after the Offering, to convert the Foundation's shares of stock in Good Samaritan Supply (which option is limited, prior to April 30, 1999, to 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Good Samaritan Supply common stock) into shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering Option") and a right (the "Good Samaritan Put"), exercisable after April 30, 1999, to put the Foundation's shares of stock in Good Samaritan Supply to the Company in exchange for, at the Company's option, cash and/or Common Stock. The formula for determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option or the Good Samaritan Put is based upon several factors, including (a) the total consolidated market capitalization of the Company (which, in turn, depends upon the market price of the Company's Common Stock), (b) the book value of Good Samaritan Supply, (c) the Company's percentage ownership of Good Samaritan Supply, and (d) Good Samaritan Supply's relative contribution to the Company's consolidated net income over a trailing twelve-month period, with each entity's net income being adjusted for extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses, including the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued operations, etc. While this formula is intended to approximate the fair value of the shares of Good Samaritan Supply common stock being converted or exchanged, there can be no assurance that the value of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option or the Good Samaritan Put will in fact approximate the fair value of such shares of Good Samaritan Supply common stock. Based upon management's current estimate of the relative future performance of the Company and Good Samaritan Supply, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Foundation upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option or the Good Samaritan Put would be substantially less than 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. It is possible, however, that, under certain extraordinary circumstances (i.e., the Company's recognizing a consolidated net loss (without regard to Good Samaritan Supply), Good Samaritan Supply's performing extraordinarily better than projected and the Company's market capitalization approaching zero), the Company would be obligated to issue a number of shares which, after giving effect to such issuance, would be in excess of 99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option or the Good Samaritan Put (but, in the case of the Good Samaritan Put, only if the Company elected to exchange Common Stock rather than cash for the Foundation's shares of stock in Good Samaritan Supply). The Company believes that the probability of occurrence of such circumstances is extremely remote. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option or the Good Samaritan Put equals or exceeds 20% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. would require shareholder approval of such issuance. See "Certain Transactions -- Good Samaritan Relationship." INCREASINGLY SIGNIFICANT ROLE OF MANAGED CARE As managed care organizations assume an increasingly significant role in the health care industry, the Company's future success may, in part, be dependent on obtaining and retaining managed care contracts. Managed care organizations are typically insurance companies, which offer pre-paid, capitated health plans, as opposed to "fee-for-service" plans. Competition for managed care contracts is intense and, in most cases, will require the Company to compete based on breadth of services offered, pricing, ability to track and report patient outcomes and cost data and provision of value-added 11 consultant pharmacist services, among other factors. In addition, reimbursement rates under managed care contracts typically are lower than those paid by other private, third-party payors. Approximately 9.4% of the Company's total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis were derived from the sale of products and services sold pursuant to participation agreements with insurance companies, including managed care organizations. Approximately 4.6% of the Company's revenues derived from its core business of providing pharmaceutical dispensing services to residents of long-term care facilities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis was pursuant to contracts with managed care organizations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively compete for such managed care contracts or that the managed care contracts it obtains will be on terms as favorable to the Company as those of its current contracts. SIGNIFICANT OPERATING LOSSES AT RECENTLY ACQUIRED SUBSIDIARY In August 1996 the Company completed the acquisition of Royal Care of America, Inc. ("Royal Care"), a provider of long-term care pharmacy services to approximately 7,700 residents in 155 facilities in upstate New York. In its most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, Royal Care incurred losses from operations in the amount of $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company believes that, prior to its acquisition by the Company, Royal Care had begun to take steps to reduce such operating losses. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that Royal Care will achieve profitability at a level sufficient to justify the Company's investment in such business. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Overview." ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET AND POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for any securities of the Company, including the Common Stock. Although the Common Stock has been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or that the market price of the Common Stock will not decline below the initial public offering price. The initial public offering price of the Common Stock will be determined by negotiations between the Company and the Representatives of the Underwriters. See "Underwriting." The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which in some circumstances have been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price for shares of the Common Stock may be highly volatile depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the state of the national economy, stock market conditions, industry research reports, actions by governmental agencies, litigation involving the Company, earnings and other announcements by the Company or its competitors and general conditions in the long-term care pharmacy business. POTENTIAL EFFECT OF ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS AND CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW Certain provisions of Delaware law and the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. The Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws provide for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. Such classification of the Board of Directors lengthens the time required to change the composition of a majority of directors and could discourage a proxy contest or other takeover bid for the Company. The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows the Company to issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of the Common Stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of the Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of making an unsolicited acquisition of the Company more difficult, and consequently cause a decrease in the market price of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibit the Company from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the 12 business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock" and "-- Certain Limited Liability, Indemnification and Anti-takeover Provisions." IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION Purchasers of Common Stock offered hereby (at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share) will experience immediate dilution of $11.66 per share in the pro forma net tangible book value of the Common Stock. See "Dilution." SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market after the Offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock and could impair the future ability of the Company to raise capital through an offering of its equity securities. The Company, its officers and directors, and other stockholders, holding in the aggregate all of the Company's currently outstanding shares of Common Stock, have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of William Blair & Company, L.L.C. (except, in the case of the Company, for the issuance of the Additional GTCR Shares and shares issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding options, upon conversion of the Royal Care Note, pursuant to the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement and in connection with possible future acquisitions). Upon expiration of a 180-day lock-up period, 2,567,282 shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Underwriting." NO CURRENT INTENTION TO PAY DIVIDENDS Other than the one-time mandatory preferential distribution to the Company's principal stockholder to be paid with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock (which stock will be converted into Common Stock contemporaneously with the Offering) described under the caption "Company Background," the Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on, or made any other distribution with respect to, its Common Stock since its formation and does not currently intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock, but intends to retain future earnings for reinvestment in its business. Any future determination by the Company to pay cash dividends on its Common Stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will be dependent upon the Company's results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. See "Dividend Policy." HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE The operations of the Company are conducted primarily through the Company's operating subsidiaries. See "Company Background." As a holding company, the Company relies primarily on such subsidiaries for dividends and other permitted payments to meet its obligations for corporate expenses. The payment of dividends by the Company's subsidiaries will depend, in part, on the available surplus and future earnings of the subsidiaries. 13 COMPANY BACKGROUND American Medserve Corporation (the "Company" or "AMC"), a Delaware corporation, was formed in November 1993 by Timothy L. Burfield (the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer) and Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Fund IV, L.P. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Overview." Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to the "Company" or "AMC" shall mean the Company and its subsidiaries, including AMC Regional Holdings, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. AMC Regional Holding, Inc. was formed to function as a financing and acquisition company for the Company's acquisitions and is the direct or indirect parent of all of the Company's operating subsidiaries, other than Good Samaritan Supply. Commencing with its acquisition of Gatti LTC Services, Inc. in August 1994, the Company has completed a total of 18 acquisitions. Historically, as part of the Company's acquisition strategy of identifying and motivating strong management teams, management of the acquired companies has generally retained minority equity interests in their respective companies. In August 1996, the Company exercised its right to convert such minority interests into Common Stock of the Company, and options to purchase shares of such acquired companies were converted into options to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "Minority Interest Conversions"). Following the Minority Interest Conversions, the acquired companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and members of management of such companies became the holders in the aggregate of approximately 16.6% (approximately 8.0% after giving effect to the Offering) of the fully-diluted common equity of the Company (assuming exercise of all outstanding stock options held by management of such companies). In April 1996, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply, principally a provider of pharmaceutical products and services and medical supplies to the long-term care market. Upon consummation of the Offering, this interest in Good Samaritan Supply will increase to 50.1% upon exercise by the Company of an option to acquire from Good Samaritan Supply an additional equity interest for an exercise price of $2.0 million. After giving effect to such exercise (the "Good Samaritan Consolidation"), Good Samaritan Supply will be a consolidated operating subsidiary of the Company for financial reporting purposes. At any time after April 30, 2001, the Company has the right to acquire up to a 90% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply. See "Business - -- Good Samaritan Alliance" and "Certain Transactions -- Good Samaritan Relationship." In addition to the Company's acquisition in August 1994 of Gatti LTC Services, Inc. (based in Indiana, Pennsylvania) and Williamson Drug Company, Inc. (based in Harrisonburg, Virginia), during the period January 1, 1995 to date, the Company has completed the acquisition of 13 long-term care pharmacy providers: Nihan & Martin, Inc., based in Rockford, Illinois; Dixon Pharmacy, Inc., based in Dixon, Illinois; Johnson Pharmacy and Medical Supply, Inc., based in South Hills, Pennsylvania; Sterling Healthcare Services, Inc., based in Shreveport, Louisiana; Pharmed, Inc., based in Alexandria, Louisiana; Pharmed of Baton Rouge, Inc., based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Extended Care Associates, Inc., based in Lynchburg, Virginia; PRN, Inc., based in Portsmouth, Virginia; Crawford Drug, based in Freeport, Illinois; Woodbine Pharmacy, Inc., based in Manassas, Virginia; Royal Care of America, Inc., based in Malta, New York; Okie's Pharmacy, based in Newfane, New York; and Critical Care Pharmacy, based in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. In addition, during that period, the Company has completed the acquisition of two prescription medical supply services providers: Gatti Medical Supply, Inc., based in Indiana, Pennsylvania; and Specialized Patient Care Services, Inc., based in Mobile, Alabama. These 15 acquisitions completed during the period January 1, 1995 to date are referred to herein as the "Completed Acquisitions." See "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." 14 Set forth below as of October 15, 1996 is an organizational chart showing the Company and each of its subsidiaries: [CHART] In accordance with the terms of the Company's Class A Common Stock, upon the occurrence of the Offering and from the net proceeds thereof, the GTCR Fund, as the sole holder of the Company's Class A Common Stock, will receive a preferential cash distribution in the amount of approximately $16.9 million (approximately $19.5 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). In addition, upon the occurrence of future public offerings the holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to additional preferential distributions until the holder's entire investment in Class A Common Stock plus a specified yield thereon is paid in full. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Agreement with GTCR Fund Regarding Class A Common Stock." In consideration of the GTCR Fund's full release and discharge of any and all future preferences with respect to Class A Common Stock, the Company has agreed to issue to the GTCR Fund additional shares of Common Stock (the "Additional GTCR Shares"), representing the amount of the expected remaining unpaid preference with respect to the Class A Common Stock (expected to be approximately $7.9 million at November 15, 1996) divided by the initial public offering price of shares of Common Stock. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, the Company will issue to the GTCR Fund 565,625 Additional GTCR Shares (378,833 Additional GTCR Shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). In connection with the Offering, the Company will adopt an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, pursuant to which all shares of Class A Common Stock will be converted into shares of Common Stock. In August 1996 the Company acquired Royal Care of America, Inc., a provider of long-term care pharmacy services to approximately 7,700 residents in 155 facilities in upstate New York (8,800 residents in 164 facilities as of October 23, 1996). As part of the consideration for such purchase, the Company issued to the seller an 8.75% convertible subordinated note in the principal amount of $2.0 million (the "Royal Care Note"). The Royal Care Note is convertible by the holder, during the 30-day period beginning 30 days following the Offering, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $2.0 million plus accrued interest thereon, divided by 85% of the initial public offering price per share. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, the Royal Care Note would be convertible into 174,554 shares of Common Stock. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 184 Shuman Blvd., Suite 200, Naperville, Illinois 60563, and its telephone number is (630) 717-2904. 15 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be approximately $67.6 million ($78.1 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), assuming an initial public offering price of $14.00 per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by the Company. Approximately $16.9 million of the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering (approximately $19.5 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be used to make a one-time mandatory preferential distribution to the GTCR Fund, the holder of the Company's Class A Common Stock (which stock will be converted into Common Stock contemporaneously with the Offering), pursuant to the terms thereof as set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (see "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Agreement with GTCR Fund Regarding Class A Common Stock"). The balance of the net proceeds of the Offering will be used (i) to make a payment of $450,000 to GTCR IV, L.P., the general partner of the GTCR Fund, $162,500 of which is in payment of accrued management fees and $287,500 of which is in exchange for the termination of a professional services agreement (see "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Professional Services Agreement"); (ii) to repay in full $5.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under a bridge loan, plus accrued interest thereon of approximately $100,000 (the "Bridge Loan"); (iii) to make a prepayment of $900,000 on the revolving credit facility outstanding under the Credit Agreement dated as of March 15, 1996, among AMC Regional Holdings, Inc. and certain commercial lending institutions (the "Credit Agreement"); (iv) to make a prepayment of $11.9 million on the acquisition loan facility outstanding under the Credit Agreement; (v) to make a payment of $25.0 million on the term loan facility outstanding under the Credit Agreement; (vi) to make an additional investment of $2.0 million in Good Samaritan Supply in connection with the Good Samaritan Consolidation, which $2.0 million will be utilized by Good Samaritan Supply to reduce outstanding indebtedness (see "Company Background"); and (vii) for other general corporate purposes, including possible future acquisitions. Although an integral part of the Company's business strategy is growth through acquisitions, and the Company is currently in discussions with acquisition candidates, no acquisition has become the subject of any definitive agreement, letter of intent or agreement in principle. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds in short-term investment grade securities. The Credit Agreement provides for interest to be paid on amounts outstanding at varying rates, depending on the applicable facility under the Credit Agreement and whether certain financial ratio tests are met. On June 30, 1996, the annual interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 10.0%, and the annual interest rate on the acquisition loan facility and the term loan facility was 8.5%. The Credit Agreement also provides for a 0.50% annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit and acquisition loan facilities ($18.0 million at June 30, 1996). The revolving credit facility terminates on March 15, 2002. Indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility was incurred to provide funds for working capital needs of the Company's subsidiaries, to repay loans and for other general corporate purposes. The acquisition loan facility converts to a term loan on March 15, 1998 and is thereafter payable in sixteen consecutive quarterly installments commencing June 30, 1998 and continuing through March 31, 2002. Indebtedness outstanding under the acquisition loan facility was incurred to finance certain acquisitions and to pay transaction costs associated with such acquisitions and with the Credit Agreement and related documents. The term loan facility matures on March 31, 2002. Indebtedness outstanding under the term loan facility was incurred to refinance indebtedness that had been incurred (i) in connection with acquisitions made prior to March 1996, (ii) to pay expenses associated with refinancing the Credit Agreement and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The Bridge Loan is due on January 2, 1997 and bears interest per annum at the lender's prime rate (8.25% at October 23, 1996). Indebtedness under the Bridge Loan was incurred to provide 16 additional financing to fund, in part, acquisitions that occurred in August 1996. Repayment of the Bridge Loan is guaranteed by the GTCR Fund. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Bridge Loan Guaranty." The Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash generated from operations and funds available under the Credit Agreement, as well as funds available to Good Samaritan Supply under Good Samaritan Supply's bank credit facility, will be adequate to support the foreseeable capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries through 1998, although a large acquisition or a number of smaller acquisitions may require funds in excess of such availability. DIVIDEND POLICY Other than the one-time mandatory preferential distribution to the Company's principal stockholder with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock (which stock will be converted into Common Stock contemporaneously with the Offering) described under the caption "Company Background," the Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on, or made any other distribution with respect to, its Common Stock since its formation and does not currently intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock, but intends to retain future earnings for reinvestment in its business. Any future determination by the Company to pay cash dividends on its Common Stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will be dependent upon the Company's results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, AMC Regional Holdings, Inc. may not pay dividends to the Company prior to June 30, 1997 in an aggregate amount in excess of $700,000. Consequently, the Company's ability to pay dividends is restricted. 17 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the short-term debt and total capitalization of the Company at June 30, 1996 on (i) a historical basis; (ii) a pro forma basis to give effect to the Completed Acquisitions that occurred after June 30, 1996, the Minority Interest Conversions, the Good Samaritan Consolidation, the issuance of shares to management in September 1996 and the recognition of the Special Compensation Charges in connection therewith, the recording of a liability in connection with the one-time mandatory preferential distribution with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock (which stock will be converted into Common Stock contemporaneously with the Offering) and the conversion of the Royal Care Note; and (iii) a pro forma basis as further adjusted to give effect to the issuance of the Additional GTCR Shares and the Offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, and the application of a portion of the estimated net proceeds therefrom to repay interest-bearing indebtedness in the amount $44.8 million, to fund the cash payment of the one-time mandatory preferential distribution in the amount of $16.9 million to the Company's principal stockholder with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock and to fund a $450,000 payment to an affiliate of the Company's principal stockholder in discharge of accrued management fees and to terminate a professional services agreement.

See "Management -- Employee Benefit Plans -- 1996 Stock Incentive Plan" and "-- Subsidiary Option Plans." Also excludes shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement. See "Risk Factors -- Possible Dilution Resulting from Good Samaritan Option and Put," "Company Background" and "Certain Transactions -- Good Samaritan Relationship." 18 DILUTION As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) of $(48.1) million, or $(7.63) per share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock represents the pro forma amount of total tangible assets of the Company reduced by the pro forma amount of its total liabilities and divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, in each case giving effect to (i) the Minority Interest Conversions; (ii) the Good Samaritan Consolidation; (iii) the Completed Acquisitions; (iv) the recognition of the Special Compensation Charges; (v) the recording of a liability in the amount of $24.8 million in connection with the one-time mandatory preferential distribution with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock; (vi) the issuance of the Additional GTCR Shares; and (vii) the conversion of the Royal Care Note. After giving effect to (i) the sale of 5,357,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share; and (ii) the application of the estimated net proceeds of the Offering as described under "Use of Proceeds," the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996 would have been $27.3 million, or $2.34 per share.

Each of the Completed Acquisitions has been accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations of each such acquired company are included in the Company's results of operations from the date of acquisition. See the financial statements of the significant Completed Acquisitions appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. (b) The statement of operations data for the Good Samaritan Consolidation for the year ended December 31, 1995 represent the results of operations of Good Samaritan Supply for the year ended December 31, 1995, including the pro forma results of operations giving effect to acquisitions by Good Samaritan Supply completed in June 1996 and October 1996, as if the Company owned 50.1% of the outstanding common stock of Good Samaritan Supply on January 1, 1995 and had consolidated the results of operations of Good Samaritan Supply for the entire year. See the financial statements of Good Samaritan Supply appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. (c) The adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses consists of (1) an increase in amortization of excess of cost over net assets acquired of the Completed Acquisitions over a 40-year period, as if such companies were acquired on January 1, 1995 ($270,000), (2) reductions to historical amounts related to compensation, employee benefits and other owner/operator expenses for certain Completed Acquisitions that will not be incurred by the Company after the acquisitions were completed ($648,000), (3) the elimination of a management fee to an affiliate of the Company's principal stockholder ($50,000) and (4) an increase in amortization of goodwill initially recorded in connection with the Minority Interest Conversions ($113,000). (d) The adjustment to interest expense reflects (1) additional interest expense that would have been incurred had the consideration in the form of debt related to the Company's acquisitions been incurred on January 1, 1995 ($1,248,000), including the Bridge Loan, and (2) a reduction in interest expense for Good Samaritan Supply had the Company's initial investment in Good Samaritan Supply occurred on January 1, 1995 and had the proceeds from such investment been used by Good Samaritan Supply to reduce its outstanding debt ($133,000). The interest expense related to additional long-term debt incurred by the Company in connection with the acquisitions is based on an average interest rate of 9.00%, which approximates the borrowing rate in effect for the respective periods. (e) The adjustment to minority interests reflects (1) a reduction in minority interests related to the Minority Interest Conversions relating to the existing companies at January 1, 1995 and the Completed Acquisitions, as if such conversions had occurred on January 1, 1995 ($32,000), and (2) additional minority interests related to pro forma adjustments (c) and (d) and (f) ($2,000). (f) Certain of the companies included in the Completed Acquisitions were treated as S corporations for income tax purposes and, accordingly, did not record any federal or state income taxes. In addition, the historical results of operations for Royal Care, included as a Completed Acquisition, did not include an income tax provision because the company was in a net operating loss carryforward position. The adjustment to income tax provision reflects (1) an income tax provision as if the S corporations had been subject to federal and state income taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of 40% ($416,000), (2) an income tax benefit, using an estimated effective tax rate of 40%, on pro forma adjustments (c) and (d) above ($275,000), and (3) an adjustment to reflect an income tax benefit for the operating loss of Royal Care, at an estimated effective tax rate of 40% ($860,000). 22 (g) The adjustment to interest expense reflects the retirement of certain long-term debt of the Company by applying a portion of the estimated net proceeds of the Offering as more fully described in "Use of Proceeds," as if such transaction had occurred on January 1, 1995. (h) The adjustment to minority interests reflects additional minority interests related to the pro forma adjustment to interest expense for Good Samaritan Supply included in pro forma adjustment (g) above. (i) The adjustment to income tax provision reflects an estimated effective tax rate of 40% on pro forma adjustment (g) above. (j) Pro forma to give effect to (1) the issuance of the Additional GTCR Shares, (2) an additional 1,208,036 shares of Common Stock assumed to have been issued at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, the proceeds of which will fund a one-time mandatory preferential distribution (estimated to be approximately $16.9 million) to the Company's principal stockholder with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock (which stock will be converted into Common Stock contemporaneously with the Offering), (3) the issuance of 33,620 shares of Common Stock in connection with a Completed Acquisition and (4) the dilutive effect (349,036 shares) of Common Stock and options therefor issued to management and directors within the twelve-month period preceding the Company's initial public offering. See Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. (k) Shares used in the computation of pro forma net income per share, as adjusted, give effect to (1) the issuance of 794,581 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Minority Interest Conversions, (2) the issuance of 174,554 shares of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Royal Care Note, (3) the issuance and sale of the 5,357,000 shares of Common Stock (including the 1,208,036 shares assumed to have been issued to fund the preferential distribution) offered by the Company hereby, (4) the issuance of 565,625 Additional GTCR Shares and (5) the issuance of 33,620 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a Completed Acquisition. Common Stock sold to management and directors and stock options issued within the twelve-month period preceding the proposed filing date of the Company's public offering are included as if they were outstanding for the period presented. The dilutive effect (349,036 shares) of all such Common Stock sold to management and directors and options issued within the twelve-month period was calculated using the treasury stock method and an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share. 23 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) COMPLETED GOOD SAMARITAN PRO FORMA AMC ACQUISITIONS (A) CONSOLIDATION (B) ADJUSTMENTS PRO FORMA ------------ --------------- ----------------- ------------- ----------- Revenues................................... $ 32,357 $ 13,555 $ 13,842 $ -- $ 59,754 Cost of revenues........................... 23,259 9,096 11,885 -- 44,240 ------------ --------------- -------- ------------- ----------- Gross profit............................. 9,098 4,459 1,957 -- 15,514 Selling, general and administrative expenses.................................. 7,290 4,238 1,714 (185)(c) 13,057 ------------ --------------- -------- ------------- ----------- Operating income......................... 1,808 221 243 185 2,457 Interest expense........................... 1,213 329 238 280(d) 2,060 Other (income) expense.....................

(b) Reflects (i) the issuance of 794,581 shares of Common Stock with a value of $7.2 million as consideration for the minority interests in all of the Company's subsidiaries, except Good Samaritan Supply, resulting in an increase to goodwill of $4.5 million and a decrease to minority interests of $2.7 million, (ii) the issuance of options as part of the Minority Interest Conversions, resulting in a decrease to retained earnings of $86,000, (iii) the recognition of the Special Compensation Charges associated with the issuance of 310,208 shares of Common Stock to management and directors at a purchase price of $1.41 per share for cash of $44,000 and notes receivable of $394,000 (with the notes receivable being netted against common stock and paid-in-capital), resulting in an increase to cash ($44,000) and notes receivable ($394,000) and a reduction in retained earnings ($2.4 million), with a corresponding increase to common stock ($3,000) and paid-in capital ($2.8 million), (iv) the conversion of the $2.1 million Royal Care Note (including accrued interest) into 174,554 shares of Common Stock at $11.90 per share (85% of the assumed initial public offering price), resulting in an increase in common stock and paid-in-capital of $2.4 million and additional goodwill of $358,000, and (v) the recording of a liability in connection with the preferential distribution payable to the Company's principal stockholder with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock of $24.8 million, with a corresponding reduction of retained earnings ($2.3 million) and paid-in-capital ($22.5 million). (c) Reflects the issuance of the 565,625 Additional GTCR Shares (See "Company Background") and the issuance of 5,357,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share and the application of the net proceeds therefrom. The Additional GTCR Shares were accounted for as additional common stock and paid-in-capital of $7.9 million, with a corresponding reduction in retained earnings and common stock and additional paid-in-capital for the preferential distribution on the Class A Common Stock. The increase to stockholders' equity is comprised of the net proceeds from the Offering of $67,650,000 and the issuance of the 565,625 Additional GTCR Shares, which have a value of $7.9 million based on the assumed public offering price of $14.00 per share, reduced by the effect of the GTCR termination fee of $321,000 and the interest on the Bridge Loan of $100,000, less a tax benefit of $168,000 calculated using an effective tax rate of 40%. The application of the net proceeds from the Offering are estimated to be as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) Net proceeds from the Offering...................................................................... $ 67,650 Mandatory preferential distribution to the Company's principal stockholder..........................

OVERVIEW The Company commenced operations in August 1994 with its initial acquisition of a long-term care pharmacy provider. Since its inception, the Company has experienced substantial growth in revenues and operating profits primarily through the acquisition of 16 long-term care pharmacy companies and two prescription medical supply services companies. As of October 23, 1996, the Company served approximately 41,800 residents at over 540 facilities in nine states. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, approximately 69% of the Company's revenues were derived from pharmacy and consultant pharmacist services, 16% of revenues were derived from enteral and intravenous infusion therapy services and prescription medical supplies, 12% were derived from sales of non-prescription medical supplies and wholesale pharmaceuticals and 3% were derived from sales of other product and services. The Company's services (other than consultant pharmacist services) primarily consist of the dispensing of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical products. See "Business -- Services." The Company does not bill for such services separately from the sale of products. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes the Company presents on a combined basis revenues and costs of revenues from the sale of products and services. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, less than 1% of the Company's revenues were derived from consultant pharmacist services. The Company's total revenues have increased from $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $44.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and from $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This growth has been primarily achieved through acquisitions ($24.9 million of the increase for the twelve-month periods and $11.9 million of the increase for the six-month periods), as well as through internal growth ($4.1 million of the increase for the twelve-month periods and $3.8 million of the increase for the six-month periods). The Company defines "internal growth" to consist of increased market penetration in existing markets, fold-in acquisitions in established areas that are assimilated into existing operations, start-up facilities in new areas in states where the Company was already established, and sales of new products and services to existing customers. In 1994, the Company completed the acquisitions of Gatti LTC Services, Inc., based in Indiana, Pennsylvania (August 1994) (the Company's predecessor company), and Williamson Drug Company, Inc. ("WDC"), based in Harrisonburg, Virginia (August 1994). In 1995, the Company completed the acquisitions of Nihan & Martin, Inc. ("N&M"), based in Rockford, Illinois (March 1995); Dixon Pharmacy, Inc. ("Dixon"), based in Dixon, Illinois (April 1995); Extended Care Associates, Inc. ("ECA"), based in Lynchburg, Virginia (April 1995); Sterling Healthcare Services, Inc. ("SHS"), based in Shreveport, Louisiana (August 1995), as well as two other less significant acquisitions. In 1996, the Company completed the acquisitions of Pharmed, Inc. ("Pharmed"), based in Alexandria, Louisiana (May 1996); Royal Care of America, Inc. ("Royal Care"), based in Malta, New York (August 1996), as well as seven other less significant acquisitions. The recently-completed acquisition of Royal Care adds approximately 7,700 residents served in 155 facilities in upper New York State (excluding the New York City metropolitan area). Royal Care experienced significant operating losses in 1994 (approximately $1.3 million) and 1995 (approximately $1.6 million) and from September 1994 through June 1995 underwent a substantial restructuring and reorganization, whereby Royal Care hired a new chief executive officer and replaced a majority of its total staff. The Company believes that Royal Care has successfully emerged from its reorganization and will provide a profitable platform company for the New York State marketplace. The purchase agreements relating to the Company's acquisitions of WDC, ECA and Specialized Patient Care Services, Inc. entitle the sellers to receive additional contingent cash consideration based 31 primarily upon future earnings of such companies. The Company currently estimates that the maximum amount of such future contingent payments will not exceed $3.5 million through June 30, 2000. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company anticipates that such future contingent payments will be funded from cash flow to be generated from the Company's operations. The Company operates in an environment impacted by cost containment efforts as well as the consolidation of the long-term care industry. The Company has pursued an acquisition program designed to expand its presence in selected geographic markets. Several of the Company's acquisitions include businesses in geographic markets with a mix of products, services and profitability that differs in certain respects from the Company's existing operations. While the product and service mix and profitability of the Company's acquired businesses have varied from state to state, the Company expects that its results of operations will continue to be affected by the timing of acquisitions as well as the Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement rates in a given state. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, 42% of the Company's pharmacy revenues were paid by Medicare and Medicaid, 26% were paid by long-term care facilities, (a portion of which were, in turn, reimbursed by Medicare), 21% were paid in cash or charged to individuals and 11% were charged to third-party insurance plans or other commercial accounts. In April 1996, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply, principally a provider of pharmaceutical products and services and medical supplies to the long-term care market. For the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996, Good Samaritan Supply's revenues were $18.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Compared to AMC's base business, Good Samaritan Supply's mix of products and services includes a larger percentage of revenues derived from the sale of lower gross margin medical supplies. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, approximately 31% of Good Samaritan Supply's revenues were derived from the sale of pharmaceutical products and services and 69% were derived from the sale of medical supplies. As of October 23, 1996, Good Samaritan Supply's medical supply business served 207 of the Society's 236 long-term care facilities, and its pharmaceutical products and services business served approximately 2,400 patients in 20 of such facilities. Good Samaritan Supply has a corporate staff with operational, marketing and human resources capabilities, which the Company expects to be able to synergistically employ in its other operations. Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will increase its equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply to 50.1% and Good Samaritan Supply will become a consolidated operating subsidiary of the Company for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the consolidation of Good Samaritan Supply, the Company expects its overall gross and operating margins to be slightly lower on a comparative basis, primarily due to Good Samaritan Supply's larger concentration of lower margin medical supply revenues. In March 1996, the Company refinanced its senior credit facility in order to increase the availability of capital for acquisitions and operating needs from an aggregate of $33.0 million under its previous credit facility to an aggregate of $50.0 million under its new Credit Agreement. The Company also has the option to cause the agent-lenders under the Credit Agreement to seek additional lenders to increase borrowing availability under its Credit Agreement to $75.0 million. In August 1996, the Company received a $5.0 million bridge loan (the "Bridge Loan") from a commercial lending institution. The Bridge Loan matures on January 2, 1997, and repayment of the Bridge Loan is guaranteed by the GTCR Fund. Proceeds of the Bridge Loan were used to partially fund acquisitions that occurred in August and October 1996 and for general corporate purposes. See "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks Insider Participation -- Bridge Loan Guaranty." THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER 1996 CHARGES In September 1996 the Company issued an aggregate of 310,208 shares of Common Stock to certain directors and officers, and in November 1996 the Company accelerated the vesting of all such shares that were then unvested. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Director Stock Issuances" and "Certain Transactions -- Company Common Stock Issuances." In connection with these transactions, in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and 32 the quarter ending December 31, 1996, the Company will record additional non-cash, non-recurring compensation expense in the amount of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. In August 1996 in connection with the Minority Interest Conversions, the Company issued an aggregate of 794,581 shares of Common Stock to certain shareholders of its subsidiaries, and options to purchase shares of common stock in certain subsidiaries were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 146,635 shares of Common Stock. See "Company Background." As part of the Minority Interest Conversions, the Company has recorded additional goodwill in the amount of $4.5 million, which goodwill the Company expects to amortize ratably over a 40-year period. See Note 3 of Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will recognize no corresponding tax benefits from any of these charges. In addition, in connection with the issuance of the options to purchase an aggregate of 146,635 shares of Common Stock, the Company will record additional non-cash compensation expense in the amount of $86,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and an aggregate of $176,000 to be recognized over the seven-year vesting period of such options. In addition, the Company will record one-time, non-recurring charges in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1996 in the amount of approximately $287,500 ($173,000 net of tax) relating to the early termination in connection with the Offering of the professional services agreement with an affiliate of its principal stockholder and in the amount of approximately $245,000 ($135,000 net of tax) relating to special bonuses paid to members of management in connection with the Offering, including bonuses of $120,000, $58,000, $37,000 and $15,000 paid to Timothy L. Burfield (President and Chief Executive Officer), Charles R. Wallace (Vice President--Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), Michael B. Freedman (Vice President--Business Development) and J. Jeffrey Gephart (Vice President--National Sales), respectively. RECENT QUARTERLY RESULTS For the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company's revenues were $22.1 million, representing an increase of $9.2 million, or 71%, over revenues of $12.9 million for the corresponding period of 1995. The Company's gross profit for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $6.3 million, representing an increase of $2.7 million, or 76%, over gross profit of $3.6 million for the corresponding 1995 period. The Company had an operating loss for the 1996 period of $(396,000), compared to operating income in the amount of $743,000 for the corresponding 1995 period. The Company incurred a net loss of $(1.3) million for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to net income of $129,000 for the corresponding 1995 period. The results for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 reflect a nonrecurring, non-cash compensation charge in the amount of $1.3 million (with no income tax benefit) associated with the issuance in September 1996 of an aggregate of 310,208 shares of Common Stock to management and directors. Excluding this non-cash compensation charge, operating income and net income (loss) for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 would have been $896,000 and $(25,000), respectively. Earnings (loss) per share was $(0.01) (excluding the nonrecurring compensation charge) and $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company completed the acquisition of Royal Care of America, Inc. on August 5, 1996, as well as one other less significant acquisition in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The third quarter 1996 results include the post-acquisition results of operations of these acquired businesses. The foregoing financial information has been derived from the unaudited financial statements of the Company, which, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY PRIOR TO AUGUST 3, 1994) The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1994 include the results of operations of the Company from August 3, 1994 through December 31, 1994 and the results of 33 operations of the Company's predecessor company, Gatti LTC Services, Inc. ("GSI") as well as limited start-up expenses of the Company, in each case for the period July 1, 1994 through August 2, 1994 (the date of GSI's acquisition by the Company). Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increased to $27.3 million from $9.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994. Of this $18.0 million increase, $17.3 million was attributable to revenues related to the acquisitions of WDC in August 1994 and N&M, Dixon, ECA, SHS, and two other less significant acquisitions in 1995. Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 1995 was $7.8 million compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994, which represents an increase of $5.4 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 28.5% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 from 26.2% for the six months ended December 31, 1994. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of acquisitions of companies with higher gross margins and more favorable reimbursement rates in the states in which such companies operate. This effect was partially offset by the acquisition of certain retail pharmacy operations that typically operate at lower gross margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1995 were $6.3 million compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994, representing an increase of $4.1 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 22.9% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 from 23.7% for the six months ended December 31, 1994. The decrease in total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily related to operating leverage generated by the acquisitions, which resulted in a larger revenue base over which to spread corporate expenses. In addition, certain of the acquired businesses had a lower ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues than that of GSI. Operating income for the six months ended December 31, 1995 was $1.5 million compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994. The increase in operating income reflects the effect of increased revenues, achieved both through acquisitions and internal growth, as well as the improvement in the Company's gross profit margin and the selling, general and administrative expense to revenues ratio discussed above. Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 5.5% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 from 2.5% for the six months ended December 31, 1994. Interest expense of $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increased by $0.8 million over interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 1994, primarily as a result of higher debt levels related to the acquisitions made in the 1995 period. YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY) The results of operations for the year ended June 30, 1995 include the operating results of the Company from August 3, 1994 through June 30, 1995 as well as limited start-up expenses of the Company for the period July 1, 1994 through August 2, 1994. The year ended June 30, 1994 results represent the results of operations of the Company's predecessor company, GSI. Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1995 increased to $24.8 million from $10.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1994. Of this $14.2 million increase, $9.7 million was attributable to revenues related to the acquisitions of WDC in August 1994 and the acquisitions of N&M, Dixon, ECA, SHS, and two other less significant acquisitions made in the period ended June 30, 1995. Gross profit for the year ended June 30, 1995 was $6.9 million compared to $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1994, which represents an increase of $4.2 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 27.8% for the year ended June 30, 1995 from 27.0% for the year ended June 30, 1994. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of acquisitions of companies with higher gross margins and more favorable reimbursement rates in the states in which such companies operate. This effect was partially offset by the acquisition of certain retail pharmacy operations that typically operate at lower gross margins. 34 Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 1995 were $5.7 million compared to $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 1994, representing an increase of $3.8 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 22.8% for the year ended June 30, 1995 from 18.6% for the year ended June 30, 1994. The increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of increased amortization of goodwill ($187,000) associated with the acquired companies, as well as increased costs associated with the establishment of the Company's corporate office. Operating income for the year ended June 30, 1995 was $1.2 million compared to $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1994. The increase in operating income reflects the effect of increased revenues, achieved both through acquisitions and internal growth, as well as the improvement in the Company's gross profit margin, partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.0% for the year ended June 30, 1995 from 8.4% for the year ended June 30, 1994 as a result of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues discussed above, partially offset by the improved gross profit percentage discussed above. Interest expense of $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 1995 increased by $0.8 million over interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1994, primarily as a result of higher debt levels related to the acquisitions made during the year ended June 30, 1995. PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1994 TO AUGUST 2, 1994 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY) COMPARED TO PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1993 TO AUGUST 2, 1993 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY) The results of operations for both of the periods represent the results of operations of the Company's predecessor company, GSI. Revenues for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 increased to $6.9 million from $5.0 million for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993. The increase of $1.9 million was the result of growth in the number of customers served by GSI. Gross profit for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 was $2.0 million compared to $1.2 million for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993, which represents an increase of $0.8 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 28.2% for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 from 24.6% for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of a change in wholesale purchasing arrangements in late 1993 resulting in more favorable procurement costs, as well as an improvement in GSI's business conditions in 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 were $1.3 million compared to $0.9 million for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993, representing an increase of $0.4 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 19.0% for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 from 18.8% for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993. The increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily related to additional operating expenses incurred by GSI related to GSI's sale to the Company. Operating income for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 was $0.6 million compared to $0.3 million for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993. The increase in operating income reflected the effect of increased revenues, achieved through internal growth, as well as the improvement in GSI's gross profit margin, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 9.2% for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994 from 5.8% for the period from January 1, 1993 to August 2, 1993, as a result of the improvement in the gross margin percentage discussed above and the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues discussed above. Interest expense was $0.1 million for both periods. GSI maintained a consistent level of borrowing during the periods. 35 As the Company and its predecessor, GSI, which was acquired on August 2, 1994, have had various fiscal year-ends during the past three years the Company has reformatted the selected consolidated financial data of the Company and its predecessor to years ended December 31 in order to facilitate a better analytical review and to correspond to future reporting periods. See "Selected Consolidated Financial Information and Operating Data." The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain information derived from the Company's reformatted results of operations expressed as a percentage of revenues for such periods: PERCENTAGE OF REVENUES ----------------------------------------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, ------------------------------- -------------------- 1993 1994 1995 1995 1996 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Revenues............................................................. 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of revenues..................................................... 75.0 73.0 71.4 71.3 71.9 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Gross profit....................................................... 25.0 27.0 28.6 28.7 28.1 Selling, general and administrative expenses......................... 19.3 21.5 22.8 22.5 22.5 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Operating income................................................... 5.7 5.5 5.8 6.2 5.6 Interest expense..................................................... 1.8 2.5 4.0 4.2 3.7 Other (income) expense............................................... -- (0.5) (0.7) (0.6) (0.2) Minority interests................................................... -- -- 0.1 0.2 -- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Income before income taxes and extraordinary item.................. 3.8 3.5 2.4 2.4 2.1 Income tax provision................................................. 1.5 -- 1.5 1.7 1.0 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Income before extraordinary item................................... 2.3 3.5 0.9 0.7 1.1 Extraordinary item................................................... -- -- -- -- (1.4) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss).................................................. 2.3% 3.5% 0.9% 0.7% (0.3)% --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $32.4 million from $16.7 million for the comparable 1995 period. Of this $15.7 million increase, $11.9 million was due to acquisitions, and $3.8 million was due to internal growth. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $9.1 million compared to $4.8 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $4.3 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 28.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 28.7% for the comparable 1995 period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of Medicaid reimbursement adjustments in the latter half of 1995, which resulted in lower reimbursement rates for certain products, and certain pharmaceutical cost increases. The effect of these factors was partially offset by the acquisition of certain companies with higher margin products. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $7.3 million compared to $3.8 million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $3.5 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 22.5% for both the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars was primarily the result of increased amortization of goodwill ($165,000) and increased ongoing legal and accounting fees ($125,000) associated with the acquired companies, as well as the expansion of the corporate office staff in the latter half of 1995 to support the Company's growth. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $1.8 million compared to $1.0 million for the comparable 1995 period. The increase in operating income reflects the effects of increased revenues, achieved both through acquisitions and internal growth. Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 6.2% for the comparable 1995 period, due to the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues discussed above. 36 Interest expense of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $0.5 million over interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995, primarily as a result of higher debt levels related to acquisitions. In March 1996 the Company recorded an extraordinary item in the amount of $0.4 million (net of an income tax benefit of $0.4 million) reflecting the write-off of deferred financing charges in connection with the refinancing of the Company's credit facility. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY PRIOR TO AUGUST 3, 1994) The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 include the results of operations of the Company's predecessor company, Gatti LTC Services, Inc. ("GSI"), through August 2, 1994, its acquisition date by the Company, and the results of the Company from August 3, 1994 through December 31, 1994. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased to $44.0 million from $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Of this $29.0 million increase, $24.9 million was attributable to the acquisitions of WDC in August 1994 and N&M, Dixon, ECA, SHS and two other less significant acquisitions in 1995, and $4.1 million was attributable to internal growth. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $12.6 million compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, which represents an increase of $8.5 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 28.6% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 27.0% for the year ended December 31, 1994. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of acquisitions of companies with higher gross margins and more favorable reimbursement rates in the states in which such acquired companies operate. This effect was partially offset by the acquisition of certain retail pharmacy operations that typically operate at a lower gross margin. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $10.0 million compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, representing an increase of $6.8 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 22.8% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 21.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994. The increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of increased amortization of goodwill and increased ongoing professional fees associated with the acquired companies and expenses associated with the formation of the Company, including the hiring of management personnel and the establishment of the corporate office. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $2.6 million compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. The increase in operating income reflects the effect of increased revenues, achieved both through acquisitions and internal growth, as well as the improvement in the Company's gross profit margin. Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 5.8% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 5.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994. Interest expense of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $1.4 million over interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994, primarily as a result of higher debt levels related to acquisitions. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY PRIOR TO AUGUST 3, 1994) Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased to $15.0 million from $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. Of this $5.9 million increase, $1.7 million was due to the acquisition of WDC in August 1994 and $4.2 million was due to internal growth. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $4.1 million compared to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, which represents an increase of $1.8 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 27.0% for the year ended December 31, 1994 from 25.0% for the 37 year ended December 31, 1993. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of a change in wholesale purchasing in late 1993 resulting in more favorable procurement costs, as well as an overall improvement in the Company's business conditions in 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $3.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, representing an increase of $1.4 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 21.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994 from 19.3% for the year ended December 31, 1993. The increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of the acquisition of WDC, including the resulting increased amortization expense. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $0.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. The increase in operating income in absolute dollars reflects the effect of increased revenues, achieved both through the acquisition of WDC and internal growth. Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994 from 5.7% for the year ended December 31, 1993. Interest expense of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by $0.2 million over interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1993, primarily as a result of higher debt levels related to the acquisition of WDC. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal cash requirements to date have been to fund acquisitions, to provide working capital to support internal revenue growth and for capital expenditures. The Company's principal sources of cash have been capital provided by its principal stockholder ($22.5 million through October 15, 1996), proceeds of borrowings under its Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan and cash generated from operations. The Company plans to use approximately $16.9 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to make a mandatory distribution to its principal stockholder. The Company plans to use other net proceeds from the Offering to (i) make a $450,000 payment to GTCR IV, L.P. in payment of accrued management fees under a professional services agreement and in exchange for the termination of such agreement; (ii) make an additional investment in Good Samaritan Supply ($2.0 million), which will be used to repay a portion of Good Samaritan Supply's long-term debt; (iii) repay the Bridge Loan ($5.0 million), plus accrued interest thereon (approximately $100,000); and (iv) repay a portion of long-term debt, including the current portion (approximately $37.8 million), resulting in excess cash generated from the Offering of approximately $5.4 million. Net cash provided (used) by operating activities was $0.2 million, ($0.5) million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $0.5 million and ($0.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The net use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable related to internal sales growth and slower payments at certain of the Company's operating subsidiaries. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million, $12.4 million and $22.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $16.8 million and $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The majority of these expenditures were related to the acquisitions completed in the respective periods, including the acquisition of the predecessor company, along with capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased as a result of leasehold improvements at one location, and increases in equipment leased to customers and medication carts used in locations served. The Company's Credit Agreement provides for maximum borrowings in the aggregate of $50.0 million, consisting of a $10.0 million revolving line of credit, a $15.0 million revolving acquisition loan facility and a $25.0 million term loan. At the Company's option, the maximum borrowings 38 under the Credit Agreement can be increased by $25.0 million to $75.0 million, consisting of a $4.0 million maximum increase to the revolving line of credit and a $21.0 million maximum increase to the revolving acquisition loan facility. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are limited to specified percentages of eligible inventories and accounts receivable. At June 30, 1996 the Company had $4.6 million available under the revolving line of credit. At June 30, 1996, total borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $32.0 million. The revolving line of credit terminates on March 15, 2002, the revolving acquisition loan facility converts to a term loan on March 15, 1998 and thereafter matures on March 31, 2002 and the term loan matures on March 31, 2002. The Credit Agreement provides for interest to be paid on amounts outstanding at varying rates, depending on the applicable facility under the Credit Agreement and whether certain financial ratio tests are met. At June 30, 1996, the annual interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 10.0%, the annual interest rate on the acquisition loan facility was 8.5% and the annual interest rate on the term loan facility was 8.5%. The Credit Agreement also provides for a 0.5% annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit and acquisition loan facility ($18.0 million at June 30, 1996). Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of AMC Regional Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as by a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of AMC Regional Holdings, Inc. See Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. On June 21, 1996, Good Samaritan Supply entered into a credit agreement providing for maximum borrowings in the aggregate of $15.0 million, consisting of a $5.0 million revolving line of credit, a $5.0 million revolving acquisition loan facility and a $5.0 million term loan (the "Good Samaritan Supply Credit Agreement"). At June 30, 1996, total borrowings under the Good Samaritan Supply Credit Agreement were $5.0 million. The revolving line of credit terminates on June 21, 2001. The revolving acquisition loan facility converts to a term loan on the earlier of (i) June 21, 1998 and (ii) the date on which (x) Good Samaritan Supply has obtained term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million and (y) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the revolving acquisition loan facility is $5.0 million, and thereafter matures on June 21, 2001. The term loan matures on June 21, 2001. See Note 6 of Notes to the Financial Statements of Good Samaritan Supply included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Company's acquisition strategy will require significant capital resources and, as a result, the Company may need to incur additional indebtedness. To pursue its acquisition strategy, the Company also may need to issue, in public and private transactions, equity or debt securities, the terms of which will depend on market and other conditions. Capital is needed not only for acquisitions, but also for the effective integration, operation and expansion of existing businesses. The Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash generated from operations and funds available under the Credit Agreement, as well as funds available to Good Samaritan Supply under the Good Samaritan Supply Credit Agreement, will be adequate to support the foreseeable capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries through 1998, although a large acquisition or a number of smaller acquisitions may require funds in excess of such availability. PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED TO HISTORICAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS PRO FORMA SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO HISTORICAL SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996. Pro forma revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $59.8 million, compared to historical revenues during such period of $32.4 million. Six months ended June 30, 1996 pro forma revenues reflect the full period pro forma effects of (a) the Company's Completed Acquisitions made during 1996 to date, including the acquisitions of Pharmed (which contributed $2.3 million to pro forma revenues, of which $680,000 was included in the Company's historical results), Royal Care (which contributed $7.6 million to pro forma revenues, none of which was included in the Company's historical results) and seven other less significant acquisitions (which contributed in the aggregate $5.3 million to pro forma revenues, of which $923,000 was included in the Company's historical results) and (b) the Good Samaritan Consolidation (which contributed $13.8 million to pro forma revenues, none of which was included in the Company's historical results). Pro forma gross profit for 39 the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $15.5 million, compared to historical gross profit during the period of $9.1 million, and pro forma operating income for the period was $2.5 million, compared to historical operating income of $1.8 million. PRO FORMA YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO HISTORICAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995. Pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $109.9 million, compared to historical revenues during such period of $44.0 million. Year ended December 31, 1995 pro forma revenues reflect the full period pro forma effects of (a) the Company's Completed Acquisitions made during 1995, including the acquisitions of N&M (which contributed $12.3 million to 1995 pro forma revenues, of which $10.1 million was included in the Company's historical results), ECA (which contributed $2.4 million to 1995 pro forma revenues, of which $1.7 million was included in the Company's historical results), Johnson's (which contributed $2.2 million to 1995 pro forma revenues, of which $1.6 million was included in the Company's historical results), Dixon (which contributed $7.0 million to 1995 pro forma revenues, of which $4.8 million was included in historical results) and SHS (which contributed $8.0 million to 1995 pro forma revenues, of which $3.5 million was included in the Company's historical results); (b) the Company's Completed Acquisitions made during 1996 to date (including Pharmed (which contributed $3.9 million to 1995 pro forma revenues, none of which was included in the Company's historical results), Royal Care (which contributed $15.8 million to 1995 pro forma revenue, none of which was included in the Company's historical results) and seven other less significant acquisitions (which contributed in the aggregate $11.0 million to pro forma revenues, none of which was included in the Company's historical results); and (c) the Good Samaritan Consolidation (which contributed $25.3 million to pro forma revenues, none of which was included in the Company's historical results). Pro forma gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $30.0 million, compared to historical gross profit during the period of $12.6 million, and pro forma operating income for the period was $2.3 million, compared to historical operating income of $2.6 million. Pro forma operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 reflects the full period pro forma effects of a $1.6 million operating loss at Royal Care (which was acquired by the Company in August 1996). 40 BUSINESS GENERAL American Medserve Corporation ("AMC" or the "Company") is a leading independent provider of pharmacy services to long-term care institutions, including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and other long-term health care settings. The Company purchases, repackages and dispenses in patient-ready packaging pharmaceuticals to patients or residents in its client facilities and provides such facilities with related consultant pharmacist and information services, including formulary management, automated medical record-keeping, drug therapy evaluation and assistance with regulatory compliance. To complement its core pharmacy services, the Company also provides infusion therapy, specialized nutrition therapy, inhalation and respiratory therapy and wound care management services, as well as medical supplies and devices. As of October 23, 1996, AMC provided pharmacy services to approximately 41,800 residents at over 540 facilities located in Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Virginia. The Company was formed by Timothy L. Burfield (the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer) and an investment fund affiliated with Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner, Inc. to participate in the consolidation of the long-term care pharmacy industry. To meet this objective, the Company has pursued an acquisition program designed to expand its presence in selected geographic markets. Since commencing operations in August 1994, the Company has completed 18 acquisitions, including ten acquisitions in 1996. In April 1996, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply. The Company's co-investor in Good Samaritan Supply is The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation, an affiliate of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the "Society"). A 1995 industry survey ranked (by total licensed beds) the Society as the fifth largest, and largest non-profit, owner-operator of nursing homes in the United States. As of October 23, 1996, the Society operated 236 long-term care facilities in 26 states, of which 20 facilities were served by the Company's long-term care pharmacy operations. The Company believes that the Society's facilities that are not currently served by the Company's long-term care pharmacy operations represent a significant potential market for such operations. See "-- Good Samaritan Alliance." MARKET OVERVIEW LONG-TERM CARE INDUSTRY. The long-term care industry encompasses a variety of types of health care services that are provided primarily to the frail elderly in varying settings. Those who require 24-hour skilled medical supervision and are in need of specialized support, rehabilitative, nutritional, respiratory and other skilled treatments are typically cared for in a nursing facility, sometimes referred to as a skilled nursing facility. Assisted living facilities, which are an emerging segment of the long-term care industry, serve the rapidly growing elderly population who may require assistance with personal care (such as dressing and bathing), support services (such as housekeeping and laundry) and intermittent healthcare services (such as assistance with taking medications and health monitoring). Residents in assisted living facilities typically do not require continuous medical or skilled nursing care, but choose not to live at home. Accordingly, assisted living facility residents generally have lower acuity levels than patients in skilled nursing facilities. LONG-TERM CARE PHARMACY MARKET. Long-term care pharmacies purchase, repackage and dispense pharmaceuticals to patients and residents in long-term care facilities such as skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and other long-term health care settings. Unlike hospitals, most long-term care facilities do not have on-site pharmacies but depend instead on outside sources to provide the necessary products and services. Providers of pharmacy services to long-term care facilities typically receive a substantial portion of their payments through reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid programs, with the balance of payments being received from individual facility residents (private pay), non-government insurers and long-term care facilities. In response to a changing regulatory environment and other factors, including the increasing acuity levels of residents, the sophistication and breadth of services required by long-term care facilities have increased dramatically in recent years. Today, in addition to providing pharmaceuticals, long-term care pharmacies 41 provide consultant pharmacist services, which include monitoring the control, distribution and administration of pharmaceuticals within the long-term care facility and assisting facilities in complying with applicable regulations, as well as therapeutic monitoring and drug utilization review services. The Company believes that a long-term care facility patient is often under prescription for more than four different medications at a time, and, consequently, high quality, cost-efficient systems for dispensing and monitoring patient drug regimens are critical. Providing these services places the long-term care pharmacy in a central role of influencing the effectiveness and cost of care. The Company believes that the U.S. market for pharmacy services (including consulting services and related supplies) in long-term care facilities is growing due primarily to four factors: AGING POPULATION. The number of long-term care facility residents is rising as a result of the aging of the U.S. population. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the number of persons over age 75 increased by approximately 31% from 1980 to 1990. In 1990, 6.1% of the population ages 75 to 84 and 24.5% of the population ages 85 or older received care in long-term care facilities. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the segment of the population over age 85, which comprises the largest percentage of residents at long-term care facilities, is the fastest growing segment of the population and is expected to increase by approximately 43% from 1990 to 2000. INCREASING ACUITY OF PATIENTS. The Company believes that the second factor creating growth in the long-term care pharmacy market is the increasing acuity level of long-term care facility residents as a result of payors' efforts to have care delivered in the lowest cost setting. This has encouraged shorter lengths of stay in acute care hospitals in favor of less costly long-term care facilities. EMERGENCE OF ALTERNATIVE LONG-TERM CARE SETTINGS. As the number of patients being "pushed down" from acute care hospitals to skilled nursing facilities increases, the demand for residential options such as assisted living facilities is also expected to increase. Many states have put in place moratoriums or other restrictions on the growth of skilled nursing beds. However, alternative care settings, such as assisted living facilities, are not generally impacted by such restrictions and have been characterized by significant growth. While the typical assisted living resident is less medically needy than a skilled nursing or subacute resident, the assisted living resident generally requires similar long-term care pharmacy services. ADVANCES IN DRUG RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The Company believes that the long-term care pharmacy market is also growing as a result of advances in drug research and development, which have resulted in the availability and use of new drug therapy regimens. More complicated and aggressive drug therapies, such as intravenously-administered antibiotics, are now frequently administered in long-term care settings. TRENDS AFFECTING THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE LONG-TERM CARE PHARMACY MARKET. The Company believes that there are significant consolidation opportunities in the long-term care pharmacy market. Prior to the 1970's, the pharmacy needs of most long-term care facilities were generally fulfilled by retail pharmacies. Since then, the pharmacy and related consultant and information needs of long-term care facilities have grown substantially as regulatory requirements and the reimbursement environment have become more complex. The Company believes that long-term care pharmacy companies, both independent and captive (those owned by, or affiliated with, long-term care providers), have been, and continue to be, better positioned to meet these changing market demands. As a result, over the past 25 years the proportion of the long-term care pharmacy market served by retail pharmacies has steadily declined to approximately 40%, and long-term care pharmacies have become the more prevalent providers of pharmacy services to this market. 42 The long-term care pharmacy market remains highly fragmented. The Company believes that a growing number of smaller pharmacies are being acquired by larger, long-term care pharmacies and that there are several factors driving the consolidation, including the following: SCALE ADVANTAGES. Larger pharmacies are able to (i) realize advantages associated with size, including purchasing power, service breadth, more sophisticated sales and marketing programs and formulary management capabilities, (ii) achieve efficiencies in administrative functions and (iii) access the capital resources necessary to support growth. ABILITY TO SERVE MULTI-SITE CUSTOMERS IN A CHANGING MARKET. The long-term care market is undergoing change as health care reform proposals are considered, cost-containment initiatives are implemented, managed care organizations and other payors seek regional coverage and consolidation takes place. As a result of their ability to capitalize upon the opportunities created by these changes, as well as their ability to serve long-term care customers with several physical locations, larger pharmacies possess a significant competitive advantage over their smaller counterparts. The Company believes that there are also significant opportunities for full-service, long-term care pharmacies with a comprehensive range of services and regional coverage to provide a spectrum of health care products and services to managed care organizations and other payors. REGULATORY EXPERTISE AND SYSTEMS CAPABILITIES. Long-term care facilities are demanding more sophisticated and specialized services from pharmacy providers due, in part, to the implementation in 1990 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 ("OBRA"). The OBRA regulations, which were designed to upgrade and standardize care in nursing facilities, mandated strict new standards relating to planning, monitoring and reporting on the progress of patient care to include, among other things, prescription drug therapy. As a result, long-term care administrators increasingly seek experienced pharmacists and specialized providers with computerized information and documentation systems designed to monitor patient care and control costs incurred by the facilities and payors. BUSINESS STRATEGY The Company seeks to capitalize on the favorable industry trends described above and continue to expand its position as a leading independent provider of pharmacy services to long-term care facilities. The Company believes it has significant opportunities to achieve this objective through the implementation of its business strategy, the principal components of which include the following: ACQUISITIONS. The Company seeks to continue its acquisition program to capitalize on consolidation opportunities in the long-term care pharmacy market. Since commencing operations in August 1994 with its initial acquisition of a long-term care pharmacy provider, the Company has completed 18 acquisitions, including ten acquisitions in 1996. The Company's acquisition program focuses on acquisition candidates that have experienced and highly competent local management teams and demonstrated capacities for growth. The key principle of the Company's acquisition program is the retention of senior local management at its acquired businesses. The Company believes that the experienced local management teams in its acquired businesses have a valuable understanding of their respective markets and businesses and have strong customer relationships upon which the Company may capitalize. Seeking to align the interests of management with those of the Company, the Company encourages management of the acquired companies to maintain an equity interest in the Company. Upon completion of the Offering, management of the Company's operating subsidiaries will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 8.0% of the fully-diluted common equity of the Company (assuming exercise of all outstanding stock options held by management of the operating subsidiaries). The Company utilizes a three-tiered acquisition program focused on acquiring businesses in targeted states, or markets within states, that are characterized by substantial growth opportunities and an acceptable reimbursement climate (I.E., states in which the Medicaid and other insurance reimbursement rates allow a pharmacy to achieve a pre-tax profit margin of at least 8-10%). The Company seeks to enter targeted states with "platform" acquisitions of long-term 43 care pharmacy providers with strong or leading market positions. The Company then looks to expand its presence in established, contiguous, regions within a targeted state by making "add-on" acquisitions as well as acquiring "fold-in" businesses that can be easily assimilated into the Company's existing operations. See "-- Acquisition Program." INTERNAL GROWTH. The Company focuses on promoting internal growth by expanding the breadth of the Company's services and by increasing its marketing emphasis on newly-introduced products and services. The Company believes that the rising acuity levels within the patient population of long-term care facilities will continue to create increased demand for pharmacy products and services by residents of such facilities. To complement its core pharmacy services, the Company provides an array of health care services, such as infusion therapy (I.E., intravenous introduction of fluids containing medications and/or nutrients), specialized nutritional therapy (I.E., introduction, either intravenously or directly into a patient's digestive system, of nutrient fluids or other fluids), inhalation and respiratory therapy and wound care management services, as well as prescription medical supplies and devices. The Company also employs formulary management techniques (I.E., techniques to manage the dispensing of pharmaceuticals to minimize cost and maximize therapeutic benefits) designed to assist physicians in making the best clinical choice of drug therapy for patients at the lowest cost. In addition, the Company also seeks to generate internal growth by establishing start-up pharmacy operations in strategic geographic areas where there are no suitable acquisition candidates. ENHANCED OPERATING LEVERAGE. The Company seeks to achieve operating leverage through, among other things, the consolidation and coordination of purchasing, administrative and financial reporting functions. In June 1996, the Company entered into agreements with Managed Health Care Associates, Inc. ("MHA"), a pharmaceutical group purchasing organization, and with McKesson Health Systems ("McKesson"), one of the largest wholesale pharmaceutical distributors in the United States, to consolidate its drug purchasing activities. The Company intends to capitalize on the economies of scale in drug purchasing afforded by the MHA and McKesson agreements and to apply such cost saving opportunities to future acquisitions. In addition, the Company will benefit from access to drug utilization information, inventory control and contract compliance software offered through the Company's agreements with McKesson and MHA. The Company also believes that significant cost saving opportunities exist in the consolidation of operating functions such as payroll, audit and insurance. The Company also intends to continue to develop and upgrade its centralized financial reporting systems. The Company believes that enhancement of its financial reporting systems will better enable it to analyze operating data on a site-by-site, as well as system-wide, basis, enabling it to improve its budgeting capabilities and more keenly focus its future operating strategies. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES. The Company believes significant growth opportunities exist through the formation of strategic alliances with long-term care facility operators and other health care industry participants. The Company believes such alliances, which may take the form of joint ownership, shared services agreements, co-marketing arrangements, joint development agreements and/or other collaborative business arrangements, afford it the opportunity to expand its product and service offerings and to lower the cost of care, thereby broadening the Company's appeal to managed care payors. As part of this strategy, in April 1996 the Company acquired a 40% interest in Good Samaritan Supply. The Company's co-investor in Good Samaritan Supply is The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation, an affiliate of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. See "-- Good Samaritan Alliance." ACQUISITION PROGRAM The Company has become a leading independent provider of pharmacy services to long-term care institutions through an acquisition program designed to capitalize on the consolidation opportunities in the long-term care pharmacy market. Since commencing operations in August 1994 with its initial acquisition of a long-term care pharmacy provider, the Company has completed 18 acquisitions, including ten acquisitions in 1996. The Company believes that through the successful integration of 44 acquired businesses it can continue to grow through geographic expansion and by providing a broader array of pharmacy products and ancillary services to its client facilities in a cost-effective manner. In addition, successful acquisitions can result in efficiencies in marketing, information systems and administrative functions, and can significantly increase purchasing leverage, all of which can improve the operational results of acquired businesses while increasing the Company's growth rate. The Company's acquisition program identifies states (or markets within states) characterized by substantial growth opportunities and an acceptable reimbursement climate. Within markets that are so identified, the Company targets acquisition candidates with highly competent management and a demonstrated capacity for growth. The Company believes that a large part of its success to date in integrating acquired businesses is due to its acquisition model, which encourages local management to continue to retain primary operating responsibility for the profitability and growth of the acquired business. Seeking to align the interests of local management with those of the Company, the Company encourages management of its acquired businesses to maintain an equity interest in the Company. Upon consummation of the Offering, management of the Company's operating subsidiaries will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 8.0% of the fully-diluted common equity of the Company (assuming exercise of all outstanding stock options held by management of the operating subsidiaries). This aspect of the Company's acquisition program, along with the benefits of being affiliated with a larger organization, has enhanced the Company's ability to consummate and integrate new acquisitions. In addition, the retention of local management enables the Company to capitalize on management's keen understanding of their respective markets, as well as their strong customer relationships. The Company employs a three-tiered acquisition program for long-term care pharmacy providers, which focuses on businesses that can be characterized as "platform," "add-on" and "fold-in" acquisition candidates. PLATFORM ACQUISITIONS: The Company seeks to enter selected states with "platform" acquisitions of long-term care pharmacy providers with strong market positions. In analyzing platform acquisition candidates, the Company focuses on acquiring businesses that have developed strong customer relationships and that have experienced and highly competent management, effective operating systems and a broad array of services. Platform acquisitions benefit from the Company's operational and financial strengths and the Company benefits from the platform acquisition's regional presence and active involvement in the local community. In addition, these platform acquisitions typically have the infrastructure in place to allow the Company to build regional concentration through the acquisition of smaller long-term care pharmacy businesses in established or new regions. ADD-ON ACQUISITIONS: The second tier of the Company's acquisition program involves the acquisition of "add-on" long-term care pharmacy companies that expand the Company's presence in a particular state, thereby enabling the Company to achieve the critical mass required to service clients, including multi-facility clients, in a cost-effective manner throughout the selected state. In making such add-on acquisitions, the Company assesses the services required by the specific state's customer base and then seeks to acquire leading providers of such services within that state. As with platform acquisitions, the Company seeks businesses with strong management teams and demonstrated capacities for growth. FOLD-IN ACQUISITIONS: In order to increase its market share and realize economies of scale, the Company seeks to acquire smaller "fold-in" businesses that can be easily assimilated into the Company's existing operations, including acquisitions of the long-term care pharmacy businesses of retail pharmacies. Such fold-in businesses are intended to enable the Company to benefit from the operating leverage of its existing businesses by acquiring additional market share and revenues while eliminating or reducing certain general, administrative and operating costs previously associated with such revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, approximately 83% of the Company's revenues were from platform acquisitions, 16% were from add-on acquisitions and 1% were from fold-in acquisitions. 45 The following table summarizes by service area each of the Company's completed acquisitions of long-term care pharmacies to date: YEAR ACQUIRED COMPANY GEOGRAPHIC TYPE OF COMMENCED SERVICE AREA WHEN ACQUIRED NAME OF ACQUISITION ACQUISITION OPERATIONS - ---------------- -------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----------- ------------- Pennsylvania August 1994 Gatti LTC Services, Inc.

Platform 1992 Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota New York August 1996 Royal Care of America, Inc. Platform 1972 October 1996 Okie's Pharmacy Fold-in 1976 In addition to pursuing rapid growth through acquisitions of long-term care pharmacies, the Company has expanded, and expects to continue to expand, the range of products and services that it offers through the acquisition of businesses that provide ancillary services complementary to the Company's core pharmacy services and products. In June 1995 the Company acquired Gatti Medical Supply, Inc., based in Indiana, Pennsylvania and in August 1996 the Company acquired Specialized Patient Care Services, Inc., based in Mobile, Alabama, each of which provides prescription medical supply services to long-term care patients. As consideration for future acquisitions, the Company intends to use various combinations of Common Stock, cash and debt securities. The Company also intends to continue to be competitive and to acquire operations that are priced appropriately and meet strategic objectives. The Company typically values candidates based on number of beds served, business mix, quality of management and the target's suitability as a platform, add-on or fold-in acquisition. GOOD SAMARITAN ALLIANCE In April 1996 the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply (which interest will increase to 50.1%, upon exercise by the Company of an option to acquire an additional equity interest from Good Samaritan Supply upon consummation of the Offering), in which its co-investor is The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation. See "Company Background." The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation is an affiliate of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the "Society"). A 1995 industry survey ranked (by total licensed beds) the Society as the fifth largest, and largest non-profit, owner-operator of nursing homes in the United States, operating 236 long-term care facilities in 26 states as of October 23, 1996. At October 23, 1996, the 46 Society served over 27,000 beds, consisting of approximately 9,500 assisted living facility beds and approximately 17,500 skilled nursing facility beds. Of these over 27,000 beds, the Company's long-term care pharmacy operations served approximately 2,400 beds at October 23, 1996. Good Samaritan Supply was formed by The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation in 1992 to provide pharmaceutical products and services and medical supplies primarily to facilities affiliated with the Society and, secondarily, to the long-term market generally. Good Samaritan Supply acquired Capitol Drug Company, Inc., its initial long-term care pharmacy, in June 1994 to serve the Minneapolis metropolitan market; Professional Pharmacy Services, Inc. in February 1996 located in Loveland, Colorado; Unidose LTC Pharmacy, Inc. in June 1996, serving Nebraska from its locations in Omaha and Lincoln; and Unomed, Inc. in October 1996, based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. For the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996, Good Samaritan Supply's revenues were $18.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, approximately 31% of Good Samaritan Supply's revenues were derived from the sale of pharmaceutical products and services and 69% were derived from the sale of medical supplies. The Company's investment in Good Samaritan Supply expands the Company's product and service offerings and provides the Company with an opportunity to expand its long-term care pharmacy services in the twelve states in which the Society's operations are currently concentrated. In addition, under the terms of the Company's agreement with Good Samaritan Supply, the Company will assist Good Samaritan Supply in the marketing of Good Samaritan Supply's home medical equipment and supplies to the customers of the Company's current and future long-term care pharmacies. See "Certain Transactions -- Good Samaritan Relationship." SERVICES The Company purchases, repackages and dispenses in patient-ready packaging pharmaceuticals to patients or residents in its client facilities and provides such facilities with related consultant pharmacist and information services, including formulary management, automated medical record-keeping, drug therapy evaluation and regulatory assistance. To complement its core pharmacy services, the Company provides an array of health care services, such as infusion therapy, specialized nutritional therapy, inhalation and respiratory therapy and wound care management services, as well as prescription medical supplies and devices. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, approximately 69% of the Company's revenues were derived from pharmacy and consultant pharmacist services, 16% of revenues were derived from enteral and intravenous infusion therapy services and other prescription medical supplies, 12% were derived from sales of non-prescription medical supplies and wholesale pharmaceuticals and 3% were derived from sales of other products and services. PHARMACY SERVICES. The Company's core business is providing pharmaceutical dispensing services to residents of long-term care facilities. The Company purchases, repackages and dispenses in patient-ready packaging prescription pharmaceuticals in accordance with physician orders and delivers such prescriptions at least daily to long-term care facilities for administration to residents by the nursing staffs of these facilities. The Company provides 24 hour coverage 365 days per year from 32 sites in eight states. In addition, the Company, through its operating subsidiaries in Illinois and Pennsylvania, offers retail pharmacy services. Upon receipt of a doctor's order, the information is entered into one of the Company's management information systems, which automatically reviews the order for patient-specific allergies and potentially adverse interactions with other medications the patient is receiving. Following this analysis, a report on each order is produced for review by a Company pharmacist, who performs a prospective drug utilization analysis of the order and, if appropriate, substitutes generic drugs approved for equivalence by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). In addition, subject to the prescribing physician's approval, the pharmacist may make generic or therapeutic substitutions based on the Company's formulary guidelines. 47 The Company provides pharmaceuticals to its clients through a patient-ready unit dose distribution system. The Company divides the pharmaceuticals received in bulk form from its suppliers into patient-ready unit dose packages. The patient-ready, unit dose format is designed to reduce errors, encourage compliance by patients, increase convenience for nursing staffs, improve control over the distribution of pharmaceuticals and save nursing administration time relative to the bulk systems traditionally used by retail pharmacies. As an additional service, the Company furnishes its clients with information captured by its computerized medical records and documentation system. This system captures patient care information which is used to create monthly management and quality assurance reports. The Company believes that this system of information management, combined with the unit dose delivery system, improves the efficiency and controls in nursing administration and reduces the likelihood of drug-related adverse consequences. CONSULTANT PHARMACIST SERVICES. Federal and state regulations mandate that long-term care facilities improve the quality of patient care by offering consultant pharmacist services to monitor and report on prescription drug therapy. The OBRA legislation implemented in 1990 seeks to further upgrade and standardize health care by setting forth more stringent standards relating to planning, monitoring and reporting on the progress of prescription drug therapy as well as facility-wide drug usage. Noncompliance with these regulations may result in monetary sanctions as well as the potential loss of the facility's ability to participate in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs. The Company provides consultant pharmacist services that help clients comply with federal and state regulations applicable to long-term care facilities. The Company's services include (i) reviewing each patient's drug regimen to assess the appropriateness and efficacy of drug therapies, including a review of the patient's medical records, monitoring drug reactions to other drugs or food and monitoring lab results; (ii) participating on the Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Quality Assurance and other committees of the Company's clients; (iii) inspecting medication carts and storage rooms each month; (iv) monitoring and reporting monthly on facility-wide drug usage and drug administration systems and practices; (v) developing and maintaining pharmaceutical policy and procedure manuals; and (vi) assisting the long-term care facility in complying with state and federal regulations as they pertain to patient care. The Company, through certain of its operating subsidiaries, also offers on a limited basis a specialized line of consulting services that help long-term care facilities enhance care and reduce and contain costs as well as comply with state and federal regulations. Under this service line, the Company provides (i) data required for OBRA and other regulatory purposes, including reports on psychotropic drug usage (chemical restraints), antibiotic usage (infection control) and other drug usage; (ii) plan of care programs which assess each patient's state of health upon admission and monitor progress and outcomes using data on drug usage as well as dietary, physical therapy and social service inputs; (iii) counseling related to appropriate drug usage and implementation of drug protocols; (iv) on-site educational seminars for the long-term care facilities' staff on topics such as drug information relating to clinical indications, adverse drug reactions, drug protocols and special geriatric considerations in drug therapy, information and training on intravenous drug therapy and updates on OBRA and other regulatory compliance issues; and (v) nurse consultant services and consulting for dietary, social services and medical records. THERAPY SERVICES. The Company also provides its client facilities with infusion therapy services, inhalation and respiratory therapy services and wound care management supplies and services. Infusion therapy is the intravenous delivery of medication or introduction of parenteral and enteral nutritional formulas. The Company's infusion therapy services include pain management, antibiotic therapy services, chemotherapy and parenteral and enteral nutritional therapy services for long-term care residents and home care patients. The Company prepares the product to be administered and delivers the product to the long-term care facility for administration by the nursing staff. Because the 48 proper administration of infusion therapy services requires a highly trained nursing staff, the Company provides education and certification programs to its clients in order to assure proper staff training and compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company believes that by enhancing the ability of client facilities to administer infusion therapy services, these programs have led to a greater use of infusion therapy services throughout the Company's long-term care facility customer base. OTHER. The Company also offers non-prescription medical devices and equipment and, primarily through Good Samaritan Supply, long-term care facility medical supplies, prescription medical supplies and home care medical supplies. FORMULARY MANAGEMENT The Company recently began employing formulary management techniques that are tailored to the needs of each of the markets in which it operates. These techniques are designed to assist physicians in making the best choice of drug therapy for patients at the lowest cost. Under the Company's various formulary programs, AMC clinical and dispensing pharmacists assist prescribing physicians in designating the use of particular drugs from among therapeutic alternatives (including generic substitutions) and in the use of more cost-effective delivery systems and dose forms. The formulary takes into account such factors as pharmacology, safety and toxicity, efficacy, drug administration, quality of life and other considerations specific to the elderly population of long-term care facilities. The Company's formulary guidelines also provide relative pharmaceutical cost information to residents, their insurers or other payors. Successful implementation of formulary guidelines is dependent upon close interaction between the clinical and dispensing pharmacists and the prescribing physician. The Company seeks to attract and retain highly trained clinical and dispensing pharmacists and encourages their active participation in the caring for residents of long-term care facilities, including consultation with the facilities' medical staff and other prescribing physicians, to increase the likelihood that the most efficacious, safe and cost-effective drug therapy is prescribed. The Company believes that adherence to its formulary guidelines improves drug therapy results, lowers costs for residents and strengthens the Company's purchasing power with pharmaceutical manufacturers. SALES AND MARKETING The Company's marketing efforts are directed towards long-term care facilities, third-party payors, physicians, nurses and patients. Because customer relationships are such a strong factor in the long-term care pharmacy industry, AMC's marketing activities are primarily the responsibility of local management and are coordinated and supplemented by the Company's Vice President-National Sales. The Company's consultant pharmacists, dispensing pharmacists and nursing consultants, because of their direct and ongoing personal contact with client facility staff, physicians and patients, also play a significant role in developing new business and maintaining relationships with existing clients. The Company's Vice President-National Sales coordinates marketing efforts to nursing home chains, multi-state customers and potential customers in states in which the Company has no presence. The Vice President-National Sales also works with local management on cross-marketing services and broadening their product offerings to existing clients. The Company also markets its products and services by encouraging its professionals to build and maintain high visibility in the long-term care pharmacy industry. The Company participates in trade associations, industry trade shows and "in-house" seminars on specialized topics in its regional services areas. The Company believes that these seminars enhance its professional image and credibility, and accordingly, serve as an indirect source of additional business. In marketing its services and products, the Company also emphasizes its ability to control the pharmacy costs related to patient care, which allows it to tailor the services and products it provides to the needs of particular clients. The Company also seeks to serve its customers most effectively through a willingness to utilize creative contracting arrangements, such as alternative billing and risk-sharing arrangements. 49 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS The Company licenses its various pharmacy, financial and information management systems from third parties. The Company believes that it is more cost-effective to outsource its information management system requirements to qualified third parties than to develop such systems internally as many of the Company's competitors do. Due in part to differences in state licensing and reporting requirements, each of the Company's operating subsidiaries licenses its own information system that provides detailed information to clients and third-party payors while providing the Company's pharmacists with computerized access to medication and treatment records for long-term care facility residents as well as data regarding drug interactions and contraindications, patient medication profiles and information on patient allergies. Under the Company's agreements with MHA and McKesson, the Company licenses information systems that allow it to manage its pharmaceutical purchasing by taking advantage of purchasing opportunities, controlling inventory and gaining access to utilization information. These systems operate at the dispensing pharmacy level, but are interconnected at both the regional and corporate-wide level. For example, under the McKesson agreement, each of the Company's dispensing pharmacies and each regional office as well as the Company's corporate headquarters are supplied with McKesson's EconoLink-TM- system. EconoLink-TM- is a purchasing and inventory management system, which is capable of consolidated reporting, opening order management, contract development and tracking product movement by location. The EconoLink-TM- system allows the Company and/or its dispensing pharmacies to generate formulary compliance reports; to confirm orders on-line within five minutes of their transmission; to generate standard usage reports, monthly purchase reports, inventory value reports and other customized reports; to view a database of all products available at the servicing distribution center of the supplier and to search for items by generic name, therapeutic name, trade name, UPC number, McKesson item number or customer product identification number. In addition, the system provides a warning when a non-contract product is ordered or when a better priced equivalent is available. Under the Company's agreement with MHA, MHA supplies the Company with software and training to enable the Company's employees to use MHA's systems, including AccuLink-TM-, AccuChoice-TM- and MHAx Electronic Catalogue-TM- Software. These systems are used to improve the Company's purchasing effectiveness, contract compliance and inventory control. The AccuLink-TM- system also allows MHA to review the Company's invoices from its wholesaler for pricing discrepancies and credits due to the Company. The Company's licensed financial management and reporting system, which it continually seeks to upgrade, allows for analysis of operating data on a site-by-site, as well as system-wide, basis, enabling the Company to improve its budgeting capabilities and more keenly focus its future operating strategies. PURCHASING The Company purchases pharmaceuticals primarily from McKesson, a national wholesale distributor, with which it has negotiated a prime vendor contract, and directly from certain pharmaceutical manufacturers. Under the Company's agreement with McKesson the Company is supplied with Telxon-TM- order entry devices and bar-coded shelf labels. Using the Telxon-TM- device to read the bar- coded shelf labels allows the Company to transmit orders to McKesson electronically. Such electronic transmission allows orders to be placed and filled efficiently and accurately, and allows the Company and each of the dispensing pharmacies to track and control inventory in an efficient manner. The Company is also a member of MHA, which is a pharmaceutical group purchasing organization, as well as other industry buying groups that contract with manufacturers for volume-based discounted prices that are passed through to the Company by its wholesale distributor. The Company's agreement with MHA provides that MHA will negotiate special pricing discounts and rebates with various pharmaceutical suppliers and implement contract purchasing compliance programs, will 50 institute a "preferred rebate" processing program in cooperation with certain wholesale distributors and manufacturers and will provide the Company with formulary information. The Company has numerous sources of supply available to it and has not experienced any difficulty in obtaining pharmaceuticals or other products and supplies used in the conduct of its business. CUSTOMERS At October 23, 1996, the Company had contracts to provide services to approximately 41,800 residents in over 540 long-term care facilities. These contracts, as is typical in the industry, are generally for a period of one year but are terminable by either party for any reason upon thirty days' written notice. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, on a pro forma basis, no single customer or customer group (other than facilities operated by the Society, which in the aggregate accounted for approximately 10%), accounted for more than 5% of the Company's total revenues. Nevertheless, the loss by the Company of a significant customer in a particular market might have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. COMPETITION The business of providing pharmacy services to long-term care facilities is highly competitive. On the national level and with respect to its program of acquiring long-term care pharmacy providers, the Company's principal competitors include Omnicare, Inc., NCS HealthCare, Inc., Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc. and "captive" long-term care pharmacy companies such as Vitalink Pharmacy Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Manor Care, Inc.) and Pharmacy Corporation of America (a subsidiary of Beverly Enterprises, Inc.), as well as several other companies with similar acquisition strategies, many of which may have greater resources than those of the Company. Regionally, the Company believes that competition within a particular market is based principally on customer relationships, operations, marketing abilities, professional support and customer service. REIMBURSEMENT AND BILLING As is generally the case for long-term care facility services, the Company receives payments through reimbursement from Medicaid and Medicare programs and directly from individual residents (private pay), private third-party insurers and long-term care facilities. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis, the Company's payor mix was approximately 32% Medicaid, 10% Medicare, 26% long-term care facilities (including amounts for which the long-term care facility receives reimbursement under Medicare Part A), 21% private pay, 9% third-party insurance and 2% commercial accounts. Medicare and Medicaid are highly regulated. The failure of the Company and/or its client institutions to comply with applicable reimbursement regulations could adversely affect the Company's business. MEDICAID. The Medicaid program is a federal-state cooperative program designed to enable states to provide medical assistance to aged, blind or disabled individuals, or to members of families with dependent children whose income and resources are insufficient to meet the costs of necessary medical services. State participation in the Medicaid program is voluntary. To become eligible to receive federal funds, a state must submit a Medicaid "state plan" to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for approval. The federal Medicaid statute specifies a variety of requirements which the state plan must meet, including requirements relating to eligibility, coverage of services, payment and administration. For residents eligible for Medicaid, the Company bills the individual state Medicaid program. Medicaid programs are funded jointly by the federal government and individual states and are administered by the states. The reimbursement rates for pharmacy services under Medicaid are determined on a state-by-state basis subject to review by the Health Care Financing Administration and applicable federal law. Federal regulations and the regulations of many states establish "upper limits" for reimbursement for prescription pharmaceuticals under Medicaid. In most states pharmacy services are priced at the lower of "usual and customary" charges, cost (which generally is defined as a function of average wholesale price less a discount) plus a dispensing fee or the pre- 51 established upper limits. In some states, such as New York, Medicaid reimbursement for pharmacy products and services is paid to the nursing facility operator as part of its comprehensive per diem rates. The nursing facility operator, in turn, is responsible for paying the pharmacy provider. State Medicaid programs generally have long-established programs for reimbursement which have been revised and refined over time. To date, such programs have determined the pricing policies and receivables collection for long-term care pharmacy providers. Any future changes in such reimbursement programs or in regulations relating thereto, such as reductions in the allowable reimbursement levels or the timing of processing of payments, could adversely affect the Company's business. The U.S. Congress passed a fiscal year 1996 budget reconciliation bill that provided for substantial reductions in the rate of spending increases in the Medicare program and in the federal share of the Medicaid program. While such bill was vetoed by President Clinton, such provisions or any similar provisions, if ultimately signed into law, could adversely affect the Company's business. MEDICARE. The Medicare program is a federally funded and administered health insurance program for individuals age 65 and over and for certain individuals who are disabled. The Medicare program consists of two parts: Part A, which covers, among other things, inpatient hospital, skilled long-term care facility, home health care and certain other types of health care services; and Medicare Part B, which covers physicians' services, outpatient services and certain items and services provided by medical suppliers. Medicare Part B also covers a limited number of specifically designated prescription drugs. Medicare Part A requires long-term care facilities to submit all of their costs for patient care, including pharmaceutical costs, in a unified bill. Thus, fees for pharmaceuticals provided to Medicare Part A patients are paid to the Company by the long-term care facility on a monthly basis. Pricing is consistent with that of private pay residents and Medicaid rates. Medicare Part A has a cost-sharing arrangement under which beneficiaries must pay a portion of their costs. These co-payments are billed by the facility directly to residents or to the state Medicaid plan, as the case may be. Medicare Part B provides benefits covering, among other things, outpatient treatment, physicians' services, durable medical equipment ("DME"), orthotics, prosthetic devices and medical supplies. Products and services covered for Medicare Part B eligible residents in the long-term care facility include, but are not limited to, enteral feeding products, ostomy supplies, urological products, orthotics, prosthetics, surgical dressings, tracheostomy care supplies and a limited number of other medical supplies. All claims for DME, prosthetics, orthotics, prosthetic devices, including enteral therapy, and medical supplies ("DMEPOS") are submitted to and paid by four regional carriers known as Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers ("DMERCs"). The DMERCs establish coverage guidelines, allowable utilization frequencies and billing procedures for DMEPOS. Payment is based on a fee schedule, which varies depending on the state in which the patient receiving the items resides. Payments for Medicare Part B products to eligible suppliers, which include long-term care facilities and suppliers such as the Company, are made on a per-item basis directly to the supplier. In order to receive Medicare Part B reimbursement payments, suppliers must meet certain conditions set by the federal government. The Company, as an eligible supplier, either bills Medicare directly for Part B-covered products for each patient or, alternatively, assists the long-term care facility in meeting Medicare Part B eligibility requirements and prepares bills on behalf of the facility. Medicare Part B also has an annual deductible as well as a co-payment obligation on behalf of the patient, and the portion not covered by Medicare is billed directly to the patient or appropriate secondary payor. LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES. In addition to occasional private patient billings and those related to pharmaceuticals for Medicare-eligible residents, long-term care facilities are billed directly for consulting services, certain over-the-counter medications and bulk house supplies. In some states, such as New York, Medicaid reimbursement for pharmacy products and services is paid to the nursing facility operator as part of its comprehensive per diem rates. The nursing facility operator, in turn, is responsible for paying the pharmacy provider. PRIVATE PAY. For those customers who are not covered by government-sponsored programs, the Company generally collects cash or bills the customer or other responsible party on a monthly basis. 52 Depending upon local market practices, the Company may alternatively bill private residents through the long-term care facility. Pricing for private pay customers is based on prevailing regional market rates or "usual and customary" charges. THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE. Third-party insurance includes funding for customers covered by private plans, veterans' benefits, workers' compensation and other programs. The resident's individual insurance plan is billed monthly and rates are consistent with those for other private pay residents. COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS. Commercial accounts include businesses that purchase medical supplies, products or pharmaceuticals on a non-prescription basis, generally for use within their operations or for resale. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Long-term care pharmacies, as well as the long-term care facilities they serve, are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations. These laws and regulations cover required qualifications, day-to-day operations, reimbursement and the documentation of activities. The Company continuously monitors the effects of regulatory activity on its operations. LICENSURE, CERTIFICATION AND REGULATION. States generally require that companies operating a pharmacy within that state be licensed by the state board of pharmacy. The Company currently has pharmacy licenses in each of the eight states in which it operates a pharmacy. In addition, the Company's pharmacies are registered with the appropriate state and federal authorities pursuant to statutes governing the regulation of controlled substances. Long-term care facilities are also separately required to be licensed in the states in which they operate and, if serving Medicare or Medicaid patients, must be certified to be in compliance with applicable program participation requirements. Long-term care facilities are also subject to the long-term care facility reforms of OBRA, which impose strict compliance standards relating to the quality of care for long-term care operations, including vastly increased documentation and reporting requirements. In addition, pharmacists, nurses and other health professionals who provide services on the Company's behalf are in most cases required to obtain and maintain professional licenses and are subject to state regulation regarding professional standards of conduct. FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AFFECTING THE REPACKAGING, LABELING AND INTERSTATE SHIPPING OF PHARMACEUTICALS. Federal and state laws impose certain repackaging, labeling and package insert requirements on pharmacies that repackage pharmaceuticals for distribution beyond the regular practice of dispensing or selling drugs directly to patients at retail. A pharmaceutical repackager must register with the FDA. The Company believes that it holds all required registrations and licenses and that its repackaging operations are in compliance with applicable state and federal requirements. MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. The long-term care facility pharmacy business operates under regulatory and cost containment pressures from state and federal legislation primarily affecting Medicaid and, to a lesser extent, Medicare. The Medicare program establishes certain requirements for participation of providers and suppliers in the Medicare program. Pharmacies are not subject to such certification requirements. Skilled long-term care facilities and suppliers of DMEPOS, however, are subject to specified standards. Failure to comply with these requirements and standards may adversely affect an entity's ability to participate in the Medicare program and receive reimbursement for services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. See "-- Reimbursement and Billing." Federal law and regulations contain a variety of requirements relating to the furnishing of prescription pharmaceuticals under Medicaid. First, states are given broad authority, subject to certain standards, to limit or to specify conditions as to the coverage of particular drugs. Second, federal Medicaid law establishes standards affecting pharmacy practice. These standards include general requirements relating to patient counseling and drug utilization review and more specific requirements for long-term care facilities relating to drug regimen reviews for Medicaid patients in 53 such facilities. Recent regulations clarify that, under federal law, a pharmacy is not required to meet the general standards for pharmaceuticals dispensed to long-term care facility residents if the long-term care facility complies with the drug regimen review requirements. However, the regulations indicate that states may nevertheless require pharmacies to comply with the general standards, regardless of whether the long-term care facility satisfies the drug regimen review requirements, and the states in which the Company operates currently require its pharmacies to comply therewith. Third, federal regulations impose certain requirements relating to reimbursement for prescription pharmaceuticals furnished to Medicaid residents. See "-- Reimbursement and Billing -- Medicaid." In addition to requirements imposed by federal law, states have substantial discretion to determine administrative, coverage, eligibility and payment policies under their state Medicaid programs which may affect the Company's operations. For example, some states have enacted "freedom of choice" requirements which prohibit a long-term care facility from requiring its residents to purchase pharmacy or other ancillary medical services or supplies from particular providers that deal with the long-term care facility. Such limitations may increase the competition which the Company faces in providing services to long-term care facility patients. REFERRAL RESTRICTIONS. The Company is subject to federal and state laws which govern financial and other arrangements between health care providers. These laws include the federal anti-kickback statute, which was originally enacted in 1977 and amended in 1987, and which prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying any remuneration directly or indirectly in return for or to induce the referral of an individual to a person for the furnishing of any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part under Medicare or Medicaid. Many states have enacted similar statutes which are not necessarily limited to items and services for which payment is made by Medicare or Medicaid. Violations of these laws may result in fines, imprisonment and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs or other state-funded programs. Federal and state court decisions interpreting these statutes are limited, but have generally construed the statutes to apply if "one purpose" of remuneration is to induce referrals or other conduct within the statute. Federal regulations establish "Safe Harbors," which grant immunity from criminal or civil penalties to parties in good faith compliance. While the failure to satisfy all the criteria for a specific Safe Harbor does not necessarily mean that an arrangement violates the statute, the arrangement is subject to review by the HHS Office of Inspector General ("OIG"), which is charged with administering the federal anti-kickback statute. There are no procedures for obtaining binding interpretations or advisory opinions from the OIG on the application of the federal anti-kickback statute to an arrangement or its qualification for a Safe Harbor upon which the Company can rely. The OIG has issued "Fraud Alerts" identifying certain questionable arrangements and practices which it believes may implicate the federal anti-kickback statute. The OIG has issued a Fraud Alert providing its views on certain joint venture and contractual arrangements between health care providers. The OIG has recently issued a Fraud Alert concerning prescription pharmaceutical marketing practices that could potentially violate the federal anti-kickback statute. Pharmaceutical marketing activities may implicate the federal anti-kickback statute because drugs are often reimbursed under the Medicaid program. According to the Fraud Alert, examples of practices that may implicate the statute include certain arrangements under which remuneration is made to pharmacists to recommend the use of a particular pharmaceutical product. In addition, a number of states have recently undertaken enforcement actions against pharmaceutical manufacturers involving pharmaceutical marketing programs, including programs containing incentives to pharmacists to dispense one particular product rather than another. These enforcement actions arise under state consumer protection laws which generally prohibit false advertising, deceptive trade practices and the like. Further, a number of the states involved in these enforcement actions have requested that the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") exercise greater regulatory oversight in the area of pharmaceutical promotional activities by pharmacists. It is not possible to determine whether the FDA will act in this regard or what effect, if any, FDA involvement would have on the Company's operations. 54 The Company believes its contract arrangements with other health care providers, its pharmaceutical suppliers and its pharmacy practices are in compliance with these laws. There can be no assurance that such laws will not, however, be interpreted in the future in a manner inconsistent with the Company's interpretation and application. EMPLOYEES As of October 23, 1996, the Company had approximately 485 full-time and 180 part-time employees. None of the Company's employees is represented by a union. The Company considers relations with its employees to be good. In addition, the Company employs approximately 190 people through staff leasing companies. PROPERTIES The Company presently maintains its executive offices in approximately 900 square feet of space in Naperville, Illinois pursuant to a lease expiring in June 1997. The Company currently considers this space to be sufficient for its corporate headquarters operations. As of October 23, 1996, the Company leased 34 pharmacy locations aggregating approximately 172,000 square feet and 11 warehouse and office locations aggregating approximately 37,000 square feet. The remaining terms of the leases relating to these properties vary in length from one to ten years, and such leases, in some cases, include options to extend. INSURANCE The Company's business exposes it to risks that are inherent in the packaging and distribution of pharmaceuticals and the provision of other services, such as consultant pharmacist services and formulary management services. The Company maintains general/professional liability insurance in the amount of $1 million per claim and $3 million aggregate per pharmacy location and umbrella liability insurance in the amount of $10 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate. There can be no assurance that the coverage limits of such insurance will be adequate to protect the Company against future claims. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain professional liability insurance in the future on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS While the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings, the Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. 55 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES The following table sets forth certain information as of the date of this Prospectus concerning each of the directors, executive officers and certain key employees of the Company: NAME AGE POSITION - ------------------------------------- --- ----------------------------------------------------- DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS: Bryan C.

Burfield. The Stockholders Agreement has been amended and restated, and the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement governing the composition of the Company's Board of Directors will terminate upon the closing of the Offering. In October 1996 the Company and the GTCR Fund entered into an agreement pursuant to which, upon the request of the GTCR Fund, the Company will take all necessary and desirable actions within its control to expand the size of the Board to seven members and to nominate a representative of the GTCR Fund for election to the Board. This agreement terminates at such time as the GTCR Fund owns less than 15% of the Company's voting stock on a fully-diluted basis. See "-- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Stockholders Agreement of the Company" and "-- Nominating Agreement." Pursuant to the terms of the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement, Mr. Halberg and Dr. Jerstad became directors of the Company in August 1996, and the Company has agreed to nominate Dr. Jerstad (or such other individual who may be Chief Executive Officer of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society) and, if and for so long as he shall be Chief Executive Officer of Good Samaritan Supply, Mr. Halberg, for election to the Board of Directors in each subsequent election of directors.

See "Certain Transactions -- Good Samaritan Relationship." Following the Offering, the Board of Directors will be composed of three classes, with each class as nearly equal in number as possible. Upon the expiration of the term of each class of directors, directors comprising such class will be elected for a three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which such term expires.

Mr. Cressey, Mr. Cooper and Dr. Jerstad are the members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Directors who are not currently receiving compensation as officers or employees of the Company, other than Mr. Cressey and Mr. Mitchell, are entitled to a fee of $1,000 plus reimbursement of expenses for attending each meeting of the Board of Directors and each meeting of any committee not held concurrently with a meeting of the Board of Directors.

Burfield, ................................................ $ 263,313 $ 72,450 President and Chief Executive Officer (1) Michael B. Freedman ................................................. 88,333 42,000 Vice President-Business Development - ------------------------------ (1) At December 31, 1995, Mr. Burfield held 537,288 restricted shares of Common Stock, which were valued at $757,576 at that date. Value is calculated by multiplying the estimated fair market value at December 31, 1995 by the number of restricted shares held. Of Mr. Burfield's 537,288 restricted shares, 273,905 shares were vested at December 31, 1995. Upon consummation of the Offering, all or a portion of Mr. Burfield's unvested restricted shares will vest pursuant to an amended management agreement contemplated to be entered into by Mr. Burfield and the Company. Dividends will be payable on the shares if and to the extent paid on Common Stock generally. Mr. Burfield did not receive any restricted share awards in 1995. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS Mr. Burfield and the Company entered into a Senior Management Agreement in December 1993, pursuant to which Mr. Burfield has been employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Senior Management Agreement provides for an annual base salary at a rate of $241,500, subject to such increases, but not decreases, as determined by the Board. If Mr. Burfield is terminated by the Company other than for cause, Mr. Burfield is entitled to receive payments at the rate of his annual base salary for a period of six months. Pursuant to the Senior Management Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Burfield 7,867.1 restricted shares of Class B Common Stock 60 (547,944 restricted shares of Common Stock as reclassified), which shares, subject to certain acceleration events, vest over a seven-year period. See Note 12 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Mr. Burfield and the Company contemplate entering into an Amended and Restated Senior Management Agreement (the "Burfield Management Agreement") following the consummation of the Offering. The Burfield Management Agreement is expected to provide that Mr. Burfield will receive a base salary as determined by the Board of Directors at a rate of not less than $265,000 per annum, subject to such increases, but not decreases, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board may award Mr. Burfield a bonus in an amount not to exceed 45% of his annual base salary for the year. In the event Mr. Burfield is terminated other than for cause or Mr. Burfield resigns as a result of a change in control of the Company, any material breach by the Company of the terms of the Burfield Management Agreement or reassignment or relocation of, or change in the duties of, Mr. Burfield, Mr. Burfield shall be entitled to receive the annual base salary and annual bonus awarded during the previous year for 24 months following the date of termination, payable in monthly installments. Under the Burfield Management Agreement, Mr. Burfield's employment period will continue until his resignation, disability (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) or death or until the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment that termination of Mr. Burfield's employment is in the best interest of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of a Senior Management Agreement between Mr. Freedman and the Company entered into as of September 5, 1996, in the event Mr. Freedman's employment is terminated other than for cause, Mr. Freedman shall be entitled to six months' notice or, if the Company determines to immediately terminate Mr. Freedman's employment, Mr. Freedman shall be entitled to his annual base salary for six months. Under the Senior Management Agreement, Mr. Freedman's employment period will continue until his resignation, disability (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or chief executive officer of the Company) or death or until the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment that termination of Mr. Freedman's employment is in the best interest of the Company. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN. The Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in October 1996. The Company has reserved 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1996 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee has the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, to select persons to whom awards will be granted, to designate the number of shares to be covered by awards, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each award. Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company intends to grant pursuant to the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares to members of management of, and certain consultants to, Good Samaritan Supply and Royal Care Holdings, Inc. at an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price. The 1996 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock awards and stock appreciation rights to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to non-employee directors and non-employee consultants and advisors. Options granted under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan may be qualified or non-qualified stock options. SUBSIDIARY OPTION PLANS. In October 1995, four of the Company's operating subsidiaries (Gatti LTC Services, Inc., Williamson Drug Company, Inc., Nihan & Martin, Inc. and Dixon Pharmacy, Inc.) adopted Stock Option Plans for Executives and Key Employees (the "Subsidiary Option Plans"). Each Subsidiary Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, of the respective subsidiary. Each Subsidiary Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common stock of such subsidiary, at an exercise price of not less than fair market value of such stock, to directors, executives or other key employees of the subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the Subsidiary Option Plans and as part of the Minority Interest Conversions, the stock options 61 granted pursuant to the Subsidiary Option Plans were converted to options to purchase Company Common Stock. The Company has reserved 160,790 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Subsidiary Option Plans. As of the date of this Prospectus, options covering 146,635 shares of Company Common Stock, with an average weighted exercise price of $7.31 per share, have been granted under the Subsidiary Option Plans. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT. Pursuant to the terms of a Professional Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") dated December 3, 1993 between GTCR IV, L.P. (an affiliate of the GTCR Fund and two principals of the general partner of which are Bryan C. Cressey, a member of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, and Lee M. Mitchell, a member of the Company's Board of Directors) ("GTCR") and the Company, GTCR has provided the Company with management and financial consulting services, for which the Company accrued management fees of $50,000 during each of 1994 and 1995, and $25,000 during 1996 through June 30. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, GTCR is entitled to 1% of the dollar amount of capital received by the Company upon the closing of any issuance of debt or equity securities from parties other than GTCR, its directors, its officers or its employees or the Company's management. No amounts have been or will be paid to GTCR pursuant to this provision of the Services Agreement. The Company and GTCR have agreed to terminate the Services Agreement effective upon the consummation of the Offering. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the Company will pay GTCR $450,000 from the proceeds of the Offering, of which $162,500 is in payment of accrued but unpaid fees under the Services Agreement and $287,500 is in exchange for the termination of the Services Agreement. AGREEMENT WITH GTCR FUND REGARDING CLASS A COMMON STOCK. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Class A Common Stock, upon the occurrence of the Offering and from the net proceeds thereof, the GTCR Fund, as the sole holder of the Class A Common Stock, is entitled to a preferential cash distribution in the amount of the lesser of (a) 25% of the net proceeds from the Offering (after deducting all discounts and reasonable expenses) or (b) the amount of all Unpaid Yield (as defined therein) ($2.3 million at November 15, 1996) plus Unreturned Original Cost (as defined therein) ($22.5 million) with respect to the Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company anticipates paying to the GTCR Fund the amount of approximately $16.9 million from the proceeds of the Offering (approximately $19.5 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). See "Use of Proceeds." In addition, upon the occurrence of future public offerings, the holder of Class A Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to additional preferential distributions until the entire Unpaid Yield and Unpaid Original Cost is paid in full. In August 1996, the Company and the GTCR Fund entered into an agreement contemplating the GTCR Fund's relinquishment of any future preferences with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the agreement and effective upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, the Company will issue and deliver to the GTCR Fund an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the "Additional GTCR Shares") obtained by dividing (a) the then remaining Unpaid Yield and Unreturned Original Cost (giving effect to the amount thereof paid with the proceeds of the Offering) by (b) the initial public offering price of shares of Common Stock. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, the Company will issue to the GTCR Fund 565,625 Additional GTCR Shares (378,833 Additional GTCR Shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). Contemporaneously with the Offering, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all shares of Class A Common Stock will be converted into shares of Common Stock. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company and all holders of Common Stock prior to the Offering have entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Agreement") pursuant to which the Company's stockholders have been granted certain rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act, for resale to the public, of their respective Registrable Securities (as defined in the 62 Registration Agreement). Following the Offering, such stockholders will own in the aggregate approximately 52.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. The Registration Agreement provides, among other things, that following the Offering, the GTCR Fund has the right to require the Company to effect as many as three "long-form" and five "short-form" demand registrations under the Securities Act with respect to all or a portion of the GTCR Fund's Registrable Securities. Other holders of Registrable Securities are entitled to include in such demand registrations (and in primary registrations by the Company) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, subject to certain limitations, including priority provisions. The Company has agreed to bear all reasonable and customary expenses associated with such registrations (other than underwriters' discounts and commissions). STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY. The Company and all holders of Common Stock prior to the Offering have entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 23, 1996 (the "Stockholders Agreement"), pursuant to which all such holders of Common Stock (other than the GTCR Fund) have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in any disposition of shares of Common Stock held by the GTCR Fund, other than dispositions to an affiliate or sales to the public pursuant to an offering registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. NOMINATING AGREEMENT. On October 9, 1996, the Company and the GTCR Fund entered into an agreement pursuant to which, upon the request of the GTCR Fund, the Company will take all necessary and desirable actions within its control to expand the size of the Board to seven members and to nominate a representative of the GTCR Fund for election to the Board. This agreement terminates at such time as the GTCR Fund owns less than 15% of the Company's voting stock on a fully-diluted basis. FINANCIAL ADVISORY FEES. Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of February 23, 1996, as amended (the "Equitable Agreement"), Equitable Securities Corporation ("Equitable") has provided the Company with certain strategic and financial advisory services. Equitable is one of the Representatives of the Underwriters in the Offering, and Mr. James H. S. Cooper, a director of the Company and a member of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, is a Managing Director of Equitable. For such strategic and advisory investment banking services, the Company paid Equitable a retainer fee in the amount of $25,000. In the event the Company utilizes the services of Equitable in connection with any acquisition, Equitable will receive a transaction fee in an amount mutually agreed to in advance of such transaction, based on the size and complexity of the contemplated acquisition. The Equitable Agreement is effective through December 31, 1996, unless earlier terminated by the Company or Equitable, provided that Equitable shall receive any amounts due and owing to it in the event that a transaction with respect to which Equitable has provided advisory services closes on or before June 30, 1997. After December 31, 1996 the Equitable Agreement automatically terminates unless the Company and Equitable mutually agree to an extension. In the event that the Company terminates the Equitable Agreement prior to December 31, 1996, the Company is obligated to pay Equitable a termination fee of $75,000 plus all fees and amounts due and owing up to the date of termination. If Equitable terminates the Equitable Agreement prior to December 31, 1996, Equitable shall refund to the Company the $25,000 retainer fee previously paid by the Company. BRIDGE LOAN GUARANTY. The GTCR Fund has guaranteed repayment by the Company of its indebtedness under the Bridge Loan (the "GTCR Guaranty"). Pursuant to a Reimbursement and Conversion Rights Agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement") between the Company and the GTCR Fund, the Company, subject to certain conditions, will reimburse the GTCR Fund for payments made by the GTCR Fund under the GTCR Guaranty by either (i) paying cash or other monetary reimbursement to the GTCR Fund or (ii) issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock to the GTCR Fund, the form of such reimbursement to be at the election of the GTCR Fund. If the Company is required to reimburse the GTCR Fund under the Reimbursement Agreement and the GTCR Fund 63 elects to be reimbursed in shares of the Company's Common Stock, the number of shares which it would receive would be computed pursuant to a formula set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement. The Company anticipates that the Bridge Loan will be repaid out of a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering and, consequently, the obligations of the Company under the Reimbursement Agreement will be terminated. See "Use of Proceeds." DIRECTOR STOCK ISSUANCES. In September 1996, the Company issued to each of James H.S. Cooper and Mark A. Jerstad (directors of the Company and members of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors) 170.1807 shares of Class B common stock (11,853 shares of Common Stock as reclassified) for an aggregate consideration of $16,756, or $98.46 per share of Class B common stock ($1.41 per share of Common Stock), of which $1,676 was paid in cash and $15,080 was paid by delivery to the Company of a promissory note. See "Certain Transactions -- Company Common Stock Issuances" for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions to which such shares are subject. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS MINORITY INTEREST CONVERSIONS As part of the Company's acquisition strategy of identifying and incentivizing strong management teams, management of the acquired companies has generally retained minority equity interests in their respective companies. In August 1996, the Company exercised its right to convert management's minority equity interests in the acquired companies into shares of Common Stock, and options to purchase shares of such acquired companies were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 146,635 shares of Common Stock (the "Minority Interest Conversions"). The conversion formula was based on a percentage derived from each subsidiary's proportionate share of the Company's consolidated trailing earnings giving pro forma effect to recent acquisitions. The former holders of the minority equity interests received an aggregate of 794,581 shares of Common Stock. GOOD SAMARITAN RELATIONSHIP On April 30, 1996, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") between the Company and Good Samaritan Supply, the Company purchased shares of Good Samaritan Supply ("Good Samaritan Common Stock") representing 40% of the outstanding Good Samaritan Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will purchase additional shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million, which, together with the Good Samaritan Common Stock already owned by the Company, will represent 50.1% of the outstanding Good Samaritan Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company, The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation (the Company's co-investor in Good Samaritan Supply) (the "Foundation") and Good Samaritan Supply also entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the "Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement"), and the Company, Good Samaritan Supply, the Foundation and the Society entered into a Non-Competition and Marketing Assistance Agreement (the "Non-Competition and Marketing Agreement"). The Foundation currently holds 60% of the outstanding Good Samaritan Common Stock and will, after the Good Samaritan Consolidation, hold 49.9% of the outstanding Good Samaritan Common Stock. The Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement contains provisions (i) governing the composition of the Board of Directors of Good Samaritan Supply, (ii) granting rights of first refusal with respect to the sale or transfer of Good Samaritan Common Stock, (iii) governing the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company following an initial public offering of Company Common Stock (see "Management -- Directors, Executive Officers and Key Employees"), (iv) granting to the Foundation or any affiliate holding Good Samaritan Common Stock an option, exercisable after the Company's initial public offering, to convert its Good Samaritan Common Stock into shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering Option"), (v) granting to the Foundation or any affiliate holding Good Samaritan Common Stock a right to put its shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock to the 64 Company (the "Good Samaritan Put"), (vi) granting to the Company an option to purchase all shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock held by other parties to the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement ("Company Call Option"), (vii) granting registration rights to the Foundation with respect to its Company Common Stock (See "-- Good Samaritan Registration Rights") and (viii) granting certain rights to the Foundation or any affiliate holding Good Samaritan Common Stock upon certain changes in the Company's ownership. The Initial Public Offering Option provides that on or after an initial public offering of Company Common Stock, the Foundation or any affiliate of the Foundation holding Good Samaritan Common Stock shall have the option to exchange any or all of its shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock for Common Stock of the Company. The formula for determining the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option is based upon several factors, including (a) the total consolidated market capitalization of the Company (which, in turn, depends upon the market price of the Company's Common Stock), (b) the book value of Good Samaritan Supply, (c) the Company's percentage ownership of Good Samaritan Supply, and (d) Good Samaritan Supply's relative contribution to the Company's consolidated net income over a trailing twelve-month period, with each entity's net income being adjusted for extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses, including the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued operations, etc. See "Risk Factors - -- Possible Dilution Resulting from Good Samaritan Option and Put." Prior to April 30, 1999, the maximum number of shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock which may be exchanged is 200 shares, representing 10% of the shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock to be issued and outstanding after the Good Samaritan Consolidation. From April 30, 1999 until April 30, 2001, the maximum number of shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock which may be exchanged is a number of shares which, together with all other shares previously exchanged, shall not cause the Foundation and the Foundation affiliates, collectively, to own less than 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock. The Good Samaritan Put provides that, at any time after April 30, 1999, the Foundation may demand that the Company or any affiliate of the Company holding Good Samaritan Common Stock purchase any or all shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock held by the Foundation or any affiliate of the Foundation; provided that the Foundation may only exercise this put right to the extent that after the exercise the Foundation and any such affiliate shall own at least 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock. The Good Samaritan Put also provides that at any time after April 30, 2001, the Foundation may demand that the Company or any affiliate of the Company holding Good Samaritan Common Stock purchase all shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock held by the Foundation and such affiliates. The Company's obligations with respect to the Good Samaritan Put will continue notwithstanding any sale or transfer by the Company of any or all of its Good Samaritan Common Stock. The Company Call Option provides that, at any time after April 30, 2001, the Company may demand that the Foundation and any affiliate of the Foundation holding shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock sell any or all such shares to the Company; provided, that the Foundation and the Foundation affiliates shall have the right to retain, collectively, a number of shares equal to 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock. The Good Samaritan Put and the Company Call Option may only be exercised once in any ninety day period. If the Company shares are publicly traded on NASDAQ National Market, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange ("Publicly Traded") at the time the Good Samaritan Put is exercised, then the Company shall be entitled to elect whether the consideration to be received shall be cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof. If the Company shares are Publicly Traded at the time the Company Call Option is exercised, then the Foundation and affiliate transferees shall have the right to elect whether the consideration to be received shall be cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof. If the Company shares are not Publicly Traded, then the consideration to be received shall be cash. 65 The formula for determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option, the Good Samaritan Put or the Company Call Option is based upon several factors, including (a) the total consolidated market capitalization of the Company (which, in turn, depends upon the market price of the Company's Common Stock), (b) the book value of Good Samaritan Supply, (c) the Company's percentage ownership of Good Samaritan Supply, and (d) Good Samaritan Supply's relative contribution to the Company's consolidated net income over a trailing twelve-month period, with each entity's net income being adjusted for extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses, including the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued operations, etc. While this formula is intended to approximate the fair value of the shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock being converted or exchanged, there can be no assurance that the value of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option, the Good Samaritan Put or the Company Call Option will in fact approximate the fair value of such shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock. Based upon management's current estimate of the relative future performance of the Company and Good Samaritan Supply, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Foundation upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option, the Good Samaritan Put or the Company Call Option would be substantially less than 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. It is possible, however, that, under certain extraordinary circumstances (i.e., the Company's recognizing a consolidated net loss (without regard to Good Samaritan Supply), Good Samaritan Supply's performing extraordinarily better than projected and the Company's market capitalization approaching zero), the Company would be obligated to issue a number of shares which, after giving effect to such issuance, would be in excess of 99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option, the Company Call Option or the Good Samaritan Put (but, in the case of the Good Samaritan Put, only if the Company elected to exchange Common Stock rather than cash for the Foundation's shares of stock in Good Samaritan Supply). The Company believes that the probability of occurrence of such circumstances is extremely remote. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option, the Good Samaritan Put or the Company Call Option equals or exceeds 20% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. would require shareholder approval of such issuance. If the Company enters into discussions involving a transaction or series of transactions whereby the Company would become controlled by a nursing home chain (a "Nursing Home Change in Control"), the Company must give the Foundation notice of the discussions. Upon receipt of the notice, the Foundation shall have the option to consent or not consent to the Nursing Home Change in Control. If the Foundation does not consent to the Nursing Home Change in Control, the Foundation will be deemed to have made an irrevocable offer to sell its shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock to the Company. If the Company does not accept the Foundation's offer, the Company will be deemed to have made an irrevocable offer to sell its shares of Good Samaritan Common Stock to the Foundation. If the Foundation declines the Company's offer, then the Company may engage in the Nursing Home Change in Control. Any purchase of Good Samaritan Common Stock by the Company or the Foundation shall be for the appraised value thereof and may only occur if the Nursing Home Change in Control described in the notice has actually occurred. If the Company completes a transaction or series of transactions resulting in a Nursing Home Change in Control and the Company had not given the Foundation notice that discussions pertaining to a Nursing Home Change in Control had been in progress, then the Foundation may either put the Good Samaritan Common Stock owned by it to the Company or call the Good Samaritan Common Stock owned by the Company, in each case at such shares' appraised value. The appraised value of the Good Samaritan Common Stock shall be determined by one appraiser selected by the Company and one appraiser selected by the Foundation, each of which is either a big six accounting firm or an investment banking firm having operations nationwide. If the two appraisers do not agree and the difference is not greater than 10% of the higher number, the two appraisals shall be averaged. If the two appraisers do not agree and the difference in 66 the appraised value is greater than 10%, then the first two appraisers shall select a third appraiser. The appraised value shall be the average of the two appraisals which shall be nearest to one another in total amounts. Any shares of Company Common Stock issued to the Foundation or any affiliate of the Foundation pursuant to the Good Samaritan Put and/or the Company Call Option shall have the registration rights described herein under "-- Good Samaritan Registration Rights." The Non-Competition and Marketing Assistance Agreement among the Company, Good Samaritan Supply, the Foundation and the Society contains provisions that (i) limit the Company's ability other than through Good Samaritan Supply to engage in institutional long-term care pharmacy operations in certain states; (ii) limit the Company's ability other than through Good Samaritan Supply to engage in the provision of home medical equipment and supplies (such as wheelchairs, walkers, beds, canes, bandages, or sutures, but excluding drugs) ("Home Medical Equipment and Supplies"); (iii) limit Good Samaritan Supply's ability to engage in institutional long-term care pharmacy operations in certain states; and (iv) preclude the Foundation and the Society from engaging in institutional long-term care pharmacy operations and the provision of Home Medical Equipment and Supplies other than through ownership of the Company or Good Samaritan Supply. In addition, the Non-Competition and Marketing Assistance Agreement provides that the Company shall assist Good Samaritan Supply in Good Samaritan Supply's marketing of Home Medical Equipment and Supplies to the current and future customers of the Company's institutional pharmacies. The Non-Competition and Marketing Assistance Agreement also contains provisions concerning non-solicitation, confidentiality and use of the Good Samaritan Supply name. Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Competition and Marketing Assistance Agreement, the Company may not, subject to certain exceptions, engage in or conduct (collectively "engage") (i) any institutional long-term care pharmacy which is located in or derives more than 5% of its revenues from sales in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming (the "Excluded States") or (ii) any business or enterprise that provides Home Medical Equipment and Supplies in the United States of America. Good Samaritan Supply may not, subject to certain exceptions, engage in (i) any institutional long-term care pharmacy which is located outside of or derives more than 5% of its revenues from sales outside of the Excluded States or Florida; or (ii) any institutional long-term care pharmacy which is located in Florida, other than such pharmacies that serve primarily assisted living facilities or congregate care facilities. The existing direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are permitted to continue to operate their Home Medical Equipment and Supply businesses as operated by such subsidiaries on April 30, 1996, provided that the Company uses reasonable efforts to cause these subsidiaries to transfer or combine such lines of business with Good Samaritan Supply's business activities of this type on terms mutually satisfactory to all parties. If after April 30, 1996, the Company desires to acquire a business that provides Home Medical Equipment and Supplies, the Company may do so if it causes such lines of business to be combined with Good Samaritan Supply's business activities of that type. While the Company may acquire such business through Good Samaritan Supply, the Company does not currently own a majority of the outstanding voting stock of Good Samaritan Supply and, therefore, cannot at the present time necessarily control Good Samaritan Supply's decisions regarding acquisitions. However, upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will own 50.1% of the Good Samaritan Common Stock. The non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions of the Non-Competition and Marketing Assistance Agreement terminate five years after the Company and all affiliates of the Company no longer own any Good Samaritan Common Stock or after the Foundation and all affiliates of the Foundation no longer own any Good Samaritan Common Stock. GOOD SAMARITAN REGISTRATION RIGHTS Pursuant to the terms of the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement, the Company granted the Foundation and any affiliate of the Foundation two demand registration rights with respect to shares 67 of Common Stock received by the Foundation or such affiliates upon the exercise of the Good Samaritan Put and/or the Company Call Option. The Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement also provides that, in the event the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act at any time or times, subject to certain limitations, the Company will use its best efforts to include the Common Stock received by the Foundation and any Foundation affiliate upon the exercise of the Initial Public Offering Option, the Good Samaritan Put and the Company Call Option in such registrations. The Company has agreed to bear all reasonable and customary expenses associated with such registrations (other than underwriters' discounts and commissions). See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation" for a discussion of registration rights held by other holders of the Company's Common Stock. COMPANY COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES In August 1994 the Company issued 7,867.1 restricted shares of Class B common stock (547,944 restricted shares of Common Stock as reclassified) (889.7 of which shares of Class B common stock (61,966 shares of Common Stock) were subsequently forfeited, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company) to Timothy L.

Upon termination of Mr. Burfield's employment during such period, the Company has the option to purchase any or all shares of Common Stock so issued at such shares' fair market value as reasonably determined by the Company's Board of Directors. In September 1996 the Company issued 170.1807 shares of Class B common stock (11,853 shares of Common Stock as reclassified) to each of James H.S. Cooper, Charles C. Halberg and Mark A. Jerstad (each a director of the Company) at a purchase price of $98.46 per share of Class B common stock ($1.41 per share of Common Stock). All of such shares were issued subject to the terms of separate stock purchase agreements, and the purchase price for such shares was made by delivery of cash (in the amount of 10% of the purchase price) and a promissory note (in the principal amount of 90% of the purchase price). During the period ending September 5, 2001, the shares of Common Stock acquired by Messrs. Cooper, Halberg and Jerstad may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except (i) pursuant to a Sale of the Company (as defined), (ii) to such person's spouse and/or descendants and to any trust established solely for the benefit of such person and/or such person's spouse and/or descendants, (iii) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution, or (iv) upon the consent and approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Upon such person's ceasing to be a director of the Company during such period, the Company has the option to purchase any or all shares of Common Stock so issued at such shares' fair market value as reasonably determined by the Company's Board of Directors. In September 1996 the Company issued an aggregate of 3,403.259 shares of Class B common stock (237,038 shares of Common Stock as reclassified) to certain executive officers of the Company (1,496.4457 Class B shares (104,228 shares of Common Stock), 1,156.0843 Class B shares (80,522 shares of Common Stock) and 750.7229 Class B shares (52,288 shares of Common Stock) to Charles R. 68 Wallace, Michael B. Freedman and J. Jeffrey Gephart, respectively), at a purchase price of $98.46 per share of Class B common stock ($1.41 per share of Common Stock). All of such shares were issued subject to the terms of separate stock purchase agreements, and the purchase price for such shares was made by delivery of cash (in the amount of 10% of the purchase price) and a promissory note (in the principal amount of 90% of the purchase price). During the period ending August 15, 1999 (with respect to Mr. Freedman), the period ending September 25, 2000 (with respect to Mr. Wallace) and the period ending January 1, 2000 (with respect to Mr. Gephart), the shares of Common Stock acquired by Messrs. Freedman, Wallace and Gephart may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except (i) pursuant to a Sale of the Company (as defined), (ii) to such person's spouse and/ or descendants and to any trust established solely for the benefit of such person and/or such person's spouse and/or descendants, (iii) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution, or (iv) upon the consent and approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Upon termination of such person's employment with the Company during the applicable period, the Company has the option to purchase any or all shares of Common Stock so issued to such person at such shares' fair market value as reasonably determined by the Company's Board of Directors. ARRANGEMENT WITH DIRECTOR Charles C. Halberg (a member of the Company's Board of Directors) and Good Samaritan Supply entered into an Executive Employment Agreement dated January 1, 1996 (the "Halberg Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Halberg is employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of Good Samaritan Supply. The Halberg Employment Agreement is for a term of four years and, commencing on January 1, 1997 and each subsequent anniversary thereof, shall automatically extend for an additional one-year term unless Good Samaritan Supply shall provide Mr. Halberg with 90 days' notice prior to the extension of any term. Under the terms of the Halberg Employment Agreement, Mr. Halberg is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $220,000, subject to upward adjustment by the compensation committee of the board of directors of Good Samaritan Supply, and other benefits including health, dental, disability and life insurance. In addition, Mr. Halberg and Good Samaritan Supply entered into a Change-in-Control Agreement as of April 29, 1996 (the "Change-in-Control Agreement"). If Mr. Halberg is terminated by Good Samaritan Supply after a Change-in-Control (which the Good Samaritan Consolidation will constitute) other than for certain reasons, he will be entitled to certain severance payments. Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company intends to grant Mr. Halberg pursuant to the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan non-qualified options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price. TRANSACTIONS WITH MINORITY OWNER During the year ended June 30, 1995 and the six months ended December 31, 1995, Gatti LTC Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of the Company) purchased pharmaceuticals from entities affiliated with William F. Gatti (a holder of in excess of 5% of the Company's Common Stock) in the amount of $111,000 and $810,000, respectively, and during such periods Gatti LTC Services, Inc. sold pharmaceuticals to such affiliated entities in the amount of $285,000 and $320,000, respectively. The Company believes that these transactions were on terms no less favorable to the Company than would otherwise have been obtained by the Company from an unaffiliated third party. For a discussion of certain transactions between the Company and members of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and/or their affiliates, see "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation." The Company has adopted a policy that future transactions with affiliated persons or companies will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unrelated parties and must be approved by a majority of disinterested directors. 69 PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth ownership of the Company's Common Stock, immediately prior to and immediately following completion of the Offering (assuming no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option), by (i) each person who is known to the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) each director, (iii) the Named Executive Officers and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.

(1) Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. (2) Number of shares beneficially owned and percent owned after Offering reflect the issuance to the GTCR Fund of 565,625 additional shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of an unpaid preference with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock. Percent owned before Offering does not reflect the issuance of such shares. See "Company Background." (3) Bryan C. Cressey and Lee M. Mitchell are principals of Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner, Inc., which is the general partner of GTCR IV, L.P., which is the general partner of Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Fund IV, L.P. Accordingly, Mr. Cressey and Mr. Mitchell may be attributed beneficial ownership of the shares owned of record by Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Fund IV, L.P. Mr. Cressey and Mr. Mitchell disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.

See "Certain Transactions -- Company Common Stock Issuances" for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions to which such shares are subject. Upon consummation of the Offering, all or a portion of Mr. Burfield's unvested restricted shares will vest pursuant to the Burfield Management Agreement. 70 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the "Preferred Stock"). As of the date of this Prospectus, there were 5,559,625 shares of Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were 24 holders of record of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock are, and the Common Stock offered hereby will be, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable. COMMON STOCK Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters subject to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the net assets of the Company available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of holders of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The Company and all holders of Common Stock prior to the Offering have entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which all such holders of Common Stock (other than the GTCR Fund) have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in any disposition of shares of Common Stock held by the GTCR Fund, other than dispositions to an affiliate or sales to the public pursuant to an offering registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Stockholders Agreement of the Company." PREFERRED STOCK Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series upon authorization by the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, without further approval of the stockholders, is authorized to fix the number of shares constituting any series, dividend rights and terms, conversion rights and terms, voting rights and terms, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each series of the Preferred Stock. The issuance of the Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Common Stock and, under certain circumstances, have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, or otherwise adversely affect the market price for the Common Stock. The Company is not aware of any plans by a third party to seek control of the Company. The Company has no current plans to issue any Preferred Stock. CERTAIN LIMITED LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION AND ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws provide that the Company shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party 71 so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. DGCL Section 102 provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. SECTION 203 OF DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder", which is defined as a person who, together with any affiliates or associates of such person, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain business combinations (defined broadly to include mergers, consolidations, sales or other dispositions of such assets having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and certain transactions that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate share ownership in the corporation) between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless (i) the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, (ii) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation (other than stock held by directors who are also officers or by certain employee stock plans) in the transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder or (iii) the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS; NO STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of stockholders of the Company may be called only by a majority of the Board of Directors, the Chairman or the President. In addition, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, following the consummation of the offering, the stockholders of the Company may only take actions at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not take action by written consent. ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS The Amended and Restated By-laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before or nominate directors at any annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be given in writing to the Secretary of the Company not less than 120 days prior to the meeting. The Amended and Restated By-laws also specify certain requirements for a stockholder's notice to be in proper written form. CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company provide that the Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, one-third of the Company's Board of Directors is elected each year. See "Management -- Directors, Executive Officers and Key Employees." NUMBER OF DIRECTORS; REMOVAL; VACANCIES The Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that there shall be at least three directors, with the exact number fixed by the Board of Directors. Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the remaining Directors then in office. The Amended and Restated Certificate 72 of Incorporation provides that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, voting together as a single class. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock will be LaSalle National Bank, Chicago, Illinois. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon the completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding 11,656,804 shares of Common Stock. Of these shares, the 5,357,000 to be sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act by persons other than "affiliates" of the Company as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining 6,299,804 shares of Common Stock (the "Restricted Shares") were acquired in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act and, accordingly, are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144. Restricted Shares may not be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or are sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration, such as is contained in Rule 144. All directors and executive officers and other stockholders of the Company, holding in the aggregate all of the Company's currently outstanding shares of Common Stock, have agreed with the Company at the request of the Underwriters not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock in the public market for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of William Blair & Company, L.L.C. Upon expiration of the 180-day lock-up period, 2,567,282 of the Restricted Shares will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 described below. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned Restricted Shares for at least two years, or any person who may be deemed an "affiliate" of the Company and who owns Common Stock, is entitled, subject to certain conditions, to sell within any three-month period a number of those shares which does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock (116,568 shares immediately after the offering) or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner-of-sale and notice requirements and requirements concerning the availability of public information about the Company. If three years have elapsed since the later of the date of acquisition of Restricted Shares from the Company or any "affiliate" of the Company, and such person is deemed not to have been an "affiliate" of the Company for at least three months preceding a sale, such person would be entitled to sell such shares in the public market under Rule 144(k) without regard to the requirements mentioned above. A proposed amendment to Rule 144 would, if adopted, lower the two and three year holding periods referred to above to one and two years, respectively. Pursuant to the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement and the Registration Agreement, the Company has granted certain stockholders the right to require the Company to register their stock under the Securities Act. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Registration Rights" and "Certain Transactions -- Good Samaritan Registration Rights." 73 UNDERWRITING The Company has entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with the underwriters listed in the table below (the "Underwriters"), for whom William Blair & Company, L.L.C., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and Equitable Securities Corporation are acting as Representatives (the "Representatives"). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters has severally agreed to purchase from the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite each Underwriter's name in the table below: NUMBER OF UNDERWRITERS SHARES - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- William Blair & Company, L.L.C............................................................. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation........................................ Equitable Securities Corporation........................................................... ----------- Total.................................................................................. 5,357,000 ----------- ----------- Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the Common Stock being sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement if any is purchased (excluding shares covered by the over-allotment option granted therein). In the event of a default by any Underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that, in certain circumstances, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting Underwriters may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated. The Representatives have advised the Company that they propose to offer the Common Stock to the public initially at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to selected dealers at such price less a concession of not more than $ per share. In addition, the Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may re-allow, a concession of not more than $ per share to other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representatives. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable within 30 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 803,550 shares of Common Stock at the same price per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the other shares offered hereby. If the Underwriters purchase any such additional shares pursuant to this option, each of the Underwriters will be committed to purchase such additional shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above. The Underwriters may exercise the option only for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the distribution of the Common Stock offered hereby. The Company, its officers, directors and all of its existing stockholders have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of the Company, any security convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any options for Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of William Blair & Company, L.L.C., except for the Common Stock offered hereby (and except, in the case of the Company, for the issuance of the Additional GTCR Shares and 74 shares issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding options, upon conversion of the Royal Care Note, pursuant to the Good Samaritan Shareholders Agreement and in connection with possible future acquisitions). There has been no public market for the shares of Common Stock prior to the offering. The initial public offering price for the Common Stock will be determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price are prevailing market conditions, revenues and earnings of the Company, estimates of the business potential and prospects of the Company, the present state of the Company's business operations, an assessment of the Company's management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to the market valuation of certain publicly traded companies. The Representatives have informed the Company that the Underwriters will not, without customer authority, confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters and their controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Mr. James H.S. Cooper, a Managing Director of Equitable Securities Corporation (one of the Representatives), is a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Equitable Securities Corporation has provided and is currently retained to provide certain investment banking services to the Company for which it has received and is entitled to receive advisory or transaction fees, as applicable, plus out-of-pocket expenses, of the nature and in amounts customary in the industry for such services. See "Management -- Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Financial Advisory Fees."

F-113 F-3 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors American Medserve Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Medserve Corporation as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year and the six months then ended. 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. We did not audit the financial statements of Williamson Drug Company, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, for the period from August 11, 1994 (Date of Acquisition) to June 30, 1995, which statements reflect total assets of $4,564,286 as of June 30, 1995, and total revenues of $4,566,490. Such statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for Williamson Drug Company, Inc. is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Medserve Corporation as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year and the six months then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young Chicago, Illinois April 25, 1996, except for Notes 11 and 14 as to which the date is November 8, 1996 F-4 AMERICAN MEDSERVE CORPORATION CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA) JUNE 30 DECEMBER 31 1995 1995 --------- ------------ JUNE 30 PRO FORMA 1996 FOR ----------- DISTRIBUTION (NOTE 3) JUNE (UNAUDITED) 30 1996 -------------- (UNAUDITED) ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents................................ $ 1,200 $ 1,437 $ 500 $ 500 Accounts receivable, less allowance of $362 at June 30, 1995, $473 at December 31, 1995, and $495 at June 30, 1996.................................................... 7,446 8,403 11,313 11,313 Due from minority owner affiliates....................... 126 44 319 319 Inventories.............................................. 3,321 3,939 4,615 4,615 Income taxes receivable.................................. -- -- 571 571 Prepaid expenses and other............................... 119 294 475 475 --------- ------------ ----------- -------------- Total current assets....................................... 12,212 14,117 17,793 17,793 Equipment, net............................................. 1,676 2,084 3,027 3,027 Excess of cost over net assets acquired, less accumulated amortization of $362 at June 30, 1995, $782 at December 31, 1995, and $1,057 at June 30, 1996..................... 22,805 27,829 32,988 32,988 Deferred financing costs, less accumulated amortization of $142 at June 30, 1995, $206 at December 31, 1995, and $62 at June 30, 1996.......................................... 761 871 1,410 1,410 Investment in affiliate.................................... -- -- 6,000 6,000 Other assets............................................... 57 96 612 612 --------- ------------ ----------- -------------- Total assets............................................... $ 37,511 $ 44,997 $ 61,830 $ 61,830 --------- ------------ ----------- -------------- --------- ------------ ----------- -------------- LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities: Accounts payable......................................... $ 1,974 $ 2,170 $ 2,432 $ 2,432 Preferential distribution payable........................ -- -- -- 24,832 Current portion of long-term debt........................ 3,472 1,191 3,951 3,951 Accrued expenses......................................... 1,367 1,133 1,526 1,526 Note payable to minority owner........................... 500 -- -- -- Current obligations under capital leases................. 75 83 66 66 --------- ------------ ----------- -------------- Total current liabilities.................................. 7,388 4,577 7,975 32,807 Long-term debt, less current portion....................... 15,653 23,477 28,100 28,100 Long-term obligations under capital leases, less current portion................................................... 54 28 67 67 Minority interest.......................................... 1,821 2,168 2,743 2,743 Deferred income taxes...................................... 68 174 109 109 Stockholders' equity:......................................

Effective December 14, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to change the year-end of the Company for financial reporting and tax purposes from June 30 to December 31. 2. ACQUISITIONS On August 11, 1994, the Company acquired 90.0% of the stock of Williamson Drug Company, Inc. ("WDC"), based in Harrisonburg, Virginia, for cash of $2,520, including expenses. The Company may be required to make additional payments aggregating up to $3,000 contingent upon increases in operating income for each of the years ended June 30, 1995 through June 30, 1999. No contingent payments were made during the year ended June 30, 1995 or the six months ended December 31, 1995 and $14 was paid during the six months ended June 30, 1996. On March 9, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Nihan & Martin, Inc., based in Rockford, Illinois, for cash of $9,942, including expenses. The seller retained approximately 15.8% of the stock of Nihan & Martin, Inc. On April 15, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Extended Care Associates, Inc., located in Lynchburg, Virginia, for cash of $1,200, including expenses and approximately 3.0% of the stock of WDC, which had a fair value of $19. The Company may be required to make additional payments aggregating up to $1,000 contingent upon increases in operating income for each of the years ended June 30, 1996 through June 30, 2000. No contingent payments were made during the year ended June 30, 1995, the six months ended December 31, 1995 or the six months ended June 30, 1996. On April 17, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Dixon Pharmacy, Inc., based in Dixon, Illinois, for cash of $3,734, including expenses. The seller retained approximately 20.0% of the stock of Dixon Pharmacy, Inc. During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company also acquired substantially all of the assets of two other less significant companies for cash of $1,509 and $500 note payable to a minority owner. On August 3, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Sterling Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Sterling"), based in Shreveport, Louisiana, for cash of $5,650, including expenses. The seller retained approximately 20.0% of the stock of Sterling Healthcare Services, Inc.

ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) On May 8, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Pharmed, Inc., based in Alexandria, Louisiana, and Pharmed of Baton Rouge, Inc., based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for cash of $6,582, including expenses. The seller retained approximately 20.0% of the stock in each of these companies. The allocation of the purchase price of these acquisitions will be finalized upon the completion of the acquisition date balance sheets, which may result in an adjustment to the purchase price. The acquisition date balance sheet is anticipated to be completed prior to December 31, 1996. To the extent net tangible assets (excluding accounts receivable) as presented in the final acquisition date balance sheet differ from the preliminary acquisition date balance sheet, the acquisition agreement provides for an adjustment to the purchase price equal to that difference. There may also be a decrease in the purchase price related to accounts receivable if the amount subsequently collected is less than the amount on the preliminary acquisition date balance sheet. The Company does not anticipate that the adjustments, if any, will be material to the original purchase price. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company completed three other less significant acquisitions for cash of $548, including expenses, and a note payable to one of the sellers for $100. Each acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price for each respective acquisition was allocated to the respective net assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values at the respective acquisition dates. Obligations related to contingent payments will be reflected as increases to goodwill in the period in which it is probable the contingencies will be resolved. The consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the effective date of the respective acquisition. All of the businesses acquired provide substantially similar products and services as the Company. The minority interests (the Retained Stock) retained by the former owners of the acquired businesses carry certain restrictions and provide the subsidiary and Regional Holdings with rights of first refusal regarding the repurchase of the Retained Stock. The Retained Stock is subject to repurchase at fair market value in the event of the former owner's termination of employment. The Retained Stock is convertible at the option of the Company at any time, and by the holder thereof under certain circumstances (including the sale of the Company or an initial public offering), in each case into shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock (See Note 14). In conjunction with certain of the acquisitions, the entities also entered into administrative services agreements with minority owners whereby the entities may provide or receive certain administrative services with entities directly owned by these minority owners. Net revenues received under these agreements amounted to approximately $65 for the year ended June 30, 1995, and $37 for the six months ended December 31, 1995. See also Note 7 for information concerning leases with minority owners.

ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) Unaudited pro forma data as though the Company had purchased all of the above businesses at the beginning of each of the fiscal periods ending June 30, 1995, the six-month period ending December 31, 1995 and the six month period ending June 30, 1996 are set forth below: YEAR ENDED JUNE 30 SIX MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED 1995 DECEMBER 31, 1995 JUNE 30, 1996 ----------- ----------------- ----------------- Sales................................................. $ 51,124 $ 32,663 $ 36,071 Income before extraordinary item...................... 195 245 280 Net Income (Loss)..................................... 195 245 (157) Income per share before extraordinary item............ .03 .04 .04 Net Income (Loss) Per Share........................... .03 .04 (.02) On April 30, 1996, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan Supply Services, Inc. ("Good Samaritan") for cash of $6,000. Good Samaritan provides pharmaceutical products and services and medical supplies to the long-term care market. This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The difference between the carrying amount of the Company's equity interest in the net assets of Good Samaritan, $3,988, is being amortized over 40 years. The stock of Good Samaritan has been pledged to secure certain debt obligations of Good Samaritan. In connection with this acquisition of a 40% equity interest in Good Samaritan, the Company, Good Samaritan and the other shareholder of Good Samaritan, entered into a shareholders' agreement. Among other things, the shareholders' agreement contains provisions whereby the other shareholder has an option (the "Initial Public Offering Option"), exercisable after an initial public offering of the Company, to convert the shares of Good Samaritan held by it (limited, prior to April 30, 1999, to 10% of the total outstanding shares of Good Samaritan) into shares of the Company's common stock. The shareholders' agreement also contains provisions whereby the other shareholder may demand that the Company purchase any or all shares of Good Samaritan held by the other shareholder in excess of 10% of the total outstanding shares of Good Samaritan (the "Good Samaritan Put"). The Good Samaritan Put becomes effective after April 1, 1999. In addition, the Company has an option whereby it may demand that the other shareholder sell any or all shares of Good Samaritan held by the other shareholder in excess of 10% of the total outstanding shares of Good Samaritan (the "Company Call Option"). The Company Call Option becomes effective after April 1, 2001. The purchase price for additional purchases of stock pursuant to the shareholders' agreement is based on estimated fair value as determined pursuant to a formula agreed to by the Company and Good Samaritan's other shareholder. The formula, based upon several factors, is designed to calculate a price based on the relative fair value of Good Samaritan to the total fair value of the Company at the date of purchase. While the formula is intended to approximate fair value at the date of additional purchase(s), the actual fair value at that date may differ from the amount calculated pursuant to the formula. All additional purchases shall be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company also has the right, upon the occurrence of certain events, including an initial public offering of the Company's common stock, to acquire an additional 10.1% of the total outstanding shares of Good Samaritan in exchange for $2,000.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRO FORMA FOR DISTRIBUTION PRESENTATION (UNAUDITED) The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the one-time mandatory preferential distribution to the Company's principal stockholder, which is payable from the proceeds of an initial public offering. The distribution, estimated at $24,832, will be satisfied through the remittance of $16,913 in cash and the issuance of 565,625 shares of common stock. Pro forma earnings per share data reflects the issuance of these shares as well the issuance of 1,208,036 additional shares of common stock whose proceeds will be used to pay the distribution. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The condensed financial statements at June 30, 1996 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date and of the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Results of the 1996 period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire year. These condensed financial statements do not include all of the interim disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company's 40% equity investment is accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by Company management and are based on management's current judgments. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. The Company will accrue for estimated liabilities when the financial impact is probable and can be estimated by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents, which include financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, are carried at cost which approximates fair market value. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the products or services are provided to the Company's customers and is generally based on the amount invoiced. As significant portions of the Company's revenues are paid through various departments of public aid (Medicaid) and Medicare programs and are subject to adjustment by the programs, the Company monitors its receivables and reports such revenue at the net realizable amounts expected to be received from these programs. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. F-12 AMERICAN MEDSERVE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA) (INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 AND ALL PRO FORMA DATA ARE UNAUDITED) 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) EQUIPMENT Equipment, including capitalized leases and leasehold improvements, is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment is being depreciated or amortized using either straight-line or accelerated methods based on the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease terms as appropriate. Equipment acquired through business combinations is stated at fair value at the date of acquisition. EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED Excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 40 years. The Company has established a policy whereby it will evaluate the recoverability of the excess of cost over net assets acquired on a periodic basis utilizing undiscounted net cash flows of the acquired entities. In management's opinion, no impairment of value of the excess of cost over net assets acquired existed at December 31, 1995 or June 30, 1996. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, a stockholder note receivable, and debt. The fair values of all financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the excess of the estimated fair value of the stock on the measurement date, which is the grant date for stock options and the issue date for other employee stock issuance, over the exercise price of options granted or shares issued to employees. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This statement encourages companies to record compensation costs for stock options granted to employees on the date of grant based on the fair value of these options. Alternatively, it allows companies to continue to measure compensation based on the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value on the date of grant. The Company has elected to continue measuring compensation under Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, and will provide the pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 beginning with the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1996.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) PRO FORMA NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Except as noted below, pro forma net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive, except that, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletins, common and common equivalent shares issued during the 12-month period prior to the initial filing of a proposed offering at prices below the assumed public offering price have been included in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method for stock options, and adjusted for the stock splits described in Note 14. In addition, the shares used in computing pro forma net income (loss) per share have been adjusted to reflect 1,773,661 shares assumed to have been issued for the preferential distribution (See Pro Forma Presentation). RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. 4.

LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt, all of which relates to Regional Holdings, consists of the following: JUNE 30 DECEMBER 31 1995 1995 --------- ------------ Revolving line of credit............................................ $ 1,300 $ 4,000 Acquisition loan.................................................... 10,000 13,722 Term loan........................................................... 7,750 6,861 Other long-term debt................................................ 75 85 --------- ------------ 19,125 24,668 Less: Current portion............................................... 3,472 1,191 --------- ------------ $ 15,653 $ 23,477 --------- ------------ --------- ------------ Amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit, acquisition loan, and term loan were borrowed under a credit agreement with two banks which provided for maximum borrowings of $33,000 (the Original Credit Agreement). The Original Credit Agreement also provided for a $500 letter of credit facility, under which $100 was outstanding at December 31, 1995. On March 22, 1996, Regional Holdings refinanced the amounts then outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement ($24,583) with the same two banks. The New Credit Agreement provides for maximum borrowings in the aggregate of $50,000, consisting of a $10,000 revolving line of credit, a $15,000 revolving acquisition loan facility, and a $25,000 term loan (the New Credit Agreement). The New Credit Agreement also provides for a $500 letter of credit facility. The revolving acquisition loan facility expires on March 15, 1998 and any amounts outstanding under this facility convert to a term loan on that date. Outstanding commitments for the revolving line of credit and the term loans are due on March 15, 2002. The New Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Regional Holdings and its majority-owned subsidiaries. In conjunction with the New Credit Agreement, all issued and outstanding common stock of Regional Holdings was pledged by the Company to secure the debt obligations. As a result of the refinancing of the Original Credit Agreement, Regional Holdings wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs of $841 at March 22, 1996, resulting in an extraordinary charge of $437, net of taxes, and capitalized the financing costs associated with the New Credit Agreement. The interest rates initially established under the credit agreements were the lead bank's floating rate, defined as the higher of the bank's corporate base rate or the federal funds' rate plus one half of 1%, plus an applicable floating rate margin (as defined within the credit agreements). At Regional Holdings' option, Regional Holdings can convert the interest rate to the London Interbank Borrowing Rate (LIBOR), plus an applicable Eurodollar rate margin (as defined within the credit agreements). The floating rate margin and Eurodollar rate margin used to establish the effective interest rates decrease as Regional Holdings' leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreements) declines. Interest is generally payable on a quarterly basis at a minimum. The weighted-average interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 9.50% and 9.25% at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are limited to specified percentages of eligible inventories and accounts receivable, as defined within the credit agreement. Regional Holdings had $900,000 available under the revolving line of credit at December 31, 1995. The credit agreement also provides for a 0.50% commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit and revolving acquisition loan facility. F-15 AMERICAN MEDSERVE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA) (INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 AND ALL PRO FORMA DATA ARE UNAUDITED) 6. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) The interest rate under the acquisition loan is LIBOR (6.03% and 5.67% at June 30, 1995, and December 31, 1995, respectively) plus 2.75%. The interest rate under the term loan is LIBOR (6.125% and 5.69% at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, respectively) plus 2.75%. The LIBOR rate in effect for both the acquisition and term loans represents the LIBOR rate on the date Regional Holdings exercises its option to convert from the bank's floating rate. The New Credit Agreement contains various provisions and covenants, which include: (i) restrictions on Regional Holdings' ability to pay dividends and to incur additional indebtedness; (ii) limitations on future capital expenditures; (iii) restrictions on the disposition of property; and (iv) restrictions on the issuance and repurchase of capital stock. Regional Holdings has also agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, including interest expense coverage, fixed charge coverage, maximum leverage, and minimum operating income (all as defined within the New Credit Agreement). Future maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 1995 based on the provisions of the New Credit Agreement, are as follows: 1996.............................................................. $ 1,191 1997.............................................................. 3,019 1998.............................................................. 3,593 1999.............................................................. 3,624 2000 and thereafter............................................... 13,241 --------- $ 24,668 --------- --------- In May 1995, Regional Holdings entered into a 15-month interest rate cap agreement with a bank, whereby the bank has agreed to reimburse Regional Holdings during periods in which the floating rate, as defined, on $4,000 of notional amount of debt exceeds the interest rate cap of 8.00%. Regional Holdings bears the market risk that arises from changes in interest rates and the credit risk should the bank fail to perform under the interest rate cap agreement. If the interest rate cap agreement were terminated on June 30, 1996, no significant gain or loss would be recognized by Regional Holdings. Payments, if any, received with respect to this agreement are reflected as an adjustment to interest expense. There can be no assurance that the strategy in relation to this interest rate cap agreement will be effective. Regional Holdings is amortizing the cost of this agreement ratably over the life of the agreement. The unamortized cost of this agreement in the amount of $30 and $15 at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, respectively, is included in other assets. On June 23, 1995, Regional Holdings entered into a one-year interest rate swap agreement, effective on September 22, 1995, to hedge the impact of changes in interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement converts the interest rate on $7,500 of notional amount of debt to a fixed rate of 5.48%. If the interest rate swap agreement were terminated on June 30, 1996, no significant gain or loss would be realized by Regional Holdings. Net payments made or received on interest rate swap agreements that qualify as hedges are reflected as adjustments to interest expense. Realized gains and losses resulting from the termination of interest rate swap agreements are recognized over the remaining term of the underlying debt. Unrealized gains and losses from interest rate swap agreements are deferred until realized. The notional amounts related to the above agreements are not reflected on the Company's balance sheets.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases certain property and equipment under various noncancelable operating and capital leases. These leases contain various terms and provide for renewal at prevailing market rates. Future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating and capital leases having an initial term of more than one year as of December 31, 1995, are as follows: OPERATING CAPITAL LEASES LEASES ----------- ----------- 1996..................................................................... $ 630 $ 89 1997..................................................................... 500 28 1998..................................................................... 381 9 1999..................................................................... 257 6 2000..................................................................... 89 1 ----------- --- $ 1,857 133 ----------- ----------- Less: Amounts representing interest...................................... 22 --- Capital lease obligations................................................ 111 Less: Current portion.................................................... 83 --- $ 28 --- --- The Company also assumed liabilities for certain leased properties and equipment of the entities acquired during the six months ended June 30, 1996. In conjunction with certain of the acquisitions, subsidiaries of Regional Holdings entered into noncancelable operating lease agreements for office and facility space with minority owners. Future minimum lease payments included in the above table relating to these agreements are $163, $164, $149, $159, and $43 for the years ending December 31, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively. Rent expense amounted to $302 and $382 for the year ended June 30, 1995, and for the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively, of which approximately $69,000 and $85,000, respectively, related to the leases entered into with minority owners. 8.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The Company has shares of Class A and Class B common stock authorized, issued, and outstanding. Class A and B common stock are identical with respect to voting rights. Approval of certain matters requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A. The holders of Class A are also entitled to a liquidation preference in the amount of original cost plus a 7.2% annual yield thereon. In the event the Board and the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A and B common stock, voting as a single class, approve an initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement, the stockholders shall take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of the offering. Upon the occurrence of a public offering, the Company shall, at the request of a majority of the holders of Class A, make a distribution to such holders in the amount of the lesser of (a) 25% of the net proceeds from the offering (after deducting all discounts and reasonable expenses) or (b) the amount of all Unpaid Yield plus Unreturned Original Cost, as each term is defined in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. F-18 AMERICAN MEDSERVE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA) (INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 AND ALL PRO FORMA DATA ARE UNAUDITED) 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) Pursuant to an agreement between the Class A and Class B stockholders, to the extent that the Class A shareholders acquire an equity interest in excess of $12,500, the Class B shareholders are required to forfeit shares of common stock based on a formula as defined in the agreement. The Class B shareholder has forfeited approximately 11% of his shares as a result of this agreement. See Note 14 regarding the adoption by the Company of an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company adopted certain profit-sharing and 401(k) plans as previously established by certain acquired businesses. The plans cover substantially all full-time employees (as defined in the plans) of the acquired businesses. Employees can elect to make pretax contributions of a percentage of their annual compensation, not to exceed IRS limitations. Certain of the plans provide for discretionary matching or profit-sharing contributions in which participants vest over three to five years. Contributions of $23 and $38 were made to these plans during the year ended June 30, 1995, and the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively. 11. STOCK OPTION PLANS During 1995, the Company approved the formation of stock option plans, which provide for the issuance of up to 5% of the outstanding common stock of certain of the acquired subsidiaries to key employees of those subsidiaries. No options to purchase shares of common stock were granted during the year ended June 30, 1995 or the six months ended December 31, 1995. In June 1996 the Company granted subsidiary stock options under these plans. The exercise prices of the options were at amounts considered to be greater than the fair value of the underlying subsidiary stock. In August 1996, these subsidiary options were converted into options to acquire an aggregate of 146,635 shares of Company common stock. The average exercise price of these options is $7.31 per share, determined based on a conversion formula. The options generally vest over seven years, beginning from the date of the various subsidiary acquisitions. At June 30, 1996, 48,186 shares were vested and exercisable. The difference between the exercise prices and the fair value of the shares is $262, of which $86 will be recorded as compensation expense in the third quarter of 1996, with the remaining $176 recognized over the seven-year vesting period of the options. 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The majority stockholder of the Company provides strategic financial and management consulting services in conjunction with a five-year agreement for which it charges the Company a management fee. The management fee expense amounted to $33 and $25 for the year ended June 30, 1995, and the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively. Upon the issuance of any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company has agreed to pay the majority stockholder an investment fee of 1% of the capital received by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company has not paid any investment fees to this stockholder. On December 3, 1993, the Company entered into a Senior Management Agreement (Agreement) with an Executive, whereby this Executive was granted the right to purchase a number of shares, as defined in the Agreement, of the Company's Class B common stock (Executive Stock) at fair value. F-19 AMERICAN MEDSERVE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA) (INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 AND ALL PRO FORMA DATA ARE UNAUDITED) 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) Shares acquired are vested over a seven-year period, as specified in the Agreement. Such vesting shall accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined in the Agreement. If the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason, the Company (or if the Company fails to exercise the option, the majority stockholder) has a right of repurchase on both vested and unvested shares. Unvested shares may be repurchased at the lesser of the Executive's cost or the fair market value of such shares, and vested shares may be repurchased at fair market value. The Executive has the right to require the Company to repurchase any vested shares, upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined in the Agreement. Other than the right to repurchase unvested shares, such rights of the Company, the majority stockholder and the Executive terminate upon a sale of the Company or a Qualified Public Offering, as defined in the Agreement. On August 2, 1994, the Executive exercised his right to purchase 78,671 shares of Class B common stock (pre-split and reclassification) in exchange for cash of $35 and a note of $35. The note is secured by a stock pledge agreement. Subsequently, the Executive forfeited approximately 11% of his shares (see Note 9). The Agreement provides employment to the Executive and continues until terminated by the Executive or the Company and provides for salary continuation for a specified number of months under certain circumstances, as defined. Subsidiaries of Regional Holdings purchase and sell pharmaceuticals and medical supplies from and to entities owned by minority owners. Purchases of these items totaled approximately $111 and $831 during the year ended June 30, 1995, and the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively. Sales of these items totaled $285 and $340 during the year ended June 30, 1995 and the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively. $127 and $145 are included in amounts due from minority owners at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, respectively. 13. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable due from Medicaid and Medicare, third-party insurance companies, and individuals in various geographic locations. Credit risks with respect to these receivables are limited due to the large number of patients comprising the Company's customer base. 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS During August 1996, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement (bridge loan) with a bank in the amount of $5,000. The bridge loan matures on January 2, 1997. The bridge loan bears interest at the floating prime rate (as defined in the bridge loan). Obligations outstanding under the bridge loan are guaranteed by the Company's Class A stockholder (the Guaranty). The bridge loan contains various convenants, the most restrictive of which include: (1) limitations on the disposition of assets; and (2) restrictions on the acquisitions of assets or stock of other entities, including entering into joint venture agreements. The Guaranty provides the Class A stockholder the right to receive equity securities (as defined) of the Company upon the happenings of certain events as defined. On August 5, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Royal Care of American, Inc., based in Malta, New York, for cash of $7,897, including expenses, and a convertible note for $2,000. The convertible note bears interest at 8.75% and is convertible into the Company's F-20 AMERICAN MEDSERVE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA) (INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 AND ALL PRO FORMA DATA ARE UNAUDITED) 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED) common stock by dividing the aggregate principal amount of the note, plus accrued interest thereon, by 85% of the value of the common stock. The allocation of the purchase price of this acquisition will be finalized upon the completion of the acquisition date balance sheet, which may result in an adjustment to the purchase price. The acquisition date balance sheet is anticipated to be completed prior to December 31, 1996. To the extent net tangible assets as presented in the final acquisition date balance sheet differs from the preliminary acquisition date balance sheet, the acquisition agreement provides for an adjustment to the purchase price equal to that difference. The Company does not anticipate that the adjustment, if any, will be material to the original purchase price. In August 1996, the Company elected to convert the minority interests retained by the former owners of the acquired businesses (Retained Stock) into shares of the Company's common stock. In connection therewith, the Company issued 794,581 shares of common stock based upon a conversion formula as defined in each of the respective acquisition agreements. The fair value of the shares at the date of issuance was $9.10 per share. The conversion of the Retained Stock will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and is expected to result in additional goodwill of $4,488. In September 1996, the Company issued 310,208 shares of common stock to certain directors and members of management for a purchase price of $1.41 per share. The Company received cash proceeds of $44 and $394 of demand notes receivable in connection with this sale. The demand notes bear interest at the "corporate base rate" of a specified bank. The fair value of the shares at the date of issuance was $2,823. The shares issued will be fully vested by December 31, 1996. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the shares, $2,385, will be recorded as compensation expense in the third and fourth quarters of 1996. During the period July 1, 1996 through October 15, 1996, the Company completed three other less significant acquisitions for cash of $1,559, including expenses, a note payable to a seller for $67 and 33,620 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company may be required to make additional payments aggregating up to $500 contingent upon increases in operating income for one of the acquisitions. No contingent payments were made during the six months ended June 30, 1996. On February 13, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a ten-for-one reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. This reverse stock split was reflected in the financial statements as of December 31, 1995. In November 1996 the Company adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, pursuant to which (i) the Company authorized 30,000,000 shares of a new class of common stock, designated as shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (Common Stock), and (ii) each previously issued and outstanding share of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock was reclassified as 69.65 shares of such newly-authorized Common Stock. Accordingly, unless specified otherwise, all references in these financial statements to income per share and stock option data have been restated to reflect this reclassification. Retroactive effect has also been given thereto in the June 30, 1996 pro forma balance sheet and the statement of stockholders' equity.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of G.S.H.C., Inc. and the Contract Services Division of Louis F.

F-26 G.S.H.C., INC. AND THE CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISION OF LOUIS F. GATTI, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1994 TO AUGUST 2, 1994 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of G.S.H.C., Inc. (GSHC), and the Contract Services Division of Louis F. Gatti, Inc. (LFG), (the Companies), which are affiliated through common ownership. The accounts of LFG reflect all expenses incurred by LFG's parent on its behalf. All significant intercompany and interdivisional balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Companies provide pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, intravenous therapies, and related products and consulting services to patients in long-term care and assisted living facilities throughout the state of Pennsylvania. On August 1, 1994, Louis F. Gatti, Inc. declared a dividend of the retail division of Louis F. Gatti, to its sole stockholder. On August 2, 1994, American Medserve Corporation (AMC) acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of GSHC in exchange for cash of $6,500,000 and acquired 80% of the voting stock of Louis F. Gatti, Inc. for approximately $2,500,000. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the combined financial statements prepared by management of the Companies and are based on management's current judgments. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. The Companies will, when determined necessary, accrue for estimated liabilities when the financial impact is probable and can be estimated by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the products or services are provided to the Companies' customers and is generally based on the amounts invoiced. As a significant portion of the Companies' revenues are paid through the Pennsylvania Department of Public Aid (Medicaid) and Medicare programs and are subject to adjustment by the programs, the Companies monitor their receivables and report such revenue at the net realizable amounts expected to be received from these programs. At December 31, 1993 and August 2, 1994, net accounts receivable subject to adjustment under these programs amounted to approximately $772,000 and $926,000, respectively. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. EQUIPMENT Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment is being depreciated or amortized using either straight-line or accelerated methods based on the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, as appropriate. Equipment acquired through business combinations accounted for as purchases is stated at fair value at the date of acquisition. EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED Excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 20 years. GSHC has established a policy whereby it will evaluate the recoverability of the F-27 G.S.H.C., INC. AND THE CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISION OF LOUIS F. GATTI, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1994 TO AUGUST 2, 1994 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) excess of cost over net assets acquired on a periodic basis utilizing undiscounted net cash flows of the acquired entity. In management's opinion, no impairment of value of the excess of cost over net assets acquired exists at December 31, 1993 or August 2, 1994. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are comprised primarily of noncompete agreements entered into in conjunction with the July 1990 acquisition of GSHC whereby GSHC agreed to pay to its former owners the amount of $500,000. The noncompete agreements are being amortized using the straight line method over the five year term of the agreements. Amortization expense relating to these noncompete agreements was $100,000 and $58,333 for the year ended December 31, 1993, and for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994, respectively. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Companies' financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, a note receivable, income taxes receivable, amounts due to and from related parties, and notes payable. The fair values of all financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values. 3. ACQUISITION On June 14, 1994, GSHC acquired certain assets of an institutional pharmacy located in Allentown, Pennsylvania in exchange for cash of approximately $212,000. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the respective net assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values at the acquisition date. The combined statements of income include the results of operations of the acquired entity from June 14, 1994. Had this institutional pharmacy been acquired on January 1, 1994, revenues and operating income of the company would not have been significantly different than those presented. 4. EQUIPMENT Equipment consists of the following: DECEMBER 31 1993 AUGUST 2 1994 ------------ ------------- Equipment under capital leases................................... $ 82,000 $ 166,026 Transportation equipment......................................... 75,496 103,085 Furniture, fixtures and equipment................................ 741,232 1,042,827 Leasehold improvements........................................... 7,827 9,868 ------------ ------------- 906,555 1,321,806 Accumulated depreciation and amortization........................

In conjunction with the acquisition referred to in Note 3, GSHC was advanced $200,000 via a note bearing interest at 8% per annum by the parent company of the entity which acquired GSHC on August 2, 1994 (Note 1). The note is secured by substantially all the assets of GHSC, as defined. The note was repaid in conjunction with the acquisition. The Companies routinely purchase inventory at cost from related entities. The purchases from these related entities were $104,567, and $46,813 for the year ended December 31, 1993, and for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994, respectively. The Companies, along with related entities, routinely engage in intercompany advances and borrowings with funds received under the debt arrangements (Note 6) of the Companies, in addition to those entered into by related entities. These advances and borrowings bear interest at prevailing market rates. Such amounts are recorded in amounts due from and to related parties. Additionally, the Companies guaranteed the debt of certain of these related entities totaling $500,000 and $845,000 at December 31, 1993 and August 2, 1994, respectively.

NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED) The Company has equipment loans with various institutions with maturity dates through 1996. Such loans bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 11%. $27,872 and $118,738, respectively, were outstanding on these loans at December 31, 1993 and August 2, 1994. Notes payable include amounts due in conjunction with a consulting agreement (Note 10) and are $118,587 and $61,574 at December 31, 1993 and August 2, 1994, respectively. 8. S CORPORATION ELECTION The stockholder of GSHC elected to be taxed as an S corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code effective July 1, 1990. The stockholder of LFG elected S Corporation treatment effective August 1, 1993. The Companies were not subject to federal income taxes after such election as the income of the Companies is included in the taxable income of its respective stockholders. 9. INCOME TAXES In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." LFG adopted the provisions of the new standard in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1992. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Prior to the adoption of Statement 109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred method. Deferred tax expense was based on items of income and expense that were reported in different years in the financial statements and tax returns and were measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the difference originated. LFG files consolidated federal and state income tax returns with the Retail Division of Louis F. Gatti, Inc. For purposes of financial statement presentation, LFG's provision for income taxes has been computed as if LFG were filing federal and state income tax returns on an individual basis. Those amounts calculated as payable by LFG in excess of those due to governmental entities are recorded in amounts due from related parties (Note 7) and are $98,928 and $11,044, respectively, at December 31, 1993 and August 2, 1994. The provision for income taxes consists of the following: DECEMBER 31 AUGUST 2 1993 1994 ------------ --------- Current: Federal........................................................... $ 69,927 $ -- State............................................................. 57,508 24,299 ------------ --------- 127,435 24,299 Deferred............................................................ 15,278 -- ------------ --------- $ 142,713 $ 24,299 ------------ --------- ------------ --------- The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1993 substantially represents the income taxes of LFG prior to LFG electing S Corporation status, as well as $15,278 of income taxes in conjunction with LFG electing such status. The difference between the financial statement provision for income taxes and the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% is related principally to state income taxes. F-31 G.S.H.C., INC.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Companies, along with a related entity, established a 401(k) and profit-sharing plan covering substantially all full-time employees (as defined) who have completed one year of service. Employees can elect to make pre-tax contributions of a percentage of their annual compensation not to exceed IRS limitations. All contributions by the Companies are made at the discretion of each Companies' Board of Directors. Participants cliff vest in employer contributions after completing five years of service with the Companies. Contributions of $5,225 and $3,196 were made to this plan for the year ended December 31, 1993, and for the period from January 1, 1994 to August 2, 1994, respectively. The Companies, with the entity noted above, also sponsor a defined benefit pension plan (Plan). During 1991, the Board of Directors of a related entity authorized the termination of the Plan, and effective December 31, 1991, the Plan was frozen. Plan participants became fully vested at this time. The Companies' recognized no curtailment loss in 1991 as a result of the Plan termination, and no gain or loss was recognized when the Plan's benefit obligation was settled in 1996. 14. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Companies to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable due from Medicaid and Medicare, third-party insurance companies, and individuals in various geographic locations. Credit risks with respect to these receivables are limited due to the large number of patients comprising each Companies' customer base. 15. JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT During 1992, GSHC entered into a joint venture agreement with an unrelated party to provide pharmaceutical products and intravenous therapies to residents in long-term care and assisted living facilities in exchange for cash of $20,000. During February 1993, GSHC agreed to sell its interest in the joint venture and all related assets in exchange for cash of $92,339 and a non-interest-bearing note receivable for $40,000.

As a health care provider, the Company is dependent on third party insurance, the Illinois Department of Public Aid and Medicare for a portion of its collections. ACCOUNTING METHOD: The Company follows the accrual method of accounting. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For the purposes of the statement of cash flows the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES: The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. INCOME TAXES: Deferred income taxes are provided on timing differences between financial statement and taxable income using the liability method. The timing differences arose principally from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for income tax purposes (Note N). DEPRECIATION: Depreciation of property and equipment is computed under the straight-line, double declining balance, accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) and modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) methods. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: YEARS --------- Buildings and improvements......................................................... 6 - 40 Furniture, fixtures and equipment.................................................. 5 - 10 Transportation equipment........................................................... 3 - 12 Rental and investment property..................................................... 15 - 18 Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized.

That agreement resulted in the purchase of eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of Dixon Pharmacy, Inc. immediately subsequent to the close of business on April 17, 1995. In addition, certain liabilities associated with the aforementioned assets totalling $130,400 were assumed by the stockholders as part of the same agreement.

Technicare Medical Supply provides home medical equipment, respiratory care, and related home care services. (H) CHANGE IN INVENTORY METHOD: During the period which began November 1, 1994 and ended April 17, 1995, the Company changed its method of determining quantities of inventory from counting only closed bottles of F-40 DIXON PHARMACY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) APRIL 17, 1995 (H) CHANGE IN INVENTORY METHOD: (CONTINUED) pharmaceutical products (the "closed bottle" method) to counting all opened and unopened bottles of pharmaceutical products (the "open bottle" method) to more closely conform with industry practice. The Company believes the "open bottle" method more accurately reflects a realistic picture of the Company's overall financial progress. The effect of the change was to increase net income for the period which began November 1, 1994 and ended April 17, 1995 by $173,080.

NOTE 2 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: The Company sold substantially all of its operating assets to Williamson Drug Company, Inc., a subsidiary of American Medserve Corporation. The asset sales agreement was executed April 14, 1995, effective as of the close of business on April 15, 1995. The amounts reflected in this financial statement are as of the close of business on April 15, 1995 and are prior to the sale of the operating assets. Assets sold include cash on hand and in checking accounts (excluding $20,295 in the money market account), all accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, leasehold improvements and equipment. Other assets consisting of investment in marketable securities and deferred organizational and loan costs were excluded from the sale. Effective with the sale of the operating assets the name of the corporation was changed from Extended Care Associates, Inc. to OG Enterprises, Inc. Subsequent to the sale of the Company's operating assets, the Company repaid the short-term and long-term debt reflected in this financial statement. During the period from April 1, 1995 through April 15, 1995 the Company incurred legal fees of $10,000 in connection with the sale of these assets.

Inventory has been valued using the last-in, first-out method for income tax reporting purposes in prior years. F-46 EXTENDED CARE ASSOCIATES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 3 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED) DEPRECIATION Depreciation is calculated in this financial statement using the straight-line method for all assets. The depreciation method is designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: ASSET YEARS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Office equipment............................................................. 5-7 Nursing home equipment....................................................... 5-7 Leasehold improvements....................................................... 8 Accelerated methods and lives have been used by the Company for income tax reporting purposes. INCOME TAXES The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code whereby, the stockholders are taxed on their share of the corporation's earnings. Therefore, no provision for income taxes payable is included in this financial statement. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Borrowings are payable on demand and interest is payable monthly at prime plus 2%.

The loan agreement limits the Company's ability to incur additional debt or pay dividends without the prior consent of the Bank.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company provides pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, intravenous therapies, and related products and consulting services to patients in long-term care and assisted living facilities within the United States. The Company began operations in October 1992 and is a subsidiary of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Foundation (the Foundation). The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 2. ACQUISITION In June 1994, the Company acquired certain assets (principally equipment and inventory) of a pharmacy located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. The total cost of the acquisition was $2,338,000. As a result of the acquisition, goodwill was recorded in the amount of $1,611,000. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the Company's financial statements include the operating results of the acquired business from the effective date of the acquisition. Unaudited proforma data as though the Company had purchased the above business at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 1994 are set forth below: Sales......................................................... $11,805,396 Net Income.................................................... 28,218 In January 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of an institutional pharmacy located in Colorado. The total purchase price of $534,400 consisted of a $434,400 cash payment and a $100,000 seller note. In conjunction with the above acquisition as well as for additional working capital purposes, the Company borrowed the $1,000,000 available under its existing term loan facility (Note 6). 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed financial statements at April 30, 1996 and for the four months then ended are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date and of the operating results and cash flows for that period. Results of the 1996 period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire year. These condensed financial statements do not include all of the disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by Company management and are based on management's current judgments. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. The Company will, when determined necessary, accrue for estimated liabilities when the financial impact is probable and can be estimated by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents, which include financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, are carried at cost which approximates market. F-53 GOOD SAMARITAN SUPPLY SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995 AND THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED) 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the products or services are provided to the Company's customers. As a significant portion of the Company's revenues are paid through various departments of public aid (Medicaid) and Medicare programs and are subject to adjustment by the programs, the Company monitors its receivables and reports such revenue at the net realizable amounts expected to be received from these programs. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. The cost of goods sold recognized by the Company consists principally of cost of products and medical supplies. EQUIPMENT Equipment, including capitalized leases and leasehold improvements, is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (which range from five to ten years) or the lease term as appropriate. EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED Excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 years. The Company has established a policy whereby it will evaluate the recoverability of the excess of cost over net assets acquired on a periodic basis utilizing undiscounted net cash flows of the acquired entities. In management's opinion, no impairment of value of the excess of cost over net assets acquired existed at December 31, 1995. OTHER ASSETS Other assets consist of noncompete agreements and organizational costs. The noncompete agreements are being amortized over three years using the straight-line method. Organizational costs are being amortized over five years using the straight-line method. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advances from a related party, and debt. The fair values of all financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values. F-54 GOOD SAMARITAN SUPPLY SERVICES, INC.

Credit risks with respect to these receivables are limited due to the large number of patients comprising the Company's customer base. 12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On April 30, 1996, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement whereby it sold 666.67 shares of common stock to American Medserve Corporation (AMC), in exchange for $6,000,000.

Among other things, the agreement contains a provision whereby the Foundation may demand that AMC purchase any or all shares of Company stock held by the Foundation in excess of 10% of total outstanding shares.

The cost of goods sold recognized by the Company consists principally of cost of products and medical supplies.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents, which include financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, are carried at cost which approximates market. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by Company management and are based on management's current judgments. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. The Company will, when determined necessary, accrue for estimated liabilities when the financial impact is probable and can be estimated by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the products or services are provided to the Company's customers. As a significant portion of the Company's revenues are paid through the Illinois Department of Public Aid (Medicaid) and Medicare programs and are subject to adjustment by the programs, the Company monitors its receivables and reports such revenue at the net realizable amounts expected to be received from these programs. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. The cost of goods sold recognized by the Company consists principally of cost of products and medical supplies. EQUIPMENT DEPRECIATION Equipment, consisting principally of office and transportation equipment, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment is depreciated or amortized using either straight-line or accelerated methods based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. FRANCHISE FEES AMORTIZATION Franchise fees are being amortized over a period of ten years. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and debt.

FRANCHISE AGREEMENT A portion of the Company's operations are based on a franchise agreement with a pharmaceutical equipment company. In addition to an initial franchise fee, the Company is required to pay the franchisor a monthly royalty fee based on a percentage of net sales. These royalty fees totaled $133,338, $132,110, and $21,665 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the period from January 1, 1995 to March 8, 1995, respectively. 4. LEASES AND RENTAL EXPENSE OPERATING LEASES The Company leases certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through February 1999 and certain leases contain renewal options. Future minimum lease payments are as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 - ------------------------------------------------- 1995............................................. $ 116,273 1996............................................. 116,273 1997............................................. 117,678 1998............................................. 77,758 1999............................................. 12,600 --------- $ 440,582 --------- --------- Rent expense amounted to $108,000, $118,400, and $22,518 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the period from January 1, 1995 to March 8, 1995, respectively. 5. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company had deferred compensation agreements with a former officer and a current officer of the Company. On December 31, 1994, the former officer received a lump sum payment of $240,000 as settlement of all future obligations under the agreement. The remaining agreement with the current officer requires payments of $24,000 annually to the officer or his beneficiary or surviving spouse through August 2000. The Company has recorded a liability of $205,749 which represents the estimated present value (using a discount rate of 10%) of the benefits payable under the remaining agreement as of December 31, 1994. This liability was paid in full during the period ended March 8, 1995. The expense under the agreements was $78,000 and $49,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. No expense was recorded during the period ended March 8, 1995. The Company has also entered into an employment contract with a current employee. The agreement provides a guaranteed minimum annual salary of $20,000 through June, 1996. The Company has recorded a liability and a related prepaid expense for $20,000 which represents the balance of the agreement to be paid as of December 31, 1994. F-69 NIHAN & MARTIN, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1994 AND THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1995 TO MARCH 8, 1995 5. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS (CONTINUED) The agreement also provides for payments of $1,250 a month through June 1996 in consideration for the employee's agreement not to compete. These payments are recorded as expense when due. 6. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLAN The Company has an employee benefit plan (Plan) which covers substantially all of its full-time employees (as defined in the Plan). Employees can elect to make pretax contributions of a percentage of their annual compensation, not to exceed IRS limitations. Company contributions are at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. Company contributions of $90,000, $75,000, and $10,804 were made to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the period from January 1, 1995 to March 8, 1995. 7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable due from Medicaid, Medicare, third-party insurance companies, and individuals in various geographic locations. Credit risks with respect to these receivables are limited due to the large number of patients comprising the Company's customer base.

F-75 PHARMED, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND UNAUDITED FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1996 TO MAY 8, 1996 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Pharmed, Inc. (the Company) provides pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, intravenous and respiratory therapies, and related products and consulting services to patients in long-term care and assisted living facilities throughout the State of Louisiana. On May 8, 1996, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and liabilities to Sterling Healthcare Services, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of AMC Regional Holdings, Inc. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed financial statements at May 8, 1996 and for the period then ended are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date and of the operating results and cash flows for that period. Results of the 1996 period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire year. These condensed financial statements do not include all of the disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by Company management and are based on management's current judgments. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. The Company will, when determined necessary, accrue for estimated liabilities when the financial impact is probable and can be estimated by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the products or services are provided to the Company's customers and is generally based on the amounts invoiced. As a significant portion of the Company's revenues are paid through the Louisiana Department of Public Aid (Medicaid) and Medicare programs and are subject to adjustment by the programs, the Company monitors its receivables and reports such revenue at the net realizable amounts expected to be received from these programs. At December 31, 1994 and 1995, net accounts receivable subject to adjustment under these programs amounted to approximately $376,000 and $305,000, respectively. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. The cost of goods sold recognized by the Company consists principally of cost of products and medical supplies. EQUIPMENT Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment is being depreciated or amortized using either straight-line or accelerated methods based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to and from related parties. The fair values of all financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values. F-76 PHARMED, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND UNAUDITED FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1996 TO MAY 8, 1996 3.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company routinely engaged in advances and borrowings with related entities of which the stockholder of the Company is the sole stockholder. Such amounts are due on demand and noninterest bearing, and are recorded in amounts due to and from related parties. The Company's sole stockholder routinely engaged in transactions of a personal nature with the Company unrelated to the operations of the institutional pharmacy. Cash advanced to the stockholder for these purposes has been reflected as amounts due from related parties on the Company's balance sheets. The Company routinely purchases inventory at cost from related entities. The Company also sells such inventories at cost to these entities. The purchases from related entities were $859,963 for the year ended December 31, 1994, and sales to these entities were $115,037 and $111,824 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company leases certain office space on a month to month basis from a related entity of which the Company's stockholder is the sole owner. Rent expense under this agreement was $48,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. Amounts due from affiliated entities consist of the following: DECEMBER 31 ------------------------ 1994 1995 ----------- ----------- Pharmed of Baton Rouge, Inc......................................... $ 250,023 $ 350,023 JV Properties....................................................... -- 1,938 ----------- ----------- $ 250,023 $ 351,961 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- F-77 PHARMED, INC.

S CORPORATION ELECTION The stockholder of the Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal or state income taxes as the income of the Company is included in the taxable income of its stockholder. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases certain property and equipment under various noncancelable operating leases. These leases contain various terms and provide for renewal at prevailing market rates. Future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases are as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31: - ------------------------------------------------------------- 1996......................................................... $ 37,368 1997......................................................... 37,368 1998......................................................... 22,110 1999......................................................... 15,120 2000......................................................... 10,697 ----------- $ 122,663 ----------- ----------- Rent expense amounted to approximately $80,932 and $77,787 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. 8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable due from Medicaid and Medicare, third-party insurance companies, and individuals in various geographic locations. Credit risks with respect to these receivables are limited due to the large number of patients comprising the Company's customer base. 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS During January 1996, the Company purchased assets of an institutional pharmacy in Alexandria, Louisiana, in exchange for cash of $221,000. $120,000 of the purchase price is payable in monthly installments of $10,000 through January, 1997. Payments subsequent to July, 1996 are contingent upon certain conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement. Goodwill recorded in conjunction with this purchase is included in excess of cost over net assets acquired on the Company's unaudited balance sheet and is being amortized using the straight line method over a period of 20 years.

During 1995, Royal Care of America, Inc. and Subsidiaries acquired two businesses for cash payments of $459 and a note payable of $100. Of the purchase price, $34 was allocated to inventory, $73 was allocated to property, plant and equipment, $50 was allocated to a non-compete agreement and the balance was recorded as goodwill. The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. F-83 ROYAL CARE OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS) 1. BASES OF PRESENTATION AND REPORTING ENTITY Royal Care of America, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), located in Malta, New York, is a distributor of pharmaceuticals to nursing homes, adult care homes and other institutions located in upstate New York. The Company is also engaged in the sale of products for adult medical-nutritional needs, hi-tech wound care and urological ostomy supplies to patients primarily in upstate New York and also in Michigan, Florida, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio. On August 5, 1996, the Company sold the majority of its assets and transferred its liabilities, except for the restricted cash, Mezzanine debt and amounts due to unaffiliated company, to Royal Care Holdings, Inc. ("RCH"), an indirect subsidiary of American Medserve Corporation ("AMC"). The purchase price consisted of $7.8 million of cash and a $2 million convertible promissory note of AMC. RCH may also pay the Company certain contingent amounts based upon earnings of RCH for the six month period ending December 31, 1996. In addition, the purchase price may be increased or decreased by a net worth adjustment based on the closing balance sheet of the Company as of August 5, 1996. Prior to September 1994, the Company was a division of Foster Medical Supply, Inc. ("FMS"). In September 1994, FMS sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities of its medical supply distribution business (the "base business"), to an unaffiliated corporation (see Note 8), and the Company became the sole remaining business of FMS and FMS was renamed Royal Care of America, Inc. The Company is currently involved in a dispute related to the base business sale transaction (see Note 8) and has placed approximately $2,100 in an escrow account and established a corresponding liability to account for this dispute. Included in the accompanying 1994 consolidated statement of operations and changes in accumulated capital is $3,777 which primarily represents the gain on the sale of the base business that was contributed by FMS to the Company. The consolidated statements of operations and changes in accumulated capital and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 have been prepared to present the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company, excluding the results of operations and cash flows of the base business as it operated within FMS. The consolidated statements of operations and changes in accumulated capital include all direct selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense and intangible asset amortization. For the periods prior to September 1, 1994, selling, general and administrative and interest expenses not directly attributable to either the base business or the Company have been allocated to the Company on the proportion of cost of sales during 1993. These charges cover the costs of product distribution, finance and administrative support, management information systems, facilities and corporate expense. For these services, the Company was allocated the following costs: 1993 1994 --------- --------- Selling, general and administrative......................................... $ 1,339 $ 617 Interest expense............................................................ 183 202 These represent approximately 8.7% of the related indirect expenses for the periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1994. Management believes this allocation method is reasonable based on the Company's use of such facilities, services and financing. However, the results of operations presented may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the Company operated as a non-affiliated entity. In September 1994, the Company entered into a purchase and distribution agreement, for all medical supplies, with the acquiror of the base business (see Note 8). The agreement is for cost plus F-84 ROYAL CARE OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS) 1. BASES OF PRESENTATION AND REPORTING ENTITY (CONTINUED) 18%, which includes distribution costs. All costs under this agreement are included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements. Distribution costs incurred prior to September 1994 are included in the allocated indirect selling, general and administrative expenses above. During 1995, the Company entered into a joint venture to provide psychogerontology services to patients in long-term care facilities. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position at June 30, 1996, and the consolidated results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Royal Care of America, Inc., Pharmacy Associates, Inc. and Royal Care Management Services. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those results. NET SALES: Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped or services are provided. A significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived through arrangements with Medicare and Medicaid. As such, the Company is dependent on these payors to carry out its operating activities. INVENTORIES: Inventories consist principally of pharmaceuticals purchased for resale, and are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method. The Company purchases the majority of its items for resale from two suppliers. Prior to the sale of the base business, the Company purchased the majority of its medical supply inventory from the base business at cost. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily from 3 to 5 years. Gains and losses resulting from the disposition of property and equipment are recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Goodwill and agreements not to compete associated with the acquisition of the business are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five to ten years. F-85 ROYAL CARE OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) DEFERRED ORGANIZATION AND FINANCING COSTS: Costs associated with securing financing and organization of the business have been deferred. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Accumulated amortization was $20 and $29 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995. Amortization expense was $11, $39 and $9 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995. INCOME TAXES: The Company has adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 prescribes an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred taxes for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities utilizing current tax rates. The effect of any future change in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and credit carryforwards. 3. FIXED ASSETS The components of fixed assets as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 are summarized below: 1994 1995 --------- --------- Furniture and equipment.................................................. $ 333 $ 455 Leasehold improvements................................................... 112 149 Vehicles................................................................. 59 55 Furniture and equipment under capital lease.............................. 316 316 Vehicles under capital lease............................................. 204 172 --------- --------- 1,024 1,147 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (including accumulated amortization on leased property of $169 and $279 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively)................................................. 325 523 --------- --------- $ 699 $ 624 --------- --------- --------- --------- Depreciation and amortization expense relating to fixed assets was $181, $204 and $233 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995. 4. ACQUISITIONS In 1995, the Company acquired the assets of K&K Pharmacy. The purchase price was $400 which included $50 for a covenant not to compete. The acquisition was paid for in cash and notes. Long-term debt includes $100 relating to the acquisition at December 31, 1995. The fair value of the assets acquired was $123. In December 1995, the Company acquired the assets of another pharmacy in Buffalo, New York. The purchase price was $159 and fair value of assets received was $34. In 1992, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Pharmacy Associates of Glens Falls and in 1993 acquired certain assets of Kinney Drugs, Inc. F-86 ROYAL CARE OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS) 4. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) The difference between the fair value of assets purchased and acquisition price of the above acquisitions has been recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the amounts included in goodwill at December 31, 1994 and 1995: COVENANT BALANCE AT EXCESS NOT TO ACCUMULATED DECEMBER 31, PURCHASE COMPETE AMORTIZATION 1995 ----------- ----------- ------------- ------------- K&K........................................ $ 277 $ 50 $ (72) $ 255 Buffalo.................................... 125 -- -- 125 Pharmacy Associates and Kinney Drugs, Inc....................................... 1,000 750 (791) 959 ----------- ----- ------ ------------- $ 1,402 $ 800 $ (863) $ 1,339 ----------- ----- ------ ------------- ----------- ----- ------ ------------- COVENANT BALANCE AT EXCESS NOT TO ACCUMULATED DECEMBER 31, PURCHASE COMPETE AMORTIZATION 1994 ----------- ----------- ------------- ------------- Pharmacy Associates........................ $ 1,000 $ 750 $ (607) $ 1,143 ----------- ----- ------ ------------- ----------- ----- ------ ------------- In 1994, the Company reduced the Pharmacy Associates excess purchase price to its estimated fair value, which resulted in $350 of additional amortization expense. In addition, effective January 1, 1994, the Company reduced its amortization period for the Pharmacy Associates excess purchase price from twenty years to seven years, to reflect the estimated life of the economic value of that asset. Amortization expense was $51, $480 and $256 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: 1994 1995 --------- --------- Note payable, Mezzanine debt (see Note 7), bearing interest at 14%. Interest payments are due quarterly, principal is due and payable in 8 equal semiannual payments commencing May 31, 1995, with final payment on November 30, 1998. The required payments of $850 were not made during 1995. The lenders have waived the event of default................................... $ 3,400 $ 3,400 Capital leases on various vehicle and equipment, collateralized by the related assets, bearing various market rates of interest, maturing in various years through 2000............ 361 236 Covenant not to compete agreement for Pharmacy Associates acquisition.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS) 5. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) The Mezzanine debt requires certain financial ratios to be met. At December 31, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with maintaining a specified minimum tangible capital base and cash flow ratio. The debt holders have waived these events of default. The Mezzanine debt was paid in August 1996 in conjunction with the sale of the assets of the Company (see Note 1). The aggregate amounts of long-term debt and capital lease obligations maturing in each of the next five years are as follows: LONG-TERM CAPITAL DEBT LEASES ----------- ----------- 1996..................................................................... $ 1,937 $ 153 1997..................................................................... 992 93 1998..................................................................... 997 17 1999..................................................................... 152 2 2000..................................................................... 158 2 Thereafter............................................................... 312 -- ----------- ----- $ 4,548 267 ----------- ----------- Less amount representing interest........................................ 31 ----- Present value of capital leases.......................................... $ 236 ----- ----- 6. INCOME TAXES The components of income taxes are: 1993 1994 1995 --------- --------- --------- Current........................................................... $ 465 $ -- $ -- Deferred.......................................................... (186) -- -- --------- --------- --------- Total......................................................... $ 279 $ -- $ -- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- The difference between the federal statutory tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the maintenance of a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in 1994 and 1995, and to the effect of state taxes and to certain non-deductible expenses in 1993. The temporary difference giving rise to a significant portion of the net deferred tax asset position at December 31, 1994 and 1995 is the net operating loss carryover. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets totaling approximately $3,206 at December 31, 1995, an increase in the valuation allowance of approximately $748 from December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995 the Company has federal net operating loss carryovers for income tax purposes of approximately $7,100. These loss carryovers will begin to expire in 2007. The future benefit, if any, of the Company's net deferred tax assets, including its net operating loss carryovers, will remain with Royal Care of America, Inc. 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Mezzanine debt of $3,400 is due to two of the Company's stockholders. Accrued expenses includes interest of $40 at December 31, 1994 and 1995. Interest expense of $595, $583 and $476 is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995. F-88 ROYAL CARE OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS) 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES CONTINGENT LIABILITY: In August 1994, the Company sold its medical supply distribution base business to an unaffiliated corporation. As a result of this sale, there is a disputed balance due to this unaffiliated corporation. The Company has established an escrow account and a corresponding liability of approximately $2,100 as of December 31, 1995. The Company's management estimates that the outcome of this dispute will not result in an additional liability. The Company has a purchase commitment with the unaffiliated corporation discussed above. The Company is committed to purchase all medical supplies for resale at cost plus 18%, which includes distribution, through 1997. The commitment can be rescinded with six months notice or two months notice with cause. LITIGATION: The Company is a defendant in various legal actions in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the Company's management (based in part on the advice of outside counsel), the resolutions of these actions will have no material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. OPERATING LEASES: The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, including expense allocable to the Company in 1994 and 1993, which expire in varying years through 1999. Taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses related to the leased property are paid by the Company. Total rent expense under noncancelable operating leases, including rent expense allocated to the Company during 1993 and 1994 (see Note 1), was $242, $248 and $181 in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under noncancelable operating leases at December 31, 1995 are approximately as follows: 1996................................................................. $ 223 1997................................................................. 232 1998................................................................. 190 1999................................................................. 117 --------- $ 762 --------- --------- 9. 401(K) PLAN The Company's 401(k) plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company made no contributions to the plan in 1993, 1994 and 1995. In December 1995, the Company decided to terminate the plan and will distribute plan assets to participants. 10. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company grants credit, without collateral, in the normal course of business, to nursing homes, private and governmental institutions, and health care agencies. Amounts due from Medicare and Medicaid amounted to approximately 45% of accounts receivable at December 31, 1995. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations. Management does not believe significant credit risk exists at December 31, 1995. F-89 ROYAL CARE OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS) 10. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED) The Company maintains an escrow account at a financial institution. Accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100. Uninsured balances amounted to $2,027 at December 31, 1995. 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt, for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Fair values were estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.

F-94 STERLING ACQUISITION PARTNERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1994 AND THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1995 TO JULY 31, 1995 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Sterling Acquisition Partners, Inc., dba Sterling Healthcare Services (the Company), provides pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, intravenous therapies, and related products, and consulting services to patients in long-term care and assisted living facilities throughout the state of Louisiana. On August 3, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and liabilities to AMC Regional Holdings, Inc. No significant operations occurred subsequent to July 31, 1995 and prior to the August 3, 1995 sale. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by Company management and are based on management's current judgments. These judgments are based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. The Company will, when determined necessary, accrue for estimated liabilities when the financial impact is probable and can be estimated by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the products or services are provided to the Company's customers. As a significant portion of the Company's revenues are paid through the Louisiana Department of Public Aid (Medicaid) and Medicare programs and are subject to adjustment by the programs, the Company monitors its receivables and reports such revenue at the net realizable amounts to be received from these programs. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or market. The cost of goods sold recognized by the Company consists principally of cost of products and medical supplies. EQUIPMENT DEPRECIATION Equipment, consisting principally of office and transportation equipment, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment is depreciated or amortized using either straight-line or accelerated methods based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AMORTIZATION Intangible assets consist primarily of customer listings (see Note 3) and pharmacy service agreements which are amortized over five- and three-year terms, respectively. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, distributions payable, accrued expenses, notes receivable from a related entity, notes payable to stockholders, and debt. The fair values of all financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values. 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company routinely provides operating advances to a related entity with substantially the same ownership as that of the Company. Effective December 31, 1994, the net amounts of these F-95 STERLING ACQUISITION PARTNERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1994 AND THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1995 TO JULY 31, 1995 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) operating advances was converted to a demand note receivable bearing interest at 8% per annum. The note receivable is personally guaranteed on a pro rata basis by the stockholders of this related entity. Other income for the period from January 1, 1995 to July 31, 1995, includes approximately $28,000 of interest related to this note receivable. The Company has notes payable to stockholders representing amounts due on demand bearing interest at 8% per annum. Interest expense in relation to these notes was $4,000 and $8,343 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, and $14,059 for the period from January 1, 1995 to July 31, 1995. On June 1, 1995, the Company purchased a customer listing (see Note 2) from a related entity in exchange for a note receivable of $116,622, which had been recorded on the Company's financial statements. The Company compensates its Board of Directors who are also stockholders of the Company for attendance at meetings. Such fees are paid in amounts that are at the discretion of Company management. These fees amounted to $45,000 and $160,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, and $0 for the period from January 1, 1995 to July 31, 1995. The Company subleases office space to a related entity with substantially the same ownership as that of the Company. Sublease income amounted to $8,607 and $19,129 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, and $12,750 for the period from January 1, 1995 to July 31, 1995, and is netted against rent expense. 4. S CORPORATION ELECTION The stockholders of the Company have elected to be taxed as an S corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code effective April 1, 1992. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal or state income taxes as the income of the Company is included in the taxable income of its stockholders. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company's federal income tax return for the year ended March 31, 1992. The Company received the final results of this examination and accrued, during the year ended December 31, 1994, $32,300 in additional taxes and approximately $6,600 in interest in relation to this examination. 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases. These leases contain various terms and provide for renewal at prevailing market rates. Future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases are as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 - ------------------------------------------------------------- 1996......................................................... $ 82,362 1997......................................................... 64,432 1998......................................................... 44,670 1999......................................................... -- 2000......................................................... -- ----------- $ 191,464 ----------- ----------- F-96 STERLING ACQUISITION PARTNERS, INC.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company has an employee benefit plan (Plan) which covers substantially all of its full-time employees. Employees can elect to make pretax contributions of a percentage of their annual compensation not to exceed IRS limitations. Matching and annual contributions are at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The expense of the Company related to the Plan was approximately $18,294 and $13,741 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, and $0 for the period from January 1, 1995 to July 31, 1995. 7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable due from Medicaid, Medicare, third-party insurance companies, and individuals in various geographic locations. Credit risks with respect to these receivables are limited due to the large number of patients comprising the Company's customer base. 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The Company has authorized the issuance of 100,000 shares of no-par-value preferred stock. No shares are issued and outstanding. F-97 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors Williamson Drug Company, Inc. Harrisonburg, Virginia We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Williamson's Pharmacy-Institutional Division (a division of Williamson Drug Company, Inc.) as of June 30, 1993, June 30, 1994 and August 10, 1994, and the related statements of income and divisional equity and cash flows for the four months ended June 30, 1993, the year ended June 30, 1994 and the period from July 1, 1994 through August 10, 1994. 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. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our report dated October 11, 1994, we expressed a qualified opinion on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1994 because we did not observe the physical inventory taken as of June 30, 1993, and we had not performed adequate alternative tests of inventory. We have now performed additional tests of inventory and satisfied ourselves to the recorded inventory value. Accordingly, our present opinion on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1994 as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Williamson's Pharmacy-Institutional Division as of June 30, 1993, June 30, 1994 and August 10, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the four months ended June 30, 1993, the year ended June 30, 1994 and the period from July 1, 1994 through August 10, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-101 WILLIAMSON'S PHARMACY-INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION (A DIVISION OF WILLIAMSON DRUG COMPANY, INC.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS: Williamson Drug Company, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on July 1, 1955, and as of July 1, 1993, operated a retail pharmacy in Harrisonburg, Virginia (Retail Division) and a pharmacy to provide services for extended care facilities located within an approximately 100 mile radius of Harrisonburg (Institutional Division). As of July 1, 1993, the Company also owned 100% of two inactive subsidiaries, which held no assets or liabilities. The Company grants credit to customers within its service area. On November 1, 1993, the Company transferred certain assets and liabilities from its Retail Division to one of the inactive subsidiaries, and the subsidiary concurrently purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities of Hughes Pharmacy, Inc. Until August 11, 1995, Williamson Drug Company, Inc. held 100% of the voting common stock of the new corporation, WilliamsonHughes Pharmacy and Home Health (WilliamsonHughes). These financial statements include only the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows for the Institutional Division of the Company from March 1, 1993 through August 10, 1994. The Company's investment in WilliamsonHughes Pharmacy and Home Health and any balances shared with WilliamsonHughes are allocated to that company and excluded from these financial statements. The results of operations of the retail division prior to November 1, 1993 are also excluded from these financial statements. NOTE 2 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: On August 11, 1994, the Company allocated any remaining joint assets and liabilities to WilliamsonHughes, and distributed its common shares in WilliamsonHughes to the Company's sole stockholder. Concurrent with the transfer of the investment in WilliamsonHughes, the Company's sole stockholder sold 90% of his common shares (totaling 21.6 shares) of Williamson Drug Company, Inc. to AMC Regional Holdings, Inc., a fully-owned subsidiary of American Medserve Corporation. On April 14, 1995, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with Extended Care Associates, Inc. (ECA) of Lynchburg, Virginia, effective as of the close of business on April 15, 1995. The purchase includes substantially all of the operating assets of Extended Care Associates, Inc. ECA provides pharmacy services to extended care facilities located in Lynchburg and the surrounding area within an approximately 40 mile radius. The former operations of ECA are continuing at the Lynchburg facility as a branch of the Company. The Company may be required to make additional payments beginning in 1996 and ending in 2000, aggregating up to $1,000,000 based on increases in operating income of the Company for the five year period ending June 30, 2000. Concurrent with the execution of the asset purchase agreement, the Company entered into management agreements with the shareholders of Extended Care Associates, Inc. These agreements provide for employment of these two executives for a period of five years subject to certain termination provisions. The management agreement also contains a noncompetition provision for a period of up to ten years. The Company also entered into a five-year lease in May 1995 for pharmacy facilities and office space in Lynchburg with the executives. During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company opened a branch operation in Charlottesville, Virginia. Also, during 1996, the Company opened a branch operation in Richmond, Virginia. On April 1, 1996, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement and an employment agreement with PRN, Inc., T/A Pharmacy Resource Network (PRN) of Portsmouth, Virginia and the stockholder of PRN, effective as of the close of business on April 30, 1996. The purchase includes substantially all of the operating assets of PRN, Inc. The employment agreement starts on May 1, F-102 WILLIAMSON'S PHARMACY-INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION (A DIVISION OF WILLIAMSON DRUG COMPANY, INC.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 2 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: (CONTINUED) 1996 and continues for a period of five years, subject to certain termination provisions. The agreement also contains a noncompetition agreement for a period up to five years. Also executed on April 30, 1996, was a promissory note to the order of PRN, Inc. for $99,951, due and payable on July 15, 1996. In connection with the PRN purchase, the Company entered into a lease for 31 months for pharmacy facilities and office space in Portsmouth, Virginia. The Company also executed another asset purchase agreement on June 28, 1996, with Woodbine Pharmacy, Inc. (Woodbine) of Manassas, Virginia. The purchase includes substantially all of the operating assets of Woodbine. Contemporaneously with the asset purchase agreement, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the shareholder of Woodbine. This agreement states the shareholder will be employed in the capacity of pharmacist manager for a period of five years, subject to certain termination provisions. The agreement also includes a noncompetition clause for a period of up to five years. NOTE 3 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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. CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Institutional Division considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INVENTORY VALUATION Inventory consists of products held for resale and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. DEPRECIATION Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method for all assets. The depreciation methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: ASSET YEARS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Office equipment....................................................................... 5-10 Nursing home equipment................................................................. 5-10 Automotive equipment................................................................... 3-5 Leasehold improvements................................................................. 7-31 BAD DEBTS AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS An allowance for contractual adjustments for Medicaid accounts receivable is deducted from the related receivable. Medicaid accounts receivable are initially recorded at the normal rates for private pay patients; an adjustment is subsequently recorded for the difference between the private pay rates and the rates allowed by Medicaid. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets subject to amortization include purchased service contracts and a non-competition agreement entered into during 1993. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. F-103 WILLIAMSON'S PHARMACY-INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION (A DIVISION OF WILLIAMSON DRUG COMPANY, INC.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 3 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED) INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the statements of income and include deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred income taxes are computed on the liability method as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." NOTE 4 -- ALLOWANCES FOR BAD DEBTS AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS: Trade receivables are presented in the balance sheet net of allowances for bad debts of $30,921 at August 10, 1994, $30,751 at June 30, 1994 and $14,258 at June 30, 1993. Medicaid receivables are presented in the balance sheet net of allowances for contractual adjustments of $120,274 at August 10, 1994, $106,627 at June 30, 1994 and $93,807 at June 30, 1993. NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAXES: The components of the net deferred tax asset recognized in the Institutional Division's balance sheets are as follows: AUGUST 10, JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1994 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- ---------- Deferred tax liability.................................. $ 22,668 $ 18,755 $ 17,592 Deferred tax asset......................................

The use of different depreciation methods results in differences between the tax bases and the reported carrying values of depreciable property and equipment. The deferred income tax asset is primarily attributable to temporary differences arising from the recognition of certain accrued expenses for financial reporting purposes that the Institutional Division could not yet deduct in arriving at its taxable income. The components of income tax expense attributable to continuing operations are as follows: PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 1994 THROUGH FOUR MONTHS AUGUST 10, YEAR ENDED ENDED 1994 JUNE 30, 1994 JUNE 30, 1993 -------------- ------------- ------------- Current income tax expense Federal....................................... $ 1,385 $ 86,084 $ 4,915 State......................................... 365 16,829 1,674 Deferred income tax benefit.....................

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAXES: (CONTINUED) The following schedule reconciles the provision for income taxes reported in the financial statements to taxes that would be obtained by applying regular federal statutory tax rates to income before taxes. The reconciliation is shown net of the effects of changes in the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.

The Institutional Division has capital loss carryforwards of $831 which expire in 1998. The Institutional Division joins with WilliamsonHughes in the filing of a consolidated corporate income tax return. The effects of income taxes disclosed above pertain only to the Institutional Division. The Company allocates current and deferred income taxes and the related expense to corporations in the affiliated group based on the relative taxable income and remaining temporary differences it determines are attributable to each affiliate. NOTE 6 -- SHORT-TERM DEBT: At August 10, 1994, the Company has a line of credit with a maximum limit of $600,000. Borrowings are payable on demand and interest is payable monthly at prime plus 1 1/2%. The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company and various assets of the sole stockholder. The loan agreement limits the Company's ability to purchase new assets, make advances to stockholder, incur additional debt or pay dividends without the prior consent of the Bank. In connection with sale of stock as described in note 2, the line of credit was paid off with proceeds from a note payable to American Medserve Corporation. The Company's total amount outstanding on the line of credit and the amount allocated to the Institutional Division is as follows: AUGUST 10, JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1994 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total amount outstanding............................... $ 600,000 $ 393,000 $ 469,000 Allocated to Institutional Division.................... 450,000 243,000 286,500 NOTE 7 -- LONG-TERM DEBT: Long-term debt consists of notes payable to Stewart R.

Allocated administrative expenses include primarily salaries and wages, associated employee benefits, insurance and interest expense. Before the formation of WilliamsonHughes, the Company allocated administrative expenses based on the level of total revenue of each division. Upon the formation of WilliamsonHughes, the Company began estimating, on a monthly basis, the portion of administrative expenses attributable to WilliamsonHughes and billed the subsidiary to reimburse the expenses.

F-112 WILLIAMSON DRUG COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS: Williamson Drug Company, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on July 1, 1955. Prior to November 1, 1993, the Company operated a retail pharmacy in Harrisonburg, Virginia (Retail Division) and a pharmacy to provide services for extended care facilities within an approximately 100 mile radius of Harrisonburg (Institutional Division). The Company grants credit to customers within its service area. On November 1, 1993, the Company transferred certain assets and liabilities from its Retail Division to an inactive subsidiary, and the subsidiary concurrently purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities of Hughes Pharmacy, Inc. From November 1, 1993 through August 10, 1994, the Company held 100% of the voting common stock of the new corporation, WilliamsonHughes Pharmacy and Home Health (WilliamsonHughes). On August 11, 1994, the Company allocated any remaining joint assets and liabilities to WilliamsonHughes, and distributed its common shares in WilliamsonHughes to the Company's sole stockholder. Concurrent with the transfer of the investment in WilliamsonHughes, the Company's sole stockholder sold 90% of his common shares (totaling 21.6 shares) of Williamson Drug Company, Inc. to AMC Regional Holdings, Inc., a fully-owned subsidiary of American Medserve Corporation (AMC). The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company after adjustment of the assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values to reflect allocation of the cost of the acquisition incurred by AMC, commonly referred to as "push-down accounting." Reflected below is a summary of adjustments to the previously recorded book values of identifiable net assets. Increase (Decrease) in: Trade receivables -- net of allowance.......................... $ (30,000) Medicaid receivable -- net of allowance........................ (20,000) Net deferred tax asset......................................... 25,434 Increase in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities........... (17,000) The balance of the purchase price was recorded as the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and is presented as goodwill in these financial statements. The amount of goodwill recorded in these financial statements is based on the value imputed from the sales price for 90% of the stock. Goodwill recorded as a result of this transaction totals $1,942,106 and is being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. AMC may be required to make additional payments beginning in 1995 and ending in 1999 aggregating up to $3,000,000 contingent upon increases in operating income for the five year period ending June 30, 1999. The Company has entered into a management agreement with the former sole stockholder of the Company effective August 11, 1994, for a period of five years. The agreement provides for employment as Chief Executive Officer and contains noncompetition and other employment provisions. NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITION OF THE ASSETS OF EXTENDED CARE ASSOCIATES, INC.: On April 14, 1995, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with Extended Care Associates, Inc. (ECA) of Lynchburg, Virginia, effective as of the close of business on April 15, 1995. The purchase includes substantially all of the operating assets of Extended Care Associates, Inc. ECA provides pharmacy services to extended care facilities located in Lynchburg and the surrounding area within an approximately 40 mile radius. The former operations of ECA are continuing at the Lynchburg facility as a branch of the Company. F-113 WILLIAMSON DRUG COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITION OF THE ASSETS OF EXTENDED CARE ASSOCIATES, INC.: (CONTINUED) The initial purchase price included $1,200,000 in cash and 3% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The initial purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets acquired based on their estimated fair values which approximate the net book values of these assets. Intangible assets include $100,000 allocated to a noncompetition agreement. The total cost in excess of the identifiable net assets acquired of $814,886 is presented as goodwill which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The Company may be required to make additional payments beginning in 1996 and ending in 2000, aggregating up to $1,000,000 based on increases in operating income of the Company for the five year period ending June 30, 2000. Concurrent with the execution of the asset purchase agreement, the Company entered into management agreements with the shareholders of Extended Care Associates, Inc. These agreements provide for employment of these two executives for a period of five years subject to certain termination provisions. The management agreement also contains a noncompetition provision for a period of up to ten years. The cost of the intangible asset allocated to the noncompetition is being amortized over a ten year period using the straight-line method. NOTE 3 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Significant accounting policies of the Company are as follows: CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INVENTORY VALUATION Inventory consists of products held for resale and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. DEPRECIATION Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method for all assets. The depreciation methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: ASSET YEARS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Office equipment....................................................................... 5-10 Nursing home equipment................................................................. 5-10 Automotive equipment................................................................... 3-5 Leasehold improvements................................................................. 7-31 BAD DEBTS AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS An allowance for contractual adjustments for Medicaid accounts receivable is deducted from the related receivable. Medicaid accounts receivable are initially recorded at the normal rates for private pay patients; an adjustment is subsequently recorded for the difference between the private pay rates and the rates allowed by Medicaid. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill is being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. The noncompetition agreements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the period of the agreements. Other intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. F-114 WILLIAMSON DRUG COMPANY, INC.

The use of different depreciation methods results in differences between the tax bases and the reported carrying values of depreciable property and equipment. The deferred income tax asset is primarily attributable to temporary differences arising from the recognition of certain accrued expenses for financial reporting purposes that the Company could not yet deduct in arriving at its taxable income.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws provide that the Registrant shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. The enabling statute provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement as set forth in Exhibit 1.1., the directors and officers of the Registrant are indemnified against certain civil liabilities that they may incur under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with this Registration Statement and the related Prospectus. The Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance, which provides coverage against certain liabilities. ITEM 15.

II-2 (b) Financial Statement Schedule. Schedule VIII -- Valuation of Qualifying Accounts ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions specified in Item 14 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
