Item 5.  Other Events

In October, 1997 the Company purchased 24 nursing homes and 2 rehabilitation
hospitals from Regency Health Services (Regency) for a net purchase price of
$80.9 million, after assumption of unsecured borrowings of $4.9 million which 
bear interest at an effective cost of approximately 6%. Simultaneously, Regency 
was acquired by Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (Sun) and entered into a lease 
agreement with the Company for these same facilities. Subsequent to the actual 
funding of the purchase, the Company reached an agreement with Sun whereby it
agreed to invest an additional $15 million in these properties when cash flow 
coverage ratios for the acquired facilities exceeded 2.00:1.00. Such ratios
have been exceeded, and an additional $15 million purchase consideration was 
funded on April 24, 1998. This increases the Company's investment in the 
facilities to $100.8 million. The yield on the additional investment is 9.50%.
Rent on the additional investment is subject to annual increases as with 
respect to the original investment.

Following is condensed consolidated information derived from filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission by Sun for the periods ended December 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996.
