Note 1 - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, which have not been examined by independent public accountants, reflect,
in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
data for such periods. The results of the operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The interim
condensed balance sheet at December 31, 1994 is taken from the audited
financial statements at that date. The interim condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements,
including the notes thereto, for the periods ended December 31, 1994, December
31, 1993, and December 31, 1992.

Note 3 - INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" was issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1993. As required by SFAS 115, securities are
classified as trading, held-to-maturity or available for sale. Trading
securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in
the near term. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company
has both the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. All other
securities are

NATIONAL HEALTHCARE L.P.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
(Unaudited)
classified as available for sale. NHC considers its investments in marketable
securities as available for sale securities and unrealized gains and losses are
recorded in partners' capital in accordance with SFAS 115.
Partners' capital for the period ended June 30, 1995 was decreased by
approximately $167,000 to reflect the net unrealized investment loss on
marketable securities without stated maturities classified as available for
sale.
Proceeds from the sale of investments in debt and equity securities
for the period ended June 30, 1995 were $2,696,000, resulting in gross
investment gains of $336,000 realized on these sales. Realized gains and
losses from securities sales are determined on the specific identification of
the securities. The adoption of SFAS 115 did not have a material effect on
NHC's financial position or results of operations.
Note 4 - GUARANTEES:
In order to obtain management agreements and to facilitate the
construction or acquisition of certain health care centers which NHC manages
for others, NHC has guaranteed some or all of the debt (principal and interest)
on those centers. For this service NHC charges an annual guarantee fee of 1%
to 2% of the outstanding principal balance guaranteed, which fee is in addition
to NHC's management fee. The principal amounts outstanding under the
guarantees is approximately $82,388,000 (net of available debt service
reserves) at variable and fixed interest rates with a weighted average of 5.1%
at June 30, 1995. In addition, NHC has guaranteed a letter of credit in the
amount of approximately $8,200,000 for which an annual fee of 2% is charged.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations
Overview
National HealthCare L.P. (NHC, or the Company) operates and manages 96
long-term health care centers with 12,450 beds in nine states. NHC provides
nursing care as well as ancillary therapy services to patients in a variety of
settings including long-term care nursing centers, managed care specialty
units, subacute care units, Alzheimer's care units, homecare programs, and
facilities for assisted living. NHC also operates retirement centers. (Prior
to January 1, 1995, the name of NHC was National HealthCorp L.P.)

NATIONAL HEALTHCARE L.P.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
(Unaudited)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations (Continued)
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1994.
Results for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 include a 33%
increase over the same period in 1994 in net income, a 28% increase in fully
diluted earnings per unit, and a 20% increase in net revenues.
The increased revenues for the quarter reflect the continued growth of
operations. Compared to the quarter a year ago, NHC has increased the number
of owned or leased long-term care beds from 6,246 beds to 6,406 beds. The
number of long-term care beds managed for others has increased from 6,028 beds
to 6,044 beds. Also contributing to increased revenues are improvements in
both private pay and third party payor rates.
Revenues also improved during 1995 due to increased emphasis on
rehabilitative and managed care services. To boost the ability to offer
physical, speech and occupational therapy to greater numbers of patients, the
Company is continuing to increase the size of its staff of professionally
licensed therapists. The Company has also signed managed care contracts with
private insurance companies to provide subacute care to their insurees,
offering a less expensive alternative to acute care and rehabilitative
hospitals. NHC also now has a network of case managers to assure appropriate
placement and payment for subacute patients in the NHC system.
Revenues from management services, which are included in the
Statements of Income in Other Revenues, increased 44% in 1995 from $4.1 million
to $5.9 million due to the increased number of beds being managed for others,
increased management fees, and increased interest income from higher principal
amounts and interest rates on floating rate and fixed rate loans to managed
centers. Management fees are generally based upon a percentage of net revenues
of the managed center and therefore tend to increase as a facility matures and
as prices rise in general.
Total costs and expenses for the 1995 quarter increased $13.0 million
or 19% to $80.7 million from $67.7 million. Salaries, wages and benefits, the
largest operating costs of this service company, increased $7.3 million or 19%
to $46.7 million from $39.3 million. Other operating expenses increased $4.5
million or 20% to $26.4 million for the 1995 second quarter compared to $21.9
million in the 1994 period. Depreciation and amortization increased 6% to $3.7
million. Interest costs increased $1.1 million or 35% to $4.0 million from
$2.9 million for last year.

NATIONAL HEALTHCARE L.P.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
(Unaudited)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations (Continued)
Increases in salaries, wages and benefits are attributable to the
increase in staffing levels due to long-term care bed additions, homecare
expansions, and the increased emphasis on rehabilitative services. Also
contributing to higher costs of labor are inflationary increases for salaries
and the associated benefits.
Operating costs have increased due to the increased number of beds in
operation, the expansion of homecare services, the expansion of rehabilitative
and managed care services, and due to the growth in management services
provided to others.
Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of the Company's
placing of newly constructed or purchased assets in service and due to capital
improvements at existing properties.
Interest expense increased due to additional borrowing for newly
purchased or constructed long-term care beds and due to increased interest
rates of floating rate debt. Approximately 32% of the Company's long-term debt
is at floating rates.
The total census at owned and leased centers for the quarter averaged
91.9% compared to an average of 93.0% for the same quarter a year ago.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1994.
Results for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 include a 31%
increase over the same period in 1994 in net income, a 27% increase in fully
diluted earnings per unit, and a 21% increase in net revenues.
The increased revenues for the six months this year reflect the
continued growth of operations. Compared to the six month period a year ago,
NHC has increased the number of owned, leased, and managed long-term care beds
by 176 beds from 12,274 beds to 12,450 beds. Also contributing to increased
revenues are improvements in both private pay and third party payor rates.
Revenues also improved during 1995 due to increased emphasis on
rehabilitative and managed care services. To boost the ability to offer
physical, speech and occupational therapy to greater numbers of patients, the
Company is continuing to increase the size of its staff of professionally
licensed therapists. The Company has also signed managed care contracts with
private insurance companies to provide subacute care to their insurees,
offering a less expensive alternative to acute care and rehabilitative
hospitals. NHC also now has a network of case managers to assure appropriate
placement and payment for subacute patients in the NHC system.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations (Continued)
Revenues from management services, which are included in the
Statements of Income in Other Revenues, increased 48% in 1995 from $8.1 million
to $11.9 million due to the increased number of beds being managed for others,
increased management fees, and increased interest income from higher principal
amounts and interest rates on floating rate and fixed rate loans to managed
centers. Management fees are generally based upon a percentage of net revenues
of the managed center and therefore tend to increase as a facility matures and
as prices rise in general.
Total costs and expenses for the 1995 six month period increased $27.2
million or 20% to $160.3 million from $133.1 million. Salaries, wages and
benefits, the largest operating costs of this service company, increased $14.7
million or 19% to $91.4 million from $76.7 million. Other operating expenses
increased $9.2 million or 21% to $53.2 million for the 1995 second quarter
compared to $44.0 million in the 1994 period. Depreciation and amortization
increased 9% to $7.3 million. Interest costs increased $2.7 million or 47% to
$8.3 million from $5.6 million for last year.
Increases in salaries, wages and benefits are attributable to the
increase in staffing levels due to long-term care bed additions, homecare
expansions, and the increased emphasis on rehabilitative services. Also
contributing to higher costs of labor are inflationary increases for salaries
and the associated benefits.
Operating costs have increased due to the increased number of beds in
operation, the expansion of homecare services, the expansion of rehabilitative
and managed care services, and due to the growth in management services
provided to others.
Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of the Company's
placing of newly constructed or purchased assets in service and due to capital
improvements at existing properties.
Interest expense increased due to additional borrowing for newly
purchased or constructed long-term care beds and due to increased interest
rates of floating rate debt. Approximately 40% of the Company's long-term debt
is at floating rates.
The total census at owned and leased centers for the six months
averaged 93.0% compared to an average of 92.9% for the same six months a year
ago.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first six months of 1995, the Company generated net cash of
$5.1 million from operating activities, $12.3 million from the collection of
long-term notes receivable, $2.4 million from the decrease in debt or equity
securities, $1.4 million from the decrease in minority equity investments and
$5.7 million in debt proceeds. Of these funds, $10.8 million was used for
additions to and acquisitions of property and equipment, $1.9 million for
payments on debt, and $6.6 million for cash distributions to partners. Cash
and cash equivalents increased $8.1 million during the quarter.
At June 30, 1995, the Company's ratio of long-term obligations to
convertible debt and capital is 1.5 to 1.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 2.1 to 1.
Working capital is $50.4 million. These financial resources with anticipated
funds from future operations are expected to be adequate to enable the
Partnership to meet its working capital requirements and expansion goals.
Development
During the first six months of 1995, the Company added a net total of
142 licensed long-term care beds, of which 111 beds are owned or leased and 31
beds are managed.
Currently, NHC has 1,034 beds under development at 19 health care
centers in various locations. These beds are either under construction or a
Certificate of Need has been received from the appropriate state agency
authorizing the construction of additional centers or beds.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is subject to claims and suits in the ordinary
course of business. While there are several worker's compensation
and personal liability claims and other suits presently in the court
system, management believes that the ultimate resolution of all
pending proceedings will not have any material adverse effect on the
Company or its operations.
