Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On February 17, 1997, Contour Medical, Inc. (the "Company") entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Contour Merger
Agreement") by and among Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Sun"), Nectarine Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun ("Sun Merger Sub"), and the Company, pursuant to
which Sun Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the "Contour
Merger").

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contour Merger Agreement
(including, without limitation, approval by the stockholders of the Company)
upon the effective time of the Contour Merger, Sun will pay $8.50 in cash
and/or Sun common stock, at Sun's election, for each outstanding share of the
common stock (the "Contour Common Stock") of the Company not presently owned by
Retirement Care Associates, Inc., a Colorado corporation and majority
shareholder of the Company ("RCA") (other than shares of Contour Common Stock
held in the treasury of the Company, owned by Sun or Sun Merger Sub or held by
persons who exercise their dissenters' rights under Nevada law). As a result of
the Contour Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun.

         In connection therewith, RCA, which owns 5,222,003 shares of the
Contour Common Stock and 89,250 shares of Contour Series A Preferred Stock ("A
Preferred", together with the Contour Common Stock, "Contour Capital Stock"),
also entered into a Stockholder Stock Option and Proxy Agreement (the "Contour
Option Agreement") by and among Sun and RCA. Pursuant to the Contour Option
Agreement, RCA granted to Sun an irrevocable option to purchase RCA-held
Contour Capital Stock at a price per share of Contour Common Stock equal to
$8.50 and a price per share of A Preferred equal to $4.00 under certain
circumstances. In addition, RCA agreed to vote, and granted to Sun an
irrevocable proxy to vote, all Contour Capital Stock held by RCA in favor of
approval of the Contour Merger Agreement and the Contour Merger and against any
merger, consolidation, sale of assets, reorganization or recapitalization of
the Company with any party other than Sun and its affiliates and against any
liquidation or winding up of the Company.

         The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full texts of the Contour Merger Agreement, attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.1, and the Contour Option Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1.00(a) to
the Contour Merger Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.
