ITEM 1. Financial Statements
INTRODUCTION - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of Management, all
adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present
fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented have been included. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Amended Form 10-K/A, Retirement
Care Associates, Inc. (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,
File No. 1-14114.
The Company restated its financial information for periods commencing June 30,
1996 through the nine months ended March 31, 1997, as reflected in the Company's
Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters ended September 30, 1996,
December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997. Adjustments and reclassifications were
necessary to correct entries relating to (i) receivables due from third-party
payors, (ii) the Company's inventory for such periods, (iii) provisions for
doubtful accounts, (iv) provisions for contractual allowances for third-party
payors, (v) provisions for accrued liabilities, and (vi) pre-recorded operating
leases (collectively, the "Restated Entries").
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q/A are "forward-looking statements" made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Factors which may cause the Company's actual results in future
periods to differ materially from forecast results include, but are not limited
to: general economic and business conditions, both nationally and in the regions
in which the Company operates; industry capacity; demographic changes; existing
government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government
regulations; legislative proposals for reform; the ability to enter into lease
and management contracts and arrangements on acceptable terms; changes in
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement levels; liability and other claims asserted
against the Company; competition; changes in business strategy or development
plans; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the significant
indebtedness of the Company; and the availability and terms of capital to fund
the expansion of the Company's business, including the acquisition of additional
facilities.
The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the
Company, without audit, and should not be relied upon to the same extent as
audited financial statements.

RETIREMENT CARE ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Amended Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, File No 1-14114.
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments to present
fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods reported. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
128"), which is required to be adopted for the fiscal years ending after
December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per
Share" and specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements
for earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. SFAS 128 essentially replaces the primary EPS and fully
diluted EPS presentations under APB Opinion No. 15 with a basic EPS and a
diluted EPS calculation. The Company will comply with the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 128 commencing with its December 31, 1997 Form 10-Q.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. There currently are no additional
disclosures in the financial statements of the Company that are expected to be
required by the provisions of this statement.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"), which changes the way public companies report information about
segments of their business in annual financial statements and requires segment
information in quarterly reports to shareholders. SFAS 131 also requires that
public companies report certain information about their products and services,
the geographic areas in which they operate and their major customers. SFAS 131
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has
not determined what additional disclosures may be required by the provisions of
SFAS 131.
NOTE 2: RESTATEMENT
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended December 31,
1996, as originally reported, reflected certain balances which were subsequently
determined to be incorrect and, accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements for the six months ended December 31, 1996 were restated as follows
(in thousands):
As Previously Reported As Restated
---------------------- -----------
Revenues $116,517 $116,381
Operating Expenses $124,548 $118,239*
Net Earnings (Loss)
applicable to common stock $ (5,528) $ (1,902)
Shareholders' Equity $ 34,666 $ 34,462
- -------------------
* Restated Operating Expenses included (in thousands) (i) a reduction in the
accrual for employee benefits of $3,700, (ii) restated inventory of $1,955,(iii)
a reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts of $580, and (iv) restated
general and administrative expenses of $74.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND COST REIMBURSEMENTS
Accounts receivable and operating revenue include net amounts reimbursed by
Medicaid under the provisions of cost reimbursement formulas in effect. The
Company operates under a prospective payment system with Medicare, under which
annual rates are assigned based on estimated reimbursements. Differences between
estimated provisions and final settlement are reflected as adjustments to future
rates.

NOTE 5: ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES
At December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997, the Company had advances to
(from) affiliates totaling approximately ($5,429,584) and $66,991,
respectively, and are due on demand.
NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consisted of the following:

Amounts outstanding under Revenue Bonds
secured by retirement facilities $ 81,400,000 $ 74,675,000

Current maturities 17,063,115 11,454,059
Total long-term debt $148,532,538 $141,674,131
On December 15, 1997, HCFP Funding, Inc. ("HCFP"), the Company and certain
subsidiaries of the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, pursuant
to which HCFP granted to the Company a $14 million revolving line of credit (the
"HCFP Loan"). The HCFP Loan is secured by a priority lien on all of the
Company's accounts receivable and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2%. The
outstanding principal and interest under the HCFP Loan are due on December 15,
2001, and the HCFP Loan may be renewed for one-year periods thereafter upon the
mutual written agreement of the parties.
NOTE 7: ANCILLARY SERVICE AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into various agreements with Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.
("Sun") to provide ancillary services such as therapy services and
pharmaceutical services to the Company's long-term care facilities. The
agreements provided for the Company to cause all of its facilities to promptly
take all reasonable action, including, without limitation, terminating existing
contracts with other providers of ancillary services in accordance with the
terms thereof, and to cause all facilities to begin receiving all of their
required ancillary services from Sun or Sun's affiliates as soon as practicable
after November 25, 1997. The Company is notifying all existing ancillary service
providers of the termination of services and expects to receive all such
services from Sun by February 1998. The agreements may not be terminated until
14 days after the termination of the merger agreement with Sun, at which time
either party may freely terminate.
NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted the provisions of SFAS 128 for
reporting purposes. No additional securities have been included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share as they would be antidilutive. See the
Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 for a
description of securities which may potentially be dilutive in the future.
NOTE 9: YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
The Company has reviewed all of its current computer applications with respect
to the date change from 1999 to the year 2000, as discussed in the Securities
and Exchange Commission Staff Legal Bulletin No. 5 (the "Year 2000 Issue"). The
Company believes that certain of its applications are substantially in
compliance with the Year 2000 Issue and that any additional costs with respect
to compliance with the Year 2000 Issue will not be material to the Company. The
Company is currently unable to determine the effect of compliance with the Year
2000 Issue by its customers and suppliers.
NOTE 10: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SUN MERGER AGREEMENT.
On November 25, 1997, the Company entered into the third amendment ("Amendment
No. 3") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger
Agreement") between the Company and Sun. Amendment No. 3 changes the exchange
ratio in the Merger Agreement from 0.520 shares of the common stock of Sun for
each share the Company's common stock to that number of shares of the common
stock of Sun having a market value, based on the average closing price for the
common stock of Sun equal to $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment up or down
in event of the significant appreciation or depreciation in the price of the
common stock of Sun. Amendment No. 3 also (i) waives certain responsibilities
and warranties which had become materially incorrect since the date of the
original Merger Agreement; (ii) modifies the definition of "Company Material
Adverse Effect" to related only to changes in the assets and liabilities of the
Company; (iii) contains provisions relating to Sun and its affiliates providing
ancillary services to the Company and its affiliates; (iv) contains provisions
allowing the Company to obtain up to $15 million in working capital financing
under certain conditions; (v) contains provisions relating to certain related
company leases; (vi) modifies the conditions to Sun's obligations to consummate
the merger with the Company related to the Company's representations and
warranties and makes corresponding modifications to Sun's termination rights;
(vii) provides a termination fee payable to the Company in the event Sun's board
of directors changes its recommendation of the merger in a manner adverse to the
Company; (viii) contains certain other technical provisions; and (ix) extends
the date after which either party may freely terminate the Merger Agreement from
November 30, 1997 (or under certain circumstances, December 31, 1997) to March
31, 1998.
NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business. In addition, the Company is in dispute with the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") concerning the application of certain income and payroll tax
liabilities and payments. The IRS contends that the Company is delinquent in the
payment of certain taxes and has assessed taxes, penalties and interest in
connection with the alleged underpayment of approximately $1.2 million. The
Company contends that the IRS has misapplied payments between income and payroll
taxes and between the Company and its affiliates. On advise of counsel handling
the matter, the Company has estimated and accrued in the accompanying financial
statements amounts for ultimate settlement of this dispute, and has recorded an
accrual of $400,000 for ultimate settlement thereof. Further, the Company has
filed lawsuits against the IRS related to this matter. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate resolution of pending legal proceedings and the IRS
dispute will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

1996. Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the Company,
patient service revenue increased from $47,950,464 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, to $68,873,798 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The
Company was operating 101 facilities for the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
compared to 75 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The cost of patient
services in the amount of $49,206,128 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
represented 71% of patient service revenue, as compared to $33,415,634, or 70%,
of patient service revenue during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
Medical supply revenue decreased from $11,471,114 during the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, to $10,320,899 during the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
These revenues, which are revenues of Contour Medical, Inc. ("Contour"), a
majority-owned subsidiary, decreased primarily due to volume. Cost of medical
supplies sold as a percentage of medical supply revenue remained constant at
approximately 67% during the quarter ended December 31, 1997, as compared to
approximately 67% of such revenue during the same period last year.
Management fees decreased from $558,575 in the quarter ended December 31, 1996
to $529,906 in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1996, the
Company was managing 20 facilities, and as of December 30, 1997, the Company was
only managing 8 facilities. The reduced number of facilities managed by the
Company is due to the fact that the Company leased three long-term facilities
and four assisted living/independent facilities and purchased one long-term care
facility and two assisted living/independent living facilities from Messrs.
Brogdon and Lane. In addition, two third-party assisted living/independent
living facilities cancelled their management contracts with the Company. The
Company purchased and leased these facilities to reduce the affiliated
receivable due the Company and to increase the number of facilities owned or
leased, rather than just managed, by the Company. Management anticipates that
the number of facilities only managed by the Company will continue to decline as
a result of the acquisition of such facilities by the Company.
Owning or leasing a facility is distinctly different from managing a facility
with respect to operating results and cash flows. For an owned or leased
facility, the entire revenue/expense stream of the facility is recorded on the
Company's income statement. In the case of a management agreement, only the
management fee is recorded. The expenses associated with management revenue are
somewhat indirect as the infrastructure is already in place to manage the
facility. Therefore, the profitability of managing a facility appears more
lucrative on a margin basis than that of an owned/leased facility. However, the
risk of managing a facility is that the contract generally can be canceled on a
relatively short notice, which results in loss of all revenue attributable to
the contract. Furthermore, with an owned or leased property the Company benefits
from the increase in value of the facility as its performance increases. With a
management contract, the owner of the facility maintains the equity value. From
a cash flow standpoint, a management contract is more lucrative because the
Company does not have to support the ongoing operating cash flow of the
facility.

Most of the revenue from the management services division of the Company's
business is received pursuant to management agreements with entities controlled
by Messrs. Brogdon and Lane, two of the Company's officers and directors. These
management agreements have three to five year terms and are terminable on 60
days notice with or without cause by either the Company or the owners.
Therefore, Messrs. Brogdon and Lane have full control over whether or not these
management agreements, and thus the management service revenue, continue in the
future.
Other operating revenue decreased from $1,228,305 during the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, to $410,684 during the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The
decrease was primarily a result of one-time referral fees of $350,000 received
from a building contractor, and approximately $400,000 in interest income
included in the December 31, 1996 amounts.
Lease expense increased from $2,988,406 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996,
to $5,645,121 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. This increase is
primarily attibutable to the increased numbers of facilities that the Company
has leased.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1997
were $14,273,113, representing 18% of total revenues, as compared to
$12,393,814, representing 20% of total revenues, for the three months ended
December 31, 1996. The increase in the dollar amount is primarily due to the
general and administrative expenses related to operating the additional
facilities owned or leased by the Company, and approximately $400,000 was due to
legal and accounting expenses related to the pending merger with Sun Healthcare
Group, Inc.
Interest expense rose from $2,753,971 during the quarter ended December 31,
1996, to $4,169,927 during the quarter ended December 31, 1997, as a result of
the increased amount of debt carried by the Company as a result of acquisitions
made over the last twelve months. At December 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $153 million in long-term debt, as compared to approximately $165
million in long-term debt at December 31, 1997.
For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company received no income tax
benefit, as compared to a tax benefit of $115,000 which represents an effective
tax benefit of 25% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
The net loss of $2,268,535 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, compares to
a net loss of $861,808 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increased
loss is attributable to a deterioration in the Company's operations as a result
of the pendency of and delays associated with the merger with Sun, including
higher-than-normal turnover, and costs associated with the integration and
operation of the Company's recently-acquired Virginia and North Carolina
facilities (including certain relatory compliance problems).
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996.
The Company's total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1997, were
$159,558,039 compared to $116,381,073 for the six months ended December 31,
1996.
Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the Company,
patient service revenue increased from $89,925,434 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, to $135,329,589 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.
The Company was operating 101 facilities for the six months ended December 31,
1997, compared to 75 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The cost of
patient services in the amount of $98,575,825 for the six months ended December
31, 1997, represented 73% of patient service revenue, as compared to
$65,321,257, or 73%, of patient service revenue during the six months ended
December 31, 1996.
Medical supply revenue decreased from $22,777,309 during the six months ended
December 31, 1996, to $22,357,734 during the six months ended December 31, 1997.
The increased percentage if primarily a result of increases in the cost of
products sold and increased competition in the medical supply industry, which
has decreased the sales price of most products. These revenues, which are
revenues of Contour Medical, Inc. ("Contour"), a majority-owned subsidiary,
decreased primarily due to volume. Cost of medical supplies sold as a percentage
of medical supply revenue increased to approximately 69% during the six months
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to approximately 67% of such revenue during
the same period last year. This increased percentage is primarily attributable
to increases in the cost of products sold and increased competition in the
medical supply industry, which has decreased the sales price of most of
Contour's products.

Other operating revenue decreased from $2,185,709 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, compared to $901,273 for the six months ended December 31,
1997. The decrease is primarily a result of one-time referral fees of $650,000
received from a building contractor, and approximately $580,000 in interest
income from affiliated companies included in the December 31, 1996 amount.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1997
were $28,235,625, representing 18% of total revenues, as compared to
$21,895,541, representing 18% of total revenues, for the six months ended
December 31, 1996. The increase in the dollar amount is primarily due to the
general and administrative expenses related to operating the additional
facilities owned or leased by the Company, and approximately $800,000 was due to
legal and accounting expenses related to the pending merger with Sun.
Interest expense rose from $5,151,607 during the six months ended December 31,
1996, to $8,151,216 during the six months ended December 31, 1997, as a result
of the increased amount of debt carried by the Company as a result of
acquisitions made over the last twelve months. At December 31, 1996, the Company
had approximately $153 million in long-term debt, as compared to approximately
$165 million in long-term debt at December 31, 1997.
For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company received an income tax
benefit of $1,340,000, as compared to a tax benefit of $460,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996.
The net loss of $4,355,815 for the six months ended December 31, 1997, compares
to a net loss of $1,901,632 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The
increased loss in attributable due to the fact that the Company's operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1997, the Company had a deficit of $20,384,403 in working
capital compared to a deficit of $10,489,285 at June 30, 1997.
The funds needed to reduce the increasing deficit in working capital could be
provided by increased efforts to collect accounts receivable, possible
refinancing of selected facilities, extended payment terms to major vendors for
food and supplies, and increased control over expenses.
During the six months ended December 31, 1997, cash used by operating activities
was $1,276,619, as compared to $14,086,943 during the six months ended December
31, 1996. The cash used during the six months ended December 31, 1997 was
primarily due to the net loss of $4,355,815, for the six months ended December
31, 1997; increases in accounts receivable of $11,636,513 from medicare
settlements, increases in receivables on the 11 facilities added in the fourth
quarter of the year ended June 30, 1997 and increases in Contour accounts
receivable; increases in Contour inventory of $3,395,269 for primarily two new
distribution centers. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily
depreciation and amortization of $3,372,831 on facilities, increases in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $13,056,640 from 11 facilities added in the
fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 1997.
Cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31,
1997, totaled $21,411,535 as compared to $31,351,010 during the six months ended
December 31, 1996. The Company expended $11,788,087 on the purchase of property
and equipment including the purchase of a long-term facility for $5,400,000 on
October 1, 1997 from individuals who are officers and directors of the Company.
The facility was subject to bond debt of $4,285,000. The Company applied the
remaining purchase price of $1,115,000 against amounts owed from affiliates. The
Company paid $3,414,166 for restricted bond funds on facilities and advanced
$5,256,419 to affiliated companies. The advances are due on demand.
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31,
1997, totaled $30,713, 785 as compared to $45,721,512 during the six months
ended December 31, 1996. Sources of cash included additional lines of credit of
$17,396,696 which included $14,000,000 from Health Care Financial Partners, an
unrelated third party. The interest rate on the line of credit is prime plus 2%
and is due on December 15, 2001, collateralized by a first lien on accounts
receivable of the Company. The Company incurred long-term debt of $13,927,633
including $5,000,000 from Sun and $4,285,000 of bond debt on the acquisition of
a long-term care facility from two individuals who are officers and directors of
the Company. The bond debt is due 2015, with an interest rate of 9.5%. Sources
of cash also included proceeds from issuance of stock options of $1,988,626.
Cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $464,000 in payments on
long-term debt, $600,000 in redemption of Series AA Preferred Stock, $75,000 in
dividends on preferred stock.
On September 30, 1994, the Company purchased a majority of the stock of Contour
Medical, Inc. in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock and preferred
stock. The Company is obligated to redeem the preferred stock issued in the
transaction over five years for $3,000,000 in cash. The Company paid $600,000 on
September 30, 1997 pursuant to this obligation. Management intends to fund
future redemptions from cash flow generated from operations.
The Company believes that its long-term liquidity needs will generally be met by
income from operations. If necessary, the Company believes that it can obtain an
extension of its current line of credit and/or other lines of credit from
commercial sources. Except as described above, the Company is not aware of any
trends, demands, commitments or understandings that would impact its liquidity.
The Company maintains various lines of credit with interest rates ranging from
prime plus .25% to prime plus 2.0%. At December 31, 1997, the Company had
approximately $3,500,000 in unused credit available under such lines.
IMPACT OF PENDING FEDERAL HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION
Management is uncertain what the financial impact will be of the pending federal
health care reform package since the legislation has not been finalized.
However, based on information which has been released to the public thus far,
management doesn't believe that there will be cuts in reimbursements paid to
nursing homes.
Legislative and regulatory action at the state and federal level has resulted in
continuing changes in the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs. The
changes have limited payment increases under those programs. Also, the timing of
payments made under Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to regulatory
action and governmental budgetary constraints. Within the statutory framework of
the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to
administrative rulings and interpretations which may further affect payments
made under these programs. Further, the federal and state governments may reduce
the funds available under those programs in the future or require more stringent
utilization and quality review of health care facilities.
