Rx MEDICAL SERVICES CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are for
interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the audited annual
consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the footnotes thereto, together with management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 of Rx Medical
Services Corp. (the "Company"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a
normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. The December 31, 1997 balance sheet was derived from audited
consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company began operating its hospital management division in 1995 and
revenues include the results of operations from August 1, 1995. In 1996, the
Company began operating two additional hospitals - the Dickenson County Medical
Center located in Clintwood, Virginia ("DCMC") and the Whitwell Medical Center
located in Whitwell, Tennessee ("WMC"). Revenues include the results of
operations of DCMC from April 1, 1996 and WMC from April 1, 1996 to October 31,
1996. In 1997, the Company began operating the Pittsburgh Specialty Hospital
("PSP"), formerly known as the Podiatry Hospital of Pittsburgh, located in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and revenues include the results of operations from
that facility from January 1, 1997.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the medical diagnostic services business
segment has been reflected as discontinued operations in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 which provides for the reporting of
operating results of discontinued operations separately from the continuing
operations.
The Company has experienced significant losses in each of the past three years,
had a working capital deficit of $47.1 million at September 30, 1998, is in
default with respect to certain indebtedness and there are uncertainties
regarding the Company's compliance with federal and state self-referral
regulations while operating its medical diagnostic services business segment.
However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis
that the Company will continue as a going concern because management believes it
has an attainable plan to overcome these matters and provide sufficient capital
to operate for the coming year. The Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent on the continued funding of its operations from its primary
lender, National Century Financial Enterprises, Inc. and it's affiliates (the
"Financing Source") or an alternative source, without which funding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern would be adversely impacted.
While the Company has not yet reached operational profitability, the Company is
exploring plans to improve profitability, as well as cash flow, including the
continued development of its hospital
8 of 19
9
management and pharmaceutical products distribution businesses, while also
seeking the acquisition of ancillary related businesses. This expansion will
focus on increased revenues, market share and positive cash flow. Also, expense
reductions are expected to be achieved through the continuing implementation of
cost cutting and reorganization strategies.
Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
requires public companies to present basic earnings (net loss) per share and, if
applicable, diluted earnings (net loss) per share for all periods that
statements of operations are presented. The statement is effective for all
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
requires restatement of earnings (net loss) per share for all periods presented.
The Company has only presented basic net loss per share since (a) the potential
common shares of the Company would be anti-dilutive and (b) the Company has
reflected net losses from continuing operations for all periods presented and
thus the diluted net loss per share would be the same as basic net loss per
share.
The following tables reflect the computation of the net loss per common share
(in thousands except per share amounts):

Note 3 - Notes Payable - Related Party
At September 30, 1998, notes payable included approximately $44.9 million due
to the Financing Source, through which the Company has obtained financing
collateralized by certain accounts receivable and property.
Note 4 - Long-Term Debt
On July 23, 1998, the pending lawsuit against the Company and Manatee Medical
Laboratories, Inc. by Eduardo R. Latour, as Trustee for Physicians Reference
Lab Short Term Trust filed in the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Florida
(Case No. 96-00683 -CI-15) was settled. A stipulation of settlement was entered
into by the parties pursuant to which a voluntary dismissal with prejudice was
filed with the Clerk of the Court. Pursuant to the settlement $3.1 million of
long-term debt and $0.7 million of accrued interest was retired for $0.6
million in cash. The Company, due to the settlement of this lawsuit, recognized
a gain on settlement of indebtedness of $3.2 million during the third quarter
of 1998.
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
On July 27, 1998, the lawsuit pending in the United States District Court,
Eastern District of California (Fresno) under the title SHARI RAINWATER AND
GREG RAINWATER V. RX MEDICAL SERVICES CORP., ET. AL. (Case No. CV-F-95-5596
REC/DIR) was settled for $200,000 in cash. A notice of settlement and a
stipulation for settlement were filed with Clerk of the Court
The "Year 2000 Issue" exists because many computer systems and applications,
building infrastructure components, computer aided medical equipment and other
operations related equipment that have date sensitive systems, which currently
use two-digit fields to designate a year, may recognize the year 2000 as 1900,
or not at all. This could result in system and/or equipment failures or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations. The Company has
10 of 19
11
performed an initial assessment of the impact of the "Year 2000 Issue" and
based on this initial assessment, the Company believes that its accounting
systems and operations may substantially avoid the "Year 2000 Issue", thereby
enabling it to properly process critical financial and operational information
and that the cost associated with addressing the "Year 2000 Issue" is not
expected to be material. There can be no assurance, however, that the systems
of other entities on which the Company's systems and operations rely will be
timely converted to address the "Year 2000 Issue", or that a failure to convert
by another entity, or a conversion that is incompatible with the Company's
systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.
Note 6 - Shareholders' Deficit
Effective July 1, 1998, the 600,270 issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's Series F Preferred Stock, held in the name of Intercontinental
Investment Associates, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company ("IIA"), which
is an affiliate of the Financing Source, were converted into 600,270 shares of
the Company's Common Stock.
On July 1, 1998, a holder of Series C Preferred Stock exchanged 16,759 shares
of Series C Preferred Stock for 28,775 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
On July 14, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the creation
of the Series G Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Series G Preferred
Stock, par value of $.001, that the Company is authorized to issue is 1,500,000
shares. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock is convertible into the
Company's Common Stock based on the market value of the Company's Common Stock
on the date of conversion. The holders of the shares of Series G Preferred
Stock can convert twenty-five percent (25%) of their original shares into the
Company's Common Stock commencing on July 1, 1999 and on July 1st of each
succeeding year, through July 1, 2002, when all remaining shares of Series G
Preferred Stock automatically convert into the Company's Common Stock. This
series of preferred stock pays dividends quarterly at the rate of $.15 per
share per annum, payable at the Company's discretion in cash or the Company's
Common Stock.
On July 14, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance
to IIA of 800,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock in consideration for a
cash funding to the Company by the Financing Source of approximately $800,000
which was utilized by the Company to finance the litigation settlements
described above. No registration was required for the issuance of these 800,000
shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the exemption
contained in Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction not involving a public
offering.
On July 14, 1998, the Company authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of
its Common Stock, par value $.002 per share, to IIA. These shares were issued
in consideration of the cancellation by the Financing Source of $800,000 of
indebtedness owed by the Company to an affiliate of the Financing Source and
was based on the market value of the Company's Common Stock of $.16 per share
on July 14, 1998, the date the indebtedness was canceled.
11 of 19
12
On July 23, 1998, a holder of Series C Preferred Stock exchanged 341,893 shares
of Series C Preferred Stock for 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Based on the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock issued to IIA and
the four individual owners of IIA, a change in the control of the Company has
occurred. IIA owns directly or indirectly 9,235,972 shares of the 17,353,864
shares of the Company's $.002 par value Common Stock issued and outstanding as
of September 30, 1998. This ownership represents 53.2% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's $.002 par value Common Stock as of
September 30, 1998. The ownership percentage does not take into account
following:
a) Dividends in arrears of $120,054 on the Series F Preferred Stock,
which were in the name of IIA, as of September 30, 1998, which is to
be paid by the issuance of 628,950 shares of the Company's Common
Stock,
b) the issuance to IIA of 800,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock,
which are convertible into the Company's Common Stock, or
c) dividends in arrears of $25,643 on the Series G Preferred Stock as of
September 30, 1998, which are to be paid by the issuance of 170,960
shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Note 7- Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," requires entities presenting a complete set of financial statements to
include details of comprehensive income that arises in the reporting period in
a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. The statement does not affect the measurement of the
components of comprehensive income or introduce new categories of comprehensive
income. The statement does not apply to entities that have no items of
comprehensive income in any period presented. This statement is effective for
periods beginning after December 31, 1997. This statement does not apply to the
Company's financial statements as there are no items of comprehensive income in
any of the periods being presented.
Note 8 - Segment Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires disclosure of net
profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and certain asset
items by reportable segments and how reportable segments are determined. The
statement defines a reportable segment as a component of an entity about which
separate financial information is produced internally, that is evaluated by the
chief operating decision-maker to assess performance and allocate resources.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The Company operates in two business segments: the operation and management of
hospitals and medical clinics, and the distribution of pharmaceutical products.
During 1995, the Company

September 30, 1998 were $3.8 million compared to $4.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in revenues from hospitals and
medical clinics is primarily the result of (a) a decrease in patient services
provided at DCMC which resulted in a decrease of revenues of approximately $0.6
million, and (b) a cumulative decrease at other Company hospital and medical
clinics of approximately $0.2 million.
Revenues from the pharmaceutical products distribution division for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 were $0.4 million. Nominal revenues were
generated during the three months ended September 30, 1997 due to litigation
commenced as a result of a dispute between the Company and its joint venture
partner. Notwithstanding this litigation, the pharmaceutical products
distribution division is moving forward and anticipates generating revenues
during the fourth quarter of 1998.
Costs and expenses decreased 8% to $5.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997. Of these 1998 expenses, hospital management operations accounted for $4.6
million, pharmaceutical products distribution accounted for $0.3 million, and
the corporate expenses of the Company were $0.3 million. The decrease in costs
and expenses is primarily the result of (a) a decrease in patient services
provided at DCMC resulting in a decrease of costs and expenses of approximately
$0.4 million; (b) an increase in sales from the pharmaceutical products
distribution division resulting in a increase in costs and expense of
approximately $0.2 million, and (c) a cumulative decrease at other Company
hospital and medical clinics and the Company's corporate headquarters of
approximately $0.2 million.
Interest expense increased 25% to $2.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997. This increase is due to a higher level of borrowings from the Financing
Source. (see "Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources" below).
NINE MONTHS:
Revenues from hospitals and medical clinics for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 were $12.3 million compared to $15.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. The decrease in revenues from hospitals and medical clinics
is primarily the result of (a) a decrease in patient services provided at DCMC
which resulted in a decrease of revenues of approximately $2.3 million, and (b)
a cumulative decrease at other Company hospital and medical clinics of
approximately $0.6 million.

Revenues from the pharmaceutical products distribution division for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 were $0.8 million compared to $0.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase is primarily due to the
current pharmaceutical product mix being in high demand and thus commanding
higher sales prices.
Costs and expenses decreased 14% to $15.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. Of these 1998 expenses, hospital management operations accounted for
$13.8 million, pharmaceutical products distribution accounted for $0.7 million,
and the corporate expenses of the Company were $1.0 million. The decrease in
costs and expenses is primarily the result of (a) a decrease in patient
services provided at DCMC resulting in a decrease of costs and expenses of
approximately $1.4 million; (b) a decrease in patient services and the
implementation of cost cutting strategies at PSP resulting in a decrease of
costs and expenses of approximately $0.2 million; and (c) a cumulative decrease
at other Company hospital and medical clinics and the Company's corporate
headquarters of approximately $0.5 million.
Interest expense increased 19% to $5.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This increase is due to a higher level of borrowings from the Financing
Source. (see "Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources" below).
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's working capital
deficit increased by approximately $2.2 million to $47.1 million. This increase
in the working capital deficit was primarily due to the $4.6 million increase
in the level of funding from the Financing Source, the settlement of the
Manatee Medical Laboratories, Inc. lawsuit which reduced the current portion of
long-term debt and related accrued interest by $3.2 million and continuing
operating losses. Through September 30, 1998, the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the continued funding of its operations by
the Financing Source. Without this funding, the Company's ability to operate
its business would be adversely impacted. As a result of the elimination by the
Company of a portion of its unprofitable operations, the continued dependence
on the Financing Source has been lessened. However, until the Company's
revenues increase so as to exceed the Company's operating expenses, the Company
will continue to utilize funding from the Financing Source, or other
alternative sources of funding, to the extent available. To the extent fundings
from the Financing Source are insufficient to pay the Company's operating
expenses, the Company will require alternative sources of funding. There can be
no assurance that any alternative sources of financing will be available to the
Company at such point in time, or if obtainable, on terms that are commercially
feasible.
The Company's continuing operations are presently being funded through
financing agreements with the Financing Source and the Company's various
operating subsidiaries. Agreements to finance eligible accounts receivable
exist with five of the Company's operating subsidiaries.

While the Company has not yet reached profitability operationally, it has
several plans of action in progress designed to improve profitability as well
as cash flow. The Company has divested a portion of its loss operations and
will continue to pursue additional sources of revenues by expanding its
hospital operations and other specialty medical services.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1 Financial Statements.
GOING CONCERN
The reports of the independent auditors of the Company on its 1997, 1996 and
1995 consolidated financial statements express substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Factors contributing to this
substantial doubt include recurring operating losses, a working capital
deficiency and delinquencies, defaults on its accounts payable and other
outstanding liabilities, litigation, as well as to the uncertainty of the
Company's compliance with certain Medicare and state statutes and regulations.
As of January 1, 1995, the Company's subsidiary that operated the medical
diagnostic services business segment ("Manatee") was unable to comply with
certain provisions of the OBRA 1993 amendments to the Stark Act, as well as,
certain similar state statutes. Although the Company has not been the subject
of, and is not currently the subject of, any administrative proceedings
concerning violations of federal or state self-referral statutes or
regulations, in the event that the Company is found to have violated such
statutes and regulations, it could be subject to cumulative fines and penalties
and could also be required to make refunds, which may aggregate up to
approximately $50.0 million. The Company believes, however, that due to the
filing of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition for Manatee in April 1996, the
likelihood of such enforcement actions occurring is remote.
As mentioned in the Financial Condition section, the Company is dependent on
the continued funding currently being received from the Financing Source to
continue operations. The discontinuance of such funding, and the unavailability
of financing to replace such funding, could result in the Company ceasing its
operations.
