ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

         Summit Care Corporation (the "Company") principally operates skilled
nursing care centers and assisted living centers located in California, Texas
and Arizona.  The skilled nursing care centers provide subacute,
rehabilitative, specialty medical and skilled nursing care.  The assisted
living centers provide room and board, social and minor medical services in a
secure environment and, in selected situations, provide care to early stage
Alzheimer's residents.  The Company also operates pharmacies which service
skilled nursing care centers, assisted living centers and acute hospitals, both
affiliated and non-affiliated, throughout a substantial portion of Southern
California, as well as mail order services to affiliated skilled nursing care
centers outside of the Southern California area.  In addition, the Company is a
minority partner in a joint venture that manages subacute care units in acute
hospitals.  The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of
California.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company operated 34 skilled nursing care centers
with 4,472 beds.  Currently, the Company operates 35 skilled nursing care
centers with 4,638 beds.  Thirteen centers are in California with 1,551 beds;
twenty-one centers are in Texas with 2,937 beds and one center in Arizona with
150 beds.  Within its skilled nursing care centers, the Company has established
separate units for specialty medical care and subacute:  fourteen units are
dedicated to Alzheimer's and 35 units for patients requiring services for such
complex medical needs as oncology, pulmonary cardiac complications, wounds,
respiratory therapy and intensive physical, speech and occupational therapies.

         The Company operates four assisted living centers with 468 beds in
California.  Included in two of the centers are units dedicated to the needs of
early stage Alzheimer's residents.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company operated two pharmacies in Southern
California.  The pharmacies provide pharmaceutical products and services to 46
non-affiliated skilled nursing care centers, assisted living centers and acute
hospitals located in Southern California.  The pharmacies also provide products
and services to the Company's skilled nursing care and assisted living centers.
The joint venture in which the Company is a minority partner is currently
managing subacute units in four acute hospitals.

         During fiscal year 1996, the Company opened 182 new beds in three
skilled nursing care centers, and in August 1996, subsequently opened another
166 new beds in two skilled nursing care centers.  A new center with 108 beds
was opened in January 1996 in Fresno, California.  This center offers services
to Alzheimer's residents in 52 beds and to subacute/skilled nursing residents
in 56 beds.  The other 74 beds added in fiscal year 1996 were expansion
projects at two skilled nursing care centers in Texas.  The new beds opened in
August 1996, represent 110 beds in a newly constructed skilled nursing care
center in Fort Worth, Texas and 56 additional beds at the new Fresno center.

         Construction is continuing on the Fort Worth center to add another 100
beds later in fiscal 1997.  In addition, plans have been developed or are in
the process of being developed to construct and open 195 new beds in four
centers.  It is presently estimated that the new beds will be open by the
summer of 1997.

          * Centers and beds planned to open by the summer of 1997.
         ** One center with 90 beds was purchased in July 1996 upon exercise of
            an option to purchase.

         In April 1994, OrNda HealthCorp ("OrNda") acquired the Company's then
majority shareholder, Summit Health, Ltd. ("SHL").  The Company completed a
common stock offering in June 1994, which reduced OrNda's percentage ownership
to below 50%.  OrNda owned 7.5% Exchangeable Subordinated Notes ("OrNda Notes")
exchangeable into all of its equity interest in the Company's common stock, at
the option of the holders.  In August 1995, OrNda redeemed 100% of the
outstanding OrNda Notes in exchange for all of its equity interest in the
Company's common stock.  OrNda currently has no position in the Company's
common stock.

         In December 1995, the Company issued $55 million of Senior Secured
Notes ("New Notes") and in July 1996, issued another $15 million of New Notes.
The New Notes are payable as follows:

         The annual fixed interest rate on each New Note ranges from 7.38% on
the earliest maturing New Note to 8.14% on the last New Note to mature and
averages 7.8% when weighted.  The New Notes are secured by certain real estate
in a collateral pool shared, on the basis of dollars committed, with the
investors holding the Company's $25 million Senior Secured Notes and the
lenders under the Company's $40 million bank line of credit.  Proceeds from the
New Notes were used to payoff bank debt ($55,000,000) and for construction
through June 30, 1996 ($6,000,000), and $9,000,000 was invested in short-term,
high quality financial instruments.  Subsequently, $2,022,000 of the invested
funds was used in the exercise of the purchase option in July 1996.  The
balance is expected to be used for future construction projects.  Concurrent
with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company reduced its bank line of credit
from $60,000,000 to $40,000,000 at more favorable interest rates and reduced
the bank line's repayment period following the revolving commitment from four
years to three years.

OPERATIONS

        The Company provides long-term care services at its skilled nursing
care centers, assisted living centers and pharmacies, and manages such services
at acute hospitals through its joint venture.  Long-term care services provided
by the Company are of five types.

        SKILLED NURSING CARE.  Skilled nursing care is offered in each of the
Company's 35 skilled nursing care centers and at the four units managed by the
Company's joint venture.  Skilled nursing care services consist of
round-the-clock care by registered nurses, licensed practical or vocational
nurses and certified aides, room and board, special nutritional programs and
related medical or other services that may be prescribed by a physician.  Each
skilled nursing care center has one or more physicians acting as medical
director and has agreements with hospitals for the transfer of patients
requiring emergency treatment.  Each center also has a licensed administrator
responsible for all activities in the skilled nursing center and a director of
nursing responsible for nursing services.

        The Company has a corporate quality assurance department whose licensed
nurses, dietitians and medical records technicians supervise services in the
skilled nursing care centers.  The Company is seeking to become accredited by
the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations in each of
its centers.  Accreditation has been achieved at the two centers surveyed by
the Commission to date and nine additional centers are scheduled at this time
for survey.

        The Company believes education, training and development provide tools
that enhance the effectiveness of its employees.  The Company's administrators,
directors of nursing and department supervisors are trained to recruit
employees who meet specific standards.  All employees attend a 16-hour general
orientation.  Administrators and department supervisors receive at least 40
hours of training annually.  Other personnel receive twelve hours of training
annually, primarily in customer service.  Clinical training for licensed
nurses, including supervision skills, is conducted by the Company to ensure
each licensed nurse meets the skill competency standards.  An eight-hour
quality improvement program is conducted at each center for employees at all
levels in the center on a yearly basis.

        REHABILITATIVE CARE.  Rehabilitative care is provided in each of the
Company's 35 skilled nursing care centers by outside contractors.
Rehabilitative care consists of respiratory, physical, speech and occupational
therapies and are provided by therapists generally assigned to each center.
The Company provides management and oversight of each center's rehabilitative
care through the use of corporate therapists and therapy administration.

        SUBACUTE AND SPECIALTY MEDICAL SERVICES.  The Company continues to
focus on extending its specialty and subacute services as a means of increasing
revenues and operating margins.  Such services are generally reimbursed at
rates higher than those for routine skilled nursing care and basic assisted
living services.  The services allow the Company to treat a greater range of
patient acuities, which the Company believes results in increased occupancy at
its centers.  The Company's goal is to offer care to patients of the highest
acuity level permitted by a center's physical plant and employee skill levels.
Each skilled nursing care center is certified for participation in the Medicare
reimbursement program and contracts with a physician as medical director who
has a practice specialty related to the subacute or specialty medical services
offered at the center.

        The Company provides wound care, hospice care, oncology services,
pulmonary cardiac services, infection control, pain management and infusion,
enteral nutrition therapy and other specialty medical services in separate
units at all of its skilled nursing care centers.  Also, the Company operates
units for the care of residents in various stages of Alzheimer's.  There
currently are sixteen Alzheimer's units (fourteen in skilled nursing care
centers and two in assisted living centers) with a total of 497 beds and 35
units with 845 beds providing subacute and specialty medical services.





                                       4
   5
        PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.  The Company provides
pharmaceutical products and services through the operation of two pharmacies in
Southern California.  The pharmacies service 46 non-affiliated skilled nursing
care centers, assisted living centers and acute hospitals located throughout a
substantial portion of Southern California, as well as all of the Company's
skilled nursing care and assisted living centers.  Pharmacists are on call 24
hours a day to ensure the availability of medication whenever it is needed.
The pharmacies provide prescription drugs, enteral nutrition therapy services
and infusion therapy services, including nutrition, pain management, antibiotic
and hydration.

        ASSISTED LIVING SERVICES.  The four assisted living centers operated by
the Company are located in California and have 468 beds, with 86 beds dedicated
to early stage Alzheimer's.  Aside from the Alzheimer's units, assisted living
services consist of basic room and board, social activities and assistance with
activities of daily living such as dressing and bathing.  The Company has
developed plans to construct and open 135 beds dedicated to assisted living.
These new beds represent two projects, each located on a campus with an
existing skilled nursing care center or assisted living center.  It is expected
that these new beds will open in the summer of 1997.

        SOURCE OF REVENUE.  The Company's skilled nursing care centers receive
payment for health care services from federally assisted Medicaid programs,
from the federal Medicare program, from programs operated by preferred provider
organizations, health maintenance organizations, the Veterans Administration
and directly from patients or their responsible parties or insurers.  The
assisted living centers receive payment entirely from private individuals, some
of whom depend upon supplemental Social Security payments as their primary
source of income.  The following table sets forth for the Company's skilled
nursing care and assisted living centers the approximate percentages of gross

various sources of payment for the period indicated.

        Changes in the quality mix between Medicaid and either Medicare,
managed care or private pay can significantly affect profitability.  Quality
mix represents revenues from Medicare, managed care and private pay patients as
a percentage of gross revenues excluding pharmacy revenues.  Medicare, managed
care and private pay patients constitute the most profitable categories and
Medicaid patients the least profitable.  The Company has consistently
maintained a high ratio of Medicare, managed care and private pay patients
relative to Medicaid patients; however, no assurance can be given that the
Company's quality mix will not change.

        Specialty medical, subacute, rehabilitative and pharmacy revenues
generally represent the most profitable types of services because the principal
payors for such services are Medicare and managed care and, in the case of
pharmacy revenues, the skilled nursing care centers.  The following tables set
forth the approximate percentages of gross revenues and the amounts for these
types of revenues:

        The pharmacy revenues in the above tables exclude revenues from
affiliated skilled nursing care and assisted living centers.  While the Company
has consistently maintained a high percentage of specialty medical, subacute,
rehabilitative and pharmacy revenues relative to total gross revenues, no
assurance can be given that these high percentages will not change.

        EMPLOYEES.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 3,900
full-time equivalent employees.  None of the Company's employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements and the Company considers the relations with
its employees to be good.  The Company is subject to both federal minimum wage
and applicable federal and state wage and hour laws and maintains various
employee benefit plans.

        As a result of increases in the specialty and subacute services
provided by the Company (which require greater expenditures for equipment,
supplies and independent contractor clinicians than basic nursing services, but
which generally yield a higher margin), salaries and related employee benefits
as a percentage of operating expenses have decreased during the last three
years.  Salaries and related employee benefits accounted for approximately 53%,
56% and 57% of the Company's expenses (excluding rental, depreciation and
amortization and interest) for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

        COMPETITION.  The Company operates in a highly competitive industry.
The Company's skilled nursing care and assisted living centers are located in
communities that also are served by similar centers operated by others.  Some
competing centers provide services not offered by the Company and some are
operated by entities having greater financial and other resources than the
Company.  In addition, some are operated by non-profit organizations or
government agencies supported by endowments, charitable contributions, tax
revenues and other sources not available to the Company.  Furthermore, cost
containment efforts, which encourage more efficient utilization of acute care
hospital services, have resulted in decreased hospital occupancy in recent
years.  As a result, a significant number of acute care hospitals have
converted portions of their facilities to other purposes, including specialty
and subacute units.  In California, Texas and Arizona a certificate of need is
no longer required in order to build or expand a nursing center, which is
another factor increasing competition.  The Company's pharmacies also operate
in a highly competitive environment and compete with regional and local
pharmacies, medical supply companies and pharmacies operated by other long-term
care chains.  The Company also may encounter competition in acquiring or
developing new centers.

        INSURANCE.  The Company maintains general and professional, property,
casualty, health, directors and officers, automobile, crime, employee's and
workers' compensation coverage that the Company believes is adequate. The
Company's workers' compensation insurance for its California and Arizona
employees is funded by Company payments to a rental captive insurance company,
Meridian Insurance Company Ltd.  ("Meridian"), which is partially owned by
persons who sold their interests in SHL to OrNda and resigned their
directorships in the Company.  The funds received by Meridian pay for claims up
to $250,000 per claim and for the purchase of reinsurance coverage for amounts
in excess of the per claim limit and for  annual aggregate claim amounts in
excess of a $1,300,000 stop loss.  Texas employees are covered by a policy for
employer's excess and occupational indemnity for risks in excess of $150,000 up
to $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 annually in the aggregate.  The
Company pays for claims up to $150,000 per occurrence.

        The Company's services subject it to liability risk.  Malpractice
claims may be asserted against the Company if its services are alleged to have
resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects, the risk of which is
greater for higher acuity patients, such as those treated by the Company's
specialty and subacute services, than for traditional long-term care patients.
The Company has from time to time been subject to malpractice claims and other
litigation in the ordinary course of its business.  While the Company believes
that the ultimate resolution of all pending legal proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition, there
can be no assurance that future claims will not have such an effect on the
Company.  Its current policy for general and professional liability coverages
has limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 in the
aggregate per year, respectively, and carries a self-insured retention of
$5,000 and $100,000 per occurrence, respectively, and a $300,000 annual
aggregate loss limit.  In addition, the Company has an umbrella policy which
provides  additional insurance of $8,000,000 per occurrence and $8,000,000
aggregate per year over its primary general and professional policy, its
automobile liability policy and its employer liability policy.

        Although the Company has not been subject to any judgments or
settlements in excess of its self-insured retention or insurance limits, there
can be no assurance that claims for damages in excess of its coverage limits
will not arise in the future.

        Prior to OrNda's acquisition of SHL, the Company was co-insured under
common policies with SHL with respect to general and professional, workers'
compensation, group health and property and casualty.  Currently, with the
exception of workers' compensation, the Company is insured with independent
companies.  Until December 31, 1994, the Company's general and professional
liability risks were insured by Meridian for losses limited to $2,000,000 per
occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate losses.  Also, until December 31,
1994 Tristar Risk Management (formerly TOPA Insurance Company) which is
partially owned by a person who was formerly a shareholder of SHL and formerly
a director of the Company, insured the Company's workers' compensation risks in
California.  The Company's co-insured position with SHL with respect to group
health, property and casualty policies was discontinued effective July 1, 1994.


REGULATION

        LICENSURE.  The Company's skilled nursing care centers, assisted living
centers and pharmacies are subject to various regulatory and licensing
requirements of state and local authorities in California, Texas and Arizona.
Each skilled nursing care center is licensed by either the California
Department of Health Services, the Texas Department of Health or the Arizona
Department of Health Services, as applicable, each assisted living center is
licensed by the California Department of Social Services and the pharmacies are
licensed by the California Board of Pharmacy.  All licenses must be renewed
annually, and failure to comply with applicable rules, laws and regulations
could lead to loss of licenses.  In granting, monitoring and renewing licenses,
these agencies consider, among other things, the physical condition of the
facility, the qualifications of the administrative and nursing staffs, the
quality of care and the compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  In
addition to a variety of state licensing and other laws governing the storage,
handling, sale or dispensing of drugs, and the supervising of a duly licensed
pharmacist, the pharmacies are subject to federal regulation under the Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Prescription Drug Marketing Act.  Moreover, the
Company is required to register its pharmacies with the United States Drug
Enforcement Administration, and to comply with requirements imposed by that
agency with respect to security and reporting of inventories and transactions.
Such regulatory and licensing requirements are subject to change, and there can
be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to maintain necessary
licenses or that it will not incur substantial costs in doing so.  Failure to
comply with licensing requirements could result in the loss of the right to
payment by Medicare or Medicaid as well as the right to conduct the business of
the licensed entity.

        REIMBURSEMENT.  The Company's skilled nursing care centers are subject
to various requirements for participation in government-sponsored health care
funding programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.  To receive Medicare and
Medicaid payments, each center must also comply with a number of rules
regarding charges and claims procedures.  Medicare is a health insurance
program operated by the federal government for the aged and certain chronically
disabled individuals.  Medicare utilizes a cost-based reimbursement system for
free-standing nursing facilities which, subject to limits fixed for the
particular geographic area on the costs for routine services (excluding capital
related expenses), reimburses nursing facilities for reasonable direct and
indirect allowable costs incurred in providing services (as defined by the
program).  Effective October 1, 1993, nursing facilities are no longer paid a
return on equity under Medicare.  Allowable costs normally include
administrative and general costs as well as operating costs and rental,
depreciation and interest expenses.  Reimbursement is subject to retrospective
audit adjustment.  An interim rate based upon estimated costs is paid by
Medicare during the cost reporting period and a cost settlement is made
following an audit of the actual costs as reported in the filed cost report.
Such adjustments may result in additional payments being made to the Company or
in recoupments from the Company.  To the extent that the Company's costs exceed
certain limits known as the Medicare Routine Cost Limits, the Company may
submit exception requests seeking reimbursement for such excess costs from
Medicare.  To date, the Company has filed four exception requests.  Approval
has been received on one and the others are subject to the government
completing their audit of the Medicare cost reports for fiscal year 1995.
There is no assurance the Company will be able to recover such excess costs
under the pending requests or any future requests.  If the Company files
exception requests on a regular basis in the future and fails to recover the
excess costs covered by such requests, such failure could adversely affect the
Company's financial position and results of operations.  In addition, the
Company purchases respiratory therapy services and physical therapy services
and is subject to payment limits for such therapy services imposed by Medicare.
To the extent the Company's actual costs exceed such payment limits, the excess
costs will be denied.  Occupational therapy and speech therapy services are
purchased by the Company from third-party vendors and are not subject to
specific Medicare payment limits; however, the cost of such services has come
under additional scrutiny, and it is possible a portion of such costs may be
disallowed by the Medicare program in the future.  To the extent that costs of
therapy services exceed payment limits and are disallowed by Medicare, the
Company has contractual arrangements with third-party vendors to recover such
costs from the vendors.  The Company maintains reserves to cover retroactive
audit adjustments.  Medicare will reimburse certain products, such as enteral
and parenteral

nutrition, provided by a pharmacy directly to Medicare beneficiaries who are
not eligible for inpatient services based on a fee screen amount.

        Medicaid is a medical assistance program for the indigent, operated by
individual states with financial participation by the federal government.
California, Texas and Arizona each have Medicaid programs.  While the
California, Texas and Arizona programs differ in certain respects, all are
subject to federally imposed requirements.  Approximately 50% of the funds
available under the California program, approximately 63% of the funds
available under the Texas program and approximately 66% of the funds available
under the Arizona program are provided by the federal government under a
matching program.

        Under Medi-Cal, California currently provides for reimbursement of most
routine and ancillary services at free-standing skilled nursing care centers at
a flat daily rate, as determined by the California Department of Health
Services, based on median costs of skilled nursing care centers, classified by
number of beds and geographic location.  Under its Medicaid program, Texas
currently provides for reimbursement at a flat daily rate, as determined by the
Texas Department of Human Services, based on the combination of the mean costs,
median costs and appraised value of assets of skilled nursing care centers,
classified by the required level of patient care.  The Texas legislature has
enacted legislation requiring the Department of Human Services to base its
Medicaid payments for long-term care on minimum data sets.  It is unclear at
the present time how the Department will implement changes from the current
Texas Index of Level of Effort (TILE) system to use of minimum data sets.
Arizona has adopted a managed care approach to providing skilled nursing and
other kinds of care to the indigent.  Under the Arizona system, beneficiaries
enroll in a managed care plan in their area.  That managed care plan, which is
responsible for providing 90 days of inpatient skilled nursing care, contracts
with nursing facilities to provide varying degrees of care, depending upon the
needs of the beneficiaries, at negotiated, per diem rates.  After the 90 days
of skilled nursing care coverage have been exhausted, the beneficiary is
enrolled in a county-operated managed care plan, which also pays skilled
nursing care centers based on a negotiated per diem rate for each of two levels
of service.

        Medi-Cal will reimburse a pharmacy for drugs supplied to patients based
on the cost of the drug plus an additional amount which varies depending on the
type of drugs supplied.

        Effective October 1, 1990, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1987 ("OBRA") was implemented.  Among other things, it eliminated the different
certification standards for "skilled" and "intermediate care" nursing
facilities under the Medicare and Medicaid programs in favor of a single
"nursing facility" standard.  OBRA also mandated an increase in the level of
services nursing centers must provide in order to participate in Medicare and
Medicaid.  This change, the cost of which was partially offset by Medicaid rate
increases in California, Texas and Arizona and an increase in the routine cost
limits under Medicare, thus far has not had a significant impact on the
Company.

        OBRA also requires that substantial additional regulations be
promulgated, covering, among other things, licensure requirements for
administrators, enforcement policies and procedures and the use of restraints
and certain drugs.  While the Company believes that it is in substantial
compliance with the current requirements of OBRA, it is unable to predict how
future interpretation and enforcement of regulations promulgated under OBRA by
the state and federal governments may affect the Company in the future.

        The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "OBRA 93") impacts
Medicare reimbursement for skilled nursing services in two ways, both of which
are expected to have a minimal effect on the Company's earnings.  First, the
current limits on the portion of the Medicare reimbursement known as "routine
service costs" (excluding capital related expenses) will be frozen for two
consecutive years beginning with the Company's 1995 fiscal year.  Second, the
return on equity included in Medicare reimbursement has been eliminated
beginning October 1, 1993.

        Governmental funding for health care programs is subject to statutory
and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy,
determinations by intermediaries and governmental funding restrictions, all of
which may materially increase or decrease program reimbursement to health care
centers.  Since 1972, Congress has consistently attempted to curb federal
spending on such programs.  Recent actions include limitations or freezes on
payments to skilled nursing care centers under the Medicare and Medicaid
programs.  The Company expects that there will continue to be a number of state
and federal proposals to limit Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for health
care services.  The Company cannot at this time predict whether any of such
proposals will be adopted and no assurance can be given that future funding
levels of Medicare and Medicaid programs will remain comparable to present
levels.  Reimbursement limits or other changes in the reimbursement policies as
a result of budget cuts or other government action could materially and
adversely affect the Company's results of operations.  See "Pending Matters
That Affect Health Care Operations," discussed below.  In addition, in
California, the Department of Health Services intends to shift Medi-Cal
beneficiaries in selected service areas into managed





                                       8
   9
care plans.  If this occurs in the service areas of the Company's centers and
if the plans call for covering long-term care, it could have a substantial
unfavorable impact on the Company's revenues.

        In addition, the Company's cash flow could be materially adversely
affected by periodic government program funding delays or budgetary shortfalls.
The Company received approximately 9% of its revenues during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996 from Medi-Cal.  Medi-Cal delayed payments for approximately
30 days and nursing center rate increases for several months in 1991 and
delayed nursing center rate increases for approximately 30 days in 1992.  The
Company believes that it will be able to cover any Medi-Cal payment delays that
may occur in the future from cash on hand or by borrowing under its $40,000,000
bank line of credit.  However, given the percentage of the Company's revenues
derived from Medi-Cal, there can be no assurance that rate freezes or future
delays in payments from Medi-Cal will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        While federal statutes do not provide states with authority to curtail
funding of Medicaid reimbursement programs solely due to budget deficiencies,
some states nevertheless have curtailed funding for this reason.  No assurance
can be given that they will not continue to do so or that future funding levels
of Medicaid programs will remain comparable to present levels.  On June 16,
1990, the United States Supreme Court ruled that health care providers may
bring suit in federal court to enforce the Medicaid Act's requirement that the
states reimburse skilled nursing care centers at rates adequate to cover the
costs of efficiently and economically operated centers.  Operators of skilled
nursing care centers have used the federal courts to require California and
Texas to adequately fund their Medicaid programs.

        COMPLIANCE.  The Company believes that its centers are in substantial
compliance with the various applicable regulatory and licensing requirements of
state and local authorities in California, Texas and Arizona, and of the
Medicare and Medicaid programs, including the requirements of OBRA.  In the
ordinary course of its business, however, the Company from time to time
receives notices from state and federal agencies of failure to comply with
various requirements.  The Company endeavors to take prompt corrective action
and, in most cases, the Company and the reviewing agency agree on remedial
steps.  The reviewing agency may also take action against a center, which can
include the imposition of fines, denial of payment for new patients at the
center, decertification and loss of participation in the Medicare or Medicaid 
programs and, in extreme circumstances, revocation of a center's license.  In 
certain circumstances, certain egregious failures to comply by one or more 
centers with program rules may subject the Company's centers to exclusion from
participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

        ANTI-KICKBACK LAWS.  The Company is also subject to federal and state
laws which govern financial and other arrangements between health care
providers.  Federal law, as well as the law in California, Texas and Arizona
and other states, prohibits direct or indirect payments in some cases or
fee-splitting arrangements between health care providers that are designed to
induce or encourage the referral of patients to, or the recommendation of, a
particular provider for medical products and services.  These laws include the
federal "Anti-kickback law" which prohibits, among other things, the offer,
payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or
to induce, the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients.  A wide array of
relationships and arrangements, including ownership interests in a company by
persons who refer or are in a position to refer patients, as well as personal
service agreements have, under certain circumstances, been alleged or have been
found to violate these provisions.  Certain arrangements, such as the provision
of services for less than fair market value compensation, may also violate such
laws.  Because of the law's broad reach, the federal government has published
regulations, known commonly as "safe harbors," which set forth the requirements
under which certain relationships will not be considered to violate the law.
One of these safe harbors protects investment interests in certain large
publicly traded entities which meet certain requirements regarding the
marketing of their securities and the payment of returns on the investment.  A
second safe harbor protects payments for management services which are set in
advance at a fair market rate and which do not vary with the value or volume of
services referred, so long as there is a written contract which meets certain
requirements.  A safe harbor for discounts, which focuses primarily on
appropriate disclosure, is also available.  A violation of the federal
Anti-kickback law and similar state law could result in the loss of eligibility
to participate in Medicare or Medicaid, or in criminal penalties.

        In addition, the federal government and some states restrict certain
business relationships between physicians and other providers of health care
services.  OBRA 93 contained provisions which greatly expanded the then
existing federal prohibition on physician referrals to entities with which a
physician has a financial relationship.  Effective January 1, 1995, OBRA 93 has
prohibited any physician with a financial relationship (defined as a direct or
indirect ownership or investment interest or compensation arrangement) with an
entity from making a referral for a Medicare or Medicaid (along with certain
other federal payment programs) "designated health service" to that entity, and
prohibits that entity from billing for such services.  "Designated health
services" do not include skilled nursing services, but do include many services
which nursing facilities provide to their patients including therapy and
enteral and parenteral nutrition.  In addition, exceptions exist for





                                       9

physician ownership in publicly traded companies which at the end of a
company's most recent fiscal year end or on average during the past three years
have shareholder equity exceeding $75,000,000 and for the payment of fair
market compensation for the provision of personal services, so long as various
requirements are met.

        California also has a state statute which limits the ability of
physicians to refer patients for certain specified services to an entity with
which it has a financial interest which includes most ownership or compensation
arrangements.  A broad exception applies for referrals to certain licensed
providers, including nursing centers.   Many states, including California,
prohibit business corporations and other persons or entities not licensed to
practice medicine from providing, or holding themselves out as a provider of,
medical care.  Possible sanctions for violation of any of these restrictions or
prohibitions include loss of licensure or eligibility to participate in
reimbursement programs and civil and criminal penalties.  These laws, their
construction and level of enforcement, vary from state to state.

        Each of the Company's skilled nursing care centers has at least one
medical director who is a licensed physician.  The medical directors may from
time to time refer their patients to the Company's centers in their independent
professional judgment. The physician anti-referral restrictions and
prohibitions could, among other things, require the Company to modify its
contractual arrangements with its medical directors or prohibit its medical
directors from referring patients to the Company.  From time to time, the
Company has sought guidance as to the interpretation of these laws, and
believes that such arrangements are consistent with legal requirements.
However, there can be no assurance that such laws will ultimately be
interpreted in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company.

        ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION.  The Company is also subject to a wide
variety of federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and
safety laws and regulations.  Among the types of regulatory requirements faced
by health  care providers are: air and water quality control requirements;
waste management requirements; specific regulatory requirements applicable to
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, and radioactive substances; requirements
for providing notice to employees and members of the public about hazardous
materials and wastes; and certain other requirements.

        In its role as owner and/or operator of properties or centers, the
Company may be subject to liability for investigating and remedying any
hazardous substances that have come to be located on the property, including
any such substances that may have migrated off, or emitted, discharged, leaked,
escaped or been transported from, the property. Ancillary to the Company's
operations are, in various combinations, the handling, use, storage,
transportation, disposal and/or discharge of hazardous, infectious, toxic,
radioactive, flammable and other hazardous materials, wastes, pollutants or
contaminants.  Such activities may result in damage to individuals, property or
the environment; may interrupt operations and/or increase their costs; may
result in legal liability, damages, injunctions or fines; may result in
investigations, administrative proceedings, penalties or other governmental
agency actions; and may not be covered by insurance.  There can be no assurance
that the Company will not encounter such risks in the future, and such risks
may result in material adverse consequences to the operations or financial
condition of the Company.

        PENDING MATTERS THAT AFFECT HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS.  In recent years,
an increasing number of legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress
and various state legislatures that would affect major reforms of the health
care system.  Among the proposals under consideration are insurance market
reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance to small
businesses, requirements that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to
their employees, the provision of federal tax credits to individuals for the
purchase of health insurance and the creation of a single government health
insurance plan that would cover all citizens.  In addition, the Clinton
administration has promulgated proposals including cutbacks to certain Medicare
and Medicaid programs and has proposed steps to permit greater flexibility in
the administration of Medicaid.  In June 1995, a joint resolution was adopted
by Congress to reduce Medicare expenditures by $270 billion and Medicaid
expenditures by $180 billion over the seven-year period between 1995 and 2002.
A portion of such Medicare and Medicaid reductions would likely reduce the
level of payments received by skilled nursing facilities and could adversely
impact revenues received by the Company under the Medicare and Medicaid
Programs.  Until legislation is adopted implementing the budget resolution, the
scope of such proposed reductions is unclear.  Any reduction in federal
Medicaid expenditures would likely result in reductions in state Medicaid
expenditures because Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal and state
governments.  In California, the Department of Health Services has established
plans to enroll many Medi-Cal recipients in managed care plans.  These plans
have the option of covering long-term care in addition to other services, which
could materially and adversely affect the Company's revenues.  Changes in the
reimbursement levels under Medicare or Medicaid and changes in applicable
governmental regulations could materially and adversely affect the Company's
results of operations.  It is uncertain at this time what health care reform
legislation will ultimately be enacted and implemented or whether other changes
in the administration or interpretation of the governmental health care
programs will occur.  There can be no assurance that future health care
legislation or other changes in the administration or interpretation of
governmental health care programs, if enacted, will not have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations of the Company.

          In August 1996, legislation was signed into law that will increase
minimum wages from $4.25 per hour to $4.75 per hour on October 1, 1996 and to
$5.15 per hour on September 1, 1997.  In addition, an initiative statute
entitled "Minimum Wage Increase" has qualified for the November 5, 1996
California ballot.  The initiative statute, Proposition 210, proposes to
increase the current state minimum wage of $4.25 per hour to $5.00 per hour on
March 1, 1997 and then to $5.75 per hour on March 1, 1998 for all industries.
Proposition 210, if passed, would affect minimum wages for California employees
only.  The Company believes that these wage increases will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations.

          Two other initiative measures, Proposition 214 and Proposition 216,
have also qualified for the November 5, 1996 California ballot which may impact
the Company's operations and finances.  Both propositions propose additional
regulation of health care businesses.  Among other matters, Proposition 214
requires health care businesses to make tax returns and other information
public, to disclose certain financial information to consumers including
administrative costs, and to publicly disclose the outcome of all complaints,
arbitrations and lawsuits.  Health care businesses would also be required to
provide for minimum staffing of health care facilities which may require the
Company's facilities to have physician staff.  The initiative statute would
also require the Company and its facilities to show just cause before
discharging or demoting any certified care giver.  Proposition 214 authorizes
public and private enforcement actions for violations of its provisions.
Proposition 216 also regulates health care businesses and addresses certain
matters similar to those contained in Proposition 214.  In addition,
Proposition 216 requires that taxes be assessed on facilities which reduce or
eliminate services, and assesses taxes on facilities involved in sales or
mergers.  Similar to Proposition 214, it authorizes public and private
enforcement actions.

          The growth in health care spending has caused the private sector,
Medicare and state Medicaid programs, to reshape the financing of health care
services for their beneficiaries.  One of the most significant changes to the
financing of health care services which the Company anticipates is the shift to
managed care.  The federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs and
private insurers are anticipated to place greater reliance on managed care
alternatives in the future.  Providers are generally willing to discount
charges for services to managed care plan patients because managed care plans
can direct (or strongly influence) the flow of patients.  The Company believes
that while it is likely that it will service an increasing proportion of
managed care enrollees in the future at payment rates which may not be as
favorable as those presently in effect, the expansion of managed care may also
increase the volume of patients served.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

         Net revenues increased $39,036 or 28.5% from $137,026 in fiscal 1995
to $176,062 in the fiscal year 1996.  The increase occurred due to the
following:

         Average occupancy was 85.9% in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, and new beds were opened in both fiscal years. Excluding acquisitions
and newly constructed beds, the average occupancy was 88.4% in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996 and 89.0% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.  The
Company's quality mix (revenues from Medicare, managed care and private pay
patients as a percentage of gross revenues excluding pharmacy revenues) was
66.7% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 and 63.1% in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995.

         Expenses, consisting of salaries and benefits, supplies, purchased
services, provision for doubtful accounts and other as a percent of net
revenues increased from 82.0% of net revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995 to 84.6% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.  Total salaries and
employee related benefits were 44.4% of net revenues in the fiscal year ended

         Income before rental, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense, net of interest income, increased $2,484 or 10.1% from $24,649 in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 to $27,133 in the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996 and was 15.4% of net revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996
compared to 18.0% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

         Rental, depreciation and amortization and interest expense, net of
interest income, increased by $3,221 or 26.5% from $12,151 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995 to $15,372 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Substantially all of this increase was due to depreciation and amortization,
rent and interest expense related to acquisitions and newly constructed beds in
fiscal years 1995 and 1996.

         The Company's effective tax rate was 37.9% of income in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996 and 39.9% of income in the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995.  Net income after taxes decreased $202 or 2.7% from $7,511 in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995 to $7,309 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

         Net revenues increased by $39,427, or 40.4%, from $97,599 in fiscal
1994 to $137,026 in fiscal 1995.  This increase occurred primarily due to
acquisitions (89.7%) and increased pharmacy operations (6.8%).  The remaining
3.5% increase was due to  increased use of rehabilitative and other specialty
services offset slightly by a decrease in census days due to 102 beds being
removed from service.  Average occupancy decreased to 85.9% in fiscal 1995 from
86.5% in fiscal 1994 including acquisitions.  Excluding acquisitions and newly
constructed beds, average occupancy was 89.0% in fiscal 1995.  The Company's
quality mix was 63.1% in fiscal 1995 and 63.4% in fiscal 1994.

         Expenses, consisting of salaries and benefits, supplies, purchased
services, provision for doubtful accounts and other as a percent of net
revenues declined from 82.6% of revenues in fiscal 1994 to 82.0% in fiscal
1995.  Total salaries and employee related benefits were 47.1% of net revenues
in fiscal 1994 compared to 46.1% of net revenues in fiscal 1995.  Expenses
increased $31,760 or 39.4% from $80,617 in fiscal 1994 to $112,377 in fiscal
1995.  Acquisitions represented 90.3% of this increase, pharmacy costs
increased 3.2% due to new business, rehabilitative and other specialty service
costs rose 5.4% due to a greater utilization of such services during the twelve
months ended June 30, 1995, and other expenses increased 1.1%.

         Income before rental, depreciation and amortization and interest
expenses net of interest income increased $7,667 or 45.2% from $16,982 in
fiscal 1994 to $24,649 in fiscal 1995 and was 18.0% of revenues in fiscal 1995
compared to 17.4% in fiscal 1994.

         Rental, depreciation and amortization and interest expense net of
interest income increased by $5,346 or 78.6% from $6,805 in fiscal 1994 to
$12,151 in fiscal 1995.  Substantially all of this increase was due to
depreciation and amortization, rent and interest expense related to new
acquisitions.

         The Company's effective tax rate was 39.9% of income for fiscal 1995
compared to 39.4% for fiscal 1994.  Net income after taxes increased $1,344 or
21.8% from $6,167 in fiscal 1994 to $7,511 in fiscal 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At June 30, 1996, the Company had $2,658 in cash and cash equivalents
and working capital of $13,906.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $443 for
the year ended June 30, 1996.

         Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $2,424 from $7,014
for the year ended June 30, 1995 to $4,590  for the year ended June 30, 1996.
The decrease is attributable primarily to an increase in amounts owing from the
Company's Medicare fiscal intermediary which amounts are included in other
current assets.

         Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, increased
$7,594 for the year ended June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of acquiring
thirteen skilled nursing care centers and opening two centers constructed by
the Company.  The Company's average accounts receivable days outstanding were
39 at the end of  fiscal year 1996 and were 32 at the end of fiscal years 1995
and 1994.  The increase in accounts receivable days outstanding were primarily
due to an increase in Medicare and managed care revenues.

         For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company added $26,558 to its
property and equipment and $418 to its notes receivable.  The additions to
property and equipment were primarily for the construction of skilled nursing
centers in Fresno, California, and in Ft. Worth, Texas, or $13,927, and the
renovation and replacement of furnishings and equipment at the remaining
centers and the pharmacies, or $12,631.

         The addition to property and equipment and notes receivable totaling
$26,976 were primarily financed with a combination of new long- term debt in
the form of senior secured notes, the bank line of credit and net cash provided
by operating activities.  In December 1995, the Company issued $55,000 of
Senior Secured Notes ("New Notes"), the initial funding of $70,000 in New
Notes.  The remaining amount of $15,000 was issued in July, 1996.  In
transactions related to the New Notes, the Company reduced its bank line of
credit from $60,000 to $40,000 at more favorable interest rates and amended the
indenture for its $25,000 Senior Secured Notes ("Current Notes").  Also, the
bank line of credit's repayment period following the revolving commitment was
reduced from four years to three years.  Holders of the Current Notes and the
New Notes and the Company's bank lenders have entered into an intercreditor
agreement and collateral agreement which provide a security interest in certain
real estate on a pari passu basis and except for certain permitted liens, a
negative pledge on the Company's assets.  The New Notes are payable at the end
of the fifth year ($7,000), the end of the sixth year ($5,000), annually from
the eighth year through the twelfth year ($48,000) and at the end of the
fifteenth year ($10,000).  The annual, fixed interest rate on each New Note
ranges from 7.38% on the earliest maturing New Note to 8.14% on the last New
Note to mature and averages 7.8% when weighted.

         The Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources and cash
flow from its existing operations to service long-term debt due within one year
of $2,985, to make normal recurring capital replacements, additions and
improvements of approximately $11,600 planned for the next 12 months, to
develop properties over the next 12 months costing approximately $11,500 and to
meet other long-term working capital needs and obligations.  The Company
expects, on a selective basis, to pursue expansion of its existing centers and
the acquisition or development of additional centers in markets where
demographics and competitive factors are favorable.  The Company currently has
plans, or is developing plans, to construct





                                       17
   18
and open 195 new beds in four centers by the summer of 1997.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         The health care industry is labor intensive.  Wages and other expenses
increase more rapidly during periods of inflation and when shortages in the
labor market occur.  In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs in the form
of higher prices.  Increases in reimbursement rates under Medicaid generally
lag behind actual cost increases, so that the Company may have difficulty
covering them in a timely fashion.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In March 1995, Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), was issued.  SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to
be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  SFAS 121
also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be
disposed of.  The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1997 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of
adoption will be material.

         In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), was issued which, if
elected, would require companies to use a new fair value method of valuing
stock-based compensation plans.  The Company has elected to continue following
present accounting rules under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" which uses an intrinsic value method
and often results in no compensation expense.  However, at the end of fiscal
year 1997, in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company will provide pro forma
disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the
new fair value method been used.

ITEM 8.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA





                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Board of Directors
Summit Care Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit Care
Corporation and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
1996.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 14(a).  These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Summit
Care Corporation at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its
operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June
30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also,
in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in
all material respects the information set forth therein.

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:  Summit Care Corporation ("Company" or "SCC")
provides a variety of health care services primarily to the elderly through the
operation of subacute, skilled nursing, Alzheimer and assisted living units in
skilled nursing care centers and assisted living centers in California, Texas
and Arizona.  These services include nursing care, lodging, food and certain
specialty medical services, including rehabilitation care, infusion therapy and
other ancillary services.  The Company also provides specialty pharmaceutical
and infusion therapy services to other long-term care providers.  In April
1994, OrNda HealthCorp ("OrNda") acquired the Company's then majority
shareholder, Summit Health Ltd. ("SHL").  The Company completed a common stock
offering in June 1994, which reduced OrNda's percentage ownership to below 50%.
OrNda's 7.5% Exchangeable Subordinated Notes ("OrNda Notes") were exchangeable
into its equity interest in the Company's common stock, at the option of the
holders.  OrNda redeemed 100% of the outstanding OrNda Notes in exchange for
its equity interest in the Company's common stock in August 1995.  OrNda
currently has no position in the Company's common stock.

         BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

         USE OF ESTIMATES:  The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

         INVENTORIES:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out method) or market.

         REVENUES:  Approximately 70 percent, 68 percent, and 69 percent of the
Company's revenues in the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were derived
from funds under Federal and state medical assistance programs, the
continuation of which are dependent upon governmental policies.  These revenues
are based, in certain cases, upon cost reimbursement principles and are subject
to audit.  Revenues are recorded on an accrual basis as services are performed
at their estimated net realizable value.  A significant portion of the
Company's skilled nursing care center revenues is derived from government
sponsored health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.  These programs
are highly regulated and are subject to budgetary and other constraints.  While
the Company's cash flow could be adversely affected by periodic government
program funding delays or shortfalls, management does not believe there are any
significant credit risks associated with these government programs.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Depreciation and amortization (straight-line
method) is based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets as
follows:


                                         
 Building and improvements                  15-40 years
 Leasehold improvements                     Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life
 Furniture and equipment                    3-20 years


         Amortization of capital leases is included in depreciation and
amortization expense.  For leasehold improvements, where the Company has
acquired the right of first refusal to purchase or to renew the lease,
amortization is based on the period covered by the right.

         INTANGIBLE ASSETS:  Goodwill of $2,321, less accumulated amortization
of $116, is included in other assets at June 30, 1996 and is amortized over 35
years using the straight-line method.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE:  Earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock
equivalents arising from stock options which were 6,895,661 for the year ended
June 30, 1996, 6,837,991 for the year ended June 30, 1995 and 5,156,780 for the
year ended June 30, 1994.  The effect of common stock equivalents arising from
stock options on the computation of earnings per share is not significant.

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Cash and cash equivalents include highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.  The
Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality
financial institutions.

         CASH MANAGEMENT:  The Company utilizes a centralized cash management
system.  Payable to bank represents checks outstanding.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:  In March 1995, Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), was issued.
SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount.  SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets
that are expected to be disposed of.  The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1997 and, based on current circumstances, does not
believe the effect of adoption will be material.

         In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), was issued which, if
elected, would require companies to use a new fair value method of valuing
stock-based compensation plans.  The Company has elected to continue following
present accounting rules under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" which uses an intrinsic value method
and often results in no compensation expense.  However, at the end of fiscal
year 1997, in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company will provide pro forma
disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the
new fair value method been used.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS:  Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform
with 1996 presentations.

2.       FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair market value disclosures.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  The carrying amount reported in the
balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

         NOTES RECEIVABLE (INCLUDING CURRENT PORTION):  The carrying amount is
$5,786.  The fair value of $6,065 is estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, based on interest rates currently being offered for notes with
similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

         LONG-TERM DEBT (INCLUDING CURRENT PORTION):  The $110,374 carrying
value of long-term debt is based on the original face value (issue amount).
The fair value of $94,931 is based on present value of the underlying cash
flows discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

3.       MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED ENTITIES

         ORNDA HEALTHCORP AND SUMMIT HEALTH LTD.:  The Company has an agreement
with OrNda under which the Company leases a portion of its corporate office
space to OrNda and shares the cost of building services with OrNda.  The
agreement also requires OrNda to provide tax accounting to the Company.  The
Company's reimbursement to OrNda for these services, less rental income from
OrNda for the space, approximated $50 for the year ended June 30, 1996, $23 for
the year ended June 30, 1995 and $350 for the year ended June 30, 1994.  The
Company believes that the amount reimbursed is reasonable for the services
provided.  The agreement which expires in March 1997 also indemnifies the
Company against any liability arising from its divestiture of facilities, the
net assets of which were purchased by SHL during the year ended June 30, 1992.
The provisions of the indemnification will survive the termination of the
agreement.  Certain provisions of this agreement have been terminated or
amended as a result of the redemption on August 28, 1995 by OrNda of 100% of
the OrNda Notes in exchange for the Company's common stock (see Note 1).





                                       27
   28
         At June 30, 1996, the net amount due from OrNda for transactions
between the Company and OrNda was $602 and is included in Other Current Assets
(see Note 5).

         SUMMIT PROPERTIES AND SIERRA LAND GROUP, INC.:  Prior to the
acquisition of SHL by OrNda in April 1994, certain owners of Summit Properties
and Sierra Land Group, Inc. ("Sierra"), collectively (the affiliates), also
were principal shareholders of SHL, some of whom were also directors of the
Company.  OrNda acquired their ownership interest in SHL and those who were
directors of the Company resigned as directors.  In January 1994, the Company
entered into a ten-year sub-lease of a nursing care center leased by SHL from
Sierra.  The Company believes the monthly lease payments of $37 are reasonable
for the market area.  Lease payments to OrNda and SHL were $450 for each of the
years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and $225 for the year ended June 30, 1994.

         INSURANCE COVERAGE:  Prior to OrNda's acquisition of SHL, the Company
was co-insured under common policies with SHL with respect to general and
professional, workers' compensation, group health and property and casualty.
Currently, with the exception of workers' compensation, the Company is insured
with independent companies.  The Company rents a captive insurance company,
Meridian Insurance Company Ltd. ("Meridian"), which is partially owned by
persons who sold their interests in SHL to OrNda and resigned their
directorships in the Company, for the purpose of providing reinsurance coverage
for its workers' compensation claims up to $250 per occurrence and $1,300 on an
annual aggregate basis.  Until December 31, 1994, the Company's general and
professional liability risks were insured by Meridian for losses limited to
$2,000 per occurrence and $2,000 annual aggregate losses.  Also, until December
31, 1994, Tristar Risk Management (formerly TOPA Insurance Company), which is
partially owned by a person who was formerly a shareholder of SHL and formerly
a director of the Company, insured the Company's workers' compensation risks in
California.  The Company's co-insured position with SHL with respect to group
health, property and casualty policies was discontinued effective July 1, 1994.
Amounts incurred by the Company for premium expense payable to insurance
companies during the time they were affiliated with the Company were $1,605 and
$3,015 for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

4.       ACQUISITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY

         FISCAL YEAR 1996:  On January 8, 1996, the Company opened a 108-bed
skilled nursing care center in Fresno, California, and in August 1996, opened
another 56 beds at the same site.  Total cost of construction including the
original purchase price (see this note, Fiscal Year 1994) was $13,005,
including an estimated $300 to complete construction after June 30, 1996 (see
Note 11).

         In March 1996, the Company added 20 licensed beds to one of its two
skilled nursing care centers in Beaumont, Texas, increasing the center's total
beds to 148.  Total cost of construction was $785.  In June 1996, the Company
also added 54 beds to its skilled nursing care center in Longview, Texas,
increasing the total beds to 182.  Total cost of construction was $1,860.

         Cost of construction completed in the year ended June 30, 1996 was
financed with funds from the senior secured notes issued in December 1995 and
draws against the Company's bank line of credit (see Note 6).

         FISCAL YEAR 1995:  On September 1, 1994, the Company purchased a
220-bed skilled nursing care center in White Settlement (Fort Worth), Texas,
for $11,925 in cash and a four-acre site for $1,500 in cash for construction of
a 210-bed skilled nursing care center located in Fort Worth, Texas, which began
in May 1995 (see Note 11).

         The Company acquired on October 1, 1994 the leasehold interest in six
skilled nursing care centers and the real and personal property of a seventh
with a combined total of 783 beds located in various communities in Texas for
$30,938, including goodwill of $2,321.  The purchase price consists of (I)
$11,470 in cash (of which $8,541 was funded under the Company's bank line of
credit), (ii) a $2,814 promissory note ($3,000 less a $186 discount) at 9%
interest (7% contract rate) fully amortized in seven years and (iii) a $16,654
capital lease obligation assumed by the Company.  The leases on the six centers
range from eight to twenty-one years, include purchase options, the first
exercisable in July 1996, and the last exercisable in February 2005, and have
combined monthly payments of $159 (see Note 11).

         On December 1, 1994, the Company acquired four skilled nursing care
centers in three communities in East Texas with a combined total of 548 beds
for $27,000 in cash and, in a separate transaction, the leasehold interest in a
119-bed skilled nursing care center located in Big Spring, Texas, for $800 in
cash.  Both transactions were funded under the Company's bank line of credit.

         The Company's acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired centers have been
included in the consolidated statement of income since the date of acquisition.

         The Company completed in May 1995 an addition of 74 beds to a 76-bed
nursing care center which is operated under a ten-year sub-lease with OrNda
(see Note 3).

         FISCAL YEAR 1994:  The Company acquired a 206-bed skilled nursing care
center located in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area on December 1, 1993, for
$6,742 consisting of $1,042 in cash, the assumption of existing debt of $4,523
and a new note to the seller for $1,177.  On January 4, 1994, the Company
assumed operation of a 76-bed skilled nursing care center under a ten-year
sub-lease with OrNda (see Note 3) requiring monthly lease payments of $37.
Also, in January 1994, the Company purchased a former psychiatric hospital in
Fresno, California, for $4,200 in cash (see this note, Fiscal Year 1996).  In
June 1994, construction was completed on a 114-bed skilled nursing care center
located in Lubbock, Texas, which had been a former hospital and was acquired
from Summit Properties in May 1992 for $900 in cash.  The cost of construction
was $4,582 paid in cash.  The new center opened for operations in July 1994.

         In June 1994, the Company obtained a $25,000 bank line of credit
secured by property, equipment and accounts receivable.  In November 1994, the
Company obtained a $20,000 short-term, unsecured line of credit from a bank.
In February 1995, an amendment to the Company's secured bank line of credit was
consummated which increased the commitment from $25,000 to $60,000.  In
December 1995, the Company amended the secured bank line of credit which
reduced the commitment to $40,000, converted accounts receivable from
collateral to a negative pledge, extended the revolver to September 30, 1997
and reduced the period of the term loan upon termination of the revolver from
four to three years.  The interest rate is variable and at the Company's
option, will equal either the bank prime rate or the Eurodollar rate plus a
margin (reduced by the amendment) that varies depending on the ratio of certain
senior debt to earnings before certain interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization.  At June 30, 1996, loans outstanding were $6,000 which was used
to finance the construction described in Note 4 (see Note 11).

         The bank line of credit loan agreement and the two senior secured note
agreements contain covenants that include requirements to comply with certain
financial tests and ratios and restrict the ability of the Company to incur
additional indebtedness.  Also, the Company is restricted by the agreements
from the payment of dividends (other than dividends payable in common stock) or
to acquire its common stock to the extent that such payments exceed $5,000 plus
50% of the Company's net income after June 30, 1995.  The Company currently is
meeting all financial tests and ratios.

         Interest expense was $8,701, $6,033, and $3,172 in fiscal years 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, of which $1,605, $759 and $525 in 1996, 1995 and
1994 were capitalized as part of the ongoing construction projects.  Interest
payments were $7,874, $5,712 and $3,165 in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

7.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company filed consolidated Federal income tax returns with SHL and
combined state tax returns with SHL and Sierra pursuant to a tax-sharing
agreement for the periods prior to the Company's initial public offering of
common stock completed on March 18, 1992.  The Company's tax sharing agreement
with SHL provides for the indemnification of the Company for any final
determination of tax, interest and penalties which may be due as a result of
audits for tax years through June 30, 1991.  SHL also indemnified the Company
for any Federal income taxes, interest and penalties that may be finally
determined to be payable by SHL or its affiliates for the year ended June 30,
1992, that is allocable to SHL or its affiliates other than the Company.
However, the Company as a member of the SHL consolidated group is jointly and
severally liable for group Federal income tax liabilities related to periods
prior to March 18, 1992.  In the event that SHL is not able to discharge any
such liabilities fully, the Company could be held responsible for any unpaid
portion.  Between March 18, 1992 and April 19, 1994, the date SHL was acquired
by OrNda, the Company filed a combined California return with SHL and Sierra,
but filed a separate Federal income tax return.  Subsequent to April 19, 1994,
the Company files separate California and Federal income tax returns.

         The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

financial statement purposes in future years.  Temporary differences are
primarily attributable to reporting for income tax purposes excess of tax over
book depreciation, bad debts and vacation benefits.  The current deferred tax
assets are included in other current assets (see Note 5).  Significant
components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of June 30

9.      CONTINGENCIES

        The Company is subject to malpractice claims and other litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, any
liability beyond amounts covered by insurance and the ultimate resolution of
all pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

10.     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        On June 16, 1994, the Company completed a common stock offering of
1,725,000 shares at a price of $17.75.  The net proceeds of this transaction
were $28,819.

        Effective July 1, 1991, the Company adopted a stock option plan
authorizing issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock.  The plan was amended
on December 9, 1994 and again on December 8, 1995 to increase the authorized
shares to 1,400,000.  Options may be granted to key employees, and directors,
of the Company.  Options granted to employees may be either incentive stock
options or nonstatutory options.  Only non-qualified options may be granted to
non-employee directors.  Options granted to non-employee directors are granted
automatically pursuant to a formula grant provision contained in the plan.  The
option price per share for incentive stock options shall not be less than 85%
of fair market value at the date of the grant.  The terms of each option and
the increments in which it is exercisable are determined by a committee
appointed by the Board of Directors.  No option may be exercised after ten
years from the date of the grant and no option may be granted under the plan
after June 30, 2001.

        The following summarizes activity in the stock option plan:

11.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         In July 1996, the Company issued $15 million Senior Secured Notes
("Notes") which represented the second and last issuance of $70 million of
Notes.  The first issuance of $55 million occurred in December 1995.  The
second series of notes have the same terms as the first series except that the
interest rates are 0.05% higher than the fixed rates for the first series of
notes (see Note 6).  The proceeds from the July 1996 Notes were used to repay
$6,000 in bank credit line loans, there now being no outstanding bank credit
line loans, and the balance of $9,000 was invested in short-term, high credit
quality financial instruments.

         In July 1996, the Company exercised a purchase option in its lease of
a 90-bed skilled nursing care center in Rockport, Texas.  The purchase price of
$2,022 was financed with funds from the Notes issued in July 1996 (see above).
In August 1996, the Company opened 110 beds of its planned 210-bed skilled
nursing care center in White Settlement (Fort Worth), Texas and opened 56
additional beds at its skilled nursing care center in Fresno, California, which
initially opened in January 1996 with 108 beds (see Note 4).
