NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation - ------------------------------ In accordance with the merger agreement, the Company's name changed from HCR Manor Care, Inc. to Manor Care, Inc. (the Company) on September 25, 1999. As a result of the parent company name change, in September 1999 Manor Care, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, changed its name to Manor Care of America, Inc. (Manor Care). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods and, except as discussed in Note 2, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in HCR Manor Care, Inc.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. At September 30, 1999, the Company operated 299 skilled and 45 assisted living facilities, 85 outpatient therapy clinics, 1 acute care hospital, 105 medical specialty units and 33 home health offices. NOTE 2 - Restructuring Charge, Merger Expenses, Asset Impairment and Other - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related Charges - --------------- The components of the charge consist of the following (in thousands): Cash/ Liability at Liability at Non-cash 12/31/98 Charge Activity 9/30/99 -------- -------- ------ -------- ------- Manor Care planned spin-off: Employee benefits cash $617 $219 $(731) $105 HCR and Manor Care merger: Employee benefits cash 28,294 (23,074) 5,220 Other exit costs cash 4,234 (1,005) 3,229 Other costs: Amortization non-cash 12,240 (12,240) Duplicate costs cash 2,328 (2,328) Other cash 1,000 (850) 150 ------- ---------- ---------- ------- Total $34,145 $14,787 $(40,228) $8,704 ======= ======= ======== ====== 6 7 In Manor Care's planned spin-off, the employees did not receive lump-sum severance payments upon termination but receive their severance as biweekly payments through 1999. In the HCR and Manor Care merger, 531 employees received termination notices and at September 30, 1999 all but 2 employees have left the Company. A number of employees who left the Company continue to be paid severance payments on a biweekly basis through 1999. The non-cash charge for amortization primarily related to certain Manor Care software applications which are being used until the transition to HCR applications. The carrying value of the software was amortized over its remaining estimated useful life. Certain general and administrative costs of $2.3 million represented salaries and benefits for employees performing duplicate services in Toledo or Gaithersburg in the first quarter. NOTE 3 - Earnings Per Share - --------------------------- The calculation of earnings per share (EPS) is as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30 September 30 ------------------------ ------------------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- ---- (In thousands, except earnings per share) Numerator: Income (loss) from continuing operations (income available to common stockholders) $33,497 $(142,806) $108,141 $(73,844) ======= ========= ======== ======== Denominator: Denominator for basic EPS - weighted-average shares 106,212 108,475 109,187 108,317 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 1,041 1,192 -------- -------- -------- ------- Denominator for diluted EPS - adjusted for weighted-average shares and assumed conversions 107,253 108,475 110,379 108,317 ======= ======= ======= ======= EPS - income (loss) from continuing operations Basic $.32 $(1.32) $.99 $(.68) Diluted $.31 $(1.32) $.98 $(.68) NOTE 4 - Divestitures - --------------------- During the second quarter, the Company exercised a purchase option on Manor Care's corporate headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland and sold the property realizing net proceeds of $25 million and a $10.3 million gain ($6.3 million after tax). In conjunction with selling the Manor Care corporate headquarters, three interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $30.3 million that hedged the operating lease payments for the property were terminated for a gain of $.5 million. The Company formed a strategic alliance with Alterra Healthcare Corporation (Alterra) in 1998. Two of the key provisions of the alliance include the sale of twenty-six centers and the lease of two centers to Alterra in 1999 and the creation of a joint venture to develop and construct up to $500 7 8 million of specialized assisted living residences in the Company's core markets over the next three to five years. During the second quarter the Company closed on three of the twenty-six assisted living facilities for $13 million realizing a $.6 million gain ($.3 million after tax). During the third quarter, the Company closed on the sale of twenty-three additional facilities for $146 million realizing an $8.0 million gain ($4.9 million after tax). As part of the development joint venture, the Company contributed fourteen properties (six of which were open) on June 30, 1999 and six properties on September 30, 1999 with a net book value of $74 million and recognizing no gain or loss. The gains on asset sales have all been recorded as extraordinary items as required after a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests. NOTE 5 - Debt - ------------- The Company's $300 million credit agreement (364 Day Agreement) which matured September 24, 1999 was amended and now provides for a $200 million credit agreement. Loans under the amended 364 Day Agreement which mature September 22, 2000, bear interest at variable rates that reflect, at the election of the Company, either the agent bank's base lending rate or an increment over Eurodollar indices of .50% to 1.275%, depending on the quarterly performance of a key ratio. In addition, the 364 Day Agreement provides for a fee on the total amount of the facility, ranging from .125% to .225%, depending on the performance of the same ratio. Whenever the aggregate utilization of the 364 Day Agreement and the 5 Year Agreement exceeds $350 million, an additional fee of .05% is charged on loans under the 5 Year Agreement and an additional fee ranging from .10% to .125% is charged on loans under the 364 Day Agreement, based on the performance of a key ratio. The Company and Alterra have jointly and severally guaranteed a $200 million revolving credit agreement of the development joint ventures in which each company has a 50% interest. At September 30, 1999 there was $48 million of guaranteed debt outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. NOTE 6 - Stock Purchase - ----------------------- On May 4, 1999 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $200 million of its common stock through December 31, 2000. The shares may be used for internal stock option and 401(k) match programs and for other uses, such as possible future acquisitions. During the second and third quarter, the Company purchased 7,601,100 shares for $164 million. NOTE 7 - New Accounting Pronouncements - -------------------------------------- In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133), which was postponed in Statement No. 137 and is now effective January 1, 2001. This Statement permits early adoption as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. This Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Management has not determined when it will adopt this Statement nor has it determined the impact of adoption. 8 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ----------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations ------------- OVERVIEW The Company is a provider of a range of health care services, including skilled nursing care, assisted living, subacute medical care, rehabilitation therapy, home health care and management services for subacute care, rehabilitation therapy, vision care and eye surgery. The most significant portion of the Company's business relates to skilled nursing care and assisted living facilities. At September 30, 1999, the Company operated 299 skilled and 45 assisted living facilities. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company opened two skilled nursing and 12 assisted living facilities, and divested 31 assisted living facilities as explained below. The Company formed a strategic alliance with Alterra Healthcare Corporation (Alterra) in 1998. Two of the key provisions of the alliance include the sale of twenty-six centers and lease of two centers to Alterra in 1999 and the creation of a joint venture to develop and construct up to $500 million of specialized assisted living residences in the Company's core markets over the next three to five years. During the second and third quarter of 1999, the Company sold twenty-six assisted living facilities to Alterra, leased one facility to Alterra and contributed twenty properties to development joint ventures. Thirty-one of these assisted living facilities were open prior to being sold or leased. Under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, a new Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) commenced on July 1, 1998. The new payment system becomes effective for different segments of the health care continuum (hospitals, skilled nursing, home health, etc.) at different times and even commences at different dates for different nursing facilities. The former HCR long-term care facilities transitioned onto PPS in January 1999 and the former Manor Care facilities in June 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased $20.7 million or 4% to $536.7 million as compared to the same period in 1998. Revenues from skilled nursing and assisted living facilities decreased $24.1 million or 5% due to decreases in rates ($20.3 million) and occupancy ($16.2 million) partially offset by an increase in capacity ($12.4 million). Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased $54.9 million or 3% to $1.6 billion as compared to the same period in 1998. Revenues from skilled nursing and assisted living facilities decreased $57.3 million or 4% due to decreases in rates ($56.8 million), with the decrease in occupancy ($64.8 million) offsetting the increase in capacity ($64.3 million). The decrease in revenues for the ancillary businesses due to the impact of PPS was offset by the revenues recorded in association with the development activities and strategic alliance with Alterra. The decline in rates was primarily attributable to transitioning onto the Medicare PPS in 1999. The occupancy levels for all facilities including start-ups were 89% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to 86% for the same periods in 1999, respectively. The occupancy for the Company's skilled nursing facilities declined from 89% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998 to 88% and 87% in the same periods in 1999, respectively, reflecting the impact of transitioning onto the Medicare PPS and a decline in private pay mix over the last year. The growth in bed capacity between the first nine months of 1999 and the last three months of 1998 was due to the timing of opening 19 assisted living and 2 skilled 9 10 facilities partially offset by the divestiture of 31 assisted living facilities in the second and third quarters of 1999. The quality mix of revenue from Medicare, private pay and insured patients related to skilled nursing and assisted living facilities and rehabilitation operations decreased from 70% and 71% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998 to 66% and 67% for the same periods in 1999, respectively. This decline was a result of the decrease in Medicare rates and census due to the Medicare PPS, decline in private pay mix, and decrease in insurance rates and census. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased $3.8 million or 1% to $424.2 million from the comparable period in 1998. Operating expenses from skilled nursing and assisted living facilities decreased $8.9 million or 2% which was primarily attributable to the decline in ancillary costs as the Company found alternate methods of service which resulted in lower costs. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased $29.8 million or 2% to $1.3 billion from the comparable period in 1998. Operating expenses from skilled nursing and assisted living facilities decreased $35.0 million or 3%. By excluding the effect of start-up facilities in the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, operating expenses decreased $41.4 million which was primarily attributable to the decline in ancillary costs as the Company found alternate methods of service which resulted in lower costs. General and administrative expenses decreased $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998. By excluding the net gains from sale of assets in 1998, general and administrative expenses decreased $11.2 million for the same period primarily as a result of synergies obtained from combining HCR and Manor Care and reclassifying $2.3 million of duplicate costs in the first quarter to the provision for the restructuring charge and other related charges, as explained below. Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.9 million and $3.1 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998 due to a decline in the amortization of Manor Care's computer software and the Company's goodwill related to the write down of assets in 1998. In the first nine months of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $14.8 million. The components of the charge and the remaining liability at September 30, 1999 consist of the following (in thousands): Cash/ Liability at Liability at Non-cash 12/31/98 Charge Activity 9/30/99 -------- -------- ------ -------- ------- Manor Care planned spin-off: Employee benefits cash $617 $219 $(731) $105 HCR and Manor Care merger: Employee benefits cash 28,294 (23,074) 5,220 Other exit costs cash 4,234 (1,005) 3,229 Other costs: Amortization non-cash 12,240 (12,240) Duplicate costs cash 2,328 (2,328) Other cash 1,000 (850) 150 ------- --------- --------- ------ Total $34,145 $14,787 $(40,228) $8,704 ======= ======= ======== ====== 10 11 In Manor Care's planned spin-off, the employees did not receive lump-sum severance payments upon termination but receive their severance as biweekly payments through 1999. In the HCR and Manor Care merger, 531 employees received termination notices and at September 30, 1999 all but 2 employees have left the Company. A number of employees who left the Company continue to be paid severance payments on a biweekly basis through 1999. The non-cash charge for amortization primarily related to certain Manor Care software applications which are being used until the transition to HCR applications. The carrying value of the software was amortized over its remaining estimated useful life. Certain general and administrative costs of $2.3 million represented salaries and benefits for employees performing duplicate services in Toledo or Gaithersburg in the first quarter. In the first nine months of 1998, the Company recorded a $254.2 million charge related to restructuring, merger expenses, asset impairment and other related charges. In the second quarter of 1998, Manor Care recorded a charge of $13.5 million in connection with its plan to separate its business which did not occur as a result of the merger with HCR. In the third quarter of 1998, charges related to the merger of HCR and Manor Care totaled $240.7 million. Interest expense increased in 1999 compared to the prior year periods due to an increase in average debt outstanding under bank credit facilities. Dividend income increased during 1999 due to the $4.4 million quarterly dividend related to the Company's ownership of Series G Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of Genesis Health Ventures, Inc (Genesis) that was initially recorded in September 1998. The decrease in equity earnings of affiliated companies was attributable to a decline in earnings of the pharmacy partnership due to a reduction in prices as a result of the Medicare PPS. Interest income and other decreased between 1999 and 1998 primarily due to a decline in rental income from Manor Care's corporate office buildings that were sold during 1998. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 31.0% compared to 36.1% for the year ended December 31, 1998 after excluding the tax effects of the provision for restructuring charge, merger expenses, asset impairment and other related charges, as some of these items are not deductible for income tax purposes. The decrease was attributable to an increase in the exclusion on dividends received as a result of the Genesis dividend and an adjustment of the Company's prior years' tax accruals. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a gain of $99.8 million ($59.9 million after tax) from the conversion of Vitalink Pharmacy Services, Inc. (Vitalink) common stock to Genesis preferred stock on August 28, 1998. The financial results of Vitalink were recorded as income from discontinued operations. In the first nine months of 1999, the Company recorded the gains on sale of assets as extraordinary items as required after a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests. In the second quarter, the Company exercised a purchase option on Manor Care's corporate headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland and sold the property realizing net proceeds of $25 million and a $10.3 million gain ($6.3 million after tax). In conjunction with selling the Manor Care corporate headquarters, three interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $30.3 million that hedged the operating lease payments for the property were terminated for a gain of $.5 million. In the second quarter, the Company closed on three of the twenty-six assisted living facilities sold to Alterra for $13 million realizing a $.6 million gain ($.3 million after tax) and in the third quarter closed on the remaining twenty-three facilities for $146 million realizing an $8.0 million gain ($4.9 million after 11 12 tax). In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt totaling $31.7 million ($19.0 million after tax). On September 25, 1998 the Company repaid the outstanding debt under HCR's and Manor Care's prior credit arrangements. In conjunction with the extinguishment of debt, the Company terminated three interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $350 million that were designated as a hedge of Manor Care's debt. The extraordinary loss primarily related to the termination of the swaps but also included the unamoritized debt issue costs. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of expensing start-up costs capitalized as of January 1, 1998 totaling $9.4 million ($5.6 million after tax). FINANCIAL CONDITION The increase in cash at September 30, 1999 resulted from the sale of facilities at the end of the month. The increase in receivables of $46.3 million between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999 was primarily related to a $36.5 million receivable for facilities sold to Alterra and contributed to a development joint venture in the third quarter. The funds are expected to be received in the fourth quarter. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133), which was postponed in Statement No. 137 and is effective January 1, 2001. This Statement permits early adoption as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. This Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Management has not determined when it will adopt this Statement nor has it determined the impact of adoption. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first nine months of 1999, the Company satisfied its cash requirements from a combination of cash generated from operating activities and proceeds from sale of assets. The Company used the cash principally for capital expenditures and the purchase of the Company's common stock. At September 30, 1999, the Company maintained $91.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Expenditures for property and equipment during the first nine months of 1999 consisted of $67.1 million for construction of new facilities and $65.8 million for renovation and maintenance of existing facilities. The proceeds from the sale of assets of $263.6 million included the sale of the former Manor Care corporate headquarters ($25 million), twenty-six assisted living facilities to Alterra ($159 million) and twenty properties to development joint ventures ($74 million). On May 4, 1999 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $200 million of its common stock through December 31, 2000. The shares may be used for internal stock option and 401(k) match programs and for other uses, such as possible future acquisitions. The Company purchased 7,601,100 shares for $163.8 million in the second and third quarter and an additional 325,000 shares for $5.5 million in October 1999. 12 13 The Company's $300 million credit agreement (364 Day Agreement) which matured September 24, 1999 was amended and now provides for a $200 million credit agreement. Loans under the amended 364 Day Agreement mature September 22, 2000. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the interest rate. At September 30, 1999, outstanding borrowings aggregated $683 million under the bank credit agreements. After consideration of usage for letters of credit, the remaining credit availability under the agreements totaled $3.8 million. At October 31, 1999, the remaining credit availability increased to $70.7 million after utilizing excess cash to pay down debt. The Company has cash flow commitments related to the HCR and Manor Care merger restructuring plan that will require approximately $6 million in the remainder of 1999, primarily for employee benefits. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover debt payments, future capital expenditures and operating needs. It is likely that the Company will pursue growth from acquisitions, partnerships and other ventures which would be funded from excess cash from operations, credit available under the bank credit agreement and other financing arrangements that are normally available in the marketplace. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four digits to define the year. Any of the Company's computer software and hardware that are date sensitive and all of our embedded chip devices could recognize a two digit date of `00' as `1900' rather than `2000'. This could result in system failures and miscalculations causing disruptions to our operations. In 1995, HCR began an evaluation and upgrade to all of its technical infrastructure including hardware, operating systems and business applications. With the completion of that upgrade process, the Company will have in place, a complete package of technical solutions that properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The estimated costs of this package are expected to be $35 million. Most of these costs will be capitalized and amortized over a five to twelve year period. Since inception of the project, the Company has incurred approximately $32.2 million ($3.4 million expensed and $28.7 million capitalized) as of September 30, 1999. The Company has completed the technical solution definition and is 95% complete with the implementation. All computer hardware, software and operating system upgrades are expected to be in place by the end of fourth quarter of 1999. It has not been necessary to accelerate our original implementation plan due to the Year 2000 issue. To insure that our embedded chip devices, vendor and supplier interfaces are also Year 2000 compliant, the Company has put into place an assessment, remediation, testing, implementation and contingency plan for all products, services and relationships that do not meet our Year 2000 compliance standards. The Company expects all phases along with the contingency plan to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 1999 with internal resources. The Company has queried our significant suppliers and at this point, based on their representations, the Company does not believe that Year 2000 presents a material exposure as it relates to our embedded chip devices, system interfaces, significant suppliers or vendors. The Company believes today that the most likely worst case scenario, if it occurred, would involve temporary disruptions in delivery of medical and other supplies and temporary 13 14 disruptions in payments, especially payments from Medicare and other government programs. If the federal and state healthcare reimbursement agencies or their intermediaries were to fail to implement Year 2000 compliant technologies before December 31, 1999, a temporary cash flow disruption could result. Those agencies and intermediaries have Year 2000 plans in place and the Company continues to monitor the status of those projects. However, all of the governmental agencies have stated that interim payment procedures would be implemented if their Year 2000 solutions are not in place by January 1, 2000. The foregoing assessment is based on information currently available to the Company. The Company will revise its assessment as it implements its Year 2000 strategy. The Company's Year 2000 compliance program is an ongoing process and the risk assessments and estimates of costs and completion dates for various phases of the program are subject to change. The cost of the Year 2000 program and the dates on which the Company believes the phases of the program will be completed are based on management's best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of future events. Factors that could cause such changes include availability of qualified personnel and consultants, the actions of third parties and material changes in governmental regulations. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- There have been no significant changes in the Company's long-term debt since December 31, 1998. During the second quarter of 1999, the Company exercised a purchase option on Manor Care's corporate headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland and sold the property. In conjunction with selling the Manor Care corporate headquarters, three interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $30.3 million that hedged the operating lease payments for the property were terminated for a gain of $.5 million. 14 15 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. ------------------ On May 7, 1999 Genesis Health Ventures ("Genesis") filed suit in federal district court in Delaware against the Company, Manor Care, Paul A. Ormond and Stewart Bainum, Jr. (collectively, the "Delaware Defendants"). Manor Care has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company since September 25, 1998. Mr. Ormond is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Bainum is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and formerly was Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Manor Care. The complaint alleges that the Delaware Defendants fraudulently induced Genesis to acquire, in August, 1998, all of the outstanding stock of Vitalink Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("Vitalink") and that such alleged conduct constituted violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, common law fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract. The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $100 million and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief enforcing a covenant not to compete allegedly applicable to the Company. On June 10, 1999, Genesis filed an amended complaint that was substantively identical to the original complaint. The Company believes that the material allegations of the amended complaint are untrue and that it has substantial defenses to the factual and legal assertions therein. On June 29, 1999, the Delaware Defendants moved to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay the lawsuit in its entirety. That motion is presently pending before the court. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. Although the ultimate outcome of the case is uncertain, management believes that it is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. On August 27, 1999, Manor Care filed as a related lawsuit in federal district court in Delaware a separate action against Genesis concerning its 1998 acquisition of Vitalink. Manor Care's lawsuit charges Genesis with violations of Section 11 and Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, based upon Genesis' misrepresentations and/or misleading omissions in connection with the Genesis' issuance of approximately $293 million of Genesis Preferred Stock as consideration to Manor Care for its approximately fifty percent interest in Vitalink. The complaint alleges that Genesis unlawfully failed to disclose or made misrepresentations related to the effects of the conversion to the prospective payment system, the restructuring of the Multicare joint venture, the impact of the acquisition of Multicare, the status of Genesis labor relations, Genesis' ability to declare dividends on the Preferred Stock and information relating to the ratio of combined fixed charges and preference dividends to earnings. Manor Care seeks, among other things, compensatory damages and recission voiding Manor Care's purchase of the Genesis Preferred Stock and requiring Genesis to return to Manor Care the consideration that it paid at the time of the Vitalink sale. Additionally, on May 7, 1999 Vitalink, now known as Neighborcare Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("Neighborcare"), instituted a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for 15 16 Baltimore City, Maryland (the "Maryland Action") against the Company, Manor Care and ManorCare Health Services, Inc.(MHS) (collectively, the "Maryland Defendants") seeking damages, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment related to allegations that the Maryland Defendants have improperly sought to terminate certain Master Service Agreements ("MSAs") between Vitalink and MHS. Neighborcare has also purported to institute arbitration proceedings (the "Arbitration") against the Maryland Defendants with the American Arbitration Association, seeking substantially the same relief as sought in the Maryland Action with respect to one of the MSAs at issue in the Maryland Action and also certain additional permanent relief with respect to that contract. On May 13, 1999, Neighborcare and the Maryland Defendants agreed: (i) to consolidate the Maryland Action into the Arbitration; (ii) to dismiss the Maryland Action with prejudice as to jurisdiction and without prejudice as to the merits; (iii) to stay termination of the agreements at issue until a decision can be reached in the Arbitration; and (iv) that Neighborcare shall not proceed on its claims for preliminary relief in the Maryland Action or the Arbitration in view of the May 13, 1999 agreement. Neighborcare has since dismissed the Maryland Action and consolidated certain of those claims into the Arbitration by filing an Amended Demand for Arbitration. The Company believes that the material allegations in the Amended Demand for Arbitration are untrue and that it has substantial factual and legal defenses thereto. The Company intends to vigorously defend the Arbitration. Although the ultimate outcome of the Arbitration is uncertain, management believes that it is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. On July 26, 1999, Neighborcare filed an additional complaint against Omnicare, Inc. and Heartland Healthcare Services, Inc.(a joint venture between subsidiaries of Omnicare and the Company) seeking injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. The complaint includes counts for tortious interference with Vitalink's purported contractual rights under the MSAs. On October 4, 1999, the defendants moved to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay the lawsuit in its entirety. That motion is presently pending before the court. Although the ultimate outcome of the case is uncertain, management believes that it is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. One or more subsidiaries or affiliates of Manor Care have been identified as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in a variety of actions (the Actions) relating to waste disposal sites which allegedly are subject to remedial action under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq. (CERCLA) and similar state laws. CERCLA imposes retroactive, strict joint and several liability on PRPs for the costs of hazardous waste clean-up. The Actions arise out of the alleged activities of Cenco, Incorporated and its subsidiary and affiliated companies (Cenco). Cenco was acquired in 1981 by a wholly owned subsidiary of Manor Care. The Actions allege that Cenco transported and/or generated hazardous substances that came to be located at the sites in question. The Company believes the waste disposal activities at issue occurred prior to the Manor Care subsidiary's acquisition of Cenco. 16 17 Environmental proceedings such as the Actions may involve owners and/or operators of the hazardous waste site, multiple waste generators and multiple waste transportation disposal companies. Such proceedings involve efforts by governmental entities and/or private parties to allocate or recover site investigation and clean-up costs, which costs may be substantial. The potential liability exposure for currently pending environmental claims and litigation, without regard to insurance coverage, cannot be quantified with precision because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation in the Actions and the fact that the ultimate cost of the remedial actions for some of the waste disposal sites where Manor Care is alleged to be a potentially responsible party has not yet been quantified. Based upon its current assessment of the likely outcome of the Actions, the Company believes that the potential environmental liability exposure, after consideration of insurance coverage, is approximately $4.5 million. The Company is party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the results of such proceedings, even if unfavorable to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on its financial position. Item 2.
