Accounting Policies The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared by Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 2. Background and Basis of Presentation On March 15, 2000, the Company was split-off (the "split-off") from Olsten Corporation ("Olsten") through the issuance of all of the Company's shares of common stock to Olsten's shareholders and the Company became an independent, publicly-owned company. Prior thereto, the Company operated Olsten's health services business as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olsten. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company as if it were a separate entity for all periods presented. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical basis in the assets and liabilities and historical results of operations related to the Company. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses included a management fee of approximately $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. This fee represented an allocation of certain general corporate overhead expenses related to Olsten's corporate headquarters. Management believes the allocations related to general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable; however, the costs of these items deemed to be charged to the Company are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone entity during the period for which such expenses were allocated. Subsequent to the split-off, the Company has begun to perform these functions using its own resources or purchased services and the Company has been responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the management of a public corporation. Net interest expense as presented in the consolidated statements of operations included net interest expense of approximately $3.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and -5- $2.7 million and $6.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, relating to the intercompany balances with Olsten. Such intercompany balances have been reflected as a contribution to capital at January 2, 2000 and as of the split-off date. 3. Earnings per Share Basic net income per share for the fiscal 2000 periods has been computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Such amount is based on 20,345,029 shares of common stock, representing the number of shares of the Company's stock issued on the split-off date, adjusted to reflect 275,397 shares of common stock issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 in connection with the exercise of stock options. Diluted net income per share for the fiscal 2000 periods has been computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common equivalent shares represent the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed conversion of approximately 3.3 million stock options. The computation of dilutive net income per share excludes the effect of any shares issuable upon the conversion of the 4 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due October 1, 2000 and the $20 million of 10% convertible trust preferred securities and the exercise of approximately 0.9 million stock options since their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the fiscal 1999 periods have been computed based solely on the shares of the Company's stock issued on the split-off date. 4. Non-recurring and Special Charges During the six months ended July 2, 2000, the Company recorded non-recurring and special charges aggregating $6.8 million. Of this amount, non-recurring charges of $4.1 million were incurred to reflect obligations resulting from the Company's split-off from Olsten and transition costs associated with the establishment of the Company as an independent, publicly-owned entity. These non-recurring charges included change of control, compensation and benefit payments of $3.6 million made to certain former employees of the Company and Olsten and a current executive officer of the Company, including approximately $1.0 million which is based on Olsten's methodology for allocating general corporate overhead expenses as discussed in Note 7, and transition costs of $0.5 million relating to registration costs, professional fees and other items. Substantially all amounts were paid as of July 2, 2000. Special charges of $1.2 million in second quarter and $2.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 were incurred in connection with the change of the Company's name -6- to Gentiva Health Services, Inc. These special charges primarily consisted of costs incurred and paid for consulting fees, promotional items and advertising. In the quarter ended April 4, 1999, the Company recorded a special charge aggregating $16.7 million. This charge was for the realignment of business units as part of a new restructuring plan, including compensation and severance costs of $5 million to be paid to operational support staff, branch administrative personnel and management, asset write-offs of $6.5 million related primarily to fixed assets being disposed of in offices being closed and facilities being consolidated, as well as fixed assets and goodwill attributable to the Company's exit from certain business previously acquired but not within the Company's strategic objectives, and integration costs of $5.2 million, primarily related to obligations under lease agreements for offices and other facilities being closed. Substantially all of the closures and consolidations of facilities and expected terminations had occurred by January 2, 2000. These activities resulted in lower costs than originally estimated and, as a result, the Company recognized a benefit of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 to reflect this change in estimate. Approximately $1.2 million of this special charge remains unpaid as of July 2, 2000, representing compensation and severance costs of $0.8 million and integration costs of $0.4 million. 5. Long-Term Debt On March 13, 2000, the Company entered into a credit facility, which provides for up to $150 million in borrowings, including up to $30 million which is available for letters of credit. The Company may borrow up to a maximum of 80 percent of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. At the Company's option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.5 percent or the lender's prime rate plus 0.25 percent. The credit facility, which expires in 2004, includes certain covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and provides limitations on certain other activities. Loans under the credit facility are collateralized by all of the Company's tangible and intangible personal property, other than equipment. At July 2, 2000, borrowings under the credit facility aggregated $26.2 million and there were approximately $19.4 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. As of such date, the Company had borrowing capacity of approximately $104.4 million available under the credit facility. At July 2, 2000, the current portion of long-term debt aggregated $68.6 million, which represents the 4 3/4 percent convertible subordinated debentures which mature on October 1, 2000. In June 2000, $10 million of the debentures were retired at 95.25 percent of the princi- -7- pal amount, resulting in a gain of $475,000. In January 1999, $7.7 million of the debentures were retired at 88.5 percent of the principal amount, resulting in a gain of approximately $900,000. 6. Mandatorily Redeemable Securities On March 15, 2000, certain of the Company's and Olsten's directors, officers and management and other related parties and other investors purchased $20 million of 10 percent convertible trust preferred securities issued by a trust, of which the Company owns all the common equity. The convertible trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable five years from issuance at a declining premium over face amount. Upon a change of control, as defined, the holders of convertible trust preferred securities may require the trust to purchase these securities at 100 percent of their face amount. Dividends are payable quarterly in cash at the rate of 10 percent per annum, but the trust may defer dividend payments for up to a total of twenty quarters, in which case dividends will accrue. The convertible trust preferred securities are convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $9.319219. Such conversion price is 17.5 percent above the average closing price of the Company's common stock during the ten trading days following the earnings announcement of the first quarter 2000 results. Simultaneously with, and in connection with the issuance by the trust of the convertible trust preferred securities, the Company issued to the trust $20 million of its 10 percent convertible subordinated debentures. The convertible subordinated debentures have the same terms as the convertible trust preferred securities, including but not limited to maturity, interest, conversion and redemption price. The trust which issued the convertible trust preferred securities is a special purpose trust. The trust's operations are limited to issuing the convertible trust preferred securities and holding the Company's convertible subordinated debentures. The trust may pay dividends only to the extent that the Company pays interest on its convertible subordinated debentures. In March 2000, the Company also issued 100 shares of Series A Cumulative Non-voting Redeemable Preferred Stock for proceeds of $100,000. Such amount is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at July 2, 2000. -8- 7. Shareholders' Equity Changes in shareholders' equity during the six months ended July 2, 2000 were as follows (in thousands): Accumulated Additional Other Common paid-in Accumulated Comprehensive Stock capital Deficit Loss Total --------------- --------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------------- Balance at January 2, 2000 $ 2,035 $ 725,998 $ (20,370) $ (2,372) $ 705,291 Comprehensive income: Net income and cumulative translation adjustment 265 50 315 True-up payment made by Olsten 8,851 8,851 Obligations assumed in connection with the split-off, net of tax benefit (1,029) (1,029) Transfer to Olsten of tax benefits relating to net operating losses (49,700) (49,700) Issuance of stock upon exercise of stock options 27 1,207 1,234 ------------ --------- ------------- -------------- ------------ Balance at July 2, 2000 $ 2,062 $ 685,327 $ (20,105) $ (2,322) $ 664,962 ============ ========= ============= ============== ============ See Note 8 for a description of the true-up payment made by Olsten. Under the terms of the separation agreement relating to the split-off, the Company assumed the obligation for the funding of liabilities of the non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan for certain of its employees and former employees of Olsten. During the first quarter of 2000, payments of $12.1 million were made under this program; these payments exceeded assets of the plan which were transferred to the Company by $3.6 million due primarily to benefits paid to former Olsten employees and a current executive officer of the Company. Furthermore, the Company also assumed excise tax obligations of approximately $0.8 million for a former executive officer of Olsten (and current executive officer of the Company). Approximately $1.0 million of the aggregate net obligations of $4.4 million were included in non-recurring and special charges in the consolidated statements of operations based on Olsten's allocation methodology for general corporate overhead expenses. The remaining $3.4 million associated with these obligations were charged directly to additional paid-in capital. In addition, under the terms of the Separation Agreement the Company also agreed to assume the lease for an Olsten subsidiary commencing September 2000. In this connection, the present value of future lease obligations and other costs exceed estimated sublease rentals by $1.7 million. Such amount was charged directly to additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of 2000. -9- An estimated tax benefit of $4.1 million relating to the aforementioned obligations was credited to additional paid-in capital. In accordance with the Tax Sharing Agreement governing the split-off, any net operating losses generated up to the split-off were to be transferred and utilized by Olsten. Accordingly, on March 15, 2000 the Company transferred approximately $49.7 million of tax benefits relating to those net operating losses to Olsten. Such amount is reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital during the first six months of fiscal 2000. Total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $2.1 million and $2.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $0.3 million and $(10.3) million during the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. 8. Transactions with Olsten Net transactions with Olsten, included in shareholders' equity, include the accumulated excess of cash outlays made on the Company's behalf and management fees charged to the Company by Olsten over cash receipts generated by the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, intercompany balances at October 31, 1999 of approximately $507 million have been contributed to the Company's capital in its entirety. Pursuant to the terms described in the Separation Agreement, the Company was to receive approximately $32 million in cash (referred to as the true-up amount) on or prior to the split-off date. Approximately $23.1 million of the true-up amount was received by the Company prior to January 2, 2000; the remaining $8.9 million was received by the Company during the first quarter of 2000. Following the split-off, the Company paid Olsten approximately $13 million to settle the intercompany account balance which primarily related to advances for management fees, additional borrowings and interest expense on intercompany balances. 9. Business Segment Information The Company operates in the United States and Canada, servicing patients and customers through the following business segments: Specialty Pharmaceutical Services, Home Care Nursing Services and Staffing Services. These segments are briefly described below. Specialty Pharmaceutical Services includes (i) the distribution of drugs and other biological and pharmaceutical products and professional support services for individuals with chronic diseases, such as hemophilia, primary pulmonary hypertension, autoimmune deficiencies and growth disorders, (ii) the administration of antibiotics, chemotherapy, nutrients and other medications for patients with acute or episodic disease states and (iii) distribution services for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical service firms. -10- Home Care Nursing Services includes (i) professional and paraprofessional services, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation and other therapies, home health aide and personal care services, to individuals with acute illnesses, long-term chronic health conditions, permanent disabilities, terminal illnesses or post-procedural needs and (ii) care management and coordination for managed care organizations and self-insured employees. Staffing Services includes (i) services to institutional, occupational and alternate site health care organizations by providing health care professionals to meet supplemental staffing needs and (ii) clinical support services for pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. On March 15, 2000, the Company was split-off from Olsten Corporation through the issuance of all of the Company's shares of common stock to Olsten's shareholders and the Company became an independent, publicly-owned company. Prior thereto, the Company op- -12- erated Olsten's health services business as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olsten. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company as if it were a separate entity for all periods presented. The historical financial information may not be indicative of future performance and may not necessarily reflect what the Company's financial position and results of operations would have been if it were a separate stand-alone entity during the periods covered. As an independent company, the Company would be expected to incur additional legal, risk management, tax, treasury, human resources and administrative and other expenses that it did not experience as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olsten. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical basis in the assets and liabilities and historical results of operations related to the Company. The Company's results of operations are impacted by various regulations and other matters that are implemented from time to time in its industry, some of which are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. Results of Operations Revenues Net revenues increased by $11 million or 2.9 percent to $383 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999 driven by growth in Specialty Pharmaceutical Services of $12 million or 6.7 percent and Staffing Services of $7 million or 22.4 percent. These increases were partially offset by an $8 million or 4.6 percent decrease in net revenues in Home Care Nursing Services. For the first six months of fiscal 2000, net revenues increased by $27 million or 3.7% to $768 million as compared to net revenues of $741 million during the first six months of fiscal 1999. Net revenue growth resulted from increases in Specialty Pharmaceutical Services of $24 million or 7.0% and Staffing Services of $13 million or 21.0% offset by a decrease of $10 million or 2.8% in Home Care Nursing Services. In the Specialty Pharmaceutical Services business, revenue growth in both the quarter and the six month period was attributable to increases in coagulation therapies, Flolan, IVIG, Oxandrin and Total Parental Nutrition (TPN) therapies offset somewhat by a decrease in Prolastin revenue. Staffing Services revenue growth during the periods reflects volume and rate increases due to strong market demand created by industry growth and a shortage of full time employees in the institutional, occupational and alternate site health care organizations serviced by the Staffing Services business. The decline in Home Care Nursing Services during the periods was attributable to the continued shortage of nursing and caregiver personnel in cer- -13- tain parts of the country as well as the impact of the closing of certain home care nursing branches during 1999. Gross Profit Gross profit margins, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased from 34.2 percent in the fiscal 1999 second quarter to 33.6 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and from 34.1 percent in the first six months of fiscal 1999 to 33.5 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2000. This decrease in margins was primarily attributable to a change in business mix reflecting growth in the lower margin Staffing Services business and higher costs attributable to certain biological and pharmaceutical products in the Specialty Pharmaceutical Services business due to product shortages, partly offset by productivity enhancements and rate increases in Home Care Nursing Services. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $123 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to $120 million during the second quarter of fiscal 1999 due to the special charges of $1.2 million and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts of $2.8 million as well as increases in health insurance costs offset somewhat by the impact of efficiency improvement efforts in Home Care Nursing Services and corporate administrative support departments and the closing of certain home care nursing branches. For the first six months of fiscal 2000, selling, general and administrative expenses were $250 million as compared to $257 million for the first six months of fiscal 1999. This decrease resulted from a change in non-recurring and special charges from $16.7 million in the fiscal 1999 period to $6.8 million in the fiscal 2000 period as well as the impact of efficiency improvement efforts and the closing of home care nursing branches offset by an increase of $4.5 million in the provision for doubtful accounts. During the six months ended July 2, 2000, the Company recorded non-recurring and special charges aggregating $6.8 million. Of this amount, non-recurring charges of $4.1 million were incurred to reflect obligations resulting from the Company's split-off from Olsten and transition costs associated with the establishment of the Company as an independent, publicly-owned entity. These non-recurring charges included change of control, compensation and benefit payments of $3.6 million made to certain former employees of the Company and Olsten and a current executive officer of the Company, including approximately $1.0 million which was based on Olsten's methodology for allocating general corporate overhead expenses, and transition costs of $0.5 million relating to registration costs, professional fees and other items. -14- Special charges of $1.2 million in the second quarter and $2.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 were incurred in connection with the change of the Company's name to Gentiva Health Services, Inc. These special charges primarily consisted of costs incurred and paid for consulting fees, promotional items and advertising. In the quarter ended April 4, 1999, the Company recorded a special charge aggregating $16.7 million. This charge was for the realignment of business units as part of a new restructuring plan, including compensation and severance costs of $5 million to be paid to operational support staff, branch administrative personnel and management, asset write-offs of $6.5 million related primarily to fixed assets being disposed of in offices being closed and facilities being consolidated, as well as fixed assets and goodwill attributable to the Company's exit from certain business previously acquired but not within the Company's strategic objectives, and integration costs of $5.2 million, primarily related to obligations under lease agreements for offices and other facilities being closed. Substantially all of the closures and consolidations of facilities and expected terminations occurred by January 2, 2000. These activities resulted in lower costs than originally estimated and, as a result, the Company recognized a benefit of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 to reflect this change in estimate. Excluding the effects of non-recurring and special charges recorded in the periods as described below, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 31.7 percent and 32.2 percent during the second quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 31.7 percent and 32.5 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net was approximately $2.1 million and $4.3 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $6.3 million and $8.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest expense, net represented primarily interest on the outstanding 4 3/4 percent convertible subordinated debentures during each period, net intercompany borrowings with Olsten for the fiscal 1999 periods and the period from January 3, 2000 to March 15, 2000 and interest on borrowings under the credit facility and the mandatorily redeemable securities subsequent to March 15, 2000. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate on income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 42 percent for the fiscal 2000 periods and approximately 21 percent for the fiscal 1999 periods. The rates differ from statutory rates primarily because of the impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization and other non-deductible items. -15- Liquidity and Capital Resources Prior to the split-off, the Company relied on cash flow from operations and advances from Olsten to meet the requirements of its operating and investing activities. In the past, when liquidity needs exceeded cash flow, Olsten provided the necessary funds. In accordance with the separation agreement governing the split-off, the Company received approximately $32 million in cash (referred to as the true-up amount), including $8.9 million prior to the March 15, 2000 split-off date. Following the split-off, the Company paid Olsten approximately $13 million to settle the intercompany account balance which related primarily to management fees, additional advances and interest expense on intercompany balances. Furthermore, in connection with the split-off the Company assumed certain liabilities, including supplemental executive retirement plan and excise tax obligations for former Olsten employees and of the office lease obligations for an Olsten subsidiary. As of March 15, 2000, the Company had acquired third party financing, as described below, to meet its funding requirements. The Company received $20 million of proceeds from the issuance by Gentiva Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust"), of 10% convertible trust preferred securities on March 15, 2000. The Company owns all the common equity in the Trust. The Trust's only asset is the 10% convertible subordinated debentures of the Company. The Company entered into a credit facility, which provides for up to $150 million in borrowings, including up to $30 million which is available for letters of credit. The Company may borrow up to 80 percent of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. The credit facility, which expires in 2004, includes covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Other covenants in the credit facility include: limitations on mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, capital expenditures and disposition of assets and other limitations with respect to the Company's operations. The interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.5 percent or the lender's prime rate plus 0.25 percent. As of July 2, 2000, borrowings under the credit facility aggregated $26.2 million and there were approximately $19.4 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. As of such date, the Company had an aggregate borrowing capacity of approximately $104.4 million under the credit facility. In June 2000, the Company retired $10 million of its 4 3/4 percent convertible subordinated debentures at 95.25 percent of the principal amount, resulting in a gain of $475,000. By October 1, 2000, the Company will be required to repay the remaining $68.6 million of these debentures and, in this connection, is currently evaluating various financing options. Such options include use of the revolving credit facility, issuing securities under a $150 million shelf registration statement which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in July 2000, and using cash proceeds which may be generated should the Com- -16- pany consummate the sale of its health care staffing services business. The Company announced in July 2000 that it is in discussions regarding the possible sale of this business. Furthermore, the Company is also engaged in discussions with its lenders under the credit facility with respect to certain amendments to the credit facility. Working capital at July 2, 2000 was $455 million, an increase of $16 million versus $439 million at January 2, 2000. Net receivables increased by $29 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, predominantly due to conversion issues resulting from the implementation of and transition to a new billing system for the Specialty Pharmaceutical Services business. Net receivables remained stable during the second quarter and aggregated $604 million at July 2, 2000. The Company will continue to make investments in billing and accounts receivable systems and has restructured its contracting, delivery, billing and collection units in an effort to improve cash flow from operations. In this regard, the Company used $41.9 million of cash in operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2000; in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, $0.4 million of cash was provided by operating activities. Management believes cash flows from operations, borrowings available under the new credit facility and other financing activities will be adequate to support the ongoing operations and to meet debt service and principal repayment requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company intends to make investments and other expenditures to, among other things, upgrade its computer technology and system infrastructure and relocate its headquarters. If cash flows from operations or availability under the credit facility fall below expectations, the Company may be forced to delay planned capital expenditures, reduce operating expenses, seek additional financing or consider alternatives designed to enhance liquidity for operations and to refinance the 4 3/4 percent convertible subordinated debentures which mature on October 1, 2000. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the fair value of its fixed rate 4 3/4 percent convertible subordinated debentures. Generally, the fair market value of fixed rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Based on the overall interest rate exposure on the Company's fixed rate borrowings at July 2, 2000, a 10 percent change in market interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of the Company's debt. Based on variable rate debt levels, a 10 percent change in market interest rates (90 basis points on a weighted average) would have less than a 1 percent impact on the Company's interest expense, net. -17- Other than intercompany transactions between the Company and its Canadian subsidiary, the Company generally does not have any transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency applicable to each entity. Although currency fluctuations impact the Company's reported results of operations, such fluctuations generally do not affect the Company's cash flow or result in actual economic gains or losses. Each of the Company's subsidiaries derives revenues and incurs expenses primarily within a single country, and consequently, does not generally incur currency risks in connection with the conduct of normal business operations. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may also impact the shareholders' equity of the Company. The assets and liabilities of the Company's Canadian subsidiary are translated into U.S dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the quarter. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in shareholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign exchange gains and losses have not been significant. The Company does not engage in hedging activities. The Company did not hold any derivative instruments at July 2, 2000.

Legal Proceedings There is presently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York a purported class action filed by some Olsten stockholders against Olsten and some of its directors and officers, captioned In re Olsten Corporation Securities Litigation, No. 97-5056 (the "Class Action"). The Class Action asserts claims for violations of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, including claims that the directors and officers of Olsten misrepresented information to stockholders relating to the government investigations into Olsten's health services business described Item 5 - Other Information. In December 1998, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in this Class Action. In response to a request from the parties, the Court, by Order dated April 27, 2000, dismissed without prejudice defendants' dismissal motion, subject to its being re-filed on the previously-submitted papers, and stayed the Class Action pending the outcome of the parties' mediation efforts. There is also pending in the Delaware Chancery Court a purported derivative lawsuit filed by some Olsten stockholders against some directors and officers of Olsten (and Olsten, as nominal defendant), captioned Rubin v. May, No. 17135-NC (the "Derivative Suit"). This purported derivative lawsuit alleges that the Olsten directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders in connection with the above-described class action and the below-described government investigations. In September 1999, defendants filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, stay this Derivative Lawsuit. Prior to the briefing of defendants' dismissal motion and prior to filing any responses to discovery requests, the parties jointly petitioned the Chancery Court to stay all proceedings in the Derivative Lawsuit pending the outcome of the parties' mediation efforts. In July 1999, the Indiana Attorney General's Office filed a lawsuit against Olsten in Indiana Superior Court, captioned State of Indiana v. Quantum Health Resources, Inc. and Olsten Health Services, Inc., No. 49D029907CP001011, alleging that Olsten was overpaid by Medicaid, failed to properly disclose information to Medicaid and engaged in improper billing. Discovery continues in this matter. On January 14, 1999, Kimberly Home Health Care, Inc. ("Kimberly") initiated three arbitration proceedings against hospitals owned by Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. ("Columbia/HCA") with which Kimberly had management services agreements to provide services to the hospitals' home health agencies. The basis for each of the arbitrations is that Columbia/HCA sold the home health agencies without assigning the management services agreements and, as a result, Columbia/HCA has breached the management services agreements. In response to the arbitrations, Columbia/HCA has asserted that the arbitration be consolidated and stayed, in part based upon its alleged claims against Kimberly for breach of -19- contract, and requested indemnity and possibly return of management fees. Columbia/HCA has not yet formally presented these claims in the arbitrations or other legal proceedings, and has not yet quantified the claims. The parties agreed to suspend the proceedings until September 2000. On June 23, 2000, the Company was served with a Complaint in a purported class action lawsuit filed by Ultimate Home Health Care Inc. in the U.S District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (Nashville). Thereafter, the Company was served with an Amended Complaint on July 21, 2000. The Amended Complaint, which names as defendants Columbia/HCA, Columbia Homecare Group, Olsten Health Management a/k/a Hospital Contract Management Services (one of the Company's subsidiaries) and Olsten Corporation, alleges, among other things, that the defendants' business practices in connection with the home healthcare patient referrals during the 1994 and 1996 time period violated provisions of Federal antitrust laws, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, and the common law of Tennessee, Texas, Georgia and Florida. The Complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, treble damages and attorneys' fees on behalf of a proposed class of home healthcare companies and/or agencies which conducted business in Tennessee, Texas, Florida and/or Georgia and allegedly lost business or property due to defendants' business practices. Because the above lawsuits and arbitration proceedings are in relatively preliminary stages and seek unspecified damages, penalties and/or reimbursement for costs and expenses, the Company is unable at this time to assess the probable outcome or potential liability arising from such litigation. Furthermore, in connection with the split-off, the Company agreed to assume, to the extent permitted by law, and indemnify Olsten for, the above lawsuits and arbitration proceedings, together with any other liabilities arising out of the health services business before or after the split-off, including any such liabilities arising after the split-off in connection with the government investigations described below. Reference is made to the descriptions of legal proceedings in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2000. Item 2. Change in Securities and Use of Proceeds In March 2000, the Company sold 100 shares of its Series A Cumulative non-voting Redeemable Preferred Stock in exchange for services in the amount of $100,000. In March 2000, a subsidiary trust of the Company issued $20 million of 10% convertible trust preferred securities to certain of the Company's and Olsten's directors, officers and management, other related parties and other investors. The trust used the $20 million of gross proceeds to purchase $20 million of the Company's 10% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. The Com- -20- pany used the net proceeds of the transaction to pay Olsten the amount owed for the intercompany balance and for other corporate purposes. The above issuances were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Reference is made to the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement in this Form 10-Q for a further description of the above securities. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None Item 5. Other Information The Company's business has been subject to extensive federal and state governmental investigations regarding, among other things, some of the health care practices of Quantum Health Resources, Inc. ("Quantum"), including alleged improper billing and fraud against various federally funded medical assistance programs, which largely occurred during the period prior to Olsten's acquisition of Quantum in June 1996, which is referred to as the "Quantum Investigation." In October 1998, Olsten entered into a final settlement agreement with several government agencies related to the Quantum Investigation. Under the settlement, Olsten reimbursed the government approximately $4.5 million for disputed claims under the Medicaid and CHAMPUS programs and entered into a corporate integrity agreement. On January 28, 1999, Olsten announced that it had been advised by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Mexico ("New Mexico U.S. Attorney's Office") that it had dropped its criminal investigation into allegations of improper billing and fraud against various federally funded medical assistance programs by Quantum during the period between January 1992 and April 1997. By letter dated February 1, 1999, the New Mexico U.S. Attorney's Office advised Olsten that, having ended its criminal inquiry, the Office has referred the Quantum matter to its Affirmative Civil Enforcement Section. The Company continues to cooperate with the remaining civil inquiry into the Quantum matter and to explore with the New Mexico U.S. Attorney's Office the possibility of reaching a negotiated monetary resolution of the matter. Any negotiated amount could include multiple damages, interest and civil penalties. -21- In early December 1999, Olsten received a document subpoena from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, and Office of Investigations. After preliminary discussions with the Office of Inspector General, the Company believes the subpoena relates to an investigation of possible overpayments to it by the Medicare program. In early February 2000, the Company received a document subpoena from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, and Office of Investigations. The Company believes the subpoena relates to its agencies' cost reporting procedures concerning contracted nursing and home health aide costs. The Company intends to provide the Office of Inspector General with the requested documents and cooperate fully with its investigations. At this time, the Company is unable to assess the probable outcome or potential liability, if any, arising from these subpoenas. The Company believes that it is possible that one or more of these investigations may be triggered by lawsuits under federal or state whistle blower statutes against Olsten or the Company. The Company continues to have discussions with the North Carolina Attorney General's Office concerning questions that the Office has raised as to the eligibility of a certain class of the Company's patients to receive Medicaid-reimbursed home health services and, thus, the Company's entitlement to Medicaid reimbursement in connection with those services. At this time, the Company is unable to assess the probable outcome of or potential liability arising from this matter. As noted above, in connection with the October 1998 settlement of the Quantum Investigation, Olsten executed a corporate integrity agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Secretary of Defense (for the CHAMPUS/Tricare Program) and the Attorneys General for the States of New York and Oklahoma that will be in effect until December 31, 2001. Also, in connection with the July 19, 1999 settlement with various government agencies, Olsten executed a separate corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services which will remain in effect until August 18, 2004. Under each of the corporate integrity agreements, the Company is, for example, required: o to maintain a corporate compliance officer to develop and implement compliance programs; o to retain an independent review organization to perform annual reviews; and o to maintain a compliance program and reporting systems, as well as provide certain training to employees. The corporate integrity agreement entered into in connection with the Quantum Investigation applies to the Company's specialty pharmaceutical services business and focuses on -22- the training and billing of blood factor products for hemophiliacs. The July 19, 1999 corporate integrity agreement applies to the Company's businesses that bill the federal government health programs directly for services, such as its home care nursing business (but excluding the specialty pharmaceutical services business). That corporate integrity agreement focuses on issues and training related to cost report preparation, contracting, medical necessity and billing of claims. The Company's compliance program will be implemented for all newly established or acquired business units if their type of business is covered by the corporate integrity agreements. Reports under each integrity agreement are to be filed annually with the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. After each corporate integrity agreement expires, the Company is to file a final annual report with the government. If the Company fails to comply with the terms of either of its corporate integrity agreements, the Company will be subject to penalties ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 for each day of the breach. In March 2000, Gentiva was notified by the U.S. Department of Justice that, in light of the Adecco/Olsten merger and the split-off of Gentiva as an independent public company, the Company has been substituted for Olsten in connection with the civil settlement and corporate integrity agreements referenced in this "Government Investigations" section. Reference is made to the full descriptions of government investigations in the Company's Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2000.
