                        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:          BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 The  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein do not  contain  all
 information and footnote  disclosures normally included in financial statements
 prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  For
 further  information,  such as the significant  accounting policies followed by
 Integrated   Health  Services,   Inc.  ("IHS"  or  "Company"),   refer  to  the
 consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
 Annual  Report on Form  10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1996.  In the
 opinion of  management,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  include  all
 necessary  adjustments  (consisting of  only normal  recurring  accruals) for a
 fair presentation of the financial  position and  results of operations for the
 interim periods  presented.  The results of  operations for the interim periods
 presented are not  necessarily  indicative of the  results that may be expected
 for the full year.

NOTE 2:          EARNINGS PER SHARE

 Primary  earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
 common and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the periods.  Common
 stock  equivalents  include  options and  warrants to  purchase  common  stock,
 assumed to be exercised using the treasury stock method. Fully diluted earnings
 per share is computed as  described  above,  except that the  weighted  average
 number  of  common  equivalent  shares  is  determined  assuming  the  dilution
 resulting from the issuance of the  aforementioned  options and warrants at the
 higher of the end-of-period  price per share, or the weighted average price for
 the period,  and the issuance of common  shares upon the assumed  conversion of
 the convertible  subordinated  debentures.  Additionally,  interest expense and
 amortization of underwriting costs related to such debentures are added, net of
 tax, to income for the purpose of calculating fully diluted earnings per share.
 Such amounts and the  resulting  net earnings  for fully  diluted  earnings per
 share  purposes are  summarized as follows for the three months ended March 31,
 1997 and 1996, respectively:

                                                                1997       1996

NOTE 4:   PHARMACY GAIN          

          In July 1996,  the  Company  sold its  pharmacy  division  to Capstone
          Pharmacy  Services,  Inc.  ("Capstone")  for a purchase  price of $150
          million,  consisting of cash of $125  million,  and shares of Capstone
          stock having a value of $25 million. At the date of sale the Company's
          investment  in the shares of  Capstone's  common stock was recorded at
          its carry over cost of $14.7 million,  which represented less than 20%
          of the total  Capstone  shares.  During the first  quarter  1997,  the
          Company  realized  a gain of $7.6  million  on its  investment  in the
          Capstone shares.

NOTE 5:   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          In February  1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
          Statement  No.  128,   "Earnings  Per  Share,"  ("SFAS  128"),   which
          simplifies  the standards for  computing  earnings per share  ("EPS").
          SFAS 128 is effective for the Company's fourth quarter and year ending
          December 31, 1997. Early application is not permitted and prior period
          EPS data will be restated.

          Under SFAS 128, primary EPS will be replaced with basic EPS. Basic EPS
          excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.  Also, under
          SFAS 128,  fully-diluted  EPS will be replaced by diluted EPS. Diluted
          EPS  is  calculated   similarly  to  fully-diluted   EPS  pursuant  to
          Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15.

          The change in  calculation  method is not  expected to have a material
          impact on previously reported earnings per common share data.

NOTE 6:   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
                 
          Acquisitions
          ------------

          In  April   1997,   the  Company   acquired   the  assets  of  Coastal
          Rehabilitation,   Inc.,  a  rehabilitation  company  in  Florida,  for
          approximately  $1.25  million,  and the assets of Mobile  Diagnostics,
          Inc.,  a mobile  x-ray  company in North  Carolina  for  $225,000.  In
          addition, the Company has reached agreements in principle to acquire a
          mobile x-ray company in New Jersey for approximately  $1.2 million,  a
          mobile  x-ray  company  in  Maryland  for  approximately  $300,000,  a
          contract rehabilitation company in the Midwest for approximately $19.7
          million,   a  home   healthcare   services   company  in  Indiana  for
          approximately   $330,000,  a  home  healthcare  services  company  for
          approximately $7.5 million,  and a home healthcare services company in
          the  Southeast  for  approximately  $37.5  million.  There  can  be no
          assurance that any of these pending  acquisitions  will be consummated
          on the proposed terms, on different terms, or at all.

          Settlement with Coram
          ---------------------

          On October 19, 1996, IHS and Coram entered into a definitive agreement
          and plan of merger (the "Merger  Agreement")  providing for the merger
          of a wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS into Coram, with Coram becoming a
          wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  IHS.  Under  the  terms  of  the  Merger
          Agreement,  holders of Coram  common  stock  were to receive  for each
          share of Coram common stock 0.2111 of a share of the Company's  Common
          Stock. As a result of the merger, IHS would have assumed approximately
          $375 million of  indebtedness.  On April 4, 1997,  IHS notified  Coram
          that it had exercised  its rights to terminate  the Merger  Agreement.
          IHS also terminated the March 30, 1997 letter amendment, setting forth
          proposed  revisions  to the  terms of the  merger  (which  included  a
          reduction in the exchange ratio to 0.15 of a share of IHS Common Stock
          for each share of Coram common stock), prior to the revisions becoming
          effective  at the close of business on April 4, 1997.  On May 5, 1997,
          IHS and Coram  entered into a settlement  agreement  pursuant to which
          the Company  paid Coram $21 million in full  settlement  of all claims
          Coram might have against IHS pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  which
          the Company will recognize in the second quarter. In addition,  during
          the first  quarter the Company  incurred  $6.6 million of  accounting,
          legal and other costs related to the merger.

          Tender Offer for Senior Subordinated Notes
          ------------------------------------------

          On April 30, 1997,  the Company  announced  that it had commenced cash
          tender  offers,  subject  to  certain  conditions  including,  without
          limitation,  obtaining  financing  from  debt or equity  offerings  or
          borrowings under its credit facility,  to purchase all its outstanding
          9-5/8%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2002  Series  A (the  "9-5/8%
          Notes"),  its 10-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "10-3/4%
          Notes" and together  with the 9-5/8%  Notes,  the "Tender  Notes") and
          related  consent   solicitations  to  eliminate  certain   restrictive
          covenants and other provisions in the indentures pursuant to which the
          Tender  Notes  were  issued  in order to  improve  the  operating  and
          financial flexibility of the Company.

          The total  consideration  payable  pursuant  to the  tender  offer and
          consent  solicitation  to holders of the 9-5/8% Notes who tender their
          notes (and thereby deliver consents to the proposed  amendments to the
          indenture  pursuant  to which the 9 5/8% Notes were  issued) is $1,094
          plus accrued and unpaid  interest to, but not  including,  the payment
          date,  consisting of $1,089 plus accrued and unpaid interest as tender
          offer  consideration and $5 as a consent payment.  Total consideration
          payable  pursuant  to the tender  offer and  consent  solicitation  to
          holders of the  10-3/4%  Notes who  tender  their  notes (and  thereby
          deliver consents to the proposed  amendments to the indenture pursuant
          to which the 10 3/4% Notes were issued) is $1,119.50  plus accrued and
          unpaid  interest to but not including the payment date,  consisting of
          $1,114.50   plus   accrued  and  unpaid   interest  as  tender   offer
          consideration and $5 as a consent payment.

          The tender offer and consent solicitation for each of the 9 5/8% Notes
          and the 10 3/4% Notes expires at 12:00  midnight,  New York City time,
          on May 29, 1997, unless extended (the "Expiration Date"). Holders must
          validly  tender  their  Tender  Notes  prior to 12:00  midnight on the
          Expiration Date in order to receive the tender offer consideration. In
          order to receive the consent payment, holders must validly tender ther
          Tender  Notes (and  thereby  deliver  their  consent  to the  proposed
          amendments to the indenture  pursuant to which their Tender Notes were
          issued)  prior to 12:00  midnight,  New York City time, on the Consent
          Date.  The  Consent  Date for each of the 9 5/8% Notes and the 10 3/4%
          Notes is the later of May 14, 1997 or the Consent Achievement Date for
          such Tender Notes. The Consent Achievement Date for each of the 9 5/8%
          Notes and the 10 3/4% Notes is the date that the Company receives duly
          executed  consents from holders  representing  a majority in principal
          amount of such Tender Notes outstanding.

          An  aggregate  of $115  million  principal  amount of 9-5/8%  Notes is
          presently  outstanding.  An aggregate of $100 million principal amount
          of 10-3/4%  Notes is  presently  outstanding.  Each  tender  offer and
          consent  solicitation  is conditioned  upon,  among other things,  the
          availability  to the Company of funds  sufficient to pay the aggregate
          consideration  and related  costs and  expenses of the offers on terms
          and conditions satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion. The
          Company intends to pay the aggregate  consideration  due in connection
          with the tender offer and consent solicitations with the proceeds of a
          private debt financing.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                       AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

         Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased $133.7
million,  or 41%, to $460.9 million from the  comparable  period in 1996. Of the
$133.7 million increase,  $119.0 million,  or 89%, was due to the acquisition of
companies  providing  home  health,   mobile  x-ray,   rehabilitation   therapy,
respiratory therapy and electrocardiogram services subsequent to March 31, 1996,
partially  offset  by a  reduction  in  revenue  resulting  from the sale of the
Company's  pharmacy division in July 1996 and the sale of a majority interest in
its assisted  living  services  division in October 1996.  Revenues in the first
quarter of 1996 include revenues of $22.4 million for the pharmacy  division and
revenues  of $5.6  million  from its  assisted  living  services  division.  The
remaining  increase was due  primarily to  facilities  and  ancillary  companies
acquired  during the first  quarter of 1996,  subsequent to the first quarter of
1996 and increased revenues from facilities and ancillary companies in operation
during both periods.

         Basic medical services revenue decreased 9% from $97.2 million to $88.8
million.  This decrease  primarily results from the conversion by the Company of
its skilled  nursing beds to Medical  Specialty  Unit (MSU) beds after March 31,
1996,  and the sale of a  majority  interest  in its  assisted  living  services
division in October 1996.

         Specialty medical services revenue increased $143.2 million from $219.5
million to $362.7 million.  Of the $143.2 million increase,  $124.6 million,  or
87%, was attributable to revenue from acquisitions subsequent to March 31, 1996,
partially  offset by a reduction  in  specialty  medical  services  revenue as a
result  of the  sale  of the  Company's  pharmacy  division  in July  1996.  The
remaining  increase is due to increased  revenue from  facilities  and ancillary
companies in operation  in both  periods,  facilities  and  ancillary  companies
acquired  during the first quarter of 1996, facilities  and ancillary  companies
acquired  subsequent to the first  quarter of 1996,  as well as skilled  nursing
beds being  converted to MSU beds after March 31, 1996.

         Management services and other revenues decreased 10% from $10.5 million
to $9.5 million.

                                  Page 11 of 19






         Total  expenses for the period  increased to $429.9 million from $305.1
million,  an increase of 41%. Of the $124.8 million  increase in total expenses,
$102.5  million,  or 82%,  was  due to an  increase  in  operating  expenses.  A
substantial   portion  of  the  increase  in  operating   expenses  was  due  to
acquisitions  consummated  subsequent to March 31, 1996, partially offset by the
disposal  of the  Company's  pharmacy  division  in July  1996 and the sale of a
majority  interest in its assisted  living  services  division in October  1996.

         During the first quarter 1997, the Company realized a $7.6 million gain
on its  investment  in Capstone  Shares,  offset by $6.6 million of  accounting,
legal and other costs  resulting from the Coram  transaction.  As a result,  the
Company has recorded in its statement of earnings $1.0 million of  non-recurring
income.

         Corporate  administrative  and general  expenses  for the three  months
ended March 31, 1997  increased by $2.9  million,  or 19%,  over the  comparable
period  in 1996.  This  increase  primarily  represents  additional  operations,
information  systems,  accounting,  finance and other  personnel  to support the
growth  through   acquisition   of  ancillary   businesses.   Depreciation   and
amortization  increased to $15.0 million during the three months ended March 31,
1997,  an 82%  increase as compared to $8.3  million in the same period in 1996.
This increase is primarily the result of acquisitions  consummated subsequent to
the first quarter of 1996. Rent expense increased by $6.4 million,  or 36%, over
the  comparable  period  in  1996,  primarily  as a  result  of an  increase  in
contingent  rentals  which  are  based  on  gross  revenues  of  certain  leased
facilities  and rent at ancillary  companies  acquired  subsequent  to March 31,
1996,  partially  offset by a reduction  resulting from the sale of the pharmacy
division  and the sale of a majority  interest in its assisted  living  services
division. Interest expense, net increased 51%, or $7.2 million, during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to $21.4 million in the first  quarter of 1997.  The
increase in interest expense was primarily due to the Company's issuance of $150
million principal amount of 10-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes issued in May 1996
and  increased  borrowings  under the Company's  current $700 million  revolving
credit facility.

         Earnings  before  equity in earnings  of  affiliates  and income  taxes
increased  40% to $31.1  million for the three months  ended March 31, 1997,  as
compared to $22.1 million for the comparable period in the prior year.

         Earnings  before  income taxes  increased  39% to $31.3 million for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  as  compared  to $22.4  million  for the
comparable  period in the prior year. The provision for federal and state income
taxes was $12.2  million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997,  and $8.6
million for the same period in the prior year.  Net earnings  and fully  diluted
earnings per share for the quarter were $19.1  million in 1997,  or 63 cents per
share, as compared to $13.8 million or 54 cents per share for the same period in
1996.  Weighted average shares (fully-diluted)  increased 3.7 million shares, or
12%, to 34.0 million shares from the comparable period in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $83.9 million, as
compared  with $57.5  million at  December  31,  1996.  The  increase in working
capital was  primarily  due to an increase in patient  accounts  and third party
payor settlements receivable and other current assets and a decrease in accounts
payable and accrued  expenses.  There were no material  capital  commitments for
capital  expenditures as of March 31, 1997. Net patient accounts and third-party
payor settlements  receivable increased $12.6 million to $339.5 million at March
31,  1997,  as compared to $326.9  million at December  31,  1996.  Of the $12.6
million  increase in accounts  receivable,  $2.2  million  was  attributable  to
related services  businesses  acquired subsequent to December 31, 1996 and $10.4
million was due to increased  accounts  receivable  at  facilities  and services
businesses owned at both December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997.  Patient accounts
receivable  were  $356.1  million at March 31,  1997,  as  compared  with $340.8
million at December 31, 1996.  Third-party  payor  settlements  receivable  from
federal and state  governments  (i.e.,  Medicare and Medicaid  cost reports) was
$19.6  million at March 31, 1997,  as compared to $27.6  million at December 31,
1996.  Approximately $10.3 million, or 52%, of the third-party payor settlements
receivable  from federal and state  governments  at March 31, 1997 represent the
costs  for  its  MSU  patients  which  exceed  regional   reimbursement   limits
established under Medicare.

         The  Company's  cost of care  for its MSU  patients  generally  exceeds
regional  reimbursement limits established under Medicare. The Company's ability
to obtain  reimbursement  for those costs which exceed the Medicare  established
reimbursement limits will depend on obtaining waivers of these cost limitations.
The Company has submitted  waiver  requests for 225 cost  reports,  covering all
cost report periods  through  December 31, 1995. To date,  final action has been
taken by the Health  Care  Financing  Administration  ("HCFA") on all 221 waiver
requests  covering cost report periods through  December 31, 1995. The Company's
final rates as approved

                                  Page 14 of 19





by HCFA represent  approximately  95% of the requested rates as submitted in the
waiver requests.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Company will be
able to  recover  its  excess  costs  under  any  waiver  requests  which may be
submitted in the future.  The  Company's  failure to recover  substantially  all
these excess costs would  adversely  affect its results of operations  and could
adversely affect its MSU strategy.

         Net cash  provided by operating  activities  for the three months ended
March 31, 1997,  was $9.9 million as compared to $12.7 million used by operating
activities for the comparable period in 1996.

         Net cash  provided by financing  activities  was $44.9  million for the
three  month  period in 1997 as compared  to $85.9  million  for the  comparable
period  in 1996.  In both  periods,  the  Company  received  net  proceeds  from
long-term borrowings and issuance of common stock and made repayments on certain
debt.

         Net cash used by investing  activities  was $55.0 million for the three
month  period  ended March 31,  1997 as compared to $82.6  million for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996.  Cash used for the  acquisition of facilities
and service  businesses  was $11.0  million in 1997 as compared to $16.6 million
for 1996. Cash used for the purchase of property,  plant and equipment was $41.1
million in 1997 and $35.7 million in 1996.

         The Company's contingent liabilities (other than liabilities in respect
of  litigation  and the  contingent  payments  in respect of the First  American
acquisition)  aggregated  approximately  $72.3 million as of March 31, 1997. The
Company is  obligated  to  purchase  its  GreenBriar  facility  upon a change in
control of the Company.  The net purchase price of the facility is approximately
$4.0  million.  The Company has guaranteed approximately

                                  Page 15 of 19





$6.6 million of the lessor's indebtedness. The Company is required, upon certain
defaults  under the lease,  to purchase its Orange Hills  facility at a purchase
price equal to the greater of $7.1 million or the facility's  fair market value.
The Company  entered into a guaranty  agreement  whereby the Company  guaranteed
approximately  $4.0 million owed by Tutera Group,  Inc. and Sunset Plaza Limited
Partnership,  a partnership  affiliated  with a partnership in which the Company
has a 49% interest,  to Finova Capital  Corporation.  The Company has guaranteed
approximately  $8.9 million owed by Litchfield Asset  Management  Corporation to
National Health Investors,  Inc. The Company has established several irrevocable
letters of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia  totalling $15.7 million at March
31,  1997 to secure  certain  of the  Company's  workers'  compensation,  health
benefits and other obligations. The Company has guaranteed a maximum of $539,062
owed by Dunns Creek to National  Health  Investors.  The Company  entered into a
guaranty  agreement whereby the Company has guaranteed a maximum of $49,900 owed
by Newco  Management to First Union  National  Bank of Florida.  The Company has
guaranteed approximately $4.8 million owed by Community Care of America ("CCA"),
a related party company to which IHS provides certain  management  services,  to
Daiwa  Health  Company.  The Company  has also  guaranteed  approximately  $10.0
million owed by CCA to Health and Retirement  Properties  Trust under a loan and
lease  financing  agreement.   In  addition,  the  Company  has  established  an
irrevocable  standby  line of credit with CCA with a maximum  amount of $500,000
available  to CCA at March 31,  1997.  The  Company has also  established  three
Irrevocable  Standby Letter of Credit in the total amount of $10.0  million.  In
addition,  the  Company  has  obligations  under  operating  leases  aggregating
approximately  $224.0  million at March 31, 1997.  The Company owns  warrants to
purchase  approximately  14.9% of CCA,  and the  Company's  Chairman  and  Chief
Executive  Officer  beneficially owns  approximately  21.1% of CCA's outstanding
common  stock.  In addition,  with respect to certain  acquired  businesses  the
Company is  obligated  to make  certain  contingent  payments if earnings of the
acquired  business  increase  or earnings  targets are met.  The Company is also
obligated under certain  circumstances to make contingent payments of up to $155
million in respect of its acquisition of First American.

         The liquidity of the Company will depend in large part on the timing of
payments by private third-party and governmental  payors,  including payments in
excess of regional cost  reimbursement  limitations  established under Medicare.
Costs in excess of the regional  reimbursement  limits  relate  primarily to the
delivery of services and patient care to the Company's MSU patients.

                                  Page 16 of 19





         The Company  anticipates that cash from operations and borrowings under
revolving  credit  facilities  will be  adequate  to cover  its  scheduled  debt
payments and future  anticipated  capital  expenditure  requirements  throughout
1997. The Company expects to continue to be growth oriented in 1997 by expanding
acquiring its existing  operations, continuing to implement its MSU programs and
by the acquisition of additional facilities and ancillary service companies, and
obtaining agreements to manage additional facilities.

PART II:    OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  -  Other Information
            -----------------

            Settlement with Coram
            ---------------------


            On  October  19,  1996,  IHS and  Coram  entered  into a  definitive
            agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement")  providing for
            the merger of a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of IHS into  Coram,  with
            Coram becoming a wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS. Under the terms of
            the Merger Agreement,  holders of Coram common stock were to receive
            for each  share  of  Coram  common  stock  0.2111  of a share of the
            Company's  Common Stock.  As a result of the merger,  IHS would have
            assumed  approximately  $375  million of  indebtedness.  On April 4,
            1997,  IHS  notified  Coram  that it had  exercised  its  rights  to
            terminate the Merger  Agreement.  IHS also  terminated the March 30,
            1997 letter amendment, setting forth proposed revisions to the terms
            of the merger (which  included a reduction in the exchange  ratio to
            0.15 of a share of IHS Common  Stock for each share of Coram  common
            stock),  prior to the revisions  becoming  effective at the close of
            business  on April 4, 1997.  On May 5, 1997,  IHS and Coram  entered
            into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company paid Coram
            $21  million  in full  settlement  of all  claims  Coram  might have
            against IHS pursuant to the Merger  Agreement which the Company will
            recognize  in the  second  quarter.  In  addition,  during the first
            quarter the Company  incurred $6.6 million of accounting,  legal and
            other costs related to the merger.

            tender  offers,  subject to certain  conditions  including,  without

            borrowings   under  its  credit   facility,   to  purchase  all  its
            outstanding 9-5/8% Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2002 Series A (the

            $1,094 plus accrued and unpaid  interest to, but not including,  the
            payment date,  consisting of $1,089 plus accrued and unpaid interest

            midnight on the Expiration Date in order to receive the tender offer
