                   Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
          For the Unaudited Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001

Note A: Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying   unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts  of  Greenbriar   Corporation  and  its   majority-owned   subsidiaries
(collectively,  "the Company").  All significant  intercompany  transactions and
accounts have been eliminated.

The  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting   principles  for  interim   financial   information   and  with  the
instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and,  accordingly,  do  not  include  all  of  the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles.
These  financial  statements  have not been  examined by  independent  certified
public  accountants,   but  in  the  opinion  of  management,   all  adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair presentation of
consolidated  results  of  operations,   consolidated   financial  position  and
consolidated  cash flows at the dates and for the periods  indicated,  have been
included.

Operating  results  for the  three-month  period  ended  March 31,  2002 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2002. For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements  and notes thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.



Note B: Notes Receivable From Sale Of Property

During  2001,  the Company  sold three  properties  for cash and  $6,400,000  of
tax-free-notes  bearing  interest  at 9.5%.  The notes  mature on April 1, 2032,
March 20, 2037 and August 1, 2031 respectively.

The  repayment  of the  notes  is  limited  to the cash  flow of the  respective
communities either from operations,  refinance or sale. The Company has deferred
gains in the amount of $6,090,000.  The deferred gains and interest  income will
be recognized as cash is received.


Note C: Affiliated Partnerships


In October 2001, the Company became a limited partner in Corinthians Real Estate
Investors LP (CREI), a partnership formed to acquire two properties. The general
partner is a limited liability  corporation  whose  controlling  member is James
Gilley.  Mr.  Gilley is also CEO of the  Company.  The  Company is a 56% limited
partner.  Mr.  Gilley  has a  25.9%  interest,  the  general  partner  has a .1%
interest,  the Company's chief financial officer has a 10.5% interest, and other
employees of the Company have interests  aggregating  7.5%. In October 2001, the


                                       7


Partnership acquired a retirement community for approximately  $9,100,000 and in
January  2002,  it acquired  an  assisted  living  community  for  approximately
$2,800,000.

The Company  issued a $1,600,000  note to the seller as partial  payment for the
purchase of the  retirement  community.  The balance of the  purchase  price was
funded by  borrowings  by CREI from a third  party in the amount of  $7,840,000,
which was guaranteed by the Company.  CREI gave the Company a $1,600,000 note in
consideration  for payment of that amount of the purchase price.  The notes bear
interest  at 8.75%  and are due  December  30,  2003.  CREI also has debt in the
amount of $3,975,000  collateralized  by the assisted living  community that has
been guaranteed by the Company.

The Company accounts for its investment in CREI by the equity method and records
56% of the gains or losses of CREI. In addition,  because of its debt guarantees
the Company's  policy is to record all cash losses of CREI that are in excess of
its 56%  investment.  For the  three-months  ended  March 31,  2002 the  Company
recorded a loss of $121,000.  The Company had a receivable  of $112,000 at March
31, 2002, resulting from advances to CREI.

2004),  the Company has options to repurchase the communities for the greater of
the sales prices or their current  replacement costs less depreciation plus land
at  current  fair  market  values.  Accordingly,  these  transactions  have been
accounted for as financings,  and the Company has recorded the proceeds from the
sales as  financing  obligations,  classified  the lease  payments  as  interest
expense and continues to carry the communities and record depreciation.

                                       10

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        OF OPERATIONS
        -------------


Overview

The Company owns and manages  assisted living  communities that provide housing,
healthcare, hospitality and personal services to seniors. As of May 13, 2002 the
Company  operates  12  communities  in seven  states  with a  capacity  of 1,069
residents,  consisting of three communities that are owned, four that are leased
and five that are managed under  contract to one of the  Company's  subsidiaries
for third party owners.


Three-month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to three-month period ended
March 31, 2001.


Revenues and Operating Expenses from Assisted Living Operations

Revenues were  $2,925,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared
to  $9,976,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2001.  Community  operating
expenses, which consist of assisted living community expenses, lease expense and
depreciation and amortization,  were $2,367,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2002 as compared to $8,023,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.


During the last nine months of 2001 the Company  disposed of 11  Communities  as
part of a  redemption  of its Series E and F Preferred  Stock.  The Company also
sold three Communities to not for profit  organizations and retained a long-term
management  contract.  The  company  also  sold one  Community  and  leased  one
Community to independent  third parties.  In addition the Company entered into a
sub-management   contract  for  three  properties  whereby  the  sub-manager  is
retaining  the  revenue  and  paying  the  expenses  as  their  fee for  being a
sub-manager.  The  sub-manager  also has an agreement to acquire the Communities
upon approval of the third party lenders.  For reporting purposes the Company no
longer records the revenue and operating expenses of the three Communities.

In  October  of 2001 and  January of 2002 the  Company  obtained  a 56%  limited
partnership  interest in two  Communities.  These  Communities are accounted for
using the equity method of  accounting.  Therefore,  the Company does not record
the revenue and expenses of the Communities.


                                       11


Overall the Company recorded revenue and expenses for nineteen fewer Communities
during the three months ended March 31, 2002 than for the  comparable  period in
the preceding  year. On a "same store basis" revenue and operating  expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 would have been  $2,652,000 and $2,196,000
respectively.



Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

General and  administrative  expenses  were  $431,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 compared to $1,184,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
The decrease in the corporate general and administrative expenses is primarily a
result of a decrease  in  salaries  and  related  payroll  expenses.  Due to the
significant  reduction in the number of Communities operated by the Company, the
number of employees on the corporate staff was reduced. In addition the salaries
for members of senior management have been reduced. Also during the three months
ended March 31, 2001 the Company was incurring legal and professional  fees with
respect to a lawsuit was a preferred shareholder. Professional fees decreased by
$189,000  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  2002  when  compared  to the
comparable period of 2001.

Interest Income

Interest Income  increased to $164,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002
as compared to $77,000 for the three months  ended March 31,  2001.  Included in
2002 is $117,000 of interest received from the notes receivable from the sale of
properties.  Interest  income  from  investments  other  than  notes  receivable
decreased by $70,000 due to lower interest rates and a less money invested.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $628,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002
as compared to $1,422,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Due to the
reduction in the number of  Communities  the Company's  long-term  debt has been
reduced  significantly.  The  interest  expense on a "same store  basis" for the
three  months  ended March 31, 2001 would have been  $562,000.  The  increase in
interest  expense on a "same store basis" is due  principally to higher interest
rates on existing borrowings.

Other Income (Expense)

Other Income  (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $(81,000))
which  represented  minority  interest in a Community.  The  community  was sold
during 2001.


                                       12


Net gain on the Sale of Assets

The net gain on the sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was
$381,000.  The gain is  attributable to the sale of Company's  corporate  office
building,  which  resulted in a gain of $406,000 and the sale of certain  garden
homes and related property that was adjacent to Camelot Retirement that resulted
in a loss of $25,000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31,  2002,  the Company had current  assets of  $3,588,000  and current
liabilities of $6,936,000.

Operating  activities  used $312,000 of cash in 2002 and $1,214,000 in 2001. The
decrease  in cash  used  in 2002 as  compared  to  2001  was the net  result  of
decreased cash for certain working capital accounts.

Investing  Activities  used $48,000 of cash in 2002 and provided  $2,676,000  of
cash in 2001. In 2001 the Company sold certain  assets,  including its corporate
office  building,  and  realized  cash  proceeds  of  $2,767,000.  There were no
property sales in 2002.

Financing activities provided $179,000 in cash in 2002 and used $212,000 in cash
in 2001. In 2002 the Company had increased net  borrowings of $179,000  while in
2001 the Company had a net  reduction in debt of  $132,000.  In addition in 2001
the Company paid $80,000 in dividends in 2001.  There were no dividend  payments
in 2002.

Included in current  liabilities is a $3,360,000 mortgage for an assisted living
community,  which matures in October 2002. The Company intends to refinance that
mortgage on a long-term basis prior to its maturity date.

During  2001  the  Company  reduced  it  long-term  debt  from   $50,887,000  to
$16,693,000.  The reduction was due to the sale of properties  and the repayment
of the mortgages related to the properties.

In January  1997 the  Company  negotiated  employment  contracts  with the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial  Officer (CFO) of the Company.  Both
individuals  had  been  employed  by the  Company  since  1989.  The  employment
contracts called for combined salaries of $640,000 per year and provided that if
the contracts were  terminated or amended the  individuals  would be entitled to
cash payment of three years salary for the CEO and two years salary for the CFO.
In light of the reduced size of the Company the  independent  directors  and the
officers in October 2001 agreed to modify the employment agreements with the two
officers.  The two  officers  have each  agreed to  continue  their roles in the
Company for $12,000 per year for three years.  The  revisions  in the  contracts
triggered the contract termination payments requiring the Company to immediately
pay the two officers  $1,740,000.  However,  the two  officers  agreed to accept
non-interest-bearing  notes due  December  31,  2004.  These notes have  certain
acceleration  provisions  if the  Company  violates  the  terms  of the  revised
contracts.


                                       13


In the future the two officers will participate with the Company in partnerships
or other entities formed to acquire and sell real estate  properties  during the
period of their contracts. The Company believes that this arrangement will allow
it to maintain  experienced senior management at a cost that will not overburden
its resources while at the same time allowing it to realize  significant profits
through  management  fees,  operating  profits  and  the  ultimate  sale  of the
properties.

It is anticipated that the Company will acquire  additional  properties  through
investments  in  third  party  entities,  which  for  the  most  part,  will  be
partnerships.  The Company may or may not be the controlling  party with respect
to these investments.  It is anticipated that the two senior officers will bring
potential  acquisitions  and  financing  to  Greenbriar.   The  Company  has  no
obligation to participate.

The Company conducts its property  management  operations through its subsidiary
Senior Living Management, Inc (SLM). SLM expects to manage properties, which are
owned or leased by the Company or are owned by  partnerships  or other  entities
where  Greenbriar  is an  investor,  for a fee. To a far lesser  degree SLM will
manage properties for independent third parties.



Future  acquisitions by of the Company are dependent upon obtaining  capital and
financing  through  various  means,  including  financing  obtained  from loans,
sale/leaseback  transactions,  long-term  state bond  financing,  debt or equity
offerings and, to the extent  available,  cash generated from operations.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate  capital to
finance its projected growth.

1995:  A number of the matters and subject  areas  discussed in this filing that

operations,  and prospects.  The discussion of such matters and subject areas is
qualified  by  the  inherent   risks  and   uncertainties   surrounding   future
