ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

      On January 13, 2010, Integrated Healthcare Holdings, Inc. ("IHHI") and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "BORROWERS") entered into an Amended and
Restated Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") with Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri
("DR. CHAUDHURI") and KPC Resolution Company, LLC ("KPC"). The MOU amends and
restates the original Memorandum of Understanding entered into by IHHI and Dr.
Chaudhuri on or about August 12, 2009.

      On or about August 3, 2009, IHHI's primary lenders, Medical Capital
Corporation and certain of its affiliates ("MEDCAP"), were placed into
receivership by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Concurrently with entering into the MOU, KPC entered into a definitive loan
purchase agreement with the SEC-appointed receiver for MedCap (the "MEDCAP
RECEIVER") to purchase all of IHHI's credit facilities with MedCap (the "CREDIT
FACILITIES") and certain warrants to purchase common stock of IHHI that were
issued to MedCap (the "WARRANTS").

      The MOU provides IHHI with certain benefits and obligations upon the
completion of the acquisition of the Credit Facilities and Warrants by KPC. The
following are the material terms of the MOU:

      o     The Borrowers will cooperate exclusively with the efforts of Dr.
            Chaudhuri and KPC to acquire the Credit Facilities from the MedCap
            Receiver.

      o     Dr. Chaudhuri will support, subject to the conditions and
            limitations set forth in the MOU, the continuation through October
            2011 of the rent abatement from IHHI's landlord, Pacific Coast
            Holdings Investment, LLC.

      o     IHHI has asserted certain claims against the MedCap Receiver in
            connection with a credit balance in favor of IHHI under the Credit
            Facilities (the "CREDIT BALANCE"), and such claims have been refuted
            by the MedCap Receiver. Under the MOU, (i) the Borrowers will
            furnish to the MedCap Receiver a release of MedCap, its affiliates
            and the MedCap Receiver from claims arising out of the Credit
            Facilities and certain other claims, including a release of the
            Credit Balance, and (ii) Dr. Chaudhuri will pay to the Borrowers an
            amount equal to the value that such claims would have had as an
            unsecured claim in the receivership estate of MedCap.

      o     The MedCap Receiver has asserted certain contractual claims against
            IHHI in connection with the Credit Facilities. Under the MOU, (i)
            the Borrowers will receive from the MedCap Receiver a limited
            release of such claims, and (ii) KPC will waive any right to assert
            such claims as the successor lender under the Credit Facilities
            (including the right to any interest, penalties or fees under the
            Credit Facilities for the period prior to KPC's acquisition of the
            Credit Facilities).

      o     IHHI agreed to cooperate with Dr. Chaudhuri and KPC in good faith to
            restructure the Credit Facilities in a mutually beneficial manner
            upon completion of KPC's acquisition of the Credit Facilities. Among
            other things, (i) the Borrowers will assist Dr. Chaudhuri and KPC in
            modifying IHHI's $80,000,000 Credit Agreement and $10,700,000 Credit
            Agreement to remove accounts receivable as security for those loans,
            (ii) the $50,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement, under which there
            is no balance owing by IHHI, will automatically terminate, and (iii)
            if requested by KPC, the Borrowers will extend the maturity date of
            the $80,000,000 Credit Agreement and $10,700,000 Credit Agreement
            for up to three years past their current maturity date of October 8,
            2010.

                                      - 1 -


      o     IHHI will issue a five-year warrant to Dr. Chaudhuri to acquire up
            to 170,000,000 shares of IHHI common stock at an exercise price of
            $0.05 per share.

      The MOU is furnished as an exhibit to this Report. The preceding
description of the MOU is summary in nature and does not purport to be complete.
This summary should be read in connection with the exhibits hereto.

ITEM 3.02   UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

      As disclosed in Item 1.01 above, IHHI agreed to issue a five-year warrant
to Dr. Chaudhuri upon the acquisition of the Credit Facilities by KPC. The
disclosure regarding such warrant contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated into
this Item 3.02 by reference. The issuance of such warrant or the underlying
shares of common stock will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"), or any state securities laws, and will be sold in a
transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
