ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

      On September 29, 2004, Integrated Healthcare Holdings Inc. (the "Company")
entered into definitive forms of agreements with Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri involving
a new investment in the Company and financial support to enable the Company to
acquire hospitals and healthcare facilities from subsidiaries of Tenet
Healthcare Corporation (collectively, "Tenet") as part of its business plan. The
following material terms have been agreed to by the Company and Dr. Chaudhuri:

            o     Dr. Chaudhuri will invest $500,000 in the Company in the form
                  of a Convertible Secured Promissory Note, and may provide
                  additional financing directly to the Company as needed;

            o     Dr. Chaudhuri will loan $10 million to the Company to be used
                  by the Company as a good faith deposit towards the Company's
                  proposed acquisition of hospitals from Tenet;

            o     Dr. Chaudhuri will provide a personal guaranty of up to $10
                  million to cover Tenet's post-closing liability on a lease for
                  the Chapman Hospital that the Company proposes to acquire from
                  Tenet. If the Company acquires the Chapman Hospital, it will
                  assign to Dr. Chaudhuri the underlying lease and operating
                  assets relating to the hospital;

            o     Dr. Chaudhuri will have an option to acquire all of the real
                  estate which the Company acquires from Tenet for $5 million,
                  and will assume the underlying debt and other obligations
                  relating to the real estate;

            o     The Convertible Secured Promissory Note will be initially
                  convertible into 160 million shares of the Company's Common
                  Stock, or 88.8% of the Company's outstanding shares after
                  giving effect to the new issuance (and possibly an additional
                  10 million shares if additional financing is provided to the
                  Company); and

            o     Dr. Chaudhuri will receive pre-emptive rights to participate
                  in additional issuances of Company shares, and receive
                  piggyback registration rights relating to his stock.
