In the opinion of Management, all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Amended Form 10-K/A, Retirement Care Associates, Inc.

The Company restated its financial information for periods commencing June 30, 1996 through the nine months ended March 31, 1997, as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters ended September 30, 1996, December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997.

Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecast results include, but are not limited to: general economic and business conditions, both nationally and in the regions in which the Company operates; industry capacity; demographic changes; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; legislative proposals for reform; the ability to enter into lease and management contracts and arrangements on acceptable terms; changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement levels; liability and other claims asserted against the Company; competition; changes in business strategy or development plans; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the significant indebtedness of the Company; and the availability and terms of capital to fund the expansion of the Company's business, including the acquisition of additional facilities.

-8- 9 RETIREMENT CARE ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Amended Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, File No 1-14114. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods reported. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. NOTE 2: RESTATEMENT The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, as originally reported, reflected certain balances which were subsequently determined to be incorrect and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 were restated as follows (in thousands):
As Previously Reported As Restated ---------------------- ----------- Revenues $182,181 $182,181 Operating Expenses $188,365 $182,199* Net Earnings (Loss) applicable to common stock $ (4,369) $ (608) Shareholders' Equity $ 36,790 $ 36,780
- ------------------- * Restated Operating Expenses included (in thousands) (i) a reduction in the accrual for employee benefits of $3,700, (ii) restated inventory of $1,955,(iii) a reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts of $580, and (iv) restated general and administrative expenses of $74. NOTE 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND COST REIMBURSEMENTS Accounts receivable and operating revenue include net amounts reimbursed by Medicaid under the provisions of cost reimbursement formulas in effect. The Company operates under a prospective payment system with Medicare, under which annual rates are assigned based on estimated reimbursements. Differences between estimated provisions and final settlement are reflected as adjustments to future rates. -9- 10 RETIREMENT CARE ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 4. INVENTORIES Inventories consisting mainly of medical supplies, are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. NOTE 5: ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES At March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, the Company had advances to (from) affiliates totaling approximately ($11,897,266) and $66,991, respectively, and are due on demand. NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consisted of the following:
March 31, June 30, 1998 1997 ------------ ------------ Amounts outstanding under Revenue Bonds secured by retirement facilities $ 81,400,000 $ 74,675,000 Other debt secured by retirement and nursing facilities 40,390,000 40,700,380 Other debt 21,577,846 15,780,008 Capitalized leases 21,972,802 21,972,802 Totals 165,340,648 153,128,190 Current maturities 16,826,034 11,454,059 Total long-term debt $148,514,614 $141,674,131
In connection with the bond indentures underlying the revenue bonds, the Company is required to meet certain covenants, including monthly sinking fund deposits, adequate balances in debt service reserve funds, timely payment of tax obligations and adequate insurance coverage. At March 31, 1998, the Company was in default under several of these covenants, including the failure to make monthly payments to the bond sinking funds for certain of the facilities and inadequate debt service reserves for certain of the facilities. The Company is also delinquent with regard to the payment of property taxes at several facilities. The bond indentures underlie industrial development revenue bonds, municipal revenue bonds and housing development mortgage bonds that, together, totalled approximately $50,785,000 at June 30, 1997. The following table includes the bonds that were in default as of June 30, 1997:
AMOUNT BOND TRUSTEE OUTSTANDING ---- -------------- ----------- Jacksonville Series 1996....................... Sentinel Trust $ 8,370,000 Jacksonville Series 1994.......................

The Company generally has a grace period of 30 days to cure defaults after receipt of written notification from the bond trustee, and no such written notification has been received. The Company believes that it is probable that, upon receipt of such written notification, the Company could cure such defaults within the 30 day grace period. -10- 11 On December 15, 1997, HCFP Funding, Inc. ("HCFP"), the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, pursuant to which HCFP granted to the Company a $14 million revolving line of credit (the "HCFP Loan"). The HCFP Loan is secured by a priority lien on all of the Company's accounts receivable and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2%. The outstanding principal and interest under the HCFP Loan are due on December 15, 2001, and the HCFP Loan may be renewed for one-year periods thereafter upon the mutual written agreement of the parties. NOTE 7: ANCILLARY SERVICE AGREEMENTS The Company has entered into various agreements with Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun") to provide ancillary services such as therapy services and pharmaceutical services to the Company's long-term care facilities. The agreements provided for the Company to cause all of its facilities to promptly take all reasonable action, including, without limitation, terminating existing contracts with other providers of ancillary services in accordance with the terms thereof, and to cause all facilities to begin receiving all of their required ancillary services from Sun or Sun's affiliates as soon as practicable after November 25, 1997. The Company is notifying all existing ancillary service providers of the termination of services and expects to receive all such services from Sun by February 1998. The agreements may not be terminated until 14 days after the termination of the merger agreement with Sun, at which time either party may freely terminate. NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted the provisions of SFAS 128 for reporting purposes. Earnings available to common shares has been computed as net income less all preferred stock dividends earned during the period, whether or not declared. No additional securities have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they would be antidilutive. See the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 for a description of securities which may potentially be dilutive in the future. NOTE 9: YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE The Company has reviewed all of its current computer applications with respect to the date change from 1999 to the year 2000, as discussed in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Legal Bulletin No. 5 (the "Year 2000 Issue"). The Company believes that certain of its applications are substantially in compliance with the Year 2000 Issue and that any additional costs with respect to compliance with the Year 2000 Issue will not be material to the Company. The Company is currently unable to determine the effect of compliance with the Year 2000 Issue by its customers and suppliers. -11- 12 NOTE 10: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SUN MERGER AGREEMENT. On November 25, 1997, the Company entered into the third amendment ("Amendment No. 3") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") between the Company and Sun. Amendment No. 3 changes the exchange ratio in the Merger Agreement from 0.520 shares of the common stock of Sun for each share the Company's common stock to that number of shares of the common stock of Sun having a market value, based on the average closing price for the common stock of Sun equal to $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment up or down in event of the significant appreciation or depreciation in the price of the common stock of Sun. Amendment No. 3 also (i) waives certain responsibilities and warranties which had become materially incorrect since the date of the original Merger Agreement; (ii) modifies the definition of "Company Material Adverse Effect" to related only to changes in the assets and liabilities of the Company; (iii) contains provisions relating to Sun and its affiliates providing ancillary services to the Company and its affiliates; (iv) contains provisions allowing the Company to obtain up to $15 million in working capital financing under certain conditions; (v) contains provisions relating to certain related company leases; (vi) modifies the conditions to Sun's obligations to consummate the merger with the Company related to the Company's representations and warranties and makes corresponding modifications to Sun's termination rights; (vii) provides a termination fee payable to the Company in the event Sun's board of directors changes its recommendation of the merger in a manner adverse to the Company; (viii) contains certain other technical provisions; and (ix) extends the date after which either party may freely terminate the Merger Agreement from November 30, 1997 (or under certain circumstances, December 31, 1997) to June 30, 1998. NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company is in dispute with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concerning the application of certain income and payroll tax liabilities and payments. The IRS contends that the Company is delinquent in the payment of certain taxes and has assessed taxes, penalties and interest in connection with the alleged underpayment of approximately $1.2 million. The Company contends that the IRS has misapplied payments between income and payroll taxes and between the Company and its affiliates. Based on the opinion of counsel handling the matter that it is unlikely that a settlement of the dispute would require a payment materially greater than $400,000 plus interest, the Company has estimated and accrued in the accompanying financial statements $400,000 for ultimate settlement of this matter. Further, the Company has filed lawsuits against the IRS related to this matter. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of pending legal proceedings and the IRS dispute will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On November 25, 1997, the Company, Sun and representatives of the plaintiffs entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"). Pursuant to the MOU, Sun has agreed to pay $9 million into an interest bearing escrow account maintained by Sun to settle ten putative class action lawsuits ("Actions") filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The Company has also agreed to assign coverage under its directors' and officers' liability insurance policy for these specific claims to the plaintiffs in the Actions. The payment and assignment (the "Settlement") is contingent upon the closing of the merger with Sun and confirmatory discovery and is subject to the execution of definitive documentation and court approval. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Settlement, all claims by the plaintiffs that were or could have been asserted by the plaintiffs against the Company or any of the other defendants in the Actions will be settled and released and the Actions will be dismissed in their entirety with prejudice in exchange for the release of all funds from the Escrow Account to the plaintiffs. The Company has not recorded an accrual of the Settlement in its financial statements because it is not apparent to the Company's management that a liability has been incurred or that the Company's assets are impaired as of the date hereof. The Company cannot establish the amount of potential liability, if any, to be incurred by the Company because the Actions are still in their preliminary stages and the Settlement is still contingent on the closing of the merger with Sun. Although the MOU has been executed with respect to the Settlement, the Settlement is only effective if the proposed merger with Sun is consummated. If the proposed merger with Sun is not consummated and the Settlement becomes null and void, the Company will vigorously defend against the Actions. -12- 13 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 The Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998, were $83,117,689 compared to $65,799,856 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the Company patient service revenue increased from $53,044,270 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $72,743,493 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The Company was operating 101 facilities for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to 86 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The cost of patient services in the amount of $52,899,755 for the quarter ended March 31,1998 represented 73% of patient service revenue, as compared to $36,301,053, or 68% of patient service revenue during the quarter ended March 31,1997. Medical supply revenue decreased from $11,815,392 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $9,338,426 during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. These revenues, which are revenues of Contour Medical, Inc. ("Contour"), a majority-owned subsidiary, decreased primarily due to volume. Cost of medical supplies sold as a percentage of medical supply revenue decreased 5% from 68% during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, as compared to approximately 63% during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower costs of product purchased. Management fees decreased from $632,580 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $409,667 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. As of March 31, 1997, the Company was managing 20 facilities, and as of March 31, 1998, the Company was only managing 8 facilities. The reduced number of facilities managed by the Company is due to the fact that the Company leased three long-term facilities and four assisted living/independent facilities and purchased one long-term care facility and two assisted living/independent living facilities from Messrs. Brogdon and Lane. In addition, two third-party assisted living/independent living facilities cancelled their management contracts with the Company. The Company purchased and leased these facilities to reduce the affiliated receivable due the Company and to increase the number of facilities owned or leased, rather than just managed, by the Company. Management anticipates that the number of facilities only managed by the Company will continue to decline as a result of the acquisition of such facilities by the Company. Owning or leasing a facility is distinctly different from managing a facility with respect to operating results and cash flows. For an owned or leased facility, the entire revenue/expense stream of the facility is recorded on the Company's income statement. In the case of a management agreement, only the management fee is recorded. The expenses associated with management revenue are somewhat indirect as the infrastructure is already in place to manage the facility. Therefore, the profitability of managing a facility appears more lucrative on a margin basis than that of an owned/leased facility. However, the risk of managing a facility is that the contract generally can be canceled on a relatively short notice, which results in loss of all revenue attributable to the contract. Furthermore, with an owned or leased property the Company benefits from the increase in value of the facility as its performance increases. With a management contract, the owner of the facility maintains the equity value. From a cash flow standpoint, a management contract is more lucrative because the Company does not have to support the ongoing operating cash flow of the facility. -13- 14 Most of the revenue from the management services division of the Company's business is received pursuant to management agreements with entities controlled by Messrs. Brogdon and Lane, two of the Company's officers and directors. These management agreements have three to five year terms and are terminable on 60 days notice with or without cause by either the Company or the owners. Therefore, Messrs. Brogdon and Lane have full control over whether or not these management agreements, and thus the management service revenue, continue in the future. Other operating revenue increased from $307,614 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $626,103 during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily the Company's percentage of the net income of an unconsolidated subsidiary recorded by the Company on the equity method. Lease expense increased from $3,668,546 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $5,214,327 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the increased numbers of facilities that the Company has leased. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $14,878,159, representing 18% of total revenues, as compared to $10,026,455, representing 15% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in the dollar amount is primarily due to the general and administrative expenses related to operating the additional facilities owned or leased by the Company, and approximately $650,000 was due to legal, accounting and other costs related to the pending merger with Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. Interest expense increased from $3,424,921 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $4,728,931 during the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as a result of the increased amount of debt carried by the Company as a result of acquisitions consummated during the preceding twelve months. At March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $151 million in long-term debt, as compared to approximately $165 million in long-term debt at March 31, 1998. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company received no income tax benefit, as compared to a tax benefit of $420,000 which represents an effective tax benefit of 25% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Company had a net loss of $2,436,870 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to net income of $1,293,737 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The change is attributable to a deterioration in the Company's operations as a result of the pendency of and delays associated with the merger with Sun, including higher-than-normal turnover, and costs associated with the integration and operation of the Company's recently-acquired Virginia and North Carolina facilities (including certain regulatory compliance problems). NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 The Company's total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, were $242,675,728 compared to $182,180,929 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Due to the increased number of facilities owned or leased by the Company, patient service revenue increased from $142,969,704 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 to 208,073,082 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The Company was operating 101 facilities for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, compared to 86 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The cost of patient services in the amount of 151,475,580 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, represented 73% of patient service revenue, as compared to 101,622,310 or 71% of patient service revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Medical supply revenue decreased from 34,592,701 during the nine months ended March 31, 1997, to 31,696,160 during the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in amount is primarily a result of increases in the cost of products sold and increased competition in the -14- 15 medical supply industry, which has decreased the sale price of most products. These revenues, which are revenues of Contour Medical, Inc., ("Contour"), a majority-owned subsidiary, decreased primarily due to volume. Cost of medical supplies sold as a percentage of medical supply revenue was approximately 68% during the nine months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to approximately 68% of such revenue during the same period last year. Management fees decreased from 2,125,201 in the nine months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,379,110 in the nine months ended March 31, 1998. As of March 31, 1997, the Company was managing 20 facilities, and as of March 31, 1998, the Company was only managing 8 facilities. The reduced number of facilities managed by the Company is due to the fact that the Company leased three long-term care facilities and four assisted living/independent living facilities and purchased one long-term care facility and two assisted living/independent living facilities from Messrs. Brogdon and Lane. In addition, two third-party assisted living/independent living facilities cancelled their management contracts with the Company. The Company purchased and leased these facilities to reduce the affiliated receivable due the Company and to increase the number of facilities owned or leased, rather than just managed by the Company.

Brogdon and Lane have full control over whether or not these management agreements, and thus the management service revenue, continue in the future. Other operating revenue decreased from $2,493,323 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $1,527,376 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is primarily a result of one-time referral fees of $650,000 received from a building contractor, and approximately $580,000 in interest income from affiliated companies included in the March 31, 1997 amount. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 were $43,113,784 representing 18% of total revenues, as compared to $32,630, 996, representing 18% of total revenues, for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in the dollar amount is primarily due to the general and administrative expenses related to operating the additional facilities owned or leased by the Company, and approximately $1,450,000 was due to legal and accounting expenses related to the pending merger with Sun. Interest expense increased from $8,576,528 during the nine months ended March 31, 1997, to $12,880,147 during the nine months ended March 31, 1998, as a result of the increased amount of debt carried by the Company as a result of acquisitions made over the last twelve months. At March 31, 1997 the Company had approximately $151 million in long-term debt, as compared to approximately $165 million in long-term debt at December 31, 1998. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company received an income tax benefit of $1,340,000, as compared to a tax benefit of $40,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The net loss of $6,792,685 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, compares to a net loss of $607,895 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The increased loss is attributable to the fact that the Company's operations have deteriorated as a result of the pendency of and delays associated with the merger with Sun, including higher-than-normal turnover, and costs associated with the integration and operation of the Company's recently-acquired Virginia and North Carolina facilities (including certain regulatory compliance problems.) -15- 16 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 1998 the Company had a deficit of $29,514,277 in working capital compared to a deficit of $10,489,285 at June 30, 1997. The funds needed to reduce the increasing deficit in working capital could be provided by increased efforts to collect accounts receivable, possible refinancing of selected facilities, extended payment terms to major vendors for food and supplies, and increased control over expenses. During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, cash used by operating activities was $936,190, as compared to $14,635,461 during the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The cash used during the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily due to the net loss of $6,792,685, for the nine months ended March 31, 1998; increases in accounts receivable of $12,683,348 from Medicare settlements, increases in receivables on the 11 facilities added in the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 1997 and increases in Contour accounts receivable; increases in Contour inventory of $3,114,061 for primarily two new distribution centers. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily depreciation and amortization of $5,010,110 on facilities, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $15,192,914 from 11 facilities added in the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 1997. Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 1998, totaled $30,442,434 as compared to $32,518,396 during the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The company expended $13,327,849 on the purchase of property and equipment including the purchase of a long-term care facility for $5,400,000 on October 1, 1997 from individuals who are officers and directors of the Company. The facility was subject to bond debt of $4,285,000. The Company applied the remaining purchase price of $1,115,000 against the advance to the facility of $919,148 from the Company, thereby resulting in an advance from the facility of $195,852 due to the Company. The Company paid $4,499,916 for restricted bond funds on facilities and advanced $11,964,255 to affiliated companies. The advances are due on demand. The Company issues advances and notes receivable to affiliated companies controlled by Messrs. Brogdon and Lane to finance working capital deficits and capital expenditures of facilities which are managed by the Company. In the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, these advances represent a good use of the Company's funds because they enable such affiliated companies to develop their properties, increase census revenue and increase the fair market value of the facilities, which gives the Company greater assurances that the facilities will continue to pay management fees to the Company. Further, as census revenues increase, management fees payable to the Company will likewise increase. In addition, as properties mature and develop, they may be acquired by the Company with a portion of the purchase price payable through the cancellation of advances and notes receivable due the Company. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 1998, totaled $30,038,839 as compared to $47,464,689 during the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Sources of cash included additional lines of credit of $16,734,969 which included $14,000,000 from Health Care Financial Partners, an unrelated third party. The interest rate on the line of credit is prime plus 2% and is due on December 15, 2001, collateralized by a first lien on accounts receivable of the Company. The Company incurred long-term debt of $14,102,069 including $5,000,000 from Sun and $4,285,000 of bond debt on the acquisition of a long-term care facility from two individuals who are officers and directors of the Company. The bond debt is due 2015, with an interest rate of 9.5%. Sources of cash also included proceeds from issuance of stock options of $2,085,976. Cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $464,000 in payments on long-term debt, $600,000 in redemption of Series AA Preferred Stock, and $105,000 in dividends on preferred stock. On September 30, 1994, the Company purchased a majority of the stock of Contour in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock and preferred stock. The Company is obligated to redeem the preferred stock issued in the transaction over five years for $3,000,000 in cash. The Company paid $600,000 on September 30, 1997 pursuant to this obligation. Management intends to fund future redemptions from cash flow generated from operations. The Company believes that its long-term liquidity needs will generally be met by income from operations. If necessary, the Company believes that it can obtain an extension of its current line of credit and/or other lines of credit from commercial sources. Except as described above, the Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments or understandings that would impact its liquidity. The Company maintains various lines of credit with interest rates ranging from prime plus .25% to prime plus 2.0%. At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $3,500,000 in unused credit available under such lines. -16- 17 IMPACT OF PENDING FEDERAL HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION Management is uncertain what the financial impact will be of the pending federal health care reform package since the legislation has not been finalized. However, based on information which has been released to the public thus far, management doesn't believe that there will be cuts in reimbursements paid to nursing homes. Legislative and regulatory action at the state and federal level has resulted in continuing changes in the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs. The changes have limited payment increases under those programs. Also, the timing of payments made under Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to regulatory action and governmental budgetary constraints. Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to administrative rulings and interpretations which may further affect payments made under these programs. Further, the federal and state governments may reduce the funds available under those programs in the future or require more stringent utilization and quality review of health care facilities. -17- 18 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, as amended, includes information in Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings, with regard to litigation commenced during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as well as information regarding the period covered by such report. The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 1997, as amended, includes information in Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, with regard to litigation commenced during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 as well as information regarding the period covered by such report. Such information is incorporated herein by this reference. On December 30, 1997, the Company and Theratx, Inc. ("Theratx") settled the lawsuit filed by Theratx against the Company for an aggregate amount of $2.5 million, which amount includes payment for additional services rendered subsequent to the filing of the original complaint by Theratx. On December 15, 1997, judgment was entered against the Company and Capitol Care Management Company, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("Capitol Care"), for the full amount of the damages claimed (plus interest and fees) by CMS Therapies, Inc. ("CMS") in CMS' lawsuits against the Company and Capitol Care. On March 27, 1998, these matters were settled for the aggregate amount of $2.4 million, which amount includes interest and fees. On December 10, 1997, a derivative complaint was filed by Brickell Partners ("Brickell") in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, naming the Company's directors, Christopher Brogdon, Edward E. Lane, Darrell C. Tucker, Julian S. Daley and Harlan Mathews, as defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty and gross negligence against the director defendants. The defendants responded to the complaint on March 6, 1998 by filing a motion to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and filing motions to dismiss based upon lack of personal jurisdiction and failure to properly state a cause of action. The Company intends vigorously to defend this action. The Company has purchased and maintained an insurance policy from Cincinnati Insurance Company ("CIC") that provides director's and officer's ("D&O") liability coverage. The amount of D&O coverage under the Company's policy is capped at $5,000,000 per policy year, and the scope of coverage is limited by a number of endorsements appended to the D&O policy. The scope of coverage under the Company's D&O policy and, more specifically, whether the Company's D&O policy provides coverage for the acts alleged to have occurred in the pending class action complaints brought on behalf of the Company's shareholders, are now issues in an action brought by CIC against the Company. CIC filed its action on - 18 - 19 October 10, 1997. That action is captioned The Cincinnati Insurance Company v. Retirement Care Associates, Inc., Christopher Brogdon, Darrell C. Tucker, Julian S. Daley, Edward E. Lane, Harlan Mathews and Does 1 through 10, Case No. 1 97-CV-3102-CC (N.D. Ga.). CIC's action seeks: (i) a declaratory judgment that the SEC Exclusion Endorsement under the D&O policy issued by CIC to the Company does not provide coverage for losses incurred from the pending class actions; and, alternatively, (ii) rescission of the D&O policy issued by CIC to the Company based upon alleged material misrepresentations that the Company made at the time the policy was renewed. The parties have agreed to stay any answer and/or response by the defendants to CIC's complaint until after the consummation of the merger transaction contemplated in the fourth amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization by and among the Company, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun"), and Peach Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun ("Peach"), pursuant to which Peach will be merged with and into the Company (the "RCA Merger"). This stay has not yet been approved by the Court. On November 25, 1997, the Company, Sun and representatives of the plaintiffs to the Company's class action shareholder suits entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"). Pursuant to the MOU, Sun has agreed to pay $9 million into an interest-bearing escrow account maintained by Sun (the "Escrow Account") to settle the Actions (the "Settlement"). The Company also agreed to assign coverage under its directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, referred to below, for these specific claims to the plaintiffs. The Settlement is contingent upon the closing of the RCA Merger and confirmatory discovery and is subject to the execution of definitive documentation and Court approval. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Settlement, all claims by the class that were or could have been asserted by the plaintiffs against the Company or any of the other defendants in the Actions will be settled and released, and the Actions will be dismissed in their entirety with prejudice in exchange for the release of all funds from the Escrow Account to the plaintiffs. Court approval of the Settlement will not be sought unless and until the RCA Merger closes, and therefore, no assurance can be given that the Settlement will become final even if the RCA Merger is consummated. On April 28, 1998, the Court denied the plaintiffs, motion for immediate confirmatory discovery, but ruled instead that if the RCA Merger closes on or before June 30, 1998, confirmatory discovery must be produced within 30 days after the Company's Effective Time. There can be no assurance that additional actions will not be filed against the Company and its officers and directors. However, the Actions are styled as class actions, and should the RCA Merger close and the Settlement become final, any additional class actions would be precluded, although individual plaintiffs may opt out of the Settlement. There can be no assurance that the Actions will be settled and dismissed on the terms described herein or at all. In the event that the RCA Merger does not close, or if the Settlement is terminated for any reason, then the Company intends to vigorously defend the Actions, which may result in protracted litigation.
