ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company reorganized its capital structure and completed an initial public stock offering (the "Offering") which raised net proceeds of approximately $4.1 million. In connection with the Offering, the Company acquired two businesses in the healthcare field and later initiated plans to expand its nursing home operations with two additional facilities, which were acquired immediately after the close of the fiscal year.
The Company believes that the demand for long-term care and specialty medical services will increase substantially over the next decade due primarily to favorable demographic trends, advances in medical technology and emphasis on healthcare cost containment. At the same time, government restrictions and high construction and start-up costs are expected to limit the supply of long-term care facilities. In addition, the Company anticipates that recent trends toward industry consolidation will continue and will provide future acquisition opportunities.
The Company's operating strategy is to increase Facility profitability levels, through aggressive marketing and by offering rehabilitation therapies and other specialized services; adhere to strict cost standards at the Facility level while providing effective patient care and containing corporate overhead expenses; and become a fully integrated health network whereby the Company will market medical products and supplies, rehabilitative services, institutional pharmaceutical services and nursing services to affiliated and non-affiliated nursing homes and hospitals, as well as patients at home.
By concentrating its facilities and ancillary service operations within a selected geographic region, the Company's strategy is to achieve operating efficiencies through economies of scale, reduced corporate overhead, more effective management supervision and financial controls. In addition, the Company believes that geographic concentration also enhances the Company's ability to establish more effective relationships with referral sources and regulatory authorities in the states where the Company operates. The Company's strategy is to gradually expand services into additional states including Massachusetts and New Jersey.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 ("1997 PERIOD") VS. YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 ("1996 PERIOD")
The 1997 period results include the nursing facility operations for a full year. The Company has recorded a reduction in patient service revenue of $45,000 during the year ended June 30, 1997 in connection with estimated Medicare and Medicaid settlements. The results of operations of the acquired subsidiaries, BALZ and PRN, are included in operations since acquisition on May 15.
For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company had total revenues of $35,900,000 and total expenses of $36,241,000. These expenses consisted of salaries and benefits of $26,979,000, food, medical and other supplies of $2,689,000, other operating expenses (including rent of $2,497,000) of $5,113,000, corporate, general and administrative expenses of $1,282,000 and interest expense of $178,000. The Company had a net loss of $275,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Revenues in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $2,259,000 or 6.7%; $1,301,000 of this increase was a result of increased rates, mix changes and higher occupancy in the nursing facilities (net of $45,000 in revenue adjustments as a result of expected Medicare and Medicaid settlements), $699,000 is due to additional revenues from subsidiaries acquired, and $259,000 as a result of other revenue increases, principally third-party management fees.
Expenses in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $3,061,000 or 9.2%. $2,464,000 of this increase was a result of increased costs in the nursing facilities and $597,000 is due to additional costs from subsidiaries acquired. The major increase in nursing home costs were for higher salaries and benefits including additional nursing, dietary, and housekeeping staffing (as a result of higher occupancy and union and non-union wage increases of approximately 4%), higher therapy costs and occupancy-driven higher operating expenses in housekeeping, laundry, and nursing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 1995 ("COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS") TO JUNE 30, 1996
The Company had total revenues of $33,641,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The Company had total expenses of $33,180,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. These expenses consisted of salaries and benefits of $24,839,000, food, medical and other supplies of $2,065,000, other operating expenses (including rent of $2,468,000) of $4,896,000, corporate, general and administrative expenses of $1,126,000 and interest expense of $254,000. The Company had net income of $461,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996.
During this year, the Company began its operations of the nursing homes and incurred startup and financing costs which have been reduced in later periods. Revenues in the second six months of this year decreased as the Company experienced some vacancies due to construction of a subacute wing at the Fairfield Facility but implemented plans to improve patient mix and census. Expenses in the second six months increased by a total of $783,000 or 4.8% due to higher salaries and benefits ($319,000), higher legal, accounting and professional costs ($172,000), higher laundry and housekeeping costs to improve service ($238,000) and higher interest ($54,000).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has primarily financed its operations through operating revenues, borrowings from the prior operator of the Facilities and other private lenders including stockholders, by financing its accounts receivable, by a private placement of shares and warrants (subsequently rescinded), and through a public offering of its common stock (the "Offering") which raised net proceeds of approximately $4.1 million.
The net proceeds of the Offering were used to pay off remaining balances of previous borrowings, to fund the acquisition of PRN and, after providing for other business development plans, were added to the working capital of the Company. As a result of the acquisitions, internally-generated cash flow will increase from the addition of BALZ and PRN.
Between October 1995 and July 1996, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $286,000 from Jack Friedler and Harry Dermer. $104,000 of such loan was repaid to Mr. Friedler in August 1996. In May 1997 Mr. Friedler loaned $100,000 to the Company in connection with the reacquisition of shares from a private placement investor. Mr. Friedler's balance of $266,000 was then offset against loans due from Lexington House in May 1997. Mr. Friedler also instructed the Company to offset interest due him from the Company of $10,000 each during May and June 1997 against the Lexington House loan (which is discussed below). The Company is still indebted to Mr. Dermer for $16,000 as of June 30, 1997.
In July 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to manage the day-to-day business affairs of Lexington House, Inc., a nursing home with 67 licensed beds; Lexington House is owned by Jack Friedler and his wife. The Company made certain expenditures on behalf of Lexington House in anticipation that it would acquire Lexington House. Subsequently, the negotiations for the sale were terminated because the Company determined that such facility required too many capital improvements. At June 30, 1997, Lexington House, Inc. is indebted to the Company in the net amount of $290,000 after Mr. Friedler's balance due the Company and interest due to him from the Company were offset as discussed above. Lexington House has agreed to a payment schedule of $10,000 per month.
During the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company expended approximately $290,000 and $462,000, respectively, in capital improvements to the Facilities. Any capital improvements made to the Facilities belong to the landlord. However, any amounts expended for capital improvements are generally recouped in their entirety through the reimbursement system.
At June 30, 1997, on a consolidated basis, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,000,000, receivables of $6,819,000, inventories of $403,000 and prepaid and other current assets of $418,000. Overall, current assets increased by $2,611,000 during the year ended June 30, 1997. Current notes payable decreased by $2,250,000 since June 30, 1996; overall, current liabilities decreased by $57,000 from July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997.
Working capital at June 30, 1997 was $287,000 as compared with a working capital deficit of $(2,381,000) at June 30, 1996. Current assets consist mostly of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable which are not collateralized as of June 30, 1997. Current liabilities at June 30, 1997 consist principally of trade accounts payable, accrued payroll and related taxes, and other accrued expenses.
In August, 1997, the Company has obtained a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (at prime plus .50%) from a bank, which is secured by its accounts receivable and other assets. Through September 25, 1997 this line of credit has not been utilized.
Inflation has not had, nor is it expected to have, a material impact on the operations and financial condition of the Company.

In July 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to manage the day-to-day business affairs of Lexington House, Inc., a nursing home with 67 licensed beds. Lexington House is owned by Jack Friedler and his wife.
As of June 30, 1997, Lexington House, Inc. is indebted to the Company in the amount of $290,000. Lexington House has agreed to a payment schedule of $10,000 per month.
In connection with the Company's reorganization and the Offering, the previous members of Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, Jack Friedler, his wife Stephanie Friedler and Harry Dermer, exchanged their respective interests (37.5%, 37.5% and 25%) in the LLC for an aggregate of 2,462,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company entered into a ten-year lease, which was subsequently and retroactively amended, for four of the nursing homes operated by the Company. Jack Friedler, the Company's Chief Executive Officer is a 33.33% limited partner of the lessor, Fairfield Group Health Care Centers Limited Partnership ("Fairfield"). The Company's annual rent expense for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $2,468,000. The Company believes that the terms of the lease are as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from nonaffiliated parties.
The partners owning the remaining 66.66% interest in Fairfield were also owners of an aggregate of 50% of the capital stock of PRN which interest was purchased by the Company for a total of $1,080,000. Jack Friedler was the owner of 25% of PRN; in exchange for Mr. Friedler's interest in PRN, the Company issued Mr. Friedler 108,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $540,000, based on the public offering price. Suzanne J. Nettleton, Executive Vice President of the Company, was owner of the remaining 25% of the capital stock of PRN. The Company purchased Ms. Nettleton's interest for $540,000.
The Company acquired all of the capital stock of BALZ from its existing stockholders (including Jack Friedler, Harry Dermer and Mary Archambault) in exchange for an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (valued at $1,500,000 based on the public offering price). The following number of shares were issued to Officers and Directors of the Company in exchange for their shares of BALZ:
Jack Friedler 72,000 Harry Dermer 60,000 Mary Archambault 60,000
Between October 1995 and July 1996, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $286,000 from Jack Friedler and Harry Dermer which loans bear interest at an annual rate of 10%. A total of $104,000 was repaid to Mr. Friedler in August 1996. In May 1997 Mr. Friedler loaned another $100,000 to the Company in connection with the reacquisition of shares from a private placement investor. Mr. Friedler's balance of $266,000 was then offset against loans due from Lexington House in May 1997. Mr. Friedler also instructed the Company to offset interest due him from the Company of $10,000 each during May and June 1997 against the Lexington House loan. The Company is still indebted to Mr. Dermer for $16,000 as of June 30, 1997.
In March 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Physicians Choice, LLC ("PCL") whereby it agreed to provide skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to patients in the PCL network that reside at the Company's Facilities. PCL is a subsidiary of PhyMatrix, Inc. Eric D. Moskow, MD, a Director of the Company, is a director of PhyMatrix, Inc. No significant revenues have yet been generated as a result of this contract.
Jack Friedler and Harry Dermer entered into a stockholder's agreement, effective in May, 1997, which includes, among other things, the grant of a mutual right of first refusal to purchase any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other stockholder, and a mutual agreement to vote for the other stockholder as a Director of the Company.
With respect to each of the foregoing transactions, although the Company has not obtained any independent fairness opinions, the Company believes that the terms of such transactions were as fair to the Company as could be obtained from an unrelated third party. In the event the Company enters into negotiations to acquire any business or assets of a related party it will secure an independent appraisal. Future transactions with affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and will be approved by a majority of the independent and/or disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

To the Board of Directors of Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. New Britain, Connecticut
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 1996, before the adjustment described in Note B, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 18, 1996, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 1997 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We also audited the adjustment, to reflect the Company's reorganization described in Note B, that was applied to the 1996 consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustment is appropriate and has been properly applied.

LEXINGTON HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Balz Medical Services, Inc. ("BALZ"), Professional Relief Nurses, Inc. ("PRN"), LEV Rehab Services, Inc. ("LEV"), and Lexington Highgreen Holding, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a long-term and subacute care provider, which operates four nursing home facilities at June 30, 1997 with 628 beds licensed by the State of Connecticut. These facilities were previously operated by Beverly Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly"), through June 30, 1995. The Company also provides medical supplies and durable medical equipment to nursing homes and provides health care services in the homes of its patients. In addition, the Company manages two other nursing homes pursuant to management agreements (see Note K).
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
Revenues are recognized at the time the service is provided to the patient. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are billed to third party payors, i.e., Medicaid, Medicare and others under the provisions of reimbursement formulas and regulations in effect.
Patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from residents, third-party payors, and others for services rendered. Revenue received under cost reimbursement agreements is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by third-party payors. Provisions for estimated adjustments have been reflected in patient service revenue. Differences between estimated adjustments and final settlements are recorded in the year of settlement.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
MANAGEMENT FEES
The Company recognizes management fees as they are earned and accrues related fees payable to subcontractors as they are incurred.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had cash equivalents of $674,000 at June 30, 1997, consisting of overnight investments. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 1996.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consisting of food, chemicals and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining period of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.
RESIDENTS' FUNDS
Residents' funds represent cash balances which have been deposited into a separate bank account and are restricted for the use of the residents.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

LEXINGTON HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
Prior to the reorganization (see Note B), the Company was a limited liability company ("LLC") and, as such, it was the obligation of the individual members of the LLC to separately report their proportionate share of the LLC's taxable income. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 1996.
INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares deemed outstanding as adjusted for the exchange of shares between entities under common control. Weighted average number of shares outstanding includes common stock equivalents when they have a dilutive effect. There are no material differences between primary and fully diluted income per common share.
NOTE B - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS
Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. was incorporated in 1996. It completed an initial public offering of its common stock in May, 1997 during which 1,125,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share and 1,940,625 common stock warrants at $.10 per warrant were issued resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $4.1 million. Upon completion of this offering, the Company became the successor to Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, a limited liability company ("LLC"), and the members of LLC exchanged their membership interests in LLC for 2,462,000 shares of the Company's common stock representing a combined 59.7% ownership of the Company. LLC was formed on March 8, 1995 and commenced operations on July 1, 1995. The business combination was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, using LLC's historical cost basis. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the reorganization reflect the accounts and operations of LLC and adjustment has been made to give effect to the reorganization resulting in the restatement of certain stockholders' equity accounts.
The Company acquired in May 1997, simultaneously with the closing of the public offering, all of the common stock of BALZ and PRN. Prior to acquisition, the members of LLC owned 44% and 25% of BALZ and PRN, respectively.
The Company acquired all of the common stock of BALZ in exchange for 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company which were valued at $1,500,000 based on the offering price of the public offering.
Page
LEXINGTON HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE B - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
The purchase price of PRN consisted of $1,620,000 payable in cash and the exchange of 108,000 shares of common stock of the Company which were valued at $540,000 based on the offering price of the public offering. Furthermore, prior to the acquisition, PRN distributed 100% of its net book value to its former stockholders; this book value was approximately $392,000.
The acquisitions of BALZ and PRN have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was $3,295,000 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The amount of goodwill amortization was $20,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.
The purchase price was allocated as follows:
BALZ PRN ---- -----
Working capital, other than cash $516,000 $268,000 Property and equipment 80,000 71,000 Other assets - 38,000 Goodwill 1,135,000 2,160,000 Other liabilities (315,000) (479,000) --------- --------- Purchase price, net of cash received $1,416,000 $2,058,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
The operating results of these acquired entities have been included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition . On the basis of a pro forma consolidation of the results of operations as if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 1996, consolidated net revenues would have been $41.3 million for fiscal 1997 and $38.1 million for fiscal 1996. Consolidated pro forma net income would have been $241,000 and $658,000 in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively, and pro forma income per share would have been $.06 and $.19 for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations might have been had the acquisitions been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1996.

NOTE C - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, residents' funds, accounts receivable, estimated third-party payor settlements - Medicaid and note receivable-related party.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESIDENTS' FUNDS
The Company places its cash deposits with high credit-quality institutions and such deposits may, at times, exceed federal depository insurance limits. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in this area and management believes its cash deposits are not subject to significant credit risk.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, all of whom are residents of local communities in the State of Connecticut in which the Company's facilities are located, and most of whom are insured under third-party payor agreements. Management provides ongoing credit evaluations of its residents and has provided for potential credit losses through direct write-offs and such write-offs have been within management's expectations. Industry experience indicates that, after such direct write-offs have been made, potential credit losses are considered minimal, therefore only a negligible allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary by management.
The mix of receivables from patients, third-party payors and others as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 is as follows:
1997 1996 Medicare and Medicaid 80% 89% Private insurance and other nongovernment agencies 10 9 Other 10 2 --- ----- 100% 100%
ESTIMATED THIRD-PARTY PAYOR SETTLEMENTS - MEDICAID
This amount represents a government obligation, and as such, management believes it represents negligible credit risk.
NOTE RECEIVABLE-RELATED PARTY
This amount is controlled by an officer and director of the Company and, accordingly, management believes it represents negligible credit risk.

NOTE C - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which the determination of fair value is practicable. SFAS No. 107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
The following table sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments of the Company for which there is a difference between the amounts.
Financial liabilities: CARRYING FAIR VALUE VALUE ------ -------- Obligations under capital leases $95,000 $127,000
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the above financial instrument: OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES: The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows of lease obligations using the Company's current borrowing rate.
The carrying amounts of the Company's other financial instruments approximate their fair values as outlined below: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, RESIDENTS' FUNDS, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS AND ACCRUED EXPENSES PAYABLE: The carrying amounts approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments.
NOTES PAYABLE: The carrying amount approximates fair value because the interest rates on the notes approximate the Company's current borrowing rate.
Management has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the note receivable - related party due to the lack of marketability of this financial instrument.
The Company's financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.
Page
LEXINGTON HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE D - THIRD-PARTY REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTLEMENTS
The Company has recorded a reduction in patient service revenue of $45,000 during the year ended June 30, 1997 in connection with estimated Medicare/Medicaid settlements. Such amounts represent management's best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized and are based on anticipated results of ongoing negotiations, interpretation of applicable regulations and other assumptions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ materially in the near term.
NOTE E - EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements consist of the following:
June 30, June 30, 1997 1996 -------------------------
Equipment $529,000 $231,000 Leasehold improvements 407,000 263,000 -------- -------- 936,000 494,000 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 122,000 32,000 -------- -------- $814,000 $462,000 -------- -------- -------- --------
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $90,000 and $32,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
NOTE F - NOTE RECEIVABLE--RELATED PARTY
The note receivable is due from an entity in which an officer and director of the Company has a controlling ownership interest. The Company has been granted a security interest in real property to collateralize the note. The obligation arose out of services performed, advances and payment of certain expenses on behalf of this entity and bears interest at 8%, per annum. In May 1997, a balance of $266,000 due from the Company to the officer and director was offset against this note receivable and a payment plan of $10,000 per month was established. As a result, $120,000 of this note is classified as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has deposited with the related partnership, in connection with the nursing home facilities lease, a non-interest bearing security deposit of approximately $2.3 million as of June 30, 1997 and 1996. Such security deposit is comprised of a payment of approximately $1.3 million made by the Company on the related partnership's behalf and payments of $1 million representing excess rent which was paid to the related partnership prior to the retroactive reduction of periodic rent payments.
Deferred rent payable represents the excess of rent expense determined on a straight-line basis over amounts paid to date pursuant to the lease with the related partnership.

NOTE J - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
RESCISSION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT (CONTINUED)
In May 1997, at the request of NASDAQ as a condition for the approval of the Company's listing, the transaction was rescinded. The purchasers in the Private Placement were not otherwise obligated to sell back their securities to the Company, but nonetheless agreed to do so. The rescinding purchasers did not receive consideration for their agreement to rescind, other than as described herein. The Company purchased the above-noted shares and warrants for $250,000.
The Company has recorded the costs incurred in connection with the Private Placement as an issuance cost associated with the public offering, but has not reflected the issuance and repurchase of the 500,000 shares of common stock in the accompanying consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity since the transaction is deemed to have been undone'.
WARRANTS
In connection with the public offering, the Company has issued warrants to purchase 1,940,625 shares of Company's common stock at $6 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, which may be exercised at any time after May 14, 1998 through May 13, 2003. The warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at any time after May 14, 1998 at a price of $.05 per warrant provided that the closing price of the Company's common stock has equaled or exceeded $10 per share for a period of twenty consecutive trading days.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has reserved 450,000 shares of its common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options which may be granted pursuant to the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan. The Plan provides for grants to employees, consultants and directors of the Company. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has granted no stock options.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the individuals to whom the stock options are to be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, the exercise price, the type of option, the option period, the restrictions, if any, on the exercise of the option, the terms for the payment of the option price and other terms and conditions.

Certain of the entities included in the consolidated financial statements were separate taxpayers for tax purposes for the first ten months of the year. The income tax expense for all prior periods was recorded on an entity by entity basis as of May 14, 1997. Effective May 15, 1997, the entities became members of a consolidated group for tax purposes.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $459,000 at June 30, 1997 to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future years.
The significant components of the deferred tax provision for 1997 are as follows:
Bad debt reserve $ (80,000) Property and equipment (14,000) Organizational costs (24,000) Deferred rent (172,000) Accrued expenses (266,000) Valuation allowance 459,000 ---------- $ (97,000) ---------- ----------

LABOR CONCENTRATION/PENSION CONTRIBUTION
As of June 30, 1997, approximately 38% of the Company's employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements with New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1199/SEIU, AFL-CIO ("Union") which expire in October, 1998.
These employees participate in Union pension plans to which the Company contributes an amount stipulated in each collective bargaining agreement. For the year ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, contributions were approximately $572,000 and $397,000, respectively.
PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
Approximately 86% and 89% of net patient service revenue was derived under federal and state third-party reimbursement programs in 1997 and 1996, respectively. These revenues are based, in part, on cost reimbursement principles and are subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by the respective third-party fiscal intermediaries. The general trend in the nursing home industry is lower private pay utilization due to liberal asset transfer rules and the degree of financial planning that takes place by the general public. The Company's ability to maintain the current level of private pay utilization and thereby reduce reliance on third-party reimbursement is uncertain due to the economic and regulatory environment in which all Connecticut nursing homes operate.
MALPRACTICE INSURANCE
The Company maintains malpractice insurance coverage on an occurrence basis. It is the intention of the Company to maintain such coverage on the occurrence basis in ensuing years. As of June 30, 1997, no known malpractice claims have been asserted against the Company which, either individually or in the aggregate, are in excess of insurance coverage.

CONTINGENCIES
