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

  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

   Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including information set forth under
the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations", constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such statements include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Centennial
HealthCare Corporation and members of its management team.  Management cautions
that a variety of factors could cause Centennial HealthCare's actual results to
differ materially from the anticipated results expressed in such Forward-Looking
Statements.  Important factors currently known to management that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in Forward-Looking Statements are
set forth in Centennial HealthCare's cautionary statements regarding Forward-
Looking Statements (Exhibit 99.1 to this report), which statements are
incorporated herein by reference.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Centennial's revenues and earnings for the three-month period ended March 31,
1998 as compared to the same period for 1997 continued to grow from both
expansion and increases in current operations and as a result of acquisitions.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES.  Net patient service revenues increased from $62.4
million in the first quarter of 1997 to $83.4 million in the same period in
1998, an increase of $21.0 million or 33.7%. Total revenues associated with
Total Care Consolidated, Inc., ("TCC"), which the Company acquired in May 1997,
approximated $6.7 million during the first quarter of 1998.  In August 1997, the
Company acquired substantially all of the business and assets of Complex Care,
Inc. ("CCI"), a provider of physical, occupational and speech therapy services
through approximately 45 contracts with long-term care facilities.  Total
revenues associated with the CCI contracts approximated $4.2 million in the
first quarter of 1998.  In March and June 1997, the Company began operating two
rural hospitals (the "Hospitals"), located in northern Florida. For the first
quarter of 1998, revenues associated with the Hospitals approximated $2.7
million.  In December 1997, Centennial acquired a 58-bed skilled nursing
facility in Florida, (the "Florida Facility"), which had previously been managed
by the Company since June 1991. Total revenues associated with the Florida
Facility approximated $883,000 in the first quarter of 1998. The remaining
increase of $6.5 million was attributable to growth in existing facility
revenues and therapy contract revenues. The increase in existing facility
revenues during 1997 of approximately $4.3 million resulted primarily from an
increase in the quality revenue mix of the facilities due to increasing
admissions of higher acuity 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
patients and from the increase in the delivery of specialty services. The
Company also experienced general rate increases at its nursing facilities which
increased patient service revenues in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the
same period in 1997. The increase in revenues at the Company's subsidiary
providing therapy services of approximately $2.2 million resulted from the net
addition of 17 rehabilitation therapy services contracts.

MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER REVENUES.  Management fees and other revenues
increased from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $3.7 million in the
first quarter of 1998, an increase of $1.8 million, or 98.2%, which was
attributable primarily to the addition of facility management agreements
subsequent to the first quarter of 1997 and revenue for the performance of
additional services to existing managed facilities.

FACILITY OPERATING EXPENSES.  Facility operating expenses increased from $49.7
million in the first quarter of 1997 to $66.3 million in the same period in
1998, an increase of $16.6 million or 33.4%, of which TCC and the CCI therapy
contracts added approximately $6.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in
the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.  The Hospitals
and the Florida Facility added $2.2 million and approximately $665,000 to
operating expenses, respectively, during the first quarter of 1998 compared to
1997. The Company's expenses from existing contract therapy services increased
$1.4 million in the first quarter of 1998 over the prior year period due
primarily to growth in therapy contracts. The remaining $2.8 million was
attributable primarily to an increase in costs at existing long-term care
facilities and to providing care for higher acuity patients in the first quarter
of 1998 as compared to the prior year period.

LEASE EXPENSE.  Lease expense increased from $5.1 million in 1997 to $5.4
million in 1998, an increase of approximately $326,000, or 6.4%.  The Hospitals
added approximately $90,000 in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first
quarter of 1997.  The remaining increase of approximately $236,000 was due
primarily to rent escalations in certain facility leases, which are tied to
increases in operating revenue and income.

CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.  Corporate administrative costs increased from
$3.4 million in 1997 to $4.9 million in 1998, an increase of $1.5 million, or
46.8%, which was due primarily to additional overhead incurred to accommodate
the expansion in therapy services contracts, including the acquisition of the
CCI contracts, the addition of long-term care facility management agreements,
and the acquisition of TCC and the Hospitals.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased from
$1.5 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $2.3 million in the same period in
1998, an increase of approximately $762,000, or 50.1%, which was primarily
attributable to acquisitions and additional depreciation expense incurred as a
result of fixed asset purchases.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased from $2.6 million in 1997 to $1.9
million in 1998, a decrease of approximately $716,000, or 27.2%, which was
primarily attributable to the repayment of $25.3 million of subordinated debt in
the third quarter of 1997, repayment of $35.1 million outstanding under the
Company's Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility with CoreStates Bank, N.A.
and NationsBank, N.A. as agents and lenders and the other lenders named therein
(the "Senior Credit Facility") in the third and fourth quarters of 1997, as a
result of the completion of the Company's initial public offering, (which
occurred in July 1997), and the increase in debt of approximately $44.0 million
related to borrowings for acquisitions and working capital.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Company's effective tax rate increased from
37.7% in the first quarter of 1997 to 39.0% in the first quarter of 1998, an
increase in the rate of 1.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to an
anticipated increase in the Company's average state tax rate and a proportional
increase in non-deductible expenses for federal tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal source of cash during the first quarter of 1998 was
borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility.  Cash was used by the Company for
capital improvements at several existing facilities, working capital advances
under arrangements with certain of the Company's managed facilities and the day-
to-day operations of the Company's business. The Company anticipates using
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility to fund the growth in operations of
its existing facilities, the expansion and development of specialty services,
and the acquisition or management of additional long-term care facilities and
related service providers.

Working capital increased from $45.6 million at December 31, 1997, to $64.2
million at March 31, 1998 primarily attributable to increases in patient
accounts receivable, working capital advances under arrangements with certain of
the Company's managed facilities, and annual deposits for the Company's 1998
insurance contracts.  Patient accounts receivable increased from $72.2 million
at December 31, 1997 to $79.4 million at March 31, 1998, an increase of $7.2
million.  Of this increase, approximately $3.5 million was due primarily to
increases in Medicare reimbursement rates at many of the Company's long-term
care facilities associated with the Company's continued expansion of specialty
services.  Costs incurred under the Medicare program are reimbursed on a
retroactive basis, which extends the collection time of these receivables. In
addition, during the first quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a general
slow-down in payments from Medicare and several Medicaid payors resulting from
Medicare's expanded review of long-term care billing practices, delays in the
processing of non-resident eligibility documentation in the District of Columbia
and increases in payment turnover from previous levels at the Company's
facilities in Michigan.  These factors resulted in an increase of approximately
$3.0 million in patient accounts receivable during the first quarter of 1998.
The balance of approximately $700,000 relates to general increases at the
facilities.  Working capital advances under arrangements with certain of the
Company's managed facilities increased by approximately $6.1 million, and annual
deposits related to the Company's insurance contracts increased by approximately
$1.7 million in the first quarter of 1998.

The Company continued to invest in its leased and owned facilities through
capital expenditures of approximately $2.6 million or approximately $439 per bed
for the three-month period.  These expenditures included the expansion of
existing facilities and the selected renovation of certain facilities.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company borrowed $15.2 million in working
capital loans under the Senior Credit Facility which were utilized primarily to
finance capital expenditures at existing facilities and to provide working
capital. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $56.5 million outstanding and
approximately $61.5 million available under its Senior Credit Facility, net of
issued standby letters of credit of approximately $7.0 million.

The Company believes that operating cash flow and availability under the Senior
Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance its activities and to fund future
acquisitions.

HEALTH CARE REFORM

The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, (the "Act"), enacted in August 1997, has
targeted the Medicare program for reductions in spending growth of approximately
$9.5 billion for skilled nursing facilities over the next five years, primarily
through the implementation of a Medicare prospective payment system for skilled
services. The Medicare prospective payment rate, which reimburses for routine
service, ancillary and capital costs, will initially be a blended rate based on
(i) a facility-specific payment rate derived from each facility's 1995 cost
report, adjusted by an inflation factor and (ii) a federal per diem rate derived
from all hospital-based and freestanding (skilled nursing facility) 1995 costs
reports, adjusted to remove geographic, wage-related, inflationary and case mix
differences between facilities. The blended rate will be further adjusted by a
facility-specific case mix (acuity) index. The exact amount of these adjustments
has not yet been released by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human
Services.

Management believes that, due to the cost structure at its facilities in 1995
and its costs as compared to other facilities in its markets, the Company's
overall reimbursement rates should not be lower than current rates and could
possibly be higher.  However, until the rates are ultimately determined under
the prospective payment system, the Company will not be able to determine the
exact nature or long term financial impact of the legislative changes.  The
Company can give no assurance that payments under such programs in the future
will remain at a level comparable to the present level or increase, and
decreases in the level of payments could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company derived 20% of its
revenues from Medicare at its long-term care facilities.

The Act has also targeted the Medicare home health program for reductions in
spending of approximately $16.2 billion over the next five years, also primarily
through the implementation of a prospective payment system.  An interim payment
system ("IPS") will remain in effect until the new prospective payment system is
implemented for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1999.
The interim payment system is effective for cost reporting periods beginning on
or after October 1, 1997.  The Act requires home health agencies to be
reimbursed through IPS at the lesser of:

 .  Actual costs
 .  Per visit cost limits reduced to 105% of the median per visit costs for
   freestanding home health agencies; or
 .  A new blended agency-specific per beneficiary annual limit applied to the
   agency's unduplicated census count of Medicare patients and based on 98% of
   fiscal year 1994 reasonable costs.

Implementation of these new limits could effectively reduce reimbursement 15-20%
according to industry experts.  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company
derived 8% of its revenues from home health care.

Effective April 10, 1998, regulations were adopted by Health Care Financing
Administration which temporarily change the basis of reimbursement for contract
therapy services, including physical therapy, respiratory therapy, occupational
therapy and speech language pathology. These regulations impose regionally-
adjusted salary equivalency rates as reimbursement caps for occupational, speech
and physical therapy.  In most locations the reduced rates have the effect of

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
reducing the amount of reimbursement for a unit of occupational or speech
therapy and increasing the amount of reimbursement for a unit of physical
therapy.  The Company believes that such rate reductions will be completely or
partially offset by cost reductions, changes in the method of delivering such
services and the addition of new therapy contracts.  This salary equivalency 
rate methodology for reimbursement effectively phases out with the 
implementation of the prospective payment system for skilled nursing facilities 
as summarized above. Due to these changes in operations and cost structure and
the relative size of the Company's therapy business, the Company does not expect
these reimbursement changes to have a material long-term adverse effect on the
Company. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company derived 14% of its
revenues contract therapy services.

          proceedings that separately or in the aggregate would be likely to
          have a material adverse effect on the business or results of
          operations of the Company.  The Company is, and may be in the future,
          party to litigation or administrative proceedings which arise in the
          normal course of its business.
