Item 1.  BUSINESS.

     Certain statements in this Form 10-K under the captions "Business" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and in certain documents incorporated by reference herein constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").  Those statements include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Centennial
HealthCare Corporation and members of its management team.  Management cautions
that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by 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
the Safe Harbor Compliance Statement included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-K,
and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.  Centennial HealthCare
Corporation undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking
statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated
events or changes to future operating results over time.

  Centennial HealthCare Corporation ("Centennial" or the "Company") provides a
broad range of long-term healthcare services to meet the medical needs of
elderly and post-acute patients. The Company provides these services through
geographically concentrated networks located in metropolitan and secondary
markets throughout the United States. The Company was organized in 1989 as a
Georgia corporation and conducts business through its operating subsidiaries. At
December 31, 1997, Centennial operated 84 owned, leased and managed skilled
nursing facilities with 8,850 licensed available beds in 19 states, with its
largest concentration of facilities in North Carolina, Indiana and Michigan. The
Company provides basic and specialty healthcare services. Basic services include
skilled nursing and support, housekeeping, laundry, dietary, recreational and
social services. Specialty services include comprehensive rehabilitation
therapy, respiratory therapy, ventilator care, infusion therapy, wound care,
home health care and other subacute and specialty services. As components of its
specialty services, at December 31, 1997, Centennial provided rehabilitation
therapy services on a contract basis to third-party owned and Company-operated
skilled nursing facilities in 21 states pursuant to 128 contracts and provided
home health care services through 30 offices, primarily located in North
Carolina. References to the Company or Centennial also include the Company's
subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

COMPANY STRATEGY

  Centennial's objective is to continue to enhance its market position as a
provider of long-term basic and specialty services in selected metropolitan and
secondary markets. The Company seeks to control significant components of the
non-acute health care system in its markets, thereby diversifying its sources of
revenue and positioning itself to respond to the requirements of a variety of
payors. In addition, the Company seeks to increase the range of services it
provides within its facilities and tailors its health care services to address
the specific needs within each of its markets.  To meet its objective, the
Company is pursuing the following strategies: (i) achieve operating leverage
through the continued development of regionally concentrated networks; (ii)
implement market-specific business and network development plans in response to
the diverse needs of the Company's metropolitan and secondary markets; (iii)
continue to expand specialty services to enhance the Company's position as a
broad-based provider of health care services; (iv) manage operations through
sophisticated information systems that enhance efficiency; and (v) pursue
strategic acquisitions of additional long-term care facilities and related
service providers.

  Over the last several years, the Company has grown its operating
base both through acquisitions and internal growth. Total revenues were
$75.2 million, $233.0 million and $304.3 million for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Operating income was $3.2
million, $14.5 million, and $25.5 million for the fiscal years ended December
31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Licensed available beds increased from
4,302 to 8,850 during the same period. The Company's revenue quality mix
(Medicare, private pay, management fees and other) improved from 41.9% for the
<PAGE>

fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 to 63.4% for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997, and the Company's revenues from specialty services increased from
14.4% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 to 42.1% for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1997, reflecting the Company's focus on providing specialty
services to higher acuity patients.

COMPANY GROWTH

  As part of its growth strategy, the Company regularly reviews possible
acquisitions within the long-term care continuum. Effective December 31, 1995,
the Company completed an important strategic acquisition by merging with
Transitional Health Services, Inc. ("THS") which operated 36 skilled nursing
facilities with 3,776 beds in Arkansas, North Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky and
Michigan and a contract rehabilitation therapy business (the "THS Merger").
Since the THS Merger, through December 31, 1997 the Company continued to expand
its operations through the acquisition of a company providing home health care
services, the acquisition of a contract rehabilitation therapy company providing
therapy services to affiliated and third-party skilled nursing facilities, the
acquisition of three skilled nursing facilities previously managed by the
Company, and the lease of two rural acute-care hospitals which are located in
markets where the Company operates skilled nursing centers. Additionally, the
Company added a net 13 management agreements for skilled nursing facilities
totaling 1,812 licensed available beds in 3 states.

1997 ACQUISITIONS AND LEASE TRANSACTIONS

  Effective May 1, 1997, the Company acquired by merger Total Care Consolidated,
Inc., a provider of home health care services with 25 home health offices
located in North Carolina, where the Company operated 23 facilities as of
December 31, 1997, as well as South Carolina and Louisiana.

  In August 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the business and
assets of Complex Care, Inc., a provider of physical, occupational, and speech
therapy services through approximately 45 contracts with third-party long-term
care facilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island.  Combined with the Company's
existing contract rehabilitation therapy business, at December 31, 1997 the
Company provided rehabilitation services pursuant to 128 contracts in 21 states,
to Company-operated and third-party-owned facilities.

  In March 1997, the Company assumed the management of a 29-bed rural, acute-
care hospital in northern Florida where the Company currently operates a nursing
home facility and another rural hospital. Following the receipt of necessary
consents and approvals, the management of this facility was converted into a
lease of the facility retroactive to the date of the original management
agreement.

  In December 1997, the Company acquired a 58-bed long-term care facility in
Florida that had been managed by the Company since 1991.

  As a result of the acquisitions referenced above, Centennial has increased its
range of services in markets in which the Company already has a strong operating
presence.

1997 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

  The Company's growth strategy also includes the management of long-term care
facilities for third-party owners.  Most management agreements provide for a
management fee equal to 6% of the facility's gross revenues with terms ranging
from 5 to 20 years, with renewal options. Additionally, the Company generally
has a right of first refusal or option to purchase its managed facilities. This
strategy allows the Company to evaluate the operations of potential acquisition
candidate facilities prior to acquisition. During 1997, the Company added 9
managed skilled nursing facilities to its portfolio, totaling 924 licensed
available beds.

THE LONG-TERM CARE INDUSTRY

  The long-term care industry provides a broad range of services to post-acute
patients and patients with medically complex and special needs who do not

                                       2
<PAGE>

require treatment in an acute care hospital setting. Long-term care facilities
offer basic services, which include skilled nursing and support, housekeeping,
laundry, dietary, recreational and social services. In addition, long-term care
facilities may provide a broad range of specialty services such as comprehensive
rehabilitation therapy (including physical, occupational and speech therapy),
respiratory therapy, ventilator care, infusion therapy, wound care, home
health care, tracheostomy care, pharmaceutical services, Alzheimer's care and
other specialty services. Long-term care facilities are increasingly becoming an
integral part of community-based, vertically-integrated, extended care delivery
systems that are capable of providing a full range of traditional basic and
specialty services.

  In recent years, long-term care services have experienced significant growth.
According to industry sources, revenues in the long-term care industry have
increased from approximately $18 billion in 1980 to approximately $80 billion in
1995. Continuing growth of the industry has been driven by a number of factors,
including: (i) aging of the population; (ii) cost-containment pressures that are
driving post-acute patients from acute care hospitals to lower-cost settings
such as long-term care facilities; (iii) advances in medical technology enabling
sophisticated long-term care providers to care for higher-acuity patients; and
(iv) demand for post-acute and specialty services in secondary markets.

  AGING POPULATION.  According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, approximately
90% of all patients in long-term care facilities are persons over 65 years of
age, and this age group has been growing significantly faster than the overall
population. The over 65 age group experiences a greater incidence of chronic
illness and disabilities than other age groups and currently accounts for more
than two-thirds of total health care expenditures in the United States. As the
number of Americans over age 65 increases, the need for long-term care services
is also expected to increase. The U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates that the
U.S. population over age 65 will increase from approximately 31 million in 1990
to approximately 35 million in 2000. In particular, the segment of the U.S.
population over 85 years of age, which comprises 45% to 53% of residents at
long-term care facilities nationwide, is projected to increase by more than 33%,
from approximately 3 million in 1990, to more than 4 million in 2000.

  COST-CONTAINMENT PRESSURES.  In response to rising costs, government and
private pay sources have implemented cost-containment measures designed to
reduce lengths of stay in acute care hospitals. As a result, the average length
of hospital stays has been decreased, thereby increasing the number of patients
discharged from acute care hospital settings who require continuing medical
care. Long-term care facilities represent an attractive alternative setting for
these discharged patients because many of the post-acute services required by
patients can be provided on a cost-effective basis by clinically sophisticated
long-term care providers.

  ADVANCES IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY.  The increasing availability of advanced
medical technology has increased life expectancies and enhanced the ability of
long-term providers to offer, on a cost-effective basis, quality services
previously provided only by acute care hospitals. As a result, a growing number
of higher-acuity patients with specialized needs can be treated in long-term
care settings.

  DEMAND FOR POST-ACUTE AND SPECIALTY SERVICES IN SECONDARY MARKETS.  A major
challenge for persons requiring medical care in secondary markets is the
distance that often exists between a patient's home and regional centers that
offer primary care, rehabilitation therapy and other specialty services.
Individuals residing in secondary markets in need of services are often left
with the choice of temporarily or permanently relocating, spending extended
periods of time away from their families or commuting significant distances. As
a result, the provision of post-acute and specialty services in secondary
markets represents a significant opportunity for the long-term care industry to
grow and enhance profitability.

INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION

  The long-term care industry is undergoing consolidation as providers seek to
build market share and compete more effectively. Current ownership of long-term
care facilities is highly fragmented, with approximately 70% of all facilities

                                       3
<PAGE>

owned by independent providers or companies operating less than 20 facilities.
The increased burdens of various cost-containment measures, increasing acuity of
long-term care patients and increasing complexity of government regulation pose
significant challenges to long-term care providers that lack sophisticated
information systems, breadth of management experience and economies-of-scale.
In addition, there is a limited supply of long-term care facilities due to the
following factors: (i) state Certificate of Need ("CON") legislation, which
restricts the number of facilities that can be constructed within a market; (ii)
high construction costs; (iii) limitations on government reimbursement for the
full cost of construction; and (iv) extensive start-up expenses. As a result of
these factors, providers that have a strong reputation within the community for
providing high quality service have become attractive acquisition targets for
providers seeking to reach critical mass.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

  Centennial's objective is to continue to enhance its position as a quality
provider of basic and specialty services in both metropolitan and secondary
markets within its established regions. To achieve this objective, the Company
will focus on the following strategies:

  EXPAND NATIONALLY THROUGH REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT.  The Company's
expansion efforts to date have been structured to integrate additional
facilities and services within eleven regions. By focusing on regional
development, the Company is well-positioned to manage facility operations,
allocate managerial and administrative costs over a larger revenue base,
capitalize on its reputation in existing markets, provide more effective
training of facility personnel and closely monitor the implementation of
facility specific operating plans. The Company's regional structure should
allow it to build the critical mass necessary to create networks for providing
specialty services on a direct basis and successfully contract with managed care
and other third-party payors.

  IMPLEMENT MARKET-SPECIFIC BUSINESS AND NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLANS. In its
metropolitan markets, the Company generally focuses on providing a specific
range of services and enhances market share by integrating its operations with
those of recognized delivery networks and other providers. In secondary markets,
the Company's goal is to play a leading role in local delivery of health care by
providing a broader range of services. The Company seeks, in certain secondary
markets, to provide many significant components of care within integrated health
care networks and to manage the flow of patients to the most appropriate, cost-
effective site of care.

  CONTINUE TO EXPAND SPECIALTY SERVICES.  The Company provides a broad range of
specialty services at certain of its facilities and continues to expand its
program of outpatient and home health care services. In addition, the Company
intends to emphasize growth and expansion of its third party physical,
occupational and speech therapy services to allow the Company's facilities to
serve as full-service providers of specialty services to patients in its
markets.

  ENHANCE OPERATIONS THROUGH THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. The Company has
expended significant resources in the development of management information
systems and has placed a high priority on developing systems to assess patient
care, track financial and operational controls, analyze labor utilization and
monitor reimbursement. In addition, the Company's information technology enables
it to integrate acquired facilities or operations on a timely and cost-effective
basis with minimal disruption to operations and positions the Company to
efficiently operate in a managed care environment.

  PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS.  The Company targets for acquisition
facilities, operating companies and related businesses that have the capacity to
be leading providers of health care services to higher-acuity patients in their
respective markets and that represent opportunities for the Company to realize
additional operating leverage through regional operating efficiencies. In
addition to outright purchases, the Company enters into lease or management
agreements with certain facilities which generally include a right of first

                                       4
<PAGE>

refusal or option to purchase the facilities. In addition to facility
acquisitions, the Company seeks to expand the rehabilitation therapy services,
pharmacy and home health care segments of its operations through the purchase of
businesses offering such specialty services.

PATIENT SERVICES

  The Company provides basic and specialty health care services as described
below.

BASIC SERVICES

Basic services are those traditionally provided to elderly patients in long-term
care facilities, including skilled nursing and support, housekeeping, laundry,
dietary, recreational and social services. The Company provides 24-hour skilled
nursing care by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified
nursing aides in all of its facilities. Each facility is managed by a licensed
administrator who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the facility.
Although treatment of patients is the responsibility of their own attending
physicians, who are not employed by the Company, each facility engages a
physician medical director who monitors the delivery of care. In addition, each
facility offers a number of individualized therapeutic activities designed to
enhance the quality of life of its patients. These activities include
entertainment events, musical productions, trips, arts and crafts, volunteer and
other programs that encourage social interaction among patients as well as
community involvement.

SPECIALTY SERVICES

  Specialty services are those provided to patients with medically complex
needs, who generally require more complex treatment and a higher level of
skilled nursing care. These services typically generate higher revenues per
patient day than basic services as a result of the higher costs associated with
treating a higher-acuity patient. Set forth below are descriptions of the
specialty services offered by the Company.

  REHABILITATION THERAPY.  The Company provides a broad range of rehabilitation
therapy services to its facilities and other third-party providers. These
services include physical, occupational and speech therapy in the long-term care
facility setting. As of December 31, 1997 the Company had contracted to provide
rehabilitation therapy services to patients in 128 facilities, 21 of which are
owned or leased by the Company.

  SUBACUTE CARE. The Company's subacute care program has distinct units within
certain of its long-term care facilities that are dedicated to the care of
medically complex patients who do not require the services of an acute care
hospital. Subacute services provided or arranged by the Company's facilities
include, but are not limited to, ventilator care, respiratory care, traumatic
injury recuperation, post-cardiac rehabilitation, IV therapy, wound care, post-
stroke care, hospice care, post-surgical orthopedic rehabilitation and
peritoneal dialysis services.

  HOME HEALTH CARE.  At December 31, 1997, Centennial operated 30 home health
care offices, affording the recipients of such care an alternative to a hospital
or long-term care facility setting. Such services delivered into the home
setting include skilled nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy and
subacute care. In addition, personal care services are available from home
health care aides who assist patients with their activities of daily living.
Centennial provides home health care primarily in markets where it has long-term
care facilities.

OPERATIONS

  GENERAL.  The Company's facilities are organized into eleven operating regions
and the Company's organizational structure and operations support staff provide
its facilities with the resources needed to operate effectively in these
regions. Each region has a nurse consultant with responsibility for providing
guidance on patient care issues, conducting quality assurance audits, training

                                       5
<PAGE>

in clinical software and assuring compliance with applicable state and federal
regulations. The Company provides additional operational support through a
corporate team of professionals in financial accounting, reimbursement, managed
care pricing, quality assurance, human resources, regulatory compliance,
marketing, health systems development and other areas.

For all of its facilities, the Company actively manages personnel costs, which
represent the largest expense incurred in the operation of a long-term care
facility. The Company emphasizes attracting and retaining quality personnel,
including administrators and skilled nursing staff, through a number of programs
which include on-going training and education classes, employee recognition
programs, and competitive wages and benefits. In addition, the Company has an
incentive program for administrators based on the achievement of certain Company
goals related to quality of care and financial performance.

  QUALITY ASSURANCE AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.  The Company has developed a
comprehensive quality assurance program that is designed to monitor, evaluate
and improve the delivery of patient care. This program is supervised by a
registered nurse, who serves as the Company's director of professional services.
Pursuant to its quality control system, the Company routinely collects
information from patients, family members, employees and state survey agencies
that is then compiled, analyzed and distributed throughout the Company in order
to monitor the quality of care and services provided and the satisfaction of the
residents and their families with such services.

  MARKETING.  The Company's in-house marketing department works directly with
its facilities in their efforts to market services in their respective
communities. The emphasis of the Company's marketing department is to assist
each facility in achieving a desired quality mix of revenues through increased
Medicare, private and managed care census. The Company works with each facility
to establish monthly, quarterly and annual census and payor mix goals and each
facility is responsible for an on-going marketing plan.

  The Company focuses on securing relationships with managed care organizations
and insurance carriers in the markets served by its facilities. At present, many
of the Company's facilities have contractual relationships with such
organizations.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

  The Company develops, implements and maintains a comprehensive system of
management and financial controls which is designed to enable the Company to
closely monitor operating costs and quickly distribute financial and other
operational information to appropriate levels of management. Each facility
utilizes PC-based, networked computer systems for processing operating data on a
"real-time" basis as well as financial and patient care data. The Company has
established an internal network linking its facilities, operating subsidiaries,
regional managers and nurse consultants with its corporate computer network.

  The Company utilizes commercially available as well as internally developed
software in its information systems. The Company has established on-line
electronic billing with Medicare as well as with several state Medicaid
programs and produces interim cost reports for Medicare and certain state
Medicaid programs. In addition, at each facility, the system generates computer-
assisted medical records that allow for the creation of individualized care
plans, physician orders and administrative and observation records.

  The Company's information systems are easily adaptable to newly acquired
facilities and related companies to enable management to impact each facility's
financial and operating performance within a short period of time.

ACQUISITIONS

  The Company maintains an active acquisition program in order to increase its
penetration of existing regions and to capitalize on the consolidation trends in
the long-term care industry. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions on the
basis of existing profitability, long-term profit potential, specialty services
opportunities, facility location, payor mix and patient census. Specifically,
the Company targets facilities that have the capacity to be leading providers of
higher-acuity services in their respective markets and that represent
opportunities for the Company to realize additional operating leverage through
regional economies of scale and provide more profitable specialty services. In

                                       6
<PAGE>

addition, the Company enters into lease or management agreements with certain
facilities that generally include a right of first refusal. In many cases these
lease or management arrangements present acquisition opportunities. As evidence
of its ability to acquire previously managed facilities, the Company currently
leases or owns 18 facilities that it previously managed.

FACILITIES

  At December 31, 1997, Centennial operated 84 owned, leased and managed skilled
nursing facilities with 8,850 beds in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Of
this number, Centennial owned nine facilities with 897 beds, leased 46
facilities with 4,452 beds and managed 29 facilities with 3,501 beds. Since
December 31, 1997, the Company has added six managed skilled nursing facilities
with 837 beds in the state of North Carolina. At December 31, 1997, the
Company's facilities had an average of 105 beds and an average occupancy rate of
90.7%.

  The following table lists the Company's owned, leased and managed facilities
by location, including the number of licensed available beds and the occupancy
rate as of December 31, 1997:

(1) Occupancy is computed by dividing actual patient day census by actual
patient days available in licensed available operating beds.  Does not include
facilities in the start-up phase during 1997, which include The Oaks at Sweeten
Creek (North Carolina); Lafayette Healthcare Center (Florida); Blountstown
Health & Rehabilitation Center (Florida); Crystal Oaks of Pinellas (Florida) and
Mountain Ridge Wellness Center (North Carolina).
(2) Facility management contract terminated as of December 31, 1997.

  LEASED FACILITIES. At December 31, 1997, the Company leased 46 skilled nursing
facilities pursuant to long-term leases with various lessors. The Company's
lease arrangements are "triple net" leases, requiring the Company, at its own
expense, to maintain the premises and pay taxes, utilities and insurance. In
most cases, the leases are subordinate to certain security interests in the
facilities granted by the lessors to third-party lenders. Centennial has a right
of first refusal to purchase most of the leased facilities.

                                       7
<PAGE>

  These leases generally have initial terms of ten to 20 years with options to
extend, and lease rates with annual increases tied to fixed schedules, the
Consumer Price Index, or changes in the prime rate.

MANAGED FACILITIES

  At December 31, 1997, the Company operated 29 facilities under long-term
management contracts with third parties. Revenues from management contracts
accounted for approximately 2.6% of the Company's total revenues for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997. Pursuant to these management contracts, the
Company performs day-to-day management functions and provides certain corporate
services, including group contract purchasing, employee training and
development, quality assurance audits, human resource management, assistance in
obtaining third-party reimbursement, financial and accounting functions, policy
development, system design and development, and marketing support. The Company's
information system monitors certain key data for each managed facility, such as
payroll, admissions and discharges, cash collections, net patient service
revenues, staff trend analysis, and measurement of operational data on a per
patient day basis. These management agreements typically have initial terms
ranging from five to 20 years and that can be terminated only for cause. Each
such management agreement provides for monthly fees generally at six percent of
gross revenues. Certain of the agreements provide for the subordination of the
management fees to the payment of the owner's debt service. The Company has a
right of first refusal to acquire certain of these managed facilities.

  During 1997, five third-party owned facilities for which the Company provided
management services were sold.  The Company terminated management agreements on
two of the sold facilities and obtained new management agreements on the other
three from the new owners.

  CONTRACT REHABILITATION SERVICES. At December 31, 1997, Centennial provided
contract rehabilitation services under 128 contracts in facilities in 21 states.
Twenty-one of the agreements are with the Company's owned or leased facilities.
Most of these agreements have initial terms of five years with automatic renewal
provisions for five successive additional terms of five years each, unless
terminated earlier upon 90 days prior notice, and are subject to termination
without cause upon 60 days prior written notice. Pursuant to these agreements,
the Company provides comprehensive rehabilitation services, including physical,
occupational and speech therapy. In addition, the Company provides
administrative services including policy formulation, licensure compliance,
training, staffing, quality control, financial report preparation and patient
census preparation. Therapy services, except for physical therapy services, are
billed per unit of therapy service provided at rates set forth in the therapy
service agreement. Physical therapy services are billed at the Medicare
published salary equivalency rate. Non-therapy services are either billed per
unit of service provided or at a flat monthly rate set forth in the individual
therapy service agreement.

COMPETITION

  The Company expects that it will face increasing levels of competition with
respect to its operations and the services it provides. The Company competes for
patients with other long-term care facilities and, to a lesser extent, with
acute care hospitals, physician practice groups, home health care providers,
community-based service programs, retirement communities and assisted living
centers. In addition, competition may grow from new market entrants, including
companies focusing primarily on specific components of the Company's various
services. Certain competing companies have greater financial and other resources
and may be more established in their respective communities than the Company.
Competition for subacute care patients is increasing by virtue of market entry
of other health care providers, such as acute care hospitals, rehabilitation
hospitals and other specialty service providers. The competitive factors that
distinguish subacute providers include the degree of acuity for which care can
be provided. The Company believes that its subacute care facilities are
characterized by a high level of acuity in patient care provided. Other
important competitive factors include the reputation of the facility in the
community, the services offered, the availability of qualified nurses, local
physicians, hospital support, rehabilitation therapists and other personnel, the
appearance of the facility and the cost of services.

SOURCE OF REVENUES AND PAYOR MIX

  The Company derives its revenues primarily from various state Medicaid
programs for indigent patients, the Medicare program for certain elderly and
disabled patients, private pay sources, rehabilitation therapy services offered
to third-party long-term care facilities and management fees. The Company
employs reimbursement specialists and retains outside reimbursement consultants
to monitor reimbursement rules, policies and related developments in order to
comply with reporting requirements and to assist the Company in receiving
reimbursements.

  The following table sets forth the percentage of total revenues by payor
source for the Company for the periods indicated:

____________

(1) Private pay includes payments from third parties pursuant to contract
    rehabilitation therapy services.

  MEDICARE PRIOR TO 1998. All of the Company's facilities are certified Medicare
providers. The Medicare program consists of two parts. Part A covers inpatient
hospital services and certain services furnished by other institutional
providers, such as skilled nursing and long-term acute care facilities. Part B
covers the services of doctors, suppliers of medical items, various types of
outpatient services including physical, speech and occupational therapy,
pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, certain intensive rehabilitation and
psychiatric services and ancillary services of the type provided by long-term
care or acute care facilities. Medicare does not provide reimbursement for
community-based, intermediate-care nursing facilities.

  Under the Medicare Part A program, the Company is reimbursed for its direct
costs plus an allocation of indirect costs up to a facility specific limit (the
"routine cost limit"). As the Company has expanded its post-acute care and
other specialty services, the costs of care for these patients have exceeded and
are expected to continue to exceed the reimbursement routine cost limits. Under
current regulations, new long-term care facilities are, in certain limited
circumstances, able to apply for a three-year exemption from routine cost
limits. Unless and until such exemptions are granted, these facilities can
recover excess costs only through routine cost limit exception requests. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover such excess costs
under any pending or future requests. Payment for Medicare Part B services
depends on the nature of the services provided. Some services are reimbursed at
cost, much like Part A services. Other services, particularly parenteral and
enteral nutrition therapy, are reimbursed on a fee schedule.

  PRIVATE PAY, MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER.  Private pay and other revenues
include payments from individuals who pay directly for services without
governmental assistance and payments from commercial insurers, HMOs, PPOs,
insurance organizations, workers' compensation programs, hospice programs and
other similar payment sources. The Company's rates for private pay patients are
typically higher than rates for patients eligible for assistance under state
Medicaid programs. These private pay rates are established on a facility-
specific basis in accordance with market factors, including rates charged by
other providers in the local market.

  MEDICAID.  Medicaid includes the various state-administered reimbursement
programs for indigent patients created by federal law. Although reimbursement
rates vary from state to state, the federal government retains the right to
approve or disapprove individual state plans. Providers must accept

                                       9
<PAGE>

reimbursement from Medicaid as payment in full for the services rendered,
because the provider may not bill the patient for more than the amount of the
Medicaid payment received. Criteria for Medicaid eligibility varies from state
to state, subject to guidelines from the federal government for determination
whether a person qualifies as medically indigent and subject to changes in state
and federal regulations.

  Many of the residents at the Company's facilities who initially enter the
facilities as private pay or insurance patients are later covered by Medicaid as
their financial resources are depleted to a level of financial net worth and
income which makes them eligible for Medicaid.

  With the exception of two facilities, all of the facilities operated by the
Company participate in state Medicaid programs. Basic long-term care services
are provided to Medicaid patients, including nursing, dietary, housekeeping and
laundry and restorative health care services, room and board and medications.
Medicaid does not cover the cost of private rooms, private-duty nurses and other
costs, or amounts in excess of the Medicaid reimbursement rates. The Balanced
Budget Act of 1997 requires states to use a public notice and comment process in
determining rates for hospital services, nursing facility services and services
of intermediate care facilities/mentally retarded (but not for home and
community care). Under this process, states will be required to publish in
proposed and final form the rates, rate methodologies, and justifications for
the rates of hospitals, nursing facilities, and intermediate care
facilities/mentally retarded. Likewise, states must furnish interested parties
with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed rates, rate
methodologies, and justifications. States also must take into account during the
hospital rate-setting process the situation of hospitals which serve a
disproportionate number of low-income patients with special needs.
Furthermore, payments must be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that
services under the state's Medicaid plan are available to recipients at least to
the extent that those services are available to the general population.
Reimbursement rates generally are determined by the state from "cost reports"
filed annually by each facility, on both a prospective and retrospective basis.
There can be no assurance, however, that payments under Medicaid programs will
be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to patients eligible for
reimbursement pursuant to such programs.

  Cost reports are subject to routine audits by government regulatory bodies on
an annual or periodic basis and several of the Company's facilities are
currently involved in the audit process. In the event of a determination by such
a regulatory body that the amount of reimbursement exceeded allowable
reimbursement levels, the Company may be required to repay any excess amount.
Although the Company believes it has adequately provided for any repayment
obligations, there can be no assurance that such provisions will be adequate.

  CONTRACT REHABILITATION SERVICES.  In general, the Company classifies payments
for rehabilitation therapy services received directly from third-party long-term
care facilities as private pay. Revenues from rehabilitation therapy services
provided to Company-operated facilities are included in the Medicare, Medicaid
and private pay sources of revenues of the Company. The Company's charges to
non-affiliates, though not directly regulated, are effectively limited by
regulatory reimbursement policies imposed on the long-term care facilities that
receive these services, as well as competitive market factors.

  MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. The Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to
various statutory and regulatory changes which may adversely affect the
Company's business. There can be no assurance that payments for services and
supplies under governmental reimbursement programs will remain comparable to
present levels. In fact, as discussed later in this section certain provisions
will change effective in 1998. The Company may be subject to rate reductions as
a result of federal budgetary legislation.

                                       10
<PAGE>

  Various state Medicaid programs periodically experience budgetary shortfalls
which may result in Medicaid payment delays to the Company. In addition, the
failure, even inadvertent, of the Company to comply with applicable
reimbursement regulations could adversely affect the Company's business.
Although there can be no assurance that future adjustments will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company, the Company believes that it has
properly applied the various payment formulas and that it is not likely that
audit adjustments would have a material adverse effect on the Company. In 1990
and 1993, Congress passed legislation ("OBRA" and "OBRA 93") revising Medicare
nursing standards and reimbursement and methods for nursing homes. Although the
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with the current
requirements of OBRA and OBRA 93, it is unable to predict how future
interpretation and enforcement of regulations promulgated under OBRA and OBRA 93
by the state and federal governments could affect the Company in the future.

  Effective July 1, 1995, the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA")
promulgated new survey, certification and enforcement rules governing long-term
care facilities participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which
impose significant new requirements on long-term care facilities. The breadth of
the new rules creates uncertainty over the manner in which the rules will be
implemented, the ability of any long-term care facility to comply with them and
the effect of the new rules on the Company.

  Under the rules, unannounced standard surveys of facilities must be conducted
at least once every 15 months with a statewide average of 12 months. In addition
to the standard survey, survey agencies have the authority to conduct surveys as
frequently as necessary to determine whether facilities comply with
participation requirements, to determine whether facilities have corrected past
deficiencies and to monitor care if a change occurs in the ownership or
management of a facility. Furthermore, the state survey agency must review all
complaint allegations and conduct a standard or an abbreviated survey to
investigate such complaints if a review of the complaint shows that a deficiency
in one or more of the Federal requirements may have occurred and that only a
survey will determine whether a deficiency or deficiencies exist. If a facility
has been found to furnish substandard care, it is subject to an extended survey.
The extended survey is intended to identify the policies and procedures that
caused a facility to deliver substandard care.

  HCFA's new rules substantially revise provisions regarding the enforcement of
compliance requirements and remedies for long-term care facilities with
deficiencies. At a minimum, the following remedies are available: termination of
provider agreement; temporary management; denial of payment for new admissions;
civil money penalties; closure of the facility in emergencies or transfer of
patients or both; and on-site state monitoring. States may also adopt optional
remedies. The new rules divide remedies into three categories. Category I
remedies include directed plans of correction, state monitoring and directed in-
service training. Category 2 remedies include denial of payments for new
admissions, denial of payments for all individuals (imposed only by HCFA) and
civil money penalties of $50 to $3,000 per day. Category 3 remedies include
temporary management, immediate termination or civil money penalties of $3,050
to $10,000 per day. The rules define situations in which one or more of the
penalties must be imposed.

  FEE SPLITTING AND REFERRALS.  The Company is also subject to federal and state
laws that govern financial and other arrangements between providers. Federal
laws, as well as the laws of certain states, prohibit payments or fee splitting
arrangements between providers that are designed to induce or encourage the
referral of patients to, or the recommendation of, a particular provider for
medical products and services. These laws include the federal "anti-kickback
law" which prohibits, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or
receipt of any form of remuneration in return for the referral of Medicare and
Medicaid patients.

                                       11
<PAGE>

  Effective January 1, 1995, OBRA 93 prohibits any physician with a financial
relationship (defined as a direct or indirect ownership or investment interest
or compensation arrangement) with an entity from making a referral for
"designated health services" to that entity and prohibits that entity from
billing for such services. "Designated health services" do not include skilled
nursing services but do include many services which long-term care facilities
provide to their patients, including, but not limited to, infusion therapy and
enteral and parenteral nutrition. Various exceptions to the application of this
law exist, including one, which protects the payment of fair market compensation
for the provision of personal services, so long as various requirements are met.
Violations of these provisions may result in civil or criminal penalties for
individuals or entities and/or exclusion from participation in the Medicaid and
Medicare programs. Various state laws contain analogous provisions, exceptions
and penalties. Violation of these state laws could lead to loss of licensure,
significant fines and other penalties. The Company believes that in the past it
has been, and in the future it will be, able to arrange its business
relationships so as to comply with these provisions. Failure to comply with such
laws could subject the Company to civil fines, possible exclusion from
government reimbursement programs and, in certain cases, criminal prosecution.

  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
nursing facility 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 cost 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 determined by the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services.

  The Medicare prospective payment system begins for cost reporting periods
starting on or after July 1, 1998. For the Company's facilities, the initial
year of the four-year phase in period will begin January 1, 1999. In 1999, the
blended rate will be based 75% on the facility-specific rate and 25% on the
federal per diem rate. In 2000, the prospective rate will be based 50% on the
facility-specific rate and 50% on the federal per diem rate. In 2001, the
blended rate will be based 25% on the facility-specific rate and 75% on the
federal per diem rate. In the year 2002, the prospective rate will be 100% of
the federal per diem rate. Additionally, the Act imposes fee schedules or per
beneficiary limitations on outpatient supplies and services and requires
consolidated billing for all Medicare beneficiaries residing in a skilled
nursing facility. The Company has already taken steps to comply with the
consolidated billing requirements. The impact of per beneficiary limitations on
outpatient therapy services could adversely affect the Company's skilled nursing
facility revenue and its therapy revenue. Currently, the Company derives
approximately 21% of its revenue from Medicare at its long-term care facilities.
Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office has revised economic projections
which include Medicaid cuts of $1.2 billion to Medicaid long-term care providers
over the next five years. Currently, the Company derives approximately 36% of
its revenues from Medicaid at its long-term care facilities.

  The Act provides that by October 1, 1999, home health care will be
reimbursed under a prospective payment system. Specifics of this system have not
yet been defined. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1,
1997, the Act requires home health agencies to be reimbursed the lesser of:

  . actual costs;
  . per visit limits, reduced to 105% of the national median, 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
    1994 costs, trended forward and phased in over four years, (similar to long-
    term care provisions).

For the year ended December 31, 1997 Centennial derived 6% of its revenues from
home health care.

                                       12
<PAGE>

  Management believes that, due to the cost structure at its facilities, 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.

  Although management believes that a prospective pay system will benefit
companies, such as Centennial, that have sophisticated information systems
allowing them to track and document acuity levels and costs, there can be no
assurance that the Company will recognize any such benefits.  The Company
currently operates in many states having Medicaid programs with acuity-based
reimbursements levels and incentives for efficient, quality operations.  The
Company has effectively operated in these programs utilizing both its patient
care information systems, for the documentation of patient acuity levels for
maximum reimbursement, and its management information systems, to control
expenses.  In many instances, the Company's revenues have increased under this
form of reimbursement, although there can be no assurance that such results will
be achieved under the payment systems described above.  Prior to the enactment
of the Act, the Company anticipated that regulation and market changes would
result in a flattening of growth of its third party contract therapy business.
The latest legislative changes do not alter these views.

  Effective April 1, 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. During 1997, the Company
derived 7% of its revenue from third-party contract therapy services. 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 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 and changes in the method
of delivering such services. 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 adverse effect on
the Company.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

  The federal government and all states in which the Company operates regulate
various aspects of the Company's business. In addition to the regulation of
rates by governmental payor sources, the development and operation of long-term
care facilities and the provision of long-term care services are subject to
federal, state and local licensure and certification laws which regulate with
respect to a facility, among other matters, the number of beds, the services
provided, the distribution of pharmaceuticals, equipment, staffing requirements,
patients' rights, operating policies and procedures, fire prevention measures,
environmental matters and compliance with building and safety codes. Home health
care providers are also subject to extensive government regulations. Regulators
recently announced plans to impose new regulations and to increase regulatory
enforcement activities. There can be no assurance that federal, state or local
governmental regulations will not change or be subjected to new interpretations
that impose additional restrictions which might adversely affect the Company's
business.

  Licensing, certification and other applicable standards vary from jurisdiction
to jurisdiction and are revised periodically. State agencies survey or inspect
all long-term care facilities on a regular basis to determine whether such
facilities are in compliance with the requirements for participation in
government-sponsored third-party payor programs. In some cases or upon repeat
violations, the reviewing agency has the authority to take various adverse
actions against a facility, including the imposition of fines, temporary
suspension of admission of new patients to the facility, suspension or
decertification from participation in the state Medicaid or the Medicare

                                       13

program, offset of amounts due against future billings to the Medicare or
Medicaid programs, denial of payments under Medicaid for new admissions,
reduction of payments, restrictions on the ability to acquire new facilities
and, in extreme circumstances, revocation of a facility's license or closure of
a facility. The compliance history of a prior provider may be used by state or
federal regulators in determining possible action against a successor provider.

  The Company believes that its facilities are in substantial compliance with
all statutes, regulations, standards and requirements applicable to its
business, including applicable Medicaid and Medicare regulatory requirements. In
the ordinary course of its business, however, the Company from time to time
receives notices of deficiencies for failure to comply with various regulatory
requirements. In most cases, the Company and the reviewing agency will agree
upon corrective measures to be taken to bring the facility into compliance.
There can be no assurance that future agency inspections will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

  CERTIFICATES OF NEED.  A majority of the states in which the Company operates
have adopted CON or similar laws which generally require that a state agency
determine that a need exists prior to the construction of new facilities, the
addition or reduction of licensed beds or services, the implementation of other
changes, the incurrence of certain capital expenditures, the approval of certain
acquisitions and changes in ownership or, in certain states, the closure of a
facility. State CON approval is generally issued for a specific project or
number of beds, specifies a maximum expenditure, is sometimes subject to an
inflation adjustment, and requires implementation of the proposal within a
specified period of time. Failure to obtain the necessary state approval can
result in the inability of the facility to provide the service, operate the
facility or complete the acquisition, addition or other change and can also
result in adverse reimbursement action or the imposition of sanctions or other
adverse action on the facility's license.

  ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER.  The Company is subject to a wide variety of
federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws
and regulations. Among the types of regulatory requirements faced by providers
are: air and water quality control requirements, waste management requirements,
specific regulatory requirements applicable to asbestos, polychlorinated
biphenyls and radioactive substances, requirements for providing notice to
employees and members of the public about hazardous materials and wastes and
certain other requirements.

  In its role as owner and/or operator of properties or facilities, the Company
may be subject to liability for investigating and remedying any hazardous
substances that have come to be located on the property, including such
substances that may have migrated off of, or emitted, discharged, leaked,
escaped or been transported from, the property. The Company's operations may
involve the handling, use, storage, transportation, disposal and/or discharge of
hazardous, infectious, toxic, radioactive, flammable and other hazardous
materials, wastes, pollutants or contaminants. Such activities may harm
individuals, property or the environment; may interrupt operations and/or
increase their costs; may result in legal liability, damages, injunctions or
fines; may result in investigations, administrative proceedings, penalties or
other governmental agency actions; and may not be covered by insurance. The cost
of any required remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances could be
substantial and the liability of an owner or operator for any property is
generally not limited under applicable laws and could exceed the property's
value. Although the Company is not aware of any material liability under any
environmental or occupational health and safety laws, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not encounter such liabilities in the future, which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

PERSONNEL

  As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed, directly or indirectly,
approximately 10,100 persons, including approximately 8,100 full-time and 2,000
part-time employees. As of December 31, 1997, collective bargaining agreements
were in effect related to 11 facilities covering approximately 804 employees and
negotiations were in progress with bargaining units at seven additional
facilities. The Company believes that it has a satisfactory relationship with
these employees and strives to maintain this relationship by offering
competitive benefit packages, training programs and opportunities for
advancement.

INSURANCE

  The Company maintains property, liability, and professional liability
insurance policies in amounts and with such coverage and deductibles that are
deemed appropriate by management, based upon historical claims, industry
standards and the nature and risks of its business. The Company also requires
that physicians practicing at its facilities carry medical professional
liability insurance to cover their respective individual professional
liabilities. The Company directly and indirectly maintains a self-insurance
program with appropriate reinsurance for workers' compensation. This program
covers employees as required by state law. In certain states, the Company
participates in state approved programs. Contractors who provide services to the
Company must demonstrate adequate insurance prior to commencing work. There can
be no assurance that any claims agianst the Company will not be successful, or
if successful will not exceed the limits of available coverage, or that such
coverage will continue to be available at acceptable rates.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

OFFICE LEASES

  Centennial's corporate headquarters occupy approximately 35,000 square feet of
office space in a commercial building located in Atlanta, Georgia, under a lease

current requirements.

  Centennial also leases approximately 12,800 square feet of office space in
Atlanta, Georgia, which was the previous location of its corporate headquarters.
Centennial subleases the entire space to a subtenant and both the primary lease

The Company has entered into a sublease for 6,350 square feet of this space for
the remaining term of the primary lease and is seeking a subtenant for the
balance of the space.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   As of December 31, 1997, the Company did not have any pending legal

have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is, and may be, from
time to time, party to litigation or administrative proceedings which arise in
the normal course of business.

redeemed upon the completion of the Offering, the Company has not declared any

and, accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that any dividends will be
declared or paid on the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. The
declaration, payment and amount of future dividends, if any, will depend upon
the future earnings, results of operations, financial position and capital
requirements of the Company, among other factors, and are limited by the

shares later issued pursuant to incentive stock options to certain former THS
option holders.

        In addition, pursuant to the PPM, the Company issued 232,164 shares of
its Common Stock and 426,327 shares of Special Voting Common Stock pursuant to a
stock dividend declared effective January 5, 1996 as a condition to the THS

placed 232,164 shares of Common Stock and the shareholders of THS before the THS
Merger ("THS Holders") placed 426,327 shares of Special Voting Common Stock into

Holders (the "THS Agent") entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement
Agreement") whereby the parties agreed to settle any and all claims for
indemnification by having the THS Holders transfer shares of Special Voting
Common Stock or cash in lieu thereof at a value of such

                                      19

Stock was $531,778.76.

relevant security under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder on the basis
that such transactions did not involve a public offering, the purchasers were
sophisticated with access to the kind of information registration would provide
and that such purchasers acquired the securities without a view toward the
distribution thereof.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997.

GENERAL

   At December 31, 1997, the Company operated 84 long-term care facilities
(8,850 beds), two hospitals (65 beds), 30 home health offices and a contract
therapy business providing physical, speech and occupational rehabilitation
services under approximately 128 contracts. During 1997 the Company grew both
through same store growth and through acquisitions.

   During the year the Company added 9 new facility management contracts,
acquired a provider of home health services in North Carolina where the Company
operated 23 facilities, acquired the assets of a therapy service provider and
began operating, through lease arrangements, two rural acute care hospitals.
During 1996, the Company grew through the acquisition of two facilities
previously managed by the Company and the acquisition of THS, which closed
effective December 31, 1995.

   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 in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Total revenues associated with CCI
approximated $6.1 million during 1997. In May 1997, the Company acquired Total
Care Consolidated, Inc. ("TCC"), a provider of home health services, with 25
home health offices located primarily in North Carolina. Total revenues
associated with TCC approximated $18.6 million during 1997. During March and
June 1997, the Company began operating two rural hospitals providing acute care
services with a total of 65 beds. The hospitals are located in north Florida and
are operated under operating leases. In October 1996, the Company acquired two
previously managed long- term care facilities located in Michigan with a total
of 185 beds. Effective December 1995, the Company acquired all of the capital
stock of Transitional Health Services, Inc. ("THS") which operated 36 long-term
care facilities (3,776 beds) and provided therapy rehabilitation services
through its subsidiary Paragon Rehabilitation, Inc. under 35 contracts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES.  Net patient service revenues increased from
$227.4 million in 1996 to $296.3 million in 1997, an increase of $68.9 million
or 30.3%, of which approximately $20.7 million was attributable to the addition
of the operations of three long-term care facilities and two rural hospitals.
TCC and the CCI contracts added revenues of approximately $18.6 million and $6.1
million, respectively during the year ended December 31, 1997. The remaining
increase of $23.5 million was attributable to growth in existing facility
revenues and therapy services contract revenues. The increase in existing
facility revenues during 1997 of $14.9 million resulted primarily from a shift
in payor mix from Medicaid to Medicare resources and commercial payors,
increases in Medicaid rates over those experienced in 1996, and favorable
settlements of prior year open cost reports. During 1997, occupancy levels at
the Company's long-term care facilities remained consistent with 1996 at
approximately 92%. The increase in revenues at the Company's subsidiary
providing therapy services of $8.6 million, exclusive of the CCI contracts,
resulted from the net addition of 19 rehabilitation therapy services contracts
during 1997 as well as an overall increase in therapy revenue related to
existing contracts.

                                      22
<PAGE>

MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER REVENUES.  Management fees and other revenues
increased from $5.7 million in 1996 to $8.0 million in 1997, an increase of $2.3
million, or 40.5%, which was primarily attributable to the Company's addition of
facility management agreements during 1997.

FACILITY OPERATING EXPENSES.  Facility operating expenses increased from $183.3
million in 1996 to $234.6 million in 1997, an increase of $51.3 million or
28.0%, of which approximately $16.4 million was attributable to the addition of
the operations of three long-term care facilities and two hospitals. TCC and the
CCI therapy contracts added approximately $17.0 million and $5.2 million,
respectively, to operating expenses during 1997. The Company's expenses from
existing contract therapy services increased $9.3 million over the prior year
period related primarily to growth in therapy contracts during 1997.  The
remaining $3.4 million was attributable primarily to an increase in costs at
existing long-term care facilities and to providing care for higher acuity
patients during the current year period.

LEASE EXPENSE.  Lease expense increased from $18.8 million in 1996 to $21.4
million in 1997, an increase of $2.6 million, or 14.0%, of which approximately
$1.2 million was attributable to the addition of one leased long-term care
facility and two leased hospitals.  The remaining $1.4 million increase was due
primarily to an expansion of the Company's corporate office lease, and rent
escalations in certain facility leases, which are tied to increases in operating
revenue and income.

CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.  Corporate administrative costs increased from
$11.4 million in 1996 to $16.1 million in 1997, an increase of $4.7 million, or
40.8%, which was primarily attributable to additional overhead to accommodate
the expansion in therapy services contracts, including the acquisition of the 45
CCI contracts, the addition of long-term care facility management agreements and
the Company's new home health and hospital operations.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased from
$5.0 million in 1996 to $6.8 million in 1997, an increase of $1.7 million, or
34.9%, which was primarily attributable to facility acquisitions during the
fourth quarter of 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased from $10.1 million in 1996 to $8.7
million in 1997, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million or 14.0%, which was
attributable to the reduction of debt by approximately $60.4 million as a result
of the Offering, net of the additional expense incurred as a result of
borrowings for the acquisition of two long-term care facilities.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Company's effective tax rate decreased from
41.4% in 1996 to 39.0% in 1997, a decrease in the rate of 2.4%. This decrease
was attributable primarily to an expected decline in the Company's average state
tax rate and a proportional decrease in non-deductible expenses for federal tax
purposes.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES.  Net patient service revenues increased from
$71.9 million in 1995 to $227.4 million in 1996, an increase of $155.5 million
or 216.3%, of which $148.3 million was attributable to the THS Merger,
$4.0 million was attributable to other facility acquisitions, and $3.2 million
was attributable to growth in existing facility revenues that resulted primarily
from a shift in payor mix from Medicaid to Medicare and general rate increases.
Occupancy levels at the Company's facilities decreased from 95.0% at December
31, 1995 to 92.7% at December 31, 1996 primarily as a result of the THS Merger.
Occupancy rates, excluding THS's facilities, were 95.0% at December 31, 1995
versus 94.0% at December 31, 1996.

MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER REVENUES.  Management fees and other revenues
increased from $3.4 million in 1995 to $5.7 million in 1996, an increase of $2.3
million or 67.6%, of which approximately $500,000 was attributable to the
addition of two facility management agreements in 1996, one of which was
acquired in the THS Merger, and the addition of a management agreement
for a rural hospital, and $1.4 million was attributable to the recognition of
management fees for a portion of 1996 for seven facilities, as compared to only
two months of recognized management fees in 1995 for those facilities. The
remaining $400,000 increase resulted from increased revenues over the prior year
in the Company's existing managed facilities.


                                      23
<PAGE>

FACILITIES OPERATING EXPENSES.  Facility operating expenses increased from
$58.6 million in 1995 to $183.3 million in 1996, an increase of $124.7 million
or 212.8%, of which approximately $121.9 million was attributable to the
facilities added through the THS Merger, $3.1 million was attributable
to other facility acquisitions and $600,000 was attributable to an increase in
expenses at existing facilities. The increase in operating expenses was offset
in part by a $900,000 decrease in expenses attributable to certain unusual
charges related to reserves for patient accounts receivable and accrued expenses
related to employee benefits included in 1995.

CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.  Corporate administrative costs increased
from $5.0 million in 1995 to $11.4 million in 1996, an increase of $6.4 million
or 128.0%, of which approximately $3.5 million resulted from overhead related to
the Company's acquired rehabilitation contract therapy business and $3.9 million
was primarily attributable to the integration of THS and the addition of
corporate personnel. The increase in these costs was offset in part by a $1.0
million decrease attributable to certain unusual charges related to the
write-off of advances to a facility no longer managed by the Company and certain
transactional costs related to proposed financing activities during 1995.

LEASE EXPENSE.  Lease expense increased from $7.7 million in 1995 to $18.8
million in 1996, an increase of $11.1 million or 144.2%, of which approximately
$10.3 million was attributable to the THS Merger, and a portion of the
remaining increase was attributable to the Company's relocation and expansion to
its new corporate offices and the net sublease cost of its previous space.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased
from $738,000 in 1995 to $5.0 million in 1996, an increase of $4.3 million, of
which approximately $3.9 million was attributable to an increase in depreciation
and goodwill associated with the THS Merger. The remaining amount was
attributable to other acquisitions.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased from $590,000 in 1995 to $10.1
million in 1996, an increase of $9.5 million, of which approximately $8.4
million was attributable to the THS Merger (whereby the Company assumed
approximately $73.8 million in debt), and the remainder was attributable to
additional borrowings.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate increased from
40.1% in 1995 to 41.4% in 1996, an increase in the rate of 1.3%. This increase
was primarily attributable to the THS Merger and permanent differences relating
to the amortization of goodwill. These permanent differences will not change in
future periods but will vary as a percentage of pre-tax income or loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company's principal sources of cash have been proceeds from the sales of
its stock and borrowings under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility
with CoreStates Bank, N.A. and NationsBank, N.A., as agents and lender and the
other lenders named therein (the "Senior Credit Facility"). Cash has been used
by the Company for acquisitions, capital improvements at several existing
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. As detailed below, the Company
used proceeds from the Offering to reduce debt and redeem its Series E
Redeemable Preferred Stock.

  Working capital increased from $8.7 million at December 31, 1996 to $45.6
million at December 31, 1997, primarily due to increases in patient accounts
receivable. Patient accounts receivable increased from $39.9 million at December
31, 1996 to $72.2 million at December 31, 1997, an increase of $32.3 million,
of which $19.7 million was attributable to the Company's long-term care
facilities. Approximately $8.8 million of this increase relates to the addition
of the operations of three long-term care facilities and two rural hospitals
during 1997. The remaining increase in existing long-term care facility
receivables of $10.9 million was due primarily to a shift in payor mix toward
Medicare resources associated with the Company's continued expansion in
specialty services. Costs incurred under the Medicare program are reimbursed on

                                      24
<PAGE>

a retroactive basis, which extends the collection time of these receivables.
Increases in accounts receivable associated with the Company's contract therapy
business totaled approximately $9.7 million and resulted from the net addition
of 64 rehabilitation therapy contracts (including the 45 contracts purchased
from CCI) as well as growth in existing contracts. The remaining $2.9 million
increase in accounts receivable relates primarily to receivables associated with
TCC.

  The Company continued to invest in its leased and owned facilities through
capital expenditures of approximately $7.6 million or approximately $1,300 per
bed. These expenditures included the expansion of existing facilities, the
selected rehabilitation of certain facilities and ordinary repairs and
maintenance. In May, the Company acquired TCC for $8.0 million, consisting of
$6.0 million in cash, which was funded under the Senior Credit Facility, and
$2.0 million in the form of a convertible promissory note. In August, the
Company acquired the CCI contracts for total consideration of $7.0 million,
utilizing borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility. Additional consideration
of up to $500,000 may be paid by the Company under an earn-out agreement. In
December 1997, Centennial acquired a previously managed long-term care facility
located in Florida (the "Florida Facility") for approximately $3.3 million,
utilizing borrowings of $1.1 million under its Senior Credit Facility.

  The Company financed its activities during 1997 with $10.0 million in proceeds
from the issuance of two series of preferred stock, $8.0 million in borrowings
for the TCC acquisition, including $6.0 million in borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facility, and $7.0 million and $1.1 million in borrowings for the
acquisition of the CCI therapy contracts and the acquisition of a previously
managed long-term care facility, respectively, from its Senior Credit Facility.
In addition, Centennial borrowed $14.5 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. During the
third quarter, the Company completed its initial public offering (the
"Offering") through the issuance of 4.6 million shares of Common Stock
(including exercise of the underwriters overallotment option). The Company
received proceeds of approximately $66.8 million, net of underwriting discounts
and commissions and Offering expenses. These proceeds were used to repay two
subordinated promissory notes aggregating $25.3 million, to redeem the Series E
Redeemable Preferred Stock for $5.0 million, to repurchase approximately 84,000
shares of Common Stock, which were received by the former holders of the
Company's Series C Preferred Stock, for approximately $1.3 million, and to repay
approximately $35.1 million outstanding under the Company's Senior Credit
Facility. Amounts repaid under the Senior Credit Facility are available for re-
borrowing.

  On December 16, 1997, the Company expanded its Senior Credit Facility through
an amendment to its existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Through the
amendment, the Company's maximum aggregated advance limit was increased from
$65.0 million to $125.0 million. Company advances under the Senior Credit
Facility may be used for acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and
general corporate purposes. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $41.3 million
outstanding under its Senior Credit Facility. The Company's borrowing capacity
under the Senior Credit Facility is dependent upon its ability to satisfy
certain financial covenants that are impacted by its debt and capital structure.
At December 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt
covenants.

  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 for skilled
nursing facilities over the next five years, primarily through the
implementation of a Medicare prospective payment system for skilled nursing
facility services. While the methodology for the prospective payment rates have
been generally established, actual rates have not been released.


                                      25

  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.


Effective April 1, 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. During 1997, the Company derived 7% of
its revenue from third-party contract therapy services. 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 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 and changes in the method of
delivering such services. 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 adverse effect on the
Company.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In the fourth quarter of 1997, Centennial adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", (SFAS No. 128). Prior year
amounts have been restated in accordance with SFAS No. 128. Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing income applicable to common stock by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share is computed similarly but reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if options were exercised or convertible securities were converted into
common stock. The assumption of the conversion of Series A and B Preferred Stock
was anti-dilutive during 1996. The accretion and dividends accrued on Series A
and B Preferred Stock and the accretion and dividends on Series C Preferred
Stock was deducted from net income in the computation of net income applicable
to common stock in 1997 and 1996. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings
per share.

  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".  Both Statements are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company has
not yet determined the effect, if any, of these statements on its consolidated
financial statements.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

   The "Year 2000 Issue" resulted from the use of two digits rather than four
digits to define the applicable year in certain computer programs. With the
coming millennium, any of the Company's computer programs that have two digit
data-sensitive software may interpret a date of "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities.

   Management is in the process of evaluating the effect of the Year 2000 Issue
on the Company. Based on preliminary findings, the total cost of addressing the
Year 2000 Issue is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. However, management is
in the process of completing its assessment of the potential impact of the Year
2000 Issue on the Company and the potential exposure of the Company to related
problems of its customers and supplies. There can be no assurance that such
exposures on the costs of remediating any problems associated therewith will not
materially affect the Company's future business, financial condition or results
of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Centennial HealthCare Corporation

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Centennial
HealthCare Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed on page F-1. These
financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Centennial HealthCare Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1996 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

              CENTENNIAL HEALTHCARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REPORTING ENTITY

  Centennial HealthCare Corporation ("Centennial" or the "Company")(formerly
known as WelCare International, Inc.) was incorporated in February 1989 under
the laws of the State of Georgia. The Company's principal business is to provide
basic and specialty healthcare services to patients in a post acute setting. At
December 31, 1997, subsidiaries of the Company operated 84 owned, leased and
managed long-term care facilities with 8,850 licensed available beds in 19
states and the District of Columbia. In addition, through its subsidiaries, the
Company provided comprehensive contract rehabilitation services to Company-owned
and third party long-term care facilities pursuant to 128 contracts, as well as
home health services through 30 licensed home health offices.

  In July 1997, Centennial completed an initial public offering of 4,000,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Offering").  In connection with the
Offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to
600,000 additional shares of the Company's Common Stock.  This option was
exercised and closed in July 1997, (see Note 2).

  At December 31, 1996, certain subsidiaries of the Company held general partner
interests in certain public and private limited partnerships, the majority of
which own and operate long-term care facilities. Centennial's general partner
interests in those partnerships ranged from .49% to 3.992%. Certain subsidiaries
which owned these partnership interests were sold on January 30, 1997.

  Effective December 31, 1995, the Company merged with Transitional Health
Services, Inc. ("THS"), a company that operated 36 nursing homes and provided
rehabilitation services in ten states. Prior to the merger with THS, the Company
operated 39 long-term care facilities through either management contracts, lease
agreements or direct ownership.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly owned subsidiaries, and a majority-owned (55%) affiliated limited
partnership.

  The Company accounted for its investments in certain other limited
partnerships in which the Company served as a general partner under the equity
method. The investments were recorded at cost and adjusted for Centennial's
share of earnings or losses and cash distributions.

  All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

REVENUES

  Revenues to be received from patients at Centennial's long-term care
facilities are recorded at established billing rates. Revenues to be reimbursed
by contracts with third-party payors, primarily Medicare and Medicaid programs,
are recorded at the amount estimated to be realized under these contractual
arrangements. Revenues from the management of long-term care facilities and
acute care hospitals are recognized over the period during which the services
are rendered. Revenues from Medicare and Medicaid are generally based on

                                      F-7
<PAGE>

reimbursement of allowable costs of providing services to program beneficiaries.
The Company estimates amounts due from third-party payors and records the
revenue in the period services are rendered. Amounts ultimately payable by
Medicare and Medicaid are determined based on annual cost reports which are
subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by the payor. Changes in estimated
revenues due in connection with Medicare and Medicaid may be recorded by the
Company subsequent to the year of origination and prior to final settlement
based on improved estimates. Differences between estimated amounts due from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs and ultimate settlements with these programs are
recognized in the year of final settlement.

  Costs reimbursed under the Medicare program are subject to regional limits.
The costs at certain of the Company's facilities have frequently exceeded these
limits and, accordingly, the Company is required to submit exception requests to
cover such excess costs. The accompanying balance sheets include amounts
estimated to be recoverable under such exception requests.

  Accounts receivable, net, at December 31, 1997 and 1996 includes $44.4 million
and $28.4 million, respectively, of amounts due from Medicare and Medicaid
programs.

  The Company is not aware of any material claims, disputes, or other unsettled
matters related to third-party reimbursements, other than those reflected on its
balance sheets, and believes retroactive adjustments related to these
receivables will not be material.

CONCENTRATIONS

  A significant portion of the Company's revenues are derived from the Medicare
and Medicaid programs. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, ("the Act"), enacted in
August 1997, has targeted the Medicare program for reductions in spending growth
of approximately $49.2 billion for skilled nursing facilities over the next five
years, primarily through the implementation of a Medicare prospective payment
system for skilled services (see Note 19). In addition to the Act, there have
been, and the Company expects that there will continue to be, a number of
additional proposals to limit reimbursements to long-term care facilities under
the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Centennial cannot predict whether any of
these additional proposals will be adopted, or if adopted and implemented, what
effect such proposals would have on the Company. Approximately 60%, 68%, and 76%
of the Company's total revenues for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively, are from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. While the
Company operates long-term care facilities in 18 states and the District of
Columbia, 33 of its 55 owned or leased facilities are located in North Carolina,
Indiana and Michigan.

FACILITY OPERATING EXPENSES

  Facility operating expenses include direct operating costs at the facility
level. The majority of these costs consist of payroll and employee benefits
related to nursing, housekeeping and dietary services provided to patients, as
well as maintenance and administration of the facilities. Other significant
facility operating expenses include medical and pharmacy supplies, food,
utilities, and the cost of rehabilitation therapies.

INCOME TAXES

  Income taxes are calculated using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. Deferred taxes are provided for the differences between the tax and
accounting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. For Federal income tax
purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax
return.

                                      F-8

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

  The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

  Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of five to ten years for equipment, five to 15 years for furniture and 30
to 40 years for buildings and improvements.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

  Intangible assets consist primarily of costs in excess of the fair value of
identifiable net assets of acquired entities, and are amortized using the
straight-line method, primarily over a 30 to 40 year period.

ASSESSMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

  The Company periodically reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets
(primarily property and equipment and intangible assets) whenever events or
circumstances provide evidence that suggest that the carrying amount of long-
lived assets may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that long-lived
assets may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the expected undiscounted
future net operating cash flows from its facilities, as well as valuations
obtained in connection with various refinancings. Any permanent impairment in
value is recognized as a charge against earnings in the statement of operations.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company does not believe there is any indication
that the amortization period of its long-lived assets needs to be adjusted.

INCOME PER SHARE

  In June 1997, the Board of Directors and Shareholders of the Company approved
a reverse stock split of .6897 for one.  All references to shares and weighted
shares outstanding used in the calculation of net income per share and per share
amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

  In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". See Note 20 below.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The preparation of 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 financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified for
comparative purposes.

2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

  In July 1997, Centennial completed an initial public offering of 4,000,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $16.00 per share.  In
connection with the Offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to
purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of the Company's Common Stock at the

                                      F-9
<PAGE>

Offering price of $16.00 per share.  This option was exercised and closed in
July 1997. Proceeds to Centennial from the Offering and the exercise of the
underwriters' option totaled approximately $66.8 million, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions and approximately $1.7 million in Offering expenses.

  The net proceeds of the Offering available to the Company were used to repay
two subordinated promissory notes aggregating $25.3 million, to redeem the
Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock for $5.0 million, to repurchase
approximately 84,000 shares of Common Stock, which were received by the former
holders of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock, for approximately $1.3
million (see Note 10), and to repay approximately $35.1 million outstanding
under the Company's Senior Credit Facility with CoreStates Bank N.A. as agent
(the "Senior Credit Facility", see Note 8).

  Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Company's Series A, B, C
and D Preferred Stock were converted into approximately 2.5 million shares of
Common Stock, net of the stock repurchase noted above; the Company's Special
Voting Common Stock was converted into Common Stock; and Centennial's Treasury
Stock, discussed in Note 10, was converted into Common Stock.

3. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

  In May 1997, the Company acquired by merger Total Care Consolidated, Inc.,
("TCC"), a provider of home health services, with 25 home health offices located
primarily in North Carolina. Total consideration of $8.0 million consisted of
$6.0 million in cash, which was funded under the Senior Credit Facility, and
$2.0 million in the form of a convertible promissory note due April 30, 1999.
The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method and the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements include TCC from the effective date of the
merger.

  In August 1997, Centennial acquired substantially all of the business and
assets of Complex Care, Inc., ("CCI"), a provider of physical, occupational and
speech therapy services through 45 contracts with long-term care facilities in
Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Company paid total consideration of $7.0
million, utilizing borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility. Additional
consideration of up to $500,000 may be paid by the Company under an earn-out
agreement. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method and the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include CCI from the effective date
of the acquisition.

  The Company recorded intangible assets of approximately $8.0 million and $7.5
million related to the acquisitions of TCC and CCI, respectively.

  In December 1997, Centennial acquired a 58-bed skilled nursing facility in St.
Petersburg, Florida, which had previously been managed by the Company since June
1991. The facility was formerly owned by an affiliate of the President of the
Company. Total consideration of approximately $3.3 million included borrowings
under the Senior Credit Facility of approximately $1.1 million, and the
reduction of a note receivable to the Company from the facility of

                                      F-10

<PAGE>

approximately $2.2 million.  The transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method and the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include this
facility from the effective date of the acquisition.

  During 1997, the Company acquired leasehold interests in two rural hospitals.
In October 1996, the Company entered into a management agreement and a lease
agreement with the owner of both a 36-bed hospital and three licensed home
health care offices, located in Northern Florida. The agreement provided that
the Company would manage the hospital until all necessary approvals and licenses
were obtained, at which time the Company would operate the hospital under a
long-term lease. The Company accounted for the transaction as a management
agreement beginning in October 1996; in June 1997, all necessary approvals and
licenses were obtained, and the Company has operated the hospital under a long-
term lease since that date. The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
include the hospital from the effective date of the transaction. In March 1997,
the Company entered into another lease of a rural hospital, also located in
Northern Florida, having a term of ten years with two five-year renewal options.

  In October 1996, the Company acquired two previously managed long-term care
facilities located in Michigan with a total of 185 beds. The purchase price,
totaling approximately $9.1 million, was financed with the Company's Senior
Credit Facility. Centennial had managed these facilities under long-term
management agreements since 1991.

  Effective December 31, 1995, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of
THS, valued at $19.0 million, through the issuance of 2,940,639 shares of
Special Voting Common Stock and 144,086 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (the
"THS Merger"). In connection with this transaction, the Company formulated a
plan to integrate the operations of THS. Such plan included the disposal of its
leasehold interests at two facilities which were not compatible with the
Company's operations. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company
disposed of one of the identified facility leases at its previously estimated
fair value. The Company was not successful in its efforts to dispose of the
remaining facility lease in 1997; however, based on improvements made to the
operations of the facility, the Company expects that it will be disposed of
during 1998. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, remaining accrued merger closure
costs of $3.4 million included the accrual for the lease buyout and estimated
losses on the sublease of the THS headquarters facility. Any additional costs
incurred to operate and ultimately dispose of the remaining facility will be
charged to earnings.

  Proforma information for the 1997 and 1996 acquisitions has not been
presented, as the effects of the acquisitions on the consolidated financial
statements was not considered significant.

4. OPERATING LEASES

  The Company leases 39 long-term care facilities, as well as two hospitals,
which are accounted for as operating leases. The leases have various expiration
dates through 2014. Two of the long-term care facility leases are with
affiliated entities, of which the Company or an affiliate of one of the
Company's officers serves as a general partner.

  The leases with affiliated entities expire in 2002 and 2008 with both having
two five-year extensions. Total lease expense to the Company as a result of
these two leases was $3.2 million, $3.3 million and $2.9 million for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively. In connection with one


                                      F-11
<PAGE>

lease, the Company paid the affiliated lessor a deposit of $2.9 million, which
is refundable upon the termination of the lease. The Company owed the other
affiliated lessor approximately $340,000 and $700,000 at December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

  Twenty-three of the long-term care facility leases were obtained in connection
with the THS Merger. These leases include provisions for increases in lease
payments. Certain of these leases provide the Company an option to renew the
lease after the initial lease term.

  Total rent expense under the long-term care facility and hospital operating
lease agreements approximated $19.9 million, $17.7 million, and $7.4 million for
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

  On December 16, 1997, the Company expanded its Senior Credit Facility with
CoreStates Bank, N.A. and NationsBank, N.A., as agents, through an amendment to
its existing amended and restated credit agreement. Through the amendment, the
Company's maximum aggregated advance limit was increased from $65.0 million to
$125.0 million. Company advances under the Senior Credit Facility may be used
for acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate
purposes. Centennial's borrowing capacity is dependent upon its ability to
satisfy certain financial covenants that are impacted by its debt and capital
structure. The Company had approximately $41.3 million outstanding under the
Senior Credit Facility at December 31, 1997, as well as issued standby letters
of credit totaling approximately $7.0 million.

     Interest accrues at varying rates dependent upon underlying interest rates
and the Company's selection of loan amounts and periods. The Company can elect a
rate based on CoreStates Bank, N.A.'s prime rate or LIBOR, each increased by an
Applicable Margin, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, which varies
dependent upon the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and operating lease expense. The weighted average
interest rate on the Company's borrowings at December 31, 1997 was approximately
1.58% over LIBOR or 7.2%.

     Interest is generally paid monthly on prime based borrowings and quarterly
on LIBOR based borrowings.  The Company's outstanding borrowings are due to be
repaid on December 16, 2000, upon termination of the Senior Credit Facility.
Under certain circumstances, proceeds from additional equity issuances, sales of
Company assets and other debt instruments must be used to repay a portion of the
outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.

     The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by the stock of the Company's
subsidiaries. The Company is required to pay a fee on the average unused portion
of the commitment.

     The Senior Credit Facility includes various negative covenants including
restrictions on additional loans and advances, guaranties, stock repurchases and
redemptions, and the payment of dividends. Terms of the Senior Credit Facility
require the Company to comply with certain financial and other covenants, the
violation of which could cause the amounts of outstanding principal, interest
and fees to be immediately due and payable. On December 31, 1997, the Company
was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

     At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had $17.8 million and $17.4
million, respectively, of mortgage notes outstanding, including a current
portion of approximately $259,000 and $181,000 respectively. The mortgage notes
require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $157,000.
The debt agreements are for five to twenty-year periods with amortization
periods covering twenty to twenty-five years. At December 31, 1997, interest
rates on the mortgages range from 7.33% to 10.50%. These debts are
collateralized by real property.

  Future maturities of mortgage notes are summarized as follows (in thousands):

                1998                                  $   259

  Rent escalation clauses in the capital facility leases are based on contingent
factors such as increases in the consumer price index or annual increases in a
facility's revenues, and have resulted in increased current and future lease
payments.

  The interest rate on the capital leases is based on the Company's borrowing
rate at the time a lease is executed.  The average interest rate on nursing
facilities and equipment was 10.47% and 13.15%, respectively.

9.  SUBORDINATED DEBT

  At December 31, 1996, the Company had $25.3 million, carried net of
unamortized offering discounts of approximately $943,000, of subordinated debt.
This debt was issued to certain shareholders in two instruments, which were both
due on October 30, 2002 and had effective interest rates between 10.8% and
11.7%. These notes were repaid in 1997 using proceeds from the Offering, which
resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $537,000,
net of income tax benefit of approximately $343,000.


10. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

  As of December 31, 1996, the Company had issued and outstanding 205,541 shares
of $11.0011 par value Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred
Stock earned cumulative dividends of $.88 per share per annum and were
convertible to common at any time at the holder's option at a conversion
multiple of 2.9388. The shares were subject to mandatory conversion by the
Company in limited circumstances, and were converted into approximately 604,000
shares of common stock concurrently with the closing of the Offering in July
1997.

  As of December 31, 1996, the Company had issued and outstanding 328,892 shares
of $8.7377 par value Series B Preferred Stock. The shares of Series B Preferred
Stock earned cumulative dividends at $.49 per annum and were convertible into
 .7663 share of Common Stock at the holder's option. The shares were also subject
to mandatory conversion in certain limited circumstances, and were converted
into approximately 252,000 shares of common stock concurrently with the closing
of the Offering in July 1997.

  The Series A and B Preferred Stock was reflected on the December 31,1996
balance sheet at its estimated redemptive value, including accrued and unpaid
dividends.

  As stated in Note 3, in connection with the THS Merger, the Company issued
144,086 shares of $1 par value Series C Preferred Stock. The shares of Series C
Preferred Stock earned cumulative dividends of $12 per share per annum. The
Company was obligated to redeem all of the shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock outstanding on December 31, 2003 at $100 per share, plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends.  The Series C Preferred Stock was reflected on the
accompanying December 31, 1996 balance sheet at its fair value increased by
periodic accretions, using the interest method, so that the carrying amount
would equal the mandatory redemption amount at the mandatory redemption date.

                                     F-15
<PAGE>

Accretion on the Series C Preferred Stock totaled approximately $259,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. As stated in Note 2, after the closing of the
Offering, with the net proceeds of the exercise of the underwriters
overallotment option, Centennial offered the former holders of the Company's
Series C Preferred Stock pro-rata repurchase to the extent of such proceeds of
their shares of Common Stock received upon the conversion of their Series C
Preferred Stock at the Offering price of $16.00 per share. The Company made this
repurchase offer as consideration for the agreement by these former holders to
the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Holders of
approximately 84,000 shares of the approximately 1.3 million shares available
for pro-rata repurchase elected to have such shares repurchased by Centennial.
Centennial repurchased the 84,000 shares of common stock during 1997 for
approximately $1.3 million.

  In January 1997, the Company issued 50,000 shares of $1 par value Series D
Preferred Stock and an aggregate 50,000 investment units, with each unit being
comprised of one share of $1 par value Series E Preferred Stock and 1.7873
shares of Common Stock of the Company for $10.0 million. The Series D Preferred
Stock was redeemable at the option of the holder at any time after December 31,
2006 for the redemption price of $100 plus interest on the $100 per share at
the rate of 10% per annum from the date of issuance of the Series D Preferred

11. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

  The Company has stock options outstanding under the 1994 Stock Option Plan,
the 1996 Executive Stock Plan, the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan, and the 1997
Stock Plan (collectively referred to as the "Stock Option Plans"). During 1996,
the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan was terminated.

  The 1994 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Executive Stock Plan provide that
options may be granted to officers, directors and key employees; options vest
based upon either years of service, or at various intervals from 1996 through
2000. The 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan provides that options may be granted
to certain employees; options vest at various intervals through 1998. The 1997
Stock Plan provides that options may be granted to officers, non-employee, non-
affiliated directors and key employees at an exercise price and vesting schedule
to be determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors at the
time of grant. The options granted to date pursuant to the 1997 Stock Plan vest
over various schedules from 1998 through 2001.

  All stock options have been granted with exercise prices equal to or greater
than the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant
and are exercisable for up to ten years, as determined by the compensation
committee.

  Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

  The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for fixed stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for the fixed stock option plans. Had compensation cost been based on
the estimated fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans
consistent with the method of FASB Statement No. 123, the net effect on net
income and income per share for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
would have been reduced to the proforma amounts indicated below:

  As of December 31, 1996, the Company had repurchased 239,860 shares of Common
Stock for $1.5 million. These shares were held as treasury stock at December 31,
1996 and were accounted for under the cost method. As noted in Note 2, these
shares were converted into Common Stock as a result of the Offering.

  As previously mentioned, the Company issued Special Voting Common Stock in
connection with the THS Merger. The Special Voting Common Stock was similar to
the Company's Common Stock, except that each share of Special Voting Common
Stock carried 70% of the voting power of one share of Common Stock. As required
by the merger agreement, the Company declared a stock dividend in January 1996
increasing the number of issued and outstanding shares of both Special Voting
Common Stock and Common Stock by 11.11% (the "Stock Dividend"). The shares
issued by the

                                     F-17
<PAGE>

Stock Dividend totaled 294,038 shares of Special Voting Common Stock and 160,124
shares of Common Stock. As noted in Note 2, the Special Voting Common Stock was
converted to Common Stock as a result of the Offering.

  In connection with the THS Merger, the holders of Common Stock (the
"Centennial Holders") and the holders of Special Voting Common Stock (the "THS
Holders") entered into an escrow agreement whereby shares representing the Stock
Dividend were placed in escrow until the parties completed final due diligence
and certain contingencies were settled. The escrowed shares were to be released
to either the THS Holders or the Centennial Holders as determined by the
Centennial agent and THS agent, in order to adjust the proportionate ownership
interest each group of holders received in the combined entity.

  In January 1997, the Centennial agent and the THS agent entered into a
Settlement Agreement which determined the distribution of the escrowed shares.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the equivalent of 293,735 shares of
the Special Voting Common Stock held in escrow were distributed to the
Centennial Holders and all remaining shares were released to the respective
parties. This settlement effectively reduced the purchase price paid for THS and
was recorded as a reduction in goodwill effective at the merger date with a
corresponding decrease to the value of the Special Voting Common Stock.

  As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $455,000 of federal net
operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income through
2010. In addition, the Company had $305,000 of federal targeted jobs tax credit
carryforwards, various state net operating loss carryforwards, and approximately

13. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

  As of December 31, 1997, the Company provided operational management services
for 29 facilities and two hospitals under long-term management contracts having
remaining effective terms ranging from 5 to 19 years. Twenty-five of these
agreements are with third-party owners and are noncancelable without cause. One
of these agreements, with fees totaling approximately $145,000, $142,000, and
$124,000 respectively, during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
was with an affiliate; the facility was purchased by the Company in December
1997, (see Note 3). Five of the management agreements, with fees totaling
approximately $898,000, $939,000 and $995,000, respectively, during the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were with affiliated limited partnerships
in which certain subsidiaries of the Company served as general partner and can
be terminated by either party without cause given sixty days notice. Two of
these agreements were terminated during the fourth quarter while three of these
facilities were transferred to third party owners. The management agreements
provide for the Company to receive annual fees ranging from 6% to 6.5% of each
facility's gross revenues, payable on a monthly basis and may include additional
compensation based on achieving certain performance standards. Additionally, the
Company performs oversight management services for three facilities in which it
oversees the management of another management company. The Company typically
receives a fee of 1% of revenues for oversight management services.


  In connection with the Company's facility management agreements for several
facilities located primarily in North Carolina and Florida, the Company has made
certain advances for working capital needs. The majority of these centers are
start-up or development projects and require additional funding for personnel
and other operating costs prior to stabilization. The advances are to be repaid
from available cash flows from the respective facilities and from other funds
provided by the owners of the facilities and earn interest at varying rates
based on the prime lending rate. Advances outstanding as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 were $11.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and are included in
other receivables in the accompanying balance sheets.

  During 1996, the Company advanced approximately $10.0 million pursuant to two
promissory notes in the amounts of $5.5 million and $4.5 million, to
unaffiliated owners of eight managed facilities in North Carolina. The advances
were utilized by the owners to purchase the related facilities or facility
leasehold interest with respect to these facilities that are managed by the
Company. The promissory notes are due on December 31, 2006 and earn interest at
the greater of a specified prime rate plus 3%,or 12%. Both notes are
collateralized by receivables and the pledge of the stock of the respective
owners and are included in notes and advances receivable in the accompanying
balance sheets.

14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

  At December 31, 1997 the Company had employment agreements with five officers
which provided for salary continuation and non-competition with the Company,
subject to certain conditions.

  The Company leases two long-term care facilities from affiliated lessors (see
Note 4).

  The Company managed five long-term care facilities for affiliated limited
partnerships in which the Company served as a general partner (see Note 13).

  Centennial leases its facilities' employees on a total pass through basis from
an affiliated company which is owned by the president of the Company. The total
payroll costs and reimbursements from the Company totaled $37.2 million, $29.2
million, and $23.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Such costs are billed by the related entity at cost.

  In December 1997, Centennial acquired a 58-bed skilled nursing facility in St.
Petersburg, Florida, which had previously been managed by the Company since June
1991. The facility was formerly owned by an affiliate of the President of the
Company. Total consideration of approximately $3.3 million included borrowings
under the Senior Credit Facility of approximately $1.1 million, and the
reduction of a note receivable to the Company from the facility of approximately
$2.2 million. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method and
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include this facility from the
effective date of the acquisition.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    The Company has guaranteed a mortgage note up to $500,000 related to a long-
term care facility that it manages. The mortgage had an outstanding balance of
approximately $1.9 million at December 31, 1997. The market value of this
facility, based on an independent appraisal and the Company's estimate,
substantially exceeds the total amount of the mortgage note. All principal and
interest payments are paid currently by the obligors.

  The Company has guaranteed $17.0 million of mortgage indebtedness of two
unrelated entities that lease five nursing facilities to the Company. The
outstanding principal balance of the debt was approximately $15.7 million at
December 31, 1997. All principal and interest payments are paid currently by the
obligors. Based on the Company's estimate, the market value of these facilities
exceeded the outstanding mortgage notes at December 31, 1997.

                                     F-20

  Centennial self-insures for workers' compensation claims and health benefits
for its employees. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance such that the
Company's liability for losses is limited. Centennial recognized as an expense
and accrued for estimated workers' compensation and health benefit claims
incurred but not reported as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.

16. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. Centennial has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash and cash equivalents.

17. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

  The Company has 401(k) savings plans available to substantially all employees
depending on their length of service. Employees may defer up to 15% of their
salary, subject to the maximum permitted by law. In two of these plans the
Company matches employee contributions subject to a maximum limit. The Company
funded approximately $363,000 and $92,000 during the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, as a match to the employee
contributions.

18.  DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

  The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments, and includes restricted cash reflected on the balance sheet
under the caption "Other Assets."

     NOTES RECEIVABLE

  The carrying amount approximates fair value for the notes receivable. The fair
value is estimated as the net present value of cash flows that would be received
on the notes over the remaining term of the notes using current market interest
rates rather than stated interest rates.

     LONG-TERM DEBT

  The carrying amount of the Senior Credit Facility approximates fair value
since the Senior Credit Facility was recently renegotiated at market rates. The
carrying amount of mortgage notes approximates their values based on the net
present value of cash flows that would be paid on each note over the remaining
note term using the Company's current incremental borrowing rate rather than the
stated interest rates on the notes.

19.  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 for skilled
nursing facilities over the next five years, primarily through the
implementation of a Medicare prospective payment system for skilled nursing
facility services. While the methodology for the prospective payment rates have
been generally established, actual rates have not been released.

                                     F-21
<PAGE>

  Management believes that, due to the cost structure at its facilities 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.

Effective April 1, 1998 regulations were adopted by HealthCare Financing
Administration, which temporarily changes the basis of reimbursement for
contract therapy services including physical therapy, respiratory therapy,
occupational therapy and speech language pathology. During 1997, the Company
derived 7% of its revenue from third-party contract therapy services. 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 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 and changes in the method
of delivering such services. 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 adverse effect on
the Company.

20.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In the fourth quarter of 1997, Centennial adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", (SFAS No. 128).  Prior year
amounts have been restated in accordance with SFAS No. 128.  Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing income applicable to common stock by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings
per share is computed similarly but reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if options were exercised or convertible securities were converted into
common stock. The assumption of the conversion of Series A and B Preferred Stock
was anti-dilutive during 1996. The accretion and dividends accrued on Series A
and B Preferred Stock and the accretion and dividends on Series C Preferred
Stock was deducted from net income in the computation of net income applicable
to common stock in 1997 and 1996. The following table calculates basic earnings
per share and diluted earnings per share at December 31:

  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".  Both Statements are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company has
not yet determined the effect, if any, of these statements on its consolidated
financial statements.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  In January 1998, the Company signed management contracts for six skilled
nursing facilities located in North Carolina, totaling 837 licensed available
beds.  Also in January 1998, the Centennial signed a management contract for a
59-bed acute care hospital in Northern Florida.

Proforma also excludes the extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt
recorded in the third quarter of 1997.
