condensed basis; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows for the interim periods presented although the results shown for the
interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The condensed balance sheet data as of
June 30, 1997 is derived from audited financial statements; certain line items
have been  combined or condensed in their presentation herein.

of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.


NOTE C - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS

Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. was incorporated in 1996. It completed an
initial public offering of its common stock in May, 1997 during which 1,125,000
shares of common stock at $5 per share and 1,940,625 common stock warrants at
$.10 per warrant were issued resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $4.1
million. Upon completion of this offering, the Company became the successor to
Lexington Health Care Group, LLC, a limited liability company ("LLC").  The
business combination was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under
common control, in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, using LLC's
historical cost basis.

                 (Information with respect to September 30, 1997 and
         for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited)
                                           
NOTE C - REORGANIZATION, PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for
the period prior to the reorganization reflect the accounts and operations of
LLC and adjustment has been made to give effect to the reorganization resulting
in the restatement of certain stockholders' equity accounts.

The Company acquired in May 1997, simultaneously with the closing of the public
offering, all of the common stock of BALZ and PRN. On the basis of a pro forma
consolidation of the results of operations as if these acquisitions had taken
place at the beginning of fiscal year 1997, consolidated total revenues would
have been $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. 

Nursing Home Acquisitions

On July 1, 1997, Lexington Highgreen Holding, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc.) purchased substantially all of the assets of
two skilled nursing facilities in Connecticut, Greenwood Health Center and
Highland Acres Extend-a-Care Center from Beverly Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly").
Before the sale of the two nursing facilities, Beverly had operated 315 licensed
beds at these two facilities. The Company will operate 225 beds; it has an
agreement with an unrelated party to sell 50 beds for approximately $1,500,000
and has returned 40 beds to the State of Connecticut.

The entire transaction was financed by a $6.8 million mortgage. Beverly has
agreed to pay a $2.5 million operating subsidy to the Company over five years,
bringing the net cost of the transaction to the Company to $4.3 million.

On the basis of a pro forma consolidation of the results of operations as if the
acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 1997, consolidated
net revenues would have been $11,943,000 for the first three months of fiscal
1997. Consolidated pro forma net loss would have been $(521,000) in the first
three months of fiscal 1997, and pro forma net loss per share would have been
$(.20) for the first three months of fiscal 1997. Such pro forma amounts reflect
the operating results produced by Beverly and are not necessarily indicative of
what the actual consolidated results of operations might have been had the
acquisitions been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1997.

NOTE D - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS; EARNINGS PER SHARE 

The Company has not yet adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The objective of SFAS No. 128 is to
simplify the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) and make them
comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier
application is not permitted. The Company does not expect implementation of SFAS
No. 128 to have any impact on its calculation of EPS.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                           
Overview

In May 1997, the Company reorganized its capital structure and completed an
initial public stock offering (the "Offering") which raised net proceeds of
approximately $4.1 million. In connection with the Offering, the Company
acquired two healthcare businesses  -  a medical supplies company and a home
health agency. In the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company expanded its
nursing home operations with two additional facilities, which were acquired on
July 1, 1997.

The Company believes that the demand for long-term care and specialty medical
services will increase substantially over the next decade due primarily to
favorable demographic trends, advances in medical technology and emphasis on
healthcare cost containment. At the same time, government restrictions and high
construction and start-up costs are expected to limit the supply of long-term
care facilities. In addition, the Company anticipates that recent trends toward
industry consolidation will continue and will provide future acquisition
opportunities.

The Company's operating strategy is to increase Facility profitability levels,
through aggressive marketing and by offering rehabilitation therapies and other
specialized services; adhering to strict cost standards at the Facility level
while providing effective patient care and containing corporate overhead
expenses; and becoming a fully integrated health network whereby the Company
will market medical products and supplies, rehabilitative services,
institutional pharmaceutical services and nursing services to affiliated and
non-affiliated nursing homes and hospitals, as well as patients at home.

By concentrating its facilities and ancillary service operations within a
selected geographic region, the Company's strategy is to achieve operating
efficiencies through economies of scale, reduced corporate overhead, more
effective management supervision and financial controls. In addition, the
Company believes that geographic concentration also enhances the Company's
ability to establish more effective relationships with referral sources and
regulatory authorities in the states where the Company operates. The Company's
strategy is to gradually expand services into additional states including
Massachusetts and New Jersey.

Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 1997 ("1997 period") vs. three months ended
September 30, 1996 ("1996 period")

For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company had total revenues 
of $13,931,000 and total expenses of $13,447,000. For the three months ended 
September 30, 1996, the Company had total revenues of $8,619,000 and total 
expenses of $8,656,000      
   
The Company had net income of $279,000 or $.07 per share  for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 after providing for income taxes of $205,000. The
Company had a net loss of  ($37,000) or ($.01) per share for the three months
ended September 30, 1996.
    
For the three months ended September 30, 1997 expenses consisted of salaries and
benefits of $10,161,000, food, medical and other supplies of $1,158,000, other
operating expenses (including rent of $635,000) of $1,445,000, corporate,
general and administrative expenses of $503,000 and interest expense of
$180,000. 

Revenues in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by $5,312,000 or 62%,
largely as a result of the acquisitions during May 1997 and July 1997. Of the
total increase, $4,637,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $675,000 was from increased rates, mix changes and
higher occupancy (4% increase)  in the existing nursing facilities including
$60,000 in other income.

Operating expenses in the 1997 period increased over the 1996 period by
$4,791,000 or 55%, largely as a result of the acquisitions noted above. Of the
total cost increase, $4,303,000 pertained to the nursing homes and healthcare
businesses acquired and $488,000 was from increased existing-facility and
corporate, general and administrative costs. The increase in existing nursing
home costs was attributable to higher salaries and benefits including additional
nursing, dietary, and housekeeping staffing (as a result of higher occupancy and
wage increases), higher therapy costs and occupancy-driven higher operating
expenses. Interest increased by $154,000  mostly as a result of the new mortgage
on the facilities acquired in July.

Income taxes were provided in the 1997 period on pre-tax income of $484,000; the
combined federal and state effective tax rate was 42%. No income taxes were
provided in the 1996 period since there was a loss and the Company was operated
as an LLC at that time.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                           
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its formation in 1995, the Company has primarily financed its operations
through operating revenues, borrowings from the prior operator of the Facilities
and other private lenders (including stockholders), by financing its accounts
receivable, and through a public offering of its common stock which raised net
proceeds of approximately $4.1 million.

In July 1997, the Company borrowed $6.8 million in connection with the
acquisition of land, buildings, bed licenses and operating assets of the two
nursing homes acquired. Interest is payable at 10% over the 20 year term of the
mortgage. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company also received an
operating subsidy of $2.5 million payable over five years.

In August 1997, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (at
prime plus .50%) from a bank, which is secured by its accounts receivable and
other assets. Through September 30, 1997 this line of credit had not been
utilized, but it has subsequently been utilized in November, 1997 with a
borrowing of $1,000,000 for working capital purposes. 

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company expended
approximately $67,000 in capital improvements at its leased Facilities. Any
capital improvements made to the Facilities belong to the landlord. However, any
amounts expended for capital improvements are generally recouped in their
entirety through the reimbursement system.

At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,080,000,
receivables of $8,021,000, inventories of $448,000 and prepaid expenses and
other current assets of $619,000. At September 30,1997 the Company had $1.5
million in acquisition costs associated with bed licenses which are under
contract for sale in November, 1997. Accounts receivable increased by $1,202,000
since June 30, 1997 due mostly to the nursing homes acquired in July.

Working capital at September 30, 1997 was $3,431,000 as compared with working
capital of $287,000 at June 30, 1997. The principal reasons for the increase are
profitable operations in the first quarter of the year, the bed license to be
sold, and the operating subsidy receivable obtained in connection with the
nursing home acquisitions. Current liabilities at September 30, 1997 consist
principally of trade accounts payable, estimated third-party settlements due
Medicare and Medicaid, notes and capital leases payable, accrued payroll and
related taxes, income taxes, and other accrued expenses.
