KINDRED HEALTHCARE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Kindred Healthcare, Inc. ("Kindred" or the "Company") provides long-term
healthcare services primarily through the operation of nursing centers and
hospitals. At June 30, 2002, the Company's health services division operated
288 nursing centers in 32 states and a rehabilitation therapy business. The
Company's hospital division operated 63 hospitals in 24 states and an
institutional pharmacy business.

On April 1, 2002, the Company expanded its national network of long-term
acute care hospitals by acquiring all of the outstanding stock of Specialty
Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Specialty"), a private operator of six long-term
acute care hospitals (the "Specialty Acquisition"). The operating results of
Specialty have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Company since the date of acquisition.

Reorganization

On April 20, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries emerged from proceedings
under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code")
pursuant to the terms of the Company's Fourth Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization"), as modified at the confirmation
hearing by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
"Bankruptcy Court"). In connection with its emergence, the Company changed its
name to Kindred Healthcare, Inc.

After filing for protection under the Bankruptcy Code on September 13, 1999,
the Company operated its businesses as a debtor-in-possession subject to the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7,
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code"
("SOP 90-7") and generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going
concern, which assumed that assets would be realized and liabilities would be
discharged in the normal course of business.

In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company reflected the
terms of the Plan of Reorganization in its consolidated financial statements by
adopting the fresh-start accounting provisions of SOP 90-7. Under fresh-start
accounting, a new reporting entity is deemed to be created and the recorded
amounts of assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their estimated fair
values. For accounting purposes, the fresh-start adjustments were recorded in
the Company's consolidated financial statements as of April 1, 2001. Since
fresh-start accounting materially changed the amounts previously recorded in
the Company's consolidated financial statements, a black line separates the
post-emergence financial data from the pre-emergence financial data to signify
the difference in the basis of presentation of the financial statements for
each respective entity.

As used in this Form 10-Q, the term "Predecessor Company" refers to the
Company and its operations for periods prior to April 1, 2001, while the term
"Reorganized Company" is used to describe the Company and its operations for
periods thereafter.

Comparability of Financial Information

While the adoption of fresh-start accounting as of April 1, 2001 materially
changed the amounts previously recorded in the consolidated financial
statements of the Predecessor Company, management believes that business
segment operating income of the Predecessor Company is generally comparable to
that of the

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

Comparability of Financial Information (Continued)

Reorganized Company. However, capital costs (rent, interest, depreciation and
amortization) of the Predecessor Company that were based on pre-petition
contractual agreements and historical costs are not comparable to those of the
Reorganized Company. In addition, the reported financial position and cash
flows of the Predecessor Company for periods prior to April 1, 2001 generally
are not comparable to those of the Reorganized Company.

In connection with the implementation of fresh-start accounting, the Company
recorded an extraordinary gain of $422.8 million from the restructuring of its
debt in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Reorganization. Other
significant adjustments also were recorded to reflect the provisions of the
Plan of Reorganization and the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the
Reorganized Company as of April 1, 2001. For accounting purposes, these
transactions have been reflected in the operating results of the Predecessor
Company for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146 ("SFAS 146"),
"Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 provides guidance
related to the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are
associated with exit and disposal activities, including costs related to
terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and certain involuntary
termination benefits. SFAS 146 supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity" ("EITF No. 94-3") and requires liabilities
associated with exit and disposal activities to be expensed as incurred. SFAS
146 will be effective for exit and disposal activities of the Company that are
initiated after December 31, 2002.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of" and amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30
("APB 30"), "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business," by requiring that long-lived assets that
are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair
value less the cost of disposal. SFAS 144 eliminated the APB 30 requirements
that discontinued operations be measured at net realizable value and that
estimated future operating losses be included under "discontinued operations"
in the financial statements before they occur. This new pronouncement became
effective for the Company on January 1, 2002.

In addition, the FASB issued in June 2001 SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS 142"),
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which establishes the accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets following their recognition. SFAS 142
applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets whether acquired singly, as
part of a group, or in a business combination. The new pronouncement provides
that goodwill should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment
annually using a fair-value based approach. In addition, SFAS 142 provides that
intangible assets other than goodwill should be amortized over their useful
lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with existing guidelines. SFAS
142 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. In conformity with the
provisions of SFAS 142, the Company performed a transitional impairment test
for goodwill as of January 1, 2002. No write-down of the carrying value of
goodwill was required.

Other Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles or those normally required in annual reports on Form
10-K. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the Company's customary accounting practices
and the provisions of SOP 90-7. Management believes that the financial
information included herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of interim results and, except for the items described in Notes 2
and 8 and those recorded in connection with fresh-start accounting, all such
adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

NOTE 2 - REORGANIZATION ITEMS AND UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS

Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2002 included income
of $5.5 million resulting from changes in estimates for accrued professional
and administrative costs related to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy.

Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2002 also included a
$525,000 lease termination charge for an unprofitable hospital.

NOTE 3 - SPECIALTY ACQUISITION

On April 1, 2002, the Company completed the Specialty Acquisition. The
transaction was financed through the use of existing cash. A summary of the
Specialty Acquisition follows (in thousands):



Fair value of assets acquired................................. $ 62,882
Fair value of liabilities assumed............................. (16,489)
--------
Net assets acquired........................................ 46,393
Cash acquired................................................. (842)
--------
Net cash paid.............................................. $ 45,551
========


The cost of the Specialty Acquisition resulted from negotiations with the
sellers that were based upon both the historical and expected future cash flows
of the enterprise. The purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of
identifiable net assets acquired aggregated $28.6 million. Additional
adjustments to the purchase price may occur through April 1, 2003 as a result
of the settlement of acquired working capital balances and contingent
consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

The operating results of Specialty had no material effect on consolidated
net income for the second quarter of 2002.

NOTE 4 - PRO FORMA INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information gives

NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 11, 2002, the Company announced that it had amended the terms of
its revolving credit facility and senior secured notes. The more significant
changes to these agreements allow the Company to make acquisitions and
investments in healthcare facilities up to an aggregate amount of $130 million
compared to $30 million before the amendments. In addition, the amendments
allow the Company to borrow up to $45 million under the revolving credit
facility to finance future acquisitions and investments in healthcare
facilities. The amount of credit under the revolving credit facility, which was
reduced to $75 million in connection with the Company's equity offering in the
fourth quarter of 2001, was restored to the $120 million level that was in
effect prior to the offering. The amendments also allow the Company to pay cash
dividends or repurchase its common stock in limited amounts based upon certain
annual liquidity calculations. Finally, the Company agreed to certain revised
financial covenants, none of which are expected to materially affect its
financial flexibility. Other material terms of the credit agreements, including
maturities, repayment terms and rates of interest, were unchanged.

On May 30, 2001, the Company prepaid the outstanding balance in full
satisfaction of its obligation under a loan repayment agreement with the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), resulting in an
extraordinary gain of $1.4 million.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On April 16, 2002, the stockholders of the Company approved an increase in
the number of authorized shares of common stock from 39,000,000 to 175,000,000.
The stockholders also approved an additional 1,200,000 shares of common stock
that could be issued under the Company's incentive compensation plans.

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION

Summary descriptions of various significant legal and regulatory activities
follow.

The Company's subsidiary, formerly named TheraTx, Incorporated ("TheraTx"),
is a plaintiff in a declaratory judgment action entitled TheraTx, Incorporated
v. James W. Duncan, Jr., et al., No. 1:95-CV-3193, filed in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The defendants asserted
counterclaims against TheraTx under breach of contract, securities fraud,
negligent misrepresentation and other fraud theories for allegedly not
performing as promised under a merger agreement related to TheraTx's purchase
of a company called PersonaCare, Inc. and for allegedly failing to inform the
defendants/counterclaimants prior to the merger that TheraTx's possible
acquisition of Southern Management Services, Inc. might cause the suspension of
TheraTx's shelf registration under relevant rules of the Commission. The court
granted summary judgment for the defendants/counterclaimants and ruled that
TheraTx breached the shelf registration provision in the merger agreement, but
dismissed the defendants' remaining counterclaims. Additionally, the court
ruled after trial that defendants/counterclaimants were entitled to damages and
prejudgment interest in the amount of approximately $1.3 million and attorneys'
fees and other litigation expenses of approximately $700,000. The Company and
the defendants/counterclaimants both appealed the court's rulings. The United
States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the "Eleventh Circuit")
affirmed the trial court's rulings in TheraTx's favor, with the exception of
the damages award, and certified the question of the proper calculation of
damages under Delaware law to the Delaware Supreme Court. The Delaware Supreme
Court issued an opinion on June 1, 2001, which sets forth a rule for
determining such damages but did not calculate any actual damages. On June 25,
2001, the Eleventh Circuit remanded the action to the trial court to render a
decision consistent with the Delaware Supreme Court's ruling. On July 24, 2001,
the defendants filed a Notice of Bankruptcy Stay in the trial court. The
Company is defending the action vigorously.

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION (Continued)


On August 13, 2001, the Company and TheraTx filed an Objection and Complaint
in an action entitled Vencor, Inc. and TheraTx Inc. v. James W. Duncan, et al.,
Adversary Proceeding No. 01-6117 (MFW), in the Bankruptcy Court. The complaint
seeks to subordinate and disallow the defendants' bankruptcy claim or,
alternatively, to reduce the claim by and recover from the defendants a
preferential payment made by the debtors to the defendants. The complaint also
seeks an injunction against any efforts by the defendants to enforce the
judgment ultimately granted in the above related litigation pending in the
Northern District of Georgia.

The Company is pursuing various claims against private insurance companies
who issued Medicare supplement insurance policies to individuals who became
patients of the Company's hospitals. After the patients' Medicare benefits are
exhausted, the insurance companies become liable to pay the insureds' bills
pursuant to the terms of these policies. The Company has filed numerous
collection actions against various of these insurers to collect the difference
between what Medicare would have paid and the hospitals' usual and customary
charges. These disputes arise from differences in interpretation of the policy
provisions and federal and state laws governing such policies. Various courts
have issued various rulings on the different issues, some of which have been
adverse to the Company and most of which have been appealed. The Company
intends to continue to pursue these claims vigorously.

A class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al., was
filed on December 24, 1997 in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky (Civil Action No. 3-97CV-8354). The class action claims
were brought by an alleged stockholder of the Company's predecessor, Ventas,
Inc. ("Ventas"), against the Company and Ventas and certain of the Company's
and Ventas's current and former executive officers and directors. The complaint
alleges that the Company, Ventas and certain of the Company's and Ventas's
current and former executive officers during a specified time frame violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), by, among other things, issuing to the investing public a series of
false and misleading statements concerning Ventas's then current operations and
the inherent value of its common stock. The complaint further alleges that as a
result of these purported false and misleading statements concerning Ventas's
revenues and successful acquisitions, the price of its common stock was
artificially inflated. In particular, the complaint alleges that the defendants
issued false and misleading financial statements during the first, second and
third calendar quarters of 1997 which misrepresented and understated the impact
that changes in Medicare reimbursement policies would have on Ventas's core
services and profitability. The complaint further alleges that the defendants
issued a series of materially false statements concerning the purportedly
successful integration of Ventas's acquisitions and prospective earnings per
share for 1997 and 1998 which the defendants knew lacked any reasonable basis
and were not being achieved. The suit seeks damages in an amount to be proven
at trial, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorneys' fees,
expert witness fees and other costs, and any extraordinary equitable and/or
injunctive relief permitted by law or equity to assure that the plaintiff has
an effective remedy. In December 1998, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss
the case. The court converted the defendants' motion to dismiss into a motion
for summary judgment and granted summary judgment as to all defendants. The
plaintiff appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit (the "Sixth Circuit"). On April 24, 2000, the Sixth Circuit
affirmed the district court's dismissal of the action on the grounds that the
plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On July
14, 2000, the Sixth Circuit granted the plaintiff's petition for a rehearing en
banc. On May 31, 2001, the Sixth Circuit issued its en banc decision reversing
the trial court's dismissal of the complaint. The defendants filed a Petition
for Certiorari seeking review of the Sixth Circuit's decision in the United
States Supreme Court on September 27, 2001. The parties entered into a
stipulation and agreement of settlement of this action on December 26, 2001,
which was subject to approval by the federal district court. The settlement
payment to the certified class will be $3 million, which will include the costs
of administration and plaintiffs' attorney fees, plus interest, and will be
paid by the defendants' directors and officers insurance carrier. On May 13,
2002, the federal

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION (Continued)

district court conducted a fairness hearing and approved the settlement. In
June 2002, the federal district court's order approving the settlement and
dismissing the lawsuit became non-appealable, and the United States Supreme
Court dismissed the Petition for Certiorari.

A shareholder derivative suit entitled Thomas G. White on behalf of Vencor,
Inc. and Ventas, Inc. v. W. Bruce Lunsford, et al., Case No. 98CI03669, was
filed on July 2, 1998 in the Jefferson County, Kentucky, Circuit Court. The
suit was brought on behalf of the Company and Ventas against certain current
and former executive officers and directors of the Company and Ventas. The
complaint alleges that the defendants damaged the Company and Ventas by
engaging in violations of the securities laws, engaging in insider trading,
fraud and securities fraud and damaging the Company's reputation and that of
Ventas. The plaintiff asserts that such actions were taken deliberately, in bad
faith and constitute breaches of the defendants' duties of loyalty and due
care. The complaint is based on substantially similar assertions to those made
in the class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al.,
discussed above. The suit seeks unspecified damages, interest, punitive
damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs, and
any extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief permitted by law or equity
to assure that the Company and Ventas have an effective remedy. The Company
believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to
defend this action vigorously.

In connection with the Company's spin-off from Ventas in 1998, liabilities
arising from various legal proceedings and other actions were assumed by the
Company and the Company agreed to indemnify Ventas against any losses,
including any costs or expenses, it may incur arising out of or in connection
with such legal proceedings and other actions. The indemnification provided by
the Company also covers losses, including costs and expenses, which may arise
from any future claims asserted against Ventas based on the former healthcare
operations of Ventas. In connection with the Company's indemnification
obligation, the Company assumed the defense of various legal proceedings and
other actions. Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Company agreed to continue
to fulfill its indemnification obligations arising from the spin-off.

The Company is a party to certain legal actions and regulatory
investigations arising in the normal course of the Company's business. The
Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and
regulatory investigations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the U.S.
Department of Justice, CMS or other state and federal regulatory agencies will
not initiate additional investigations related to the Company's businesses in
the future, nor can there be any assurance that the resolution of any
litigation or investigations, either individually or in the aggregate, would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or financial position. In addition, the above litigation and
investigations (as well as future litigation and investigations) are expected
to consume the time and attention of management and may have a disruptive
effect upon the Company's operations.

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 20, 2001, the Company announced that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
("PwC") had advised the Company that certain non-audit services provided to the
Company during PwC's engagement as the Company's independent accountants by a
subsidiary of PwC in connection with the Company's efforts to sell an equity
investment raised an issue as to PwC's independence. PwC disclosed the
situation to the Commission. On July 17, 2002, the Commission announced that it
had reached a settlement with PwC on this and other matters. As a result of the
settlement, the Company believes that this issue will have no impact on the
Company's past or future filings with the Commission or other third parties.

General

The business segment data in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the following
discussion and analysis.

The Company provides long-term healthcare services primarily through the
operation of nursing centers and hospitals. At June 30, 2002, the Company's
health services division operated 288 nursing centers (37,637 licensed beds) in
32 states and a rehabilitation therapy business. The Company's hospital
division operated 63 hospitals (5,276 licensed beds) in 24 states and an
institutional pharmacy business.

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

General (Continued)

On April 1, 2002, the Company completed the Specialty Acquisition. See Note
3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On April 20, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries emerged from the
proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to the
terms of the Plan of Reorganization.

From September 13, 1999 until April 20, 2001, the Company operated its
businesses as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the
Company were prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7 and generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumed that assets
would be realized and liabilities would be discharged in the normal course of
business.

In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company reflected the
terms of the Plan of Reorganization in its consolidated financial statements by
adopting the fresh-start accounting provisions of SOP 90-7. Under fresh-start
accounting, a new reporting entity is deemed to be created and the recorded
amounts of assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their estimated fair
values. For accounting purposes, the fresh-start adjustments were recorded in
the Company's consolidated financial statements as of April 1, 2001. Since
fresh-start accounting materially changed the amounts previously recorded in
the Company's consolidated financial statements, a black line separates the
post-emergence financial data from the pre-emergence financial data to signify
the difference in the basis of preparation of the financial statements for each
respective entity.

Comparability of Financial Information

While the adoption of fresh-start accounting as of April 1, 2001 materially
changed the amounts previously recorded in the consolidated financial
statements of the Predecessor Company, management believes that business
segment operating income of the Predecessor Company is generally comparable to
that of the Reorganized Company. However, capital costs (rent, interest,
depreciation and amortization) of the Predecessor Company that were based on
pre-petition contractual agreements and historical costs are not comparable to
those of the Reorganized Company. In addition, the reported financial position
and cash flows of the Predecessor Company for periods prior to April 1, 2001
generally are not comparable to those of the Reorganized Company.

In connection with the implementation of fresh-start accounting, the Company
recorded an extraordinary gain of $422.8 million from the restructuring of its
debt in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Reorganization. Other
significant adjustments also were recorded to reflect the provisions of the
Plan of Reorganization and the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the
Reorganized Company as of April 1, 2001. For accounting purposes, these
transactions have been reflected in the operating results of the Predecessor
Company for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

Regulatory Changes

The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Budget Act") contained extensive
changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs intended to reduce the projected
amount of increase in payments under those programs over a five year period.
Virtually all spending reductions were derived from reimbursements to providers
and changes in program components. The Budget Act has affected adversely the
revenues in each of the Company's operating divisions.

The Budget Act established a Medicare prospective payment system ("PPS") for
nursing centers for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998.
All of the Company's nursing centers adopted PPS on

18



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

Regulatory Changes (Continued)

July 1, 1998. During the first three years, the per diem rates for nursing
centers were based on a blend of facility-specific costs and federal rates.
Effective July 1, 2001, the per diem rates are based solely on federal rates.
The payments received under PPS cover substantially all services for Medicare
patients including all ancillary services, such as respiratory therapy,
physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and certain covered
pharmaceuticals.

The Budget Act also reduced payments made to the Company's hospitals by
reducing incentive payments pursuant to the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"), allowable costs for capital expenditures
and bad debts, and payments for services to patients transferred from a general
acute care hospital. These reductions have had a material adverse impact on
hospital revenues. In addition, these reductions also may affect adversely the
hospital division's ability to develop or acquire additional free-standing,
long-term acute care hospitals in the future.

Under PPS, the volume of ancillary services provided per patient day to
nursing center patients also has declined dramatically. Medicare reimbursements
to nursing centers under PPS include substantially all services provided to
patients, including ancillary services. Prior to the implementation of PPS, the
costs of such services were reimbursed under cost-based reimbursement rules.
The decline in the demand for ancillary services since the implementation of
PPS was mostly attributable to efforts by nursing centers to reduce operating
costs. As a result, many nursing centers have elected to provide ancillary
services to their patients through internal staff. In response to PPS and a
significant decline in the demand for ancillary services, the Company realigned
its former ancillary services division in 1999 by integrating the physical
rehabilitation, speech and occupational therapy businesses into the health
services division and assigning the institutional pharmacy business to the
hospital division. The Company's respiratory therapy and other ancillary
businesses were discontinued.

Various legislative and regulatory actions have provided a measure of relief
from the impact of the Budget Act. Effective April 1, 2000, the Balanced Budget
Refinement Act (the "BBRA") (a) implemented a 20% upward adjustment in the
payment rates for the care of higher acuity patients and (b) allowed nursing
centers to transition more rapidly to the federal payment rates. The BBRA also
imposed a two-year moratorium on certain therapy limitations for skilled
nursing center patients covered under Medicare Part B. Effective October 1,
2000, the BBRA increased all PPS payment categories by 4% through September 30,
2002.

The 20% upward adjustment in the payment rates for the care of higher acuity
patients under the BBRA will remain in effect until a revised Resource
Utilization Grouping ("RUG") payment system is established by CMS. On April 23,
2002, CMS announced that it will further delay the establishment of a revised
RUG classification system. Accordingly, the 20% upward adjustment for certain
higher acuity RUG categories set forth in the BBRA will be extended until the
RUG refinements are enacted. Nursing center revenues associated with the 20%
upward adjustment approximated $10 million in the second quarter of 2002.

In December 2000, the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Child Health Insurance
Program Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 ("BIPA") was enacted to
provide up to $35 billion in additional funding to the Medicare and Medicaid
programs over the next five years. Under BIPA, the nursing component for each
RUG category increased by 16.66% over the existing rates for skilled nursing
care for the period April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. BIPA also
provided some relief from scheduled reductions to the annual inflation
adjustments to the RUG payment rates through September 2002. In addition, BIPA
extended the two-year moratorium on therapy limitations for skilled nursing
center patients under the BBRA through December 31, 2002.

19



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

Regulatory Changes (Continued)

In addition, BIPA slightly increased payments for inpatient services and
TEFRA incentive payments for long-term acute care hospitals. Allowable costs
for bad debts also were increased by 15%. Both of these provisions became
effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after September 1, 2001.

Despite the recent legislation and regulatory actions discussed above,
Medicare revenues recorded under PPS in the Company's health services division
are less than the cost-based reimbursement it received before the enactment of
the Budget Act. In addition, the recent legislation did not impact materially
the reductions in Medicare revenues received by the Company's hospitals as a
result of the Budget Act. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
increased revenues from BIPA and certain provisions of the BBRA will continue
after September 30, 2002.

There continue to be legislative and regulatory proposals that would impose
more limitations on government and private payments to providers of healthcare
services. Congress has directed the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (the "Secretary") to develop a prospective payment system
applicable specifically to long-term acute care hospitals. On March 22, 2002,
CMS issued proposed regulations for a prospective payment system covering
long-term acute care providers. The proposed effective date for the new rules
is October 1, 2002. Because of the Company's Medicare cost reporting periods,
this new payment system is not expected to impact the Company's hospitals until
September 1, 2003. If the Secretary is unable to implement a prospective
payment system specific to long-term acute care hospitals by October 1, 2002,
Congress has directed the Secretary to implement, as of such date, a
prospective payment system for long-term acute care hospitals based upon
existing hospital diagnosis-related groups modified where feasible to account
for resource use of long-term acute care hospital patients. The Company cannot
predict the content or timing of the final prospective payment regulations or
their impact on the Company's hospitals. There can be no assurance that such
regulations will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial position.

By repealing the Boren Amendment, the Budget Act eased existing impediments
on the ability of states to reduce their Medicaid reimbursement levels. Many
states are considering or have enacted measures that are designed to reduce
their Medicaid expenditures and to make certain changes to private healthcare
insurance. Some states also are considering regulatory changes that include a
moratorium on the designation of additional long-term care hospitals.
Additionally, regulatory changes in the Medicaid reimbursement system
applicable to the Company's hospitals and pharmacies are being considered.
There also are legislative proposals including cost caps and the establishment
of Medicaid prospective payment systems for nursing centers.

The Company could be affected adversely by the continuing efforts of
governmental and private third-party payors to contain healthcare costs. There
can be no assurance that payments under governmental and private third-party
payor programs will remain at levels comparable to present levels or will be
sufficient to cover the costs allocable to patients eligible for reimbursement
pursuant to such programs. In addition, there can be no assurance that
facilities operated by the Company, or the provision of services and supplies
by the Company, will meet the requirements for participation in such programs.

There can be no assurance that future healthcare legislation or other
changes in the administration or interpretation of governmental healthcare
programs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial position.

Results of Operations

Second Quarter 2002 compared to Second Quarter 2001

Health Services Division - Nursing Centers

Revenues increased 4% to $461 million in the second quarter of 2002 from
$444 million in the same quarter of 2001. Average daily patient census was
relatively unchanged from last year. The increase in revenues was attributable
to increased Medicare and Medicaid funding and price increases to private
payors. Medicaid revenues per patient day increased 3% in the second quarter of
2002, while private rates grew 1% compared to the second quarter of 2001.
Medicare revenues per patient day grew 4% to $358 in the second quarter of 2002
compared to $344 in the second quarter a year ago. Funding received by the
Company's nursing center under the provisions of the BBRA approximated $15
million in the second quarter of 2002 and $11 million in the second quarter of
2001. Revenues associated with BIPA aggregated approximately $10 million in the
second quarter of both periods.

Nursing center operating income was $81 million for the second quarter of
2002 compared to $79 million for the second quarter last year. Operating
margins for the second quarter of 2002 were 17.6%, relatively unchanged from
17.7% last year. Aggregate operating costs increased 4% in the second quarter
of 2002 compared to the same quarter last year. Labor costs in the second
quarter of 2002 grew approximately 4% primarily as a result of wage pressures,
while employee health benefit costs rose to $17 million in the second quarter
of 2002 compared to $12 million last year, and professional liability costs
increased to $15 million from $14 million in the second quarter of 2001.

Health Services Division - Rehabilitation Services

Revenues declined 7% to $9 million for the second quarter of 2002. Operating
income totaled $2 million for both periods. While the health services division
will continue to provide rehabilitation services to nursing center customers,
revenues related to these services may continue to decline.

Health Services Division - Other Ancillary Services

Other ancillary services refers to certain ancillary businesses (primarily
respiratory therapy) that were discontinued as part of the realignment of the
Company's former ancillary services business in a prior year.

Hospital Division - Hospitals

Revenues increased 17% to $323 million in the second quarter of 2002 from
$276 million in the same period a year ago. The Specialty Acquisition generated
approximately $21 million in revenues during the second quarter of 2002.
Patient days increased 14% from the same period a year ago. On a same-store
basis, revenues increased 8% and patient days increased 3%. The increase in
same-store revenues was primarily attributable to growth in volumes and a 4%
growth in aggregate revenues per patient day, most of which was attributable to
increased Medicare funding. Same-store revenues per patient day from private
payors increased 2% from the second quarter of 2001.

Hospital operating income totaled $62 million in the second quarter of 2002
compared to $56 million last year. The Specialty Acquisition generated
approximately $3 million in operating income during the second quarter of 2002.
Hospital operating margins declined to 19.3% in the second quarter of 2002 from
20.2% in the second quarter of 2001, primarily as a result of growth in labor
and benefit costs. On a per patient day basis, labor and benefit costs
increased 7% to $544 in the second quarter of 2002 from $508 in the second
quarter of 2001. The rise in labor and benefit costs was primarily attributable
to increased rates of pay necessary to attract and retain qualified nurses and
other healthcare professionals and the increased use of contract labor.
Hospital operating margins may continue to decline in the future as a result of
these wage and benefit cost pressures. Professional liability costs increased
to $3 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $1 million in the same period
last year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Hospital Division - Pharmacy

Revenues increased 10% to $62 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared
to $57 million a year ago. The increase resulted primarily from growth in the
number of nursing center customers and price increases. At June 30, 2002, the
Company provided pharmacy services to nursing centers containing 57,700
licensed beds, including 30,600 licensed beds operated by the Company. At June
30, 2001, the Company provided pharmacy services to nursing centers containing
51,900 licensed beds, including 29,800 licensed beds operated by the Company.

Pharmacy operating income totaled $6 million for both periods. Despite
increases in revenues, pharmacy operating margins declined to 9.8% in the
second quarter of 2002 compared to 10.7% last year. The cost of goods sold as a
percentage of revenues increased to 61.3% in the second quarter of 2002 from
60.9% in 2001. Operating margins also were negatively impacted by an increase
in the provision for doubtful accounts in the second quarter of 2002 compared
to the same period of 2001.

Corporate Overhead

Operating income for the Company's operating divisions excludes allocation
of corporate overhead. These costs aggregated $30 million in the second quarter
of 2002 and $27 million a year ago. As a percentage of revenues (before
eliminations), the overhead ratio was 3.6% in the second quarter of 2002
compared to 3.5% in the same period of 2001.

Capital Costs

Capital costs for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 reflected the terms of
the Plan of Reorganization and included the effects of the Company's
restructured rent and debt obligations. Depreciation and amortization were
recorded based on asset carrying amounts that were adjusted in fresh-start
accounting to reflect fair value on April 1, 2001.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2002, substantially all of which
relates to the Company's floating rate senior secured notes, aggregated $4
million. The reduction in interest costs from last year's second quarter
resulted from prepayments of long-term debt and reductions in interest rates.
At June 30, 2002, the effective interest rate of the senior secured notes was
5.7%.

Investment income related to the Company's excess cash balances and
insurance subsidiary investments totaled $3 million in the second quarter of
both 2002 and 2001. Investment income for the second quarter of 2002 included
approximately $1 million related to the release of surety bond collateral.

As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142, which, among other
things, required that goodwill should no longer be amortized effective January
1, 2002. The adoption of this new pronouncement increased second quarter 2002
net income by approximately $1.8 million.

Consolidated Results

The Company reported pretax income of $40 million for the second quarter of
2002 compared to $29 million for the second quarter of 2001. Income from
operations in the second quarter of 2002 aggregated $24 million compared to $16
million in the second quarter of 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Consolidated Results (Continued)

Operating results for both periods included certain unusual items. For the
second quarter of 2002, operating results included income of $5.5 million ($3.4
million net of tax) resulting from changes in estimates for accrued
professional and administrative costs related to the Company's emergence from
bankruptcy. The Company also recorded a lease termination charge of $0.5
million ($0.3 million net of tax) in the second quarter of 2002 related to an
unprofitable hospital. Operating results for the second quarter of 2001
reflected an extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt aggregating $1.4
million.

Liquidity

Cash flows from operations before reorganization items aggregated $93
million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $65 million for the same
period a year ago. Operating cash flows in both periods were sufficient to fund
the Company's routine capital expenditures. During both periods, the Company
maintained excess cash balances. In the second quarter of 2002, approximately
$46 million of these balances were used to finance the Specialty Acquisition.
In the second quarter last year, excess cash balances were used to prepay
long-term debt and fund reorganization costs.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $212 million at June 30, 2002. Based upon
existing cash levels, expected operating cash flows and capital spending, and
the availability of borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Company
believes that it has the necessary financial resources to satisfy its expected
liquidity needs on both a short-term and long-term basis.

On April 11, 2002, the Company announced that it had amended the terms of
its revolving credit facility and senior secured notes. The more significant
changes to these agreements allow the Company to make acquisitions and
investments in healthcare facilities up to an aggregate amount of $130 million
compared to $30 million before the amendments. In addition, the amendments
allow the Company to borrow up to $45 million under the revolving credit
facility to finance future acquisitions and investments in healthcare
facilities. The amount of credit under the revolving credit facility, which was
reduced to $75 million in connection with the Company's equity offering in the
fourth quarter of 2001, was restored to the $120 million level that was in
effect prior to the offering. The amendments also allow the Company to pay cash
dividends or repurchase its common stock in limited amounts based upon certain
annual liquidity calculations. Finally, the Company agreed to certain revised
financial covenants, none of which are expected to materially affect its
financial flexibility. Other material terms of the credit agreements, including
maturities, repayment terms and rates of interest, were unchanged.

At June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the terms of its
revolving credit facility and senior secured notes.

Capital Resources

Including the Specialty Acquisition, capital expenditures totaled $65
million and $26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Routine capital expenditures could approximate $75 million in
2002. Management believes that its capital expenditure program is adequate to
improve and equip existing facilities.

Capital expenditures in both periods were financed primarily through
internally generated funds. At June 30, 2002, the estimated cost to complete
and equip construction in progress approximated $9 million.

The terms of the Company's revolving credit facility and senior secured
notes include certain covenants which limit the Company's annual capital
expenditures. In addition, these agreements limit the Company's ability to
transfer funds to the parent company, repurchase common stock or pay cash
dividends.

Other Information

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the Medicare
and Medicaid programs. In recent years, significant cost containment measures
enacted by Congress and certain state legislatures have limited the Company's
ability to recover its cost increases through increased pricing of its
healthcare services. Medicare revenues in the Company's nursing centers are
subject to fixed payments under PPS. Medicaid reimbursement rates in many
states in which the Company operates nursing centers also are based on fixed
payment systems. Generally, these rates are adjusted annually for inflation,
but may not reflect the actual increase in the costs of providing services. In
addition, by repealing the Boren Amendment, the Budget Act eased existing
impediments on the ability of states to reduce their Medicaid reimbursement
levels to the Company's nursing centers. Medicare revenues in the Company's
hospitals also have been reduced by the Budget Act.

Beginning in 2000, the BBRA provided a measure of relief to the Medicare
reimbursement reductions imposed by the Budget Act. Effective April 1, 2001,
BIPA provided additional Medicare reimbursement to the Company's nursing
centers and hospitals. The Company believes that the provisions of the BBRA and
BIPA will have a positive effect on its operating results in 2002, particularly
in the health services division. However, the 4% increase in all PPS payments
under the BBRA and the 16.66% increase in the skilled nursing care component of
each RUG category under BIPA are scheduled to expire on September 30, 2002.
There can be no assurance that these Medicare reimbursement increases will
continue after September 30, 2002.

Management believes that the Company's operating margins may continue to be
under pressure because of continuing regulatory scrutiny and growth in
operating expenses, particularly labor, employee benefits and professional
liability costs, in excess of increases in payments by third-party payors. In
addition, as a result of competitive pressures, the Company's ability to
maintain operating margins through price increases to private patients is
limited.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146 which provides guidance related to
the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with
exit and disposal activities, including costs related to terminating a contract
that is not a capital lease and certain involuntary termination benefits. SFAS
146 supersedes EITF No. 94-3 and requires liabilities associated with exit and
disposal activities to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 146 will be effective for
exit and disposal activities of the Company that are initiated after December
31, 2002.

Litigation

The Company is a party to certain material litigation. See Note 10 of the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk contains
"forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. The
information presented has been prepared using certain assumptions considered
reasonable in light of information currently available to the Company. Given
the unpredictability of interest rates as well as other factors, actual results
could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking
information.

The Company's only significant exposure to market risk relates to changes in
the London Interbank Offered Rate which affect the interest paid on its
borrowings.

The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents
principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected
maturity date.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Summary descriptions of various significant legal and regulatory activities
follow.

A class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al., was
filed on December 24, 1997 in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky (Civil Action No. 3-97CV-8354). The class action claims
were brought by an alleged stockholder of Ventas, against the Company and
Ventas and certain of the Company's and Ventas's current and former executive
officers and directors. The complaint alleges that the Company, Ventas and
certain of the Company's and Ventas's current and former executive officers
during a specified time frame violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, by, among other things, issuing to the investing public a series of false
and misleading statements concerning Ventas's then current operations and the
inherent value of its common stock. The complaint further alleges that as a
result of these purported false and misleading statements concerning Ventas's
revenues and successful acquisitions, the price of its common stock was
artificially inflated. In particular, the complaint alleges that the defendants
issued false and misleading financial statements during the first, second and
third calendar quarters of 1997 which misrepresented and understated the impact
that changes in Medicare reimbursement policies would have on Ventas's core
services and profitability. The complaint further alleges that the defendants
issued a series of materially false statements concerning the purportedly
successful integration of Ventas's acquisitions and prospective earnings per
share for 1997 and 1998 which the defendants knew lacked any reasonable basis
and were not being achieved. The suit seeks damages in an amount to be proven
at trial, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorneys' fees,
expert witness fees and other costs, and any extraordinary equitable and/or
injunctive relief permitted by law or equity to assure that the plaintiff has
an effective remedy. In December 1998, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss
the case. The court converted the defendants' motion to dismiss into a motion
for summary judgment and granted summary judgment as to all defendants. The
plaintiff appealed the ruling to the Sixth Circuit. On April 24, 2000, the
Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the action on the
grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief could be
granted. On July 14, 2000, the Sixth Circuit granted the plaintiff's petition
for a rehearing en banc. On May 31, 2001, the Sixth Circuit issued its en banc
decision reversing the trial court's dismissal of the complaint. The defendants
filed a Petition for Certiorari seeking review of the Sixth Circuit's decision
in the United States Supreme Court on September 27, 2001. The parties entered
into a stipulation and agreement of settlement of this action on December 26,
2001, which was subject to approval by the federal district court. The
settlement payment to the certified class will be $3 million, which will
include the costs of administration and plaintiffs' attorney fees, plus
interest, and will be paid by the defendants' directors and officers insurance
carrier. On May 13, 2002, the federal district court conducted a fairness
hearing and approved the settlement. In June 2002, the federal district court's
order approving the settlement and dismissing the lawsuit became
non-appealable, and the United States Supreme Court dismissed the Petition for
Certiorari.

In connection with the Company's spin-off from Ventas in 1998, liabilities
arising from various legal proceedings and other actions were assumed by the
Company and the Company agreed to indemnify Ventas against any losses,
including any costs or expenses, it may incur arising out of or in connection
with such legal proceedings and other actions. The indemnification provided by
the Company also covers losses, including costs and expenses, which may arise
from any future claims asserted against Ventas based on the former healthcare
operations of Ventas. In connection with the Company's indemnification
obligation, the Company assumed the defense of various legal proceedings and
other actions. Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Company agreed to continue
to fulfill its indemnification obligations arising from the spin-off.

The Company is a party to certain legal actions and regulatory
investigations arising in the normal course of the Company's business. The
Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and
regulatory investigations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the U.S.
Department of Justice, CMS or other state and federal regulatory agencies will
not initiate additional investigations related to the Company's

businesses in the future, nor can there be any assurance that the resolution of
any litigation or investigations, either individually or in the aggregate,
would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial position. In addition, the above litigation
and investigations (as well as future litigation and investigations) are
expected to consume the time and attention of management and may have a
disruptive effect upon the Company's operations.

The Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on April 16, 2002 in
