NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1--REPORTING ENTITY

Vencor, Inc. ("Vencor" or the "Company") operates an integrated network of
healthcare services in 46 states primarily focused on the needs of the
elderly. At June 30, 1997, Vencor operated 58 hospitals (5,107 licensed beds),
311 nursing centers (40,869 licensed beds), a contract services business
("Vencare") which provides respiratory and rehabilitation therapies, medical
services and pharmacy management services to nursing centers and other
healthcare providers, and through its affiliate, Atria Communities, Inc.
("Atria"), 40 assisted and independent living communities with 3,977 units.

On March 21, 1997, Vencor completed the acquisition of TheraTx, Incorporated
("TheraTx"), a provider of rehabilitation and respiratory therapy management
services and operator of nursing centers (the "TheraTx Merger") in a cash-for-
stock transaction. See Note 5.

On June 24, 1997, Vencor acquired substantially all of the outstanding
common stock of Transitional Hospitals Corporation ("Transitional"), an
operator of 19 long-term acute care hospitals (the "Transitional Acquisition")
in a cash-for-stock transaction. See Note 6.

NOTE 2--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The TheraTx Merger and Transitional Acquisition have been accounted for by
the purchase method. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements include the operations of TheraTx and Transitional since
March 21, 1997 and June 24, 1997, respectively.

The accompanying 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 statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of Vencor for the year ended December 31,
1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Vencor's customary accounting practices and have
not been audited. Management believes that the financial information included
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim
results and that all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

NOTE 3--REVENUES

Revenues are recorded based upon estimated amounts due from patients and
third-party payors for healthcare services provided, including anticipated
settlements under reimbursement agreements with Medicare, Medicaid and other
third-party payors.

A summary of revenues by payor type follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 4--EARNINGS PER SHARE
The computation of earnings per common and common equivalent share is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the
dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting primarily of stock
options.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," which will require Vencor to change the current
method of computing earnings per common share and restate all prior periods.
Statement No. 128 is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997 and requires,
among other things, that the calculation of primary earnings per common share
exclude the dilutive effect of common stock options. The change in the
calculation method is not expected to have a material impact on previously
reported earnings per common share.

NOTE 5--THERATX MERGER
On March 21, 1997, the TheraTx Merger was consummated following a cash
tender offer in which Vencor paid $17.10 for each outstanding share of TheraTx
common stock. A summary of the TheraTx Merger follows (dollars in thousands):

aggregated $322 million.

NOTE 6--TRANSITIONAL ACQUISITION
On June 24, 1997, Vencor acquired approximately 95% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Transitional through a cash tender offer in which
Vencor paid $16.00 per common share. Vencor expects to complete the merger of
its wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Transitional in the third quarter of
1997. A summary of the Transitional Acquisition follows (dollars in
thousands):

NOTE 7--PRO FORMA INFORMATION

The pro forma effect of the TheraTx Merger and Transitional Acquisition
assuming that the transactions occurred on January 1, 1996 follows (dollars in
thousands, except per share amounts):

<TABLE>

Net income........................................ 0.71 0.74
Fully diluted:

Net income........................................ 0.70 0.74
</TABLE>

For both periods presented, pro forma financial data have been derived by
combining the financial results of Vencor and TheraTx (based upon six month
reporting periods ending on June 30) and Transitional (based upon six month
reporting periods ending on May 31).

Pro forma income from operations for 1997 includes costs incurred by both
TheraTx and Transitional in connection with the acquisitions which reduced net
income by $10.3 million.

NOTE 8--LONG-TERM DEBT

In connection with the TheraTx Merger, Vencor entered into a new five-year
bank credit facility (the "Vencor Credit Facility") aggregating $1.75 billion
on March 31, 1997, replacing a $1.0 billion bank credit facility. On June 24,
1997, the Vencor Credit Facility was amended to increase the amount of the
credit to $2.0 billion. Interest is payable, depending on certain leverage
ratios and the period of borrowing, at rates up to either (i) the prime rate
plus 1/2% or the daily federal funds rate plus 1%, (ii) LIBOR plus 1 1/8% or
(iii) the bank certificate of deposit rate plus 1 1/4%. The Vencor Credit
Facility is collateralized by the capital stock of certain subsidiaries and
intercompany borrowings and contains covenants which require, among other
things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and limit amounts of
additional debt and repurchases of common stock. Outstanding borrowings under
the Vencor Credit Facility aggregated $1.79 billion at June 30, 1997.

During the second quarter of 1997, Vencor repurchased substantially all of
the outstanding TheraTx $100 million 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due
2002 assumed in connection with the TheraTx Merger. The after-tax loss
associated with this transaction approximated $1.6 million.

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded an after-tax charge
of $2.3 million in connection with the refinancing of the bank credit
agreements of both Vencor and TheraTx.

The Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements in the fourth
quarter of 1995 to eliminate the impact of changes in interest rates on $400
million of floating rate debt outstanding. The agreements expire in varying
amounts through April 1998 and provide for fixed rates at 5.7% plus 3/8% to 1
1/8%. In addition, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in
May 1997 on $300 million of floating rate debt. These agreements expire in
$100 million increments in May 1999, November 1999 and May 2000, and provide
for
fixed rates at 6.4% plus 3/8% to 1 1/8%. The fair values of the swap
agreements are not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 9--LITIGATION

The Company's subsidiary, American X-Rays, Inc. ("AXR"), is the defendant in
a qui tam lawsuit which was filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Arkansas and served on the Company on July 7, 1997. The
United States Department of Justice intervened in the suit which was brought
under the Federal Civil False Claims Act. AXR provides portable X-ray services
to nursing facilities (including those operated by the Company) and other
healthcare providers. The Company acquired an interest in AXR when The
Hillhaven Corporation was merged into the Company in September 1995 and
purchased the remaining interest in AXR in February 1996. The suit alleges
that AXR submitted false claims to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In
conjunction with the qui tam action, the United States Attorney's office for
the Eastern District of Arkansas also is conducting a criminal investigation
into the allegations contained in the qui tam complaint. The Company is
cooperating fully in the investigation.

On June 19, 1997, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of a class consisting of
all persons who sold shares of Transitional during the period from February
26, 1997 through May 4, 1997, inclusive. The complaint alleges that
Transitional was purchasing shares of its common stock from members of the
investing public after it had received a written offer to acquire all of
Transitional's common stock and without making the required disclosure that
such an offer had been made. The complaint further alleges that defendants
disclosed that there were "expressions of interest" in acquiring Transitional
when, in fact, at that time, the negotiations had reached an advanced stage
with actual firm offers at substantial premiums to the trading price of
Transitional's stock having been made which were actively being considered by
Transitional's Board of Directors. The complaint asserts claims pursuant to
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and common law principles of negligent misrepresentation and names as
defendants Transitional as well as certain senior executives and directors of
Transitional.

On June 6, 1997, Transitional announced that it had been advised that it was
the target of a grand jury investigation arising from the activities of
Transitional's formerly owned dialysis business. The investigation involves
purported Medicare fraud involving certain laboratory tests performed by a
partnership which existed from June 1987 to June 1992 between Damon
Corporation and Transitional. Transitional spun off its dialysis business, now
called Vivra Incorporated, on September 1, 1989. The Company is cooperating
fully in the investigation.

NOTE 10--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Private Placement of Debt

On July 21, 1997, Vencor completed the private placement of $750 million
aggregate principal amount of 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (the
"Notes"). The Notes were issued at 99.575% of face value and are not callable
by the Company until 2002. The net proceeds of the offering were used to
reduce outstanding borrowings under the Vencor Credit Facility.

Atria Secondary Equity Offering

In July 1997, Atria issued 6.9 million shares of its common stock in a
public offering (the "Atria Offering"), the net proceeds from which aggregated
approximately $91 million. The net proceeds will be used primarily to finance
Atria's expansion and development activities. As a result of the Atria
Offering, Vencor now owns 42.8% of the outstanding common stock of Atria.
Accordingly, beginning in July 1997, Atria's financial statements will no
longer be consolidated with those of the Company; however, the Company's
investment in Atria will be accounted for under the equity method.

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

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Vencor is one of the nation's largest providers of healthcare services
focused primarily on the needs of the elderly. At June 30, 1997, Vencor
operated 58 hospitals (5,107 licensed beds), 311 nursing centers (40,869
licensed beds) and Vencare contract services which provided respiratory and
rehabilitation therapies, medical services and pharmacy management services
under approximately 4,500 contracts to nursing centers and other healthcare
providers. The Company also operated 40 assisted and independent living
communities with 3,977 units through its Atria affiliate.

On March 21, 1997, the TheraTx Merger was completed. TheraTx primarily
provided rehabilitation and respiratory therapy management services and
operated 26 nursing centers with annualized revenues approximating $425
million. See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

On June 24, 1997, Vencor completed the Transitional Acquisition. Transitional
primarily operated 19 long-term acute care hospitals with annualized revenues
approximating $350 million. See Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

In July 1997, the Atria Offering was completed and aggregated approximately
$91 million of net proceeds. The net proceeds will be used primarily to finance
Atria's expansion and development activities. As a result of the Atria
Offering, Vencor now owns 42.8% of the outstanding common stock of Atria.
Accordingly, beginning in July 1997, Atria's financial statements will no
longer be consolidated with those of the Company; however, the Company's
investment in Atria will be accounted for under the equity method.

Hospital revenue increases in both the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1997 resulted primarily from an increase in patient days and improved
patient mix. Hospital patient days rose 10% in both periods to 163,327 and
323,180 for the second quarter and first six months of 1997, respectively,
compared to 148,313 and 294,328 for the respective periods last year. Non-
Medicaid patient days (for which payment rates are generally higher than
Medicaid) increased 13% in the second quarter to 140,157 from 124,415 last year
and 13% for the six month period to 278,305 from 246,278. Medicaid patient days
declined 3% in the second quarter to 23,170 from 23,898 last year and 7% in the
six month period to 44,875 from 48,050. Hospital revenues for the second
quarter of 1997 include $5.2 million related to the 19 facilities purchased in
the Transitional Acquisition.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to
sell 34 underperforming or non-strategic nursing centers. At June 30, 1997, 27
of these centers had been sold; the remainder are expected to be sold pending
certain regulatory approvals. In connection with the TheraTx Merger, Vencor
acquired 26

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

nursing centers on March 21, 1997. Excluding the effect of sales and
acquisitions, nursing center revenues increased 4% in both the second quarter
and six months, while patient days declined 1% in the second quarter and 2% in
the six month period compared to last year. The increase in same-store nursing
center revenues resulted primarily from price increases.

Excluding the effect of sales and acquisitions, nursing center revenue growth
was adversely impacted by a 5% and 6% decline in private patient days in the
second quarter and first six months of 1997, respectively. In an effort to
attract increased volumes of Medicare and private pay patients, the Company is
implementing a plan to expend approximately $200 million over the next two
years to improve existing facilities and expand the range of services provided
to accommodate higher acuity patients.

Vencare revenues for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997
include approximately $67.8 million and $75.5 million, respectively, related to
contract rehabilitation therapy and certain other ancillary service businesses
acquired as part of the TheraTx Merger. Excluding the TheraTx Merger, Vencare
revenues grew 17% in the second quarter and 16% for the six months primarily as
a result of growth in volumes. Vencare ancillary service contracts in effect at
June 30, 1997 totaled 4,524 compared to 4,295 at June 30, 1996. During the
second quarter of 1997, Vencor terminated approximately 700 contracts which did
not meet certain growth criteria. These terminations did not materially impact
Vencare operating results.

Pharmacy revenues (included in Vencare operations) declined 2% to $43.3
million in the second quarter of 1997 from $44.0 million in the same period
last year and 3% in the six month period to $84.7 million from $87.4 million.
The decline was primarily attributable to the effects of the restructuring of
the institutional pharmacy business initiated in the fourth quarter of 1996 and
the sale of the retail pharmacy outlets in January 1997.

During the second quarter of 1997, the number of Atria communities in
operation expanded from 25 to 40, primarily as a result of a $30.7 million
acquisition of 12 communities. Same store revenues rose 7% in both the second
quarter and six month period primarily due to price increases and growth in
ancillary services.

Second quarter 1997 income from operations totaled $37.0 million ($0.52 per
fully diluted share), up 20% from $30.9 million ($0.43 per fully diluted share)
for the same period in 1996. For the six month period, income from operations
rose 21% to $71.0 million from $58.5 million in 1996. The increase in both
periods was primarily attributable to growth in hospital and Vencare operations
and the continuing effect of merger synergies achieved in 1996 in connection
with the acquisition of The Hillhaven Corporation. The operating results of
Transitional since the date of acquisition had no material effect on second
quarter 1997 net income.

During the second quarter of 1997, Vencor repurchased substantially all of
the outstanding TheraTx $100 million 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2002
assumed in connection with the TheraTx Merger. The after-tax loss associated
with this transaction approximated $1.6 million ($0.02 per share). During the
first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $2.3 million
($0.03 per share) in connection with the refinancing of the bank credit
agreements of both Vencor and TheraTx.

LIQUIDITY

Cash provided by operations totaled $123.7 million for the first six months
of 1997 compared to $117.0 million for the same period of 1996. The increase
was primarily attributable to growth in income from operations.


11
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)

Days of revenues in accounts receivable increased to 65 at June 30, 1997
compared to 54 at December 31, 1996. Growth in accounts receivable was
primarily related to the restructuring of Vencor's pharmacy operations (which
began in the fourth quarter of 1996) and growth in rehabilitation contracts
acquired in the TheraTx Merger. The collection cycle for rehabilitation therapy
contracts typically requires in excess of three months.

In connection with the TheraTx Merger, Vencor entered into the $1.75 billion
Vencor Credit Facility, replacing a $1.0 billion bank credit facility. On June
24, 1997, the Vencor Credit Facility was amended to increase the amount of the
credit to $2.0 billion. At June 30, 1997, available borrowings under the Vencor
Credit Facility approximated $170 million. As discussed in Note 10 of the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Vencor completed a $750 million
private placement of long-term debt on July 21, 1997. The net proceeds of the
offering were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Vencor Credit
Facility. At July 21, 1997, available borrowings under the Vencor Credit
Facility approximated $950 million.

Since the completion of the initial public offering of Atria in August 1996
(the "IPO"), Atria has maintained a $200 million bank credit facility (the
"Atria Credit Facility") to finance its expansion and development program. At
June 30, 1997, amounts available under the Atria Credit Facility aggregated
$110 million.

Working capital totaled $481.5 million at June 30, 1997 compared to $320.1
million at December 31, 1996. Management believes that cash flows from
operations and amounts available under the Vencor Credit Facility are
sufficient to meet the Company's future expected liquidity needs.

At June 30, 1997, the Company's ratio of debt to debt and equity totaled
69.1%. Management intends to reduce the Company's future leverage through,
among other things, the use of anticipated excess cash flows from operations
and the sale of certain non-strategic assets acquired from TheraTx and
Transitional.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures totaled $132.9 million for the
first six months of 1997 compared to $61.5 million for the same period of 1996.
Expenditures in the first six months of 1997 related to Atria approximated $23
million. Planned capital expenditures in 1997 (excluding amounts for
acquisitions and Atria) related to hospitals, nursing centers and Vencare are
expected to approximate $200 million and include significant expenditures
related to nursing center improvements. Management believes that its capital
expenditure program is adequate to expand, improve and equip existing
facilities. At June 30, 1997, the estimated cost to complete and equip
construction in progress approximated $70 million.

During 1997, Vencor expended approximately $355 million and $575 million in
connection with the TheraTx Merger and the Transitional Acquisition,
respectively. These purchases were financed primarily through borrowings under
the Vencor Credit Facility. See Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these transactions.

Vencor also expended $25.0 million for the acquisition of new and previously
leased facilities in the first six months of 1997 compared to $5.2 million for
the same period in 1996. Subject to certain limitations related to management's
plans to reduce long-term debt discussed above, the Company intends to acquire
additional hospitals, nursing centers and ancillary service businesses in the
future.

Capital expenditures were financed primarily through internally generated
funds and, in 1997, from borrowings under the Vencor Credit Facility and
proceeds from the IPO. Vencor intends to finance a substantial portion of its
capital expenditures with internally generated funds and long-term debt.
Sources of capital include available borrowings under the Vencor Credit
Facility, public or private debt and equity.

OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION

Congress is currently considering various proposals which could reduce
expenditures under certain government health and welfare programs, including
Medicare and Medicaid. Management cannot predict whether such proposals will be
adopted or if adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals would have on its
business.

Medicare revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 32% and 31% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, while Medicaid
percentages of revenues approximated 27% and 31% for the respective periods.

On March 28, 1997, the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") issued a
proposed rule to change Medicare reimbursement guidelines for therapy services
provided by Vencare (including the rehabilitation contract therapy business
acquired as part of the TheraTx Merger). Under the proposed rule, HCFA would
revise the current salary equivalency guidelines for physical therapy and
respiratory therapy services and establish new salary equivalency guidelines
for speech and occupational therapy services. The proposed guidelines are based
on a blend of data from wage rates for hospitals and skilled nursing
facilities, and include salary, fringe benefits and expense factors. Rates are
defined by specific geographic market areas, based upon a modified version of
the hospital wage index. Following a 60-day comment period, HCFA is considering
comments and is expected to issue a final rule. The new guidelines will not
become effective until 60 days after publication of the final rule in the
Federal Register. While the Company cannot predict when the final regulation
will be issued, or if changes will be made to the proposed guidelines,
management believes that the imposition of salary equivalency guidelines on
speech and occupational therapy services, as proposed, would not significantly
decrease Vencare operating margins or have a material adverse effect on the
Company's contract services business.

OTHER INFORMATION

On June 11, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic
alliance with CNA Financial Corporation ("CNA") to develop and market a long-
term care insurance product. Under this arrangement, CNA will offer a long-term
care insurance product which features as a benefit certain discounts for
services provided by members of the Company's network of long-term care
providers. Members of this network will act as preferred providers of care to
covered insureds. CNA will be responsible for underwriting, marketing and
distributing the product through its national distribution network and will
provide administrative insurance product support. The Company will reinsure 50%
of the risk through a newly formed wholly-owned insurance company and will
provide utilization review services. Management believes that the alliance with
CNA will not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity, financial
position or results of operations in 1997.

Various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are
pending against Vencor. Resolution of litigation and other loss contingencies
is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Vencor's liquidity,
financial position or results of operations.

The Vencor Credit Facility and the Atria Credit Facility contain customary
covenants which require, among other things, maintenance of certain financial
ratios and limit amounts of additional debt and repurchases of common stock.
Vencor and Atria were in compliance with all such covenants at June 30, 1997.

As discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, on December 31, 1997, Vencor will be required to change the method
of computing earnings per common share on a retroactive basis. The change in
calculation method is not expected to have a material impact on previously
reported earnings per common share.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company's subsidiary, American X-Rays, Inc. ("AXR"), is the defendant in
a qui tam lawsuit which was filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Arkansas and served on the Company on July 7, 1997. The
United States Department of Justice intervened in the suit which was brought
under the Federal Civil False Claims Act. AXR provides portable X-ray services
to nursing facilities (including those operated by the Company) and other
healthcare providers. The Company acquired an interest in AXR when The
Hillhaven Corporation was merged into the Company in September 1995 and
purchased the remaining interest in AXR in February 1996. The suit alleges
that AXR submitted false claims to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In
conjunction with the qui tam action, the United States Attorney's office for
the Eastern District of Arkansas also is conducting a criminal investigation
into the allegations contained in the qui tam complaint. The Company is
cooperating fully in the investigation.

On June 19, 1997, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of a class consisting of
all persons who sold shares of Transitional during the period from February
26, 1997 through May 4, 1997, inclusive. The complaint alleges that
Transitional was purchasing shares of its common stock from members of the
investing public after it had received a written offer to acquire all of
Transitional's common stock and without making the required disclosure that
such an offer had been made. The complaint further alleges that defendants
disclosed that there were "expressions of interest" in acquiring Transitional
when, in fact, at that time, the negotiations had reached an advanced stage
with actual firm offers at substantial premiums to the trading price of
Transitional's stock having been made which were actively being considered by
Transitional's Board of Directors. The complaint asserts claims pursuant to
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and common law principles of negligent misrepresentation and names as
defendants Transitional as well as certain senior executives and directors of
Transitional.

On June 6, 1997, Transitional announced that it had been advised that it was
the target of a grand jury investigation arising from the activities of
Transitional's formerly owned dialysis business. The investigation involves
purported Medicare fraud involving certain laboratory tests performed by a
partnership which existed from June 1987 to June 1992 between Damon
Corporation and Transitional. Transitional spun off its dialysis business, now
called Vivra Incorporated, on September 1, 1989. The Company is cooperating
fully in the investigation.

The Company intends to vigorously defend these proceedings. While such
proceedings are in the preliminary stages, based on the information currently
available to the Company, the Company believes that a resolution of these
matters will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
effect on the Company's liquidity, financial position or results of
operations.
