INTERWEST MEDICAL CORPORATION

PART I

Item 1. Business.

InterWest Medical Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Oklahoma on March 3, 1983. The principal office
and place of business of the Company is located at Suite C, 322l Hulen
Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76107-6193. Its telephone number is
(817) 731-2743.

The Company was organized to engage in the business of developing,
operating and owning surgery centers itself and in association with
others. The Company did not, however, develop any surgery centers.

In April 1984, the Company commenced efforts to develop nursing homes
in an effort to diversify its efforts. The Company built and sold to an
unrelated purchaser a 187-bed skilled nursing home in Vista, California.
The Company presently owns and operates a 156-bed skilled nursing
home in Colton, California. The Company does not at this time have any
plans to develop other nursing homes.

The Company has invested funds in nursing homes, in residential real
estate developments and in the oil business.

All of the industries in which the Company has invested are extremely
competitive in all phases. Many of its competitors, both public and
private, possess and employ financial and personnel resources
substantially greater than those which are currently available to the
Company.

Item 2. Properties.

Nursing Home Business

The Company owns and operates a 156-bed skilled nursing home located
on a 9 acre parcel of land in Colton, California. At December 31, 1997,
the Company had a cost of $3,028,924 in such facility. In 1997, the
facility had an operating income of $987,934.

Residential Development

The Company developed residential lots in Modesto, California, Miami
County, Kansas and Douglas County, Kansas. This activity has been
substantially completed and no further such development is presently
planned.
F-3


Oil Business

The Company has acquired oil and gas leases and properties in the
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana. At December 31,
1997, the Company had a cost of $477,276 in such properties.

(a) Oil and Gas Revenues.

A description of the Company's net quantity of oil and gas reserves is
contained in the unaudited Supplemental Information of the
accompanying financial statements. Estimates of reserves are not
presented as being based on estimates prepared or reviewed by
independent consultants. All such estimates were made in accordance
with regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The referenced reserve reports are available for
examination at the corporate headquarters.

The Company has no long-term supply or similar agreements with foreign
governments or authorities. No major discovery or other favorable or
adverse event has caused a significant change in the estimated proved
reserves. The Company has not filed with or included in reports to any
federal authority or agency, other than the SEC, any estimate of total
proved net oil and gas reserves. All of the Company's production,
acreage and drilling activity is located in the United States.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources:


During the year 1995, the Company's cash increased from
$1,807,951 at the beginning of the period to $2,096,886 at the end of the
period. Accordingly, there was a net increase in cash of $288,935. This
was attributable to an increase in cash provided by operating activities.

During the year 1996, the Company's cash decreased from
$2,096,886 at the beginning of the period to $2,094,563 at the end of the
period. Accordingly, there was a net decrease in cash of ($2,323). This
was attributable to a decrease in net cash provided by operating
activities.

During the year 1997, the Company's cash decreased from
$2,096,886 at the beginning of the period to $2,094,563 at the end of the
period. Accordingly, there was a net decrease in cash of ($2,323). This
was attributable to an increase in net cash used in investing activities.

The Company is not aware of any known trends or any known
demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that
are reasonably likely to result in the registrant's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way.

In the Company's view, its short-term liquidity and short-term
capital resources will be sufficient to cover its cash needs up to 12
months into the future. The Company does not presently anticipate
material capital expenditures. The Company does not have any
significant balloon payments. The Company's long-term debt consists of
a mortgage loan bearing interest at the rate of 11% and is payable in
monthly installments of $42,890. It is anticipated that these payments will
be made from revenues received by the operation of the Company's
nursing home.

During 1997, the Company purchased as treasury shares a total of
297,075 shares of its stock at an aggregate purchase price of $36,571.

(b) Results of Operations:

Operating profit for 1995 was $353,246, as compared to an
operating profit of $268,766 for 1994. The increase in profit was
attributed to larger revenues from the Company's long-term health care
facility. Net loss was ($47,877) as compared to ($53,452) for 1994.


Operating profit for 1996 was $360,059, as compared to an
operating profit of $353,246 for 1995. The increase in profit was
attributed to larger revenues from the Company's long-term

F-9

health care facility. Net loss was ($49,282) in 1997 as compared to a loss
of ($47,877) in 1995.

Operating profit for 1997 was $987,934, as compared to an
operating profit of $360,059 for 1996. The increase in profit was
attributable to larger revenues from the Company's long-term health care
facility. Net income was $609,112 in 1997 as compared to a net loss of
($49,282) in 1996.

The revenues derived from each segment of the Company's
businesses are as follows: Long-term health care - $9,773,756; real
estate development and construction - $87,606 and oil and gas -
$261,806.

(c) Effects of Inflation:

The Company is of the view that inflation did not affect its
operations in 1996 and should not in 1997.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
InterWest Medical Corporation

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policy relative to property and equipment is shown on the
accompanying balance sheets. Other significant accounting policies are as
follows:

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of InterWest
Medical Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in
joint ventures are accounted for on the equity basis of accounting.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to 1996 and 1995 captions to
conform to the 1997 presentation.

Depreciation

Depreciation of long-term health care property and equipment is provided
principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the depreciable assets. Estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are
as follows:

Buildings and improvements 31 years
Equipment and furniture 7 years

Investments in Securities

The Company has adopted Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board. In accordance with Statement No. 115, the
Company's investments in securities are classified as follows:

Trading Securities - Investments in debt and equity securities held
principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities
and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading
securities are included in other income. The Company does not, nor does
it intend to, trade investments that it owns.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investments in Securities - continued

Securities to be Held to Maturity - Debt securities for which the Company
has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at
cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts
which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the
period to maturity.

Securities Available for Sale - Securities available for sale consist of
its debt and equity securities not classified as trading securities nor as
securities to be held to maturity.

Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale are
reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity
until realized.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are
determined using the specific identification method.

Oil and Gas Property and Equipment

The Company utilizes the "successful efforts" method of accounting for
costs incurred in the exploration and development of oil and gas
properties. Accordingly, costs incurred in the acquisition and exploratory
drilling of oil and gas properties are accumulated and subsequently either
expensed, if the properties are determined not to have proved reserves or
capitalized as a depletable asset if proved reserves are discovered. Costs
of drilling development wells are capitalized. Geological, geophysical and
carrying costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Acquisition costs
relating to producing oil and gas properties are amortized on a prospect by
prospect basis using the units-of-production method based on engineers'
estimates of proven oil and gas reserves. Depletion and depreciation of
producing oil and gas properties (other than acquisition costs) are amortized
by prospect using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved
developed reserves.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash, accounts receivable,
investments and debt. Recorded values of cash and accounts receivable
approximate fair values due to the short maturities of the instruments. For
information on the fair value of investments, see Note 2.

The fair value of debt is estimated as its carrying value at December 31,
1997 plus refinancing costs paid in February 1998. See Note 6.

Carrying Fair
Amount Value

Long-term debt - 1997 $4,545,652 $4,689,652

Long-term debt - 1996 $4,559,471 $5,198,252

Revenue

Patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts
from patients, third-party payors, and others for service rendered.

Revenue under third-party payor agreements is subject to audit and
retroactive adjustment. Provisions for estimated third-party payor
settlements are provided in the period the related services are rendered.
Differences between the estimated amounts accrued and interim and final
settlements are reported in operations in the year of settlement.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Income Taxes

The Company provides for deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences
between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting
purposes. Such differences result principally from the use of the direct
write-off method for bad debts for tax reporting purposes and nondeductible
write-downs of real estate development costs to net realizable value.

Earnings Per Common Share

The Company has adopted Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, issued by
the Financial Standards Accounting Board. Adoption of Statement No. 128
had no effect upon 1997, 1996 or 1995 earnings per share computations.

Basic earnings per common share was computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share have not been presented since the inclusion of common stock
equivalents would be antidilutive.

Cash Flows Presentation

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash to
include unrestricted cash and all highly liquid investments with initial
maturities of ninety days or less from the date of purchase.

Amortization

Costs of obtaining financing are amortized over the term of the financing.

Credit Risk

The Company regularly maintains cash in bank deposit and brokerage accounts
which exceed FDIC/SPIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock-based compensation
plans based on the difference, if any, between the quoted market price of
the stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Dates
that quoted market prices are determined may vary depending on whether the
terms of an award are fixed or variable.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 123
establishing a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation plans. As permitted under Statement No. 123, the Company does
not intend to adopt the recognition or accounting requirements of the
statement. No awards have been granted in 1997, 1996 or 1995.

Accounting Changes

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued the following Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997:

No. 130 - Reporting Comprehensive Income

Requires that all items are required to be recognized under accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements.

No. 131 - Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information

Requires disclosure of operating segments based upon information used
internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources.

No. 132 - Employers' Disclosures About Pensions
and Other Post-retirement Benefits

Revises employers' disclosures about pensions and other post-retirement
plans.

The Company will adopt the above standards effective January 1, 1998.
Adoption is not expected to have a significant effect upon current financial
statements.

The Company had no investment securities at December 31, 1996.


NOTE 3. CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has adopted a Stock Option Plan which provides for the granting
of options to officers and other key employees for the purchase of common
stock of the Company.

The Plan reserves 1,500,000 shares of common stock for the granting of such
options. Options are subjected to adjustment upon any change in the
capital structure of the Company such as a stock dividend, stock split or
other similar events.

Options may be granted at not less than 100% of the fair market value of the
Company stock at the date of grant, and are exercisable during a term of ten
years from the date of grant at any time in whole or in part, and are subject
to continued employment and other conditions as set forth in the option
agreement.

Options are exercisable only by the participants and are not assignable
during their lifetime and must be exercised within one year of the death of
the participant by his legal representatives.

Nine hundred, seventy-five thousand (975,000) shares exercisable at $0.15 per
share were granted under the Plan. All options expired unexercised in 1997.

from the Company's president.


NOTE 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective January 1, 1996.
Adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

The Company had no income tax provision in 1997, 1996 or 1995, and no
significant differences between the tax provisions and the amounts computed
using statutory rates.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had unused operating loss carryforwards

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
(unaudited)



The SEC defines proved oil and gas reserves as those estimated quantities of
crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be
expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods.

Estimates of petroleum reserves have been made by independent engineers.
The valuation of proved reserves may be revised in the future on the basis
of new information as it becomes available. Estimates of proved reserves
are inherently imprecise.

All of the reserves of the Company represent proved developed reserves.
Estimated quantities of oil and gas reserves of the Company (all of which
are located in the United States) are as follows:

Petroleum Natural
Liquids Gas
(bbls) (MCF)

December 31, 1995 - proved developed reserves 4,940 640,400

Other ( 113) ( 33) ( 55)

$ 273 ($ 143) $ 73

Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year end prices of
oil and gas to year end quantities of proved developed reserves. Estimated
future development and production costs are determined by estimating the
expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and
gas reserves in future years, based on year end costs and assuming
continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income tax
expenses are calculated by applying year end statutory tax rates (adjusted
for permanent differences, tax credits and tax carryforwards) to estimated
future pretax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves, less
the tax basis of the properties involved.

These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC. Because of
unpredictable variances in expenses and capital forecasts, crude oil and
natural gas price changes, and the fact that the bases for such estimates
vary significantly, management believes the usefulness of these projections
is limited. Estimates of future net cash flows do not necessarily represent
management's assessment of future profitability or future cash flow to the
Company.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION



The SEC defines proved oil and gas reserves as those estimated quantities of
crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable
in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be
expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods.

Estimates of petroleum reserves have not been made by independent engineers.
The valuation of proved reserves may be revised in the future on the basis
of new information as it becomes available. Estimates of proved reserves
are inherently imprecise.

All of the reserves of the Company represent proved developed reserves.
Estimated quantities of oil and gas reserves of the Company (all of which
are located in the United States) are as follows:

Petroleum Natural
Liquids Gas
(bbls) (MCF)

proved developed reserves 4,940 640,400

Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year end prices of
oil and gas to year end quantities of proved developed reserves. Estimated
future development and production costs are determined by estimating the
expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and
gas reserves in future years, based on year end costs and assuming
continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income tax
expenses are calculated by applying year end statutory tax rates (adjusted
for permanent differences, tax credits and tax carryforwards) to estimated
future pretax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves, less
the tax basis of the properties involved.

These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC. Because of
unpredictable variances in expenses and capital forecasts, crude oil and
natural gas price changes, and the fact that the bases for such estimates
vary significantly, management believes the usefulness of these projections
is limited. Estimates of future net cash flows do not necessarily represent
management's assessment of future profitability or future cash flow to the
Company.
