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, 3221 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's business is 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.

The Company owns and operates a 156-bed skilled nursing home located on a
nine acre parcel of land in Colton, California. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had an undepreciated cost of $5,294,002 in such facility, including
equipment and furniture. In 1999, the Company had an operating income of
$704,399.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In the opinion of management, all litigation pertaining to the operations
is considered to be ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business and
that the disposition of all outstanding legal actions will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1999, except for the election of directors at the annual meeting of
shareholders.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholders
Matters.

The Company's Common Stock is traded in the national over-the-counter
market and is listed in the pink sheets. The high and low bid prices quoted for
each quarter in the past two calendar years were as follows:



Period Low Bid High Bid
------ ------- --------

1st Quarter, 1998 $0.1500 $0.1700
2nd Quarter, 1998 $0.1600 $0.1800
3rd Quarter, 1998 $0.1500 $0.1800
4th Quarter, 1998 $0.1600 $0.1800

1st Quarter, 1999 $0.1500 $0.2200
2nd Quarter, 1999 $0.1870 $0.3700
3rd Quarter, 1999 $0.1400 $0.1900
4th Quarter, 1999 $0.1400 $0.2200


As of March 14, 2000, the approximate number of holders of Common Stock was
1,835. No cash dividends had been paid as of December 31, 1999, and the Company
does not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

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

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources:

During the year 1997, the Company's cash decreased from $2,094,563 at the
beginning of the period to $1,458,281 at the end of the period. Accordingly,
there was a net decrease in cash of ($636,282). This was attributable to an
increase in net cash used in investing activities.

During the year 1998, the Company's cash decreased from $1,458,281 at the
beginning of the period to $460,329 at the end of the period. Accordingly, there
was a net decrease in cash of ($997,952). This was attributable to the purchase
of Treasury stock and an increase in net cash used in investing activities.
During 1998, the Company purchased as treasury shares a total of 2,624,300
shares of its stock at an aggregate purchase price of $488,159.

During the year 1999, the Company's cash increased from $460,329 at the
beginning of the year to $947,420 at the end of the year. Accordingly, there was
an increase in cash of $487,091. This increase was caused by net cash provided
by 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 7
3/8% and is payable in monthly installments of $30,778.00. It is anticipated
that these payments will be made from revenues received by the operation of the
Company's nursing home.

(b) Results of Operations:

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.

Operating profit for 1998, was $1,060,147, as compared to an operating
profit of $987,934 for 1997. The increase in profit was attributable to larger
revenues from the Company's long-term care facility. Net income was $1,305,551
in 1998, as compared to net income of $609,112 in 1997.


5
6

Operating profit for 1999 was $704,399, as compared to operating profit of
$1,060,147 for 1998. The decrease in operating income was attributable to an
increase in costs of administrative services and other costs. Net income in 1999
was $1,657,032, as compared to $1,305,551 in 1998. The increase was attributable
to an increase in Other Income.

(c) Effects of Inflation:

The Company is of the view that inflation did not affect its operations in
1999 and should not in 2000.

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, 1999 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule II for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1999. 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, 1999 and 1998, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three year period ended December 31, 1999 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.

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.

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. All of the Company's
investments in securities are classified as available for sale.

Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale are
reported as a net amount in accumulated other comprehensive income in
stockholders' equity until realized.

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

Prior to October 1, 1999, the Company classified all investment
securities as available for sale. Effective October 1, 1999, all
investment securities were transferred to the trading category.

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.

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, 1999 and 1998, based upon current interest rates of similar debt
which approximates the Company's mortgage interest rate.

REVENUE

Patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable
amounts from patients, third-party payers, and others for service
rendered. The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from
third party payers (health maintenance organizations, Medicare and
Medi-Cal).

Revenue under third-party payer agreements is subject to audit and
retroactive adjustment. Provisions for estimated third-party payer
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.

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 unrealized losses on investment securities.

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 1999, 1998 or 1997 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 for 1997 since the inclusion
of potential common stock would be antidilutive. The Company had no
potential common shares outstanding in 1998. In 1999, the effect of
dilutive potential common shares was immaterial.

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.

Included in gain on sale of investments for 1999 is $279,158 of unrealized
gain on trading securities still held at December 31, 1999. Effective
October 1, 1999, the Company's investment securities, previously classified
as available for sale were transferred to the trading category. Unrealized
losses at that date of $223,376 have been recognized in the accompanying
1999 financial statements.


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.

No options were issued in 1998. A summary of the status of the Company's
stock options for 1999 is as follows:

Weighted average fair value of
options granted during the year $ .13
=========


At December 31, 1999, the 1,500,000 options have an exercise price of $0.15
per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.25 years.

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been determined based
on the fair value at the grant date, the Company's net income and income
per share for 1999 would have been $1,528,332 and $0.10, respectively.

Compensation cost under the fair value method was estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%;
expected life of 5 years; expected volatility of 138.25% and a risk-free
interest rate of 6.0%.


NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, Arch B. Gilbert, a
Professional Corporation, whose sole stockholder is president of the
Company, was paid $141,700, $61,000, and $5,000, respectively, for legal
services rendered.

During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the above
corporation was reimbursed $35,352, $29,400, and $37,126, respectively, for
expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.


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,
1997. Adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

The Company had no income tax provision in 1997, and no significant

NOTE 7. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

In 1999 and 1998, real estate and oil and gas operations were not
significant. Substantially all of the Company's activities now consist of
the operation of convalescent centers including skilled nursing care in
southern California. Thus, segment information for 1999 and 1998 has not
been presented.

The Company's operations prior to 1998 were classified into three principal
industry segments:

Long-term Health Care - Operation of convalescent centers involving
skilled nursing care in southern California

Real Estate Development
and Construction - Construction and sale of single family
housing

Oil and Gas - Oil and gas exploration and development

The Company did not have any intersegment sales. Operating loss is total
revenues less operating expenses for each segment and excludes general
corporate expenses, interest expense and other income of a corporate
nature. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in
the Company's operations within that industry. Corporate assets consist
principally of cash.


NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in litigation pertaining to its long-term health
care operations. It is the Company's opinion that any loss incurred would
be adequately covered by insurance and the ultimate liability, if any,
should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position.


NOTE 9. EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has a retirement plan, established in 1998, covering
substantially all of its employees. Contributions to the plan in 1999 and
1998 totaled $32,279 and $37,515, respectively.

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 as of December 31,
1997 (all of which are located in the United States) are as follows:

======


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.
