PART 1

Item 1. Business
- ------- --------

The primary business of the Company is the ownership and
operation of Mad River Community Hospital (the Hospital) and
satellite clinics, located in the Humboldt County area of
Northern California.

As a result of area growth and the merger of two competing
Hospitals in Eureka, and as part of a strategic plan, the
Company has expanded the scope of services offered by the
Hospital. The Hospital's service area on the north coast is
experiencing the highest rate of growth in the county and is
especially attractive to healthcare professionals who want to
work in a community with high family values.

The nearest competition to the Hospital is in Eureka
(approximately 12 miles south) where one remaining acute care
facility is located. Management of the Hospital feels that as
long as it maintains a strong position in providing a full
scope of health care services, the facility located in Eureka
will have little or no negative impact on Hospital use or
occupancy. For this reason, the Hospital organized outpatient
clinics in the outlying communities thereby maintaining the
Hospital's presence in the service area. A new two story
medical building is under construction adjacent to the
Hospital for expansion of patient services within the
Hospital. The anticipated completion date in 2003, of the new
22,000 square foot building, is subject to obtaining
financing.

Another positive factor supporting Hospital use is community
involvement. As the largest private employer in Arcata, with
expanding services being provided through Home Health and
Adult Day Health Care departments, the Hospital is highly
visible in the community served. The Hospital continues to try
to build on this strength by maintaining a solid community
provider image through the media and a helping hand in the
community. The Hospital is an advocate for a community health
care plan involving the medical staff, employers and the
area's hospitals and health care providers wherein they will
work together to provide a locally based alternative to out of
the area managed care.

As the health care industry is dependent on government payment
of care for the elderly and indigent, the Hospital may be
negatively impacted by new Government regulations or changes
in policy. As mentioned above, the Hospital is collaborating
with other health care professionals to establish a community
health care plan that could compete with the various outside
managed care plans.

-3-




Item 2. Properties
- ------- ----------

The main facility operated by the Company is Mad River
Community Hospital in Arcata, California. This single story
structure is licensed as an 80-bed acute hospital, providing
full hospital services to a population of approximately
55,000. Since opening in 1972, the Hospital has maintained a
program of expansion and improvements. It is located on 12
acres (part of a 48-acre site) which leaves sufficient open
area for expansion of medical services as needed in the
further. The Hospital is adjacent to an expanded medical
office complex owned by staff doctors.

The Company owns 27 acres of land approximately 4 miles from
the Hospital held for future residential development. A house
and barn on the property are currently used as an office,
guest quarters and storage space for the Company. The Company
owns a personal residence adjacent to the Hospital. This
acquisition was made to facilitate a continued favorable
occupancy by a Hospital-related specialty and is presently
being leased to an unrelated private resident who provides a
child day care service to hospital employees. The Company also
owns residences and commercial properties in Eureka, Lake
County, and McKinleyville, California. From time to time, the
Company acquires real estate being held for investment
purposes and future strategic use.

As part of its outreach program, the Company owns and operates
medical office buildings which include a medical clinic in
Willow Creek, California (38 miles east of the Hospital). The
Company also owns and operates real property in McKinleyville
which provides clinical services.

Adult Day Health Care of Mad River, a separate not-for-profit
organization, is operating an adult day health care facility
in a building adjacent to and owned by Mad River Community
Hospital. Michael Young, Controller of the Company, is
functioning as Adult Day Health Care's Administrator and
performs minimal accounting services for the organization. To
meet the growing demands for this service, the existing
building was expanded. This entity will continue to lease the
facility from the Hospital.

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

2002
----

Results of Operations
---------------------

Hospital revenues increased during 2002 as the Hospital
continued to expand services offered to the community. Use of
inpatient and outpatient services increased approximately 11%.
In addition, fees for services rendered increased an average
of 7%. Patient revenue totaled $69,530,000 in 2002 compared to
$56,889,000 in 2001, a 22.2% increase of $12,641,000.

Contractual allowances totaled $40,931,000 in 2002 compared to
$30,449,000 in 2001, a 34.4% increase. Largely because of the
decrease in the reimbursement payments by third-party payers,
management elected to change the methodology for estimating
estimated allowances which contributed greatly to the large
percentage increase in contractual allowances. The estimated
allowances as a percentage of patient receivables increased
approximately 11.7%, or approximately $2,576,000. This is a
non-cash entry as indicated by the statement of cash flows
that shows $713,000 net cash provided by operations. The
change in estimate, in large part, was required by third-party
payers reimbursing based on fixed contracts which do not take
into account the ever increasing cost of providing health
care. Medicare and Medi- Cal indicate an attempt to reimburse
the hospitals' cost of providing services. But, as the
government continues its efforts to cut back on rising health
care payments, the actual reimbursement to the Hospital
continues to decrease. The majority of reimbursement is based
on fixed contracts. Therefore, as actual costs of providing
services increase, these amounts are not reimbursed. For the
three years ended June 30, 2001, contractual allowances and
provisions for bad debts have amounted to approximately
$77,700,000 or 51% of gross revenue. For the year ended June
30, 2002, contractual allowances, including the effect of
changing the methodology for estimating allowances, were 58.9%
of gross revenues. If the change in estimate had not been
made, this percentage would have been approximately 54%, a 3%
increase over prior years. As indicated above, much of the
time, the Hospital is unable to even recoup costs on Medicare
patients under the current methodology of reimbursement.
Medi-Cal has also imposed certain limitations that negatively
impact the amount the Hospital is reimbursed for Medi-Cal
patients.

Operating costs and expenses were $32,731,000 compared to
$27,895,000 in 2001, a 17.3% increase. The main cause of the
increase is an increase in salaries and related costs for
health care providers within the facility. These increases
were necessary to keep the Hospital's wage scale in line with
industry standards. The healthcare industry is experiencing a
serious shortage in nurses and ancillary care technicians.
During the year, as the volume of business increased
significantly, the Hospital was forced to use outside nursing
registry to cover required staffing

-8-



2002 continued
--------------

based on volume. The cost of outside nursing registry is more
than double the cost of payroll staffing. Therefore, not only
did payroll cost for nurses and medical technicians increase
approximately $2,000,000, the Hospital incurred approximately
$800,000 in registry costs. In order to stay competitive
within the market, the Hospital must continue to maintain a
wage scale that is comparable to other facilities in rural
areas. As of year end, management had been successful in
hiring the required staff and, therefore, the cost for nursing
registry will decrease significantly

The continued reduction in third-party reimbursement is the
major contributing factor to the increase in contractual
allowances. The Hospital is still dealing with third-party
payors to finalize cost reports under audits. Management is
actively appealing various adjustments made by the
intermediary, and, even though, it appears the Hospital will
prevail on various issues, no amount will be booked as a
receivable until the ultimate outcome of the appeal is known.
Mainly caused by the lower than expected reimbursement rate
effect of the change in estimate, the Company recorded a loss
of $843,000 compared to net income of $383,000 in the prior
year. Management feels strongly that this loss was caused by
the significant increase in the percentage of estimated
allowances compared to patient receivables, a balance sheet
adjustment. Even though all hospitals continue to be
negatively impacted by poor reimbursement contracts with third
party payers, if the required daily census can be maintained
at the increased level experienced in the current year and
costs are controlled, management anticipates continued
profitable operations.

The Company continues to enjoy a large positive current ratio
with current assets exceeding current liabilities by
$7,605,000. As the market has been in a down trend, the
investment portfolio for equity stocks has suffered an
approximate $842,000 decrease in fair value. This decrease is
a large contributing factor to the decrease in current assets
as well as the decrease in total stockholders' equity.
Management hopes that this decrease in fair value is a
short-term loss and will be recovered as the economy improves.
The Company continues to enjoy good returns on its investments
to help maintain operations. For the current year, sales of
investments resulted in gains of $20,000, while total
investment income was $462,000. As discussed in Item 1, the
Company continues to expand operations to maintain a
competitive edge in a continuing ever changing health care
environment. All construction projects considered necessary to
maintain operations will be completed without negative impact
on the financial statements.

-9-



2002 continued
--------------

The purpose of these projects is to keep the users of the
Hospital in their primary service area when health care is
required, thereby enhancing the Hospital's inpatient service
occupancy. By so doing, it is anticipated that operations will
improve, even though the continued burden of government
contractual agreements to provide health care, sometimes below
cost, is being further complicated by the introduction of
managed care contracts in the Humboldt County area.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The Company's financial condition remains very strong with
substantial investments, strong liquidity and minimal debt.
The current ratio is 1.87 to 1. The cash and liquid
investments are being maintained to subsidize Hospital
operations and to finance needed construction and increased
services at Mad River Community Hospital. Currently, the
Company has approximately $5,798,000 in cash and short-term
investments. Included in this amount are $1,771,000 in
unrealized holding gains. The short-term equity investments
are collateral for the $2,374,000 line of credit at June 30,
2002.

Cash from operating and investing activities continue to fund
investing activities, the largest of which is the purchase of
real estate, property and equipment, which totaled $1,187,000
in 2002. As the long-term debt relates only to the acquisition
of major equipment, cash required for financing activities
remains relatively low. The Hospital is currently seeking
alternatives for additional long-term financing to finance
major renovation and construction projects. The Hospital is
seeking $4,000,000 in long-term financing to complete the
attached medical building under construction. The proceeds
from this financing will also be used to pay off the
$1,074,000 term loan.

As discussed in Item I, government regulations, as well as
managed care contract agreements, may continue to negatively
impact operations. Management is unable to estimate any
potential negative impact of forthcoming laws or regulations.
Management believes that long-term key employees approve of
the working conditions at the Hospital and have proven their
ability to keep the Hospital staffed under difficult
conditions.

Inflation
---------
According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics Urban
Consumer Price Index, the inflation factor affecting costs for
medical care services has averaged approximately 5% over the
last three years. This moderate rate contributed to the
Hospital's success in maintaining a moderate increase in costs
from year to year.

2001
----

Results of Operations
---------------------

Hospital revenues increased during 2001 as the Hospital
continues to expand services to encourage use. Use of
inpatient and outpatient services increased, and there was a
rate increase. Patient revenue totaled $56,889,000 in 2001
compared to $50,615,000 in 2000, a 12.3% increase of
$6,274,000.

Contractual allowances totaled $30,449,000 in 2001 compared to
$27,579,000 in 2000, a 10.4% increase. Government regulatory
agencies attempt to reimburse the Hospital based on cost of
services. But, as the government continues its efforts to cut
back on rising health care payments, the actual reimbursement
to the Hospital continues to decrease as evidenced by the
large increase in contractual allowances. For the three years
ended June 30, 2001, contractual allowances and provisions for
bad debts have amounted to approximately $77,700,000 or 51% of
gross revenue. At times the Hospital is unable to even recoup
costs on Medicare patients under the current methodology of
reimbursement. Medi-Cal has also imposed certain limitations
that negatively impacted the amount the Hospital is reimbursed
for Medi- Cal patients.

Operating costs and expenses were $27,895,000 compared to
$24,908,000 in 2000, a 11.9% increase. The main cause of the
increase is caused by an increase in salaries and related cost
to health care providers within the facility. These increases
were necessary to keep the Hospital's wage scale more in line

payors to finalize cost reports under audits. Management is
actively appealing various adjustments made by the
intermediary, and, even though, it appears the Hospital will
prevail on various issues, no amount will be booked as a
receivable until the ultimate outcome of the appeal is known.
Net income before income taxes is $597,000 in 2001 compared to
$696,000 in 2000. Even though the Hospital continues to be
negatively impacted by poor reimbursement contracts with third
party payers, if the required daily census can be maintained
and costs are controlled, management anticipates continued
profitable operations.

-11-



2001 continued
----

Over the years, as the Company incurs more contractual
allowances and uncollectible accounts, results from operations
have suffered. The Company continues to enjoy good returns on
its investments to help maintain a net profit. For the current
year, sales of investments resulted in gains of $41,000, while
total investment income was $378,000. As discussed in Item 1,
the Company continues to expand operations to maintain a
competitive edge in a continuing ever changing health care
environment. All construction projects, considered necessary
to maintain operations, will be completed without negative

AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002, 2001 AND 2000

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------

Organization
------------

The Corporation owns and operates one acute-care hospital, Mad River
Community Hospital, located in Arcata, California. The Hospital
provides inpatient, outpatient and emergency care services for
residents of Humboldt County. It also operates other health care
related enterprises in the same location. Admitting physicians are
primarily practitioners in the local area. The Company was incorporated
as a C-Corporation in California in 1955.

Use of Estimates
----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash in checking and demand savings
accounts. Cash is substantially held in one financial institution.

Investments
-----------

Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair
values and all investments in debt securities are measured at fair
value in the balance sheets. An investment in oil and gas properties
represents approximately 19% of the total investment in marketable
securities. All investments are held for sale. Investment income or
loss (including realized gains and losses on investments, interest,
royalties and dividends) is included in net income. Unrealized gains
and losses on investments are excluded from net income but are reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Property and Equipment
----------------------

Property and equipment acquisitions are recorded at cost. Depreciation
is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable
asset and is computed on the straight-line method. (lives range from
three to thirty years) Equipment under capital leases is amortized on
the straight-line method over the shorter period of the lease term or
the estimated useful life of the equipment. Such amortization is
included in depreciation and amortization in the financial statements.
Interest cost incurred on borrowed funds during the period of
construction of capital assets is capitalized as a component of the
cost of acquiring those assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

Statements of Income
--------------------

Transactions deemed by management to be ongoing, major or central to
the provision of health care services are reported as revenues and
expenses. Peripheral or incidental transactions are reported as other
income, net.

Net Patient Service Revenue
---------------------------

The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established
rates. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per
discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges and per diem payments.
Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable
amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services
rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under
reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive
adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related
services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final
settlements are determined.

Estimated Malpractice Costs
---------------------------

The provision for estimated medical malpractice claims includes
estimates for the ultimate costs for both reported claims and claims
incurred but not reported.

Income Taxes
------------

Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated income tax effect
of temporary differences between financial and taxable income.

Investment in Partnership
-------------------------

Investment in a partnership is carried at the Company's equity in the
partnership's net assets. The partnership was organized in 1968 to
provide property sites for the hospital and medical centers. The two
general partners, the Company and its president, own 26% each. The
limited partners, consisting of local doctors, own the remaining 48%.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." This statement requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Also, in general, long- lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of should be reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell.

Reclassifications
-----------------

Certain accounts from prior years financial statements have been
reclassified to be comparable with disclosure for the current year.

(2) NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
---------------------------

The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established
rates. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party
payors follows:

* MEDICARE. Inpatient acute care services rendered to Medicare
program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined
rates per discharge. These rates vary according to a patient
classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic,
and other factors. Inpatient nonacute services, certain
outpatient services, and defined capital and medical education
costs related to Medicare beneficiaries are paid based on a
cost reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed for
cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final
settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports
by the Hospital and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal
intermediary. The Hospital's classification of patients under
the Medicare program and the appropriateness of their
admission are subject to an independent review by a peer
review organization under contract with the Hospital. The
Hospital's Medicare cost reports have been audited by the
Medicare fiscal intermediary through June 30, 1998.

* MEDICAID. Inpatient services rendered to Medicaid program
beneficiaries are reimbursed under a cost reimbursement
methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed at a tentative rate
with final settlement determined after submission of annual
cost reports by the Hospital and audits thereof by the
Medicaid fiscal intermediary. The Hospital's Medicaid cost
reports have been audited by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary
through June 30, 1998.

The Hospital has also entered into payment agreements with certain
commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and
preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to the Hospital
under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per
discharge, discounts from established charges and prospectively
determined daily rates.

(2) NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, continued
--------------------------

Gross patient service revenue and related provision for contractual
allowances for the years ended June 30, are summarized as follows:


2002 2001 2000
---- ---- ----


Gross patient service revenue $69,530,413 $56,889,189 $50,615,111
Less contractual allowances 38,983,381 29,225,660 25,855,883
----------- ----------- -----------
Net patient service revenue $30,547,032 $27,663,529 $24,759,228
=========== =========== ===========


At June 30, 2002 and 2001, accounts receivable are primarily
concentrated in federal and state governmental entities and other
patients in which the Company does not believe there are any undue
credit risk.

In prior years, the contractual allowance percentage of patient service
revenue has averaged approximately 51%. Third party payors' payments
for services rendered to patients has continued to decrease, most
significantly, in the current year. Therefore, management has elected
to make a change in the methodology for estimating estimated
allowances. The effect of this change has increased the percentage of
contractual allowances to patient service revenue to approximately 56%.
(Note 3)

(3) CHANGE IN ESTIMATE
------------------

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, management recognized that
the estimated allowances account needed to be increased to reflect the
reduced payments received for services rendered. At any financial
reporting period, the amount of services billed but not collected is
recorded in the patient receivable account. The estimated allowances
account represents an estimate of the amount of patient receivables
that have been billed but will not be collected because of the third
party payers methodology for reimbursement. As discussed in Note 2, the
Hospital has various contractual agreements with third-party payers for
reimbursement of patient services billed. Each year the amount of
reimbursement under contractual agreement, Medicare, Medi-Cal and Blue
Cross being the largest providers, has not kept up with the rising cost
of healthcare, most specifically the cost for nurses and medical
technicians of which there is a shortage nation wide. As the lack of
adequate reimbursement is a problem for all healthcare providers,
management believes that third- party payers, most specifically
Medicare and Medi-Cal will need to change their methodology for
reimbursement to insure, at a minimum, that Hospital costs are
reimbursed.


-26-



AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

(3) CHANGE IN ESTIMATE, CONTINUED
-----------------------------

Historically, the average percent of contractual allowances to gross
patient revenue has been approximately 51%. (retention percent).
Unfortunately, the actual average retention percent for bills rendered
to patients receiving care from the Hospital is now closer to 54%.
Therefore, the estimated allowance amount, per the balance sheet, has
increased from 37.8% of gross receivables at June 30, 2001, to 49.5% at
June 30, 2002, 54% for inpatients and outpatients of the Hospital. This
change, made in the year ended June 30, 2002, covers approximately
$5,207,700 in billings made over the current and past years. Management
does not anticipate that an additional adjustment for a change in
estimate will be necessary in subsequent years.

(4) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
---------------------

Cost and fair value of marketable equity securities at June 30, 2002
and 2001, are as follows:

2002 2001
---- ----
Available for sale:
Cost $ 3,222,291 $ 3,267
Fair Value 4,993,239 5,524,003
Unrealized Gain 2,189,066 2,501,927
Unrealized Loss (418,118) (245,657)

Gain or loss from sale of securities is based on specific
identification of the securities sold. The change in net unrealized
holding gains on securities available for sale, net of the tax effect,
of $(301,208), $(327,952) and $(156,791) for the years ended June 30,
2002, 2001 and 2000 have been charged to comprehensive income. For the
years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, realized gains and realized
losses were $746,065 and $(726,524), $276,863 and $(235,589), and
$343,889 and $(176,299), respectively.

The Company has a line of credit with the Wells Fargo Bank, secured by
the equity investment portfolio. The maximum amount available under the
line of credit at June 30, 2002 is $2,500,000, of which $2,374,150 is
outstanding. The interest rate at June 30, 2002 and 2001 was 4.75% and
7.00%, respectively. The average short-term borrowing rate for the
Company was 5.25% and 7.24% for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Deferred tax expenses (credits) for 2002, 2001, and 2000 result from
the following temporary differences:

In addition, deferred tax liability is recorded in the balance sheet,
resulting from the change in unrealized holdings for investments. The
change in deferred income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2002 and
2001 was $(184,139) and $(218,635), respectively.

Recorded income tax expense (benefit) differs from that computed by
applying the statutory income tax rates for the following reasons:

(10) PREFERRED STOCK
---------------

The preferred stock provides for cumulative dividends of $2 per share
per year. The stock has a redemption and liquidating value of $27.50
per share, plus dividends in arrears. Total redemption and liquidating
value of the outstanding shares at June 30, 2002 and 2001, was
$1,277,955 and $1,278,382, respectively. In the event of redemption,
two shares of common stock can be issued for each share of preferred
stock redeemed (if option is exercised by preferred stockholder).
Redemption of the preferred stock is at the option of the Company.

(11) (LOSS) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
--------------------------------

Basic (loss) earnings per common share were computed by dividing the
net (loss) income after deduction of preferred stock dividend
requirements of $92,942, $92,973 and $93,657, by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding (222,465, 223,092 and 224,298) for
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Diluted earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, after
redemption of preferred stock, (315,588 and 317,255) for 2001 and 2000,
respectively. For 2002, there was an anti-dilutive effect for all
shares.

(12) MALPRACTICE INSURANCE ARRANGEMENTS
----------------------------------

The Hospital purchases professional and general liability insurance to
cover medical malpractice insurance claims. The coverage, through a
commercial insurance carrier, is on a claims-made basis. Under
claims-made policies, all accidents reported to the insurer are
covered. On the basis of the Hospital's current experience, neither an
accrual for a potential extended period reporting policy, which could
be necessary if the Hospital ceases to purchase claims-made coverage,
nor an accrual for unreported incidents has been made.

(13) 401(K) PLAN
-----------

The Plan is a defined contribution plan to which all employees are
permitted to make salary deferrals under the 401(k) provision. Such
contributions are credited directly to their accounts. Based on the
Plan document, the Company can make discretionary contributions for the
participants. The Company made a $34,636 contribution to the plan for
the year ended June 30, 2002. No Company contribution was made for any
of the two years ended June 30, 2001.

(14) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
-----------------------------

The Hospital grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of
whom are local residents and are insured under third-party payor
agreements. The mix of receivables from patients and third-party payors
at June 30, 2002 and 2001, was as follows:

2002 2001
---- ----
Medicare 44.1% 38.8%
Medi-Cal 18.9 11.6
Other third-party payors 29.1 39.0
Patients 7.9 10.6

(15) SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM
----------------------

The Hospital has elected to self-insure for health care benefits to its
employees. Amounts charged to expense are based on claims processed and
approved by a third-party administrator, Capital Administrators. Claims
incurred but not recorded are estimated and charged to expense.
Management believes that amounts provided are sufficient to cover
claims and costs incurred through June 30, 2002. The rates used to
determine the amounts charged to expense for claims and costs are
adjusted periodically, as appropriate, to reflect actual experience.
The Hospital has insurance coverage for individual claim expenses in
excess of $75,000 and for aggregate claim expenses in excess of
$1,739,750.

Health care benefit expense was $1,867,391, $1,498,230 and $830,022 for
the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------

COMMITMENTS. The Company has entered into an agreement for
approximately $1,140,000 to construct the exterior shell of a medical
building adjacent to the Hospital. In that regard, the Company is
pursuing a real estate loan of approximately $4,000,000. The proceeds
from the proposed financing will be used to pay off the term loan and
finish construction of the medical building. As of June 30, 2002,
approximately $508,000 has been paid on the construction contract for
the building shell.

Total rental expense for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000,
was $296,277, $386,346, and $388,708, respectively. All leases are
currently month to month obligations. With the completion of the
medical building, the Company anticipates that certain departments
currently occupying leased office space will occupy the medical
building which will result in an approximate $21,000 reduction in
monthly lease cost.

LITIGATION. The Hospital is involved in litigation and regulatory
investigations arising in the course of business. After consultation
with legal counsel and insurance carriers, management estimates that
these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the
Hospital's future financial position or results from operations.

SEISMIC REGULATIONS. The state of California has passed legislation
requiring hospitals to perform structural evaluations of their
buildings and upgrade facilities to meet certain minimum seismic
standards by 2008. The Hospital has performed the initial evaluations
and will meet seismic standards by the required date.

AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONCLUDED

(17) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
-----------------------

The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
factors. The Hospital's operations are in part dependent on
governmental reimbursement plans. Significant changes in the level of
governmental reimbursement could have a favorable or unfavorable impact
on the operating results of the Hospital. Also, as additional managed
health care plans are introduced into the service area, actual
admissions to the Hospital could increase or decrease depending on the
Hospital's ability to contract with the health plans.

(18) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
------------------------------------

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based
on relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument; they are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that
could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire
holdings of a particular instrument. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.

Since the fair value is estimated as of June 30, 2002, the amounts that
will actually be realized or paid at settlement of the instruments
could be significantly different.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is assumed to be the
fair value because of the liquidity of these instruments. Accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded
balance of notes payable are assumed to be the fair value since the
rates specified in the notes approximate current market rates.
