NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F 10-Q, N-SAR
or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

In connection with the formulation of a strategy to address the Company's
near-term liquidity issues, Omega executed definitive documentation with
Explorer Holdings, L.P. ("Explorer") on May 11, 2000, pursuant to which Explorer
will purchase up to $200.0 million of the capital stock of Omega. In addition,
Omega's management was also engaged in simultaneous negotiations with certain of
the Company's senior lenders regarding the terms of a new credit facility. As a
result of the complex nature of these transactions and their importance to Omega
in light of the pending liquidity issues, management has been unable to devote
the necessary resources required in order to make a timely filing of the Form
10-Q referred to above.



PART IV
OTHER INFORMATION

notification

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is
no, identify report(s).
[X] Yes [_] No

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
[X] Yes [_] No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.

Challenging regulatory and market conditions adversely impacting operators
of long-term care facilities have resulted in the commencement of bankruptcy
proceedings by several of the Company's operators during the quarter ended March
31, 2000. During this quarter, Omega experienced a reduction in revenue of
approximately 13% as compared to the comparable prior year period. On May 11,
2000, Omega announced that it had suspended its dividend payable during the
second quarter and the resumption of dividends is dependent upon, inter alia,
the completion of certain recently announced transactions. Summary earnings for
the first quarter of 2000 were publicly released on May 2, 2000.
