Located at 19605 N.E. 8th St., Camas, Washington 98607. No convictions or administrative proceedings as described in Item 2(d) and (e). Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Source of funds is money invested in the partnership by its partners. Aggregate amount invested by D3 in AMED is $6,437,700. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction We have modified the objective of our investment in Amedisys from passive investment to a more active role in helping the company build the capabilities and resources required to exploit fully the market opportunities available to it. In September, 2002, we wrote to the board of directors making suggestions about governance, profitability, and financial public relations. We continue to address these topics with members of the board, with management, and with other shareholders of the company. We believe that recent concerns about reimbursement rates have driven the share price to an extremely undervalued level. Item 5.
