PEDIATRIX MEDICAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1997

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pediatrix")
presented herein do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, these financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. The interim condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 31, 1997.

2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS:

During the first six months of 1997, the Company completed the
acquisition of six physician group practices in Dallas, Texas;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Tacoma, Washington; South Bend, Indiana;
Pasadena, California and Columbia, South Carolina. Additionally, 3
neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) were added through the Company's
internal marketing activities. Total cash paid for these units
approximated $27 million, adding a total of 14 NICUs.

The Company has accounted for the acquisitions using the purchase
method of accounting and the excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25
years. The results of operations of the acquired practices have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of
acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated
results of operations of the Company and the physician group practices
acquired during 1996 and 1997 as if the acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 1996:

operations.

4. NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE:

Primary and fully diluted net income per share is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent
shares consist of the dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated
using the treasury stock method.

5. CONTINGENCIES:

During the ordinary course of business, the Company has become a party
to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which
involve claims of medical malpractice and are generally covered by
insurance. The Company believes that the outcome of such legal actions
and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity,
notwithstanding any possible insurance recovery.

The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue
Service for the tax years ended December 31, 1992, 1993, and 1994. The
IRS has challenged certain deductions that, if disallowed, would result
in additional taxes of approximately $4.5 million, plus interest. The
Company has reviewed the IRS matters under consideration and believes
that the tax returns are substantially correct as filed. The Company
intends to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments and believes it
has adequately provided for any liability that may result from this
examination. The Company and its tax advisors believe that the ultimate
resolution of the examination will not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

The Company has been notified by a hospital customer of a dispute
regarding the interpretation of the customer's contract with the
Company. The customer believes that the Company should refund
approximately $7.5 million of payments made to the Company over the
last five years. The Company disagrees with the customer's
interpretation of the contract and believes that the matter will be
resolved amicably. In the unlikely event that the Company cannot
resolve this matter amicably, the Company intends to vigorously
litigate the matter and assert all its legal defenses. The Company
believes that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

6. CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In February, 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share". This statement is designed to improve the earnings per
share ("EPS") information provided in financial statements by
simplifying the existing computational guidelines, revising the
disclosure requirements, and increasing the comparability of EPS data
on an international basis. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Under the
provisions of SFAS 128, basic EPS would have been $.32 and $.23 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $.61 and
$.43 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Diluted EPS would have been the same as the reported amounts.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of
two physician group practices. Total cash paid for these acquisitions
approximated $20 million. The acquisitions will be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1996

The Company reported net patient service revenue of $30.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $17.8 million for the
same period in 1996, a growth rate of 71.8%. Of this $12.8 million increase,
$12.4 million, or 96.9% was attributable to new units, including units at which
the Company provides services as a result of acquisitions. Same unit patient
service revenue, exclusive of administrative fees, increased $574,000, or 4.3%,
for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Same units are those units at which
the Company provided services for the entire period for which the percentage is
calculated and the entire comparable period. The same unit growth resulted from
volume increases as there were no general price increases.

Salaries and benefits increased $8.2 million, or 71.3% to $19.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $11.6 million for the
same period in 1996. Of this $8.2 million increase, $6.2 million, or 75.3%, was
attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit growth, and
the remaining $2.0 million was primarily attributable to increased support staff
and resources added in the areas of nursing, executive management and billing
and reimbursement. Supplies and other operating expenses increased $1.1 million,
or 85.8% to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared
with $1.3 million for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of new
units. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $673,000, or 200.9% to
$1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $335,000
for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill
in connection with acquisitions.

Income from operations increased approximately $2.8 million, or 60.0%,
to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $4.7
million for the same period in 1996. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.

The Company earned investment income of approximately $563,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $423,000 for the same period
in 1996. The increase in investment income resulted primarily from additional
funds available for investment due to proceeds from the secondary public
offering completed in the third quarter of 1996 as well as cash flow from
operations.

The effective income tax rate was approximately 40% for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

Net income increased 57.1% to $4.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared with $3.0 million for the same period in 1996. Net
income as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 15.6% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 17.0% for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996

The Company reported net patient service revenue of $57.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $33.9 million for the same
period in 1996, a growth rate of 69.8%. This $23.7 million increase was
primarily attributable to new units. Same unit patient service revenue,
exclusive of administrative fees, increased $262,000, or 1.1%, for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Same units are those units at which the Company
provided services for the entire period for which the percentage is calculated
and the entire comparable period.

10



Salaries and benefits increased $15.1 million, or 67.4% to $37.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $22.3 million
for the same period in 1996. Of this $15.1 million increase, $11.3 million, or
74.8%, was attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit
growth, and the remaining $3.8 million was primarily attributable to increased
support staff and resources added in the areas of nursing, executive management
and billing and reimbursement. Supplies and other operating expenses increased
$2.0 million, or 79.7% to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
as compared with $2.5 million for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result
of new units. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.2 million,
or 215.3% to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared
with $568,000 for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of amortization
of goodwill in connection with acquisitions.

Income from operations increased approximately $5.5 million, or 63.5%,
to $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $8.5
million for the same period in 1996. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.

The Company earned investment income of approximately $1.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $922,000 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in investment income resulted primarily from
additional funds available for investment due to proceeds from the secondary
public offering completed in the third quarter of 1996 as well as cash flow
from operations.

The effective income tax rate was approximately 40% for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

Net income increased 60.7% to $9.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared with $5.6 million for the same period in 1996. Net
income as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 15.8% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 16.6% for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately
$67.0 million, a decrease of $14.2 million from the working capital of $81.2
million available at December 31, 1996. The decrease is principally a result of
funds utilized for acquisitions during the first six months of 1997, offset by
cash generated from operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, capital expenditures
amounted to approximately $1.1 million principally for computer hardware and
software and furniture and fixtures. For the remainder of 1997, the Company
anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 million, principally for
computer hardware and software.

The Company anticipates that funds generated from operations together
with cash and marketable securities on hand and funds available under its credit
facility, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements and
finance any required capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.
