NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 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 nine months ended
September 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 nine months of 1997, the Company completed the
acquisition of nine physician group practices in various locations
throughout the country. Additionally, three neonatal intensive care
units (NICUs) were added through the Company's internal marketing
activities. Total cash paid for these units approximated $52 million,
adding a total of 29 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:

the period, nor are they indicative of the results of future combined
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

7

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

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 $.37
and $.25 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, and 1996,
respectively, and $.97 and $.68 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Diluted EPS would have been the same
as the reported amounts.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company completed the
acquisition of one physician group practice. Total cash paid for this
acquisition approximated $3.5 million. The acquisition will be
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

On October 21, 1997 the Company increased the amount of funds
available under its credit facility from $30.0 million to $75.0
million.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

The Company reported net patient service revenue of $34.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with $22.4 million for
the same period in 1996, a growth rate of 53.7%. This $12.0 million increase
was primarily 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, was essentially flat for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. 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.

Salaries and benefits increased $7.4 million, or 50.6% to $21.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with $14.5
million for the same period in 1996. Of this $7.4 million increase, $5.4
million 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 $727,000, or 41.8% to $2.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared with $1.7 million for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of new units. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $735,000, or 135.4% to $1.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared with $543,000 for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.

Income from operations increased approximately $3.2 million, or 57.7%,
to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with
$5.6 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 $422,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with $535,000 for the same
period in 1996. The decrease in investment income resulted primarily from funds
used in connection with acquisitions.

The effective income tax rate was approximately 40% and 41% for the
three month periods ended September 30, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

Net income increased 54.4% to $5.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared with $3.6 million for the same period in 1996.
Net income as a percentage of net patient service revenue increased to 16.0%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 15.9% for the same
period in 1996.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997, AS COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

The Company reported net patient service revenue of $92.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with $56.3 million for
the same period in 1996, a growth rate of 63.4%. This $35.8 million increase
was primarily attributable to new units. Same unit patient service revenue,
exclusive of administrative fees, increased $600,000, or 1.7%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. 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 $22.4 million, or 60.7% to $59.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with $36.9
million for the same period in 1996. Of this $22.4 million increase, $16.7
million was attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new
unit growth, and the remaining $5.7 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 $2.7 million, or 64.1% to $6.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared with $4.2 million for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of new units. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $2.0 million, or 176.2% to $3.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared with $1.1 million for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.

Income from operations increased approximately $8.7 million, or 61.2%,
to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with
$14.1 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 $1.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with $1.5 million 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. These amounts were offset by funds used in connection with
acquisitions.

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

Net income increased 58.3% to $14.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared with $9.2 million for the same period in 1996.
Net income as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 15.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 16.4% for the same
period in 1996, primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection
with acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of
approximately $47.6 million, a decrease of $33.6 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 nine
months of 1997, offset by cash generated from operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, capital expenditures
amounted to approximately $1.6 million principally for computer hardware and
software and furniture and fixtures. For the remainder of 1997, the Company
anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $500,000, principally for
computer hardware and software.

On October 21, 1997 the Company increased the amount of funds
available under its credit facility from $30.0 million to $75.0 million. 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.
