NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1998

(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,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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, 1998.

2. Business Acquisitions:

During the first six months of 1998, the Company completed the
acquisition of 10 physician group practices. Total consideration for
these acquisitions approximated $62 million in cash and 4,136,934
shares of stock in a subsidiary of the Company.

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 1997 and 1998 as if the acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 1997:

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common and potential common shares
outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the
dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated using the treasury
stock method.

5. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued:

During 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires that all items

6. 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. These lawsuits are not expected to result in judgments which
would exceed professional liability insurance coverage, and, therefore
will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results
of operations, financial position or liquidity, notwithstanding any
possible insurance recovery.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 as Compared to Three Months Ended
June 30, 1997

The Company reported net patient service revenue of $46.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $30.6 million for the
same period in 1997, a growth rate of 50.8%. Of this $15.5 million increase,
$14.4 million, or 92.9% 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 $1.5 million, or
5.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 1998. 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 $8.8 million, or 44.6% to $28.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $19.8 million for the
same period in 1997. Of this $8.8 million increase, $6.5 million, or 73.7%, was
attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit growth, and
the remaining $2.3 million was primarily attributable to increased support staff
and resources added in the areas of nursing, management and billing and
reimbursement. Supplies and other operating expenses increased $1.0 million, or
43.9% to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with
$2.4 million for the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of new units.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.1 million, or 110.8% to
$2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $1.0
million for the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of amortization of
goodwill in connection with acquisitions.

Income from operations increased approximately $4.6 million, or 61.4%,
to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $7.5
million for the same period in 1997. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.

The Company earned investment income of approximately $45,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with approximately $563,000 for
the same period in 1997. The decrease in investment income resulted primarily
from the use of funds in connection with acquisitions.

The effective income tax rate was approximately 40.0% for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Net income increased 49.1% to $7.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared with $4.8 million for the same period in 1997. Net
income as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 15.4% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 15.6% for the same period in 1997
primarily as a result of a decrease in investment income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 as Compared to Six Months Ended
June 30, 1997

The Company reported net patient service revenue of $84.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $57.6 million for the same
period in 1997, a growth rate of 45.7%. Of this $26.4 million increase, $24.8
million, or 93.9% was attributable to new units at which the Company provides
services as a result of acquisitions. Same unit patient service revenue,
exclusive of administrative fees, increased $2.3 million, or 5.2%, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. 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 $14.8 million, or 39.5% to $52.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $37.4 million
for the same period in 1997. Of this $14.8 million increase, $10.9 million, or
73.6%, was attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit

9
growth,  and the remaining $3.9 million was primarily  attributable to increased
support staff and resources added in the areas of nursing, management and
billing and reimbursement. Supplies and other operating expenses increased $1.6
million, or 36.5% to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as
compared with $4.5 million for the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of
new units. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.0 million, or
112.9% to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with
$1.8 million for the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of amortization
of goodwill in connection with acquisitions.

Income from operations increased approximately $8.0 million, or 56.7%,
to $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $14.0
million for the same period in 1997. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.

The Company earned investment income of approximately $491,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $1.3 million for the same
period in 1997. The decrease in investment income resulted primarily from the
use of funds in connection with acquisitions.

The effective income tax rate was approximately 40.0% for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Net income increased 45.7% to $13.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared with $9.1 million for the same period in 1997. Net
income as a percentage of net patient service revenue was 15.8% for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of approximately
$15.9 million, a decrease of $38.0 million from the working capital of $53.9
million available at December 31, 1997. The decrease is principally a result of
funds utilized for acquisitions during the first six months of 1998, offset by
cash generated from operations.

The Company anticipates that funds generated from operations together
with cash 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings
------------------
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. These lawsuits are not expected to result in
judgments which would exceed professional liability insurance coverage,
and, therefore will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity,
notwithstanding any possible insurance recovery.

During 1998, the Internal Revenue Service concluded its
examination of the Company for the tax years ended December 31, 1992,
1993 and 1994. The resolution of the examination did not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
