UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------

(1) General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Health
Services, Inc. (the "Company"), its majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships
controlled by the Company or its subsidiaries as managing general partner. The
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of the
Company, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, significant
accounting policies and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

(2) Related Party Transactions

At March 31, 2002, the Company held approximately 6.6% of the outstanding shares
of Universal Health Realty Income Trust (the "Trust"). The Company serves as
Advisor to the Trust under an annually renewable advisory agreement pursuant to
the terms of which the Company conducts the Trust's day to day affairs, provides
administrative services and presents investment opportunities. In connection
with this advisory agreement, the Company earned an advisory fee from the Trust
of approximately $300,000 in each of the three months periods ended March 31,
2002 and 2001 which is included in net revenues in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. In addition, certain officers and directors of the Company
are also officers and/or directors of the Trust. Management believes that it has
the ability to exercise significant influence over the Trust and therefore the
Company accounts for its investment in the Trust using the equity method of
accounting. The Company's pre-tax share of income from the Trust was $300,000 in
each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and is included
in net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of
March 31, 2002, the Company leased six hospital facilities from the Trust with
terms expiring in 2003 through 2006. These leases contain up to six 5-year
renewal options. Total rent expense under these operating leases was $4.2
million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $4.1 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2001.

(3) Other Noncurrent and Minority Interest Liabilities

Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's
professional and general liability, compensation reserves, and pension
liability.

The minority interest liability consists primarily of a 27.5% outside ownership
interest in three acute care facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada, a 20%
outside ownership in an acute care facility located in Washington D.C. and a 20%
outside ownership interest in an operating company that owns nine hospitals in
France.

(4) Commitment and Contingencies

Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an aggregate
of $62 million related principally to the Company's self-insurance programs and
as support for various debt instruments and loan guarantees, including a $40
million surety bond related to the Company's 1997 acquisition of an 80%
ownership interest in The George Washington University Hospital.

For the period from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001, most of the
Company's subsidiaries were covered under commercial insurance policies with
PHICO, a Pennsylvania based insurance

Page 6 of 21 Pages
company. The policies provided for a self-insured retention limit for
professional and general liability claims for the Company's subsidiaries up to
$1 million per occurrence, with an average annual aggregate for covered
subsidiaries of $7 million through 2001. These subsidiaries maintained excess
coverage up to $100 million with other major insurance carriers.

Early in the first quarter of 2002, PHICO was placed in liquidation by the
Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner and as a result, the Company recorded a
pre-tax charge to earnings of $40 million during the fourth quarter of 2001 to
reserve for malpractice expenses that may result from PHICO's liquidation. PHICO
continues to have substantial liability to pay claims on behalf of the Company
and although those claims could become the Company's liability, the Company may
be entitled to receive reimbursement from state insurance guaranty funds and/or
PHICO's estate for a portion of certain claims ultimately paid by the Company.
The Company expects that the cash payments related to these claims will be made
over the next eight years as the cases are settled or adjudicated. In estimating
the $40 million pre-tax charge, the Company evaluated all known factors,
however, there can be no assurance that the Company's ultimate liability will
not be materially different than the estimated charge recorded. Additionally, if
the ultimate PHICO liability assumed by the Company is substantially greater
than the established reserve, there can be no assurance that the additional
amount required will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
results of operations.

(5) Acquisitions

At the end of December, 2001, the Company acquired a 150-bed acute care facility
located in Lansdale, Pennsylvania and a 117-bed acute care facility located in
Lancaster, California. The transfer of ownership of both of these facilities was
effective January 1, 2002. As of December 31, 2001, the Company recorded the $70
million combined purchase price for these two facilities in other assets (as
deposits) and as of January 1, 2002, reclassified the combined purchase price
into the appropriate working capital, property and other assets accounts.

(6) Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hedges: The Company has two floating rate swaps having a
combined notional principal amount of $60 million in which the Company receives
a fixed rate of 6.75% and pays a floating rate equal to 6 month LIBOR plus a
spread. The term of these swaps is ten years and they are both scheduled to
expire on November 15, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the
Company recorded an increase of $500,000 in other non-current liabilities to
recognize the fair value of these swaps and a $500,000 decrease in long-term
debt to recognize the difference between the carrying value and fair value of
the related hedged liability.

Cash Flow Hedges: During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company
recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), pre-tax income of $1.7 million
($1.1 million after-tax) to recognize the change in fair value of all
derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The income or
losses are reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects
earnings, such as when the forecast interest payment occurs. Assuming market
rates remain unchanged from March 31, 2002, it is expected that $5.3 million of
pre-tax net losses in accumulated OCI will be reclassified into earnings within
the next twelve months. The Company also recorded after-tax income of $9,000
during the three months ended March 31, 2002 to recognize the ineffective
portion of the cash flow hedging instruments. As of March 31, 2002, the maximum
length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability
in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is through August, 2005.

As of March 31, 2002, the Company has one fixed rate swap with a notional
principal amount of $125 million which expires in August, 2005. The Company pays
a fixed rate of 6.76% and receives a floating rate equal to three month LIBOR.
As of March 31, 2002, the floating rate of the $125 million of interest rate
swaps was 1.90%.

(7) New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all
business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method and
establishes criteria for the recognition of intangible assets apart from
goodwill. SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 required the Company to cease amortizing goodwill that
existed as of June 30, 2001. Recorded goodwill balances will be reviewed for
impairment at least annually and written down if the carrying value of the
goodwill balance exceeds its fair value.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. As required by SFAS No.
142, the Company performed an impairment test on goodwill as of January 1, 2002,
which indicated no impairment of goodwill. As of January 1, 2002, the Company is
no longer amortizing goodwill. Goodwill amortization in 2001 was approximately
$24 million on a pre-tax basis and approximately $15.1 million or $0.23 per
diluted share on an after-tax basis. Goodwill amortization for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 was approximately $6 million on a pre-tax basis and
approximately $3.8 million or $0.05 per diluted share on an after-tax basis.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
associated asset retirement costs. The Statement requires that the fair value of
a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in
which it is incurred. The asset retirement obligations will be capitalized as
part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Statement applies to
legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that
result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal operation of
long-lived assets. The Statement is effective for years beginning after June 15,
2002, with earlier adoption permitted. Management does not believe that this
Statement will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of". This Statement also supersedes Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 30 provisions related to accounting and reporting for the
disposal of a segment of a business. This Statement establishes a single
accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Statement retains most of the
requirements in SFAS No. 121 related to the recognition of impairment of
long-lived assets to be held and used. The Company adopted the provisions of
this Statement as of January 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

(8) Segment Reporting

The Company's reportable operating segments consist of acute care services and
behavioral health care services. The "Other" segment column below includes
centralized services including information services, purchasing, reimbursement,
accounting, taxation, legal, advertising, design and construction, and patient
accounting as well as the operating results for the Company's other operating
entities including outpatient surgery and radiation centers and an 80% ownership
interest in an operating company that owns nine hospitals located in France. The
chief operating decision making group for the Company's acute care services and
behavioral health care services located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico is comprised
of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and the lead executives
of each of the Company's two primary operating segments. The lead executive for
each operating segment also manages the profitability of each respective
segment's various hospitals. The acute care and behavioral health services'
operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment
represents a business unit that offers different types of healthcare services.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in the
Company's Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

(9) Earnings Per Share Data ("EPS")

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year adjusted to
give effect to common stock equivalents. In April, 2001, the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend which was paid on
June 1, 2001. All references to share quantities and earnings per share for all
periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for the periods indicated.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Net revenues increased 19% to $804 million for the three months ended March 31,
2002 as compared to $677 million for the three month period ended March 31,
2001. The $127 million increase in net revenues was due primarily to: (i) a $66
million or 10% increase in net revenues generated at acute care and behavioral
health care facilities owned during both periods, and; (ii) $60 million of
revenues generated at three acute care and three behavioral health care
facilities located in the U.S. and nine hospitals located in France which were
acquired by the Company subsequent to January, 2001.

Operating income (defined as net revenues less salaries, wages & benefits, other
operating expenses, supplies expense and provision for doubtful accounts)
increased $18 million to $131 million for the three month period ended March 31,
2002 from $113 million in the comparable prior year quarter. Overall operating
margins (defined as operating income divided by net revenues) were 16.3% in the
2002 first quarter as compared to 16.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
Contributing to the decrease in the overall operating margins during the first
quarter of 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter was a
significant increase in professional and general liability insurance expense
caused by unfavorable pricing and availability trends of commercial insurance.
As a result, as of January 1, 2002, the Company's subsidiaries assumed a greater
portion of the hospital professional and general liability risk and the Company
expects its total insurance expense including professional and general
liability, property, auto and workers' compensation to increase approximately
$25 million in 2002 as compared to 2001.

Acute Care Services
- -------------------

Net revenues from the Company's acute care facilities (including the nine
hospitals located in France) and ambulatory treatment centers accounted for 82%
and 80% of consolidated net revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned in
both quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 increased 11% in the 2002 first
quarter as compared to the comparable 2001 period as admissions and patient days
at these facilities increased

Page 12 of 21 Pages
6% and 7%, respectively. The average length of stay at the acute care hospitals
owned during both quarters increased to 4.9 days for three month period ended
March 31, 2002 as compared to 4.8 days during the 2001 comparable quarter.

In addition to the increase in inpatient volumes, the Company's same facility
net revenues were favorably impacted by an increase in prices charged to private
payors including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider
organizations as well as an increase in Medicare reimbursements which commenced
on April 1, 2001. Net revenue per adjusted admission (adjusted for outpatient
activity) at the Company's acute care facilities owned during both quarters
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 increased 7% in the 2002 quarter as compared to
the 2001 three month period and net revenue per adjusted patient day at these
facilities increased 5% in the 2002 first quarter over the 2001 comparable
quarter. Included in the same facility acute care financial results and patient
statistical data are the operating results generated at the 60-bed McAllen Heart
Hospital which was acquired by the Company in March of 2001. Upon acquisition,
the facility began operating under the same license as an integrated department
of McAllen Medical Center and therefore the financial and statistical results
are not separable.

Despite the increase in patient volume at the Company's acute care hospitals,
inpatient utilization continues to be negatively affected by payor-required,
pre-admission authorization and by payor pressure to maximize outpatient and
alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients.
Additionally, the hospital industry in the United States as well as the
Company's acute care facilities continue to have significant unused capacity
which has created substantial competition for patients. The Company expects the
increased competition, admission constraints and payor pressures to continue.
The increase in net revenue was negatively effected by lower payments from the
government under the Medicare program as a result of the Balanced Budget Act of
1997 ("BBA-97") and discounts to insurance and managed care companies (see
General Trends for additional disclosure). The Company anticipates that the
percentage of its revenue from managed care business will continue to increase
in the future. The Company generally receives lower payments per patient from
managed care payors than it does from traditional indemnity insurers.

At the Company's acute care hospitals, operating expenses, (salaries, wages &
benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and provision for doubtful
accounts) as a percentage of net revenues were 82.6% for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 and 80.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Operating
margins (defined as net revenues less operating expenses divided by net
revenues) at these facilities were 17.4% during the 2002 first quarter and 19.6%
in the comparable prior year quarter. At the Company's acute care hospitals
owned in both three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, operating
expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 82.3% for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 and 80.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Operating
margins at these facilities were 17.7% during the 2002 first quarter and 19.6%
in the comparable prior year quarter.

Despite the strong revenue growth experienced at the Company's acute care
hospitals during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the comparable prior
year quarter, operating margins at these facilities were comparatively lower
during the 2002 quarter due primarily to a significant increase in professional
and general liability insurance expense caused by unfavorable pricing and
availability trends of commercial insurance, as mentioned above. Salaries, wages
and benefits as a percentage of net revenues also increased during the 2002
first quarter as compared to the comparable prior year quarter as a result of
rising labor rates particularly in the area of skilled nursing. Partially
offsetting these unfavorable factors on operating margins at the Company's acute
care facilities during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001, was a
decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of net revenues
caused by improved billing and collection procedures and more aggressive efforts
to properly categorize charges related to charity care.

Behavioral Health Services
- --------------------------

Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services facilities accounted
for 18% and 20% of consolidated net revenues for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net

Page 13 of 21 Pages
revenues at the Company's behavioral health services facilities owned in both
periods increased 4% during the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as
compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to an increase in
patient volume. Admissions and patient days at these facilities increased 5% and
4%, respectively, during the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared
to the comparable prior year quarter. The average length of stay at the
behavioral health services facilities owned in both periods decreased to 11.7
days during the 2002 first quarter as compared to 11.8 days in the comparable
prior year period.

At the Company's behavioral health care facilities, operating expenses
(salaries, wages & benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and
provision for doubtful accounts) as a percentage of net revenues were 80.0% for
the three month period ended March 31, 2002 and 80.2% for the three month period
ended March 31, 2001. Operating margins (defined as net revenues less operating
expenses divided by net revenues) at these facilities were 20.0% during the 2002
first quarter and 19.8% in the comparable prior year quarter. On a same facility
basis, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 79.6% for the
three month period ended March 31, 2002 and 80.2% for the three month period
ended March 31, 2001. Operating margins at these facilities were 20.4% during
the 2002 first quarter and 19.8% in the comparable prior year quarter. In an
effort to maintain and potentially further improve the operating margins at its
behavioral health care facilities, management of the Company continues to
implement cost controls and price increases and has also increased its focus on
receivables management.

Other Operating Results
- -----------------------

The Company recorded minority interest expense in the earnings of consolidated
entities amounting to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
$3.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. The minority
interest expense recorded during both periods includes the minority ownership's
share of the net income of four acute care facilities, three of which are
located in Las Vegas, Nevada and one located in Washington, D.C. Also included
in the minority interest expense recorded during the first quarter of 2002 is
the minority ownership's share of net income of nine acute care facilities
located in France.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $400,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Effective
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" and accordingly, ceased amortizing goodwill as of
that date. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded
approximately $24 million of goodwill amortization expense or approximately $6
million during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Partially offsetting the
decrease caused by the adoption of SFAS No. 142 was an increase in depreciation
expense during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the comparable 2001
quarter caused by capital additions and acquisitions.

The effective tax rate was 36.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as
compared to 36.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

General Trends
- --------------

A significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived from fixed payment
services, including Medicare and Medicaid which accounted for 41% and 40% of the
Company's net patient revenues during the three month periods ended March 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to administrative
rulings, interpretations and discretion which may affect payments made under
either or both of such programs and reimbursement is subject to audit and review
by third party payors. Management believes that adequate provision has been made
for any adjustment that might result therefrom.

The Federal government makes payments to participating hospitals under its
Medicare program based on various formulas. The Company's general acute care
hospitals are subject to a prospective payment system ("PPS"). For inpatient
services, PPS pays hospitals a predetermined amount per diagnostic related group

Page 14 of 21 Pages
("DRG") based upon a hospital's location and the patient's diagnosis. Beginning
August 1, 2000 under a new outpatient prospective payment system ("OPPS")
mandated by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, both general acute and behavioral
health hospitals' outpatient services are paid a predetermined amount per
Ambulatory Payment Classification based upon a hospital's location and the
procedures performed. The Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Balanced Budget
Refinement Act of 1999 ("BBRA of 1999") included "transitional corridor
payments" through fiscal year 2003, which provide some financial relief for any
hospital that generally incurs a reduction to its Medicare outpatient
reimbursement under the new OPPS.

Behavioral health facilities, which are excluded from the inpatient services
PPS, are cost reimbursed by the Medicare program, but are generally subject to a
per discharge ceiling, calculated based on an annual allowable rate of increase
over the hospital's base year amount under the Medicare law and regulations.
Capital related costs are exempt from this limitation. In the Balanced Budget
Act of 1997 ("BBA-97"), Congress significantly revised the Medicare payment
provisions for PPS-excluded hospitals, including behavioral health services
facilities. Effective for Medicare cost reporting periods beginning on or after
October 1, 1997, different caps are applied to behavioral health services
hospitals' target amounts depending upon whether a hospital was excluded from
PPS before or after that date, with higher caps for hospitals excluded before
that date. Congress also revised the rate-of-increase percentages for
PPS-excluded hospitals and eliminated the new provider PPS-exemption for
psychiatric hospitals. In addition, the Health Care Financing Administration,
now known as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), has
implemented requirements applicable to behavioral health services hospitals that
share a facility or campus with another hospital. The BBRA of 1999 requires that
CMS develop an inpatient behavioral health services per diem prospective payment
system effective for the federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2002, however,
it is likely the implementation will be delayed. Upon implementation, this new
prospective payment system will replace the current inpatient behavioral health
services payment system described above.

On August 30, 1991, the CMS issued final Medicare regulations establishing a PPS
for inpatient hospital capital-related costs. These regulations apply to
hospitals which are reimbursed based upon the prospective payment system and
took effect for cost report years beginning on or after October 1, 1991. For
most of the Company's hospitals, the new methodology began on January 1, 1992.
In 2001, the tenth year of the phase-in, most of the Company's hospitals were
paid by the Medicare program based on the federal capital rate (three hospitals
still receive hold harmless payments, which are described below).

The regulations provide for the use of a 10-year transition period during which
a blend of the old and new capital payment provision is utilized. One of two
methodologies applies during the 10-year transition period. If the hospital's
hospital-specific capital rate exceeds the federal capital rate, the hospital is
paid per discharge on the basis of a "hold harmless" methodology, which is the
higher of a blend of a portion of old capital costs and an amount for new
capital costs based on a proportion of the federal capital rate, or 100% of the
federal capital rate. Alternatively, with limited exceptions, if the
hospital-specific rate is below the federal capital rate, the hospital receives
payments based upon a "fully prospective" methodology, which is a blend of the
hospital's hospital-specific capital rate and the federal capital rate. Each
hospital's hospital-specific rate was determined based upon allowable capital
costs incurred during the "base year", which, for most of the Company's
hospitals, was the year ended December 31, 1990. Updated amounts and factors
necessary to determine PPS rates for Medicare hospital inpatient services for
operating costs and capital related costs are published annually.

In addition to the trends described above that continue to have an impact on the
operating results, there are a number of other more general factors affecting
the Company's business. BBA-97 called for the government to trim the growth of
federal spending on Medicare by $115 billion and on Medicaid by $13 billion over
the following years. The act also called for reductions in the future rate of
increases to payments made to hospitals and reduced the amount of reimbursement
for outpatient services, bad debt expense and capital costs. Some of these
reductions were reversed with the passage on December 15, 2000 of the Medicare,
Medicaid and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 ("BIPA")
which, among other things, increased Medicare and Medicaid payments to
healthcare providers by $35 billion over 5 years with approximately $12 billion
of this amount targeted for hospitals and $11 billion for managed care payors.
These increased reimbursements to hospitals pursuant to the terms of BIPA

Page 15 of 21 Pages
commenced in April, 2001. BBA-97 established the annual update for Medicare at
market basket minus 1.1% in both fiscal years 2001 (October 1, 2000 and through
September 30, 2001) and 2002 and BIPA revised the update at the full market
basket in fiscal year 2001 and market basket minus .55% in fiscal years 2002 and
2003. Additionally, BBA-97 reduced reimbursement to hospitals for Medicare bad
debts to 55% and BIPA increased the reimbursement to 70%, with an effective date
for the Company of January 1, 2001. It is possible that future federal budgets
will contain certain further reductions or increases in the rate of increase of
Medicare and Medicaid spending.

The Company can provide no assurances that the reductions in the PPS update, and
other changes required by BBA-97, will not adversely affect the Company's
operations. However, within certain limits, a hospital can manage its costs,
and, to the extent this is done effectively, a hospital may benefit from the DRG
system. However, many hospital operating costs are incurred in order to satisfy
licensing laws, standards of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") and quality of care concerns. In addition,
hospital costs are affected by the level of patient acuity, occupancy rates and
local physician practice patterns, including length of stay and number and type
of tests and procedures ordered. A hospital's ability to control or influence
these factors which affect costs is, in many cases, limited.

In addition to Federal health reform efforts, several states have adopted or are
considering healthcare reform legislation. Several states are considering wider
use of managed care for their Medicaid populations and providing coverage for
some people who presently are uninsured. The enactment of Medicaid managed care
initiatives is designed to provide low-cost coverage. The Company currently
operates three behavioral health centers with a total of 501 beds in
Massachusetts, which has mandated hospital rate-setting. The Company also
operates three hospitals containing an aggregate of 688 beds in Florida that are
subject to a mandated form of rate-setting if increases in hospital revenues per
admission exceed certain target percentages.

In 1991, the Texas legislature authorized the LoneSTAR Health Initiative, a
pilot program in two areas of the state, to establish for Medicaid beneficiaries
a healthcare delivery system based on managed care principles. The program is
now known as the STAR program, which is short for State of Texas Access Reform.
Since 1995, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, with the help of
other Texas agencies such as the Texas Department of Health, has rolled out STAR
Medicaid managed care pilot programs in several geographic areas of the state.
Under the STAR program, the Texas Department of Health either contracts with
health maintenance organizations in each area to arrange for covered services to
Medicaid beneficiaries, or contracts directly with healthcare providers and
oversees the furnishing of care in the role of the case manager. Two carve-out
pilot programs are the STAR+PLUS program, which provides long-term care to
elderly and disabled Medicaid beneficiaries in the Harris County service area,
and the NorthSTAR program, which furnishes behavioral health services to
Medicaid beneficiaries in the Dallas County service area. Effective in the fall
of 1999, however, the Texas legislature imposed a moratorium on the
implementation of additional pilot programs until the 2001 legislative session.
A study on the effectiveness of Medicaid managed care was issued in November,
2000. In June 2001, the state enacted House Bill 3038, which requires the
enrollment in group health plans of Medicaid and SCHIP recipients who are
eligible for such plans, if the state determines that such enrollment is
cost-effective. The effective date for this requirement was September 1, 2001.
The state has indicated, however, that it will not be expanding the Medicaid
Managed Care program to any additional areas within the next year.

Upon meeting certain conditions, and serving a disproportionately high share of
Texas' and South Carolina's low income patients, five of the Company's
facilities located in Texas and one facility located in South Carolina became
eligible and received additional reimbursement from each state's
disproportionate share hospital fund. Included in the Company's financial
results was an aggregate of $8.4 million for the three month period ended March
31, 2002 and $6.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. The
Texas and South Carolina programs have been renewed for the 2002 fiscal years.
However, failure to renew these programs upon their scheduled termination date
(June, 2002 for South Carolina and August, 2002 for Texas), or reductions in
reimbursements, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
results of operations.

Page 16 of 21 Pages
The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations which
include, among other things, matters such as government healthcare participation
requirements, various licensure and accreditations, reimbursement for patient
services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Providers that are found to
have violated these laws and regulations may be excluded from participating in
government healthcare programs, subjected to fines or penalties or required to
repay amounts received from government for previously billed patient services.
While management of the Company believes its policies, procedures and practices
comply with governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that the Company
will not be subjected to governmental inquiries or actions.

Pressures to control health care costs and a shift away from traditional
Medicare to Medicare managed care plans have resulted in an increase in the
number of patients whose health care coverage is provided under managed care
plans. Approximately 39% and 35% of the Company's net patient revenues, for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, were generated from managed
care companies, which includes health maintenance organizations and preferred
provider organizations. In general, the Company expects the percentage of its
business from managed care programs to continue to grow. The consequent growth
in managed care networks and the resulting impact of these networks on the
operating results of the Company's facilities vary among the markets in which
the Company operates. Typically, the Company receives lower payments per patient
from managed care payors than it does from traditional indemnity insurers,
however, during the past two years, the Company secured price increases from
many of its commercial payors including managed care companies.

For the period from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001, most of the
Company's subsidiaries were covered under commercial insurance policies with
PHICO, a Pennsylvania based insurance company. The policies provided for a
self-insured retention limit for professional and general liability claims for
the Company's subsidiaries up to $1 million per occurrence, with an average
annual aggregate for covered subsidiaries of $7 million through 2001. These
subsidiaries maintain excess coverage up to $100 million with other major
insurance carriers.

In February of 2002, PHICO was placed in liquidation by the Pennsylvania
Insurance Commissioner and as a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge to
earnings of $40 million during the fourth quarter of 2001 to reserve for
malpractice expenses that may result from PHICO's liquidation. PHICO continues
to have substantial liability to pay claims on behalf of the Company and
although those claims could become the Company's liability, the Company may be
entitled to receive reimbursement from state insurance guaranty funds and/or
PHICO's estate for a portion of certain claims ultimately paid by the Company.
The Company expects that the cash payments related to these claims will be made
over the next eight years as the cases are settled or adjudicated. In estimating
the $40 million pre-tax charge, the Company evaluated all known factors,
however, there can be no assurance that the Company's ultimate liability will
not be materially different than the estimated charge recorded. Additionally, if
the ultimate PHICO liability assumed by the Company is substantially greater
than the established reserve, there can be no assurance that the additional
amount required will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
results of operations.

Due to unfavorable pricing and availability trends in the professional and
general liability insurance markets, the cost of commercial professional and
general liability insurance coverage has risen significantly. As a result, the
Company expects its total insurance expense including professional and general
liability, property, auto and workers' compensation to increase approximately
$25 million in 2002 as compared to 2001. The Company's subsidiaries have also
assumed a greater portion of the hospital professional and general liability
risk for its facilities. Effective January 1, 2002, most of the Company's
subsidiaries are self-insured for malpractice exposure up to $25 million per
occurrence. The Company purchased an umbrella excess policy through a commercial
insurance carrier for coverage in excess of $25 million per occurrence with a
$75 million aggregate limitation.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------

Page 17 of 21 Pages
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted in
August, 1996 to assure health insurance portability, reduce healthcare fraud and
abuse, guarantee security and privacy of health information and enforce
standards for health information. Organizations are required to be in compliance
with certain HIPAA provisions beginning as early as October, 2002. Provisions
not yet finalized are required to be implemented two years after the effective
date of the regulation. Organizations are subject to significant fines and
penalties if found not to be compliant with the provisions outlined in the
regulations. Regulations related to HIPAA are expected to impact the Company and
others in the healthcare industry by:

(i) Establishing standardized code sets for financial and clinical electronic
data interchange ("EDI") transactions to enable more efficient flow of
information. Currently there is no common standard for the transfer of
information between the constituents in healthcare and therefore providers
have had to conform to each standard utilized by every party with which
they interact. The goal of HIPAA is to create one common national standard
for EDI and once the HIPAA regulation takes effect, payors will be
required to accept the national standard employed by providers. The final
regulations establishing electronic data transmission standards that all
healthcare providers must use when submitting or receiving certain
healthcare transactions electronically were published in August, 2000 and
compliance with these regulations is required by October, 2002, unless a
summary plan is submitted to CMS prior to that date requesting a one-year
extension to October, 2003. The Company is in the process of applying for
the one-year extension.

(ii) Mandating the adoption of security standards to preserve the
confidentiality of health information that identifies individuals.
Currently there is no recognized healthcare standard that includes all the
necessary components to protect the data integrity and confidentiality of
a patient's electronically maintained or transmitted personal health
record. The final regulations containing the privacy standards were
released in December, 2000 which require compliance by April, 2003.

(iii) Creating unique identifiers for the four constituents in healthcare:
payors, providers, patients and employers. HIPAA will mandate the need for
the unique identifiers for healthcare providers in an effort to ease the
administrative challenge of maintaining and transmitting clinical data
across disparate episodes of patient care.

The Company is in the process of implementation of the necessary changes
required pursuant to the terms of HIPAA. The Company expects that the
implementation cost of the HIPAA related modifications will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Net cash provided by operating activities was $61 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 and $69 million during the comparable prior year
quarter. The $8 million decrease during the 2002 first quarter as compared to
the 2001 first quarter was primarily attributable to: (i) a favorable $10
million change due to an increase in net income plus the addback of adjustments
to reconcile net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation &
amortization, minority interest in earnings of consolidated entities, accretion
of discount on convertible debentures and (gains)/losses on foreign exchange and
derivative transactions); (ii) a $24 million unfavorable change in accounts
receivable, and; (iii) $6 million of other net favorable working capital
changes.

The Company spent approximately $41 million during the first quarter of 2002 and
$31 million during the first quarter of 2001 to finance capital expenditures.
The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $225 million in
2002. Included in the 2002 projected capital expenditures will be the remaining
expenditures on the new George Washington University Hospital located in
Washington, D.C (scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2002), a major
renovation and modernization of Auburn Regional Medical Center located in
Auburn, Washington (scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter of
2002), the first phase of a new 176-bed acute care hospital located in Las
Vegas, Nevada

Page 18 of 21 Pages
(projected to be completed in late 2003), and a major new cardiology wing and
bed expansion of Northwest Texas Healthcare System located in Amarillo, Texas
(projected to be completed in late 2003).

As of March 31, 2002, the Company had $325 million of unused borrowing capacity
under the terms of its $400 million unsecured non-amortizing revolving credit
agreement, which expires on December 13, 2006. The agreement includes a $50
million sublimit for letters of credit of which $38 million was available at
March 31, 2002. The interest rate on borrowings is determined at the Company's
option at the prime rate, certificate of deposit rate plus .925% to 1.275%,
Euro-dollar plus .80% to 1.150% or a money market rate. A facility fee ranging
from .20% to .35% is required on the total commitment. The margins over the
certificate of deposit, the Euro-dollar rates and the facility fee are based
upon the Company's leverage ratio. At December 31, 2001, the applicable margins
over the certificate of deposit and the Euro-dollar rate were 1.125% and 1.00%,
respectively, and the commitment fee was .25%. There are no compensating balance
requirements.

As of March 31, 2002, the Company had no unused borrowing capacity under the
terms of its $100 million, annually renewable, commercial paper program. A large
portion of the Company's accounts receivable are pledged as collateral to secure
this program. This annually renewable program, which began in 1993, is scheduled
to expire or be renewed in October of each year. The commercial paper program
has been renewed for the period of October 24, 2001 through October 23, 2002.

The Company's total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 45% at
March 31, 2002 and 47% at December 31, 2001.

In April, 2001, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a
100% stock dividend which was paid on June 1, 2001 to shareholders of record as
of May 16, 2001. All references to share quantities and earnings per share for
all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split.

During 1998 and 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved stock purchase
programs authorizing the Company to purchase up to 12 million shares of its
outstanding Class B Common Stock on the open market at prevailing market prices
or in negotiated transactions off the market. Pursuant to the terms of these
programs, the Company purchased an additional 64,466 shares during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 at an average purchase price of $38.56 per share
($2.5 million in the aggregate). Since inception of the stock purchase program
in 1998 through March 31, 2002, the Company purchased a total of 7,868,281
shares at an average purchase price of $18.09 per share ($142.3 million in the
aggregate).

The Company expects to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions with
internally generated funds and borrowed funds. Additional funds may be obtained
either through refinancing the existing revolving credit agreement and/or the
commercial paper facility and/or the issuance of equity or long-term debt.
