NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------

(1) General

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, accounting
policies and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with current year financial presentation.

(2) 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 and a 20%
outside ownership in an acute care facility located in Washington D.C.

(3) Commitments and Contingencies

Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an aggregate
of $61 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% interest
in The George Washington University Hospital.

(4) Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", and its corresponding amendments under SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 133
requires the Company to measure every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record
them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. For derivatives
designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both the
derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in
the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income
("OCI"). The ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the
current period.

The adoption of this new standard as of January 1, 2001 resulted in an increase
of $3.3 million in other assets to recognize at fair value all derivatives that
are designated as fair-value hedging instruments and $3.3 million of long term
debt to recognize the difference between the carrying values and fair values of
related hedged liabilities. For the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2001, the Company recorded an increase of an additional $700,000 and $2.1
million, respectively, in other assets and long term debt to recognize the
increased value of the fair-value

Page 6 of 21
hedging instruments. There was no gain or loss recognized in earnings as a
result of a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge.

Upon the January 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company also recorded a
pre-tax cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $7.6 million
in other comprehensive income ($4.8 million after-tax), recorded during the
quarter ended March 31, 2001, to recognize at fair value all derivatives that
are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company expects to
reclassify into earnings during the next twelve months $1.6 million from the
transition adjustments that were recorded in accumulated OCI. To recognize the
change in value during the three and six month periods of June 30, 2001, the
Company recorded, in other comprehensive income, pre-tax income of $2.1 million
($1.4 million after-tax) during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and a pre-tax
charge of $3.1 million ($1.9 million after-tax) during the six month period
ended June 30, 2001. The gains or losses are reclassified into earnings as the
underlying hedged item affects earnings, such as when the forecast interest
payment occurs. It is expected that $743,000 of net losses in accumulated OCI
will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. The Company
also recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $100,000 during the six month
period ended June 30, 2001 (the majority of which was recorded during the
quarter ended March 31, 2001) to recognize the ineffective portion of the cash
flow hedging instruments. As of June 30, 2001, 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. There was no gain or
loss reclassified from accumulated OCI into earnings during the six month period
ended June 30 2001, as a result of the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due
to the probability of the original forecasted transaction not occurring.

The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing
basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair
values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative
is not highly effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly
effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.

The Company manages its ratio of fixed to floating rate debt with the objective
of achieving a mix that management believes is appropriate. To manage this mix
in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest
rate swap agreements, in which it agrees to exchange various combinations of
fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts. All
of the Company's cash flow hedges relate to the payment of variable interest on
existing debt.

Foreign Currency Risk:
In connection with the Company's first quarter of 2001 purchase of a 80%
ownership interest in an operating company that owns eight hospitals in France,
the Company extended an intercompany loan denominated in francs. Included in the
Company's financial results for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 was a
$1.3 million pre-tax loss ($800,000 after-tax), recorded during the quarter
ended March 31, 2001, resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations related to
this intercompany loan. In the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company entered
into certain forward exchange contracts to hedge the exposure associated with
foreign currency fluctuations on the intercompany loan. These contracts are not
designated as hedging instruments and changes in the fair value of these items
are recorded in earnings to offset the foreign exchange gains and losses of the
intercompany loan. The effect of the change in fair value of the contract for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 was a gain of $1.4 million and offset
a $1.4 million exchange loss on the intercompany loan.

(5) Segment Reporting

The Company's reportable operating segments consist of acute care services
(including the hospitals located in France in which the Company has an 80%
ownership interest), and behavioral

Page 7 of 21
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.
Also included are the operating results of the Company's other operating
entities including the outpatient surgery and radiation therapy centers and
specialized women's health center. The chief operating decision maker and the
lead executive for the Company's acute care services is the Company's President
and Chief Executive Officer and the chief operating decision making group for
the behavioral health care services is comprised of the Company's President and
Chief Executive Officer and the lead executive of the Company's behavioral
health services' segment. The lead executive for each operating segment also
manages the profitability of each respective segment's various hospitals. The
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.

(8) New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These statements make significant
changes to the accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and intangible
assets.

SFAS 141 establishes new standards for accounting and reporting requirements for
business combinations and requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the
pooling-of-interest method will be prohibited. This statement is effective for
business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.

SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and
other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets."
The provisions of this statement are required to be applied by the Company
beginning January 1, 2002. This statement is required to be applied to all
goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the Company's financial
statements at the date of adoption. Upon adoption, goodwill will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by
applying a fair-value-based test. Impairment losses that arise due to the
initial application of this statement will be reported as a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle. The Company has not yet quantified the impact
of adopting this statement on its financial statements.

(9) Subsequent Event

Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the Company received notice from its counter-party
that on August 15, 2001, they will exercise their option to terminate the
interest rate swap with a notional principal amount of $135 million and
scheduled termination date of August 15, 2005. This swap is a designated fair
value hedge to the Company's 8 3/4%, $135 million bonds. The termination is
expected to result in a net payment to the Company of approximately $3.5
million. Upon the termination of the fair value hedge, the Company will cease
adjusting the fair value value of the debt and the resulting difference between
the fair value at termination and the face value of the debt will be amortized
over the remaining life of the hedged debt using the effective interest method.
If the hedged debt is called prior to maturity, any remaining difference would
be recognized in current period earnings.

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

Net revenues increased 37% to $719 million for the three months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $525 million in the same prior year period and increased 31%
to $1.396 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1.066
billion during the comparable 2000 six month period. The $194 million increase
in net revenues during the 2001 second quarter as compared to the comparable
prior year quarter was due primarily to: (i) $110 million of net revenues
generated at twenty-seven acute care and behavioral health care facilities
acquired in the U.S. and France since the third quarter of 2000, and; (ii) $86
million or 17% increase in net revenues generated at acute care and behavioral
health care facilities owned during both periods. The $330 million increase in
net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the
comparable prior year six month period was due primarily to: (i) $195 million of
net revenues generated at twenty-seven acute care and behavioral health care
facilities acquired in the U.S. and France since the third quarter of 2000, and;
(ii) $137 million or 13% increase in net revenues generated at acute care and
behavioral health care facilities owned during both periods.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease and
rental expense (before deducting minority interests in earnings of consolidated
entities) ("EBITDAR") increased 27% to $111 million for the three month period
ended June 30, 2001 from $87 million in the comparable prior year quarter and
increased 24% to $224 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to $181 million during the comparable 2000 six month period.

Page 12 of 21
Overall operating margins were 15.4% in the 2001 second quarter as compared to
16.6% in the 2000 second quarter and 16.0% for the six month period ended June
30, 2001 as compared to 17.0% during the six month period ended June 30, 2000.
The factors causing the decrease in the overall operating margins, which
occurred primarily in the Company's acute care services' segment, are discussed
below.

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

Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals (including the eight
hospitals in France acquired during the first quarter of 2001), ambulatory
treatment centers and specialized women's health center accounted for 80% and
85% of consolidated net revenues for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively, and 80% and 86% for the six month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's acute care facilities
owned in both periods increased 18% during the three month period ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter and increased 14% during
the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the comparable prior
year six month period. These increases in same facility net revenues were due to
an increase in prices charged to private payors including health maintenance
organizations and preferred provider organizations, an increase in Medicare
reimbursements which commenced on April 1, 2001 and an increase in patient
volumes, as discussed below. 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
and is now operating under the same license as an integrated department of
McAllen Medical Center.

Admissions to the Company's acute care facilities owned in both quarters
increased 6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 over the comparable 2000
quarter and patient days at these facilities increased 8% for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. The
average length of stay at the acute care facilities owned during both periods
increased 2% to 4.8 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to 4.7 days in the comparable prior year quarter. Admissions to the
Company's acute care facilities owned in both six month periods increased 4%
during the six month period ended June 30, 2001 over the comparable 2000 period
and patient days at these facilities increased 5% for the six month ended June
30, 2001 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The average length of
stay at the acute care facilities owned during both six month periods remained
unchanged at 4.8 days. Despite the increase in patient volume at the Company's
facilities, 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 Company's facilities have experienced an increase in inpatient acuity and
intensity of services as less intensive services shift from an inpatient basis
to an outpatient basis due to technological and pharmaceutical improvements and
continued pressures by payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and managed care
companies to reduce admissions and lengths of stay. To accommodate the increased
utilization of outpatient services, the Company has expanded or redesigned
several of its outpatient facilities and services. Gross outpatient revenues at
the Company's acute care facilities owned during the three month periods ending
June 30, 2001 and 2000 increased 22% in the second quarter of 2001 as compared
to the comparable 2000 quarter and comprised 26% of the Company's acute care
gross patient revenue in the second quarter of 2001 as compared to 27% during
the 2000 comparable quarter. Gross outpatient revenues at

Page 13 of 21
these facilities increased 23% during the six month period ended June 30, 2001
as compared to the comparable prior year period and comprised 26% of the
Company's acute care gross patient revenue during the each of the six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

The increase in net revenue as discussed above 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 increased 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 facilities, operating expenses, (salaries, wages and
benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and provision for doubtful
accounts) as a percentage of net revenues were 82.5% and 81.5% for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 81.5% and 80.8% for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Operating margins
(EBITDAR) at these facilities were 17.5% and 18.5% during the quarters ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 18.5% and 19.2% during the six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. At the Company's acute care
facilities owned in both three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, operating expenses (salaries, wages and benefits, other operating
expenses, supplies expense and provision for doubtful accounts) as a percentage
of net revenues were 82.6% and 81.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively, and 81.4% and 80.8% for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Operating margins (EBITDAR) at these facilities
were 17.4% and 18.7% during the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and 18.6% and 19.2% during the six month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively.

Despite the strong revenue growth experienced at the Company's acute care
facilities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the comparable prior year periods, operating margins at these
facilities were lower in the 2001 periods as compared to the prior year periods
due to increases in salaries, wages and benefits, pharmaceutical expense, bad
debt expense and insurance expense. Salaries, wages and benefits increased
primarily as a result of rising labor rates, particularly in the area of skilled
nursing and the increase in pharmaceutical expense was caused primarily by
increased utilization of high-cost drugs. Bad debts were increased during the
quarter to reserve for receivables due from two insolvent HMOs that filed for
bankruptcy in Louisiana and Puerto Rico while the increase in insurance expense
was caused primarily by unfavorable industry-wide pricing trends for commercial
hospital professional and general liability coverage. The Company expects the
expense factors mentioned above to continue to pressure future operating
margins.

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

Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services facilities accounted
for 20% and 14% of consolidated net revenues during the three month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 20% and 14% for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net revenues at the
Company's behavioral health services facilities owned in both periods increased
10% during the three month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the
comparable prior year quarter. Admissions and patient days at these facilities
increased 6% and 4%, respectively, during the three month period ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. The average length of
stay at the behavioral health services facilities owned in both periods
decreased 2% to 11.9 days during the 2001 second quarter as compared to 12.1
days in the comparable prior year period.

Page 14 of 21
Net revenues at the Company's behavioral health services facilities owned in
both six month periods increased 9% during the six month period ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Admissions and patient
days at these facilities increased 6% and 5%, respectively, during the six month
period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The
average length of stay at the behavioral health services facilities owned in
both periods decreased 2% to 11.5 days during the 2001 six month period as
compared to 11.8 days in the comparable prior year period.

At the Company's behavioral health care facilities, operating expenses
(salaries, wages and benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and
provision for doubtful accounts) as a percentage of net revenues were 79.7% and
79.6% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
and 80.0% and 80.6% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Operating margins (EBITDAR) at these facilities were 20.3% and
20.4% during the three months periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and 20.0% and 19.4% during the six month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively. On a same facility basis, operating expenses
(salaries, wages and benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and
provision for doubtful accounts) as a percentage of net revenues were 78.3% and
79.6% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
and 79.0% and 80.6% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Operating margins (EBITDAR) at these facilities were 21.7% and
20.4% during the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 21.0%
and 19.4% during the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. 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 also
continues its increased focus on receivables management.

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

The Company recorded minority interest expense in the earnings of consolidated
entities amounting to $3.7 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $7.6 million and $6.5 million for the
six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The minority
interest expense recorded during both periods consists primarily of 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.

Interest expense increased $3.3 million to $10.5 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 and increased $4.4 million to $19.0 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the comparable prior year periods.
The increases during the 2001 periods as compared to the comparable prior year
periods were due primarily to increased borrowings used to finance the purchase
of twenty-seven acute care and behavioral health care facilities acquired in the
U.S. and France since the third quarter of 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.1 million to $32.2 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and increased $6.2 million to $62.0
million during the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the comparable
prior year periods. The increases during the 2001 periods as compared to the
comparable prior year periods were due primarily to increased expense incurred
in connection with the acquisitions mentioned above.

The effective tax rate was 36% for each of the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000.

Page 15 of 21
General Trends
- --------------

A significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived from fixed payment
services, including Medicare and Medicaid which accounted for 42% and 44% of the
Company's net patient revenues during the three month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively, and 41% and 44% of the Company's net patient
revenues during the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The Medicare program reimburses the Company's hospitals primarily
based on established rates by a diagnosis related group for acute care hospitals
and by cost based formula for behavioral health facilities. Historically, rates
paid under Medicare's prospective payment system ("PPS") for inpatient services
have increased, however, these increases have been less than cost increases.
Pursuant to the terms of BBA-97, there were no increases in the rates paid to
hospitals for inpatient care through September 30, 1998 and reimbursement for
bad debt expense and capital costs as well as other items were reduced.
Inpatient operating payment rates increased 0.5% for the period of October 1,
1998 through September 30, 1999, however, the modest rate of increase was less
than inflation and was more than offset by the negative impact of converting
reimbursement on skilled nursing facility patients from a cost based
reimbursement to a prospective payment system and from lower DRG payments on
certain patient transfers mandated by BBA-97. Inpatient operating payment rates
were increased 1.1% for the period of October 1, 1999 through September 30,
2000, however, the modest increase was less than inflation and was more than
offset by the negative impact of increasing the qualification threshold for
additional payments for treating costly inpatient cases (outliers). Payments for
Medicare outpatient services historically have been paid based on costs, subject
to certain adjustments and limits. BBA-97 requires that payment for those
services be converted to PPS, which was implemented on August 1, 2000. The
implementation of outpatient PPS has not had a material impact on the Company's
results of operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2000, Congress passed the Medicare, Medicaid and
SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 ("BIPA") which, among
other things, increased Medicare and Medicaid payments to health care 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 commenced in
April, 2001 and for the period of April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001, the
additional reimbursements will be remitted to hospitals at twice the scheduled
amounts. BBA-97 established the annual update for Medicare at market basket
minus 1.1% in both fiscal years 2001 (October 1, 2000 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. The Company estimates that the implementation of
BIPA will result in an increase in net revenues and pre-tax income of
approximately $5 million to $10 million during 2001.

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. Government action has
increased with respect to investigations and/or allegations concerning possible
violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by
healthcare providers. 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

Page 16 of 21
governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that the Company will not be
subjected to governmental inquiries or actions.

In Texas, a law has been passed which mandates that the state senate apply for a
waiver from current Medicaid regulations to allow the state to require that
certain Medicaid participants be serviced through managed care providers. The
Company is unable to predict whether Texas will be granted such a waiver or the
effect on the Company's business of such a waiver. 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.
Beginning in the third quarter of 1999, as a result of reductions stemming from
BBA-97 and program redesigns by the two states, the Company's Medicaid
disproportionate share reimbursements were reduced by approximately $11 million
annually, on a prospective basis. Beginning in the third quarter of 2000, the
Medicaid disproportionate share reimbursements were reduced by an additional
$2.5 million annually, on a prospective basis. Included in the Company's
financial results was an aggregate of $9.1 million (including a favorable $2.8
million prior period adjustment) and $7.7 million for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $15.5 million and $15.4 million
for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, (including
reimbursements received at an acute care hospital located in Texas acquired
during the third quarter of 2000). Failure to renew these programs, which are
scheduled to terminate in the third quarter of 2001, or further reductions in
reimbursements, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
results of operations.

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 34% of the Company's net patient revenues for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 37% and 33%
of the Company's net patient revenues for the six month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, 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 year, the
Company secured price increases from many of its commercial payors including
managed care companies.

Effective January 1, 1998 the Company's subsidiaries are covered under
commercial insurance policies which provide for a self-insured retention limit
for professional and general liability claims for most of its 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 major insurance carriers. The Company's
remaining facilities are fully insured under commercial policies with excess
coverage up to $100 million maintained with major insurance carriers. 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. Therefore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to purchase commercial policies at
reasonable premiums upon the December 31, 2001 expiration of current policies.
If the cost of obtaining commercial policies becomes cost prohibitive, the
Company may have to assume a greater portion of the hospital professional and
general liability risk or become fully self-insured for some or all of its
facilities.

Page 17 of 21
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the increased insurance expense
incurred in connection with either commercially or self-insured professional and
general liability policies will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's future results of operations.


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

Regulations related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
of 1996 ("HIPAA") are expected to impact the Company and others in the
healthcare industry by:

. 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 transmissions 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.

. 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 personal health record. The final
regulations containing the privacy standards were released in
December, 2000 which require compliance by February, 2003, however, it
is possible that the privacy regulations could be amended or their
implementation delayed.

. 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.

Non-compliance may result in fines, loss of accreditation and/or threat of civil
litigation. The Company has begun preliminary planning for implementation of the
necessary changes required pursuant to the terms of HIPAA. However, the Company
can not currently estimate the implementation cost of the HIPAA related
modifications and consequently can give no assurances that issues related to
HIPAA will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial condition or results of operations.


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

Net cash provided by operating activities was $160 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and $97 million during the comparable prior year period. The
$63 million increase during the 2001 six month period as compared to the
comparable prior year period was primarily attributable to: (i) a favorable $31
million change due to an increase in net income plus the addback of depreciation
and amortization expense, minority interest in earnings of consolidated
entities, accretion of discount on convertible debentures and losses on foreign
exchange and derivative transactions; (ii) a favorable $18 million change in
accounts receivable, and; (iii) $14 million of other net favorable working
capital changes.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company acquired the following facilities
for a total investment of approximately $192 million (including a $13 million
increase in working capital accounts at purchased facilities where working
capital was not included in the purchase transaction): (i) a 108-bed behavioral
health care facility located in San Juan Capestrano, Puerto Rico; (ii) a 96-bed
acute care facility located in Murrieta, California; (iii) two behavioral health
care facilities located in Boston, Massachusetts; (iv) a 60-bed specialty heart
hospital located in McAllen, Texas; (v) an outpatient surgery center located in
Reno, Nevada, and; (vi) the purchase of an 80% ownership interest in an
operating company that owns eight hospitals located in France. Also during the
six month period of June 30, 2001, the Company spent $69 million to finance
capital expenditures as compared to $46 million during the six month period of
2000.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $225 million of unused
borrowing capacity under the terms of its $400 million revolving credit
agreement which matures in July 2002 and provides for interest at the Company's
option at the prime rate, certificate of deposit plus 3/8% to 5/8%, Euro-dollar
plus 1/4% to 1/2% or money market. A facility fee ranging from 1/8% to 3/8% 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. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $25 million of 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 on October 30th of each
year. The Company's total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 46%
at June 30, 2001 and 43% at December 31, 2000. The increase during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 was due increased borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility to finance the acquisitions mentioned above.

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 classes of common stock participated on a pro rata basis.

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.
