Item 1.  Business

General

     Charter Medical Corporation (the "Company") is a behavioral healthcare
company.  As of September 30, 1994, the Company operated 98 acute care
psychiatric hospitals, three residential treatment centers and one physician
outpatient practice with an aggregate capacity of 8,908 licensed beds.
Additionally, 92 of the Company's hospitals operate partial hospitalization
programs, and the Company operates 150 outpatient centers, staffed by mental
health professionals.  Between September 30, 1994 and November 30, 1994, the
Company acquired 13 additional facilities.  In this report, the Company uses
the term "psychiatric hospitals" or "hospitals" to refer to the 98 facilities
licensed as acute care psychiatric hospitals, the three facilities licensed as
residential treatment centers and the physician outpatient practice.  A
residential treatment center offers less intensive and longer stay services
than do acute care psychiatric hospitals.

     The Company's business strategy is to develop and operate integrated
behavioral healthcare delivery systems in certain markets in which it
presently operates one or more hospitals and in selected other markets in
which the Company does not presently operate a hospital.  The integrated
delivery systems that the Company is developing offer a comprehensive range of
behavioral healthcare services including inpatient treatment, day and partial
hospitalization services, group and individual outpatient treatment, and
residential and other less intensive services.  The Company is establishing
such systems by using its hospitals as a base and by arranging for other
services through acquisitions, contracts or affiliations with physicians,
psychologists and other mental health professionals and, in some markets, with
general acute care hospitals and other institutional healthcare providers.
The Company is also developing information systems that will assist in the
integration of the financing and delivery of behavioral healthcare services.

Recent Developments

     Acquisition of Hospitals

     As of March 29, 1994 the Company entered into two agreements with
National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME") providing for the purchase by the
Company of substantially all of the assets of 36 psychiatric hospitals, eight
chemical-dependency treatment facilities, two residential treatment centers
and one physician outpatient practice, including related outpatient facilities
and other associated assets.  Under a consent order that has been
conditionally approved by the Federal Trade Commission, the Company has agreed
not to acquire six of such facilities; the Company and NME subsequently agreed
that the Company will not acquire one facility.  The remaining 40 facilities
(the "Acquired Hospitals") have, as of November 30, 1994, been acquired (the
"Acquisition") by subsidiaries of the Company.  The purchase price for the
Acquired Hospitals was approximately $120.4 million in cash plus an additional
cash amount of approximately $51 million, subject to adjustment, for the net
working capital of the Acquired Hospitals.  The Acquired Hospitals have an
aggregate capacity of 2,873 licensed beds and are located in 19 states.  For
their fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, the Acquired Hospitals had net revenue
of approximately $315.1 million.

                                      I-3
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     On June 30, 1994, the Company completed the purchase of 27 of the
Acquired Hospitals for a cash purchase price of approximately $129.6 million,
which included approximately $39.3 million, subject to adjustment, for the net
working capital of the facilities.  On October 31, 1994, the Company completed
the purchase of three additional Acquired Hospitals for a cash purchase price
of approximately $5 million, which included approximately $2.2 million related
to the net working capital of the facilities.  On November 30, 1994, the
Company completed the purchase of the remaining ten Acquired Hospitals for a
cash purchase price of approximately $36.8 million, including approximately
$9.5 million related to the net working capital of the ten Acquired
Hospitals.  The Company accounted for the Acquisition using the purchase
method of accounting.

     Debt Refinancing

     In order to finance the Acquisition and to refinance substantially all of
the Company's outstanding long-term debt, on May 2, 1994 the Company entered
into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with certain financial
institutions for a five-year reducing, revolving credit facility in an
aggregated committed amount of $300 million (the "Revolving Credit Agreement")
and issued $375 million of 11.25% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes which
mature on April 15, 2004 (the "Notes") and are general unsecured obligations
of the Company.  (See Note 6 of the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

Sale of General Hospitals

     On September 30, 1993, the Company sold its general hospitals and related
assets to Quorum, Inc., for approximately $338 million.  The Company retained
the assets and liabilities relating to these hospitals for professional
liability claims incurred and cost report settlements for periods prior to
September 30, 1993.

     For fiscal 1993, the general hospitals had net revenue of approximately
$347 million, a net loss of approximately $15 million, and admissions and
patient days of 39,669 and 205,843, respectively.  In 1993, the Company
restated its consolidated financial statements to reflect the sales of the
general hospitals and its interest in a non-hospital subsidiary as
discontinued operations.

Financial Restructuring

     In its 1992 fiscal year, the Company completed a restructuring of its
debt and equity capitalization (the "Restructuring") pursuant to a prepackaged
plan of reorganization filed under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code (the "Plan"), which became effective on July 21, 1992.  As a result of
the Restructuring, the Company's long-term debt was reduced by approximately
$700 million and its redeemable preferred stock of $233 million was
eliminated.  The holders of the debt and preferred stock that were reduced or
eliminated received approximately 97% of the Company's common stock
outstanding on July 21, 1992.

Psychiatric Hospital Operations

     The Company's psychiatric hospitals operated on September 30, 1994 are
located in well-populated urban and suburban locations in 31 states and two

foreign countries.  Thirteen of the Company's hospitals are affiliated with
medical schools for residency and other post-graduate teaching programs.

hospitals which are included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements:

</TABLE>

     Most of the Company's hospitals offer a full continuum of behavioral care
in their service area.  The continuum includes inpatient hospitalization,
partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient services and, in some markets,
residential treatment services.

     The Company's hospitals provide structured and intensive treatment
programs for mental health, and alcohol and drug dependency disorders in
children, adolescents and adults.  The specialization of programs enables the
clinical staff to provide care that is specific to the patient's needs and

                                      I-5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

facilitates monitoring the patient's progress.  A typical treatment program of
the Company integrates physicians and other patient-care professionals with
structured activities, providing patients with testing, adjunctive therapies
(occupational, recreational and other), group therapy, individual therapy and
educational programs.  A treatment program includes one or more of the types
of treatment settings provided by the Company's continuum of care.  For those
patients who do not have a personal psychiatrist or other specialist, the
hospital refers the patient to a member of its medical staff.

     A significant portion of hospital admissions are provided by physician
referrals, and professional relationships are an important aspect of the
Company's ongoing business.  Management believes that the quality of the
Company's treatment programs, staff employees and physical facilities are
important factors in maintaining good professional relationships.

     The Company's hospitals work closely with mental health professionals,
non-psychiatric physicians, emergency rooms and community agencies that come
in contact with individuals who may need treatment for mental illness or
substance abuse.  A portion of the Company's marketing efforts are directed at
increasing general awareness of mental health and addictive disease and the
services offered by the Company's hospitals.

     In addition to receiving hospital admissions from physicians, other
healthcare professionals and community agencies, the Company's hospitals also
seek to provide services to persons covered by managed care plans by offering
a continuum of care that is conducive to cost-effective care management and,
in certain cases, a capitated or other at-risk payment methods.

Seasonality

     The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with a reduced demand for
certain services generally occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter and around
major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Related Businesses

     As part of the Company's business strategy, the Company in fiscal 1993
and 1994, (i) acquired a company that develops information systems relating to
the financing and delivery of behavioral healthcare services; (ii) acquired a
company that provides outpatient treatment for schizophrenia patients; and
(iii) organized a subsidiary, Group Practice Affiliates, Inc., that acquires
or manages professional group practices.  Group Practice Affiliates, Inc. has
acquired one such practice and a related managed behavioral care company and
has entered into agreements or letters of intent to acquire two additional
practices.  To date, the activities of these subsidiaries have not been
material to the Company.

(3)  Licensed as an intensive residential treatment center.
(4)  A leased hospital facility or property.

</TABLE>

     All of the Company's hospitals located in the United States have been
accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations (the "Joint Commission").  The Joint Commission is a national
commission which establishes standards relating to the physical plant,
administration, quality of patient care, governing body and medical staffs of
hospitals.

     The Company operates 13 leased hospitals, including one 150-bed general
hospital, not listed above, which is managed by an unaffiliated third party.
The leased hospitals have terms expiring between 1996 and 2069.  The leases
for two hospitals contain options to purchase these hospitals for nominal
consideration at the end of their respective lease terms.

     Sixty-seven of the Company's hospitals listed above are subject to
mortgages.  The stock of substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of the
Company has been pledged as collateral for the Company's secured bank
financing.

     The Company owns 15 medical office buildings (with an aggregate of
approximately 187,000 square feet) and leases an additional six (with an
aggregate of approximately 19,000 square feet), all of which are located near
certain of the Company's hospitals.  These buildings have a total of
approximately 120 tenants.  Five of the Company's medical office buildings are
subject to mortgages.

     The Company leases office space for approximately 150 outpatient centers
located in 31 states.  The leases for these centers aggregate approximately
330,000 square feet of office space, and generally have lease terms of less
than five years.

Divestitures

     During fiscal 1994, the Company sold the following facilities which had
been closed during fiscal 1992 and fiscal 1993:

Denver, CO                 60-bed psychiatric hospital          October 1993
Laredo, TX                 64-bed psychiatric hospital          December 1993
West Palm Beach, FL        60-bed psychiatric hospital          August 1994

</TABLE>

     In addition, the Company leases, with options to purchase by the lessees,
two facilities which it previously operated prior to fiscal 1991.  The Company
is also attempting to sell or lease two other previously operated hospitals
and a related medical office building and certain unimproved real estate.

Competition

     Each of the Company's hospitals competes with other hospitals, some of
which are larger and have greater financial resources.  Some competing
hospitals are owned and operated by governmental agencies, others by nonprofit
organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and others
by proprietary hospital corporations.  The hospitals frequently draw patients
from areas outside their immediate locale and, therefore, the Company's
hospitals may, in certain markets, compete with both local and distant
hospitals.  In addition, the Company's hospitals compete not only with other
psychiatric hospitals, but also with psychiatric units in general hospitals,
and outpatient services provided by the Company may compete with private
practicing mental health professionals.  The competitive position of a
hospital is, to a significant degree, dependent upon the number and quality of
physicians who practice at the hospital and who are members of its medical
staff.

     In recent years, the competitive position of hospitals has been affected
by the ability of such hospitals to obtain contracts with Preferred Provider
Organizations ("PPO's"), Health Maintenance Organizations ("HMO's") and other
managed care programs to provide inpatient and other services.  Such contracts
normally involve a discount from the hospital's established charges, but
provide a base of patient referrals.  These contracts also frequently provide
for pre-admission certification and for concurrent length of stay reviews.
The importance of obtaining contracts with HMO's, PPO's and other managed care
companies varies from market-to-market, depending on the individual market
strength of the managed care companies.  The Company's strategy is intended,
in part, to increase the Company's revenues from managed care companies or
managed care employers by offering the continuum of care described above,
information systems that support care management and at-risk pricing
mechanisms.

     State certificate of need laws place limitations on the Company's and its
competitors' ability to build new hospitals and to expand existing hospitals.
Protection from new competition is reduced in those states where there is no
certificate of need law.  The Company operates 47 hospitals in 12 states
(Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada,
New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas and Utah) which do not have certificate of
need laws applicable to hospitals.  In most cases, these state laws do not


                                     I-10

<PAGE>

restrict the ability of the Company or its competitors to offer new outpatient
services.

Industry Trends

     The Company's hospitals have been adversely affected by factors
influencing the entire psychiatric hospital industry.  Factors which affect
the Company include (i) the imposition of more stringent length of stay and
admission criteria by payors; (ii) the failure of reimbursement rate increases
from certain payors that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis to
offset increases in the cost of providing services; (iii) an increase in the
percentage of its business that the Company derives from payors that reimburse
on a per diem or other discounted basis; (iv) a trend toward higher deductible
and co-insurance for individual patients; (v) a trend toward limiting employee
health benefits, such as reductions in annual and lifetime limits on mental
health coverage; and (vi) a trend toward agreements with payors where the
Company agrees to assume the risk for the provision of treatment to all
members of a particular group for a specified revenue amount.  In response to
these conditions, the Company has (i) strengthened controls to reduce cost
increases and capital expenditures, (ii) reviewed its portfolio of hospitals
and sold, closed or leased hospitals or consolidated operations in certain
locations and (iii) developed strategies to increase outpatient services and
partial hospitalization programs to meet the demands of the marketplace.

Healthcare Reform

     Between October 1993 and the early fall of 1994, President Clinton and
various U.S. Senators and Representatives introduced in Congress a number of
healthcare reform proposals.  The proposals ranged from the Clinton
Administration's comprehensive healthcare reform proposal that would have
restructured the financing and delivery of healthcare services through a
combination of managed competition and mandated employer coverage of employees
to less comprehensive proposals that would have required private health
insurance to be "portable" and eliminated coverage limitations for
pre-existing health conditions. The numerous proposals varied in their
proposed coverage of behavioral healthcare services and in their potential
effect on the Company. No proposal was adopted by either house of Congress.

     The Company anticipates that numerous healthcare reform proposals will be
introduced in the next session of Congress beginning in January 1995.
Particularly in light of the change in control of both houses of Congress as
the result of the November 1994 elections, the Company is unable to predict
whether any such proposal will be adopted or the effect on the Company of any
proposal that does become law.

     A number of states in which the Company has operations have either
adopted or are considering the adoption of healthcare reform proposals at the
state level. Various reform measures have been adopted in Florida, Minnesota
and Tennessee, among others.  These state reform laws have, in many cases, not
been fully implemented.  The Company cannot predict the effect of these state
healthcare reform laws on its operations.

Sources of Revenue

     Payments are made to the Company's hospitals by patients, by insurance
companies and self-insured employers, by the federal and state governments

                                     I-11

<PAGE>

under Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS and other programs and by HMO's, PPO's and
other managed care programs.  Amounts received under government programs, HMO,
PPO and other managed health care arrangements, certain self-insured employers
and certain Blue Cross plans are generally less than the hospital's
established charges.  The approximate percentages of gross patient revenue
(which is revenue before deducting contractual allowances and discounts from
established billing rates) derived by the Company's hospitals from various
payment sources for the last three fiscal years were as follows:

     Most private insurance carriers reimburse their policyholders or make
direct payments to the hospitals for charges at rates specified in their
policies.  The patient remains responsible to the hospital for any difference
between the insurance proceeds and the total charges.  Certain Blue Cross
programs have negotiated reimbursement rates with certain of the Company's
hospitals which are less than the hospital's charges.

     Most of the Company's hospitals have entered into contracts with HMO's,
PPO's, certain self-insured employers and other managed care plans which
provide for reimbursement at rates less than the hospital's normal charges.
In addition to contracts entered into by individual hospitals with such
managed care plans, the Company has entered into regional and national
contracts with HMO's, PPO's, self-insured employers and other managed care
plans that apply to all of the Company's hospitals in the geographic areas
covered by a contract.  The Company is seeking to obtain additional regional
and national contracts.  The Company expects its percentage of revenue from
these payor sources to increase in the future.

     Under the Medicare provisions of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility
Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"), costs per Medicare case are determined for each of the
Company's hospitals.  A target cost per case is established for each year (the
"Target Rate").  If a hospital's costs per case are less than the Target Rate,
the hospital receives a bonus of 50% of the difference between its actual
costs per case and the Target Rate (limited to 5% of the Target Rate).
Hospitals with costs which exceed the Target Rate are paid an additional
amount equal to 50% of the excess, up to 10% of the Target Rate.  These limits
apply only to operating costs and do not apply to capital costs, including
lease expense, depreciation and interest associated with capital
expenditures.  The Target Rate for each hospital is increased annually by the
application of an "update factor".

     Most of the Company's hospitals participate in state operated Medicaid
programs.  Federal law prohibits Medicaid funding for inpatient services in
freestanding psychiatric hospitals for patients between the ages of 21 and
64.  Each state is responsible for establishing the Medicaid eligibility and
coverage criteria, payment methodology and funding mechanisms which apply in
that state, subject to federal guidelines.  Accordingly, the level of Medicaid
payments received by the Company's hospitals varies from state to state.  In
addition to the basic payment level for patient care, several state programs
include a financial benefit for hospitals which treat a disproportionately
large volume of Medicaid patients as a percentage of the total patient
population.  These "disproportionate share" benefits are subject to annual
review and revision by the related state governments and could be
substantially reduced or eliminated at any point in the future.  The Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA 93") prohibits disproportionate share
payments to hospitals which have a Medicaid utilization rate of less than 1%
effective for state fiscal years ending in 1994.  For state fiscal years
beginning on or after January 1, 1995, the amount of disproportionate share
payments each hospital can receive will be limited through the use of formulas
based generally on the cost of providing services to Medicaid and uninsured
patients.  The Company received approximately $13 million, $15 million and $11
million in Medicaid disproportionate share payments in fiscal 1992, 1993 and
1994, respectively.

     Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs,
there are substantial areas subject to administrative rulings and
interpretations which may affect payments made under either or both of such
programs.  In addition, federal or state governments could reduce the future
funds available under such programs or adopt additional restrictions on
admissions and more stringent requirements for utilization of services.  These
types of measures could adversely affect the Company's operations.  Final
determination of amounts payable under Medicare and certain Medicaid programs
are subject to review and audit.  The Company's management believes that
adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that might result from
such reviews or audits.

     Most of the Company's hospitals receive revenues from the CHAMPUS
program.  Under CHAMPUS, psychiatric hospitals are classified into two groups,
each with different payment methods.  The first group, classified as high
volume CHAMPUS hospitals, are those hospitals with 25 or more CHAMPUS
discharges during a federal fiscal year.  The Company has 54 hospitals
included within this group.  These hospitals receive a per diem payment,
subject to a limitation of $732 per day.  The remainder of the Company's
psychiatric hospitals are classified as low volume CHAMPUS hospitals and
receive a per diem based on a wage-adjusted regional rate.

     CHAMPUS patients are subject to annual limits on the number of
psychiatric days covered by CHAMPUS.  Covered inpatient services are generally
limited to 30 days for adult acute patients, 45 days for child and adolescent
acute patients, and 150 days for residential treatment center patients.

     The Company's Medicare revenue has been and may in the future be reduced
under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as
amended by The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 and OBRA 93 (the "Budget
Acts").  These laws remain in effect through fiscal year 1998, and require
that federal spending automatically be reduced in amounts determined by
calculations set out in the Budget Acts, if certain requirements relating to

                                     I-13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

the amount of the federal deficit are not met.  Under the Budget Acts,
Medicare expenditures for a fiscal year can be reduced by no more than 4%.
Medicaid funding is exempt from reductions under the Budget Acts.  There were
no reductions in fiscal 1992, 1993 or 1994.  Payment reductions under the
Budget Acts, if implemented in future years, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's net revenue.  However, because the actual amount of
the reduction for any fiscal year may vary according to the federal deficit,
the financial impact of the Budget Acts on the Company cannot be predicted.

Regulation and Other Factors

     Operations of psychiatric hospitals are subject to substantial federal,
state and local government regulation.  Such regulations provide for periodic
inspections or other reviews by state agencies, the United States Department
of Health and Human Services (the "Department") and CHAMPUS to determine
compliance with their respective standards of medical care, staffing,
equipment and cleanliness necessary for continued licensing or participation
in the Medicare, Medicaid or CHAMPUS programs.  The admission and treatment of
patients at the Company's hospitals are also subject to substantial state
regulation relating to involuntary admissions, confidentiality and patients'
rights and to federal regulation relating to confidentiality of medical
records of substance abuse patients.

     The obtaining of approvals for construction of new hospitals and for
renovation of and additions to existing hospitals is subject to various
governmental requirements, such as approval of sites and findings of community
need for additional hospital facilities and services.  In addition, in certain
states, as a practical matter, it is necessary to pledge to provide various
amounts of uncompensated care to indigent persons in order to obtain a
certificate of need.  Except for Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas and Utah,
the states in which the Company presently operates hospitals have adopted
certificate of need or similar statutes.

     Federal law contains numerous provisions designed to insure that services
rendered by hospitals to Medicare and Medicaid patients are medically
necessary and are of a quality which meets professionally recognized standards
and to insure that claims for reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid
programs are properly filed.  Among other things, services provided at the
Company's hospitals are subject to periodic review by Peer Review
Organizations ("PRO's").  All hospitals which participate in the Medicare
program are subject to review by PRO's.  PRO activities include reviews of
certain admissions and services to determine medical necessity and to
determine whether quality of care meets professionally recognized standards.
PRO's have the authority to recommend to the Department that a provider who is
in substantial noncompliance with the medical necessity and quality of care
standards of a PRO or who has grossly and flagrantly violated an obligation to
render quality care be excluded from participation in the Medicare program or
be required to reimburse the federal government for certain payments
previously made to the provider under the Medicare program.

     The Company's hospitals have been subject to and have complied with
various forms of utilization review since 1970.  The Company has implemented a
quality assurance program in each of its hospitals, which includes procedures
for utilization review and retrospective patient care evaluation.

                                     I-14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     The Medicare and Medicaid Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987
expanded the authority of the Department to exclude from participation in the
Medicare and Medicaid programs those hospitals which engage in defined
prohibited activities.  The Department is required under this Act to exclude
from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs any individual or
entity that has been convicted of a criminal offense relating to the delivery
of services under Medicare and Medicaid or to the neglect or abuse of
patients.  In addition, the Department has authority to exclude from
participation in the Medicare program individuals or hospitals under certain
other circumstances.  These include engaging in illegal remuneration
arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers, license
revocation, exclusion from some other government programs (such as CHAMPUS),
filing claims for excess charges or for unnecessary services, failure to
comply with conditions of participation and failure to disclose certain
required information or to grant proper access to hospital books and records.

     The Department has authority to impose civil monetary penalties against
any participant in the Medicare program which makes claims for payment for
services which were not rendered or were rendered by a person or entity not
properly licensed under state law.  The Department also has authority to
impose a penalty of not more than $2,000 for each improperly claimed service
and an assessment equal to not more than twice the amount claimed for each
service not rendered.

     Federal law makes it a felony, subject to certain exceptions, for a
hospital to make false statements relating to claims for payments under the
Medicare program, to engage in illegal remuneration arrangements with
physicians and other healthcare providers, to make false statements relating
to compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation, or to make false
claims for Medicare or Medicaid payments.  A number of states have adopted
laws that also make illegal under state law certain remuneration and referral
arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers.

     In order to provide guidance to healthcare providers with respect to the
statute that makes certain remuneration arrangements between hospitals and
physicians and other healthcare providers illegal, the Department has issued
regulations outlining certain "safe harbor" practices, which, although
potentially capable of inducing prohibited referrals of business, would not be
subject to enforcement action under the illegal remuneration statute.  The
practices covered by the regulations include, among others, certain investment
transactions, lease of space and equipment, personal services and management
contracts, sales of physician practices, payments to employees and waivers of
beneficiary deductibles and co-payments.  Additional proposed safe harbors
were published in 1993 by the Department.  Certain transactions and agreements
of the Company do not satisfy all the applicable criteria contained in the
final and proposed safe harbor regulations that relate to such transactions
and agreements.  However, the Company believes that such leases and contracts
do not violate the statute that makes certain remuneration arrangements
illegal.  There can be no assurance that (i) government enforcement agencies
will not assert that certain of these arrangements are in violation of the
illegal remuneration statute or (ii) the statute will ultimately be
interpreted by the courts in a manner consistent with the Company's practices.

     CHAMPUS regulations authorize CHAMPUS to exclude from the CHAMPUS program
any provider who has committed fraud or engaged in abusive practices.  The
regulations permit CHAMPUS to make its own determination of abusive practices
without reliance on any actions of the Department.  The term "abusive

                                     I-15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

practices" is defined broadly to include, among other things, the provision of
medically unnecessary services, the provision of care of inferior quality, and
the failure to maintain adequate medical or financial records.

     A number of states have adopted hospital rate review legislation, which
generally provides for state regulation of rates charged for various hospital
services.  Such laws are in effect in the state of Florida in which the
Company operates eight hospitals.  In Florida, the Health Care Board approves
a budget for each hospital, which establishes a permitted level of revenues
per discharge.  If this level of permitted revenues per discharge is exceeded
by a hospital in a particular year by more than a specified amount, certain
penalties, including cash penalties, can be imposed.

     The Company's subsidiary that owns or manages professional group
practices is subject to the federal and state illegal remuneration statutes
described above.  In addition, in some states, practice of medicine and
certain other health professions' laws prohibit the subsidiary from owning,
but not from managing, professional practices.

Medical Staffs and Employees

     At September 30, 1994, approximately 1,600 licensed physicians were
active members of the medical staffs of the Company's hospitals.  Many of
these physicians also serve on the medical staffs of other hospitals.  A
number of these physicians serve in administrative capacities in the Company's
hospitals.  Most of these physicians are independent contractors who have
private practices in addition to their duties for the Company, while certain
of these physicians are employees of the Company.  The medical and
professional affairs of each hospital are supervised by the medical staff of
the hospital, under the control of its board of trustees.  The Company
recruits physicians to serve in administrative capacities at its hospitals and
to engage in private practice in communities where the Company's hospitals are
located.  The Company's agreements with recruited physicians generally provide
for, among other things, allowances for reimbursement of relocation and office
start-up expenses and a guarantee of a specified level of physician income
during the recruited physician's first year of practice.

     Registered nurses and certain other hospital employees are required to be
licensed under the professional licensing laws of most states.  The Company's
hospital subsidiaries require such employees to maintain such professional
licenses as a condition of employment.

     At September 30, 1994, the Company had approximately 9,500 full-time and
4,000 part-time employees.  The Company's hospitals have had generally
satisfactory labor relations.

Liability Insurance

     Effective June 1, 1994, Plymouth Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Plymouth"), a
wholly-owned Bermuda subsidiary of the Company, provides $25 million per
occurrence general and hospital professional liability insurance for the
Company's hospitals.  The insurance coverage does not contain a per occurrence
deductible.  Between 90% and 100% of the risk of losses from $1.5 million to
$25 million per occurrence has been reinsured with unaffiliated insurers; and
the percentage so insured varies by layer.  The Company also insures with an
unaffiliated insurer 100% of the risk of losses between $25 million and $100
million per occurrence.  The Company's general and professional liability
coverage is written on a "claims made or circumstances reported" basis.


                                     I-16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     For the five years from June 1, 1989, through May 31, 1994, the Company
had a similar general and hospital professional liability insurance program.
For those years, the per occurrence deductible (with respect to which the
Company was self-insured) was $2.5 million for the years ended May 31, 1990
and 1991, $2 million for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993 and $1.5
million (relating to the Company's general hospitals sold on September 30,
1993) for the year ended May 31, 1994.  For psychiatric hospitals, Plymouth's
coverage did not contain a per occurrence deductible for the year ended
May 31, 1994.

International Operations

     The Company owns and operates two psychiatric hospitals in London,
England (a 45-bed hospital and a 78-bed hospital) and a 69-bed psychiatric
hospital in Nyon, Switzerland.  In July 1991, the Company began managing three
psychiatric-substance abuse hospitals in Jeddah, Riyadh and Damman in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (with 180 beds each) pursuant to a fixed-price
contract for a period of approximately three years.  This contract was not
renewed during fiscal 1994.  These activities do not represent a significant
portion of the Company's operations.

     The Company's international operations also include the Bermuda insurance
company that provides the coverages described under "Liability Insurance."

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

     The following table sets forth selected historical financial information
of the Company for each of the five years in the period ended September 30,
1994.  The information is not comparable because of the consummation of the
Company's Restructuring and the implementation of fresh start accounting in
fiscal 1992, which included the revaluation of the Company's assets and
liabilities and resulted in, among other things, significant reductions in
long-term debt and interest expense and elimination of preferred stock and
preferred stock dividend requirements.  In 1993, the Company restated its
consolidated financial statements to reflect the sale of certain subsidiaries
as discontinued operations.  The Summary of Operations and Balance Sheet Data
for the five years ended September 30, 1994, presented below, have been
derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.  The
following financial information should be read in conjunction with "Item 7.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Overview

     For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Company
derived approximately 9%, 11% and 14%, respectively, of its gross patient
revenue from HMO's and PPO's; 56%, 45% and 38%, respectively, from other
private payor sources (primarily Blue Cross and commercial insurance); 18%,
23% and 27%, respectively, from Medicare; 11%, 15% and 16%, respectively, from
Medicaid; and 6%, 6% and 5%, respectively, from CHAMPUS. The Company does not
expect its current payor mix to be altered significantly as a result of the
acquisition of 40 behavioral healthcare systems (the "Acquired Hospitals")
from National Medical Enterprises, Inc.  Changes in the mix of the Company's
patients among the private-pay, Medicare and Medicaid categories, and among
different types of private-pay sources, can significantly affect the
profitability of the Company's operations.  The psychiatric hospital industry
has been adversely affected by the trends described under "Item 1. Business -
Industry Trends."

     The Company continues to experience admission increases at its hospitals,
but as a result of the reductions in average length of stay, aggregate patient
days have decreased except for an increase in the fourth quarter due to the
effect of 27 Acquired Hospitals purchased on June 30, 1994. Also an increasing
percentage of the Company's revenue is coming from Medicare, Medicaid and
HMO's and PPO's and less from traditional commercial insurance.

     Because of the industry factors referred to previously and the impact of
the 27 facilities purchased on June 30, 1994, the Company's operating margins
declined to 19.1% in fiscal year 1994 from 21.1% for the prior year. Operating
income (net revenue less salaries, general and administrative expenses and bad
debt expenses) was $172.5 million for fiscal 1994, compared with $189.8
million in fiscal 1993.  The Company may continue to experience reduced

                                     II-3
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

margins when compared to prior periods. The Company intends to increase its
outpatient services and to enter new markets, in addition to those the Company
entered as a result of the purchase of the Acquired Hospitals, in response to
this trend.  The Company continues to broaden the scope of healthcare services
it provides by offering alternatives to traditional inpatient treatment
settings, such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and
residential treatment programs.

     The Company's ability to increase the rates it charges to offset
increased costs is limited because the Company derives a significant portion
of its revenues from patients covered by governmental and managed-care
programs. With respect to governmental programs, the amount the Company is
paid for its services is established by law and regulation.  With respect to
managed-care programs, the amount is established by the managed-care
contracts. Although inflation has not been a significant factor in the
Company's results of operations in recent years, a resurgence of inflation
could adversely affect the Company's results of operations because of such
limitations on the Company's ability to increase its rates. It is unlikely
that federal and state governments will increase reimbursement rates under
their programs in amounts sufficient to offset future price increases that
result from general inflationary pressures.

     The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with a reduced demand for
certain services generally occurring in the fourth quarter and around major
holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

     Management believes that the purchase of the Acquired Hospitals will
assist the Company in implementing its strategy by increasing the Company's
size, market position and geographical coverage. For example, the acquisition
permits the Company to enter 16 new markets, including markets in the
mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States.  Management believes the
operating results of the Acquired Hospitals will provide sufficient cash flow
for debt service and capital expenditures related to those facilities. The
aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Hospitals was approximately $120.4
million in cash plus approximately $51 million for the related net working
capital.  Of this amount, $106.3 million was obtained from the net proceeds of
the Notes issued in May 1994, $39.1 million was borrowed pursuant to the
Revolving Credit Agreement and approximately $26 million of cash on hand was
used.  Pro forma results of operations for fiscal 1994 which include the 40
Acquired Hospitals are included in Note 2 of the Company Consolidated
Financial Statements.

     As of September 30, 1990, the Company operated 91 psychiatric hospitals
and 12 general hospitals with an aggregate capacity of 9,798 licensed beds.
During fiscal years 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Company sold nine
psychiatric hospitals for a total of $46.1 million, leased two psychiatric
hospitals, with options to purchase by the lessees, and closed four
psychiatric hospitals. Of these 15 hospitals, 11 were included in the
divestiture plan and written down to net realizable value and their estimated
carrying costs accrued as part of the restructuring charges recorded in fiscal
1990 and 1991; therefore, these eleven facilities had no impact on the
Company's results of operations in subsequent periods. The four hospitals not
in the divestiture plan did not have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations. Of the four psychiatric hospitals that were closed, one
of the closed hospitals was leased, and the lease was terminated, one facility

                                     II-4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

is being marketed for sublease and two facilities are now being used for
residential treatment programs by existing Company facilities. During fiscal
year 1992, the Company closed one general hospital, and on September 30, 1993,
it sold ten general hospitals. As a result of these transactions, the
combining into one facility of two psychiatric hospitals formerly licensed
separately and the acquisition of 27 Acquired Hospitals on June 30, 1994, the
Company operated 101 psychiatric hospitals as of September 30, 1994. The
Company leases one general hospital, which is managed by an unrelated third
party. The lease and management agreement expire in 1997.

     The ten general hospitals were sold on September 30, 1993, for
approximately $338.0 million.  The Company retained the assets and liabilities
for professional liability claims incurred and cost report settlements for
periods prior to September 30, 1993. The results of operations of the general
hospitals sold on September 30, 1993 have been reported as discontinued
operations in the Company's financial statements.  For fiscal 1993, the
general hospitals had net revenue of approximately $347 million and a net loss
of approximately $15 million. The sale of the general hospitals enabled the
Company to concentrate its efforts on behavioral healthcare systems and to
reduce its long-term debt by approximately $310.3 million.

     During fiscal 1992, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief
pursuant to chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The prepackaged plan of
reorganization (the "Plan") effected a restructuring of the Company's debt and
equity capitalization (the "Restructuring").  The Restructuring, which became
effective on July 21, 1992, resulted in a reduction of approximately $700
million principal amount of long-term debt and the elimination of redeemable
preferred stock having an aggregate liquidation preference of $233 million.
The Company accounted for the Restructuring by using the principles of fresh
start accounting.  Accordingly, the Company's total assets were recorded at
their assumed reorganization value, with the reorganization value allocated to
identified tangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value at
July 31, 1992. The excess of the reorganization value over the value of
identifiable assets is reported as "reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets."

Results of Operations

     Effect of the Plan and Fresh Start Accounting

     As a result of the consummation of the Plan and the implementation of
fresh start accounting, the results of operations of the Company after
consummation of the Plan are not comparable to results of operations for prior
periods.  Additionally, under fresh start accounting, the statement of
operations for fiscal 1992 is separated into two statements: one for the
period prior to consummation of the Plan (July 31, 1992 for accounting
purposes) and for the period subsequent to consummation.

     Depreciation and amortization expense was reduced due to the write-down
of depreciable property and equipment and the write-off of deferred charges
and goodwill which occurred upon consummation of the Plan and the
implementation of fresh start accounting.  This reduction is offset by
additional depreciation expense related to the Acquisition.  In addition, the
excess of reorganization value over the value of identifiable assets, recorded
in connection with fresh start accounting, is being amortized over a
three-year period.

                                     II-5

     The Company also recognized certain nonrecurring items in fiscal 1992
related to the Plan and fresh start accounting.  The Company recognized a net
credit of approximately $83 million representing the adjustment of accounts to
fair value resulting from the implementation of fresh start accounting.  The
gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $731 million includes the
forgiven principal and interest reduced by the value of Common Stock issued to
the holders of certain debt securities outstanding prior to consummation of
the Plan.

     Discontinued Operations

     The results of operations of the general hospitals sold on September 30,
1993 have been reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial
statements.  Included in these amounts are net interest expenses related to
debt specifically identifiable as debt of the general hospitals.

     On September 15, 1993, the Company sold its interest in Beech Street of
California, Inc. ("Beech Street").  Beech Street operates preferred provider
networks and provides utilization review services to third parties.
Immediately prior to the sale, the Company owned 71.1% of the voting stock and
19.8% of the equity ownership of Beech Street.  The operations of Beech Street
were consolidated with the Company and have been reported as discontinued
operations in the Company's financial statements.  For fiscal 1993, Beech
Street had revenues of approximately $26 million and net income of
approximately $700,000.

     The Company recognized after-tax gains from the sale of the general
hospitals and Beech Street of approximately $10.7 million during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1993.

     Psychiatric Hospital Results

     The Company's consolidated financial statements include results of
operations for the 27 Acquired Hospitals purchased on June 30, 1994 for the
three months ended September 30, 1994.  The comparability of the Company's
psychiatric hospital net revenue, operating expenses and bad debt expense was
not affected by the consummation of the Plan or the sale of the general
hospitals.

     The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, changes in
selected operating indicators.

</TABLE>

     Fiscal 1993 Compared to Fiscal 1994.  Patient days at the Company's
hospitals increased 24,531 or 2%, to 1,383,388 in fiscal 1994 from 1,358,857
in fiscal 1993.  The increase resulted from the Acquired Hospitals, which
provided 92,994 patient days.  Patient days at the same store hospitals
decreased 68,463, or 5%, due to a 17% decrease in the average length of stay
from 15.7 days in fiscal 1993 to 13.4 days in fiscal 1994 for the same store
hospitals.  Total admissions increased 19%, or 16,735, from 86,067 in fiscal
1993 to 102,802 in fiscal 1994.  Of that increase, 5,794 admissions were
provided by the Acquired Hospitals.

     The Company's net revenue increased $6,739,000, or 1%, from $897,907,000
in fiscal 1993 to $904,646,000 in fiscal 1994.  Net revenue at the Company's
non-psychiatric operations increased $9,648,000, including $3,444,000 at the
Company's general hospital which is managed by a third party and $1,874,000
provided by companies acquired or developed in the Company's expansion of
services pursuant to its business strategy.  Net revenue decreased $9,642,000
due to the disposal of hospitals which were considered core hospitals during

                                     II-7

portions of fiscal 1993.  Net revenue at the Company's same store hospitals
decreased $45,356,000 from $843,842,000 in fiscal 1993 to $798,486,000 in
fiscal 1994.  The Company derived net revenue in fiscal 1994 of $52,089,000
from the Acquired Hospitals.  Net revenue per equivalent patient day decreased
3% to $557 in fiscal 1994 from $576 in fiscal 1993.  The decreases resulted
primarily from a continued shift in payor mix toward Medicare and Medicaid
programs.  Services to Medicare and Medicaid patients have increased due to
increased recognition and treatment of the behavioral illnesses of the elderly
and disabled and, in some states, improved coverage of behavioral services in
psychiatric hospitals for Medicaid beneficiaries.  The Company believes that,
at the same time, revenue from Blue Cross and commercial insurance payors has
declined because of a shift by purchasers of health coverage to HMOs and PPOs.

     Following is a discussion of changes in operating expenses for fiscal
1993 compared to fiscal 1994.

     The Company's salaries, general and administrative expenses increased
$20,669,000, or 3%, to $661,516,000 in fiscal 1994 from $640,847,000 in fiscal
1993, due to expenses incurred by the Acquired Hospitals of $40,173,000.  The
same store psychiatric hospitals and other operations of the Company decreased
their salaries, general and administrative expenses primarily by reducing
advertising expenses, purchased services, salaries and benefits and medical
professional fees.

     The Company's bad debt expenses increased to $70,623,000 in fiscal 1994
from $67,300,000 in fiscal 1993, an increase of $3,323,000, or 5%.  The
Acquisition resulted in additional bad debt expense of $3,727,000 during
fiscal 1994.  Bad debt expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to
7.8% for fiscal 1994 from 7.5% for fiscal 1993.  The Company anticipates
future increases in bad debt expenses due to increased deductibles and
co-insurance and reduced annual and lifetime psychiatric maximum payment
limits for individual patients, which will result in the Company not
collecting full charges on an increasing number of patients.

     Depreciation and amortization increased $1,972,000, or 7% to $28,354,000
in fiscal 1994.  The increase resulted primarily from depreciation of the
Acquired Hospitals, $1,133,000, and the amortization of the related covenant
not to compete and goodwill purchased during fiscal 1994.

     Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable
assets (the "Excess Reorganization Value") is being amortized over the
three-year period ending July 1995.  During fiscal 1993, Excess Reorganization
Value was reduced by approximately $21 million to reflect the recognition of
tax benefits related to pre-Reorganization tax loss carryforwards and
accordingly, amortization expense for the Excess Reorganization Value
decreased $11,478,000, or 27%, to $31,200,000 in fiscal 1994 from $42,678,000
in fiscal 1993.

     Net interest expense for fiscal 1994 decreased 47% from the previous
fiscal year due to the debt reductions resulting from the sale of the general
hospitals on September 30, 1993, mandatory and voluntary prepayments and
scheduled payments in fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1994.  Interest expense during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 increased over the first three quarters due
to the issuance of the Notes and to borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement used in the Acquisition.

                                     II-9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     Interest expense was significantly reduced by the consummation of the
Plan and as a result of the payments on debt made with proceeds from the sale
of the general hospitals.  Interest expense for fiscal 1995 will increase due
to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the issuance of the
Notes in connection with the Acquisition.

     ESOP expense for fiscal 1994 increased $3,323,000, or 7%, to $49,197,000
from $45,874,000 for fiscal 1993.  These increases resulted primarily from
changes in eligibility requirements, which increased the number of employees
who participate in the ESOP.

     Stock option expense for fiscal 1994 decreased from the previous year due
to a one-time charge during the second quarter of fiscal 1993 of $21.3 million
related to the vesting of certain options held by a former employee and
director.  Under the terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan (on March 4, 1993),
upon the satisfaction of certain financial targets and the termination of
employment, all of the employee's options vested immediately and the option
prices were reduced to $.25 per share.  Prior to March 4, 1993, such options
were accounted for as a variable stock option plan because the option price
was not determinable at the date of grant.  Subsequent to March 4, 1993, the
options were accounted for as a fixed plan because both the number of shares
to be issued and the option price were known.  Accordingly, on March 4, 1993,
the Company recognized $21.3 million of stock option expense.  On December 3
and December 29, 1993, all of the options under the 1992 Stock Option Plan
were exercised by the former employee.  On December 3, 1993, 326,000 options
were exercised and the option exercise price was paid by reducing the number
of shares issuable by the number of shares having a fair market value equal to
the option exercise price (3,326 shares).  An exercise in this manner triggers
a new measurement date for the options exercised and, since the stock price
had increased since March 4, 1993, additional compensation expense of $3.9
million was recognized in December 1993.  The option exercise price for the
1,894,336 options exercised on December 29, 1993, was paid in cash;
accordingly, no additional compensation expense was triggered.  For both of
the exercises, the former employee elected to surrender optioned shares
(approximately 570,000 shares) as consideration for the payment of required
withholding taxes of approximately $14.2 million.  These withholdings
represent the minimum required tax withholding amounts required in order to
avoid triggering a new measurement date and additional compensation expense.
The Company was required to make withholding tax payments on behalf of the
former employee of approximately $14.2 million which was charged against
additional paid-in capital.  This charge was offset by a tax benefit recorded
of approximately $9.4 million related to additional stock option expense
allowable for income tax purposes.  The remaining decrease in stock option
expense for fiscal 1994 was due to fluctuations in the market price of the
Company's common stock.

     During fiscal 1994 the Company recorded unusual items of approximately
$71.3 million.  Included in the unusual charges was the resolution in November
1994 between the Company and a group of insurance carriers of disputes that
arose in the fourth quarter related to claims paid predominantly in the
1980's.  As part of the resolution, the Company will pay the insurance
carriers approximately $31 million plus interest, for a total of $37.5 million
in four installments over a three year period.  The Company and the insurance
carriers will continue to do business at the same or similar general levels.
Furthermore, the parties will seek additional business opportunities that will
serve to enhance their present relationships.

     As a result of the Acquisition, the Company reassessed its business
strategy in certain markets.  The Company plans to consolidate services in
selected markets and close or sell certain facilities owned prior to the
Acquisition.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $23 million in the
fourth quarter of 1994 to write down the assets of those facilities to their
net realizable value.  Also recorded as an unusual charge during fiscal 1994
were expenses related to the relocation of the Company's executive offices.

     As of September 30, 1994, the Company had estimated tax net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $247 million available to reduce
future federal taxable income. These NOL carryforwards expire in 2006 through
2009 and are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Due to
the ownership change which occurred as a result of the Reorganization, the
Company's utilization of NOLs generated prior to the consummation of the
Reorganization is significantly limited. The Internal Revenue Service is
currently examining the Company's income tax returns for fiscal 1989 through
1993. Adjustments arising from such examination could reduce or eliminate the
NOL carryforwards. In Management's opinion adequate provisions have been made
for any adjustments which may result from such examinations.

     During fiscal 1994 the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of
approximately $12.6 million (net of income tax benefit of approximately $8.4
million) related to the defeasance of the Company's 7.5% Senior Subordinated
Debentures due 2003 and the pay-off of certain subsidiary mortgages.  The
extraordinary loss includes the difference between the redemption price and
the carrying value of the debentures and prepayment penalties related to the
subsidiary mortgages.

     Fiscal 1992 Compared to Fiscal 1993. The Company had 1,358,857 patient
days in fiscal 1993, a decrease of 37,104, or 3%, from 1,395,961 in fiscal
1992. The decrease in patient days occurred despite an increase of 6,939, or
9%, in admissions from 79,128 in fiscal 1992 to 86,067 in fiscal 1993. The
decline in average length of stay from 17.8 days to 15.7 days was caused by
stringent criteria regarding inpatient treatment by payors and changes in
program mix.

     The Company's net revenue decreased $22,798,000, or 2%, from $920,705,000
in fiscal 1992 to $897,907,000 in fiscal 1993. Of this decline, $14,325,000
resulted from the disposal of hospitals in fiscal 1992, and $814,000 was
related to non-psychiatric operations. Net revenue at the "same store" core
hospitals in operation at September 30, 1993 decreased to $843,842,000 in
fiscal 1993 as compared to $851,501,000 for fiscal 1992, a decrease of
$7,659,000, or 1%. Net revenue per equivalent patient day also decreased 1% in
fiscal 1993 from $579 in fiscal 1992 to $576 in fiscal 1993. The decreases
were primarily the result of an increase in the percentage of business the
Company derived from Medicare and Medicaid patients during fiscal 1993.
Services to Medicare and Medicaid patients have increased due to increased
recognition and treatment of the behavioral illnesses of the elderly and
disabled and, in some states, improved coverage of behavioral services in
psychiatric hospitals for Medicaid beneficiaries.  The Company believes that,
at the same time, revenue from Blue Cross and commercial insurance payors has
declined because of a shift by purchasers of health coverage to HMOs and
PPOs.  Net revenue in 1993 includes approximately $8 million over the prior
year from the normal settlement of reimbursement issues. In fiscal 1993, gross
outpatient revenue increased 53% to $100,376,000 from $65,686,000 in fiscal
1992.

     Following is a discussion of changes in operating expenses for fiscal
1992 compared to fiscal 1993.

     The Company's salaries, general and administrative expenses declined from
$671,208,000 in fiscal 1992 to $640,847,000 in fiscal 1993, a decrease of
$30,361,000, or approximately 5%. The decrease in fiscal 1993 resulted
primarily from reductions in salaries and benefits and purchased services and
the sale of two facilities during the year. The reductions in salaries and
benefits and purchased services were the result of the Company's continued
focus on controlling its variable costs including a decrease in the number of
employees and reduced fees for professional services.

     The Company's bad debt expense increased $2,093,000, or 3%, from
$65,207,000 in fiscal 1992 to $67,300,000 in fiscal 1993. Bad debt expenses as
a percentage of net revenue were 7.5% for fiscal 1993.

     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12,375,000, or 32%, in
fiscal 1993 from $38,757,000 in fiscal 1992 to $26,382,000 in fiscal 1993 due
to the writedown of depreciable property and equipment and the write-off of
deferred charges which occurred upon consummation of the Restructuring and the
implementation of fresh start accounting.

     Net interest expense decreased $107,778,000, or 59%, in fiscal 1993 to
$74,156,000 as compared to $181,934,000 in fiscal 1992 due to the reduction of
debt upon consummation of the Reorganization and the significant debt
reductions which occurred since consummation of the Restructuring.

     ESOP expense for fiscal 1993 increased $7,349,000, or 19% to $45,874,000
as compared to $38,525,000 for fiscal 1992 due primarily to increased
contributions to the ESOP, which were required as a result of larger debt
service requirements in fiscal 1993. Also, the ESOP plan was amended to permit
broader participation in the plan which increased the number of employees
eligible to receive an ESOP contribution in calendar 1993.

     Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the Company implemented the 1992
Stock Option Plan. A former employee and director of the Company was granted
options under the 1992 Stock Option Plan to purchase approximately 2.2 million
shares at exercise prices of either $4.36 per share or $9.60 per share. On
March 4, 1993, all of the options issued to the former employee and director
vested and the option prices were reduced to $.25 per share, which resulted in
the Company recognizing approximately $21.3 million in additional stock option
expense during the second quarter of fiscal 1993. The remaining expenses
related to the 1992 Stock Option Plan were due to increases in the market
price of the underlying Common Stock and the impact of additional shares
vesting in fiscal 1993.

     The Company's tax provision in fiscal 1993 resulted primarily from the
fact that the amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets is not deductible for tax purposes.

     The consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
September 30, 1993 include extraordinary after-tax losses of $8,561,000 on
early extinguishment of debt which includes fees incurred upon the retirement
of the Company's Senior Secured Notes, certain debt under the credit
agreement, mortgages on the general hospitals and the write-off of the
unamortized discount or premium remaining on certain debt.

affect operations.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

     Operational Activities.  Management believes that the Company will have
adequate cash flow from operations to fund its operations, capital
expenditures and debt service obligations over the next year. The Company had
working capital deficiencies at September 30, 1992 and 1993 due primarily to
the retention of liabilities for cost report settlements for the general
hospitals sold on September 30, 1993, and $19.5 million and $13.9 million of
long-term debt classified as current at September 30, 1992 and 1993,
respectively, resulting from mandatory payments made in October 1992 and 1993.

     Although the Acquired Hospitals have historically provided a negative
cash flow (approximately $4.3 million for the year ended May 31, 1994), the
Company believes that improved operating management along with reductions in
overhead and intercompany allocations will allow the Acquired Hospitals to
provide adequate cash flow to fund their operations.

     The number of days of net patient revenue in net patient accounts
receivable was 65 days at September 30, 1994 and 61 days at September 30, 1993.

     Investing Activities.  During fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1994, the Company
incurred approximately $11 million and $15 million, respectively, in capital
expenditures, primarily for routine capital replacement. During fiscal 1994,
the Company also incurred expenditures of approximately $127 million in
connection with the Acquisition and approximately $3 million for the
acquisitions of businesses related to the implementation of the Company's new
growth and expansion strategy. The capital outlays were financed from
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, proceeds from the issuance of
the Notes and from cash provided by operations.

     Future cash flows provided by investing activities will be reduced by the
amount of cash previously provided by the discontinued operations which was
approximately $42.5 million in fiscal year 1993. However, the sale of the
general hospitals allowed the Company to reduce its debt and save
approximately $32.3 million in annual interest expense. The Company believes
the sale of the general hospitals will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position, results of operation or liquidity of the Company.

     Financing Activities.  On May 2, 1994, the Company entered into the
Revolving Credit Agreement and issued the 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes
(the "Notes"). The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with
borrowings pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, were used to refinance
the indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Company's previous credit
agreement, to retire the 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures, to refinance
certain existing mortgage indebtedness of certain of the subsidiaries of the
Company and to finance the Acquisition and to pay related transaction
expenses.  Commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement will automatically
be reduced by $24.5 million on March 31, 1996, $49.1 million each on March 31,
1997 and 1998 and $175 million on March 31, 1999.  The Company believes that
its hospitals, including the Acquired Hospitals, will generate sufficient cash
flows from operations to meet its debt service requirements.  The Notes mature

                                     II-13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

on April 15, 2004.  Interest on the Notes is payable each April 15 and
October 15, commencing on October 15, 1994.

     The Company obtained increased operational and financial flexibility as a
result of entering into the Revolving Credit Agreement and issuing the Notes
because the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement and the
indenture for the Notes are less restrictive than those formerly in effect.
However, the Revolving Credit Agreement and the indenture for the Notes
contain a number of restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit
the ability of the Company to incur other indebtedness, engage in transactions
with affiliates, incur liens, make certain restricted payments, and enter into
certain business combination and asset sale transactions. The Revolving Credit
Agreement also limits the Company's ability to incur capital expenditures and
requires the Company to maintain certain specified financial ratios. A failure
by the Company to maintain such financial ratios or to comply with the
restrictions contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the indenture for
the Notes or other agreements relating to the Company's debt could cause such
indebtedness (and by reason of cross-acceleration provisions, other
indebtedness) to become immediately due and payable.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Charter Medical Corporation:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Charter
Medical Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of
September 30, 1993 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the ten months
ended July 31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the years
ended September 30, 1993 and 1994.  These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Charter Medical
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1993 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the ten months ended July
31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the years ended
September 30, 1993 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     As discussed in Notes 1 and 3, the Company's reorganization plan was
confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on July 8, 1992 and became effective on
July 21, 1992 (effective on July 31, 1992 for financial reporting purposes).
In accordance with Statement of Position No. 90-7 of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," the Company was required to account
for the reorganization using fresh start reporting.  Accordingly, all
consolidated financial statements prior to July 31, 1992 are not comparable to
the consolidated financial statements for periods after the implementation of
fresh start reporting.

     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedules listed in the index to
financial statements are presented for purposes of complying with the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
financial statements.  These schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              September 30, 1994


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     On June 2, 1992, the Company filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The prepackaged plan of reorganization
(the "Plan") effected a restructuring of the Company's debt and equity
capitalization (the "Restructuring").  The Company's Plan was confirmed on
July 8, 1992, and became effective on July 21, 1992 (effective on July 31,
1992 for financial reporting purposes).  The consolidated financial statements
as of and for the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the years ended
September 30, 1993 and 1994 are presented for the Company after the
consummation of the Plan.  These statements were prepared under the principles
of fresh start accounting and are not comparable to the statements of prior
periods.  Accordingly, a line has been used to separate the financial
statements of the Company after the consummation of the Plan from those of the
Company prior to the consummation of the Plan.

Property and Equipment

     As a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting, property and
equipment were adjusted to their estimated fair value as of July 31, 1992 and
historical accumulated depreciation was eliminated.  Expenditures for renewals
and improvements are charged to the property accounts; however, replacements,
maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the
respective assets are expensed currently.  The Company removes the cost and
related accumulated depreciation from the accounts for property sold or
retired, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations.
Amortization of capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis.  Upon implementation of
fresh start accounting, the average of the remaining useful lives of buildings
and improvements was approximately 22 years.  The general range of estimated
useful lives is three to ten years for equipment.

Excess Reorganization Value

     Excess Reorganization Value is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over three years.  Amortization expense for the two months ended September 30,
1992 and the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1994 was $7.2 million, $42.7
million and $31.2 million, respectively.  The unamortized Excess
Reorganization Value of $58.6 million attributable to the general hospitals
sold on September 30, 1993, reduced the gain from the disposal of such
hospitals.  Excess Reorganization Value was reduced by approximately $21
million during fiscal 1993 to reflect the recognition of tax benefits related
to pre-Plan tax loss carryforwards.  (See Note 8.)

Foreign Currency

     Changes in the cumulative translation of foreign currency assets and
liabilities are presented as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, which were not
material, are included in operations as incurred.

Net Revenue

     Net revenue is based on established billing rates, less estimated
allowances for patients covered by Medicare and other contractual
reimbursement programs and discounts from established billing rates.  Amounts
received by the Company for treatment of patients covered by Medicare and
other contractual reimbursement programs, which may be based on cost of
services provided or predetermined rates, are generally less than the
established billing rates of the Company's hospitals.  Final determination of
amounts earned under contractual reimbursement programs is subject to review
and audit by the appropriate agencies.  Management believes that adequate
provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from such reviews.

Charity Care

     The Company provides care without charge or at amounts less than its
established rates to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care
policies.  Because the Company does not pursue collection of amounts
determined to be charity care, they are not reported as revenue.  For the ten
months ended July 31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the
years ended September 30, 1993 and 1994 the Company provided, at its
established billing rates, approximately $30 million, $5.8 million, $33.1
million and $29.3 million, respectively, of such care.

Interest, Net

     The Company records interest expense net of capitalized interest and
interest income.  Interest income for the ten months ended July 31, 1992, the
two months ended September 30, 1992 and the years ended September 30, 1993 and
1994 was approximately $6.7 million, $.8 million, $3.6 million and $4.4
million, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid interest-bearing
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, consisting
primarily of money market instruments.

Assets Restricted for the Settlement of Unpaid Claims

     Assets restricted for the settlement of unpaid claims include marketable
securities which are carried at fair market value.  Transfer of such
investments from the insurance subsidiaries to the Company or any of its other
subsidiaries is subject to meeting certain criteria under the Revolving Credit
Agreement and approval by certain regulatory authorities.

     During fiscal 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities ("SFAS 115").  Under SFAS 115, investments are classified into

                                      F-9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

three categories: i) held to maturity; ii) available for sale; and iii)
trading.  Unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded for trading and
available for sale securities.  The Company's investments are classified as
available for sale and the adoption of SFAS 115 did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements, financial condition and liquidity or
results of operations.

Net Loss Per Common Share

     Net loss per common share for periods subsequent to the Restructuring was
computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding during the period.  Common stock equivalents were not dilutive and
therefore were not included in the calculation.

2.   Significant Transactions

     Acquisitions

     As of March 29, 1994 the Company entered into two agreements with
National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME") providing for the purchase by the
Company of substantially all of the assets of 36 psychiatric hospitals, eight
chemical-dependency treatment facilities, two residential treatment centers
and one physician outpatient practice, including related outpatient facilities
and other associated assets.  Under a consent order that has been
conditionally approved by the Federal Trade Commission, the Company has agreed
not to acquire six of such facilities; the Company and NME subsequently agreed
that the Company will not acquire one facility.  The remaining 40 facilities
(the "Acquired Hospitals") have, as of November 30, 1994, been acquired (the
"Acquisition") by subsidiaries of the Company.  The purchase price for the
Acquired Hospitals was approximately $120.4 million in cash plus an additional
cash amount of approximately $51 million, subject to adjustment, for the net
working capital of the Acquired Hospitals.

     On June 30, 1994, the Company completed the purchase of 27 of the
Acquired Hospitals for a cash purchase price of approximately $129.6 million,
which included approximately $39.3 million, subject to adjustment, for the net
working capital of the facilities.  On October 31, 1994 the Company completed
the purchase of three additional Acquired Hospitals for a cash purchase price
of approximately $5 million which included approximately $2.2 million related
to the net working capital of the facilities.  On November 30, 1994, the
Company completed the purchase of the remaining ten Acquired Hospitals for a
cash purchase price of approximtely $36.8 million, including approximately
$9.5 million related to the net working capital of ten Acquired Hospitals.
The Company accounted for the Acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting.

     The Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
September 30, 1994 includes results of operations of 27 of the Acquired
Hospitals for the three months ended September 30, 1994.  Because all of the
Acquired Hospitals have been purchased as of November 30, 1994, the purchases
have been considered one transaction for pro forma disclosure.  Below are
unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended September 30,
1993 and 1994 as though the Acquired Hospitals had been purchased on
October 1, 1992 and 1993, respectively.  The pro forma information does not
purport to be indicative of the results which would actually have been

     Discontinued Operations

     On September 30, 1993, the Company sold its general hospitals and the
related assets for approximately $338 million.  The Company retained the
assets and liabilities relating to these subsidiaries for professional
liability claims incurred and cost report settlements for periods prior to
September 30, 1993.  On September 15, 1993, the Company sold its interest in
Beech Street of California, Inc. ("Beech Street") (see Note 12).  Beech Street
operates preferred provider networks and provides utilization review services
to third parties.  Immediately prior to the sale, the Company owned 71.1% of
the voting stock and 19.8% of the equity ownership of Beech Street.
Summarized results of the discontinued operations were as follows (in
thousands):

     The net assets, results of operations and the gains on the sales of the
general hospitals and Beech Street have been reported in the accompanying
financial statements as discontinued operations.  Therefore, the financial
statements for all prior periods presented have been restated to segregate
these amounts from continuing operations.

3.   The Restructuring and Fresh Start Reporting

     The consummation of the Plan discussed above in Note 1 resulted in, among
other things, (i) a reduction of approximately $700 million in long-term debt,
(ii) elimination of $233 million of preferred stock and (iii) the issuance of
approximately 24.8 million shares of Common Stock to certain holders of debt
securities, the preferred stockholders and common stockholders.

     As a result of the consummation of the Plan, the financing under the $880
Million Credit Agreement between the Company and certain banks dated
September 1, 1988, was replaced by new facilities under the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated July 21, 1992, among the Company and certain
banks (the "Credit Agreement").

     Upon consummation of the Plan, the Company recognized an extraordinary
gain on debt discharge of approximately $731 million which represented
forgiveness of debt, principal and interest, reduced by the estimated fair
value of common stock issued to certain debtholders of the Company.  The
Company's long-term debt was stated at the present value of amounts to be
paid, based on market interest rates on July 31, 1992.  This adjustment to
present value resulted in an aggregate carrying amount for the Company's
long-term debt which was less than the aggregate principal amount thereof, and
resulted in the amortization of the difference into interest expense over the
terms of the debt instruments and, upon extinguishment of the debt prior to
scheduled maturity, resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment.

     Under the principles of fresh start accounting, the Company's total
assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization value, with the
reorganization value allocated to identifiable tangible assets on the basis of
their estimated fair value.  Accordingly, the Company's property and equipment
was reduced and its intangible assets were written off.  In addition, the
Company's accumulated deficit, common stock in treasury and cumulative foreign
currency adjustments were eliminated.  The excess of the reorganization value
over the value of identifiable assets is reported as "reorganization value in
excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets" (the "Excess
Reorganization Value").

     The total reorganization value assigned to the Company's assets was
estimated by calculating projected cash flows before debt service
requirements, for a five-year period, plus an estimated terminal value of the
Company (calculated using a multiple of approximately six (6) on projected
EBDIT (which is net revenue less operating and bad debt expenses)), each
discounted back to its present value using a discount rate of 12%
(representing the estimated after-tax weighted cost of capital).  This amount
was approximately $1.2 billion and was increased by (i) the estimated net
realizable value of assets to be sold and (ii) estimated cash in excess of
normal operating requirements.  The above calculations resulted in an
estimated reorganization value of approximately $1.3 billion, of which the
Excess Reorganization Value was $225 million, of which $129 million related to
continuing operations.  The Excess Reorganization Value is being amortized
over three years.

                                     F-12

4.   Unusual Items

     During fiscal 1994 the Company recorded a charge for unusual items of
approximately $71.3 million.  Included in the unusual charges is the
resolution in November 1994 between the Company and a group of insurance
carriers of disputes that arose in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 related
to claims paid predominantly in the 1980's.  As part of the resolution, the
Company will pay the insurance carriers approximately $31 million plus
interest, for a total of $37.5 million in four installments over a three year
period.  The Company and the insurance carriers will continue to do business
at the same or similar general levels.  Furthermore, the parties will seek
additional business opportunities that will serve to enhance their present
relationships.

     As a result of the Acquisition, the Company reassessed its business
strategy in certain markets.  The Company plans to consolidate services in
selected markets and close or sell certain facilities owned prior to the
Acquisition.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $23 million in the
fourth quarter of 1994 to write down the assets of those facilities to their
net realizable value.  Also recorded as an unusual charge during fiscal 1994
were expenses related to the relocation of the Company's executive offices.

5.   Benefit Plans

     The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), a
noncontributory retirement plan that enables eligible employees to participate
in the ownership of the Company.  The ESOP borrowed approximately $455 million
from the Company to acquire its ownership interest.  At September 30, 1994,
the ESOP owed the Company approximately $65.6 million.

     The Company has recorded unearned compensation to reflect the cost of
Common Stock purchased by the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants'
accounts.  In the period that shares are allocated, or projected to be
allocated, to participants, ESOP expense is recorded and unearned compensation
is reduced.  Interest expense on the remaining portion of the debt incurred to
finance the ESOP transaction amounted to $2,472,000, $10,380,000 and
$6,197,000 for the two months ended September 30, 1992, fiscal 1993 and 1994,
respectively, and $16,169,000 for the ten months ended July 31, 1992 and is
included in interest expense in the statements of operations.

     The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the ESOP qualifies under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Such
determination allows the Company to deduct its contributions to the ESOP for
federal income tax purposes.

     During fiscal 1992, the Company reinstated a defined contribution plan
(the "401-K Plan").  Effective January 1, 1992, employee participants could
elect to voluntarily contribute up to 5% of their compensation to the 401-K
Plan.  Effective October 1, 1992, the Company began making contributions to
the 401-K Plan based on employee compensation and contributions.  The Company
makes a discretionary contribution of 2% of each employee's compensation and
matches 50% of each employee's contribution up to 3% of their compensation.
During the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1994, the Company made
contributions of $2,539,000 and $4,870,000, respectively, to the 401-K Plan.

$2,519,000; and 1999 -- $74,866,000.

     The Company's debt is carried at cost which approximates fair market
value.

     Revolving Credit Agreement

     On May 2, 1994 the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions for a five-year reducing,
revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $300 million
(the "Revolving Credit Agreement").  Proceeds from the Revolving Credit
Agreement were used (i) to refinance certain mortgage indebtedness of certain
subsidiaries of the Company in the principal amount of approximately $14.7
million and the loans to certain subsidiaries of the Company outstanding under
the Credit Agreement in the principal amount of approximately $46.8 million,
(ii) for continued credit enhancement of certain currently outstanding
variable rate demand notes issued by or for the benefit of certain
subsidiaries of the Company and (iii) for working capital and other general
corporate purposes, including to finance, in part, the Acquisition and to
finance other permitted acquisitions and investments.

     The amounts available under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be
reduced by the amounts and on the dates indicated below:

                         Amount                 Date

                     $ 24,537,446           March 31, 1996
                       49,074,892           March 31, 1997
                       49,074,892           March 31, 1998
                      175,000,000           March 31, 1999

     In addition to the scheduled reductions above, the Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to 70% (or if a default or
an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain asset sales,
(ii) by an amount equal to 25% (or if a default or an event of default exists,
100%) of the net proceeds of certain issuances or sales of the Company's
capital stock or other equity interests, except that no such reduction shall
be required if the Company meets specified financial ratios and no default or
event of default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) by an amount equal
to the principal amount of permitted subordinated indebtedness subject to a
required repurchase or repurchase offer by the Company as a result of any
asset sale.  All such reductions described in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iii) shall be applied first on a pro rata basis to all scheduled
reductions of the Revolving Credit Agreement other than the last scheduled
reduction of the Revolving Credit Agreement, and thereafter to the last
scheduled reduction.

     The loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest
(subject to certain potential adjustments) at a rate per annum equal to (a)
the sum of the Base Lending Rate plus 3/4 of 1%, or (b) at the option of the

     Senior Subordinated Notes

     Also on May 2, 1994, the Company issued $375 million of 11.25% Senior
Subordinated Notes which mature on April 15, 2004 (the "Notes") and are
general unsecured obligations of the Company.  Interest on the Notes is
payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on
October 15, 1994.  The Notes were originally issued as unregistered securities
and later exchanged for securities which were registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Due to a delay in the registration of the notes to
be exchanged, the Company was required to increase the interest rate on the
Notes by 50 basis points per annum for the period September 1, 1994 through
October 21, 1994, the date of issuance of the notes to be exchanged.  Proceeds
of $181.8 million from the sale of the Notes were used to defease, and,
subsequently on June 9, 1994, to redeem the Company's outstanding 7.5% Senior
Subordinated Debentures due 2003 (the "Debentures").  Certain remaining
proceeds were used, along with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Agreement,
to finance the Acquisition.  The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior
subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company's existing subsidiaries
and certain subsidiaries created after the issuance of the Notes.

     The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to
April 15, 1999.  Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the
option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning April 15 of the years

                2002 and thereafter......     100.000%

     Covenants

     The Revolving Credit Agreement and the indenture for the Notes contain a
number of restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the ability
of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur other indebtedness,
engage in transactions with affiliates, incur liens, make certain restricted
payments, and enter into certain business combination and asset sale
transactions.  The Revolving Credit Agreement also limits the Company's
ability to incur capital expenditures and requires the Company to maintain
certain specified financial ratios.

     Extraordinary Losses

     The consolidated statements of operations for the years ended
September 30, 1993 and 1994 include extraordinary after-tax losses of
$8,561,000 and $12,616,000, respectively, resulting from the early
extinguishment of debt.  The loss during fiscal 1993 includes fees incurred
upon the retirement of the Senior Secured Notes, certain debt under the credit
agreement and mortgages on the general hospitals and the write-off of the
unamortized discount or premium remaining on certain debt.  The extraordinary
loss in fiscal 1994 was related to the defeasance of the Debentures and the
pay-off of certain subsidiary mortgages and includes the difference between
the redemption price and the carrying value of the Debentures and prepayment
penalties related to the subsidiary mortgages.

     Leases

     The Company leases certain hospital facilities, some of which may be
purchased during the term or at expiration of the leases.  The book value of
capital leased assets was approximately $9.0 million at September 30, 1994.
The leases, which expire through 2069, generally require the Company to pay
all maintenance, property tax and insurance costs.

     At September 30, 1994, aggregate amounts of future minimum payments under
operating leases were as follows:  1995 - $6.4 million; 1996 - $4.6 million;
1997 - $2.1 million; 1998 - $1.3 million; 1999 - $.9 million; subsequent to
1999 - $39.8 million.

     Operations for the ten months ended July 31, 1992 included rental expense
on operating leases of $10.4 million.  Operations for the two months ended
September 30, 1992, and the years ended September 1993 and 1994 included
rental expenses on operating leases of $1.9 million, $11.3 million and $11.4
million, respectively.

7.   Stockholders' Equity

     Pursuant to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
Company is authorized to issue 80 million shares of common stock, $.25 par
value per share, and 10 million shares of preferred stock, without par value.
Under the terms of the Plan, approximately 24,828,000 shares of common stock
were issued to certain holders of debt securities, the preferred stockholders,
and common stockholders.  No shares of preferred stock have been issued as of
September 30, 1994.

     Common Stock

     The Company is prohibited from paying dividends (other than dividends
payable in shares of common stock) on its common stock under the terms of the
Revolving Credit Agreement except under certain limited circumstances.

     1992 Stock Option Plan

     The 1992 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of 3,437,939 options
to purchase common stock.  A summary of changes in options outstanding and
other related information is as follows:

</TABLE>

     The exercise price of certain options will be reduced if a change in
control of the Company occurs prior to July 1995 or, in the case of
termination of employment of certain optionees without cause, if certain
financial targets included in the 1992 Stock Option Plan are achieved.

     Options issued pursuant to the 1992 Stock Option Plan are exercisable
upon vesting and expire through October 2000.  As of September 30, 1994, 70.3%
of the options outstanding were vested.  The remaining options vest over the
next fiscal year if the Company achieves certain financial targets.  If a
change in control of the Company occurs, all options vest immediately prior to
such event, and upon termination of employment of certain optionees without

                                     F-17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

cause, all options granted to such optionees vest immediately, provided
certain financial targets have been met.

     Upon the termination of the employment of the Company's former Chairman
of the Board on March 4, 1993, and under the provisions of the 1992 Stock
Option Plan, all of the former employee's options vested and the option prices
were reduced to $.25 per share.  Such options totalled 2,220,336 at
September 30, 1993.  As a result, the Company recognized approximately $21.3
million in additional stock option expense during the second quarter of fiscal
1993.  On December 3 and December 29, 1993, all of the options under the 1992
Stock Option Plan were exercised by the former employee.  On December 3, 1993,
326,000 options were exercised and the option exercise price was paid by
reducing the number of shares issueable by the number of shares having a fair
market value equal to the option exercise price (3,326 shares).  An exercise
in this manner triggers a new measurement date for the options exercised and,
since the stock price had increased since March 4, 1993, additional
compensation expense of $3.9 million was recognized in December 1993.  The
option exercise price for the 1,894,336 options exercised on December 29,
1993, was paid in cash; accordingly, no additional compensation expense was
triggered.  For both of the exercises, the former employee elected to
surrender optioned shares (approximately 570,000 shares) as consideration for
the payment of required withholding taxes of approximately $14.2 million.
These withholdings represent the minimum required tax withholding amounts
required in order to avoid triggering a new measurement date and additional
compensation expense.  The Company was required to make withholding tax
payments on behalf of the former employee of approximately $14.2 million which
was charged against additional paid-in capital.  This charge was offset by a
tax benefit recorded of approximately $9.4 million related to additional stock
option expense allowable for income tax purposes.

     1994 Stock Option Plan

     During 1994 the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan covering 1.3
million shares of common stock.  Options must be granted on or before
December 31, 1996.  Officers and key employees of the Company are eligible to
participate.  The options have an exercise price which approximates fair
market value of the common stock at the date of grant.  A summary of changes
in options outstanding and other related information is as follows:

                                                      Year ended

Option prices..................                   $22.687 - $28.312


     Options granted under the 1994 Stock Option Plan are exercisable to the
extent vested.  An option vests at the rate of 33-1/3% of the shares covered
by the option on each of the first three anniversary dates of the grant of the
option if the optionee is an employee of the Company on such dates.  Options
must be exercised no later than ten years after the date of grant.

     1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     During 1994 the Company also adopted the 1994 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan ("ESPP") covering 600,000 shares of common stock that can be purchased by
eligible employees of the Company.

     The ESPP consists of three offerings of a maximum of 300,000 shares each,
except that the maximum number of shares offered in the third offering period
may not exceed the then remaining number of shares available under the ESPP.
The first offering period began on April 1, 1994 and will end on March 31,
1995.  On the first date of each offering period, a participant will be
granted an option to purchase a certain number of shares of common stock
(85,115 aggregate options granted for the first offering period).  The
purchase price for the first offering period is $21.144 per share.

     Directors' Stock Option Plan and Directors' Unit Award Plan

     The Directors' Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to
non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors to purchase up to
175,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to adjustments to
reflect certain changes in capitalization.  The options have an exercise price
which approximates the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant.  During fiscal 1993, 100,000 options were granted at an exercise price
of $14.56 per share.  During fiscal 1994, 25,000 of these options were
exercised and an additional 25,000 options were granted at an exercise price
of $23.163 per share.

     Options granted can be exercised from the date of vesting until
February 1, 2003. No options can be granted after February 4, 1998.  Options
vest 20% when granted and an additional 20% on each successive February 1 for
a period of four years, if the optionee continues to serve as a non-employee
director on the applicable February 1.  Unvested options vest in full in
certain instances of termination.

     In addition, during 1994, the Company approved the Directors' Unit Award
Plan (the "Unit Plan") which provides for the award of a maximum of 15,000
units (the "Units") that, upon vesting under the terms of the Unit Plan, would
result in the issuance of an aggregate of 15,000 shares of common stock in
settlement of Units.

     The Unit Plan provides for the award to each director who is not an
employee of the Company of 2,500 Units.  Upon vesting of the Units awarded to
a director, the Company will settle the Units by issuing to the director, with
no exercise price, a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to
the number of vested Units.

     Rights Plan

     Also upon consummation of the Plan, the Company adopted a Share Purchase
Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan").  Pursuant to the Rights Plan, each share of
common stock also represents one Share Purchase Right (collectively, the
"Rights").  The Rights trade automatically with the underlying shares of
common stock.  Upon becoming exercisable, but prior to the occurrence of
certain events, each Right initially entitles its holder to buy one share of
common stock from the Company at an exercise price of $60.00.  The Rights will
be distributed and become exercisable only if a person or group acquires, or

                                     F-19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

announces its intention to acquire, common stock exceeding certain levels, as
specified in the Rights Plan.  Upon the occurrence of such events, the
exercise price of each Right reduces to one-half of the then current market
price.  The Rights also give the holder certain rights in an acquiring
company's common stock.  The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at a
price of $.01 per Right at any time prior to the distribution of the Rights.
The Rights have no voting power until exercised.

     Common Stock Warrants

     The Company has two series of warrants outstanding, the 2002 Warrants and
the 2006 Warrants.

     In connection with the Plan, the Company issued 114,690 of the 2002
Warrants to purchase one share each of the Company's common stock.  These
warrants, which expire on June 30, 2002, have an exercise price of $5.24 per
share.  During fiscal 1994, 37,395 shares were issued upon the exercise of
these warrants.

     The 2006 Warrants, which expire on September 1, 2006, were subject to
certain adjustments as a result of the Plan, and accordingly, 146,791 of such
warrants are currently outstanding with an exercise price of $38.70 per share.

operations consisted of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     Under the federal income tax laws, the Company was not required to
include in its federal taxable income any cancellation of debt income as a
result of the debt forgiven pursuant to the Plan.  Accordingly, no income
taxes have been provided on the $731 million extraordinary gain on debt
discharge in the statement of operations for the ten months ended July 31,
1992.

     As of September 30, 1994, the Company has estimated tax net operating
loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $247 million available to reduce
future federal taxable income.  These NOL carryforwards expire in 2006 through
2009 and are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.  Due to
the ownership change which occurred as a result of the Restructuring, the
Company's utilization of NOLs generated prior to the Effective Date is
significantly limited. Based on these limitations and certain other factors,
the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire amount of
the NOL deferred tax asset and other deferred tax assets, that in management's
opinion, are not likely to be recovered.

     Effective January 1, 1993, the federal statutory corporate tax rate
increased from 34% to 35%.  The effect of the increase was not material to the
Company.

     The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's income
tax returns for fiscal 1989 through 1993.  In management's opinion, adequate
provisions have been made for any adjustments which may result from these
examinations.

9.   Other Accrued Liabilities

     Other accrued liabilities include amounts due health insurance programs
of $59.3 million and $37.6 million at September 30, 1993 and 1994,
respectively.  Also included in other accrued liabilities is accrued interest
payable of $2.8 million and $18.5 million as of September 30, 1993 and 1994,
respectively.

10.  Supplemental Cash Flow Information

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of its general and
professional liability risks.  The reserves for self-insured general and
professional liability losses, including loss adjustment expenses, are based
on actuarial estimates using the Company's historical claims experience
adjusted for current industry trends.  The reserve for unpaid claims is
adjusted, as such claims mature, to reflect revised actuarial estimates based
on actual experience.  While management and its actuaries believe that the
present reserve is reasonable, ultimate settlement of losses may vary from the
amount provided.

     In addition to general and professional liability claims, the Company is
subject to other claims, suits, surveys and investigations.  The Company has
reached an agreement-in-principle to settle one of such matters upon payment
of an amount that the Company believes will not exceed $2 million.  The terms
of such settlement are subject to certain third-party approvals.  In the
opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such other pending matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

     Subsequent to the resolution of disputes with a group of insurance
carriers, as described in Note 4, the Company was contacted by and began
negotiations with two additional insurance carriers concerning similar
issues.  While the ultimate outcome of these discussions can not be predicted
at this time, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to any
related lawsuits which may be filed if satisfactory resolution is not achieved
and that resolution of any disputes with these two additional insurance
carriers would not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or
future results of operations.

     The Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), for itself or in its capacity
as conservator or receivor for 12 financial institutions, formerly held
certain debt securities that were issued by the Company in 1988.  RTC has
indicated to the Company that it believes that certain financial statements
and other disclosures made by the Company in connection with such debt
securities contained materially misleading statements or material omissions
and that such misleading statements or omissions resulted in an overvaluation
of such debt securities.  Specifically, the RTC has indicated its belief that
the Company's financial statements overstated net income for the 1987 fiscal

                                     F-23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

year and the first three quarters of the 1988 fiscal year due to
understatement of contractual allowances and the allowance for bad debts and
that the Company believed, but did not disclose, that certain negative
industry factors or trends would occur in the foreseeable future.  The Company
believes that the financial institutions represented by RTC purchased in 1988
and 1989 $103.4 million face amount of subordinated debt securities originally
issued by the Company in September 1988.  Although the RTC has not disclosed
to the Company its (or its financial institutions') trading losses from the
purchases and sales of these subordinated debt securities, the RTC has
disclosed the dates purchases and sales were made and the face amounts of the
subordinated debt securities involved in these transactions.  The Company
believes that the trading losses were approximately $45 million.  The Company
has agreed to a tolling of the statute of limitations applicable to RTC's
claims.  Based on a review of relevant law and the facts known to the Company,
the Company believes it has a substantial defense to a potential claim by RTC
and that such claim would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     The Company owns 50% of the Charter Medical Building in Macon, Georgia,
and leases space in such building for certain corporate offices.  Through
September 30, 1994 the Company's corporate headquarters were located in the
building and the lease, which expired September 30, 1994, provided for an
average annual rental of approximately $1.2 million.  Currently the Company is
paying approximately $45,000 per month in rent on the building.  Mr. William
A. Fickling, Jr., a former Director and former Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company, and his father's estate own 25% of the building.  In
the opinion of management, such office space has been leased on terms as
favorable as could be obtained from an unaffiliated party.  As a result of the
Company's interest in the building, the Company received distributions of
approximately $280,000 in fiscal 1994.

     On September 15, 1993, the Company sold its ownership interest in Beech
Street to the children of Mr. Fickling for approximately $5.5 million, plus
the right to receive additional consideration, if certain events (e.g. a
public offering of Beech Street stock or if Beech Street sells 50% or more of
its assets) occur within two years.  The Company obtained a fairness opinion
by an independent appraisal firm stating that the financial consideration was
fair.  The Company acquired its ownership interest in a series of related
transactions beginning in May 1989, for a total purchase price of $2,956,000.
During the period of its ownership, the Company received $1,242,000 in
dividend distributions from Beech Street.

     Beech Street was, prior to May 1989, a wholly owned subsidiary of Beech
Street, Inc., in which Mr. Fickling beneficially owns a majority of the
outstanding stock.

     The Company also has agreements with Beech Street where certain of the
Company's hospitals provide services to employers (and their related employee
and covered dependent groups) who have entered into agreements with Beech
Street to utilize a Beech Street Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") for
hospital and other healthcare services.  Such agreements provide for covered
services to be rendered under terms (including discounts from the hospital's
normal charges) which management of the Company believes are customary for
hospital PPO agreements.  The Beech Street PPO reviews claims and serves as an

                                     F-24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

intermediary between the Company's hospitals and the contracting employers.
The Company derived approximately $14.8 million, $21.4 million and $5.2
million in revenue from these agreements during fiscal 1992, 1993 and 1994,
respectively.  The aggregate discount from customary charges was 17% in fiscal
1992, 12% in fiscal 1993 and 19% in 1994.

     Gerald L. McManis, who was elected director on February 18, 1994, is the
President of McManis Associates, Inc. ("MAI"), a healthcare development and
management consulting firm and a subsidiary of MMI Companies, Inc. ("MMI").
Mr. McManis also serves on the Board of Directors of MMI.  During fiscal 1993
and 1994, MAI provided consulting services for the Company related to the
development of strategic plans and a review of the Company's business
processes.  The Company incurred $1,003,000 and $1,321,000 in fees for such
services during fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively, and reimbursed MAI
$128,000 and $244,000, respectively, for expenses.

13.  Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

     The following is a summary of the quarterly results of operations for the
years ended September 30, 1993 and 1994.  Certain amounts presented below
differ from amounts previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q due to the restatement of the consolidated financial statements to
reflect as discontinued operations the sale of certain subsidiaries in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1993.  The fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 contained
unusual changes of approximately $71.3 million.  See Note 4 for an explanation
of these charges.

14.  Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

           Notes to the Condensed Consolidating Fianncial Statements

     General - These condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the
Guarantors under the Notes and the Revolving Credit Agreement consummated in
May 1994.  The direct and indirect Guarantors are wholly owned by the Company
or a Guarantor Subsidiary of the Company.  Separate financial statements of
the Guarantors are not presented because the Guarantors are jointly, severally
and unconditionally liable under the guarantee, and the Company believes the
condensed consolidating financial statements presented are more meaningful in
understanding the financial position of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the
separate financial statements are deemed not material to investors.

     Distributions - There are no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries to make distributions to the Company.

     Transfers from Guarantors to Nonguarantors - The Revolving Credit
Agreement permits the Company to contribute the assets of hospitals and
related medical facilities to joint ventures that conduct a healthcare
business, provided that certain conditions are satisfied and that the
aggregate fair market value or book value, whichever is greater, of all such
facilities contributed to joint ventures with respect to which the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries do not have a majority of the equity interests
or are not entitled to elect or appoint the directors, managers or trustees,
as applicable, does not exceed $100 million.  Furthermore, the Revolving
Credit Agreement permits the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as
defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, to invest up to $70 million plus the lesser of $30 million
and an amount equal to "accumulated excess cash flow" (as defined in the
Revolving Credit Agreement), of cash and other assets (other than hospitals
and related medical facilities) in subsidiaries of the Company formed to
pursue strategic investments and joint ventures in clinical services and
management information services and to invest up to $80 million in other types
of investments.  The indenture related to the Notes also contains provisions
that permit the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the
indenture for the Notes) to make investments in non-guarantors.  The
provisions contained in the indenture are less restrictive than those
contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement and are, therefore, not relevant
to the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make
investments in non-guarantors as long as the Revolving Credit Agreement is in
effect.

     The Company intends to make investments in Permitted Joint Ventures (as
defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as
defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) to the extent it believes doing so
will be consistent with its business strategy.  To the extent the Company or
its Restricted Subsidiaries make investments of the type described above, the
assets available for debt payments and guarantee obligations could be
diminished.

voting power of the shares represented at the meeting. The Chairman shall
appoint the Secretary of the corporation, or in his absence an Assistant
Secretary, as Secretary of every stockholders' meeting and such other persons
as he deems required to assist with the meeting.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                   DIRECTORS

      Section 1. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole
Board shall be eight. A change in the number of directors shall only occur by
an affirmative vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote thereon cast at a
meeting of the stockholders called for such purpose. The Board of Directors
shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in numbers as the then
total number of directors constituting the whole Board permits, with the term
of office of one class expiring each year. The directors shall be elected at
the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Sections 2 and 3
of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office until his
successor is elected and qualifies. Directors need not be stockholders or a
resident of the State of Delaware.

      Section 2. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and
any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized
number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in
office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the
directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the
respective class or classes for which such directors shall have been chosen
and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner
displaced. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors
may be held in the manner provided by statute.

      Section 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (and
notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law),
any director or the entire Board of Directors of the corporation may be
removed from office at any time, but only (i) for cause by the affirmative
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon cast at a meeting of
the stockholders called for that purpose, or (ii) without cause by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to
vote thereon cast at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

      Section 4. The business of the corporation shall be managed by its Board
of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all
such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of
incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done
by the stockholders.

                      MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

      Section 5. The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings,
both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware. The
Board of Directors shall appoint from its members a Chairman of the Board of
Directors who shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board
of Directors. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors from a
meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall appoint from
its members, by a majority vote of all directors constituting a quorum,
another director who shall preside at such meeting. The Chairman of the Board
of Directors may but need not be an officer of or employed in an executive or
any other capacity by the corporation.

      Section 6. A meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held immediately
following the annual meeting of stockholders at the same place as such annual
meeting or, in the alternative, at such time and place as shall be fixed by
the vote of the stockholders at the annual meeting. No notice of such meeting
shall be necessary, provided a quorum shall be present. In the event such
meeting is not held at the time and place determined under the preceding
sentence, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified
in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of
Directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the
directors.

      Section 7. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held
without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be
determined by the Board of Directors.

      Section 8. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by
the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, or a majority of the
directors then in office (a) by written notice mailed to each director first
class postage prepaid, not later than the fifth day before the meeting, or (b)
by either written or oral notice given personally or by telephone or other
means of electronic communication, in which case the meeting may be held as
soon after such notice is given as a quorum shall be assembled at the place of
the meeting or by telephone conference call, unless another time shall be
specified in the notice.

      Section 9. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the
directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as
may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to
time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum
shall be present.

      Section 10. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of
incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at
any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken
without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may
be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the
minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

      Section 11. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any
committee designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting
of the board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone
or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a
meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

                            COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

      Section 12. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, appoint three or more of its members
to constitute an Executive Committee which to the extent provided by the Board
of Directors shall have and exercise all of the authority of the Board of
Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, in the management of the
business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the
corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. All action taken
by the Executive Committee shall be reported to the Board of Directors at its
first meeting thereafter.

      The Board of Directors may also from time to time by resolution passed
by a majority of the whole Board appoint other committees, consisting of one
or more members, from among its members; and such committee or committees
shall have such powers and duties as the Board of Directors may from time to
time prescribe.

      Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, a majority of the
members of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to this
Section 12 shall constitute a quorum at any meeting thereof and the act of a
majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of such committee. Action may be taken by any such committee
without a meeting by a writing as provided in Section 10 of this Article III.
Any such committee shall, subject to any rules prescribed by the Board of
Directors, prescribe its own rules for calling, giving notice of and holding
meetings and its method of procedure at such meetings and shall keep a written
record of all action taken by it.

      Section 13. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings
and periodically report the same to the Board of Directors.

                           COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

      Section 14. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated
salary as director or a combination thereof. No such payment shall preclude
any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be
allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                                    NOTICES

      Section 1. Whenever, under the provisions of the statutes or of the
certificate of incorporation or of these Bylaws, notice is required to be
given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean
personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, by mail, addressed
to such director or stockholder, at his address as it appears on the records
of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be
deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United
States mail. Notice to directors may also be given as provided in Section 8 of
Article III.

      Section 2. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the

and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of
such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal
representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require

indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such allotment
of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion
or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent, and in such case such
stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be
entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment
thereof, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment
of rights, or to exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the case
may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the
corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive
dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and
assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such

Delaware.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                INDEMNIFICATION

      Section l. Actions Not By Or In The Right Of The Corporation. The
corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in
a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

      Section 2. Actions By Or In The Right Of The Corporation. The
corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

      Section 3. Indemnification Where Director or Officer Successfully
Defends Action. To the extent that a director, officer or employee of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections l and 2 of this Article
VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

      Section 4. Determinations Required Prior To Indemnification. Except as
provided in Section 3 of this Article VII and except as may be ordered by a
court, any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII shall be
made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is
proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII, as the case may be.
Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action,
suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if
obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

      Section 5. Advances. Expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by an
officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article. Such expenses
(including attorney's fees) incurred by other employees may be so paid upon
such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

      Section 6. General. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by or granted pursuant to these Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be or shall become entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions in an
official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding such
office.

      Section 7. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

indemnify him against such liabilities under the certificate of incorporation,
the provisions of these Bylaws or under the provisions of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

      Section 8. The Corporation. For purposes of this Article VII, references
to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation,
any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers and employees, so that any person who is or was a director, officer
or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer or employee of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with
respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with
respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had
continued.

      Section 9. Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Article VII,
references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; the
reference to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request
of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by,
such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan,
its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to
in this Article VII.

      Section 10. Continuation. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, these Bylaws shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.

      Section 11. Future Amendments. In the event of any amendment or addition
to Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the
addition of any other section of such law with regard to indemnification, the
corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by
such then-existing General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in
the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding.

            proposed to be taken by such Person or to approve or adopt (and
            prevent the approval or adoption of) any other matter (including,
            without limitation, the appointment or removal of any individual
            as an officer of such Person) that may from time to time require
            the approval of, or adoption by, all or any portion of the

                  (v) The following is inserted after the definition therein
      of the term "Debt Service Coverage Tests":

      the proviso to such definition.

                  (vii) The following is inserted after the definition therein

            Interest in such Permitted Joint Venture, (b) the issuance or sale
            by a Restricted Subsidiary of its capital stock to a Person or
            Persons other than the Company or any Subsidiary thereof pursuant
            to clause (e) of Section 8.5, unless after giving effect thereto
            such Restricted Subsidiary is a Wholly-Owned Restricted
            Subsidiary, (c) the merger of a Restricted Subsidiary with or
            into, or the consolidation of a Restricted Subsidiary with, a

            giving effect thereto the Restricted Subsidiary whose capital
            stock is being sold is a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary, and
            (e) the failure for any reason of the Company and its Wholly-Owned
            Restricted Subsidiaries to have at any time a Controlling Interest
            in any Permitted Joint Venture that, as a result of the occurrence
            of any Permitted JV Transaction (other than a Limited Permitted JV
            Transaction described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d)),
            owns, leases or subleases a Facility at the time of such failure,
            unless such failure results from the entering into of another
            Permitted JV Transaction with respect to such Permitted Joint
            Venture or the sale of all of the Company's and its Wholly-Owned
            Restricted Subsidiaries' equity interests in such Permitted Joint
            Venture. For purposes of this Agreement, any property or other
            asset (including, without limitation, a Facility and Cash) shall
            be deemed to have been subject to a Limited Permitted JV
            Transaction if it is contributed, leased or subleased pursuant to

            of a Permitted JV Transaction (other than a Limited Permitted JV
            Transaction) at the time a Limited Permitted JV Transaction
            described in clause (e) above occurs with respect to such
            Permitted Joint Venture.

                  (viii) The definition therein of the term "Minimum Income

            amendment or other modification to a lease or sublease of a
            Facility to a Permitted Joint Venture pursuant to Section 8.2(i)

            installment of rent payable thereunder to the Company or any
            Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Facility Acquisition
            only:".

                  (ix) The definition therein of the term "Net Proceeds" is

      rate no greater than the sum of 6% and the then yield for actively
      traded United States securities having a weighted average life to
      maturity that is substantially the same as the weighted average life to
      maturity of such deferred payment obligation)", and (B) inserting the
      following sentence at the end of such definition:

            "Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent the same is
            substantially equivalent to Cash receivable by way of deferred
            payment, 'Net Proceeds' shall not include any equity interest in a
            Permitted Joint Venture resulting from the consummation of a
            Permitted JV Transaction that is received by the Company or any of
            its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the consummation of
            such Permitted JV Transaction."

                  (x) The following is inserted after the definition therein

            Agreement, any property or other asset (including, without
            limitation, a Facility and Cash) shall be deemed to have been
            subject to a Permitted JV Transaction if it is contributed, leased
            or subleased to a Permitted Joint Venture pursuant to Section
            8.8(n) or 8.2(i), as applicable, if it is owned by a Restricted
            Subsidiary at the time such Restricted Subsidiary enters into a

            Transaction occurs with respect to such Permitted Joint Venture."

                  (xii) The definitions therein of the terms "Pro Forma Base
      Core EBITDA" and "Pro Forma Core EBITDA" are amended in their entirety
      to read as follows:

                        "'Pro Forma Base Core EBITDA'means, for any period,
            with respect to any Subject Transaction, the total, without
            duplication, of (a) Base Core EBITDA for such period, plus (b) the
            EBITDA for such period of (i) any Person acquired directly by the
            Company or a Domestic Guarantor and which becomes a Domestic
            Guarantor, or (ii) any Facility (determined as if such Facility
            was a separate Person) acquired directly by the Company or any
            Domestic Guarantor, in either such case as part of such Subject
            Transaction, minus (c) in the case of a Permitted JV Transaction,
            the portion of the Base Core EBITDA for such period attributable
            to each Facility, if any, subject to such Permitted JV
            Transaction. In the case of a Subject Transaction involving the
            acquisition of a Person or a Facility that, as of the time of such
            acquisition has been in existence for less than 12 months, the
            EBITDA for such Person or Facility, as the case may be, for such
            period shall be deemed to be, for purposes of the preceding clause
            (b), the product of (1) its actual EBITDA, and (2) the quotient,
            expressed as percentage, of the number of months in such period
            divided by the number of months for which such Person or Facility,
            as the case may be, has any EBITDA.

                        'Pro Forma Core EBITDA'means, for any period, with
            respect to any Subject Transaction, the total, without
            duplication, of (a) Core EBITDA for such period, plus (b) the
            EBITDA for such period of (i) any Person which is directly

<PAGE>

            acquired by the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary
            and becomes a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

            separate Person) directly acquired by the Company or any of its
            Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, in either such case as part
            of such Subject Transaction, minus (c) in the case of a Permitted
            JV Transaction, the product of (i) the portion of the Core EBITDA
            for such period attributable to each Facility, if any, subject to
            such Permitted JV Transaction (minus, in the case of a lease or a
            sublease of a Facility to a Permitted Joint Venture pursuant to
            Section 8.8(i), the aggregate rent payable to the Company and its
            Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries under such lease or sublease
            during such period, assuming for such purpose that such lease or
            sublease had been entered into at the beginning of such period),
            and (ii) the excess of 100% over the Company's and its
            Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries aggregate percentage
            ownership interest in such Permitted Joint Venture after giving
            effect to such Permitted JV Transaction, plus (minus) (d) in the
            case of any change to the amount of, or any change in the payment
            date for, any rent payable to the Company or any of its
            Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries under a lease or sublease by
            any such Person of a Facility to a Permitted Joint Venture
            pursuant to Section 8.2(i), the change resulting therefrom to the
            aggregate amount of rent payable during such period, assuming for
            such purpose that such change became effective at the beginning of
            such period. In the case of a Subject Transaction involving the
            acquisition of a Person or a Facility that, as of the time of such
            acquisition has been in existence for less than 12 months, the
            EBITDA for such Person or Facility, as the case may be, for such
            period shall be deemed to be, for purposes of the preceding clause
            (b), the product of (1) its actual EBITDA, and (2) the quotient,
            expressed as a percentage, of the number of months in such period
            divided by the number of months for which such Person or Facility,
            as the case may be, has any EBITDA."

                  (xiii) The definition therein of the term "Subject
      Transactions" is amended by (A) replacing the text of clause (a) thereof
      with "any Permitted JV Transaction,", (B) deleting the word "and" before

            Joint Venture pursuant to Section 8.2(i) that decreases the amount
            of, or changes the payment date for, any installment of rent
            payable to the Company or any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary
            pursuant thereto".

      hereof, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is

is contributed, leased or subleased by the Company or any Wholly-Owned
Restricted Subsidiary to a Permitted Joint Venture pursuant to Section 8.2 or
Section 8.8.

      Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) will not conflict with or result in
      any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of,
      or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition
      of any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the
      property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to
      the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other
      instrument (including, without limitation, the Senior Subordinated Notes
      Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
      by which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
      properties or assets is bound or subject to, except to the extent such
      conflict, breach, default or creation or imposition would not have a
      Material Adverse Effect;

                  (b) this Amendment, the Credit Agreement as amended hereby
      and, after giving effect to this Amendment, the other Credit Documents
      constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and
      the Credit Parties party thereto, enforceable against the Company and
      such Credit Parties in accordance with their respective terms, except to
      the extent such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
      enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of
      equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
      equity or at law); and

                         CMC/CORPORATE INCENTIVE PLAN
                                     FY 94



I.     PURPOSE

       The  purpose  of  this  plan  is  to  provide  an  incentive  to certain
       executives and key employees  of  the  Company  who  contribute  to  the
       success  of the enterprise by offering an opportunity to such persons to
       earn compensation in addition to their salaries, based on the  operating
       income of the Company.



II.    ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

       Eligibility  for participation in the Incentive Plan shall be determined
       by management from among those key employees who are in  a  position  to
       materially   contribute   to   the  success  of  the  Company.  Specific
       requirements  for  participation  are  outlined  in  Section   VIII   C,
       Conditions for Receiving Payment, in the Definition of Terms.

       If a person otherwise eligible for participation in the  Incentive  Plan
       becomes  an  employee  of  the  Company  during  the  fiscal  year, such
       employee shall be eligible to receive a prorated portion  of  an  annual
       bonus  (number  of  semimonthly  pay  periods  of  employment divided by
       twenty-four), subject to approval of such employee's vice president  or,
       in the case of an officer, his superior's approval.



III.   METHOD OF ALLOCATION

       Each  participant  must  meet  the  goals  established by management. In
       order to receive a bonus, each participant must be recommended for  all,
       part  or  none  of  his  bonus by his superior, with the approval of the
       Chairman. Each participant's assigned bonus  percentage  corresponds  to
       established  targets  set  by  management.  The  percentages  are  on  a
       variable scale. The various percentages of achievement are:



                                                    Target Bonus Percentage

                                                90%  95%    100%    110%   120%

       Executive Officer                        0%   40%   50.0%   67.5%   85%

IV.    PLAN SEGMENTS

       For corporate personnel, the Incentive  Plan  consists  of  one  segment
       with one target:

            1.    an EBDIT (defined in Section VIII A.) bonus  target  for  the
                  corporation


V.     DISTRIBUTION

       The  distribution  of bonuses shall be made promptly after completion of
       unaudited financial statements for the 1994 Fiscal Year  or  as  may  be
       otherwise  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  Specific provisions
       regarding distribution are outlined in Section VIII  C,  Conditions  for
       Receiving Payment, in the Definition of Terms.


VI.    ADMINISTRATION

       The Plan will be administered by the Executive Committee of the Company.


VII.   INTERPRETATION AND DURATION

       Any  areas  of  question,  interpretation, dispute, etc., concerning any
       area of this plan shall be governed by the Executive  Committee  of  the
       Company.  The  Executive  Committee  is  defined  as  the  Chairman, the
       Executive Vice President and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  and  the  Vice
       President  of  Administrative Services. This plan shall be effective for
       the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1993. The Executive  Committee  and
       the  Board  of  Directors each retain the authority to modify, repeal or
       discontinue the plan.


VIII.  DEFINITION OF TERMS

       A.   EBDIT

            EBDIT  is  income  of  the Company before (1) interest expense, (2)
            ESOP expense, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) provision  for
            state   and   federal   income  taxes,  (5)  interest  income,  (6)
            restructuring charges, and (7) stock  option  expense,  subject  to
            adjustment for the following:

                  A significant, unexpected change  in  the  operation  of  the
                  company  as  a  result of condemnation, major physical damage
                  from  a  fire  or  other  catastrophe,  strike,  governmental
                  seizure,  or disruption due to construction will result in an
                  adjustment  to  income.  This  will  avoid  any  penalty   or
                  windfall  as a result of changes in capacity to contribute to
                  overall parent company earnings which are not the  result  of
                  the  participant's ability to manage the operation. This does
                  not  include  changes   in   Blue   Cross   or   governmental
                  reimbursement  policies,  loss of a prime admitter, expansion
                  by another hospital,  etc.,  which  are  regarded  as  normal
                  business risks.

                                       2

      B.    Change in Accounting Policy or Practice

            A material change (from the prior year)  in  accounting  policy  or
            practice  which has an effect on the Company's EBDlT (i.e., changes
            in the procedures for reserving for doubtful accounts, asset  sales
            or  acquisitions,  etc.)  will  be  considered  as an adjustment to
            EBDIT. Year end adjustments to correct prior errors  or  to  adjust
            previous  estimates and accruals will not be regarded as changes in
            policy or practice.

      C.    Conditions For Receiving Payment

            Incentive compensation under the Incentive Plan is not an  integral
            part  of  an  employee's  compensation  package. An employee's base
            salary compensates the employee for the  expected  results  of  any
            given  job.  Payment of incentive compensation is in the discretion
            of the Executive Committee.

            No   incentive  compensation  will  be  paid  to  any  employee  if
            employment is terminated, whether voluntary or  involuntary,  prior
            to  the  actual  payment  date.  However,  the  Executive Committee
            retains authority to make exceptions to  the  foregoing  policy  in
            unusual  or  meritorious  cases  including, but not limited to, the
            death of an employee during  the  fiscal  year  or  termination  of
            employment  due  to  total or partial disability or retirement with
            the consent of the Company.

            If  a  person  (eligible  for the Incentive Plan) joins the Company
            within the first three quarters of the  fiscal  year,  he  will  be
            eligible  for  the  prorated  amount  of  his  bonus subject to the
            approval of the Executive Committee.

pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by Stock Option

Options granted shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

          (a)  Employment.  Each Participant shall agree to
     remain in the employ of and to render services to the
     Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof for such period as the
     Committee may require in the Stock Option Agreement;
     provided, however, that such agreement shall not impose upon
     the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof any obligation to
     retain the Participant in its employ for any period.

          (b)  Number of Shares.  Each Stock Option Agreement
     shall state the total number of shares of Stock to which it
     pertains.

     (c)  Exercise Price.  With respect to options granted prior
to March 31, 1993, the exercise price per share for Series A
Options shall be $4.36, subject to adjustment as contemplated by
Section 9 and 10.  With respect to options granted on or after
March 31, 1993, the exercise price per share for Series A Options
shall be Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant, but
not less than $4.36 per share, subject to adjustment as
contemplated by Sections 9 and 10.  The exercise price per share
for Series B Options shall be $9.60, subject to adjustment as
contemplated by Sections 9 and 10.

          (d)  Medium and Time of Payment.  The exercise price
     shall be payable upon the exercise of the Option, or as
     provided in Section 7(e) if the Corporation adopts a
     broker-directed cashless exercise/resale procedure, in each
     case in an amount equal to the number of shares then being
     purchased times the per share exercise price.  Payment, at
     the election of the Participant, shall be (i) in cash; (ii)
     by delivery to the Corporation of a certificate or
     certificates for shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer


                                       8
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

     to the Corporation with signature guaranteed by a member
     firm of the New York Stock Exchange or by a national banking
     association, (iii) by the withholding by the Corporation of
     shares of stock that otherwise would be issued to the
     Participant as a result of the exercise of such Option to
     the extent that the Participant elects to pay such exercise
     price through such withheld shares of Stock (provided,
     however, that any such election and withholding of shares of
     Stock pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be effected so as
     to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the
     Exchange Act, if applicable), or (iv) by a combination of
     (i), (ii) and (iii).  In the event of any payment by
     delivery or withholding of shares of Stock, such shares
     shall be valued on the basis of their Fair Market Value
     determined as of the day prior to the date of delivery or
     withholding.  If payment is made by delivery of shares of
     Stock, the value of such Stock may not exceed the total
     exercise price payment; but the preceding clause shall not
     prevent delivery of a stock certificate for a number of
     shares having a greater value, if the number of shares to be
     applied to payment of the exercise price is designated by
     the Participant and the Participant requests that a
     certificate for the remainder shares be delivered to the
     Participant.

          In addition to the payment of the purchase price of the
     shares of Stock then being purchased, a Participant shall
     also, pursuant to Section 16, pay to the Corporation or
     otherwise provide for an amount equal to the amount, if any,
     which the Corporation at the time of exercise is required to
     withhold under the income tax withholding provisions of the
     Internal Revenue Code and other applicable income tax laws.

          (e)  Method of Exercise.  All Options shall be
     exercised (i) by written notice directed to the Secretary of
     the Corporation at its principal place of business,
     accompanied by payment made in accordance with the foregoing
     subsection (d) of the option exercise price for the number
     of shares specified in the notice of exercise and by any
     documents required by Section 14, or (ii) by complying with
     the exercise and other provisions of any broker-directed
     cashless exercise/resale procedure adopted by the
     Corporation and approved by the Committee, and by delivery
     of any documents required by Section 14.  The Corporation
     shall make delivery of such shares within a reasonable
     period of time or in accordance with applicable provisions
     of any such broker-directed cashless exercise/resale
     procedure; provided, however, that if any law or regulation
     requires the Corporation to take any action (including but
     not limited to the filing of a registration statement under
     the Securities Act of 1933 and causing such registration
     statement to become effective) with respect to the shares
     specified in such notice before their issuance, then the
     date of delivery of such shares shall be extended for the
     period necessary to take such action.

          (f)  Term of Options.  Except as otherwise specifically
     provided in the Plan or in a particular Stock Option
     Agreement, the terms of all Options shall commence on the
     date of grant and shall expire on October 1, 2000.

          (g)  Exercise of Options.  Options are exercisable only
     to the extent they are vested as provided in Section 8.
     After Options have vested in accordance with Section 8, such
     Options are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part
     during their terms, except that Options that vest prior to
     December 31, 1995 shall not be exercisable after
     September 30, 2000.  If a Participant's employment with the
     Corporation or any Subsidiary is terminated without Cause,
     the vested portion of each Option held by such Participant
     on the date of such termination (after giving effect to the
     provisions of Section 8) may be exercised for one year
     following the date of termination of employment, or, if such
     termination occurs subsequent to September 30, 1995, within
     six months of such termination of employment.  In the event
     of the death, Disability or retirement at or after age 65 of
     a Participant, the vested portion of each Option held by
     such Participant on the date of such event may be exercised
     within six months of the date of such event.

     In the event of the death of a Participant, the vested
portion of each Option previously held by such Participant may be
exercised within the time set forth above by the executor or
other legal representative of such Participant.

          (h)  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  Upon
     a change in capitalization pursuant to Section 10, the
     number of shares covered by an Option and the per share
     option exercise price shall be adjusted in accordance with
     the provisions of Section 10.

          (i)  Transferability.  No Option shall be assignable or
     transferable by the Participant except by will or by the
     laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
     domestic relations order as defined by the Code or ERISA.
     The designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a
     transfer; and, during the lifetime of a Participant, all
     Options held by such Participant shall be exercisable only
     by him or his lawful representative in the event of his
     incapacity.

          (j)  Rights as a Stockholder.  A Participant shall have
     no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares covered by
     his Option until the date of the issuance of the shares to
     him and only after such shares are fully paid.  Unless
     specified in Section 10, no adjustment will be made for
     dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
     to the date of such issuance.

          (k)  Miscellaneous Provisions.  The Stock Option
     Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other
     provisions not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as
     the Committee shall deem advisable.

     8.   Vesting.  Options granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable only to the extent such Options have become vested
pursuant to this Section 8.

          (a)  Options granted under this Plan prior to, on or
     within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (1)
     shall become vested as follows, or (2), in the discretion of
     the Committee, shall become vested on terms that are no more
     favorable to a Participant than the following terms:

               (i)  20% (or such lesser amount as the Committee
          may determine) of each Option shall be deemed vested on
          the Effective Date or date of grant, whichever is
          later.

               (ii) 20% of each Option shall vest as of the last
          day of each of the fiscal years 1992 through 1995 in
          which the Corporation achieves 100% of cumulative
          Target EBDIT through such fiscal year.  If cumulative
          Target EBDIT is achieved through a given fiscal year
          between the end of fiscal year 1991 through fiscal year
          1995, such percentage of each Option which would have
          become vested had the Corporation achieved Target EBDIT
          for prior fiscal years shall be deemed vested as of the
          last day of the fiscal year in which cumulative Target
          EBDIT was achieved by the Corporation.  Target EBDIT
          for each of the fiscal years 1991 through 1995 is set
          forth below and on Exhibit A:


Fiscal Year                           Target EBDIT

   1991                               Actual
   1992                             $222.000 million
   1993                             $231.000 million
   1994                             $154.692 million
   1995                             $255.000 million

               (iii)  10% of each Option shall vest as of the
          last day of each of the fiscal years 1992 through 1995
          in which the Corporation achieves exactly 100% of
          cumulative Financial Target EBDIT through such fiscal
          year.  If cumulative Financial Target EBDIT is exactly
          achieved through a given fiscal year between the end of
          fiscal year 1991 through fiscal year 1995, such
          percentage of each Option which would have become
          vested had the Corporation achieved exactly 100% of
          Financial Target EBDIT for prior fiscal years shall be
          deemed vested as of the last day of the fiscal year in
          which cumulative Financial Target EBDIT was achieved
          exactly by the Corporation.

               (iv)  To the extent that the Corporation achieves
          a level of cumulative EBDIT between cumulative Target
          EBDIT and cumulative Financial Target EBDIT as of the
          end of any of the fiscal years 1992 through 1995, there


                                      11

          shall be deemed to have vested as of the last day of
          such fiscal year such percentage of each Option as
          shall equal [A - (B X C)] - D where:

          A equals:

               the cumulative percentage of Options which would
               be deemed vested as of the last day of the fiscal
               year with respect to which this calculation is
               made had the Corporation achieved cumulative
               Target EBDIT through such date;

          B equals:

               (1) the difference between (a) the cumulative
               percentage of Options which would be deemed vested
               as of the last day of the fiscal year with respect
               to which this calculation is made had the
               Corporation achieved cumulative Target EBDIT
               through such date and (b) the cumulative
               percentage of Options which would be deemed vested
               as of the same date had the Corporation achieved
               exactly the cumulative Financial Target EBDIT for
               each of the fiscal years through such date,
               divided by (2) the difference between cumulative
               Target EBDIT through such date and cumulative
               Financial Target EBDIT through such date;

          C equals:

               the difference between cumulative Target EBDIT and
               cumulative EBDIT as of the last day of the fiscal
               year with respect to which this calculation is
               made; and

          D equals:

               the percentage of each Option which has already
               become vested.

               (v)  The unvested portion of each Option shall
          become fully vested in the event of a Change in
          Control.

               (vi) The unvested portion of each Option shall
          terminate and be cancelled immediately upon the
          termination of a Participant's employment with the
          Corporation or any Subsidiary for Cause.

               (vii)     With respect to Options granted prior to
          August 27, 1992, if a Participant's employment with the
          Corporation or any Subsidiary is terminated without
          Cause or upon the death, Disability or retirement at or
          after age 65, the unvested portion of each Option
          shall:  (a) vest as of the date of termination of
          employment, death, Disability or retirement at or after


                                      12

<PAGE>

          age 65 if cumulative Contract Target EBDIT has been
          achieved by the Corporation through the end of the
          fiscal year ending most recently prior to the date of
          such termination of employment, death, Disability or
          retirement at or after age 65, or (b) terminate and be
          cancelled immediately upon termination of employment if
          cumulative Contract Target EBDIT has not been achieved
          by the Corporation through the end of the fiscal year
          ending most recently prior to the date of such
          termination of employment.  With respect to Options
          granted on or after August 27, 1992, if a Participant's
          employment is terminated without Cause or upon the
          death, Disability or retirement at or after age 65, the
          unvested portion of each Option shall:  (a) terminate
          and be cancelled immediately as of the date of
          termination of employment, death, Disability or
          retirement at or after age 65, or (b) vest, in whole or
          in part, as provided by the Committee in its
          discretion.

          (b)  Options granted under this Plan after ninety (90)
     days following the Effective Date shall become vested on
     such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine,
     after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer.

     9.   Adjustment of Exercise Price.

     In addition to adjustments made as a result of a change in
the capitalization of the Corporation as provided in Section 10,
the exercise price of Options shall be adjusted as follows:

          (a)  Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in
     Control within three years following the Effective Date, the
     option exercise price per share shall be automatically
     reduced so as to equal the applicable percentage of the full
     exercise price per share set forth in the table below:

If Change in Control
     Occurs:             Percent of Full Exercise Price

Within twelve months
of the Effective Date
(Year One)                              50%

First Quarter of
Year Two                                56.25%

Second Quarter of
Year Two                                62.5%

Third Quarter of
Year Two                                68.75%

Fourth Quarter of
Year Two                                75%

First Quarter of
Year Three                              81.25%

Second Quarter of
Year Three                              87.5%

Third Quarter of
Year Three                              93.75%

Fourth Quarter of
Year Three and Thereafter              100%

           (b)   Termination  Without  Cause.   With  respect  to
Options  granted  prior to August 27, 1992, the exercise price of
Options shall be adjusted as follows:

          (i) If a Participant's employment with the Corporation
     or any Subsidiary is terminated without Cause, the exercise
     price per share of the vested portion of each Option of such
     Participant shall be reduced to 50% of the full exercise
     price if cumulative Contract Target EBDIT has been achieved
     by the Corporation through the end of the fiscal year ending
     most recently prior to the date of termination of employment
     of a Participant without Cause.

          (ii)  If cumulative Target EBDIT has been achieved by
     the Corporation through the end of the fiscal year ending
     most recently prior to the date of termination of employment
     of a Participant without Cause, the exercise price per share
     of the vested portion of each Option of such Participant
     shall be equal to:  (a) the par value per share of shares of
     Stock issued from authorized but unissued shares of Stock in
     satisfaction of the exercise of the vested portion of such
     Options, and (b) $0.10 per share for shares of Stock issued
     from shares of Stock held by the Corporation as treasury
     shares in satisfaction of the exercise of the vested portion
     of such Options.

          (iii)  If the Corporation has achieved a level of
     cumulative EBDIT in excess of cumulative Contract Target
     EBDIT through the end of the fiscal year most recently
     preceding the date of a Participant's termination of
     employment without Cause, but such cumulative EBDIT achieved
                                      13
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

     by the Corporation does not equal or exceed cumulative
     Target EBDIT through such period, the percentage of the full
     exercise price per share of the vested percentage of each
     Option of such Participant shall equal the product of A and
     B where:

A equals:

     (a) 50 divided by (b) the difference between 100% and the
     percentage derived by dividing cumulative Contract Target
     EBDIT by cumulative Target EBDIT through the end of the
     fiscal year with respect to which this calculation relates;
     and

B equals:

     the difference between 100% and the percentage of cumulative
     Target EBDIT achieved by the Corporation through the end of
     the fiscal year with respect to which this calculation
     relates;

provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price per
share of Stock be reduced to an amount per share of less than (i)
the par value per share of shares of Stock issued from authorized
but unissued shares of Stock, or (ii) $.10 per share for shares
of Stock issued from shares of Stock held by the Corporation as
treasury shares, in satisfaction of the exercise of the vested
portion of any Option.


     With respect to Options granted on or after August 27, 1992,
the exercise price of Options shall not be adjusted upon
termination of employment without Cause, except as may be
otherwise provided by the Committee, in its discretion.

     10.  Change in Capitalization.  If the Stock should, as a
result of a stock split or stock dividend, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the
Corporation or exchange of Stock for other securities by
reclassification or otherwise, be increased or decreased or
changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
shares or other securities of the Corporation, or any other
corporation, then the number of shares covered by Options, the
number and kind of shares which thereafter may be distributed or
issued under the Plan and the per share option price of Options
shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in
such manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent
dilution of or increase in the rights granted to, or available
for, Participants.

     11.  Fractional Shares.  In the event that any provision of
this Plan or a Stock Option Agreement would create a right to
acquire a fractional share of Stock, such fractional share shall
be disregarded.




                                      14

     12.  Successor Corporation.  The obligations of the
Corporation under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor
corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of
the assets and business of the Corporation and shall continue to
be binding upon the Corporation notwithstanding any change in
ownership of the Corporation.  The Corporation agrees that it
will make appropriate provision for the preservation of
Participants' rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan
which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such transfer of
assets or ownership.

     13.  Non-Alienation of Benefits.  Except insofar as
applicable law may otherwise require, (i) no Options, rights or
interest of Participants or Stock deliverable to any Participant
at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to
alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment,
bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge of encumbrance of any
kind, and any attempt to so alienate, sell, transfer, assign,
pledge, attach, charge or otherwise encumber any such amount,
whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void; and (ii),
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Plan shall in no
manner be liable for, or subject to, claims, liens, attachments
or other like proceedings or the debts, liabilities, contracts,
engagements, or torts of any Participant or beneficiary.  Nothing
in this Section 13 shall prevent a Participant's rights and
interests under the Plan from being transferred by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order as defined by the Code or ERISA;
provided, however, that no transfer by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the
Corporation unless the Committee or its designee shall have been
furnished before or after the death of such Participant with a
copy of such will or such other evidence as the Committee may
deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

     14.  Listing and Qualification of Shares.  The Corporation,
in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of
shares of Stock until completion of any stock exchange listing,
or other qualification or registration of such shares under any
state or federal law, rule or regulation, as the Corporation may
consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make
such representations, including, but not limited to, a written
representation that the shares are to be acquired for investment
and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof,
and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.  The
Corporation may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such representation
and to restrict transfer in the absence of compliance with
applicable federal or state securities laws.

     15.  No Claim or Right Under the Plan.  No employee of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary shall at any time have the right to
be selected as a Participant in the Plan nor, having been



                                      15
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

selected as a Participant and granted an Option, to be granted
any additional Option.  Neither the action of the Corporation in
establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by it or by the Board
or the Committee thereunder, nor any provision of the Plan, nor
participation in the Plan, shall be construed to give, and does
not give, to any person the right to be retained in the employ of
the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or interfere in any way with
the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to discharge or
terminate any person at any time without regard to the effect
such discharge or termination may have upon such person's rights,
if any, under the Plan.

     16.  Taxes.  The Corporation may make such provisions and
take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the
withholding of all federal, state, local and other taxes required
by law to be withheld with respect to Options under the Plan,
including, but not limited to, (i) deducting the amount required
to be withheld from salary or any other amount then or thereafter
payable to a Participant, beneficiary or legal representative,
(ii) requiring a Participant, beneficiary or legal representative
to pay to the Corporation the amount required to be withheld as a
condition of releasing the Stock or (iii) complying with
applicable provisions of any broker-directed cashless
exercise/resale procedure adopted by the Corporation pursuant to
Section 7(e).  If, in the exercise of an Option, the Corporation
requires payment pursuant to (ii), then, to the extent permitted
by the Corporation in its discretion, payment may be made in any
medium provided for in subsection (d) of Section 7.  The
Committee also shall have the right to provide in any Stock
Option Agreement that a Participant may elect to satisfy federal
and state withholding requirements through a reduction in the
number of shares of Stock actually transferred to such
Participant under this Plan and, if applicable, any such election
and any such reduction shall be effected so as to satisfy the
conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

     17.  No Liability of Directors.  No member of the Board or
Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or
other instrument executed by such member on his behalf in his
capacity as a member of the Board or Committee, nor for any
mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Corporation shall
indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer and Director
of the Corporation, to whom any duty or power relating to the
administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or
delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees)
or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim
with the approval of the Board) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan to the fullest extent
permitted or required by the Corporation's governing instruments
and, in addition, to the fullest extent of any applicable
insurance policy purchased by the Corporation.

     18.  Other Plans.  Nothing contained in the Plan is intended
to amend, modify or rescind any previously approved compensation
plans or programs entered into by the Corporation or its



                                      16
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

Subsidiaries.  The Plan shall be construed to be in addition to
any and all such plans or programs.  No award of Options under
the Plan shall be construed as compensation under any other
executive compensation or employee benefit plan of the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, except as specifically
provided in any such plan or as otherwise provided by the
Committee.  The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be
construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority
of the Board to adopt such additional compensation or incentive
arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.

     19.  Amendment or Termination.  This Plan may be amended by
the Board from time to time to the extent that the Board deems
necessary or appropriate; provided, however, no such amendment
shall be made absent the approval of the stockholders of the
Corporation:  (1) if stockholder approval of such amendment is
required for continued compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange
Act, or (2) if stockholder approval of such amendment is required
by any other applicable laws or regulations or by the rules of
the American Stock Exchange as long as the Stock is listed for
trading on such Exchange.  The Committee also may suspend the
granting of Options under this Plan at any time and may terminate
this Plan at any time; provided, however, the Corporation shall
not have the right initially to modify, amend or cancel any
Option granted before such suspension or termination unless (1)
the Participant consents in writing to such modification,
amendment or cancellation or (2) there is a dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation or a transaction described in
Section 10 of this Plan or (3) there is a Change in Control.

     20.  Captions.  The captions preceding the sections of the
Plan have been inserted solely as a matter of convenience and
shall not, in any manner, define or limit the scope or intent of
any provisions of the Plan.

     21.  Governing Law.  The Plan and all rights thereunder
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Georgia, without reference to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.

     22.  Expenses.  All expenses of administering the Plan shall
be borne by the Corporation.

     23.  Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of the
Effective Date following its adoption by the Board, provided that
the stockholders of the Corporation shall approve this Plan after
the date of its adoption in accordance with the requirements of
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act at a meeting of stockholders to
be held prior to the Effective Date.

       (as amended on December 15, 1993 and September 15, 1994)


      1.     Purpose.   The  Charter  Medical  Corporation  Directors'
Stock  Option  Plan  (the "Plan") is intended as an incentive and as a
means of encouraging stock ownership by non-employee  members  of  the
Board of Directors of Charter Medical Corporation (the "Company").

      2.    Administration.

       (a)   The Plan shall be administered, construed and interpreted
by the Compensation  Committee  (the  "Committee")  of  the  Board  of
Directors.   During any time that the Board of Directors does not have
a Compensation Committee, the duties of the Committee under  the  Plan
shall be performed by the Board of Directors.

      (b)   The interpretation and construction by  the  Committee  of
any  provision  of  the Plan, any option granted under it or any Stock
Option Agreement and any determination by the Committee,  pursuant  to
any  provision  of  the  Plan,  any such option or any provisions of a
Stock Option Agreement, shall be final and conclusive.  The terms  and
conditions  of  each  individual  Stock  Option  Agreement shall be in
accordance with the provisions of the  Plan,  but  the  Committee  may
provide  for  such  additional  terms  and conditions, not in conflict
with the provisions of the Plan, as it deems advisable.

       3.     Eligibility.   Members of the Board of Directors who are
not employees of the  Company  or  any  subsidiary  shall  be  granted
options under and pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

      4.    Stock.   The  stock  subject  to  the  options  and  other
provisions  of the Plan shall be authorized but unissued or reacquired
shares of the $.25 par value Common Stock of the Company (the  "Common
Stock").   Subject  to  readjustment in accordance with the provisions
of Section 6(h), the total amount of Common  Stock  on  which  options
may  be  granted  to  Directors under the Plan shall not exceed in the
aggregate 175,000 shares.

       If  any  outstanding option (or portion thereof) under the Plan
for any reason expires unexercised or is terminated  without  exercise
prior  to  the  end of the period during which options may be granted,
the shares of Common Stock allocable to  the  unexercised  portion  of
such option again may be subjected to an option under the Plan.

      5.     Grant  of  Options.   Each  eligible  Director  shall  be
granted  on the later of February 4, 1993, or the date he or she first
becomes a Director an option  to  purchase  25,000  shares  of  Common
Stock,  for  so  long  as  shares are available under the Plan, but no
option shall be granted  after  February  4,  1998.   Options  granted
shall  be subject to the vesting and other terms and conditions of the
Plan and each optionee's Stock Option Agreement.

       6.     Terms  and Conditions of Options.  Stock options granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by Stock Option Agreements  in
such  form  as  the  Committee  from  time to time shall approve; such
agreements and the stock options granted  thereby  shall  comply  with
and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            (a)   Number  of  Shares.   Each  Stock  Option  Agreement
shall  state  the  total  number  of  shares  of Common Stock to which
it       pertains.

            (b)   Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share shall
      be the arithmetic average of the Fair Market Value per share of
      the Common Stock on the ten trading days that precede the date
      of grant, including the date of grant as the tenth trading day,
      on which shares of the Common Stock are traded.

            (c)   Medium and Time of Payment.  The exercise price
      shall be payable upon the exercise of the option, or as provided
      in Section 6(f) if the Company adopts a broker-directed cashless
      exercise/resale procedure, in each case in an amount equal to
      the number of shares then being purchased times the per share
      exercise price.  Payment at the election of the optionee, shall
      be (i) in cash; (ii) by delivery to the Company of a certificate
      or certificates for shares of Common Stock, duly endorsed for
      transfer to the Company with signature guaranteed by a member
      firm of the New York Stock Exchange or by a national banking
      association; (iii) by the withholding by the Company of shares
      of stock that otherwise would be issued to the optionee as a
      result of the exercise of such option to the extent that the
      optionee elects to pay such exercise price through such withheld
      shares of Common Stock (provided, however, that any such
      election and withholding of shares pursuant to this clause (iii)
      shall be effected so as to comply with the provisions of Rule
      16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if applicable);
      or (iv) by a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii).  In the event
      of any payment by delivery or withholding of shares of Common
      Stock, such shares shall be valued on the basis of their Fair
      Market Value determined as of the day prior to the date of
      delivery or withholding.  If payment is made by delivery of
      shares of Common Stock, the value of such shares may not exceed
      the total exercise price payment; but the preceding clause shall
      not prevent delivery of a stock certificate for a number of
      shares having a greater value, if the number of shares to be
      applied to payment of the exercise price is designated by the
      optionee and the optionee requests that a certificate for the
      remainder shares be delivered to the optionee.

            In addition to the payment of the purchase price of the
      shares then being purchased, an optionee shall also, pursuant to
      Section 12, pay to the Company or otherwise provide for an
      amount equal to the amount, if any, which the Company at the
      time of exercise is required to withhold under the income tax
      withholding provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and other
      applicable income tax laws.

            (d)   Fair Market Value.  For purposes of Sections 6(b)
      and (c), Fair Market Value of Common Stock shall be determined
      on the applicable date as follows.  If the Common Stock is
      registered on a national securities exchange (as such term is
      defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or is regularly
      traded in the over-the-counter market on the date of
      determination, the Fair Market Value per share of the Common
      Stock shall be determined as the price equal to the mean between
      the high and low sales prices of a share of the Common Stock on
      said national securities exchange on that day [or, for purposes
      of Section 6(c),  if no shares of the stock are traded on that
      date but there were shares traded on dates within a reasonable
      period both before and after such date, the Fair Market Value
      shall be the weighted average of the means between the high and
      low sales prices of the stock on the nearest date before and the
      nearest date after that date on which shares of the stock are
      traded] or of the mean between the high "bid" and low "asked"
      prices per share in said over-the-counter market on that day, as
      reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers
      Automated Quotation System (or a successor to such system).  If
      the Common Stock is traded on two national securities exchanges,
      the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the weighted
      average Fair Market Value on such exchanges unless one of such
      exchanges is the American Stock Exchanges in which case Fair
      Market Value shall be determined by prices on that exchange.  If
      the Common Stock is traded both on a national securities
      exchange and in the over-the-counter market, the Fair Market
      Value shall be determined by the prices on the national
      securities exchange, unless transactions on such exchange and in
      the over-the-counter market are jointly reported on a
      consolidated reporting system in which case the Fair Market
      Value shall be determined by reference to such consolidated
      reporting system.  If the Common Stock is not listed for trading
      on a national securities exchange and is not regularly traded in
      the over-the-counter market, then the Committee shall determine
      the Fair Market Value of the stock from all relevant available
      facts which may include opinions of independent experts as to
      value and may take into account any recent sales and purchases
      of such stock to the extent they are representative.

            (e)   Terms of Options; Date of Exercise.  Terms of
      options granted under the Plan shall commence on the date of
      grant and shall expire on February 3, 2003, subject to Section
      6(g). Each option shall become exercisable when vested.

      (f)   Method of Exercise.  Options shall be exercised (i) by
written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company at its
principal place of business, accompanied by payment [made in
accordance with Section 6(c)], in cash or personal check (which will
be accepted subject to collection), or by certificates for shares of
the Common Stock, or by directions for withholding of shares, or by a
combination of the foregoing, of the option price for the number of
shares specified in the notice of exercise and by any documents
required by Section 6(j), or (ii) by complying with the exercise and
other provisions of any broker-directed cashless exercise/resale
procedure adopted by the Company and approved by the Committee, and by


                                      21
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

delivery of any documents required by Section 6(j).  The Company shall
make delivery of such shares within a reasonable period of time or in
accordance with applicable provisions of any such broker-directed
cashless exercise/resale procedure; provided, however, that if any law
or regulation requires the Company to take any action (including but
not limited to the filing of a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 and causing such registration statement to
become effective) with respect to the shares specified in such notice
before the issuance thereof, then the date of delivery of such shares
shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action.

            (g)   Effect of Termination of Service as a Director.  If
      an optionee during his life ceases to be a non-employee Director
      of the Company (including its subsidiaries) due to voluntary
      resignation as a Director, voluntary decision not to stand for
      reelection or removal as a Director by the stockholders for
      cause, then the unvested portion of any option shall terminate
      on the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration date of the
      option, or (ii) the date of termination of service as a non-
      employee Director.  If an optionee ceases to be a Director for
      any other reason, the unvested portion of options shall vest on
      the date of termination of service and may thereafter be
      exercised in accordance with their terms.  In the event of the
      death of the optionee while he is a non-employee Director of the
      Company or after termination of such service, the vested portion
      any option may be exercised by his personal representatives,
      heirs or legatees at any time prior to the expiration of six
      months from the date of death of the optionee, but in no event
      later than the date of expiration of the option.

            (h)   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  If the
      Common Stock should, as a result of a stock split or stock
      divided, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change
      in the capital structure of the company or exchange of Common
      Stock for other securities by reclassification or otherwise, be
      increased or decreased or changed into, or exchanged for, a
      different number or kind of shares of other securities of the
      Company, or any other corporation, then the number of shares
      covered by options, the number and kind of shares which
      thereafter may be distributed or issued under the Plan and the
      per share option price of options shall be appropriately
      adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the
      Committee may deem equitable to prevent dilution of or increase
      in the rights granted to, or available for, optionees.

            (i)   Who May Exercise.  No option shall be assignable or
      transferable by the optionee except by will or by the laws of
      descent and distribution; and, during the lifetime of an
      optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by him.

            (j)   Optionee's Agreement.  If, in the opinion of counsel
      for the Company, such action is necessary or desirable, no
      option shall be granted to any optionee unless at such time such
      optionee represents and warrants that the stock will be acquired
      for investment only and not for purposes of resale or
      distribution and makes such further representation and


                                      22
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

      warranties as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel to
      the Company with regard to holding and resale of the stock.  If
      at the time of the exercise of any option, in the opinion of
      counsel for the Company, it is necessary or desirable, in order
      to comply with any applicable laws or regulations relating to
      the sale of securities, that the optionee shall represent and
      warrant that he is purchasing the shares that are subject to the
      option for investment and not with any present intention to
      resell or distribute the same or make other and further
      representations and warranties with regard to the holding and
      resale of the shares, the optionee, upon the request of the
      Committee, will execute and deliver to the Company an agreement
      or affidavit to such effect.  All certificates issued pursuant
      to the exercise of any option shall be marked with a restrictive
      legend, if such marking, in the opinion of counsel to the
      Company, is necessary or desirable.

            (k)   Rights as a Stockholder.  An optionee shall have no
      rights as a stockholder with respect to shares covered by his
      option until the date of the issuance of the shares to him and
      only after such shares are fully paid.  Unless specified in
      Section 6(h), no adjustment will be made for dividends or other
      rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such
      issuance.

            (l)   Vesting.  The right to purchase 20% of the shares of
      Common Stock covered by an option shall vest on the date of
      grant.  An additional 20% of the shares of Common Stock covered
      by an option shall vest on the February 1st next following the
      date of grant and on each succeeding February 1st until fully
      vested, provided that the optionee must be a non-employee
      Director of the Company on a February 1st in order for options
      to vest on such February 1st.

            (m)   Miscellaneous Provisions.  The Stock Option
      Agreements authorized under the Plan shall contain such other
      provisions, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the
      exercise of the option as the Committee shall deem advisable.

      7.    Effective Date and Termination of Plan.

      (a)   The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board
of Directors of the Company, provided the Plan is approved by the
holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting on the
matter at an annual or special meeting of stockholders held within
twelve months of adoption by the Board of Directors.

      (b)   The Plan, with respect to the granting of options, shall
terminate at midnight on February 4, 1998, but the Board of Directors
may terminate the Plan at any time prior to said time and date.  Such
termination of the Plan by the Board of Directors shall not alter or
impair any of the rights or obligations under any option theretofore
granted under the Plan unless the affected optionee shall so consent.

      8.    Fractional Shares.  If any provision of this Plan or a
Stock Option Agreement would create a right to acquire a fractional
share, such fractional share shall be disregarded.

      9.  Successor Corporation.  The obligations of the Company under
the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or
organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and
business of the Company and shall continue to be binding upon the
Company notwithstanding any change in ownership of the Company.  The
Company agrees that it will make appropriate provision for the
preservation of optionees' rights under the Plan in any agreement or
plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such transfer of
assets or ownership.

      10.  Non-Alienation of Benefits.  Except insofar as applicable
law may otherwise require, (i) no options, rights or interest of
optionees or Common Stock deliverable to any optionee at any time
under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation by
anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge,
attachment, charge of encumbrance of any kind, and any attempt to so
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge or otherwise
encumber any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable,
shall be void; and (ii), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Plan shall in no manner be liable for, or subject to, claims, liens,
attachments or other like proceedings or the debts, liabilities,
contracts, engagements, or torts of any optionee.  Nothing in this
Section 10 shall prevent a optionee's rights and interests under the
Plan from being transferred by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as
defined by the Code or ERISA; provided, however, that no transfer by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to
bind the Company unless the Committee or its designee shall have been
furnished before or after the death of such optionee with a copy of
such will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary
to establish the validity of the transfer.

      11.  Listing and Qualification of Shares.  The Company, in its
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of shares of Common
Stock until completion of any stock exchange listing, or other
qualification or registration of such shares under any state or
federal law, rule or regulation, as the Company may consider
appropriate, and may require any optionee to furnish such information
as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or
delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations.

      12.  Taxes.  The Company may make such provisions and take such
steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of
all federal, state, local and other taxes required by law to be
withheld with respect to options under the Plan, including, but not
limited to, (i) deducting the amount required to be withheld from any
amount then or thereafter payable to an optionee, beneficiary or legal
representative, (ii) requiring an optionee , beneficiary or legal
representative to pay to the Company the amount required to be
withheld as a condition of releasing shares, or (iii) complying with
applicable provisions of any broker-directed cashless exercise/resale


                                      24

<PAGE>

procedure adopted by the Company pursuant to Section 6(f).  If, in the
exercise of an Option, the Company requires payment pursuant to (ii),
then, to the extent permitted by the Company in its discretion,
payment may be made in any medium provided for in subsection (d) of
Section 6.

      13.  No Liability of Directors.  No member of the Board or the
Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or
other instrument executed by such member on his behalf in his capacity
as a member of the Board or Committee, nor for any mistake of judgment
made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
each employee, officer and Director of the Company, to whom any duty
or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan
may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including
counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a
claim with the approval of the Board) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan to the fullest extent
permitted or required by the Company's governing instruments and, in
addition, to the fullest extent of any applicable insurance policy
purchased by the Company.

      14.  Amendment.  This Plan may be amended by the Board from time
to time to the extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate;
provided, however, no such amendment shall be made absent the approval
of the stockholders of the Company:  (1) if stockholder approval of
such amendment is required for continued compliance with Rule 16b-3 of
the Securities Exchange Act, or (2) if stockholder approval of such
amendment is required by any other applicable laws or regulations or
by the rules of the American Stock Exchange as long as the Common
Stock is listed for trading on such Exchange.  The Committee also may
suspend the granting of options under this Plan at any time; provided,
however, the Company shall not have the right initially to modify,
amend or cancel any option granted before such suspension unless (1)
the optionee consents in writing to such modification, amendment or
cancellation or (2) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or a transaction described in Section 6(h) of this Plan.

      15.  Captions.  The captions preceding the sections of the Plan
have been inserted solely as a matter of convenience and shall not, in
any manner, define or limit the scope or intent of any provisions of
the Plan.

      16.  Governing Law.  The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of Georgia, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof.

      17.  Expenses.  All expenses of administering the Plan shall be
borne by the Company.

subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act), subject to any
review, approval, or notification required by the Committee or as
may otherwise be required by law.

     4.  Participation.  Participants in the Plan shall be
limited to those officers and employees of the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries who have been selected to participate in the
Plan by the Committee acting in its absolute discretion.

     5.  Maximum Number of Shares Subject to Options.  Subject to
the provisions of Section 9, there shall be 1,300,000 shares of
Stock reserved for use under this Plan, and such shares of Stock
shall be reserved to the extent that the Committee and the Board
deems appropriate from authorized but unissued shares of Stock or
from shares of Stock which have been reacquired by the
Corporation.  Any shares of Stock subject to any Option which
remain after the cancellation, expiration, exchange or forfeiture
of such Option thereafter shall again become available for use
under this Plan.  All authorized and unissued shares issued upon
exercise of Options under the Plan shall be fully paid and
nonassessable shares.

     6.  Grant of Options.  The Committee, acting in its absolute
discretion, shall have the right to grant Options to Participants
under this Plan from time to time; provided, however, that the
maximum number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of
Options shall not exceed 1,300,000, subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 9.  No Option shall be granted after December
31, 1996.  The maximum number of Options that are granted to any
Participant shall not exceed 150,000, subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 9.

     7.  Terms and Conditions of Options.  Options granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by Stock Option
Agreements in such form as the Committee from time to time shall
approve and including such terms and conditions not inconsistent
with the provisions set forth in the Plan as the Committee may
determine; provided, that such Stock Option Agreements and the
Options granted shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

          (a)  Employment.  Each Participant shall agree to
     remain in the employ of and to render services to the
     Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof for such period as the
     Committee may require in the Stock Option Agreement;
     provided, however, that such agreement shall not impose upon
     the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof any obligation to
     retain the Participant in its employ for any period.

          (b)  Number of Shares.  Each Stock Option Agreement
     shall state the total number of shares of Stock to which it
     pertains.

          (c)  Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share for
     Options shall be Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date
     of grant, subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section
     9.

          (d)  Medium and Time of Payment.  The exercise price
     shall be payable upon the exercise of the Option, or as


                                      28
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

     provided in Section 7(e) if the Corporation adopts a
     broker-directed cashless exercise/resale procedure, in each
     case in an amount equal to the number of shares then being
     purchased times the per share exercise price.  Payment shall
     be in cash; except that the Corporation, in its sole
     discretion, may permit payment by delivery to the
     Corporation of a certificate or certificates for shares of
     Stock duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation with
     signature guaranteed by a member firm of the New York Stock
     Exchange or by a national banking association.  In the event
     of any payment by delivery of shares of Stock, such shares
     shall be valued on the basis of their Fair Market Value
     determined as of the day prior to the date of delivery.  If
     payment is made by delivery of shares of Stock, the value of
     such Stock may not exceed the total exercise price payment;
     but the preceding clause shall not prevent delivery of a
     stock certificate for a number of shares having a greater
     value, if the number of shares to be applied to payment of
     the exercise price is designated by the Participant and the
     Participant requests that a certificate for the remainder
     shares be delivered to the Participant.

          In addition to the payment of the purchase price of the
     shares of Stock then being purchased, a Participant shall
     also, pursuant to Section 15, pay to the Corporation or
     otherwise provide for payment of an amount equal to the
     amount, if any, which the Corporation at the time of
     exercise is required to withhold under the income tax
     withholding provisions of the Code and other applicable
     income tax laws.

          (e)  Method of Exercise.  All Options shall be
     exercised (i) by written notice directed to the Secretary of
     the Corporation at its principal place of business,
     accompanied by payment made in accordance with the foregoing
     subsection (d) of the option exercise price for the number
     of shares specified in the notice of exercise and by any
     documents required by Section 13, or (ii) by complying with
     the exercise and other provisions of any broker-directed
     cashless exercise/resale procedure adopted by the
     Corporation and approved by the Committee, and by delivery
     of any documents required by Section 13.  The Corporation
     shall make delivery of such shares within a reasonable
     period of time or in accordance with applicable provisions
     of any such broker-directed cashless exercise/resale
     procedure; provided, however, that if any law or regulation
     requires the Corporation to take any action (including but
     not limited to the filing of a registration statement under
     the Securities Act of 1933 and causing such registration
     statement to become effective) with respect to the shares
     specified in such notice before their issuance, then the
     date of delivery of such shares shall be extended for the
     period necessary to take such action.

          (f)  Term of Options.  Except as otherwise specifically
     provided in the Plan, the terms of all Options shall
     commence on the date of grant and shall expire ten years
     after the date of grant.

          (g)  Exercise of Options.  Options are exercisable only
     to the extent they are vested as provided in Section 8.
     After Options have vested in accordance with Section 8, such
     Options are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part
     during their terms if the Participant is at the time of
     exercise employed by the Company or a Subsidiary.  If a
     Participant's employment with the Corporation or any
     Subsidiary is terminated for any reason other than death or
     disability, the vested portion of each Option held by such
     Participant on the date of such termination may be exercised
     for 90 days following the date of termination of employment
     (but not after expiration of the term of the option).  In
     the event of the death or Disability of a Participant, the
     vested portion of each Option held by such Participant on
     the date of such event may be exercised within twelve months
     of the date of such event (but not after the expiration of
     the term of the option).

          In the event of the death of a Participant, the vested
     portion of each Option previously held by such Participant
     may be exercised within the time set forth above by the
     executor, other legal representative or, if none, the heir
     or legatee of such Participant.

          (h)  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  Upon
     a change in capitalization pursuant to Section 9, the number
     of shares covered by an Option and the per share option
     exercise price shall be adjusted in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 9.

          (i)  Transferability.  No Option shall be assignable or
     transferable by the Participant except by will or by the
     laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
     domestic relations order as defined by the Code or ERISA.
     The designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a
     transfer; and, during the lifetime of a Participant, all
     Options held by such Participant shall be exercisable only
     by him or his lawful representative in the event of his
     incapacity.

          (j)  Rights as a Stockholder.  A Participant shall have
     no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares covered by
     his Option until the date of the issuance of the shares to
     him and only after such shares are fully paid.  Unless
     specified in Section 9, no adjustment will be made for
     dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
     to the date of such issuance.

          (k)  Miscellaneous Provisions.  The Stock Option
     Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other
     provisions not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as
     the Committee shall deem advisable.

                                      30
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

     8.   Vesting.  Options granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable only to the extent such Options have become vested
pursuant to this Section 8.  An Option shall vest at the rate of
33-1/3% of the shares covered by the Option on each of the first
three anniversary dates of the grant of the Option if the
Participant is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such
dates.

     9.  Change in Capitalization.  If the Stock should, as a
result of a stock split or stock dividend, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the
Corporation or exchange of Stock for other securities by
reclassification or otherwise, be increased or decreased or
changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
shares or other securities of the Corporation, or any other
corporation, then the number of shares covered by Options, the
number and kind of shares which thereafter may be distributed or
issued under the Plan and the per share option price of Options
shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in
such manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent
dilution of or increase in the rights granted to, or available
for, Participants.

     10.  Fractional Shares.  In the event that any provision of
this Plan or a Stock Option Agreement would create a right to
acquire a fractional share of Stock, such fractional share shall
be disregarded.

     11.  Successor Corporation.  If the Company is merged or
consolidated with another corporation or other legal entity and
the Company is not the surviving corporation or legal entity, or
in the event all or substantially all of the property or common
stock of the Company is acquired by another corporation or legal
entity, or in case of a dissolution, reorganization or
liquidation of the Company, the Board of Directors of the
Company, or the board of directors or governing body of any
corporation or other legal entity assuming the obligations of the
Company hereunder, shall either: (i) make appropriate provision
for the preservation of Participants' rights under the Plan in
any agreement or plan it may enter into or adopt to effect any of
the foregoing transactions; or (ii) upon written notice to each
Participant, provide that all Options, whether or not vested, may
be exercised within thirty days of the date of such notice and if
not so exercised, shall be terminated.

     12.  Non-Alienation of Benefits.  Except insofar as
applicable law may otherwise require, (i) no Options, rights or
interest of Participants or Stock deliverable to any Participant
at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to
alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment,
bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge of encumbrance of any
kind, and any attempt to so alienate, sell, transfer, assign,
pledge, attach, charge or otherwise encumber any such amount,
whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void; and (ii),
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Plan shall in no
manner be liable for, or subject to, claims, liens, attachments


                                      31
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

or other like proceedings or the debts, liabilities, contracts,
engagements, or torts of any Participant or beneficiary.  Nothing
in this Section 12 shall prevent a Participant's rights and
interests under the Plan from being transferred by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order as defined by the Code or ERISA;
provided, however, that no transfer by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the
Corporation unless the Committee or its designee shall have been
furnished before or after the death of such Participant with a
copy of such will or such other evidence as the Committee may
deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

     13.  Listing and Qualification of Shares.  The Corporation,
in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of
shares of Stock until completion of any stock exchange listing,
or other qualification or registration of such shares under any
state or federal law, rule or regulation, as the Corporation may
consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make
such representations, including, but not limited to, a written
representation that the shares are to be acquired for investment
and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof,
and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.  The
Corporation may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such representation
and to restrict transfer in the absence of compliance with
applicable federal or state securities laws.

     14.  No Claim or Right Under the Plan.  No employee of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary shall at any time have the right to
be selected as a Participant in the Plan nor, having been
selected as a Participant and granted an Option, to be granted
any additional Option.  Neither the action of the Corporation in
establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by it or by the Board
or the Committee thereunder, nor any provision of the Plan, nor
participation in the Plan, shall be construed to give, and does
not give, to any person the right to be retained in the employ of
the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or interfere in any way with
the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to discharge or
terminate any person at any time without regard to the effect
such discharge or termination may have upon such person's rights,
if any, under the Plan.

     15.  Taxes.  The Corporation may make such provisions and
take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the
withholding of all federal, state, local and other taxes required
by law to be withheld with respect to Options under the Plan,
including, but not limited to, (i) deducting the amount required
to be withheld from salary or any other amount then or thereafter
payable to a Participant, beneficiary or legal representative,
(ii) requiring a Participant, beneficiary or legal representative
to pay to the Corporation the amount required to be withheld as a
condition of releasing the Stock, or (iii) complying with
applicable provisions of any broker-directed cashless


                                      32

<PAGE>

exercise/resale procedure adopted by the Corporation pursuant to
Section 7(e).

     16.  No Liability of Directors.  No member of the Board or
Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or
other instrument executed by such member on his behalf in his
capacity as a member of the Board or Committee, nor for any
mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Corporation shall
indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer and Director
of the Corporation, to whom any duty or power relating to the
administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or
delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees)
or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim
with the approval of the Board) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan to the fullest extent
permitted or required by the Corporation's governing instruments
and, in addition, to the fullest extent of any applicable
insurance policy purchased by the Corporation.

     17.  Other Plans.  Nothing contained in the Plan is intended
to amend, modify or rescind any previously approved compensation
plans or programs entered into by the Corporation or its
Subsidiaries.  The Plan shall be construed to be in addition to
any and all such plans or programs.  No award of Options under
the Plan shall be construed as compensation under any other
executive compensation or employee benefit plan of the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, except as specifically
provided in any such plan or as otherwise provided by the
Committee.  The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be
construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority
of the Board to adopt such additional compensation or incentive
arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.

     18.  Amendment or Termination.  This Plan may be amended by
the Board from time to time to the extent that the Board deems
necessary or appropriate; provided, however, no such amendment
shall be made absent the approval of the stockholders of the
Corporation:  (1) if stockholder approval of such amendment is
required for continued compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange
Act, or (2) if stockholder approval of such amendment is required
by any other applicable laws or regulations or by the rules of
any stock exchange as long as the Stock is listed for trading on
such exchange.  The Committee also may suspend the granting of
Options under this Plan at any time and may terminate this Plan
at any time; provided, however, the Corporation shall not have
the right to modify, amend or cancel any Option granted before
such suspension or termination unless (1) the Participant
consents in writing to such modification, amendment or
cancellation or (2) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the
Corporation or a transaction described in Section 11 of this
Plan.

     19.  Captions.  The captions preceding the sections of the
Plan have been inserted solely as a matter of convenience and
shall not, in any manner, define or limit the scope or intent of
any provisions of the Plan.

shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Georgia, without reference to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.

                    EXECUTIVE BENEFIT PLAN



                          Plan Year

The  Plan Year for Executive Benefits is January 1 to December
31, and benefit levels will be based upon salary.  Changes  in
benefit  selections  will  be  permitted  annually, during the
enrollment period.

                        FLEX Benefits

Participants may choose among tax-sheltered options to  create
a benefit package of the greatest value.

The amount of the FLEX Allowance  is  equal  to  11%  of  base
salary as of January 1.

It is important to  note  that  to  preserve  the  tax-favored
status  of  benefits  within  the Execu-FLEX Benefit Plan, the
FLEX Allowance cannot be distributed  in  cash  under  current
tax law.

The  calculations  of  benefit  costs  are  estimated.   Final
calculations  will be shown on Summary of Elections which will
be sent  to  participants  approximately  90  days  after  the
enrollment period.

           Individual Long-Term Disability Coverage

Overview.  Using tax-sheltered FLEX dollars, a participant can
purchase  a  personal   disability   insurance   policy   with
provisions  designed  especially  for the needs of executives,
including a much greater benefit and more  liberal  definition
of disability.

Amount of benefit. Up to the carrier maximum.

Term  of  benefit.  Benefits  are  paid until age 65, unless a
participant becomes disabled after age 61:

      Total Disability Beginning         Benefit Period

             At age 62                     42 months
             At age 63                     36 months
             At age 64                     30 months
             At age 65                     24 months
             At age 66                     21 months
             At age 67                     18 months
             At age 68                     15 months
         At age 69 or older                12 months



                                      35
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

Waiting  period.  Benefits  commence  after  a 180-day waiting
period.

Definition  of  disability. Inability to perform the duties of
the participant's occupation.

Benefit  offsets.  Benefits are not reduced by Social Security
or any other disability income payments.

Partial  disability.  If partially disabled, benefits are paid
for loss of earnings to age 65. All  income  earned  prior  to
disability  will be considered when determining the percentage
of income which is lost.

Policy  renewal.  The  policy is non-cancelable and guaranteed
renewable.

Portability.  Participants own the disability insurance policy
and may continue it if the participants leave Charter.

Benefit  increases.  Coverage will increase automatically each
year for  five  years  regardless  of  health  condition.  The
annual  increase  will  match  actual  percentage increases in
income not to exceed  15%,  to  a  maximum  total  benefit  of
$15,000 per month.

Optional provisions. The following coverages may be  added  to
the  individual  long-term  disability policy at an additional
charge:

      -    Inflation adjustment

      -    Lifetime accident

      -    Premium refund

Group benefit is discontinued.

Tax  status.  Premiums  for  this  benefit are charged against
tax-sheltered FLEX dollars, and any benefits received will  be
subject to income tax.

However, a participant may pay some or  all  of  the  premiums
with  after-tax dollars to receive a tax-free benefit. The IRS
considers the proportion of premiums contributed after-tax  to
the   total   of  premiums  paid  during  the  prior  year  in
determining  the  percentage  of  benefit   sheltered;   i.e.,
executive  pays  60%  of premium via payroll deduction, 60% of
benefits received are tax free.

Evidence  of insurability. FLEX disability coverage is subject
to medical evidence of insurability, and a physical exam  will
be  scheduled  with a health care professional selected by the
insurance company.




                                      36
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

Integration  of  coverage.  The  individual  disability policy
will  integrate  with  any  existing   individual   disability
policies.

Benefit charge. The FLEX account  will  be  charged  with  the
annual  cost  of  the  coverage selected. The annual cost will
increase at approximately the same percentage amount per  year
for the first five years as coverage automatically increases.

                  Supplemental Survivor Plan

Overview.  A  participant  may  allocate  a  portion  of  FLEX
benefit  dollars  to  the  Supplemental  Survivor  Plan,   for
additional    life    insurance   coverage   both   pre-   and
post-retirement. Charter will assist with the  purchase  of  a
permanent   insurance  policy  by  advancing  premiums  for  a
ten-year  period.  This  benefit  option  is  in  addition  to
Charter-provided   Benefits   Plus   Plan  and  the  Executive
Survivor insurance.

Amount  of  benefit.  A  participant  may elect life insurance
coverage of up to four times plan entry salary over and  above
the  Basic and Executive survivor benefits. Insurance coverage
is selected in whole multiples of salary.

Benefit  increases.  The  benefit  will not increase each year
with compensation. Coverage will increase  or  decrease  based
upon   the  financial  performance  of  the  investment  funds
selected.

Type   of  insurance.  This  benefit  is  provided  through  a
specially-selected variable universal life insurance policy.

Investment  choices. The participant directs the investment of
the premium deposits among  portfolios  within  the  insurance
policy  plus  a  Real  Property Account and fixed-rate option.
The participant may move the money within  the  portfolios  up
to four times per year without charge.

Charter sponsorship. To  assist  with  the  purchase  of  this
benefit,  Charter  will  deposit premiums, as an advance, into
the life insurance contract for ten years. Upon retirement  or
at  the  end  of  15  years, whichever is later, funds will be
withdrawn and/or borrowed from the cash value  of  the  policy
to  repay  Charter's  advances.   The  participant will retain
ownership of the policy.

Post-Retirement  Death Benefit. The amount and duration of the
policy's post-retirement death benefit depend upon the  amount
of  cash  value retained in the policy after Charter withdraws
its premium advances.

Early  policy  distribution.   A  participant  may  request an
early release of the policy when the  cash  value  equals  the
cumulative premium advances.



                                      37
<PAGE>


<PAGE>

Split  Dollar  insurance. The insurance is provided on a Split
Dollar basis. In this case, the participant will  legally  own
the   policy.  Cash  accumulation  value  equal  to  Charter's
deposits will be legally assigned to Charter and will be  paid
either  from  proceeds  at  death,  or  from  cash values upon
retirement (or at the end of 15 years, if later).

Termination  of  employment.  The Supplemental Survivor policy
is portable, and the participant  may  elect  to  continue  it
upon  leaving Charter by repaying Charter its premium advances
and making future premium payments.

After-tax  contributions.  Based on IRS rules, the participant
will make after-tax contributions through  payroll  deductions
in  equal  installments.  By  using  Split  Dollar, the lowest
possible  rates  for  valuing  this  benefit  are  used   when
calculating payments.

Evidence of insurability. Supplemental  Survivor  coverage  is
subject to medical evidence of insurability.

Benefit  charge.  The  charge  to   the   tax-sheltered   FLEX
Allowance  is  for the Time Value of Money (TVM) multiplied by
Charter's cumulative outstanding advances. The current TVM  is
3%.

                   Spouse Survivor Benefits

Overview.  The  participant  may  allocate  a  portion  of the
participant's  tax-sheltered  FLEX  Allowance  to  the  Spouse
Survivor  Benefit  to  purchase life insurance coverage on the
participant's spouse.

Amount  of  benefit.  The participant may elect either $50,000
or $100,000 of insurance coverage.

Charter  sponsorship.  To  assist  with  the  purchase of this
benefit, Charter will deposit premiums, as  an  advance,  into
the life insurance contract for ten years.

Benefit increases. The amount of benefit does not change  over
time.

Type  of  insurance.  This  benefit  is  provided  through   a
specially selected universal life insurance policy.

Split Dollar insurance. The insurance is provided on  a  Split
Dollar  basis.  The  participant legally owns the policy. Cash
accumulation value equal to Charter deposits will be  assigned
to  Charter  and will be paid either from proceeds at death or
from cash values at the end of 12 years.

Policy  distribution.  At  the  end  of  the twelfth year, the
participant will withdraw and/or borrow funds  from  the  cash
value of the policy to repay Charter's advances.

Termination  of  employment. A spouse's policy is portable. If
a participant leaves Charter before the end  of  12  years,  a
participant  may  continue  the policy by repaying Charter for
its premium advances and by personally making  future  premium
payments.

After-tax contributions. Based on  IRS  rules,  a  participant
will  make  after-tax contributions through payroll deductions
in equal installments.  By  using  Split  Dollar,  the  lowest
possible   rates  for  valuing  this  benefit  are  used  when
calculating payments.

Evidence  of  insurability.  The  Spouse  Survivor  Benefit is
subject to medical evidence of insurability.

Benefit  charge.  The charge to a tax-sheltered FLEX Allowance
is for the Time Value of Money (TVM) multiplied  by  Charter's
cumulative outstanding advances. The current TVM is 3%.

    Executive Retirement Benefits - Annual Incentive Match

Overview.  As  of  January  1, 1994 each Annual Incentive plan
award will be matched by a 33 1/3% contribution by Charter.

Tax  status.  Credits  to and earnings on the Annual Incentive
match  are  tax-sheltered  until  the  vesting   date.    Upon
vesting,  a  benefit  equal  to  the  account  balance will be
distributed, and the participant will owe income taxes on  the
full amount.

Vesting. A participant may elect a vesting date  from  one  of
three options.

     -    Two years

     -    Mid-term  date  (more  than  two years but less than
          specified retirement date)

     -    Specified retirement date

Once a participant selects a mid-term  date  and/or  specified
retirement,  all  future deposits will be limited to two years
or the previously-selected mid-term and retirement dates.  One
year  prior  to  a  selected mid-term date, a participant will
have the opportunity to elect a new mid-term vesting date.

The vesting date will be the earliest of the following dates:

     -    Date elected

     -    Death

     -    Termination as a result of disability

     -    Involuntary termination without cause

Or in the case of any other termination,  whether  voluntary  or
terminated with cause:

     -    Twenty-four months following  any  other  termination,
          provided  the  participant  fulfills  the terms of the
          noncompetition agreement

Substantial  risk  of  forfeiture. The Annual Incentive Match is
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in  the  form  of  a
non-competition   agreement.   The   non-competition   agreement
stipulates that the participant will not work for  a  competitor
in  the  same or similar job duties for a period of 24 months as
described in the agreement.

Employer   insolvency.   If   Charter   becomes  insolvent,  the
participant will be an  unsecured  creditor  and  will  have  no
preferred  claim  to  any  assets.  However,  a special trust is
being implemented to safeguard  assets  informally  funding  the
Annual  Incentive  Match  benefits  from any other contingencies
such as change in control of Charter.

Method  of  investment.  A  participant  may  elect from several
investment funds within  a  mutual  fund  family.  The  interest
credited  will  be  equal  the  total investment returns on your
selected  funds,  less  any  applicable  loads  and  charges  as
described in the fund(s) prospectus.

Timing of deposits. Deposits will be made  annually  in  January
based on the previous year's incentive award.

    FLEX Retirement Benefits - Capital Accumulation Account

Overview.  The  Capital  Accumulation Account is a tax-sheltered
opportunity to build net worth on a medium- or long-term  basis.
It  is  designed  to  be  an  effective  means  of supplementing
retirement income from other sources.

This  account is subject to the same elective vesting rules, the
Substantial  Risk  of  Forfeiture,  and  the  risk  of  Employer
insolvency  as  the  Annual  Incentive  Match. A participant may
elect the same  or  a  different  vesting  date  for  a  Capital
Accumulation Account.

Timing of credits. FLEX Fund dollars allocated  to  the  Capital
Accumulation Account will be credited annually in April 1994.

Benefit charge. Tax-sheltered FLEX Allowance  dollars  are  used
to pay for this benefit should the participant elect it.
