Item 1.  Business

General

         Magellan Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") (formerly Charter
Medical Corporation) ,  which was incorporated in 1969, is a behavioral
healthcare company. As of September 30, 1995, the Company operated 98 acute 
care psychiatric  hospitals  and four  residential  treatment centers with an 
aggregate  capacity of 8,939 licensed beds.  Ninety-three of the Company's 
hospitals operate partial  hospitalization  programs,  and the Company operates
144 outpatient centers, staffed by mental health professionals. In this report,
the Company uses the term  "psychiatric  hospitals" or  "hospitals"  to refer 
to the 98 facilities licensed as acute care psychiatric  hospitals and the four
facilities  licensed  as  residential  treatment  centers.  A  residential 
treatment  center offers less intensive and longer stay services than acute 
care psychiatric hospitals.

         The  Company's  business  strategy  is to  develop  and  operate  fully
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 fully 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, residential
treatment programs and other less intensive behavioral healthcare 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.

Recent Developments

         Green Spring Health Services Acquisition

         On December 13, 1995, the Company acquired a 51% ownership  interest in
Green Spring Health  Services,  Inc. ("Green  Spring") for  approximately  $73.2
million  in cash  and  Common  Stock  and the  contribution  of  Group  Practice
Affiliates  ("GPA"),  a  wholly-owned Magellan   subsidiary,   which  became  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Green  Spring.  GPA was organized by the Company for
the purpose of  acquiring  and managing  professional  group  practices  and has
acquired five group  practices  through  September  30, 1995.  Green Spring is a
leading  provider of managed  behavioral  healthcare  services,  which  includes
utilization management, care management and employee assistance programs through
a 50-state provider network for approximately 12 million people nationwide.

         The  Green  Spring  acquisition  creates  the  first  fully  integrated
national  behavioral  healthcare  system and gives the Company the capability to
provide case management and delivery services to large private organizations and
a public sector marketplace seeking  increased  privatization of services.  The
Company changed its name to Magellan Health Services,  Inc. on December 21, 1995
to reflect  the  broader  range of services it expects to provide as a result of
the Green Spring acquisition.

         The Company will operate its integrated national behavioral  healthcare
system through three principal subsidiaries beginning in fiscal 1996 engaging in
(i) the  provider  business,  (ii) the managed  care  business and (iii) the
public sector business.  Each principal subsidiary will operate autonomously and
enter into contractual arrangements with the other subsidiaries as necessary.

         The  minority  shareholders  of  Green  Spring  consist  of  four  Blue
Cross/Blue  Shield  organizations  (the "Blues") that are key customers of Green
Spring. In addition, two other Blues organizations that formerly owned a portion
of Green  Spring will  continue  as  customers  of Green  Spring.  The  minority
shareholders of Green Spring will have the option, under certain  circumstances,
to exchange their ownership interests ("exchange option") in Green Spring for


<PAGE>



approximately  3.6 million  shares of Magellan Common Stock or $81.8  million in
subordinated  notes.  The  Company  may elect to pay cash in lieu of issuing the
subordinated notes. The exchange option expires December 13, 1998.

         On December 20, 1995, the Company  acquired an additional 10% ownership
interest in Green Spring for approximately  $16.7 million in cash as a result of
an exchange  option  exercised by certain of the minority  shareholders of Green
Spring.  The Company has a 61% ownership  interest in Green Spring subsequent to
the exercise of the aforementioned exchange option.

         Fiscal 1994 and Prior Developments

NME Acquisition

         During  fiscal  1994,  the  Company  agreed to acquire  40  psychiatric
hospitals (the "Acquired  Hospitals")  from National Medical  Enterprises,  Inc.
("NME").  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 "Hospital  Acquisition".)  The Acquired Hospitals had an aggregate capacity
of 2,873  licensed beds when  acquired and were located in 19 states.  For their
fiscal  year ended May 31,  1994,  the  Acquired  Hospitals  had net  revenue of
approximately $315.1 million.

         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. During
the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company received approximately $3.5 
million from NME as a partial  payment  related to the settlement of the 
working capital portion of the purchase price. The Company accounted for the 
Hospital Acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.

Debt Refinancing

         In  order  to  finance  the  Hospital   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 aggregate committed amount of $300 million (the "Revolving Credit
Agreement")  and issued  $375  million of 11 1/4%  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.




<PAGE>



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 in operation on September 30, 1995
are located in well-populated  urban and suburban locations in 32 states and two
foreign countries.  Five of the Company's  hospitals are affiliated with medical
schools for residency and other post-graduate teaching programs.

         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
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 referrals
from former patients, local marketplace advertising,  managed care organizations
and physician referrals.  Professional  relationships are an important aspect of
the Company's ongoing business. Management believes 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 is directed at increasing
general  awareness  of mental  health and  addictive  disease  and the  services
offered by the Company's hospitals.

Seasonality

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

Related Businesses

         As part of the Company's business strategy during the past three fiscal
years,  the Company (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) acquired a company that provides specialized health services
in mentor homes.  To date,  the activities of these  subsidiaries  have not been
material to the Company.

Chesapeake, VA            Outpatient psychiatric hospital     December 1994
Norfolk, VA               65-bed psychiatric hospital         December 1994
Virginia Beach, VA        61-bed psychiatric hospital         December 1994
</TABLE>

         In  addition,  the  Company  leases,  with  options to  purchase by the
lessees, three facilities which it previously operated prior to fiscal 1991. The
Company  is also  attempting  to sell or  lease  11  other  previously  operated
hospitals  and related  medical  office  buildings 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.  The Company
has entered into joint venture  arrangements with other healthcare  providers in
certain markets to promote more efficiency in the local delivery system.

         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  acquisition  of Green
Spring creates  opportunities to increase its revenues through managed
care  contracts  utilizing 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 44 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 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;  and (v) a trend  toward  limiting
employee  health  benefits,  such as reductions in annual and lifetime limits on
mental health  coverage.  In response to these  conditions,  the Company has (i)
strengthened  controls to reduce costs and capital  expenditures,  (ii) reviewed
its portfolio of hospitals and sold,  closed or leased hospitals or consolidated
operations  in  certain  locations,   (iii)  developed  strategies  to  increase
outpatient services and partial hospitalization  programs to meet the demands of
the  marketplace,  and (iv)  created a  national,  fully  integrated  behavioral
healthcare  system  upon  acquiring  Green  Spring  in  December  1995,  thereby
improving  the  Company's  ability to obtain  contracts  with large  private and
public payors.

Governmental Budgetary Constraints and Healthcare Reform

         In the  1995  session  of the  United  States  Congress,  the  focus of
healthcare  legislation  has been on  budgetary  and related  funding  mechanism
issues.  A number of reports,  including  the 1995 Annual Report of the Board of
Trustees of the Federal  Hospital  Insurance  Program  (Medicare) have projected
that the Medicare "trust fund" is likely to become insolvent by the year 2002 if
the current growth rate of approximately 10% per annum in Medicare  expenditures
continues.  Similarly, federal and state expenditures under the Medicaid program
are projected to increase  significantly  during the same seven-year  period. In
response to these projected expenditure  increases,  and as part of an effort to
balance the federal  budget,  both the Congress  and the Clinton  Administration
have made  proposals  to reduce the rate of increase in  projected  Medicare and
Medicaid expenditures and to change funding mechanisms and other aspects of both
programs.  Congress has passed legislation that would reduce projected 
expenditure  increases  substantially and would make significant  changes in the
Medicare  and the  Medicaid  programs.  The Clinton Administration  has 
proposed  alternate  measures to reduce, to a lesser extent, projected  
increases in Medicare and  Medicaid  expenditures.  As of the date of this 
filing, neither proposal has become law. 

         The  Medicare  legislation  that  has  been  adopted  by Congress 
would, with some  differences,  reduce projected expenditure  increases  by a
variety of means,  including  reduced  payments  to providers (including the 
Company),  increased beneficiary premiums for physician and  certain  other   
services,   and  creation  of   incentives   for  Medicare beneficiaries  to 
enroll in managed  care plans or to accept  Medicare  coverage with a 
substantially  increased deductible,  with the savings being available to the 
beneficiaries to pay non-covered  expenses.  Changes in the Medicaid program 
would  reduce the number and  extent of federal  mandates  concerning  how state
Medicaid  programs operate  (including levels of benefits provided and levels of
payments to  providers)  and would change the funding  mechanism  from a sharing
formula between the federal government and a state to "block grant" funding. The
Company cannot predict the effect of any such  legislation,  if adopted,  on its
operations;  but the Company  anticipates  that,  although  overall Medicare and
Medicaid  funding  may be reduced  from  projected  levels,  the changes in such
programs may provide  opportunities to the Company to obtain increased  Medicare
and Medicaid  business through  risk-sharing or partial  risk-sharing  contracts
with managed care plans and state Medicaid programs.

         Although  the  United  States  Congress,  in 1995,  has not  considered
healthcare reform proposals,  the Company  anticipates that numerous  healthcare
reform  proposals will continue to be introduced in future sessions of Congress.
The Company  cannot  predict  whether any such  proposal  will be adopted or the
effect on the Company of any proposal that does become law.
