               NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  The unaudited financial information furnished herein, in the opinion of
    management, reflects all adjustments that are necessary to fairly state
    the financial position of Tenet Healthcare Corporation, its cash flows
    and the results of its operations for the periods indicated. All the
    adjustments affecting net income are of a normal recurring nature.

    The Company presumes that users of this interim financial information
    have read or have access to the Company's audited financial statements
    and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
    Results of Operations for the preceding fiscal year and that the
    adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be
    determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosure
    which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the
    Company's most recent annual report to security holders have been
    omitted. The patient volumes and net operating revenues of the Company's
    domestic general hospitals are subject to seasonal variations caused by
    a number of factors, including but not necessarily limited to, seasonal
    cycles of illness, climate and weather conditions, vacation patterns of
    both hospital patients and admitting physicians and other factors
    relating to the timing of elective hospital procedures. Net income also
    is not necessarily representative of operations for a full year for
    various reasons, including interest rates, acquisitions and disposals of
    facilities and long-term assets, revenue allowances and discount
    fluctuations, the timing of price changes and fluctuations in quarterly
    tax rates. These same considerations apply to all year-to-year
    comparisons.

2.  On March 1, 1995, the Company, in a transaction accounted for a as a
    purchase, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of American
    Medical Holdings, Inc. ("AMH") for $1.5 billion in cash and 33,156,614
    shares of the Company's common stock valued at approximately $488.0
    million. Accordingly, the results of operations of AMH and its
    subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial
    statements of the Company since the date of acquisition.

    The following supplemental pro-forma information for the three months
    ended August 31, 1994 is unaudited and assumes that the merger occurred
    as of the beginning of the period. The amounts reflect pro-forma
    adjustments for interest on new and refinanced debt, depreciation on
    revalued property, plant and equipment, and the amortization of goodwill.

    results of operations of the Company had the transactions and events
    assumed therein occurred on the dates specified, nor are they necessarily
    indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved in the
    future. In addition, such information does not reflect certain cost
    savings that management believes may be realized following the merger.

3.  The Company's net operating revenues consist primarily of net
    patient service revenues, which are based on established billing rates
    less applicable allowances and discounts. These allowances and
    discounts, primarily for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and
    other contractual programs, amounted to $666.4 million and $1,388.0
    million for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1994 and 1995,
    respectively.

4.  During the three-month period ended August 31, 1995, actual costs
    incurred and charged against the company's reserves for discontinued
    operations were approximately $10.3 million. Costs incurred and charged
    against the restructuring reserves established during the last three
    years were approximately $6.4 million. These reserves are included in
    other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities in the
    Company's balance sheets at May 31, 1995 and August 31, 1995.

5.  On August 22, 1995, the Company acquired for approximately $222.6
    million in cash the Mercy+Baptist Medical Center, a not-for-profit
    system of two general hospitals with an aggregate of 759 licensed beds
    located in New Orleans, Louisiana and a related physician practice. On
    September 29, 1995, the Company acquired the Providence Memorial
    Hospital, a not-for-profit general hospital located in El Paso, Texas
    for approximately $80.3 million. Providence is licensed for 471 general
    hospital beds (34 of which may be used as skilled nursing beds) and is
    licensed for 30 additional rehabilitation and sub-acute care beds. These
    acquisitions were financed by borrowings under the Company's revolving
    credit agreement.

6.  On October 11, 1995, the Company sold $500 million of new Senior
    Notes due December 2003. The notes have a coupon of 8 5/8% and were
    priced at 99.666% of par to yield 8.68%. The Company intends to use the
    net proceeds from this offering to repay bank loans under the credit
    agreement.

7.  On September 28, 1995, Vencor, Inc. ("Vencor") acquired the
    Hillhaven Corporation ("Hillhaven") by exchanging 0.935 shares of Vencor
    common stock for each share of Hillhaven common stock. The 8.878,147
    shares of Hillhaven common stock owned by the Company were exchanged for
    8,301,067 shares of Vencor common stock. Whereas the Company had owned
    an approximately 26% voting interest in Hillhaven prior to the merger, it
    now owns an approximately 13% voting interest in Vencor. In addition, Vencor
    paid the Company $91.8 million for its Hillhaven Series C and Series D
    Preferred Stock. The proceeds from the redemption of the preferred stock
    will be applied to reduce outstanding bank debt.

    With respect to its new investment in Vencor, the Company began on
    October 2, 1995 to explore with Vencor possible means by which the
    Company may monetize that investment, including the sale of subordinated
    debt securities of the Company that would be convertible or exchangeable
    into the shares of Vencor common stock owned by the Company. The
    proceeds of such a transaction would be used to repay existing bank
    debt. There can be no assurance, however, that such discussions with
    Vencor will result in any transaction.

8.  On October 3, 1995, the Company sold its 30% interest in the Subang
    Jaya Medical Centre in Malaysia to the Company's Malaysian partner for
    approximately $12.0 million. The proceeds from this transaction were
    applied to reduce outstanding bank debt. The transaction resulted in a
    gain estimated to be approximately $2.5 million, which will be included
    in the results of operations during the Company's quarter ended November
    30, 1995.

9.  On September 22, 1995, the minority shareholders of Australian
    Medical Enterprises Limited ("AME") voted to reject a bid for the
    Company's approximately 52% interest in AME which had been made by
    Parkway Holdings Limited ("Parkway") pursuant to an agreement entered
    into by the Company and Parkway in July 1995. Two other parties have
    since announced bids for all of AME's shares, both at prices exceeding
    Parkway's bid. The Company also has an agreement to sell its 40%
    interest in the Bumrungrad Medical Center in Thailand. The Company
    expects to receive aggregate cash consideration of approximately $82.0
    from the sales of its holdings in Australia and Thailand by November 30,
    1995.

10. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, titled
    "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
    Assets to be Disposed of," effective for fiscal years beginning after
    December 15, 1995, requires that long-lived assets and certain
    identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed
    for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
    the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In addition, this statement
    requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
    be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
    less cost to sell. The Company intends to adopt this statement in fiscal
    1996 and the adoption of SFAS No. 121 is not expected to have any
    material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's liquidity is derived principally from the cash
proceeds of operating activities, anticipated disposals of assets and
investments, and realization of tax benefits associated with losses on
sales of facilities and expenditures related to discontinued operations.
This liquidity, along with the availability of credit under the new
credit facility, is believed to be adequate to meet debt service
requirements and to finance planned capital expenditures, acquisitions
and other known operating needs, including resolution of the unusual
legal proceedings referred to herein.

     The Company's strategy includes the pursuit of growth through joint
ventures, including the development of integrated healthcare systems in
certain strategic markets, hospital acquisitions and physician practice
acquisitions. All or portions of this growth may be financed through
available credit under the new credit facility or, depending on capital
market conditions, sale of additional subordinated debt or equity
securities or other bank borrowings. The Company's unused borrowing
capacity under its revolving credit agreement was $189.4 million as of
August 31, 1995. On October 11, 1995, the Company sold $500 million of
new Senior Notes due 2003, the net proceeds of which were used to repay
bank loans under the credit agreement. (See Note 6.)

     During the quarter ended August 31, 1995 net cash provided by
operating activities was $77.1 million before expenditures of $16.3
million related to restructuring reserves and discontinued operations.
For the prior year quarter cash provided by operating activities was
$28.2 million before expenditures of $405.4 million for restructuring
charges and discontinued operations.

     Proceeds from the sales of facilities and other assets was $231.3
million in the quarter ended August 31, 1995, substantially all of which
was derived from the June 28, 1995 sale of the Company's two hospitals
and related healthcare businesses in Singapore. The Company used the net
proceeds from that sale to reduce outstanding bank loans under its
revolving credit agreement. On September 28, 1995, the Company received
$91.8 million from the redemption of its Hillhaven Series C and D
preferred stock. On October 3, 1995, the Company sold its 30% interest
in the Subang Jaya Medical Centre in Malaysia for approximately $12.0
million. In addition, the Company expects to receive aggregate cash
consideration of approximately $82.0 million from the sales of its
holdings in Australia and Thailand, which transactions are expected to
close before November 30, 1995. In addition, the Company is continuing
to evaluate other opportunities to monetize other investments and
certain other assets.

     Cash payments for property and equipment were $95.1 million in the
quarter ended August 31, 1995, compared to $28.2 million in the quarter
ended August 31, 1994. Capital expenditures for the Company, before any
significant acquisitions of facilities, are expected to be approximately
$385.0 million for the current fiscal year ending May 31, 1996 and
approximately $400.0 million for each of the following two years.

     In August 1995, the Company acquired two hospitals and a related
physician practice in New Orleans, Louisiana and in September 1995,
acquired a hospital in El Paso, Texas. The aggregate purchase price for
both transactions was approximately $302.9 million (including the
purchase of current assets and

the assumption of current liabilities) and was financed by borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit agreement.

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 1995 were
$106.4 million, a decrease of $48.6 over May 31, 1995. Working capital at
August 31, 1995 was a $184.5 million, compared to $267.1 at May 31, 1995. The
principal reasons for the decline in working capital were the sale of the
Company's holdings in Singapore ($59.6 million in net assets which were
classified as assets held for sale in current assets at May 31, 1995), the
proceeds of which were used to retire long-term debt, and an increase in the
current portion of long-term debt due to the maturity of $24.5 million of the
Company's unsecured medium-term notes in June 1996.

     Management believes that patient volumes, cash flows and operating
results at the Company's principal healthcare businesses have been adversely
affected by the legal proceedings and investigations described in the Annual
Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995,
and herein. The Company has reserves for the remaining legal proceedings not
yet settled as of August 31, 1995 and an estimate of the legal fees related
to these matters to be incurred subsequently totaling approximately $84.6
million, of which $66.3 million is expected to be paid within one year. These
reserves represent management's estimate of the net costs of the ultimate
disposition of these matters. There can be no assurance, however, that the
ultimate liability will not exceed such estimates.

     The new credit facility and debt securities have affirmative, negative
and financial covenants with which the Company must comply. These covenants
include, among other requirements, limitations on borrowings, liens,
investments, dividends and assets sales, and covenants regarding maintenance
of specified levels of net worth, debt ratios and fixed-charge ratios.

     Income before income taxes was $228.9 million for the quarter ended
August 31, 1995, compared with $107.0 million for the prior year quarter.
These results include pre-tax gains on disposals of facilities and long-term
investments of $123.5 million (approximately $.28 per share net of taxes, on
a fully diluted basis) in the quarter ended August 31, 1995 and $29.5 million
(approximately $.09 per share net of taxes, on a fully diluted basis) in the
quarter ended August 31, 1994.

    Net operating revenues for the quarter were $1,283.9 million compared
with $662.8 million in the prior year quarter. The current quarter includes
revenues attributable to facilities acquired in the March 1, 1995 acquisition
of AMH. Net operating revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 1995, the first
quarter of combined operations following the acquisition of AMH, were
$1,356.3 million.

     Operating income increased by $89.0 million (or 104.8%) or $173.9
million for the quarter ended August 31, 1995 from $84.9 million for the
quarter ended August 31, 1994 primarily due to the acquisition of AMH
referred to above. The operating income margin for the current quarter
increased to 13.5% from 12.8% a year ago. The increase in the operating
margin is primarily due to effective cost control programs in the hospitals
and the benefits of overhead reduction plans implemented during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 and following the AMH merger.

*The % change is the difference between 1995 and 1994 percentages shown.

     Net operating revenues from the Company's domestic general hospital
operations increased 123.3% to $1,175.2 million for the three months ended
August 31, 1995, compared with $526.3 million for the prior year quarter.
They were $1,200.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 1995. Excluding
net operating revenues from the facilities acquired in the AMH merger, net
operating revenues for the Company's domestic general hospitals would have
remained relatively unchanged as less intensive services continue to shift
from an inpatient to an outpatient basis or to alternative healthcare
delivery services because of technological improvements and continued
pressures by payors to reduce admissions and lengths of stay.

     Medicare revenues as a percentage of total patient revenues were 38.4%
for the three months ended August 31, 1995, compared with 35.1% for the prior
year quarter. Historically, rates paid under Medicare's prospective payment
system for inpatient services have increased, but such increases have been
less than cost increases. Payments for Medicare outpatient services are
presently cost reimbursed, but there are pending certain proposed regulations
that would convert reimbursement to a prospective payment system. Medicaid
programs in certain states in which the Company operates also are undergoing
changes that will result in reduced payments to hospitals. Pressures to
control healthcare costs have resulted in an increase in the percentage of
revenues attributable to managed care payors. The Company anticipates that
its managed care business will increase in the future.

     The patient volumes and net operating revenues of the Company's domestic
general hospitals are

subject to seasonal variations caused by a number of factors, including but
not necessarily limited to, seasonal cycles of illness, climate and weather
conditions, vacation patterns of both hospital patients and admitting
physicians and other factors relating to the timing of elective hospital
procedures.

     Net operating revenues from the Company's other domestic operations
increased 8.7% to $74.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 1995,
compared to $68.8 million for the prior year period, representing an increase
of $6.0 million. This increase primarily reflects continued growth of
National Health Plans, the Company's HMO and insurance subsidiary.

     Net operating revenues from the Company's international operations
decreased 33.7% to $33.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 1995,
compared to $51.1 million for the prior year quarter period, representing a
decrease of $17.2 million. This decrease is principally attributable to the
June 28, 1995 sale of the Company's two hospitals and related healthcare
businesses in Singapore. On October 3, 1995, the Company sold its 30% interest
in the Subang Jaya Medical Centre in Malaysia to the Company's Malaysian
partner for approximately $12.0 million. The Company also has an agreement to
sell its 40% interest in the Bumrungrad Medical Center in Thailand and
expects to sell that interest before November 30, 1995. In addition, the
Company also expects to sell its 52% interest in Australian Medical
Enterprises Limited before November 30, 1995. The net operating revenues and
operating profits of the sold and to be sold international facilities were
$33.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively in the quarter ended August 31,
1995, as compared to $49.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively, for the
quarter ended August 31, 1994.

     Operating expenses, which include salaries and benefits, supplies,
provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, and other
operating expenses, were $1,110.0 million for the quarter ended August 31,
1995 and $577.9 million for the prior year quarter. Operating expenses for
the current quarter include operating expenses from the facilities acquired
in the March 1, 1995 AMH merger. Operating expenses for the quarter ended May
31, 1995 were $1,223.2 million, which includes $36.9 million of restructuring
charges.

     Salaries and benefits expense as a percentage of net operating revenues
was 39.1% in the quarter ended August 31, 1995 and 42.7% in the prior year
quarter. The improvement is primarily attributable to a reduction in staffing
levels implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and following the
AMH merger. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of net operating revenues
were 39.5% in the quarter ended May 31, 1995.

     Supplies expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 14.0% in
the quarter ended August 31, 1995, 13.9% in the quarter ended May 31, 1995
and 12.2% in the prior year quarter. The increase over the prior year quarter
is primarily attributable to higher supplies expense in the facilities
acquired in the AMH merger. The Company expects to reduce supplies expense
through the incorporation of the acquired facilities into the Company's
existing group purchasing program.

     The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of net operating
revenues was 5.2% for the quarter ended August 31, 1995, 5.1% in the quarter
ended May 31, 1995 and 3.9% in the prior year quarter.

<PAGE>

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

The increase over the prior year quarter is primarily attributable to
higher bad debt experience at the facilities acquired in the AMH merger.
Excluding the net operating revenues and operating expenses of the AMH
facilities, the provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of net
operating revenues would have been 3.8% in the current year quarter. The
Company has been establishing improved follow-up collection systems
through investment in an electronic claims processing network and
through the continued consolidation of hospital business office
functions.

     Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net
operating revenues were 6.3% in the quarter ended August 31, 1995, 6.1%
in the quarter ended May 31, 1995 and 5.7% in the prior year quarter.
The increase from $37.9 million in the quarter ended August 31, 1994 to
$80.2 million for the quarter ended August 31, 1995 is primarily due to
depreciation expense at the facilities acquired in the AMH merger and to
the increase in goodwill amortization expense resulting from the AMH
merger. Goodwill amortization associated with the AMH merger is expected
to be approximately $62.5 million annually.

     Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $77.1 in the
quarter ended August 31, 1995, $85.2 million in the quarter ended May
31, 1995 and $17.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in
interest expense was due primarily to the acquisition of AMH and the new
notes and bank loans used to finance the acquisition and to retire debt
in connection with the merger.

     Taxes on income as a percentage of income before income taxes were
48.3% in the August 31, 1995 quarter compared with 40.2% in the prior
year quarter. The difference between the Company's effective income tax
rate and the statutory federal income tax rate is shown below:

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        Material Development in Previously Reported Legal Proceedings:

        With respect to the shareholders derivative actions filed in the
        Los Angeles Superior Court in October and November of 1991 and
        previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
        the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, a stipulation of settlement was
        executed by the parties as of September 8, 1995. Court approval is
        required and a hearing before the court is expected to be scheduled
        shortly. All monies relative to this settlement have been funded.

        In its normal course of business the Company also is subject to
        claims and lawsuits relating to injuries arising from patient
        treatment. The Company believes that its liability for damages
        resulting from such claims and lawsuits is adequately covered by
        insurance or is adequately provided for in its financial statements.

Items 2, 3 and 5 are not applicable.

Item 4. Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

        On June 22, 1995, pursuant to a solicitation by the Board of
        Directors of the Company for written consents from the

        articles of incorporation of the Company to change its name from
        National Medical Enterprises, Inc. to Tenet Healthcare Corporation.
        The votes were as follows:
