                   11 3/8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2004
                             ---------------------
 
    The 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Notes") are being
offered by OrNda HealthCorp (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Summit Health Ltd. ("Summit" and, together with the Company, the "Co-Obligors").
The Notes are the joint and several obligations of the Co-Obligors. The Company
will receive all of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes.
 
    Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on February 15 and
August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 1995. The Notes are redeemable
at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after
August 15, 1999 at the redemption prices set forth herein, together with accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Upon a Change of Control
(as defined herein) and the satisfaction of certain conditions regarding
Designated Senior Debt (as defined herein), each holder of the Notes may require
the Company to repurchase such Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
 
    The Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
future Senior Debt (as defined herein) of the Co-Obligors and effectively
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future liabilities of the
Company's subsidiaries (other than Summit). As of May 31, 1994, the amount of
Senior Debt and obligations of the Company's subsidiaries (excluding
intercompany indebtedness) that effectively ranked senior to the Notes was
approximately $622.4 million. As of May 31, 1994, after giving effect to the
Company's acquisition of Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center
("Fountain Valley"), the offering of the Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom
as described herein, and assuming the repurchase of 100% of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Company's 10 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2003 (the "10 1/4% Notes") pursuant to the Change of Control Offer (as
defined herein), such amount would have been approximately $603.0 million. The
Notes will rank pari passu in right of payment to the Company's 12 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the "12 1/4% Notes") and the 10 1/4% Notes. As of
May 31, 1994, there was $500 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness
outstanding which would rank pari passu in right of payment to the Notes. As of
May 31, 1994, after giving effect to the offering of the Notes and the use of
proceeds therefrom as described herein, and assuming the repurchase of 100% of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer, there would have been $400 million aggregate principal
amount of indebtedness outstanding which would rank pari passu in right of
payment to the Notes. See "Description of the Notes -- Subordination."

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company is a leading provider of health care services in the United
States, delivering a broad range of inpatient and outpatient health care
services principally through the operation of 46 hospitals located in urban and
suburban communities in 15 states, primarily in the southern and western United
States. Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery,
internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, diagnostic
services, coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. On an
outpatient basis, the Company's services include, among others, same-day
surgery, diagnostic radiology (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging, CT scanning,
X-ray), rehabilitative therapy, clinical laboratory services, pharmaceutical
services and psychiatric services. The Company also operates a number of
free-standing surgery centers, which provide a cost-effective alternative to
inpatient care for the performance of minor surgeries. Certain of the Company's
hospitals offer other specialized services, including cardiac surgery, home
health services, hemodialysis, rehabilitation, AIDS treatment and clinics
specializing in the treatment of industrial accidents and women's health. In
addition, the Company operates a managed health care plan (the "Medicaid HMO")
pursuant to which the Company currently provides health care services, under a
fixed price contract, to over 20,000 members of the Arizona state Medicaid
system.
 
     Since January 1992, when Charles N. Martin, Jr. was elected Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company has (i) substantially
increased its revenue while improving operating profitability and (ii) actively
participated in the consolidation of the health care industry through a series
of strategic acquisitions. Through such acquisitions the Company has diversified
into new markets and expanded its service capabilities in order to position the
Company as a leading provider of low cost, high quality health care services.
The Company has grown in size from 11 hospitals at August 31, 1991 to 46
hospitals at August 9, 1994 and its revenue has grown from approximately $460
million for the 1991 fiscal year (prior to giving pro forma effect to the
Mergers and the acquisition of Fountain Valley described below) to approximately
$1.6 billion for the 1993 fiscal year (after giving pro forma effect to the
Mergers and the acquisition of Fountain Valley). The operating margin of its
hospitals has grown from 12.2% for the 1991 fiscal year (prior to giving pro
forma effect to the Mergers and the acquisition of Fountain Valley) to 14.4% for
the nine months ended May 31, 1994 (after giving pro forma effect to the Mergers
and the acquisition of Fountain Valley).
 
     On April 19, 1994, the Company completed a merger with AHM, which operated
16 acute care hospitals providing basic primary care services (the "AHM
Merger"), and acquired Summit, which operated 12 hospitals and a variety of
outpatient specialty health care clinics and programs (the "Summit Merger" and,
together with the AHM Merger, the "Mergers"). The Company believes that the
Mergers have created a company positioned to compete more effectively in the
changing health care environment. The Company's revenue, EBITDA and income from
continuing operations for the 1993 fiscal year approximated $1.6 billion, $223.7
million, and $28.5 million, respectively, after giving pro forma effect to the
Mergers, the offering of the
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   4
 
Notes (the "Offering") and the acquisition of Fountain Valley and assuming the
Company's repurchase of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 10 1/4%
Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.
 
     The Mergers enhanced the Company's position in several of its existing
markets, primarily Southern California, by allowing the Company to coordinate
the services provided by the hospitals acquired with those provided by its
existing hospitals and thereby eliminate redundant services and benefit from
other operating efficiencies and economies of scale. In addition, the Mergers
provided the Company with access to new markets, including Arizona and Nevada,
and new health care delivery capabilities, such as the Medicaid HMO and
outpatient specialty service clinics. The Mergers also strengthened the
Company's management team through the addition of management personnel from
Summit and AHM with experience in improving operating performance.
 
     The Company recently acquired Fountain Valley, a provider of tertiary care
services, from Fountain Valley Medical Development Co. ("FVMDC"). Fountain
Valley, located on a 38-acre campus in Fountain Valley, California, contains a
413-bed acute care hospital, a surgery center, an imaging center and four
medical office buildings aggregating approximately 250,000 square feet of office
space. The aggregate consideration paid for Fountain Valley was approximately
$145 million, approximately $104 million of which was paid in cash by Summit.
The balance of the purchase price, approximately $41 million, was paid by an
unrelated real estate investment trust(the "REIT") which, pursuant to a Real
Estate Purchase Agreement (the "Real Estate Purchase Agreement"), purchased and
is leasing to the Company certain of Fountain Valley's real estate, including
the four medical office buildings. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993,
Fountain Valley's total revenues, EBITDA and income from continuing operations
were approximately $120.8 million, $21.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
See "Business -- Recent Acquisitions."
 
     The Company intends to continue to increase revenue and market share
through implementation of the following business strategies:
 
          - Development of Integrated Health Care Delivery Networks.  In order
     to succeed in the changing health care environment, the Company is
     developing relationships with managed care organizations, other health care
     providers and physicians in each of its markets to offer a full range of
     integrated patient services on a cost effective basis. The Company believes
     that the establishment of integrated networks will allow it to, among other
     things, (i) improve the quality of care provided by concentrating
     specialized service expertise within each market and (ii) reduce costs
     through consolidation of facilities, increased purchasing power and other
     economies of scale. Through the development of health care networks, the
     Company believes it will augment revenues and market share by attracting an
     increasing share of large, sophisticated governmental and private sector
     managed care contracts. In addition, the Company intends to continue to
     pursue strategic acquisitions of health care providers in geographic areas
     and with service capabilities that will facilitate the development of
     integrated networks. The Company believes that the recently completed
     acquisition of Fountain Valley will further the development of a health
     care network in the greater Los Angeles, California area by allowing the
     Company to integrate the tertiary care services provided by Fountain Valley
     with the primary care services provided by the Company's 13 other hospitals
     in neighboring communities.
 
          - Outpatient Services.  The Company has responded to the recent shift
     toward increased outpatient care by enhancing its hospitals' outpatient
     facilities and services. The Company will emphasize those outpatient
     services that it believes will grow in demand and which can be provided on
     a cost effective, high revenue growth basis. The Company believes that it
     is well positioned to compete effectively with alternate site providers of
     outpatient services because its acute care hospitals are able to offer a
     broader range of services at competitive prices.
 
          - Cost Reduction.  The Company intends to continue to position itself
     as a low cost provider of health care services in each of its markets by
     implementing programs designed to improve financial performance and
     efficiency. These programs include, among others, (i) monitoring and
     adjusting staffing levels and equipment usage in response to resource
     consumption; (ii) more efficient use of professional and paraprofessional
     staff such as nurses and nurses' aides; (iii) improving patient management
     and reporting procedures; and (iv) improving the collection and sharing of
     utilization and patient mix data
 
                                        4

     with providers, employers and payors. In addition, the Company intends to
     take advantage of reductions in corporate overhead and other economies of
     scale from the Mergers and any future acquisitions. The Company estimates
     realizing annualized operating cost savings of approximately $15 million
     from improved operating efficiencies resulting from the Mergers.
 
          - Community Based Services.  The Company intends to continue to
     implement specialty programs on a selective basis to maintain and enhance
     the range and quality of its health care services. The Company focuses on
     the particular needs of each community it serves and tailors its services
     based upon local conditions and the Company's ability to provide such
     services on a competitive basis. Examples of specialty services provided by
     the Company in response to local demand include rehabilitation services,
     home health services, AIDS treatment, cardiac surgery, weight loss
     services, pain treatment programs and women's health clinics.
 
          - Modernization of Facilities.  The Company believes that maintaining
     and modernizing its facilities is an important means of continuing revenue
     and market share growth. After giving pro forma effect to the Mergers, the
     Company's capital expenditures have totalled approximately $200 million
     over the past three fiscal years. Such spending resulted in hospital
     renovations and equipment purchases to expand and enhance the Company's
     range of services as well as the expansion of high growth outpatient
     facilities and other specialty services, including outpatient surgery and
     home health services. The Company believes that capital expenditures
     (exclusive of hospital acquisitions) during the 12 months following the
     Mergers will not exceed $75 million, and will be used for expansion of
     services at existing facilities and the replacement of outdated equipment.
 
          - Management Information Systems.  The Company believes that the
     ability to collect and analyze information on the quality of care and to
     develop appropriate responses thereto is critical to achieving growth in
     the managed care environment. Prior to the Mergers, the Company, Summit and
     AHM each designed or successfully implemented systems which measure
     selected outcome quality indicators and identify needed improvements to
     patient care. For example, these systems help identify and track quality
     indicators such as unplanned transfers to intensive care units and returns
     to the operating room. This information, which is shared with physicians
     and other health care professionals, is being utilized to develop improved
     protocols of care and to direct treatment to the most appropriate level of
     care. The Company is consolidating its quality and utilization system with
     that of each of AHM and Summit to enhance its operational efficiency and
     reduce costs.
 
     The Company's and Summit's principal executive offices are located at 3401
West End Avenue, Suite 700, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, and their telephone
number is (615) 383-8599.

                             aggregate principal amount of indebtedness
                             outstanding which would have ranked pari passu in

                             restricted payments; (iii) limitation on liens
                             securing indebtedness; (iv) limitation on the

                             creation of any restriction on the ability of
                             the Company's subsidiaries to make distributions;
                             (v) limitation on transactions with affiliates;
                             (vi) limitation on other subordinated
                             indebtedness; and (vii) restrictions on mergers,
                             consolidations and the transfer of all or
                             substantially all of the assets of the Company to
                             another person. See "Description of the Notes --
                             Restrictive Covenants."
 
Use of Proceeds............  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of
                             the Notes are estimated to be approximately
                             $120,875,000 (after deducting estimated expenses
                             and underwriting discounts and commissions). The
                             Company intends to use the net proceeds from the
                             Offering to reduce amounts outstanding under the
                             revolving facility of the Company's existing bank
                             credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility"), which
                             amounts the Company has utilized or anticipates
                             utilizing in connection with the repurchase of the
                             10 1/4% Notes, the financing of the acquisition of
                             Fountain Valley and other strategic acquisitions
                             and for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the
                             terms of the indenture under which the 10 1/4%
                             Notes were issued, the AHM Merger constituted a
                             "Change of Control" and the Company was required to
                             offer to purchase (the "Change of Control Offer")
                             the $100 million aggregate principal amount of the
                             10 1/4% Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the
                             principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. As
                             of July 18, 1994, the expiration date of the Change
                             of Control Offer, approximately $99.3 million
                             aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
                             10 1/4% Notes were tendered and were purchased by
                             the Company on July 19, 1994 pursuant to the Change
                             of Control Offer. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
Absence of Public Market...  There is no public market for the Notes and the
                             Co-Obligors do not intend to list the Notes on any
                             securities exchange or for quotation through the
                             National Association of Securities Dealers
                             Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"). The
                             Co-Obligors have been advised by the Underwriters
                             (as defined herein) that, following the completion
                             of the Offering, the Underwriters presently intend
                             to make a market in the Notes. However, the
                             Underwriters are under no obligation to do so and
                             may discontinue any market making activities at any
                             time without notice. There can be no assurance as
                             to the liquidity of the trading market for the
                             Notes or that an active public market for the Notes
                             will develop or, if developed, will continue.
 
                           INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
 
     See "Investment Considerations" for a discussion of certain factors that
should be considered by prospective purchasers in evaluating an investment in
the Notes.

         SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The following table presents summary pro forma condensed combined financial
data derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The summary pro forma
condensed combined financial data gives effect to the following transactions and
events as if all such transactions had occurred, in the case of statement of
operations and operating data, on September 1, 1992 and in the case of balance
sheet data, on April 19, 1994 for the Summit Merger and on May 31, 1994 for all
other transactions: (i) the acquisition of Florida Medical Center (applying the
purchase method of accounting) on June 30, 1993; (ii) the Summit Merger
(applying the purchase method of accounting); (iii) the acquisition of Fountain
Valley (applying the purchase method of accounting); (iv) the consummation of
the Offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom; and (v) the
Company's repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Because the Company
accounted for the AHM Merger as a pooling-of-interests transaction, the
historical financial data of the Company include AHM's historical results of
operations. The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial data does not reflect cost savings, if any, which may be realized by
the Company from the consummation of the Mergers or the acquisition of Fountain
Valley.
 
     The summary pro forma condensed combined financial data are unaudited and
do not purport to represent what the Company's results of operations would
actually have been if the transactions assumed therein had in fact occurred at
the times assumed or to project the Company's results of operation for any
future periods or its financial condition at any future date. The summary pro
forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the
respective historical financial statements of the Company, Summit and Fountain
Valley incorporated by reference or included herein and the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements included herein.

    presents the historical balance sheet of the Company as of May 31, 1994
    (which includes the effect of the Mergers) and the historical balance sheet
    of Fountain Valley as of April 30, 1994.
(2) The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations
    and operating data for the year ended August 31, 1993 include the Company's
    historical results of operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993
    (which include the results of operations of AHM) (adjusted on a pro forma
    basis to include the acquisition of Florida Medical Center); Summit's
    historical results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993;
    and Fountain Valley's historical results of operations for the fiscal year
    ended October 31, 1993.
(3) Total revenue is comprised of patient revenue, net of contractual
    adjustments, and other revenue.
(4) While EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for income from
    operations or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flow from operating
    activities, which are determined in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles, it is included herein to provide additional
    information with respect to the ability of the Company to meet its future
    debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
(5) EBITDA divided by total revenue.
(6) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing earnings
    before income taxes plus fixed charges by the sum of fixed charges which
    consists of interest expense, amortization of financing costs and the
    portion of rental expense which is deemed to be representative of the
    interest component of rental expense.

                           INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
 
     Prospective investors should consider carefully, in addition to the other
information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, the
following factors before purchasing the Notes offered hereby.
 
CERTAIN FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
 
     The Company has substantial indebtedness and, as a result, significant debt
service obligations. As of May 31, 1994, the Company had approximately $1.0
billion of long-term indebtedness which approximated 73.5% of its total
capitalization. As of May 31, 1994, after giving effect to the acquisition of
Fountain Valley, the Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom and assuming the
repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4%
Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, the Company's long-term
indebtedness would have been approximately $1.1 billion, representing
approximately 75.5% of its total capitalization. See "Capitalization."
 
     The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important
consequences to holders of the Notes, including the following: (i) the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital,
capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be
impaired; (ii) a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations
must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness,
thereby reducing the funds available to the Company for its operations; (iii)
certain of the Company's borrowings are and will continue to be at variable
rates of interest, which causes the Company to be vulnerable to increases in
interest rates; and (iv) certain of the Company's indebtedness contains numerous
financial and other restrictive covenants, including those restricting the
incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, the payment of
dividends, sales of assets and minimum net worth requirements. Failure by the
Company to comply with such covenants may result in an event of default which,
if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
     The Company's ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance its
obligations with respects to its indebtedness depends on its financial and
operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic
conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond its control.
Although the Company's cash flow from its operations has been sufficient to meet
its debt service obligations in the past, there can be no assurance that the
Company's operating results will continue to be sufficient for payment of the
Company's indebtedness.
 
SUBORDINATION; EFFECT OF ENCUMBRANCES
 
     The Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
future Senior Debt (as defined herein) of the Co-Obligors and will rank pari
passu in right of payment with the Company's 12 1/4% Notes and the 10 1/4%
Notes. The 10 1/4% Notes are the joint and several obligations of the Company
and AHM Acquisition Co., Inc. ("AHM Acquisition Co."), a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, and, therefore, holders of any of the 10 1/4% Notes outstanding
following the Change of Control Offer will be entitled to satisfy their claims
out of the assets of AHM Acquisition Co. prior to holders of the Notes. AHM
Acquisition Co. owns substantially all of the operations acquired by the Company
from AHM in the AHM Merger. The Notes also will be effectively subordinated to
all existing and future liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries (other than
Summit). As of May 31, 1994, the amount of Senior Debt and obligations of the
Company's subsidiaries (excluding intercompany indebtedness) that effectively
ranked senior to the Notes was approximately $622.4 million. As of May 31, 1994,
after giving effect to the acquisition of Fountain Valley, the Offering and the
use of proceeds therefrom and assuming the repurchase of 100% of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, the amount of Senior Debt and obligations of the Company's
subsidiaries (excluding intercompany indebtedness) that effectively ranked
senior to the Notes would have been approximately 603.0 million. All
indebtedness incurred under the Bank Credit Facility constitutes Senior Debt.
The 12 1/4% Notes, the 10 1/4% Notes and indebtedness under the Bank Credit
Facility will mature prior to the Notes.
 
     The Co-Obligors may not pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on, the Notes or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire the Notes if any Senior
Debt is not paid when due or any other default on any
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   11
 
Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in
accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or
waived, any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Debt has been
paid in full. In addition, if any default exists with respect to certain Senior
Debt and certain other conditions are satisfied, the Co-Obligors may not make
any payments on the Notes for a designated period of time. Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company upon liquidation, dissolution,
reorganization or any similar proceeding, the holders of Senior Debt will be
entitled to receive payment in full before the holders of the Notes are entitled
to receive any payment. See "Description of the Notes -- Subordination."
 
     The Company has granted the lenders under the Bank Credit Facility a senior
security interest in the capital stock of the Company's subsidiaries, including
Summit, the partnership interests in partnerships in which the Company owns a
majority interest and instruments evidencing indebtedness owed to the Company by
its subsidiaries, including Summit. As of May 31, 1994, there was approximately
$451.7 million outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility. As of May 31, 1994,
after giving effect to the acquisition of Fountain Valley, the Offering and the
use of proceeds therefrom and assuming the repurchase of 100% of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, there would have been approximately $532.3 million outstanding
under the Bank Credit Facility. The Notes will be unsecured. If the Company
becomes insolvent or is liquidated, or if its indebtedness is accelerated, the
lenders under the Bank Credit Facility will be entitled to payment in full from
the proceeds of their security prior to any payment to the holders of Notes. In
such event, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which
claims of the holders of Notes could be satisfied or, if any assets remain, such
assets may be insufficient to satisfy fully such claims. See "Description of the
Notes."
 
SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS
 
     Since substantially all of the Co-Obligors' operations are conducted, and
substantially all of the Co-Obligors' assets are owned, by their respective
subsidiaries, the Notes will effectively be subordinated to all existing and
future liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries (other than Summit but
including Summit's subsidiaries), including the subsidiaries' guarantees of
indebtedness incurred under the Bank Credit Facility. Any right of the Company's
subsidiaries upon the liquidation, reorganization or insolvency of such
subsidiary (and the consequent right of the holders of the Notes to participate
in those assets) will be subject to the claims of the creditors (including trade
creditors) and preferred stockholders, if any, of such subsidiary, except to the
extent the Company or Summit has a claim against such subsidiary as a creditor
of such subsidiary. In addition, in the event that claims of the Company or
Summit as a creditor of a subsidiary are recognized, such claims would be
subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such subsidiary and any
indebtedness of such subsidiary senior to that held by the Company or Summit.
The ability of the Co-Obligors and their respective subsidiaries to incur
indebtedness is limited by certain of the restrictive covenants set forth in the
Bank Credit Facility and in the indentures relating to certain of the Company's
other long-term indebtedness, including the indenture governing the Notes.
Additionally, the indenture governing the Notes does not prohibit the Company
from transferring or disposing of the assets of Summit, and thereby diminishing
the assets available to satisfy the claims of holders of the Notes against
Summit.
 
     In addition, the Co-Obligors' ability to make required principal and
interest payments with respect to the Co-Obligors' indebtedness, including the
Notes, depends on the earnings of their respective subsidiaries and on their
ability to receive funds from such subsidiaries through dividends or other
payments. Since the Notes are obligations of the Co-Obligors only, the
Co-Obligors' subsidiaries are not obligated or required to pay any amounts due
pursuant to the Notes or to make funds available therefore in the form of
dividends or advances to the Co-Obligors.
 
HEALTH CARE REFORM
 
     On November 20, 1993, President Clinton submitted proposed comprehensive
health care reform legislation to Congress. A key component of the President's
proposal is the restructuring of health insurance markets through the use of
"managed competition." Under the proposal, states would be required to establish
regional purchasing cooperatives to act as the exclusive source of coverage for
individuals and employers with
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   12
 
less than 5,000 employees. These cooperatives would contract with health plans
that demonstrate an ability to provide a full range of benefits. All employers
would be required to make coverage available to their employees, and individuals
would be required to enroll in approved health plans. The costs of the
President's proposal would be funded in significant part by reductions in
payments to providers by the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The President's
proposal would also impose stringent limits on increases in the premiums of
health plans, which would indirectly impact the fees paid to health care
providers. In addition, other comprehensive health care reform bills have been
and are expected to be introduced in Congress. These bills contain and are
expected to contain benefit standards, coverage guarantees, cost controls and
financing that differ from the President's proposal. The Company is unable to
predict whether any reforms will be adopted or when any such reforms will be
implemented. No assurance can be given that such reforms will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
 
REIMBURSEMENT AND REGULATION
 
     The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from third party
payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in existing
government reimbursement programs have resulted in reduced levels of
reimbursement for health care services, and additional changes are anticipated.
Such changes are likely to result in further reductions in reimbursement levels.
In addition, private payors are increasingly demanding discounts from health
care providers. Significant limits on reimbursement rates could adversely affect
the Company's results of operations. Effective January 1, 1995, the California
Department of Health Services will begin changing the payment system for
participants in the California Medicaid program ("Medi-Cal") in certain
counties, including those in which the Company principally operates, from
fee-for-service arrangements to managed care plans. The Company is unable to
predict the effect these changes will have on its operations. No assurance can
be given that such reforms will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
 
     The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local
regulation relating to licensure, conduct of operations, addition of facilities
and services and prices for services. Antifraud and abuse amendments codified
under the Social Security Act of 1935, as amended (the "Social Security Act"),
prohibit certain business practices and relationships that may affect the
provision and cost of health care services reimbursable under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") has
issued regulations defining practices and business arrangements which are
permissible under such amendments. Certain of the Company's current financial
arrangements with physicians and other providers do not qualify for the safe
harbor exemptions and therefore risk scrutiny by HHS and may be subject to
enforcement action. In addition, Section 1877 under the Social Security Act has
recently been amended to significantly broaden the scope of prohibited physician
referrals to providers with which they have a financial arrangement, effective
January 1, 1995. The Company's participation in and development of joint
ventures and other financial arrangements with physicians could be adversely
affected by these amendments. The Company is unable to predict the future course
of federal, state and local regulation. Further changes in the regulatory
framework could have an adverse impact on the Company.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The health care industry is highly competitive and subject to excess
capacity. In recent years, competition among health care providers for patients
has intensified as hospital occupancy rates in the United States have declined
due to, among other things, regulatory and technological changes, increasing use
of managed care payment systems, cost containment pressures, a shift toward
outpatient treatment and an increasing supply of physicians. Certain of the
Company's competitors have greater financial resources and offer a broader range
of services than the Company. In addition, hospitals owned by governmental
agencies and other tax-exempt entities benefit from endowments, charitable
contributions and tax-exempt financing, which advantages are not enjoyed by the
Company's facilities.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   13
 
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company has recently completed several acquisitions of health care
providers, and intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the Offering to
reduce amounts outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility, which amounts the
Company anticipates utilizing, among other things, to finance additional
strategic acquisitions of businesses with facilities and service capabilities
that will enhance the Company's operations. See "Business -- Business Strategy."
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize expected
operating and economic efficiencies from its recent acquisitions or from any
future acquisitions. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to locate suitable acquisition candidates, consummate acquisitions
on favorable terms, or successfully integrate newly acquired businesses and
facilities with the Company's operations. The consummation of acquisitions could
result in the incurrence or assumption by the Company of additional
indebtedness.
 
POTENTIAL SUMMIT INCOME TAX LIABILITY
 
     The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") is currently engaged in an
examination of the Federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1984, 1985 and
1986 of Summit, which subsequent to the Company's acquisition thereof became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Summit has received a revenue agent's
report with proposed adjustments for the years 1984 through 1986 and Summit has
filed a protest with the district director opposing the proposed adjustments.
The IRS has challenged, among other things, the propriety of certain accounting
methods utilized by Summit for tax purposes, including the use of the cash
method of accounting by certain of Summit's subsidiaries (the "Summit
Subsidiaries") prior to fiscal year 1988. For the taxable years prior to 1988,
most of the Summit Subsidiaries primarily reported taxable income using the cash
method of accounting. The cash method was prevalent within the hospital industry
and the Summit Subsidiaries applied the method in accordance with prior
agreements reached with the IRS. The IRS now asserts that an accrual method of
accounting should have been used. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "1986 Act")
requires most large corporate taxpayers (including Summit) to use an accrual
method of accounting beginning in 1987. Consequently, the Summit Subsidiaries
changed to the accrual method beginning July 1, 1987. In accordance with the
provisions of the 1986 Act, income that was deferred by use of the cash method
at the end of 1986 is being recognized as taxable income by the Summit
Subsidiaries in equal annual installments over ten years beginning on July 1,
1987. The Company believes that Summit properly reported its income and paid its
taxes in accordance with applicable laws and in accordance with previous
agreements established with the IRS. The Company believes that the final outcome
of the IRS's examinations of prior years' income taxes will not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.
 
CONCENTRATION OF MARKETS
 
     Of the 46 hospitals operated by the Company, 14 hospitals are located in
the greater Los Angeles, California area and 18 hospitals, which generated
approximately 41.0% of the Company's revenue for the 1993 fiscal year (after
giving pro forma effect to the Mergers and the acquisition of Fountain Valley),
are located in California. In addition, five hospitals which generated
approximately 18.9% of the Company's revenue for the 1993 fiscal year (after
giving pro forma effect to the Mergers) are located in Florida. The
concentration of hospitals in California and Florida increases the risk that any
adverse economic, regulatory or other developments that may occur in such areas
may adversely affect the Company's operations or financial condition. In
addition, the Company has experienced, and expects that it will continue to
experience, delays in payment and in rate increases by Medi-Cal. Although these
delays have not had a material adverse effect on the Company, there can be no
assurance that future delays will not have such an effect.
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL AND PHYSICIANS
 
     The Company's operations are dependent on the efforts, ability and
experience of certain key management personnel, including Charles N. Martin,
Jr., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company, and Donald J. Amaral, President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company. An event of default occurs under the Bank Credit Facility if either Mr.
Martin or Mr. Amaral is no longer a
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   14
 
member of the Company's senior management, unless replaced within 120 days with
an executive reasonably satisfactory to the bank lenders. In addition, since
physicians generally control the majority of hospital admissions, the success of
the Company, in part, is dependent upon the number and quality of physicians on
its hospitals' medical staffs. The loss of some or all of the Company's key
management personnel or an inability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of
qualified physicians could have an adverse impact on the Company's future
results of operations.
 
LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
 
     As is typical in the health care industry, the Company is subject to claims
and legal actions by patients and others in the ordinary course of business. The
Company is partially self-insured for its hospital professional liability and
comprehensive general liability risks and maintains an unfunded reserve for such
risks. For hospital professional liability and comprehensive general liability
claims asserted, the Company assumes such liability risks under its self-insured
retention up to $3 million per claim, or $30 million in the aggregate, for
claims reported after June 1, 1994. The Company also purchases excess levels of
coverage above such self-insured retention. For the twelve months ending June 1,
1995, the Company purchased a $50 million layer of excess insurance above
self-insured retentions that may be applied towards hospital professional
liability and comprehensive general liability claims. Although the Company's
cash flow and reserves for self-insured liabilities have been adequate in the
past to provide for such self-insured liabilities, and the Company believes that
it has adequately provided for future self-insured liabilities, there can be no
assurance that the Company's cash flow and reserves will continue to be
adequate. If actual payments of claims with respect to the Company's
self-insured liabilities exceed projected payments of claims, the result of
operations of the Company could be adversely affected. In addition, while the
Company's professional and other liability insurance have been adequate in the
past to provide for liability claims, there can be no assurance that adequate
insurance will continue to be available at favorable price levels.
 
LACK OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR SECURITIES
 
     There is no public market for the Notes and the Co-Obligors do not intend
to list the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation through NASDAQ.
The Co-Obligors have been advised by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, Salomon Brothers Inc and Citicorp Securities, Inc. (together, the
"Underwriters") that, following the completion of the Offering, the Underwriters
presently intend to make a market in the Notes. However, the Underwriters are
under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market making activity at
any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the
trading market for the Notes or that an active public market for the Notes will
develop or, if developed, will continue. If an active public market does not
develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be
adversely affected.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The Company will receive all of the net proceeds from the Offering. The net
proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes in the Offering (after
deducting estimated expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions) are
estimated to be approximately $120,875,000. The Company intends to apply such
net proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under the revolving facility of the
Bank Credit Facility, which amounts the Company has utilized or anticipates
utilizing in connection with the repurchase of the 10 1/4% Notes, the financing
of the acquisition of Fountain Valley and other strategic acquisitions and for
general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture under which
the 10 1/4% Notes were issued, the AHM Merger constituted a "Change of Control"
and the Company was required to make the Change of Control Offer for the $100
million aggregate principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes at a purchase price of
101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. As of July 18, 1994,
the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, approximately $99.3 million
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 10 1/4% Notes were tendered and
were purchased by the Company on July 19, 1994 pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer. The
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   15
 
Company currently has no definitive agreements with respect to any acquisition,
and there can be no assurance that any acquisitions will be consummated.
 
     Borrowings under the revolving facility of the Bank Credit Facility bear
interest at a fluctuating rate equal to either (i) the alternate base rate (as
defined) plus 1.0% or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.0%, in each case subject on or after
November 1, 1994 to potential decreases or increases dependent upon the
Company's interest coverage and debt to cash flow ratios. The revolving facility
of the Bank Credit Facility expires on April 19, 2000.

     The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at May 31,
1994 and as adjusted to give pro forma effect to (i) the consummation of the
Offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, (ii) the acquisition

    commenced the Change of Control Offer for all of the outstanding 10 1/4%
    Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. As of
    July 18, 1994, the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer,
    approximately $99.3 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding

     The following table sets forth selected historical financial data and other
operating information of the Company giving effect to the Mergers. The selected
historical financial data for the five fiscal years ended August 31, 1993 are
derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The selected
historical financial data for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 and 1993 are
derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
that, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary for a fair presentation of
such information. Operating results for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the Company's
fiscal year ending August 31, 1994. Because the Company accounted for the AHM
Merger as a pooling-of-interests transaction, the historical financial data of
the Company include AHM's historical results of operations. The nine months
ended May 31, 1994 include financial data for the Company for the nine months
ended May 31, 1994 and the financial data of Summit from the date of the
Mergers, April 19, 1994, through May 31, 1994. All information contained in the
following table should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial

(1) Total revenue is comprised of patient revenue, net of contractual
    adjustments, and other revenue.
(2) Special executive compensation for 1992 includes: (i) $3,000 of compensation
    expense related to the Company's sale of the Company's Common Stock and
    granting of options to Mr. Martin on January 15, 1992 and (ii) a non-cash
    reserve of $1,900 established for payments to be made in connection with the
    termination of employment with the Company of Mr. Bryan P. Marsal and Mr.
    Joseph A. Bondi in 1992. The payments related to the Marsal and Bondi
    terminations will be made monthly through October 1994. Special executive
    compensation for 1994 represents compensation expense related to the
    Company's granting of options to key members of senior management during the
    second quarter of 1994.
(3) Per share information for the years August 31, 1990 and 1989 is not
    presented because a different capital structure existed.
(4) While EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for income from
    operations or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flow from operating
    activities, which are determined in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles, it is included herein to provide additional
    information with respect to the ability of the Company to meet its future
    debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
(5) EBITDA divided by total revenue.
(6) Long-term debt of $493,510 for the Company is classified as current at
    August 31, 1989.
(7) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing earnings
    before income taxes plus fixed charges by the sum of fixed charges which
    consists of interest expense, amortization of financing costs and the
    portion of rental expense which is deemed to be representative of the
    interest component of rental expense. Earnings were inadequate to cover
    fixed charges by approximately $66,518, $130,165, $17,095, $68,836, and
    $23,111 for the years ended August 31, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and for the
    nine months ended May 31, 1994, respectively.

                                    BUSINESS
 
THE COMPANY
 
     The Company is a leading provider of health care services in the United
States, delivering a broad range of inpatient and outpatient health care
services principally through the operation of 46 hospitals located in urban and
suburban communities in 15 states, primarily in the southern and western United
States. Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery,
internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, diagnostic
services, coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. On an
outpatient basis, the Company's services include, among others, same day
surgery, diagnostic radiology (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging, CT scanning,
X-ray), rehabilitative therapy, clinical laboratory services, pharmaceutical
services and psychiatric services. The Company also operates a number of
free-standing surgery centers, which provide a cost-effective alternative to
inpatient care for the performance of minor surgeries. Certain of the Company's
hospitals offer other specialized services, including cardiac surgery, home
health services, hemodialysis, rehabilitation, AIDS treatment and clinics
specializing in the treatment of industrial accidents and women's health. In
addition, the Company operates the Medicaid HMO, pursuant to which the Company
currently provides health care services, under a fixed price contract, to over
20,000 members of the Arizona state Medicaid system.
 
     Since January 1992, when Charles N. Martin, Jr. was elected Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company has (i) substantially
increased its revenue while improving operating profitability and (ii) actively
participated in the consolidation of the health care industry through a series
of strategic acquisitions. Through such acquisitions the Company has diversified
into new markets and expanded its service capabilities in order to position the
Company as a leading provider of low cost, high quality health care services.
The Company has grown in size from 11 hospitals at August 31, 1991 to 46
hospitals at August 9, 1994 and its revenue has grown from approximately $460
million for the 1991 fiscal year (prior to giving pro forma effect to the
Mergers and the acquisition of Fountain Valley) to approximately $1.6 billion
for the 1993 fiscal year (after giving pro forma effect to the Mergers and the
acquisition of Fountain Valley). The operating margin of its hospitals has grown
from 12.2% for the 1991 fiscal year (prior to giving pro forma effect to the
Mergers and the acquisition of Fountain Valley) to 14.4% for the nine months
ended May 31, 1994 (after giving pro forma effect to the Mergers and the
acquisition of Fountain Valley).
 
RECENT ACQUISITIONS
 
     On April 19, 1994, the Company completed a merger with AHM, which operated
16 acute care hospitals providing basic primary care services, and acquired
Summit, which operated 12 hospitals and a variety of outpatient specialty health
care clinics and programs. The Company believes that the Mergers have created a
company positioned to compete more effectively in the changing health care
environment.
 
     The Mergers increased the number of hospitals operated by the Company from
17 to 45 and enhanced the Company's position in several of its existing markets,
primarily Southern California. The services provided by the additional
facilities are being coordinated with the hospitals previously operated by the
Company and will allow the Company to eliminate redundant services and benefit
from other operating efficiencies and economies of scale. In addition, the
Mergers provided the Company with access to new markets, including Arizona and
Nevada, and new health care delivery capabilities, such as the Medicaid HMO and
outpatient specialty service clinics. The Mergers also strengthened the
Company's management team through the addition of management personnel from
Summit and AHM with experience in improving operating performance. Prior to the
Mergers, the EBITDA margin of Summit improved from 8.8% to 11.8% and the EBITDA
margin of AHM improved from 11.4% to 13.4% during each company's most recently
completed three fiscal years.
 
     Summit and AHM have also contributed to the Company's expertise in certain
important sectors of the health care industry. Summit provided the Company with
additional experience operating in a managed care environment and expertise in
the development of specialty service programs. The Company believes that the
delivery of health care will be increasingly influenced by managed care payment
systems and that it will
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   23
 
benefit from Summit's experience in this area. AHM provided the Company with
strong financial and information system controls designed to effectively monitor
and reduce resource consumption, as well as additional expertise in providing
high quality basic primary care services.
 
     On August 9, 1994 the Company acquired Fountain Valley, a provider of
tertiary care services, from FVMDC. Fountain Valley, located on a 38-acre campus
in Fountain Valley, California, contains a 413-bed acute care hospital, a
surgery center, an imaging center and four medical office buildings aggregating
approximately 250,000 square feet of office space. For the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1993, Fountain Valley's total revenues, EBITDA and net income from
continuing operations were approximately $120.8 million, $21.6 million and $8.0
million, respectively. See the Consolidated Financial Statements of Fountain
Valley included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, FVMDC sold to Summit all of the
outstanding shares and partnership interests of certain corporations and
partnerships relating to Fountain Valley. Pursuant to the Real Estate Purchase
Agreement, the REIT purchased and is leasing to the Company certain of Fountain
Valley's real estate, including the four medical office buildings. The aggregate
consideration paid for Fountain Valley was approximately $145 million (the
"Purchase Price"), subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Approximately
$104 million of the Purchase Price was paid in cash by Summit under the Stock
Purchase Agreement and the balance of the Purchase Price, approximately $41
million, was paid by the REIT pursuant to the Real Estate Purchase Agreement.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company intends to increase revenues and continue market share growth
through implementation of the following business strategies:
 
     DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY NETWORKS.  The health care
industry has become increasingly dominated by governmental fixed reimbursement
programs and managed health care plans, causing cost containment pressure to
rise. In order to succeed in this environment, the Company is developing
relationships with managed care organizations, other health care providers and
physicians in each of its markets to offer a full range of integrated patient
services on a cost effective basis. The Company believes that the establishment
of integrated networks will allow it to (i) improve the quality of care provided
by concentrating expertise in the provision of specialized services within each
market; (ii) consolidate expensive equipment and procedures into fewer
facilities and reduce costs through increased purchasing power and other
economies of scale; and (iii) manage entire episodes of illness on a
coordinated, cost effective basis, rather than through the provision of costly,
isolated treatments. Through the development of health care networks, the
Company believes it will augment revenues and market share by attracting an
increasing share of large, sophisticated governmental and private sector managed
care contracts. The Company intends to continue to utilize the following
approaches in connection with its development of integrated health care
networks:
 
          - Hospitals as "Hubs" for Delivery Systems.  The Company intends to
     establish relationships with other health care providers in the markets it
     serves by building upon the primary and tertiary care provided by the
     Company's hospitals in such markets, and integrating these services with
     the outpatient and specialty services of other providers. The Company
     believes that hospitals are the logical hubs for the development of
     integrated health care delivery systems due to their highly developed
     infrastructure, extensive base of services, sophisticated equipment and
     skilled personnel.
 
          - Flexibility to Participate in Varying Capacities in Different
     Networks.  The Company's broad range of delivery capabilities provides it
     with the flexibility to participate in different capacities in the
     networks. For example, in markets in which the Company operates a large
     number of hospitals, it intends to take a leadership role in establishing
     relationships with other providers to develop fully integrated networks. In
     markets in which the Company is not one of the dominant providers of acute
     care services, the Company intends to participate in networks by
     integrating its service capabilities with the local providers of
     complementary health care services. In addition, through the Medicaid HMO,
     the Company has demonstrated its ability to successfully provide health
     care services on a fixed rate contract basis in conjunction with a
     governmental payor. The Company intends to pursue opportunities for similar
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   24
 
     arrangements in connection with the development of networks in its other
     markets. In addition, the Company continually analyzes whether each of its
     hospitals fits within its strategic plans and may divest itself of
     hospitals that do not so fit.
 
          - Strategic Acquisitions.  The Company intends to continue to pursue
     strategic acquisitions of health care providers in geographic areas and
     with service capabilities that will facilitate the development of
     integrated networks. For example, the Company recently acquired Fountain
     Valley, a provider of tertiary care services in Southern California. See
     "-- Recent Acquisitions." The Company has a significant primary care
     presence in that area and intends to integrate the tertiary care services
     provided by Fountain Valley with those provided by its primary care
     hospitals in nearby communities, thereby furthering the development of an
     integrated network of providers in the area.
 
          - Physician Alliances.  The Company intends to further its development
     of integrated networks by expanding its alliances with physicians to create
     long term hospital/physician linkages. These arrangements will allow
     physicians to participate in the delivery of health care at the network
     level. For example, in the Los Angeles market, the Company has formed a
     relationship with a group of physicians to participate in capitated health
     care contracts. The Company is pursuing similar arrangements with other
     physician groups and in other markets.
 
          - California Operations.  The Company believes that California
     represents a unique opportunity for the early development of an integrated
     network due to the high concentration of managed care operators in the
     state. The Company presently operates 18 hospitals in California.
     Consequently, the Company believes that it is in a position to offer
     managed care payors in the state a broad selection of locations and
     services on a cost effective basis. The Company believes that the recently
     completed acquisition of Fountain Valley will further the development of a
     health care network in the greater Los Angeles, California area by allowing
     the Company to integrate the tertiary care services provided by Fountain
     Valley with the primary care services provided by the Company's 13 other
     hospitals in the area.
 
     OUTPATIENT SERVICES.  Pressures to contain health care costs and
technological developments allowing more procedures to be performed on an
outpatient basis have led payors to demand a shift to ambulatory or outpatient
care wherever possible. The Company has responded to this trend by enhancing its
hospitals' outpatient capabilities through (i) selective conversion of excess
acute care bed capacity for use in outpatient treatment; (ii) improvement of
outpatient diagnostic services; (iii) a more efficient outpatient admissions
process; and (iv) a restructuring of existing surgical capacity to allow greater
concentration in the outpatient area. The Company's facilities will emphasize
those outpatient services that the Company believes will grow in demand and
which can be provided on a cost effective, high revenue growth basis. The
Company believes that it is well positioned to compete effectively with
alternate site providers of outpatient services because its acute care hospitals
are able to offer a broader range of services at competitive prices.
 
     COST REDUCTION.  An important component of the Company's strategy is to
position itself as a low cost provider of health care services in each of its
markets. As cost containment pressures increase, the Company will continue to
implement programs designed to improve financial performance and efficiency.
These programs include: (i) monitoring and adjusting staffing levels and
equipment usage in response to resource consumption; (ii) more efficient use of
professional and paraprofessional staff such as nurses and nurses' aides; (iii)
renegotiation of purchasing contracts and revision of purchasing practices to
take advantage of volume purchasing and low cost, quality products; (iv)
improving patient management and reporting procedures; (v) improving the
collection and sharing of utilization and patient mix data with providers,
employers and payors; and (vi) more efficient billing and collection procedures.
In addition, the Company intends to take advantage of reductions in corporate
overhead and other economies of scale from the Mergers and any future
acquisitions. The Company estimates realizing annualized operating cost savings
of approximately $15 million from improved operating efficiencies resulting from
the Mergers.
 
     COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES.  The Company intends to continue to implement
specialty programs on a selective basis to maintain and enhance the range and
quality of its health care services. The Company focuses on the particular needs
of each community it serves and tailors its services based upon local conditions
and the Company's ability to provide such services on a competitive basis.
Examples of specialty services provided by
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   25
 
the Company in response to local demand include rehabilitation services, home
health services, AIDS treatment, cardiac surgery, weight loss services, pain
treatment programs and women's health clinics. In designing and implementing
such programs, the Company analyzes general demographic information and specific
demand data generated by its hospitals, and seeks to work with physicians,
employers and other members of the local community.
 
     MODERNIZATION OF FACILITIES.  The Company believes that maintaining and
modernizing its facilities is an important means of continuing revenue and
market share growth. After giving pro forma effect to the Mergers, the Company's
capital expenditures have totalled approximately $200 million over the past
three fiscal years. Such spending resulted in hospital renovations and equipment
purchases to expand and enhance the Company's range of services, as well as
customary equipment replacement. In addition, such expenditures have expanded
high growth outpatient facilities and other specialty services, including
outpatient surgery and home health services. The Company believes that capital
expenditures (exclusive of hospital acquisitions) during the 12 months following
the Mergers will not exceed $75 million, and will be used for expansion of
services at existing facilities and the replacement of outdated equipment.
 
     MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS.  The Company believes that the ability to
collect and analyze information on the quality of care and to develop
appropriate responses thereto is critical to achieving growth in the managed
care environment. Prior to the Mergers, the Company, Summit and AHM each
designed or successfully implemented systems which measure selected outcome
quality indicators and identify needed improvements to patient care. For
example, these systems help identify and track quality indicators such as
unplanned transfers to intensive care units and returns to the operating room.
The Company utilizes this information, which is shared with physicians and other
health care professionals, to develop improved protocols of care and to direct
treatment to the most appropriate level of care. The Company is consolidating
its quality and utilization system with that of each of AHM and Summit to
enhance its operational efficiency and reduce costs.
 
OPERATIONS
 
  Health Care Facilities
 
     The Company operates 45 general acute care hospitals, one psychiatric
hospital and four surgery centers in 15 states, primarily in the southern and
western United States, and has a significant presence in several large markets.
The Company operates 14 hospitals in the greater Los Angeles, California area,
and, therefore, believes that it is able to offer high quality, cost-effective
health care services by integrating its primary and tertiary care facilities in
the area. The recently completed acquisition of Fountain Valley has added to the
Company's presence in the greater Los Angeles, California area. In Phoenix,
Arizona, the Company operates two hospitals, two surgery centers and the
Medicaid HMO which provides services under a fixed price contract expiring on
September 30, 1994. The Company operates five hospitals in Florida and seven
hospitals in Texas. The Company also operates hospitals in the following states:
Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee,
Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. In addition, the Company owns or leases
all or a substantial part of over 50 medical office buildings located in
proximity to its hospitals. All of the Company's hospitals are accredited by the
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (except for one
hospital which is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association) and are
certified for participation in the Medicare and Medicaid program.
 
     The Company owns all outstanding shares of two series of redeemable
preferred stock of Houston Northwest Medical Center ("Houston Northwest"), a
tertiary medical complex and trauma center located in Houston with 494 licensed
beds. The preferred stock has a redemption value of $62.5 million plus accrued
and unpaid dividends. In addition, the Company has a mortgage note receivable
from an affiliate of Houston Northwest with a balance of $8.2 million as of May
31, 1994. The Company also owns 43% of Horizon Mental Health Services, Inc.,
which at May 31, 1994 operated 60 specialty psychiatric units at various
hospitals in the United States.

  Sources of Revenue
 
     The Company receives payment for health care services from (i) the federal
government under the Medicare program, (ii) state governments under their
respective Medicaid programs, (iii) managed care operators, including health
maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations, (iv) other
private insurance payors and (v) patients directly. The following table sets
forth the approximate percentages of combined total gross operating revenue of
the Company, Summit and AHM from the sources indicated for each of their three
most recently completed fiscal years:

</TABLE>
 
     Amounts received under Medicare, Medicaid and from managed care
organizations and certain other private insurers generally are less than the
hospital's customary charges for the services provided. Patients are not
generally responsible for any differences between customary charges and amounts
reimbursed under these programs for such services, but are responsible to the
extent of any exclusions, deductibles or co-insurance features of their
coverage. In recent years, the Company's facilities have experienced an increase
in the amount of such exclusions, deductibles and co-insurance. In addition, the
major governmental and private purchasers of health care are increasingly
negotiating the amounts they will pay for services performed, and managed care
operators, which offer prepaid and discounted medical service packages,
represent a growing segment of health care payors. The Company believes that its
recent acquisition activity, together with the business strategies described
above, will position the Company to compete more effectively in this changing
environment.
 
  Medical Staffs and Employees
 
     As of May 31, 1994, the Company had approximately 20,000 employees. In
addition, as of such date, approximately 15,000 active licensed physicians were
members of the medical staffs of the Company's facilities. Medical staff members
are generally independent contractors and not employees of the hospital.
However, a patient is usually admitted to a hospital only at the request of a
member of the medical staff. Medical staff members may also serve on the staffs
of other nearby hospitals.
 
     Each of the Company's hospitals is managed on a day-to-day basis by a
hospital chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company has
implemented incentive compensation programs designed to reward hospital
management personnel for accomplishing established performance goals.
 
     The Company provides a variety of management services to its hospitals,
including information systems, human resource management, reimbursement, finance
and technical accounting support, purchasing support, legal and tax services and
construction management. The Company establishes fiscal and accounting policies
at the corporate level for use at each of its facilities.

                            DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
 
     The Notes are to be issued under an indenture dated as of August 23, 1994
(the "Indenture") among the Company, Summit and NationsBank of Tennessee, N.A.,
as Trustee (the "Trustee"), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The following summary
of certain provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture. Wherever particular
sections or defined terms of the Indenture are referred to, such sections or
defined terms are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined below or elsewhere in this Prospectus have the meanings given
to them in the Indenture.
 
GENERAL
 
     The Notes represent unsecured general joint and several obligations of the
Co-Obligors subordinate in right of payment to certain other debt obligations of
the Co-Obligors, as described below under "Subordination," and are limited to
$125 million in aggregate principal amount. The Notes are issuable only in
registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or any integral
multiple thereof.
 
MATURITY, INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL
 
     The Notes will mature on August 15, 2004. Interest on the Notes will be
payable in cash semi-annually, in arrears, on each February 15 and August 15
(each an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing February 15, 1995, to the Persons
in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the
preceding February 1 and August 1 (each an "Interest Record Date"). Interest
will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided
for, from the original date of issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Notes will bear interest until
maturity at the rate of 11 3/8% per annum.
 
     Principal and premium, if any, and interest on each Note will be payable,
and the Notes may be presented for transfer or exchange, at the office or agency
of the Co-Obligors maintained for such purpose. At the option of the
Co-Obligors, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to registered
holders of the Notes at the addresses set forth on the registry books maintained
by the Trustee, which will initially act as registrar for the Notes. No service
charge will be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but
the Co-Obligors may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Unless otherwise
designated by the Co-Obligors, the Co-Obligors' office or agency will be the
corporate trust office of the Trustee.
 
REDEMPTION
 
     The Notes may not be redeemed prior to August 15, 1999. The Company, at its
option, may redeem the Notes as a whole, or from time to time in part, on or
after August 15, 1999 at a redemption price equal to 105.69% of principal
amount, declining ratably to par on August 15, 2002 (in each case together with
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date).
 
     If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select,
by lot or pro rata or as otherwise directed by the Company in a manner which is
appropriate and fair, the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed. Notes may be
redeemed in part in multiples of $1,000 principal amount only. The Notes will
not have the benefit of any sinking fund.
 
     Notice of redemption will be sent, by first-class mail, at least 30 days
and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to each holder
of Notes to be redeemed at the last address for such holder then shown on the
registry books. Any notice that relates to a Note to be redeemed only in part
shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed and that on and
after the redemption date, upon surrender of the Note, a new Note or Notes will
be issued in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. On and
after the redemption date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of
such Notes at the redemption price, together with accrued interest to the
redemption date), interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or part thereof
called for redemption.

SUBORDINATION
 
     Payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes is expressly
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash
of all Senior Debt (as defined), whether outstanding upon the issuance of the
Notes or thereafter incurred. In addition, as a result of the holding company
structures of the Company and Summit, the creditors of the Co-Obligors,
including the holders of the Notes, effectively rank junior to all creditors of
the Company's Subsidiaries (other than Summit, but including Summit's
subsidiaries). As of May 31, 1994, the amount of Senior Debt and obligations of
the Company's subsidiaries (excluding intercompany indebtedness) that
effectively ranked senior to the Notes was $622.4 million. As of May 31, 1994,
after giving pro forma effect to the acquisition of Fountain Valley, the
Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds,"
and assuming the repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, the amount
of Senior Debt and obligations of the Company's Subsidiaries (excluding
intercompany indebtedness) that effectively ranked senior to the Notes would
have been approximately $603.0 million. The Notes will rank pari passu in right
of payment to the Company's 12 1/4% Notes and the 10 1/4% Notes. As of May 31,
1994, there was $500 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness
outstanding which would rank pari passu in right of payment to the Notes. As of
May 31, 1994, after giving pro forma effect to the Offering and the use of the
proceeds therefrom and the acquisition of Fountain Valley and assuming the
Company's repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, there would have been
$400 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding which would
rank pari passu in right of payment to the Notes. The 10 1/4% Notes are the
joint and several obligations of the Company and AHM Acquisition Co., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, and, therefore, holders of any of the 10 1/4%
Notes outstanding following the Change of Control Offer will be entitled to
satisfy their claims out of the assets of AHM Acquisition Co. prior to holders
of the Notes. AHM Acquisition Co. owns substantially all of the operations
acquired by the Company from AHM in the AHM Merger. Subject to certain
restrictions contained in the Bank Credit Facility, the Indenture and certain
other indebtedness, the Co-Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries are
permitted to incur additional indebtedness, including Senior Debt. Additionally,
the indenture governing the Notes does not prohibit the Company from
transferring or disposing of the assets of Summit, and thereby diminishing the
assets available to satisfy the claims of holders of the Notes against Summit.
 
     The Indenture provides that no payment or distribution of cash, property or
securities of the Co-Obligors will be made on account of principal of, or
interest on the Notes, or to defease or acquire any of the Notes or on account
of the redemption provisions of the Notes, (a) upon the maturity of any Senior
Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, until all Senior Debt shall
first be paid in full in cash, or such payments have been duly made in a manner
satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt or (b) if the Co-Obligors
default in the payment of any principal of, premium if any, or interest on or
other amounts payable on or in connection with any Senior Debt when it becomes
due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by
declaration or otherwise, unless and until such default has been cured or waived
in writing or has ceased to exist; provided, however, that the Co-Obligors may
make such payment or distribution in respect of the Notes without regard to the
foregoing if the Co-Obligors and the Trustee receive written notice from the
Senior Agent and any other Senior Representatives approving such payment.
 
     Upon the happening of an event of default (or if an event of default would
result upon any payment with respect to the Notes) with respect to any
Designated Senior Debt, as such event of default is defined in the Bank Credit
Facility and in any other instrument evidencing the Designated Senior Debt or
under which it is outstanding, permitting holders thereof to accelerate its
maturity (if the default is other than a default in payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on or other amount due in connection with such
Designated Senior Debt), upon written notice of such event of default to the
Trustee and the Co-Obligors by the Senior Agent on behalf of the Lenders or by
any Senior Representative for the holders of such other Designated Senior Debt,
then outstanding, then, unless and until such event of default has been cured,
waived in writing, or has ceased to exist, and no event of default exists under
any other Designated Senior Debt or any other event of default has also been
waived in writing or has ceased to exist, no payment or distribution of cash,
property or securities of the Co-Obligors will be made by the Co-Obligors with
respect to the principal of, or interest on the Notes or to defease or acquire
any of the Notes or on account of the redemption
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   35
 
provisions of the Notes; provided that nothing in the above-described provision
will prevent the making of any payment for a period of more than 180 days after
the date written notice of the event of default is given unless the payment
thereof would be prohibited by the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph. If, upon the expiration of such 180-day period, the payment thereof
would not be prohibited by the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph, promptly after the end of such 180-day period, the Co-Obligors will
pay to the Trustee all sums not paid in respect of the Notes during such 180-day
period. During any consecutive 360-day period, only one 180-day period may
commence during which payment of principal of or interest on the Notes may not
be made and the duration of such period may not exceed 180 days.
 
     Upon any distribution of assets of the Co-Obligors upon any dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Co-Obligors (whether voluntary
or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
related to the Co-Obligors or their respective property or upon an assignment
for the benefit of creditors or otherwise): (a) the holders of all Senior Debt
will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt and
other amounts due in connection with Senior Debt before the holders of Notes are
entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character on
account of principal of or interest on the Notes; (b) any payment or
distribution of assets of the Co-Obligors, whether in cash, Property or
securities, to which the holders of the Notes or the Trustee on behalf of the
holders would be entitled except for the subordination provisions of the
Indenture, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person
making such a payment or distribution directly to the holders of Senior Debt or
their respective Senior Agent or Senior Representatives to the extent necessary
to make payment in full of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect
to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holder of such Senior Debt; and
(c) if, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of
assets of the Co-Obligors of any kind or character, whether in cash, Property or
securities is received by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes or any paying
agent on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes before
all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, or effective provision made for its
payment in cash, such payment or distribution will be received and held in trust
for and will be promptly paid over to the holders of the Senior Debt which
remains unpaid or to their respective Senior Agent or Senior Representative for
application to the payment of such Senior Debt (pro rata as to each of such
holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt which is held by
them) until all such Senior Debt is paid in full in cash. Nothing in the
Indenture or in the Notes, however, affects the joint and several obligations of
the Co-Obligors, which are unconditional and absolute, to pay the principal of
and interest on the Notes as and when they became due and payable in accordance
with their terms.
 
     By reason of the subordination provisions described above, in certain
events funds that would otherwise by payable to holders of Notes will be paid to
holders of Senior Debt to the extent necessary to pay the Senior Debt in full.
As result, the Co-Obligors may not be able to fully meet their obligations with
respect to the Notes.
 
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
 
     The Indenture contains, among other things, the following covenants:
 
  Change of Control
 
     Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined under "-- Certain
Definitions") (the "Change of Control Date"), each holder of a Note shall have
the right to require the repurchase of such Noteholder's Notes pursuant to the
offer described in the next paragraph (the "Change of Control Offer") at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Prior to the mailing of the
notice to Noteholders provided for below but in any event within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company covenants to (i) repay in full in
cash any Designated Senior Debt which by its terms would require such repayment
or to offer to repay in full in cash all such Debt and to repay the Debt of each
Person who has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the requisite consents under
such Designated Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided
for in the immediately following paragraph. The Company shall first comply with
the covenant in the preceding sentence before it shall be required to repurchase
Notes pursuant to this covenant.
 
     Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail or
at the Company's request the Trustee shall mail a notice to each Noteholder
stating: (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   36
 
pursuant to this covenant and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for
payment; (ii) the purchase price and the purchase date (which shall be no
earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed)
(the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (iii) that any Note not tendered will
continue to accrue interest; (iv) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of
Control Payment Date; (v) that Noteholders electing to have a Note purchased
pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note,
with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of
the Note completed, to the Trustee at the address specified in the notice prior
to the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date; (vi) that
Noteholders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee receives,
not later than the close of business on the third Business Day (or such shorter
period as may be required by applicable law) preceding the Change of Control
Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth
the name of the Noteholder, the principal amount of Notes the Noteholder
delivered for purchase and a statement that such Noteholder is withdrawing his
election to have such Notes purchased; and (vii) that Noteholders whose Notes
are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal
to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. In the event a Change of
Control occurs and the holders of Notes exercise their right to require the
Company to repurchase Notes, and assuming that such a repurchase constitutes a
"tender offer" for purposes of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), at the time it is required, the Company will
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 as then in effect and any other
applicable securities law or regulations with respect to such repurchase.
 
     On the Change of Control Payment Date, subject to the "Subordination"
Article of the Indenture, the Company will (i) accept for payment the Notes or
portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit
with the Trustee money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all the Notes or
portions thereof so tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, Notes so accepted together with an officers' certificate describing the
Notes or portions thereof tendered to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly
mail to each holder of the Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the
purchase price of such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and
mail to such holder a new Note in the principal amount equal to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered by such Noteholder. The Company will publicly
announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable
after the Change of Control Payment Date.

any time outstanding not to exceed $700 million; (iii) Debt incurred for working

to be outstanding under the Credit Agreement pursuant to clause (ii); (iv) Debt
of the Company to any Consolidated Subsidiary or of any Consolidated Subsidiary

is issued at a discount in which case the issuance price of such discount Debt
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   37
 
shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt being so refinanced) plus the
amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument
governing such Debt being refinanced or the amount of any premium reasonably
determined by the Company as necessary to accomplish such refinancing through
means of a tender offer or privately negotiated transactions and, in each case,
actually paid, (b) altering the issuer or obligor (except that the Company may
incur Debt to replace Debt of a Subsidiary), or (c) shortening the maturity of
subordinated debt and (xv) Debt, other than Debt permitted under clauses (i)
through (xiii), provided that the aggregate principal amount (or liquidation
preference) of such Debt may not exceed $125 million at any time outstanding,
which Debt may be incurred under the Credit Agreement.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries may create, incur or assume Debt (including Acquisition Debt) if,
at the time such Debt is so created, incurred or assumed and after giving effect
thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof, and after giving pro forma
effect to any acquisition or disposition by the Company or any Subsidiary of (i)
a hospital or (ii) any assets with a value in excess of $10 million, whether by
merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, as if such
acquisition or disposition occurred on the first day of the Reference Period,
the Company's Pro Forma Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the
period beginning on the date of the Indenture through August 31, 1995 and 2.25
to 1.0 thereafter; provided that, if the Company and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries are unable to incur or assume Acquisition Debt pursuant to the
foregoing clause the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries may nonetheless
create, incur, or assume Acquisition Debt so long as, after giving effect
thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof, and after giving pro forma
effect to any acquisition or disposition by the Company or any Subsidiary of (i)
a hospital or (ii) any assets with a value in excess of $10 million, whether by
merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, as if such
acquisition or disposition occurred on the first day of the Reference Period,
the Company's Pro Forma Coverage Ratio (i) is not less than 2.0 to 1.0 and (ii)
is not less than the ratio of the Company's Consolidated Cash Flow to Fixed
Charges (applying the provisions of clauses (2) and (3) of the definition of Pro
Forma Coverage Ratio) for the period with respect to which the Pro Forma
Coverage Ratio was calculated.
 
  Limitation on Restricted Payments
 
     The Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly make any Restricted Payment, if,
after giving effect thereto: (i) an Event of Default, or an event that through
the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of
Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Company could not incur
an additional $1.00 of Debt (other than permitted Debt) in accordance with the
"Limitation on Debt" covenant or (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted
Payments made by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the amount expended or
distributed for such purposes, if other than in cash, to be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors) from and after the Closing Date shall exceed
the sum of: (a) the aggregate of 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the
Company (determined by excluding any amounts included in such Consolidated Net
Income which were received by the Company or a Subsidiary from an Unrestricted
Subsidiary) accrued for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing
with the first full month after the Closing Date to and including the first full
month ending immediately prior to the date of such calculation (or, in the event
Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, then minus 100% of such deficit), (b) the
aggregate net proceeds to the Company, including the fair market value of
property other than cash (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors), received by the Company from the issuance or sale (other than to a
Subsidiary of the Company) of its capital stock (other than Redeemable Stock)
from and after the date of the Indenture, and options, warrants and rights to
purchase its capital stock other than Redeemable Stock and (c) the aggregate
amount received by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company from its
Unrestricted Subsidiaries (excluding all amounts received by the Company or any
Subsidiary from all such Unrestricted Subsidiaries which represent a repayment
of the principal portion of any loan or advance or any return of contributed
capital in respect of any previous advance).
 
     The foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) will not prevent Permitted
Payments and the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) will not prevent (a) the
payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of its declaration if such
dividend could have been made on the date of its declaration in compliance with
the foregoing provisions, (b) amounts payable by the Company to its employees
pursuant to the Stock Appreciation Rights
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   38
 
and (c) the repurchase or redemption of shares of capital stock from any
officer, director or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose
employment has been terminated or who has died or become disabled in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $7.5 million per annum.
 
  Limitation on Liens Securing Debt
 
     The Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any
of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to create, incur, assume or permit
to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Property of the Company or
any such Subsidiary, whether owned at the date of the Indenture or thereafter
acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom, to secure any Debt which is
pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes unless the Notes
are secured equally and ratably simultaneously with or prior to the creation,
incurrence or assumption of such Lien.
 
     This restriction does not apply to, and does not give the Noteholder any
rights in respect of the creation, incurrence, assumption or existence of any,
(i) Liens existing on the date of the Indenture and renewals and extensions
thereof; (ii) Liens granted to secure obligations under or in respect of the
Credit Agreement; (iii) rights of banks to set off deposits against debts owed
to said banks; (iv) Purchase Money Obligations incurred in the normal and
ordinary course of the Company's business; (v) Liens in respect of Debt incurred
in connection with the sale of receivables; and (vi) Liens on the Property of
any entity existing at the time such Property is acquired by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or
otherwise; provided in the case of this clause (vi) that such Liens (x) are not
created, incurred or assumed in contemplation of such assets being acquired by
the Company and (y) do not extend to any other assets of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.
 
  Limitation on Restricting Subsidiary Dividends
 
     The Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume or suffer to exist any consensual
encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary to pay dividends or
otherwise transfer assets or make loans to the Company or any other Subsidiary,
except (i) those contained in the Credit Agreement; (ii) consensual encumbrances
or restrictions binding upon any Person at the time that such Person becomes a
Subsidiary of the Company so long as such encumbrances or restrictions are not
created, incurred or assumed in contemplation of such Person becoming a
Subsidiary of the Company; (iii) restrictions contained in security agreements
permitted by the Indenture securing Debt permitted by the Indenture to the
extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of Property subject to such
security agreements; (iv) any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary
non-assignment provisions in leases to the extent such provisions restrict the
transfer of the leases; (v) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an
agreement in effect at or entered into on the date of this Indenture; or (vi)
any encumbrance or restriction relating to a Permitted Joint Venture or (vii)
any restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement
which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially
all the capital stock or assets of such Subsidiary.
 
  Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates
 
     The Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transactions with Affiliates of the
Company unless (i) such transactions are between or among the Company and its
Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, (ii) such transactions are in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or (iii) the terms
of such transactions are fair and reasonable to the Company or such Subsidiary
or Unrestricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and are at least as favorable as
the terms which could be obtained by the Company or such Subsidiary or
Unrestricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on
an arm's-length basis between unaffiliated parties. In the event of any
transaction or series of transactions occurring subsequent to the date of the
Indenture with an Affiliate of the Company which involves in excess of $5
million and is not permitted under clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence,
the majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors shall by
resolution determine that such transaction or series of transactions meets the
criteria set forth in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence; provided, further,
that if such transaction or series of transactions involves in excess of $10
million and is not permitted under clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence,
the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally
recognized investment firm to the effect that such
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   39
 
business or transaction is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such provisions do not prohibit (i) the making of
Physician Support Obligations, (ii) transactions with Permitted Joint Ventures
or (iii) the payment of regular fees to directors of the Company who are not
employees of the Company.
 
  Limitation on Other Subordinated Debt
 
     The Indenture provides that the Company is prohibited from incurring any
Debt which is by its terms subordinate in right of payment to any Senior Debt
and senior in right of payment to the Notes.
 
LIMITATION ON CONSOLIDATION AND MERGER
 
     The Indenture provides that the Company may not consolidate with or merge
with or into another Person or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of
its assets to another Person unless: (i)(a) the Company is the continuing
corporation in the case of a merger or (b) the resulting, surviving or
transferee person (the "Surviving Entity") is a corporation or partnership
organized under the laws of the United States, one of the states thereof or the
District of Columbia and shall expressly assume by supplemental indenture
(satisfactory in form to the Trustee) all of the obligations of the Company
under the Indenture and the Notes; (ii) no Event of Default (or event or
condition which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of
Default) shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after giving effect
to such transaction; (iii) the Net Worth of the Company or the Surviving Entity,
as the case may be, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such
consolidation, merger or sale, lease or conveyance of assets is at least as
great as the Net Worth of the Company immediately prior to the date of the
transaction, and (iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the
Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, would be able to incur $1
of additional Debt (other than permitted debt) under the "Limitation on Debt"
covenant.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (iii) and (iv) shall not prohibit a
transaction, the principal purpose of which is (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company and evidenced by a resolution thereof) to
change the state of incorporation of the Company, and such transaction does not
have as one of its purposes the evasion of the restrictions of this section.
 
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES
 
     The Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to amend or supplement
the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or modify the rights of the holders
of the Notes, in certain cases without the consent of holders of the Notes and
in general with consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, provided that no such modification,
amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of holders of all
Notes then outstanding, (a) extend the final maturity of any Note, or reduce the
principal amount thereof (including the amount payable upon redemption), reduce
the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or impair or affect
the right of any holder of Notes to institute suit for the payment of any of the
Notes, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the consent of holders
of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
 
     The Indenture defines an Event of Default as being: (a) any failure to pay
an installment of interest on the Notes as and when the same becomes due and
payable, and the continuance of such failure for 30 days; (b) failure to pay all
or any part of the principal on the Notes when and as the same shall become due
and payable at maturity, redemption, by declaration or otherwise; (c) failure by
the Company duly to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in
the Notes or the Indenture and the continuance of such failure for a period of
60 days after written notice specifying such failure and demanding that the
Company remedy the same shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or
to the Company and the Trustee by holders of at least 40% in aggregate principal
amount of Notes then outstanding; (d) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization in respect of the Company or any of the Company's Material
Subsidiaries; (e) any acceleration of the maturity of Debt of the Company or any
of its Material Subsidiaries or a failure to pay any such Debt at its stated
maturity, or (upon demand for payment) under any guarantee of payment by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Debt, whether such Debt or guarantee
existed at the
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   40
 
Closing Date or was thereafter created, aggregating at least $25 million,
provided that such acceleration or failure to pay is not cured or waived within
10 days after such acceleration or failure to pay; and (f) final judgments not
covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $10 million rendered against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and not stayed or discharged within 60 days
after such judgments become final and nonappealable. The Indenture provides that
if a default (the term "default" for purposes of this provision being defined as
any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would
be, an Event of Default) occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the
Trustee, the Trustee must, within 90 days after the occurrence of such default,
give to the holders of Notes notice of such default, provided that, except in
the case of a default in payment of principal or interest in respect of such
Notes, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good
faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
holders of Notes.
 
     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than an Event
of Default described in clause (d) of the preceding paragraph relating to the
Company), unless the principal of all the Notes shall have already become due
and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by holders of Notes) (the "Acceleration
Notice"), may declare the principal of all Notes and the interest accrued
thereon to be due and payable (i) immediately if no Designated Senior Debt is
outstanding or (ii) if any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, upon the
earlier of (x) 10 days after such Acceleration Notice is received by the Senior
Agent and each Senior Representative with respect to Designated Senior Debt at
their last address specified by the Company pursuant to the "Notice" Section of
the Indenture or (y) the acceleration of such Designated Senior Debt, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become due and payable on the date specified
in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), as applicable; provided, that (a) prior to
the expiration of such period, such acceleration shall be automatically
rescinded and annulled without further action required on the part of the
holders in the event that any default specified in the Acceleration Notice under
the Notes shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied and (b) at any
time before the entry of a judgment or decree or the payment of moneys due under
the Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes may waive all defaults except (i) a default in the payment of principal or
interest on the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof
which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of the
Note affected. If an Event of Default specified in clause (d) above relating to
the Company occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on all outstanding
Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of Notes.
 
     The provisions described in the preceding paragraph, however, are subject
to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall
have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the
payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the Company or
Summit shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest upon all the Notes and the principal of any and
all Notes which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with
interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the
rate borne by the Notes, to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount
as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all
other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee
and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence of bad faith, and
if any and all Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Notes which shall have become due be
acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided in
the Indenture then and in every such case, holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall
extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
 
     Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding may waive on behalf of all the holders of Notes any past default, or
Event of Default, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on
any Notes or a default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   41
 
the holder of each outstanding Note affected. The Trustee is under no obligation
to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the holders of Notes, unless such holders of Notes have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all the
provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee.
 
     The Company is required to furnish the Trustee, within 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year, an officers' certificate to the effect that such
officers have conducted, or supervised, a review of the activities of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and of performance under the Indenture and that, to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on their review, the Co-Obligors
have fulfilled all their obligations under the Indenture, or, if there has been
a default, specifying each default known to them, its nature and its status.
 
DEFEASANCE
 
     Under the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the Company, at its option,
(a) will be Discharged (as defined in the Indenture) from any and all
obligations in respect of the Notes (except in each case for certain obligations
to register the transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated
Notes, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) or (b)
need not comply with certain specified covenants of the Indenture nor be subject
to the operation of the cross acceleration provision described under "Events of
Default and Remedies," in each case, if the Company irrevocably deposits with
the Trustee, in trust, money or U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the
Indenture) which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay
the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates such payments are due in
accordance with the terms of the Notes.
 
     To exercise the option under clause (a) above, the Company is required to
deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel, based upon a ruling of the
Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable Federal income tax law
occurring after the date of this Prospectus, that the holders of the Notes will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such defeasance had not occurred. No opinion of counsel is required to effect a
defeasance under clause (b) above and, under current Federal income tax law, a
defeasance under clause (b) may be treated as a taxable exchange of the Notes
for an interest in the trust. If a taxable exchange is deemed to have occurred,
each Noteholder would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the
Noteholder's cost or other tax basis for the Notes and the value of the
Noteholder's interest in the trust, and thereafter would be required to include
in income his share of the income, gain and loss of the trust. Other
characterizations of a defeasance under clause (b) are also possible.
Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the
specific consequences of such a defeasance.
 
     In the event the Company exercises its option under clause (b) of the
second preceding paragraph and the Notes are declared due and payable because of
the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than the cross acceleration
provisions described under "Events of Default and Remedies" which will be
inapplicable), the amount of money and U.S. Government Obligations on deposit
with the Trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the Notes at the time
of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the
Notes at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default.
However, the Company shall remain liable for such payments.
 
     If the Credit Agreement is in effect, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee any required consent of the Senior Agent or the Lenders to the
transactions contemplated by the provision on "Defeasance."
 
REPORTS
 
     So long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the
holders thereof such quarterly and annual financial reports that the Company is
required to file with the SEC under the 1934 Act or similar reports in the event
the Company is not at the time required to file such reports with the SEC.

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
 
     In addition to the terms defined above, the Indenture contains, among other
things, the following definitions:
 
          "Acquisition Debt" means (i) Debt or Preferred Stock of any Person
     existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company,
     including but not limited to Debt or Preferred Stock incurred or created in
     connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Subsidiary
     of the Company (but excluding Debt of such Person which is extinguished,
     retired or repaid in connection with such Person becoming a Subsidiary of
     the Company), (ii) Debt incurred or created by the Company or any of its
     Subsidiaries in connection with the transaction or series of transactions
     pursuant to which such Person became a Subsidiary of the Company or (iii)

     operating unit or business of another Person.
 
          "Affiliate" of any Person means any other Person directly or
     indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
     control with such Person. For the purposes of this definition, "control"
     when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the
     management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether
     through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and
     the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the
     foregoing.
 
          "Attributable Debt" in respect of a sale-leaseback transaction means,
     at the time of determination, the present value (discounted at the interest
     rate implicit in the lease, compounded semiannually) of the obligation of
     the lessee of the property or asset subject to such sale-leaseback
     transaction for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease
     included in such transaction including any period for which such lease has
     been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended or until the
     earliest date on which the lessee may terminate such lease without penalty
     or upon payment of penalty (in which case the rental payments shall include
     such penalty), after excluding all amounts required to be paid on account
     of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water, utilities
     and similar charges. For purposes of the foregoing, a "sale-leaseback
     transaction" means an arrangement with any lender or investor or to which
     such lender or investor is a party providing for the leasing by a Person of
     any property or asset which has been or is being sold or transferred by
     such Person more than 270 days after the acquisition thereof or the
     completion of construction or commencement of operation thereof to such
     lender or investor or to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be

     other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to
     any Person or entity or group of Persons or entities acting in concert as a

     Littlejohn & Levy Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its
     Affiliates or (b) Charles N. Martin, Jr. and his Affiliates, (ii) during
     any period of two consecutive calendar years, individuals who at the
     beginning of such period constituted the Company's Board of Directors
     (together with any new directors whose election by the Company's Board of
     Directors or whose nomination for election by the Company's shareholders
     was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still
     in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or

     meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company
     or the entity surviving the merger or consolidation representing 50% or
     more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the

     The Underwriters have advised the Co-Obligors that they propose to offer
the Notes for sale from time to time in one or more negotiated transactions or
otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
such market prices or at negotiated prices. The Underwriters may effect such
transactions by selling the Notes to or through dealers, and such dealers may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Underwriters or purchasers of the Notes for whom they may
act as agent. Any dealers that participate with the Underwriters in the
distribution of the Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or
commissions received by them or the Underwriters and any profit on the resale of
the Notes by them or the Underwriters may be deemed to be underwriting discounts
or commissions, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
 
     There is no public market for the Notes and the Co-Obligors do not intend
to list the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation through NASDAQ.
The Co-Obligors have been advised by the Underwriters that, following the
completion of the offering of the Notes, the Underwriters presently intend to
make a market in the Notes. However, the Underwriters are under no obligation to
do so and may discontinue any market making activities at any time without
notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for
the Notes or that an active public market for the Notes will develop or, if
developed, will continue. If an active public market does not develop or is not
maintained, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely
affected.
 
     The Co-Obligors have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
     Each of the Underwriters, from time to time, performs investment banking
and other financial services for the Company. In addition, Citicorp USA Inc., an
affiliate of Citicorp Securities, Inc., is a managing agent and a lender to the
Company under the Bank Credit Facility.
 
     Under the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), when more than 10% of the net proceeds of a public
offering of debt securities are to be paid to NASD members participating in the
distribution of the offering or associated or affiliated persons of such
members, the yield at which the debt securities are distributed to the public
must be no lower than that recommended by a "qualified independent underwriter"
meeting certain standards. Citicorp USA Inc., an affiliate of Citicorp
Securities, Inc., will in the aggregate receive more than 10% of the net
proceeds from the Offering as a result of the use of proceeds by the Company to
repay loans made under the revolving facility of the Bank Credit Facility. See
"Use of Proceeds." Accordingly, Merrill Lynch has agreed to act as the qualified
independent underwriter in connection with the Offering. The yield on the Notes
when sold will be no lower than that recommended by Merrill Lynch.

              UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET
 
     The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Mergers,
the acquisition of Fountain Valley, the Offering and the use of proceeds
therefrom and assumes the repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer by
combining (i) the balance sheet of the Company at May 31, 1994; and (ii) the
balance sheet of Fountain Valley at April 30, 1994. The pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet gives effect to the Summit Merger at April 19, 1994 and
all other transactions as if they had been consummated on May 31, 1994. Because
the Company accounted for the AHM Merger as a pooling-of-interests transaction,
the Company's historical financial data include AHM's balance sheet data and
results of operations for all periods presented. The pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet is presented for comparative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of what the combined financial position would have been
had the transactions assumed therein in fact occurred at the times assumed. The
pro forma condensed combined balance sheet should be read in conjunction with
the respective historical financial statements of the Company, Summit and
Fountain Valley incorporated by reference or included herein.

     The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the Company's
repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4%
Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. As of July 18, 1994, the
expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, 99.3% of the 10 1/4% Notes have
been tendered and were purchased by the Company on July 19, 1994 pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer. The difference between the amount tendered and the
amount assumed in the pro forma adjustment has an immaterial impact on the pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet.

NOTE 5
 
     As of May 31, 1994, the Company had 1.3 million shares of $.01 par value
Payable In Kind Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "PIK
Preferred Stock") outstanding with an aggregate liquidation value of $19.3
million. Although the Company has received a financing commitment to enable the
Company to redeem the PIK Preferred Stock, the Company has not decided whether
to redeem the PIK Preferred Stock. Moreover, the PIK Preferred Stock is
convertible into the Company's Common Stock on a share for share basis.
Accordingly, because the PIK Preferred Stock redemption price is $15 per share,
the Company believes that if the Company's Common Stock price exceeds $15 per
share on the redemption date the holders of PIK Preferred Stock will convert
into the Company's Common Stock rather than accept the redemption price.
 
     If the financing commitment were utilized, pro forma long-term debt would
increase approximately $19.3 million and shareholders' equity would be reduced
$19.3 million. If the holders of PIK Preferred Stock convert to the Company's
Common Stock, the components of shareholders' equity change but total pro forma
shareholders' equity would not change. The redemption of the PIK Preferred Stock
or the conversion of the PIK Preferred Stock into the Company's Common Stock
would not have a material impact on pro forma income.

            UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED INCOME STATEMENT
                     FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1994
 
     The pro forma condensed combined income statement for the nine months ended
May 31, 1994 gives effect to the acquisition of Fountain Valley, the Mergers,
the Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom and assumes the repurchase of
100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer as if such transactions had occurred on September
1, 1992 by combining (i) the results of operations of the Company for the nine
months ended May 31, 1994 (which, because the Company accounted for the AHM
Merger as a pooling-of-interests transaction, includes the results of operations
of AHM); (ii) the results of operations of Summit for the nine months ended
March 31, 1994 (as adjusted to exclude the 43 days included in the results of
operations for OrNda), applying the purchase method of accounting; and (iii) the
results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 and
the results of operations of Fountain Valley for the nine months ended April 30,
1994, applying the purchase method of accounting. This pro forma condensed
combined income statement is presented for comparative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations in the future or of
what the combined results of operations would have been had the transactions
assumed therein been consummated during the period for which this statement is
presented. Pro forma earnings per common and common equivalent share and pro
forma weighted average shares outstanding give effect to the exchange of AHM and
Summit shares of common stock and common stock equivalents for the Company's
Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents as described by the respective merger
agreements. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined income statement does
not give effect to the cost savings, if any, which may be realized by the
Company after consummation of the Mergers or the acquisition of Fountain Valley.
This pro forma condensed combined income statement should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and
Summit incorporated by reference herein, and those of Fountain Valley included
herein.

            UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED INCOME STATEMENT
                       FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 1993
 
    The pro forma condensed combined income statement for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1993 gives effect to the acquisition of Fountain Valley, the Mergers,
the Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom and assumes the repurchase of
100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4% Notes pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer as if such transactions had occurred on September
1, 1992 by combining (i) the results of operations of the Company for the fiscal
year ended August 31, 1993 (adjusted on the pro forma basis to include the
acquisition of Florida Medical Center as described below)) (ii) the results of
operations of the Company for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993 (adjusted as
described below) and the results of operations of Summit for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1993, applying the purchase method of accounting; and, (iii) the
results of operations of the Company for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993
(adjusted as described below) and the results of operations of Fountain Valley
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993, applying the purchase method of
accounting. Because the Company accounted for the AHM Merger as a pooling-of-
interests transaction, the historical financial data of the Company includes the
results of operations of AHM for all periods presented. This pro forma condensed
combined income statement is presented for comparative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations in the future or of
what the combined results of operations would have been had the transaction
assumed therein been consummated during the period for which this statement is
presented. Pro forma earnings per common and common equivalent share and pro
forma weighted average shares outstanding give effect to the exchange of AHM and
Summit shares of common stock and common stock equivalents for the Company's
Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents as described by the respective merger
agreements. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined income statement does
not give effect to the cost savings, if any, which may be realized by the
Company after consummation of the Mergers or the acquisition of Fountain Valley.
 
    The Company acquired Florida Medical Center on June 30, 1993 in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase. The Company's pro forma condensed
combined income statement for the year ended August 31, 1993 reflects the

                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                      CONDENSED COMBINED INCOME STATEMENT
 
NOTE 1
 
     The Company will continue to report its financial information on a fiscal
year basis ending on August 31. The Summit and Fountain Valley results of
operations, which are included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed
combined income statement, have been presented on a fiscal year basis ending on
June 30 and October 31, respectively.
 
     The pro forma condensed combined income statement assumes the Company's
repurchase of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4%
Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. As of July 18, 1994, the
expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, 99.3% of the 10 1/4% Notes have
been tendered and were purchased by the Company on July 19, 1994 pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer. The difference between the amount tendered and the
amount assumed in the pro forma adjustment has an immaterial impact on the pro
forma condensed combined income statement.
 
     The Company acquired Florida Medical Center on June 30, 1993, for an
aggregate purchase price of $113.1 million. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined income statement for the year ended August 31, 1993, reflects the pro
forma operations of the Company as if its acquisition of Florida Medical Center
had occurred on September 1, 1992. The historical results of Florida Medical
Center have been adjusted using purchase accounting to give effect to the
acquisition by the Company and to eliminate the effect of significant
nonrecurring transactions.
 
     The following combined unaudited pro forma condensed income statement for
the year ended August 31, 1993 presents the historical operations of the
Company, and the incremental pro forma operations of Florida Medical Center as
if the acquisition of Florida Medical Center by the Company had occurred on
September 1, 1992.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                  MAY 31, 1994
 
NOTE 1 -- REPORTING ENTITY
 
     OrNda HealthCorp (the "Company" or "OrNda") is incorporated in the State of
Delaware. On April 19, 1994, the Company exchanged shares of its common stock
for all of the outstanding common stock of American Healthcare Management, Inc.
("AHM"), and merged AHM with and into OrNda. The transaction was accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger and
therefore include the combined operations of OrNda and AHM. (see Note 3). Also
on April 19, 1994, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of
Summit Health Ltd. ("Summit") pursuant to a merger of SHL Acquisition Co., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into Summit. The transaction
was accounted for as a purchase (see Note 3).
 
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-and nine-month periods ended May 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 1994. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in OrNda's annual report on Form 10-K/A No. 4 for the
year ended August 31, 1993 and AHM's annual reports on Forms 10-K, as amended,
for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.
 
     Earnings Per Share.  The computation of earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of outstanding shares and dilutive equivalents
outstanding during the period. Dilutive stock equivalents consist of stock
options and warrants representing 1.0 million and 1.1 million equivalent shares
for the three-and nine-month periods ended May 31, 1993, respectively. Prior
year weighted average shares have been restated for the proportionate amount of
AHM's weighted average shares outstanding (see Note 3).
 
NOTE 3 -- MERGER, ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION TRANSACTIONS
 
     On April 19, 1994, the Company completed a merger with AHM, a health care
services company engaged in the operation of general acute care hospitals. AHM
owned or leased 16 hospitals in 9 states, with a total of 2,028 licensed beds.
These hospitals provide a range of medical and surgical inpatient and outpatient
services, with particular focus on primary care services such as obstetrics,
pediatrics and minimally invasive and routine surgeries.
 
     The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Shareholders
of AHM received 0.6 of a share of OrNda common stock, representing 16.6 million
additional OrNda shares issued, in exchange for each share of AHM common stock
held. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger, combining operations of OrNda and AHM for all
periods presented. Because each company had different fiscal year ends, AHM's
net income for September 1993, representing $558,000, is included in reported
net income both for the year ended August 31, 1993 and the nine months ended May
31, 1994. However, retained earnings appropriately reflects September 1993 net
income for only one period. Further, only operating results of OrNda for the
nine months ended May 31, 1993 were combined with operations of AHM for the nine
months ended June 30, 1993. Consequently, the operating results of AHM for the
month of September 1992 are excluded from reported results of the combined
company for the nine

periods (in thousands).

     On April 19, 1994, the Company completed a merger with Summit, a health
care services company engaged in the operation of (i) general acute care
hospitals, (ii) a managed care entity contracting to provide services to the
Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, and (iii) outpatient surgery
centers. Summit owned or leased 12 acute care hospitals in 4 states with a total
of 1,611 licensed beds. These hospitals provide general health care services,
including operating and recovery rooms, diagnostic radiology, intensive care and
coronary care, outpatient services and emergency departments, pharmacies,
clinical laboratories and rehabilitative therapy.
 
     The merger has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to and include the
combined operations of the Company and Summit as of the date of the acquisition.
Summit shareholders received $5.50 in cash and 0.2157 shares of OrNda common
stock for each share of Summit common stock held, representing $192.1 million of
cash paid and 7.5 million additional OrNda shares issued. Furthermore, OrNda
assumed or paid $21.9 million of Summit s debt resulting in a total

acquisition cost of approximately $313.2 million. In connection with the merger
with Summit, $190.1 million of goodwill was recorded by OrNda. This amount is
being amortized over a period of 30 years.
 
     In connection with the mergers, the Company changed the methodologies used
by the previously separate companies to calculate the allowance for doubtful
accounts to conform OrNda and AHM to a single method. The Company also changed
the methodology for recognition of charity care expense. As a result of these
changes, the operations of the Company for the three months ended May 31, 1994
were favorably impacted by $3.3 million.
 
     On June 30, 1993, the Company acquired Florida Medical Center, a 459
licensed-bed hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida, for $113.1 million in cash in
a transaction accounted for as a purchase.
 
     Pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 1993 and the
nine months ended May 31, 1994 assuming the Summit merger and FMC acquisition

     Effective in the third quarter of 1994, the Company's management decided
upon a plan of disposition to sell Decatur Hospital, a 120-bed acute care
hospital located in Decatur, Georgia. Losses relating to the future operations
of the hospital and the loss on sale totalling $9.8 million were recorded in the
third quarter of 1994. On June 10, 1994, the Company completed the sale of the
property, equipment and inventory of the hospital for $6.0 million in cash.

outstanding on May 31, 1994 and of which commitment availability had been
reduced by $13.5 million as a result of issued letters of credit. The proceeds
were used to (i) repay $159.6 million of previously outstanding senior secured
debt; (ii) pay for $192.1 million representing the cash portion of the purchase
price for all of the outstanding shares of Summit Health Ltd.; (iii) acquire
real estate previously leased by Summit Health Ltd., for $65.0 million; (iv)
repay $9.1 million of subsidiary indebtedness; and, (v) pay transaction fees and
expenses. In connection with the extinguishment of the previously outstanding
senior secured debt, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $8.3 million,
net of income tax benefit of $251,000, primarily as a result of the elimination
of related debt issuance costs.
 
     The Credit Agreement consists of the following facilities (the "Senior
Credit Facilities"): (i) a revolving commitment of $200 million maturing April
19, 2000, to refinance certain previously existing senior secured debt, for
general corporate purposes, and to issue up to $30 million of letters of credit,
(ii) a revolving commitment of $100 million maturing April 19, 2000 for
acquisitions and other specified transactions, (iii) a $325 million term loan to
refinance certain previously existing senior secured debt and the cash portion
of the purchase price paid to acquire Summit Health Ltd., payable in
incremental, quarterly installments beginning July 31, 1994 and maturing April
19, 2000, and (iv) a $75 million term loan for specified transactions payable in
incremental quarterly installments beginning January 31, 1995 and maturing April
19, 2000.
 
     Funds advanced under the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding
principal at a fluctuating rate based on either (i) the base rate of the Bank of
Nova Scotia for U.S. Dollar loans in the United States (the "Prime Rate") or
(ii) London Interbank Borrowing Rate ("LIBOR"), as elected from time to time by
the Company. Interest is payable quarterly if a rate based on the Prime Rate is
elected or at the end of the LIBOR period (but in any event not to exceed 90
days) if a rate based on LIBOR is elected. The Company has elected various rates
on the initial borrowings of the Senior Credit Facilities representing a
weighted average annual interest rate at May 31, 1994 of 6.7%.
 
     In certain circumstances, the Company is required to make principal
prepayments on the Senior Credit Facilities, including the receipt of proceeds
from the issuance of additional subordinated indebtedness, certain asset sale
proceeds not used to acquire additional assets within a specified period, and
50% of the proceeds in excess of $50 million from the issuance of additional
equity not used to acquire additional assets within a specific period. The
Company may prepay all or part of the outstanding Senior Credit Facilities
without penalty.
 
     The Credit Agreement limits, under certain circumstances, the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, acquire the
capital stock or assets of another business, or pay dividends. The Credit
Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a specified net worth and meet
or exceed certain coverage, leverage, and indebtedness ratios. Indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement is secured by a perfected, first priority security
interest in the stock of all existing and future subsidiaries of the Company,
intercompany notes of indebtedness, and majority-owned partnerships.
 
     Pursuant to a Waiver and Consent Agreement dated February 3, 1994 by and
among the Company and the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
10.25% Notes, as consideration for their agreement to make certain changes to
the Notes Indenture to effect the merger with AHM (see Note 3) and other
matters, the Company (i) paid to the holders on the closing date of the merger
$15.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of the outstanding Notes and (ii)
increased the rate of interest on the Notes from 10% per annum to 10.25% per
annum. The merger caused a "change of control," as defined in the Notes
Indenture, which required the Company to make a prompt offer to repurchase all
or any portion of the Notes owned by the holders thereof at 101% of the
principal amount, together with accrued interest thereon, to the date of
repurchase. The Company made the required offer to repurchase the Notes on May
19, 1994. Such offer expires on July 18, 1994.

NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No.
109). Under SFAS No. 109, an asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes is required.
 
     The AHM merger (see Note 3) caused an "ownership change" within the meaning
of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") for both OrNda and
AHM. Consequently, allowable federal deductions relating to tax attribute
carryforwards of OrNda and AHM arising in periods prior to the merger are
thereafter subject to annual limitations (OrNda $19 million; AHM $16 million).
For AHM, such tax attribute carryforwards can only be applied against the
prospective taxable income of the entities that previously comprised AHM. These
limitations may be increased for "built-in gains," as defined under the IRC,
recognized during a five-year period following the date of the merger. These
annual limitations currently are not expected to affect the ability of either
OrNda or AHM to ultimately utilize tax attribute carryforwards available at the
date of the merger and which, therefore, continue to be available to offset book
deferred tax liabilities.
 
     As a result of examinations by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service")
of Summit's federal income tax returns, Summit received a revenue agent's report
with proposed adjustments for the years 1984 through 1986. A protest has been
filed with the district director opposing the proposed adjustments. The
principal issue involves accounting methods used by Summit to report taxable
income.
 
     For the taxable years prior to 1988, most of Summit's subsidiaries (the
"Subsidiaries") primarily reported taxable income using the cash method of
accounting. The cash method was prevalent within the hospital industry and the
Subsidiaries applied the method in accordance with prior agreements reached with
the Service. The Service now asserts that an accrual method of accounting should
have been used. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "1986 Act") requires most large
corporate taxpayers (including Summit) to use an accrual method of accounting
beginning in 1987. Consequently, the Subsidiaries changed to the accrual method
beginning July 1, 1987. In accordance with the provisions of the 1986 Act,
income that was deferred by use of the cash method at the end of 1986 is being
recognized as taxable income by the Subsidiaries in equal annual installments
over ten years beginning on July 1, 1987.
 
     The Company is of the opinion that Summit has properly reported its income
and paid its taxes in accordance with applicable laws (and in accordance with
previous agreements established with the Service). In management's opinion, the
final outcome resulting from the Service's examinations of prior years income
taxes will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or
financial position of the Company.
 
NOTE 6 -- HOUSTON NORTHWEST MEDICAL CENTER
 
     Houston Northwest Medical Center ("HNW"), which is not operated by the
Company, is a 494-bed acute care facility located in Houston, Texas. Prior to
February 28, 1994, the Company's investments in HNW consisted of (i) 100% of
HNW's common stock; (ii) two classes of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
with a redemption value of $62.5 million; and, (iii) a mortgage note receivable
with a balance of $8.4 million. In applying the equity method of accounting for
the investment prior to February 28, 1994, the Company's investment in
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of HNW was considered an "advance" to HNW
and was combined with the common stock. As a result, 100% of HNW's losses
attributable to its common stock were recognized as losses to the Company and
reduced the Company's combined investments in HNW.
 
     On February 28, 1994, the Company irrevocably transferred its investment in
common stock of HNW to the HNW ESOP and HNW for nominal consideration. The
effect of this transfer was to eliminate the requirement for the Company to
apply the equity method of accounting subsequent to the quarter ended February
28, 1994. Accordingly, beginning March 1, 1994, the Company no longer recognizes
HNW income or losses on the equity method. The Company will continue to apply
the income recognition method described

in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K/A No.
4, for the year ended August 31, 1993, for the Company's investment in HNW's
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.
 
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting of Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115). The Company adopted SFAS No. 115 on
September 1, 1993, which resulted in an $81.7 million increase in shareholders
equity (of which $79.7 million related to the HNW mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock classified as "available-for-sale") with no impact on net
income. There was no income tax effect because of the availability of book tax
attribute carryforwards to offset the excess book basis over the tax basis of
the investments. At May 31, 1994, the increase to equity was reduced to $78.3
million (of which $76.3 related to HNW) due to changes in long-term interest
rates used to discount future cash flows.
 
NOTE 7 -- CONTINGENCIES
 
     The Company continually evaluates contingencies based upon the best
available information. In addition, allowances for losses are provided for
unresolved items which have continuing significance such as certain third-party
reimbursements.
 
     The Company presently has unresolved various legal proceedings in which it
is a defendant and various unresolved claims. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate liability, if any, with respect to any such litigation or claim will
not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
 
NOTE 8 -- OTHER
 
     On May 5, 1994, the Company announced it had entered into a letter of
intent to acquire Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center, a
413-licensed bed acute care hospital in Fountain Valley, California. The
transaction will be accounted as a purchase and is expected to have a total
purchase price of approximately $145 million, of which approximately $95 million
will be paid in cash. The transaction, which is expected to be completed during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, is subject to execution of a definitive
agreement, consent of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and other customary
closing conditions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
 
     Mergers and Acquisition.  As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements, OrNda completed the AHM and Summit
mergers on April 19, 1994. The AHM merger was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the operations of AHM and OrNda have been
combined in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The
Summit merger was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, their operations
have been included effective upon the date of the merger. The discussion herein
is based upon the combined operations of OrNda and AHM for all periods presented
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and including
Summit effective April 19, 1994. To enhance understandability, discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the separate
companies is included, where necessary. Hereafter, the combined entity of OrNda
and AHM is referred to as the "Company," while the separate operation of OrNda,
prior to the mergers, is referred to as "OrNda." Nonrecurring charges related to
the AHM merger of $30.0 million primarily consisting of severance and benefit
payments, investment advisory and professional fees, and costs of consolidating
management information systems, were recorded in the third quarter of 1994.
Also, in connection with the mergers, the Company extinguished certain senior
secured debt and replaced it with new senior credit facilities. Consequently,
the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $8.3 million primarily as a result
of the elimination of related debt issuance costs. The Company estimates
approximately $15 million of annualized reduction in expenses due to the
elimination of duplicate overhead and to reductions in malpractice and other
insurance premiums resulting from the mergers. By the end of the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1994, the Company will have begun implementation of the plans
necessary to realize these savings.
 
     In addition to the mergers, the Company's results of operations also have
been impacted by the acquisition of Florida Medical Center ("FMC") , a 459
licensed-bed acute care hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in June 1993.
 
     Divestiture.  Effective in the third quarter of 1994, the Company's
management decided upon a plan of disposition to sell Decatur Hospital, a
120-bed acute care hospital located in Decatur, Georgia. Losses relating to the
future operations of the hospital and the loss on sale totalling $9.8 million
were recorded in the third quarter of 1994. On June 10, 1994, the Company
completed the sale of the property, equipment, and inventory of the hospital for
$6.0 million. The operations of the hospital were not material to the three-and
nine-month periods ended May 31, 1994 and 1993.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1994 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31,
1993.
 
     Total revenue for the three months ended May 31, 1994 increased $84.6
million or 34.4% to $330.5 million and earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization, minority interest, income (loss) from investments in
Houston Northwest Medical Center and nonrecurring charges ("EBITDA") increased
35.0% to $48.1 million. Because of nonrecurring charges of $40.8 million and an
extraordinary charge of $8.3 million, net of income tax expense, the Company
reported a net loss for the three months ended May 31, 1994 of $36.4 million
compared with net income of $4.7 million for the three months ended May 31,
1993.
 
     The principal reasons for the total revenue growth during this period
compared with the year-earlier period are (i) the inclusion of the total revenue
of FMC amounting to $28.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 1994 not
included in the prior-year period, (ii) the inclusion of the total revenue of
Summit from the date of the merger amounting to $51.6 million not included in
the prior-year period, and (iii) an increase in the Company's admissions,
exclusive of FMC and Summit, of 2.3%. Total surgeries and outpatient volume of
the Company remained relatively flat during the period. The effect of price
increases implemented

by the Company's hospitals was nominal as gross revenue (total revenue before
contractual allowances and other deductions) currently paid by fixed
reimbursement third party payors represented approximately 86.0% of the
Company's total gross revenue. These payors, who generally reimburse providers
of health care services at discounts (often substantial) to providers' listed
charges for services, negotiate (or dictate as in the case of the Medicare
program) price increases exclusive of any price increases implemented by
providers.
 
     The increase in EBITDA for the three months ended May 31, 1994 principally
resulted from the increase in total revenue, discussed above. In connection with
mergers, the Company changed the methodologies used by the previously separate
companies to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts to conform to a
single method for OrNda and AHM. The Company also changed the methodology for
recognition of charity care expense. As a result of these changes, the
operations of the Company for the three months ended May 31, 1994 were favorably
impacted by $3.3 million. Otherwise, the provision for doubtful accounts as a
percentage of total revenue increased to 7.1% from 6.8% in the prior-year
period. Exclusive of the adjustment to the Company's allowance for doubtful
accounts, the rate of increase in EBITDA was less than the rate of increase in
total revenue, despite cost containment initiatives implemented by the Company,
because (i) rate increases from various fixed reimbursement third party payors
were below the rate of medical-related inflation increases applicable to
salaries, benefits and supplies, and (ii) the percentage of the Company's gross
revenue derived from fixed reimbursement third party payors, increased to 86.0%
from 81.0% in the prior year period, partially offsetting the effect of the
increase in admissions.
 
     Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended May 31, 1994
increased by $5.1 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year,
primarily due to $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization attributable to
the operations of FMC and $2.6 million of depreciation and amortization
attributable to the operations of Summit not included in the prior year.
Interest expense for the same period increased by $4.2 million as a result of
the financing of these transactions.
 
     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No.
109). The majority of the Company's deferred tax assets related to approximately
$285.6 million of tax attribute carryforwards at May 31, 1994 which the Company
has available to offset future taxable income. The AHM merger (see Note 3)
caused an "ownership change" within the meaning of Section 382 (g) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") for both OrNda and AHM. Consequently,
allowable federal deductions relating to tax attribute carryforwards of OrNda
and AHM arising in periods prior to the merger are thereafter subject to annual
limitations (OrNda -- $19 million; AHM -- $16 million). For AHM, such tax
attribute carryforwards can only be applied against the prospective taxable
income of the entities that previously comprised AHM. These limitations may be
increased for "built-in-gains," as defined under the IRC, recognized during a
five-year period following the date of the merger. Management assesses the
realizability of the deferred tax assets on at least a quarterly basis and
currently is satisfied, despite the annual limitations, that it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax assets recorded at May 31, 1994 will be realized
through reversal of deferred tax liabilities.
 
     For the three months ended May 31, 1994, the Company recorded income tax
expense of $515,000 on a pretax loss of $27.5 million primarily due to state
income taxes and federal alternative minimum tax.
 
NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1994 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1993.
 
     Total revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 increased $180.4
million or 25.7% to $882.9 million and EBITDA increased 32.6% to $127.9 million.
Because of the nonrecurring charges and extraordinary item recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company reported a net loss for the nine months
ended May 31, 1994 of $31.2 million compared with net income of $10.8 million
for the nine months ended May 31, 1993. Historical and pro forma income and
earnings per share before extraordinary item, exclusive of expenses directly
attributed to the merger, nonrecurring special executive compensation and loss

     The principal reasons for the total revenue growth during this period
compared with the prior-year period are (i) the inclusion of the total revenue
of FMC amounting to $82.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 not
included in the prior year period; (ii) the inclusion of the total revenue of
Summit from the date of the merger amounting to $51.6 million not included in
the prior year period; (iii) an increase in the Company's admissions, exclusive
of FMC and Summit, of 6.2%; and, (iv) an increase in outpatient revenue of
10.6%, exclusive of FMC and Summit, representing a volume increase of
approximately 4.6%. Total surgeries remained relatively flat during the period.
 
     The increase in EBITDA of 32.6% for the nine months ended May 31, 1994
principally resulted from the increase in total revenue discussed above and cost
containment initiatives implemented by the Company during the year.
 
     Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended May 31, 1994
increased by $11.7 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year,
primarily due to $4.0 million of depreciation and amortization attributable to
the operations of FMC and $2.6 million of depreciation and amortization
attributable to the operations of Summit. Interest expense for the same periods
increased by $9.4 million as a result of the financing of these transactions.
 
     For the nine months ended May 31, 1994, the Company recorded income tax
expense of $1.0 million on a pretax loss of $21.9 million primarily due to
issues previously discussed.
 
OTHER
 
     In December 1993, the Company granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of
common stock to certain officers under the provisions of the Company's 1991
stock option plan. The option exercise prices range from $7.75 to $10.75. During
the three and nine months ended May 31, 1994, the Company recorded $1.0 million,
and $2.5 million, respectively, of noncash expense related to the issuance of
such options. The expense related to the issuance of such options is reflected
in the Company's Statement of Operations as special executive compensation.
 
     Minority interest expense represents the amount paid to physicians pursuant
to the Company's joint venture arrangements. Currently, four of the Company's
hospitals are joint ventured with physicians. Minority interest expense
decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 1994 compared to
the prior year period primarily due to the buyout of a joint venture arrangement
at a hospital for $9.7 million in March 1994. Minority interest expense
increased $1.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 compared to the
prior year period primarily due to increased EBITDA at the joint-ventured
hospitals. The increase would have been greater but for the buyout of a joint
venture as previously discussed.
 
     The Company's investment in the common stock of Houston Northwest Medical
Center ("HNW") was divested on February 28, 1994. Subsequent to February 28,
1994, the Company is not required to account for the investment on the equity
method. Consequently, HNW losses, recorded in previous periods, related to the
Company's investment in HNW common stock have not been recorded. The third
quarter of fiscal 1994 reflected $3.2 million of income from the Company's
investments in HNW. Such income primarily

represented $3.1 million of income (of which $2.6 million is noncash) related to
the Company's investment in HNW redeemable preferred stock. The third quarter of
1993 included $691,000 of losses related to the HNW investments which was
comprised of $3.6 million of losses related to the investment in common stock
offset by $2.8 million of income related to redeemable preferred stock.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     At May 31, 1994, the Company's primary source of liquidity was $16.3
million in cash, and availability under the Credit Agreement of $138.0 million
for general corporate purposes and $90.3 million for acquisitions. At May 31,
1994, the working capital of the Company increased to $52.3 million from $26.2
million at August 31, 1993. Total assets during that period increased to $1,790
million from $1,205 million. The changes in working capital and total assets
primarily are attributable to the Company's purchase of Summit on April 19,
1994. In connection with this purchase, the Company used $256.7 million of funds
available under the Credit Agreement in addition to issuing 7.5 million shares
of the Company's common stock.
 
     On May 5, 1994, the Company announced it had entered into a letter of
intent to acquire Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center, a
413-licensed bed acute care hospital in Fountain Valley, California. The total
purchase price is expected to be approximately $145 million, of which
approximately $95 million will be paid in cash. The transaction, which is
expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, is subject to
execution of a definitive agreement, consent of the lenders under the Credit
Agreement and other customary closing conditions.
 
     Management believes that the Company's cash and capital resources, and cash
flow from operations, will be sufficient to finance current and forecasted
operations. The Company is, however, actively seeking potential acquisitions in
addition to Fountain Valley and, depending upon the size and terms of any such
acquisitions, additional financing or equity capital may be required.

         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 APRIL 30, 1994
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Fountain Valley
Medical Development Company (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the fiscal year 1994
interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the twelve months ended October 31, 1994. The balance sheet at
October 31, 1993, was derived from the audited financial statements of the
Partnership.
 
2. INCOME TAXES
 
     The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes. The
results of the Partnership's operations are allocated to and included in the tax
returns of the partners. Accordingly, no income tax provision is reflected in
the accompanying financial statements. Net income for financial reporting
purposes differs from taxable income to be reported by the partners due to
differences between tax accounting methods and generally accepted accounting
principles which are used for financial reporting.
 
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     On May 5, 1994, the Partnership entered into a letter of intent to be
acquired by OrNda HealthCorp for $145 million. The transaction is subject to
execution of a definitive agreement, consent of certain of OrNda HealthCorp's
lenders and other customary closing conditions.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
Executive Committee and Partners
Fountain Valley Medical Development Company
and Subsidiaries
Fountain Valley, California
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fountain Valley
Medical Development Company and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the related consolidated statements of income, partners' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 consolidated 1993 and 1992 financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fountain Valley Medical Development Company and Subsidiaries at October 31, 1993
and 1992, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1993.

                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Basis of Presentation.  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the parent, Fountain Valley Medical Development Company (the
"Company"), a California limited partnership and its wholly owned California
corporate subsidiaries, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center
(the "Hospital"), MCS Administrative Services, Inc. ("MCS"), Fountain Valley
Health Care ("FVHC"), and Fountain Valley Imaging Corporation ("FVI Corp."),
Fountain Valley Outpatient Surgery Center ("FVOSC"), a California limited
partnership, and Fountain Valley Imaging Center ("FVIC"), a California limited
partnership. FVHC was formed in January 1992 and FVI Corp. was formed in June
1993. FVOSC was an operating division of the Company and on January 1, 1992
became a separate legal entity and is now included as a subsidiary. The Company
owns a 99% limited partnership interest in FVOSC and FVHC owns the sole 1%
general partnership interest in FVOSC. The Company was a 50% partner in FVIC and
accounted for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting through
March 31, 1992. Effective April 1, 1992, the Company purchased the remaining 50%
ownership in FVIC and includes FVIC in consolidation. The Company owns a 99%
limited partnership interest in FVIC and FVI Corp. owns the sole 1% general
partnership interest in FVIC. All significant intercompany transactions and
stockholdings have been eliminated.
 
     Third-Party Reimbursement Programs.  Approximately 47% and 44% of the gross
revenue of the Hospital is derived from patient charges under the Medicare and
Medi-Cal programs for 1993 and 1992. The provisions of these agreements
stipulate that services are to be reimbursed at prospective rates, daily rates
or costs rather than regular rates. The estimated rates or costs are paid to the
Hospital at a tentative rate, and final reimbursement for these services is
determined after submission of annual cost reports by the Hospital and audits by
the program intermediaries. Provision for estimated final reimbursement has been
provided for in the financial statements. The Hospital also provides, as an
adjustment to its provision for contractual allowances, for the results of prior
year audits by agencies administering the programs and agreed upon by the
Hospital in the year of the audit. Cost reports have been filed through the 1992
fiscal year and audited through the 1991 fiscal year.
 
     Allowances and Uncollectibles.  The Hospital records its accounts
receivable at their gross amount with an appropriate allowance until collection.
 
     Inventory.  Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
basis) or market.
 
     Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment are stated at cost and are
depreciated using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated
useful lives as follows:

</TABLE>
 
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which
materially increase the value of properties or extend useful lives are
capitalized.
 
     Deferred Charges.  Deferred charges consist primarily of deferred loan fees
which are amortized over the life of the related loans. Also included are
capitalized costs incurred for the start-up of additional operating units. These
costs are amortized over five years.
 
     Excess Purchase Price and Intangibles.  The excess purchase price of FVIC
which is amortized over two years for medical records portion and forty years
for excess purchase price over book value relates to the purchase of the
remaining 50% ownership purchased in 1992.

the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and
others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under
reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are
accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered
and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined.
 
     Income Taxes.  The Company and its subsidiaries file separate federal and
California income tax returns. Investment and job tax credits are recorded by
the subsidiaries under the flow-through method of accounting as a reduction of
the provision for income taxes when the credits are realized.
 
     Related party receivables/payables relating to rent, which eliminate on a
consolidated basis, are accounted for on a cash basis for income tax purposes.
 
     Employee Savings Plan.  Under the Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan"),
eligible participating employees of the Company may elect to contribute up to
10% of their prior calendar year compensation to a trust for investment in
marketable securities. The Company contributes amounts equal to 50% of up to 6%
of their respective participants' contributions, which are also invested in the
trust fund.
 
     The contributions are fully vested to the participants after seven years of
credited service. The Company's contribution to the Plan was $576,000 and
$445,000 for the years ended October 31, 1993 and 1992.
 
     Self-Insurance.  The Company provides certain benefits to its employees and
others under health and other insurance programs and is self-insured for certain
benefits under such programs. In the opinion of management, adequate provision
has been made in the financial statements for losses relating to all known and
estimated claims as of October 31, 1993 and 1992. MCS Administrative Services,
Inc. is the administrator of the program.
 
     Reclassifications.  Certain amounts in 1992 have been reclassified to
conform to current year presentation. The reclassifications have no effect upon
net income as previously reported in 1992.
 
     Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The Company invests excess cash in treasury
bills, short term commercial paper and a money market account, all of which
mature within 90 days. These are stated at cost, which approximates market.

4. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
     Effective November 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." As permitted under the new rule, prior years' financial statements have
not been restated. The adoption of the new standard had no effect on the tax
provision for 1993. (The cumulative effect of this adoption was a $1,368,000
decrease in net income.)

     The variation in the customary relationship between income tax expense and
pretax accounting income arises because the Company consists of partnerships and

5. PARTNERSHIP UNITS HELD FOR RESALE AND NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM PARTNERS FOR SALE
OF UNITS
 
     In February 1985, the Partnership purchased certain partnership units from
existing partners. The Partnership initially paid $4,431,000 in February 1985
for approximately 5% of the units then outstanding. Through October 31, 1993,
the Company purchased a total of approximately $6,131,000 partnership units and
resold a total of approximately $3,545,000 partnership units. All resales have
been at the same per unit price as the Partnership paid in February 1985. The
majority of the units were sold in exchange for notes receivable from the
partners. The notes receivable from partners were approximately $2,162,000 and
$2,361,000 as of October 31, 1993 and 1992 and are recorded as a reduction of
equity.
 
6. CONTINGENCIES
 
     The Company and Hospital maintain a $500,000 per occurrence medical
malpractice insurance policy. Occurrence basis insurance covers claims that
occur during the policy term regardless of when the claim was reported.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Additionally, the Company and Hospital have claims-made medical malpractice
insurance policies which cover the Company and Hospital for claims from $500,000
to $20,000,000 with 7-year prepaid discovery. Claims-made insurance covers only
those claims covered by the policy and reported to the insurance carrier during
the policy term.
 
     As of October 31, 1993, the Hospital has no malpractice loss accruals. The
Hospital and the Company have a deductible reserve exposure of up to $247,000
for deductible liability on claims made, but not settled as of October 31, 1993.
 
     During a prior year, the Company was joined by 118 other hospitals, as well
as another organization, in an action which was originally against four workers'
compensation insurance carriers and three other defendants alleging conspiracy
to suppress prices paid by workers' compensation insurance companies.
 
     The action and a subsequent counterclaim between the defendants were
settled in December 1993. The settlement resulted in no liability to the
Company.
 
7. LEASE REVENUE
 
     The Company's principle leasing activities consist of renting suites in
four medical office buildings. Lease terms for the medical office buildings
range from 1 to 5 years. Rental income for the years ended October 31, 1993 and
1992 was approximately $5,144,000 and $6,048,000. This rental income includes
the rent from the regional care center ("RCC") whose lease was terminated
effective June 1, 1992.
 
     The following is a schedule of future minimum lease revenue for the four
medical office building leases:

     The Company leased to the RCC under a long-term lease agreement which the
tenant terminated effective June 1, 1992. An agreement was arrived at in which
the tenant agreed to 1) pay thirteen months additional rent and expenses from
the date of termination, 2) leave all the equipment valued at $206,000 to the
Company, and 3) leave all the leasehold improvements valued at $1,135,000 to the
Company. The Company agreed to return to the lessee any rents paid on the RCC
during the thirteen month period if a nonrelated party rented the facility, as
adjusted for various expenses to the Company. Additionally, a restricted cash
account of approximately $583,000 was established with a portion of the cash
paid by the lessee in the settlement in the event the facility was leased during
the thirteen month period. As the RCC was not leased during the thirteen month
period, the restricted cash became unrestricted during the year ended October
31, 1993. The Company recorded deferred revenue and recognized the rent and
value of the leasehold improvements ratably on a monthly basis over the thirteen
month period which expired during the year ended October 31, 1993. Rent is
included in medical building rent and other revenue. The leasehold improvements
and equipment value is included in nonoperating income.
