                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                November 30, 1996


NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY

       OrNda  HealthCorp  ("Company"),  which  is  incorporated  in the  State  
of  Delaware,  is a provider of health care  services  through the  operation of
general  acute care  hospitals  located  primarily  in the  southern and western
United  States.  Of the 49 general  acute  care  hospitals  and one  psychiatric
hospital  operated by the Company at November 30, 1996, 19 hospitals are located
in California of which 16 hospitals are located in the southern California area.
In addition,  4 hospitals  are located in southern  Florida and 6 hospitals  are
located in Arizona.  The  concentration  of  hospitals in  California,  southern
Florida and Arizona 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.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying unaudited 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  considered  necessary  for fair  presentation  have been  included.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.  Operating  results for the three months ended  November 30, 1996,
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be  expected  for the
entire  year.  For  further  information,  refer to the  consolidated  financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended August 31, 1996.

       Earnings Per Share.  Earnings per common and common  equivalent  share is
based on the  Company's  weighted  average  number of  shares  of  common  stock
outstanding  during the period adjusted to give effect to dilutive stock options
and  warrants  using the treasury  stock  method.  The dilutive  effect of stock
options and warrants was 1.4 million and 2.1 million  equivalent  shares for the
three months ended November 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Earnings per common
share  assuming  full  dilution for the three  months  ended  November 30, 1995,
assumes the conversion of the Company's redeemable  convertible  preferred stock
into common shares.

        Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed  Of.  Effective  September  1, 1996,  the Company  adopted
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121 "  Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", (SFAS No. 121).
The effect of adoption was not material to the Company's operations or financial
condition.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT

       On November  26,  1996,  the Company  executed an amendment to its credit
agreement (the "Credit  Facility") which increased the borrowing  capacity under
the revolving  commitment  from $440.0  million to $773.8  million  bringing the
total credit facility to $1.2 billion.  As of November 30, 1996,  $767.3 million
was outstanding under the Credit Facility, and commitment  availability had been
reduced by $25.3 million as a result of issued letters of credit.  The amendment
also  postponed  the next three  quarterly  principal  payments of the term loan
facility. The Credit Facility still matures on October 30, 2001.

                                        6
<PAGE>
       Loans  under the  Credit  Facility  bear  interest,  at the option of the
Company,  at a rate equal to either (i) the "alternate  base rate" or (ii) LIBOR
plus 1.0%, in each case subject to potential decreases or increases dependent on
the Company's  leverage ratio.  Interest is payable quarterly if a rate based on
the alternate base 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  weighted
average  interest  rate on the  Company's  borrowings  under the  Senior  Credit
Facilities at November 30, 1996, was 6.4%.

       In certain  circumstances,  the  Company is  required  to make  principal
prepayments on the Credit  Facility,  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,   fund  capital   expenditures  or  repay
subordinated  debt  within one year.  The  Company may prepay at any time all or
part of the outstanding Credit Facility without penalty.

       The Credit Facility 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
Facility also requires the Company to maintain a specified net worth and meet or
exceed certain coverage,  leverage, and indebtedness ratios.  Indebtedness under
the Credit Facility 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,  majority-owned  partnerships  and certain
specified investments.

NOTE 4 - 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 1994 merger with AHM caused an "ownership  change" within the meaning
of  Section  382(g)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  for  both  OrNda  and AHM.
Consequently,  allowable federal  deductions  relating to NOL's of OrNda and AHM
arising in periods  prior to the AHM  Merger  are  thereafter  subject to annual
limitations  of  approximately  $19  million  and $16 million for OrNda and AHM,
respectively. In addition, approximately $55 million of the NOL's are subject to
an  annual  limitation  of  approximately  $3  million  due to prior  "ownership
changes" of OrNda.  The annual  limitations  may be increased in order to offset
certain  built-in  gains  which  are  recognized  during  the five  year  period
following an ownership change. In addition,  the NOL's from pre-merger tax years
of AHM may only be applied  against the  prospective  taxable  income of the AHM
entities.  The  limitations  described  above  are  not  currently  expected  to
significantly  affect the ability of the  Company to  ultimately  recognize  the
benefit of these NOL's in future years.

       The Company's federal income tax returns are not presently under audit by
the  Internal  Revenue  Service  (the  "IRS"),  except in  respect  to Summit as
disclosed  below.  Furthermore,  the  Company's  federal  income tax returns for
taxable years through August 31, 1991 are no longer subject to IRS audit, except
for net  operating  loss and credit carry  forwards for income tax purposes from
prior years which may be subject to IRS audit as net  operating  loss and credit
carry  forwards are utilized in subsequent  tax years.  Also,  Summit Health has
extended the statute of limitations  for fiscal years 1987 to 1992 through March
31, 1997.

       In recent years the IRS was examining the federal  income tax returns for
fiscal years 1984,  1985 and 1986 of Summit Health,  which became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company in April 1994 and merged into the Company in September
1994. Summit Health received a revenue agent's report from the IRS with proposed
adjustments  for the years 1984 through 1986  aggregating  as of August 31, 1996
approximately $16.6 million of income tax, $66.4 million of interest on the tax,
$43.9 million of penalties and $25.6 million of interest on the penalties. After
receiving the revenue agent's report,  Summit Health filed a protest  contesting
the  proposed  adjustments.  On October 28,  1996,  the Company  entered  into a
Closing  Agreement  on  Final  Determination  with the IRS for the  above  audit
period,  by  agreeing  and paying  additional  tax of $647,000  and  interest of
$888,000 to close the audit of Summit  Health for the fiscal  years 1984 through
1986.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS
       Effective September 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of The
Fallon  Healthcare   System's  Saint  Vincent  Healthcare  System,   located  in
Worcester,  Massachusetts ("St. Vincent's"),  consisting of a 432-bed acute care
teaching  hospital,  three skilled  nursing  facilities and other health related
companies,  and a minority  interest  in the 280- member  multi-specialty  group
physician  practice,  The Fallon  Clinic.  The Company has committed to fund the
construction,  estimated at $225.0 million, of a new replacement hospital, known
as Medical City.

       On  December  23,  1996,  the  Company   completed  its   acquisition  of
substantially   all  of  the  assets  of  United  Western  Medical  Centers,   a
not-for-profit  corporation  headquartered  in Santa Ana,  California  ("UWMC"),
which  consists  primarily  of  Western  Medical  Center,  a 288-bed  acute care
hospital in Santa Ana,  California;  Western Medical  Center-Anaheim,  a 193-bed
acute care hospital in Anaheim, California; and Western Medical Center-Bartlett,
a  202-bed  skilled  nursing  facility  in  Santa  Ana,  California.   UWMC  has
approximately  $185  million in annual net  revenues in its most  recent  fiscal
year.

NOTE 6 - PROPOSED MERGER WITH TENET

       On October 16, 1996, the Company  entered into a definitive  agreement to
merge  with  Tenet  Healthcare  Corporation  ("Tenet").  Under  the terms of the
definitive  agreement,  which was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors
of both companies,  shareholders of OrNda common stock would receive 1.35 shares
of Tenet common stock and the associated  preferred  stock  purchase  rights for
each share of OrNda common stock.  The merger  transaction  will be tax-free and
accounted for as a pooling of interests and is expected to close in January 1997
pending  receipt of shareholder and government  approvals.  Both OrNda and Tenet
have  announced  special   shareholder   meetings  for  January  28,  1997,  for
shareholder approval of the proposed merger.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       The  Company  continually  evaluates  contingencies  based  upon the best
available  information.  Final  determination  of amounts  earned  from  certain
third-party payors is subject to review by appropriate  governmental authorities
or their agents. In the opinion of management,  adequate provision has been made
for any adjustments that may result from such reviews.

       Broad  provisions  in the Medicare and Medicaid  laws deal with fraud and
abuse,  false claims and physician self- referrals as well as similar provisions
in many  state  laws.  In recent  years,  government  investigations  of alleged
violations of these laws have become  common place in the health care  industry.

       In February 1996, the Company's Midway Hospital Medical Center ("Midway")
in Los Angeles,  California,  which was acquired when the Company acquired
Summit Health Ltd.  ("Summit  Health") in April 1994,  received an

                                       8
<PAGE>
investigative  subpoena from the Office of the  Inspector  General of the United
States Department of Health and Human Services (the "OIG").  The subpoena states
that it was issued in connection  with an  investigation  being conducted by the
OIG concerning  possible  violations of Medicare rules and regulations (the "OIG
Investigation").  The  Company  believes  that the basis  for the  investigative
subpoena  from the OIG that was served on Midway was a civil qui tam action that
had been filed in July 1995 against  Midway  Hospital  Medical  Center,  Inc. (a
subsidiary of the Company  which owns Midway),  Summit Health and the Company in
the United States  District  Court for the Central  District of California  (the
"California  Action").  The  California  Action  originally  was  filed  under a
court-ordered  seal that prohibited the Company from disclosing the action prior
to this time.

         The  California  Action  alleges,  among other things,  that there were
violations  of the federal  False Claims Act and the federal fraud and abuse and
anti-kickback  provisions of the Medicare and Medicaid  laws in connection  with
certain  of  Midway's  compensation   arrangements  with  its  physicians.   The
California  Action alleges that as a result of this allegedly  wrongful conduct,
the United States is entitled to monetary damages and penalties.  The California
Action  also  alleges in a second  cause of action  violations  of the fraud and
abuse,  medical staff and wrongful discharge laws of the State of California and
claims as a result  of such  wrongful  conduct  compensatory as well as punitive
damages.

        The OIG has expanded the California  Action,  which initially related to
only one of the Company's  hospitals (Midway,  which was acquired by the Company
from Summit Health),  and the OIG Investigation to 11 other former Summit Health
hospitals  owned  by  the  Company.  In  an  apparently  unrelated  matter,  the
government  has  requested  and the Company has  provided  records from a single
hospital  outside the group  acquired from Summit  Health.  The Company is fully
cooperating with the OIG. The Company and its outside counsel have held numerous
meetings with government attorneys with respect to this matter and, as a result,
the  Company  believes  that  the  OIG  Investigation  continues  to be a  civil
investigation  focused  primarily on  arrangements  between  physicians  and the
hospitals  that  may  violate  Medicare  rules  and  regulations  and not on the
hospitals' Medicare  or  Medicaid  billing  practices.  If  the  outcome  of the
California  Action or OIG Investigation  were unfavorable,  the Company could be
subject to fines,  penalties and damages ("Monetary Payments") and also could be
excluded  from  Medicare  and other  government  reimbursement  programs,  which
Monetary  Payments  or  exclusion  could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.  The result of the
California  Action,  the OIG  Investigation  and their impact, if any, cannot be
predicted or estimated at this time. Based on information currently available to
the Company, however,  management of the Company believes that if the California
Action  and  the  OIG  Investigation   remain  primarily  limited  to  physician
arrangements,  remain civil in nature and, with the exception of only one of the
hospitals,  relate only to the practices of the former Summit Health  hospitals,
the final outcome of the California  Action and the OIG  Investigation  will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial  condition or results
of operations.

       The Company is not aware of any additional litigation  or  investigations
concerning  the matters  described in the three  paragraphs  immediately  above.
There  can be no  assurance,  however, that in the  event  any  such  additional
litigation or investigation  is instituted and there is an unfavorable  outcome,
such result would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial
condition or results of operations.

       The  Company is subject to various  legal  proceedings  and claims  which
arise in the ordinary  course of  business.  In the opinion of  management,  the
ultimate  resolution of such pending legal  proceedings will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

       Proposed Tenet Merger.  On October 16, 1996,  the Company  entered into a
definitive agreement to merge with Tenet Healthcare Corporation ("Tenet"). Under
the  terms of the  definitive  agreement,  which  was  approved  by the Board of
Directors  of both  companies,  stockholders  owning  OrNda  common  stock would
receive  1.35 shares of Tenet common stock and the  associated  preferred  stock
purchase rights for each share of OrNda common stock and the Company will become
a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Tenet. The merger transaction will be tax-free and
accounted  for as a pooling of  interests  and is  expected  to close in January
1997. Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including
stockholder approval of both companies and certain regulatory approvals.

                                       9
<PAGE>
       Other Mergers and  Acquisitions.  The Company's recent operating  results
were significantly affected by the January 1996 acquisition of Houston Northwest
Medical Center ("HNW"),  the July 1996 acquisition of Cypress  Fairbanks Medical
Center in Houston, Texas ("Cypress  Fairbanks"),  the August 1996 acquisition of
Centinela  Medical  Center  in  Inglewood,   California  ("Centinela")  and  the
September 1996  acquisition  of St.  Vincent's  Healthcare  System in Worcester,
Massachusetts ("St. Vincent's").

       Geographic  Market  Concentration.  The  Company's  hospitals  in greater
southern  California,  South  Florida,  Arizona  and Texas which  generated  the

</TABLE>

       To the extent  favorable or unfavorable  changes in regulations or market
conditions   occur  in  these   markets,   such  changes  would  likely  have  a
corresponding impact on the Company's results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       General Trends. During the periods discussed below, the Company's results
of operations were affected by certain industry trends,  changing  components of
total  revenue,  and changes in the  Company's  debt  structure.  The  Company's
results of  operations  have also been  impacted by the  acquisitions  discussed
above.

       Industry  Trends.  Outpatient  services  accounted for 32.9% and 30.7% of
actual gross  patient  revenue for the three months ended  November 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  reflecting  the  industry  trend  towards  greater  use of
outpatient services and the expansion of the Company's outpatient services.  The
Company  expects the industry trend towards  outpatient  services to continue as
procedures  currently being performed on an inpatient basis become  available on
an outpatient  basis through  technological  and  pharmaceutical  advances.  The
Company  plans to provide  quality  health care  services as an extension of its
hospitals  through  a  variety  of  outpatient   activities  including  surgery,
diagnostics, physician clinics and home health.

       As discussed below,  excluding the effect of the acquisitions noted above
("same  hospitals  basis"),  total revenues have  increased,  reflecting  higher
utilization of outpatient and ancillary  services,  increased acuity of patients
admitted, and an increase in admissions for inpatient procedures.  The impact on
revenue  of  increased  patient  acuity and  general  price  increases  has been
partially offset by the increasing proportion of revenues derived from Medicare,
Medicaid and managed care providers.  These major payors  substantially pay on a
fixed  payment  rate on a per  patient or a per diem basis  instead of a cost or
charge  reimbursement  methodology.  Fixed  payments  limit the  ability  of the
Company to increase revenues through price increases.  While these fixed payment
rates have increased  annually,  the increases have  historically been at a rate
less than the Company's  increases in costs, and have been inadequate to reflect
increases in costs  associated with improved medical  technologies.  The Company
has been able to mitigate  such  inflationary  pressures  through  cost  control
programs, as well as utilization  management programs which reduce the number of
days that  patients  stay in the  hospital  and the amount of hospital  services
provided to the patient.

<PAGE>
Three Months Ended November 30, 1996 Compared With
The Three Months Ended November 30, 1995
   
       Total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 1996, increased
over the same  period in the prior  year by  $143.5  million  or 29.1% to $637.1
million.  The 29.1% increase is a result of the acquisitions  discussed above as
well as an increase in same hospitals  revenue as discussed  below. The increase
in total revenue  attributable  to acquisitions  was $140.6 million.  Net income
applicable to common shares for the quarter ended  November 30, 1996,  was $26.4
million,  or $0.44 per share,  compared to $19.6 million, or $0.40 per share, in
the same period last year.

       Operating  expenses in the quarter  ended  November 30,  1996,  increased
27.4% ($115.3  million)  compared to the same period in the prior year primarily
as a  result  of the  acquisitions  discussed  above  and the  increase  in same
hospital revenues and volumes discussed below.

       On a same hospitals basis,  total revenue  increased  0.6%($2.9  million)
primarily as a result of a 0.1%  increase in  admissions  and a 1.5% increase in
gross  outpatient  revenue.  On a same  hospitals  basis,  salaries and benefits
increased  as a percent  of total  revenue  from  42.7% in 1995 to 43.8% in 1996
primarily as a result of performing  certain patient services  internally versus
contracting with third parties.  Supplies expense  decreased 0.5% ($0.3 million)
and as a percentage  of total revenue  decreased  from 13.4% in 1995 to 13.2% in
1996.  Purchased  services  decreased 5.2% ($2.6 million) and as a percentage of
total  revenue  decreased  from  10.2%  in  1995  to  9.6%  in  1996  due to the
elimination of contracting  with third parties as noted above. The provision for
doubtful  accounts  decreased  28.0% ($9.3  million) and decreased  from 6.9% of
total revenue for 1995 to 4.9% for 1996  primarily due to collections of patient
accounts   receivable   that  were  reserved  in  prior  periods  during  system
conversions.  Other  operating  expenses  increased 1.9% ($1.1 million) and as a
percentage of total revenue was 11.8% in 1995 and 11.9% in 1996.

       The effect of price increases  implemented by the Company's hospitals was
nominal as gross revenue from fixed reimbursement third party payors represented
approximately  82.4% of the  Company's  total gross revenue in the quarter ended
November 30, 1996.  Over the last several  years,  the portion of the  Company's
total revenue derived from fixed  reimbursement third party payors has increased
while  rates of  increases  from  these  payors  have  generally  been less than
medical-related  inflation,  resulting  in  increased  efforts by the Company to
implement cost  containment  initiatives and re-evaluate  hospital  programs for
adequacy  of  profitability.  Since  these  trends are likely to  continue,  the
Company's  ability to improve  operating  results at its  existing  hospitals is
dependent on its continues  effectiveness in reducing its costs of services. The
Company's  operations may also be enhanced through strategic  acquisitions.  The
Company  intends to pursue  strategic  acquisitions  of health care providers in
geographic  areas  and  with  service  capabilities  that  will  facilitate  the
development of integrated networks.

       Depreciation  and  amortization  for the quarter ended November 30, 1996,
increased  35.1% ($8.2  million) over the prior period  primarily as a result of
the acquisitions of HNW, Cypress Fairbanks,  Centinela,  and St. Vincent's.  The
increase in depreciation and amortization  attributable to acquisitions was $5.9
million.  In addition,  amortization on intangibles  increased $2.0 million as a
result of new business units.

       Interest  expense  for the three  months  ended  November  30,  1996,  as
compared to the same period last year, increased 12.4% ($3.4 million)  primarily
as a result of an increase in debt to fund recent  acquisitions.  This  increase
was  partially  offset by improved  pricing  under the Credit  Facility.  Of the
Company's   total   indebtedness   of  $  1.4  billion  at  November  30,  1996,
approximately  $767.3 million bears interest at rates that fluctuate with market
rates, such as the Prime Rate or LIBOR.  Increases in market interest rates will
adversely affect the Company's net income.

       Minority  interest,  which  represents  the  amounts  paid or  payable to
physicians pursuant to the Company's joint venture arrangements,  increased $1.0
million in 1996 as compared  to 1995,  primarily  as a result of a $9.4  million
exchange of minority  interest  ownership in two hospitals for minority interest
investment in two group physician  practices in the first quarter of fiscal 1996
and the acquisition of HNW which has several specialty joint ventures.

        The  Company  recorded  income  of $3.8  million  in the  quarter  ended
November 30, 1995 related to its investments in HNW, which primarily represented
non-cash income related to the Company's investment in HNW

                                       11
<PAGE>
redeemable preferred stock.  Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired HNW
from the hospital's ESOP.  Following the transaction,  HNW became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.

       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
$187.0 million of tax loss and credit  carryforwards at November 30, 1996, which
the Company has available to offset future taxable income. The AHM Merger 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 AHM Merger are  thereafter  subject to annual  limitations
(OrNda  - $19.0  million;  AHM - $16.0  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  November  30,  1996,  net of the  valuation
allowance, will be realized through reversal of deferred tax liabilities.

       For the quarter ended November 30, 1996, the Company  recorded income tax
expense of $11.3 million on pre-tax income of $37.8 million, an amount less than
the statutory  rate,  primarily due to the  availability  of net operating  loss
carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       At November 30, 1996, the Company had working  capital of $138.1 million,
of which $10.5 million was cash,  compared with $88.1 million of working capital
at August 31, 1996. The Company's cash portion of working capital
is primarily managed through a revolving credit arrangement, whereby excess cash
generated  through  operations  or  otherwise  is  generally  used to reduce the
outstanding  revolving  credit  facility.  When  cash  requirements  arise,  the
revolving  credit  facility is drawn upon as needed.  On November 26, 1996,  the
Company  executed an amendment to its credit  agreement (the "Credit  Facility")
which  increased the borrowing  capacity  under the  revolving  commitment  from
$440.0 million to $773.8  million.  As of November 30, 1996,  $767.3 million was
outstanding  under the Credit  Facility  and  commitment  availability  had been
reduced  by $25.3  million as a result of issued  letters of credit.  The Credit
Facility still matures on October 30, 2001.

       The Company's operating activities provided cash of $32.3 million for the
quarter ended  November 30, 1996.  Cash from  operations  was used for the $14.2
million  increase  in patient  accounts  receivable,  net of the  provision  for
doubtful  accounts.   The  increase  in  patient  accounts  receivable  resulted
primarily from delays in payment from certain state  Medicaid/Medicare  programs
and due to the  acquisition  and  start  up of new  business  units.  Cash  from
operations  includes  $19.5  million  received as a refund of funds  remitted in
fiscal  1996 to  defease  indebtedness  of  Centinela  in  connection  with  the
acquisition of Centinela.  Cash from operations was used for income tax payments
of $11.9 million and interest payments of $38.7 million.

       Net cash used in investing activities of $110.8 million during the three
months ended November 30, 1996,  consisted primarily of capital  expenditures of
$26.1  million and $82.0 million for the  acquisitions  of hospitals and related
assets,  primarily St. Vincent's hospital.  The Company's  management  currently
expects to incur approximately  $125.0 million of capital expenditures in fiscal
1997 for replacement equipment and construction at existing facilities.

       Net cash provided by financing  activities for the quarter ended November
30, 1996, of $71.6 million  resulted  primarily from the $72.3 million excess of
long term debt borrowings over principal payments on long term debt.

       The  Company  believes  that the cash  flows  generated  by  operations
together with availability of credit under the Company's Credit Facility will be
sufficient to meet the Company's  short and long-term cash needs.  However,  the
Company's net debt-to-total-capitalization  ratio at November 30, 1996 is 66.9%.
Such leverage may limit the amount of additional  indebtedness  available to the
Company  for  acquisitions  requiring  capital  in excess of  amounts  currently
available under the Credit Facility.

       As of November 30, 1996, the Company had approximately  $767.3 million of
debt  outstanding  under the Credit Facility with an interest rate of LIBOR plus
1.0%.  Interest  rates in the  future  may be  subject  to upward  and  downward
adjustments  based on the Company's  leverage ratio. To the extent that interest
rates increase in the future,  the Company may experience  higher interest rates
on such  debt.  A 1%  increase  in the  prime  rate or  LIBOR  would  result  in
approximately a $7.7 million  increase in annual interest expense based upon the
Company's credit facility indebtedness outstanding at November 30, 1996.

       The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred  stock dividends was
1.72  and  1.99  for  the  three  months  ended  November  30,  1995  and  1996,
respectively.  The  ratio of  earnings  to fixed  charges  and  preferred  stock
dividends 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,  preferred stock dividends,  and the portion of
rental expense which is deemed to be representative of the interest component of
rental  expense.  The ratio of earnings to fixed  charges  and  preferred  stock
dividends is an indication of the Company's  ability to pay interest expense and
other fixed charges.

       In recent years the IRS was examining the federal  income tax returns for
fiscal  1984,  1985 and  1986 of  Summit  Health,  which  became a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company in April 1994 and merged into the Company in September
1994. Summit Health received a revenue agent's report from the IRS with proposed
adjustments  for the years 1984 through 1986  aggregating  as of August 31, 1996
approximately $16.6 million of income tax, $66.4 million of interest on the tax,
$43.9 million of penalties and $25.6 million of interest on the penalties. After
receiving the revenue agent's report,  Summit Health filed a protest  contesting
the  proposed  adjustments.  On October 28,  1996,  the Company  entered  into a
Closing  Agreement  on  Final  Determination  with the IRS for the  above  audit
period,  by  agreeing  and paying  additional  tax of $647,000  and  interest of
$888,000 to close the audit of Summit  Health for the fiscal  years 1984 through
1986.

       Inflation.  A significant portion of the Company's operating expenses are
subject  to  inflationary  increases,  the  impact  of  which  the  Company  has
historically  been  able  to  substantially  offset  through  charge  increases,
expanding  services and  increased  operating  efficiencies.  To the extent that
inflation  occurs  in the  future,  the  Company  may not be able to pass on the
increased costs  associated with providing health care services to patients with
government or managed care payors, unless such payors  correspondingly  increase
reimbursement rates.

GENERAL

       Revenue Trends. Future trends for revenue and profitability are difficult
to predict;  however,  the Company believes there will be continuing pressure to
reduce  costs  and  develop  integrated  delivery  systems  with  geographically
concentrated  service  capabilities.  Accomplishment  of these objectives can be
achieved  through the  continuation of strategic  acquisitions  and affiliations
with other health care providers. Such acquisitions and affiliations enhance the
Company's  ability to: 1) negotiate  with managed care providers in each area of
geographic concentration; 2) negotiate reduced costs with vendors; 3) acquire or
create  physician  groups;  and 4)  reduce  duplication  of  services  in  local
communities. The Company believes acquisitions and affiliations are still highly
probable as the investor-owned hospitals represent only approximately 15% of the
hospital industry as of November 30, 1996.

       Health Care  Reform.  The Company  derives a  substantial  portion of its
revenue from third party payors,  including the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.
During the three months ended November 30, 1995 and 1996, the Company derived an
aggregate  of 57.7%  and  51.0%,  respectively,  of its gross  revenue  from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs.

        Changes in existing governmental  reimbursement programs in recent years
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 the rate of increase in reimbursement levels. In addition, private
payors, including managed care payors, increasingly are demanding discounted fee
structures or the assumption by health care providers of all or a portion of the
financial risk through prepaid capitation  arrangements.  Inpatient utilization,
average lengths of stay and occupancy  rates continue to be negatively  affected
by  payor-required  pre-admission  authorization  and utilization  review and by
payor  pressure to maximize  outpatient  and  alternative  health care  delivery
services for less acutely ill patients.  In addition,  efforts to impose reduced
allowances, greater discounts and more stringent cost controls by government and
13ringent cost controls by government and

                                       13
<PAGE>
other payors are expected to continue.

       Significant  limits on  reimbursement  rates could  adversely  affect the
Company's  results of  operations.  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.

       Technological  Changes.  The rapid  technological  changes in health care
services will continue to require significant expenditures for new equipment and
updating  of  physical  facilities.  The  Company  believes  that the cash flows
generated by the Company's operations together with availability of credit under
the Company's Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's short and
long-term cash needs for capital expenditures and operations.

       Excess  Capacity.  Excess  capacity in  medical/surgical  hospitals  will
require the Company to continue to shift  resources from  traditional  inpatient
care to various  outpatient  activities.  The Company's  ability to  effectively
shift those resources and maintain market share will have a direct impact on the
continued profitability of the Company.

       Marketing  Expense.  Marketing  expense is  expected  to  increase in the
future as the Company  increases  efforts to gain  market  share in its areas of
geographic  concentration.  Additional  marketing  will be necessary to increase
awareness  of the services  provided by the  Company's  facilities  in the local
market place and distinguish its facilities from their competitors.

       Tax Rate.  The  Company  expects  its  effective  tax rate to increase to
approximately  30% for fiscal 1997 due to recent  acquisitions.  This  estimated
rate does not reflect the effect of any pending acquisitions which may cause the
rate to increase.  Additionally,  the Company  expects its effective tax rate to
approximate 38% by fiscal 1998.

       Stock. The Company's stock price is subject to significant volatility. If
revenues or earnings fail to meet expectations of the investment community or if
the  regulators  allege that the Company is materially in violation of the fraud
and abuse or  physician  self-referral  laws,  there could be an  immediate  and
significant  impact on the trading  price for the  Company's  stock.  Because of
stock market forces beyond the Company's control and the nature of its business,
such shortfalls can be sudden. The Tenet merger noted above could have an impact
on the price of the Company's stock.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        In  respect  of the  disclosure  under the  caption  "Summit  Health OIG
Investigation"  found on page 25 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K(the
"Form   10-K")  for  the  fiscal   year   ended   August  31,   1996  (the  "OIG
Investigation"), the Company has recently become aware that in July 1995 a civil
qui tam action  was filed  against  Midway  Hospital  Medical  Center,  Inc.  (a
subsidiary  of the  Company  which owns  Midway  Hospital  Medical  Center,  Los
Angeles,  California  ("Midway  Hospital")),  Summit  Health  Ltd.  (a  hospital
management  company acquired by the Company in April 1994 ("Summit Health")) and
the Company in the United  States  District  Court for the  Central  District of
California (the "California Action"). The California Action originally was filed
under a  court-ordered  seal that  prohibited  the Company from  disclosing  the
action  prior to this time.  The Company  believes  that the  California  Action
provided  the  basis  for the  investigative  subpoena  from the  Office  of the
Inspector  General of the United States  Department of Health and Human Services
(the "OIG")  that was served on the  Company in February  1996 in respect of the
OIG Investigation.

         The  California  Action  alleges,  among other things,  that there were
violations  of the federal  False Claims Act and the federal fraud and abuse and
anti-kickback  provisions of the Medicare and Medicaid  laws in connection  with
certain of Midway Hospital's compensation arrangements with its physicians.  The
California  Action alleges that as a result of this allegedly  wrongful conduct,
the United States is entitled to monetary damages and penalties.  The California
Action  also  alleges in a second  cause of action  violations  of the fraud and
abuse,  medical staff and wrongful discharge laws of the State of California and
claims as a result of such  wrongful  conduct  compensatory  as well as punitive
damages.

        As  disclosed  in the  Company's  Form 10-K,  the OIG has  expanded  the
California  Action,  which  initially  related  to  only  one of  the  Company's
hospitals (Midway Hospital,  which was acquired from Summit Health), and the OIG
Investigation  to 11 other former Summit Health  hospitals owned by the Company.
In an apparently  unrelated matter, the government has requested and the Company
has provided  records from a single  hospital  outside the group  acquired  from
Summit Health.  The Company is fully  cooperating  with the OIG. The Company and
its outside counsel have held numerous  meetings with government  attorneys with
respect to this  matter  and, as a result,  the  Company  believes  that the OIG
Investigation  continues  to  be a  civil  investigation  focused  primarily  on
arrangements  between  physicians  and the hospitals  that may violate  Medicare
rules and  regulations  and not on the hospitals'  Medicare or Medicaid  billing
practices.  If the outcome of the California  Action or OIG  Investigation  were
unfavorable,  the  Company  could be subject  to fines,  penalties  and  damages
("Monetary  Payments")  and also  could be  excluded  from  Medicare  and  other
government  reimbursement  programs,  which Monetary Payments or exclusion could
have a material adverse affect on the Company's  financial  condition or results
of operations.  The result of the California  Action,  the OIG Investigation and
their impact,  if any,  cannot be predicted or estimated at this time.  Based on
information currently available to it, however,  management believes that if the
California  Action  and  the  OIG  Investigation  remain  primarily  limited  to
physician  arrangements,  remain civil in nature and, with the exception of only
one of the  hospitals,  relate only to the practices of the former Summit Health
hospitals,  the final outcome of the California Action and the OIG Investigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial condition or
results of operations.
 
        The Company is not aware of any additional litigation or investigations
concerning the matters described above. There can be no assurance, however, that
in the event any such additional  litigation or  investigation is instituted and
there is an unfavorable  outcome,  such result would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

                     AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Amendment")
dated as of  December  1, 1996,  by and  between  OrNda  HealthCorp,  a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and William L. Hough (the "Executive").

        WHEREAS,  the Company and the  Executive  executed a certain  Employment
Agreement  (the  "Employment  Agreement")  dated as of May 1, 1996,  relating to
Executive's employment with the Company;

        WHEREAS,  pursuant to the Employment  Agreement the Executive  currently
serves as Executive  Vice President and Chief  Operating  Officer of the Company
and has served in such capacity since August, 1995;

        WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of October 16, 1996, pursuant to which
a wholly owned  subsidiary of Tenet  Healthcare  Corporation  ("Tenet")  will be
merged with and into the Company, at which time the Company will become a wholly
owned  subsidiary of Tenet (the  "Merger") and the approval of the Merger by the
Company's  stockholders  will  constitute  a "Change  of  Control"  under and as
defined in the Employment Agreement;

        WHEREAS,  to induce the  Executive  to remain in the  employment  of the
Company at least during the  transition  period  beginning  October 16, 1996 and
ending with the effective  time of the Merger , the Company  wishes to amend the
Employment  Agreement in order to prepay prior to December 31, 1996 to Executive
a portion of the  severance  compensation  that would be later due to  Executive
under the Employment Agreement following Executive's qualifying termination from
employment with the Company after a "Change of Control," as such term is defined
in the Employment Agreement.

        WHEREAS,  the Compensation  Committee (the "Compensation  Committee") of
the Company's  Board of Directors  (the "Board") has approved and authorized the
Company's entry in this Amendment with the Executive.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

                                       I.

        The following new Section 26 is added to the Employment Agreement:

        "26.        The Advance.  On or prior to December 31, 1996, the
        Company will make a lump sum cash payment to Executive (the
        "Advance") in an amount equal to $2,130,000 (the "Advance"), as an
        advance payment of a portion of the benefits that are payable to
        Executive  under Section  ll(d)(ii) of this  Agreement in the event of a
        Change  in  Control  of  Company  and  the
<PAGE>
        subsequent   termination  of Executive's  employment  under the
        circumstances  described  in Section 11(d). In the event of the
        termination of Executive's  employment  under the circumstances
        described in Section 11(d) of this Agreement, the lump sum cash payment
        to which  Executive will then be entitled under Section 11(d)(ii) of
        this Agreement in connection with such  termination will be reduced by
        an amount equal to the Advance and will  otherwise be paid to Executive
        in accordance with Section 11(d)(iv) of this Agreement. In the event
        that  (x)  the  merger  of a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Tenet
        Healthcare  Corporation ("Tenet") into the Company (the "Merger") is not
        consummated on or prior to August 1, 1997 (the "Expiration Date") or (y)
        Executive's   employment  is  not  terminated  under  the  circumstances
        described  in  Section  11(d)  of  this  Agreement  prior  to the  first
        anniversary   of  the   effective   time  of  the  Merger   (the  "First
        Anniversary"),  Executive's base salary,  annual and long-term incentive
        compensation bonuses, stock option compensation,  severance payments and
        other  compensation  will be reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the
        Advance  in  such  manner  and in  such  increments  as  Company  or the
        surviving  corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving  Corporation"),  as
        the case may be, deems appropriate; provided, however, that in the event
        Executive's employment is terminated by Executive without Good Reason or
        by Tenet,  Company or the Surviving  Corporation for "cause" (as defined
        in this  Agreement),  Executive  shall repay to Company  within ten (10)
        business days  following the date of such  termination  of employment an
        amount  equal to the  excess,  if any,  of (a) the amount of the Advance
        over (b) the  aggregate  amount by which the  Executive's  base  salary,
        annual  and  long-term  incentive  compensation  bonuses,  stock  option
        compensation,  severance  payments  and  other  compensation  have  been
        reduced as provided above. In addition,  the Company agrees to take such
        reasonable  actions as may be necessary  to preserve  the  deductibility
        under  section  162(m)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of the  Advance,
        including  (without  limitation) by terminating  Executive's  employment
        with or  position  as an  executive  officer  of  Company  prior  to the
        effective time of the Merger  (Executive  hereby agreeing to approve and
        cooperate  with any such requested  termination),  provided that no such
        action will be taken that would adversely affect Executive's entitlement
        to the  severance  benefits  provided  under  Section  11(d)(ii) of this
        Agreement  or  preclude  the  acceleration  of  the   exercisability  of
        Executive's  employee  stock options  pursuant to the terms of Company's
        1994 Management Equity Plan.

                                       II.

        In all other  respects the Employment  Agreement is hereby  ratified and
confirmed.
