Amendment  No. 1 to its Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December

31, 1995 to amend Items 7, 8 and 14 thereof to reflect  the  restatement  of its

audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1994 and 1995, and for

the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, and the resulting revisions to

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of

Operations,  to reflect the effects of  HEALTHSOUTH'S  acquisitions  of Surgical

Care  Affiliates,  Inc.  ("SCA") and Advantage  Health  Corporation  ("Advantage

Health").  HEALTHSOUTH  acquired both SCA and Advantage  Health during the first

quarter  of 1996,  in  transactions  that  were  accounted  for as  poolings  of

interests.

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


General

         The following  discussion is intended to facilitate  the  understanding
and  assessment  of  significant  changes  and trends  related to the results of
operations and financial  condition of the Company,  including  certain  factors
related to recent  acquisitions  by the Company,  the timing and nature of which
have significantly affected the Company's results of operations. This discussion
and  analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

         The Company  completed  the  following  acquisitions  over the last two
years:

          *       On December 31, 1993,  HEALTHSOUTH acquired  substantially all
                  of the  assets  of the  rehabilitation  services  division  of
                  National   Medical   Enterprises,   Inc.  (the  "NME  Selected
                  Hospitals Acquisition").  The purchase price was approximately
                  $315,000,000,  plus net working capital.  The Company acquired
                  28 inpatient rehabilitation  facilities,  with an aggregate of
                  2,296 licensed beds, and 45 outpatient rehabilitation centers.

          *       On December 29, 1994,  HEALTHSOUTH  acquired ReLife, Inc. (the
                  "ReLife  Acquisition").   A  total  of  11,025,290  shares  of
                  HEALTHSOUTH  Common  Stock  were  issued  in the  transaction,
                  representing  a  value  of  $180,000,000  at the  time  of the
                  acquisition.  At  that  time,  ReLife  operated  31  inpatient
                  facilities with an aggregate of 1,102 licensed beds, including
                  nine  freestanding   rehabilitation   hospitals,   nine  acute
                  rehabilitation  units,  five sub-acute  rehabilitation  units,
                  seven transitional living units and one residential  facility,
                  and also  provided  outpatient  rehabilitation  services at 12
                  centers.

         *        Effective   April  1,  1995,    HEALTHSOUTH    purchased   the
                  operations  of  the   rehabilitation   hospital   division  of
                  NovaCare,   Inc.  (the  "NovaCare   Rehabilitation   Hospitals
                  Acquisition").    The   purchase   price   was   approximately
                  $235,000,000.  The NovaCare Rehabilitation Hospitals consisted
                  of 11  rehabilitation  hospitals  in  seven  states,  12 other
                  facilities and two Certificates of Need.

         *        On June  13,  1995,   HEALTHSOUTH   acquired  Surgical  Health
                  Corporation  (the  "SHC  Acquisition").  A total of  8,531,480
                  shares  of  HEALTHSOUTH   Common  Stock  were  issued  in  the
                  transaction,  representing a value of $155,000,000 at the time
                  of  the   acquisition.   The  Company  also  purchased   SHC's
                  $75,000,000   aggregate   principal  amount  of  11.5%  Senior
                  Subordinated Notes due 2004 for an aggregate  consideration of
                  approximately  $86,000,000.  At  that  time,  SHC  operated  a
                  network of 36 freestanding  surgery centers in 11 states,  and
                  five mobile lithotripsy units.

         *        On  October 26, 1995,   HEALTHSOUTH  acquired  Sutter  Surgery
                  Centers,  Inc. (the "SSCI Acquisition").  A total of 1,776,001
                  shares  of  HEALTHSOUTH   Common  Stock  were  issued  in  the
                  transaction,  representing  a value of $44,444,000 at the time
                  of the  acquisition.  At that time, SSCI operated a network of
                  12  freestanding  surgery  centers  in three  states,  with an
                  aggregate of 54 operating and procedure rooms.

         *        December 1, 1995,  HEALTHSOUTH  acquired  Caremark  Orthopedic
                  Services Inc. (the "Caremark Acquisition"). The purchase price
                  was  approximately  $127,500,000.  At that time Caremark owned
                  and  operated  approximately  120  outpatient   rehabilitation
                  centers in thirteen states.


                                     - 3 -

         *        On  January 17,  1996,  HEALTHSOUTH   acquired  Surgical  Care
                  Affiliates,   Inc.  (the  "SCA   Acquisition").   A  total  of
                  45,928,339  shares of HEALTHSOUTH  Common Stock were issued in
                  the   transaction,   representing  a  value  of  approximately
                  $1,400,000,000.  At that  time,  SCA  operated a network of 67
                  freestanding surgery centers in 24 states.

         *        On March  14,  1996,  HEALTHSOUTH  acquired  Advantage  Health
                  Corporation (the "Advantage Health  Acquisition").  A total of
                  9,101,989  shares of  HEALTHSOUTH  Common Stock were issued in
                  the   transaction,   representing  a  value  of  approximately
                  $315,000,000.  At  that  time,  Advantage  Health  operated  a
                  network of 136 sites of service,  including four  freestanding
                  rehabilitation hospitals, one freestanding multi-use hospital,
                  one nursing home, 68 outpatient rehabilitation  facilities, 14
                  inpatient  managed  rehabilitation  units,  24  rehabilitation
                  services  management   contracts  and  six  managed  sub-acute
                  rehabilitation  units,  primarily  located in the northeastern
                  United States.

         The NME Selected  Hospitals  Acquisition,  the NovaCare  Rehabilitation
Hospitals Acquisition and the Caremark Acquisition each were accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, such operations are included
in the Company's  consolidated financial information from their respective dates
of  acquisition.   The  ReLife  Acquisition,   the  SHC  Acquisition,  the  SSCI
Acquisition,  the SCA Acquisition and the Advantage Health Acquisition were each
accounted  for as a pooling of  interests  and,  with the  exception of data set
forth relating to revenues derived from Medicare and Medicaid, all amounts shown
in the following  discussion  have been  restated to reflect such  acquisitions.
ReLife,  SHC,  SSCI,  SCA and  Advantage  Health did not  separately  track such
revenues.  The  results  of  operations  of  SHC  in  turn  reflect  SHC's  1994
acquisition of Heritage Surgical Corporation (the "Heritage Acquisition"), which
also was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

         The Company determines the amortization period of the cost in excess of
net asset value of purchased  facilities based on an evaluation of the facts and
circumstances of each individual purchase  transaction.  The evaluation includes
an analysis of historic and projected  financial  performance,  an evaluation of
the  estimated  useful life of the  buildings  and fixed  assets  acquired,  the
indefinite  useful  life of  certificates  of need and  licenses  acquired,  the
competition  within local markets,  lease terms where applicable,  and the legal
terms  of  partnerships  where  applicable.  The  Company  utilizes  independent
appraisers and relies on its own management  expertise in evaluating each of the
factors  noted above.  With respect to the carrying  value of the excess of cost
over net asset value of purchased  facilities and other intangible  assets,  the
Company determines on a quarterly basis whether an impairment event has occurred
by  considering  factors  such as the market value of the asset,  a  significant
adverse  change in legal factors or in the business  climate,  adverse action by
regulators,  history of operating losses or cash flow losses, or a projection of
continuing  losses  associated with an operating  entity.  The carrying value of
excess cost over net asset value of purchased  facilities  and other  intangible
assets will be evaluated if the facts and circumstances suggest that it has been
impaired.  If this evaluation  indicates that the value of the asset will not be
recoverable,  as determined based on the  undiscounted  cash flows of the entity
acquired  over  the  remaining   amortization  period,  an  impairment  loss  is
calculated  based on the  excess of the  carrying  value of the  asset  over the
asset's fair value.

         Governmental,   commercial   and  private   payors  have   increasingly
recognized  the need to  contain  their  costs for  healthcare  services.  These
payors,  accordingly,  are  turning  to closer  monitoring  of  services,  prior
authorization  requirements,  utilization  review and increased  utilization  of
outpatient  services.  During the  periods  discussed  below,  the  Company  has
experienced  an  increased  effort by these  payors  to  contain  costs  through
negotiated  discount pricing.  The Company views these efforts as an opportunity
to demonstrate  the  effectiveness  of its clinical  programs and its ability to
provide its  rehabilitative  healthcare  services  efficiently.  The Company has
entered  into a number of  contracts  with  payors to provide  services  and has
realized an increased volume of patients as a result.

         The Company's  revenues  include net patient service revenues and other
operating  revenues.  Net patient service revenues are reported at estimated net
realizable  amounts  from  patients,  insurance  companies,  third-party  payors
(primarily  Medicare and  Medicaid) and others for services  rendered.  Revenues
from third-party  payors also include  estimated  retroactive  adjustments under
reimbursement agreements which are subject to final review and

                                      - 4 -

settlement by  appropriate  authorities.  Management  determines  allowances for
doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments based on historical experience and
the terms of payor contracts. Net accounts receivable include only those amounts
estimated by management to be collectible.  The Company, in many cases, operates
more than one site within a market.  In such markets,  there is  customarily  an
outpatient  center or inpatient  facility with associated  satellite  outpatient
locations.  For purposes of the following  discussion  and analysis,  same store
operations are measured on locations within markets in which similar  operations
existed  at the end of the period  and  include  the  operations  of  additional
locations  opened within the same market.  New store  operations are measured on
locations within new markets.

Results of Operations of the Company

Twelve-Month Periods Ended December 31, 1993 and 1994

         The  Company  operated  283  outpatient   rehabilitation  locations  at
December  31,  1994,  compared to 203  outpatient  rehabilitation  locations  at
December 31, 1993. In addition,  the Company  operated 82 inpatient  facilities,
112 surgery centers and five medical  centers at December 31, 1994,  compared to
51 inpatient facilities, 95 surgery centers and four medical centers at December
31, 1993.

         The Company's  operations generated revenues of $1,649,199,000 in 1994,
an increase of $669,993,000,  or 68.4%, as compared to 1993 revenues. Same store
revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994 were  $1,118,743,000,  an
increase of $139,537,000,  or 14.3%, as compared to the same period in 1993. New
store revenues for 1994 were $530,456,000.  New store revenues primarily reflect
the  28  inpatient  rehabilitation   facilities  and  45  associated  outpatient
rehabilitation locations associated with the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition.
The  increase in revenues is  primarily  attributable  to the  addition of these
operations  and increases in patient  volume.  Revenues  generated from patients
under Medicare and Medicaid plans  respectively  accounted for 41.0% and 3.2% of
revenues for 1994, compared to 30.6% and 1.0% of revenues for 1993. The increase
in Medicare  revenues is primarily  attributable  to the NME Selected  Hospitals
Acquisition,  since the acquired facilities had a greater proportion of Medicare
patients than the Company's  historical  experience in its existing  facilities.
Revenues  from any  other  single  third-party  payor  were not  significant  in
relation to the Company's  revenues.  During 1994, same store outpatient visits,
inpatient  days and  surgery  center  cases  increased  21.9%,  18.8%  and 4.4%,
respectively.  Revenue per outpatient visit,  inpatient day and surgery case for
the same store operations decreased by 8.1%, 6.2% and 0.4%, respectively.

         Operating expenses,  at the operating unit level, were  $1,161,758,000,
or 70.4% of revenues,  for 1994,  compared to 68.2% of revenues  for 1993.  Same
store  operating  expenses  for 1994  were  $796,343,000,  or  71.2% of  related
revenues.  New store operating expenses were  $365,415,000,  or 68.9% of related
revenues.   Corporate  general  and   administrative   expenses  increased  from
$37,043,000  in 1993 to  $61,640,000  in  1994.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,
corporate general and administrative expense decreased from 3.8% in 1993 to 3.7%
in 1994. Total operating expenses were $1,223,398,000, or 74.2% of revenues, for
1994,  compared to $705,244,000,  or 72.0% of revenues,  for 1993. The provision
for doubtful accounts was $32,904,000,  or 2.0% of revenues,  for 1994, compared
to $20,026,000, or 2.0% of revenues, for 1993.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  was  $113,977,000  for  1994,
compared to  $63,572,000  for 1993.  The increase  represents  the investment in
additional  assets by the Company.  Interest expense increased to $73,644,000 in
1994,  compared to  $24,200,000  for 1993,  primarily  because of the  increased
borrowings  during the year under the Company's  revolving  line of credit,  the
issuance of $250,000,000  principal amount of 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2001  and the  issuance  of  $115,000,000  principal  amount  of 5%  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures due 2001.  For 1994,  interest  income was  $6,387,000,
compared to $5,903,000 for 1993.

         As a result of the NME  Selected  Hospitals  Acquisition,  the  Company
recognized  an  expense  of  approximately  $49,742,000  during  the year  ended
December  31,  1993.  By   recognizing   this  expense,   the  Company   accrued
approximately  $3,000,000 for costs related to certain employee  separations and
relocations. In addition,

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>


the Company  provided  approximately  $39,000,000  for the write-down of certain
assets to net realizable value as the result of planned facility consolidations,
and   approximately   $7,700,000  for  the  write-off  of  certain   capitalized
development  projects.  The  consolidations  are applicable in selected  markets
where the Company's services overlap with those of the acquired facilities.  The
costs of development  projects in certain  target  markets that were  previously
capitalized were written off due to the acquisition of NME facilities in or near
those markets.  For further  discussion,  see Note 10 of "Notes to  Consolidated
Financial Statements".

         During 1994 and 1995, the Company  completed the  implementation of the
plan of consolidation  related to the NME Selected  Hospitals  Acquisition.  The
accrual for costs related to employee  separations was increased by $338,000 due
to a change in estimate.  This adjustment was charged to operations in 1994. The
total  accrual was then  reduced by  approximately  $758,000 and  $2,580,000  in
actual  employee  separation  costs  during  1994  and  1995,  respectively.  In
addition,  assets  with a net book value of  $17,911,000  and  $21,089,000  were
written  off against the  $39,000,000  provided  for in the plan during 1994 and
1995,  respectively.  Finally,  the Company  wrote off all of the  $7,700,000 in
capitalized development projects provided for in the plan during 1994.

         Merger and acquisition related expenses in 1994 of $6,520,000 represent
costs incurred or accrued in connection with  completing the ReLife  Acquisition
($2,949,000) and the Heritage Acquisition ($3,571,000).  For further discussion,
see Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".

         During 1994, the Company recognized a $10,500,000 loss on impairment of
assets.  This amount relates to the termination of a ReLife management  contract
and a permanently damaged ReLife facility. The Company determined not to attempt
to reopen such  damaged  facility  because,  under its existing  licensure,  the
facility was not  consistent  with the Company's  plans.  Also during 1994,  the
Company  recognized  a  $4,500,000  loss on  abandonment  of a  ReLife  computer
project. For further discussion, see Note 17 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements".

         During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company adopted a formal plan to
dispose of three  surgery  centers and certain  other  properties  during fiscal
1995.  Accordingly,  a charge of  $13,197,000  was made to reflect the  expected
losses  resulting from the disposal of these centers.  The closings of the three
surgery centers was completed by December 31, 1995. For further discussion,  see
Note 15 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".

         Income  before  minority  interests  and  income  taxes  for  1994  was
$184,673,000,  compared to $123,392,000  for 1993.  Minority  interests  reduced
income before income taxes by  $31,469,000  in 1994,  compared to $29,377,000 in
1993.  The  provision  for income  taxes for 1994 was  $65,121,000,  compared to
$37,993,000  for 1993,  resulting in  effective  tax rates of 42.5% for 1994 and
40.4% for 1993. Net income for 1994 was $88,083,000.

Twelve-Month Periods Ended December 31, 1994 and 1995

         The  Company  operated  537  outpatient   rehabilitation  locations  at
December  31,  1995,  compared to 283  outpatient  rehabilitation  locations  at
December 31, 1994. In addition,  the Company  operated 95 inpatient  facilities,
122 surgery centers and five medical  centers at December 31, 1995,  compared to
82  inpatient  facilities,  112  surgery  centers  and five  medical  centers at
December 31, 1994.

         The Company's  operations generated revenues of $2,003,146,000 in 1995,
an increase of $353,947,000,  or 21.5%, as compared to 1994 revenues. Same store
revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 were  $1,817,359,000,  an
increase of $168,160,000,  or 10.2%, as compared to the same period in 1994. New
store revenues for 1995 were $185,787,000. New store revenues reflect (1) the 11
rehabilitation  hospitals and 12 other  facilities  associated with the Novacare
Rehabilitation  Hospitals  Acquisition,  (2) the 120  outpatient  rehabilitation
centers  associated with the Caremark  Acquisition,  (3) the acquisition of five
surgery centers and one outpatient  diagnostic  imaging  operation,  and (4) the
acquisition of outpatient rehabilitation operations in 34 new markets. See

<PAGE>


Note 10 of  "Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements".  The  increase  in
revenues is  primarily  attributable  to the  addition of these  operations  and
increases in patient volume. Revenues generated from patients under Medicare and
Medicaid plans  respectively  accounted for 40.0% and 2.5% of total revenues for
1995,  compared to 41.0% and 3.2% of total revenues for 1994.  Revenues from any
other single third-party payor were not significant in relation to the Company's
total revenues.  During 1995, same store outpatient  visits,  inpatient days and
surgery center cases increased 21.7%, 10.8% and 4.8%, respectively.  Revenue per
outpatient  visit,  inpatient  day and  surgery  case for same store  operations
increased (decreased) by 0.8%, 2.5% and (0.9)%, respectively.

         Operating expenses,  at the operating unit level, were  $1,371,740,000,
or 68.5% of revenues,  for 1995,  compared to 70.4% of revenues  for 1994.  Same
store  operating  expenses  for 1995 were  $1,243,508,000,  or 68.4% of  related
revenues.  New store operating expenses were  $128,232,000,  or 69.0% of related
revenues.   Corporate  general  and   administrative   expenses  decreased  from
$61,640,000  in 1994 to  $56,920,000  in  1995.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,
corporate  general and  administrative  expenses  decreased from 3.7% in 1994 to
2.8% in  1995.  Total  operating  expenses  were  $1,428,660,000,  or  71.3%  of
revenues, for 1995, compared to $1,223,398,000,  or 74.2% of revenues, for 1994.
The provision for doubtful  accounts was $37,659,000,  or 1.9% of revenues,  for
1995, compared to $32,904,000, or 2.0% of revenues, for 1994.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  was  $143,322,000  for  1995,
compared to $113,977,000 for 1994. The increase  resulted from the investment in
additional assets by the Company.  Interest expense increased to $101,790,000 in
1995,  compared to  $73,644,000  for 1994,  primarily  because of the  increased
average borrowings during 1995 under the Company's revolving line of credit. For
1995, interest income was $7,882,000 compared to $6,387,000 for 1994.

         As  a  result  of  the  NovaCare  and  SHC  acquisitions,  the  Company
recognized  $29,194,000 in merger and  acquisition  related  expenses during the
second quarter of 1995. Fees related to legal, accounting and financial advisory
services accounted for $3,400,000 of the expense.  Costs and expenses related to
the purchase of the SHC Notes (see " --  Liquidity  and Capital  Resources"  and
Note 7 of "Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements")  totaled  $14,606,000.
Accruals for employee  separations were approximately  $1,188,000.  In addition,
the Company  provided  approximately  $10,000,000  for the write-down of certain
assets  to  net   realizable   value  as  the  result  of  a  planned   facility
consolidation.  The  consolidation is applicable in a market where the Company's
existing  services  overlap  with those of an  acquired  facility.  The  planned
employee  separations  and facility  consolidation  were completed by the end of
1995.

         In the fourth  quarter of 1995, the Company  incurred  direct costs and
expenses of $4,965,000 in connection with the SSCI  Acquisition.  These expenses
consist  primarily of fees related to legal,  accounting and financial  advisory
services and are  included in merger and  acquisition  related  expenses for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

         Also  during  1995,  the  Company  recognized  a  $53,549,000  loss  on
impairment of assets. The impaired assets relate to six SHC facilities and eight
SCA  facilities in which the projected  undiscounted  cash flows did not support
the book  value of the  long-lived  assets  of such  facilities.  See Note 17 of
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".

         Income  before  minority  interests  and  income  taxes  for  1995  was
$211,889,000,  compared to $184,673,000  for 1994.  Minority  interests  reduced
income before income taxes by $43,147,000, compared to $31,469,000 for 1994. The
provision for income taxes for 1995 was $76,221,000, compared to $65,121,000 for
1994, resulting in effective tax rates of 45.2% for 1995 and 42.5% for 1994. Net
income for 1995 was $92,521,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At December 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of  $406,125,000,
including cash and marketable  securities of  $156,321,000.  Working  capital at
December 31, 1994 was $282,667,000,  including cash and marketable securities of
$129,971,000.  For 1995, cash provided by operations was $306,157,000,  compared
to $258,272,000 for 1994. The Company used $764,825,000 for investing activities
during 1995, compared to $324,876,000 for 1994. Additions to property, plant and
equipment  and  acquisitions   accounted  for  $172,172,000  and   $493,914,000,
respectively,  during  1995.  Those  same  investing  activities  accounted  for
$195,297,000  and  $116,650,000,  respectively,  in 1994.  Financing  activities
provided  $494,100,000 and $58,975,000 during 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Net
borrowing proceeds (borrowings less principal reductions) for 1995 and 1994 were
$213,155,000 and $88,017,000, respectively.

         Net  accounts  receivable  were  $409,150,000  at  December  31,  1995,
compared to  $307,950,000  at December 31,  1994.  The number of days of average
revenues in average  receivables was 63.2 at December 31, 1995, compared to 59.3
at December 31, 1994. The increase is primarily  attributable  to  approximately
$68,300,000 in net accounts  receivable  obtained  through  acquisitions  during
1995,  since the days'  revenues  in net  accounts  receivable  of the  acquired
facilities was generally greater than the Company's historical experience in its
existing facilities.

         The  Company  has  a  $1,000,000,000  revolving  line  of  credit  with
NationsBank, N.A. (Carolinas) and 28 other participating banks. Interest is paid
based on LIBOR plus a predetermined  margin,  a base rate or  competitively  bid
rates from the participating  banks. This credit facility has a maturity date of
October  1, 2000.  The  Company  provided  a  negative  pledge on all assets and
granted the banks a first priority  security  interest in all shares of stock of
its  subsidiaries and rights and interests in its controlled  partnerships.  The
effective interest rate on the average  outstanding  balance under the revolving
line of credit was 7.01% for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995, compared
to the average prime rate of 8.83% during the same period. At December 31, 1995,
the Company had drawn  $790,000,000 under its revolving line of credit. On April
18, 1996,  the credit  facility was amended and restated to increase the maximum
amount  available  thereunder  to  $1,250,000,000  and to eliminate the security
interests   thereunder.   See  Note  7  of  "Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial
Statements".

         On June 20, 1995, the Company purchased  $67,500,000 of the $75,000,000
outstanding  principal amount of 11.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 of SHC
for 115% of the face value of the Notes. In July 1995, the remaining  $7,500,000
balance was purchased on the open market.  See Note 7 of "Notes to  Consolidated
Financial Statements".

         The  Company  intends  to pursue  the  acquisition  or  development  of
additional   healthcare   operations,    including   comprehensive    outpatient
rehabilitation  facilities,  inpatient  rehabilitation  facilities,   ambulatory
surgery centers and companies engaged in the provision of rehabilitation-related
services,  and to expand  certain of its  existing  facilities.  While it is not
possible to estimate  precisely  the amounts  which will actually be expended in
the foregoing areas,  the Company  anticipates that over the next twelve months,
it will spend  approximately  $30,000,000  on  maintenance  and expansion of its
existing  facilities  and  approximately  $150,000,000  on  development  of  the
Integrated Service Model. See Item 1, "Business -- Company Strategy".

         Although  the  Company  is  continually   considering   and  evaluating
acquisitions and  opportunities  for future growth,  the Company has not entered
into any agreements  with respect to material future  acquisitions.  The Company
believes that existing cash, cash flow from operations, and borrowings under the
revolving  line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's  estimated
cash requirements for the next twelve months, and for the reasonably foreseeable
future.

         Inflation  in  recent  years  has not had a  significant  effect of the
Company's  business,  and is not expected to adversely affect the Company in the
future unless it increases significantly.

                Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
HEALTHSOUTH Corporation

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation  and  Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1995.  Our audits  also
included the  financial  statement  schedule  listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial  statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and schedule 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  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
consolidated  results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  Also, in our opinion,  the related  financial
statement  schedule,   when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial
statements  taken as a whole,  presents  fairly  in all  material  respects  the
information set forth therein.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1995

                                                                               
 1.  Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the Company) are presented as an integral part of the consolidated
financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  restated for all periods to
account for the mergers with Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc. and Advantage Health
Corporation  effective  January 17, 1996 and March 14, 1996,  respectively  (see
Note 2).

Principles of Consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts  of  HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation  ("HEALTHSOUTH") and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  as well as its
limited  partnerships  (see Note 9). All significant  intercompany  accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation  is engaged in the business of providing  comprehensive
rehabilitative,  clinical and surgical  healthcare  services on an inpatient and
outpatient basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the  accompanying   consolidated   financial
statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Marketable Securities

Marketable   equity   securities   and  debt   securities   are   classified  as
available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale  securities  are  carried at fair value,
with the  unrealized  gains and  losses,  if  material,  reported  as a separate
component  of  stockholders'   equity,  net  of  tax.  During  1994,  marketable
securities consisting of $13,360,507 of common stock were sold and the resulting
gain was recognized in the consolidated  statement of income.  The adjusted cost
of the specific security sold method is used to compute gain or loss on the sale
of   securities.   Interest  and   dividends   on   securities   classified   as
available-for-sale   are  included  in  investment  income.   Marketable  equity
securities and debt  securities of the Company have  maturities of less than one
year.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable and Third-Party Reimbursement Activities

Receivables  from  patients,  insurance  companies and  third-party  contractual
insured accounts  (Medicare and Medicaid) are based on payment  agreements which
generally  result  in the  Company  collecting  an  amount  different  from  the
established rates. Final determination of the settlement is subject to review by
appropriate authorities.  Adequate allowances are provided for doubtful accounts
and contractual adjustments.  Uncollectible accounts are written off against the
allowance for doubtful accounts after adequate  collection efforts are made. Net
accounts  receivable  include only those  amounts  estimated by management to be
collectible.

The concentration of net accounts receivable from third-party contractual payors
and others, as a percentage of total net accounts receivable, was as follows:

Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

Interest cost incurred during the construction of a facility is capitalized. The
Company incurred interest of $26,864,000, $76,038,000 and $103,731,000, of which
$2,664,000,  $2,394,000 and $1,941,000 was  capitalized,  during 1993,  1994 and
1995, respectively.

Depreciation  and amortization is computed using the  straight-line  method over
the  estimated  useful  lives  of the  assets  or the  term  of  the  lease,  as
appropriate.  The  estimated  useful  life of  buildings  is 30-40 years and the
general range of useful lives for leasehold  improvements,  furniture,  fixtures
and equipment is 10-15 years.

Intangible Assets

Cost in excess of net asset value of purchased  facilities is amortized  over 20
to 40 years using the  straight-line  method.  Organization  and start-up  costs
incurred  prior to opening a new facility and  partnership  formation  costs are
deferred  and  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis over a period of 36 months.
Organization,  partnership  formation  and start-up  costs for a project that is
subsequently  abandoned  are charged to  operations  in that period.  Debt issue
costs  are  amortized  over  the term of the  debt.  Noncompete  agreements  are
amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreements.

Minority Interests

The equity of  minority  investors  in limited  partnerships  of the  Company is
reported on the balance sheet as minority interests. Minority interests reported
in the  consolidated  income statement  reflect the respective  interests in the
income  or  loss  of the  limited  partnerships  attributable  to  the  minority
investors,  the effect of which is removed from the results of operations of the
Company.

Revenues

Revenues include net patient service revenues and other operating revenues.  Net
patient  service  revenues are reported at 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.

Income per Common and Common Equivalent Share

Income per common and common  equivalent share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares and common equivalent shares  outstanding during
the periods, as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split declared in April 1995.
Common  equivalent  shares include dilutive  employees' stock options,  less the
number of treasury  shares  assumed to be purchased  from the proceeds using the
average market price of the Company's  common stock.  Fully diluted earnings per
share  (based  on  145,149,000  shares in 1994 and  154,843,000  shares in 1995)
assumes conversion of the 5% Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures due 2001 (see
Note 7).

Impairment of Assets

In accordance with FASB  Statement No. 121, "Accounting  for the  Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Company records
impairment  losses on  long-lived  assets  used in  operations  when  events and
circumstances  indicate  that the assets might be impaired and the  undiscounted
cash flows  estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amounts of those assets. Effective January 1, 1995, the company adopted FASB 121
to account for long-lived assets.

With respect to the carrying value of the excess of cost over net asset value of
purchased  facilities and other intangible  assets,  the Company determines on a
quarterly basis whether an impairment event has occurred by considering  factors
such as: the market value of the asset;  a significant  adverse  change in legal
factors or in the business climate;  adverse action by a regulator; a history of
operating or cash flow losses or a projection  of continuing  losses  associated
with an operating entity. The carrying value of excess cost over net asset value
of purchased  facilities  and other  intangible  assets will be evaluated if the
facts and  circumstances  suggest that it has been impaired.  If this evaluation
indicates  that the value of the asset will not be  recoverable,  as  determined
based on the  undiscounted  cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining
amortization period, an impairment loss is calculated based on the excess of the
carrying amount of the asset over the asset's fair value.

Stock Option Plan

The Company has elected to follow  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related  Interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative  fair value
accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,"  requires use of option  valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing  employee stock  options.  Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's  employee  stock  options  equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

2. Mergers (continued)

There were no material transactions between the Company,  ReLife, SHC, SSCI, SCA
and  Advantage  Health  prior to the  mergers.  The  effects of  conforming  the
accounting policies of the combined companies are not material.

Prior to its merger with the Company, ReLife reported on a fiscal year ending on
September  30. The restated  financial  statements  for all periods prior to and
including December 31, 1994, are based on a combination of the Company's results
for its December 31 fiscal year and ReLife's results for its September 30 fiscal
year.  Beginning  January 1, 1995, all facilities  acquired in the ReLife merger
adopted a December 31 fiscal year end; accordingly,  all consolidated  financial
statements for periods after December 31, 1994 are based on a  consolidation  of
the  Company  and the former  ReLife  subsidiaries  on a  December  31 year end.
ReLife's  historical  results of operations  for the three months ended December
31, 1994 are not included in the Company's consolidated  statements of income or
cash flows. An adjustment has been made to stockholders' equity as of January 1,
1995 to adjust for the effect of excluding  ReLife's  results of operations  for

The  Company  has  a  19%  ownership   interest  in  Caretenders   Health  Corp.
("Caretenders");  accordingly,  the Company's  investment is being accounted for
using the equity method of accounting.  The  investment was initially  valued at
$7,250,000.  The Company's equity in earnings of Caretenders for the years ended
December 31, 1993,  1994 and 1995 was not material to the  Company's  results of
operations.

It was not  practicable  to  estimate  the fair value of the  Company's  various
investments in other unconsolidated subsidiaries (involved in operations similar
to those of the  Company)  because of the lack of a quoted  market price and the
inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. The carrying
amount at December 31, 1995  represents  the original  cost of the  investments,
which management believes is not impaired.

7.  Long-Term Debt (continued)

During 1994, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with NationsBank,  N.A.
("NationsBank")  and other  participating  banks (the "1994  Credit  Agreement")
which consisted of a $550,000,000 revolving facility and term loan. On April 11,
1995,  the  Company  amended  and  restated  the  1994  Credit   Agreement  with
NationsBank  to  increase  the  size  of  the  revolving   credit   facility  to
$1,000,000,000.  Interest is paid based on LIBOR plus a predetermined  margin, a
base rate, or competitively bid rates from the participating  banks. The Company
is  required  to pay a fee on the unused  portion of the 1994  revolving  credit
facility  ranging from 0.1875% to 0.375%,  depending on certain  defined ratios.
The principal amount is payable in full on October 1, 2000. The Company provided
a negative  pledge of all its assets and has granted a first  priority  security
interest in and lien on all shares of stock of its  subsidiaries  and rights and
interests in its partnerships. At December 31, 1995, the effective interest rate
associated with the 1994 Credit Agreement was approximately 6.56%.

On March 24, 1994,  the Company  issued  $250,000,000  principal  amount of 9.5%
Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2001 (the Notes).  Interest is payable on April 1
and October 1. The Notes are senior subordinated  obligations of the Company and
as such will be subordinated  to all existing and future senior  indebtedness of
the  Company,  and also will be  effectively  subordinated  to all  existing and
future  liabilities of the Company's  subsidiaries and  partnerships.  The Notes
rank senior to all  subordinated  indebtedness of the Company,  including the 5%
Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures due 2001 described below. The Notes mature
on April 1, 2001.

Also on March 24, 1994, the Company issued  $100,000,000  principal amount of 5%
Convertible  Subordinated Debentures due 2001 (the Convertible  Debentures).  An
additional  $15,000,000  of  Convertible  Debentures was issued in April 1994 to
cover underwriters' over allotments.  Interest is payable on April 1 and October
1. The Convertible  Debentures are convertible  into Common Stock of the Company
at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $18.8125 per share, subject
to adjustment in the occurrence of certain events.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and Convertible  Debentures were
used by the  Company  to pay  down  indebtedness  outstanding  under  its  other
existing credit facilities.

7. Long-Term Debt (continued)

In June 1994,  SHC (see Note 2) issued $75 million of 11.5% Senior  Subordinated
Notes due July 15, 2004 (the "SHC  Notes").  The  proceeds of the SHC Notes were
used  to  pay  down   indebtedness   outstanding  under  other  existing  credit
facilities.  During 1995, the Company  purchased  $67,500,000 of the $75,000,000
outstanding  principal amount of the SHC Notes for 115% of the face value of the
Notes and the  remaining  $7,500,000  balance was  purchased on the open market,
using proceeds from the Company's other long-term credit facilities. The loss on
retirement of the SHC Notes totaled approximately $14,606,000. The loss consists
of the premium,  write-off of unamortized bond issue costs and other fees and is
included  in  merger  and  acquisition  related  expenses  in  the  accompanying
consolidated statement of income (see Note 2).

Principal maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

8.  Stock Options

The Company has various  stockholder-approved  stock option plans which  provide
for the grant of options  to  directors,  officers  and other key  employees  to
purchase  Common Stock at 100% of the fair market value as of the date of grant.
The Board of  Directors  administers  the stock  option  plans.  Options  may be
granted as incentive stock options or as non-qualified stock options.  Incentive
stock  options vest 25%  annually,  commencing  upon  completion  of one year of
employment  subsequent  to  the  date  of  grant.  Non-qualified  stock  options

9.  Limited Partnerships

HEALTHSOUTH  operates a number of rehabilitation  and surgery centers as limited
partnerships in which HEALTHSOUTH  serves as the general partner.  These limited
partnerships  are included in the  consolidated  financial  statements  (as more
fully  described in Note 1 under  "Minority  Interests").  The limited  partners
share in the  profit  or loss of the  partnerships  based  on  their  respective
ownership  percentage (ranging from 1% to 50% at December 31, 1995) during their
ownership period.

Beginning in 1992, due to federal and state regulatory requirements, the Company
began the process of buying back selected partnership interests of its physician
limited partners.  The buyback prices for the interests were in general based on
a predetermined multiple of projected cash flows of the partnerships. The excess
of the  buyback  price  over the book  value of the  limited  partners'  capital
amounts was charged to the Company's retained earnings.

10.  Acquisitions

Effective  April 1, 1995,  the Company  acquired  the  rehabilitation  hospitals
division  of  NovaCare,  Inc.  ("NovaCare"),  consisting  of  11  rehabilitation
hospitals,  12 other  facilities,  and  certificates  of need to build two other
facilities.   The  total  purchase   price  for  the  NovaCare   facilities  was
approximately  $235,000,000  in cash.  The cost in excess of net asset value was
approximately  $173,000,000.  Of this  excess,  approximately  $129,000,000  was
allocated to leasehold value and the remaining  $44,000,000 to cost in excess of
net asset value of purchased facilities. As part of the acquisition, the Company
acquired  approximately  $4,790,000  in deferred  tax assets.  The Company  also
provided  approximately  $10,000,000 for the write-down of certain assets to net
realizable  value  as  the  result  of a  planned  facility  consolidation.  The
consolidation  is applicable in a market where the Company's  existing  services
overlap with those of an acquired facility. The planned employee separations and
facility consolidation were completed by the end of 1995.

The Company's  proforma 1995 revenues,  net income and net income per common and
common  equivalent  share  giving  effect  to  the  NovaCare   acquisition  were
$2,042,948,000,  $91,959,000 and $.62, respectively. The Company's proforma 1994
revenues,  net income and net  income  per  common and common  equivalent  share
giving effect to the NovaCare acquisition were  $1,799,805,000,  $87,607,000 and
$.62, respectively.

Effective  December 1, 1995, the Company acquired Caremark  Orthopedic  Services
Inc.  ("Caremark").  Caremark  owns and operates  approximately  120  outpatient
rehabilitation  centers in 13 states. The total purchase price was approximately
$127,500,000 in cash.

Also at various dates during 1995, the Company  acquired 70 separate  outpatient
rehabilitation  operations located throughout the United States,  three physical
therapy  practices,  one home  health  agency,  one  nursing  home,  75 licensed
subacute beds,  five outpatient  surgery  centers and one outpatient  diagnostic
imaging  operation.  The  combined  purchase  prices of these  acquisitions  was
approximately  $136,724,000.  The form of consideration  comprising the combined
purchase prices was approximately  $117,405,000 in cash and $19,319,000 in notes
payable.

In connection  with these  transactions,  the Company  entered into  non-compete
agreements  with  former  owners  totaling   $16,222,000.   In  general,   these
non-compete  agreements  are payable in monthly or quarterly  installments  over
periods ranging from five to ten years.

10. Acquisitions (continued)

The  fair  value of the  total  net  assets  relating  to the 1995  acquisitions
described  above,   excluding  the  NovaCare   acquisition,   was  approximately
$72,844,000. The total cost of these acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the
net assets acquired by approximately  $191,380,000.  The Company  evaluated each
acquisition  independently to determine the appropriate  amortization period for
the cost in excess of net asset value of purchased  facilities.  Each evaluation
included an analysis of historic and projected financial performance, evaluation
of the  estimated  useful lives of  buildings  and fixed  assets  acquired,  the
indefinite lives of certificates of need and licenses acquired,  the competition
within  local  markets,  lease  terms  where  applicable,  and the legal term of
partnerships  where  applicable.   Based  on  these  evaluations,   the  Company
determined  that the cost in excess of net asset value of  purchased  facilities
relating to the 1995 acquisitions  should be amortized over periods ranging from
25 to 40 years on a straight-line basis. No other identifiable intangible assets
were recorded in the acquisitions described above.

All of the 1995  acquisitions  described  above were  accounted for as purchases
and,  accordingly,  the results of  operations  of the acquired  businesses  are
included  in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  from  their
respective  dates of  acquisition.  With the exception of NovaCare,  none of the
above acquisitions were material individually or in the aggregate.

At various  dates  during  1994,  the Company  acquired  53 separate  outpatient
operations and a majority  equity  interest in five  outpatient  surgery centers
located  throughout  the United  States.  The combined  purchase  price of these
acquired outpatient operations was approximately  $80,456,000.  The Company also
acquired a  specialty  medical  center in Dallas,  Texas,  a contract  therapist
provider, a diagnostic imaging company,  four physical therapy practices and two
home health  agencies.  The  combined  purchase  price of these  operations  was
approximately  $32,044,000.  The form of  consideration  constituting  the total
purchase  prices  of  $112,500,000  was   approximately   $88,455,000  in  cash,
$14,122,000  in notes payable and  approximately  624,000 shares of common stock
valued at $9,923,000.

In connection  with these  transactions,  the Company  entered into  non-compete
agreements  with  former  owners  totaling   $10,814,000.   In  general,   these
non-compete  agreements  are payable in monthly or quarterly  installments  over
periods ranging from five to ten years.

10. Acquisitions (continued)

The  fair  value of the  total  net  assets  relating  to the 1994  acquisitions
described  above  was  approximately  $17,958
,000.   The  total  cost  for  1994
acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by approximately
$94,542,000.  Based on the evaluation of each acquisition utilizing the criteria
described  above,  the Company  determined  that the cost in excess of net asset
value of  purchased  facilities  relating  to the 1994  acquisitions  should  be
amortized over periods ranging from 25 to 40 years on a straight-line  basis. No
other identifiable assets were recorded in the acquisitions described above.

All of the 1994  acquisitions  described  above were  accounted for as purchases
and,  accordingly,  the results of  operations of the acquired  businesses  (not
material  individually  or in the  aggregate)  are included in the  accompanying
consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

Effective  December 31, 1993, the Company completed an acquisition from National
Medical Enterprises, Inc. (NME) of 28 inpatient rehabilitation facilities and 45
outpatient  rehabilitation centers, which constituted substantially all of NME's
rehabilitation services division (the NME Selected Hospitals  Acquisition).  The
purchase price was approximately  $296,661,000 cash, plus net working capital of
$64,503,000,  subject to certain  adjustments,  the assumption of  approximately
$16,313,000  of  current   liabilities  and  the  assumption  of   approximately
$17,111,000 in long-term debt.

As a result of the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition, HEALTHSOUTH recognized an
expense of  approximately  $49,742,000  during the year ended December 31, 1993.
This  expense  represents  management's  estimate  of the  cost  to  consolidate
operations  of  thirteen  existing   HEALTHSOUTH   facilities  (three  inpatient
facilities  and ten  outpatient  facilities)  into  the  operations  of  certain
facilities  acquired  from  NME.  This  plan  was  formulated  by  HEALTHSOUTH's
management  in order to more  efficiently  provide  services  in  markets  where
multiple  locations  now  exist  as a  result  of the  acquisition.  The plan of
consolidation calls for the affected operations to be merged into the operations
of the acquired facilities over a period of 12 to 24 months from the date of the
NME  Selected  Hospitals  Acquisition.  Due to the  single-use  nature  of these
properties,  the  consolidation  plan  does  not  provide  for the sale of these
facilities.

The  total  expense  of  $49,742,000  consists  of  several  components.  First,
approximately $39,000,000 relates to the writedown of the assets of the affected
HEALTHSOUTH  facilities  to  their  estimated  net  realizable  value.  Of  this
$39,000,000, approximately

$31,500,000  relates  to  the  assets  of the  three  inpatient  facilities  and
approximately $7,500,000 relates to the assets of the ten outpatient facilities.
The $39,000,000 is broken down into the following  asset  categories (net of any
related accumulated depreciation or amortization):

</TABLE>

During the year ended December 31, 1994, management  discontinued  operations in
two of the inpatient facilities and three of the outpatient  facilities affected
by the plan and merged  them into the  operations  of the  acquired  facilities.
Accordingly,  assets  with a net book value of  approximately  $17,911,000  were
written off in 1994  against the  reserves  established  at December  31,  1993.
Operations  at  the  remaining   inpatient  facility  and  the  remaining  seven
outpatient  facilities  identified in the plan were discontinued during 1995 and
charged against the remaining reserve.

Second,  $7,700,000 relates to the write-off of certain capitalized  development
projects.  These projects relate to the planned  facilities  that, if completed,
would be in direct  competition  with certain of the  acquired  NME  facilities.
These  development  projects  were  written  off in 1994  against  the  reserves
established at December 31, 1993.

Finally, approximately $3,000,000 was accrued for costs of employee separations,
relocations and other direct costs related to the planned  consolidation  of the
affected operations.  During the second quarter of 1994,  management revised its
estimate of the cost of the employee  separations and  relocations.  The revised
estimate calls for approximately 150 employees to be affected by separations and
approximately 400 to be affected by relocations.  Separation  benefits under the
revised  plan range  from one  month's  to one  year's  compensation  and totals
approximately  $2,188,000.  Relocation  benefits are  estimated to be $2,000 per
employee and total $800,000. An additional

10. Acquisitions (continued)

$350,000 has been provided for additional direct administrative costs associated
with the implementation of the plan, including outplacement services, travel and
legal  fees.   Accordingly,   the  total  revised  estimated  cost  of  employee
separations  and relocations is $3,338,000.  The difference  between the initial
estimate and the revised estimate was treated as a change in accounting estimate
and charged to operations in the second quarter of 1994.

The total costs relating to terminations and relocations incurred by the Company
and charged against the reserve were $758,000 and $2,580,000 for the years ended
December  31, 1994 and 1995,  respectively.  This cost is the only cash  expense
included in the acquisition related expense.

Also at various dates during 1993, the Company  acquired 27 separate  outpatient
rehabilitation   operations  and  three  physical  therapy   practices   located
throughout the United States.  The total  consideration  paid for these acquired
outpatient rehabilitation operations was approximately  $30,033,000,  consisting
of $24,485,000  in cash and  $5,548,000 in notes payable.  The fair value of the
net assets  acquired was  approximately  $8,813,000.  The total cost of the 1993
outpatient rehabilitation acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the net assets
acquired by approximately  $21,220,000.  The Company also acquired 15 outpatient
surgery center  operations during 1993. The total  consideration  paid for these
acquired  outpatient  surgery center operations was  approximately  $66,418,000,
consisting of $51,791,000 in cash, $5,639,000 in notes payable and approximately
812,000 shares of common stock valued at $8,988,000.  The total cost of the 1993
outpatient  surgery  acquisitions  exceeded  the fair  value  of the net  assets
acquired  by  approximately  $25,847,000.   Based  on  the  evaluation  of  each
acquisition, utilizing the criteria described above, the Company determined that
the cost in excess of net asset value of  purchased  facilities  relating to the
1993  acquisitions  should be amortized over a 40 year period on a straight line
basis. No other identifiable intangible assets were recorded in the acquisitions
described above.

Also during  1993,  the  Company  acquired  100% of the stock of  Rebound,  Inc.
("Rebound") for net consideration of approximately  $14,000,000 in cash. Rebound
operated 293 beds in thirteen  facilities.  The purchase price exceeded the fair
value  of the net  assets  acquired  by  approximately  $11,200,000,  which  was
allocated to excess of cost over net asset value of purchased facilities.

All of the 1993  acquisitions  described  above were  accounted for as purchases
and,  accordingly,  the results of  operations  of the acquired  businesses  are
included  in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  from  their
respective dates of acquisition.

11.  Income Taxes

HEALTHSOUTH and its subsidiaries file a consolidated  federal income tax return.
The  limited  partnerships  file  separate  income  tax  returns.  HEALTHSOUTH's
allocable  portion  of each  partnership's  income  or loss is  included  in the
taxable income of the Company.  The remaining income or loss of each partnership
is allocated to the limited partners.

The Company  utilizes the liability  method of accounting  for income taxes,  as
required by  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)  Statement  No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes".

At December  31,  1995,  the Company has net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of
approximately  $41,736,000  for income tax  purposes  expiring  through the year
2010. Those carryforwards resulted from the Company's acquisitions of Diagnostic
Health Corporation, ReLife, NovaCare and SHC (Notes 2 and 10).

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary  differences  between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  reporting purposes
and the amounts  used for income tax  purposes.  Significant  components  of the
Company's  deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  as of December 31, 1994 are as
follows:

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to legal proceedings  incidental to its business.  In the
opinion of management, any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will
not  materially  affect  the  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of
operations of the Company.

At December  31,  1995,  anticipated  capital  expenditures  for the next twelve
months are $180,000,000.  This amount includes  expenditures for maintenance and
expansion  of the  Company's  existing  facilities  as well as  development  and
integration of the Company's services in selected metropolitan markets.

Beginning  December 1, 1993, the Company became  self-insured  for  professional
liability and comprehensive  general  liability.  The Company purchased coverage
for all claims  incurred  prior to December 1, 1993.  In  addition,  the Company
purchased  underlying  insurance  which would cover all claims once  established
limits have been exceeded.  It is the opinion of management that at December 31,
1995  the  Company  has  adequate  reserves  to cover  losses  on  asserted  and
unasserted claims.

Prior to  consummation  of the SCA and  Advantage  Health  mergers (see Note 2),
these  companies   carried   professional   malpractice  and  general  liability
insurance.  The policies were carried on a claims made basis.  The companies had
policies in place to track and monitor incidents of significance.  Management is
unaware of any claims that may result in a loss in excess of amounts  covered by
existing insurance.

Operating leases generally  consist of short-term lease agreements for buildings
where facilities are located. These leases generally have 5-year terms, with one
or more renewal  options,  with terms to be  negotiated  at the time of renewal.
Total rental expense for all operating leases was  $35,812,000,  $75,355,000 and
$100,183,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under all operating
leases having initial or remaining  non-cancelable  lease terms in excess of one
year:

13.  Employee Benefit Plans

The  Company  has a 401(k)  savings  plan which  matches  15% of the first 4% of
earnings  that an employee  contributes.  All  contributions  are in the form of
cash.  All  employees  who have  completed one year of service with a minimum of
1,000  hours  worked  are  eligible  to   participate   in  the  plan.   Company
contributions   are  gradually   vested  over  a  seven-year   service   period.
Contributions to the plan by the Company were approximately $544,000, $1,168,000
and $1,287,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

In 1991, the Company  established an Employee Stock  Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for
the  purpose  of  providing  substantially  all  employees  of the  Company  the
opportunity to save for their  retirement and acquire a proprietary  interest in
the  Company.  The ESOP  currently  owns  approximately  830,000  shares  of the
Company's  common  stock,  which were  purchased  with funds  borrowed  from the
Company, $10,000,000 in 1991 (the "1991 ESOP Loan") and $10,000,000 in 1992 (the
"1992 ESOP Loan").  At December 31, 1995,  the combined ESOP Loans had a balance
of  $15,886,000.  The 1991 ESOP Loan,  which bears an  interest  rate of 10%, is
payable in annual  installments  covering interest and principal over a ten-year
period  beginning in 1992.  The 1992 ESOP Loan,  which bears an interest rate of
8.5%, is payable in annual  installments  covering interest and principal over a
ten-year period  beginning in 1993.  Company  contributions to the ESOP began in
1992  and  shall  at least  equal  the  amount  required  to make all ESOP  loan
amortization  payments for each plan year. The Company  recognizes  compensation
expense based on the shares allocated  method.  The total  compensation  expense
related to the ESOP  recognized by the Company was  $3,198,000,  $3,673,000  and
$3,524,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995,  respectively.  Interest incurred on the ESOP
Loans was

13. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

approximately  $1,743,000,  $1,608,000  and  $1,460,000 in 1993,  1994 and 1995,
respectively. Approximately 229,000 shares owned by the ESOP have been allocated
to participants at December 31, 1995.

During 1993,  the American  Institute of  Certified  Public  Accountants  issued
Statement of Position  ("SOP") 93-6,  "Employers  Accounting  for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans".  Among other  provisions,  SOP 93-6 requires that compensation
expense relating to employee stock ownership plans be measured based on the fair
market value of the shares when  allocated to the  employees.  The provisions of
SOP 93-6 apply only to leveraged ESOPs formed after December 31, 1992, or shares
newly acquired by an existing  leveraged  ESOP after December 31, 1992.  Because
all shares owned by the Company's ESOP were acquired prior to December 31, 1992,
the Company's accounting policies for the shares currently owned by the ESOP are
not affected by SOP 93-6.

14.  Sale of Assets

During the second quarter of 1994, the Company  consummated the sale of selected
properties  to  Capstone  Capital  Corporation   ("Capstone"),   a  real  estate
investment trust. These properties  include six ancillary  hospital  facilities,
three outpatient rehabilitation  facilities, two outpatient surgery centers, one
uncompleted medical office building and one research facility.  The net proceeds
to the Company as a result of this transaction were  approximately  $58,425,000.
The net book value of the properties was approximately $50,735,000.  Because the
Company is leasing  back  substantially  all of the  properties  from  Capstone,
payments which  aggregate $6.9 million  annually,  the resulting gain on sale of
approximately  $7,690,000  has been  recorded on the  accompanying  consolidated
balance  sheet as deferred  revenue and will be  amortized  into income over the
initial lease terms of the properties. The Company is accounting for each of the
new leases as an operating  lease with an initial lease term of 5 years.  During
1995, the Company sold another  inpatient  rehabilitation  hospital  property to
Capstone under terms similar to those described  above.  Aggregate  annual lease
payments  for  this  property  totaled  $1.7  million.  The  resulting  loss  of
approximately  $4,010,000  has been netted  against the deferred gain  described
above and will be amortized to expense over the initial lease term.  The Company
and certain Company officers own  approximately  4.5% of the outstanding  common
stock of Capstone at December 31, 1995.

15. Loss on Disposal of Surgery Centers

During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company  adopted a formal plan to dispose
of three  surgery  centers and certain  other  properties  during  fiscal  1995.
Accordingly,  a charge of  $13,197,000  was made to reflect the expected  losses
resulting from the disposal of these centers.  The charge is comprised primarily
of losses on the sale of owned facilities and equipment, write-off of intangible
and  other  assets,  and  accrual  of future  operating  lease  obligations  and
estimated operating losses through the anticipated date of disposal.

The  following  are  the  major  components  of  the  restructuring  charge  (in
thousands):

</TABLE>

The closings of the three surgery  centers were  completed by December 31, 1995.
An accrual of $5,629,000 and $929,000 is included in accrued  liabilities on the
accompanying   December  31,  1994  and  1995   consolidated   balance   sheets,
respectively, for the remaining costs to be incurred relative to the disposal of
these surgery  centers and the other  properties.  The reduction in this accrual
relates  primarily to costs  incurred  during 1995 as a result of closing  these
centers.

16. Spin-Off of HMO Subsidiary

Effective  December 1, 1993, SCA (see Note 2) spun off the net assets of its HMO
subsidiary,   HealthWise  of  America,  Inc.  (HealthWise).   The  spin-off  was
accomplished by a tax-free distribution of one HealthWise common share for every
ten shares of SCA's common stock.  The  distribution is reflected as a charge to
retained  earnings of the  Company for the year ended  December  31,  1993.  The
operating results of HealthWise have been classified as discontinued  operations
on the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of income and are  summarized as
follows (in thousands).

17.  Impairment of Long-Term Assets

During  1994,  certain  events  occurred  which  impaired  the value of specific
long-term  assets of ReLife (see Note 2). A hospital in Missouri with a distinct
part unit  which  ReLife was  managing  was  purchased  in 1994 by an acute care
provider  which  terminated  the  contract  with ReLife.  Remaining  goodwill of
$1,700,000  and costs  allocated to the management  contract of $1,300,000  were
written off as there is no value remaining for the terminated contract.

A ReLife  facility in central Florida  incurred  tornado damage and has not been
operating  since September 1993.  During 1994,  management of ReLife  determined
that it is  probable  that this  facility  will not  reopen.  Start-up  costs of
$1,600,000 were written off. This facility is leased under an operating lease as
described  in Note 12 through  the year 2001.  An  impairment  accrual  has been
established  based on the projected  undiscounted net cash flows related to this
non-operating  facility for the remainder of the lease term. The accrual totaled
$5,900,000  and consists of $4,700,000 in lease payments and $1,200,000 in fixed
costs and operating expenses,  including property taxes,  maintenance,  security
and other related costs.

During  1994,  ReLife  entered  into a contract  for a new  information  system.
Payments under the contract and related costs were capitalized  during the year.
After the agreement to merge with HEALTHSOUTH was entered into (see Note 2), the
computer  project was abandoned  resulting in a write-off of capitalized cost of
$4,500,000.

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company recognized an $11,192,000 loss on
impairment  of assets which  relates to six SHC (see Note 2) facilities in which
the  undiscounted  cash flows did not support  the book value of the  long-lived
assets  of such  facilities.  The  assets  were  written  down to fair  value as
determined from an independent appraisal of such properties.

17.  Impairment of Long-Term Assets (continued)

In the fourth quarter of 1995 the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of
approximately  $42,357,000 relating to goodwill and tangible assets identifiable
with eight surgery centers.  Approximately $36,792,000 of this charge related to
surgery  centers which the Company  intends to operate on an ongoing basis while
the remaining loss of $5,565,000 is identifiable with four surgery centers which
the Company decided during the fourth quarter of 1995 to close.

The Company  has  historically  assessed  recoverability  of goodwill  and other
long-lived  assets using  undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be received over
the useful lives of the related assets.  In the fourth quarter of 1995,  certain
events occurred which  significantly  impacted the Company's estimates of future
cash flows to be received  from four of the  Company's  surgery  centers.  Those
events  primarily  related to a decline in  operating  results  combined  with a
deterioration  in  relationships   with  key  physicians  at  certain  of  those
locations.  As a result of these  events,  the Company  revised its estimates of
undiscounted cash flows to be received over the remaining estimated useful lives
of these  centers and  determined  that  goodwill  and other  long-lived  assets
(primarily property and equipment) had been impaired.  The Company developed its
best  estimates of future  operating cash flows at these  locations  considering
future requirements for capital expenditures as well as the impact of inflation.
The  projections  of cash flows also took into account  estimates of significant
one-time  expenses as well as estimates  of  additional  revenues and  resulting
income from future marketing efforts in the respective locations.  The amount of
the impairment charge was determined by discounting the estimates of future cash
flows,  using an estimated  8.5%  incremental  borrowing  rate which  management
believes is  commensurate  with the risks  involved.  The  resulting net present
value of future cash flows was then compared to the historical net book value of
goodwill and other long-lived  assets at each operating  location which resulted
in an impairment loss relative to these centers of $36,792,000.

The  remaining  impairment  charge of  $5,565,000  relative to the centers to be
closed was based on the fair value of the related assets less estimated costs to
sell.  Assets held for sale having a remaining net book value of $2,838,726  are
included in property and equipment on the accompanying December 31, 1995 balance
sheet.  The Company  intends to close  those  centers and dispose of the related
assets during the next fiscal year.

The above amounts are included in operations  in the  accompanying  consolidated
statement of income.

18.  Subsequent Events

Effective  January 17, 1996, the Company  merged with Surgical Care  Affiliates,
Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests (see Note 2).

Effective March 14, 1996, the Company merged with Advantage  Health  Corporation
in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests (see Note 2).

On January 17, 1996,  the Company voted to increase the number of its authorized
common shares to 250,000,000.  At no time during 1995 did the shares outstanding
exceed those authorized.

On April 18,  1996,  the credit  facility  (Note 7) was amended and  restated to
increase the maximum amount available  thereunder to $1,250,000 and to eliminate
the security interests thereunder.
