             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

         Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995


NOTE  1  --        The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements include
                   the accounts of HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation  (the "Company") and
                   its  subsidiaries.   This  information   should  be  read  in
                   conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
                   the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995,  as amended.  It is
                   management's  opinion  that  the  accompanying   consolidated
                   financial  statements  reflect  all  adjustments  (which  are
                   normal recurring adjustments,  except as otherwise indicated)
                   necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  results  for the
                   interim period and the comparable period presented.
                    
NOTE  2  --        During  1995,  the  Company  entered  into  a  $1,000,000,000
                   revolving   line   of   credit   with    NationsBank,    N.A.
                   ("NationsBank")  and other  participating  banks  (the  "1995
                   Credit  Agreement").  On April 18, 1996, the Company  amended
                   and restated  the 1995 Credit  Agreement to increase the size
                   of the credit  facility to  $1,250,000,000  (the "1996 Credit
                   Agreement").  The Company  provided a negative  pledge on all
                   assets and the lenders  released the first priority  security
                   interest in all shares of stock of the Company's subsidiaries
                   and  rights  and  interests  in  the   Company's   controlled
                   partnerships  which had been  granted  under the 1995  Credit
                   Agreement.  At  September  30,  1996,  the  Company had drawn
                   $977,000,000 under the 1996 Credit Agreement.

                   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, are  subordinated  to all existing and future senior
                   indebtedness  of the  Company.  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
                   principal  amount of  Convertible  Debentures  was  issued in
                   April 1994 to cover underwriters' overallotments. 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 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.

NOTE  3  --        On January 17, 1996, the Company  consummated the acquisition
                   of Surgical Care  Affiliates,  Inc.  ("SCA") in a transaction
                   accounted for as a pooling of interests.  In the transaction,
                   SCA stockholders  received an aggregate of 45,928,339  shares
                   of the Company's common stock. At the time of the merger, SCA
                   operated 67 surgery centers in 24 states.
                    
                   On March 14, 1996, the Company consummated the acquisition of
                   Advantage  Health  Corporation   ("Advantage  Health")  in  a
                   transaction  accounted for as a pooling of interests.  In the
                   transaction, Advantage Health stockholders and option holders
                   received an aggregate of  9,101,989  shares of the  Company's
                   common  stock.  At the time of the merger,  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.
                    
                   Accordingly,  the Company's  historical  financial statements
                   for all periods prior to the  effective  dates of the mergers
                   have  been  restated  to  include  the  results  of  SCA  and
                   Advantage  Health.  The effects of conforming  the accounting
                   policies of the Company,  SCA and  Advantage  Health were not
                   material.
                    
                   Prior to the mergers, SCA reported on a fiscal year ending on
                   December 31 and  Advantage  Health  reported on a fiscal year
                   ending on August 31.  Accordingly,  the historical  financial
                   statements of Advantage Health have been recast to a November
                   30 fiscal year end to more closely  conform to the  Company's
                   calendar fiscal year end. The restated  financial  statements
                   for all periods prior to and including  December 31, 1995 are
                   based on a combination of the Company's and SCA's results for
                   their December 31 fiscal years and Advantage Health's results
                   for its recast November 30 fiscal year.  Beginning January 1,
                   1996, all facilities  acquired in the Advantage Health merger
                   adopted a  December  31 fiscal  year  end;  accordingly,  all
                   consolidated  financial statements for periods after December
                   31, 1995 are based on a consolidation of all of the Company's
                   subsidiaries  on a December 31 year end.  Advantage  Health's
                   historical  results  of  operations  for the one month  ended
                   December  31,  1995  are  not   included  in  the   Company's

                   Company  in  connection  with  the SCA and  Advantage  Health
                   mergers have been recorded in  operations  during the quarter
                   ending  March 31, 1996 and  reported  as Merger  Costs in the
                   accompanying consolidated statements of income.
                    
NOTE  4  --        On August 20, 1996, the Company  consummated  the acquisition
                   of Professional  Sports Care Management,  Inc.  ("PSCM") in a
                   transaction  accounted for as a pooling of interests.  In the
                   transaction,  PSCM  stockholders  received  an  aggregate  of
                   1,811,444  shares of the Company's  common stock. At the time
                   of the  merger,  PSCM  operated  a network  of 36  outpatient
                   rehabilitation centers in three states.

                   Costs and expenses of $5,513,000, primarily accounting, legal
                   and financial advisory  services,  incurred by the Company in
                   connection  with  the  PSCM  merger  have  been  recorded  in
                   operations  during the quarter ending  September 30, 1996 and
                   reported  as merger  costs in the  accompanying  consolidated
                   statements of income.

                   Due to the  immateriality  of the PSCM merger,  the Company's
                   historical financial statements for all periods prior to July
                   1, 1996 have not been  restated  to  include  the  results of
                   PSCM.  Instead,  stockholders'  equity has been  increased by
                   approximately  $43,230,000  as of July 1, 1996 to reflect the
                   effects of the PSCM merger.

                   PSCM's results of operations are included in the accompanying
                   financial  statements  from  July 1, 1996  forward.  Separate
                   results  of PSCM  for  periods  prior  to the  merger  are as
                   follows (in thousands):

NOTE  5  --        During the first nine months of 1996, the Company acquired 58
                   outpatient  facilities,  four outpatient surgery centers, one
                   inpatient  rehabilitation hospital and one diagnostic imaging
                   center.  The total purchase price of the acquired  facilities
                   was approximately $87,142,000.  The Company also entered into
                   non-compete agreements totaling  approximately  $8,258,000 in
                   connection with these transactions. The cost in excess of the
                   acquired   facilities'  net  asset  value  was  approximately
                   $53,185,000.   The  results  of   operations   (not  material
                   individually or in the aggregate) of these  acquisitions  are
                   included in the consolidated  financial statements from their
                   respective acquisition dates.

NOTE  6  --        During the first nine  months of 1996,  the  Company  granted
                   incentive   and   nonqualified   stock   options  to  certain
                   Directors,  employees  and  others  for  2,179,000  shares of
                   Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $32.50 to $37.75
                   per share.

NOTE  7  --        On  September  11, 1996,  the Company  signed an agreement to
                   acquire ReadiCare,  Inc. ("ReadiCare") in a transaction to be
                   accounted for as a pooling of interests.  ReadiCare  operates
                   37  occupational  healthcare  sites in two states.  Under the
                   terms  of the  agreement,  all  shares  of  common  stock  of
                   ReadiCare  will be  exchanged  for  shares  of the  Company's
                   Common Stock pursuant to an exchange ratio that will yield an
                   aggregate  value of  approximately  $80,000,000  to ReadiCare
                   stockholders.  The  transaction is subject to approval by the
                   stockholders of ReadiCare.  The transaction is expected to be
                   completed during the fourth quarter of 1996.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

           The  Company  provides   outpatient  and  rehabilitative   healthcare
services through its inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, surgery
centers and medical centers. The Company has expanded its operations through the
acquisition  or  opening  of  new  facilities  and  satellite  locations  and by
enhancing its existing  operations.  As of September  30, 1996,  the Company had
1,030  locations  in 48 states  and the  District  of  Columbia,  including  690
outpatient  rehabilitation  locations, 96 inpatient  rehabilitation  facilities,
five medical  centers,  134 surgery  centers and 105 locations  providing  other
patient care services.

           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  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 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 a regulator,  a 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,  the
Company's carrying value of the asset will be reduced by the estimated shortfall
of cash flows.

           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.

           Effective  January 17, 1996, the Company  consummated the acquisition
of Surgical Care  Affiliates,  Inc.  ("SCA") through a merger accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been
restated to include the results of SCA for all periods  presented (see Note 3 of
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion).  Effective
March 14, 1996, the Company  consummated  the  acquisition  of Advantage  Health
Corporation  ("Advantage  Health"),  also  through a merger  accounted  for as a
pooling of interests.  The results of operations described below for the quarter
ended  September  30,  1995 are  based on a  combination  of both the  Company's
results for its 

<PAGE>


quarter ended September 30, 1995 and Advantage  Health's results for its quarter
ended  August  31,  1995  (see  Note  3  of  "Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements"  for further  discussion).  All data set forth for periods  prior to
December 31, 1995 relating to revenues derived from Medicare and Medicaid do not
take  into  account  revenues  of the  Advantage  Health  facilities  or the SCA
facilities.

           Effective August 20, 1996, the Company consummated the acquisition of
Professional  Sports Care Management,  Inc.  ("PSCM") through a merger accounted
for as a pooling of interests. In the transaction, PSCM stockholders received an
aggregate of 1,811,444  shares of the Company's common stock. At the time of the
merger, PSCM operated a network of 36 outpatient rehabilitation centers in three
states.  Due to the immateriality of the PSCM merger,  the Company's  historical
financial  statements  for all  periods  prior  to July 1,  1996  have  not been
restated to include the results of PSCM. Instead, an adjustment has been made to
stockholders'  equity  as of July 1, 1996 to  include  the  effects  of the PSCM
merger. PSCM's results of operations are included in the accompanying  financial
statements and the following discussion from July 1, 1996 forward (see Note 4 of
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

           The Company  operated 690 outpatient  locations  (which includes base
facilities  and  satellites)  at September 30, 1996,  compared to 404 outpatient
locations at September 30, 1995. In addition,  the Company operated 96 inpatient
rehabilitation  facilities,  five  medical  centers and 134  surgery  centers at
September 30, 1996, compared with 94 inpatient facilities,  five medical centers
and 121 surgery centers at September 30, 1995.

           The Company's  operations  generated revenues of $616,943,000 for the
quarter  ended  September  30, 1996, an increase of  $98,406,000,  or 19.0%,  as
compared to the same  period in 1995.  The  increase  in  revenues is  primarily
attributable to increases in patient volume, the December 1, 1995 acquisition of
Caremark Orthopedic Services Inc. and the addition of new outpatient and surgery
centers.  Same store  revenues  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996 were
$573,159,000,  an increase  of  $54,622,000,  or 10.5%,  as compared to the same
period in 1995. New store  revenues were  $43,784,000.  Revenues  generated from
patients under Medicare and Medicaid plans respectively  accounted for 37.2% and
3.0% of revenue  for the third  quarter of 1996,  compared to 39.4% and 3.3% for
the same period in 1995.  Revenues from any other single  third-party payor were
not significant in relation to the Company's revenues.  During the third quarter
of 1996,  same  store  outpatient  visits,  inpatient  days and  surgical  cases
increased  15.5%,  9.2% and 5.8%,  respectively.  Revenue per outpatient  visit,
revenue  per  inpatient  day and  revenue  per  surgical  case  for  same  store
operations increased by 2.8%, 2.9% and 4.5%, respectively.

           Operating  expenses,  at the operating unit level, were $397,749,000,
or 64.5% of revenues,  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to
68.7% of revenues for the third quarter of 1995. Same store  operating  expenses
were $369,643,000,  or 64.5% of comparable revenue. New store operating expenses
were  $28,106,000,  or  64.2%  of  comparable  revenue.  Corporate  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased from $12,607,000  during the 1995 quarter to
$16,805,000  during the 1996  quarter.  As a  percentage  of revenue,  corporate
general and  administrative  expenses increased from 2.4% in the 1995 quarter to
2.7% in the 1996 quarter.  The provision for doubtful  accounts was $13,996,000,
or 2.3% of revenues,  for the third quarter of 1996, compared to $8,716,000,  or
1.7% of revenues,  for the same period in 1995.  Management  believes  that this
provision is adequate to cover any uncollectible revenues.

           Depreciation and amortization expense was $49,326,000 for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to $36,986,000 for the same period in 1995.
The increase  represents  the  investment in  additional  assets by the Company.
Interest  expense was  $22,625,000  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996,
compared to $26,451,000  for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. For the third
quarter of 1996,  interest  income was $975,000,  compared to $2,244,000 for the
third quarter of 1995.
<PAGE>

           Income  before  minority  interests  and  income  taxes for the third
quarter of 1996 was $111,904,000, compared to $79,661,000 for the same period in
1995.  Income  before  minority  interests and income taxes for the 1996 quarter
includes  merger costs  relating to the PSCM  acquisition  totaling  $5,513,000.
Minority  interests  decreased income before income taxes by $13,286,000 for the
quarter ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to decreasing  income before income
taxes by  $12,076,000  for the third  quarter of 1995.  The provision for income
taxes for the third quarter of 1996 was $37,574,000, compared to $25,938,000 for
the same period in 1995,  resulting in  effective  tax rates of 38.1% and 38.4%,
respectively. Net income for the third quarter of 1996 was $61,044,000, compared
to $41,647,000 for the third quarter of 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

           Revenues  for  the  nine  months  ended   September   30,  1996  were
$1,793,766,000,  an increase  of  $323,717,000,  or 22.0%,  over the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. Same store revenues were  $1,677,211,000,  an increase
of  $207,162,000,  or 14.1%,  as compared to the same period in 1995.  New store
revenues were $116,555,000.  The increase in revenues is primarily  attributable
to the acquisition of the NovaCare  rehabilitation  hospitals  division in April
1995,  the December 1, 1995  acquisition of Caremark  Orthopedic  Services Inc.,
increases  in patient  volume and the  addition  of new  outpatient  and surgery
centers.  Revenues  generated  from patients  under  Medicare and Medicaid plans
respectively  accounted  for 37.8% and 2.9% of revenue for the first nine months
of 1996,  compared to 40.7% and 2.7% for the same period in 1995.  Revenues from
any other  single  third-party  payor were not  significant  in  relation to the
Company's revenues.  During the first nine months of 1996, same store outpatient
visits,  inpatient  days and surgical  cases  increased  16.3%,  11.8% and 5.1%,
respectively.  Revenue  per  outpatient  visit,  revenue per  inpatient  day and
revenue per surgical case for same store operations  increased by 1.7%, 0.4% and
2.5%, respectively.

           Operating expenses, at the operating unit level, were $1,173,148,000,
or 65.4% of revenues,  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared
to $1,014,302,000, or 69.0% of revenues, for the first nine months of 1995. Same
store operating expenses were  $1,096,061,000,  or 65.4% of comparable  revenue.
New store operating expenses were $77,087,000,  or 66.1% of comparable  revenue.
As a result of the SCA and Advantage Health acquisitions, the Company recognized
merger  costs of  $28,939,000  during  the first  quarter of 1996 (see Note 3 of
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion). Net income
for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996 was  $158,450,000,  compared to
$86,495,000 for the same period in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           As of  September  30,  1996,  the  Company  had  working  capital  of
$469,609,000,  including cash and marketable securities of $124,852,000. Working

operations was  $253,649,000,  compared to  $195,354,000  for the same period in
1995. Additions to property, plant, and equipment and acquisitions accounted for
$115,016,000  and  $87,142,000,  respectively,  during the first nine  months of
1996.   Those  same  investing   activities   accounted  for   $114,562,000  and
$334,603,000,  respectively,  in the same period in 1995.  Financing  activities
provided  $57,092,000 and $310,157,000  during the first nine months of 1996 and
1995, respectively. Net borrowing proceeds (borrowing less principal reductions)
for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 were  $67,110,000  and  $346,556,000,
respectively.

           Accounts receivable were $504,666,000 at September 30, 1996, compared
to $409,150,000 at December 31, 1995. The number of days of average  revenues in
average receivables was 67.6 at September 30, 1996, compared to 63.8 at December
31,  1995.  The   concentration  of  net  accounts   receivable  from  patients,
third-party  payors,  insurance  companies  and others at September  30, 1996 is
consistent with the related concentration of revenues for the period then ended.

           At September  30, 1996,  the Company had a  $1,250,000,000  revolving
line of credit with NationsBank, N.A. and other participating banks. Interest is
paid based on LIBOR plus a predetermined  margin,  prime, or  competitively  bid
rates  from the  participating  banks  (see  Note 2 of  "Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements").  The effective interest rate on the average outstanding
balance under the  revolving  line of credit was 6.02% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996,  compared to the average prime rate of 8.28% during the same
period.  At September  30, 1996,  the Company had drawn  $977,000,000  under its
revolving line of credit.

           The  Company  intends to pursue the  acquisition  or  development  of
additional   healthcare   operations,    including   comprehensive    outpatient
rehabilitation facilities,  ambulatory surgery centers, inpatient rehabilitation
facilities  and companies  engaged in the  provision of  outpatient  surgery and
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,  pursuant to which
the Company  plans to utilize its services in  particular  markets to provide an
integrated continuum of coordinated care.

            On September 11, 1996, the Company entered into a Plan and Agreement
of Merger with ReadiCare, Inc. ("ReadiCare"),  pursuant to which the Company has
agreed to acquire ReadiCare in a stock-for-stock merger to be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  ReadiCare  operates 37 occupational  healthcare  sites in
California and Washington.  Under the terms of the Plan and Agreement of Merger,
the  Company  will issue  shares of its  common  stock  valued at  approximately
$80,000,000 in the aggregate to the stockholders of ReadiCare.  The transaction,
which is subject to approval by the stockholders of ReadiCare, is expected to be
consummated in the fourth  quarter of 1996.  Although the Company is continually
considering and evaluating acquisitions and opportunities for future growth, the
Company  has not  entered  into any other  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 thereafter.

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

           Statements  contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are
not historical facts are forward-looking  statements.  In addition, the Company,
through its senior management,  from time to time makes  forward-looking  public
statements  concerning its expected future  operations and performance and other
developments.   Such  forward-looking   statements  are  necessarily   estimates
reflecting  the  Company's  best  judgment  based upon current  information  and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties,  and there can be no assurance that
other factors will not affect the accuracy of such  forward-looking  statements.
While it is impossible  to identify all such factors,  factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include,
but are not limited to, changes in the regulation of the healthcare  industry at
either or both of the federal and state levels, changes in reimbursement for the
Company's services by governmental or private payors,  competitive  pressures in
the  healthcare  industry and the  Company's  response  thereto,  the  Company's
ability to obtain and retain favorable  arrangements  with  third-party  payors,
unanticipated  delays in the Company's  implementation of its Integrated Service
Model,  general conditions in the economy and capital markets, and other factors
which  may be  identified  from  time to time in the  Company's  Securities  and
Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements.
