                    HEALTHSOUTH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998


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, 1998.  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  --       The Company has  a  $1,750,000,000  revolving  credit facility
                  with NationsBank, N.A. ("NationsBank") and other participating
                  banks (the "1998 Credit Agreement"). The 1998 Credit Agreement
                  replaced a previous $1,250,000,000 revolving credit agreement,
                  also with  NationsBank.  In  conjunction  with the 1998 Credit
                  Agreement,  the Company also canceled its $350,000,000 364-day
                  interim revolving credit facility with  NationsBank.  Interest
                  on the 1998  Credit  Agreement  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  based  on the  unused  portion  of the  revolving  credit
                  facility  ranging  from 0.09% to 0.25%,  depending  on certain
                  defined  ratios.  The  principal  amount is payable in full on
                  June 22, 2003.  The Company has provided a negative  pledge on
                  all assets under the 1998 Credit Agreement.  At June 30, 1999,
                  the effective  interest rate  associated  with the 1998 Credit
                  Agreement was approximately 5.5%.

                  The  Company  also  has a Short  Term  Credit  Agreement  with
                  NationsBank (as amended,  the "Short Term Credit  Agreement"),
                  providing  for a  $500,000,000  short  term  revolving  credit
                  facility.  The terms of the Short Term  Credit  Agreement  are
                  substantially   consistent  with  those  of  the  1998  Credit
                  Agreement. Interest on the Short Term Credit Agreement is paid
                  based on LIBOR plus a predetermined margin or a base rate. The
                  Company is required to pay a fee on the unused  portion of the
                  credit  facility  ranging  from 0.09% to 0.25%,  depending  on
                  certain  defined  ratios.  The principal  amount is payable in
                  full on February 15, 2000, with an earlier repayment  required
                  in the event that the Company  consummates any public offering
                  or private placement of debt securities. At June 30, 1999, the
                  Company  had not drawn down any  amounts  under the Short Term
                  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,   and  also  are  effectively
                  subordinated  to all  existing and future  liabilities  of the
                  Company's  subsidiaries and partnerships.  The Notes mature on
                  April 1, 2001.

                  On March 20, 1998,  the Company issued  $500,000,000  in 3.25%
                  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due  2003  (the  "3.25%
                  Convertible Debentures") in a private placement. An additional
                  $67,750,000   principal   amount  of  the  3.25%   Convertible
                  Debentures was issued on March 31, 1998 to cover underwriters'
                  overallotments.  Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1.
                  The 3.25%  Convertible  Debentures are convertible into Common
                  Stock  of  the  Company  at the  option  of  the  holder  at a
                  conversion  price of $36.625 per share,  subject to adjustment
                  upon the occurrence of certain  events.  The net proceeds from
                  the issuance of the 3.25% Convertible  Debentures were used by
                  the  Company to pay down  indebtedness  outstanding  under its
                  then-existing credit facilities.

                  On June 22, 1998,  the Company issued  $250,000,000  in 6.875%
                  Senior  Notes due 2005 and  $250,000,000  in 7.0% Senior Notes
                  due 2008  (collectively,  the  "Senior  Notes").  Interest  is
                  payable  on June 15 and  December  15.  The  Senior  Notes are
                  unsecured,  unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The net
                  proceeds  from the  issuance of the Senior  Notes were used by
                  the  Company to pay down  indebtedness  outstanding  under its
                  existing credit facilities.

                  At June 30,  1999,  and  December  31,  1998,  long-term  debt

NOTE 3 --         During  the  first  six  months  of 1999, the Company acquired
                  four outpatient rehabilitation facilities and seven outpatient
                  surgery  centers.  The total  purchase  price of the  acquired
                  facilities  was  approximately  $24,622,000.  The Company also
                  entered into  non-compete  agreements  totaling  approximately
                  $2,498,000 in connection with these transactions.

                  On June 29, 1999, the Company acquired from Mariner Post-Acute
                  Network, Inc. ("MPN") substantially all of the assets of MPN's
                  American   Rehability   Services   division,   which  operated
                  approximately  160  outpatient  rehabilitation  centers  in 18
                  states.   The  net  cash  purchase  price  was   approximately
                  $54,521,000.

                  The cost in excess of the acquired facilities' net asset value
                  was approximately $58,991,000.  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 4  --        During 1998, the Company recorded impairment and restructuring
                  charges  related to the  Company's  decision  to dispose of or
                  otherwise  discontinue  substantially  all of its home  health
                  operations  and to close  certain  facilities  that do not fit
                  with   the   Company's   strategic   vision,   underperforming
                  facilities and facilities not located in target  markets.  The
                  home  health  operations  covered  by the plan were  closed by
                  December 31, 1998.  As of July 31, 1999  approximately  90% of
                  the other locations  identified in the restructuring  plan had
                  been closed.

                  Details of the  impairment  and  restructuring  charge through
                  the second quarter of 1999 are as follows:

NOTE 5 --         The  Company  has  adopted  the   provisions  of  Statement of
                  Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures
                  about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS
                  131 requires the  utilization  of a  "management  approach" to
                  define and report the financial results of operating segments.
                  The management  approach defines operating  segments along the
                  lines  used by  management  to  assess  performance  and  make
                  operating and resource allocation  decisions.  The Company has
                  aggregated   the   financial   results   of   its   outpatient
                  rehabilitation  facilities,  outpatient  surgery  centers  and
                  outpatient  diagnostic  centers into the  outpatient  services
                  segment.  These three types of facilities have common economic
                  characteristics,  provide  similar  services,  serve a similar
                  class of customers,  cross-utilize administrative services and
                  operate in similar regulatory  environment.  In addition,  the
                  Company's  integrated  service model  strategy  combines these
                  services in a seamless environment for the delivery of patient
                  care on an episodic basis.

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,
diagnostic 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 June 30,  1999,  the Company had
nearly 2,000 locations in 50 states, the United Kingdom and Australia (excluding
facilities being closed, consolidated or held for sale), including approximately
1,360  outpatient   rehabilitation   locations,   128  inpatient  rehabilitation
facilities,  four medical centers,  223 surgery centers,  122 diagnostic centers
and 124 occupational health centers.

         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. In connection with recent  developments,  including changes
in the  reimbursement  environment  in the healthcare  industry,  the closing or
consolidation  of certain of its locations,  and the  integration of some of its
purchased facilities in connection with implementation of its Integrated Service
Model  strategy,  the  Company  is  undertaking  a  comprehensive  review of its
amortization policies with respect to the excess of cost over net asset value of
purchased facilities. This review may result in future changes in certain of the
Company's accounting estimates following completion of such review. 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,  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 to the estimated fair market value.

         In 1998,  the Company  adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of an
Enterprise and Related  Information".  SFAS 131 requires an enterprise to report
operating segments based upon the way its operations are managed.  This approach
defines  operating  segments  along  the  lines  used by  management  to  assess
performance and make operating and resource allocation  decisions.  Based on the
Company's  management  and reporting  structure,  segment  information  has been
presented for inpatient and other clinical services and outpatient services.

         The  inpatient  and  other  clinical  services  segments  includes  the
operations of its inpatient  rehabilitation  facilities and medical centers,  as
well as the  operations  of  certain  physician  practices  and  other  clinical
services which are managerially  aligned with the Company's  inpatient services.
The

<PAGE>

Company has  aggregated the financial  results of its outpatient  rehabilitation
facilities (including  occupational health centers),  outpatient surgery centers
and outpatient  diagnostic centers into the outpatient  services segment.  These
three types of facilities have common economic characteristics,  provide similar
services,  serve a  similar  class of  customers,  cross-utilize  administrative
services  and operate in a similar  regulatory  environment.  In  addition,  the
Company's  Integrated  Service  Model  strategy  combines  these  services  in a
seamless environment for the delivery of patient care on an episodic basis.

         Substantially  all of the  Company's  revenues are derived from private
and  governmental   third-party   payors.   The  Company's   reimbursement  from
governmental   third-party   payors  is  based  upon  cost   reports  and  other
reimbursement  mechanisms  which require the application and  interpretation  of
complex  regulations and policies,  and such reimbursement is subject to various
levels of review and adjustment by fiscal  intermediaries and others,  which may
affect  the  final  determination  of  reimbursement.  In  addition,  there  are
increasing  pressures from many payor sources to control healthcare costs and to
reduce or limit increases in reimbursement rates for medical services. There can
be no assurance that payments under  governmental and third-party payor programs
will remain at levels  comparable  to present  levels.  In addition,  there have
been,  and the  Company  expects  that  there will  continue  to be, a number of
proposals to limit  Medicare  reimbursement  for certain  services.  The Company
cannot now predict whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted
and implemented,  what effect such proposals would have on the Company.  Changes
in reimbursement  policies or rates by private or governmental payors could have
an adverse effect on the future results of operations of the Company.

         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.  The
Company  may,  from time to time,  close or  consolidate  similar  locations  in
multi-site markets to obtain efficiencies and respond to changes in demand.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

         The Company's  operations  generated revenues of $1,047,632,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $68,568,000, or 7.0%, as compared to
the same period in 1998. The increase in revenues is primarily  attributable  to
increases  in patient  volume and the  addition  of new  outpatient,  inpatient,
diagnostic and surgery  centers.  Same store revenues for the quarter ended June
30, 1999,  excluding  discontinued home health operations in both periods,  were
$980,807,000,  an  increase  of  $25,803,000,  or 2.6%,  as compared to the same
period in 1998. New store  revenues were  $65,816,000.  Revenues  generated from
patients under Medicare and Medicaid plans respectively  accounted for 34.1% and
2.5% of revenue for the second  quarter of 1999,  compared to 36.1% and 2.6% for
the same period in 1998.  Revenues from any other single  third-party payor were
not significant in relation to the Company's revenues. During the second quarter
of 1999,  same store  outpatient  visits,  inpatient  days,  surgical  cases and
diagnostic cases increased 10.8%,  8.4%, 9.3% and 11.2%,  respectively.  Revenue
per outpatient visit,  inpatient day, surgical case and diagnostic case for same
store   operations decreased  by  2.3%,  3.9%,  2.4%  and  2.3%, respectively.

         Operating expenses, at the operating unit level, were $649,413,000,  or
62.0% of revenues,  for the quarter  ended June 30,  1999,  compared to 61.2% of
revenues  for the  second  quarter  of  1998.  Same  store  operating  expenses,
excluding  discontinued home health operations,  were $606,192,000,  or 61.8% of
comparable revenue.  New store operating expenses were $41,092,000,  or 62.4% of
comparable revenue. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased from
$27,699,000 during the 1998 quarter to $31,300,000 during the 1999 quarter. As a
percentage of revenue,  corporate general and administrative  expenses increased
from 2.8% in the 1998 quarter to 3.0% in the 1999  quarter.  The  provision  for
doubtful accounts was $19,262,000,  or 1.8% of revenues,  for the second quarter
of 1999,  compared to $23,809,000,  or 2.4% of revenues,  for the same period in
1998.  Management  believes  that  this  provision  is  adequate  to  cover  any
uncollectible revenues.

         Depreciation and  amortization  expense was $95,881,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999,  compared to  $82,576,000  for the same period in 1998. The
increase represents the investment in additional assets by the Company. Interest
expense  was  $41,795,000  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1999,  compared  to
$28,927,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. For the second quarter of 1999,
interest income was $2,469,000, compared to $3,179,000 for the second quarter of
1998.

         Income  before  minority  interests  and  income  taxes for the  second
quarter of 1999 was  $212,450,000,  compared to $219,758,000 for the same period
in 1998.  Minority interests decreased income before income taxes by $24,012,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to decreasing income before income
taxes by  $20,156,000  for the second  quarter of 1998. The provision for income
taxes for the second  quarter of 1999 was  $74,433,000,  compared to $78,002,000
for the same period in 1998. The effective tax rates for the quarters ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 were 39.5% and 39.1%, respectively.  Net income for the second
quarter  of 1999 was  $114,005,000,  compared  to  $121,600,000  for the  second
quarter of 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

         Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  were  $2,078,179,000,
an increase of  $160,335,000,  or 8.4%, over the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Same store  revenues,  excluding  discontinued  home health  operations  in both
periods, were $1,940,706,000,  an increase of $72,857,000,  or 3.9%, as compared
to the same  period in 1998.  New store  revenues  were  $134,614,000.  Revenues

         As of June 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $1,133,769,000,
including cash and marketable  securities of  $170,244,000.  Working  capital at
December 31, 1998, was $945,927,000, including cash and marketable securities of
$142,513,000.  For the first six months of 1999, cash provided by operations was
$358,507,000, compared to $237,501,000 for the same period in 1998. Additions to
property,  plant, and equipment and acquisitions  accounted for $159,481,000 and
$79,143,000,  respectively,  during  the first six  months of 1999.  Those  same
investing activities accounted for $298,744,000 and $187,138,000,  respectively,
in the same period in 1998.  Financing  activities used $60,077,000 and provided
$610,078,000  during  the first six months of 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Net
borrowing  proceeds  (borrowing  less  principal  reductions)  for the first six
months of 1999 and 1998 were $68,786,000 and $593,200,000, respectively.

         Accounts  receivable were  $1,084,837,000 at June 30, 1999, compared to
$897,901,000  at December  31, 1998.  The number of days of average  revenues in
ending receivables at June 30, 1999, was 94.5,  compared to 81.8 days of average
revenues in ending  receivables  at December 31, 1998. The increase is primarily
due to delays by payors in processing and paying claims.  The company  continues
to work with payors to resolve such issues,  but there can be no assurance  that
such efforts will be successful.  The  concentration of net accounts  receivable
from patients,  third-party  payors,  insurance companies and others at June 30,
1999, is consistent  with the related  concentration  of revenues for the period
then ended.

         The  Company  has  a  $1,750,000,000  revolving  credit  facility  with
NationsBank,  N.A.  ("NationsBank")  and other  participating  banks  (the "1998
Credit Agreement"). The 1998 Credit Agreement replaced a previous $1,250,000,000
revolving credit agreement, also with NationsBank.  In conjunction with the 1998
Credit  Agreement,  the Company also canceled its  $350,000,000  364-day interim
revolving  credit  facility  with  NationsBank.  Interest  on  the  1998  Credit
Agreement 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 based on the unused portion of the revolving  credit facility  ranging
from 0.09% to 0.25%,  depending on certain defined ratios.  The principal amount
is payable in full on June 22, 2003. The Company has provided a negative  pledge
on all assets under the 1998 Credit  Agreement.  The effective  interest rate on
the average outstanding balance under the 1998 Credit Agreement was 5.5% for the
six months  ended June 30,  1999,  compared to the  average  prime rate of 7.75%
during the same period.  At June 30, 1999, the Company had drawn  $1,390,000,000
under the 1998 Credit Agreement.

         The Company also has a Short Term Credit Agreement with NationsBank (as
amended, the "Short Term Credit Agreement"),  providing for a $500,000,000 short
term revolving credit facility. The terms of the Short Term Credit Agreement are
substantially  consistent with those of the 1998 Credit  Agreement.  Interest on
the Short Term  Credit  Agreement  is paid  based on LIBOR plus a  predetermined
margin or a base  rate.  The  Company  is  required  to pay a fee on the  unused
portion of the credit facility ranging from 0.09% to 0.25%, depending on certain
defined  ratios.  The principal  amount is payable in full on February 15, 2000,
with an earlier repayment required in the event that the Company consummates any
public offering or private  placement of debt securities.  At June 30, 1999, the
Company had not drawn down any amounts under the Short Term Credit Agreement.

         On March 20, 1998, the Company issued $500,000,000 in 3.25% Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures  due 2003 (the  "3.25%  Convertible  Debentures")  in a
private  placement.  An  additional  $67,750,000  principal  amount of the 3.25%
Convertible  Debentures  was  issued  on March 31,  1998 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 $36.625 per share,  subject to the  adjustment
upon the occurrence of certain events. The net proceeds from the issuance of the
Convertible  Debentures  were  used  by the  Company  to pay  down  indebtedness
outstanding under its other existing credit facilities.

         On June 22, 1998,  the Company  issued  $250,000,000  in 6.875%  Senior
Notes due 2005 and $250,000,000 in 7.0% Senior Notes due 2008 (collectively, the
"Senior  Notes").  Interest  is payable on June 15 and  December  15. The Senior
Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The net proceeds
from the  issuance  of the  Senior  Notes  were used by the  Company to pay down
indebtedness outstanding under its existing credit facilities.

         On February 8, 1999,  the Company  announced a plan to repurchase up to
70,000,000  shares of its  common  stock  over the next 36 months  through  open
market  purchases,  block trades or privately  negotiated  transactions.  In the
first six  months  of 1999,  the  Company  repurchased  approximately  7,552,000
shares.

         In June 1999,  the Company  announced  that its Board of Directors  had
given  preliminary  approval to the  exploration  and  development  of a plan to
divide its inpatient and outpatient  businesses into separate  public  companies
through  the  tax-free  spin-off  of the  Company's  inpatient  operations.  The
Company, working with its special tax counsel and its tax accountants,  has been
engaged in  reviewing  the various  tax,  structural,  operational  and business
issues associated with the proposed transaction.

         The  Company  intends  to pursue  the  acquisition  or  development  of
additional   healthcare   operations,    including   outpatient   rehabilitation
facilities,  inpatient  rehabilitation  facilities,  ambulatory surgery centers,
outpatient  diagnostic  centers and companies  engaged in the provision of other
complementary 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  $100,000,000  to  $200,000,000  on
maintenance  and  expansion  of  its  existing   facilities  and   approximately
$300,000,000  to  $500,000,000  to repurchase

                                    Page 15

<PAGE>

outstanding shares of its common stock,  depending on market conditions,  and on
continued development of the Integrated Service Model.

         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
existing credit facilities 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 on the
Company's  business,  and is not expected to adversely affect the Company in the
future unless it increases significantly.

EXPOSURES TO MARKET RISK

         The  Company is exposed to market  risk  related to changes in interest
rates.  Because of its  favorable  borrowing  arrangements  and  current  market
conditions,  the Company  currently does not use  derivatives,  such as swaps or
caps,  to  alter  the  interest  characteristics  of its  debt  instruments  and
investment securities. The impact on earnings and value of market risk-sensitive
financial instruments (principally marketable security investments and long-term
debt) is subject to change as a result of  movements in market rates and prices.
The Company uses sensitivity analysis models to evaluate these impacts.

         The Company's  investment in marketable  securities  was  $3,641,000 at
June 30, 1999, which represents less than 1% of total assets at that date. These
securities are generally short-term, highly liquid instruments and, accordingly,
their fair value  approximates  cost.  Earnings  on  investments  in  marketable
securities  are not  significant  to the Company's  results of  operations,  and
therefore  any changes in interest  rates would have a minimal  impact on future
pre-tax earnings.

         With   respect   to   the   Company's   interest-bearing   liabilities,
approximately  $1,390,000,000  in long-term  debt at June 30, 1999 is subject to
variable  rates of interest,  while the remaining  balance in long-term  debt of
$1,508,981,000  is subject to fixed rates of  interest  (see Note 2 of "Notes to
Consolidated  Financial Statements" for further  description).  This compares to
$1,325,000,000  in  long-term  debt  subject to variable  rates of interest  and
$1,505,926,000  in long-term debt subject to fixed rates of interest at December
31,  1998.  The fair  value of the  Company's  total  long-term  debt,  based on
discounted  cash flow  analyses,  except for the 3.25%  Convertible  Debentures,
approximates its carrying value at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. The fair
value of the 3.25%  Convertible  Debentures was  approximately  $476,000,000 and
$483,000,000  at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,  respectively.  Based on a
hypothetical  1% increase  in interest  rates,  the  potential  losses in future
annual pre-tax earnings would be approximately $13,900,000. The impact of such a
change on the carrying value of long-term debt would not be  significant.  These
amounts are determined considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates
on the Company's  borrowing cost and long-term debt balances.  These analyses do
not consider the effects,  if any, of the potential changes in the overall level
of economic  activity that could exist in such an environment.  Further,  in the
event of a change of  significant  magnitude,  management  would  expect to take
actions intended to further mitigate its exposure to such change.

         Foreign  operations,  and the  related  market  risks  associated  with
foreign  currency,  are  currently  insignificant  to the  Company's  results of
operations and financial position.

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES AND YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code
in existing computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. Many existing computer
programs use only two digits to identify a year in the date field.  The issue is
whether such code exists in the Company's  mission-critical  applications and if
that code will produce accurate information to date-sensitive calculations after
the turn of the century.

         The Company is involved in an  extensive,  ongoing  program to identify
and correct  problems  arising from the year 2000 issues.  The program is broken
down into the following categories:  (1)

                                    Page 16

<PAGE>

mission-critical  computer  applications which are internally  maintained by the
Company's  information  technology  department;  (2)  mission-critical  computer
applications    which   are    maintained   by    third-party    vendors;    (3)
non-mission-critical  applications, whether internally or externally maintained;
(4) hardware;  (5) embedded applications which control certain medical and other
equipment;  (6) computer  applications  of its  significant  suppliers;  and (7)
computer applications of its significant payors.

         Mission-critical  computer applications are those which are integral to
the Company's business mission,  which have no reasonable manual alternative for
producing the same information and results,  and the failure of which to produce
accurate  information and results would have a significant adverse impact on the
Company.  Such  applications  include the Company's general business systems and
its patient billing systems. Most of the Company's clinical applications are not
considered   mission-critical,   because  reasonable  manual   alternatives  are
available to produce the same information and results for as long as necessary.

         The  Company's  review of its  internally  maintained  mission-critical
applications  revealed that such applications  contained very few date-sensitive
calculations.  The  revisions  to these  applications  have been  completed  and
tested.  Implementation was completed during the first quarter of 1999 at a cost
of approximately $150,000.

         The  Company's  general  business  applications  are licensed  from and
maintained  by the same  vendor.  All such  applications  are already  year 2000
compliant.  The coding  and  testing of all of the  Company's  other  externally
maintained mission-critical  applications for year 2000 compliance was completed
during 1998.  Installation of certain applications has been completed at a total
cost of approximately $1,500,000.

         The Company has reviewed all of its  non-mission-critical  applications
and determined that some of these  applications  are not year 2000 compliant and
will not be made to be  compliant.  In such cases,  the  Company  has  developed
manual  alternatives  to produce the  information  that such  systems  currently
produce.  The incremental cost of the manual systems is not currently  estimated
to be material.  The Company plans to evaluate the  effectiveness  of the manual
systems before any decisions are made on the  replacement  of the  non-compliant
applications.

         The Company engaged an independent contractor to inventory and test all
of its computer  hardware for year 2000  compliance  at a cost of  approximately
$1,100,000.  The contractor completed the inventory and testing during the first
six months of 1999. The Company has utilized the  information  received from the
contractor to develop a remediation  plan. The execution of the remediation plan
is underway and will continue into the fourth  quarter of 1999.  The estimate of
the  range of cost to  complete  remediation  is  approximately  $35,000,000  to
$40,000,000.

         The Company has  completed  its review of embedded  applications  which
control certain medical and other  equipment.  As expected,  the review revealed
that the nature of the Company's business is such that any failure of these type
applications is not expected to have a material  adverse effect on its business.
In  particular,   the  Company  has  focused  on  reviewing  and  testing  those
applications the failure of which would be likely to cause a significant risk of
death or serious injury to patients under treatment in the Company's facilities,
and the Company  believes  that,  because of the types of services it  primarily
provides and the nature of its patient population, there is little likelihood of
such an event occurring because of the failure of an embedded application.

         The  Company  has  sent  inquiries  to  its  significant  suppliers  of
equipment  and medical  supplies  concerning  the year 2000  compliance of their
significant  computer  applications.  Responses  have  been  received  from over
95% of those  suppliers,  and no significant  problems have been identified.

                                    Page 17

<PAGE>

         The  Company has also sent  inquiries  to its  significant  third-party
payors.  Responses have been received from payors  representing  over 86% of the
Company's  revenues.  Such responses indicate that these payors' systems will be
year 2000 compliant.  The Company will continue to evaluate year 2000 risks with
respect to such payors as additional responses are received. In that connection,
it should be noted that  substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived
from reimbursement by governmental and private  third-party payors, and that the
Company is dependent upon such payors'  evaluation of their year 2000 compliance
status to assess such risks. If such payors are incorrect in their evaluation of
their own year 2000 compliance status,  this could result in delays or errors in
reimbursement  to the  Company by such  payors,  the  effects of which  could be
material to the Company.

         Each of the Company's  facilities is required,  by Company  policy,  to
maintain a disaster  recovery  plan.  The  management  of each facility has been
instructed to review and update such facility's  specific disaster recovery plan
in light of  potential  local area  problems  that may occur as a result of year
2000 computer failures. Such potential problems include, but are not limited to,
interruption   and/or  loss  of  electrical  power  and  water,   breakdowns  in
telecommunications  systems  and the  inability  to  transport  supplies  and/or
personnel.  The Company's  primary exposure resides in its inpatient  locations,
where patients will be in residence during the time that such potential problems
may occur.  Execution of each facility's  disaster recovery plan should mitigate
this exposure for a period of ten to fourteen days. If such  potential  problems
continue  to occur  after that  period of time,  the  Company  will have to take
actions that are not currently  contemplated  in the various  disaster  recovery
plans.  It is not  currently  possible  to  estimate  the  cost or scope of such
actions.

         Guidance  from the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  requires the
Company to describe its  "reasonably  likely worst case  scenario" in connection
with year 2000 issues.  As discussed above,  while there is always the potential
risk  of  serious  injury  or  death   resulting  from  a  failure  of  embedded
applications  in medical and other  equipment  used by the Company,  the Company
does not believe that such events are  reasonably  likely to occur.  The Company
believes that the most reasonably likely worst case to which it would be exposed
is that,  notwithstanding  the Company's attempts to obtain year 2000 compliance
assurance from third-party  payors,  there is a material failure in such payors'
systems which prevents or substantially  delays reimbursement to the Company for
its services. In such event, the Company would be forced to rely on cash on hand
and   available   borrowing   capacity  to  the  extent  of  any   shortfall  in
reimbursement,  and could be forced to incur  additional costs for personnel and
other resources  necessary to resolve any payment issues.  It is not possible at
this time to predict  the nature or amount of such costs or the  materiality  of
any  reimbursement  issues  that may arise as a result of the failure of payors'
payment systems, the effect of which could be substantial. The Company continues
to  endeavor  to  obtain  reliable  information  from  its  payors  as to  their
compliance  status,  and will attempt to adopt and revise its contingency  plans
for dealing with payment  issues if, as and when such issues become  susceptible
of prediction.

         Based on the information currently available, the Company believes that
its  risk  associated  with  problems  arising  from  year  2000  issues  is not
significant.  However,  because of the many  uncertainties  associated with year
2000  compliance  issues,  and because the Company's  assessment is  necessarily
based on information from third-party vendors,  payors and suppliers,  there can
be no  assurance  that  the  Company's  assessment  is  correct  or  as  to  the
materiality  or effect of any  failure of such  assessment  to be  correct.  The
Company will continue with its assessment process as described above and, to the
extent that  changes in such  assessment  require  it,  will  attempt to develop
alternatives or modifications to its compliance plan described above. There can,
however,  be no  assurance  that such  compliance  plan,  as it may be  changed,
augmented or modified from time to time, will be successful.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         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, involve a
number of risks and  uncertainties  and are made

                                    Page 18

<PAGE>

pursuant to the "safe harbor"  provisions of the Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that other factors will not affect
the accuracy of such  forward-looking  statements or that  HEALTHSOUTH's  actual
results  will  not  differ  materially  from  the  results  anticipated  in such
forward-looking  statements.  While 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  or delays  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.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company was served with certain lawsuits filed beginning  September
30, 1998 purporting to be class actions under the federal and Alabama securities
laws.  Such lawsuits were filed following a decline in the Company's stock price
at the end of the third  quarter  of 1998.  Seven  such  suits were filed in the
United States  District Court for the Northern  District of Alabama.  In January
1999,  those suits were  ordered to be  consolidated  under the case style In re
HEALTHSOUTH Corporation Securities Litigation, Master File No. CV98-O-2634-S. On
April 12, 1999, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated  amended  complaint  against
the  Company  and  certain of its  current  and former  officers  and  directors
alleging that,  during the period April 24, 1997 through September 30, 1998, the
defendants   misrepresented   or  failed  to  disclose  certain  material  facts
concerning the Company's business and financial  condition and the impact of the
Balanced Budget Act of 1997 on the Company's operations in order to artificially
inflate  the price of the  Company's  Common  Stock and issued or sold shares of
such stock during the  purported  class  period,  all  allegedly in violation of
Section 10(b) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
Certain of the named  plaintiffs  in the  consolidated  amended  complaint  also
purport to represent separate  subclasses  consisting of former  stockholders of
Horizon/CMS  Healthcare  Corporation  and  National  Surgery  Centers,  Inc. who
received  shares of the Company's  Common Stock in connection with the Company's
acquisition of those entities and assert  additional  claims under Section 11 of
the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the registration of securities issued
in those acquisitions.

         Another suit,  Peter J. Petrunya v.  HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation,  et al.,
Civil Action No. 98-05931,  was filed in the Circuit Court for Jefferson County,
Alabama,  alleging  that during the period July 16, 1996 through  September  30,
1998 the defendants  misrepresented or failed to disclose certain material facts
concerning  the  Company's  business  and  financial  condition,   allegedly  in
violation  of Sections  8-6-17 and 8-6-19 of the  Alabama  Securities  Act.  The
Petrunya complaint was voluntarily  dismissed by the plaintiff without prejudice
in January 1999.  Additionally,  a suit styled Dennis Family Trust v. Richard M.
Scrushy, et al., Civil Action No. 98-06592,  has been filed in the Circuit Court
for Jefferson County,  Alabama,  purportedly as a derivative action on behalf of
the Company.  That suit largely replicates the allegations  originally set forth
in the  individual  complaints  filed in the federal  actions  described  in the
preceding  paragraph  and alleges  that the current  directors  of the  Company,
certain  former  directors and certain  officers of the Company  breached  their
fiduciary duties to the Company and engaged in other allegedly tortious conduct.
The  plaintiff  in that case has  forborne  pursuing  its claim thus far pending
further  developments  in the federal  action,  and the Company has not yet been
required to file a responsive pleading in the case.

         The  Company  filed  a  motion  to  dismiss  the  consolidated  amended
complaint  in the  federal  action in late June and is  currently  awaiting  the
plaintiffs'  response to such motion.  The Company cannot predict when the court
will hear arguments or rule on such motion. The Company believes that all claims
asserted in the above suits are without merit, and expects to vigorously  defend
against  such claims.  Because such suits remain at an early stage,  the Company
cannot  currently  predict the outcome of any such suits or the magnitude of any
potential loss if the Company's defense is unsuccessful.
