1.  Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------

     The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 has been derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Health Management
Associates, Inc.'s (the Company's) 1998 Annual Report.  The interim consolidated

ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited; however, such interim statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of a normal recurring nature) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company included in its 1998 Annual Report.

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


          Results of Operations 
          ---------------------
          Three months ended March 31, 1999 compared
          ------------------------------------------
          to three months ended March 31, 1998
          ------------------------------------

               Net patient service revenue for the three months ended March 31,
          1999 ("1999 Period") was $339,748,000, as compared to $302,922,000 for
          the three months ended March 31, 1998 ("1998 Period"). This
          represented an increase in net patient service revenue of $36,826,000,
          or 12.2%. Hospitals in operation for the entire 1999 Period and 1998
          Period ("same hospitals") provided $17,253,000 of the increase in net
          patient service revenue, which resulted primarily from inpatient and
          outpatient volume increases. The remaining increase of $19,573,000
          included $19,652,000 of net patient service revenue from the
          acquisition of the 166-bed Regional Healthcare , Inc. health system
          effective June 1, 1998, offset by a decrease of $79,000 in Corporate
          and miscellaneous revenue.

               During the 1999 Period the Company's hospitals generated total
          patient days of service and an occupancy rate of 188,740 and 54.7%,
          respectively, versus 176,197 and 52.2%, respectively, for the 1998
          Period. Same hospital patient days and occupancy for the 1999 Period
          were 159,078 and 52.2%, respectively, versus 162,416 and 52.4%,
          respectively for the 1998 Period. Same hospital admissions for the
          Company during the 1999 Period were 34,438, up 3.4% from the 33,313
          admissions during the 1998 Period.

               The Company's operating expenses (salaries and benefits, supplies
          and expenses, provision for doubtful accounts and rent expense) for
          the 1999 Period were $246,188,000 or 72.5% of net patient service
          revenue as compared to $222,055,000 or 73.3% of net patient service
          revenue for the 1998 Period. Of the total $24,133,000 increase,
          approximately $8,857,000 related to same hospitals, which was largely
          attributable to the increased patient volumes. Another $14,349,000 of
          increased operating expense related to the acquisition mentioned
          previously. The remaining increase of $927,000 represented an increase
          in Corporate and miscellaneous other operating expenses.

               The Company's depreciation and amortization costs increased by
          $1,780,000 and interest expense decreased by $958,000. The increase in
          depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from the acquisitions
          mentioned previously. The decrease in interest expense was due largely
          to lower investment income and capitalized interest costs during the
          1999 Period, which are netted against interest expense.

Item 2.   Management's discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations (continued)


               The Company's income before income taxes was $78,534,000 for the
          1999 Period as compared to $66,663,000 for the 1998 Period, an
          increase of $11,871,000 or 17.8%. The increase resulted primarily from
          same hospital volume increases and the acquisition mentioned
          previously. The Company's provision for income taxes was $30,827,000
          for the 1999 Period as compared to $26,165,000 for the 1998 Period.
          These provisions reflect effective income tax rates of 39.25% for both
          periods. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income was
          $47,707,000 for the 1999 Period as compared to $40,498,000 for the
          1998 Period.

          Results of Operations
          ---------------------
          Six months ended March 31, 1999 compared
          ----------------------------------------
          to six months ended March 31, 1998
          ----------------------------------

               Net patient service revenue for the six months ended March 31,
          1999 ("1999 Six Month Period") was $645,244,000, as compared to
          $537,492,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998 ("1998 Six Month
          Period"). This represented an increase in net patient service revenue
          of $107,752,000, or 20.0%. Same hospitals provided $32,910,000 of the
          increase in net patient service revenue, which resulted primarily from
          inpatient and outpatient volume increases. The remaining increase of
          $74,842,000 included $75,009,000 of net patient service revenue from
          the acquisition of the 125-bed Southwest hospital effective November
          1, 1997, the 221-bed River Oaks Health System effective January 1,
          1998, the 180-bed Riley Memorial Hospital effective January 2, 1998,
          and the 166-bed Regional Healthcare, Inc. health system effective June
          1, 1998, offset by a decrease of $167,000 in Corporate and
          miscellaneous revenue.

               During the 1999 Six Month Period the Company's hospitals
          generated 350,655 total patient days of service and an occupancy rate
          of 50.5%, respectively, versus 309,119 and 49.8%, respectively, for
          the 1998 Six Month Period. Same hospital patient days and occupancy
          for the 1999 Six Month Period were 254,246 and 49.3%, respectively,
          versus 253,930 and 49.8%, respectively, for the 1998 Six Month Period.
          Same hospital admissions for the Company during the 1999 Six Month
          Period were 56,259, up 3.6% from the 54,290 admissions during the 1998
          Six Month Period.

               The Company's operating expenses for the 1999 Six Month Period
          were $484,864,000 or 75.1% of net patient service revenue as compared
          to $405,135,000 or 75.4% of net patient service revenue for the 1998
          Six Month Period. Of the total $79,729,000 increase, approximately
          $24,219,000 related to same store hospitals, which was largely
          attributable to increased patient volumes. Another $54,003 ,000 of
          increased operating expense related to the hospital acquisitions
          mentioned previously. The remaining increase of $1,507,000 represented
          an increase in Corporate and miscellaneous other operating expenses.

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


               The Company's depreciation and amortization costs increased by
          $6,115,000 and interest expense decreased by $31,000. The increase in
          depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from the acquisitions
          previously mentioned. The decrease in interest expense reflects lower
          investment income and capitalized interest costs during the 1999 Six
          Month Period, which are netted against interest expense.

               The Company's income before income taxes was $129,487,000 for the
          1999 Six Month Period as compared to $107,548,000 for the 1998 Six
          Month Period, an increase of $21,939,000, or 20.4%. The increase
          resulted primarily from same hospital volume increases and the
          acquisitions mentioned previously. The Company's provision for income
          taxes was $50,825,000 for the 1999 Six Month Period as compared to
          $42,213,000 for the 1998 Six Month Period. These provisions reflect
          effective income tax rates of 39.25% for both periods. As a result of
          the foregoing, the Company's net income was $78,662,000 for the 1999
          Six Month Period as compared to $65,335,000 for the 1998 Six Month
          Period.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          -------------------------------

               The Company's operating cash flows totaled $107,411,000 for the
          1999 Six Month Period as compared to $54,319,000 for the 1998 Six
          Month Period. The positive cash flows resulted from the Company's
          profitability and management of its working capital. The Company's
          investing activities used $84,515,000 and $117,245,000 for the 1999
          Six Month Period and 1998 Six Month Period, respectively. Acquisitions
          and capital expenditure requirements accounted for substantially all
          of the funds used in investing activities in both periods. Financing
          activities used net cash of $15,396,000 for the 1999 Six Month Period
          and provided $5,000,000 during the 1998 Six Month Period. Increased
          principal debt reductions and purchases of the Company's common stock
          accounted for the majority of the change from the 1998 Six Month
          Period to the 1999 Six Month Period. See the Condensed Consolidated
          Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and
          1998 at page 6 of this Report.

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

               The Company currently has a $300 million Amended and Restated
          Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks. Interest accrues at the
          option of the Company at either the prime rate of interest, a fixed
          certificate of deposit rate of the agent bank or a LIBOR rate. Under
          all methods, interest payments are required quarterly. The interest
          rate is subject to adjustments based upon certain debt-related
          financial statement ratios provided under the Amended and Restated
          Credit Agreement. As of May 1, 1999, there was a $200 million
          outstanding balance. The $300 million Amended and Restated Credit
          Agreement permits the Company to borrow under a revolving credit loan
          at any time through November 30, 1999, at which time any outstanding
          balance becomes due and payable. The Company is currently negotiating 
          a renewal of the facility.

               The Company also has a revolving credit facility with a bank
          which provides a $10 million unsecured line of credit commitment
          through January 31, 2000. All outstanding loans under this revolving
          credit facility are due on January 31, 2000. Interest on the
          outstanding loans is payable at the bank's Index Rate (prime) less
          1/2%. As of May 1, 1999, there were no amounts outstanding under this
          line.

               The Company is obligated to pay certain commitment fees based
          upon amounts borrowed and available for borrowing during the terms of
          both such credit facilities ("Credit Facilities").

               The Company's Credit Facilities contain certain covenants which,
          without prior consent of the banks, limit certain activities of the
          Company and its subsidiaries, including those relating to merger,
          consolidation and the Company's ability to secure indebtedness, make
          guarantees, and grant security interests. The Company must also
          maintain minimum levels of consolidated tangible net worth, debt
          service coverage, and debt to cash flow and net worth.

               Effective October 28, 1998 the Company completed a Form S-3 to
          register $300 million of senior unsecured debt securities. The Company
          may issue all or part of the issue at a future date for general
          corporate purposes, including acquisitions, capital expenditures,
          refinancing of indebtedness, working capital, and repurchase and
          redemption of securities.

               Effective April 1, 1999 the Company acquired a 473-bed,
          2-hospital health system located in Jackson, Mississippi pursuant to
          an asset purchase and lease agreement. The consideration totaled
          approximately $135 million in cash, including $20 million in net
          working capital.

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


               Effective May 1, 1999 the Company acquired a 167-bed, 2-hospital
          system located in Key West, Florida pursuant to asset purchase and
          lease agreements. The consideration totaled approximately $49.9
          million, which included $27 million in cash paid at closing, $18.6
          recorded as the net present value of lease payments required over the
          30 year term of the lease, and the assumption of $4.3 million in debt.
          The agreements included the assumption of working capital balances at
          closing, and also entitle the Company to receive $1.5 million per year
          in cash from the seller for the first ten years of the lease to
          support indigent care programs.

               At the present time, the Company anticipates that cash on hand,
          internally generated funds and funds available under its Credit
          Facilities and Form S-3 mentioned above will be sufficient to satisfy
          the Company's requirements for capital expenditures, future
          acquisitions and working capital.


          Year 2000 Computer Issues
          -------------------------

               The Year 2000 Computer Issue is the result of most computer
          programs using two digits rather than four to identify a year in a
          data field. These programs were designed and developed without
          considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not
          corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous
          results on or after January 1, 2000.

               The Company has implemented a plan to evaluate and correct the
          effect of this problem on the Company's computer system and programs.
          As part of the plan, the Company is also contacting its principal
          vendors and suppliers to identify and correct the potential effects of
          this problem relating to embedded systems of certain computer aided
          medical and other equipment. In addition, the Company is contacting
          the Federal and State governments, other payors and other companies
          with which the Company's systems interface or on which they rely to
          monitor their timely completion of necessary upgrades.

               The Company's financial systems, including general ledger,
          accounts payable, cash management, payroll and patient accounting are
          substantially Year 2000 compliant. Facility testing of systems-wide
          changes is currently in progress, with Company-wide implementation
          expected to be completed by the quarter ending June 30, 1999.

               The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to
          complete the Year 2000 modifications. The majority of the costs
          relating to the Year 2000 Issue will be expensed as incurred.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


          Management of the Company does not believe such costs will have a
          material adverse impact to the Company's future results of operation.
          However, there can be no guarantee that actual results could differ
          materially from those anticipated. Factors that might cause material
          differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost
          of trained personnel and the ability to locate and correct all
          relevant computer coding and all medical equipment affected.

               As noted above, the Company is contacting its principal
          suppliers, other vendors and payors, including Federal and State
          governments, Medicare fiscal intermediaries, insurance companies and
          managed care companies, concerning the status of their Year 2000
          compliance. The Company is not aware at this time whether those other
          systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant and is unable to estimate
          at this time the impact on the Company if one or more of those systems
          is not Year 2000 compliant. For the foregoing reasons, the Company is
          not able to determine at this time whether the Year 2000 Computer
          Issue will materially affect its future financial results or financial
          condition.

          Forward-Looking Statements
          --------------------------

               Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q, including,
          without limitation, statements containing the words "believes,"
          "anticipates," "intends," "expects" and words of similar import,
          constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
          Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
          statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
          factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
          of the Company or industry results to be materially different from any
          future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
          such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others,
          the following: general economic and business conditions, both
          nationally and in the regions in which the Company operates; industry
          capacity; demographic changes; existing governmental regulations and
          changes in, or the failure to comply with, governmental regulations;
          legislative proposals for health care reform; the ability to enter
          into managed care provider arrangements on acceptable terms; changes
          in Medicare and Medicaid payment levels; liability and other claims
          asserted against the Company; competition; the loss of any significant
          ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including
          physicians; the availability and terms of capital to fund additional
          acquisitions or replacement facilities. Given these uncertainties,
          prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
          such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation
          to update any such factors or to publicly announce the results of any
          revision to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to
          reflect future events or developments.
