                      COLUMBIA/HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   UNAUDITED
 
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia/HCA") (the "Company") is a
Delaware corporation that operates hospitals and ancillary health care
facilities through (i) corporate subsidiaries, (ii) joint ventures or (iii)
ownership of controlling interests in various partnerships in which
subsidiaries of Columbia/HCA serve as the managing general partner.
 
  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include
all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally required in annual reports filed on Form 10-K.
Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements of Columbia/HCA for the year ended
December 31, 1994 filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as supplemented by Columbia/HCA's current report on Form 8-K dated
April 24, 1995.
 
  The financial information has been prepared in accordance with Columbia/HCA's
customary accounting practices and has not been audited. Management believes
that the financial information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for
a fair statement of interim results.
 
  On April 24, 1995, Columbia/HCA consummated a merger with Healthtrust, Inc.--
The Hospital Company ("Healthtrust") (the "Healthtrust Merger"). See Note 3 for
a description of the Healthtrust Merger.
 
NOTE 2--EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
  Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of
common stock equivalents consisting primarily of stock options. Fully diluted
earnings per common and common equivalent share are not presented because such
amounts approximate earnings per common and common equivalent share.
 
NOTE 3--HEALTHTRUST MERGER
 
  On October 4, 1994, Columbia/HCA entered into a definitive agreement to merge
with Healthtrust. This transaction was approved by the stockholders of both
companies on February 28, 1995 and was consummated on April 24, 1995. Shares of
Healthtrust common stock were converted on a tax-free basis into approximately
80,411,800 shares of Columbia/HCA voting common stock (an exchange ratio of
0.88 of a share of Columbia/HCA common stock for each share of Healthtrust
common stock).
 
  The Healthtrust Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and
accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the Healthtrust Merger and include the combined operations of
Columbia/HCA and Healthtrust for all periods presented. The following is a
summary of the results of operations of the separate entities for the periods
prior to the Healthtrust Merger (dollars in millions):

                                                                            $387
                                                                            ====
</TABLE>
  The writedown of assets relates to management's assessment of certain markets
in which there exists duplication of services and excess capacity in hospital
facilities. In the identified markets, Columbia/HCA expects to be able to
provide services more cost effectively by eliminating the fixed costs of the
facilities being closed and applying the fixed costs of the other facilities to
a larger patient base. The charge that was incurred is the amount considered
necessary to record the identified assets at their estimated net realizable
value and is substantially a non-cash charge. Columbia/HCA expects to have all
replacement facilities in progress and to have completed the identified
facility consolidations within twelve months.
 
  Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 include $159
million (before income taxes) of merger and facility consolidation costs
related primarily to the merger with HCA--Hospital Corporation of America
("HCA") (the "HCA Merger").
 
 Extinguishment of Debt
 
  In connection with the Healthtrust Merger, Columbia/HCA completed exchange
offers for substantially all of Healthtrust's $1.0 billion subordinated notes
and debentures. Columbia/HCA remains a co-obligor with Healthtrust with respect
to the securities that were not exchanged (approximately $44 million).
 
  Also in connection with the Healthtrust Merger, $706 million in outstanding
borrowings under the Healthtrust $1.2 billion bank credit agreement were
refinanced.
 
  The completion of the exchange offers and the refinancing of the borrowings
under the credit facility reduced net income in the second quarter of 1995 by
$96 million or $.21 per share.
 
  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1994 includes a $92 million or
$.22 per share extraordinary loss related to refinancing of long-term debt and
replacing HCA's bank credit agreement.

NOTE 6--INCOME TAXES
 
  The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has issued statutory notices of
deficiency in connection with its examinations of HCA's federal income tax
returns for 1981 through 1988. Columbia/HCA is currently contesting these
claimed deficiencies in the United States Tax Court (the "Tax Court"). In
addition, the IRS has proposed certain adjustments in connection with its
examinations of HCA's 1989 and 1990 federal income tax returns. The following
is a discussion of the disputed items.
 
 Method of Accounting
 
  For years 1981 through 1986, most of HCA's hospital subsidiaries (the
"Subsidiaries") reported taxable income primarily using the cash method of
accounting. This method was prevalent within the hospital industry and the
Subsidiaries applied the method in accordance with prior agreements with the
IRS. The IRS now asserts that the accrual method of accounting should have been
used by the Subsidiaries. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "1986 Act") requires
the use of the accrual method of accounting beginning in 1987. Consequently,
the Subsidiaries changed to the accrual method of accounting beginning January
1, 1987. In accordance with the provisions of the 1986 Act, income that had
been deferred at the end of 1986 is being recognized as taxable income by the
Subsidiaries in equal annual installments over ten years. If the IRS should
ultimately prevail in its claim that the Subsidiaries should have used the
accrual method for 1981 through 1986, the claim would be reduced to the extent
that HCA has recognized as taxable income a portion of such deferred income
since 1986. In addition, the sale by HCA of numerous Subsidiaries in 1987 that
had been using the cash method resulted in the recognition of a substantial
gain that would not have been recognized had the Subsidiaries been using the
accrual method. If the IRS were successful with respect to this issue,
Columbia/HCA would owe an additional $68 million in income taxes and $512
million in interest as of June 30, 1995.
 
 Hospital Acquisitions
 
  In connection with hospitals acquired by HCA in 1981 and 1985, the IRS has
asserted that a portion of the costs allocated to identifiable assets with
ascertainable useful lives should be reclassified as nondeductible goodwill. If
the IRS ultimately prevails in this regard, Columbia/HCA would owe an
additional $122 million in income taxes and $194 million in interest as of June
30, 1995.

                                   UNAUDITED
 
NOTE 6--INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
 Insurance Subsidiary
 
  Based on a Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decision (the Court having
jurisdiction over the HCA issues), HCA has claimed that insurance premiums paid
to its wholly owned insurance subsidiary ("Parthenon") are deductible, while
the IRS asserts that such premiums are not deductible and that corresponding
losses are only deductible at the time and to the extent that claims are
actually paid. HCA has claimed the additional deductions in its Tax Court
petitions. Through June 30, 1995, Columbia/HCA is seeking a refund totaling $63
million in income taxes and $127 million in interest in connection with this
issue.
 
  As an alternative to its position, HCA has asserted that in connection with
the sale of hospitals to Healthtrust in 1987, premiums paid to Parthenon by the
sold hospitals, if not deductible as discussed above, became deductible at the
time of the sale. Accordingly, HCA claimed such deduction in its 1987 federal
income tax return. The IRS has disallowed the deduction and is claiming an
additional $4 million in income taxes and $19 million in interest as of June
30, 1995. A final determination that the premiums are not deductible either
when paid to Parthenon or upon the sale of certain hospitals to Healthtrust
would increase the taxable basis in the hospitals sold, thereby reducing HCA's
gain realized on the sale.
 
 Healthtrust Sale
 
  In connection with its sale of certain Subsidiaries to Healthtrust in 1987 in
exchange for cash, Healthtrust preferred stock and stock purchase warrants, HCA
calculated its gain based on the valuation of such stock and warrants by an
independent appraiser. The IRS claims a higher aggregate valuation, based on
the face amount of the preferred stock and a separate appraisal Healthtrust
obtained for the stock purchase warrants. Application of the higher valuation
would increase the gain recognized by HCA on the sale. However, if the IRS
succeeds in its assertion, HCA's tax basis in its Healthtrust preferred stock
and warrants will be increased accordingly, thereby substantially reducing the
tax from the sale of such preferred stock and warrants by a corresponding
amount. By December 31, 1992, HCA had sold its entire interest in the
Healthtrust preferred stock and warrants. Including the effect of the sales of
these securities, the IRS is claiming additional interest of $77 million
through June 30, 1995.
 
  Also in connection with the 1987 sale of certain Subsidiaries to Healthtrust,
the IRS claims that HCA's basis in the stock of the Subsidiaries sold to
Healthtrust should be calculated by adjusting such basis to reflect accelerated
rather than straight-line depreciation, which would reduce HCA's basis in the
stock sold and increase the taxable gain on the sale. The IRS position is
contrary to a Tax Court decision in a similar case. The IRS is claiming
additional income taxes of $79 million and interest of $90 million through June
30, 1995.
 
  In connection with the 1987 Healthtrust transactions, the IRS further asserts
that, to the extent the Subsidiaries were properly on the cash method through
1986, and therefore properly recognizing taxable income over the ten-year
transition period, HCA should have additional income in 1987 equal to the
unamortized portion of the deferred income. It is HCA's position that no
additional income need be included in 1987 and that the deferred income
continues to qualify for the ten-year transition period after the sale. Should
the IRS prevail, Columbia/HCA would owe $9 million of additional income taxes
and $24 million of interest through June 30, 1995. The position of the IRS is
an alternative to its denial of the use of the cash method of accounting
previously discussed.
 
 Doubtful Accounts
 
  The IRS is asserting that in 1986 HCA was not entitled to include charity
care writeoffs in the formula used to calculate its deduction for doubtful
accounts. For years 1987 and 1988, the IRS is asserting that HCA
 
                                       9

NOTE 6--INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
was not entitled to exclude from income amounts which are unlikely to be
collected. Management believes that such exclusions are permissible under the
accrual method of accounting, and because HCA is a "service business" and not a
"merchandising business," it is entitled to a special exclusion provided to
service businesses by the 1986 Act. The IRS disagrees, asserting that HCA is
engaged, at least in part, in a merchandising business. Notwithstanding this
assertion, the IRS contends that the exclusion taken by HCA is excessive under
applicable Temporary Treasury Regulations. Columbia/HCA believes that the
calculation of the exclusion proposed by the IRS is inaccurate since it does
not permit the exclusion in accordance with the controlling statute. If the IRS
prevails, Columbia/HCA would owe additional income taxes of $137 million and
interest of $84 million through June 30, 1995.
 
 Leveraged Buy-out Expenses
 
  The IRS has asserted that no deduction is allowed for various expenses
incurred in connection with HCA's leveraged buy-out transaction in 1989,
including the amortization of loan costs incurred to borrow funds to acquire
the stock of the former shareholders, certain fees incurred by the Special
Committee of HCA's Board of Directors to evaluate the buy-out proposal,
compensation payments to cancel employee stock plans, and various other costs
incurred after the buy-out which have been treated as part of the transaction
by the IRS. Columbia/HCA believes that all of these costs are deductible. If
the IRS prevails on these issues, Columbia/HCA would owe income taxes of $95
million and interest of $42 million through June 30, 1995.
 
 Other Issues
 
  Additional federal income tax issues primarily concern disputes over the
depreciable lives utilized by HCA for constructed hospital facilities,
investment tax credits, vacation pay deductions and income from foreign
operations. Many of these items, including depreciation, investment tax credits
and foreign issues, have been resolved favorably in previous settlements. The
IRS is claiming an additional $38 million in income taxes and $23 million in
interest through June 30, 1995.
 
  In September 1994, Columbia/HCA presented its case in Tax Court for all
issues included in the statutory notices of deficiency for 1981 through 1988
other than the deductibility of insurance premiums paid to Parthenon, (which
was presented in November 1994). A Tax Court decision is expected in 1995.
Resolution of disputed income tax issues by the Tax Court will not be affected
by the merger with Healthtrust.
 
  Management believes that HCA had properly reported its income and paid its
taxes in accordance with applicable laws and agreements established with the
IRS during previous examinations, and that final resolution of these disputes
will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or
financial position of Columbia/HCA.

                ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
 Healthtrust Merger
 
  In April 1995 Columbia/HCA completed a merger transaction with Healthtrust,
Inc. --  The Hospital Company ("Healthtrust") (the "Healthtrust Merger"). At
the time of the Healthtrust Merger, Healthtrust operated 117 hospitals and
certain other ancillary health care facilities located in twenty-two states
with annual revenues approximating $3.4 billion. For accounting purposes, the
Healthtrust Merger was treated as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and operating data
included in this discussion and analysis give retroactive effect to the
Healthtrust Merger and include the combined operations of Columbia/HCA and
Healthtrust for all periods presented.
 
 Business Strategy
 
  Columbia/HCA's business strategy centers on working with physician and other
healthcare providers to develop comprehensive, integrated healthcare delivery
networks in targeted markets. The implementation of this strategy typically
involves significant health care facility acquisition and consolidation
activities.
 
  During the past several years, hospital industry inpatient admission trends
have been adversely impacted by cost containment efforts initiated by federal
and state governments and various third-party payers, including health
maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, commercial
insurance companies and employer-sponsored networks. In addition, a significant
number of medical procedures have shifted from inpatient to less expensive
outpatient settings as a result of both cost containment pressures and advances
in medical technology.
 
  In response to changes in the health care industry, Columbia/HCA has
developed the following strategy to provide the highest quality health care
services at the lowest possible cost:
 
  Become a significant provider of services--Columbia/HCA attempts to (i)
consolidate services to reduce costs and (ii) develop the geographic coverage
necessary for inclusion in managed care and employer-sponsored networks in each
market.
 
  Provide a comprehensive range of services--In addition to the operation of
general, acute care hospitals, Columbia/HCA also operates psychiatric and
rehabilitation facilities, outpatient surgery and diagnostic centers, home
health agencies and other services. This strategy enables Columbia/HCA to
attract business from managed care plans and major employers seeking efficient
access to a wide array of health care services.
 
  Deliver high quality services--Through the use of clinical information
systems and continuous quality enhancement programs, Columbia/HCA focuses on
patient outcomes and strives to continuously improve the quality of care and
service provided to patients.
 
  Integrate fragmented delivery systems--Through its networks, Columbia/HCA
focuses on coordinating pricing, contracting, information systems, economic
incentives and quality assurance activities among the providers in each market.

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(CONTINUED)
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 Second Quarters Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
 
  Revenues increased 23.9% to $4.4 billion in the second quarter of 1995
compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of acquisitions,
growth in inpatient and outpatient volumes and price increases. On a same-
hospital basis, second quarter 1995 admissions increased 3.8% and outpatient
visits increased 69.7% from a year ago. The increase in outpatient visits is
primarily a result of expanding home health and other outpatient ancillary
services.
 
  Income before income taxes decreased to $130 million in 1995 from $399
million in 1994 and pretax margins decreased to 3.0% in 1995 from 11.3% in
1994. Excluding the effect of the merger and facility consolidation costs
charged in the second quarter of 1995, income before taxes increased 29.5% to
$517 million in 1995 from $399 million in 1994 and pretax margins increased to
11.9% in 1995 from 11.3% in 1994. The improvement in pretax income was
attributable to the combination of growth in revenues and improvements in the
margin. Pretax margins increased due to improvements in staffing levels and
increased discounts on medical supplies. Salaries, wages and benefits declined
as a percentage of revenues to 40.5% in 1995 from 41.0% in 1994, while supply
costs declined as a percentage of revenues to 14.7% in 1995 compared to 15.1%
in 1994.
 
  Income before extraordinary item decreased 67.9% to $78 million ($.17 per
share) in the second quarter of 1995 compared to $243 million ($.58 per share)
in 1994. Excluding the effects of the merger and facility consolidation costs,
income before extraordinary item increased 29.1% to $313 million ($.70 per
share) in 1995 compared to $243 million ($.58 per share) in 1994.
 
  During the second quarter of 1995, Columbia/HCA recorded $105 million of
pretax costs incurred in connection with the Healthtrust Merger. These costs
included severance costs, investment advisory fees, and certain charges based
upon management's implementation of actions to reduce corporate overhead costs
and consolidate management information systems. Pretax charges of $282 million
were recorded to writedown assets to estimated net realizable value in
connection with management's plans to consolidate duplicative facilities and
replace facilities in certain markets.
 
  The acute care facilities acquired in connection with the EPIC Merger in May
1994 increased revenues in the second quarter of 1995 by $267 million, while
the free-standing surgical center business acquired in connection with the
merger with Medical Care America, Inc. ("MCA") (the "MCA Merger") in September
1994 increased revenues by $125 million.
 
  In connection with the Healthtrust Merger, substantially all of Healthtrust's
debt was refinanced to reduce future interest expense and eliminate certain
restrictive covenants. In the second quarter of 1995, Columbia/HCA exchanged
approximately $1 billion of Healthtrust's long-term debt and refinanced $706
million of the borrowings under the Healthtrust bank credit agreement resulting
in an after-tax loss of $96 million ($.21 per share).
 
 Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
 
  Revenues increased 25.7% to $8.7 billion for the six months ended June 30,
1995 compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of
acquisitions, growth in inpatient and outpatient volumes and price increases.
On a same-hospital basis, admissions increased 4.6% and outpatient visits
increased 80.2% from a year ago. The increase in outpatient visits is primarily
a result of expanding home health and other outpatient ancillary services.
 
  Income before income taxes increased to $732 million in 1995 from $715
million in 1994 and pretax margins decreased to 8.4% in 1995 from 10.3% in
1994. Excluding the effect of the merger and facility consolidation costs
charged in 1995 and 1994, income before taxes increased 27.9% to $1,119 million
in 1995 from $874 million in 1994 and pretax margins increased to 12.8% in 1995
from 12.6% in 1994. The improvement in pretax income was attributable to the
combination of growth in revenues and improvements in the margin. Pretax
margins increased due to improvements in staffing levels and increased

medical supplies. Salaries, wages and benefits declined as a percentage of
revenues to 40.1% in 1995 from 40.5% in 1994, while supply costs declined as a
percentage of revenues to 14.6% in 1995 compared to 15.2% in 1994.
 
  Income before extraordinary item increased 1.6% to $436 million ($.97 per
share) during the first six months of 1995 compared to $430 million ($1.03 per
share) in 1994. Excluding the effects of the merger and facility consolidation
costs charged in 1995 and 1994, income before extraordinary item increased
26.3% to $671 million ($1.50 per share) in 1995 compared to $532 million ($1.27
per share) in 1994.
 
  During the first six months of 1995, Columbia/HCA recorded $105 million of
pretax costs incurred in connection with the Healthtrust Merger. These costs
included severance costs, investment advisory fees, and certain charges based
upon management's implementation of actions to reduce corporate overhead costs
and consolidate management information systems. Pretax charges of $282 were
recorded to writedown assets to estimated net realizable value in connection
with management's plans to consolidate duplicative facilities and replace
facilities in certain markets.
 
  During the first six months of 1994, Columbia/HCA recorded $159 million
(before income taxes) of merger and facility consolidation costs in connection
with the HCA Merger.
 
  The acute care facilities acquired in connection with the EPIC Merger in May
1994 increased revenues in the first six months of 1995 by $555 million, while
the free-standing surgical center business acquired in connection with the MCA
Merger in September 1994 increased revenues by $245 million.
 
  In connection with the Healthtrust Merger, substantially all of Healthtrust's
debt was refinanced to reduce future interest expense and eliminate certain
restrictive covenants. During the first six months of 1995, Columbia/HCA
exchanged approximately $1 billion of Healthtrust's long-term debt and
refinanced $706 million of the borrowings under the Healthtrust bank credit
agreement resulting in an after-tax loss of $96 million ($.21 per share).
 
  In connection with the HCA Merger, substantial amounts of high-coupon long-
term debt were refinanced to reduce future interest expense and eliminate
certain restrictive covenants. During the first six months of 1994,
Columbia/HCA refinanced approximately $2 billion of long-term debt resulting in
an after-tax loss of $92 million ($.22 per share).
 
LIQUIDITY
 
  Cash provided by operating activities totaled $865 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared to $904 million last year. In both periods, cash
flows in excess of Columbia/HCA's capital expenditure program were used
primarily to finance acquisitions. Working capital totaled $1.2 billion at
June 30, 1995 compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 1994. Management
believes that cash flows from operations and amounts available under
Columbia/HCA's revolving credit facilities and related commercial paper
programs are sufficient to meet expected future liquidity needs.
 
  A substantial portion of the merger and facility consolidation costs in 1995
and 1994 comprises the writedown of recorded assets and, accordingly, these
transactions did not have a material adverse effect on cash flows from
operations.
 
  Investments of Columbia/HCA's professional liability insurance subsidiaries
to maintain statutory equity and pay claims totaled $930 million at June 30,
1995 and $973 million at December 31, 1994.
 
  Columbia/HCA's ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.72 and 4.30 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 3.27 and 4.02 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(CONTINUED)
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures totaled $632 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $527 million for the same period in
1994. Planned capital expenditures in 1995 (excluding acquisitions) are
expected to approximate $1.3 billion. Management believes that its capital
expenditure program is adequate to expand, improve and equip existing health
care facilities.
 
  Columbia/HCA also expended $751 million and $179 million for acquisitions and
joint ventures (excluding the EPIC Merger in 1994) during the respective six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of these activities. As
part of its business strategy, Columbia/HCA intends to acquire (either through
purchase or joint venture transactions) additional health care facilities in
the future.
 
  Columbia/HCA intends to finance all capital expenditures with internally
generated and borrowed funds. Available sources of capital include public or
private debt, commercial paper, unused bank revolving credits and equity. At
June 30, 1995, there were projects under construction which had an estimated
additional cost to complete of approximately $481 million.
 
  As part of the Healthtrust Merger, Columbia/HCA amended its revolving credit
agreement from an aggregate amount of $2.25 billion to $3.75 billion. In
addition, Columbia/HCA refinanced approximately $1 billion of Healthtrust long-
term debt and all outstanding borrowings under the Healthtrust $1.2 billion
bank credit agreement. The refinancing of the Healthtrust debt should result in
annual interest expense reductions of approximately $30 million.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
  As discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, Columbia/HCA is contesting certain income taxes and related
interest aggregating $1.6 billion at June 30, 1995 proposed by the IRS for
prior years. Management believes that final resolution of these disputes will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of
operations or liquidity of Columbia/HCA. However, if all or a majority of the
positions of the IRS are upheld, the financial position, results of operations
and liquidity of Columbia/HCA would be materially adversely affected.
 
  Resolution of various other loss contingencies, including litigation pending
against Columbia/HCA in the ordinary course of business, is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations.
 
  Agreements relating to long-term debt require, among other things,
maintenance of certain levels of interest coverage and provide limitations on
long-term debt, sales of assets, mergers, changes in ownership and certain
other financing activities. Columbia/HCA was in compliance with all such
covenants at June 30, 1995.
