              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  June 30, 1999

                                   (Unaudited)


1.       Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pediatrix")
         presented herein do not include all disclosures required by generally
         accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
         the opinion of management, these financial statements include all
         adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
         for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods.

         The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
         1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
         expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. The interim condensed
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
         the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission on March 24, 1999.

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
         1999 presentation.

2.       Business Acquisitions:

         During the first six months of 1999, the Company completed the
         acquisition of eight physician group practices. Total consideration for
         acquisitions approximated $49.2 million in cash and 1,000,000 shares of
         stock in a subsidiary of the Company.

         The Company has accounted for the acquisitions using the purchase
         method of accounting and the excess of cost over fair value of net
         assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25
         years. The results of operations of the acquired practices have been
         included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of
         acquisition.

         The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated
         results of operations of the Company and the physician group practices
         acquired during 1998 and 1999 as if the acquisitions had occurred on
         January 1, 1998:

         The pro forma results do not necessarily represent results which would
         have occurred if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of
         the period, nor are they indicative of the results of future combined
         operations.

2.       Business Acquisitions, Continued:

         Historically, the Company has capitalized certain incremental internal
         costs directly related to completed acquisitions. Effective January 1,
         1999, the Company expensed these costs as incurred. For the three and
         six months ended June 30, 1999, such costs totaled approximately
         $302,000 and $647,000, respectively.

3.       Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses:

         Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:

</TABLE>


4.       Net Income Per Share:

         Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
         Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by
         the weighted average number of common and potential common shares
         outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the
         dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated using the treasury
         stock method.

5.       Comprehensive Income:

         During 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130,
         "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires that all items
         recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
         income be reported in the financial statements. The components of
         comprehensive income not reflected in the Company's net income are
         related to the unrealized gains and losses on investments. For the
         quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, there were no items of other
         comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
         the net impact of recording these items would be $0 and ($89,000),
         respectively.

6.       Contingencies:

         During the ordinary course of business, the Company has become a party
         to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which
         involve claims of medical malpractice and are generally covered by
         insurance. These lawsuits are not expected to result in judgments which
         would exceed professional liability insurance coverage, and therefore
         will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results
         of operations, financial position or liquidity, notwithstanding any
         possible insurance recovery.

         In February 1999, the first of several federal securities law class
         actions was commenced against the Company and three of its principal
         officers in United States District Court for the Southern District of
         Florida. Plaintiffs are shareholders purporting to represent a class of
         all open market purchasers of the Company's common stock between April
         28, 1998, and various dates through and including April 1, 1999. They
         claim that during that period the Company violated the antifraud
         provisions of the federal securities laws by issuing false and
         misleading statements concerning its accounting practices and financial
         results, focusing in particular on the capitalization of certain
         payments made to employees in connection with acquisitions and revenue
         recognition in light of recent inquiries initiated by state
         investigators into the Company's billing practices. The complaints seek
         damages in an undetermined amount based on the alleged decline in the
         value of the common stock after the Company disclosed the
         capitalization issue and the inquiries by state investigators. On June
         24, 1999, the Judge in the United States District Court for the
         Southern District of Florida entered an Order of Consolidation
         consolidating into one case the several federal securities law class
         action lawsuits. The Judge recently entered two Orders in the case. The
         first Order granted the motion made by the three public pension funds
         to be appointed as lead plaintiffs and to have their counsel appointed
         as lead plaintiffs' counsel. The second Order set the administrative
         mechanism for handling the consolidated cases, including the time
         limitations for the filing of a consolidated Amended Complaint by
         plaintiffs and a responsive pleading by defendants. The Company
         continues to believe that the claims are without merit and intends to
         defend them vigorously at the appropriate time.

         In April 1999, the Company received requests, and in one case a
         subpoena, from investigators in Arizona, Colorado and Florida for
         information related to its billing practices. The Company is fully
         cooperating with these inquiries. Although the Company believes that
         its billing practices are proper, the investigations are ongoing and
         the Company is unable to predict at this time whether they will have
         any material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
         condition or results of operations.

7.       Subsequent Events:

         In July 1999, the Company purchased shares of common stock in a
         subsidiary held by minority shareholders for approximately $17.6
         million. The shares purchased represent approximately 23.5% of all
         outstanding shares of the subsidiary.

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

Results of Operations

         Three  Months Ended June 30, 1999 as Compared to Three Months Ended
         June 30, 1998

         The Company reported net patient service revenue of $56.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $46.1 million for the
same period in 1998, a growth rate of 23.0%. Of this $10.7 million net increase,
$12.2 million, or 114.0% was attributable to new units, including units at which
the Company provides services as a result of acquisitions. Same unit patient
service revenue decreased $1.5 million, or 3.5%, for the three months ended June
30, 1999. The decline in same unit patient service revenue is the result of a
lower acuity level of patient service billed in the three months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. Same units are those units at which
the Company provided services for the entire current period and the entire
comparable period.

         Salaries and benefits increased $6.7 million, or 23.6% to $35.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $28.6 million for the
same period in 1998. Of this $6.7 million increase, $3.3 million, or 49.3%, was
attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit growth, and
the remaining $3.4 million was primarily attributable to increased support staff
and resources added in the areas of nursing, management and billing and
reimbursement and certain internal costs directly related to completed
acquisitions that had historically been capitalized. Supplies and other
operating expenses increased $1.7 million, or 49.6% to $5.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $3.4 million for the same
period in 1998, primarily as a result of increased legal fees related to
government investigations (see Legal Proceedings), new units and the addition of
new outpatient offices. Outpatient services require a higher level of office
supplies than do inpatient services. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by approximately $846,000, or 39.8%, to $3.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $2.1 million for the same period in
1998, primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.

         Income from operations increased approximately $1.4 million, or 11.3%,
to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with
$12.0 million for the same period in 1998. The increase in income from
operations was primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.

         The Company recorded net interest expense of approximately $380,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with net interest expense of
approximately $197,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in interest
expense in 1999 is primarily the result of funds used for the acquisition of
physician practices and the use of the Company's line of credit for such
purposes.

         The effective income tax rate was approximately 40.0% for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

         Net income increased 9.9% to $7.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, as compared with $7.1 million for the same period in 1998.
Diluted net income per common and common equivalent share increased to 50 cents
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 45 cents for the same
period in 1998.

         Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
1998

         The Company reported net patient service revenue of $110.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $84.0 million for the same
period in 1998, a growth rate of 31.7%. This growth was attributable to new
units at which the Company provides services as a result of acquisitions. Same
unit patient service revenue was essentially flat for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Same units are those units at which the Company provided services for
the entire current period and the entire comparable period.

                                       9

         Salaries and benefits increased $17.6 million, or 33.7% to $69.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $52.1 million
for the same period in 1998. Of this $17.6 million increase, $10.3 million, or
58.5%, was attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit
growth, and the remaining $7.3 million was primarily attributable to increased
support staff and resources added in the areas of nursing, management and
billing and reimbursement and certain internal costs directly related to
completed acquisitions that had historically been capitalized. Supplies and
other operating expenses increased $3.5 million, or 57.7% to $9.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $6.1 million for the same
period in 1998, primarily as a result of: (i) increased legal fees related to
government investigations (see Legal Proceedings); (ii) additional audit fees
related to the Company's 1998 concurrent audit; (iii) new units; and (iv) the
addition of new outpatient offices. Outpatient services require a higher level
of office supplies than do inpatient services. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased by $1.8 million, or 47.8% to $5.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $3.8 million for the same period in 1998,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.

         Income from operations increased approximately $3.7 million, or 17.1%,
to $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $21.9
million for the same period in 1998. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.

         The Company recorded net interest expense of approximately $540,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with net interest income of
approximately $140,000 for the same period in 1998. The reduction of interest
income in 1999 is primarily the result of funds used for the acquisition of
physician practices and the use of the Company's line of credit for such
purposes.

         The effective income tax rate was approximately 40.0% for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

         Net income increased 13.9% to $15.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, as compared with $13.2 million for the same period in 1998.
Diluted net income per common and common equivalent share increased to 95 cents
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 83 cents for the same period
in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


         As of June 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of approximately
$28.9 million, an increase of $14.0 million from the working capital of $14.9
million available at December 31, 1998.

         As of June 30, 1999, the Company had $33.1 million available under its
$75 million line of credit. The Company anticipates that funds available under
its credit facility, together with funds generated from operations, will be
sufficient to meet its working capital requirements and finance any required
capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company
is currently in discussions to increase its line of credit.

Status of Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company has completed a review of its computer systems to identify
any software that could be affected by the transition to the year 2000.
Currently, all of the Company's critical systems are year 2000 compliant or are
upgradeable to commercially available versions that are compliant. The Company
anticipates that by the end of the third quarter of 1999 it will have completed
testing on all of its critical systems, which include its clinical, billing,
general ledger, and accounts payable systems. In addition, the Company is
completing an inventory and certain tests of its information technology assets
as well as critical non-information technology related assets and services,
including embedded microprocessors in, for example, ultra-sound machines. It is
expected that the testing and resolution of any issues encountered will be
completed by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The ultimate resolution may
require the replacement of certain equipment owned by the Company. The Company

                                       10

has not set a limit on the financial resources that may be applied to complete
this project, although, based upon the information that is currently available,
it is expected that the total cost, both capitalized and expensed will not
exceed $500,000.

         In preparing for the year 2000, the Company has requested certain
information from its payors, vendors, financial institutions and hospital
customers in order to evaluate their compliance plans and state of readiness.
The Company will continually update this information throughout 1999 in order to
determine what impact, if any these third parties may have on its business.
Pediatrix is in the process of developing a contingency plan to ensure that it
will be able to continue to provide services to its customers on and after
January 1, 2000. However, if a substantial number of payors, vendors and
hospital customers do not make modifications and conversions required on a
timely basis, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company's unsecured revolving credit facility, mortgage note
payable and certain operating lease agreements are subject to market risk and
interest rate changes. The total amount available under the credit facility is
$75 million. At the Company's option, the credit facility bears interest at
either LIBOR plus .875% or the prime rate. The mortgage note payable bears
interest at the prime rate and the leases bear interest at LIBOR based variable
rates. The outstanding principal balances on the credit facility and note
payable were approximately $41.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at June
30, 1999. The outstanding balances related to the operating leases totaled
approximately $12 million at June 30, 1999. Considering the total outstanding
balances under these instruments at June 30, 1999 of approximately $56.4
million, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an impact to pre-tax
earnings of approximately $564,000 per year.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------
                  During the ordinary course of business, the Company has become
         a party to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most
         of which involve claims of medical malpractice and are generally
         covered by insurance. These lawsuits are not expected to result in
         judgments which would exceed professional liability insurance coverage,
         and therefore will not have a material impact on the Company's
         consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity,
         notwithstanding any possible insurance recovery.

                  In February 1999, the first of several federal securities law
         class actions was commenced against the Company and three of its
         principal officers in United States District Court for the Southern
         District of Florida. Plaintiffs are shareholders purporting to
         represent a class of all open market purchasers of the Company's common
         stock between April 28, 1998, and various dates through and including
         April 1, 1999. They claim that during that period the Company violated
         the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws by issuing
         false and misleading statements concerning its accounting practices and
         financial results, focusing in particular on the capitalization of
         certain payments made to employees in connection with acquisitions and
         revenue recognition in light of recent inquiries initiated by state
         investigators into the Company's billing practices. The complaints seek
         damages in an undetermined amount based on the alleged decline in the
         value of the common stock after the Company disclosed the
         capitalization issue and the inquiries by state investigators. On June
         24, 1999, the Judge of the United States District Court for the
         Southern District of Florida entered an Order of Consolidation
         consolidating into one case the several federal securities law class
         action lawsuits. The Judge recently entered two Orders in the case. The
         first Order granted the motion made by the three public pension funds
         to be appointed as lead plaintiffs and to have their counsel appointed
         as lead plaintiffs' counsel. The second Order set the administrative
         mechanism for handling the consolidated cases, including the time
         limitations for the filing of a consolidated Amended Complaint by
         plaintiffs and a responsive pleading by defendants. The Company
         continues to believe that the claims are without merit and intends to
         defend them vigorously at the appropriate time.

                  In April 1999, the Company received requests, and in one case
         a subpoena, from investigators in Arizona, Colorado and Florida for
         information related to its billing practices. The Company is fully
         cooperating with these inquiries. Although the Company believes that
         its billing practices are proper, the investigations are ongoing and
         the Company is unable to predict at this time whether they will have
         any material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
         condition or results of operations.
