NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) was formed in October 2004. On February 24, 2005, Select Medical Corporation (“Select”), merged with a subsidiary of Holdings (“Merger”), formerly known as EGL Holding Company, which resulted in Select becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Holdings, Select and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Company.” The Company’s financial position and results of operations prior to the Merger are presented separately in the consolidated financial statements as “Predecessor” financial statements, while the Company’s financial position and results of operations following the Merger are presented as “Successor” financial statements. Due to the revaluation of assets as a result of purchase accounting associated with the Merger, the pre-merger financial statements are not comparable with those after the Merger in certain respects.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2006 (Successor) and for the periods of January 1, 2005 to February 24, 2005 (Predecessor) and February 25, 2005 to June 30, 2005 (Successor), the three months ended June 30, 2005 (Successor) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (Successor) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained in Amendment No. 4 to the Company’s Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2006.

2. Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

The Company revised the classification of restricted cash from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from investing activities for the periods of January 1, 2005 to February 24, 2005 (Predecessor) and February 25, 2005 to June 30, 2005 (Successor). In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 is an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise’s tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition of tax positions. The recognition threshold and measurement attribute is part of a two step tax position evaluation process prescribed in FIN No. 48. FIN No. 48 is effective after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN No. 48 to its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB) issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of SFAS No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities associated with a transfer of assets (e.g., a sale of receivables) be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value and requires an entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated SFAS No. 156 and has determined that there is no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments, eliminates the FASB’s interim guidance which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and eliminates the restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the five years commencing January 1, 2006 will be approximately $7.8 million in 2006 through 2010 and primarily relates to the amortization of the value associated with the non-compete agreements entered into in connection with the acquisitions of Kessler Rehabilitation Corporation and SemperCare Inc. and the value assigned to the Company’s contract therapy relationships. The useful lives of the Kessler non-compete, SemperCare non-compete and the Company’s contract therapy relationships are approximately six, seven and five years, respectively.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the Company’s reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are as follows:


	Specialty		Outpatient
	Hospitals		Rehabilitation		Total
			(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2005	$	1,221,776	$	83,434	$	1,305,210
Tax adjustments related to merger		112		10,800		10,912
Goodwill acquired during year		299		1,194		1,493
Earnouts		—		100		100
Other		—		1,296		1,296

Balance as of June 30, 2006	$	1,222,187	$	96,824	$	1,319,011

In conjunction with recording the gain on sale of the Canadian Back Institute Limited (“CBIL”) (Note 6), the Company determined that deferred taxes should have been recorded as of the date of the Merger related to differences between the Company’s book and tax investment basis in CBIL. This adjustment was recorded in the first quarter of 2006 and is not considered to be material on a qualitative or quantitative basis.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2005 consist of cumulative translation adjustment gains of $1.8 million, associated with the Company’s Canadian subsidiary which was sold on March 1, 2006 (Note 6) and a gain of $3.5 million, net of tax of $2.5 million, on an interest rate swap transaction. At June 30, 2006, other comprehensive income consisted of a gain of $9.0 million, net of tax of $6.3 million, on an interest rate swap transaction.

5. Segment Information

The Company’s segments consist of (i) specialty hospitals and (ii) outpatient rehabilitation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. All other primarily includes the Company’s general and administrative services. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, income from discontinued operations, loss on early retirement of debt, merger related charges, other income and minority interest.

The following table summarizes selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments:

For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, the period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005, the period from February 25, 2005 through June 30, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 approximately $1.8 million, $0.9 million, $115.0 million, $6.1 million and $1.9 million of stock compensation expense was included in general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, respectively. For the period from January 1 through February 24, 2005, $27.2 million of stock compensation expense was included in cost of services on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

6. Discontinued Operations

On December 23, 2005, the Company agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canadian Back Institute Limited (“CBIL”), for approximately C$89.8 million (US$79.0 million). The sale was completed on March 1, 2006. CBIL operated 109 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in seven Canadian provinces. The Company operated all of its Canadian activity through CBIL. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the amount of net working capital and long term liabilities of CBIL and its subsidiaries on the closing date. CBIL’s assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 and its operating results have been classified as discontinued operations and cash flows have been included with continuing operations for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005, the period from February 25, 2005 through June 30, 2005 and the three months ended June 30, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006. Previously, the operating results of this subsidiary were included in the Company’s outpatient rehabilitation segment.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On August 24, 2004, Clifford C. Marsden and Ming Xu filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of the public stockholders of Select against Martin F. Jackson, Robert A. Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Patricia A. Rice and Select. In February 2005, the Court appointed James Shaver, Frank C. Bagatta and Capital Invest, die Kapitalanlagegesellschaft der Bank Austria Creditanstalt Gruppe GmbH as lead plaintiffs (“Lead Plaintiffs”).

On April 19, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of Select, against Martin F. Jackson, Robert A. Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Patricia A. Rice, and Select as defendants. The amended complaint continues to allege, among other things, failure to disclose adverse information regarding a potential regulatory change affecting reimbursement for Select’s services applicable to long-term acute care hospitals operated as hospitals within hospitals, and the issuance of false and misleading statements about the financial outlook of Select. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, interest and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the allegations in the amended complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against this action. In April 2006, the Court granted in part and denied in part Select and the individual officers’ preliminary motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Select and the individual officers have answered the amended complaint and the case has moved to the discovery and class certification phase. The Company does not believe this claim will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. However, due to the uncertain nature of such litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business, which include malpractice claims covered under insurance policies. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

To cover claims arising out of the operations of the Company’s hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company’s other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities.

Health care providers are often subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. A qui tam lawsuit against Select has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, but because the action is still under seal, the Company does not know the details of the allegations or the relief sought. As is required by law, the federal government is conducting an investigation of matters alleged by this complaint. The Company has received subpoenas for patient records and other documents apparently related to the federal government’s investigation. The Company believes that this investigation involves the billing practices of certain of its subsidiaries that provide outpatient services to beneficiaries of Medicare and other federal health care programs. The three relators in this qui tam lawsuit are two former employees of the Company’s Las Vegas, Nevada

subsidiary who were terminated by Select in 2001 and a former employee of the Company’s Florida subsidiary who the Company asked to resign. Select sued the former Las Vegas employees in state court in Nevada in 2001 for, among other things, return of misappropriated funds, and the Company’s lawsuit has recently been transferred to the federal court in Las Vegas. While the government has investigated but chosen not to intervene in two previous qui tam lawsuits filed against Select, the Company cannot provide assurance that the government will not intervene in the Nevada qui tam case or any other existing or future qui tam lawsuit against the Company. While litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes, based on its prior experiences with qui tam cases and the limited information currently available to the Company, that the Nevada qui tam action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other

The Company has entered into a number of construction contracts for renovation of the real estate it has recently purchased and for a major renovation at one of its rehabilitation hospitals. Outstanding commitments under these contracts approximate $28.7 million at June 30, 2006.


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

You should read this discussion together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

Forward Looking Statements

This discussion contains forward-looking statements relating to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of Select Medical Holdings Corporation. These statements include, without limitation, statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to factors including the following:

	•		compliance with the Medicare “hospital within a hospital” regulation changes will require increased capital expenditures and may have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		additional changes in government reimbursement for our services may have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability, such as the regulations adopted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on May 2, 2006;

	•		the failure of our long-term acute care hospitals to maintain their status as such may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;

	•		the failure of our facilities operated as “hospitals within hospitals” to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;

	•		implementation of modifications to the admissions policies for our inpatient rehabilitation facilities, as required to achieve compliance with Medicare guidelines, may result in a loss of patient volume at these hospitals and, as a result, may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		implementation of annual caps that limit the amounts that can be paid for outpatient therapy services rendered to any Medicare beneficiary may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		changes in applicable regulations or a government investigation or assertion that we have violated applicable regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		integration of recently acquired operations and future acquisitions may prove difficult or unsuccessful, use significant resources or expose us to unforeseen liabilities;

	•		private third-party payors for our services may undertake future cost containment initiatives that limit our future net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		the failure to maintain established relationships with the physicians in our markets could reduce our net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		shortages in qualified nurses or therapists could increase our operating costs significantly;

	•		competition may limit our ability to grow and result in a decrease in our net operating revenues and profitability;

	•		the loss of key members of our management team could significantly disrupt our operations; and

	•		the effect of claims asserted against us or lack of adequate available insurance could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

Overview

We are a leading operator of specialty hospitals in the United States. We are also a leading operator of outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States. As of June 30, 2006, we operated 96 long-term acute care hospitals in 27 states, four acute medical rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as inpatient rehabilitation facilities in New Jersey, and 610 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 24 states and the District of Columbia. We also provide medical rehabilitation services on a contract basis at nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and work sites. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership of our current management team.

We manage our company through two business segments, our specialty hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. We had net operating revenues of $961.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Of this total, we earned approximately 75% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals and approximately 25% from our outpatient rehabilitation business.

Our specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long-term stay acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients in our long-term acute care hospitals typically suffer from serious and often complex medical conditions that require a high degree of care. Patients in our inpatient rehabilitation facilities typically suffer from debilitating injuries, including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, and require rehabilitation care in the form of physical and vocational rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation business consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living.

Recent Trends and Events

CBIL Sale

On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, Canadian Back Institute Limited (“CBIL”), for approximately C$89.8 million in cash (US$79.0 million). As of December 31, 2005, CBIL operated 109 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in seven Canadian provinces. We conducted all of our Canadian operations through CBIL. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the amount of net working capital and long-term liabilities of CBIL and its subsidiaries on the closing date. The financial results of CBIL have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this report, and its assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale on our December 31, 2005 balance sheet. We have recognized a gain on sale (net of tax) of $9.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2006

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, our net operating revenues increased 1.8% to $482.1 million compared to $473.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in net operating revenues was attributable to a 3.8% increase in our specialty hospital net operating revenues offset by a 3.2% decline in our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues that resulted from a decline in the number of clinics we own and in the volume of visits occurring at the owned clinics. We realized income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 of $78.0 million compared to $71.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $32.6 million compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our net operating revenues increased 2.3% to $961.9 million compared to $939.8 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in net operating revenues was attributable to a 4.5% increase in our specialty hospital net operating revenues offset by a 2.5% decline in our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues that resulted from a decline in the number of clinics we own and in the volume of visits occurring at the owned clinics. We had income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $144.4 million compared to $0.5 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. For the combined six month period ended June 30, 2005 we incurred $148.4 million of stock compensation costs as a result of the Merger. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $65.5 million compared to $44.9 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase resulted from the significant increase in merger related debt that occurred on February 25, 2005.

Our cash flow from operations provided $82.8 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Regulatory Changes

On May 2, 2006, CMS released its final annual payment rate updates for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007). The May 2006 final rule makes several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts.

For discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the rule changes the payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for each LTC-DRG (referred to as “short-stay outlier” or “SSO” cases). Previously, payment for these patients was based on the lesser of (1) 120 percent of the cost of the case; (2) 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient’s length of stay; or (3) the full LTC-DRG payment. The final rule modifies the limitation in clause (1) above to reduce payment for SSO cases to 100 percent (rather than 120 percent) of the cost of the case. The final rule also adds a fourth limitation, capping payment for SSO cases at a per diem rate derived from blending 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital inpatient prospective payment system (“IPPS”). Under this methodology, as a patient’s length of stay increases, the percentage of the per diem amount based upon the IPPS component will decrease and the percentage based on the LTC-DRG component will increase.

In addition, for discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the final rule provides for (i) a zero-percent update for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year to the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate used as a basis for LTCH-PPS payments; (ii) the elimination of the surgical case exception to the three-day or less interruption of stay policy, under which surgical exception Medicare reimburses a general acute care hospital directly for surgical services furnished to a long-term acute care hospital patient during a brief interruption of stay from the long-term acute care hospital, rather than requiring the long-term acute care hospital to bear responsibility for such surgical services; and (iii) increasing the costs that a long-term acute care hospital must bear before Medicare will make additional payments for a case under its high-cost outlier policy for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year.

CMS estimates that the changes in the May 2006 final rule will result in an approximately 3.7 percent decrease in LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge as compared to the 2006 rate year, largely attributable to the revised SSO payment methodology. Based upon our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues, we expect that the May 2006 final rule will reduce Medicare revenues associated with SSO cases and high cost outlier cases to our long-term acute care hospitals by approximately $30.0 million on an annual basis. Additionally, had CMS updated the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate by the 2007 estimated market basket index of 3.4 percent rather than applying the zero-percent update, we estimate that we would have received approximately $31.0 million in additional Medicare revenues, based on our historical Medicare patient volumes

and revenues (such revenues would have been paid to our hospitals for discharges beginning on or after July 1, 2006).

On August 11, 2004, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, also known as CMS, published final regulations applicable to long-term acute care hospitals that are operated as “hospitals within hospitals” or as “satellites” (collectively referred to as “HIHs”). HIHs are separate hospitals located in space leased from, and located in, general acute care hospitals, known as “host” hospitals. As of June 30, 2006, we operated 96 long-term acute care hospitals, 86 of which operated as HIHs. Effective for hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, subject to certain exceptions, the final regulations provide lower rates of reimbursement to HIHs for those Medicare patients admitted from their hosts that are in excess of a specified percentage threshold. For HIHs opened after October 1, 2004, the Medicare admissions threshold has been established at 25%. For HIHs that meet specified criteria and were in existence as of October 1, 2004, including all of our existing HIHs, the Medicare admissions thresholds will be phased-in over a four-year period starting with hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, as follows: (i) for discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2004 and before October 1, 2005, the Medicare admissions threshold is the Fiscal 2004 Percentage (as defined below) of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital; (ii) for discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2005 and before October 1, 2006, the Medicare admissions threshold is the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 75%; (iii) for discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2006 and before October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 50%; and (iv) for discharges during cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is 25%. As used above, “Fiscal 2004 Percentage” means, with respect to any HIH, the percentage of all Medicare patients discharged by such HIH during its cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2003 and before October 1, 2004 who were admitted to such HIH from its host hospital, but in no event is the Fiscal 2004 Percentage less than 25%. We have developed a business plan and strategy in each of our markets to adapt to the HIH regulations and maintain our Company’s current business. Our transition plan includes managing admissions at existing HIHs, relocating certain HIHs to leased spaces in smaller host hospitals in the same markets, consolidating HIHs in certain of our markets, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying free-standing facilities and closing a small number of our facilities. At this time we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on revenues or operating expenses at the hospitals being moved. If CMS implements certain additional regulatory changes that it has proposed and discussed and that would affect long-term acute care hospitals more generally, our plan would have to be further modified.

The new HIH regulations established exceptions to the Medicare admissions thresholds with respect to patients who reach “outlier” status at the host hospital, HIHs located in “MSA-dominant hospitals” or HIHs located in rural areas.

Development of New Specialty Hospitals and Clinics

We expect to continue evaluating opportunities to develop new long-term acute care hospitals. Additionally, we are evaluating opportunities to develop free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facilities similar to the four inpatient rehabilitation facilities acquired through our September 2003 Kessler acquisition. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in our current markets where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth.

Operating Statistics

The following table sets forth operating statistics for our specialty hospitals and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for each of the periods presented. The data in the table reflect the changes in the number of specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operate that resulted from acquisitions, start-up activities, closures and consolidations. The operating statistics reflect data for the period of time these operations were managed by us.

Results of Operations

On February 24, 2005, Select Medical Corporation (“Select”) consummated a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours pursuant to which Select became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Although the Predecessor and Successor results are not comparable by definition due to the Merger and the resulting change in basis, for ease of comparison in the following discussion and to assist the reader in understanding our operating performance and trends, the financial data for the period after the Merger, February 25, 2005 through June 30, 2005 (Successor period), has been added to the financial data for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 (Predecessor period), to arrive at the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The combined data is referred to herein as the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. As a result of the Merger, certain of our costs and expenses have been affected by increased interest expense, loss on early retirement of debt, merger related charges, a significant stock compensation charge allocated to cost of services and general and administrative expense and increases in depreciation and amortization due to the revaluation of our tangible and intangible assets. We believe this combined presentation is a reasonable means of presenting our operating results. The following table presents the combined consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

N/M — Not Meaningful.

(1)		The financial data for the period after the Merger, February 25, 2005 through June 30, 2005 (Successor period), has been added to the financial data for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 (Predecessor period), to arrive at the combined six months ended June 30, 2005.

(2)		Cost of services include salaries, wages and benefits, operating supplies, lease and rent expense and other operating costs.

(3)		We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, income from discontinued operations, loss on early retirement of debt, merger related charges, stock compensation expense and minority interest. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating units. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See footnote 5 to our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2006 for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA as utilized by us in reporting our segment performance in accordance with SFAS No. 131.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net Operating Revenues

Our net operating revenues increased by 1.8% to $482.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $473.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Specialty Hospitals.Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased 3.8% to $360.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $347.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Net operating revenues for the specialty hospitals opened or acquired as of January 1, 2005 and operated by us throughout both periods increased 4.9% to $360.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $343.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from higher net revenue per patient day. Our patient days for these hospitals increased 1.6%. Additionally, our occupancy percentage was 70% for both the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Outpatient Rehabilitation.Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues declined 3.2% to $120.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $124.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The number of patient visits in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics declined 11.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 762,177 visits compared to 863,966 visits for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in net operating revenues and patient visits was principally related to a 5.6% decline in the number of clinics we own and a 6.6% decline in the volume of visits per clinic. We are continuing to experience declines in our patient visits in a number of markets that result from physicians opening competing physical therapy practices. Net revenue per visit in our clinics was $94 in 2006 compared to $89 in 2005.

Other.Our other revenues were $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decline resulted from the sale of our home medical equipment and infusion/intravenous service business which we sold in May 2005.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by 0.7% to $392.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $389.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 81.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 82.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Cost of services as a percentage of operating revenues was 77.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 78.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. These costs primarily reflect our labor expenses. Another component of cost of services is facility rent expense, which was $20.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. During the same time period, general and administrative expense declined in total, and as a percentage of net operating revenues. General and administrative expenses were 2.4% of net operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 included costs associated with the SemperCare Corporate office that was closed during the second quarter of 2005. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 1.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 1.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Adjusted EBITDA

Specialty Hospitals. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 5.2% to $82.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $78.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 22.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from 22.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The hospitals opened or acquired as of January 1, 2005 and operated by us throughout both periods had Adjusted EBITDA of $84.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 8.4% over the Adjusted EBITDA of these hospitals for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin in these same store hospitals increased to 23.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Outpatient Rehabilitation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 0.7% to $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 15.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from 14.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the decline in clinic visit volumes described under—“Net Operating Revenue -Outpatient Rehabilitation” above.

Other. The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a loss of $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This reduction in the Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily the result of the decline in our general and administrative expenses.

Income from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2006 we experienced income from operations of $78.0 million compared to $71.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in income from operations resulted from the Adjusted EBITDA changes described above, a reduction in general and administrative expense discussed above and a small reduction in depreciation and amortization expense. This reduction in depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from revisions in our preliminary estimates of amortization of identifiable intangible assets recorded as part of the Merger.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $32.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense is related to interest costs associated with the $175.0 million of senior floating rate notes issued in September 2005, offset by a reduction in interest expense resulting from lower outstanding debt balances under Select’s senior credit facility.

Minority Interests

Minority interests in consolidated earnings was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 39.7%. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 we recorded income tax expense of $17.0 million. This expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.2%.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary CBIL. The operating results of CBIL have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Combined Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net Operating Revenues

Our net operating revenues increased by 2.3% to $961.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $939.8 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005.

Specialty Hospitals.Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased 4.5% to $720.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $689.6 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. Net operating revenues for the specialty hospitals opened or acquired as of January 1, 2005 and operated by us throughout both periods increased 5.9% to $719.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $679.3 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from higher net revenue per patient day. Our patient days for these hospitals increased 1.8%. Additionally, our occupancy percentage increased to 72% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 71% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005.

Outpatient Rehabilitation.Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues declined 2.5% to $239.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $246.1 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The number of patient visits in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics declined 10.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 1,547,016 compared to 1,727,139 visits for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in net operating revenues and patient visits was principally related to a 5.6% decline in the number of clinics we own and a 5.1% decline in the volume of visits per clinic. We are continuing to experience declines in our patient visits in a number of markets that result from physicians opening competing physical therapy practices. Net revenue per visit in these clinics was $93 in 2006 compared to $90 in 2005.

Other.Our other revenues were $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $4.2 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The decline resulted from the sale of our home medical equipment and infusion/intravenous service business which we sold in May 2005.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses decreased by 13.3% to $794.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $917.1 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to the significant decline in stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In connection with the Merger, we granted restricted stock awards to certain key management employees. These awards generally vest over five years. Effective at the time of the Merger, Holdings also granted stock options to certain other key employees that vest over five years. The fair value of restricted stock awards and stock options vesting during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.9 million and for the period from February 25, 2005 through June 30, 2005 was $6.1 million which were included in general and administrative expenses. Additionally, during the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 25, 2005, all of our then outstanding stock options were redeemed in accordance with the Merger agreement. This resulted in a charge of $142.2 million of which $115.0 million is included in general and administrative expense and $27.2 million is included in cost of services.

As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 82.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 97.6% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. Cost of services as a percentage of operating revenues was 78.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 80.5% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. These costs primarily reflect our labor expenses. This reduction resulted from a decline in our stock compensation costs offset by an increase in our direct labor costs in both our specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation segments which occurred during the first quarter of 2006. This is primarily the result of inefficient nurse staffing ratios in our specialty hospitals and higher salaries for physical and occupational therapists in our outpatient clinics. Another component of cost of services is facility rent expense, which was $42.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $40.9 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. During the same time period, general and administrative expense declined in total, and as a percentage of net operating revenues. General and administrative expenses were 2.5% of net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 15.3% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. Our general and administrative expenses for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005 included costs associated with the SemperCare Corporate office that were not eliminated until the second quarter of 2005 and stock compensation related to the Merger. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 1.8% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005.

Adjusted EBITDA

Specialty Hospitals. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 0.2% to $157.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $157.7 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins declined to 21.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 22.9% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The hospitals opened or acquired as of January 1, 2005 and operated by us throughout both periods had Adjusted EBITDA of $159.7 million, an increase of 2.5% over the Adjusted EBITDA of these hospitals in 2005. This increase in same hospital Adjusted EBITDA resulted from an increase in our patient days and rate, although the increase in rate was not sufficient to offset our increase in labor costs and costs of purchased services. As a result, our Adjusted EBITDA margin in these same store hospitals declined to 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 23.0% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005.

Outpatient Rehabilitation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 10.6% to $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $37.1 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins declined to 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 15.1% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the decline in clinic visit volumes described under—“Net Operating Revenue -Outpatient Rehabilitation” above. Additionally, we experienced increased labor costs for physical and occupational therapists in 2006.

Other. The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a loss of $23.8 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. This reduction in the Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily the result of the decline in our general and administrative expenses associated with the SemperCare Corporate office that was closed during the second quarter of 2005.

Income from Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2006 we experienced income from operations of $144.4 million compared to income from operations of $0.5 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The lower income from operations experienced for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted from the significant

stock compensation expense of $142.2 million related to the cancellation of all vested and unvested outstanding stock options in accordance with the terms of the Merger agreement in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

In connection with the Merger, Select commenced tender offers to acquire all of our 9¹/2% senior subordinated notes due 2009 and all of our 7¹/2% senior subordinated notes due 2013. Upon completion of the tender offers on February 24, 2005, all $175.0 million of the 7¹/2% senior subordinated notes were tendered and $169.3 million of the $175.0 million of 9¹/2% notes were tendered. The loss on early retirement of debt consists of the tender premium cost of $34.8 million and the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.9 million.

Merger Related Charges

As a result of the Merger, we incurred costs in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 directly related to the Merger. This included the cost of the investment advisor hired by the Special Committee of Select’s Board of Directors to evaluate the Merger, legal and accounting fees, costs associated with the Hart-Scott-Rodino filing related to the Merger, cost associated with purchasing a six year extended reporting period under our directors and officers liability insurance policy and other associated expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $20.6 million to $65.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $44.9 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense is due to the higher debt levels outstanding in the Successor periods resulting from the Merger and the issuance of the $175.0 million senior floating rate notes in September 2005.

Minority Interests

Minority interests in consolidated earnings was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1.2 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 42.2%. We recorded income tax benefit of $59.8 million for the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005. The tax benefit represented an effective tax benefit rate of 37.2%. This effective tax benefit rate consisted of the statutory Federal rate of 35.0% and a state rate of 2.2%. Because of the differing state tax rules related to net operating losses, a portion of these state net operating losses were assigned valuation allowances. We recorded income tax expense of $24.9 million for the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through June 30, 2005. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.4%.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary CBIL. The operating results of CBIL have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities provided $82.8 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating activities used $94.8 million of cash flow for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005, which includes $186.0 million in cash expenses related to the Merger. Our days sales outstanding decreased to 51 days at June 30, 2006, from 52 days at December 31, 2005. The reduction in days sales outstanding is primarily related to the timing of the periodic interim payments we received from Medicare for the services provided at our specialty hospitals.

Investing activities provided $2.4 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Investing activities used $169.1 million of cash flow for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The primary source of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulted from the sale of CBIL which generated proceeds of $76.8 million, which was offset by cash disbursements of $71.8 million related to building improvements and equipment purchases primarily associated with properties we acquired in 2005 and acquisition payments of $3.3 which primarily relate to the repurchase of minority interests. The primary use of cash for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005 related to the acquisition of SemperCare, which used $105.1 million in cash. The remaining use of cash was related to purchases of property and equipment of $58.8 million and other acquisition related payments of $5.4 million.

Financing activities utilized $109.0 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The cash usage resulted primarily from principal repayments on our credit facility of $87.9 million and repayment of bank overdrafts of $19.4 million. Financing activities provided $37.6 million of cash for the combined six months ended June 30, 2005. The Merger financing was the primary contributor of this cash flow. The excess proceeds from the Merger financing were used to pay merger related costs, which included the cancellation and cash-out of outstanding stock options.

Capital Resources

Net working capital was $44.3 million at June 30, 2006 compared to $77.6 million at December 31, 2005. This decrease in working capital was principally related to a reduction in cash and cash equivalents.

At June 30, 2006, Select’s senior credit facility provides for senior secured financing consisting of a term loan facility that matures on February 24, 2012 and a revolving loan facility that will terminate on February 24, 2011. At June 30, 2006, Select had outstanding $572.8 million of indebtedness under its senior credit facility all of which was under the term loan facility, excluding $23.9 million of letters of credit. At June 30, 2006 Select had $276.1 million of additional borrowing capacity under its revolving loan facility. Borrowings under the revolving loan facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest based upon financial covenant ratio tests. On June 13, 2005 Select entered into an interest rate swap transaction with an effective date of August 22, 2005. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The underlying variable rate debt is $200.0 million and the swap is for a period of five years.

At June 30, 2006 Select also had outstanding $660.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The notes are guaranteed by all of Select’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

We also have outstanding $175.0 million of senior floating rate notes due 2015 and $150.0 million of 10% senior subordinated notes due 2015. These notes are general unsecured obligations and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. On September 19, 2005, Select entered into an interest rate swap transaction with an effective date of September 29, 2005. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable interest payments. The underlying variable rate debt is $175.0 million and the swap is for a period of four years. In the six months ended June 30, 2006, Select remitted to us an aggregate of $15.8 million

consisting of $7.5 million to fund the interest payment on our $150.0 million 10% senior subordinated notes and $8.3 million to fund the interest payment on our $175.0 million senior floating rate notes. As of June 30, 2006, Select had remitted to us all the funds it was permitted to remit under the terms of its senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes. We expect in the future that Select will continue to remit to us the maximum amount that is permitted under the terms of its senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes, which includes amounts necessary to fund the interest payments on our 10% senior subordinated notes and our senior floating rate notes and other permitted payments.

We believe internally generated cash flows and borrowings of revolving loans under Select’s senior credit facility will be sufficient to finance operations for at least the next twelve months.

As a result of the HIH regulations enacted in 2004, we currently anticipate that we will need to relocate a significant number of our long-term acute care hospitals. Our transition plan includes managing admissions at existing HIHs, relocating certain HIHs to leased spaces in smaller host hospitals in the same markets, consolidating HIHs in certain of our markets, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying free-standing facilities and closing a small number of facilities. At this time we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on revenues or operating expenses at the hospitals being moved. These relocation efforts will require us to make additional capital expenditures above historic levels. We currently expect to spend approximately $320 million on capital expenditures through 2009, including both our ongoing maintenance capital expenditures and the capital required for hospital relocations. At June 30, 2006, we have outstanding commitments under construction contracts related to improvements and renovations at seven of our long-term acute care properties and one of our inpatient rehabilitation facilities totaling $28.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we have relocated seven of our HIH hospitals into five free-standing buildings. Additionally we have opened one new hospital in a free-standing building and one new hospital as an HIH. We closed one HIH hospital during 2006.

We also continue to evaluate opportunities to develop new long-term acute care hospitals. Additionally, we are evaluating opportunities to develop free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facilities similar to the four inpatient rehabilitation facilities acquired through our September 2003 Kessler acquisition. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in our current markets where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth.

Inflation

The healthcare industry is labor intensive. Wages and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We have implemented cost control measures, including our case and resource management program, to curtail increases in operating costs and expenses. We cannot predict our ability to cover or offset future cost increases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

interim periods, disclosure, and transition of tax positions. The recognition threshold and measurement attribute is part of a two step tax position evaluation process prescribed in FIN No. 48. FIN No. 48 is effective after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN No. 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of SFAS No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities associated with a transfer of assets (e.g., a sale of receivables) be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value and requires an entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 although early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated SFAS No. 156 and have determined that there is no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments, eliminates the FASB’s interim guidance which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and eliminates the restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to the loans outstanding under Select’s senior credit facility and our senior floating rate notes. As of June 30, 2006 Select had $572.8 million in term loans outstanding under its senior credit facility which bear interest at variable rates. On June 13, 2005, Select entered into an interest rate swap transaction. The effective date of the swap transaction was August 22, 2005. The swap transaction was entered into to mitigate the risks of future variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $200.0 million, the underlying variable rate debt is associated with Select’s senior credit facility, and the swap is for a period of five years. Each eighth point change in interest rates on the variable rate portion of Select’s outstanding senior credit facility at June 30, 2006 would result in a $0.5 million change in interest expense.

In conjunction with the issuance of the senior floating rate notes, Select entered into a swap transaction to mitigate the risks of future variable rate interest payments associated with this debt. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $175.0 million and the swap is for a period of four years.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial

officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Select has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, but because the action is still under seal, the Company does not know the details of the allegations or the relief sought. As is required by law, the federal government is conducting an investigation of matters alleged by this complaint. The Company has received subpoenas for patient records and other documents apparently related to the federal government’s investigation. The Company believes that this investigation involves the billing practices of certain of its subsidiaries that provide outpatient services to beneficiaries of Medicare and other federal health care programs. The three relators in this qui tam lawsuit are two former employees of the Company’s Las Vegas, Nevada subsidiary who were terminated by Select in 2001 and a former employee of the Company’s Florida subsidiary who the Company asked to resign. Select sued the former Las Vegas employees in state court in Nevada in 2001 for, among other things, return of misappropriated funds, and the Company’s lawsuit has recently been transferred to the federal court in Las Vegas. While the government has investigated but chosen not to intervene in two previous qui tam lawsuits filed against Select, the Company cannot provide assurance that the government will not intervene in the Nevada qui tam case or any other existing or future qui tam lawsuit against the Company. While litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes, based on its prior experiences with qui tam cases and the limited information currently available to the Company, that the Nevada qui tam action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
