Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
General
The following discussion is intended to facilitate the understanding
and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of
operations and financial condition of the Company, including certain factors
related to the acquisition by the Company of 28 inpatient rehabilitation
facilities and 45 associated outpatient rehabilitation locations from NME,
effective December 31, 1993 (the "NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition"), as well
as factors related to the acquisition transaction between the Company and
ReLife, Inc., which was effective December 29, 1994 (the "ReLife Acquisition").
The ReLife Acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and, unless
otherwise indicated, all amounts shown in the following discussion have been
restated to reflect the effect of the Relife Acquisition. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
During the periods discussed below, governmental, commercial and
private payors have increasingly recognized the need to contain their costs for
healthcare services. These payors are turning to closer monitoring of services,
prior authorization requirements, utilization review and increased utilization
of outpatient services. The Company has experienced an increased effort by these
payors to contain costs through negotiated discount pricing for health
maintenance organizations and similar patient referral services. The Company
views these efforts as an opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of its
clinical programs and its ability to provide its rehabilitative healthcare
services efficiently. The Company has entered into a number of contracts with
payors to provide services and has realized an increased volume of patients as a
result.
The Company provides rehabilitative healthcare services through its
inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities and medical centers. The
Company has expanded its operations through the acquisition or opening of new
facilities and satellite locations and by enhancing its existing operations. The
Company's revenues increased from $464,288,000 in 1992 to $1,127,441,000 in
1994, an increase of 143%. As of December 31, 1994, the Company has 402
locations in 33 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada, including
238 outpatient rehabilitation locations (including 111 outpatient rehabilitation
centers and 127 associated satellite clinics), 66 inpatient rehabilitation
locations with 39 associated satellite outpatient clinics, five medical centers,
and 54 locations providing other patient care services.
The Company's revenues include net patient service revenues and other
operating revenues. Net patient service revenues are reported at estimated net
realizable amounts from patients, insurance companies, third-party payors
(primarily Medicare and Medicaid) and others for services rendered. Revenues
from third-party payors also include estimated retroactive adjustments under
reimbursement agreements which are subject to final review and settlement by
appropriate authorities. Management determines allowances for doubtful accounts
and contractual adjustments based on historical experience and the terms of
payor contracts. Net accounts receivable include only those amounts estimated by
management to be collectible.
The Company, in many cases, operates more than one site within a
market. In such markets, there is customarily an outpatient center or inpatient
facility with associated satellite outpatient locations. For purposes of the
following discussion and analysis, same store operations are measured on
locations within markets in which similar operations existed at the end of the
period and include the operations of additional locations opened within the same
market. New store operations are measured on locations within new markets.
Effective December 31, 1993, the Company acquired 28 inpatient
rehabilitation facilities and 45 associated outpatient rehabilitation locations
from NME. After giving effect to the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition, the
Company's pro forma revenues were $979,456,000 and $1,030,215,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1992 and 1993, respectively.
2
Effective December 29, 1994, the Company consummated the ReLife
Acquisition as a merger accounted for as a pooling of interests. In connection
with the ReLife Acquisition, the Company acquired 31 inpatient rehabilitation
facilities and 12 outpatient rehabilitation centers. The ReLife operations
generated operating revenues of $118,874,000 for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1994, compared to $93,042,000 for the fiscal year ending September
30, 1993, an increase of 27.8%. The results for HEALTHSOUTH described below are
based on a combination of HEALTHSOUTH's results for its December 31 fiscal year
and ReLife's results for its September 30 fiscal year for all periods presented.
All data set forth relating to revenues derived from Medicare and Medicaid do
not take into account revenues of the ReLife facilities, because ReLife did not
separately track such revenues prior to consummation of the ReLife Acquisition.
The Company determines the amortization period of the cost in excess of
net asset value of purchased facilities based on an evaluation of the facts and
circumstances of each individual purchase transaction. The evaluation includes
an analysis of historic and projected financial performance, an evaluation of
the estimated useful life of the buildings and fixed assets acquired, the
indefinite useful life of Certificates of Need and licenses acquired, the
competition within local markets, lease terms where applicable, and the legal
term of partnerships where applicable. The Company utilizes independent
appraisers and relies on its own management expertise in evaluating each of the
factors noted above. With respect to the carrying value of the excess of cost
over net asset value of purchased facilities and other intangible assets, the
Company determines on a quarterly basis whether an impairment event has occurred
by considering factors such as the market value of the asset, a significant
adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, adverse action by a
regulator, a history of operating losses or cash flow losses, or a projection of
continuing losses associated with an operating entity. The carrying value of
excess cost over net asset value of purchased facilities and other intangible
assets will be evaluated if the facts and circumstances suggest that it has been
impaired. If this evaluation indicates that the value of the asset will not be
recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity
acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of
the asset will be reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.
Results of Operations of the Company
Twelve-Month Periods Ended December 31, 1992 and 1993
The Company operated 171 outpatient rehabilitation locations at
December 31, 1993, compared to 126 outpatient rehabilitation locations at
December 31, 1992. In addition, the Company operated 39 inpatient facilities and
four medical centers at December 31, 1993, compared to 22 inpatient facilities
and four medical centers at December 31, 1992. In 1993, the Company opened the
Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, and
acquired 13 inpatient facilities from Rebound, Inc. The foregoing information
does not give effect to the facilities acquired effective December 31, 1993 in
the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition.
The Company's operations generated revenues of $575,346,000 in 1993, an
increase of $111,058,000, or 23.9%, as compared to 1992 revenues. Same store
revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 1993 were $539,377,000 an
increase of $75,089,000, or 16.1%, as compared to the same period in 1992. New
store revenues for 1993 were $35,969,000. The increase in revenues is primarily
attributable to increases in patient volume and the addition of 45 outpatient
rehabilitation locations and 13 inpatient locations. Revenues generated from
patients under Medicare and Medicaid plans respectively accounted for 30.6% and
1.0% of revenues for 1993, compared to 29.3% and 1.3% of revenues for 1992.
Revenues from any other single third-party payor were not significant in
relation to the Company's revenues. During 1993, same store outpatient visits
and inpatient days increased 19.9% and 8.2%, respectively. Revenue per
outpatient visit and revenue per inpatient day for same store operations
increased by 0.6% and 6.3%, respectively.
Operating expenses, at the operating unit level, were $418,981,000, or
72.8% of revenues, for 1993, compared to 74.8% of revenues for 1992. Same store
operating expenses for 1993 were $391,409,000, or 72.6% of related revenues. New
store operating expenses were $27,572,000, or 76.7% of related revenues. The
decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily
attributable to increased patient volume and controlled expenses. Corporate
general and administrative expenses increased from $14,418,000 in 1992 to
$20,018,000 in 1993. As a percentage of revenues, corporate general and
administrative expenses increased from 3.1% in 1992 to 3.5% in 1993. Total
operating expenses were $438,999,000, or 76.3% of revenues, for 1993, compared
to $361,491,000, or 77.9% of revenues, for 1992. The provision for doubtful
accounts was $13,875,000, or 2.4% of revenues, for 1993, compared to
$11,842,000, or 2.6% of revenues, for 1992.
3
Depreciation and amortization expense was $39,376,000 for 1993,
compared to $26,737,000 for 1992. The increase represents the investment in
additional assets by the Company. Interest expense increased to $14,261,000 in
1993 compared to $11,295,000 for 1992 primarily because of the increased
borrowings during the year under the Company's revolving line of credit. For
1993, interest income was $3,698,000, compared to $5,121,000 for 1992. The
reduction in interest income is primarily attributable to the reduction in rates
received on invested funds and a decrease in the cash balance.
As a result of the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition, the Company
recognized an expense of approximately $49,742,000 during the year ended
December 31, 1993. By recognizing this expense, the Company accrued
approximately $3,000,000 for costs related to certain employee separations and
relocations. The Company expects the plan of consolidation to take up to 24
months. The $3,000,000 accrual, which is the only cash expense included in the
acquisition-related expense, will be paid over that same period. In addition,
the Company has provided approximately $39,000,000 for the write-down of certain
assets to net realizable value as the result of planned facility consolidations,
and approximately $7,700,000 for the write-off of certain capitalized
development projects. The consolidations are applicable in selected markets
where the Company's services overlap with those of the acquired facilities. The
costs of development projects in certain target markets that were previously
capitalized were written off due to the acquisition of NME facilities in or near
those markets. For further discussion, see Note 10 of "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements".
Income before minority interests and income taxes for 1993 was
$22,791,000, compared to $54,379,000 for 1992. The provision for income taxes
for 1993 was $9,009,000, compared to $18,383,000 for 1992, resulting in
effective tax rates of 39.9% for 1993 and 34.7% for 1992. Net income for 1993
was $13,592,000.
Twelve-Month Periods Ended December 31, 1993 and 1994
The Company operated 238 outpatient rehabilitation locations (excluding
outpatient satellites of inpatient facilities) at December 31, 1994, compared to
171 outpatient rehabilitation locations at December 31, 1993. In addition, the
Company operated 66 inpatient facilities and five medical centers at December
31, 1994, compared to 39 inpatient facilities and four medical centers at
December 31, 1993.
The Company's operations generated revenues of $1,127,441,000 in 1994,
an increase of $552,095,000, or 96.0%, as compared to 1993 revenues. Same store
revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994 were $660,973,000, an
increase of $85,627,000, or 14.9%, as compared to the same period in 1993. New
store revenues for 1994 were $466,468,000. New store revenues reflect (1) the 28
inpatient rehabilitation facilities and 45 associated outpatient rehabilitation
locations associated with the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition, (2) the
acquisition of a specialty medial center in Dallas, Texas, (3) the opening of
three new inpatient rehabilitation facilities, (4) the acquisition of outpatient
locations in 28 new markets, (5) the acquisition of a contract therapist
provider, and (6) the acquisition of a diagnostic imaging company. See Note 10
of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements". The increase in revenues is
primarily attributable to the addition of these operations and increases in
patient volume. Revenues generated from patients under Medicare and Medicaid
plans respectively accounted for 41.0% and 3.2% of total revenues for 1994,
compared to 30.6% and 1.0% of total revenues for 1993. Revenues from any other
single third-party payor were not significant in relation to the Company's total
revenues. The increase in Medicare revenues is primarily attributable to the NME
Selected Hospitals Acquisition, since the acquired facilities had a greater
proportion of Medicare patients than the Company's historical experience in its
existing facilities. During 1994, same store outpatient visits and inpatient
days increased 21.8% and 23.0%, respectively. Revenue per outpatient visit and
revenue per inpatient day for the same store operations decreased by 7.8% and
8.4%, respectively. These decreases were offset by increased volume from managed
care and national accounts and by control of expenses.
Operating expenses, at the operating unit level, were $835,888,000, or
74.1% of revenues, for 1994, compared to 72.8% of revenues for 1993. This change
was due to the decrease in revenue per visit and revenue per inpatient day
described above. Same store operating expenses for 1994 were $496,870,000, or
75.2% of related revenues. New store operating expenses were $339,018,000, or
72.7% of related revenues. Corporate general and administrative expenses
increased from $20,018,000 in 1993 to $37,139,000 in 1994. As a percentage of
revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses decreased from 3.5% in
1993 to 3.3% in 1994. Total operating expenses were $873,027,000, or 77.4% of
revenues, for 1994, compared to $438,999,000, or 76.3% of revenues, for 1993.
The provision for doubtful accounts was $20,583,000, or 1.8% of revenues, for
1994, compared to $13,875,000, or 2.4% of revenues, for 1993.
4
Depreciation and amortization expense was $75,588,000 for 1994,
compared to $39,376,000 for 1993. The increase represents the investment in
additional assets by the Company. Interest expense increased to $57,255,000 in
1994, compared to $14,261,000 for 1993, primarily because of the increased
borrowings during the year under the Company's revolving line of credit, the
issuance of $250,000,000 principal amount of 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2001 and the issuance of $115,000,000 principal amount of 5% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2001. See Note 7 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements". For 1994, interest income was $4,224,000 compared to $3,698,000 for
1993. The increase in interest income is primarily attributable to the increase
in the Company's cash position during the year.
During 1994, the Company began implementation of the plan of
consolidation related to the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition. The $3,000,000
accrual for costs related to employee separations and relocations was reduced by
approximately $758,000. A total of 208 employees were affected during 1994. In
addition, assets with a net book value $17,911,000 were written off against the
$39,000,000 provided for the plan of consolidation. Finally, the Company wrote
off all of the $7,700,000 in capitalized development projects. The Company will
complete the plan of consolidation during 1995. It is management's opinion that
the remaining accrual of $23,669,000 is adequate to complete the plan. See Note
10 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
As a result of the ReLife Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1994,
the Company has recognized $2,949,000 in ReLife merger expenses during 1994.
This amount represents costs and expenses incurred or accrued in connection with
completing the ReLife Acquisition. See Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements".
During 1994, the Company recognized a $10,500,000 loss on impairment of
assets. This amount relates to the termination of a ReLife management contract
and a permanently damaged ReLife facility. The Company determined not to attempt
to reopen such damaged facility because, under its existing licensure as a
transitional living facility, the facility could not be operated on a basis
which would allow it to cover the associated lease costs, and the Company did
not believe it likely that any change in licensure could be obtained. This
facility is leased under an operating lease as described in Note 12 through the
year 2001. An impairment accrual has been established based on the projected
undiscounted net cash flows related to this non-operating facility for the
remainder of the lease term. The accrual totals $5,900,000 and consists of
$4,700,000 in lease payments and $1,200,000 in fixed costs and operating
expenses, including property taxes, maintenance, security and other related
costs. Also during 1994, the Company recognized a $4,500,000 loss on abandonment
of a ReLife computer project. See Note 16 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements".
Income before minority interests and income taxes for 1994 was
$87,263,000, compared to $22,791,000 for 1993. Minority interests reduced income
before income taxes by $203,000, compared to $190,000 for 1993. The provision
for income taxes for 1994 was $33,835,000, compared to $9,009,000 for 1993,
resulting in effective tax rate of 38.9% for 1994 and 39.9% for 1993. Net income
for 1994 was $53,225,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1994, the Company had working capital of $218,681,000,
including cash and marketable securities of $82,577,000. Working capital at
December 31, 1993 was $198,352,000, including cash and marketable securities of
$77,299,000. For 1994, cash provided by operations was $132,050,000, compared to
$59,787,000 for 1993. The Company used $234,816,000 for investing activities
during 1994, compared to $570,916,000 for 1993. Additions to property, plant and
equipment and acquisitions accounted for $123,575,000 and $85,967,000,
respectively, during 1994. Those same investing activities accounted for
$113,161,000 and $428,307,000, respectively, in 1993. Financing activities
provided $100,384,000 and $493,095,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net
borrowing proceeds (borrowings less principal reductions) for 1994 and 1993 were
$87,603,000 and $494,979,000, respectively.
Net Accounts receivable were $222,720,000 at December 31, 1994,
compared to $165,586,000 at December 31, 1993. The number of days of average
revenues in average receivables was 69.9 at December 31, 1994, compared to 69.5
at December 31, 1993 (excluding the receivables acquired from NME at December
31, 1993). The concentration of net accounts receivable from patients,
third-party payors, insurance companies and others at December 31, 1994 is
consistent with the related concentration of revenues for the period then ended.
5
Beginning December 1, 1993, the Company became self-insured for
professional liability and comprehensive general liability. The Company
purchased coverage for all claims incurred prior to December 1, 1993.
Additionally, the Company purchased underlying insurance which will cover all
claims once established limits have been exceeded. The funding requirements for
the self-insurance plan will be based on an independent actuarial determination.
The funding requirements are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's liquidity and capital positions.
The Company has a $550,000,000 revolving line of credit with
NationsBank of North Carolina and 15 other participating banks. Interest is paid
quarterly based on LIBOR plus a predetermined margin, prime, or competitively
bid rates from the participating banks. This credit facility revolves until June
1, 1997, at which time the outstanding principal balance converts to a term loan
to be repaid in 15 quarterly payments beginning June 30, 1997. The Company
provided a negative pledge on all assets and granted the banks a first priority
security interest in all shares of stock of its subsidiaries and rights and
interests in its controlled partnerships. The effective interest rate on the
average outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit was 5.94% for the
year ended December 31, 1994, compared to the average prime rate of 7.15% during
the same period. At December 31, 1994, the Company had drawn $510,000,000 under
its revolving line of credit. The Company has received a fully-underwritten
commitment to amend and restate the credit agreement, which will increase the
size of the facility to $1,000,000,000.
The Company intends to pursue the acquisition or development of
additional healthcare operations, including comprehensive outpatient
rehabilitation facilities, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and companies
engaged in the provision of rehabilitation-related services, and to expand
certain of its existing facilities. While it is not possible to estimate
precisely the amounts which will actually be expended in the foregoing areas,
the Company anticipates that over the next twelve months it will spend
approximately $50,000,000 for the acquisition and/or development of new
comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities and approximately $70,000,000
for inpatient facility projects and the construction and equipping of additions
to existing inpatient facilities.
As of January 22, 1995, the Company entered into an Amended and
Restated Plan and Agreement of Merger with Surgical Health Corporation ("SHC"),
pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire SHC through a
stock-for-stock merger to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. SHC
operates 36 outpatient surgery centers. Under the terms of the Plan and
Agreement of Merger, the Company will issue shares of its Common Stock to all
holders of SHC's Common Stock pursuant to an exchange ratio calculated to
provide $4.60 in value of HEALTHSOUTH Common Stock for each share of SHC's
capital stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The transaction
is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including the receipt of
all required regulatory approvals and the termination or expiration of the
waiting period under the HSR Act. The Company currently expects the transaction
to be consummated during the second quarter of 1995 and is working toward the
satisfaction of all such conditions and the obtaining of all regulatory
approvals. Management expects the SHC acquisition to positively affect the
Company's liquidity, capital resources and results of operations as a result of
improved cash flow and leverage.
In addition, on February 3, 1995, the Company entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement with NovaCare, Inc. and NC Resources, Inc., pursuant to which
the Company has agreed to acquire the operations of NovaCare, Inc.'s
rehabilitation hospital division. NC Resources, Inc. is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NovaCare, Inc. NC Resources, Inc. in turn owns all of the capital
stock of Rehab Systems Company ("RSC"), the holding company for the acquired
division. In connection with that transaction, the Company will pay a cash
purchase price of $215,000,000, and will assume liabilities of approximately
$20,000,000. The transaction is subject to various conditions, including the
expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The Company
expects the transaction to be consummated early in the second quarter of 1995.
Although the Company is continually considering and evaluating
acquisitions and opportunities for future growth, the Company has not entered
into any agreements with respect to material future acquisitions other than the
transactions with SHC and NovaCare. The Company believes that existing cash,
cash flow from operations, and borrowings under the revolving line of credit, as
increased pursuant to the new commitment, will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's estimated cash requirements for the next twelve months and thereafter.
Inflation in recent years has not had a significant effect on the
Company's business, and is not expected to adversely affect the Company in the
future unless it increases significantly.

of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14 (a).
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

HEALTHSOUTH Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1994
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by HEALTHSOUTH Corporation
(formerly HEALTHSOUTH Rehabilitation Corporation) and its subsidiaries (the
Company) are presented as an integral part of the consolidated financial
statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation (HEALTHSOUTH) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as its
limited partnerships (see Note 9). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
HEALTHSOUTH Corporation is engaged in the business of providing comprehensive
rehabilitative and clinical healthcare services on an inpatient and outpatient
basis.
Marketable Securities
Marketable equity securities and debt securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value,
with the unrealized gains and losses, if material, reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity, net of tax. The adjusted cost of the specific
security sold method is used to compute gain or loss on the sale of securities.
Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are
included in investment income. Marketable equity securities and debt securities
of the Company have maturities of less than one year.
Accounts Receivable and Third-Party Reimbursement Activities
Receivables from patients, insurance companies and third-party contractual
insured accounts (Medicare and Medicaid) are based on payment agreements which
generally result in the Company collecting an amount different from the
established rates. Final determination of the settlement is subject to review by
appropriate authorities. Adequate allowances are provided for doubtful accounts
and contractual adjustments. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the
allowance for doubtful accounts after adequate collection efforts are made. Net
accounts receivable include only those amounts estimated by management to be
collectible.
16
HEALTHSOUTH Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The concentration of net accounts receivable from third-party contractual payors
and others, as a percentage of total net accounts receivable, was as follows:
December 31
-------------------------------
1993 1994
-------------------------------
Medicare 33% 36%
Medicaid 4% 6%
Other 63% 58%
-------------------------------
100% 100%
-------------------------------
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific
identification method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Upon sale or retirement of
property, plant or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
eliminated from the respective account and the resulting gain or loss is
included in the results of operations.
Interest cost incurred during the construction of a facility is capitalized. The
Company incurred interest of $13,274,000, $16,645,000 and $59,014,000 of which
$1,979,000, $2,384,000 and $1,759,000 was capitalized during 1992, 1993 and
1994, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, as
appropriate. The estimated useful life of buildings is 30-40 years and the
general range of useful lives for leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures
and equipment is 10-15 years.
Intangible Assets
Cost in excess of net asset value of purchased facilities is amortized over 20
to 40 years using the straight-line method. Organization and start-up costs
incurred prior to opening a new facility and partnership formation costs are
deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 36 months.
Organization, partnership formation and start-up costs for a project that is
subsequently abandoned are charged to operations in that period. Debt issue
costs are amortized over the term of the debt. Noncompete agreements are
amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreements.
Minority Interests
The equity of minority investors in limited partnerships of the Company is
reported on the balance sheet as minority interests. Minority interests reported
in the income statement reflect the respective shares of income or loss of the
limited partnerships attributable to the minority investors, the effect of which
is removed from the results of operations of the Company.
Revenues
Revenues include net patient service revenues and other operating revenues. Net
patient service revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts
from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered, including
estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with
third-party payors.
Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
Income per common and common equivalent share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during
the periods. Common equivalent shares include dilutive employees' stock options,
less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds
using the average market price of the Company's common stock. Fully diluted
earnings per share (based on 40,299,000 shares in 1994) assumes conversion of
the 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2001 (see Note 7).
17
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment of Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and identifiable
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment losses when certain impairment
indicators exist. If an impairment exists, the related asset is adjusted to the
lower of book value or estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the use and
eventual disposal of the asset.
With respect to the carrying value of the excess of cost over net asset value of
purchased facilities and other intangible assets, the Company determines on a
quarterly basis whether an impairment event has occurred by considering factors
such as: the market value of the asset; a significant adverse change in legal
factors or in the business climate; adverse action by a regulator; a history of
operating or cash flow losses or a projection of continuing losses associated
with an operating entity. The carrying value of net asset value of purchased
facilities and other intangible assets will be evaluated if the facts and
circumstances suggest that it has been impaired. If this evaluation indicates
that the value of the asset will not be recoverable, as determined based on the
undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization
period, the Company's carrying value of the asset will be reduced by the
estimated shortfall of cash flows.
2. Merger
Effective December 29, 1994, the Company merged with ReLife, Inc. (ReLife) and
in connection therewith issued 5,512,645 shares of its Common Stock for all of
ReLife's outstanding common stock. ReLife provides a system of rehabilitation
services and operates 31 inpatient facilities with an aggregate of approximately
1,100 licensed beds, including nine free-standing rehabilitation hospitals, nine
acute rehabilitation units, five sub-acute rehabilitation units, seven
transitional living units and one residential facility and provides outpatient
rehabilitation services at twelve outpatient centers.
The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the
Company's financial statements have been restated to include the results of
ReLife for all periods presented. Prior to the merger, ReLife reported on a
fiscal year ending on September 30. The accompanying financial statements are
based on a combination of the Company's results for its December 31 fiscal year
and ReLife's results for its September 30 fiscal year for all periods presented.
Costs and expenses of $2.9 million incurred by HEALTHSOUTH in connection with
the merger have been recorded in operations in 1994 and reported as ReLife
merger expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Combined and separate results of the Company and ReLife are as follows (in
thousands):
HEALTHSOUTH ReLife Combined
------------------------------------------------------------
Year ended December 31, 1992
Revenues $ 406,968 $ 57,320 $ 464,288
Net income 29,738 4,856 34,594
Year ended December 31, 1993

Revenues 1,008,567 118,874 1,127,441
Net income (loss) 54,047 (822) 53,225
18
There were no transactions between the Company and ReLife prior to the merger.
The effects of conforming the accounting policies of the two companies are not
material.
3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Other Marketable Securities
Cash, cash equivalents and other marketable securities consisted of the
following:

--------------------------
For purposes of the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows,
marketable securities purchased with an original maturity of ninety days or less
are considered cash equivalents.
4. Other Assets
Other assets consisted of the following:
December 31
--------------------------
1993 1994
--------------------------
(In thousands)
Notes and accounts receivable $ 3,280 $ 15,104
Investment in Caretenders Health Corp. 7,382 7,370
Investments in other unconsolidated subsidiaries 3,991 6,007
Real estate investments 3,023 10,022
Escrow funds 394 -
Other 3,880 2,189
--------------------------
$ 21,950 $ 40,692
--------------------------
19
The Company has a 24% ownership interest in Caretenders Health Corp.
(Caretenders). Accordingly, the Company's investment is being accounted for
using the equity method of accounting. The investment was initially valued at
$7,250,000. The Company's equity in earnings of Caretenders for the years ended
December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994 was not material to the Company's results of
operations.
It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company's various
investments in other unconsolidated subsidiaries (involved in operations similar
to those of the Company) because of the lack of a quoted market price and the
inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. The carrying
amount at December 31, 1994 represents the original cost of the investments,
which management believes is not impaired.
5. Property, Plant and Equipment

--------------------------------
The fair value of total long-term debt approximates book value at December 31,
1994 and 1993. The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are estimated
using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
During 1994, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with NationsBank of
North Carolina, N.A. and other participating banks (the 1994 Credit Agreement)
which consists of a $550,000,000 revolving facility and term loan. The 1994
Credit Agreement replaced a previous $390,000,000 Credit Agreement with
NationsBank. Interest is paid quarterly based on LIBOR rates plus a
predetermined margin, a base rate, or competitively bid rates from the
participating banks. The Company is required to pay a fee on the unused portion
of the 1994 revolving credit facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.5%, depending on
certain defined ratios. The principal amount is payable in 15 equal quarterly
installments beginning on June 30, 1997. The Company has provided a negative
pledge of all its assets and has granted a first priority security interest in
and lien on all shares of stock of its subsidiaries and rights and interests in
its partnerships. At December 31, 1994, the effective interest rate associated
with the 1994 Credit Agreement was approximately 6.75%.
The amount shown as Due to National Medical Enterprises, Inc. at December 31,
1993 was subsequently repaid from proceeds of other notes and bonds.
On March 24, 1994, the Company issued $250,000,000 principal amount of 9.5%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001 (the Notes). Interest is payable on April 1
and October 1. The Notes are senior subordinated obligations of the Company and
as such will be subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of
the Company, and also will be effectively subordinated to all existing and
future liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries and partnerships. The Notes
rank senior to all subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including the 5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2001 described below. The Notes mature
on April 1, 2001.
Also on March 24, 1994, the Company issued $100,000,000 principal amount of 5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2001 (the Convertible Debentures). An
additional $15,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Debentures was issued in
April 1994 to cover underwriters' over allotments. Interest is payable on April
1 and October 1. The Convertible Debentures are convertible into Common Stock of
the Company at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $37.625 per
share, subject to adjustment in the occurrence of certain events.
21
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and Convertible Debentures were
used by the Company to pay down indebtedness outstanding under its other
existing credit facilities.
Principal maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

8. Stock Options
The Company has various stockholder-approved stock option plans which provide
for the grant of options to Directors, officers and other key employees to
purchase common stock at 100% of the fair market value as of the date of grant.
The Board of Directors administers the stock option plans. Options may be
granted as incentive stock options or as non-qualified stock options. Incentive
stock options vest 25% annually, commencing upon completion of one year of
employment subsequent to the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options
generally are not subject to any vesting provisions. The options expire at dates
ranging from five to ten years from the date of grant.
The following table summarizes activity in the stock option plans:

9. Limited Partnerships
HEALTHSOUTH operates a number of rehabilitation centers as limited partnerships.
HEALTHSOUTH serves as the general partner and operates the partnerships as
comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities or inpatient rehabilitation
facilities. These limited partnerships are included in the consolidated
financial statements (as more fully described in Note 1 under "Minority
Interests"). The limited partners share in the profit or loss of the
partnerships based on their respective ownership percentage (ranging from 1% to
50% at December 31, 1994) during their ownership period.
Beginning in 1992, due to federal and state regulatory requirements, the Company
began the process of buying back the partnership interests of its physician
limited partners. The buyback prices for the interests were in general based on
a predetermined multiple of projected cash flows of the partnerships. The
excess of the buyback price over the book value of the limited partners' capital
amounts was charged to the Company's retained earnings.
10. Acquisitions
At various dates during 1994, the Company acquired 53 separate outpatient
operations located throughout the United States. The combined purchase price of
these acquired outpatient operations was approximately $53,947,000. The Company
also acquired a specialty medical center in Dallas, Texas, a contract therapist
provider and a diagnostic imaging company. The combined purchase price of these
three operations was approximately $25,861,000. The form of consideration
comprising the total purchase prices of $79,808,000 was approximately
$68,359,000 in cash, $10,916,000 in notes payable and approximately 19,000
shares of Common Stock valued at $533,000. In connection with the acquisition of
the contract therapist provider, there is additional contingent consideration
payable of up to $9,000,000 if the acquired company achieves certain levels of
future earnings. Such contingency payments will be paid to the former owners
each fiscal year in which the acquired company's annual pretax income exceeds a
certain threshold. The contingent payments will cease upon the earlier of the
payment of the maximum amount of contingent payments allowed or ten years. The
Company accrues, as an operating expense, for this contingency in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies." As of December 31, 1994, the Company has accrued $99,000 in
contingent consideration.
In connection with these transactions, the Company entered into non-compete
agreements with former owners totaling $10,814,000. In general these non-compete
agreements are payable in monthly or quarterly installments over periods ranging
from five to ten years.
The fair value of the total net assets relating to the 1994 acquisitions
described above was approximately $11,087,000. The total cost for 1994
acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by approximately
$68,721,000. The Company evaluated each acquisition, independently, to determine
the appropriate amortization period for the cost in excess of net asset value of
purchased facilities. Each evaluation included an analysis of historic and
projected financial performance, evaluation of the estimated useful life of
buildings and fixed assets acquired, the indefinite life of Cetificates of Need
and licenses acquired, the competition within local markets, lease terms where
applicable, and the legal term of partnerships where applicable. Based on these
evaluations, the Company determined that the cost in excess of net asset value
of purchased facilities relating to the 1994 acquisitions should be amortized
over periods ranging from twenty-five to forty years on a straight line basis.
No other identifiable intangible assets were recorded in the acquisitions
described above.
All of the 1994 acquisitions described above were accounted for as purchases
and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses (not
material individually or in the aggregate) are included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
Effective December 31, 1993, the Company completed an acquisition from National
Medical Enterprises, Inc. (NME) of 28 inpatient rehabilitation facilities and 45
outpatient rehabilitation centers, which constituted substantially all of NME's
rehabilitation services division (the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition). The
purchase price was approximately $296,661,000 cash, plus net working capital of
$64,503,000, subject to certain adjustments, the assumption of approximately
$16,313,000 of current liabilities and the assumption of approximately
$17,111,000 in long-term debt.
The pro forma effect of this acquisition on 1993 operations and net income per
common and common equivalent share is reflected in the pro forma summary in Note
17.
23
As a result of the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition, HEALTHSOUTH recognized an
expense of approximately $49,742,000 during the year ended December 31, 1993.
This expense represents management's estimate of the cost to consolidate
operations of thirteen existing HEALTHSOUTH facilities (three inpatient
facilities and ten outpatient facilities) into the operations of certain
facilities acquired from NME. This plan was formulated by HEALTHSOUTH management
in order to more efficiently provide services in markets where multiple
locations now exist as a result of the acquisition. The plan of consolidation
calls for the affected operations to be merged into the operations of the
acquired facilities over a period of twelve to twenty-four months from the date
of the NME Selected Hospitals Acquisition. Due to the single-use nature of these
properties, the consolidation plan does not provide for the sale of these
facilities.
The total expense of $49,742,000 consists of several components. First,
approximately $39,000,000 relates to the writedown of the assets of the affected
HEALTHSOUTH facilities to their estimated net realizable value. Of this
$39,000,000, approximately $31,500,000 relates to the assets of the three
inpatient facilities and approximately $7,500,000 relates to the assets of the
ten outpatient facilities. The $39,000,000 is broken down into the following
asset categories (net of any related accumulated depreciation or amortization):
Inpatient Outpatient
Facilities Facilities Total
----------------------------------------------------------
(In thousands)
Land $ 2,898 $ - $ 2,898
Buildings 16,168 - 16,168
Equipment 4,326 2,920 7,246
Intangible assets 6,111 3,455 9,566
Other assets 1,997 1,125 3,122
----------------------------------------------------------
$ 31,500 $ 7,500 $ 39,000
----------------------------------------------------------
During the year ended December 31, 1994, management discontinued operations in
two of the inpatient facilities and three of the outpatient facilities affected
by the plan and merged them into the operations of the acquired facilities.
Accordingly, assets with a net book value of approximately $17,911,000 were
written off in 1994 against the reserves established at December 31, 1993. The
two inpatient facilities and three outpatient facilities affected by the plan in
1994 had revenues of approximately $11,441,000, $8,640,000 and $9,125,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. These same
facilities had net operating income (loss) before income taxes of $(489,000),
$(844,000) and $67,000 for the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
respectively. Operations at the remaining inpatient facility and the remaining
seven outpatient facilities identified in the plan will be discontinued during
1995.
Second, $7,700,000 relates to the write-off of certain capitalized development
projects. These projects relate to planned facilities that, if completed, would
be in direct competition with certain of the acquired NME facilities. These
development projects were written off in 1994 against the reserves established
at December 31, 1993.
Finally, approximately $3,000,000 was accrued for costs of employee separations,
relocations and other direct costs related to the planned consolidation of the
affected operations. During the second quarter of 1994, management revised its
estimate of the cost of the employee separations and relocations. The revised
estimate calls for approximately 150 employees to be affected by separations and
approximately 400 to be affected by relocations. Separation benefits under the
revised plan range from one month's to one year's compensation and total
approximately $2,188,000. Relocation benefits are estimated to be $2,000 per
employee and total $800,000. An additional $350,000 has been provided for
additional direct administrative costs associated with the implementation of the
plan, including outplacement services, travel and legal fees. Accordingly, the
total revised estimated cost of employee separations and relocations is
$3,338,000. The difference between the initial estimate and the revised estimate
was treated as a change in accounting estimate and charged to operations in the
second quarter of 1994.
During the year ended 1994, a total of 208 employees were affected by
terminations and relocations at a cost of approximately $758,000. This cost is
the only cash expense included in the acquisition-related expense.
It is management's opinion that remaining accrual at December 31, 1994 of
$23,669,000 is adequate to complete the plan of consolidation of the affected
operations.
24
Also at various dates during 1993, the Company acquired 27 separate outpatient
operations located throughout the United States. The total consideration paid
for these acquired outpatient operations was approximately $23,943,000,
consisting of $21,634,000 in cash and $2,309,000 in notes payable. The fair
value of the net assets acquired was approximately $5,196,000. The total cost of
the 1993 outpatient acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the net assets
acquired by approximately $18,747,000. Based on the evaluation of each
acquisition, utilizing the criteria described above, the Company determined that
the cost in excess of net asset value of purchased facilities relating to the
1993 acquisitions should be amortized over a forty-year period on a
straight line basis. No other identifiable intangible assets were recorded in
the acquisitions described above.
Also during 1993, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Rebound, Inc.
(Rebound) for net consideration of approximately $14,000,000 in cash. Pebound
operates 293 beds in thirteen facilities. The purchase price exceeded the fair
value of the net assets acquired by approximately $11,200,000, which was
allocated to excess of cost over net asset value of purchased facilities.
Effective February 1, 1992, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and/or stock of Dr. John T. Macdonald Health Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(collectively, JTM Health Systems). JTM Health Systems includes two general
acute-care hospitals and other healthcare-related entities located in the Miami,
Florida metropolitan area. The total purchase price paid was approximately
$16,893,000 in cash.
Also in 1992 the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Renaissance America, Inc.
(Renaissance) for net consideration of approximately $5,996,000 consisting of
$649,000 cash and $5,347,000 in the Company's Common Stock (214,885 shares).
Also at various dates during 1992, the Company acquired 28 separate outpatient
operations located throughout the United States. The combined purchase price of
these acquired outpatient operations was approximately $25,964,000.
The fair value of the net assets acquired in 1992 was approximately $21,956,000.
The total cost of the 1992 acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the assets
acquired by approximately $26,897,000, which is being amortized over a forty-
year period on a straight-line basis.
All of the 1993 and 1992 acquisitions described above were accounted for as
purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses
are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their
respective dates of acquisition.
11. Income Taxes
HEALTHSOUTH and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
The limited partnerships file separate income tax returns. HEALTHSOUTH's
allocable portion of each partnership's income or loss is included in the
taxable income of the Company. The remaining income or loss of each partnership
is allocated to the limited partners.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes to the liability method required by Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The cumulative
effect of adopting Statement No. 109 was not material. Previously, the Company
had used the liability method as prescribed by FASB Statement No. 96.
25
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the
Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 1993 are as

12. Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 1994, anticipated capital expenditures for the next twelve
months approximate $120,000,000. This amount includes expenditures for the
construction and equipping of additions to existing facilities, the construction
of two inpatient rehabilitation facilities for which regulatory approval is
being obtained and the acquisition or development of comprehensive outpatient
rehabilitation facilities.
28
12. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Beginning December 1, 1993, the Company became self-insured for professional
liability and comprehensive general liability. The Company purchased coverage
for all claims incurred prior to December 1, 1993. In addition, the Company
purchased underlying insurance which would cover all claims once established
limits have been exceeded. It is the opinion of management that at December 31,
1994 the Company has adequate reserves to cover losses on asserted and
unasserted claims.
Operating leases
Operating leases generally consist of short-term lease agreements for buildings
where facilities are located. These leases generally have 5-year terms, with one
or more renewal options, with terms to be negotiated at the time of renewal.
Total rental expense for all operating leases was $15,902,000, $23,417,000 and
$58,529,000 for the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under all operating
leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one
year:

1999 33,618
After 1999 96,667
--------------
Total minimum payments required $ 307,888
--------------
13. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a 401(k) savings plan which matches 15% of the first 4% of
earnings that an employee contributes. All contributions are in the form of
cash. All employees who have completed one year of service with a minimum of
1,000 hours worked are eligible to participate in the plan. Company
contributions are gradually vested over a seven-year service period.
Contributions to the plan by the Company were approximately $521,000, $490,000
and $1,094,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
In 1991, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for the
purpose of providing substantially all employees of the Company the opportunity
to save for their retirement and acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.
The ESOP currently owns approximately 830,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, which were purchased with funds borrowed from the Company, $10,000,000 in
1991 (the 1991 ESOP Loan) and $10,000,000 in 1992 (the 1992 ESOP Loan). At
December 31, 1994, the combined ESOP Loans had a balance of $17,477,000. The
1991 ESOP Loan, which bears an interest rate of 10%, is payable in annual
installments covering interest and principal over a ten-year period beginning in
1992. The 1992 ESOP Loan, which bears an interest rate of 8.5%, is payable in
annual installments covering interest and principal over a ten-year period
beginning in 1993. Company contributions to the ESOP began in 1992 and shall at
least equal the amount required to make all ESOP Loan amortization payments for
each plan year. The Company recognizes compensation expense based on the shares
allocated method. The total compensation expense related to the ESOP recognized
by the Company was $1,701,000, $3,198,000 and $3,673,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994,
respectively. Interest incurred on the ESOP Loans was approximately $964,000,
$1,743,000 and $1,608,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Approximately
213,000 shares owned by the ESOP have been allocated to participants at December
31, 1994.
During 1993 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, "Employers Accounting for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans." Among other provisions, SOP 93-6 requires that compensation
expense relating to employee stock ownership plans be measured based on the fair
market value of the shares when allocated to the employees. The provisions of
SOP 93-6 apply only to leveraged ESOPs formed after December 31, 1992, or shares
newly acquired by an existing leveraged ESOP after December 31, 1992. Because
all shares owned by the Company's ESOP were acquired prior to December 31, 1992,
the Company's accounting policies for the shares currently owned by the ESOP are
not affected by SOP 93-6.
29
14. Terminated Merger
On January 2, 1992, the Company and Continental Medical System, Inc. (CMS)
jointly announced an agreement to combine their business operations as provided
in an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Plan). On May 6, 1992, the
Company and CMS jointly announced the termination of the Plan. Accordingly, all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Plan were charged to
operations in 1992 and reported as terminated merger expense in the accompanying
statements of income.
15. Sale of Assets
During the second quarter of 1994, the Company consummated the sale of selected
properties to Capstone Capital Corporation (Capstone), a real estate investment
trust. These properties include six ancillary hospital facilities, three
outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and one research facility. The net
proceeds to the Company as a result of this transaction were approximately
$49,025,000. The net book value of the properties was approximately $41,335,000.
Because the Company is leasing back substantially all of the properties from
Capstone, payments which aggregate $5.7 million annually, the resulting gain on
sale of approximately $7,690,000 has been recorded on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as deferred revenue and will be amortized into income
over the initial lease terms of the properties. The Company is accounting for
each of the new leases as an operating lease with an initial lease term of 15
years. The Company and certain Company officers own approximately 3.9% of the
outstanding common stock of Capstone.
16. Impairment of Long-Term Assets
During 1994, certain events have occurred impairing the value of specific
long-term assets of ReLife (see Note 2). A hospital in Missouri with a distinct
part unit which ReLife was managing was purchased in 1994 by an acute care
provider which terminated the contract with ReLife. Remaining goodwill of
$1,700,000 and costs allocated to the management contract of $1,300,000 were
written off as there is no value remaining for the terminated contract.
A ReLife facility in central Florida incurred tornado damage and has not been
operating since September 1993. During 1994, management of ReLife has determined
that it is probable that this facility will not reopen. Start-up costs of
$1,600,000 were written off. This facility is leased under an operating lease as
described in Note 12 through the year 2001. An impairment accrual has been
established based on the projected undiscounted net cash flows related to this
non-operating facility for the remainder of the lease term. The accrual totals
$5,900,000 and consists of $4,700,000 in lease payments and $1,200,000 in fixed
costs and operating expenses, including property taxes, maintenance, security
and other related costs. The current portion of the accrual approximates
$600,000 and is included with accrued interest payable and other liabilities in
the accompanying December 31, 1994 balance sheet. The remaining long-term
portion of the accrual is included with other long-term liabilities in the
accompanying December 31, 1994 balance sheet.
During 1994, ReLife entered into a contract for a new information system. During
the period ended September 30, 1994, ReLife's expenditures related to this
contract totalled approximately $4,363,000. The system was not operational
during this period, thus those expenditures are considered non-recurring. The
Company will retain certain equipment, with an approximate cost of $750,000,
which was included in the expenditures noted above. The remainder of the
expenditures, $3,613,000, is included in the loss on abandonment of the computer
project. The Company has also established a reserve of approximately $887,000
for settlement of the contract. The contract contains a provision for
cancellation by ReLife, without cause, upon at least 180 days' prior written
notice. The application of this termination provision could result in a
settlement of up to $6,500,000. The Company is currently in negotiations to
settle the contract and believes that it is probable that the settlement will be
for an amount approximately equal to the reserve established.
The above amounts are shown as operating expenses in the consolidated statement
of income.

17. Subsequent Events
On January 24, 1995, the Company signed an agreement to merge with Surgical
Health Corporation (SHC). SHC operates 36 outpatient surgery centers in eleven
states. Under the terms of the agreement, all shares of common and preferred
stock of SHC will be exchanged for shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant
to an exchange ratio that will yield an aggregate value of approximately
$155,000,000 to SHC shareholders. The transaction will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests and is subject to certain regulatory and governmental
reviews, and to approval by the shareholders of both companies. The transaction
is expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 1995. The effects of
conforming the accounting policies of the two companies is not expected to be
material.
The following table summarizes the unaudited consolidated pro forma results of
operations, assuming the SHC acquisition described above had occurred at the
beginning of each of the following periods. This pro forma summary does not
necessarily reflect the results of operations as they would have been had the
Company and the acquired entities constituted a single entity during such
periods. The 1993 amounts reflect the pro forma effect of the NME Selected
Hospital Acquisition (see Note 10).

On February 3, 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase
the operations of the rehabilitation hospital division of NovaCare, Inc.,
consisting of 11 rehabilitation hospitals in seven states, 12 other facilities
and certificates of need to build two additional facilities. The purchase price
will be approximately $215,000,000 in cash and the assumption of $20,000,000 in
liabilities for a total consideration of $235,000,000. The transaction is
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1995.
Subsequent to December 31, 1994, the Company received a fully underwritten
commitment to amend and restate the 1994 Credit Agreement (see Note 7) which
will increase the size of the facility to $1 billion.
