A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD NOR MAY OFFERS TO BUY BE ACCEPTED PRIOR TO THE TIME THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT BECOMES EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY SUCH STATE. SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 1, 1994 PROSPECTUS $375,000,000 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION [LOGO] OFFER TO EXCHANGE ITS 11 1/4% SERIES A SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2004 FOR ANY AND ALL OF ITS OUTSTANDING 11 1/4% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2004 THE EXCHANGE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON , 1994, UNLESS EXTENDED. Charter Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Charter" or the "Company"), hereby offers (the "Exchange Offer"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Prospectus (the "Prospectus") and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), to exchange $1,000 principal amount of its 11 1/4% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "New Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, for each $1,000 principal amount of its outstanding 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Old Notes"), which have not been registered under the Securities Act. The aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes currently outstanding is $375,000,000. The form and terms of the New Notes are the same as the form and terms of the Old Notes except that (i) the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting their transfer, (ii) holders of New Notes will not be entitled to certain rights under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined), which rights will terminate when the Exchange Offer is consummated, and (iii) the New Notes have been given a series designation to distinguish them from the Old Notes. The New Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes (which they will replace) and will be issued under and be entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the Old Notes dated as of May 2, 1994 (the "Indenture"). The Old Notes and the New Notes are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Notes." See "The Exchange Offer" and "Description of the New Notes." The Company will accept for exchange and exchange any and all Old Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 1994, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the "Expiration Date"). Tenders of Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date. The Exchange Offer is subject to certain customary conditions. See "The Exchange Offer." Old Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000. The Old Notes were sold by the Company on May 2, 1994, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The initial purchasers of the Old Notes subsequently resold the Old Notes to "qualified institutional buyers" in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Old Notes may not be reoffered, resold or otherwise transferred unless so registered or unless an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. See "The Exchange Offer -- Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer." The New Notes are being offered for exchange hereby to satisfy certain obligations of the Company under the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 22, 1994, among the Company and the initial purchasers of the Old Notes (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Based on existing interpretations of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to similar transactions, the Company believes that New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder which is an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act ), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders are not engaged in, have no arrangement with any person to participate in, and do not intend to engage in any public distribution of the New Notes. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a resale prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal which accompanies this Prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a resale prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit to be acting in the capacity of an "underwriter" (within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act). This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the date on which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is first declared effective, it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution." Holders of Old Notes whose Old Notes are not tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer will continue to hold such Old Notes and will be entitled to all the rights and preferences and will be subject to the limitations applicable thereto under the Indenture, and with respect to transfer, under the Securities Act. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Exchange Offer and will pay all the expenses incurred by it incident to the Exchange Offer. Any Old Notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without expense to the tendering holders thereof as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. See "The Exchange Offer." There is no public market for the Old Notes, although the Old Notes are included in the Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages ("PORTAL") Market for trading among "qualified institutional buyers." To the extent that Old Notes are tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer, the trading market for untendered and tendered but unaccepted Old Notes could be adversely affected. The Company has been advised by the American Stock Exchange, Inc. ("AMEX") that the New Notes have been approved for listing on AMEX, subject to official notice of issuance. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the New Notes will develop after such listing. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company, which includes all the secured indebtedness of the Company, and senior or PARI PASSU in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company's existing subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries created after the issuance of the Notes (the "Guarantors"). The guarantees of the Notes by the Guarantors are subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors and senior or PARI PASSU in right of payment of all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors. As of May 31, 1994, the principal amount outstanding of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors was approximately $147.3, which includes approximately $65.1 million of secured indebtedness. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors may create liens on any of their respective assets to secure Senior Indebtedness and certain other types of indebtedness. The Indenture prohibits the Company and the Guarantors from creating liens on any of their respective assets to secure indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with or subordinated to the Notes, unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured. SEE "RISK FACTORS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISKS TO BE CONSIDERED BY HOLDERS WHO TENDER THEIR OLD NOTES IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER. ------------------------------ THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

SUMMARY THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE COMPLETE AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO, AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THE DETAILED INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE, OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN, THIS PROSPECTUS. ALL CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS WITHOUT A DEFINITION ARE DEFINED AS SET FORTH BELOW UNDER THE CAPTION "DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES - -- CERTAIN DEFINITIONS." THE COMPANY Charter Medical Corporation ("Charter" or the "Company") is a leading private provider of behavioral healthcare services and one of the largest owners and operators of private psychiatric hospitals in the United States. Approximately 46,900 patients were admitted to the Company's psychiatric hospitals during the six-month period ended March 31, 1994. In contrast, its next largest competitor reported approximately 19,600 admissions during its two most recent fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 1994, the Company operated 73 psychiatric hospitals and two free-standing residential treatment centers with an aggregate capacity of 6,970 licensed beds. Its next largest competitor operated 49 psychiatric hospitals and had 4,205 beds in service at such date. On June 30, 1994, the Company acquired 18 psychiatric hospitals, seven chemical-dependency treatment facilities, one residential treatment center and one physician outpatient practice from National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME"). The acquisition of such Target Hospitals increased the number of psychiatric hospitals operated by the Company by 35% and the number of licensed beds by 29%. The Company has agreed to acquire additional behavioral healthcare facilities from NME (the acquisition concluded on June 30, 1994, together with the proposed acquisition of additional facilities, are referred to as the "Acquisition"). See "-- The Acquisition." Most of the Company's hospitals are located in well-populated urban and suburban communities in 26 primarily southern or western states of the United States. In addition, the Company operates 120 outpatient centers staffed by behavioral health professionals, 68 of the Company's hospitals operate partial hospitalization programs, 40 of the Company's hospitals operate intensive outpatient programs, and 14 hospitals offer residential treatment programs. The Company's facilities provide a continuum of behavioral care for children, adolescents and adults. These services include crisis stabilization; acute psychiatric services; acute chemical dependency services; partial (day and evening) hospitalization programs; intensive adolescent weekend services; outpatient services; support group services and aftercare, including programs such as ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS and OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS; and residential treatment. According to industry and government estimates, mental disorders affect approximately 40 million American adults (22% of the adult population) each year. Direct expenditures in 1990, the latest year for which data are available, for the treatment of persons suffering from mental and substance abuse disorders were approximately $67 billion. Management believes that a small percentage of those who reportedly suffer from mental or substance abuse disorders receive professional treatment. Management further believes that demand for behavioral healthcare services should increase commensurate with an increase in the percentage of persons who seek treatment for their behavioral health disorders. Management anticipates that the percentage of persons who seek treatment will increase because of a continuing decline in the social stigma associated with behavioral disorders and a growing recognition by the government and employers of the indirect costs (such as lost productivity, work and vehicular accidents, and social welfare costs) of failing to treat such behavioral health disorders. The Company's patient admissions increased 20.7% from 70,565 in fiscal 1991 to 85,158 in fiscal 1993. While admissions of behavioral healthcare patients have grown, third-party payors have been imposing more stringent admission, length of stay and reimbursement rate criteria. The average length of stay at the Company's hospitals during fiscal 1991 was 20.4 days, compared to 15.8 days during fiscal 1993, reflecting this trend. Total inpatient days also declined, from 1,445,614 in fiscal 1991 to 1,350,835 in fiscal 1993, a decline of 6.6%. Also, in recent years, reimbursement rate increases have failed to offset increases in the cost of providing care. As a result, net revenue increased only 3.5% from fiscal 1991 to fiscal 1993, significantly less than the percentage increase in patient admissions. In response to these industry trends, the Company (i) developed a wider array of outpatient services, such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and 1 residential treatment programs; (ii) decentralized hospital management to increase the Company's responsiveness to local market conditions; (iii) pursued joint ventures and strategic affiliations with other healthcare providers; and (iv) implemented more efficient operating and administrative expense controls. As a result of the controls, operating and administrative expenses decreased from $656.8 million in fiscal 1991 to $640.8 million in fiscal 1993, or 2.4%. The Company's strategy is to become a nationwide integrated provider of high-quality, cost-effective behavioral healthcare services. To implement this strategy, management intends to expand the Company's partial hospitalization and outpatient programs in its existing markets and to enter approximately 14 new markets in the United States and Europe, in addition to the 16 new markets entered into as a result of the Acquisition. The Company's ability to enter such new markets will depend on whether or not, and how quickly, the Company is able to identify facilities it may acquire in such markets. The Company does not, on the date hereof, have an agreement to acquire any behavioral healthcare facilities in any of the 14 new markets. Management also is seeking additional strategic alliances with, and additional acquisitions of, group psychiatric practices, mental health clinics, other behavioral healthcare providers and behavioral managed-care firms. Management believes that this strategy will enhance the Company's ability to obtain nationwide, area-wide and local contracts to be the exclusive or a preferred provider of behavioral healthcare services to major employers, third-party payors and managed-care firms. The Company was reorganized pursuant to chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code during fiscal 1992 (the "Reorganization"). Following the Reorganization, the Company has focused on further reducing its long-term debt and managing its core group of psychiatric hospitals. As of March 31, 1994, the Company had repaid approximately $692.7 million of its approximately $1.1 billion post-Reorganization long-term debt. On September 30, 1993, the Company sold ten of its general hospitals for approximately $338.0 million, the net proceeds of which were applied to such repayment. THE ACQUISITION The Company has entered into two asset sale agreements (the "Asset Sale Agreements") with NME providing for the purchase from NME of substantially all of the assets of 36 psychiatric hospitals, eight chemical-dependency treatment facilities, two residential treatment centers and one physician outpatient practice (including related outpatient facilities and other associated assets, the "Target Hospitals"). The aggregate purchase price for the Target Hospitals under the Asset Sale Agreements is approximately $146.9 million in cash plus an additional cash amount, estimated to be approximately $50.7 million, subject to adjustment, for the net working capital of the Target Hospitals at the closing of the Acquisition. As noted above, on June 30, 1994, the Company acquired 18 of the Target Hospitals, seven chemical-dependency treatment facilities, one residential treatment facility and the physician outpatient practice. The Target Hospitals have an aggregate capacity of 3,496 licensed beds and are located in 20 states. During their fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, the Target Hospitals had approximately 40,000 patient admissions and net revenue of approximately $407.5 million. The subsidiaries of the Company that own, or will own, the Target Hospitals are Guarantors. Management believes that the Acquisition will assist the Company in implementing its strategy by increasing the Company's size, market position and geographic coverage. For example, the Acquisition permits the Company to enter 16 new markets, including markets in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States. Management also believes that the introduction to the Target Hospitals of Charter's operating and financial control systems, continuum of care and marketing efforts will increase the utilization and profitability of the Target Hospitals. However, the Company has no assurance that it will be able to operate the Target Hospitals profitably following the Acquisition. NME and certain of its subsidiaries that own the Target Hospitals have been involved in significant lawsuits and governmental investigations concerning possible improper practices related principally to its psychiatric business. As a result of these past practices, Charter's ability to operate the Target Hospitals profitably may have been impaired. Furthermore, the Company could unknowingly employ NME personnel who were involved in such wrongful activities. See "Risk Factors -- Risks Related to Unsuccessful Operation of the Target Hospitals" and "-- Risks Related to Past Practices of NME." 2 Except for the combined financial statements of the Selected Psychiatric Hospitals of National Medical Enterprises, Inc. included elsewhere in this Prospectus, information contained herein regarding NME and the Target Hospitals has been derived by the Company from information obtained by the Company during its due diligence review of the Target Hospitals prior to executing the Asset Sale Agreement. Except for the combined financial statements of the Selected Psychiatric Hospitals of National Medical Enterprises, Inc., NME has not passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus, which has been prepared by the Company. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has agreed to indemnify NME in connection with the offering of the securities made hereby. The combined financial statements of the Selected Psychiatric Hospitals of National Medical Enterprises, Inc. relate to all facilities to be acquired in the Acquisition, including the facilities that have not yet been acquired. THE OLD NOTES OFFERING The Old Notes..................... The Old Notes were sold by the Company on May 2, 1994 in a private placement (the "Offering") to accredited investors (the "Initial Purchasers") pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated April 22, 1994 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Initial Purchasers subsequently resold the Old Notes to "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. As of the date of this Prospectus, all $375,000,000 outstanding principal amount of the Old Notes were evidenced by global securities, registered in the name of CEDE & Co., as nominee for The Depositary Trust Company ("DTC"), and held by Marine Midland Bank as securities custodian for CEDE & Co. As indicated elsewhere in this Prospectus, the Old Notes have been included in the PORTAL Market for trading among "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Registration Rights Agreement..... Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Initial Purchasers entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, which, among other things, grants the holders of the Old Notes certain exchange and registration rights. The Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy such exchange rights, which rights will terminate upon consummation of the Exchange Offer. See "The Exchange Offer -- Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer." The Financing Transactions........ Simultaneously with the sale of the Old Notes, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreements with a group of financial institutions (as so amended and restated, the "New Credit Agreement"). The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Old Notes and the initial borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement to refinance substantially all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness and certain indebtedness of its subsidiaries. The issuance of the Old Notes, the borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the preceding sentence and to finance the Acquisition are referred to herein collectively as the "Financing Transactions." See "Use of Proceeds." THE EXCHANGE OFFER Securities Offered................ $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 1/4% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2004 that have been registered pursuant to the Securities Act (the "New Notes"). 3 The Exchange Offer................ $1,000 principal amount of the New Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2004 that have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act (the "Old Notes"). As of the date hereof, $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Old Notes is outstanding. The Company will issue the New Notes to holders on or promptly after the Expiration Date. The New Notes are being offered for exchange hereby to satisfy certain obligations of the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement. Based on existing interpretations of the Staff with respect to similar transactions, the Company believes that New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder which is an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders are not engaged in, have no arrangement with any person to participate in, and do not intend to engage in, any public distribution of the New Notes. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a resale prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal which accompanies this Prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a resale prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit to be acting in the capacity of an "underwriter" (within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act). This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the date on which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is first declared effective it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution." Expiration Date................... 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 1994 unless the Exchange Offer is extended, in which case the term "Expiration Date" means the latest date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended. Accrued Interest on the New Notes and Old Notes..................... Each New Note will bear interest from its date of original issuance. Holders of Old Notes that are accepted for exchange and exchanged for New Notes will receive, in cash, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the original issuance date of the New Notes. Such interest will be paid on the first interest pay- ment date for the New Notes. Interest on the Old Notes accepted for exchange and exchanged in the Exchange Offer will cease to accrue on the date next preceding the date of original issuance of the New Notes. 4 Conditions to the Exchange Offer............................. The Exchange Offer is subject to certain customary conditions, which may be waived by the Company. See "The Exchange Offer -- Conditions." Procedures for Tendering Old Notes............................. Each holder of Old Notes wishing to accept the Exchange Offer must complete, sign and date the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, in accordance with the instructions contained herein and therein, and mail or otherwise deliver such Letter of Transmittal, or such facsimile, together with the Old Notes and any other required documentation to the Exchange Agent (as defined) at the address set forth herein. By executing the Letter of Transmittal, each holder will represent to the Company that, among other things, each holder of the Old Notes who wishes to exchange its Notes for New Notes in the Exchange Offer will be required to make certain representations to the Company, including that (i) any New Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement with any person to participate in a public distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the New Notes, and (iii) it is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of the Company, or if it is such an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable to it. In addition, each holder who is not a broker-dealer will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a public distribution of the New Notes. Each holder who is a broker-dealer and who receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale by it of such New Notes. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the date on which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is first declared effective, it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resales. For a description of the procedures for certain resales by broker-dealers, see "Plan of Distribution." See "The Exchange Offer -- Procedures for Tendering." Untendered Old Notes.............. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer, holders of Old Notes eligible to participate and to receive freely transferrable New Notes (based on existing interpretations of the staff described elsewhere in this Prospectus) but who do not tender their Old Notes will not have any further registration rights and such Old Notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for such Old Notes could be adversely affected. Shelf Registration Statement...... Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that applicable interpretations of the Staff do not permit the Company to effect the Exchange Offer or if for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not consummated by August 31, 1994, or if the Initial Purchasers so request with respect to Old Notes not eligible to be exchanged for New Notes in the Exchange Offer or if any holder of Old Notes is not eligible to participate in the 5 Exchange Offer or does not receive freely tradeable New Notes in the Exchange Offer, the Company will, at its expense, (a) promptly file a shelf registration statement (a "Shelf Registration Statement") permitting resales from time to time of the Old Notes, (b) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and (c) use its best efforts to keep such registration statement current and effective until three years from the date it becomes effective or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Old Notes covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company, at its expense, will provide to each holder of the Old Notes copies of the prospectus that is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, notify each such holder when the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Old Notes from time to time. A holder of Old Notes who sells such Old Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement which are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification obligations). Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners............................ Any beneficial owner whose Old Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender its Old Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on such beneficial owner's behalf. If such beneficial owner wishes to tend- er on such beneficial owner's behalf, such owner must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering its Old Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Old Notes in such owner's name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time. Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.... Holders of Old Notes who wish to tender their Old Notes and whose Old Notes are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their Old Notes, the Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent (or comply with the procedures for book-entry transfer) prior to the Expiration Date must tender their Old Notes accord- ing to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Withdrawal Rights................. Tenders may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Acceptance of Old Notes and Delivery of New Notes............. The Company will accept for exchange and exchange any and all Old Notes which are properly tendered in the Exchange Offer and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The New Notes issued pursuant to the 6 Exchange Offer will be delivered promptly following the Expiration Date. See "The Exchange Offer -- Terms of the Exchange Offer." Federal Income Tax Consequences... The exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer should not be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer." Use of Proceeds................... There will be no cash proceeds to the Company from the exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. See "Use of Proceeds." Exchange Agent.................... Marine Midland Bank. SUMMARY OF TERMS OF THE NEW NOTES The form and terms of the New Notes are identical to the form and terms of the Old Notes except that the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof and except for the series designation. The New Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. See "Description of the New Notes." Maturity Date..................... April 15, 2004. Interest Payment Dates............ April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 1994. Guarantees........................ The New Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by the Guarantors. The guarantees of the New Notes by the Guarantors will be subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors and senior or PARI PASSU in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors. See "Description of the New Notes -- Guarantees." Ranking........................... The New Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness and senior or PARI PASSU in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The New Notes and the guarantees thereof will be PARI PASSU in right of payment with all Old Notes that are not exchanged for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. As of May 31, 1994, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors was approximately $147.3 million. The Indenture will prohibit the Company from incurring, assuming or guaranteeing any Indebtedness that is subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to the New Notes. Optional Redemption............... The New Notes will be redeemable for cash, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on or after April 15, 1999, at the redemption prices set forth herein, plus accrued interest. See "Description of the New Notes -- Optional Redemption." Change of Control................. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, holders of the New Notes will have the option to require the Company to repurchase their New Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The Company's ability to repurchase the New Notes following a Change of Control will be dependent upon it having sufficient cash therefor and the terms of its then outstanding Senior Indebtedness. See "Description of the New Notes -- Change of Control" and "Summary of New Credit Agreement." 7 Certain Covenants................. The Indenture contains certain covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur indebtedness that is subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to the New Notes; (iii) grant liens to secure subordinated indebtedness; (iv) sell equity interests in subsidiaries; (v) engage in transactions with affiliates; (vi) make certain restricted payments; (vii) apply the net proceeds of certain asset sales; (viii) agree to payment restrictions affecting certain subsidiaries; and (ix) engage in mergers, consolidations and the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries to another person. Investment Considerations......... In evaluating the Exchange Offer, holders of Old Notes should carefully consider the factors set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" prior to determining whether to participate in the Exchange Offer. Holders of the Old Notes should also consider that such factors are also generally applicable to the Old Notes. 8 SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER DAY AMOUNTS) The following summary consolidated historical financial data of Charter have been prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with, Charter's consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1993 and notes thereto, including the unaudited interim consolidated financial data for the six months ended March 31, 1993 and 1994, set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus. The summary selected consolidated pro forma financial data have been prepared assuming that the Acquisition and the Financing Transactions occurred on the first day of the period presented, in the case of the pro forma operating data, and on the balance sheet date, in the case of the pro forma balance sheet data. For an explanation of the adjustments and assumptions made to prepare the pro forma financial data, see "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information."

The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to service its debt payment obligations; however, EBITDA does not represent cash flow from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or for cash flow as a measure of liquidity. The ratios are shown as indicators of the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations. (2) Includes amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets. (3) Provision of care to one inpatient for one day. (4) Inpatient days adjusted to reflect outpatient utilization, computed by dividing patient revenue by inpatient revenue per day. (5) Includes inpatient and outpatient revenue. Excludes revenue from non-psychiatric operations. (6) The Company had a working capital deficiency of $18.5 million at March 31, 1994, due primarily to the retention of liabilities for cost report settlements for the general hospitals sold on September 30, 1993. (7) This ratio is based on annualized EBITDA. 9 THE COMPANY The Company was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 577 Mulberry Street, Macon, Georgia 31298, and its telephone number is (912) 742-1161. Unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" includes Charter Medical Corporation and its subsidiaries. RISK FACTORS IN EVALUATING THE EXCHANGE OFFER, HOLDERS OF THE OLD NOTES SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS PRIOR TO ACCEPTING THE EXCHANGE OFFER. HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THAT SUCH FACTORS ARE ALSO GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO THE OLD NOTES. THE OLD NOTES AND THE NEW NOTES ARE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO HEREIN AS THE "NOTES." LEVERAGE AND DEBT SERVICE. As of May 31, 1994, the ratio of the Company's total long-term debt and capital lease obligations to EBITDA (as defined) was approximately 3.0 to 1. The ratio of EBITDA (as defined) to net interest for the eight months ended May 31, 1994, was approximately 5.0 to 1. The Indenture permits the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, subject to certain limitations. The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important consequences to holders of the Notes, including: (a) a significant portion of the Company's cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness and (b) the Company's leverage may make it more vulnerable to healthcare industry related or general economic downturns and may limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures or to take advantage of attractive business opportunities. The Company's ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance its obligations with respect to its indebtedness (including the Notes) depends on its financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions, to governmental healthcare policies and to financial, business, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. There can be no assurance that the Company's operating results will continue to be sufficient for payment of all of the Company's indebtedness, including the Notes. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information." SUBORDINATION. The New Notes will be senior subordinated obligations of the Company and, as such, will be subordinated to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors, which include borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement in an amount not to exceed $300 million and will rank PARI PASSU in right of payment with all Old Notes not exchanged for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. As of May 31, 1994, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors was approximately $147.3 million. Upon the maturity of any Specified Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived, rescinded or annulled) or otherwise, all principal thereof, premium, if any, interest and fees thereon and all other obligations with respect thereto shall first be paid in full in cash, or such payment duly provided for, before any payment is made on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. In addition, the Company may not pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and may not acquire any Notes (including by means of redemption or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control) for cash or property, if there has been any default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Specified Senior Indebtedness or in the payment of any letter of credit commission under the New Credit Agreement, unless such default has been cured, waived or has ceased to exist, or such Specified Senior Indebtedness has been discharged. In addition, if any non-payment event of default exists with respect to any Specified Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity of such Specified Senior Indebtedness may be accelerated and certain other conditions are satisfied, the Company may not make or otherwise provide for any payments on the Notes for a designated period of time. Pursuant to the terms of certain Senior Indebtedness, a non-payment default under such Senior Indebtedness could result in (i) the acceleration of such Senior Indebtedness, (ii) the cessation of funding under the New Credit Agreement, and (iii) the ability of holders of certain Senior Indebtedness to stop payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company upon liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or any similar proceeding, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors will be entitled to receive payment in full before the holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment. See "Description of the New Notes." 10 The indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the New Credit Agreement (including the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors) is secured by substantially all of the real and personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (except for the real property of the Target Hospitals and of subsidiaries formed after the date of the New Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions), including pledges of all or a portion of the capital stock of substantially all of the Company's operating subsidiaries. The Notes and the guarantees thereof are not secured. See "Summary of New Credit Agreement." DEPENDENCE ON DISTRIBUTIONS FROM SUBSIDIARIES. The Company is a holding company which derives substantially all of its operating income from its subsidiaries. The Company must rely upon dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet its obligations, including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. The ability of the Company's subsidiaries to make such payments may be restricted by, among other things, applicable state corporate laws and other laws and regulations. See "Description of the New Notes." POSSIBLE UNENFORCEABILITY OF THE GUARANTEES. The holders of the Notes have no direct claim against the subsidiaries other than the claim created by the guarantees. The guarantees may be subject to legal challenge as constituting fraudulent conveyances or for otherwise being given for inadequate consideration. If such a challenge were upheld, the guarantees would be invalidated and unenforceable. In addition, it is possible that holders of the Notes would be ordered by a court to turn over to other creditors of the Guarantors or to their trustees in bankruptcy all or a portion of the payments made to them pursuant to the guarantees. To the extent that the guarantees are not enforceable in amounts sufficient to satisfy the claims of the holders of the Notes, the rights of holders of the Notes to participate in any distribution of assets of any Guarantor upon liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or otherwise may, as is the case with other unsecured creditors of the Company, be subject to prior claims of creditors of that Guarantor. RISKS RELATED TO UNSUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THE TARGET HOSPITALS There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate the Target Hospitals profitably following the Acquisition. In this regard, the Company notes that NME incurred net losses with respect to its operations of the Target Hospitals of approximately $1.3 million and $23.1 million for its fiscal years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993, respectively, and of approximately $17.2 million and $117.9 million for its nine-month periods ended February 28, 1993 and 1994, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reverse the factors that caused the Target Hospitals to incur operating losses in such periods. RISKS RELATED TO PAST PRACTICES OF NME. NME and certain of its subsidiaries, including those that own the Target Hospitals, have been involved in significant lawsuits and governmental investigations concerning possible improper practices related principally to its psychiatric business. NME has settled a majority of the significant lawsuits and, on June 29, 1994, entered into a settlement agreement with certain federal government agencies that finalized all of its open investigations of NME. The past practices of NME present the following risks for the Company: (i) The Company's ability to operate the Target Hospitals profitably may have been impaired because of the uncertainty caused by the lawsuits and governmental investigations related to NME's past practices. Such uncertainty may have adversely affected management and employee morale, diverted management attention from operational matters and permitted the Target Hospitals' competitors to use concerns about the past practices as a means of attracting physicians and other referral sources. The Company has no assurance that it will be able to reverse such impairment. (ii) The Company intends to employ a significant number of managerial employees who are now employed by NME in connection with the Target Hospitals. While the Company is not aware that any employees it intends to hire were involved in allegedly wrongful activities, it is possible that the Company could unknowingly employ persons who were so involved. Such persons could cause the Company to engage in practices of the type in which NME was alleged to have participated in the past. PREVIOUS BANKRUPTCY REORGANIZATION. The Company was reorganized pursuant to chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, effective on July 21, 1992. Prior to the Reorganization, the Company's total indebtedness was approximately $1.8 billion; and from February 1991 until July 1992, the Company was in default in the payment of interest and principal, or both, on substantially all such indebtedness. The 11 indebtedness was incurred by the Company in connection with a management buyout of the Company in 1988 and a hospital-construction program. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to seek further protection pursuant to the bankruptcy laws, due to the occurrence of factors beyond its control and that it cannot now foresee. See "Capitalization" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." HISTORICAL OPERATING LOSSES. The Company experienced losses from continuing operations before reorganization items, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $65.6 million, $322.3 million and $167.1 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1989, 1990 and 1991, respectively. Such losses amounted to approximately $81.7 million and $8.1 million for the ten-month period ended July 31, 1992 and the two-month period ended September 30, 1993, respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993, such loss amounted to approximately $39.6 million. The Company's history of such losses could have an adverse affect on the Company's operations. REIMBURSEMENT BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993, the Company derived approximately 56% of its gross psychiatric patient service revenue from private-pay sources (including HMO's, PPO's and Blue Cross), 23% from Medicare, 15% from Medicaid and 6% from the Civilian Health and Medical Program for the Uniformed Services ("CHAMPUS"). Changes in the mix of the Company's patients among the private-pay, Medicare and Medicaid categories, and among different types of private-pay sources, can significantly affect the profitability of the Company's operations. Various cost-containment mechanisms by both governmental and private third-party payors have begun to restrict the scope and amount of reimbursable healthcare expenses. Therefore, there can be no assurance that payments under governmental and private third-party payor programs will remain at levels comparable to present levels or will, in the future, be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to patients eligible for reimbursement pursuant to such programs. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company's hospitals will continue to meet the requirements for participation in such programs. HEALTHCARE REFORM. On October 27, 1993, President Clinton submitted to Congress comprehensive healthcare reform legislation (the "Administration's Proposal"). At present, six other comprehensive reform proposals have been introduced in the Congress, several of which are likely to be viewed by Congress as significant alternatives to the Administration's Proposal. A central component of the Administration's Proposal is the restructuring of health insurance markets through the use of "managed competition." Under the Administration's Proposal, states would be required to establish regional purchasing cooperatives, known as "regional alliances," that would be the exclusive source of insurance coverage for individuals and employers with fewer than 5,000 employees. All employers would be required to make such coverage available to their employees and contribute 80% of the premium, and all individuals would be required to enroll in an approved health plan. Regional alliances would contract with health plans that demonstrate an ability to provide consumers with a broad range of benefits, including hospital services. The federal government would provide subsidies to low income individuals and certain small businesses to help pay for the cost of coverage. These subsidies and other costs of the Administration's Proposal would be funded in significant part by reductions in payments by the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs to providers, including hospitals. The Administration's Proposal would also place stringent limits on the annual growth in health-plan insurance premiums. Certain aspects of the Administration's Proposal, such as reductions in Medicare and Medicaid payments, if adopted, could adversely affect the Company's business. Other aspects of the Administration's Proposal, such as universal health insurance coverage, could have a positive impact on the Company's business by reducing the amount of uncompensated care provided by the Company's hospitals. No assurance can be given that any reform proposal will be adopted or implemented or that any reform proposal which is ultimately adopted will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In addition to the Administration's Proposal and other federal reform initiatives, state legislatures also have undertaken healthcare reform initiatives independent of federal reform. The States of Maine, Florida, California and Washington have adopted legislation based on managed competition. It is not possible at this time to predict what, if any, reforms will be adopted by these and other states, or when such reforms will be adopted and implemented. No assurance can be given that any such reforms will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's revenues and earnings or upon the demand for the Company's services. 12 COMPETITION. Competition among hospitals and other healthcare providers for patients has intensified in recent years. During this period, hospital occupancy rates in the United States have declined as a result of cost containment pressures, changing technology, changes in regulations and reimbursement, changes in practice patterns from inpatient to outpatient treatment and other factors. In areas in which the Company operates, there are other hospitals or facilities that provide inpatient or outpatient services comparable to those offered by the Company's hospitals. The competitive position of the Company's hospitals also has been, and in all likelihood will continue to be, affected by the increased initiatives undertaken during the past several years by federal and state governments and other major purchasers of healthcare services, including insurance companies and employers, to revise payment methodologies and monitor healthcare expenditures in order to contain healthcare costs. In addition, hospitals owned by governmental agencies or other tax-exempt entities benefit from endowments, charitable contributions and tax-exemptions, the advantages of which are not enjoyed by the Company's hospitals. LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE NEW CREDIT AGREEMENT. The New Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur other indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, incur liens, make certain restricted payments, enter into certain business combination and asset sale transactions and limit capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that such restrictions will not adversely affect the Company's ability to conduct its operations or finance its capital needs or impair the Company's ability to pursue attractive business and investment opportunities if such opportunities arise. Under the New Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to maintain certain specified financial ratios. Failure by the Company to maintain such financial ratios or to comply with the restrictions contained in the New Credit Agreement could cause such indebtedness (and by reason of cross-acceleration provisions, other indebtedness) to become immediately due and payable and/or could cause the cessation of funding under the New Credit Agreement. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," and "Summary of the New Credit Agreement." The Indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that are less restrictive than those contained in the New Credit Agreement. REGULATION. The federal government and all states in which the Company operates regulate various aspects of the Company's business. Healthcare facilities are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other authorities to ensure continued compliance with various standards, their continued licensing under state law and certification under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Although the Company has not failed to obtain necessary approvals or licenses in the past, the failure to obtain or renew any required regulatory approvals or licenses in the future could adversely affect the operations of the Company. DEPENDENCE ON HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. Physicians traditionally have been the source of a majority of the Company's hospital admissions. Therefore, the success of the Company's hospitals is dependent in part on the number and quality of the physicians on the medical staffs of the Company's hospitals and their admission practices. A small number of physicians account for a significant portion of patient admissions at some of the Company's hospitals. There can be no assurance that the Company can retain its current physicians on staff or that additional physician relationships will be developed in the future. Furthermore, hospital physicians are generally not employees of the Company and in general the Company does not have contractual arrangements with hospital physicians restricting the ability of such physicians to practice elsewhere. LIABILITY INSURANCE. In prior years, the Company self-insured against a substantial portion of its general and professional liability risk, including a self-insured deductible of $2 million per occurrence for the policy years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993, of $2.5 million per occurrence for the policy years ended May 31, 1990 and 1991, and of $3 million for the policy year ended May 31, 1989. Effective for the policy year beginning on June 1, 1993, the Company eliminated its self-insured deductible for psychiatric hospitals and reduced its self-insured deductible to $1.5 million per occurrence for its general hospitals, which were sold on September 30, 1993. The amount of expense relating to the Company's malpractice insurance may materially increase or decrease from year to year depending, among other things, on the nature and number of new reported claims against the Company and amounts of settlements of previously reported claims. To date, the Company has not experienced a loss in excess of policy limits. The Company believes that its coverage limits are adequate. ABSENCE OF TRADING MARKETS. The Old Notes are currently owned by a relatively small number of institutional investors. The Company believes that none of such holders is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company. Prior to the Exchange Offer, no public market for the Old Notes 13 will exist, although the Old Notes are eligible for trading in the PORTAL Market among "qualified institutional buyers." The Company has been advised by AMEX that the New Notes have been approved for listing on AMEX, subject to official notice of issuance. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the New Notes will develop after any such listing. Future trading prices of the Notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, the Company's results of operations and the market for similar securities. Depending on prevailing interest rates, the markets for similar securities and other factors, including the financial condition of the Company, the Notes may trade at a discount from their principal amount. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE NOTES. The Old Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will remain subject to restrictions on transferability to the extent they are not exchanged for New Notes by holders who are entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer. The holders of Old Notes who are not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer are entitled to certain registration rights, and the Company is required to file the Shelf Registration Statement with respect to resales from time to time of any such Old Notes. EXCHANGE OFFER PROCEDURES. Issuance of the New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of such Old Notes, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, holders of the Old Notes desiring to tender such Old Notes in exchange for New Notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. The Company is under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old Notes for exchange. Old Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted by the Company for exchange will, following consummation of the Exchange Offer, continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer thereof under the Securities Act and, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, certain registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate. In addition, any holder of Old Notes who tenders in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of participating in a public distribution of the New Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" (within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act) of the New Notes and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge in the Letter of Transmittal that accompanies this Prospectus that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. See "Plan of Distribution." To the extent that Old Notes are tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer, the trading market for untendered and tendered but unaccepted Old Notes could be adversely affected. See "The Exchange Offer." THE ACQUISITION GENERAL. On March 29, 1994, the Company entered into an asset sale agreement with respect to the purchase of the Target Hospitals. The Company and NME subsequently entered into two separate Asset Sale Agreements, each dated as of March 29, 1994, which supersede the original asset sale agreement and, together, provide for the purchase of the Target Hospitals. One such Asset Sale Agreement (the "First Facilities Agreement") provided for the sale of 21 psychiatric hospitals, seven chemical-dependency treatment facilities, one residential treatment center and one physician outpatient practice. The Company and NME closed the sale of 18 psychiatric hospitals, seven chemical-dependency treatment facilities, one residential treatment facility and the physician outpatient practice covered by the First Facilities Agreement on June 30, 1994. The second Asset Sale Agreement (the "Subsequent Facilities Agreement") provides for the sale of 15 psychiatric hospitals, one chemical-dependency treatment facility and one residential treatment center. Closing dates for the sale of the remaining Target Hospitals covered by the First Facilities Agreement and the Target Hospitals covered by the Subsequent Facilities Agreement have not been established. The Company received a request for additional information related to the Acquisition from the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals for the Acquisition. The Company and NME agreed to enter into two separate asset sale agreements after the FTC agreed to grant early termination of the applicable waiting period with respect to the Target Hospitals covered by the First Facilities Agreement. The FTC issued its approval of the sale of the Target Hospitals covered by the First Facilities Agreement on June 24, 1994. The purchase price for the Target Hospitals was determined by NME following its solicitation of bids for the Target Hospitals and arm's-length negotiations with the Company. The Company's bid for the Target 14 Hospitals was based on an analysis of many factors, including the EBITDA of the Target Hospitals. The purchase price for the Target Hospitals set forth in the original asset sale agreement was $151.9 million. The price was reduced to $146.9 million when the First Facilities Agreement and the Subsequent Facilities Agreement were executed. DESCRIPTION OF THE TARGET HOSPITALS. The Target Hospitals have an aggregate capacity of 3,496 licensed beds and are located in 20 states. During their fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, the Target Hospitals had approximately 40,000 patient admissions. The following table sets forth certain unaudited financial information regarding the Target Hospitals set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus. NINE MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED MAY 31, FEBRUARY 28, ---------------------- ---------------------- 1992 1993 1993 1994 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net revenue...................................................... $ 537,218 $ 407,525 $ 309,273 $ 265,160 Operating and administrative expenses............................ 424,985 351,281 268,206 228,326 See "Business -- Hospital Properties" and "Target Hospital Summary Financial Information." RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION. Management believes that the Acquisition will assist the Company in implementing its strategy by increasing the Company's size, market position and geographic coverage. For example, the Acquisition will permit the Company to enter 16 new markets, including markets in the mid- Atlantic and northeastern United States. Management also believes that the introduction to the Target Hospitals of Charter's operating and financial control systems, continuum of care and marketing efforts will increase the utilization and profitability of the Target Hospitals. See "Risk Factors -- Risks Related to Unsuccessful Operation of the Target Hospitals" and "-- Risks Related to Past Practices of NME." TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION AND RELATED DOCUMENTS. Under the terms of the Asset Sale Agreements, the aggregate purchase price of the Target Hospitals is approximately $146.9 million (the "Basic Purchase Price"), plus an additional cash amount estimated to be approximately $50.7 million, subject to adjustment, for the net working capital of the Target Hospitals on the closing date of the Acquisition. The Basic Purchase Price has been allocated among the Target Hospitals so that adjustments may be made if one or more of the Target Hospitals is not acquired because of the inability to obtain certain necessary consents or approvals, the existence of certain prohibitions or restraints relating to the contemplated transactions, defects in the title to real property, environmental conditions or events of casualty or condemnation. The Asset Sale Agreements include a covenant by NME not to compete with any Target Hospital from or through any facility located within a 25-mile radius of such Target Hospital for a period of three years after closing of the Acquisition, subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Asset Sale Agreements require that if NME exercises its right to terminate the Acquisition under either agreement because of fiduciary duties to its shareholders and if NME sells substantially all of the Target Hospitals to one or more third parties prior to March 29, 1995, NME shall pay to the Company a termination fee of $15 million. The Subsequent Facilities Agreement contemplates up to three closings of purchases of the Target Hospitals subject to such agreement. The purchase of the Target Hospitals, including the Target Hospitals remaining to be purchased pursuant to the First Facilities Agreement, is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Asset Sale Agreements, including (i) the receipt of all required approvals and consents to the purchases, (ii) the Company's having obtained all necessary licenses and permits necessary for operation of the pertinent Target Hospital, (iii) the absence of pending or threatened legal or governmental actions seeking to restrain the sale of the pertinent Target Hospital, (iv) the performance of covenants and agreements and the accuracy of representations and warranties set forth in the Asset Sale Agreements, and (v) the absence of any material adverse change in the financial, banking or capital markets as a result of which lending institutions generally cease their commercial financing activities. Pursuant to the First Facilities Agreement, the closing with respect to the remaining Target Hospitals will occur on such date as the Company and NME agree, but not later than September 30, 1994, unless such date is extended with respect to the Subsequent Facilities Agreement. Pursuant to the Subsequent Facilities Agreement, the first of the three permitted closings shall occur after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the acquisition of Target Hospitals that account in the aggregate for at least $8 million of the EBITDA (as defined in the Subsequent Facilities Agreement) assigned to the Target Hospitals covered by the Subsequent Facilities Agreement for such purpose. The second of the three permitted closings must occur within 30 days of the first closing. NME will convey to the Company at the second closing those Target Hospitals as to which all conditions relating to the acquisition 15 thereof have been satisfied or waived as of such date. The third closing shall occur after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the acquisition of any Target Hospitals that were not conveyed to the Company in the first or second closing. Target Hospitals as to which all conditions relating to the acquisition thereof cannot be satisfied or waived will not be conveyed to the Company. All three closings must occur prior to September 30, 1994; provided that the final closing may be extended in the event of a governmental injunction, order or proceeding to a date not later than December 31, 1994. If the first closing does not occur before September 30, 1994, or December 31, 1994, as the case may be, the Subsequent Facilities Agreement is subject to termination by either the Company or NME, subject to certain conditions. All Target Hospitals subject to the Subsequent Facilities Agreement may be conveyed to the Company in one or two closings. The Company is unable to predict when the first closing or any subsequent closing will occur under the Subsequent Facilities Agreement. The Company has no assurance that any closing will occur. The occurrence and timing of any closing under the Subsequent Facilities Agreement is subject to receipt of approval from the FTC. The Company has no assurance that such approval will be obtained. Pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement, the Company and NME have each agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the other against, among other things, certain losses ("Losses") resulting from inaccuracy of representations or warranties, nonperformance or breach of covenants or agreements, and the failure to discharge liabilities for which such party is responsible. In addition, NME has agreed to indemnify the Company against Losses resulting from operations of the Target Hospitals before closing (including Losses arising in connection with the matters described in "Risk Factors -- Risks Related to Past Practices of NME," but excluding specific contracts, debt obligations and working capital liabilities expressly assumed by the Company), and the Company has agreed to indemnify NME against Losses resulting from the operations of the Company and the assets purchased by the Company from NME after closing, including the continuation or performance by the Company of any agreement or practice of NME or the Target Hospitals. Certain of the indemnification obligations of the Company and NME are subject to a deductible. HISTORY OF THE TARGET HOSPITALS. NME and certain of its subsidiaries, including those that own the Target Hospitals, have been involved in significant lawsuits and governmental investigations concerning possible improper practices related principally to its psychiatric business. The suits sought compensatory and punitive damages and in some cases, attorneys fees. NME has settled a majority of the significant lawsuits and, on June 29, 1994, NME entered into a settlement agreement with certain federal government agencies that finalized all of its all open investigations of NME. As noted above, Charter's ability to operate the Target Hospitals profitably may have been impaired because of the uncertainty related to the pending lawsuits and governmental investigations, and the possibility exists that the Company could unknowingly employ NME personnel who were involved in such wrongful activities. The Company believes that it will be able to overcome the adverse effects on the profitability of the Target Hospitals caused by NME's past practices. With respect to employment of NME personnel, the Company intends to advise all former NME employees that it hires that the alleged wrongful activities are against Company policy and will promptly discharge any employee who violates the policy. 16 USE OF PROCEEDS The Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy certain of the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes offered hereby. In consideration for issuing the New Notes contemplated in this Prospectus, the Company will receive in exchange Old Notes in like principal amount, the form and terms of which are the same as the form and terms of the New Notes, except as otherwise described herein. The Old Notes surrendered in exchange for New Notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the New Notes will not result in any increase or decrease in the indebtedness of the Company. The net proceeds from the sale of the Old Notes were approximately $365.6 million. Approximately $181.8 million of such net proceeds were used for the purpose of redeeming the Company's 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003. Approximately $56.8 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Old Notes were used to repay certain indebtedness of the Company outstanding under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreements, dated July 21, 1992 (the "Old Credit Agreement") and to pay transaction costs relating to the Financing Transactions (approximately $8.7 million). Of the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Old Notes, approximately $98.5 million, together with approximately $11.1 million of borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement and approximately $19.5 million of cash on hand, were used to finance the Acquisition of certain facilities covered by the First Facilities Agreement. In the event that the Acquisition of the remaining Target Hospitals covered by the First Facilities Agreement or of the Target Hospitals covered by the Subsequent Facilities Agreement are not consummated, the Company will use the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Old Notes for strategic acquisitions and alliances, the creation of joint ventures or other general corporate purposes. The Company does not, on the date hereof, have any plans or agreements for acquisitions of any facilities or for the creation of specific alliances or joint ventures that, in either case, could be considered material to the Company. Nor is the Company, on the date hereof, engaged in any negotiations relating to such. The Financing Transactions also included the refinancing of the existing mortgage indebtedness of certain of the subsidiaries of the Company (approximately $14.7 million) and the indebtedness of certain subsidiaries of the Company outstanding under the Old Credit Agreement (approximately $46.8 million) pursuant to the New Credit Agreement. The following table indicates the sources and uses of the funds obtained or to be obtained by the Company in connection with the Financing Transactions (assuming the Acquisition of all Target Hospitals). The amounts of indebtedness shown in the "Uses of Funds" table set forth below are the balances as of April 1, 1994. (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) SOURCES OF FUNDS - ------------------------------------------------ New Credit Agreement................. $ 140.8 Senior Subordinated Notes............ 375.0 Less: Discount to Initial Purchasers........................ (9.4) --------- Total Sources........................ $ 506.4 --------- --------- USES OF FUNDS - ------------------------------------------------ Old Credit Agreement Company Indebtedness............... $ 56.8 Subsidiary Indebtedness............ 46.8 Mortgages............................ 14.7 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures.......................... 181.8 Acquisition.......................... 197.6 Transaction Expenses................. 8.7 --------- Total Uses........................... $ 506.4 --------- --------- The indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Old Credit Agreement consisted of a term-loan facility and an ESOP term-loan facility. At March 31, 1994, approximately $66.0 million was outstanding under the term-loan facility and $37.6 million was outstanding under the ESOP term-loan facility. The term-loan facility also provided for the support of letters of credit securing industrial development bonds issued on behalf of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The term-loan facility (except for borrowings used to fund letter of credit drawings) bore interest per annum at BTCo's prime lending rate plus .5%. Borrowings with respect to letter of credit drawings bore interest per annum at BTCo's prime lending rate plus 1.5% per annum for the first $40 million drawn and at BTCo's prime lending rate plus 1% per annum for amounts drawn in excess of $40 million. The ESOP term loan facility funded purchases of the Company's common stock by the Company's employee stock ownership plan. Approximately 75% of the borrowings outstanding pursuant to the ESOP term-loan facility bore interest at a fixed rate of 8.375% per annum, with the remaining portion bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to 85% of the interest rate applicable to the term-loan facility. The principal amount outstanding pursuant to the Old Credit Agreement was payable in installments, with the final installment being due on September 30, 1997. The indebtedness that was secured by mortgages bore interest at 12.32% per annum and matured in 1997. 17 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth (i) the capitalization of the Company at March 31, 1994, and (ii) such capitalization as adjusted as of such date to give effect to the Financing Transactions.

The information for periods after July 31, 1992 is not comparable to information presented for periods prior to such date because of consummation of the Reorganization and the implementation of fresh start accounting in fiscal 1992, which included the revaluation of the Company's assets and liabilities at the assumed reorganization value thereof and resulted in, among other things, significant reductions in the principal amount of the Company's long-term debt and interest expense and the elimination of preferred stock and preferred stock dividend requirements. Accordingly, a line has been used to separate the financial data of the Company after the consummation of the Reorganization from those of the Company prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 1991, July 31, 1992 and September 30, 1992 and 1993, and for each of the fiscal periods in the three-year period ended September 30, 1993, together with the notes thereto and the related reports of Arthur Andersen & Co., independent public accountants, are included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Selected consolidated financial information for the six months ended March 31, 1993 and 1994 has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of Management, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for such interim periods. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any future periods. The selected financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, the notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this Prospectus. 19 SELECTED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS DATA (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) FOR THE TEN TWO SIX MONTHS MONTHS MONTHS YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ENDED ENDED ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------------------- JULY 31, SEPT. 30, SEPT. 30, ------------------ 1989 1990 1991 1992 1992 1993 1993 1994 -------- ---------- ---------- -------- --------- --------- -------- -------- Net revenue................... $930,831 $ 954,508 $ 868,264 $777,855 $142,850 $897,207 $459,550 $421,427 Operating and administrative expenses..................... 667,482 804,897 656,828 563,600 107,608 640,847 323,367 305,589 Bad debt expense.............. 41,935 78,944 51,617 50,403 14,804 67,300 34,870 32,288 Depreciation and amortization................. 43,555 66,571 48,659 35,126 3,631 26,382 13,802 13,579 Amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets....................... -- -- -- -- 7,167 42,678 21,500 15,600 Interest, net................. 180,351 205,723 232,218 169,244 12,690 74,156 37,307 16,785 ESOP expense (credit)......... 43,941 52,033 (3,962) 33,714 4,811 45,874 17,970 24,599 Deferred compensation expense...................... 31,399 6,815 5,061 3,190 -- -- -- -- Stock option expense (credit)..................... -- -- -- -- (789) 38,416 31,277 6,851 Provision for restructuring of operations................... -- 105,000 45,000 -- -- -- -- -- Income (Loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, reorganization items, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle......

The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding the ability to service debt payment obligations; however, EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income as an indicator of the Target Hospitals' operating performance or for cash flow as a measure of liquidity. 21 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended September 30, 1993, and the six months ended March 31, 1994, and the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1994, set forth below, have been prepared by combining the Company's audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1993 with the Target Hospitals' unaudited combined condensed statement of operations for the twelve months ended August 31, 1993; combining the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1994 with the Target Hospitals' unaudited combined condensed statement of operations for the six months ended February 28, 1994; combining the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994 with the Target Hospitals' unaudited combined condensed balance sheet as of February 28, 1994; and giving effect to the Financing Transactions and the payment of the estimated related expenses. The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with "Risk Factors -- Leverage and Debt Service," Charter's consolidated historical financial statements and notes thereto and the combined financial statements of the Target Hospitals and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospecuts. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended September 30, 1993, and the six months ended March 31, 1994, were prepared as if the Financing Transactions had occurred on October 1, 1992 and 1993, respectively. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1994, was prepared as if the Financing Transactions had occurred on such date. For purposes of presenting pro forma results, no changes in revenues and expenses have been made to reflect the result of any modification to operations that might have been made had the Financing Transactions been consummated on the assumed effective dates of such transactions. The pro forma expenses include the recurring costs which are directly attributable to such transactions, such as interest expense, and the related tax effects. The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the results which would actually have been attained had such transactions been completed as of the date and for the periods presented or which may be attained in the future. 22 PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED) AS OF MARCH 31, 1994 (IN THOUSANDS) ASSETS TOTAL CONTINUING CHARTER AS TARGET HOSPITALS PRO FORMA PRO FORMA REPORTED AS OF 2/28/94 ADJUSTMENTS CONSOLIDATED ---------- ---------------- ------------ ------------ Current assets Cash and cash equivalents........................................... $ 40,535 $ 2,019 $ (2,019)(a) $ 50,220 (194,057)(a) 203,742(b) Cash collateral account............................................. 8,207 0 (8,207)(b) 0 Accounts receivable, net............................................ 129,117 65,707 2,817(a) 197,641 Supplies............................................................ 4,933 2,328 7,261 Assets held for sale................................................ 0 126,943 (126,943)(a) 0 Other current assets................................................ 13,748 3,122 (670)(a) 16,200 ---------- -------- ------------ Total current assets.............................................. 196,540 200,119 271,322 Property and equipment Land................................................................ 93,850 0 9,346(a) 103,196 Buildings and improvements.......................................... 307,768 0 103,296(a) 411,064 Equipment........................................................... 69,017 0 31,324(a) 100,341 ---------- -------- ------------ 470,635 0 614,601 Accumulated depreciation............................................

Common equivalent shares would have been antidilutive and were therefore not included in the calculation of loss per common share. Pro forma earnings per common share and common equivalent share were calculated by dividing net income by the total weighted average common shares outstanding during the period (25,935,523) increased by the number of shares issuable on the exercise of options and warrants outstanding, reduced by the number of common shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants (1,399,601). Those purchases were assumed to have been made at the average price of the common stock during the period. Pro forma earnings per common share assuming full dilution were calculated in the same manner. However, purchases assumed in the computation of pro forma earnings per common share assuming full dilution were computed using the common stock price at the end of the period, which was higher than the average price. The net increase resulting from the exercise of options and warrants outstanding would have been 1,414,812. 29 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1991 and 1993 and the six months ended March 31, 1994, the Company derived approximately 6%, 11% and 14%, respectively, of its gross patient revenue from HMO's and PPO's; 64%, 45% and 39%, respectively, from other private payor sources (primarily Blue Cross and commercial insurance); 14%, 23% and 26%, respectively, from Medicare; 8%, 15% and 16%, respectively, from Medicaid; and 8%, 6% and 5%, respectively, from CHAMPUS. The Company does not expect its current payor mix to be altered significantly as a result of the Acquisition. Changes in the mix of the Company's patients among the private-pay, Medicare and Medicaid categories, and among different types of private-pay sources, can significantly affect the profitability of the Company's operations. The psychiatric hospital industry has been adversely affected by (i) the imposition of more stringent length of stay and admission criteria by non-governmental insurance and other healthcare benefit programs; (ii) the failure of reimbursement rate increases from certain third-party payors that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis to offset increases in the cost of providing services; (iii) an increase in the percentage of its business that the Company derives from third-party payors that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis; (iv) a trend toward higher deductibles and co-insurance for individual patients; (v) a trend toward limiting employee health benefits, such as reductions in annual and lifetime limits on behavioral health coverage; and (vi) a trend toward agreements with payors where the Company agrees to assume the risk for provision of treatment to all members of a particular group for a specified revenue amount. The Company continues to experience admission increases at its psychiatric hospitals, but as a result of the reductions in average length of stay, aggregate patient days have decreased. Also an increasing percentage of the Company's revenue is coming from Medicare, Medicaid and HMO's and PPO's and less from traditional commercial insurance. Accordingly, the Company continues to broaden the scope of healthcare services it provides by offering alternatives to traditional inpatient treatment settings, such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and residential treatment programs. Despite the pressures noted above, in fiscal 1993 all but five of the Company's psychiatric hospitals generated sufficient revenues to cover their operating expenses. These five hospitals had lower than anticipated patient revenue and had operating expenses in excess of revenues of $1.4 million, of which $1.0 million was attributable to one facility. This facility was located in an overlapping region with another of the Company's psychiatric hospitals. The operations of these two hospitals were combined and are showing improved results in fiscal 1994. The remaining four facilities have increased their revenue due to increased admissions and increased equivalent patient days and are no longer operating at losses. Because of the industry factors described above, the Company's operating margins declined to 20.4% and 19.8% in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of fiscal year 1994 from 22.8% and 22.0% in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of the prior year. Operating income (which is defined as net revenue less operating and administrative expenses and bad debt expenses) was $43 million for the Company's second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1994, compared with $53 million in the comparable quarter in fiscal 1993. Operating income in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1993 was approximately $2 million more than operating income in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1994, due to the normal settlement of reimbursement issues. The Company may continue to experience reduced margins and fewer inpatient days when compared to prior periods. The Company's intends further to increase its outpatient services and to enter approximately 30 new markets in response to this trend. Management believes that the Acquisition will assist the Company in implementing its strategy by increasing the Company's size, market position and geographical coverage. For example, the Acquisition will permit the Company to enter 16 new markets, including markets in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States. Management also believes that the introduction to the Target Hospitals of Charter's operating and financial control systems, continuum of care and marketing efforts will increase the utilization and profitability of the Target Hospitals. On a pro forma basis (see "Unaudited Pro-forma Financial Information") the Company's net income from continuing operations increased. Management believes the operating 30 results of the Target Hospitals will provide sufficient cash flow for debt service and capital expenditures related to those facilities. See "Risk Factors - -- Risks Related to Unsuccessful Operations of the Target Hospitals." The Company's ability to increase the rates it charges to offset increased costs is limited because the Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from patients covered by governmental and managed-care programs. With respect to governmental programs, the amount the Company can charge for its services is established by law. With respect to managed-care programs, the amount is established by the managed-care contracts. Although inflation has not been a significant factor in the Company's results of operations in recent years, a resurgence of inflation could adversely affect the Company's results of operations because of such limitations on the Company's ability to increase its rates. It is unlikely that federal and state governments will increase reimbursement rates under their programs in amounts sufficient to offset future price increases that result from general inflationary pressures. Also, many of the Company's managed-care contracts have multi-year terms and do not contain inflation adjustment provisions. The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with a reduced demand for certain services generally occurring in the fourth quarter and around major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Company believes that business in the entire behavioral healthcare industry is seasonal and, therefore, does not expect the Acquisition to alter this aspect of the Company's business. As of September 30, 1990, the Company operated 91 psychiatric hospitals and 12 general hospitals with an aggregate capacity of 9,798 licensed beds. During fiscal years 1991, 1992, and 1993, and through March 31, 1994, the Company sold eight psychiatric hospitals for a total of $42.7 million, leased two psychiatric hospitals, with options to purchase by the lessees, and closed five psychiatric hospitals. One of the closed hospitals was leased, and the lease was terminated; the remaining four hospitals are held for sale or sublease or for alternate uses. Of the four hospitals, the Company has a contract to sell one facility, one facility is being marketed for sale, one facility is being marketed for sublease and one facility is now being used for a residential treatment program by an existing Company facility. During fiscal year 1992, the Company closed one general hospital, and on September 30, 1993, it sold ten general hospitals. As a result of these transactions, and the combining into one facility of two psychiatric hospitals formerly licensed separately, the Company operated 75 psychiatric hospitals as of March 31, 1994. The Company leases one general hospital, which is managed by an unrelated third party. The lease and management agreement expire in 1997. The ten general hospitals were sold for approximately $338.0 million. The Company retained the assets and liabilities for professional liability claims incurred and cost report settlements for periods prior to September 30, 1993. The results of operations of the general hospitals sold on September 30, 1993 have been reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements. Included in these amounts are net interest expenses related to debt specifically identifiable as debt of the general hospitals. One of the ten hospitals sold had previously been classified as a "non-core general hospital." The results of operations of this hospital were not included in the consolidated financial statements. For fiscal 1993, the core general hospitals had net revenue of approximately $347 million and a net loss of approximately $15 million. The sale of the general hospitals has enabled the Company to concentrate its efforts on behavioral healthcare systems. Additionally, the sale of the general hospitals enabled the Company to reduce its long-term debt by approximately $310.3 million. During fiscal 1992, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganization, which became effective on July 21, 1992, resulted in a reduction of approximately $700 million principal amount of long-term debt and the elimination of redeemable preferred stock having an aggregate liquidation preference of $233 million. The Company accounted for the Reorganization by using the principles of fresh start accounting, as required by AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code." For accounting purposes, the Company assumed that the Reorganization was consummated on July 31, 1992. Under the principles of fresh start accounting, the Company's total assets were recorded at their assumed 31 reorganization value, with the reorganization value allocated to identified tangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value at July 31, 1992. The excess of the reorganization value over the value of identifiable assets is reported as "reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets." Since consummation of the Reorganization in July 1992, the Company made further reductions in its long-term debt of approximately $692.7 million as of March 31, 1994. This debt reduction was made from the net proceeds from the sale of the general hospitals ($310.3 million), sale of other assets ($27.3 million), mandatory prepayments from excess cash ($108.6 million) and voluntary and scheduled principal amortization ($246.5 million). Effective with the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1994 the Company will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). Under SFAS 115 investments are to be classified into three categories: held to maturity, available for sale, or trading. Unrealized holding gains or losses will be recorded for securities held for trading and securities available for sale. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 115 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements or results of operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The comparability of the Company's net revenue, operating and administrative expenses and bad debt expense from continuing operations for fiscal years 1991 through 1993 was not affected by the consummation of the Reorganization or the sale of the general hospitals. During the fourth quarters of fiscal 1990 and 1991, the Company recorded charges related to the estimated losses through estimated disposal dates of hospitals that the Company planned to sell, lease or close (the "Noncore Hospitals"). Accordingly, financial results presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1991, 1992 and 1993 and the six months ended March 31, 1993 and 1994, do not include net revenue, operating and administrative expenses, bad debt expenses or depreciation and amortization expense for the Noncore Hospitals. QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993 COMPARED TO QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994. The selected statistics presented below are for the "same store" core hospitals in operation at March 31, 1994.

(4) Includes inpatient and outpatient revenue. Excludes revenue from non-psychiatric operations. The Company had 329,267 patient days during the second quarter of fiscal 1994, a decrease of 24,442, or 7%, as compared to 353,709 for the same period of fiscal 1993. The decrease in patient days occurred despite 32 an increase of 2,657, or 12%, in admissions from 22,380 in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 to 25,037 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The Company had 649,931 patient days during the first six months of fiscal 1994, a decrease of 42,972, or 6%, as compared to 692,903 for the same period of fiscal 1993. These decreases in patient days were due primarily to a 15% decrease in the average length of stay per patient caused primarily by increasingly stringent utilization criteria imposed by third party payors regarding inpatient treatment. Admissions increased 4,908, or 12%, from 42,004 in the first half of fiscal 1993 to 46,912 in the first half of fiscal 1994. The Company's net revenue declined from $233,160,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 to $212,610,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, a decrease of $20,550,000 or 9%. Of this decrease, $2,950,000 related to three hospitals which were closed during the last two quarters of fiscal 1993. The remaining decline was related to the "same store" core hospitals in operation at March 31, 1993 and 1994. Net revenue at the "same store" core hospitals decreased from $217,954,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 to $198,947,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, a decline of $19,007,000 or 9%. Net revenue per equivalent patient day also declined for the "same store" core hospitals from $575 to $549, or 5%, for the same periods. The decline in net revenue was offset, in part, by a $1,407,000 increase in revenue from non-psychiatric operations, from $12,256,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 to $13,663,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The Company's net revenue for the six months ended March 31, 1994 declined from $459,550,000 for the same period in fiscal 1993 to $421,427,000, a decrease of $38,123,000, or 8%. Of this decrease, $10,706,000 related to the four hospitals closed during fiscal 1993. The remaining decline related to the "same store" core hospitals. One hospital which is now included in the "same store" core hospital group was previously held for sale, and therefore, its net revenue of $2,658,000 was not included in the Company's reported consolidated net revenue for the six months ended March 31, 1993. Net revenue decreased $33,561,000, or 8%, from $430,637,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1993, to $397,076,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1994. Net revenue per equivalent patient day also decreased to $557 from $580, or 4%, for the same periods. The declines in net revenue and net revenue per equivalent patient day for the "same store" hospitals were due primarily to a shift in payor mix toward more Medicare, Medicaid and other cost-based business. The decline in net revenue was offset, in part, by a $3,486,000 increase in net revenue from non-psychiatric operations, from $20,865,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1993 to $24,351,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1994. The increase was primarily due to additional reserves established in fiscal 1993 for uncollectible accounts. The Company experienced a $10,466,000, or 6%, decrease in operating and administrative expenses to $153,147,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994, as compared to $163,613,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1993. Operating and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1994 were $305,589,000 as compared to $323,367,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1993, a decline of $17,778,000, or 5% due primarily to reductions in salaries and benefits resulting from decreases in the number of employees and reductions in other purchased services. Bad debt expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 decreased $334,000, or 2%, to $16,159,000 from $16,493,000 for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Bad debt expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 7.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 from 7.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 1993. Bad debt expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1994 decreased $2,582,000, or 7%, to $32,288,000 from $34,870,000 for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Bad debt expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 7.7% in the first six months of fiscal 1994 from 7.6% in the first six months of fiscal 1993. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $269,000, or 4%, from $6,635,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 to $6,904,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 and decreased $223,000, or 2%, from $13,802,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1993 to $13,579,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1994. Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets (the "Excess Reorganization Value") is being amortized over the three-year period ending June 1995. During fiscal 1993, Excess Reorganization Value was reduced by approximately $21 million to reflect the recognition of tax benefits related to 33 pre-Reorganization tax loss carry forwards, and accordingly amortization expense for the Excess Reorganization Value decreased 27%, or $2,950,000 to $7,800,000 from $10,750,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively and decreased 27%, or $5,900,000, to $15,600,000 from $21,500,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net interest expense for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1994 decreased 54% and 55%, respectively, from the same periods of the previous fiscal year, due to the debt reductions resulting from the sale of the general hospitals, mandatory and voluntary prepayments and scheduled payments in fiscal 1993 and the first half of fiscal 1994. ESOP expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 increased $3,335,000, or 37%, to $12,300,000 from $8,965,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1993. ESOP expense for the first half of fiscal 1994 also increased 37%, or $6,629,000, to $24,599,000 from $17,970,000 for the first half of fiscal 1993. These increases resulted primarily from changes in eligibility requirements, which increased the number of employees who participate in the ESOP. Stock option expense for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1994 decreased from the same periods of the previous year due to a one-time charge during the second quarter of fiscal 1993 of $21.3 million related to the vesting of certain options held by a former employee and director. Under the terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan, upon the satisfaction of certain financial targets and the termination of his employment, all of the employee's options vested immediately and the option prices were reduced to $.25 per share. During December 1993, the former employee and director exercised approximately 2.2 million options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock and surrendered approximately 570,000 of such optioned shares (valued at approximately $14.2 million) as consideration for the payment of required withholding taxes. As a result, the Company was required to make withholding tax payments on behalf of the former employee of approximately $14.2 million which was charged against additional paid-in capital. This charge was offset by a tax benefit recorded of approximately $9.4 million related to additional stock option expense allowable for income tax purposes. The financial and statistical data presented below for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1991, 1992, and 1993 is "same store" data for the core hospitals in operation as of September 30, 1993, and differs from amounts reported above, amounts previously reported and amounts presented below under "Business."

(4) Includes inpatient and outpatient revenue. Excludes revenue from non-psychiatric operations. 34 FISCAL 1992 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993. The Company had 1,350,835 patient days in fiscal 1993, a decrease of 38,080, or 3%, from 1,388,915 in fiscal 1992. The decrease in patient days occurred despite an increase of 6,561, or 8%, in admissions from 78,597 in fiscal 1992 to 85,158 in fiscal 1993. The decrease in average length of stay was caused by stringent criteria regarding inpatient treatment by payors and changes in program mix. The Company's net revenue decreased $22,798,000, or 2%, from $920,705,000 in fiscal 1992 to $897,907,000 in fiscal 1993. Of this decline, $13,410,000 resulted from the disposal of hospitals which were considered core hospitals in fiscal 1992, and $814,000 was related to non-psychiatric operations. Net revenue at the "same store" core hospitals in operation at September 30, 1993 decreased to $838,775,000 in fiscal 1993 as compared to $847,349,000 for fiscal 1992, a decrease of $8,574,000, or 1%. Net revenue per equivalent patient day also decreased 1% in fiscal 1993 from $579 in fiscal 1992 to $576 in fiscal 1993. The decreases were primarily the result of an increase in the percentage of business the Company derived from Medicare and Medicaid patients during fiscal 1993. The increase in Medicaid patients results primarily from certain state Medicaid programs which have begun reimbursing for psychiatric coverages. The Company believes the increase in Medicare patients results from new programs started in certain markets for senior patients and from the general aging of the population. Net revenue in 1993 includes approximately $8 million over the prior year from the normal settlement of reimbursement issues. In fiscal 1993, gross outpatient revenue increased 53% to $100,376,000 from $65,686,000 in fiscal 1992. The Company's operating and administrative expenses declined from $671,208,000 in fiscal 1992 to $640,847,000 in fiscal 1993, a decrease of $30,361,000, or approximately 5%. The decrease in fiscal 1993 resulted primarily from reductions in salaries and benefits and purchased services and the sale of two facilities during the year. The reductions in salaries and benefits and purchased services were the result of the Company's continued focus on controlling its variable costs including a decrease in the number of employees and reduced fees for professional services. The Company's bad debt expense increased $2,093,000, or 3%, from $65,207,000 in fiscal 1992 to $67,300,000 in fiscal 1993. Bad debt expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 7.5% for fiscal 1993. The Company anticipates future increases in bad debt expenses due to increased deductibles and co-insurance and reduced annual and lifetime psychiatric maximum payment limits for individual patients, which will result in the Company not collecting full charges on an increasing number of patients. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12,375,000, or 32%, in fiscal 1993 from $38,757,000 in fiscal 1992 to $26,382,000 in fiscal 1993 due to the writedown of depreciable property and equipment and the write-off of deferred charges which occurred upon consummation of the Reorganization and the implementation of fresh start accounting. Net interest expense decreased $107,778,000, or 59%, in fiscal 1993 to $74,156,000 as compared to $181,934,000 in fiscal 1992 due to the reduction of debt upon consummation of the Reorganization and the significant debt reductions which occurred since consummation of the Reorganization. ESOP expense for fiscal 1993 increased $7,349,000, or 19% to $45,874,000 as compared to $38,525,000 for fiscal 1992 due primarily to increased contributions to the ESOP, which were required as a result of larger debt service requirements in fiscal 1993. Also, the ESOP plan was amended to permit broader participation in the plan which increased the number of employees eligible to receive an ESOP contribution in calendar 1993. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the Company implemented the 1992 Stock Option Plan. A former employee and director of the Company was granted options under the 1992 Stock Option Plan to purchase approximately 2.2 million shares at exercise prices of either $4.36 per share or $9.60 per share. On March 4, 1993, all of the options issued to the former employee and director vested and the option prices were reduced to $.25 per share, which resulted in the Company recognizing approximately $21.3 million in additional stock option expense during the second quarter of fiscal 1993. The remaining expenses related to the 1992 Stock Option Plan were due to increases in the market price of the underlying Common Stock and the impact of additional shares vesting in fiscal 1993. As of September 30, 1993, the Company had estimated tax net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $171 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These NOL carryforwards expire in 2006 and 2007 and are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Due to the 35 ownership change which occurred as a result of the Reorganization, the Company's utilization of NOLs generated prior to the consummation of the Reorganization is significantly limited. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's income tax returns for fiscal 1989 through 1992. Adjustments arising from such examination could reduce or eliminate the NOL carryforwards. In Management's opinion, adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments which may result from such examinations. The Company's tax provision in fiscal 1993 results primarily from the fact that the amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets is not deductible for tax purposes. FISCAL 1991 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1992. The Company had 1,388,915 patient days in fiscal 1992, a decrease of 56,699, or 4%, as compared to 1,445,614 in fiscal 1991. The decrease in patient days occurred despite an increase of 8,032, or 11%, in admissions from 70,565 in fiscal 1991 to 78,597 in fiscal 1992. The decrease in patient days was due primarily to a 13% decrease in the average length of stay from 20.4 to 17.8 caused by changes in program mix and stringent criteria regarding inpatient treatment by third-party payors. Net revenue for the Company's hospitals increased to $920,705,000 in fiscal 1992 from $868,264,000 in fiscal 1991, for an increase of $52,441,000, or 6%. Non-psychiatric net revenue increased $14,832,000 relating primarily to the Company's general hospital which is operated by an unaffiliated third party. Hospitals which were no longer in operation at September 30, 1993 accounted for $711,000 of the increase. The net revenue for the Company's "same store" core hospitals in operation at September 30, 1993 increased $36,898,000, or 5%, to $847,349,000 in fiscal 1992 from $810,451,000 in fiscal 1991. Net revenue per equivalent patient day for the "same store" hospitals increased from $540 in fiscal 1991 to $579 in fiscal 1992, an increase of $39, or 7%, per equivalent patient day. These increases were due to increases in hospital charges, increases in outpatient revenue and approximately $12.3 million in normal settlements of open reimbursement issues related to contractual and cost-based programs. The Company's operating and administrative expenses increased $14,380,000, or approximately 2%, in fiscal 1992. The increase from $656,828,000 to $671,208,000 resulted primarily from increased salaries and benefits, supply expenses and professional fees as a result of increased admissions in the Company's hospitals. The Company's bad debt expense increased $13,590,000, or 26%, in fiscal 1992 to $65,207,000 from $51,617,000. Bad debt expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 7.1% for fiscal 1992. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $9,902,000, or 20%, in fiscal 1992 as compared to fiscal 1991 due primarily to the decrease in amortization of preopening costs. Upon consummation of the Plan the Company began amortization of the excess of reorganization value over the value of identifiable assets, recorded in connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting. Related amortization during fiscal 1992 was $7,167,000. Interest expense for fiscal 1992 decreased 22%, or $50,284,000, to $181,934,000 from $232,218,000 for fiscal 1991. The decrease was due to the restructuring of the debt and payments made during the fiscal year. ESOP expense increased $42,487,000 during fiscal 1992 over fiscal 1991. The increase was due to reductions in ESOP expense recorded in fiscal 1991 to reflect adjustments to its previously estimated fiscal 1990 and 1991 contributions. Upon consummation of the Plan during fiscal 1992, the Company's deferred compensation plan was discontinued and the 1992 Stock Option Plan was implemented. During fiscal 1990, the Company recorded a charge of $105 million for the write-down of certain assets to their estimated net recoverable value, closing costs and estimated operating losses to the estimated disposal date on certain Non-core facilities, professional and advisory fees, write-off of development projects, severance pay related to organizational changes and other estimated restructuring costs. During fiscal 1991, the Company recorded an additional charge of $45 million for restructuring costs due primarily to the increased time required to complete the Restructuring. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES. During fiscal 1993, cash provided by operations decreased approximately $25.3 million, due primarily to the normal settlement of open reimbursement issues related to contractual and cost-based programs. 36 The number of days of net patient revenue in net patient accounts receivable was 62 days at March 31, 1994 and 61 days at September 30, 1993. Management believes that the Company will have adequate cash flow from operations to fund its operations, capital expenditures and debt service obligations over the next year. The Company had working capital deficiencies at September 30, 1992 and 1993 and at March 31, 1994 due primarily to the retention of liabilities for cost report settlements for the general hospitals sold on September 30, 1993, and $19.5 million and $13.9 million of long-term debt classified as current at September 30, 1992 and 1993, respectively, resulting from mandatory payments made in October 1992 and 1993. INVESTING ACTIVITIES. During fiscal 1993 and the first six months of fiscal 1994, the Company incurred approximately $11 million and $7 million, respectively, in capital expenditures, primarily for routine capital replacement. The Company also incurred expenditures of approximately $1.7 million for the acquisition of a business related to the implementation of the Company's new growth and expansion strategy. The capital outlays were financed from cash provided by operations. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 1994 relating to existing hospitals will be approximately $15 million. The Company also anticipates making capital expenditures of approximately $7 million during fiscal 1994 and 1995 to renovate certain of the Target Hospitals. The fiscal 1994 capital expenditures will be financed from cash provided by operations or from borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement. Future cash flows provided by investing activities will be reduced by the amount of cash previously provided by the discontinued operations which was approximately $42.5 million in fiscal year 1993. However, the sale of the General hospitals allowed the Company to reduce its debt and save approximately $32.3 million in annual interest expense. FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Since consummation of the Reorganization in July 1992, the Company has made reductions in its long-term debt of approximately $692.7 million as of March 31, 1994. This debt reduction was made from a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the general hospitals ($310.3 million), sale of other assets ($27.3 million), mandatory prepayments from excess cash ($108.6 million) and voluntary and scheduled payments ($246.5 million). Capital expenditures have been funded from internally generated funds since the Reorganization. In connection with the Reorganization, the Company entered into the Old Credit Agreement and issued the 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures. The Old Credit Agreement and the indenture for the 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures imposed severe restrictions on the Company's operations. The Old Credit Agreement limited the Company to $15 million of additional indebtedness, other than borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement. Other restrictions included limitations on capital expenditures, payment of dividends on capital stock, investments and sales of assets and stock of subsidiaries. On May 2, 1994, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement and issued the Old Notes. The net proceeds from the sale of the Old Notes, together with borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, were used to refinance the indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Old Credit Agreement, to retire the 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures and to refinance certain existing mortgage indebtedness of certain of the subsidiaries of the Company. See "Use of Proceeds." The Company expects to obtain increased operational and financial flexibility as a result of entering into the New Credit Agreement and issuing the Old Notes because the covenants contained in the New Credit Agreement and the Indenture for the Old Notes (which Indenture will also govern the New Notes) are less restrictive than those formerly in effect. However, the New Credit Agreement and the Indenture for the Old Notes contain a number of restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur other indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, incur liens, make certain restricted payments, and enter into certain business combination and asset sale transactions. The New Credit Agreement also limits the Company's ability to incur capital expenditures and requires the Company to maintain certain specified financial ratios. A failure by the Company to maintain such financial ratios or to comply with the restrictions contained in the New Credit Agreement, the Indenture for the Old Notes or other agreements relating to the Company's debt could cause such indebtedness (and by reason of cross-acceleration provisions, other indebtedness) to become immediately due and payable. See "Description of the New Notes"; "Summary of New Credit Agreement." There are no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Company. 37 The New Credit Agreement permits the Company to contribute the assets of hospitals and related medical facilities to joint ventures that conduct a healthcare business, provided that certain conditions are satisfied and that the aggregate fair market value or book value, whichever is greater, of all such facilities contributed to joint ventures with respect to which the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries do not have a majority of the equity interests or are not entitled to elect or appoint the directors, managers or trustees, as applicable, does not exceed $100 million. Furthermore, the New Credit Agreement permits the Company and its "restricted subsidiaries," (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to invest up to $70 million plus the lesser of $30 million and an amount equal to "accumulated excess cashflow" (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of cash and other assets (other than hospitals and related medical facilities) in subsidiaries of the Company formed to pursue strategic investments and joint ventures in clinical services and management information services and to invest up to $80 million in other types of investments. See "Summary of New Credit Agreement -- Affirmative, Negative and Financial Covenants." The Indenture also contains provisions that permit the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make investments in non-guarantors. The provisions contained in the Indenture are less restrictive than those contained in the New Credit Agreement and are, therefore, not relevant to the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make investments in non-guarantors as long as the New Credit Agreement is in effect. See "Description of the New Notes -- Certain Covenants - -- Limitation on Restricted Payments." The Company intends to make investments in Permitted Joint Ventures and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to the extent it believes doing so will be consistent with its business strategy. To the extent the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries make investments of the type described above, the assets available for debt payment and guarantee obligations could be diminished. 38 BUSINESS GENERAL Charter Medical Corporation ("Charter" or the "Company") is a leading private provider of behavioral healthcare services and one of the largest owners and operators of private psychiatric hospitals in the United States. Approximately 46,900 patients were admitted to the Company's psychiatric hospitals during the six-month period ended March 31, 1994. In contrast, its next largest competitor reported approximately 19,600 admissions during its two most recent fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 1994, the Company operated 73 psychiatric hospitals and two free-standing residential treatment centers with an aggregate capacity of 6,970 licensed beds. In addition, the Company operates 120 outpatient centers staffed by behavioral health professionals, 68 of the Company's hospitals operate partial hospitalization programs, 40 of the Company's hospitals operate intensive outpatient programs, and 14 hospitals operate residential treatment programs. Its next largest competitor operated 49 psychiatric hospitals and had 4,205 beds in service at such date. The Company uses the term "psychiatric hospitals" or "hospitals" to refer to facilities licensed as acute care psychiatric hospitals and facilities licensed as residential treatment centers. A residential treatment center offers less intensive and longer stay services than do acute care psychiatric hospitals. On June 30, 1994, the Company acquired 18 psychiatric hospitals, seven chemical-dependency treatment facilities, one residential treatment center and one physician outpatient practice from NME in connection with the Acquisition. Pursuant to the First Facilities Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire, subject to the occurence of certain conditions, three additional psychiatric hospitals. Pursuant to the Subsequent Facilities Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire, subject to the occurrence of certain conditions, 15 additional psychiatric hospitals, one additional chemical-dependency treatment facilities and one additional residential treatment center. A chemical-dependency treatment facility is a hospital that is licensed to treat only substance abuse patients. If completed in its entirety, the Acquisition will increase the number of behavioral healthcare facilities operated by the Company to 121, with an aggregate capacity of 10,466 licensed beds. Management believes that the Acquisition will assist the Company in implementing its strategy by increasing the Company's size, market position and geographic coverage. For example, the Acquisition will permit the Company to enter 16 new markets, including markets in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States. Management also believes that the introduction to the Target Hospitals of Charter's operating and financial control systems, continuum of care and marketing efforts, will increase the utilization and profitability of the Target Hospitals. See "Risk Factors -- Risks Related to Unsuccessful Operation of the Target Hospitals" and "-- Risks Related to Past Practices of NME." INDUSTRY OVERVIEW According to industry and government estimates, mental disorders affect approximately 40 million American adults (22% of the adult population) each year. Severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, manic depressive illness and severe depression, affect approximately five million people (2.8% of the adult population). Substance abuse disorders affect approximately 17 million adults (9.5% of the adult population). Smaller percentages of adolescents suffer from mental or substance abuse disorders. Management believes that a small percentage of those who reportedly suffer from mental or substance abuse disorders receive professional treatment. Direct expenditures in 1990, the latest year for which data are available, for treatment of persons suffering from mental and substance abuse disorders were approximately $67 billion. Management believes that demand for behavioral healthcare services should increase commensurate with the increase in the percentage of persons who seek treatment for their behavioral health disorders. Management anticipates that the percentage of persons who seek treatment will increase because of a continuing decline in the social stigma associated with behavioral disorders and a growing recognition by the government and employers of the indirect costs (such as lost productivity, work and vehicular accidents, and social welfare costs) of failing to treat such disorders. Management further believes that direct expenditures to private providers (including clinicians and hospitals) will increase as overall demand for behavioral healthcare services increases. Because of the requirement for cost-effective delivery of behavioral healthcare services, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment should increasingly serve as alternatives to traditional inpatient treatment. 39 HOSPITAL OPERATIONS The Company's psychiatric hospitals are primarily located in well-populated urban and suburban locations in 26 primarily southern and western states in the United States. Fifteen of the Company's hospitals are affiliated with medical schools for residency and other post-graduate teaching programs. The Target Hospitals are located in 20 states. The Company does not currently operate psychiatric hospitals in five of these states: Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Jersey. The financial and statistical results from operations of the Noncore Hospitals for fiscal years 1991, 1992 and 1993 are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements or the following table.

(2) Provision of care to one inpatient for one day. (3) Represents outpatient utilization, computed by dividing gross outpatient revenue by gross inpatient revenue per day. (4) Inpatient days as a percentage of licensed bed days. (5) Includes inpatient and outpatient revenue. Excludes revenue from non-psychiatric operations. The Company's facilities provide a continuum of behavioral care for children, adolescents and adults in their service area. These services include crisis stabilization; acute psychiatric services; acute chemical dependency services; partial (day and evening) hospitalization programs; intensive adolescent weekend services; outpatient services; support group services and aftercare, including programs such as ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS and OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS; and residential treatment. A typical treatment program of the Company integrates physicians and other patient-care professionals, and, for those patients who do not have a personal psychiatrist or other specialist, the hospital refers the patient to a member of its medical staff. A significant portion of psychiatric hospital admissions are provided by physician referrals, and physician relationships are an important aspect of the Company's ongoing business. Management believes that the quality of the Company's treatment programs, staff employees and physical facilities are important factors in maintaining good physician relationships. The Company's hospitals work closely with mental health professionals, non-psychiatric physicians, emergency rooms and community agencies that come in contact with individuals who may need treatment for mental illness or substance abuse. The Company's marketing efforts are directed at increasing general awareness of mental health and addictive disease and the services offered by the Company's hospitals. SEASONALITY The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with a reduced demand for certain services generally occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter and around major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Company believes that business in the entire behavioral healthcare industry is seasonal and, therefore, does not expect the Acquisition to alter this aspect of the Company's business. 40 COMPETITION Each of the Company's hospitals competes with other hospitals, including psychiatric hospitals and general hospitals that have psychiatric units. Some of these hospitals are larger and have greater financial resources. Some competing hospitals are owned and operated by governmental agencies, others by nonprofit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and others by proprietary hospital corporations. Psychiatric hospitals frequently draw patients from areas outside their immediate locale and, therefore, the Company's psychiatric hospitals may, in certain markets, compete with both local and more distant hospitals. The competitive position of a hospital is, to a significant degree, dependent upon the number and quality of physicians who practice at the hospital and who are members of its medical staff. In order to deliver cost-effective behavioral healthcare services, most of the Company's hospitals provide a range of alternatives to traditional inpatient treatment, including day hospitalization and on-and off-campus outpatient services. These alternative services may compete with private practicing mental health professionals and, in certain markets, with non-hospital facilities that provide full-and part-day outpatient treatment. In recent years, the competitive position of hospitals has been affected by the ability of such hospitals to obtain contracts with Preferred Provider Organizations ("PPO's"), Health Maintenance Organizations ("HMO's") and other managed care programs to provide inpatient and other services. Such contracts normally involve a discount from the hospital's established charges, but provide a base of patient referrals. These contracts also frequently provide for pre-admission certification and for concurrent length of stay reviews. The importance of obtaining contracts with HMO's and PPO's varies from market-to-market, depending on the individual market strength of the HMO's and PPO's. State certificate of need laws place limitations on the Company's and its competitors' ability to build new hospitals and to expand existing hospitals. Protection from new competition is reduced in those states where there is no certificate of need law. The Company operates 36 hospitals in 11 states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas and Utah) which do not have certificate of need laws applicable to hospitals. Sixteen of the Target Hospitals are in seven states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas) which do not have certificate of need laws applicable to hospitals. INDUSTRY TRENDS The Company's psychiatric hospitals have been adversely affected by factors influencing the entire psychiatric hospital industry. Factors which affect the Company include (i) the imposition of more stringent length of stay and admission criteria by non-governmental insurance and other healthcare benefit programs; (ii) the failure of reimbursement rate increases from certain third-party payors that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis to offset increases in the cost of providing services; (iii) an increase in the percentage of its business that the Company derives from third-party payors that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis; (iv) a trend toward higher deductibles and co-insurance for individual patients; (v) a trend toward limiting employee health benefits, such as reductions in annual and lifetime limits on mental health coverage; and (vi) a trend toward agreements with payors where the Company agrees to assume the risk for the provision of treatment to all members of a particular group for a specified revenue amount. In response to these industry trends, the Company (i) developed a wider array of outpatient services, such as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs; (ii) decentralized hospital management to increase the Company's responsiveness to local market conditions; (iii) pursued joint ventures and affiliations with other healthcare providers; and (iv) implemented more efficient operating and administrative expense controls. The Company's strategy is to become a nationwide integrated provider of high-quality, cost-effective behavioral healthcare services. To implement this strategy, management intends to expand the Company's partial hospitalization and outpatient programs in its existing markets and to enter approximately 14 new markets in the United States and Europe , in addition to the 16 new markets entered into as a result of the Acquisition. The Company's ability to enter such new markets will depend on whether or not, and how quickly, the Company is able to identify facilities it may acquire in such markets. The Company does not, on 41 the date hereof, have an agreement to acquire any behavioral healthcare facilities in any of the 14 new markets. Management also is seeking additional strategic alliances with, and additional acquisitions of, group psychiatric practices, mental health clinics, other behavioral healthcare providers and behavioral managed-care firms. Management believes that this strategy will enhance the Company's ability to obtain nationwide, area-wide and local contracts to be the exclusive or a preferred provider of behavioral healthcare services to major employers, third-party payors and managed-care firms. HEALTHCARE REFORM On October 27, 1993, President Clinton submitted to Congress the Administration's Proposal for comprehensive healthcare reform legislation. At present, six other comprehensive reform proposals have been introduced in the Congress, several of which are likely to be viewed by Congress as significant alternatives to the Administration's Proposal. A central component of the Administration's Proposal is the restructuring of health insurance markets through the use of "managed competition." Under the Administration's Proposal, states would be required to establish regional purchasing cooperatives, known as "regional alliances," that would be the exclusive source of insurance coverage for individuals and employers with less than 5,000 employees. All employers would be required to make available such coverage to their employees and contribute 80% of the premium, and all individuals would be required to enroll in an approved health plan. Regional alliances would contract with health plans that demonstrate an ability to provide consumers with a broad range of benefits, including hospital services. The federal government would provide subsidies to low income individuals and certain small businesses to help pay for the cost of coverage. These subsidies and other costs of the Administration's Proposal would be funded in significant part by reductions in payments by the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs to providers, including hospitals. The Administration's Proposal would also place stringent limits on the annual growth in health-plan insurance premiums. Certain aspects of the Administration's Proposal, such as reductions in Medicare and Medicaid payments, if adopted, could adversely affect the Company's business. In fiscal 1992 and 1993, the Company obtained 29% and 38%, respectively, of its gross psychiatric patient service revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Other aspects of the Administration's Proposal, such as universal health insurance coverage, could have a positive impact on the Company's business by reducing the amount of uncompensated care provided by the Company's hospitals. No assurance can be given that any reform proposal will be adopted or implemented or that any reform proposal which is ultimately adopted will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In addition to the Administration's Proposal and other federal reform initiatives, state legislatures also have undertaken healthcare reform initiatives independent of federal reform. The States of Maine, Florida, California and Washington have adopted legislation based on managed competition. It is not possible at this time to predict what, if any, reforms will be adopted by the states, or when such reforms will be adopted and implemented. No assurance can be given that any such reforms will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's revenues and earnings or upon the demand for the Company's services. SOURCES OF REVENUE Payments are made to the Company's hospitals by patients, by various insuring organizations (including self-insured employers), by the federal and state governments under Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS and other programs, and by HMO's, PPO's and other managed care programs. Amounts received under government programs, HMO, PPO and other managed care arrangements, certain self-insured employers and certain Blue Cross plans are generally less than the hospital's established charges. The approximate percentages of gross patient revenue (which is revenue before deducting contractual allowances and discounts from established billing rates) derived by the Company's psychiatric hospitals from various payment sources for the last three fiscal years were as follows: 42 PERCENTAGE OF HOSPITAL GROSS REVENUE SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, MARCH 31, ------------------------ ------------------ 1991 1992 1993 1993 1994 ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ Medicare.......................................... 14% 18% 23% 21% 26% Medicaid.......................................... 8 11 15 14 16 ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ 22 29 38 35 42 HMO's and PPO's................................... 6 9 11 11 14 CHAMPUS........................................... 8 6 6 7 5 Other (primarily Blue Cross and Commercial Insurance)....................................... 64 56 45 47 39 ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ Total........................................... 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ The Company does not expect its current payor mix to be altered significantly as a result of the Acquisition. Most private insurance carriers reimburse their policyholders or make direct payments to the hospitals for charges at rates specified in their policies. The patient remains responsible to the hospital for any difference between the insurance proceeds and the total charges. Certain Blue Cross programs have negotiated reimbursement rates with certain of the Company's hospitals which are less than the hospital's charges. Most of the Company's hospitals have entered into contracts with HMO's, PPO's, certain self-insured employers and other managed care plans which provide for reimbursement at rates less than the hospital's normal charges. In addition to contracts entered into by individual hospitals with such managed care plans, the Company has entered into regional and national contracts with HMO's, PPO's, self-insured employers and other managed care plans that apply to all of the Company's hospitals in the geographic areas covered by a contract. The Company is seeking to obtain additional regional and national contracts. The Company expects its percentage of revenue from these payor sources to increase in the future. The Company believes that the Acquisition will assist the Company to obtain additional regional and national contracts by expanding the areas the Company serves. The Medicare program has changed significantly during the past years, and these changes have had and will continue to have significant effects on the Company's hospitals. Under the Medicare provisions of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"), costs per Medicare case are determined for each of the Company's psychiatric hospitals. A target cost per case is established for each year (the "Target Rate"). If a hospital's costs per case are less than the Target Rate, the hospital receives a bonus of 50% of the difference between its actual costs per case and the Target Rate (limited to 5% of the Target Rate). These limits apply only to operating costs and do not apply to capital costs, including lease expense, depreciation and interest associated with capital expenditures. For cost reporting years that began prior to October 1, 1991, reimbursement was generally limited to the Target Rate. Effective for cost reporting years which began on or after October 1, 1991, hospitals with costs which exceed the Target Rate are paid an additional amount equal to 50% of the excess, up to 10% of the Target Rate. The Target Rate for each hospital is increased annually by the application of an "update factor" published in regulations and/or legislation. Most of the Company's hospitals participate in state operated Medicaid programs. Federal guidelines prohibit Medicaid funding for inpatient services within freestanding psychiatric hospitals for patients between the ages of 21 and 64. Each state government is responsible for establishing the Medicaid eligibility and coverage criteria, payment methodology and funding mechanisms which apply in that state, subject to federal guidelines. Accordingly, the level of Medicaid payments received by the Company's hospitals varies from state to state. In addition to the basic payment level for patient care, several state programs include a financial benefit for hospitals which treat a disproportionately large volume of Medicaid patients as a percentage of the total patient population. These "disproportionate share" benefits are subject to annual review and revision by the related state governments and could be substantially reduced or eliminated at any 43 point in the future. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA 93") prohibits disproportionate share payments to hospitals which have a Medicaid utilization rate of less than 1% effective for state fiscal years ending in 1994. Beginning in state fiscal years ending in 1995, the amount of disproportionate share payments each hospital can receive will be limited through the use of formulas based generally on the cost of providing services to Medicaid and uninsured patients. The Administration's Proposal would eliminate Medicaid disproportionate share payments. The Company received approximately $1 million, $13 million and $15 million in Medicaid disproportionate share payments in fiscal 1991, 1992 and 1993, respectively. Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to administrative rulings and interpretations which may affect payments made under either or both of such programs. In addition, federal or state governments could reduce the future funds available under such programs or adopt additional restrictions on admissions and more stringent requirements for utilization of services. These types of measures could adversely affect the Company's operations. Although the Target Rates have been increased annually, the Company does not believe these increases have been sufficient to offset inflation in hospital operating costs. Final determination of amounts payable under Medicare and certain Medicaid programs are subject to review and audit. The Company's management believes that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that might result from such reviews or audits. Most of the Company's hospitals receive revenues from the CHAMPUS program. CHAMPUS provides payment for civilian medical services rendered to military dependents and retired military personnel. Effective January 1, 1989, CHAMPUS changed its method of reimbursing providers for drug and alcohol treatment services and inpatient psychiatric services. After that date, psychiatric hospitals were classified into two groups, each with different payment methods. The first group, classified as high volume CHAMPUS hospitals, are those hospitals with 25 or more CHAMPUS discharges during federal fiscal year 1988 or any fiscal year thereafter. (The Company has 52 hospitals included within this group.) These hospitals receive a per diem payment, subject to a limitation of $672 per day. The remainder of the Company's psychiatric hospitals are classified as low volume CHAMPUS hospitals. These hospitals receive a per diem based on a wage-adjusted regional rate. Effective October 1, 1991, CHAMPUS patients became subject to annual limits on the number of psychiatric days covered by the CHAMPUS program. Covered inpatient services are generally limited to 30 days for adult acute patients, 45 days for child and adolescent acute patients, and 150 days for residential treatment center patients. These limits have reduced the revenue the Company receives from the CHAMPUS program. The Company's Medicare revenue has been and may in the future be reduced under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 and OBRA 93 (the "Budget Acts"). These laws remain in effect through fiscal year 1998, and require that federal spending automatically be reduced in amounts determined by calculations set out in the Budget Acts, if certain requirements relating to the amount of the federal deficit are not met. Under the Budget Acts, Medicare expenditures for a fiscal year can be reduced by no more than 4%. Medicaid funding is exempt from reductions under the Budget Acts. There were no reductions in fiscal 1991, 1992 or 1993. Payment reductions under the Budget Acts, if implemented in future years, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's net revenue. However, because the actual amount of the reduction for any fiscal year may vary according to the federal deficit, the financial impact of the Budget Acts on the Company cannot be predicted. REGULATION AND OTHER FACTORS Operations of hospitals are subject to substantial federal, state and local government regulation. Such regulations provide for periodic inspections or other reviews by state agencies, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (the "Department") and CHAMPUS to determine compliance with their respective standards of medical care, staffing, equipment and cleanliness necessary for continued 44 licensing or participation in the Medicare, Medicaid or CHAMPUS programs. The admission and treatment of patients at the Company's psychiatric hospitals are also subject to substantial state regulation and to federal regulation relating to confidentiality of medical records of drug and alcohol abuse patients. The obtaining of approvals for construction of new hospitals and for renovation of and additions to existing hospitals is subject to various governmental requirements, such as approval of sites and findings of community need for additional hospital facilities and services. In addition, in certain states, as a practical matter, it is necessary to pledge to provide various amounts of uncompensated care to indigent persons in order to obtain a certificate of need. Except for Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas and Utah, all the states in which the Company presently operates hospitals or will operate a hospital following the Acquisition have adopted certificate of need or similar statutes. A certificate of need is issued for a specific maximum expenditure and the holder is required to complete the approved project within a specified time period. Federal law contains numerous provisions designed to insure that services rendered by hospitals to Medicare and Medicaid patients are medically necessary and are of a quality which meets professionally recognized standards and to insure that claims for reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are properly filed. Among other things, services provided at the Company's hospitals are subject to periodic review by Peer Review Organizations ("PRO's"). All hospitals which participate in the Medicare program are subject to review by PRO's. PRO activities include reviews of certain admissions and services to determine medical necessity and to determine whether quality of care meets professionally recognized standards. PRO's have the authority to recommend to the Department that a provider who is in substantial noncompliance with the medical necessity and quality of care standards of a PRO or who has grossly and flagrantly violated an obligation to render quality care be excluded from participation in the Medicare program or be required to reimburse the federal government for certain payments previously made to the provider under the Medicare program. The Company's psychiatric hospitals have been subject to and have complied with various forms of utilization review since 1970. The Company has implemented a quality assurance program in each of its hospitals, which includes procedures for utilization review and retrospective patient care evaluation. The Medicare and Medicaid Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987 expanded the authority of the Department to exclude from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs those hospitals which engage in defined prohibited activities. The Department is required under this Act to exclude from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs any individual or entity that has been convicted of a criminal offense relating to the delivery of services under Medicare and Medicaid or to the neglect or abuse of patients. In addition, the Department has authority to exclude from participation in the Medicare program individuals or hospitals under certain other circumstances. These include engaging in illegal remuneration arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers, license revocation, exclusion from some other government programs (such as CHAMPUS), filing claims for excess charges or for unnecessary services, failure to comply with conditions of participation and failure to disclose certain required information or to grant proper access to hospital books and records. The Department has authority to impose civil monetary penalties against any participant in the Medicare program which makes claims for payment for services which were not rendered or were rendered by a person or entity not properly licensed under state law. The Department also has authority to impose a penalty of not more than $2,000 for each improperly claimed service and an assessment equal to not more than twice the amount claimed for each service not rendered. Federal law makes it a felony, subject to certain exceptions, for a hospital to make false statements relating to claims for payments under the Medicare program, to engage in illegal remuneration arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers, to make false statements relating to compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation, or to make false claims for Medicare or Medicaid payments. A number of states have adopted laws that also make illegal under state law certain remuneration and referral arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers. 45 The laws of certain states prohibit the corporate practice of medicine and limit the scope of relationships between medical practitioners and other parties. Such laws will apply to the Company's acquisition of group psychiatric practices in such states. Under such laws, the Company is prohibited from practicing medicine or exercising control over the provision of medical services. Accordingly, the Company intends to enter into management agreements that will delegate to the Company the performance of administrative management and support functions which are required by physicians. The Company believes that the services it intends to provide to such group practices will not constitute the corporate practice of medicine under applicable state laws. In order to provide guidance to healthcare providers with respect to the statute that makes certain remuneration arrangements between hospitals and physicians and other healthcare providers illegal, the Department, in 1991 and 1992, issued final regulations outlining certain "safe harbor" practices, which, although potentially capable of inducing prohibited referrals of business, would not be subject to enforcement action under the illegal remuneration statute. The practices covered by the regulations include certain investment transactions, lease of space and equipment, personal services and management contracts, certain managed care contracts, sales of physician practices, referral services, warranties, discounts, payments to employees, group purchasing organizations and waivers of beneficiary deductibles and co-payments. Additional proposed safe harbors were published in 1993 by the Department. Certain transactions and agreements of the Company do not satisfy all the applicable criteria contained in the final and proposed safe harbor regulations that relate to such transactions and agreements. However, the Company believes that such transactions and agreements do not violate the statute that makes certain remuneration arrangements illegal. There can be no assurance that (i) government enforcement agencies will not assert that certain of these arrangements are in violation of the illegal remuneration statute or (ii) the statute will ultimately be interpreted by the courts in a manner consistent with the Company's practices. In 1989, Congress passed the Ethics in Patient Referrals Act of 1989, commonly referred to as the Stark Bill ("Stark I"). Stark I prohibited a physician from making a referral for clinical laboratory services for which payment may be made under Medicare, if the physician has a "financial relationship" with the entity to which the patient is referred. Prohibited financial relationships include both ownership and compensation arrangements, but are subject to several exceptions contained in such Act and its implementing regulations. On August 7, 1993, President Clinton signed the Physician Ownership and Referral Act of 1993 ("Stark II"), which expands the list of facilities and services to which Stark I applies, covering virtually all medical services except physician care. Stark II also extends the prohibition to include services reimbursed under Medicaid in addition to Medicare. Stark II extends the statutory provisions to the following services: inpatient and outpatient hospital services, radiology and other diagnostic services, radiation therapy, durable medical equipment, physical and occupational therapy, parenteral and enteral nutrition equipment and supplies, prosthetics and orthotics, home health services, and outpatient prescription drugs. The Act provides for civil sanctions in the event of a violation, including possible exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The limitations or referrals contained in Stark II will become effective on January 1, 1995. Regulations implementing the statute are expected to be issued later in 1994. In 1989, CHAMPUS adopted regulations authorizing CHAMPUS to exclude from the CHAMPUS program any provider who has committed fraud or engaged in abusive practices. The regulations permit CHAMPUS to make its own determination of abusive practices without reliance on any actions of the Department. The term "abusive practices" is defined broadly to include, among other things, the provision of medically unnecessary services, the provision of care of inferior quality, and the failure to maintain adequate medical or financial records. A number of states have adopted hospital rate review legislation, which generally provides for state regulation of rates charged for various hospital services. Such laws are in effect in the states of Florida, Maryland and Wisconsin. The Company operates seven hospitals and five of the Target Hospitals are located in Florida. In Florida, the Health Care Board approves a budget for each hospital, which establishes a permitted level of revenues per discharge. If this level of permitted revenues per discharge is exceeded by a hospital in a particular year by more than a specified amount, certain penalties, including cash penalties, can be imposed. Six Target Hospitals are in Maryland. The Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission 46 establishes all rates for one of such hospitals. One Target Hospital is in Wisconsin, in which rates are reviewed through the certificate-of-need process and rate hearings are subject to local public hearing requirements. In addition to hospital rate review legislation, a number of states have adopted or are considering state healthcare reform legislation generally designed (a) to reduce healthcare costs and insurance premiums and (b) to mandate or encourage universal health coverage. These state legislative initiatives contain a variety of mechanisms to achieve their goals, including formation of purchasing cooperatives, generally similar to the "managed competition" proposals pending in Congress. The Company's acquisition of group practices will also be subject to federal legislation which prohibits activities and arrangements which are designed to provide kickbacks or to induce the referral of business under Medicare and Medicaid programs. Many states have similar laws more broadly prohibiting kickbacks for the referral of any medically related business. Noncompliance with the federal anti-kickback legislation can result in exclusion from Medicare programs and civil and criminal penalties. Civil and criminal penalties are provided for violations of state anti-kickback laws. Statutes and regulations in effect in states other than those in which the Company presently does business may impose requirements on the opening and operation of facilities that are more burdensome than those imposed in states in which the Company currently does business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with any such requirements, and, as a result, the expansion of the Company's business into certain other states may be limited. MEDICAL STAFFS AND EMPLOYEES At September 30, 1993, approximately 1,200 licensed physicians were active members of the medical staffs of the Company's hospitals. Many of these physicians also serve on the medical staffs of other hospitals. A number of these physicians serve in administrative capacities in the Company's hospitals. Most of these physicians are independent contractors who have private practices in addition to their duties for the Company, while certain of these physicians are employees of the Company. The medical and professional affairs of each hospital are supervised by the medical staff of the hospital, under the control of its board of trustees. The Company recruits physicians to serve in administrative capacities at psychiatric hospitals and to engage in private practice in communities where the Company's hospitals are located. The Company's agreements with recruited physicians generally provide for, among other things, reimbursement of relocation and office startup expenses and a guarantee of a specified level of physician income during the recruited physician's first year of practice. Registered nurses and certain other hospital employees are required to be licensed under the professional licensing laws of most states. The Company's hospital subsidiaries require such employees to maintain such professional licenses as a condition of employment. At September 30, 1993, the Company had approximately 6,400 full-time and 1,900 part-time employees. The Acquisition will increase the number of the Company's full-time employees by approximately 3,700 and the number of its part-time employees by approximately 2,900. The Company's hospitals have had generally satisfactory labor relations. They have, like most hospitals, experienced a high turnover among their hourly-paid employees and nurses and also experienced rising labor costs. In common with most hospitals, the Company's hospitals in recent years have experienced difficulty in recruiting and retaining registered nurses. LIABILITY INSURANCE Effective June 1, 1993, Plymouth Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Plymouth"), a wholly-owned Bermuda subsidiary of the Company, provides $25 million per occurrence general and hospital professional liability insurance for the Company's hospitals, including professional liability claims for occurrences prior to September 30, 1993, relating to the general hospitals sold on that date. For general hospitals the insurance coverage is subject to a $1.5 million deductible per occurrence. Effective for the policy year beginning on June 1, 1993, the Company eliminated its self-insurance deductible for psychiatric hospitals. Between 80% and 100% of the risk of losses from $1.5 million to $25 million per occurrence has been insured or reinsured with unaffiliated insurers; and the percentage so insured varies by layer. The Company also insures with an 47 unaffiliated insurer 100% of the risk of losses between $25 million and $100 million per occurrence. The Company's general and professional liability coverage is written on a "claims made or circumstances reported" basis. For the five years from June 1, 1988, through May 31, 1993, the Company had a similar general and hospital professional liability insurance program. For those years, the per occurrence deductible for psychiatric and general hospitals (with respect to which the Company was self-insured) was $3 million for the year ended May 31, 1989, $2.5 million for the years ended May 31, 1990 and 1991 and $2 million for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993. The Company believes that its coverage limits are adequate. HOSPITAL PROPERTIES The following table provides information relating to the 75 psychiatric hospitals operated by the Company as of March 31, 1994. Each hospital is owned or leased and is operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

(3) Licensed as an intensive residential treatment center. (4) A leased hospital facility. 49 All of the Company's hospitals located in the United States have been accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (the "Joint Commission"). The Joint Commission is a national commission which establishes standards relating to the physical plant, administration, quality of patient care, governing body and medical staffs of hospitals. The Company operates five leased hospitals, including one 150-bed general hospital, not listed above, which is managed by an unaffiliated third party. The lease and the management agreement expire in 1997. The remaining leased hospitals consist of four with terms expiring between 1996 and 2014, and one with a term expiring in 2069. The leases for two hospitals contain options to purchase these hospitals for nominal consideration at the end of their respective lease terms. The Company does not have an option to purchase the other leased hospitals. The Company owns or leases six hospital facilities which are not operated by the Company. These facilities are located in Torrance, California, Ft. Collins, Colorado, Bradenton and West Palm Beach, Florida, Santa Teresa, New Mexico and Pasadena, Texas. Two of the facilities have been leased to other operators, with options to purchase by the lessees, and four are held for sale or lease. Five of the six hospitals are subject to a mortgage. Sixty-nine of the Company's hospitals listed above are subject to mortgages. The stock of substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of the Company has been pledged as collateral for the New Credit Agreement. The Company owns 11 medical office buildings (with an aggregate of approximately 140,000 square feet), which are located near certain of the Company's hospitals. These buildings have a total of approximately 140 tenants. Five of the Company's medical office buildings are subject to mortgages. The Company is primary lessee of office space for 105 outpatient centers located in 21 states. The leases for these centers aggregate approximately 188,000 square feet of office space, and generally have lease terms of less than five years. The following table provides information relating to the Target Hospitals. Each Target Hospital will be owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the Acquisition, the Company intends to sell or close any Target Hospital the continued operation of which is not consistent with the Company's strategy.

In July 1991, the Company began managing three psychiatric-substance abuse hospitals in Jeddah, Riyadh and Damman in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (with 180 beds each) pursuant to a fixed-price contract for a period of approximately three years. This contract expires during fiscal year 1994 and will not be renewed. These activities do not represent a significant portion of the Company's operations. The Company's international operations also include two wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries in Bermuda. Plymouth provides the insurance coverage described under "Liability Insurance." The second Bermuda subsidiary has not provided any insurance coverage since October 1, 1988. LITIGATION AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are party to general and professional liability claims incident to the ordinary course of their business. In addition, a subsidiary of the Company that operates a psychiatric hospital is subject to a federal investigation of certain of its referral practices. See "-- Regulation and Other Factors." This subsidiary was among the Company's five largest hospitals based on its contribution to EBITDA during fiscal 1993. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), for itself or in its capacity as conservator or receivor for 12 financial institutions, formerly held certain debt securities that were issued by the Company in 1988. RTC has indicated to the Company that it believes that certain financial statements and other disclosures made by the Company in connection with such debt securities contained materially misleading statements or material omissions and that such misleading statements or omissions resulted in an overvaluation of such debt securities. Specifically, the RTC has indicated its belief that the Company's financial statements overstated net income for the 1987 fiscal year and the first three quarters of the 1988 fiscal year due to understatement of contractual allowances and the allowance for bad debts and that the Company believed, but did not disclose, that the factors described under "-- Industry Trends" would occur in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that the financial institutions represented by RTC purchased in 1988 and 1989 $103.4 million face amount of subordinated debt securities originally issued by the Company in September 1988. Although the RTC has not disclosed to the Company its (or its financial institutions') trading losses from the purchases and sales of these subordinated debt securities, the RTC has disclosed the dates purchases and sales were made and the face amounts of the subordinated debt securities involved in these transactions. The Company believes that the trading losses were approximately $45 million. The Company has agreed to a tolling of the statute of limitations applicable to RTC's claims. Based on a review of relevant law and the facts known to the Company, the Company believes it has a substantial defense to a potential claim by RTC and that such claim would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 53 MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth the name, age, position and other information with respect to the directors and executive officers of Charter.

(3) Chief Executive Officer of the Company until March 4, 1993. 55 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS Upon consummation of the Plan on July 21, 1992, the Company entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Crawford and Drinkard, for terms beginning on July 21, 1992, and ending on September 30, 1995. The agreements provide for base salaries (Mr. Crawford - $500,000 and Mr. Drinkard - $335,000) and for bonuses and life and disability insurance benefits that are competitive with similar benefits for comparable positions within the investor-owned hospital industry. The agreements also provide for severance payments upon termination without cause (including certain constructive termination events), termination due to death or disability and termination due to a change in control of the Company. Upon any such termination, the employee will be paid the greater of his base salary through September 30, 1995 or his base salary for a period of two years and amounts accrued for the employee through the date of termination under the Annual Incentive Plan and other bonus plans, if any. The terms of the two employment agreements were negotiated by the Company and a committee of unsecured creditors prior to consummation of the Plan. DIRECTORS' FEES AND COMPENSATION During fiscal 1993, non-employee directors received annual compensation of $18,000 and a fee of $800 for each Board meeting attended. In addition, non-employee directors were paid $200 for each committee meeting attended ($800 if the committee meeting was not held in conjunction with a Board meeting) and on February 4, 1993, each director was granted an option under the Directors' Stock Option Plan to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an exercise price, which was equal to the fair market value on that date, of $14.56 per share. The Directors' Stock Option Plan is a noncompensatory plan, and therefore no expense was recognized. Effective October 1, 1993, non-employee directors receive annual compensation of $24,000 and a fee of $1,000 for each board meeting or committee meeting attended. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION The Board has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. There is no nominating committee of the Board; nominees for director are selected by the Board of Directors. AUDIT COMMITTEE. Audit Committee members during 1993 were Edwin M. Banks (Chairman) and Raymond H. Kiefer. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the engagement of independent auditors of the Company, reviews the scope and results of audits of the Company, reviews the Company's internal accounting controls and the activities of the Company's internal audit staff and reviews the professional services furnished to the Company by its independent auditors. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. Compensation Committee members during 1993 were Andre C. Dimitriadis (Chairman) and Michael D. Hernandez, whose term as a director expired in February 1994. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the policies relating to and the components of executive officer compensation. 56 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 1994, information concerning ownership of shares of Common Stock by directors and officers.

(4) Includes 500,394 shares that the directors and executive officers have the present right to acquire upon exercise of options and warrants. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS MANAGEMENT SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENT. On July 21, 1992, the Company entered into an employment agreement with William A. Fickling, Jr., the former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. The agreement provided for severance payments upon termination of his employment without cause. Mr. Fickling's employment was so terminated on March 4, 1993, and the Company recorded severance expense of approximately $2.1 million and paid Mr. Fickling approximately $243,000 in incentive bonus under the terms of the agreement. The $2.1 million severance settlement is being paid to Mr. Fickling in semi-monthly installments through September 1995. Upon consummation of the Plan, the Company implemented the 1992 Stock Option Plan. Mr. Fickling was granted options under the 1992 Stock Option Plan to purchase approximately 2.2 million shares at exercise prices of either $4.36 per share or $9.60 per share. Under the terms of the plan, if Mr. Fickling's employment with the Company were terminated without cause and certain financial targets were satisfied, the option prices would be reduced to $.25 per share and all options would become immediately vested. On March 4, 1993, all of Mr. Fickling's options vested and the option prices were reduced to $.25 per share. As of December 31, 1993, Mr. Fickling exercised all such options. AFFILIATE LEASE ARRANGEMENT. The Company owns 50% of the Charter Medical building in Macon, Georgia, and leases approximately 88,000 square feet of office space in such building for use as its corporate headquarters. The lease, which expires on September 30, 1994, provides for average annual rental payments of approximately $1,189,000 (approximately $13.50 average per square foot per year). Mr. Fickling and his father's estate each own 12.5% of the building. During fiscal 1993, each had an interest of approximately $149,000 in rental payments made by the Company. BEECH STREET. On September 15, 1993, the Company sold its 19.8% ownership interest (plus its right to acquire an additional 9.6% interest for approximately $2 million) in Beech Street of California, Inc. ("Beech Street") to the children of Mr. Fickling for approximately $5.5 million, plus the right to receive additional consideration, if certain events (i.e., a public offering of Beech Street stock or the sale of 50% or more of Beech Street's assets) occur within two years. The Company obtained a fairness opinion by an independent appraisal firm stating that the financial consideration was fair. The Company acquired its ownership interest 57 in Beech Street in a series of related transactions beginning in May, 1989, for a total purchase price of $2,956,000. Beech Street was, prior to May, 1989, a wholly owned subsidiary of Beech Street, Inc., in which Mr. Fickling beneficially owns a majority of the outstanding capital stock. During the period of its ownership, the Company received $1,242,000 in dividend distributions from Beech Street. Beech Street provides, among other things, utilization review services and operates preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") in various states. Under agreements effective January 1, 1991, Beech Street provides utilization review services and PPO services for the Company's self-insured medical plans. The Company paid approximately $124,000 to Beech Street during fiscal 1993 for utilization review services. Beech Street's PPO services permit the Company's employees and their covered dependents to utilize a Beech Street PPO. In fiscal 1993, the Company paid Beech Street a fixed fee per enrolled participant for PPO services (which aggregated approximately $87,000). The Company also has agreements with Beech Street where certain of the Company's hospitals provide services to employers (and their related employee and covered dependent groups) who have entered into agreements with Beech Street to utilize a Beech Street PPO for hospital and other healthcare services. Such agreements provide for covered services to be rendered under terms (including discounts for the hospital's normal charges) which management of the Company believes are customary for hospital PPO agreements. The Beech Street PPO reviews claims and serves as an intermediary between the Company's hospitals and the contracting employers. The Company derived approximately $21.4 million in revenues from these agreements during fiscal 1993. The aggregate discount from customary charges was 12% in fiscal 1993. In fiscal 1993, prior to the sale of Beech Street, Beech Street paid approximately $160,000 in management fees and expense reimbursements to Mulberry Street Investment Company ("Mulberry Street"). Mulberry Street provided senior level management and financial services for Beech Street. Mr. Fickling beneficially owns all of the capital stock of Mulberry Street. MANAGEMENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. During fiscal 1991 the Company's Board of Directors, with Mr. Fickling abstaining, authorized the payment by the Company of the reasonable legal expenses and out-of-pocket disbursements of the law firms serving as counsel to Mr. Fickling, his family and related trusts and entities in all matters reasonably related to the Restructuring, which services included not only matters relating to ownership of the Company's formerly outstanding Class B Common Stock and Series B, C and D Preferred Stock, but also services relating to other matters that were reasonable and appropriate to resolve or consider in connection with the Restructuring. During fiscal 1993 the Company paid aggregate fees and expenses of approximately $142,000 to such firms for such services. During fiscal 1993 the Company had two agreements in which Fickling & Walker Company, a licensed real estate brokerage firm of which the estate of Mr. Fickling's father owned 50%, represented the Company in the listing of improved parcels of real estate for sale. Fickling & Walker Company received a $48,750 commission from one such sale and, should the remaining parcel be sold at its estimated sales price, would receive $46,500 in additional commission. Gerald L. McManis, who was elected director on February 18, 1994, is the Chairman of the Board, President and owner of 92% of the stock of McManis Associates, Inc. ("MAI"), a healthcare development and management consulting firm. During fiscal 1993, MAI provided consulting services for the Company related to the development of strategic plans and a review of the Company's business processes. The Company incurred $1,003,000 in fees for such services during fiscal 1993, and reimbursed MAI $128,000 for expenses. THE EXCHANGE OFFER PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER The Company sold the Old Notes to the Initial Purchasers on April 22, 1994 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Initial Purchasers subsequently resold the Old Notes to "qualified institutional buyers" in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act. As a condition to the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed, for the benefit of all holders of the Old Notes, that it would, at its expense, (i) as soon as practicable after the initial issuance of the Old Notes, file a registration statement with the Commission with respect to a registered offer to 58 exchange the Old Notes for the New Notes and (ii) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by August 31, 1994 and cause the New Notes to be listed on a national securities exchange promptly after the consummation of the Exchange Offer. Charter also agreed that upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, it would offer to all holders of the Old Notes an opportunity to exchange their securities for an equal principal amount of the New Notes. Further, Charter agreed that it would keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for not less than 20 business days, but in no event longer than 30 business days (subject to any extensions required by applicable law) after the date such Registration Statement was declared effective and would comply with Regulation 14E and Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (other than the filing requirements of Rule 13e-4). A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The term "Holder" with respect to the Exchange Offer means any person in whose name Old Notes are registered on the books of the Company or any other person who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy certain of the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. Based on existing interpretations of the Staff with respect to similar transactions, the Company believes that the New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder which is an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders are not engaged in, have no arrangement with any person to participate in, and do not intend to engage in, any public distribution of the New Notes. Each broker or dealer registered as such under Section 15 of the Exchange Act receiving New Notes in the Exchange Offer ("Participating Broker-Dealers") will be subject to a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such New Notes. Each Participating Broker-Dealer must acknowledge that it will deliver a resale prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal which accompanies this Prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a resale prospectus, a Participating Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit to be acting in the capacity of an "underwriter" (within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act). This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Participating Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired by such Participating Broker-Dealer as result of market-making or other trading activities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to permit Participating Broker-Dealers and other persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements to use this Prospectus in connection with the resale of such New Notes for a period of 180 days from the date on which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is first declared effective. Each holder of the Old Notes who wishes to exchange its Old Notes for New Notes in the Exchange Offer will be required to make certain representations to the Company in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, including that (i) any New Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement with any person to participate in a public distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the New Notes, and (iii) it is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of the Company, or if it is such an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable to it. In addition, each holder who is not a broker-dealer will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a public distribution of the New Notes. Each Participating Broker-Dealer who receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making or other trading activities, will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver this Prospectus in connection with any resale by it of such New Notes. As a result of both the filing and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and to the extent the Exchange Offer is consummated prior to August 31, 1994, certain prospective increases in the per annum interest rate of the Old Notes provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement will not occur. Accordingly, subject to the aforementioned interpretations of the Staff with respect to the free transferability of the New Notes received by holders in exchange for their Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and, as set forth in such interpretations, the ability of certain holders to 59 participate in the Exchange Offer, holders of Old Notes otherwise eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer and receive pursuant thereto freely tradeable New Notes but who elect not to tender their Old Notes for exchange, will not have any further registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Old Notes not so exchanged will remain "restricted securities" (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act. TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (together, the "Exchange Offer"), the Company will accept for exchange and exchange any and all Old Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Company will issue $1,000 principal amount of New Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Old Notes accepted in the Exchange Offer. Holders may tender some or all of their Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. However, Old Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000. The form and terms of the New Notes are the same as the form and terms of the Old Notes except that (i) the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof, (ii) the holders of the New Notes will not be entitled to certain rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, which rights will terminate when the Exchange Offer is terminated and (iii) the New Notes have been given a series designation to distinguish the New Notes from the Old Notes. The New Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. As of the date of this Prospectus, all $375,000,000 outstanding principal amount of the Old Notes were evidenced by global securities, registered in the name of CEDE & Co., as nominee for DTC, and held by Marine Midland Bank as securities custodian for CEDE & Co. As indicated elsewhere in this Prospectus, the Old Notes have been included in the PORTAL Market for trading among "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. For purposes of administration, the Company has fixed the close of business on , 1994 as the record date for the Exchange Offer for purposes of determining the persons to whom this Prospectus and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal will be mailed initially. There will be no fixed record date for determining generally registered holders of Old Notes entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer. Holders of Old Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the Indenture in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Company intends to conduct the Exchange Offer in accordance with Regulation 14E and Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act (other than the filing requirements of Rule 13e-4). The Company shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when, as and if the Company has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering Holders for the purpose of receiving the New Notes from the Company. If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein under "--Conditions" or otherwise, the certificates for any such unaccepted Old Notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering Holder thereof as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date. See "--Procedures for Tendering." Holders who tender Old Notes in the Exchange Offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Company will pay all charges and expenses, other than transfer taxes in certain circumstances, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See "-- Fees and Expenses." EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; AMENDMENTS The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 1994, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, extends the Exchange Offer, in which case the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended. 60 In order to extend the Exchange Offer, the Company will notify the Exchange Agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will mail to the registered Holders an announcement thereof, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (i) to delay accepting any Old Notes, to extend the Exchange Offer or to terminate the Exchange Offer if any of the conditions set forth below under "-- Conditions" shall not have been satisfied, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the Exchange Agent or (ii) to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner. Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered Holders. If the Exchange Offer is amended in a manner determined by the Company to constitute a material change, the Company will promptly disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered Holders, and the Company will extend the Exchange Offer, in accordance with applicable rules of the Commission and published interpretations of the Staff, for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered Holders, if the Exchange Offer would otherwise expire during such five to ten business day period. Without limiting the manner in which the Company may choose to make public announcement of any delay, extension, amendment or termination of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely release to the Dow Jones News Service. INTEREST ON THE NEW NOTES Each New Note will bear interest from its date of original issuance. Holders of Old Notes that are accepted for exchange and exchanged for New Notes will receive, in cash, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the original issuance date of the New Notes. Such interest will be paid on the first interest payment date for the New Notes. Interest on the Old Notes accepted for exchange and exchanged in the Exchange Offer will cease to accrue on the date next preceding the date of original issuance of the New Notes. The New Notes will bear interest (as do the Old Notes) at a rate per annum of 11 1/4%, which interest will be payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 1994. PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING Only a Holder of Old Notes may participate in the Exchange Offer. The tender to the Exchange Agent of Old Notes by a Holder thereof as set forth below and the acceptance thereof by the Company will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Holder and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. Except as set forth below, a Holder who wishes to tender Old Notes for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer must transmit a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including all other documents required by such Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "Exchange Agent" on or prior to the Expiration Date. In addition, either (i) certificates for such Old Notes must be received by the Exchange Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) a timely Book-Entry Confirmation (as hereinafter defined) of such Old Notes, if such procedure is available, into the Exchange Agent's account at the Depositary (the "Book Entry Transfer Facility") pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date, or (iii) the Holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. By executing the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, each Holder will thereby make to the Company the representations set forth above in the third paragraph under the heading "-- Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer." The tender by a Holder and the acceptance thereof by the Company will constitute an agreement between such Holder and the Company in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OLD NOTES AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT HOLDERS USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT 61 TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. NO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR OLD NOTE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE COMPANY. HOLDERS MAY REQUEST THEIR RESPECTIVE BROKERS, DEALERS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES OR NOMINEES TO EFFECT THE ABOVE TRANSACTIONS FOR SUCH HOLDERS. Any beneficial owner whose Old Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered Holder promptly and instruct such registered Holder to tender on such beneficial owner's behalf. See "Instruction to Registered Holder and/or Book-Entry Transfer Facility Participant from Owner" included with the Letter of Transmittal. Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (as defined below) unless the Old Notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered (i) by a registered Holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Institution. In the event that signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee must be by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an "eligible guarantor institution" within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (an "Eligible Institution"). If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered Holder of any Old Notes listed therein, such Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by such registered Holder as such registered Holder's name appears on such Old Notes with the signature thereon guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If the Letter of Transmittal or any Old Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted with the Letter of Transmittal. The Exchange Agent and DTC have confirmed to the Company that any financial institution that maintains a direct account with DTC (a "Participant") may utilize DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") to tender Old Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Agent will request that DTC establish an account with respect to the Old Notes for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of this Prospectus. Any Participant may effect book-entry delivery of Old Notes by causing DTC to record the transfer of the tendering Participant's beneficial interests in the global Old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account in accordance with DTC's ATOP procedures for such transfer. However, the exchange of New Notes for Old Notes so tendered only will be made after timely confirmation (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") of such book-entry transfer of Old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account, and timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of an Agent's Message (as defined below) and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. The term "Agent's Message" as used herein means a message, transmitted by DTC and received by the Exchange Agent and forming part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a Participant tendering Old Notes for exchange which are the subject of such Book-Entry Confirmation that such Participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Letter of Transmittal, and that the Company may enforce such agreement against such Participant. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance of tendered Old Notes and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered or any Old Notes the Company's acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Old Notes. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal) will be final and 62 binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Although the Company intends to notify Holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old Notes, neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Old Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering Holders, unless otherwise provided in the Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES Holders who wish to tender their Old Notes and (i) whose Old Notes are not immediately available, (ii) who cannot deliver their Old Notes, the Letter of Transmittal or any other required documents to the Exchange Agent or (iii) who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer, prior to the Expiration Date, may effect a tender if: (a) the tender is made through an Eligible Institution; (b) prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent receives from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) setting forth the name and address of the Holder, the certificate number(s) of such Old Notes and the principal amount of Old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) together with the certificate(s) representing the Old Notes (or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent; and (c) such properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificate(s) representing all tendered Old Notes in proper form for transfer (or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal are received by the Exchange Agent within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date. Upon request to the Exchange Agent, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be sent to Holders who wish to tender their Old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above. WITHDRAWAL OF TENDERS Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. To withdraw a tender of Old Notes in the Exchange Offer, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any such notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person having deposited the Old Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depositor"), (ii) identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number(s) and principal amount of such Old Notes, or, in the case of Old Notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited), (iii) be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such Old Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the Trustee with respect to the Old Notes register the transfer of such Old Notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender and (iv) specify the name in which any such Old Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the Depositor. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any Old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no New Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Old Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any Old Notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange, will be returned to the Holder thereof without cost to such Holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, 63 rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Old Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under " -- Procedures for Tendering" at any time prior to the Expiration Date. CONDITIONS Notwithstanding any other term of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange New Notes for, any Old Notes, and may terminate or amend the Exchange Offer as provided herein before the acceptance of such Old Notes, if: (a) any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer which, in the sole judgment of the Company, might materially impair the ability of the Company to proceed with the Exchange Offer or any material adverse development has occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the business or financial affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has occurred which, in the sole judgment of the Company, might materially impair the ability of the Company to proceed with the Exchange Offer; or (c) any law, statute, rule, regulation or interpretation by the Staff is proposed, adopted or enacted, which, in the sole judgment of the Company, might materially impair the ability of the Company to proceed with the Exchange Offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits of the Exchange Offer to the Company; or (d) any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval the Company shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer as contemplated hereby. If the Company determines in its sole discretion that any of the conditions are not satisfied, the Company may (i) refuse to accept any Old Notes and return all tendered Old Notes to the tendering Holders, (ii) extend the Exchange Offer and retain all Old Notes tendered prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer, subject, however, to the rights of Holders to withdraw such Old Notes (see "-- Withdrawal of Tenders") or (iii) waive such unsatisfied conditions with respect to the Exchange Offer and accept all properly tendered Old Notes which have not been withdrawn. If such waiver constitutes a material change to the Exchange Offer, the Company will promptly disclose such waiver by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered Holders, and the Company will extend the Exchange Offer, in accordance with applicable rules of the Commission and published interpretation of the Staff, for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the registered Holders, if the Exchange Offer would otherwise expire during such five to ten business day period. EXCHANGE AGENT Marine Midland Bank has been appointed as Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer. Questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this Prospectus or of the Letter of Transmittal and requests for Notices of Guaranteed Delivery should be directed to the Exchange Agent addressed as follows: Marine Midland Bank Corporate Trust Operations 140 Broadway - "A" Level New York, New York 10005-1180 Telephone: (212) 658-6433 Facsimile: (212) 658-6425 FEES AND EXPENSES The expenses of soliciting tenders will be borne by the Company. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, additional solicitation may be made by telegraph, telephone or in person by officers and regular employees of the Company and its affiliates. The Company has not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the Exchange Offer and will not make any payments to brokers or others soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. The Company, 64 however, will pay the Exchange Agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith and will reimburse the Holders of the Old Notes for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one firm of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Old Notes outstanding within the meaning of the Indenture to act as counsel for all Holders of Old Notes in connection therewith. The cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the Exchange Offer will be paid by the Company. Such expenses include fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent and Trustee, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, certificates representing New Notes or Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered Holder of the Old Notes tendered, or if tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered Holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder. ACCOUNTING TREATMENT The New Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Old Notes, which is face value, as reflected in the Company's accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be be recognized. TERMINATION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS Holders of the New Notes will not be entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed, for the benefit of holders of the Old Notes, that it would, at its expense, (i) as soon as practicable after the initial issuance of the Old Notes, file a registration statement with the Commission with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Old Notes for the New Notes and (ii) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by August 31, 1994 and to cause the New Notes to be listed on a national securities exchange promptly after the consummation of the Exchange Offer. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that applicable interpretations of the Staff do not permit the Company to effect the Exchange Offer or if for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not consummated by August 31, 1994, or if the Initial Purchasers so request with respect to Old Notes not eligible to be exchanged for New Notes in the Exchange Offer or if any holder of Old Notes is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer or does not receive freely tradeable New Notes in the Exchange Offer, the Company will, at its expense, (a) promptly file a shelf registration statement (a "Shelf Registration Statement") permitting resales from time to time of the Old Notes, (b) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and (c) use its best efforts to keep such registration statement current and effective until three years from the date it becomes effective or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Old Notes covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company, at its expense, will provide to each holder of the Old Notes copies of the prospectus that is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, notify each such holder when the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Old Notes from time to time. A holder of Old Notes who sells such Old Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement which are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification obligations). In the event that the Exchange Offer is not consummated pursuant to its terms or the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to August 31, 1994, the interest rate borne by the Old Notes shall be increased by 50 basis points per annum following such date. Such interest rate will increase by an 65 additional 25 basis points per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 60-day period, up to a maximum aggregate increase of 150 basis points per annum. Upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, the interest rate borne by the Old Notes will be reduced from and including the date on which either event occurs by the amount of any such increase over 11 1/4%. See "-- Resales of the New Notes" and "-- Consequences of Failure to Exchange." CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO EXCHANGE The Old Notes that are not exchanged for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain "restricted securities" (within the meaning of the Securities Act). Accordingly, prior to the date that is three years after the later of the date of the original issue thereof and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Old Notes (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date"), such Old Notes may be resold only (i) to the Company, (ii) to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a "qualified institutional buyer" purchasing for its own account or for the account of another "qualified institutional buyer" in compliance with the resale limitations of Rule 144A, (iii) to an "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) that is an institution (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to the Trustee a written certification containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the Notes (the form of which letter can be obtained from the Trustee), (iv) pursuant to the limitations on resale provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), (v) pursuant to the resale provisions of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (vii) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property or the property of such account be at all times within its control and to compliance with applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. RESALES OF THE NEW NOTES With respect to resales of New Notes, based on existing interpretations of the Staff, the Company believes that the New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder which is an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; provided such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders have no arrangement with any person to participate in any public distribution of the New Notes. Each Participating Broker-Dealer receiving New Notes in the Exchange Offer will be subject to a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such New Notes. Each Participating Broker-Dealer must acknowledge that it will deliver a resale prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal which accompanies this Prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a resale prospectus, a Participating Broker-Dealer will be deemed not to be acting in the capacity of an "underwriter" (within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act). This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Participating Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired by such Participating Broker-Dealer as result of market-making or other trading activities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to permit Participating Broker-Dealers and other persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements to use this Prospectus in connection with the resale of such New Notes for a period of 180 days from the date on which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is first declared effective. Each holder of the Old Notes who wishes to exchange its Old Notes for New Notes in the Exchange Offer will be required to make certain representations to the Company in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, including that (i) any New Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement with any person to participate in a public distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the New Notes, and (iii) it is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of the Company, or if it is such an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable to it. In addition, each holder who is not a broker-dealer will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to 66 engage in, a public distribution of the New Notes. Each Participating Broker-Dealer who receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making or other trading activities, will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale by it of such Old Notes. For a description of the procedures for certain resales by broker-dealers, see "Plan of Distribution." PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Each Participating Broker-Dealer that holds Old Notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities (other than Old Notes acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. However, a Participating Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and, therefore, will be required to deliver a prospectus satisfying the requirements of the Act in connection with any resales by it of such New Notes. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Participating Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes in satisfaction of such prospectus-delivery requirement. The delivery by a Participating Broker-Dealer of this Prospectus in connection with resales of New Notes shall not be deemed to be an admission by such Participating Broker-Dealer that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Act. The Company has agreed that it shall cause the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part to remain current and continuously effective for a period of 180 days from the date on which such Registration Statement was first declared effective and that it shall supplement or amend from time to time this Prospectus to the extent necessary to permit this Prospectus (as so supplemented or amended) to be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers in connection with their resales of New Notes. The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers or otherwise. New Notes received by Participating Broker-Dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions, concessions or allowances from any such Participating Broker-Dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Notes. Any Broker-Dealer that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such New Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any commissions, concessions or allowances received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The accompanying Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. For a period 180 days from the date on which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is first declared effective, the Company will deliver to each holder of New Notes, without charge, as many copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus as such person may reasonably request. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer other than commissions, concessions or allowances of any brokers or dealers and certain transfer taxes and will indemnify the holders of the New Notes (including any Participating Broker-Dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to the extent such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient, to contribute to any payments that such Participating Broker-Dealers may be required to make in respect thereof. 67 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES GENERAL The New Notes will be issued under the Indenture, dated May 2, 1994, among the Company, the Guarantors and Marine Midland Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"), pursuant to which the Old Notes were issued. For purposes of the following summary, the Old Notes and the New Notes shall be collectively referred to as the "Notes." The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act") and in effect on the Closing Date. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of the Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement thereof. The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. A copy of the Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The definitions of certain terms used in the following summary are set forth below under "Certain Definitions." Copies of the Indenture will be made available to prospective purchasers of the Notes upon request. The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and senior or PARI PASSU in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Company. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES The Company's payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of any invalidity, illegality, unenforceability of any Note or the Indenture or any extension, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under any Note or the Indenture, or any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Indenture. The obligations of any Guarantor under its Guarantee are subordinated, to the same extent as the obligations of the Company in respect of the Notes, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, which will include any guarantee issued by such Guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness, including Indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the extent necessary to ensure that such Guarantee does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Distributions from Subsidiaries." Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor so long as exercise of such right does not impair the rights of holders of Notes under any Guarantee. A Guarantor shall be released and discharged from its obligations under its Guarantee under certain limited circumstances, including (i) upon the sale or dissolution of such Guarantor, (ii) upon the consummation of any transaction whereupon such Guarantor becomes a Permitted Joint Venture, and (iii) upon the consummation of any transaction whereupon the Company's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Investment in such Guarantor constitutes a Permitted Minority Interest. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not included herein because such Guarantors are jointly and severally liable with respect to the Notes, and the Company believes that separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not material to investors and that the condensed consolidating financial information presented elsewhere in this Prospectus with respect to the Guarantors is more meaningful information in understanding the financial position of the Guarantors. PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST The Notes are limited in aggregate principal amount to $375 million and will mature on April 15, 2004. Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 11 1/4% per annum and will be payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 1994, to the holder of record on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1, whether or not a business day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Notes will be payable both as to principal and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan or, at the option of the Company, payment of 68 interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of holders of Notes. Unless otherwise designated by the Company, the Company's office or agency maintained for such purpose in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan will be the office of the Trustee. The Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to April 15, 1999. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning April 15 of the years indicated below: REDEMPTION YEAR PRICES - ------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- 1999......................................................... 105.625% 2000......................................................... 103.750% 2001......................................................... 101.875% 2002 and thereafter.......................................... 100.000% SINKING FUND The Notes are not subject to the benefit of any sinking fund. SELECTION AND NOTICE If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, provided that Notes shall be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. CHANGE OF CONTROL Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the repurchase of such holder's Notes in whole or in part pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to the Trustee and to each holder stating: (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the "Change of Control" provision of the Indenture and that all Notes tendered and not subsequently withdrawn will be accepted for payment and paid for by the Company; (ii) the purchase price and the purchase date (which shall not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date such notice is mailed) (the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (iii) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest and shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Indenture in all respects; (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment thereof, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; (v) that holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes to be purchased to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the business day next preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (vi) that holders will be entitled to withdraw their election on the terms and conditions set forth in such notice; and (vii) that holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each such new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. On (or, in the case of clause (ii) of this paragraph, at the Company's election, before) the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof tendered and 69 not theretofore withdrawn, pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent immediately available funds sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment, and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Notes so tendered, together with an officer's certificate specifying the Notes or portions thereof tendered to the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each holder of Notes so tendered payment in an amount equal to the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such holder one or more certificates evidencing new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company will comply with the requirements of Regulation 14E and Rule 13e-4 (other than the filing requirements of such rule) under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder that are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes resulting from a Change of Control. SUBORDINATION The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes (including, without limitation, principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. Upon any distribution to creditors upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up, bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, marshalling of assets and liabilities, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings relating to the Company, the holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full of all obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness before the holders of Notes receive any direct or indirect payment (excluding certain permitted equity or subordinated securities) on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. Upon the final maturity of any Specified Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived, rescinded or annulled) or otherwise, all principal thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all accrued and unpaid expenses, fees and other amounts in respect thereof, shall first be paid in full in Cash, or such payment duly provided for in Cash or in a manner otherwise satisfactory to the holders of such Specified Senior Indebtedness, before any direct or indirect payment (excluding certain permitted equity or subordinated securities) is made on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (other than amounts already deposited for defeasance or redemption pursuant to applicable provisions of the Indenture). The Company may not directly or indirectly pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and may not acquire or defease any Notes for Cash or property (in each case, excluding certain permitted equity or subordinated securities) if (i) a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Specified Senior Indebtedness or in the payment of any letter of credit commission under the New Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing that permits, or upon the lapse of time would permit, the holders (or their agent) of such Specified Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity or the maturity of which has been accelerated (a "Payment Default"); or (ii) a default, other than a Payment Default, on any Specified Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing that permits the holders (or the agent) of such Specified Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity (a "Non-Payment Default"), and such default is either the subject of judicial proceedings or the Trustee or the Paying Agent receives a notice of the default from a Person who may give it pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The Trustee in making any payment to the holders shall be entitled to assume that no Payment Default or Non-Payment Default has occurred unless it has received written notice to the contrary at least one business day prior to such payment. A Payment Default or Non-Payment Default with respect to Specified Senior Indebtedness does not suspend the rights of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes to accelerate the maturity of the Notes. See "Events of Default and Remedies." The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall resume payments on the Notes, and the Company may acquire the Notes, upon the earlier of (a) in the case of a Payment Default, the date such Payment Default is cured or waived, or (b) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, the 179th day after receipt of notice if the default is not the subject of judicial proceedings, if otherwise permitted under the terms of the Indenture at that time. During any consecutive 360-day period, only one such 179-day period may commence during which payment of principal of or interest on the Notes may not be made. No Non-Payment Default with respect to Specified 70 Senior Indebtedness which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any such 179-day period will be, or can be, made the basis for the commencement of a second such 179-day period, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. As of May 31, 1994, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors was approximately $147.3 million.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by such holders) (the "Acceleration Notice"), may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on such Notes to be due and payable, (i) immediately if no amount is outstanding and no commitment is in effect under the Specified Senior Indebtedness or (ii) if any amount is outstanding or any commitment is in effect under the Specified Senior Indebtedness, upon the earlier of (A) five business days after delivery of the Acceleration Notice by the Trustee or the holders, as the case may be, to the Company and the agent or another designated representative of the holders of each and any Specified Senior Indebtedness outstanding or (B) acceleration of the Specified Senior Indebtedness, and thereupon the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the holders of the Notes by appropriate judicial proceedings. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest shall be due and payable. If an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall IPSO FACTO become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Company, the Trustee or any holder. The holders of at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, except an acceleration due to default in payment of principal or interest on the Notes upon conditions provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Indenture, the holders of at least a 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Notes or a Default under a provision which requires consent of all holders to amend. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist, but no waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. A holder of Notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless: (i) the holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (ii) the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Notes outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such holder or holders offer to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt thereof and the offer of indemnity or security; and (v) during such 30-day period the holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction which is inconsistent with the request. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver a statement to the Trustee specifying such Default or Event of Default. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE OF THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES The Indenture provides that the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes ("legal defeasance"). Such legal defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, except for (i) the rights of holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely out of the trust described below payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interests on such Notes when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the Company with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, replacing mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and (iv) the defeasance provisions of the Indenture. The Company and the Guarantors may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations under the provisions "Certain Covenants" and "Change of Control" discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees thereof ("covenant defeasance"). Such covenant defeasance means that, with 78 respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees thereof, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such provisions and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default. In order to exercise defeasance, (i) the Company must have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the Indenture), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity of such principal (and premium, if any) or installment of interest or upon redemption; (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel stating that the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred, which such opinion, in the case of legal defeasance, will state that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Closing Date there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax laws or regulations or (C) there exists controlling precedent to such effect; (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; (iv) such defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and (v) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such defeasance have been satisfied. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE A holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar is not required to register a transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Registrar is not required to register a transfer or exchange of any Note for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption offer. The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived (other than a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest on any Note) with the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting holder of Notes) (i) reduce the percentage of principal amount of the Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver, (ii) change the stated maturity or the time or currency of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or any interest on, any Note or alter the redemption provisions with respect thereto, (iii) make any change in the subordination provisions of the Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of the Notes under the subordination provisions of the Indenture, (iv) waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, (v) make any change to the "Change of Control" provisions of the Indenture or the provisions relating to the Excess Proceeds Offer, (vi) make any change to the "Anti-Layering" covenant, the "Additional Guarantors" covenant or the "Payment for Consent" covenant of the Indenture, (vii) make any change in the guarantee provisions of this Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of the Notes or (viii) make any change in the provision of the Indenture containing the terms described in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any holder of the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for certificated or uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated or uncertificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that does not adversely affect the 79 rights of any holder of the Notes, to supplement the Indenture to provide for additional Guarantors or to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture or the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign. The holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care and skill of a prudent man under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any of the holders of the Notes, unless they shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. FORM AND BOOK-ENTRY PROCEDURES GLOBAL NOTE; BOOK-ENTRY FORM. The New Notes will initially be evidenced by three global certificates ("Global Notes") in definitive, fully registered form, without coupons, in the name of CEDE & Co. or another designated nominee ("DTC's Nominee") of DTC. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be exchangeable for certificated Notes as set forth in the Indenture. So long as DTC or DTC's Nominee is the registered holder and owner of a Global Note evidencing the New Notes, DTC or DTC's Nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the underlying New Notes for all purposes of such New Notes and under the Indenture. In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, DTC will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the respective principal amounts of New Notes evidenced by the Global Notes deposited with it to the accounts of institutions that directly maintain accounts with DTC or DTC's Nominee ("participants"). Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to participants or Persons for whom such participants serve as nominee or custodian. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be identified on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants' interests) or such participants (with respect to the beneficial owners for whom such participants serve as nominee or custodian). Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC or DTC's Nominee of their purchase of Notes, but instead, should receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant in DTC's system through which the beneficial owner executed the purchase transaction. Transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes will be effected by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Global Notes will be made to DTC or DTC's Nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder thereof. DTC or DTC's Nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note evidencing any Notes held by it or DTC's Nominee, will immediately credit direct participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Note for such Notes as reflected in the records maintained by DTC or DTC's Nominee. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name." Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's customary procedures and will be settled in next-day funds. The laws of certain U.S. states require that certain Persons take only physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note 80 to such Persons may be limited. Because DTC can act only on behalf of its direct participants, who, in turn, act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks, the ability of a Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Note to pledge such interest to Persons or entities that do not participate directly in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interest or exercise rights of beneficial ownership in the Global Notes, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interest. DTC will take action permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose DTC account interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. DTC is (i) a limited purpose trust company organized under the banking laws of the State of New York (and is a "banking organization" within the meaning of such laws), (ii) a member of the Federal Reserve System, (iii) a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, and (iv) a "Clearing Agency" registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical transfer and delivery of certificates. Direct participants in the DTC services system include securities brokers and dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, and may include certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants and by each of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Commission. Neither DTC nor DTC's Nominee will consent or vote in any manner with respect to the Notes. Pursuant to its customary procedures, in the case of any matter as to which the consent or vote of holders of the Notes is sought, DTC will mail an Omnibus Proxy to the Company as soon as practicable after the record date for the determination of holders eligible to consent or vote on the matter to be acted upon. The Omnibus Proxy serves to assign DTC's Nominee's right to consent or vote to the direct participants whose accounts it maintains as of the record date. Notices of redemption and repurchase with respect to Notes held by direct participants in the DTC system will be forwarded to DTC's Nominee. In the case of a partial redemption, DTC's practice is to determine, by lot, the amount of the beneficial interest in the Notes to be redeemed of each of its direct participants. Beneficial owners who elect to participate in a tender offer or purchase of their securities, must provide notice of such election, through its participant (direct or indirect) in DTC's system, to the appropriate depositary, tender or purchase agent, and effect delivery of their Notes by causing the direct participant in DTC's system to transfer the indirect participant's interest in the Notes, as reflected in DTC's records, to such depositary, tender or purchase agent. The requirement for physical delivery of certificates evidencing the Notes in connection with the aforementioned transactions will be deemed satisfied when the beneficial ownership rights in the Global Notes are transferred by direct participants on DTC's records. The conveyance of all notices and other communications by DTC to its direct participants, among DTC's participants (direct and indirect) and by DTC's participants (direct and indirect) to owners of beneficial interests in the Notes is governed by customary arrangements among them, subject to statutory or regulatory requirements in effect with respect thereto from time to time. Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interest in the Global Notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. 81 The information set forth above concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources believed by the Company to be reliable, but the Company assumes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the New Company Credit Agreement and the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement. This summary is not a complete description of the New Company Credit Agreement and the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the New Company Credit Agreement and the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. THE FACILITY The New Company Credit Agreement provides for a five-year reducing, revolving credit facility in favor of the Company in an aggregate committed amount of up to $300 million (the "Revolving Credit Commitment"). The Revolving Credit Commitment also will be available to the Subsidiary Borrowers under the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement. Extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitment will be subject to certain customary conditions precedent and may take the form of revolving loans or letters of credit (up to an aggregate amount for letters of credit of $275 million) and shall be used (i) to refinance certain mortgage indebtedness of certain subsidiaries of the Company in the principal amount of approximately $14.7 million and the loans to certain subsidiaries of the Company outstanding under the existing credit agreements in the principal amount of approximately $46.8 million, which refinancing occurred on May 2, 1994, (ii) for continued credit enhancement of certain currently outstanding variable rate demand notes issued by or for the benefit of certain Subsidiary Borrowers, (iii) to pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Acquisition, the sale of the Notes and the entering into of the New Credit Agreement, and (iv) for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance in part the Acquisition and to finance other permitted acquisitions and investments. At June 30, 1994, approximately $72.6 million in loans and $73.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Commitment. The Company expects to borrow additional amounts under the Revolving Credit Commitment in connection with the Acquisition of the remaining Target Hospitals covered by the First Facilities Agreement and the Target Hospitals covered by the Subsequent Facilities Agreement. COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS AND REPAYMENTS The Revolving Credit Commitment will automatically be reduced by the amounts and on the dates indicated below: AMOUNT DATE - -------------- ----------------- $ 25,000,000 March 31, 1996 50,000,000 March 31, 1997 50,000,000 March 31, 1998 175,000,000 March 31, 1999 In addition to the scheduled reductions above and certain other mandatory reductions, the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to 70% (or if a default or an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain asset sales, (ii) by an amount equal to 25% (or if a default or an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain issuances or sales of the Company's capital stock or other equity interests, except that no such reduction shall be required if the Company meets specified financial ratios and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) by an amount equal to the principal amount of permitted subordinated indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Notes) subject to a required repurchase or repurchase offer by the Company as a result of any asset sale. All 88 such reductions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) shall be applied first on a PRO RATA basis to all scheduled reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitment other than the last scheduled reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment, and thereafter to the last scheduled reduction. INTEREST The loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Commitment bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the sum of the Base Lending Rate plus 3/4%, or (b) at the option of the Company, the sum of the maximum reserve-adjusted one, two, three or six-month LIBOR plus 1 3/4%. The Base Lending Rate is the higher of (x) the rate announced from time to time as BTCo's prime lending rate, (y) the Federal Reserve's reported weekly average dealer offering rate for three-month certificates of deposit, adjusted for maximum reserves, plus 1/2 of 1%, and (z) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%. At June 15, 1994, the interest rate per annum for amounts outstanding pursuant to the Revolving Credit Commitment was 6.125%. The applicable interest rates for loans bearing interest on the basis of the Base Lending Rate or LIBOR will be reduced by 1/4 of 1% per annum if at any time the Company meets a specified financial ratio and the Company's permitted subordinated indebtedness is given certain specified ratings by Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Services, Inc. and will be reduced by an additional 1/4 of 1% per annum if at any time the Company meets a certain more restrictive financial ratio and the Company's permitted subordinated indebtedness is given certain specified higher ratings by Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Services, Inc. Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Base Lending Rate plus 2.75% per annum, and (ii) the sum of the interest rate otherwise applicable to such overdue amount plus 2.00% per annum. COMMISSIONS, FEES AND EXPENSES The Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers will pay, on a monthly basis in arrears, a commitment commission equal to 1/2 of 1% per annum of the daily average unutilized Revolving Credit Commitment. The commitment commission will be reduced to 3/8 of 1% per annum if at any time the Company meets a specified financial ratio and the Company's permitted subordinated indebtedness is given specified ratings by Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Services, Inc. The Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers will pay, on a monthly basis in arrears, a letter of credit commission equal to 1.75% per annum of the daily average amount available to be drawn under letters of credit under the New Company Credit Agreement or the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement. Letter of credit commissions will be reduced at all times and to the extent that the interest rate for Base Rate Loans provided above is reduced. The Company will also pay customary fees to issuing banks in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. The Agent will receive an annual fee, payable in advance in an amount previously agreed upon, as compensation for its services as Agent. The Company has reimbursed the Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs in connection with the arrangement and commitment of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the preparation, execution and delivery of documentation evidencing the Revolving Credit Commitment, and will reimburse the Agent for such expenses and costs in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of documentation relating to waivers, consents and amendments thereof, including the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of the Agent's counsel. In addition to the foregoing, the Company paid to BTCo for its account certain fees for the arrangement and committment of the Revolving Credit Commitment. GUARANTEES The New Company Credit Agreement and the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's existing subsidiaries and will also be guaranteed by each future 95% or more owned restricted subsidiary (other than certain foreign subsidiaries) of the Company having assets in excess of $500,000 or owning capital stock of such a subsidiary (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The Company shall continue to guarantee the obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers under the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement. 89 SECURITY The Company's and the Subsidiary Borrowers' obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' guarantees of such obligations, are secured by substantially the same collateral securing the existing credit agreements, which includes substantially all of the real and personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including pledges of all or a portion of the capital stock of substantially all of the Company's operating subsidiaries. Future Subsidiary Guarantors will be required to secure their respective guarantees of the New Company Credit Agreement and the New Subsidiary Credit Agreement with their respective personal property (other than the personal property of unrestricted subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries) but, subject to certain exceptions, shall not be required to grant liens on any of their respective real property. AFFIRMATIVE, NEGATIVE AND FINANCIAL COVENANTS LIMITATIONS ON ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS. The New Credit Agreement prohibits incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company and its "restricted subsidiaries" (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) subject to the following exceptions: (a) subject to the satisfaction of certain financial incurrence tests, (i) the Company may incur up to an additional $125 million of subordinated indebtedness and (ii) the Company and its wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries may incur up to $75 million additional unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding at any time, provided that no more than $25 million may be incurred by wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries; (b) foreign restricted subsidiaries may incur up to $50 million of indebtedness outstanding at any time in connection with letters of credit or bonds obtained in connection with contracts for foreign projects ("Foreign Contracts Credit Support"); (c) the Company and its subsidiaries may incur certain intercompany indebtedness; (d) the Company and its subsidiaries may incur certain types of indebtedness in the ordinary course of business; and (e) restricted subsidiaries that are less than 95% owned may (i) incur indebtedness as a result of the contribution by the Company's and its subsidiaries' joint venture partners of assets securing such indebtedness and (ii) incur up to $75 million of other indebtedness outstanding at any time for all such joint ventures; provided that, the indebtedness described in this clause (e) shall be, in general, without recourse (by law or contract) to the Company and its other restricted subsidiaries.

After the aggregate fair market value of assets over $200,000 sold exceeds $50 million, the sale of any asset with a fair market value greater than $5 million (excluding permitted investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures) requires consent of a specified percentage of the banks and other financial institutions that are parties to the New Credit Agreement.

See "Description of the New Notes." 91 FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER The following is a description of the material federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offer to the holders of the Old Notes and the Company. The Company's counsel has issued an opinion to the Company, which opinion was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, the material federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offer to the holders of the Old Notes and to the Company are fairly and accurately set forth below. The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer should not constitute a material modification of the Old Notes and, accordingly, such exchange should not constitute an exchange for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, such exchange should have no federal income tax consequences to holders of Old Notes, either to those who exchange their Old Notes for New Notes or those who do not so exchange their Old Notes, and each holder of Old Notes would continue to be required to include interest on the Old Notes in its gross income in accordance with its method of accounting for federal income tax purposes. If the exchange of Old Notes for New Notes constitutes an exchange for federal income tax purposes, and both the Old Notes and the New Notes constitute "securities" for federal income tax purposes (which determination generally is made by reference to the initial term of the debt instrument, with debt instruments with initial terms of ten years or more being generally treated as securities and debt instruments with initial terms of less than five years being generally treated as not securities), a holder of Old Notes would recognize no gain or loss on the consummation of the Exchange Offer. If, in such event, the Old Notes or the New Notes did not constitute securities, (i) a holder would recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the "issue price" of the New Notes and (b) the holder's adjusted tax basis in the Old Notes exchanged therefor, and (ii) (a) gain, if any, recognized by a holder on the exchange generally would be capital gain (if the Old Notes were held by such holder as capital assets), and would be short-term capital gain if the holder's holding period in the Old Notes was not more than one year, (b) a holder's initial tax basis in the New Notes would be their "issue price" determined on the date of the exchange, and (c) a holder's holding period for the New Notes would begin on the day after the date of the exchange. In each case, depending on the issue price of the New Notes, which would be determined on the date of exchange, a holder might be required to include original issue discount in gross income for federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of cash in respect thereof.

F-58 Note to unaudited combined condensed financial statements.............................................. F-59 F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Charter Medical Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Charter Medical Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1992 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 1991, the ten months ended July 31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 financial position of Charter Medical Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1992 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended September 30, 1991, the ten months ended July 31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Notes 1 and 2, the Company's reorganization plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on July 8, 1992 and became effective on July 21, 1992 (effective on July 31, 1992 for financial reporting purposes). In accordance with Statement of Position No. 90-7 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," the Company was required to account for the reorganization using fresh start reporting. Accordingly, all consolidated financial statements prior to July 31, 1992 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements for periods after the implementation of fresh start reporting. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the index to the exhibits and financial statement schedules are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as whole.

No allocation was made for periods prior to July 31, 1992, as the Company recorded no tax provision related to operations. On September 15, 1993, the Company sold its interest in Beech Street of California, Inc. ("Beech Street") (see Note 12). Beech Street operates preferred provider networks and provides utilization review services to third parties. Immediately prior to the sale, the Company owned 71.1% of the voting stock and 19.8% of the equity ownership of Beech Street. The operations of Beech Street were consolidated with the Company. Summarized results of Beech Street's operations were as follows (in thousands): TEN MONTHS TWO MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED JULY ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 31, SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1991 1992 1992 1993 ------------- ----------- ------------- ------------- Net revenue............................................ $ 14,400 $ 16,671 $ 4,148 $ 25,596 Operating and administrative, bad debt and minority interest expenses..................................... 13,623 15,819 3,921 24,334 Other expenses, including income taxes................. 812 186 44 550 ------------- ----------- ------ ------------- Net income (loss)...................................... $ (35) $ 666 $ 183 $ 712 ------------- ----------- ------ ------------- ------------- ----------- ------ ------------- The net assets, results of operations and the gains on the sales of the general hospitals and Beech Street have been reported in the accompanying financial statements as discontinued operations. Therefore, the financial statements for all prior periods presented have been restated to segregate these amounts from continuing operations. F-7 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 1. STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY (CONTINUED) CONSUMMATION OF THE RESTRUCTURING On June 2, 1992, the Company filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). The prepackaged plan of reorganization (the "Plan") effected a restructuring of the Company's debt and equity capitalization (the "Restructuring"). No subsidiaries of the Company were included in the filing. The Court confirmed the Company's Plan on July 8, 1992, and the Plan became effective on July 21, 1992 (the "Effective Date"). The consummation of the Plan resulted in, among other things, (i) a reduction of approximately $700 million in long-term debt, (ii) elimination of $233 million of preferred stock and (iii) the issuance of approximately 24.8 million shares of Common Stock to certain holders of debt securities, the preferred stockholders and common stockholders. Under the Plan, holders of claims and interests that were impaired received the following: FOR EACH $1,000 OF PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OR SHARE, AS APPLICABLE, OF: THE HOLDER RECEIVED: - ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ 13% Senior Discount Notes, representing an accreted $984.72 principal amount of Senior Secured Notes value of $984.72 at June 30, 1991 14% Senior Subordinated Debentures $430.98 principal amount of 7.5% Senior Subordinated Debentures and 38.681 shares of Common Stock 14.25% Subordinated Debentures $235.00 principal amount of 7.5% Senior Subordinated Debentures and 20.743 shares of Common Stock 15.85% Junior Subordinated Debentures 15.749 shares of Common Stock Series A Preferred Stock .357 of a share of Common Stock and .165 of a 2002 Warrant Series B Preferred Stock .882 of a share of Common Stock Series C Preferred Stock .539 of a share of Common Stock Series D Preferred Stock .011 of a share of Common Stock Common Stock .050 of a share of Common Stock As a result of the consummation of the Plan, the financing under the $880 Million Credit Agreement between the Company and certain banks dated September 1, 1988, was replaced by new facilities under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 21, 1992, among the Company and certain banks (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement includes the Tranche A facility (the "Tranche A Facility"), the Tranche B facility (the "Tranche B Facility") and a new facility (the "Tranche C Facility") in the maximum principal amount of $75 million, subject to availability. Upon consummation of the Plan, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain on debt discharge of approximately $731 million which represented forgiveness of debt, principal and interest, reduced by the estimated fair value of common stock issued to certain debtholders of the Company. The Company's long-term debt was stated at the present value of amounts to be paid, based on market interest rates on July 31, 1992. This adjustment to present value resulted in an aggregate carrying amount for the Company's long-term debt which was less than the aggregate principal amount thereof, and will result in the amortization of the difference into interest expense over the terms of the debt instruments or, upon extinguishment of the debt prior to scheduled maturity, will result in a loss on debt extinguishment. F-8 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 2. FRESH START REPORTING The Company has accounted for the Restructuring by using the principles of fresh start accounting, as required by AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" due to the loss of control by the holders of the existing voting shares immediately before consummation of the Plan and because the reorganization value of approximately $1.3 billion is less than the total of liabilities before consummation of the Plan. These owners received less than 8% of the voting shares of the emerging entity. For accounting purposes, the Company assumed that the Plan was consummated on July 31, 1992. Under the principles of fresh start accounting, the Company's total assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization value, with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable tangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company's property and equipment was reduced and its intangible assets were written off. In addition, the Company's accumulated deficit, common stock in treasury and cumulative foreign currency adjustments were eliminated. The excess of the reorganization value over the value of identifiable assets is reported as "reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets" (the "Excess Reorganization Value"). The total reorganization value assigned to the Company's assets was estimated by calculating projected cash flows before debt service requirements, for a five-year period, plus an estimated terminal value of the Company (calculated using a multiple of approximately six (6) on projected EBITDA (which is net revenue less operating and administrative and bad debt expenses)), each discounted back to its present value using a discount rate of 12% (representing the estimated after-tax weighted cost of capital). This amount was approximately $1.2 billion and was increased by (i) the estimated net realizable value of assets to be sold of approximately $53 million and (ii) estimated cash in excess of normal operating requirements of approximately $48.5 million. The above calculations resulted in an estimated reorganization value of approximately $1.3 billion, of which the Excess Reorganization Value was $225 million, of which $129 million related to continuing operations. The Excess Reorganization Value is being amortized over three years. The Company believed three years was a reasonable life for this intangible asset because of uncertainties about the industry in 1992 as reflected in the Company's declining average inpatient length of stay,declining inpatient days, increased outpatient visits, and the fact that two competitors announced their intentions to close or sell certain psychiatric hospitals. The results of operations for the ten months ended July 31, 1992, show a reorganization item to adjust accounts to fair value which consists of: Excess Reorganization Value................................................. $ 225,000 Deferred Compensation Expense in excess of cash settlement amounts.......... 45,158 Reduction of Property and Equipment.........................................

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1993 presentation. For accounting purposes, the Company assumed that the Plan was consummated on July 31, 1992. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993 are presented for the Company after the consummation of the Plan. As discussed above, these statements were prepared under the principles of fresh start accounting and are not comparable F-10 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) to the statements of prior periods. Accordingly, a line has been used to separate the financial statements of the Company after the consummation of the Plan from those of the Company prior to the consummation of the Plan. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT As a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting, property and equipment were adjusted to their estimated fair value as of July 31, 1992 and historical accumulated depreciation was eliminated. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts; however, replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. The Company removes the cost and related accumulated depreciation from the accounts for property sold or retired, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Property and equipment are written down to an estimated net realizable value when determined to be held for sale. Amortization of capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation is provided substantially on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes; however, certain subsidiaries use accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Upon implementation of fresh start accounting, the average of the remaining useful lives of buildings and improvements was approximately 22 years. The general range of estimated useful lives is three to ten years for equipment. EXCESS REORGANIZATION VALUE Excess Reorganization Value is being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Amortization expense for the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993 was $7.2 million and $42.7 million, respectively. The unamortized Excess Reorganization Value of $58.6 million attributable to the general hospitals sold on September 30, 1993, reduced the gain from the disposal of such hospitals. Excess Reorganization Value was reduced by approximately $21 million during fiscal 1993 to reflect the recognition of tax benefits related to pre-Plan tax loss carryforwards. (See Note 8.) FOREIGN CURRENCY Changes in the cumulative translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities are presented as a separate component of stockholders' equity (deficit). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, which were not material, are included in operations as incurred. NET REVENUE Net revenue is based on established billing rates, less estimated allowances for patients covered by Medicare and other contractual reimbursement programs and discounts from established billing rates. Amounts received by the Company for treatment of patients covered by Medicare and other contractual reimbursement programs, which may be based on cost of services provided or predetermined rates, are generally less than the established billing rates of the Company's hospitals. Final determination of amounts earned under contractual reimbursement programs is subject to review and audit by the appropriate agencies. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from such reviews. CHARITY CARE The Company provides care without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policies. Because the Company does not pursue collection of amounts determined to be charity care, they are not reported as revenue. For fiscal year 1991 and the ten months ended July 31, 1992, the Company provided, at its established billing rates, approximately $34.2 million and $30 million, respectively, of such care. For the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993, the Company provided, at its established billing rates, approximately $5.8 million and $35.7 million, respectively, of such care. F-11 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INTEREST, NET The Company records interest expense net of capitalized interest and interest income. Interest income for fiscal year 1991, the ten months ended July 31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1992 was approximately $8 million, $6.7 million, $.8 million, and $3.6 million, respectively. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid interest-bearing investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, consisting primarily of money market instruments. ASSETS RESTRICTED FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF UNPAID CLAIMS Assets restricted for the settlement of unpaid claims include marketable securities which are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Transfer of such investments from the insurance subsidiaries to the Company or any of its other subsidiaries is subject to approval under the Credit Agreement and by certain regulatory authorities. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Net loss per common share for the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993 was computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents (primarily options outstanding under the 1992 Stock Option Plan) were not dilutive and therefore were not included in the calculation. Per share amounts for the periods ended September 30, 1991 and July 31, 1992 have not been presented because they are not meaningful due to the implementation of fresh start accounting and the substantial change in the number of shares outstanding subsequent to the consummation of the Plan. INVESTMENTS Effective with the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1994 the Company will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). Under SFAS 115, investments are to be classified into three categories: held to maturity, available for sale, and trading. Unrealized holding gains or losses shall be recorded for trading and available for sale securities. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 115 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statement or results of operations. 4. PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS In response to its financial difficulties in fiscal 1990, the Company developed an operating plan, which included a divestiture plan for certain hospitals that were not performing well. The financial difficulties the Company was experiencing related to the Company's inability to make all its debt service payments. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1991, the Company recorded, in addition to amounts recorded in fiscal 1990, a charge of $45 million to reflect revised estimates of the net recoverable value of hospitals to be sold or closed ($3.4 million), closing costs and estimated net operating losses to the estimated disposal date of certain facilities ($2.9 million), additional fees for certain financial advisors ($20 million), ESOP litigation related to the restructuring ($13.5 million) and legal and other costs for the Restructuring ($5.2 million). The additional fees were the result of the additional time required to complete the Restructuring. As of September 30, 1990, the original divestiture plan included 11 psychiatric hospitals and three general hospitals ("the Noncore Hospitals") which the Company did not consider part of its core operations and therefore planned to sell, lease or close. As of August 1, 1992, a psychiatric hospital was added to the Noncore Hospitals and a general hospital was removed from the group and no longer held for sale. As of October 1, 1993 a psychiatric hospital was removed from the Noncore Hospitals. F-12 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 4. PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Of the two general hospitals remaining in the divestiture plan, one hospital was included in the sale of the general hospitals discussed in Note 1, and the other hospital along with its related medical office building, a leased facility, was closed in fiscal 1992 and is held for sublease. Of the 11 psychiatric hospitals in the revised divestiture plan, five have been sold, two have been leased, one was a leased facility and the lease has been terminated and three have been closed and are held for sale or sublease. Additionally 2 psychiatric hospitals not included in the divestiture plan have been sold and a psychiatric hospital has been closed and is held for sale which was not originally in the divestiture plan.

The Company also sold a substantially completed psychiatric hospital in October 1992. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1993, includes the following amounts related to the five hospitals and related medical office building, along with a number of parcels of unimproved real estate, held for disposition: Current assets..................................... $ 490 Property and equipment, net........................ 25,634 Other assets....................................... 12 Current liabilities................................ 6,964 5. BENEFIT PLANS The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), a noncontributory retirement plan that enables eligible employees to participate in the ownership of the Company. The ESOP borrowed approximately $455 million from the Company to acquire its ownership interest. At September 30, 1993, the ESOP owed the Company approximately $107.6 million. F-13 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 5. BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) The Company has recorded unearned compensation to reflect the cost of Common Stock purchased by the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants' accounts. In the period that shares are allocated, or projected to be allocated, to participants, ESOP expense is recorded and unearned compensation is reduced. Interest expense on the remaining portion of the debt incurred to finance the ESOP transaction amounted to $26,965,000 and $16,169,000 for fiscal 1991 and the ten months ended July 31, 1992, respectively, and $2,472,000 and $10,380,000 for the two months ended September 30, 1992 and fiscal 1993, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the statements of operations. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the ESOP qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such determination allows the Company to deduct its contributions to the ESOP for federal income tax purposes. In settlement of a class action lawsuit in April 1992, the Company agreed to (i) reduce by $30 million certain of the amounts owed to the Company by the ESOP; (ii) make payments totalling approximately $12 million for certain participants of the ESOP with such payments made through contributions to the 401-K Plan (as defined below), or in the event of the termination of such participants, directly to the participants and (iii) pay approximately $500,000 to certain former employees. The Company included, in the provision for restructuring of operations recorded in fiscal 1991, accruals for this settlement. (See Note 4) During fiscal 1992, the Company reinstated its cash accumulation plan (the "401-K Plan"), which had been discontinued as of January 1, 1988, upon the adoption of the ESOP. Effective January 1, 1992, employee participants could elect to voluntarily contribute up to 5% of their compensation to the 401-K Plan. Upon consummation of the Restructuring, on July 21, 1992, the 401-K Plan was amended and restated. Effective October 1, 1992, the Company began making contributions to the 401-K Plan based on employee compensation and contributions. The Company makes a discretionary contribution of 2% of each employee's compensation and matches 50% of each employee's contribution up to 3% of their compensation. During the year ended September 30, 1993, the Company made contributions of $2,539,000 to the 401-K Plan.

The aggregate scheduled maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations during the five years subsequent to September 30, 1993, follow: 1994 - -- $70,957,000; 1995 -- $31,868,000; 1996 -- $15,138,000; 1997 -- $69,405,000; and 1998 -- $1,638,000. The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1993 includes an extraordinary after-tax loss of $8,561,000 on early extinguishment of debt. This loss includes interest and fees incurred upon the retirement of the Senior Secured Notes, certain debt under the Credit Agreement and mortgages on the general hospitals and the write-off of the unamortized discount or premium remaining on the Bank Financing as a result of the prepayments made during 1993. CREDIT AGREEMENT The Bank Financing consists of the Tranche A Facility, the Tranche B Facility and the Tranche C Facility. TRANCHE A FACILITY Loans outstanding under the Tranche A Facility bear interest, payable monthly in arrears, at the following per annum rates: (i) from July 21, 1992 to and including June 30, 1993, Bankers Trust Company's Prime Lending Rate (the "Prime Rate", 6.0% at September 30, 1993); (ii) from July 1, 1993 to and including June 30, 1995, the Prime Rate plus .5% per annum; (iii) from July 1, 1995 to and including June 30, 1996, the Prime Rate plus .75% per annum; and (iv) from July 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997, the date of maturity, the Prime Rate plus 1% per annum. F-15 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LEASES (CONTINUED) In addition, the Tranche A Facility provides for the support of letters of credit securing certain outstanding industrial development bonds. Borrowings pursuant to the Tranche A Facility with respect to letter of credit drawings will bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 1.5% per annum for the first $40 million drawn and the Prime Rate plus 1% per annum for amounts drawn in excess of $40 million, in each case payable monthly in arrears. The Tranche A Facility requires the payment of a commission in connection with the support of letters of credit equal to 1.5% per annum, and the issuing banks' commitment also provides for the payment of a commission, in each case based on the daily average maximum aggregate amount that can be drawn under the letters of credit. As of September 30, 1993, letters of credit totalling approximately $73 million were outstanding under the Tranche A Facility. TRANCHE B FACILITY The financial institutions participating in the Tranche B Facility were allowed to select between two interest rate options. Accordingly, approximately 75% of the borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Tranche B Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.375% per annum, with the remaining portion bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to 85% of the interest rate applicable to the Tranche A Facility, in each case payable monthly in arrears. Under the federal income tax laws, certain financial institutions are eligible to exclude from their gross income 50% of the interest received on loans of the type contemplated by the Tranche B Facility. The Credit Agreement provides that if an eligible holder of a loan under the Tranche B Facility loses any right to such interest exclusion, then the Company will be required to reimburse such holder in an amount based on the tax benefits lost by such holder plus penalties, interest and additions to the tax assessed against such holder. In addition, the interest rate on such loan will be increased by an amount sufficient to reimburse such holder for the loss of any such tax benefits. In the event mandatory principal repayments, as described below, with respect to the Tranche B Facility exceed applicable federal income tax limitations for purposes of deductibility, such excess will be applied instead to loans under the Tranche A Facility. TRANCHE C FACILITY Borrowings pursuant to the Tranche C Facility may not exceed the lesser of $75 million or the aggregate amount of the Company's voluntary prepayments of loans outstanding under the Tranche A and Tranche B Facilities. Loans outstanding under the Tranche C Facility bear interest at the same rates applicable to the Tranche A Facility. The Company may permanently reduce the banks' commitment with respect to the Tranche C Facility, subject to certain minimum amounts. The conditions to borrowings under the Tranche C Facility include the absence of any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement and a minimum borrowing of $5 million. The Company pays a commitment fee equal to .5% per annum on the daily average amount of available commitment under the Tranche C Facility. The Company currently has an available commitment of $50 million under the Tranche C Facility. MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS The Company is required to make certain prepayments to the Banks, which consist of (i) 80% of Excess Cash Flow (which, as defined by the Credit Agreement, is net income or loss adjusted for all non-cash items and certain cash items affecting net income or loss, plus certain other cash inflows (for example, certain asset sales proceeds), reduced by debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash outflows (for example, cash income tax payments) for each fiscal year), (ii) 100% of the Excess Cash (which, as defined by the Credit Agreement, is the amount by which cash and cash equivalents, as adjusted for certain items, exceeds $100 million as of each September 30) and (iii) 75% of net proceeds of asset sales. On October 14, 1993, the Company made prepayments totalling $13.9 million to the Banks which represented F-16 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LEASES (CONTINUED) estimated Excess Cash at September 30, 1993 and such amounts are included in current maturities at September 30, 1993. Additionally, on October 6, 1993, the Company made mandatory prepayments of approximately $3.2 million to the Banks which represented asset sale proceeds. SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS The Company is required to make principal payments, with respect to the Tranche A Facility, of (i) $2.5 million on each March 31 and September 30 through September 30, 1995, (ii) $5 million each on March 31 and September 30, 1996, (iii) $25 million on March 31, 1997 and (iv) the remaining balance due on September 30, 1997. The Company is also required to make payments of approximately $23 million each on the Tranche B Facility on March 31 and September 30, 1994, approximately $14.3 million on March 31, 1995 and the remaining balance due on September 30, 1995. Any mandatory prepayments made by the Company on the Tranche A Facility and the Tranche B Facility, including the October 1993 prepayments discussed above, are applied to the final payments, while voluntary prepayments are applied at the option of the Company. COVENANTS The Credit Agreement contains certain financial tests, including amounts and ratios related to operating income, debt service payments and net worth. Additionally, the Credit Agreement and indenture for the Debentures place restrictions and limitations on the Company. Restrictions and limitations are placed on, among other things, additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, payments of dividends on capital stock, investments and sales of assets and stock of subsidiaries. COLLATERAL The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of the stock of substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries, by a pledge of accounts receivable and by mortgages on substantially all of the real estate of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. SENIOR SECURED NOTES The Senior Secured Notes were issued upon consummation of the Plan in the original principal amount of approximately $234.8 million. On September 30, 1993, the Company purchased and placed in an irrevocable trust U.S. Treasury securities which matured in the amount of $158.8 million for the purpose of redeeming the Senior Secured Notes. The redemption of the Senior Secured Notes occurred on November 15, 1993. This defeasance transaction resulted in the removal of the debt and related accrued interest from the balance sheet as of September 30, 1993 with an after tax extraordinary loss of approximately $971,000. DEBENTURES Upon consummation of the Plan, the Debentures were issued in the principal amount of $200 million with a maturity date of February 15, 2003. The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15, and are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices. However, the Credit Agreement prohibits the Company from redeeming the Debentures. The Debentures are general unsecured obligations of the Company subordinated in right of payment to the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Company under the indenture for the Debentures are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. F-17 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LEASES (CONTINUED) At September 30, 1993 the carrying amount and fair value of the Debentures was $156 million and $176 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company's Debentures is based upon the bid price on September 30, 1993, from quotes obtained by the Company. The fair value of the Company's other long-term debt obligations approximates their respective carrying amounts. LEASES The Company leases certain hospital facilities, some of which may be purchased during the term or at expiration of the leases. The book value of capital leased assets was approximately $8.3 million at September 30, 1993. The leases, which expire through 2069, generally require the Company to pay all maintenance, property tax and insurance costs. At September 30, 1993, aggregate amounts of future minimum payments under operating leases were as follows: 1994 -- $5 million; 1995 -- $3.9 million; 1996 - -- $2.8 million; 1997 -- $1 million; 1998 -- $.6 million; subsequent to 1998 -- $31.5 million. Operations for the year ended September 30, 1991, and the ten months ended July 31, 1992, included rental expenses on operating leases of $13.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Operations for the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993, included rental expenses on operating leases of $1.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Pursuant to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 80 million shares of Common Stock, $.25 par value per share, and 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, without par value. Under the terms of the Plan, approximately 24,828,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to certain holders of debt securities, the preferred stockholders, and common stockholders. No shares of Preferred Stock have been issued as of September 30, 1993. COMMON STOCK The Company is prohibited from paying dividends (other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock) on its Common Stock under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Debentures. The 1992 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of 3,437,939 options to purchase Common Stock. A summary of changes in options outstanding and other related information is as follows: TEN MONTHS ENDED TWO MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1992 SEPTEMBER 30, 1992 SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 -------------------- -------------------- ------------------ Balance, beginning of period...................... -- 3,416,826 3,416,826 Granted......................................... 3,416,826 -- 21,750 Cancelled....................................... -- -- (27,000) Exercised....................................... -- -- (183,500) ---------- ---------- ------------------ Balance, end of period............................ 3,416,826 3,416,826 3,228,076 ---------- ---------- ------------------ ---------- ---------- ------------------ Option prices..................................... $4.36 - $9.60 $4.36 - $9.60 $.25 - $16.875 Price range of exercised options.................. -- -- $4.36 Average exercise price............................ -- -- $4.36 The exercise price of certain options will be reduced if a change in control of the Company occurs prior to July 1995 or, in the case of termination of employment of certain optionees without cause, if certain financial targets included in the Stock Option Plan are achieved.

The remaining F-18 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) options vest over the next two fiscal years if the Company achieves certain financial targets. If a change in control of the Company occurs, all options vest immediately prior to such event, and upon termination of employment of certain optionees without cause, all options granted to such optionees vest immediately, provided certain financial targets have been met. Upon the termination of the employment of the Company's former Chairman of the Board on March 4, 1993, and under the provisions of the 1992 Stock Option Plan, all of the former employee's options vested and the option prices were reduced to $.25 per share. Such options totalled 2,220,336 at September 30, 1993 and expire in April 1994. As a result, the Company recognized approximately $21.3 million in additional stock option expense during the second quarter of fiscal 1993. The remaining expenses during fiscal 1993 of $17.1 million related to the 1992 Stock Option Plan were due to increases in the market price of the underlying Common Stock and the impact of additional shares vesting in fiscal 1993. RIGHTS PLAN Also upon consummation of the Plan, the Company adopted a Share Purchase Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan"). Pursuant to the Rights Plan, each share of Common Stock also represents one Share Purchase Right (collectively, the "Rights"). The Rights trade automatically with the underlying shares of Common Stock. Upon becoming exercisable, but prior to the occurrence of certain events, each Right initially entitles its holder to buy one share of Common Stock from the Company at an exercise price of $60.00. The Rights will be distributed and become exercisable only if a person or group acquires, or announces its intention to acquire, Common Stock exceeding certain levels, as specified in the Rights Plan. Upon the occurrence of such events, the exercise price of each Right reduces to one-half of the then current market price. The Rights also give the holder certain rights in an acquiring company's common stock. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at a price of $.01 per Right at any time prior to the distribution of the Rights. The Rights have no voting power until exercised. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS The Company has two series of warrants outstanding, the 2002 Warrants and the 2006 Warrants. In connection with the Plan, the Company issued 114,690 of the 2002 Warrants to purchase one share each of the Company's Common Stock. These warrants, which expire on June 30, 2002, have an exercise price of $5.24 per share. During fiscal 1993, 3,713 shares were issued from the exercise of these warrants. The 2006 Warrants, which expire on September 1, 2006, were subject to certain adjustments as a result of the Plan, and accordingly, 146,791 of such warrants are currently outstanding with an exercise price of $38.70 per share. 8. INCOME TAXES Concurrent with the adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred income taxes are provided at the enacted marginal rates on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax provisions or benefits are based on the change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period. F-19 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 8. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) The provision (benefit) for income taxes attributable to continuing operations consisted of the following (in thousands): TEN MONTHS TWO MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, JULY 31, SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1991 1992 1992 1993 ------------- ----------- ------------- ------------- Income taxes currently payable: Federal.................................... $ 500 $ 14 $ 3 $ 181 State...................................... 1,592 1,055 113 315 Foreign.................................... 1,100 803 461 986 Deferred income taxes: Federal....................................

Accordingly, no income taxes have been provided on the $731 million extraordinary gain on debt discharge in the statement of operations for the ten months ended July 31, 1992. As of September 30, 1993, the Company has estimated tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $171 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These NOL carryforwards expire in 2006 and 2007 and are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Due to the ownership change which occurred as a result of the Restructuring, the Company's utilization of NOLs generated prior to the Effective Date is significantly limited. Based on these limitations and certain other factors, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire amount of the NOL deferred tax asset and other deferred tax assets that, in management's opinion, are not likely to be recovered. During 1993, due in part to the sale of the general hospitals, net income tax benefits of approximately $21.5 million were realized from the utilization of the pre-Effective Date NOLs and were recorded as a reduction in Excess Reorganization Value. F-20 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 8. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) Components of the net deferred income tax liability at September 30, 1992 and 1993 are as follows (in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1992 1993 ------------- ------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Property and depreciation.................................. $ 33,803 $ 14,991 Long-term debt and interest................................ 24,626 44,157 ESOP....................................................... 5,536 17,013 Other, net................................................. 34,229 22,847 ------------- ------------- Total deferred tax liabilities............................. 98,194 99,008 ------------- ------------- Deferred tax assets: Operating loss carryforwards...............................

(77,625) (60,219) ------------- ------------- Net deferred tax liabilities................................. $ 20,569 $ 38,789 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- The reduction in the valuation allowance during 1993 was primarily due to the realization of NOL deferred tax assets discussed above. The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 increased the federal statutory corporate tax rate from 34% to 35%, effective January 1, 1993. The effect of the increase was not material to the Company. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's income tax returns for fiscal 1989 and 1990. In management's opinion, adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments which may result from these examinations. 9. OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES Other accrued liabilities include amounts due health insurance programs, primarily Medicaid and Medicare, of $74.8 million and $59.4 million at September 30, 1992 and 1993, respectively. Also included are accrued restructuring costs of $12.7 million and $14.5 million at September 30, 1992 and 1993, respectively, which relate primarily to remaining amounts to be paid under the terms of the ESOP settlement and to the accrued operating losses for non-core facilities held for sale.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Below is supplemental cash flow information related to the year ended September 30, 1991, the ten months ended July 31, 1992, the two months ended September 30, 1992 and the year ended September 30, 1993 (see Note 1 for a discussion of the non-cash financing activities related to the consummation of the Plan) (in thousands): TEN MONTHS TWO MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, JULY 31, SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1991 1992 1992 1993 ------------- ---------- ------------- ------------- Federal and state income taxes paid, net of refunds received.................... $ 1,616 $ 2,944 $ 269 $ 11,136 Payments to ESOP........................ 51,561 40,697 23,000 69,123 Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized............................ 72,723 69,658 6,803 74,167 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of its general and professional liability risks. The reserves for self-insured general and professional liability losses, including loss adjustment expenses, are based on actuarial estimates using the Company's historical claims experience adjusted for current industry trends. The reserve for unpaid claims is adjusted, as such claims mature, to reflect revised actuarial estimates based on actual experience. While management and its actuaries believe that the present reserve is reasonable, ultimate settlement of losses may vary from the amount provided. In addition to general and professional liability claims, the Company is subject to other claims, suits, surveys and investigations. This includes a federal investigation of certain business practices of a subsidiary of the Company that operates one psychiatric hospital. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such other pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), for itself or in its capacity as conservator or receivor for 12 financial institutions, formerly held certain debt securities that were issued by the Company in 1988. RTC has indicated to the Company that it believes that certain financial statements and other disclosures made by the Company in connection with such debt securities contained materially misleading statements or material omissions and that such misleading statements or omissions resulted in an overvaluation of such debt securities. Specifically, the RTC has indicated its belief that the Company's financial statements overstated net income for the 1987 fiscal year and the first three quarters of the 1988 fiscal year due to understatement of contractual allowances and the allowance for bad debts and that the Company believed, but did not disclose, that the factors described under "-- Industry Trends" would occur in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that the financial institutions represented by RTC purchased in 1988 and 1989 $103.4 million face amount of subordinated debt securities originally issued by the Company in September 1988. Although the RTC has not disclosed to the Company its (or its financial institutions') trading losses from the purchases and sales of these subordinated debt securities, the RTC has disclosed the dates purchases and sales were made and the face amounts of the subordinated debt securities involved in these transactions. The Company believes that the trading losses were approximately $45 million. The Company has agreed to a tolling of the statute of limitations applicable to RTC's claims. Based on a review of relevant law and the facts known to the Company, the Company believes it has a substantial defense to a potential claim by RTC and that such claim would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-22 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The Company owns 50% of the Charter Medical Building in Macon, Georgia, and leases space in such building for use as its corporate headquarters. The lease, which expires on September 30, 1994, provides for an average annual rental of approximately $1,189,000. Mr. William A. Fickling, Jr., a former Director and former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and his father's estate own 25% of the building. In the opinion of management, such office space has been leased on terms as favorable as could be obtained from an unaffiliated party. As a result of the Company's partnership interest in the building, the Company received distributions of approximately $300,000 in fiscal 1993. On September 15, 1993, the Company sold its ownership interest in Beech Street to the children of Mr. Fickling for approximately $5.5 million, plus the right to receive additional consideration, if certain events (e.g. a public offering of Beech Street stock or if Beech Street sells 50% or more of its assets) occur within two years. The Company obtained a fairness opinion by an independent appraisal firm stating that the financial consideration was fair. The Company acquired its ownership interest in a series of related transactions beginning in May 1989, for a total purchase price of $2,956,000. During the period of its ownership, the Company received $1,242,000 in dividend distributions from Beech Street. Beech Street was, prior to May 1989, a wholly owned subsidiary of Beech Street, Inc., in which Mr. Fickling beneficially owns a majority of the outstanding stock. The Company also has agreements with Beech Street where certain of the Company's hospitals provide services to employers (and their related employee and covered dependent groups) who have entered into agreements with Beech Street to utilize a Beech Street Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") for hospital and other healthcare services. Such agreements provide for covered services to be rendered under terms (including discounts from the hospital's normal charges) which management of the Company believes are customary for hospital PPO agreements. The Beech Street PPO reviews claims and serves as an intermediary between the Company's hospitals and the contracting employers. The Company derived approximately $11.5 million, $14.8 million and $21.4 million in revenue from these agreements during fiscal 1991, 1992 and 1993, respectively. The aggregate discount from customary charges was 17% in fiscal 1991 and 1992 and was 12% in fiscal 1993. Stanley S. Trotman, Jr., a Director of the Company from 1978 until July 1992, is a Managing Director of Kidder, Peabody & Company, Inc. ("Kidder"). While Mr. Trotman served as a Director, Kidder provided certain financial advisory services to the Company. During fiscal 1991 and 1992, the Company incurred approximately $1.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in fees and expenses with respect to such services.

SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) The following is a summary of the quarterly results of operations for the years ended September 30, 1992 and 1993. Amounts presented below differ from amounts previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q due to the restatement of the consolidated financial statements to reflect as discontinued operations the sale of certain subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993. Information for the fourth quarter of 1992 and loss per share data for 1992 are not presented because they are not meaningful due to the implementation of fresh start accounting and the consummation of the Restructuring.

GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GENERAL -- These condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the Guarantors under the 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes and the New Credit Agreement consummated in May 1994. (See Note 15). The direct and indirect Guarantors are wholly owned by Charter or a Guarantor Subsidiary of Charter. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not presented because the Guarantors are jointly, severally and unconditionally liable under the guarantee, and the Company believes the condensed consolidating financial statements presented are more meaningful in understanding the financial position of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the separate financial statements are deemed not material to investors. DISTRIBUTIONS -- There are no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to make distributions to Charter. 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On March 30, 1994 the Company announced that it had entered into an asset purchase agreement with National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME") providing for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of 36 psychiatric hospitals, eight chemical-dependency treatment facilities, two residential treatment centers and one physician outpatient practice (including related outpatient facilities and other associated assets, the "Target Hospitals"). The purchase price for the Target Hospitals will be approximately $146.9 million in cash plus an additional cash amount, estimated to be approximately $50.7 million, subject to adjustment, for the net working capital of the Target Hospitals at the closing of the acquisition. The Target Hospitals have an aggregate capacity of 3,496 licensed beds and are located in 20 states. During their fiscal year ended May 31, 1993 and the nine month period ended February 28, 1994, the Target Hospitals had, respectively, approximately 40,000 and 28,000 patient admissions, net revenue of approximately $407.5 million and $265.2 million and Target Hospital EBITDA (defined as net revenue less operating expenses and bad debt expenses) of approximately $55.1 million and $36.5 million. Subject to obtaining licensure and other regulatory approvals, the Company anticipates that it will purchase the Target Hospitals in multiple closings. See "The Acquisition" and "Target Hospital Selected Financial Information" elsewhere in this document. On May 2, 1994 the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions for a five-year reducing, revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $300 million (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). Proceeds from the Revolving Credit Agreement were or will be used (i) to refinance certain mortgage indebtedness of certain subsidiaries of the Company in the principal amount of approximately $14.7 million and the loans to certain subsidiaries of the Company outstanding under the Credit Agreement in the principal amount of approximately $46.8 million, (ii) for continued credit enhancement of certain currently outstanding variable rate demand notes issued by or for the benefit of certain subsidiaries of the Company and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance, in part, the acquisition of the Target Hospitals and to finance other permitted acquisitions and investments. As of May 2, 1994, approximately $134.6 million in loans and letters of credit were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement will be reduced by the amounts and on the dates indicated below: AMOUNT DATE - -------------- ----------------- $ 25,000,000 March 31, 1996 50,000,000 March 31, 1997 50,000,000 March 31, 1998 175,000,000 March 31, 1999 In addition to the scheduled reductions above, the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to 70% (or if a default or an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain F-31 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED) asset sales, (ii) by an amount equal to 25% (or if a default or an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain issuances or sales of the Company's capital stock or other equity interests, except that no such reduction shall be required if the Company meets specified financial ratios and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) by an amount equal to the principal amount of permitted subordinated indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Notes (as defined below)) subject to a required repurchase or repurchase offer by the Company as a result of any asset sale. All such reductions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) shall be applied first on a pro rata basis to all scheduled reductions of the Revolving Credit Agreement other than the last scheduled reduction of the Revolving Credit Agreement, and thereafter to the last scheduled reduction. The loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest (subject to certain potential adjustments) at a rate per annum equal to (a) the sum of the Base Lending Rate plus 3/4%, or (b) at the option of the Company, the sum of the maximum reserve-adjusted one, two, three or six-month LIBOR plus 1 3/4%. The Base Lending Rate is the higher of (x) the rate announced from time to time as Bankers Trust Company's prime lending rate, (y) the Federal Reserve's reported weekly average dealer offering rate for three-month certificates of deposit, adjusted for maximum reserves, plus 1/2 of 1%, and (z) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%. Also on May 2, 1994, the Company issued $375 million of 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes which mature on April 15, 2004 (the "Notes") and are general unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 1994. Proceeds of $181.8 million from the sale of the Notes were used to defease and redeem the Company's outstanding 7.5% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003. Certain remaining proceeds will be used, along with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Agreement, to finance the acquisition of NME facilities discussed above. The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company's existing subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries created after the issuance of the Notes. The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to April 15, 1999. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning April 15 of the years indicated below: REDEMPTION YEAR PRICES - ----------------------------------------- ----------- 1999..................................... 105.625% 2000..................................... 103.750% 2001..................................... 101.875% 2002 and thereafter...................... 100.000% The indenture for the Notes contains certain covenants, which among other things, restrict the Company's ability and the ability of certain of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends, make unscheduled payments on indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or make certain investments. The covenants also place limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens and places restrictions on the use of proceeds from asset sales.

F-36 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1994 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 1993, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. NOTE B -- NATURE OF BUSINESS The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with a reduced demand for certain services generally occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter and around major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Company's business is also subject to general economic conditions and other factors. Accordingly, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. NOTE C -- SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Below is supplemental cash flow information related to the six months ended March 31, 1993 and 1994: FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------- 1993 1994 --------- --------- (IN THOUSANDS) Income taxes paid, net of refunds received........................... $ 9,525 $ 8,532 Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized............................ 36,184 16,331 Payments to ESOP..................................................... 52,669 30,000 NOTE D -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND LEASES Information with regard to the Company's long-term debt and capital lease obligations at September 30, 1993 and March 31, 1994 follows (in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30, MARCH 31, 1993 1994 ------------- ---------- Financing under the Credit Agreement: Tranche A Facility (6.75% at March 31, 1994)............................ $ 93,871 $ 65,932 Tranche B Facility (5.7375% to 8.375% at March 31, 1994)................ 67,619 37,619 Debentures due 2003 (net of discount of $43,997 at September 30, 1993 and $42,622 at March 31, 1994)............................................... 156,003 157,378 8% to 16% Mortgage and other collateralized notes payable through 1998.... 21,502 19,916 Variable rate secured notes due through 2013 (2.15% to 2.5% at March 31, 1994).................................................................... 64,175 63,825 7.5% Swiss Bonds due currently............................................ 6,443 6,443 2.2% to 11.5% Capital lease obligations due through 2014.................. 11,965 11,780 ------------- ---------- 421,578 362,893 Less amounts due within one year...................................... 70,957 41,010 Less debt service funds............................................... 416 691 ------------- ---------- $ 350,205 $ 321,192 ------------- ---------- ------------- ---------- F-37 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 1994 (UNAUDITED) NOTE D -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND LEASES (CONTINUED) The Company made a mandatory payment under the Credit Agreement of approximately $3.1 million in January 1994 which represented actual excess cash over estimated excess cash at September 30, 1993. Additionally, in January 1994 the Company made a voluntary prepayment under the Credit Agreement of $30 million. On March 1, 1994 the Company made a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement of approximately $1.9 million which represented 75% of net proceeds from asset sales and on March 31, 1994 made a scheduled payment of $2.5 million. NOTE E -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY During December 1993, a former employee and director exercised approximately 2.2 million options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock and surrendered approximately 570,000 of such optioned shares, valued at approximately $14.2 million, as consideration for the payment of required withholding taxes. As a result, the Company was required to make withholding tax payments on behalf of the former employee of approximately $14.2 million which was charged against additional paid-in capital. This charge was offset by a tax benefit recorded in additional paid-in capital of approximately $9.4 million related to additional stock option expense deductible for income tax purposes. NOTE F -- CONTINGENCIES GENERAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of general and professional liability risks. The reserves for self-insured general and professional liability losses, including loss adjustment expenses, are based on actuarial estimates using the Company's historical claims experience adjusted for current industry trends. The reserve for unpaid claims is adjusted as such claims mature, to reflect revised actuarial estimates based on actual experience. While management and its actuaries believe that the present reserve is reasonable, ultimate settlement of losses may vary from the amount provided. LITIGATION In addition to general and professional liability claims, the Company is subject to other claims, suits, surveys and investigations. This includes a federal investigation of certain business practices of a subsidiary of the Company that operates one psychiatric hospital. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such other pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), for itself or in its capacity as conservator or receivor for 12 financial institutions, formerly held certain debt securities that were issued by the Company in 1988. RTC has indicated to the Company that it believes that certain financial statements and other disclosures made by the Company in connection with such debt securities contained materially misleading statements or material omissions and that such misleading statements or omissions resulted in an overvaluation of such debt securities. Specifically, the RTC has indicated its belief that the Company's financial statements overstated net income for the 1987 fiscal year and the first three quarters of the 1988 fiscal year due to understatement of contractual allowances and the allowance for bad debts and that the Company believed, but did not disclose, that the factors described under "--Industry Trends" would occur in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that the financial institutions represented by RTC purchased in 1988 and 1989 $103.4 million face amount of subordinated debt securities originally issued by the Company in September 1988. Although the RTC has not disclosed to the Company its (or its financial institutions') trading losses from the purchases and sales of these subordinated debt securities, the RTC has disclosed the dates purchases and F-38 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 1994 (UNAUDITED) NOTE F -- CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Sales were made and the face amounts of the subordinated debt securities involved in these transactions. The Company believes that the trading losses were approximately $45 million. The Company has agreed to a tolling of the statute of limitations applicable to RTC's claims. Based on a review of relevant law and the facts known to the Company, the Company believes it has a substantial defense to a potential claim by RTC and that such claim would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. NOTE G -- ACQUISITION On March 30, 1994 the Company announced that it had entered into an asset purchase agreement with National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME") providing for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of 36 psychiatric hospitals, eight chemical-dependency treatment facilities, two residential treatment centers and one physician outpatient practice (including related outpatient facilities and other associated assets, the "Target Hospitals"). The purchase price for the Target Hospitals will be approximately $146.9 million in cash plus an additional cash amount, estimated to be approximately $50.7 million, subject to adjustment, for the net working capital of the Target Hospitals at the closing of the acquisition. The Target Hospitals have an aggregate capacity of 3,496 licensed beds and are located in 20 states. During their fiscal year ended May 31, 1993 and the nine month period ended February 28, 1994, the Target Hospitals had, respectively, approximately 40,000 and 28,000 patient admissions, net revenue of approximately $407.5 million and $265.2 million and Target Hospital EBITDA (defined as net revenue less operating expenses and bad debt expenses) of approximately $55.1 million and $36.5 million. Subject to obtaining licensure and other regulatory approvals, the Company anticipates that it will purchase the Target Hospitals in multiple closings. See "The Acquisition" and "Target Hospital Selected Financial Information" elsewhere in this document. NOTE H -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On May 2, 1994 the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions for a five-year reducing, revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $300 million (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). Proceeds from the Revolving Credit Agreement were or will be used (i) to refinance certain mortgage indebtedness of certain subsidiaries of the Company in the principal amount of approximately $14.7 million and the loans to certain subsidiaries of the Company outstanding under the Credit Agreement in the principal amount of approximately $46.8 million, (ii) for continued credit enhancement of certain currently outstanding variable rate demand notes issued by or for the benefit of certain subsidiaries of the Company, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance, in part, the acquisition of the Target Hospitals and to finance other permitted acquisitions and investments. As of May 2, 1994, approximately $134.6 million in loans and letters of credit were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement will be reduced by the amounts and on the dates indicated below: AMOUNT DATE - -------------- ----------------- $ 25,000,000 March 31, 1996 50,000,000 March 31, 1997 50,000,000 March 31, 1998 175,000,000 March 31, 1999 In addition to the scheduled reductions above, the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to 70% (or if a default or an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain F-39 CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 1994 (UNAUDITED) NOTE H -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED) asset sales, (ii) by an amount equal to 25% (or if a default or an event of default exists, 100%) of the net proceeds of certain issuances or sales of the Company's capital stock or other equity interests, except that no such reduction shall be required if the Company meets specified financial ratios and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) by an amount equal to the principal amount of permitted subordinated indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Notes (as defined below)) subject to a required repurchase or repurchase offer by the Company as a result of any asset sale. All such reductions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) shall be applied first on a pro rata basis to all scheduled reductions of the Revolving Credit Agreement other than the last scheduled reduction of the Revolving Credit Agreement, and thereafter to the last scheduled reduction. The loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest (subject to certain potential adjustments) at a rate per annum equal to (a) the sum of the Base Lending Rate plus 3/4%, or (b) at the option of the Company, the sum of the maximum reserve-adjusted one, two, three or six-month LIBOR plus 1 3/4%. The Base Lending Rate is the higher of (x) the rate announced from time to time as Bankers Trust Company's prime lending rate, (y) the Federal Reserve's reported weekly average dealer offering rate for three-month certificates of deposit, adjusted for maximum reserves, plus 1/2 of 1%, and (z) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%. Also on May 2, 1994, the Company issued $375 million of 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes which mature on April 15, 2004 (the "Notes") and are general unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 1994. Proceeds of $181.8 million from the sale of the Notes were used to defease and redeem the Company's outstanding 7.5% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003. Certain remaining proceeds will be used, along with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Agreement, to finance the acquisition of NME facilities discussed above. The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain of the Company's existing subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries created after the issuance of the Notes. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the Company believes they are not material. The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to April 15, 1999. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning April 15 of the years indicated below: REDEMPTION YEAR PRICES - --------------------------------------------------- ----------- 1999............................................... 105.625% 2000............................................... 103.750% 2001............................................... 101.875% 2002 and thereafter................................ 100.000% The indenture for the Notes contains certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company's ability and the ability of certain of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends, make unscheduled payments on indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or make certain investments. The covenants also place limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens and places restrictions on the use of proceeds from asset sales.

F-43 NOTE I -- GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) GENERAL -- These condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the Guarantors under the 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes and the New Credit Agreement consummated in May 1994. (See Note H). The direct and indirect Guarantors are wholly owned by Charter or a Guarantor Subsidiary of Charter. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not presented because the Guarantors are jointly, severally and unconditionally liable under the guarantee, and the Company believes the condensed consolidating financial statements presented are more meaningful in understanding the financial position of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the separate financial statements are deemed not material to investors. DISTRIBUTIONS -- There are no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to make distributions to Charter. F-44 The Board of Directors National Medical Enterprises, Inc. and Charter Medical Corporation: We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Selected Psychiatric Hospitals of National Medical Enterprises, Inc. (the "Selected Psychiatric Hospitals") as of May 31, 1993 and the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 1993. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of management of National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME"). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined 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 combined 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. As discussed in Note 9 to the combined financial statements, NME and certain of its subsidiaries at May 31, 1993 were engaged in various lawsuits and were the subject of governmental investigations concerning possible improper practices, some of which may have involved practices of certain of the Selected Psychiatric Hospitals. Subsequent to May 31, 1993, the majority of these lawsuits were settled, and on June 29, 1994, NME entered into a settlement agreement with certain Federal government agencies which finalized all of its open investigations of NME. While NME agreed to pay substantial amounts as part of these settlements and agreements, no settlement amounts have been specifically attributed to individual facilities. In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Selected Psychiatric Hospitals of National Medical Enterprises, Inc. as of May 31, 1993 and the results of their combined operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick -------------------------------------- Los Angeles, California July 19, 1993, except as to Note 9, which is as of June 29, 1994 and Note 10, which is as of June 30, 1994.

F-49 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 1992 AND 1993 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The combined financial statements have been prepared in connection with the acquisition by certain subsidiaries of Charter Medical Corporation (Charter) of substantially all of the assets of the 36 psychiatric hospitals, eight chemical-dependency treatment facilities, two residential treatment centers and one physician outpatient practice, including related outpatient facilities and other associated assets, (collectively the "Selected Hospitals") from various subsidiaries of National Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("NME"), which transaction is described in more detail in Note 10. The combined financial statements present the historical combined financial position and results of operations of the Selected Hospitals and, as a result, include certain assets and liabilities of the Selected Hospitals that Charter will not acquire or assume as part of the transaction described in Note 10. Several of the Selected Hospitals are owned and/or operated by partnerships in which NME currently owns a controlling interest. It is anticipated that NME's interest in these partnerships will be transferred as part of the transaction described in Note 10. These Selected Hospitals have been consolidated in the financial statements with the respective minority interests being recorded. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Selected Hospitals have been eliminated. NET OPERATING REVENUES Net operating revenues consist primarily of net patient service revenues which are based on the hospitals' established billing rates less allowances and discounts principally for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other contractual programs. These allowances and discounts were $324,555,000 in 1992 and $255,103,000 in 1993. Payments under these programs are based on either predetermined rates or the costs of services. Settlements for retrospectively determined rates are estimated in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for adjustments that may result from final determination of amounts earned under these programs. Approximately 19% of net operating revenues in 1992 and approximately 29% of net operating revenues in 1993 is from the participation of the Selected Hospitals in Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Selected Hospitals provide care without charge or at amounts substantially less than their established rates to patients who meet certain financial or economic criteria. Because the Selected Hospitals do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as gross revenue and are not included in deductions from revenue or in operating and administrative expenses. Bad debt expense for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable, net of recoveries, is included in operating and administrative expenses and was $36,812,000 in 1992 and $20,273,000 in 1993. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Selected Hospitals principally use the straight-line method of depreciation for buildings, improvements and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements -- generally 20 to 50 years; equipment -- 3 to 15 years. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Preopening costs are generally amortized over 3 to 5 years. Costs in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of purchased businesses are generally amortized over 40 years. The straight-line method is used to amortize most intangible assets. F-50 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 1992 AND 1993 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) LEASES Capital leases are recorded at the beginning of the lease term as assets and liabilities at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the assets. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Selected Hospitals treat highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. INCOME TAXES The operations of the Selected Hospitals are included in the NME consolidated Federal income tax return and in various unitary and consolidated State income tax returns. NME charges or credits the Selected Hospitals for amounts from applicable separate State income tax returns, if any, and allocates to such hospitals a charge or credit for current and deferred income tax expense attributable to consolidated and unitary Federal and State income taxes. These allocations approximate income tax expense which would be calculated on a stand alone basis. Such allocations are recorded as Due to Owners and Affiliates. Deferred taxes assets and liabilities attributable to timing differences of the Selected Hospitals are recorded on the books of an affiliate. 2. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and interest payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Selected Hospitals' long-term debt, (1) calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans, or (2) based on current rates available for debt of the same remaining maturities available to NME, also approximates carrying value. 3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment consist of the following at May 31, 1993 (in thousands): Land...................................................... $ 33,483 Buildings and improvements................................ 265,554 Constructions in progress................................. 2,195 Equipment................................................. 73,006 Facilities under capital leases........................... 1,548 --------- 375,786 Less accumulated depreciation............................. 89,324 --------- $ 286,462 --------- --------- 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain Selected Hospitals participate in the NME cash management program which requires that cash deposits be transferred to NME-controlled bank accounts. In this system, generally all cash accounts are zero-balance accounts. Increases and decreases in the NME intercompany account are principally a function F-51 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 1992 AND 1993 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) of cash flow and accrued interest (10% in 1992 and 1993) and noncash entries for certain overhead and expense transfers. Intercompany charges reflected in the combined financial statements are summarized as follows (in thousands): 1992 1993 --------- --------- Interest expense on intercompany borrowings....................................... $ 10,680 11,058 Insurance premiums................................................................ 7,470 9,563 Hospital management salaries, bonuses and data processing costs allocated from parent........................................................................... 11,058 12,099 Other corporate overhead allocations.............................................. 66,962 53,252 --------- --------- $ 96,170 85,972 --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest expense was calculated monthly at a rate of 10% on balances with NME and NME-owned entities for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993. Operating and administrative expenses include gross insurance premiums of approximately $7,470,000 and $9,563,000 paid to Health Facilities Insurance Corporation, Ltd. (HFIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of NME, for professional and other insurance coverage for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993, respectively. NME provides certain management and administrative services to the Selected Hospitals for which it charges a fee. Each of the Selected Hospitals is allocated a portion of the fee based on a specified percentage of gross revenues earned. Fees of $78,020,000 and $65,351,000 were paid to NME for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993, respectively. Of these amounts, $11,058,000 and $12,099,000 are reported as operating and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993, respectively. The remainder of these fees are included in intercompany fees and allocations in the accompanying combined statements of operations. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt of the Selected Hospitals at May 31, 1993 is as follows (in thousands): Notes secured by property, plant and equipment at rates ranging from 6% to 11.25%.................................. $ 5,423 Obligations under capital leases at rates ranging from 4.8% to 14.71%.................................................. 971 --------- 6,394 Less current portion........................................ 198 --------- $ 6,196 --------- --------- F-52 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 1992 AND 1993 5. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) Minimum principal payments on long-term debt for the five years subsequent to May 31, 1993 are as follows (in thousands): 1994........................................................ $ 198 1995........................................................ 730 1996........................................................ 804 1997........................................................ 841 1998........................................................ 918 Thereafter.................................................. 2,903 --------- $ 6,394 --------- --------- Interest paid to third parties totaled $668,000 and $915,000 during the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993, respectively. 6. INCOME TAX BENEFIT Income tax benefits allocated by NME for the years ended May 31 consist of the following amounts (in thousands): 1992 1993 --------- ---------- Current payable Federal..................................................... $ (2,051) $ (16,219) State....................................................... 2,247 (2,166) --------- ---------- 196 (18,385) --------- ---------- Deferred taxes: Federal..................................................... (6) 4,144 State....................................................... (629) 1,120 --------- ---------- (635) 5,264 --------- ---------- Total tax benefit......................................... $ (439) $ (13,121) --------- ---------- --------- ---------- Effective June 1, 1993, NME adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Among other provisions, this standard requires deferred tax balances to be determined using enacted tax rates for the years in which the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received. At May 31, 1993, deferred tax accounts recorded by an affiliate applicable to the Selected Hospitals' timing differences reflect the statutory rates that were in effect when the deferrals were initiated. Upon adoption, such deferred tax accounts applicable to the temporary differences of Selected Hospitals will be adjusted and the affiliate will recognize an income tax benefit on account of the change of method. Selected Hospitals will continue to receive an allocation of current and deferred income tax expense, modified to reflect the principles contained in SFAS 109. The main difference between the Federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective tax rate is attributable to state income taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit. F-53 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 1992 AND 1993 7. LEASE OBLIGATIONS Future minimum lease payments for operating leases for the next five years are as follows (in thousands): 1994....................................................... $ 4,489 1995....................................................... 4,935 1996....................................................... 3,383 1997....................................................... 3,388 1998....................................................... 3,025 Thereafter................................................. 3,439 --------- $ 22,659 --------- --------- Rental expense under operating leases, including contingent rent expense and short-term leases, was $10,365,000 in 1992 and $9,333,000 in 1993. 8. PROFESSIONAL AND GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE The professional and comprehensive general liability risks of the Selected Hospitals are insured by HFIC. The coverage provided is limited to $25,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate limit of $25,000,000. HFIC reinsures risks in excess of $500,000 per occurrence with major insurance carriers. The Selected Hospitals also have umbrella coverage with major insurance carriers for losses above the limits provided by HFIC. The excess coverage provided is limited to $75,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate limit of $75,000,000. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for adjustments that may result from final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare/Medicaid and other contractual programs described in Note 1. Such amounts, however, are necessarily based upon estimates and the amounts ultimately realized may vary substantially from these estimates. 9. OTHER CONTINGENCIES UNUSUAL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS At May 31, 1993, NME and certain of its subsidiaries, including those that own the Selected Hospitals, were involved in significant lawsuits and governmental investigations concerning possible improper practices related principally to its psychiatric business. The suits sought compensatory and punitive damages and, in some cases, attorneys fees. At May 31, 1993, neither the ultimate disposition of the unusual lawsuits, investigations and claims nor the amount of liabilities or losses arising from them could be determined. Furthermore, at May 31, 1993, NME and NME's subsidiaries expected to incur substantial legal charges until these matters could be disposed of, for which NME established a reserve. As of August 31, 1993, NME recorded additional reserves to estimate the cost of the ultimate disposition of the significant lawsuits, the majority of which have been settled subsequent to August 31, 1993. On June 29, 1994, NME entered into a settlement agreement with various federal agencies which becomes effective once approved by a federal judge. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, NME is to pay approximately $362,700,000 to conclude the federal investigations. In addition, NME also reached an agreement-in-principle, which is expected to be finalized within 30 days, with 28 states to pay an additional $16,300,000 to resolve potential claims related to certain of its psychiatric hospitals. As a result, NME recorded an additional reserve at February 28, 1994 to estimate the costs of the ultimate disposition of all federal and state investigations. The aggregate amount of the reserves recorded in connection with these settlements and agreements as of February 28, 1994 amounted to $690,000,000. These settlements and agreements were reached in the F-54 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 1992 AND 1993 9. OTHER CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) aggregate and were not allocated or apportioned to individual facilities. Accordingly, none of these reserves have been reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements, nor has any provision for any liability resulting from the ultimate disposition of these matters been recognized in such financial statements. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On November 30, 1993, NME decided to discontinue its psychiatric business by disposing of substantially all of its psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse facilities. Accordingly, the Selected Hospitals included in these financial statements have been written down by approximately $170,000,000 to their realizable value as of November 30, 1993. On March 29, 1994, NME entered into an asset sale agreement (the "Asset Sale Agreement") with Charter to sell substantially all the assets of the Selected Hospitals to certain subsidiaries of Charter. The transaction is subject to review by the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and other regulatory approvals. On June 28, 1994, NME and Charter received the necessary approvals on 30 of the 47 Selected Hospitals, and effective June 30, 1994, they closed the sale of 27 of the 30 facilities. NME and Charter are responding to the Federal Trade Commission's request for additional information related to the purchase of the remaining 17 facilities. Under the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for substantially all of the assets (excluding working capital) of the Selected Hospitals is approximately $147,000,000. If one or more of the Selected Hospitals is not acquired due to certain conditions, the purchase price will be adjusted. Pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement, certain working capital items also are to be sold to Charter for additional consideration equal to their net book value as of closing.

F-58 SELECTED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTE TO UNAUDITED COMBINED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1993 AND 1994 The unaudited combined condensed interim financial statements present the historical combined financial position and results of operations of the Selected Hospitals and, as a result, include certain assets and liabilities of the Selected Hospitals that Charter will not acquire or assume as part of the transaction. These financial statements reflect the adjustments that are, in the opinion of NME, necessary to present fairly the combined financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated. The adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for those items discussed in Notes 6 and 9 to the combined financial statements as of May 31, 1992 and May 31, 1993 and for the write-down of assets to realizable value discussed below. It is presumed that users of this interim financial information have read or have access to the combined financial statements of the Selected Hospitals for the preceding fiscal year (which appear elsewhere herein) and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote and other disclosure which would substantially duplicate the disclosure in the annual financial statements contained elsewhere herein has been omitted. The interim financial information herein is not necessarily representative of operations for a full year for various reasons, including levels of occupancy, interest rates, facility acquisitions and disposals, revenue allowance and discount fluctuations, the timing of price changes, fluctuations in quarterly tax rates and the recording of unusual reserves. These same considerations apply to all year-to-year comparisons. On November 30, 1993, NME decided to discontinue its psychiatric business by disposing of substantially all of its psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse facilities. Accordingly, the Selected Hospitals included in these financial statements have been written down to their realizable value as of November 30, 1993. Such realizable value was determined based upon the terms of the proposed transaction with Charter. During the nine months ended February 28, 1994, NME adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", and, accordingly, changed its tax allocation method to conform with the provisions of that statement. The allocated current and deferred income tax expense was not materially different than that which would have been allocated under NME's previous tax allocation methodology. Deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to the assets and liabilities of the Selected Hospitals are recorded on the books of an affiliate. As of June 1, 1993, these amounts were as follows (in thousands): DEFERRED TAX ---------------------- ASSETS LIABILITIES --------- ----------- Depreciation and fixed asset basis differences..................................... $ -- 21,876 Receivables -- adjustments and allowances.......................................... 3,160 -- Cash basis accounting charge....................................................... -- 8,791 Intangible assets.................................................................. -- 4,592 Deferred Compensation.............................................................. 661 -- Other accrued liabilities.......................................................... 639 -- Investments........................................................................ -- 170 --------- ----------- $ 4,460 35,429 --------- ----------- --------- ----------- F-59 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO DEALER, SALESPERSON OR OTHER INDIVIDUAL HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION NOT CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Company is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify its officers and directors in certain circumstances. Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of his service as director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or his service, at the corporation's request, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) or (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; provided that indemnification provided for by Section 145 or granted pursuant thereto shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145. Article VII of the By-laws of the Company provide in substance that the Company shall indemnify directors and officers against all liability and related expenses incurred in connection with the affairs of the Company if: (a), in the case of action not by or in the right of the Company, the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and (with respect to a criminal proceeding) had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and (b), in the case of actions by or in the right of the Company, the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, provided that no indemnification shall be made for a claim as to which the director or officer is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct unless (and only to the extent that) an appropriate court determines that, in view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. II-1 In addition, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits Delaware corporations to include a provision in their certificates of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payment of dividends or other unlawful distributions, or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Twelfth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation sets for such a provision. For the undertaking with respect to indemnification, see Item 22 herein. ITEM 21.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The Registrants hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective admendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The Registrants hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request. (c) The Registrants hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this Registration Statement when it became effective. (d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-5 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrants have duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement to be signed on their behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Macon, State of Georgia on July 1, 1994.
