                  PARACELSUS HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               June 30, 1996


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have 
been prepared by Paracelsus Healthcare Corporation (the "Company") without 
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, 
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the management of 
the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the 
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed 
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC in December 1995.  
In the opinion of managment, all adjustments, consisting only of normal 
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial 
position of the Company with respect to the interim condensed consolidated 
financial statements, and the consolidated results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the interim periods then ended, have been included. The 
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative 
of the results for the full year.

ITEM 2.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

On November 15, 1995, the FASB staff issued a Special Report, A Guide to 
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt 
and Equity Securities. In accordance with provisions in that Special Report, 
the Company chose to reclassify securities from held-to-maturity to 
available-for-sale. At the date of transfer the amortized cost of those 
securities was $2,000,000 and the unrealized loss on those securities was 
$13,000, which was included in shareholder's equity.

ITEM 3. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to claims and suits in the ordinary course of 
business, including those arising from care and treatment afforded at the 
Company's facilities and maintains insurance and, where appropriate, reserves 
with respect to the possible liability arising from such claims. Management 
believes the ultimate resolution of the proceedings presently pending against 
the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) will not have a material effect on 
the Company's financial positon, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 4.   ACQUISITIONS/CLOSURES

On August 9, 1996, the stockholders of Champion Healthcare 
Corporation ("Champion"), at a special meeting of stockholders adopted and 
approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 12, 1996, as 
amended and restated as of May 29, 1996(the "Merger Agreement")and as it may 
be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, by and among the 
Company, PC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and wholly owned 
subsidiary of the Company,  and Champion, pursuant to which such wholly owned 
subsidiary of the Company will be merged with and into Champion, resulting in 
Champion becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company 
expects the merger to consummate on or about August 16, 1996 after satisfying 
certain other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Upon consummation 
of the merger, each share of Champion's common stock and preferred stock will 
convert to one share and two shares of the Company's stock, respectively. Dr. 
Manfred George Krukmeyer, currently the Chairman of the Board and sole 
shareholder of the Company, and members of the Company's management will own 
60% of the combined company, with current Champion security holders owning 
the remaining 40%.

On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired the PHC Salt Lake Regional Hospital, a 
125-bed acute care hospital, including its surrounding campus, in Salt Lake 
City, Utah from FHP for $70.0 million in cash. The Company financed the 
acquisition with borrowings under the Credit Facility.

On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired Pioneer Valley Hospital, a 139-bed 
hospital in West Valley City, Utah; Davis Hospital and Medical Center, a 
120-bed hospital in Layton, Utah; and Santa Rosa Medical Center, a 129-bed 
hospital in Milton, Florida from Columbia/HCA Healthcare 
Corporation("Columbia"). The consideration for these hospitals consisted of 
$38.5 million in cash and the exchange of the Company's Peninsula Medical 
Center, a 119-bed hospital located in Ormond Beach, Florida; Elmwood Medical 
Center, a 135-bed hospital located in Jefferson, Louisiana; and Halstead 
Hospital, a 190-bed hospital located in Halstead, Kansas. The Company also 
purchased the real property of Elmwood and Halstead from a real estate 
investment trust ("REIT"), exchanged the Elmwood and Halstead real property 
for Pioneer's real property and sold the Pioneer real property to the REIT. 
The acquisition of the Columbia hospitals was accounted for as a purchase 
transaction. The Company financed the cash portion of the acquisition from 
borrowings under the Credit Facility.

On March 15, 1996 the Company closed Desert Palms Community Hospital, an 
acute care hospital located in Palmdale, California.

NOTE 5.  SETTLEMENT COSTS

During March 1996, the Company settled two lawsuits in connection with the 
operation of its psychiatric programs. The Company recognized a charge for 
settlement costs totaling $22.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, 
for the payment of legal fees associated with these two lawsuits, the 
settlement payments, and the write off of certain psychiatric accounts 
receivables. The Company did not admit liability in either case but resolved 
its dispute through the settlements in order to re-establish a business 
relationship and/or avoid further legal costs in connection with the disputes.

                         PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations discussed below compare the operating results for 
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 to the operating results for 
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1995. The Company closed Bellwood 
Health Center in April 1995 and closed Desert Palms Community Hospital in 
March 1996, which will be referred to as "the Closed Facilities", sold 
Elmwood Medical Center, Halstead Hospital and Peninsula Medical Center, which 
will be referred to as the "Sold Facilities", and purchased Davis Hospital 
and Medical Center, Pioneer Valley Hospital, PHC Salt Lake Hospital and Santa 
Rosa Medical Center, which will be referred to as the "Acquired Facilities".

Operating revenues increased 7.8% to $133,136,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 from $123,545,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. 
This increase was mainly due to the net revenue of the acquired facilities 
which exceeded the net revenue of the sold facilities by $11,009,000, and an 
increase of $1,827,000 in home health agency operating revenues generated in 
the Eastern Region,  resulting from an increase of 21,210, or 14.5%, in home 
health agency visits. 

Operating revenues increased 4.7% to $393,726,000 for the nine months ended 
June 30, 1996 from $375,901,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. 
This increase was mainly due to the net revenue of the acquired facilities 
which exceeded the net revenue of the sold facilities by $9,077,000 and an 
increase of $9,683,000 in the home health agency operating revenues generated 
in the Eastern Region, resulting from an increase of 147,163, or 37.9%, in 
home health agency visits.

Salaries and benefits increased 7.8% to $56,772,000 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996 from $52,652,000 for the comparable period in the prior 
year. This increase was principally due to a net increase of $2,658,000 
between the three month periods in the salaries and benefits of the acquired 
facilities compared to the salaries and benefits of the sold facilities and a 
13.4% increase in the employee workforce in the Eastern Region. The increase 
was mainly attributed to the expansion of the home health agency programs in 
the Eastern Region. As a percent of operating revenues, salaries and benefits 
were 42.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995.

                                  Page 9



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONT.

Salaries and benefits increased 6.2% to $169,934,000 for the nine months 
ended June 30, 1996 from $159,955,000 for the comparable period in the prior 
year. This increase was mainly due to a net increase between the nine month 
periods of $4,968,000 in the salaries and benefits of the acquired facilities 
compared to the salaries and benefits of the sold facilities, and a 13.9% 
increase in the employee workforce in the Eastern Region to service the 
expansion of the home health agency programs. In addition, the employee 
workforce was increased in the Eastern Region to service the increased volume 
of outpatient services. As a percent of operating revenues, salaries and 
benefits increased to 43.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from 
42.6% for the comparable period in the prior year. 

Supplies increased .4% to $10,630,000 for the three months ended June 30, 
1996 from $10,584,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. Supplies 
decreased 6.3% to $29,993,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from 
$32,016,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. The Company 
subcontracted its pharmacy purchases and management activities to a pharmacy 
management company in June 1995 which resulted in reductions in pharmacy 
supplies expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996, of  
$729,000 and $3,605,000  as compared to the three and nine months ended June 
30, 1995, respectively. The Company also reduced its non-pharmacy supplies 
expense due to improved purchasing terms and price reductions received under 
its group purchasing contract.  As a percent of operating revenues, supplies 
decreased to 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 8.6% in the 
comparable period in the prior year, and to 7.6% for the nine months ended 
June 30, 1996 from  8.5% for the comparable period in the prior year.

Purchased services increased 32.4% to $19,440,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 from $14,679,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. 
The increase was mainly due to the pharmacy management company contract which 
increased purchased services by $1,246,000 and the out of network purchased 
services for the acquired PHC Salt Lake Regional Hospital by $1,800,000.  As 
a percent of operating revenues, purchased services increased to 14.6% for 
the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 11.9% for the comparable period in 
the prior year.

Purchased services increased 25.2% to $53,614,000 for the nine months ended 
June 30, 1996 from $42,797,000 for the comparable period in the prior year 
due to the pharmacy management company contract which increased purchased 
services by $4,800,000, the out of network purchased services for the 
acquired PHC Salt Lake Regional Hospital by $1,800,000, and an increase in 
purchased services of $914,000 in the home health agency programs in the 
Eastern Region.  As a percent of operating revenues, purchased services 
increased to 13.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from 11.4% for the 
comparable period in the prior year.

Provision for bad debts decreased 2.0% to $8,994,000 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996 from $9,172,000 for the comparable period in the prior 
year. As a percent of operating revenues, the provision for bad debts 
decreased to 6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 7.4% in the 
comparable period in the prior year.

                                  Page 10



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONT.

Provision for bad debts increased 2.6% to $29,185,000 for the nine months 
ended June 30, 1996 from $28,455,000 for the comparable period in the prior 
year due primarily to an increase in provision for bad debts at the 
psychiatric facilities. The increase in the provision for bad debts at two of 
the psychiatric facilities is attributed to reductions in payments received 
from the managed care providers for psychiatric services. As a percent of 
operating revenues, provision for bad debts decreased  to 7.4% for the nine 
months ended June 30, 1996 from 7.6% for the comparable period in the prior 
year.

Depreciation and amortization increased 10.2% to $4,684,000 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 from $4,251,000 in the comparable period in the 
prior year. This increase was principally due to the acquired facilities. 
Depreciation and amortization decreased 2.5% to $12,656,000 for the nine 
months ended June 30, 1996 from $12,985,000 in the comparable period in the 
prior year. This decrease was mainly attributable to the reductions from the 
closed facilities exceeding the additional depreciation and amortization from 
the acquired facilities.

Interest expense increased 31.9% to $5,216,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 from $3,952,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. 
Interest expense increased 11.2% to $12,901,000 for the nine months ended 
June 30, 1996, from $11,604,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. 
This increase was principally due to the borrowings under the Credit Facility 
for the acquired facilities and the settlement of the two lawsuits. 

During March 1996, the Company recognized a charge for settlement of two 
lawsuits totaling $22,356,000. The charge included the payment of legal fees 
associated with the lawsuits, the settlement payments, and the write off of 
certain psychiatric accounts receivables. See Note 5 in the Notes to 
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further explanation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital as of June 30, 1996 was $113,848,000, an 
increase of $53,467,000 from September 30, 1995. The increase in working 
capital is primarily attributable to decreases in current maturities of 
long-term debt obligations and capital leases obligations, and an increase in 
accounts receivable, marketable securities and deferred income taxes. The 
increase in accounts receivable is mainly attributable to the accounts 
receivable generated by the four acquired facilities which amounted to 
$14,285,000, and the increase in psychiatric receivables and home health care 
receivables which take longer to collect than the Company's acute care 
receivables.  The decrease in current maturities of long-term debt 
obligations and capital lease obligations is attributed to the refinancing of 
mortgage debt on one of the Company's partnerships, and the pay-off of 
mortgage and capital lease debt at the three facilities sold to Columbia. 
Other significant changes in working capital included an increase in the 
marketable securities investments made by the Company's captive insurance 
company and an increase in deferred income taxes resulting from the deferred 
tax benefits associated with the settlement costs.

                                  Page 11



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - CONT.

On December 8, 1995, the Company entered into a new Credit Facility which 
provides up to $230,000,000 of revolving credit. The Credit Facility was 
increased to finance future acquisitions, refinance the existing Credit 
Facility borrowings and for general corporate purposes, including working 
capital and capital expenditures. Borrowings under the Credit Facility were 
increased from $27,500,000 at September 30, 1995 to $198,000,000 at June 30, 
1996.  The additional borrowings were used to finance the acquisition of the 
Columbia and FHP hospitals, the settlement of the two lawsuits, acquisitions 
of property, plant and equipment and for working capital purposes. The 
Company anticipates that existing capital sources and internally generated 
cash flows will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, debt service and 
working capital requirements.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS No. 121"), Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," 
which requires impairment losses to be reccorded on long-lived assets used in 
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscontinued 
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the 
assets' carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for 
long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Company will adopt 
SFAS No. 121 on October 1, 1996, and, based on current circumstances, does 
not believe the effect of the adoption will be material.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

     A significant portion of the Company's operating expenses are subject to 
inflationary increases, the impact of which the Company has historically been 
able to substantially offset through price increases, by expanding services 
and by increasing operating efficiencies. To the extent that inflation occurs 
in the future, however, the Company may not be able to pass on the increased 
costs associated with providing health care services to patients with 
govenment or managed care payors unless such payors correspondingly increase 
reimbursement rates.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION
         The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 dated
         June 28, 1996, as amended, for a proposed offering of common stock
         (the "Equity Offering"). Currently the Company expects to sell
         5,200,000 shares and selling shareholders of the Company are 
         expected to offer an additional 229,000 shares. Additionally, the
         underwriters have the option to purchase an additional 814,350 shares
         to cover over-allotments, if any. The Company's current registration
         statement contemplates a proposed maximum offering price of $10.25
         per share, which would result in net proceeds to the Company after
         estimated underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately 
         $49,800,000. The Equity Offering is expected to be consummated on 
         or about August 16, 1996. The final offering price and total number
         of shares to be offered by the Company and the selling shareholders
         are subject to finalization and may differ from those amounts
         currently contemplated.

         The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 dated
         June 24, 1996, as amended, for a proposed offering of $325,000,000
         aggregrate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006
         (the "Note Offering"). The company expects the Notes to bear interest
         at approximately 10% per annum. The Notes Offering is expected to be
         consummated on or about August 16, 1996. The final terms of the Notes
         Offering are subject to finalization and may differ from the terms
         currently contemplated.

         If consummated, the Company expects to use a portion of the net
         proceeds from the Notes Offering and Equity Offering to prepay certain
         outstanding indebtedness and reduce other outstanding indebtedness.
