Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On May 17, 2001, HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (formerly
HealthTronics, Inc.) ("HealthTronics") purchased all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Heritage Medical Services of Texas, Inc. and HSC of
Gulf Coast, Inc. (collectively the "Corporations") for $565,000 in cash,
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by HealthTronics and HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation and Surgical Health Corporation. The acquisitions are given
financial effect as of April 1, 2001. The Corporations own a 52.07% interest in
and Heritage is the general partner of Gulf Coast Lithotripsy Associates, L.P.
("GCLA"). GCLA owns a 70% interest in and is the general partner of Lithotripsy
Associates of Texas, Limited Partnership ("LAT").

            The purchase price was determined and negotiated by the parties
based on the expected annual cash flow to be generated by the Corporations and
subsidiaries. HealthTronics financed the acquisitions with working capital
generated by its business.

            Earlier this year, HealthTronics announced that it had agreed with
HEALTHSOUTH Corporation that HealthTronics would be able to use HEALTHSOUTH's
surgery centers to provide OssaTron(R) orthopaedic shock wave treatment for
chronic plantar fasciitis. Two HealthTronics directors, Russell Maddox and
Michael D. Martin, are former executive officers of HEALTHSOUTH Corporation.

to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

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

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined consolidated financial position of Heritage

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

On May 17, 2001, HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (formerly HealthTronics,
Inc.) ("HealthTronics") purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Heritage Medical Services of Texas, Inc. and HSC of Gulf Coast, Inc.
(collectively the "Corporations"). The Corporations own a 52.07% interest in and
Heritage is the general partner of Gulf Coast Lithotripsy Associates, L.P.
("GCLA"). GCLA owns a 70% interest in and is the general partner of Lithotripsy
Associates of Texas, Limited Partnership ("LAT"). GCLA and LAT own and operate
lithotripters in Houston, Texas. Lithotripters provide non-invasive treatment
services for certain urologic conditions.

Profits and losses of GCLA and LAT are allocated to and between the partners of
GCLA and LAT in proportion to their respective partnership interests.
Distributions and appropriations of the profits and losses are made to the
partners quarterly as defined by the partnership agreement.

The Corporations are under common ownership by HEALTHSOUTH Corporation
("HEALTHSOUTH").

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying combined consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Corporations, GCLA and LAT (collectively "the Company"). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the combined consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is recorded at cost. Upon sale or retirement of equipment, the cost
and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the respective accounts
and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets which range from 3-10 years.

                                                                               9

         Notes to Combined Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

MINORITY INTEREST

The equity of minority investors in the Company is reported on the combined
consolidated balance sheet as minority interest. Minority interest reported in
the combined consolidated income statement reflects the respective interest in
the income of the limited partnerships attributable to the minority investors.

REVENUES

Revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients,
third-party payors and others for services rendered and are recognized at the
date of service.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established for revenue estimated to be
uncollectible and is adjusted periodically based upon management's evaluation of
current economic conditions, historical collection experience, and other
relevant factors which, in the opinion of management, deserve recognition in
estimating such allowance.

Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition
and collateral is generally not required.

INCOME TAXES

Certain of the entities comprising the Company are partnerships. For these
entities, the partners, including the Corporations, assume responsibility for
the income tax of such entities. The Corporations file a consolidated tax return
with HEALTHSOUTH. HEALTHSOUTH does not charge the Corporations for their income
taxes. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect any
provision for income taxes. Unaudited pro forma income tax expense is shown on
the accompanying financial statements related to the Corporations.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments are comprised principally of cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these
financial instruments approximate their fair values.


2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The information below summarizes related party transactions with HEALTHSOUTH as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2000:

                                                                              10

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)


                                                        
              Payable to related party                     $345,975
                                                           ========
              Note payable to related party                $282,865
                                                           ========


              Related party interest expense               $ 33,467
              Related party management fees                  81,361
                                                           --------
                                                           $114,828
                                                           ========


The payable to related party represents normal cash transactions between
HEALTHSOUTH and the Company. HEALTHSOUTH provides cash management and certain
other services for the Company. Distributions to HEALTHSOUTH are also recorded
in this account. No interest is charged by HEALTHSOUTH on these accounts.
Fluctuations in this account reflect cash flow from operations in excess of
expenses for the current year. The note payable to related party represents a
note with HEALTHSOUTH related to a machine the Company acquired. This machine is
collateralized against the note. See footnote 4 for the terms of note. The
Company also pays a management fee to HEALTHSOUTH for general management
services. The Company believes such amounts are no less favorable than amounts
that would be incurred for similar services with outside parties.

3. CONTINGENCIES

The Corporations participate in HEALTHSOUTH's self-insured plans for
professional liability and comprehensive general liability. In addition,
HEALTHSOUTH purchased underlying insurance which would cover all claims once
established limits have been exceeded. It is the opinion of HEALTHSOUTH's
management that, at December 31, 2000, HEALTHSOUTH has adequate reserves to
cover losses on asserted and unasserted claims. The Company accrues for any
claims through intercompany receivables/payables when management estimates that
a loss is probable.

4. NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

As of December 31, 2000, note payable to related party consists of a note
payable between LAT and HEALTHSOUTH. The note bears interest at a rate of 9.86%
per annum and is payable in monthly principal installments of $6,678 plus
interest. The note is collateralized by equipment.

The note is payable as follows:


                                                      
            2001                                         $ 78,939
            2002                                           78,939
            2003                                           78,939
            2004                                           46,048
                                                         --------
                                                         $282,865
                                                         ========


Interest paid during 2000 was $33,467.

                                                                              11

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in a HEALTHSOUTH 401(k)
savings plan once they have completed one year of service with a minimum of
1,000 hours worked. Contributions to the plan by the Company were not
significant in 2000.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In February 2001, the Company made distributions to its owners totaling
$657,972. Of this amount, $288,415 was paid to its minority owners.


Item 7(b) -- Pro Forma Financial Information

On May 17, 2001 HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (formerly HealthTronics,
Inc.) ("HealthTronics") purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Heritage Medical Services of Texas, Inc. and HSC of Gulf Coast, Inc.

The following unaudited pro forma information includes the unaudited pro forma
balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 as if the acquisition of Heritage Medical
Services of Texas, Inc. and HSC of Gulf Coast, Inc. and subsidiaries
(collectively the "Company") had occurred on that date, and includes the
unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
2000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as if the acquisition of the
Company had occurred as of December 31, 2000. Due to the nature of the assets
acquired, HealthTronics believes that it is more informative to provide all
balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2000 rather than March 31, 2001. These
pro forma statements do not necessarily reflect the results of operations, as
they would have been if HealthTronics had completed the acquisition on the dates
indicated above. The acquisition of the Company was accounted for as a purchase.
This unaudited pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the
separate financial statements and notes of HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc.
and the Company.
