                     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the proposed
transaction using the purchase method of accounting and are based upon the
assumptions and adjustments described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma
combined condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Current
Report on Form 8-K. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated
financial statements were prepared as if the proposed transaction had been
completed on January 1, 2003 for statements of operations purposes and on
December 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes.

      The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily
indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have
actually been reported had the proposed transaction occurred on the dates
indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future financial position
or results of operations of the combined company. The final purchase price
depends on the actual number of shares of New LifePoint common stock issued, the
actual amount of cash exchanged, the actual amount of debt assumed and actual
direct merger costs incurred. The final purchase price will be determined after
completion of the proposed transaction. Please refer to Note 1 to the Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information beginning on
page 5 for a detailed description of the final purchase price. The unaudited pro
forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements include adjustments,
which are based upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of
purchase price to the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities of
Province. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after
the completion of the proposed transaction and will be based upon the fair
values of actual net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation for Province is subject to
revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information
related to the fair values of Province's assets and liabilities becomes
available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of Province will
change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Additionally,
changes in Province's working capital, including the results of operations from
December 31, 2004 through the date the proposed transaction is completed, will
change the amount of goodwill recorded. Due to these varying assumptions, final
purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma
adjustments presented herein.

      These unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
statements are based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the
historical consolidated financial statements of LifePoint and Province and
related notes contained in the reports and other information LifePoint and
Province have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

      LifePoint announced on August 16, 2004 that it entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire Province for approximately $1.7 billion in cash, stock and
the assumption of debt. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the businesses
of LifePoint and Province will be combined under a newly formed company. Each
Province stockholder will receive a per share consideration comprised of $11.375
in cash and a number of shares of common stock of New LifePoint equal to an
exchange ratio of between 0.3447 and 0.2917, which shares will have a value of
$11.375 to the extent that the LifePoint average share price (defined below) is
between $33.00 and $39.00. The exchange ratio will be 0.3447 if the volume
weighted average (rounded to four decimal places) of the daily sale prices for a
share of LifePoint common stock for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending
at the close of business on the third trading day prior to the closing (the
"LifePoint average share price") is $33.00 or less, or 0.2917 if the LifePoint
average share price is $39.00 or more. If the LifePoint average share price is
between $33.00 and $39.00, then the exchange ratio will be equal to $11.375
divided by the LifePoint average share price. The LifePoint average share price
as of February 28, 2005 was $39.27. Based on this price, each Province
stockholder would have received a total per share consideration valued at
$22.83. New LifePoint will account for the proposed transaction using the
purchase method of accounting.

      The per share consideration represents approximately a 68% premium for
Province shares based on $13.61, which was the closing price of a share of
Province common stock on August 13, 2004, the last trading day prior to the
announcement of the proposed transaction. Based on $39.27, the LifePoint average
share price as of February 28, 2005 and the number of shares of Province common
stock outstanding on such date, New LifePoint will issue approximately 14.7
million shares of its common stock to Province stockholders and will pay
approximately $572.0 million in cash. Each LifePoint stockholder will be deemed
to receive one share of New LifePoint common stock for each share of LifePoint
common stock.

2.    PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE

      The estimated total purchase price of the proposed acquisition of Province
is as follows (in millions):


                                                  
Fair value of LifePoint common stock to be issued    $     576.0
Cash                                                       572.0
Assumption of Province debt obligations                    503.5
Estimated severance and Province stock option costs         80.6
Estimated direct transaction costs                          36.5
                                                     -----------
Total                                                $   1,768.6
                                                     ===========


      Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase
price as shown in the table above will be allocated to Province's net tangible
and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of
completion of the proposed transaction. Any excess of the purchase price over
the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets will be
recorded as goodwill. The estimated fair value of New LifePoint common stock to
be issued is based on the $39.27 LifePoint average share price as of February
28, 2005, as described in Note 1. Due to the variable nature of the exchange
ratio to determine the per share consideration, the measurement date to
determine the fair value of New LifePoint common stock to be issued will be
determined in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue Number 99-12,
Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer
Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination , ("EITF No. 99-12"). As
stated in paragraph 7 in EITF No. 99-12, the measurement date is the earliest
date, from the date the terms of the acquisition are agreed to and announced to
the date of final application of the formula pursuant to the acquisition
agreement, on which subsequent applications of the formula do not result in a
change in the number of shares or the amount of other consideration.

Based upon the estimated purchase price and assumptions regarding valuations of
acquired assets and liabilities, the preliminary purchase price allocation,
which will change based upon the completion of an extensive valuation to be

                                        5


performed by a third party valuation firm, is as follows (amounts in millions):


                               
Net working capital               $      92.5
Property and equipment                  705.0
Amortizable intangible assets             0.9
Other long-term assets                    2.7
Goodwill                              1,081.6
Interest rate swap                        1.7
Deferred income tax liabilities         (88.4)
Other long-term liabilities             (27.4) (a)
                                  -----------
Total                             $   1,768.6
                                  ===========


- --------------
(a)   Includes $(1.7) million in interest rate swap, which nets to $0 with above
      $1.7 million.

      The depreciation and amortization related to the fair value adjustments
are reflected as pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined
condensed consolidated financial statements.

      Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market
value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment on an
annual basis and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the
goodwill may be impaired. The preliminary purchase price allocation for Province
is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed, including the
completion of a valuation to be performed by a third party valuation firm, and
additional information on the fair values of Province's assets and liabilities
becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the assets or liabilities of
Province will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The
final purchase price allocation may differ materially from the allocation
presented here.

3.    PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

      Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase
price, to adjust amounts related to Province's assets and liabilities to a
preliminary estimate of their fair values, to reflect financing transactions
associated with the proposed transaction, to reflect changes in depreciation and
amortization expense resulting from the estimated fair value adjustments to net
tangible assets, to reflect other transactions directly related to the proposed
transaction, and to reflect the income tax effects related to the pro forma
adjustments. There were no intercompany transactions between LifePoint and
Province. Certain pro forma adjustments were required to conform Province's
accounting policies and presentation to LifePoint's accounting policies and
presentation.

      The pro forma combined provision (benefit) for income taxes does not
reflect the amounts that would have resulted had LifePoint and Province filed
consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

      LifePoint has not identified any preacquisition contingencies where the
related asset, liability or impairment is probable and the amount of the asset,
liability or impairment can be reasonably estimated. Prior to the end of the
purchase price allocation period after completion of the proposed transaction,
if information becomes available which would indicate it is probable that such
events had occurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, such items will
be included in the final purchase price allocation.

      There are no material non-recurring adjustments in the unaudited pro forma
combined condensed consolidated statements of operations.

                                        6

      estimated annual savings of $18.0 million in salaries and benefits
      expense. Additionally, approximately 63 new positions will be created at

LIBOR rate during the year ended December 31, 2004, which is 1.6243% to
determine the interest rate applied to the borrowings under term loan B and

(m)   To record the income tax effects of the pro forma statement of operations

(n)   Shares used to calculate unaudited pro forma income from continuing
      operations per diluted share were computed by adding to LifePoint's
      weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 14.7 million shares
      of New LifePoint common stock assumed to be issued, which is based upon
      the pro forma exchange ratio of 0.2917 of a share of New LifePoint common
      stock for each outstanding share of Province common stock. This pro forma
      exchange ratio is based on $39.27, the LifePoint average share price as of
      February 28, 2005. The actual exchange ratio may be different and will be
      based on the volume weighted average of the daily sale prices for a share
      of LifePoint common stock for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending
      at the close of business on the third trading day prior to the closing of
