                     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 Province acquisition 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 herein. These unaudited pro forma
combined condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the
Province acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2004 for statement 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 Province acquisition occurred on the dates
indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future financial position
or results of operations of LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. The final purchase price
for Province depends on the actual number of shares of LifePoint Hospitals, Inc.
common stock issued, the actual amount of cash exchanged, the actual amount of
debt assumed and actual direct merger costs incurred. Please refer to the Notes
to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
for a detailed description of the calculation of the 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 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 Province
acquisition 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.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROVINCE ACQUISITION

     LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. ("LifePoint") announced on April 15, 2005, that
Historic LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. ("Historic LifePoint"), formerly known as
LifePoint Hospitals, Inc., and Province Healthcare Company ("Province
Healthcare") have completed their merger to form a new public company, LifePoint
Hospitals, Inc. (formerly known as Lakers Holding Corp.). Historic LifePoint
stockholders and Province Healthcare stockholders approved the merger at special
meetings of each company's respective stockholders, each held on Monday, March
28, 2005.
TP>In accordance with the terms of their merger agreement, Historic LifePoint
and Province Healthcare each became wholly owned subsidiaries of LifePoint. All
outstanding shares of both companies were exchanged for shares of LifePoint. In
addition, Province Healthcare stockholders are entitled to receive $11.375 in
cash and 0.2917 of a share of LifePoint common stock for each share of Province
Healthcare common stock they held at the close of business on April 15, 2005. No
fractional shares of LifePoint common stock will be issued in the merger, and
Province Healthcare stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive
fractional shares are entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of those
fractional shares equal to the fractional share interest multiplied by $44.53,
the last sale price of one share of LifePoint common stock on the NASDAQ
National Market on April 14, 2005, which is the last trading day preceding April
15, 2005, the closing date of the merger. Each Historic LifePoint stockholder
received one share of LifePoint common stock for each share of Historic
LifePoint common stock held by such Historic LifePoint stockholder on a
one-for-one basis.

     Based on $42.79, the 20-day weighted average Historic LifePoint stock price
as of April 12, 2005 and the number of shares of Province common stock
outstanding on such date, LifePoint issued approximately 15.0 million shares of
its common stock to Province stockholders and paid approximately $586.3 million
in cash. Each LifePoint stockholder received one share of LifePoint common stock
for each share of Historic LifePoint common stock.

2.  PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE

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

<Table>
                                                            
Fair value of LifePoint common stock issued.................   $  595.9
Cash........................................................      586.3
Assumption of Province debt obligations.....................      503.5
Estimated severance and Province stock option costs.........       77.0
Estimated direct transaction costs..........................       37.2
                                                               --------
Total.......................................................   $1,799.9
                                                               ========
</Table>

     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 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 LifePoint common stock issued was based
on the $39.63 Historic LifePoint average share price as of February 22, 2005,
which is 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.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
               CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- (CONTINUED)

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

<Table>
                                                            
Net working capital.........................................   $   92.5
Property and equipment......................................      705.0
Amortizable intangible assets...............................        0.9
Other long-term assets......................................        2.7
Goodwill....................................................    1,112.9
Interest rate swap..........................................        1.7
Deferred income tax liabilities.............................      (88.4)
Other long-term liabilities.................................      (27.4)(a)
                                                               --------
Total.......................................................   $1,799.9
                                                               ========
</Table>

- ---------------

(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 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
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 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.

    reflecting net decreases in supply expenses and other operating expenses
    such as legal, accounting and consulting fees. The projected decrease in
    supply expenses and other operating expenses are based upon a preliminary
    analysis of savings from the Company's group purchasing organization and
    elimination of duplicative costs. LifePoint may be unable to fully realize
    these estimated net cost savings. The following is an estimate of the net
    cost savings anticipated as a result of the Province acquisition (in

(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 15.0 million shares of
     LifePoint common stock issued, which is based upon the pro forma exchange
     ratio of 0.2917 of a share of LifePoint common stock for each outstanding
     share of Province common stock. This pro forma exchange ratio is based on
     $42.79, the 20-day weighted average LifePoint stock price as of April 12,
     2005.

     Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the "if-converted" method.
     Interest expense related to convertible notes, net of taxes, is added to
     income from continuing operations for the numerator of this calculation.
     The interest expense, net of taxes, added to income from continuing
     operations was $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
