At February 1, 1994, the Company owned or leased through its subsidiaries or joint ventures 81 acute care hospitals (the "affiliated hospitals") and is an investor, through joint ventures, in four other acute care hospitals. The Company's affiliated hospitals are located in rural, suburban and urban communities in 21 southern and western states. Approximately 40% of Healthtrust's affiliated hospitals are the sole providers of general acute care hospital services in their communities, and an additional 20% are one of two general acute care hospitals in their communities. The Company's affiliated hospitals generally provide a full range of inpatient and outpatient health care services, including medical/surgical, diagnostic, obstetric, pediatric and emergency services. Many of the Company's affiliated hospitals also offer certain specialty programs and services, including occupational medicine programs, home health care services, skilled nursing services, physical therapy programs, rehabilitation services, alcohol and drug dependency programs and selected mental health services. The Company has experienced consistent growth since it began operations through the acquisition of a group of hospitals and related assets (the "Formation") from Hospital Corporation of America ("HCA") in September 1987. The 81 affiliated hospitals presently operated by the Company generated approximately $2.4 billion of net operating revenue and net income before extraordinary charges and preferred stock dividends of $121.6 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993, compared with approximately $1.8 billion of net operating revenue and a net loss before extraordinary charges and preferred stock dividends of $101.3 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1989 generated by the 94 hospitals then operated by the Company. In addition, for the same periods, the Company's operating cash flow (net operating revenue less hospital service costs) increased from $339.2 million to $506.0 million. The Company's principal objective is to be a significant and growing provider of low cost, high quality health care services in the markets in which it operates. Although the means of achieving this objective will vary depending upon the local market and the relative position of the Company's affiliated hospitals and other health care businesses in that market, the strategies employed generally include (i) expanding market share through improvements in quality and reductions in cost for existing services and through the provision of new or expanded services to meet underserved needs, (ii) participating in quality health care delivery networks through affiliations, joint ventures, partnerships and other arrangements with physicians, other hospitals and providers of other health care related services, (iii) continuously improving operating and financial performance, and (iv) developing the resources needed by management to operate more effectively in the changing health care environment. In addition, the Company has pursued and will continue to pursue other opportunities to grow through the acquisition, construction or development of hospital facilities or other health care related businesses that are or can be positioned competitively in their markets consistent with the Company's objectives. The Company recently acquired Nashville Memorial Hospital in Madison, Tennessee and executed a definitive agreement to purchase Holy Cross Hospital of Salt Lake City, Utah, Holy Cross-Jordan Valley Hospital in Jordan Valley, Utah and St. Benedict's Hospital in Ogden, Utah. On March 22, 1994, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") informed the Company that it will challenge the acquisition of the three Utah hospitals. The Company is seeking to resolve the issues raised by the FTC. Consistent with the Company's strategy, Healthtrust entered into an agreement on January 9, 1994 to acquire EPIC Holdings, Inc. ("EPIC Holdings" and, together with its subsidiaries, "EPIC") (the "Acquisition"). EPIC is a health care services provider that owns and operates 34 general acute care hospitals providing inpatient, outpatient and other specialty services in 10 southern, southwestern and western states. Approximately 29% of EPIC's hospitals are the sole providers of general acute care hospital services in their communities, and an additional 27% of EPIC's hospitals are one of two general acute care hospitals in their communities. Following the Acquisition, Healthtrust will be the second largest hospital management company in the United States, operating 115 hospitals in 22 states. Of these 115 hospitals, approximately 37% are the sole providers of general acute care hospital services in their communities and an additional 22% are one of two such providers in their communities. Total combined net operating revenue, operating cash flow and net 3 6 income before extraordinary charges and preferred stock dividends for Healthtrust and EPIC for their 1993 fiscal years were approximately $3.4 billion, $651.4 million and $128.7 million, respectively, after giving effect to the Acquisition and the Financing Plan, assuming 100% of each issue of Specified EPIC Debt Securities is purchased in the Tender Offers (all as hereinafter defined). The Company believes that the Acquisition will enhance the Company's presence in the geographic areas it presently serves and provide access to new markets. In addition, the Acquisition will allow the Company to expand its health care delivery capabilities in such areas as home health care, geropsychiatric care, rehabilitation services and physical therapy services, thereby enhancing the Company's development of integrated health care delivery networks designed to provide a full range of health care services to managed care plans, self-insured employers and certain government payors. Healthtrust also expects to realize operating cost savings of approximately $50 million during the fiscal year ending August 31, 1995 resulting from increased economies of scale and improved operating efficiencies following the Acquisition. After giving effect to these savings, the Acquisition is expected to add $0.10 to $0.12 per share to the Company's earnings during fiscal year 1995. See "Investment Considerations -- Acquisition-Related Considerations," "The Acquisition and the Financing Plan" and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. THE FINANCING PLAN In connection with the Acquisition, on March 15, 1994, EPIC and certain of its subsidiaries commenced offers to purchase up to 100% of five series of outstanding debt securities of EPIC (the "Specified EPIC Debt Securities") in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $608.5 million (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $529.9 million as of December 31, 1993). In connection therewith, the consent of the holders of the Specified EPIC Debt Securities is being solicited to eliminate or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain event of default provisions related thereto. The offers to purchase the Specified EPIC Debt Securities and the related solicitation of consents are hereinafter referred to as the "Tender Offers." In addition, following the consummation of the Acquisition, it is anticipated that approximately $220.8 million aggregate principal amount of certain other outstanding EPIC indebtedness (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $142.6 million as of December 31, 1993) will be redeemed or prepaid in accordance with the provisions thereof (the "Debt Redemption"). The Acquisition, the Tender Offers and the Debt Redemption will be financed through the following: (i) the offering by the Company of the Common Stock offered hereby, (ii) the public offering by the Company of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of a new series of subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Debt Offering"), (iii) the refinancing of the Company's existing bank credit facility with a new bank credit facility (the "1994 Credit Agreement") providing for aggregate commitments of up to $1.2 billion and (iv) cash on hand. The offering of the Common Stock offered hereby is expected to occur substantially contemporaneously with the Acquisition, the Subordinated Debt Offering, the Debt Redemption and the 1994 Credit Agreement, and is conditioned upon the consummation of the Acquisition. It is anticipated that the Tender Offers will remain open until approximately five business days after the consummation of the Acquisition. See "The Acquisition and the Financing Plan" and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. 4 7 THE OFFERINGS Of the 6,220,404 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, 4,976,323 shares are being offered in the United States and Canada by the U.S. Underwriters and 1,244,081 shares are being offered in a concurrent offering outside the United States and Canada by the International Underwriters (the "Offerings").

SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS Following the consummation of the Acquisition and the Financing Plan, the Company will continue to have substantial indebtedness and, as a result, significant debt service obligations. As of November 30, 1993, the Company's ratio of long-term debt (including current maturities) to stockholders' equity was 1.4 to 1 and approximately $167.0 million of the Company's $948.3 million of long-term debt was subject to variable interest rates. After giving effect to the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Financing Plan (as hereinafter defined), at November 30, 1993, the ratio of the Company's long-term debt (including current maturities) to stockholders' equity would have been 2.1 to 1, and the portion of the Company's $1,708.1 million of long-term debt subject to variable interest rates would have been approximately $713.0 million, in each case assuming 100% of each issue of the outstanding Specified EPIC Debt Securities is purchased in the Tender Offers. See "Capitalization" and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important consequences to holders of the Common Stock, including the following: (i) the Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired; (ii) a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available to the Company for its operations; (iii) certain of the Company's borrowings are and will continue to be at variable rates of interest, which causes the Company to be vulnerable to increases in interest rates; and (iv) such indebtedness contains numerous financial and other restrictive covenants, including those restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the creation or existence of liens, the declaration or payment of dividends, certain investments, the acquisition of securities of the Company, and certain extraordinary corporate transactions. Failure by the Company to comply with such covenants may result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance its obligations with respect to its indebtedness depends on its financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond its control. Although the Company's cash flow from its operations has been sufficient to meet its debt service obligations in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company's operating results will continue to be sufficient for payment of the Company's indebtedness. HEALTH CARE REFORM On November 20, 1993, President Clinton submitted proposed comprehensive health care reform legislation ("Administration's Proposal") to Congress. 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 coverage for individuals and employers with less than 5,000 employees. All employers would be required to make 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 full range of benefits, including hospital services, and the provision of such benefits would be mandated by the federal government. 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 Medicare and Medicaid programs to providers, including hospitals. The Administration's Proposal would also place stringent limits on the annual growth in health plan premiums. Other comprehensive reform proposals have been or are expected 6 9 to be introduced in Congress. These other proposals contain or are expected to contain coverage guarantees, benefit standards, financing and cost control mechanisms which are different than the Administration's Proposal. The Company is unable to predict what, if any, reforms will be adopted, or when any such reforms will be implemented. No assurance can be given that such reforms will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's revenues or earnings. REIMBURSEMENT AND REGULATION The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from Medicare and Medicaid programs. Such programs are highly regulated and subject to frequent and in certain cases substantial changes. Significant changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs have resulted in reduced levels of reimbursement for a substantial portion of hospital procedures and costs. Changes in other existing reimbursement programs are scheduled or anticipated in the future which changes are likely to result in further reductions in reimbursement levels. In addition, the Company's revenue could be affected by any implementation of federal government sequestration under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation relating to licensure, conduct of operations, addition of facilities and services and cost containment. Over the past several years, federal and state initiatives have been undertaken to evaluate the impact that financial arrangements between health care providers and physicians may have on Medicare and state health care programs. As a result of such initiatives, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") 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 Social Security Act of 1935, as amended (the "Social Security Act"). In addition, certain provisions of Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, commonly known as the "Stark Bill," have recently been amended to significantly broaden the scope of prohibited physician self-referrals thereunder. Certain of the Company's current financial arrangements with physicians do not qualify for the safe harbor exemptions and, as a result, risk scrutiny by HHS and may be subject to enforcement action. Additionally, the Company believes that certain of EPIC's financial arrangements with physicians do not qualify for the safe harbor exemptions. The Company's participation in and development of joint ventures and other financial arrangements with physicians could be adversely affected by the recent HHS regulations and Stark Bill amendments. The Company is unable to predict the future course of federal, state and local regulation or legislation, including Medicare and Medicaid statutes and regulations. Further changes in the regulatory framework could have an adverse impact on the Company. DEPENDENCE ON PHYSICIANS AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL Since physicians generally control the majority of hospital admissions, the success of the Company, in part, is dependent upon the number and quality of physicians on its hospitals' medical staffs. The Company's operations also are dependent on the efforts, ability and experience of its key corporate and hospital management teams. The loss of some or all of these key personnel or an inability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified physicians could adversely affect the Company's hospitals. COMPETITION The health care business is highly competitive and subject to excess capacity. Competition among hospitals and other health care 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, an increasing supply of physicians and other factors. In many geographic 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. Certain of these hospitals have greater financial resources than the Company's hospitals and offer a wider range of services than the Company's hospitals. Even in communities in which the Company's hospitals are the sole providers of general acute care hospital services, the Company may face competition from local providers of outpatient services and hospitals and 7 10 other health care providers in nearby communities. 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 health care, including insurance companies and employers, to revise payment methodologies and monitor health care expenditures in order to contain health care costs. Due in part to these initiatives, managed care organizations such as health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), which offer prepaid and discounted medical services packages, represent an increasing segment of health care payors, tending to reduce the historical rate of growth of hospital revenue. In addition, hospitals owned by governmental agencies or other tax-exempt entities benefit from endowments, charitable contributions and tax-exempt financing, which advantages are not enjoyed by the Company's hospitals. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Certain of the Company's Utah hospitals, along with other Utah hospitals, were the subject of a federal grand jury investigation of possible criminal violations of the federal antitrust laws in connection with nursing compensation practices. The Company has been informed by the Antitrust Division of U.S. Department of Justice that the Government does not intend to pursue criminal charges against the Company but may pursue civil proceedings in connection with the actions of its Utah facilities. Although the Company attempts to structure its compensation practices to comply with federal and state law, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this ongoing civil investigation. On March 9, 1994, Memorial Hospital at Gulfport ("Memorial") filed suit against EPIC and the Company in Mississippi State court, alleging that EPIC agreed to sell Garden Park Community Hospital ("Garden Park") in Garden Park, Mississippi to Memorial for approximately $23.3 million. The suit seeks specific performance of the alleged agreement and actual and punitive damages. In addition, Memorial is seeking a preliminary injunction to prohibit consummation of the Acquisition until the final disposition of its suit or, in the alternative, a preliminary injunction prohibiting EPIC and the Company from encumbering or disposing of the assets comprising Garden Park. A bench trial is scheduled to begin on April 14, 1994 to determine whether a contract for the sale of Garden Park was created. EPIC believes that no agreement with Memorial was reached for the sale of Garden Park and that Memorial's suit has no merit. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY As is typical in the health care industry, the Company is subject to claims and legal actions by patients and others in the ordinary course of business. The Company generally self-insures against substantially all of its professional and general liabilities and maintains an unfunded reserve for liability risks. While the Company's cash flow has been adequate to provide for liability claims in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company's cash flow will continue to be adequate. If payments with respect to self-insured liabilities increase in the future, the results of operations of the Company could be adversely affected. PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER As of December 31, 1993, the trustee (the "Plan Trustee") of the Plan held approximately 31% of the outstanding Common Stock. After giving effect to the Offerings, as of December 31, 1993, the Plan Trustee would have held approximately 28% of the outstanding Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock held by the Plan Trustee are held in the accounts of participants in the Plan. Such participants are able to direct the Plan Trustee to vote the shares allocated to their accounts, except when the Plan Trustee believes its fiduciary duties obligate it to override such directions. As a principal stockholder, the Plan Trustee may have the ability to influence the policies and affairs of the Company to a greater extent than other stockholders. FORMATION-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS In connection with the Formation of Healthtrust in 1987, HCA agreed to indemnify the Company against tax claims, professional liability claims and claims covered by standard public liability insurance relating to the acquired assets, in each case relating to periods prior to the Formation. In the past HCA has satisfied its 8 11 obligation to indemnify the Company for all such claims, and the Company has no reason to believe that HCA would not continue to do so. However, if HCA should fail to meet its indemnification obligations, the Company would be responsible for the satisfaction of any such claims in the future, which claims, if substantial, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. With respect to certain taxable periods ending on or prior to the Formation in September 1987, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed federal income tax returns on a consolidated basis with HCA and, as a result, under federal income tax law, the Company and such subsidiaries are severally liable with HCA for the federal income taxes of HCA's consolidated group for such periods. However, in connection with the Formation, HCA agreed that it would be responsible for the payment of all taxes, assessments, interest and penalties imposed by any taxing authority for any periods prior to and including the date of the Formation. HCA has disclosed that following a recent examination of HCA's federal income tax returns for tax years 1981 through 1990, the Internal Revenue Service has proposed certain adjustments to such returns, and HCA has received notices of deficiencies for certain years, which it is contesting through litigation. Should HCA be unable to sustain its position on disputed matters, additional taxes would approximate $383 million, plus accrued interest of approximately $640 million as of December 31, 1993, for taxable periods in which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were members of HCA's consolidated group. If the additional taxes that have been asserted by the Internal Revenue Service were finally determined to be due and HCA were unable to, or for any other reason did not, pay such taxes or related interest, the Company could be responsible for such payment, which payment could have a material adverse effect on the Company. ERISA MATTERS In connection with the Formation in 1987, the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") purchased approximately 50.9 million shares of Common Stock for $810 million. The purchase price was based on the determination of the committee administering the ESOP (the "ESOP Committee") as to the fair market value of such shares at that time. Based on such determination, and subject to limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company has claimed income tax deductions for contributions to the ESOP for the years to which such contributions relate. Contributions to the ESOP were used by the ESOP to pay interest and principal on the loans owed to the Company. These payments were in turn used by the Company to pay interest and principal on the ESOP term loans under the Company's previous bank credit agreement and certain other indebtedness related to the ESOP. As a result, the Company was effectively able to obtain a deduction for principal, as well as interest payments, on ESOP-related borrowings. If the ESOP Committee's determination of fair market value was incorrect, the Company's contribution to the ESOP might not be fully deductible, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. It was intended that qualified holders of the ESOP term loans and the other indebtedness incurred in connection with the ESOP be entitled to exclude from taxable income 50% of the interest received on such indebtedness. In addition, the loans to the ESOP and the purchase of Common Stock by the ESOP were intended to qualify for exemption from the "prohibited transaction" rules under the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which rules generally prohibit sale and loan transactions between an employer and a qualified retirement plan. The 50% interest exclusion and the prohibited transaction exemption were available only if the plan was designed to invest primarily in "employer securities." It is likely that if Healthtrust and HCA were deemed to have been members of the same "controlled group of corporations" for purposes of the relevant section in the Code or ERISA, the stock of HCA, and not Healthtrust's Common Stock, would have been "employer securities" for these purposes. Healthtrust and HCA concluded that they were not in the same "controlled group of corporations" (as defined in Section 409(1) of the Code). If, notwithstanding such conclusion, HCA's common stock were deemed to have been "employer securities" for such purposes, there could be severe adverse consequences to Healthtrust, including violation of the prohibited transaction rules discussed above (which could subject Healthtrust or other disqualified persons with respect to the ESOP to an excise tax and could require that certain corrective action be taken) and retroactive increases in the rate of interest payable on certain of the Company's previously outstanding ESOP-related indebtedness as a result of the loss of the 50% interest exclusion. In 9 12 addition, the 50% interest exclusion and the prohibited transaction exemption were available only if the price paid by the ESOP reflected the fair market value of the employer securities as determined in good faith by the plan fiduciaries. Accordingly, if the ESOP Committee's determination of fair market value was incorrect, the 50% interest exclusion might not have been fully available and the Company or other disqualified persons may have committed prohibited transactions, either of which events could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Note 6 to "Capitalization." ACQUISITION-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS The purchase of EPIC common stock by the EPIC Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "EPIC ESOP") in connection with EPIC's acquisition (the "EPIC Formation") of its facilities from American Medical International, Inc. ("AMI") in 1988 was structured in a manner similar to the purchase of Common Stock by the ESOP in connection with the Formation of Healthtrust and was intended to (i) qualify for exemption from the "prohibited transaction" rules of the Code and ERISA, (ii) permit EPIC to deduct for federal income tax purposes its contributions to the EPIC ESOP used to pay principal and interest on loans made by EPIC to the EPIC ESOP and (iii) permit qualified holders of indebtedness incurred in connection with the EPIC ESOP to benefit from the 50% interest exclusion provision referred to in "-- ERISA Matters" above. Exemption from the prohibited transaction rules and the availability of the ESOP-related benefits described above depends on (i) the amount the EPIC ESOP paid for EPIC common stock not having exceeded the fair market value of that EPIC common stock, (ii) the EPIC common stock being "employer securities" and (iii) compliance with the other relevant provisions of the Code and ERISA. If (i) the EPIC ESOP paid an amount in excess of fair market value for the EPIC common stock, (ii) the EPIC common stock were to fail to qualify as "employer securities" or (iii) the EPIC ESOP were to fail to comply with the other relevant provisions of the Code or ERISA, such events could result in material adverse consequences to EPIC similar to those described with respect to the Company under "-- ERISA Matters" above, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company following consummation of the Acquisition. See "The Acquisition and the Financing Plan" and Note 6 to "Capitalization." In addition, although the Company believes that the actions which the parties intend to take with respect to the EPIC ESOP pursuant to the ESOP Agreement (as hereinafter defined) should not give rise to any adverse tax or other consequences to EPIC or the Company, if the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor were to successfully challenge certain aspects of such actions, the Company or EPIC could be subject to certain taxes or penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company following consummation of the Acquisition. Additionally, the termination of contributions to the EPIC ESOP in connection with the Acquisition will result in a default on the EPIC ESOP Notes (as hereinafter defined). If the EPIC ESOP Notes are not redeemed pursuant to the Debt Redemption, such default could adversely affect the Company. See "The Acquisition and the Financing Plan." In connection with the EPIC Formation, AMI agreed to indemnify EPIC against certain losses, including the loss of certain expected tax benefits. If AMI is unable to or otherwise does not satisfy such indemnification obligations, EPIC could be responsible for such losses, which could adversely affect the Company following the Acquisition. The Company will use the proceeds of the Offerings to fund the Acquisition. While the Company believes that it can improve the profitability of the operations acquired from EPIC, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize expected operating and economic efficiencies following the Acquisition or that the Acquisition will not adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial condition. See the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. 10 13 THE ACQUISITION AND THE FINANCING PLAN On January 9, 1994, Healthtrust, Odyssey Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Healthtrust ("Odyssey") and EPIC entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which Odyssey will merge into EPIC and EPIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Healthtrust. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the holders of EPIC common stock (and securities exercisable therefor) will become entitled to receive $7.00 per share in cash from Healthtrust. It is anticipated that the Company will purchase approximately 35.7 million shares of EPIC common stock (and securities exercisable therefor) at the closing of the Acquisition, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $250 million, comprised of the following securities: (i) approximately 13.6 million shares of EPIC common stock allocated or allocable to EPIC ESOP participants, (ii) approximately 15.9 million other shares of outstanding EPIC common stock and (iii) outstanding stock appreciation rights, warrants and options exercisable for approximately 6.2 million shares of EPIC common stock. The consummation of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the approval of the stockholders of EPIC, certain regulatory approvals and the consent solicitation in connection with the Specified EPIC Debt Securities described below. The approval of the Acquisition requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of EPIC common stock entitled to vote thereon. Subject to certain conditions, each of AMI and the EPIC ESOP Trustee has agreed to vote the shares of EPIC common stock over which it exercises voting power (in the aggregate approximately 52% of the EPIC common stock outstanding on January 8, 1994) in favor of the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated ESOP Agreement (the "ESOP Agreement") with EPIC Holdings, EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. ("EPIC Group"), U.S. Trust Company of California, N.A., the trustee of the trust established under the EPIC ESOP (the "EPIC ESOP Trustee") and the EPIC Committee administering the EPIC ESOP. Pursuant to the ESOP Agreement, all shares of EPIC common stock held by the EPIC ESOP Trustee and not allocated or allocable to EPIC ESOP participants as of the closing of the Acquisition (approximately 10.6 million shares) will be returned to EPIC in full satisfaction of certain loans granted by EPIC to the EPIC ESOP Trustee, and contributions to the EPIC ESOP will be terminated. Subject to certain Code limitations, EPIC has agreed to contribute approximately $27.6 million in cash to the EPIC ESOP upon consummation of the Acquisition or within one business day thereafter, which contribution will not be applied to repay EPIC ESOP loans but will be allocated directly to participants' accounts. In addition, following the Acquisition, the EPIC ESOP participants who continue to be employed by the Company will be entitled to participate in the Plan or in a similar plan to be established by the Company (the Plan or such other plan, the "Healthtrust Plan"). Subject to Code limitations, EPIC will contribute to the EPIC ESOP an aggregate dollar amount equivalent to the 4% profit sharing contribution (described below) to which EPIC ESOP participants would have been entitled had they participated in the Plan from March 1, 1994 through the Acquisition closing date. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide certain minimum retirement benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan and subject to Code limitations, including (i) a profit sharing contribution by the Company on behalf of EPIC ESOP participants who participate in the Healthtrust Plan of 4% of aggregate compensation from the Acquisition closing date through December 31, 1994 and (ii) a matching contribution by the Company of 100% of participants' salary deferrals for each EPIC ESOP participant who participates in the Healthtrust Plan, up to a maximum of 3% of compensation, for the period from the Acquisition closing date through December 31, 1998. In the event that fewer shares are so allocated or allocable to EPIC ESOP participants as of the closing or the full amount of contributions to the Healthtrust Plan are not permitted to be made due to Code limitations, additional contributions will be made in the future in lieu of any shares not so allocated or allocable and any contributions not so permitted to be made. The obligations of the parties under the ESOP Agreement are conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Acquisition. The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the ESOP Agreement and reference is hereby made to the ESOP Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. In connection with the Acquisition and the related merger agreement, on March 15, 1994, EPIC and certain of its subsidiaries commenced offers to purchase up to 100% of the following outstanding debt securities of EPIC at the following purchase prices: (i) $250.0 million aggregate principal amount (represent- 11 14 ing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $172.2 million as of December 31, 1993) of 12% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2002 of EPIC Holdings (the "EPIC 12% Notes") for 112% of accreted value (expected to be approximately $178.8 million at the time of purchase), (ii) $160 million aggregate principal amount of 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 of EPIC Group (the "EPIC 10 7/8% Notes") for 116% of principal amount, (iii) $100 million aggregate principal amount (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $99.6 million as of December 31, 1993) of 11 3/8% Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 2001 of EPIC Properties (the "EPIC Class 1 Mortgage Notes"), for 118 3/4% of principal amount, (iv) approximately $83.5 million aggregate principal amount (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $83.1 million as of December 31, 1993) of 11 1/2% Class B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 2001 of EPIC Properties (the "EPIC Class 2 Mortgage Notes") for 121 1/8% of principal amount and (v) $15 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Class B-3 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 1998 (with an interest rate of 6 3/8% at February 1, 1994) of EPIC Properties (the "EPIC Class 3 Mortgage Notes" and, together with the EPIC Class 1 Mortgage Notes and EPIC Class 2 Mortgage Notes, the "EPIC Mortgage Notes") for 103 1/8% of principal amount. In connection therewith, the consent of the holders of the Specified EPIC Debt Securities is being solicited to eliminate or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain event of default provisions relating to any Specified EPIC Debt Securities which remain outstanding after the offers to purchase are completed. Consent payments of $20 per $1,000 of principal amount will be made with respect to the Specified EPIC Debt Securities for which consents have been validly delivered (and not revoked) prior to the acceptance thereof. The obligation to make the consent payments is subject to certain conditions, including the acceptance for purchase and payment of the applicable issue of Specified EPIC Debt Securities in the Tender Offers. The obligation to purchase and pay for the Specified EPIC Debt Securities in the Tender Offers is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, the Offerings and the Subordinated Debt Offering, (ii) the Company having entered into the 1994 Credit Agreement and having received sufficient proceeds of borrowings thereunder to consummate the Tender Offers, (iii) receipt of validly delivered and unrevoked consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each of the EPIC 12% Notes, EPIC 10 7/8% Notes and EPIC Mortgage Notes and (iv) there having been validly tendered and not withdrawn at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each of the EPIC 12% Notes, EPIC 10 7/8% Notes and EPIC Mortgage Notes. Each purchaser in the Tender Offers has reserved the right, in the event any condition to such purchaser's obligation to accept Specified EPIC Debt Securities for purchase and payment is not satisfied or waived, to accept the consents relating to such Specified EPIC Debt Securities without accepting such Specified EPIC Debt Securities for purchase and payment. Following the consummation of the Acquisition, it is anticipated that 100% of the following outstanding indebtedness of EPIC Group (collectively, the "EPIC Redeemable Debt") will be redeemed or prepaid in accordance with the provisions thereof: (i) approximately $74.8 million aggregate principal amount (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $72.3 million as of December 31, 1993) of 11 7/8% Senior ESOP Notes due 1998 (the "EPIC ESOP Notes"), (ii) approximately $96.4 million aggregate principal amount (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $31.9 million as of December 31, 1993) of Zero Coupon Notes due 2001 (the "EPIC Zero Coupon Notes") (with an effective interest rate of 14.8% at December 31, 1993), (iii) approximately $30.9 million aggregate principal amount (representing an aggregate accreted value of approximately $20.0 million as of December 31, 1993) of 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes due 2003 and (iv) approximately $18.7 million principal amount outstanding under EPIC's existing bank credit facility. During the first quarter of EPIC's 1993 fiscal year, a subsidiary of EPIC Group purchased $5.4 million of EPIC ESOP Notes in the open market. The Acquisition, the Tender Offers and the Debt Redemption will be financed through the following: (i) the Offerings by the Company; (ii) the public offering by the Company of $200 million aggregate principal amount of a new series of Subordinated Notes due 2004; (iii) the refinancing of the Company's existing bank credit facility with a new bank credit facility described below, which will provide for aggregate commitments of up to $1.2 billion; and (iv) cash on hand. 12 15 The Company and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent") on behalf of a syndicate of banks to be formed, have executed a commitment letter dated March 15, 1994 (the "Commitment Letter") providing for the Company and such banks to enter into the 1994 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Company will be able to borrow up to an aggregate of $1.2 billion, consisting of (i) a revolving facility in an aggregate amount of $400.0 million (the "Revolving Facility"), with the proceeds thereof being available to pay in part the cash consideration for the Acquisition, the Financing Plan (as hereinafter defined) and the acquisition of certain other health care related facilities and assets (the "Other Transactions"), and financing the Company's ongoing working capital and general corporate needs, (ii) a term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $415.0 million (the "Term Facility"), with the proceeds thereof being available solely to pay in part the cash consideration of the Tender Offers and (iii) a declining delayed term loan facility in an initial aggregate amount of $385.0 million (the "Delayed Term Facility"), with the proceeds thereof being available solely to pay in part the cash consideration for the Debt Redemption and the Other Transactions. Under the 1994 Credit Agreement, and after giving effect to the Acquisition and the Financing Plan, the Company expects to have available an aggregate of approximately $487.0 million of unutilized commitments, assuming 100% of each issue of Specified EPIC Debt Securities is purchased in the Tender Offers. The loans to be provided under the 1994 Credit Agreement (the "1994 Loans") will bear interest at fluctuating rates equal, at the Company's option, to either (a) an alternate base rate (equal to the higher of the Administrative Agent's base rate for dollar loans or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points) plus 50 basis points or (b) the Administrative Agent's reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate plus 150 basis points, and in each case subject to mutually agreed upon increases and reductions. The 1994 Loans will be secured by pledges of the shares of capital stock of, and will be guaranteed by, virtually all of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Company will be required to deliver pledges of capital stock and guarantees of certain EPIC entities within a specified period of time after the initial borrowings. If the Debt Redemption is not consummated, such pledges and guarantees will result in a default under certain outstanding EPIC indebtedness. The 1994 Loans provided pursuant to the Term Facility will be subject to semiannual repayment requirements commencing on the six month anniversary of the initial borrowings and the 1994 Loans provided pursuant to the Delayed Term Facility will be subject to semiannual repayment requirements commencing on the two year anniversary of the initial borrowings. The 1994 Loans must be repaid in full not later than the seven year anniversary of the initial borrowings. In addition to the scheduled repayments, the Company also will be required, subject to certain exceptions, to repay the 1994 Loans with all or a portion of the cash proceeds from sales of assets, subsidiary stock, or accounts receivable or the cash proceeds from any refinancing of the 1994 Credit Agreement. The Commitment Letter provides that the 1994 Credit Agreement will contain a number of customary covenants, including those restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the creation or existence of liens, the declaration or payment of dividends, certain other investments, the acquisition of debt and equity securities of the Company, certain corporate transactions such as sales of substantial assets, mergers or consolidations or other transactions outside of the ordinary course of business. The Company will also be required to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Commitment Letter are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the execution and delivery of the 1994 Credit Agreement and related documentation; (ii) the Company's receipt of gross cash proceeds from the Subordinated Debt Offering of not less than $200.0 million; (iii) the Company's receipt of gross cash proceeds from the Offerings of not less than $140.0 million; (iv) the sum of (w) the gross cash proceeds received from the Subordinated Debt Offering, (x) the gross cash proceeds received from the Offerings, (y) cash on hand and (z) the amounts available under the 1994 Credit Agreement being sufficient to consummate the Acquisition, the Tender Offers, the Debt Redemption and the Other Transactions; (v) the consummation of the Tender Offers and (vi) the absence of any event of default having occurred as a result of the Acquisition, the Tender Offer, the Debt Redemption or the Other Transactions under any of the indentures governing the Specified EPIC Debt Securities or the EPIC Redeemable Debt. If, for any reason, the conditions to the Administrative Agent's obligations under the Commitment Letter cannot be satisfied, the Company anticipates that its existing credit facility will be amended or that a new credit agreement will be entered into in order to permit the Company to proceed with the Acquisition. 13 16 The Tender Offers, the Debt Redemption, the Offerings, the Subordinated Debt Offering and the 1994 Credit Facility are hereinafter referred to as the "Financing Plan." The Offerings are expected to occur substantially contemporaneously with the Acquisition, the Subordinated Debt Offering, the Debt Redemption and the 1994 Credit Agreement and are conditioned upon the consummation of the Acquisition. It is anticipated that the Tender Offers will remain open until approximately five business days after the consummation of the Acquisition. The following table sets forth the sources of funds to be used to effect the Acquisition, the Tender Offers and the Debt Redemption, assuming (i) 5,200,000 shares of Common Stock are sold by the Company in the Offerings at a public offering price of $30.50 per share (the average of the high and low prices for the Common Stock reported on the NYSE for March 31, 1994), (ii) $200 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes are sold by the Company in the Subordinated Debt Offering at a public offering price of 100% of principal amount, (iii) approximately 35,746,000 shares of EPIC common stock (and securities exercisable therefor) are acquired pursuant to the Acquisition; and (iv) 100% of each issue of the outstanding Specified EPIC Debt Securities is purchased in the Tender Offers.

(2) Includes underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to the Company, bank fees and legal and accounting expenses. USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock in the Offerings are estimated to be approximately $ million (approximately $ million if the Underwriters' over-allotment options are exercised in full), after giving effect to the receipt of an aggregate of approximately $ from the exercise of warrants by the Selling Stockholders. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from its sale of Common Stock in the Offerings, together with the net proceeds of the Subordinated Debt Offering, borrowings under the 1994 Credit Agreement and cash on hand, to effect the Acquisition, the Tender Offers and the Debt Redemption. The EPIC 10 7/8% Notes, which are subject to repurchase pursuant to the Tender Offers, were issued by EPIC Group in June 1993 to refinance certain outstanding long-term indebtedness. See "The Acquisition and the Financing Plan." 14 17 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the capitalization (i) of the Company as of February 28, 1994 and (ii) of the Company as of November 30, 1993, of EPIC as of December 31, 1993 and combined as adjusted to reflect the Acquisition, the Offerings, the Subordinated Debt Offering and the other transactions contemplated by the Financing Plan.

(3) Excludes (i) 7,812,849 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company's stock plans and upon exercise of options granted under the Company's stock option plans; and (ii) 3,409,219 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Warrants. Also excludes approximately 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued and contributed by the Company to the Plan on or about May 15, 1994. (4) As of January 8, 1994. Excludes 6,227,165 shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of certain options, stock appreciation rights and warrants. (5) Excludes 3,409,219 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, of which 1,015,312 shares will be sold in the Offerings by the Selling Stockholders. (6) Additional paid-in capital with respect to the Company equals the total amount of (i) the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock, (ii) the net proceeds of the sales of Common Stock to the ESOP, (iii) the estimated value of shares of Common Stock awarded under the Company's stock plans, (iv) the estimated aggregate fair market value of Warrants that were issued to HCA and certain other investors in connection with the Formation and the financing thereof and (v) the estimated aggregate fair market value of the Company's preferred stock surrendered by HCA upon exercise of Warrants to receive Common Stock, minus (vi) dividends paid and accrued and accretion of discount on preferred stock. In connection with the Formation, the Company issued Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 36,874,551 shares of Common Stock (33,460,240 shares for HCA and 3,414,311 shares of certain other investors). The Company initially recorded its Warrants at an aggregate fair value of $117.0 million, or $3.18 per Warrant, as determined by an independent investment banking firm subsequent to the Formation. HCA recorded the fair value of its investment in the Warrants at $37.0 million or $1.11 per Warrant, based upon a valuation range determined by another investment banking firm. These respective values were based upon a number of assumptions and projections as to financial results, including estimates by the investment banking firms of the discounted present value of a share of Common Stock at September 17, 1987 ($3.38 in the case of the Warrant value recorded by the Company and a range of $.66 to $1.59 in the case of the Warrant value recorded by HCA). Each such estimate was based upon, among other things, certain different assumptions in the valuation of the Warrants as to the investment objectives of a purchaser of such Warrants (and, accordingly, an annual yield assumption for discounting to the date of the Formation the estimated value of a share of Common Stock at a future date) and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrants. After further review, the Company decreased the amount recorded for Warrants to $52.0 million, or $1.41 per Warrant. In addition, EPIC has received determinations of the fair value of the EPIC common stock from independent financial advisors that valued such stock at prices lower than the amount paid therefor by the EPIC ESOP in connection with the EPIC Formation. 15 18 SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following tables set forth selected historical financial information for (i) the Company for each of the years in the five-year period ended August 31, 1993 and for the six months ended February 28, 1994 and 1993; and (ii) EPIC for each of the years in the five-year period ended September 30, 1993 and for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992. The selected financial information for the Company and EPIC for each of the years in the five-year periods ended August 31, 1993 and September 30, 1993, respectively, are derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company and EPIC, each of which have been audited by Ernst & Young, independent auditors. The selected financial information for the Company for the six months ended February 28, 1994 and 1993 and for EPIC for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, are derived from unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and EPIC and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such information.

(22) Operated by a limited partnership of which approximately 22.125% of the interest is held by non-EPIC limited partners. (23) The hospital consists of two facilities, one of which is leased from a third party. The Company is engaged from time to time in discussions relating to proposed sales of certain of its hospitals and of minority interests in, or joint ventures with medical staff physicians or others with respect to, certain other facilities. However, except as noted in the table above, as of November 1, 1993, no definitive arrangements with respect to any sales or joint ventures had been agreed upon by the Company. The Company also owns (i) a 50% interest in a general partnership with Orlando Regional Medical Center, Inc., which partnership owns South Seminole Community Hospital (126 beds) in Longwood, Florida; (ii) a 50% interest in a general partnership with Presbyterian Hospital of Charlotte, which partnership owns Orthopaedic Hospital of Charlotte (166 beds) in Charlotte, North Carolina; and (iii) a 25% interest in a general partnership with AMI, which partnership owns Encino Hospital (188 beds) in Encino, California and Tarzana Medical Center (177 beds) in Tarzana, California. The Company has also formed a joint venture with Austin Diagnostic Clinic, P.A. for the purpose of constructing and operating an integrated healthcare facility in Austin, Texas. This facility, currently under construction, will consist of a 180-bed hospital, a diagnostic and treatment center and a medical office building. Following completion of construction the Company will manage the hospital. In addition, the Company, through its subsidiaries or joint venture arrangements, owns, leases or manages approximately 120 medical office buildings with physicians' office 24 27 space and various parcels of undeveloped land, substantially all of which are adjacent to its hospitals. The Company also occupies approximately 65,000 square feet of corporate office space in Nashville, Tennessee. Twenty-four of the 34 EPIC hospitals are owned by EPIC Properties, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPIC, and are subject to mortgages (the "Mortgages") granted in connection with the issuance of the EPIC Mortgage Notes. EPIC Properties leases these 24 hospitals to Master Leasing, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPIC. With respect to these 24 hospitals, EPIC has agreed to indemnify EPIC Properties, the trustee under the indenture governing the EPIC Mortgage Notes (the "Mortgage Notes Trustee"), all holders of the EPIC Mortgage Notes and each of their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, successors and assigns from liabilities relating to the presence of hazardous wastes, any medical or infectious wastes, or substances in the soil or ground water of any real property on which such hospitals are located in concentrations that the applicable federal or state environmental agency would require remedial action to correct (the "Environmental Indemnity"). Pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity, EPIC is obligated to remediate or to cause to be remediated any spill, leak, disposal, discharge or release of certain materials on or beneath any property occurring during the period that the EPIC Mortgage Notes remain outstanding. EPIC Properties has collaterally assigned the Environmental Indemnity to the Mortgage Notes Trustee. 25 28 PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK HEALTHTRUST The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "HTI."

EPIC There is no established trading market for the common stock of EPIC Holdings. The EPIC Holdings common stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. As of December 14, 1993, there were 43 holders of record of the EPIC Holdings common stock. In addition, there is no established trading market for the common stock of EPIC Group, and as of December 14, 1993, EPIC Holdings was the only holder of record thereof. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain earnings for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and reduction of outstanding indebtedness. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the declaration and payment of dividends on the Common Stock are prohibited by the terms of the Company's existing bank credit facility and restricted by the indentures governing certain of the Company's other long term indebtedness (including the indenture pursuant to which the indebtedness to be issued in the Subordinated Debt Offering will be issued), and the Company anticipates that similar prohibitions will be included in the 1994 Credit Agreement. Each share of EPIC Holdings common stock and EPIC Group common stock has an equal and ratable right to receive dividends to be paid from EPIC's assets legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of EPIC Holdings or EPIC Group, as the case may be. No dividends have been paid on the EPIC Holdings common stock. Cash dividends of $1,022,000 were paid on the EPIC Group common stock in September 1993. The declaration and payment of dividends on the EPIC Holdings common stock and EPIC Group common stock are restricted by the terms of the instruments governing certain of EPIC's outstanding long-term indebtedness. It is anticipated that if the Acquisition and the Financing Plan (including the Tender Offers or the related consent solicitation) are consummated, such restrictions will be eliminated. 26 29 EPIC MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion has been taken from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1993 of EPIC Holdings and EPIC Group. Such discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of EPIC Holdings and EPIC Group appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC.

- --------------- (1) Percentages are expressed as percentages of net operating revenue. (2) This item represents earnings before depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit, ESOP expense, non-cash SAR expense, minority interests, gain on sale of assets and extraordinary item. It is not intended to represent cash flow or any other measure of performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBDAIT is included herein because EPIC management believes that certain investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring the ability to service debt. (3) Represents actual admissions as adjusted to include outpatient services by adding to actual admissions an amount derived by dividing outpatient revenue by inpatient revenue per admission. EPIC Group believes that this statistic is frequently used as a benchmark to analyze the volume of total services provided to patients and has become more meaningful than occupancy rates and patient days as a result of industry trends toward increased use of outpatient services. (4) Percentages are expressed as percentage of total admissions. (5) Represents actual patient days as adjusted to include outpatient services by adding to actual patient days an amount derived by dividing outpatient revenue by inpatient revenue per patient day. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NET OPERATING REVENUE EPIC Group recorded net operating revenue of $1,019.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1993. Net operating revenue increased $77.9 million (8%) in 1993 and $138.6 million (17%) in 1992. Acute inpatient net revenue, which totalled $469.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1993, decreased $19.9 million (4%) in 1993, and increased $34.7 million (8%) in 1992. Approximately 50% of the decrease in 1993 was due to the sale of two hospitals during the second quarter of fiscal 1993. This decrease was offset by additional Medicare and Medicaid payments during 1993. The increase during 1992 was due to additional Medicare and Medicaid payments and price increases of up to 10% in selected markets and services. Acute inpatient admissions, which totalled 89,247 in 1993, decreased 7% in 1993 and 1% in 1992, and acute patient days, which totalled 408,216 in 1993, decreased 8% in 1993 and 3% in 1992, as the direction of healthcare services shifted toward outpatient services, inpatient specialty units, and home health services. Outpatient net revenue, which totalled $317.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1993, increased $35.1 million (12%) in 1993 and $47.4 million (20%) in 1992. The number of outpatient surgeries, which totalled 69,153 in 1993, increased 3% in 1993 and 6% in 1992, respectively, and selected price increases were implemented in 1992. Other outpatient visits, which totalled 1,002,547 in 1993, increased 9% in 1993 and 16% in 1992. Inpatient specialty unit net revenue, which totalled $111.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1993, and for which EPIC Group generally receives payment on a cost reimbursement basis, increased $.7 million (1%) in 1993 and $12.6 million (13%) in 1992. Specialty unit admissions increased 13% in 1993 and 15% in 1992. The number of specialty care units, which include skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and geriatric psychiatric units, were 56, 57 and 52 at September 30, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Net revenue from home health visits, which totalled $85.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1993, increased $47.9 million (127%) in 1993 and $24.8 million (191%) in 1992. Home health visits increased 118% in 1993 and 148% in 1992. Approximately 34% and 19% of the increases in home health visits in 1993 and 1992, respectively, resulted from the purchase of existing home health businesses in EPIC Group's current markets. 28 31 Other revenue which totaled $36.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1993, increased $14.3 million (66%) in 1993 and $9.5 million (78%) in 1992. Of this revenue, total geriatric psychiatric, rehabilitation and home healthcare management contract fees increased $9.7 million and $4.4 million during 1993 and 1992, respectively. Net patient revenue attributable to patients covered under the Medicare, Medicaid and other government programs as a percentage of total net patient revenue was 55%, 51% and 46% for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Net revenue attributable to patients covered under various contracted discount programs totaled 18%, 18% and 20% of total net revenue for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The increase in net revenue was due, in part, to increased admissions of Medicare and Medicaid patients, including the continued increase in utilization of specialty care units and home health services for which EPIC is paid on a cost reimbursement basis, and the increase in rates paid by governmental entities under Medicare and Medicaid programs. COSTS AND EXPENSES Costs and expenses, as a percentage of net operating revenue decreased 2% in 1993 and 1% in 1992. Salaries and wages increased 1% as a percentage of net operating revenue in 1993 compared to 1992 due to the increase in home health net revenue, which is more labor intensive than inpatient care. Salaries and wages remained constant as a percentage of net operating revenue in 1992 compared to 1991. EPIC ESOP expense remained constant as a percentage of net operating revenue in 1993 compared to 1992 and decreased 1% as a percentage of net operating revenue in 1992 compared to 1991 due to increased contributions in 1991 to the EPIC ESOP. Other expenses decreased 2% as a percentage of net operating revenue in 1993 compared to 1992 and increased 2% as a percentage of net operating revenue in 1992 compared to 1991 due primarily to $2.9 million in expenditures to upgrade various computer software applications during 1992 not incurred in 1993, and a $6.6 million increase during 1992 in costs relating to programs to recruit new physicians. There were no significant fluctuations in employee benefits, supplies, uncompensated care and professional liability insurance as a percentage of net operating revenue from 1991 to 1993. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.9 million in 1993 compared to 1992 and $3.6 million in 1992 compared to 1991. The increases resulted from property and equipment additions, net of asset sales and retirements. Fiscal 1993 and 1992 also include depreciation on $9.8 million of property and equipment relating to Colonial Hospital, which was purchased October 1, 1991. INTEREST EXPENSE AND INTEREST INCOME AND GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS Interest expense decreased $.1 million in 1993 compared to 1992 and increased $2.7 million in 1992 compared to 1991. The 1993 change was due to an increase in the amount of debt outstanding beginning in the third quarter offset by a decrease in interest rates. The 1992 increase was due to accretion of non-cash interest on certain notes and termination of an interest rate cap agreement in 1992. Interest income did not fluctuate significantly over the three-year period. During the second quarter of fiscal 1993, EPIC Group sold Valley Medical Center ("Valley") in El Cajon, California, which resulted in a gain on sale of $4.6 million. Other dispositions during fiscal 1993, including Westpark Community Hospital in Hammond, Louisiana ("Westpark"), resulted in losses on sale of $1.1 million. LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX BENEFIT, MINORITY INTERESTS AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEM EPIC Group incurred a loss before income tax benefit, minority interests, and extraordinary item of $.6 million, $22.3 million and $24.5 million for the years ended September 30, 1993, 1992, and 1991, 29 32 respectively. The following non-cash charges are included in the loss before income tax benefit, minority interests and extraordinary item:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1993, EPIC Group had working capital of $30.0 million (current assets of $210.1 million less current liabilities of $180.1 million), which included approximately $107.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. EPIC's existing bank credit facility requires $42.7 million in cash and marketable securities be restricted for the redemption of the remaining outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes. EPIC Group has available $30 million in loan commitments under the bank credit facility. EPIC Properties has a revolving line of credit of the lesser of $22.0 million or the annual interest accrual on the EPIC Mortgage Notes for the purpose of paying the EPIC Mortgage Notes interest and principal. Because AMI assumes all liability for professional liability incidents occurring prior to October 1, 1988 at EPIC Group's facilities acquired from AMI, EPIC Group continues to experience lower cash payments for its professional liability losses than has historically been the case for these hospitals. That fact, coupled with the relatively long lag time for settlement of professional liability claims, has led EPIC Group to expect that professional liability payments for which EPIC Group is self-insured, will be comparable to or less than the related expense in the next several years. On June 18, 1993, EPIC Group implemented a refinancing plan designated to improve its operating and financial flexibility by reducing its future interest expense (the "Refinancing"). The Refinancing included the following components: (i) the issuance and sale in a public offering of approximately $160 million aggregate principal amount of 10 7/8% Notes; (ii) redemption of $74.7 million of EPIC Group's 15% Senior Subordinated Notes; and (iii) the redemption of $53.7 million principal amount of EPIC Group's 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-in-Kind Notes with $20 million of the proceeds from the offering and $10 million of working capital. EPIC Group was required to call $40.3 million of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes on February 1, 1994, with the remaining proceeds as required by EPIC Group's existing bank credit facility. As a result of the refinancing, EPIC Group incurred an extraordinary loss before tax of $21.4 million from the write-off of loan issue costs and unamortized discount on the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the redeemed 11% Pay-in-Kind Notes, payments to the holders of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 11 7/8% Senior ESOP Notes for waivers of certain provisions of the respective indentures and the accrual of the call premium to be paid on redemption of $40.3 million of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes. Cash provided by operating activities totalled $119.2 million and $57.9 million for the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increase in operating cash in fiscal 1993 was due to a decrease in the loss before income tax benefit (expense), minority interests and extraordinary item of $21.7 million in fiscal 1993. Also, accounts receivable increased $35.2 million in fiscal 1992, which was attributable primarily to an increase of $41.8 million in net operating revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992. Cash used in investing activities totalled $123.5 million and $61.0 million for the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. EPIC Group added other property and equipment totalling $60.8 million and $47.9 million during fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively. EPIC Group's investments in marketable securities increased $36.7 million during fiscal 1993 and decreased $5.2 million during fiscal 1992. 30 33 The County of Galveston, Texas, entered into an agreement with EPIC providing for the lease for 20 years of Mainland Center Hospital ("Mainland"), the County's 310-bed facility, and the purchase of certain of the hospital's net current assets and equipment. The lease payments, which were paid in full upon execution of the lease, and purchase price of the net assets and equipment acquired totaled $46 million, a portion of which was offset by the cash included in Mainland's current assets (approximately $5 million). The lease also provides EPIC with two additional ten year options to extend the lease and the right to purchase the facility on the first anniversary of the lease for approximately $.5 million. During fiscal 1993, EPIC purchased two imaging centers for $7.8 million and two home health agencies for $4.0 million. On October 1, 1991, EPIC Group purchased Colonial Hospital, a 49-bed hospital in Terrell, Texas, for $10.4 million. EPIC sold Westpark in January 1993 for $6.2 million in cash and recorded a net loss on the sale of $.6 million in 1993 and $.8 million in fiscal 1992 in anticipation of the sale. EPIC sold Valley in March 1993 for $17 million in cash and recorded a gain on sale of $4.6 million. EPIC retained ownership of Westpark's and Valley's accounts receivable and other current assets. Cash provided by financing activities totalled $28.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1993 and cash used in financing activities totalled $33.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1992. The Refinancing provided $44.8 million of net proceeds in 1993. A subsidiary of EPIC Group purchased $5.4 million and $19.9 million of the 11 7/8% Senior ESOP Notes on the open market for $5.6 million and $20.3 million plus accrued interest in fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively. During fiscal 1993, EPIC paid $5.5 million in debt issue costs relating to the Refinancing. On August 31, 1993, EPIC purchased Healthtrust's 40% interest in the North Texas Medical Center Joint Venture in McKinney, Texas, which owns and operates North Texas Medical Center, for $15.7 million. EPIC management believes EPIC Group's hospitals are well maintained and equipped and permitted expenditures will be sufficient to meet EPIC Group's ongoing capital requirements at its operating facilities. Capital expenditures totalling approximately $75 million are planned for fiscal 1994, including completion of construction of a new hospital near Covington, Louisiana, which commenced in June 1992, and continuation of construction of a new hospital in Denton, Texas, which commenced in June, 1993. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has audited EPIC's federal income tax return for the year ended September 30, 1989. As a result of the audit, the IRS had proposed the permanent capitalization of approximately $24 million of debt issuance costs. EPIC has fully protested its position with the IRS. EPIC was required to capitalize and amortize certain loan costs which were previously expensed. This adjustment resulted in the reduction of EPIC Holdings' current net operating loss by approximately $7 million. In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which supersedes SFAS No. 96. Implementation of SFAS No. 109 for EPIC Group is required as of October 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires that differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities ("temporary differences") be reflected in the same balance sheet category as the items that caused the temporary differences. Deferred tax assets, which would include tax net operating loss carryforwards, would require the determination of a related valuation allowance, based on the assets' expected realization. EPIC has completed the analysis necessary to determine the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 109 and it is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations and will not impact cash flows. EPIC has reviewed its benefit programs and has determined it offers no post employment benefits that require accrual in accordance with SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." Total scheduled debt maturities are $47.9, $9.5 and $43.5 million in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and expected annual cash interest payments are approximately $58 million through fiscal 1996. See Note 5 of the Notes to EPIC Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding EPIC's indebtedness. In addition to the indebtedness of EPIC, EPIC Holdings, the parent corporation of EPIC, has outstanding $250 million principal amount ($167.2 million value at September 30, 1993) of the EPIC 12% Notes, which require cash interest payments commencing in March 1997. Such interest payments, 31 34 as well as the principal payment upon maturity in 2002, are expected to be funded out of dividends from EPIC Group to EPIC Holdings. Although EPIC Group's indebtedness is substantial, EPIC management believes that cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand, cash flow from operations, and the availability of funds under revolving bank credit facilities will provide sufficient liquidity to meet all cash requirements for the next several years. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES GENERAL Net operating revenue, operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest income of EPIC Holdings were substantially the same as those of EPIC Group for fiscal years 1993, 1992 and 1991 and reference is made to the discussion of EPIC Group's " -- Results of Operations," and " -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" above. Following is additional information relating to EPIC Holdings. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased $10.1 million and $11.5 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the issuance of the EPIC 12% Notes during fiscal 1992. LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX BENEFIT AND MINORITY INTEREST EPIC Holdings incurred losses before income tax benefit, minority interest, and extraordinary item of $19.7 million, $31.1 million and $24.5 million for the years ended September 30, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. The following non-cash charges are included in the loss before income tax benefit and minority interests for the years ended September 30, 1993, 1992 and 1991 (in thousands):
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------ 1993 1992 1991 -------- -------- -------- Depreciation and amortization.............. $ 57,917 $ 53,013 $ 49,354 Non-cash portion of SAR Plan compensation expense.................................. 3,249 10,805 7,137 Non-cash portion of interest expense....... 36,855 27,190 13,975 Non-cash portion of professional liability risks.................................... 2,641 4,131 11,291 ESOP expense............................... 20,715 20,714 23,076 -------- -------- -------- Total............................ $121,377 $115,853 $104,833 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1993 EPIC Holdings had working capital of $35.1 million (current assets of $215.2 million less current liabilities of $180.1 million), which included approximately $112.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. EPIC's existing bank credit facility requires $42.7 million in cash and marketable securities be restricted for the redemption of the remaining outstanding 15% Senior Subordinated Notes. EPIC Group has available $30 million in loan commitments under EPIC's existing bank credit facility. EPIC Properties has a revolving line of credit of the lesser of $22.0 million or the annual interest accrual on the EPIC Mortgage Notes for the purpose of paying the EPIC Mortgage Notes interest and principal. EPIC expects to continue to incur federal income tax loss in the near term primarily as a result of the deductibility of contributions to the EPIC ESOP, higher depreciation for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes, and high interest expense. In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which supersedes SFAS No. 96. Implementation of SFAS No. 109 for EPIC is required on October 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires that differences 32 35 between the tax and financial statement bases of asset and liabilities ("temporary differences") be reflected in the same balance sheet category as the items that caused the temporary differences. Deferred tax assets, which would include tax net operating loss carryforwards, would require the determination of a related valuation allowance, based on the assets' expected realization. EPIC has completed the analysis necessary to determine the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 109 and it is not expected to have a material impact on EPIC Holdings' financial position or results of operations and will not impact cash flows. EPIC has reviewed its benefit programs and has determined that it offers no post employment benefits that require accrual in accordance with SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." See " -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" of EPIC Group for further discussion of matters relating to liquidity and capital resources of EPIC Holdings. Although EPIC Holdings' indebtedness, including EPIC Group's indebtedness, is substantial, EPIC management believes cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand, cash flow from operations, and the availability of funds under revolving bank credit facilities will provide sufficient liquidity to meet all cash requirements for the next several years. EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992 NET OPERATING REVENUE EPIC Group recorded net operating revenue of $272.5 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $28.1 million (12%) compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Acute inpatient net revenue, which totalled $118.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, increased $2.9 million (2%) compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992, due primarily to increased reimbursement recognized from Medicare and Medicaid programs. Acute inpatient admissions remained constant and acute inpatient patient days decreased 4% in the three-month period, respectively, as the direction of healthcare services continues to shift toward outpatient services, inpatient specialty units and home health services. Outpatient net revenue, which totalled $87.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, increased $9.4 million (12%) compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992 as a result of a 9% increase in clinic and other outpatient visits. Inpatient specialty unit net revenue, which totalled $27.8 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, increased $0.8 million (3%) compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Net revenue from home health visits, which totalled $25.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, increased $8.8 million (52%) compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Home health visits increased 46% in the three-month period. Approximately 31% of the increase in home health visits resulted from the purchase of existing home health businesses. Other revenue, which totalled $13.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, increased $6.2 million compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Geriatric psychiatric, rehabilitation and home healthcare management contract fees increased $3.3 million in the three-month period. Net patient revenue attributable to Medicare and Medicaid patients as a percentage of total net revenue was 58% and 53% for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Net patient revenue attributable to patients covered under various managed care programs as a for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 33 36 COSTS AND EXPENSES Costs and expenses decreased 2% as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Salaries and wages increased 2% as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992 due to the increase in home health services, which is more labor intensive than inpatient care. Employee benefits decreased 2% as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992 primarily due to a decrease in the costs of providing medical benefits. EPIC Group made changes to its medical benefit plan effective January 1, 1993 to reduce these costs. These changes included increased utilization review, implementation of a managed care referral program, and increased deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. EPIC ESOP expense remained constant as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Depreciation and amortization decreased 1% as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992 due to the increase in net revenue. Supplies, uncompensated care, other operating expenses, and interest expense remained constant as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX BENEFIT (EXPENSE), MINORITY INTERESTS AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEM EPIC Group incurred a loss before income tax benefit (expense), minority interests and extraordinary item of $1.1 million, for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, compared to a loss of $6.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit (expense), ESOP expense, non-cash SAR expense, minority interests and extraordinary items (EBDAIT) as a percentage of net operating revenue increased from 11.57% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1992 to 12.96% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1993, EPIC Group had working capital of $32.6 million (current assets of $222.8 million less current liabilities of $190.2 million), which included $84.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The revolving credit agreement requires $42.7 million in cash and marketable securities be restricted for the redemption of the remaining 15% Senior Subordinated Notes by February 28, 1994. EPIC Group has available an additional $30 million in loan commitments from a group of banks under a revolving line of credit agreement. EPIC Properties has available a revolving line of credit of the lesser of $22 million or the annual interest accrual on the EPIC Mortgage Notes for the purpose of paying the EPIC Mortgage Notes interest and principal. Cash used in operating activities totalled $1.1 million and cash provided by operating activities totalled $15.0 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Accounts receivable increased $22.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1994 primarily due to an increase in net operating revenue. Cash used in investing activities totalled $11.8 million and $5.9 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1993, and 1992, respectively. EPIC Group made capital additions of approximately $23.4 million and $7.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 1993, and 1992, respectively. EPIC management believes that EPIC Group's hospitals are well maintained and equipped and that planned and permitted expenditures will be sufficient to meet EPIC Group's ongoing capital requirements at its operating facilities. Capital expenditures totalling approximately $52 million are planned for the remainder of fiscal 1994 including completion of construction of 34 37 a new hospital near Covington, Louisiana and continuation of construction of a new hospital in Denton, Texas. On December 31, 1992, EPIC Group purchased an imaging center for $4.1 million. Cash used in financing activities totalled $2.9 million and $7.3 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 1993, a subsidiary of EPIC Group purchased $5.4 million of the 11 7/8% Senior ESOP Notes on the open market for $5.6 million plus accrued interest. Total scheduled debt maturities are $47.9, $9.5 and $43.5 million in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. EPIC is expected to make cash interest payments of approximately $58 million per year through fiscal 1996. See Note 5 of the Notes to EPIC Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 1993, for information regarding EPIC Group's indebtedness. In addition to the indebtedness of EPIC Group, EPIC Holdings, the parent corporation of EPIC Group, has outstanding $250 million principal amount ($172.2 million accreted value at December 31, 1993) of the EPIC Holdings Notes, which require cash interest payments commencing in March 1997. Such interest payments, as well as the principal payment upon maturity in 2002, is expected to be funded out of dividends to EPIC Holdings. Although EPIC's indebtedness is substantial, EPIC management believes that cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand, cash flow from operations, and the availability of funds under revolving bank credit facilities will provide sufficient liquidity to meet all cash requirements for the next several years. EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992 Operations of EPIC Holdings were substantially the same as those of EPIC Group for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 with the exception of interest expense. EPIC Holdings' interest expense remained constant as a percentage of net operating revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. EPIC Holdings incurred a loss before income tax, minority interests and extraordinary item of $6.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, compared to a loss of $10.6 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1992. Earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit (expense), EPIC ESOP expense, noncash SAR expense, minority interests and extraordinary items (EBDAIT) as a percentage of net operating revenue increased from 11.56% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1992 to 12.94% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1993, EPIC Holdings had working capital of $37.6 million (current assets of $227.9 million less current liabilities of $190.3 million), which included $89.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

As of February 1, 1994, there were 81,207,077 shares of Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. The following summary description of the Company's capital stock is qualified by reference to the Company's amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") and By-Laws and the Rights Agreement, dated as of July 8, 1993, between the Company and First Union National Bank of North Carolina, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement"). Capital Stock Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferential rights that may be applicable to any outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and subject to the liquidation preference of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no cumulative voting rights and no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is First Union National Bank of North Carolina. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, attached to each share of Common Stock (including the Common Stock offered hereby) is one preferred stock purchase right (a "Right") that, when exercisable, entitles the holder thereof to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock at a price (the "Exercise Price") of $75, subject to adjustment. The Rights generally become exercisable ten days after the earlier of (i) a public announcement that a person or group beneficially owns 15% or more of any class of the Company's voting stock (a "15% Interest") or (ii) the commencement, or announcement of the intent to commence, a tender offer which would result in any person or group acquiring a 15% Interest (in either case unless approved by the Company's Continuing Directors, as defined in the Rights Agreement). Following the acquisition by a person or group of a 15% Interest, the Rights held by such person or group (and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof) become null and void. Following certain events (including a person or group acquiring a 15% Interest, a merger or a sale of a majority of the Company's assets), exercise of the Rights entitles the holders thereof to receive Common Stock or common stock of the acquiring corporation, or cash, property or other securities, with a market value equal to twice the Exercise Price. The Rights expire on July 8, 2003 and may be redeemed by the Company (with the approval of the Continuing Directors) for $.01 per Right until the tenth day after a person or group acquires a 15% Interest. At any time after a person or group acquires a 15% Interest and until such person or group acquires 50% or more of any class of the Company's voting stock, the Company (with the approval of the Continuing Directors) may exchange each Right for one share of Common Stock. Certificate and By-laws The Certificate and the By-laws provide that (i) the Board of Directors consists of a minimum of five and a maximum of fifteen directors, divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, and such provisions may not be amended without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the Company's outstanding voting stock; (ii) directors may be removed only for cause; and (iii) special meetings may be called only by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to establish and issue one or more series of Preferred Stock and determine the rights, preferences and limitations thereof. The foregoing provisions of the Certificate and By-laws, together with the ability of the Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock and the effects of the Rights described above, could discourage or delay a change of control of the Company and the removal of the Company's management. Recent Developments On February 15, 1994, Mellon Bank corporation ("Mellon") filed with the Commission a report on Schedule 13G stating that Mellon and its subsidiaries, in various fiduciary capacities, beneficially own 5,230,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.4% of the Common Stock outstanding on such date. 38 41 CERTAIN UNITED STATES TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS The following is a general summary of certain United States federal income and estate tax consequences expected to result under current law from the purchase, ownership, sale or other taxable disposition of Common Stock by any person that is (as to the United States) a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership, a nonresident alien individual, or a nonresident alien fiduciary of an estate or trust the income of which is not subject to United States taxation regardless of its source (a "Non-U.S. Holder"). This summary does not address all aspects of United States federal income and estate taxes that may be relevant to Non-U.S. Holders in light of their personal circumstances or to certain types of Non-U.S. Holders that may be subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (for example, insurance companies, tax exempt organizations, financial institutions or broker-dealers). Furthermore, this summary does not discuss any aspects of foreign, state or local taxation. This summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not constitute, and should not be viewed as, legal or tax advice to prospective purchasers. Each prospective purchaser of Common Stock is advised to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Common Stock. DIVIDENDS The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy." Except as described below and subject to the discussion below regarding the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act ("FIRPTA"), dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In determining the applicability of a tax treaty that provides for a lower rate of withholding, dividends paid to an address in a foreign country are presumed under current Treasury regulations to be paid to a resident of that country. Under proposed Treasury regulations, however, a Non-U.S. Holder would be required to file certain forms in order to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate. Any dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States generally will not be subject to the 30% withholding tax (provided that the required forms are filed), but will be taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, such effectively connected income may also be subject to an additional United States "branch profits tax." The Company must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to, and tax withheld from dividends received by, such Non-U.S. Holder. These information reporting requirements apply even if withholding is reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. This information also may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides. SALE OR DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK Except as described below in this paragraph and subject to the discussion below regarding FIRPTA, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax (and no amount generally will be withheld) in respect of any gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of Common Stock. However, capital gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States will be taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates (subject to a 28% maximum tax rate for long-term capital gains of individuals). Capital gains of a Non-U.S. Holder also may be subject to tax if such Holder is subject to the provisions of the United States tax law applicable to certain United States expatriates. Moreover, a Non-U.S. Holder who is a nonresident alien individual and who holds the Common Stock as a capital asset generally will be taxed at a rate of 30% on capital gain if (i) he is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and (ii) either the gain is attributable to a fixed place of business maintained by him in the United States or he has a "tax home" (as defined in the Code) in the United States. An applicable treaty may provide for different rules. 39 42 FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES Common Stock owned or treated as owned by an individual Non-U.S. Holder at the time of death will be included in such Non-U.S. Holder's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable state tax treaty provides otherwise and may be subject to United States federal estate tax. FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN REAL PROPERTY TAX ACT If a Non-U.S. Holder's gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or redemption of Common Stock (including dividend distributions treated as redemptions or partial liquidations under United States federal income tax rules) is subject to FIRPTA, such gain or loss will be treated as effectively connected with a trade or business engaged in by such Non-U.S. Holder within the United States and thus will be subject to United States income tax at the ordinary rates. The FIRPTA provisions would apply to the Common Stock only if the Company has been or becomes a "United States real property holding corporation" within the meaning of the Code ("USRPHC"). It is possible that the Company is or, in the future, will be a USRPHC. However, even if the Company is a USRPHC, if the Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, FIRPTA will apply only to a Non-U.S. Holder that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at any time during the 5-year period ending on the date of disposition (or such shorter period that such Common Stock was held). INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING Backup withholding (which generally is a withholding tax imposed at the rate of 31% on certain payments to persons that fail to furnish the information required under the United States information reporting requirements) and information reporting with respect to backup withholding generally will not apply to dividends paid to Non-U.S. Holders at an address outside of the United States. The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of Common Stock to or through the United States office of a broker will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the payee under penalties of perjury certifies, among other things, its status as a Non-U.S. Holder, or otherwise establishes an exemption. The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of Common Stock to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker will generally, except as noted below, not be subject to backup withholding and information reporting. In the case of the payment of proceeds from the disposition of Common Stock through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a United States person or a "U.S. related person," existing regulations require information reporting on the payment unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a Non-U.S. Holder and the broker has no actual knowledge to the contrary. For this purpose, a "U.S. related person" is (i) a "controlled foreign corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes (generally, a foreign corporation controlled by United States shareholders) or (ii) a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from all sources for a certain period is derived from activities that are effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business. Proposed regulations contain a similar rule with respect to information reporting by a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a United States person or a U.S. related person. However, under the proposed regulations, such a person may only rely on documentary evidence to avoid information reporting if the foreign office "effects" the sale at such foreign office. The existing backup withholding regulations state that payments of sale proceeds made through a foreign office of a broker that is a United States person or a U.S. related person will not be subject to backup withholding until provided otherwise, and proposed regulations state that backup withholding will not apply to such payments (absent actual knowledge that the payee is a United States person) where the foreign office "effects" the sale at such foreign office. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a refund of or a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder's United States federal income tax, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. 40 43 UNDERWRITING Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a U.S. purchase agreement (the "U.S. Purchase Agreement") among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and each of the underwriters named below (the "U.S. Underwriters"), and concurrently with the sale of 1,244,081 shares of Common Stock to the International Underwriters (as defined below), the Company and the Selling Stockholders severally have agreed to sell to the U.S. Underwriters, and each of the U.S. Underwriters severally has agreed to purchase from the Company and the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite its name below.
NUMBER OF U.S. UNDERWRITERS SHARES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ............................................... Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation..................... --------- Total ..................................................... 4,976,323 --------- ---------
Merrill Lynch and DLJ are acting as representatives (the "U.S. Representatives") of the U.S. Underwriters. The Company and the Selling Stockholders also have entered into a purchase agreement (the "International Purchase Agreement") with certain underwriters outside the United States (the "International Underwriters" and, together with the U.S. Underwriters, the "Underwriters"), for whom Merrill Lynch International Limited and DLJ are acting as representatives (the "International Representatives"). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the International Purchase Agreement, and concurrently with the sale of 4,976,323 shares of Common Stock to the U.S. Underwriters pursuant to the U.S. Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to sell to the International Underwriters, and the International Underwriters severally have agreed to purchase from the Company and the Selling Stockholders, an aggregate of 1,244,081 shares of Common Stock. The initial public offering price per share and the total underwriting discount per share are identical under the U.S. Purchase Agreement and the International Purchase Agreement. In the U.S. Purchase Agreement and the International Purchase Agreement, the several U.S. Underwriters and the several International Underwriters, respectively, have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock being sold pursuant to each such Agreement if any of the shares of Common Stock being sold pursuant to each such agreement are purchased. Under certain circumstances, the commitments of non-defaulting U.S. Underwriters or International Underwriters (as the case may be) may be increased. Sales of Common Stock to be purchased by the U.S. Underwriters and the International Underwriters are conditioned upon one another. The U.S. Underwriters and the International Underwriters have entered into an intersyndicate agreement (the "Intersyndicate Agreement") that provides for the coordination of their activities. The Underwriters are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock to each other for purposes of resale at the initial public offering price, less an amount not greater than the selling concession. Under the terms of the Intersyndicate agreement, the U.S. Underwriters and any dealer to whom they sell shares of Common Stock will not offer to sell or sell shares of Common Stock to persons who are non-United States persons or to persons they believe intend to resell to persons who are non-United States persons, and the International Underwriters and any dealer to whom they sell shares of Common stock will not offer to sell or sell shares of Common Stock to 41 44 United States persons or to persons they believe intend to resell to United States persons, except in each case for transactions pursuant to such agreement.

44 47 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and EPIC included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, combined and adjusted to give effect to the Company's Acquisition of EPIC, using the purchase method of accounting, and the related Financing Plan. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of November 30, 1993 gives effect to the Acquisition and Financing Plan as if they had occurred as of November 30, 1993. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 1993 and year ended August 31, 1993, give effect to the Acquisition and Financing Plan as if they had occurred on September 1, 1992. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not purport to represent what the combined financial position or results of operations would actually have been if the transactions had occurred on November 30, 1993 or September 1, 1992 or to project the combined financial position or combined results of operations for any future period. The Company will continue to report its financial information on the basis of an August 31 fiscal year. EPIC reports its financial information using a September 30 fiscal year. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet combines the Company's November 30, 1993 balance sheet and EPIC's December 31, 1993 balance sheet. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations combine the Company's statements of operations for the three months ended November 30, 1993 and fiscal year ended August 31, 1993 with EPIC's statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and fiscal year ended September 30, 1993, respectively. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with "The Acquisition and the Financing Plan," "Capitalization," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company and EPIC included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

See notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. P-2 49 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET 1. To record the net proceeds from the completion of the offering of 5.2 million shares of Healthtrust Common Stock at $30.50 per share, the average of the high and low prices for the Common Stock reported on the NYSE for March 31, 1994. Gross proceeds of $158.6 million, less estimated issuance costs of $6.3 million, provides net proceeds of $152.3 million. 2. To record the net proceeds from the completion of the $200 million Subordinated Debt Offering. Gross proceeds of $200.0 million, less estimated issuance costs of $5.0 million, provides net proceeds of $195.0 million. Maturities of pro forma long-term debt for the 12-month periods ending subsequent to November 30, 1993 are as follows: 1994 -- $42.0 million; 1995 -- $67.4 million; 1996 -- $100.4 million; 1997 -- $118.2 million; 1998 -- $124.2 million; and thereafter -- $1,297.9 million. 3. To record the Debt Redemption. The $157.2 million payment retires $142.6 million recorded value of EPIC indebtedness, the related deferred loan costs of $2.4 million are written off and the net payment excess of $17.0 million is recorded in excess of purchase price over net assets acquired. 4. To record the completion of the Tender Offers for the Specified EPIC Debt Securities (100% tender amount assumed). Assuming 51% of each issue of the Specified EPIC Debt Securities are purchased in the Tender Offers, borrowings under the 1994 Credit Agreement would be reduced by approximately $310 million. The $633.4 million payment retires $529.9 million recorded value of Specified EPIC Debt Securities, the related deferred loan costs of $16.9 million are written off and the net payment excess of $120.4 million is recorded in excess of purchase price over net assets acquired. 5. To record the payment of $7 per share for 35,746,000 shares of EPIC common stock ($250.2 million). 6. To record the payment of $27.6 million in connection with the termination of contributions to the EPIC ESOP pursuant to the ESOP Agreement. 7. To record borrowings under the 1994 Credit Agreement of $713.0 million to complete the Acquisition and Financing Plan transactions ($167.0 million to refinance the existing bank credit facility and $546.0 million of additional borrowings) and maintain a $20 million cash balance. 8. To record EPIC's required call of the outstanding 15% Senior Subordinated Notes of EPIC Group and pay the related call premium and accrued interest payable. 9. To record certain severance agreement liabilities and transaction costs (including estimated legal, accounting and valuation costs). 10. To record EPIC's property, plant and equipment at historical net book value. No estimate of any purchase accounting adjustments to record such property, plant and equipment at fair value has been made at this time. The Company expects to obtain and record a valuation of EPIC's land and buildings within six months following the Acquisition. It is not expected that the reclassification between excess of purchase price over net assets acquired and property, plant and equipment will be significant to the combined balance sheet. 11. To record the deferred tax asset for the temporary differences related to the above transactions (assumes a 39% statutory combined federal and state tax rate). 12. No assumption has been made as to the exercise of all or a portion of the Warrants to purchase 3,409,219 shares of Common Stock. If all Warrants were exercised, net proceeds to the Company would be approximately $18 million.

See notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. P-5 52 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS 1. The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not give effect to any overhead reductions or cost savings, if any, which may be realized after the consummation of the Acquisition. Pension expense for EPIC employees has been assumed to be equivalent to historical EPIC ESOP expense (approximately 5.5% of salaries). 2. To adjust amortization as follows:
THREE MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993 AUGUST 31, 1993 ----------------- --------------- To record amortization related to the $457.5 million increase in the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired................................................ $ 3.2 $12.9 To eliminate the EPIC historical amortization of the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired....... (.6) (2.3) ----- ------ $ 2.6 $10.6 ----- ------ ----- ------
The excess of purchase price over net assets acquired related to the EPIC acquisition will be amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method (for the purpose of the pro forma computations of amortization, $60.0 million of the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired has been amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method to provide an estimated effect for recording the acquired property, plant and equipment at fair value). 3. To adjust interest expense as follows:
THREE MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993 AUGUST 31, 1993 ----------------- --------------- To record interest expense on borrowings of $713.0 million related to the 1994 Credit Agreement (assumes average interest rate of 5.19% and 5.43%, respectively) and includes the amortization of deferred loan costs of $.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.............. $ 9.7 $ 40.7 To record interest expense related to the $200 million Subordinated Notes (assumes a 9.25% interest rate) and includes the amortization of deferred financing costs of $.2 million and $.6 million, respectively............... 4.8 19.1 To eliminate historical interest expense (including the amortization of the related deferred loan costs) on the tendered Specified EPIC Debt Securities, the called EPIC Redeemable Debt and the refinanced Company bank debt.... (23.7) (93.2) ------- ------- $ (9.2) $ (33.4) ------- ------- ------- -------
An increase or decrease of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) in the interest rate assumption used to calculate interest expense on the proceeds of the Subordinated Debt Offering would increase or decrease interest expense and income before income taxes by approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Assuming 51% or 0% of each issue of the Specified EPIC Debt Securities are purchased in the Tender Offers, pro forma interest expense would not increase by any material amount as the nonpurchased securities would be recorded at a current market interest rate using the purchase accounting method. 4. To eliminate the compensation expense related to EPIC'S SAR Plan. 5. To eliminate interest income on excess cash. 6. To record the pro forma provision for income taxes by applying the estimated statutory rates (39.0% and 38.6% for the three months ended November 30, 1993 and year ended August 31, 1993, respectively) to pro forma income before income taxes, adjusted for any nondeductible expenses. 7. To reflect the Company's purchase of EPIC's outstanding equity and completion of the offering of 5.2 million shares of Common Stock by the Company. P-6 53 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC.

See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. F-3 56 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EPIC Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Holdings") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1994. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Holdings' annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1993. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1994 presentation. 2. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On January 9, 1994, Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with HealthTrust, Inc. -- The Hospital Company, a Delaware corporation ("HTI"), and Odyssey Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of HTI ("HTI Sub"), providing for the merger (the "Merger") of HTI Sub with and into Holdings following which Holdings would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTI. The Merger is expected to result in a termination of the EPIC ESOP. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both HTI and Holdings, shareholders of Holdings will receive $7.00 per share of Holdings' common stock. HTI intends to offer to purchase the 12% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2002, the 11.375% Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 2001, the 11.5% Class B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 2001, the Class B-3 First Priority Mortgage Notes, and the 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 and to redeem other outstanding EPIC indebtedness in accordance with their terms. HTI also plans to seek the consent of the holders of Holdings' indebtedness to amend certain restrictive provisions. Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of Holdings' shareholders and the consummation of certain debt consent solicitations. American Medical International, Inc. and the trustee of the EPIC ESOP (who controls the unallocated shares of the EPIC ESOP) have agreed, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, to vote their shares of Holdings common stock (approximately 52% combined) in favor of the Merger. The transaction is expected to close by May of 1994. 3. INCOME TAXES Effective October 1, 1993, Holdings changed its method of accounting for income taxes to the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which superseded SFAS No. 96. As permitted under the rules of SFAS No. 109, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. Adopting SFAS No. 109 had no effect on current period operations. Due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net deferred federal tax liability, Holdings established a valuation allowance against the deferred federal tax assets so that deferred federal tax assets equalled deferred federal tax liabilities. The net deferred tax liability reported relates primarily to state taxes. F-4 57 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) (unaudited) Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of Holdings' deferred tax assets and liabilities as of October 1, 1993 are as follows (in thousands): Deferred tax liabilities ------------------------ Property and equipment basis difference.......................... $42,908 ESOP plan fees................................................... 1,547 ESOP contribution................................................ 3,455 State taxes and other............................................ 5,994 ------- Total deferred tax liabilities................................... 53,904 ------- Deferred tax assets ------------------- Bad debt reserve differences..................................... 6,593 Professional liability reserves.................................. 15,670 SAR compensation................................................. 14,034 Health plan and workers' compensation reserves................... 3,652 Paid time off reserve............................................ 1,788 Net operating losses............................................. 24,312 Other............................................................ 700 ------- Total deferred tax assets........................................ 66,749 Valuation allowance.............................................. (18,839) ------- Net deferred tax assets.......................................... 47,910 ------- Net deferred tax liability....................................... $ 5,994 ------- -------
No tax benefit was recorded for the current net operating loss and no federal taxes are anticipated for fiscal 1994. Current income tax expense of $375,000 relates to state income taxes. 4. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Loss per common share has been computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The exercise of the outstanding common stock warrants and other common stock equivalents has not been assumed as the effect would be antidilutive. 5. CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY During the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, Holdings purchased treasury stock for $119,000 and received a principal payment on the Notes receivable from the EPIC ESOP of $10,833,000 which was recorded as a reduction of the Notes receivable from EPIC ESOP. 6. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES Certain subsidiaries of EPIC (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") guarantee the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Zero Coupon Notes, the Additional Zero Coupon Notes, the Senior ESOP Notes, the 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 11% Junior Subordinated F-5 58 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) Pay-In-Kind Notes. Certain other subsidiaries, including EPIC Properties, Inc. ("EPIC Properties") are not Guarantor Subsidiaries (the "Nonguarantor Subsidiaries"). All equity interests in the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, other than those held by minority interests, are held by EPIC. Condensed consolidating financial information of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. ("EPIC"), the Guarantor Subsidiaries, EPIC Properties and the other Nonguarantor Subsidiaries are included in the footnotes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EPIC included elsewhere herein. F-6 59 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors EPIC Holdings, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EPIC Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of EPIC Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries at September 30, 1993, and 1992, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See notes to consolidated financial statements. F-11 64 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. ("EPIC" or, either alone or together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was acquired by EPIC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") on March 25, 1992, in a merger transaction (the "Merger") in which each outstanding share of common stock of EPIC was converted into one share of Holdings common stock. The merger was between companies under common control (i.e., a pooling of interests for accounting purposes) and accordingly, the recorded assets and liabilities of EPIC on an historical basis are combined with the assets and liabilities of Holdings. Holdings had no operations prior to the merger. Results of operations for the period prior to March 25, 1992, consist of the operations of EPIC. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Minority interests represent the minority stockholders' proportionate shares of the equity in the income (loss) of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Cash Equivalents, Cash Restricted for Interest Payments, and Marketable Securities Holdings considers all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash restricted for interest payments is cash deposited into a trust to pay principal and interest required by the Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 First Priority Mortgage Notes (the "Mortgage Notes"). Investments in marketable interest-bearing securities are stated at cost which approximates market. Holdings has $42,694,000 in cash and marketable securities restricted for the purpose of redeeming the remaining 15% Senior Subordinated Notes (See Note 5). Cash equivalents, cash restricted for interest payments, and marketable securities are subject to potential concentrations of credit risk. Holdings attempts to lessen that risk by investing only in United States Government securities, commercial paper having at least a rating of A-1 or the equivalent, time deposits and certificates of deposit of banks having a debt rating of at least A, or money market funds comprised of such securities. Holdings invests in securities with maturities no longer than 180 days and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. Accounts Receivable Concentration of credit risk relating to accounts receivable is limited to some extent by the diversity and number of patients and payors and the geographic dispersion of Holdings' hospitals. Accounts receivable (gross) consists of amounts due from government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid) (53%) commercial insurance companies (16%), private pay patients (18%) and other (including health maintenance organizations and other group insurance programs) (13%). Holdings' hospitals are located throughout the southern United States, with the largest concentration in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and California. Holdings maintains an allowance for losses (i.e., uncompensated care or bad debt expense) based on the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Supply Inventories Supply inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. F-12 65 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost (or fair value at the date of acquisition as a result of the original purchase from American Medical International, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("AMI")). Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives or term of the lease generally ranging from 25 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 10 years for equipment. Maintenance costs and repairs are expensed as incurred. Joint Ventures EPIC, in the ordinary course of business, enters into joint ventures with physicians and other companies. EPIC is the majority owner and general partner of substantially all of the joint ventures and follows the principles of consolidation for all majority-owned joint ventures. Minority shareholders' investments and earnings in the joint ventures are recorded as minority interests and minority interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries, respectively. Any interest held by the Company in non-majority owned partnerships with at least 20% ownership is accounted for using the equity method. Any interest held by the Company in partnerships with less than 20% ownership is accounted for using the cost method. On February 1, 1990, EPIC entered into a joint venture with Healthtrust, Inc. -- The Hospital Company ("Healthtrust") for the purpose of operating certain hospital assets in McKinney, Texas. EPIC contributed, at net book value, a 168 bed facility to the venture and is the managing co-general partner with a 60% equity interest in the venture. Healthtrust contributed a 99 bed facility to the venture and was the co-general partner with a 40% interest in the venture. The assets contributed by Healthtrust to the joint venture, including property and equipment of $15,328,000, were recorded at fair market value which approximated net book value. Goodwill of $2,470,000 is being amortized over 40 years. On August 31, 1993, EPIC purchased Healthtrust's interest in the joint venture for $15,656,000 which approximated Healthtrust's interest in the net assets of the joint venture and was recorded as a reduction to minority interests. Intangible Assets The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net asset acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from nine to 40 years. Accumulated amortization was $9,244,000 and $6,920,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Costs incurred in obtaining long term financing are deferred and are included in other assets. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt, and such amortization is included in interest expense. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $16,993,000 and $14,401,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. EPIC has purchased licenses to use various software applications. These costs are included in other assets and have been amortized over two or five year periods. Accumulated amortization of the software costs was $5,750,000 and $4,750,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Income Taxes Holdings files a consolidated federal income tax return which includes all of its eligible subsidiaries. Holdings accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability method specified by SFAS No. 96, deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the difference between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities (collectively, the "temporary differences," see Note 6) by tax rates (determined in accordance with enacted tax laws) that are expected to be effective when such temporary differences reverse. Holdings' deferred tax liabilities originated from the accounting for the F-13 66 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) acquisition from AMI (the "Acquisitions"), and reflect the estimated tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which supersedes SFAS No. 96. Implementation of SFAS No. 109 for Holdings was required October 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires that temporary differences be reflected in the same balance sheet category as the assets and liabilities that caused the temporary differences. Deferred tax assets, which would include tax net operating loss carryforwards, would require the determination of a related valuation allowance, based on the assets' expected realization. The Company has completed the analysis necessary to determine the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 109 and it is not expected to have a material impact on Holdings' financial position or results of operations and will not impact cash flows. Net Operating Revenue Net operating revenue is recorded based on established billing rates net of allowances and discounts for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other contractual programs. Payments received under these programs, which are based on either the costs of services or predetermined rates, are generally less than the established billing rates of EPIC's hospitals, and the differences are recorded as contractual allowances and/or contracted discounts. Reserves provided have been deducted from accounts receivable pending final audit and appeal settlement. Contractual adjustments, contracted discounts and other discounts amounted to $627,757,000, $576,572,000, and $482,158,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. It is generally EPIC's policy to attempt to collect compensation for all services performed. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1993 presentation. 2. ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURES On August 24, 1993 the Company entered into a 20-year lease agreement with two ten-year renewal options with the County of Galveston, Texas for Mainland Center Hospital, a 310-bed hospital in Texas City, Texas. The lease payments of $27,535,000 were paid in full upon the execution of the lease, which has been accounted for as a capital lease. The Company also purchased certain net current assets and equipment of the hospital, which included $5,639,000 in cash, for $17,965,000 which has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The Company also has a commitment for $20,000,000 in capital improvements over the term of the lease. The Company has a purchase option beginning after the first year of the lease. The option price ranges from $500,000 to $851,000 over the term of the lease. On January 6, 1993, the Company sold Westpark Community Hospital in Hammond, Louisiana for $6,200,000. A loss of $624,000 was recorded as gain (loss) on sale of assets in fiscal 1993. A charge of $800,000 to reflect the anticipated loss on the sale was recorded as gain (loss) on sale of assets in fiscal 1992. The net book value of the assets sold before the fiscal 1992 charge, less liabilities assumed by the buyer, was $7,624,000. On March 15, 1993, the Company sold Valley Medical Center in El Cajon, California for $16,950,000. A gain of $4,632,000 was recorded as gain (loss) on sale of assets in fiscal 1993. The net book value of the assets sold, less liabilities assumed by the buyer, was $12,318,000. On October 1, 1991, the Company purchased Colonial Hospital, a 49-bed hospital in Terrell, Texas for $10,403,000 in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over net assets acquired will be amortized over 40 years. F-14 67 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 3. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP") Employee-owners of EPIC have beneficial ownership of approximately 60% of the Holdings Common Stock through their participation in the EPIC ESOP. At EPIC's inception, the EPIC ESOP purchased 24,500,000 shares of EPIC Common Stock with the proceeds obtained from the issuance of loans aggregating $245 million payable to EPIC. The terms of the original ESOP loan agreement segregated the EPIC ESOP's obligation to EPIC into two components, the terms of the first of which mirrored the terms of the Senior ESOP Bank Debt (the "First ESOP Loan") and the second of which mirrored the terms of the Senior ESOP Notes (see Note 5). Concurrent with the issuance of the Mortgage Notes (see Note 5), the First ESOP Loan was replaced by a loan agreement which provides for mandatory principal payments in amounts that are substantially in conformance with the remaining mandatory principal payments of the Senior ESOP Bank Debt as if the issuance of the Mortgage Notes had not occurred (the "New ESOP Loan"). The interest rate on the New ESOP Loan is determined quarterly based on .85 times the sum of the London InterBank Offered Rates plus 2.5% (5.1% at September 30, 1993). The EPIC ESOP has pledged all of its shares of the Holdings Common Stock as collateral for the ESOP-related borrowings. These shares are released from the pledge as the loans are paid. The EPIC ESOP receives contributions from EPIC to service and extinguish the loans. The EPIC ESOP is an individual account, defined contribution plan. Nonunion employee-owners who work a specified number of hours are eligible to participate in the EPIC ESOP if they have attained age 21 and completed one year of service. No employee-owner contributions are required or permitted to be made to the EPIC ESOP. No rollover contributions are permitted to be made to the EPIC ESOP. Allocations are made to participants' accounts in an amount which reflects each participant's proportionate share of the contributions made by EPIC to the EPIC ESOP, as determined on the basis of each participant's compensation. Contributions made to the EPIC ESOP and the value of shares of common stock allocated to the account of a participant as a result of such contributions are intended to be treated as tax-deferred contributions. Such contributions, and earnings thereon, generally are includable in a participant's compensation for federal income tax purposes when distributed. As of the plan year ended December 31, 1992, cumulative allocations of 10,650,517 shares of Holdings Common Stock at a market value of $8.00 per share based on an independent valuation, or $85,204,136 in total have been made to 10,183 participants. Shares of Holdings Common Stock relating to the plan year ending December 31, 1993 will be allocated during fiscal 1994. Subject to limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Holdings is entitled to claim an income tax deduction for contributions to the EPIC ESOP. Holdings has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the EPIC ESOP is qualified as an "employee stock ownership plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. Contributions to the EPIC ESOP are used by the EPIC ESOP to pay interest and principal on the loans owed to EPIC. These payments are used by EPIC to pay interest and principal on the Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes and the Senior ESOP Notes. EPIC recorded net ESOP expense, using the cash method, and corresponding reductions in the EPIC ESOP notes receivable, of $20,715,000, $20,714,000, and $23,076,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Interest income recognized on the EPIC ESOP notes receivable totaled $14,984,000, $16,885,000, and $20,483,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, which in turn was contributed to the EPIC ESOP to pay interest expense incurred on the ESOP-related debt. Interest expense incurred on ESOP-related debt totaled $20,856,000, $21,734,000, and $21,731,000, which included discount amortization of $559,000, $551,000, and $511,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

The 12% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes are reflected at their fair value of $140,053,000 at March 25, 1992, plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. Interest is payable semi-annually beginning March 16, 1997. The Mortgage Notes are the indebtedness of EPIC Properties, Inc. ("EPIC Properties"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EPIC. The Mortgage Notes are secured by mortgages on 24 acute care hospital complexes ("the Mortgaged Hospitals") and the land on which such buildings are located, and by a first priority security interest in certain furnishings and equipment located at each of the Mortgaged Hospitals. The Mortgage Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by EPIC (see Note 18). The interest rate on the Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes (the "Class B-1 Notes") will increase to 11.5% after September 30, 1995. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that interest on the Class B-1 Notes does not qualify for a 50% exclusion from federal taxable income, the interest rate on the Class B-1 Notes will increase to 11.5% for all periods through September 30, 1995 during which such interest exclusion is not available. EPIC incurred losses on refinancing concurrent with the issuance of the Mortgage Notes, due primarily to the write-off of loan issue costs. These losses, totalling $3,911,000, are recorded as an extraordinary item (net of income tax benefit of $1,330,000) in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1991. F-17 70 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Zero Coupon Notes are reflected at their fair value of $14,008,000, as estimated by EPIC at September 30, 1988, plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. Additional Zero Coupon Notes were issued under an interest rate cap agreement with AMI (see Note 13) and are reflected at their original fair value plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. A subsidiary of EPIC purchased $5,400,000 and $19,850,000 face value of the 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes on the open market for $5,616,000 and $20,293,000 plus accrued interest in fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively (the "Senior ESOP Note Purchases"). Losses of $570,000 and $1,917,000 due to the write-off of debt issue costs and unamortized discounts and the payment of a premium on the Senior ESOP Note Purchase are recorded as extraordinary items (net of income tax benefit of $652,000 in 1992) in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992. The 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes, which carry detached stock purchase warrants (see Note 9), have a stated principal amount of $100,000,000 and are reflected at their fair value of $93,988,000, as estimated by EPIC at September 30, 1988, less the Senior ESOP Note Purchases, plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. On June 18, 1993, EPIC refinanced $74,680,000 in principal of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and $53,697,000 in principal of the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes (the "Refinancing") through the issuance of the 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes. The 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of EPIC (see Note 18). Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 1988, and amended and restated as of July 30, 1991, and September 1, 1993 (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), EPIC is required to call the remaining $40,320,000 in principal of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes by February 28, 1994, with the remaining proceeds of the Refinancing. The remaining principal of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes at September 30, 1993, has been recorded as current maturities of long term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. EPIC incurred a loss before taxes of $21,390,000 on the Refinancing, which resulted from the write-off of loan issue costs and unamortized discount on the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the redeemed portion of the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes, payments to the holders of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes for waivers of certain provisions of the respective indentures and the accrual of the call premium to be paid on redeeming the remaining principal on the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes. These losses are recorded as an extraordinary item in the consolidated statements of operations. The 15% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of EPIC (see Note 18) and are secured by a fourth pledge of the common stock of such subsidiaries. Interest on the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-in-Kind Notes is payable semiannually by the issuance of additional 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-in-Kind Notes through September 30, 1995, and thereafter, if Holdings is prohibited from making cash interest payments by the terms of any senior debt existing on September 30, 1988 less the amount retired in the Refinancing. The notes, which have a stated principal amount of $50,000,000, have been recorded at their fair value estimated by EPIC at September 30, 1988, of $22,900,000 plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993, less the amount retired as a result of the Refinancing. The effective interest rate for these notes is 18.07%. The Amended Credit Agreement provides EPIC with revolving loan commitments and an acquisition loan to be used for working capital and acquisition funds for EPIC. As of September 30, 1993, revolving loan commitments aggregated $30 million. Any revolving loan commitments outstanding are due July 31, 1997. F-18 71 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Interest is generally payable monthly at the following rates per annum, at EPIC's option: (i) 1.5% in excess of the higher of the prime rate in effect from time to time or the annual yield on ninety-day commercial paper or (ii) 2.5% in excess of the LIBOR rate. There were no revolving loans outstanding as of September 30, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The acquisition term loan principal amount outstanding is payable in quarterly installments commencing on October 31, 1993 through July 31, 1997. Interest is generally payable quarterly at the following rates per annum, at EPIC's option: (i) 2.0% in excess of the higher of the prime rate in effect from time to time or the annual yield on ninety-day commercial paper or (ii) 3.0% in excess of the LIBOR rate. In connection with the issuance of the Mortgage Notes, EPIC Properties obtained a revolving line of credit. The line of credit can only be used for the purpose of paying interest or principal on the Mortgage Notes. The maximum loan amount available is the lesser of $22 million or the annual interest accrual of the Mortgage Notes. The line of credit would bear an interest rate of the Prime Lending Rate of AmSouth Bank plus 2%. There were no loans outstanding under the line of credit as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The Amended Credit Agreement and other long-term debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurrence of debt, sales of assets, payment of cash dividends, requirements to maintain certain financial ratios and a specified level of net worth, as defined, and other limitations, including limitations on the use of funds from the sale of certain assets.

6. INCOME TAXES The income tax benefit for fiscal 1992 and 1991 was comprised of deferred federal benefits of $11,800,000 and $9,996,000 respectively, arising from reported financial losses and state income tax expense of $1,984,000 and $888,000 in fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, Holdings has utilized all of its deferred federal tax liability and has not recognized a benefit for the current net operating loss pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 96. Taxes paid during 1993 and 1992 primarily relate to state income taxes and estimated federal tax payments. F-19 72 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC.

The utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon future taxable income. Net operating loss carryforwards of $47,123,000 are available for financial reporting purposes. 7. DEFERRED COMPENSATION Holdings has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "SAR Plan") as part of its overall executive compensation program to attract, motivate and retain key employee-owners. As of September 30, 1993, 5,873,582 SAR Plan units, each exchangeable for one share of Holdings Common Stock or redeemable for cash or other property under certain circumstances, were held by certain key employee-owners and former employee-owners. During fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, 309,500, 1,481,065 and 1,002,000 SAR Plan units were granted and 427,800, 218,000, and 243,000 SAR Plan units were cancelled, respectively. The outstanding SAR Plan units vest in varying amounts at varying periods not exceeding five years beginning on each respective grant date. A maximum of 6,587,565 SAR Plan units, reduced by all units redeemed may be F-20 73 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) outstanding at any time. During fiscal 1993, 1992, and 1991, Holdings accrued SAR Plan compensation expense of $3,848,000, $11,805,000, and $8,135,000, respectively. During fiscal 1993, 123,417 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $974,994 in cash ($7.90 per unit) and 3,125 units were redeemed for $25,000 in cash ($8.00 per unit); in October 1993, 121,874 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $974,996 in cash ($8.00 per unit). During fiscal 1992, 129,998 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $974,985 in cash ($7.50 per unit) and 3,164 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $24,996 in cash ($7.90 per unit). 8. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK Pursuant to the Merger, the EPIC Class A and Class B Preferred Stock was converted to Holdings Preferred Stock and the EPIC Class C Preferred Stock was converted to Holdings Common Stock. The EPIC Class A and Class B Preferred Stock, which had a book value of $66,360,000 and $66,776,000, respectively, was repurchased from AMI for $130,000,000. The EPIC Class C Preferred Stock, which had a book value of $63,935,000 was converted into 9,423,075 shares of Holdings Common Stock. At September 30, 1988, redeemable preferred stock of EPIC was recorded at fair value estimated by EPIC, based on an independent valuation. The recorded amounts were less than the mandatory redemption amounts for the EPIC Class A and Class B Preferred Stock and were increased by the recording of dividends at the stated rate and by accretion of the discount, and reduced by the discount recorded on declared and accrued dividends, so that the carrying amounts would equal the mandatory redemption amounts at the mandatory redemption dates. Dividends on the EPIC Class A and Class B Preferred Stock were cumulative and payable quarterly at annual rates of $10.00 and $10.50 per share, respectively, out of funds legally available. EPIC declared and paid such dividends in like stock three quarters in arrears, however, such dividends were accrued quarterly. For the dividend periods after September 30, 1988, to conversion, dividends were paid in additional shares of the same class of stock at the rate of 0.025 and 0.02625, respectively, of a share of stock. During fiscal 1992, EPIC declared dividends of 26,144 shares of EPIC Class A Preferred Stock and 28,182 shares of EPIC Class B Preferred Stock. Holders of shares of EPIC Class C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive cumulative dividends out of funds legally available at the annual rate of $8.00 per share. No dividends were declared on the EPIC Class C Preferred Stock; however, EPIC had recorded accruals of $1,935,000 during fiscal year 1992 and $4,000,000 during fiscal year 1991 for undeclared dividends. 9. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS AND OPTIONS The Senior ESOP Notes and 15% Senior Subordinated Notes carried detachable stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,884,615 and 3,795,000 shares of EPIC Common Stock for $.01 and $.001 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The aggregate fair values of these warrants estimated by EPIC, based on an independent valuation, at date of issuance were $6,012,000 and $12,103,000, respectively. In addition, EPIC agreed to issue to AMI certain warrants to purchase 925,129 shares of EPIC Common Stock at an exercise price of $.001 per share. Immediately prior to the Merger, 6,306,395 of the warrants outstanding were exercised for 63,064 shares of EPIC Common Stock. In conjunction with the Merger, all of the remaining warrants outstanding became warrants to acquire the same number of shares of Holdings Common Stock. During fiscal 1992, after the Merger, 152,692 of the warrants outstanding were exercised for Holdings Common Stock. During fiscal 1993, 3,300 of the warrants outstanding were exercised. Warrants to purchase 142,357 shares of Holdings Common Stock were outstanding at September 30, 1993. F-21 74 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On December 14, 1988, EPIC adopted the EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). Under the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to grant options to EPIC directors, officers and salaried employee-owners to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock. Options granted vest in five equal annual installments. No options were granted during fiscal 1993, 1992 or 1991. At September 30, 1993, options for 32,000 shares were exercisable. 10. COMMON STOCK Prior to the Merger, warrants were exercised for 63,064 shares of EPIC Common Stock and 1,452 shares were repurchased by EPIC from participants of the EPIC ESOP. Pursuant to the Merger, 30,739,378 shares of EPIC Common Stock were converted to Holdings Common Stock and the EPIC Class C Preferred Stock was converted to 9,423,075 shares of Holdings Common Stock. Since the Merger, warrants have been exercised for 155,992 shares of Holdings Common Stock. Additionally, 219,004 shares have been distributed to participants of the EPIC ESOP, which were repurchased by Holdings. Holdings has reserved 142,357 shares of Holdings Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase Holdings Common Stock and 5,902,116 shares have been reserved for future issuance under the SAR Plan. 11. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Loss per common share has been computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The exercise of the outstanding common stock warrants and other common stock equivalents has not been assumed as the effect would be antidilutive. Assuming conversion of the EPIC redeemable preferred stock as of October 1, 1991, the net loss per common share of Holdings would have been $32,645,000 as a result of the elimination of the redeemable preferred stock dividend of $11,048,000 and additional interest expense of $8,806,000 on the Holdings Notes (from the period from October 1, 1991, to March 24, 1992). The weighted average number of common shares outstanding would have been 40,183,036 shares. As a result, the net loss per common share in fiscal 1992 would have been $0.84. 12. PROFESSIONAL AND GENERAL LIABILITY RISKS Holdings is self-insured for its professional and general liability risks. As of September 30, 1993, the unfunded reserve for this self insurance was $45,130,000 of which $11,000,000 was included in current liabilities. EPIC has funded $12,482,000 of the reserves through a wholly-owned captive insurance company at September 30, 1993. The reserves for losses and related expenses are discounted to their present value based on expected loss reporting patterns determined by independent actuaries using a rate of 9%. AMI has retained the liability for all professional liability claims with a date of occurrence prior to October 1, 1988. 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS EPIC and AMI entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the "Senior Interest Cap Agreement") whereby AMI agreed to pay to EPIC the amounts by which EPIC's interest costs under certain tranches of indebtedness exceeded, during each of the three fiscal years after September 30, 1988, certain specified rates, net of the effect of any reimbursement to EPIC by Medicare, Medicaid, or Blue Cross for any interest expense incurred by EPIC in excess of such rates in connection with such loans. On August 28, 1991, EPIC and AMI agreed that it was mutually in their best interest to terminate the Senior Interest Cap Agreement prior to its scheduled expiration of October 1, 1991. EPIC and AMI further agreed that each party had fully performed all of its obligations under the Senior Interest Cap Agreement and each party released the other from future obligations thereunder. F-22 75 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Interest Cap Agreement, EPIC issued Additional Zero Coupon Notes to AMI in the principal amounts of $1,612,000 and $2,844,000 during fiscal 1990 and 1989, respectively, in exchange for cash of a like amount paid to EPIC by AMI during such years. In fiscal 1991, EPIC paid to AMI $2,864,000 and issued Additional Zero Coupon Notes to AMI with a present value of $626,000 in exchange for the cancellation of the zero coupon notes issued in 1989. AMI has sold their interest in the Additional Zero Coupon Notes. Net interest expense of $839,000 was recognized during fiscal 1991 relating to this agreement. EPIC and AMI have entered into certain other agreements, including a registration rights agreement pursuant to which EPIC has agreed to register the securities issued to AMI under the Securities Act of 1933. AMI has also agreed to indemnify EPIC against certain liabilities associated with the breach of representations and warrants made by AMI, certain tax liabilities that may arise, certain reimbursements still pending related to the Acquisitions and certain fees, costs, and expenses. During fiscal 1993, AMI reimbursed $1,621,000 relating to AMI's indemnifications of EPIC for certain intermediary adjustments to reimburse costs relating to cost report years that preceded the formation of EPIC. EPIC entered into a three year group purchasing agreement, effective September 1, 1993, with a subsidiary of AMI, which allows the Company to purchase supplies at lower group rates. The Company expects to purchase more than $30,000,000 per year of supplies under terms of the agreement. The Company will pay $180,000 per year to participate in this program. David R. Belle-Isle, a former officer of EPIC, borrowed $181,000 from EPIC in December 1988 in connection with his relocation to Texas. The loan was interest free until it was restructured in October 1990. Effective as of the 30th day of September 1991, this debt, totalling $160,000, was forgiven. The Company reimbursed Mr. Belle-Isle for the tax liability associated with the forgiveness of the loan. EPIC has a consulting agreement with The Elder Group, of which Thomas H. Elder, who formerly served as EPIC's Management Services Officer, is the Managing Principal. EPIC paid The Elder Group approximately $1,300,000 and $1,000,000 in fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively. EPIC has an investment in the preferred stock of the Compucare Company ("Compucare"), who is developing and installing one of EPIC's new information systems. The chief executive officer of EPIC is on the board of directors of Compucare. Payments to Compucare for fiscal 1993 totalled $5,651,000. 14. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in any cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excluded certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Holdings. The following methods and assumptions were used by Holdings in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. Cash Equivalents, Cash Restricted for Interest Payments, and Marketable Securities The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, cash restricted for interest payments, and marketable interest bearing securities approximates their fair values. F-23 76 EPIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Long-Term Debt (Including Current Maturities) The fair values of Holdings' long-term debt, except the Class B-1 and Class B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes, are estimated using quoted market prices or the call price. The fair value of the Class B-1 and Class B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on Holdings' incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Holdings' financial instruments at September 30, 1993 are as follows (in thousands):
CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE -------- -------- Cash equivalents, cash restricted for interest payments, and marketable securities.......................................... $112,529 $112,529 Long-term debt................................................... $727,519 $772,006
15. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS Extraordinary items of $21,960,000 in 1993, $1,265,000 ($1,917,000, net of income tax benefit of $652,000) in 1992 and $2,581,000 ($3,911,000, net of income tax benefit of $1,330,000) in 1991 were primarily due to the write-offs of loan issue costs and unamortized discounts on retirements of long-term debt (see Note 5). 16. SUPPLEMENTARY INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION Maintenance and repair expense was $17,101,000, $17,564,000, and $16,159,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. 17. CONTINGENCIES Final determination of amounts earned under prospective payment and cost-reimbursement programs is subject to review by appropriate governmental authorities or their agents. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that could result from such reviews. Holdings is currently, and from time to time is expected to be, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on Holding's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisitions, claims relating to litigation, medical benefits, and workers' compensation occurring prior to October 1, 1988, remain the obligation of AMI. 18. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES Certain subsidiaries of EPIC (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") guarantee the loans under the Bank Credit Agreement, AMI Zero Coupon Notes, Additional AMI Zero Coupon Notes, 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes, 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes. Certain other subsidiaries, including EPIC Properties, are not Guarantor Subsidiaries (the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries) (see Note 5). All equity interests in the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, other than those held by minority interests, are held by EPIC. Condensed consolidating financial information of EPIC, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, EPIC Properties and the other Nonguarantor Subsidiaries are included in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of EPIC included elsewhere herein.

See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. F-27 80 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "EPIC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPIC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1994. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1993. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1994 presentation. 2) SUBSEQUENT EVENT On January 9, 1994, Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with HealthTrust, Inc. -- The Hospital Company, a Delaware corporation ("HTI"), and Odyssey Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of HTI ("HTI Sub"), providing for the merger (the "Merger") of HTI Sub with and into Holdings following which Holdings would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTI. The Merger is expected to result in a termination of the EPIC ESOP. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both HTI and Holdings, shareholders of Holdings will receive $7.00 per share of Holdings' common stock. HTI intends to offer to purchase Holdings' 12% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2002, and EPIC's 11.375% Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 2001, 11.5% Class B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes due 2001, Class B-3 First Priority Mortgage Notes, and 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 and to redeem other outstanding EPIC indebtedness in accordance with their terms. HTI also plans to seek the consent of the holders of Holdings' and EPIC's indebtedness to amend certain restrictive provisions. Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of Holdings' shareholders and the consummation of certain debt consent solicitations. American Medical International, Inc. and the trustee of the EPIC ESOP (who controls the unallocated shares of the EPIC ESOP) have agreed, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, to vote their shares of Holdings common stock (approximately 52% combined) in favor of the Merger. The transaction is expected to close by May of 1994. 3) INCOME TAXES Effective October 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes to the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which superseded SFAS No. 96. As permitted under the rules of SFAS No. 109, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. Adoption of SFAS No. 109 had no effect on current period operations. Due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net deferred federal tax liability, the Company established a valuation allowance against the deferred federal tax assets so that deferred federal tax assets equalled deferred federal tax liabilities. The net deferred tax liability reported relates primarily to state taxes. F-28 81 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of October 1, 1993 are as follows (in thousands): DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES ------------------------ Property and equipment basis difference....................... $ 42,908 Loan fees.................................................... 1,547 ESOP contribution............................................ 3,455 State taxes and other........................................ 5,994 -------- Total deferred tax liabilities............................... 53,904 -------- DEFERRED TAX ASSETS ------------------- Bad debt reserve differences.................................. 6,593 Professional liability reserves.............................. 15,670 SAR compensation............................................. 14,034 Health plan and workers' compensation reserve................ 3,652 Paid time off reserve........................................ 1,788 Net operating losses......................................... 24,312 Other........................................................ 700 -------- Total deferred tax assets.................................... 66,749 Valuation allowance.......................................... (18,839) -------- -------- Net deferred tax assets...................................... 47,910 -------- Net deferred tax liability................................... $ 5,994 --------
No tax benefit was recorded for the current net operating loss and no federal taxes are anticipated for fiscal 1994. Current income tax expense of $375,000 relates to state income taxes. 4) CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY During the three-month period ended December 31, 1993, the Company paid dividends of $119,000 to Holdings, which were recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital, and received a principal payment on the Notes receivable from the EPIC ESOP of $10,833,000, which was recorded as a reduction of the Notes receivable from EPIC ESOP. 5) GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES Certain subsidiaries of EPIC (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") guarantee the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Zero Coupon Notes, the Additional Zero Coupon Notes, the 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes, the 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes. Certain other subsidiaries, including EPIC Properties, Inc. ("EPIC Properties") are not Guarantor Subsidiaries (the "Nonguarantor Subsidiaries"). All equity interests in the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, other than those held by minority interests, are held by EPIC. F-29 82 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC.

F-35 88 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The subsidiaries comprising the Guarantor Subsidiaries change from year to year due to new and/or revised agreements relating to the various subsidiaries of the Company. As a result, the investment in subsidiaries is presented on the cost basis. Receivables from (payables to) affiliates include cash transfers between entities on collection of accounts receivable and payment of accounts payable and are included in cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. Cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities for each subsidiary are presented in the consolidating statements of cash flows based on that subsidiary's designation as a guarantor or nonguarantor subsidiary at the end of the period. Deferred income taxes and deferred income tax benefit (expense) were recorded in the accounts of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. and were not allocated to the subsidiaries in fiscal 1993. SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires that the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense for a group that files a consolidated tax return shall be allocated among the members of the group when those members issue separate financial statements on a basis consistent with SFAS No. 109. The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, including allocation of taxes within the consolidating financial statements, effective October 1, 1993. For fiscal 1994, deferred income tax benefit (expense) is allocated to the subsidiaries using the effective tax rate applicable and deferred income taxes for the subsidiaries are included in receivables from (payables to) affiliates. F-36 89 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors EPIC Holdings, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPIC Holdings, Inc.) as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at September 30, 1993, and 1992, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See notes to consolidated financial statements F-41 94 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. ("EPIC" or, either alone or together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was acquired by EPIC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") on March 25, 1992, in a merger transaction (the "Merger") in which each outstanding share of common stock of EPIC was converted into one share of Holdings common stock. Because the Merger was between companies under common ownership, and as EPIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, the recorded assets and liabilities of EPIC have retained their historical cost basis. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EPIC and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Minority interests represent the minority stockholders' proportionate shares of the equity in the income (loss) of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Cash Equivalents, Cash Restricted for Interest Payments, and Marketable Securities The Company considers all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash restricted for interest payments is cash deposited into a trust to pay principal and interest required by the Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 First Priority Mortgage Notes (the "Mortgage Notes"). Investments in marketable interest-bearing securities are stated at cost which approximates market. The Company has $42,694,000 in cash and marketable securities restricted for the purpose of redeeming the remaining 15% Senior Subordinated Notes (See Note 5). Cash equivalents, cash restricted for interest payments, and marketable securities are subject to potential concentrations of credit risk. The Company attempts to lessen that risk by investing only in United States Government securities, commercial paper having at least a rating of A-1 or the equivalent, time deposits and certificates of deposit of banks having a debt rating of at least A, or money market funds comprised of such securities. The Company invests in securities with maturities no longer than 180 days and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. Accounts Receivable Concentration of credit risk relating to accounts receivable is limited to some extent by the diversity and number of patients and payors and the geographic dispersion of the Company's hospitals. Accounts receivable (gross) consists of amounts due from government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid) (53%), commercial insurance companies (16%), private pay patients (18%) and other (including health maintenance organizations and other group insurance programs) (13%). The Company's hospitals are located throughout the southern United States, with the largest concentration in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and California. The Company maintains an allowance for losses (i.e., uncompensated care or bad debt expense) based on the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Supply Inventories Supply inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost (or fair value at the date of acquisition as a result of the original purchase from American Medical International, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("AMI")). Depreciation F-42 95 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives or the term of the lease generally ranging from 25 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 10 years for equipment. Maintenance costs and repairs are expensed as incurred. Joint Ventures The Company, in the ordinary course of business, enters into joint ventures with physicians and other companies. The Company is the majority owner and general partner of substantially all of the joint ventures and follows the principles of consolidation for all majority-owned joint ventures. Minority shareholders' investments and earnings in the joint ventures are recorded as minority interests and minority interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries, respectively. Any interest held by the Company in non-majority owned partnerships with at least 20% ownership is accounted for using the equity method. Any interest held by the Company in partnerships with less than 20% ownership is accounted for using the cost method. On February 1, 1990, the Company entered into a joint venture with Healthtrust, Inc. - The Hospital Company ("Healthtrust") for the purpose of operating certain hospital assets in McKinney, Texas. The Company contributed, at net book value, a 168 bed facility to the venture and was the managing co-general partner with a 60% equity interest in the venture. Healthtrust contributed a 99 bed facility to the venture and was the co-general partner with a 40% interest in the venture. The assets contributed by Healthtrust to the joint venture, including property and equipment of $15,328,000, were recorded at fair market value which approximated net book value. Goodwill of $2,470,000, is being amortized over 40 years. On August 31, 1993, the Company purchased Healthtrust's interest in the joint venture for $15,656,000, which approximated Healthtrust's interest in the net assets of the joint venture and was recorded as a reduction to minority interests. Intangible Assets The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from nine to 40 years. Accumulated amortization was $9,244,000 and $6,920,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Costs incurred in obtaining long term financing are deferred and are included in other assets. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt, and such amortization is included in interest expense. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $16,427,000 and $14,203,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The Company has purchased licenses to use various software applications. These costs are recorded as other assets and have been amortized over two or five year periods. Accumulated amortization of the software costs was $5,750,000 and $4,750,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Holdings. The Company's tax provision is determined as if the Company, along with its subsidiaries, prepared its tax return on a separate return basis. EPIC accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability method specified by SFAS No. 96, deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the difference between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities (collectively, the "temporary differences," see Note 6) by tax rates (determined in accordance with enacted tax laws) that are expected to be effective when such temporary differences reverse. EPIC's deferred tax liabilities originated from the accounting for the F-43 96 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) acquisition from AMI (the "Acquisitions"), and reflect the estimated tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which supersedes SFAS No. 96. Implementation of SFAS No. 109 for the Company was required October 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires that temporary differences be reflected in the same balance sheet category as the assets and liabilities that caused the temporary differences. Deferred tax assets, which would include tax net operating loss carryforwards, would require the determination of a related valuation allowance, based on the assets' expected realization. The Company has completed the analysis necessary to determine the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 109 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations and will not impact cash flows. Net operating revenue Net operating revenue is recorded based on established billing rates net of allowances and discounts for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other contractual programs. Payments received under these programs, which are based on either the costs of services or predetermined rates, are generally less than the established billing rates of the Company's hospitals, and the differences are recorded as contractual allowances and/or contracted discounts. Reserves provided have been deducted from accounts receivable pending final audit and appeal settlement. Contractual adjustments, contracted discounts and other discounts amounted to $627,757,000, $576,572,000, and $482,158,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. It is generally the Company's policy to attempt to collect compensation for all services performed. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1993 presentation. 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES On August 24, 1993, the Company entered into a 20-year lease agreement with two ten year renewal options, with the County of Galveston, Texas for Mainland Center Hospital, a 310-bed hospital in Texas City, Texas. The lease payment of $27,535,000 was paid in full upon the execution of the lease, which has been accounted for as a capital lease. The Company also purchased certain net current assets and equipment of the hospital, which included $5,639,000 in cash, for $17,965,000 which has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The Company also has a commitment to carry out $20,000,000 of capital improvements over the term of the lease. The lease agreement contains a purchase option which becomes effective on August 24, 1994. The option price ranges from $500,000 to $851,000 over the term of the lease. On January 6, 1993, the Company sold Westpark Community Hospital in Hammond, Louisiana for $6,200,000. A charge of $624,000 to reflect the loss on the sale was recorded in fiscal 1993. A charge of $800,000 to reflect the anticipated loss on the sale was recorded in fiscal 1992. The net book value of the assets sold before the fiscal 1992 charge, less liabilities assumed by the buyer, was $7,624,000. On March 15, 1993, the Company sold Valley Medical Center in El Cajon, California for $16,950,000. A gain on the sale of $4,632,000 was recorded in fiscal 1993. The net book value of the assets sold, less liabilities assumed by the buyer, was $12,318,000. On October 1, 1991, the Company purchased Colonial Hospital, a 49-bed hospital in Terrell, Texas for $10,403,000 in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over net assets acquired is being amortized over 40 years. 3. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP") Employee-owners of EPIC have beneficial ownership of approximately 60% of the Holdings Common Stock through their participation in the EPIC ESOP. F-44 97 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) At the Company's inception, the EPIC ESOP purchased 24,500,000 shares of the EPIC Common Stock with the proceeds obtained from the issuance of loans aggregating $245 million payable to the Company. The terms of the original ESOP loan agreement segregated the EPIC ESOP's obligation to the Company into two components, the terms of the first of which mirrored the terms of the Senior ESOP Bank Debt (the "First ESOP Loan") and the second of which mirrored the terms of the Senior ESOP Notes (see Note 5). Concurrent with the issuance of the Mortgage Notes (see Note 5), the First ESOP Loan was replaced by a loan agreement which provides for mandatory principal payments in amounts that are substantially in conformance with the remaining mandatory principal payments of the Senior ESOP Bank Debt as if the issuance of the Mortgage Notes had not occurred (the "New ESOP Loan"). The interest rate on the New ESOP Loan is determined quarterly based on .85 times the sum of the London InterBank Offered Rates plus 2.5% (5.1% at September 30, 1993). The EPIC ESOP has pledged all of its shares of the Holdings Common Stock as collateral for the ESOP-related borrowings. These shares are released from the pledge as the loans are paid. The EPIC ESOP receives contributions from the Company to service and extinguish the loans. The EPIC ESOP is an individual account, defined contribution plan. Nonunion employee-owners who work a specified number of hours are eligible to participate in the EPIC ESOP if they have attained age 21 and completed one year of service. No employee-owner contributions are required or permitted to be made to the EPIC ESOP. No rollover contributions are permitted to be made to the EPIC ESOP. Allocations are made to participants' accounts in an amount which reflects each participant's proportionate share of the contributions made by the Company to the EPIC ESOP, as determined on the basis of each participant's compensation. Contributions made to the EPIC ESOP and the value of shares of common stock allocated to the account of a participant as a result of such contributions are intended to be treated as tax-deferred contributions. Such contributions, and earnings thereon, generally are includable in a participant's compensation for federal income tax purposes when distributed. As of the plan year ended December 31, 1992, cumulative allocations of 10,650,517 shares of Holdings Common Stock at a market value of $8.00 per share based on an independent valuation, or $85,204,136 in total have been made to 10,183 participants. Shares of Holdings Common Stock relating to the plan year ending December 31, 1993 will be allocated during fiscal 1994. Subject to limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Holdings is entitled to claim an income tax deduction for contributions to the EPIC ESOP. The Company has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the EPIC ESOP is qualified as an "employee stock ownership plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. Contributions to the EPIC ESOP are used by the EPIC ESOP to pay interest and principal on the loans owed to the Company. The Company uses payments from the EPIC ESOP to pay interest and principal on the Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes and the Senior ESOP Notes. The Company recorded net ESOP expense, using the cash method, and corresponding reductions in the EPIC ESOP notes receivable, of $20,715,000, $20,714,000, and $23,076,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Interest income recognized on the EPIC ESOP notes receivable totaled $14,984,000, $16,885,000, and $20,483,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, which in turn was contributed to the EPIC ESOP to pay interest expense incurred on the ESOP-related debt. Interest expense incurred on ESOP- related debt totaled $20,856,000, $21,734,000, and $21,731,000 which included discount amortization of $559,000, $551,000, and $511,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. F-45 98 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. OPERATING LEASES The Company leases office space, office equipment and medical equipment. Generally, real estate leases are for primary terms of from one to 12 years with options to renew for additional periods, and equipment leases are for terms of from one to seven years.

The Mortgage Notes are the indebtedness of EPIC Properties, Inc. ("EPIC Properties"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EPIC. The Mortgage Notes are secured by mortgages on 24 acute care hospital complexes (the "Mortgaged Hospitals") and the land on which such buildings are located, and by a first priority security interest in certain furnishings and equipment located at each of the Mortgaged Hospitals. The Mortgage Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by EPIC (see Note 17). The interest rate on the Class B-1 First Priority Mortgage Notes (the "Class B-1 Notes") will increase to 11.5% after September 30, 1995. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that interest on the Class B-1 Notes does not qualify for a 50% exclusion from federal taxable income, the interest rate on the Class B-1 Notes will increase to 11.5% for all periods through September 30, 1995 during which such interest exclusion is not available. F-47 100 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company incurred losses on refinancing concurrent with the issuance of the Mortgage Notes due primarily to the write-off of loan issue costs. These losses, totalling $3,911,000, are recorded as an extraordinary item (net of income tax benefit of $1,330,000) in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1991. The Zero Coupon Notes are reflected at their fair value of $14,008,000, as estimated by the Company at September 30, 1988, plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. Additional Zero Coupon Notes were issued under an interest rate cap agreement with AMI (see Note 12) and are reflected at their original fair value plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. A subsidiary of EPIC purchased $5,400,000 and $19,850,000 face value of the 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes on the open market for $5,616,000 and $20,293,000 plus accrued interest in fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively (the "Senior ESOP Note Purchases"). Losses of $570,000 and $1,917,000 due to the write-off of debt issue costs and unamortized discounts and the payment of a premium on the Senior ESOP Note Purchases are recorded as extraordinary items (net of income tax benefit of $17,000 and $652,000, respectively) in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes, which carry detachable stock purchase warrants (see Note 9), have a stated principal amount of $100,000,000 and are reflected at their fair value of $93,988,000, as estimated by the Company at September 30, 1988, less the Senior ESOP Note Purchases, plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993. On June 18, 1993, the Company refinanced $74,680,000 in principal of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and $53,697,000 in principal of the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes (the "Refinancing") through the issuance of the 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes. The 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (see Note 17). Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 1988, and amended and restated as of July 30, 1991, and September 1, 1993 (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), the Company is required to call the remaining $40,320,000 in principal of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes by February 28, 1994, with the remaining proceeds of the Refinancing. The remaining principal of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes at September 30, 1993, has been recorded as current maturities of long term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred a loss before taxes of $21,390,000 on the Refinancing, which resulted from the write-off of loan issue costs and unamortized discount on the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the redeemed portion of the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes, payments to the holders of the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes for waivers of certain provisions of the respective indentures and the accrual of the call premium to be paid on redeeming the remaining principal on the 15% Senior Subordinated Notes. These losses are recorded as an extraordinary item (net of income tax benefit of $644,000) in the consolidated statements of operations. The 15% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (see Note 17) and are secured by a fourth pledge of the common stock of such subsidiaries. Interest on the 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-in-Kind Notes is payable semi-annually by the issuance of additional 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-in-Kind Notes through September 30, 1995, and thereafter, if the Company is prohibited from making cash interest payments by the terms of any senior debt existing on September 30, 1988, less the amount retired in the Refinancing. The notes, which have a stated principal amount of $50,000,000, have been recorded at their fair value estimated by the Company at September 30, F-48 101 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1988, of $22,900,000 plus accretion of discount through September 30, 1993, less the amount retired as a result of the Refinancing. The effective interest rate for these notes is 18.07%. The Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with revolving loan commitments and an acquisition loan to be used for working capital and acquisition funds for the Company. As of September 30, 1993, revolving loan commitments aggregated $30 million. Any revolving loan commitments outstanding are due July 31, 1997. Interest is generally payable monthly at the following rates per annum, at the Company's option: (i) 1.5% in excess of the higher of the prime rate in effect from time to time or the annual yield on ninety-day commercial paper or (ii) 2.5% in excess of the LIBOR rate. There were no revolving loans outstanding as of September 30, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The acquisition term loan principal amount outstanding is payable in quarterly installments commencing on October 31, 1993 through July 31, 1997. Interest is generally payable quarterly at the following rates per annum, at the Company's option: (i) 2.0% in excess of the higher of the prime rate in effect from time to time or the annual yield on ninety-day commercial paper or (ii) 3.0% in excess of the LIBOR rate. In connection with the issuance of the Mortgage Notes, EPIC Properties obtained a revolving line of credit. The line of credit can only be used for the purpose of paying interest or principal on the Mortgage Notes. The maximum loan amount available is the lesser of $22 million or the annual interest accrual of the Mortgage Notes. The line of credit bears an interest rate of the Prime Lending Rate of AmSouth Bank plus 2%. There were no loans outstanding under the line of credit as of September 30, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The Amended Credit Agreement and other long-term debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurrence of debt, sales of assets, payment of cash dividends, requirements to maintain certain financial ratios and a specified level of net worth, as defined, and other limitations, including limitations on the use of funds from the sale of certain assets. As of September 30, 1993, the maturities of long-term debt were as follows (dollars in thousands): 1994..................................................................... $ 47,914 1995..................................................................... 9,498 1996..................................................................... 43,545 1997..................................................................... 58,546 1998..................................................................... 67,207 1999 and thereafter...................................................... 421,160 --------- 647,870 Unamortized discounts and unaccreted interest............................

6. INCOME TAXES Subsequent to the Merger, the Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with Holdings. The Company's income tax benefit for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991 was comprised of deferred federal benefits of $2,994,000, $8,806,000 and $9,996,000, respectively, arising from reported financial losses and state income tax expense of $1,984,000 and $888,000 in fiscal 1993 and 1992, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, Holdings has utilized substantially all of its deferred federal tax liability and has limited the benefit recognized for the current net operating loss pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 96. Taxes paid during 1993 and 1992 primarily relate to state income taxes and estimated federal tax payments. F-49 102 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company's consolidated effective federal tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate as set forth in the following table:
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 --------------------------- 1993 1992 1991 -------- ------ ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Tax benefit computed at federal statutory rate (34%)...... $ 9,538 $9,553 $10,732 Amortization of excess purchase price over net assets acquired................................................

(143) (133) (135) -------- ------ ------- Deferred income tax benefit............................... $ 2,994 $8,806 $ 9,996 -------- ------ ------- -------- ------ -------
The deferred income tax benefit results from the following temporary differences in reporting for financial and income tax purposes:

7. DEFERRED COMPENSATION The Company has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "SAR Plan") as part of its overall executive compensation program to attract, motivate and retain key employee-owners. As of September 30, 1993, 5,873,582 SAR Plan units, each exchangeable for one share of Holdings Common Stock or redeemable for cash or other property under certain circumstances, were held by certain key employee-owners and former employee-owners. During fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, 309,500, 1,481,065, and 1,002,000 SAR Plan units were granted and 427,800, 218,000, and 243,000 SAR Plan units were cancelled, respectively. The outstanding SAR Plan units vest in varying amounts at varying periods not exceeding five years beginning on each respective grant date. A maximum of 6,587,565 SAR Plan units, reduced by all units redeemed, may be F-50 103 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) outstanding at any time. During fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Company accrued SAR Plan compensation expense of $4,249,000, $11,805,000, and $8,135,000, respectively. During fiscal 1993, 123,417 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $974,994 in cash ($7.90 per unit) and 3,125 units were redeemed for $25,000 in cash ($8.00 per unit); in October 1993, 121,874 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $974,996 in cash ($8.00 per unit). During fiscal 1992, 129,998 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $974,985 in cash ($7.50 per unit) and 3,164 SAR Plan units were redeemed for $24,996 in cash ($7.90 per unit). 8. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS On December 14, 1988, the Company adopted the EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). Under the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to grant options to EPIC directors, officers and salaried employee-owners to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock. Options granted vest in five equal annual installments. No options were granted during fiscal 1993, 1992 or 1991. At September 30, 1993, options for 32,000 shares were exercisable. 9. COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS The Company sold 24,500,000 shares of EPIC Common Stock to the EPIC ESOP on September 30, 1988. Since that time through the Merger, 69,445 shares were distributed to participants in the EPIC ESOP, of which 66,684 shares were repurchased by the Company. In addition, immediately prior to the Merger, 6,306,395 of warrants outstanding were exercised for 63,064 shares of EPIC Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger, each share of EPIC Common Stock was converted to Holdings Common Stock and the Company issued 1,000 shares of EPIC Common Stock to Holdings. 10. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Because EPIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, loss per common share is not meaningful and, therefore, is not presented. 11. PROFESSIONAL AND GENERAL LIABILITY RISKS The Company is self-insured for its professional and general liability risks. As of September 30, 1993, the unfunded reserve for this self insurance was $45,130,000 of which $11,000,000 was included in current liabilities. The Company has funded $12,482,000 of the reserves through a wholly-owned captive insurance company at September 30, 1993. The reserves for losses and related expenses are discounted to their present value based on expected loss reporting patterns determined by independent actuaries using a rate of 9%. AMI has retained the liability for all professional liability claims with a date of occurrence prior to October 1, 1988. 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS EPIC and AMI entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the "Senior Interest Cap Agreement") whereby AMI agreed to pay to EPIC the amounts by which EPIC's interest costs under certain tranches of indebtedness exceeded, during each of the three fiscal years after September 30, 1988, certain specified rates, net of the effect of any reimbursement to EPIC by Medicare, Medicaid, or Blue Cross for any interest expense incurred by EPIC in excess of such rates in connection with such loans. On August 28, 1991, EPIC and AMI agreed that it was mutually in their best interest to terminate the Senior Interest Cap Agreement prior to its scheduled expiration of October 1, 1991. EPIC and AMI further agreed that each party had fully performed all of its obligations under the Senior Interest Cap Agreement and each party released the other from future obligations thereunder. F-51 104 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Interest Cap Agreement, EPIC issued Additional Zero Coupon Notes to AMI in the principal amounts of $1,612,000 and $2,844,000 during fiscal 1990 and 1989, respectively, in exchange for cash of a like amount paid to EPIC by AMI during such years. In fiscal 1991, EPIC paid to AMI $2,864,000 and issued Additional Zero Coupon Notes to AMI with a present value of $626,000 in exchange for the cancellation of the Zero Coupon Notes issued in 1989. AMI has sold their interest in the Additional Zero Coupon Notes. Net interest expense of $839,000 was recognized during fiscal 1991 relating to this agreement. The Company and AMI have entered into certain other agreements, including a registration rights agreement pursuant to which EPIC has agreed to register the securities issued to AMI under the Securities Act of 1933. AMI has also agreed to indemnify the Company against certain liabilities associated with the breach of representations and warrants made by AMI, certain tax liabilities that may arise, certain reimbursements still pending related to the Acquisitions, and certain fees, costs, and expenses. During fiscal 1993, AMI reimbursed $1,621,000 relating to AMI's indemnifications of EPIC for certain intermediary adjustments to reimburse costs relating to cost report years that preceded the formation of EPIC. The Company entered into a three year group purchasing agreement, effective September 1, 1993, with a subsidiary of AMI, which allows the Company to purchase supplies at lower group rates. The Company expects to purchase more than $30,000,000 per year of supplies under the terms of the agreement. The Company will pay $180,000 per year to participate in this program. David R. Belle-Isle, a former officer of EPIC, borrowed $181,000 from EPIC in December 1988 in connection with his relocation to Texas. The loan was interest free until it was restructured in October 1990. Effective as of the 30th day of September 1991, this debt, totalling $160,000, was forgiven. The Company reimbursed Mr. Belle-Isle for the tax liability associated with the forgiveness of the loan. The Company has a consulting agreement with The Elder Group, of which Thomas H. Elder, who formerly served as the Company's Management Services Officer, is the Managing Principal. The Company paid The Elder Group approximately $1,300,000 and $1,000,000 in fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively. The Company has an investment in the preferred stock of the Compucare Company ("Compucare"), who is developing and installing one of the Company's new information systems. The chief executive officer of the Company is on the board of directors of Compucare. Payments to Compucare for fiscal 1993 totalled $5,651,000. 13. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excluded certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. F-52 105 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Cash Equivalents, Cash Restricted for Interest Payments, and Marketable Securities The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, cash restricted for interest payments, and marketable interest bearing securities approximates their fair values. Long-Term Debt (Including Current Maturities) The fair values of the Company's long-term debt, except the Class B-1 and B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes, are estimated using quoted market prices or the call price. The fair values of the Class B-1 and B-2 First Priority Mortgage Notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at September 30, 1993 are as follows (in thousands):
CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE -------- -------- Cash equivalents, cash restricted for interest payments, and marketable securities.......................................... $107,923 $107,923 Long-term debt................................................... 560,322 605,131
14. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS Extraordinary items of $21,299,000 ($21,960,000, net of income tax benefit of $661,000) in 1993, $1,265,000 ($1,917,000, net of income tax benefit of $652,000) in 1992 and $2,581,000 ($3,911,000, net of income tax benefit of $1,330,000) in 1991 were primarily due to the write-offs of loan issue costs and unamortized discounts on retirements of long-term debt (see Note 5). 15. SUPPLEMENTARY INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION Maintenance and repair expense was $17,101,000, $17,564,000, and $16,159,000 for fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. 16. CONTINGENCIES Final determination of amounts earned under prospective payment and cost-reimbursement programs is subject to review by appropriate governmental authorities or their agents. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that could result from such reviews. The Company is currently, and from time to time expects to be, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisitions, claims relating to litigation, medical benefits, and workers' compensation occurring prior to October 1, 1988, remain the obligation of AMI. 17. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES Certain subsidiaries of EPIC (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") guarantee the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, Zero Coupon Notes, Additional Zero Coupon Notes, 11.875% Senior ESOP Notes, 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, 15% Senior Subordinated Notes and 11% Junior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Notes. Certain other subsidiaries, including EPIC Properties, are not Guarantor Subsidiaries (the "Nonguarantor Subsidiaries") (see Note 5). All equity interests in the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, other than those held by minority interests, are held by EPIC.

F-61 114 EPIC HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The subsidiaries comprising the Guarantor Subsidiaries change from year to year due to new and/or revised agreements relating to the various subsidiaries of the Company. As a result, the investment in subsidiaries is presented on the cost basis. Intercompany receivables/payables relate to cash transfers between entities on collection of accounts receivable and payment of accounts payable and are included in cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. Cash flows from operating, financing, and investing activities for each subsidiary are presented in the consolidating statement of cash flows based on that subsidiary's designation as a guarantor or nonguarantor subsidiary at the end of the period. Deferred income taxes and deferred income tax benefit are recorded in the accounts of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc. and are not allocated to the subsidiaries.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or restated for intercompany transactions to conform with the fiscal 1993 presentation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has 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 the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, the 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. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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. II-2 122 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment to its Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Nashville, State of Tennessee, on April 6, 1994.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") of EPIC Healthcare Group, Inc., ("Group"), the Committee (as defined in the ESOP) administering the ESOP, EPIC Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), Group, Healthtrust, Inc. - The Hospital Company ("Parent") and Odyssey Acquisition Corp. ("Sub"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the definitions assigned to them in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 9, 1994, among Parent, Sub and Company (the "Merger Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". RECITALS A. Effective as of September 30, 1988, Group established the ESOP; B. Group and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee, entered into the Trust Agreement dated as of September 30, 1988 (the "Trust Agreement"), establishing the Trust pursuant to which Group makes contributions to the ESOP, to be invested primarily in shares of Company common stock and owned by the Trustee on behalf of ESOP participants; 2 C. The Trustee purchased 24,500,000 shares of Group common stock, par value $.001 per share, from Group pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1988, between Group and the Trustee (the "Subscription Agreement"), which shares were subsequently exchanged for an equal number of shares of Company common stock (such Company common stock is referred to herein as "Company Common Stock"); D. The Trustee financed the purchase of such stock by borrowing an aggregate of $245,000,000 from Group (the "ESOP Loans") pursuant to the terms of certain loan agreements between Group and the Trustee dated September 30, 1988, which were subsequently refinanced (such loan agreements are referred to herein as the "ESOP Loan Agreements"); E. As security for the portion of the ESOP Loans that remains outstanding, the Trustee pledged to Group the shares of Company Common Stock that have not been released from pledge as a result of payments of the ESOP Loans and allocated to the accounts of ESOP participants pursuant to the terms of the ESOP Pledge Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1988, between Group and the Trustee (the "Pledge Agreement"); F. Concurrently with the execution of the ESOP Agreement dated January 9, 1994, Company, Parent and Sub entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; G. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Company has - 2 - 3 agreed to amend the ESOP to convert the ESOP to a profit sharing or stock bonus plan following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder; H. The Trustee has received preliminary confirmation from its financial advisors that the consideration to be received by the ESOP pursuant to this Agreement will result in the receipt of fair market value for Company Common Stock transferred by the ESOP pursuant to this Agreement; I. The parties hereto desire to set forth their understanding and agreement with respect to the ESOP and the actions that each shall take in connection therewith; and J. The parties hereto entered into an agreement dated January 9, 1994 setting forth their understanding and agreement with respect to the foregoing, and have agreed to certain modifications of such agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Stock Transfer; Satisfaction of Indebtedness. As of the Closing Date of the Merger Agreement and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated under Section 2, the Trustee shall release all right, title and interest of the Trustee in the shares of Company Common Stock that have not been released for allocation to the accounts of ESOP participants (the "Unreleased Shares") (after giving effect to any releases required as a result of contributions previously made), free and clear of any Trustee - 3 - 4 claims, liens, pledges, options, charges, security interests, mortgages, deeds of trust, encumbrances or other rights of the Trustee of any nature whatsoever, and Company and Group shall accept the Unreleased Shares from the Trustee in full satisfaction of the ESOP Loans. 2. Certain Covenants and Agreements. (a) ESOP Provisions. (i) The Company and Group shall (A) amend the ESOP and the Trust Agreement effective as of the Closing Date, to convert the ESOP to a profit sharing or stock bonus plan, to preclude participation in the ESOP by persons not employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company as of the Closing Date, to eliminate the requirement of the ESOP that participants be employed on the last day of the plan year to receive an allocation of previously Unreleased Shares for the plan year (commencing as of January 1, 1994), to vest full fiduciary authority in the Trustee with respect to any right of the Trustee or the ESOP under the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and the actions contemplated thereby and hereby and to eliminate any directions or limitations as to the discretion the Trustee may exercise in exercising that authority; (B) amend the ESOP and the Trust Agreement effective as of December 31, 1994, to permanently discontinue contributions to the ESOP; (C) from and after the Closing Date, cause the interest of each ESOP Participant or former ESOP Participant in an amount, if any, credited to his ESOP account (including any amount credited - 4 - 5 or to be credited as a result of the transactions contemplated hereunder) to be nonforfeitable in accordance with Code Section 411 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; and (D) amend the ESOP and the Trust Agreement to permit the ESOP to hold cash and other assets in addition to Company Common Stock. (ii) Contribution or Forgiveness of Indebtedness. Prior to the conversion of the ESOP to a stock bonus or profit sharing plan, Company and/or Group shall contribute cash to the ESOP, or shall forgive ESOP Loans (which forgiveness of indebtedness shall be treated as a contribution to the ESOP), to the extent necessary to repay or forgive, as the case may be, the accrued principal and interest on the ESOP Loans to the Closing Date; an appropriate number of the Unreleased Shares shall be released for allocation to participants as a result of such contribution or forgiveness, and Company and Group shall accept the remaining Unreleased Shares in accordance with Section 1 hereof. (iii) Interim Amount Determination. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall compute, or cause to be computed, subject to review by the Trustee, an aggregate dollar amount (the "Interim Amount") equal to 4% of the "compensation" (as defined in Parent's 401(k) Plan) of persons who are, immediately prior to the Closing Date, ESOP participants and employed by Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the "ESOP Participants") earned for each month or portion thereof included in the period beginning March 1, 1994, and ending on the Closing Date. For purposes of determining the - 5 - 6 Interim Amount described in the immediately preceding sentence, a portion of a month shall be taken into account and result in an increase in such contribution or forgiveness of indebtedness if the Merger Date occurs on or after the fifteenth day of such month. (iv) Additional Contributions. On the Closing Date, or within one business day thereafter, Company, Group or Parent shall contribute cash to the ESOP in an amount which shall equal (a) plus (b) minus (c) where (a) is $123,000,000, (b) is the Interim Amount and (c) is the product of $7.00 times the shares held by the ESOP which have been released for allocation to the accounts of ESOP Participants in current or prior plan years (after giving effect to any releases required as a result of contributions previously made under this Agreement). The contribution shall not be applied to repay the ESOP Loans. (b) Plan Provisions Post-Closing. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) the Trust and the Trust Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, as amended pursuant to Section 2(a) hereinabove, until such time as all distributions have been made in accordance with the terms of the ESOP as amended pursuant to Section 2 (a) hereinabove; (ii) the Plan Year and limitation year in effect as of the Closing Date shall continue without modification, and (iii) the ESOP Participants who continue to be employed by Parent or the Company shall be entitled to participate in Parent's 401(k) plan or a similar plan to be established by Parent. Such plan shall provide - 6 - 7 (A) a profit sharing contribution (the "Profit Sharing Contribution") on behalf of the ESOP Participants of 4% of the "compensation" of the ESOP Participants (as defined in such plan of Parent for participants generally) for the period beginning on the day following the Closing Date and ending December 31, 1994, and (B) a matching contribution (the "Matching Contribution") by Parent of 100% of each ESOP Participant's deferrals under such plan, not in excess of 3% of "compensation" (as defined in such plan of Parent for participants generally) made with respect to the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending December 31, 1998. Deferrals of compensation by ESOP Participants in such plan shall be limited to 3% of compensation for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 1994. In addition, it is the present intention of Parent to provide the Profit Sharing Contribution described in clause (A) above to ESOP Participants during the plan years beginning in the calendar years ending December 31, 1995, through December 31, 1998; provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Parent is under no obligation to the Trustee or ESOP Participants under this Agreement to provide any such Profit Sharing Contribution for years after 1994. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the contributions of Parent referred to in this Section 2(b) are conditioned upon qualification of Parent's plan under Code Section 401(a), and shall be returned to Parent if the Internal Revenue Service does not issue a determination letter reasonably acceptable to Parent with - 7 - 8 respect to such plan. Parent shall act in good faith and use its best efforts to secure such determination letter, including the adoption of changes reasonably requested by the Internal Revenue Service. (c) Limits on Contributions. (i) No contribution made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall exceed the amount reasonably determined in good faith by Parent to be (i) deductible pursuant to Code Section 404 for the applicable ESOP plan year or years and (ii) the amount permissibly allocable, for purposes of Code Section 415, during the applicable limitation year or years of the ESOP. To the extent that the contribution obligations set forth in clauses (2)(a)(ii) or (iv) or 2(b) cannot be met due to operation of Code Section 404 or 415, as determined in good faith by Parent, in a subsequent plan year or plan years Parent shall make or shall cause Sub to make contributions to a plan established pursuant to clause (2)(b)(iii) hereinabove in an amount equal to the contribution that cannot be made in an earlier plan year, plus earnings at a rate equal to the greater of (i) 300 basis points in excess of the 3 month United States Treasury Bill Rate, adjusted and compounded quarterly, or (ii) the percentage change in the fair market value of the assets of the ESOP (or, if the ESOP is merged into another plan, the plan into which the ESOP is merged, or, in the event the ESOP is terminated, the qualified plan or plans in which the employees of the Company are eligible to participate) over the "measuring - 8 - 9 period" described below (determined by including changes in value attributable to realized and unrealized income, gains and losses) for the period from the Closing Date to the date of contribution (the "measuring period"); provided, however, that the contribution to be made for any given plan year shall not exceed the amount reasonably determined in good faith by Parent, (i) to be deductible for such plan year pursuant to Code Section 404 and (ii) to be permissibly allocable for purposes of Code Section 415, during the limitation year applicable to such plan year. For purposes of this provision, the "3 month United States Treasury Bill Rate" shall be the rate published in the Wall Street Journal for thirteen week short-term U.S. government bills as of the last day of each calendar quarter. In making this determination, Parent shall apply the approach used in the scenario attached to that certain letter (the "March 9 Letter"), dated March 9, 1994, from Dewey Ballantine to Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P. (the "Scenario") such that, for example, should the Closing Date be May 15, 1994, the contributions shall be made pursuant to the methodologies employed in the March 9 Letter, unless Parent and Trustee (and, with respect to any contribution made prior to the Closing Date, the Committee) shall agree upon an alternate approach, which approach shall result in contributions being made more rapidly than pursuant to the Scenario. (ii) Code Section 415 Priorities. In calculating the Code Section 415(c) limitation for the applicable ESOP limitation year or applicable to the ESOP plan year beginning January 1, 1994 - 9 - 10 and the limitation years applicable to the plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, of the plan established by Parent and described in Section 2(b) hereinabove in which ESOP Participants will participate after the Closing Date, contributions (and forgiveness of indebtedness treated as contributions) described in this Section 2 shall be charged against such limitation in the following order: (A) First, 401(k) deferrals and the Matching Contribution described in Section 2(b) hereof; (B) Second, the contribution or forgiveness of indebtedness described in Section 2(a)(ii) hereof; (C) Third, the additional contribution described in Section 2(a)(iv) hereof other than the Interim Amount; (D) Fourth, the Interim Amount described in Section 2(a)(iii) hereof; and (E) Fifth, the Profit Sharing Contribution described in Section 2(b)(iii) hereof. (d) Contribution and Allocation Restructuring. The parties expect that the obligations of Parent to make and allocate contributions to plans pursuant to this Agreement may be fulfilled without loss of qualification of the ESOP or of any plan established or continued by Parent for the benefit of employees of Parent and/or its subsidiaries. If, in the opinion of counsel to Parent, the qualification of any such plan could be jeopardized by Parent's contributions and/or allocations in compliance with this - 10 - 11 Agreement, the Trustee shall in good faith enter into an agreement with Parent to accept the consideration contemplated by this Agreement in another form or manner, as the Trustee shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, is permitted under ERISA and as mutually agreed to by Parent and the Trustee. No such agreement shall result in any reduction of the then net present value of the contribution and allocation obligations of Parent under this Agreement. If counsel to the Trustee does not concur with counsel to Parent that the qualification of any such plan could be jeopardized by Parent's contributions and/or allocations in compliance with this Agreement, Parent and the Trustee shall select nationally recognized counsel, experienced in ERISA and the Code, especially with respect to ESOPs, mutually agreeable to them to review the issue and make an independent determination whether the qualification of the ESOP or any Parent plan could be jeopardized. If deemed necessary by the independent counsel, a financial adviser mutually agreeable to Parent and the Trustee shall be selected. Parent shall pay all reasonable fees and costs of the Trustee, the Trustee's counsel and financial advisor, the independent counsel and the independent counsel's financial advisor. The determination of the Interim Amount described in Section 2(a)(iii) and the application of the limitations of Code Sections 404 and 415 to be determined by Parent pursuant to Section 2(c) shall be provided by Parent to the Trustee and the - 11 - 12 ESOP Committee for the purposes of allowing either or both to provide comment with respect thereto. (e) Form of Contributions. Any contribution to be made by Company, Group or Parent pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement may be made, at Parent's election, in cash or in stock of Parent that is publicly traded, freely transferable (not subject to a securities or trading limitation) and equal in fair market value to the amount of the contribution obligation. (f) Termination of Agreements. Effective as of the Closing Date, each of the Subscription Agreement, the ESOP Loan Agreements and the Pledge Agreement is terminated and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect, and the Trustee, Company, Group, and the ESOP Committees shall take all steps necessary to comply with this covenant. (g) Indemnification. For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) Parent and Sub shall indemnify U.S. Trust Company of California, N.A., as the Trustee and its financial advisors, Duff & Phelps Financial Consulting Company ("Duff & Phelps"), to the extent Group or Company would have been so required under the Trust Agreement and/or under any engagement letters with the Trustee and Duff & Phelps to which Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries is a signatory, without regard to termination of the ESOP or removal of U.S. Trust Company of California, N.A., as the Trustee. Such indemnification shall be made only to the extent that such - 12 - 13 indemnification would be required had Company survived the Merger as an independent entity and the indemnification obligation had also survived the Merger, and only in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and/or such engagement letters. 3. Conditions to Closing. The respective obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by Sections 1 and 2 shall be conditioned upon (i) the prior or simultaneous consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Trustee having been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Trustee to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Trustee being necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 4. Delivery of Documents at the Closing. (a) Documents Delivered by the Trustee. At the Closing, the Trustee shall deliver to Company the following documents: (i) A written waiver of all right, title and interest of the Trustee in the Unreleased Shares, in accordance with Section 1 hereinabove; and (ii) a certificate of the Trustee setting forth the resolutions of the Trustee authorizing and approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and certifying that such resolutions were duly adopted and remain in full force and effect, not having been altered, amended or repealed. - 13 - 14 (b) Documents Delivered by Company and Group. At the Closing, Company or Group shall deliver to the Trustee the following documents: (i) the cancelled promissory notes evidencing the ESOP Loans; (ii) a certificate of the Secretaries of Company and Group setting forth the resolutions of the board of directors of each, respectively, authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and certifying that such resolutions were duly adopted and remain in full force and effect, not having been altered, amended or repealed; (iii) duly executed amendments to the ESOP and the Trust Agreement, as required hereinabove; and (iv) the opinion of Johnson & Gibbs, P.C., counsel to Company, to the effect that none of (i) the discharge of the portion of the principal amount of the ESOP Loans that exceeds the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock transferred by the ESOP Trustee to Company pursuant to Section I, or (ii), the transfer by the ESOP Trustee to Company of the Unreleased Shares of Company Common Stock under the ESOP in satisfaction of the ESOP Loans, each as contemplated by this Agreement, will result in a violation of the requirements of the prohibited transaction exemption of Section 4975(d)(3) of the Code and Section 408(b)(3) of ERISA, - 14 - 15 as expressed in Treas. Reg. sec.54.4975-7(b)(4), (5) and (6), and DOL Reg. sec.2550.408b-3(d), (a) and (f), assuming in each case that the fiduciaries undertaking such transactions are complying with the applicable fiduciary responsibility requirements of ERISA and that the ESOP has received no less than adequate consideration. (c) Documents Delivered by Parent. At the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of the Secretary of Parent setting forth the resolutions of Parent authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and certifying that such resolutions were duly adopted and remain in full force and effect, not having been altered, amended or repealed. (d) Opinion of Trustee's Counsel. The Trustee agrees that prior to the Closing Date it will obtain from its counsel, Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P., an opinion that Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P. concurs in the opinion of Johnson & Gibbs, P.C., provided pursuant to the provisions of section 4(b)(iv) hereinabove. A copy of such opinion shall be provided to the Company prior to Closing Date; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that the opinion rendered by Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P., may only be relied upon by the Trustee and may not be relied upon by any other party to this Agreement. 5. Voting Agreement. At such time as Company conducts any meeting of or otherwise seeks a vote of its stockholders for the - 15 - 16 purpose of approving the Merger, the Trustee shall vote the Unreleased Shares and shares of Company Common Stock allocated to the accounts of ESOP Participants with respect to which no voting instructions are received from the applicable ESOP participants, in favor of the Merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, unless the Trustee, in its sole discretion, reasonably determines in good faith that such vote would violate the applicable requirements of ERISA; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5 shall obligate the Trustee to vote (or preclude the Trustee from voting) in favor of the Compensation Payments (as defined in the Company's proxy statement dated March 17, 1994). 6.
