NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2005
(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation:
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. and the notes thereto presented in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements, and do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods. The financial statements include all the accounts of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “PMG”) together with the accounts of PMG’s affiliated professional associations, corporations and partnerships (the “affiliated professional contractors”). PMG has contractual management arrangements with its affiliated professional contractors which are separate legal entities that provide physician services in certain states and Puerto Rico. The terms “Pediatrix” and the “Company” refer collectively to Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc., its subsidiaries, and the affiliated professional contractors.
	The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
	Stock Options
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income, because the market value of the Company’s stock equals the exercise price on the day options are granted. To the extent the Company realizes an income tax benefit from the exercise of certain stock options, this benefit results in a decrease in current income taxes payable and an increase in additional paid-in capital.
	Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“FAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts below:

The fair value of each option or share to be issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used for grants in the three months ended June 30, 2005 are: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 28%, and risk-free interest rates of 3.8% for options with expected lives of three years (officers of the Company), 3.7% for options with expected lives of three and one-half years (all other employees of the Company except physicians), and 3.6% for options with expected lives of four years (physicians of the Company). The weighted average assumptions used for grants in the three months ended June 30, 2004 are: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 53%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.1% for options with expected lives of three years (officers of the Company) and 3.0% for options with an expected life of three and one-half years (all other employees of the Company). No options with expected lives of four years (physicians of the Company) were granted in the three months ended June 30, 2004. The weighted average assumptions for grants in the six months ended June 30, 2005 are: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 28%, and risk-free interest rates of 3.7% for options with expected lives of three years (officers of the Company), 3.6% for options with expected lives of four years (physicians of the Company), and 3.7% for options with expected lives of three and one-half years (all other employees of the Company). The weighted average assumptions for grants in the six months ended June 30, 2004 are: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 53%, and risk-free interest rates of 2.9% for options with expected lives of three years (officers of the Company), 2.6% for options with expected lives of four years (physicians of the Company), and 2.2% for options with expected lives of three and one-half years (all other employees of the Company).

Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (“FAS 123R”) “Share Based Payment.” This statement is a revision to FAS 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” This statement requires companies to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options. This statement also provides guidance on valuing and expensing these awards, as well as disclosure requirements with respect to these equity arrangements. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) deferred the requirement for registrants to adopt FAS 123R from the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005 to the beginning of the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
	As permitted by FAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, the Company generally recognizes no compensation costs for employee stock options. The adoption of FAS 123R will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The Company will adopt the provisions of FAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of FAS 123R will have on its future results of operations.
	In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (“FAS 154”), “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” FAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” FAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle. FAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate, and that the correction of errors in previously issued financial statements be termed a restatement. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The implementation of FAS 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3.	Business Acquisitions:
	The Company completed the acquisition of nine physician group practices during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Total consideration and related costs for the acquired practices was approximately $65.9 million in cash. The Company may be required to pay additional contingent consideration of up to $5.0 million under the contract provisions of certain of these acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $65.0 million, other identifiable intangible assets consisting of physician and hospital agreements of approximately $1.7 million, and liabilities of $750,000. The goodwill of approximately $65.0 million which is related to these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes and represents the only change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The results of operations of the acquired practices have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
	The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated results of operations of the Company and the physician group practice operations acquired during 2004 and 2005 as if the transactions had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

6.	Net Income Per Share:
	Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated using the treasury stock method.
	The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004
	(in thousands, except for per share data)
Basic:
Net income applicable to common stock	$	27,127	$	25,235	$	45,110	$	46,551
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		23,116		24,476		22,906		24,277
Basic net income per share	$	1.17	$	1.03	$	1.97	$	1.92
Diluted:
Net income applicable to common stock	$	27,127	$	25,235	$	45,110	$	46,551
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		23,116		24,476		22,906		24,277
Weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents		706		981		737		1,001
Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding		23,822		25,457		23,643		25,278
Diluted net income per share	$	1.14	$	.99	$	1.91	$	1.84

	For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had approximately 38,000 and 7,000 outstanding employee stock options, respectively, that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had approximately 88,000 and 12,000 outstanding employee stock options, respectively, that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.
7.	Contingencies:
	In June 2002, the Company received a written request from the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) to submit information on a voluntary basis in connection with an investigation of issues of competition related to its May 2001 acquisition of Magella and its business practices generally. In February 2003, the Company received additional information requests from the FTC in the form of a Subpoena and Civil Investigative Demand. Pursuant to these requests, the Company produced documents and information relating to the acquisition and its business practices in certain markets. The Company has also provided on a voluntary basis additional information and testimony on issues related to the investigation. At this time, the investigation remains active and ongoing and the Company is cooperating fully with the FTC.

7.	Contingencies, Continued:
	Beginning in April 1999, the Company received requests from various federal and state investigators for information relating to its billing practices for services reimbursed by Medicaid, and the United States Department of Defense’s TRICARE program for military dependants and retirees. Since then, a number of the individual state investigations were resolved through agreements to refund certain overpayments and reimburse certain costs to the states. In June 2003, the Company was advised by a United States Attorney’s Office that it was conducting a civil investigation with respect to its Medicaid billing practices nationwide. This federal Medicaid investigation, the TRICARE investigation, and related state inquiries are being coordinated together and are active and ongoing.
	In July 2005, the Company was informed by the United States Attorney’s Office that the federal Medicaid investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint filed under seal by a third party, known as “qui tam” or “whistleblower” complaint, under the federal False Claims Act which permits private individuals to bring confidential actions on behalf of the government. Because the qui tam complaint is under seal, the Company has not been able to review it; however, the Company has been informed by the United States Attorney’s Office that its civil investigation encompasses all matters raised by the complaint.
	In April 2005, the Company made a settlement offer to federal and state authorities in connection with these matters. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” as a result of this offer, the Company increased its reserves relating to these matters by $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Although the Company continues to cooperate fully with federal and state authorities, there can be no assurance that the Company’s present offer will result in a settlement of these matters and the eventual resulting losses will not exceed the Company’s established reserves.
	In November 2003, the Company’s maternal-fetal practice in Las Vegas, Nevada was served with a search warrant by the State of Nevada. The warrant requested information concerning Medicaid billings for maternal-fetal care provided by the Company in that state. In June 2005, the Company settled all matters relating to the warrant by making a nominal payment to the State of Nevada. In connection with the settlement, the Company obtained a release from all claims relating to these matters.
	Currently, management cannot predict the timing or outcome of any of these pending investigations and inquiries and whether they will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of its common stock.
	The Company also expects that additional audits, inquiries and investigations from government authorities and agencies will continue to occur in the ordinary course of its business. Such audits, inquiries and investigations and their ultimate resolutions, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of its common stock.
	In the ordinary course of its business, the Company becomes involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by its affiliated physicians. The Company’s contracts with hospitals generally require it to indemnify them and their affiliates for losses resulting from the negligence of the Company’s affiliated physicians. The Company may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve large claims and significant defense costs. The Company believes, based upon its review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of its common stock. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of its common stock.
	Although the Company currently maintains liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and certain other claims, this coverage generally must be renewed annually and may not continue to be available to the Company in future years at acceptable costs and on favorable terms. In addition, the Company cannot assure that its insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against it in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. With respect to professional liability insurance, the Company self-insures its liabilities to pay deductibles through a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Liabilities in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and other claims, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

     The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, reference is made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “Pediatrix”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“PMG”), together with PMG’s affiliated professional associations, corporations and partnerships (“affiliated professional contractors”). PMG has contracts with its affiliated professional contractors, which are separate legal entities that provide physician services in certain states and Puerto Rico.

     The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. In addition, please see “Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” below.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we completed the acquisition of nine and seven physician group practices, respectively. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include the results of operations for the physician practice groups from their respective dates of acquisition, and therefore are not comparable in some material respects.

Results of Operations

          Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

     Our net patient service revenue increased $21.6 million, or 14.2%, to $173.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $152.2 million for the same period in 2004. Of this $21.6 million increase, $9.4 million, or 43.5%, was primarily attributable to revenue generated from acquisitions completed during 2004 and 2005. Same-unit net patient service revenue increased $12.2 million, or 8.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The net increase in same-unit net patient service revenue was primarily the result of: (i) increased revenue of approximately $5.9 million from a 5.6% increase in neonatal intensive care unit patient days; (ii) increased revenue of approximately $5.0 million from volume growth in maternal-fetal services, metabolic screening services and other services, including hearing screens and newborn nursery services provided by existing practices; and (iii) increased revenue of approximately $1.0 million related to hospital contract administrative fees due to expanded services in existing practices. Same unit revenue related to pricing was essentially flat due to a decline in revenue caused by a greater percentage of our patients being enrolled in government sponsored programs offset by improved managed care contracting and the flow through of revenue from modest price increases. Payments received from government-sponsored programs are substantially less than payments received from commercial insurance payors. This shift in our payor mix resulted in an increase in our estimated provision for contractual adjustments and uncollectibles for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Same units are those units at which we provided services for the entire current period and the entire comparable period.

     Practice salaries and benefits increased $14.3 million, or 17.0%, to $98.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $83.9 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to: (i) costs associated with new physicians and other staff of $9.9 million to support acquisition-related growth and volume growth at existing units; and (ii) an increase in incentive compensation of $4.4 million as a result of same unit growth and operational improvements at the physician practice level.

     Practice supplies and other operating expenses increased $884,000, or 14.8%, to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with $6.0 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to professional fees, maintenance costs and supply costs to support new and existing physician practices and our metabolic screening laboratory.

     General and administrative expenses include all billing and collection functions and all other salaries, benefits, supplies and operating expenses not specifically related to the day-to-day operations of our physician group practices. General and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 14.0%, to $22.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $19.6 million for the same period in 2004. This $2.7 million increase was primarily due to salaries and benefits and other general and administrative expenses related to the continued growth of the Company. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 12.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $192,000, or 8.2%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to amortization of identifiable intangible assets related to our acquisitions.

     Income from operations increased $3.5 million, or 8.6%, to $43.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with $40.4 million for the same period in 2004. Our operating margin decreased to 25.3% for the

13

three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2004. The decrease in our operating margin is primarily attributable to: (i) the shift in reimbursement for our services from commercial insurance payors to government-sponsored insurance payors beginning in the third quarter of 2004, and (ii) an increase in practice salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue.

     We recorded net interest expense of $647,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with net interest expense of $188,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings under our $225 million revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”) to fund acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2004 and to repurchase shares of our common stock during the fourth quarter of 2004. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 consisted primarily of interest charges, commitment fees and amortized debt costs associated with our Line of Credit.

     Our effective income tax rate was 37.25% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

     Net income increased to $27.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $25.2 million for the same period in 2004.

     Diluted net income per common and common equivalent share was $1.14 on weighted average shares of 23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $.99 on weighted average shares of 25.5 million for the same period in 2004. The net decrease in weighted average shares outstanding was primarily due to the impact of shares repurchased during 2004 offset in part by the exercise of employee stock options and the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan.

          Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

     Our net patient service revenue increased $37.6 million, or 12.5%, to $337.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $300.3 million for the same period in 2004. Of this $37.6 million increase, $19.4 million, or 51.6%, was primarily attributable to revenue generated from acquisitions completed during 2004 and 2005. Same-unit net patient service revenue increased $18.2 million, or 6.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The net increase in same-unit net patient service revenue was primarily the result of: (i) increased revenue of approximately $9.9 million from a 4.8% increase in neonatal intensive care unit patient days; (ii) increased revenue of approximately $8.1 million from volume growth in maternal-fetal services, metabolic screening services and other services, including hearing screens and newborn nursery services provided by existing practices; (iii) increased revenue of approximately $1.6 million related to hospital contract administrative fees due to expanded services in existing practices; and (iv) a net decrease in revenue of approximately $1.4 million due to a decline in revenue caused by a greater percentage of our patients being enrolled in government sponsored programs partially offset by improved managed care contracting and the flow through of revenue from modest price increases. Payments received from government-sponsored programs are substantially less than payments received from commercial insurance payors. This shift in our payor mix resulted in an increase in our estimated provision for contractual adjustments and uncollectibles for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Same units are those units at which we provided services for the entire current period and the entire comparable period.

     Practice salaries and benefits increased $25.6 million, or 15.0%, to $196.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $170.4 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to: (i) costs associated with new physicians and other staff of $20.3 million to support acquisition-related growth and volume growth at existing units; and (ii) an increase in incentive compensation of $5.3 million as a result of same unit growth and operational improvements at the physician practice level.

     Practice supplies and other operating expenses increased $1.8 million, or 15.8%, to $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with $11.3 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to professional fees, maintenance costs and supply costs to support new and existing physician practices and our metabolic screening laboratory.

     General and administrative expenses include all billing and collection functions and all other salaries, benefits, supplies and operating expenses not specifically related to the day-to-day operations of our physician group practices. General and administrative expenses increased $11.0 million, or 27.9%, to $50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $39.5 million for the same period in 2004. This $11.0 million increase is due to: (i) a $6.0 million increase in our estimated liability reserves as a result of a settlement offer we made in connection with our pending national Medicaid and TRICARE investigation, and (ii) a $5.0 million increase in salaries and benefits and other general and administrative expenses associated with the continued growth of the Company. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 13.1% for the same period in 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to the $6.0 million increase in our estimated liability reserves related to our pending national Medicaid and TRICARE investigation.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $476,000, or 10.1%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to amortization of identifiable intangible assets related to our acquisitions.

     Income from operations decreased $1.3 million, or 1.7%, to $73.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with $74.5 million for the same period in 2004. Our operating margin decreased to 21.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 24.8% for the same period in 2004. The decrease in our operating margin is primarily attributable to the $6.0 million adjustment related to the settlement offer we made in connection

14

with our pending national Medicaid and TRICARE investigation.

     We recorded net interest expense of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with net interest expense of $298,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings under our Line of Credit to fund acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2004 and to repurchase shares of our common stock during the fourth quarter of 2004. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 consisted primarily of interest charges, commitment fees and amortized debt costs associated with our Line of Credit.

     Our effective income tax rate was 37.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

     Net income decreased to $45.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $46.6 million for the same period in 2004. This $1.5 million decline in net income includes the $3.8 million after-tax impact of the adjustment related to the settlement offer we made in connection with our pending national Medicaid and TRICARE investigation.

     Diluted net income per common and common equivalent share was $1.91 on weighted average shares of 23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $1.84 on weighted average shares of 25.3 million for the same period in 2004. Diluted net income per common and common equivalent share of $1.91 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes the impact of the adjustment related to the settlement of our pending national Medicaid and TRICARE investigation. The net decrease in weighted average shares outstanding was primarily due to the impact of shares repurchased during 2004 offset in part by the exercise of employee stock options and the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $5.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as compared to $7.0 million at December 31, 2004. In addition, we had working capital of approximately $29.2 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $8.0 million from working capital of $21.2 million at December 31, 2004.

     Our net cash provided from operating activities was $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to net cash provided from operating activities of $33.3 million for the same period in 2004. The improvement in our cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily due to changes in our working capital components. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our significant working capital component changes are related to accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and income taxes payable.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, accounts receivable decreased by $2.0 million due to increased cash collections. Our days sales outstanding, or DSO, for accounts receivable at June 30, 2005 was 55.4 days, a decrease from 61.6 days at December 31, 2004. During the same period, we experienced a net decrease in cash flow from operating activities related to accounts payable and accrued expenses of $13.7 million primarily due to our annual physician incentive compensation payments. In addition, we realized an increase in income taxes payable which increased our cash flow from operating activities by $10.5 million. This increase in cash flow reflects the timing of our tax payments.

     Our accounts receivable are principally due from managed care payors, government payors, and other third party insurance payors. We track our collections from these sources, monitor the age of our accounts receivable, and make all reasonable efforts to collect outstanding accounts receivable through our systems, processes and personnel at our corporate and regional billing and collection offices. We use customary collection practices, including the use of outside collection agencies for accounts receivable due from private pay patients when appropriate. Almost all of our accounts receivable adjustments consist of contractual adjustments due to the difference between gross amounts billed and the amounts allowed by our payors. Any amounts written off related to private pay patients are based on the specific facts and circumstances related to each individual patient account.

     We maintain professional liability insurance policies with third-party insurers, subject to deductibles, exclusions and other restrictions. We self-insure our liabilities to pay deductibles under our professional liability insurance coverage through a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. We record a liability for self-insured deductibles and an estimate of liabilities for claims incurred but not reported based on an actuarial valuation using historical loss patterns. Effective May 1, 2005, we obtained professional liability coverage that expires on May 1, 2006 with substantially similar terms as our previous policy which includes a provision which may result in additional premiums or a return of premiums based on our actual losses.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our net cash flows provided from financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options partially offset by repayments on our Line of Credit.

     On March 11, 2005, we exercised an option under our Line of Credit to increase the aggregate commitments thereunder from $150 million to $225 million. Our Line of Credit matures in July 2009 and includes a $25 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit. At our option, the Line of Credit bears interest at (i) the base rate (defined as the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus .5% or the Bank of America prime rate) or (ii) the Eurodollar

15

rate plus an applicable margin rate ranging from .75% to 1.75% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Our Line of Credit is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. We are subject to certain covenants and restrictions specified in the Line of Credit, including covenants that require us to maintain a minimum level of net worth and that restrict us from paying dividends and making certain other distributions as specified therein. Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions would constitute an event of default under the Line of Credit, notwithstanding our ability to meet our debt service obligations. Our Line of Credit includes various customary remedies for our lenders following an event of default. At June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with the financial covenants and other restrictions applicable to us under the Line of Credit. At June 30, 2005, we had an outstanding principal balance of $45.2 million under our Line of Credit and outstanding letters of credit of $16.0 million, which reduced the amount available on our Line of Credit.

     The exercise of employee stock options generated cash proceeds of $25.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $23.3 million for the same period in 2004. Since stock option exercises are dependent on several factors, including the market price of our common stock, we cannot predict the timing and amount of any proceeds from future exercises.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash generated from our operating and financing activities along with cash on hand and amounts borrowed under our Line of Credit were primarily used to fund the acquisition of nine physician group practices for $65.9 million and to fund capital expenditures in the amount of $4.2 million. Our capital expenditures were for computer and office equipment, software, furniture and other improvements at our corporate and regional offices.

     We anticipate that funds generated from operations, together with our current cash on hand, short-term investments and funds available under the Line of Credit, will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements, fund anticipated acquisitions and capital expenditures, and meet our contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

     Certain information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are often characterized by terminology such as “believe,” “hope,” “may,” “anticipate,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy” and similar expressions and are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no duty to update or revise any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from forward-looking statements are described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

     Our Line of Credit and an aircraft operating lease agreement are subject to market risk and interest rate changes. The line of credit bears interest at our option at (i) the base rate (defined as the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus .5% or the Bank of America prime rate) or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin rate ranging from .75% to 1.75% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The aircraft operating lease bears interest at a LIBOR-based variable rate. The outstanding principal balance under our Line of Credit was $45.2 million at June 30, 2005. The outstanding balance related to the aircraft operating lease totaled approximately $4.7 million at June 30, 2005. Considering the total outstanding balances under these instruments at June 30, 2005 of approximately $49.9 million, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an impact to income before income taxes of approximately $499,000 per year.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

     We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2005.

     There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     In June 2002, we received a written request from the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) to submit information on a voluntary basis in connection with an investigation of issues of competition related to our May 2001 acquisition of Magella and our business practices generally. In February 2003, we received additional information requests from the FTC in the form of a Subpoena and Civil Investigative Demand. Pursuant to these requests, we produced documents and information relating to the acquisition and our business practices in certain markets. We have also provided on a voluntary basis additional information and testimony on issues related to the investigation. At this time, the investigation remains active and ongoing and we are cooperating fully with the FTC.

     Beginning in April 1999, we received requests from various federal and state investigators for information relating to our billing practices for services reimbursed by Medicaid, and the United States Department of Defense’s TRICARE program for military dependants and retirees. Since then, a number of the individual state investigations were resolved through agreements to refund certain overpayments and reimburse certain costs to the states. In June 2003, we were advised by a United States Attorney’s Office that it was conducting a civil investigation with respect to our Medicaid billing practices nationwide. This federal Medicaid investigation, the TRICARE investigation, and related state inquiries are being coordinated together and are active and ongoing.

     In July 2005, we were informed by the United States Attorney’s Office that the federal Medicaid investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint filed under seal by a third party, known as “qui tam” or “whistleblower” complaint, under the federal False Claims Act which permits private individuals to bring confidential actions on behalf of the government. Because the qui tam complaint is under seal, we have not been able to review it; however, we have been informed by the United States Attorney’s Office that its civil investigation encompasses all matters raised by the complaint.

     In April 2005, we made a settlement offer to federal and state authorities in connection with these matters. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” as a result of this offer, we increased our reserves relating to these matters by $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Although we continue to cooperate fully with federal and state authorities, there can be no assurance that our present offer will result in a settlement of these matters and the eventual resulting losses will not exceed our established reserves.

     In November 2003, our maternal-fetal practice in Las Vegas, Nevada was served with a search warrant by the State of Nevada. The warrant requested information concerning Medicaid billings for maternal-fetal care provided by us in that state. In June 2005, we settled all matters relating to the warrant by making a nominal payment to the State of Nevada. In connection with the settlement, we obtained a release from all claims relating to these matters.

     Currently, we cannot predict the timing or outcome of any of these pending investigations and inquiries and whether they will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of our common stock.

     We also expect that additional audits, inquiries and investigations from government authorities and agencies will continue to occur in the ordinary course of our business. Such audits, inquiries and investigations and their ultimate resolutions, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of our common stock.

     In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by our affiliated physicians. Our contracts with hospitals generally require us to indemnify them and their affiliates for losses resulting from the negligence of our affiliated physicians. We may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve large claims and significant defense costs. We believe, based upon our review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of our common stock. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of our common stock.

     Although we currently maintain liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and certain other claims, this coverage generally must be renewed annually and may not continue to be available to us in future years at acceptable costs and on favorable terms. In addition, we cannot assure that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. With respect to professional liability insurance, we self-insure our liabilities to pay deductibles through a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
