PART I
Forward-Looking Statements
     This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. All statements contained in this report other than historical information are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that represent our beliefs concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments, and contain words and phrases such as “may,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “should,” or similar expressions. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
    additional changes in government reimbursement for our services may result in increased costs and have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability, such as the regulations released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, on May 2, 2006 and the proposed regulations published by CMS on February 1, 2007;
 
    the failure of our long-term acute care hospitals to maintain their status as such may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;
 
    the failure of our facilities operated as “hospitals within hospitals” to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;
 
    implementation of modifications to the admissions policies for our inpatient rehabilitation facilities, as required to achieve compliance with Medicare guidelines, may result in a loss of patient volume at these hospitals and, as a result, may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability;
 
    implementation of annual caps that limit the amounts that can be paid for outpatient therapy services rendered to any Medicare beneficiary may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability;
 
    a government investigation or assertion that we have violated applicable regulations may result in sanctions or reputational harm and increased costs;
 
    integration of recently acquired operations and future acquisitions may prove difficult or unsuccessful, use significant resources or expose us to unforeseen liabilities;
 
    private third-party payors for our services may undertake future cost containment initiatives that limit our future net operating revenues and profitability;
 
    the failure to maintain established relationships with the physicians in our markets could reduce our net operating revenues and profitability;

 


Table of Contents

    shortages in qualified nurses or therapists could increase our operating costs significantly;
 
    competition may limit our ability to grow and result in a decrease in our net operating revenues and profitability;
 
    the loss of key members of our management team could significantly disrupt our operations; and
 
    the effect of claims asserted against us or lack of adequate available insurance could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.
     Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. For a discussion of those and other factors affecting our business, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of this report.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
     Select Medical Corporation (the “Company,” “Select,” “we” or “us”) is a leading operator of specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States. As of December 31, 2006, we operated 92 long-term acute care hospitals in 26 states, four acute medical rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as inpatient rehabilitation facilities, in New Jersey, and 544 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 19 states and the District of Columbia. We also provide medical rehabilitation services on a contract basis at nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and worksites. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership of our current management team, including our co-founders, Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio, both of whom have significant experience in the healthcare industry. Under this leadership, we have grown our business through internal development initiatives and strategic acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had net operating revenues of $1,851.5 million.
     We manage our Company through two business segments, our specialty hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. For the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 75% of our net operating revenues were from our specialty hospitals and approximately 25% were from our outpatient rehabilitation business.
The Merger Transactions
     On February 24, 2005, EGL Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into Select, with Select continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Select Medical Holdings Corporation (the “Merger”). Select Medical Holdings Corporation was formerly known as EGL Holding Company and is referred to as Holdings. Holdings and EGL Acquisition Corp. were Delaware corporations formed by Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe IX, LP (“Welsh Carson”), for purposes of engaging in the Merger and the related transactions. The Merger was completed pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 17, 2004, among EGL Acquisition Corp., Holdings and Select. The Merger and related transactions are collectively referred to in this report as the “Transactions.”
     As a result of the Transactions, our assets and liabilities have been adjusted to their fair value as of February 25, 2005. We have also experienced an increase in our aggregate outstanding indebtedness as a result of financing associated with the Transactions. Accordingly, our amortization expense and interest expense are higher in periods following the Transactions. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of our tangible and identifiable intangible assets of $1.4 billion has been allocated to goodwill, which is the subject of an annual impairment test.

Sale of Canadian Subsidiary
     On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary Canadian Back Institute Limited (“CBIL”) for approximately C$89.8 million in cash ($79.0 million US dollars). As of December 31, 2005, CBIL operated 109 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in seven Canadian provinces and had approximately 1,000 employees. We conducted all of our Canadian operations through CBIL. The financial results of CBIL have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this report, and its assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale on our December 31, 2005 balance sheet.
Agreement to Purchase HealthSouth Corporation Outpatient Rehabilitation Division
     On January 27, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with HealthSouth Corporation (“HealthSouth”) pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire the outpatient rehabilitation division of HealthSouth for approximately $245.0 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the division’s net working capital on the closing date.
     The HealthSouth transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
Agreement to Purchase Nexus Health Systems, Inc.
      On March 26, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Nexus Health Systems, Inc. (“Nexus”), Neurobehavioral Management Services L.L.C., Nexus Health Inc. and the stockholders of Nexus Health Systems, Inc. to acquire substantially all of the assets of Nexus for approximately $49.0 million in cash plus the assumption of a capital lease. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on Nexus’s net working capital, cash and indebtedness on the closing date.
      The Nexus transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
Amendment to Credit Agreement
     On March 19, 2007, we entered into an Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to our senior secured credit facility (“Amendment No. 2”) and on March 28, 2007 we entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Amendment No. 2 increases our general exception to the prohibition on asset sales under our senior secured credit facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, relaxes certain financial covenants starting March 31, 2007 and waives our requirement to prepay certain term loan borrowings following our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Incremental Facility Amendment provides to us an incremental term loan of $100.0 million, the proceeds of which we intend to use to pay a portion of the purchase price for the HealthSouth transaction.
Specialty Hospitals
     As of December 31, 2006, we operated 96 specialty hospitals. Of this total, 92 operated as long-term acute care hospitals, 89 of which were certified by the federal Medicare program as long-term acute care hospitals, and three additional specialty hospitals were in the process of becoming certified as Medicare long-term acute care hospitals. The remaining four specialty hospitals are certified by the federal Medicare program as inpatient rehabilitation facilities. For the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 69% of the net operating revenues of our specialty hospital segment came from Medicare reimbursement. As of December 31, 2006, we operated a total of 3,867 available licensed beds and employed approximately 11,400 people in our specialty hospital segment, with the majority being registered or licensed nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists.
     Patients are typically admitted to our specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke, cardiac disorders, non-healing wounds, renal disorders and cancer. These patients generally require a longer length of stay than patients in a general acute care hospital and benefit from being treated in a specialty hospital that is designed to meet their unique medical needs. Below is a table that shows the distribution by medical condition (based on primary diagnosis) of patients in our hospitals for the year ended December 31, 2006:

     We believe that we provide our services on a more cost-effective basis than a typical general acute care hospital because we provide a much narrower range of services. We believe that our services are therefore attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide the most cost-effective level of care to their enrollees. Additionally, we continually seek to increase our admissions by expanding and improving our relationships with the physicians and general acute care hospitals that refer patients to our facilities.
     When a patient is referred to one of our hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, health maintenance organization or insurance company, a clinical liaison along with a Select case manager makes an assessment to determine the care required. Based on the determinations reached in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made by the attending physician.
     Upon admission, an interdisciplinary team reviews a new patient’s condition. The interdisciplinary team is comprised of a number of clinicians and may include any or all of the following: an attending physician; a specialty nurse; a physical, occupational or speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietician; a pharmacist; and a case manager. Upon completion of an initial evaluation by each member of the treatment team, an individualized treatment plan is established and implemented. The case manager coordinates all aspects of the patient’s hospital stay and serves as a liaison with the insurance carrier’s case management staff when appropriate. The case manager communicates progress, resource utilization, and treatment goals between the patient, the treatment team and the payor.
     Each of our specialty hospitals has an onsite management team consisting of a chief executive officer, a director of clinical services and a director of provider relations. These teams manage local strategy and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. They also assume primary responsibility for developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in our markets that refer patients to our specialty hospitals. We provide our hospitals with centralized accounting, payroll, legal, reimbursement, human resources, compliance, management information systems, billing and collecting services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits hospital staff to spend more time on patient care.
     We operate most of our long-term acute care hospitals using a “hospital within a hospital,” or “HIH,” model. A long-term acute care hospital that operates as an HIH leases space from a general acute care “host” hospital and operates as a separately-licensed hospital within the host hospital, or on the same campus as the host hospital, in contrast to a long-term acute care hospital that owns or operates a free-standing facility. Of the 92 long-term acute care hospitals we operated as of December 31, 2006, 79 were operated as hospitals within hospitals and 13 were operated as free-standing facilities. As a result of the HIH regulatory changes discussed in further detail in “Business — Government Regulations,” we developed and are currently implementing a plan that includes, among other things, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying additional free-standing facilities and closing some of our facilities. If the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, implements certain proposed additional regulatory changes, including an expansion of the Medicare admission limitation to free-standing long-term acute care hospitals, as discussed in the proposed annual payment update for the 2008 rate year, our plan will have to be revised.

Table of Contents

     All Medicare payments to our long-term acute care hospitals are made in accordance with the prospective payment system specifically applicable to long-term acute care hospitals, referred to as “LTCH-PPS.” Under LTCH-PPS, a long-term acute care hospital is paid a pre-determined fixed amount depending upon the long-term care diagnosis-related group, or “LTC-DRG,” to which each patient is assigned. LTCH-PPS includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on a variety of factors. Some of these special payment policies have been the subject of recent regulatory developments. See “Business — Government Regulations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Regulatory Changes.”
Outpatient Rehabilitation
     As of December 31, 2006, we operated 544 clinics throughout 19 states and the District of Columbia. Typically, each of our clinics is located in a medical complex or retail location. As of December 31, 2006, our outpatient rehabilitation segment employed approximately 6,300 people.
     In our clinics and through our contractual relationships, we provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation programs and services. We also provide certain specialized programs such as hand therapy or sports performance enhancement that treat sports and work related injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic or acute pain and orthopedic conditions. The typical patient in one of our clinics suffers from musculoskeletal impairments that restrict his or her ability to perform normal activities of daily living. These impairments are often associated with accidents, sports injuries, strokes, heart attacks and other medical conditions. Our rehabilitation programs and services are designed to help these patients minimize physical and cognitive impairments and maximize functional ability. We also design services to prevent short-term disabilities from becoming chronic conditions. Our rehabilitation services are provided by our professionals including licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and respiratory therapists.
     Outpatient rehabilitation patients are generally referred or directed to our clinics by a physician, employer or health insurer who believes that a patient, employee or member can benefit from the level of therapy we provide in an outpatient setting. We believe that our services are attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide the most cost-effective level of care to their enrollees. In addition to providing therapy in our outpatient clinics, we provide medical rehabilitation management services on a contract basis at nursing homes, hospitals, schools, assisted living and senior care centers and worksites. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, approximately 91% of our net operating revenues come from commercial payors, including healthcare insurers, managed care organizations and workers’ compensation programs, contract management services and private pay sources. The balance of our reimbursement is derived from Medicare and other government sponsored programs.
Other Services
     Other services (which accounted for less than 1% of our net operating revenues in the year ended December 31, 2006) includes certain non-healthcare services.
Specialty Hospital Strategy
     Provide high quality care and service. We believe that our patients benefit from our experience in addressing complex medical and rehabilitation needs. To effectively address the nature of our patients’ medical conditions, we have developed specialized treatment programs focused solely on their needs. We have also implemented specific staffing models that are designed to ensure that patients have access to the necessary level of clinical attention. We believe that by focusing on quality care and service we develop brand loyalty in our markets allowing us to retain patients and strengthen our relationships with physicians, employers and health insurers.

Table of Contents

     Our treatment and staffing programs benefit patients because they give our clinicians access to the regimens that we have found to be most effective in treating various conditions such as respiratory failure, non-healing wounds, brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and neuromuscular disorders. In addition, we combine or modify these programs to provide a treatment plan tailored to meet a patient’s unique needs.
     The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including patient, payor and physician satisfaction, as well as clinical outcomes. Quality measures are collected monthly and reported quarterly and annually. In order to benchmark ourselves against other healthcare organizations, we have contracted with outside vendors to collect our clinical and patient satisfaction information and compare it to other healthcare organizations. The information collected is reported back to each hospital, to the corporate office, and directly to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, commonly known as JCAHO. As of December 31, 2006, JCAHO had accredited all but three of our hospitals. These three hospitals have not yet undergone a JCAHO survey. Each of our four inpatient rehabilitation facilities has also received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, commonly known as CARF. See “— Government Regulations — Licensure — Accreditation.”
     Mitigate impact of revised Medicare regulations. In order to minimize the impact of the HIH admission regulations, we have developed and are currently implementing a business plan and strategy in each of our markets to adapt to the HIH admission regulations. Our transition plan includes managing admissions at existing HIHs, relocating certain HIHs to leased spaces in smaller host hospitals in the same markets, consolidating HIHs in certain of our markets, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying free-standing facilities and closing some of our facilities. If CMS implements the February 2007 proposed additional regulatory changes regarding admissions to long-term acute care hospitals, our plan will have to be revised.
     Reduce operating costs. We continually seek to improve operating efficiency and reduce costs at our hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:
    optimizing staffing based on our occupancy and the clinical needs of our patients;
 
    centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, finance, payroll, legal, reimbursement, compliance, human resources and billing and collection;
 
    standardizing management information systems to aid in financial reporting as well as billing and collecting; and
 
    participating in group purchasing arrangements to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.
     Increase higher margin commercial volume. We typically receive higher reimbursement rates from commercial insurers than we do from the federal Medicare program. As a result, we work to expand relationships with insurers to increase commercial patient volume. We believe that commercial payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer patients high quality and cost-effective care. Although the level of care we provide is complex and staff intensive, we typically have lower relative operating expenses than a general acute care hospital because we provide a much narrower range of patient services at our hospitals. As a result of our lower relative costs, we offer more attractive rates to commercial payors. We also offer commercial enrollees customized treatment programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

Table of Contents

     Develop new specialty hospitals. We expect to continue evaluating opportunities to develop new long-term acute care hospitals and free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
     We have a dedicated development team with significant market experience. When we target a new market, the development team conducts an extensive review of local market referral patterns and commercial insurance to determine the general reimbursement trends and payor mix. Ultimately, when we determine a location for the development of a new specialty hospital, we evaluate the opportunities in the market for the construction of new space or the leasing and renovation of existing space. During construction or renovation, the project is transitioned to our start-up team, which is experienced in preparing a specialty hospital for opening. The start-up team oversees equipment purchases, licensure procedures and the recruitment of a full-time management team. After the facility is opened, responsibility for its management is transitioned to this new management team and our corporate operations group.
     Pursue opportunistic acquisitions. In addition to our development initiatives, we may grow our network of specialty hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions, such as our acquisition of SemperCare, Inc., or SemperCare, which we completed on January 1, 2005. We adhere to selective criteria in our acquisition analysis and have historically been able to obtain assets for what we believe are attractive valuations. When we acquire a hospital or a group of hospitals, a team of our professionals is responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We have generally been able to increase margins at acquired facilities by adding clinical programs that attract commercial payors, centralizing administrative functions and implementing our standardized staffing models and resource management programs. From our inception in 1997 through December 31, 2006, we have acquired and integrated 58 hospitals. All of these hospitals now share our centralized billing and collections, accounting, payroll, reimbursement, legal, human resources, compliance and standardized management information systems. All of our acquired hospitals participate in our centralized purchasing program.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy
     Provide high quality care and service. We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout their entire course of treatment. To measure satisfaction with our service we have developed surveys for both patients and physicians. Our clinics utilize the feedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe that by focusing on quality care and offering a high level of customer service we develop brand loyalty in our markets. This loyalty allows us to retain patients and strengthen our relationships with the physicians, employers and health insurers in our markets who refer or direct additional patients to us.
     Increase market share. Our goal is to be a leading provider of outpatient rehabilitation services in our local markets. Having a strong market share in our local markets allows us to benefit from heightened brand awareness, economies of scale and increased leverage when negotiating payor contracts. To increase our market share, we seek to expand our services and programs and to continue to provide high quality care and strong customer service in order to generate loyalty with patients and referral sources.
     Expand rehabilitation programs and services. We assess the healthcare needs of our markets and implement programs and services targeted to meet the demands of the local community. In designing these programs we benefit from the knowledge we gain through our national network of clinics. This knowledge is used to design programs that optimize treatment methods and measure changes in health status, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
     Optimize the profitability of our payor contracts. Before we enter into a new contract with a commercial payor, we evaluate it with the aid of our contract management system. We assess potential profitability by evaluating past and projected patient volume, clinic capacity, and expense trends. Each contract we enter into is continually re-evaluated to determine how it is affecting our profitability. We create a retention strategy for each of the top performing contracts and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do not meet our defined criteria.
     Maintain strong employee relations. We believe that the relationships between our employees and the referral sources in their communities are critical to our success. Our referral sources, such as

- 7 -


Table of Contents

physicians and healthcare case managers, send their patients to our clinics based on three factors: the quality of our care, the service we provide and their familiarity with our therapists. We seek to retain and motivate our therapists by implementing a performance-based bonus program, a defined career path with the ability to be promoted from within, timely communication on company developments and internal training programs. We also focus on empowering our employees by giving them a high degree of autonomy in determining local market strategy. This management approach reflects the unique nature of each market in which we operate and the importance of encouraging our employees to assume responsibility for their clinic’s performance.
     Pursue opportunistic acquisitions. We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic acquisitions, such as our proposed acquisition of the HealthSouth outpatient rehabilitation division that is currently pending. Acquisitions of additional outpatient rehabilitation facilities will allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and increase margins at acquired facilities by bringing these facilities within our centralized management structure.

Government Sources
     Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled persons, and persons with end-stage renal disease. Medicaid is a federal-state funded program, administered by the states, which provides medical benefits to individuals who are unable to afford healthcare. All of our hospitals are currently certified as Medicare providers. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics regularly receive Medicare payments for their services. Additionally, our specialty hospitals participate in 20 state Medicaid programs. Amounts received under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are generally less than the customary charges for the services provided. In recent years there have been significant changes made to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since more than half of our revenues come from patients under the Medicare program, our ability to operate our business successfully in the future will depend in large measure on our ability to adapt to changes in the Medicare program. See “Business — Government Regulations — Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements.”

Non-Government Sources
     Although in recent years an increasing percentage of our net operating revenues were generated from the Medicare program, a significant amount of our net operating revenues continue to come from commercial and private payor sources. These sources include insurance companies, workers’ compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers, as well as by patients directly. Patients are generally not responsible for any difference between customary charges for our services and amounts paid by Medicare and Medicaid programs, insurance companies, workers’ compensation companies, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care companies, but are responsible for services not covered by these programs or plans, as well as for deductibles and co-insurance obligations of their coverage. The amount of these deductibles and co-insurance obligations has increased in recent years. Collection of amounts due from individuals is typically more difficult than collection of amounts due from government or business payors. To further reduce their healthcare costs, most insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care companies have negotiated discounted fee structures or fixed amounts for hospital services performed, rather than paying healthcare providers the amounts billed. Our results of operations may be negatively affected if these organizations are successful in negotiating further discounts.
Employees
     As of December 31, 2006, we employed approximately 18,200 people throughout the United States. A total of approximately 12,000 of our employees are full time and the remaining approximately 6,200 are part time employees. Outpatient, contract therapy and physical rehabilitation and occupational health employees totaled approximately 6,300 and inpatient employees totaled approximately 11,400. The remaining approximately 500 employees were in corporate management, administration and other services.
Competition
     We compete on the basis of pricing, the quality of the patient services we provide and the results that we achieve for our patients. The primary competitive factors in the long-term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation businesses include quality of services, charges for services and responsiveness to the needs of patients, families, payors and physicians. Other companies operate long-term acute care hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities that compete with our hospitals, including large operators of similar facilities, such as Kindred Healthcare Inc. and HealthSouth. The competitive position of any hospital is also affected by the ability of its management to negotiate contracts with purchasers of group healthcare services, including private employers, managed care companies, preferred provider organizations and health maintenance organizations. Such organizations attempt to obtain discounts from established hospital charges. The importance of obtaining contracts with preferred provider organizations, health maintenance organizations and other organizations which finance healthcare, and its effect on a hospital’s competitive position, vary from market to market, depending on the number and market strength of such organizations.
     Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face competition principally from locally owned and managed outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the communities they serve. Many of these clinics have longer operating histories and greater name recognition in these communities than our clinics, and they may have stronger relations with physicians in these communities on whom we rely for patient referrals.
Government Regulations
General
     The healthcare industry is required to comply with many laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels. These laws and regulations require that hospitals and outpatient

Table of Contents

rehabilitation clinics meet various requirements, including those relating to the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, maintenance of adequate records, safeguarding protected health information, compliance with building codes and environmental protection and healthcare fraud and abuse. These laws and regulations are extremely complex and, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.
Licensure
     Facility licensure. Our healthcare facilities are subject to state and local licensing regulations ranging from the adequacy of medical care to compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In order to assure continued compliance with these various regulations, governmental and other authorities periodically inspect our facilities.
     Some states still require us to get approval under certificate of need regulations when we create, acquire or expand our facilities or services. If we fail to show public need and obtain approval in these states for our facilities, we may be subject to civil or even criminal penalties, lose our facility license or become ineligible for reimbursement if we proceed with our development or acquisition of the new facility or service.
     Professional licensure and corporate practice. Healthcare professionals at our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics are required to be individually licensed or certified under applicable state law. We take steps to ensure that our employees and agents possess all necessary licenses and certifications. In some states, business corporations such as ours are restricted from practicing therapy through the direct employment of therapists. In those states, in order to comply with the restrictions imposed, we either contract to obtain therapy services from an entity permitted to employ therapists or we manage the physical therapy practice owned by licensed therapists through which the therapy services are provided.
     Certification. In order to participate in the Medicare program and receive Medicare reimbursement, each facility must comply with the applicable regulations of the United States Department of Health and Human Services relating to, among other things, the type of facility, its equipment, its personnel and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations. All of our specialty hospitals participate in the Medicare program. In addition, we provide the majority of our outpatient rehabilitation services through clinics certified by Medicare as rehabilitation agencies or “rehab agencies.”
     Accreditation. Our hospitals receive accreditation from the JCAHO. As of December 31, 2006, JCAHO had accredited all but three of our hospitals. These three hospitals have not yet undergone a JCAHO survey. Each of our four inpatient rehabilitation facilities has also received accreditation from CARF, an independent, not-for-profit organization which reviews and grants accreditation for rehabilitation facilities that meet established standards for service and quality.
Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements
     Medicare. The Medicare program reimburses healthcare providers for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human Services and CMS. For the combined fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we received approximately 56% and 53%, respectively, of our revenue from Medicare.

Table of Contents

     The Medicare program reimburses various types of providers, including long-term acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient rehabilitation providers, using different payment methodologies. The Medicare reimbursement systems for long-term acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient rehabilitation providers, as described below, are different than the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. For general acute care hospitals, Medicare payments are made under an inpatient prospective payment system, or IPPS, under which a hospital receives a fixed payment amount per discharge (adjusted for area wage differences) using diagnosis related groups, commonly referred to as DRGs. The general acute care hospital DRG payment rate is based upon the national average cost of treating a Medicare patient’s condition in that type of facility. Although the average length of stay varies for each DRG, the average stay of all Medicare patients in a general acute care hospital is approximately six days. Thus, the prospective payment system for general acute care hospitals creates an economic incentive for those hospitals to discharge medically complex Medicare patients as soon as clinically possible. Effective October 1, 2005, CMS expanded its post-acute care transfer policy under which general acute care hospitals are paid on a per diem basis rather than the full DRG rate if a patient is discharged early to certain post-acute care settings, including long-term acute care hospitals. When a patient is discharged from selected DRGs to, among other providers, an LTCH, the general acute care hospital is reimbursed below the full DRG payment if the patient’s length of stay is short relative to the geometric mean length of stay for the DRG. This policy originally applied to 10 DRGs beginning in fiscal year 1999 and was expanded to additional DRGs in FY 2004 and a total of 182 DRGs effective October 1, 2005. The expansion of this policy to patients in a greater number of DRGs could cause general acute care hospitals to delay discharging those patients to our long-term acute care hospitals.
     Long-term acute care hospital Medicare reimbursement. The Medicare payment system for long-term acute care hospitals is based on a prospective payment system specifically applicable to long-term acute care hospitals, which is referred to as LTCH-PPS. LTCH-PPS was established by final regulations published on August 30, 2002 by CMS, and applies to long-term acute care hospitals for their cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2002. Under LTCH-PPS, each patient discharged from a long-term acute care hospital is assigned to a distinct long-term care diagnosis-related group, which is referred to as an LTC-DRG, and a long-term acute care hospital will generally be paid a pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned LTC-DRG (adjusted for area wage differences). The payment amount for each LTC-DRG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient assigned to that LTC-DRG in a long-term acute care hospital. LTCH-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the patient’s length of stay, the facility’s costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors. As required by Congress, LTC-DRG payment rates have been set to maintain budget neutrality with total expenditures that would have been made under the previous reasonable cost-based payment system.
     The LTCH-PPS regulations also refined the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as a long-term acute care hospital. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2002, a long-term acute care hospital must have an average inpatient length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days) of greater than 25 days. Previously, average lengths of stay were measured with respect to all patients. LTCHs that fail to exceed an average length of stay of greater than 25 days during any cost reporting period will be paid under the general acute care hospital DRG-based reimbursement.
     Prior to qualifying under the payment system applicable to long-term acute care hospitals, a new long-term acute care hospital initially receives payments under the general acute care hospital DRG-based reimbursement system. The long-term acute care hospital must continue to be paid under this system for a minimum of six months while meeting certain Medicare long-term acute care hospital requirements, the most significant requirement being an average Medicare length of stay of more than 25 days.

Regulatory Changes
     August 2004 Final Rule. On August 11, 2004, CMS published final regulations applicable to long-term acute care hospitals that are operated as HIHs. Effective for hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, subject to certain exceptions, the final regulations provide lower rates of reimbursement to HIHs for those Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals that are in excess of a specified percentage threshold. For HIHs opened after October 1, 2004, the Medicare admissions threshold has been established at 25%. For HIHs that meet specified criteria and were in existence as of October 1, 2004, which included all but two of our then existing HIHs, the Medicare admissions thresholds are phased-in over a four-year period starting with hospital cost reporting periods that began on or after October 1, 2004. For discharges during the cost reporting period that began on or after October 1, 2005 and before October 1, 2006, the Medicare admissions threshold was the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage (as defined below) of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 75%. For discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2006 and before October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 50%. For discharges during cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is 25%. As used above, “Fiscal 2004 Percentage” means, with respect to any HIH, the percentage of all Medicare patients discharged by such HIH during its cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2003 and before October 1, 2004 who were admitted to such HIH from its host hospital, but in no event is the Fiscal 2004 Percentage less than 25%. The HIH regulations also established exceptions to the Medicare admissions thresholds with respect to patients who reach “outlier” status at the host hospital, HIHs located in “MSA-dominant hospitals” or HIHs located in rural areas.
     August 2005 Final Rule. On August 12, 2005, CMS published the IPPS final rule for fiscal year 2006, which included an update of the LTC-DRG relative weights for fiscal year 2006. CMS estimated the changes to the relative weights would reduce LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge by approximately 4.2 percent in fiscal year 2006.
     May 2006 Final Rule. On May 2, 2006, CMS released its final annual payment rate updates for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007). For discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the rule changed the payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for each LTC-DRG (referred to as “short-stay outlier” or “SSO” cases). Payment for these patients had been based on the lesser of (1) 120 percent of the cost of the case; (2) 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient’s length of stay; or (3) the full LTC-DRG payment. The May 2006 final rule modified the limitation in clause (1) above to reduce payment for SSO cases to 100 percent (rather than 120 percent) of the cost of the case. The final rule also added a fourth limitation, capping payment for SSO cases at a per diem rate derived from blending 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS. Under this methodology, as a patient’s length of stay increases, the percentage of the per diem amount based upon the IPPS component will decrease and the percentage based on the LTC-DRG component will increase.
     In addition, for discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the May 2006 final rule provided for (i) a zero-percent update to the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate used as a basis for LTCH-PPS payments for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year; (ii) the elimination of the surgical case exception to the three-day or less interruption of stay policy, under which surgical exception Medicare reimburses a general acute care hospital directly for surgical services furnished to a long-term acute care hospital patient during a brief interruption of stay from the long-term acute care hospital, rather than requiring the long-term acute care hospital to bear responsibility for such surgical services; and (iii) increasing the costs that a long-term acute care hospital must bear before Medicare will make additional payments for a case under its high-cost outlier policy for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year.

Table of Contents

     CMS estimated that the changes in the May 2006 final rule will result in an approximately 3.7 percent decrease in LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge as compared to the 2006 rate year, largely attributable to the revised SSO payment methodology. Based upon our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues, we expect that the May 2006 final rule will reduce Medicare revenues associated with SSO cases and high-cost outlier cases to our long-term acute care hospitals by approximately $30.0 million on an annual basis. Additionally, had CMS updated the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate by the 2007 estimated market basket index of 3.4 percent rather than applying the zero-percent update, we estimate that we would have received approximately $31.0 million in additional annual Medicare revenues, based on our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues (such revenues would have been paid to our hospitals for discharges beginning on or after July 1, 2006).
     August 2006 Final Rule. On August 18, 2006, CMS published the IPPS final rule for fiscal year 2007, which included an update of the LTC-DRG relative weights for fiscal year 2007. CMS estimated the changes to the relative weights would reduce LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge by approximately 1.3 percent in fiscal year 2007. The August 2006 final rule also included changes to the diagnosis related groups in IPPS that apply to LTCHs, as the LTC-DRGs are based on the IPPS DRGs. CMS created twenty new DRGs and modified thirty-two others, including LTC-DRGs. Prior to the August 2006 final rule, certain HIHs that were in existence on or before September 30, 1995, and certain satellite facilities that were in existence on or before September 30, 1999, referred to as “grandfathered” HIHs or satellites, were not subject to certain HIH “separateness and control” requirements as long as the “grandfathered” HIHs or satellites continued to operate under the same terms and conditions, including the number of beds and square footage, in effect on September 30, 2003 (for grandfathered HIHs) or September 30, 1999 (for grandfathered satellites). These grandfathered HIHs were also not subject to the payment adjustments for discharged Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals in excess of the specified percentage threshold, as discussed in the August 2004 rule above. The August 2006 final rule revised the regulations to provide grandfathered HIHs and satellites more flexibility in adjusting square footage upward or downward, or decreasing the number of beds without being subject to the “separateness and control” requirements and payment adjustment provisions. As of December 31, 2006, we operated two grandfathered LTCH HIHs.
     February 2007 Proposed Rule. On February 1, 2007, CMS published its proposed annual payment rate update for the 2008 LTCH-PPS rate year (“RY 2008”) (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and before July 1, 2008). If the rule is adopted as proposed, several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts will be implemented during RY 2008. The final rule, which may differ from the proposed rule, is expected to be published in May of 2007. Compliance with the final rule and any changes to LTCH-PPS may have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     For cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007, the February 2007 proposed rule would expand the current Medicare HIH admissions threshold to apply to Medicare patients admitted from any individual hospital. (Currently, the admissions threshold is applicable only to Medicare HIH admissions from hospitals co-located with a LTCH or satellite of an LTCH.) If the proposed rule is adopted, free-standing LTCHs and grandfathered LTCH HIHs would be subject to the Medicare admission threshold, as well as HIHs and satellites that admit Medicare patients from non-co-located hospitals. To the extent that any LTCH’s or LTCH satellite facility’s discharges that are admitted from an individual hospital (regardless of whether the referring hospital is co-located with the LTCH or LTCH satellite) exceed 25%, or the applicable percentage threshold during a particular cost reporting period, the payment rate for those discharges would be subject to a downward payment adjustment. The percentage threshold for long-term acute care hospital discharges from a referring hospital that is an “MSA-dominant” hospital or a single urban hospital would be the percentage of total Medicare discharges in the metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) that are from the referring hospital, but no less than 25% nor more than 50%. For Medicare discharges from LTCHs or LTCH satellites located

- 13 -


Table of Contents

in rural areas, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget, the percentage threshold would be 50% from any individual referring hospital. Cases admitted in excess of the applicable threshold would be reimbursed at a rate comparable to the general acute care IPPS. Cases that reach outlier status in the discharging hospital would not count toward the limit and would be paid under LTCH-PPS. CMS estimates the impact of the expansion of the Medicare admission threshold would result in a reduction of 2.2% of the aggregate payments to all LTCHs in RY 2008.
     If the February 2007 proposed rule is adopted, existing free-standing LTCHs and grandfathered LTCH HIHs would be subject to an abbreviated phase-in. For a cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and before October 1, 2007, the applicable percentage threshold would be the lesser of LTCH or LTCH satellite’s Medicare discharges admitted from the referring hospital during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2004 and before October 1, 2005 or 50%. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007, the applicable percentage threshold would be 25%. The same abbreviated phase-in would apply to Medicare discharges of HIHs and satellites that were admitted from a non-co-located hospital. Of the 92 long-term acute care hospitals we operated as of December 31, 2006, 13 were operated as free-standing facilities and two qualified as grandfathered LTCH HIHs.
     In addition, the February 2007 proposed rule would (i) allow CMS to update the LTC-DRG relative weights annually in a budget neutral manner based on case mix analysis; (ii) increase the fixed-loss amount for cases paid under a high-cost outlier policy for RY 2008 to $18,774; and (iii) provide an overall 0.71% Medicare payment rate update for RY 2008.
     In the February 2007 proposed rule, CMS also stated that it was considering a new limitation for short-stay outlier cases. Specifically, CMS stated that it was considering an approach by which payment for each short-stay outlier case having a length of stay that is shorter than an “IPPS Comparable Threshold” would be limited to a per diem amount comparable to the per diem payment under IPPS for the same DRG. The IPPS Comparable Threshold would be the average length of stay in a general acute care hospital plus one standard deviation for the same DRG.
     Transition Plan. As of December 31, 2006, we operated 92 long-term acute care hospitals, 79 of which operated as HIHs. In order to minimize the impact of the HIH admission regulations, we have developed and are currently implementing a business plan and strategy in each of our markets to adapt to the HIH admission regulations. Our transition plan includes managing admissions at existing HIHs, relocating certain HIHs to leased spaces in smaller host hospitals in the same markets, consolidating HIHs in certain of our markets, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying free-standing facilities and closing some of our facilities. If CMS implements the February 2007 proposed additional regulatory changes regarding admissions to long-term acute care hospitals, our plan will have to be revised.
     RTI Study on LTCH Criteria. In the May 2006 final rule, CMS also discussed the contract it has awarded to Research Triangle Institute, International, or RTI, to examine recommendations made by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, or MedPAC, concerning how long-term acute care hospitals are defined and differentiated from other types of Medicare providers. MedPAC is an independent federal body that advises Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. In its June 2004 “Report to Congress,” MedPAC recommended the adoption by CMS of new facility staffing and services criteria and patient clinical characteristics and treatment requirements for long-term acute care hospitals in order to ensure that only appropriate patients are admitted to these facilities.
     In its January 2007 final report, RTI made 15 patient- and facility-level recommendations to CMS regarding the types of criteria needed to distinguish LTCHs from other types of hospitals. Among the 15 recommendations, RTI proposed that CMS: (i) restrict LTCH admissions to cases that meet certain medical criteria; (ii) require LTCH admissions to be discharged if not having diagnostic procedures or

improving with treatment; (iii) develop a list of criteria to measure medical severity for hospital admissions; (iv) standardize conditions of participation and set staffing requirements to ensure appropriate staff for treating medically complex cases; (v) maintain the 25-day average length of stay requirement; (vi) permit LTCHs to open certified distinct-part rehabilitation and psychiatric units; (vii) establish payment rules that discourage LTCHs from transferring cases early to other post-acute settings; and (viii) clarify the role of Quality Improvement Organizations in overseeing the appropriateness of admissions to LTCHs.
     In the February 2007 proposed rule, CMS acknowledged that RTI’s recommendations would require further study and, in some instances, action by Congress in order to accomplish certain recommendations. RTI has solicited on-going involvement of physicians familiar with LTCH type patients for participation in a technical expert panel to further develop its recommendations.
     Inpatient rehabilitation facility Medicare reimbursement. Our acute medical rehabilitation hospitals are certified as inpatient rehabilitation facilities by the Medicare program, and are subject to a prospective payment system for services provided to each discharged Medicare beneficiary. Prior to January 1, 2002, inpatient rehabilitation facilities were paid on the basis of Medicare reasonable costs per case, subject to limits under TEFRA. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002, inpatient rehabilitation facilities are paid under a new prospective payment system specifically applicable to this provider type, which is referred to as “IRF-PPS.” Under the IRF-PPS, each patient discharged from an inpatient rehabilitation facility is assigned to a case-mix group or “IRF-CMG” containing patients with similar clinical problems that are expected to require similar amounts of resources. An inpatient rehabilitation facility is generally paid a pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned IRF-CMG (subject to applicable case adjustments related to length of stay and facility level adjustments for location and low income patients). The payment amount for each IRF-CMG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient’s condition in an inpatient rehabilitation facility relative to patients with conditions described by other IRF-CMGs. The IRF-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the patient’s length of stay, the facility’s costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors. As required by Congress, IRF-CMG payments rates have been set to maintain budget neutrality with total expenditures that would have been made under the previous reasonable cost based system. The IRF-PPS was phased-in over a transition period in 2002. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002 and before October 1, 2002, an inpatient rehabilitation facility’s payment for each Medicare patient was a blended amount consisting of 662/3% of the IRF-PPS payment rate and 331/3% of the hospital’s reasonable cost based reimbursement. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2002, inpatient rehabilitation facilities are paid solely on the basis of the IRF-PPS payment rate.
     Although the IRF-PPS regulations did not change the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as an inpatient rehabilitation facility, CMS adopted a separate final rule on May 7, 2004 that made significant changes to those criteria. The new inpatient rehabilitation facility certification criteria became effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2004.
     Under the historic IRF certification criteria that had been in effect since 1983, in order to qualify as an IRF, a hospital was required to satisfy certain operational criteria as well as demonstrate that, during its most recent 12-month cost reporting period, it served an inpatient population of whom at least 75% required intensive rehabilitation services for one or more of ten conditions specified in regulation (referred to as the “75% test”). In 2002, CMS became aware that its various contractors were using inconsistent methods to assess compliance with the 75% test and that the percentage of inpatient rehabilitation facilities in compliance with the 75% test might be low. In response, in June 2002, CMS suspended enforcement of the 75% test and, on September 9, 2003, proposed modifications to the regulatory standards for certification as an inpatient rehabilitation facility. In addition, during 2003, several CMS contractors, including the contractor overseeing our inpatient rehabilitation facilities, promulgated draft local medical review policies that would change the guidelines used to determine the medical necessity for inpatient rehabilitation care.

     Notwithstanding concerns stated by the industry and Congress in late 2003 and early 2004 about the adverse impact that CMS’s proposed changes and renewed enforcement efforts might have on access to inpatient rehabilitation facility services, and notwithstanding Congressional requests that CMS delay implementation of or changes to the 75% test for additional study of clinically appropriate certification criteria, CMS adopted four major changes to the 75% test in its May 7, 2004 final rule. First, CMS temporarily lowered the 75% compliance threshold, as follows: (i) 50% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2004 and before July 1, 2005; (ii) 60% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2005 and before July 1, 2006; (iii) 65% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007; and (iv) 75% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007. Second, CMS modified and expanded from 10 to 13 the medical conditions used to determine whether a hospital qualifies as an inpatient rehabilitation facility. Third, the agency finalized the conditions under which comorbidities can be used to verify compliance with the 75% test. Fourth, CMS changed the timeframe used to determine compliance with the 75% test from “the most recent 12-month cost reporting period” to “the most recent, consecutive, and appropriate 12-month period,” with the result that a determination of non-compliance with the applicable compliance threshold will affect the facility’s certification for its cost reporting period that begins immediately after the 12-month review period.
     Congress temporarily suspended CMS enforcement of the 75% test under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, enacted on December 8, 2004. The Act required the Secretary of Health and Human Services to respond within 60 days to a study by the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, on the standards for defining inpatient rehabilitation services before the Secretary may use funds appropriated under the Act to redesignate as a general acute care hospital any hospital that was certified as an inpatient rehabilitation facility on or before June 30, 2004 as a result of the hospital’s failure to meet the 75% test. The GAO issued its study on April 22, 2005, and recommended that CMS, based on further research, refine the 75% test to describe more thoroughly the subgroups of patients within the qualifying conditions that are appropriate for care in an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The Secretary issued a formal response to the GAO study on June 24, 2005, in which it concluded that the revised inpatient rehabilitation facility certification standards, including the 75% test, were not inconsistent with the recommendations in the GAO report. In light of this determination, the Secretary announced that CMS would immediately begin enforcement of the revised certification standards.
     Subsequently, under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, enacted on February 8, 2006, Congress extended the phase-in period for the 75% test by maintaining the compliance threshold at 60% (rather than increasing it to 65%) during the 12-month period beginning on July 1, 2006. The compliance threshold then increases to 65% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and again to 75% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008. The regulatory text was revised accordingly in the final rule updating the prospective payment rates for fiscal year 2007, as published by CMS on August 18, 2006. During the years while the new standard is being phased-in, it will be necessary for us to reassess and change our inpatient admissions standards. Such changes may include more restrictive admissions policies. Stricter admissions standards may result in reduced patient volumes at our inpatient rehabilitation facilities, which, in turn, may result in lower net operating revenues and profitability for these operations. In the August 2006 final rule updating IRF-PPS, CMS also reduced the standard payment amount by 2.6% and updated the outlier threshold for fiscal year 2007 to $5,534.
     Outpatient rehabilitation services Medicare reimbursement. We provide the majority of our outpatient rehabilitation services in our rehabilitation clinics. Through our contract services agreements, we also provide outpatient rehabilitation services in schools, physician directed clinics, worksites, assisted living centers and senior care centers, hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.
     Most of our outpatient rehabilitation services are provided in rehabilitation agencies and through our inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
     Prior to January 1, 1999, outpatient therapy services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology, were reimbursed on the basis of the lower of 90% of reasonable

costs or actual charges. Beginning on January 1, 1999, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the “BBA”) required that outpatient therapy services be reimbursed on a fee schedule, subject to annual limits. Outpatient therapy providers receive a fixed fee for each procedure performed, which is adjusted by the geographical area in which the facility is located.
     The BBA also imposed annual per Medicare beneficiary caps beginning January 1, 1999 that limited Medicare coverage to $1,500 for outpatient rehabilitation services (including both physical therapy and speech-language pathology services) and $1,500 for outpatient occupational health services, including deductible and coinsurance amounts. The caps were to be increased beginning in 2002 by application of an inflation index. Subsequent legislation imposed a moratorium on the application of these limits for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. With the expiration of the moratorium, CMS implemented the caps beginning on September 1, 2003. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act re-imposed the moratorium on the application of the therapy caps from the date of enactment (December 8, 2003) through December 31, 2005. Congress allowed the therapy caps to go back into effect on January 1, 2006. The inflation adjusted caps were $1,740 in 2006 and are $1,780 in 2007. As directed by Congress in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, CMS has implemented an exceptions process for therapy expenses incurred in 2006. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) was able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions were available automatically for certain conditions and on a case-by-case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 extends the therapy cap exception process through 2007.
     Historically, outpatient rehabilitation services have been subject to scrutiny by the Medicare program for, among other things, medical necessity for services, appropriate documentation for services, supervision of therapy aides and students and billing for group therapy. CMS has issued guidance to clarify that services performed by a student are not reimbursed even if provided under “line of sight” supervision of the therapist. Likewise, CMS has reiterated that Medicare does not pay for services provided by aides regardless of the level of supervision. CMS also has issued instructions that outpatient physical and occupational therapy services provided simultaneously to two or more individuals by a practitioner should be billed as group therapy services.
     Payment for rehabilitation services furnished to patients of skilled nursing facilities has been affected by the establishment of a Medicare prospective payment system and consolidated billing requirement for skilled nursing facilities. The resulting pressure on skilled nursing facilities to reduce their costs by negotiating lower payments to therapy providers, such as our contract therapy services, and the inability of the therapy providers to bill the Medicare program directly for their services have tended to reduce the amounts that rehabilitation providers can receive for services furnished to many skilled nursing facility residents.
     Specialty hospital Medicaid reimbursement. The Medicaid program is designed to provide medical assistance to individuals unable to afford care. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and administered and funded jointly by each individual state government and CMS. Medicaid payments are made under a number of different systems, which include cost based reimbursement, prospective payment systems or programs that negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals. In addition, Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy by the state agencies and certain government funding limitations, all of which may increase or decrease the level of program payments to our hospitals. Medicaid payments accounted for approximately 2% of our specialty hospital net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     Workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation programs accounted for approximately 22% of our net operating revenue from outpatient rehabilitation services for the year ended December 31, 2006. Workers’ compensation is a state mandated, comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to

- 17 -


Table of Contents

fund or insure medical expenses, lost wages and other costs resulting from work related injuries and illnesses. Workers’ compensation benefits and arrangements vary on a state-by-state basis and are often highly complex. In some states, payment for services covered by workers’ compensation programs are subject to cost containment features, such as requirements that all workers’ compensation injuries be treated through a managed care program, or the imposition of payment caps. In addition, these workers’ compensation programs may impose requirements that affect the operations of our outpatient rehabilitation services.
Other Healthcare Regulations
     Fraud and abuse enforcement. Various federal and state laws prohibit the submission of false or fraudulent claims, including claims to obtain payment under Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs. Penalties for violation of these laws include civil and criminal fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs. In recent years, federal and state government agencies have increased the level of enforcement resources and activities targeted at the healthcare industry. In addition, the federal False Claims Act and similar state statutes allow individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the government, in what are known as qui tam or “whistleblower” actions, alleging false or fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims or other violations of the statute. The use of these private enforcement actions against healthcare providers has increased dramatically in the recent past, in part because the individual filing the initial complaint is entitled to share in a portion of any settlement or judgment. See “Legal Proceedings — Other Legal Proceedings.”
     From time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, issue a variety of pronouncements, including fraud alerts, the Office of Inspector General’s Annual Work Plan and other reports, identifying practices that may be subject to heightened scrutiny. These pronouncements can identify issues relating to long-term acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities or outpatient rehabilitation services or providers. For example, the Office of Inspector General’s 2005 Work Plan describes plans to study whether patients in long-term acute care hospitals are receiving acute-level services or could be cared for in skilled nursing facilities. The 2006 and 2007 Work Plans describe plans: (i) to study the accuracy of Medicare payment for inpatient rehabilitation stays when patient assessments are entered later than the required deadlines, (ii) to study both inpatient rehabilitation facility and long-term acute care hospital payments in order to determine whether they were made in accordance with applicable regulations, including policies on outlier payments and interrupted stays, and (iii) to study physical and occupational therapy claims in order to determine whether the services were medically necessary, adequately documented and certified. The 2007 Work Plan describes plans to study the extent to which long-term acute care hospitals admit patients from a sole general acute care hospital and whether hospitals currently reimbursed under LTCH-PPS are in compliance with the average length of stay criteria. We monitor government publications applicable to us and focus a portion of our compliance efforts towards these areas targeted for enforcement.
     We endeavor to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable laws, including healthcare fraud and abuse laws. If we identify any practices as being potentially contrary to applicable law, we will take appropriate action to address the matter, including, where appropriate, disclosure to the proper authorities, which may result in a voluntary refund of monies to Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental health care programs.
     Remuneration and fraud measures. The federal “anti-kickback” statute prohibits some business practices and relationships under Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. These practices include the payment, receipt, offer or solicitation of remuneration in connection with, to induce, or to arrange for, the referral of patients covered by a federal or state healthcare program. Violations of the anti-kickback law may be punished by a criminal fine of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for each violation, or both, civil monetary penalties of $50,000 and damages of up to three times the total amount of remuneration, and exclusion from participation in federal or state healthcare programs.

     Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, commonly known as the “Stark Law,” prohibits referrals for designated health services by physicians under the Medicare and Medicaid programs to other healthcare providers in which the physicians have an ownership or compensation arrangement unless an exception applies. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per prohibited service provided, assessments equal to three times the dollar value of each such service provided and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare programs. The statute also provides a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme. In addition, many states have adopted or may adopt similar anti-kickback or anti-self-referral statutes. Some of these statutes prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration for the referral of patients, regardless of the source of the payment for the care.
     Provider-based status. The designation “provider-based” refers to circumstances in which a subordinate facility (e.g., a separately certified Medicare provider, a department of a provider or a satellite facility) is treated as part of a provider for Medicare payment purposes. In these cases, the services of the subordinate facility are included on the “main” provider’s cost report and overhead costs of the main provider can be allocated to the subordinate facility, to the extent that they are shared. We operate 15 specialty hospitals that are treated as provider-based satellites of certain of our other facilities, certain of our outpatient rehabilitation services are operated as departments of our inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and we provide rehabilitation management and staffing services to hospital rehabilitation departments that may be treated as provider-based. These facilities are required to satisfy certain operational standards in order to retain their provider-based status.
     Health information practices. In addition to broadening the scope of the fraud and abuse laws, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA, also mandates, among other things, the adoption of standards for the exchange of electronic health information in an effort to encourage overall administrative simplification and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare industry. If we fail to comply with the standards, we could be subject to criminal penalties and civil sanctions. Among the standards that the Department of Health and Human Services has adopted or will adopt pursuant to HIPAA are standards for electronic transactions and code sets, unique identifiers for providers (referred to as National Provider Identifier or NPI), employers, health plans and individuals, security and electronic signatures, privacy and enforcement.
     The Department of Health and Human Services has adopted standards in three areas that most affect our operations.
     Standards relating to the privacy of individually identifiable health information govern our use and disclosure of protected health information, and require us to impose those rules, by contract, on any business associate to whom such information is disclosed. We were required to comply with these standards by April 14, 2003.
     Standards relating to electronic transactions and code sets require the use of uniform standards for common healthcare transactions, including healthcare claims information, plan eligibility, referral certification and authorization, claims status, plan enrollment and disenrollment, payment and remittance advice, plan premium payments and coordination of benefits. We were required to comply with these requirements by October 16, 2003.
     Standards for the security of electronic health information require us to implement various administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of electronic protected health information. We were required to comply with these security standards by April 20, 2005.
     The NPI will replace health care provider identifiers that are in use today in standard transactions. Implementation of the NPI will eliminate the need for health care providers to use different identification

- 19 -


Table of Contents

numbers to identify themselves when conducting standard transactions with multiple health plans. We are required to comply with the use of NPIs in standard transactions by May 23, 2007.
     We maintain a HIPAA committee that is charged with evaluating and monitoring our compliance with HIPAA. The HIPPA committee monitors HIPAA’s regulations as they have been adopted to date and as additional standards and modifications are adopted. Although health information standards have had a significant effect on the manner in which we handle health data and communicate with payors, the cost of our compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot estimate the cost of compliance with standards that have not been issued or finalized by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Compliance Program
Our Compliance Program
     In late 1998, we voluntarily adopted our code of conduct. The code is reviewed and amended as necessary and is the basis for our company-wide compliance program. Our written code of conduct provides guidelines for principles and regulatory rules that are applicable to our patient care and business activities. These guidelines are implemented by a compliance officer, a compliance committee, and employee education and training. We also have established a reporting system, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system as a means for enforcing the code’s policies.
Operating Our Compliance Program
     We focus on integrating compliance responsibilities with operational functions. We recognize that our compliance with applicable laws and regulations depends upon individual employee actions as well as company operations. As a result, we have adopted an operations team approach to compliance. Our corporate executives, with the assistance of corporate experts, designed the programs of the compliance committee. We utilize facility leaders for employee-level implementation of our code of conduct. This approach is intended to reinforce our company-wide commitment to operate in accordance with the laws and regulations that govern our business.
Compliance Committee
     Our compliance committee is made up of members of our senior management and in-house counsel. The compliance committee meets on a quarterly basis and reviews the activities, reports and operation of our compliance program. In addition, the HIPAA committee meets on a regular basis to review compliance with HIPAA regulations and provides reports to the compliance committee.
Compliance Issue Reporting
     In order to facilitate our employees’ ability to report known, suspected or potential violations of our code of conduct, we have developed a system of anonymous reporting. This anonymous reporting may be accomplished through our toll free compliance hotline, compliance e-mail address or our compliance post office box. The compliance officer and the compliance committee are responsible for reviewing and investigating each compliance incident in accordance with the compliance department’s investigation policy.
Compliance Monitoring and Auditing / Comprehensive Training and Education
     Monitoring reports and the results of compliance for each of our business segments are reported to the compliance committee on a quarterly basis. We train and educate our employees regarding the code of conduct, as well as the legal and regulatory requirements relevant to each employee’s work environment. New and current employees are required to sign a compliance certification form certifying

- 20 -


Table of Contents

that the employee has read, understood and has agreed to abide by the code of conduct. Additionally, all employees are required to re-certify compliance with the code on an annual basis.
Policies and Procedures Reflecting Compliance Focus Areas
     We review our policies and procedures for our compliance program from time to time in order to improve operations and to ensure compliance with requirements of standards, laws and regulations and to reflect the on-going compliance focus areas which have been identified by the compliance committee.
Internal Audit
     In addition to and in support of the efforts of our compliance department, during 2001 we established an internal audit function. The compliance officer manages the combined Compliance and Audit Department and meets with the audit committee of the board of directors on a quarterly basis to discuss audit results.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     Our business involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. The risk and uncertainties we describe below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not currently know or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.
     Compliance with changes in federal regulations applicable to long-term acute care hospitals operated as “hospitals within hospitals” or as “satellites” will result in increased capital expenditures and may have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     On August 11, 2004, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, also known as CMS, published final regulations applicable to long-term acute care hospitals that are operated as “hospitals within hospitals” or as “satellites” (collectively referred to as “HIHs”). HIHs are separate hospitals located in space leased from, and located in or on the same campus of, general acute care hospitals, known as “host” hospitals. Effective for hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, the final regulations, subject to certain exceptions, provide lower rates of reimbursement to HIHs for those Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals that are in excess of a specified percentage threshold. For HIHs opened after October 1, 2004, the Medicare admissions threshold has been established at 25%. For HIHs that meet specified criteria and were in existence as of October 1, 2004, including all but two of our then existing HIHs, the Medicare admissions thresholds are phased-in over a four-year period starting with hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, as follows: (i) for discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2004 and before October 1, 2005, the Medicare admissions threshold was the Fiscal 2004 Percentage (as defined below) of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital; (ii) for discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2005 and before October 1, 2006, the Medicare admissions threshold is the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 75%; (iii) for discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2006 and before October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 50%; and (iv) for discharges during cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is 25%. As used above, “Fiscal 2004 Percentage” means, with respect to any HIH, the percentage of all Medicare patients discharged by such HIH during its cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2003 and before October 1, 2004 who were admitted to such HIH from its host hospital, but in no event is the Fiscal 2004 Percentage less than 25%. At December 31, 2006, 79 of our 92 long-term acute care hospitals operated as HIHs.

     During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a liability of approximately $4.6 million related to estimated repayments to Medicare for host admissions exceeding an HIH hospital’s threshold. The liability has been recorded through a reduction in our net revenue. Because these rules are complex and are based on the volume of Medicare admissions from our host hospitals as a percent of our overall Medicare admissions, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on our future net operating revenues of compliance with these regulations. However, we expect the financial impact to increase as the Medicare admissions thresholds decline during the phase-in of the regulations.
     In order to minimize the impact of the HIH regulations, we have developed and are currently implementing a business plan and strategy in each of our markets to adapt to the HIH admission regulations. Our transition plan includes managing admissions at existing HIHs, relocating certain HIHs to leased spaces in smaller host hospitals in the same markets, consolidating HIHs in certain of our markets, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying free-standing facilities and closing some of our facilities. There can be no assurance that we can successfully implement such changes to our existing HIH business model or successfully control the capital expenditures associated with such changes. As a result, our ability to operate our long-term acute care hospitals effectively and our net operating revenues and profitably may be adversely affected. For example, because physicians generally direct the majority of hospital admissions, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline if the relocation efforts for certain of our HIHs adversely affect our relationships with the physicians in those communities. In addition, if CMS implements the February 2007 proposed additional regulatory changes regarding admissions to long-term acute care hospitals, our plan will have to be revised.
     Government implementation of recent changes to Medicare’s method of reimbursing our long-term acute care hospitals will reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     All Medicare payments to our long-term acute care hospitals are made in accordance with a prospective payment system specifically applicable to long-term acute care hospitals, referred to as “LTCH-PPS.” Under LTCH-PPS, a long-term acute care hospital is paid a pre-determined fixed amount depending upon the long-term care diagnosis-related group, or “LTC-DRG,” to which each patient is assigned. LTCH-PPS includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on a variety of factors. On May 2, 2006, CMS released its final annual payment rate updates for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007). The May 2006 final rule makes several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts.
     For discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the rule changes the payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for each LTC-DRG (referred to as “short-stay outlier” or “SSO” cases). Previously, payment for these patients was based on the lesser of (1) 120 percent of the cost of the case; (2) 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient’s length of stay; or (3) the full LTC-DRG payment. The final rule modifies the limitation in clause (1) above to reduce payment for SSO cases to 100 percent (rather than 120 percent) of the cost of the case. The final rule also adds a fourth limitation, capping payment for SSO cases at a per diem rate derived from blending 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital inpatient prospective payment system (“IPPS”). Under this methodology, as a patient’s length of stay increases, the percentage of the per diem amount based upon the IPPS component will decrease and the percentage based on the LTC-DRG component will increase.
     In its February 2007 proposed rule, CMS also stated that it was considering a new limitation for short-stay outlier cases. Specifically, CMS stated that it was considering an approach by which payment for each short-stay outlier case having a length of stay that is shorter than an “IPPS Comparable Threshold” would be limited to a per diem amount comparable to the per diem payment under IPPS for

- 22 -


Table of Contents

the same DRG. The IPPS Comparable Threshold would be the average length of stay in a general acute care hospital plus one standard deviation for the same DRG.
     In addition, for discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the May 2006 final rule provides for (i) a zero-percent update for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year to the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate used as a basis for LTCH-PPS payments; (ii) the elimination of the surgical case exception to the three-day or less interruption of stay policy, under which surgical exception Medicare reimburses a general acute care hospital directly for surgical services furnished to a long-term acute care hospital patient during a brief interruption of stay from the long-term acute care hospital, rather than requiring the long-term acute care hospital to bear responsibility for such surgical services; and (iii) increasing the costs that a long-term acute care hospital must bear before Medicare will make additional payments for a case under its high-cost outlier policy for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year.
     CMS estimated that the changes in the May 2006 final rule will result in an approximately 3.7 percent decrease in LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge as compared to the 2006 rate year, largely attributable to the revised SSO payment methodology. Based upon our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues, we expect that the May 2006 final rule will reduce Medicare revenues associated with SSO cases and high-cost outlier cases to our long-term acute care hospitals by approximately $30.0 million on an annual basis. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we estimate the reduction in Medicare payment for discharges occurring since the implementation of the May 2006 rule change on July 1, 2006 approximated $14.0 million. Additionally, had CMS updated the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate by the 2007 estimated market basket index of 3.4 percent rather than applying the zero-percent update, we estimate that we would have received approximately $31.0 million in additional annual Medicare revenues, based on our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues (such revenues would have been paid to our hospitals for discharges beginning on or after July 1, 2006).
     On August 18, 2006, CMS published the IPPS final rule for fiscal year 2007, which included an update of the LTC-DRG relative weights for fiscal year 2007. In addition to other reductions in payments, CMS estimates the changes to the relative weights in the August 2006 final rule will reduce LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge by approximately 1.3 percent in fiscal year 2007. See “Business — Specialty Hospitals — Recent Long-Term Acute Care Hospital Regulatory Developments” and “Business — Government Regulations — Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements — Long-term acute care hospital Medicare reimbursement.”
     If our long-term acute care hospitals fail to maintain their certifications as long-term acute care hospitals or if our facilities operated as HIHs fail to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.
     As of December 31, 2006, 89 of our 92 long-term acute care hospitals were certified by Medicare as long-term acute care hospitals, and three more were in the process of becoming certified as Medicare long-term acute care hospitals. If our long-term acute care hospitals fail to meet or maintain the standards for certification as long-term acute care hospitals, namely minimum average length of patient stay, they will receive payments under the prospective payment system applicable to general acute care hospitals rather than payment under the system applicable to long-term acute care hospitals. Payments at rates applicable to general acute care hospitals would result in our long-term acute care hospitals receiving less Medicare reimbursement than they currently receive for their patient services.
     In its preamble to the May 2006 final rule updating the long-term acute care Medicare prospective payment system, CMS discussed the contract that it has awarded to Research Triangle Institute, International, or RTI, to examine recommendations made by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, or MedPAC, concerning how long-term acute care hospitals are defined and differentiated from other types of Medicare providers. MedPAC is an independent federal body that advises Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. In its June 2004 “Report to Congress,” MedPAC recommended the adoption by CMS of new facility staffing and services criteria and patient clinical characteristics and

Table of Contents

treatment requirements for long-term acute care hospitals in order to ensure that only appropriate patients are admitted to these facilities. RTI’s January 2007 Phase II report entitled “Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH) Payment System Monitoring and Evaluation” was delivered to CMS. While acknowledging that RTI’s findings are expected to have a substantial impact on future Medicare policy for long-term acute care hospitals, CMS previously stated in the May 2006 final rule that many of the specific payment adjustment features of LTCH-PPS presently in place may still be necessary and appropriate even with the development of patient- and facility-level criteria for long-term acute care hospitals. In the February 2007 proposed rule, CMS acknowledged that RTI’s recommendations would require further study and, in some instances, action by Congress in order to accomplish certain recommendations. RTI has solicited on-going involvement of physicians familiar with LTCH type patients for participation in a technical expert panel to further develop its recommendations. Failure to meet existing long-term acute care certification criteria or implementation of additional criteria that would limit the population of patients eligible for our hospitals’ services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenues and profitability.
     At December 31, 2006, 79 of our 92 long-term acute care hospitals operate as HIHs and as a result are subject to additional Medicare criteria that require certain indications of separateness from the host hospital. If any of our long-term acute care HIHs fail to meet the separateness requirements, they will be reimbursed at the lower general acute care IPPS rate, which would cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decrease. See “Business — Government Regulations — Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements — Long-term acute care hospital Medicare reimbursement.”
     Implementation of modifications to the admissions policies for our inpatient rehabilitation facilities as required in order to achieve compliance with Medicare regulations may result in a loss of patient volume at these hospitals and, as a result, may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     As of December 31, 2006, our four acute medical rehabilitation hospitals were certified by Medicare as inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Under the historic inpatient rehabilitation facility, or IRF, certification criteria that had been in effect since 1983, in order to qualify as an IRF, a hospital was required to satisfy certain operational criteria as well as demonstrate that, during its most recent 12-month cost reporting period, it served an inpatient population of whom at least 75% required intensive rehabilitation services for one or more of ten conditions specified in the regulations (referred to as the “75% test”). In 2002, CMS became aware that its various contractors were using inconsistent methods to assess compliance with the 75% test and that many inpatient rehabilitation facilities were not in compliance with the 75% test. In response, in June 2002, CMS suspended enforcement of the 75% test and, on September 9, 2003, proposed modifications to the regulatory standards for certification as an IRF. Notwithstanding concerns stated by the industry and Congress in late 2003 and early 2004 about the adverse impact that CMS’s proposed changes and renewed enforcement efforts might have on access to inpatient rehabilitation facility services, and notwithstanding Congressional requests that CMS delay implementation of or changes to the 75% test for additional study of clinically appropriate certification criteria, on May 7, 2004, CMS adopted a final rule that made significant changes to the certification standard. CMS temporarily lowered the 75% compliance threshold to 50%, with a gradual increase back to 75% over the course of a four-year period. CMS also expanded from 10 to 13 the number of medical conditions used to determine compliance with the 75% test (or any phase-in percentage) and finalized the conditions under which comorbidities may be used to satisfy the 75% test. Finally, CMS changed the timeframe used to determine a provider’s compliance with the inpatient rehabilitation facility criteria including the 75% test so that any changes in a facility’s certification based on compliance with the 75% test may be made effective in the cost reporting period immediately following the review period for determining compliance. Congress temporarily suspended enforcement of the 75% test when it enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, which required the Secretary of Health and Human Services to respond within 60 days to a report by the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, on the standards for defining inpatient rehabilitation services before the Secretary may terminate a hospital’s designation

as an inpatient rehabilitation facility for failure to meet the 75% test. The GAO issued its report on April 22, 2005, and recommended that CMS, based on further research, refine the 75% test to describe more thoroughly the subgroups of patients within the qualifying conditions that are appropriate for care in an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The Secretary issued a formal response to the GAO study on June 24, 2005, in which it concluded that the revised inpatient rehabilitation facility certification standards, including the 75% test, were consistent with the recommendations in the GAO report. In light of this determination, the Secretary announced that CMS would immediately begin enforcement of the revised certification standards.
     Subsequently, under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, enacted on February 8, 2006, Congress extended the phase-in period for the 75% test by maintaining the compliance threshold at 60% (rather than increasing it to 65%) during the 12-month period beginning on July 1, 2006. The compliance threshold then increases to 65% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and again to 75% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008.
     The inpatient rehabilitation facilities we acquired as part of our Kessler acquisition in September 2003 may not have fully met the historic standard. In order to achieve compliance with the revised 75% test, it may be necessary for us to implement more restrictive admissions policies at our inpatient rehabilitation facilities and not admit patients whose diagnoses fall outside the specified conditions. Such policies may result in decreased patient volumes, which could have a negative effect on the financial performance of these facilities. See “Business — Government Regulations — Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements — Inpatient rehabilitation facility Medicare reimbursement.”
     Implementation of annual caps that limit the amounts that can be paid for outpatient therapy services rendered to any Medicare beneficiary may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics receive payments from the Medicare program under a fee schedule. Congress has established annual caps that limit the amounts that can be paid (including deductible and coinsurance amounts) for outpatient therapy services rendered to any Medicare beneficiary. These annual caps were to go into effect on January 1, 1999; however, after their adoption, Congress imposed a moratorium on the caps through 2002, and then re-imposed the moratorium for 2004 and 2005. Congress allowed the therapy caps to go back into effect on January 1, 2006. The inflation adjusted caps were $1,740 in 2006 and are $1,780 in 2007. As directed by Congress in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, CMS has implemented an exception process for therapy expenses incurred in 2006. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) was able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions were available automatically for certain conditions and on a case-by-case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 extends the therapy cap exception process through 2007.
     We believe these therapy caps could have an adverse effect on the net operating revenues we generate from providing outpatient rehabilitation services to Medicare beneficiaries, to the extent that such patients receive services for which total payments would exceed the annual caps. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we received approximately 8% of our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues from Medicare. See “Business — Government Regulations — Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements — Outpatient rehabilitation services Medicare reimbursement.”
     If there are changes in the rates or methods of government reimbursements for our services, our net operating revenues and profitability could decline.
     Approximately 53% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 came from the highly regulated federal Medicare program. In recent years, through legislative and regulatory actions, the federal government has made substantial changes to various payment systems under the

- 25 -


Table of Contents

Medicare program. Additional changes to these payment systems, including modifications to the conditions on qualification for payment and the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers, may be proposed or could be adopted, either in Congress or by CMS. Because of the possibility of adoption of changes in applicable regulations, the availability, methods and rates of Medicare reimbursements for services of the type furnished at our facilities could change at any time. Some of these changes and proposed changes could adversely affect our business strategy, operations and financial results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any increases in Medicare reimbursement rates established by CMS will fully reflect increases in our operating costs.
     If the February 2007 proposed rule is adopted as proposed, several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts will be implemented during RY 2008 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and before July 1, 2008). The final rule, which may differ from the proposed rule, is expected to be published in May of 2007. Compliance with the final rule and any changes to LTCH-PPS may have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     For cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007, the February 2007 proposed rule would expand the current Medicare HIH admissions threshold to apply to Medicare patients admitted from any individual hospital. (Currently, the admissions threshold is applicable only to Medicare HIH admissions from hospitals co-located with a LTCH or satellite of an LTCH.) If the proposed rule is adopted, free-standing LTCHs and grandfathered LTCH HIHs would be subject to the Medicare admission threshold, as well as HIHs and satellites that admit Medicare patients from non-co-located hospitals. To the extent that any LTCH’s or LTCH satellite facility’s discharges that are admitted from an individual hospital (regardless of whether the referring hospital is co-located with the LTCH or LTCH satellite) exceed 25% or the applicable percentage threshold during a particular cost reporting period, the payment rate for those discharges would be subject to a downward payment adjustment. The percentage threshold for long-term acute care hospital discharges from a referring hospital that is an “MSA-dominant” hospital or a single urban hospital would be the percentage of total Medicare discharges in the metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) that are from the referring hospital, but no less than 25% nor more than 50%. For Medicare discharges from LTCHs or LTCH satellites located in rural areas, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget, the percentage threshold would be 50% from any individual referring hospital. Cases admitted in excess of the applicable threshold would be reimbursed at a rate comparable to the general acute care IPPS. Cases that reach outlier status in the discharging hospital would not count toward the limit and would be paid under LTCH-PPS. CMS estimates the impact of the expansion of the Medicare admission threshold would result in a reduction of 2.2% of the aggregate payments to all LTCHs in RY 2008.
     If the February 2007 proposed rule is adopted, existing free-standing LTCHs and grandfathered LTCH HIHs would be subject to an abbreviated phase-in. For a cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and before October 1, 2007, the applicable percentage threshold would be the lesser of LTCH or LTCH satellite’s Medicare discharges admitted from the referring hospital during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2004 and before October 1, 2005 or 50%. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007, the applicable percentage threshold would be 25%. The same abbreviated phase-in would apply to Medicare discharges of HIHs and satellites that were admitted from a non-co-located hospital. Of the 92 long-term acute care hospitals we operated as of December 31, 2006, 13 were operated as free-standing facilities and two qualified as grandfathered LTCH HIHs. If adopted, the February 2007 proposed rule may adversely affect our plan to relocate certain facilities to free-standing locations and could adversely effect our net operating revenues and profitability.

     We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our net operating revenues and profitability.
     The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to:
    facility and professional licensure, including certificates of need;
 
    conduct of operations, including financial relationships among healthcare providers, Medicare fraud and abuse, and physician self-referral;
 
    addition of facilities and services and enrollment of newly developed facilities in the Medicare program;
 
    payment for services; and
 
    safeguarding protected health information.
     Recently, there have been heightened coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts by both federal and state government agencies relating to the healthcare industry. The ongoing investigations relate to, among other things, various referral practices, cost reporting, billing practices, physician ownership and joint ventures involving hospitals. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject our current practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services and capital expenditure programs, increase our operating expenses and reduce our operating revenues. If we fail to comply with these extensive laws and government regulations, we could become ineligible to receive government program reimbursement, suffer civil or criminal penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations. In addition, we could be forced to expend considerable resources responding to an investigation or other enforcement action under these laws or regulations. See “Business — Government Regulations.”
     Future acquisitions may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.
     As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and other related health care facilities and services, such as our pending acquisition of HealthSouth’s outpatient rehabilitation division. These acquisitions may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:
    the difficulty and expense of integrating acquired personnel into our business;
 
    diversion of management’s time from existing operations;
 
    potential loss of key employees or customers of acquired companies; and
 
    assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare regulations.
     We cannot assure you that we will succeed in obtaining financing for acquisitions at a reasonable cost, or that such financing will not contain restrictive covenants that limit our operating flexibility. We

also may be unable to operate acquired hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics profitably or succeed in achieving improvements in their financial performance.
     Future cost containment initiatives undertaken by private third-party payors may limit our future net operating revenues and profitability.
     Initiatives undertaken by major insurers and managed care companies to contain healthcare costs affect the profitability of our specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics. These payors attempt to control healthcare costs by contracting with hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain services on a discounted basis. We believe that this trend may continue and may limit reimbursements for healthcare services. If insurers or managed care companies from whom we receive substantial payments reduce the amounts they pay for services, our profit margins may decline, or we may lose patients if we choose not to renew our contracts with these insurers at lower rates.
     If we fail to maintain established relationships with the physicians in our markets, our net operating revenues may decrease.
     Our success is, in part, dependent upon the admissions and referral practices of the physicians in the communities our hospitals and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics serve, and our ability to maintain good relations with these physicians. Physicians referring patients to our hospitals and clinics are generally not our employees and, in many of the markets that we serve, most physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals and are free to refer their patients to other providers. If we are unable to successfully cultivate and maintain strong relationships with these physicians, our hospitals’ admissions and clinics’ businesses may decrease, and our net operating revenues may decline.
     Shortages in qualified nurses or therapists could increase our operating costs significantly.
     Our specialty hospitals are highly dependent on nurses for patient care and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics are highly dependant on therapists for patient care. The availability of qualified nurses and therapists nationwide has declined in recent years, and the salaries for nurses and therapists have risen accordingly. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract and retain qualified nurses or therapists in the future. Additionally, the cost of attracting and retaining nurses and therapists may be higher than we anticipate, and as a result, our profitability could decline.
     Competition may limit our ability to acquire hospitals and clinics and adversely affect our growth.
     We have historically faced limited competition in acquiring specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics, but we may face heightened competition in the future. Our competitors may acquire or seek to acquire many of the hospitals and clinics that would be suitable acquisition candidates for us. In addition, in recent years we have experienced increased competition for hospitals and clinics that would be suitable acquisition candidates for us from financial buyers. This increased competition could hamper our ability to acquire companies because we are outbid, or such increased competition may cause us to pay a higher price than we would otherwise pay in a less competitive environment. Increased competition from both strategic and financial buyers could limit our ability to grow by acquisitions or make our cost of acquisitions higher and therefore decrease our profitability.
     If we fail to compete effectively with other hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.
     The healthcare business is highly competitive, and we compete with other hospitals, rehabilitation clinics and other healthcare providers for patients. If we are unable to compete effectively in the specialty hospital and outpatient rehabilitation businesses, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline. Many of our specialty hospitals operate in geographic areas where we compete with at least one other

- 28 -


Table of Contents

hospital that provides similar services. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face competition from a variety of local and national outpatient rehabilitation providers. Other outpatient rehabilitation clinics in markets we serve may have greater name recognition and longer operating histories than our clinics. The managers of these clinics may also have stronger relationships with physicians in their communities, which could give them a competitive advantage for patient referrals.
     Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.
     Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior officers and key employees, both individually and as a group. Our future performance will be substantially dependent in particular on our ability to retain and motivate four key employees, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio, Patricia A. Rice and Martin F. Jackson. We currently have an employment agreement in place with each of Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio and Ms. Rice and a change in control agreement with Mr. Jackson. Each of these individuals also has a significant equity ownership in Holdings. We have no reason to believe that we will lose the services of any of these individuals in the foreseeable future; however, we currently have no effective replacement for any of these individuals, due to their experience, reputation in the industry and special role in our operations. The loss of the services of any of these individuals would disrupt significant aspects of our business, could prevent us from successfully executing our business strategy and could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.
     Significant legal actions as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.
     In recent years, physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories. Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense costs. We are also subject to lawsuits under federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry. These whistleblower lawsuits are not covered by insurance and can involve significant monetary damages and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits.
     We maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of $30 million. Our insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis and our commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages are generally subject to a self-insured retention of $2 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2 million per occurrence for general liability claims. In recent years, many insurance underwriters have become more selective in the insurance limits and types of coverage they will provide as a result of rising settlement costs. In some instances, insurance underwriters will no longer underwrite risk in certain states that have a history of high medical malpractice awards. There can be no assurance that in the future, malpractice insurance will be available in certain states nor that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage at a reasonable price. Since our professional liability insurance is on a claims-made basis, any failure to obtain malpractice insurance in any state in the future would increase our exposure not only to claims arising in the future in such state but also to claims arising from injuries that may have already occurred but which had not been reported during the period in which we previously had insurance coverage in that state. In addition, our insurance coverage does not cover punitive damages and may not cover all claims against us. See “Business — Government Regulations — Other Healthcare Regulations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Medical and Professional Malpractice Insurance.”

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     On August 24, 2004, Clifford C. Marsden and Ming Xu filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of the public stockholders of the Company against Martin F. Jackson, Robert A. Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Patricia

- 32 -


Table of Contents

A. Rice and the Company. In February 2005, the Court appointed James Shaver, Frank C. Bagatta and Capital Invest, die Kapitalanlagegesellschaft der Bank Austria Creditanstalt Gruppe GmbH as lead plaintiffs (“Lead Plaintiffs”).
     On April 19, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of Select, against Martin F. Jackson, Robert A. Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Patricia A. Rice and the Company as defendants. The amended complaint continues to allege, among other things, failure to disclose adverse information regarding a potential regulatory change affecting reimbursement for the Company’s services applicable to long-term acute care hospitals operated as hospitals within hospitals, failure to disclose alleged improper revenue practices, and the issuance of false and misleading statements about the financial outlook of Select. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, interest and attorneys’ fees. We believe that the allegations in the amended complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this action. In April 2006, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s and the individual officers’ preliminary motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In February 2007, the Court vacated in part its previous decision on the Company’s and the individual officers’ motion to dismiss and dismissed plaintiffs’ claims regarding the Company’s alleged improper revenue practices. The Company and the individual officers have answered the amended complaint and the case has moved to the discovery and class certification phase. We do not believe this claim will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, due to the uncertain nature of such litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
     We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business, which include malpractice claims covered under insurance policies. In our opinion, the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
     To cover claims arising out of the operations of our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, we maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance. We also maintain umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by our other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.
     Health care providers are often subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. A qui tam lawsuit against Select has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, but because the action is still under seal, we do not know the details of the allegations or the relief sought. As is required by law, the federal government is conducting an investigation of matters alleged by this complaint. We have received subpoenas for patient records and other documents apparently related to the federal government’s investigation. We believe that this investigation involves the billing practices of certain of its subsidiaries that provide outpatient services to beneficiaries of Medicare and other federal health care programs. The three relators in this qui tam lawsuit are two former employees of our Las Vegas, Nevada subsidiary who were terminated by Select in 2001 and a former employee of our Florida subsidiary who we asked to resign. Select sued the former Las Vegas employees in state court in Nevada in 2001 for, among other things, return of misappropriated funds, and our lawsuit has been transferred to the federal court in Las Vegas. While the government has investigated but chosen not to intervene in two previous qui tam lawsuits filed against the Company, we cannot provide assurance that the government will not intervene in the Nevada qui tam case or any other existing or future qui tam lawsuit against us. While litigation is inherently uncertain, we believe, based on our prior experiences

with qui tam cases and the limited information currently available to us, that this qui tam action will not have a material adverse effect on us.

     There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2006.
PART II
ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
     We are wholly-owned by Holdings, a privately owned corporation. There is no public trading market for our equity securities or for those of Holdings. As of December 31, 2006, there were 134 holders of Holdings’ common stock.
     Our senior secured credit facility contains customary restrictions on our ability, Holdings’ ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends.

For the period January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 (Predecessor period), the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have had to generate additional earnings of approximately $160.3 million to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1.
ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
     We are a leading operator of specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States. As of December 31, 2006, we operated 92 long-term acute care hospitals in 26 states, four acute medical rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as inpatient rehabilitation facilities, in New Jersey and 544 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 19 states, and the District of Columbia. We also provide medical rehabilitation services on a contract basis at nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and work sites. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership of our current management team.
     On February 24, 2005, we consummated a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings pursuant to which we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Holdings is owned by an investor group that includes Welsh Carson, Thoma Cressey and members of our senior management. As a result of the Merger, our assets and liabilities have been adjusted to their fair value as of the closing. We have also experienced an increase in our aggregate outstanding indebtedness as a result of the financing transactions associated with the Merger. Accordingly, our amortization expense and interest expense are higher in periods following the Merger. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of our tangible and identifiable intangible assets of $1.4 billion has been allocated to goodwill, which is the subject of an annual impairment test. In determining the total economic consideration to use for financial accounting purposes, we have applied guidance found in Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 88-16 “Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transactions.” This has resulted in a portion of the equity related to our continuing stockholders to be recorded at the stockholder’s predecessor basis and a corresponding portion of the acquired assets to be recorded likewise.
     Although the Predecessor and Successor results are not comparable by definition due to the Merger and the resulting change in basis, for ease of comparison in the following discussion and to assist the reader in understanding our operating performance and operating trends, the financial data for the period after the Merger, February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005 (Successor period), has been added to the financial data for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 (Predecessor period), to arrive at the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The combined data is referred to herein as the combined year ended December 31, 2005. As a result of the Merger, interest expense, loss on early retirement of debt, merger related charges, stock compensation expense, long-term incentive compensation, depreciation and amortization have been impacted. We believe this combined presentation is a reasonable means of presenting our operating results.
     We manage our Company through two business segments, our specialty hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. We had net operating revenues of $1,851.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Of this total, we earned approximately 75% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals and approximately 25% from our outpatient rehabilitation business for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Table of Contents

     Our specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long-term stay acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients in our long-term acute care hospitals typically suffer from serious and often complex medical conditions that require a high degree of care. Patients in our inpatient rehabilitation facilities typically suffer from debilitating injuries, including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, and require rehabilitation care in the form of physical and vocational rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation business consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living.
Recent Trends and Events
CBIL Sale
     On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary CBIL for approximately C$89.8 million in cash (US$79.0 million). At the time of the sale, CBIL operated 109 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in seven Canadian provinces and had approximately 1,000 employees. We conducted all of our Canadian operations through CBIL. The financial results of CBIL have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this report, and its assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale on our December 31, 2005 balance sheet. As a result of this transaction, we have recognized a gain on sale (net of tax) of $11.5 million in 2006.
Agreement to Purchase HealthSouth Corporation Outpatient Rehabilitation Division
     On January 27, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with HealthSouth Corporation (“HealthSouth”) pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire the outpatient rehabilitation division of HealthSouth for approximately $245.0 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the division’s net working capital on the closing date.
     The HealthSouth transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
Agreement to Purchase Nexus Health Systems, Inc.
      On March 26, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Nexus Health Systems, Inc. (“Nexus”), Neurobehavioral Management Services L.L.C., Nexus Health Inc. and the stockholders of Nexus Health Systems, Inc. to acquire substantially all of the assets of Nexus for approximately $49.0 million in cash plus the assumption of a capital lease. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on Nexus’s net working capital, cash and indebtedness on the closing date.
      The Nexus transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
Amendment to Credit Agreement
     On March 19, 2007, we entered into an Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to our senior secured credit facility and on March 28, 2007 we entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Amendment No. 2 increases our general exception to the prohibition on asset sales under our senior secured credit facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, relaxes certain financial covenants starting March 31, 2007 and waives our requirement to prepay certain term loan borrowings following our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Incremental Facility Amendment provides to us an incremental term loan of $100.0 million, the proceeds of which we intend to use to pay a portion of the purchase price for the HealthSouth transaction.
Year Ended December 31, 2006
     For the year ended December 31, 2006, our net operating revenues decreased 0.4% to $1,851.5 million compared to $1,858.4 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease in net operating revenues resulted from a 2.2% decrease in our outpatient rehabilitation net revenues offset by a 0.4% increase in our specialty hospital net operating revenue. The decline in our outpatient rehabilitation net revenues resulted from a decline in the number of clinics we operate and in the number of visits occurring at the operating clinics. We had income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $257.9 million compared to $119.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. For the combined year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred $152.5 million of stock compensation

costs as a result of the Merger and a non-recurring long-term incentive compensation payment of $14.5 million in September 2005. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $97.3 million compared to $88.4 million for the combined year end December 31, 2005. This increase resulted from higher interest rates experienced during the year ended December 31, 2006.
     Our cash flow from operations provided $260.2 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Combined Year Ended December 31, 2005
     On January 1, 2005, we acquired SemperCare for approximately $100.0 million in cash. SemperCare operated 17 long-term acute care HIH hospitals in 11 states.
     For the combined year ended December 31, 2005, our net operating revenues increased 16.0% to $1,858.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase in net operating revenues was principally attributable to our acquisition of SemperCare on January 1, 2005 and the growth in net operating revenues at our same store hospitals. This growth in net operating revenue was offset by a decline in our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues that resulted from a decline in the number of clinics we operate and in the volume of visits occurring at the clinics. We had income from operations for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 of $119.1 million compared to $222.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decline in income from operations was principally related to stock compensation costs of $152.5 million and a long-term incentive compensation payment of $14.5 million. For the combined year ended December 31, 2005, we also incurred a loss on early retirement of debt of $42.7 million related to the repayment of our 71/2% and 91/2% senior subordinated notes and other expenses related to the Merger of $12.0 million.
     Our cash flow from operations provided $64.1 million of cash for the combined year ended December 31, 2005, which includes $186.0 million in cash expenses related to the Merger.
Year Ended December 31, 2004
     In 2004, our net operating revenues increased 19.4%, income from operations increased 56.5%, and net income increased 58.7% over 2003. Our specialty hospital segment was the primary source of this growth. In our specialty hospital segment we experienced growth resulting from the addition of four inpatient rehabilitation facilities acquired through our September 2003 acquisition of Kessler Rehabilitation Corporation, growth from our hospitals opened in 2003 and 2004, and an increase in our revenue per patient day in our same store hospitals. Our outpatient segment experienced growth related primarily to the full year effect of the Kessler outpatient clinics in 2004. We also continued to experience significant cash flow from operations resulting from our growth in net income and a continued reduction in accounts receivable days outstanding.
Regulatory Changes
     August 2004 Final Rule. On August 11, 2004, CMS published final regulations applicable to long-term acute care hospitals that are operated as HIHs. Effective for hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, subject to certain exceptions, the final regulations provide lower rates of reimbursement to HIHs for those Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals that are in excess of a specified percentage threshold. For HIHs opened after October 1, 2004, the Medicare admissions threshold has been established at 25%. For HIHs that meet specified criteria and were in existence as of October 1, 2004, including all but two of our then existing HIHs, the Medicare admissions thresholds are phased-in over a four-year period starting with hospital cost reporting periods that began on or after October 1, 2004. For discharges during the cost reporting period that began on or after October 1, 2005 and before October 1, 2006, the Medicare admissions threshold was the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 75%. For discharges during the cost reporting period beginning on or after October 1, 2006 and before October 1, 2007, the Medicare

Table of Contents

admissions threshold is the lesser of the Fiscal 2004 Percentage of Medicare discharges admitted from the host hospital or 50%. For discharges during cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007, the Medicare admissions threshold is 25%. The HIH regulations also established exceptions to the Medicare admissions thresholds with respect to patients who reach “outlier” status at the host hospital, HIHs located in “MSA-dominant hospitals” or HIHs located in rural areas.
     During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a liability of approximately $4.6 million related to estimated repayments to Medicare for host admissions exceeding an HIH hospital’s threshold. The liability has been recorded through a reduction in our net revenue. Because these rules are complex and are based on the volume of Medicare admissions from our host hospitals as a percent of our overall Medicare admissions, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on our future net operating revenues of compliance with these regulations. However, we expect the financial impact to increase as the Medicare admissions thresholds decline during the phase-in of the regulations.
     August 2005 Final Rule. On August 12, 2005, CMS published the IPPS final rule for fiscal year 2006, which included an update of the LTC-DRG relative weights for fiscal year 2006. CMS estimated the changes to the relative weights would reduce LTCH Medicate payments-per-discharge by approximately 4.2 percent in fiscal year 2006.
     May 2006 Final Rule. On May 2, 2006, CMS released its final annual payment rate updates for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007). For discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the rule changed the payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for each SSO case. Payment for these patients had been based on the lesser of (1) 120 percent of the cost of the case; (2) 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient’s length of stay; or (3) the full LTC-DRG payment. The May 2006 final rule modified the limitation in clause (1) above to reduce payment for SSO cases to 100 percent (rather than 120 percent) of the cost of the case. The final rule also added a fourth limitation, capping payment for SSO cases at a per diem rate derived from blending 120 percent of the LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS. Under this methodology, as a patient’s length of stay increases, the percentage of the per diem amount based upon the IPPS component will decrease and the percentage based on the LTC-DRG component will increase.
     In addition, for discharges occurring on or after July 1, 2006, the May 2006 final rule provided for (i) a zero-percent update to the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate used as a basis for LTCH-PPS payments for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year; (ii) the elimination of the surgical case exception to the three-day or less interruption of stay policy, under which surgical exception Medicare reimburses a general acute care hospital directly for surgical services furnished to a long-term acute care hospital patient during a brief interruption of stay from the long-term acute care hospital, rather than requiring the long-term acute care hospital to bear responsibility for such surgical services; and (iii) increasing the costs that a long-term acute care hospital must bear before Medicare will make additional payments for a case under its high-cost outlier policy for the 2007 LTCH-PPS rate year.
     CMS estimated that the changes in the May 2006 final rule will result in an approximately 3.7 percent decrease in LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge as compared to the 2006 rate year, largely attributable to the revised SSO payment methodology. Based upon our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues, we expect that the May 2006 final rule will reduce Medicare revenues associated with SSO cases and high-cost outlier cases to our long-term acute care hospitals by approximately $30.0 million on an annual basis. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we estimate the reduction in Medicare payment for discharges occurring since the implementation of the May 2006 rule change on July 1, 2006 approximated $14.0 million.
     Additionally, had CMS updated the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate by the 2007 estimated

- 39 -


Table of Contents

market basket index of 3.4 percent rather than applying the zero-percent update, we estimate that we would have received approximately $31.0 million in additional annual Medicare revenues, based on our historical Medicare patient volumes and revenues (such revenues would have been paid to our hospitals for discharges beginning on or after July 1, 2006).
     August 2006 Final Rule. On August 18, 2006, CMS published the IPPS final rule for fiscal year 2007, which included an update of the LTC-DRG relative weights for fiscal year 2007. CMS estimated the changes to the relative weights would reduce LTCH Medicare payments-per-discharge by approximately 1.3 percent in fiscal year 2007. The August 2006 final rule also included changes to the diagnosis related groups in IPPS that apply to LTCHs, as the LTC-DRGs are based on the IPPS DRGs. CMS created twenty new DRGs and modified thirty-two others, including LTC-DRGs. Prior to the August 2006 final rule, certain HIHs that were in existence on or before September 30, 1995, and certain satellite facilities that were in existence on or before September 30, 1999, referred to as “grandfathered” HIHs or satellites, were not subject to certain HIH “separateness and control” requirements as long as the “grandfathered” HIHs or satellites continued to operate under the same terms and conditions, including the number of beds and square footage, in effect on September 30, 2003 (for grandfathered HIHs) or September 30, 1999 (for grandfathered satellites). These grandfathered HIHs were also not subject to the payment adjustments for discharged Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals in excess of the specified percentage threshold, as discussed in the August 2004 rule above. The August 2006 final rule revised the regulations to provide grandfathered HIHs and satellites more flexibility in adjusting square footage upward or downward, or decreasing the number of beds without being subject to the “separateness and control” requirements and payment adjustment provisions. As of December 31, 2006, we operated two grandfathered LTCH HIHs.
     February 2007 Proposed Rule. On February 1, 2007, CMS published its proposed annual payment rate update for RY 2008 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and before July 1, 2008). If the rule is adopted as proposed, several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts will be implemented during RY 2008. The final rule, which may differ from the proposed rule, is expected to be published in May of 2007. Compliance with the final rule and any changes to LTCH-PPS may have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.
Development of New Specialty Hospitals and Clinics
     We expect to continue evaluating opportunities to develop new long-term acute care hospitals and free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facilities. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in our current markets where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth.
Critical Accounting Matters
Sources of Revenue
     Our net operating revenues are derived from a number of sources, including commercial, managed care, private and governmental payors. Our net operating revenues include amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable from each of the applicable payors and the federal Medicare program. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients are generally less than the standard billing rates. We account for the differences between the estimated reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates as contractual adjustments, which we deduct from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues.
     Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program from all segments represented approximately 53%, 56% and 50% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, the combined year ended December 31, 2005, and for the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. Approximately 69%, 73% and 68% of our specialty hospital revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, the combined year ended December 31, 2005, and for the year ended December 31,

2004, respectively, were received in respect of services provided to Medicare patients. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2006 and the combined year ended December 31, 2005, all of our Medicare payments were paid under a prospective payment system.
     The LTCH-PPS regulations also refined the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as a long-term acute care hospital. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2002, a long-term acute care hospital must have an average inpatient length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days) of greater than 25 days. Previously, average lengths of stay were measured with respect to all patients.
     Most of our specialty hospitals receive bi-weekly periodic interim payments (“PIP”) from Medicare instead of being paid on an individual claim basis. Under a PIP payment methodology, Medicare estimates a hospital’s claim volume based on historical trends and periodically reconciles the differences between the actual claim data and the estimated payments. At each balance sheet date, we record the difference between our actual claims and the PIP payments as a receivable or payable from third-party payors on our balance sheet.
Contractual Adjustments
     Net operating revenues include amounts estimated by us to be reimbursable by Medicare and Medicaid under prospective payment systems and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. In addition, we are reimbursed by non-governmental payors using a variety of payment methodologies. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients covered by these programs are generally less than the standard billing rates. Contractual allowances are calculated and recorded through our internally developed systems. Within our hospital segment our billing system automatically calculates estimated Medicare reimbursement and associated contractual allowances. For non-governmental payors, we manually calculate the contractual allowance for each patient based upon the contractual provisions associated with the specific payor. In our outpatient segment, we perform provision testing, using internally developed systems, whereby we monitor a payors’ historical paid claims data and compare it against the associated gross charges. This difference is determined as a percentage of gross charges and is applied against gross billing revenue to determine the contractual allowances for the period. Additionally, these contractual percentages are applied against the gross receivables on the balance sheet to determine that adequate contractual reserves are maintained for the gross accounts receivables reported on the balance sheet. We account for any difference as additional contractual adjustments deducted from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues in the period that the difference is determined. The estimation processes described above and used in recording our contractual adjustments have historically yielded consistent and reliable results.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     Substantially all of our accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients. Collection of these accounts receivable is our primary source of cash and is critical to our operating performance. Our primary collection risks relate to non-governmental payors who insure these patients, and deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient. Deductible, co-payments and self-insured amounts are an immaterial portion of our net accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2006, deductible, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient accounted for approximately 0.9% of our net accounts receivable balance before doubtful accounts. Our general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for a patient admitted to our hospitals or in the case of our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, we verify insurance coverage prior to their first therapy visit. Our estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by generally reserving as uncollectible all governmental accounts over 365 days and non-governmental accounts over 180 days from discharge. This method is monitored based on our historical cash collections experience. Collections are impacted by the effectiveness of our collection efforts with non-governmental payors and regulatory or administrative disruptions with the fiscal intermediaries that pay our governmental receivables.

     We estimate bad debts for total accounts receivable within each of our operating units. We believe our policies have resulted in reasonable estimates determined on a consistent basis. We believe that we collect substantially all of our third-party insured receivables (net of contractual allowances) which includes receivables from governmental agencies. To date, we believe there has not been a material difference between our bad debt allowances and the ultimate historical collection rates on accounts receivables. We review our overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of net revenue less the provision for bad debts.
     Uncollected accounts are written off the balance sheet when they are turned over to an outside collection agency, or when management determines that the balance is uncollectible, whichever occurs first.

Insurance
     Under a number of our insurance programs, which include our employee health insurance program and certain components under our property and casualty insurance program, we are liable for a portion of our losses. In these cases we accrue for our losses under an occurrence based principle whereby we estimate the losses that will be incurred by us in a given accounting period and accrue that estimated liability. Where we have substantial exposure, we utilize actuarial methods in estimating the losses. In cases where we have minimal exposure, we will estimate our losses by analyzing historical trends. We monitor these programs quarterly and revise our estimates as necessary to take into account additional information. At December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we have recorded a liability of $60.0 million and $55.7 million, respectively, for our estimated losses under these insurance programs.

Related Party Transactions
     We are party to various rental and other agreements with companies affiliated with us through common ownership. Our payments to these related parties amounted to $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the combined year ended December 31, 2005, respectively. Our future commitments are related to commercial office space we lease for our corporate headquarters in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. These future commitments amount to $15.2 million through 2014. These transactions and commitments are described more fully in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein. See also “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
Consideration of Impairment Related to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     Goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but instead are subject to periodic impairment evaluations under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Our most recent impairment assessment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2006, which indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets. With the exception of goodwill, the majority of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. The majority of our goodwill resides in our Specialty Hospital reporting unit. In performing periodic impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment condition exists, which results in an impairment loss equal to the excess carrying value. Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that might suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business environment, regulatory environment or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge and adversely affecting our results of operations. In May 2006, CMS published its related final annual payment rate updates for the 2007 LTCH-PPS year. This rule made several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts. As a result of these changes, we performed a goodwill impairment assessment in the third quarter of 2006, which indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets. For purposes of goodwill impairment assessment, we have defined our reporting units as specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy with goodwill having been allocated among reporting units based on the relative fair value of those divisions when the Merger occurred in 2005.
     To determine the fair value of our reporting units, we use a discounted cash flow approach. Included in this analysis are assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, internal development of specialty hospitals and rehabilitation clinics, future EBITDA margin estimates, future selling, general and administrative expense rates and our weighted average cost of capital. We also must estimate residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires us to use our knowledge of (1) our industry, (2) our recent transactions, and (3) reasonable performance expectations for our operations. If any one of the above assumptions changes, in some cases insignificantly, or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in our estimated fair value could result in a material impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units.
     On February 1, 2007, CMS published its proposed annual payment rate update for the 2008 LTCH-PPS rate year which begins on July 1, 2007. If the rule is adopted as proposed, several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts will be implemented beginning on July 1, 2007. The final rule, which may differ from the proposed rule, is expected to be published in May 2007. When we performed our last impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2006, the fair value of our specialty hospital reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $32 million or 2%. If we determine that the final regulations will have a material adverse effect on our business, we will perform an impairment assessment to determine the reduction, if any, on our recorded goodwill. Any reduction in recorded goodwill will result in a charge to the income statement.

Realization of Deferred Tax Assets
     We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we estimate our income taxes based on our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. We also recognize as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards. We evaluate the realizability of these deferred tax assets by assessing their valuation allowances and by adjusting the amount of such allowances, if necessary. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are our projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits. However, changes in tax codes, statutory tax rates or future taxable income levels could materially impact our valuation of tax accruals and assets and could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.
     At December 31, 2006, we had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities of approximately $11.9 million. This amount is net of approximately $14.4 million of valuation reserves related to state tax net operating losses that may not be realized.
Income Tax Reserves
     We record and review quarterly our estimated income tax reserves. Income tax reserves are established for exposure items related to various federal and state tax matters. Income tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated. While we believe that our income tax reserves are adequate, the settlement of any such exposures at amounts that differ from current reserves may require us to materially increase or decrease our income tax reserves.

(1)   The financial data for the period after the Merger, February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005 (Successor period), has been added to the financial data for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 (Predecessor period), to arrive at the combined year ended December 31, 2005.
 
(2)   Cost of services includes salaries, wages and benefits, operating supplies, lease and rent expense and other operating costs.
 
(3)   We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, income from discontinued operations, loss on early retirement of debt, merger related charges, stock compensation expense, long-term incentive compensation, other income and minority interest. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating units. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See footnote 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA as utilized by us in reporting our segment performance in accordance with SFAS No. 131.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Combined Year Ended December 31, 2005
Net Operating Revenues
     Our net operating revenues decreased by 0.4% to $1,851.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,858.4 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005.
     Specialty Hospitals. Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased 0.4% to $1,378.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,372.5 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Net operating revenues for the specialty hospitals opened before January 1, 2005 and operated by us throughout both years increased 2.4% to $1,354.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $1,323.4 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was offset by the effect of closed hospitals, which amounted to $28.0 million of net revenue. Hospitals opened in 2006 increased net operating revenues by $2.6 million. The increase in same store hospitals net operating revenues resulted from both an increase in our patient days and higher net revenue per patient day. Our patient days for these same store hospitals increased 0.3% and our occupancy percentage remained constant at 70% for both the year ended December 31, 2006 and the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Although we have experienced a small increase in our same store specialty hospitals net operating revenue, we experienced a reduction in our Medicare net operating revenues of $21.4 million that was offset by a $52.8 million increase in our non-Medicare net operating revenues. The reduction in Medicare net operating revenues has resulted from LTACH regulatory changes that have reduced the payment rates for Medicare cases.
     Outpatient Rehabilitation. Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues declined 2.2% to $470.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $480.7 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The number of patient visits in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics declined 10.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 2,972,243 visits compared to 3,308,620 visits for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net operating revenues and patient visits was principally related to a decline in the volume of visits per clinic and in the number of clinics we own. Net revenue per visit in these clinics was $94 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $89 for the combined year ended December 31, 2005.
     Other. Our other revenues were $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $5.2 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. These revenues are principally related to the sales of home medical equipment, infusion/intravenous services, and non-healthcare services. In May 2005, we sold the assets of our home medical equipment and infusion/intravenous service business, which resulted in the reduction in our other revenues.
Operating Expenses
     Our operating expenses decreased by 8.8% to $1,547.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,695.5 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. The principal reason for the decline in our operating expenses resulted from a significant decline in our general and administrative expenses. There were three significant categories of expenses incurred during the combined year ended December 31, 2005 that do not exist for the year ended December 31, 2006. First, Holdings granted restricted stock awards in connection with the Merger to certain key management employees. These awards generally vest over five years. Effective at the time of the Merger, Holdings also granted stock options to certain other key employees that vest over five years. The fair value of restricted stock awards and stock options vesting and expensed during the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005 was $10.3 million. Of this amount, $10.1 million was included in general and administrative expense and $0.2 million was included in cost of services. Second, during the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005, all of our then outstanding

stock options were cancelled and cashed-out in accordance with the Merger agreement. This resulted in a charge of $142.2 million of which $115.0 million is included in general and administrative expense and $27.2 million is included in cost of services. And third, as a result of the special dividend of $175.0 million paid to Holdings’ preferred stockholders on September 29, 2005, we incurred $14.5 million of expense in connection with a payment to certain members of management under the terms of Holdings’ long-term incentive compensation plan that is included in general and administrative expense. Our general and administrative cost for the combined year end December 31, 2005 also contained costs associated with the SemperCare corporate office which were not eliminated until the second quarter of 2005.
     During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded expense related to the vesting of restricted stock and stock options in the amount of $3.8 million. Of this amount, $3.6 million is included in general and administrative expense and $0.2 million is included in cost of services.
     As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 83.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 91.2% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Cost of services as a percentage of operating revenues was 80.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 80.1% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. These costs primarily reflect our labor expenses. Another component of cost of services is facility rent expense, which was $84.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $81.6 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 1.0% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 1.3% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease in bad debt expense resulted from continued improvement in the aging composition of our accounts receivable measured in absolute dollars which has resulted in a lower bad debt requirement and expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
     Specialty Hospitals. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 8.1% to $283.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $308.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 20.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 22.5% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The hospitals opened before January 1, 2005 and operated throughout both years had Adjusted EBITDA of $292.6 million, a decrease of 3.3% over the Adjusted EBITDA of these hospitals in 2005. The decrease in same store hospitals’ Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from the reduction in our Medicare net operating revenues resulting from LTACH regulatory changes that have reduced our payment rates for Medicare cases. Additionally, during 2005 we recorded a one-time benefit of $3.8 million due to the reversal of an accrued patient care liability as a result of the termination of this obligation. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin in these same store hospitals decreased to 21.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 22.9% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005.
     Outpatient Rehabilitation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1.7% to $64.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $66.0 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 13.8% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 13.7% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the decline in clinic visit volumes, described under “— Net Operating Revenue — Outpatient Rehabilitation” above.
     Other. The Adjusted EBITDA loss, which primarily includes our general and administrative expenses, was $39.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to a loss of $44.2 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. This reduction in the Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily the result of the decline in our general and administrative expenses associated with the SemperCare corporate office which were eliminated in the second quarter of 2005 and losses incurred

during 2005 related to our home medical equipment and infusion/intravenous service business which was sold in May 2005.
Income from Operations
     For the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced income from operations of $257.9 million compared to income from operations of $119.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in income from operations experienced for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulted from the higher expenses incurred during the combined year ended December 31, 2005 related to significant stock compensation costs associated with the Merger of $152.5 million and the payment of $14.5 million under the terms of Holdings’ long-term incentive compensation plan offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.8 million, and the Adjusted EBITDA decreases described above. The stock compensation expense was comprised of $142.2 million related to the redemption of all vested and unvested outstanding stock options in accordance with the terms of the Merger agreement in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 and an additional $10.3 million of stock compensation expense related to shares of restricted stock that were issued in the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
Loss on Early Retirement of Debt
     In connection with the Merger, we commenced tender offers to acquire all of our 91/2% senior subordinated notes due 2009 and all of our 71/2% senior subordinated notes due 2013. Upon completion of the tender offers on February 24, 2005, all $175.0 million of the 71/2% senior subordinated notes were tendered and $169.3 million of the $175.0 million of 91/2% notes were tendered. The loss consists of the tender premium cost of $34.8 million and the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.9 million.
Merger Related Charges
     As a result of the Merger, we incurred costs of $12.0 million in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 directly related to the Merger. This included the fees of the investment advisor hired by the special committee of our board of directors to evaluate the Merger, legal and accounting fees, costs associated with the Hart-Scott-Rodino filing related to the Merger, cost associated with purchasing a six-year extended reporting period under our directors and officers liability insurance policy and other associated expenses.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense increased by $8.9 million to $97.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $88.4 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in interest expense is due to higher interest rates experienced during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Minority Interests
     Minority interests in consolidated earnings was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $2.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005.
Income Taxes
     For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded income tax expense of $56.1 million. This expense represented an effective tax rate of 34.7%. We recognized a lower effective tax for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of a significant tax loss we recognized on the sale of a group of legal entities that operated outpatient rehabilitation clinics. These legal entities were sold at an amount that

Table of Contents

approximated their GAAP book value. However, these legal entities that were originally acquired as part of our acquisition of the NovaCare Physical and Occupational Health Group in 1999 had a substantial stock tax basis. We recorded an income tax benefit of $59.8 million for the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005. The tax benefit represented an effective tax benefit rate of 37.2%. This effective tax benefit rate consisted of the statutory federal rate of 35% and a state rate of 2.2%. The federal tax benefit was carried forward and used to offset our federal tax throughout the remainder of 2005. Because of the differing state tax rules related to net operating losses, a portion of these state net operating losses were assigned valuation allowances. We recorded an income tax expense of $56.5 million for the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.6%.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
     On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary CBIL for approximately C$89.8 million in cash (US$79.0 million). As of December 31, 2005, CBIL operated 109 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in seven Canadian provinces and had approximately 1,000 employees. We conducted all of our Canadian operations through CBIL. The financial results of CBIL have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this report, and its assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale on our December 31, 2005 balance sheet.
Combined Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
Net Operating Revenues
     Our net operating revenues increased by 16.0% to $1,858.4 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1,601.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
     Specialty Hospitals. Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased 25.7% to $1,372.5 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1,091.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net operating revenues for the specialty hospitals opened before January 1, 2004 and operated by us throughout both years increased 8.7% to $1,153.6 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 from $1,060.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase resulted from both an increase in our patient days and higher net revenue per patient day. Our patient days for these hospitals increased 5.0% and our occupancy percentage increased to 72% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 69% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The remaining increase of $188.1 million resulted primarily from the acquisition of the SemperCare facilities, which contributed $172.5 million of net revenue growth.
     Outpatient Rehabilitation. Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues declined 3.6% to $480.7 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $498.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The number of patient visits in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics declined 8.6% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 to 3,308,620 visits compared to 3,621,129 visits for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in net operating revenues and patient visits was principally related to a 6.1% decline in the number of clinics we operate and a 1.6% decline in the volume of visits per clinic. Net revenue per visit in these clinics was $89 in 2005 and $90 in 2004. Offsetting the net operating revenue decline in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics were increases in our contract services revenues.
     Other. Our other revenues were $5.2 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. These revenues are principally related to the sales of orthotics, prosthetics, home medical equipment, and infusion/intravenous services. In May 2005, we sold the assets of our home medical equipment and infusion/intravenous service business, which resulted in the reduction in our other revenues.

Operating Expenses
     Our operating expenses increased by 26.5% to $1,695.5 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1,340.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. The increase in cost of services was principally related to the acquisition of SemperCare facilities on January 1, 2005. In connection with the Merger, Holdings granted restricted stock awards to certain key management employees. These awards generally vest over five years. Effective at the time of the Merger, Holdings also granted stock options to certain other key employees that vest over five years. The fair value of restricted stock awards and stock options vesting during the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005 was $10.3 million. Of this amount, $10.1 million is included in general and administrative expense and $0.2 million was included in cost of services. Additionally, during the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 all of our then outstanding stock options were cancelled and cashed-out in accordance with the Merger agreement. This resulted in a charge of $142.2 million of which $115.0 million is included in general and administrative expense and $27.2 million is included in cost of services.
     As a result of the special dividend of $175.0 million paid to Holdings’ preferred stockholders on September 29, 2005, we incurred $14.5 million of expense in connection with a payment to certain members of management under the terms of Holdings’ long-term incentive compensation plan that is included in general and administrative expense.
     As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 91.2% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 83.7% for the year ended December 31, 2004. Cost of services as a percentage of operating revenues was 80.1% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 77.8% for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was due to higher labor and operating costs in our outpatient division combined with higher non-labor costs in our hospitals. Another component of cost of services is facility rent expense, which was $81.6 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase is principally related to the SemperCare hospitals we acquired on January 1, 2005. During the same time period, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net operating revenues increased to 9.8% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 from 2.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase in general and administrative expense resulted from an increase in our stock compensation costs and long-term incentive compensation offset by a decline in our expense for abandoned hospital development projects in 2005. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 1.3% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2004. This decrease in bad debt expense resulted from continued improvement in our collection of non-Medicare accounts receivable.
  Adjusted EBITDA
     Specialty Hospitals. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 30.3% to $308.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $236.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 22.5% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 from 21.7% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The hospitals opened before January 1, 2004 and operated throughout both years had Adjusted EBITDA of $274.0 million, an increase of 13.7% over the Adjusted EBITDA of these hospitals in 2004. The increase in same store hospitals’ Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from an increase in net revenue per patient day and patient days. Additionally, during 2005 we recorded a one-time benefit of $3.8 million due to the reversal of an accrued patient care liability as a result of the termination of this obligation. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin in these same store hospitals

- 54 -


Table of Contents

increased to 23.8% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 from 22.7% for the year ended December 31, 2004.
     Outpatient Rehabilitation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 7.8% to $66.0 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $71.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins declined to 13.7% for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 from 14.3% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the decline in clinic visit volumes, described under—“Net Operating Revenue — Outpatient Rehabilitation” above, combined with higher labor costs.
     Other. The Adjusted EBITDA loss, which primarily includes our general and administrative expenses, was $44.2 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to a loss of $46.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This reduction in the Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily the result of the decline in our general and administrative expenses.
  Income from Operations
     For the combined year ended December 31, 2005, we experienced income from operations of $119.1 million compared to income from operations of $222.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The lower income from operations experienced for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 resulted from the significant stock compensation costs related to the Merger of $152.5 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $4.9 million, offset by the Adjusted EBITDA increases described above. The stock compensation expense was comprised of $142.2 million related to the redemption of all vested and unvested outstanding stock options in accordance with the terms of the Merger agreement in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 and an additional $10.3 million of stock compensation expense related to shares of restricted stock that were issued in the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
  Loss on Early Retirement of Debt
     In connection with the Merger, we commenced tender offers to acquire all of our 91/2% senior subordinated notes due 2009 and all of our 71/2% senior subordinated notes due 2013. Upon completion of the tender offers on February 24, 2005, all $175.0 million of the 71/2% senior subordinated notes were tendered and $169.3 million of the $175.0 million of 91/2% notes were tendered. The loss consists of the tender premium cost of $34.8 million and the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.9 million.
  Merger Related Charges
     As a result of the Merger, we incurred costs of $12.0 million in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 directly related to the Merger. This included the fees of the investment advisor hired by the special committee of our board of directors to evaluate the Merger, legal and accounting fees, costs associated with the Hart-Scott-Rodino filing related to the Merger, cost associated with purchasing a six year extended reporting period under our directors and officers liability insurance policy and other associated expenses.
  Interest Expense
     Interest expense increased by $55.1 million to $88.4 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 from $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in interest expense is due to the higher debt levels outstanding in the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005. During this Successor period we had approximately $1.0 billion in additional debt compared to the same period in 2004.

  Minority Interests
     Minority interests in consolidated earnings was $2.1 million for the combined year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
  Income Taxes
     We recorded income tax benefit of $59.8 million for the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005. The tax benefit represented an effective tax benefit rate of 37.2%. This effective tax benefit rate consisted of the statutory federal rate of 35% and a state rate of 2.2%. The federal tax benefit was carried forward and used to offset our federal tax throughout the remainder of 2005. Because of the differing state tax rules related to net operating losses, a portion of these state net operating losses were assigned valuation allowances. We recorded income tax expense of $56.5 million for the Successor period of February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.6%. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded income tax expense of $76.6 million. This expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.2%.
  Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
     On March 1, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary CBIL for approximately C$89.8 million in cash (US$79.0 million). As of December 31, 2005, CBIL operated 109 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in seven Canadian provinces and had approximately 1,000 employees. We conducted all of our Canadian operations through CBIL. The financial results of CBIL have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this report, and its assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale on our December 31, 2005 balance sheet.
     On September 27, 2004, we sold the land, building and certain other assets and liabilities associated with our only skilled nursing facility for $11.6 million, which we acquired as part of the Kessler acquisition in September 2003. The operating results of the skilled nursing facility have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Year Ended December 31, 2006, Combined Year Ended December 31, 2005, and Year Ended December 31, 2004
     Operating activities generated $260.2 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2006. Our operating cash flow was positively affected by a reduction in our accounts receivable and tax benefits we realized by changing our tax accounting method used for deducting bad debts. The tax accounting change had the effect of accelerating the tax deduction for bad debt reserves. Our days sales outstanding were 41 days at December 31, 2006 compared to 52 days at December 31, 2005. The significant reduction in days sales outstanding was the result of several factors. The timing of our Periodic Interim Payments from Medicare received by our Specialty Hospitals resulted in a seven day decline in the days sales outstanding. The remaining decline was the result of improved cash collections.
     For the combined year ended December 31, 2005, operating activities generated $64.1 million of cash. Our operating cash flow was reduced by $186.0 million in cash expenses related to the Merger. Our days sales outstanding were 52 days at December 31, 2005 compared to 48 days at December 31, 2004. The increase in days sales outstanding is primarily the result of a change in the way Medicare calculates our Periodic Interim Payments in our Specialty Hospitals. Medicare changed from a per day based calculation to a discharged based calculation to better align the Periodic Interim Payment methodology

with the current discharge based reimbursement system. As a result, we are no longer receiving a periodic payment for those patients that have not yet been discharged.
     For the year ended December 31, 2004, operating activities generated $174.3 million of cash flow. This significant increase in cash flow from prior years is attributable to improved operating income and reductions in our accounts receivable days outstanding. Our accounts receivable days outstanding were 48 days at December 31, 2004 compared to 52 days at December 31, 2003.
     Investing activities used $81.5 million, $220.8 million and $29.0 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006, the combined year ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. Of this amount, we incurred earnout and acquisition related payments of $3.4 million, $111.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively in 2006, 2005 and 2004. In 2005, the SemperCare acquisition accounted for $105.1 million of the $111.6 million acquisition payments. The remaining acquisition payments relate primarily to small acquisitions of outpatient businesses. The earnout payments related principally to obligations we assumed as part of our 1999 NovaCare acquisition. Investing activities also used cash for the purchases of property and equipment of $155.1 million, $109.9 million and $32.6 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which was related principally to construction and relocation of existing hospitals and to a lesser amount the development and construction of new hospitals. During 2005 and 2006, we purchased properties that will be used to relocate existing hospitals and develop new free standing hospitals. Each of these properties require additional improvements to be made before they become operational. Additionally, during 2005 and 2006, we made major improvements and expanded our rehabilitation hospital in West Orange, New Jersey. During 2006, we sold all of our Canadian operations and a group of outpatient rehabilitation clinics. The cash flow from these transactions, net of operating cash transferred with the businesses, was $75.0 million. During 2004, we sold our only skilled nursing facility and our non-controlling interest in a rehabilitation hospital for $15.6 million.
     Financing activities used $133.0 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2006. The cash usage resulted primarily from principal repayments on our credit facility of $90.8 million, dividends paid to Holdings of $32.6 million and repayment of bank overdrafts of $7.1 million.
     Financing activities used $55.4 million of cash for the combined year ended December 31, 2005. The principal financing activities were related to the Merger financing discussed below. The excess proceeds from the Transactions were used to pay Merger related costs, which include the cancellation and cash-out of outstanding stock options. Additionally, during 2005 we repaid $115.0 million of debt under our revolver and $4.4 million of our term loan. During 2005, we paid dividends of $10.0 million to Holdings which it used to fund interest payments on its debt. Bank overdrafts of $19.4 provided additional financing cash.
     Financing activities used $64.0 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2004. This was principally due to the repurchase of our common stock in accordance with the stock repurchase program we announced on February 23, 2004. During 2004, we repurchased a total of 3,399,400 shares at a cost, including fees and commissions, of $48.1 million. Additionally, during 2004, we repaid all outstanding balances under our credit facility of $8.5 million and repaid $3.9 million of seller and other debt. Cash dividend payments in 2004 were $9.2 million. Additionally, during 2004 we had $18.6 million of cash flow from the issuance of common stock under our stock option plans.
Capital Resources
     Net working capital was $39.4 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $88.4 million at December 31, 2005. The reduction in working capital was principally related to the reduction in accounts receivable, which is described above. See “Liquidity and Capital

Resources — Year Ended December 31, 2006, Combined Year Ended December 31, 2005 and Year Ended December 31, 2004.” This reduction was offset by an increase in cash.
     Net working capital was $88.4 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $313.7 million at December 31, 2004. This decrease in working capital was principally related to the use of cash to fund Merger costs, offset by an increase in accounts receivable.
     In connection with the Merger, on February 24, 2005, we borrowed $780.0 million under an $880.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and issued $660.0 million 75/8% senior subordinated notes. Since the Merger on February 24, 2005, we have repaid approximately $210.2 million of senior secured credit facility debt as of December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding $1.2 billion in aggregate indebtedness, excluding $24.5 million of letters of credit, with approximately $275.5 million of additional borrowing capacity under Select’s existing senior secured credit facility. As a result, our liquidity requirements are significantly higher than they were before the Merger due to our increased debt service obligations.
     Our senior secured credit facility provides for senior secured financing of up to $880.0 million, consisting of:
    a $300.0 million revolving loan facility that will terminate on February 24, 2011, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility, and
 
    a $580.0 million term loan facility that matures on February 24, 2012.
     Proceeds of the term loans and $200.0 million of revolving loans, together with other sources of funds, were used to finance the Merger. Proceeds of the revolving loans borrowed after the closing date of the Merger, swingline loans and letters of credit are used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
     The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swingline loans, under our senior secured credit facility are, at our option, equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate for a one, two, three or six month interest period, or a nine or twelve month period if available, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. The alternate base rate is the greater of (1) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate and (2) one-half of 1% over the weighted average of rates on overnight Federal funds as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The adjusted LIBOR rate is determined by reference to settlement rates established for deposits in dollars in the London interbank market for a period equal to the interest period of the loan and the maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve to which our lenders are subject. The applicable margin percentage for revolving loans is currently (1) 1.00% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 2.00% for adjusted LIBOR loans, subject to change based upon the ratio of our total indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). The applicable margin percentages for the term loans are (1) 0.75% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 1.75% for adjusted LIBOR loans. On June 13, 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction with an effective date of August 22, 2005. The swap is being designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The underlying variable rate debt is $200.0 million and the swap is for a period of five years.
     On March 19, 2007, we entered into an Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to our senior secured credit facility and on March 28, 2007 we entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Amendment No. 2 increases our general exception to the prohibition on asset sales under our senior secured credit facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, relaxes certain financial covenants starting March 31, 2007 and waives our requirement to prepay certain term loan borrowings following our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

The Incremental Facility Amendment provides to us an incremental term loan of $100.0 million, the proceeds of which we intend to use to pay a portion of the purchase price for the HealthSouth transaction.
     On February 24, 2005, EGL Acquisition Corp. issued and sold $660.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015, which we assumed in connection with the Merger. The net proceeds of the offering were used to finance a portion of the funds needed to consummate the Merger with EGL Acquisition Corp. The notes were issued under an indenture between EGL Acquisition Corp. and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The notes are guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. On or after February 1, 2010, the notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at redemption prices that decline annually to 100% on and after February 1, 2013, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to February 1, 2008, we may at our option on one or more occasions with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings redeem the outstanding notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount originally issued at a redemption price of 107.625%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
     Upon a change of control of our Company, each holder of notes may require us to repurchase all or any portion of the holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
     Our 91/2% senior subordinated notes due 2009 were issued in June 2001 in an original aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million. We commenced a debt tender offer and redeemed $169.3 million in aggregate principal amount of these notes in connection with the Merger. On June 15, 2005, we redeemed the remaining $5.7 million outstanding principal amount of 91/2% senior subordinated notes due 2009 for a redemption price of 104.750% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
     On September 29, 2005, Holdings sold $175.0 million of senior floating rate notes due 2015, which bear interest at a rate per annum, reset semi-annually, equal to the 6-month LIBOR plus 5.75%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, with the principal due in full on September 15, 2015. The senior floating rate notes are general unsecured obligations of Holdings and are not guaranteed by us or any of our subsidiaries. In connection with the issuance of the senior floating rate notes, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $175.0 million. The variable interest rate of the debt was 11.2% and the fixed rate after the swap was 10.2% at December 31, 2006. The net proceeds of the issuance of the senior floating rate notes, together with cash provided through a dividend from us, was used to reduce the amount of Holdings’ preferred stock, to make a payment to participants in Holdings’ long-term incentive plan and to pay related fees and expenses. Our parent company is a holding company, and as such, will rely on our cash flow to service this obligation and the $150.0 million of 10% senior subordinated notes Holdings issued to consummate the Merger transaction.
     In connection with this borrowing by Holdings, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit facility. This amendment, among other things, permitted Holdings to incur this indebtedness and permits us to make distributions to Holdings to service its indebtedness. The amendment also permitted Holdings to use the net proceeds of the offering, to make the $175.0 million special dividend to its preferred stockholders and to incur $14.5 million of expense in connection with a payment to certain members of management under the terms of Holdings’ long-term incentive compensation plan that is included in general and administrative expense.
     We believe internally generated cash flows and borrowings of revolving loans under our senior secured credit facility will be sufficient to finance operations for at least the next twelve months.

     As a result of the recently enacted HIH regulations, we currently anticipate that we will need to relocate a significant number of our long-term acute care hospitals. Our transition plan includes managing admissions at existing HIHs, relocating certain HIHs to leased spaces in smaller host hospitals in the same markets, consolidating HIHs in certain of our markets, relocating certain of our facilities to alternative settings, building or buying free-standing facilities and closing a small number of facilities. At this time we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on revenues and operating expenses at the hospitals being moved. These relocation efforts will require us to make additional capital expenditures above historic levels. At December 31, 2006, we have commitments under construction contracts related to improvements and renovations at our long-term acute care properties and our inpatient rehabilitation facilities totaling $48.1 million.
     We relocated one of our HIH hospitals to a free-standing building in the fourth quarter of 2005. During 2006, we relocated 11 of our HIH hospitals into seven free standing buildings. Additionally, during 2006 we opened two new hospitals in free-standing buildings and one new hospital as an HIH. We closed four HIH hospitals during 2006.
     We also continue to evaluate opportunities to develop new long-term acute care hospitals and free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facilities. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in our current markets where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth.

division of HealthSouth for approximately $245.0 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the division’s net working capital on the closing date.
     The HealthSouth transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
Agreement to Purchase Nexus Health Systems, Inc.
      On March 26, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Nexus Health Systems, Inc. (“Nexus”), Neurobehavioral Management Services L.L.C., Nexus Health Inc. and the stockholders of Nexus Health Systems, Inc. to acquire substantially all of the assets of Nexus for approximately $49.0 million in cash plus the assumption of a capital lease. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on Nexus’s net working capital, cash and indebtedness on the closing date.
      The Nexus transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
Amendment to Credit Agreement
     On March 19, 2007, we entered into an Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to our senior secured credit facility and on March 28, 2007 we entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Amendment No. 2 increases our general exception to the prohibition on asset sales under our senior secured credit facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, relaxes certain financial covenants starting March 31, 2007 and waives our requirement to prepay certain term loan borrowings following our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Incremental Facility Amendment provides to us an incremental term loan of $100.0 million, the proceeds of which we intend to use to pay a portion of the purchase price for the HealthSouth transaction.
Inflation
     The healthcare industry is labor intensive. Wages and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We have implemented cost control measures, including our case and resource management program, to curtail increases in operating costs and expenses. We have, to date, offset increases in operating costs by increasing reimbursement for services and expanding services. However, we cannot predict our ability to cover or offset future cost increases.
     We periodically investigate strategic acquisitions that could increase our market share in one or both of our business segments. We cannot predict the likelihood that any of these business acquisitions will be consummated nor can we predict the cost of this type of acquisition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In February 2007, the FASB Issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 was to permit all entities to choose to elect, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” An entity is prohibited from retrospectively applying SFAS No. 159, unless it chooses early adoption. SFAS No. 159 also applies to eligible items existing at November 15, 2007 (or early adoption date). We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial misstatements would not require amending previous filings; rather such corrections may be made in subsequent filings. The cumulative effect of initially applying SAB No. 108, if any, can be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. SAB No. 108 does not change the SEC staff’s previous positions regarding qualitative considerations in assessing the materiality of misstatements. SAB No. 108 was effective beginning in the

Table of Contents

fourth quarter of 2006. The implementation of SAB No. 108 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires the employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
     In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise’s tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition of tax positions. The recognition threshold and measurement attribute is part of a two step tax position evaluation process prescribed in FIN No. 48. FIN No. 48 is effective after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating our uncertain tax positions as required under the accounting standard in order to implement the standard during the first quarter of 2007. We have not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of SFAS No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities associated with a transfer of assets (e.g., a sale of receivables) be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value and requires an entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 although early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated SFAS No. 156 and have determined that there is no impact to the consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments, eliminates the FASB’s interim guidance which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and eliminates the restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to the loans outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. As of December 31, 2006, we had $569.9 million in term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit facility, which bear interest at variable rates. On June 13, 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction. The effective date of the swap transaction was August 22, 2005. We entered into the swap transaction to mitigate the risks of future variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $200.0 million, the underlying variable rate debt is associated with the senior secured credit facility, and the swap is for a period of five years. Each eighth point change in interest rates on the variable rate portion of our long-term indebtedness would result in a $0.5 million change in interest expense on our term loans.
     In conjunction with the issuance of the Holdings’ senior floating rate notes, on September 29, 2005 we entered into a swap transaction to mitigate the risks of future variable rate interest payments associated with this debt. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $175.0 million and the swap is for a period of five years.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
     The Company’s compensation philosophy for executive officers is designed with the primary goal of rewarding the contributions of executive officers to the financial performance of the Company and providing overall compensation sufficient to attract and retain executive officers and motivate them to contribute to the Company’s financial performance. The Company seeks to achieve its goal with respect to executive officers’ compensation by implementing and maintaining a bonus plan for certain executive officers that ties a substantial portion of each executive’s overall compensation to pre-determined financial goals relating to the Company’s return on equity and earnings per share. For the 2006 fiscal year, the named executive officers eligible to participate in the bonus plan were Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio, Ms. Rice and Mr. Jackson. For other executive officers, the Company may determine, at the time of hire or otherwise, that a bonus may be earned if the compensation committee determines that such officer has made a meaningful contribution to the Company’s performance and the Company has achieved its financial performance objectives. Mr. Romberger is eligible to earn a bonus based on the compensation committee’s discretionary determination.
     The Company’s Chief Executive Officer may, from time to time, recommend levels of compensation for named executive officers. However the compensation committee makes the final determination regarding the compensation of the named executive officers. The compensation committee periodically reviews overall compensation levels to ensure that performance-based compensation represents a sufficient portion of total compensation to promote and reward executive officers’ contributions to Company performance. With respect to the Company’s named executive officers other than Mr. Romberger, the Company has determined that it should place increasing emphasis on performance-based compensation in lieu of paying higher base salaries, and has frozen base salaries for such named executive officers, as described more fully below.
     The Company does not utilize a formal benchmarking process to set compensation levels. However, the compensation committee does give consideration, from time to time, to the compensation paid by comparable companies in our industry. The Company does not retain a compensation consultant.
Elements of Compensation
     Executive compensation consists of following elements, each of which is discussed in further detail in the sections that follow:
    Base Salary
 
    Annual Performance-Based Bonuses for senior executive officers
 
    Annual Discretionary Bonuses for other executive officers
 
    Holdings’ Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan

    General benefits
Base Salary
     The Company sets base salaries for named executive officers at levels that it believes are competitive with the industry when combined with the bonus program. The compensation committee periodically reviews base salaries for the named executive officers. In 2004, the compensation committee determined that base salaries for the Company’s named executive officers other than Mr. Romberger were sufficient and should be frozen at their then-current levels. Base salaries for Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio, Ms. Rice and Mr. Jackson were frozen for 2006 and the amount of base salary reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, below, for each of such individuals is the same as the amount reported last year. During the same period, however, Mr. Romberger’s base salary has been adjusted upward annually based on the compensation committee’s determination that Mr. Romberger has performed his duties at a very high level and in order to assure that his overall compensation remains competitive with comparable positions in other companies, based on the compensation committee’s informal review. Accordingly, Mr. Romberger’s base salary for fiscal year 2006 ($260,000) is $18,000 higher than it was during fiscal year 2005.
Annual Performance-Based Bonuses for Executives
     In 2006, the compensation committee established financial performance targets for the bonus plan for certain executive officers based on the Company’s return on equity and earnings per share, the achievement of which may entitle the executive officers who are eligible to participate in the bonus plan to receive annual bonuses of up to 250% of a target bonus percentage multiplied by the executive officer’s base salary. The compensation committee considers the range of bonus opportunities to be appropriate based on the committee’s determination that performance-based bonuses should represent a significant portion of overall compensation for the executive officers who participate in the bonus plan, which includes all of the named executive officers other than Mr. Romberger. In order to further the Company’s philosophy that compensation should reward such executive officers’ contribution to the Company’s financial performance, the bonus plan for such executives is designed to determine bonuses based on measures directly related to the Company’s financial performance and the increase in stockholder value. For the 2006 fiscal year, the compensation committee established the following goals, both of which needed to be attained to entitle the executive to receive a cash payment equal to the stated bonus percentage times the executive’s base salary: return on equity of at least 15% and earnings per share of at least $0.45. For 2006, the target bonus percentage for each of the named executive officers eligible to participate in the bonus plan is set forth in the table below. The target bonus percentage for Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio exceeds the target bonus percentages for the other named executive officers due to a higher level of responsibility.
     
    Target Bonus
Named Executive Officer   (% of Base Salary)
 
Rocco A. Ortenzio
  80%
Robert A. Ortenzio
  80%
Patricia A. Rice
  50%
Martin F. Jackson
  50%
     The Company’s financial performance goals for 2006 for return on equity and earnings per share were not attained. Accordingly, none of the named executive officers listed in the table above received bonuses for fiscal year 2006 under the bonus plan.

2007 Annual Performance-Based Bonuses
     On February 13, 2007, the compensation committee and the board of directors of Holdings adopted the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan Matrix for 2007 for purposes of determining bonuses under the bonus plan for certain executive officers, including all of the named executive officers other than Mr. Romberger. Each such executive officer has a bonus target expressed as a percentage of such executive officer’s base salary paid during the year. The target bonus percentage for each named executive officer who is eligible to participate in the bonus plan in 2007 were set as follows:
     
    Target Bonus
Named Executive Officer   (% of Base Salary)
 
Rocco A. Ortenzio
  80%
Robert A. Ortenzio
  80%
Patricia A. Rice
  50%
Martin F. Jackson
  50%
     Based on the Company’s 2007 performance, actual bonuses may range from 0% to 250% of the participant’s target bonus percentage amount times a participant’s base salary. If the Company does not achieve our performance goal for either return on equity or earnings per share in 2007, no bonuses will be paid under the bonus plan for 2007. If both of the performance goals are met in 2007, the participants will receive cash bonuses equal to the target bonus percentage listed above times the participant’s base salary. If one or both of the performance goals are exceeded, the participants may receive bonuses greater than the target bonus percentage listed above, up to a maximum of 250% of such target bonus percentage multiplied by such participant’s base salary, depending the extent to which the performance goals are exceeded. For example, a participant whose target bonus percentage is 50% is eligible to receive a bonus equal to 125% of the participant’s base salary if the maximum cash award of 250% is achieved (i.e., 250% times 50% equals 125%).
Discretionary Annual Bonus
     The compensation committee has the authority to award bonuses to the Company’s executives on a purely discretionary basis. In 2006, the compensation committee granted a discretionary bonus of $50,000 to Mr. Jackson, even though Mr. Jackson is a participant in the bonus plan described above, and no bonuses were awarded under that plan for 2006 due to the Company’s failure to meet its performance goals. The compensation committee elected to pay a discretionary bonus to Mr. Jackson because it determined that in 2006 Mr. Jackson performed at a very high level, and that the Company’s failure to achieve its performance goals in 2006 was due to factors beyond Mr. Jackson’s control, including the regulatory changes that reduced the Company’s Medicare reimbursements for its specialty hospitals.
     When Mr. Romberger was hired in 1997, the Company committed to an annual discretionary bonus opportunity of up to 40% of Mr. Romberger’s base salary. The payment of this discretionary bonus in any year is subject to the compensation committee’s review of Mr. Romberger’s and the Company’s performance for that year. For fiscal year 2006, the compensation committee determined that Mr. Romberger performed at a very high level, but that since the Company did not meet its expected performance goals, the discretionary bonus would be paid at the 90% level. Accordingly, Mr. Romberger’s actual 2006 bonus was 90% of 40% of his 2006 base salary, or $93,600. In general, the Company paid discretionary bonuses to all eligible employees (excluding certain executive officers of the Company whose bonus, if any, is determined under the performance-based bonus plan described above) at the 90% level for 2006 based on the Company’s failure to meet its performance goals.
Holdings Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan
     The Company’s named executive officers other than Mr. Romberger are eligible to participate in Holdings Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the Cash Plan. By granting such

executive officers of the Company a certain number of units under the Cash Plan, Holdings seeks to provide an incentive to management to assist in its investors’ long-term goal, specifically to retain management employees for the duration of their investment in the Company and motivate them to work toward the achievement of a liquidity event for the investors. To achieve these goals, participants in the Cash Plan will receive cash payments under the plan to the extent Holdings exceeds targeted returns on invested equity as of a liquidity event, such as a sale of our Company or an initial public offering by Holdings, or upon the redemption of Holdings’ preferred stock or the payment of special dividends on Holdings’ preferred stock.
     The named executive officers of the Company, other than Mr. Romberger, may receive payment of cash benefits based upon (i) the value of our Company upon a change in control of Holdings or upon qualified initial public offering of Holdings or (ii) a redemption of Holdings’ preferred stock or special dividends paid on Holdings’ preferred stock. Until the occurrence of an event that would trigger the payment of cash on any outstanding units is deemed probable by us, no expense for any award is reflected in our financial statements. Units granted under the Cash Plan were fully vested (but remain subject to forfeiture) prior to 2006 and, because Holdings has not altered the allocation of units previously established and disclosed and because no event entitling named executive officers to payment under the Cash Plan occurred in 2006, there is no amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table below regarding the Cash Plan.
     The named executive officers who were allocated units under the Cash Plan, and the respective number of units allocated, are set forth in the table below. The number of units allocated under the Cash Plan for Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio exceeds the number of units allocated for the other named executive officers due to a higher level of responsibility.
     
Named Executive Officer   Cash Plan Units
 
Robert A. Ortenzio
  35,000
Rocco A. Ortenzio
  25,000
Patricia A. Rice
  15,000
Martin F. Jackson
  7,000
     As described more fully in the Section below entitled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” the named executive officers listed in the table above will forfeit units under the Cash Plan upon termination of employment for any reason other than for death or disability.
Equity Compensation
     In connection with the Company’s becoming a privately owned corporation in 2005, described in “Business — “The Merger Transactions,” the Company and Holdings sought to encourage meaningful long-term contribution to the Company’s future financial success by our executive officers. Accordingly, Holdings established the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, or Equity Plan, to provide certain of our employees, including our executive officers, and employees of our subsidiaries with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of Holdings stockholders. In February 2005, grants of common stock of Holdings subject to forfeiture upon certain events, were made to certain employees, including Mr. Rocco Ortenzio, Mr. Robert Ortenzio, Ms. Rice, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Romberger. The terms of the February 2005 grants vary somewhat for each of the named executive officers, due to the negotiations that took place in connection with the Transactions. Mr. Rocco Ortenzio’s grant was fully vested upon grant and Mr. Robert Ortenzio’s grant was subject to a three-year vesting schedule. The other named executive officers’ grants each vest over a period of five years from the date of grant, conditioned upon continued employment.
     No grants were made to named executive officers under the Equity Plan in 2006 based on the compensation committee’s determination that the named executive officers possess a sufficient ownership

interest in the Company and are sufficiently motivated by the Company’s bonus compensation programs to continue to contribute to the Company’s financial performance.
     As set forth in the tabular disclosure that follows, however, a portion of each of the 2005 restricted stock grants for all named executive officers, except for Mr. Rocco Ortenzio, whose restricted stock was fully vested upon grant, as described above, vested during fiscal year 2006.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
     The Company provides named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Company and the compensation committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The compensation committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers.
     The primary personal benefit the named executive officers are provided is the personal use of the Company’s aircraft at the Company’s expense. In recognition of their contributions to the Company, Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio and Ms. Rice are entitled to use the Company’s aircraft for personal reasons, and may be accompanied by friends and family members. Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio and Ms. Rice must recognize taxable compensation for the value of the personal use of the Company’s aircraft by themselves and their friends and family members. Messrs. Jackson and Romberger, along with other executive officers, may use the Company’s aircraft in connection with a personal emergency or bereavement matter with the prior approval of the Company’s Executive Chairman or Chief Executive Officer.
     The Company offers full reimbursement for the costs associated with an annual comprehensive physical exam for certain executive officers, including travel and accommodations, so that an executive officer who makes use of the Company’s physical exam benefit can be evaluated and receive diagnostic and preventive medical care.
     Attributed costs of the personal benefits described above for the named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, are included in the “Summary Compensation Table.”
General Benefits
     Our named executive officers are also eligible to participate in the Company’s group health and dental plans, including short term and long term disability, life insurance (at an amount up to 100% of base salary), and the Company’s 401(k) plan on the same terms and conditions as those plans are available to employees of the Company generally.
     In addition, if Ms Rice were to retire prior to age 65, the Company has agreed that part of Ms. Rice’s overall compensation would include the cost to the Company to provide continued health and dental insurance policies to Ms. Rice and her eligible dependents following her retirement until she attains age 65. Ms. Rice would be required, during the period that the Company provides such health and dental insurance policies, to make contributions toward the cost of such coverage at the same level required for employees who participate in the Company’s health and dental coverage.
Compensation Committee Report
     The compensation committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this report.

Narrative Discussion of Information in Summary Compensation Table
     The Summary Compensation Table, set forth above, summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by each named executive officer for the 2006 fiscal year. None of the named executive officers received grants of plan-based awards during 2006. As described below, certain of the payments set forth in the tables above are made pursuant to contractual agreements with the named executive officers.
Employment Agreements
     Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio and Ms. Rice, are party to employment agreements with the Company which renew for successive one year terms on each March 1, unless earlier terminated. Some of the material terms of those agreements are described below. Each agreement provides for severance upon termination of employment following a change in control, as described under the Section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below. In addition, such agreements require the Company to pay each such executive base salary and a pro-rated bonus for the remainder of the then-current term upon termination without cause or for good reason, provided that such executive adheres to the restrictive covenants contained in such agreement; such payments and terms are also described under the section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below.
     Messrs. Jackson and Romberger are employees-at-will, and accordingly, elements of their annual compensation are subject to review and adjustment by the compensation committee. Mr. Romberger’s base salary was increased by $18,000 in 2006.
Rocco A. Ortenzio
     The Company and Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio, a co-founder of the Company, are parties to an employment agreement, dated as of March 1, 2000, as subsequently amended, which is currently effective. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio is entitled to an annual base salary of $800,000 subject to adjustment by the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio’s base salary was upwardly adjusted by the board of directors until 2003 and has not been increased since.
     Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio is also eligible for bonus compensation under his employment agreement, however the Company’s bonus plan for certain executive officers, described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above, is the exclusive mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio.
     Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio’s employment agreement also provides that if he is terminated due to his disability, the Company must make salary continuation payments to him equal to 100% of his annual base salary for ten years after his date of termination or until he is physically able to become gainfully employed in an occupation consistent with his education, training and experience.
     Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio is entitled to up to six weeks paid vacation per year under the terms of his employment agreement.
Robert A. Ortenzio
     The Company and Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio, a co-founder of the Company, are parties to an employment agreement, dated as of March 1, 2000, as subsequently amended, which is currently effective. Pursuant to the terms of his

employment agreement, Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio is entitled to an annual base salary of $800,000, subject to adjustment by the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio’s base salary was upwardly adjusted by the board of directors until 2003 and has not been increased since.
     Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio is also eligible for bonus compensation under his employment agreement, however the Company’s bonus plan for certain executive officers, described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above, is the exclusive mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio.
     Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio’s employment agreement also provides that if he is terminated due to his disability, the Company must make salary continuation payments to him equal to 50% of his annual base salary for ten years after his date of termination or until he is physically able to become gainfully employed in an occupation consistent with his education, training and experience.
     Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio is entitled to up to six weeks paid vacation per year under the terms of his employment agreement.
Patricia A. Rice
     The Company and Ms. Rice are parties to an employment agreement, effective as of March 1, 2000, as subsequently amended, which is currently effective. Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Rice serves as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer and is entitled to an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to adjustment by the Company’s board of directors. Ms. Rice’s base salary was upwardly adjusted by the board of directors until 2003 and has not been increased since.
     Ms. Rice is also eligible for bonus compensation under her employment agreement, however the Company’s bonus plan for certain executive officers, described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above, is the exclusive mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Ms. Rice.
     Ms. Rice’s employment agreement also provides that if she is terminated due to her disability, the Company must make salary continuation payments to her equal to 50% of her annual base salary for ten years after her date of termination or until she is physically able to become gainfully employed in an occupation consistent with her education, training and experience.
     Ms. Rice is entitled to up to four weeks paid vacation per year under the terms of her employment agreement.
     Finally, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, above, if Ms. Rice retires before the age of 65, she is entitled to Company-provided health and dental insurance coverage for herself and her eligible dependents, following her retirement until she attains age 65. Ms. Rice would be required to contribute to the cost of such coverage at the same level required for employees who participate in the Company’s health and dental coverage.
Restricted Stock
     Each named executive officer is party to a Restricted Stock Agreement with Holdings pursuant to Holdings’ 2005 Equity Plan. The amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table, above, reflect the FAS 123R expense for fiscal year 2006 recognized by the Company with respect to such awards. No such expense was recorded for Mr. Rocco Ortenzio’s award because the restricted stock award was fully vested prior to 2006. According to each agreement and the Equity Plan, shares of restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the participant until the satisfaction of conditions set by the administrator and may be

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
     Named executives who are party to employment agreements or change in control agreements with the Company may be entitled to certain payments upon termination of employment or a change in control, as described below. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Cash Plan, in the event of a change in control or public offering of Holdings, each of the named executive officers who participates in the Cash Plan is entitled to payment of all or a portion of the value of his or her units, as described below.

Table of Contents

Termination of Employment
     Pursuant to the employment agreements between the Company and Messrs. Robert and Rocco Ortenzio and Ms. Rice, upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the executive officer for good reason, each such named executive officer is entitled to receive his or her base salary for the remainder of the then-current term of employment plus a pro rated bonus for the year of termination, and any unvested and unexercised stock options will vest immediately. As a condition to receiving such payments, however, each executive has agreed that for the term of the agreement and for two years after the termination of employment, the executive may not participate in any business that competes with the Company within a twenty-five mile radius of any of our hospitals or outpatient rehabilitation clinics. The executive also may not solicit any of our employees for one year after the termination of the executive’s employment. In addition to the payments described above, in the event of Ms. Rice’s retirement, she is entitled to continued health and dental benefits for herself and her eligible dependents until she attains age 65.
     Certain named executive officers are also entitled to receive salary continuation in the event of termination of employment by reason of disability, at the rate of 100% of base salary for Mr. Rocco Ortenzio, and 50% of base salary for each of Mr. Robert Ortenzio and Ms. Rice. Such salary continuation is payable for a period of up to 10 years, subject to earlier termination if the executive becomes physically able to resume employment in an occupation consistent with his or her education, training and experience. In addition, in the event of death or disability, the named executive officers who participate in the Cash Plan are also entitled to retain 50% of the units granted to them under the Cash Plan. However, Holdings is not required to make any payments on such units until a liquidity event or a preferred stock dividend.
     In addition, each named executive officer who has been granted restricted stock that is not fully vested as of such termination is entitled to accelerated vesting of his or her restricted stock upon termination by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason.
     Set forth in the table below are the amounts that would be payable to each of the named executive officers upon termination of employment for the reasons specified therein, assuming that such termination occurred on December 31, 2006.

(1) There is no market for Holdings’ common stock. Accordingly, the amounts reported in the “Equity Vesting Value” columns above reflect the full vesting of unvested restricted stock upon an executive officer’s death or disability. The value of Holdings’ common equity was estimated at $1.00 per share. Such estimate was based on, among other things, the price at which the stock was sold in 2005 and a recent transaction by Holdings to repurchase common stock from a former employee for $1.00 per share.
(2) The amount reported in this column represents the amount of salary continuation payable each year for ten years following the date of termination of employment for disability, subject to termination if the named executive officer becomes re-employed.
(3) The value reported in this column reflects the Company’s current cost of providing health and dental coverage to Ms. Rice and her eligible dependents for one year. The Company is responsible for paying

- 77 -


Table of Contents

the costs of health and dental coverage for Ms. Rice and her eligible dependents (less her portion of the premiums) each year until Ms. Rice reaches the age of 65. The actual cost to the Company of providing such benefits following Ms. Rice’s retirement will depend on the rates of the carrier selected and accordingly may be more than the amount reported.
Change in Control
     If, within the one-year period immediately following a change in control of the Company, we terminate either or Messrs. Rocco or Robert Ortenzio without cause or either of such executive officers terminates his employment for any reason, we are obligated under the terms of each of their employment agreements to pay each of them a lump sum cash payment equal to their respective base salary plus bonus for the previous three completed calendar years. If, within the one-year period immediately following a change in control of the Company, Ms. Rice terminates her employment for certain specified reasons or, within the five-year period immediately following a change in control, is terminated without cause, has her compensation reduced from that in effect prior to the change in control or is relocated to a location more than 25 miles from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, we are obligated under the terms of her employment agreement to pay her a lump sum cash payment equal to her base salary plus bonus for the previous three completed calendar years. In addition, if any of these executives are terminated within one year of a change in control, any of their unvested and unexercised stock options will vest as of the date of termination. A change in control is generally defined to include: (i) the acquisition by a person or group, other than our current stockholders who own 12% or more of the common stock, of more than 50% of our total voting shares; (ii) a business combination following which there is an increase in share ownership by any person or group, other than the executive or any group of which the executive is a part, by an amount equal to or greater than 33% of our total voting shares; (iii) our current directors, or any director elected after the date of the respective employment agreement whose election was approved by a majority of the then current directors, cease to constitute at least a majority of our board; (iv) a business combination following which our stockholders cease to own shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation; or (v) a sale of substantially all of our assets other than to an entity controlled by our shareholders prior to the sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change in control will be deemed to have occurred unless the transaction provides our stockholders with a specified level of consideration.
     On March 1, 2000, we entered into change of control agreements with Martin F. Jackson and Scott A. Romberger, which were each amended on February 23, 2001 and February 24, 2005. These agreements provide that if within a five-year period immediately following a change in control of our Company, we terminate Mr. Jackson or Mr. Romberger without cause, reduce either of their compensation from that in effect prior to the change in control or relocate Mr. Jackson or Mr. Romberger to a location more than 25 miles from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, we are obligated to pay the affected individual a lump sum cash payment equal to his base salary plus bonus for the previous three completed calendar years. If at the time we terminate Mr. Jackson or Mr. Romberger without cause or Mr. Jackson or Mr. Romberger terminates his employment for good reason in connection with a change in control, Mr. Jackson or Mr. Romberger has been employed by us for less than three years, we must pay the terminated individual three times his average total annual cash compensation (base salary and bonus) for his years of service. In addition, the agreements provide that all unvested stock options will vest upon termination. A change in control has the same definition as in the employment agreements of Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and Patricia A. Rice, as described above.
     In addition, each named executive officer who has been granted restricted stock that is not fully vested as of a change in control or qualified public offering is entitled to accelerated vesting. In the event of a qualified public offering, 50% of the then-unvested restricted stock would vest, and in the event of a change in control 100% of the then-unvested restricted stock would vest.
     Pursuant to the terms of the Cash Plan, upon a change in control of Holdings or a qualified initial public offering, each named executive officer who is eligible to participate in the Cash Plan may receive full payment with respect to his or her units.

(1) There is no market for Holdings’ common stock. Accordingly, the amount reported in the column “Equity Vesting (100%)” reflects the full vesting of unvested restricted stock upon a change in control. The value of Holdings’ common equity was estimated at $1.00 per share. Such estimate was based on, among other things, the price at which the stock was sold in 2005 and a recent transaction by Holdings to repurchase common stock from a former employee for $1.00 per share.
(2) In the event that, prior to a change in control, a named executive officer terminated employment due to death or disability, such Executive would have forfeited 50% of his or her units under the Cash Plan, and accordingly would receive 50% of the amount reported in the “Cash Plan Payout” column above.
(3) Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with Messrs. Robert and Rocco Ortenzio and Ms. Rice and the change of control agreements with Messrs. Jackson and Romberger, the Company will pay each named executive a tax gross-up in the event any change in control payments constitute “excess parachute payments” for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Based on a December 31, 2006 change of control and the estimated value of Holdings’ common stock, only Ms. Rice would be entitled to such a payment, estimated to be $1,579,275.

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Arrangements with Our Investors
     In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, Welsh Carson, Thoma Cressey and their co-investors and our continuing investors, including Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio, Russell L. Carson and other individuals affiliated with Welsh Carson, Bryan C. Cressey, Patricia A. Rice, Martin F. Jackson, S. Frank Fritsch, Michael E. Tarvin, James J. Talalai and Scott A. Romberger, entered into agreements with Holdings as described below.
Stock Subscription and Exchange Agreement
     Pursuant to a stock subscription and exchange agreement, in connection with the Transactions the investors purchased shares of Holdings’ preferred stock and common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $570.0 million in cash plus rollover shares of Select common stock (with such rollover shares being valued at $152.0 million in the aggregate, or $18.00 per share, for such purposes). Our continuing investors purchased shares of Holdings stock at the same price and on the same terms as our sponsors and their co-investors. Upon consummation of the Merger, all rollover shares were cancelled without payment of any merger consideration.
     In July 2005, Mr. Chernow purchased 2,973.98 shares of preferred stock and 20,000 shares of common stock of Holdings for an aggregate of $100,000; Mr. Dalton purchased 7,434.94 shares of preferred stock and 50,000 shares of common stock of Holdings for an aggregate of $250,000; and Mr. Swergold purchased 29,739.78 shares of preferred stock and 200,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $1,000,000.
     On September 29, 2005, we incurred $14.5 million of expense in connection with a payment of $14.2 million to certain members of management under the Cash Plan as a result of a special dividend paid to holders of Holdings preferred stock with the proceeds of the $175.0 million senior floating rate notes issued by Holdings. The balance of the $14.5 million expense resulted from the employer’s portion of the payroll taxes associated with the payment to management.
Stockholders Agreement and Equity Registration Rights Agreement
     The stockholders agreement entered into by Holdings’ investors in connection with the Transactions contains certain restrictions on the transfer of equity securities of Holdings and provides certain stockholders with certain preemptive and information rights. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, Holdings granted certain of our investors’ rights to require Holdings to register shares of common stock under the Securities Act.
Securities Purchase Agreement and Debt Registration Rights Agreement
     In connection with the Transactions, Holdings, WCAS Capital Partners IV, L.P., Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and certain other investors who are members of or affiliated with the Ortenzio family entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which they purchased senior subordinated notes and shares of preferred and common stock from Holdings for an aggregate $150.0 million purchase price. In connection with such investment, these investors entered into the stockholders and registration rights agreements referred to under “— Stockholders Agreement and Equity Registration Rights Agreement” with respect to the Holdings’ equity securities acquired by them and a separate registration rights agreement with Holdings that granted these investors rights to require Holdings to register the senior subordinated notes acquired by them under the Securities Act under certain circumstances.

Transaction Fee
     In connection with the Transactions, an aggregate $24.6 million in financing fees was paid to our sponsors (or affiliates thereof) and to certain of our other continuing investors in connection with the Transactions and we reimbursed Welsh Carson and its affiliates for their out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Transactions.
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
     On June 2, 2005, Holdings and Rocco A. Ortenzio entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, pursuant to which a warrant previously granted to Mr. Ortenzio was cancelled and Mr. Ortenzio was awarded shares of Holdings’ common stock.
Other Arrangements with Directors and Executive Officers
Lease of Office Space
     We lease our corporate office space at 4716, 4718 and 4720 Old Gettysburg Road, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, from Old Gettysburg Associates, Old Gettysburg Associates II and Old Gettysburg Associates III. Old Gettysburg Associates and Old Gettysburg Associates III are general partnerships that are owned by Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and John M. Ortenzio. Old Gettysburg Associates II is a general partnership owned by Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio, John M. Ortenzio and Select Capital Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation whose principal offices are located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio, Martin J. Ortenzio and John M. Ortenzio each own 25% of Select Capital Corporation. We obtained independent appraisals at the time we executed leases with these partnerships which support the amount of rent we pay for this space. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we paid to these partnerships an aggregate amount of $2,303,300, for office rent, for various improvements to our office space and miscellaneous expenses. Our current lease for 43,919 square feet of office space at 4716 Old Gettysburg Road and our lease for 12,225 square feet of office space at 4718 Old Gettysburg Road expire on December 31, 2014.
     On May 15, 2001 we entered into a lease for 7,214 square feet of additional office space at 4720 Old Gettysburg Road in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania which expires on December 31, 2014. We amended this lease on February 26, 2002 to add a net of 4,200 square feet of office space. On October 29, 2003, we entered into leases for an additional 3,008 square feet of office space at 4718 Old Gettysburg Road for a five year initial term at $17.40 per square foot, and an additional 8,644 square feet of office space at 4720 Old Gettysburg Road for a five year initial term at $18.01 per square foot.
     We currently pay approximately $1,992,122 per year in rent for the office space leased from these three partnerships. We amended our lease for office space at 4718 Old Gettysburg Road on February 19, 2004 to relinquish a net of 695 square feet of office space. On March 19, 2004, we entered into leases for an additional 2,436 square feet of office space at 4718 Old Gettysburg Road from Old Gettysburg Associates for a three year initial term at $19.31 per square foot, and an additional 2,579 square feet of office space at 4720 Old Gettysburg Road from Old Gettysburg Associates II for a five-year initial term at $18.85 per square foot.
     On August 10, 2005, we entered into a lease for approximately 8,615 square feet of additional office space at 4720 Old Gettysburg Road in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania with Old Gettysburg Associates II.
Equity Incentive Plan
     Holdings has adopted a restricted stock and option plan, which we refer to as the equity plan. Members of our management, including some of those who participated in the Transactions as continuing

investors, received awards under the equity plan. The equity plan was amended and restated in November 2005. Pursuant to the amended and restated equity plan, on November 8, 2005 Holdings awarded to Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio restricted stock awards in the amount of 3,750,000 and 5,250,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock, respectively. The restricted stock award granted to Rocco A. Ortenzio is not subject to vesting, and the restricted stock award granted to Robert A. Ortenzio is subject to ratable monthly vesting over a three-year period from the date of grant. See “Executive Compensation — Restricted Stock and Option Plan.”
Non-Employee Director Plan
     On August 10, 2005, the board of directors of Holdings authorized a director stock option plan (the “Director Plan”) for non-employee directors. 250,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock were reserved for awards under the Director Plan. On November 8, 2005, the board of directors of Holdings formally approved the previously authorized stock option plan for non-employee directors, under which Holdings can issue options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock. See “Executive Compensation — Non-Employee Director Plan.”
Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan
     Holdings has adopted a long-term cash incentive plan, which we refer to as the Cash Plan. Participants under the Cash Plan will receive cash payments in respect of awards issued under the plan to the extent Holdings exceeds targeted returns on invested equity as of a liquidity event, such as a sale of our Company or an initial public offering by Holdings, within a specified number of years or upon the redemption of Holdings’ preferred stock or special dividends on Holdings’ preferred stock. On September 29, 2005, we incurred $14.5 million of expense in connection with a payment of $14.2 million to certain members of management under the Cash Plan as a result of a special dividend paid to holders of Holdings preferred stock with the proceeds of the $175.0 million senior floating rate notes issued by Holdings. The balance of the $14.5 million expense resulted from the employer’s portion of the payroll taxes associated with the payment to management. See “Executive Compensation — Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan.”
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
     Holdings has also adopted an employee stock purchase plan pursuant to which specified employees of Select (other than members of its senior management team) were given the opportunity to purchase shares of Holdings preferred stock and common stock. See “Executive Compensation — Employee Stock Purchase Plan.”
2007 Incentive Compensation Plan
     On February 13, 2007, the compensation committee of our board of directors and the board of directors of Holdings adopted the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan Matrix for purposes of determining senior executives’ bonus under the bonus plan. Each of the senior executives eligible to participate in the bonus plan has a bonus target expressed as a percentage of the senior executive’s base salary paid during the year. The target bonus percentage for each of the named executive officers who participate in the bonus plan was set as follows:
         
Name of Executive   Target Bonus Percentage
Rocco A. Ortenzio
    80 %
Robert A. Ortenzio
    80 %
Patricia A. Rice
    50 %
Martin F. Jackson
    50 %
          Under the 2007 bonus plan, actual awards can range from 0% to 250% of the senior executive’s target bonus percentage amount times a senior executive’s base salary, depending on our

- 85 -


Table of Contents

financial performance in 2007 as compared to pre-determined goals for return on equity and earnings per share. If we do not achieve our performance goal for either return on equity or earnings per share in 2007, no awards will be made under the bonus plan. If both of the performance goals are met in 2007, the senior executives eligible to participate in the bonus plan will receive cash awards equal to the target bonus percentage listed above times the senior executive’s base salary. If one or both of the performance goals are exceeded, the participants may receive cash awards greater than the target bonus percentage listed above, up to a maximum cash award of 250% of such target bonus percentage multiplied by such senior executive’s base salary, depending upon by what amount each of the performance goals are exceeded. For example, a senior executive whose target bonus percentage is 50% is eligible to receive a cash award equal to 125% of the senior executive’s base salary if the maximum cash award of 250% is achieved (i.e., 250% times 50% equals 125%).
Approval of Related Party Transactions
We do not have a formal written policy for review and approval of transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. However, our practice is that any such transaction must receive the prior approval of both the audit committee and a majority of the non-interested members of the board of directors. In addition, it is our practice that, prior to any related party transaction of the type described under “Other Arrangements with Directors and Executive Officers — Lease of Office Space,” an independent third-party appraisal is obtained that supports the amount of rent that we are obligated to pay for such leased space.
Director Independence
We believe that each of Messrs. Chernow, Dalton and Swergold would satisfy the independence standards set forth in Section 303A.02 of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange were those rules applicable to the Company. We do not believe that the other members of the audit committee, Messrs. Cressey and Traynor, and the other members of the compensation committee, Messrs. Carson, Cressey, Rocco Ortenzio and Robert Ortenzio, or Mr. Scully would currently satisfy the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange were those rules applicable to the Company.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Business Description
Select Medical Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) was formed in December 1996 and commenced operations during February 1997 upon the completion of its first acquisition. The Company provides long-term acute care hospital services and inpatient acute rehabilitative hospital care through its Select Specialty Hospital division and provides physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services through its Outpatient division. The Company’s specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients in the Company’s long-term acute care hospitals typically suffer from serious and often complex medical conditions that require a high degree of care. Patients in the Company’s acute medical rehabilitation hospitals typically suffer from debilitating injuries including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, and require rehabilitation care in the form of physical, psychological, social and vocational rehabilitation services. The Company’s outpatient rehabilitation business consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. The Company’s outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living. The Company operated 86, 101 and 96 specialty hospitals at December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company operated 741, 717 and 544 outpatient clinics, respectively. At December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company had operations in the District of Columbia and 36, 35 and 32 states, respectively. Also, at December 31, 2004 and 2005 the Company had operations in Canada through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canadian Back Institute Limited, which was sold on March 1, 2006
(Footnote 3).
On February 24, 2005, the Company merged with a subsidiary of Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”), formerly known as EGL Holding Company, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Generally accepted accounting principles require that any amounts recorded or incurred (such as goodwill and compensation expense) by the parent as a result of the Merger or for the benefit of the subsidiary be “pushed down” and recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s financial position and results of operations prior to the Merger are presented separately in the consolidated financial statements as “Predecessor” financial statements, while the Company’s financial position and results of operations following the Merger are presented as “Successor” financial statements. Due to the revaluation of assets as a result of purchase accounting associated with the Merger, the pre-Merger financial statements are not comparable with those after the Merger in certain respects.

Merger and Related Transactions
On February 24, 2005, the Merger transaction was consummated and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Holdings is owned by an investor group that includes Welsh, Carson, Anderson, & Stowe, IX, LP (“Welsh Carson”), Thoma Cressey Bravo (“Thoma Cressey”) and members of the Company’s senior management. In the transaction, all of the former stockholders (except for certain members of management and other rollover investors) of Select Medical Corporation received $18.00 per share in cash for common stock of the Company. Holders of stock options issued by the Company received cash equal to (a) $18.00 minus the exercise price of the option multiplied by (b) the number of shares subject to the options. After the Merger, the Company’s common stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The Merger and related transactions are referred to in this report as the “Merger.”
The funds necessary to consummate the Merger were approximately $2,291.1 million, including approximately $1,827.7 million to pay the then current stockholders and option holders, approximately $344.2 million to repay existing indebtedness and approximately $119.2 million to pay related fees and expenses.
The Merger transactions were financed by:
  a cash common and preferred equity investment in Holdings by Welsh Carson and other equity investors of $570.0 million, which funds were contributed to the Company;
 
  a senior subordinated notes offering by Holdings of $150.0 million, which funds were contributed to the Company;
 
  borrowing by the Company of $580.0 million in term loans and $200.0 million on the revolving loan facility under a new senior secured credit facility;
 
  the issuance by the Company of $660.0 million in aggregate principle amount of 75/8% senior subordinated notes; and
 
  $131.1 million of cash on hand at the closing date.
The Merger transactions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS No. 141”). As a result of a 26% continuing ownership interest in the Company by certain stockholders (“Continuing Stockholders”), 74% of the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired at their respective fair values with the remaining 26% recorded at the Continuing Stockholders’ historical book values as of the date of the acquisition in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 88-16 “Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transactions” (“EITF 88-16”). As a result of the carryover of the Continuing Stockholders’ historical basis, stockholders’ equity of the Company has been reduced by $449.5 million, which includes a revision to the original adjustment of $8.7 million recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2005,

with a corresponding reduction in the amount assigned to long-lived assets, including goodwill. The Company concluded that this adjustment of $8.7 million had an immaterial effect on stockholders’ equity at February 25, 2005.
The purchase price, including transaction-related fees, was allocated to the Company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon estimates of fair value, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), no amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill has been recorded. The factors that were considered when determining the purchase price and that resulted in goodwill included the long-term growth and earnings prospects for the Company. The Company believed that as a private company, the management would be better able to concentrate on the regulatory changes affecting its business and make long-term investment and operational decisions that would be harder to execute as a public company, where there is greater focus on quarter-to-quarter performance.

Unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 as if the Merger occurred as of January 1, 2004 are as follows (in thousands):
                 
    For the Year Ended December 31,

In connection with the Merger, the Company incurred Merger related charges of $152.5 million related to stock compensation expense which were comprised of $142.2 million related to the purchase of all vested and unvested outstanding stock options in connection with the Merger in the Predecessor period of January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 and an additional $10.3 million of stock compensation cost related to restricted stock and stock options that were issued in the Successor period February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Also incurred were costs of $42.7 million related to the early extinguishment of the Company’s 9 1/2% and 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes which consisted of a tender premium cost of $34.8 million and the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.9 million. In addition, $12.0 million of other Merger related charges were incurred. These charges consisted of the fees of the investment advisor hired by the Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors to evaluate the Merger, legal and accounting fees, costs associated with the Hart-Scott-Rodino filing and costs associated with purchasing a six year extended reporting period under the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy.
The carrying value of the reported goodwill is subject to impairment tests under the requirements of SFAS No. 142. Goodwill was allocated to each of the Company’s reporting units based on their fair values at the date of the Merger. The Company performs impairment tests at least annually, or more frequently with respect to assets for which there are any impairment indicators. If the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the carrying amount of such assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships the Company and its subsidiaries control through ownership of general and limited partnership or membership interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash used to establish a trust fund, as required by the Company’s insurance program, for the purpose of paying professional and general liability losses and expenses incurred by the Company.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients. Collection of these accounts receivable is the Company’s primary source of cash and is critical to its operating performance. The Company’s primary collection risks relate to non-governmental payors who insure these patients and deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient. Deductible, co-payments and self-insured amounts are an immaterial portion of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance. Deductible, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient accounted for approximately 0.9% of the net accounts receivable balance before doubtful accounts at December 31, 2005 and 2006. The Company’s general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for a patient admitted to the Company’s hospitals or in the case of the Company’s outpatient rehabilitation clinics, the Company verifies insurance coverage prior to their first therapy visit. The Company’s estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by generally reserving as uncollectible all governmental accounts over 365 days and non-governmental accounts over 180 days from discharge. This method is monitored based on historical cash collections experience. Collections are impacted by the effectiveness of the Company’s collection efforts with non-governmental payors and regulatory or administrative disruptions with the fiscal intermediaries that pay the Company’s governmental receivables.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company believes that it collects substantially all of its third-party insured receivables (net of contractual allowances) which include receivables from governmental agencies. To date, the Company believes there has not been a material difference between bad debt allowances and the ultimate historical collection rates on accounts receivables. The Company reviews its overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of net revenue less the provision for bad debts.
Uncollected accounts are written off the balance sheet when they are turned over to an outside collection agency, or when management determines that the balance is uncollectible, whichever occurs first.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, as appropriate. The general range of useful lives is as follows:
         
Leasehold improvements
  5 years
Furniture and equipment
  3 – 20 years
Buildings
  40 years
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), the Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded costs may not be recoverable.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and trade receivables. The Company invests its excess cash with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements. Because of the geographic diversity of the Company’s facilities and non-governmental third-party payors, Medicare represents the Company’s only concentration of credit risk.

Income Taxes
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. Management provides a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion of such net deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to periodic amortization but are instead reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. These reviews require the Company to estimate the fair value of its identified reporting units and compare those estimates against the related carrying values. For each of the reporting units, the estimated fair value is determined utilizing the expected present value of the future cash flows of the units.
Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations accounted for under the purchase method are recorded at their respective fair values. Deferred income taxes have been recorded to the extent of differences between the fair value and the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Company management has allocated the intangible assets between identifiable intangibles and goodwill. Intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consist of the values assigned to trademarks, non-compete agreements, certificates of need, accreditation and contract therapy relationships. Management believes that the estimated useful lives established are reasonable based on the economic factors applicable to each of the intangible assets.
The approximate useful life of each class of intangible asset is as follows:
     
Goodwill
  Indefinite
Trademarks
  Indefinite
Certificates of need
  Indefinite
Accreditation
  Indefinite
Non-compete agreements
  6-7 years
Contract therapy relationships
  5 years
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), the Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets, certain intangible assets and goodwill whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded costs may not be recoverable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
If the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the carrying amount of such assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value.
Due to Third-Party Payors
Due to third-party payors represents the difference between amounts received under interim payment plans from third-party payors, principally Medicare and Medicaid, for services rendered and amounts estimated to be reimbursed by those third-party payors upon settlement of cost reports.
Insurance Risk Programs
Under a number of the Company’s insurance programs, which include the Company’s employee health insurance program, its workers’ compensation insurance programs and certain components under its property and casualty insurance program, the Company is liable for a portion of its losses. In these cases the Company accrues for its losses under an occurrence-based principle whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrues that estimated liability. Where the Company has substantial exposure, actuarial methods are utilized in estimating the losses. In cases where the Company has minimal exposure, losses are estimated by analyzing historical trends. These programs are monitored quarterly and estimates are revised as necessary to take into account additional information. At December 31, 2005 and 2006 respectively, the Company had recorded a liability of $55.7 million and $60.0 million related to these programs. These amounts include accrued professional liability which is reported separately on the Company’s balance sheet.
Minority Interests
The interests held by other parties in subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships owned and controlled by the Company are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as minority interests. Minority interests reported in the consolidated statements of operations reflect the respective interests in the income or loss of the subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships attributable to the other parties, the effect of which is removed from the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Stock Options
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) in the Successor period beginning on February 25, 2005. As permitted by SFAS No. 123R under the Modified Prospective Application transition method the Company has chosen to apply APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans in the Predecessor period from January 1, 2005 through February 24, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for options granted under the Predecessor stock option plans.
The fair value of each option grant under the Predecessor plans is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming dividend yield of 0.20%, volatility of 45%, an expected life of four years from the date of vesting and a risk free interest rate of 3.1% in 2004.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma net earnings were as follows:
                 
    Predecessor
            Period from January 1
    For the Year Ended   through February 24,
    December 31, 2004   2005

Revenue Recognition
Net operating revenues consists primarily of patient and contract therapy revenues and are recognized as services are rendered.
Patient service revenue is reported net of provisions for contractual allowances from third-party payors and patients. The Company has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the Company at amounts different from its established billing rates. The differences between the estimated program reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates are accounted for as contractual adjustments, which are deducted from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges, per diem and per visit payments. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Accounts receivable resulting from such payment arrangements are recorded net of contractual allowances.
A significant portion of the Company’s net operating revenues are generated directly from the Medicare program. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 50% of the Company’s consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, 52% for the period January 1 through February 24, 2005, 57% for the period February 25 through December 31, 2005 and 53% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Approximately 44% and 38% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, are from this payor source. As a provider of services to the Medicare program, the Company is subject to extensive regulations. The inability of any of the Company’s specialty hospitals or clinics to comply with regulations can result in changes in that specialty hospital’s or clinic’s net operating revenues generated from the Medicare program.
Contract therapy revenues are comprised primarily of billings for services rendered to nursing homes, hospitals, schools and other third parties under the terms of contractual arrangements with these entities.

Other Comprehensive Income
The Company used the local currency as the functional currency for its Canadian operations. All assets and liabilities of foreign operations were translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income statement items were translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments impacting comprehensive income were recorded was a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive income and was a gain of $1.8 million at December 31, 2005. The Company sold its Canadian operations on March 1, 2006 and removed the accumulated other comprehensive income related to the cumulative translation adjustment. This component of other comprehensive income was included in the calculation of the gain on the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations.
Also included in other comprehensive income at December 31, 2005 and 2006 were gains of $2.4, net of tax of $1.7 million and $2.9 million, net of tax of $2.0 million on the interest rate swap, respectively.
Financial Instruments and Hedging
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”). The Company has in the past entered into derivatives to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Derivatives are limited in use and not entered into for speculative purposes. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on a portion of its long-term borrowings and required dividend payments to Holdings to fund the interest payment required on Holdings’ $175.0 million senior floating rate notes. Interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge treatment in accordance with SFAS No. 133 are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet and the related gains or losses are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income. These deferred gains or losses are then amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income. For interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge treatment gains or losses are recognized through the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company did not have any interest rate swap arrangements at December 31, 2004. Refer to Note 14 for information regarding swaps the Company entered into during 2005.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 was to permit all entities to choose to elect, at specified election

F-18

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
dates, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” An entity is prohibited from retrospectively applying SFAS No. 159, unless it chooses early adoption. SFAS No. 159 also applies to eligible items existing at November 15, 2007 (or early adoption date). The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial misstatements would not require amending previous filings; rather such corrections may be made in subsequent filings. The cumulative effect of initially applying SAB 108, if any, can be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. SAB 108 does not change the SEC staff’s previous positions regarding qualitative considerations in assessing the materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 was effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006. The implementation of SAB 108 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires the employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The

F-19

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
adoption of SFAS No. 158 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN No. 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 is an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS No. 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise’s tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition of tax positions. The recognition threshold and measurement attribute is part of a two step tax position evaluation process prescribed in FIN No. 48. FIN No. 48 is effective after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating its uncertain tax positions as required under the accounting standard in order to implement the new standard during the first quarter of 2007. Based upon the Company’s evaluation as of December 31, 2006, we do not believe that FIN 48 will have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of SFAS No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities associated with a transfer of assets (e.g., a sale of receivables) be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value and requires an entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated SFAS No. 156 and has determined that there is no impact to the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments, eliminates the FASB’s interim guidance which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and eliminates the restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5. Intangible Assets
Goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but instead are subject to periodic impairment evaluations under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Company’s most recent impairment assessment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2006, which indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets. With the exception of goodwill, the majority of the Company’s intangible assets are subject to amortization. The majority of the Company’s goodwill resides in its specialty hospital reporting unit. In performing periodic impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment condition exists, which results in an impairment loss equal to the excess carrying value. Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that might suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business environment, regulatory environment or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge. In May 2006, CMS released final annual payment rate updates for the 2007 LTCH-PPS year. This rule made several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts. As a result of these changes, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment in the third quarter of 2006, which indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets. For purposes of goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has defined its reporting units as specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy with goodwill having been allocated among reporting units based on the relative fair value of those divisions when the Merger occurred in 2005.
To determine the fair value of its reporting units, the Company used a discounted cash flow approach. Included in this analysis are assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, internal development of specialty hospitals and rehabilitation clinics, future EBITDA margin estimates, future selling, general and administrative expense rates and the industry’s weighted average cost of capital. The Company also must estimate residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires the Company to use its knowledge of (1) its industry, (2) its recent transactions, and (3) reasonable performance expectations for its operations. If any one of the above assumptions changes, in some cases insignificantly, or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in the Company’s estimated fair value could result in a material impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units.

On February 1, 2007, CMS published its proposed annual payment rate update for the 2008 LTCH-PPS rate year which begins on July 1, 2007. If the rule is adopted as proposed, several changes to LTCH-PPS payment methodologies and amounts will be implemented beginning on July 1, 2007. The final rule, which may differ from the proposed rule, is expected to be published in May 2007. When the Company performed its last impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2006, the fair value of its specialty hospital reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $32.0 million or 2%. If the Company determines that the final regulations will have a material adverse effect on its business, the Company will perform an impairment assessment to determine the effect, if any, on its recorded goodwill.

(1)   In conjunction with recording the gain on sale of the Canadian Back Institute Limited (“CBIL”) (Note 3), the Company determined that deferred taxes should have been recorded as of the date of the Merger related to differences between the Company’s book and tax investment basis in CBIL. Also during 2006, the Company determined that additional deferred taxes should have been recorded as of the date of the Merger related to a step-up in fair value of a fixed asset and a difference in timing related to the deductibility of an accrued expense. These adjustments are not considered to be material on a qualitative or quantitative basis.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
The Company’s senior secured credit facility provides for senior secured financing of up to $880.0 million, consisting of:
  §   A $300.0 million revolving credit facility that will terminate on February 24, 2011 including both a letter of credit sub facility and a swingline loan sub facility and;
 
  §   A $580.0 million term loan facility that matures on February 24, 2012 that was drawn at the closing of the Merger.
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swingline loans, under the Company’s senior secured credit facility is, at the Company’s option, equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate for a one, two, three or six month interest period, or a nine or twelve month period if available, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. The alternate base rate is the greater of (1) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate and (2) one half of 1% over the weighted average of rates on overnight Federal funds as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The adjusted LIBOR rate is determined by reference to settlement rates established for deposits in dollars in the London interbank market for a period equal to the interest period of the loan and the maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve to which the Company’s lenders are subject. The applicable margin percentage for revolving loans is currently (1) 1.00% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 2.00% for adjusted LIBOR loans subject to change based upon the ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness to its consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). The applicable margin percentages for the term loans are (1) 0.75% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 1.75% for adjusted LIBOR loans. The average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 6.6%.
On the last business day of each calendar quarter the Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitment under the revolving credit facility. The annual commitment fee is currently 0.375% and is subject to adjustment based upon the ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). Availability under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2006 was approximately $275.5 million. The Company is authorized to issue up to $50.0 million in letters of credit. Letters of credit reduce the capacity under the revolving credit facility and bear interest at applicable margins based on financial ratio tests. Approximately $24.5 million in letters of credit were outstanding at December 31, 2006.
The senior secured credit facility requires scheduled quarterly payments on the term loans each equal to $1.45 million per quarter through December 31, 2010, with the balance of the term loans paid in four equal quarterly installments thereafter.

The senior secured credit facility requires the Company to comply on a quarterly basis with certain financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio test and a maximum leverage ratio test, which financial covenants will become more restrictive over time (except as modified by Amendment No. 2 which is described below). In addition, the senior secured credit facility includes various negative covenants, including with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, permitted businesses and transactions and other matters, as well as certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the senior secured credit facility to be in full force and effect and change of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the senior secured credit facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. As of December 31, 2006, the Company is in compliance with all debt covenants in the senior secured credit facility.
The Company’s senior secured credit facility is guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of the Company’s current subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s future subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of its existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of its capital stock and the capital stock of its subsidiaries.
On March 19, 2007, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to its senior secured credit facility and on March 28, 2007 the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Amendment No. 2 increases the Company’s general exception to the prohibition on asset sales under the Company’s senior secured credit facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million, relaxes certain financial covenants starting March 31, 2007 and waives the Company’s requirement to prepay certain term loan borrowings following the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
The Incremental Facility Amendment provides to the Company an incremental term loan of $100.0 million, the proceeds of which the Company intends to use to pay a portion of the purchase price for the HealthSouth transaction.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On February 24, 2005, EGL Acquisition Corp. sold $660.0 million of 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due 2015 which the Company assumed in the Merger. The net proceeds of the offering were used to finance a portion of the Merger consideration as discussed in Note 1, refinance certain of the Company’s existing indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries did not guarantee the Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees of the Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors, including any borrowings or guarantees by those subsidiaries under the senior secured credit facility. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and senior to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

Senior Floating Rate Notes
     On September 29, 2005, Holdings sold $175.0 million of senior floating rate notes due 2015, which bear interest at a rate per annum, reset semi-annually, equal to the 6-month LIBOR plus 5.75%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, with the principal due in full on September 15, 2015. The floating rate notes are general unsecured obligations of Holdings and are not guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The net proceeds of the issuance of the senior floating rate notes, together with cash provided through a dividend from the Company, was used to reduce the amount of Holdings’ preferred stock, to make a payment to participants in Holdings’ long-term incentive plan, and to pay related fees and expenses. Holdings is a holding company, and as such, will rely on the Company’s cash flow to service this obligation.
8. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 23, 2004, the Predecessor Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $80.0 million of its common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 3,399,400 shares at a cost, including fees and commissions, of $48.1 million.
Common Stock
As part of the Merger, common stock of the Predecessor was retired. On February 25, 2005 the Company was capitalized by an equity contribution from Holdings with a book value of $422.5 million.
9. Long-Term Incentive Compensation
On June 2, 2005, Holdings adopted a Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (“cash plan”). The total number of units available under the cash plan for awards may not exceed 100,000. If any awards are terminated, forfeited or cancelled, units granted under such awards are available for award again under the cash plan. The purposes of the cash plan are to attract and retain key employees, motivate participating key employees to achieve the long-range goals of the Company, provide competitive incentive compensation opportunities and further align the interests of participating key employees with Holdings’ stockholders.
Payment of cash benefits is based upon (i) the value of the Company upon a change of control of Holdings or upon a qualified initial public offering of Holdings or (ii) a redemption of Holdings’ preferred stock or special dividends paid on Holdings’ preferred

stock. Until the occurrence of an event that would trigger the payment of cash on any outstanding units is deemed probable by the Company, no expense for any award is reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
As a result of the special dividend of $175.0 million paid to Holdings’ preferred stockholders on September 29, 2005, certain provisions of the Holdings’ long-term incentive compensation plan were met and resulted in a payment of $14.5 million to certain members of senior management of the Company. The expense of $14.5 million in long-term compensation was included in general and administrative expense in the period from February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
10. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans
Predecessor Stock Option Plans
All stock options related to the Predecessor stock incentive plans (Select Medical Corporation Second Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan and the 2002 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan) were canceled in connection with the Merger. Stock option holders received as consideration a cash payment equal to (i) $18.00 minus the exercise price of the option multiplied by (ii) the number of unexercised shares subject to the option (whether vested or not). The Company paid a total of $142.2 million in cash to stock option holders to cancel these options. Of this amount $115.0 million was paid to individuals that are classified as general and administrative positions and $27.2 million to individuals classified as cost of services positions.
Successor Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) in the Successor period beginning on February 25, 2005. Holdings, the Company’s parent, adopted the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The equity incentive plan provides for grants of restricted stock and stock options of Holdings. Because the Plan is for the benefit of the Company, any compensation expense related to awards under the plan are reflected in the Company’s financial statements, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital to reflect this contribution by Holdings.
Holdings granted 56,346,996 and 200,000 shares of common stock of Holdings as restricted stock awards during the period from February 25, 2005 through December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2006, Holdings cancelled 679,990 shares of common stock related to restricted stock awards. These awards range in value from $0.08 to $0.50 per share and generally vest over five years with a term not to exceed ten years. The fair value of the restricted stock awards were determined by using the price exchanged for common

stock of Holdings that occurred in close proximity to the issuance of restricted stock awards and then applying an estimated discount for the lack of control and lack of marketability of the restricted stock. Both the discount for lack of control and the discount for lack of marketability were estimated by using two methodologies to yield a range of results. The estimated range of discount for lack of control is 10% to 20% and the range of discount for lack of marketability is 35% to 40%. Compensation expense for each of the next five years, based on restricted stock awards granted as of December 31, 2006, is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):
                                         
    2007   2008   2009   2010   2011
Compensation expense
  $ 3,698     $ 2,111     $ 1,094     $ 203     $ 0  
Effective at the time of the Merger, Holdings granted stock options for shares of common stock to certain employees amounting to options to purchase 1,984,450 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In addition, on August 10, 2005 Holdings granted 60,000 options to non-employee directors under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors. During the year ended December 31, 2006, Holdings granted 1,912,385 shares under the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and 30,000 shares under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. In addition in 2006, 123,500 shares were cancelled under the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The options generally vest over five years and have an option term not to exceed ten years. The estimated fair value of an option to purchase one share ranges from $0.01 to $0.03. The fair value of the options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming an expected volatility of 45%, no dividend yield, an expected life of 3.5 years and a risk free rate of 3.7% in 2005 and expected volatility of 28%, no dividend yield, an expected life of 5 years and a risk free rate of 4.8% in 2006.

  $ 33,364     $ 11,892  
     
The valuation allowance is primarily attributable to the uncertainty regarding the realization of state net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets of loss entities. The net deferred tax assets of approximately $11.9 million consist of items which have been recognized for financial reporting purposes, but which will increase tax on returns to be filed in the future and include the use of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has performed the required assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This assessment included a review of legal entities with three years of cumulative losses, estimates of projected future taxable income and the impact of tax-planning strategies that management plans to implement. Although realization is not assured, based on the Company’s assessment, it has concluded that it is more likely than not that such assets, net of the existing valuation allowance, will be realized.

As a result of the acquisitions of Kessler Rehabilitation Corporation and SemperCare, Inc., the Company is subject to the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which provide for annual limitations on the deductibility of acquired net operating losses and certain tax deductions. These limitations apply until the earlier of utilization or expiration of the net operating losses. Additionally, if certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of the carryforwards that can be utilized.
The Company has total state net operating losses of approximately $395.0 million with various expirations.
The Company files a consolidated federal tax return with Holdings. Holdings primary asset is its investment in the Company. As a result, all tax payments are paid by the Company and the income tax payable reported on the balance sheet contains the estimated liability on the consolidated federal tax return for Holdings. Because Holdings, on a stand-alone basis, generates a loss for federal tax purposes resulting from its interest expense, the federal tax payable reported by the Company is lower than what would be reported if the Company filed its own consolidated federal tax return. The tax benefit of the loss from Holdings is reported as a contribution of capital.
12. Retirement Savings Plan
The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan for substantially all of its employees. Employees who are not classified as HCE’s (highly compensated employees) may contribute up to 30% of their salary; HCE’s may contribute up to 6% of their salary. The Company matches 50% of the first 6% of compensation employees contribute to the plan. The employees vest in the employer contributions over a three-year period beginning on the employee’s hire date. The expense incurred by the Company related to this plan was $6.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2004, $1.2 million for the period from January 1 through February 24, 2005, $7.0 million for the period from February 25 through December 31, 2005, and $9.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006.
13. Segment Information
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
The Company’s segments consist of (i) specialty hospitals and (ii) outpatient rehabilitation. All other represents amounts associated with corporate activities and non-healthcare related services. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of the interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. On June 13, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the Company’s interest rate risk for a portion of the Company’s term loans under its senior secured credit facility. The effective date of the swap transaction was August 22, 2005. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $200.0 million, and the underlying variable rate debt is associated with the senior secured credit facility. The variable interest rate of the debt was 7.1% and the fixed rate of the swap was 6.0% at December 31, 2006. The swap is for a period of five years, with resets quarterly on February 22, May 22, August 22 and November 22 of each year.
The interest rate swap has been designated as a hedge and qualified under the provision of SFAS No. 133 as an effective hedge. The interest rate swap is reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet and the related gain of $2.9 million, net of tax, was recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company will test for ineffectiveness whenever financial statements are issued or at least every three months using the Hypothetical Derivative Method.
On September 19, 2005, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement. The effective date of the swap transaction was September 29, 2005. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $175.0 million, and the underlying variable rate debt is associated with Holdings’ $175.0 million senior floating rate notes due 2015. The swap is for a period of four years, with semi-annual resets on March 15 and September 15 of each year.
This interest rate swap does not qualify under SFAS No. 133 as an effective hedge as the cash flow stream being hedged relates to required dividend payments to Holdings to fund interest payments on Holdings’ $175.0 million senior floating rate notes, resulting in a gain of $1.4 million being recognized in the other income section of the consolidated statement of operations.
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility which are not subject to the swap have variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. The carrying amount of this debt is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Other
In March 2000, the Company entered into three-year employment agreements with three of its executive officers. Under these agreements, the three executive officers currently receive a combined total annual salary of $2.1 million subject to adjustment by the Company’s Board of Directors. The employment agreements also contain a change in control provision and provides that the three executive officers will receive long-term disability insurance. At the end of each 12-month period beginning March 1, 2000, the term of each employment agreement automatically extends for an additional year unless one of the executives or the Company gives written notice to the other not less than three months prior to the end of that 12-month period that they do not want the term of the employment agreement to continue.
In addition in June 1997, the Company entered into an employment agreement with a member of senior management and in March 2000, the Company entered into a change in control agreement with two members of senior management.
A subsidiary of the Company has entered into a naming, promotional and sponsorship agreement with an NFL team for the team’s headquarters complex that requires a payment of $2.5 million in 2007. Each successive annual payment increases by 2.3% through 2025. The naming, promotional and sponsorship agreement is in effect until 2025.

Litigation
On August 24, 2004, Clifford C. Marsden and Ming Xu filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of the public stockholders of the Company against Martin F. Jackson, Robert A. Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Patricia A. Rice and the Company. In February 2005, the Court appointed James Shaver, Frank C. Bagatta and Capital Invest, die Kapitalanlagegesellschaft der Bank Austria Creditanstalt Gruppe GmbH as lead plaintiffs (“Lead Plaintiffs”).
On April 19, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders of the Company, against Martin F. Jackson, Robert A. Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, Patricia A. Rice, and the Company as defendants. The amended complaint continues to allege, among other things, failure to disclose adverse information regarding a potential regulatory change affecting reimbursement for the Company’s services applicable to long-term acute care hospitals operated as hospitals within hospitals, failure to disclose improper revenue practices and the issuance of false and misleading statements about the financial outlook of the Company. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, interest and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the allegations in the amended complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against this action. In April 2006, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company and the individual officers’ preliminary motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In February 2007, the Court vacated in part its previous decision on the Company’s and the individual officers’ motion to dismiss and dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims regarding the Company’s alleged improper revenue practices. The Company and the individual officers have answered the amended complaint and the case has moved to the discovery and class certification phase. The Company does not believe this claim will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. However, due to the uncertain nature of such litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business, which include malpractice claims covered under insurance policies. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
To cover claims arising out of the operations of the Company’s hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company’s other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy

limits. Significant legal actions as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities.
Health care providers are often subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. A qui tam lawsuit against the Company has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, but because the action is still under seal, the Company does not know the details of the allegations or the relief sought. As is required by law, the federal government is conducting an investigation of matters alleged by this complaint. The Company has received subpoenas for patient records and other documents, and other follow-up requests, apparently related to the federal government’s investigation. The Company believes that this investigation involves the billing practices of certain of its subsidiaries that provide outpatient services to beneficiaries of Medicare and other federal health care programs. The three relators in this qui tam lawsuit are two former employees of the Company’s Las Vegas, Nevada subsidiary who were terminated by the Company in 2001 and a former employee of the Company’s Florida subsidiary who the Company asked to resign. The Company sued the former Las Vegas employees in state court in Nevada in 2001 for, among other things, return of misappropriated funds, and the Company’s lawsuit has been transferred to the federal court in Las Vegas. While the government has investigated but chosen not to intervene in two previous qui tam lawsuits filed against the Company, the Company cannot provide assurance that the government will not intervene in the Nevada qui tam case or any other existing or future qui tam lawsuit against the Company. While litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes, based on its prior experiences with qui tam cases and the limited information currently available to the Company, that the Nevada qui tam action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
