NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Select Medical Corporation (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2002 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

         Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

2. Accounting Policies

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

         In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 supersedes the accounting provisions of APB 30 that address the disposal of a segment of a business and requires that such long-lived assets be reported at fair value less cost to sell. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be abandoned, exchanged for similar productive assets or distributed to owners in a spin-off be considered held for use until they are abandoned, exchanged or distributed. It also eliminates the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary while control is expected to be temporary. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 with no material effect on net income.

3. Stock Option Plans

         On April 11, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Select Medical Corporation Second Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The amended plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options to key employees to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock. A substantial portion of these options must be Performance Accelerated Vesting Options. The Performance Accelerated Vesting Options will vest and become exercisable on the seventh anniversary of the grant of such options, but the vesting schedule for these options will be accelerated if the Company meets or

- 7 -


Table of Contents

exceeds two performance-based targets. Twenty percent (20%) of a grant of Performance Accelerated Vesting Options shall vest and become exercisable after the completion of each fiscal year in which the Company meets or exceeds both its earnings per share and return on equity targets. No accelerated vesting shall occur in years in which the Company fails to meet either of its targets. In addition, if the Company meets both of these targets in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and the Company’s earnings per share for fiscal year 2004 is greater than or equal to $1.21, then all Performance Accelerated Vesting Options will become fully vested and immediately exercisable.

         On February 12, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan, which was amended on April 11, 2002. Both the adoption of the plan and the amendment were subject to stockholder approval. Under the terms of the Non-Employee Directors’ Plan, directors who are not employees of the Company may be granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (such number being subject to adjustment under the terms of the plan), at a price of not less than 100% of the market price on the date the option is granted. Options expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. On February 12, 2002, the Company granted 28,000 options at $14.04 per share subject to stockholder approval.

         During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company granted stock options under its 1997 Stock Option Plan totaling 785,348 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $12.66 to $14.04 per share.

4. Segment Information

         The Company’s segments consist of (i) inpatient hospitals and (ii) outpatient rehabilitation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on EBITDA of the respective business units. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, minority interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. All segment revenues are from external customers.

Management expects to pay out the remaining restructuring reserves through 2003 which is consistent with the original plan.

6.     Intangible Assets

         Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” 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. Additionally, a transitional impairment test is required within six months of the date of adoption utilizing data as of the beginning of the year. 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.

         During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the company conducted its initial transition test. In all instances, the estimated fair value of the reporting units exceeded their book values and therefore no write-down of goodwill was required at January 1, 2002.

Amortization expense for intangible assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $194,000. Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the five years commencing January 1, 2002 will be approximately $553,000.

8.     Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On August 10, 1998 a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was filed that named as defendants NovaCare, Inc. (now known as NAHC, Inc.), other named defendants and 100 defendants who were to be named at a later time. This qui tam action sought triple damages and penalties under the False Claims Act against NAHC. The Department of Justice did not intervene in this action. The allegations involve, among other things, the distinction between individual and group billing in physical rehabilitation clinics that the Company acquired from NovaCare. On October 16, 2000 the relator plaintiff made a motion to amend the complaint to, among other things, add Select Medical Corporation and some of its subsidiaries acquired in the NovaCare acquisition as defendants in this case. This motion was granted in September of 2001. The amended complaint alleges that from about January 1, 1995 through the present, the defendants submitted false or fraudulent bills for physical therapy to various federal health programs. The United States Attorneys Office has asserted that because the complaint is being amended to add allegations against new defendants, it is entitled to a new period to determine whether to intervene in the new allegations. On January 3, 2002, NAHC entered into a settlement agreement with the relator plaintiff and the government, pursuant to which, in exchange for a payment by NAHC of $375,000, the parties settled all claims arising out of conduct that took place before the Company’s acquisition of the NovaCare subsidiaries that are defendants in the case. Claims against the Company and the NovaCare subsidiaries regarding conduct occurring after the NovaCare acquisition were not settled. As of April 30, 2002, the government had not advised the Company whether it intends to intervene in any remaining claims, and the Company and the subsidiaries have not been served with the amended complaint. Based on a review of the amended complaint, the Company does not believe that this lawsuit is meritorious and intends to vigorously defend against this action. However, because of the uncertain nature of the litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

         The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally adjudicated, which include malpractice claims covered under the Company’s insurance policies, as well as claims that were covered under policies issued by PHICO Insurance Company, which are discussed below. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Other

         In February 2002, PHICO Insurance Company (“PHICO”), at the request of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, was placed in liquidation by an order of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (“Liquidation Order”). The Company had placed its primary malpractice insurance coverage through PHICO from June 1998 through December 2000. In January 2001, these policies were replaced by policies issued with other issuers. Currently, the Company has approximately 20 unsettled cases in 11 states from the policy years covered by PHICO issued policies. The Liquidation Order refers these claims to the various state guaranty associations. These state guaranty association statutes generally provide for coverage between $100,000-$300,000 per insured claim, depending on the state. Some states also have catastrophic loss funds to cover settlements in excess of the available state guaranty funds. Most state insurance guaranty statutes provide for net worth and residency limitations that, if applicable, may limit or prevent the Company from the recovering from these state guaranty association funds. At this time, the Company believes that it will meet the requirements for coverage under the applicable state guarantee association statutes, and that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flow or results of operations. However, because the rules related to state guarantee funds are subject to interpretation and because these claims are still in the process of resolution, the Company’s conclusions may change as this process progresses.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         You should read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 5, 2002.

Forward Looking Statements

         This discussion contains forward-looking statements relating to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of Select Medical Corporation. These statements include, without limitation, statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to factors including the following:

    a change in government reimbursement for our services that would affect our revenue;
 
    the failure of our long-term acute care hospitals to maintain their status as such, which could negatively impact our profitability;
 
    private third party payors of our services may undertake cost containment initiatives that would decrease our revenue;
 
    shortages in qualified nurses could increase our operating costs significantly;
 
    future acquisitions may use significant resources and expose us to unforeseen risks, and
 
    the effects of liability and other claims asserted against us.

         For a discussion of these and other factors affecting our business, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K under Item 1 – Business.

Overview

         We are a leading operator of specialty acute care hospitals for long term stay patients in the United States. We are also the second largest operator of outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States. As of March 31, 2002, we operated 64 specialty acute care hospitals in 22 states and 720 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 31 states, the District of Columbia and seven Canadian provinces. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership of our current management team.

         We operate through two business segments, our specialty acute care hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, we had net operating revenues of $271.9 million. Of this total, we earned 56% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals and 44% from our outpatient rehabilitation business.

         Our specialty acute care hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term stay acute patients. These patients typically suffer from serious and often complex medical conditions that require a high degree of care. Our outpatient rehabilitation business consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. Our patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living.

Table of Contents

         The following table sets forth operating statistics for our specialty acute care hospitals and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for each of the periods presented. The data in the table reflect the changes in the number of specialty acute care hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operate that resulted from acquisitions, start-up activities and closures. The operating statistics reflect data for the period of time these operations were managed by us.

  (a)   Net revenue per patient day is calculated by dividing specialty hospital patient service revenues by the total number of patient days.
 
  (b)   Net revenue per visit is calculated by dividing outpatient rehabilitation clinic revenue by the total number of visits. For purposes of this computation, outpatient rehabilitation clinic revenue does not include our Canadian subsidiary and contract services revenue.

         Our goal is to open approximately eight to ten new specialty acute care hospitals each year utilizing our “hospital within a hospital” model. We also intend to open new clinics in our current markets where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth. From time to time, we also intend to evaluate acquisition opportunities that may enhance the scale of our business and expand our geographic reach.

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.

         Our specialty hospitals are paid by Medicare under a cost-based reimbursement methodology. These payments are subject to final cost report settlements based on administrative review and audit by third parties. An annual cost report is filed for each provider to report the cost of providing services and to settle the difference between the interim payments we receive and final costs. We record adjustments to the original estimates in the periods that such adjustments become known. Because our routine payments from Medicare are different than the final reimbursement due to us under the cost based reimbursement system, we record a receivable or payable for the difference. At December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002, we had a net amount due to Medicare of $3.4 million and $5.0 million respectively. We recorded this amount as due to third party payors on our balance sheet.

         On March 22, 2002, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) published a proposed rule to establish a prospective payment system for Medicare payment of inpatient hospital services furnished by long-term care hospitals such as ours. CMS is accepting comments on the proposed rule until May 21, 2002. Current expectations are that the regulations may be final by the CMS deadline of October 2002, with implementation at a later date. We are currently evaluating this proposed rule and preparing our comments that we will file with CMS.

N/M – Not Meaningful

(a)   Cost of services include salaries, wages and benefits, operating supplies, lease and rent expense and other operating costs.
 
(b)   We define EBITDA as income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and special charges, other income, minority interest and extraordinary items. EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our operations and provides useful information to investors. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to 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 EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001

Net Operating Revenues

         Our net operating revenues increased by 20.8% to $271.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $225.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Specialty Acute Care Hospitals. Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased 31.5% to $148.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $113.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net operating revenues for the specialty hospitals opened before January 1, 2001 and operated throughout both periods increased 22.1% to $137.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $112.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This resulted from a higher occupancy rate and a higher net revenue per patient day. The remaining increase of $10.7 million resulted from the internal development of new specialty hospitals that commenced operations in 2001.

         Outpatient Rehabilitation. Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues increased 10.1% to $119.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $108.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was related to an increase in the number of visits, an increase in the net revenue per visit experienced at our outpatient rehabilitation locations and the additional revenues associated with two acquisitions that occurred in the third and fourth quarters of 2001.

         Other. Our other revenues increased to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in other revenue reflects higher corporate general and administrative costs in 2002, which resulted in higher Medicare reimbursements for those costs.

Operating Expenses

         Our operating expenses increased by 22.1% to $241.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $198.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Our operating expenses consist of our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. The increase in operating expenses was principally related to the internal development of new specialty hospitals that commenced operations in 2001, costs associated with the increased patient volumes and the operating expenses associated with the acquisitions that occurred in the third and fourth quarter of 2001. As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 88.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 88.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Cost of services as a percentage of operating revenues increased to 81.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 80.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. These costs primarily reflect our labor expenses. This increase reflects the higher costs of services as a percentage of revenue in our newly developed specialty hospitals. During the same time period, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net operating revenues decreased to 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 3.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 3.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

EBITDA

         Our total EBITDA increased 11.2% to $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Our EBITDA margins declined to 11.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decline in EBITDA margins is due to the losses incurred at our start-up hospitals. Excluding the hospitals opened in 2001 and our pre-opening hospitals, our EBITDA margins would be 12.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Specialty Acute Care Hospitals. EBITDA increased by 17.0% to $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Our EBITDA margins declined to 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 11.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The hospitals opened before January 1, 2001 and operated throughout both periods had EBITDA of $18.1 million, an increase of 28.8% over the EBITDA of these hospitals in the same period last year. This increase in same hospital EBITDA resulted from an increase in non-Medicare patient days and its associated increased revenue per patient day. Our EBITDA margin in these same store hospitals increased to 13.2% from 12.5%.

         Outpatient Rehabilitation. EBITDA increased by 10.5% to $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Our EBITDA margins increased to 17.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 17.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Other. The EBITDA loss increased to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to a loss of $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This increase resulted from the higher general and administrative costs needed to support the growth of the organization, principally our new hospital development.

Income from Operations

         Income from operations increased 25.1% to $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in income from operations resulted from the EBITDA increases described above, and a reduction in amortization expense of $2.3 million resulting from the adoption of FAS 142, and was offset by an increase in depreciation expense. The increase in depreciation expense resulted primarily from increases in depreciation on fixed asset additions that are principally related to new hospital development.

Interest Expense

         Interest expense decreased by $1.2 million to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decline in interest expense is due to the lower debt levels outstanding in 2002 compared to 2001 and a lower effective interest rate in 2002. The lower debt levels resulted from the scheduled term amortization payments under our credit facility and the repayment of all borrowings under the revolving portion of the credit facility. All repayments have been made with cash flows generated through operations.

Minority Interests

         Minority interests in consolidated earnings decreased by 57.1% to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease resulted from a smaller percentage of ownership held by minority interests. The terms of our agreements with some of our minority owners allowed them to sell their minority interests back to us upon the completion of our initial public offering which occurred on April 10, 2001. We completed the purchase of these minority interests between May 2001 and October 2001.

Income Taxes

         We recorded income tax expense of $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 39.1% and approximates the federal and state statutory tax rates. We recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This expense represented an effective tax rate of 39.0%.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

         For the three months ended March 31, 2002 operating activities provided $34.2 million of cash flow compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in cash flow is attributable to improved operating income, continued management of payables and our income tax payments and lower accounts receivable days outstanding. Our accounts receivable days outstanding were 74 days at March 31, 2002 compared to 77 days at December 31, 2001 and 81 days at March 31, 2001.

         Investing activities used $9.4 and $7.2 million of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This usage resulted from purchases of property and equipment of $9.0 and $5.3 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively that relate principally to new hospital development. Additionally, we incurred earnout related payments of $0.5 million in both 2002 and 2001 and acquisition payments of $1.4 million in 2001.

         Financing activities used $10.4 and $18.5 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This was due principally to the repayment of credit facility, seller and other debt which when aggregated amount to $11.7 and $13.4 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2001, we also used $4.7 million to repay bank overdrafts.

Capital Resources

         Net working capital remained approximately the same at $125.8 million as of March 31, 2002 compared to $126.7 million at December 31, 2001.

         We have a credit agreement with a group of banks. Our credit facility consists of a term facility of $87.8 million and a revolving credit facility of $152.4 million. As of March 31, 2002 we had borrowed all of our available loans under the U.S. and Canadian term loans and had availability to borrow an additional $148.0 million under our revolving facility subject to certain limitations. We have $4.4 million outstanding under letters of credit issued through the credit facility. The revolving facility terminates in 2005.

         Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest based upon financial covenant ratio tests. As of March 31, 2002, our weighted average interest rate under our credit agreement was approximately 7.6%. A portion of the amount borrowed under our U.S. term loan portion of our credit agreement is hedged through an interest rate swap transaction, which fixes the rate paid through March 31, 2003. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures on Market Risk” for a discussion of our floating interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility.

         We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate that ranges from      .375% to .500%, based upon financial covenant ratio tests. This fee applies to unused commitments under the revolving credit facility. The terms of the credit agreement include various restrictive covenants. These covenants include:

    restrictions against incurring additional indebtedness,
 
    disposing of assets,
 
    incurring capital expenditures,
 
    making investments,
 
    restrictions against paying certain dividends,
 
    engaging in transactions with affiliates,
 
    incurring contingent obligations, and
 
    allowing or causing fundamental changes.

         The covenants also require us to maintain various financial ratios regarding total indebtedness, interest, fixed charges and net worth. The borrowings are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of us and our subsidiaries, including all of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the loans have been guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries.

         On June 11, 2001, we issued and sold $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 1 /2% senior subordinated notes due June 15, 2009. The notes were issued under an indenture dated as of June 11, 2001 between us and State Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of Select Medical, are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of Select Medical, and are senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of Select Medical. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. On or after June 15, 2005, the notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at redemption prices that decline annually to 100% on and after June 15, 2008, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

         Upon a change of control of Select Medical, 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. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional debt by Select Medical and certain of its subsidiaries; the payment of dividends on capital stock of Select Medical and the purchase, redemption or retirement of capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; investments; certain transactions with affiliates; sales of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; and certain consolidations, mergers and transfers of assets. The indenture also prohibits certain restrictions on distributions from certain subsidiaries. All of these limitations and prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of qualifications.

         We believe that existing cash balances, internally generated cash flows and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our goal is to open eight to ten additional hospitals before the end of 2002. A new specialty hospital has historically required approximately $3.4 million per hospital over the initial year of operations to fund leasehold improvements, equipment, start-up losses and working capital. From time to time, we may complete acquisitions of specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation businesses. We currently have approximately $148 million of unused capacity under our revolving credit facility which can be used for acquisitions. Based on the size of the acquisition, approval of the acquisition by our lenders may be required. If funds required for future acquisitions exceed this capacity, we will need to increase our credit facilities or obtain additional capital by other means.

Inflation

         The health care 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

         In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 supersedes the accounting provisions of APB 30 that address the disposal of a segment of a business and requires that such long-lived assets be reported at fair value less cost to sell. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be abandoned, exchanged for similar productive assets or distributed to owners in a spin-off be considered held for use until they are abandoned, exchanged or distributed. It also eliminates the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary while control is expected to be temporary. We adopted SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002 with no material effect on net income.

         In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” which we adopted on January 1, 2002. This accounting standard eliminates the periodic amortization of goodwill, and instead requires an annual impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life intangible assets. There was no asset impairment recognized by Select upon the adoption of this accounting standard. If the new standard had been in effect in 2001, pre-tax amortization expense in the first quarter of 2001 would have been approximately $2.3 million less. This would have increased fully diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         We are exposed to interest rate changes, primarily as a result of floating interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility. A change in interest rates by one percentage point on variable rate debt would have resulted in interest expense fluctuating approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As required by our credit agreement, on March 30, 2001, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate cost to us on a portion of the U.S. term loans outstanding under our credit facility for a period of four years. The swap became effective on April 27, 2001. In January 2002 we amended the swap to mature in March 2003. The fixed rate portion of all of our outstanding U.S. term loans was 91% as of March 31, 2002.

         Approximately 17% of our term-loan borrowings under our credit agreement are denominated in Canadian dollars. Although we are not required by our credit agreement to maintain a hedge on our foreign currency risk, we have entered into a five year agreement that allows us to limit the cost of Canadian dollars to a range of U.S.$0.6631 to U.S.$0.6711 per Canadian dollar to limit our risk on the potential fluctuation in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On August 10, 1998 a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was filed that named as defendants, NovaCare, Inc. (now known as NAHC, Inc.), other named defendants and 100 defendants who were to be named at a later time. This qui tam action sought triple damages and penalties under the False Claims Act against NAHC. The Department of Justice did not intervene in this action. The allegations involve, among other things, the distinction between individual and group billing in physical rehabilitation clinics that we acquired from NovaCare. On October 16, 2000 the relator plaintiff made a motion to amend the complaint to, among other things, add Select Medical Corporation and some of its subsidiaries acquired in the NovaCare acquisition as defendants in this case. This motion was granted in September of 2001. The amended complaint alleges that from about January 1, 1995 through the present, the defendants submitted false or fraudulent bills for physical therapy to various federal health programs. The United States Attorneys Office has asserted that because the complaint is being amended to add allegations against new defendants, it is entitled to a new period to determine whether to intervene in the new allegations. On January 3, 2002, NAHC and its related subsidiaries (including the subsidiaries acquired in the NovaCare acquisition) entered in to a settlement agreement with the relator plaintiff and the government, pursuant to which, in exchange for a payment by NAHC of $375,000, the parties settled all claims arising out of conduct that took place before Select Medical’s acquisition of the NovaCare subsidiaries that are defendants in the case. Claims against the Company and the NovaCare subsidiaries regarding conduct occurring after the NovaCare acquisition were not settled. As of April 30, 2002, the government had not advised the Company whether it intends to intervene in any remaining claims, and Select and the subsidiaries have not been served with the amended complaint. Based on a review of the amended complaint, we do not believe that this lawsuit is meritorious, and we intend to vigorously defend against this action. However, because of the uncertain nature of the litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

         In addition, as part of our business, we are subject to legal actions alleging liability on our part. To cover claims arising out of the operations of our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, we generally maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance in amounts and with deductibles that we believe to be sufficient for our operations. We also maintain umbrella liability coverage covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by our insurance policies. We cannot assure you that professional liability insurance will cover all claims against us or continue to be available at reasonable costs for us to maintain adequate levels of insurance. These insurance policies also do not cover punitive damages.
