6 PEDIATRIX MEDICAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pediatrix") presented herein do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2001. 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS: The Company accounts for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting and the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years. The results of operations of acquired practices have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. 6

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES: Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following: March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 --------- ------------ (in thousands) Accounts payable ...................... $11,582 $ 9,662 Accrued salaries and bonuses .......... 2,830 6,960 Accrued payroll taxes and benefits .... 3,542 4,315 Accrued professional liability coverage............................. 7,077 5,888 Other accrued expenses ................ 3,229 3,053 ------- ------- $28,260 $29,878 ======= ======= 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE: Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated using the treasury stock method. 5. CONTINGENCIES: In February 1999, several federal securities law class actions were commenced against the Company and three of its principal officers in United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of all open market purchasers of the Company's common stock between March 31, 1997, and various dates through and including April 2, 1999. They claim that during that period, the Company violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws by issuing false and misleading statements concerning its billing practices and results of operations. The plaintiffs seek damages in an undetermined amount based on the alleged decline in the value of the common stock after the Company, in early April 1999, disclosed the initiation of inquiries by state investigators into its billing practices. The plaintiff class has been certified, and the case is now in the discovery stage. No trial date has been set, but the court has set a pre-trial conference for August 17, 2001. Under the local rules, all pre-trial activities, including discovery and motions for summary judgment, must be completed before that date, and trial may be set for anytime thereafter. Also pursuant to the local rules, the parties have agreed to engage in a mediation, but to date those efforts have been unsuccessful. Although the Company continues to believe that the claims are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously, if the Company is unsuccessful in defending class action lawsuits that have been brought against it, damages awarded could exceed the limits of the Company's insurance coverage and have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. 7
8 PEDIATRIX MEDICAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 5. CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED: In April 1999, the Company received requests, and in one case a subpoena, from investigators in Arizona, Colorado and Florida for information related to its billing practices for services reimbursed by the Medicaid programs in these states and the Tricare program for military dependents. On May 25, 2000, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Florida, pursuant to which the Company paid the State of Florida $40,000 to settle any claims regarding the receipt of overpayments from the Florida Medicaid program from January 7, 1997 through the effective date of the settlement agreement. On August 28, 2000, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Arizona's Medicaid Agency, pursuant to which the Company paid the State of Arizona $220,000 in settlement of potential claims regarding payments received by the Company and its affiliated physicians and physician practices from the Arizona Medicaid program for neonatal, newborn and pediatric services provided over a ten-year period, from January 1, 1990 through the effective date of the settlement agreement. Additionally, the Company reimbursed the State of Arizona for costs related to its investigation. The Florida and Arizona settlement agreements both stated that the investigations conducted by those states revealed a potential overpayment, but no intentional fraud, and that any overpayment was due to a lack of clarity in the relevant billing codes. Although the Company believes that the resolution of the Florida and Arizona investigations on these terms supports the propriety of our billing practices, the investigation in Colorado is ongoing and these matters have prompted inquiries by Medicaid officials in other states. The Company cannot predict whether the Colorado investigation or any other inquiries will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company further believes that billing audits, inquiries and investigations from government agencies will continue to occur in the ordinary course of its business and in the healthcare 8
9 PEDIATRIX MEDICAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) services industry in general and from time to time, the Company may be subject to additional billing audits and inquiries by government and other payors. During the ordinary course of business, the Company has become a party to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice and are generally covered by insurance. These lawsuits are not expected to result in judgments which would exceed professional liability insurance coverage, and therefore are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity, notwithstanding any possible lack of insurance recovery. 6. MERGER AGREEMENT On February 15, 2001, the Company announced that it signed a definitive merger agreement with Magella Healthcare Corporation ("Magella"). Under the terms of the agreement, Pediatrix would issue approximately 6.9 million shares of common stock in exchange for all outstanding capital stock (including shares of Magella non-voting common stock that will be issued upon the exercise immediately prior to the merger of substantially all outstanding warrants of Magella). In addition, Pediatrix would assume certain obligations to issue up to 1.39 million shares of common stock pursuant to Magella stock option plans. Pediatrix would repay an estimated $25 million of Magella bank debt and assume $23.5 million of convertible subordinated notes which would be convertible into approximately 1 million shares of Pediatrix common stock. The board of directors of each company has approved the definitive agreement. Shareholders of Magella representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Magella voting stock have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the proposed merger. The proposed merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Pediatrix. On February 13, 2001, the proposed merger received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. This merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price to be allocated, including direct transaction costs, is approximately $164.3 million. Pediatrix anticipates that the transaction will close on May 15, 2001. In the event that the merger is not consummated, the Company may be liable for certain termination fees in accordance with the merger agreement. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of two physician group practices. Total consideration for these acquisitions approximated $15.9 million in cash. The acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. 9
10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 We reported net patient service revenue of $63.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared with $59.4 million for the same period in 2000, a growth rate of 7.6%. Of this $4.5 million increase, $1.9 million, or 42.2%, was attributable to new units, including units at which we provide services as a result of acquisitions. Same unit patient service revenue increased approximately $2.6 million, or 4.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in same unit patient service revenue is primarily the result of a higher acuity level of patient service billed in the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. Same units are those units at which we provided services for the entire current period and the entire comparable prior period. Salaries and benefits increased $3.2 million, or 7.3%, to $46.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared with $43.3 million for the same period in 2000. Of this increase, $1.6 million, or 50.0%, was attributable to hiring new physicians and other clinical staff and to support new unit growth and volume growth at existing units. The remaining $1.6 million was primarily attributable to an increase in resources for: (i) billing and collections as we continued our regionalization of collection activities; (ii) administrative support at the practice level; and (iii) information services for the development and support of clinical and operational systems. Supplies and other operating expenses increased $1.2 million, or 19.9%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared with $5.7 million for the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily the result of additional rent expense and increased costs related to our regional collection offices. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $242,000, or 7.3%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared with $3.3 million for the same period in 2000, primarily as a result of depreciation on fixed asset additions and amortization of goodwill in connection with acquisitions made during 2000. Income from operations decreased approximately $44,000 to approximately $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. We recorded net interest expense of approximately $452,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared with net interest expense of approximately $907,000 for the same period in 2000. The decrease in interest expense in 2001 is primarily due to the reduction of our line of credit. The effective income tax rate was approximately 45.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Net income increased 6.7% to approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2000. Diluted net income per common and common equivalent share remained consistent at 22 cents for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. 10
11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 2001, we had working capital of approximately $8.0 million, an increase of $5.9 million from working capital of $2.1 million at December 31, 2000. During 2000, we refinanced our $75 million line of credit, which matured on September 30, 2000, with an amended and restated credit agreement in the amount of $75 million. At our option, the credit agreement (the "Line of Credit") bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.0% or prime. The Line of Credit is collateralized by substantially all the assets of Pediatrix, its subsidiaries and its affiliated practices, and matures on September 30, 2001. We had $15.8 million outstanding under the Line of Credit at March 31, 2001 as compared to $23.5 million at December 31, 2000. We are required to maintain certain financial covenants. We are in compliance with such financial covenants at March 31, 2001. We are currently evaluating several options to obtain financing beyond the current maturity of the Line of Credit. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing in amounts and on terms substantially similar to the Line of Credit on or prior to September 30, 2001. Our capital expenditures have typically been for computer hardware and software and for furniture, equipment and improvements at the corporate headquarters. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, capital expenditures amounted to approximately $1.3 million. Provided that we are able to secure financing in amounts similar to those currently available under the Line of Credit, we anticipate that funds generated from operations, together with cash on hand, and funds available under such financing will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and finance required capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. 11
12 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our Line of Credit and certain operating lease agreements are subject to market risk from interest rate changes. The total amount available under the Line of Credit is $75 million. At our option, the Line of Credit bears interest at either LIBOR plus 2% or prime. The leases bear interest at LIBOR-based variable rates. The outstanding principal balance on the Line of Credit is $15.8 million at March 31, 2001. The outstanding balances related to the operating leases totaled approximately $17.2 million at March 31, 2001. Considering the total outstanding balances under these instruments at March 31, 2001 of approximately $33.0 million, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an impact to pre-tax earnings of approximately $330,000 per year. 12
13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In February 1999, several federal securities law class actions were commenced against us and three of our principal officers in United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

During the ordinary course of business, we have become a party to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice and are generally covered by insurance.
