Certain statements contained herein that are not descriptions of
historical facts are "forward-looking" statements (as such term is defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Because such
statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements due to factors including the following:
-- additional changes in government reimbursement for our services may
result in a reduction in net operating revenues, an increase in costs
and a reduction in profitability;
-- the failure of our long-term acute care hospitals, or LTCHs, 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,"
or HIHs, 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;
-- 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 (such as the outpatient
rehabilitation division of HealthSouth
