HCA INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      HCA Inc. is a holding company whose affiliates own and operate hospitals and related health care entities. The term “affiliates” includes direct and indirect subsidiaries of HCA Inc. and partnerships and joint ventures in which such subsidiaries are partners. At September 30, 2002, these affiliates owned and operated 175 hospitals, 74 freestanding surgery centers and provided extensive outpatient and ancillary services. Affiliates of HCA Inc. are also partners in 50/50 joint ventures that own and operate six hospitals and four freestanding surgery centers which are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s facilities are located in 22 states, England and Switzerland. The terms “HCA” or the “Company” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to HCA Inc. and its affiliates unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 — INVESTIGATIONS AND SETTLEMENT OF CERTAIN GOVERNMENT CLAIMS

      HCA continues to be the subject of governmental investigations and litigation relating to its business practices. Additionally, HCA is a defendant in several qui tam actions brought by private parties on behalf of the United States of America.

      In December 2000, HCA entered into a Plea Agreement with the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice and various U.S. Attorneys’ Offices (the “Plea Agreement”) and a Civil and Administrative Settlement Agreement with the Civil Division of the Department of Justice (the “Civil Agreement”). The agreements resolved all Federal criminal issues outstanding against HCA and certain issues involving Federal civil claims by or on behalf of the government against HCA relating to DRG coding, outpatient laboratory billing and home health issues. The civil issues that are not covered by the Civil Agreement and remain outstanding include claims related to cost reports and physician relations issues. The Civil Agreement was approved by the Federal District Court of the District of Columbia in August 2001. HCA paid the government $95 million, as provided by the Plea Agreement, during the first quarter of 2001 and paid $745 million (plus $60 million of accrued interest), as provided by the Civil Agreement, during the third quarter of 2001. HCA also entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.

      Under the Civil Agreement, HCA’s existing Letter of Credit Agreement with the Department of Justice was reduced from $1 billion to $250 million at the time of the settlement payment. Any future civil settlement or court ordered payments related to cost report or physician relations issues will reduce the remaining amount of the letter of credit dollar for dollar. The amount of any such future settlement or court ordered payments is not related to the remaining amount of the letter of credit.

      HCA remains the subject of a formal order of investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). HCA understands that the investigation i
