NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All tables in thousands, except per share)

1.     Business and Organization

     MedCath Corporation (the Company) primarily focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. The Company designs, develops, owns and operates hospitals in partnership with physicians, most of whom are cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons. While each of the Company’s hospitals (collectively, the Hospital Division) is licensed as a general acute care hospital, the Company focuses on serving the unique needs of patients suffering from cardiovascular disease. As of December 31, 2002, the Company owned and operated nine hospitals, together with its physician partners, who own an equity interest in the hospital where they practice. The Company’s existing hospitals have a total of 577 licensed beds and are located in Arizona, Arkansas, California, New Mexico, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas. In addition to its hospitals, the Company provides cardiovascular care services in diagnostic and therapeutic facilities located in eight states and through mobile cardiac catheterization laboratories (the Diagnostics Division). The Company also provides consulting and management services (CCM) tailored primarily to cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons, which is included in the corporate and other division.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation - The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results of operations and financial position for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2003 or future fiscal years.

     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 SEC, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Reclassifications – Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

     Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. There is a reasonable possibility that actual results may vary significantly from those estimates.

     Pre-opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses consist of operating expenses incurred during the development of a new venture and prior to its opening for business. Such costs specifically relate to ventures under development and are expensed as incurred. The Company recognized pre-opening expenses of approximately $2.4 million and $949,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     Stock-Based Compensation –At December 31, 2002, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans, including a stock option plan under which it may grant incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to officers and other key employees and an outside director’s stock option plan under which it may grant nonqualified stock options to nonemployee directors. The company accounts for stock options under both of these plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB Opinion No, 25, compensation cost is determined based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument award. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for the three

months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as all options granted during those periods under the Company’s stock option plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. If the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to account for its stock option plans, then the Company’s net income and earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 would have been as follows:
