|(1) | The increase in revenues compared to the prior year was
    accompanied by a decrease in the aggregate net income of our
    unconsolidated affiliates, primarily due to our increased
    development activities. While revenues are ramping up at
    facilities we added during 2004, some of these facilities, as
    well as facilities currently under development, are not yet
    profitable. In addition, a significant number of unconsolidated
    facilities were adversely impacted by a lapsed managed care
    contract in a major market.
|   
|(2) | Calculated as USPIs equity in earnings of unconsolidated
    affiliates divided by the total net income of unconsolidated
    affiliates for each respective period. This percentage is higher
    in 2005 due primarily to our January 1, 2005 acquisition of
    additional ownership in eight facilities we account for under
    the equity method.                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|   
|(3) | Calculated as the total debt of each unconsolidated affiliate,
    multiplied by the percentage ownership USPI held in the
    affiliate as of the end of each respective period, divided by
    the total debt of all of the unconsolidated affiliates as of the
    end of each respective period. This percentage is higher in 2005
    due primarily to our January 1, 2005 acquisition of
    additional ownership in eight facilities we account for under
    the equity method.

|(1) | Growth in same store facilities, compared to three months ended

|   
|(2) | Our overall domestic same store growth in net revenue per case
    was favorably impacted by the growth at our eight same store
    surgical hospitals, which on average perform more complex cases
    than ambulatory surgery centers. Net revenue per case of our
    same store ambulatory surgery centers decreased by 2% during the
    three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the
    corresponding prior year period, largely as a result of the
    workers compensation reimbursement changes and lapsed managed
    care contract described above.

|(1) | Operating margin is calculated as operating income divided by
    total revenues. This table aggregates all of the same store
    facilities we operate using 100% of their results. This does not
    represent the overall margin for USPIs operations in
    either the U.S. or the U.K. because we have a variety of
    ownership levels in the facilities we operate, and facilities
    open for less than a year are excluded from same store
    calculations.
