          percentage of the Hospitals were the only hospitals in their                
          communities.                                                                
               Furthermore, although the Securities were not registered on            
          September 17, 1987, HealthTrust was required to file at its                 
          expense a registration statement with the SEC as soon as                    
          practicable after that date and to use its best efforts to take             
          all actions necessary to permit public resale of the Securities.            
          Both classes of Preferred Stock carried a mandatory redemption              
          feature at a price of $50 per share plus accrued and unpaid                 
          dividends.                                                                  
               Based on the foregoing, we conclude that willing buyers                
          could be found for the Securities at the high point of each range           
          advanced by Goldman Sachs.  Accordingly, we hold that the fair              
          market value of the class A preferred stock in the aggregate is             
          $168 million, the fair market value of the class B preferred                
          stock in the aggregate is $108 million, and the fair market value           
          of the Common Stock Warrants issued to HCA in the aggregate is              
          $52 million, for an aggregate fair market value of the Securities           
          of $328 million.                                                            
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
          Appropriate orders                                                          
          will be issued.
