ATTACHMENT A TO FORM 12b-25
Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2006
PART III — NARRATIVE
     Although the management of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the “Registrant”) has been working diligently to complete all required information for its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The reason causing the Registrant’s inability to file timely could not be eliminated by the Registrant without unreasonable effort or expense.
     As disclosed in the Registrant’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2006 (the “Form 8-K”), the Registrant issued a press release on August 3, 2006 announcing revenues and other selected unaudited financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (the “Release”). In the Release and the Form 8-K, the Registrant also announced that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors is reviewing the Registrant’s practices relating to its stock option grants. This voluntary review was initiated following a shareholder inquiry and in light of recent reports in the financial media regarding stock option practices. The review is being conducted with the assistance of the Registrant’s Audit Committee’s outside legal counsel. As a result of the review, the Registrant will announce its complete financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 following the completion of its Audit Committee’s work. Based on the status of the review to date, the Registrant believes that it will not be able to report full results for the second quarter of 2006 and file its Form 10-Q for the second quarter by the extended filing deadline.
ATTACHMENT B TO FORM 12b-25
     Because the Audit Committee has not yet completed its review and reached conclusions with respect thereto, at the date hereof, the Registrant has no knowledge as to whether such review may require a significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year to be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof. Accordingly, the statement set forth in Part IV (3) of this Form 12b-25 is made subject to the result of such review.
