ITEM 1.   Financial Statements
 
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
United Surgical Partners International, Inc.:
 
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of United Surgical Partners International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2011, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of United Surgical Partners International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
(1)   Basis of Presentation
 
(a)   Description of Business
 
United Surgical Partners International, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and subsidiaries (USPI or the Company) was formed in February 1998 for the primary purpose of ownership and operation of ambulatory surgery centers, surgical hospitals and related businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom. At June 30, 2011, the Company, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, operated 191 short-stay surgical facilities. Of these 191 facilities, the Company consolidates the results of 59 and accounts for 132 under the equity method. The Company operates in two countries, with 186 of its 191 facilities located in the United States of America; the remaining five facilities are located in the United Kingdom. The majority of the Company’s U.S. facilities are jointly owned with local physicians and a not-for-profit healthcare system that has other healthcare businesses in the region. At June 30, 2011, the Company had agreements with not-for-profit healthcare systems providing for joint ownership of 134 of the Company’s 186 U.S. facilities and also providing a framework for the construction or acquisition of additional facilities in the future.
 
Global Healthcare Partners Limited (Global), a USPI subsidiary incorporated in England, manages and owns three surgical hospitals and an oncology center in the greater London area and a diagnostic and surgery center in Edinburgh, Scotland.
 
The Company is subject to various risks, including changes in government legislation that could impact Medicare, Medicaid, and U.K. government reimbursement levels and is also subject to increased levels of managed care penetration and changes in payor patterns that may impact the level and timing of payments for services rendered.
 
The Company maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting, and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2010 Form 10-K. It is management’s opinion that the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. Net operating results have not been affected by these reclassifications.
 
(2)   Discontinued Operations and Other Dispositions
 
Sales of consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company has no continuing involvement are classified as discontinued operations, as are consolidated subsidiaries that are held for sale. The gains or losses on these transactions are classified within discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Also, the Company has reclassified its historical results of operations to remove the operations of these entities from its revenues and expenses, collapsing the net income or loss from these operations into a single line within discontinued operations.
 
Discontinued operations consist of an endoscopy business and surgical facility, which were sold in December 2010, and two investments in surgery centers that were designated as held for sale at December 31, 2010 and were

sold in February 2011. The estimated net loss on disposal of these operations was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010 and adjusted in 2011.
 
The table below summarizes certain amounts related to the Company’s discontinued operations for the periods presented (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold four facilities it operated through unconsolidated affiliates and terminated its contracts to manage them. The resulting gains and losses are classified within “Net (gain) loss on deconsolidations, disposals and impairments” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Equity method investments that are sold do not represent discontinued operations under GAAP. These transactions are summarized below

  Richmond, Virginia   $ 0.6 million     $ 0.2 million

Total
      $ 4.1 million     $ 1.3 million  
                     
 
(3)   Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
 
The Company’s facilities are generally operated through separate legal entities in which the Company holds an equity interest. Other investors generally include physicians who utilize the facility and, in a majority of cases, a local not-for-profit health system.
 
The Company controls 59 of these entities and therefore consolidates their results. However, the Company accounts for an increasing majority (132 of its 191 facilities at June 30, 2011) as investments in unconsolidated affiliates, i.e., under the equity method, as the Company’s level of influence is significant but does not reach the threshold of controlling the entity. The majority of these investments are partnerships or limited liability companies, which require the associated tax benefit or expense to be recorded by the partners or members. Summarized financial information for the Company’s equity method investees on a combined basis is as follows (amounts are in

The Company regularly engages in the purchase and sale of equity interests with respect to its investments in unconsolidated affiliates that do not result in a change of control. These transactions are primarily the acquisitions and sales of equity interests in unconsolidated surgical facilities and the investment of additional cash in surgical facilities under development. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, these transactions resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately $5.6 million, which is summarized as follows:

(1) Represents additional capital the Company contributed to a joint venture with one of the Company’s not-for-profit hospital partners, which the joint venture used to acquire an equity interest in this facility. The Company already was providing management services to the facility. The remainder of this facility is owned by local physicians.
 
(2) Acquisition of additional equity interest in a surgical facility in which the Company already held an investment. This facility is jointly owned with physicians and continues to be accounted for under the equity method.
 
(3) Acquisition of a 50% noncontrolling interest in diagnostic and surgery facility in which the Company had no previous involvement.
 
(4) Represents additional capital the Company contributed to a joint venture with one of the Company’s not-for-profit hospital partners, which the joint venture used to acquire an equity interest in this facility. The remainder of this facility is owned by local physicians. The Company also acquired the right to manage this facility.

(6) Represents the net receipt related to various other purchases and sales of equity interests and contributions of cash to equity method investees.
 
(4)   Noncontrolling Interests
 
The Company controls and therefore consolidates the results of 59 of its 191 facilities. Similar to its investments in unconsolidated affiliates, the Company regularly engages in the purchase and sale of equity interests with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries that do not result in a change of control. These transactions are accounted for as equity transactions, as they are undertaken among the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, and noncontrolling interests, and their cash flow effect is classified within financing activities.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased and sold equity interests in various consolidated subsidiaries in the amounts of $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The basis difference between the Company’s carrying amount and the proceeds received or paid in each transaction is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The impact of these transactions is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental regulatory changes, the Company could be obligated, under the terms of its investees’ partnership and operating agreements, to purchase some or all of the noncontrolling interests related to the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. These repurchase requirements are limited to the portions of its facilities that are owned by physicians who perform surgery at the Company’s facilities and would be triggered by regulatory changes making the existing ownership structure illegal. While the Company is not aware of events that would make the occurrence of such a change probable, regulatory changes are outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests subject to these repurchase provisions have been classified outside of equity and are carried as “noncontrolling interests — redeemable” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is summarized below (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — (Continued)
 
(5)   Other Investments
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of USPI and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company also determines if it is the primary beneficiary of (and therefore should consolidate) any entity whose operations it does not control with voting rights. At June 30, 2011, the Company consolidated one entity in accordance with this accounting guidance.
 
This entity operates and manages seven surgical facilities in the Houston, Texas area. Despite not holding a controlling voting interest, the Company is the primary beneficiary because the Company has loaned the entity funds to purchase surgical facilities, but the Company does not have full recourse to the entity’s other owner with respect to repayment of the loans. As the entity earns management fees and receives cash distributions of earnings from the surgical facilities, a portion of those proceeds are used to repay the loans prior to being eligible for distribution to the entity’s other owner. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, $7.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of such advances are outstanding and are included in other long-term assets. The Company has no exposure for the entity’s losses beyond this investment. Accordingly, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to the entity that it was not previously contractually required to provide during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the total assets of this entity were $79.8 million and $54.5 million, and the total liabilities owed to third parties were $20.6 million and $17.0 million, respectively. Such amounts are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
(6)   Interest Rate Swaps
 
The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes but has at times entered into interest rate swaps to fix the rate of interest owed on a portion of its variable rate debt. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with counterparties who maintain a strong credit rating. Market risk is the risk of an adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates. This risk essentially represents the risk that variable interest rates decline to a level below the fixed rate the Company has locked in. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
 
At the inception of the interest rate swap, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.
 
In order to manage the Company’s interest rate risk related to a portion of its variable-rate U.K. debt, on February 29, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of £20.0 million. The interest rate swap required the Company to pay 4.99% and it received interest at a variable rate of three-month GBP-LIBOR. The interest rate swap matured in March 2011.
 
The Company entered into a new interest swap effective March 31, 2011 for a notional amount of £18.0 million ($28.9 million). The interest rate swap requires the Company to pay 1.45% and to receive interest at a variable rate of three-month GBP-LIBOR (currently 0.83%), and is reset quarterly. No collateral is required under the interest rate swap agreement. The swap matures in June 2012.

In order to manage the Company’s interest rate risk related to a portion of its variable-rate senior secured credit facility, effective July 24, 2008, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $200.0 million. The interest rate swap required the Company to pay 3.6525% and to receive interest at a variable rate of three-month USD-LIBOR (0.27% at June 30, 2011), which was reset quarterly. No collateral was required under the interest rate swap agreement. The swap matured in July 2011.
 
The proceeds from the swaps are used to settle the Company’s interest obligations on the hedged portion of the variable rate debt, which has the overall outcome of the Company paying and expensing a fixed rate of interest on the hedged debt.
 
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of certain of its variable-rate borrowings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings and would be classified as interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded no expense related to ineffectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reclassified $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, out of other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the swaps. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reclassified $2.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, out of other comprehensive income to interest expense related to the swaps. During the next twelve months, if current interest rates remain at June 30, 2011 levels, the Company will record approximately $0.5 million more interest expense than if it had not entered into the interest rate swaps.
 
At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the fair values of the U.K. interest rate swap were approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million (both recorded in other current liabilities), respectively, with the offset to other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the fair values of the U.S. interest rate swap were approximately $0.5 million (recorded in other current liabilities) and $6.0 million (recorded in other long term liabilities), respectively, with the offset to other comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the amounts, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps were $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the amounts, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps were $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
 
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using present value models of the contractual payments. Inputs to the models were based on prevailing LIBOR market data and incorporate credit data that measure nonperformance risk. The estimated fair value represents the theoretical exit cost the Company would have to pay to transfer the obligations to a market participant with similar credit risk. The interest rate swap agreements are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
 
(7)   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability. The Company uses fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities (Level 3), depending on the nature of the item being valued. The estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values that will be realized or settled in the future.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is disclosed in Note 6.
 
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined by either (i) estimation of the discounted future cash flows of the debt at rates currently quoted or offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by its lenders, or (ii) quoted market prices at the reporting date for the traded debt securities. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt were $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2010, the aggregate carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt were $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
 
The Company purchased $4.7 million of marketable securities, primarily corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, which are included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company has designated these securities as available-for-sale. At June 30, 2011, the carrying value of such securities approximates fair value. The fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, and are based on closing market prices of the investments when applicable, or alternatively, valuations utilizing market data and other observable inputs.
 
(8)   Equity-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation, such as stock options and other stock-based awards to employees and directors, at fair value. The fair value of the compensation is measured at the date of grant and recognized as expense over the recipient’s requisite service period.
 
The Company’s equity-based compensation consists primarily of stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company’s parent, USPI Group Holdings, Inc., to certain employees and members of the board of directors. The fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes formula based on assumptions derived from historical experience.

(10)   Related Party Transactions
 
Included in general and administrative expenses are management fees payable to an affiliate of Welsh Carson, which holds a controlling interest in the Company, in the amount of $0.5 million and $1.0 million in both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such amounts accrue at an annual rate of $2.0 million. The Company pays $1.0 million in cash per year with the unpaid balance due and payable upon a change in control. At June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $4.5 million accrued related to such management fee, of which $0.3 million is included in other current liabilities and $4.2 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
(11)   Commitments and Contingencies
 
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had issued guarantees of the indebtedness and other obligations of its investees to third parties, which could potentially require the Company to make maximum aggregate payments totaling approximately $63.6 million. Of the total, $13.8 million relates to the obligations of consolidated subsidiaries, whose obligations are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures, and $41.1 million of the remaining $49.8 million relates to the obligations of unconsolidated affiliated companies, whose obligations are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures. The remaining $8.7 million represents a guarantee of the obligations of five facilities which have been sold. The Company has full recourse to the buyers with respect to these amounts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — (Continued)
 
The Company has recorded long-term liabilities totaling approximately $0.6 million related to the guarantees the Company has issued to unconsolidated affiliates on or after January 1, 2003, and has not recorded any liabilities related to guarantees issued prior to that date. Generally, these arrangements (a) consist of guarantees of real estate and equipment financing, (b) are secured by the related property and equipment, (c) require payments by the Company, when the collateral is insufficient, in the event of a default by the investee primarily obligated under the financing, (d) expire as the underlying debt matures at various dates through 2022, and (e) provide no recourse for the Company to recover any amounts from third parties. The Company also has $1.6 million of letters of credit outstanding.
 
(12)   Subsequent Events
 
The Company has entered into letters of intent with various entities regarding possible joint venture, development, or other transactions. These possible joint ventures, developments of new facilities, or other transactions are in various stages of negotiation.
 
(13)   Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
 
The following information is presented as required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the Company’s subordinated notes that have been registered with the SEC. This information is not routinely prepared for use by management. The operating and investing activities of the separate legal entities included in the consolidated financial statements are fully interdependent and integrated. Accordingly, the operating results of the separate legal entities are not representative of what the operating results would be on a stand-alone basis. Revenues and operating expenses of the separate legal entities include intercompany charges for management and other services.
 
The $240.0 million of 87/8% senior subordinated notes and $200.0 million of 91/4%/10% senior subordinated toggle notes, all due 2017 (the Notes), were issued in a private offering on April 19, 2007 and were subsequently registered as publicly traded securities through a Form S-4 declared effective by the SEC on July 25, 2007. The exchange offer was completed in August 2007. The Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company; however, the Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s current and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. USPI, which issued the Notes, does not have independent assets or operations. USPI’s investees in the United Kingdom are not guarantors of the obligation. USPI’s investees in the United States in which USPI owns less than 100% are not guarantors of the obligation. The financial positions and results of operations (below, in thousands) of the respective guarantors are based upon the guarantor relationship at the end of the period presented. Consolidation adjustments include purchase accounting entries for investments in which the Company’s ownership percentage in non-participating investees is not high enough to permit the application of pushdown accounting.

ITEM 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “continues,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans” and similar expressions, and statements regarding the Company’s business strategy and plans, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which the Company is unable to predict or control, that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: our significant indebtedness; general economic and business conditions, including without limitation the condition of the financial markets, both nationally and internationally; foreign currency fluctuations; demographic changes; changes in, or the failure to comply with, laws and governmental regulations; the ability to enter into or renew managed care provider arrangements on acceptable terms; changes in Medicare, Medicaid and other government funded payments or reimbursement in the United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.); the efforts of insurers, healthcare providers and others to contain healthcare costs; the impact of healthcare reform; liability and other claims asserted against us; the highly competitive nature of healthcare; changes in business strategy or development plans of healthcare systems with which we partner; the ability to attract and retain qualified physicians and personnel, including nurses and other health care professionals and other personnel; the availability of suitable acquisition and development opportunities and the length of time it takes to complete acquisitions and developments; our ability to integrate new and acquired businesses with our existing operations; the availability and terms of capital to fund the expansion of our business, including the acquisition and development of additional facilities and certain additional factors, risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any obligation and make no promise to update any such factors or forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any such factors or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, to reflect new information as a result of the occurrence of events or developments or otherwise. Given these uncertainties, investors and prospective investors are cautioned not to rely on such forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
We operate ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals in the United States and the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2011, we operated 191 facilities, consisting of 186 in the United States and five in the United Kingdom. Fourteen of our 186 U.S. facilities are surgical hospitals. All but one of our 186 of our U.S. facilities includes local physician owners, and 134 of these facilities are also partially owned by various not-for-profit healthcare systems (hospital partners). In addition to facilitating the joint ownership of the majority of our existing facilities, our agreements with these healthcare systems provide a framework for the construction or acquisition of additional facilities in the future. The facility that is currently under construction includes a hospital partner. We opened four de novo facilities during the second quarter of 2011. We opened our newest facility, a surgical hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2011, which is a joint venture between us and our hospital partner.
 
Our U.S. facilities, consisting of ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals, specialize in non-emergency surgical cases. Due in part to advancements in medical technology, the volume and complexity of surgical cases performed in an outpatient setting has steadily increased over the past two decades. Our facilities earn a fee from patients, insurance companies, or other payors in exchange for providing the facility and related services a surgeon requires in order to perform a surgical case. In addition, we earn a monthly fee from each facility we operate in exchange for managing its operations. All but five of our facilities are located in the U.S., where we have focused increasingly on adding facilities with hospital partners, which we believe improves the long-term profitability and potential of our facilities.

Table of Contents

In the United Kingdom we operate and own three hospitals, an oncology clinic and a diagnostic and surgery center, which supplement the services provided by the government-sponsored healthcare system. Our patients choose to receive care at private facilities primarily because of the long wait to receive diagnostic procedures or elective surgery at government-sponsored facilities and pay us either from personal funds or through private insurance, which is offered by some employers as a benefit to their employees. Since acquiring our first two facilities in London in 2000, we have expanded selectively by acquiring a third facility and increasing the capacity and services offered at each facility, including the construction of an oncology clinic near the campus of one of our hospitals and other expansion projects. In January 2011, we acquired an equity interest in a diagnostic and surgery center located in Edinburgh, Scotland.
 
Our growth and success depends on our ability to continue to grow volumes at our existing facilities, to successfully open new facilities we develop, to successfully integrate acquired facilities into our operations, and to maintain productive relationships with our physician and hospital partners. We believe we will have significant opportunities to operate more facilities in the future in existing and new markets and that many of these will include hospital partners.
 
Due in large part to our partnerships with physician and hospital partners, we do not consolidate 132 of the 191 facilities in which we have ownership interests. To help analyze our results of operations, we disclose an operating measure we refer to as systemwide revenue growth, which includes both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. While revenues of our unconsolidated facilities are not recorded as revenues by USPI, we believe the information is important in understanding USPI’s financial performance because these revenues are the basis for calculating the Company’s management services revenues and, together with the expenses of our unconsolidated facilities, are the basis for USPI’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, USPI discloses growth rates and operating margins (both consolidated and unconsolidated) for the facilities that were operational in both the current and prior year periods, a group the Company refers to as same store facilities.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of consolidated financial statements under GAAP requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Estimates are based on information available as of the date financial statements are prepared. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results and that require management’s most subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies and estimates include our policies and estimates regarding consolidation, revenue recognition, income taxes and intangible assets.
 
Our determination of whether to consolidate an entity in which we hold an investment, account for it under the equity method, or carry it at cost has a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements because of the typical business model under which we operate, particularly in the United States, where the majority of the facilities we operate are partially owned by hospital partners, physicians, and other parties. These quarterly consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same consolidation policy as that used in our latest audited consolidated financial statements.
 
We also consider our accounting policy regarding intangible assets to be a critical accounting policy given the significance of intangible assets as compared to the total assets of the Company. There have been no significant changes in our application of GAAP to intangible assets since the preparation of our latest audited consolidated financial statements.
 
Our revenue recognition and accounts receivable policy and our method of accounting for income taxes involve significant judgments and estimates. There have been no significant changes in assumptions, estimates, and judgments in the preparation of these quarterly consolidated financial statements from the assumptions, estimates, and judgments used in the preparation of our latest audited consolidated financial statements.

Dispositions
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we sold four facilities we operated through unconsolidated affiliates and terminated our contracts to manage them. The resulting gains and losses are classified within “Net (gain) loss on deconsolidations, disposals and impairments” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Equity method investments that are sold do not represent discontinued operations under GAAP. These transactions are summarized below:

April 2011
  Richmond, Virginia   $ 0.6 million     $ 0.2 million

Total
      $ 4.1 million     $ 1.3 million  
                     
 
Equity Investments and Development Projects
 
While a part of our development strategy involves acquiring existing surgical facilities, we also regularly engage in the purchase and sale of equity interests with respect to facilities we are constructing or already operate. When those transactions involve our investments in unconsolidated affiliates but do not involve a change of control, the cash flow impact is classified within investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, these transactions resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately $5.6 million, which is summarized below:

(1) Represents additional capital we contributed to a joint venture with one of our not-for-profit hospital partners, which the joint venture used to acquire an equity interest in this facility. We already were providing management services to the facility. The remainder of this facility is owned by local physicians.
 
(2) Acquisition of additional equity interest in a surgical facility in which we already held an investment. This facility is jointly owned with physicians and continues to be accounted for under the equity method.
 
(3) Acquisition of a 50% noncontrolling interest in diagnostic and surgery facility in which we had no previous involvement.
 
(4) Represents additional capital we contributed to a joint venture with one of our not-for-profit hospital partners, which the joint venture used to acquire an equity interest in this facility. The remainder of this facility is owned by local physicians. We also acquired the right to manage this facility.

Table of Contents

 
We control and therefore consolidate the results of 59 of our 191 facilities. Similar to our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, we regularly engage in the purchase and sale of equity interests in our consolidated subsidiaries that do not result in a change of control. These transactions are accounted for as equity transactions, as they are undertaken among us, our consolidated subsidiaries, and noncontrolling interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we purchased and sold equity interests in various consolidated subsidiaries in the amounts of $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The difference between our carrying amount and the proceeds received or paid in each transaction is recorded as an adjustment to our additional paid-in capital. These transactions resulted in a $12.9 million decrease to our additional paid-in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Sources of Revenue
 
Revenues primarily include the following:
 
  •  net patient service revenues of the facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, which are typically those facilities in which we have ownership interests of greater than 50% or otherwise maintain effective control.
 
  •  management and contract service revenues, consisting of the fees that we earn from managing the facilities that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes and the fees we earn from providing certain consulting and administrative services to physicians and hospitals. Our consolidated revenues and expenses do not include the management fees we earn from operating the facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes as those fees are charged to subsidiaries and thus eliminate in consolidation.

Between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the value of the British pound as compared to the U.S. dollar strengthened. This increase in value resulted in the proportion of our total revenues derived from U.K. operations as stated in U.S. dollars to increase slightly in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Executive Summary
 
Our strategy continues to include growing the profits of our existing facilities, developing new facilities with hospital partners, and adding other facilities through acquisition. Our operating results in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect 6% and 7% same store facility revenue growth as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010, and our overall business also grew as a result of our operating 19 more facilities in 2011, largely as a result of acquisitions made during the second half of 2010. These growth drivers resulted in a 9% and 13% increase in operating income compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. During the first six months of 2011, we acquired an equity method investment in a diagnostic and surgery center in Edinburgh, Scotland and an equity interest in a surgical facility in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with a local hospital partner. We also opened four new facilities during the second quarter of 2011, including our newest facility, a surgical hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
Continuing a trend experienced in recent quarters, USPI’s revenue growth in the second quarter of 2011 of 6% was significantly less than our systemwide revenue growth of 12%, primarily due to our continuing to add more equity method facilities as compared to consolidated facilities. Our systemwide revenues include all facilities that we operate; USPI’s revenues only include consolidated facilities, which represent less than one-third of our facilities. Accounting for more of our facilities under the equity method is a direct result of deploying our primary U.S. business strategy of jointly owning our facilities with prominent local physicians and a hospital partner. In carrying out this strategy during the period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011, our number of equity method facilities increased from 109 to 132 while our consolidated facility count decreased from 60 to 59, driven by our acquisition and disposal activity.
 
Our net earnings from a facility, whether consolidated or equity method, are driven by the same factors: the facility’s underlying profits and revenues and our ownership percentage. Accordingly, to assess USPI’s overall operating results we often utilize systemwide and same store measures, which include all facilities. These measures were positive in the first six months of 2011, with same store revenues increasing 7% (largely corresponding to USPI’s revenue growth of 6%) and systemwide revenues increasing 13%, a product of same store growth and a net increase of 22 facilities since the beginning of 2010. U.S. facility operating margins, while slightly down in the second quarter of 2011, remained higher overall for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the first six months of 2010. Overall, these operational factors, together with acquisition and disposal activities, resulted in USPI’s operating income margin increasing to 41.4% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 40.2% in the second quarter of 2010.
 
Our Business and Key Measures
 
We operate surgical facilities in partnership with local physicians and, in the majority of facilities, a not-for-profit health system partner. We hold an ownership interest in each facility, each being operated through


32


Table of Contents

a separate legal entity owned by us, the health systems and physicians. We operate each facility on a day-to-day basis through a management services contract. Our sources of earnings from each facility consist of:
 
  •  our share of each facility’s net income or loss, which is computed by multiplying the facility’s net income or loss times the percentage of each facility’s equity interests owned by us; and
 
  •  management services revenues, computed as a percentage of each facility’s net revenues (often net of bad debt expense).
 
Our role as an owner and day-to-day manager provides us with significant influence over the operations of each facility. In a growing majority of our facilities (currently 132 of our 191 facilities), this influence does not represent control of the facility, so we account for our investment in the facility under the equity method, i.e., as an unconsolidated affiliate. We control the remaining 59 of our facilities and account for these investments as consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Our net earnings from a facility are the same under either method, but the classification of those earnings differs. For consolidated subsidiaries, our financial statements reflect 100% of the revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany amounts. The net profit attributable to owners other than us is classified within “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.”
 
For unconsolidated affiliates, our consolidated statements of income reflect our earnings in only two line items:
 
  •  equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates: our share of the net income of each facility, which is based on the facilities’ net income or loss and the percentage of the facility’s outstanding equity interests owned by us; and
 
  •  management and administrative services revenues: income we earn in exchange for managing the day-to-day operations of each facility, usually quantified as a percentage of each facility’s net revenues less bad debt expense.
 
In summary, USPI’s operating income is driven by the performance of all facilities we operate and by our ownership interest in those facilities, but USPI’s individual revenue and expense line items only contain consolidated businesses, which represent less than one-third of our facilities. This translates to trends in operating income that often do not correspond with changes in revenues and expenses. The divergence in these relationships is particularly significant when our strategy is heavily weighted to unconsolidated affiliates, as it has been in recent years. Accordingly, we review several types of information in order to monitor and analyze USPI’s results of operations, including:
 
  •  The results of operations of USPI’s unconsolidated affiliates
 
  •  USPI’s average ownership share in the facilities we operate; and
 
  •  Facility operating indicators, such as systemwide revenue growth, same store revenue growth, and same store operating margins

(1) Our weighted average percentage ownership in our unconsolidated affiliates is calculated as USPI’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates divided by the total pre-tax income of unconsolidated affiliates for each respective period. This is a non-GAAP measure but management believes it provides further useful information about USPI’s involvement in equity method investments.
 
(2) Our weighted average percentage ownership in our unconsolidated affiliates is 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 is a non-GAAP measure but management believes it provides further useful information about USPI’s involvement in equity method investments.
 
As shown above, USPI’s net patient service revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $4.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The net patient service revenues of USPI’s unconsolidated affiliates increased $46.8 million and $99.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. These variances are analyzed more extensively below under “Revenues,” but in general they reflect the fact that the revenues of our unconsolidated facilities, which largely represent the facilities we operate under our primary business model of partnering with physicians and a hospital partner, are growing at a faster rate than the revenues of our consolidated facilities. In addition to the underlying growth rates at these facilities, we continue to shift more of our facilities into our primary business model, which usually moves them from the consolidated to the unconsolidated group. Once netted with expenses, these increased revenues at our unconsolidated affiliates, resulted in their earning $21.0 million more in net income on year-to-date basis than in the corresponding prior year period. Our share of that increase, based on our ownership levels in these facilities, was $5.5 million, and is classified within equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statement of income.
 
Our Ownership Interests in the Facilities We Operate
 
Our earnings are predominantly driven by our investments in the facilities we operate, so we focus on those businesses’ growth rates together with the percentage ownership interest we hold in them to help us understand our results of operations. Our average ownership interest in the U.S. surgical facilities we operate is as follows:

Our average ownership interest for each group of facilities is determined by many factors, including the ownership levels we negotiate in our acquisition and development activities, the relative performance of facilities in which we own percentages higher or lower than average, and other factors. As described earlier, our increased focus on partnering our facilities with not-for-profit health systems in addition to physicians generally leads to our accounting for more facilities under the equity method (unconsolidated) as reflected in our number of unconsolidated facilities increasing by 23 from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011, while our number of consolidated facilities decreased by one. We generally have a lower ownership percentage in an equity method facility as compared to a consolidated facility.
 
Revenues
 
Our consolidated net revenues increased 6% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The table below quantifies several significant items impacting year over year growth.

Facility Growth
 
Our systemwide revenues grew 12% and 13% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the corresponding prior year period. This growth is comprised of a 6% and 7% increase in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, in the net revenues of our same store facilities, which are those facilities we operated in both periods, and revenues of newly acquired facilities.
 
Same store growth was driven most heavily by an increase in the average complexity of our cases, which resulted in higher average revenues per case, and also by a 1% increase in the number of cases performed at our U.S. facilities. Our U.K. facilities admissions decreased due largely to fewer referrals from the National Health Service (NHS) and a decrease in self-pay business, but the overall impact on revenues was more than offset by a shift to higher-paying cases and a stronger British pound. The self-pay business is generally considered more susceptible to changes in general economic conditions, as the cost is borne entirely by the patient rather than shared with private insurers or borne by the NHS.
 
The following table summarizes our same store facility revenue growth rates, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010:

(1) Our overall domestic same store growth in net revenue per case for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, was favorably impacted by the 7% and 8% growth, respectively, at our thirteen same store hospitals, which on average perform more complex cases and thus earn a higher average net revenue per case than ambulatory surgery centers. The net revenue per case growth at our ambulatory surgery centers was 3% during the second quarter of 2011.
 
(2) Calculated using 2011 exchange rates for both periods. Although this computation represents a non-GAAP measure, we believe that using a constant currency translation rate more accurately reflects the trend of the business.
 
Joint Ventures With Not-For-Profit Hospitals
 
The addition of new facilities continues to be more heavily weighted to U.S. surgical facilities with a hospital partner, both as we initiate joint venture agreements with new systems and as we add facilities to our existing arrangements. Facilities have been added to hospital joint ventures both through construction of new facilities (de novos) and through our contribution of our equity interests in existing facilities into a hospital joint venture structure, effectively creating three-way joint ventures by sharing our ownership in these facilities with a hospital partner while leaving the existing physician ownership intact.
 
Consistent with this strategy, our net overall number of facilities increased by 19 from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011, while the net increase in facilities partnered with not-for-profit hospitals and local physicians increased by 20. Our facility that is under construction at June 30, 2011 also involves a hospital partner. We continue to explore affiliating more facilities with hospital partners, especially for facilities in markets where we already

operate other facilities with a hospital partner. The following table summarizes the facilities we operated as of June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Facility Operating Margins
 
Same store U.S. facility operating margins increased 40 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was due to higher case volumes, more complex cases, and improvement in the management of operating expenses. Continuing a trend we have experienced in recent years, the year-over-year change in the operating margins of facilities partnered with a not-for-profit healthcare system was more favorable than the change experienced by the facilities that do not have a hospital partner. The facilities partnered with a health system are, on average, younger than our other facilities. Younger facilities’ margins grow more rapidly on average than more mature facilities, which generally have higher margins but with less growth. The pattern of our acquisition and development activity can also affect this relationship over time.
 
Our U.K. facilities, which comprise five of our 191 facilities at June 30, 2011, experienced a decrease in overall facility margins in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year period, largely due to the reduction in NHS and self-pay business described above.
 
The following table summarizes the year-over-year changes in our same store facility operating margins (see footnote 1 below), comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010:

(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.
 
(2) Calculated using 2011 exchange rates for both periods. Although this computation represents a non-GAAP measure, we believe that using a constant currency translation rate more accurately reflects the trend of the business. In addition, the $1.0 million unfavorable impact of a payment of value-added tax in the first quarter of 2010 has been excluded from U.K. same store facility operating margins.
 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
As discussed more fully in “Revenues,” our consolidated revenues increased by $7.9 million, or 5.5%, to $151.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $143.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. A portion of the increase, approximately $2.4 million, was driven by operations resulting from case growth and higher net revenue per case. Acquisitions of facilities increased revenues $4.2 million. Other factors, including the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, and a decrease in revenues resulting from our selling a portion of our interest in two facilities (causing us to deconsolidate them), drove the remaining net increase in revenues.
 
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $1.9 million, or 10.3%, to $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in equity in earnings was primarily driven by acquisitions of equity method investments in facilities and deconsolidations of facilities we already operated, which together increased equity in earnings by $2.1 million. Other factors included $0.5 million from growth in our existing facilities and start-up losses of $0.7 million from recently opened facilities. The number of facilities we account for under the equity method increased by 20 from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
 
Depreciation and amortization was $7.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of revenues, decreased slightly to 5.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Operating income increased $5.0 million, or 8.6%, to $62.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $57.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased as a percentage of revenues to 41.2% from 40.2%, respectively. These increases were driven by the increases in revenues of our facilities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates described above, and additionally from net gains on disposals of four facilities. These factors also drove the increase in net income attributable to USPI’s common stockholder.
 
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $0.7 million to $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to lower overall debt balances at June 30, 2011.
 
Provision for income taxes was $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rates (based on pretax earnings attributable to USPI’s stockholder) were 37.8% and 37.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The increase in revenues of our consolidated facilities, as described above, drove an increase in our consolidated subsidiaries’ net income. As most of our consolidated businesses include owners besides us, an increase in the earnings of these businesses resulted in an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
 
Overall, while our facilities average operating income margin decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, the increase in revenues at these facilities described, together with earnings from acquired facilities and gains from selling interests in four facilities, resulted in higher net income attributable to USPI’s common stockholder during the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
As discussed more fully in “Revenues,” our consolidated revenues increased by $17.1 million, or 6.1%, to $298.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $281.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. A portion of the increase, approximately $7.9 million, was driven by operations resulting from case growth and higher net revenue per case. Acquisitions of facilities increased revenues $8.8 million. Other factors, including the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, and a decrease in revenues resulting from our selling a portion of our interest in two facilities (causing us to deconsolidate them), drove the remaining net increase in revenues.
 
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $5.5 million, or 17.0% to $38.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in equity in earnings was primarily driven by acquisitions of equity method investments in facilities and deconsolidations of facilities we already operated, which together increased equity in earnings by $3.7 million. Other factors included $2.5 million from growth in our existing facilities and start-up losses of $0.7 million from recently opened facilities. The number of facilities we account for under the equity method increased by 20 from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
 
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of revenues, decreased slightly to 5.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Operating income increased $13.5 million, or 12.5%, to $121.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $107.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and increased as a percentage of revenues to 40.8% from 38.4%, respectively. These increases were driven by the increases in revenues of our facilities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates described above, and additionally from net gains on disposals of four facilities. Operating income was negatively affected during the first half of 2010 by a $1.0 million expense due to the British tax authority changing its position on a value-added tax (VAT) refund awarded to our U.K. subsidiary in the second quarter of 2009. These factors also drove the increase in net income attributable to USPI’s common stockholder.
 
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $1.2 million to $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. A portion of the decrease is due to lower market interest rates and debt balances at June 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a $0.8 million interest expense related to the VAT noted above, whereas in the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a $0.8 million expense as the British tax authority reclaimed the amount.
 
Provision for income taxes was $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rates (based on pretax earnings attributable to USPI’s stockholder) were 37.7% and 38.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The increase in revenues of our consolidated facilities, as described above, drove an increase in our consolidated subsidiaries’ net income. As most of our consolidated businesses include owners besides us, an increase in the earnings of these businesses resulted in an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
 
Overall, our facilities average operating income margin increased slightly during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the corresponding prior year period, so the increase in revenues at these facilities described, together with earnings from acquired facilities and gains from selling interests in four facilities and the $1.8 million prior year expense related to the VAT assessment described above, resulted in higher net income attributable to USPI’s common stockholder during the first half of 2011 as compared to the first half of 2010.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company generated $72.7 million of cash flows from operating activities as compared to $76.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash flows from operating activities decreased $3.7 million, or 5%, from the prior year period, primarily as a result of our growth in

earnings being more than offset by increased federal tax payments. Our federal tax payments in the first half of 2010 were lower due to our still having significant net operating loss carryforwards to apply.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s net cash used in investing activities was $16.7 million, consisting primarily of $13.3 million used for purchases of property and equipment. Approximately $6.2 million of property and equipment purchases were related to ongoing development projects, and the remaining $7.1 million represented purchases of equipment at existing facilities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $54.6 million and resulted primarily from net payments on long-term debt of $29.6 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests of $32.6 million and a net increase in cash held on behalf of noncontrolling interests of $6.3 million.
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $61.7 million at June 30, 2011 as compared to $60.3 million at December 31, 2010, and the net working capital deficit was $77.3 million at June 30, 2011 as compared to $100.2 million at December 31, 2010. The overall negative working capital position at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is primarily the result of $122.6 million and $116.1 million due to affiliates, respectively, associated with our practice of holding our unconsolidated facilities’ cash. As discussed below, we have sufficient availability under our credit facility, together with our operating cash flows, to service our obligations.
 
Debt
 
We intend to fund our ongoing capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings under our $85.0 million revolving credit facility. We believe that funds generated by operations and funds available under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements over at least the next 12 months. However, in the future, we may have to incur additional debt or issue additional debt or equity securities from time to time. We may be unable to obtain sufficient financing on satisfactory terms or at all.
 
We and our subsidiaries, affiliates (subject to certain limitations imposed by existing indebtedness), or significant stockholders, in their sole discretion, may from time to time, purchase, redeem, exchange or retire any of our outstanding debt in privately negotiated or open market purchases, or otherwise. Such transactions will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
 
Senior secured credit facility
 
The senior secured credit facility (credit facility) provides for borrowings of up to $615.0 million (with a $150.0 million accordion feature described below), consisting of (1) an $85.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of six years, including a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, and a $20.0 million swing-line loan sub-facility; and (2) a $530.0 million term loan facility (including a $100.0 million delayed draw facility) with a maturity of seven years. We have utilized the availability under the $530.0 million term loan facility and are making scheduled quarterly principal payments. The term loans require principal payments in the amount of $4.3 million per annum in equal quarterly installments and $0.2 million per quarter with respect to the delayed draw facility, with the remaining balance maturing in 2014. No principal payments are required on the revolving credit facility until its maturity in 2013.
 
We may request additional tranches of term loans or additional commitments to the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions. Interest rates on the credit facility are based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.25%. Additionally, we currently pay quarterly commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the daily-unused commitment of the revolving credit facility. We also currently pay a quarterly participation fee of 2.13% per annum related to outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2011, we had $505.8 million of debt outstanding under the credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.6%. At June 30, 2011, we had $83.4 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility, representing the facility’s $85.0 million capacity, net of $1.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.
 
The credit facility is guaranteed by USPI Holdings, Inc. and its current and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all real and personal property of these subsidiaries, as well as a first priority pledge

of our capital stock, the capital stock of each of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including financial covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to borrow money or guarantee other indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, enter into sale-leaseback transactions or issue and sell capital stock. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011.
 
Senior subordinated notes
 
Also in connection with the merger, we issued $240.0 million of 87/8% senior subordinated notes and $200.0 million of 91/4%/10% senior subordinated toggle notes (together, the Notes), all due in 2017. Interest on the Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which commenced on November 1, 2007. All interest payments on the senior subordinated notes are payable in cash. The initial interest payment on the toggle notes was payable in cash. For any interest period after November 1, 2007 through November 1, 2012, we may pay interest on the toggle notes (i) in cash, (ii) by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding toggle notes or by issuing payment-in-kind notes (PIK Interest) or (iii) by paying interest on half the principal amount of the toggle notes in cash and half in PIK Interest. PIK Interest is paid at 10% and cash interest is paid at 91/4% per annum. To date, we have paid all interest payments in cash. At June 30, 2011, we had $437.5 million of Notes outstanding. The Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of our company; however, the Notes are guaranteed by all of our current and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, the Notes contain various restrictive covenants, including financial covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to borrow money or guarantee other indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, enter into sale-leaseback transactions or issue and sell capital stock. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011.
 
United Kingdom borrowings
 
In April 2007, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which covered our existing overdraft facility and term loan facility (Term Loan A). This agreement provides a total overdraft facility of £2.0 million, and an additional Term Loan B facility of £10 million, which was drawn in April 2007. In March 2008, we further amended our U.K. Agreement to provide for a £2.0 million Term Loan C facility. We borrowed the entire £2.0 million in March 2008 to acquire property adjacent to one of our hospitals in London. In June 2009, we renewed our overdraft facility. Under the renewal, we must pay a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the overdraft facility each quarter. Excluding availability on the overdraft facility, no additional borrowings can be made under the Term Loan A, B or C facilities. At June 30, 2011, we had approximately £32.4 million ($52.0 million) outstanding under the U.K. credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.5%.
 
Interest on the borrowings is based on a three-month or six-month LIBOR, or other rate as the bank may agree, plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50%. Quarterly principal payments are required on the Term Loan A, which began in June 2007, and approximate $4.8 million in the first and second year, $6.4 million in the third and fourth year; $8.0 million in the fifth year, with the remainder due in the sixth year after the April 2007 closing. The Term Loan B does not require any principal payments prior to maturity and matures in 2013. The Term Loan C requires quarterly principal payments of approximately £0.1 million ($0.2 million), which began in June 2008 and continue through its maturity date of February 2013 when the final payment of £0.5 million ($0.8 million) is due. The borrowings are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom with a security interest in various assets, and a pledge of the capital stock of the U.K. borrowers and the capital stock of certain guarantor subsidiaries. The Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including financial covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain U.K. subsidiaries to borrow money or guarantee other indebtedness, grant liens on our assets, make investments, use assets as security in other transactions, pay dividends, enter into leases or sell assets or capital stock. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011.
 
We also have the ability to borrow under a capital asset finance facility in the U.K. of up to £2.5 million ($4.0 million). We borrowed against the facility in June 2010 and November 2010 and have £1.3 million

($2.1 million) outstanding at June 30, 2011. The terms of the borrowings require monthly principal and interest payments over 48 months. We have pledged capital assets as collateral against these borrowings.

(3) Includes related principal and interest.
 
Debt at Operating Subsidiaries
 
Our operating subsidiaries, many of which have noncontrolling investors who share in the cash flow of these entities, have debt consisting primarily of capitalized lease obligations. This debt is generally non-recourse to USPI, the parent company, and is generally secured by the assets of those operating entities. The total amount of these obligations, which was approximately $46.0 million at June 30, 2011, is included in our consolidated balance sheet because the borrower or obligated entity meets the requirements for consolidated financial reporting. Our average percentage ownership, weighted based on the individual subsidiary’s amount of debt and capitalized lease obligations, of these consolidated subsidiaries was 45% at June 30, 2011. Similar to our consolidated facilities, our unconsolidated facilities have debts, including capitalized lease obligations, that are generally non-recourse to USPI. With respect to our unconsolidated facilities, these debts are not included in our consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2011, the total debt on the balance sheets of our unconsolidated affiliates was approximately $418.0 million. Our average percentage ownership, weighted based on the individual affiliate’s amount of debt, of these unconsolidated affiliates was 26% at June 30, 2011. USPI or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries had collectively guaranteed $36.1 million of the $418.0 million in total debt of our unconsolidated affiliates as of June 30, 2011. In addition, our unconsolidated affiliates have obligations under operating leases, of which USPI or a wholly owned subsidiary had guaranteed $13.7 million as of June 30, 2011. Of the total $49.8 million of guarantees related to unconsolidated affiliates, approximately $8.7 million represents guarantees of obligations of five facilities which have been sold. We have full recourse to the buyers with respect to the $8.7 million related to the sold facilities. Some of the facilities we are currently developing will be accounted for under the equity method. As these facilities become operational, they will have debt and lease obligations.

In connection with our acquisition of equity interests in a surgery center in 2007, we had the option to purchase additional ownership in the facility during a specified time period in the purchase agreement. If we did not exercise the purchase option, we were required to pay an option termination fee, which was equal to the lesser of an EBITDA calculation, as specified in the purchase agreement, or $2.5 million. We elected to purchase only a portion of the ownership as stated in the agreement and therefore paid a $1.5 million termination fee in 2009. The parties agreed to another purchase option that can be exercised at any time during the 60 day period following September 30, 2011 or the remaining $1.0 million option termination fee would be required to be paid.
 
Our U.K. subsidiary has expanded our Parkside hospital, already our largest facility. Located outside London in the Wimbledon area, this facility’s expansion cost approximately £11.1 million ($17.8 million). The expansion of the outpatient clinic was completed in August 2010 and the refurbishment of a portion of the hospital was completed in the second quarter of 2011. A £17.0 million ($27.3 million) refurbishment and extension program has begun at our Holly House hospital and is due to be completed by late 2012. This expansion will provide three new operating rooms, an endoscopy suite, ten additional patient rooms, an eight bed day unit and six additional physician offices.
 
Related Party Transactions
 
Included in general and administrative expenses are management fees payable to an affiliate of Welsh Carson, which holds a controlling interest in our company, in the amount of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for both the three month and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such amounts accrue at an annual rate of $2.0 million. We pay $1.0 million in cash per year with the unpaid balance due and payable upon a change in control. At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $4.5 million accrued related to such management fee, of which $0.3 million is included in other current liabilities and $4.2 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
ITEM 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in interest rates and other relevant market risks. Our primary market risk is a change in interest rates associated with variable-rate borrowings. Historically, we have not held or issued derivative financial instruments other than the use of variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps for portions of our borrowings under credit facilities with commercial lenders as required by credit agreements. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps serve to stabilize our cash flow and expense but ultimately may cost more or less in interest than if we had carried all of our debt at a variable rate over the swap term.
 
As further discussed in Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in order to manage interest rate risk related to a portion of our variable-rate U.K. debt, on February 29, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of £20.0 million. The interest rate swap required us to pay 4.99% and we received interest at a variable rate of three-month GBP-LIBOR. The interest rate swap matured in March 2011.
 
We entered into a new interest swap effective March 31, 2011 for a notional amount of £18.0 million ($28.9 million). The interest rate swap requires us to pay 1.45% and to receive interest at a variable rate of three-month GBP-LIBOR (currently 0.83%), and is reset quarterly. No collateral is required under the interest rate swap agreement. As of June 30, 2011, the rate under our swap agreement was unfavorable compared to the market. The swap matures in June 2012.
 
Additionally, effective July 24, 2008, in order to manage interest rate risk related to a portion of our variable-rate U.S. Term Loan B, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $200.0 million. The interest rate swap requires us to pay 3.6525% and to receive interest at a variable rate of three-month USD-LIBOR (0.27% at June 30, 2011), which is paid and reset on a quarterly basis. No collateral is required under the interest rate swap agreement. As of June 30, 2011, the rate under our swap agreement was unfavorable compared to the market. The interest rate swap expired in July 2011.
 
At June 30, 2011, the fair values of U.K. and U.S. interest rate swaps were current liabilities of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using present value models of the contractual payments. Inputs to the model were based on prevailing LIBOR market data

and incorporate credit data that measure nonperformance risk. The estimated fair value represents the theoretical exit cost we would have to pay to transfer the obligation to a market participant with similar credit risk.
 
Our financing arrangements with many commercial lenders are based on the spread over Prime or LIBOR. At June 30, 2011, $691.1 million of our outstanding debt was in fixed rate instruments and the remaining $328.9 million was in variable rate instruments. Accordingly, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in additional annual expense of approximately $3.3 million.
 
Our United Kingdom revenues are a significant portion of our total revenues. We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally, including foreign currency exchange risk and taxes and regulatory changes. Our United Kingdom facilities operate in a natural hedge to a large extent because both expenses and revenues are denominated in the local currency. Additionally, our borrowings in the United Kingdom are currently denominated in the local currency. Historically, the cash generated from our operations in the United Kingdom has been utilized within that country to finance development and acquisition activity as well as for repayment of debt denominated in the local currency. Accordingly, we have not generally utilized financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.
 
ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by applicable SEC rules) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined by applicable SEC rules) that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
 
 
ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings
