REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To:	The Stockholders and Board of Directors

Dynacq Healthcare, Inc.

Houston, Texas

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dynacq Healthcare, Inc., as of May 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2009 and 2008. These interim 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 accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Dynacq Healthcare, Inc., as of August 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated November 21, 2008, 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 August 31, 2008, 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

May 31, 2009

(reviewed)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying reviewed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The majority of the Company’s expenses are “cost of revenue” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative by the Company would include the corporate office costs, including advertising and marketing expenses, which were approximately $2.7 million and $1.6 million for the quarters ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $8.4 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These reviewed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements at August 31, 2008. Operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2009.

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year period’s presentation. The impact of such reclassification was not significant to the prior year period’s overall presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments Available-for-Sale

The Company accounts for its investments, which are available-for-sale securities, under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”) as amended by SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. These investments are subject to default risk.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2009, the Company has invested in various bonds. These investments are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value as of May 31, 2009, based on the quoted market prices as of that date. Unrealized depreciation, if any, in the fair value is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effect. The Company monitors its investment portfolio for any decline in fair value that is other than temporary and records any such impairment as an impairment loss.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by use of the average cost method.

General

As of May 31, 2009, the Company operated one facility each in the Houston metropolitan area (Pasadena facility) and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (Garland facility) and owned 100% of the equity interest in Dynacq Huai Bei Healthcare, Inc. (“Dynacq-Huai Bei”), a corporation formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China to provide healthcare management services in that country. Effective March 1 2009, Dynacq-Huai Bei is managing Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China.

Management Rights

In December 2008, Dynacq-Huai Bei advanced approximately $2.6 million to purchase the management rights to RuiAn Second People’s Hospital in RuiAn, China. On March 2, 2009 Dynacq-Huai Bei acquired through subsidiaries the right to manage that hospital for eleven years and five and a half months through August 14, 2020. Dynacq-Huai Bei will be ultimately responsible for funding any operating deficits, and be rewarded with any operating profits, of the hospital during the management period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant of the Company’s estimates is the determination of revenue to recognize for the services the Company provides and the determination of the contractual allowance. See “Revenue Recognition” below for further discussion. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.

Net Income per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of net income per common and common equivalent share:


	Three months ended May 31,		Nine months ended May 31,
	2009	2008	2009	2008
Number of weighted average common shares outstanding	15,521,489	15,796,387	15,540,389	15,845,039
Assumed exercise of stock options	199,363	671,545	241,400	704,655

Average diluted shares outstanding	15,720,852	16,467,932	15,781,789	16,549,694

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. However, if it is anti-dilutive, the dilutive effect of the stock options is not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share. Stock options with exercise prices exceeding current market prices that were excluded from the computation of net income per share amounted to approximately 575,000 shares and 192,000 shares for the quarters ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s 2000 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for options and other stock-based awards that may be granted to eligible employees, officers, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company had reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock for future issuance under the Plan. As of May 31, 2009, there remain 1,402,229 shares which can be issued under the Plan, after giving effect to stock splits and shares issued under the Plan. The Plan permits stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards, all of which may or may not be subject to the achievement of one or more performance objectives.

The purposes of the Plan generally are to retain and attract persons of training, experience and ability to serve as employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to serve as non-employee directors of the Company, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Committee has the power to determine which eligible employees will receive awards, the timing and manner of the grant of such awards, the exercise price of stock options (which may not be less than market value on the date of grant), the number of shares, and all of the terms of the awards. The Company may at any time amend or terminate

the Plan. However, no amendment that would impair the rights of any participant with respect to outstanding grants can be made without the participant’s prior consent. Stockholder approval of an amendment to the Plan is necessary only when required by applicable law or stock exchange rules.

For the quarter ended May 31, 2009, there were no equity-based compensation awards granted. Generally, options granted become exercisable in annual installments of 25 percent beginning on the first anniversary date, and expire after five to ten years. The following table summarizes the stock option activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 (share amounts in thousands):


	Shares		Weighted Average Option Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share	Aggregate Intrinsic Value⁽¹⁾
Outstanding, August 31, 2008	1,571		$	3.52	—	$	2,139,450
Granted	—			—	—		—
Exercised	(2	)		2.50	—		1,755
Expired or canceled	(182	)		2.64	—		—

Outstanding, May 31, 2009	1,387		$	3.46	—	$	934,930

⁽¹⁾

These amounts represent the difference between the exercise price and $3.68, the closing price of Dynacq common stock on May 31, 2009 as reported on the NASDAQ stock market, for all in-the-money options outstanding. For exercised options, intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the closing price of Dynacq common stock on the date of exercise.

For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2009, the Company received $3,750 for stock options exercised. Total tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock options exercised was $-0- for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2009. For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2008, the Company received $264,277 and $571,546, respectively, for stock options exercised. Total tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock options exercised was $24,500 and $70,800 for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2008, respectively.

The following summarizes information related to stock options outstanding at May 31, 2009, and related weighted average price and life information:


	Options Outstanding				Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Shares	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
	(Share Amounts In Thousands)
$ 2.50 – 2.75	813	4.1	$	2.53	181		$	2.53
$ 4.44 – 5.10	574	4.0		4.78	474			4.71

Total	1,387	4.1	$	3.46	655		$	4.11

The above tables for stock option activities and stock options outstanding do not include a performance share award granted on July 25, 2008 by the Compensation Committee to an employee whereby the employee can earn up to 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock if certain operating performance criteria are met, beginning in fiscal 2010. The number of shares that are issuable each year is to be determined by quantifying the performance criteria and dividing the quantified amount by $3.74, which was the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of the award. The performance period extends for ten years or until such time as the 1 million shares of common stock have been awarded.

Additional information relating to the Plan at May 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 is as follows (in thousands):


	May 31, 2009	August 31, 2008
Options exercisable	655	838
Options available for grant and reserved common stock shares for stock option plans	1,402	1,220

For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2009, stock-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s stock options was $121,001 and $364,512, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding stock options as of May 31, 2009 was $1.1 million, and will be recognized, in general, over 2.3 years. The weighted average number of years to recognize the compensation expense is 1.2 years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective September 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for our financial assets and liabilities. Management uses the fair value hierarchy of SFAS No. 157, “Fair-Value Measurements,” which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of financial instruments is estimated based on market trading information, where available. Absent published market values for an instrument or other assets, management uses observable market data to arrive at its estimates of fair value. Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


Level 1		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2		Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted price for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other input that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured and reported in the Company’s statement of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2009, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:


	Fair Value Measurements at May 31, 2009
	Quoted prices in active markets for identical		Significant other observable inputs	Significant unobservable

Revenue Recognition

Background

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is significant because net patient service revenue is a primary component of its results of operations. Revenue is recognized as services are delivered. The determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in connection with the Company’s services is subject to significant judgments and estimates, which are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company has established billing rates for its medical services which it bills as gross revenue as services are delivered. Gross billed revenues are then reduced by the Company’s estimate of the discount (contractual allowance) to arrive at net patient service revenues. Net patient service revenues are based on historical cash collections as discussed below and may not represent amounts ultimately collected. The Company does adjust current period revenue for actual differences in estimated revenue recorded in prior periods and actual cash collections.

The Company has recorded additional revenue of $1,324,000 and $5,841,000 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 related to amounts collected on Medical Dispute Resolution (“MDR”) accounts receivable. The Company settled various MDR claims for our Pasadena and Garland facilities and collected a total of $20,194,000 through May 31, 2008, for dates of service ranging from 2001 to 2005. This amount represents payments received initially at the time of filing of the claim, additional monies received upon filing the MDR claim and the settlement amount. On these closed MDR accounts receivable, the Company had recognized approximately $14,353,000 as net revenue during the relevant fiscal years when the service was performed. Gross billings on this block of receivables were $27,453,000. Since the Company actually collected $5,841,000 more on this block of receivables, additional revenue of $682,000, $3,835,000 and $1,324,000 was recorded in the first, second and third quarters of the prior fiscal year.

Contractual Allowance

Starting March 1, 2008, the Company computes its contractual allowance based on the estimated collections on its gross billed charges. The Company computes its estimate by taking into account collections received for the services performed and also estimating amounts collectible within the next six months. Prior to March 1, 2008, the contractual allowance was calculated based on the ratio of the Company’s historical cash collections during the trailing twelve months on a case-by-case basis by operating facility. This ratio of cash collections to billed services was then applied to the gross billed services by operating facility. The following table shows gross revenues and contractual allowances for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008:


	Three months ended May 31,						Nine months ended May 31,
	2009			2008⁽¹⁾			2009			2008⁽¹⁾
Gross billed charges	$	28,559,053		$	36,213,048		$	105,228,701		$	100,068,247
Contractual allowance		15,554,717			22,037,151			68,557,807			50,970,167

Net revenue	$	13,004,336		$	14,175,897		$	36,670,894		$	49,098,080

Contractual allowance percentage		54	%		61	%		65	%		51	%

⁽¹⁾	The contractual allowance percentage without the additional revenue discussed above under “Revenue Recognition Policy” would be 65% and 57% respectively for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2008.

A significant amount of our net revenue results from Texas workers’ compensation claims, which are governed by the rules and regulations of the Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation (“TDWC”) and the workers’ compensation healthcare networks. If one of our hospitals chooses to participate in a network, the amount of revenue that will be generated from workers’ compensation claims will be governed by the network contract.

For claims arising prior to the implementation of workers’ compensation networks and out of network claims, inpatient and outpatient surgical services are either reimbursed pursuant to the Acute Care In-Patient Hospital Fee Guideline or at a “fair and reasonable” rate for services in which the fee guideline is not applicable. Starting March 1, 2008, the Texas Workers’ Compensation 2008 Acute Care Hospital Outpatient and Inpatient Facility Fee Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) became effective. Under these Guidelines, the reimbursement amounts are determined by applying the most recently adopted and effective Medicare reimbursement formula and factors; however, if the maximum allowable reimbursement for the procedure performed cannot be calculated using these Guidelines, then reimbursement is determined on a fair and reasonable basis.

Based on these new Guidelines, the reimbursement due the Company for workers’ compensation cases is lower than we previously experienced. The Company has continued accepting Texas workers’ compensation cases, and

has not made any substantial changes in its focus towards such cases. Our net patient service revenue for Texas workers’ compensation cases as a percentage of gross billings has decreased primarily as a result of lower reimbursement rates for workers’ compensation procedures still being performed.

Should our facility disagree with the amount of reimbursement provided by a third-party payer, we are required to pursue the MDR process at the TDWC to request proper reimbursement for services. In the past, the Company had been successful in its pursuit of collections regarding the stop-loss cases pending before the State Office of Administrative Hearings (“SOAH”), receiving positive rulings in over 90% of its claims presented for administrative determination. The 2007 district court decision upholding our interpretation of the statute as applied to the stop-loss claims was appealed by certain insurance carriers, and the Third Court of Appeals determined that in order for a hospital to be reimbursed at 75% of its usual and customary audited charges for an inpatient admission, the hospital must not only bill at least $40,000, but also show that the admission involved unusually costly and unusually extensive services. Procedurally, the decision means that each case where a carrier raised an issue regarding whether the services provided were unusually costly or unusually extensive would be remanded to either SOAH or MDR for a case-by-case determination of whether the services provided meet these standards, once the definitions of those standards are determined. A request for rehearing of the Third Court of Appeals decision was denied. A petition asking the Texas Supreme Court to review the Third Court of Appeals decision was filed on March 30, 2009 and on May 22, 2009, the Texas Supreme Court requested that the respondents file a response to the petition for review. The respondents filed a response on June 22, 2009. We anticipate further, lengthy litigation at the Travis County District Courts and the Texas Courts of Appeal to establish the legal definition for these standards. Because of this lengthy process and the uncertainty of recovery in these cases, collection of a material amount of funds in these pending stop-loss cases is not anticipated during the 2009 fiscal year.

Through May 2009, insurance carriers have voluntarily paid the awards in the decisions and orders issued by SOAH, plus interest, in approximately 180 cases, involving approximately $11 million. In most of these cases, the carriers have requested refunds of the payments made in the event that the SOAH decisions and orders are reversed on appeal. We believe the likelihood that the Company will be obligated to refund the payments is remote. Our request that the TDWC Commissioner enforce the awards which have not been voluntarily paid by the carriers has been refused in approximately 130 cases.

Claims regarding payment for hospital outpatient services remain pending at the TDWC. It is expected that these claims will be adjudicated at SOAH and ultimately in the Texas district and appellate courts. The basis for reimbursement for these services made the subject of these pending cases is the determination of “fair and reasonable” charges. In 2007, we received unfavorable rulings from SOAH in all of our appeals of unfavorable decisions related to services provided in 2001 and 2002. The 179 cases, which have been appealed to the Travis County district courts, challenge the constitutionality of the relevant statutory language. The Company received an unfavorable ruling in its lead case in March 2009, which ruling has been appealed to the Third Court of Appeals. If upheld by the Texas Court of Appeal, this ruling will impact cases in which a fee guideline was not applicable, specifically all pending cases involving ambulatory surgical services provided in 2001 and 2002 as well as all pending cases involving hospital outpatient services provided prior to March 1, 2008. Successful collection of material amounts in these cases is unlikely.

We are currently pursuing claims against two healthcare agents relating to contracts with certain of our facilities which set out reimbursement guidelines by several workers’ compensation carriers at a minimum of 70% of the facility’s charges. Discovery is continuing on these claims to determine which carriers are involved and the amount of reimbursement due to us.

Due to the uncertainties regarding the accounts receivable in the MDR process, the recent request for review of the Third Court of Appeals’ opinion and our legal counsel’s advice that settlements with insurance carriers have virtually stopped, the Company has fully reserved all accounts receivable related to the MDR process as of August 31, 2008 and May 31, 2009. Any monies collected for these MDR accounts receivable will be recorded as current period’s net patient service revenues.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent net receivables for services provided by the Company. Due to reasons discussed above for writing down all MDR accounts receivable, the Company does not have any long term receivables since

August 31, 2008, and expects to collect the net receivables within twelve months from the end of the current period. At each balance sheet date management reviews the accounts receivable for collectibility.

The contractual allowance stated as a percentage of gross receivables at the balance sheet dates is larger than the contractual allowance percentage used to reduce gross billed charges due to the application of partial cash collections to the outstanding gross receivable balances, without any adjustment being made to the contractual allowance. The contractual allowance amounts netted against gross receivables are not adjusted until such time as the final collections on an individual receivable are recognized.

Discontinued Operations

The Company sold its land in The Woodlands, Texas in the quarter ended November 30, 2007. The Company sold its Baton Rouge facility in the quarter ended February 29, 2008, and has accounted for its operations as discontinued operations. A summary of financial information related to the Company’s discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 is as follows:

Contingencies

The Company maintains various insurance policies that cover each of its facilities; including occurrence medical malpractice coverage. In addition, all physicians granted privileges at the Company’s facilities are required to maintain medical malpractice insurance coverage. The Company also maintains general liability and property insurance coverage for each facility, including flood coverage. The Company does not currently maintain workers’ compensation coverage in Texas. In regard to the Employee Health Insurance Plan, the Company is self-insured with specific and aggregate re-insurance with stop-loss levels appropriate for the Company’s group size. Coverage is maintained in amounts management deems adequate.

The Company is routinely involved in litigation and administrative proceedings that are incidental to its business. Specifically, all judicial review of unsatisfactory determinations of reimbursement amounts due us for our Texas facilities’ fees must be made in the district courts of Travis County, Texas in what can often be a lengthy procedure. Please refer to Revenue Recognition, as well as Business – Government Regulation – Texas Workers’ Compensation Systems and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Revenue Recognition in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, for a detailed description of the MDR process and our accounts receivable. The Company cannot predict whether any litigation or administrative proceeding to which it is currently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Industry Segments and Geographic Information

We manage our operations through two operating segments, based on our geographic areas: U.S. and China.

U.S. Division

The U.S. Division owns two hospitals, which are the Pasadena facility and the Garland facility. Our U.S. Division develops and operates general acute care hospitals designed to handle specialized surgeries such as bariatric, orthopedic and neuro-spine surgeries. Both of these facilities also provide pain management services, as well as minor emergency treatment services. The Pasadena facility also provides sleep laboratory services.

China Division

Our China Division is set up to provide healthcare management services in China. Effective March 1, 2009, Dynacq-Huai Bei is managing the Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China. Dynacq-Huai Bei is ultimately responsible for funding any operating deficits, and is to be rewarded with any operating profits, of that hospital during the management period. For the quarter ended May 31, 2009, Second People’s Hospital had net patient service revenues of approximately $1.2 million.

In April 2008, the Company formed Dynacq-Huai Bei, to provide healthcare management services to hospitals in China. Dynacq-Huai Bei has entered into an Agreement to Assign Management with Rui An City Department of Health assigning to Dynacq-Huai Bei the right to manage the operations, human resources and financials of the Third People’s Hospital in Rui An beginning October 2009, when the new hospital currently under construction is completed and operational. Dynacq-Huai Bei is currently overseeing the construction of that hospital until it is completed.

The Company has also organized Sino Bond Inc. Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Sino Bond”), to hold investments in Hong Kong. Sino Bond has no operations to date but has entered into a three-year marketing contract effective October 1, 2008 for marketing of healthcare services to be provided by Dynacq subsidiaries in China and Southeast Asia.

We generally evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and non-recurring charges and other criteria. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. There are no transfers between segments.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2008

U.S. Division

Net patient service revenue decreased by $2,348,839, or 17%, from $14,175,897 to $11,827,058, and total surgical cases decreased by 28% from 889 cases to 640 cases for the quarter ended May 31, 2009 from the quarter

ended May 31, 2008. The decrease in net patient service revenue was due to additional revenues of $1,324,000 recorded in the third quarter ended May 31, 2008 related to amounts collected on MDR accounts receivable, as discussed under “Revenue Recognition Policy” and also due to an overall decrease in number of cases by 28% in 2009 compared to 2008. There was a significant decrease of 67% in inpatient cases, which typically have higher average reimbursement per case compared to outpatient cases. These decreases in net patient service revenue were partially offset by a decrease in the contractual allowance as a percentage of gross billed charges. The contractual allowance decreased from 61% of gross billed charges for the quarter ended May 31, 2008 to 54% of gross billed charges for the quarter ended May 31, 2009.

Following are the percentage changes in net patient service revenues and number of cases at the hospital facilities:


	Percentage increase/(decrease) from 2008 to 2009
Facility	Net patient service revenue		Cases
Pasadena	3	%	15	%
Garland	(31	)	(55	)
Overall	(17	)	(28	)

Total costs and expenses decreased by $1,903,791, or 16%, from $12,107,144 in 2008 to $10,203,353 in 2009. The following discusses the various changes in costs and expenses:

•

Compensation and benefits increased by $200,818, or 5%, primarily due to normal increases in salaries and benefits, and also due to a marginal increase in the number of full time equivalent employees.

•

Medical services and supplies expenses decreased by $2,073,401, or 47%, while the number of surgery cases decreased 28%, primarily due to a 67% decrease in inpatient cases, which typically require more medical services and supplies.

•

Other operating expenses increased by $195,298, or 6%. Other operating expenses as a percentage of gross billed charges was 13.3% and 9.5% for the quarters ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase was primarily due to marketing expenses. Other operating expenses, excluding marketing expenses, as a percentage of gross billed charges was consistent at 7.8% and 7.4% for the quarters ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

China Division

Effective March 1, 2009, Dynacq-Huai Bei is managing the Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China. Dynacq-Huai Bei is ultimately responsible for funding any operating deficits, and is to be rewarded with any operating profits, of that hospital during the management period. For the quarter ended May 31, 2009, Second People’s Hospital had net patient service revenues of $1,177,278.

Total costs and expenses for the China Division increased by $1,449,036, from $355,893 in 2008 to $1,804,929 in 2009. In 2008, development costs were incurred for the construction of a hospital in Shanghai. However, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company sold its interest in the property owned by that joint venture. In 2009, total costs and expenses includes the operations associated with Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China and marketing expenses of approximately $300,000 incurred by Sino Bond.

Total other income, net increased by $582,912, from $66,581 in 2008 to $649,493 in 2009, primarily due to interest income associated with the bonds purchased in the first and third quarters of the current fiscal year.

Nine Months Ended May 31, 2009 Compared to the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2008

U.S. Division

Net patient service revenue decreased by $13,604,464, or 28%, from $49,098,080 to $35,493,616, and total surgical cases decreased by 8% from 2,405 cases to 2,209 cases for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 from the nine months ended May 31, 2008. The decrease in net patient service revenue was due to additional revenues of

$5,841,000 recorded in the nine months ended May 31, 2008 related to amounts collected on MDR accounts receivable, as discussed under “Revenue Recognition Policy” and also due to an overall decrease in number of cases by 8% in 2009 compared to 2008. There was a significant decrease of 38% in inpatient cases, which typically have higher average reimbursement per case compared to outpatient cases. Gross billed charges and net patient service revenues were also negatively impacted by Hurricane Ike in the month of September 2008 for our Pasadena facility, which was not in full operations for about three weeks. The decreases in net patient service revenue were also attributable to an increase in the contractual allowance as a percentage of gross billed charges from 51% for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 to 66% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.

Following are the percentage changes in net patient service revenues and number of cases at the hospital facilities:


	Percentage increase/(decrease) from 2008 to 2009
Facility	Net patient service revenue		Cases
Pasadena	(32	)%	14	%
Garland	(25	)	(22	)
Overall	(28	)	(8	)

Total costs and expenses decreased by $1,391,201, or 4%, from $34,876,480 in 2008 to $33,485,279 in 2009. The following discusses the various changes in costs and expenses:

•

Compensation and benefits decreased marginally by $242,767, or 2%, primarily due to cash incentive bonuses of approximately $1,053,000 paid to employees during the nine months ended May 31, 2008, with no such corresponding expense during the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease was partially offset by normal increases in salaries and benefits and a marginal increase in the number of full time equivalent employees.

•

Medical services and supplies expenses decreased by $2,194,562, or 20%, while the number of surgery cases decreased 8%, primarily due to a 38% decrease in inpatient cases, which typically require more medical services and supplies.

•

Other operating expenses increased by $1,557,022, or 14%. Other operating expenses as a percentage of gross billed charges was 11.9% and 10.8% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase was primarily due to marketing expenses. Other operating expenses, excluding marketing expenses, as a percentage of gross billed charges was consistent at 7.6% and 8.9% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of our liquidity, contractual obligations and commitments. The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in that Form 10-K.

Cash flow from operating activities

Total cash flow provided by operating activities was $6,247,908 during the period ended May 31, 2009, primarily due to net income of $652,272, decreases in accounts receivable of $10,345,773 and depreciation and amortization of $1,126,514, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,994,907 and net payment of income taxes of $4,408,393.

Cash flow from investing activities

Total cash flow used in investing activities was $12,037,886 primarily due to investment in available-for-sale securities of $9,134,660, and payments of $2,631,601 for management rights in China.

Cash flow from financing activities

Total cash flow used in financing activities was $474,444 primarily related to payments on the note payable for class action lawsuit settlement.

The Company had working capital of $49,624,061 as of May 31, 2009, and maintained a liquid position by a current ratio of approximately 6.6 to 1.

We believe we will be able to meet our ongoing liquidity and cash needs for fiscal year 2009 through the combination of available cash and cash flow from operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”). These new standards represent the outcome of the FASB’s joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board and are intended to improve, simplify and converge internationally the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” however, it retains the fundamental requirements of the former Statement that the acquisition method of accounting (previously referred to as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. The new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.

SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest and to disclose those amounts on the face of the income statement. It also aligns the reporting of noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries with the requirements in International Accounting Standard 27.

Both SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective beginning in our fiscal 2010. SFAS No. 141(R) will be applied to business combinations that are consummated beginning in fiscal 2010, and SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including any that arose before fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating these Statements and have not yet determined their effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” and FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. These two Staff Positions were issued to provide additional guidance about (1) measuring the fair value of financial instruments when the markets become inactive and quoted prices may reflect distressed transactions, and (2) recording impairment charges on investments in debt instruments. Additionally, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to require disclosures of fair value of certain financial instruments in interim financial statements. All of these Staff Positions are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of these Staff Positions, other than requirements limited to the form and content of disclosures, will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 165 will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
