UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of the
Company, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting
policies and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Prior to 1997, the Company included charity care services as a component of its
provision for doubtful accounts. Effective January 1, 1997, in accordance with
health care industry practice, the Company began excluding charity care from net
revenues, and has reclassified the 1996 amounts to conform with this
presentation. The change in presentation has no effect on reported net income.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year adjusted to give effect to common stock equivalents.
In April 1996, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a
100% stock dividend which was paid in May, 1996. All classes of common stock
participated on a pro rata basis. The weighted average number of common shares
and equivalents and earnings per common and common equivalent share for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 have been adjusted to reflect the
two-for-one stock split.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement 128, Earnings
per Share, which is effective for financial statements for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Pursuant to the provisions of Statement 128, the Company's
basic earnings per share would have been $.52 and $.43 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and $1.19 and $.99 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The diluted earnings per share would have
been $.51 and $.42 for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and
$1.16 and $.96 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(3) OTHER LIABILITIES

Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's
professional and general liability and workers' compensation reserves.

(4) COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an aggregate
of $14 million related principally to the Company's self-insurance programs and
as support for various debt instruments and loan guarantees.

(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Subsequent to the end of the 1997 second quarter, the Company entered into a
partnership agreement for the ownership and operation of The George Washington
University Hospital, a 501-bed acute care facility located in Washington, D.C.
The Company holds an 80% interest in the partnership and The George Washington
University holds a 20% interest. The Company also entered into a management
agreement, which commenced in April 1997, to manage the operations of the
hospital. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Company will
provide an immediate commitment of $80 million ($40 million in cash and a $40
million letter of credit) as part of a total intended investment by the
partnership of $125 million over the next ten years for enhancement of the
hospital's operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The matters discussed in this report as well as the news releases issued from
time to time by the Company contain certain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, that the
majority of the Company's revenues are produced by a small number of its total
facilities, possible changes in levels and terms of reimbursement for the
Company's charges by government programs or other third party payors, the
ability of the Company to successfully integrate its recent and proposed
acquisitions and the ability to continue to finance its growth on favorable
terms.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues increased 22% or $62 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 25% or $135 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, over the
comparable prior year periods. Net revenues at hospital facilities owned during
both periods increased $33 million or 12% and $47 million or 9% for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, over the comparable prior year
periods. Also contributing to the increase in net revenues for the three and six
month periods was the acquisitions of a 357-bed medical complex located in
Amarillo, Texas and four behavioral health centers located in Pennsylvania, all
of which were acquired during the second quarter of 1996.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease and
rental expense (EBITDAR) increased 19% or $10 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and 23% or $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the comparable prior year periods. Overall operating margins were
18% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and 19% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

ACUTE CARE SERVICES

Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals, ambulatory treatment
centers and women's center accounted for 85% and 84% of consolidated net
revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and 85% and
86% of consolidated net revenues for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned
during both periods increased 14% and 10% for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods.
Inpatient admissions at these facilities increased 7% during the 1997 second
quarter over the comparable prior year quarter and 3% for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable prior year six month period.
Patient days at the Company's acute care facilities owned during both periods
increased 8% and 3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. Outpatient activity at the
Company's acute care hospitals continues to increase as gross outpatient
revenues at the acute care facilities owned during both periods increased 12%
for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 over the
comparable prior year periods. Gross outpatient revenues comprised 27% of the
Company's acute care gross patient revenues during the second quarter of 1997 as
compared to 26% during the 1996 second quarter and 26% for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to 25% for the prior year six month period. The
increase is primarily the result of advances in medical technologies, which
allow more services to be provided on an outpatient basis, and increased
pressure from Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations (HMOs),
preferred provider organizations (PPOs) and insurers to reduce hospital stays
and provide services, where possible, on a less expensive outpatient basis. To
accommodate the increased utilization of outpatient services, the Company has
expanded or redesigned several of its outpatient facilities and services.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES

Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services facilities accounted
for 15% of the Company's consolidated net revenues for the three month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and 15% and 13% of consolidated net revenues for
the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net revenues
at the Company's behavioral health centers owned during both periods remained
relatively unchanged during the 1997 second quarter as compared to the 1996
second quarter and decreased 1% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the comparable 1996 period. Admissions and patient days at the
facilities owned during both periods increased 3% during the 1997 second quarter
over the 1996 second quarter as the average length of stay remained unchanged at
12.7 days in both three month periods. Admissions at these facilities increased
5% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable
prior year period while patient days increased 2% during this period over the
comparable prior year period. The average length of stay decreased 4% to 11.9
days during the 1997 six month period as compared to 12.4 days in the comparable
prior year period. The relatively flat net revenues at the facilities owned
during both periods resulted primarily from continued pressure from payors to
reduce the average length of stay at these facilities as a large portion of the
Company's behavioral health services' revenues are reimbursed on a per diem
basis. The reduction in the average length of stay is a result of changing
practices in the delivery of behavioral health services and continued cost
containment pressures from payors which includes a greater emphasis on the
utilization of outpatient services. Management of the Company has responded to
these trends by developing and marketing new outpatient treatment programs. The
shift to outpatient care is reflected in higher revenues from outpatient
services, as gross outpatient revenues at the Company's behavioral health
services facilities owned during both periods increased 6% and 9% for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, over the comparable
prior year periods. Gross outpatient revenues comprised 22% of the Company's
behavioral health services' net revenues for the three months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to 18% during the 1996 comparable three month period and 20%
for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 18% in the
comparable prior year period.

OTHER OPERATING RESULTS

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 19% or $3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 23% or $7 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997, over the comparable prior year periods due primarily to the 1996
acquisitions mentioned above.

Interest expense decreased $600,000 or 10% for the three month period ended June
30, 1997 and $300,000 or 3% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 over
the comparable prior year periods due primarily to lower average outstanding
borrowings and a slight decrease in rates. In June 1996, the Company issued four
million shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price of $26 per share. The
total net proceeds of $99.1 million generated from this stock issuance were used
to partially finance the 1996 purchase transitions mentioned above.

The effective tax rate was 36% for each of the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996.

GENERAL TRENDS

An increased proportion of the Company's revenue is derived from fixed payment
services, including Medicare and Medicaid which accounted for 54% and 52% of the
Company's net patient revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 and 52% and 50% for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The Company expects the Medicare and Medicaid revenues to continue
to increase as a larger portion of the general population qualifies for coverage
as a result of the aging of the population and expansion of state Medicaid
programs. The Medicare


Page Nine of Twelve Pages
10
program reimburses the Company's hospitals primarily based on established rates
by a diagnosis related group for acute care hospitals and by cost based formula
for behavioral health facilities.

In addition to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, other payors continue to
actively negotiate the amounts they will pay for services performed. In general,
the Company expects the percentage of its business from managed care programs,
including HMOs and PPOs to grow. The consequent growth in managed care networks
and the resulting impact of these networks on the operating results of the
Company's facilities vary among the markets in which the Company operates.

In addition to the trends described above that continue to have an impact on
operating results, there are a number of other more general factors affecting
the Company's business. In August 1997, a five year budget plan was approved
which calls for a $115 billion reduction in the rate of increase in Medicare
spending over the next five years. Included in this proposal is a $39 billion
reduction in the future rate of increases to payments made to hospitals. The
Company is unable to quantify the effect of this plan, and no assurance can be
given that the implementation of this plan will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. In Texas, a law has been passed which mandates
that the state senate apply for a waiver from current Medicaid regulations to
allow the state to require that certain Medicaid participants be serviced
through managed care providers. The Company is unable to predict whether Texas
will be granted such a waiver or the effect on the Company's business of such
waiver. Upon meeting certain conditions, and serving a disproportionately high
share of Texas' and South Carolina's low income patients, three of the Company's
facilities located in Texas and one in South Carolina became eligible and
received additional reimbursement from each state's disproportionate share
hospital fund. Included in the Company's financials was an aggregate of $8.3
million and $3.6 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 and $16.4 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively, received pursuant to the terms of these programs. These
programs, which terminate in the third quarter of 1997, have been renewed
although the Company is uncertain as to the amount of reimbursement to be
received pursuant to the terms of these programs.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $80 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and $79 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
$1 million net increase during the 1997 six month period as compared to the 1996
comparable period was due primarily to a $20 million increase in the net income
plus the addback of the non-cash charges (depreciation, amortization and
provision for self-insurance reserves) offset by a $11 million increase in
income tax payments and a $7 million increase in payments made in settlement of
self-insurance reserves.

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company spent $67 million to finance
capital expenditures including a total of $38 million on the construction of a
new medical complex (including a 149-bed acute care facility) in Summerlin,
Nevada and a new 130-bed replacement facility in Edinburg, Texas. These
facilities are scheduled to open during the third and fourth quarters of 1997.
The Company also reduced outstanding debt by $14 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company entered into a new revolving credit
agreement. The new agreement, which matures in July 2002, provides for up to
$300 million of borrowing capacity. During the term of this agreement, the
Company has the option to petition the banks to increase the borrowing capacity
to $400 million. The agreement provides for interest at the Company's option at
the prime rate, certificate of deposit plus 3/8% to 5/8%, Euro-dollar plus 1/4%
to 1/2% or money market. A facility fee ranging from 1/8% to 3/8% is required on
the total commitment. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had $275 million of
unused borrowing capacity available under the terms of its new revolving credit
and existing commercial paper facilities.
