    The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus or incorporated by reference
herein. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Prospectus gives
effect to a 2-for-1 stock split effected on May 17, 1996.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
    The principal business of Universal Health Services, Inc. (together with its
subsidiaries, "UHS" or the "Company") is owning and operating acute care
hospitals, behavioral health centers, ambulatory surgery centers and radiation
oncology centers. The Company's strategy to enhance its profitability and to
continue to provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare services includes
the following key elements: (i) establish and maintain market leadership
positions in small and medium-sized markets with favorable demographics; (ii)
develop or participate in the leading integrated healthcare delivery system in
each of its hospital's markets; (iii) develop and maintain strong relationships
with physicians; (iv) maintain a low cost structure while providing high quality
care; and (v) attract managed care contracts. Consistent with its strategy, the
Company recently acquired three acute care hospitals which are market leaders.
In July 1995, the Company acquired Aiken Regional Medical Centers ("Aiken"), a
225-bed medical complex, located in Aiken, South Carolina. In August 1995, the
Company acquired Manatee Memorial Hospital ("Manatee"), a 512-bed acute care
hospital, located in Bradenton, Florida. In May 1996, the Company acquired
Northwest Texas Healthcare System ("Northwest Texas Health"), a 360-bed medical
complex, located in Amarillo, Texas. See "Pro Forma Financial Information" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
    Currently, the Company operates or manages 35 hospitals, consisting of 16
acute care hospitals and 19 behavioral health centers, in Arkansas, California,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri,
Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Washington. The
Company, as part of its Ambulatory Treatment Centers Division, owns outright, or
in partnership with physicians, and operates or manages 26 surgery and radiation
oncology centers located in 15 states.
 
    Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery,
internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, oncology,
diagnostic care, coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. The
Company provides capital resources as well as a variety of management services
to its facilities, including central purchasing, data processing, finance and
control systems, facilities planning, physician recruitment services,
administrative personnel management, marketing and public relations.
 
                                 RECENT EVENTS
 
    The Company plans to acquire or develop a number of additional hospitals. In
April 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire four behavioral
health centers, all located in Pennsylvania (the "First Hospital Facilities"),
as well as management contracts for seven other behavioral health centers, four
of which are located in Pennsylvania, and 33 acres of land adjacent to the
Company's Wellington Regional Medical Center (collectively, the "First Hospital
Properties") for $36.5 million and up to $5 million which is contingent on
future operating performance. See "Pro Forma Financial Information" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." Each of the First Hospital
Facilities is the leading provider of behavioral health services in its market.
The combination of the First Hospital Facilities and their related outpatient
activities plus the four managed units in Pennsylvania create the
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
largest comprehensive behavioral health network in Pennsylvania. The Company
believes its historical success in operating behavioral health facilities, when
coupled with the acquired contract management business as part of the First
Hospital Properties, will make it an effective competitor for new contracts to
manage behavioral health units of hospitals.
 
    The Company is developing, with the participation of Howard Hughes
Corporation, a medical complex including a 148-bed acute care hospital, an
ambulatory surgery center, a medical office building and a diagnostic center in
the community of Summerlin, Nevada, in western Las Vegas. When completed, this
facility will enhance the Company's market presence in Las Vegas, which is
located in the fastest growing MSA in the nation. (Source: Claritas Business
Information Systems ("Claritas"), a market research firm, Forecast 1995-2000).
 
    In January 1996, the Company broke ground on a 124-bed acute care hospital
in Edinburg, Texas. Edinburg, located in close proximity to McAllen, Texas, will
enhance the Company's market leadership in McAllen, which is located in the
fourth fastest growing MSA in the nation. (Source: Claritas).

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    This Prospectus contains, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below, as
well as those discussed elsewhere in the Prospectus.
 
CONCENTRATION OF EARNINGS
 
    McAllen Medical Center contributed 20% and 21% of the Company's net revenues
and 36% and 35% of the Company's earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization, lease and rental expense and non-recurring
transactions ("EBITDAR"), for the two years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, excluding the effect of the special Medicaid reimbursements
received at two of the Company's Texas acute care hospitals of $12.6 million and
$12.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively (the
"Indigent Care Reimbursements"). On a pro forma basis, assuming that the
acquisitions of Northwest Texas Health (acquired in May 1996), the First
Hospital Facilities (acquisition pending), Aiken (acquired in July 1995) and
Manatee (acquired in August 1995), and the dispositions of Dallas Family
Hospital, Westlake Medical Center (both disposed of in July 1995) and Universal
Medical Center (disposed of in October 1995) occurred on January 1, 1995 (the
"Adjustments"), and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, McAllen Medical
Center would have contributed 15% of the Company's net revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and 30% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period.
 
    Valley Hospital Medical Center ("Valley Hospital") contributed 18% and 19%
of the Company's net revenues and 30% and 35% of the Company's EBITDAR, for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, excluding the Indigent Care
Reimbursements. On a pro forma basis, taking into account the Adjustments and
excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, Valley Hospital would have
contributed 14% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31,
1995 and 24% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period.
 
    Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements,
Manatee would have contributed 11% of the Company's net revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and 12% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period.
 
    Any adverse change in the condition or in the results of operations of these
hospitals could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
COMPETITION
 
    The healthcare industry has been characterized in recent years by increased
competition for patients and staff physicians, excess capacity at general
hospitals, a shift from inpatient to outpatient settings, a decrease in
patients' average length of stay and increased consolidation. The principal
factors contributing to these trends are advances in medical technology,
cost-containment efforts by managed care payors, employers and traditional
health insurers, changes in regulations and reimbursement policies, increases in
the number and type of competing healthcare providers and changes in physician
practice patterns. With a few exceptions, physicians are not employees of the
Company's hospitals and members of the medical staffs of the Company's hospitals
also serve on the medical staffs of hospitals not owned by the Company and may
terminate their affiliation with the Company's hospitals at any time. The
Company's future success will depend, in part, on the ability of the Company's
hospitals to continue to attract and maintain staff physicians and to organize
and structure integrated healthcare delivery systems with other healthcare
providers and physician practice groups. There can be no assurance that the
Company's hospitals will continue to be able, on terms favorable to the Company,
to attract physicians to their staffs, or to organize and structure integrated
healthcare delivery systems, for
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
which other healthcare companies with greater financial resources or a wider
range of services may be competing.
 
LIMITS ON REIMBURSEMENT
 
    The Company derives a substantial portion of its net revenues from
third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in
government reimbursement programs have resulted in limitations on the growth
rates of the reimbursement programs and, in some cases, in reduced levels of
reimbursement for healthcare services, and additional changes are anticipated.
Such changes are likely to result in further limitations on reimbursement
levels. In addition, private payors, including managed care payors, increasingly
are demanding discounted fee structures or the assumption by healthcare
providers of all or a portion of the financial risk through prepaid capitation
arrangements. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and occupancy rates
continue to be negatively affected by payor-required pre-admission authorization
and utilization review and by payor pressure to maximize outpatient and
alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients. In
addition, efforts to impose reduced allowances, greater discounts and more
stringent cost controls by government and other payors are expected to continue.
The Company is unable to predict the effect that these changes will have on its
operations. Furthermore, limits on the scope of services reimbursed or on
reimbursement rates and fees could have a material adverse effect on the
financial results of the Company's operations. See "--Health Reform Legislation"
and "Business--Sources of Revenue."
 
HEALTH REFORM LEGISLATION
 
    In recent years, an increasing number of legislative initiatives have been
introduced or proposed in Congress and in state legislatures that would effect
major changes in the healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level.
Among the proposals that have been introduced are price controls on hospitals,
insurance market reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance
to small businesses, requirements that all businesses offer health insurance
coverage to their employees and the creation of a government health insurance
plan or plans that would cover all citizens and increase payments by
beneficiaries. The Company cannot predict whether any of the above proposals or
any other proposals will be adopted, and if adopted, no assurance can be given
that the implementation of such reforms will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business. In Texas, a law has been passed which mandates that
the State apply for a waiver from current Medicaid regulations to allow it 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 law. Upon meeting certain
conditions, and serving a disproportionately high share of Texas' low income
patients, McAllen Medical Center, Edinburg Hospital and Northwest Texas Health
received an aggregate of $25.8 million under the Texas Medical Assistance
Program for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Texas Medical Assistance
Program instituted lower reimbursement rates commencing September 1, 1995, and
such Program is scheduled to terminate in August 1996. The Company cannot
predict whether this Program will continue beyond the scheduled termination
date.
 
LIABILITY INSURANCE
 
   
    Prior to January 1, 1996, most of the Company's subsidiaries were
self-insured for general liability risks for claims limited to $5 million per
occurrence and for professional liability risks for claims limited to $25
million per occurrence. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company's self-insured
subsidiaries purchased general and professional liability insurance coverage for
a three year term with a commercial insurer. These policies include coverage for
claims in excess of $5 million and limited to $25 million per occurrence and
have an unlimited aggregate. Coverage in excess of these limits up to $100
million is maintained with major insurance carriers.

CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER
 
   
    Alan B. Miller, the Company's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive Officer, controls approximately 88% and, upon consummation of this
Offering, will control approximately 84% of the general voting power of UHS,
including shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock owned by two
directors of the Company which Mr. Miller, pursuant to the Stockholders'
Agreement among Mr. Miller and such directors, has the right to vote under
certain circumstances. Mr. Miller also controls an aggregate of 99% of Class A
Common Stock and 99% of Class C Common Stock and upon consummation of the
Offering will control 99% of Class A Common Stock and 99% of Class C Common
Stock. As such, Mr. Miller can elect 80% of the Board of Directors of UHS and
accomplish a merger, sale, transfer of assets or other significant transaction
without the approval of UHS' other stockholders.
    
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
    The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of Shares being offered by it
in this Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and the estimated
expenses of this Offering, are estimated to be $92.8 million, assuming a public
offering price of $24.375 per share ($108.2 million if the Underwriter's
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Such proceeds will be used by the
Company for the repayment of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility, which totaled approximately $169 million as of May 30, 1996, which
were incurred to fund the purchases of Northwest Texas Health and the advance to
the seller of the First Hospital Properties. Borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility bear interest at either (i) the prime rate or the sum
of the certificate of deposit rate and between 0.625% to 1.125%; or (ii) in the
case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of the Eurodollar rate and between 0.500% to
1.000%. The revolving credit facility matures in March 2000. After application
of the proceeds from this Offering, $148.8 million will be available to the
Company under the revolving credit facility. The Company expects to borrow under
the revolving credit facility as needed in connection with acquisitions,
although the Company has no understandings or agreements with respect to any
such acquisitions, and other corporate purposes. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., is the lead lender
under the Company's revolving credit facility. Approximately 18% of the net
proceeds of this Offering will be used to repay Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of
New York. See "Underwriting."

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase (i) substantially all
of the assets and operations of four behavioral health centers located in
Pennsylvania; (ii) management contracts for seven other behavioral health
centers; and (iii) 33 acres of land adjacent to the Company's Wellington
Regional Medical Center, for $36.5 million and up to an additional $5 million
which is contingent upon the future operating performance of the acquired
assets. In May 1996, the Company advanced $36.5 million to the seller pursuant
to a term note, which is secured by the stock of the subsidiaries to be acquired
by the Company. The term note matures upon the earlier of the granting of
regulatory approval and the closing of the purchase transaction, or October 31,
1996. Also in connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a $7
million loan agreement which is secured by the stock of the subsidiaries to be
acquired by the Company. The $7 million note, the term of which may be extended
upon closing of the above mentioned purchase transaction, is scheduled to mature
upon the earlier of the granting of regulatory approval and the closing of the
purchase transaction described above, or October 31, 1996. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
   
    In May 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
operations of Northwest Texas Healthcare Systems, a 360-bed medical complex
located in Amarillo, Texas for $126 million in cash. The assets acquired include
the real and personal property, working capital and tangible assets. The Company
also will be required to pay additional amounts to the seller equal to 15% of
any amount of the hospital's earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes in
excess of $24 million in each year of the seven year period commencing April 1,
1996 and ending March 31, 2003. In addition, under terms of the agreement, the
seller will pay the Company $8 million per year for the first four years and $6
million per year (subject to certain adjustments for inflation) for up to an
additional 36 years to help support the cost of medical services to indigent
patients.
    
 
    In August 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Manatee Memorial Hospital, a 512-bed acute care hospital located in Bradenton,
Florida for $139 million in cash and assumption of net liabilities of
approximately $4 million. The assets acquired include the real and personal
property, working capital and intangible assets.
 
    In July, 1995, the Company acquired the operations and fixed assets of Aiken
Regional Medical Centers, including Aiken Regional Medical Center, The Carolina
Cancer Center and the Aurora Pavilion from a subsidiary of Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia"). The acquired assets included the real
property and moveable equipment together with intangible assets and certain
working capital accounts, excluding accounts receivable.
 
    In exchange for Aiken, the Company transferred to Columbia the assets and
operations of Westlake Medical Center and Dallas Family Hospital and
approximately $44 million in cash. In connection with the Aiken transaction, the
Company acquired the property of Westlake Medical Center which it leased from
Universal Health Realty Income Trust ("UHT"), in exchange for other property
consisting of additional real estate assets owned by the Company but related to
three acute care facilities owned by UHT and operated by the Company, which were
transferred to and leased back from UHT. These additional real estate assets
represent major additions and expansions made to the facilities since the
purchase of the properties from the Company in 1986. The Westlake property was
then transferred to Columbia. In addition to the Westlake property, the real and
personal property of Dallas Family Hospital, and certain working capital
accounts of both facilities, excluding accounts receivable, were acquired by
Columbia.
 
    In October 1995, the Company sold the real and personal property and
substantially all of the operating assets of Universal Medical Center, a 202-bed
acute care hospital, located in Plantation, Florida for approximately $19.5
million in cash.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS OF 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS OF 1995 (CONSOLIDATED)
 
    Net revenues increased 23% ($51 million) for the three months ended March
31, 1996, over the comparable prior year period due primarily to the
acquisitions of a 225-bed acute care facility and a 512-bed acute care facility
acquired during the third quarter of 1995, net of revenue effects of three acute
care facilities divested during the third and fourth quarters of 1995, and
revenue growth at facilities owned during both periods. Net revenues at hospital
facilities owned during both periods increased 4% ($8 million) for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 over the comparable prior year period, excluding the
additional revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements received
by two of the Company's acute care facilities which participate in the Texas
Medical Assistance Program. Upon meeting certain conditions of participation and
serving a disproportionately high share of the state's low income patients,
these hospitals became eligible and received additional reimbursements totaling
$1.8 million during the first quarter of 1996 and $3.8 million during the first
quarter of 1995. These programs are scheduled to terminate in August 1996 and
the Company cannot predict whether these programs will continue beyond the
scheduled termination date.
 
    Excluding the net revenue effects of the special Medicaid reimbursement
programs mentioned above, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization and lease and rental expense ("EBITDAR") increased 37% ($14
million) to $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$37 million in the comparable prior year period. Overall operating margins,
excluding the special Medicaid reimbursements, were 19.0% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 17.2% in the comparable prior year period.
 
ACUTE CARE SERVICES
 
    Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals and ambulatory
treatment centers accounted for 88% and 86% of the consolidated net revenues for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net
revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned during both periods
increased 6% after excluding the revenues received from the special Medicaid
reimbursements described above. Despite the continued shift in the delivery of
healthcare services to outpatient care, the Company's acute care hospitals owned
during both periods experienced a 6% increase in inpatient admissions and a 4%
increase in patient days in 1996 as compared to 1995. Outpatient activity at the
Company's acute care hospitals continues to increase as a 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 12% and 14% of the consolidated net revenues for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net revenues at the
Company's psychiatric hospitals owned during both periods decreased 6% during
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable prior year
period. Although the admissions, patient days and length of stay at these
facilities increased approximately 1% during the 1996 quarter as compared to the
1995 quarter, the decrease in net revenues resulted primarily from the fact that
residential treatment days, which reimburse the Company at lower rates
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
per day as compared to other behavioral health care services, constituted a
greater percentage of patient days than in the prior year period. The Company's
behavioral health care facilities have continued to be affected by changes in
the delivery of psychiatric 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.
 
OTHER OPERATING RESULTS
 
    Depreciation and amortization expense increased 31% to $3.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable prior year
period due primarily to the Company's acquisition of two acute care hospitals in
July and August of 1995, partially offset by the effect of three acute care
facilities divested in July and October of 1995.
 
    Interest expense increased $3.0 million for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 over the 1995 quarter due primarily to increased borrowings used
to finance the purchase of two acute care hospitals during the third quarter of
1995.
 
    The effective tax rate was 36% and 39% for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate was
due primarily to the financing of employee benefit programs.
 
GENERAL TRENDS
 
    An increased proportion of the Company's revenue is derived from fixed
payment services, including Medicare and Medicaid which accounted for 48% and
43% of the Company's net patient revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively, excluding the additional revenues from special
Medicaid reimbursement programs. The Medicare program reimburses the Company's
hospitals primarily based on established rates by a diagnosis related group for
acute care hospitals and by cost-based formulae for psychiatric hospitals.
 
    In addition, 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 to grow, including HMOs, PPOs and
Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in such programs. 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. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate are
considering legislation providing for substantial Medicare savings over an
extended period, including reductions in payments to hospitals, which would
limit the rate of growth of the program. The Company cannot predict what new
legislation may ultimately be enacted, and if enacted, no assurance can be given
that the implementation of such reforms 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.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994 AND 1993 (CONSOLIDATED)
 
    Net revenues increased 19% ($149 million) to $931 million in 1995 over 1994
and 3% ($21 million) to $782 million in 1994 as compared to 1993. The increase
during 1995 was primarily attributable to
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
revenues generated at two acute care facilities acquired by the Company during
1995 net of the revenue effects of the three acute care facilities divested
during the year ($58 million), revenue growth at acute care facilities owned
during both years ($44 million) and a full year of revenue generated at an acute
care facility acquired by the Company in November 1994 ($29 million). The
increase in net revenues in 1994 as compared to 1993 resulted primarily from
revenue growth at facilities owned during both years and the acquisition and
development of ambulatory treatment centers.
 
    Net revenues at hospital facilities owned during all three periods increased
by 7% ($47 million) in 1995 over 1994 and 7% ($42 million) in 1994 over 1993,
excluding the additional revenues received by two of the Company's acute care
facilities which participate in the Texas Medical Assistance Program. Upon
meeting certain conditions of participation and serving a disproportionately
high share of the state's low income patients, these two hospitals became
eligible and received additional reimbursements totalling $12.6 million in 1995,
$12.7 million in 1994 and $13.5 million in 1993. These programs are scheduled to
terminate in August 1996 and the Company cannot predict whether these programs
will continue beyond the scheduled termination date. The Company acquired a
225-bed acute care hospital in July 1995 and a 512-bed acute care hospital in
August 1995 which contributed combined net revenues of $89 million during 1995.
The Company divested three acute care hospitals during 1995 and two acute care
hospitals during 1993 which contributed combined net revenues of $50 million,
$81 million and $115 million during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net
revenues at the Company's ambulatory treatment centers increased to $23 million
in 1995 from $17 million in 1994 and $11 million in 1993.
 
    Excluding the revenue effects of the special Medicaid reimbursement
programs, EBITDAR increased to $151 million in 1995 from $127 million in 1994
and $113 million in 1993. The Company's consolidated operating margins were
16.4% in 1995, 16.5% in 1994 and 15.1% in 1993. While operating margins at the
Company's acute care and behavioral health services facilities owned during both
1995 and 1994 increased, the Company's consolidated margin was lower in 1995 as
compared to 1994 due to losses sustained at the three acute care facilities
divested during 1995. The improvement in the Company's consolidated operating
margins in 1994 compared to 1993 was due primarily to the divestiture of two low
margin acute care facilities in 1993 and lower insurance expense in 1994 as
compared to 1993.
 
ACUTE CARE SERVICES
 
    Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals and ambulatory
treatment centers accounted for 86%, 85% and 84% of consolidated net revenues in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
    Net revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned during each of the
last three years increased 9% in 1995 over 1994 and 10% in 1994 over 1993, after
excluding the revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements
described above. Despite the continued shift in the delivery of healthcare
services to outpatient care, the Company's acute care hospitals experienced a 9%
increase in inpatient admissions and a 5% increase in patient days in 1995 as
compared to 1994 due primarily to increased impatient volume at two of the
Company's larger facilities. Admissions and patient days at acute care
facilities owned during each of the last three years increased 10% and 8%,
respectively, in 1994 as compared to 1993 due primarily to additional capacity
and expansion of service lines at two of the Company's larger facilities.
Outpatient activity at the Company's acute care hospitals continues to increase
as gross outpatient revenues at these hospitals increased 17% in 1995 over 1994
and 15% in 1994 over 1993 and comprised 22% of the Company's gross patient
revenues in each of the last three years. 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, HMOs, 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.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
   
    To take advantage of the trend toward increased outpatient services, the
Company has continued to invest in the acquisition and development of outpatient
surgery and radiation therapy centers. As of December 31, 1995, the Company
operated or managed twenty-five outpatient treatment centers, including four
added during 1995, which have contributed to the increase in the Company's
outpatient revenues. The Company expects the growth in outpatient services to
continue, although the rate of growth may be moderated in the future.
    
 
    Excluding the revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements
described above, operating margins (EBITDAR) at the Company's acute care
hospitals owned during all three years were 22.6%, 22.1% and 21.3% in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The improvement in 1995 over 1994 was primarily the
result of increased operating margins at certain of the Company's acute care
facilities. The margin improvement in 1994 over 1993 resulted primarily from
lower insurance expense. Although the Company's acute care operating margins
have increased during the last three years, pressure on operating margins is
expected to continue due to the industry-wide trend away from charge-based
payors which limits the Company's ability to increase its prices.
 
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
 
    Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services hospitals
accounted for 13%, 14% and 15% of consolidated net revenues in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's behavioral health hospitals
owned during each of the last three years increased 1% in 1995 over 1994 and
decreased 7% in 1994 as compared to 1993. The increase in 1995 over 1994
resulted primarily from a 4% increase in admissions and a 2% increase in patient
days while the average length of stay decreased 2% to 13.5 days in 1995 from
13.8 days in 1994. During 1994 admissions increased 12% over 1993 while patient
days decreased 3% due to a 13% decrease in the average length of stay to 13.8
days in 1994 from 15.8 days in 1993. The reduction in the average length of stay
during the last three years is a result of changing practices in the delivery of
psychiatric 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 hospitals increased 10% in
1995 over 1994 and 17% in 1994 over 1993 and now comprises 16% of the Company's
behavioral health services gross patient revenues as compared to 15% in 1994 and
13% in 1993.
 
    Operating margins (EBITDAR) at the facilities owned during all three years
were 19.7% in 1995, 15.8% in 1994 and 21.5% in 1993. The increase in the profit
margin in 1995 as compared to 1994 was caused by an increase in admissions,
stabilization in length of stay and cost reductions implemented in response to
the managed care environment. The decrease in the profit margin in 1994 as
compared to 1993 was primarily caused by the decrease in net revenues at certain
facilities which declined due to an increase in Medicaid denials, a decrease in
days of care delivered and a decline in the net revenue per day.
 
OTHER OPERATING RESULTS
 
    During 1995, the Company recorded $11.6 million of net nonrecurring charges
which consists of: (i) a $14.2 million pre-tax charge due to impairment of
long-lived assets; (ii) a $2.7 million loss on disposal of two acute care
facilities which were exchanged along with $44 million of cash for a 225-bed
acute care hospital; and (iii) a $5.3 million pre-tax gain realized on the sale
of a 202-bed acute care hospital which was divested during the fourth quarter of
1995 for cash proceeds of $19.5 million.
 
    As discussed elsewhere, changes in third party payment methods, advances in
medical technologies, legislative and regulatory initiatives at the Federal and
state levels along with increased competition from other providers have impacted
operating margins at the Company's facilities in recent years.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
These industry conditions have adversely impacted certain of the Company's
specialized facilities and certain of the Company's smaller facilities in more
competitive markets.
 
    In conjunction with the development of the Company's operating plan and 1996
budget, management assessed the current competitive position of these facilities
and estimated future cash flows expected from these facilities. As a result, the
Company recorded a $14.2 million pre-tax charge during 1995 to write-down the
carrying value of certain intangible and tangible assets at these facilities. In
measuring the impairment loss, the Company estimated fair value by discounting
expected future cash flows from each facility using the Company's internal
hurdle rate. The impairment loss primarily related to four facilities in the
Company's behavioral health services division and three facilities in its
ambulatory treatment center division.
 
    During 1995, the impact of managed care was most dramatically felt at the
Company's free standing chemical dependency and residential treatment centers.
The Company operates two chemical dependency facilities with combined 1995 net
revenues of $8.6 million. Substantially all of the non-Medicare business at
these facilities is now managed to a large degree by third-party payors. The
increased penetration of managed care into this segment has resulted in a
continued shift from inpatient care as the primary treatment model to a
detoxification/partial hospitalization program resulting in fewer admissions and
patient days. Combined with increasing emphasis by payors on price as the most
important variable among providers and the increased competition resulting from
acute care providers expanding to offer dual diagnosis and ambulatory
detoxification services, the Company has determined that both profit margins and
volumes at these facilities have been permanently impaired. In addition, CHAMPUS
patients account for a significant portion of the Company's net revenue at its
two residential treatment centers which had combined net revenues of $10.9
million in 1995. Changes in CHAMPUS regulations and managed care penetration
into this segment of the business have driven down lengths of stay dramatically.
At these facilities, whose profitability is largely dependent on very long
lengths of stay, the decline in the average length of stay has resulted in a
permanent impairment.
 
    Within the Company's ambulatory treatment center division, three centers
with combined 1995 net revenues of $3.7 million, are located in highly
competitive markets which have become heavily penetrated with managed care. As a
result, net revenues per case and case volumes at these centers have decreased
11% and 7%, respectively, in 1995 as compared to 1994 due primarily to increased
influence of payors, increased monitoring of outpatient services and willingness
of hospitals to compete with ambulatory treatment centers on price. The Company
expects these unfavorable trends to continue within these two geographical
markets resulting in a permanent impairment.
 
    During 1994, nonrecurring charges of $9.8 million were recorded consisting
of the following: (i) a $4.3 million estimated loss on the disposal of two acute
care facilities mentioned above; (ii) a $2.8 write-down of the carrying value of
a psychiatric hospital owned by the Company and leased to an unaffiliated third
party which is currently in default under the terms of the lease agreement;
(iii) a $1.4 million write-down recorded against the book value of the real
property of a behavioral health services hospital; and (iv) $1.3 million of
expenses related to the disposition of a non-strategic business. Included in the
$8.8 million of nonrecurring charges recorded in 1993 is a $4.4 million loss on
disposal of two acute care facilities divested during the fourth quarter of 1993
and $4.4 million related to the winding down or disposition of non-strategic
businesses.
 
    Depreciation and amortization expense increased $9.0 million in 1995 over
1994 due primarily to the Company's acquisition of two acute care hospitals in
July and August of 1995, net of effects of three acute care facilities divested
during the year ($5.6 million), a full year of depreciation expense of an acute
care hospital acquired in November of 1994 ($1.1 million) and the increased
depreciation expense related to capital expenditures and acquisition of
outpatient treatment centers ($2.3 million). Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $2.8 million in 1994 over 1993 due primarily to $1.9 million
of
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
such expenses related to the Company's acquisition of outpatient treatment
centers and the increased depreciation expense related to capital expenditures
made in the Company's acute care division.
 
    Interest expense increased $4.9 million or 78% during 1995 over 1994 due
primarily to borrowings used to finance the purchase of two acute care hospitals
during 1995. The Company issued $135 million of Senior Notes during 1995 which
have a coupon rate of 8.75% (9.2% effective rate including amortization of
interest rate swap termination fees and amortization of bond discount). The $131
million of net proceeds generated from the issuance of these notes were used to
finance the cash purchase price of the two acute care hospitals acquired during
1995 while the excess of the purchase price over the net proceeds ($52 million)
was financed from operating cash flows and borrowings under the Company's
commercial paper and revolving credit facilities. Interest expense decreased
$2.4 million or 27% in 1994 as compared to 1993 was due to lower average
outstanding borrowings.
 
    The effective tax rate was 33%, 39% and 32% in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate in 1995 as compared to 1994 was
due to: (i) the deductibility of previously non-deductible goodwill amortization
resulting from the sale of three acute care hospitals; and (ii) the financing of
employee benefit programs. The increase in the effective tax rate for 1994 as
compared to 1993 was due to the 1993 tax provision containing a reduction in the
state tax provision.
 
INFLATION
 
    The healthcare industry is very labor-intensive and salaries and benefits
are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supply costs which tend to
escalate as vendors pass on the rising costs through price increases. Although
the Company cannot predict its ability to continue to cover future costs
increases, management believes that through the adherence to cost containment
policies, labor management and reasonable price increases, the effects of
inflation, which has not had a material impact on the results of operations
during the last three years, on future operating margins should be manageable.
However, the Company's ability to pass on these increased costs associated with
providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients may be limited since
although these fixed payments rates are indexed for inflation annually, the
increases have historically lagged behind actual inflation.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and $91.7 million, $60.6 million and $84.6 million
for the 1995, 1994 and 1993 fiscal years, respectively. In addition, cash flow
from operating activities in the first quarter of 1995 was adversely impacted by
an increase in accounts receivable resulting from a temporary decline in cash
collections due to information systems conversions at the Company's hospitals.
Partially offsetting these changes was a $2.7 million increase in payments made
in settlement of self-insurance claims. The net cash provided by operating
activities substantially exceeded the scheduled maturities of long-term debt.
 
    During the first three months of 1996, the Company used $25.7 million of its
operating cash flow to finance capital expenditures (including $7 million spent
on the construction of a new medical complex in Summerlin, Nevada) and $6.8
million to reduce outstanding debt.
 
    Subsequent to the end of the 1996 first quarter, the Company executed a
purchase agreement to acquire four behavioral health care hospitals located in
Pennsylvania and seven contracts to manage behavioral health programs. This
purchase transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to be
completed in June 1996. The total purchase price for the acquisition of these
hospitals and management contracts is $36.5 million in cash for the operations
and the property, plant and equipment and up to an additional $5 million which
is contingent upon the future operating performance of the acquired assets. In
May 1996, the Company advanced $36.5 million to the seller pursuant to a term
note, which is secured by the stock of the subsidiaries to be acquired by the
Company, which
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
matures upon the earlier of the granting of regulatory approval and the closing
of the purchase transaction, or October 31, 1996. Also in connection with this
transaction, the Company entered into a $7 million loan agreement which is
secured by the stock of the subsidiaries to be acquired by the Company. The $7
million note, the term of which may be extended upon closing of the above
mentioned purchase transaction, is scheduled to mature upon the earlier of the
granting of regulatory approval and the closing of the purchase transaction
described above, or October 31, 1996.
 
   
    In May 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
operations of Northwest Texas Health, a medical complex located in Amarillo,
Texas for $126 million in cash. The assets acquired include the real and
personal property, working capital and tangible assets. The Company also will be
required to pay additional amounts to the seller equal to 15% of any amount of
the hospital's earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes in excess of $24
million in each year of the seven year period commencing April 1, 1996 and
ending March 31, 2003. In addition, under terms of the agreement, the seller
will pay the Company $8 million per year for the first four years and $6 million
per year (subject to certain adjustments for inflation) for up to an additional
36 years to help support the cost of medical services to indigent patients.
Northwest Texas Health consists of a 360 licensed bed full service acute care
hospital and free standing behavioral health hospital, two urgent care clinics
and other operations. The funds used to finance the above mentioned transactions
were borrowed on the Company's revolving credit facility.
    
 
    The Company expects to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions
with internally generated funds, borrowed funds or the sale of debt or equity
securities. As of March 31, 1996, after including the $168.5 million of
additional borrowings for the purchase transactions described above, the Company
had $42 million of unused borrowing capacity under its commercial paper and
revolving credit facilities.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
    The principal business of the Company is owning and operating acute care
hospitals, behavioral health centers, ambulatory surgery centers and radiation
oncology centers. Currently, the Company operates or manages 35 hospitals,
consisting of 16 acute care hospitals and 19 behavioral health centers, in
Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and
Washington. The Company, as part of its Ambulatory Treatment Centers Division,
owns outright, or in partnership with physicians, and operates or manages 26
surgery and radiation oncology centers located in 15 states.
 
    Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery,
internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, oncology,
diagnostic care, coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. The
Company provides capital resources as well as a variety of management services
to its facilities, including central purchasing, data processing, finance and
control systems, facilities planning, physician recruitment services,
administrative personnel management, marketing and public relations.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
    Healthcare is one of the largest industries in the United States,
representing total expenditures of approximately $938.3 billion, or 13.9% of
gross domestic product, in 1994 according to the Federal Healthcare Financing
Administration ("HCFA"). Increases in healthcare expenditures, including
hospital expenditures, historically have outpaced inflation due to, among other
factors, the aging of the population and the increased availability and use of
high-technology treatments and tests. According to HCFA, healthcare expenditures
increased by approximately 6.1% in 1994 from approximately $884.0 billion in
1993.
 
    In response to escalating healthcare costs, government and private
purchasers of healthcare services have undertaken substantial revisions in their
payment methodologies and have increased significantly the degree to which they
monitor the utilization of services. Additionally, payors increasingly are
utilizing HMOs and PPOs as cost-effective alternatives to traditional
fee-for-service health insurance plans. Under these systems, hospitals bear the
financial risk of providing healthcare services since they receive either a
specific, fixed reimbursement for each treatment or specific fixed periodic
payments based on the number of members of the HMO or PPO served or eligible for
service by that hospital, regardless of the actual costs of providing the care.
These payment systems have resulted in increased contractual allowances and
discounts to hospitals' standard charges for services and a shift from inpatient
to outpatient care.
 
    These changes in payment methodologies have created many changes in the
provision of healthcare. A significant shift from inpatient to outpatient care
has resulted in significant unused hospital capacity and increases in the
utilization of outpatient services and greater outpatient revenues. As a result,
in part, of the changes in the industry, there has been significant
consolidation in the hospital industry over the past few years. In response to
payor trends, integrated healthcare networks have been established to provide a
continuum of patient care in a cost-effective framework.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
    The Company's strategy to enhance its profitability and to continue to
provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare services includes the following
key elements:
 
       . establish and maintain market leadership positions in small and
         medium-sized markets with favorable demographics;
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
       . develop or participate in the leading integrated healthcare delivery
         system in each of its hospital's markets;
 
       . develop and maintain strong relationships with physicians;
 
       . maintain a low cost structure while providing high quality care; and
 
       . attract managed care contracts.
 
  Establish and Maintain Leadership Positions in Small and Medium-Sized Markets
with Favorable Demographics
 
    The Company believes that small and medium-sized markets provide the Company
with strong opportunities for profitability since such markets typically are
less competitive than major metropolitan markets and have lower cost structures.
The Company strives to enhance its leadership position in its existing markets
by improving the hospital's physical plant, improving and increasing the
services offered by the hospital and making complementary acquisitions or
constructing additional facilities. In determining whether to enter new markets,
the Company considers, among other factors, the competitive situation and
demographic profile.
 
    Examples of the Company's development and expansion of operations in small
and medium-sized markets are the Company's recent acquisition and development
activities. In Las Vegas, which is located in the fastest growing MSA in the
nation, the Company owns the 398-bed Valley Hospital. At Valley Hospital, the
Company recently developed an outpatient surgery center, conducted a major
renovation of its emergency room and is establishing a neonatal intensive care
unit. In addition, to further enhance the Company's leadership in Las Vegas, the
Company is developing, with the Howard Hughes Corporation, a medical complex,
including a 148-bed acute care hospital, an ambulatory surgery center, a medical
office building and a diagnostic center in the community of Summerlin, Nevada,
in western Las Vegas. Howard Hughes Corporation has granted to the Company the
exclusive right to operate medical facilities in Summerlin.
 
    In McAllen, Texas, to complement the Company's market leading 475-bed
McAllen Medical Center, the Company recently acquired Edinburg Hospital, located
in Edinburg, north of McAllen. McAllen is in the fourth fastest growing MSA in
the nation. The Company is further expanding its presence in the McAllen market
by building a new 124-bed acute care hospital in Edinburg and converting the
existing property to a nursing and rehabilitation facility.
 
    The Company's recent acquisitions of Aiken and Manatee in 1995 provide the
Company with two market leaders in markets with favorable demographics. Aiken, a
225-bed medical complex located in Aiken, South Carolina, is the only hospital
located in Aiken County, South Carolina. In addition, to acquire Aiken, the
Company exchanged Dallas Family Hospital and Westlake Medical Center, two
hospitals which are not leaders in their markets and which the Company was
unable to link to their respective market leaders. Manatee, a 512-bed acute care
hospital, is one of two hospitals in Manatee County, Florida.
 
    The Company's recent acquisition of Northwest Texas Health also provides the
Company with a market leader. Northwest Texas Health is one of two hospitals
located in Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo is located 90 miles from the next largest
city and has a population of approximately 200,000 people, growing 22% faster
than the population of the U.S. as a whole. The Company intends to position
Northwest Texas Health as the hub of a health care delivery system. Northwest
Texas Health is a full service tertiary health care system with market leading
cardiac, obstetrics, pediatrics, trauma, and behavioral health services. In
addition to the acute care and behavioral health hospitals, Northwest Texas
Health also operates two fully equipped outpatient urgent care clinics and the
county's only ambulance and only rescue helicopter services. Northwest Texas
Health had been government operated.
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
The Company expects to improve the operating performance of Northwest Texas
Health by adding services, more aggressively marketing existing capabilities,
reducing supply expenses, reducing the expense of purchased services, and
reducing labor costs.
 
    The majority of the Company's behavioral health centers are either the first
or second largest facility in their respective markets, ranked by beds/revenues.
In April 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the First
Hospital Properties. This acquisition will augment the Company's presence in
Pennsylvania. Each of the First Hospital Facilities is the leading provider of
behavioral health services in its market. The combination of the First Hospital
Facilities and their related outpatient activities plus the four managed units
in Pennsylvania create the largest comprehensive behavioral health network in
Pennsylvania. The Company believes its historical success in operating
behavioral health facilities, when coupled with the acquired contract management
business of the First Hospital Properties, will make it an effective competitor
for new contracts to manage behavioral health units of hospitals.
 
    The Company has also established market leadership positions with most of
its ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology centers. The majority of
the Company's surgery centers are the sole free standing providers in their
respective markets and all except one of the Company's free standing radiation
centers are the sole providers. The Company seeks to acquire ambulatory surgery
centers and radiation oncology centers which are the sole free standing
providers in a market, since these centers provide a cost-effective alternative
to the local hospital.
 
  Develop Integrated Healthcare Delivery Systems
 
    In each of its hospital's markets, the Company has established or is
developing an integrated healthcare delivery system to offer a full range of
patient care on a cost-effective basis. Through the development of integrated
healthcare delivery systems, the Company believes that it will augment revenues
and market share by attracting an increasing share of large, sophisticated
governmental and private sector managed care contracts. The Company believes
that hospitals are the logical hubs for the development of integrated healthcare
delivery systems due to their highly developed infrastructure, extensive base of
services, sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. The Company believes
that the development of integrated healthcare delivery systems is accomplished
by (i) maintaining a single hospital's leadership in its market or (ii)
coordinating the services of its hospital with the market leader.
 
    In certain markets where the Company is a market leader, for example Las
Vegas, Nevada and McAllen, Texas, the Company has positioned its hospitals as
the center of healthcare delivery systems by responding to community needs and
developing new services. In Las Vegas, the Company developed an outpatient
surgery center, conducted a major renovation of its emergency room and is
establishing a neonatal intensive care unit. In the Las Vegas and McAllen
markets, the Company has also undertaken development activities. In addition, as
a market leader, the Company intends to position Northwest Texas Health as the
center of a healthcare delivery system. See "Prospectus Summary--The Company."
 
    To increase the presence of the Company's behavioral health centers in
southeastern Massachusetts, the Company recently acquired Fuller Memorial
Psychiatric Hospital. Fuller, which is located in close proximity to two of the
Company's other behavioral health centers and its 11 day-treatment clinics, will
augment the Company's ability to serve additional patients in southeastern
Massachusetts.
 
    In markets where the Company is not by itself a market share leader, the
Company attempts to link its hospitals with the market leader. The Company has
effected such a linkage in New Orleans, where its hospitals are linked with
Methodist Hospital and East Jefferson Hospital, both of which are their
respective market leaders.
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
  Develop and Maintain Strong Relationships with Physicians
 
    The Company believes that its success will depend in large part on
maintaining strong relationships with physicians, and has, therefore, devoted
substantial management effort and resources to establish and maintain such
relationships and to foster a physician-friendly culture at each of its
hospitals. The Company attracts physicians to its hospitals by equipping its
hospitals with sophisticated equipment, constructing medical office buildings
adjacent to many of its hospitals, providing physicians with a large degree of
independence in conducting their hospital practice, supplying a quality nursing
and technical staff and sponsoring training programs to educate physicians on
advanced medical procedures. These efforts help develop and maintain strong
relationships with physicians and better serve the needs of patients. In
addition, consistent with the Company's goal of establishing integrated
healthcare delivery systems, the Company is expanding its alliances with
physicians to create long term hospital/physician linkages. These arrangements
will allow physicians to participate in the delivery of healthcare at the
network level. For example, in Nevada, the Company has established Universal
Health Network, a PPO with approximately 125,000 covered lives.
 
  Maintain a Low Cost Structure While Providing High Quality Care
 
    The Company has taken steps to create a low cost structure, which the
Company believes will enable it to continue to compete effectively in each of
its current markets. The Company has established standardized management
information systems which provide accurate clinical and financial data for use
by hospital staff, physicians and corporate management. In addition, the Company
closely monitors departmental staffing and has established staffing level
targets for each hospital based on the amount and type of services provided. The
Company reviews compliance with these staffing targets on a monthly basis. The
Company also reviews patient length of stay, service utilization, cash flow,
accounts receivable collection, inventory levels and outside purchases. To
reduce the cost of supplies, the Company has entered into national purchasing
contracts.
 
    While maintaining its commitment to a low cost structure, the Company has
developed and implemented a continuous quality improvement program designed to
assess all levels of patient care provided in its hospitals. While the basics of
the program are mandated by federal, state and Joint Commission on Accreditation
of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") regulations and standards, the objective
of the program is to meet or exceed the mandates by focusing on hospital
systems, patient, physician and employee concerns. The quality improvement
program is managed in each hospital by a multidisciplinary committee consisting
of physicians, nurses, ancillary managers and administration. The committee
performs peer review, monitoring all functions within the hospital, identifying
opportunities to improve, recommending actions and following up on the changes
to assure improvement. The committee and its administrative support department,
quality management and the corporate quality improvement services department
meet regularly to address specific problems, program integrity, and ways to
improve patients care under a "Total Quality Management System." Continual
review, analysis and training provided through the quality improvement program
provides patients, physicians and third party payors assurance that efficient,
quality patient care receives the highest priority at each of the Company's
hospitals. The Company's efforts in maintaining high quality care have been
recognized. Recent awards include (i) the 1994 Quality and Productivity Award
being given by the United States Senate to Valley Hospital Medical Center; (ii)
30% of the Company's hospitals, consisting of Keystone Center, Chalmette Medical
Center, Turning Point Hospital, HRI Hospital, The Arbour, Del Amo Hospital,
River Parishes Hospital, Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital and Manatee, receiving
JCAHO Accreditation with Commendation (awarded to only 5% of hospitals,
nationally); and (iii) the Company being recognized by the Pennsylvania Council
of Excellence for quality management accomplishment. Northwest Texas Health,

  Attract Managed Care Contracts
 
    The Company has extensive experience in working with managed care providers.
Pressures to control healthcare costs have resulted in a continuing increase in
the percentage of the United States population that is covered by managed
healthcare plans. To increase the cost-effectiveness of healthcare delivery,
managed care payors have introduced new utilization review systems and have
increased the use of discounted and capitated fee arrangements. Further, managed
care payors have attempted, where appropriate, to direct patients to less
intensive alternatives along the continuum of patient care. Management has
responded to this trend by increasing the outpatient services offered at its
hospitals and behavioral health centers. In addition, the Company also continues
to add to its Ambulatory Treatment Centers Division, acquiring nine facilities
in 1994, and four facilities in 1995. In determining with which providers to
contract, payors consider, among other factors, the quality of care provided,
the range of services, the geographic coverage and the cost-effectiveness of the
care provided. The Company believes that the development and expansion of its
integrated healthcare delivery systems will enable it to better compete for
managed care contracts with payors, which, in turn, should allow it to expand
its patient volume and cash flow, notwithstanding the reduced rates at which
services are provided.
 
OPERATIONS
 
    After giving effect to the recent acquisition of Northwest Texas Health, the
Company will derive the majority of its revenue from McAllen Medical Center,
Valley Hospital, Manatee, Aiken and Northwest Texas Health. Following is a brief
discussion of these facilities and their respective geographic areas and certain
of the Company's other operations:
 
    McAllen, Texas. McAllen, located in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, is
the center of a 200-mile wide consumer market area with more than ten million
people. McAllen and its surrounding communities are in the fourth fastest
growing MSA in the country. Furthermore, the population in McAllen increases
significantly in the winter months with the inflow of retirees from the northern
states. The Company's McAllen Medical Center, a 475-bed facility, is the largest
hospital in the Rio Grande Valley and is the hub of a five-hospital delivery
network organized by the Company. The medical center offers a wide range of
services including general medical/surgical care, a 24-hour emergency room,
oncology care, cardiac care, obstetric, pediatric and neonatal care and laser
surgery. On a pro forma basis, assuming the Adjustments and excluding the
Indigent Care Reimbursements, McAllen Medical Center would have contributed 15%
of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and 30% of
the Company's EBITDAR for such period.
 
    The Company acquired Edinburg Hospital in 1994, a 112-bed acute care
facility. Located eight miles north of McAllen, this facility enhances the
Company's delivery network in this rapidly growing area. The Company is further
expanding its presence in the McAllen market by building a new 124-bed acute
care hospital in Edinburg and converting the existing property to a nursing and
rehabilitation facility.
 
    Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company's Valley Hospital is a 398-bed hospital
located in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is in the fastest growing MSA in the country. On
a pro forma basis, assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care
Reimbursements, Valley Hospital would have contributed 14% of the Company's net
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and 24% of the Company's EBITDAR
for such periods. To enhance its competitive position in the Las Vegas market,
Valley Hospital recently underwent a major expansion of its emergency room
facility, established an outpatient surgery center and is establishing a
neonatal intensive care unit.
 
    The Company has begun construction of a new facility in Summerlin, Nevada
which is a master planned community located in western Las Vegas. The new
Summerlin Medical Center will be completed in three phases and will consist of a
100,000 square foot medical building, an outpatient surgery and diagnostic
center and a 148-bed acute care hospital. Howard Hughes Corporation has granted
to the Company the exclusive right to operate medical facilities in Summerlin.

    Manatee County, Florida. Manatee County is located approximately 50 miles
south of Tampa on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The County has a current population
of approximately 250,000. The Company's Manatee Memorial Hospital ("Manatee"), a
512-bed facility, has a location which will benefit from the continuing eastern
expansion of the County. Manatee offers a wide range of services from primary
medical and surgical procedures to obstetric, pediatric, psychiatric and a broad
range of specialized programs. The Manatee Heart Center offers the full range of
cardiac care from catheterization and non-invasive procedures to open heart
surgery. The Manatee Center for Women's Health offers neonatal care in addition
to its obstetric and gynecological services. The Emergency Care Center is a
state-of-the-art facility servicing 90% of the trauma cases in the County.
Manatee also offers a full range of outpatient services to the community. It is
the only hospital in the County to operate a Life Management inpatient and
outpatient program for mentally ill individuals. Recently, Manatee opened its
new Surgery and Outpatient Services Center which provides outpatient services to
the community through twelve new surgical suites and arrays of diagnostic tests
and surgical procedures.
 
    Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements,
Manatee would have contributed 11% of the Company's net revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1995, and 12% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period.
 
    Aiken, South Carolina. Aiken Regional Medical Centers ("Aiken"), a 225-bed
medical complex, is the only hospital located in Aiken County, South Carolina.
Aiken County, which is located in west central South Carolina, has a population
of approximately 130,000 people. Aiken serves Aiken County, as well as three
other counties in South Carolina with a total market of approximately 180,000
people. Aiken's facilities include a modern, full service acute care hospital,
which recently commenced offering open heart surgeries, and a behavioral health
center.
 
    Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo is located in the Texas panhandle, has a current
population of approximately 200,000 and is located 90 miles from the next
largest city. Northwest Texas Health, a 360-bed medical complex, includes a full
service acute care hospital offering primary medical and surgical procedures and
specialized programs. The hospital is the leading provider of emergency, trauma,
obstetrics, neonatal and pediatric care in the market. Northwest Texas Health is
one of two hospitals in Amarillo and is the teaching facility of Texas Tech
University.
 
    Behavioral Health Centers. The majority of the Company's behavioral health
centers are either the first or second largest facility in their respective
markets, ranked by beds/revenues.
 
    Ambulatory Treatment Centers. The Company has also established market
leadership positions with most of its ambulatory surgery centers and radiation
oncology centers. The majority of the Company's surgery centers are the sole
free standing providers in their respective markets and all except one of the
Company's free standing radiation centers are the sole providers. The Company
seeks to acquire ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology centers which
are the sole free standing providers in a market since these centers provide a
cost-effective alternative to the local hospital.
 
    Other Activities. The Company recently has constructed and opened its first
combined women's hospital and obstetrician physician practice management center
in Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. The strategy of the Company in
establishing this hospital, Renaissance Centers For Women, is to develop and
manage fully integrated specialty hospitals and physician clinic practices of
obstetricians. The hospital houses the most modern LDRP suites, operating rooms,
laboratory, and imaging capabilities generally available to this physician
specialty. The Company may construct additional centers and manage additional
OB/GYN practices in the future.

(1) "Patient Days" is the aggregate sum for all patients of the number of days
    that hospital care is provided to each patient.
 
SOURCES OF REVENUE
 
    The Company receives payment for services rendered from private insurers,
including managed care plans, the Federal government under the Medicare program,
state governments under their respective Medicaid programs and directly from
patients. All of the Company's acute care hospitals and most of the Company's
behavioral health centers are certified as providers of Medicare and Medicaid
services by the appropriate governmental authorities. The requirements for
certification are subject to change and, in order to remain qualified for such
programs, it may be necessary for the Company to make changes from time to time
in its facilities, equipment, personnel and services. Although the Company
intends to continue in such programs, there is no assurance that it will
continue to qualify for participation.
 
    The sources of the Company's hospital revenues are charges related to the
services provided by the hospitals and their staffs, such as radiology,
operating rooms, pharmacy, physiotherapy and laboratory procedures, and basic
charges for the hospital room and related services such as general nursing care,
meals, maintenance and housekeeping. Hospital revenues depend upon the occupancy
for inpatient routine services, the extent to which ancillary services and
therapy programs are ordered by physicians and provided to patients, the volume
of out-patient procedures and the charges or negotiated payment rates for such
services. Charges and reimbursement rates for inpatient routine services vary
depending on the type of bed occupied (e.g., medical/surgical, intensive care or
psychiatric) and the geographic location of the hospital.
 
    The following table shows the approximate percentages of net patient revenue
derived by the Company's hospitals owned as of December 31, 1995, since their
respective dates of acquisition by the Company, from third party sources
excluding the effect of special Medicaid reimbursements received at

the Company's Texas acute care hospitals of $12.6 million in 1995, $12.7 million
in 1994, $13.5 million in 1993 and $29.8 million in 1992, and from all other
sources during the five years ended December 31, 1995. 1995 (Pro forma) assumes
the following transactions occurred on January 1, 1995: (i) Northwest Texas
Health acquisition (acquired in May 1996); (ii) First Hospital Properties
acquisition (expected to be completed in June 1996 subject to regulatory
approval); (iii) acquisition of Manatee (acquired in August 1995); (iv) the
acquisition of Aiken and the divestiture of Dallas Family Hospital and Westlake
Medical Center (transaction completed in July 1995); and (v) the disposition of
Universal Medical Center (disposed of in October 1995).

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
  of UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC.:
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Universal
Health Services, Inc. (Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1994 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, common
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Universal
Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                 UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal
Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") and its majority-owned subsidiaries and
partnerships controlled by the Company as the managing general partner. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The
more significant accounting policies follow:
 
    NATURE OF OPERATIONS: The principal business of the Company is owning and
operating acute care hospitals, behavioral health centers, ambulatory surgery
centers and radiation oncology centers. At December 31, 1995, the Company
operated 29 hospitals, consisting of 14 acute care hospitals and 15 behavioral
health centers, in Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas
and Washington. The Company, as part of its Ambulatory Treatment Centers
Division owns outright, or in partnership with physicians, and operates or
manages 25 surgery and radiation oncology centers located in 14 states.
 
    Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery,
internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, diagnostic care,
coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. The Company provides
capital resources as well as a variety of management services to its facilities,
including central purchasing, data processing, finance and control systems,
facilities planning, physician recruitment services, administrative personnel
management, marketing and public relations.
 
    Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals, and ambulatory
treatment centers accounted for 84%, 85% and 86% of consolidated net revenues in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    NET REVENUES: Net revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable
amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered,
including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with
third-party payors. These net revenues are accrued on an estimated basis in the
period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final
settlements are determined. Medicare and Medicaid net revenues represented 43%,
44% and 48% of net patient revenues for the years 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively, excluding the additional revenues from special Medicaid
reimbursement programs described in Note 11.
 
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Expenditures for renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts.
Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of
the respective asset are expensed as incurred. The Company removes the cost and
the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts for assets sold or
retired and the resulting gains or losses are included in the results of
operations.
 
    Depreciation is provided on the straightline method over the estimated
useful lives of buildings and improvements (twenty to forty years) and equipment
(five to fifteen years).
 
    OTHER ASSETS: The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in
purchase transactions, net of accumulated amortization of $52,261,000 in 1994
and $59,957,000 in 1995 is amortized using the straight-line method over periods
ranging from five to forty years.
 
    During 1994, the Company established an employee life insurance program
covering approximately 2,200 employees. At December 31, 1994 and 1995, the cash
surrender value of the policies ($41.3 million and $34.3 million) were recorded
net of related loans ($41.0 million and $34.4 million) and is included in other
assets.

                UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
    LONG-LIVED ASSETS: It is the Company's policy to review the carrying value
of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.
 
    In 1995, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." The Statement requires the
recognition of an impairment loss for an asset held for use when the estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset is less
than its carrying amount.
 
    Measurement of the impairment loss is based on fair value of the asset.
Generally, fair value will be determined using valuation techniques such as the
present value of expected future cash flows. See Note 9.
 
    INCOME TAXES: The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated Federal tax
returns. Deferred taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or
deductible in future years as a result of differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
 
    OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES: Other noncurrent liabilities include the
long-term portion of the Company's professional and general liability and
workers' compensation reserves and minority interests in majority owned
subsidiaries and partnerships.
 
    EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENTS: 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. The 1993 and 1994
earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion of the
Company's convertible debentures. In April 1994, the Company redeemed the
debentures which reduced the fully diluted number of shares outstanding by
902,466.
 
    STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash
flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Interest expense in
the consolidated statements of income is net of interest income of $498,000,
$266,000 and $567,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS: In managing interest rate exposure, the
Company at times enters into interest rate swap agreements. When interest rates
change, the differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest expense
and is recognized over the life of the agreements. Gains and losses on
terminated interest rate swap agreements are amortized into income over the
remaining life of the underlying debt obligation or the remaining life of the
original swap, if shorter.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The fair value of the Company's
registered debt, interest rate swap agreements and investments is based on
quoted market prices. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for
cash, accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings approximates fair value due
to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items have
been excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes
to consolidated financial statements.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
 
    1995--During the second quarter, the Company acquired an 82-bed psychiatric
hospital located in South Attleboro, Massachusetts for approximately $3 million.
The Company also purchased for approximately $2 million, a majority interest in
two separate partnerships which own and operate outpatient surgery centers
located in Fayetteville, Arkansas and Somersworth, New Hampshire.
 
    During the third quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Aiken
Regional Medical Centers, ("Aiken") a 225-bed acute care facility located in
Aiken, South Carolina for approximately $44 million in cash, a 104-bed acute
care hospital and a 126-bed acute care hospital. The majority of the real estate
assets of the 126-bed facility were being leased from Universal Health Realty
Income Trust (the "Trust") pursuant to the terms of an operating lease which was
scheduled to expire in 2000. In exchange for the real estate assets of the
126-bed acute care hospital, the Company exchanged substitute properties
consisting of additional real estate assets owned by the Company but related to
three acute care facilities owned by the Trust and operated by the Company. As a
result of the divestiture of the two acute care hospitals in connection with the
acquisition of Aiken Regional Medical Centers, the Company recorded a $4.3
million and a $2.7 million pre-tax charge in the 1994 and 1995 consolidated
statements of income, respectively.
 
    During the third quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Manatee
Memorial Hospital, ("Manatee") a 512-bed acute care hospital located in
Bradenton, Florida for approximately $139 million in cash and assumption of net
liabilities of approximately $4 million.
 
    During the fourth quarter, the Company sold the operations and substantially
all the assets of Universal Medical Center ("UMC"), a 202-bed acute care
hospital located in Plantation, Florida for cash proceeds of approximately $20
million. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $5 million which
has been included in nonrecurring charges in the 1995 consolidated statement of
income.
 
    In September, 1995, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire
Northwest Texas Hospital, a 360-bed acute care facility located in Amarillo,
Texas. The closing of this transaction, which is expected to be completed during
the second quarter of 1996, is subject to a number of conditions. Cash
consideration is expected to approximate $120 million in addition to payments by
the Company to the Amarillo Hospital District of 15% of any amount of earnings
before depreciation, interest and taxes in excess of $24 million in each year of
the seven year period commencing April 1, 1996 and ending March 31, 2003. In
addition under terms of the agreement, the Amarillo Hospital District will pay
the Company $8 million per year for the first four years and $6 million per year
(subject to certain adjustments for inflation) for up to an additional 36 years
to help support the cost of medical service to indigent patients.
 
    Operating results of Aiken and Manatee have been included in the financial
statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Assuming the Aiken and
Manatee acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 1995 the unaudited pro
forma net revenues and net income would have been approximately $1 billion and
$37.9 million, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma earnings per
share would have been $1.35. The unaudited pro forma financial information may
not be indicative of results that would have been reported if the acquisitions
had occurred at the beginning of 1995 and may not be indicative of future
operating results.
 
    The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in the 1995
purchase transactions is amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen
years.

2) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES--(CONTINUED)
    1994--During 1994 the Company purchased majority interests in two separate
partnerships which own and operate outpatient surgery facilities. One of these
partnerships was merged with an existing partnership in which the Company held a
majority ownership. The Company also agreed to manage the operations of, and
purchased a majority interest in, these separate partnerships which lease fixed
assets to four radiation therapy centers located in Kentucky. In addition, the
Company purchased one radiation center and majority interests in two separate
partnerships which own and operate radiation therapy centers. Total
consideration for these acquisitions was $14.5 million in cash, and the
assumption of liabilities totaling $3.0 million.
 
    In November 1994, the Company acquired a 112-bed acute care hospital located
in Edinburg, Texas for net cash of approximately $11.3 million and the
assumption of liabilities totaling $2.2 million. In connection with this
acquisition, the Company committed to invest at least an additional $30 million,
over a ten year period, to renovate the existing facility and construct an
additional facility. Approximately $2.2 million was spent on this project during
1995.
 
    Operating results of the hospital located in Edinburg have been included in
the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Assuming the above
Edinburg, Aiken and Manatee acquisitions had been completed as of January 1,
1994 the unaudited pro forma net revenues and net income would have been $952
million and $32 million, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma
earnings per share would have been $1.13. The unaudited pro forma financial
information may not be indicative of results that would have been reported if
the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1994 and may not be indicative
of future operating results.
 
    1993--During 1993 the Company purchased a radiation therapy center and
majority interests in four separate partnerships which own and operate
ambulatory surgery facilities for $11.5 million in cash and the assumption of
liabilities totaling $300,000.
 
    During the fourth quarter, the Company sold the operations and fixed assets
of a 124-bed acute care hospital for approximately $7.8 million in cash. The
Company also sold the operations and certain fixed assets of a 134-bed acute
care hospital for cash of $1.5 million. Concurrently, the Company sold certain
related real property to Universal Health Realty Income Trust (the "Trust"), an
affiliate and the lessor of this 134-bed acute care hospital, for $1 million in
cash and a note receivable of $900,000 (see Note 8). In connection with this
transaction, the Company's lease with the Trust for this property was
terminated. The disposition of these two facilities resulted in a pre-tax loss
of $4.4 million ($2.2 million after tax), which is included in nonrecurring
charges in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.
 
    Also during 1993, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $4.4 million
related to the winding down or disposition of other non-strategic businesses
which is included in nonrecurring charges in the 1993 consolidated statement of
income.

    During the third quarter of 1995, the Company completed the issuance of $135
million of Senior Notes which have an 8.75% coupon rate and which mature on
August 15, 2005. The Notes can be redeemed in whole or in part, at any time on
or after August 15, 2000, initially at a price of 102.265%, declining ratably to
par on or after August 15, 2002. The interest on the bonds will be paid
semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The net
proceeds generated from the issuance were approximately $131 million and were
used to finance the acquisitions described in Note 2. In anticipation of the
Senior Note issuance, the Company entered into interest rate swaps having a
total notional principal amount of $100 million to hedge the interest rate on
the Notes. These interest rate swaps were terminated simultaneously with the
issuance of the Notes at which time the Company paid a net termination fee of
$5.4 million. The effective rate on the Notes including the amortization of swap
termination fees and bond discount is 9.2%.
 
    The Company amended its unsecured non-amortizing revolving credit agreement
in 1995. The amended agreement, which expires on March 31, 2000, provides for
$225 million of borrowing capacity, subject to certain conditions, until March
31, 1998, $210 million until March 31, 1999 and $185 million until March 31,
2000. The agreement provides for interest, at the Company's option at the prime
rate, certificate of deposit rate plus 5/8% to 1 1/8% or Euro-dollar plus 1/2%
to 1%. A fee ranging from 1/8% to 3/8% is required on the unused portion of this
commitment. The margins over the certificate of deposit, the Euro-dollar rates
and the commitment fee are based upon specified leverage and coverage ratios. At
December 31, 1995 the applicable margins over the certificate of deposit and the
Euro-dollar rate were 7/8% and 3/4%, respectively, and the commitment fee was
1/4%. There are no compensating balance requirements. The agreement contains a
provision whereby 50% of the net consideration, in excess of $25 million, from
the disposition of assets will be applied to reduce commitments unless such net
consideration is reinvested in newly acquired capital over a twelve month
period. At December 31, 1995,

3) LONG-TERM DEBT--(CONTINUED)
the Company had $207 million of unused borrowing capacity available under the
revolving credit agreement.
 
    The average amounts outstanding during 1993, 1994 and 1995 under the
revolving credit and demand notes and commercial paper program were $25,069,000,
$16,324,000 and $46,984,000, respectively with corresponding effective interest
rates of 4.6%, 7.9% and 8.0% including commitment fees. The maximum amounts
outstanding at any month-end were $46,800,000, $47,450,000 and $79,450,000
during 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are pledged as
collateral to secure its $50 million, daily valued commercial paper program. The
Company has sufficient patient receivables to support a larger program, and upon
the mutual consent of the Company and the participating lending institutions,
the commitment can be increased. A fee of .76% is required on this $50 million
commitment. Outstanding amounts of commercial paper that can be refinanced
through available borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement are
classified as long-term.
 
    At December 31, 1995, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement with
a notional principal amount of $10 million. This agreement calls for the payment
of interest at a fixed rate by the Company in return for payment of a variable
rate interest by a commercial bank. This swap effectively fixes the Company's
interest rate on $10 million of its floating rate debt at 9.015%. The interest
rate swap expires in March, 1996. The effective interest rate on the Company's
revolving credit, demand notes and commercial paper program including the
interest rate swap expense was 13.9%, 16.1% and 8.4% during 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. Additional interest expense recorded as a result of the Company's
hedging activity was $3,160,000, $1,981,000 and $209,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of
non-performance by the counterparty to the interest rate swap agreement. This
counterparty is a major financial institution which is rated AA by Moody's
Investors Service and the Company does not anticipate nonperformance. The cost
to terminate the swap obligation at December 31, 1994 and 1995, was
approximately $151,000 and $113,000, respectively.
 
    Covenants relating to long-term debt require maintenance of a minimum net
worth, specified debt to total capital, debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage
ratios. Covenants also limit the Company's ability to incur additional senior
debt and to pay cash dividends and repurchase its shares and limit capital
expenditures, among other restrictions. Management believes the Company is in
compliance with all required covenants as of December 31, 1995.
 
    The fair value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 1995 was
approximately $247,302,000.

4) COMMON STOCK
 
    During 1993 and 1994, the Company repurchased 449,600 and 1,019,600 shares
of Class B Common Stock, respectively, at an average purchase price of $7.20 and
$12.90 per share, respectively, or an aggregate of approximately $3.2 million
and $13.2 million, respectively. All repurchases during 1994 were made
subsequent to March 1, 1994. The Company's ability to repurchase its shares is
limited by long-term debt covenants to $50 million plus 50% of cumulative net
income since March, 1994. Under the terms of these covenants, the Company had
the ability to repurchase an additional $79.4 million of its Common Stock as of
December 31, 1995. The repurchased shares are treated as retired.
 
    At December 31, 1995 6,089,686 shares of Class B Common Stock were reserved
for issuance upon conversion of shares of Class A, C and D Common Stock
outstanding, for issuance upon exercise of options to purchase Class B Common
Stock, and for issuance of stock under other incentive plans. Class A, C and D
Common Stock are convertible on a share for share basis into Class B Common
Stock.
 
    In 1994, the Company adopted a Stock Compensation Plan under which up to
100,000 Class B Common Shares may be granted to key employees, consultants and
independent contractors, but not to officers or directors. The Plan will
terminate on November 16, 2004, unless terminated sooner by the Board. In 1994,
3,600 shares were granted under this plan.
 
    Under the terms of the Stock Bonus Plan adopted in 1992, eligible employees
may elect to receive all or part of their annual bonuses in shares of restricted
stock (the "Bonus Shares"). Those electing to receive Bonus Shares also receive
additional restricted shares in an amount equal to 20% of their Bonus Shares
(the "Premium Shares"). Restrictions on one-half of the Bonus Shares and
one-half of the Premium Shares lapse after one year and the restrictions on the
remaining shares lapse after two years. The Company has reserved 300,000 shares
of Class B Common Stock for this plan and has issued 145,316 shares at December
31, 1995.
 
    Under the terms of the Stock Ownership Plan, eligible employees may purchase
shares of Class B Common Stock directly from the Company at the market price.
The Company will loan each eligible employee an amount equal to 90% of the
purchase price for the shares. The loans, which are partially recourse to the
employee, bear interest at the applicable Federal rate and are due five years
from the purchase date. Shares purchased under this plan are restricted from
sale or transfer. Restrictions on one-half of the shares lapse after one year
and restrictions on the remaining shares lapse after two years. The Company has
reserved 200,000 shares of Class B Common Stock for this plan. As of December
31, 1995, 69,500 shares were sold under the terms of this plan.
 
    The Company also has a Restricted Stock Purchase Plan which allows eligible
participants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock at par value, subject to
certain restrictions. Under the terms of this plan, 600,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock have been reserved for purchase by officers, key employees and
consultants. The restrictions lapse at various dates, as determined by the Board
of Directors, ranging from six months to five years from the date of purchase.
The Company has issued 369,026 shares under this plan, of which 90,000, 82,672
and 93,348 became fully vested during 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.
Compensation expense, based on the difference between the market price on the
date of purchase and par value, is being amortized over the restriction period
and was $240,000 in 1993, $148,000 in 1994 and $415,000 in 1995.
 
    Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted a Stock Purchase Plan,
subject to shareholder approval, which allows eligible employees to purchase
shares of Class B Common Stock at a ten percent discount. The maximum number of
shares of stock that can be issued under the plan is 800,000.

4) COMMON STOCK--(CONTINUED)
    Stock options to purchase Class B Common Stock have been granted to
officers, key employees and directors of the Company under various plans. During
1994 and 1995 the Board of Directors and shareholders, respectively, approved a
1,200,000 share increase in the reserve for Class B Common Stock available for
grant, pursuant to the terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan. Also during 1995,
subject to shareholder approval, the Board of Directors approved a 1,000,000
share increase in the reserve for Class B Common Stock available for grant
pursuant to the terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan. All stock options were
granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the
grant. Options are exercisable ratably over a four year period beginning one
year after the date of the grant. The options expire five years after the date
of the grant.
 
    Information with respect to these options is summarized as follows:

    At December 31, 1995, 994,450 shares were available for grant. At December
31, 1995, options for 444,250 shares of Class B Common Stock with an aggregate
purchase price of $4,023,852 (average of $9.06 per share) were exercisable.
 
    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Statement encourages a
fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar
equity instruments, which generally would result in the recording of additional
compensation expense in an entity's financial statements. The Statement also
allows an entity to continue to account for stock-based employee using the
intrinsic value based method in APB Opinion No. 25. The Company intends to
continue its accounting for equity instruments using APB No. 25. As a result,
beginning in 1996, the Company will be required to make pro forma disclosures of
net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied.

    The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," (SFAS
109). Under SFAS 109, deferred taxes are required to be classified based on the
financial statement classification of the related assets and liabilities which
give rise to temporary differences. The net effect of the impact of the 1993 tax
law changes on the current and deferred tax provisions was immaterial.
 
    Deferred taxes result from temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The
components of deferred taxes are as follows:

    In 1995 and 1994, the Company reviewed its deferred state tax balances and
as a result reduced its tax provision by $390,000 in each year. The net deferred
tax assets and liabilities are comprised as follows:

    The assets and liabilities classified as current relate primarily to the
allowance for uncollectible patient accounts and the current portion of the
temporary differences related to self-insurance reserves and the change in
accounting method. Under SFAS 109, a valuation allowance is required when it is
more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable
income. Although realization in not assured, management believes it is more
likely than not that all the deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly,
the Company has not provided a valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred
tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of
future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
 
6) LEASE COMMITMENTS
 
    Certain of the Company's hospital and medical office facilities and
equipment are held under operating or capital leases which expire through 2013
(see Note 8). Certain of these leases also contain provisions allowing the

    Capital lease obligations of $5,371,000, $4,654,000 and $4,961,000 in 1993,
1994 and 1995, respectively, were incurred when the Company entered into capital
leases for new equipment.
 
7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    Most of the Company's subsidiaries are self-insured for general liability
risks for claims limited to $5 million per occurrence and for professional
liability risks for claims limited to $25 million per occurrence. Coverage in
excess of these limits up to $100 million is maintained with major insurance
carriers. Since 1993, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, including one of
its larger acute care facilities, have purchased general and professional
liability occurrence policies with commercial insurers. These policies include
coverage up to $25 million per occurrence for general and professional liability
risks.
 
    As of December 1994 and 1995, the reserve for professional and general
liability risks was $62.4 million and $67.2 million, respectively, of which
$11.0 million and $22.8 million in 1994 and 1995, respectively, is included in
current liabilities. Self-insurance reserves are based upon actuarially
determined estimates. These estimates are based on historical information along
with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such
things as medical costs as well as changes in actual experience could cause
these estimates to change in the near term.
 
    Effective January 1, 1996, the Company's self-insured subsidiaries purchased
general and professional liability insurance coverage for a three year term with
a commercial insurer. These policies include coverage for claims in excess of $5
million and limited to $25 million per occurrence and have an unlimited
aggregate.
 
    The Company has outstanding letters of credit totalling $20.8 million
related to the Company's self-insurance programs ($10.8 million), as support for
various debt instruments ($1.3 million) and as support for a loan guarantee for
an unaffiliated party ($8.7 million). The Company has also guaranteed
approximately $1.1 million of loans.

7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES--(CONTINUED)
    The Company is committed to invest at least an additional $30 million, over
a ten year period, to renovate the existing facility and construct an additional
facility related to its 1994 acquisition of a 112-bed acute care hospital
located in Edinburg, Texas (See Note 2). The Company has also agreed to
construct a medical complex, including a 129-bed acute care facility, in
Summerlin, Nevada for a total cost of approximately $60 million.
 
    The Company signed a letter of intent to acquire a 360-bed acute care
hospital located in Amarillo, Texas. The closing of this transaction, which is
expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1996, is subject to a
number of conditions. Cash consideration is expected to approximate $120
million.
 
    The Company estimates the cost to complete major construction projects in
progress at December 31, 1995 will approximate $45.8 million.
 
    The Company has entered into a long-term contract with a third party to
provide certain data processing services for its acute care and psychiatric
hospitals. This contract expires in 2002.
 
    Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are
pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such
claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
 
8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
    At December 31, 1995, the Company held approximately 8% of the outstanding
shares of Universal Health Realty Income Trust (the "Trust"). Certain officers
and directors of the Company are also officers and/or Directors of the Trust.
The Company accounts for its investment in the Trust using the equity method of
accounting. The Company's pre-tax share of income from the Trust was $757,000,
$1,095,000 and $1,052,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and is included
in net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The
carrying value of this investment at December 31, 1994 and 1995 was $8,404,000
and $8,468,000, respectively, and is included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The market value of this investment at
December 31, 1994 and 1995 was $11,261,000 and $12,489,000, respectively.
 
    During 1993, pursuant to the terms of its lease with the Trust, the Company
purchased the real property of a 48-bed psychiatric hospital located in Texas
for $3.2 million. The real property of this hospital was previously leased by
the Company and base rental payments continued under the existing lease until
the date of sale. Operations at this hospital were discontinued during the first
quarter of 1992, however, the facility is currently being utilized for
outpatient services at one of the Company's acute care hospitals. Also during
1993, the Company sold to the Trust certain real estate assets of a 134-bed
hospital located in Illinois for approximately $1.9 million. These assets
consisted of additions and improvements made to the facility by the Company
since the sale of the major portion of the real estate assets to the Trust in
1986. The operations of this facility were sold during 1993 to an operator
unaffiliated with the Company.
 
    As of December 31, 1995, the Company leased seven hospital facilities from
the Trust with initial terms expiring in 1999 through 2003. These leases contain
up to six 5-year renewal options. Future minimum lease payments to the Trust are
included in Note 6. The terms of the lease provide that in the event the Company
discontinues operations at the leased facility for more than one year, the
Company is obligated to offer a substitute property. If the Trust does not
accept the substitute property offered,

8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--(CONTINUED)
the Company is obligated to purchase the leased facility back from the Trust at
a price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or the original
purchase price paid by the Trust. During 1995, in exchange for the real estate
assets of a 126-bed acute care hospital divested by the Company during the year,
the Company exchanged with the Trust substitute properties consisting of
additional real estate assets owned by the Company but related to three acute
care facilities owned by the Trust and operated by the Company (See Note 2).
Total rent expense under these operating leases was $16,600,000 in 1993,
$15,700,000 in 1994 and $16,000,000 in 1995. The Company received an advisory
fee of $880,000 in 1993, $909,000 in 1994 and $953,000 in 1995 from the Trust
for investment and administrative services provided under a contractual
agreement which is included in net revenues in the accompanying consolidated
statement of income.
 
    A member of the Company's Board of Directors is a partner in the law firm
used by the Company as its principal outside counsel. Another member of the
Company's Board of Directors is a managing director of one of the underwriters
who performed investment banking services related to the Senior Notes issued
during 1995.
 
9) OTHER NONRECURRING CHARGES
 
    Changes in third party payment methods, advances in medical technologies,
legislative and regulatory initiatives at the Federal and state levels along
with increased competition from other providers have impacted operating margins
at the Company's facilities in recent years. These industry conditions have
adversely impacted certain of the Company's specialized facilities and certain
of the Company's smaller facilities in more competitive markets.
 
    The increased penetration of managed care into the chemical dependency
segment of the behavioral health services market, increased competition from
acute care providers seeking to expand their service lines and the continuing
shift to partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment programs have resulted
in significant reduction in admissions and patient days at the Company's two
chemical dependency facilities. Changes in CHAMPUS regulations and the
increasing influence of managed care have led to shorter lengths of stay for
patients at the Company's two residential treatment centers. These factors have
led management to conclude that there has been a permanent impairment in the
carrying value of these four facilities in the behavioral health services
division.
 
    Increased competition and penetration of managed care in the two geographic
markets where three of the Company's ambulatory treatment centers are located
have led management to conclude that there has been a permanent impairment in
the carrying value those facilities.
 
    In conjunction with the development of the Company's operating plan and 1996
budget, management assessed the current competitive position of these facilities
and estimated future cash flows expected from these facilities. As a result, the
Company recorded a $14.2 million pre-tax nonrecurring charge in the 1995
consolidated statement of income related primarily to the write-down of the
carrying value of certain intangible and tangible assets at these facilities. In
measuring the impairment loss, the Company estimated fair value by discounting
expected future cash flows from each facility using the Company's internal
hurdle rate.

10) PENSION PLAN
 
    The Company maintains a contributory and non-contributory retirement plan
for eligible employees. The non-contributory plan is a defined benefit pension
plan which covers employees of one of the Company's subsidiaries. The benefits
are based on years of service and the employee's highest compensation for any
five years of employment. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually
at least the minimum amount that should be funded in accordance with the
provisions of ERISA.
 
    The plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's balance
sheet as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

                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, 1995.
 
(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 payable on May 17, 1996 to shareholders of record as of
May 6, 1996. All classes of common stock will participate 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 months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 have been adjusted accordingly, to reflect the two for one stock split. The
number of Class A, B, C and D shares outstanding as of April 30, 1996 and March
31, 1996 have also been adjusted to reflect the two for one stock split.
 
(3) UNUSUAL ITEMS
 
    Included in net revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996
and 1995 was $1.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of additional revenues
received from special Medicaid reimbursements received by two of the Company's
acute care facilities which participate in the Texas Medical Assistance Program.
Upon meeting certain conditions of participation and serving a disproportionally
high share of the state's low income patients, the hospitals became eligible and
received additional reimbursement from the state's disproportionate share
hospital fund. These programs are scheduled to terminate in August, 1996 and the
Company cannot predict whether these programs will continue beyond the scheduled
termination date.
 
(4) OTHER LIABILITIES
 
    Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's
professional and general liability and workers' compensation reserves.
 
(5) COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an
aggregate of $22,000,000 related principally to the Company's self-insurance
programs and as support for various debt instruments and loan guarantees.

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
    Subsequent to the end of the 1996 first quarter, the Company executed a
purchase agreement to acquire four behavioral health care hospitals located in
Pennsylvania and seven contracts to manage behavioral health programs. This
purchase transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to be
completed in June, 1996. The total purchase price for the acquisition of these
hospitals and management contracts is $36.5 million in cash for the operations
and the property, plant and equipment and up to an additional $5 million which
is contingent upon the future operating performance of the acquired assets. In
May of 1996, the Company advanced $36.5 million to the seller pursuant to a term
note, which is secured by the stock of the subsidiaries to be acquired by the
Company. The term note matures upon the earlier of the granting of regulatory
approval and the closing of the purchase transaction, or October 31, 1996. Also
in connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a $7 million loan
agreement which is secured by the stock of the subsidiaries to be acquired by
the Company. The $7 million note, the term of which may be extended upon closing
of the above mentioned purchase transaction, is scheduled to mature upon the
earlier of the granting of regulatory approval and the closing of the purchase
transaction described above, or October 31, 1996.
 
    In May, 1996 the Company completed the acquisition of Northwest Texas
Healthcare System located in Amarillo, Texas for approximately $125 million in
cash and additional amounts payable to the seller based upon performance of the
facility for a seven year period after the closing. Northwest Texas Healthcare
System consists of a 360 licensed bed full service acute care hospital and free
standing behavioral health hospital, two urgent care clinics and other
operations.
 
    The funds used to finance the above mentioned transactions were borrowed
under the Company's revolving credit facility.

The Board of Managers
Amarillo Hospital District
Amarillo, Texas
 
    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Northwest Texas Healthcare
System (the Hospital), an operation of the Amarillo Hospital District, as of
September 30, 1995, and the related statements of revenue and expenses, changes
in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Hospital's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    As discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the
financial statements of the Hospital are intended to present the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of only that portion of the
financial reporting entity of the Amarillo Hospital District that are
attributable to the transactions of the Hospital.
 
    In our opinion, the 1995 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Hospital as of
September 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
    As discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Hospital
changed its method of accounting for investment securities as of September 30,
1994 to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
 
    Northwest Texas Healthcare System (the Hospital) is operated by the Amarillo
Hospital District (the District) a political subdivision of the State of Texas.
The District is a component unit of the City of Amarillo and the City Commission
of the City of Amarillo appoints the District's Board of Managers and approves
the ad valorem tax rate and annual operating budget. The accompanying financial
statements of the Hospital are intended to present the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of only that portion of the financial
reporting entity of the District that are attributable to the transactions of
the Hospital.
 
HOSPITAL OPERATIONS
 
    The Hospital operates general and emergency health care facilities, an
outpatient indigent clinic, outpatient community service clinics, a psychiatric
and behavioral hospital, and ambulance services in Amarillo, Texas. It also
serves as a teaching hospital for the Texas Tech University Health Sciences
Center.
 
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountant's Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of
Providers of Health Care Services, and all applicable Governmental Accounting
Standards Board and Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements.
 
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The unaudited condensed interim financial statements included herein were
prepared from the books of the Hospital in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim
periods. The current interim period reported herein is not necessarily an
indication of the expected results for the fiscal year.
 
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
 
    Transactions deemed by management to be ongoing, major or central to
providing health care services are reported as revenue and expenses. Peripheral
or incidental transactions are reported as nonoperating gains and losses.
 
NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
 
    Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable
amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered,
including estimated retroactive adjustments under
 
                                      F-33

            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
                    YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND 1995
            AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 (UNAUDITED)
 
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING--(CONTINUED)
reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are
accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered
and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined.
 
    The majority of the Hospital's activities are with patients who reside
within Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle area. As of September 30, 1995 and 1994,
the Hospital's net patient receivable for services rendered was approximately
$17,000,000 and $16,000,000, respectively. The Hospital routinely requests
payment at the time the services are rendered, but does not refuse services to
anyone based upon inability to pay. The Hospital generally does not require
collateral or other security in extending credit to patients; however, it
routinely obtains assignments of patients' benefits payable from commercial
health insurance carriers and other third-party payors. Possible credit losses
arising from the Hospital's operations are provided for in the allowance for
estimated uncollectibles.
 
CHARITY CARE
 
    The primary purpose for the establishment of the District is to own and
operate a hospital or hospital system for indigent and needy persons within the
District. In this regard, the Hospital provides care to patients who meet
certain criteria under its charity care policies without charge or at amounts
significantly less than its established rates. The Hospital does not pursue
collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care; accordingly, such
amounts are not reported as revenue.
 
AD VALOREM TAXES
 
    The Hospital received approximately 6.4% and 5.9% of its total revenue from
ad valorem taxes in 1994 and 1995, respectively, of which approximately 79% was
used to support operations and the remaining 21% was used for debt service. The
District's ad valorem tax rate was 19.04 and 18.34 cents per $100 valuation in
1994 and 1995, respectively. Ad valorem taxes are levied on October 1 of each
year and are delinquent if not paid by January 31 of the following year;
accordingly, ad valorem taxes are recorded at October 1 as deferred revenue and
revenue is recognized for interim financial statement purposes ratably
throughout the fiscal year.
 
ESTIMATED SELF-INSURANCE COSTS
 
    The Hospital self-insures for claims arising from professional malpractice,
health benefits for employees and eligible dependents and workers' compensation
benefits. The provisions for estimated self-insurance costs include estimates of
the ultimate costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not
reported. The provisions for professional malpractice are reported in
professional malpractice costs and the provisions for health benefits and
workers' compensation are reported in wages, salaries and benefits expense in
the accompanying statements of revenue and expenses.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Cash and cash equivalents include investments in highly liquid debt and
equity instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less.
For purposes of the statements of cash flows,

C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING--(CONTINUED)
cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts whose use is limited by board
designation or other arrangements under trust agreements.
 
ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED
 
    Assets whose use is limited include (1) assets designated by the Board for
employee benefits, workers' compensation benefits, malpractice funding
arrangements, commitments to fund health care related projects and future
capital improvements over which the Board retains control and may, at its
discretion, use for other purposes and (2) assets held by trustees under
indenture agreements. Assets whose use is limited that are required for
obligations classified as current liabilities are reported in current assets.
 
INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
 
    The Hospital adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities (FAS 115) as of September 30, 1994. The Hospital's investment
strategy is oriented toward maximizing yield rather than to retain investments
to maturity. As a result, the Hospital classified its investment portfolio as
available-for-sale. Also, excluding assets whose use is limited, investments
have been classified as current assets in the accompanying financial statements.
 
    Donated investment securities are recorded at fair value at the date of
receipt, which is then treated as cost. A decline in the market value of any
investment below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary is charged to
earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis.
 
    Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities (including
those classified as current assets) are excluded from earnings and reported as a
net amount in a separate component of fund balance until realized. Interest
income, including amortization of the premium and discount arising at
acquisition, is recognized when earned. Realized gains or losses are included in
earnings. The specific identification method of determining cost is used to
calculate realized gain or loss. Investment income, including gains and losses,
is reported as nonoperating gains in the accompanying statements of revenue and
expenses.
 
    The Hospital invests available funds in accordance with the Public Funds
Investment Act of 1987, as amended. Investment securities are held by the trust
departments of Boatmen's First National Bank of Amarillo, Amarillo National Bank
and First Bank Southwest in the trustees' names. Accordingly, investment
securities are classified in risk category 3 under criteria established by the
GASB for both years.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment donated
for Hospital operations are recorded at fair value at date of receipt.
 
    Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the properties. Equipment under capital leases is amortized on
the straight-line method over the lesser of

the lease term or the estimated useful life of the equipment. Amortization is
included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying financial
statements.
 
INTEREST CAPITALIZATION
 
    Interest cost incurred on borrowed funds during the period of construction
of capital assets is capitalized as a component of the cost of acquiring those
assets.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    The District, as a political subdivision of the State of Texas, is exempt
from federal taxation. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service has noted that
the Hospital is a not-for-profit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and is exempt from federal income taxes
on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code.

NOTE 1--NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE
 
    The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established rates.
Contractual adjustments under third-party reimbursement programs represent the
difference between the Hospital's established rates for services and amounts
reimbursed by third-party payors. A summary of the basis of reimbursement with
major third-party payors follows:
 
    . Medicare. Inpatient acute medical and surgical care services rendered to
Medicare program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates per
discharge. These rates vary according to a patient classification system that is
based on clinical, diagnostic, and other factors. Inpatient psychiatric and
behavioral health care services, certain outpatient services, and medical
education costs related to Medicare beneficiaries are paid based on a cost
reimbursement methodology. Certain other services are paid on fee screen and
ambulatory service center rates. Defined capital costs, previously paid based on
a cost reimbursement methodology, are now paid prospectively. The Hospital is
reimbursed for cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final settlement
determined after submission of annual cost reports by the Hospital and audits
thereof by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. The Hospital's classification of
patients under the Medicare program and the appropriateness of their admission
are subject to an independent review by a peer review organization under
contract with the Hospital. The Hospital's Medicare cost reports have been
audited by the Medicare fiscal intermediary through September 30, 1993. However,
the 1990 cost report has been reopened during fiscal 1995 to include additional
Medicaid days in the disproportionate share computation.
 
    . Medicaid. Inpatient acute care services rendered to Medicaid program
beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates per discharge according
to a patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic and
other factors. Outpatient services are reimbursed based upon a cost
reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed at a tentative rate with
final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the
Hospital and audits by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary. The Hospital has
received notice of program reimbursement based on desk reviews of cost reports
filed through September 30, 1990.
 
    . Other. The Hospital has also entered into reimbursement agreements with
certain insurance carriers, including Blue Cross, health maintenance
organizations, and preferred provider organizations. The basis for reimbursement
under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per discharge,
discounts from established charges, and prospectively determined daily rates.

NOTE 2--CHARITY CARE AND MEDICAID DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE FUNDING
 
    The primary purpose for the establishment of the District is to own and
operate a hospital or hospital system for indigent and needy persons within the
District. In striving to achieve its primary purpose, the Hospital provides a
significant level of charity care services, educational programs and other
activities designed to further promote the health status of the community. Due
to escalating costs, the Hospital continually explores more cost-effective
methods of service delivery.
 
    The Hospital has developed a community-oriented primary care system of
comprehensive health care services for the community. The Hospital focuses
particular attention on a definable group of people in need of improved access
to the delivery system, regardless of ability to pay.
 
    The Hospital provides care for all patients seeking services, regardless of
their ability to pay. Many of these patients are qualified as financially or
medically indigent according to guidelines established by the Hospital. Hospital
personnel conduct eligibility screening on persons presenting for services who
are unable to pay for such services. The following information illustrates the
total estimated cost of these services for the years ended September 30, 1994
and 1995:

</TABLE>
 
    The costs of these services are offset by Medicare and Medicaid
Disproportionate Share Programs, ad valorem taxes and state and federal grant
funds.
 
    The Indigent Health Care and Treatment Act, passed by the 69th Texas
Legislature in 1985, first apportioned funds to the Texas Department of Human
Services to provide assistance to hospitals providing a disproportionate share
of inpatient indigent health care. In 1991, the State of Texas created a
mechanism whereby a tax on a selected hospital provider group would be used to
generate additional federal matching funds. Hospitals participating in the Texas
Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program that meet the conditions of participation
and that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients are eligible for
additional reimbursement from the disproportionate share hospital fund. State
law is the basis for identifying eligible hospitals and for distribution of
disproportionate share funds. State and federal law offer considerable
flexibility to recipient hospitals regarding specific use of the funds. However,
there are direct and implied expectations regarding the use of these funds. The
intended focus is to benefit the health care needs of the medically and
financially indigent. The Hospital received approximately $12,194,000 and
$12,772,000 in the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively, under
the State's Disproportionate Share program that became effective September 1,
1993.

    The Hospital's cash deposits are insured up to $100,000 by the FDIC and the
excess is secured by pledged securities held by the applicable financial
institution. Cash deposits in excess of $100,000,

amount paid through the Management Incentive Compensation Plan (MICP). Employees
participating in the MICP were those determined to have a significant bearing on
the successful operations of the Hospital. The amounts paid under the MICP (the
at-risk amount) were based upon achievement of performance-based goals and
objectives. Incentive performance levels, approved by the Board of Managers,
were established and communicated to participants prior to the beginning of each
fiscal year. Costs recognized in 1994 in connection with the MICP were
approximately $623,000. The liability for incentive awards was included in
accrued expenses in the accompanying 1994 balance sheet. The MICP was
discontinued beginning with fiscal year 1995.
 
NOTE 10--PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
 
PLAN DESCRIPTION
 
    In 1995, the Board approved resolutions to amend the Retirement Plan and
Trust for Employees of Amarillo Hospital District effective October 1, 1994
which changed the name of the Plan to the "Retirement Plan for Employees of
Northwest Texas Healthcare System."
 
    Substantially all full-time employees of the Hospital are eligible for
participation in the Plan, a single-employer, defined benefit retirement plan.
The Plan provides early, normal (age 65), and late retirement benefits based on
the employee's years of service, average compensation, and social security
benefits at retirement or termination of service. In addition, the Plan provides
vested benefits after five years of service and preretirement death and
disability benefits. Employees are not permitted to make contributions to the
Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Managers of the District. The
Plan is a component unit (presented as a Fiduciary Fund) of the District's
financial reporting entity and its operations are not reported in these
financial statements. Complete financial statements for the Plan may be obtained
at the Hospital's administrative offices at 1501 Coulter, Amarillo, Texas 79106.
At October 1, 1994 and 1995, the valuation dates, Plan membership consisted of
the following:
 
                                                               1994     1995

  Fully vested..............................................     605      597
  Nonvested.................................................     564      579

    Full-time employees are eligible for participation in the Plan after
completing one year of service and upon attainment of age 25. Participants vest
100% upon completion of five years of service. Vested participants are entitled
to monthly benefits beginning at the normal retirement age of 65 equal to a
percentage of compensation earned. Reduced benefits are available upon early
retirement with 20 years of service or at age 55 with ten or more years of
participation. Benefits are generally payable in monthly installments, lump sum
distribution or a combination thereof.

NOTE 10--PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM--(CONTINUED)
    Pension provisions include death and disability benefits whereby a vested
disabled employee or surviving spouse of a vested employee is entitled to
receive monthly benefits (on a ten years certain and life thereafter basis)
derived from the greater of (a) the present value amount of the participant's
deferred monthly retirement income commencing at normal retirement date as
defined in the Plan accrued to the date of death or (b) an amount equal to 24
times the monthly salary on the date of death. Participants who become totally
disabled receive monthly disability benefits equal to 50% of monthly salary
reduced by 64% of the monthly disability benefit received from Social Security.
Disability benefits are paid until normal retirement age, at which time disabled
participants begin receiving normal retirement benefits computed as though they
had been employed to normal retirement age with their monthly compensation
remaining the same as at the time they became disabled.
 
    The pension benefit obligation shown below is a standardized disclosure
measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of
projected salary increases and plan step-rate benefits, estimated to be payable
in the future as a result of employee service to date. The measure is intended
to help users assess the funding status of the Plan on a going-concern basis,
assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due,
and make comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present value
of credited projected benefits and is independent of the funding method used to
determine contributions to the Plan.
 
    Actuarial valuations were performed as of October 1, 1994 and 1995 to
determine the pension benefit obligation and contribution requirements for the
subsequent fiscal year. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuations
include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of
8% compounded annually and (b) projected salary increases of 5% compounded
annually.
 
    The unfunded pension benefit obligation applicable to covered employees as
of October 1, 1994 and 1995 follow:

NOTE 11--AFFILIATION WITH OTHER PARTIES
 
    The Hospital is a participant with St. Anthony's Hospital (a not-for-profit
organization) in an affiliation to operate Alliance Regional Health Plans, Inc.
(Alliance). Alliance, a not-for-profit corporation, was created for the purpose
of providing health care services in a cost-effective manner to community
residents and employers. Alliance is governed by a twelve-member board composed
of four appointees from the District and four appointees from St. Anthony's
Hospital. These appointees appoint the other four board members from the
community at large. Neither participant has an equity interest in Alliance.
Complete financial statements for Alliance can be obtained at the administrative
offices at 1500 Coulter, Suite 5, Amarillo, Texas 79106. (See also Note 13 for
subsequent event.)
 
NOTE 12--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
SELF INSURANCE ARRANGEMENTS
 
    The Hospital is involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of
business. Claims alleging malpractice have been asserted against the Hospital
and are currently in various stages of litigation. The Hospital may be liable
for settlement of claims up to a limit of $100,000 per person in accordance with
the limited liability provisions of the Texas Tort Claims Act.
 
    The Hospital self-insures for claims arising from professional malpractice
and maintains board-designated assets to provide for such losses.
 
    The Hospital self-insures health benefits for employees and eligible
dependents and maintains board-designated assets to provide for such losses.
Additionally, the Hospital has stop-loss reinsurance that limits the Hospital's
liability to approximately $9,115,000 in aggregate per year and $250,000 per
individual per year.
 
    The Hospital provides self-funded workers' compensation benefits for any
employee injured or disabled on the job and maintains board-designated assets to
provide for such losses. Excess indemnity insurance purchased from an
independent third-party insurer limits the Hospital's liability to $500,000 per
occurrence. The Hospital used a third-party to administer workers' compensation
claims until September 30, 1993. On October 1, 1993, the Hospital began
administering workers' compensation claims internally.
 
    It is the opinion of management that estimated self-insurance costs,
including known claims and reserves for incurred but not reported claims, are
adequate to provide for potential claims.
 
PROPOSED SALE OF HOSPITAL
 
    On September 26, 1995, the Board of Managers of the District (the Board)
signed a nonbinding letter of intent to sell the Hospital to Universal Health
Services, Inc. (UHS), a hospital management company based in King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania. The transaction was contingent upon completion of due diligence
procedures, negotiation of specific terms and approval by the Board and by the
Amarillo City Commission, UHS's board of directors and various regulatory
agencies. (See Note 13 below.)

NOTE 13--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
    During April 1996, St. Anthony's Hospital's interest in Alliance was
terminated.
 
    On May 7, 1996, the sale of the Hospital to UHS was completed.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
    a post-effective amendment of this registration statement:
 
           (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
       Securities Act of 1933;
 
           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
       the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
       post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
       aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
       the registration statement; Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
       or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
       securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
       deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
       range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
       Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
       volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
       aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
       Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
 
           (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
       distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement of
       any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
    Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
 
        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
    to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
        (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
    any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
    termination of the offering.
 
    (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
    (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
 
    (d) The undersigned hereby undertakes that:
 
        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
    of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
    form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
    or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
    registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
    prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
    the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

  As Representatives of the Several Underwriters 
c/o  SMITH BARNEY INC.
      388 Greenwich Street
      New York, New York 10013

Dear Sirs:

      Universal Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to issue and sell an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares (the "Firm Shares")
of its Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to
the several Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriters"), and
Alan B. Miller (the "Selling Stockholder") proposes to sell an aggregate of
400,000 shares of Common Stock.  In addition, solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, the Company proposes to sell to the Underwriters, upon the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, up to an additional 660,000
shares (the "Additional Shares") of Common Stock.  The Firm Shares and the
Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shares."  The
Company and the Selling Stockholders are hereinafter sometimes referred to as
the "Sellers."  

      The Company and the Selling Stockholders wish to confirm as follows their
agreement with you (the "Representatives") and the other several Underwriters on
whose behalf you are acting, in connection with the several purchases of the
Shares by the Underwriters. 

   1. Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company has prepared and filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Act"), a
registration statement on Form S-3 under the Act (the 



<PAGE>



"registration statement"), including a prospectus subject to completion,
relating to the Shares.  The term "Registration Statement" as used in this
Agreement means the registration statement (including all financial schedules
and exhibits) as amended at the time it becomes effective or, if the
registration statement became effective prior to the execution of this
Agreement, as supplemented or amended prior to the execution of this Agreement. 
If it is contemplated, at the time this Agreement is executed, that a post-
effective amendment to the registration statement will be filed and must be
declared effective before the offering of the Shares may commence, the term
"Registration Statement" as used in this Agreement means the registration
statement as amended by said post-effective amendment.  If an abbreviated
registration statement is prepared and filed with the Commission in accordance
with Rule 462(b) under the Act (an "Abbreviated Registration Statement"), the
term "Registration Statement" as used in this Agreement includes the Abbreviated
Registration Statement.  The term "Prospectus" as used in this Agreement means
the prospectus in the form included in the Registration Statement, or, if the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement omits information in reliance
on Rule 430A under the Act and such information is included in a prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, the term
"Prospectus" as used in this Agreement means the prospectus in the form included
in the Registration Statement as supplemented by the addition of the Rule 430A
information contained in the prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b).  The term "Prepricing Prospectus" as used in this Agreement means
the prospectus subject to completion in the form included in the registration
statement at the time of the initial filing of the registration statement with
the Commission, and as such prospectus shall have been amended from time to time
prior to the date of the Prospectus.  Any reference herein to the registration
statement, the Registration Statement, any Prepricing Prospectus or the
Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by
reference therein pursuant to Form S-3 under the Act, as of the date of the
registration statement, the Registration Statement, such Prepricing Prospectus
or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to any amendment or
supplement to the registration statement, the Registration Statement, any
Prepricing Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include
any documents filed after such date under the Securities Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the "Exchange Act") and so incorporated by reference.  As used
herein, the term "Incorporated Documents" means the documents which at the time
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, the Registration
Statement, any Prepricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto.  

   2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase.  Subject to such adjustments as you may
determine in order to avoid fractional shares, the Company hereby agrees,
subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein, to issue and sell to
each Underwriter and, upon the basis of the representations, warranties and
agreements of the Sellers herein contained and subject to all the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly,
to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $      per share (the
"purchase price per share"), the number of Firm Shares which bears the same
proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be issued and sold by the
Company as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such
Underwriter in Schedule I hereto (or such number of Firm Shares increased as set
forth in Section 12 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be
sold by the Sellers.

      Subject to such adjustments as you may determine in order to avoid
fractional shares, the Selling Shareholder agrees, subject to all the terms and
conditions set forth herein, to sell to each Underwriter and, upon the basis of
the representations, warranties and agreements of the 



                                        2



<PAGE>



Sellers herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Underwriter agrees to purchase from the Selling Shareholder at the
purchase price per share that number of Firm Shares which bears the same
proportion to the number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder as
the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in
Schedule I hereto (or such number of Firm Shares increased as set forth in
Section 12 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be sold by
the Sellers.

      The Company also agrees, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth
herein, to sell to the Underwriters, and, upon the basis of the representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and subject to all the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters shall have the right to
purchase from the Company, at the purchase price per share, pursuant to an
option (the "over-allotment option") which may be exercised at any time and from
time to time prior to 9:00 P.M., New York City time, on the 30th day after the
date of the Prospectus (or, if such 30th day shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a
holiday, on the next business day thereafter when the New York Stock Exchange is
open for trading), up to an aggregate of 660,000 Additional Shares.  The
Additional Shares may be purchased solely to cover over-allotments, if any,
incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the offer and sale of the
Shares.  Upon any exercise of the over-allotment option, each Underwriter,
severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company the number of
Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments as you may determine in order to
avoid fractional shares) which bears the same proportion to the number of
Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters as the number of Firm
Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto (or
such number of Firm Shares increased as set forth in Section 12 hereof) bears to
the aggregate number of Firm Shares.

      Certificates in transferable form for the Shares that the Selling
Stockholder agrees to sell pursuant to this Agreement have been placed in
custody with ________________ (the "Custodian") for delivery under this
Agreement pursuant to a Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney (the "Custody
Agreement") executed by the Selling Stockholder appointing
_________________________ as agents and attorneys-in-fact (the "Attorneys-in-
Fact").  The Selling Stockholder agrees that (i) the Shares represented by the
certificates held in custody pursuant to the Custody Agreement are subject to
the interests of the Underwriters and the Company, (ii) the arrangements made by
the Selling Stockholder for such custody are, except as specifically provided in
the Custody Agreement, irrevocable and (iii) the obligations of the Selling
Stockholder hereunder and under the Custody Agreement shall not be terminated by
any act of the Selling Stockholder or by operation of law, whether by the death
or incapacity of the Selling Stockholder or the occurrence of any other event. 
If the Selling Stockholder shall die or be incapacitated or if any other event
shall occur before the delivery of the Shares hereunder, certificates for the
Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder shall be delivered to the
Underwriters by the Attorneys-in-Fact in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Custody Agreement as if such death or
incapacity or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the
Attorneys-in-Fact or any Underwriter shall have received notice of such death,
incapacity or other event.  Each Attorney-in-Fact represents that he is
authorized, on behalf of the Selling Stockholder, to execute this Agreement and
any other documents necessary or desirable in connection with the Custody
Agreement and the sale of the Shares to be sold hereunder by the Selling
Stockholder, to make delivery of the certificates for such Shares, to receive
the proceeds of the sale of such Shares, to give receipts for such proceeds, to
pay therefrom any expenses to be borne by the Selling Stockholder in connection
with the sale and public offering of such Shares, to distribute the balance
thereof to the Selling Stockholder, 



                                        3



<PAGE>



and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Attorney-in-Fact
agrees to perform his duties under the Custody Agreement.

   3. Terms of Public Offering.  The Company has been advised by you that the
Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of
the Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have
become effective as in your judgment is advisable and initially to offer the
Shares upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. 

   4. Delivery of the Shares and Payment Therefor.  Delivery to the Underwriters
of and payment for the Firm Shares shall be made at the office of Smith Barney
Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, at 10:00 A.M., New York
City time, on           , 1996 (the "Closing Date").  The place of closing for
the Firm Shares and the Closing Date may be varied by agreement between you and
the Company. 

      Delivery to the Underwriters of and payment for any Additional Shares to
be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the aforementioned office of
Smith Barney Inc. at such time on such date (the "Option Closing Date"), which
may be the same as the Closing Date but shall in no event be earlier than the
Closing Date nor earlier than two nor later than ten business days after the
giving of the notice hereinafter referred to, as shall be specified in a written
notice from you on behalf of the Underwriters to the Company and the Attorneys-
in-Fact of the Underwriters' determination to purchase a number, specified in
such notice, of Additional Shares.  The place of closing for any Additional
Shares and the Option Closing Date for such Shares may be varied by agreement
between you and the Company.

      Certificates for the Firm Shares and for any Additional Shares to be
purchased hereunder shall be registered in such names and in such denominations
as you shall request by written notice, it being understood that a facsimile
transmission shall be deemed written notice, prior to 9:30 A.M., New York City

Closing Date, as the case may be.  Such certificates shall be made available to
you in New York City for inspection and packaging not later than 9:30 A.M., New
York City time, on the business day next preceding the Closing Date or the
Option Closing Date, as the case may be.  The certificates evidencing the Firm
Shares and any Additional Shares to be purchased hereunder shall be delivered to
you on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, against
payment of the purchase price therefor by certified or official bank check or
checks payable in immediately available funds to the order of the Company. 

   5. Agreements of the Company.  The Company agrees with the several
Underwriters as follows:

      (a)   If, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is
necessary for the registration statement or a post-effective amendment thereto
or any Abbreviated Registration Statement to be declared effective before the
offering of the Shares may commence, the Company will endeavor to cause the
Registration Statement or such post-effective amendment to become effective as
soon as possible and will advise you promptly and, if requested by you, will
confirm such advice in writing, when the Registration Statement or such
post-effective amendment has become effective. 



                                        4



<PAGE>



      (b)   The Company will advise you promptly and, if requested by you, will
confirm such advice in writing:  (i) of any request by the Commission for
amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, any Prepricing
Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for
such purpose; and (iii) within the period of time referred to in paragraph (f)
below, of any change in the Company's condition (financial or other), business,
prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations, or of the happening
of any event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented)
untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in
order to state a material fact required by the Act or the regulations thereunder
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then
amended or supplemented) to comply with the Act or any other law.  If at any
time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement, the Company will make every reasonable effort to
obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time. 

      (c)   The Company will furnish to you, without charge, six signed copies
of the registration statement as originally filed with the Commission and of
each amendment thereto, including financial statements and all exhibits to the
registration statement and will also furnish to you, without charge, such number
of conformed copies of the registration statement as originally filed and of
each amendment thereto, but without exhibits, as you may request.

      (d)   The Company will not (i) file any amendment to the Registration
Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus of which you
shall not previously have been advised or to which you shall object after being
so advised or (ii) so long as, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, a
prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with sales by any
Underwriter or dealer, file any information, documents or reports pursuant to
the Exchange Act, without delivering a copy of such information, documents or
reports to you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, prior to or concurrently
with such filing.
  
      (e)   Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company
has delivered or will deliver to you, without charge, in such quantities as you
have requested or may hereafter request, copies of each form of the Prepricing
Prospectus.  The Company consents to the use, in accordance with the provisions
of the Act and with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in
which the Shares are offered by the several Underwriters and by dealers, prior
to the date of the Prospectus, of each Prepricing Prospectus so furnished by the
Company. 

      (f)   As soon after the execution and delivery of this Agreement as
possible and thereafter from time to time for such period as in the opinion of
counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered
in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, the Company will
expeditiously deliver to each Underwriter and each dealer, without charge, as
many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) as
you may request.  The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any
amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Act
and with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the
Shares are offered by the several Underwriters and by all dealers to whom Shares
may be sold, both in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and for
such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Act to be 



                                        5



<PAGE>



delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer.  If during such
period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company or in
the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters is required to be set forth in the
Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or should be set forth therein in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or
amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act or any other law, the Company will
forthwith prepare and, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) above, file
with the Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto and will
expeditiously furnish copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers in such
quantities as you shall request.  In the event that the Company and you, as
Representatives of the several Underwriters, agree that the Prospectus should be
amended or supplemented, the Company, if requested by you, will promptly issue a
press release announcing or disclosing the matters to be covered by the proposed
amendment or supplement.  

      (g)   The Company will cooperate with you and with counsel for the
Underwriters in connection with the registration or qualification of the Shares
for offering and sale by the several Underwriters and by dealers under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you may designate and will
file such consents to service of process or other documents necessary or
appropriate in order to effect such registration or qualification; provided that
in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would
subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the
offering or sale of the Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
subject. 

      (h)   The Company will make generally available to its security holders a
consolidated earnings statement, which need not be audited, covering a
twelve-month period commencing after the effective date of the Registration
Statement and ending not later than 15 months thereafter, as soon as practicable
after the end of such period, which consolidated earnings statement shall
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

      (i)   During the period of five years hereafter, the Company will furnish
to you (i) as soon as available, a copy of each report of the Company mailed to
stockholders or filed with the Commission, and (ii) from time to time such other
information concerning the Company as you may reasonably request.

      (j)   If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be terminated after
execution pursuant to any provisions hereof (otherwise than pursuant to the
second paragraph of Section 12 hereof or by notice given by you terminating this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12 or Section 13 hereof) or if this Agreement
shall be terminated by the Underwriters because of any failure or refusal on the
part of the Company to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the conditions of
this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Representatives for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel for the
Underwriters) incurred by you in connection herewith. 

      (k)   The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares
substantially in accordance with the description set forth in the Prospectus. 

      (l)   If Rule 430A of the Act is employed, the Company will timely file
the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and will advise you of the
time and manner of such filing.

      (m)   Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company will not sell,
offer to sell, contract to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common
Stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock), or grant any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, for a
period of ___ days after the date of the Prospectus without the prior written
consent of Smith Barney Inc.

facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

      (p)   The Company will use its best efforts to have the Shares listed,
subject to notice of issuance, on the New York Stock Exchange prior to or
concurrently with the effectiveness of the registration statement.

   6. Agreements of the Selling Stockholder.  The Selling Stockholder agrees
with the several Underwriters as follows:

      (a)   Such Selling Stockholder will cooperate to the extent necessary to
cause the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto to
become effective at the earliest possible time.

      (b)   Such Selling Stockholder will pay all Federal and other taxes, if

Stockholder to the Underwriters.

      (c)   Such Selling Stockholder will do or perform all things reasonably

Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement.

      (d)   Such Selling Stockholder will not offer, sell, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option to purchase, any shares of Common

consent of Smith Barney Inc. for a period of ___ days after the date of the

      (f)   Such Selling Stockholder will advise you promptly, and if requested
by you, will confirm such advice in writing, within the period of time referred

business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations 



                                        7



<PAGE>



or any other information relating to the Company or relating to any matter
stated in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto that comes to
the attention of such Selling Stockholder that suggests that any statement of a
material fact made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then
amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented) is or may be untrue in any
material respect or that the Registration Statement or Prospectus (as then
amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented) omits or may omit to state

   7. Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents and
warrants to each Underwriter that:

      (a)   Each Prepricing Prospectus included as part of the registration
statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment or supplement thereto,

material respects with the provisions of the Act.  The Commission has not issued
any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prepricing Prospectus. 

      (b)   The registration statement in the form in which it became or becomes

material respects with the provisions of the Act and did not or will not at any
such times contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except that this representation and warranty does not
apply to statements in or omissions from the registration statement or the
Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to
any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of any
Underwriter through you expressly for use therein. 

      (c)   All the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been

the Prospectus, and is duly registered and qualified to conduct its business and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the nature of its

a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or other), business,

Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse
Effect"). 

      (e)  All the Company's subsidiaries (as defined in the Act), are listed in

outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries have been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and are wholly-
owned by the Company directly or indirectly through one of the other
Subsidiaries, free and clear of any lien, adverse claim, security interest,
equity or other encumbrance, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

      (f)  There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries, or to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their
respective properties is subject, that are required to be described in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus but are not described as required. 
There are no agreements, contracts, indentures, leases or other instruments that
are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or
to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that are not described
or filed as required by the Act.  Neither the Company nor any of the
Subsidiaries is involved in any strike, job action or labor dispute, and to the
Company's best knowledge no such action or dispute is threatened.

      (g)  Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is (i) in violation
of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational
documents, or of any law, ordinance, administrative or governmental rule or
regulation applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or of any decree
of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries, or (ii) in default in any material respect in the
performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond,
debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or in any material
agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of
the Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of their respective properties
may be bound. 

      (h)  Neither the issuance and sale of Shares by the Company, the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company nor the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby (i) requires
any consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or
filing with, any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental body, agency or official (except such as may be required for the
registration of the Shares under the Act and the Exchange Act, all of which have
been or will be effected in accordance with this Agreement, and compliance with
the securities or Blue Sky laws of various

jurisdictions) or conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will
constitute a breach of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or
bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or (ii) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will
constitute a breach of, or a default under, any agreement, indenture, lease or
other instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or
by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties may be bound, violates or will violate any statute, law or
regulation, filing, judgment, injunction, order or decree applicable to the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or will
result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any
property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to the
terms of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may
be bound or to which any of the property or assets of it is subject.

      (i)  The accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Clifton,
Gunderson & Co. and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, who have certified or shall certify
the financial statements filed or to be filed as part of the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), are
independent public accountants as required by the Act.

      (j)  The financial statements, together with related schedules and notes
forming part of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment
or supplement thereto), comply with the requirements of the Act and present
fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company and the Subsidiaries on the
basis stated in the Registration Statement at the respective dates or for the
respective periods to which they apply; such statements and related schedules
and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as
disclosed therein; the pro forma financial information included in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement
thereto) has been prepared in accordance with the applicable published rules and
regulations of the Commission with respect to pro forma financial information
and the assumptions used in preparing such information are reasonable; and the
other financial and statistical information and data set forth in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement
thereto) are accurately presented and prepared on a basis consistent with such
financial statements and the books and records of the Company.

      (k)  The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under this Agreement.  The execution and delivery
of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement
have been duly and validly authorized by the Company.  This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and legally
binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution hereunder may be
limited by federal or state securities laws or principles of public policy and
subject to the qualification that the enforceability of the Company's
obligations hereunder may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

      (l)  Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), subsequent to the respective dates as
of which such information is given in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), neither the Company nor any
of the Subsidiaries has incurred any liability or obligation, direct or
contingent, or entered into any transaction that is material to the Company 



                                       10



<PAGE>



and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and there has not been any change in the
capital stock, or material increase in the short-term or long-term debt, of the
Company, or any material adverse change, or any development involving or which
may reasonably be expected to involve a prospective material adverse change, in
the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth
or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

      (m)  The Company and each of the Subsidiaries has good and marketable
title to all property (real and personal) described in the Prospectus as being
owned by it, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests or other
encumbrances, except such as are described in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, and all the property described in the Prospectus as being held under
lease by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is held by it under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases. 

      (n)  The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur of
the Closing Date and completion of the distribution of the Shares, will not
distribute any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the
Shares other than the Registration Statement, the Prepricing Prospectus, the
Prospectus or other materials, if any, permitted by the Act. 

      (o)  Each of the Company, the Subsidiaries and, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, the owners of the facilities managed by the Company or any
Subsidiary have such permits, licenses, franchises, certificates of need and
other approvals or authorizations ("Permits") of governmental or regulatory
authorities as are necessary, except to the extent the failure to have such
Permits would not have a Material Adverse Effect, to own, lease or operate their
respective properties and to conduct their respective businesses in the manner
described in the Prospectus, including, without limitation, such Permits as are
required (x) under such federal and state health care laws as are applicable to
the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective businesses and (y) with
respect to those facilities that are owned, leased or managed by the Company or
any Subsidiary that participate in Medicare and/or Medicaid, to receive
reimbursement thereunder, subject to such qualifications as may be set forth in
the Prospectus.  The Company, each of the Subsidiaries and, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, each of the owners of the facilities managed by the Company
or any Subsidiary have in all material respects fulfilled and performed all
their respective obligations with respect to the Permits, and no event has
occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation
or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights
of the holder of any such Permit, subject to such qualifications as may be set
forth in the Prospectus, which revocation, termination or impairment would have
a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as described in the Prospectus, none of the
Permits contain any restriction that is materially burdensome to the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries.  The Company's and each Subsidiary's business practices
do not violate any federal or state laws regarding physician ownership of (or
financial relationship with) and referral to entities providing healthcare
related goods or services, or laws requiring disclosure of financial interests
held by physicians in entities to which they may refer patients for the
provisions of health care related goods or services.

      (p)  The property, assets and operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries comply in all material respects with all applicable federal, state
and  local laws, rules, orders, decrees, judgments, injunctions, licenses,
permits or regulations relating to environmental matters (the "Environmental
Laws").  To the Company's best knowledge, none of the Company's nor any of the
Subsidiaries' property, assets or operations is the subject of any federal,
state or local 



                                       11



<PAGE>



investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a
release of any substance regulated by or form the basis of liability under any
Environmental Laws (a "Hazardous Material") into the environment.  Neither the
Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any notice or claim, nor are
there any pending or, to the Company's best knowledge, threatened or reasonably
anticipated lawsuits against it with respect to violations of an Environmental
Law or in connection with the release of any Hazardous Material into the
environment.  Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has any material
contingent liability in connection with any release of Hazardous Material into
the environment.

      (q)  The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as are customary in the businesses in which they are engaged; (ii) all
policies of insurance insuring the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full
force and effect; (iii) the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with
the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and (iv)
there are no claims by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under any such
policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or
defending under a reservation of rights clause.

      (r)  The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. 

      (s)  Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries nor, to the Company's
best knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
has made any payment of funds of the Company or received or retained any funds
in violation of any law, rule or regulation, which payment, receipt or retention
of funds is of a character required to be disclosed in the Prospectus. 

      (t)  The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, local
and foreign tax returns and tax forms required to be filed; such returns and
forms are complete and correct in all material respects; and all taxes shown by
such returns or otherwise assessed that are due or payable have been paid,
except such taxes as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate
reserves have been provided.  All payroll withholdings required to be made by
the Company with respect to employees have been made.  The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of any tax
liability for any year not finally determined are adequate to meet any
assessments or reassessments for additional taxes; and there have been no tax
deficiencies asserted and, to the best knowledge of the Company, no tax
deficiency might be reasonably asserted or threatened against the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries that could, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. 

      (u)  No holder of any security of the Company has any right (other than
rights validly waived) to require registration of shares of Common Stock or any
other security of the Company because of the filing of the registration
statement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and, except as disclosed in the Prospectus, no person has the 



                                       12



<PAGE>



right to require registration under the Act of any shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company.  No person has the right, contractual or
otherwise, to cause the Company to permit such person to underwrite the sale of
any of the Shares.  Except as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus,
there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights calling for the
issuance of, and there are no commitments, plans or arrangements to issue, any
shares of capital stock of the Company or any security convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries. 

      (v)  The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess all patents,
trademarks, trademark registrations, service marks, service mark registrations,
trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets and rights
described in the Prospectus as being owned by any of them or necessary for the
conduct of their respective businesses, and the Company is not infringing upon
the rights of any other person with respect to the foregoing.

      (w)  The Company has filed in a timely manner with the Commission each
document required to be filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act, each such
document at the time it was filed conformed in all material respects to the
requirements of the Exchange Act and none of such documents contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

      (x)  The Company is not, and, upon the sale of the Shares to be issued and
sold by it hereunder and application of the net proceeds from such sale as
described in the Prospectus under the caption "Use of Proceeds," will not be an
"investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

      (y)  The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all
provisions of Florida Statutes Sec.517.075 and the regulations thereunder, 
relating to issuers doing business with Cuba.

      (z)  Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Asset Purchase
Agreement by and among the Company, UHS of Pennsylvania, Inc., UHS of Delaware,
Inc., Wellington Regional Medical Center, Inc., First Hospital Corporation, FHC
Management Services, Inc., Health Services Management, Inc., Horsham Clinic,
Inc., Centre Valley Management, Inc., Clarion FHC, Inc., Westcare, Inc. and
First Hospital Corporation of Florida dated April 19, 1996 (the "First Hospital
Acquisition Agreement") by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated thereby (i) requires or required any consent,
approval, authorization or other order of, or registration with, any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body, agency or
official (except such as have been obtained by the Company or the Subsidiaries
in a timely fashion) or conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with or
constituted, constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default under the
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational
documents of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or (ii) conflicted,
conflicts or will conflict with or constituted, constitutes or will constitute a
breach of, or a default under, any agreement, indenture, lease or other
instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by
which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound, or
violates or will violate any statute, law, regulation or filing or judgment,
injunction, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
or any of their respective properties, or will result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or incumbrance upon any property or assets of the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant 



                                       13



<PAGE>



to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or
by which any of them may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of
any of them is subject.

   8. Representations and Warranties of the Selling Stockholder.  The Selling
Stockholder represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

      (a)   Such Selling Stockholder now has, and on the Closing Date and any
Option Closing Date will have, valid and marketable title to the Shares to be
sold by such Selling Stockholder, free and clear of any lien, claim, security
interest or other encumbrance, including, without limitation, any restriction on
transfer or other defect in title.

      (b)   Such Selling Stockholder now has, and on the Closing Date will have,
full legal right, power and authorization, and any approval required by law
(except such as may be required under the Act or state securities or Blue Sky
laws governing the purchase and distribution of the Shares), to sell, assign,
transfer and deliver such Selling Stockholder's Shares in the manner provided in
this Agreement, and upon delivery of and payment for such Shares hereunder, the
several Underwriters will acquire valid and marketable title to such Shares,
free and clear of any lien, claim, security interest, or other encumbrance or
restriction on transfer or other defect in title.

      (c)   This Agreement and the Custody Agreement have been duly authorized,
and the Custody Agreement has been, and this Agreement, when executed and
delivered on behalf of such Selling Stockholder in accordance with the Custody
Agreement, has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Selling
Stockholder and are the valid and binding agreements of such Selling Stockholder
enforceable against such Selling Stockholder in accordance with their respective
terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution hereunder may be limited
by federal or state securities laws or principles of public policy and except as
enforcement hereof and thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent
conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

      (d)   Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Custody
Agreement by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder nor the consummation of
the transactions herein or therein contemplated by or on behalf of such Selling
Stockholder requires any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing
or registration with, any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental body, agency or official (except such as may be required under the
Act or state securities or Blue Sky laws governing the purchase and distribution
of the Shares) or conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will
constitute a breach of, or default under, or violates or will violate, any
agreement, indenture or other instrument to which such Selling Stockholder is a
party or by which such Selling Stockholder is or may be bound or to which any of
such Selling Stockholder's property or assets is subject, or any statute, law,
rule, regulation, ruling, judgement, injunction, order or decree applicable to
such Selling Stockholder or to any property or assets of such Selling
Stockholder, except in each case as would not adversely affect the ability of
such Selling Stockholder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

      (e)   Such Selling Stockholder has reviewed the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus.  The Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and the
Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact 



                                       14



<PAGE>



or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

      (f)   The representations and warranties of such Selling Stockholder in
the Custody Agreement are, and on the Closing Date will be, true and correct.

      (g)   Such Selling Stockholder has not taken, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in
stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the
sale or resale of the Shares, except for the lock-up arrangements described in
the Prospectus.

   9. Indemnification and Contribution.  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each of you and each other Underwriter and each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation)
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Prepricing Prospectus or in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or
arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or
omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information
relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf
of any Underwriter through you expressly for use in connection therewith;
provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this paragraph (a) with
respect to any Prepricing Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any
Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter) on
account of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising from the
sale of Shares by such Underwriter to any person if (i) a copy of the Prospectus
shall not have been delivered or sent to such person within the time required by
the Act and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact contained in such Prepricing Prospectus was
corrected in the Prospectus and (ii) the Company has delivered the Prospectus to
the several Underwriters in requisite quantity on a timely basis to permit such
delivery or sending.  The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to
any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 

      (b)   If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Underwriter or such
controlling person shall promptly notify the Company, and the Company shall
assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of
all fees and expenses.  Such Underwriter or any such controlling person shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such controlling person
unless (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses,
(ii) the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or
(iii) the named parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both such Underwriter or such controlling person and
the Company and such Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been
advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the
Company by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of
professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has
been 



                                       15



<PAGE>



proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which
case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action,
suit or proceeding on behalf of such Underwriter or such controlling person). 
It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one
such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related
actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) at any time for all such Underwriters and controlling persons not
having actual or potential differing interests with you or among themselves,
which firm shall be designated in writing by Smith Barney Inc., and that all
such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  The Company
shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent,
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or
proceeding, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Underwriter
and any such controlling person, to the extent provided in the preceding
paragraph, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by
reason of such settlement or judgment.

      (c)   The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same
extent as the indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter set forth in
paragraph (a) above, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) below.  In
case any action or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Underwriter or
any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against
the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this paragraph (c) such Selling Stockholder
shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and each Underwriter and
any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the
Underwriters, under paragraph (b) above.  The foregoing indemnity agreement
shall be in addition to any liability which the Selling Stockholder may
otherwise have.

      (d)   Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement, any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the Selling Stockholder, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but
only with respect to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in
writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you expressly
for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prepricing
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.  If any action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against the Company, any of its directors, any such
officer, any such controlling person or the Selling Stockholder based on the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prepricing Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against any Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph (d), such Underwriter shall
have the rights and duties given to the Company by paragraph (b) above (except
that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof such Underwriter
shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at such Underwriter's expense), and the Company, its directors, any
such officer, any such controlling person and the Selling Stockholder shall have
the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by paragraph (b) above.  The
foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the
Underwriters may otherwise have. 



                                       16



<PAGE>



      (e)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable
to an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (c) or (d) hereof in respect of
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then
an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sellers on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the
Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as
the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by
the Sellers bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by
the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of
the Prospectus.  The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Sellers on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other hand
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

      (f)   The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by a pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above.  The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
any claim or defending any such action, suit or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Shares
underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriters' obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the
respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I
hereto (or such numbers of Firm Shares increased as set forth in Section 12
hereof) and not joint. 

      (g)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the total
liability of the Selling Stockholder for indemnification or contribution under
this Section 9 shall not exceed an amount equal to the number of Shares sold by
such Selling Stockholder hereunder multiplied by the purchase price per share
set forth in Section 2 hereof.

      (h)   No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
action, suit or proceeding in respect of 



                                       17

which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

      (i)   Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an
indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this
Section 9 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred.  The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the
representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling
any Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any person
controlling the Company or the Selling Stockholder, (ii) acceptance of any
Shares and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this
Agreement.  A successor to any Underwriter or any person controlling any
Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Company or the Selling Stockholder shall be entitled to the
benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained
in this Section 9.

   10.   Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations.  The several obligations of
the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares hereunder are subject to the
following conditions:

      (a)   If, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is
necessary for the registration statement or a post-effective amendment thereto
or an Abbreviated Registration Statement to be declared effective before the
offering of the Shares may commence, the registration statement or such
post-effective amendment or Abbreviated Registration Statement shall have become
effective not later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on the date hereof, or
at such later date and time as shall be consented to in writing by you, and all
filings, if any, required by Rules 424 and 430A under the Act shall have been
timely made. 

      (b)   Subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement, there shall not
have occurred (i) any change, or any development involving a prospective change,
in or affecting the condition (financial or other), business, prospects,
properties, net worth, or results of operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries not contemplated by the Prospectus, which in your opinion, as
Representatives of the several Underwriters, would materially, adversely affect
the market for the Shares, or (ii) any event or development relating to or
involving the Company and the Subsidiaries, or any officer or director of the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries, which makes any statement made in the
Prospectus untrue or which, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel or the
Underwriters and their counsel, requires the making of any addition to or change
in the Prospectus in order to state a material fact required by the Act or any
other law to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein not misleading, if amending or supplementing the Prospectus to reflect
such event or development would, in your opinion, as Representatives of the
several Underwriters, materially, adversely affect the market for the Shares.

      (c)   You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Fulbright
& Jaworski L.L.P., counsel for the Company, dated the Closing Date and addressed
to you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, that:

<PAGE>



   own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
   described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment
   or supplement thereto), and is duly registered and qualified to conduct its
   business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the
   nature of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such
   registration or qualification, except where the failure so to register or
   qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (ii)   The authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the
   Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and all the shares of capital
   stock of the Company outstanding prior to the issuance of the Shares have
   been duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
   free of statutory and contractual preemptive rights; 

    (iii)    The Shares to be issued and sold by the Company have been duly
   authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Underwriters against payment
   therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully
   paid and nonassessable and free of (A) any preemptive rights arising under
   the Company's certificate of incorporation or the Delaware General
   Corporation Law or (B) to the knowledge of such counsel, similar rights that
   entitle or will entitle any person to acquire any shares of capital stock of
   the Company upon the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company;

     (iv)   The form of certificate for the Shares conforms to the requirements
   of the Delaware General Corporation Law;

      (v)   The Registration Statement and all post-effective amendments, if

   before or contemplated by the Commission; and any required filing of the
   Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in accordance with Rule

   Agreement and to issue, sell and deliver to the Underwriters the Shares to be
   issued and sold by the Company as provided herein, and this Agreement has
   been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid,
   legal and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company
   in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of rights to indemnity
   and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws
   or principles of public policy and subject to the qualification that the
   enforceability of the Company's obligations hereunder may be limited by
   bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
   other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by
   general equitable principles;

    (vii)   To the knowledge of such counsel, neither the Company nor any of the
   Subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws,

   material obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond, debenture,
   note or other evidence of indebtedness made an exhibit to the Registration
   Statement or known to such counsel;

   (viii)   Neither the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares, the execution,
   delivery or performance of this Agreement, compliance by the Company with the
   provisions hereof nor 



                                       19



<PAGE>



   consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby conflicts
   or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a
   default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or other
   organizational documents, of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any
   agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any
   of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the
   Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties is bound that is an
   exhibit to the Registration Statement, or is known to such counsel after
   reasonable inquiry, or to the knowledge of such counsel will result in the
   creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property
   or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, nor will any such action
   result in any violation of any existing law, regulation, ruling (assuming
   compliance with all applicable state securities and Blue Sky laws), judgment,
   injunction, order or decree known to such counsel and applicable to the
   Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties;

     (ix)   No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or
   registration or filing with, any court, regulatory body, administrative
   agency or other governmental body, agency, or official is required on the
   part of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (except as have been obtained
   under the Act and the Exchange Act or such as may be required under state
   securities or Blue Sky laws governing the purchase and distribution of the
   Shares) for the valid issuance and sale of the Shares to the Underwriters as
   contemplated by this Agreement;

      (x)   The Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any supplements or
   amendments thereto (except for the financial statements and the notes thereto

   all material respects with the requirements of the Act;

     (xi)   To the knowledge of such counsel, (A) there are no legal or
   governmental proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or any of
   the Subsidiaries, or to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any
   of their respective properties is subject, which are required to be described
   in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
   thereto) that are not described as required and (B) there are no agreements,
   contracts, indentures, leases or other instruments that are required to be
   described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment
   or supplement thereto) or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
   Statement that are not described or filed as required, as the case may be;

    (xii)   The statements in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, insofar
   as they are descriptions of contracts, agreements or other legal documents,
   or refer to statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate in all
   material respects and present fairly the information required to be shown;

   (xiii)   The Company is not an "investment company" or a person "controlled"
   by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
   of 1940, as amended;

    (xiv)   Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the First Hospital
   Acquisition Agreement, compliance by the Company with the provisions thereof
   nor consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby
   conflicted, conflicts or will conflict 



                                       20



<PAGE>



   with or constituted, constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default
   under, the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational
   documents of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any agreement,
   indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of the
   Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective
   properties is bound that is an exhibit to the Registration Statement or is
   known to such counsel after reasonable inquiry (except where appropriate
   waivers or consents thereto have heretofore been obtained by the Company), or
   will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
   upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, nor
   will any such action result in any violation of any existing law, regulation,
   ruling, judgment, injunction, order or decree known to such counsel after
   reasonable inquiry, applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or
   any of their respective properties; and 

      (xv)  The Incorporated Documents (except for the financial statements and
   the notes thereto and the schedules and other financial and statistical data
   included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion)
   appear on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the
   Exchange Act.

      In addition, such counsel shall state that although such counsel has not
undertaken, except as otherwise indicated in their opinion, to determine
independently, and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the statements in the Registration Statement, such
counsel has participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus, including review and discussion of the contents thereof, and
nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that has caused it to believe
that the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement became
effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the state-
ments therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date and as of
the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in  light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that any amendment
or supplement to the Prospectus, as of its date, and as of the Closing Date or
any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained or contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such
counsel need express no opinion with respect to the financial statements and the
notes thereto and the schedules and other financial and statistical data
included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus).

      In rendering their opinion as aforesaid, counsel may rely upon an opinion
or opinions, each dated the Closing Date, of other counsel retained by them or
the Company as to laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or the
State of New York or the corporation law of the State of Delaware, provided that
(1) each such local counsel is acceptable to the Representatives, (2) such
reliance is expressly authorized by each opinion so relied upon and a copy of
each such opinion is delivered to the Representatives and is, in form and
substance, satisfactory to them and counsel for the Underwriters and (3) counsel
shall state in their opinion that they believe that they and the Underwriters
are justified in relying thereon.

Gilbert, Esq., General Counsel for the Company, dated the Closing Date and
addressed to you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, that:

      (i)   Each of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries are duly qualified
   or licensed by each jurisdiction in which they conduct their respective
   businesses and in which the failure, individually or in the aggregate, to be
   so licensed or qualified could have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
   Company and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified, and are in good standing, in
   each jurisdiction in which they own or lease real property or maintain an
   office and in which such qualification is necessary;

     (ii)   Each Subsidiary is a corporation duly incorporated and validly
   existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
   organization, with full corporate or partnership power and authority to own,
   lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in
   the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment or
   supplement thereto); and all the outstanding shares of capital stock of each
   of the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
   paid and nonassessable and are owned of record by the Company directly, or

   Registration Statement and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
   thereto);

    (iii)   To the best of such counsel's knowledge, none of the Subsidiaries is
   in violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, or
   partnership agreement, or is in breach of, or in default under (nor has any
   event occurred which with notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
   breach of, or default under), any license, indenture, mortgage, deed of
   trust, bank loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to
   which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of
   them or their respective properties may be bound or affected or under any
   law, regulation or rule or any decree, judgment or order applicable to the
   Company or its Subsidiaries;

     (iv)   To the knowledge of such counsel, neither the Company nor any of the
   Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, ordinance, administrative or
   governmental rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any such
   Subsidiary the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect, or of
   any decree of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
   over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries;

      (v)   The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have full corporate power
   and authority and such Permits as are necessary to own, lease and operate
   their respective properties and to conduct their respective businesses as are
   now being conducted as described in the Registration Statement or the
   Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including such Permits
   as are required (x) under such federal and state health care laws as are
   applicable to the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective
   businesses and (y) under such HMO or similar licensure laws and such
   insurance laws and regulations as are applicable to the Company and the
   Subsidiaries, except where the failure to have such Permits would not have a
   Material Adverse Effect; 

     (vi)   To the knowledge of such counsel, neither the Company nor any of the
   Subsidiaries is in violation of any healthcare law, ordinance, administrative
   or governmental 



                                       22



<PAGE>



   rule or regulation applicable to them, respectively,  or of any decree of any
   court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over them relating
   thereto, respectively, except where any such violation would not have a
   Material Adverse Effect; and, in the course of such counsel's representation
   of the Company or any Subsidiary, nothing has come to such counsel's
   attention to cause it to believe that the Company or any Subsidiary is in
   violation of any other law, ordinance, administrative or governmental rule or
   regulation applicable to it or of any decree of any court or governmental
   agency or body having jurisdiction over it, except where any such violation
   would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and

    (vii)   Except as described in the Prospectus, such counsel does not know of
   any holder of any securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any
   other person who has the right, contractual or otherwise, to cause the
   Company to sell or otherwise issue to them, or to permit them to underwrite
   the sale of, any of the Shares or the right to have any Common Stock or other
   securities of the Company included in the Registration Statement or the
   right, as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement, to require
   the Company to register under the Act any shares of Common Stock or other
   securities of the Company, and any registration rights in connection with the
   offering contemplated hereby have been validly waived.

   12.   Effective Date of Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective: 
(i) upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto; or (ii) if, at
the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is necessary for the
registration statement or a post-effective amendment thereto or an Abbreviated
Registration Statement to be declared or became effective before the offering of
the Shares may commence, when notification of the effectiveness of the
registration statement or such post-effective amendment has been released by the
Commission or such Abbreviated Registration Statement has, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 462 under the Act, become effective.  Until such time as this
Agreement shall have become effective, it may be terminated by the Company, by
notifying you, or by you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, by
notifying the Company. 

      If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Shares which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder, and the aggregate
number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number
of Shares which the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date,
each non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion
which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto
bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all
non-defaulting Underwriters or in such other proportion as you may specify in
accordance with Section 20 of the Master Agreement Among Underwriters of Smith
Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated (predecessor of Smith Barney Inc.), to
purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed,
but failed or refused, to purchase.  If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall
fail or refuse to purchase Shares which it or they are obligated to purchase on
the Closing Date and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such
default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares which
the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements
satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Shares by one or
more non-defaulting Underwriters or other party or parties approved by you and
the Company are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the
Company.  In any such case which does not result in termination of this
Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the
required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or
any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Any action taken under
this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in
respect of any such default of any such Underwriter under this Agreement.  The
term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement includes, for all purposes of this
Agreement, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, with your approval and
the approval of the Company, purchases Shares which a defaulting Underwriter
agreed, but failed or refused, to purchase.

      Any notice under this Section 12 may be given by telegram, telecopy or
telephone but shall be subsequently confirmed by letter. 

   13.   Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be subject to
termination in your absolute discretion, without liability on the part of any
Underwriter to the Company, by notice to the Company and the Attorneys-in-Fact,
if prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (if different from the
Closing Date and then only as to the Additional Shares), as the case may be,
(i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American
Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or
materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities
in New York shall have been declared by

either federal or state authorities, or (iii) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or domestic
calamity, crisis or change in political, financial or economic conditions, the
effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make
it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to commence or continue the
offering of the Shares at the offering price to the public set forth on the
cover page of the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the resale of the
Shares by the Underwriters.  Notice of such termination may be given by
telegram, telecopy or telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter. 

   14.   Information Furnished by the Underwriters.  The statements set forth in
the last paragraph on the cover page, the stabilization legend on the inside
front cover page and the statements in the first and third paragraphs under the

through you as such information is referred to in Sections 7(b) and 9 hereof.  

   15.   Miscellaneous.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5, 12 and 13
hereof, notice given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be in

Underwriters, the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and the controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof and, to
the extent provided herein, their respective successors and assigns, and no
other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement.  Neither the term "successor" nor the term "successors and assigns"
as used in this Agreement shall include a purchaser from any Underwriter of any
of the Shares in his status as such purchaser. 

   16.   Applicable Law; Counterparts.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.
