                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, 1997.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
financial statement presentation.

(2)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). Basic earnings per share are
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted 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 per share amounts for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 have been restated to conform to SFAS 128.

(3)  OTHER LIABILITIES

Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's
professional and general liability and workers' compensation reserves. Effective
January 1, 1998, the Company is covered under commercial insurance policies
which provide for a self-insured retention limit for professional and general
liability claims for most of its subsidiaries up to $1 million per occurrence,
with an average annual aggregate for covered subsidiaries of $4 million through
2001. These subsidiaries maintain excess coverage up to $100 million with major
insurance carriers. The Company's remaining facilities are fully insured under
commercial policies with excess coverage up to $100 million maintained with
major insurance carriers. During 1996 and 1997, most of the Company's
subsidiaries were self-insured for professional and general liability claims up
to $5 million per occurrence, with excess coverage maintained up to $100 million
with major insurance carriers.

(4)  COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an aggregate
of $54 million related principally to the Company's self-insurance programs and
as support for various debt instruments and loan guarantees, including a $40
million letter of credit related to the Company's 1997 acquisition of an 80%
interest in The George Washington University Hospital.

(5)  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting
for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related
results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company
must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting.

Statement 133 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. A company may also implement the Statement as of the beginning of
any fiscal quarter after the issuance. Statement 133 cannot be applied
retroactively. Statement 133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and
(b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were
issued, acquired, or substantially modified after December 31, 1997 (and at the
company's election, before January 1, 1998).

The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting Statement 133 on its
financial statements and has not determined the timing of or method of adoption
of Statement 133. However, the Statement could increase the volatility in
earnings and other comprehensive income.

         ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND
                               FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net revenues increased 38% or $131 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 37% or $254 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, over the
comparable prior year periods. The increase in net revenues during the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable 1997 periods
was due primarily to: (i) the acquisition of an 80% interest in a 501-bed acute
care facility during the third quarter of 1997, the opening of a newly
constructed 148-bed acute care facility which opened during the fourth quarter
of 1997 and the acquisition of three acute care facilities located in Puerto
Rico (one of which opened in April, 1998) and one acute care facility located in
Las Vegas which were acquired during the first quarter of 1998 ($110 million for
the three months ended June 30 and $199 million for the six months ended June
30), and; (ii) revenue growth at acute care and behavioral health care
facilities owned during both periods ($12 million for the three months ended
June 30 and $38 million for the six months ended June 30).

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease
rental expense (before deducting minority interests in earnings of consolidated
entities) ("EBITDAR") increased 33% or $20 million to $81 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $61 million during the three months
ended June 30, 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, EBITDAR increased
29% or $37 million to $164 million as compared to $128 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1997.

Overall operating margins were 17.0% and 17.7% for the three month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 and 17.5% and 18.6% for the six month periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in the Company's overall operating
margin during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
the comparable prior year periods was due primarily to lower operating margins
at three of the acute care facilities acquired within the last twelve months
(one located in Washington, DC and two located in Puerto Rico) and the opening
of three acute care facilities subsequent to the second quarter of 1997 (located
in Texas, Nevada and Puerto Rico). The lower operating margin experienced during
the second quarter of 1998 was partially due to a delay in Medicare
certification (not received until late May, 1998) at an acute care facility
located in Puerto Rico which was opened in April, 1998.

ACUTE CARE SERVICES
- -------------------

Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals, ambulatory treatment
centers and specialized women's health centers accounted for 86% and 84% of
consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and
87% and 84% of consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's acute care facilities
owned in both periods increased 3% and 5% during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior year periods due primarily to
an increase in admissions at these facilities. Inpatient admissions at these
facilities increased 4% and 5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 
1998, respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods. Despite
the increase in inpatient admissions, patient days at these facilities
decreased 2% during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and remained unchanged
during the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the comparable prior
year periods, due to a decrease in the average length of stay. The average
length of stay decreased 6% to 4.6 days during the three months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to 4.9 days during the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
decreased 5% to 4.7 days during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared
to 5.0 days during the six months ended June 30, 1997.


                          Page Eight of Fourteen Pages

<PAGE>   9

The decrease in the average length of stay at the Company's facilities was due
primarily to improvement in case management of Medicare and Medicaid patients
and an increasing shift of patients into managed care plans which generally have
lower lengths of stay. In addition to an increase in inpatient admissions, the
Company's outpatient activity continues to increase as gross outpatient revenues
at acute care facilities owned during both periods increased 12% for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable 1997 periods
and comprised 26% of the Company's acute care gross patient revenues for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

The increase in outpatient revenues is primarily the result of advances in
medical technologies and pharmaceutical improvements, which allow more services
to be provided on an outpatient basis, and increased pressure from Medicare,
Medicaid, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provided
organizations (PPOs) and insurers to reduce hospital stays and provide services,
where possible, on a less expensive outpatient basis. The hospital industry in
the United States as well as the Company's acute care facilities continue to
have significant unused capacity which has created substantial competition for
patients. Inpatient utilization continues to be negatively affected by
payor-required, pre-admission authorization and by payor pressure to maximize
outpatient and alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill
patients. The Company expects the increased competition, admission constraints
and payor pressures to continue.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
- --------------------------

Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health facilities accounted for 13%
and 16% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 and 13% and 15% of consolidated net revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's behavioral
health facilities owned in both periods increased 8% during the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior year
periods due primarily to an increase in inpatient admissions. Inpatient
admissions at these facilities increased 19% and 15% during the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the comparable
prior year periods. Patient days at the Company's behavioral health facilities
owned during both periods increased 10% and 8% during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the comparable prior
year periods. The average length of stay at the facilities owned in both periods
decreased 8% to 11.5 days during the three month period ended June 30, 1998 from
12.4 days in the comparable prior year period and decreased 6% to 11.3 days
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 12.0 days during the
comparable prior year period.

The continued reduction in the average length of stay is a result of changing
practices in the delivery of behavioral health services and continued cost
containment pressures from payors which includes a greater emphasis on the
utilization of outpatient services. Management of the Company has responded to
these trends by continuing to develop and market new outpatient treatment
programs. The shift to outpatient care is reflected in higher revenues from
outpatient services, as gross outpatient revenues at the Company's behavioral
health services facilities owned in both periods increased 20% and 15% during
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior
year periods and comprised 21% of behavioral health gross patient revenues for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 20% during
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997.

OTHER OPERATING RESULTS
- -----------------------

The Company recorded minority interest expense/(income) in earnings or (losses)
of consolidated entities amounting to $3.5 million and ($147,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and $5.3 million and ($529,000) for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The minority interest
expense recorded during the 1998 three and six month periods consists primarily

                           Page Nine of Fourteen Pages

<PAGE>   10

of the minority ownership's share of the net income of four acute care
facilities, three of which are located Las Vegas, Nevada and one located in
Washington, DC.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 33% or $6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 31% or $12 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior year periods, due primarily to the
1997 and 1998 acquisitions mentioned above and the opening of the newly
constructed acute care facilities during the third and fourth quarters of 1997.

Interest expense increased 32% or $2 million during the three month period ended
June 30, 1998 and 30% or $3 million during the six month period ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the comparable 1997 periods due primarily to the increased
borrowings used to partially finance the 1997 and 1998 acquisitions mentioned
above.

The effective tax rate was 35.4% and 36.1% for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, and 35.6% and 36.4% for the six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

GENERAL TRENDS
- --------------

An increased proportion of the Company's revenue is derived from fixed payment
services, including Medicare and Medicaid which accounted for 46% and 52% of the
Company's net patient revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
and 47% and 51% of the Company's net patient revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Medicare program reimburses the
Company's hospitals primarily based on established rates by a diagnosis related
group ("DRG") for acute care hospitals and by cost based formula for behavioral
health facilities. Historically, rates paid under Medicare's prospective payment
system ("PPS") for inpatient services have increased, however, these increases
have been less than cost increases. Pursuant to the terms of The Balanced Budget
Act of 1997 (the "1997 Act"), there will be no increases in the rates paid to
hospitals for inpatient care through September 30, 1998. The Company expects
that the modest rate increases that will take effect on October 1, 1998 will be
largely offset by the negative impact of converting reimbursement on skilled
nursing facility patients from a cost reimbursed to a prospective payment system
and from lower DRG payments on certain patient transfers as mandated by the 1997
Act. Reimbursement for bad debt expense and capital costs as well as other items
have been reduced. While the Company is unable to predict what, if any, future
health reform legislation may be enacted at the federal or state level, the
Company expects continuing pressure to limit expenditures by governmental
healthcare programs. Further changes in the Medicare or Medicaid programs and
other proposals to limit healthcare spending could have a material adverse
impact upon the Company and the healthcare industry.

In Texas, a law has been passed which mandates that the state 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 a waiver. Upon meeting certain conditions, and
serving a disproportionately high share of Texas' and South Carolina's low
income patients, three of the Company's facilities located in Texas and one
facility located in South Carolina became eligible and received additional
reimbursements from each state's disproportionate share hospital fund. Included
in the Company's financial results was an aggregate of $8.6 million and $8.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and $17.2 million and
$16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
received pursuant to the terms of these programs. These programs, which have
recently been renewed, are scheduled to terminate in the third quarter of 1999
and the Company cannot predict whether these programs will continue beyond their
scheduled termination date. In addition to the Medicare and Medicaid programs,
other payors continue to actively negotiate the amounts they will pay for
services performed. In general, the Company expects the


                           Page Ten of Fourteen Pages

<PAGE>   11

percentage of its business from managed care programs, including HMOs and PPOs
to grow. The consequent growth in managed care networks and the resulting impact
of these networks on the operating results of the Company's facilities vary
among the markets in which the Company operates.

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company's computer
programs, certain building infrastructure components (including elevators, alarm
systems and certain HVAC systems) and certain computer aided medical equipment
that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations or medical equipment
malfunctions that could affect patient diagnosis and treatment.

The Company has undertaken steps to identify areas of concern and potential
remedies, prioritize needs, estimate costs and begin work either to repair or
replace data processing software and hardware affected by Year 2000 issues. The
cost associated with addressing Year 2000 related problems is not expected to be
material. However, measurement of the costs has not been completed. The
solutions either involve replacement or repair of the affected software,
hardware and equipment. Some replacement or upgrade of systems and equipment
would take place in the normal course of business. Several systems, key to the
Company's operations, have been scheduled to be replaced through vendor supplied
systems before Year 2000. The costs of repairing existing systems is expensed as
incurred.

The Company presently believes that with modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose material
operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications
and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 issue
could have a material impact on the operations of the Company. Furthermore, the
Company has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and
large payors to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems
are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000
issues. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies
on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and would not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Net cash provided by operating activities was $78 million and $80 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The $2 million
decrease during the 1998 six month period as compared to the comparable prior
year period was primarily attributable to a $13 million increase in accounts
receivable (due primarily to the opening of three acute care facilities
subsequent to the second quarter of 1997) and $9 million of other unfavorable
net working capital changes partially offset by a $20 million increase in the
net income plus the addback of depreciation and amortization expense.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of three
acute care hospitals located in Puerto Rico for a combined purchase price of
$186 million which was financed with borrowings under the Company's revolving
credit facility. Also during the first quarter of 1998, the Company contributed
substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of Valley Hospital
Medical Center, a 417-bed acute care facility, and its newly-constructed
Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, a 148-bed acute care facility in exchange for
a 72.5% interest in a series of newly-formed limited liability companies
("LLCs"). Quorum Health Group, Inc. ("Quorum") holds the remaining 27.5%
interest in the LLCs. Quorum obtained its interest by contributing substantially
all of the assets, liabilities and operations of Desert Springs Hospital, a
241-bed acute care facility and $11 million of net cash to the LLCs. As a result
of this partial sale transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of
approximately $55 million (approximately $35 million after-tax) that was
recorded as a capital contribution to the Company in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51. The
Company does not expect this merger to have a material impact on its 1998
results of operations. Also during the first six months of 1998, the Company
spent

                          Page Eleven of Fourteen Pages

<PAGE>   12

approximately $44 million to finance capital expenditures at its existing
hospitals as compared to $67 million in the prior year six month period.
Included in the capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$38 million spent on the construction of a new acute care facility located in
Summerlin, Nevada and a new acute care facility located in Edinburg, Texas which
opened in the third and fourth quarters of 1997.

During the second quarter of 1998, the Company amended its revolving credit
agreement to increase the borrowing capacity to $400 million from $300 million.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $176 million of unused
borrowing capacity under the terms of its $400 million revolving credit
facility, as amended, which matures in July 2002 and no unused borrowing
capacity under the terms of its $75 million commercial paper credit facility.

The Company expects to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions with a
combination of internally generated funds and funds raised from outside sources.
Additional funds may be obtained either through refinancing the existing
revolving credit agreement, the commercial paper facility or the issuance of
securities.
