                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 -  Basis of Reporting

         The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and do not include
certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The balance sheet shown
in this report as of June 30, 1996 has been derived from, and does not include,
all the disclosures contained in the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. However, in the opinion of
the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the full fiscal year.

Note 2 -   Other Contingencies

         The Company has a $13,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw
to meet short-term liquidity requirements or for other purposes. This line
expires on June 30, 1997. Amounts drawn under the line are payable upon demand.
At both June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, there were no borrowings under the
line. However, the amount available under the line was reduced by approximately
$8,000,000 at June 30, 1996 and $8,200,000 at December 31, 1995 as a result of
outstanding irrevocable standby letters of credit, which relate primarily to
contingent payment obligations under the Company's insurance program.


Note 3  -  Provision for Estimated Cost Related to SEC Inquiry and Other Matters

         The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) conducted a non-public
investigation since 1990 with respect to certain matters, including the
Company's financial statements, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company cooperated fully with such inquiry on a voluntary basis. On March
21, 1996 the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that the SEC had accepted a
settlement which had been offered by the Company and recommended by the Staff
pertaining to certain allegations of violations of the Federal securities laws
by the Company and certain of its officers with respect to periods ended on or
before March 31, 1992. The settlement is subject to mutual agreement on the
final form of the Complaint and Consent to be filed in the United States

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>

District Court. Under the settlement, upon filing of the Complaint and the entry
of a final judgment upon Consent, and without admitting or denying any of the
allegations of the Complaint, the Company , two officers and a former officer,
will be permanently enjoined from violating certain provisions of the Federal
securities laws, and the Company and these individuals will be required to pay
civil penalties aggregating approximately $850,000. The estimated monetary
impact of this settlement plus related legal costs have been reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.

         In addition, on or about May 24, 1996 the United States Attorney for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania filed a civil action against the Company
and the aforementioned officers relating to certain payments ( approximately
$84,000 in 1988, $54,000 in 1989, $110,000 in 1990, $125,000 in 1991 and $34,000
in 1992 ) made by the Company to certain entities that were not in accordance
with Company policy or for a valid business purpose. This matter was previously
investigated and reported upon by the Company in its Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1991. Information regarding this matter was voluntarily
furnished to the U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey in May and November 1992
and such payments were recovered by the Company in November 1992.

         During 1995, the Company anticipated that it would incur a significant
amount of legal and related costs in connection with these matters. The Company
incurred approximately $950,000 of costs in 1995 and estimated that the
additional costs which may be incurred in connection with these matters will be
in a range of approximately $2,150,000 to $3,500,000 and accordingly accrued as
of December 31, 1995 the estimated low range of this liability. The result of
this $3,100,000 provision was to reduce 1995 net income by approximately
$2,321,000 or $.28 per common share.

PART I.

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

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues for the second quarter of 1996 increased by 11.5% over
revenues in the corresponding 1995 quarter. Revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 increased by 9.9% over the same 1995 period. The following factors
contributed to the increase in revenues: service agreements with new clients in
existing geographic areas increased 20.7 % for the second quarter and 19.7% for
the six month period; providing new services to existing clients increased
revenues 2.4% for the second quarter and 2.1% for the six month period; and
cancellations and other minor changes decreased revenues 11.6% for the second
quarter and 11.9% for the six month period.

         Cost of services provided as a percentage of revenues increased
slightly to 84.6% for the second quarter of 1996 from 84.2% in the corresponding
1995 quarter. In addition, cost of services provided as a percentage of revenue
increased slightly to 84.9% for the six month period ending June 30, 1996 from
84.4% in the same 1995 period. The primary factors affecting the variations in
the 1996 second quarter and six month periods' cost of services provided as a
percentage of revenue and their effects on the respective .4% and .5% increases
are as follows: in the second quarter an increase of 1.4% in workers'
compensation, general liability and other insurance costs; an increase of 1.0%
in the allowance for doubtful accounts and other reserves; and an increase of
 .6% in the cost of laundry and housekeeping supplies; and offsetting these
increases was a decrease in costs associated with service agreements canceled
 .6% ( see Note 1- Intangible Assets in Notes to Financial Statements at December
31, 1995) and a .5% decrease in depreciation expense; in the six month period an
increase of .9% in the allowance for doubtful accounts and other reserves and an
increase of .7% in the cost of laundry and housekeeping supplies; and offsetting
these increases was a decrease in costs associated with service agreements
canceled of 1.0% and a .3% decrease in depreciation expense.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
decreased to 8.1% for the second quarter of 1996 as compared to 9.1% in the
corresponding 1995 three month period. The six month period ending June 30, 1996
also recognized a decrease in SG &A expenses to 7.9% as a percentage of revenue
as compared to 8.6% in the corresponding 1995 period. The three and six month
decreases are primarily attributable to the Company's ability to control certain
selling, general and administrative expenses while comparing them to a greater
revenue base.

                                      - 7 -

         The Company presently anticipates that it will incur a significant
amount of additional legal and related costs in connection with the pending
governmental civil lawsuit and related investigations and pending settlement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly has established a
provision for this purpose ( see Note 3 - Provision for Estimated Cost Related
to SEC Inquiry and Other Matters ).


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1996 the Company had working capital of $55,413,022 which
represents a 9% increase over December 31, 1995 working capital of $51,067,973.
Working capital continues to grow primarily as a result of higher accounts
receivable attributable to the Company's 9.9% increase in revenues for the six
months ending June 30, 1996.

         The Company's current ratio at June 30, 1996 increased to 7.2 to 1
compared to 6.3 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

         The net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was
$2,465,085 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. The components of
working capital that required the largest amount of cash were: a $5,727,818
increase in accounts receivable and a $1,366,216 decrease in accounts payable
and other accrued expenses. The increase in accounts receivable resulted
primarily from the growth in the Company's revenues. The increased use of cash
associated with accounts payable and other accrued expenses resulted primarily
from the timing of payments to vendors.

         The Company expends considerable effort to collect the amounts due for
its services on the terms agreed upon with its clients. Many of the Company's
clients participate in programs funded by federal and state governmental
agencies which historically have encountered delays in making payments to its
program participants. Whenever possible, when a client falls behind in making
agreed-upon payments, the Company converts the unpaid accounts receivable to
interest bearing promissory notes receivable. The promissory notes receivable
provide a definitive repayment plan and therefore may enhance the ultimate
collectibility of the amounts due. In some instances the Company obtains a
security interest in certain of the debtors' assets.





                                      - 8 -

         The Company has a $13,000,000 bank line of credit on which it may draw
to meet short-term liquidity requirements or for other purposes. This line
expires on June 30, 1997. Amounts drawn under the line are payable on demand. At
June 30, 1996 there were no borrowings under the line. However, at such date,
the amount available under the line was reduced by approximately $8,000,000 as a
result of outstanding irrevocable standby letters of credit, which primarily
relate to contingent payment obligations under the Company's insurance program.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company had $17,082,.312 of cash and cash
equivalents, which it views as its principal measure of liquidity.

         The Company has no specific material commitments for capital
expenditures and believes that its cash from operations, existing balances and
available credit line will be adequate for the foreseeable future to satisfy the
needs of its operations and to fund its continued growth. However, if the need
arose, the Company would seek to obtain capital from such sources as long-term
debt or equity financing.


Forward Looking Statement

         Certain matters discussed in this report may include forward-looking
statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Such risk and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, risks arising from the Company providing its
services exclusively to the healthcare industry, as well as the credit and
collection risks associated with this industry.

PART II.  Other Information
          -----------------

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings.

              On or about May 24, 1996 the United States Attorney for the
              Eastern District of Pennsylvania filed a civil action entitled
              United States of America v. Healthcare Services Group, Inc. et.
              Al. (96-CV-3940) in the United States District Court for the
              Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The action seeks civil penalties
              (including treble and other damages) under several U.S. statutes,
              including 41 U.S.C. Section 52 et seq., 18 U.S.C. Sections 1956 
              and 1957, against the Company and two of its officers (as well as
              other named defendants) with respect to certain payments
              (approximately $84,000 in 1988, $54,000 in 1989, $110,000 in 1990,
              $127,000 in 1991 and $34,000 in 1992) made by the Company to
              certain entities that were not in accordance with Company policy
              or for a valid business purpose. Information regarding this matter
              was voluntarily furnished to the U.S. Attorney's office in New
              Jersey in May and November 1992 and such payments were recovered
