              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 And 1996

1.  Basis Of Presentation

            The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and consequently do not
include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

            The unaudited financial information contained herein reflects all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

2.  Sale of Common Stock

            On February 12, 1996, the Company authorized the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, increased the number of authorized shares
of common stock from 5,000 to 100,000,000, changed the par value of its common
stock from $.01 to $.001 per share and effected a 1,400-for-one stock split. In
addition, on February 12, 1996, the Company sold 4,025,000 shares of common
stock for $12 per share in its initial public offering of common stock. The net
proceeds of such offering of approximately $43,556,000 were used to repay all
outstanding short and long-term debt except for The Spring Anesthesia Group,
Inc. ("Spring") acquisition subordinated note, redeem all outstanding shares of
preferred stock and acquire three businesses. 

3.  Business Combinations

            During 1996, the Company acquired either 100 percent of the
outstanding common stock or substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
seven businesses in transactions accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and merged with three businesses in transactions accounted for as
poolings of interests.

            On February 5, 1997, the Company acquired 100 percent of the
outstanding common stock of Physerv Solutions, Inc. ("Physerv") for
approximately $10,109,000 in cash plus 563,934 shares of common stock.  The 
Company intends to merge the operations of Spring into Physerv as soon as is 
practicable (see Note 5).

            The unaudited consolidated results of operations of the Company on a
pro forma basis as if the Company had consummated on January 1, 1996 the
acquisitions of the businesses it acquired and accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting since January 1, 1996 are as follows:

5. Restructuring Charge

            As previously reported, results at the Company's Spring subsidiary
located in Stockton, California in the three months ended June 30, 1996 were
adversely affected by operating inefficiencies in the processing of physician
charges which resulted in lower revenues during that period. In addition, the
Company incurred increased salary and general and administrative expenses in an
attempt to increase production. To address these operating inefficiencies, among
other actions, the Company decided to replace certain computer hardware and
software at Spring with other operating software. The Company recorded a
restructuring charge in the three months ended June 30, 1996 of approximately
$1,600,000 related to the write-off of certain computer hardware and software,
and costs associated with the introduction of a new management team, some
limited severance activity and other transition items. During the three months
ended December 31, 1996, the Spring operating inefficiencies led to client
dissatisfaction. The Company incurred increased salary and general and
administrative costs in an attempt to increase client satisfaction. However,
these efforts were unsuccessful, and led to the loss of clients and loss of
related revenues. As a result, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, the Company determined that certain identifiable
intangible assets (primarily customer contracts), and goodwill, were not
recoverable from future cash flows of Spring, and accordingly, an impairment
loss of approximately $6,578,000 was recorded in the year ended December 31,
1996. In addition, in conjunction with the Company's acquisition on February 5,
1997 of Physerv, which like Spring, serves only anesthesiologists, the Company
decided to fold the remaining Spring business into Physerv, in order to develop
a profitable, national approach to the anesthesia market. This will entail
exiting the processing of physician charges in remote Spring locations and
performing such processing activities at more efficient central anesthesia
processing locations. As a result of this assimilation, the Company recorded a
charge of $750,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily for
severance and lease terminations related to exiting processing activities at
Spring.



6. Pro Forma Income Taxes

            The Company has acquired certain entities in merger transactions
accounted for as poolings of interests, which prior to the mergers had elected
"S" corporation status for income tax purposes. As a result of the mergers,
these acquired entities terminated their "S" corporation elections. Pro forma
income taxes represent the income tax provision (benefit) that would have been
recognized for periods prior to the mergers had the acquired entities been taxed
as "C" corporations.



7. Related Party Transactions

            Legal services provided by related parties were approximately
$762,000 and $838,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. 

            Rent paid to related parties was approximately $80,000 and $0 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
            Results Of Operations


OVERVIEW

     The Company is a leading provider of business management services to 
hospitals and hospital-affiliated physicians. The Company's services include 
preparation and follow-up on bills for medical services provided, assisting 
providers in qualifying patients for state medicaid eligibility, collecting past
due accounts, and providing other business management services on an outsource 
basis. The Company is generally compensated with a management fee based upon net
receipts of its clients.

     On February 12, 1996, the Company sold 4,025,000 shares of common stock for
$12 per share in its initial public offering of common stock. The net proceeds
of such offering of approximately $43,556,000 were used to repay all outstanding
short and long-term debt except for the Spring acquisition subordinated note,
redeem all outstanding shares of preferred stock and acquire three businesses. 
See "ACQUISITIONS."

     This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ACQUISITIONS

     During 1996, the Company acquired either 100 percent of the outstanding
common stock or substantially all the assets and liabilities of seven businesses
in transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and
merged with three businesses in transactions accounted for as poolings of
interests. 

     On February 5, 1997, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding
common stock of Physerv for approximately $10,109,000 in cash plus 563,934
shares of common stock. The Company intends to merge the operations of Spring 
into Physerv as soon as is practicable.

Revenues

      Revenues increased approximately 51.8% from $16,730,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $25,399,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. Such increase resulted primarily from businesses acquired during 1996 and
1997 plus increased revenues from the addition of new clients, offset, in part,
by decreased revenues from lost clients. In addition, the Company's revenues
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 were adversely affected by
operating inefficiencies in the processing of physician charges at Spring, the
Company's subsidiary located in Stockton, California. See "Restructuring
Charge."

Salaries and Wages

      Salaries and wages increased approximately 49.1% from $8,833,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $13,173,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Such increase resulted primarily from businesses acquired during
1996 and 1997 and increases in the number of clients served by the Company. As a
percentage of revenues, salaries and wages were lower in the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996 primarily due
to efficiencies at businesses acquired in mergers accounted for as poolings of
interest subsequent to March 31, 1996 but prior to December 31, 1996.

General and Administrative Expenses

      General and administrative expenses increased approximately 55.7% from
$6,085,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $9,475,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Such increases resulted primarily from businesses
acquired during 1996 and 1997 and increases in the number of clients served by
the Company. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
were higher in the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1996 primarily due to increased administrative costs
associated with being a publicly traded company.

Depreciation and Amortization

      Depreciation and amortization increased approximately 14.6% from
$1,263,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $1,447,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Such increase resulted primarily from businesses
acquired during 1996 and 1997, offset in part, by reductions in depreciation and
amortization expense due to the write off of Spring fixed and intangible assets.
See Restructuring Charge.

Interest Income

      Interest income decreased from $189,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 to $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily as a
result of lower levels of excess cash invested in 1997 compared to 1996.

Interest Expense

      Interest expense increased approximately 92.1% from $275,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $529,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. Such increase resulted primarily from increased levels of borrowings in
1997 resulting from businesses acquired during 1996 and 1997.

Restructuring Charge

      As previously reported, results at the Company's Spring subsidiary located
in Stockton, California in the three months ended June 30, 1996 were adversely
affected by operating inefficiencies in the processing of physician charges
which resulted in lower revenues during that period. In addition, the Company
incurred increased salary and general and administrative expenses in an attempt
to increase production. To address these operating inefficiencies, among other
actions, the Company decided to replace certain computer hardware and software
at Spring with other operating software. The Company recorded a restructuring
charge in the three months ended June 30, 1996 of approximately $1,600,000
related to the write-off of certain computer hardware and software, and costs
associated with the introduction of a new management team, some limited
severance activity and other transition items. During the three months ended
December 31, 1996, the Spring operating inefficiencies led to client
dissatisfaction. The Company incurred increased salary and general and
administrative costs in an attempt to increase client satisfaction. However,
these efforts were unsuccessful, and led to the loss of clients and loss of
related revenues. As a result, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, the Company determined that certain identifiable
intangible assets (primarily customer contracts) and goodwill were not
recoverable from future cash flows of Spring, and accordingly, an impairment
loss of approximately $6,578,000 was recorded in the year ended December 31,
1996.

In addition, in conjunction with the Company's acquisition on February 5, 1997
of Physerv, which like Spring, serves only anesthesiologists, the Company
decided to fold the remaining Spring business into Physerv, in order to develop
a profitable, national approach to the anesthesia market. This will entail
exiting the processing of physician charges in remote Spring locations and
performing such processing activities at more efficient central anesthesia
processing locations. As a result of this assimilation, the Company recorded a
charge of $750,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily for
severance and lease terminations related to exiting processing activities at
Spring.

Income Taxes (Benefit) and Pro Forma Income Taxes

      The Company's historical effective rates for income taxes (benefit)
changed from (5.5%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 43.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. Such change was primarily attributable to
mergers with two companies subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 1996
but prior to December 31, 1996 that were accounted for as poolings of interests.
Both companies had been taxed as "S" Corporations, and their historical
financial statements, which are now included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements, did not include provisions for income taxes. Pro forma
income taxes are presented for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to show
what income taxes would have been had these two companies been taxed as "C"
Corporations at that time. In addition, changes in the effective income tax rate
also resulted from differing levels in each year of projected annual pretax
income and the effect on such projected levels of items not deductible for
Federal and State income tax purposes.

Pro Forma Net Income and Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

      Pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share result from the
accumulation of the items described above and the increase in the weighted
average number of shares outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996 resulting from shares issued
in the Company's initial public offering of common stock and additional shares
of common stock issued as consideration in acquisitions accounted for as
purchases in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company's working capital and cash and cash equivalents were
$17,573,000 and $1,044,000, respectively, at March 31, 1997 compared to
$14,020,000 and $3,826,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996.

      The Company's total long-term debt, including current portion and amounts
due to related parties was $36,736,000 at March 31, 1997 compared to $21,252,000
at December 31, 1996. Such increase at March 31, 1997 was primarily attributable
to increased borrowings resulting from the acquisition of PhyServ on February 5,
1997, plus borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to pay
transaction fees associated with the PhyServ acquisition and other acquisitions
that were consummated in the second half of 1996.

      The Company believes anticipated cash flow from operations, cash and cash
equivalents on hand and borrowing capacity from its Loan Agreement are adequate
for its anticipated operating needs. The Company is currently discussing 
additional financing alternatives with its bank in order to support its future 
acquisition program.

Item 2.     Changes in Securities

            In connection with its acquisition of PhyServ, between February 5,
1997 and February 28, 1997 the Company issued an aggregate of 563,934 shares of
its Common Stock to the former stockholders of PhyServ. The securities issued
were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

          AMENDMENT NO. 1 dated May 9, 1997 between Physician Support Systems,
Inc. and its subsidiaries identified on the signature pages hereto and
Corestates Bank, N.A., as a lender and as Agent for the several lenders.

                                 Introduction
                                 ------------

          Physician Support Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries identified on the
signature pages hereto (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a Loan
Agreement dated December 13, 1996 (the "Loan Agreement") with Corestates Bank,
N.A., as a lender and as Agent for the several lenders referred to therein
("Corestates").  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

          The Borrowers and Corestates desire to amend the Loan Agreement as set
forth in this Amendment.

          Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrowers and Corestates agree
as follows:

          1. Amendment to Defined Terms.
             -------------------------- 

          (a) Subsection 1.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by 
deleting the definition of the defined term set forth below and replacing it
with the definition set forth below opposite such defined term.

          "Line of Credit Termination Date" shall mean January 1, 1999, unless
extended in writing by the Agent.

          2. Amendment of Section 2.17.  Section 2.17 of the Loan Agreement is
             -------------------------                                        
hereby amended by deleting such subsection in its entirety and replacing it with
the following:

          "2.17 Limitations on Revolving Credit Advances.  Except for the
                ----------------------------------------                 
     repayment on the Closing Date of certain obligations owed to the Bank of
     New York, Revolving Credit Advances may only be used to finance
     acquisitions by the Borrowers or their wholly-owned Subsidiaries of
     companies engaged in businesses with lines of business similar to the lines
     of business in which Borrowers are currently engaged.  Provided, however,
     that Borrowers may borrow on a one-time basis, an amount not exceeding
     $2,648,973.00 for the purpose of reducing the balance then outstanding on
     the Line of Credit, subject to paragraph 2.1(a) of this Loan Agreement.
     If, in connection with any such acquisition, (a) a Borrower requests a
     Revolving Credit Advance, and (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of
     all Revolving Credit Advances outstanding at such time and (ii) such
     requested 
<PAGE>
 
     Revolving Credit Advance exceeds $10,000,000, then such acquisition must be
     approved by the Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
     delayed."
