PEDIATRIC SERVICES OF AMERICA, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--UNAUDITED

     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
     Pediatric Services of America, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
     of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and
     notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
     financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
     (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
     fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for the three
     month period ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30,
     1997. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year
     ended September 30, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on 
     Form 10-K for such year filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Principal accounting policies are set forth in the Company's 1996 Annual
     Report.

2.   NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

     Net income per common and common equivalent share is computed using the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
     during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock
     options (calculated using the treasury stock method). This calculation
     excludes any antidilutive shares during the period.

3.   ACQUISITIONS

     On October 1, 1996, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain
     liabilities of IntensiCare, Inc. ("ICI"), a pediatric nursing company in
     Elmhurst, Illinois, for a total purchase price of $3.1 million, consisting
     of cash and assumption of indebtedness. Approximately $700,000 of the
     purchase price was placed in escrow to be issued to the stockholders of ICI
     on the first anniversary date of the purchase.

     On October 1, 1996, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain
     liabilities of Pediatric Specialists, Inc. ("PSI"), a pediatric 
     phototherapy company in San Dimas, California, for a total cash purchase
     price of $1.1 million. Approximately, $50,000 of the purchase price was
     allocated to a non-compete agreement and $250,000 was placed in escrow to
     be issued to the stockholders of PSI on the first anniversary date of the
     purchase.

     The acquisition of ICI and PSI are not considered significant and,
     therefore, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect pro forma
     financial information for these acquisitions.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
DECEMBER 31, 1995.

   Net revenue increased $9.6 million, or 26%, to $46.5 million in the three
months ended December 31, 1996 from $36.9 million in the same period in 1995.
The Company's acquisitions and start-up operations accounted for approximately
$3.5 million, or 37%, of the increase and internal growth accounted for the
remaining $6.1 million, or 63%, of the increase.  Overall, the internal growth
in net revenue was 17% for the three months ended December 31, 1996.  Of the
$9.6 million increase in net revenue in the 1996 period, pediatric net revenue
accounted for $4.5 million, or 47.0%, of the increase.  Increased pediatric net
revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was attributable to the
Company's acquisitions and start-up operations which contributed approximately
$3.4 million, or 75%, of the increase and to marketing efforts which resulted in
an increase in patients served rather than any significant increase in rates
charged.  Adult net revenue accounted for $2.4 million, or 25%, of the increase
in net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1996, primarily due to
internal growth of existing locations.  Medical testing services net revenue
accounted for $2.7 million, or 28%, of the increase in net revenue for the
quarter, primarily due to an increase in the volume of business.

   Operating salaries, wages and employee benefits consist primarily of branch
office operations.  Operating salaries, wages and benefits increased $2.9
million, or 17%, to $19.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 1996
from $16.8 million in the same period in 1995.  The increase was primarily due
to the Company's acquisitions and start-up operations which added approximately
$2.6 million, or 91%, of the increase and the remainder to internal growth.  As
a percentage of net revenue, operating salaries, wages and employee benefits for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 decreased to 42% from 46% in the
comparable period in 1995. The decrease in operating salaries, wages and
employee benefits as a percentage of net revenue is primarily attributable to a
change in business mix to a higher percentage of pharmacy and medical testing
services net revenue to total net revenue.  The pharmacy and medical testing
services operations maintain a lower operating salaries, wages and employee
benefits component as compared to the Company's other operations, thereby
decreasing the Company's overall ratio.

   Other operating costs include medical supplies, branch office rents,
utilities, vehicle expenses and cost of sales.  Other operating costs increased
$5.1 million, or 40%, to $17.9 million in the three months ended December 31,
1996 from $12.8 million in the comparable period in 1995.  Of this increase,
$4.5 million, or 89%, relates to the Company's internal growth and the remainder
to the Company's acquisitions and start-up operations.  As a percentage of net
revenue, other operating costs for the three months ended December 31, 1996
increased to 39% from 35% in the comparable period of 1995.  The increase in
other operating costs as a percentage of net revenue is primarily attributable
to the increase in net revenue volume from the pharmacy and medical testing
services operations.  The pharmacy and medical testing services operations have
a higher other operating cost component than the Company's other operations due
to the purchase of drug product for the pharmacy business and payment of
operating expenses for the medical testing services business.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
   Corporate, general and administrative costs increased $0.5 million, or 23%,
to $2.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 1996 from $2.3 million in
the same period in 1995.  The increase was primarily due the internal growth of
the Company's operations.  The percentage of corporate, general and
administrative costs to net revenue was comparable for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

   Provision for doubtful accounts consists of the amount of billed revenue that
management estimates will become uncollectible. During the three months ended
December 31, 1996, the Company's provision for doubtful accounts increased
approximately $0.3 million, or 28%, to $1.4 million from $1.1 million in the
same period in 1995.  The increase is primarily due to the increase in total net
revenue and days sales outstanding.  As a percentage of net revenue, the
provision for doubtful accounts is comparable for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

   Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.3 million, or 25%, to
$1.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 1996 from $1.1 million in
the same period in 1995.  The increase was primarily due to capital expenditures
for the purchase of rental equipment and the amortization of goodwill from the
Company's acquisitions.  As a  percentage of the Company's total net revenue,
depreciation and amortization costs were comparable for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

   Interest expense increased $0.3 million, or 113%, to $0.6 million in the
three months ended December 31, 1996 from $0.3 million in the same period in
1995.  The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the Company's
weighted average debt outstanding incurred to finance acquisitions and the
Company's internal growth.

   Income tax expense increased $0.1 million, or 11%, to $1.1 million in the
three months ended December 31, 1996 from $1.0 million in the same period in
1995.  This increase is due to an increase in the profitability of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   In December 1996, the Company and its primary bank amended and restated the
credit agreement ("1996 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") to further
increase the amount of available financing to $60 million, consisting of a $50
million revolving loan and a $10 million term loan. An additional bank was added
to the credit agreement to expand the credit facility. Amounts available to
borrow under the amended credit facility are subject to certain limits as
defined in the agreement. As of December 31, 1996, the amount available under
the 1996 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $22.6 million. Borrowings
under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% or the Bank's prime rate,
at the Company's option. The interest rates under this facility at December 31,
1996 ranged from 8.25% to 7.06% per annum. Amounts outstanding under the
revolving loan are due in October 2000, and principal amounts outstanding under
the term loan are due in 14 quarterly installments beginning on March 31, 1997.
Outstanding borrowings under this facility at December 31, 1996 were
approximately $34.6 million ($24.6 million under the revolving loan and $10.0
million under the term loan).

   The Company's operating cash flows are affected significantly by growth in
accounts receivable, largely as a result of the Company's net revenue growth.
For the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company's cash flows
from operations were affected by increases in accounts receivable balances of
$7.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.  These increases were due primarily
to volume growth and acquisitions.  The Company's days sales outstanding ("DSO")
in accounts receivable was 107 days, 101 days and 95 days as of December 31,
1996, September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, based on the
annualized net revenue for the last quarter of the period.  The increase in the
DSO is primarily attributable to the accelerated growth experienced by the
Company.   The Company has taken measures to improve the DSO by investing in
additional accounts receivable staff and is completing the development of a new
billing and receivable management system on target for implementation in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997.

   The Company's investments in property and equipment are attributable to
purchases of medical equipment that is rented to patients.  The Company's
investments in the acquisition of businesses were $4.6 million and $0.5 million
respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

   The Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset in its consolidated
financial statements.  Management believes that it is more likely than not 
that the net deferred tax asset will be realized.

   The Company intends to continue to expand its business primarily through
acquiring local and regional home health care companies, opening branch offices
in both new and existing markets and expanding the services currently provided
at its existing branch offices.  Acquisitions to date have been financed with a
combination of cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Company's
credit facility and shares of Common Stock of the Company.

                                       10

<PAGE>
 
   Development costs of new branch offices include, among other things, lease
deposits and payments, and leasehold improvements and start-up costs, including
marketing and labor costs.  Management believes that the Company's cash
commitment for each new branch office that delivers a full range of the
Company's services may approximate $500,000.  Such costs will vary depending
upon inflation and the size and location of each facility and, accordingly, may
vary substantially from this approximation. Management expects that its current
plan to expand services at the Company's existing branch offices may require
funds of up to $2 million.

   Management currently believes that internally generated funds and borrowings
under the Company's amended credit facilities will be adequate to satisfy the
Company's working capital requirements, including currently anticipated
expansion, through December 1997.

QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS AND SEASONALITY

   The Company's quarterly results may vary significantly depending primarily on
factors such as rehospitalizations of patients, the timing of new branch office
openings and pricing pressures due to legislative and regulatory initiatives to
contain health care costs. The Company believes that its net revenue is
typically higher during the third and fourth quarters of its fiscal year due to
respiratory illnesses associated with the spring and summer months.  As a result
of the above factors, the Company's operating results for any particular quarter
may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company was held on
         January 22, 1997. Proxies with regard to the matters to be voted upon
