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 Health Systems ("Northwest Texas Health"), a 360-bed medical complex, located in Amarillo, Texas, for $125 million plus an additional amount based on the hospital's earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes for a seven year period after the closing date. See "Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources." Presently, the Company operates 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, as well as management contracts for seven other behavioral health centers and 33 acres of land adjacent to the Company's Wellington Regional Medical Center (collectively, the "First Hospital Facilities") for $36.5 million and up to $8 million which is contingent on future operating performance. See "Managements 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 four owned facilities and their related outpatient activities plus the four managed units in Pennsylvania create a 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 for First Hospital, will make it an effective competitor for new contracts to manage behavioral health units of hospitals. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -4- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company is developing, with the participation of Howard Hughes Corporation, a medical complex including a 129-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. In January 1996, the Company broke ground on a 100-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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -5- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary Income Statement Data

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 Revenues McAllen Medical Center contributed 19% 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 one of the Company's Texas acute care hospitals of $10.4 million and $12.4 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, Aiken (acquired in July 1995) and Manatee (acquired in August 1995), and the dispositions of Dallas Family Hospital and Westlake Medical Center (both disposed of in July 1995) and the disposition of 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 [__]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 and [__]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. Valley Hospital Medical Center ("Valley Hospital") contributed 17% 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 [__]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 and [__]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, Manatee would have contributed [__]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 and [__]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, Aiken would have contributed [ ]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 and [ ]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, Northwest Texas Health would have contributed [__]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and [__]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. See "Prospectus Summary -- The Company." 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 -9- 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 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. See "Business - -- Sources of Revenue." 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. See "Risk Factors -- Healthcare Reform Legislation." 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. 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. Liability Insurance 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. 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. These policies include coverage up to $25 million per occurrence for general and professional liability risks. Control By Principal Stockholder Alan B. Miller, the Company's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, controls approximately 83% and, upon consummation of this Offering, will control approximately ___% of the general voting power of UHS. Mr. Miller also owns an aggregate of ___% of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock and upon consummation of the Offering will own ___% of Class A Common Stock and ___% of Class C Common Stock. As such, Mr. Miller can elect 80% of the Board of -10- 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 $____ million ($____ 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 $____ million as of ____________, 1996, which were incurred to fund the purchases of Northwest Texas Health and the First Hospital facilities.

-26- 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 quarter 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, the 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% or $14 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 $37 million in the comparable prior year period. Overall operating margins, excluding the spacial 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 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 effected 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. -27- 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 formula 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 can not 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. See "Risk Factors - Health Reform Legislation." 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 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 -28- 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. 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 three 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. -29- 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. 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 -30- 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 in $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 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 $24.1 million for the three moths ended March 31, 1995. The $8.6 million increase during the 1996 quarter as compared to the 1995 comparable period was primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in the net income plus the addback of the non-cash charges (depreciation, amortization and provision for self-insurance reserves). 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 -31- 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 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, which 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. 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 on the Company's resolving 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. -32- 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. Presently, the Company operates 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 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: o establish and maintain market leadership positions in small and medium-sized markets with favorable demographics; o develop or participate in the leading integrated healthcare delivery system in each of its hospital's markets; o develop and maintain strong relationships with physicians; -33- o maintain a low cost structure while providing high quality care; and o 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, by improving and increasing the services offered by the hospital and by 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 is 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 129-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 428-bed McAllen Medical Center, the Company recently acquired Edinburg Hospital, located in Edinburg, north of McAllen. McAllen is in the third fastest growing MSA in the nation. The Company is further expanding its presence in the McAllen market by building a new 100-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. The Company intends to position Northwest Texas Health as the hub of a health care delivery system. Amarillo is a market of 286,000 people growing 20% faster than the population of the U.S. as a whole. Northwest Texas Health Care 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 also operates two fully equipped outpatient urgent care clinics and the county's only ambulance and only rescue helicopter services. The System had been government operated. The Company expects to improve the operating performance of the System 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 First Hospital. 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 four owned facilities and their related outpatient activities plus the four managed units in Pennsylvania create a 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 First Hospital, will make it an effective competitor for new contracts to manage behavioral health units of hospitals. -34- 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, for example, 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 -- Recent Events." 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. 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 -35- 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 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 given by the United States Senate to Valley Hospital Medical Center, (ii) Keystone Center, Chalmette Medical Center, Turning Point Hospital, HRI Hospital and The Arbour 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. 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 Valley Hospital, McAllen Medical Center, Manatee Memorial Hospital, Aiken Regional Medical Centers and Northwest Texas Health Systems. Following is a brief discussion of these facilities and their respective geographic areas and certain of the Company's other operations: 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 [ ]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and [ ]% 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 129-bed acute -36- care hospital. Howard Hughes Corporation has granted to the Company the exclusive right to operate medical facilities in Summerlin. See "Prospectus Summary -- Recent Events." 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 464-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 [ ]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and [ ]% 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 100-bed acute care hospital in Edinburg and converting the existing property to a nursing and rehabilitation facility. 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 [ ]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and [ ]% 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 and a behavioral health center. Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, Aiken would have contributed [ ]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and [ ]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. 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 Systems ("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. -37- Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Indigent Care Reimbursements, Northwest Texas Health would have contributed [ ]% of the Company's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995, and [ ]% of the Company's EBITDAR for such period. 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. 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. 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 Renaissance Centers For Women is to develop and manage fully integrated specialty hospitals and physician clinic practices of obstetricians. The hospitals house 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.

(2) "Patient Days" is the aggregate sum for all patients of the number of days that hospital care is provided to each patient. (3) "Occupancy Rate" is calculated by dividing average patient days (total patient days divided by the total number of days in the period) by the number of average beds, either available or licensed. -41- 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 tables show approximate percentages of net revenue derived by the Company's acute care hospitals and behavioral health centers which are currently owned. 1995 (Pro forma) assumes the effect of the Adjustments as if they occurred on January 1, 1995.

(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 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. II-2 (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. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of King of Prussia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on May ___, 1996.

Dear Sirs:

"Registration Statement") to be filed by Universal Health Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, relating to the public offering of up to an aggregate of 5,060,000
shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company,
including 660,000 shares which may be purchased by the underwriters if they
exercise the option granted to them by the Company to cover over-allotments, we,
as counsel for the Company, have examined such corporate records, other
documents and questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for
the purposes of this opinion.

     Upon the basis of such examination, we advise you that in our opinion the
Shares have been duly and validly authorized; 400,000 of such Shares which will
be sold by a selling stockholder, are legally issued, fully paid and non-
assessable, and the remainder of the Shares, when sold in the manner
contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, upon receipt by the Company of payment therefor as
provided in such agreement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-
assessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in
the Prospectus contained therein and elsewhere in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus.  This consent is not to be construed as an admission that we are a
