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") and its majority-owned
     subsidiaries 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 and nine month periods ended June 30,
     1997 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.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted for the
     periods after December 15, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required
     to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to
     restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating
     primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be
     excluded. There is no expected impact on primary earnings per share for the
     three months ended June 30, 1997. The impact for the three months ended
     June 30, 1996 is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per
     share of $0.01 per share. Adoption of Statement No. 128 is expected to
     result in an increase in primary earnings per share for the nine months
     ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 of $0.03 and $0.03 per share respectively. The
     impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per
     share for these three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and nine months
     ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is not expected to be material.


3.  INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT

     At June 30, 1997, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement with a
     commercial bank (the "Counter Party") outstanding, having a cumulative
     notional principal amount of $25 million.  The Company pays a fixed rate of
     6.61% plus the applicable credit spread under  the Company's credit
     facility.  The interest rate swap terminates in June 2002.  The Company is
     exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the Counter Party
     to the interest rate swap agreement.  However, the Company does not
     anticipate such non-performance.


4.   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.

     On January 1, 1997, the Company purchased the assets of IVonyx, Inc. ("IV")
     a pharmacy company in Rancho Cordova, California for a total cash purchase
     price of $105,000.

                                       7

     On January 1, 1997, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain
     liabilities of Nurses Unlimited, Inc. ("NU"), a pediatric home nursing
     company in Santa Cruz, California for a total purchase price of $525,000.
     Approximately $200,000 of the purchase price will be paid quarterly in the
     form of a note over a two year period.

     On February 1, 1997, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain
     liabilities of Concerned Nursing Care, Inc. ("CNC") a pediatric home
     nursing company in Newton, New Jersey for a total purchase price of $3.5
     million.  Approximately $1.2 million of the purchase price will be paid
     over a two year period in the form of a note.

     On April 1, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
     Comprehensive Medical Enterprises, Inc. ("CME") a pediatric home nursing
     company in Orlando, Florida for a total purchase price of $2.8 million.
     Approximately $550,000 of the purchase price will be paid annually over a
     two year period in the form of a note.

     On April 4, 1997, the Company purchased certain assets of Olsten Certified
     Healthcare Corporation ("OCH") in Raleigh, North Carolina for a total
     purchase price of $175,000.

     On May 1, 1997, the Company purchased the stock of Home Vitality, Inc.
     ("HVI") a pharmacy company in Downers Grove, Illinois for a total purchase
     price of $1.2 million, consisting of cash and assumption of indebtedness.
     Approximately $200,000 of the purchase price will be paid semi-annually in
     the form of a note over a two year period.

     The acquisitions of ICI, PSI, IV, NU, CNC, CME, OCH, and HVI are not
     considered significant as defined by Regulation S-X Rule 1-02(w) and,
     therefore, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect pro forma
     financial information for these acquisitions.

</TABLE> 

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

     Net revenue increased $10.9 million, or 25%, to $53.9 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $43.0 million in the same period in 1996.  The
Company's acquisitions and start-up operations accounted for approximately $3.7
million, or 34%, of the increase and internal growth accounted for the remaining
$7.2 million, or 66%, of the increase.  Overall, the internal growth in net
revenue was 17% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  Of the $10.9 million
increase in net revenue in the 1997 period, pediatric net revenue accounted for
$9.5 million, or 87%, of the increase.  Increased pediatric net revenue for the
three months ended June 1997 was attributable to the Company's acquisitions and
start-up operations which contributed approximately $3.6 million, or 38%, of the
increase and the remainder to internal growth rather than any significant
increase in rates charged.  Adult net revenue was essentially unchanged.  The
comparison of net pediatric revenue versus prior year periods and the comparison
of pediatric to adult is impacted by a refinement in methodology used to
calculate the statistics.  The company is confident that its new method better
reflects true operating performance and can be measured on a consistent basis
now and in the future.  Medical testing services net revenue accounted for $1.4
million, or 13%, 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 employee benefits increased
$4.4 million, or 24%, to $23.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997
from $18.7 million in the same period in 1996.  The increase was attributable to
the Company's acquisitions and start-up operations which added approximately
$2.8 million, or 63%, 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 June 30, 1997 decreased to 43% from 44% in the comparable
period in 1996.  The decrease in operating salaries, wages and employee benefits
as a percentage of net revenue is attributable to a number of factors including:
improved nursing productivity due to scheduling and staffing efficiencies and a
change in business mix to a higher percentage of pharmacy net revenue to total
net revenue.  The pharmacy operations maintain a lower operating salaries, wages
and employee benefits component as compared to many of 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.  The cost of sales consist
primarily of the cost of pharmacy products.  Other operating costs increased
$4.2 million, or 27%, to $20.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997
from $15.8 million in the comparable period in 1996.  Of this increase, $3.5
million, or 83%, 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 June 30, 1997
increased one half of 1% compared to the same period of 1996.  The primary
factor behind the increase is the higher cost of sales component in the pharmacy
operations.

                                       10

     Corporate, general and administrative costs increased $0.5 million, or 18%,
to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $3.0 million in
the same period in 1996.  The increase was primarily due to the growth of the
Company's operations and the addition of temporary personnel needed for
implementation of the Company's new billing and collection system.  The
percentage of corporate, general and administrative costs to net revenue
decreased by one half of 1% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
the same period of 1996.

     Provision for doubtful accounts consists of the amount of billed revenue
that management estimates will become uncollectable.  During the three months
ended June 30, 1997, the Company's provision for doubtful accounts increased
approximately $0.3 million, or 25%, to $1.7 million from $1.3 million in the
same period in 1996.  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 June
30, 1997 and 1996.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.3 million, or 25%, to
$1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.3 million in the
same period in 1996.  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
June 30, 1997 and 1996.

     Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 64%, to $1.0 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.6 million in the same period in 1996.
The increase was primarily the result of a $25 million increase in the Company's
average debt outstanding at June 30, 1997 compared to the same period last year.
This additional debt was secured to finance acquisitions and the Company's
working capital.

     Income tax expense increased $0.2 million, or 21% to $1.2 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.0 million, in the same period in 1996.
This increase is due to an increase in the income before tax of the Company.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

     Net revenue increased $30.1 million, or 25% to $150.2 million in the
nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $120.1 million in the same period in 1996.
The Company's acquisitions and start-up operations accounted for approximately
$9.7 million, or 32% of the increase and internal growth accounted for the
remaining $20.4 million, or 68% of the increase.  Overall, the internal growth
in net revenue was 17% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997.  Of the $30.1
million increase in net revenue in the 1997 period, pediatric net revenue
accounted for $16.6 million, or 55% of the increase.  Increased pediatric net
revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was attributable to the
Company's acquisitions and start-up operations which contributed approximately
$9.4 million, or 57% of the increase and the remainder to internal growth rather
than any significant increase in rates charged.  Adult net revenue accounted for
$7.4 million, or 25% of the increase in net revenue for the nine months ended
June 30, 1997, primarily due to internal growth of existing locations. The
comparison of net pediatric revenue versus prior year periods and the comparison
of pediatric to adult is impacted by a refinement in methodology used to
calculate the statistics.  The company is confident that its new method better
reflects true operating performance and can be measured on a consistent basis
now and in the future.  Medical testing services net revenue accounted for $6.1
million, or 20% of the increase.

     Operating salaries, wages and employee benefits consist primarily of
branch office operations.  Operating salaries, wages and employee benefits
increased $10.6 million or 20% to $64.3 million in the nine months ended June
30, 1997 from $53.7 million in the same period in 1996.  The increase was
primarily due to the Company's acquisitions and start-up operations which added
approximately $6.9 million, or 65%, of the increase and the remainder to
internal growth.  As a percentage of net revenue, operating salaries, wages and
employee benefits for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 decreased to 43% from
45% in the comparable period in 1996. The decrease in operating salaries, wages
and employee benefits as a percentage of net revenue is attributable to a number
of factors including: improved nursing productivity due to scheduling and
staffing efficiencies, and a change in business mix to a higher percentage of
medical testing services net revenue to total net revenue. The 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.  The cost of sales consist
primarily of the cost of pharmacy products.  Other operating costs increased
$13.2 million, or 30%, to $56.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 1997
from $43.3 million in the comparable period in 1996.  Of this increase, $11.3
million or 86%, 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 nine months ended June 30, 1997 increased
to 38% from 36% in the comparable period of 1996.  The increase in other
operating costs as a percentage of net revenue is primarily attributable to the 
higher cost of sales component in the pharmacy operations and the
increase in net revenue volume from the medical testing services operations.

     Corporate, general and administrative costs increased $1.6 million, or
21%, to $9.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $7.7 million in
the same period in 1996.  The increase was primarily due to the growth of the
Company's operations and the addition of temporary personnel needed for the
implementation of the Company's new billing and collection system.  The
percentage of corporate, general, and administrative costs to net revenue was
essentially comparable for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

     Provision for doubtful accounts consists of the amount of billed revenue
that management estimates will become uncollectable.  During the nine months
ended June 30, 1997, the Company's provision for doubtful accounts increased
approximately $1.1 million, or 30%, to $4.7 million from $3.6 million in the
same period in 1996.  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 nine months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.9 million, or 25%, to
$4.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $3.6 million in the
same period in 1996.  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 nine months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996.

     For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred non-recurring
merger costs related to the merger of the Company with Premier Medical Services,
Inc. ("PMS") on February 29, 1996.  These costs represent legal and professional
fees, severance costs and other costs related to consummating the merger.

     Interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 85%, to $2.3 million in the
nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.3 million in the same period in 1996.
The increase was primarily the result of a $21 million increase in the Company's
average debt outstanding at June 30, 1997 compared to the same period last year.
This additional debt was secured to finance acquisitions and the Company's
working capital.

     Income tax expense increased $0.6 million, or 21%, to $3.5 million in the
nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.9 million, excluding the tax effect of
the non-recurring merger costs, in the same period in 1996.  This increase is
due to an increase in the income before tax 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 June 30, 1997, the amount available under the
1996 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $10 million.  Borrowings under
this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% or the Bank's base rate, at the
Company's option.  The interest rates under this facility at June 30, 1997
ranged from 7.19% to 7.32% 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 the second of which was paid June 30,
1997.  Outstanding borrowings under this facility at June 30, 1997 were
approximately $48.6 million ($40.0 million under the revolving loan and $8.6
million under the term loan).

     The Company is in the process of revising the credit facility to increase
the amount of available financing to $100 million, modify the pricing structure,
and expand the number of banks in the credit facility. The Company currently has
commitments for the full $100 million bank facility. The revised bank facility
is expected to close in the 1997 fiscal year fourth quarter.

     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 and
the increase in the days sales outstanding. For the nine months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, the Company's cash flows from operations were affected by
increases in accounts receivable balances of $20.7 million and $17.1 million,
respectively. These increases were due primarily to volume growth, acquisitions
and higher days sales outstanding ("DSO"). The Company's DSO in accounts
receivable was 111 days and 97 days as of June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
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, seasonality and the impact of the acquired
accounts receivable balances from the acquisitions and diversion of collection
activities due to the installation of the Company's new billing and collection
system. The Company has taken measures to improve the DSO by hiring more
experienced key reimbursment personnel, improving training programs

and implementing its new billing and receivable management system. For the nine
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company's cash flows from operations
were affected by the decrease and increase in accounts payable balances of $1.3
million and $1.7 million, respectively.

     The Company's investments in property and equipment are attributable to
purchases of medical equipment that is rented to patients and capitalization of
the cost of the new billing and receivable management system.  The Company's
investments in the acquisition of businesses were $10.7 million and $4.6 million
respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

     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.  During the quarter ended June 30,
1997, the 1996 tax return and the 1993 through 1995 amended tax returns were
filed for the Company and its subsidiaries to take advantage of recent changes
in the tax code which allowed for a revaluation of trade accounts receivable.
This revaluation gave rise to expected cash refunds of $2.0 million plus
interest.  As a result of this revaluation, the net operating loss carryforwards
of certain subsidiaries were increased by approximately $5.0 million which will
be available to offset certain future tax payments.

     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.

     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 to be able to
finance its current plan to expand services at the Company's existing branch
offices with existing sources of working capital.

     Management currently believes that internally generated funds and
borrowings under the Company's existing and anticipated revised credit
facilities will be adequate to satisfy the Company's working capital
requirements, including currently anticipated expansion for the foreseeable
future.

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.
