                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and in
accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  As a result of the merger with
Pacific Physician Services, Inc. (PPSI) in February 1996, certain
reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
items) necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods
presented.  The results of operations for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These financial
statements and footnote disclosures should be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 1995 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto.

Restatement of Financial Statements

     During the first quarter of 1996 the Company combined with PPSI in a
business combination that was accounted for as a pooling of interests. 
Accordingly, the financial statements for all periods prior to February 22,
1996, the effective date of the merger, have been restated to include the
results of PPSI.

Fiscal Year

     At January 1, 1996 PPSI changed its fiscal year-end from July 31 to
December 31.  Amounts consolidated for PPSI prior to January 1, 1996 were based
on an October 31 year-end.  As a result, the consolidated financial statements
for the three months ending March 31, 1995 include the three months ending
January 31, 1995 for PPSI.

Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     Pro forma net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during
the periods in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All stock options issued have been considered as
outstanding common stock equivalents for all periods presented, even if
anti-dilutive, under the treasury stock method. Shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of
MedPartners in February 1995 are assumed to be common share equivalents for all
periods presented.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - (CONTINUED)

Stock Option Plan

     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (ABP 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options.
Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock option
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.

2. CAPITALIZATION

     The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
Company may issue 9,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share, 500,000 shares of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $0.001 per share, and 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share.  As of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 no shares of the 
preferred stock were outstanding.

     On March 13, 1996, the Company completed  a secondary public offering of
6,632,800 shares of its Common Stock. The  net proceeds of the offering were
$194 million. Proceeds of the offering were used to pay all outstanding
indebtedness under the bank credit facility of $70 million. In April 1996, 
$69 million of the proceeds were used to pay-off the Company's convertible 
subordinated debentures. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used to 
fund acquisitions of certain assets of physician practices, expansion of 
physician services, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

     During 1996 the number of shares covered under the 1995 Stock Option Plan
(the Plan) were increased on two occasions.  At a special meeting of the
stockholders on February 22, 1996, the Plan was increased by 1,325,000 shares
and on April 25, 1996 at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders it was increased by
1,200,000 shares.  As of April 25, 1996 a maximum of 7,099,150 shares of Common
Stock were covered by the Plan.


3. ACQUISITIONS

     Effective February 22, 1996, PPSI merged with the Company in a transaction
that was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly, the Company's
historical statements for all periods prior to the effective date of the merger
have been restated to include the results of PPSI.  The Company exchanged
10,983,346 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
common stock of PPSI.

     PPSI's revenues for three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$107,146,000 and $94,970,000, respectively.  PPSI's net income for the
corresponding periods, excluding non-recurring merger charges, was $3,996,000
and $3,137,000, respectively.

     Prior to its merger with the Company, PPSI reported on a fiscal year
ending on July 31.  The restated financial statements for all periods prior to
and including December 31, 1995 are based on a combination of the Company's
results for its December 31 fiscal year and an October 31 fiscal year for PPSI.
Beginning January 1, 1996, PPSI adopted a December 31 fiscal year end;
accordingly, all consolidated financial

statements for periods after December 31, 1995 are based on a consolidation of
all of the Company's subsidiaries on a December 31 year end.  PPSI's historical
results of operations for the two months ending December 31, 1995 are not
included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
An adjustment  has been made to stockholders' equity as of January 1, 1996 to
adjust for the effect of excluding PPSI's results of operations for the two
months ending December 31, 1995.  The following is a summary of operations and
cash flows for the two months ending December 31, 1995 (in thousands):

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired certain operating assets of various medical
practices. Simultaneously with each medical practice acquisition, the Company
entered into practice management agreements which generally have 20 to 40 year
terms. Pursuant to the practice management agreements, the Company manages all
aspects of the affiliated practice other than the provision of medical
services, which is controlled by the physician groups.  Generally, the practice
management agreements cannot be terminated by the physician group or Company
without cause, which includes material default or bankruptcy. Upon termination
for cause or expiration of the clinic services agreement, the physician group
has the option to purchase some or all of the assets owned by the Company,
generally at current book values.

     The acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of

5. CONTINGENCIES

     In addition to the general liability and malpractice insurance carried by
the individual physicians, the Company is insured with respect to general
liability and medical malpractice risks on a claims made basis. Management is
not aware of any claims against the Company which might have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position.

     Employed physicians are also covered by a general liability and
malpractice insurance policy. The Company has not accrued a loss for reported
or unreported incidents, as the amount, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated
and the probability of an adverse outcome cannot be determined at this time. It
is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of any asserted or
unasserted claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or operating results of the Company.

     PPSI, through its wholly-owned captive insurance company, Pacific
Indemnity, Ltd., has provided for an estimate of the cost of the incurred but
not reported claims and deductible amounts for the employed physicians
servicing emergency departments.  At July 31, 1995, Pacific Indemnity, Ltd.
purchased insurance to cover all claims for incidents occurring through July
31, 1995 ("tail coverage") for all employee physicians of the affiliated
medical organizations.  Team Health has an agreement with its insurance carrier
to purchase insurance associated with claims incurred and not yet reported.
Management believes that the recorded accruals for such losses and deductibles
related to malpractice claims for the hospital-based contracting physicians and
the hospital are sufficient to cover incidents occurring prior to March 31,
1996.

     PPSI is self-insured for employee and dependent health insurance costs and
certain workers' compensation costs.  Reinsurance of defined excess cost has
been purchased from an outside insurance company.  Management believes that
amounts accrued are sufficient to cover claims and costs incurred through March
31, 1996.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On March 11, 1996, the Company agreed to acquire CHS Management, Inc., a
health care management service organization that provides management services
to an IPA of 325 primary care and specialist physicians and a medical group of
43 primary care physicians.  The consideration for this transaction is expected
to be approximately $47 million of the Company's Common Stock.  The transaction
is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is expected to
close prior to June 30, 1996.  

     On May 14, 1996, the Company agreed to merge with Caremark International,
Inc., a leading provider of healthcare services in the United States and
overseas.  Caremark, through its large, multi-specialty group practices, is
affiliated with 1,604 physicians and provides care to more than one million
people, 663,000 of whom are in prepaid health plans.  Caremark also provides
pharmaceutical services, disease management, and international services.  The
consideration for this transaction is expected to be approximately $2.5 billion
of the Company's Common Stock.  The transaction is expected to be accounted for
as a pooling of interests and is expected to close prior to September 30, 1996.

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


     The Following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
document.

GENERAL

     MedPartners/Mullikin is the result of the business combination between
MedPartners and MME, which was consummated on November 29, 1995.  The financial
information referred to in this discussion reflects the combined operations of
several entities.  In February of 1996, MedPartners/Mullikin combined with 
Pacific Physician Services, Inc. ("PPSI") in a business combination that was 
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  

     The Company acquires existing medical practices and enters into long-term
contractual relationships pursuant to practice management agreements, for
periods ranging from 20 to 44 years, to provide management and administrative
services.  The practice management agreements convey to the Company perpetual
and unilateral control over the assets and operations of the various affiliated
professional corporations.  Notwithstanding the lack of technical majority
ownership of the stock of such entities, consolidation of the professional
corporation is necessary to present fairly the financial position and results
of operations of the Company.  Control by the Company is perpetual rather than
temporary because of (i) the length of the original term of the agreements,
(ii)  the continuing investment of capital by the Company, (iii) the employment
of the majority of the non-physician personnel, and (iv) the nature of the
services provided to the professional corporations by the Company.  The
Company's financial relationship with each practice offers the physicians
access to capital, management expertise, sophisticated information systems, and
managed care contracts.  The Company's revenue is derived from medical services
provided by physicians under the practice management agreements, which has been
assigned to the Company.  Approximately 48.5% of this revenue is derived
through contracts with HMO's.  The Company contracts directly with the HMOs to
provide medical services to HMO enrollees who have chosen the Company's
affiliated physicians, or, in some cases, physicians who are members of the
Mullikin Independent Physician Association ("MIPA").  The Company's
profitability depends on enhancing operating efficiency, expanding health care
services provided, increasing market share and assisting affiliated physicians
in managing the delivery of medical care.

Enrollment

     The Company's prepaid health care revenue is reflective of the number of
HMO enrollees for whom it receives monthly capitation payments.  Enrollment is
categorized as either "commercial enrollment" (enrollees generally under the
age of 65 whose health coverage is sponsored by employers) or "senior
enrollment" (enrollees over the age of 65 who are retired and whose coverage is
sponsored by Medicare).  The Company receives professional capitation to
provide physician services and institutional capitation to provide hospital
care and other non-professional services.  The table below sets forth the
changes in enrollment for professional and institutional capitation.  Most of
the enrollment growth is related to acquisitions and increased enrollment in
the northern California operations.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

     For the three months ended March 31, 1996, net revenue was $333  million,
compared to $260 million for the same period in 1995.  The increase in net
revenue resulted from the affiliation with new physician practices, existing
clinic growth and the increase in prepaid enrollees.

     Excluding non-recurring items related to the PPSI merger, operating 
expenses, at the clinic level were $289 million, or 86.8% of net revenue for 
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $228 million or 87.7% of net
revenue for the same period in 1995.  Clinic salaries, wages and benefits
decreased as a percentage of net revenue from the three months ended March 31,
1995 to the three months ended March 31, 1996 as certain operational
efficiencies were implemented and the IPA business, which requires a low support
staff ratio, continued to grow.  Outside hospitalization expense increased from
$22 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $36 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, and also increased as a percentage of net
revenue from 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 10.8% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  This is directly related to the increase of
the Company's global capitation from 29.8% to 34.7% of the total capitation for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same period of 1996.  
General corporate expenses increased from $16 million during the first quarter
of 1995 to $19 million during the first quarter of 1996.  As a percent of net 
revenue, general corporate expenses decreased from 6.2% in the first quarter 
of 1995 to 5.7% in the first quarter of 1996.

     Included in pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
merger expenses totaling $34.4 million relating to the business combination
with PPSI.  The major components of the $34.4 million included:  $13.8 million 
for restructuring of operations, $6.6 million in brokerage fees, $5.9 million 
in severance costs, $2.6 million in professional fees, $2.4 million for the 
impairment of assets and $1.9 million in unamortized bond issue costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $174 million,
including cash and cash equivalents of $158 million.  For the first three
months of 1996, cash flow from operations, excluding cash paid for merger
costs, was ($2.2) million compared to $6.5 million for the same period of 1995.
The negative cash flow from operations for the first three months of 1996 was
created by the build-up of accounts receivable relative to the growth of the
existing practices.  

     For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company invested $12.3
million in acquisitions of the assets of physician practices, $8.4 million in
equipment for the physician practices and the corporate office and $1.4 million
in intangible assets related to corporate name/trademarks and other intangible
assets.  For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company's investing
activities totaled $32.1 million, which was primarily composed of $16.9 million
related to practice acquisitions, $6.9 million related to the purchase of
property and equipment and $6.2 million related to the purchase of marketable
securities.  These expenditures were funded from approximately $60.7 million
from equity proceeds.

     On March 13, 1996, the Company sold 6.6 million shares of Common Stock at
$30.25 per share.  The Company raised net proceeds of $194 million, $70 million
of which was applied to reduce the indebtedness under the Company's Revolving
Credit and Reimbursement Agreement (the Bank Credit Facility).  In April 1996
$69 million of the proceeds were used to pay-off the Company's convertible
subordinated debentures.

     On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into the Bank Credit Facility
with a syndicate of banks which provides a revolving credit facility of up to
$150 million.  Advances under the Bank Credit Facility bear interest at the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.0%.  The Bank Credit Facility has
an expiration date of May 10, 1998 and is renewable for two additional one-year
periods.  In conjunction with the Bank Credit Facility, the Company granted the
banks a first priority security interest in all shares of stock of its
subsidiaries and provided a negative pledge on substantially all assets.

     The Bank Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants
which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios (including maintain net worth, minimum fixed charge overage ratio,
maximum indebtedness to cash flow), limit the amount of additional
indebtedness, and set certain restrictions on investments, mergers and sales of
assets. Additionally, the Company is required to obtain bank consent for
acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price in excess of $15 million.  As of
March 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Bank
Credit Facility.

                                       12

     The Company intends to acquire the assets of additional physician
practices and to fund this growth with existing cash  and cash equivalents and
borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility.  The Company believes that its
existing cash resources, the use of the Company's Common Stock for selected
practice and other acquisitions, and available borrowings under the Bank Credit
Facility, will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated acquisition,
expansion and working capital needs for the foreseeable future.  The Company
may raise additional capital through the issuance of long-term or short-term
indebtedness or the issuance of additional equity securities in private or
public transactions, at such times and terms as management deems appropriate
and the market allows.

(1)  Net common shares issuable on exercise of certain stock options is
     calculated based on the treasury stock method using the average market
     price for the primary calculation and the ending market price, if higher
     than average, for the fully diluted calculation.
(2)  Common shares issuable on exercise of certain stock options were not       
     included in the calculation of average common and common equivalent shares
     outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1996 since the effect of
     inclusion would be antidilutive.
(3)  Pro forma net loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
     the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
     periods in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.  All stock options and warrants issued have been
     considered as outstanding common stock equivalents for all periods
     presented, even if anti-dilutive, under the treasury stock method. Shares
     of common stock issued upon conversion of the redeemable convertible
     preferred stock were assumed to be common stock equivalents for all 
     periods presented.

   MEDPARTNERS/MULLIKIN AND CAREMARK MERGER TO CREATE $4.4 BILLION REVENUE
                    PHYSICIAN PRACTICE MANAGEMENT COMPANY


BIRMINGHAM, AL AND NORTHBROOK, IL - MAY 14, 1996--MedPartners/Mullikin, Inc.
(NYSE: MDM) and Caremark International Inc. (NYSE: CK) the nation's two largest
physician practice management (PPM) companies, today announced that they have
agreed to merge in a transaction valued at $2.5 billion.  The combined
enterprise has annualized first quarter revenues of $4.4 billion and
approximately 7,250 affiliated physicians providing care to patients
nationwide, including almost 1.5 million prepaid enrollees.  Combined with
Caremark's prescription benefit management (PBM) and disease management
businesses, the new enterprise will offer HMOs and other payors comprehensive
healthcare solutions.

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of
Directors of both companies, each Caremark share will be converted into
MedPartners/Mullikin common stock at a fixed ratio of 1.21 shares of
MedPartners/Mullikin per Caremark share.  The agreement contains no provisions
for termination based on fluctuations in either company's stock price.  The
merger is expected to close in the third quarter 1996, and is subject to
regulatory and shareholder approval.  The transaction, which will be tax-free
to shareholders and accounted for as a pooling of interests, is expected to be
accretive to MedPartners/Mullikin's earnings per share in 1996 and 1997.

The combined enterprise, which will be known as MedPartners, Inc., will be led
by Larry R. House, who will be Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. 
C.A. Lance Piccolo, Caremark's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will join
the Board of Directors and serve as Vice Chairman.  The new Board will be
comprised of the nine MedPartners/Mullikin directors, Mr. Piccolo and three
additional Caremark directors.

Mr. House said, "This merger further enhances our leadership role in the
provision of physician directed and patient-centered healthcare nationwide. 
We have now formed the premier physician practice management company in the
country, with unparalleled depth and breadth of management and expertise in
fee-for-service as well as prepaid markets nationwide.  As a combined company,
we have outstanding internal and external growth opportunities which will have
an immediate positive financial impact for our shareholders."

Mr. Piccolo added, "The merger is a preemptive strategic move to build an
organization that is ideally positioned to deliver quality patient care that
is affordable.  Our mutual commitment to physician-led, patient-centered care
is enhanced by the depth of clinical data collected over more than a decade in
our PBM and disease management businesses.  Combined, we will be better able to
provide physicians with the support they need to provide medical care and to
shape the future of healthcare in the United States and around the world."

Caremark is a leading provider of healthcare services in the United States and
overseas.  Its affiliated physician organizations are large, multi-specialty
group practices located in six major metropolitan markets.  These networks,
which are affiliated with 1,604 physicians, provide care to more than one
million people, 663,000 of whom are in prepaid health plans.  In addition to
its PPM business, the Northbrook, Illinois company helps care

for millions of people through its pharmaceutical services, disease management
and international services, using clinical expertise and advanced technology to
improve patient care and manage healthcare costs.  Caremark was recently named
one of America's most admired healthcare companies by Fortune Magazine. 
Caremark had 1995 revenues of $2.4 billion from continuing operations.

MedPartners/Mullikin is a leading physician practice management company that
develops, consolidates and manages integrated healthcare delivery systems. 
Through the company's network of affiliated group and IPA physicians,
MedPartners/Mullikin provides primary and specialty healthcare services to
prepaid managed care enrollees and fee-for-service patients.  The company
operates in 23 states and is affiliated with 5,645 physicians including 1,457
in group practices, 3,731 through IPA relationships and 457 hospital-based
physicians.  MedPartners/Mullikin physicians provide prepaid healthcare to
over 800,000 enrollees through 45 HMO relationships.

When the merger is complete, the combined healthcare operations will be managed
as one organization, with a management team drawn from both companies.  "On a
combined basis, MedPartners will have a management team unmatched by any other
company in the industry today.  We will integrate the PPM organizations and
continiue to rely on Caremark's divisional management to run the PBM, the
disease management and the international businesses.  Together, we will
collectively possess the knowledge, skill and expertise to successfully grow
the business going forward," said Mr. House.  "We have had enormous success in
integrating the operations of Mullikin and Pacific Physician Services and in
recognizing the synergies of complementary service markets.  The addition of
Caremark will add great value to all of our existing payor, hospital and
provider relationships."

The new company expects to realize significant financial benefits from
synergies, including enhanced revenues through additional prepaid enrollees and
new opportunities between the PPM, PBM and disease management businesses, plus
reductions in operating expenses.  "We expect to be able to deliver substantial
growth in earnings per share in 1997 and beyond as we take full advantage of
the potential synergies," said Mr. House.

Smith Barney Inc. and CS First Boston acted as financial advisors to
MedPartners/Mullikin and Caremark, respectively.
