SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 1998
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
(a) Organization
------------
SunStar Healthcare, Inc. (SunStar or the Company) was incorporated in
December 1995 and issued 875,000 shares (prior to a stock split
discussed below) of common stock. In January 1996, National Home
Health Care Corp. (NHHC), then the sole shareholder of the Company,
contributed to SunStar 100% of the outstanding capital stock of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, First Health, Inc. (First Health) and
Brevard Medical Center, Inc. (Brevard), which included 100% of the
outstanding capital stock of Brevard's wholly owned subsidiary,
SunStar Health Plan, Inc. (SHP) (formerly known as Boro Medical
Corp.). Subsequent thereto, the Company restructured its subsidiaries
such that Brevard, First Health and SHP all became direct, wholly-
owned subsidiaries of SunStar. The Company, First Health, Brevard and
SHP collectively are referred to herein as SunStar.
SunStar is engaged in providing managed healthcare services in the
State of Florida by operating a health maintenance organization (HMO)
through SHP. As originally organized, the Company also operated seven
primary care medical centers through Brevard and First Health. On
April 15, 1998, the Company sold substantially all the assets of
Brevard and First Health, thereby completing its transformation from a
"provider" of medical services through its primary care medical
centers to a "payor" for medical services by establishing and
operating a statewide HMO.
Throughout fiscal 1997, SunStar's management was active in developing
and obtaining certification for its HMO product. On February 24, 1997,
SHP was issued a Certificate of Authority by the Insurance Department
of the State of Florida to operate an HMO in various counties
throughout Florida in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 641,
Florida Statutes. The Company began accepting its first HMO members
effective May 1, 1997. Costs associated with the development of
SunStar's HMO, including management salaries and benefits,
administrative and other indirect costs, have been reflected as
selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
financial statements.
SunStar is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.001 per share. The preferred stock may be issued in one or
more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of
issuance by the Board of Directors. In April 1996, the Board of
Directors approved a 1.02857 for one stock split. As a result of the
stock split, NHHC holds 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock
representing a 36.8% interest. All share amounts have been
retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.
On May 15, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
Offering), pursuant to which the Company sold 1,300,000 shares of
previously unissued common stock, par value $.001. The Offering
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $5,230,372. On June 7,
1996, the underwriters in the Offering exercised their over-allotment
option to purchase additional shares of common stock, pursuant to
which the Company sold 195,000 shares of common stock, par value
$.001, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of
$853,125.

SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
-----------------------------------------------------
(a) Organization, continued
-----------------------
During fiscal year 1997, the Company paid $30,052 of additional stock
issuance costs related to the Offering which has been reflected as a
reduction of paid-in capital in the accompanying financial statements.
In November 1997, a consultant exercised stock options to purchase
50,000 shares of common stock at $.25 per share.
(b) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial results for the interim periods
presented. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, certain footnote disclosures which would
substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited
financial statements of the Company have been omitted from these
interim financial statements. Although the Company believes that the
disclosures presented below are adequate to make the interim financial
statements presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended July 31, 1997.
The formation of the Company has been accounted for as a
reorganization. Accordingly, the financial statements have been
prepared using NHHC's historical basis in the assets and liabilities
of First Health and Brevard (the Predecessor), including goodwill and
other intangibles recognized by NHHC in the acquisition of certain
companies. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
The financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows of the Company after the reorganization.
On April 15, 1998, the Company sold substantially all the assets of
Brevard and First Health, pursuant to a single Asset Purchase
Agreement. Accordingly, the results of operations for Brevard and
First Health for all periods presented are reported in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations under discontinued
operations. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has
agreed to assign the existing HCFA contract held by SHP to the buyer
subject to HCFA approval, thus, related HCFA revenues and program
costs have also been included in discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods
presented.

SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
-----------------------------------------------------
(c) Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company, through its primary care medical centers, recognized fee-
for-service revenues based on net realizable amounts due from patients
and third-party payors at the time medical services were rendered and
capitated fees for participating enrollees from outside HMOs during
the month of coverage regardless of utilization. Premium revenue for
prepaid health care under the Company's HMO is recognized as earned on
a pro rata basis over the contract period.
Health care costs relating to capitated fee arrangements from outside
HMOs are recognized as services are provided. Reimbursement for the
Company's participation under a federal third-party reimbursement
contract is based on cost reimbursement principles and is subject to
audit and retrospective adjustment. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements reflect an estimated settlement for open-year
cost reports subject to audit.
(d) Per Share Data
--------------
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," during the quarter ended January 31, 1998
and, accordingly, has restated all prior periods to conform with the
applicable provisions. Common stock options are not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect is
antidilutive due to the Company's net losses attributable to common
shares.
(e) Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
-----------------------------------------------
Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost and
depreciated over estimated useful lives of three to ten years on a
straight-line basis.
(f) Malpractice
-----------
The Company insures its malpractice risks on a claims-made basis. The
Company has secured claims-made coverage from August 1, 1997 through
April 15, 1998, with retroactive coverage through July 1, 1993. No
accrual for possible losses attributable to incidents which may have
occurred and not been identified under the Company's incident
reporting system has been made because management has not identified
any such incidents.
The Company carries "stop-loss" reinsurance to reimburse it for costs
resulting from catastrophic injuries or illnesses to its HMO members.
Premiums for these policies are reported as medical expense and
insurance recoveries, if any, are recorded as a reduction of medical
expenses. Under the excess loss reinsurance policies, recoveries are
made for claims of each enrollee or each covered dependent of each
enrollee, on an annual basis, in excess of the deductible established
in the policy subject to certain limitations. The deductible under
the policy for commercial healthcare claims is currently $50,000.

SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
-----------------------------------------------------
(g) Medical Claims Payable
----------------------
Medical claims payable consist of actual claims reported but not paid
and estimates of medical services incurred but not reported. The
medical claims payable is based on historical data, current
enrollment, health service utilization statistics, premium revenues
and other related information. These accruals are continually
monitored and reviewed. Changes in assumptions for medical costs
caused by changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to
change.
(h) Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial
statement amounts to conform to the current year's financial statement
presentation.
(2) Discontinued Operations
-----------------------
On April 15, 1998, the Company sold substantially all the assets of its
primary care medical centers, Brevard and First Health, pursuant to a
single Asset Purchase Agreement, to Brevard Medical Care, Inc for
$1,500,000 in cash. The assets sold consisted primarily of accounts
receivable, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and capital
lease commitments associated with these assets as well as physician and
other payor agreements. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Company also agreed to assign the existing HCFA contract held by SHP to
the buyer subject to HCFA approval. Assets excluded from the sale consist
of cash and cash equivalents. The Company retained substantially all
obligations and liabilities, except for those capital lease commitments
previously discussed, which arose from or in connection with operations
prior to the sales transaction. The results of operations for Brevard and
First Health and HCFA revenues and program costs for all periods presented
are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
under discontinued operations. The Company expects to utilize previously
generated net operating loss carryforwards to offset the tax effect of the
sale and, as such, has not recognized any tax expense or benefits resulting
from the sale.
Information with respect to discontinued operations is summarized as
follows:

Independent Accountants' Review Report
--------------------------------------
The Board of Directors
SunStar Healthcare, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SunStar
Healthcare, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of April 30, 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended April 30, 1998 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the nine-month period ended April 30, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
"FORWARD-LOOKING" INFORMATION
This report on Form 10-QSB contains certain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), which represent the Company's expectations and
beliefs, including, but not limited to statements concerning the Company's
expected growth. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate,"
"project," and similar expressions identify forward looking statements, which
speak only as of the date such statement was made. These statements by their
nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond
the Company's control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a
variety of important factors, including the Company's ability to forge
satisfactory relationships with physician groups and provider networks and
enroll sufficient numbers of HMO members; sources for sufficient additional
capital to meet the Company's growth and operations; the failure to properly
manage growth and successfully integrate additional physician groups and
providers; changes in economic conditions; demand for the Company's products;
and, changes in the competitive and regulatory environment. Future events and
actual results could differ materially from those expressed in, contemplated by,
or underlying any such forward-looking statements.
THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF APRIL 30, 1998
AND THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTERS AND NINE MONTH PERIODS
ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 AND 1997 SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPANY'S
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE DISCLOSURES PRESENTED BELOW ARE ADEQUATE
TO MAKE THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTED NOT MISLEADING, IT IS
SUGGESTED THAT THESE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BE
READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES
THERETO INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR
ENDED JULY 31, 1997.
GENERAL.
On February 24, 1997, SHP was awarded its HMO Certificate of Authority in the
State of Florida by the Department of Insurance. SHP accepted its first HMO
members effective May 1, 1997 in its initial service area of Brevard County,
Florida. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997, SHP accelerated its plans
to enter markets that the Company believed were under-served by its managed
health care competitors. Thus, SHP has rapidly expanded and been approved by
the State of Florida Agency for Health Care Administration ("AHCA") to offer its
HMO products in 39 counties in central, northern and southeastern Florida,
including the metropolitan areas of Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, Fort
Lauderdale and Palm Beach. As a result of this accelerated growth, development
costs have also been accelerated in the areas of advertising, marketing and
materials, personnel and related expenses. SHP intends to continue this rapid
expansion with the goal of offering its HMO products throughout the entire State
of Florida over the next twelve months. As of June 1, 1998, the Company provides
coverage to approximately 18,000 members in its current service areas. The
Company has also established a comprehensive delivery system of contractual
providers numbering approximately 9,000 physicians and 88 hospitals. The net
losses for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1998 are consistent with
management's expectations with respect to the costs associated with the related
start-up, development and expansion costs of an HMO.
As originally organized, the Company also provided managed healthcare services
pursuant to contractual arrangements, as well as on a fee-for-service basis,
through its seven primary care medical centers in central Florida. On April 15,
1998, the Company sold substantially all the assets of the primary care medical
centers and agreed to assign the existing HCFA contract held by SHP pursuant to
a single Asset Purchase Agreement, thereby completing the Company's
transformation from a "provider" of medical services through its primary care
medical centers to a "payor" for medical services by establishing and operating
a statewide HMO. The Company's divestiture of its medical centers will permit it
to focus its full attention and resources on the rapid expansion of SHP.

<PAGE>
SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Since accepting its first HMO members in May, 1997, the Company's initial focus
has been on the marketing and sale of its HMO product in the medically
underwritten, individual market. The majority of the Company's growth has come
from the sale of this product in the individual market. The Company's strategy
is to establish a sufficient base of customers for its HMO product in the
individual market within a geographic area, and then to broaden its focus to the
marketing and sale of its HMO product to include the small and large group
markets. The Company has already begun to broaden its focus in several of the
geographic areas in which the Company is currently licensed.

Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
Nine months ended April 30, 1998 compared to nine months ended April 30, 1997
Total revenues increased by approximately $3,624,000 from $279,000 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1997 to $3,903,000 for the nine months ended April 30,
1998. This increase is attributable to $3,750,000 of revenues generated by the
Company's HMO, which commenced operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997,
coupled with a decline in other revenues of $83,000 and lower interest income
of approximately $43,000.
As a result of the Company achieving its objective of obtaining an HMO
Certificate of Authority on February 24, 1997 and commencing the enrollment of
its members effective May 1, 1997, the Company realized $3,750,000 in HMO
premium revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 1998. The Company
anticipates that HMO premium revenues will rapidly increase over the next twelve
month period as the Company will continue to implement its accelerated growth
plan. However, there can be no assurance that such growth will occur as rapidly
as the Company expects. Consistent with the Company's initial HMO product focus
the mix of this revenue is approximately 78% individual, 13% small group and 9%
large group.
Other revenues declined as SHP was required to phase out its prepaid health
clinic product as a result of receiving its license to operate as an HMO.
Effective September 1, 1997, SHP no longer offers its prepaid health clinic
product.
HMO medical costs related to the Company's HMO products were $3,183,000 for the
nine months ended April 30, 1998, resulting in a medical loss ratio of
approximately 85%. HMO medical costs include amounts accrued for actual claims
reported but not paid and estimates of medical services incurred but not
reported. Total medical payments for all dates of service were approximately
$1,451,000, net of reinsurance premiums paid, for the period. The Company
anticipates that as HMO premium revenues increase, the amount of medical reserve
required as a percentage of HMO revenue will decrease. However, there can be no
assurance that such revenue growth or a decline in medical reserves as a
percentage of revenue will occur as the Company expects.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3,289,000 from
$1,248,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 to $4,537,000 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1998. These additional expenses were primarily incurred
in connection with the Company's accelerated expansion into additional Florida
markets, the development of marketing materials and increased infrastructure and
personnel to effect the Company's transformation into an HMO. The increase is
primarily the result of an increase in salaries and related benefits of
approximately $621,000, an increase in professional and outsourcing fees of
$525,000, marketing salaries, benefits and commission expense related to the HMO
product of $835,000, increased advertising expenses of $735,000, an increase in
occupancy, insurance, general office and related costs of approximately
$140,000, an increase in printing, postage and other selling costs related to
HMO operations of approximately $322,000 and an increase of approximately
$111,000 in other general and administrative expenses including costs related to
HMO enrollee medical records, benefit statements and other miscellaneous office
expenses.
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss from continuing operations increased
to $(3,890,000) for the nine months ended April 30, 1998 compared to $(975,000)
for the nine months ended April 30, 1997.
Income from discontinued operations increased by $41,000 from $53,000 for the
nine months ended April 30, 1997 to $94,000 for the current period. This
increase is primarily due to a decline in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of primary care center revenue from 26% for the nine
months ended April 30, 1997 to 24% for the nine months ended April 30, 1998.
Substantially all the assets of the primary care medical centers were sold on
April 15, 1998 for $1,500,000 in cash resulting in the recognition of a gain on
the sale of discontinued operations of $667,933.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.
- -----------------------------------------------------
At April 30, 1998 the Company had working capital of $1,940,000 as compared to
working capital of $4,116,000 at July 31, 1997. The decline in working capital
from fiscal 1997 is attributable primarily to the development and marketing
costs incurred in order to transform SHP into an HMO and the Company's expansion
of its initial service area.
Net cash used by operating activities was $(1,435,000) for the nine months ended
April 30, 1998, as compared to net cash used by operating activities of
$(825,000) for the nine months ended April 30, 1997. Net cash used by operating
activities in the current period was primarily attributable to the loss from
continuing operations of $(3,890,000) for the nine months ended April 30, 1998,
offset by an increase in the medical claims payable and reserves for incurred
but not reported claims of $1,630,000, additional cash received related to
unearned and deferred revenues of approximately $605,000 and an increase in the
Medicare estimated settlement of approximately $151,000.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended April 30,
1998 was approximately $1,356,000 as a result of proceeds from the sale of
discontinued operations and held-to-maturity investments of $1,500,000 and
$30,000, respectively, offset by purchases of new capital items of approximately
$(175,000).
The Company has reviewed the Year 2000 problem as it relates to the Company's
internal systems as well as those of its vendors and determined that it will not
have a material impact on its business, operations nor its financial condition.
Nevertheless, the Company's rapid expansion has resulted in an increasing number
of entities with which the Company does business. While the Company believes
that the Year 2000 issue will not have a material impact on the Company's
internal operations or those of its current vendors, there can be no guarantee
that the systems of other unrelated entities on which its systems and operations
rely, or on which its systems and operations may rely in the future, will be
corrected on a timely basis and will not have a material adverse impact on the
Company.

As of April 30, 1998, proceeds from the Offering of approximately $2,678,000
have been used as working capital to finance the HMO development effort. An
additional $452,000 of the Offering proceeds have been used to purchase
furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements.
During fiscal 1998 and beyond, the Company's liquidity will be affected by
continued accelerated HMO development, marketing and operation. As an HMO, SHP
is required to maintain a minimum capital surplus in an amount which is the
greater of $500,000 or 10% of total liabilities pursuant to Section 641 of the
Florida Insurance Code. At March 31, 1998, SHP's unaudited quarterly statutory
financial statements reflect an actual surplus of $685,000. The Company's cash
balances are currently maintained as a cash equivalent of a Money Market Trust
Fund which invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and
repurchase agreements relating to such securities.
HMO development costs will continue to be incurred by SHP throughout the
remainder of fiscal 1998 and into fiscal 1999 to establish arrangements with
physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers as well as develop
marketing materials and strategies necessary to operate and maintain HMO
operations in accordance with statutory requirements (which shall include the
costs of key employee's salaries and expenses).
Although the Company is unable to predict with any degree of certainty the
effect on the Company of its shift of business focus (e.g., from the provision
of primary care services under provider agreements to the establishment of
commercial HMO operations), it is possible that the Company's HMO operations
will not be sufficient to replace the revenues formerly generated by the primary
care medical centers. The Company may face increased competition from other HMOs
targeting the same areas of rapid expansion as the Company. There can be no
guarantee that increased competition will not adversely affect the Company's
plans for expansion or its existing operations. In addition, the Company's
operating expenses can be expected to increase significantly in connection with
the Company's proposed expansion, which will require the Company to make
significant up-front expenditures to further develop new provider relationships,
either contractually or otherwise, and pay salaries for additional personnel.
The Company anticipates that it will make additional capital expenditures
associated with, among other things, furniture, leasehold improvements and
office equipment. The Company expects to pay salaries for additional marketing,
development and other personnel to augment the Company's efforts to successfully
manage anticipated growth. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors
will not adversely affect the Company's future operating results.
The Company conducted an initial public offering in May, 1996 to provide funds
for its expansion plans. The net proceeds from such offering, approximating
$6,000,000, have been and will continue to be used to implement such expansion.
The Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions
relating to its operations (including the costs associated with, and the
accelerated timetable for, its proposed expansion), that remaining offering
proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy its net tangible asset requirements as
governed by Nasdaq and other equity requirements as governed by certain
regulatory entities including, without limitation, the Florida Department of
Insurance, AHCA and HCFA into the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. However,
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company intends to seek additional
capital to further fund the HMO development and expansion and continue to
satisfy the aforesaid net tangible asset and equity requirements. Such
additional capital may be accomplished through equity or debt financings. There
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company
on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company's available cash
resources are insufficient to allow the Company to engage in operations
sufficient to generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable operations, the
inability to obtain additional financing will have a material adverse effect on
the Company. Additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to
the interests of the Company's stockholders.

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT, made and executed as of the 15th day of April,
1998, by and among BREVARD MEDICAL CARE, INC., a Florida corporation (BMC).

generality of the foregoing, the Assets specifically include:

SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(m) All prepaid assets, including but not limited to, any deposits for
equipment, utilities, etc.
(n) HCPP capitation and fee-for-service revenue for the closing month
less any business expenses incurred for that month of the businesses provided
such expenses are less that than the revenue (see Exhibit 15.2).
(o) The HCPP contract (plan ID H6012) (see Exhibit 15) and the Plan's
membership as of 4/1/98 (see Exhibit 15.1) is in accordance with pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph 1.10(a) below.
1.2 EXCLUDED ASSETS. There shall be excluded from the Assets to be
---------------
transferred and conveyed hereunder, and Seller shall retain all of its right,
title and interest in and to, the following assets:
(a) All cash and cash equivalents of Seller in existence on the day
before the Closing Date with the exception of those identified in paragraph
1.1.(n).
(b) All business and financial records and files of Seller relating to

1.3 PURCHASE PRICE: ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. As consideration for the
------------------------------------------
sale of the Assets by Seller, BMC shall, on the date of execution and delivery
hereof, pay to the Seller One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($1,500,000) in immediately available funds ("Purchase Price"). The Purchase
Price shall be allocated to the purchase of the Assets as set forth on Exhibit
1.3 (a) attached hereto. The Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer into
an account designated by Seller. The parties recognize that the transfer of the
HCPP agreement to BMC or its designee is a significant factor in the Purchasers'
willingness to pay the agreed upon purchase price. The parties further
recognize that assigning a specific value to the transfer of that contract is
extremely difficult. Additionally the parties recognize that approval by HCFA
of the transfer will take an indeterminate period of time. While awaiting HCFA
approval, Seller and Businesses hereby agree that, effective as of April 1,
1998, as specified in section 1.10(a), the full benefit or burden of the HCPP
agreement shall flow to BMC or its designee. Moreover in the event approval is
not secured from HCFA, this agreement to assign the benefit or burden to BMC or
its designee shall remain in effect as long as the HCPP contract shall remain in
effect.
(a) Assumption of Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided herein,
-------------------------
BMC shall assume at the Closing Date, and shall perform or
discharge on or after the Closing Date, all of the contracts,
leases, commitments, obligations and liabilities of Seller which
are listed on Exhibit 4 attached hereto, except to the extent
that such contracts, leases, commitments, obligations and
liabilities are expressly excluded by virtue of the operation
of other provisions of this Agreement.
18
<PAGE>
SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, BMC
shall not be deemed to have assumed, nor shall BMC assume: (i)
any liability which may be incurred by reason of any breach of or
default under such contracts, leases, commitments or obligations
which occurred prior to the Closing Date; (ii) any liability for
any employee benefits payable to employees of Seller, including,
but not limited to, liabilities arising under any Seller or
Business Plans (as defined in Section 2.21 hereof) prior and up
to closing date; (iii) any liability based upon or arising out of
a violation of any antitrust or similar restraint-of-trade laws
by Seller, Businesses, or their employees, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such antitrust
liability which may arise in connection with agreements,
contracts, commitments or orders for the sale of goods or
provision of services by Seller or Businesses and reflected on
the books of Seller or Business at or prior to the Closing Date;
nor (iv) any liability based upon or arising out of any tortious
or wrongful actions of Seller, Businesses, or of any Shareholder,
employee, officer, or director of Seller or Businesses or any
liability for the payment of any taxes imposed by law on Seller
arising from or by reason of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
(b) Once HCFA approves the assignment of the HCPP agreement to BMC or
its designee, the Seller and the Purchaser shall enter into a
novation Agreement with respect to the HCPP contract whereby the
Seller warrants and represents its responsibility up to closing
data and BMC accepts responsibility for all income and expenses
after the clsoing date.
1.4 EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS.

physicians) who are employees of Seller and working at Businesses or who are
employees of Businesses, on the Closing Date.

terminated any employment contracts applicable to those persons who become
employed by BMC pursuant to Section 1.4(a) hereof; (ii) terminate the
participation of all such employees in all Seller or Business Plans, such
termination to be effected in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and all other applicable laws, rules
and regulations; and (iii) within the time periods allowable by law, cause the
Seller or Businesses Plans to make timely appropriate distributions, to the
extent required, to such employees in accordance with, and to the extent
permitted by, the terms and conditions of such Seller or Business Plans. Seller
will provide to BMC such copies of documents and other information related to

<PAGE>
SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Seller and Businesses will execute and deliver from time to time thereafter, at
the request of BMC, all such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and
further assurance as may reasonably be required in order to vest in and confirm
to BMC all of Seller and Businesses's right, title and interest in and to the
Assets.
1.9 ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS AND ASSETS; CONSENTS. Nothing in this
--------------------------------------------
Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to agree to assign any contract,
certificate, license or other Asset which is in law or by agreement
nonassignable without the consent of the other party or parties thereto, or of
any governmental authority, as the case may be, unless such consent shall be
given. Seller or Businesses will use their best efforts to obtain all such
necessary consents of the parties to any such contracts. In order, however,
that the full value of every such contact, certificate, license or other Asset
included within the Assets and all claims and demands in such contracts may be
realized, Seller and Businesses hereby covenant with BMC that Seller and/or
Businesses, by itself individually or collectively or by its agents, will at the
request and expense and under the direction of BMC, in the name of Seller or
Businesses or otherwise, as BMC shall specify and as shall be permitted by law,
take all such reasonable actions and do or cause to be done all such reasonable
things as shall, in the opinion of the BMC, be necessary or proper (a) in order
that the rights and obligations of Seller or Businesses under such contracts,
certificates, licenses and other Assets shall be preserved, and (b) for, and to
facilitate, the collection of the moneys due and payable, and to become due and
payable, to Seller or Businesses in and under every such contract and in respect
of every such claim and demand, and Seller and/or Businesses shall hold the same
for the benefit of, and shall pay the same over to BMC.
1.10 COOPERATION WITH REGULATORY APPROVALS. Seller and Businesses
-------------------------------------
shall cooperate with and assist BMC, as BMC shall reasonably request, in
obtaining the approval of all regulatory agencies and officials whose approval
is required for the transfer of all licenses and other regulatory approvals
required to enable BMC to purchase and operate the Assets.
(a) The parties specifically agree to work jointly to secure assignment of
SunStar Health Plan's Health Care Prepayment Plan contract to BMC or to another
entity as designated by BMC and to request HCFA state and/or Federal regulatory
approval of that transfer. SunStar Health Plan shall uses its best efforst to
continue to remain a contracting party to the Health Care Prepayment Plan
agreement until the assignment has been approved. Further, SunStar Health Plan
hereby agrees to contract exclusively with BMC for the provision of serving
applicable services pursuant to said contract and to reimburse promptly transfer
all monies received by SunStar Health Plan from HCFA to BMC for all applicable
costs or charges related to services rendered pursuant to said agreement.
21

SUNSTAR HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(b) BMC and SSHP agree to negotiate in good faith the final language of
SunStar Health Plan's "Value Plan" a risk bearing provider agreement presently
in effect between SunStar Health Plan, First Health, Inc., and Brevard Medical
Center, Inc., to convert said plan into an open access fee for service provider
agreement.
1.11 Restricitve Covenant.
(a) Seller and Businesses hereby agree that for a period of two years from the
date of this agreement none of them shall either own, operate, ;ease, or in
any other manner control any medical practices, health plan or any similar
businesses which would compete within Brevard county, Florida either
directly or indirectly with BMC or any of the businesses controlled by it
provided however it shall not be considered a violation of this provision
for Seller to operate an HMO or other insurance company.
(b) Seller and Businesses acknowledge that this restricitve convenant is
reasonable necessary to protect the BMC's legitimate business interests,
which are represented by, among other things, the substantial relationships
between the Corporation and its patients, referral sources, hospitals,
insurance companies and other third party payors, as well as the goodwill
established by the Corporation with patients, referral sources and hospital
