                    ADVANCE PARADIGM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information in the form prescribed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's
management, the September 30, 1999 and 1998 unaudited interim financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of results for this interim period. In the
opinion of the Company's management, the disclosures contained in this Form
10-Q are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in
conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999. The results of
operations for the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
or for any future period.

    The Company adopted SFAS 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information," effective April 1, 1998. This pronouncement changes
the requirements under which public businesses must report segment information.
The objective of the pronouncement is to provide information about a company's
different types of business activities and different economic environments.
SFAS 131 requires companies to select segments based on their internal
reporting system. The Company provides integrated health benefit management
services to its customers, and these services account for substantially all of
its net revenues. Such services are typically negotiated under one contract
with the customer. Therefore, the Company's operations will continue to be
reported in one segment.

2.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

         Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and dilutive shares outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of
the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations
are as follows:

3.   INCOME TAXES

     In the three months and six months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, the
Company's recorded income tax expense approximated an effective tax rate of
38%.

4.   ACQUISITIONS

         On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of
Foundation Health Pharmaceutical Services ("FHPS") for $70 million in cash and
warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of its $0.01 par value common stock. The
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
the results of operations of FHPS have been included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company since April 1, 1999. The


                                     - 6 -

purchase price was allocated to Goodwill, certain customer contracts and other
intangible assets. The purchase price allocation reflected in the accompanying
financial statements is preliminary. The Company's management is assessing the
net realizable value of certain contracts acquired and reviewing the assets
acquired for other intangible assets. As a result, the purchase price
allocation may be subsequently revised.

         The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of
operations of the Company as if the FHPS acquisition had taken place at the
beginning of the period presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

5. CONCENTRATION OF BUSINESS

         Effective April 1, 1999, the Company entered into a Pharmacy Benefit
Services Agreement with Foundation Health Systems, Inc. ("FHS"). Under the
terms of the Service Agreement the Company provides pharmacy services to FHS'
affiliated health plans. In the six months ended September 30, 1999, the
revenues generated under the service contract with FHS and by the
non-affiliated FHPS customers accounted for approximately 40% of the Company's
revenues.

6. DEBT

         On March 31, 1999, the Company entered into a senior credit facility
with a group of lenders. The credit facility consists of a $75 million,
three-year revolving credit facility. The Company borrowed $50 million under
the credit facility to fund the acquisition of FHPS. As of September 30, 1999,
$50 million was outstanding under the credit facility.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT  -  STOCK SPLIT

         On October 12, 1999, the Company announced a two-for-one stock split
of its common stock. The record date is November 11, 1999 and the date of
payment is November 30, 1999. The stock split is contingent upon shareholders'
approval of an increase in the Company's authorized common stock at the 1999
Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Financial information contained elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q has not been adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split.
Net income per share, after giving retroactive effect for the two-for-one stock
split, is presented below for all of the per share amounts disclosed in the

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     REVENUES. Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999
increased by $253.5 million, or 140%, compared to revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. Approximately 83% of the increase in revenues was
attributable to a 59% increase in the number of pharmacy claims processed
during the period. The increase in claims resulted from new contracts signed
throughout the last twelve months with new customers including the services
agreement with Foundation Health Systems, Inc. ("FHS"). Substantially all of
the new customers utilize our pharmacy network. In cases in which we have an
independent obligation to pay our network pharmacy providers, we include
payments from our plan sponsors for these benefits as revenues and payments to
our pharmacy providers as cost of revenues. Therefore, new customers that
utilize our network will generate higher revenues than new business where we
merely administer the customer's network. Approximately 12% of the increase in
revenues resulted from an increase in clinical services revenues derived from
formulary and disease management services as well as clinical trials. This
increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Foundation Health
Pharmaceutical Services ("FHPS") and the addition of other new customers. The
remaining 5% of the increase was attributable to additional sales of our mail
pharmacy services, resulting from a 25% increase in the number of mail
prescriptions dispensed.

     COST OF REVENUES. Our cost of revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased by $246.8 million, or 142%, compared to the same
period in 1998. This increase was attributable primarily to the additional
costs associated with our claims processing growth and the new customers that
are utilizing our retail pharmacy network, including the new business from FHS.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was approximately 96.7% in the
three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 95.9% in the same period in
1998. Revenues from claims processing services generate lower margins than
revenues from our other services.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Our selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased
by $2.0 million, or 60%, compared to the same period in 1998. This increase was
primarily the result of our acquisition of FHPS and the related amortization
expense associated with the intangible assets acquired. In addition, further
expansion in management, sales and marketing contributed to the increase. In
spite of the increase, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased from 1.8% for the three months ended September
30, 1998 to 1.2% in the same period in 1999 as the result of greater economies
of scale and due to the increase in revenues associated with our claims
processing services. Additional revenues generated by customers utilizing our
network pharmacy providers typically do not result in an increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

     INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, net of interest
income, for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased $1.5 million
compared to the same period in 1998. Interest expense increased as the result
of the acquisition of FHPS on March 31, 1999 and the related bank borrowings
throughout the quarter ended September 30, 1999. No debt was outstanding in the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.

     INCOME TAXES. For the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 our
recorded income tax expense approximated an effective tax rate of 38%.

     NET INCOME PER SHARE. We reported diluted net income per share of $.41 per
share for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $.27 per share
for the same period in 1998. The weighted average shares outstanding were 11.5
million and 12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and
1999, respectively. The increase in the weighted average shares resulted
primarily from the increase in our stock price which has resulted in more
options and warrants becoming dilutive securities. (See Note 2 for
calculation.)

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     REVENUES. Our revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1999
increased by $505.6 million, or 146%, compared to revenues for the six months
ended September 30, 1998. Approximately 82% of the increase in revenues was
attributable to a 64% increase in the number of pharmacy claims processed
during the period. The increase in claims resulted from new contracts signed
throughout the last twelve months with new customers including the services
agreement with FHS. Substantially all of the new customers utilize our pharmacy
network. In cases in which we have an independent obligation to pay our network
pharmacy providers, we include payments from our plan sponsors for these
benefits as revenues and payments to our pharmacy providers as cost of
revenues. Therefore, new customers that utilize our network will generate
higher revenues than new business where we merely administer the customer's
network. Approximately 13% of the increase in revenues resulted from an
increase in clinical services revenues derived from formulary and disease
management services as well as clinical trials. This increase was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of FHPS and the addition of other new
customers. The remaining 5% of the increase was attributable to additional
sales of our mail pharmacy services, resulting from a 31% increase in the
number of mail prescriptions dispensed.

     COST OF REVENUES. Our cost of revenues for the six months ended September
30, 1999 increased by $493.0 million, or 149%, compared to the same period in
1998. This increase was attributable primarily to the additional costs
associated with our claims processing growth and the new customers that are
utilizing our retail pharmacy network, including the new business from FHS. As
a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was approximately 96.8% in the six
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 95.8% in the same period in 1998.
Revenues from claims processing services generate lower margins than revenues
from our other services.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Our selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1999 increased
by $3.6 million, or 55%, compared to the same period in 1998. This increase was
primarily the result of our acquisition of FHPS and the related amortization
expense associated with the intangible assets acquired. In addition, further
expansion in management, sales and marketing contributed to the increase. In
spite of the increase, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased from 1.9% for the six months ended September
30, 1998 to 1.2% in the same period in 1999 as the result of greater economies
of scale and due to the increase in revenues associated with our claims
processing services. Additional revenues generated by customers utilizing our
network pharmacy providers typically do not result in an increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

     INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, net of interest
income, for the six months ended September 30, 1999 increased $2.9 million
compared to the same period in 1998. Interest expense increased as the result
of the acquisition of FHPS on March 31, 1999 and the related bank borrowings
throughout the six months ended September 30, 1999. No debt was outstanding in
the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

     INCOME TAXES. For the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 our
recorded income tax expense approximated an effective tax rate of 38%.

     NET INCOME PER SHARE. We reported diluted net income per share of $.79 per
share for the six months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $.51 per share
for the same period in 1998. The weighted average shares outstanding were 11.6
million and 12.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. The increase in the weighted average shares resulted primarily
from the increase in our stock price which has resulted in more options and
warrants becoming dilutive securities. (See Note 2 for calculation.)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    As of September 30, 1999, we had working capital of $7.9 million. Our net
cash provided by operating activities was $8.9 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 resulting primarily from net income and also due to the
timing of receivables and payables resulting from our continued growth. During
the six months ended September 30, 1999 we used cash of $8.0 million for
purchases of property, plant and equipment associated with the growth and
expansion of our systems and facilities.

    Historically, we have been able to fund our operations and continued growth
through cash flow from operations. We anticipate that cash flow from
operations, combined with our current cash balances and amounts available under
our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our internal operating
requirements and expansion programs, including capital expenditures, for at
least the next 18 months. However, if we successfully continue our expansion,
acquisition and alliance plans, we may be required to seek additional debt or
equity financing in order to achieve these plans. As of September 30, 1999,
$50.0 million was outstanding under the credit facility.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

    Our operations require our computer systems and information technology to
work effectively. In fiscal year 1998, we began addressing the year 2000 issue
by forming a year 2000 project team. The year 2000 issue is the result of
computer programs written using two digits rather than four digits to define
"date" fields. Information systems have time-sensitive operations that, as a
result of this date field limitation, could disrupt business activities in the
normal business cycle. For example, some computers that are not year 2000
compliant may interpret the year 2000 as the year 1900. This treatment could
result in significant miscalculations when processing critical date-sensitive
information relating to dates after December 31, 1999.


                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   14

    In the quarter ending June 30, 1998, we completed the "inventory" portion
of our year 2000 project. We documented all internal hardware, software or
equipment that was date-sensitive. In the quarter ending September 30, 1998, we
completed the second stage of the year 2000 project, which involved assessing
all of the items that had been "inventoried" to determine whether they were
year 2000 compliant. This assessment stage also included surveying all external
vendors and customers with whom we transact business to determine whether their
systems were year 2000 compliant. In the quarter ending December 31, 1998, we
completed the third stage of the year 2000 project, which involved the
development of code to convert systems that are not year 2000 compliant to year
2000 compliant systems. We successfully completed the implementation phase on
March 31, 1999 via upgrade or replacement of all non-compliant systems. While
all core systems are currently considered to be compliant, further maintenance
testing and certifications will continue throughout 1999.

    The potential impact of the year 2000 issue depends not only on the
corrective measures we have undertaken, but also on the ways in which the year
2000 issue is addressed by third parties with whom we interact or upon whom we
are dependent, including individual retail pharmacies, health plan sponsors and
pharmaceutical manufacturers. We believe that our greatest risk with respect to
year 2000 issues relates to failures by third parties to be year 2000
compliant. We cannot make any assurance that the software and systems of other
companies with which we transact business will become year 2000 compliant in a
timely manner. Any such failures could have a material adverse effect on our
systems and operations. With respect to the systems we directly use, we believe
our greatest exposure to the year 2000 issue involves our claims processing
operations, which rely on computers to process prescription claims. We have
installed a vendor upgrade and have had this system certified by a third party.
However, any failure of these systems to be year 2000 compliant may have a
material adverse effect on us.

    In the quarter ending September 30, 1999, we completed contingency plans
including reaction to worst-case scenarios. This document will continue to be
improved upon and added to through the remainder of 1999 to more fully address
risks both internal to our business processes and those presented from
interaction with business partners. Due to the inability to predict all of the
potential problems that may arise from the year 2000 issue, we cannot be sure
that we will be able to anticipate all contingencies.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is effective as of March 1,
1999 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Advance Paradigm, Inc. (the
"Company") and David A. George (the "Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement
pursuant to which the Company will employ Executive in the capacity of Executive
Vice President, for the period and on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1. EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES. The Company hereby employs Executive, and
Executive hereby accepts such employment, in the capacity of Executive Vice
President of the Company to act in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall devote
his best efforts and all of his business time, attention and skills to the
successful continuation of the business of the Company and he shall perform such
duties, functions, responsibilities and authority in connection with the
foregoing as are from time to time delegated to Executive by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. During the term of this Agreement, the parties agrees
that Executive will be based at the Company's corporate headquarters in Irving,
Texas, and that Executive will spend, on average, three (3) days per week at the
Company's headquarters in order to perform duties under this Agreement.

         2. TERM. The employment of Executive shall commence on the Effective
Date and shall end on the second anniversary thereof (the "Initial Term")
subject to automatic renewal for a period of one (1) year, unless either party
delivers written notice of its intent to terminate as of the second anniversary
of this Agreement at least 90 days prior to the date of such second anniversary,
or this Agreement is sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

         3. COMPENSATION. In consideration of the services to be rendered by
Executive to the Company hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to pay or
otherwise provide Executive the following compensation and benefits, it being
understood that the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom all taxes
which may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision
of applicable law (including but not limited to Social Security payments, income
tax withholding and other required deductions now in effect or which may become
effective by law any time during the term of this Agreement):

                  (a) SALARY. Executive shall receive an annual salary of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) with such increases thereto as may be
determined by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion ("Base
Salary"), to be paid in biweekly installments in



                                       1
<PAGE>   2

accordance with the Company's salary payment practices in effect from time to
time for Executives of the Company.

                  (b) ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. In addition to the Base Salary,
Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto.

                  (c) BENEFIT PLANS. Executive shall be entitled to participate
in any health, accident, disability and life insurance programs, and any other
fringe benefit program (including a 401(k) savings plan), which the Company may
adopt and implement for the benefit of the Company's Executives.

                  (d) EXPENSES. Executive shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the
fulfillment of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that Executive has
complied with all policies and procedures relating to the reimbursement of such
expenses as shall, from time to time, be established by the Company.

                  (e) VACATION AND SICK LEAVE. During the term of employment,
Executive shall be permitted to take vacations with such frequency and of such
duration as are consistent with the executive vacation policies of the Company
in effect on the date of this Agreement so long as the absence of Executive does
not interfere in any material respect with the performance by Executive of
Executive's duties hereunder. Executive shall also be entitled to sick leave
according to the sick leave policy which the Company may adopt from time to
time.

         4.       TERMINATION.

                  (a) DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive's death. If the Company determines in good
faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred (pursuant to the
definition of "Disability" set forth below), it may give to the Executive
written notice of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such
event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on
the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability
Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the
Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive's
duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness which is determined, by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the
Executive's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be
withheld unreasonably), to prevent Executive's substantial and continuous
performance of his obligations hereunder for a period of more than 12 weeks
after its commencement or for an aggregate of sixteen weeks in any 12-month
period.

                  (b) CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment for "Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means:



                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                           (i) an act or acts of personal dishonesty taken by
         the Executive at the expense of the Company,

                           (ii) a violation by the Executive of the Executive's
         obligations under this Agreement,

                           (iii) the conviction of the Executive of (A) a
         misdemeanor (other than traffic violations or similar misdemeanors)
         that adversely affects the Company's business, reputation or standing
         in the community, or (B) a felony,

                            (iv) failure to meet reasonable, written performance
         criteria for the Executive's position as established by the Company
         from time to time, or

                           (v) breach of Executive's representation set forth in
         Section 11 of this Agreement.


                  (c) WITHOUT CAUSE. The Company may, at its option, terminate
Executive's employment without Cause at any time upon written notice to
Executive.

                  (d) GOOD REASON. The Executive's employment may be terminated
by the Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason"
means:

                           (i) The Company causes Executive's position,
         authority, duties or responsibilities to be reduced from the position
         described in Section 1 of this Agreement;

                           (ii) Any material failure by the Company to comply
         with the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement other than
         immaterial or isolated failures that do not occur in bad faith and are
         remedied by the Company promptly upon notice given by the Executive;

                           (iii) Any termination by the Company of the Executive
         otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

                  (e) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Company
shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the Executive hereto given in
accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a
"Notice of Termination" means a written notice which

                           (i) indicates the specific termination provision in
         this Agreement relied upon,

                            (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
         circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
         Executive's employment under the provision so indicated, and

                           (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
         is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the
         termination date.

                  (f) DATE OF TERMINATION. "Date of Termination" means the date
of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as
the case may be; provided, however, that

                             (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by
         the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination
         shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such
         termination, and

                            (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by
         reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the
         date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the
         case may be.

         5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UPON TERMINATION.

                  (a) DEATH. If the Executive's employment is terminated by
reason of the Executive's death, this Agreement shall terminate without further
obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this Agreement, other
than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by the
Executive as of the Date of Termination, including, for this purpose the
obligation to pay the Executive

                             (i) the Base Salary through the Date of Termination
         at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination (the "Base Salary"),

                            (ii) the amount of any bonus earned by the Executive
         through the Date of Termination, and

                           (iii) any compensation previously deferred by the
         Executive (together with accrued interest, if any, thereon) and not yet
         paid by the Company and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the
         Company (such amounts specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are
         hereinafter referred to as "Accrued Obligations").

                  All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive's
estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of
the Date of Termination.

                  (b) DISABILITY. If the Executive's employment is terminated by
reason of the Executive's Disability, this Agreement shall terminate without
further obligations to the



                                       4

Executive, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if
applicable) by the Executive as of the Date of Termination, including for this
purpose, all Accrued Obligations. All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to
the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.
Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive
disability benefits provided by the Company to disabled Executives or their
families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies
relating to disability, if any, in effect on the Disability Effective Date.

                  (c) CAUSE. If the Executive's employment shall be terminated
for Cause, the Company's obligations to the Executive shall terminate other than
the obligation to pay to the Executive the Base Salary through the Date of
Termination plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the
Executive, if any, consistent with Company policy.

                  (d) OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE, DISABILITY, OR DEATH. If the
Executive's employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause, death or
disability, the Company shall continue in accordance with the Company's normal
payroll procedures to pay Executive his Base Salary for a period of twelve (12)
months from the Date of Termination. Any amounts payable to Executive under this
Section 5(d) shall be reduced and offset by the amount of any compensation
received by Executive for other employment during the severance period. During
the severance period, Executive shall use his best efforts to find employment
consistent with the covenants of Executive in Section 6, 7 and 8 of this
Agreement.

                  (e) STOCK OPTIONS. Executive shall have three (3) months from
the Date of Termination to exercise any vested but unexercised options
previously granted to Executive to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock. Any such exercise will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the applicable stock option plan and stock option agreement.

employment and for the one (1) year period following the termination of
Executive's employment by the Company, Executive shall not, directly or
