                    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, 2000 and 1999 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, 2000. The results of operations
for the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for
any future period.

    The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
restated, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16, to give retroactive effect, for
all periods presented, to the combination of the Company and FFI Health Services
on July 5, 2000, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. See
Note 2.

  In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133") was issued.  SFAS
133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as either assets or liabilities in
the statement of financial position and measured at fair value.  In addition,
SFAS 133 specifies the accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
based on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.  The
Company does not have any derivatives and SFAS 133 does not  have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or disclosures.  SFAS 133, as amended
by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138, is effective beginning in fiscal year March 31, 2002.

  In December 1999, the Commission staff issued SAB 101 "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements".  SAB 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles to revenues recognition issues in financial statements.
SAB 101 is effective in our fourth fiscal quarter of 2001.  Management is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 101. In connection with our
recent acquisitions, the Company is evaluating certain aspects of SAB 101
including gross vs. net reporting of certain revenues. Net reporting of these
revenues would have no effect on operating income.

2.  MERGER WITH FFI HEALTH SERVICES

    On July 5, 2000 the Company completed a merger with FFI Health Services
which is a privately held health benefit management and direct-to-consumer
pharmaceutical marketing services company. FFI Health Services includes the
operations of the affiliated companies, First Florida International Holdings,
Inc., Phoenix Communications International, Inc., Innovative Pharmaceutical
Strategies, Inc., HMN Health Services, and Mature Rx Plus of Nevada, Inc.
(collectively "FFI"). FFI, based in Cleveland, Ohio, offers several pharmacy-
related product lines marketed under the names aVidaRx (C) , femScript (C) ,
MatureRx (C)-Plus to under-insured or uninsured individuals, women, and senior
citizens. In addition, FFI provides prescription benefit management services to
employees and third party administrators. The Company issued 3.5 million shares
of its common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of FFI.

    The merger constituted a tax-free reorganization and has been accounted for
as a pooling of interests under APB No.16.  Total combination related costs and
provisions are estimated to be approximately $1,200,000 and are reflected as an
expense in the post-combination accounting period, the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000.

   The table below presents a reconciliation of revenues and net income, as
reported in the consolidated statements of operations, with those previously
reported by the Company.  The references to API in this table are to the
Company's historical operating results prior to the merger with FFI.

3.  NET INCOME PER SHARE


    Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted net income per
share is computed in the same manner as basic net income per share but includes
the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding for the
period if the other dilutive securities had been issued. The difference between
the number of weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted calculation
for all periods are outstanding stock options and stock warrants, all calculated
under the "treasury stock" method in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".


4.  INCOME TAXES

    In the three months and six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, the
Company's recorded income tax expense approximated an effective tax rate of 38%.
The Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $274,000 in connection with
the merger costs of $1.2 million reflected in the quarter ended September 30,
2000.


5.  STOCK SPLIT

    On October 12, 1999, the Company announced a two-for-one stock split,
effected in the form of a stock dividend of our Common Stock. The record date
was November 11, 1999 and the date of payment was November 30, 1999. Financial
information and stock prices contained throughout the Form 10-Q have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split in all periods
presented.


6.  ACQUISITIONS

    Effective October 1, 2000, Advance Paradigm, Inc. acquired all of the equity
of PCS Holding Corporation ("PCS").  The aggregate purchase price paid by the
Company was $1.0 billion, of which API paid Rite Aid Corporation ("Rite Aid"),
the seller, $675 million in cash, and issued to Rite Aid $200 million in senior
subordinated notes and $125 million in the Company's convertible preferred
stock.  The cash portion of the purchase price was financed with the proceeds of
an $825 million senior secured credit facility and $150 million in equity
financing committed by Joseph, Littlejohn & Levy, Inc. ("JLL").  The acquisition
of PCS will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  The
excess of the purchase price paid over the net identifiable assets and
liabilities of PCS will be recorded as goodwill.  The portion of the purchase
price allocated to the net identifiable assets and goodwill is preliminary and
subject to revision following the results of an appraisal and further
identification of intangible assets.

6.  DEBT

    In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of PCS the Company obtained an
$825 million senior secured credit facility which includes a $175.0 million
revolving credit facility, $100 million interim revolving credit facility, and
two term notes totaling $550.0 million. The term notes are due on October 2,
2005 and October 2, 2007. The $175 million revolving credit facility accrues
interest at LIBOR plus 3%. The term notes accrue interest at LIBOR plus 3% and
LIBOR plus 3.5%. The Company intends to refinance the $100 million interim
revolving credit facility with a collateralized accounts receivable facility by
January 2001. The secured credit facility replaced the $75.0 million, three year
revolving credit facility. The senior secured credit facility contains covenants
which are typical for this type of document. In addition, the Company issued to
Rite Aid $200 million in senior subordinated notes that accrue interest at
11% through April 2002, 12% from April 2002 to October 2002 and 13% thereafter.
The Company also issued Rite Aid $125 million in convertible preferred stock,
convertible into a class B common stock subject to shareholder approval. In
addition, the Company issued $150 million in common stock and preferred
convertible stock to JLL.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1999

    Revenues.  Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000
increased by $164.6 million, or 36%, compared to revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1999.  Approximately 80% of the increase in revenues was
attributable to a 32% increase in the number of pharmacy claims processed during
the period.  The increase in claims resulted from increased utilization from new
contracts signed throughout the last twelve months with customers including
Foundation Health Systems, Inc. ("FHS"), the company's largest customer.
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.  The increase in
claims resulted from strong growth in new customers and from an increase in
member lives from existing customers. Approximately 10% 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. The
remaining 10% 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.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

    Cost of Revenues.  Our cost of revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2000 increased by $161.1 million, or 37%, compared to the same period in
1999. 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 96.6% in the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 96.2% in the same period in 1999.
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, 2000 decreased
by $1.0 million, or 11%,  compared to the same period in 1999.  This decrease is
due to the merger with FFI in July 2000.  In the three months ended September
30, 1999 FFI was accounted for as a Sub-chapter S corporation.  Compensation of
officers and owners were reflected as selling, general and administrative
expenses.  In the three months ended September 30, 2000 the FFI officers were
employed under employment contracts paying less than their compensation in
previous years. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to
1.4% in the same period in 2000 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, 2000 decreased only $78,000
compared to the same period in 1999.

    Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 our
recorded income tax expense approximated an effective tax rate of 38%.  The
effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was higher than 38%
because the effective benefit rate relating to the merger costs was
approximately 22.8%

    Net Income Per Share. We reported diluted net income per share of $.22 per
share for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $.16 per share
for the same period in 1999.  The weighted average shares outstanding were 28.2
million and 28.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The increase in net income per share is attributable to the items
discussed above.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30,
1999

    Revenues. Our revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2000 increased
by $338.6 million, or 38%, compared to revenues for the six months ended
September 30, 1999. Approximately 79% of the increase in revenues was
attributable to a 41% increase in the number of pharmacy claims processed during
the period. The increase in claims resulted from increased utilization from new
contracts signed throughout the last twelve months with customers including FHS,
the company's largest customer. 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. The remaining 9% of the increase was
attributable to additional sales of our mail pharmacy services, resulting from a
21% increase in the number of mail prescriptions dispensed.

    Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues for the six months ended September
30, 2000 increased by $330.4 million, or 39%, compared to the same period in
1999. 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 96.5% in the six
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 96.1% in the same period in 1999.
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, 2000 increased by
$2.3 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 1999. In spite of the
increase, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 2.0% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 1.7%
in the same period in 2000 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, 2000 increased only $109,000
compared to the same period in 1999.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

    Income Taxes. For the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 our
recorded income tax expense approximated an effective tax rate of 38%.  The
effective rate for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was somewhat higher
than 38% because the effective benefit rate relating to the merger costs was
approximately 22.8%.

    Net Income Per Share. We reported diluted net income per share of $.44 per
share for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $.34 per share for
the same period in 1999.  The weighted average shares outstanding were 28.0
million and 27.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The increase in net income per share is attributable to the items
discussed above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of September 30, 2000, we had working capital of $14.4 million. Our net
cash provided by operating activities was $28.1 million for the six months ended
September 30, 2000 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, 2000 we used cash of $14.3 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.

Subsequent Acquisition and Financing

    In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of PCS the Company obtained an
$825 million senior secured credit facility which includes a $175.0 million
revolving credit facility, $100 million interim revolving credit facility, and
two term notes totaling $550.0 million. The term notes are due on October 2,
2005 and October 2, 2007. The $175 million revolving credit facility accrues
interest at LIBOR plus 3%. The term notes accrue interest at LIBOR plus 3% and
LIBOR plus 3.5%. The Company intends to refinance the $100 million interim
revolving credit facility with a collateralized accounts receivable facility by
January 2001. The secured credit facility replaced the $75.0 million, three year
revolving credit facility. The senior secured credit facility contains covenants
which are typical for this type of document. In addition, the Company issued to
Rite Aid $200 million in senior subordinated notes that accrue interest at 11%
through April 2002, 12% from April 2002 to October 2002 and 13% thereafter. The
Company also issued Rite Aid $125 million in convertible preferred stock,
convertible into a class B common stock. In addition, the Company issued $150
million in common stock and preferred convertible stock to JLL. Class B common
stock is subject to shareholder approval at the annual meeting of shareholders
scheduled for December 7, 2000.

Risk Factors

    In connection with our recent acquisition of PCS, you should also carefully
consider the following risk factors, as well as the discussion of our
acquisition of PCS contained in the definitive proxy statement filed on November
6, 2000.

We may not realize the benefits of integrating with PCS or be successful in
managing our combined company.

    Our acquisition of PCS was consummated on October 2, 2000.  Unless our
management is successful in integrating and managing the employees and assets
acquired in the transaction in a cost-efficient manner, we will not be able to
realize or maintain the operating efficiencies and other benefits sought from
the transaction.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully
integrate our operations with those of PCS, or that we can successfully manage
the combined company, and the failure to do so could harm our business.

We have substantial debt obligations that could restrict our operations.

    To finance our acquisition of PCS, we, among other things, entered into an
$825 million senior secured credit facility and issued to Rite Aid $200 million
in senior subordinated notes.  As of June 30, 2000, on a pro forma basis giving
effect to our acquisition of PCS and our acquisition of FFI on July 5, 2000, our
outstanding debt was approximately $820 million and our ratio of debt to total
stockholders' equity was approximately 2.2 to 1.

Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, including:

        .  increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry
           conditions;
        .  limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in
           our business and the industry in which we operate;
        .  placing us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have
           less debt; and
        .  limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

Further, failing to comply with our debt covenants could result in an event of
default which, if not cured or waived, could adversely affect us.

    In addition, approximately $620 million of our outstanding debt bears
interest at a variable rate. Economic conditions could result in higher interest
rates, which could increase debt service requirements on variable rate debt. Our
debt service requirements will require the use of a substantial portion of our
operating cash flow to pay interest on our debt instead of other corporate
purposes.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

New investors own a significant amount of our stock, giving them influence over
corporate transactions and other matters.

    In connection with our acquisition of PCS, we issued to JLL, and certain
other investors, (i) 65,854 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock, (ii) six
shares of Series B preferred stock and (iii) 4,207,000 shares of common stock.
In addition, we issued to Rite Aid 125,000 shares of Series A-2 preferred stock.
Although the Series A-1 and Series A-2 preferred stock is not presently
convertible into our common stock, at the 2000 annual meeting of our
stockholders, we are seeking approval of our stockholders to permit such
conversion. Assuming all shares of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series B preferred
stock are converted into common stock at the current conversion prices set forth
in the certificates of designations for the preferred stock, JLL would
beneficially own 19.2% of our common stock, Rite Aid would beneficially own
16.1% of our common stock and together they would own approximately 35.3% of our
common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders may be able to substantially
influence the outcome of stockholder votes and otherwise influence us. In
addition, JLL and Rite Aid, as holders of the preferred stock, have the right to
designate four of our eleven directors and we cannot take certain actions
without their consent. You should carefully review our definitive proxy
statement for the 2000 annual meeting of stockholders filed on November 6, 2000
for a detailed discussion of our acquisition of PCS and the rights of the
holders of preferred stock.

Certain proposals to be voted on at our 2000 annual meeting of stockholders will
substantially affect our common stock.

    At our 2000 annual meeting of stockholders currently scheduled for December
7, 2000, we are asking our stockholders to, among other things:

        .  consider and vote upon a proposal to amend and restate our
           certificate of incorporation to, among other things, create classes
           of common stock to be denominated Class A, Class B-1 and Class B-2,
           reclassify the existing common stock as Class A common stock,
           increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and change
           the governance structure of our board of directors, and

        .  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the issuance of shares
           of Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock upon conversion
           of the Series A preferred stock recently issued in connection with
           our acquisition of PCS.

Item 1 is not applicable

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On July 5, 2000 in connection with our acquisition of FFI, we issued 3.5 million
shares of our common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of FFI.
The transaction did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or
commissions, or any public offering, and we believe that it was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue
of Section 4 (2) and Rule 506 thereunder on the basis that the transaction was
privately negotiated with a limited number of sophisticated persons who took the
shares subject to restrictions on resale.  A registration statement under the
Act for the resale of these securities became effective on November 8, 2000.

Items 3-5 are not applicable.
