                           THE RECOVERY NETWORK, INC.
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1998



NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION


            The  accompanying   unaudited   condensed   consolidated   financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles for interim financial  statements and the instructions to Form 10-QSB
related to interim period  financial  statements.  Accordingly,  these condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  do  not  include  certain  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  only  of  normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management,  are necessary in order
to present  the  financial  statements  fairly.  The results of  operations  for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. The Company's condensed  consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's  Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No.
333-27787) that became effective on September 29, 1997.


NOTE B -- ACQUISITION OF FMS

          On December 10, 1997,  The Recovery  Network,  Inc.,  (the  "Company")
acquired  100  percent  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  common  stock  of FMS
Productions,  Inc. ("FMS") for total  consideration  of $225,490.  Consideration
included  44,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  valued at $209,000 or
($4.75  per share)  and cash  payment  totaling  $34,383,  less  $17,893 of cash
received from FMS. In conjunction with the acquisition, which has been accounted
for under the purchase method, assumed liabilities were as follows:

      Fair value of assets acquired, excluding cash ................  $ 542,074
      Net cash payment .............................................    (16,490)
      Value of Company's common stock issued .......................   (209,000)
                                                                      ---------
      Liabilities assumed ..........................................  $ 316,584
                                                                      =========

          The unaudited condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for the
nine-month  period ended March 31, 1998  includes the  operating  results of FMS
from  December  10,  1997  (the  acquisition   date)  to  March  31,  1998.  All
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

          The pro forma results of operations for the  nine-month  periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997  (reflecting  all  adjustments  which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation) as if the FMS acquisition and
the  Company's  October  3,  1997  initial  public  offering  (the  "IPO")  were
consummated on July 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively, are as follows:

NOTE C -- LOSS PER SHARE

            Effective  December 31, 1997,  the Company  adopted the Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128  "Earnings Per Share." The adoption of
this standard had no effect on the loss per share  calculations  for the periods
presented.

            Net loss per share and loss per share assuming dilution are based on
the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  and dilutive  common
stock equivalents during the periods presented. Options and warrants to purchase
3,378,282  shares of common  stock (at prices  ranging from $0.77 to $5.50) were
outstanding  as of March 31, 1998 and excluded from the  computation of loss per
share assuming dilution for periods subsequent to June 30, 1997 as they would be
anti-dilutive.

NOTE D -- SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS DISCLOSURE

            The Company prepares its statements of cash flows using the indirect
method as  defined  under  SFAS No.  95,  "Statement  of Cash  Flows."  Required
non-cash transaction disclosures are as follows:

            For the nine-months ended March 31, 1998, deferred offering costs of
$573,578 were recorded against proceeds from the IPO. Deferred offering costs of
$40,000,  paid to the  underwriters,  were credited toward a two year consulting
agreement  and recorded in other assets.  Company  common stock of 44,000 shares
was issued in connection with the acquisition of FMS.

            As of March 31, 1997,  the Company  issued shares of common stock in
connection  with the conversion of $270,000 of notes payable,  the settlement of
deferred compensation of $74,000 and amounts due to consultants and shareholders
for both past and future services of $137,500.


NOTE E -SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS RISK

            Lack of Operating History

            The Company has  recurring  losses from  operations  and has minimal
operating  revenues.  The ability of the Company to generate positive  operating
results  is  dependent  upon its  ability  (i) to obtain  sufficient  additional
capital,  (ii) to distribute  programming  and services  through  multiple media
channels,  (iii) to achieve a  critical  mass of  viewers  necessary  to attract
advertisers  and  (iv)  to  acquire  or  develop  appropriate   programming  for
broadcast.  The Company  intends to raise  additional  working  capital  through
private and/or public  offerings.  The successful  outcome of future  activities
cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved,
the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended  business plan or
generate positive operating results.

            Government Regulations

            The cable television industry is subject to extensive and frequently
changing  federal,  state and local laws and substantial  regulation under these
laws by governmental agencies,  including the Federal Communications  Commission
(the "FCC").  Regulations governing the rates that can be charged to subscribers
by cable  systems not in markets  subject to  effective  competition  from other
multichannel  video program  distributors  could adversely affect the ability of
cable systems with limited channel  capacity to finance  rebuilding or upgrading
efforts to increase channel capacity or otherwise  restrict their ability to add
new  programming  such  that  offered  by  the  Company.  In  addition,  federal
"must-carry"  rules requiring cable operators to devote up to one-third of their
channels to carriage of local  commercial TV broadcast  stations and  additional
channels for  noncommercial  educational TV stations;  commercial  leased access
rules  designating  up to 10 to 15  percent  of  system  channels  for  lease by
unaffiliated  programmers;  and local regulatory  requirements mandating further
channel  set-asides for public,  governmental  and  educational use could reduce
channel  availability  which might  otherwise  be  available  for the  Company's
programming on many cable systems.  Statutory provisions and FCC rules governing
relationships  among cable systems and  competing  forms of  multichannel  video
program distribution, as well as the relations between the Company and its cable
system  affiliates  could adversely  affect the  marketability  of the Company's
programming  and the  flexibility  of the Company in its business  dealings with
outlets for its  programming.  Although  program  providers that do not hold FCC
licenses or operate distribution outlets, such as the Company's offerings of The
Recovery Network and Recovery Radio, are outside the FCC's direct  jurisdiction,
the cable  systems and radio  stations  that carry the  Company's  programs  are
regulated by the FCC and, therefore, are subject to its rules and policies, such
as those relating to sponsorship identification, broadcast of indecent language,
provision of equal  opportunities for political  candidates and related measures
pertaining to program content and format.  Failure of the Company's  programs to
comply with one or more of these rules could  subject the cable systems or radio
stations  to FCC fine or other  sanction  and thus  could  adversely  affect the
Company's   relationship   with  such   entities   and   could   result  in  the
discontinuation of carriage of the Company's programming by such entities.

            Dependence upon Access Television Network ("ATN," a related company)

            ATN's  subscribers  currently  represent  substantially  all  of the
households that receive the Company's programming. The company is dependent upon
ATN to deliver its programming to ATN's subscribers and to provide the necessary
services to enable the Company to deliver its programming  through cable systems
with which the  Company  directly  enters  into  affiliation  agreements.  It is
possible that ATN or its affiliates could experience delivery  interruptions and
equipment  failures,  which  could last for a  significant  period of time.  The
Company's  prospects  will be affected by ATN's ability to maintain its existing
subscriber  base and to enter into  additional  affiliation  agreements to ATN's
subscriber base.  Moreover,  the Company's agreement with ATN expires August 31,
1998 unless renewed by both parties.


ITEM 2.  PLAN OF OPERATION.

            The following  discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein.

GENERAL

            In April 1997, the Company nationally launched The Recovery Network,
a cable  television  network.  Pursuant  to a  nesting  contract  (the  "Nesting
Contract")  with ATN, ATN provides  satellite  uplink,  master control and other
related  services on its satellite  transponder to The Recovery  Network for two
hours of telecast time every day to  subscribers of cable systems with which ATN
has  affiliation  agreements,  and to systems  with which the Company has direct
affiliation agreements.  Currently, The Recovery Network is telecast one hour in
the morning to approximately 11 million  subscribers and one hour in the evening
to approximately 6 million  subscribers.  In addition to the distribution  under
the Nesting Contract, the Company is seeking two hours of broadcast time per day
in other local cable systems in a large number of markets.  The Company believes
it has  identified  all local cable  systems in the United  States with at least
50,000  subscribers and is engaged in a general marketing  campaign  ("affiliate
marketing")  directed at those 259 systems. The Company is also targeting a more
focused affiliate  marketing effort on 11 major cities whose communities contain
103 of those 259 systems.

            On February 26, 1998, the Company  executed a contract to extend its
current agreement with ATN. The extension  provides for an extension of services
on a month-to-month basis through and until August 31, 1998, at a monthly fee of
$65,000  and a one-time  payment of  $150,000  to  reflect  unanticipated  costs
incurred by ATN in the course of  performance  under the nesting  contract.  The
Company is currently  negotiating,  and anticipates concluding a contract, for a
satellite transponder to broadcast its programming, after the extension with ATN
expires.

            To date, the Company has incurred significant net losses,  including
net losses of $1,223,829,  $3,817,652,  $2,286,273, and $5,210,003 for the years
ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 and the nine-months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.  The  Company  anticipates  that it will  generate  revenues  from
advertising sales on The Recovery Network and Recovery Talk Radio, merchandising
recovery-related  products and services on The Recovery  Network,  Recovery Talk
Radio,  and by seeking  sponsorships  for its  programming and from license fees
from cable systems for its programming. The Company does not expect that it will
generate any  meaningful  revenues from fees until such time, if ever,  that The
Recovery Network enters into affiliation agreements providing the Company with a
significant  subscriber base. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to enter into  affiliation  agreements  with  local  cable  systems  with a
sufficient number of subscribers,  achieve significant viewer loyalty or attract
advertisers for The Recovery Network,  generate  meaningful  revenues or achieve
profitable  operations.  The Company also anticipates that Recovery  Interactive
will generate revenue from monthly  subscriber fees from managed care companies,
insurance  companies and employers for delivering  mental and behavioral  health
benefits to covered individuals, advertising and merchandising.

            On  August  18,  1997,  the  Company  entered  into  an  contractual
agreement  with the United  States  Government  agency,  the federal  Center for
Substance   Abuse   Prevention   ("CSAP").   The   contract,   with   subsequent
modifications,  provides  that CSAP will pay the  Company  the amount of $49,900
over  a   six-to-nine-month   period  as  compensation  for  a  certain  set  of
deliverables.  The  deliverables  pursuant  to the  contract  include a detailed
financial plan, the creation and  organization of a national cable event,  later
modified to special cable programming through the Company,  organizational plans
for a National Day of  Sobriety,  and  community-related  events to support drug
prevention.  The contract was  completed on February 28, 1998,  when the Company
presented the final deliverables.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            The Company's primary capital requirements in the next twelve months
will  be to  fund  the  costs  of its  affiliate  marketing  efforts,  sales  of
advertising time and producing its  programming,  satellite  transponder  costs,
costs for uplink, master control and transmission  services, and working capital
expenses.

            The Company's capital requirements have been and will continue to be
significant  and its cash  requirements  have been  exceeding its cash flow from
operations.  At March 31,  1998,  the Company had a working  capital  surplus of
$2,359,193.  Due to, among other things, the lack of meaningful revenues,  costs
associated with program development and affiliate marketing efforts, the Company
has been substantially dependent upon various private placements and its initial
public offering to fund its operations.

            During the period from  November  1995  through  March 1, 1997,  the
Company  issued in private  placements  745,674 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $.77 per share to $3.48 per share for net proceeds of approximately
$1,433,767. Additionally, the Company raised debt proceeds of $310,000 through a
private  placement.  Of these debt proceeds raised,  $250,000 was converted into
71,033  shares of common stock and $60,000 was repaid as of June 30, 1997.  Upon
conversion and repayment of debt,  warrants to purchase 157,563 shares of common
stock were issued. Warrants to purchase 142,065 shares of common stock have been
exercised for $330,000.  A warrant to purchase  15,498 shares of common stock at
$3.87 per share  remains  outstanding.  Also,  during  this  period,  options to
purchase  73,615 shares of common stock were  exercised  for  $171,000.  See the
Company's  registration  statement  on Form SB-2 dated  September  29,  1997 for
specifics of these financing activities.

            In March and April 1997, the Company  completed a private  financing
(the  "private  financing")  pursuant  to which it  issued an  aggregate  of (i)
$2,000,000 principal amount of unsecured non-negotiable promissory notes bearing
interest at the rate of 9% per annum,  which were repaid out of the  proceeds of
the Company's initial public offering;  (ii) 400,000 shares of Common Stock; and
(iii)  warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $5.50 per share.  The offering price was $50,000 per Financing
Unit.  After  payment of $200,000 in  placement  agent fees to the  Underwriter,
which acted as placement  agent for the Company in  connection  with the Private
Financing,  and other offering expenses of approximately  $262,000,  the Company
received net proceeds of approximately $1,538,000 from the sale of the Financing
Units.  The net proceeds of the Private  Financing were used by the Company for,
among other  things,  an affiliate  marketing  campaign in  connection  with the
national launch of The Recovery Network, programming expenses for the production
of "Full  Circle",  "Testimony"  and  "Bottoms," a capital  contribution  in the
amount of  $200,000  to  Recovery  Interactive  and  payments  under the Nesting
Contract  with ATN in the  amount of  $102,000.  The  Company  repaid the entire
principal  amount of, and accrued interest on, the Financing Notes subsequent to
September 30,1997 with proceeds received from the IPO.

            During July and August 1997, the Company issued the Promissory Notes
with an aggregate principal amount of $605,250 to five lenders. The Company paid
to each lender a loan origination fee in an amount equal to 5% of the Promissory
Notes, or approximately  $30,300.  The Promissory Notes plus $95,000 of interest
thereon were repaid on October 3, 1997.  The net  proceeds  from the issuance of
the  Promissory  Notes  were used for  working  capital.  The  Company  incurred
financing   costs  during  the  nine-month   period  ended  March  31,  1998  of
approximately  $765,000  relating to Private Financing and Promissory Notes. The
net proceeds received from the initial public offering were $10,141,757, and the
amount of said proceeds utilized by March 31, 1998 was approximately  $7,450,000
used principally to repay debt and pay operating expenses.

            The  Company  anticipates  that the net  proceeds  from its  initial
public  offering,  together with  projected  revenues from  operations,  will be
sufficient to fund the Company's  operations and capital requirements until July
31,  1998.  There can be no  assurance,  however,  that such  funds  will not be
expended prior thereto due to  unanticipated  changes in economic  conditions or
other unforeseen  circumstances.  In the event the Company's plans change or its
assumptions  change or prove to be inaccurate,  the Company could be required to
seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated.  The Company has no
current  arrangements  with respect to, or potential  sources of, any additional
financing, and it is not anticipated that existing shareholders will provide any
portion of the Company's future financing requirements.  Consequently, there can
be no assurance that any  additional  financing will be available to the Company
when needed,  on  commercially  reasonable  terms,  or at all. Any  inability to
obtain additional  financing when needed would have a material adverse effect on
the  Company,  requiring  it to curtail and possibly  cease its  operations.  In
addition,  any additional equity financing may involve  substantial  dilution to
the interests of the Company's then existing shareholders.
