ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Effective January 4, 2000, the registrant changed its name from Specialty Care
Network, Inc. to HealthGrades.com, Inc. (hereafter, "the Company").
Simultaneously, the registrant changed the name of its majority-owned
subsidiary, HealthGrades.com, Inc. to HG.com, Inc. As previously reported, in
September 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Venture5 LLC under
which the Company agreed to purchase a number of shares of its majority-owned
subsidiary, HG.com, Inc. from the former PPI stockholders that would increase
the Company's ownership in HG.com, Inc. to 90%. The agreement (the "Shareholder
Agreement"), as subsequently amended, required that the Company pay Venture5
$4,000,000 by December 31, 1999. (For more information regarding the Shareholder
Agreement, see Note 2 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999.) On December 31, 1999, the Company paid
$4,000,000 to Venture5 (the "Minority Interest Purchase") in full satisfaction
of the Shareholder Agreement. The Company financed the Minority Interest
Purchase through the issuance of notes payable to certain officers (the
"Officers") of the Company totaling $3,550,000 (hereafter, the "Officer Notes").
The Officer Notes bear interest at 9.25% and are payable on December 31, 2000.
The remainder of the purchase price was financed with the Company's working
capital.

In an effort to raise the funding to comply with the Company's commitment under
the Shareholder Agreement, during November and December 1999, management of the
Company pursued various financing alternatives through its relationship with its
primary lender, various venture capital firms and personal financing by the
Company's officers. On December 29, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a term sheet relating to an equity investment in the Company by a
venture capital firm (hereafter, "the VC firm"). The term sheet calls for the
purchase by the Officers of Company securities on the same economic terms as are
available to the VC firm. On December 30, 1999, management of the Company
executed the term sheet. It is anticipated that if the funding is made by the VC
firm as outlined in the term sheet, the Officers will purchase Company
securities through the cancellation of the Officer Notes. Based on their
characteristics, the Officer Notes have been classified as a current liability
in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999.

This report contains forward-looking statements, including statements concerning
the possible financing by a venture capital firm and the potential cancellation
of the Officer Notes to acquire equity of the Company. Actual results could
differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements due to
the failure of the Company to negotiate definitive terms with the venture
capital firm and complete the financing. Other risks and uncertainties are
detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

(a) Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)

              Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
                   of HealthGrades.com, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Basis of Presentation

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect
to the Minority Interest Purchase. The pro forma consolidated financial
statements have been prepared by management based upon the historical financial
statements of HealthGrades.com, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain preliminary
estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by management. These pro forma
consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of actual results if the
transactions had occurred on the dates indicated or which may be realized in the
future. The pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 1999 gives effect to the
Minority Interest Purchase as if such transaction had occurred on September 30,
1999. The pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, assumes the Minority Interest Purchase had occurred on
January 1, 1999. The pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998 assumes the Minority Interest Purchase had occurred on
January 1, 1998.

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the
Company, including the related notes thereto, and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," that appear in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, as
well as the historical consolidated financial statement of the Company,
including the related notes thereto, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," that appear in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
