                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  December 31, 1996

                                     (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein 
have been prepared by PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc. (the "Company") without 
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the "SEC").  Certain information and footnote disclosures, 
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the management of 
the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the 
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed 
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC in January 1997. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal 
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial 
position of the Company with respect to the interim condensed consolidated 
financial statements, and the consolidated results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the interim periods then ended, have been included.  The 
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative 
of the results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - PROPOSED FHP MERGER

    On December 31, 1996, the shareholders of the Company and FHP 
International Corporation ("FHP"), the Fountain Valley, California-based 
health care services company, approved the transaction whereby the Company 
will acquire FHP for a total purchase price expected to be approximately $2.2 
billion (the "FHP Transaction").  FHP is a diversified health care services 
company which, through its HMO subsidiaries, serves approximately 1.9 million 
members in 11 states and Guam.  FHP reported revenues of $4.2 billion and net 
income of $44.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.  FHP also 
operates a health indemnity insurer, a workers' compensation insurer and a 
national preferred provider organization. FHP is one of the largest providers 
of health care services for Medicare beneficiaries in the United States. The 
FHP Transaction will result in the current operations of the Company in 
California, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington being expanded to 
include operations in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New 
Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Utah and Guam.  The FHP Transaction will be accounted 
for as a purchase, when the business combination is completed, and is 
designed to qualify as a tax-free exchange for the stock portion.

    As a result of the FHP Transaction, the Company and FHP will become 
wholly owned subsidiaries of N-T Holdings, Inc. ("PacifiCare Holding").  
Shortly after the FHP Transaction becomes effective, it is the intention of 
PacifiCare Holding to change its name to PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc. and 
the Company will change its name to PacifiCare Operations Systems, Inc.  
Accordingly, PacifiCare Holding, on a going forward basis, will be the 
publicly held entity and thereby the registrant for SEC purposes.

    Terms of the FHP Transaction call for holders of FHP common stock to 
receive a package of consideration equal to approximately $37 per share to be 
paid in cash totaling $17.50 per FHP share and a combination of PacifiCare 
Holding Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 ("Class A"), and PacifiCare 
Holding Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 ("Class B") to equal a fixed 
total of .232 fractional shares of PacifiCare Holding common stock.  The 
exchange ratios of Class A and Class B, based on the current number of 
outstanding shares of FHP common stock are 0.056 and 0.176, respectively.  
The number of

                                       6

<PAGE>

shares to be issued in Class A is fixed at 2,350,000 total shares, therefore, 
the amount of shares of Class B and the exchange ratio split between Class A 
and Class B may vary based on the number of outstanding shares of FHP common 
stock at the time of the close of the FHP Transaction.  In addition, 
stockholders of FHP common stock will receive rights to purchase the common 
stock of Talbert Medical Management Holdings Corporation, as soon as such 
rights can be legally distributed.

    On October 31, 1996, PacifiCare Holding entered into a credit agreement 
with Bank of America as Agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions 
(collectively, the "Banks") whereby the Banks are obligated to provide a 
five-year unsecured, revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $1.5 
billion (the "Credit Facility").  The Company and FHP will provide guarantees 
under the Credit Facility.  PacifiCare Holding may borrow the full amount of 
the Credit Facility to fund the cash portion of the consideration being paid 
to FHP shareholders and to pay a portion of the fees and expenses incurred in 
connection with the FHP Transaction.  Thereafter, the Credit Facility will 
remain available for general corporate purposes.  Interest on the borrowing 
under the Credit Facility will be based on any of the London Interbank 
Offering Rate, a base rate or competitive bid.  The Credit Facility is 
subject to, among other things, various covenants usual for financing of this 
type, with financial covenants including a minimum net worth requirement, a 
fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio.

    The FHP Transaction has received most of the necessary regulatory 
approval and is currently awaiting two state regulatory approvals, most 
notably from the California Department of Corporations.  The FHP Transaction 
is expected to close in February 1997.  For additional information regarding 
the FHP Transaction, please refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 
of PacifiCare Holding filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 
November 18, 1996.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT

    Subsequent to establishing the Credit Facility (See Note 2 - "Proposed 
FHP Merger"), the Company's existing $250.0 million revolving line of credit 
with Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association and a syndicate 
of banks was terminated.  There were no outstanding borrowings under the 
Credit Facility as of December 31, 1996.

    In anticipation of the close of the FHP Transaction, the Company paid 
$7.8 million to retire the remaining outstanding balance of its 8.8 percent 
privately placed senior debt in December 1996.

    Upon consummation of the FHP Transaction, PacifiCare Holding will assume 
$100 million senior notes of FHP (the "FHP Notes") by entering into a 
supplemental indenture, which will be dated as of the closing date of the FHP 
Transaction, with Chase Manhattan Bank.  The FHP Notes carry an interest rate 
of 7.0 percent and mature on September 15, 2003.

NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    In March 1996, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment (the 
"Amendment") to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to 
increase the total number of authorized shares of stock which the Company has 
the authority to issue to 220,000,000.  The Amendment increased the number of 
shares of the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which the 
Company is authorized to issue from 30,000,000 to 100,000,000, increased the 
number of shares of the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, 
which the Company is authorized to issue from 60,000,000 to 100,000,000 and 
increased the total number of shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per 
share, which the Company is authorized to issue from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

    The Company is involved in legal actions in the normal course of 
business, some of which seek substantial monetary damages, including claims 
for punitive damages which are not covered by insurance. Additionally, the 
Company's programs, including services provided to government employees, are 
subject to retrospective audits by the respective regulating agencies in the 
normal course of business. After review, including consultation with counsel, 
management believes any ultimate liability in excess of amounts accrued which 
could arise from audits or legal actions would not materially affect the 
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash 
flows.

    The Company has set aside reserves in anticipation of negotiations 
relating to potential governmental claims for contracts with the United 
States Office of Personnel Management ("OPM").  The Company's HMO 
subsidiaries which provide managed health care services under the Federal 
Employees Health Benefits Program are subject to audit, in the normal course 
of business, by OPM.  Currently, OPM audits for multiple periods are in 
various stages of completion for several of the Company's HMO subsidiaries.  
The Company intends to negotiate with OPM on all matters to attain a mutually 
satisfactory result. While there is no assurance that the negotiations will 
be concluded satisfactorily or that additional liability will not be 
incurred, management believes that any ultimate liability in excess of 
amounts accrued which could arise upon completion of the audits by OPM of the 
health plans, would not materially affect the Company's consolidated 
financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, such 
liability could be material to net income of a future quarter if resolved 
unfavorably.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On January 22, 1997, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell 
the outstanding stock of its PacifiCare of Florida ("PCFL") subsidiary to 
Total Health Choice, a newly formed Florida subsidiary of Total Health Care, 
Inc.  The terms of the agreement call for a purchase price which approximates 
the net book value of PCFL.  Closing of the sale of PCFL is subject to 
various federal and state regulatory approvals.  As of December 31, 1996, 
PCFL served approximately 35,000 commercial and Medicaid members.

NOTE 7 - CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

    On February 27, 1996, the Company determined to change its fiscal year 
end from September 30 to December 31.  Accordingly, the Company's next fiscal 
year will end on December 31, 1997.  The Company will include audited 
financial statements for the October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 transition 
period in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                         THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                                    COMPARED TO THE
                         THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

    Total operating revenue increased 16 percent to $1.2 billion for the 
three months ended December 31, 1996 from $1.1 billion for the same period in 
the prior year.  Enrollment gains in the HMOs' commercial and government 
programs, offset slightly by decreases in commercial premium rates, 
contributed 15 percent of the increase in total operating revenue.  The 
Company's specialty managed care products and services contributed the 
remainder of the increase in operating revenue.

    For the three months ended December 31, 1996, commercial HMO premiums 
increased $68 million to $499 million as compared to the same period in the 
prior year.  Commercial HMO membership at December 31, 1996 increased 15 
percent, as compared to December 31, 1995, to approximately 1,451,500

                                      9

members due to continued growth in all states except Florida. Commercial HMO 
membership growth provided the increase in commercial premiums, more than 
offsetting premium rate decreases averaging 1.4 percent.  The Company's 
specialty managed care products and services contributed the remainder of the 
increase in operating revenue.

    Government premiums rose $102 million to $723 million for the three 
months ended December 31, 1996 from $621 million in the same period of fiscal 
year 1996.  Enrollment gains in the Medicare programs, which offset losses in 
Medicaid membership, accounted for 47 percent of the increase for the three 
month period ended December 31, 1996.  The remainder of the premium increase 
was attributable to average premium rate increases of 8.3% for the three 
months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior 
year which reflect reductions in member paid supplemental premiums and the 
Company's continued withdrawal from low premium Medicaid programs.  

    The decrease in the commercial medical loss ratio for the three months 
ended December 31, 1996 was primarily due to the implementation of more 
effective physician contracts, mainly in California. Additionally, the 
Company is experiencing improved performance in its PPO, indemnity and other 
specialty managed care products and services.  Lower physician and specialty 
managed care costs were partially offset by increases in prescription drug 
costs.

    The increase in the medical loss ratio for the government programs 
reflects increased physician costs due to membership growth in areas with 
higher physician costs combined with lower member paid supplemental premiums 
and enhanced benefits provided to enrollees.  These lower supplemental 
premiums and increased costs were partially offset by the average premium 
rate increases.

    Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $21 million to 
$153 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996 from $132 million 
for the same period in fiscal year 1996.  As a percentage of operating 
revenue, marketing, general and administrative expenses remained consistent 
with the same quarter in the prior year.  Continued administrative 
efficiencies have allowed the Company to control its overhead, as well as 
continue investments in medical management systems.

    Net income increased 14 percent to $32 million for the quarter ended 
December 31, 1996 compared to $28 million in the same period in the prior 
fiscal year.  Earnings per share of $1.00 were 14 percent higher than the 
prior year's quarterly earnings per share of $0.88.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's working capital at December 31, 1996 was $483 million, an 
increase of $19 million from September 30, 1996.  Cash flows provided by 
operations increased primarily due to advanced receipt of the January 1997 
Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") Medicare premium payment.

    In October 1996, the Company established a $1.5 billion revolving credit 
facility with Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association and a 
syndicate of banks to finance the cash portion of the FHP Transaction. 
Subsequent to establishing the Credit Facility, the Company's existing $250.0 
million revolving line of credit with Bank of America National Trust and 
Savings Association and a syndicate of banks was terminated.  Additionally, 
the Company paid $7.8 million to retire the remaining outstanding balance of 
its 8.8 percent privately placed senior debt in December 1996. (See Notes 2 
and 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)  The 
Company has paid approximately $11 million in Credit Facility fees in the 
quarter ended December 31, 1996, which have been recorded in noncurrent 
assets and will be amortized over the term of the loan.

    Upon consummation of the FHP Transaction, PacifiCare Holding the FHP 
Notes by entering into a supplemental indenture, which will be dated as of 
the close of the FHP Transaction, with Chase Manhattan Bank.  The Notes carry 
an interest rate of 7.0 percent and mature on September 15, 2003 (see Note 3 
of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

    As of October 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which 
requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in 
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted 
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the 
assets' carrying amounts.  The statement also addresses the accounting for 
long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.  The adoption did not 
materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of 
operations or cash flows.

    On October 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation," which provides an alternative to Accounting 
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to 
Employees."  SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require recognition of 
compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other equity 
instruments to employees based on the fair value.  The statement also allows 
companies to continue to measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value 
method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25.  While recognition for 
employee stock-based compensation is not mandatory, SFAS No. 123 requires 
companies that choose not to adopt the new fair value accounting rules to 
disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share under the new method. 
The Company will continue with the intrinsic value based method prescribed by 
APB Opinion No. 25 and make pro forma disclosures of net income and EPS, as 
if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been 
applied beginning on October 1, 1996.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION ACT OF 
1995

    The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe 
harbor" for forward looking statements to encourage companies to provide 
prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation so long 
as those statements are identified as forward looking and are accompanied by 
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could 
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the 
statements. The statements contained in this section, and throughout the 
document, are based on current expectations.  These statements are forward 
looking and actual results may differ materially from those projected in the 
forward looking statements, which statements involve risks and uncertainties. 
In addition, past financial performance is not necessarily a reliable 
indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical 
performance to anticipate results or future period trends.  Shareholders are 
also directed to the other risks discussed in other documents filed by the 
SEC.

    The following forward looking statements, except where specifically 
noted, exclude the potential impact of the integration of FHP into the 
Company subsequent to the FHP Transaction (see Note 2 of the Notes to the 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  The impact of FHP has been 
excluded because the Company believes that it has insufficient information to 
make any projections and that disclosure of any potential impact would be 
premature.

    INDUSTRY COMPETITION AND CONSOLIDATION.  The Company's business strategy 
is to solidify its position as one of the leading managed health care 
services companies.  The pending FHP Transaction is consistent with this 
strategy as it offers significant synergies creating a combined company that 
would be better able to respond to the needs of consumers and customers, the 
increased competitiveness of the health care industry and the opportunities 
that changes in the health care industry might bring. While the Company 
believes that the acquisition will be successfully completed, the regulatory 
approvals required, including various state approvals, may not be obtained.  
For additional information regarding the FHP Transaction, please refer to the 

                                      11

<PAGE>

Registration Statement on Form S-4 of PacifiCare Holding filed with the SEC 
on November 18, 1996. Increased competition could result in a decline in 
revenue or in price reductions.  Factors which could influence increased 
competition include larger competitors being created through consolidation, 
intensification of price competition and the formation of new products by new 
and existing competitors, especially with respect to Medicare products.

    MEMBERSHIP GROWTH.  Excluding the effects of the FHP Transaction, the 
Company's membership growth is expected to continue in 1997 in both the 
commercial and government programs but decline from the overall 15 percent 
growth rate experienced in the quarter ended December 31, 1996 as competition 
continues to increase and the Company shifts its emphasis from rapid growth 
to improved margin performance.  The rate of membership growth is also 
expected to decline in 1997 with approximately 35,000 of expected membership 
losses with the Company's exit from the Florida market and additional losses 
as the Company continues to exit the Medicaid business in all markets.  If 
the FHP Transaction is successfully completed, membership is expected to 
double solely as a result of the combination of the two companies.  Had the 
business combination been closed as of December 31, 1996, total membership 
would have been approximately 3.9 million, an increase of 93 percent.  
Commercial and government membership would have been 2.9 million and 1.0 
million, respectively.  An unforeseen loss of membership could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company.  Factors which could contribute to 
the loss of membership include without limitation, failure to obtain new 
customers or to retain existing customers, reductions in workforce by 
existing customers, adverse publicity and news coverage, inability to carry 
out marketing and sales plans, loss or retirement of key executives or key 
employees or denial of accreditation by independent quality accrediting 
agencies.

    HEALTH CARE PROVIDER CONTRACTS.  The Company's profitability depends, in 
part, on its ability to maintain effective control over health care costs 
while providing members with quality care.  Securing cost effective contracts 
with existing and new physician groups is more difficult due to increased 
competition.  The negotiation of provider contracts, generally as of January 
1, may be impacted by adverse state and federal legislation and regulation 
discussed below.  Factors which could impact the Company's ability to secure 
contracts with providers include the inability to renegotiate contracts or 
entering into contracts with less cost-effective rates or terms of payment 
and factors affecting increased competition as discussed above.

    COMMERCIAL MEDICAL LOSS RATIO. The 1997 commercial medical loss ratio is 
expected to be lower than fiscal year 1996. The Company expects commercial 
premium rates to increase slightly as competitive pressures continue to ease 
and the Company pursues its strategic focus from membership growth to product 
performance, resulting in premium rate stabilization or increases for its HMO 
and PPO indemnity products.  Without compromising its strategic focus on 
product performance, the Company continues to work with certain large 
employer groups and other purchasers of commercial health care services which 
continue to demand minimal premium rate increases or reductions in premium 
rates while limiting the number of choices offered to employees.  Premium 
increases are expected to be slightly offset by the rate of increases in 
health care costs including prescription drugs. Increased provider experience 
in the newer markets, combined with continual renegotiation of current 
contracts in all markets, should begin to slightly decrease physician costs, 
improving the commercial medical loss ratio.  Additionally, the pending sale 
of PCFL should contribute to a further decrease in the commercial medical 
loss ratio.

    GOVERNMENT MEDICAL LOSS RATIO.  In September 1996, the Company was 
advised by HCFA that effective January 1997, its HMOs will receive a weighted 
average premium rate increase of approximately 6.1 percent.  The Company 
expects to receive these rates barring any adverse federal legislation 
change. The 1997 medical loss ratio for the government programs is expected 
to be moderately higher than the fiscal year 1996 rate as competitive 
pressures in the Medicare market, requiring enhanced benefits with lower 
supplemental premiums, offset HCFA rate increases.

                                      12


<PAGE>

    The commercial and government medical loss ratio expectations discussed 
above could be affected by various uncertainties, including increases in 
medical and prescription drug costs, increases in utilization and costs of 
medical services and the effect of actions by competitors or groups of 
providers and termination of provider contracts or renegotiation thereof at 
less cost-effective rates or terms of payment.  In addition, price increases 
in health care costs including prescription drug costs, which have been 
escalating faster than premium increases in recent years, as well as price 
increases for durable medical equipment and other covered items plus other 
factors, as discussed below, could also affect expectations.

    MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT INVESTMENTS.  Marketing, 
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of operating revenue in 
1997 are expected to be slightly higher than fiscal year 1996. The Company 
plans to increase its investment in medical management to improve its medical 
loss ratios and expects increased investments in information services to 
maintain and enhance its current competitive advantage in information 
technology.  In addition, employee incentives will be realigned with 1997 
targets. Marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of 
operating revenue for 1997 are expected to increase from fiscal year 1996 
levels as the Company invests in the integration of FHP.  Although the 
Company anticipates that the FHP Transaction will yield increased operating 
income partly resulting from a combination of reductions in marketing, 
general and administrative expenses, there can be no assurances that the 
anticipated benefits and synergies will be obtained.  The ability of the 
Company to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies is subject to the 
following additional uncertainties, among others: the ability to integrate 
the Company's and FHP's management and information systems, on a timely 
basis, if at all; the ability to eliminate duplicative functions while 
maintaining acceptable performance levels; and the possibility that the 
integration of FHP will result in the loss of providers, employers, members 
or key employees of PacifiCare, FHP or their subsidiaries. Additionally, 
marketing, general and administrative expenses could be adversely impacted by 
the need for additional advertising, marketing, administrative, or management 
information systems expenditures and the inability to carry out marketing and 
sales plans.

    OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT CONTINGENCIES.  The Company intends to 
negotiate with the OPM on all matters to attain a mutually satisfactory 
result. While there is no assurance that the negotiations will be concluded 
satisfactorily or that additional liability will not be incurred, management 
believes that any ultimate liability in excess of amounts accrued which could 
arise upon completion of the audits by OPM of the health plans would not 
materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of 
operations or cash flows; however, such liability could be material to net 
income of a future quarter if resolved unfavorably (see Note 5 of the Notes 
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  The Company believes that cash flows 
from operations, the Credit Facility, existing cash and equivalents and 
marketable securities and other financing sources will provide sufficient 
liquidity for operations in the foreseeable future.  However, cash flows 
could be adversely affected by changes in interest rates causing an increase 
in interest expense and the fact that the Company will be subject to greater 
operating leverage due to its higher levels of indebtedness if the FHP 
Transaction is consummated. Additionally, should the Credit Facility be fully 
drawn to fund the FHP Transaction or other business purpose, the Company's 
ability to make a payment on, or repayment of, its future obligations under 
the Credit Facility and the Notes will be significantly dependent upon the 
receipt of funds from the Company's subsidiaries.  These subsidiary payments 
represent fees for management services rendered by the Company to the 
subsidiaries and cash dividends by the subsidiaries to the Company.  Nearly 
all of the subsidiaries are subject to HMO regulations or insurance 
regulations and may be subject to substantial supervision by one or more HMO 
or insurance regulators.  Subsidiaries subject to regulation must meet or 
exceed various fiscal standards imposed by HMO or insurance regulations.  
These fiscal standards may, from time to time, impact the amount of funds 
paid by subsidiaries to the Company.

    LEGISLATION AND REGULATION. The Company's success is significantly 
impacted by federal and state legislation and regulation.  Actual results may 
differ materially from expected results discussed throughout this

                                      13

document because of adverse state and federal legislation and regulation. 
This includes limitations on premium levels; increases in minimum capital and 
reserves and other financial viability requirements; prohibition or 
limitation of capitated arrangements or provider financial incentives; 
benefit mandates (including mandatory length of stay and emergency room 
coverage) and limitations on the ability to manage care and utilization of 
any willing provider or pharmacy laws.  It also includes adverse actions of 
governmental payors, including unilateral reduction of Medicare and Medicaid 
premiums payable; discontinuance of or limitation on governmentally funded 
programs and recovery by governmental payors of previously paid amounts; the 
inability to increase premiums or prospective or retroactive reductions to 
premium rates for federal employees notwithstanding increases in medical 
costs due to competition, government regulation or other factors; adverse 
regulatory determinations resulting in loss or limitations of licensure, 
certification or contracts with governmental payors; and increase by 
regulatory authorities of minimum capital, reserve and other financial 
viability requirements.

    OTHER. Results may differ materially from those projected, forecast, 
estimated and budgeted by the Company due to adverse results in ongoing 
audits or in other reviews conducted by federal or state agencies or health 
care purchasing cooperatives; adverse results in significant litigation 
matters; and changes in interest rates causing an increase in interest 
expense.

Item 5:  Other Information

         On February 27, 1996, the Company determined to change its fiscal year
    end from September 30 to December 31.  Accordingly, the Company's next
    fiscal year will end on December 31, 1997. The Company will include audited
    financial statements for the October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996
    transition period in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
    December 31, 1997.

         On February 14, 1997, the Registrant's Commission File Number and IRS
    Employer Identification Number changed as a result of a corporate
    reorganization.  The identifying numbers on page one of this transition
    report on Form 10-Q/A, therefore, are different from those presented on the
