THE COMPANY
Meridian Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: Bulletin Board - MEHO) was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Colorado on October 13, 1998. The Company is an
Internet based company with special emphasis on e-Commerce. The Company's
activities have been limited to capital formation and the development of a

outstanding Common Stock of Intercare Diagnostics, Inc. a California
Corporation, and a United States FDA registered Bio-Medical Software
Manufacturing Company, located in the city of Inglewood California, in exchange
for assumption of debt and services.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGING GROWTH
The Company's anticipated level of growth, should it occur, will challenge the
Company's management and its sales and marketing, customer support, research and
development and finance and administrative operations. The Company's future
performance will depend in part on its ability to manage any such growth, should
it occur, and to adapt its operational and financial control systems, if
necessary, to respond to changes resulting from any such growth. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully manage any future growth
or to adapt its systems to manage such growth, if any, and its failure to do so
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
LACK OF A PRESENT MARKET FOR SECURITIES
The Common Stock is currently quoted on the Bulletin Board, maintained by the
National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. ("NASDAQ") under the Symbol:
MEHO, and there is presently only a very limited market for the Common Stock.
Historically the spread between the bid and asked price of the Company's Common
Stock has been large reflecting limited trading in the stock. The trading price
for the Common Stock has fluctuated widely in the recent past. See "Common Stock
Price Range."
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
The Common Stock is traded on the Bulletin Board maintained by the National
Association of Securities dealers, Inc. under the symbol "MEHO." The Price Range
of the Company's Common Stock has varied significantly in the past months
ranging from a high bid of $1.00 and a low bid of $0.125 per share. The above
prices represent inter-dealer quotations without retail mark-up, mark-down or
commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
At September 30, 1999, the company had approximately 58 shareholders of record
for its common stock, not including shareholders whose Common Stock is held in
"Street" names. The Preferred shares have never been offered to the public,
therefore have never been publicly traded.
<PAGE>
SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $77,101 at September 30, 1999 compared to
$39,701 at September 30, 1998. The increase in cash was due to the acquisition
of the Capnet Group of Companies and consolidation of 51% interest in Intercare
Diagnostics, Inc. The Company had net working capital of $336,642 at September
30, 1999 compared to $238,033 at September 30, 1998. This increase in working
capital was due to the restructuring of the long-term liabilities, infusion of
additional capital and the reduction of account receivable.
The selected financial data set forth above should be read in conjunction with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and the financial statements notes thereto.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS:
The following section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including those referring to the period of time the Company's
existing capital resources will meet the Company's future capital needs, the
Company's future operating results, the market acceptance of the services of the
Company, the Company's efforts to establish and the development of new services,
and the Company's planned investment in the marketing of its current services
and research and development with regard to future endeavors, The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including: domestic
and global economic patterns and trends.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY.
With the completion of the acquisition of the Capnet Group of Companies into the
Company, the operations have changed significantly. Prior to the acquisition,
the Company was in the capital formation stages and did not have any business
operations. With the increased operations, however, there is also an increase
in commitments and cash requirements. On September 18, 1999, the company
acquired 51% of all the outstanding Common Stock of Intercare Diagnostics, Inc.,
in exchange for assumption of debt and services. This acquisition is accounted
for in the current consolidated financial statement. On June 29, 1999, Dr.
Anthony C. Dike joined the Company as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Under the terms of his employment agreement, the Company as pay Dr. Dike a based
Salary of $12,000 per month. To date, the Company has not paid Dr. Dike any
portion of his based salary that was calculated to $36,000 as of September 30,
1999, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The Company has not accrued the
salary payable to Dr. Dike, since he has agreed to forgive the liability.
He hopes to begin receiving his full salary sometime during the first quarter of
the year 2,000.
Long-term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are
anticipated for the continued development of the Company's business plans. The
Company will need to raise additional funds from investors in order to complete
these business plans. There is no assurance that such funds will be available,
and even when available, the terms may be very prohibitive.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company generated revenues from operations of $976,534 during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999, compared to the revenues from operations of
$238,033 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998. This represents
an increase in revenues of 410% from the year earlier. The acquisition of 51%
of Intercare Diagnostics, Inc., was completed on September 18, 1999. The
financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 30,
1999 include the consolidated operations. The Company recorded a net profit
from operations of $136,833 during the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999, compared to a net operating loss of $(154,727) during the period ended
September 30, 1998.
Management anticipates that general operating expenses will increase, as it
pursues vigorously its acquisition of new business opportunities and the
integration of the existing ones.
The Company incurred a profit of $7,593 for the third quarter of 1999, as
compared to a profit of $71,212 for the second quarter. This profit, lower
than anticipated, was due to the amount of time, effort and resources that were
required to be expanded to complete the acquisition of 51% of Intercare
Diagnostics, Inc., on September 18, 1999, hiring of additional support-staff,
acquisition of additional office equipment, marketing and outside consultants
fees.
<PAGE>
There are no seasonal aspects of the Company's business that had, or are
expected to have, a material effect on the financial conditions or results of
operations.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company has undertaken the completion of a Private Placement pursuant to
Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company

$0.001 per share, One Class "A" Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant and One
Class "B" Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Each Class "A" Warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional share of Common Stock for
$3.00 per share for a period commencing on the date of the Private Placement
Memorandum. Each Class "B" Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one
additional share of common Stock for $4.50 per share for a period commencing on
the date of the Private Placement Memorandum. Each Warrant is redeemable by the
Company at a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant at any time after nine months
from the date of the Private Placement Memorandum with thirty days prior written
notice, if the average closing bid price of the Common Shares equals or exceeds
$5.00 for any twenty consecutive trading days ending within ten days prior

been sold, nor has any warrant been issued.

agreements with the County of Los Angeles - Department of Health Services
Community Health Plan will provide revenue in the range of $1,500,000 to
$1,800,000 during the extension period.
On September 10 1999, CAPNET.com, a division of Meridian Holdings Inc.,
announced that it has officially released the Version 5.0 of ``The Mirage
Systems Internet-based Healthcare Transaction Management Software Program.''
This program has been under development since 1994, and has undergone rigorous
testing prior to current deployment. The software program was originally
developed as a cross-platform software program (Microsoft Windows and Macintosh)
by Intercare Diagnostics Inc. (A world-renowned biomedical software development
company) utilizing Microsoft FoxPro Software Development tool, in 1993.
The development of the Internet Version of the Program was started in 1994,
under joint development efforts between Intercare Diagnostics Inc., A Microsoft
Developer Network ISV Member, and CAPNET.com, an Internet-based E-Commerce
Transactions and Management division of Meridian Holdings, utilizing Microsoft
Corporation software development tools.
The current software was developed with Microsoft Visual Interdev 6.0, and it is
100% compatible with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5,
Microsoft SQL 7.0, Microsoft Access 7.0 and above, Microsoft Internet Explorer
4.0 and above, and Netscape 4.0 and above. The estimated street value of this
program is over $5 million and expected to appreciate in value, when all the
program features are fully implemented in subsequent versions.
Under the joint development agreement, Meridian Holdings has an exclusive
license to use this software program to conduct healthcare transactions over the
Internet, including but not limited to Claims and Encounter Data Submission,
Eligibility Verifications, Outcome analysis and Drug Utilization analysis, etc.

Physicians and Hospitals to utilize the program at no cost, while other
non-affiliated healthcare providers can only logon to the network on fee-based
transaction arrangements.
In future, the company intends to market this program to other non-affiliated
healthcare organizations on a fee based transaction module. As of this report,
no sales agreement for use of the software has been signed by any non-affiliated
healthcare organization, and there can be no assurance that any such market
exists for the software.
On September 18 1999, the Company acquired 51% of Intercare Diagnostics, Inc., a
United States FDA registered, world renowned biomedical software manufacturing
and publishing company with over 5-Multimedia software titles in the market,
namely:
a). The Mirage Systems Body Pain Trigger Points Software programs
(Both Macintosh and Windows versions)
b). The Mirage Systems Multimedia Biofeedback Software Programs
(Both Macintosh and Windows versions)
c). The Mirage Systems Internet-based Healthcare Transaction Management
Software Program
d). The Mirage Systems Stress Profiling Software Programs
(Both Macintosh and Windows versions)
e). The Mirage Systems Electro-Diagnostics Scan Site Program
(Both Macintosh and Windows versions)
This acquisition was consummated in exchange for certain debts to be assumed by
the company and other services to be performed by the company as contained in
the Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 18 1999, filed with SEC on the Form
8K submitted on September 20, 1999 and Form 8-K/A submitted in October 25, 1999
respectively.
On September 27, 1999, Intercare Diagnostics, Inc., a subsidiary of Meridian
Holdings, Inc., announced that it has executed an Electronic Commerce Agreement
with Netsales, Inc., in which Netsales will distribute Intercare's software
programs through more than 140,000 loyal reseller customers in 130 countries of
Ingram Micro, the largest provider of computer technology products and services
in the world.
NetSales, Inc., is one of the oldest and most trusted providers of outsourced
e-commerce services, enables companies to do business via the Internet by
developing secure, client-branded e-commerce sites. Under the exclusive ESD
services agreement with Ingram Micro, Netsales will work directly with software
publishers who are not currently part of the Ingram Micro channel to ESD-enable
products for distribution through Ingram Micro's channel of participating online
resellers - including some of the Internet's largest and most popular online
stores.
Ingram Micro, Inc. (NYSE: IM - news), headquartered in Santa Ana, Calif., is the
-- ----
world's largest wholesale distributor of technology products and services, and a
leading provider of assembly and integration services with sales of $25.5
billion for the past four reported quarters. The company and its subsidiaries
operate in 34 countries and distribute more than 225,000 products to more than
140,000 resellers in 130 countries.
The company had entered into similar agreement earlier, with DigitalRiver, Inc.,
in which DigitalRiver will market the company's software program through major
retailers such as CompUSA, Wal-Mart, and other Internet software resellers. As
of this writing, there has not been any significant sales reported, but
management believes that such sales will occur as soon as more funds are
committed to promotion and marketing of the software program. There can be no
assurance that the company will be able to sustain an extensive marketing
campaign, if it is unable to raise additional capital for such an effort, and
even if the funds were to be available, there can be no assurance that the terms
for such level of funding will be favorable to the Company or could be
consummated without incurring an additional dilution of the Company's Common
Stock.
