(1) The nature of hospital accounts receivable billing and collection processes
    have resulted in the Company and CBHS receiving remittances which belong to
    the other party. Additionally, the Company and CBHS have established a
    settlement and allocation process for the accounts receivable related to
    those patients who were not yet discharged from their treatment on June 16,
    1997. These and other events result in the amount presented as due to CBHS.
 
(2) Franchise fees due from CBHS were approximately $38.0 million and $58.5
    million as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998, respectively. CBHS'
    independent public accountants' report on CBHS' financial statements for the
    year ended September 30, 1998, makes reference to uncertainty regarding
    CBHS' ability to continue as a going concern. The Company recorded equity in
    loss of its investment in CBHS until all franchise fees due from CBHS were
    reduced to $0 at September 30, 1998. The Company received no franchise fee
    payments from CBHS and recorded no franchise fee revenue related to CBHS
    during the three months ended December 31, 1998, due to continuing
    uncertainties surrounding their collectibility. Cumulative equity in losses

    Company's investment in CBHS of $7.7 million ($5.1 million during the fiscal
    year ended September 30, 1998; $2.6 million during the three months ended
    Decemer 31, 1998) are not reflected in the Company's financial statements at
    and for the three months ended December 31, 1998, since the Company has no
    remaining obligation or commitment to fund CBHS and has no guarantees
    outstanding for any CBHS obligations.
 
(3) CBHS is responsible for funding substantially all of the operations of the
    1-800-CHARTER call center under a management agreement (the "Call Center
    Management Agreement") which was entered into on December 22, 1997.
 
    Under the Call Center Management Agreement, CBHS agreed to fund the
    operations of the call center with the exceptions of capital expenditures
    and lease payments for an initial term of eighteen months in exchange for
    payment of approximately $5.9 million, which approximated the budgeted costs
    for the call center over the term of the agreement. In December 1998, the
    Call Center Management Agreement was extended for an additional twelve
    months at a cost to the Company of approximately $3.3 million.
 
(4) CBHS leased two psychiatric hospital facilities (collectively, the "CBHS
    Leaseholds") from the Company as of December 31, 1998, that were acquired by
    the Company in connection with CBHS' acquisition of certain businesses from
    Ramsay Health Care, Inc. on September 28, 1998. The Company paid
    approximately $7.2 million for the CBHS Leaseholds ($2.8 million during
    September 1998; $4.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1998).
    The purchase of the CBHS Leaseholds was funded primarily through
    distributions received from the Provider JV's (as defined). The CBHS
    Leaseholds are leased to CBHS for a 10-year lease term at an annual rent of
    $0.7 million. The Company accounted for the purchase of the CBHS Leaseholds
    as an investment in income producing property. Both the Company and CBHS
    account for these leases as operating leases.
 
    Under the terms of a letter agreement dated November 10, 1998, between the
    Company and Crescent Real Estate Funding VII, L.P. ("Crescent Funding"),
    Crescent Funding has agreed to purchase the CBHS Leaseholds from the
    Company, at the contract acquisition cost paid by the Company, upon the sale
    of certain other property owned by Crescent Funding and leased by CBHS at
    December 31, 1998. Crescent Funding is an affiliate of both Crescent
    Operating, Inc. ("COI"), the other 50% owner of CBHS, and Crescent Real
    Estate Equities, L.P. ("Crescent"), the lessor of the majority of the
    properties in which CBHS conducts its business.
 
    CHOICE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PARTNERSHIP.  The Company is a 50% partner with
Value Options, Inc. in Choice Behavioral Health Partnership ("Choice"), a
managed behavioral healthcare company. Choice derives all of its revenues from a
contract with the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services
("CHAMPUS"), and with TriCare, the successor to CHAMPUS. The Company accounts
for its investment in Choice using the equity method.

NOTE H--CONTINGENCIES
 
    The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of its general and
professional liability risks. The reserves for self-insured general and
professional liability losses, including loss adjustment expenses, are included
in "Reserve for unpaid claims" in the Company's balance sheet and are based on
actuarial estimates that are discounted at an average rate of 6% to their
present value based on the Company's historical claims experience adjusted for
current industry trends. The undiscounted amount of the reserve for unpaid
claims at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998, was approximately $34.6
million and $30.3 million, respectively. The carrying amount of accrued medical
malpractice claims was $26.2 million and $23.8 million at September 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1998, respectively. The reserve for unpaid claims is adjusted
periodically as such claims mature, to reflect changes in actuarial estimates
based on actual experience. During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the
Company recorded reductions in malpractice claim reserves of approximately $4.1
million, as a result of updated actuarial estimates. These reductions resulted
primarily from updates to actuarial assumptions regarding the Company's expected
losses for more recent policy years. These revisions are based on changes in
expected values of ultimate losses resulting from the Company's claim
experience, and increased reliance on such claim experience. While management
and its actuaries believe that the present reserve is reasonable, ultimate
settlement of losses may vary from the amount recorded.
 
    The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations. The
subjects of such laws and regulations include but are not limited to, matters
such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation
requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid
fraud and abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with respect to
investigations and/or allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and
abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by healthcare providers.
Entities that are found to have violated these laws and regulations may be
excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to
fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for
previously billed patient services. The Office of the Inspector General of the
Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of

and certain other governmental agencies are currently conducting inquiries
and/or investigations regarding the compliance by the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries and the compliance by CBHS and certain of its subsidiaries with
such laws and regulations. Certain of the inquiries relate to the operations and
business practices of the Company's psychiatric provider operations prior to the
consummation of the Crescent Transactions (as defined). In addition, the Company
is also subject to or party to litigation, claims and civil suits relating to
its operations and business practices. In the opinion of management, the Company
has recorded reserves that are adequate to cover litigation, claims or
assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company arising out of
such litigation, civil suits and governmental inquiries. Furthermore, management
believes that the resolution of such litigation, civil suits and governmental
inquiries will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this
regard.
 
    In October 1996, a group of eight plaintiffs purporting to represent an
uncertified class of psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers brought an
action under the federal antitrust laws in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York against nine behavioral health managed care
organizations, including Merit, CMG, Green Spring and HAI (collectively, the
"Defendants"). The complaint (the "Stephens Case") alleges that the Defendants
violated Section I of the Sherman Act by engaging in a conspiracy to fix the
prices at which the defendants purchase services from mental healthcare
providers such as the plaintiffs. The complaint further alleges that the
Defendants engaged in a group boycott to exclude mental healthcare providers
from the Defendants' networks in order to further the goals of the alleged
conspiracy. The complaint also challenges the propriety of the Defendants'
capitation arrangements with their respective customers, although it is unclear
from the complaint whether the plaintiffs allege that the Defendants unlawfully
conspired to enter into capitation arrangements with their respective customers.
The complaint seeks treble damages against the Defendants in an unspecified
amount and a permanent injunction prohibiting the Defendants from engaging in
the alleged conduct which forms the basis of the complaint, plus costs and
attorneys' fees. On May 12, 1998, the District Court granted the Defendants'
motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. On May 27, 1998, the plaintiffs
filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's dismissal of their complaint
with the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals. On November 16, 1998,
the Second Circuit court issued a Summary Order affirming the District Court's
decision. The plaintiffs have not filed a petition for rehearing, and the time
allotted for doing so has expired. The plaintiffs have 90 days from the date of
judgment to file a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs have not indicated whether they will file such a petition. If no
petition is filed, or if a filed petition is denied, this matter will have been
concluded. The Company does not believe this matter will have a material adverse
effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
    On May 26, 1998, the counsel representing the plaintiffs in the Stephens
Case filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey on behalf of a group of thirteen plaintiffs who also purport to represent
an uncertified class of psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social
workers. This complaint alleges substantially the same violations of federal
antitrust laws by the Defendants. The Defendants believe the factual and legal
issues involved in this case are substantially similar to those involved in the
Stephens Case and intend to vigorously defend themselves in this litigation. On
August 28, 1998, the Defendants filed a joint motion requesting that the case
be: i) transferred to the Southern District of New York; ii) alternatively, that
all proceedings be stayed pending the Second

case, that the complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim for
substantially the same reasons as in the Stephens Case. The plaintiffs have
opposed this motion, which was argued on November 23, 1998. At the conclusion of
the November 23 hearing, the Court ruled that the case should be transferred to
the Southern District of New York. The Defendants' motion to dismiss was deemed
withdrawn without prejudice to its resubmission in the Southern District. The
plaintiffs have stated that they intend to appeal the Court's transfer order to
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The Company
does not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on its

utilization during the period known as the "data collection period". The Company
has recorded reserves of approximately $29.3 million as of December 31, 1998,
for CHAMPUS Adjustments.
 
    While management believes that the present reserve for CHAMPUS Adjustments
is reasonable, ultimate settlement resulting from the adjustment and available
appeal process may vary from the amount provided.
 
NOTE I--MANAGED CARE INTEGRATION PLAN AND COSTS
 
    INTEGRATION PLAN.  Management approved and committed the Company to a plan
to combine and integrate the operations of its Behavioral and Specialty segments
(the "Integration Plan") during fiscal 1998. The Integration Plan will result in
the elimination of duplicative functions and will standardize business practices
and information technology platforms.
 
    The Integration Plan will result in the elimination of approximately 1,000
positions during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999. Approximately 425 employees had
been involuntarily terminated pursuant to the Integration Plan as of December
31, 1998. The Company estimates that approximately 100 additional employees will
be involuntarily terminated as a result of the Integration Plan. The remaining
positions have been or will be eliminated through normal attrition.
 
    The employee groups of the Behavioral segment that are primarily affected
include executive management, finance, human resources, information systems and
legal personnel at the various corporate headquarters and regional offices and
credentialing, claims processing, contracting and marketing personnel at various
operating locations. The Company expects to complete the specific identification
of all personnel who will be involuntarily terminated during the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, and will complete its involuntary terminations by the end of
fiscal 1999.
 
    The Integration Plan has resulted in the closure and identified closure of
approximately 20 leased facilities during fiscal 1998 and 1999. The Company
expects the remaining office closures, if any, to be insignificant.
 
    The Company recorded approximately $21.3 million of liabilities related to
the Integration Plan, of which $12.4 million was recorded as part of the Merit
purchase price allocation and $8.9 million was

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations

OVERVIEW
 
    The Company historically derived the majority of its revenue from providing
behavioral healthcare services in an inpatient setting prior to the consummation
of the Crescent Transactions on June 17, 1997. Payments from third-party payors
are the principal source of revenue for most behavioral healthcare providers. In
the early 1990's, many third party payors sought to control the cost of
providing care to their patients by instituting managed care programs or seeking
the assistance of managed care companies. Providers participating in managed
care programs agree to provide services to patients for a discount from
established rates, which generally results in pricing concessions by the
providers and lower margins. Additionally, managed care programs generally
encourage alternatives to inpatient treatment settings and reduce utilization of
inpatient services. As a result, third-party payors established managed care
programs or engaged managed care companies in many areas of healthcare,
including behavioral healthcare. The Company, which until the consummation of
the Crescent Transactions was the largest operator of psychiatric hospitals in
the United States, was adversely affected by the adoption of managed care
programs by the third-party payors.
 
    Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company was not a provider of
behavioral managed healthcare services. During the first quarter of fiscal 1996,
the Company acquired a 61% ownership interest in Green Spring Health Services,
Inc. ("Green Spring"). At that time, the Company intended to become a fully
integrated behavioral healthcare provider by combining the behavioral managed
healthcare products offered by Green Spring with the direct treatment services
offered by the Company's psychiatric hospitals. The Company believed that an
entity that participated in both the managed care and the provider segments of
the behavioral healthcare industry could more efficiently provide and manage
behavioral healthcare for insured populations than an entity that was solely a
managed care company. The Company also believed that earnings from its
behavioral managed healthcare business would offset, in part, the negative
impact on the financial performance of its psychiatric hospitals caused by
managed care. Green Spring was the Company's first significant involvement in
behavioral managed healthcare. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, pursuant
to the Green Spring Minority Stockholder Conversion, the minority stockholders
of Green Spring converted their interests in Green Spring into an aggregate of
2,831,516 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
 
    Subsequent to the Company's acquisition of Green Spring, the growth of the
behavioral managed healthcare industry accelerated. Under the Company's majority
ownership, Green Spring increased its base of covered lives from 12.0 million as
of the end of calendar year 1995 to 21.1 million as of the end of calendar year
1997, a compound annual growth rate of over 32%. While growth in the industry
was
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
accelerating, the behavioral managed healthcare industry also began to
consolidate. The Company concluded that this consolidation presented an
opportunity for the Company to increase its participation in the behavioral
managed healthcare industry, which the Company believed offered growth and
earnings prospects superior to those of the psychiatric hospital industry.
Therefore, the Company decided to sell its domestic psychiatric facilities to
obtain capital for expansion in the behavioral managed healthcare business.
 
    On June 17, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of its domestic acute
care psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment facilities (the
"Psychiatric Hospital Facilities"), to Crescent Real Estate Equities, L.P.
("Crescent") for $417.2 million in cash (before costs of approximately $16.0
million) and certain other consideration (the "Crescent Transactions"). The sale
of the Psychiatric Hospital Facilities provided the Company with approximately
$200 million of net cash proceeds, after debt repayment, for use in implementing
its business strategy to increase its participation in the managed healthcare
industry. The Company used the net cash proceeds of approximately $200 million
to finance the acquisitions of HAI and Allied in December 1997.
 
    The Company further implemented its business strategy through the Merit
acquisition.

(1) The Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss
    from operations before depreciation, amortization, interest, stock option
    expense (credit), managed care integration costs, gain or loss on asset
    sales, other unusual items, income taxes and minority interest ("Segment
    Profit"). See the reconciliation of Segment Profit to consolidated income
    before provision for income taxes and minority interest included in Note
    J--"Business Segment Information" to the Company's condensed consolidated
    financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.
 
    BEHAVIORAL MANAGED CARE.  Revenue increased 199.2% or $237.4 million, to
$356.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $119.2 million in
the same period in fiscal 1998. Salaries, cost of care and other operating
expenses increased 196.1%, or $203.8 million, to $307.7 million for the quarter
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
ended December 31, 1998, from $103.9 million in the same period in fiscal 1998.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $4.4 million to $3.8
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from a loss of $0.6 million for
the same period in fiscal 1998. The increases resulted primarily from the
acquisitions of HAI and Merit in fiscal 1998 and internal growth at Green
Spring. Behavioral managed care revenues and equity in earnings of
unconsolidated subsidiaries also increased as a result of the award of several
new contracts in fiscal 1998 and significant improvements in negotiated rates
and terms of the TennCare contract in fiscal 1998. The increase in Segment
Profit was also attributable to reductions in administrative costs at Green
Spring and HAI as a result of the Integration Plan.
 
    HUMAN SERVICES.  Revenue increased 73.8%, or $19.4 million, to $45.7 million
for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $26.3 million in the same period
in fiscal 1998. Salaries, cost of care and other operating expenses increased
68.4%, or $16.5 million, to $40.5 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1998 from $24.0 million in the same period in fiscal 1998. The increases were
attributable to the eight acquisitions consummated in fiscal 1998 and fiscal
1999 and internal growth. Placements in Mentor homes increased 23.8% to 3,640 at
December 31, 1998, compared to 2,940 at December 31, 1997.
 
    SPECIALTY MANAGED CARE.  Revenue increased 190.9%, or $26.9 million, to
$41.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, compared to $14.1 million
in the same period in fiscal 1998. Salaries, cost of care and other operating
expenses increased 174.8%, or $25.8 million, to $40.6 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, compared to $14.8 million in the same period in fiscal
1998. The increase in revenue and salaries, cost of care and other operating
expenses was primarily related to the Allied acquisition. Allied's revenues and
salaries, cost of care and other operating expenses were $40.8 million and $39.9
million, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, compared to
$14.1 million and $13.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
 
    HEALTHCARE FRANCHISING.  Revenue decreased to $0.2 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, from $19.6 million in the same period in fiscal 1998.
Salaries, cost of care and other operating expenses decreased 33.3%, or $0.7
million, to $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $2.2
million in the same period in fiscal 1998. Equity in loss of CBHS decreased to
$0 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $11.5 million in the same
period in fiscal 1998. The decrease in revenue resulted from uncertainties
surrounding the collectibility of franchise fees due from CBHS, for which no
franchise fee revenue was recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
while $19.6 million of CBHS franchise revenue was recognized and collected in
the same period in fiscal 1998. The decrease in equity in loss of CBHS is
attributable to the fact that the Company had reduced its investment in CBHS to
$0 at September 30, 1998, and was no longer required to record its pro rata
share of CBHS' loss for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. See Note
F--"Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries--Charter Behavioral Health
Systems, LLC" to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements set
forth elsewhere herein.
 
    HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.  Revenue decreased 41.0%, or $13.6 million, to $19.6
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $33.2 million in the same
period in fiscal 1998. Salaries, cost of care and other operating expenses
decreased 18.3%, or $4.4 million, to $19.6 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 from $24.0 million in fiscal 1998. Equity in earnings of
unconsolidated subsidiaries increased to $1.2 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, from $0 in the same period in fiscal 1998. These changes
resulted primarily from the conversion of five provider joint ventures from
consolidation to the equity method. See "--Recent Accounting
Pronouncements--EITF 96-16". During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the
Company recorded reductions of expenses of $4.1 million as a result of updated
actuarial estimates related to malpractice claim reserves. These reductions
resulted primarily from updates to actuarial assumptions regarding the Company's
expected losses for more recent policy years. These revisions are based on
changes in expected values of ultimate losses resulting from the Company's claim
experience, and increased reliance on such claim experience. While management
and its actuaries
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
believe that the present reserve is reasonable, ultimate settlement of losses
may vary from the amount recorded and result in additional fluctuations in
income in future periods.
 
    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased
162.9%, or $11.4 million, to $18.4 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1998, from $7.0 million in the same period in fiscal 1998. The increase was
primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization resulting from the HAI,
Allied and Merit acquisitions of $10.9 million, in the aggregate, for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in
fiscal 1998.
 
    INTEREST, NET.  Interest expense, net, increased 225.7%, or $16.7 million,
to $24.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $7.4 million in
the same period in fiscal 1998. The increase was primarily the result of
interest expense incurred on borrowings used to fund the Merit acquisition and
related transactions.
 
    OTHER ITEMS.  Stock option expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
was not material compared to a credit of $4.0 million in fiscal 1998 primarily
due to the exercise of stock options by a certain optionee in fiscal 1998.
 
    The Company recorded Managed Care integration costs of $1.8 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998. See Note I--"Managed Care Integration Plan and
Costs" to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements set forth
elsewhere herein.
 
    The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 56.8% for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, compared to 40% in the same period in fiscal 1998. The
increase was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill amortization of
$4.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, resulting from the Merit
acquisition.
 
    Minority interest decreased 86.2%, or $2.5 million, to $0.4 million,
compared to $2.9 million in the same period in fiscal 1998. This decrease
resulted primarily from the conversion of five provider joint ventures from
consolidation to the equity method (See "--Recent Accounting
Pronouncements--EITF 96-16") and from the Green Spring Minority Stockholder
Conversion in January 1998.
 
    IMPACT OF THE MERIT ACQUISITION ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  As of December
31, 1998, the Company had approximately 62.8 million covered lives under
behavioral managed healthcare contracts. The Company believes it has the leading
market position in each of the major product markets in which it competes,
according to enrollment data reported in the industry trade publication entitled
"Managed Behavioral Health Market Share in the United States 1997-1998"
published by Open Minds, Gettysburg, Pennsylania ("Open Minds"). The Company
believes that the Merit acquisition created opportunities for the Company to
achieve significant cost savings in its behavioral managed healthcare business.
Management believes that cost saving opportunities will result from leveraging
fixed overhead over a larger revenue base and an increased number of covered
lives and from reducing duplicative corporate and regional selling, general and
administrative expenses. As a result, the Company expects to achieve
approximately $60.0 million of cost savings in its behavioral managed healthcare
business on an annual basis by September 30, 1999. Such cost savings are
measured relative to the combined operating expenses of Green Spring, HAI and
Merit prior to the Merit acquisition. The Company spent approximately $4.7
million during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and, expects to spend an
additional $5.0 million to $10.0 million during fiscal 1999 in connection with
achieving such cost savings.
 
    The Company expects to record additional managed care integration costs
during future periods to the extent the integration of Green Spring, HAI and
Merit results in additional facility closures at HAI and Green Spring and for
integration costs incurred that benefit future periods. The full implementation
of the integration plan is expected to be completed by fiscal 2000.
 
    BEHAVIORAL MANAGED HEALTHCARE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  The Company's
behavioral managed healthcare segment results of operations are subject to
significant fluctuations on a quarterly basis. These
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
potential earnings fluctuations may result from: (i) changes in utilization
levels by enrolled members of the Company's risk-based contracts; (ii)
performance-based contractual adjustments to revenue, reflecting utilization
results or other performance measures; (iii) retroactive contractual adjustments
under commercial contracts and CHAMPUS contracts; (iv) retrospective membership
adjustments and (v) timing of implementation of new contracts and enrollment
changes.
 
HISTORICAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  The Company's net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities was $(31.7) million and $7.7 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998 was primarily the
result of (i) reduction in interest paid of $8.9 million, (ii) reduction in
income taxes paid, net of refunds received, of $8.3 million, (iii) reduction in
payments of previously reserved claims of $6.1 million and (iv) increases in
cash flows from operations as a result of the HAI and Merit acquistions, offset
by reductions in franchise fees collected from CBHS of $19.6 million.
 
    INVESTING ACTIVITIES.  Capital expenditures increased 213.0%, or $9.8
million, to $14.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, compared to
$4.6 million in the same period in fiscal 1998. This increase was due primarily
to: i) capital expenditures at businesses acquired in fiscal 1998 and ii)
increased capital expenditures in the Company's Behavioral segment related to:
a) the Integration Plan (See Note I--"Managed Care Integration Plan and Costs"
to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere
herein), and b) acceleration of capital expenditures related to year 2000
computer issues (See "--Potential Impact of Year 2000 Computer Issues").
 
    The Company acquired businesses in its managed behavioral healthcare and
human services segments and acquired the assets of a psychiatric hospital (See
Note F--"Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries--Charter Behavioral Health
Systems, LLC" to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements set
forth elsewhere herein) for an aggregate cost of $7.7 million. Additionally, the
$20.0 million placed in escrow upon consummation of the Allied acquisition was
returned to the Company during the quarter, with $4.5 million then being paid by
the Company to the former owners of Allied as additional consideration for the
Allied acquisition.
 
    The Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998,
reflects a reduction in cash and cash equivalents of $21.1 million from the
September 30, 1998 balance which is related to the conversion of several
subsidiaries from consolidation to the equity method. See "--Recent Accounting
Pronouncements--EITF 96-16". This reduction in cash and cash equivalents appears
as net cash used in investing activities in the Company's condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, but does not
represent an actual reduction of cash and cash equivalents at the affected
subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company received $9.3 million in distributions
from unconsolidated subsidiaries, including those referred to above, during the
quarter ended December 31, 1998.
 
    The Company utilized $165.5 million in funds, net of cash acquired, for
acquisitions and investments in businesses, including Allied and HAI, during the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company paid approximately
$4.3 million for Crescent Transaction costs during the quarter ended December
31, 1997.
 
    FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  The Company repaid $40.0 million of debt obligations
outstanding under the Revolving Facility (as defined) during the quarter ended
December 31, 1998. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had $132.5 million of
availability under the Revolving Facility (as defined), excluding $17.5 million
of availability reserved for certain letters of credit. The Company was in
compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 1998.
 
    The Company repurchased approximately 545,000 shares of its common stock for
approximately $12.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1997.

OUTLOOK-LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.  The interest payments on the Company's $625.0
million 9% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Notes") and
interest and principal payments on indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the
Company's $700.0 million senior secured bank credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") represent significant liquidity requirements for the Company.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates and
require interest payments on varying dates depending on the interest rate option
selected by the Company. Borrowings pursuant to the New Credit Agreement include
$550.0 million under a term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and up to
$150.0 million under a revolving facility (the "Revolving Facility"). Commencing
in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company is required to make principal
payments with respect to the Term Loan Facility. The Company is required to
repay the principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan
Facility and the principal amount of the Notes in the years and amounts set
forth in the following table (in thousands):

    POTENTIAL PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.  In December 1997, the Company
purchased HAI from Aetna US Healthcare, Inc. ("Aetna") for approximately $122.1
million, excluding transaction costs. In addition, the Company incurred the
obligation to make contingent payments to Aetna which may total up to $60.0
million annually over the five-year period subsequent to closing. The Company is
obligated to make contingent payments under two separate calculations as
follows: In respect of each Contract Year (as defined), the Company may be
required to pay to Aetna the "Tranche 1 Payments" (as defined) and the "Tranche
2 Payments" (as defined). "Contract Year" means each of the twelve-month periods
ending on the last day of December in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.
 
    Upon the expiration of each Contract Year, the Tranche 1 Payment shall vest
with respect to such Contract Year in an amount equal to the product of (i) the
Tranche 1 Cumulative Incremental Members (as defined) for such Contract Year and
(ii) the Tranche 1 Multiplier (as defined) for such Contract Year. The vested
amount of Tranche 1 Payment shall be zero with respect to any Contract Year in
which the Tranche 1 Cumulative Incremental Members is a negative number.
Furthermore, in the event that the number of Tranche 1 Cumulative Incremental
Members with respect to any Contract Year is a negative number due to a decrease
in the number of Tranche 1 Cumulative Incremental Members for such Contract Year
(as compared to the immediately preceding Contract Year), Aetna will forfeit the
right to receive a certain portion (which may be none or all) of the vested and
unpaid amounts of the Tranche 1 Payment relating to preceding Contract Years.
 
    "Tranche 1 Cumulative Incremental Members" means, with respect to any
Contract Year, (i) the number of Equivalent Members (as defined) serviced by the
Company during such Contract Year for Tranche 1 Members, minus (ii) (A) for each
Contract Year other than the initial Contract Year, the
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
number of Equivalent Members serviced by the Company for Tranche 1 Members
during the immediately preceding Contract Year or (B) for the initial Contract
Year, the number of Tranche 1 Members as of September 30, 1997, subject to
certain upward adjustments. There were 3,761,253 Tranche 1 Members for the
initial Contract Year, prior to such upward adjustments. "Tranche 1 Members" are
members of managed behavioral healthcare plans for whom the Company provides
services in any of specified categories of products or services. "Equivalent
Members" for any Contract Year equals the aggregate Member Months for which the
Company provides services to a designated category or categories of members
during the applicable Contract Year divided by 12. "Member Months" means, for
each member, the number of months for which the Company provides services and is
compensated. The "Tranche 1 Multiplier" is $80, $50, $40, $25, and $20 for the
Contract Years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively.
 
    For each Contract Year, the Company is obligated to pay to Aetna the lesser
of (i) the vested portion of the Tranche 1 Payment for such Contract Year and
the vested and unpaid amount relating to prior Contract Years as of the end of
the immediately preceding Contract Year and (ii) $25.0 million. To the extent
that the vested and unpaid portion of the Tranche 1 Payment exceeds $25.0
million, the Tranche 1 Payment remitted to Aetna shall be deemed to have been
paid first from any vested but unpaid amounts from previous Contract Years in
order from the earliest Contract Year for which vested amounts remain unpaid to
the most recent Contract Year at the time of such calculation. Except with
respect to the Contract Year ending in 2002, any vested but unpaid portion of
the Tranche 1 Payment shall be available for payment to Aetna in future Contract
Years, subject to certain exceptions. All vested but unpaid amounts of Tranche 1
Payments shall expire following the payment of the Tranche 1 Payment in respect
to the Contract Year ending in 2002, subject to certain exceptions. In no event
shall the aggregate Tranche 1 Payments to Aetna exceed $125.0 million.
 
    Upon the expiration of each Contract Year, the Tranche 2 payment shall be an
amount equal to the lesser of: (a) (i) the product of (A) the Tranche 2
Cumulative Members (as defined) for such Contract Year and (B) the Tranche 2
Multiplier (as defined) applicable to such number of Tranche 2 Cumulative
Members, minus (ii) the aggregate of the Tranche 2 Payments paid to Aetna for
all previous Contract Years and (b) $35.0 million. The amount shall be zero with
respect to any Contract Year in which the Tranche 2 Cumulative Members is a
negative number.
 
    "Tranche 2 Cumulative Members" means, with respect to any Contract Year, (i)
the Equivalent Members serviced by the Company during such Contract Year for
Tranche 2 Members, minus (ii) the Tranche 2 Members as of September 30, 1997,
subject to certain upward adjustments. There were 936,391 Tranche 2 Members
prior to such upward adjustments. "Tranche 2 Members" means Members for whom the
Company provides products or services in the HMO category. The "Tranche 2
Multiplier" with respect to each Contract Year is $65 in the event that the
Tranche 2 Cumulative Members are less than 2,100,000 and $70 if more than or
equal to 2,100,000.
 
    For each Contract Year, the Company shall pay to Aetna the amount of Tranche
2 Payment payable for such Contract Year. All rights to receive Tranche 2
Payment shall expire following the payment of the Tranche 2 Payment in respect
to the Contract Year ending in 2002, subject to certain exceptions.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate
Tranche 2 Payment to Aetna exceed $175.0 million, subject to certain exceptions.
 
    The Company believes it will be required to make both the full Tranche 1
Payment and the full Tranche 2 Payment for the Contract Year ended December 31,
1998, subject to further discussion with Aetna. Accordingly, the Company
recorded $60.0 million of goodwill and other intangible assets and a
corresponding liability (which is included in "Deferred credits and other long
term liabilities" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet set
forth elsewhere herein) as of December 31, 1998. The Company intends to borrow
under the Revolving Facility to meet this obligation, which is expected to be
paid during the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
 
                                       23

    In December, 1997 the Company purchased Allied for $70.0 million, excluding
transaction costs. The purchase price the Company originally paid for Allied
consisted of a $50.0 million payment to the former owners of Allied and a $20.0
million deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account and was subject to
increase or decrease based on the operating performance of Allied during the
three years following the closing. The Company was required to pay up to $60.0
million, of which $20.0 million would have been distributed from the escrow
account, during the three years following the closing of the Allied acquisition
if Allied's performance exceeded certain earnings targets.
 
    During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company and the former
owners of Allied amended the Allied purchase agreement (the "Allied
Amendments"). The Allied Amendments resulted in the following changes to the
original terms of the Allied purchase agreement:
 
    - The original $20.0 million placed in escrow by the Company at the
      consummation of the Allied acquisition, plus accrued interest, was repaid
      to the Company. This $20.0 million was included in the $70.0 million
      originally paid for Allied.
 
    - The Company paid the former owners of Allied $4.5 million additional
      consideration which was recorded as goodwill.
 
    - The Company capped future obligations with respect to additional
      contingent payments for the purchase of Allied at $3 million. The earnings
      targets which must be met by Allied for this amount to be paid were
      revised upwards as well.
 
    By virtue of acquiring Merit, the Company may be required to make certain
contingent payments in fiscal 1999 to the former shareholders of CMG Health,
Inc. ("CMG"), which was acquired by Merit in September, 1997, based upon the
performance of three CMG customer contracts. No contingent consideration will be
payable to the former shareholders of CMG based on the performance of two of the
three CMG customer contracts at December 31, 1998. The Company may still be
required to pay contingent consideration to the former shareholders of CMG
depending on the financial performance of Choice. The payment of contingent
consideration to the former shareholders of CMG depends on the financial
performance of Choice from October 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997, which is subject to
a CHAMPUS Adjustment the Company expects to receive in fiscal 1999. Such
contingent payments are subject to an aggregate maximum of $23.5 million.
 
    CREDIT FACILITIES.  The Revolving Facility will provide the Company with
revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount at any
time not to exceed $150.0 million. At December 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately $132.5 million of availability under the Revolving Facility. The
Company estimates that it will spend approximately $50.0 million for capital
expenditures in fiscal 1999. The majority of the Company's anticipated capital
expenditures relate to management information systems and related equipment. The
Company believes that the cash flows generated from its operations, together
with amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, should be
sufficient to fund its debt service requirements, anticipated capital
expenditures, contingent payments with respect to HAI and CMG, and other
investing and financing activities. The Company's future operating performance
and ability to service or refinance the Notes or to extend or refinance the
indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement will be subject to
future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of
which are beyond the Company's control.
 
    RESTRICTIVE FINANCING COVENANTS.  The Credit Agreement imposes restrictions
on the Company's ability to make capital expenditures, and both the Credit
Agreement and the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") limit the
Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such restrictions, together
with the highly leveraged financial condition of the Company, may limit the
Company's ability to respond to market opportunities. The covenants contained in
the Credit Agreement also, among other things, restrict the ability of the
Company to dispose of assets; repay other indebtedness; amend other debt
instruments (including the Indenture); pay dividends; create liens on assets;
enter into sale and leaseback

transactions; make investments, loans or advances; redeem or repurchase common
stock and make acquisitions.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 requires all
nongovernmental entities to expense costs of start-up activities as those costs
are incurred. Start-up costs, as defined by SOP 98-5, include pre-operating
costs, pre-opening costs and organization costs.
 
    SOP 98-5 becomes effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. At adoption, a company must record a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to write off any
unamortized start-up costs remaining on the balance sheet when SOP 98-5 is
adopted. Prior year financial statements cannot be restated. The Company adopted
SOP 98-5 effective October 1, 1998. The Company's adoption of SOP 98-5 had no
impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
    Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, "Investor's Accounting for an
Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but a Minority
Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights" ("EITF 96-16")
supplements the guidance contained in AICPA Accounting Research Bulletin 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements", and in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries" ("ARB
51/FAS 94"), about the conditions under which the Company's consolidated
financial statements should include the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of subsidiaries which are less than wholly-owned along
with those of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
    In general, ARB 51/FAS 94 requires consolidation of all majority-owned
subsidiaries except those for which control is temporary or does not rest with
the majority owner. Under the ARB 51/FAS 94 approach, instances of control not
resting with the majority owner were generally regarded to arise from such
events as the legal reorganization or bankruptcy of the majority-owned
subsidiary. EITF 96-16 expands the definition of instances in which control does
not rest with the majority owner to include those where significant approval or
veto rights, other than those which are merely protective of the minority
shareholder's interest, are held by the minority shareholder or shareholders
("Substantive Participating Rights"). Substantive Participating Rights include,
but are not limited to: i) selecting, terminating and setting the compensation
of management responsible for implementing the majority-owned subsidiary's
policies and procedures and ii) establishing operating and capital decisions of
the majority-owned subsidiary, including budgets, in the ordinary course of
business.
 
    The provisions of EITF 96-16 apply to new investment agreements made after
July 24, 1997, and to existing agreements which are modified after such date.
The Company has made no new investments, and has modified no existing
investments, to which the provisions of EITF 96-16 would have applied.
 
    In addition, the transition provisions of EITF 96-16 must be applied to
majority-owned subsidiaries previously consolidated under ARB 51/FAS 94 for
which the underlying agreements have not been modified in financial statements
issued for years ending after December 15, 1998 (fiscal 1999 for the
 
                                       25

Company). The adoption of the transition provisions of EITF 96-16 on October 1,
1998 had the following effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
(in thousands):

POTENTIAL IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES
 
    The year 2000 computer problem is the inability of computer systems which
store dates by using the last two digits of the year (i.e. "98" for "1998") to
reliably recognize that dates after December 31, 1999 are later than, and not
before, 1999. For instance, the date January 1, 2000, may be mistakenly
interpreted as January 1, 1900, in calculations involving dates on systems which
are non-year 2000 compliant.
 
    The Company relies on information technology ("IT") systems and other
systems and facilities such as telephones, building access control systems and
heating and ventilation equipment ("Embedded Systems") to conduct its business.
These systems are potentially vulnerable to year 2000 problems due to their use
of date information.
 
    The Company also has business relationships with customers and health care
providers and other critical vendors who are themselves reliant on IT and
Embedded Systems to conduct their businesses.
 
STATE OF READINESS
 
    The Company's IT systems are largely decentralized, with each major
operating unit having its own standards for systems which include both purchased
and internally-developed software. The Company's IT hardware infrastructure is
built mainly around mid-range computers and IBM PC-compatible servers and
desktop systems.
 
    The Company's principal means of ensuring year 2000 compliance for purchased
software has been the replacement of non-compliant systems. This replacement
process would have been undertaken for business reasons irrespective of the year
2000 problem; however, it would, more than likely, have been implemented over a
longer period of time. The Company's internally-developed software was either
designed to be year 2000 compliant from inception or is in the process of being
modified to be compliant. Approximately 70% of the Company's mid-range IT
hardware has been certified as year 2000 compliant, with the remainder scheduled
to be certified by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Most of the
Company's non-compliant IBM PC-compatible servers and desktops have been
replaced, with the remainder expected to be replaced by the end of fiscal 1999.
 
    Additionally, the Company is in the process of integrating recently acquired
businesses and their associated IT systems. A primary focus of the integration
is on standardization of systems where possible, including ensuring the year
2000 compliance of the surviving systems.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
    Each of the Company's major operating units has a Chief Information Officer
who is responsible for ensuring that all year 2000 issues are addressed and
mitigated before any computational problems related to dates after December 31,
1999, occur.
 
    The Company's plan for IT systems consists of several phases, primarily:
 
    (i) Inventory--identifying all IT systems and the magnitude of year 2000
        compliance risk of each according to its potential business impact;
 
    (ii) Date assessment--identifying IT systems that use date functions and
         assessing them for year 2000 functionality;
 
   (iii) Remediation--reprogramming, or replacing where necessary, inventoried
         items to ensure they are year 2000 ready; and
 
    (iv) Testing and certification--testing the code modifications and new
         inventory with other associated systems, including extensive date
         testing and performing quality assurance testing to ensure successful
         operation in the post-1999 environment. The Company has substantially
         completed the inventory and assessment phases for substantially all of
         its IT systems. The Company's IT systems are currently in the
         remediation and testing and certification phases. The Company plans to
         complete the remediation of substantially all of its critical IT
         systems by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the
         remediation of its other IT systems by the end of the third quarter of
         fiscal 1999 and the testing and certification of all of its IT systems
         by the end of fiscal 1999.
 
    The Company leases most of the office space in which its reliance on
Embedded Systems presents a potential problem and is currently working with the
respective lessors to identify and correct any potential year 2000 problems
related to these Embedded Systems.
 
    The Company believes that its year 2000 projects generally are on schedule.
 
EXTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS
 
    The Company also faces the risk that one or more of its critical suppliers
or customers ("External Relationships") will not be able to interact with the
Company due to the third party's inability to resolve its own year 2000 issues,
including those associated with its own External Relationships. The Company has
completed its inventory of External Relationships and risk rated each External
Relationship based upon the potential business impact, available alternatives
and cost of substitution. The Company is attempting to determine the overall
year 2000 readiness of its External Relationships. In the case of significant
customers and mission critical suppliers such as banks, telecommunications
providers and other utilities and IT vendors, the Company is engaged in
discussions with the third parties and is attempting to obtain detailed
information as to those parties' year 2000 plans and state of readiness. The
Company, however, does not have sufficient information at the current time to
predict whether its External Relationships will be year 2000 ready.
 
YEAR 2000 COSTS
 
    Total costs incurred solely for remediation of potential year 2000 problems
are currently estimated to be approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 1999. A large
majority of these costs are expected to be incremental expenses that will not
recur in the year 2000 or thereafter. The Company expenses these costs as
incurred and funds these costs through operating cash flows. In addition, the
Company estimates that it will accelerate approximately $5.0 million of capital
expenditures that would have been budgeted for future periods into fiscal 1999
to ensure year 2000 compliance for outdated systems.
 
    Year 2000 compliance is critical to the Company. The Company has redeployed
some resources from non-critical system enhancements to address year 2000
issues. Due to the importance of IT systems to the Company's business,
management has deferred non-critical systems enhancements to become year 2000
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
ready. The Company does not expect these redeployments and deferrals to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
 
RISKS AND CONTINGENCY/RECOVERY PLANNING
 
    If the Company's year 2000 issues were unresolved, the most reasonably
likely worst case scenario would include, among other possibilities, the
inability to accurately and timely authorize and process benefits and claims,
accurately bill customers, assess claims exposure, determine liquidity
requirements, report accurate data to management, stockholders, customers,
regulators and others, business interruptions or shutdowns, financial losses,
reputational harm, loss of significant customers, increased scrutiny by
regulators and litigation related to year 2000 issues. The Company is attempting
to limit the potential impact of the year 2000 by monitoring the progress of its
own year 2000 project and those of its critical External Relationships and by
developing contingency/recovery plans. The Company cannot guarantee that it will
be able to resolve all of its year 2000 issues. Any critical unresolved year
2000 issues at the Company or its External Relationships, however, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or
financial condition.
 
    The Company has developed contingency/recovery plans aimed at ensuring the
continuity of critical business functions before and after December 31, 1999. As
part of that process, the Company has substantially completed the development of
manual work alternatives to automated processes which will both ensure business
continuity and provide a ready source of input to affected systems when they are
returned to an operational status. These manual alternatives presume, however,
that basic infrastructure such as electrical power and telephone service, as
well as purchased systems which are advertised to be year 2000 compliant by
their manufacturers (primarily personal computers and productivity software)
will remain unaffected by the year 2000 problem.

                                    RECITALS

                  A. The parties entered into that certain Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of October 16, 1997 (the "Original Agreement"), as amended by
that certain First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 5,
1997 (the "First Amendment"), as further amended by that certain Second
Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Second
Amendment", the Original Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and as
further amended by the Second Agreement referred to herein as the "Asset
Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

                  B. The parties desire to further amend the Asset Purchase
Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth hereinbelow.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
mutual promises of the parties, and in consideration of the representations,
warranties and covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


                  1. AMENDMENTS.


                     1.1 BUY-OUT OF REMAINING EARNOUT. In exchange for the
payment by the Buyer to AHG of the aggregate sum of $500,000 (the "Remaining
Buyout Price"), payable in cash upon the execution of this Amendment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, (a) the Buyer shall be entitled to
receive, and AHG shall release all claims to, the Remaining Clawback (as said
term is defined in the Second Amendment) and any interest or earnings thereon,
and (b) the

<PAGE>

Buyer shall purchase, and AHG shall sell, the Remaining Earnout (as said term is
defined in the Second Amendment). The parties to this Amendment acknowledge and
agree that the Remaining Buyout Price is payable in consideration for the

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and
between John Wider, an individual ("Officer"), and MAGELLAN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("Employer").

     WHEREAS, Employer desires to obtain the services of Officer and Officer
desires to render services to Employer; and

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer desire to set forth the terms and conditions
of Officer's employment with Employer under this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the
mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree
as follows:

                             STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

     1. EMPLOYMENT. Employer agrees to employ Officer, and Officer accepts such
employment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for an initial term
of three years commencing on November 17, 1998 and, unless terminated earlier in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, ending on November 16, 2001. After
the initial three-year term has expired, this Agreement will renew automatically
on the anniversary date of each year for a one-year term. If either party
desires not to renew the Agreement, they must provide the other party with
written notice of their intent not to renew the Agreement at least one hundred
twenty days prior to the next anniversary date.

     2. POSITION AND DUTIES OF OFFICER. Officer will serve as President and
Chief Operating Officer of Employer. Officer agrees to serve in such position,
or in such other positions of a similar status or level with substantially
similar duties, and to perform the duties commensurate with such position that
Employer may assign from time to time to Officer until the expiration of the
term or such time as Officer's employment with Employer is terminated pursuant
to this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that shifts in reporting
relationships from "straight line" to "dotted line" or vice versa for certain
corporate functions will not be deemed a violation of this Section or Section
6(c)(iv).

     3. TIME DEVOTED AND LOCATION OF OFFICER.

        (a) Officer will devote his or his full business time and energy to the
business affairs and interests of Employer, and will use his best efforts and
abilities to promote Employer's interests. Officer agrees that he or she will
diligently endeavor to perform services contemplated by this Agreement in a
manner consistent with his position and in accordance with the policies
established by the Employer.

        (b) Officer's primary business office will be located in Columbia,
Maryland.


<PAGE>


     4. COMPENSATION.

        (a) BASE SALARY. Employer will pay Officer a base salary in the amount
of three hundred eighty thousand dollars per year, which amount will be paid in
bi-weekly intervals less appropriate withholdings for federal and state taxes
and other deductions authorized by Officer. Such salary will be subject to
review and potential increase by Employer from time to time. Any reduction in
Officer's base salary will be consistent with and the result of reductions made
regarding other officers or employees at his level including the President and
Chief Executive Officer of Magellan Health Services.

        (b) BENEFITS. Officer will be eligible to participate in benefit plans
commensurate with his position. Officer will receive separate information
detailing the terms of such benefits and the terms of such plans will control.
Officer also will be eligible to participate in any annual incentive plan and
stock option plan applicable to Officer by its terms. Officer will be entitled
during the term of this Agreement to such other benefits of employment with
Employer as are now or may later be in effect for salaried officers or employees
of Employer, and also will be eligible to participate in other executive level
benefits adopted for officers or employees at his level. This Agreement shall
not be construed to modify or limit Officer's right to applicable COBRA benefits
in the event of termination of this Agreement.

     5. EXPENSES. During the term of this Agreement, Employer will reimburse
Officer promptly for all reasonable travel, entertainment, parking, business
meetings and similar expenditures in pursuance and furtherance of Employer's
business upon receipt of reasonably supporting documentation as required by
Employer's policies applicable to its officers and employees generally.

     6. TERMINATION.

        (a) TERMINATION DUE TO RESIGNATION AND TERMINATION WITH CAUSE. Except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement, Officer's employment, and
Officer's rights to receive compensation and benefits from Employer, will
terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the effective
date of Officer's resignation, or (ii) termination for cause at the discretion
of Employer under the following circumstances: (w) Officer's commission of an
act of fraud or dishonesty involving his duties on behalf of Employer; (x)
Officer's willful failure or refusal to faithfully and diligently perform duties
assigned to Officer or other breach of any material term under this Agreement;
(y) Officer's willful failure or refusal to abide by Employer's policies, rules,
procedures or directives; or (z) Officer's conviction of a felony or a
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. If Officer resigns or is terminated
pursuant to this Section 6(a), Employer's only remaining financial obligation to
Officer under this Agreement will be to pay any earned but unpaid base salary
through the date of Officer's termination.

     For the events described in Sections 6(a)(ii)(x) and (y), Employer will
give Officer written notice of such event and a reasonable opportunity to cure
such situation, but in no event less than thirty days.


                                       2
<PAGE>

         (b) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE AND EXPIRATION. Employer may terminate
this Agreement without cause at any time by giving thirty days prior written
notice to Officer. If Employer terminates this Agreement without cause, Employer
shall continue to pay Officer severance as hereinafter defined for a period of
time equal to the greater of (i) the remaining term of this Agreement or (ii)
two years. For purposes of this Section 6(b), "severance" shall mean the
compensation provided for in Section 4(a) of this Agreement plus a prorated
bonus calculated with reference to any existing bonus plan and the date of
termination of this Agreement. Officer's entitlement to a pro-rated bonus will
be subject to established terms of such bonus plan and the performance of
Officer's relevant business unit. In addition, Employer will continue to pay,
during the severance period, the portion of premiums for life, health and
disability insurance maintained by Employer in which Officer participated at the
date of termination. No other severance benefits or compensation will be paid to
Officer if he is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(b), unless otherwise
provided for in the terms of the applicable benefit plan. In the event of
non-renewal of this Agreement by Employer, Employer shall pay Officer severance
for a period of two years from the date of expiration of this Agreement. As a
precondition to the right to receive any severance, Officer shall be in strict
compliance with Officer's obligations as set forth in Section 7 of this
Agreement.

     (c) TERMINATION BY OFFICER FOR GOOD CAUSE. Officer may terminate this
Agreement, and his employment with Employer, for "good cause" upon the
occurrence of any of the following:

             (i) a requirement by Employer that Officer relocate his personal
residence in order to fulfill Officer's duties under this Agreement;

             (ii) the failure of Employer to comply with Section 4;

             (iii) any material breach of this Agreement by Employer; or

             (iv) the assignment to Officer of any duties inconsistent with
Officer's status as President and Chief Operating Officer of Employer or a
substantial alteration in the nature or status of his responsibilities.

             Prior to terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section,
Officer shall give to Employer written notice of his "good cause" for
terminating this Agreement and provide Employer with a reasonable period in
which to contest or correct the "good cause", but in no event less than thirty
days. In the event of a termination for "good cause" pursuant to this Section,
Officer will be entitled to receive all compensation and benefits provided for
in this Agreement for a termination by Employer without cause.


                                       3

                 (d) AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. This Agreement will terminate
automatically upon the death or permanent disability of Officer. Officer will be
deemed to be "Disabled" or to suffer from a "Disability" within the meaning of
this Agreement if, because of a physical or mental impairment, Officer has been
unable to perform the essential functions of his position for a period of 180
consecutive days, or if Officer can reasonably be expected to be unable to
perform the essential functions of his position for such period. The term
"essential duties" is defined as the ability to consistently perform his
assigned duties, including travel requirements. Subject to continuing coverage
under applicable benefit plans, if Officer is terminated pursuant to this
Section 6(d), Employer's only remaining financial obligation to Officer under
this Agreement will be to pay any earned but unpaid base salary through the date
of Officer's termination.

             (e) EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Except as otherwise provided for in this
Section 6, upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations under
this Agreement will cease except for the rights and obligations under Sections 4
and 5 to the extent Officer has not been compensated or reimbursed for services
performed prior to termination (the amount of compensation to be prorated for
the portion of the pay period prior to termination); the rights and obligations
under Sections 7, 8 and 9; and all procedural and remedial provisions of this
Agreement. A termination of this Agreement will constitute a termination of
Officer's employment with Employer.

             (f) TERMINATION UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. Officer will be entitled
to terminate this Agreement upon a change of control and will be entitled to the
salary, benefits and other rights provided in this Agreement as though the
termination had been initiated by Employer without cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, a change of control will take place upon the occurrence of any of the
following events: (a) the acquisition after the beginning of the term in one or
more transactions of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3(a)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")) by any person or entity (other than Officer or Henry Harbin) or any group
of persons or entities (other than Henry Harbin) who constitute a group (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of any securities of Employer
such that as a result of such acquisition such person or entity or group
beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) under the Exchange
Act) more than 50% of Employer's then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote on a regular basis for a majority of the Board of Directors of Employer; or
(b) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Employer (including,
without limitation, by way of merger, consolidation, lease or transfer) in a
transaction (except for a sale-leaseback transaction) where Employer or the
holders of common stock of Employer do not receive (i) voting securities
representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote on a regular basis
for the Board of Directors of the acquiring entity or of an affiliate which
controls the acquiring entity, or (ii) securities representing a majority of the
equity interest in the acquiring entity or of an affiliate that controls the
acquiring entity, if other than a corporation; PROVIDED, that if Officer becomes
entitled to any payments (whether hereunder or otherwise) by reason of an event
described in Internal Revenue Code


                                       4
<PAGE>

Section 280G (a "Parachute Event") that would constitute "excess parachute
payments" (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G) if paid, then
Officer's entitlement to such payments will be reduced by such amount as will
cause none of such payments to constitute excess parachute payments, if, and
only if, the net amount received by Officer by reason of the Parachute Event,
after imposition of all applicable taxes (including taxes under Internal Revenue
Code Section 4099), would be greater after such reduction than if such reduction
were not made.

     7. PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION/NON-COMPETITION/NON-SOLICITATION.

     Officer covenants and agrees as follows:

        (a) During Employer's employment of Officer and for a period of two 
years following the termination of Officer's employment for any reason, Officer
will not use or disclose, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatsoever or
in any way, other than at the direction of Employer during the course of
Officer's employment or after receipt of the prior written consent of Employer,
any confidential information or trade secrets of Employer or its controlled
subsidiaries or affiliates, including, but not limited to, the following: lists
of past, current or potential customers of Employer and its controlled
subsidiaries and affiliates; all systems, manuals, materials, processes and
other intellectual property of any type used by Employer or its controlled
subsidiaries and affiliates in connection with their respective business
operations; financial statements, cost reports and other financial information;
contract proposals and bidding information; rate and fee structures; policies
and procedures developed as part of a confidential business plan; and management
systems and procedures, including manuals and supplements (collectively, the
"Confidential Information"). The obligation not to use or disclose any
Confidential Information will not apply to: (i) any Confidential Information
known by Officer before commencing employment with Employer, (ii) Confidential
Information which Officer obtains from a third party, provided Officer has no
actual or constructive knowledge that the third party obtained the Confidential
Information by wrongful or inappropriate means, (iii) following the termination
of the employment of Officer with Employer, to any information that is or
becomes public knowledge through no fault of Officer, and that may be utilized
by the public without any direct or indirect obligation to Employer, but the
termination of the obligation for non-use or nondisclosure by reason of such
information becoming public will extend only from the date such information
becomes public knowledge, or (iv) disclosure compelled by legal process. The
above will be without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Employer under any
state or federal law protecting trade secrets or other information.

        (b) During Employer's employment of Officer and for a period of two
years following the term or termination of Officer's employment with Employer
for any reason, Officer will not, within a radius of fifty miles of any existing
operation of Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates engaged in
the delivery of behavioral managed care services, engage, directly or
indirectly, in any commercial capacity, whether in an executive, operational,
consulting or sales capacity, in the development or delivery of behavioral
managed care services, or have any material ownership interest in any business
owning, operating, developing, contracting or providing such behavioral managed
care services. Employer acknowledges and agrees that this provision shall not be
construed to prohibit the provision by Officer of consulting services not in the
field of behavioral managed care.


                                       5
<PAGE>

        (c) During Employer's employment of Officer and for a period of two
years following the term or termination of Officer's employment for any reason,
Officer will not solicit or call upon any current client of Employer or its
controlled subsidiaries or affiliates for the purpose of the delivery of
behavioral managed care services by an entity or person(s) other than Employer
or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates. For purposes of this Section 7(c),
the term "current client" is defined as any entity or person(s) with whom
Employer, or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates, has provided, or has
contracted to provide, behavioral managed care services during the year
preceding the final date of Officer's employment with Employer.

        (d) During Employer's employment of Officer and for a period of one year
following the termination of Officer's employment with Employer for any reason,
Officer will not solicit for employment, directly or indirectly, any employee of
Employer or any of its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates who was employed
with Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates within the one year
period immediately prior to Officer's termination.

        (e) The foregoing terms of this Section 7 shall be modified as follows:

            (i) GENERAL LIMITATIONS. The provisions of Section 7(b) shall not
            apply with respect to any employment approved in writing by an
            authorized officer of Employer, or employment with a health
            maintenance organization or insurance company provided Officer's
            duties do not come within the scope of the prohibitions set forth in
            Section 7(b);

            (ii) RESIGNATION. In the event of termination due to resignation
            pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, the prohibitions set
            forth in Section 7(b) and Section 7(c) shall apply for one year.

            (iii) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. In the event of termination without
            cause pursuant to Section 6(b) or termination for good reason by
            Officer pursuant to Section 6(c); after a period of one year from
            the date of termination of this Agreement and written notice to
            Employer, Officer may undertake employment or provide services in
            contravention of Sections 7(b) and (c), provided, however, that
            Officer shall be entitled to no further severance subsequent to the
            commencement of such employment or undertakings.

            (iv) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event of a termination for cause
            pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, the prohibitions set
            forth in Sections 7(b) and (c) shall apply for six months following
            the termination of Officer's employment with Employer.


                                       6
<PAGE>

            (v) EXPIRATION. In the event this Agreement should expire after its
            original term or any extension, after a period of one year from the
            date of termination of this Agreement and written notice to
            Employer, Officer may undertake employment or provide services in
            contravention of Sections 7(b) and (c), provided, however, that
            Officer shall be entitled to no further severance subsequent to the
            commencement of such employment or undertakings.

            (vi) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of termination by Officer due
            to a change in control pursuant to Section 6(f), after a period of
            one year from the date of termination of this Agreement and written
            notice to Employer, Officer may undertake employment or provide
            services in contravention of Sections 7(b) and (c), provided,
            however, that Officer shall be entitled to no further severance
            subsequent to the commencement of such employment or undertakings.

     8. WORK MADE FOR HIRE. Officer agrees that any written program materials,
protocols, research papers and all other writings (the "Work"), which Officer
develops for Employer's use, or for use by Employer's controlled subsidiaries or
affiliates, during the term of this Agreement, will be considered "work made for
hire" within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act, Title 17, United
States Code, which vests all copyright interest in and to the Work in the
Employer. In the event, however, that any court of competent jurisdiction
finally declares that the Work is not or was not a work made for hire as agreed,
Officer agrees to assign, convey, and transfer to the Employer all right, title
and interest Officer may presently have or may have or be deemed to have in and
to any such Work and in the copyright of such work, including but not limited
to, all rights of reproduction, distribution, publication, public performance,
public display and preparation of derivative works, and all rights of ownership
and possession of the original fixation of the Work and any and all copies.
Additionally, Officer agrees to execute any documents necessary for Employer to
record and/or perfect its ownership of the Work and the applicable copyright.
The foregoing will not apply to any writings Officer develops which are not for
Employer's use or are in each instance specifically excluded in advance of
publication from the coverage of the foregoing by Employer's Board of Directors.

     9. PROPERTY OF EMPLOYER. Officer agrees that, upon the termination of
Officer's employment with Employer, Officer will immediately surrender to
Employer all property, equipment, funds, lists, books, records and other
materials of Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates in the
possession of or provided to Officer.

     10. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and all issues relating to the validity,
interpretation and performance will be governed by and interpreted under the
laws of the State of Maryland.


                                       7
<PAGE>

     11. REMEDIES. Employer and Officer agree that an actual or threatened
violation by Officer of the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 7, 8
and 9 will cause irreparable harm to Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or
affiliates and that the remedy at law for any such violation will be inadequate.
Officer agrees, therefore, that Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or
affiliates will be entitled to appropriate equitable relief, including, but not
limited to, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, without
the necessity of posting a bond. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 will
survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth
in each Section.

     12. ARBITRATION. Except for an action for injunctive relief as described in
Section 11, any disputes or controversies arising under this Agreement will be
settled by arbitration in Columbia, Maryland in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association relating to the arbitration of employment
disputes. The determination and findings of such arbitrators will be final and
binding on all parties and may be enforced, if necessary, in any court of
competent jurisdiction.

     13. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of litigation or arbitration between
Officer and Employer arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the acts
of the parties pursuant to this Agreement, or seeking an interpretation of this
Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation or arbitration, in addition
to any other judgment or award, shall be entitled to receive such sums as the
court or panel hearing the matter shall find to be reasonable as and for
attorneys' fees.
